Why do you dislike

investment so much, Dr. Xu?

I don't care about

your silver certificates at all.

Since you think that,

good luck.

[Innovation Construction]

What an arrogant and ignorant young man!

Cheng Yizhi can't believe that

Lizi would establish a secret relationship

with Dr. Xu Shu.

He believes he's being paranoid,

unless...

Unless...

[Innovation Construction]

Lizi.

Yizhi.

I finally bought a dictionary about

the textile industry.

Ms. Lizi, can you

continue to translate for me?

You've already been

chosen by Shenqin Cotton Mill, right?

Yes.

Then why should I translate for you?

Because I've been chosen,

I have to learn more.

Now Jing'an Branch is in charge of

the financing program of Shenqin Cotton Mill.

We're definitely responsible

for its future development.

Mr. Cheng,

you're getting more and more extraordinary.

Well, let's start from here

where we stopped last time.

OK.

Sliver.

Sliver. I need to look it up in the dictionary.

Sliver.

Sliver means a strip of yarns.

A strip of yarns?

Yes, a strip of yarns.

I thought it meant debris before.

Sliver.

Drawing frame.

Drawing frame.

Drawing frame. Your pronunciation is right.

Drawing frame.

Am I a boring man?

Young men

all spend their lives enjoying themselves after they went back to our country.

Am I a boring man?

I disagree with you on what you said.

My previous schoolmates

all spent their summer vacations in Paris.

So what?

They're talkers rather than doers.

But they all

speak in English.

I can do nothing.

I even need you to translate this for me.

You're smart.

I believe you can learn a foreign language fast.

Well,

how to say "bing tiao ji" in English?

Drawing frame.

Look.

Let's go on.

Start from here.

Look it up in the dictionary.

Manager,

here's the quarterly inventory of Hengji Tea Shop.

Please have a check.

Where did you go this morning?

I went to Beidang Branch

and chatted with people there for a while.

Manager,

do you know the vast land

with an area of about 4,000 square meters on Rue Amiral Bayle?

Yes.

Master has owned it for many years.

Mr. Lei likes it.

He wants to take it away.

Based on his seniority,

it's not difficult for him to take it away.

He wants more than the ownership.

Before he gets it,

he has already made a fortune.

What happened?

Someone told me that

since he's powerful,

he created a fake contract.

He has already

swindled someone out of 300,000.

Now he wants 200,000 more.

How dare he do that?

Does he

want to humiliate the Eldest Master?

You know what?

That buyer is also an idiot.

He said he wanted to buy a land and build a building.

He can't even understand the contract.

He shouldn't buy a land.

He... He deserves that.

The idiot you mentioned is

Dr. Xu Shu of

Innovation Construction, right?

Yes. How could you know that?

Well, drive the car to the gate for me.

Come in, please.

Master, I'm sorry for waking you up at noon.

You came here now.

I believe you have something important to tell me.

Let me know.

Master, please

put me in charge of the land on Rue Amiral Bayle.

That land is vast

and it's in a crowded place of the French Concession.

It's priceless with a very good location.

Based on my seniority,

I know I'm not qualified.

But...

I do want to put you in charge of it.

I didn't ask you about the director's post

and you didn't tell me anything about it.

But I know

you worked hard for it.

How to manage the land on Rue Amiral Bayle?

It's up to you.

I won't let you down, master.

[Innovation Construction]

Dr. Xu,

as the representative of

Innovation Construction,

you signed this land contract,

right?

Why do you have it?

Because Liwei Realty

is swindling you.

Liwei Realty

is not a legitimate company.

And this contract

is not a legitimate contract.

Please do not give him

200,000 yuan more.

But what my lawyer said

is different.

Your lawyer

hasn't clearly investigated

the main part of the contract.

After you hand over all the

deposit,

Liwei Realty

will declare itself bankrupt.

You'll find that

No. 136 Land on Rue Amiral Bayle

doesn't belong to them.

Even if you chase them everywhere,

you can't get back

the deposit you handed over.

We're living in a peaceful time.

I don't think they dare

to commit fraud like that.

I've seen their title deed.

Do you really know what a title deed looks like?

This is the real

endorsement certificate for the title deed.

It's written clearly that

the No. 136 Land on Rue Amiral Bayle

belongs to Jing'an Branch of Longying Private Bank.

