[Love Has Fireworks]

[Episode 10]

Qian Fei.

Director Fang.

The materials you brought back from Chengdu are very important.

They affect our cooperation with Shan Li Fang.

But you might not grasp the stakes right now.

So today, learn more, observe more, say less,

and ideally, say nothing.

Boss.

-Okay, I see. -Are we just going to forget about

-the Shan Li Fang Hotel Group's -Director Fang.

falsified data from before?

-I'm so happy to see you. -Thank you for your patience.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Not at all.

I'm very happy you're here.

-Mr. Wu? -Please.

Mr. Li?

Director Fang.

Come, welcome.

Please.

Come.

Come.

[Shan Li Fang Hotel Group]

Welcome.

We've been looking forward to seeing you.

This way, please.

Mr. Li.

This is your office.

Not bad.

Come, this way, please.

This is the conference room.

The pantry.

Director Fang.

Not bad.

Your office is here.

It's grander than mine.

How is it? Take a look.

This is the independent office area

we set up for the joint sponsor team.

If you have any other needs,

just let us know.

We will do whatever it takes

to meet your needs on the battlefield.

Before Shan Li Fang Hotel Group goes to the review meeting,

it's a test for all of us.

Be well prepared, stay calm,

and handle it professionally—

there will be no problem.

The professional abilities of both of you are undeniable.

You are both benchmarks in the industry.

Therefore,

we'll follow your lead.

As for work-related matters,

once you move in,

we can coordinate them step by step.

Okay.

It's getting late.

Let's go to the banquet hall for a meal.

-Let's talk while eating, alright? Let's go. -Okay.

After you.

Come.

Not bad.

Right?

Everyone is here.

On behalf of the group,

I welcome you all to Shan Li Fang.

Shan Li Fang's listing

will rely on your full cooperation.

Let me make a toast.

After this drink,

we will be fighting side by side.

Although Mr. Wu is very hospitable,

we still have an important meeting after the meal.

So please don't drink too much.

I wish us success.

Chairman Liao won't attend the meeting this afternoon.

Vice President Liao will attend.

Chairman Liao isn't coming?

He has an emergency

and asked Vice President Liao to attend on his behalf.

I heard Vice President Liao is young and beautiful,

and she's also very capable. Is that right?

Yes.

Vice President Liao is just as hardworking

as Chairman Liao was when he was young.

Sorry I'm late.

Vice President Liao, I'm so glad you could make it.

Let me introduce you.

This is Vice President Liao

of Shan Li Fang Hotel Group.

Hello.

And this is...

Wu, is there any need for an introduction?

Director Fang from He Jing Securities—

who in Shanghai doesn't know her?

You flatter me.

Seeing you today,

you're even younger and prettier than I imagined.

And this is...

Mr. Li.

Vice President Liao.

My father often praises you,

telling me to learn from you.

Now I finally have the chance.

You're too polite, Vice President Liao.

Zhizhong Investment is here to serve.

I hope we have a pleasant cooperation.

Absolutely.

The person who will be liaising with you

is our group's CFO,

Mr. Wang Ruohai.

He will be in charge of coordinating

with the joint sponsor team.

Hello.

Hello.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

I'll be relying on your support from now on.

Don't just stand there. Please take a seat.

Okay.

We are a family from now on.

Ruohai.

This silver cod with black truffle and lily bulb

is a new dish developed by the Chinese kitchen.

I heard the silver cod

was just flown in today.

I can't eat seafood today.

Try it for me.

Here, Director Fang.

A toast to you.

I was just about to toast you.

Cheers.

Here's to our cooperation.

Here's to our cooperation.

Director Wang,

a toast to you two.

Hope our project goes well.

And please give us your guidance in the future.

Definitely.

Here.

Come on.

Vice President.

Drink less. We have work this afternoon.

Thank you.

A toast to you.

To our successful cooperation.

To our successful cooperation.

