[Scarlet Heart 2]

[Episode 11]

Good morning, Black Cat Detective.

The weather is nice.

Do you have any plans today?

Sorry, I've been busy.

See you on your birthday.

Lan Lan, are you here to pick me up from work?

Who said that?

I just happened to be in the area.

If you just happened to be here, then I'm lucky.

If you went out of your way, then I'm unlucky.

Why?

I heard from your agent that you charge by the second.

If you come pick me up every day,

I would be bankrupt soon.

I also heard that you're surrounded by ladies.

I need to get in line to invite you for dinner.

Not recently, business hasn't been good.

By the way, I want to switch hotels.

Why? You don't like it there?

I want to be closer to you.

I'll have Assistant Qiao make arrangements.

Come on, let's eat.

What do you want to eat?

I know a good Russian restaurant.

Whatever you like.

What's happening?

It's okay. Don't be afraid.

Elevator failure.

Yin Zheng, I'm scared.

You're going to be okay. Don't be scared.

Is anyone there?

Go ahead.

I'm Yin Zheng.

We're trapped in the elevator.

Send the engineers.

Okay, got it.

The elevator is experiencing failure.

We'll send someone immediately.

How long will it be?

Please wait, we're working on it now.

Hurry.

Okay.

Turn off the lights to see the fireworks.

I'll watch them with you.

No!

- Lan Lan. - Let me out.

- Let me out! - What's wrong? Don't be scared.

Don't touch me!

- They're sending someone now. - Don't touch me!

I'm Yin Zheng.

Let me out.

Please let me out.

I'm by your side.

Don't be scared.

Everything will be fine.

Let me out.

Everything will be fine.

I'll always be by your side.

I won't leave you.

I'll always be with you.

Look at me.

I'm Yin Zheng.

Everything will be fine.

Yin Zheng.

Yes.

Yin Zheng.

Why did you only come now?

Don't be scared.

I'll always be by your side.

I won't leave you.

I'll never leave.

Don't be afraid.

It's okay.

♫ Stars are always glittering in the sky ♫

♫ Waiting for the sun, only leaving after getting tired ♫

♫ I'm always in this gray area ♫

How embarrassing.

My claustrophobia was triggered.

Wasn't it scary?

Stop thinking about it.

You're beautiful no matter what.

Did you mean what you said in the elevator?

Or did you just say that to calm me down?

Which sentence are you referring to?

You will always be with me.

You'll never leave me.

Never ever.

Of course I meant it.

As long as you don't get sick of me.

Can you stay the night?

I'm scared that the nightmares will come to haunt me

once I fall asleep.

Okay, I'll stay with you.

I'll leave after you fall asleep.

♫ Time passes quickly, so love in the moment ♫

♫ Would rather be hurt than to feel empty ♫

♫ Everyone wants to be loved, looking for a future ♫

♫ Don't want to wander around in solitude ♫

♫ Light comes after dark♫

♫ Only then can I see the faint existence of you ♫

♫ I was just like the star that is far apart from you ♫

♫ White clouds always rely on the blue sky ♫

♫ My love exists for you ♫

♫ Even if you don't understand my feelings and waiting ♫

Lan Lan.

I want to ask you a question.

Why should I answer you?

Finish your task then leave.

I've seen your white magnolia earring.

What do you mean?

I seem to also have one of those earrings.

What can that explain?

I want to know about your earring.

What do you want to know?

I want to know if the two of us...

Miss Zhang, why are you always pestering me?

Are you delusional?

Do you think that you're me?

You want to replace me?

Don't get me wrong.

I never thought about that.

I just think that the two of us look alike,

and we have the same thing.

Maybe we...

We're not related.

I'll warn you one last time.

My father is a professor and my mother is an opera singer.

I was born in Australia.

I'm the only child.

What more do you want to know?

Sorry.

Forget I asked.

President Kang.

How is the investigation of the fire going?

They found that it was induced by the alcohol in our perfume warehouse.

There were no signs of human trail.

That's impossible.

I also think it's very strange.

This scoundrel has always liked playing dirty.

I didn't expect him to still be like that.

President Kang, who are you referring to?

A rival.

A rival who shouldn't have appeared in my life.

I didn't expect for him to become my lifetime opponent.

President Kang, I don't understand.

You don't need to understand.

He has nothing to do with you.

I'm his target.

How are the negotiations with the factories?

Not going very smoothly.

Two more breached their contracts.

With similar excuses as before.

Now we still have ninety orders who don't have a manufacturer.

We'll lose about three million if we don't meet the orders.

We have less than a month.

And we're losing another seven million from the two fires.

He wants to kill me.

President Kang.

You can all leave.

I want to be alone.

One more thing.

Say it.

[Resignation Letter]

Zhuo Yue.

Help me appease those who want to resign.

Tell them, I'll find a way to weather the storm.

