You did this all by yourself?

I was only given two days,

so there are still a lot of places
that could be improved.

I can do better.

I told you that as long as you
pass your probation,

you can choose to go to any department you want.

Tell me.

Where do you want to go?

I want to work in the Financial Department
as an accountant.

I always thought

that the person who could
qualify to be my assistant

would be honored to stay in the CEO's Office.

But it turns out all she wanted
to be was an accountant.

Abby,

are you doing this to me on purpose?

Actually, I applied to be an accountant.

It's what I do best.

I wanted to do what I'm good at...

All right. I understand.

I'll think about it.

It's a private letter

arrived today.

Leave it there.

I'll take my leave now.

Episode 17

Overstep

Our Times

Precision, Smelting

Why aren't they here yet?

They are not going
to make us wait another day, are they?

Safety, development

Don't be anxious. Let's wait a bit longer.

Who is from Huayan?

Strengthen safety, promote safe development

You guys are from Huayan?

Yes, we are.

Who are you?

It doesn't matter who I am.

What's going on with your Conpo Computers, huh?

We spent so much money on it,

and now it's broken.

Please calm down.

We came to fix it.

Could you please tell us

what went wrong with the machine?

We just use the machines.

We're not technicians.

How would I know what went wrong?

Our work schedule

was almost delayed because of you guys.

How are you guys going to pay us
if we suffer any losses?

What's going on?

If there's a problem, try to talk it through.
Why are you arguing?

Director Yu.

Director Yu.

Thanks for coming. You've had a long trip.

We came to take a look at the broken machines.

Please have your operator

show us how the machines were used.

As long as it is within the protocol,

Conpo will be able
to provide after-sales service as needed.

All right. Go and check them out first.

After you're done,
I'll host a reception to welcome you.

All right?

Come on.

These ones. All of them are broken.

This way, Sir.

Where is Director Yu?

Oh,

Director Yu is still occupied.

So he asked me to come in his place.

If there is anything,

you can just tell me instead.

Please. Have a seat.

Please.

Please.

May I ask what your name is?

My surname is Yang.

Secretary Yang, let me give you a toast.

Let's leave the toast aside for now.

I came to talk about serious business.

You've seen the machines.

Now, how do you plan to fix them?

Secretary Yang,

the operator at the factory

showed us how the machines were used.

And we found that he didn't follow

the precautions he was given during the training.

So there are cases of improper operation.

I checked the system log as well.

And we can confirm that the equipment damage

was caused by an overload.

Let's not bother with details.

Just tell me if it can be fixed.

Yes. Only some parts were damaged.

So you only need to replace the parts.

However, the damage was caused

by improper operation.

It is not covered by our after-sales warranty.

Baosong will need to pay
for the fees to purchase the parts.

How much will it cost

to purchase the parts then?

Around half a million.

How much?

Are you trying to scam us?

Secretary Yang, these parts need to be imported.

We can't get any of them

domestically.

The cost of these accessories

are clearly labeled.

We can fax you the list.

Don't try to give me that.

We bought the machines from you lot.

They are still under warranty.

Does it make sense for you not to fix them?

Secretary Yang, we made it clear earlier.

Your employees' improper operation

caused the equipment damages.

These are the terms set by Conpo.

We can't do anything about it either.

Conpo this. Conpo that.

Do you know what you would be labeled

as before the founding of the nation? Compradors.

Traitors

who help foreigners con the Chinese.

What did you say?

I won't waste my time with you any longer.

If you don't solve this problem,

you can forget about the deal for phase two.

We're not interested in working

with deceitful extorters.

That's all.

Excuse me.

Director Tan,

their attitude is firm.

So we had no choice but to ask you.

Can you try fighting for it again?

Director Tan,

you didn't see their faces.

Not only did they not want to pay a single cent,

but they're also threatening us
with the phase two deal.

I understand.

But you must remain calm in a situation like this.

No matter what,

Baosong is a big enterprise.

They can't be that unreasonable, right?

Try to do your best

to negotiate with them.

I'll try to think of something from my end too.

phase two project

is extremely important to us.

We mustn't break the deal with them

unless absolutely necessary.

All right. We understand.

That bastard Yu

sent that secretary of his over
to make things difficult for us on purpose.

He is downright cunning!

Director Tan has said

that we can't afford to lose this client

unless absolutely necessary.

They are clearly out to scam us.

That's obviously
what that secretary meant, right?

They don't want to pay
for the damages they caused.

They want us to fix them for free.

Dream on!

Senior, please calm down.

They might do worse.

If we don't fix them,

they'll pin the blame on us

and use the opportunity
to change all of their equipment.

Either way, they won't be spending

any of their own money.

That bastard has a good plan indeed.

I absolutely cannot let him get his way.

