[Episode 33]

What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?

You don't have an appetite? You didn't eat much at lunch.

Is there something weighing on your mind?

I just did not expect that Su Qian would be part of the due diligence team.

Don't think about it too much,

maybe it is just a coincidence.

Perhaps, but what if she purposely came here?

She's come out.

What happened? What happened?

Not much. They also didn't ask much either.

Just some questions on which school I graduated from and my work experience. Things like that.

But Jianing, Sister Qian coming back this time, I don't think it is that simple.

Why do you say so?

It is hard to say the exact details.

But when I greeted her earlier,

she seemed to purposely disassociate herself.

Don't worry about it too much.

After all, she is the investor now and she cannot act the same as she used to.

That's true.

Then, did you see that man's face?

That man is so weird.

He stood in front of the window the entire time and didn't say a word.

I couldn't see his face,

but President Huang is so respectful to him.

He must have a lot of power.

Next, Zhou Xiaoshan.

Zhou Xiaoshan.

Yes.

Tell us what work you are responsible for at Plan-O.

At Plan-O, I am responsible for the experiments related to pathology and toxicology.

Before you came to Plan-O,

you worked at the R&D Department at Merck Pharmacy.

This laboratory also dealt with the research and development of anti-cancer drugs.

Is that right?

That's correct.

Then may I know why

you gave up that advanced laboratory

and greater salary for Plan-O?

I did not want to spend my whole life in a place where I am seen as a second-class citizen.

Also, I wanted to live a different life.

That's good.

Are you satisfied with how you are currently living?

There is no perfect life, but, right now, I am very happy.

Okay. You can go.

You attended McKeeton University for your undergraduate degree.

What a coincidence, I also went there.

Since we are about the same age, we must have had some encounters at school.

Do you remember?

Think about it. This is due diligence,

any deception could impact results.

Perhaps, but I don't remember too well.

After all, the school is pretty big and it has been many years.

Yes, it has been a while.

May I leave?

Next, Qiu Jianing.

Jianing.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Qiu Jianing.

Have we met before?

Do you remember now?

You are the person I ran into while riding my bike last time.

I'm sorry. Are you okay?

I'm okay.

- Let's start. - All right.

Let me ask first.

I have some professional questions I want to ask Professor Qiu.

Professor Su, you can just call me Jianing. You don't have to be formal.

It's been almost half an hour, why hasn't Sister Jianing come down yet?

She is our leader, her time talking is probably longer.

That makes sense.

Last question, who do you think contributed the most

that allowed for Plan-O to continue?

Everyone,

including you, Professor Su, who used to work here,

made significant contributions to the project.

Jianing.

Why are you still here?

What did you guys talk about for so long?

Nothing, just reporting on the project.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

The due diligence is over. Go back to work.

Okay.

Wait a moment.

Zhou Xiaoshan.

I am trying to remember

if we had any encounters during college.

You like that?

Yes.

What a coincidence.

I know someone who also liked this.

See you, Zhou Xiaoshan.

Sister Qian.

How long will you be staying here this time?

If you need any help,

please let me know.

Sister Qian.

Don't worry, I will call if I need anything.

Okay, let me send you off.

Do you feel it? Zhou Xiaoshan is scared.

What do you plan to do next?

Have you heard of the ancient capital punishment of Lingchi? (T/N: death by slow slicing)

The criminal suffers thousands of cuts as they slowly and painfully die.

He usually handles things decisively, but I won't let him have his way.

You want to slowly torture him?

Doesn't he want to start a new life?

Professor Su, thank you for working really hard today.

I don't have anything else, you can go back.

Mr. Yuan, I have something to ask you.

Are you and Zhou Xiaoshan old acquaintances?

Was I that obvious?

I never understood

why you would help me go against Qiu Jianing.

But if you are here because of Zhou Xiaoshan,

then everything makes sense. Right?

Professor Su guessed correctly, Zhou Xiaoshan is my enemy.

Enemy?

But you guys must've come from two different worlds,

why did you guys become enemies?

I hate him for stealing my wife.

Professor Su, do you think I should take revenge?

He stole your wife?

But Zhou Xiaoshan and Qiu Jianing—

My wife had depression because of him

and then killed herself.

