Thank you, Ms. Fang.

24
00:01:51,060 --> 00:01:52,300

What about the service team?

64
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:44,660
I want 60 percent of the key staff

65

What about you, Mr. Li?

70
00:06:57,340 --> 00:06:59,340
I think Ms. Fang's plan is excellent.

Right now,

72
00:07:01,260 --> 00:07:02,420

Don't tell me you've been lying here
all night.

79
00:07:25,220 --> 00:07:26,460
No. I was about to fall asleep.

85
00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:40,660
Then what's this?

00:07:41,140 --> 00:07:41,980
Give up already?

87

88
00:07:43,540 --> 00:07:44,420
Ready to call it quits?

89
00:07:45,340 --> 00:07:46,860
I know it's unfair to you.

90
00:07:47,260 --> 00:07:48,700
But if you stop fighting for it,

91
00:07:48,733 --> 00:07:50,911
your job isn't going to come back
on its own, right?

92
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:51,900
It's not that.

114
00:08:30,660 --> 00:08:31,260
So?

115
00:08:32,060 --> 00:08:33,460

Well,

166
00:10:27,060 --> 00:10:27,820
you know

167
00:10:27,820 --> 00:10:28,540
what you look like.

168
00:10:28,580 --> 00:10:30,340
No amount of editing
is going to change that.

169
00:10:30,780 --> 00:10:31,820
It's a little ugly,

170
00:10:31,900 --> 00:10:33,333
but you did a pretty good job.

171
00:10:33,900 --> 00:10:34,780
Of course.

172
00:10:35,900 --> 00:10:36,620
But look,

173
00:10:37,580 --> 00:10:39,620
Fulaxida has had its setbacks, too.

174
00:10:39,740 --> 00:10:40,180
Right?

175
00:10:40,420 --> 00:10:41,620
And it got through them.

176
00:10:42,260 --> 00:10:43,300
So I believe

00:10:43,580 --> 00:10:45,740

179
00:10:49,100 --> 00:10:51,340
the last thing you said in that video.

180
00:10:51,620 --> 00:10:53,660
"As long as you keep running
toward hope,

181
00:10:53,820 --> 00:10:55,940

00:11:01,700 --> 00:11:02,900
kicked me off the sponsor team,

185
00:11:03,420 --> 00:11:04,660
but I believe Shanlifang

186
00:11:04,860 --> 00:11:06,220
will ask me to come back.

187
00:11:19,460 --> 00:11:22,620
As long as you keep running toward hope,

188
00:11:23,900 --> 00:11:24,220
Uh...

189
00:11:24,620 --> 00:11:25,500
What comes next?

190
00:11:25,740 --> 00:11:28,420
Hope will arrive sooner than you expect.

191
00:11:28,620 --> 00:11:29,380
Not bad.

192
00:11:30,660 --> 00:11:31,660
You've got the gist of it.

193
00:11:31,780 --> 00:11:33,200
I didn't teach you for nothing.

194
00:11:35,460 --> 00:11:37,660
- You're a good apprentice.
- I'm a good apprentice.

195
00:11:39,220 --> 00:11:40,500
I knew it.

196
00:11:42,780 --> 00:11:43,900
Not bad.

197
00:11:45,220 --> 00:11:47,540
Now you can guess what I'm about to say.

198
00:11:52,620 --> 00:11:55,340
Dad, I'm confident

199
00:11:55,860 --> 00:11:57,340
this will resolve the crisis soon.

200
00:11:58,660 --> 00:11:59,860
Of course, I trust you.

201
00:12:00,580 --> 00:12:02,580
After breakfast, go get some sleep.

202
00:12:03,220 --> 00:12:04,140
You were up all night.

203
00:12:04,180 --> 00:12:04,780
That won't do.

204
00:12:05,020 --> 00:12:06,140
It breaks my heart.

205
00:12:07,020 --> 00:12:08,820
Don't worry. I'm fine.

206
00:12:12,660 --> 00:12:15,620
I heard Wang's parents came to Shanghai.

207
00:12:17,300 --> 00:12:17,860
Yes.

208
00:12:19,260 --> 00:12:21,420
His mom is sick. She's in the hospital.

209
00:12:24,020 --> 00:12:25,060
Have you gone to visit her?

210
00:12:28,420 --> 00:12:31,620
I don't think she likes me.

211
00:12:37,900 --> 00:12:38,580
Shiyu,

212
00:12:39,460 --> 00:12:41,060
don't dwell on little things.

213
00:12:41,460 --> 00:12:44,860
You're someone who'll run Shanlifang.

214
00:12:45,820 --> 00:12:46,660
I know,

215
00:12:47,460 --> 00:12:47,900
Dad.

216
00:12:49,300 --> 00:12:51,380
If anything happens at the company,
don't be afraid.

217
00:12:51,660 --> 00:12:52,740
I'll help you.

218
00:12:53,940 --> 00:12:55,780
I'll try not to worry you.

219
00:13:02,260 --> 00:13:03,620
Based on Ms. Fang's suggestion,

220
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:05,900
this proposal includes the venue layout,

221
00:13:06,020 --> 00:13:06,820
the banquet agenda,

222
00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:08,140
and a recommended guest list.

223
00:13:08,380 --> 00:13:10,380
Of course,
it's only for your reference, Ms. Liao.

224
00:13:13,220 --> 00:13:15,340
Does anyone else have any comments?

225
00:13:16,220 --> 00:13:18,860
Why does the logic behind this proposal
feel so familiar?

226
00:13:23,940 --> 00:13:24,820
Why did you say?

227
00:13:27,220 --> 00:13:27,820
Nothing.

228
00:13:27,980 --> 00:13:29,980
I was saying it's an excellent plan.

229
00:13:30,111 --> 00:13:30,660
It's thorough.

230
00:13:30,755 --> 00:13:32,650
If you don't have anything constructive
to add,

231
00:13:32,660 --> 00:13:33,700
don't interrupt.

232
00:13:36,377 --> 00:13:38,020
Ms. Fang, you planned
everything perfectly.

233
00:13:38,111 --> 00:13:40,088
Mr. Li, you certainly live up
to your reputation.

234
00:13:40,177 --> 00:13:42,177
Our joint sponsor team
has done a great job.

235
00:13:42,220 --> 00:13:44,540
Please send this proposal
to every department.

236
00:13:44,660 --> 00:13:45,780
We'll move forward with it.

237
00:14:01,420 --> 00:14:02,220
Ms. Fang,

238
00:14:02,380 --> 00:14:03,900
what do you think of the PR plan?

239
00:14:05,660 --> 00:14:06,620
You may all leave.

240
00:14:09,340 --> 00:14:10,940
Zhizhong is impressive.

241
00:14:11,940 --> 00:14:13,177
Even with such a busy schedule,

242
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,020
you still found the time

243
00:14:15,420 --> 00:14:18,288
to put together a plan like this
for Shanlifang.

244
00:14:20,940 --> 00:14:21,420
Well done.

245
00:14:21,820 --> 00:14:22,740
That said,

246
00:14:22,860 --> 00:14:23,820
this proposal

247
00:14:23,977 --> 00:14:26,288
might actually turn this crisis
into an opportunity.