If it comes to that, we'll tell everyone

that it was their own improper operation

that caused the equipment damage.

It has nothing to do with us.

But we don't have any proof.

Besides,

Baosong is our largest client in the Northeast.

If we do break the deal,

our losses will far outweigh theirs.

If it comes to that,

what do you think
the other clients will think of us?

So you're saying that we can do nothing

but suffer in silence right now?

Fine.

I'm not going to deal with this anymore.

Where are you going?

Back to Beijing to see Xie Hang.

I'm sure I can find

other clients besides Baosong.

Xiao Chuang, do you think getting emotional
is going to solve the problem?

No, well, we analyzed everything, didn't we?

Is there still a way to solve this?

Of course!

First of all, neither you nor I
can bear the consequences

of losing this client.

Secondly,

your reputation you worked so hard

to build in the Northeast region

will be ruined.

Thirdly,

regardless of Director Yu's character,

Baosong is the backbone of the nation.

We have a responsibility
to solve the resource problem for the country.

Yes, you are so great and selfless.

Junior,

you're fueling the flames of the bad guys right now.

They are clearly trying to cheat us.

We can't let them get their way!

Xiao Chuang.

There is something I've meant to say,

and I have to say it today.

Ever since...

Ever since you started dating Xie Hang,

you've been getting more and more impatient

and impetuous.

No, I... We're talking about this thing.

Why did you bring Xie Hang up?

That's not right of you.

Yes.

It was my fault.

He has a worse temper than I do.

Being connected makes dreams possible

Who let you in here? Get out!

Sorry... Sorry.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm just worried about you.

Is there anything I can do to help you?

Help me? No one can help me!

Interflow

At least I can drink with you.

No matter if you want to vent
or someone to listen,

it's better to have someone with you.

Is there something wrong with you?

Shouldn't you hate me?

Why do you say that?

Because everyone hates me.

Everyone.

My friends.

My competitors.

My enemies.

And my lover.

My ex-husband

is getting remarried.

I...

I'm sorry.

I didn't know.

Haven't you ever wondered

why I stopped you in the car

during your first day of the interview

and had you buy coffee for me?

Haven't you ever wondered

why I always had you help me

arrange for a doctor's appointment?

It's because

I have bipolar disorder.

No one can stand me.

No one can.

Is that why

you and your ex-husband separated?

I wish that was the reason.

At least then, I could torture him.

At least, I could torture him

with my bipolar disorder.

It's better than to let him leave me

and me developing bipolar disorder
because of it and torturing myself!

Do you hear this song?

This was the song he played for me

when we first met.

How ironic.

He is going to marry someone else tomorrow.

Yet, here I am,

reminiscing.

You wanted to help me, right?

Do you want to help me?

Of course.

Then send a disgusting gift

to his address.

That'll be my wedding gift to him.

The guy who was with me.

Did you see where he went?

I saw him go out.

But I don't know where he went.

Thanks.

Push

What are you doing here?

Entrance

Trying to come up
with solutions to fix the machines.

See how we can minimize

the cost of the parts.

Did you come up with anything?

Nothing satisfactory.

The only way to maximize

cost savings would be

to give up purchasing new parts

and use second-hand parts instead.

Junior.

That's meddling in way more than we need to do.

Even if you have to do this,

we can't use this method.

Why?

We are Conpo's salesmen.

We represent Conpo's interests.

We signed a contract the day

we decided to become salesmen.

This is a matter of professional conduct.

If you used second-hand parts

instead of new ones,

you'll save Baosong money,

but what about Conpo?

What about Conpo's interests?

I know that.

Senior,

do you know why I chose to stay at Huayan?

Because both of us

solved Baosong's
phase one equipment problem together,

and avoided the loss of state assets.

At that moment,

for the first time ever,

I found meaning in life.

This time,

we could have repaired everything
with a small sum of money,

but I couldn't bear to let them spend that money

to buy new parts.

Do you remember what that Secretary Yang

said about us?

Compradors.

I have to prove to them

that we are not that kind of people.

Junior,

you can't let that bastard's words get to you.

Entrance

I'll be frank with you.

Are you going to help or not?

If you aren't,

I'll think of a solution myself.

Of course, I'll help. How could I not?

Let's think.

There is one last way.

Let's give Lu a call.

See if he has any ideas.

Criminal

Hello?

Hello, Lu?

It's me, Xiao Chuang.

I need a favor.

Oh, it's you, Xiao Chuang. How can I help you?

Do you sell used parts for Conpo's mainframes?

Conpo?

I don't think so.

Then can you get some?

Second-hand parts that have quality guarantees

and pass professional inspection will do.

Or if you can't, other brands will do too.

There is an overseas company called Daoan

which specializes in accessories for mainframes.

