The Justice

Episode 20

Here comes the rising star of the Bund!

I want a copy.

Okay.

Thank you, sir.

Extra edition! Extra edition!

Here Comes the Rising Star of the Bund!

Rebang Bank makes its debut in the Bund

Former Manager Cheng Yizhi of Longying Private Bank founds Rebang bank

Rebang Bank Opens

Extra edition! Extra edition!

Newspapers!

Newspapers!

Here Comes the Rising Star of the Bund!

Master.

We got a clue about Rebang's capital source.

It's Madam...

who contributed her dowry.

Liao Lan just has 300,000.

Cheng Yizhi

must have other sponsors.

Yes, I'll dig it up further.

It doesn't matter who financed him.

During its early period,

‘fueling’ his bank

is the most important thing.

Got it.

Master,

the photo and manuscript

have been published

as per your request.

You've read the newspaper.

Where did you get the photo?

It's the group photo of

Cheng Yizhi and Zhou Wenquan

when Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory was set up.

Master.

You helped Cheng take the spotlight.

So the higher he goes,

the harder he drops. Right?

Rebang Bank makes its debut in the Bund

Former manager Cheng Yizhi of Longying Private Bank founds Rebang bank

Don't move. Nobody moves.

Don't move!

Bros,

seal this unauthorized

pharmaceutical factory.

No, you can't.

You can't do this.

We have production license.

We have!

Get out of the way!

Stop it！

Do as I said.

Calm down! Calm down!

Hello, sir!

I'm Zhou Wenquan, the factory director.

Why do you suddenly close my factory?

You make production

without license.

You deserve it!

No. No. No.

My factory has been registered.

Li,

get the production license.

OK.

No need.

Director Zhou, right?

It has been changed now. You know?

New license is required now.

Even so, you can't close my factory.

At worst,

I could get a new license.

Then go to get one.

Without a new license,

I'll close it down for sure.

Seal it.

Sir,

Stop it! Stop! Stop!

You want to get shot, don’t you？

Close it.

What should we do, Mr. Cheng?

We can only helplessly

watch them closing the factory.

But, but they have guns.

What I did is to

avoid conflict.

If anything happens,

the consequences would be unimaginable.

Mr. Zhou,

calm down!

You did the right thing.

Letting them close the factory

is a temporary expedient.

But time is running out.

I need you to submit

the payrolls, lease documents,

raw materials purchase list

and product orders

to Miss Wu for verification.

We now need to

get to know

the daily shutdown loss

and our acceptable

maximum

shutdown time.

OK, I'll do it right away.

Mr. Zhou,

about pacifying the workers,

I'll leave it to you.

At this very moment,

workers are prone to emotional fluctuation

and are even likely to

be poached by other factories.

I need you to try your best to

retain the backbone.

Can you do it?

Yes, I can.

But, but

what about the new production license?

Don't worry. I'll take care of it.

Shen Bao

Director Fang.

Mr. Cheng?

Come in!

Take a seat please!

I'm wrong.

You're general manager now.

Right?

Director Fang, I'm flattered.

No matter who I am,

I still count on you,

Director Fang.

Here is the thing.

We got

the production license

with your help.

But the law enforcement team

suddenly ran over and said

the license was not counted now.

Isn't this nonsense?

So I'd like to ask you

to help me replace the old license

with a new one.

I see.

Just call to tell me.

Why bother coming in person?

I dare not.

Here you are.

Thank you very much.

Director Fang,

why the effective date is

Approved by: Fang Jinsi Application date: March 5, 1927

three months later?

Date of issue: June 5, 1927

I can do nothing about it.

The license replacement

is in the charge of the registry's officer.

He only comes to Shanghai

once a quarter.

It can only be a date

three months later.

I see.

You helped us

expedite the license application

before.

Can you

do me a favor this time?

In the past,

you represented Mr. Huang.

So you didn't need to

pay a penny to get the license,

and I would do you a favor.

Now you're the boss.

Can it be

the same as before?

Right?

Well, what you mean is...

For your situation,

you need to pay 30,000.

Or I can't do it.

30,000.

