[Episode 19]

Have some water.

The afternoon schedule will be packed.

You might want to rest now.

I'm just here to visit.

It shouldn't take much energy.

Have you been to Beijing since graduation?

Yes, I have.

Why wouldn't I?

I didn't mean anything.

Just asking.

Ms. Ding, is this how you normally are at work?

Rest assured, Mr. Gan.

I treat all clients equally.

Then take your time

to get to know the current LT in Beijing.

Through everyone's relentless efforts,

LT.DT6.0 has achieved great results...

[LT Beijing Branch] [Corporate Development Strategy Plan]

meeting our projected mid-term goals.

We should be proud of this.

Next,

we need to make even better products.

Improve every aspect of the design

and material used in the shoes.

So, I hope

our upcoming R&D should focus

on perfecting every minor detail of the shoe design

while continuing to explore midsole technology.

From uppers to insoles, even the shoelaces,

everything should be upgraded

to the most user-friendly design.

I believe consumers will see our sincerity

if we put our hearts into this.

[Feng Sheng]

I'll be back in the country next week.

Where are you?

Available to meet?

Sorry.

I happened to see it when I woke up.

How has Feng Sheng been lately?

He's doing well. Thanks for asking.

He hasn't been living in Hong Kong, China?

No.

I thought you two were...

Mr. Gan, are you very interested in our relationship?

Just checking up on old friends.

Nothing wrong with checking up on old friends.

But showing concern for an ex-girlfriend seems a bit odd.

The place is quiet during the daytime.

But at midnight,

a huge group of demons appear

in the corners, behind the stairs,

in the ladders,

and on the ceiling.

Read by yourself for now.

Hello?

Ms. Song, Mr. Deng went to the hotel.

Okay, I see.

Who is it?

Sir, your laundry is done.

You've got the wrong person.

Wait a moment.

In a minute.

Who is it?

Mingmei, Mingmei!

No, don't.

Mingmei, are you insane? What are you doing?

Who's the insane one?

What's going on here?

Mingmei, let me explain.

Explain?

Does this even need an explanation?

Talk to my lawyer.

Mingmei, give me another chance.

What chance?

A chance to cheat?

You better sign this,

or don't blame me for being ruthless.

Mr. Gan.

It's just...

Spit it out.

Don't be so hesitant.

Mr. Gan.

Be careful of Ms. Ding.

Just now, you fell asleep on the way.

I saw her trying to touch your face.

Really?

Yes... Really.

I wouldn't lie to you.

Don't let her take advantage of you.

What did you say?

Then why did you make that face...

You've been pretty idle lately.

No, I've been really busy.

Alright.

Check on Ms. Ding's situation

since she arrived in Hong Kong, China,

compile it into a report,

and give it to me tomorrow morning.

Got it.

Mr. Gan,

which aspect do you mean?

What do you think?

I see.

Rest assured.

I'll go back

to the group and find the HR director soon.

He has a wide network.

I'll make sure to find out everything

about Ms. Ding's work situation,

marriage, and social records.

Including any males who have been around her...

Alright.

Focus on driving.

[World Trail Running Tour]

[Exclusive Signing Ceremony] Let's go get ready.

Just now, the leader talked to me.

He's taking this very seriously.

Mr. Gan,

here's the information you requested.

Got them in the shortest possible time.

Okay, I'll give you a bonus.

I'll get back to work then.

Go ahead.

Unmarried.

[Marital Status: Unmarried]

The exclusive online broadcasting rights signing ceremony

for the 2024 World Trail Running Tour

has officially started.

Mr. Gan, please look at the camera.

Mr. Gan, please look this way.

Mr. Gan, a quick glance here.

Mr. Gan, over here.

Thank you.

[2024 World Trail Running Tour]

[Exclusive Online Broadcasting Signing Ceremony]

Mr. Gan,

why is LT expanding its business

into event broadcasting?

This is a new venture for us.

It's also a key part of LT's sports matrix.

Tong.

The lab is just the first step.

I also want to create a running shoe matrix,

integrating online and offline.

Only then can we make shoes that truly fit everyone.

Gan Yang,

you've achieved all your dreams.

Do I really have to make you bow to capital?

My pleasure.

See that?

LT has grown into a viper

right under our noses!

Useless idiots!

What good are any of you?

Cat got your tongues?

Heard that the Wang's in Shanghai

intends to enter the sports industry.