In other words,

only I can agree to sell this land

and sign a contract.

So you specially came here

to make fun of me?

Others

have already made fun of you.

I came here

to cooperate with you.

Since I've got the land

which you like,

we have every reason

to cooperate with each other.

Make your dream come...

I don't want to cooperate with you.

Do you want to

cooperate with Liwei Realty?

I'll call the police.

They've already

collaborated with the police station.

You can't win the lawsuit.

Then thank you for reminding me.

I paid 300,000

to buy a lesson.

There are so many lands in Shanghai.

I'll keep looking

until I find the land I want.

Are you rich?

Yes, you're rich.

At the age of ten,

you moved to the United Kingdom with your parents.

Your father is a famous antique dealer

of London.

And you're the youngest child of your family.

[Innovation]

When you were young, your parents spoiled you.

After you grew up, you became so arrogant.

You can spend your own money

to buy a land of the concession which is beyond

ordinary people's imaginations.

But do you know that

you behave in a prodigal way?

Anyway, it's easy for my father to

earn money.

Mr. Cheng, please go back.

My father will keep giving me money.

Your father is not as stupid as you.

Your father has told you that

the 300,000

is all the money for you to go back and start a business

in Shanghai.

Secretary Guan told me about that.

What Secretary Guan said is true, right?

Dr. Xu,

you've already lost all your money now.

Why are you still

pretending to be powerful?

I've got a long way to go before I achieve my ambition.

It's inevitable that I'll run into difficulties.

I can bear it.

Running into difficulties is not the key.

The key is, after running into difficulties,

you don't have money

or lands.

How can you achieve your ambition?

[Title Deed]

[Innovation]

[Innovation Construction]

Rickshaw!

I've bought a gift for you.

Ms. Judy.

Sit down.

Hi, here's your coffee.

Thank you.

Dr. Xu, your scarf is beautiful.

Someone

has the same scarf as mine,

but I don't have much to talk with him.

Well, Dr. Xu,

do you have much to talk with me?

To write news reports for

Harold Daily,

we need to talk with an interviewee in person

for three to five times at least

and seven to eight times at most.

If the person

who I talk with is you,

I'll be willing to talk

for ten times.

Then let's get started.

May I ask

when you were designing

the building of Jingying Middle School,

was your idea

affected by

Frank Lloyd Wright who's an

American architect?

[Heath Coffee]

I do consider his

concept as the spirit of the age.

Ms. Judy,

you know a lot about architecture.

I'm trying to know a lot about you.

Well,

I have another question for you.

Secretary Guan told me that

you wanted to build a

high-rise building in the Sino-Western architectural style.

And you're looking for a suitable land everywhere.

Yes.

Unfortunately,

the land purchase is not going well.

Actually,

I also think it's very weird.

Because as far as I know,

most architects

will cooperate with capitalists.

But Dr. Xu,

why do you always take action alone?

I did think about

what you said before.

A few years ago,

I tried cooperating with a for-profit organization.

It was a

famous bank in Shanghai.

But the process was very hard

and humiliating.

I even despaired.

I wanted to leave Shanghai

and go back to Italy.

How could something like that happen?

Which bank

made you feel so sad, Dr. Xu?

It has already passed. Let's stop talking about that.

So you

never mentioned this project

in your curriculum vitae.

This project has already ended.

And it's related to a

very serious accident.

We'd better not talk about it.

Master, welcome home.

Mrs. Wang.

Give your bag to me.

OK.

Because money-grubbers

are similar.

Since they're rich, they all think that

they can criticize others' ideas

which have been

thought over.

Sorry to let you down.

I don't care about

your silver certificates at all.

Yizhi,

why do you come home so early?

I get off work in advance for you.

For me?

Because

I want to take you to the Wharf Market.

Now?

The weather is comfortable now.

OK. Let's go now.

Go.

Let me help you.

Come here.

Look.

What do you think

of this telephone?

Look at it.

Do you like this candlestick?

It's not beautiful, is it?

Do you think there are so many things here?

Is it like the world's fair?

It's a little bit different from my imagination.

How are they different?

There are indeed so many things here,

but it looks

like

the department store which has been moved to another place.

And it's not very crowded

or as interesting as I think.

Well, let me take you there.

Your favorite French Toffee.

What do you want?

I'll buy you anything you want.

Three boxes first.

