[Broker]

[Episode 20]

Bro, the hotpot didn't taste good today.

I will take you to another restaurant.

My coworker recommended it.

It is delicious.

It is very spicy but won't burn.

What's wrong?

You are not your normal self today.

What is abnormal?

You are hostile towards Qiu Jianing

and you are not hiding it. What do you want?

Why did you bring her here then?

She knows that you are my sister and she is my girlfriend.

Would it make sense to you if I distance her like how I did before?

I don't like her.

I didn't ask for you to like her.

But your hostility will make her suspect.

Are you afraid of her suspecting you,

or are you afraid it will hurt your relationship?

I told you.

I'm dating Qiu Jianing to gain her trust.

When you are talking to her,

your voice and your expression

aren't those of someone who is pretending.

You can't trick me.

Even if I am in love,

it's still impossible.

My mom is still in Uncle Zha's hands.

I've been living like a rat

for all these years.

I don't have a family or friends.

I don't want to live like this anymore,

but I don't have any other way.

If I don't listen to Uncle Zha,

my mother will die.

Brother,

I didn't know that...

Don't say anything.

Uncle Zha asked you to spy on me so we can finish the task earlier.

So stop doing things that will make it fail, okay?

I didn't tell Uncle Zha about you and her.

I'm just afraid of losing you.

Losing me?

You are the only person I can rely on and trust

ever since I was a kid.

I'm just scared that, after the tasks are done, you will abandon me.

I don't know what to do.

Silly girl.

You are my sister and you always will be.

Really?

[INGYM]

Are you not working today?

I heard that you are free today, so I came right away.

Go change.

Wait. We should change how we do things.

I want to fight you fair and square.

What are you trying to pull this time?

Getting beaten up on purpose and tell on me to my boss?

No. Last time, I was...

I wanted you to be my sparring partner.

I didn't want to tell on you.

What do you really want?

Fight fair and square.

So you can see what I got.

How is it? I've been practicing hard.

Do you really think last-minute practices work?

It hurts! It hursts!

Do you admit defeat?

I wanted to say that it's a tie if I lasted ten seconds.

I lasted twelve.

Why do this to yourself? It's just a fight for fun.

I don't want the girl I like to look down on me.

Drink it.

Li Ruiming, I don't deserve you to like me.

You do.

You don't know me at all.

You don't know yourself very well.

You look mean,

but you are very kind.

You are the first person who said I'm kind, ever.

You have no idea how others treat me in my company.

They look at me with bias.

The boss bullies me and oppresses me.

He doesn't treat me like a person, unlike you, Mo Li.

You taught me how to fight back.

If it weren't for you,

I wouldn't know

what self-esteem is right now.

That's why you are special to me, Mo Li.

- I-- - Liu Ruiming.

If you are willing, just see me as your sister.

The best way to reject someone

is to ask to become someone's family.

You are my sister, and you will always be.

So we have no chance, do we?

Let me ask you. How does a man love a woman?

Like how I do it.

I think about you all day, every day.

I think about you when I wake up.

I want to see you smile, I want to train and fight with you.

The first thing that comes to my mind is to be with you.

Mo Li, did I not make it obvious?

So I was lied to this whole time?

What are you saying?

Mo Li!

Don't follow me!

Patent application.

It's a commercial secret. Get lost.

What? What's so amazing about it?

Why are you eating again?

I'm trying to lose weight. It's Wo Long's meal bar.

Why are you trying to lose weight?

My master said I'm fat. He's been on it all the time.

And you just do whatever your master says.

Do you like him or what?

How is that possible? I'm not going to like him.

Why were you spacing out, Sis?

Nothing.

Let me ask you. Are you close with Zhou Xiaoshan's sister?

Of course. She is my trainer.

How is she?

I think she is nice. We like each other.

She's cold outside and kind inside.

If she's Zhou Xiaoshan's sister, she should be living abroad.

What is she doing here?

I asked her the same question.

