The Justice

Episode 24

Good evening, Mr. Charlie.

Let me introduce.

This is Mr. Carney,

an important figure of Municipal Council.

This is

Guan Xiuyue,

a famous Chinese opera performer.

She is my friend.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Mr. Carney was asking me

questions about the evolution of government debt.

But I'm not

an expert on this.

Mr. Charlie is

the security supervisor

of Rebang Bank.

The evolution of government debt is his specialty.

Charlie,

tell Mr. Carney about

the redemption of government debt

during the Northern Warlords Government period.

The situation of government debt during the Northern Warlords Government period

was very complicated.

It can be roughly divided into two stages.

Before and after

the bond regulation case.

Which stage would you

like to hear about?

See?

He is a true expert.

Not at all. I just know a little.

The amount of government debt

before 1921

was huge.

There were Paris military supplies bonds

and patriotic bonds issued

in 1912.

The 0.6% government debt in 1913,

domestic debt in 1914 and 1915 year,

0.6% government debt in 1916,

short-term debt in 1918,

and 0.6% government debt in 1918.

And...

Mr. Carney,

can you tell me

which bond you would

like to learn about?

Or

do you just want to know

the general situation of

the redemption of government debt?

Mr. Charlie.

You are a true expert.

Charlie,

tell Mr. Carney

the general situation.

The general situation was a disaster.

Mr. Carney, as a matter of fact,

not only Mr. Charlie is an expert of his field.

The lady next to him, Ms. Guan,

is a famous Beijing Opera performer.

She may be a female.

But she plays laosheng.

And her performance

is no worse than that of Mr. Yu.

Really?

Do you also perform

Dingjun Mountain?

Yes.

Next month at the Great Stage,

I will perform not only Dingjun Mountain,

but also The Eight Hammers and Qionglin Feast.

Mr. Carney.

If you and Mrs. Carney have time,

you can watch her performance.

It's been a lovely night.

Very nice to meet you, Mr. Carney.

Good night.

So, Ms. Guan,

did you have fun tonight?

Yes.

Thanks to you.

Thanks to Charlie.

Now you know

the security supervisor of Rebang Bank

is not a stock broker.

Okay, enough.

Come here.

Hey,

I finally know

why you married

Cheng Yizhi.

Mr. Cheng, thank you so much.

See you, Charlie.

See you.

Charlie was very happy tonight.

You gave him and Ms. Guan

the invitations, didn't you?

No wonder Charlie praised you

in front of me.

Praised me?

How did he praise me?

Let's watch a movie.

Watch a movie?

Now?

Let's watch Chaplin's new movie.

The Circus.

I've watched it.

I don't believe you.

I'm a fool

if I believe you one more time.

I've really watched it.

Why would I lie to you?

It's impossible.

The movie was released last week.

I know.

I watched it last week.

I don't believe you.

Okay, if you don't believe me,

let's make a bet.

What do you want to bet?

I haven't decided yet.

But we can save it for another time.

Do you want to bet?

Okay.

-Mr. Zhou! Is Mr. Zhou here? -You can't come in.

-It's an emergency. -No, you can't.

Please let me in.

You really can't.

It's urgent.

Sir, you are...

I'm the director of the Registry.

Mr. Zhou.

I apologize for

what happened with the production license.

Please forgive me.

I can't take

the consequence of your words.

You said

I took ten thousand yuan from you.

My career is at risk!

Mr. Fang,

you should take the blame for what you did.

You made your bed. So you must lie on it.

Mr. Zhou.

When did I ever took

any money from you?

I swear!

How can I dare to take your money?

Mr. Feng asked me

to look after you.

I...

I would never dare to

take your money!

You didn't take the money?

I swear!

I didn't take anything!

In this movie,

Chaplin still plays a tramp.

He accidentally joined a circus.

The audience loved him.

He fell in love

with the daughter

of the circus owner.

And then?

