=Episode 6=

So Mr. Gao,

you're only willing to be a catalyst in my love life

and don't want to be part of it?

Your hair is messy.

Boss, it seems like Lin Huan'er has been the one flirting with you.

She moved your afternoon tea to the riverside.

Use these.

Okay.

(Exclusive: Letao CEO Gao Haiming Dating Mysterious Woman)

Look at what your precious son

has done.

Is he trying to provoke me?

(Exclusive: Letao CEO Gao Haiming Dating Mysterious Woman)

(Exclusive: Letao CEO Gao Haiming) I was wondering

(Dating Mysterious Woman) why the progress was so rapid,

but the fondness level hasn't increased at all.

Lin Huan'er,

you're destroying

the evidence of your two-timing.

No,

this is evidence of him using me.

Although I did want to outmaneuver him,

he actually outmaneuvered me first.

What's really going on between you two?

Explain it to me clearly.

There's really nothing between us.

You won't even tell me?

But I have nothing to say,

Mengmeng.

We really

haven't reached that stage.

In this whole thing,

I'm also a victim.

Think about it carefully.

Without my consent,

my photo was taken

and published in a magazine.

Shouldn't you comfort

my wounded heart?

But I have to remind you,

Xiaojue is coming back in a couple of days.

Be careful.

Why should I be careful?

Mengmeng,

there's really nothing

between Gao Haiming and me.

I believe you.

But still, be careful.

Careful of what?

What do you think?

(17 missed calls, 8 unread messages)

(Yunsheng Tower)

(Exclusive: Letao CEO Gao Haiming Dating Mysterious Woman)

Did you really land Mr. Gao?

You may not believe it,

but I genuinely know nothing.

You know nothing?

Yet you landed Mr. Gao?

No.

My girl,

that's impressive.

Hello?

(Lin, you're something.)

(You're the top contributor.)

(Promotion and raise.)

(Name it, and I'll give you whatever you want.)

I don't want anything.

Mr. Fang, I only have one request.

Let me keep doing errands for Letao.

I'm just meant to be a runner.

I love running errands.

As for rewards,

bonuses, and commissions,

just credit them all to Ms. Xiang.

Give them all to her. I want none.

That's all.

Lin Huan'er,

I actually thought

you won those deals on merit.

Turns out you're still relying on seducing men.

I order you now

to go to Rose Manor on Nantong Mountain.

I have no time. Not going.

(Side quest activated.)

(You must follow Xie Wanjun's instructions,)

(or you'll trigger the punishment.)

You're messing with me, aren't you?

Yes, I am messing with you.

Didn't you give me the chance?

Now, go

to Rose Manor on Nantong Mountain.

Or perhaps

you want to sabotage your company's

cooperation with us?

Immediately. Right now.

I'll go. I'll go.

I'll go, okay?

Ms. Xiang.

Where is she?

Wang Zhen, the contract.

Coming.

Huan'er.

Thank you.

Thanks, Ms. Xiang.

Why call me Ms. Xiang?

Call me Lingling.

Why?

I heard everything you said on the phone.

Focus on your work.

(Natural Beauty, Romantic Rendezvous, Dream Destination)

Thanks.

(Rose Manor)

Well, Wanjun.

I'm really disappointed in you.

What era is this?

You're still pulling

(Rose Manor) the "female lead in distress

in the middle of nowhere" trope?

With tricks like this,

how could you

ever win over Haiming?

I'm anxious just watching you.

(Rose Manor)

(Current stop: Nantong Mountain)

(Current stop: Nantong Mountain First bus: 5 AM, last Bus: 5 PM)

From 5 AM to 5 PM.

5:01 PM? What bad timing.

(Current stop: Nantong Mountain)

Hello?

So heartless.

Hello? Could you help me?

Hello?

How strange.

No way.

I don't believe this.

Hey handsome. Hello?

Here's the situation.

I don't have my...

I... I don't have my phone.

Could I borrow your phone to make a call?

I'm stranded here.

You... Can't you see me?

Can't you see me?

I get it.

Could it be

that only the male lead can save me?

The female lead's in trouble.

Only the male lead can save her.

Nobody else can help.

And I can't save myself either, right?

This is really cliched.

Could we get something original?

Mr. Gao,

Miss Xie saw the photos in the magazine.

Get to the point.

She's made Miss Lin

personally send the files to the suburbs.

I think

it's about to pour.

Mr. Gao?

So when will he come to rescue me?

(Call back 8754321. From Gao Haiming)

There he is.

Have me call him back?

But I don't have a phone.

Where is the...

(Smooth talk, seamless link) No way.

Why is there a phone booth here?

Absurd.