248
00:14:27,060 --> 00:14:28,700
My team didn't make this.

249
00:14:29,860 --> 00:14:31,260
I'm sure you recognized who did,

250
00:14:31,380 --> 00:14:33,044
Ms. Fang.

251
00:14:35,060 --> 00:14:35,700
Qian Fei?

252
00:14:40,620 --> 00:14:42,600
She came up with the charity gala, too?

253
00:14:42,610 --> 00:14:43,780
Or did you tell her about it?

254
00:14:43,820 --> 00:14:44,540
No. Not at all.

255
00:14:45,340 --> 00:14:47,980
She just happened to
have the same idea as you.

256
00:14:49,860 --> 00:14:50,420
Really?

257
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:53,060
I have to admit,

258
00:14:53,060 --> 00:14:54,420
this proposal is remarkable.

259
00:14:54,580 --> 00:14:56,220
From the design to the execution,

260
00:14:56,380 --> 00:14:58,660
even the staffing list is detailed.

261
00:14:58,933 --> 00:15:01,740
Did she really put a plan
this thorough together all by herself

262
00:15:01,860 --> 00:15:02,780
in such a short time?

263
00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:06,740
That's why I said
you have a good assessment of people.

264
00:15:07,020 --> 00:15:08,900
People's potential is limitless.

265
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,340
And the fact that she asked me
to submit it on her behalf,

266
00:15:12,020 --> 00:15:13,420
I suppose you know why.

267
00:15:14,020 --> 00:15:14,700
Liao Shiyu.

268
00:15:16,580 --> 00:15:16,980
Exactly.

269
00:15:17,460 --> 00:15:19,500
Thank you, Mr. Li Jr..

270
00:15:20,340 --> 00:15:21,500
I'm just doing my job.

271
00:15:22,820 --> 00:15:24,060
Actually,

272
00:15:24,460 --> 00:15:26,500
what I admire
isn't just Qian Fei's ability.

273
00:15:28,820 --> 00:15:30,580
Even if she hadn't been suspended,

274
00:15:31,260 --> 00:15:33,180
this wasn't part of her job.

275
00:15:37,100 --> 00:15:38,780
She was treated so unfairly,

276
00:15:39,066 --> 00:15:40,850
yet she still gave her all
to help Shanlifang

277
00:15:40,860 --> 00:15:42,460
without asking for anything in return.

278
00:15:43,620 --> 00:15:44,740
I really admire that.

279
00:15:47,260 --> 00:15:48,140
No one made her do it.

280
00:15:48,288 --> 00:15:49,820
She did it because she wanted to.

281
00:15:54,266 --> 00:15:55,300
Let's head downstairs.

282
00:15:55,540 --> 00:15:56,060
Okay.

283
00:16:07,220 --> 00:16:08,020
I'm back.

284
00:16:10,540 --> 00:16:11,180
I'm starving.

285
00:16:18,260 --> 00:16:20,060
What are you up to now?

286
00:16:21,980 --> 00:16:22,900
Want to become a nun?

287
00:16:25,140 --> 00:16:26,155
Alright.

288
00:16:27,060 --> 00:16:28,420
Get up and cook.

289
00:16:28,420 --> 00:16:29,060
I'm starving.

290
00:16:29,980 --> 00:16:30,940
I'm mediating.

291
00:16:31,540 --> 00:16:32,260
Meditating?

292
00:16:33,422 --> 00:16:34,933
Meditation can't help you think

293
00:16:35,260 --> 00:16:37,420
if you're on an empty stomach.

294
00:16:37,620 --> 00:16:38,180
Right?

295
00:16:38,380 --> 00:16:39,300
Come on. Go cook.

296
00:16:40,460 --> 00:16:42,380
If you want anything,
go wash the vegetables.

297
00:16:42,540 --> 00:16:44,000
Leave them there when you're done.

298
00:16:44,260 --> 00:16:45,420
I'm only cooking today.

299
00:16:45,940 --> 00:16:47,100
I'm not doing the prep work.

300
00:16:48,220 --> 00:16:50,180
I... I don't know how.

301
00:16:50,220 --> 00:16:51,220
Then don't eat.

302
00:16:57,660 --> 00:16:58,100
Fine.

303
00:16:59,340 --> 00:16:59,940
Wait here.

304
00:17:05,140 --> 00:17:06,180
I'll do it.

305
00:17:25,820 --> 00:17:27,733
Hey, you're flooding the place.

306
00:17:27,755 --> 00:17:29,500
How long have you been washing them?

307
00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:31,100
You've only washed a few leaves,

308
00:17:31,220 --> 00:17:32,444
and you're wasting water.

309
00:17:35,180 --> 00:17:35,940
Something's off.

310
00:17:35,940 --> 00:17:36,780
What's with you today?

311
00:17:37,180 --> 00:17:38,900
Something's wrong.

312
00:17:40,860 --> 00:17:42,140
You've been picking at everything.

313
00:17:42,260 --> 00:17:43,380
You're never like this.

314
00:17:44,511 --> 00:17:45,660
What's your problem? Fire away.

315
00:17:45,700 --> 00:17:47,155
If you've got an issue with me, say it.

316
00:17:47,180 --> 00:17:47,540
Shoot it.

317
00:17:48,580 --> 00:17:49,740
I talked to Zhao De.

318
00:17:50,220 --> 00:17:51,860
Why was the PR proposal
you gave Shanlifang

319
00:17:51,940 --> 00:17:53,733
different from the one
we worked on together?

320
00:17:54,780 --> 00:17:55,540
Different?

321
00:17:56,244 --> 00:17:58,140
Do I need to compare them
in front of you?

322
00:17:58,580 --> 00:17:59,620
Now I remember.

323
00:18:00,020 --> 00:18:00,540
Yeah.

324
00:18:00,660 --> 00:18:02,220
I made a few changes

325
00:18:02,340 --> 00:18:03,620
and polished a little.

326
00:18:03,740 --> 00:18:04,660
Polished?

327
00:18:04,820 --> 00:18:07,100
You deleted the most important part.

328
00:18:07,340 --> 00:18:09,380
Don't you know the whole
point of that charity gala

329
00:18:09,420 --> 00:18:11,420
was to apologize to the public,

330
00:18:11,460 --> 00:18:13,260
not to protect Shanlifang's image?

331
00:18:13,260 --> 00:18:14,420
You knew that, didn't you?

332
00:18:14,580 --> 00:18:16,900
Yeah, I deleted it.

333
00:18:17,100 --> 00:18:17,860
So what?

334
00:18:18,860 --> 00:18:19,900
Let me tell you this.

335
00:18:20,020 --> 00:18:21,020
If I hadn't,

336
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:22,380
Liao Shiyu would've never agreed

337
00:18:22,420 --> 00:18:23,700
to hold the gala.

338
00:18:24,577 --> 00:18:26,760
Then what would've been the point
of all that planning?

339
00:18:27,940 --> 00:18:29,900
Why should the client

340
00:18:30,140 --> 00:18:32,060
follow your proposal?

