[Stand or Fall]

[Episode 31]

Dad. Mom.

I'm back.

You went out for a walk on a rainy day?

Mom.

Mom!

Where is she?

Mom? Mom!

Mom! Mom, wake up. Mom!

No one's here.

Hello, hello, is this 120? Yes.

My mother fainted at home. Can you send an ambulance to me?

Dad!

- Dad, my mom fainted. - What happened?

- Come and see! - I took the garbage out.

I'm calling the ambulance.

Wife, wifey. Wang Meili!

- Where's Guan Tengfei? Where did he go? - How should I know?

Guan Tengfei, Mom fainted at home. Hurry and come back!

Our courtyard... The ambulance can't get into our courtyard. The TV news said

this situation, if she is not saved within 10 minutes, she'll be dead.

Don't panic yet. The hospital is 500 meters away from the community yard.

If that doesn't work, how about we carry mom by ourselves? Okay?

- Quick, let's go. - Slowly. Gently move her head.

Gently. Gently.

Dad, slow down. Slowly. Slowly.

Slowly.

Slowly.

- Dad, let me carry her on my back. - You can't carry her. I'll do it.

- Dad! - What happened?

- Guan Tengfei! - Your mother fainted.

Where were you? I told you to take good care of Mom and Dad at home.

Why don't you ever pay any attention?

- Are you scolding me at this moment? - Stop it. Let's go to the hospital!

Be careful.

Slowly. Slowly. Dad, take it easy.

Slowly.

Slowly.

- I'm fine. - Dad, be careful.

No need to worry about me. Hold the umbrella for them.

Don't worry about me. Just cover me.

You cover yourself too.

Family members can't come in.

Slowly.

Dad.

Dad. Dad. Dad.

[Emergency]

- She has a history of high blood pressure, right? - A little.

It's a mini-stroke. Luckily, she was sent over in time.

She didn't miss the golden time for rescue.

If she recovers well, she can be just the same as before.

Thank you, Doctor.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Dad, don't worry. Everything is fine. Go back and have a rest. We'll stay watch here.

You two should take some time to get a little rest..

I'll go home then.

Hello, General Manager Ding. Anything the matter?

Have you eaten with your parents?

You were a little unhappy last night. You...

I'm at the hospital now. My mom had an accident today.

If there's no urgent work, can we talk about it tomorrow?

Your mom is ill? I'll go to the hospital now.

That's not necessary.

It's enough that Guan Tengfei and my dad are here. You won't be of any help.

You should focus on the planning of the marketplace event.

Think about how to cooperate with Cathy.

Wen Wen is here.

- How is Mom? - She's fine.

She slept well last night.

You stayed up all night. You didn't eat anything yesterday.

Let me buy you something.

No need.

Wen Wen,

I want to tell you something.

That is... actually,

I didn't go out partying last night.

Last week, a friend introduced a rental and dispatch company to me.

When you called me, I was driving my boss home at the time.

This...

You've found a job?

[Zone 16 | Day Surgery Ward]

Thanks.

If you hadn't rushed home in time last night,

Dad and I wouldn't have been able to move her.

The doctor also said,

if she had arrived later at the hospital, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

What are you talking about? This is what I should do.

I'm... their son and your older brother.

Originally, in this family,

I'm the one who should be the pillar.

I should help you with those tasks. But now, I can do nothing well.

But I've made you all worry instead.

No, it's my fault.

I was too conceited.

I always thought the whole family relied on me,

and I could handle everything by myself.

I was too harsh on you.

That's because I didn't do everything well enough.

I-I know.

I'm old enough, but I've been causing trouble for mom and dad.

I've made you lose confidence in me.

I haven't been able

to fulfill the obligation and duty as an older brother.

I know. I... I've been holding them back.

But I swear, every time I messed things up,

I really didn't mean to do it.

I... I want to do everything well

and show off to all of you.

But...

every time... in the end,

you've always had to clean up my mess.

It's not that. I gave you too much pressure.

That's why I made you

uncertain of what you should do.

Brother,

it's so great to have you as my older brother.

You always call me Guan Tengfei.

When you suddenly call me older brother today, I'm really...

I feel touched. I really am...

- Hugs. - No.

Give me a hug.

Ding Ning?

What a coincidence! Auntie is also staying in this hospital? How is she?

How did you know I'm here? Guan Tengfei told you?

If you want to maintain a boundary, why would you care whether I come or not?

- You're angry? - Not really.

Why did you walk away then?

- My mom is about to wake up. I'll go in to check on her. - I will go in, too.

What makes you think you can go in?

- I'm visiting my friend's mother. - Who's your friend?

