You haven't eaten

the dim sum of Siruchun for a long time.

[Siruchun]

Well. No. No. No.

This dim sum is a gift for someone.

Why did you open it?

Put the lid on it.

Mom,

that box of dim sum is a gift for others.

You can eat this one.

The dim sum is so expensive.

I shouldn't eat it.

I... I won't eat it.

I won't.

You can eat it.

You... Your job is tiring.

If you eat it, I'll eat it as well.

If you don't eat it,

I'll throw it away.

OK. OK. OK. I'll eat it. I'll eat it.

It's so expensive.

Eat it with me.

Mom, I...

You like pastries.

But I don't like them.

I like candies.

Do you remember

the Toffee that

dad bought last year?

Yes. Of course I do.

It's aromatic and sweet.

When it melts in the mouth,

it's like the chocolate.

Lizi,

I know you like

the Toffee.

Well,

If you like it,

buy some Toffee for yourself.

Don't treat yourself badly.

Mom, I... I tried to buy it for myself.

But I failed to get it.

I went to a lot of candy shops,

but I never found the Toffee.

I don't know

where dad bought it, either.

Mom, when will that young man

come here?

I... I'd like to eat it with you.

I'll also eat it. Hurry up.

It's really great.

Eat it, please.

[Longying Private Bank Provides Currency Exchange Service]

[Jing'an Branch of Longying Private Bank]

Go back now.

No.

They fired you.

I don't want to go back.

I will go wherever you go.

Will you go wherever I go?

Then I will go back. You go back, too.

Will you go back?

They made me feel deeply wronged.

If I go back,

I'll punish them.

Now you need to go back,

try your best to speak ill of me

in front of them

and deny all relations with me.

Why? I won't do that.

Listen.

Only if you deny all relations with me,

can you deceive them.

I want you to be a mole for me.

Do you know?

Mole?

Do you understand?

Go away now if you understand that!

Go away!

Fine. I'll leave!

Go away!

No one wants to stay with you.

It's okay. I can leave.

[Jing'an Branch of Longying Private Bank]

Mom, I think

he won't come here.

Well, we can't blame him.

He's not our

relative or friend.

Anyway,

he has to get his own job done first.

He has broken faith with us.

I shouldn't have waited for him.

Well, go to bed early.

Mom, you go to bed first.

I still have a rehearsal.

What kind of job is that?

I hate it.

I gotta go.

Stay safe.

[Lin Fu Rice Shop]

Have people of Longying Private Bank been here?

May I ask…

Are you a clerk?

Where is your boss?

Come on.

Are you the boss?

Yes.

Sir, are you here to buy rice?

No.

Then why are you here?

I'm here to save you.

I also want you to save me.

Sir,

what do you mean?

Jing'an Branch of Longying Private Bank

declares that you owe them 4,000 tael.

You don't know that, do you?

4,000 tael?

I only owe them 1,000 tael.

If you can trust me,

give the account book to me.

I'll help you.

Yesterday,

someone cut the arms and legs of a couple

and threw their bodies on the road.

Have you heard of that?

Yes, I've heard of that.

I saw the news on the tabloid.

Do you know who did that?

White-faced Wei Delong.

The weirdest part

is that Wei Delong

[Wei Delong]

is bloodthirsty.

Mr. Wei?

But I did hear that

Mr. Wei

had killed a lot of people.

There is a feud

between

another banker and him, right?

Feud?

He has already killed that banker.

Killed?

Have you read the newspaper?

Wu Zhifu

who died some time ago

was the

general manager of Shanghai Deposit Bank.

He committed suicide, didn't he?

White-faced Wei had sworn that

he would kill

Zhifu.

Mr. Hu, someone is calling you.

OK.

Miss Lizi, wait a minute.

I'll be right back.

Hello.

May I ask who do you want to talk to?

Is Zhifu here?

Lizi, have you found your book?

Dad, someone is calling you.

Hi. Who is that?

Lizi,

I need to deal with this business call.

Stay with your mom in the drawing room.

Go.

OK.