Rebang bank

Good afternoon, sir.

Welcome to Rebang Bank.

What can I do for you?

I want to see

General manager Cheng Yizhi.

I'm sorry.

Mr. Cheng is busy.

You need to make an appointment.

What?

Can’t I see him without an appointment?

I'm afraid so. I'm sorry.

Sir, if it's convenient for you,

I can make an appointment for you now.

I'm not convenient.

I'm busy, too.

Cheng Yizhi.

Cheng Yizhi.

Sir.

We have our rules.

Sir,

follow me, please.

OK.

Please come in, sir.

May I have your name, sir?

Just call me Zheng.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Zheng.

I'm Wu Lizi, deputy general manager

of Rebang Bank.

Never saw

a beauty manager before.

General manager Cheng

is out of the office.

I've no idea

when he'll come back.

You might as well leave a message.

When he comes back,

I'll convey it to him immediately.

Forget the message.

I want to see him face to face.

After all, I'm here

for a family matter.

Family matter?

Don't you know

I'm his brother?

Are you general manager Cheng's brother?

Why?

You don't believe me, do you?

Mr. Zheng, please take a rest.

I'll make you a cup of tea.

Mr. Ai,

Is Mr. Cheng back?

I haven’t seen him.

Any sign of Mr. Cheng?

No, I haven’t seen him.

Mr. Cheng.

Miss Wu, what's up?

A Mr. Zheng came for you.

He's in my office.

Mr. Zheng?

OK.

Mr. Zheng.

General manager Cheng is back.

Long time no see, Cheng Yizhi.

Still remember me?

How dare you steal from me?

Beat him to death.

Come on.

Beat him! Come on!

Beat him! Beat him!

Mr. Cheng,

let me get some snacks?

No.

No need. Take your time.

Zheng,

let's go to my office

and have a talk.

Good.

Let's go.

Well done, Cheng Yizhi.

Good for you!

You're so rich now.

If I hadn't read the newspaper,

I wouldn't have known

you're now a banker,

General manager Cheng.

Mr. Zheng, what can I do for you?

Please!

Take it easy. Let's catch up a little bit.

I don't think we have

old times to talk about.

Are you still holding grudges?

I'm sure you don't come for nothing.

If you don't say it,

I won't wait anymore.

Within three days,

prepare 10,000

travel fee for me

and book me a ferry ticket

from Shanghai to Guangzhou.

I need it urgently.

You did come for money.

What?

Just do what I said,

or I won't be nice to you.

I'm afraid Mr. Zheng

is in trouble.

Let me guess.

You're so urgent.

Did you offend the gang?

Cheng Yizhi, save it.

I know your background.

You're here to blackmail me.

How could it be blackmail?

Let me read it to you.

Mr. Cheng Yizhi, a young banker,

was born in a distinguished family,

and made his fortune in Longying Private Bank.

He accumulated considerable wealth in a short time,

and founded Rebang Bank.

Mr. Cheng is extraordinary

and has close relations with scholars.

He's more likely to

get into the select society.

Enough!

Think about it.

If people know

the banker

Cheng Yizhi

is a bastard,

who conceals background

and deceives the public.

That time,

can Rebang Bank

keep operating?

I'll find a way

about the ticket.

But there's nothing I can do

about the 10,000 cash.

Can't you?

My hands are tied.

Even though I have some savings,

I've invested them in the bank

and can't take it out

from the bank.

Cheng Yizhi.

You have to think it clearly.

10,000 cash

and

Rebang Bank's reputation, which one is important?

Life daily.

Shanghai Express.

If you dare to play tricks,

I'll have to tell them

everything about you.

Rebang bank

Mr. Cheng.

Mr. Cheng.

What's up?

Mr. Zheng...

He was my neighbor.

He has been a madcap

since childhood.

He asked me to lend him some money.

How much does he want？

What does he do？

Some of unreliable business.

Don't bother.

By the way,

do you have any idea about

Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory?

If the whole line is shut down,

how long can we last?

25 days at most.

The deadline for four orders

is the 15th of next month.

If the factory can't recover production

by the end of the month,

we'll

have to refund the payment,

and pay the liquidated damages.