Give me a list

of the things you need.

I'll check and get back to you.

Look, Lu,

Pei Qing Hua and I
are in a bit of trouble right now.

We need a minimum offer to negotiate with them.

Could you try to get us the lowest price?

And not take any commission?

No, I... That would mean
I would get nothing from all of this.

Sorry.

How about this? I promise
I'll find a chance to get that money

back for you.

I'm a man of my words.

But you...

Fine.

Fine. All right.

It can't be helped.
You are my brothers, after all.

Thanks.

How was it?

Done. Lu agreed to help.

Thank you, Senior.

Don't call me that.

You aren't my junior.

You're the boss.

Second-hand?

Yes. Many customers abroad

are used to renting mainframes.

Once a company releases new equipment,

they'll rent new ones instead.

Then, the company will sell the used equipment

to this company.

So while they may be second-hand parts,

they are still quite new.

Used parts are used parts.

What if something went wrong with the parts

and we have to stop manufacturing again?

You can rest assured about that.

Brands are sure to test

and certify products before reselling.

And we are not replacing
any main components this time.

So you have nothing to worry about.

Director Yu,

the other party is charging only
a hundred thousand yuan.

It's only one-fifth the cost of new accessories.

And Huayan is not making a single cent

off the price difference.

If you aren't certain,
you can ask around yourself,

and find someone to fix them.

It won't cost you much.

This is not a matter of money.

It's your responsibility

to fix things that are still under warranty.

Why should we pay for the costs?

If we are going to talk about responsibilities,

I think

there's no need for us
to continue this conversation.

Director Yu, we have done the best we can

on this matter.

If you aren't satisfied with the solution,

I'm afraid there's nothing else we can do.

Why the hurry?

I didn't say no.

The sooner we can fix them,

the sooner the workshops can resume work.

If you can fix the machines as soon as possible,

the order for phase two will still be yours.

Secretary Yang,

make the arrangements.

Lydia, you asked for me?

I told you to send him a disgusting gift.

What did you send him?

I sent him a music box

that plays Debussy's "Claire de Lune".

I knew it.

You did things on your own again.

I just think that the past is in the past.

It holds no meaning.

Oftentimes, it's because
people can't let go of the past

that gives it weight.

It's like a shackle on your back.

You'll never be free from it.

Lydia,

I haven't known you for long.

But I think

you shouldn't be locked in the past.

He wrote me a letter.

He thanked me.

And said a bunch of nonsense like you did.

As my assistant,

you always act on your own.

Have you never thought about the consequences?

You can punish me however you like.

I'll accept any punishment.

All right.

You don't have to come to my office anymore.

You wanted to go
to the Financial Department, didn't you?

Report to the Financial Department next week.

Thank you.

I'm the one who should thank you.

Please save water, please maintain cleanliness

Instant noodles, beer, and drinks.

Excuse me.

Braised beef noodles

What would you like?

A can of beer.

All right.

Mister, could you put your leg down, please?

Here you go.

To think that we would spend

more than 10 days in the Northeast.

Those engineers Baosong got

work too slowly.

If it had been our Technician Pei,

we would have fixed it in no time
and gone back to Beijing by now.

People are good at different fields.

They are mainframes.

Do you think I know everything?

Either way, I never want
to come back to Baosong ever again.

Newspapers, magazines, and instant noodles.

Ma'am, do you have a sports newspaper?

Yes. Here you go.

Thank you.

Four-leaf Clover

Oh, up against Iraq.

That doesn't look too good.

Excuse me,

do you have the first issue for this magazine?

No. This is the latest issue. Do you want it?

I'll take one.

All right.

All right. I'll pay for both of them.

What's going on, Technician Pei?

This magazine is for teens.

Why are you reading it?

I'm just reading it

to pass the time.

Here's your change, 2.8 yuan.

Thanks.

Huayan Technology Co., Ltd.

Make sure this showcase is sparkly clean.

It can't have a single fingerprint on it.

Conpo Computers
Okay.

Computer

Conpo Computers

Yi Wan,

Conpo Computers, Huayan Technology
give me some newspapers.

Qi Rong Bin.

I just cleaned that spot.
And you've dirtied it again.

It's not dirty. Don't worry.

I can fix it.

What do you mean not dirty? Look.

Just keep cleaning.

We're back.

Brother Xiao! Pei Qing Hua! You're back!

You're finally back!

You must be tired.

You're back. Good work.

- You're back.
- We're back.

Good work. We got the good news yesterday.

I knew both of you would definitely

get the deal.

Now, we are the top

in the Northeast, right?

Jefferson can't do anything about that now,

can they?

Of course.

With me and my junior working together,

we are sure to succeed, aren't we?

Of course.

We're not off the clock yet.

Why is everyone cleaning up?

