[Episode 20]

It's the middle of the night.

Who are you talking to,

some young hottie?

Smells like jealousy.

Come on, who is it?

Look.

It's Xu Chi.

We were talking about All Buy.

You

are way too good to Xu Chi.

Better than you are to me.

How about

you make it up to me this weekend?

Come paragliding with me.

And

I can teach you kayaking too.

You've got my schedule.

I'm traveling for work this week.

Traveling again?

I've told you before,

your foreign consulting firms

are past their prime.

Consultant?

Sounds fancy.

But honestly, they're not even

as good as a project manager at my company.

How about this?

I'll find you a high-paying,

easy job at my company.

Shen Jin,

this is the fourth time

in two months

you've disrespected my job.

They say three strikes and you're out.

You've gone too far.

How did I disrespect you?

I was being honest.

My career is my own choice,

good or bad.

Keep your judgments to yourself.

And

there are lines you just don't cross,

you know?

You've crossed them way too many times.

I've put up with you long enough.

I'm busy with work,

but I've taken time off plenty of times

to go out with you.

But you?

I told you

I get seasick and I'm scared of heights.

You don't care at all!

Before, you dragged me into the water.

Now paragliding.

Did you ever think about how I feel?

What did I say?

You're just taking it out on me.

What, are you going through the change?

Yeah! I am going through the change!

Get out!

Out!

Get out right now!

Where... where am I supposed to go?

Wait, Long...

Don't ever come back!

Why are you actually mad?

That's not what I meant.

Hey,

where am I supposed to go right now?

I don't even have shoes.

Long.

What good is just giving me

a pair of shoes?

It's so late.

I don't have my phone.

Where am I gonna go?

I don't care!

Go wherever you want!

Your wife

kicked you out in the middle of the night?

Girlfriend.

Why?

I just said she was going

through the change, and she...

Wait... hold on.

Even if

you give me a bad rating for this,

I still have to say it.

You

are out of line.

It was just the heat of the moment.

Middle of the night.

Brain's all foggy.

Still,

there are things you just don't say.

If that were my wife,

she'd already be talking divorce.

Sir.

Turn around and go back.

No, you absolutely cannot go back now.

She's still furious.

Apologizing now just makes it worse.

Trust me.

Wait till tomorrow. Bring her something.

That's what shows you mean it.

By tomorrow, your girlfriend

will have cooled down.

The second she sees you showing up

with flowers

and a diamond ring,

she'll definitely snap right out of it.

Flowers and a diamond ring?

[All Buy]

We've always believed

the best crisis PR

is honesty and authenticity.

That's why we dared to

invite everyone to see

our AI strategy in action

the very next day

after the incident.

What you're seeing now

is a live feed of our warehouse

sorting operation.

It takes

a lot of courage

to lay its logistics operations bare.

As an internationally renowned

consulting firm,

Hezong worked closely with All Buy

and introduced a comprehensive

AI advisory plan

for their overseas operations.

We're also glad to learn

that All Buy has brought this plan

into its

domestic business departments too.

So you used

this AI plan

to push Mr. Liu to the brink?

He's in his forties.

He worked at All Buy

for over a decade.

And he was let go just like that.

Some top-tier

consulting firm you are.

Are you

Consultant Ye?

Our team

has never had

a consultant surnamed Ye.

The project lead

has always been me, Xu Chi.

So did you ever

go to Mr. Liu

and apologize?

First, Mr. Liu

is out of the ICU.

He's not in any danger.

And he'll recover soon.

Second,

we don't think

there's any need for an apology.

That's just cold.

Everyone, please calm down.

Before that,

I'd like to ask you all something.

When you edit videos,

have you ever used smart editing,

voice recognition, or auto captions?

Do you think those

AI tools

made you lose your jobs

or cut your income?

The same goes

for All Buy's AI.

It was never meant

to replace human jobs.

It's just a tool

to boost efficiency.

