[Episode 34]

Are you just that afraid of being alone with me?

Why would I? I like eating these.

Don't drink anymore. You are...

Do you know something?

My wife died from suicide.

I'm sorry.

I met her when she was four years old.

We fell in love when we were eighteen.

She married me when she was twenty.

When she was twenty-two,

she suddenly left.

I couldn't accept it.

Excuse me for asking...

but what was troubling her?

Because she didn't love me.

She loved someone else.

Sorry.

Nigh and day, I watched over a woman that I deeply loved,

but she didn't love me.

That feeling...

is like someone using a knife to stab my heart every day.

Stab, after stab.

In that case, why don't you let go?

I want to end it quickly,

but I can't accept it.

Because I'm the one who loved her the most in this world.

I wanted to prove to her

that I loved her more than that man loved her.

Mr. Ruan, you are a good man.

I like you.

That's enough, Mr. Ruan.

You clearly still love her.

If I say you look a lot like her,

will you be upset?

- Not possible. - You've never met her, so how do you know that's not possible.

For starts, I wouldn't commit suicide for love.

But I'm feeling attracted to you.

Miss Qiu, won't you consider me?

I believe that I'm much more outstanding than your boyfriend.

Mr. Ruan, you don't love me.

I don't know if you are saying these words that can be misunderstood

out of some intention.

I want to...

meet a woman and love her.

Then I can forget

the past that will never come back.

But this isn't fair.

It's not fair to me, to you, and to her.

Don't do anything foolish.

Jiaxin.

- You're finally here. - Sorry, I'm late.

It's fine. Sit.

I've ordered everything. Take a look. Do you want anything else to eat?

- Take my phone— - It's fine. Whatever you order is fine.

Okay. Oh yes,

you said you were busy at the hospital. Anything wrong?

It's nothing. A patient suddenly came, so I helped along.

That's good then.

[Sister-in-law, have you seen Brother Ye? The entire club is looking for him.]

Xiaoye, Huang Mao is asking if I've seen you.

What's going on?

It's nothing. I didn't go to training.

Why didn't you go to training?

I argued with the coach.

You don't know, but he was too much.

I think he just doesn't like me.

What really happened?

I got up late in the morning, so he scolded me.

I only went to the training field late by half an hour.

Did he have to scold me in front of everyone?

Later, he would scold me for anything.

When we played a training match,

he would scold me if I made a tiny mistake.

It's even worse if I lost. I'm really drunk.

All the major clubs want me.

He treats me like this. Isn't he too much?

I actually think the coach is doing it for your sake.

For my sake?

He is trying to maintain the team's internal discipline.

Jiaxin, why are you taking someone else's side?

Forget it.

Let's eat first. We won't talk about this.

Thanks.

You... eat.

- You should eat. - Okay.

Xiaoye, I've reached my place.

You should hurry and go back to the club. Don't fight with the coach anymore.

We'll see. I don't really want to go back.

If I don't go back, they will keep losing money.

This isn't good, is it?

Don't worry. I can handle it.

Then you decide.

I'm leaving then.

Bye-bye.

I wonder how Master is.

♫ Whenever I see the sunlight touching the horizon ♫

♫ I know the future is right in front of me ♫

Professor Qiu, Xiaoshan hasn't mentioned to you

how my daughter Xiang Lan died, has he?

Uncle Zha, what happened in the past,

you shouldn't...

At that time, Xiang Lan shot

and hurt the male classmate who was going to assault her.

Xiaoshan took the criminal charge for her.

But the other side was too powerful.

If it was pursued further,

Xiaoshan would have stayed in prison for the rest of his life.

Xiang Lan couldn't help it, so she agreed to marry him.

But not long after the marriage, she was depressed

and committed suicide by jumping off a cliff.

My wife also died from suicide.

Excuse me for asking,

what troubled her?

Because she didn't love me.

She loved someone else.

♫ I open my hand carefully as it holds the slight lit flame ♫

[Inpatient's Department]

♫ Tenderly entrusting all hope ♫

♫ You are all my hope ♫

Weren't you going on a date?

Why are you back?

Master, you weren't going to work overtime.

Why are you still in the hospital?

I'm reading the medical files.

This patient's case is more complicated.

It looks familiar.

Master, is your waist still hurting?

It's much better.

See? I told you the patch works.

Master, that day,

why did you go to the rock-climbing gym?

It wasn't for anything.

I told you, we met by accident.

I don't believe it.

You don't like rock climbing.

I do like it. Zhao Yan told me that

rock climbing is a sport that can train the body

and nurture the spirit.

I like it.

Come over here.

Come here.

