I...

I'm here,

I'm here to do my work.

Yes.

Longying Private Bank plans to

loan money to Starlight Theatre.

So I am here to

check its state of operation in advance.

I got it.

Like the secret investigation, right?

Yes. It's the secret investigation.

Why are you here?

I'm here to see a movie.

You're also here to see a movie.

It's "The Kid".

I have seen it several times.

But I still like it.

Chaplin is a genius.

Which Lin?

Chaplin.

[Zhaohua Photo Studio]

Your mum bought you this.

[Starlight Theatre]

I like this movie, too.

Oh, really?

Well, will you grant loans to the theatre?

Yes, I will.

It has lots of customers.

Its business is brisk.

It's worthwhile to invest.

How did you see that?

Look!

When we went in,

the preserved plums and sunflower seeds

piled up here.

But now half of them has gone.

This fully proves that its business is brisk.

This is how I came to my conclusion.

Manager Cheng, you are awesome!

Look around!

Is there anything else you'd like to eat?

I want to eat...

The Kumquat Cake.

How much is the Kumquat Cake?

Yizhi.

Ms. Lan.

Hello, madam.

You two are lovey-dovey.

It's still daytime.

But you are having a date in the cinema.

I'll be around here.

Let's have lunch together.

I'm afraid I can't.

Because the Elder Master

asked me to go to his residence.

All right.

Since you men have work to do,

we women will go window-shopping.

Then I won't stall you.

Then I will take her with me.

[Zhaohua Photo Studio]

See for yourself first.

I have things to attend to.

OK. Sorry to have troubled you.

It's nothing.

[Zhaohua Photo Studio]

[Subsidiary ledger]

The negative is like an abstruse book.

It's all Greek to Cheng Yizhi.

But he remembered

how flustered Wu Zhifu was

when entrusting him to take care of it.

Cheng Yizhi is well aware that

to protect Lizi,

he has to

bury this secret.

[Huang Residence No.8 Pushi Road]

Manager Cheng, wait here for a moment, please.

Master is handling something inside.

OK.

It's so hard to make the municipal council

admit a new Chinese director.

Master,

the French directors of the municipal council

were persuaded to give their consent.

But the Chinese director Jin Yishan

is as stubborn as a mule.

He just refused to give his consent to it.

He even tried to convince

the municipal council's Chinese directors on friendly terms with him

to go against us.

Master, in my opinion,

we'd better shoot him dead.

You are showing addiction to opium

right under my nose.

Leave.

Come back to work after you detoxify.

If you can't give up hitting the pipe,

I won't accept you as my disciple.

Get out!

Is Cheng Yizhi here?

Yes, he is.

Show him into the outer room.

Master.

How do you feel after getting married?

As newlyweds,

I feel good.

After getting married, a man

feel compelled to strive hard.

Do you know why?

Because he has to give his beloved

the best life.

Wu Lizi's family came down in the world.

She must have undergone many hardships.

As her husband,

you are obliged to make her happy.

Am I right?

To be honest with you, master,

I have the same thought.

Take a seat.

You have accumulated

a lot of experience

in Longying Private Bank.

Are you willing to break fresh ground

and try something harder?

As long as I can share your burden,

I'm willing to

do anything.

The French Concession's municipal council is narrow-minded.

It's reluctant to admit new Chinese directors.

This has been

worrying me the most recently.

If you are interested in it,

would you like to

handle it for me?

Thank you, master.

OK. I'll wait for the good news from you.

I'll do my best.

How about your lunch with Ms. Lan?

Now you are asking.

You left me with Ms. Lan.

Madam asked me to call her Ms. Lan.

Then she kept chatting with me.

It's not exactly a chat, in fact...

What?

Yizhi,

about our marriage,

what did you say

to master and madam?

Did they give their consent to

our marriage?

I feel that

Ms. Lan seems to be dissatisfied with me.

Madam intended to

fix me up with some other girl.

But I married you

without letting her know.

Maybe this displeased her.

Are you sure

they don't mind things about my father?

Does Elder Master think

marrying me

will hinder your career development?

It's quite contrary.

Today Elder Master told me,

as your husband,

I had an obligation to make you happy.

Well, what is that?

This is the lucky bag from Ms. Lan.

She wished I could bear a child soon.

Bear a child?

Yizhi.

On the wedding day,

I got drunk

and didn't have intercourse in the bridal chamber.

