Episode 36

Without me,

a black-hair, yellow-skin Chinese woman like yourself,

will never in this life

be able to publish a paper in such an authoritative journal.

Honestly, really heartwarming, touching story!

But really stupid.

Do you expect me to believe

that you are doing this all for your country?

Come on!

Let's be real. Huh?

What do you really want?

Zhou Xiaoshan.

I finally came around.

I don't want to surrender.

Because I hope that

in the future, no matter in which field,

Chinese people's achievements

can always get people's praises

instead of doubts.

And it needs the efforts

of every one of us.

So this time,

I must step forward.

I'm glad that you think that way.

Whatever happens in the future,

I will fight by your side.

What do you plan to do next?

An eye for an eye.

Mr. Qiu,

Jianing came around.

We don't need to kidnap her to the press conference.

Zhou Xiaoshan.

Hello, Jianing.

Dad.

What is it?

Are you busy now?

No. I'm reading a magazine.

Dad,

I need to ask a favor of you.

What is it?

This one.

Mr. Qiu,

this is the speech manuscript for the press conference.

The host gets on the stage first,

and then you get on the stage.

This is one piece.

Okay, good.

Okay, I see.

It's likely that people from some corporations will come.

This is the information of the corporations.

Okay.

You may want to have a look.

Okay.

It's late.

Order some takeouts.

Yes.

Okay. Wait a second.

Oh, right,

I totally forgot it.

Mr. Qiu,

happy birthday.

Yeah, dad,

it's your sixtieth birthday.

I'm too old to celebrate birthdays.

I can just let it pass.

Right?

Mr. Qiu,

your sixtieth birthday is important.

Jianing has always remembered it.

We especially picked a gift for you.

Is there a gift?

What is it?

Wait a minute.

You look mysterious.

You'll find out later.

Okay.

Mr. Qiu, here you are.

This...

This photo...

Why don't I remember taking this photo?

It's right that you don't remember.

Because this is an edited photo.

Why would you think of editing a photo?

Jianing said you like photographing

and have many cameras.

But

you don't have so much time to take photos together.

So I made this

photo for you two.

And I hope you like it.

Mr. Qiu,

although the photo is edited,

Jianing's love for you is real.

Yeah.

Happy birthday, dad.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

I like it.

It's so wonderful!

Thank you!

Thank you.

Let's eat.

Okay, let's eat.

Here you are.

Here you are.

Let me put it in my shirt.

Here you are.

Today we have takeouts.

Let's choose a day.

We will invite you to have dinner in our house.

Okay, Mr. Qiu.

I will be there.

Good.

Let's eat.

You are in a good mood.

Don't you think that my father's attitude

toward you changed?

Yeah, a little bit.

Oh right,

before the press conference,

I need to meet someone.

Who?

Is Qiu Jianing

having a press conference tomorrow?

Yes, Mr. Ruan.

She'll clarify something at the press conference.

Qiu Jianing

is truly a tough woman.

Mr. Ruan,

as for investing in PLAN O,

what's your plan?

My only target is Zhou Xiaoshan.

So,

let's see what he will do tomorrow.

Hello.

Two people named Qiu Jianing and Zhou Xiaoshan want to meet you.

Mr. Ruan,

Qiu Jianing and Zhou Xiaoshan are here.

They are downstairs.

They want to meet you.

Let's go.

You two come here in the middle of the night.

You must have very important things.

Mr. Ruan,

you are a major partner

of our company.

So I hope that tomorrow

you can attend my press conference.

And I hope that through this opportunity,

you can erase all the doubts toward our company.

I see morale in you.

I know

that you hate Zhou Xiaoshan.

But Xianglan has already died.

Together with TKS,

spreading rumors about me

is your doing, isn't it?

You want Zhou Xiaoshan to be like you,

seeing the loved ones being tortured,

and not being able to do anything.

But you forgot.

I'm not Xianglan.

And I won't compromise.

Of course, you are not Xianglan.

No one can compare with her.

No one can love her as much as I do.

Ms. Qiu,

at our wedding night,

I told Xianglan: "I know you don't love me now.

But it's okay. I can wait.

I have a whole lifetime to be with you.

I'll wait until you forget Zhou Xiaoshan,

and fall in love with me."

I remember she smiled.

It was such a beautiful smile.

That is my best memory

about Xianglan.

But the next day,

the nightmare began.

She started to sit there

doing nothing all day.

She forgot to eat. She forgot to sleep.

And she lost weight rapidly.

Until one day she passed out.

And when she woke up, she held me and cried.

