Episode 17
You
probably don't need to be introduced to him, right?
Hello, I'm Lin Xiao Jie.
In this time you'll need to stay in England by yourself.
No problem There's no need for you here anyway.
Hello.
Director Tang wants to see you.
Let's go.
I'll accompany you.
Director, Tang Jun's here
Ok, thanks. You can go busy yourself.
Sit.
Do you know why I called you here?
The new Project Manager just arrived and you sent for me right away.
this must be related.
You're clever
Let's not mix business with personal stuff
because of Lin Xiao jie you rushed to England and caused mom's illness. I can let that go.
But this time, I didn't call Lin Xiao Jie back to Huang Hai
for you to fall in love with her
I wish to see her help Huang Hai get to next level
Hope you can control yourself.
Xiao Jie has already told me
She thinks of you as a friend, colleague
I trust her taste
She even looks down on Gao Zi Qi
How can she look up to an incompetent prince like you?
So I trust that Lin Xiao Jie won't cause any trouble
Mainly you
So from today
I hope you treat work seriously
I don't want to hear anyone say you're a infactuated idiot
or that you've become a laughing stock
humiliating the family
don't worry, the embarrassing family member
definitely won't be me
Tang Jun
What did Director Tang want with you?
Nothing much, fussing about
No matter what
I'll be by your side
For you, I'm willing to do anything
Thank you
Hey
Let's have a simple meeting
about the anniversary planning business case
We completed the plan according to Manager Tang's ideas.
I'll make a copy for you shortly.
How about the gifts from the credit card company collaboration
Is it finished?
We contacted all participating vendors.
Here's all the gift details. Thank you
How about product department vendors?
All been contacted... and we've inquired about discounts and returns.
Thank you
Miss
I want this one
And this one
Anything else?
And this one
I want 12 of these, thank you
Did you see Lin Xiao Jie's expression?
So helpless
Her type of new girl
We need to play it rough with her otherwise how will she know our power?
Exactly
We've been in this department so long our planning has never had these flaws
What right does she have to be so picky with us
Suddenly, a new manager has been appointed to our team.
But, you are not afraid
she is mainly here to fire workers?
She doesn't even understand our ability
What right does she have to cut us?
What is there to worry about? As long as we do well She has no reason to fire us
Yeah
Have you guys heard of an occupation,
called \"employee killer \" ?
Which is to say, when a company needs to lay off employees,
they will appoint someone to that company,
and fire all the employees who need to go.
No sympathy at all.
At that point, they can completely withdraw. They leave once they're paid. So I think...
Lin Xiao Jie has a possibility
to be the \" employee killer\" .
She's previously left Gao Zi Qi,
and has now followed Tang Jun's footsteps into our Imperial Sea.
This woman makes people feel contempt.
One type of people uses relationships as a shortcut.
Choosing lovers is like choosing rocks.
You always pick the larger one,
but there will always be the one greater, larger, than what you have.
It's like shopping. Next season's clothes will forever be better looking than this season's.
I hope you will do as you say.
Being swayed by emotions is worse than lacking in ability.
Just be careful
Tomorrow I will hold a meeting with everyone regarding anniversary plans.
I've seen your plans. It is still unsatisfactory.
Manager Lin
This plan has been decided by Chief Tang-
I don't care who has approved of it. But since I have taken charge,
I hope that everyone will follow my opinions.
If anyone has any thoughts, say them in tomorrow's meeting
I hope I can hear everyone's different opinions
Well done
Who does she think she is?
Ok, ok
We'll just redo it.
Get to work
Fox.
Who does she think she is?
Zheng Fan!
If you have thoughts against her, don't bring them up to the surface
And so loud as well? What if she hears you?
You're right
Worth being a mother.
I can't stand her haughty manner.
What right does she have?
Su Su, do you think
Do we really have to listen to her and change our proposal?
I won't change it
This business case is safest
No matter if we have a new manager
or a new director
there are always new rules and measures.
They want to perform.
If her performance is good, then we're ok.
