Because of You (因为遇见你)

Episode 8 -

In the end you're just an empty shell. And you even said you'll take me abroad to study? Do you know what this kind of action is called?

This is marriage fraud!

Let me explain--

Let me tell you. My spouse

must be someone rich who can give me a happy life. If you don't have anything, then we can only be strangers.

Didn't we agree already? The clothes, including the embroidery, will be done by you.

Why did you let the daughter of the wonton shop's owner do it?

Sister Wang, don't worry. This is the apprentice that I trained by hand. There's no problem with her skill.

Teacher! Sorry, I'm late. There were too many takeout deliveries today.

Don't worry, you're right on time.

Here.

Let me see.

Here.

Not bad. The handiwork is good.

Wait, there seems to be something wrong.

Wrong, wrong.

What's the problem with this?

Why is this dress slanted?

Your mistake is too outrageous. Teacher Song,

what is this? How do you expect me to explain this to Sister Zhou?! It's slanted!

Guo Guo, you shouldn't have made such a mistake. Were you tired recently?

I actually did this on purpose.

Little girl, are you purposely trying to drive me mad? You would even purposely make it slanted?

You want someone to wear this kind of dress to a wedding?

No, Boss.

Teacher, you also said that this dress was for the food market's Miss Zhou.

Yes.

Her foot's a little crippled. The right is slightly longer than the left. I was afraid if the dress was aligned,

she would step on it when she was walking, so...

Boss, don't be angry. This isn't Teacher's fault. If you need to blame someone, blame me. I'm sorry.

Actually, this little girl's got a point.

The most suitable is the best. I've seen the food market's Miss Zhou before, but I didn't think of this.

Guo Guo, you're very thoughtful.

Aiyo, even the side embroideries are asymmetrical.

Yes.

Teacher Song, this student of yours isn't ordinary.

Guo Guo, if you had to choose between selling wontons and learning embroidery, which one do you like better?

This... This is pretty hard to choose. I sell wontons in order to make money.

Learning embroidery is purely for my own interest. As soon as I pick up the needle, it's like I'm on steroids.

I don't feel tired even if I don't sleep.

You're right. Hobbies and occupations are often inconsistent.

If those two points can merge together, that's the happiest occasion.

Guo Guo, I hope from now on, you won't just consider embroidery as a hobby.

Teacher, do you not want me to learn embroidery any more?

I want you to start thinking of embroidery sincerely as your occupation.

You have so much talent in embroidery. I want to officially accept you as my apprentice and train you.

What you mean is, you officially accept me as your apprentice? I can study embroidery from you in the future?

Yes.

Not just apparel, but also handkerchiefs and decorative embroidery. As long as you want to learn it, I'll teach it.

No good! I'm too excited! My heart's about to burst out!

Teacher, meeting you is my life's biggest honor.

Oh, right. Remember that cheongsam competition by Strong Group you told me about?

I already signed up.

Really?

You signed up?

When my teacher comes out, who's going to stand a chance?

Teacher, don't be worried. If you need a helper for miscellaneous things, come to me.

The one who's participating isn't me. It's you.

Me?

Mom, the skills you taught me,

I will completely pass onto this child. Let her take my place in helping share your burden.

Have you all washed your hands?

We've washed them.

You must remember: Hands must be clean. Also, keep them smooth.

If you make the cloth dirty or ruin the thread, we can't use it any more.

Alright. You can begin.

The thread on the tail of the goldfish is too thick.

You must use the thinnest thread for the tail.

If I become a member of Golden Thread Embroidery or even replace Jin Yi Bei one day

and become a part of the Jin family, would my life be as dazzling as these embroidery pieces?

Mom, I'm back.

Stupid daughter. I didn't even see your face all day. Do you want me to break your legs?

Okay, okay. Look who's here.

Xiu Hua's here! - I'm here to discuss something with you.

What is it? Let's sit and talk.

Sit. - Okay.

Drink something.

Thanks.

I'm here to tell you that I want to officially accept Guo Guo as my apprentice and let her learn embroidery.

Guo Guo says she must listen to her mom's opinion.

But what about the shop's business?

Mom, in the morning I'll help out at the shop. After work, I'll go to learn with Teacher, okay?

Ai Yu, business is very important, but you must also take in account Guo Guo's future.

You can't make her work here for her entire life, right?

I've been observing her for awhile. This child's got talent and can endure hard work.

If she can learn embroidery with me, she'd be a rare talent.

Xiu Hua, are you joking with me? How come I haven't seen any talent on this girl?

Hey, are you going there because helping me at the wonton shop is too tiring?

Mom, it's not like that. I really do like embroidery.

Growing up, I was never persistent on anything. Just let me learn embroidery, I really like it.

But this...

Ai Yu, I won't accept any tuition fee. Once Guo Guo learns it, she can even help you earn money.

You won't lose any profit in this investment.

Xiu Hua, since you're personally requesting, I can't reject.

But I have one condition: It must not affect your work at the wonton shop.

Don't worry, it won't affect business.