She begged me

to save her,

to help her forget Zhou Xiaoshan,

and to help her pull herself together.

I used to think that the most miserable thing in the world

is that the person I love doesn't love me back.

But until

I saw Xianglan

wither in front of me

and walk toward death day by day,

I knew that the cruelest thing in the world

is that I see my love suffer because of another man

but I can't do anything.

And all that

is because of your boyfriend,

Zhou Xiaoshan.

Mr. Ruan,

I understand.

But even if I'm dead,

Xianglan won't come back to life.

Why can't we move on?

Move on?

Do you deserve it?

Mr. Ruan,

I admit that

I did get affected

by your revenge.

But I won't escape.

I won't blame Zhou Xiaoshan, either.

Tomorrow, everyone will know the truth.

The...

The truth.

Zhou Xiaoshan.

The truth.

Doesn't that sound sarcastic to you?

I have said everything I wanted to say.

Zhou Xiaoshan.

Let's go.

Wait.

I have a few words to tell you privately.

There is the biggest truth

that I didn't tell her.

So tell me,

if I tell Qiu Jianing,

will she still love you?

Don't tell her.

Beg me.

I beg you.

I didn't hear it clearly.

I beg you not to tell Qiu Jianing.

Okay, I won't tell her.

Only if you come back with me.

Why do you have to do this to me?

You tell her yourself.

Otherwise, I will tell her for you.

But if I tell her,

Qiu Jianing will be your accomplice.

Then neither of you can get out of it.

Destroy you

or destroy the two of you.

You choose.

You have one night to consider.

Think carefully.

Ms. Qiu,

I wish your press conference a great success.

Good night.

Good morning, everyone.

Thank you so much

for coming here and listening to me.

Let me introduce myself first.

I'm Qiu Jianing.

I'm currently working for the PLAN O laboratory

of Original Life.

I'm the project leader.

Recently there have been a lot of rumors about me on the internet.

Today I will clarify them

one by one.

Last week,

the well-known European biochemical scientist

Professor Harry

accused me of stealing the classified information

of his laboratory.

Yeah.

Before I came to PLAN O,

I worked in Harry's laboratory.

But the reason why I left

is that...

is that Professor Harry plagiarized her paper.

Who is that?

Miss Su.

One year ago,

the paper that Professor Harry

published on Cure

about telomerase

was actually plagiarized by him

from Qiu Jianing's work.

Who are you?

I'll answer your question later.

Miss Su.

May I?

Hi, everyone.

I'm Su Qian.

I am a former researcher of PLAN O.

And then I worked for Professor Harry's laboratory.

Now I'm the project consultant of Tiancheng Trust.

The research subject of PLAN O and Professor Harry

is indeed very similar.

But I can tell you that

Professor Harry has submitted

clinical trial application for three times,

but they were all rejected by FDA.

If Qiu Jianing really

stole the classified information of his laboratory,

why was his application rejected

while PLAN O carried out steadily

the second phase of the clinical trial?

Did Qiu Jianing's leaving

harm Professor Harry

that much?

Yeah.

That makes sense.

She's right.

Yeah.

Thank you.

In fact,

that paper was just a draft

and needed to be revised.

And the revised version

has been posted on my personal Weibo

and official WeChat account.

I hope that the professionals can compare the two papers.

And one more thing,

lately there is a video

of me talking with the director of TKS.

Everyone that has watched this video

would think that I betrayed the laboratory.

For this video,

I'd like to have someone explain it.

Who?

Who is he?

Who is he?

It's him.

President of Qiu's Group, Qiu Yaoming.

Really?

Why is he here?

Ladies and gentlemen,

and friends from media,

good morning!

Firstly let me introduce myself.

I'm Qiu Yaoming,

president of Qiu's Group.

Qiu Jianing is my daughter.

This pretty lady

is really from a decent family.

I watched her grow up.

Her pursuit of scientific research

is firm and pure.

Neither money nor fame

can shake her belief.

On this matter,

I have full faith in my daughter.

This gentleman,

do you have any questions?

Hello, Mr. Qiu.

Although you believe in your daughter,

what about the video?

How will you explain it?

This is a very good question.

When I first saw this video on the internet,

I felt there was something wrong.

So my company

found the original video

with the help of special technologies.

After our public relations department got the video,

we discovered an important message

from it.

The video

was edited.

Oh, I see.

Why did they edit it?

What did they cut off?

Aren't you curious?

Okay. Let me show you.

Mr. Gail.

Is PLAN O only worth

5 million dollars to TKS?

Yes. Of course

it's inappropriate to talk to you only about the money.