If she doesn't perform well the lost ones it's us.
I'm not changing it
I'm not changing it either. See what she does
What's wrong?
This company's relations are becoming more and more complicated.
Everyday there's new people devising new plots
to torture those of us who work under them.
Be careful
Have a drink.
Thanks Leader.
Actually, every office
has their politics.
So if you want to survive in the workplace, you need not only ability,
but also some background and some chances.
Don't be nervous. Take your time.
Leader, I don't understand what you're saying
Nothing
With me here, there'll be someone to help you
Thank you, Leader
You're welcome
Boss
Here's your coffee
Chicken essence and vitamins
Boss You've worked all day
Do you need to go rest for a bit?
If you're tired You can go home first
I didn't mean it like that
But if that's your meaning
Then I'll follow your meaning
Boss
I know you only have work in your heart right now
But with no rest
Your liver will burst
After I've finished looking at this I'll go rest
Boss Your original work load was enough
Now you've become director of marketing
and there's so much for you to take care of
it's too much
You won't even finish by tomorrow
Ok, don't keep going on
After I've finished reading this I'll go rest
Ok, thank you Boss
Remember to eat all this up
I'll leave now
Thank you Boss
Wait a second
I've worked here for more than 3 years
I've never met such a rude person as you
Such an impolite jerk
Not picking up things after you knocked them down
Pile them up!
How are you this stupid?
Didn't I already tell you?
You have to start piling in this shape
And then work your way in can by can
That's right
Not bad, piling them up well you have a talent
At the end, you'll realise
the beer's quantity is the same
if there's one more or one less, the pile will become strange
I've always thought with you here
I can do anything
Of course, have you forgotten?
I've piled beers for three years
This beer-piling method
is what I made up myself
You're in England right now
You should be doing well, right?
I've read all your proposals
I've also read up on successful anniversary projects from other countries over the past few years.
I can only say your plan is very...
original, and daring.
But I have a question.
For such a large scale shopping festival plan,
with our current employees and remaining preparation time,
does everyone really think it is possible?
I have an objection.
I've said already.
Chief Tang's proposal
is not feasible.
During a meeting We're concerned with facts and not individuals.
Manager, Huang Hai's anniversary celebration the last years has been a mere formality.
That's why Leader proposed this gutty idea.
I believe everyone can believe me.
In Shanghai's shopping mall industry, there are many companies who wish to work with us.
On this point,
I have a lot of faith.
He's right, manager.
Even though the new plan has definite risk,
but if we keep on reusing old plans, I don't think there will be any innovation.
Right. I believe the shopping festival will bring profits
that the anniversary has no hope of attaining.
Right.
I understand everybody's opinions.
I know
that in Hong Kong, and overseas, there have been successful models of shopping festivals.
But if Imperial Sea follows the models from other places,
haven't you ever thought that these festival ideas
will not be well adapted to the environment at Imperial Sea?
Zheng Fan.
May I ask how you calculated the budget estimates on this proposal?
It is from the performance of past festivals overseas and evaluation of past Imperial Sea data.
This year Imperial Sea Golden Age has organized the WIP Night.
May I ask if you have included the buying habits of WIP customers into your calculations?
Su Su.
For the gift program for buying certain amounts of products,
you've listed microwave oven, massage chair, and bicycle,
which are all out-of-season merchandise from the last two years.
Do you really think that by releasing this type of gift program, the customers will want them?
Are we organizing an anniversary event,
or a stock clearance event?
Each shopping center will have their own stock items.
If each shopping center
uses its stock items to organize a shopping clearance festival,
then I ask of everyone,
why will customers come to Imperial Sea?
I have been a low level employee,
I know sticking to a working routine is the safest method.
But if we only copy and paste on the computer,
to write a good proposal...
So I'm requesting everyone to go back and rewrite their proposals.
If you want to only copy successful overseas models,
then where is the large-scale shopping case?
It's just a superficial job.
I think my workplace is the Imperial Sea marketing department,
not the Imperial Sea elementary school where everybody can just copy.
What?!