The loss should be 110,000.

No wonder Director Fang

asked for a bribe of 30,000.

What a good account!

If we don't agree,

Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory will be closed.

Mr. Cheng,

Director Zhou was caught.

What?

The law enforcement team came again.

They said our factory has engaged in

unauthorized production and sales

for more than three months.

They also said Director Zhou

violated laws.

Go and save him please!

I'm going to ask Director Fang for help.

OK.

See,

with sufficient service fees,

the procedure

can be gone through. Right?

Director Fang,

there's nothing wrong for you

to ask for the service fees.

But why bother

arresting Director Zhou Wenquan?

This makes

us very passive.

By whom?

Law enforcement team, of course

I'm sorry.

I can't help you this time.

Director Fang.

It's not up to me.

I have something to handle.

I'm going to have a meeting.

Sit for a while.

Take your seat!

Director Fang...

I…I don't want to go to court.

I'm not guilty.

I'm not guilty.

I can explain.

I can explain.

Director Zhou.

Ms. Wu, right?

Don't worry.

I'll find a way to get you out.

You only have one minute.

Where's Mr. Cheng?

He's trying to save you.

Longhu Pharmacy and Jiufutang

are willing not to withdraw their orders,

as long as we promise to surrender part of profits.

Miss Wu, I...

Can I get out?

They said,

as long as I went through the door...

I...

I produced medicine

- without authorization. - Director Zhou,

- I'll be killed. - Listen to me.

- I'll be killed. - Calm down.

It's just about

license replacement.

It has nothing to do with you.

You have to hold on.

This is the revenge of Longying Private Bank.

You can't break down.

Do you know?

But every midnight,

they make me to confess.

I...

What do you want

Director Zhou to confess every midnight?

Confess at midnight?

We're sleeping at midnight.

Director Zhou is a member of

the General Chamber of Commerce of Shanghai.

He's being held by you

with no reason.

If you dare

punish him privately

and threaten him by force,

the General Chamber of Commerce of Shanghai

will hold you accountable.

I'm really afraid of what you said.

Then report to your General Chamber.

Wait and see!

What are you doing?

Where are you taking him?

He can't go to court without a lawyer.

Miss Wu, help me.

Commissioner Feng.

General manager Cheng.

I'm sorry to disturb you today.

Please forgive me, Commissioner Feng.

In just a few months,

you and I have changed a lot.

Please.

How can I be

compared with you?

You are a member of

the National Supervisory Commission now.

And I am just

a manager of

a small bank.

General manager Cheng,

I get to say something.

You set up Rebang Bank.

But why didn't you tell me?

If only telling you,

it seems I'm too insincere.

If it doesn't help you,

my visit

will be of no value to you.

What do you mean?

I mean...

If you are interested in

joining the Ministry of Finance,

you'll sure get a say.

General manager Cheng,

you're here to give me a key, right?

It's far from a key.

But

The one who can

support Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory now

will take the lead in the future.

Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory?

The factory has outstanding performance

and is deeply loved by the people.

But its license application

is hindered by

someone with ulterior motives.

They not only closed the factory forcibly,

but also detained

Director Zhou Wenquan.

Commissioner Feng,

I'd like to tell you the purpose of

setting up Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory.

Domestic anti-tuberculosis drug.

With the strength of Director Zhou Wenquan,

domestic anti-tuberculosis drug will be invented

sooner or later.

And now he has made

significant progress.

Once the domestic drug comes out,

the whole country will know

that you contribute

most.

In other words,

this is

a great achievement.

Is the person with ulterior motives

you said

Mr. Huang?

I'm afraid it doesn't matter.

No, it matters.

If I help you,

I'll embarrass Mr. Huang.

Mr. Cheng.

No. No.

I should call you general manager Cheng now.

Why do you always forget

I'm your friend?

I should help you.

Open the door.

Get out of the way.

Let go.

Let go.

Miss Wu, are you alright?

It's all a misunderstanding.

My men are not sensible.

That's why there's such a big misunderstanding.

Don't take it personally.

You can't take him away.

He doesn't even have a lawyer.