341
00:18:32,660 --> 00:18:33,820
Can you guarantee

342
00:18:33,830 --> 00:18:36,111
Liao Shiyu would've done everything
according to your plan?

343
00:18:36,244 --> 00:18:37,420
You can't, right?

344
00:18:38,700 --> 00:18:40,260
Our job in investment banking

345
00:18:41,100 --> 00:18:43,540
is to help companies go public.

346
00:18:43,580 --> 00:18:44,580
That's it.

347
00:18:45,260 --> 00:18:47,180
As long as you've done your best,
that's enough.

348
00:18:48,260 --> 00:18:49,460
I told you last night

349
00:18:50,340 --> 00:18:52,060
I'll help you get your job back.

350
00:18:52,060 --> 00:18:52,940
I keep my word.

351
00:18:53,511 --> 00:18:55,000
If getting my job back was all I wanted,

352
00:18:55,111 --> 00:18:56,140
I wouldn't have walked out

353
00:18:56,220 --> 00:18:57,700
of that meeting

354
00:18:57,780 --> 00:18:59,140
without saying a word.

355
00:18:59,340 --> 00:19:00,580
I really thought better of you.

356
00:19:00,620 --> 00:19:02,311
I never should've discussed it with you.

357
00:19:04,660 --> 00:19:05,900
So helping you was my mistake?

358
00:19:06,622 --> 00:19:08,460
You judged everything
by your own standards

359
00:19:08,580 --> 00:19:09,860
and thought you were helping me.

360
00:19:09,860 --> 00:19:11,540
But what you think is good for me

361
00:19:11,740 --> 00:19:12,733
isn't helping me at all.

362
00:19:12,820 --> 00:19:14,300
You're way too controlling.

363
00:19:14,620 --> 00:19:15,500
What?

364
00:19:17,500 --> 00:19:19,180
I'm controlling?

365
00:19:30,047 --> 00:19:31,940
Li Yifei, you're hopeless.

366
00:19:52,820 --> 00:19:54,540
Where are you going?

367
00:20:03,380 --> 00:20:04,180
Where are you going?

368
00:20:06,540 --> 00:20:08,180
I already washed the vegetables.

369
00:20:11,740 --> 00:20:12,420
Great.

370
00:20:13,900 --> 00:20:14,620
Amazing.

371
00:20:15,155 --> 00:20:16,140
Now there's no dinner.

372
00:20:18,111 --> 00:20:19,577
What was the point of washing them?

373
00:20:20,140 --> 00:20:20,660
What a waste.

374
00:20:23,060 --> 00:20:23,460
Great.

375
00:20:31,900 --> 00:20:32,900
This is pretty good.

376
00:20:36,088 --> 00:20:37,180
Something's not right.

377
00:20:37,620 --> 00:20:38,860
You've been suspended,

378
00:20:38,900 --> 00:20:40,260
and you don't seem worried at all.

379
00:20:41,220 --> 00:20:41,940
Something's off.

380
00:20:42,260 --> 00:20:43,740
How could I not be?

381
00:20:44,620 --> 00:20:46,220
Work is important,

382
00:20:46,244 --> 00:20:48,577
but going home for the Chinese New Year
is important, too.

383
00:20:53,300 --> 00:20:55,900
How are all the tickets already gone?

384
00:20:56,780 --> 00:20:57,700
Chinese New Year

385
00:20:57,780 --> 00:20:59,460
is just around the corner.

386
00:20:59,980 --> 00:21:01,860
The world's biggest

387
00:21:01,980 --> 00:21:03,260
mammal migration.

388
00:21:04,180 --> 00:21:05,780
You're always well prepared.

389
00:21:06,020 --> 00:21:07,660
How did you
not book your ticket earlier?

390
00:21:09,780 --> 00:21:12,180
I was swamped with work lately.

391
00:21:12,180 --> 00:21:13,533
It completely slipped my mind.

392
00:21:17,420 --> 00:21:18,620
Now I can only try my luck.

393
00:21:18,620 --> 00:21:19,860
Look. From here to here.

394
00:21:20,020 --> 00:21:20,900
Let me check.

395
00:21:25,330 --> 00:21:27,650
The success rate for grabbing a ticket
over the past few days

396
00:21:27,688 --> 00:21:28,822
is only about 20 percent.

397
00:21:29,140 --> 00:21:30,140
What about earlier?

398
00:21:30,820 --> 00:21:31,820
Earlier... Let me see.

399
00:21:33,900 --> 00:21:35,288
There are tickets for this day.

400
00:21:37,020 --> 00:21:38,700
(Shanghai - Xi'an)

401
00:21:41,180 --> 00:21:42,340
If I go back too early,

402
00:21:42,460 --> 00:21:44,244
my dad
will definitely start overthinking.

403
00:21:44,250 --> 00:21:45,900
If he finds out
I'm having trouble at work,

404
00:21:45,900 --> 00:21:46,500
he'll worry.

405
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:47,133
Can't do that.

406
00:21:47,140 --> 00:21:47,620
True.

407
00:21:48,340 --> 00:21:49,420
Someone as dedicated as you

408
00:21:49,580 --> 00:21:51,500
would never take
that many days off early.

409
00:21:55,700 --> 00:21:56,780
Have you booked your ticket?

410
00:21:58,288 --> 00:22:00,711
Don't even mention it.
It's giving me a headache.

411
00:22:01,420 --> 00:22:02,660
My family insists

412
00:22:02,660 --> 00:22:03,620
I bring a boyfriend home.

413
00:22:03,822 --> 00:22:05,220
I have no idea what they're thinking.

414
00:22:08,022 --> 00:22:10,180
Since when have you become
such a well-behaved child

415
00:22:10,220 --> 00:22:11,020
like Jun?

416
00:22:13,140 --> 00:22:14,860
It doesn't really matter.

417
00:22:15,540 --> 00:22:17,780
I only go home once a year.

418
00:22:18,460 --> 00:22:19,980
I just don't want to upset them

419
00:22:19,980 --> 00:22:21,020
over something like this.

420
00:22:24,860 --> 00:22:25,980
What about Jun?

421
00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:27,980
He seems really into you.

422
00:22:29,300 --> 00:22:30,140
So what?

423
00:22:30,420 --> 00:22:31,740
His mom dotes on him.

424
00:22:31,750 --> 00:22:34,177
She won't let him
spend Chinese New Year somewhere else.

425
00:22:35,420 --> 00:22:36,180
What about you?

426
00:22:37,900 --> 00:22:39,060
Need my help?

427
00:22:39,580 --> 00:22:40,700
You'd better grab your ticket.

428
00:22:43,140 --> 00:22:44,660
I'll ask around in a few chat groups.

429
00:22:51,540 --> 00:22:53,755
This stir-fried eggplant doesn't taste
as good anymore.

430
00:22:54,660 --> 00:22:55,500
Not as good

431
00:22:55,500 --> 00:22:56,420
as our landlady's.

432
00:22:57,980 --> 00:22:58,660
Really?