No.

They're very expensive.

Don't worry.

I can afford them.

What if I buy five or ten boxes for you?

No.

What's up? I'll buy them since you like them.

There are so many boxes.

After I see them,

I don't want any of them.

OK.

Sorry.

We don't want them now.

What stuffs are there?

All products there

didn't sell abroad, so now people are selling them domestically.

All of them are cheap local products,

like the Chinese herbal medicine

and the barley tea.

Let's go there.

Do you want to go there?

Are you sure?

There are no advanced foreign products.

Everything there is a local product.

That means everything there is cheap but good, right?

Let's go.

[Dock]

Are you really sure?

Do you want to have a bottle of soft drink?

No.

It's really

more interesting than the market of foreign products.

Do you really think it's interesting here?

What's this?

It's a Codonopsis pilosula.

Codonopsis pilosula?

What's this?

It's a female ginseng.

Look at it. Look at it.

Bashu Odd-flavor Broad Bean.

Would you like to have a taste?

Can I taste it?

We haven't paid.

Here

you can touch any stuff

and eat any food.

Come on. Try it.

It tastes awful, right?

You deliberately let me try it.

This. This.

Are you okay?

It's the Yunnan Rushan cheese.

Come on. Try it.

I'm not lying.

What do you think?

It's delicious.

We ate things but we didn't buy them.

It's OK. We don't have to buy them.

Really?

Try the dried chilli.

No.

How can you know everything?

It's just that you know few things.

It's not true.

Then tell me about what you know.

I know it.

What's this?

It's a perfume.

It's the Florida Water.

Florida Water is a perfume.

Yes.

Florida Water is also a kind of perfume.

Do you like it? Do you want it?

Sorry. Sorry.

I'm so sorry.

What's up?

He looks like a bad kid.

I didn't expect that he's so polite.

So polite?

If I were you,

I would check my bag.

What do you want? The two of them?

Pack the two of them up.

My money was stolen.

It's pretty normal.

This is just the first time for you.

My money

has been stolen for many times here.

What should I do?

Just give your money to them.

All of them are poor.

A silver coin

is enough for ten meals.

Your money which was stolen just now

is enough for them to have meat in every meal.

Let's go.

My... My ring was also stolen.

Was your ring stolen?

Take it.

I'll chase him now.

Thank you.

Yizhi!

What have you got?

Nothing.

Have you got nothing?

I said

I've got nothing.

Search him!

Hurry up!

Boss, there's a ring.

Great. You stole something expensive.

Give it back to me.

Give it back to you?

This kid

stole it from my wife.

Hurry up. Please give it back to me.

Come on.

The ring doesn't have a name on it.

Whoever takes it owns it.

I think you're gonna return it to me.

Or no good would come of it.

Do you understand

you're on my street?

Go away if you know what's good for you.

Or...

-Boss. -Boss.

-Boss. -Boss.

Beat him!

Yizhi.

Let's go.

Mind we borrow your bike?

I'll give it back tomorrow.

My bike!

Get up! Chase!

Let's go!

Bike! My bike!

Come back!

-Come back. -Hurry up!

Come back!

We ended things last time.

I'm partly at fault.

Since I wanna work with you,

I should

let you know more

about my willingness and thoughts.

I don't know

if you were suppressed by capital.

You are so antipathetic and sensitive

to silver certificates.

But

I'll never

judge your design

which took you much time.

Because...

because of your purpose.

I love the building too.

I want you to build it.

Manager Cheng.

Are you serious?

Yes.

But...

But?

I want no buts.

But if it's

good for you

and good for us,

why not listen to it?

Dr. Xu.

Every building

has its own

practical use.

Whether it's for shelter, for storm

or sightseeing,

it always serves a purpose.

Especially

when you pour much money in,

you have to consider

how to make your investment back.

Manager Cheng.

You couldn't resist

the bad habit of capitalism.

Obviously,

you care more about

how to make the investment back

and earn money,

not the building itself.

The reason why I told you

I don't know the use

of the building

is that I hope

it won't be used

by those canny men like you.

I don't want it to be profitable for any businessmen,

or to be taken over by foreign firms

for private use.

And I don't want it

to fade day by day

and become rotten

after I build it with efforts.

The shipment of Rejuvenating Powder

is not known yet.

We haven't found the shipper.