She said there are more opportunities here, so she came here to make a living.

You have no idea how adaptive she is. Not only did she find a job,

she also found a boyfriend.

- And she told you all that? - Yeah.

We are besties now. She tells me everything.

[Inpatient]

Mo Li, what brought you here?

Are you sick?

No. I'm just asking

if your sister's lab has been busy.

My brother hasn't got the time to talk to me.

I'm afraid that he's hiding things from me.

I don't know a lot of people here, so I can only come to find you.

I think my sister's lab is applying for a patent.

I think that's what they are working on.

Applying for a patent?

My sister was doing that yesterday and being all mysterious.

- Do you know when are they applying? - I don't know about that.

What? Anything wrong?

I'm just asking.

Since my brother is busy, I won't go and find him.

I will wait until he's done.

I heard my sister say

that they are turning in the patent applications next Monday.

They should be done by next week.

What's wrong?

A playboy.

Look.

He used to be your brother's love competitor.

He's my teacher. The one that's next to him

is probably his new target.

Why are you so upset?

Don't you find that men change so quickly?

When he was pursuing my sister, he said all sorts of embarrassing things.

It's not even two months yet, and he's liking someone else.

I thought your sister didn't like him.

He has a new target,

and you get so angry like he owes you something.

Stop it!

Why should I like him? He's so old.

[Plan-O Lab]

[Information Loading]

Jianing, you will need to go on a trip.

Something happened in Guangzhou. Sun Lei and I both need to go.

Okay. Don't worry.

[Information Loading] [Loading Completed]

- What's wrong? Something wrong with the experiment? - No.

I heard you, Professor Wang, and Professor Sun,

have been having secret meetings recently.

Is there something wrong with the experiments?

We were discussing the patent application for next week.

Are you saying Plan-O formula is finished?

After testing, we added a sustained-release co-factor debugging,

which proves that it works on cancerous mice.

It feels odd.

What's up?

I participated in every step of the research, and now that the formula is finished,

I don't even know what it is.

Zhou Xiaoshan, if you knew the formula

and someone offered a very high price to pay for it, would you be willing to sell it?

What? Is someone trying to use you?

Professor Wang told me that there was once an international pharmaceutical company that contacted us

and wanted to participate in the research.

It was a very nice offer.

That's what I also found odd.

Even though Original Life is one of the top pharmaceutical companies in our country,

we are still lacking when it comes to the environment and the funding

if we compare to the international companies.

Why did Professor Wang refuse to work with the big pharma companies?

It's simple. It's funded in China.

Science doesn't have borders.

That's what I thought in the beginning as well.

What do you mean?

I asked Professor Wang the same thing. Science has no borders.

Then, why do we insist that Plan-O be made in China?

- Professor Wang said that... - Science doesn't have borders.

But scientists have home countries.

When our country can

offer better platforms and resources to its scientists,

so they see a better future,

then scientists would want to go back to their home countries

and give all they've learned to their countries,

instead of being a second-class citizen in a lab from another country

and even have to do something despicable.

So that's why you insist on having Plan-O be made in China.

That's right.

Plan-O can help China step on the world stage.

Our scientists and researchers can be proud wherever they are in the world.

I understand. As a scientist,

if I only think about myself when working on a project, then I can only prove my own abilities.

After me, there will be a second and a third Qiu Jianing

suffering from what I have suffered.

That is right.

So, since it's a Chinese project,

people from this land have to get the benefits first.

Jianing, I'm glad that you think this way.

So you are saying Professor Wang is trying to get Plan-O to be made in China.

That's right.

Speaking of which, you have yet to answer my question, Professor Qiu.

Is there really someone who is trying to use you?

No condition will change my mind,

because nothing will make me step outside of my morals.

Okay.

What about you?

I am the same as you, Professor Qiu. I will protect Plan-O with you.

They don't have the plan to apply for the patent?

That's weird.

Professor Wang is probably trying to expand the scope of the patent.