This is the Harry Laboratory Transfer Agreement.

Now,

if you come and work for us,

we can make sure that Dr. Harry

never shows his face in scientific community ever again.

I see your sincerity.

So, do we have an agreement?

But I don't think you are sincere enough.

It's 5 million dollars

and access to one of the world's best research facilities.

Not good enough for you?

I think you have the third option.

We are happy to do whatever you want.

You can destroy me.

Ms. Qiu, please.

Why on earth would we ever do anything like that to you?

You are one of the most outstanding research scientists in the world.

And we have the most

advanced laboratory in the world.

If you come and work for us,

it can only be a win-win situation.

How could anyone say no to that?

If that's the case,

why would you

come to me secretly?

If I really accept your offer

and betray PLAN O,

what would happen then?

We will make you the

brightest star in the scientific industry.

Yeah.

And then this field will forever

be an empty space for China.

And the Chinese researchers after me

will still be questioned

and despised by the Western scientific community.

If in the future someone else

makes an academic breakthrough like me,

his work will still be plagiarized,

and he will not get the recognition of the world.

I'm sorry, Mr. Gail.

I,

and everyone in our laboratory,

will never let things like that happen ever again.

We will do our best to tell the world

that Chinese

have achieved something in this field.

We have created great value

for our country

and for the whole world.

Honestly, really heartwarming, touching story!

But really stupid.

Do you expect me to believe

that you are doing this all for your country?

Come on!

Let's be real. Huh?

What do you really want?

Admit that PLAN O is developed by the Chinese.

That's my only requirement.

You can't do it, can you?

It's all right.

The press conference is coming.

You are welcome to

witness the strength of Chinese scientists.

It's such a wonderful speech!

It's so exhilarating!

After watching this video,

I believe you know

who is right and who is wrong now.

To the people who framed Qiu Jianing,

we will initiate legal proceedings.

I've never seen my dad like this. He's so handsome!

Yeah, your dad has always been handsome.

Don't you think I look like your dad?

Jiaxin.

No, I don't think so.

Are you still mad at me?

Jiaxin, don't be mad at me.

It's such a joyous day.

For the day's sake,

don't be mad at me anymore, okay?

Look!

I bought you a cake.

Here. Have some.

Let me feed you.

I don't want to eat.

It's your favorite.

I don't want to eat.

I said I don't want to eat.

Don't be mad, okay?

I'm still mad.

Give that to me.

I'll help you hold it.

You are tired, aren't you?

Let me help you.

Can I watch it with you?

Okay.

Thanks.

Thanks, dad.

I want to take this opportunity

to share some words with you.

One year ago,

when I was treated unfairly

in Harry's laboratory,

I chose to tolerate it.

Because I believed that time will prove everything.

Last week.

My sister's facial expression is very aggressive.

Look at her!

I still chose to tolerate it.

I didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

Until one day,

I found that the public opinion had changed.

They weren't only questioning me.

They were questioning the Chinese scientific community,

and the whole country.

I realized that I can't tolerate anymore.

I had to stand up,

not for the reputation of my own,

but for the reputation of the whole Chinese scientific community,

and the reputation of all the Chinese scientists

and researchers.

PLAN O can go from development to clinical trials.

It's the result of

all the scientists' efforts.

The doubts from outside

can only drive us forward.

Science, medicine, education, and economy.

China will grow stronger and better.

Please wait and see.

Great speech!

Jianing!

Go, Jianing!

I don't understand.

What?

Your father and your sister are

highly intelligent people, aren't they?

How come you are not like them?

Are you adopted?

Look at my face, and comprehend yourself.

Comprehend what?

Why are you so...

Jiaxin, you want to scold me, don't you?

Go ahead. I know I deserve it.

Scold me.

Ye.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

It's inappropriate to touch a girl.

Don't you understand, uncle?

Master, what are you looking for?

Uncle? Is there any uncle?

Do you see any uncle?

You are the uncle.

Young man.

What's wrong with your eyes?

At your age, you can't even

call me big brother.

I'm telling you.

Big brother?

You are ten years older than us.

What else can I call you except uncle?

I'm only nine years older than Jiaxin!

Not ten years!

She's one year older than me.

Okay?

Ye, shut up.

Get yourself a mirror!

Okay.

For the sake of Jiaxin,

I will say no more.

Jiaxin, let's go.

You can't go.

You can't go, Jiaxin.

Jiaxin.

Jiaxin, don't go.

It's resting time.

Get your hands off her!

Get off!

You hurt Jiaxin. Do you know that?

Jiaxin, I need you.

It's work.