Sorry, President Kang.

My letter is also among them.

You want to leave too?

I know it's bad timing.

But...

Don't say anymore.

Have you found a new job?

I'm asking as a friend.

Yes.

Zhen Tian.

Sihan, I'm sorry.

It's okay, I understand.

I'll get going then.

Wait.

Return the resignation letters to them.

Tell them I don't accept.

I understand that you are very angry now.

But what can you change?

I don't accept their resignation.

You're all leaving

because I fired you.

Because according to the labor laws,

you can all get additional compensation this way.

Sihan, why are you doing this?

The company doesn't have that much money to begin with.

You're pushing yourself towards a dead end.

This is my own business.

It has nothing to do with you.

The compensation treat as the memorial we work together

as a keepsake for our time working together.

Then I thank you on behalf of everyone.

Alright, we're friends.

Don't get so emotional.

Do your best at Zhen Tian.

Come visit me when you can.

Okay, just go.

I'll go then.

Go ahead.

Mom, please believe in your son.

Z&X will not end like this.

Dear, Happy Birthday.

You're good. How did you know it was my birthday?

Huang Di told me.

Huang Di? What a big mouth.

But really, thank you.

Huang Di is not a big mouth.

He has deep feelings for you.

He even said you and him were a perfect match.

And that you've lived together for many years.

Damn Huang Di.

His mouth is going to rot.

Remember.

Take everything he says as the opposite.

It seems like there's someone else.

Do you really have a boyfriend?

I really envy you.

Certainly he's better than Huang Di.

It's like when others switch houses.

Every time they switch, the greater the house.

Why can't my life be that good?

Alright.

You will certainly find your love within the Zhen Tian building.

I have to go, bye.

Jack, have you seen Zhang Xiao?

Zhang Xiao.

You look for Zhang Xiao every day.

What's your relationship?

You can't tell?

You seem like a couple,

but Zhang Xiao never looks at you in the eye.

Or you could just be colleagues,

but you live together.

I can't tell.

What do you mean she doesn't look me in the eye?

It's me who doesn't look her in the eye.

Our love can be written into a romance story.

A romance story?

I love romances.

Especially Tong Hua's.

Tell me your story.

You like Tong Hua right?

Our story is even more interesting than Qiong Yao's.

Back in the day...

- Waiter. - Hello.

I want curry chicken.

Okay, please wait.

Go on.

Back in the day,

we were both seventeen years old.

We were childhood sweethearts.

She loved me so much.

Why does it sound so familiar?

What happened next?

Time is relentless.

I grew up

and got more handsome.

And Zhang Xiao?

She doesn't have the figure nor the looks.

She's a Fortune Cat when she smiles and the Hulk when she's mad.

That's when we started becoming estranged.

Makes sense.

I wanted to have an amicable breakup

and just be friends,

but she wouldn't let me go.

She followed me wherever I went.

I couldn't escape her.

I finally understand why she's sometimes hot and sometimes cold.

So that's the story.

Yes.

I can't escape her.

Your relationship is messy.

You grew up?

Time is relentless?

The world is full of love?

You can't escape her?

Enough.

You'll kill him.

Let me stir it up for him.

Xiao Fan, food's ready.

Coming.

What's wrong?

I've never seen you so angry before.

This is the price for talking nonsense.

Maybe Huang Di is telling the truth.

Zhang Xiao's love life may not be as simple as you think.

So what?

I like Zhang Xiao, not her love life.

You keep saying you like her,

but I don't think that's love.

A tomboy like you has no right to speak.

Sure, I'm not a woman in your eyes.

But I must tell you.

A woman's heart can only live one man.

No one will take notice of a silly little crush.

Do I seem like I lack a place to live?

If you don't, then why are you spending all your time in this dark kitchen?

If you don't want to be here, then leave.

No one is forcing you to be here.

Step aside.

Hi, all your dishes have been served.

- Please enjoy. - Thank you.

You're welcome.

♫ Even if my smile returns ♫

♫ I'm still left with loneliness ♫

♫ Happiness is always one step away from being lonely ♫

♫ Reality is always cruel ♫

♫ The fire has become a weak spark ♫

♫ Floating in the mirage ♫

Hi, does your meal need heating up?

Yes, thank you.

Please wait a moment.

♫ If we suffer on this road together ♫

♫ At least I can embrace your warmth ♫

♫ Even if it means being exiled ♫

♫ Even if we're one step away from happiness ♫

♫ I don't care how much suffering I go through ♫

♫ I'm satisfied with our journey ♫

♫ At least you have my blessing ♫

Black Cat Detective, are you really out there catching thieves?

The dishes have been warmed up twice.

Get here immediately.

If I don't blow the candles by midnight,

I'll have an unlucky year.