Did a phone booth just magically appear here?

Fine. I'll make the call.

(Smooth talk, seamless link)

Ten cents.

How long can I talk for ten cents?

Hello?

Mr. Gao, hello.

This is Lin Huan'er.

Miss Lin, what can I do for you?

Well,

time is tight.

I'll be brief.

I'm nowhere.

I know no one here.

There's not anyone

or a car in sight.

If possible,

please tell Mengmeng

and my family

I might not make it back today.

Okay.

Don't worry, I'll pass it along.

Wait, Mr. Gao, what I meant is

if you're free now,

can you come and save me?

I'm at Nantong Mountain's Rose...

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

That's it?

That was short.

Luo? Luo!

Mr. Gao.

Look into places near Nantong Mountain starting with "Rose".

Got it. I'm on it.

This weather

looks like rain.

Please, I'm struggling enough.

Don't make this harder for me.

Okay?

Please don't rain.

I won't complain about you, okay?

I mean it. I won't.

Don't you dare rain now.

No way.

(Could someone)

(suddenly appear and save me?)

Let's go.

Gao Haiming,

if you come pick me up right now,

I'll let bygones be bygones

and forgive you.

Miss, why are you here?

I'm a taxi driver. I just finished my shift.

Let me give you a ride.

Sure, thanks.

I see you don't have shoes.

I happen to have a pair right here.

Put these on for now.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

Come on, get in quick.

Thank you.

I have a bag of things here.

You can use them.

Tissues?

A towel?

A thermos?

Clean socks?

And a jacket?

I get it.

You're the Newbie Pack the system sent me, aren't you?

It's fine.

I get it.

Drive on.

Alright.

- You lousy system. - Buckle up now.

You do have some decency.

♪Old photos, yellowed♪

♪Timelines, tangled♪

♪I boarded a rickety time machine♪

(Mr. Gao, I found it.)

Do this.

Get a towel, a jacket,

and a pair of women's slippers.

Get the car.

Understood.

♪Lighting up my lonely corner♪

♪Love's time machine, flying on and on♪

Hello, sir.

Hello.

Give this bag to her.

But tell her it's from you.

Why don't you deliver it yourself?

Got it. Being romantic?

Got it. Don't worry.

Thanks.

♪Streaking across the sky♪

♪Just to hold you♪

(Male lead's fondness toward you is soaring,)

(currently at one percent.)

(Getting rained on is that effective?)

(Not bad.)

(Seems I need more interactions with Miss Xie from now on.)

Sir, take me to Fuchuang International.

Thanks.

Miss Xie,

here are the files you wanted.

Luckily, they didn't get wet.

You picked the right moment.

I was just about to leave.

After all this trouble,

are you satisfied now?

Just mediocre.

I wish you'd just disappear from my life forever.

Funny, that's exactly what I was thinking.

So listen carefully

to what I say next.

You have a critical flaw.

You're trying too hard.

but in the wrong direction.

Targeting me like this

might make you feel a bit better,

but does this get you

Gao Haiming's affection?

So,

figure out

what you truly want first.

Then work towards that.

That's my business.

What's it to you?

I'm just trying to tell you,

we shouldn't be rivals.

I'm not the person you need to deal with.

It should be Gao Haiming.

Focus on winning over Gao Haiming.

If you only target me,

even if you launch me into space,

new girls will continue

to appear around Gao Haiming.

Right?

And Miss Xie,

you're so beautiful,

charming,

and accomplished.

You shouldn't just be

a supporting character

in Gao Haiming's story.

You should be the female lead

in your own story.

Understand?

I'm done.

Go for it.

Being the female lead in my own story?

I need to be more proactive.

and make Gao Haiming be a supporting role to me.

Mr. Gao. Mr. Gao.

We have a problem. Miss Xie is here.

Come on everyone, have some snacks.

Miss Xie is treating you all

to afternoon tea on Mr. Gao's behalf.

- Thank you. - Here.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

You're welcome. Here.

Thank you.

Mr. Gao, Miss Xie is very thoughtful.

But you can't force love.

She's completely wasting her time.

Are our company's doors

open to anyone?

Thank you. Wishing you and Mr. Gao happiness.

Thank you.

Have other colleagues

get afternoon tea too.

Got it.

It must be the Chairman who let her in.

Here, Huan'er.

Take the cold medicine.

Look at you.

Why not go home and rest?

I'm fine. This is nothing.

I can't rest now.

Outstanding.

Mr. Fang. Mr. Fang.

Is this contract supposed to go to Letao?

I can do it.

You've got a cold?

This contract...

It's already processed.

But in your condition...

(Letao Maternal and Infant PR Contract) I-I'll deliver it.