But the daughter of the circus owner

loved the man walking on wire

instead of him.

For the happiness of

the girl he loved,

he left alone.

You lost the bet.

You said

we would watch

all Chaplin's new movies together.

Yeah. But it was before.

Do you still want to watch it?

Of course.

Who knows

you weren't lying to me?

You really won't watch it?

I won't.

You can watch it

again.

Once is enough.

Starlight Theater

What do you want to watch?

The Circus, please.

It started three minutes ago.

Do you want to watch this one?

If you want to watch the next one,

you need to wait for an hour.

Never mind. I won't watch it.

Starlight Theater

Miss Lizi.

Dr. Xu.

Do you also come here to watch a movie?

I'm just passing by.

Do you know Chaplin's new movie,

The Circus?

We can watch it together.

I know it.

But I have watched it.

It was released last week.

Have you already watched it?

In this movie,

Chaplin still plays a tramp.

He accidentally joined a circus.

The audience loved him.

He fell in love

with the daughter

of the circus owner.

And then?

Then you should watch it yourself.

Okay, I should go home.

I'll walk with you.

No.

It's too much trouble. I don't want to waste your time.

No, you won't waste my time.

I would worry if you walked alone.

Let me walk with you.

Okay.

At this moment,

Cheng Yizhi feels that

he is just like Chaplin

in the movie

and should leave alone.

Is everything going well at Wande Garden?

Yeah.

Is something bothering you

so you want to watch a movie to

forget the trouble?

Did you quarrel with Tang again?

Miss Lizi

knows everything.

Tang has many weaknesses.

He is snobbish, greedy and lazy.

But everyone listens to him,

which means

he is a competent leader.

Mr. Cheng

can get along well with him

because he ignores his weaknesses and values his strengths.

Dr. Xu,

you should learn

from Mr. Cheng.

Yes.

Mr. Cheng is better at

dealing with people than me.

I'm bad at it.

Dr. Xu.

Don't

belittle yourself.

You are already perfect.

If you don't even

have one weakness,

other people

can just die.

Miss Lizi,

it seems that I should

protect my weakness.

Dr. Xu.

Please don't call me

Miss Lizi anymore.

What should I call you?

Ms. Wu.

Ms. Wu.

Good morning, everyone.

I have good news

for this meeting.

But I won't tell you myself.

Let's welcome Mr. Zhao

to share the good news.

I'm quite flattered.

First of all, I want to thank

Rebang Bank for providing me with money.

Shenqin Cotton Mill

opened the third and the fourth factories.

And with the help of everyone here,

and the joint efforts

of all my employees,

No. 16 cotton of my third factory

has officially become the standard cotton

for the Cotton Trade Fair next Monday.

Congratulations!

Congratulations, Mr. Zhao.

You scared us

when you got angry

last time.

I'm so sorry.

I'm a straightforward person.

I couldn't control myself.

I hope you could

forget what happened last time.

Please forget it.

Mr. Zhao.

I hope everyone could speak directly like you.

It's everyone's right

and obligation.

It shows that you are responsible to Rebang Bank.

Because you all are shareholders

of Rebang Bank.

Let's applause for ourselves.

I will quit as the shareholder of Rebang Bank.

Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory

will pay off

all the debts to Rebang Bank.

I will give up

all my stocks

of Rebang Bank.

Mr. Zhou.

Why do you make this decision?

Mr. Cheng, you are so smart.

You played me like a fool.

I wish I had made this decision sooner.

Mr. Zhou, what makes you say that?

You should ask him,

and see if he admits.

My uncle received a bad reputation

and died without any reason

because of you!

Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Cheng.

At the very beginning,

you came to me at Huhai University.

You said you admired my dream

and offered to help me open my factory.

I was thrilled

and appreciated you.

When my uncle asked me

to end the partnership with you

and work with Shanghai Deposit Bank,

I was so guilty.

I never thought that

it would lead to my uncle's death.