I want to take revenge on Zhou Xiaoshan.

You hate Qiu Jianing.

The company wants to invest in Plan-O.

That's three birds with one stone. It's imperative.

I understand.

Mr. Ruan, I'll get going.

Do you have time for a chat?

The problems with the patient recruitment were your doing, right?

Why did you do it?

I just did what I was supposed to do in my position.

Mr. Ruan wants the management rights of Plan-O.

President Huang didn't agree at first.

Some means are necessary to gain a favorable advantage over the negotiation.

Although we had some disagreements before,

I do believe that you have some attachments to Plan-O.

I hope that you don't do things that hurt the project for the sake of Professor Wang.

Qiu Jianing, I finally understand why you came back to China.

There's not much of a future working for Harry.

I regret it, too.

Just like you said,

Plan-O's successes today are due to everyone's efforts,

including mine. Now, it's time to harvest the fruits.

Why can't I get a share of the pie?

I meant what I said during the due diligence.

You're welcome to have a share of the pie.

But I hope you can get it in the correct ways.

Was your way before correct?

I'm telling you!

Just because you drove me out of the laboratory, doesn't mean you have the right to talk to me like this–

I didn't drive you out.

You were the one who instructed Zheng Wei to forge the experimental data.

Whatever you say.

But even after everything, don't you still have to do as I say?

I don't do as anyone says, including Mr. Ruan.

If you are right, then we are friends.

If you do anything to harm the project,

I'll protect Plan-O at all costs.

At all costs? Are you declaring war against me?

Don't forget. I'm Tiancheng Fund's project consultant.

My word decides whether or not Mr. Ruan invests in your project.

If Tiancheng Fund doesn't invest,

do you think Original Life still has money for you to burn?

I know the company is having a crisis.

But Tiancheng Fund is such a large company,

you have Mr. Ruan above you, and he has the board of directors behind him.

It's billions of funds. I don't believe they'll let you spend whatever your want.

Okay. Then you can have a try.

Don't scare me, Professor Su.

I'm not stupid.

I know what goes on behind the scenes.

I just don't care to dirty my hands with you.

Wait.

Qiu Jianing, have you thought

about why Mr. Ruan wants the management rights by Tiancheng Fund?

Tiancheng Fund wants the management right, and also wants to station people into Plan-O.

But the profit remains the same.

Have you thought of why?

By the way, you and Ruan Wenzhao went to the same university?

Did he tell you?

He mentioned it during the interview.

Do you know him?

I don't.

That's weird.

Why is it weird?

You're about the same age as him.

And there are only about

a few hundred students at a school like McKeeton University.

How could you not recognize him?

I usually didn't like socializing with people at school.

But what a coincidence.

How did I bump into the investor while riding my bike?

Isn't it such a coincidence?

Yes, it is.

But it's okay. Fortunately, Mr. Ruan is big-hearted.

Otherwise, if it affected the company's financing, it would all be my fault.

You seem to have a good impression of Mr. Ruan.

You don't have a good impression of him?

I have no opinion of him.

Why is Mr. Ruan here again?

- Right, wasn't he just here yesterday? - Exactly!

Why does he come today?

Zhu Zhu, are they having another meeting?

Didn't they already interview the people at the lab yesterday?

Yesterday was a preliminary meeting with the core members of our project team.

Today they're doing one-on-one background investigations.

Sister Zhu Zhu, everyone's here.

Take a look at these also.

Are the documents ready?

- They're ready. He'll bring them over later. - Okay.

Mr. Ruan.

Everything's set.

Is there a problem, Mr. Ruan?

President Huang,

we're investing in your company because of Plan-O.

As of now, Plan-O hasn't gone into production.

Although its business prospect is positive,

right now we are investing

in Plan O's core technical team.

You're right.

Based on this consensus,

I think we need to require the loyalty of Plan-O's core team.

I hope every core researcher

can sign a labor contract for more than five years with the company.

And we must emphasize the non-competition agreement terms.

Mr. Ruan,

although our employment contracts are signed every three years,

you can see that

the core researchers have been with Professor Wang for more than five years.