Thank you, thank you.

Qian Fei.

Director Wang is sitting opposite you.

We will have to

deal with him a lot in our future work.

Later,

go and offer him a toast.

[Don't go if you don't want to.]

Ms. Liao, here.

I must offer you a toast.

It's our first time meeting.

A toast to you.

[So you already knew it.]

You are...

Yes, it's not convenient for me to drink today.

That's fine.

I hope we can work together more in the future.

Director Wang, I'd like to propose a toast to you.

I wish you success in your career, a bright future,

and a happy life.

I'll finish it in one go. You can drink as you please.

Let's all drink as we plea—

Okay, please sit.

Vice President Liao, I'd like to propose a toast to you too.

Director Fang, who is this?

This is my assistant, Qian Fei.

Didn't you notice Vice President Liao doesn't drink?

I'll finish it in one go. You can drink as you please.

Alright, it's the thought that counts.

We have work this afternoon.

Okay.

I'm happy today, Director Fang.

It's my first time meeting Vice President Liao...

and Director Wang,

so I'm really happy today.

-I'd like to propose a toast to this moment. -No matter how happy...

Let me propose a toast.

I suggest that since we have work this afternoon,

we shouldn't drink so much.

How about we drink tea instead of alcohol?

Great.

-Right? -Good idea.

Very good. Come on.

Stop drinking. Stop drinking.

Well...

Right?

-Come on. -I wish us a pleasant cooperation

in our future work.

Let this cup of tea say it all.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Thanks for your hard work.

Please have a seat.

Mr. Li.

I heard you specially visited

Shan Li Fang's old headquarters in Chengdu.

You are really dedicated.

I'd like to make a toast to you.

Thank you, Vice President Liao.

You are too polite.

It's just our job.

Did you gain anything from this trip to Chengdu?

We gained quite a lot.

Assistant Qian, you went there too?

Qian Fei, are you drunk?

Why don't you go take a rest?

I'm not drunk.

And I don't need a rest.

Vice President Liao.

Director Wang.

Shan Li Fang Hotel Group

provided our sponsor team and audit department

with many unreasonable financial statements

and concealed a lot of real data

during its preparation for going public.

Especially in terms of intangible assets,

there were significant discrepancies.

May I ask the reason?

What did you say?

According to the CSRC regulations and the law,

companies with severe asset fraud

are not allowed to go to the review meeting.

Director Wang, it's your first time participating in a listing project.

Don't you know about this?

Here is the thing.

Well...

If the accounts are falsified,

even if the IPO is successful,

you can still be held accountable.

But the good thing is

we found it just in time.

So as long as Party A provides

true and sufficient financial data,

there is still plenty of time.

Don't worry. Let's just enjoy our meal.

Please.

Let's just focus on this meal.

I'm sorry.

I sent Qian Fei to Chengdu to be Mr. Li's assistant.

I didn't expect that in just a few days,

she would be poached by Zhizhong.

You see, Mr. Li is indeed quite charming.

Director Fang.

Well...

Director Fang, your words are...

profound.

Well,

Vice President Liao, here's the thing.

I also planned to tell you in detail

what Qian Fei said in this afternoon's meeting.

This kind of problem definitely needs to be brought up.

But I didn't expect that...

But it doesn't matter.

Anyway, sooner or later,

it has to be discussed in a meeting.

Let's eat first.

[Shan Li Fang Hotel Group] [Conference Room]

2022, 202...

Come on. Let's continue.

Ms. Liao.

I'm sorry.

I really don't know why

Qian Fei is in the sponsor team.

But don't worry.

It's all my fault.

I will do my best to make up for it.

It will definitely not affect the company's listing.

Come here.

I told you

to call me Shiyu when no one is around.

Why do you always forget?

I'm tired.

Give me a massage.

We're at the office.

There aren't even any cameras here.

Who could see us?

Do you think you know this place better than I do?

President Li.