Since then,

I have been under the weather.

It doesn't matter.

I'll wait till you know me well

and I know you well.

I am willing to wait.

Go to sleep.

Good night.

I have checked that

Cheng Yizhi didn't lie.

It's true that

he hasn't worked for Longying Private Bank

for a long time.

He used to

work as an assistant of Chu's Dried Food Shop.

He was promoted to manager within such a short time.

Could there be any secret behind this?

Well, you married him

after meeting him several times.

What's the secret behind this?

I heard that

the manager and the assistant manager

of the Jing'an Branch of the bank

colluded with each other

to embezzle

a huge amount of public money.

Cheng Yizhi found out their crime

and exposed them.

He made a name for himself by this.

Is that all?

In secret,

did he ever help Huang Ruhong

do any

dirty work?

In secret,

Huang Ruhong is engaged in

questionable business indeed.

Besides the private bank,

he also owns a gambling house.

I guess you know it.

It's the Atlantic Club.

But he entrusted his disciple

Lei Daming with the business

of the gambling house.

Lei Daming is dubbed Leizi

in the gangdom.

Even if Cheng Yizhi wants to have a hand in it,

he is not allowed to.

No wonder Ms. Lan is on guard against me.

I guess she must know that

I used to frequent

the Atlantic Club.

She might also know that

I got into gambling debts.

It must be Huang Ruhong that

instructed her to sound me out.

Lizi.

Huang Ruhong

has nothing to do with your father.

He is a bigwig of the money business.

But he has never associated with the

the leadership

of the banking industry.

I have investigated him.

He had neither partners

nor interests in the banking industry.

If you suspect him

only because of

that call

and that voice,

it'll be ill-founded.

All right. Take it back.

You are newly married.

And you have neither family nor friends.

If you still treat me, Charlie,

as your friend,

accept my congratulations on your marriage.

Charlie.

OK. No sentiments.

You don't think highly of Cheng Yizhi.

But I do.

After all, he is the manager of a bank.

If I am short of money later,

I hope you can help me, Mrs. Cheng.

The Chinese director Jin Yishan loves to do charitable work.

He not only founded the Tongzhou Charitable Foundation,

but also built a foundling hospital.

It's said that the foundling hospital

is equipped with

great facilities that

better than those of the Shanghai Concession.

By the way,

he is also engaged in many other industries.

He owns a hardware factory,

a light bulb factory

and two tungsten mines.

Well,

he ever ran a private bank as well.

And he was ever the boss of Lujue Dance Hall.

Boss of the dance hall?

Yes.

He bred enmity with us

due to the dance hall.

Back then, he seized the land

for the dance hall

from our Longying Private Bank.

But shortly thereafter,

he sold the dance hall.

[Foundling hospital]

Let's go in to have a look.

There's no way for us to get in.

I have tried all means.

I even bribed the entrance guard.

But I still failed.

See how I do it.

(Foundling Hospital Multiple-use Building]

Guard!

Hello, sir!

A child-care nurse

is supposed to meet me here

at half past three this afternoon.

Where is he?

May I ask who you are?

My surname is Zhao.

I am a friend of Mr. Jin.

Mr. Zhao.

Do you know

why the nurse isn't here?

Which nurse is responsible for

receiving you?

I am going to

ask you this question.

Why are you so impolite?

So improper!

Mr. Zhao.

Sorry. Sorry.

Come in, please. Come in.

We are not thoughtful.

I'll send people to receive you immediately.

Don't let this happen again.

This won't happen again.

Mr. Zhao.

I am the managing director Ms. Ding.

Nice to meet you.

This is our classroom.

Good afternoon, Ms. Ding.

Good afternoon.

The educational atmosphere

is great here!

Mr. Zhao.

What did Mr. Jin invite you to come for?

He invited me to come and see for myself

the work results of the foundling hospital.

Well, didn't he tell you about this?

Sorry that I was negligent.

This way, please.

OK.

This is our school history showroom.

These are all photos

of the students

we have taught

over the past years.

These are

the awards we won.

These certificates of awards

are impressive!

These are all attributed to

our boss Mr. Jin

and his hard work.

He raised funds and built the building for us.

He also takes care of

the children's learning and employment.

When we nurses were ill,

Mr. Jin sent for doctors

and made them diagnose and treat us.

Sir,

what does the foundling hospital look like inside?