So you don't have to worry about the stability of the team.

But as far as I know, one of the core team members, Zhou Xiaoshan,

just submitted his resignation to you a few months ago.

Did he? Why don't I know of this?

President Huang, according to our investigation, Zhou Xiaoshan

returned to City A a few months ago for some unknown reasons.

Maybe he went back to visit his relatives.

Is that right, Zhu Zhu?

I'll go check the work logs.

It's fine, President Huang.

I don't want to look into things that have already happened.

I currently only have one request.

You must ensure that nobody on the core team of Plan-O leaves.

No problem.

Everyone, carefully look at the information in your hands. Here's the situation.

Today the company wants us to ensure that the team remains as is.

So based on the previously signed labor contracts,

everyone needs to sign a supplementary agreement accordingly.

President Huang, I recognize all the characters on here,

but I don't understand what it means when the characters are put together.

Can someone explain this to me?

What President Huang means is

that he hopes we can promise to stay in the company for more than five years.

And if we leave the company in the meantime,

he hopes we won't work in the same industry

within the first two years.

President Huang, how can you doubt our loyalty to the company?

It's just a formality.

Relatively, if we do get the investment, I'll submit a request to the Finance Department

to increase everyone's benefits and pay.

All hail President Huang!

Dr. Li, it's like counting the money for someone who has sold you. Do you know that?

Wait a minute. Zhou Xiaoshan needs to resubmit some materials.

Can't you just make a copy of the previous ones?

The previous ones, such as your resume, diploma, health report,

and your criminal record are all from a year ago.

It's best if they are within the past thirty days.

Okay.

Are two weeks enough?

Yes.

Hello, who is this?

Hello, is this Mr. Zhou? Zhou Xiaoshan?

That's me.

This is Futong Law Firm, I'm Mr. Mao.

I was entrusted by Mr. Ruan, Ruan Wenzhao,

to speak to you about a personal injury accident

that happened some years ago. Are you available now?

I shot Ruan Wenzhao.

Why did you do it?

Because...

Because he was fighting with me for Xiang Lan.

You were jealous of him, so you shot him with a gun?

That's right. I did.

Do you have anything you want to explain?

One must bear the consequences of his own actions.

No.

Mr. Zhou, are you the person in this video?

Yes.

This is a bit of a problem.

This is a criminal case, and it's still during the prosecution period.

I have been entrusted by my client to initiate a lawsuit against you soon.

The Ruan family already punished me without trial.

Mr. Zhou, this is not the medieval age.

Punishment without trial cannot be above the law.

Besides, you are speaking without proof.

You say the Ruan family has already punished you.

Is there any proof?

Just say it. What does Ruan Wenzhao want?

Mr. Zhou, I know that you are discussing your contract renewal with the company now.

According to relevant documents, you must provide your police clearance from City A.

If Mr. Ruan files a lawsuit against you right now,

I'm afraid your contract renewal will be set aside.

Therefore?

Therefore, I recommend that it's best for you

to reach an out-of-court settlement with my client.

[Survival Pills]

Who's that?

So you're here.

Just say it. What are your conditions?

Go back to City A with me.

What good is it for you if I go back?

Nothing much. I just don't want to see you happy.

Do you see this?

These are the pills that I have to take every day, thanks to you, Zhou Xiaoshan.

All these years, my life has been a living hell.

You ended up this way,

you have only yourself to blame, you can't blame others.

Only myself to blame?

You say these four words so easily.

If it weren't for you years ago,

nothing would have happened to Xiang Lan.

She and I would have lived an enviable life.

But you bastard are hiding here like nothing had ever happened.

Why? You still want to be with another woman?

You do not deserve to be happy, Zhou Xiaoshan.

What exactly do you want me to do to let go of me?

It's simple.

I want you to feel pain. I want to torment you.

I want you to live in a living hell just like me. Okay?

Back then, I took that shot for Xiang Lan. You and I both know that.

So what?

Listen well, Zhao Xiaoshan. I have the witness and the evidence.

You can't get away.

It's Zha Zhicai. It's Zha Zhicai, right?

Zhou Xiaoshan, let me remind you. You still have a week.