Their investment in the Training Box

hit a wall with Gan Yang.

If we can connect with the Wang's

and secure their financing,

crushing LT won't be a problem.

Is the information accurate?

A classmate of mine works at the Wang's.

Solid intel.

Get right on it.

We must reach out to the Wang's

before Gan Yang gives them the nod.

Yes, sir.

Go now!

Mr. Gan.

Where is Ms. Ding?

She had something to do and left.

She said you can call her

if you need anything.

Okay, I see.

You can go back to work.

[Gan Yang]

Are you free?

How about having dinner together?

He invited me to have dinner at his villa.

This is a great opportunity.

Play the emotional card

and secure the big order.

I don't want to go.

Why not?

It's a perfect opportunity.

But I think

it wasn't easy for him to get to where he is today.

Who has it easy?

It wasn't easy for you to get where you are today either.

Come on.

Don't soften up so quickly, Ding Zhitong.

He's just an ordinary client of yours now.

And you're just

an ordinary person trying to get a promotion.

Let me think about it.

Babe,

dress up and knock his socks off.

Bye.

Check this out,

the dress and the coat.

Will this work for tomorrow?

Welcome to "Heart-to-Heart".

Let's connect our first listener.

Hello, host.

My boyfriend broke up with me out of the blue.

One day he invited me to a candlelit dinner,

and the next day he vanished.

We've been together for three years.

I really can't let go.

I want to go find him and ask why.

Understood.

I think you shouldn't rush to ask him.

Instead, ask yourself

if the hurt he caused you is salvageable.

Ding Zhitong, stop being pathetic.

Sir,

make a U-turn up ahead.

But we're not at Landing Villas yet.

Change of plans.

We're going to Qingbei.

Tong?

- Tong. - Sorry.

Here, dry yourself.

Thanks.

You're already here.

Why did you cancel on me?

I... I suddenly didn't feel like going.

I'm married now.

It's not proper for just the two of us to have dinner together.

Is that so?

I don't know why you brought me to Beijing.

But I'm only here

for the Training Box project.

Tong,

must you always be like this?

There's something I haven't told you...

I don't want to hear it.

It's been so many years.

There's no need to bring it up again.

Tong.

Here.

♪I hold out my hands, bare as the day♪

Thank you.

♪I let you go, yet memories stay♪

Your boyfriend is so hot.

Have you been together since college?

How many years have you been together?

Did you come here today to revisit old haunts?

I really envy you.

I'm about to graduate.

I'm going back to my hometown.

But my boyfriend's staying in Beijing.

We'll probably break up.

How did you two escape the curse

of breaking up after graduation?

We broke up too.

Senior,

I think you'll get back together soon.

He hasn't left yet

because he's worried you'll get caught in the rain.

Senior?

Senior!

Senior!

Your girlfriend is really drunk.

How much for the drinks?

I'll pay you.

Don't worry about it.

She paid for all the drinks.

Okay.

Tong.

Don't touch me.

Come on.

Sit up.

Come on.

Let's go.

Stand still. I'll get the bag.

Let's go.

Almost there.

Come on.

I'm fine.

Don't...

We're here.

95011.

That's my birthday!

Why do you use my birthday as the passcode?

Change it!

Fine.

I'll change it tomorrow, alright?

Let's get inside.

Come on.

It's okay.

Tong,

your coat is soaked.

Why don't you take it off?

Don't call me Tong.

Whether I take it off or not is none of your business.

You'll catch a cold in wet clothes.

I won't take it off! Not your business!

I don't want Gan Yang to see the dress underneath.

Go away!

Go away.

I want some water.

Okay, I'll get you some.

Will this work for tomorrow?

Is that a new dress?

I bought it specially.

Elders

like girls to look neat.

So I went with a white dress.

You're awake.

Perfect timing. Food's ready.

Come eat some.

Sorry for the trouble last night.

It's nothing.

Here, have some soup.

It'll help with the hangover.

Did I say anything strange yesterday?

Strange things?

I talk nonsense when I'm drunk.

Whatever I said,

don't take it seriously.

Is there something you don't want me to hear?

I'm afraid I might have said something inappropriate

and offended you,

making you mad.

After all, you are my biggest client now, Mr. Gan.

I've been to many places with you these past few days.

I think LT Group has expanded its business

a bit too widely.

Only the factories and stores

are profitable right now.