♫ Floating in the mirage ♫

♫ Our footsteps eventually reached the road of no return ♫

♫ We eventually lost our way ♫

Uncle Liu, I'm Sihan.

♫ At least I can embrace your warmth ♫

♫ Even if it means being exiled ♫

♫ Even if we're one step away from happiness ♫

♫ I don't care how much suffering I go through ♫

Uncle Liu, you cared about me the most growing up.

The first person I think of is you whenever I encounter any problems.

I know it may be inappropriate to ask for this.

But I really don't want to see my company and brand end like this.

How much do you want to borrow?

Twenty million will help me get through this.

Sihan.

I value you the most amongst the chairman's three sons.

But you're also the one that upsets me the most.

You have a very large platform at Zhen Tian Group.

The place that can let you succeed is in front of you.

But you don't want it

and insist on starting from nothing.

Why do that to yourself?

Uncle Liu.

Zhen Tian Group has nothing to do with me.

Why are you saying that?

That's your family.

When I went to Europe visit you,

I told you your dad really wishes for you to help him after you graduate.

You were young at the time so I could understand.

But you're 30 now.

You can't be childish.

Whether it's the past or now,

my attitude hasn't changed.

I spent twenty years abroad.

I'm used to not having a dad.

And now I also don't want to share his glory.

I transfer my business back here because I promised my mom.

I told her I'd show her a successful business.

Kang Zhentian owes her too many things.

I want to help her get back her honor.

Sihan.

Uncle Liu, I'm here to borrow money,

not here for you to intercede.

Just let me know whether or not you'll help.

Money is not the problem.

I have it.

But since your company is Zhen Tian Group's Yue-Sai's competitor,

and I'm one of Zhen Tian Group's directors,

I'm afraid I can't lend you the money now.

Okay, I understand.

Uncle Liu, I've always admired your morals.

And I still do.

Then...

I'll get going then.

Carry on.

Come out.

The show is over.

Donghai, your acting skills are improving a lot.

I have no choice.

You asked me to do this.

It's so embarrassing.

But you have a good eye.

He has the backbone and courage.

It's not enough to just have courage.

It's just destructive aggression.

It becomes useless after experiencing failure.

It's not easy.

But you also shouldn't make it so difficult for him.

It's because he still has lots to learn.

Alright, let's not talk about him anymore.

We haven't finished our chess game.

Every move is risky.

The odds are against me.

Seek wealth through risk.

We won't know who will win

until the last moment.

Okay, thanks for the advice.

Come on.

Checkmate.

Amazing, I won three rounds in a row.

Second Uncle, is something on your mind?

I usually lose to you.

There's nothing on my mind.

I'm just thinking.

If you use your skills in chess in business,

you'll have a great future.

Business partially relies on luck.

Chess is also the same.

As the ancients said, man is an integral part of nature.

Business is the same.

Not only do you need God, but you also need to rely on other people.

Kang Sihan's soon to open stores caught fire recently.

Do you think that was God or man?

His stores were burnt down?

You didn't know, Second Uncle?

I didn't hear.

It happened recently.

It's getting late.

I was so preoccupied in the game I forgot the time.

Have an early night, I'll head home now.

Okay.

Drive carefully.

Don't worry. Goodnight.

No need to see me out.

Boss.

Does he know we did it?

You didn't leave any traces.

How would he know?

But he was dropping hints.

He was probing.

That's your guilty conscience.

Boss, we could've just sat back and watched the fight.

Why intervene?

I want to add some seasoning to the feast.

So it's more interesting.

Think about it. The stores were burned down.

The first person Kang Sihan suspects is Yin Zheng.

And the first person Yin Zheng suspects is Kang Zhentian.

How interesting.

I want to see what they work up.

Liven up the show.

Black Cat Detective.

What happened?

The store caught fire.

How did that happen?

Does your boss know about it?

Yes.

He's really upset.

I was also pretty upset today.

Because someone promised to spend my birthday with me,

but he still didn't show up after I waited for two hours.

But after I came here,

I realized someone is more upset than me.

ZX.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

It's not midnight yet, there's still time.

Let's light the candles, cut the cake, and make a wish.

I don't want to have bad luck for the year.

Okay, let's forget all the troubles.

Come on.

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday to Xiaoxiao ♪

I was out of tune just now.

I hope you didn't mind.

Not at all.

What did you wish for?

It won't come true if I tell you.

I can figure it out even if you don't tell me.

Take a guess then.

Your wish must be to not spend your next birthday

in this wasteland.

You just reminded me.

I can't believe I'm having such a special 25th birthday.

On your 26th birthday,

I'll make it up to you.

No need for that.

What should we do after we eat the cake?

I haven't thought about it.

I have an idea.

Black Cat Detective.

You're selling such expensive perfume on the streets.

You'll have to pay your boss back.

Z&X must make its first sale today.

It's not midnight yet.

