Episode 33

What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?

You don't have any appetite?

You didn't eat much for lunch.

Is there anything on your mind?

I just never thought that

Su Qian is also in the due diligence team.

Don't overthink.

Maybe it's just a coincidence.

Maybe.

But what if she comes on purpose?

What did they ask?

She finished.

What did they ask?

What did they ask?

Nothing.

Nothing serious.

They just asked what university I went to,

my work experience, and stuff like that.

But, Jianing,

Miss Su comes back this time.

I think it's not that simple.

How so?

I don't know.

It's just

when I greeted her just now,

it seemed that she tried to be alienated from us.

Don't over-interpret it.

She is of the Party A, after all.

Of course she can't be the same as before.

True.

So did you see the face of that man?

He is so odd.

He stood by the glass the whole time,

and said nothing.

I didn't see his face.

However,

even Mr. Huang is respectful to him.

He must be someone.

Next one.

Zhou Xiaoshan.

Zhou Xiaoshan.

Yes.

Please tell us specifically

what you do in PLAN O.

I mainly do experiments

related to pathology and toxicology.

Before entering PLAN O,

you were in the R&D department

of Merck Group.

That department also

works on the research and development of anticancer drugs,

doesn't it?

Yes.

So can you tell us

why you gave up

its advanced experiment environment and rich pay

and came to join PLAN O?

Because I didn't want to be a

second-class citizen my whole life.

Also,

I wanted to live another life.

Excellent.

Are you satisfied with your life now?

There is no perfect life.

But I'm happy now.

Okay, that's all.

You graduated from Keaton University.

What a coincidence!

I graduated from that university too.

We are about the same age.

We should have met each other at school.

Do you have any impression of me?

Think carefully. It's due diligence.

Any deception will have an impact on the outcome.

Maybe.

I don't remember very clearly.

It's a big school, after all.

And it was many years ago.

Yeah.

It has been so long.

Can I go now?

Next one.

Qiu Jianing.

Jianing.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Qiu Jianing.

Have we met?

Do you remember me now?

You are the person I knocked down with my bike.

I'm sorry.

Are you okay now?

I'm okay.

Let's start.

Okay.

I'll ask first.

I have several professional questions

to ask Ms. Qiu.

You can call me Jianing.

Don't need to be so formal.

It's almost been half an hour.

Why hasn't Jianing come down?

She's our leader.

Maybe they have more questions for her.

That makes sense.

The last question.

PLAN O can proceed successfully.

Who do you think made the biggest contribution?

Everyone,

including you who worked here before.

Miss Su,

you have also made a huge contribution

to the protect.

Jianing.

Why are you still here?

What did you guys talk about

for so long?

Nothing. We just talked about the project.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

The due diligence is finished.

Get back to work.

Okay.

Wait a second.

Zhou Xiaoshan.

I was trying so hard to remember

whether we had met each other at college.

Do you like this?

Yes.

What a coincidence!

An old friend of mine

also likes this.

See you.

Zhou Xiaoshan.

Miss Su,

how long will you stay this time?

If there is anything I can help,

just tell me.

Miss Su?

Don't worry.

I'll call you

when I need your help.

Okay.

Let me walk you out.

Do you feel it?

Zhou Xianshan is scared.

What will you do then?

Have you heard of execution by slow process?

The prisoner is sliced piece by piece

and dies from excruciating pain.

He is a man of decisive actions.

But I won't do it his way.

You want to torture him slowly.

He wants to start over, doesn't he?

I appreciate your help today.

That's all for today.

You can go have a rest.

Mr. Ruan,

I have one question.

Do you and Zhou Xiaoshan

know each other before?

Is it that obvious?

Actually I don't quite understand

why you would help me against Qiu Jianing.

But if you are doing this because of Zhou Xiaoshan,

then everything has an explanation.

Your judgment is not wrong.

Zhou Xiaoshan is my enemy.

Enemy?

But you two

are from two different worlds.

How can he be your enemy?

He took my wife from me.

Tell me,

should I revenge him or not?

He took your wife?

But now Zhou Xiaoshan is with Qiu Jianing.