What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? Do you want to drink some hot tea?

Teacher,

I have something to ask of you.

Can you teach me embroidery?

Why do you suddenly want to learn?

I saw you teaching the students to embroider, using needle and thread to draw on cloth.

I really like it. Can you take me as your disciple?

Yu Xin, I know you are a top student in the design major at school. But you have absolutely no foundation in embroidery.

I'm afraid that you will waste your time. Plus, starting to learn it now is already too late.

I know. I will work ten times harder, a hundred times harder than other people.

Please can you just give me one chance, Teacher?

Embroidery is not something you can learn in a year or two. I learned day and night for over ten years.

After many strict contests, that's how I'm here today.

No matter how difficult, I'm willing. Growing up, I've always admired you.

I've always wanted to learn from you, so I changed majors from art to fashion design.

Since you're so determined, then fine. First, sew your own name for me to see

whether you have talent in this field.

Okay. Thank you, Teacher.

I'll definitely do my best and be your best student.

Then, I'll become the next lead embroiderer.

Lead embroiderer isn't something that you can become so easily.

Moreover, the heir to the Golden Thread Embroidery can only be from the Jin family.

We already have my daughter, Yi Bei.

But hasn't Yi Bei been lost for many years already?

She will definitely come back!

Then, Teacher, until she comes back, I'm willing to be Yi Bei's substitute. If it's for you, I'm willing to do anything.

If, at that time, you think my abilities are lacking, I'll leave Golden Thread Embroidery myself.

I apologize. The heir to Golden Thread Embroidery can only be my daughter, Jin Yi Bei.

The air conditioning of the new apartment you're renting should be installed now, right?

If you want, you can get a new one.

The money in here should be enough for you to pay rent. I'm busy so I'll leave first.

You're only willing to give me money, but not willing to accept me. This is how hobos are treated.

Okay, go back to work.

Be careful on the way back.

Okay. - Bye-bye.

There aren't any restaurants. If I stay here for a few days, then wouldn't I--

I would become skinnier from hunger.

Hey!

Don't block my path. I am going to honor this place by eating here. Move aside.

We don't welcome you here. Get out.

Hey, why should I leave just because you said so? Are you the boss of this shop?

Xiao Yu's the boss.

That's right! This is Xiao Yu's store. How is Xiao Yu related to you?

Xiao Yu is my mom.

I must go inside today! What will you do to me?

Hey!

Get out.

Miss Barbarian, give me two bowls of wontons.

Who are you calling Miss Barbarian? Get out!

I'm calling you. Didn't you hear me?

Giving me attitude in my territory? I'm going to punish you!

Hey!

If you intentionally hurt me, don't blame me if I sue you.

Sue me? Let's see who sues who?

Hey!

Mom, this jerk wants to bully me.

Very well. You dare to bully my daughter?

Xiao Yu, right? I'm telling you, s-she...

Is "Xiao Yu" something you can call me? I'm going to teach you a lesson.

Don't, don't! - You dare to bully my daughter?

Aren't you too gutsy?

You little jerk! I'll beat you every time you come here!

Did you hear? Boss Lu went bankrupt. This building was auctioned off.

Yes. I heard he owes the bank a lot of money, and he's serving a sentence. Others say he's run away.

The most miserable is his son. The debt that his dad owes is all up to him to pay back.

I'm finished. If Lu Si Chen's involved in this, will I be implicated, too?

Yu Xin, have you been busy lately looking for a job?

How come you haven't called me in so long?

No matter what I do, it's wrong. Everyone looks down on me.

Are you in some kind of situation?

What's the use of telling you?

Yu Xin. Yu Xin?

Why is my life so hard?

I finally found a rich person who likes me.

Why did he have to turn into a poor person? Heavens!

What wrong did I do in my past life? Why are you like this to me?

I can't accept defeat. I still have a chance.

I must enter Golden Thread Embroidery.

I must control my fate with my own hands.

Teacher, I already finished the upper garment.

But I thought it was too plain, so I added some knots on top.

Guo Guo, I didn't teach you how to do knots before. Why do you know this?

What's wrong? Is it not good looking?

I just saw you doing it sometimes, so I gave it a try. I didn't think I'd actually succeed.

You learn so quickly.

Guo Guo, if you've got time, read these books.

Us embroiderers partly work under "practice makes perfect."

We also need to understand the allusions and famous art pieces of embroidery.

This can help you open up your imagination. It'll be beneficial to you in the competition.

Don't worry. If it's a task from you, Teacher, I'll be sure to memorize it.

Teacher, what is this?

This is an ancient piece of art, "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains."

Don't think only artists can create famous pieces.

Skillful embroiderers can also use needles and threads as their tools to recreate famous paintings.

We have a similar pillowcase. If I knew it was famous,

I would have asked my mom to drool less on it.

Because of this piece's fame, many people hang it up as decoration.

So unfortunate. That embroidery most similar to the original piece...

In order to recreate "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains," I interviewed

the most famous embroidery seniors from all over the world.