Xiaoshan, we don't have much time.

I understand, Uncle Zha.

Mo Li, Xiaoshan is lying to me.

My brother said that the lab is not applying for the patent?

But Qiu Jiaxing...

Maybe I got it wrong.

Maybe my brother is planning something.

No, he lied to me!

Mo Li, listen.

We have to make the move next Monday.

Okay, Uncle Zha. I will do as you say.

You are my sister and you always will be.

The best way to reject someone is to ask to become someone's family.

Brother,

so there's no chance between us. Right?

If Qiu Jianing didn't exist,

we wouldn't become like this.

What are you doing here?

Hello, Sister Jianing. My brother is sick. Could you come over?

Zhou Xiaoshan is sick?

- He didn't say anything. - He is feeling dizzy. - What are you trying to do?

I can't wake him up. Come over now!

I'm coming.

- What are you trying to do? - Qiu Jianing is on her way to apply for the patent.

She will come with the formula.

- You... - Why did you lie to Uncle Zha?

- I have my own plans. - Whatever. Uncle Zha doesn't trust you now.

We need to work together and finish our mission.

That way, Uncle Zha can still forgive you.

Mo Li...

- What are you doing? - Have Qiu Jianing drink this.

She will pass out in two minutes once she drinks it.

Once we get the formula, we can leave.

Are you crazy?

- Give it to me. - No!

- Give it to me! - No!

Zhou Xiaoshan!

Zhou Xiaoshan!

- Zhou Xiaoshan! - Don't you move.

- Are you okay? - I'm fine.

Really?

You came, Sister Jianing. Come in. - Jianing.

- Have some water. - I'm fine. Are you really okay?

I'm fine! I was just deep asleep. Mo Li was calling and I didn't pick up.

She thought something happened to me, so she called you.

- As long as you are okay. - Get back to work.

Sister Jianing, I'm so sorry for calling you here for nothing.

Have some water first.

The water's cold. Let me get you a hot one.

It's fine. I have to go.

Be careful.

- You can go as well. - You are crazy.

I said that I have other plans.

You don't want Qiu Jianing to hate you, right?

If we do it now, you will be the only suspect.

You don't want Qiu Jianing to hate you, and you don't want her to find out about who you really are. Why?

- Brother, you are in love with her. Right? - Yes!

I am in love with her.

I didn't want to but I couldn't help it!

- Where are you going? - I am going to kill her.

- Are you mad? - You've changed, Brother!

You've never made mistakes! Now you are failing because of this woman!

I am a human, not a machine!

I can't control my emotions!

I don't want you to love someone else!

You can't be in love with someone else!

Mo Li, I know

about how you feel and I always knew it.

But we are impossible, you are my sister.

- I don't want to be your sister. I don't want to be your sister! - In my heart, you are my sister.

No! She came after me.

- Why her? - It has always been her.

There's no order.

Even if you kill me now,

I would say the same thing.

Mo Li, I can't even stop myself from loving someone.

How can I force myself to love you?

Listen to me. I will always be your brother.

Always.

Okay. The matter regarding Qiu Jianing,

stop interfering with it.

Bro, are you that serious about being together with her?

I love her.

How about your mom?

Have you thought about how Uncle Zha will punish you?

Before the mission is complete, Uncle Zha won't touch my mom.

- You've gone crazy. - I haven't gone crazy.

I am very clear-headed.

Because Uncle Zha promised me that, as long as I complete this mission,

I will never have to work for him again.

[InGym]

Sorry. Teacher Mo Li hasn't been to work for three days.

Three days? What is she doing?

We don't know either. We called her many times, but she never picked up.