Alright. Thanks for your hard work.

Qian Fei.

Come to my office at 5:00.

Boss.

That old fox Fang Yun is really something.

I didn't expect her to kick the ball back to us.

But we are men.

We won't stoop to her level.

I must say, you did a great job at today's meeting.

You were articulate and carried yourself with confidence and composure.

Boss.

I'm talking to you. What are you thinking about?

Nothing.

So shall we go back to Zhizhong?

You go back first. I have something to do.

I'll head back first then.

Qian Fei, oh, Qian Fei.

Why did you lose your composure like that today?

They're here.

Ruohai, I can't eat seafood today.

Can you taste it for me?

Okay.

Haven't you already forgotten about that cheater?

Is he worth you doing this?

Qian Fei, wake up.

Assistant Qian.

Vice President Liao, what's the matter?

I heard you've been doing chores in the back office of the investment bank.

Now you've joined the project team

and are participating in our Shan Li Fang Hotel Group's

IPO project.

This shows you are quite capable.

I hope you can keep your personal and professional life separate.

You really think too highly of me.

I'm just using the limited time I have

to do my part well.

Satisfying my boss and clients is enough for me.

As for other private matters,

I have no time to consider them.

Miss Qian, you're highly capable,

and your words are quite striking.

We've seen it at the banquet.

Right, Ruohai?

Qian Fei and I have known each other for years,

but this is our first time working together.

But I believe that, with her ability,

she can definitely handle this job well.

Well then,

I'll wait and see.

Let's see what else about you

can surprise me.

Shan Li Fang Hotel Group

is a client we do our best to serve.

Surprising you isn't my goal.

Being able to help Director Wang check for omissions

and assist Shan Li Fang Hotel Group in its smooth IPO

is my honor.

Then let me say a few words on a personal note.

You used to work in the back office.

Now that you've finally joined the project team,

you should cherish it.

Then thank you for the reminder, Director Wang.

Then let me respond on a personal note as well.

Wasting a few years is actually not a big deal.

Only by wasting opportunities do you realize how precious they are.

Encountering some scumbags is unavoidable in life.

The Marketing Department's meeting is about to start.

Let's go.

Director Fang.

I've found out everything.

That Wang Ruohai is Qian Fei's ex-boyfriend.

He used to work at Nalan Maide Bank.

The staff there all know Qian Fei.

I heard they even bought a house for marriage,

booked the wedding banquet,

and were just short of having the wedding.

So,

Wang Ruohai left Qian Fei...

because of Liao Shiyu?

Probably.

Qian Fei used every possible means

to join the project team for Shan Li Fang Hotel Group,

probably just to drag him down

and bring him to ruin together.

Otherwise, why did she cause such a big mess?

Is Qian Fei really that scheming?

Who knows?

But Qian Fei could be...

a menace in our project team.

I'd actually like to see where it goes.

[Office]

[Are you busy now?]

[Dang Yu]

[Dang Yu]

[It's okay if you don't reply.]

[I'm just here to show my presence.]

[He Jing Securities Co., Ltd.]

Okay.

I'll leave it to you.

I'll do it for you this afternoon, okay?

Sure.

[He Jing Securities Co., Ltd.]

[Office]

Director Fang.

Director Fang, I'm here to apologize.

I'm really sorry.

You kept telling me

to observe more, learn more, speak less,

and preferably not speak at all.

But this time, I still...

You're almost 30, right?

How are you not even as good as an intern?

You've been working for so many years.

Yet you still can't control yourself.

I'm sorry. I was really too impulsive

and reckless this time.

It caused

such a bad impact on you and the company

and affected everyone's work.

I am willing to make a public self-criticism.

I hope you can forgive me.

Many things

can't be solved just by a self-criticism.

Li Yifei was quite kind today.

He didn't kick us when we were down.

Otherwise, He Jing

would have been destroyed by you alone.

We might have been kicked out of the project team.