Not appropriate.

(Letao Maternal and Infant PR Contract)

I must personally...

She's going that far?

Impressive.

Haiming.

Miss Xie.

I must discuss key business with Mr. Gao.

You may leave.

Don't enter unless called.

Go.

Haiming,

I made these myself.

Try some.

Miss Xie, what brings you here today?

I drafted it these past few days.

The Fuchuang and Letao Strategic Cooperation Agreement.

Please take a look.

Just send it to our legal department.

If there's nothing else...

Haiming,

we grew up together.

A decade-long friendship

is truly rare.

That was all childhood stuff.

Miss Lin.

Miss Lin. Mr. Gao and Miss Xie are inside.

No one's allowed in.

Miss Xie is here?

I'm delivering a file to Mr. Gao.

If you go in

and he gets mad, he'll yell at me.

I'll take responsibility.

You're safe.

When we were little,

to pick a flower for me,

you got scratched by a branch.

Let me see if the scar remains.

It's gone, Miss Xie.

- It's gone. - Let me see.

It's gone already.

- Let me... - It's really gone.

My timing couldn't be worse.

Well, you two carry on.

When you're done,

I'll discuss work with Mr. Gao.

Lin Huan'er, it's you again.

Are these the cookies you gave Mr. Gao?

How could you send cookies?

Mr. Gao quit sugar ages ago.

Didn't you know?

No worries.

Learn more before gifting next time.

It's easier after the first.

Just don't send sweets next time.

He dislikes them.

None of your business. Get out.

Wait, you...

Miss Xie, Miss Lin is my business partner.

This isn't appropriate.

You're defending her?

All partners are equal with me.

If there's nothing else today,

we'll talk another time.

Take care.

Are you okay?

You're sick?

Thanks to you.

I got sick after getting caught in the rain.

You owe me for this.

Then how can I repay you?

You can owe me for now.

Wait till I think of how.

Deal.

I'll get you a leave and take you home.

(Male lead's fondness)

(toward you rose to 22 percent.)

I was just about to call you, Huan'er.

Are you feeling better?

I'm out shopping.

Come join me.

Shopping at this hour?

Aren't I going to the police station event tomorrow?

I wanted to get some new outfits.

Going to the event?

For that romantically dense guy?

Got it.

I understand.

Enjoy your shopping then.

I won't join you tonight.

I'll get you some supper later.

No need. I'm not hungry.

Alright. Get some rest.

Hello?

Hello. Why aren't you here today?

The event starts soon.

Attendance

doesn't match registrations.

My superior is asking me.

I probably can't make it today.

What's wrong? Feeling unwell?

Not me. Huan'er.

Is she better?

She should be feeling better now.

Officer, you're so handsome.

Excuse me.

Can you show me this?

Yeah, hold on.

Sorry.

Everyone's pairing up now.

I need to go.

Wait.

Pairing up?

So dramatic.

It's just a little rain.

She ran to Haiming to play the delicate one.

Is that necessary?

Wanjun, if you want to achieve big things,

you can't lose your cool.

Dad, it's not me losing my cool.

It's Lin Huan'er

who is incredibly cunning.

This move

not only made Haiming feel sorry for her,

but also painted me

as a petty and malicious person.

I will think of something.

Do you want

to speed things up with Haiming?

Of course.

Then visit him tomorrow

to discuss this matter properly.

Tomorrow?

Sooner rather than later.

Letao is transitioning.

They need our support.

Sooner or later,

Letao will rely on our Fuchuang.

He won't escape you then.

(Letao Tower)

Mr. Gao,

Mr. Lin and Mr. Huang

are in supplier renewal negotiation.

Due to the recent

diaper insect infestation,

agency prices have fluctuated.

They hope

we can offer some plans soon

to reduce the impact

and enhance brand influence.

Make an international call to Mr. Lin and Mr. Huang now.

First renew the contracts, then plan the marketing.

Understood.

How's our plan?

The factory heads will arrive tomorrow.

The meeting time is up to you.

And the materials and R&D team?

All arranged.

Dr. Zhang is pretty much on board to sign.

Got it.

(Yunsheng Tower)

(He sent me home when I was sick)

(and got me yellow peach cans.)

(Plus the comforting text.)

(He must like me, right?)

(Why is the fondness still 22 percent?)

(Fondness: 22.2 percent)

(22.2 percent?)

Huan'er, here.

Fuchuang requires us

to deliver the next quarter's

marketing concept

and proposal

for Hongsen Supermarket by 3 PM today.

- (You went to a loan shark?) - Then we should

- (Some men in black came.) - make sure to deliver...

(Don't come back.)

(Remember, stay away.)