[Professional training]

[If you have dreams, then go for it! Recruiting]

♫ Like a leaf, leaving the north wind season ♫

♫ I leave your world ♫

♫ I hide myself in plain sight, but you ignore me ♫

♫ The determination of not giving any messages ♫

♫ But I can still vaguely hear your promise ♫

♫ It breaks apart ♫

♫ Kissing to stop me from saying goodbye ♫

♫ The love I give, it seethes with excitement, even if I bury it ♫

♫ I exist for you, don't try to pull me back to shore ♫

♫ Shaking me awake, my love ♫

♫ I will fight for you, wait for my return ♫

♫ Don't let go ♫

Why aren't you picking up the phone? The company said you hadn't been to work in three days.

What happened?

I'm sick.

I'm sorry. I was just anxious.

Let me take you to get a checkup.

No need. Did you need me for something?

Don't go.

Just treat me like an ordinary friend.

As friends, it's normal for me to care about you.

- Eat up. - I'm not hungry.

You just recovered. You need nutrition.

Why are you being so nice to me?

Because you're nice to me.

I'm nice to you?

I'm so mean to him, yet he likes me.

I care about Brother Xiaoshan so much.

Yet he likes Qiu Jianing.

[President Wang]

Answer it.

Hello, President Wang.

Yes, I took a day off.

Right now?

I really can't right now.

If you want to fire me, then fire me. I've had enough!

Did you not go to work all day just because you were looking for me?

Eat up, or else the food will get cold.

Liu Ruiming, I don't deserve you to be so nice to me.

You don't understand me at all.

I am a bad person.

Well...

Do you know, in the office,

no matter my co-workers or customers,

they are all hypocrites.

Wearing masks and pretending to be good.

Mo Li, you're not the same. You're really not the same as them.

You know that every time you say something to me,

you're always honest.

You're not a bad person. You're a good person.

The boss treats me like that.

I shouldn't be nice to him either. This is what you taught me.

Mo Li.

I'm sorry. I lost control.

I won't ever do that again. Before we get together,

I won't ever touch you again. Okay?

I'm sorry. Trust me. You're still not fully recovered.

Please have a seat and have some food, okay?

I'm begging you. I'm in the wrong.

You're right.

Whoever let me down, I will get back at them.

Jiaxin, is Dr. Qin pursuing Weiwei?

He can do whatever he wants. It has nothing to do with me.

- Are you upset? - Why would I be upset?

To be honest, initially,

we all shipped you with Dr. Qin.

Sister Cheng, you are not in your right mind.

- Is there really nothing going on? - No.

I am in my best years

to love a man much older than me.

Then, that's good. That's good.

Sister Cheng, what are you talking about with my apprentice?

You were smiling so hard.

Don't joke with me.

I was asking about whether Jiaxin had a boyfriend.

Really? Jiaxin, do you have a boyfriend?

You don't. How can she have a boyfriend?

If she has a boyfriend, would she walk around in front of me all the time?

She'd be so annoying, you know?

Okay, okay. Since she doesn't have one, then I'll reply to him.

What happens afterward... it'll depend on what these young ones want to do.

Sister Cheng, I leave my apprentice's happiness in your hands.

Okay.

Jiaxin.

Qin Bin, don't you find that there is something a little wrong with your apprentice?

She's fine. She's a girl. It happens every month.

She wasn't like this before.

You've finished these so quickly?

Don't you know? I just knew you didn't.

Let me tell you a secret.

Do you see her?

It's her. Her.

What are you talking about?

Nothing much.

Xiaoxiao's family encountered this, what to do?

Jianing.

- Did you hear? - What happened?

It seems like something happened to Xiaoxiao's dad.

The president of the pharmaceutical company?

- What happened? - It's said to be business bribery, he was caught last night.

Morning.

What her father did was so immoral. He should be executed.

What do you mean by that?

What? What's wrong with you?

Do you not know what you just sent?

I just sent the wrong text. Why are you acting up?

Do you know my dad? You don't even know what happened and yet you're talking nonsense!

I don't understand nor know your dad, but I understand the law.

Also, what did I say?

Do you have a recording of it? Do you have evidence?

I've heard about what happened. Are you all right?

It's fine.

If there's anything I can help with, please let me know.

Thanks.

Wait a moment.