It is like what people said.

How about Jin Yishan?

What did they say about him?

It's also like what people said.

Is that all?

You stayed inside for quite a while.

I thought you would

find out any difference.

When Jin Yishan got in and out of

Tongzhou Charitable Foundation,

did you notice the watch he was wearing?

There is a school history showroom in the foundling hospital.

Many photos showing him and the children

are on display there.

In each photo,

he wears a different watch.

All the watches look expensive.

Are you suggesting that

he likes collecting watches?

If a person

is fond of something, things will be easy.

[Atlantic Club]

Have you ever heard about this place?

I know it. It's a gambling house.

Have you ever been here?

I heard that none of the people coming here

is decent.

Ms. Lan.

Let's hang out

in other places.

[Atlantic Club]

People roll dices

and play cards in it.

Let's get in to play some games.

Ms. Lan.

I really don't like such a place.

I don't know how to play the games.

I am afraid that I'll disgrace you.

I heard that the department store

just put the fur-lined coat on sale.

It's very pretty and suits you a lot.

Let's go to

the department store, shall we?

Let's go.

Lizi,

why do I feel

you are afraid?

Such a place really makes me uncomfortable.

Let's go.

[Atlantic Club]

What fun can the department store bring us?

[Pocket watch]

Master.

Mr. Cheng wants to see you.

He said he would donate money

to Tongzhou Charitable Foundation.

What is the Mr. Cheng?

He didn't hand over his business card.

He only said he hoped to talk with you face to face.

Ms. Lan. It's my fault.

I dampened your pleasure today.

You didn't get a pretty fur-lined coat, either.

Don't mind it.

I just

thought that

you might be boring staying at home alone.

So I asked you out to have some fun.

I didn't expect that

you would dislike the gambling house so much.

I will accompany you next time.

OK. I'll ask you out next time.

Mr. Jin.

Since you don't want to offer your business card,

maybe you work for Huang Ruhong, don’t you

I am the manager of the Jing'an Branch

of Longying Private Bank.

I am here to donate money to

your Tongzhou Charitable Foundation.

I don't need your money.

I fear your money might be ill-gotten

and blacken the name of my foundation.

Mr. Jin, no kidding, please.

We didn't make money by stealing or robbery.

How come they are ill-gotten?

Mr. Cheng,

you bought

the Angelus split-seconds pocket watch

from Hendry Foreign Firm,

didn't you?

Show it to me.

What a great watch!

Manager Cheng,

you're smarter than

that silly Leizi.

It seems that

you want to make friends with me.

But actually

you want me to support

the election of the Chinese directors.

Did Huang Ruhong

teach you all these?

What a pity!

These tricks

can't make him the Chinese director.

Mr. Jin,

you are a Chinese director.

In the French Concession,

we Chinese are of little influence,

but outlanders of stronger one.

Haven't you ever worried about

such great disparity?

Why did you reject

another Chinese director in Municipal Council?

Are you afraid of

your power being weakened?

Or are you short-sighted

for not understanding

it's a way to expand forces of Chinese?

What an inspiring speech!

To be frankly,

and please

tell Mr. Huang,

I never

reject another Chinese director.

What I reject is Huang Ruhong.

As long as I am here,

he will never be allowed into the Municipal Council.

[Longying Private Bank]

Here we are, Miss.

Thank you.

Thanks, Miss.

Welcome.

Lady, you are…

I'm looking for...

For...

Landlady?

Landlady, you are here.

Where is Yizhi?

He isn't here

but may come back soon.

How about a cup of tea?

No need. I just look around.

This is the Manager's Office.

[Manager's Office]

See that large office table? Stylish, right?

By the way,

did you loan

to Starlight Theater?

Starlight Theater?

Don't you know that?

Of course I know.

But...

How did you know that?

I said.

No wonder.

Okay, it's your time.

I won't bother you two.

Why are you here?

Can't I take my husband home?

Of course you can.

Let's sit upstairs.

This way.

Too many customers today.

It's okay.

[Manager's Office]

Have a seat here.

Oh,

I just

have a gift for you.

With this from Starlight Theater,

you can see all movies there for free.

If Chaplin's new movie

is on,

ask me to see it with you, okay?

Thanks.

If you do want to thank me,

could you go to a place with me?

[Lujue Dance Hall]

You should come here

with Heart-shaped Face.

Why?

