A Better Life

Episode 24

Come.

What are you doing?

Today, the contract with Mr. Ai's family

is officially sealed.

I'll be No. 1 in performance.

So.

Exterior

and interior colors,

pick whatever you like.

I'll then inform the company.

Why are you still thinking about this?

Of course.

Hu Manli.

This means a lot to you.

You won—you deserve it.

Since I'm this outstanding,

then lend me some more money.

Ask the company to add more funds.

I want this car.

That won't do.

The budget is way over.

So it seems you still have

no confidence in our future.

If all else fails, take a loan. We'll take it.

Getting carried away, huh?

Let's go.

We must finalize the car today.

I've already picked the car.

What?

Let's go.

Hello, Ms. Hu!

Grocery shopping?

Yes.

Hey, Ms. Hu.

Fresh out of the oven, still warm.

Save two packs for me.

Why are you here?

Welcome back, Ms. Hu.

Want some duck?

Made fresh this morning.

Hello, Ms. Hu.

Here, check out the fresh produce.

Look. Beef, vegetables,

and shrimp.

Want some fresh greens?

Business good?

Very fresh.

Here, take a piece.

Save half for me.

Okay, no problem.

I'll have three.

Sure.

How's the broccoli today?

Good, very fresh. All fresh!

Mr. Chen.

Ms. Hu, wait a moment.

One moment.

I've prepared two fish for you.

Give them a try.

For free?

Yes, for you. A gift.

No, no gift.

Let me pay. Here.

- I'll scan the code. - No, don't!

No, no, absolutely not.

You can't.

No, that's not okay.

It's for you, really.

I'm so flattered.

Not at all.

Don't mention it.

Well then, I'll accept. Thanks!

See you.

So? My luxury car's high-class, right?

Sometimes I really don't get it.

Are you actually vain

or down-to-earth?

Me? Definitely vain.

But my pursuit of vanity

has leveled up now.

Gold cups, silver cups— none compare to customer praise.

Right?

Look.

Tang Ling set me up.

Ms. Zhou helped me.

You and Ai Linjiang fought,

yet his father still gave us the deal.

You saw it earlier too.

Walking through the market,

if I want to reserve stuff,

who'd say no?

My vanity is extremely satisfied, okay?

What's a good car compared to that?

Nothing else can give me this feeling.

I don't know why.

Strangely, your words make me quite happy.

Right?

Becoming a better man already?

Not really.

It's just...

Very adorable.

Adorable?

At my age, "respectable" would be more appropriate.

No, you are adorable.

Trying to get me cook something nice?

For a bit of food,

you'd really say anything.

Then I'd like some braised pork.

Got it.

So, about that rewarded car,

I'll have it converted to cash for you.

♪Who sleepwalks through the haze♪

That's very considerate of you,

♪Endless winds keep blowing on♪

♪Who truly understands♪

♪No shared pain we can recall♪

[Spring 2024]

♪Our pains♪

♪Each bloom in separate ways♪

Come in.

Ms. Li.

Ms. Li, you wanted to see me?

Have a seat.

Xue Xiaozhou.

Yes.

You joined last year.

Yes, last September.

I've reviewed your resume.

You graduated from Futan University Law School.

A top student from law school,

why did you come to sell insurance?

My mother was having health issues.

I...

Well, it's a long story.

How is your mother now?

She has passed away.

My condolences.

Ms. Li, why did you...

To achieve such outstanding performance within six months,

you're the first I've seen.

What's your next step?

Any thoughts?

I...

Would you like to try something more

challenging?

[Wanna have lunch?]

[I'm buying]

[Michelin only]

[Got it]

Welcome.

Hello, reservation for Mr. Xue.

Table 12, this way please.

Thank you.

Come.

Sit.

This is ridiculous.

You're serious about this.

Didn't you want a Michelin restaurant?

Well, I want to go to space too.

Make that happen?

Well, not right now.

We're having Western food?

Have a look.

Oh my god, it's so expensive!

Let's go.

We're already here.

Just give me the meal's cash equivalent, okay?

Let's leave.

I've already ordered.

Such a waste of money.

Hu Manli.

I have something very important to tell you.

What is it?

Is it good news or bad news?