Do you know that?

Do you think a self-criticism can solve this?

I know how serious my mistake is this time.

But I still hope

you can give me one last chance.

You know that to return to He Jing this time,

I put in so much effort and hard work.

Don't talk to me about your effort.

Who here didn't put in a lot of effort?

To win the Shan Li Fang project,

do you know how many all-nighters the whole team pulled

and how much overtime we worked?

Is there anyone in investment banking who doesn't put in the effort?

Is there anyone who puts in less?

You think your little bit of effort is a big deal?

You're far from it!

How can I use someone like you?

Director Fang, I...

Mr. Li.

Did I come at a bad time?

No, not at all.

Come in, Mr. Li.

Director Fang.

I brought you some

apples grown by my relatives back home.

They are organic.

Thank you.

That's very thoughtful of you.

Please, have a seat.

Okay.

You can go now.

It's fine, Qian Fei.

Why don't you stay here and listen?

Director Fang.

To be honest,

I've run into some difficulties lately.

What kind of difficulties?

You might laugh at me,

but it's my assistant, Zhao De.

You remember him, right?

He has a lot on his plate at Zhizhong right now.

He's completely overwhelmed

and has no time for things on my end.

Just when we're short-handed,

he pulled a stunt like this.

I really...

Sometimes I really envy you.

Surrounded by a crowd of stu—

No, you have a lot of talents.

Every single one is capable.

When I think about my current situation,

I just feel...

upset. I really do.

I really envy you.

I see. You're short-handed, right?

Why didn't you ask Zhizhong to give you more staff?

I wish I could.

Since this collaboration with you,

in my eyes, those people in Zhizhong...

It's too hard. It really is.

Do you think

there's anyone at He Jing available…

I mean, who can help you?

I wouldn't dare

to ask you for people

like Cui and Dai Xi.

They are indeed very capable.

Because I just want to find a special assistant.

It would be a waste of their talents.

Right?

I think someone like...

well...

someone like Qian Fei,

who is averagely capable,

as an assistant...

would be fine.

So if it's convenient for you,

could we let her be my special assistant

during our cooperation?

What do you think?

[He Jing Securities Co., Ltd.]

Hello.

Hello, I'm the security guard of this building.

Have you been on duty here

since 3:30 p.m.?

Yes. What's wrong?

Here's the thing.

Take a look. Do you know this person?

Why did he follow me here?

He's still in the lobby.

If you feel

he poses a threat to your safety,

you can leave through the back door after work.

Okay. Thank you.

Okay. You're welcome.

[He Jing Securities Co., Ltd.]

He doesn't need a special assistant.

He just wants me to run errands.

Pour-over coffee?

Did you already know about this?

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

I was protecting you, okay?

Well,

if you had known earlier

that Wang Ruohai was the CFO of Shan Li Fang,

would you have tried so hard to return to He Jing

and join the project team?

Would you?

Let me tell you.

I've been in investment banking for so many years.

I've seen my fair share of people.

I genuinely think you have what it takes for this industry.

I just cherish talent.

I don't want to see you

lose an important job opportunity

and a turning point in your life

over such insignificant love.

And as your master, let me give you another truth.

Don't value love above everything else.

In this world, only work

will not betray your effort and passion.

I've already moved on.

And he has someone new by his side now.

I respect his choice.

At least I know

I once loved someone with all my heart.

That's enough.

Are you a woodpecker?

You're so stubborn.

If you had really moved on,

in the banquet hall today,

you wouldn't have so aggressively

pointed out Shan Li Fang's financial problems.

Well...

How was I supposed to know

I'd run into the two of them?

I have moved on.

But seeing them together,

I just got so angry all of a sudden.

I couldn't think that much.

It's normal.

I could only turn my anger into courage

to say it all out.

That's why

whenever I see you not thinking clearly,

I feel glad

that my parents didn't make me too stupid.

Seriously.

