The Ideal City

This is a work of fiction.

Ep28

I heard they said

the welcome ceremony of a second-level leader

was as big as that of a top-level leader.

Were they talking

about Su Xiao's welcome ceremony?

I think so.

Because recently, she is

the only new second-level leader in the group.

Why was the welcome ceremony

too much?

I don't know about that.

Maybe we need to ask Maria.

OK. I see.

Print the emails

and bring them to me.

Go back soon and rest.

Only by

sticking together can we

push Zhao Xiankun to make up his mind.

Also, let me tell you.

The girl, Su Xiao, has to be kicked out.

Otherwise, it would be hell

for the subsidiaries.

It still depends

on the decision of the group and the president.

We have to be quick.

Listen, if she stays,

you will have to pay off

that eight million.

Look.

All of them will visit your uncle.

Hello.

Yes.

I guess that Zhao Xiankun

is having a headache at the moment.

Wang Yang is here too.

Right.

Yes.

Mr. Wang.

Okay, get in there first.

I'll leave now.

Right.

Is he in a stable condition?

The doctor said that he'll be alright.

But he is still a bit weak.

Look at him now.

He used to be so healthy.

He will definitely become better.

Did you figure out what happened?

What was it about?

I don't know the details, either.

I heard

that Su Xiao had something to do with it.

We can't be sure for now.

But my uncle

did go to the group and talk to her

about that eight million.

What're the attitudes of those in the group?

Wang Mingyu said

that he would be impartial.

The president also visited yesterday.

I think it should be positive.

Anyways, decide what you want to do

and tell us.

If you need us,

we will surely be there for you.

We will definitely ensure

that justice is done.

Rest assured.

Thanks, Mr. Wang.

It's difficult for you.

It's alright.

He's in pain.

Su Xiao

You're late again.

I have to blame it on you.

For what?

For being too pretty.

Do you say it

to all girls?

Of course not.

I only say this to you.

If it were other girls,

I would keep playing the game of love.

Do you know which boss I conquered

after meeting you?

Why would I know?

The boss of "I love you".

Come on.

Morning, Hu.

It's outrageous. You have to take care of it.

What do you mean?

Your new assistant, He,

was sitting on Tang's desk.

They were close like this.

It's office hours. What the hell?

Take a seat first, Hu.

Hu.

Drink tea. Don't be angry.

OK.

I'm not angry. I'm just worried.

Tang used to be

such a decent girl.

After He came here,

she became frivolous.

One rotten apple

spoils the barrel.

Tea is not bad. It's refreshing.

A friend of mine grows tea trees.

He gave me two tins of tea.

When you leave,

take one with you.

OK.

Hu,

you've been working on technologies.

I'm always away

on business trips recently.

It's been a while since

we sat face to face

and had a nice chat, right?

Yes, indeed.

Right now, I know nothing

about what's happing in the group.

Last time when we raised capital,

Mr. He asked me for a favor.

He wanted me to discipline his son.

It's not a big thing

and I couldn't just refuse.

I'm not expecting him to do something big.

I just hope to keep my eyes on him

in case he makes trouble.

I see. No wonder.

But I don't think that boy

will follow orders.

I think you can't control him.

As long as he doesn't make trouble, Mr. He will be happy.

As long as Mr. He is happy about it, it will be fine.

Also, Tang

has been working for me for years.

She knows her own mind.

I believe that she will make good decisions.

Yeah. Tang is a good girl.

As for Su Xiao,

I promoted her

exactly because

she has strong professional abilities.

Take a look.

This is TC Construction's report from the last year.

It's a great leap forward

thanks to Su Xiao.

President,

I'm not questioning her abilities.

But even if she is capable,

she still needs to learn more.

She is a nobody in terms of contributions

to the group.

Huang Lilin is disobedient indeed.

Sometimes, he is even unreasonable.

But his contributions

to the group in the past

are among the top ten in this company.

Right now, if you allow a newcomer

to bully an old head,

it will disappoint all the employees.

Only two people were present when it happened.

It's difficult to tell the truth.

Also, you know Lilin.

He is good at making trouble.

But he is in the hospital right now.

He almost died.

Is there anything more important than lives?

He used to be so talkative.

Now he can't even finish a sentence.

President,

aren't you sad?

After all, we are brothers who went through

all the challenges together.

Of course, I'm sad.

Even so,

we still have to respect the objective facts.

Even Huang Lilin said that Su Xiao pissed him.

Why don't you believe him?

You won't believe a brother who shared happiness

and sorrows with you for decades.