Isn't here

for the man to make merry?

I'm already married.

So I should come here with my wife

like these men.

Do you want to dance here?

I don't know how to dance.

Then why are you here?

You can teach me.

Put your right hand on my waist.

Like this?

Then raise your left hand.

Like this?

How to move my feet then?

Left.

Okay, left.

Good job.

Right?

Left.

Right.

Forward.

Right.

Left.

Backward.

Do you come here

just for dancing?

Or else?

You come here

to check for the state of operation

to see whether

the loan is worthy.

An uneven floor tile.

In the past,

the floor tile will be changed soon.

Did you come here before?

When Mr. Jin just opened here,

I came once.

Mr. Jin?

Which Mr. Jin?

Jin Yishan.

This ballroom belonged to him.

You mean the Mr. Jin who does business

in bulbs and tungsten ore?

Yes.

His wife was fond of dancing.

But since she gave birth to the second son,

she even has had difficulty in walking,

let alone dancing.

Since then, she has never appeared in public.

So sorry to step on you.

Are you okay?

I'm not a good learner.

You already did well.

When I

learned it from my dad

the first time,

I stepped on him twelve times.

Twelve times?

Wow,

do you mean I still have 11 times?

You can't.

Okay, I'll try my best.

Be careful.

Take care.

[Longying Private Bank Jing'an Branch]

Manager,

this is the round-the-clock record

of Jin Yishan's detailed schedule.

He never goes to brothel,

opium den

nor gambling house.

He lives a simple life.

Does he only go to these few places?

Right.

Besides his own residence,

he only goes to charity society

and institutions

under it.

What's more,

he only had social engagements four times within these three weeks.

All public occasions.

Does Jin Yishan contact

any doctors

or hospitals frequently?

I heard his wife

had trouble with her legs.

She almost stays at home all time.

This...

This information is a key.

You must find it out.

Go on.

Wait, did Jin Yishan

always go to the foundling hospital every Friday?

Right.

Every Friday

at 3 p.m.

Why so frequent?

After all that is

a key part of his charity.

Mr. Zhao?

Ms. Ding.

Nice to see you again.

Excuse me, Mr. Zhao,

was your last visit

to our foundling hospital

arranged

by Mr. Jin in person?

I was going to

apologize to you.

I checked it later.

It was my subordinate who made appointment

with Tongzhou Charity Society.

There must be

some wrong messages conveyed by him.

So sorry for the blame

last time.

It doesn't matter.

So you are here for…

Tongzhou Charity Society

asked me to meet Mr. Jin here

at 3:30 p.m. today.

Has Mr. Jin already arrived here?

Yes, he is here.

But he is having something

to deal with.

Are you sure that the Charity Society

asked you to be here today?

I'm sure.

Ms. Ding,

could you inform Mr. Jin

and tell him

I'm waiting for him?

Okay. Please wait a moment.

Thank you.

Just a moment.

In case...

Inform me if necessary.

Get it.

No problem.

Okay.

Mr, Jin,

Mr. Zhao is here again.

He claimed that

Tongzhou Charity Society had asked him here.

Mr. Zhao?

Aunt Liu, I'm not available now.

Thanks for your hard work.

Thank you so much.

Mr, Jin, no need for that.

It's my duty.

Okay.

Show the way.

Which Mr. Zhao?

I don't remember

I had an appointment with any Mr. Zhao.

It's the man who said last time you had invited him

to visit our foundling hospital.

I just don't have any impression.

Where is he?

He was here just now.

Mr. Zhao?

Are you here?

Sweetheart,

why are you sitting on the ground?

See yourself.

You are so...

Could you stand up?

Be a good girl, okay?

Please come in.

Ms. Lan, have a look around.

Ms. Lan, please sit here.

[Felicity]

I'm surprised

that you are good at homemaking.

What a clean house!

If I had known your coming in advance,

I would have tidied the house.

The home isn't tidy enough.

Leave it to me.

Okay.

Go on with your work.

Ms. Lan,

have a tea, please.

Thanks.

No wonder you were the young lady.

Dim Sum looks more pleasing

when put in the plate.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I just remembered the past

when my dad back

from his business trip,

he would

bring me such dim sum.

Lizi,

how poor you are.

If your dad hadn't encountered such misfortune,

you would

still live a carefree life.

Ms. Lan, forget it.

Please do not hold anything

in your heart.