Based on our projections,

after All Buy adopts

a full AI strategy,

logistics delivery speed

will increase by 37%.

Quality inspection pass rates

will go up by 21%.

That means

East Sea swimming crabs

will reach your dinner table

two hours earlier.

Everyone, take a look.

With an AI system

like this,

won't the fruit we get

from online shopping

be more reliably good?

In the future,

All Buy branches worldwide

will roll out

this AI system.

But what does All Buy's

rapid growth

have to do

with actual people?

Mr. Liu

did lose his job.

I'd like to ask everyone

another question.

Statistics show

only 1%

of people

over fifty

know how to use

ride-hailing apps.

So what should we do?

Question whether ride-hailing

should abandon them,

or help them learn

this new skill?

Of course,

we also need to reflect seriously.

Because during

the company's upgrades,

we didn't do well enough.

We weren't careful enough.

Our idea

was to help employees upgrade

with AI.

But

communication broke down.

And Mr. Liu mistook it

as an excuse

to push him out.

That's how this tragedy happened.

But as you can see,

our workflow

just has quality inspectors

pull out the fresh goods

that fail the AI video pre-check

for a re-check.

We never forced anyone

to learn

complicated computer operations.

As a local consulting firm,

we've always believed

that only by doing our best to boost

everyone's efficiency and wealth

can we keep every ordinary person

from being left behind by the times.

Of course, not making a public apology

doesn't mean

we're not sad,

not reflecting, not taking responsibility,

or not doing everything we can to help.

So

after discussing with All Buy,

we've made the following decisions.

First,

all of Mr. Liu's hospital

and rehab costs

will be covered

by the company.

And during his medical leave,

he'll get an extra 200 yuan a day

in rehab allowance

until he returns

to his job.

Second,

we promise

not to fire

any frontline employee

over something like this

for three years.

And we hope

you'll all keep an eye on us.

Third,

All Buy and Hezong Consulting

will jointly donate ten million

to set up

the All-He Digital Adaptation Fund

for Senior Employees,

to help workers

over forty

adapt faster

to the industry's AI shift.

Because we know

that in a company,

people come first.

All Buy's

most irreplaceable asset

isn't our

expensive AI equipment.

It's every single one

of our employees.

I wonder if Richard

will be happy with how this turned out.

Once this is over,

I'll go explain it to him right away.

We'll make it clear to him.

Having you

appear before the public

as the project lead

was the whole team's decision.

For consultants,

public trust is everything.

You took

all the blame for Richard.

You're betting

your entire career to protect him.

But emotionally,

he's still going to be hurt.

So, did Mr. Liu's family

get the donation?

Yes.

You donated 150,000.

Plus what everyone else donated,

that's 209,700 in total.

All transferred.

I'll go see him in a few days.

See if there's anything else

he needs.

The next focus

is following up

on how traditional media reacts.

Okay.

Got it.

Hello.

Ye.

That's great.

Amazing, really.

When I saw the news yesterday,

I knew

you had to be dealing with all this mess,

so I didn't wanna bother you.

Who would've thought?

Overnight, everything turned around.

I took three melatonin pills last night.

My brain

still hasn't caught up.

What are you talking about? I don't get it.

I'm talking about All Buy.

That was wise.

You did the right thing sending your little girlfriend

out there.

She's articulate and pretty.

The craziest part is

she thought

of using a livestream

for crisis PR.

Right?

By the way, how come

her title

is project lead?

Weren't you the lead before?

Livestream?

Livestream.

You didn't know?

The project lead

has always been me,

Xu Chi.

Exactly.

The "All" in the All-He Digital Adaptation Fund

for Senior Employees

comes from All Buy,

and "He" stands for Hezong.

Consultant Xu Chi put together

such a complete plan in no time.

Hezong Consulting

will take this as an opportunity.

[Beauty and brains.]

[The most assertive future partner in consulting.]

[All Buy Project Work Group Chat]

[Can't send messages in a group you've left.]