How could he go to court?

This is all the more a misunderstanding.

He doesn't have to

go to court at all.

Hurry up

and untie Mr. Zhou.

Come on.

Come on, why are you so...?

Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Zhou.

I'm sorry for

what you've suffered these days.

It's all a misunderstanding.

Is it open?

Hurry up.

Get out of the way! Get out of the way!

Mr. Zhou.

Sorry for what you went through.

Come on, let me carry you.

By the way, Miss Wu,

will we drive

you and Mr. Zhou

to Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory

or Rebang Bank?

Rebang Bank.

Got it.

Mr. Zhou, let's go.

Let's go back now.

Move out of the way!

Let's go.

Mr. Cheng.

Mr. Cheng.

We've got the production license.

The workshop director has notified us

to resume production tomorrow.

Law enforcement Captain's temper

turns on a sixpence.

He was going to

take Director Zhou to court.

But suddenly Director Zhou was released.

Glad you're safe.

Every time, I count on you

to help me solve problems.

I…I'm so ashamed.

Is it Director Fang who helped us?

General manager's Office of Rebang Bank.

General manager Cheng,

three days are coming.

Do you get all my travel fees ready?

Please leave your phone number.

I'll call you back later.

It's inconvenient for you.

Then just listen to me.

At 9 o'clock tomorrow morning,

if you can't get me on the ferry,

I'll hold a banquet in Lanxiang Restaurant,

and bring together my friends from

Life Tabloid,

Shanghai Daily,

and Maritime Anecdotes.

I'll tell them

your story about

stealing my silver.

And after your mother died,

how did you...

I know.

I understand what you said.

That will be better.

It's Director Fang.

What's up?

What happened?

Nothing.

But he may also need

10,000 public relations fee.

10,000?

Yes.

No matter how much,

it's all because of my fault.

So this money

shall be chargeable to me.

I pay it back every month

until all is paid off.

No.

It's caused by my factory.

How can I make you pay it?

You've been suffered

for the pharmaceutical factory.

Director Zhou, it is my business.

Because

if I hadn't left

Longying Private Bank,

Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory wouldn't

be closed because of the license.

So my responsibility cannot be shirked.

I'm the factory director

so the greatest responsibility lies with me.

Director Zhou.

Enough.

You two can't reach an agreement.

Let me decide.

Each of you

wants to bear

the public relations fee.

But we set up Rebang Bank

just to unite individuals,

form organization,

and help everyone grow together.

So

the public relations fee

should be borne by Rebang Bank.

General manager Cheng will certainly agree.

Director Zhou, do you agree?

Yes, I agree.

Good boy.

Where's the cash?

Check?

It's easy to carry.

And in Guangzhou

you can cash it at Tongmao Bank.

It's the best choice

for you.

If I can't withdraw cash in Guangzhou,

I won't be nice to you.

Please.

I have bought the ticket for you.

First class.

Cheng Yizhi.

If I weren't in a hurry,

I wouldn't let you go so easily.

Come in, please

Mr. Cheng,

Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory's

shutdown loss

has been calculated.

It won't exceed 4,000.

By the way,

Director Zhou Wenquan

proposes shareholders to appoint you

as Rebang's deputy general manager.

Because of your proper response

and timely handling

during the shutdown period.

I don't want to be the deputy general manager.

I hope

Rebang Bank can

set up a credit investigation section

for personal and corporate’s

credit filing.

In the future, Rebang Bank could absorb capital

and grant loans

based on

credit investigation reports.

Of course,

this is just my personal hope.

Setting up the credit investigation section

will certainly

constrain

your authority

as general manager.

But for

the bank's future…

It doesn't matter

about my authority.

At the beginning of preparation,

Huang Ruhong used Mr. Zhai

and Xianyi Firm

to set a trap.

It's enough to show that

we have a loophole.

Behind the source and destination

of funds

may be countless sins.

Therefore,

Rebang Bank

is likely to absorb

unidentified funds

and even funds from persons with dubious motives.

Or unscrupulous merchants

and even lawbreakers

may defraud us of loans.