Is there anything wrong with this case?

Master, your questions are too easy.

Has a temperature, coughs out blood, upset stomach.

These aren't medical terms. It should be changed to fever, haematemesis, diarrhea.

Also, the doctor didn't include the date or their signature.

Seems like you're making progress.

These are mistakes you used to make.

Back then you yelled at me every day. It almost caused me trauma.

Don't you think a strict teacher produces an outstanding student?

Have I completed my apprenticeship?

You wish.

We're entering the next stage of practice.

Tomorrow morning,

I still want a rolled pancake, give me five eggs.

Okay. Got it.

A rolled pancake with five eggs?

Qin Bin, what are you saying?

Mr. Zhou, have you made a decision yet?

If by tomorrow Mr. Ruan does not get the answer he wants,

we'll take legal action.

It's so late, is something wrong?

I have something to ask you.

What? Is there something I can't see?

You and Ruan Wenzhao are old acquaintances.

He told me that his wife did indeed commit suicide,

because his wife didn't love him and was in love with someone else.

She's Xiang Lan, am I right?

Yes.

Why did you hide this from me?

He comes with evil intent.

I don't understand.

Ruan Wenzhao's company wants us, researchers, to sign a supplementary agreement.

I must submit proof for having no criminal record.

But two weeks ago, Ruan Wenzhao's lawyer called me,

and said he was going to file a criminal lawsuit against my shooting incident that happened years ago.

But it wasn't you who did it.

You took the blame for Xiang Lan.

Words are no proof. The law believes in evidence.

Once the lawyer files the lawsuit,

you won't be able to get a certificate of no criminal record.

You can't stay in China without the certificate.

But I don't understand why Ruan Wenzhao is doing this.

Out of hate.

He hates you because you took Xiang Lan from him?

He hates me because of that, and because Xiang Lan didn't love him.

He also hates that I started a new life.

What's your plan?

The lawyer said tomorrow was the deadline.

Tomorrow is also the deadline the investors are giving us.

Zhou Xiaoshan, you can't admit to what you didn't do.

It's not a big deal to lose your job. Your reputation is what matters.

If worst comes to worst, we can get ourselves a lawyer, too.

I don't believe they can distort the truth.

Jianing, don't worry.

I'm fine.

We're just missing Zhou Xiaoshan's supplementary agreement.

I've rushed him many times. He kept saying he was busy.

Mr. Ruan, I want to talk to you in private about Zhou Xiaoshan's situation.

Okay. But what identity are you taking to talk to me?

As Zhou Xiaoshan's boss or as his girlfriend?

If it's as his boss, then we can just talk here, no need to talk in private.

If it's as his girlfriend, we can talk after this is over.

President Huang.

Why is Zhou Xiaoshan refusing to sign the supplementary agreement?

Or does this employee have problems?

Mr. Ruan.

Why don't I directly tell you why I'm refusing to sign?

Lawyer Mao called me.

He said he's only giving me half an hour to decide.

If I still persist in saying no to your request,

he'll put the lawsuit into effect immediately.

You only have half an hour left.

That's enough.

Half an hour should be enough time for you to finish looking at this piece of information.

Ruan Wenzhao.

Your father initially worked for Uncle Zha.

You knew exactly what he was up to.

Although your father has cleaned up very nicely in recent years,

not a single speck of dirt was found on such a large company.

But as long as it's something that's been done,

it'll leave traces.

If the blackmail I have on your family business

in its early stage was spread,

what do you think would happen tomorrow?

You're threatening me?

I learned it from you.

Have you thought about

what would happen if I wasn't threatened by you?

I have.

I wouldn't take this stuff out if it wasn't the last resort.

Ruan Wenzhao, you pushed me to this point. I have to take a gamble.

Taking a gamble that you still have a conscience

and that you won't ruin your entire family just for me to suffer.

What if you lost the bet?

Ruan Wenzhao.

I just want to live an ordinary life and be an ordinary person.

How's it going, Mr. Ruan?

Prepare the contract.

Then... about Zhou Xiaoshan's supplementary agreement?

We can keep using the materials from a year ago. It's fine.

- What did you say to him? - Ruan Wenzhao hates me,

but it's because of his love for Xiang Lan.

This Ruan Wenzhao.

He really is so difficult to understand.

Did you hear what I said just now?

Professor, there's still a lot of problems to be solved.

The data we gathered is insufficient,

and the results are mostly negative.

We are not ready for animal testing yet.

Our cell experiments do not have any problems.

The data results are all very good.

As for the redundant data, there is no need to include it in the report.

Do you still need me to teach you such a simple scientific process?