Don't go online

today.

And stay off the work group chats.

Wait for me to come back.

Xinzhi, trust me.

I'll do everything I can

to help you.

If

I do something you don't like,

don't be mad at me.

Everything I do

is for our future.

You'll end up like me sooner or later.

You

are my payback.

And she

is your payback down the road.

Because she is colder than you

and way more ruthless.

One day,

she'll kick you to the curb

and take your place completely.

[Ye the Legend]

Didn't reply to my WeChat.

Won't pick up my calls either.

He took melatonin yesterday.

He's probably still asleep.

The number you have dialed is powered off.

Sorry.

[Marry Me]

So romantic!

Hi.

Can you wrap this up for me?

Sorry.

Our Ecuadorian roses

were just all ordered

by a gentleman.

Really, this gentleman right here.

We're wrapping them now.

Mr. Shen?

You're

Bu Tianna's boyfriend, Zhao Heng,

right?

Yeah, yeah.

Hello.

Mr. Shen.

Back from the trip?

Yeah.

Getting flowers for Bu Tianna?

Let me tell you,

that girl

only likes the expensive ones.

Alright then.

I'll let you have nine. Enough?

Thanks!

No problem.

So shiny.

Hey,

you're not proposing to Lin, are you?

3.334 Carats.

Means three lifetimes of love.

I actually wanted to get

a 13.14-carat one.

But I went to the store in a hurry.

They didn't have it in stock.

Hurry?

It's not even a special day.

Why did you suddenly think

of proposing to Lin?

I...

I guess I'm going

through the change a bit early.

I had a big fight

with Lin yesterday.

I wanna apologize to her.

Don't you gotta buy flowers

to apologize to a girl?

Are you hoping to

use this proposal

to apologize to her?

Yeah.

From what I know about Lin,

with her personality,

if you pull something like that

in public,

you two are

basically done.

Because you're not proposing.

You're forcing her to say yes.

Especially

using this one-sided gesture

to cover up your problems.

To me, that's just

emotional blackmail.

Plus, a total cop-out.

Xinzhi, I'm back.

Are you awake?

Du.

Do you know where Xinzhi is?

I'm worried something happened to him.

Chi,

by the time

you see this video...

I might already be gone.

Don't worry.

I'm not mad that you

removed me from the work group chat.

I get it.

You were doing everything you could to protect me.

You saw that moment

of weakness in me,

so you stood in front of me

with everything you had.

Our team

has never had a consultant surnamed Ye.

The project lead has always been me, Xu Chi.

But today,

when I saw all those reports

blowing up online,

I had these really mixed, subtle feelings.

♪Hey, that necklace♪

♪I'm still wearing it close to my heart♪

When I lost it,

you came up with a better plan.

You've become

an outstanding consultant.

Maybe

even better than me.

To be frank,

I'm happy for you,

but I also feel

a little uneasy.

♪Maybe a joke♪

♪Somehow ended up being taken seriously♪

♪One street, then another♪

♪I didn't know what to do♪

♪Suddenly, the whole world fell silent♪

♪And I was left feeling uneasy♪

♪Only the sound of rain was left to touch me♪

♪Even sorrow grew quiet♪

I asked Mr. Kai for a long leave.

♪Leaving only a role that smiles while it cries♪

Chi.

Give me some time.

♪May your blessings be worth it♪

I need to figure out

if I'm still cut out to be

a consultant.

And think about

how we should be

with each other going forward.

Maybe one day,

I'll find the answer.

Do you have to collect all of these?

The world

is made of

108 elements.

When I was a kid, I was naive.

I thought if I collected them all,

I'd have the whole world.

Later, I learned

some elements are dangerous.

I'd never be able to

collect them all in my lifetime.

Can I

share my world

with you now?

♪I'm still wearing it close to my heart♪

♪Suddenly, the whole world fell silent♪

They all abandoned me.

