Vice Director Jiang.

What is it?

Mr. Mu asked me to remind you

to find out the method to unlock the secondary key as soon as possible.

Got it. You may go.

Vice Director Jiang.

I forgot to mention earlier,

Mr. Mu wants Vice Director Bai to work with you.

Get out.

Vice Director Bai.

What now?

HR asked me to let you know that your background check has passed.

Wait.

What?

Thinking of admitting defeat?

It's still too soon to say who will win.

Anything else you forgot to say?

No, that's all.

Sorry to disturb you. Don't catch a cold.

Vice Director Jiang and Vice Director Bai fought in the office over a position.

They're holding each other in check now.

You should be at ease now, right?

A tie.

Let's watch together.

No one hides anything from anyone.

(File merging)

(Facial recognition in progress)

Whose face is that?

Intern.

Did you finish printing what I asked for?

- Why is it taking so long? - I'm working on it. Almost done.

Get me a cup of water.

- Hurry up. - Okay.

What's with you?

Has our company run out of people to hire?

Why are we recruiting all sorts of riffraff?

Exactly, Vice Director Jiang.

You should straighten out HR.

They're letting all kinds of strays into the company.

I'm talking about you.

I forgot to make the introductions.

This

is our chairman's younger sister,

Nong Qianya.

If any of you make mistakes in the future,

remember to go to her to receive your punishment.

Yes.

Young mistress, let me have that.

I will get my work handled as soon as possible.

If there's nothing else, I'll get back to work.

Young mistress, please guide us with our work.

Sit.

Before an employee joins,

they need a nice ID photo.

We'll make one for you ourselves.

Full service for the young mistress.

(Facial recognition)

Thank you for earlier.

If there's nothing else,

I'll get back to work.

Remember to give a five-star rating.

Bai Fan,

I was the one who saved her.

How did it turn into thanking you?

Don't be jealous.

Back when you were my instructor, I already wanted to tell you this.

You always wore that scowl.

Who wouldn't avoid you?

With your kind of attitude,

opportunistic

and untrustworthy.

Next time, I'll treat you to a meal.

Brother Bai.

When will that be?

I'll personally come pick you up.

Just now,

it was you all.

Now she's directly inviting you to eat.

Then what am I?

Handsome,

but a bit of a headache.

(Enter password)

It needs a password.

Leave this kind of thing to Yaoji.

Instructor Dong.

(Gale Special Operations Academy)

Clues indicate that

Amethyst Group's Supercontrol No. 3

is involved in illegal experiments.

Gale Training Camp has received a request from the police

to intercept the execution of its key authentication command.

How's the situation on your end?

Acceptance passed, and hostility maxed out.

I declare Operation Higher

officially launched.

Instructor Dong.

Bai Fan standing by.

(Gale Special Operations Academy)

(Operation Higher initiated)

How long will it take to crack the disc password?

At least two weeks.

Faster.

Get it done in one week.

Here's the experimental data from Xiaotong's accident vehicle.

I've waited three years.

I don't want to wait any longer.

Brother.

Do I sing well?

Yes.

Then I'll sing for you every day from now on.

(Chen Jiachuan.)

(How long do you intend to keep punishing yourself?)

May I sit?

Go ahead.

At least let the song finish.

What did you say?

I remember Xiaotong used to love this song.

Be a man.

Say what you want directly.

Alright.

We had some misunderstandings before.

But it's not like we should cut ties forever.

We're old friends.

It's nothing.

At least finish this drink.

I'm not drinking with you.

It's not much.

Just two glasses.

Not even one.

Sorry, brother.

Back in Gale, you could really hold your liquor, couldn't you?

Don't you dare bring up Gale.

Alright. You've had too much to drink, so you call the shots.

Fine, you win.

Come on, sit down.

Easy now.

If you can't handle it, don't push yourself.

You saying I can't?

Let me ask you.

Is there anyone in this world you haven't argued with?

That's me teaching the world how to behave.

Have you ever thought

that maybe

Gale never gave up on you

but you gave up on Gale?

So what you mean is

you went undercover in Amethyst Group

to stand up for me?

Would you believe me if I said I was saving you from the fire?

Don't even think about it.

Take one of these when you get back.

You'll wake up more of a man tomorrow.

Trying to poison me?

Yes.

Poison you.

Take it or leave it.

If you won't, throw it away.

Go home yourself.

Just try throwing it away.

I...

(Chen Jiachuan.)

(You really haven't changed that infuriating temper.)

(But it has been three years.)

(You should learn to let go.)

(Xiaotong wouldn't want to see you like this.)

(I know you need time,)

(but I'll be here with you.)