Professor, we cannot delete—

- Hello? - Hi, Professor Harry.

Qian, you still remember me.

How surprising.

Professor, not only am I constantly thinking of you,

but I also hope that you can help me with something.

And why should I help you?

Because we have a common enemy, Qiu Jianing.

Jiaxin.

Master.

Didn't the cafeteria have your favorite sweet and sour spare ribs today? You didn't get some?

There was none left when I got there.

I heard that the sweet and sour spare ribs were all bought by one person.

Who?

I bought them all.

Did you come here to show off?

No.

I bought this for you to eat.

Eat up.

I‘ll help myself, then.

Is it good?

Hey, Master. Aren't you not working overtime today?

I came to spend time with you.

Your food is all over your mouth.

Turn to me.

- I can do it myself. - No worries. Let me help you.

Sorry for disturbing you.

Continue.

I just remembered I still have something to do.

Do you really have something going on?

Why?

Why do you appear at every important moment?

I really wonder why, Zhao Yan.

Did God send you here to punish me?

You...

- It's fun. - What's fun about it?

What happened? Did you force her to accept you?

Nonsense! I'm not as despicable as you think I am.

Jiaxin and I are in love.

Are you not ashamed? She has a boyfriend.

A boyfriend? Jiang Xiaoye? He wants to compete with me?

Oh, please. What a joke!

It sounds like you're looking down on him.

I'm telling you. After all, he is her official boyfriend.

As for you? A concubine at best.

How can you say that!

You know what?

I have more salt with Jiaxin than she has rice with Jiang Xiaoye.

Besides, Jiaxin definitely likes me. I can see it in her eyes.

With which of your eyes are you seeing that she likes you?

With this one and this one.

- Move your feet. - I'll trip you.

I still have to sincerely remind you.

It's good to fight for the girl you like,

but you are taking her away from someone else. So be a bit more careful.

What do I need to be careful about? It's a different time now.

Can your thoughts not be so outdated? I'm pursuing my true love.

As for you, if you have this much time to tell me all of this, why don't you find yourself a girlfriend?

Doesn't it bother you when your dad nags you

about getting a girlfriend every time you go home? Even I feel bothered for you.

We're talking about you. Why are you mentioning my dad?

- Why don't I sign you up for some blind dates online? - Go to hell.

Send me your best-looking photo.

Hurry. Give it to me.

- Send it to me. - I'm ignoring you.

I feel like even I'm in danger because you're not looking for a girlfriend.

What's up? You're in a daze.

Sister, you're back.

What's wrong? You didn't leave to go on a date today?

Is something on your mind?

Sister, I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

Like what?

I think I might still be attracted to Master.

What do you mean?

Master brought me my favorite sweet and sour ribs this evening.

And helped me wipe my mouth.

Although I refused him then,

my heart was beating so quickly!

So you feel guilty because you're dating Jiang Xiaoye

but you also have feelings for Qin Bin?

Yes.

So if your heart still beats quickly for Qin Bin, does that mean you like him?

I don't think so.

My heart also beats quickly when I see Jiang Xiaoye.

The feelings of the heartbeat can come in many different forms.

It can be the acceleration of the heartbeat due to love and affection,

and also, the feeling of excitement when you see the person you idolize.

For example, when I inject fertilized eggs, my heart beats fast because I'm nervous.

The important thing is figuring out which feeling of heartbeat you have for each of them.

But I can't tell the difference.

Next month is dad's 60th birthday, right?

Yes.

Sister, why don't you make it up for him then.

You had a falling out with dad because of Zhou Xiaoshan. Pick out a gift for him.

What do I have to make up for? How can I do that?

Professor Harry, there's serious leaks that happened at your laboratory.

Can you tell us about it?

- One of my most respected students, Ning. - Ning?

She has a special name.

Yes, she's a Chinese girl.

I believe her Chinese name is Qiu Jianing.

A year ago she plagiarized the research results from the laboratory.

The Chinese company hired her literally the next day.

Can you tell us the name of this company?

Plan-O Laboratories, owned by Original Life.

Oh, is it the same company that caused the sensation at the science conference?

Exactly.

He's not talking about Professor Qiu, is he?

Sister Jianing would never do that.

Chunran, where is Jianing?

She went with Sun Lei and Zhou Xiaoshan to attend the signing ceremony.

- What should we do? - My god!

Look at this, someone posted the video online.

It's already at over 10,000 clicks.

This scandal will definitely affect the signing.

What should we do?

Yes, she's a Chinese girl.

I believe her Chinese name is Qiu Jianing.

A year ago she plagiarized the research results from the laboratory.

The Chinese company hired her literally the next day.