You went against Director Fang's will

in front of so many people today.

She could have easily fired you.

You worked so hard to get into the project team.

What?

You just want a one-day tour?

Hurry up and thank your master.

You should thank me for saving you.

Alright.

Thank...

Thank you.

That's more like it.

And also, from today on,

you're my special assistant.

From now on,

you have to listen to me.

Only at the company.

Only for work.

I'm still your master even in private.

Once a teacher, always a teacher.

You've called me master for so many days.

How could I just leave you alone?

In your dreams.

Are you trying to make me your 24/7 servant?

Don't say that about me.

You read my mind.

You are overthinking it.

You think because you're my temporary boss now,

I wouldn't dare kick you out?

Whether I move out or not depends on the contract, right?

Work is work, and sharing an apartment is a separate matter.

We shouldn't mix them up.

You'd better not.

You never

stop talking.

It doesn't hurt to listen, you know?

Fine.

I wasted these apples on you today.

Where did you get these apples anyway?

I bought them at the supermarket downstairs.

I knew it.

But they're really organic.

I'm serious.

Fine.

Farewell.

"Farewell"?

So dramatic.

So childish.

So?

Have you figured out how to tell Qian Fei?

I have to tell her sooner or later anyway.

Besides, she went to Shan Li Fang for due diligence today.

I think she must have seen Wang Ruohai already.

And I believe she has moved on.

You ordered so much?

-Have a seat. -Why did you get caught in the rain?

Hurry up and dry off.

I'm starving.

I knew you'd be hungry.

Were you busy on your first day of due diligence?

It's a long story.

Can I eat first?

-Okay. Eat up. -Eat up.

Why are you suddenly treating me to a meal?

Just dropping by to show off how much we love each other.

So dramatic.

You can still laugh?

Fei.

Actually, Jingjing and I are here

to apologize.

What are you afraid of?

Whatever happens, I've got your back.

Just say it.

Don't think that just because Qian Fei didn't mention it,

-you can get away with it. -Alright, alright.

Did you see...

you-know-who today?

You two already knew Wang Ruohai went to Shan Li Fang,

didn't you?

Shan Li Fang is the parent company of Xinxin Vision,

and Wang Ruohai has just been appointed CFO there.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

It was for your career.

What if you knew that jerk joined Shan Li Fang

and you stopped trying hard

to get into Fang Yun's project team?

I was doing it for your own good.

Don't you understand my good intentions?

How could I not understand that, silly girl?

It's a good thing you didn't tell me.

Otherwise,

I wouldn't have tried so hard to get into that company.

You know me best.

See?

Men mean nothing.

Here's to our chemistry.

Cheers.

Never try to guess what women are thinking. Seriously.

So you two treated me to dinner today

just for this?

That's totally unnecessary.

Jingjing and I are very close.

We are not like those fake friends.

Alright.

Then let's split the bill today.

No way.

I never said I forgive you.

It has to be on you.

Alright.

Well... did Liao Shiyu and Wang Ruohai

make things difficult for you?

Now that they are your clients,

I'm a bit worried.

Like you said, they are my clients.

Clients are the kings.

They won't pick on a nobody like me.

Don't worry.

Alright then.

If this woman, because of this,

gives you a hard time and fires you,

you have nothing to fear.

After we get married,

my husband will support me, and I will support you.

"My husband will support me, and I will support you."

Wait.

No, the first sentence.

I can support you too.

No.

After we get married?

What does that mean?

It means...

Yao Jingjing!

You guys are getting married?

Didn't I tell you at the very beginning

that we're here to show off our love today?

Come on!

When did you propose?

Don't even mention it.

You know what? That day,

I had just bought the ring

and hadn't set up the proposal scene yet.

I was taking a shower,

and she found the ring.

Let me tell you how it went down.

If I hadn't proposed to her right there,

she would have forced me to hand over

my imaginary mistress.