Don't think I don't know it.

You are not Jiaxin's boss now.

Work?

You are taking work as an excuse.

You are good.

First you competed rock climbing.

Then you drove under the influence.

And now you rob!

Your old man's moves

are out of date.

Whether they are out of date or not,

they are good moves as long as they work.

Do you want to fight?

Come on! Let's fight.

Don't. Don't.

Let him fight me.

-Fight! -Master!

Come and fight me!

Stop it! The two of you! Okay?

Jia... Jia...

Jiaxin.

Jiaxin!

Jiaxin!

Jia...

Jiaxin.

Jiaxin, wait for me!

Jiaxin!

Jiaxin!

Jiaxin, wait for me!

Jiaxin!

How dangerous it was!

You just came to us.

What if I didn't control myself?

It's wrong to fight!

He provoked me!

How did he provoke you?

I was the one who put my hand on his shoulder.

But what did he do?

He held your hands and wouldn't let them go.

Shouldn't I be angry?

I know now.

He was declaring war on me!

I have never been afraid of anyone.

Let him fight me.

Ye,

I don't know what to say.

I'm the one to blame.

If I hadn't hesitated,

you wouldn't have fought my master.

Why are you still protecting him?

I'm not!

I don't know how to put it.

Ye.

Maybe

we should calm down.

Calm down?

Why should we calm down?

I think when we first got together,

I wasn't so calm. I was impulsive.

What do you mean?

I think

I don't like you as much as I imagined.

No.

Jiaxin.

It was my fault to fight him.

That was because I was jealous!

I apologize.

It's not because of that.

Because of what? Tell me.

I think when we first got together,

I was attracted by your halo.

So I didn't think it through.

And then I realized that we are not right for each other.

Ye.

Let's

break up.

I'm sorry.

Dad, thank you.

Jianing, you are so brilliant.

I almost cry.

Me too.

Miss Su, thank you.

You can call me Qian from now on.

Thank you, Qian.

Keep it up, Jianing.

Thanks.

See you.

Miss Su, see you.

Qian, bye.

Goodbye, Miss Su.

See you, Miss Su.

Thank you, Miss Su.

You are all here.

Mr. Ruan.

You must have heard

Ms. Qiu's speech.

If that can't erase the doubts for the project

of you and Tiancheng Trust,

then we have nothing to do.

Ms. Qiu's speech is brilliant indeed.

But I still have one last question.

Zhou Xiaoshan,

are you sure that we had never met in college?

Maybe we had.

It seems that you finally remembered.

Did you two know each other before?

I wonder if you are interested in the stories

about Mr. Zhou Xiaoshan's past?

Those are more brilliant than Ms. Qiu's speech.

Zhou Xiaoshan,

are there any great achievements of you

that we don't know about?

Great achievements.

Yeah.

Will you tell them?

Or do you want me to tell them?

Zhou Xiaoshan lied to you.

Ruan Wenzhao.

Now let's give the floor

to Mr. Zhou Xiaoshan.

Yes.

I lied to you.

Yes.

He lied to you.

When we were at college,

we were best friends,

and worst enemies.

He even injured me.

But, Zhou Xiaoshan,

at the due diligence,

why did you tell us that you don't know Mr. Ruan?

Why?

We were all young once.

Right?

It's okay, Mr. Huang.

It's water under the bridge.

This tiny little thing won't affect our partnership.

How can you call my names?

Stop crying. Okay?

Stop crying. Stop crying. It's cold.

Stop crying.

Go away!

No. I will take care of you.

Don't take care of me.

I take care of you because I like you.

I miss you because I like you.

I can't help treating you well because I like you.

What are you talking about?

Qiu Jiaxin.

Qiu Jiaxin. Qiu Jiaxin.

Qiu Jiaxin. Listen to me.

Stand still.

Before, I thought that

I like your sister.

But later I realized

that you are the one I truly like.

Have you lost your mind?

Weren't there your favorite

sweet and sour ribs at the canteen?

Why didn't you buy some?

They were sold out when I got there.

I heard that someone bought

all the sweet and sour ribs today.

Who?

Me.

Yan.

Are you looking for Qin Bin?

He's not here.

I remember you were just a silly boy,

and now you are a deputy director.

I was a silly boy.

He is there.

Where do you live now?

I still live in the same place.

The same place.

There.

I live there now. See?

Who is that girl?

His patient.

Yan, you are lying to me.

You wouldn't stop me if she's his patient.

She... She is Qin Bin's ex-girlfriend.

But now they have nothing to do with each other.

She was just feeling unwell.