This seems to be a pretty big scandal within the industry.

Of course, I personally believe in Miss Qiu's character.

But before the situation is sorted out,

my apologies, President Huang.

I can't sign this contract.

Professor Qiu, what you're saying is that the article published by Professor Harry on Cure a year ago

was actually written by you?

And that you left his laboratory because he plagiarized your article?

That's right.

Plan-O has entered Phase 2.

We all know that once a drug finishes the second phase and enters Phase 3,

the drug has been successfully developed.

Harry's intentions for coming out now are very obvious.

This is absurd. Do you think I'm a fool?

At least find a better explanation if you really want to clear yourself up.

What I'm saying is the truth.

I believe Professor Qiu.

But the challenge will be for the public to believe her.

As you know, the media acts on hearsay.

The logic is simple.

If the core foundation of Plan-O came from Professor Harry,

then why is his lab progress still stuck in animal experiments?

Why is the FDA not letting him move on to the clinical trials?

That's a good point.

Professor Qiu, the top priority right now is as Mr. Ruan said,

you have to get the public to believe you.

Let's have a press conference. I'll make a statement.

Okay.

I'll have the department of public relations fully cooperate with you.

Don't look so upset.

The situation is not yet at the point of no return.

Harry did the interview at the exact moment we were about to sign the contract.

- It's too much of a coincidence. - Coincidence?

You're saying...

Ruan Wenzhao.

I don't think so.

I'm his target.

I dragged you into this.

I don't think it's necessary for him to do this.

Even if he wanted to seek revenge for what happened in the past,

he's affecting me by doing this.

Besides, he defended me when we were with President Huang.

This is just a guess at the moment.

Xiaoshan, promise me.

Whether or not this has anything to do with Ruan Wenzhao, don't act on impulse.

This must be fake.

What do we do? Everyone can watch this video.

They're back.

Jianing.

Sister Jianing, we've all seen the video.

But I believe you.

I also believe you.

Right, we all believe you.

Thank you all for your trust. I won't let you down.

Who was that yesterday? She became the trending topic overnight.

I don't know. I heard she was the team leader of Plan-O Laboratory.

Gosh.

She had the nerve to plagiarize the research findings of a foreign lab?

She's such a disgrace for the Chinese.

What are you guys talking about?

Dr. Qiu, you don't know yet? It's all over the internet.

I heard that it's a female researcher with the last name Qiu. Her exact name has not been published yet.

Qiu?

Right. She has your last name.

All right, continue eating.

Professor Harry, there's serious leaks that happened at your laboratory.

Can you tell us about it?

- One of my most respected students, Ning. - Ning?

She has a special name.

Yes. She's a Chinese girl.

I believe her Chinese name is Qiu Jianing.

A year ago she plagiarized the research results from the laboratory.

A Chinese company hired her literally the next day.

Accusing my sister of plagiarism? That's so out of line.

Plan-O Laboratories, owned by Original Life.

Master, are you seeing this?

Are you talking about Jianing's video?

This is outrageous. It was he who plagiarized my sister's research results.

How dare he turn the blame on the victim.

Jiaxin, calm down.

How can I not be agitated?

He's twisting the truth. Is there still justice?

- You can actually laugh? - Think about it.

This Harry said your older sister plagiarised his research results.

But our lab's progress is faster than his.

Does this kind of slander that can't stand up to scrutiny deserve to anger you?

That's true.

The brain is a good thing. I hope you will understand it more.

But what the people online have said is horrible.

I have to retort it back for my sister.

Jiaxin! Jiaxin, don-don't be impulsive.

I already called Jianing just now.

She said their company will issue an announcement tomorrow. Everything will be cleared up.

Should I just watch my sister getting bullied?

Jiaxin, think about that time when you were misunderstood.

You were very impulsive. Did it solve anything?

When you are so impulsive, it will only make it messier.

Someone like Harry, who can dare to slander your sister,

must be completely prepared.

It must not be as simple as talking about it.

If we want to defeat him, we must understand what cards he holds.

Otherwise, we'll only alert the snake in the grass. (TN: meaning alert the enemy)

Do you mean he will do something even worse?

What will happen next none of us knows right now.

We can only watch for now, but I believe evil won't win over good.

Jiaxin, I understand how you are feeling,

but at this pivotal point, it's most important to stay calm.

[Announcement regarding the plagiarization allegation]

You've finished writing the announcement?

I've already sent it to the company's public relations department.

About the words to use, just let them think it over.

You should have skinned Harry a long time ago.

I don't want to waste time on that kind of person.

Let's go.

Original Life's public relations department just released this announcement.

What do you think, Professor Su?