♪And I was left feeling uneasy♪

♪Only the sound of rain was left to touch me♪

♪Even sorrow grew quiet♪

♪Leaving only a role that smiles while it cries♪

♪May your blessings be worth it♪

♪Suddenly, the whole world fell silent♪

♪Leaving only a role that smiles while it cries♪

♪May your blessings be worth it♪

You're back.

I already told you not to come again.

Just leave.

No, let me explain...

Wait.

What happened to your neck?

It's its blood.

I made you an old hen soup.

I came to apologize.

I picked

this old hen myself

at my friend's farm.

It's over three years old.

My friend said

it laid over a thousand eggs.

Wait, what is this game you're playing?

Trying to make an example of the chicken?

That... that's not what I meant.

I... I'm not warning you.

I mean,

if anything, I should be warned.

No, that's not the point.

The point is I made

this hen soup myself for you.

I put in a lot of dates,

goji berries,

and two really big ginseng roots.

It's good for...

Stop your nonsense.

Just... just go.

Leave.

No, let me expla...

Just go!

I... I... I really came to...

No, just let me explain.

Go!

What's this?

Nothing.

What are you trying to do?

I'm not trying to do anything.

Shen Jin.

Here!

Leave.

Got it.

You won't even take the soup.

Guess I'll have to

try the last resort.

3.334 Carats.

Means three lifetimes of love.

That's how they do it in dramas.

If you don't mind, just take it.

You won't drink the soup?

And you won't take the ring?

You gotta pick one.

- Take the ring. - Take the ring.

Get up now.

Get in here.

Get in.

So embarrassing.

How can I ever show my face again?

Hey,

forget about showing your face for a second.

You still haven't made your choice.

Why are you on your knees again? Get up...

Just hear me out first!

Let me finish.

I really thought about everything

I did wrong.

I need to tell you now.

First,

I run my mouth.

I shouldn't have been

putting down your job all the time.

Second,

I shouldn't have dragged you

to activities you're not into.

But I just wanted to

help you unwind.

Third,

I shouldn't have disrespected

your job.

I shouldn't have told you to quit.

But I really was thinking

about your health.

Yeah.

None of this matters now.

It's all my fault. I...

And I shouldn't have

made you feel like

I had no plan

for our future.

The truth is,

I do have a plan.

But you just got divorced.

I'm afraid you have baggage when it comes to

family life.

I've actually thought through everything

for our future!

Never mind.

I don't even know why I'm

telling you all this now.

I actually came here today

to make you...

Just... just pick one.

I'm begging you.

Adults don't make choices.

Can't I just pick both?

No! You can only pick one...

You're picking both?

Can you make it three?

What do you mean?

Don't forget about me.

[Lushui Lake Digital Economy Annual Conference]

This is on me. I let him down.

I knew

all he wanted was to apologize to Mr. Liu.

But the second Mr. Kai said

another partner would replace him,

I wavered.

Because my biggest fear

is being replaced.

All I thought about

was solving the All Buy mess

in the safest way.

But I never

looked at it from his side.

So

whether as his assistant, his subordinate,

or

his fiancée,

I am

a total traitor.

So when he walked away disappointed,

I...

I've got nothing to say.

I don't even

feel like I have

the right to go after him.

It's not that serious.

In the video, he just said

he needed to clear his head.

He'll be back soon.

He won't come back for me.

That video...

He only gave me an out because he was worried

about me and wanted to comfort me.

Du later told me

Xinzhi's dad

used to be a quality inspector too.

After getting laid off in the 1990s,

he borrowed money to do business.

Then

he jumped off a rooftop

in front of Xinzhi.

So Xinzhi's scared of heights.

Even so,

he'd always stand up there

with me just because I loved

the view from the rooftop.

But I never once thought

about

what was behind his fear.

Okay.

Look at it this way, Xu.

You got promoted.

You've got your own team.

And the project's about to deliver.

Isn't that great?

Yeah.

It's great.