What's your purpose?

Why do you call me

when I'm at home?

Mr. Lin,

you can take your account book back now.

Why are you still picking the rice?

You know what?

There are always issues with the rice

sent by the rice company.

The mid-range rice has been

mixed with the cheap rice.

And the cheap rice has been

mixed with the inferior rice.

Therefore,

I have to pick the rice.

But after you picked the rice like that,

did your business become better?

Nowadays,

it's already hard for the business to boom.

If the rice is also bad,

then it'll be over.

Mr. Lin, I don't want to criticize you.

But besides your rice shop,

which rice shop of Shanghai

would do that?

I know a rice shop.

Lin Shou Rice Shop.

Lin Shou Rice Shop was founded long time ago.

Their shop is so big.

They have a lot of clerks.

But you even

can't control

your own clerks.

Since you mentioned Lin Shou Rice Shop,

don't you think

your rice shop is too similar to their shop?

The storefronts look similar.

And

Only one word of the signs is different.

I think

maybe this has affected

your business.

How can this affect my business?

People tend to think that

your rice shop is a pirate rice shop.

In my opinion,

you should

renovate your shop

and change your shop sign.

Maybe your business will be better.

I won't change it.

Why don't you change it?

Maybe after you change it,

the fortune of your shop will be better.

I've made up my mind not to change it!

It's none of your business.

OK. OK. OK.

None of my business. None of my business.

I'm gonna shut up.

Well, Mr. Lin,

don't let anyone

of Longying Private Bank

take away that account book.

Am I clear?

Yes.

I'm coming! I'm coming!

Mr. Lin, it's been a long time.

Clerk Tan.

You came here so early today.

If we people of Jing'an Branch don't visit you,

you'll turn a deaf ear to it, right?

Give the 1,000 tael of silver you owe us

to me.

Right now! Right away!

Could you please give me more time?

No, I can't!

You can't give me the money, right?

I believe

you can't give it to me.

Go!

Search.

Stop. Stop.

Stop. What are you doing?

Clerk Tan. Clerk Tan.

Get away from me!

Don't throw it.

- What are you doing? - Bro!

I found the account book.

Well, Clerk Tan,

it's my account book.

Why do you want to take it away?

I was looking for it.

Take it away.

Stop! Clerk Tan,

you've gone too far!

How dare you punch my bro?

How dare you punch me?

Rob the account book?

Give the account book back to me!

Cheng Yizhi.

Go away!

Bro, take it!

All my accounts are kept in the book!

Give it back to us!

Chase them!

Give the account book back to me!

Mr. Lin, chase them!

Give it back!

Stop!

Cheng Yizhi, goodbye.

Stop the car!

Stop!

Assistant Manager Wan,

here is the account book

of Lin Fu Rice Shop.

What happened? Did someone punch you on the face?

Cheng Yizhi also arrived there.

It's a pity that he was a little bit late.

He wanted to take away the account book.

But he failed.

I thought he's very pathetic,

so I didn't beat him.

However, he punched me.

Even if he gets it, it'll still be useless.

He was like a fool.

Mr. Xu scared him.

Yes.

Mr. Xu is very smart.

Hi, this is the office of the assistant manager

of Jing'an Branch of Longying Private Bank.

You know what?

I'm really so unlucky.

Cheng Yizhi was fired.

But why should I be blamed?

I'm not his father.

Think.

Think about it.

I was a good drummer before.

Why did they demote me to the clerk?

Who accomplished the short sale?

Heart-shaped Face,

it's reasonable to demote you.

- OK. I got it. - When Cheng Yizhi was fired,

you hurried

to follow him out, didn't you?

Listen.

You two

are in the same boat.

We're not

in the same boat!

I was asking him to pay me back.

He hasn't returned

my ten silver coins.

Bastard! What's wrong with you?

[Jinming Theater]

Good!

Charlie,

the government debt has crashed.

Mr. Hu

didn't finish his wine.

He ran away as soon as he heard of the news.

You... Have you bought the government debt?

No, I haven't.

But you've bought a lot, right?