After this week, if you still insist on staying here,

my lawyer will file a lawsuit with the police.

At that time, it will look really ugly when you leave.

I'm not going to concede defeat.

[Hospital Building 1] [Outpatient] [Emergency]

♪ Wildflowers on the roadside—♪

You scared me! Are you insane?

Aren't you off today? Why are you at the office?

Did you come to chat heart-to-heart with me?

You confessed?

No more chance? I guessed it right.

What do you mean?

You confessed, but she still went out for fun with her boyfriend.

It means you are done for. Am I being too direct?

How do you know that she went out for fun with that...?

From her post. Didn't you see it?

I don't see it.

Look here.

Why don't I have it?

Maybe... you were accidentally blocked?

You...

Jiaxin, you must pay attention to stretching your leg muscles in a while, or you'll get hurt.

Also, in the bouldering area,

you must be careful about falling outside the pad.

There must not be gaps.

Jiaxin?

Did you hear what I was saying?

Xiaoye, sorry, I was absent-minded.

I didn't sleep well last night.

What's wrong? You couldn't sleep because you worried about me?

Don't worry. The coach only scolded me. It's nothing.

It's good if it's nothing.

Xiaoye! It's ready.

Go. Let's go rock climbing.

Jiaxin!

- What a coincidence! - Why is he here again?

- You are also here to rock climb? - Why is he here?

Why do you show up everywhere?

What? Do you own this rock-climbing gym, so only you are allowed to come?

- In that case, you are a rock-climbing enthusiast? - Yep.

Huh, is he here for a challenge?

Do you dare to compete with me then?

- Yes, don't be a coward. - Don't be a coward.

Young people...

You all are too young.

What do you mean if I dare?

Old people waste time talking. Go ahead.

Don't compete. Let's just play on our own.

No.

- Compete! - Come on!

Xiaoye, you can do it! No one chickens out.

- Xiaoye, fighting! - Master.

- Sister-in-Law. - Sister-in-Law.

When a man wants to be competitive, no one can stop him.

That's right. It's fine. Xiaoye is a professional. Don't worry.

Don't worry.

- It's starting. - Is he wearing it as back support?

Xiaoye, show him how to play.

Stop talking.

Ready.

Go!

Fighting! Fighting! Xiaoye, you can do it!

Sister-in-Law, one is your boyfriend, the other is your mentor.

Who will you cheer for?

- Of course, the boyfriend. - Come down if you can't do it!

- Xiaoye, fighting! - You can do it!

Xiaoye, fighting! Hey, you oldie should just come down.

Like this, you actually call yourself a rock-climbing enthusiast?

- You aren't even a beginner! - That's right!

Master, you can do it!

Master, are you okay?

Did you hurt yourself?

I'm fine. I'm not hurt.

What does that mean?

No... Xiaoye won! Xiaoye won!

Good! Xiaoye won!

He won! He won!

Master, are you okay? Your waist?

Don't overexert yourself.

You're so old. Just stay home to grow flowers and drink tea.

You should take a break from this young people's sport.

Who said that I twisted my waist?

Something came up at the hospital, I'll leave first.

Yes, yes, yes. Hurry and go to the hospital.

- Don't delay your treatment. - Quit talking.

Hurry and get treated at the hospital. It's not good to leave it untreated.

- Bye-bye. - Take care, Master.

- Bye, Old Uncle. - Quit talking.

Jiaxin, let's go. We'll keep playing.

What's wrong?

What are you doing?

Come help me. Hurry!

You're so arrogant even when begging for help.

What happened?

Let's go to the couch.

What weird sounds are you making?

- Lie down. - Get on the couch.

Let me have a look.

- Lie down! - That's enough! I can't lie down, my waist hurts!

No, no, no. It hurts!

Are you even human?

Your waist is fine. It's just a soft tissue sprain.

How did you sprain it?

I don't want to tell you.

- What did you do? - Let go! Let go of me!

- You're not going to tell me? - No.

Then suffer.

Brother Yan, is my master back at the hospital yet?

- Jiaxin sent me a message. Guess what she said? - What did she say?

Tell me how you got injured first.

I competed in rock climbing with the little brat.

Brother, how old are you?