433
00:22:59,380 --> 00:23:01,180
Then why did you make her mad
that she left?

434
00:23:01,460 --> 00:23:02,740
Serves you right.

435
00:23:05,100 --> 00:23:06,140
Making fun of me, huh?

436
00:23:06,244 --> 00:23:07,288
You did it on purpose.

437
00:23:08,740 --> 00:23:09,340
Fine.

438
00:23:10,700 --> 00:23:11,260
Just wait.

439
00:23:11,860 --> 00:23:12,660
Where's my phone?

440
00:23:13,777 --> 00:23:15,688
I'm changing the password
to my game account.

441
00:23:17,300 --> 00:23:18,020
I'm sorry.

442
00:23:19,100 --> 00:23:19,860
I was wrong.

443
00:23:20,540 --> 00:23:21,100
You were wrong?

444
00:23:22,220 --> 00:23:23,340
Look at you.

445
00:23:23,980 --> 00:23:25,340
Your own problems aren't solved,

446
00:23:25,460 --> 00:23:26,500
and you're making fun of me.

447
00:23:27,660 --> 00:23:29,060
I've really got to say this.

448
00:23:30,260 --> 00:23:32,260
If I can't win over the girl I like,

449
00:23:32,420 --> 00:23:33,700
at least I'll keep trying.

450
00:23:33,955 --> 00:23:35,820
I borrowed your game account
to play with her.

451
00:23:35,940 --> 00:23:37,700
That's my way
of quietly supporting her.

452
00:23:38,540 --> 00:23:39,460
Now look at you.

453
00:23:39,740 --> 00:23:41,260
You're with Qian Fei every single day,

454
00:23:41,460 --> 00:23:42,420
but you won't confess.

455
00:23:42,420 --> 00:23:44,140
Instead, you keep upsetting her

456
00:23:44,180 --> 00:23:45,333
and disrespecting her.

457
00:23:46,180 --> 00:23:47,500
How am I disrespecting her?

458
00:23:47,740 --> 00:23:49,380
I respect her too much.

459
00:23:50,355 --> 00:23:52,666
Qian Fei has more important things
to deal with right now.

460
00:23:53,140 --> 00:23:54,260
Her job's unstable,

461
00:23:54,311 --> 00:23:56,250
and she's under a lot of pressure
from her family.

462
00:23:56,288 --> 00:23:57,777
I can't take advantage of that.

463
00:23:58,300 --> 00:23:59,980
When everything's going well for her,

464
00:23:59,980 --> 00:24:00,740
when she's happy

465
00:24:00,820 --> 00:24:02,222
and ready for a relationship,

466
00:24:02,700 --> 00:24:04,220
I'll make my move and nail it.

467
00:24:04,940 --> 00:24:05,780
You know,

468
00:24:05,860 --> 00:24:07,820
that's confidence.

469
00:24:08,420 --> 00:24:09,140
Got it?

470
00:24:09,660 --> 00:24:10,580
Take my advice.

471
00:24:10,755 --> 00:24:11,820
You should learn from me.

472
00:24:11,820 --> 00:24:13,100
Talk to Qian Fei.

473
00:24:13,180 --> 00:24:14,620
Open up to each other.

474
00:24:15,220 --> 00:24:17,100
You only had the conversation

475
00:24:17,220 --> 00:24:18,540
because of your mom.

476
00:24:18,820 --> 00:24:20,540
How is that the same as me?

477
00:24:21,140 --> 00:24:22,060
It's not.

478
00:24:24,020 --> 00:24:24,580
Fine.

479
00:24:24,644 --> 00:24:27,022
We'll see how long
you can keep being this stubborn.

480
00:24:34,540 --> 00:24:35,260
Doesn't taste good.

481
00:24:52,820 --> 00:24:55,140
Do you have no hands and legs?

482
00:24:55,620 --> 00:24:56,780
Can't you take the trash out?

483
00:24:56,900 --> 00:24:58,260
You think I'm your maid?

484
00:24:59,900 --> 00:25:01,180
No. I...

485
00:25:01,420 --> 00:25:03,860
I was going to take it out,
but I fell asleep.

486
00:25:09,740 --> 00:25:11,940
Have you eaten?

487
00:25:14,380 --> 00:25:15,540
If not,

488
00:25:15,700 --> 00:25:17,540
go make yourself something.

489
00:25:19,100 --> 00:25:19,820
Don't stay hungry.

490
00:25:22,580 --> 00:25:24,100
Where have you been?

491
00:25:24,260 --> 00:25:25,700
You didn't reply to messages.

492
00:25:28,980 --> 00:25:29,700
What's wrong?

493
00:25:29,700 --> 00:25:31,580
You're ignoring me.

494
00:26:04,660 --> 00:26:06,500
Drinking coffee this late?

495
00:26:08,420 --> 00:26:10,140
Aren't you worried you won't sleep?

496
00:26:12,940 --> 00:26:13,620
Forget it.

497
00:26:14,060 --> 00:26:14,780
Well,

498
00:26:15,220 --> 00:26:16,660
I'll do you a favor

499
00:26:17,860 --> 00:26:18,740
and drink one for you.

500
00:26:28,460 --> 00:26:29,980
I carry this with me now.

501
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,740
You really have
lived up to your surname.

502
00:26:36,700 --> 00:26:38,380
You can't smile unless there's money.

503
00:26:40,266 --> 00:26:41,622
You're not mad anymore, are you?

504
00:26:42,020 --> 00:26:43,180
I'm suspended now.

505
00:26:43,300 --> 00:26:45,020
So you're my only source of income.

506
00:26:46,180 --> 00:26:47,740
If I stay mad,

507
00:26:47,860 --> 00:26:49,530
how am I supposed
to make money from you?

508
00:26:49,540 --> 00:26:51,980
That's more like it.
A generous landlady.

509
00:26:52,380 --> 00:26:53,060
I like that.

510
00:26:53,620 --> 00:26:56,460
So we're good now?

511
00:27:02,820 --> 00:27:03,620
Fei,

512
00:27:03,955 --> 00:27:05,900
when you're coming home
for Chinese New Year,

513
00:27:05,900 --> 00:27:07,500
bring your boyfriend home as well.

514
00:27:07,700 --> 00:27:08,580
I'd like to meet him.

515
00:27:10,900 --> 00:27:12,500
That'd be awkward.

516
00:27:12,660 --> 00:27:13,980
He has to be with his dad.

517
00:27:14,460 --> 00:27:15,780
Didn't you say

518
00:27:16,220 --> 00:27:18,060
he wasn't getting along with his dad?

519
00:27:18,380 --> 00:27:20,180
Just bring him to our house.

520
00:27:20,460 --> 00:27:21,733
I've got plenty of fatherly love.

521
00:27:21,780 --> 00:27:23,010
You've got more than enough.

522
00:27:23,020 --> 00:27:24,222
Let's share some with him.

523
00:27:25,540 --> 00:27:26,020
Dad,

524
00:27:26,020 --> 00:27:28,340
you're becoming quite the smooth talker.

525
00:27:29,020 --> 00:27:30,620
They've made up.