Looks like

you really treat me as your friend.

OK.

The government debt crashed.

Why did it crash?

That means someone has accomplished short sales.

I accomplished

the first short sale.

I've earned a lot of money and left early.

But...

But people who bought the government debt

would lose a lot of money.

Good!

His performance is so bad,

But you said it's good.

Are you making the catcalls?

I...

You don't get it.

This is a female laosheng.

Female laosheng?

Her stage name is Guan Xiuyue.

She became an actress half a year ago.

Her female voice is still obvious.

But

look at her appearance

and her figure.

He's cool and energetic.

Her movements

are full of ineffable charm.

I believe that

soon

Ms. Guan will become

the best kunsheng of Shanghai.

Good!

Great!

Charlie,

can you find a way to

help me make the acquaintance of White-faced Wei?

Bro.

How's it going?

Did Assistant Manager Wan check the accounts?

I don't need to do anything.

He doesn't have time to check the accounts.

After the market was open this morning,

the 1924 government bond with a three-year period

fell by 30%.

It's still falling now.

That guy.

I... I...

I don't want to bother him.

If you want to know him,

you have to make the acquaintance of him by yourself.

How can I get to know him?

White-faced Wei only goes to two recreation facilities.

One is the Fuxiang Hall.

It's a brothel. You can't enter it.

And the other is the casino

"Atlantic Club".

But he

only plays Five-card Stud.

He doesn't play any other games.

Besides, he only...

He only sits by the table with high stakes.

As long as you take enough money,

sit down and play two games with him,

you'll be able to talk to him.

How much money is enough?

At least...

80?

800.

800?

800 is a lot of money.

You're not in a hurry, right?

Accumulate the money.

Of course I'm in a hurry.

I can't sleep at night before I take revenge on him for my father.

[De Chang Antique Offers High Prices for Antique Calligraphy and Paintings]

I want to borrow some money.

Sit down and say.

Miss, how much money do you want to borrow?

800.

I'll pay you back a month later.

No, two months later.

Miss, this is the first time that you've borrowed money, right?

It's a great amount.

You can't pay me back two months later.

When can I pay you back to the latest?

Eighteen days later.

What's the interest?

Interest?

Since you're so gorgeous,

you don't need to pay interest.

But

if you can't pay me back before the deadline,

you'll have to give yourself to me.

I got it.

[Atlantic]

Mr. Wei,

would you like to buy a packet of Gilded Garrick?

Light a cigarette for me.

Mr. Wei, you're amazing.

Mr. Wei.

You're so gorgeous,

but why are you so stupid?

Mr. Wei.

Let me take a look.

Mr. Wei!

Mr. Wei.

I hate

the smell of the burning skin and flesh most.

It's so stinky.

If you don't mind,

I would like to sit here.

Change my luck.

[Jing'an Branch of Longying Private Bank]

Because unidentified people

maliciously accomplished short sales

of the 1924 government bond with a three-year period,

I think we may

lose 16,000 tael at least.

Please punish me.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Huang.

Mr. Xu, Assistant Manager Wan,

how's everything going?

Cheng Yizhi,

you're not qualified to

stand here now.

Please get out.

Get out.

Mr. Huang,

please let me finish my sentences.

Get out!

Let him finish his sentences.

Yes.

Mr. Huang,

in the government debt crisis,

besides the obvious

loss of Longying Private Bank,

I'm afraid that behind the accounts,

there is a new loss

caused by Mr. Xu and Assistant Manager Wan's

embezzlement of the capital

of Longying Private Bank.

Cheng Yizhi.

You accused them of that.

If you have no evidence, your accusation will be considered as defamation.

Do you know the consequence?

Do you remember that

I was fired

by Mr. Xu a week ago?

The reason is that I didn't follow his advice

and I loaned

4,000 tael to Lin Fu Rice Shop privately.

But the 4,000 tael

contains a lot of fraudulent loan.

Cheng Yizhi,

you're talking nonsense.

It's a pity.

You two

had no time to check

the account book which you took away

from Lin Fu Rice Shop, right?