You get angry with a kid?

Besides, you should've competed at something that required some more skills.

Something that requires more skills? Fine. Let's go to the operation room, let's hold a scalpel.

That requires skills. Can he do it? Can he compete with me?

You're right. He can't compete with you.

But Jiaxin also doesn't care about your skills for that.

Jiaxin said,

Brother Yan, is my master back at the hospital yet?

How should I reply to her?

My waist hurts very much right now.

Say what you should say.

Look at you.

Jiaxin, your master is back.

His waist is pretty injured. Do you want to come and take a look?

That's enough. Stop pretending.

You owe me a meal.

She replied.

Okay. Tell him to get some good rest.

I'll check in with him when I go to work on Monday.

You're screwed.

She belongs to someone else now.

You should just give up.

Just wait and see.

Wait and see?

I'll go get you some medicine.

My waist! I need some help.

I need help.

It hurts!

Is yours good?

- You two are here. - Do you need something?

Zhou Xiaoshan, have you finished all the paperwork?

Are you not finished?

I've been busy recently. I forgot.

Please. The investors need to see all our renewed contracts before they invest.

We're just missing yours.

No matter how busy you are, deal with this first. Okay?

If you're too busy, do you want to find an agency to help you do it?

No need. It's almost done.

The day after tomorrow at the latest.

- What other materials do you need? Do you need me to— - I have them all.

I just need to sort them out.

Let's eat.

It's mainly on the left side. [Aoyoung Hospital]

Yes, right there.

Come in.

Who? Who is it?

Yes, right there.

What happened to you?

It's nothing. I just sprained my waist.

Can you tell the important part?

He had to compete in rock climbing with Jiaxin's boyfriend. As a result...

He sprained his waist?

- Time waits for no man. - Can you just not speak?

- Have a seat. - Thank you.

Jianing, if you keep laughing at me, I won't attend the meeting.

Okay, okay. I'm sorry.

You're really something.

You're in your thirties. What are you doing competing with a young boy?

I'm in my thirties? Can you tell I'm in my thirties if I don't tell you? I...

This is called being mature and steady.

Can kids like him who get taken to the police station even compare with me?

You're right. But Jiaxin likes him.

What can you do about it?

Jianing, help me.

Thank you.

You want me to help you?

You're so weird.

You asked my sister to help you pursue me before, and now you're asking me to help you pursue my sister?

Then, do you want Jiang Xiaoye or me to be your brother-in-law?

It doesn't matter who I like. It's about who Jiaxin likes.

She likes me.

Can you—

All right, Dr. Qin, take care of your waist first.

I want to talk to you about some serious stuff.

There'll be one more person in our meeting later.

Who?

Our company is talking to an investment company about financing.

The person in charge wants to

examine our work.

- Say something good about our company. - Oka—

Do you know how to give a massage? What are you doing?

Can you still attend the meeting like this?

I feel a bit better. What did you just do, Zhao Yan?

- Right? - I feel much better. Don't worry.

Mr. Ruan, this way. Qin Bin.

Let me introduce you. This is Qin Bin.

The deputy chief of the Oncology Department at Aoyoung Hospital.

This is Mr. Ruan. The manager of Tiancheng Fund.

They're discussing collaboration with our company.

So he's here to have a look at our daily work.

Hi, Mr. Ruan. It's nice to meet you.

You can talk amongst yourself later. Don't worry about me.

This way, please.

Thank you all for coming to the meeting today.

I'll get straight to the point.

Let me introduce to everyone

the symptoms of the trial patients we chose.

The first patient is Chen Liang. He's 64 years old.

[China Chest Pain Center]

Mr. Ruan, you should go back and get some good rest.

Your body is still weak, and your assistant is not with you.

Are you caring for me?

As you are Plan-O's most important partner,

I should care for you.

Have a meal with me.

Xiaoye, I'll come now.

Master, how's your waist?

- It's cold! - Don't move.

♫ he would misrecognize all the passing people ♫

♫ Talking about it like this ♫

♫ It's definitely love ♫

Master, if you don't start taking care of your old waist, it'll be at real risk.

I got it.

I'm putting the patch here. Remember to use it tomorrow.