526
00:27:30,620 --> 00:27:32,511
He has to go home
for the Chinese New Year.

527
00:27:32,860 --> 00:27:34,500
So he can't come this year.

528
00:27:34,700 --> 00:27:37,440
How about this? I'll find a way to
bring him home to meet you next year.

529
00:27:37,460 --> 00:27:38,377
How does that sound?

530
00:27:38,660 --> 00:27:39,140
Alright.

531
00:27:40,380 --> 00:27:42,060
If he can't come,

532
00:27:42,420 --> 00:27:44,100
let me talk to him.

533
00:27:45,820 --> 00:27:47,220
What?

534
00:27:48,460 --> 00:27:49,460
Uh...

535
00:27:49,460 --> 00:27:51,100
He's not with me right now.

536
00:27:51,100 --> 00:27:51,900
He went out.

537
00:27:52,060 --> 00:27:52,900
I'm here.

538
00:27:54,900 --> 00:27:57,340
Hello, Mr. Su?

539
00:27:57,900 --> 00:27:59,780
It's me, Mr. Su.

540
00:28:00,020 --> 00:28:01,100
You're Li, right?

541
00:28:01,260 --> 00:28:02,460
That's right. It's me.

542
00:28:02,540 --> 00:28:03,540
I'm sitting next to Fei.

543
00:28:04,380 --> 00:28:05,700
She told me all about you.

544
00:28:06,020 --> 00:28:07,180
Your surname is Su.

545
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:09,688
Everything's going well.

546
00:28:11,700 --> 00:28:12,980
It's just bad timing.

547
00:28:13,180 --> 00:28:16,740
I really do have to go home and spend
Chinese New Year with my dad this year.

548
00:28:18,980 --> 00:28:20,620
I promise you,

549
00:28:21,340 --> 00:28:24,700
I'll visit you
during the Chinese New Year next year.

550
00:28:27,780 --> 00:28:29,420
Don't worry.

551
00:28:30,060 --> 00:28:33,180
I'll take good care of Fei.

552
00:28:35,100 --> 00:28:35,820
Oh, right.

553
00:28:36,780 --> 00:28:38,300
You have to promise me something, too.

554
00:28:41,300 --> 00:28:43,500
Please take good care of yourself.

555
00:28:46,020 --> 00:28:46,500
And

556
00:28:49,060 --> 00:28:50,380
please say hi to Ms. He for me.

557
00:28:51,420 --> 00:28:52,020
Alright.

558
00:28:52,740 --> 00:28:53,820
Okay. Of course.

559
00:28:55,340 --> 00:28:57,460
Should I put Fei back on?

560
00:28:58,100 --> 00:28:58,820
No need?

561
00:28:59,060 --> 00:29:01,260
Alright then. Okay.

562
00:29:01,580 --> 00:29:02,620
You, too.

563
00:29:09,140 --> 00:29:09,740
You froze?

564
00:29:13,420 --> 00:29:14,260
You have no idea

565
00:29:14,460 --> 00:29:16,260
how scared I was.

566
00:29:16,940 --> 00:29:18,180
I thought you'd get carried away

567
00:29:18,180 --> 00:29:19,940
and start making things up to my dad.

568
00:29:20,022 --> 00:29:21,340
Thank goodness we got through that.

569
00:29:21,340 --> 00:29:22,580
You scared me to death.

570
00:29:22,620 --> 00:29:23,900
There's a lesson here.

571
00:29:23,940 --> 00:29:26,140
If you're going to lie,
prepare your script first.

572
00:29:27,340 --> 00:29:29,540
I only lied to my dad
about having a boyfriend

573
00:29:29,540 --> 00:29:31,620
so he'd stop nagging me.

574
00:29:32,500 --> 00:29:34,088
Now I'm trying to keep the lie going,

575
00:29:34,180 --> 00:29:36,180
and it's turning into a whole TV series.

576
00:29:36,380 --> 00:29:37,060
It's okay.

577
00:29:37,620 --> 00:29:39,822
I can keep playing your fake boyfriend.

578
00:29:41,020 --> 00:29:42,020
And don't worry.

579
00:29:42,820 --> 00:29:43,980
After hearing

580
00:29:44,060 --> 00:29:46,580
my calm and reliable voice,

581
00:29:46,780 --> 00:29:49,900
your dad completely trusts me now.
He likes me.

582
00:29:50,660 --> 00:29:51,300
Fine.

583
00:29:51,580 --> 00:29:53,020
You did a good job.

584
00:29:53,180 --> 00:29:54,460
You did well as an extra.

585
00:29:56,540 --> 00:29:58,740
I've finished half of the mission
of the Chinese New Year.

586
00:29:59,780 --> 00:30:02,220
I'm just wondering
what you're going to do next year.

587
00:30:02,460 --> 00:30:05,088
What do you mean? You think
I can't find a boyfriend within a year?

588
00:30:05,111 --> 00:30:06,500
I figure you'll end up

589
00:30:06,620 --> 00:30:07,911
renting me again next year.

590
00:30:08,940 --> 00:30:11,933
You might already be
some girl's live-in husband by then.

591
00:30:12,140 --> 00:30:12,940
Why?

592
00:30:13,266 --> 00:30:14,977
Why would I be a live-in husband?

593
00:30:15,140 --> 00:30:16,300
You're broke.

594
00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:17,500
What girl would marry you

595
00:30:17,540 --> 00:30:18,955
unless you married into her family?

596
00:30:20,380 --> 00:30:21,980
Didn't you take me in?

597
00:30:24,540 --> 00:30:25,700
Don't stand at the door.

598
00:30:25,740 --> 00:30:26,900
I'm going to take a shower.

599

(Work Experience:
July 2018 - June 2020, Senior Executive)

00:30:37,860 --> 00:30:38,540
(2016 - 2018 Senior Programmer)
Lu Ze.

601
00:30:39,300 --> 00:30:40,420
(M.S. in Computer Science)
Your education

602
00:30:40,420 --> 00:30:42,940
and work experience are impressive.

603
00:30:43,900 --> 00:30:44,900
But...

604
00:30:45,620 --> 00:30:47,140
your last startup failed.

605
00:30:48,140 --> 00:30:48,660
Yes.

606
00:30:52,500 --> 00:30:54,220
Alright. Please introduce yourself.

607
00:30:54,780 --> 00:30:56,180
As my resume says,

608
00:30:56,740 --> 00:30:58,180
I have six years of Randamp;D experience.

609
00:30:58,500 --> 00:31:00,460
I founded a software company
with a team of forty.

610
00:31:00,700 --> 00:31:01,700
And before we could finish

611
00:31:01,700 --> 00:31:03,940
developing the product,

612
00:31:04,340 --> 00:31:05,660
our investors pulled out.

613
00:31:06,380 --> 00:31:07,660
After much thought,

614
00:31:07,980 --> 00:31:09,422
I decided to shut down the company

615
00:31:09,700 --> 00:31:10,980
to minimize losses.

616
00:31:12,540 --> 00:31:13,400
My personal values are

617
00:31:13,444 --> 00:31:15,230
to be as humble as water,
lead with integrity,

618
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,560
embrace responsibility and innovation,
and benefit society.