Mr. Huang,

that account book

is my evidence.

Mr. Xu, where is that account book?

The Eldest Master,

I was busy checking the government debt today.

Account books are in a mess,

so...

But I remember that Assistant Manager Wan

always

puts the new obtained account books of merchants

in

the first left drawer.

I can bring the account book

here for you. What do you think?

The Elder Master,

there is indeed a discrepancy

of 3,000 tael between Lin Fu's accounts

and the accounts recorded by our branch.

[Lin Fu Rice Shop has borrowed 4,000 tael from Jing'an Branch]

But he's

totally responsible for that.

He asked our branch for a loan of

4,000 tael in the name of Lin Fu.

Mr. Xu,

you're really a man who has been through a lot.

You made a countercharge against me.

Mr. Xu,

you'd better take a look

at the debt of

Lin Fu Rice Shop in the account book.

Let me tell you about it.

It's obviously

recorded on the book that

Lin Fu Rice Shop

has borrowed 4,000 tael from Jing'an Branch.

No way! I haven't...

What haven't you done yet?

You didn't have time to

turn

the 1,000 tael into 4,000 tael, right?

Let me tell you two about it.

It's just a false account book.

But this false account book

has made you reveal your true colors.

Stop the car!

Stop!

Your acting

just now was so real.

I believe

they can't find that it's a false account book.

To be honest,

this is the first time

I've punched someone.

If you can

behave like a fighter,

maybe your rice shop can be saved.

The real account book

is still

in the palm of the owner of Lin Fu Rice Shop.

You can have a check.

But

I'm afraid that

Lin Fu Rice Shop is only one of

their tools

for making false accounts.

I'm not sure about

the specific amount of merchants

who have been made scapegoats

for them like that.

He who commits wrongdoing repeatedly

will come to no good end.

Bye.

Wait.

Mr. Huang, is there anything else you want me to do?

You made here a mess

like the strong wind and the sudden rain.

And you just want to leave like that?

You haven't tidied here up!

From tomorrow,

you'll become

the manager of Jing'an Branch of Longying Private Bank.

Hope you can help us purge bad spirits and regain solemnity.

Goodbye, the Eldest Master.

Let's stop.

Now you have 300 tael left for gambling.

You need to pay him back four days later.

Why don't you make haste to practice?

What do you want to do?

I have to make him interested in me.

At least have midnight snack and a dance together

after we finish playing cards.

Otherwise, I don't have

any chance to get close to him.

Miss Lizi, do you know that

he cut the arms and legs of the woman he loved

and threw her body on the street recently?

Is the voice of White-faced Wei

always high and squeaky like that?

Yes. So what?

Is his voice also like that in private?

I'm not sure.

[Chen Chen Tung Oil Factory Chen Chen Tung Oil Limited Company]

Chen Chen Tung Oil Factory has owed us

11,000 tael.

In the past eight months, you paid nothing back to us.

Jing'an Branch of Longying Private Bank

demands that all debt be paid off this month.

It's totally reasonable.

Assistant Manager Cheng,

what we did is indeed wrong.

We shouldn't be default on the loan.

But you

should give us two more months at least.

Will two more months be useful?

You spent 10,000 tael on that machine.

Is it worth it?

Can you use it?

Although we can't use that machine,

our tung oil is good.

Your tung oil is good. So what?

The tung oil of normal quality

is already suitable for

the daily brushing function.

I've asked someone about it.

The highest price in the market

is no more than eighteen tael per picul.

Even if your tung oil is excellent,

can the price of it exceed twenty tael per picul?

Even if I give you four more months

or six more months,

it's not gonna work.

Because you can never

pay off the debt.

Assistant Manager Cheng,

Chen Chen cannot go broke.

My wife left with someone else.

And I need to borrow money from others for my child's education.

I always hope the tung trees can grow up.

After they grow up, we can extract tung oil from them.

After we extract good tung oil,

everything will be alright.

Now we've made

high-quality tung oil.

But our factory is going broke.