For me, it's definitely good news.

But for you...

No.

It's fine.

I knew this day would come eventually.

It's okay, I can accept it.

All good things must come to an end.

We should...

part on good terms.

Eating at such a nice place,

you should've told me earlier.

I would've worn something nicer.

Could've taken some photos for social media.

Parting on good terms?

In your dreams.

I'm not leaving you.

Then... what is it?

Li Qingqing wants to

promote me to director.

That's great news!

Then why that expression?

She wants me to lead the new venture at TSI,

family office.

It specializes in wealth succession for high-net-worth clients.

She said I've only been here for six months and have done

exceptionally well.

I closed several major deals and

even set up a trust.

That's why this proposal came about.

Did you accept it?

Not yet. She gave me a week to consider.

Text her right now, this instant.

Tell her you can start tomorrow.

But all my current achievements

are actually your accomplishments.

Truthfully, I'm just your puppet.

Everything I've gained today

rightfully belongs to you.

Actually I...

I don't have any real capability.

Right? I always feeling like a thief.

Xue Xiaozhou.

You were never the modest type.

Accept it immediately.

And about this family office business,

I'm completely unfamiliar with it.

I don't know what I should do.

You educated folks

always overcomplicate things.

When I worked reception at Blue Ocean,

I wanted to sell insurance.

Mr. Jin hesitated.

So I told him

it's just selling products.

What's so difficult?

Now I'm saying the same to you.

Family office is just a different name.

It's still selling products.

Hey.

Look at that guy behind you.

Wine not ready yet?

Fresh new-world wine doesn't need decanting.

Try it again.

Okay.

He looks quite confident, doesn't he.

When I just walked in, I passed by him.

Saw him searching for decanting knowledge online.

[Does new-world wine need decanting?]

So what?

So you see,

these people are just filling vacancies without real qualifications.

Those who seem more capable than you

might actually be worse than you.

They're just good at pretending

and a bit more daring.

Got it?

The brave enjoy the world first.

Be bolder!

Do you really think I can?

Of course you can!

You just didn't know.

Now I'm telling you.

Okay.

I believe you.

That's right.

Work hard.

Got it?

Xiaozhou,

you'll be my pension insurance from now on.

As for me,

I'll be like a Buddha statue,

sitting at home,

relying on your support.

Okay, I'll look after you.

I'm too full.

Can't eat anymore.

This meal will make me gain three pounds.

Waiter.

Bill please.

He's paying.

Let me check.

Scan this.

This is...

There's a service charge?

Yes.

It's fine.

What are you laughing at over there?

Didn't you see the waitress's look just now?

Her eyes nearly popped out.

Why?

She must be thinking.

What's the relationship between these two?

The way we talk doesn't

sound like colleagues.

At your age, you can't possibly be my son.

She definitely thinks

we're that kind of relationship.

What kind?

One is paying for the company.

You're my kept woman?

You're my kept man, obviously.

At my age, who'd keep me?

That's ridiculous.

That waitress

finally figured out our relationship.

Then you said "I'll look after you."

You even paid the bill.

Great, now she's completely confused.

She must be thinking

how can someone so young have such unusual tastes?

Don't say that. It's not funny at all.

I was just joking.

Can't take a joke anymore?

You can joke about others,

but you shouldn't joke about yourself.

Besides, someone like you

might actually have someone willing to keep you.

Oh my!

Really?

Thanks.

Though I know it's not true,

it still makes me happy to hear.

Say it more often.

Don't worry, I'll try.

Xue Xiaozhou

has only been with us for six months and

hasn't closed many deals,

but every deal has been a big one.

Recently,

he astonishingly secured a family heritage case.

The amount on this deal

broke TSI's five-year record.

Excuse me.

Could you help me record this?

Is everything ready?

Ready.

All set.

Let's get a Super Supreme with

double cheese

and some egg tarts.

Chicken wings sound good too.

Get some fries.

How are you feeling now?

Pretty much like normal.

Just that my fingers aren't as nimble as before.

Doesn't affect daily life for now.

Yeah, life goes on.

Look at Hawking, the world's most famous ALS patient.

He fought the disease for over 40 years

while still contributed to the world.

Spare me.