Chat with me if you want.

In the past,

they all called me Lady Wu.

But now,

once knowing my identity,

the daughter of Wu Zhifu,

they all change attitudes towards me.

They despise him for corruption and bribery,

but

there is nothing to do with me.

I was desperate,

so I worked in the bar.

Isn't that enough?

But they still...

Still speak ill of me

behind my back.

My father is dead.

Do they want me

to go away like my dad?

Just social snobbery.

Don't mind.

Ms. Lan,

that club actually,

I went there before.

So sorry to lie to you.

I'm sorry.

Ms. Lan,

that day,

I didn't dare to come inside.

I was afraid of being recognized.

I didn't want to recall

my misfortune again.

It's my fault.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

Yizhi is such a good boy

that we all think high of him.

But your marriage

with him is so sudden.

So I always want to

help him test you.

Please don't care about

what I said or did before.

All right now.

We are a family.

Just be frank.

Okay.

Who is it?

Aunt Liu, Mr. Jin asked me here.

Hello, Aunt Liu.

I never saw you before.

Right. I am a distant relative of Mr. Jin.

You can call me Fan.

I work for Mr. Jin

not long ago.

Mr. Jin wondered

whether you need anything necessary.

Then get me a can of milk powder

and...some granulated sugar.

Milk power and granulated sugar, okay.

Sorry, Aunt Liu.

My stomach is acting up.

Could I relieve myself inside?

You'd better find a toilet outside.

Aunt Liu, please, just a moment.

It won't take a long time.

Aunt Liu, please.

Master, Manager Cheng

is waiting for you outside.

Let him stay outside.

But he claimed you must see him.

How funny.

Do I have any excuse to see him?

Mr. Jin,

as your secret

has been found by me.

You dislike Mr. Huang

just for personal feelings.

You once

ran a private bank

named Sheng Xing Private Bank

which bought a land with high price

to build the Lu Jue Dance Hall.

But you were involved into

the property controversy of warlords.

Finally, you lost everything.

The private bank was closed consequently.

And this land

was once bid

by you and Mr. Huang.

You always thought

without the competition

from Longying Private Bank,

you wouldn't have overbid for that land

and suffered such a loss.

Therefore, you hold the grudge

and made a fuss about the Chinese directors.

Is that the so-called secret

discovered by you?

Of course not.

Your secret

is your wife.

Since giving birth to

your second son,

she unfortunately suffered from the mental disease.

So you

locked her

into a small house.

She is looked after

by the maid, Aunt Liu.

You do charity

for your wife,

but isolate her

from

the public.

Your two kids

never saw her.

For years,

you even haven't paid a visit to her.

If such a scandal were to spread,

what kind of public opinion would you face?

Put

your reputation aside,

it maybe impossible for your charity society

to raise any funds.

Unexpectedly,

you are no different from Leizi.

You are

such a cool fish only knowing threats.

Mr, Jin,

I am not

threatening you at all.

I spoke out

your inner fear

as

I can totally understand

such helpless misery.

What do you understand?

Your wife enjoyed dancing,

so you built the dance hall for her

with a large sum of money.

Even she is clouded in mind

and lives away from your residence,

you never

flirt with any woman.

You love her so much,

so what makes you live

such a fragmented

but contradictory life?

Because of your wife's insanity.

How does an insane woman

destroy herself

and hurt her loved ones?

I fully know that.

Mr. Jin,

may I suggest you

not to conceal

your wife's tragedy?

As it's not your fault.

But it may become your Achilles' heel

attacked by others.

Since you are going to

construct a sanatorium,

why not

telling the truth to the public

before its groundbreaking?

After then,

you have nothing to worry about.

Have a seat.

Why did you tell me these?

As I said,

I admire your kindness for charity.

So I really want to make friends with you.

Even if I still reject

Huang Ruhong being the Chinese director?

Mr. Jin,

some strangers...are here.

They...they ordered me

to call you.

Mr. Jin,

how about your talk

with Mr. Cheng?

Let's get to the point.

As long as you promise

not to fuss about the election

in the Municipal Council,

I can also

promise you

nothing will happen here.

Listen,

I will never agree with

Huang Ruhong's election.

If you were to stop me,

I would rather quit my position as the Chinese director.

Get away.

Get away.

Mr. Jin,

about this...

Manager Cheng,

you don't deserve

my trust just now.