Credit investigation

is a bank reform measure

that your father and Professor Lu

had been talking about.

I saw it in their letters.

Because of the complicated process,

at present

no domestic bank

has adopted it.

I've been waiting.

Now you are so ambitious.

Then let's

be the first one

to do it.

Really?

I agree to set up the credit investigation section.

Master,

Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory

has got its license.

According to Leizi,

it's Feng Youru

who helped Cheng Yizhi personally.

It seems that Feng Youru

thinks highly of

Cheng Yizhi.

Master.

Feng Youru is a new in politics.

If he becomes Cheng Yizhi's

patron,

we'll not only waste all our previous efforts,

but also lose the initiative in the future.

How could Feng Youru

be bribed so easily?

Analyze Transaction

Charlie.

How did you see

I can be knowledgeable?

What's up?

You don't want to work

at Rebang Bank, do you?

I'm fine.

I'll set up credit investigation section.

Credit investigation section?

Can Cheng Yizhi agree?

He agreed with me

without hesitation.

He supports me.

I didn't say anything,

but he thinks better than I do.

So I thought about it.

Credit investigation is very important,

so the responsible staff must be

knowledgeable.

So I came to

consult you.

Speaking of this,

I want to introduce someone to you.

Let's go.

Who?

A gentleman,

he’s young and handsome.

Most of all, he's single.

Go dance with him.

Dance with him?

You're divorced.

You can dance with anyone.

I'm not going.

No?

Why?

I'm not interested.

Are you not interested or can't you let go?

Lizi, you're divorced.

Why not be free and easy?

Right?

The taboo for emotions

is entanglement.

In my opinion,

what you need most now is to

embrace a new life,

meet a new man,

and start a new relationship.

Only in this way,

can you really

let go of Cheng Yizhi.

Why do you say I can't let Cheng Yizhi go?

Then go to dance if you already let go.

Go or not?

Miss Lizi, you dance beautifully

with precise rhythm.

I'm very happy

to dance with you.

You dance well, too

I learned to dance

when I studied in London.

You should know

dancing is a necessary social style

for English people.

Not only noble people

but also common people can dance.

Of course.

They dance differently.

The noble prefers court dance.

Like composer Handel

has written a lot of court dance music.

Dou want to dance, too?

But I can't dance.

Why are you here if you can't?

Teach me.

Put your right hand on my waist.

Like this?

Raise your left hand.

Are you all right?

I'm sorry.

Sorry. It's okay.

Sorry.

This floor tile seems to be broken.

The floor is not even.

Sorry. Excuse me.

I don't want to dance today.

It's not over yet.

I promised Mr. Charlie

to do three dances with you.

Three dances.

Charlie,

why should I dance with him for three times?

What's up?

A cup of wine.

- What's wrong with you? - Sorry.

Be careful! Be careful!

Miss Lizi, be careful!

Don't call my name.

- OK. - Shh.

Dr. Xu and Wande Garden construction team

fought with each other.

Both were wounded and hospitalized.

I have something urgent.

Then I'll go first.

OK.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Charlie.

What the hell are you doing?

What am I doing?

I did nothing.

But you seem

to meet a ghost.

So scared?

I don't know what you're afraid of.

Didn't you say

you don't care about him?

What are you afraid of?

Are you afraid he would see you dance?

Let me tell you.

If I didn't force you,

you wouldn't admit

you still care about him. Right?

You're talking nonsense.

All right, I'm talking nonsense.

What did

Mr. Ai say just now?

I heard nothing.

Charlie, tell me.

Come closer.

Who's talking nonsense?

It's me.

Hurry up.

Nothing special.

Something like

Dr. Xu and Wande Garden construction team

fought together.

Both sides were injured and went to hospital.

Don't look.

Go to finish your dances quickly.

Why?

I paid the money.

It's disgusting.

Master,

try this fish ball soup.

I learned from Fengxian.

OK, I'll try it.

How is that?

It tastes good.

You like light and delicious food.

It's a pity that Liao Lan

can only make noodles.

You've been eating poor food for years.

Master.

I think

it's too hard for you to go back and forth

between Fuxiang Hall and the Residence.