If it really comes to that,

you'll definitely be one pushing my wheelchair.

Absolutely.

But maybe I'll be paralyzed before you.

Maybe you'll be pushing me.

Bah! Touch wood!

You don't have to cheer me up by cursing yourself.

By the way,

how are things with Jun now?

The bond between us

keeps growing stronger.

We meet every week.

You know what?

During New Year,

he treated me to dinner with his lucky money.

Really?

The kid's grown up.

With age comes wisdom.

Indeed.

Are you cold?

No.

Look.

[Share my important moment with you]

Let's begin then.

First, please share with us

your professional journey.

Actually when I first entered this industry,

I was a claims adjuster.

My daily work involves dealing with clients

and their sales representatives.

Frankly speaking,

most salespeople in this industry only have

superficial knowledge.

They mainly secure clients through

persistent pestering

and underhanded methods.

So back then,

I really looked down on

frontline sales staff.

Even in his interview,

he called me petty in roundabout ways.

Later,

by coincidence,

or perhaps not just coincidence,

to be precise,

I was forced into this position.

I became

a sales representative at TSI.

At the beginning,

I naively believed

that solid professional knowledge alone

would help me close deals.

But

reality kept hitting me with setbacks

until I encountered certain things

and met certain people.

Only then did I realize

my understanding of this industry

was so shallow.

After handling several deals,

I gradually

developed a proper

understanding of this industry.

Selling insurance and closing deals

aren't achieved by

just drinking coffee and discussing data.

In fact,

I'm very grateful for this job,

and also

the people I've met through it.

They pulled me out

from the lowest point

of my life.

Thank you.

Now for our final question.

To become

an outstanding insurance agent, what qualities

do you think are required?

An outstanding insurance agent.

About bottom line?

Passion.

Sincerity.

Kindness.

Thank you for the interview.

Passion, Sincerity, Kindness.

Manli, this describes you perfectly.

He's graduated.

I taught him well.

Got some conscience at least.

Come here.

Congratulations!

Such a good apprentice.

Originally, "New Forces in Business"

was supposed to interview Ms. Li.

Ms. Li negotiated with them for a long time

before they finally agreed to replace her with Xue Xiaozhou.

Ling, this video column

is very famous in the financial world.

The audience includes many high-net-worth individuals.

Ms. Li is clearly

aiming to build

Xue Xiaozhou's personal brand.

Position him

as the star agent of TSI.

Instead of gossiping here,

you should go make more client calls!

I'll make the calls now.

[Hu Manli's policy went wrong]

[Alert Notice]

[Hu Degong's fall alert]

Hello.

Safety Guardian Center alert.

Your home's

millimeter-wave posture detection device is triggering an alarm.

Possible fall detected.

Please verify and handle promptly.

If needed,

dial 01...

Dad!

Dad!

Gosh!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Are you okay?

The ambulance is coming soon.

Dad.

Dad, can you hear me?

Upgrading the racetrack

isn't just about increased income.

Your vision, connections, resources, and platforms

will all be vastly different from before.

The interview with New Forces in Business

is the first step in building your profile.

Once the video is released,

you'll feel the impact.

[Wu Ya's photo]

[My dad fell ill. We're at Cijin Hospital]

Excuse me...

Hello, where is the emergency room?

Over there.

This way, right?

Hu Manli.

What happened?

Why did he suddenly faint?

I kept telling him to take his medicine properly.

Hypertension can lead to cerebral hemorrhage.

He just wouldn't listen to me.

Why did I have to jinx it?

I shouldn't have said anything.

This isn't the time for such thoughts.

Let's hear what the doctor says, okay?

Who is Hu Degong's family?

Me, me, me!

I am—I'm his daughter.

How is my dad?

The rescue was fairly timely,

but the patient

is experiencing expanding cerebral hemorrhage.

We must perform a craniotomy to remove the blood clot.

Is the craniotomy risky?

There are always risks with surgery,

especially with a craniotomy.

What...what happens if we don't operate?

If we don't, the patient might never wake up.

It's what we commonly call brain death.

what's there to think about?

Do...do the surgery! Operate!

Well...

Operate then. We have no choice but to operate.

Okay.

