Tong.

Are you leaving?

I'll see you off.

Don't bother. It's still early.

Get some more sleep.

But I don't want you to go.

I don't want to leave either.

Hello, Boting.

Hey, Mingmei.

Are you in Shanghai?

Want to grab dinner tonight?

You're in Shanghai?

Yeah.

Are you free?

Not tonight.

I already have plans.

But I'm flying to the US tonight.

I came to Shanghai specifically

to talk to you about Matching.

The 50 million financing deal

you introduced me to went through.

Really?

But tonight...

Alright.

Tonight it is.

See you then.

Okay.

See you soon.

Hello?

Hey, Mr. Qin.

Are you off work yet?

Something came up tonight.

Let's reschedule.

Okay, got it.

Go ahead with your plans.

Alright.

We'll meet another time. Bye.

[Putian]

Mei.

Yang? Why are you back?

What's going on in there?

[Yongjuan Shoes]

Ms. Liu and Mr. Gan are inside.

Enough. Don't say any more.

You women are always so timid.

What's there to worry about?

Just let me think it over, okay?

What's there to think about?

I'm your husband. Would I ever do you wrong?

What if we get caught?

Plenty of people do this.

Just grease...

Yang?

Come on, hurry in.

Yang.

Get in here.

Let me have a look at you.

Yang,

why did you come back so suddenly

without even calling?

You still had a year left on your sentence.

How did you get out so soon?

Your dad had a stroke in there last year.

Thankfully, they saved him in time,

but he'll be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

So he applied for medical parole.

Hey, you brat,

after all these years apart, and you didn't even miss me?

Right?

Look at you.

All grown up now.

Doesn't he look just like me back then?

What were you just talking to my mom about?

Oh, that...

Nothing.

It's just that the midsole material company

got a few fines for pollution.

No big deal.

Really?

Yes.

Listen, Yang,

it's just a few million.

Just a few million.

We can cover it.

A few million?

Every bit of money is hard-earned by my mom.

Oh, come on.

Don't I have a stake in this company?

Is that so?

Yang,

this is the office.

Let's talk about this over dinner tonight.

Enjoy.

Yang, here.

Go on, eat.

Have some more.

You eat too, Mom.

Don't worry about me.

Mom.

I just met with Ms. Long.

She told me about what's been going on at home.

Two years ago,

the company was preparing to list on the A-share market.

Early last year,

we completed the final round of financing.

The agreement stipulated

that if we failed to list

before the end of the year,

we'd have to buy back the shares

from investors at a 10% simple interest rate.

But since last year,

our orders have been continuously declining.

The estimated valuation and profitability

are far off

from last year's figures.

What's the big deal?

We just need to tweak the numbers a bit on the financial side

and turn the revenue

from one billion into 1.5 billion.

Inflate profits

from 50 million to 100 million.

We've got the factory and workers right here.

It's plausible enough.

Tweak the numbers?

What kind of tweak?

Mom is the legal representative and actual controller

of the company.

If anything goes wrong, she'll have to take the fall.

Are you trying to send her to prison?

Is it that serious?

Success always comes

with risks.

You young people just don't get it.

Wasn't that what you thought before you went in?

Yang.

You went to prison for fund-raising fraud

and left Mom to clean up your mess.

Do you have any idea what she's been through all these years?

Now you're out, and you want to send her in?

Does she owe you or something?

What do you mean?

Your mom and I are getting old.

Even if we make money, how much can we spend?

Who are we doing all this for?

For you!

We at least have to try.

What are you doing?

What, am I wrong?

Mom, don't listen to him.

He never tells the truth.

And I don't need you to do any of this for me.

Do you understand?

Fine.

Then what's your solution?

Long Mei said

we're short 200 million.

You gonna cover that?

You got that kind of money?

Gan, why are you even telling him this?

You didn't even finish college, and you're trying to lecture me?

What do you know?

Yang.

Come outside.

I need to talk to you.

Mom.

Ms. Long and I

reviewed all the cases of companies going public this year.

Don't even think about that idea.

Given the current trend,

you definitely won't get approval.

Yang,

those two properties in Hong Kong, China are under your name.

You're grown up now,

almost graduated,

and you've got a girlfriend.

If something happens here,

I don't want you involved.