My wife got melancholia because of him,

and killed herself.

I want to revenge Zhou Xiaoshan.

You hate Qiu Jianing.

The Trust wants to invest in PLAN O.

That's three birds with one stone.

We must do it and we must succeed.

I get it.

Okay.

Mr. Ruan.

Goodbye then.

Do you have a minute?

The thing about recruiting patients

is your doing, isn't it?

Why did you do that?

I have a job, and I should seek my duties.

Mr. Ruan wants the administrative power of PLAN O.

Mr. Huang didn't approve at first.

Some necessary tricks

are to gain advantage in the negotiation.

We had disagreements before,

but I believe

you do care about PLAN O.

I hope you don't impair PLAN O

for the sake of Mr. Wang.

Qiu Jianing,

now I finally understand

why you came back to China.

There is not much of a future working with Harry.

I regretted it, too.

Like you said,

PLAN O can be what it is today.

It's everyone's credit,

including me.

Now it's time to harvest.

Why can't I get a slice of pie?

Whatever I said during the due diligence,

I meant it.

You want a slice of the pie.

Welcome.

But I hope you can get it with the right ways.

Is your way the right way?

I'm telling you,

just because you kicked me out of the lab,

doesn’t mean you have the right to talk to me like that.

I didn't kick you out.

It was you who made Zheng Wei forge the statistics.

Whatever you say.

But after everything,

you have to listen to me, don't you?

I don't listen to anybody,

including Mr. Ruan.

If you are right, we can be friends.

But if you harm the project,

I'll do everything to protect it.

Everything?

Did you just declare war on me?

Don't forget.

I'm now the project consultant for Tiancheng Trust.

My words decide

whether Mr. Ruan invests in you or not.

If Tiancheng Trust doesn't invest,

do you think Original Life

still has money for you to burn?

I know the company is having a crisis.

But Tiancheng Trust is a big corporation,

there is Mr. Ruan above you,

and the board above him.

It's billions of money.

I don't think they'll let you decide.

Okay.

Then you can have a try.

Don't scare me, Miss Su.

I'm not stupid.

I know what is going on behind the scenes.

I just don't want to dirty my hands with you.

Wait.

Qiu Jianing,

have you ever thought

why Mr. Ruan

wants the administrative power of PLAN O?

The Trust wants to have the administrative power,

and sends people to PLAN O.

But the profit is the same.

Have you thought of why?

Oh,

is Ruan Wenzhao from the same university as you?

Did he tell you that?

He mentioned this during the talk.

Do you know him?

No.

It shouldn't be.

Why?

You two are about the same age.

There are at most a few hundred students

in school like Keaton University.

How can you not remember him?

I didn't like to

deal with people at school.

But what a coincidence.

How could I knock down

our investor just riding a bike?

It's unbelievable, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

But it's lucky

that Mr. Ruan is magnanimous.

Otherwise the financing would be doomed.

It would be my fault.

You seem to have a very good

impression of Mr. Ruan.

Don't you have a good impression of him?

I don't have any impression of him.

Why is Mr. Ruan here again?

Yeah, didn't he just come here yesterday?

Yeah.

What is he doing here today?

Zhuzhu,

are they having another meeting?

Didn't they interview

the people in the lab?

Yesterday they were just getting to know

the core members of the project.

Today they will inspect their background one by one.

Zhuzhu,

everyone is there.

Take a look at these.

Are all the files ready?

Yes. He'll bring them later.

Okay.

Mr. Ruan,

we are all set.

Is there any problem, Mr. Ruan?

Mr. Huang,

we invest in you is because of PLAN O.

Now PLAN O hasn't gone into production.

Although its commercial prospect is bright,

what we invest in right now

is its core research and development team.

You are right.

Based on this consensus,

I think we need to require

the loyalty of the team.

I hope

the core researchers

can all sign

an employment contract of more than five years,

which includes non-competition agreements.

Mr. Ruan,

although our employment contracts

are signed every three years,

but you can see that

our core researchers

have all been working here for more than five years.

So you don't need to worry about the stability of the team.