If you agree,

I can move to the residence to serve you.

Do you want to live in my residence?

Master.

There is so much housework

to be taken care of.

I …

I just want to

help you.

Either guest room is

acceptable to me.

I just want to teach the cook

to make you something delicious.

Besides,

I'm also good at gardening.

About the homework,

you don't have to worry.

There's another thing

I need you to do.

What is it?

Find a girl like her.

The more alike the better.

Whether we can control

Commissioner Feng

is up to you.

Master, just wait and see.

Come on, let's have a toast.

Come on.

Quiet

Dr. Xu,

I'm here to visit you on behalf of Rebang.

Thank you.

I'm alright,

except a little dizzy.

I just told the nurse

to find me a brighter place

so that I can finish modifying the design drawings.

Look at me.

I thought I'm good at squash,

so I wouldn't lose the fight.

I didn't expect…

I know you.

You are not cruel,

so you couldn’t win the fight.

But you win in terms of magnanimity.

Quiet

Fighting is not your thing.

What did Foreman Tang do

that got you angry?

He wanted…

He wanted to change

my design drawings.

Why?

He said the construction was too difficult

and the cost was too high.

His men couldn't do it.

I was going to ask the contractor

and the construction team

to think over it.

I could go to the construction site every day

and help them solve the problem together.

But they insisted that

they couldn't do it.

I was not satisfied

and intended to quit them.

But he said

he could promise

if I quitted them,

Wande Garden

would become a ruin forever.

Dr. Xu,

calm down.

They also threatened me

that I couldn't find

another helper.

I'm really angry.

Calm down.

Don't worry.

I'll tell everything to

General manager Cheng.

He is good at communicating

and will properly solve it.

I assure you.

Take a good rest now.

OK?

It hurts.

Be gentle!

General manager Cheng,

Dr. Xu

really beat me up.

Sir,

I haven't stitched your wound.

Why are you crying?

It hurts!

It kills me.

It hurts!

Foreman Tang,

your fight with

Dr. Xu

has caused severe impact.

For this matter,

both of you are responsible.

But in terms of injury,

Dr. Xu is far more serious than you.

I have a pain…

I have a pain in back.

My face also aches.

Look at me. Wasn't I severely hurt?

Don't worry, Foreman Tang.

Considering your

hard work

for Wande Garden,

your medical expenses

will be beared by Rebang Bank.

General manager Cheng,

you are fair.

By the way, Foreman Tang.

When are you going back

to the construction site?

You need to go back in hurry.

How about taking a rest

for two days after recovery?

What do you say?

Are you kidding?

I'm fine. I'm going back now.

What a coincidence!

I'm going there, too.

Let's go together.

Please.

Wande Garden Construction Site

Construction Site: Workers Only

Let me do it.

OK.

Everyone, look carefully.

This is French style.

Think about it.

Got it

Have a try.

OK.

General manager Cheng,

give me a second.

General manager Cheng,

you can also build walls.

These days, I heard Dr. Xu

talking about French style.

I got it all.

But I wonder

why your construction team doesn't understand.

Foreman Tang,

did you

play dirty?

No.

How much did Mr. Lei pay you?

General manager Cheng.

Do you think I'm right?

Luo is right.

Everyone follows Luo.

Luo is right.

Teach others.

If you don't understand, just ask me.

Sir,

Luo is young and doesn't know how to work.

I think Luo does a good job.

You see, he is smart

and kind, too.

Tang, how about

sending some of your men

to work with

and learn from Luo?

Well…

So you won't be so overloaded.

- Right? - He is too young

to manage others.

Give it to me.

French style is not difficult.

French style is about

the overlapping of bricks

laid vertically

and horizontally.

This is French style.

Don't just stand there.

You all go to work.

Hurry up.

Mr. Cheng,

won't it delay your work

by coming here?

It won't.

We can't recover our principal

if Wande Garden is not completed.

I have to come here

and supervise the progress.

Why is it so slow?

No.

It won't be slow.

It won't be slow, will it?

Can this wall be completed by tomorrow night?

Sure.

Absolutely!

Everyone, let's hurry up.