Keep looking for clues. Hurry up.

Master worried over it.

Yes, sir.

Say it.

Don't get mad at me when I say this.

Cheng Yizhi might

execute maneuvers.

Be frank! What happened?

The Elder Master gave Rue Amiral Bayle

to Cheng Yizhi.

Well, he didn't give it.

According to Mr. Tian,

the Elder Master designated Cheng to take over it.

Good job.

Cheng took food

off my plate, right?

Ms. Judy.

Let's go.

Wait a moment.

Thank you.

[Boya Piano Company]

I can't.

I need a score.

I can't play the piano without it.

[Boya Piano Company]

Cheng Yizhi doesn't know

if it's because he's a fool

or Lizi's so false.

How could she treat two guys

with the same smile,

shining, naughty and charming.

Which smile is genuine?

Dr. Xu.

The arduous project you mentioned before

is related to Shanghai Deposit Bank, right?

[Shanghai Deposit Bank]

Dr. Xu.

I know,

you don't want it

to be put in the papers.

So you don't wanna

tell me about it.

But you can rest assured

that I won't write it.

I just wanna know more

about your painful story.

I hope, I'm not

an unknown reporter.

I wanna

be your friend.

Dr. Xu.

You're talented

but you resist working with capitalists.

I think maybe it's

because you

don't trust anyone else.

But sometimes,

only when you face

your past blunders

can you open your heart

to embrace brighter future.

So can you tell me

what happened at that time?

At that time,

I came back to Shanghai from Italy.

Wu Zhifu, the general manager

of Shanghai Deposit Bank,

invited me

to the bidding

of an expansion of the bank.

But newspapers wrote about

Wu's bribery

and corruption.

I don't think he did those.

In terms of the housing market,

I have some questions for Mr. Cheng.

I heard the construction would begin

on the Rue Amiral Bayle.

Mr. Cheng?

Hey.

Long time no see. How are you doing?

Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Chen.

Mr. Fu.

Long time no see.

Sit down, please.

Hope I'm not interrupting.

I told Mr. Fu before,

our public offering

needs help badly.

If you

have anyone you think

might be suitable for our shareholders,

please introduce me to him.

I'll appreciate it.

Mr. Cheng. Let me introduce.

This is Zhou Guangxian,

the general manager of Shanghai Deposit Bank.

Nice to meet you.

Mr. Zhou.

This is

Cheng Yizhi of Longying Private Bank,

Mr. Cheng.

I heard

Mr. Cheng

married Lizi, right?

Good to meet you.

A pleasure.

But I didn't expect that.

When the construction began,

my nightmare started.

Was your nightmare

related to Mr. Huang?

Mr. Huang?

Huang Ruhong.

I don't know him.

I just knew,

my nightmare

was related to Shanghai Deposit Bank.

They bitterly opposed

my project.

They had money

so they asked me

to modify my design again and again.

A shareholder even smeared me.

He declared that I secured the bid

because I bribed

Wu Zhifu to do that.

That was a plot

against Mr. Wu.

It also insulted me.

Later,

I was kicked off.

The project

was taken over by that shareholder.

Do you know who he is?

I've never forgotten him.

His name is Zhou Guangxian.

Mr. Wu.

Please sign the document.

OK.

This is Lizi.

Lizi, say hello to Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Zhou.

Lizi has grown up

to be a beautiful girl.

Mr. Wu. Good for you.

How I envy you.

Lu, how do you do?

Lu seems to

have a problem with me.

You can feel pity

for Mr. Wu.

But we

who work in banks

have to move on.

Is that right?

There was something weird to Zhifu's suicide.

But you who took over the bank

didn't find out the truth

but was busy with public offering.

Mr. Lu, you're not a cop.

Neither am I.

Zhifu's case

is handled by the police.

Besides, this case

has thrown up uncertainty

over the bank.

Our shareholders rushed to sell shares.

If I don't calm things down

to save our bank,

will I live up to Zhifu's wish?

Why did those shareholders rush to sell shares?

Do you think about it?

It's because

justice hasn't been served.

They can't see a bright future.

They lack of confidence

in holding shares in your bank.

Mr. Wu's daughter

even got married

with Mr. Cheng.

Why don't we Shanghai Deposit Bank

find a new way out?

Mr. Cheng. Do you agree?

Dr. Xu.