How can you say it like that?
How can you say that?
I think what you've said was too extreme.
This proposal is what everybody's spent time working on.
I admit there are some holes
But you could raise these, and we can fix them.
What you're doing is denying everybody's hard work.
Manager. The data is dead. They cannot explain everything.
You cannot deny all our hard work based on a few data analyses.
Yeah, no matter what, this is a product of all our labor.
I think you're clearly here to just fire employees.
No matter what kind of proposal we write,
you will find something at fault inside.
Though I don't know how much effort everybody has put into this,
but it probably wasn't much time!
If there were a little effort,
I wouldn't have to find flaws on this proposal.
As Chief, an imperfect proposal was due to my oversight.
Manager Lin.
I will fix this well.
Thanks for everyone's advice
Director Tang
I think we have some problems in communication.
Please come out with me for a bit
Are they arguing?
i didn't listen.
I didn't think Director Tang would stand up for us so much
New rules and measures.
Manager Lin,
I'm afraid she'll burn the forest.
luckily, director tang is on our side.
We'll join hands to go against that arrogant Lin.
right. i say . . .
Wow, you're all so serious
You scared me!
You scared us all
We thought Manager Lin came back
Aren't you holding a meeting?
Where's Manager Lin?
Manager Lin and Tang Jun went out
They said there are some thoughts they should communicate.
How do you tacitly consent to their project?
My mom has fainted, and my sister has temporarily taken on the CEO position.
Now all the board members are waiting to see my family become a joke!
The marketing team believes this to be a critical period,
and produced the safest plan. What of it?
Then do you think Director Tang wishes for you to stick to old ideas,
and show no progress?
This is what we've completed by uniting all our efforts.
I don't think there any problems.
i think that you and your colleagues only say big words.
i can't see any working ability.
you think this is an attitude the company needs?
Are you still Lin Xiao Jie?
Why did you suddenly come by?
i just brought a leaflet.
we arrange a welcome party tonightfor manager lin xiao jie.
That arrogant Lin just stabbed
the project we painstakinly were working on.
I don't wish to welcome her.
i don't want to. looking at her i lose my apettite.
Please, who wants to eat dinner with her?
Right
Ok, don't be like this
Before, working with her for WIP
I don't think she's difficult to get along with
Maybe you guys don't know her well enough
This welcome party can help you with that
Maybe all problems will be solved after
So you all agree?
I'll go tell Manager Lin and Tang Jun!
Tonight, everyone has to come!
Otherwise
I'll tell Tang Jun you guys don't want to work with Manager Lin! bye bye
So what?
How did you suddenly become someone who concerns about matters and not individuals?
What's wrong with you?
What have you heard?
Nothing I was always like that.
So you guys are here
what are you arguing about? so intense.
What is it?
I was thinking since Manager Lin's new We should have a welcome party for her
I don't think this is quite appropriate
What's not appropriate about it?
Everyone having dinner, talking Maybe all work's problems will be solved
What is it Tang Jun? What is that face?
You scared manager Lin.
Ok it's settled Let's all eat dinner tonight
i need some time to give new directions to the project.
But the materials aren't alive, they won't run away
in order to work with colleaguesdon't you need to understand them first?
Ok, it's settled see you tonight
Tang Jun, I'll go first
Aren't you holding a meeting?
Director
i came to lay off people.
there's no need for social contacts.
It looks like I've overestimated you
I thought you psychologically prepared so you took this job
I've told you before
People who are incapable letting feelings get in the way let me scorn at them
Besides in this industry, there are no friends, just enemies
I've organized this battle for you especially
I hope you can face it
You understand my meaning?
If I were you
I would not avoid the problem
I would face it head on
If you face it bravely, only can you solve it, right?
People who avoid the problem, are not for me
What's the question? Ask away
Quickly ask
Are there any questions?
I'll be the first to ask then
Do you have a boyfriend?
Say it, answer
Answer. We won't tell anyone
Yes
Who who who?
Someone in the company?
No comment One question only
next person
Fortune knocka at least once at every man's gate.
my turn to ask.