In a few years,

you'll make partner.

Look at me.

I don't even know how long I'll be

stuck as director

on this new project.

Don't stress.

Did you know?

Her dad's actually

teaching her how to

run the company now.

In two years,

she'll be running the new energy subsidiary on her own.

So your problems are all solved.

The biggest problem now is me.

I wanna get into real business.

Master Xu, you know everyone.

Help me get a referral, please.

Sure. I'll refer you right now.

Ms. Bu,

what do you think of this guy?

Ms. Bu, what do you think of me?

What do you want?

I wouldn't dare want anything.

I'm fine.

It's okay.

[Courtyard No. 92, Yong'an Road]

Leaving?

Hua, you're heading out? Take care.

Done.

Done. Just fifteen minutes.

You gotta be out by then.

Great.

I couldn't get the place for you.

But I had to make good

on that big bonus you gave me.

I heard from the city

that after reinforcing the houses affected

by the collapse,

they're letting one person per household

go in during designated times

to grab essentials,

so I signed you up for it.

Thank you so much.

I'll head in now.

Hello.

Hi.

Okay. It's pretty dangerous in there.

Quick in, quick out.

Then let's buy this place.

I don't have that kind of money.

You've got me.

Give me a chance

to do what a boyfriend should do.

Alright?

Xu.

Time to go.

The staff outside are rushing us.

Okay.

Wait, Xu.

How about you take this?

Just as a keepsake.

If this place really gets torn down next week,

there'll be nothing left.

Take a few photos.

Hurry down.

I used to think this apartment

was worth giving everything for.

But only now

do I finally get it...

I don't get anything at all.

Xinzhi?

It's really you!

Ikkyu-san?

What are you doing in Iraq?

I

even consulted you before.

You forgot?

The refinery I'm in charge of building

is 200 kilometers that way.

I'm on leave today.

So I brought some colleagues out to look around.

What about you? Here on business?

I've got nothing going on lately.

Just taking a break.

A break?

You're skipping

the Blue Hole you've always wanted to see,

and coming to this godforsaken desert?

You look exactly like you did

back when you found out

your ex-wife

was dead set

on emigrating.

Heartbroken again?

I'm really fine.

Just out here clearing my head.

Liar.

Didn't you used to brag to me

on WeChat about your girlfriend?

And now you're out here alone?

I remember she said

the Tower of Babel was the place

she wanted to go most.

So I came to see

what's so magical

about this place

that it drew her in.

Got your answer?

No.

But after some time alone,

I think maybe

my decision to leave

was a bit impulsive.

Honestly,

I still haven't figured it out.

Regret it?

No.

But I think you do.

You used to smile a lot.

But since you saw me just now,

you've barely smiled.

When I first got here,

I read a travel guide.

It told

a story.

It said in ancient times,

people wanted to build

a tower reaching for the heavens.

But they didn't get

God's permission first.

So God got angry

and cast a spell,

so everyone

spoke different languages.

That way,

they couldn't communicate.

And of course,

the tower never got built.

Xinzhi.

What I mean is,

if you and she

have problems,

why can't you just talk it out?

Aren't you speaking

the same language?

While I'm away this week,

I'm leaving the mentoring

to you.

See if

you can spot a few with real potential.

[Tina]

Hello?

You just sent a WeChat message

and took off without even calling.

You've never even been outside Asia,

and you're going straight to the Blue...?

Blue Hole.

Blue... Blue Hole.

I finally got some time off.

And I booked a local tour.

It's not that scary.

Chi, how about this?

Let me recommend another place.

The Maldives! Way less jet lag.

But I only wanna go

to the Blue Hole in Dahab.

I wanna see

how beautiful it is,

so that he can't stop thinking about it.

Okay, okay.

Your flight's delayed anyway.

Just wait for me at the café

by Exit 12 on the arrivals level.

Zhao Heng and I will be right there.

We'll talk when we meet up.

Alright?