We'll prepare for surgery.

Please sign here.

Where do I sign?

Here.

Right here.

Does he have health insurance?

Yes.

He does.

My father has medical insurance.

Doctor, don't worry about the cost.

Use the best medicine possible for him.

You must save him.

Don't worry, we'll do our best.

Thank you, doctor.

Thank you.

Hu Manli, you need to stay calm now.

You can't afford to panic right now.

How can I stay calm?

It's all my fault.

I didn't care for him enough.

If anything happens to him today,

I'll hate myself forever.

Alright, alright.

Don't think about that now.

You need to calm down.

Take deep breaths.

Deep breaths.

Calm down a bit.

Calm down.

Daer will be out of school.

I need to pick him up.

No, no.

I...I'll go get him.

I'll take care of Dingding these few days.

You stay here and focus.

Wait for Mr. Hu's good news, okay?

Can you do it?

Yes, yes.

- Thank you. - Trust me.

Ya.

Manli.

Xiaozhou has told me everything.

Don't worry.

I've informed my colleagues in the emergency department.

They'll definitely do their best.

Thank you.

Ya, please look after her for me.

I need to go pick up Daer.

Pick up... her son.

Don't worry.

I'll be off.

Text me if anything comes up.

Okay, don't worry.

Thank you.

Don't panic. Stay calm.

Ya.

Thank you, Ya.

Don't worry.

What did you say?

She's being sued

and most likely to lose.

No, the company is being sued.

She had a major client buy a unit-linked insurance policy

Unit-linked insurance?

It doesn't guarantee principal, yes?

But seven years ago, the market was good.

You could get over 6% returns with your eyes closed.

But recently,

The client's company had a capital chain rupture.

They needed to cash out this insurance,

and find almost all the principal was lost.

It doesn't make sense.

Investment carries risks that buyers should be aware.

The client shouldn't be able to win the lawsuit.

That's exactly the problem.

There wasn't dual recording before.

So when signing the contract,

the client must copy a sentence verbatim.

Basically what it means is

the client has been made aware of the risks.

But this text

has now been professionally verified.

It's not written by the client.

It was written by Hu Manli on their behalf.

She wrote it for them?

So the company is bound to lose this lawsuit.

Hu Manli really has some nerve.

Putting on high morals in front of me

while secretly engaging in all kinds of underhanded tricks.

I told you before.

She's cunning, isn't she?

But she's got good luck.

The company will have to take the fall for her.

What do you mean?

She gets off scot-free?

That can't be right.

Such a perfect opportunity.

We can't let her get away with this.

Mr. Jin wants to suppress this matter.

Doesn't want headquarters to know.

If they really investigate, he'll

bear responsibility too.

Honey.

You know someone in the headquarters' legal department, don't you?

This matter

should be reported to headquarters, right?

It's not a small matter.

[How is it going?]

[Ya: Just out of operation. Still critical]

Remember to give Dingding a glass of milk before bed.

Not straight from the fridge

and give it to him cold.

Heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds.

[Don't worry about things at home]

[I can only count on you]

[My dad's ill. Please look after Daer for a few days]

Daer.

Coming with your brother again?

Hurry up or you'll be late.

You guys go ahead.

Hey, listen.

From now on, don't call me "brother".

Why not?

Is that wrong?

Strictly speaking, I should be an

"uncle".

You?

An uncle?

Why though?

If I'm your brother.

Your mom will be my elder.

That's different generations.

It's fine.

She's 12 years older.

She can be your "aunt".

Then I'm 15 years older than you.

Why can't I be an "uncle"?

Anyway, no more "brother", got it?

Fine, fine.

Then hurry up, old man.

I'm gonna be late.

You little brat.

Manli.

What brings you here?

How's your dad doing?

Had emergency surgery overnight.

Not out of danger yet.

If there's anything I can help with,

don't hesitate to ask.

Nothing, really.

Just keep an eye

on Daer these days.

Got it, no problem.

You go ahead.

No need to wait here.

Okay.

Here, take this.

What?

I can't accept this.

Take it back.

Don't be polite with me.

You used to earn more and

spent more on the family.

Now that I earn more,

I should contribute more.

Really didn't expect that.

