[Scarlet Heart 2]

[Episode 12]

What are you doing?

Who told you to take away the furniture?

Boss asked us to disassemble.

Sihan, you called the moving company?

Yes, what's the matter?

Z&X isn't bankrupt yet.

Why are you doing this?

Mr. Jiang just called.

He said he's withdrawing his investment.

Sihan.

No need to comfort me.

The results came back saying it was our problem.

We can't blame anyone.

This is not your fault.

All the samples delivered to us that morning were all problematic.

But the stock we have had no problems.

What does that prove?

Someone is messing with us.

This is not your fault.

Don't blame yourself.

Results are everything in business.

Nobody will listen to your excuses.

Why aren't you answering?

They're all from reporters.

Why answer?

I'm the person in charge of Z&X.

You can speak to me.

What did you say?

A cosmetic company called Jiao Yue

is willing to invest two hundred million dollars in our company.

These are Z&X's financial statements for its business in England.

Please have a look.

I don't need this.

Before deciding to invest in your company,

we already carried out a thorough investigation.

This contract was prepared based on the conditions we have agreed to.

If Mr. Kang has no other objection,

please sign the contract.

I would like to clarify something before signing.

Please.

Z&X is rapidly expanding locally.

But there are many competitors in the market.

In just this month alone,

we fought in close quarters with a strong opponent.

We've put up a bad show.

Because of this

we're forced to offer up the brand of Z&X.

And you're telling me this because?

Honestly, I can't guarantee

whether we or not we can defeat the strong opponent after we cooperate.

So I hope before you sign the contract

you will take into consideration the risks.

Mr. Kang is truly honest.

Aren't you worried about affecting our cooperation?

I'm very appreciative of your confidence in us.

I think it's important

to be honest with our business partners.

I'm just Jiao Yue's negotiator.

Management makes the decisions.

I believe they will take all into consideration.

Our chairman will be present today as well.

If you have any doubts,

you can ask him before signing the contract.

- Happy to work with you. - Happy to work with you.

Chairman.

Sorry, I was stuck in traffic.

It's a pity I couldn't witness the historical moment

in which our companies become one family.

Don't get it wrong.

Z&X is acquired by Jiao Yue, not Zhen Tian.

You didn't tell Mr. Kang?

Mr. Kang, I forgot to tell you.

Jiao Yue is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zhen Tian Group.

You may leave now.

Okay.

If Siyu and Donghai didn't inform me,

I wouldn't even had known you were back in Beijing.

Sihan, all these years,

and you still can't forgive me?

You'd rather ask Donghai for help instead of me?

Do you still think of me as your father?

Then do you still think of me as your son?

You sent me to study abroad in London all by myself

to maintain your happy family.

I've explained to you.

Our family is complicated.

It was a difficult decision.

Great, I don't need you.

I've been alone for twenty years.

I always considered myself an orphan.

You're right.

I haven't been with you for twenty years.

But it doesn't mean that I'm not concerned about you.

I send you your tuition fee, cost of living, and graduation fees

on time and in full every time.

Besides that,

I sent two guards with you

for the sake of your personal safety.

So that's your excuse?

Listen.

What I needed wasn't money nor guards.

I just wanted a family.

You were my only family after my mom passed away.

But what have you given me?

Can you give me a chance to make up for my mistakes?

I'm getting old.

I can't do much for you anymore.

I've taken great pains to meet with you

to convince you to come back to Zhen Tian.

I wish to make up for

what I've owed you the past twenty years.

Don't you think it's too late?

If you can't forgive me,

are you going to just watch the brand you built

get destroyed before your eyes?

Whether you like it or not,

you're a Kang.

We Kangs are career-oriented.

We don't let our emotions ruin our careers.

Chairman Kang, I'm sorry.

I have to disappoint you.

Let's go.

Sihan.

Do you know why I name the company Jiao Yue?

Jiao is your mother's name.

Her dying words

were wishing that her son Sihan

would become an excellent man when he grows up.

Then do you know why my company is named as Z&X?

Z is the first letter of my English name,

while X is the first letter of my mom's name.

Z&X stands for my mother and I.

You're not a part of the equation!

I'll wait for you.

I'll wait for you to change your mind.

Why didn't you ever mention your father?

Don't you understand?

He is not my father.