Do you have someone you love?
I don't have a lover right now
That bastard, leaving me was OK
but he also took all my deposits
used my cards
and turned me into someone who owes thousands of rmb.
Su Su, how's your son?
My son has good times and bad times
After I've saved enough money
I'll take my son to America for surgery
Next turn
We've finally arrived at Manager
Any questions?
What?
No worries, ask away
Apart from planning the shopping center's anniversary do you have any other tasks?
Why did you suddenly come to Huang Hai?
Have you broken up with Gao Zi Chi?
Who's your current boyfriend?
I thought you could only ask one question?
I'll help everyone take care of this
Manager
Every since the WIP event I've been so curious
What's your relationship with Director Tang?
Did you come to Huang Hai because of him?
Me and Director Tang
Ok ok
I don't think this question is good
Let's choose another one
Manager,
Did Director Tang Min give you a special secret task?
Yes
What secret task?
What task?
Secret
Means nothing!
Answer
Just answer
We won't tell anyone else!
I'm a virgin.
I cant find a girlfriend
Director Tang
your turn
Manager, I want to ask you a simple question
Honestly, why did you want to make things difficult with our proposals?
Yeah
Because
I have a secret task
I need to fire you
But I don't want to fire you all
but if you give me old things
how can I persuade Director Tang to change her mind, right?
You.
Although you can gather data
but you can't adjust them.
You.
your character is very strong.
You don't match the style of a shopping mall.
Su Su, I'm telling you.
your cheap mentality
can't reflect on your work.
No VIPs want to take part in some kind of...
after the sales auction
you . . .
virgin, the problem is huge. that's you.
A project is team work.
But you gather data alone
and can't think of an idea.
How can you have a good case like this?
Everyone here has flaws
If you don't change yourself
It's really hard for me to not let Director Tang Min fire you guys
But don't worry guys
Actually
You're all OK
one person is a bit dangerous.
Tang Jun
Are you not happy today? Why aren't you speaking?
If Director Tang takes the initiative again to make excuses
i think the first director will fire
is you.
Thanks for your concern
I want to know your return to Huang Hai
Was it because of me?
No
It was because of Gao Zi Qi
Bye
I didn't think Manager's tolerance to alcohol was that low
Yeah
I didn't think Manager was a person who can't let go of herself
Not fun at all
we got to know today.
Although it's not liking
it's not hate either.
Where's the Manager? Manager!
Manager!
Where is she?
She's already gone home
Ok, ok
We should go home too We have to work tomorrow
Oh yeah
I live at Hongkou area.
Don't know if anyone lives my way, I'll take her home
Yeah yeah
Leader's such a good person
But we don't live that way
Su Li, don't you live in the same area as Leader?
You can go home together
Yeah, together
I could take you home?
It'll be cheaper
Okay, let's go
So we'll leave first
Bye
Bye bye
Tang Jun, what's wrong?
Are you still worried about the firing situation?
Or are you thinking about Lin Xiao Jie's answer just now?
I think you've changed a lot
after returning to Shanghai
After coming back there's too many problematic situations
Feels annoying
Why don't we take a walk this way?
No need
It's late you should go rest
Ok, if you're unhappy
Give me a call
Bye bye
Why are you here?
Mr Tom
Get up
I'll take you home
What are you doing?
I'm making a birthday cake
Is it someone's birthday?
Yeah, mine
Tomorrow, a new Lin Xiao Jie will appear
In this time you'll have to live in England alone
No worries You're not needed here anyway
Lin Xiao Jie has already told me
She thinks of you as a friend
Tang Jun hello, I'm Lin Xiao Jie
If I had put some heart into this
I wouldn't have found a problem in my proposals
if director tang takes the initiative again to make excuses
I think Director Tang Min would fire Tang Jun first
I want to know did you come to Huang Hai because of me?
I came because of Gao Zi Qi
Why were you so slow?
There was a girl who was drunk and got into a car accident
What? Is it serious?
Yes, don't know if she'll make it