To keep my factory,

you attacked my uncle

and forced the Shanghai Deposit Bank to close.

After my uncle was killed

at the Smoking Regulating Department,

you expressed condolences.

You told me to

pull myself together.

Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Cheng.

You harmed my uncle.

You deceived me.

You are a hypocrite.

I'll never forgive you.

Zhou Wenquan.

Who told you that? That person is lying to you.

No one is lying to me,

except you!

You think

you can still deceive me now!

Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Cheng

is not that kind of person.

Are there

misunderstandings?

Misunderstandings?

Mr. Gao.

I used to trust Mr. Cheng

with all my heart,

just like you.

But, Mr. Cheng,

do you remember

the production license of Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory?

You told me that

to get the production license,

you gave Mr. Fang ten thousand yuan

as bribe.

You were lying!

The production license

of Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory

was approved by Mr. Feng.

Mr. Fang didn't dare to

receive anything.

Where did the ten thousand yuan go?

Only you know it!

Mr. Cheng.

You are an extraordinary liar.

Just tell

everyone here what you did.

Have you lied about the expenses

and embezzled public funds?

Mr. Cheng.

Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory called just now

and demanded

that we end the partnership right away.

They promised they would

return the 220,000 yuan

within one week.

It doesn't include the monthly interest of 2%.

They also demanded

that we return all the stocks of Mr. Zhou

within one week.

It's 120,000 yuan.

Okay.

What...

Mr. Cheng,

if Zhou Wenquan

secedes,

our stocks will decrease

by twenty percent.

I worry that it would

set off a chain reaction.

It's okay.

Reply to them

that we can finish within one week.

Okay.

Mr. Qian is right.

We are on a tight budget.

Our exchange business in Guangzhou is popular.

It will be difficult for us

if our stocks decrease.

Maybe Mr. Zhou was just acting

on the spur of the moment.

Maybe

I should talk to him

and give him an out.

You don't need to do that.

Mr. Zhou.

Rebang Bank agreed to

end the partnership

within one week.

Do we have other choices?

If we end the partnership with Rebang Bank,

we will

be short of money.

How much will we need?

Sixty thousand for raw materials.

Twenty thousand for the salary.

Twenty thousand for other stuff.

It's one hundred thousand in total.

Mr. Zhou.

Maybe we should put it off

until we have enough money.

We can't put it off.

But if we don't

have new investors,

our factory could only survive

for two months.

Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Zhou!

Mr. Zhou is lucky to

have you by his side.

I just told him the truth.

Despicable people

like Wu Lizi and Cheng Yizhi

could never use Wenquan again.

But without the money from Rebang Bank,

Mr. Zhou

must be very stressed right now.

Can you tell him

that as a former partner,

Longying Private Bank

is more than happy

to help him

at a time like this.

You?

Although the factory looks profitable,

Wenquan has his ideal.

Can you understand his ideal?

Who helped Mr. Zhou set up

the factory at the first place?

It was not Cheng Yizhi.

It was Longying Private Bank.

As the director of General Chamber of Commerce,

Mr. Huang supports industry and appreciates talents.

If he doesn't understand Mr. Zhou,

no one will.

Miss Ning.

I should go now.

Okay.

Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory

has completely seceded from Rebang Bank.

But I think

you still want to know

its recent moves.

Did Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory

find new investors?

Mr. Zhou talked with four banks and one private bank,

including famous institutions

such as Shixin Bank

and Tongtai Private Bank.

But

no one wanted to invest in it.

I asked Credit Investigation Section

to investigate the surroundings of Zhou Wenquan.

We need to know

the origin of the rumor.

We don't need to investigate.

It's Ning.

Ning?

The person

who slapped me?

She is Zhou Wenquan's fiancé.

She is also a friend of Leizi.

Is Huang Ruhong

still coveting Zhou Wenquan?

I'd like to be alone now.

They are all shortsighted.

They only want the profit.

They refuse to invest as soon as

they know I want to do research.

