Love by Design (必勝練習生)

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Designers of Love Team @ Viki

My name is Shu Fen Lee, the number one market name*, Shu Fen. (* most common name)

At 34 years old, I'm what everyone calls "age reversal leftover woman."

I'm not afraid of hardships and fatigue and had enough of the small pleasures in life.

I want a victorious life I can claim as my own.

Love By Design ~ Episode 1 ~

Oh, my goodness. I'm only 34 years old and I'm already using an anti-sensitive toothpaste, right?

That's not right. This can't be some sort of ominous sign, right?

Sorry, wait a moment.

Mr. Driver, is it possible for you to give me change?

We don't give change on the bus. Please drop your money in.

Good thing that I brought an umbrella.

Where's my umbrella?

It can't be...

What are you doing?

You're so close. That was very dangerous.

It hurts so much !

Good morning, Director.

Director, the boss is looking for you.

What? I'm laid off?

If the company didn't have any financial problems,

how could I have made this decision?

Boss, I worked here for 14 years. I get the full attendance award every year.

No matter if it's menstrual leave, paternity leave, personal leave, sick leave, funeral leave and marriage leave,

I have never once taken a leave.

And...I have never dated. Why would it be me?

Right, but, Director Lee, you need to know.

This new era is different. The performance evaluation is also different.

You... are single and look very young.

You can easily find a job or marry someone.

But, it would be different if it's someone else.

Boss, what kind of reason is that?

Okay, fine. Fine.

Let's leave on good terms.

But in order to show solicitude for the 10 or so years you given and sacrificed for the company,

I've decided to organize a farewell party tonight for you.

Everyone.

Forever remain youthful. Be happy everyday.

Live in the moment.

That's right. We're not leaving until drunk.

Boss.

Listen to me. I know that you're called Xian Shi* Zheng , (* first name meaning realistic)

but I know that you're an exception. You aren't realistic at all. Isn't that right?

Boss.

You have to save Shu Fen Lee.

You said that the male employees can't be laid off, right? It's because they need to support the family.

But I, Shu Fen Lee, am also the breadwinner of the family. Do you know?

If you fire me, my whole family and I will have nothing to eat and end up on the streets.

No, no. Boss, you can't do that.

Pay attention. Everyone, pay attention.

Finally, there's going to be a young and beautiful lady to join our company after 14 years.

She is a young beauty who just turned 20 year old this year.

Let's all give her a round of applause to welcome her.

Hello, everybody. I'm your new colleague. My name is Hui Mei.

You can just call me Mei Mei.

Mei Mei! That's great!

Shu Mei.

No. No. I'm Shu Fen.

Shu Fen, whatever. Why are you still here?

Boss, I'm not done... Boss.

You can't fire me. - Mei Mei.

Eagle, they are all so bad.

That year when I first entered the company,

I was also a beautiful flower, okay?

Even though I'm not fresh now,

I still count as a cute plastic flower, right?

Plastic flower.

Hey, plastic flower, do you hear?

Do you hear me? Plastic flower!

Right,

even if I work harder, working so hard.

I'm still just an old lady wearing your mask.

Hey, this lady. This lady, are you okay?

Do you need help?

What do you think? Are you so amazing just because you're young?

An old person should just die, right?

Run away. Everyone is running away.

They don't care about me.

Why do older people have to be so unlucky?

Not fair!

Hurry. Hurry. I'm going to be late. I'm going to be...

I almost forgot. Starting from today,

I don't have to rush to work.

What's this?

Job skills are belly dancing, sticking out butt and

not suffering.

It's so nice to be young. You can do anything.

And your leg is so long and pretty.

Aiya!

CEO, The Style is already a famous brand among the Chinese,

but financial expert said the reason that The Style is not able to quickly expand

around the world like European brands

is because The Style has high material cost and cannot lower down its price. May I ask...

If you had a nine year old child,

he didn't have time to study.

He has to work at the factory everyday.

He gets payed USD$ 2 every day.

Are you willing?

Everything in this world has a price.

Recently, many of the top European models are spokesman for fast fashion brands,

May I ask what the CEO's point of view is?

Also, in the future, would The Style find a top model as a spokesman?

To me, top models only live in a photoshop world.

They are more suitable to be spokesman for computers instead.

You're probably busy at work everyday.

but rumors said that you didn't even hire a secretary, or a chauffeur...then...

My principle in leading The Style is relating to the general masses.

If I have a chauffeur for going and getting off work,

and I have a secretary take care of everything,

then I would loose the chance of experiencing everything in my everyday life.

But,

I am seriously considering to hire a secretary

to help me get rid of

the reporters that don't care about the little things in life and don't have any depth.

I apologize if I have offended you.

That's right. Please don't publish today's interview.

We will pay for the original page and advertise for charity instead.

Hello, The Style.

You're looking for Zhong* Ji Song? (* this character can be pronounced as Zhong or Chong.)

No. There's no one named that here...

Are you new here? You don't know me, do you?

Hello. How are you? I'm the legendary, attracting thousands of girls, rescuing the fashion world,

handsome, tall and powerful

Chong... Ji... Song.

You can also call me Song, Chong Ji.

What? We don't need to change the location of our brand counters anymore, do we?

You're the best. Wait a moment.

Older Bro Zhu Ren.

What?

How can you forget to take such an important accessory?

On the table...I see it. Hurry and send me a picture.

Pearl, pearl?

Oh, god. So many pearls. Which one?

There's too much stuff. How to find it?

There are even more here.

Chairman Hsu and CEO, this way please.

Chairman Gu, Chairman Hsu, CEO. - Chairman Hsu, long time no see. - Long time no see.

Hello, Vice President. - CEO, long time no see.

Hope you guys will have a successful event.

Thank you for attending. Please come this way.

Chairman Hsu and CEO, these VIP seats are specially reserved by me for you.

Our company is hosting this event. Do you even need to specially reserve them?

Where is Ji Ji Song? - Your call is now transferred to voice...

It's not that, usually he hates when people don't pick up their phone and now he's the one who's not picking up.

What is he doing? - What do we do?

Everybody! The hero is here!

Excuse me, let me through. Iron man that saves the world is here. Move.

Move! Move!

What is he doing not picking up his phone?

Where did he go? - The hero is here!

Excuse me. Excuse me. - Hurry. Hurry.

That's not right. Why are you wearing this? Do you really think you were Joong Ki Song*? (* Famous Korean actor)

I just told you to bring a necklace. Did you run to the factory in Vietnam to get it? How come it took you so long?

Don't you understand fashion? This is the most popular in Korea.

Big Bro, I told you to get one necklace, but you brought the entire box!

That''s what I'm saying. Do you not know how to pick a random one?

You guys should get it straight. I am a purchaser. A purchaser.

This doesn't even concern me!

I found it!

Hurry and pick them up!

That pearl is the most important!

Let me!

Let me, let me!

Yeah, I got it!

Come back. Come back.

What are you guys doing ?

What is going on ?

Hurry! Hurry! Come back!

Michael*! (* Refer he thinks himself as Michael Jackson)

Why are you imitating Michael on the stage?

Where's the pearl? Quickly!

What's with the moon walk?

This show is very special and

very creative. Congratulations. Congratulations. Congratulations.

Thank you, Vice President.

Ms. Lee, your experience is pretty good. Graduated with fashion design

and you've received the Excellent Staffer Award.

That's right. I stayed at my previous fabric company for 14 years.

So I can tell if a piece of fabric is good or bad from one glance.

14 years? - Correct.

Ms. Lee, please leave.

What? But boss, didn't you just say...

You what? I'm sorry but I'm not used to hiring someone who's older than me.