But as far as I know,

one of the core members Zhou Xiaoshan

just submitted his resignation to you

a few months ago.

Did he?

Why did I never know that?

Mr. Huang,

according to our investigation,

a few months ago, Zhou Xiaoshan

came back to A City for unknown reasons.

Maybe he was visiting his family.

Wasn't he, Zhuzhu?

I'll go check the logbook.

It's okay, Mr. Huang.

The thing that already happened, I'll let it go.

I have only one request now.

You must ensure that everyone in the core team

doesn't leave.

No problem.

Everyone read carefully

the documents you get.

Here is the thing.

Today the company

requires us to ensure the core team doesn’t change.

So,

based on the former employment contract,

please sign a supplementary agreement.

Mr. Huang, I know every word on it,

but why don't I understand it

when all the words are put together?

Can someone explain it to me?

Mr. Huang means that

the company hopes that we promise

to stay in the company for more than five years,

and that if we leave the company,

we won't take a job in the same industry

within two years.

Mr. Huang, how can you question

our loyalty to the company?

It's just a process.

And if we do get the investment,

I will require the finance department

to raise your bonus and pay.

Hail Mr. Huang!

Dr. Li,

you are sold by them and still counting the money for them.

Do you know that?

Wait a minute.

Zhou Xiaoshan needs to resubmit some materials.

Can't I make a copy of the previous ones?

The previous ones,

such as resume, diploma, health examination report,

and certificate of non-criminal record,

are all from one year ago.

It's better to be within thirty days.

Okay.

Are two weeks enough?

Yes.

Hello, who is it?

Hello.

Is it Zhou Xiaoshan? Mr. Zhou?

This is he.

This is Futong Law Firm.

You can call me Mr. Mao.

I’m entrusted by Mr. Ruan Wenzhao,

I want to talk to you about

a personal injury accident that happened years ago.

I wonder if you have time.

I shot

Ruan Wenzhao.

Why did you do that?

Because...

Because of Xianglan.

You were jealous of him,

so you shot him with a gun.

Yes.

I did it.

Do you want to defend yourself?

One shall be responsible for what he did.

No.

Mr. Zhou,

is that you in the video?

Yes.

Here is the thing.

This is a criminal case,

and it's still within the statute of limitations.

Now entrusted by my client,

I will initiate legal proceedings to you.

The Ruans has already punished me illegally.

Mr. Zhou,

it's not the Middle Ages.

Illegal punishment can't go above the law.

Besides,

it's just your words.

You say the Ruans punished you illegally.

Do you have any evidence?

Just say it.

What does Ruan Wenzhao want?

Mr. Zhou,

I know right now you are

renewing the contract with your company.

According to the regulation,

you need the non-criminal record

provided by A City.

If now Mr. Ruan

sues you,

I'm afraid the contract extension

would be shelved.

So?

So, I suggest you

to settle out of court

with my client.

Who is it?

You came.

Say it.

What do you want?

Go back to A City with me.

What's in it for you if I go back?

Nothing.

I just can't see you be happy.

See?

These are the medicines I need to take every day.

All thanks to you, Zhou Xiaoshan.

For all these years,

I have been living in hell.

You are what you are today,

all because of yourself.

You can't blame others.

Because of myself.

How easily you say it.

If it wasn't because of you,

Xianglan wouldn't have that accident.

I would have lived an enviable life

with her.

But you are hiding here,

acting as if nothing has happened.

How could you?

And you want to live happily with another woman.

You don't deserve happiness, Zhou Xiaoshan.

What do you want me to do, so you can let me go?

It's simple.

I want you to suffer.

I want to torture you.

I want you to live in hell like me.

Is that okay?

I took the shot for Xianglan.

We both know it.

So what?

Listen to me, Zhou Xiaoshan.

I have witnesses and evidence.

You won't get away with it.

It's Zha Zhicai.

It's Zha Zhicai, isn't it?

Zhou Xiaoshan, let me remind you.

You have one week.

After one week,

if you insist on staying here,

my lawyer will initiate legal proceedings.

And then,

you won't leave decently.

