" Our Glamourous Time "
Episode 24
Everyone is waiting for your return now.
I can go back to Xin Bao Rui at any time.
Just let them wait for few days.
But what's making me headache now is still Ai Da.
Even if I go back,
I have to face Li Zhi Cheng nonetheless.
He has Lin Qian by his side.
He also has Grace as his backup.
The three of them working together...
will always be a threat to us.
Atlantic blue-fin tuna, try it out.
It looks delicious.
Not only will I make you foods today,
I also have a gift for you.
What is it?
Look.
What is this?
Grace is organizing a Fashion Star Contest.
A designer competition? Why am I involved?
Please hear me out.
Each designer will have their own model...
to showcase the work they designed.
But the rules forbid the hiring of any professional model.
We need someone normal. So, I think of you.
So, you want me to be a mannequin?
This is a very influential contest.
Many other countries held it before.
And the Chinese version of the contest be the centre of attention too.
So, I was thinking,
didn't you open a page about fashion?
If you join this contest, you will gain a lot of followers.
You want me to be the judge?
I am not over what happened on May 20.
There is no ever-lasting friendship on business.
None can forever be foes either.
I am inviting you to this show for one purpose only.
This show needs credibility.
And you have outstanding achievements in this field.
So, I hope you can be the judge.
That's all.
How do I know you are not inviting me...
because of other motives?
You want to defame me? Make fun of me?
No, it's because of your sense for aesthetics.
And through this show,
you can reforge your reputation for the better.
Reforge my reputation?
I think my reputation is good. It doesn't need reforging.
Grace, I think if you are asking for help,
you should have the proper attitude.
That tone you have doesn't sound like you are asking.
I am asking for help?
Mr. Chen, you must be mistaken.
Joining this show is a great publicity for Si Mei Qi.
Besides, the pay you get from this show will be very sound.
Two birds with one stone, or even better.
How am I the one asking for help? Please, stop joking.
Discussing about money, with me? You don't know me at all.
When did I ever do anything because of the money?
Right, I forgot.
Mr. Chen is never in need of money.
But I have heard rumours.
After the May 20 Shopping Day, you and your father...
had a little falling out.
Whether the rumours are true or not, I believe your father...
would really wish to see the glory of his son on television.
This will no doubt help the two of you reconcile.
So, I came here sincerely to invite you.
If you really feel...
reluctant, passive or even annoyed about this,
you can take your time and consider this offer.
That won't be necessary.
Since you are so sincere about making this offer,
and you do have some points in what you said earlier,
I shall, even though unwillingly, help you out this time.
Good.
Mr. Chen, you are a man of subtlety.
Thank you for your cooperation.
We will make a good team.
Han Jing, actually,
you don't have to go through so much to visit me.
I think I am having a good life.
I am free.
I have nothing to think about.
This isn't bad.
Did President Zhu cause you any trouble lately?
Wei Kai, my father will understand sooner or later.
I hope you won't...
What are you waiting for?
You might be the one we are looking for.
- Hello? - Hello? Madam Debt Owner?
I will be right there.
I am not your madam. Did you bring the money?
You are being too demanding.
Pay what you owed, that is the rule of the world, okay?
And remember, plus the interest.
Interest will roll down the hill like a snow ball!
You can't be so harsh.
What? You agreed to meet today and pay me!
I have other things to attend to.
How about I pay you some of the interest first?
How about that? I can pay for a round of karaoke.
Stop fooling around, please.
You can pay for the karaoke but not me?
Enough of your nonsense. Come here at once.
Have you submitted the designer name list?
It's done, but I have something else to tell you.
A new resume just came in to the counter.
But we have already fixed the name list.
As for all the late submissions,
just reject them.
Grace.
It's Ning Wei Kai.
Ning Wei Kai?
Not bad for a design.
Talk to the higher-ups and see if they can let him enter.
Okay.
I don't understand.
According to Grace's invitation,
all designers...
must bring along a non-professional model.
It's better if it's a friend.
Someone who can understand each other.
That's part of the rules too.
But...
I know nothing about cat-walk.
Look at me.
If I go with you,
people will think I am there for protection racket.
It's okay.
- I can give you a make-over. - No.
I will only be dragging you down.
I think you should get someone else for this.
Ever since I left Xin Bao Rui,
I don't have many friends left.
How is it?
Okay, not that impressive.
Okay?
Just the speakers alone cost thousands.
It has surround sound. Heard of that before?
No.
Even the cushion behind you is a speaker. Try it out.
How is it?
Interesting.
- Why did you hit me? - What were you doing then?
I want to listen too.
You have one too.
It still feels like a dream to me.
It's a fantasy no matter how I think of it.
I just can't believe it.
This is the king of all shows.
My Wardrobe! Many young designers are trying all they have to get in.
You will be there soon.
I am so excited. It's so exhilarating.
They are so many contestants.
No one knows what will happen.
I have full confidence in you.
Don't forget, you are Lin Qian the mighty designer.
I can almost see you standing on the stage of Paris Fashion Week.
Elegant and charming.
Countless camera flashes follow you.
And down the stage, all the reporters are interviewing.
Lin Qian the designer,
what is your thought at this very moment?
Miss Ya Yi,
the cameras are only focusing on the models, right?
- Enough, stop fooling around. - I am just too excited.
I am having a little fantasy.
I am sorry for being late.
I'll get you some tea.
Okay.
You are here.
I should be going with you.
But there are works at Ai Da that I must see to myself.
I am sorry.
It's okay, I can understand that.
- I will help you with the packing. - No, never mind.
You...
should just sit right here.
Stay there and watch while I pack. I like to do it myself.
What's wrong?
You look just like my father.
I remember the night before I went to middle school.
I was excited and packing my own things.
My father was sitting there watching me.
It seems like I can take over my father-in-law's job.
What do you mean?
I didn't say yes.
Being my father is not easy.
An example?
My father will blow my hair for me.
I can do that.
Go out and play on a bicycle.
I can do that.
I remember when I was a kid,
all the little plates and bowls...
will have my father's label on it.
It said 'For Qian Qian only'.