I'll handle it.

What do you mean, Mom?

Of course, I'm going to deal with family matters.

I'd rather you didn't know any of this.

Why?

I know you.

Once you know,

you'll rush back.

You'll stay

and be by my side,

just like now.

I don't want to derail your life.

Mom,

of course, I have to come back.

I know you're filial.

But you need to live your own life.

Here.

Congratulations to you.

No, to us.

If it weren't for your insistence on doing short videos,

Matching wouldn't be where it is today.

So, what are your plans next?

Although with this funding,

we'll definitely make a big breakthrough in the US market,

I think we can't neglect

the domestic market.

Short videos definitely have a huge future.

Exactly.

That's what I think too.

But I can't be in two places at once.

So, I hope you'll go to the US

and take full charge of the business there.

Me?

Go there?

I know your current job is great.

But working for others is not as good as working for yourself.

What do you say?

But, this is sudden.

I need to think about it.

Is this still the Song Mingmei I know?

Weren't you going to become an iron lady

before you turned 35?

With your fixed salary,

when will you ever get there?

Are you attached to your current job?

Of course not.

If it's not the job,

then is it someone?

Are you in love?

Not yet.

But soon.

Mingmei,

Matching really needs you.

I can't trust anyone else with it.

Alright.

Just give me some time.

I'll think about it

and give you an answer.

Okay.

I'll wait for your reply.

Cheers.

Have some water.

You see,

on one hand, there is this amazing career opportunity.

On the other,

there is my budding romance.

What should I do?

It's really a tough choice.

If it were you,

which would you choose?

If it were me,

of course I'd want the opportunity to go abroad.

But I could never walk away from family or Gan Yang.

Anyone would struggle with this.

See?

You don't know either.

Don't think about it for now.

It's almost Chinese New Year.

Come celebrate with my family.

No, thanks.

I prefer to spend it alone at home.

Alright.

But I think

if you really want to go,

you should.

You support me?

We can't let ourselves regret it.

You're the best.

Take this.

Here, take it.

Dinner is ready.

Come on.

Put that over there.

Okay.

Let's raise our glasses.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Here, this is your lucky money.

Tuck it under your pillow tonight.

Thanks, Mom.

No worries.

Mom, Happy Chinese New Year.

Wish you good health and all the best.

Since when do kids give elders lucky money?

Silly girl. I can't accept this.

I don't care about others.

My mom gets hers.

No.

Just take it. Take a look.

So much?

You...

I can't take it. It's too much.

Just keep it.

I know you're making money now

and you're filial, but we still have debts to pay.

I can't take this money.

Listen.

I might get a bonus this year.

Junior analysts

usually don't get bonuses.

But my boss said

since I've been doing the work of a senior analyst,

I'll get a bonus this year too.

Based on past years,

it should be about two months' salary.

That means

by next Chinese New Year, we'll have paid off

all our debts.

That's great.

My girl is amazing.

Once we've paid off our debts,

I'll take you to Shanghai.

We'll eat, play,

and experience everything

you've missed out on.

That will cost a lot of money.

That's not for you to worry about.

When I get rich,

I'll buy a place in Shanghai

and move you there permanently.

Then you can cook for me every day,

and I can always enjoy your cooking.

You'd get sick of it.

I'd never get tired of your cooking.

You're always

such a sweet talker.

Let's eat.

So I'll keep this?

Keep it.

Okay.

I'll dig in.

Eat up, go on.

Come on, try the hairtail.

Okay, you have some too.

Hairtail.

Take a sip.

Mom.

It seems Gan Kunliang's estimate of 200 million

was conservative.

Yang, don't worry.

It probably won't be that much.

Besides,

everything is negotiable.

But, Mom,

no matter what,

you absolutely can't listen to him.

Don't worry. I won't.

[Tong]

I'm going out for a bit.

Tong.

Happy Chinese New Year.

Happy Chinese New Year.

It's snowing here.

Look.

Isn't it beautiful?

Have you had your Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?

I did.

How about you?

Me too.

I was just out setting off fireworks

and almost lit my hair on fire.

When are you coming back?

There's still some family business to handle.

I might not make it back in time.

What kind of business?

Something with my mom's company.

It's not a big deal,

but I have to be there in person.

Can you believe my mom?