Guan Tengfei.

Wen Wen, Mom is awake.

- Mom! - General Manager Ding.

Please come in.

- Wen Wen. - I'm here, Mom.

- Mom is dying. - No, no. You are a lot better already.

Don't worry.

But my head still hurts.

- Your head hurts? I'll get a doctor to check on you, okay? - No need.

- Mom. Mom, look who's here? - What?

- Mom. - Auntie, Auntie. - Tak a look.

Hello, I am Ding Ning.

Who is Ding Ning?

General Manager.

He drove a fancy car to give her a ride.

The one who gave her a ride home...

- Mom! - Mom, you...

You just had a mini-stroke. Take it easy.

You're Ding Ning?

You're so handsome.

Well...

- You... You... How tall are you? - Did you see that?

Once she sees Ding Ning, she isn't worried anymore.

She'll run fast when she gets discharged tomorrow.

How old are you this year?

Mom? Are you investigating his household registration?

He is your boyfriend, of course, I have to ask thoroughly.

He is not an official boyfriend.

Auntie, I'm determined to pursue her until she nods her head.

Also, I will be nice to her in the future.

Definitely.

Why are you still standing there? Quickly get the phone for me.

- I'll tell father the good news. - Cell phone? Okay.

- Mom. - I'm pretty much recovered.

A dose of good medicine is effective.

The acting performance is finished.

I'm going back then.

What are you doing?

I've calmed her. But I still have something to tell you.

What are you trying to say?

What I just told your mom, please don't be too burdened.

I just wanted to cheer her up, so she can recover sooner too.

So when you told my mom you would be nice to me, you were telling a lie?

Certainly not.

Those words are from my heart.

My brother told me about the car accident.

It was you who helped behind the scenes.

I owe you an apology.

Sorry.

In this matter, I've never been angry with you.

However, would you be willing to exchange this apology

for a chance to get me out of probation?

- That would be fantastic. - You wish.

You need to gid rid of those rotten girls around you. I'm very narrow-minded.

It might be a little difficult in the short term.

Maybe you can maintain this anger for a little longer?

In a short term?

Therefore, your "three no's" policy with Cathy was intentional.

That's for sure. Otherwise, how could I strike at Chairman Zheng and catch Lei Kesen off guard?

Why didn't you tell me in advance?

I wanted to see if you were nervous for me.

You...

You even included me in your scheme.

The most beautiful woman, Qiu Qiu!

You're always in my heart!

Three days of autumn, forever in heart!

- Qiu Qiu is so beautiful. - Qiu Qiu, good luck! We'll always be with you!

Qiu Qiu, go for it, fly with me forever!

♫ Our wild dreams were too intense, do you remember? ♫

♫ I once held it in my hands ♫

♫ Why did you suddenly give in? It doesn't seem like me ♫

♫ It's obvious my heart is full of emotions ♫

♫ I'm not afraid, ~oh, I'm not afraid ♫

♫ Dance to your heart's content, don't stop ♫

♫ I'm not afraid, ~oh, I'm not afraid ♫

♫ The stage is waiting for me to start ♫

Qiu Qiu, do your best!

We'll always be with you!

Three days in Autumn!

Forever in my heart!

Thank you all.

Thank you.

I hope you will like my song tonight.

At the same time, I also hope you can have

a brand new understanding of Jing Zhiqiu.

Thank you all.

Bravo!

Yours.

Mine.

Yours.

Mine.

Yours.

Mine.

Yours.

Yours.

Why does it feel like we're thieves sharing the spoils?

No boss shares the earnings like you do.

If you don't like it, you can give it back.

This is my store.

I like this feeling of happiness of touching and dividing real money.

You are the boss. Whatever makes you happy.

[Yi Chen Coffee]

Look at this. We share the earnings.

Your share is catching up to mine.

Do you feel guilty?

Take it back.

Are you out of your mind?

Actually, there is no need to divide things up so clearly between us.

You are the boss,

so I am the boss's lady?

We are a family.

We don't need to divide it up so clearly.

You want to be the lady boss?

No.

If so, you should be the boss.

And I am the lady boss. (means wife of the boss)

This is the correct term based on gender.

That works.

No, no. I didn't mean that.

What's the matter? Here, get up.

He Yifei! You aren't confessing your love for me, are you?

If I say I am,

will you agree?

[Bigger Night]

Chairman Ding, didn't you say that it will be crowded at 10 a.m.?

It looks a bit deserted right now.

Find Cathy.

It's already the time. Where is everyone?

It seems that General Manager Ding has put all his thoughts into love and relationships.