So she came and asked Qin Bin to have a look.

I'll take you to do a physical examination.

Don't worry. It's no big deal.

Okay. Whatever you say.

She is pretty.

Yes.

No no no.

She is just so so.

What does she do?

Jiaxin, give me a break.

Don't ask anymore. Please.

She must be excellent.

She is a photographer in France.

I'll ask you one last question.

Who broke up with whom?

I see.

No no no.

What do you see?

Jiaxin.

I should go then.

Let me walk you out.

Okay.

You can

come here early tomorrow.

At the registration,

you can say my name to the nurse,

and then come and find me at my office.

Okay.

Thank you so much.

No problem.

You are welcome.

I should go.

Bye.

Bye.

Didn't you leave?

I...

I was observing you.

I wanted to see if you two can get back together.

Are you crazy?

What are you talking about?

Ex-girlfriend came to you.

Do you really feel nothing?

Zhao Yan, you are out of your mind.

It was many years ago!

When she ditched you,

you almost killed yourself.

Can you really get over her?

I wetted my bed when I was eight.

Do I still wet my bed now?

Am I disabled?

Did you really wet your bed at the age of eight?

I'll ask you one last question.

Did you really get over her?

Of course.

It's pure friendship now.

Pure friendship.

Pure friendship.

Something happened.

What?

Jiaxin came just now

to give you Luckin Coffee.

I stopped her and didn't let her interrupt you.

And then?

And then...

Then

she made me tell her everything.

I told her that the girl was your ex-girlfriend.

And that you still like each other.

I...

You are really my good brother.

Wait.

Don't get mad.

Actually I think

it's not a big deal.

Yeah, it's not a big deal.

It's just my life.

Where is Jiaxin?

She went that way.

Jiaxin.

Are you angry?

Don't you have a patient?

Don't drink my coffee.

Isn't it for me?

It's not for you.

How do you know I have a patient?

I guessed.

I can feel that your body

is full of anions.

What are you talking about?

Now you know

how I felt

when I saw you with Jiang Xiaoye.

Full of acid radical ions.

No.

Acetate ions.

No.

Don't believe what Zhao Yan said. I already punched him.

He didn't know what he was talking about.

What he said is the truth, isn't it?

It's not the truth.

It is.

Yeah, it is. But it's a thing of the past.

Jiaxin,

it's so late.

You didn't go home,

and brought me coffee.

Do you have something to say to me?

I volunteered to work overtime.

I love my job.

Really?

Yes.

If you don't tell me,

I'll go back to work.

I'll count to three.

Then I'll leave.

Three.

Master.

I...

I broke up with Ye.

Basically.

It's either breaking up

or not breaking up.

What is "basically"?

It's just

I think we are not right for each other.

See? I told you so.

You two are not right for each other.

So,

you waited so long

and brought me coffee

just to tell me that?

I told you. I...

I love my job. And I like to work overtime.

I bought coffee to refresh myself.

Okay then. I'll go back to work.

Master.

I just wanted to let you know.

I know.

What do you know?

I know that you and Jiang Xiaoye broke up.

What... What else do you know?

I also know that you volunteered to work overtime.

And that you love your job.

You are the worst!

Jiaxin,

I'm really happy

that you told me all that.

Master,

do you still have feelings

for your ex-girlfriend?

Of course not.

I said that it was a thing of the past.

It has been so long.

Really?

Of course!

Master,

can you not be your ex-girlfriend's doctor?

Can you?

Jiaxin, now you are making trouble out of nothing.

But you said it was a thing of the past.

Yeah, it was.

But I treat her disease.

It's a completely different matter.

Your ex-girlfriend came to ask a favor of you in the middle of the night.

Do you feel happy?

I swear that

I don't feel happy at all.

And it's not the middle of the night.

Zhao Yan hasn't got off work.

If Zhao Yan got off work,

you would feel happy, wouldn't you?

Your ex-girlfriend ditched you.

And now she wants you back.

That makes you so happy, right?

No. Jiaxin.

Jiaxin, can you not be such a child?

You call me a child again!

Okay, okay. I won't say it.

Can you...

Can you let me explain it to you? Okay?

So,

Ruoxi has been living abroad.

Ruoxi. Rouxi. Rouxi.

It sounds so intimate.

Don't you know her last name?

Jiang! Jiang Ruoxi.

Yes, Jiang Ruoxi.

Jiang Ruoxi has been living abroad.

A few days ago,

she decided to come back and work in China.

And after she came back,

she felt that there was something wrong with her body.

She doesn't know many people here.

So she could only come to me for help.
