Customize Happiness

Episode 17 -

Do you know what the problem is?

Please tell me.

A good design needs to be full of life

and not just depend on a piece of fabric.

Here, I do not see any life that a high class design needs to have.

That is to say,

when we buy fish, we need to look for live and fresh ones.

The fabric may be lifeless, but the designs we make have to be full of life.

It has to be very lively and full of character.

This can't be achieved through skills alone but it has to be achieved at our company.

I understand. Liveliness brings hope to people.

For a design to be truly unique, it has to be full of liveliness.

The new design this time will be displayed at our new store.

It represents our style and character for our new store.

I don't have time for you to keep fixing your designs.

I will give you guys three days

to give me a new design to my liking.

If you think of yourselves as designers,

then please pay attention to every detail.

The goal of a true high class design is for someone to wear it and not to leave it hanging.

Do you know why the mannequins for Valentino had to be specifically designed?

It's to accentuate the highlights of the designer's works.

Victoria's Secret hired professional nutritionists for their models,

and a figure specialist who closely managed their sizes. Do you know why?

That is because she wants the models to be in their best state when they are wearing her designs.

That is called being professional.

None of these are what I wanted.

Director Bai. Director Bai.

Here is your water.

Speak.

Lulu is here to see you. She wants a custom design made.

- Did she make an appointment beforehand? - No.

When does her card expire?

In a month.

Xiao Ni.

Help me with this since she was your old customer.

Who is she talking about?

Lulu.

- Let's go. - Wait.

Sister Xiao Ni, I have to type up something for Director Bai. Can you go first and I'll come later?

Cui Cui,

after you became a permanent employee, did you become Director Bai's assistant, too?

No, Sister Xiao Ni. What are you saying?

Didn't your order go to Director Bai?

I just go over to help out with some stuff.

What's your sister busy with these days? I have some things to discuss with her.

She's busy being in love. She doesn't even have time for me.

Sister Xiao Ni, you know my sister worries about me.

Can you... not say... about me?

A teacher can get you in the door.

How well you do depends on yourself.

Sister Xiao Ni,

I want to tell you no matter where I am,

my heart is always on your side.

Did you know? Director Bai never drinks water.

Really?

Thank you, Sister Xiao Ni.

Non-fat milk. No sugar.

Sister Lu, long time no see.

Why is it you?

Where's Director Bai?

Director Bai has an important appointment with a customer today and isn't here.

If you need anything, just let me know.

Our spring/summer collection this time is very pretty. Let me show you.

Wait.

Come here.

I wanted to see you.

Your good friend, Gu Jia, broke her promise to me last time. What does she mean by that?

Really? When did this happen?

I might have been in a bad mood that day and said something wrong.

But she can't just do half my makeup and leave without saying anything.

That is really unprofessional.

Gu Jia is a very trustworthy person

and is very responsible. Maybe a misunderstanding happened between you two?

It's work. No matter how unhappy you are,

you can't just not resolve it with money?

Forget it. I don't want to pursue it anymore.

Why don't you talk to her and let her know that this award ceremony, I still want to work with her?

Okay. No problem. Let's go over here then.

I already said I don't want to go.

Why don't you want to go?

Don't you know that Lulu got nominated for Best Supporting Actress this time?

If you do her make-up to perfection, it will help greatly with your career!

Forget it. People in the business know

that a supporting actress that appeared only for 5 minutes got nominated for an award must have used the back door.

Everyone thinks it's a joke. I don't want to join in on that.

Why do you care how long she appears for?

You just need to put make-up on her,

then you have already won.

That Lulu person, don't we already know?

She's famous for being picky and hard to please.

Even if I do her make-up to be as pretty as a fairy, do you think she will appreciate it?

Right, she is that type of person. But she did say one thing correctly.

No matter what you're unhappy with, you cannot mind about money. Just think of it as work.

I really won't go. Besides, I'm busy.

Busy with what?

Oh my god. Did you switch to being a chef?

- All these things are needed to cook normally. Move over. - What? Cook normally?

What is it? What is it?

This pair of hands is for applying makeup, not for cooking.

Did Xu Jing have a talk with you?