Didn't expect what?

Here, have some water.

Didn't expect you to hold no grudge.

Last time,

I pushed you into the river.

Actually, I should thank you.

That push of yours last time

make me understand many truths.

Huh?

I mean it.

Zhiyuan.

We're not family now.

You know? I appreciate your kindness.

Don't say that.

Anyway

I've been drinking your father's medicinal wine for many years.

Now.

Take this money as payment for the medicinal wine.

Okay?

If you won't take it, then I won't either.

Just leave it here.

Fine then.

I'll just consider this as a regular friend visiting an elder.

Thank you on my father's behalf.

Hu Degong's family?

Here!

- Hu Degong? - Here.

How is he?

Hu Degong woke up.

That's wonderful!

Thank you, doctor.

Good.

Thank you.

All right, now you can rest easy.

Good.

It's alright.

Terrific.

He's fine now.

That's great.

Xiaozhou?

I came right after seeing Daer off.

I heard Mr. Hu is out of danger.

Yes.

Get some rest now.

I'll stay here.

I bought you breakfast.

Eat before you go.

Who are you?

My colleague, Xue Xiaozhou.

You met at my place.

That time with your uncle and aunt.

He took care of Daer for me yesterday.

Xue Xiaozhou.

Xiaozhou, right?

Thank you.

Manli.

I'll pick up Daer later.

Let him stay at my place for now.

I've already talked with Daer.

I'll take care of him these days.

Daer said his grandparents are still here.

Professor Ding needs to host his parents

while also caring for his pregnant wife.

So let's not have Daer add to the chaos, right?

Then I won't stand on ceremony with you.

- Thanks you. - It's fine.

Daer enjoys playing with me too.

Hu Degong's family member, right?

Yes.

Hu Degong will be transferred to a regular ward soon.

Let me explain a situation to you.

Currently, the wards are full.

For now, he can only use an extra bed in the hallway.

What?

My father just came out of ICU.

He needs proper rest.

Could you please do something about the bed situation?

Don't worry.

We'll arrange it as soon as a bed becomes available.

Of course.

We provide the same level of care to all patients.

Don't worry.

Thank you, doctor.

Okay.

Thank you.

Okay, I got it.

Thank you.

How did it go?

The hospital beds are indeed quite tight right now.

But they've all said

as soon as any bed becomes available,

they'll admit Mr. immediately.

That's great.

Don't worry.

I'll visit him whenever I can.

Alright. Thank you so much.

Xiaozhou.

Well...

About the wedding photos.

What wedding photos?

I forgot to block you when I posted them.

I only realized when I saw you liked my post.

I didn't mean to upset you.

Ya.

I don't think you meant to upset me.

I'm not that petty either.

Liking it didn't mean anything special.

I just wanted to

wish you happiness.

Really?

Well...

Can we still be friends?

Who wouldn't want a doctor friend?

I'll be off.

Come in.

Professor Ding.

Come, have a seat

You need something?

Well...

I remember one of your student's parents

works at the Health Bureau.

Right?

Is it about your wife's pregnancy?

No, it's my father-in-law.

Or rather, ex-father-in-law.

He's in some trouble now.

The first trial verdict of Mr. Ma's

unit-linked insurance is out.

The court ruled that we're at fault.

So...

We have to repay both principal

and interest of four million.

Then prepare for the second appeal.

I don't recommend it.

The reason?

All the evidence proves the responsibility lies with us.

A second appeal would only delay the compensation.

Besides,

if this matter escalates,

it'll greatly damage the company's reputation.

It won't just be a four-million issue anymore.

In fact, this matter has already escalated.

After the verdict was issued, the

headquarters' legal department

gave me a call.

They demanded that we

must take action regarding this incident.

Hello?

Have you all been doing well ?

We've been good.

I need to tell you something.

Do you remember

a few years ago,

that wealth management project we invested in together?

The one that went bust?

Yes, that one.

Now,

that investment company

is calling everyone to return our principal.

Haven't they called?

No.

Is it true?

Of course it's true.

How about this?

I'll add you to the group chat.

That's what the group is discussing.

Okay, okay.

Alright.

Your phone is so loud.

I'm taking notes for the news right now.

So many scammers these days.