Actually,

for my birthday wish,

I wished that Z&X's stores can reopen soon.

Thank you.

Let's go crazy today.

Let's sell all the perfume.

Come take a look.

Z&X, a brand from England.

♫ There's no solution to stuttering ♫

♫ I get silly when we meet face to face ♫

♫ Your beauty is a kind of punishment to me ♫

♫ You're still stuttering like a little fool ♫

♫ Stabbed in the heart, I curse at myself ♫

♫ There's no solution to stuttering ♫

♫ I get silly when we meet face to face ♫

♫ Give me another chance to overcome this awkwardness ♫

Aunt, goodbye.

Let's count the fruits of our labor.

Okay.

¥18,050,000.

¥18,050,000.

Not bad.

Let's celebrate.

Okay.

I see you really like this drink.

Grain.

Thanks for your Grain.

I have a feeling.

You seem to be very attached to Z&X.

Like its your baby.

Your boss should be very happy to have an employee like you.

It's rare for someone to treat an office as home and treat their boss as a friend.

One day you will also be like me.

Maybe.

Sihan.

Zhuo Yue, I've prepared the severance compensation.

Come get it when you're free.

Okay.

Are you Miss Qiao Qi?

I'm Zhuo Yue.

Are you free?

Yes, I want to meet with you.

Those who let themselves be guided by the current course of events are real heroes.

It seems that Mr. Zhuo finally figured it out.

Yes, I figured it out.

Good.

We welcome you to Zhen Tian Group.

Mr. Zhuo, this...

The car and money is important,

but for me, friends are most important.

That's all I figured out the past few days.

Mr. Zhuo, why are you doing this to yourself?

Director Yin has spoken to me.

If you're not satisfied with the salary, we can continue to discuss.

No need.

Could you please tell Director Yin.

Say I let him down.

Sorry.

Mr. Zhuo.

President Kang.

Zhuo Yue.

I went to the office just now and they said you were here.

Is there anything I can help with?

Zhuo Yue.

I've prepared the severance compensation.

I'll grab it from my bag now.

President Kang, I'm not leaving anymore.

I also called those who wanted to leave on my way here.

I told them no one is allowed to leave as long as I'm still around.

Zhuo Yue, what do you mean?

We share both honor and disgrace.

That's what we vowed when we started Z&X.

I can't believe I'm the first to break the vow.

I have the responsibility to do this.

Zhuo Yue.

I appreciate your kindness.

But now Z&X is having internal turmoil and external threat.

We can't find a factory to process the orders.

We also lost a lot of money from the store.

To be honest,

I don't want you to wait until the day I suffer a complete loss to leave.

Sihan, that day won't come.

Even if it does, I'll be right there with you.

I rushed here to tell you some good news.

What good news?

We met with Mr. Jiang, the chairman of Hua Yang Group, in London.

Do you remember him?

Yes, I remember.

He always admired you.

He called me on my way here

and said he wanted to invest in us.

He wants you to meet him at his office at 10am.

Zhuo Yue, are you for real?

Yes, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Believe in yourself.

Where is his office?

CBD.

Okay, let's go.

- Let's go. - Okay.

Is this even skin care?

This is disfigurement.

Our products all pass through quality control.

Quality control?

Ask your boss to come out.

Hi, sir.

I'm the boss.

You're the boss?

Use your words.

Zhuo Yue.

Sorry.

What's going on?

President Kang, I'm not sure.

I gave this lady the samples we got delivered this morning.

It was fine when she put it on,

but that's what it looks like after two to three minutes.

See for yourself.

Give me a cotton swab.

Can I see your sample?

Give it to him.

Here.

Zhuo Yue, send this for testing.

Wait.

How are you going to compensate us?

If my girlfriend's face can't recover,

I'll make sure you suffer.

Sir, Miss.

If it's really a problem with our product's quality,

we'll be sure to give you a satisfactory answer.

Okay, I'll wait.

Okay, I'm really sorry.

Director Yin.

Director Yin.

Chairman.

Come in.

I want to hear how your progress is.

What are you referring to?

You should know what I'm referring to.

If everything goes as planned,

Z&X will disappear in a month.

Not bad.

Chairman.

When I looked into Z&X's background,

I found something interesting.

You mean Kang Sihan?

Did you know?

If I knew Kang Sihan was Z&X's founder,

what difference does it make?

I don't know if it makes a difference.

I only know that if this spreads,

I'll get accused for not getting along with my brother.

You're so thoughtful.

I heard you put a lot of effort into destroying Z&X.

It shows you don't really care what the public thinks of you.

Am I right?

Don't overthink it.

Some words of advice.

As leader of a large company,

your heart should be with the company.

Every decision is for the interest of the company.

Everything else is secondary.

I'll keep that in mind.

Okay, get on with your work.

[Scheme]