Sihan, don't be stubborn.

Whether you like it or not,

fact is fact.

I won't surrender that easily.

Would it be better for you to bear all the responsibility on your own?

Zhuo Yue, if you think I should return to Zhen Tian,

then we are no longer friends.

I've always looked up to your morals, your broad-mindedness, and your courage.

But now I realize

that you're actually very selfish.

Have you thought about the others?

Acquire Z&X.

When you're defeated,

don't say I didn't warn you.

President Kang.

Bad news.

Our two stores caught fire in the night.

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?

They found that it was induced

by the alcohol in our perfume warehouse.

There were no signs of human trail.

If Siyu and Donghai didn't inform me,

I wouldn't even had known you were back in Beijing.

I'm getting old.

I can't do much for you anymore.

I wish to make up for

what I've owed you the past twenty years.

I've always looked up to your morals, your broad-mindedness, and your courage.

But now I realize

that you're actually very selfish.

Have you thought about the others?

What are you doing?

Isn't it obvious? I'm baking something.

Do you think I'm frying dough sticks?

Let me do it.

No, I have to bake this cake myself.

Why?

Because...

Because you're giving it to the person you like.

But you can't let Zhang Xiao eat charcoal.

How dare you look down upon your boss?

Let me tell you.

I followed the steps from the French original baking tips book.

Just wait and see.

It's done.

See, it worked.

Love is so great.

I can turn someone who is waited on hand and foot

into a professional baker.

Zhang Xiao is really lucky.

Don't be jealous.

Find a man for yourself.

Don't just keep sticking around in this kitchen.

Do you hate me that much?

I'm just kidding.

How could I hate you?

You can carry gas tanks.

You have great culinary skills.

You're skilled in the arts of seizing and grappling,

and you welcome guests with a smile.

Where will I find someone else like you?

Are you still not telling her this time?

It doesn't matter if she knows.

I just need to know.

Why are you still not online?

Black Cat Detective.

Where did you go?

Stop looking at it.

Give it back to me.

- Congratulations. - Stop.

I know.

It's a free cake for the lucky table again.

The lucky table event has ended.

This time you're the restaurant's lucky 100th customer.

Really?

Won't your restaurant lose out on profit if you're giving out so much free stuff?

The satisfaction of our customers is our best reward.

Please enjoy your cake.

Show me your hand.

Tomorrow, I'm using it to buy a lottery ticket.

This is definitely fishy.

Why would it be?

It's free anyway, just eat it.

All you know is to eat.

Don't you think this restaurant's been a bit weird lately?

My cake, Jack's soup,

and your chicken curry.

Why haven't I noticed?

Who is the evil chef who did that to me?

He almost ruined my love for food.

So let's...

Let's catch him.

Let's go.

- Move. - What's wrong?

Zhang Xiao. Quickly.

Go.

What a huge kitchen.

Cut the crap and find him.

There are so many chefs.

How am I supposed to know who the mysterious chef is?

Stupid, ask them one by one.

Then I'll ask them one by one.

What should I do?

Follow me.

- I don't know. - Thank you.

Are you the mysterious chef?

No.

Hi, who makes the lucky cake?

I don't know.

Thank you.

Strange.

These chefs don't know about the lucky cake.

Is there a ghost?

Nonsense.

All ghosts will run away when they see you.

It's none of my business.

Who's that?

Are you free?

Let's meet in the cafe we met in last time.

I want to talk to you.

I have to go now.

Continue your search.

Remember to tell me when you find out.

Bye.

How am I supposed to find him without you?

Are you okay?

Now I understand what chilly feels like.

Let's go get some sun. It's on me.

It's such a big bill.

It's on me.

Stop.

It's you.

Get him.

I've been sitting here for more than ten minutes.

Are you facing a dilemma?

Take a guess.

Me?

How would I know?

Then let me ask you.

Have you ever faced any tough dilemmas?

Me?

Just three dilemmas.

First, what to eat for breakfast.

Second, what to eat for lunch.

And third, what to eat for dinner.

Sometimes I really envy you.

Simplicity is bliss.

Stop being mysterious, just tell me.

I have a question.

I'd like to get the answer from you.

For example,

one day you and your friends went for an exploration in a forest,

and you unexpectedly fell into a trap.

This trap is gloomy and cold.