I finally come back,

and she

won't let me leave until this gets done.

You have to be there in person?

Does that mean there's a dividend?

Are you about to get millions

in lucky money?

More than that.

Look at the snow view here.

Isn't it beautiful?

I'm covered in snowflakes.

♪The time and time♪

Look.

♪For life and life♪

♪I had it once. I lost it though♪

I miss you so much.

I miss you too.

[Yongjuan Shoes]

Open the door!

Mr. Gan, hand over the company seal,

and we'll let you out.

Nonsense!

Since when do I need your permission

- to take what's mine? - Mei.

What's going on?

You... Please talk some sense into your dad.

He...

He took

all the company's seals.

And your two uncles.

So Ms. Liu had no choice

but to lock him in.

Why didn't you call the police?

Ms. Liu wouldn't let us.

Hurry!

Gan Kunliang, give the seals back now.

Or I'm calling the police!

Yang, listen to me.

Don't listen to your mom or Long Mei.

These women only see things one way.

They know nothing.

I'm doing this for the company.

Come on, open the door, Yang!

[Finance Office]

Mr. Gan.

Hello, I need to report...

Yang,

you can't call the police.

Your father's out on medical parole.

If you call the police, he'll go back to prison.

After all this, you're still protecting him?

He's still your dad.

Liu Yongjuan,

what are you scheming? Open this door!

Gan Kunliang,

I've told you a million times.

I won't let you out

until you return the seals!

Found it?

Yes.

Open the door.

- Hurry! - Let's go.

Hurry.

Don't move!

I'm telling you, I'm taking these seals.

Do you hear me? Don't move!

Give them back!

Hey!

- What are you doing? - Give them back!

Gan Kunliang, give them back!

Stop him!

Let go!

Don't move!

Stop right there!

Let go!

Let go of me!

- Let go! - Gan Kunliang!

Return them!

Let...

Let go!

Mom!

Kunliang.

Kunliang, are you okay?

Mom!

- Where are you hurt? - He's hurt.

Mom!

Mei, call an ambulance.

Alright.

Here, sit down.

Mom, wake up.

The seals!

[Emergency Department]

[Operation Room]

Yang, have some water.

Yang.

Actually, your mom hasn't been well for a long time.

And it's been getting worse recently.

I've told her repeatedly

to get checked out.

But she always says she'll wait until things settle down.

And she told me not to tell you.

Mei,

I feel like such a failure.

I didn't know Gan Kunliang was out of prison.

I had no idea things at home were this bad.

I didn't even know my mom was sick.

Yang, don't say that.

You've always been your mom's pride.

Do you know how thrilled she was

when your design won that award?

She told everyone about it.

Doctor,

how's my mom?

The wound on her head

has been cleaned and sutured.

Prevent infection in the coming days.

Understood.

But she also

has a severe axonal injury.

She's still in a coma.

When will she wake up?

It's hard to say.

Could be soon.

Could be... never.

So

prepare yourselves.

Gan Kunliang, you're suspected of fund-raising fraud.

Come with us.

I didn't break any laws!

What are you doing?

- Why are you arresting me? - Yang.

Why are you arresting my dad?

Yang.

Why are you taking my dad?

Yang.

Her husband ruined me!

You darn fraud!

Give me back my hard-earned money!

- Pay up! - Give it back!

Pay me back!

Tell me when will you pay me back!

These 200 yuan are for your next semester's tuition.

These 200 are for Grandma's expenses this month.

This 100 is for the red envelope for Chinese New Year.

It's also for Grandma.

As for this 100,

I promised you

a Megatron toy.

So this is for Megatron.

How much is left now?

Only 6 yuan.

These last 6 yuan

are all we have left.

From that day on,

I swore

I'd become strong enough

to protect you.

[Yongjuan Shoes] Toes forward, yes.

And don't keep your feet in a straight line,

Or you'll lose balance.

Okay, don't hyperextend your knees.

Relax your shoulders.

Hold it.

Shoulders down.

There you go.

Weight in your hips.

Okay, hold it.

Mom,

haven't you been too busy lately?

I can go running by myself.

I'll be fine. You should rest more.

I want to get stronger

with my dear son too, okay?

Otherwise, when you grow up,

what will I become?

