=Episode 23= =Farewell=

=Episode 23= =I said it to you in my heart=

Good evening, Mr. Ye.

Sit.

Don’t call me Mr. Ye.

Sounds so detached.

I found

if I say

I want to place an order,

you’ll certainly come.

Not true.

How much wine would you like to order?

None.

Pick a car from my garage.

For your brother.

You said it the other day.

No, thanks.

He doesn’t want a car anymore.

You’re right.

I’ve talked to him.

He’s considerate now

and has been working

in my cousin’s rice noodles store.

So what I said has influences on you.

What about the man we met

who claimed to be your relative?

He went back home, too.

Thank you.

Why does he pester you?

Because...

Because a few years ago,

my dad took his betrothal gifts

and promised me to him.

I came to Shanghai to escape

from the marriage.

It seems I have to thank him.

Thank him?

Were it not for the marriage,

you wouldn’t have come to Shanghai.

If you didn’t come to Shanghai,

I wouldn’t have met you.

I should say thank you to you.

If I didn’t meet you,

you wouldn’t have helped me.

Without your help,

Wang Shanji would keep pestering me.

I’m just bluffing.

He took it serious.

Are you occupied?

Let’s go to the cinema.

If you’re not going to place an order,

I should go back.

Why?

Go back?

You’ll either study

or sell wine to other customers.

You sell wine.

Have a glass with me.

But, Mr. Ye,

I do have an appointment later.

If you’re not going to place an order,

I really have to go.

Please don’t call me that.

OK.

This is a farewell toast.

I’m leaving.

Where are you going?

Will you miss me?

Do you care about me?

What are you talking about?

You said you’re leaving.

It’s normal to ask your destination.

Europe.

I’m going to Europe for three months.

So long.

Yeah.

Will you miss me in the days

when I’m away?

When you come back,

it’ll be autumn, right?

Yeah.

Quite a long time.

Then I won’t have

any orders in the next few months.

Liu Wenjing,

am I just

a client to you?

No, no, no.

You’re a

VIP client.

Oh, a VIP client?

I don’t want you to be so distant.

If I’m your VIP client,

shouldn’t you be nice to me?

I am nice to you.

I don’t mean friend to friend.

I mean

the other kind.

I know

many sales promoters

invite their clients out

for fancy dinners

and take their clients

on vacations at festivals and holidays.

But now, I’m

just a college student.

I’m poor.

I can’t afford

a banquet for you.

If that’s the demand

you ask,

I cannot meet it.

How about this?

You’re nice to me.

I will never forget you.

When I graduate

from college

and make great money,

fancy dinners on me, OK?

Silly girl.

Alright.

I’ll bring gifts for you

from Europe.

Just drink the farewell toast

with me.

I don’t want any gifts.

Do you know?

Rumors say the top streaming novel,

the Aspiring Princess,

is a plagiarism of another novel,

entitled

Falling in Love with an Emperor.

Really?

I read the Aspiring Princess each day.

It’s not real.

The author is

Hua Wuque, I think.

A Virgo.

I think she’s talented.

That’s not true.

Those novels based on Qing Dynasty

copy from each other,

all of a sort.

It makes a great clamor on the Internet.

But I’m glad there’ll be more news.

The news

is even more interesting than the story.

Your break is over.

(The Aspiring Princess is believed to be a plagiarism)

Hello.

Hua Hua,

your plagiarism is on the news.

It’s not a plagiarism! No!

They’ve posted the evidence

on Weibo.

Take a look.

Are you reading the first Weibo post?

The author of the Aspiring Princess,

Hua Wuque,

is immoral

and villainous.

The video she beat a kid three years ago

is posted online.

I didn’t beat any kids.

It’s been clarified.

They have video.

It’s not the full story.

You’re deserted now.

The viewers don’t care

if it’s the full story or not.

In their mind,

a plagiarist

must be an abuser, too.

You’re dragging Yang Chaofan down.

I’ll log in

and write comments

to explain it.

I will prove my innocence.

You’ll make it worse.

What should I do then?

We’ll figure out something.

Gotta go.

Hi.

Your soda.