Then he knelt on the ground and proposed,

wearing a bathrobe and barefoot.

It was not romantic at all.

Not bad, guys.

Too bad I wasn't there.

But who cares if it's romantic?

Look.

You are wearing a big ring.

And you say it's not romantic?

I never thought I'd see the day

when our Jingjing would actually be won over by someone.

Who was it that kept telling me

all those downsides of getting married early?

Now look at you.

I wanted to get married,

but now I don't even have a guy.

But you,

your career and love life are both successful.

Congratulations.

Come on.

Let me offer you a toast.

You tamed a demoness.

You really did a great service to the people.

How am I a demoness?

Why would you say that about me?

We are at least

a strong alliance, right?

Look, Shan Li Fang is about to go public.

Then Xinxin Vision's options in Shan Li Fang

can be cashed out.

Then we'd achieve financial freedom

and have no money worries anymore.

So why not

take this chance to get married

and have a kid?

How many kids are you planning to have?

We'll just let nature take its course.

Besides, even if we do get married,

we'll still keep our current lifestyle.

Even if we have a kid,

we'll raise them together and share the responsibilities.

Right?

Absolutely.

The landlady won't let me down.

♪ Hey, you, why is it you again? ♪

♪ You always bump into my little secrets ♪

♪ In my eyebrows and eyelashes ♪

♪ In the curve of my lips, in my hair ♪

♪ Like the raindrops in spring I like ♪

♪ Or the kitten in the afternoon ♪

♪ Hey, you, why is it you again? ♪

♪ You always easily arouse my desire to protect you ♪

♪ Seeing through my secret thoughts ♪

♪ My hesitation, and my moody side ♪

♪ Like the beer and fried chicken in autumn I like ♪

♪ And the spicy fish in winter ♪

Didn't you get off work early, Assistant Qian?

Where are you?

I'm off work, so Assistant Qian won't be around you.

I noticed you hadn't come back.

I was afraid you hadn't had dinner,

so I couldn't help but worry.

-If you want to eat the food in the fridge, -I need to go to the toilet.

stop beating around the bush.

You know how to use the microwave, right?

Lu Ze.

You must treat our Jingjing well in the future.

That's for sure.

Our Jingjing is a good girl.

Although she can be a bit willful sometimes,

it's because her family

didn't give her enough sense of security.

You must be very tolerant of her in this regard in the future.

The biggest advantage of marrying me

is that I'm okay with all her strengths and weaknesses,

as well as her fussiness and insecurity.

What a humblebrag.

By the way,

the IPO preparations for Shan Li Fang have started.

We will simultaneously analyze

the financial status of all Shan Li Fang subsidiaries,

including yours.

Is that so?

I don't know the details.

I thought only after a successful IPO

would someone come supervise us.

It has already begun.

If I remember correctly,

I should have seen

your company's statements.

The accounts didn't look good.

It seems a few recent financing rounds also failed.

It's true. The company is losing money now.

But it's a startup in its early stage.

The product isn't commercialized yet.

Plus the continuous investment,

this is bound to happen.

You've been losing money for 3 consecutive years,

yet Shan Li Fang still keeps you

on board during its IPO process.

It shows that

they value you quite a bit.

They say capital is short-sighted,

but I feel quite lucky

to have encountered Shan Li Fang.

Chairman Liao is a good man.

But I still think...

You're back?

Look how happy you are.

You two must

be happy forever.

Congratulations again.

-Cheers. -Come on.

Cheers.

[In the next episode of "Love Has Fireworks"]

Oh mama!

What are you doing?

Putting on some spooky act and taking advantage of me?

I heard

your joint sponsor team is a mess,

and you still haven't found a solution.

Here's the thing.

I'll definitely come up with a plan as soon as possible.

I'm just waiting for your word.

Do you know why Director Fang

is giving you the cold shoulder?

Whether Director Fang accepts my apology or not,

I'm mentally prepared.