Maybe we should work with Longying Private Bank.

Longying Private Bank?

They told me that

they would invest in you.

They will provide you with 120,000 yuan.

And they totally

support

your research.

They won't meddle in

the affairs of the factory.

What about the interest?

The monthly interest is 2%,

the same as that of the Rebang Bank.

I don't understand.

Why are they so enthusiastic?

Haven't you heard?

Enemy's enemy is a friend.

Cheng Yizhi left Longying Private Bank

to set up Rebang Bank.

Mr. Huang must hold grudges against him.

You fell out with Cheng Yizhi.

Of course Mr. Huang would

see you as a friend.

In my opinion,

we can let them fight,

so the benefit is ours.

If we get the investment sooner,

we will be relieved sooner.

Mr. Qian,

Mr. Gao Dayong

added 40,000 yuan.

Remember to write a receipt.

Ms. Liao

also added 20,000 yuan.

These two shareholders

are life savers.

I'll put it on the account later.

Mr. Qian,

there is something wrong.

Where did

the 10,000 yuan come from?

Let me have a look.

It's from

Mr. Cheng.

When did he put the 10,000 yuan in here?

It's been more than one year.

Mr. Cheng

basically

put all of his bonuses in here.

I see.

Go back to work.

Okay.

Li,

could you give the record

from No. 4768 check

to No. 4774 check.

Mr. Cheng.

No. 4768 check

has been cashed on the 11th

in Guangzhou Tongmao Bank.

The other checks haven't been cashed yet.

Okay. Thank you, Li.

Li.

Please show me the record

from No. 4768 check

to No. 4774 check.

Okay.

What? Is something wrong?

No no no.

Mr. Cheng asked me

for the same thing just now.

It's such a coincidence.

It's not a coincidence.

It's because we are in tune.

I'm saving the trouble.

I don't need to ask him

if I check it myself.

I found it.

Ms. Wu, here.

Guangzhou Tongmao Bank, Zheng Shanfeng

No. 4768 check

has just been cashed this month.

Here is the time.

It was cashed

in Guangzhou Tongmao Bank.

My last name is Zheng.

You may not know

that I'm his older brother.

Zheng Shanfeng

Mr. Zheng...

He is the kid of an old neighbor.

He's always been unrestrained.

He is still the same as before.

He begged me to loan him money.

Master.

Ning told Zhou Wenquan

our terms.

But Zhou Wenquan

is still hesitating.

He hasn't decided to accept our investment.

He said that it's an important matter

and he needs to think about it.

Don't push him.

Let's wait until his factory shuts down

and his money runs out.

I want to see

how long he can wait.

Yeah.

And Ning is on our side.

It's just a matter of time

that Zhou Wenquan accepts our offer.

Master.

I heard a rumor.

It's very shocking.

What is it?

Cheng Yizhi and Wu Lizi

got divorced.

They didn't announce their divorce.

And they still work together.

Rumor has it that

they have been divorced for a while.

Mr. Cheng.

Mr. Wan.

We haven't seen you

since you opened Rebang Bank.

Are you here today

to catch up

with us

or to show off

your strength

in front of us?

I'm here to catch up with old friends

and show off my strength in front of my enemies.

Mr. Wan.

You are not one of my old friends.

Mr. Song.

May I have a word with you?

Mr. Song.

I heard that

you rejected

Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory.

More than half of the profit

of Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory

went to the laboratory.

You were spoiling him.

All that money

was thrown into the laboratory

without any scientific achievements.

Mr. Song.

I know

you are an expert at investing.

But

you may not know

that Mr. Zhou has a business-savvy.

And he is very

responsible.

He seldom sustains losses in business.

Even though he spent huge amount of money

on the laboratory,

he never lost any money.

Besides,

once the medicine

is successfully made,

you can't imagine the profit.

No one knows

when he will successfully develop the medicine.

I don't like uncertainty.

Mr. Cheng.