There is no food at all.

You're all dying from starvation.

At this moment, the hunter who dug the trap appeared.

He said that he could throw in a string to save everyone.

But on one condition.

What's the condition?

He wants you to marry him.

Then that depends on whether or not he's handsome.

He looks like that guy.

What's your answer?

I'll marry him.

Why?

Don't you think you're at a disadvantage?

My dad is a desert expedition guide.

He always tell me.

Even when there's a sandstorm,

he would never leave his team.

A guide who runs away

will be looked down on forever.

Plus, the guide's responsibility is to protect his team members

and bring them to their destination.

If the hunter isn't handsome,

then he might be rich.

Why do you ask?

Did you give the cake to Zhang Xiao?

So what if I did?

Pretending to be nice.

I knew you were up to no good.

It's none of your business.

I don't think it's any of your concern.

None of my business?

If it's none of my business, then why did you mess with my curry chicken?

That dish is very expensive.

Weren't you taught to appreciate what you have?

You're wasting food.

I just can't bear to see a stranger like you around Zhang Xiao.

That chicken curry is just a starter.

If you don't learn your lesson,

you're in for another treat.

You have guts.

How dare you mess with me?

- I'll... - Don't move.

Let's use our words.

Let's not harm our friendship.

If my blood splatters onto this floor,

you might get fined by the sanitation bureau.

Listen here.

If you tell anyone that Ling Dang and I are here,

you will end up just like this carrot.

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.

I won't tell anyone.

I won't tell.

Thank you.

Oh my God.

Coming.

Aunt Rong, I'm Sihan.

Sihan.

Madam, Chairman Kang.

Look who's home.

Sihan.

Aunt Lan, it's been a long time.

Zhentian.

I knew you'd come back.

Have you eaten?

Aunt Rong, get dinner ready.

- Okay. - It's fine.

I'm leaving soon.

Sihan, have a seat first.

Don't just stand there.

Aunt Rong, warm up some ginseng soup.

Okay.

Sihan.

Your father has a lot to say to you.

You're finally back.

He can finally feel at ease.

Siyu misses you so much.

We all want you to move back home.

I'm here to discuss business with you.

What is it?

I've taken your advice into consideration.

You're willing to come to Zhen Tian?

Yes.

Sihan is joining Zhen Tian?

How great.

But I have three conditions.

Say it.

One.

After Z&X merges with Zhen Tian Group,

you cannot dismiss or demote the existing employees.

You cannot change Z&X's name.

No problem.

Two.

Clarify to the media that the allergic reaction case has nothing to do with the quality of Z&X's products.

I would've done that anyway.

Three.

I'm joining Zhen Tian for my career.

It has nothing to do with our family matters,

and has nothing to do with whether or not I forgive an irresponsible father like you.

Sihan.

Don't blame your father for what he did twenty years ago.

It's all my fault.

Aunt Lan.

I'm talking about the future.

The past is the past.

No problem, I promise you.

Thank you, Chairman. Bye.

Sihan.

Since you are back,

just move back home.

We kept your room for you.

Aunt Lan, don't you remember?

When I left this home,

I was ten years old.

I'm 32 now.

I can't fit in that small room anymore.

Sihan.

Why did he leave?

You can go.

I wouldn't recognize him

if I ran into him on the streets.

Don't take it personally.

It's all my fault.

Memory is like a sponge.

It absorbs easily, but is hard to squeeze out.

Let's take it one step at a time.

Our topic of discussion for today is how to expand the company.

I think we should divide and conquer.

We should acquire small companies

with bright market prospects.

Expanding is not our final goal.

We are going to integrate resources from these small companies

and operate according to their mode of business.

This is the only way to build Zhen Tian Group

into an international commercial empire.

The youth should be feared.

Hearing Director Yin's advice is equivalent to studying for ten years.

Lao Liu, do you feel like you're behind the times?

Chairman, what do you think?

He made great points.

He's done thorough research.

Lao Liu.

I'd like to introduce a young man to everyone.

Directors,

our group recently acquired a cosmetic brand called Z&X.

He is the president of Z&X.

Mr. Kang Sihan.

Directors,

although Sihan is young,

he has an impressive background.

He received his doctorate of biology

from the top university, Cambridge University in England.