I won't surrender.

♪The wild flowers at the roadside♪

You scared me!

What's wrong with you?

Isn't today your day off?

What are you doing in the office?

Are you here to seek consultation?

You told her you like her?

You don't have any chance?

My guess is correct.

What do you mean?

You told her you like her.

And she still went out

with her boyfriend.

It means you are out.

Am I too straightforward?

How do you know

she went out with him?

She posted the photos. Didn't you see?

There’s no post.

Here.

Why can't I see the photos on my phone?

Maybe she blacklisted you by accident.

You...

Jiaxin,

you should remember to

stretch the muscles on your thighs.

Otherwise you'll get hurt.

Also,

when you are in the bouldering area,

remember not to

move away from the mat.

There can't be any gap.

Jiaxin.

Did you hear me?

Ye, I'm sorry.

I spaced just now.

I didn't sleep well last night.

Why?

Is it because you worried about me?

Don't worry.

The coach just scolded me.

It's okay.

I'm glad to hear it.

Ye.

It's ready.

Let's climb.

Jiaxin.

It's such a coincidence.

Why is he here again?

Do you also do rock climbing here?

Why are you everywhere?

What?

Do you own this place or what?

Are you the only one allowed to come here?

So you are saying you're a rock-climbing lover.

Yes.

He's here to challenge.

Will you compete with me?

Yeah, don't be a coward.

Don't be a coward!

Young man,

you are too naive.

Of course I will.

The old man talks too much.

Please.

Don't compete. Everyone plays on their own.

No.

Come on.

Do it.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on, Ye. Don't be a coward.

You can do it, Ye.

Master.

Jiaxin.

Jiaxin.

If a man wants to fight,

no one can stop him.

Yeah.

Don't worry. Ye is professional.

Don't worry.

Don't worry.

It's started.

Are you wearing a babaka?

Ye, teach him.

Stop talking!

Ready?

Go!

Go!

Go, Ye!

Go, Ye!

Go, Ye!

Jiaxin,

one is your boyfriend,

and the other is your mentor.

Whom will you cheer for?

Of course she will cheer for the boyfriend.

Give up!

Go, Ye!

Go, Ye!

Go, Ye!

Old man, get down!

You call yourself a rock climbing lover?

You are not even a beginner's level.

Yeah.

Yeah, don't sprain your waist.

Go, master!

Master.

Are you okay?

Did you hurt somewhere?

I'm okay. I didn't hurt myself.

What is she doing?

Um.

Ye won!

Yeah! The winner is Ye!

Yeah, Ye won!

He won.

He won.

Master, are you okay?

How's your waist?

Don't pretend to be tough.

You are not young anymore.

You may as well grow some flowers and have some tea at home.

It's young people's sport.

It doesn't fit you.

Who said I sprained my waist?

The hospital needs me. I need to go back.

Yeah, go have a check in the hospital.

Don't delay the treatment.

Stop talking! Go have a check.

Don't let it deteriorate.

Bye.

Master, take care.

Bye, uncle.

Stop talking.

Jiaxin,

let's go.

Let's go play.

What happened?

What are you doing?

Come help me.

Quickly!

Mind your attitude!

What happened?

Let's go to the couch.

Oh, my waist!

What sound are you making?

Lie on the stomach.

Get on the couch.

Let me have a check.

Lie down! Okay!

I can't! My waist hurts!

All right.

No no no. It hurts.

Are you a monster?

Your waist is okay.

It's just soft tissue injury.

What did you do?

I don't want to say.

What did you do?

Get off! Get off me!

Get off!

Will you tell me or not?

No.

Then suffer.

Yan, is master back to the hospital?

Jiaxin sent me a message.

Guess what she said.

What did she say?

You need to tell me what you did first.

I competed with that guy to do rock climbing.

Hey, how old are you?

You competed with a kid.

Besides, you should compete something that needs more skills.

Something that needs more skills.

Okay, let's compete in the operation room.

Let's hold a scalpel.

Can he do it?

Can he compete with me?

Yeah, he can't.

But Jiaxin doesn't appreciate it either.