If there were external funding...

I didn't bring you to Beijing

to hear this.

Then what do you want to hear?

Seems you've forgotten after all.

All the stores,

factories, labs,

Training Box, livestream platforms,

and the Designer Union website,

all these industries together

form the running shoe matrix I told you about back then.

I won't let any capital influence it.

It must continue to develop

as I envisioned.

But voting rights and board seats

are negotiable with the Wang's.

It won't affect the matrix.

Ding Zhitong, drop this project.

My company also has investment and financing projects.

I want you to handle all of them.

I know you've always aimed

for MD.

Tong, I remember everything you've said.

In that case,

we have nothing more to discuss.

I'll go back to the hotel.

I have other work to do.

I know you didn't marry Feng Sheng.

And I was never with Xu Chenxi.

That was all a lie

to push you away.

Tong,

to me,

nothing between us has changed.

I've never stopped loving you.

Your relationship with Xu Chenxi

means nothing to me.

You haven't changed.

But I have.

I've already married Feng Sheng.

Please

stop interfering in my life.

You haven't.

You're not married.

Your company profile says you're unmarried.

During your five years at Gutong Securities,

no one has ever seen Feng Sheng.

And he's in the United States, not in Hong Kong, China!

No one has ever seen his girlfriend!

Am I right?

We're in a secret marriage.

Do I need to explain that to you?

I've been flying to the United States to see him often.

Check my flight records if you don't believe me.

You're lying.

Believe what you want.

You tried to touch my face in the car that day.

You showed up at the convenience store.

And you wore the white dress.

You did all this because you still love me.

I don't believe you feel nothing for me.

Seems I played my part well.

What do you mean?

What do I mean?

I mean it was all an act.

It was all fake. I was playing you!

It was all for the Training Box project.

The white dress,

the "chance meeting" at the convenience store,

and getting drunk,

I did all this for Training Box.

I wanted to soften you up!

I thought I'd wake up

to a signed financing contract

on my nightstand.

Turns out I don't know you as well as I thought.

Your heart is much harder than I thought.

I refuse to believe you've become like this.

It's been six years.

You think you still know me?

For work,

I'll do whatever it takes.

Then call Feng Sheng now.

Let me ask him.

Haven't you made enough of a scene, Gan Yang?

Call Feng Sheng and then what?

Force him to divorce me?

Even if we divorce, it's not going to be you.

If it weren't for Training Box,

I wouldn't even want to see you.

Hey, beautiful, where to?

Let me give you a ride.

I want to go home.

Coming with me?

Together? Sure.

Get in.

Mr. Gan.

Let's go.

Are you sure this is the right way?

This doesn't look familiar at all.

Alright, Missy.

I'll use the navigation then.

To Oriental Manhattan.

That car behind us seems to be

tailing us.

It's from Gan Yang's company.

I thought you two fell out in Beijing.

Why's he still tailing us?

Just ignore him.

Keep driving.

Let's see how long he can last.

[Oriental Manhattan]

Let's go.

Come on.

Gan Yang, why are you following me here?

Following you?

You live here?

So do I.

Bought it two years ago.

You knew this was my dream neighborhood.

Did you do this on purpose?

What did I do on purpose?

Ding Zhitong,

I can live wherever I want.

I don't need your approval.

If it bothers you so much, you're free to move out.

No one's stopping you.

Mr. Gan, you're really nostalgic.

Tong, let's not be like him.

We need to move forward.

Don't waste your anger on someone who doesn't matter.

Not worth it.

You're right.

Let's go.

Calm down.

Don't waste your emotions

on an ex.

Just pretend he doesn't exist.

Or you could move in with me?

Save yourself the headache.

Tong?

No need. That'd be too much trouble.

I'll just pretend he doesn't exist.

Your husband seems pretty good.

But listen,

if he ever wrongs you,

make sure he leaves with nothing!

We're finalizing it tomorrow.

Never thought getting married abroad would be such a hassle.

Divorce would have to be done abroad too.

What are you talking about?

You can't say things like that.

I'm really getting a divorce.

He cheated on me.

I caught him in the act

with my people.

I even slapped the divorce agreement in his face.

Really?

Mingmei.

Help me take care of Yulin these days.

She's been asking to see you.

Don't worry. I'm here.

I'm fine.

It's just

that I always thought I had good judgment.

Turns out I was wrong.

It's okay.