No, I figured it out myself.

Tell me why we are working so hard?

Isn't it because we want to make a good living?

Before when I was in Xing Cheng doing this and that, being hard on myself,

what did I gain in the end?

What do you mean what did you gain? You gained the mortgage to this house!

You worked very hard for this.

My life now is pretty good, right?

I don't need anything else. I just want to be with someone I love.

Isn't that better than working your ass off and stressing yourself out?

Your immature reasoning comes from that guy of yours, right?

Xiao Ni, why are you so against Xu Jing? Why don't you like him?

I just don't like him because he changed you.

Because he imposed on you.

He may not care so much about his work ethics but he can't change you from having yours.

I'm telling you, the reason you are being so negative is because you don't know him yet.

You just need to get to know him than you wouldn't be so against him.

How about this? This weekend

we are going to a natural habitat. Come with us. Just take it as a vacation. What do you think?

I don't have the time to go on a vacation.

Director Bai has ordered us to redo our projects.

You may have skipped the last session, but we are about to have a big media conference. You must come then.

Of course I will if it's really important to you!

I really don't know what to do with you.

Okay, okay, okay... Why don't you stay here for lunch! Have a seat.

- Hello. - Hi, Miss Tian.

Is this CEO Su?

I'm glad you remember me.

Of course, I remember you.

Did you want something, CEO Su?

The last time I invited you out to dinner, it didn't go as planned.

Are you free tonight?

Tonight?

- Do you have other plans? - Um.

It's nothing too important.

Okay, I will see you tonight.

Okay, I will text you the address later.

Gu Jia, I can't eat lunch with you today. I have something to take care of.

Why? Who is more important than me?

Is there a new change?

Are you going with that Zhan Wang to have a candlelight dinner?

What Zhan Wang?

I'm meeting with a co-worker and also half my boss.

Who knows about you? You're always changing. As long as you know what you're doing.

Pay more attention to what's happening in your life. Stop worrying about others. Bye!

Xiao Ni, this is just a small token of my apologies to you.

CEO, you are too kind. You already invited me out to dinner and now a gift.

Also, there's really no need for an apology. It's not too serious.

Xiao Ni, don't refuse me just yet.

This is a very special gift. You will surely like it.

Open it.

Okay.

Wow! This is cotton fleece!

To tell you the truth, my undergraduate studies were also in graphic design.

Because I was too stupid, I couldn't become a clothes designer.

I obtained this piece of material when I was abroad several years ago.

Now, I have no use for it. But I think it will help you with your design.

CEO, did you know that I was looking for this piece of fabric all across the European market?

No matter how hard I looked, I couldn't find it.

Cotton fleece is the yellow-brownish color within the cotton.

It's just too valuable.

Only because it's like gold (priceless). Well, you must accept it.

Because you see it as gold,

I see it as just a piece of fabric.

What's the saying? When the right object falls into the right person's hands,

then and only then will it have its purpose.

Please accept it.

Ok! Thank you so much! I love this gift very much.

- I will accept it. - Glad you like it.

It's like this, I have a small favor to ask.

What is it?

I have some small stock shares at a race car company.

I want you to help design this year's racer uniform.

Racer uniform? The material is very important.

The design is not as important.

Maybe, I won't have much of a choice?

This year there will be a big media conference before the race.

The uniform that I want you to design is the one the racers will be wearing when they are in front of the media.

This sounds more interesting.

Because as I understand, racers

are sealed by their helmets and uniforms.

If a warrior is pushed into war and can remove their helmets,

it will display a different side of them.

That's a wonderful analogy! I am giving this job to you.

CEO, I know this is a great opportunity for me

and I am so honored, but I can't accept the job.

Miss Xiao Ni, do you have any problems

or do you have some concerns?

As you know, I work under Director Bai right now.

If I accept this big job behind her back, I don't think it's a good idea.

It's my fault. I made it more complicated.

You can just see this as a regular job,

whether or not you want to tell Director Bai; it's up to you.

Besides, the date of the race is getting closer.

I'm not able to find a more suitable designer than yourself.

Please consider this a favor to me.

If you don't answer then I will take it as a yes?