Jiaxin said,

Yan, is master back to the hospital?

What should I reply to her?

My waist really hurts right now.

You tell her the truth.

Look at you.

Jiaxin, your mentor is back.

His waist was hurt really bad.

Maybe you should come and take a look.

Okay, stop it.

You owe me one meal.

She replied.

Okay, let him have a good rest.

I'll check on him on Monday.

You are screwed.

She is someone else's now.

You should give up.

Let's wait and see.

Wait and see?

I'll bring you some medicine.

My waist!

I need some help.

I need help.

Is that good?

You two are here.

What's wrong?

Zhou Xiaoshan, did you finish your materials?

Is it not done yet?

I've been busy. I forgot it.

Come on!

The investor needs to see

everyone's contract,

so they can invest their money.

Now we only need yours.

No matter how busy you are, please hurry. Okay?

If you are too busy,

maybe you can get an agency to do it for you.

No need.

It's almost done.

The deadline is the day after tomorrow.

What materials do you need?

I can...

Everything is done. I just need to sort them out.

Eat.

It's mainly the left side.

Yeah.

Yeah, right there!

Come in.

Who?

Who is it?

Yeah!

Right there. Right there!

What happened to you?

It's nothing. I just sprained my waist.

Can't you tell the important part?

This man

competed to do rock climbing

with Jiaxin's boyfriend.

And then...

He sprained his waist.

Time and tide wait for no man!

Can you just shut up?

Have a seat.

Thanks.

Jianing,

if you laugh at me, I won't attend the meeting.

Okay, I apologize.

How can I put this?

You are in your thirties.

Why did you compete with a little boy?

I'm in my thirties.

Can you tell I'm thirty if I don't tell you?

I'm in my thirties.

This is called maturity.

If I fight kids like him,

I'll get arrested.

Is he qualified to compete with me?

Yeah.

But Jiaxin likes him.

What can you do?

Jianing,

help me.

Thank you.

You want me to help you?

You are odd.

You let my sister help you pursue me,

and now you let me help you pursue my sister.

Who do you want as your brother-in-law?

Me or Jiang Xiaoye?

It doesn't matter who I like.

What matters is who Jiaxin likes.

She likes me.

Can you have a sense of shame?

Okay, Dr. Qin,

take care of your waist first.

I want to tell you some serious stuff.

There will be one more person in our meeting later.

Who?

A Trust wants to invest

in our company.

And their person in charge

wants to inspect our work.

Say something good about our company later.

Okay.

Can you massage or not?

What are you doing?

Can you attend the meeting like this?

I feel better now.

What did you do, Zhao Yan?

Right?

I feel much better. Don't worry.

I'm okay. I'm okay.

Mr. Ruan, please.

Qin Bin.

Let me introduce.

This is Qin Bin,

the deputy director of the tumor department of Aoyang Hospital.

This is Mr. Ruan,

the manager of Tiancheng Trust.

He is discussing cooperation with our company.

So he is here to have a look at our daily work.

Hi, Mr. Ruan. Nice to meet you.

You can do your work.

Don't need to care about me.

This way, please.

Thank you all for coming to this meeting.

So let me just cut to the chase,

and introduce

some symptoms of

the clinical patients we chose.

The first patient is Chen Liang.

He is 64 years old.

His tumor is in his lungs.

Mr. Ruan, you should go back and have a good rest.

Your body is still weak.

And your assistant is not around.

Are you caring about me?

You are the most important partner of PLAN O.

It's legit that I care about you.

Have dinner with me.

Ye, I'll come right over.

Master,

is your waist okay?

It's cold!

Don't move.

Master,

your waist will be at risk

if you don't maintain it carefully.

Okay, I know.

The patch is here.

Don't forget to use it tomorrow.

I'll help you get up.

Hello, Ye.

I... I'm in the hospital for something.

Okay, don't wait for me.

See... See you later.

Don't go.

Does that still count?

Does it still count that you like me?

Dr. Qin.

The patient needs you.

Master.

I need to leave now.

Jiaxin.

Jiaxin.

I'll give you time to figure it out.