You didn't put your heart into the event.

Guan Wen, can you not be so weird? Just mind your own online mini-app.

You don't even focus on your own project.

It seems that you don't care about this quarter's sales.

Why do you still bother with my mini app?

I am the general manager of this mall. What kind of attitude is this from you?

You're making up an excuse for your dereliction of duty. Right?

My app isn't online yet.

How can you be sure that I'll fail?

At least it won't be as bad as your show now.

Enough now. Are you two not awake yet? Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed?

- Shut up! - Shut up!

Board Assistant Zhou,

I have good news for you.

Ding Ning and the others messed up this time.

It was a miserable cry at the scene. He also had a terrible quarrel with Guan Wen.

It was a fierce argument!

According to my estimate, Guan Wen will not care about online e-commerce anymore.

Ding Ning is doomed this time.

Director Lei!

A lot of customers suddenly came to the mall.

What?

Hello, fans.

I'm here at Bigger Night.

You can get discounts if you buy more.

Hello, pick three for me.

Scan the QR code.

New fans, please follow us.

Come and follow us!

Boss, cut down the sample size. There are many children, okay?

Cheers.

Why are there so many people suddenly? Didn't you ask?

Yes, I did. They say the publicized time for the marketplace was 11 a.m.

But... General Manager Ding's assistant told me ribbing cutting was at 10 a.m.

This is how you do your job?

You didn't ask around?

They did a lot of publicity and made a lot of noise. You didn't hear anything?

With so much publicity, didn't you know something about it, too?

What did you say?

Where's Guan Wen? How is the online mini-app now?

Someone saw Ms. Guan at the restaurant ahead with Director Wu, who is in charge of the mini app.

This is bad. Let's go find them.

Yes, we can see that our collaboration this time for online sales,

- The data is very good. - Yes, it's looking fantastic.

Of course, there's a little something to do,

I mean, similar types of categories can...

- Director Lei is here. - Hello, Director Lei.

Director Wu knows that I'm keeping an eye at Wanli,

so she came to give me the good news on online sales.

Didn't you say you didn't about the mini app anymore?

It was just a random remark out of anger. You took it seriously, Director Lei?

I'm very concerned about the company.

Is Director Lei not happy about that?

Where were you?

I've been waiting for you the whole morning.

I haven't asked you yet. Weren't you making trouble for Ding Ning?

Look at the customer flow downstairs.

What effect did you make?

Who said I was going to sabotage Ding Ning's event?

Do you forget what you told me back then?

What did I tell you? I told you to try to make Ding Ning fall in love with you.

So, customer flow is none of my business.

This...

I'm here to ask you to transfer me to report to Ding Ning.

What's your problem?

You're the Senior Operations Manager.

Instead of reporting to me, the COO, you want to report to Ding Ning?

I'll lose face.

Also, let me warn you. Drop this idea forever. Ding Ning won't be into you.

Lei Kesen, what do you mean?

You turn around so easily?

You praised me so highly when you came to me. And now you turn against me just like that.

Fine. Let me tell you something, too.

Don't bother to fight with Ding Ning.

You are no match for him.

Me... That's not what I meant.

What I mean is, we're in the same boat.

When you help me, you help yourself.

The same boat?

Even I know your boat is about to sink.

What? Should I stay with you on this leaky boat and drown with you?

Of course, I'd want to go to Ding NIng's big ship that has more potential.

Didn't you say it's already succeeded?

You told me to wait for your good news, didn't you?

- but... they are simply evil. We didn't expect... - You're the stupid one!

Chairman Zheng, forget about it.

I promoted you, but you are no help at all!

I have to end it myself.

Hold on.

Last time, you said that Guan Wen revenged for her personal grudge

and refused to renew TL's contract?

Send me all the evidence and documentation to me!

Yes. I'll send them right away!

How is Auntie? Is she all right now?

After leaving the hospital, she's been walking so fast like she's flying.

It seems that Ding Ning is a strong medicine.

After the competition is over, let's find time to visit her.

I heard you got into the top ten. Should we have a group night soon?

Yeah.

Originally, I was just having some fun.

Unexpectedly, my true strength won't let me stay in low profile.

Xuanxuan, how about you?

After the online hot abs helped you with the ads, how is your cafe's business now?

What online hot abs?

His name is Zhang Chen.

My cafe is doing well.

It's just that...

He Yifei suddenly confessed his love to me.

Why are you so calm?

I already told you he's into you.

You chose to pretend to be blind. What could I do?

Chen Xuanxuan, why didn't you accept him?

How did you guess that?

If you had said yes to him, you would have told us,

"I got together with Chen Yifei yesterday."