Something seems to have happened at my home.

Something happened?

Most likely.

Then you should go quickly.

Then...

Work isn't important.

Family comes first.

- Thanks. - Wang Zhen,

you go.

What's going on?

Where's my home?

You've misunderstood. We didn't do it.

You're accusing the wrong people.

We're all good people here.

Is this the place?

Sweetie.

Yeah, here.

You came back after all.

Come quickly.

Miss Lin,

you're finally back.

We only came to deliver a message,

but Mr. Lin won't let us leave now.

Total misunderstanding.

What are you talking about?

Sweetie, they hit me.

Sir, you're lying.

Did you hit him? Did you?

Impossible! How could we hit you?

Would we dare hit him?

No? And then?

Don't listen to him at all.

We couldn't possibly hit anyone.

And they smashed up our place. Look.

That didn't happen at all.

We couldn't have done it.

You're misled. Don't believe him.

He smashed our place.

He smashed everything.

- Alright. - Everything!

Quiet. Be quiet.

Let me sort this out.

First, let me get this straight.

You're my alcoholic dad, right?

I didn't drink today.

You didn't drink today?

Then I should have

a loner sister.

I'm right here.

What's going on?

Dad, stop acting.

She won't believe you.

What are you talking about?

You can't side with outsiders.

You're young.

You wouldn't lie.

I'll listen to you.

You never came home.

So Dad seized the chance

to lure you back.

And them?

They said you took money from their boss,

but didn't do the job well.

So they wanted Dad to help them out.

You work for Mr. Gao?

Miss Lin, we really didn't hit anyone.

The mess on the floor wasn't our doing.

Yes, we're professionals.

- We're pros. - We wouldn't do such things.

Right.

You are pros?

Then how did Sweetie and Spicy

fall on the floor?

Who smashed them? Who?

It wasn't us.

We don't know who did it.

Regarding Sweetie and Spicy,

if it was you guys...

All right. You can leave.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Stop.

Where's Mr. Gao?

Take me to see him.

Sweetie, you can't go with them.

They're all bad guys. It's dangerous.

Enough. They're just workers.

Yes.

Exactly. We're just workhorses.

Then are you coming back?

I'll be right back.

I'll cook something tasty while I wait.

Okay, no problem.

You cook.

Lead the way.

Okay.

Take care of Dad.

Don't worry.

Remember to call us.

Sweetie and Spicy.

I can't turn in my homework.

The teacher will scold me.

(Exclusive: Letao CEO Gao Haiming Dating Mysterious Woman)

Hello?

Haiming, it's me.

Sir.

I'm at the cigar bar now.

Don't hang up the phone.

I'll be meeting Lin Huan'er soon.

I want you to hear

what kind of woman

Lin Huan'er really is.

(Exclusive) This was your doing, right?

Yes.

I arranged it.

The photos turned out well, right?

As you can see,

Gao Haiming and I are currently in love.

Love deeply.

You sound so self-righteous.

Don't forget

what you promised me when you

took my money in the car.

Mr. Gao.

Taking payment and doing the job

is perfectly justified, right?

Now you act one way in front of me

and another behind my back.

Isn't that rather underhanded?

Mr. Gao, you sent people to harass my family.

Was that not underhanded?

It seems I didn't offer you

enough incentive, did I?

I wasn't wrong about you.

You're truly a greedy

and insatiable woman.

I admit it.

Not only am I vain.

I'm also insatiably greedy.

How candidly you admit it.

I rather like that.

Tell me.

How much do you want

to leave my son?

Name your price.

You seem to have forgotten our five-month arrangement.

I remember the five-month agreement.

I thought you were setting up

for an expensive breakup settlement.

But I never expected

it was merely your stalling tactic.

Your real goal

has been to latch onto my son Haiming,

climbing the social ladder.

How delusional you are.

You're not just insatiable.

You're also scheming.

My point is,

Gao Haiming isn't some puppet.

How could I possibly control him

to execute my plans?

Likewise,

I doubt you can control him either.

Why would I control him?

We're perfectly fine.

Why would I control him?

I just want him to realize

what kind of woman

by his side truly is.

If I were you,

before summoning that woman here,

I'd have talked to my son first

to understand his perspective.

Is he my son

or your son?

Don't I know him?

Why should I talk with him?

I only need to talk to you.

Stop beating around the bush.

I'll ask you one last time.

Just how much money

will it take for you to leave my son?

It seems to you

that only money can solve problems.

I don't think you understand Gao Haiming at all.

Nor do you know what he needs

and what he truly wants.

Or rather,

you simply don't care.

By the way, Mr. Gao.

No need to count it.

Not a cent short.