But you just have to

believe this girl who

appeared out of nowhere.

Right?

I didn't mean that, Hu.

The rule of the internal management

in our group has always been

to be fair and square.

I just want to know

what happened.

I can't treat anyone unjustly.

It's the same for senior employees

and new ones.

Sure.

I will wait for your investigation,

president.

See you, Hu.

Tang,

get a tin

of Xiao Guan Tea

and give it to Hu.

OK.

Think carefully,

did anything upset Hu

in the past few days?

Why does he object to the appointment

of Su Xiao so much?

It's weird.

Maybe Maria knows more clearly.

Should I ask her to come here?

The girl who returned the cardigan that day...

That one.

What's her name?

I can't remember it at the moment.

Helen. Wu Hongmei.

Yes. Her.

Tell her to come here.

OK.

Hello?

Yes.

OK.

I'll go there right now.

OK.

Good morning, Maria.

Helen.

Where are you going?

Tang told me to go upstairs

because the president wants to ask me something.

What is it about?

Why didn't I know?

I have no idea.

Didn't Tang tell you about it?

Go on.

What are you waiting for?

Did you arrange Su Xiao's

welcome ceremony?

Why did you use

the level of a top-level leader?

Maria told me to do so.

Did she tell you the reason?

Is Hu

unhappy about

this welcome ceremony?

I'm not really sure

if Hu is unhappy about it.

But it seemed like Hu needed to have a meeting

with the tech department

and didn't have time to attend.

Did he attend in the end?

Yes.

Maria told me to call him

and tell him that he must come.

Are you saying

that Maria forced Hu to attend

Su Xiao's welcome ceremony?

I...

Sit down.

Tang,

tell Maria to come here.

Sit.

Come in.

Is there anything I can do, President?

What was that about Su Xiao's

welcome ceremony?

Why did you force Hu

to be present?

Force?

Nonsense.

President.

Before you went on the business trip,

you told me to arrange Su Xiao's welcome ceremony.

I did everything

you required.

I also checked the details

with Mr. Wang.

He agreed...

He said that

when the president makes a speech,

everyone must be present.

Mingyu?

Yes.

Mr. Wang said

that although Su Xiao is a vice manager,

she is in charge of the main business.

She will be in close contact

with all the departments of the group.

So it's good to get everyone to know each other,

which allows her to start working soon.

What was the purpose of

the blog about Su Xiao

on the forum?

Why didn't you delete it?

First,

it doesn't mention her name.

Second,

the blog isn't against the rules.

Are you saying

that you don't know the blog

is about Su Xiao?

I know it.

But it doesn't contain foul language.

What it says is basically true.

Su Xiao was fired from ZJ Construction indeed.

Also, it's true that she was arbitrary

in TC Construction.

That's why people gossip.

In my opinion,

it would be inappropriate to delete the blog.

It would be against

the rule of free speech

that the group always follows.

Free speech?

It's a good excuse indeed.

Maria,

the HR department is there to solve conflicts.

When there's a conflict,

you should work on it.

You always tell me

that you're a professional.

I believe that you're a professional.

But right now, I can't see

your professionalism.

President,

my professional education

tells me

that Su Xiao's abilities

aren't enough to make her become

a vice chief financial manager

at all.

I told you about it a long time ago.

But you didn't believe me, President.

What now?

What Su Xiao did yesterday

is proof

that my previous judgment is right.

So it's been troubling you.

Maria.

You should know your place.

I will immediately tell the network department

to delete the blog.

It's pointless to delete it now.

Go out.

Helen.

How could you tell the president

that I forced Hu to be present?

I didn't. I said you required him to do so.

I mean it.

I mean it, Maria.

Initial Proposal to Convert Debt into Loan

I thought

that I made it clear yesterday.

You did, Mr. Xu.

That's why I went through it

and made an initial proposal.

It's a good proposal.

I think your most urgent task

is to get familiar with

the workflow of the group.

Mr. Xu, when I was working in TC Construction,

one thing left me with a deep impression.

Subsidiaries like

TC Construction

find it difficult to raise funds.

If the group

helps TC Construction when it's in need,

it will surely have

a better development.

I understand

that you have deep feelings for TC Construction.

But I also said that

the investment department is in charge of this.

We shouldn't interfere.

The point of division of labor

is to tell everyone

what to do and what not to do.

But...

Do you have time, Xu?

I've finished reporting.

I'll go out now.

OK.

What time is it?

Why is she still reporting to you?

Amazing, right?

When I heard what she said,

I was also surprised.

Doesn't she know what situation she is in?