Before returning to China, he held an important post at England's Virgin Cosmetics.

And he founded the perfume brand Z&X.

Recently, he's been developing new skin care products.

He is a promising young man.

Overseas returnees are great,

but he might not be able to get a footing here.

An overseas returnee?

Lao Wang,

what do you mean by that?

Right.

I forgot to tell you Sihan's identity.

He is the only son of the chairman

and his first wife, Madam Xu Ruijiao.

A descent of the Kangs.

Lao Liu, you're really something.

Enough.

The both of you aren't kids anymore.

Don't behave like children.

Director Yin.

I agree with your suggestion

to divide and conquer.

Sihan is new to the company and has lots to learn.

I'll have him work under you.

Please teach him the ropes.

No problem.

Director Yin.

We will work together in future.

Nice to meet you.

Kang Sihan.

Director Yin, what is it?

I thought you would work things out with Z&X.

I didn't expect for it to get acquired by us in the end.

That's a question for you.

If you didn't drive Z&X to a wall,

I would've never thought of such a great way to save myself.

Stop making excuses.

You're seeking refuge from your father without any shame.

I think you're ready to cast your line.

I have no sense of shame?

Then a stranger like you

is even more shameful than me.

What did you say?

Don't forget.

Zhen Tian Group belongs to the Kangs, not the Yins.

What are you doing?

As the saying goes,

unity is power.

Everyone in the company is paying attention to the both of you.

You need to show solidarity.

Don't put me to shame.

I think you're the one who wants to put me to shame.

I know I put you through a lot.

But I've told you many times.

Every decision I make is for the benefit of the company.

I hope you can understand.

Tomorrow is the weekend.

Your mom wants to invite you both to a meal.

We don't get together often.

Bring your girlfriends if you have one.

You're all grown up now.

Director Yin.

I just saw Kang Sihan in front of the elevator.

You will see him every day from now on.

What do you mean?

He is my assistant now.

Was this all according to the chairman's plan?

Are you surprised?

A bit.

I figured it out a while ago.

Then why did you still do it?

Why not?

I lose no matter what in this.

If I don't force Z&X to shut down, it means I'm incapable.

It proves I can't beat Kang Sihan.

If I force Z&X to shut down, then Zhen Tian will acquire it.

Then Kang Sihan will work for this company.

Two outcomes,

both unfavorable for me.

So I must defeat Kang Sihan.

I must get him to work here

so that I can continue to defeat him.

I want to prove to all

that whether it's business or personal,

I'm always better than him.

Kang Zhentian suppressed Z&X

so that Kang Sihan can end up at the company.

So that was his plan all along.

This is bad.

Yes, according to current situation,

it's unfavorable for us.

Don't worry, I'll handle it.

Okay.

Who is it?

Room service.

Please come in.

Just take the money on the table.

Sir, it's not enough.

What do you mean?

Fifty isn't enough for a plate of fruit salad?

The fruit salad is a special dish.

Each plate comes with cheese, bacon, and a cocktail.

It also comes with my brother's favorite tuna salad.

Siyu.

What are you doing?

Dad sent me here as a spy.

Don't tell anyone.

You think you could be a spy?

President Kang, I prepared some excellent cocktails for you.

Blue rose whisky.

Very appropriate for a Prince Charming like you.

If I didn't tell Dad about you,

I wouldn't even know where to find you.

How are you going to reward me?

Reward?

I should get even with you.

Come, have a seat.

Because you told them I was back in Beijing,

you caused me many troubles.

Fine, it's all my fault.

I'll drink as punishment.

Stop, I'll drink with you.

Brother, how are you?

Are you doing well over there?

It's fine.

I thought you would be too used to the great life you had over there

to adapt to life back home.

Do you think I'm debonair like you?

Life overseas isn't as easy as you might think.

You always say that experience will shape out a person's character.

You're more charming now.

You're so glib.

I feel so free now.

Before you came back,

Mom kept telling me to help out at the company.

I'm free from that responsibility now that you're back.

I didn't plan on working at Zhen Tian.

You're a member of the Kangs.

You don't have a choice.

Come on, let's eat.

Black Cat Detective, what are you doing here?

I'm waiting for you.

Waiting for me?

That's right.

Are you facing another dilemma?

It's not a dilemma.

Just family matters.