After you said it out,

do you feel better?

Actually you know it,

your past experience

had nothing to do with

working with capitalists.

But you can't believe

there should be

such shameless people

and things.

Dr. Xu. Don't fear that.

You took the first step.

Then you're about to come out of this.

Maybe your next partner

shares the same ideas and interests.

You're right.

I shouldn't give up eating for choking.

Alright, that's all for my interview.

Dr. Xu, look forward to your works.

Ms. Judy.

I have a question...

If the executive editor

finishes the review quickly,

in a week

the report of you

will appear in the papers.

I'm not asking this...

You said that you treated me as a friend.

Although your interview ended,

may I invite you

to have dinner next weekends?

[Edssendine Bar]

Mr. Cheng.

You looked unhappy today.

[Edssendine Bar]

Do you

have any problems?

I was a little bit tired.

Thanks for asking.

Is it about Lizi?

Just as Mr. Zhou said,

there's something

none of your business.

Mr. Cheng.

As my wife missed Lizi so much,

she wanna invite you two

for dinner this weekend.

We'll appreciate it if you come.

OK. I'll tell Lizi about that.

Today Mrs. Wang

told Mrs. Zhang next door

that her fever went down

thanks to

your red bean paste.

Mrs. Zhang was jealous.

She said

if she was dying

her lord Mr. Dai

wouldn't serve her a cup of tea.

Except for bean paste,

what else can you cook?

Anything you can think of.

Really?

If so, can I order?

I'd like to eat many cuisines.

All eating and no cooking.

I dare not cook.

Who told my mom

that my food

seemed to be awful?

Yizhi, what happened?

Commander Liao was ill again.

After the surgery, his condition was unstable.

Ms. Lan accompanied him in the hospital.

Why didn't she tell me?

It's my fault.

These days,

I haven't

been with her.

I have to visit her.

I'll go to the hospital tomorrow.

Dr. Xu.

Good morning.

It was Secretary Guan who asked me to come here.

He couldn't see you lose

the greenfield site of No. 136 Rue Amiral Bayle.

And he couldn't see

your ambition become dull.

Mr. Cheng.

I thought I was

very up front with you.

Look at it, Dr. Xu.

You know you're

immersed in your ownership of it.

You don't even

want it to be practical.

But every building

has its own

practical use.

I know it.

No, you don't.

As you said,

you played hide and seek

in the garden as a child,

which stimulated your interest

in architecture.

You should know

that people need to feel

the joy and magic of architecture.

Don't sugarcoat

your real thoughts.

What you want me to do

is to build

an extravagant department store.

I'm not interested in that.

I don't want you

to build an extravagant department store

but to build

a building

for public use.

What do you mean?

Build a building with many shops

in which people

can do business,

and relax.

With the building, we can

offer abundant cheap

clothes, hats, shoes and socks,

as well as different food.

With it, we can offer

roller rinks and cinemas with discounted tickets,

and gardens and verandas

which are free to visit.

Children there

can play the seesaw

and look in distorting mirror.

Dr. Xu.

You told me

buildings are a king of beauty for you.

Is it good

for people to see,

to experience,

and to touch the beauty?

Are you serious?

Yes, I am.

I'm not born to be

a manager of a private bank.

I used to

do business in the market,

exposed to weather.

Enduring hot summers and cold winters,

I sold dry goods day after day

in those sweaty shops.

With less than ten yuan per month,

I was just a poor man.

At that time,

if someone had told me

I could do business

in a building like this,

I would have been very happy.

Dr. Xu.

I put the proposal on your table.

You'd better consider it carefully.

You're right.

Dwelling on Huang Ruhong

may mislead me

to a wrong way.

So I found

a new clue.

Then I had a new suspect.

Who?

Zhou Guangxian.

Zhou Guangxian?

Are you familiar?

He's your father's successor,

the current general manager of Shanghai Deposit Bank.

If there were a suspect,

he would be

more suspicious than Huang Ruhong.

About his buy-in, induction and subordinates

of the bank,

I want all files on him.

For a friend, one hundred yuan.

Since we are building for the ordinary folks,

I will design stores of four sizes. The large size, the medium size,

the small size and the extra small size.

Each floor has two large-sized stores,

three medium-sized stores,

eight small-sized stores,

and eight extra-small-sized stores.

I can make sure that

each store

has at least one window
