The Ideal City

This is a work of fiction.

Ep27

That's what happened.

Report to the president.

Huang Lilin

is still having emergency treatment.

I've told Xia Ming.

Okay. Wait a sec.

Su Xiao.

Hello.

I am He Congrong.

The president wants to know

what happened.

Huang Lilin came to talk to me.

He showed symptoms when he was leaving

and fell on the floor.

Did you argue?

No.

Any physical conflict?

No.

Really?

If you don't believe me,

why did you ask me?

Maybe if you say piss off,

I'd believe you.

Piss off.

Hello, Mark.

Anything else?

That's all.

I'll report to the president now.

Okay.

That's it, then.

What happened?

Your uncle came to me.

He said he was drunk at that party

and smashed my phone,

so he felt bad.

He offered me a gift card

for me to buy a new phone.

But when he was leaving,

he suddenly fell on the floor.

Did you argue with him?

I didn't.

How is my uncle?

Operation Room. Authorized Personnel Only. In operation.

Who's his family?

I am.

The surgery was a success.

The patient is out of danger.

But as for when he will wake up,

it depends on him.

I see. Thank you, doc.

He's out.

Go home now.

Xiao.

I'm fine.

I told Bei

I'd spend the night with you at your place.

I'm really fine.

I panicked back then.

But now I'm fine.

I am calm now.

How adaptive humans are!

Back when

I was fired by ZJ,

I was such a mess and didn't know what to do.

I stayed like this for a few days

like I was in a dream.

Now no matter

how surprising a situation is,

I can calm down soon.

That's because you are growing up.

And growing up fast.

Right?

But I don't like

this kind of growth.

Xiao.

Don't think too much.

Huang Lilin is fine now.

You'll also be fine soon.

How can I be fine?

The storm

is yet to come.

What's wrong?

Have you heard from the hospital?

Nothing new.

He had a stroke.

Got treated in time.

He is still alive.

Nothing more.

The favored Concubine Su's story

Call the IT department.

Let them send me

the IP address

of the author.

Oh my God! This is shocking.

Riding on coattails. Concubine Su is something. Is someone powerful backing her?

Riding on coattails.

That's sick!

So many hits!

Then...

Has everyone in the company

Keep updating. It's fun to read gossips when tired from work.

seen it now?

Not everyone.

The most important one

can't have seen it.

The president?

How do you know?

If he knew,

this post would've been deleted.

Right.

Can't trace it?

Why?

The author first used a proxy

then used another proxy

to post this.

We can't trace

the original IP address.

Fine.

Then write me

a detailed report.

Okay.

Should I delete this post?

Wait for my instruction.

Okay.

Mr. Huang.

Mr. Huang.

How can this happen?

It's okay.

It's okay.

Two things.

One, don't spread the news

that he had a stroke.

Quite a few

have already known

from the group.

They just asked me

if it's true.

Just tell them

he is already awake.

Nothing serious.

But still, remind others not to

spread it anymore when you get back.

Especially with the subcontractors.

Okay.

Second, collect as much payment

as you can.

He will be fine.

Mr. Xia, then I'm leaving now.

Keep in touch if anything happens.

Okay.

Who are you looking for?

I'm here to see Fat Huang.

Xia Ming, right?

Your uncle mentioned you to me.

I am Cui.

People call me Mr. Cui.

Mr. Cui.

He runs a bonding company

and offers loans.

Mr. Huang often takes out loans from him.

He has powerful connections.

You can go now.

Mr. Cui, you are well-informed.

In our business,

if you are not well-informed,

you'd be out of business.

Your uncle is useless now.

Why is he useless?

He is doing well here.

We're lucky he was treated in time.

He is out of danger now.

The doctor said

after three

to six months, he'd recover.

Judging by his situation now,

he won't recover

even after three years, let alone three months.

He borrowed money from you.

Not much.

30 million yuan.

He said when the bank loan was granted,

he'd pay me back.

A bridge loan.

Yes, that's it.

At first,

the bank agreed

to issue the loan

to your company next month.

But just now,

the bank called me.

They heard Fat Huang had a stroke.

Rest assured, Mr. Cui.

Even if he can't recover for now,

it won't affect our company's business.

We have five ongoing projects.

All going well.

Our debt ratio is also

in a reasonable range.

The bank won't say anything.

Kid.

With so many quality companies

waiting for loans,

why does the bank

have to loan money to you?

Do you think it's about

how well you operate and the debt ratio?

Looks like your uncle

taught you nothing.

Forget it. That's it.

Anyway, Fat Huang and I

worked together a few times.

And I feel sorry for him.

How about this?

I give you three days.

Prosperity Bonding Co., Ltd.

Why did I know

nothing about it?

Before you joined us,

Mr. Huang often borrows money

from Mr. Cui.

After you came,

what we have are high-quality projects

and we get paid in time.

So he seldom comes to him.

This time, we put too much money

into the All Stars Project.

So Mr. Huang borrowed money from him again.