619
00:31:17,577 --> 00:31:19,500
If your company is willing
to give me a chance...

620
00:31:20,620 --> 00:31:22,260
What's your salary expectation?

621
00:31:24,820 --> 00:31:26,180
I'm looking for

622
00:31:27,460 --> 00:31:28,140
over 20,000.

623
00:31:32,980 --> 00:31:35,340
Mr. Lu, to be honest,

624
00:31:35,780 --> 00:31:37,340
we usually

625
00:31:37,740 --> 00:31:39,220
don't hire

626
00:31:39,244 --> 00:31:40,822
people who've
started their own business,

627
00:31:40,900 --> 00:31:43,580
whether they succeeded or failed.

628
00:31:43,940 --> 00:31:45,860
From our experience,

629
00:31:46,140 --> 00:31:47,380
former entrepreneurs

630
00:31:47,500 --> 00:31:49,300
often have

631
00:31:49,300 --> 00:31:50,580
the wrong mindset.

632
00:31:50,940 --> 00:31:51,780
As the saying goes,

633
00:31:51,940 --> 00:31:55,060
"once you're your own boss,
it's hard to work for someone else."

634
00:31:55,620 --> 00:31:56,460
I think we'll pass.

635
00:31:56,980 --> 00:31:58,380
I wasn't finished.

636
00:31:59,700 --> 00:32:00,740
May I continue?

637
00:32:01,060 --> 00:32:02,620
Go ahead.

638
00:32:03,540 --> 00:32:04,900
I've heard what you just said

639
00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:06,620
countless times

640
00:32:06,700 --> 00:32:08,133
in other interviews.

641
00:32:08,860 --> 00:32:09,460
You're right.

642
00:32:10,140 --> 00:32:11,340
From an employer's perspective,

643
00:32:11,380 --> 00:32:13,700
people like us who've failed
at startups aren't appealing.

644
00:32:13,940 --> 00:32:15,140
Before I started my business,

645
00:32:15,260 --> 00:32:16,620
I was a pretty capable

646
00:32:16,620 --> 00:32:17,780
software engineer.

647
00:32:17,980 --> 00:32:18,940
But after I became,

648
00:32:19,020 --> 00:32:21,066
I had to handle everything,
from running the company

649
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,550
to looking after my employees' morale.

650
00:32:22,740 --> 00:32:25,180
Hence, I had less and less time

651
00:32:25,260 --> 00:32:26,140
to focus on

652
00:32:26,260 --> 00:32:27,340
my technical skills.

653
00:32:28,580 --> 00:32:29,700
But I'm also grateful.

654
00:32:31,380 --> 00:32:32,740
That failed startup

655
00:32:32,780 --> 00:32:34,020
taught me a great deal.

656
00:32:34,780 --> 00:32:37,177
It helped me better understand
what this role requires.

657
00:32:37,820 --> 00:32:38,420
So

658
00:32:40,220 --> 00:32:43,260
I sincerely hope
you'll give me a chance.

659
00:32:45,820 --> 00:32:47,180
A chance to prove myself.

660
00:32:53,700 --> 00:32:54,500
I'm sorry.

661
00:33:09,700 --> 00:33:10,500
Sorry, babe.

662
00:33:10,940 --> 00:33:11,380
I'm late.

663
00:33:11,700 --> 00:33:12,140
It's fine.

664
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:13,700
How did the interview go?

665
00:33:14,511 --> 00:33:16,511
The interview, well...
Take it one step at a time.

666
00:33:18,060 --> 00:33:19,300
Yours starts at 2 PM, right?

667
00:33:19,380 --> 00:33:20,266
I'll drive you there.

668
00:33:20,420 --> 00:33:21,100
Sure.

669
00:33:34,060 --> 00:33:35,940
Ms. Yao Jingjing,

670
00:33:36,740 --> 00:33:38,180
have something to eat.

671
00:33:38,380 --> 00:33:39,340
I'm not done yet.

672
00:33:39,380 --> 00:33:40,140
Eat something first.

673
00:33:40,220 --> 00:33:40,940
I'm almost done.

674
00:33:40,980 --> 00:33:42,460
Let me make a few more changes.

675
00:33:42,940 --> 00:33:44,900
Don't be nervous.

676
00:33:45,020 --> 00:33:46,420
With how capable you are,

677
00:33:46,420 --> 00:33:48,000
you could wing it and still do fine.

678
00:33:48,700 --> 00:33:50,460
The problem is, I'm competing

679
00:33:50,540 --> 00:33:51,860
against major companies.

680
00:33:51,980 --> 00:33:52,900
But look at me.

681
00:33:53,740 --> 00:33:55,820
I'm really stressed.

682
00:33:56,620 --> 00:33:57,620
Didn't Qian Fei say

683
00:33:57,780 --> 00:33:59,180
the PR department

684
00:33:59,180 --> 00:34:00,380
loved your proposal?

685
00:34:00,540 --> 00:34:03,260
It's just a charity gala.

686
00:34:03,260 --> 00:34:05,088
It's a cakewalk for you.

687
00:34:06,340 --> 00:34:08,020
I have complete faith in you.

688
00:34:10,140 --> 00:34:11,700
But this is Shanlifang.

689
00:34:11,820 --> 00:34:12,980
Your former employer.

690
00:34:13,260 --> 00:34:15,060
And I rubbed
the boss's daughter the wrong way.

691
00:34:16,020 --> 00:34:18,540
Just thinking of that stresses me out.

692
00:34:18,940 --> 00:34:20,260
This is so hard.

693
00:34:21,100 --> 00:34:23,940
I don't think my chances are good.

694
00:34:25,300 --> 00:34:26,460
Forget it. I'm out.

695
00:34:26,580 --> 00:34:27,380
I'm not going.

696
00:34:32,060 --> 00:34:33,020
Ms. Yao Jingjing.

697
00:34:34,660 --> 00:34:36,780
Have you forgotten your motto?

698
00:34:38,700 --> 00:34:39,822
If you don't work for it,

699
00:34:39,911 --> 00:34:41,660
no one will give you the life you want.

700
00:34:41,980 --> 00:34:43,620
No matter how anxious you feel,

701
00:34:43,780 --> 00:34:45,688
keep a smile on your face
and face everything.

702
00:34:45,820 --> 00:34:47,140
After all,

703
00:34:47,220 --> 00:34:49,666
your career is the only thing
that'll never let you down.

704
00:34:50,940 --> 00:34:51,500
Babe.

705
00:34:54,220 --> 00:34:55,700
Shanlifang is about to go public.

706
00:34:56,140 --> 00:34:57,180
If you can help them

707
00:34:57,180 --> 00:34:58,820
get through this PR crisis,

708
00:34:58,900 --> 00:35:01,020
it'll only do your career good.

709
00:35:02,500 --> 00:35:04,620
Besides, the boss's daughter

710
00:35:04,780 --> 00:35:05,900
is way too high up

711
00:35:06,100 --> 00:35:08,620
to bother with a bidding event

712
00:35:08,820 --> 00:35:10,300
or publicity work like this.