Thanks.

Get me a soda, please.

Guihua.

Just a minute, let me get it for you.

Hi, Wenjing.

It’s pouring rain.

Why don’t you take an umbrella?

I...

Wenjing.

Guihua, how is he doing?

Does he make any troubles?

He’s good,

dutiful

and diligent,

much better than before.

Great.

Thanks to your discipline.

Don’t mention it.

We’re families.

It’s so sudden.

On my way, it just starts raining.

Yeah, it’s so heavy.

I need to take it.

Hello, Hua Hua.

Hello,

Liu Wenjing, where are you?

Hello?

Hello?

Hua Hua,

it’s noisy here.

What’s happened?

Rumors online say my novel is plagiarism.

The video about me beating a kid

is posted.

Zhou You said I’m a burden

to Yang Chaofan now.

What should I do? What can I do?

Come back.

How did it happen?

Alright, Hua Hua, easy.

I’m at the rice noodles store.

I’ll be back later.

Hello, Dad.

Didn’t the doctor say Mom will be fine?

Here.

Wenjing, it’s pouring rain.

Why are you standing out there?

Wenjing.

Dad wants us back.

What’s up?

The doctor says Mom’s ill deteriorates.

Last stage.

What should we do?

We need to go back.

We can’t go back.

The medical care back home is incapable.

Gen’er,

you need to take Dad and Mom here.

I’ll find a hospital here in Shanghai.

But the expense is high.

Back home...

It’s not about money.

It’s Mom’s life.

Leave the money to me.

Gen’er, come back.

Here is a debit card.

Remember.

Don’t let Mom suffer.

Do you hear me?

I’m on my way.

Mom.

What should I do?

Make an appointment with a doctor.

Yeah, and money.

Who will lend me?

I...

Professor.

Coming.

What’s wrong?

You’re wet all over.

Why don’t you use an umbrella?

I’ll get you a towel.

It’s OK.

I have to go soon.

Professor.

Can I withdraw the money I gave you

to buy stocks?

I spent

all your money on a stock.

Its price doesn’t rise much,

but it’ll soar in a period of time.

Wait if you’re not in urgent need.

Or you’ll lose 60% of your money.

What’s up? Urgent need?

I can lend you some.

No, thanks.

Sell out please.

No rush.

Let me give you an umbrella.

No, thanks.

Right.

I need a favor from you.

Hua Hua is in a huge trouble.

Please keep her company

and look after her.

Is it you, Wenjing?

Hua Hua.

Coming.

Professor.

Hua Hua.

Hua Hua.

You haven’t had breakfast, have you?

I brought some for you.

Take it.

Hurry.

Thank you, Professor.

I need to wash my hands.

Do you eat these each day?

Now have some breakfast.

No appetite.

Ignore what they said

on the Internet.

In the end,

the rumors die down.

But I didn’t plagiarize anything.

They won’t believe anything

you say now.

Do you believe me?

Take your previous novels out.

Let me see

if I can find some evidence

that proves you didn’t.

Come on.

Look.

This is the article they said I copied.

This is my article.

This is the paragraph same to mine.

They’re identical.

Hasn’t Liu Wenjing come back?

Did anything happen at her home?

What?

Never heard of it.

Come in.

Hi, Liu,

your hair is damp.

I went out in a hurry

and forgot the umbrella.

What happened?

Sir,

can I ask for a favor?

My family needs money.

Can I get an advance of my salary

for a few months?

I see.

Look, Liu,

you’re now

a college student

and a part-timer

in our company.

A large amount of your salary

is sales commission.

So I guess it’s a little difficult

to give you an advance.

If so,

forget it.

Thank you, sir.

Liu,

I have an idea.

Let’s

sign a preliminary employment contract,

stating that after graduation,

you’ll work for our company.

You’re quite capable.

Let’s sign a 5-year contract.

Each month,

you’ll get

5,000 yuan.

When we sign the contract,

I’ll give you

a personal donation.

What do you think?

When you graduate,

join our staffs.

Then you can have advance.

Thank you, sir.

I’d like to consider further

of my career after graduation.

I’ll think of another way to get money.