He started

his career as a gang member.

He's not a good guy.

Mr. Xia, be careful.

He asked us to pay him back in three days.

The bank loan

won't be issued in three days.

What to do?

Put off other payments.

Have 30 million ready for Mr. Cui first.

The favored Concubine Su's story

Are you done?

What are you reading?

Nothing.

Don't.

I need to know what happened

so that I can think of a plan.

Just a bunch of keyboard warriors.

They're so boring. All nonsense.

Don't be mad.

I'm not mad.

It's just that

it went far beyond my imagination.

Who could it be?

It could be anyone.

After all, I directly moved up three levels.

Someone's interests must be harmed.

How about I ask Bei

to delete the post?

No need. Just leave it there.

Just leave it on the BBS?

How bad the effect will be on you?

Look at the hits.

There's no point deleting it now.

Just leave it there.

I want to see

what else they can do.

But you gotta do something.

How about you go see the president?

Explain it clearly to him.

It's no use.

The president

must be more troubled than me.

Go find others

and make some deals?

I don't want to be like them.

Initial plan of bond-turned loans

What is this?

I need to let the president know

that I am worth to be saved.

I can't believe it.

It reminds me of the first time

he and I met.

Flared pants. Printed shirt.

He just kept talking.

From pop stars

to northeastern fried fish,

he was so full of vigor.

There's nothing he didn't know.

What did the doctor say?

Haven't you already

seen the attending doctor?

Congrong.

Ask the driver to have the car ready.

I'll go back soon.

Also, ask Maria to inform

the management team.

Have an emergency meeting.

Okay.

Tell me what you think.

On my way to the hospital,

I only had one thought.

As long as my uncle can live,

I'm willing to pay any price.

Your uncle is fine.

The doctor told me.

He was treated in time.

The surgery was successful.

This is what you think.

I understand how you feel.

But Xia Ming,

you don't necessarily understand how I feel.

I also don't want to see

what you don't want to see.

I also want to figure out

what you want to figure out.

As for the rest,

I will get to the bottom of it.

Okay.

I will want for

your result.

Take good care of your uncle.

If you need anything,

tell Maria.

Uncle.

Uncle.

I'm here.

Do you want water?

Pen? You want a pen?

Wait.

Here.

He is cruel

Relax.

He won't take the eight million from us.

Su pissed me off

I know.

But the doctor asked you to rest.

Don't think about it now.

What's so funny?

Don't keep it to yourself.

Let all of us have a laugh.

There's a post on our company's BBS.

So funny.

It's about Su Xiao.

They say that

Su Xiao is too scheming.

Mr. Wang.

I was about to call you.

I heard the president is back.

How is Huang now?

Do I need to report my work to you?

Su Xiao was

promoted by him.

It's about his authority and reputation.

Then when we are up there,

what should I say?

You still need to tell the truth.

But it doesn't hurt to show

your attitude a bit.

Okay.

At that time,

I was walking back to the office from the toilet.

When I just got to the door,

Ms. Su happened to open the door.

Looked like she wanted someone out.

I saw it was Huang Lilin.

Ms. Su saw me by the door

and suddenly closed the door.

I thought it was strange

so I stood there for a while.

I thought

I heard people arguing.

But I didn't think much.

And I went back to my office.

Are you sure they were arguing?

I can't be sure.

But it was loud.

Our offices

are quite soundproof.

But I still heard something.

Although I didn't hear

what they were saying,

I could still feel that

it was pretty intense.

Shortly afterwards,

I heard Ms. Su yelling

over there.

I rushed there and saw

Huang Lilin was already on the floor.

This is pretty much

what happened.

About this,

what do you think?

All I know is,

when we were

striving for our future.

she was still a nobody.

Respecting the elders

is a basic quality for everyone.

No matter how capable she is, if she is of bad character,

it is still unacceptable.

Mr. Hu is right.

One's character comes first in appointment.

But Su Xiao just joined us.

As for her character,

I think we can't just

jump to conclusions because of one incident.

But as for Huang Lilin's character,

everyone knows it very well.

I won't talk about other things.

why did Dong leave the company?

It happened

just over a month ago.

So, I think in terms of this incident,

maybe,

just maybe,

Huang Lilin pulled his old trick again.

He was the one provoking her.

I heard there was a gift card involved.

It's obvious.

He was there to cozy up to her.

How could he provoke her?

There's indeed a gift card.

I checked.

Its value is 5,000 yuan.

Su Xiao mentioned it to me.

At the end-of-year party,

Huang Lilin smashed

her phone.

So he wanted her to buy a new one.

Did she tell you

what happened?

She did.

She said they were

talking about a payment of 8 million yuan.

But they didn't reach an agreement.

Then, when Huang Lilin was leaving,

he suddenly fell.

There was no physical conflict

nor verbal conflict.

Nothing happened.

Huang Lilin suddenly fell.

Do you believe that?

But there is one thing

that I think you should know.