Every time I chat with the two of you, I feel like my IQ is lower.

You should marry He Yifei.

He's a PhD. In the future, your child's IQ will be higher with an upgraded DNA.

Guan Wen!

To be honest, why did you reject him?

The failure I had with Lin Hao is still a lot for me to self-reflect.

Actually, I'm the same as He Yifei.

There's a big gap between us.

We won't have a good ending.

I would still end up getting hurt myself.

Chen Xuanxuan, do you have to give up the whole forest because of one tree?

When Lin Hao was with you originally, his intention was not pure.

He did like you a little,

but he mainly liked your household registration and your father's status.

But Hei Yifei likes you for yourself.

Let's say that his feelings for me are pure now,

but if we get together and live in the daily life of pots and pans,

and he sees that I'm not as beautiful as he had imagined,

what will I do if he backs out?

How beautiful are you in his heart?

Have you ever covered up your true self to him?

Think it over with your conscience.

Is there anything else that's embarrassing that He Yifei hasn't seen about you?

He ran around for your divorce.

You cried your eyes out in front of him.

Having seen all that, he still wants to be with you.

What is this then? It's love, woman.

Let me think it over.

Who's the one sitting next to Chairman Zheng?

Board Director Zhu, the most experienced director of the Group.

Chairman Zheng isn't the most experienced?

The board has five members.

Chairman Zheng has been in charge of the business.

Board Director Zhu rarely attends business meetings.

He focuses on the big direction.

Why is he here today?

I heard that Chairman Zheng invited him to listen to Wanli's quarterly sales report.

I don't know what he's doing.

Today, I'm honored to have invited Board Director Zhu.

Indeed. For our small operation at Wanli, the Group is able

to especially invite Board Director Zhu here,

as a General Manager, I'm flattered.

How is Wanli considered small?

The entire Board of Directors believes Wanli has the most potential

among the entire Lia Group.

Not to mention I have a bet with General Manager Ding.

I invited Board Director Zhu to be here to be fair, just, and open.

Board Director Zhu knows that I like everything to be clear and thorough.

When the time comes, I don't want anyone to file a complaint against me to the Group

about malpractice. That would be bad.

I'm not in charge of business matters.

But Chairman Zheng told me

there is a problem with Wanli's management.

He asked me to come and take a look.

So, I am here to listen.

Don't mind me.

Just follow the normal reporting process.

Okay.

Board Director Zhu, let me briefly introduce Wanli's sales performance in the past three months.

Although Wanli's total marketing budget for the past three months was less than ¥‎3 million,

but we mobilized all the forces and resources that we could call up.

We launched the concept of a marketplace

and an online e-commerce app.

And we've achieved very good results. You can see it.

[Travel Flow | Sales Volume | Sales Rate]

[Sales Performance]

Not bad at all.

You jumped out of the conventional marketing model

and caught the new hot topic nowadays.

That's worth commending.

Board Directors, since we've successfully achieved the targe this quarter,

will General Manager Ding's agreement on the bet take effect now?

Hold on.

Although the sales performance has improved,

but our Lia Group has always paid attention to people's character.

I still need to verify some information

with Chairman Ding and Director Guan.

TL's Peter filed a complained to our company,

saying you wanted to cancel their store because of personal grudges.

Is that true?

I heard about it. That's true.

Guan Wen, didn't you exit TL in very unpleasant circumstances?

That's true.

- What's the matter? - That's really bad, then.

You are sitting high up at Wanli,

but you do things with personal emotions.

That's very unprofessional of you.

Then, TL's complaint is true?

Yes.

- It's true that I rejected TL's contract renewal. All the terms- - Look at her. She's already admitted.

As the board director in charge of business,

I request the board to deal seriously with Wanli's business development team.

Chairman Zheng, you are being impatient.

Why didn't you wait for Guan Wen to finish?

Fine. Just keep talking.

I'll see how you'll explain yourself.

I refused TL for three reasons.

First of all, they've been at Wanli for two years,

but they've kept using the simple decor of a temporary store.

During that time, we actively recommended three times that they should renovate.

We even wanted to extend the contract for a long term, but they always refused.

There are emails to prove everything about this.

Secondly, their sales performance on the first floor of Wanli has always ranked at the bottom.

Even after we upgraded the mall's brands,

their performance only decreased rather than increased.

Therefore, I think the positioning of this brand doesn't match our mall.

Thirdly, during the past year, Wanli launched many events, big and small,

but TL always refused to cooperate.

Based on the above three points, I decided we didn't need to renew the contract with this brand.