Director Zhang,

you dug the bottomless pit

on your own.

It's inevitable that

your factory will go broke.

Cong.

Manager Cheng,

please do not let us die.

Miss Lizi, it's been a long time.

Yes.

The ornaments here have changed.

Yes.

- I gotta go inside. Thank you. - OK.

Buddy,

may I ask are there books about tung oil?

Books about tung oil? Well,

go inside and keep walking.

They're on the right shelf with books of economics.

The innermost corner, right?

Yes.

OK. Thank you.

[Ten Lectures on the Sale of Tung Oil]

[Ten Lectures on the Sale of Tung Oil]

Thank you.

Never mind.

[Economy]

Yizhi.

Bell,

I want you to

use the best cloth to

make a long shirt now.

I need it tomorrow.

A long shirt?

Yizhi, have you been promoted?

Now I'm

the manager of Jing'an Branch of

Longying Private Bank.

Manager?

Who? Who?

Who has become the manager?

Thank you, guys.

Yizhi.

I was poor before.

I could only endure misfortune with you.

- Now I've got some money. - Thank you.

I can enjoy blessings with you.

Here you are.

Thank you, Yizhi.

I believe Yizhi can be successful.

I already knew that.

Yes.

- Well, take my measurements. - Hey, I knew that before you.

I also knew that.

Thank you, Yizhi.

You're welcome. You're welcome.

Buy some food at will.

OK.

Please put a bet.

If the dark card is five,

a straight will be formed.

If it's not five,

I'll be able to win back

all my chips.

Mr. Wei, you want to deceive me, right?

I won't fall into the trap.

100 on Reese.

Equal. Please show us your cards.

Miss, sorry.

Two pairs. Straight.

Straight won.

Miss, you're really my

lucky girl.

Thank you for letting me win.

Sorry. Thanks.

Thank you, sir.

See you.

[Jing'an Branch of Longying Private Bank]

Hi, manager.

The Elder Master has appointed

me as the new manager of our branch.

And you've known

the consequences

of Mr. Xu,

Clerk Tan and Assistant Manager Wan.

Because of the embezzlement, influence peddling,

slander and frame-up,

they've already been fired.

We won't employ them again.

The three of you once helped them.

Luckily, you've shown

great diligence in the business of our bank.

Our branch has decided to keep you.

Thank you, manager.

"Heart-shaped Face" Pang Feng,

you've made a remarkable achievement as a drummer.

So now you'll succeed me as the assistant manager.

Thank you, manager.

Guys, hope you can carry forward the cause pioneered by our predecessors

forge ahead into the future,

maintain the credit and honor

of our branch with me.

Everyone, keep up the good work!

Yes.

Dismiss.

Miss, are you here to visit Charlie?

I'll return your 800 tael tomorrow.

I'll return all of the money.

OK. Miss, I trust you.

Anyway, you have a good family background.

You're Mr. Wu's daughter.

Miss Lizi,

if you can't pay me back tomorrow,

you'll be mine.

Let's talk about it tomorrow.

How's it going? Can you pay him back tomorrow?

There is only 100 left.

Well,

I did make some money

from the bond before.

I also want to lend money to you,

but I... I've spent all the money.

I bought an apartment for Guan Xiuyue.

Is she the female laosheng?

You know me.

Charlie,

I want you to prepare

a toxic agent

which is colorless, odorless and dissoluble for me.

Director Gao,

as a representative of

Jing'an Branch of Longying Private Bank,

[3,000]

I'd like to lend 3,000 more tael

to Chen Chen Tung Oil Factory.

Let's start with your good tung oil.

The refractive index of the tung oil of Chen Chen Tung Oil Factory

is 1.52.

It's as good as

the high-quality Sichuan Tung Oil.

And the high-quality Sichuan Tung Oil

can be sold to foreigners at a good price directly.

Well,

it's not used to

paint ships, cars

or wooden houses.

It's applied to the artificial leather and the synthetic rubber.

But now our factory

can produce at most 200 picul of tung oil per month.

So our current

first priority is to

improve the machine as soon as possible.