Mr. Cheng.

Can we talk?

Mr. Liang.

Didn't Mr. Wang

come with you?

Mr. Wang is relaxing

at Shixin Bank.

He doesn't come here often.

I'm not like him.

Sanxin Bank

is about to restructure.

If I don't perform well,

I may lose my position

as general manager.

I get it.

Are you interested in investing in

Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory?

Mr. Cheng.

Please come to Sanxin Bank

when you have time.

We can discuss the details then.

Okay.

Bell.

Mrs. Cheng.

So many customers!

It's lively.

What brings you here?

Make yourself at home.

Zhang, bring two glasses of water.

Okay.

Don't call me Mrs. Cheng

any more.

Yizhi wouldn't like that.

He wouldn't like that? Why?

Bell, here is the water.

Thanks.

Thanks.

He is upset

recently.

A very good friend of ours

seceded from Rebang Bank.

He is mad at Yizhi.

Things are ugly.

It's rare news.

Yizhi had never

turned against anyone.

I don't understand it, either.

So now

I want to cheer him up.

But no matter how hard I thought,

I couldn't think of

any way that could cheer him up.

Now that I think about it,

it's because

I don't know him enough.

Bell.

It's 6 o'clock.

You must come.

Okay.

You can go first.

Are you going somewhere?

It's okay. They can go before me.

We can continue our talk.

Actually,

it's not

that big of a deal.

You can go now.

I just want to

talk to you about Yizhi.

He doesn't

like to

express himself.

What he did when he was a kid,

what he likes to do,

and when he

came to Shanghai from Suzhou.

I don't know any of that.

Lizi,

why do you want to know that?

Are you trying to get back together with Yizhi?

What are you talking about?

Lizi.

What do you want to know?

You can ask me.

I'll tell you everything I know.

Girl,

why does everything sound different

when you say it?

Let me tell you.

You'll regret

if you divorce Yizhi.

Yizhi

is one of the best guys

in the whole world.

When he was selling dried food

in Sima Road,

he never talked with girls

or went to the whorehouse.

Whenever he bought any food,

he would share with us.

He came from a poor family.

They didn't even have enough money for food.

Luckily there was a

flour mill nearby.

Every afternoon,

he would watch them making steamed buns.

Sometimes the owner would give him half a bun,

and he could eat all day.

Bell, it's 6:15.

Okay.

Lizi, I have to go now.

Okay.

We can chat next time.

Okay.

Please think about

what I just said.

Let's walk together.

Okay.

Mr. Cheng, I believe you've been in good health since we last met.

You are still fit and healthy too.

Do you still remember

which part of the day I like best?

Now.

Do you remember why?

The light is about to walk off,

leaving the last bit of golden red.

The night is about to come.

Everything could happen.

Comparing with dark night,

I prefer the light.

You prefer the light?

You are a black cat,

rolling in the mud,

searching for food in the trash,

your eyes glowing in the dark.

Only in the dark

can you be free

and prosperous.

But you wish to

see the morning light.

Of course it's more difficult for a cat to transform.

You transformed

without making any sound.

I only need to give up dirty money.

But you need to cut off

your black paws.

If you want to tell people my background

and expose my past,

just do it.

Such a despicable thing.

I think I'll leave it to your old neighbor.

Has someone already

talked to you about it?

If it makes you happier,

you can do it.

You can be mad at me

for choosing my own way.

But don't get other people involved.

I won't give up

Zhou Wenquan to you.

Bye.

I heard you and Wu Lizi got divorced.

No matter how you loved

and protected her,

you could

only end up

with a failed marriage.

Cheng Yizhi.

Think about how you

treated Zhou Wenquan

and how he

treated you.

Don't think that the world

would accept you easily.

Will they trust you,

cherish you and inspire you like I did?

You may as well

wait and see.

Cheng Yizhi knows that

instead of destroying him completely,

Huang Ruhong prefers to

block his way to the light with darkness.