She's not stupid. Of course, she knows.

But she joined the group not long ago

and doesn't have acquaintances.

She hasn't even known everyone.

No matter what she does, it's wrong.

Rather than doing something,

it's better to do nothing at all.

She wants the president to see

her mindset in the face of a crisis.

She doesn't trouble herself

but continues to work normally.

I think

it's exactly the most clever way.

Young people nowadays

only think about playing tricks.

Also, two days ago,

I arranged for her to ask

TK Construction to repay eight million.

Yesterday, she came to me and asked about

the possibility of converting the 8 million debt into a loan.

I rejected it.

Just now, she presented me

with an initial proposal of converting debts into loans.

I rejected it again.

But I believe

that if she's not kicked out,

it won't be long

before she gives me

an action plan of converting that debt into a loan.

You're such a soft touch, Xu.

Don't be fooled by her.

She reminds me

of Xiaomin back in the day.

He started a real estate company.

It was such trouble.

After he finally managed to have stability,

he made big changes again.

Huge changes.

Did the president

say anything more?

What would he say to me?

He sends me away for all important matters

and trusts Tang with them.

Be serious.

Otherwise, your dad and uncle Yu

will both be disappointed.

My dad will be disappointed anyway.

Maria,

it's so stupid to hold a plate and sit with

so many people.

I won't have lunch.

No.

You can't just always avoid the canteen.

Do you know?

People already talk behind your back.

They say that you never eat in the canteen

and that you're condescending and arrogant.

Who cares?

These people are so materialistic.

Look.

It's fine that they don't sit with her.

They save us

the trouble of finding seats.

Right?

Yeah.

Look.

Your classmate is so good.

We need to learn

from her in the future.

What are you talking about?

Think about it.

Mr. He has joined the company

for over a month, right?

Have you seen him

eating in the company canteen?

I...

No, right?

Why is he here today?

It's obvious that he's here to support her.

Wasn't Su Xiao

always working in TC Construction?

She's only been in the group for three days.

Do you have any idea

why she is

so close with Mr. He?

Why would I know?

She didn't tell me about it.

Didn't she?

Then this classmate of yours

is really sophisticated.

What do you want?

I'm here to rescue

a female colleague who has been isolated.

Then I really have to thank you.

It's alright.

Don't keep looking at me.

If you keep doing that,

I won't be able to have lunch.

OK.

Let me ask you.

Why do they call you Concubine Su?

Is it because you have a pretty look?

It's because I'm fierce. I'm ferocious.

Understood?

How fierce? Show me.

I don't buy it.

Stop wasting your time.

Tell me then,

what do you prefer? I can change.

Mark.

What do you want?

Don't be so serious, Maria.

Enjoy.

Look at my handbag.

Nice.

Nice.

Let's make way.

Su Xiao is here.

Su Xiao is there.

The lift is here.

Let's go.

Come on.

Let's go.

Let's take the next one.

Let's take the next one.

He doesn't know Su Xiao.

But...

Who's this?

That's the so-called

materialism.

I've never seen it before.

Really?

Check yourself in the mirror

and look at your face.

I'm more handsome than them, I know.

I'm different.

What's so different?

Aren't you also here to laugh at me?

I hope that you will win.

Then I have to thank you.

But I don't think that you will win.

You are really good at

contradicting yourself.

You also piss your boss.

Why do I piss him?

Because you're disobedient.

Why am I disobedient?

I haven't even talked to him.

There you go.

You don't want to listen

and you snap after listening.

By obedience,

I don't mean that you

should do whatever

your boss asks you to do at all.

Also,

what you do doesn't matter at all.

Your boss promoted you

to solve problems,

not to make trouble.

What?

Do you think that I didn't come up with this?

Sure.

I didn't say it anyway.

But my dad said this.

Although he's a bit of a jerk,

his words are correct.

I really hope that you will win.

Tang,

go and print out

the new emails for me.

They're similar.

Don't read them, President.

Su Xiao has exerted negative impacts on the group and all of its subsidiaries. On behalf of all the employees, I urge you to punish her severely. From Wang Yang

If Su Xiao calls

and requires to meet me,

just reject her.

OK.

Tell Mr. Wang to come here.

Which one?

Mingyu.

President.

I like Miss Su. I support her!

This is Lu from TC. This is bullshit, Su Xiao earned everything she has now with hard work

I'm Du Juan from TC. You guys don't know how hard she works.

I'm Dong Lin from TC. Miss Su, come back to TC

I'm Yu Can from TC. Su Xiao is hardworking, devoted and talented

Everyone should be kind. I support her!