Better be careful.

Join the group first to check the situation.

If we can get the principal back,

that would be best.

Need to hear it.

Dental appointment?

No problem.

We'll arrange the best dental clinic for you.

Don't mention it.

Alright.

I can go on my own.

Go back to work.

That won't do. Promised your mom I'd look after you.

I'll keep my word.

Walk you to the gate.

That's the twelfth call this morning.

Your interview video was published yesterday.

Today you're flooded with friend requests,

and your phone is ringing nonstop.

Bye.

Don't forget me when you're rich, bro.

Stop. What should you call me?

Okay, fine.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

I'm off.

Got it.

Hey, Ya.

Hey, Xiaozhou.

Lived up to your trust.

Mr. Hu can move to a four-person ward today.

Really?

Yes.

Wonderful!

Thank you.

How is it?

I heard Mr. Hu is all settled in.

Pretty good.

How's his condition?

Doctor says quite stable.

Thanks.

Okay.

What are you doing here?

I came to visit Daer's grandfather.

Dad.

Can you hear me, Dad?

Luckily Zhiyuan helped out this time.

Fortunately he put in a word with Mr. Huang.

That's why you got this bed.

So it was you who pulled strings.

Not exactly pulling strings.

I happened to run into Mr. Huang.

Just mentioned it casually.

Mr. Huang

knows someone from the Health Bureau.

He made the call.

Happened to have a bed available.

Dad...

I mean,

Daer's grandfather was

checked in right away.

Don't be too modest.

For you to actually ask for help,

I appreciate the gesture.

Once I get through this busy period,

I'll buy you to dinner.

Since you've got company,

I'll head back to office.

Oh.

Dad.

Dad.

Hello?

Who's this?

Hello.

I'm the court clerk from Jiangcheng District Court, Shanghai.

Court?

Hello, Director Xue.

Hello, Director Xue.

Director Xue, congrats.

Hello, Director Xue.

Director Xue, hello.

Director Xue.

Hello.

Let me.

I'll get it.

Here.

Director Xue, hello.

Congrats, Director Xue.

After you.

Please, you first.

Come in.

This is the office with the best view.

Ms. Li left especially for you.

Please thank Ms. Li for me.

Here are the documents provided by HR.

You can review them.

See if there are suitable candidates to build your team.

Oh, right.

You have a driver's license?

Yes, but I don't own a car.

This car

is for you.

Ms. Li asked me to tell you,

you're now the star salesperson of the company.

You represent the company's image.

All necessary resources

will be provided.

I'll take my leave now.

Director Xue.

Thank you.

♪If I close both eyes tonight♪

♪Back to that wishing summer night♪

♪Wind brushes your shaking frame♪

♪That world feels close just the same♪

♪If I dare to face the dawn♪

♪Do you know this face you'd drawn♪

♪Gray spirals looped in endless chase♪

♪Tracing tears not words they trace♪

♪How many times must this repeat♪

♪Sighs pull my gaze to retreat♪

♪Sleepless nights, risks untold♪

♪None of it for my own soul♪

♪Winds blew, rains poured♪

♪Umbrellas broke, we soared♪

♪Sky fell, ground shook♪

♪Through dusk till dawn I stood♪

♪Cars passed, dreams drowned♪

♪Every stop's chain unbound♪

♪Moon watched, stars blazed♪

♪Lamps died, connections phased♪

♪Held hands, laughed then cried♪

♪Hearts froze, parts died inside♪

♪Tried hard, spoke true♪

♪Now I'm someone I never knew♪

♪Love came, hate stayed♪

♪I arrived, you frayed♪

♪Voice cracked, tears burned♪

♪Life lost, lessons earned♪

♪Grew up, let go♪

♪Why cling to old sorrow♪

♪How many loops replay♪

♪Sighs steal my gaze away♪

♪Lost nights, bold bets♪

♪Nothing for my regrets♪

♪Winds raged, storms crashed♪

♪Dawns broke, I held fast♪

♪Cars fled, dreams fled♪

♪Every route left dead♪

♪Love left, hate stayed♪

♪Voice gone, tears paid♪

♪Grew strong, moved on♪

♪Why dwell when it's gone♪