He must not give up.

No matter how hard it is,

he won't turn back.

Excuse me.

Hello, sir.

Would you please hide this in dessert?

Once you see me twisting the cloths,

serve the dessert.

Okay?

I know. Good luck.

Thank you.

Sorry I'm late.

Have you been waiting for a long time?

No.

I just ordered.

Was it busy

at the shop?

My sister-in-law came to the shop to chat with me.

She said she doesn't know my brother enough.

Actually,

I feel that

I don't know much about you, either.

What was your childhood like?

How is your relation with your parents?

When did you come to Shanghai?

I didn't ask you. So you never told me.

I've known you for a while.

But I only know your name is Ki.

I don't even know your last name.

Okay.

I'll tell you everything about me today.

Okay?

Okay.

Oh, you want to tell me something.

No wonder you chose such a nice restaurant.

Cheers.

Let’s sit here.

Why do Japanese

eat here too?

It seems that

your dislike toward Japanese is growing.

I don't dislike them.

I hate them.

Look at what they did

to Shandong and the northeast China.

They are awful.

Forget about that.

Let's talk about you.

Where did you grow up?

My story is complicated.

We should leave it for next time.

You are right.

We shouldn't waste such nice food.

We should enjoy the meal

and the soup.

Let's eat.

Sir.

When would you like me

to serve the dessert?

Sorry. Please cancel it.

I see.

Don't be sad.

What did he say?

He said...

He asked if we would like to order more.

I said we are good.

Ki.

What would you like to eat

for the weekend picnic?

I'll cook.

I forgot to tell you.

I have to go to Nanjing this weekend.

I can't go to the picnic.

I'm sorry.

Really?

Did I

say something

that made you uncomfortable?

No. No.

Here is my home.

It's getting cold. Go home.

Mr. Wind.

If you don't want to

be my friend anymore,

you can just tell me.

You don't tell me

about your family

and your childhood.

I know

you must come from a rich family.

Your parents must be very successful.

You don't want to tell me

maybe because you're afraid you would shock me.

Or maybe

because you don't want to be too close to me.

No.

It's not because of that.

It's really not.

Then why don't you tell me about you?

It's late.

Go home.

Let's talk next time.

Suzhou

Sir, a box of Garrick, please.

Okay!

You have a good taste.

Is there

an old flour mill nearby?

I have no idea.

I just came here last year.

Okay, thanks.

Not at all. Have a good day!

Yan's Rice Shop

Sir, how are you?

Miss, would you like some rice?

Your rice shop

must have a long history.

It's almost thirty years.

Really?

I found the right place.

Sir, actually

I'm here to

ask you about a person.

Who?

Here is his photo.

Do you remember him?

He used to live here.

I don't remember him.

I just know

there are lots of kids

in Zhusun Alley.

They are basically the same age.

They play in the street every day.

It's so lively.

Maybe you could

ask around there.

Okay, thank you so much.

I know you care about

Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory.

I'll

cut to the chase.

Mr. Liang, please.

Mr. Wang told me

the general situation

of Wenquan Pharmaceutical Factory.

Its business is flourishing.

But more than half of its profit

is devoted to medicine development.

And no medicine has been

successfully developed yet.

I still can't make up my mind

to invest in this factory.

Of course.

For your sake...

Mr. Liang,

I'm quite flattered.

If you need anything,

just tell me.

Okay.

Sanxin Bank is preparing

two things lately.

The first thing

is the election of the general manager.

The second thing

is the construction of the new office building.

After all these years,

it's time that Sanxin Bank

had a pretty office building.

So everyone in the bank

attaches great importance to

the construction

of the new building.

It may also decide

who can win

the general manager election.

You are

a friend of Dr. Xu

of Innovation Construction.

Dr. Xu

is also one of the shareholders

of Rebang Bank.

Could you please

introduce Dr. Xu to me?

I hope he could

design the new office building

for Sanxin Bank.