If you want to cry, cry here before going out.

People will laugh at you if they see it.

Qiu Jianing, are you really happy seeing me like this?

Don't think of yourself as someone really important.

I don't have the time.

Here.

I remember when I first came here, you were the same as others.

You must've talked about me behind my back.

At that time, were you also like me now? Did you hide and cry?

No. I won't cry because of people who aren't important to me.

But I really don't know what to do.

You actually don't need to do anything.

As long as you finish the work you need to do,

they have no right to laugh at you.

After two months,

they will not be able to find anything about you to laugh about.

They'll forget about your matter.

Sister Jianing,

thanks. Thank you.

I didn't do anything. There's no need to thank me.

I... I... Can I go back to your team?

I know that I've done many wrong things.

Can you give me another chance?

Help me.

If I let you come back now, in other peoples' eyes, I'd only be pitying you.

Right now, there's no one else who can help you. If you want to recover, you must rely on yourself.

Good luck.

You repay hatred with kindness. You can help her.

Why do you make it sound like I definitely will take her back to the lab?

You won't?

- I will tell her right now. - Hey.

Look, I knew you would be this kind.

Qiu Jianing, have you heard about the story of the peasant and the snake?

I know what you're about to say.

Xie Xiaoxiao isn't actually a bad person.

Now that she has nothing,

if I don't help her up, she'll be completely helpless.

Everyone needs hope to carry on, isn't that so?

Then, how do you plan on helping her?

A couple of corns fall in love and they decide to get married.

On the day they got married...

One corn can't find the other corn.

The corn says to the popcorn next to him

"Do you see my corn"?

The popcorn says, "Darling, it's me in my wedding dress."

That's so funny!

It's okay.

No, let me tell you another one.

[Moon Bay Station]

Get in the car.

What are you looking at?

Do you have a fever? Why is your face so red?

What are you doing? You're being so touchy.

Women and men should keep a distance. Don't you know?

Women and men should keep a distance?

Brother, I'm a man. You're a man, too.

Look at yourself. Do you even look like a woman?

How do I not look like one?

I can't find any trace of a woman in you no matter where I look.

What are you doing now?

Seatbelt.

I will do it myself.

♫ Remember to say goodnight every day ♫

♫ Loving, loving, loving is, loving, love is a duty ♫

♫ What is, what is love, what do you, what do you love ♫

Weirdo.

Remember to stay away from me when we get off the car.

Did you think I wanted to get close to you?

♫ What is, what is love, what do you, what do you love. Love is the most unexplainable crossing ♫

Hey, why the long face?

Who are you mad at now?

Professor Sun, please enter.

Professor Qiu, I have something to discuss with you. It might take up some of your time.

Okay. Have a seat.

It's regarding Xie Xiaoxiao.

I hope she can come back to our research team.

Your reason?

Are you interested in listening?

In the beginning, I actually didn't like girls like Xiaoxiao.

Even though she is pretty, she is selfish and has a bad temper.

But later, without even realizing it, I started becoming attracted to her.

Maybe it's because of my background, I'm an introvert and even a little depressed.

So Xiaoxiao may look happy on the outside,

is like a light to me.

She makes me feel like life can be fun and colorful.

That's why our romantic relationship was a little immature when we were in school,

but it was beautiful.

But not long after that,

her mother found me and made it clear that

my background and age make me unsuitable for Xiaoxiao.

So... you gave up on your love?

Professor Sun, do you love her?

I love her.

I thought you loved your dignity, your pride, and yourself more.

I think love can allow a person to become braver.

But because you felt sorry for yourself, you gave her up easily.

You're right.

I've thought about it a lot these past few years.

I think I've always been trying to avoid things.

This is not what a responsible man would do.

So it was my fault.

The fact that you're aware of this, I'm happy for Xiaoxiao.

Okay, I'll let her come back,

but I have a condition.

She must enter your team.

Professor Sun, here's your chance to make up for it.

Thank you.