713
00:35:10,580 --> 00:35:12,580
Just do what you do best.

714
00:35:14,220 --> 00:35:14,980
In that case,

715
00:35:15,900 --> 00:35:16,460
let's do it?

716
00:35:16,777 --> 00:35:17,460
Let's do it!

717
00:35:19,620 --> 00:35:20,420
Alright.

718
00:35:21,860 --> 00:35:25,220
Come on. Let's smash it.

719
00:35:27,580 --> 00:35:33,260
(Meeting Room)

720
00:35:38,911 --> 00:35:40,844
Yifei, why don't you say something?

721
00:35:41,220 --> 00:35:42,900
The quality inspection results

722
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:44,340
from the trial fields we've selected

723
00:35:44,380 --> 00:35:45,300
haven't been ideal.

724
00:35:45,460 --> 00:35:47,140
If things keep going at this pace,

725
00:35:47,222 --> 00:35:50,420
I'm afraid the remaining funds
won't last until the project's midpoint.

726
00:35:50,860 --> 00:35:53,540
Should we raise money
through equity financing?

727
00:35:58,688 --> 00:35:59,420
It's too early.

728
00:36:00,620 --> 00:36:01,860
If we wait any longer,

729
00:36:01,860 --> 00:36:03,380
finding a suitable land is one problem,

730
00:36:03,466 --> 00:36:05,250
but I'm worried
that our cash flow will dry up.

731
00:36:05,260 --> 00:36:07,420
Then all our hard work
will go down the drain.

732
00:36:09,580 --> 00:36:10,740
It's just a piece of land.

733
00:36:11,380 --> 00:36:13,220
Maybe we should
think differently, right?

734
00:36:13,820 --> 00:36:15,700
We might find a better solution.

735
00:36:17,460 --> 00:36:18,180
What do you mean?

736
00:36:22,260 --> 00:36:24,300
Take a look at this photo.

737
00:36:28,380 --> 00:36:29,580
All the sites we've looked at

738
00:36:30,140 --> 00:36:31,420
have been on flat plains.

739
00:36:31,980 --> 00:36:32,860
This photo

740
00:36:32,900 --> 00:36:33,700
shows a plateau.

741
00:36:33,980 --> 00:36:36,820
It gets plenty of sunlight
and has distinct climate zones.

742
00:36:37,460 --> 00:36:38,540
The soil formed

743
00:36:38,580 --> 00:36:39,940
under these unique conditions

744
00:36:40,500 --> 00:36:41,860
might actually be better suited

745
00:36:41,860 --> 00:36:43,180
for our trial project.

746
00:36:43,900 --> 00:36:44,340
Right?

747
00:36:48,260 --> 00:36:49,740
A plateau isn't a bad idea,

748
00:36:50,100 --> 00:36:51,300
but we're short on time.

749
00:36:51,500 --> 00:36:52,660
If we send people there now

750
00:36:52,700 --> 00:36:53,540
to do a field survey,

751
00:36:53,740 --> 00:36:55,100
won't it delay

752
00:36:55,180 --> 00:36:56,800
the later stages of app development?

753
00:36:57,020 --> 00:36:58,020
Then why don't we

754
00:36:58,533 --> 00:36:59,940
work on both at the same time?

755
00:37:00,140 --> 00:37:01,860
We can send people
to do the field survey

756
00:37:01,900 --> 00:37:03,940
while reaching out
to potential investors.

757
00:37:05,700 --> 00:37:06,780
There's still time.

758
00:37:07,020 --> 00:37:08,220
I'll ask my contacts there

759
00:37:08,340 --> 00:37:09,333
to send us soil samples

760
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,244
from at least four or five counties
around Ngapa

761
00:37:11,340 --> 00:37:13,580
within three days.

762
00:37:14,100 --> 00:37:15,100
Would that work?

763
00:37:24,260 --> 00:37:27,180
Ma Li, I believe
that before today's meeting,

764
00:37:28,140 --> 00:37:30,420
more than one person

765
00:37:30,420 --> 00:37:32,222
had approached you about investing.

766
00:37:34,260 --> 00:37:34,740
Yes.

767
00:37:35,860 --> 00:37:37,860
Some suggested
splitting off a new company.

768
00:37:38,340 --> 00:37:40,511
They said they'd value
the new company at 200 million.

769
00:37:40,688 --> 00:37:43,220
They were even willing to
invest 40 million in a Series A round

770
00:37:43,380 --> 00:37:45,340
based on nothing more than a pitch deck.

771
00:37:45,511 --> 00:37:46,660
And you had second thoughts?

772
00:37:47,180 --> 00:37:49,460
I've never seen anything
like this before.

773
00:37:50,180 --> 00:37:51,900
What they see is Fulaxida.

774
00:37:51,910 --> 00:37:53,088
They're betting on agriculture.

775
00:37:53,260 --> 00:37:54,260
It's a key industry

776
00:37:54,340 --> 00:37:56,100
the country urgently needs to develop.

777
00:37:56,380 --> 00:37:58,140
I think with new capital,

778
00:37:58,620 --> 00:38:00,660
our company will be
in a much stronger position

779
00:38:00,780 --> 00:38:02,420
to expand into the market.

780
00:38:06,660 --> 00:38:07,940
Do you all think so?

781
00:38:14,060 --> 00:38:15,620
Let me make myself clear.

782
00:38:17,700 --> 00:38:18,780
I'd like to ask everyone,

783
00:38:20,260 --> 00:38:21,340
what's the core spirit

784
00:38:22,700 --> 00:38:24,380
of Fulaxida?

785
00:38:27,500 --> 00:38:28,780
It's staying grounded.

786
00:38:33,900 --> 00:38:34,780
So tell me,

787
00:38:34,860 --> 00:38:36,540
before our core business

788
00:38:36,540 --> 00:38:37,900
has truly taken shape,

789
00:38:37,940 --> 00:38:39,900
do we still have enough money?

790
00:38:42,740 --> 00:38:43,980
Then what should we do?

791
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,155
Protect this company
from being controlled by capital

792
00:38:46,244 --> 00:38:48,230
while it's still in its early stages.

793
00:38:50,940 --> 00:38:53,460
I firmly oppose raising
another round of funding at this point.

794
00:38:59,020 --> 00:39:00,100
I know you're unhappy.

795
00:39:00,488 --> 00:39:01,860
I'm sorry. But I have no choice.

796
00:39:02,500 --> 00:39:03,700
I have to exercise

797
00:39:03,780 --> 00:39:04,860
my veto power.

798
00:39:04,860 --> 00:39:07,220
Then you'll miss an opportunity
for exponential growth.

799
00:39:07,260 --> 00:39:08,780
That's only what you think.

800
00:39:08,980 --> 00:39:10,660
This is how the capital game works.

801
00:39:12,220 --> 00:39:13,020
Let me tell you.

802
00:39:13,180 --> 00:39:15,900
Every venture capital firm
calculates the odds of success.