Good day.

Alright. Good day.

The ear studs are new.

I wore them twice,

including the try-on.

How much

will you give me for them?

Six thousand.

Six thousand?

It sells at 30,000 yuan in the store.

The thing is,

the gold content

of each stud is about four grams.

The gold price now is 350 yuan.

The gem isn’t precious.

High brand premium.

Like you said,

customers buy them

due to the brand.

Now I’m selling them,

can you give me more money

for the brand’s sake?

I’m sorry.

Two more thousand top.

Or you can try elsewhere.

Alright.

Eight thousand it is.

Hello, Gen’er.

Hello, Wenjing.

I’m on the train.

What are you doing?

I’m raising money.

You have so many friends.

Borrow from them.

Hua Hua is in trouble.

We’re on our own.

Well, what about the Professor who came to our home?

Not him.

What about the man, Ye?

What’s his first name?

I’ll work out something.

How is it going?

I want to say

I heard from Shanji

that he knows a seafood vendor

at Beihai.

Yeah, Beihai.

A seafood vendor.

He’s looking for buyers

for his crabs.

If we can sell them fast,

in three days,

in three days we can make...

We can make 200,000 yuan.

Two hundred thousand in three days?

But we have to sell them fast,

or the crabs die.

Listen,

I’ll go to the county center

when I get off train.

If there are restaurants willing to buy,

let’s take the deal.

But we need capital.

OK, Gen’er,

ask around.

If it’s true,

we’ll take the deal.

Ask Dad for the capital.

I wired 50,000 to him before.

Moreover,

Dad’s 50,000

is all the saving

we have.

Ascertain it.

OK, OK.

OK.

Wenjing, take care of yourself.

Two hundred thousand in three days.

Is it real?

Professor.

Did you develop the application?

You flattered me.

This is a plagiarism detection app.

After comparison and contrast,

100 segments are found similar.

The rate is high.

How do you explain it?

The two novels

are both based on Qing Dynasty,

on true historic events.

Undoubtedly, the fate of some figures

are the same.

However,

their life experiences

are totally different.

The findings

cannot prove anything.

One swallow does not

make a summer.

Right.

Let’s delete all similar

segments

and make another contrast.

Let’s compare two files.

Now there are 20 similar segments.

Professor, you’re so awesome.

What’s next?

Then we compare the 20 segments

one by one.

The public opinions

are in favor

of the producers of Falling in Love with an Emperor.

But now we’ve compared

the main contents,

which leaves only three similarities.

All we need to do is to explain

the three similarities.

There’s no need for me

to show you how to write the article.

By the way,

we overlooked

an essential issue.

When was the Aspiring Princess

published?

Hard copies in this year.

When did you

start to update it online?

Probably two years ago.

Yeah, that’s it.

Falling in Love with an Emperor

is aired recently, right?

Which means when they were shooting,

most of your novel

was updated online.

How could I forget it?

Now we need to search

when the TV series are licensed.

We get an upper hand on the timeline.

If it’s as we predicted,

we can turn the tides and accuse

them of plagiarism.

We’re right.

Here is the fact.

Defaming the Aspiring Princess,

on the one hand, damages

the novel’s reputation,

on the other,

keeps their TV series trending

and popular.

It’s a slander.

They plagiarize my novel.

I’ll sue them.

I’ll sue them.

Actually,

I think they

draw on some of your stories,

but not all of them.

If you take the matter to court,

it’s not for sure you’ll get compensation.

But if we make the timeline

and the evidence

public

online

in the pace

as we plan,

soon, your name will be cleared.

By then,

Yang Chaofan will come to your help.

Because he can stand in light

on the right side

and maintain his image.

Well, your innocence is proved.

Perhaps you can take advantage

of Yang Chaofan’s support

and build your reputation

in the copywriters’ circle.

Well,

by then,

you’ll no longer be Hua Hua.

Who will I be then?

Maybe,

a flaming rose.

Professor, you’re so cool.

Professor is like a magician.

He clicked a few keys

and solved my problem.

You know?

It was raining and thundering outside.

I just watched him.

It was so beautiful.