Su Xiao was fired by ZJ.

It has

a lot to do with Huang Lilin.

Gao Jin. Why didn't you say anything?

I wasn't there. I couldn't tell.

There were only two people.

They'll definitely defend themselves.

So we'll never get to know the truth.

I think what matters now is to see

if Su Xiao

is qualified for this role.

Vice chief financial manager

managing our main business.

Everyone should know

how important this role is.

If we assign such an important role

to someone so immature,

it's like placing

a time bomb.

Xiaomin, do you remember?

When you just became the GM

of the Real Estate Company,

many senior employees

reported to the president

that you were immature

and you couldn't do the job.

As it turned out, they were wrong.

Su Xiao is young. She's only 29.

How mature can she be?

We need to give her

some time to grow.

Right.

When I just became

the GM of the Real Estate Company,

I was indeed immature.

But no one had a stroke

because of me.

What happened today is terrible.

People are watching.

I agree with Mr. Lin.

This incident is

a bad influence in our company.

These e-mails were sent

by the GMs of our subsidiaries,

senior employees,

and project managers

from TK.

They want Su Xiao to be punished severely.

Zhiping.

You are Su Xiao's superior.

Say something.

I'm also responsible for this.

At first, I thought

because Su Xiao is a woman,

Huang Lilin wouldn't be too upset.

It's easier for those two to communicate.

I didn't expect that

they have a history.

That's why

things have gotten to this stage.

However,

I agree with Mr. Wang.

We can't just disapprove of someone

only because of one thing.

I don't think what Xu said is right.

Indeed.

We can't disapprove of someone

because of one thing.

But it's not a small thing.

Yeah.

Everyone is discussing it heatedly.

If we don't handle it in time,

it will be a bad example.

Besides,

I am puzzled about one thing.

Why don't I remember

discussing the promotion of Su Xiao

at the management team's meeting?

It was my decision to promote Su Xiao.

It wasn't discussed by the management team.

Sir, when we set up

the management team,

you stressed repeatedly

that you wanted democracy in this team.

Important decisions about the company

should be discussed by the management team first.

I remember.

Staff appointment

is your right and duty as the president.

But for important posts like

the vice chief financial manager,

can you let us

know first

so that we can offer some advice?

Do you all

agree with him?

Don't be silent.

Tell me. Don't hold back.

Sorry. I hurt you. But for TK, this is the only choice I have. I will keep you safe.

I am torn. One is my closest family and one is the woman I love the most. I really need you right now.

Su pissed me off

My uncle is asleep now. He can't talk yet. He only wrote this.

Sir.

Xia Ming just e-mailed me.

He said Huang Lilin

woke up once.

But he couldn't talk,

just wrote some words.

What words?

I think

this does not mean anything.

Huang Lilin always likes to

falsely accuse others.

Mingyu, he almost died!

Won't your conscience be troubled by saying this?

It's already late.

And the president just got back.

Besides,

Su Xiao hasn't spoken yet.

We can't only listen to

one side of the story.

Shall we continue tomorrow?

Let's think about

what we discussed.

It's quite late.

Sir, shall we call it a day?

Okay. Dismissed.

You guys.

You had things to say

but stayed silent, pretending to be nice.

You wronged us.

You thought way ahead of us.

Drop the act!

Xiaomin.

You surprised me tonight.

Uncle Zhao, what's wrong?

Tang!

Sir!

He is having a stomachache again.

Medicine is in the room.

Help me support him.

Okay.

Mr. Wang.

What's the problem? Say it.

I understand.

That's good.

Some words can be

said objectively by Mr. Hu.

But if it came from me,

it would be different.

Yeah, right.

But I didn't expect that

Mr. Lin was this angry.

Among tens of thousands of employees in this company,

Lin Xiaomin was the only one

moving up three levels directly

on the president's order

before.

Now we have Su Xiao.

It's also hard for the president.

I need to take bullets for him.

Got it?

Got it.

Uncle Zhao, warm milk for you.

Drink it and you'll feel better.

Be careful. It's hot.

Congrong.

You've been busy the whole day.

You must be tired.

Go home and have a good rest.

Uncle Zhao, what about your body?

I'm fine. I'll get better after having the medicine.

Besides, Tang is still here.

Go home now.

Okay. If you need anything,

ask Tang to call me.

Sir, wipe the sweat.

Tang.

I was away the past few days.

Did something special

happen in the company?

Recently, we've been focusing on

Su Xiao's promotion

and what she did

when she was at TC.

Also how she took Chen Simin down.

That's all?

Sir, you know,

they won't say

whatever they want in front of me.

I heard them say that

a Level B manager was welcomed by

a Level A manager's induction ceremony.

Is this about

Su Xiao's induction ceremony?

I think so.

because she is

the only Level B manager joining us recently.

Why was the induction ceremony

beyond the standard?

I don't know about that.

Maybe we should ask Maria.

Okay. I see.

Hand me

those email copies.

Go home and rest.

Okay.