803
00:39:16,220 --> 00:39:17,260
Do you really think

804
00:39:17,260 --> 00:39:18,660
they'd spend that much money

805
00:39:18,660 --> 00:39:21,140
on an inexperienced
startup team like yours?

806
00:39:24,260 --> 00:39:26,180
Unless they believe

807
00:39:26,180 --> 00:39:27,740
Qiansheng Group is backing us,

808
00:39:28,777 --> 00:39:30,100
there's only one other possibility.

809
00:39:30,540 --> 00:39:31,140
What's that?

810
00:39:31,820 --> 00:39:33,860
They have an ulterior motive. Come on.

811
00:39:33,940 --> 00:39:34,860
I don't get it.

812
00:39:34,860 --> 00:39:36,180
Of course you don't.

813
00:39:36,460 --> 00:39:38,220
As an investor,
I know this all too well.

814
00:39:38,300 --> 00:39:40,540
Capital is like water.
It has no loyalties.

815
00:39:45,180 --> 00:39:47,020
Water can carry a boat,
but it can also sink it.

816
00:39:47,780 --> 00:39:49,020
I'm refusing funding,

817
00:39:49,820 --> 00:39:51,500
not because I'm afraid

818
00:39:51,500 --> 00:39:52,622
my shares will be diluted.

819
00:39:57,100 --> 00:39:59,140
I'm protecting
Fulaxida's original vision.

820
00:40:05,260 --> 00:40:07,420
Before we're strong enough,

821
00:40:08,500 --> 00:40:10,260
financial giants will force a company

822
00:40:10,260 --> 00:40:12,300
to become nothing more
than a money-making machine.

823
00:40:12,580 --> 00:40:13,540
They'll force us

824
00:40:13,620 --> 00:40:15,980
to abandon the vision
we promised at the pitch event.

825
00:40:18,780 --> 00:40:19,860
Is that really what you want?

826
00:40:19,980 --> 00:40:21,220
Is that what any of you want?

827
00:40:25,860 --> 00:40:26,860
I believe

828
00:40:26,860 --> 00:40:27,620
you know the answer.

829
00:40:32,500 --> 00:40:33,260
Meeting adjourned.

830
00:40:35,180 --> 00:40:36,180
Meeting adjourned.

831
00:40:41,420 --> 00:40:42,420
You're unbelievable.

832
00:40:42,533 --> 00:40:44,880
As expected of the son
of Qiansheng Manufacturing's chairman.

833
00:40:44,980 --> 00:40:46,660
Everyone else is begging for investment,

834
00:40:47,700 --> 00:40:48,740
but you're turning it away.

835
00:40:49,060 --> 00:40:50,180
Hold your horse.

836
00:40:51,100 --> 00:40:52,220
Up until today,

837
00:40:52,220 --> 00:40:53,466
have I ever used a single dime

838
00:40:53,620 --> 00:40:56,460
from Qiansheng Manufacturing?

839
00:41:02,260 --> 00:41:03,020
Now you're mad?

840
00:41:05,860 --> 00:41:07,260
Feeling wronged?

841
00:41:09,700 --> 00:41:10,940
Trust me.

842
00:41:11,380 --> 00:41:13,860
When the time is right,
I won't even have to ask.

843
00:41:14,020 --> 00:41:15,780
Qiansheng Manufacturing will come to us.

844
00:41:15,820 --> 00:41:16,580
You'll see.

845
00:41:17,540 --> 00:41:19,020
It's not that I don't believe you.

846
00:41:19,500 --> 00:41:21,740
I'm just afraid
we'll miss a good chance.

847
00:41:22,220 --> 00:41:23,940
It's rare to see you
so obsessed with money.

848
00:41:25,020 --> 00:41:27,977
Now I'm curious about which investors
have been approaching you.

849
00:41:29,260 --> 00:41:30,340
Let's just say,

850
00:41:32,688 --> 00:41:33,888
there are quite a few.

851
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:35,460
That one from Shenzhen...

852
00:41:35,460 --> 00:41:36,140
Ma Li.

853
00:41:39,060 --> 00:41:39,740
Focus on

854
00:41:39,860 --> 00:41:41,940
what you do best.

855
00:41:43,020 --> 00:41:44,500
I'll deal with

856
00:41:44,780 --> 00:41:45,740
all those capital tricks.

857
00:41:56,740 --> 00:41:58,260
Have you found the new Randamp;D team yet?

858
00:42:00,660 --> 00:42:02,820
It's tough.
Especially the core positions.

859
00:42:03,340 --> 00:42:04,580
Don't bother looking at those.

860
00:42:04,660 --> 00:42:05,488
They're no help.

861
00:42:07,580 --> 00:42:09,100
It's only been a few days.

862
00:42:09,660 --> 00:42:11,100
Where did the passionate Mr. Ma

863
00:42:11,100 --> 00:42:12,700
from the event pitch go?

864
00:42:13,860 --> 00:42:15,540
Is he gone? Has he changed?

865
00:42:18,060 --> 00:42:20,420
I'm very confident about Fulaxida.

866
00:42:20,940 --> 00:42:22,100
So am I.

867
00:42:22,500 --> 00:42:24,500
I believe that in this day and age,

868
00:42:24,980 --> 00:42:26,420
outsiders can disrupt the insiders.

869
00:42:26,844 --> 00:42:28,533
They can strike from another dimension.

870
00:42:30,866 --> 00:42:31,866
What did you just say?

871
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,088
Strike from another dimension?

872
00:42:34,740 --> 00:42:35,700
The line before that.

873
00:42:38,260 --> 00:42:40,140
Outsiders can disrupt the insiders.

874
00:42:43,660 --> 00:42:44,140
Exactly.

875
00:42:47,700 --> 00:42:49,660
It just occurred to me

876
00:42:50,660 --> 00:42:52,740
that Fulaxida needs
a different hiring strategy.

877
00:42:54,733 --> 00:42:55,733
What do you mean?

878
00:42:56,380 --> 00:42:57,100
Find allies.

879
00:42:58,170 --> 00:43:00,022
I just thought of someone.

880
00:43:01,700 --> 00:43:02,700
Investment from allies?

881
00:43:05,020 --> 00:43:06,860

(Next Episode Preview)

882
00:43:07,140 --> 00:43:07,820
What?

883
00:43:08,340 --> 00:43:09,140
Want it?

884
00:43:10,980 --> 00:43:12,100
Flight ticket!

885
00:43:12,580 --> 00:43:14,740
I'm starting to see you in a new light.

886
00:43:15,911 --> 00:43:17,500
Wait. What did you think of me before?

887
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:22,580
What are you doing here?

888
00:43:23,220 --> 00:43:23,700
Ms. Liao,

889
00:43:24,260 --> 00:43:26,660
regarding the public apology
I suggested,

890
00:43:26,780 --> 00:43:27,740
I drafted a speech.

891
00:43:28,420 --> 00:43:29,780
I hope you'll give it some thought.

892
00:43:30,050 --> 00:43:33,022
The media will all be there tonight.
I won't put you in an awkward position.

893
00:43:33,111 --> 00:43:33,977
Anyway,

894
00:43:34,300 --> 00:43:36,380