Miss Su. TC will always be your home

We'll support Miss Su forever. She did an amazing job at TC, everyone saw that!

Come on.

Hear me out, everyone.

I thought about it.

Many people only read the contents

of the blogs and skip the comments.

So it's not enough if we

just comment.

We need to write blogs for Su Xiao.

Yeah.

Right.

Let's write blogs.

I'll do it.

I'll write like an angel

and beat them.

We don't have to write.

We'll present the statistics.

Juan, do you still have Su Xiao's

attendance records?

Yes. I'll find them.

Great.

Donglin,

find all the Bills of Quantities

Su Xiao made.

No problem. I'll do it now.

Let's start.

Ms. Zhu.

Can you post

our annual financial reports

before and after Su Xiao

joined us on the forum?

I'll have to ask Mr. Wang about it.

It's better

to keep Mr. Wang out of this.

Otherwise, people will think

that Mr. Wang asked us to do it.

I'll think about it.

How about this?

I'll pixelate

the important data.

It will do, right?

OK. Thank you.

Work hard, everyone.

Don't ask Mr. Wang to come here.

Do you also like her?

I'm not sure about other stuff.

But they said that she

has an affair with you.

That's ridiculous.

Of course, I know it's not true.

But I heard

that she was unpopular in TC Construction.

I guess

Su Xiao told them to do so.

If she was unpopular,

how is it possible that they listened to her?

Then it must be Wang Yang.

It can't be Wang Yang.

The president poached talent from him.

He must be very resentful.

Also, it's a matter

of interest

for all the T-subsidiaries.

Even if

he is on friendly terms with Su Xiao,

he can only

stand with Huang Lilin.

If the staff

in TC Construction came up with this idea,

it would be tricky.

They are just

a bunch of nobodies.

It's the will of the people.

Let me help you.

Are you discharged?

Yeah.

Doctor Wang is very kind

and very attentive.

I see.

Thank you.

Be careful.

Come on. Follow me.

He's over there.

He's over there.

There.

Director Xia.

Director Xia.

We finally found you.

Director Xia.

It's difficult to do business.

We really don't have other options.

Director Xia, please make it easier for us

and pay for the materials

in the past two months.

We don't want to put you on the spot.

We all do business with Mr. Huang.

He is in such a bad condition.

We are worried.

Yeah. What if something worse happens?

Where will we get the money?

We need to support our families too.

What are you doing?

Why are you so eager?

This is the hospital.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

I understand your worries.

How about this?

Go to the company with the bills.

I'll arrange for someone to reconcile the accounts.

For everything that matches,

we will pay you immediately.

You're not trying to trick us to leave, are you?

If you stay here,

am I able to conjure up the money?

My uncle is so sick.

Do you think

that I have the mood to reconcile the accounts?

If you go on like this

and my uncle's situation gets worse,

who will be responsible?

What should we do?

He's right.

You don't have other options, either.

TK Construction is professional.

Also, we have been

cooperating for a long time.

It's not even a straw in the wind

but you interpret it as a sign of trouble.

What am I supposed to think?

Should I

also reconsider if it's

necessary to cooperate with you in the future?

Alright.

Director Xia.

Please don't say it like that.

We also have difficulties.

We hope that you understand.

- Yeah. - Right.

We'll go to TK Construction right now.

We hope that Mr. Huang will recover soon.

Good luck.

Come on.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Don't make trouble.

Let's go.

Alright.

Let's wait until we get back.

We'll think of other solutions.

Let's go.

Come on.

Around 20 subcontractors

will go to the company

to settle accounts later on.

If the numbers match,

pay them.

But we need to pay

Cui with the money

in our account.

What about Cui?

I understand.

Those who will come today

are just a part of the subcontractors.

If we pay them,

it will be a positive signal

to other subcontractors

and will dispel their worries.

If all of them make trouble together,

we won't be able to handle it.

I'll come up with a plan for Cui.

OK. I see.

I really didn't

do anything to your uncle.

I did nothing.

Trust me.

I do.

It was my fault yesterday.

I was too worried about him.

Don't blame me.

I don't blame you.

I don't blame you at all.

I'll attend to him.

What's the matter?

Do you want some water?

Here.

Uncle, Xiao is here to visit you.

Uncle, don't be like this.

Don't pull it out.

Uncle, don't be like this.

Stop it, uncle.

Make way.

Come on. Help me keep him under control.

Fix his joints.

Wang, fix his legs now.

Five milligrams of Diazepam.

OK. Five milligrams of Diazepam.

Uncle.