To sum it all up, because of your personal grudges against TL,

that's why you firmly decided to kick them out.

Director Lei, what you say is unfair.

You've seen it before.

When I first came to Wanli, I begged them to renew the contract every day.

Why didn't anyone say Peter and I have any personal grudges?

Losing one brand means one extra hole in the sales performance.

No matter what you say about TL,

it is a leading brand in the affordable luxury world.

So I don't understand, without having a replacement as backup,

why were you so rushed to terminate their contract?

Since I took that step, of course, I was prepared in advance.

Feishang Group has the hottest brand in affordable luxury now, called Kolda.

Do you still like this brand?

Why didn't you tell me about it in advance?

Director Lei,

do I need to report to you about activities in the Business Development Department?

Aren't you in charge of Operations?

For this project, I reported to General Manager Ding during the entire process of business development.

And this decision was jointly made by me and Genral Manager Ding.

That's right.

Board Director Zhu, do you think this is acceptable?

I know about the Kolda brand.

Old Zheng,

I agree with Ding Ning and Guan Wen's decision.

Using it to replace TL is perfectly fine.

Old Zheng, don't worry about TL.

Kolda's growth trend is much better.

Chairman Zheng is so insistent on discussing TL's contract renewal.

Allow me to make a guess.

Could it be that their Brand Development Director, Peter,

promised you something?

Guan Wen, you don't have any proof. Don't frame me.

How do you know I don't have any proof?

Someone reported to me anonymously

that Chairman Zheng and Director Lei

accepted Peter's expensive gifts.

That's why they are here fighting hard for a chance to renew TL's contract.

I didn't do it. Absolutely not.

It's late. Go to bed.

Guan Wen, let's talk about the renewal of TL's contract tomorrow.

I think you are too arbitrary. This is not good.

He's crazy.

Lei Kesen has never been interested in the brand contracts.

Why is he so interested in business development?

He isn't interested in business development.

He's only interested in TL.

A few days ago, I didn't renew contracts with some other brands either.

He never even said a single word about them.

An envelope was outside when I came in.

Speaking of Lei Kesen, since he suddenly cares about

something that is unrelated to him, there must be something fishy.

Maybe he accepted some goodies from them?

Why are you smiling?

Old Zheng, look at these.

It is so easy to forge photos now.

If I'm talking nonsense,

there must be evidence to verify.

But I believe since someone reported it anonymously,

they must have more evidence.

If you think these are not genuine, I suggest that you call the police

What was it that Chairman Zheng just said?

The Group emphasizes on employees' character. Isn't that right?

Old Zheng,

follow me to my office.

Ding Ning,

and Guan Wen.

Good for you!

A total victory!

When did you receive the anonymous report?

It's a secret.

Who gave you the secret?

What should we eat?

Let's have a feast.

Let's have a celebration dinner then. Thank you everyone.

Sure.

Everyone has worked hard. Thank you all. Come!

- Thank you, General Manager Ding. - Cheers!

Come.

- Cheers. - Thanks.

- Thank you, General Manager Ding. - I won't touch yours.

Thank you.

Go ahead and drink.

I'd like to propose a toast to General Manager Ding.

The fact that Wanli exceeded our target this year, the credit is all yours.

You always speak well, Cathy. Thank you.

Flatterer. It has nothing to do with her. Keeps running over here.

So shameless.

Isn't it boring to drink alone? Let's play a game.

Okay. I know a game that will twist your brain.

It's a lot of fun.

That's easy to guess.

Is this game a brain-twister?

Is it fun?

- That's awesome! - You're not bad at all.

Next group!

Me, and General Manager Ding.

- I don't play games. Not me. - General Manager Ding.

- General Manager Ding. Please do us a favor. - General Manager Ding.

No, you all go ahead and have fun.

- General Manager Ding! General Manager Ding! - You are all pressuring him.

General Manager Ding! General Manager Ding!

Why don't we all play?

How can we three play?

General Ding against the two of us.

[River Snail Noodles]

River snail noodles.

Probationary period.

Sleep in.

Lose your temper.

Workaholic.

- Never admit defeat. - I thought General Manager Ding had been flirting with Cathy.

Why does he have such a strong tacit understanding with Director Guan?

General Manager Ding, can you describe it in more detail?

How am I supposed to guess?

Why can she guess right then?

[I like you]

We... Is our boss in a relationship with General Manager Ding?

You two work well together.

General Manager Ding and Director Guan!

General Manager Ding, can I borrow you for five minutes?

I have something to tell you.

What do you want to say to my boyfriend?

What did you say?

- You didn't hear me? - I didn't hear you.

Is that clear?