My father and stepmother invited me for dinner tomorrow.

I thought it was something bad.

That's a good thing.

Aren't you a drifter?

I was a drifter.

But I recently met up with my long-last father.

Turns out he lives in Beijing as well.

So now I'm no longer a drifter.

What an intricate story.

What's more is that they asked me to bring my girlfriend.

Then bring her.

But I don't have a girlfriend.

Then find a girlfriend.

You can rent one too.

There is a renting service online.

I have to spend money if I rent one.

The girl in front of me will do.

She's also free of charge.

Why are you looking at me?

Your family matters have nothing to do with me.

ZX, are you really gonna leave me hanging?

I'm not.

It depends on the situation.

In order to help you, me, a single woman,

would have to pretend to be your girlfriend for your dad and stepmom.

How am I supposed to live my life if this news spreads out?

How am I going to marry with a tall, rich and handsome guy?

Can you handle the consequences?

Fine.

I'll go by myself tomorrow then.

I have no money, no car, no house, and no girlfriend anyways.

They already look down on me.

It doesn't matter if they look down on me one more time.

Wait.

I pity you.

I'll do it just this once.

Don't worry, I'm here.

Are you coming back early today?

Okay, see you tomorrow.

Did your shoot in Korea go well?

Why do you keep pestering me?

I heard that you moved.

Why didn't you invite us to your new house?

I just wanted to move somewhere more quiet.

Did you need to move so far away?

It's inconvenient for Han Qing to visit you

when he misses you.

I can stay wherever I like.

It's none of your business.

Honey.

Seems like you haven't figured out the situation.

God brought us together again.

That means we're inseparable.

Your business is my business,

and my business is your business.

What do you want?

I'm busy.

I want...

I want Yin Zheng to ruin Kang Sihan.

Yin Zheng is your nephew.

Are you trying to ruin him?

Yin Zheng's heart is filled with anger.

And you are the wood that can cause the fire to burn more furiously.

They argued all their lives.

It won't be difficult to get them to go at each other.

Why do you hold such a deep grudge against the Kangs?

You don't have to know about my story.

But...

Stop it.

Just do your part.

Don't forget your role.

Who's that?

Second Uncle.

Second Uncle, it's me.

Zheng'er, come in.

- Second Uncle. - Come in.

I brought you something.

Have a seat.

I've been busy recently,

so I didn't have time to pay you a visit.

You're busy with the company.

Don't waste your time on me.

You're my only relative aside from my mom.

I should visit you.

Your father died young.

I should be taking care of you,

but I'm useless.

I'm ashamed.

What are you talking about?

If it weren't for you,

I would've had a harder time growing up with the Kangs.

I've told Kang Zhentian.

You might not be his birth son,

but you're still his son.

I told him to stop working against you.

Why are you asking him for favors?

He never treated me as his son.

He has his guard up against me.

Recently,

he got Kang Sihan to join the company.

He's obviously working against me.

As long as you put more in the effort, you'll be stronger than him.

But I heard

that he cares about his son a lot.

The assets that originally belonged to your father and I

may continue to be held by the Kangs.

I'll make sure they fail.

Great, I'm relieved that you're confident.

I hope I can see Zhen Tian Group change its name

to Yin Group in my lifetime.

Second Uncle, don't worry.

I want Kang Zhentian to return everything he took from us.

Okay.

I have to take this.

Hello?

I'll be back soon.

Okay.

Second Uncle, I have another appointment with a client.

I have to go now.

Get along then.

Take care.

Okay.

Wait.

Don't just concentrate on your work.

Spend more time with your girlfriend.

She is a nice girl.

Treat her well.

I will.

Go on.

You can come out now.

Yin Zheng thinks of you as his closest relative.

How do you have the heart to ruin him?

You're the one who can't bring yourself to do it.

Why are you siding with him?

Are you falling in love with him?

If you said you just wanted to make some money from Yin Zheng,

I would believe that.

Women like you

can't possibly fall in love with any man.

If I didn't rescue you,

you would still be a drug dealer selling at a nightclub in Thailand.

Be smart.

We take what we need respectively.

Love is a luxury.

Do you understand?

Understood.

Don't try to cheat me.

Remember, you work for me.

Get your job done.

I'll protect you.

Otherwise, I'll make you suffer.