I'll just become some old lady

hobbling on crutches.

No way!

How about a race?

Let's see who reaches the finish line first.

Alright.

Okay, come here.

Stand right here.

Align your feet, come on.

One.

Two!

Mom! You cheated! You jumped the start!

All is fair in war!

But today, I still failed.

I know.

No matter what happens...

in your heart...

I'll always be the son you're proudest of.

I'm just so disappointed in myself.

Mom.

I'm sorry...

I couldn't protect you.

Yang,

your dad's here.

Close the door.

What are you doing here?

Happy with what happened to my mom?

Is this how you talk to me?

I'm your father.

Can't you see I'm injured too?

Without you, my mom wouldn't be like this.

Listen,

if anything happens to her,

I won't let you off.

Enough.

I can't be bothered with you.

With your mom like this,

someone else needs to run the company.

Alright, give me the company seals.

I'll handle everything.

Fair?

You just focus on taking care of your mother.

So this is why you came.

Don't think I don't know

what you want the seals for.

Cooking the books!

That's illegal.

I won't give you the seals.

You can forget about it.

Well, Gan Yang,

I never thought

I'd have such an ungrateful son!

Your mother and I are husband and wife.

Would I ever do her wrong?

Look at the state of the company.

What do you think we should do?

Who should take over? You or her?

Me.

I'll take care of it.

You? Did I hear that right?

Yang.

We're talking about 200 million.

Will the investors believe

a kid who hasn't even graduated from university?

Aren't you being naive?

You don't trust me. Fine.

I just thought of someone.

Don't you have a girlfriend

working at some securities firm?

Perfect.

Let's hear what she thinks.

She'll be part of our family,

right?

Let's see how much she loves you.

Let's go!

Yang.

Kid,

you dare to lay a hand on me, huh?

Let go.

Let go!

Let...

Show up in front of her...

and you'll regret it.

So my son does have fears.

Here's the deal.

Give me the seals,

and this ends.

Think about it.

Let go.

Think about it, son.

Yang,

should you tell your girlfriend

so she can be prepared?

Your dad

means what he says.

No need.

I will never let her get involved.

Alright then.

Yang.

Are you sure about taking over the company?

This company is Mom's life's work.

I won't let it go under.

One more thing, Yang.

Your mother repeatedly told me not to tell you.

But since you've decided,

you should know.

What is it?

Fangshi Capital just sent a repurchase notice to us.

They're demanding full repayment in one lump sum.

A total...

of 150 million.

How long is the payment deadline?

Fifteen working days.

Mei.

Please schedule a meeting

with Fangshi Capital as soon as possible

to see if we can apply for an extension

or installment payment.

Okay.

Also,

contact the bank

about a potential loan.

We need contingency plans.

I'll get right on it.

Thanks.

Hello, Ms. Liu.

Why hasn't

last quarter's payment come through?

Hello.

I'm Ms. Liu's son.

My name is Gan Yang.

She's not available now.

I'll be handling the company matters.

The payment can't exceed the contract deadline.

You're right.

I'll have Ms. Long make the payment to you promptly.

Please do it quickly. We're in a hurry.

Sure.

Thank you.

No problem.

Hey, Yang.

I've scheduled a meeting with the bank people.

Tomorrow night at 8 PM at Baoli Grand Hotel.

Okay.

You'll come with me then.

By the way,

Ms. Liu's assistant resigned today.

The company has been in a state of panic lately.

Brace yourself.

More people might quit soon.

Okay.

I understand.

Mei,

please sell off all the properties under my name

as soon as possible.

Price isn't a big deal.

Just get the money to the suppliers first.

We have to keep the production line running.

But these were left by Ms. Liu for you

to get married and have kids.

Are you sure about this?

I'm not going back to Shanghai.

I'll tell her later

not to wait for me.

Oh my goodness.

You finally called me.

Are you done with family matters?

I sent you today's test data.

Did you check it?

I might not be able

to focus on R&D for a while.

It's all on you from now on.

Sorry.

Whoa.

This sudden politeness is creepy.

Are you hiding something from me?

No.

Just a lot going on at home.

You made it sound like a deathbed farewell.

You scared me.

Alright, I get it.

You focus on your stuff.

I'll handle the R&D.

I'm hanging up.

Bye.