With that money,

it's easy for you to pay off your debt.

Great. Great. Great.

Director Gao, the time is running out.

Our machine has to be successful.

Did your clerk go to the theater again?

Cheng...

No.

Today,

I should call you Manager Cheng.

Thanks to

your previous help.

Today, it's my turn to help you.

Help me?

Give the account book to me.

Wait a minute.

Here you are.

Give the bag to me.

OK.

Although the debt

of Lin Fu Rice Shop is not 4,000 tael,

I'm afraid that you'll lose the shop

if you can't pay off the debt.

To be honest,

when I read

your account book last time,

I was very curious.

The quality of your rice

is much higher than that of the rice of other rice shops.

But the price of your rice

is a bit lower than that of the rice of other rice shops.

I can't figure out

why your business is so bad like that.

So

I investigated other rice shops secretly.

Actually, your Lin Fu Rice Shop

is related to Lin Shou Rice Shop.

Stop talking.

Manger Cheng,

you don't have to mind my business anymore.

I must mind it.

You're an illegitimate child. So what?

It's not your fault.

Mr. Lin,

you don't have to worry about that.

You're not me!

How can you know what I'm worried about?

No one can get it.

That kind of look.

That kind of humiliation.

Bastard.

Of course Cheng Yizhi can get it.

Mr. Lin knows about

his father at least.

But Cheng has been called

bastard since he was young.

Children of the same age bullied him.

His crazy mother tortured him.

There were always scars on his face.

How can he forget

his humiliating childhood?

Maybe I don't understand your grievance,

[Lin Fu Rice Shop]

but I know that

if you keep being

a coward,

you'll let your father down.

The Lins spared no effort to destroy

Lin Fu Rice Shop,

which has made your business extremely bad.

But you

refused to change this shop sign.

It's because your father

loved you and took good care of

both you and your mother when he was alive,

even if your mother

was just a servant.

Lin Fu Rice Shop is

a bond between you and your father.

So you carefully picked every grain

of the rice of your shop.

You hope you can

live up to his legacy.

But Mr. Lin,

if this rice shop goes bankrupt,

how can you

make your father satisfied?

[Lin Fu Rice Shop]

But Manager Cheng,

Lin Shou Rice Shop

is much better than my rice shop.

How can I confront them?

Since you want to resist,

it'll be easy for me to handle that.

You don't want others to know

that you're an illegitimate child.

The Lins have the same idea as you.

So

I've already asked

Assistant Manager Guan of Beidang Branch for help.

He has signed a contract with

the owner of Lin Shou Rice Shop.

Since they don't want others

to know that you're an illegitimate child,

they shouldn't get involved

in Lin Fu Rice Shop's business.

Manager Cheng, is it true?

Mr. Lin,

from today,

you can have a fair competition

with them in the rice business.

Hope I can get your bonus shares next month.

Manager Cheng,

Heart-shaped Face

asked you to go there.

Heart-shaped Face?

Yes.

[Fuxiang Hall]

Bro.

I'm Cheng Yizhi.

May I ask why did you detain my bro

Pang Feng here?

Mr. Pang, tell him.

After I got my salary,

I came here happily.

I drank a bottle of imported wine,

smoke some good cigarettes

and listened to Ms. Moli's song.

When I planned to ask the kitchen

to cook a late night meal for me,

I found that my silver certificate had gone.

I don't know who stole it

from me on the road.

My bro is not a bad guy.

Please

forgive him for his fault tonight.

[2,000 yuan]

Mr. Cheng, you're incredibly graceful.

I believe your bro is as good as you.

But

the dim sum and the imported wine,

Ms. Moli, the opium and the tea...

It's a lot of money.

It's not a big deal.

There is one more request.

What is it?

He's a man.

If there is a rumor that he welshed on a deal,

I'm afraid that it'll beneath his dignity.

So I hope

everyone of the Fuxiang Hall

can let my bro go

with some dignity.

Don't worry, Mr. Cheng.

I agree.

Others

will never know what happened tonight.

Thank you so much.