Every phrase is well chosen. It's good enough to be a war declaration.

Now that this announcement is released, public opinion will certainly be in an uproar.

Qiu Jianing turns the table.

Professor Su, you must be angry.

But don't you worry.

Every step they make

is still under my control.

Qiu Jianing thinks she can turn it over so quickly.

She is thinking too simply.

Sis! Older Sister, wake up.

Qiu Jianing, don't sleep anymore. Look at this!

Look at this!

Is the value of Plan-O to TKS

only worth five million dollars?

Yes, of course. It's inappropriate

to talk to you only about the money.

This is a Harry Laboratory transfer agreement.

Now, if you come to work for us,

we can make sure that Dr. Harry never shows his face

in the scientific community ever again.

Sis, what's happening?

TKS was trying to buy me off, but I refused.

But based on the video, it appeared that you were negotiating terms with them.

Sis, I'll go open the door.

Where's your sister?

This video has been edited.

Why are they doing this?

What are you doing?

I'm going to them. I want them to tell the truth.

Listen to me. From Harry to Gale, they've set up every step.

If you tell them to tell the truth now, you will fall into their trap.

I never did that, so I should just let them slander me?

You must stay calm.

Sis, your phone keeps ringing.

[President Huang]

I'll go with you.

Is the value of Plan-O to TKS only worth five million American dollars?

Yes, of course. It's inappropriate to talk to you only about the money.

This is a Harry Laboratory transfer agreement.

Now, if you come to work for us,

we can make sure that Dr. Harry never shows his face

in the scientific community ever again.

I can appreciate the sincerity from TKS.

So, do we have an agreement?

Professor Qiu, I could never imagine that you would actually...

President Huang, I didn't do it.

You didn't do it, but...

Who is that person in the video then? If I didn't see it with my own eyes...

President Huang, that video was edited.

It has a strong guidance ability.

If Professor Qiu had really done something like that,

why is the other side having to edit the video?

I agree.

President Huang, yesterday it was set up to

uniformly release the announcement on Professor Qiu. Are we still releasing it?

Why wouldn't you release it?

Professor Qiu, are you sure?

What's the problem?

The announcement can prove that you didn't plagiarize.

But it cannot prove that you never secretly

tried to buy TKS company's project.

It may... may even confirm the video from this morning.

That's why we are in a dilemma.

Do you have any suggestions?

I think this incident is very strange.

About Harry's video,

we can temporarily think of it as a strategic move.

The other side wants to denigrate our project so that the investors will lose confidence in us.

But the video from this morning changes the direction.

They are targeting Professor Qiu herself.

Yes. Now the two videos concerning Professor Qiu are in the trending searches.

Logically, we are a small niche enterprise.

This incident has blown up so much, so someone must be inciting it.

Furthermore, to the extent that Professor Qiu is accused as a national traitor.

Clearly, it's intended to ruin Professor Qiu's reputation.

Professor Qiu, have you offended anyone?

That's right, Professor Qiu. Have you offended someone?

I've offended too many people. I don't even know where to start.

But when soldiers come, use generals to fight back. When water comes, cover it with soil. I'm not scared.

President Huang.

Let's talk alone.

It's him.

But there's something I don't understand.

If it's really Ruan Wenzhao, then Harry, Gale,

why are they cooperating with him?

The enemy's enemy is one's friend.

President Huang, that announcement should be issued.

But some verbiage should be modified.

Mr. Ruan, please give guidance.

First of all, it should emphasize that Plan-O's leader is Professor Wang Jitian.

Also,

cut off any involvement from Qiu Jianing in the announcement.

This isn't good, is it?

If it's done this way, what will Professor Qiu think?

It will hurt Professor Qiu too much.

What? At this stage, do you still want to protect her?

Our Tiancheng Fund really likes this project.

Even with such a big crisis,

I think I can still persuade the board of shareholders to sign with you, as long as I'm willing.

But if President Huang wants to continue protecting Qiu Jianing's feelings

and our collaboration is terminated, you probably can't answer to the other investors, can you?

Professor Qiu is the project's leader after all.

If we cut off relationship with Professor Qiu,

I'm afraid it will cause the outside to doubt how the project will progress.

What about Su Qian?

Professor Su?

She was originally Plan-O's core researcher.

She is also back with fame from an overseas laboratory.

Qiu Jianing leaves, but Professor Su returns.

I think the outside world will have even more confidence in the project.

At this point, don't lose big over trivial matters.

President Huang, you should be decisive.

Mr. Ruan, give me a little time to consider. Okay?

As soon as possible.

Once this incident takes hold, it's not what you and I can control.