I felt peaceful.

It seems Professor does care about you.

I shouldn’t have come.

Nothing.

I mean

you’re closer and closer.

In fact, we’re together.

Are you saying...?

I’m saying

we’re together as boyfriend

and girlfriend.

From now on,

I hope

we’ll be happy together

and he’ll give all his love to me.

Of course he will.

You love him so much.

Right.

I have an appointment with Zhou You.

Come with me.

You have a boyfriend now.

It’s his role to play.

Ask Professor to go with you.

Right.

I should ask Professor.

I should call him now.

Will Liu Wenjing ask Professor about it?

If she asks him,

my lie will be spotted.

Why did I tell a lie?

But it’s joyful

to say it.

Right, Gatha?

(The subscriber you dialed isn’t available.)

(The subscriber you dialed isn’t...)

Take a break.

You’re like a humming fly.

I called her

so many times.

She doesn’t pick up.

Maybe she’s busy,

occupied.

What is she doing?

She’s quite odd lately.

Hello, Gen’er.

How is it?

Do the three restaurants want the crabs?

Shanji and I inquired the restaurants.

They all want to buy crabs.

Shanji did us a huge favor this time.

I think it’s real.

Wire your 20,000 as soon as possible.

I’ll call Dad

and ask him to wire his 50,000.

Then we’ll transfer the money

to the crab raiser together.

OK.

Seems Wang Shanji is right about this.

Look,

ask Dad to give you the 50,000.

I’ll wire 20,000 to you.

In all, it’s 70,000.

Gen’er,

you have to promise me

everything will be fine

absolutely.

Rest assured.

I’m never so sure

about anything in my life.

OK. I trust you.

I’ll make the transfer

on e-bank now.

Get it done.

OK. Bye.

I want to go to her. What do you think?

To do what?

She doesn’t even answer your call. Why?

Hey,

what’s wrong with you

and her?

Nothing.

You don’t care to answer.

Then just tell her

that you like her.

What’s the big deal?

Tell her?

Then what?

Then...

Then everyone is happy.

OK, good plan.

One stone, quite a few birds.

Hua Hua’s problem is solved

and my image

is restored.

Let’s stick to the plan.

OK.

Professor,

well,

I’d like to steal you from your employer.

I really hope

a great talent like you

can join my team.

Let’s build our empire.

Yeah.

It’s normal for many couples.

By then, Hua Hua will write novels.

You’ll manage her assets.

I’d rather not.

I don’t belong in this circle.

If there’s a chance

to cooperate in other fields,

we can try.

OK.

You’re welcome

at any time.

Thank you.

We should go.

See you later.

OK.

-Bye-bye. -Bye-bye.

Professor,

you’re amazing

by solving my problem

just like that.

Hua Hua,

didn’t Liu Wenjing

help you sell the novel to Zhou You?

Why didn’t she come?

She got a call in the morning and went out

before I even saw her.

What’s up?

Well, problem solved.

I should go.

Let me buy you lunch.

It’s OK. Thanks.

Hua Hua,

how is it going with the plagiarism?

Thanks to Professor’s help,

the rumors have died down.

He’s so nice to you.

Try our latest wine.

Here.

Not bad.

I think

Professor changed.

He’s considerate now,

so loving.

Perhaps due to his dad’s death.

Do you remember what he said on the funeral?

It’s never too late

as long as you’re aware of it.

Right.

While he’s in transition,

you need to try harder.

Let me be honest.

Professor has a thing

for Liu Wenjing.

It’s not true.

Professor cares about Liu Wenjing

as an ordinary friend.

He gives more and more

care to me now.

Anyway, Liu Wenjing

is good at playing a weak girl,

especially to Ye Hui.

Men like it when she pushes them away

in order to seek their attention.

All men

are excited

about those they can’t get.

No.

Ye Hui isn’t that type.

He’s too proud.

He’s never met a girl like Liu Wenjing.

She hung up

his calls

and turned down his invitations,

which boosts his ego to get her.

The point is

among ten texts to me,

five are about Liu Wenjing.

Irritating.

In my eyes,

Liu Wenjing isn’t that slippery.

If she says no, it’s a no.

It’s not a plot.

You don’t know.

Liu Wenjing is extremely busy now.

We must be idle

to have the time to speculate

what men are thinking.

I’m busy too.

Idleness isn’t the point.

Love is.

Who gives love first

loses the upper hand.

Do you think

Liu Wenjing

loves Ye Hui?

I don’t know

if she loves him or not.

But I do know she’s afraid to get hurt.

Aren’t you?

What’s to be afraid of?

Isn’t it a happy thing to meet

an equal rival?

Wei,

your world is protected.

That’s why you’re fearless.

But Liu Wenjing

cannot rely on anyone else

but herself.

So she wraps herself up in a cocoon.

In love,

men’s strategy is to let go

before holding tighter.

While for women,

we carefully keep our distance.

The romance war between men and women

is so tiring.

Well,

if a man and a woman

as you said meet,

what will happen?

You know what?

I blacklisted Ye Hui last week.

He called yesterday,

but didn’t realize he’s blacklisted.

Is he blind?

Irritating.

Wei,

though you’re a hardcore businesswoman,

in love and romance,

you’re such a baby.

It’s not strange.

Because you fall for

the love master, Ye Hui.

All right. Let’s drop it.

Come on.

Drink with me.

Cheers!

What did you say?

Didn’t the restaurants want to buy crabs?

Why don’t they want them now?

They all have their reasons

and just don’t need them.

Why didn’t you tell me earlier?

I’m afraid of your scolds.

Then you shouldn’t

wait till now.

I’m at the wharf.

What if the crabs all die?

Dead crabs aren’t edible.

Liu Gen’er, who would buy them?

Wenjing, I’m sorry.

You’re sorry?

That’s not the point.

The point is Mom is critically ill.

What should we do?

We made the decision together.

I don’t care.

I shouldn’t have trusted you.

Take our parents here.

Make sure they’re safe.

I’ll raise the money.

You didn’t tell us

your mom is ill

and bore the burden on your own?

Are we your friends or not?

You were frustrated by the rumors.

I couldn’t bother you with it.

Is the lawsuit more important than your mom’s life?

I thought I could...

I thought I could save my mom.

Yeah.

You’re capable of everything.

You’re a superwoman.

Liu Wenjing, let me tell you.

You have a big ego, you know?

What should we do now?

I can go to Africa.

Don’t you say

you know a friend who can

get me a job to make big money?

Is your friend Plug?

Are you out of your mind?

Why don’t you borrow from Ye Hui?

Three hundred thousand

isn’t a big deal for him.

You don’t want to owe him, do you?

He’s the only help I can get now.

OK.

I’ll go to him.

I give up.

I’ll ask him to do me a favor.

As long as my mom is fine,

I’d like to take a loan from him.

I’ll try to repay it.

Wenjing, what happened?

Nothing.

Stop drinking.

What happened?

Why are you crying?

I’m fine.

None of your business.

Come back here.

What’s none of my business?

Whatever you need,

just tell me.

I can help.

You’ve done enough for me.

I don’t need any more.

I’d like to help.

I want to help.

Whatever happens,

I care about you.

Xing Tianming, what did you say?

I said I care about you.

How can you say that?

You have a girlfriend.

How could you say you care about me?

What do you mean I have a girlfriend?

Hua Hua has told me.

What are you doing?

Making fun of her?

Listen to me, Xing Tianming.

If you break her heart,

I’ll never forgive you.

What did Hua Hua tell you?

Can you please listen to me?

Let me go!

What are you going to say?

Remember what I said, Xing Tianming.

If you break her heart,

I’ll never forgive you.

Never.

Wenjing, why don’t you pick up?

I don’t want to.

It’s your brother.

Put it away.

Hello.

OK, OK. I got it.

What’s up?

He said your parents are in Shanghai.

They’re all in the hospital.

Excuse me, Miss,

where is the special care ward, please?

Over there.

Thank you. Come on.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Are you alright, Mom?

I’m fine.

OK.

Mei?

Xiaomao?

What are you doing here?

Why didn’t you tell me

about your mom’s situation?