You guys don't know this.

In two days, the vice president
of Conpo Corporation's headquarters

will be coming to Beijing for a meeting,

and will make a visit to our company too.

We'll help you clean up then.

No need.

You guys don't need to bother
with such trivial matters.

Director Tan is still waiting in his office.

What meeting is the vice president
of Conpo here for?

You'll know after you see Director Tan.

But I have to warn you guys.

Be careful when you give your report.

Mr. Tan has been in a bad mood lately.

Right.

Why? What happened to him?

It's not him. It's his daughter.

What happened to her?

I heard her visa application was rejected.

Mr. Tan was furious about it.

Well, anyone would be.

She was about to go overseas,

but now all of her plans fell through.

That's her problem. Why are you so anxious?

That's right.

You made it sound so serious.
You gave me a scare too.

And here I thought it was a huge issue.

This is a good thing, isn't it?

What did you say?

Isn't Director Tan still waiting for us?

Let's hurry up and go to his office.

- Let's go.
- Go on.

Come on. Let's get back to work.

So how was it?

Was your trip to the Northeast successful?

All rivers run to the sea

We ran into some trouble in the process.

They had some problems with some

of their phase one project equipment.

So I...

We solved the problem.

All right. Tell me

how you solved it.

Director Tan.

Tan, good news.

Director Lin.

Hello, Director Lin.

You guys came back just in time.

I have an important task

for you guys.

The IT Division of the Electrical
and Mechanical Department

is organizing

the Seminar
of Enterprise Informatization Construction.

As representatives,

we will be the first to share our findings.

This is the invitation. Take a look.

I have specially invited Mr. Spencer
from Conpo's headquarters

to attend this meeting.

Xiao Chuang, you will be responsible

for giving the speech.

Pei Qing Hua, help him

prepare the script.

All right. I will.

Before the end of the seminar,

an Information Technology
Building Service Award

will be presented to the best representative.

All right.

We'll prepare for it now.

We'll do our best to ensure Huayan gets the prize.

All right. I look forward to hearing good news.

You guys can have the rest of the day off.

Get some good rest.

Thank you, Director Lin.

- Go on.
- Thank you, Director Lin.

Vice General Manager

Were you going to bring up

the second-hand parts just now?

If I hadn't stopped you,

were you going to say

that it was all your idea?

Well, it was.

What do you mean it was?

Is that something good?

Besides, Mr. Lin already said

that we could make our own decisions
on small matters like these.

He doesn't want to know at all.

Hand me my bag.

Where are you going?

I'm off the clock. I'm going
to see Xie Hang, of course.

What about you?

Me? I'm going to the library.

You're going to look for materials
for the script already?

Don't worry. We'll work on it together
when I come back.

All right. I'll wait for you in the dorm.

Please help me.

It's that book. "Guide To Study Abroad
and Visa Application".

The system showed that the book
had already been returned.

But I can't find it anywhere.

Oh, that book?

That student over there
has been reading it the entire afternoon.

Thank you.

Tan Yuan?

Xinxun Building

Interflow China Co. Ltd
Why aren't you wearing

the new clothes I bought you?

Those clothes are expensive.
It's a waste to wear them to work.

I'll wear them next time for a formal occasion.

Clothes are meant to be worn.
Don't just keep them.

Once they're old, I'll buy you new ones.

All right.

Was your business trip successful?

Yes. After signing this deal,

I'm sure I've secured my position
as this year's sales champion.

You should have heard

how much Mr. Lin and Mr. Tan praised us.

Shouldn't you

give me a reward too?

How have you been?

Did Lydia try to make things
difficult for you recently?

No.

Aside from being a bit hard to work with,

she is actually quite nice.

If she bullies you again,

I'll puncture her tires.

She takes a car.

Besides, I can't thank her enough right now.

Why?

She agreed to let me join the Financial Department.

Really? That's great!

Come on.

We have to celebrate today.

Congratulations on escaping the devil's wrath!

I underestimated them.

Yanjing University Third Teaching Building
I thought my oral skills were fine

so I didn't revise much.

But that visa officer

asked some really tough and tricky questions.

When is your next interview
for the visa application?

Next month.

Thank you for helping me borrow this guide.

It's all I have to count on right now.

I'll hold onto this book first.

From now on, come to my dormitory to see me

every Thursday afternoon.

I'll prepare the questions

and pretend to be the visa officer.

It's fine. I can do it myself.

That's what you said in your dad's office

last time.

You've been rejected once.

If you get rejected twice in a row,

it'll become even more difficult.

Well... Don't you need to work?

I saved up a lot of vacation days.

How did you know

that I don't have classes on Thursday afternoon?

Is that so?

I just randomly chose a time.

It's fine. You can choose
another time if you want.

That's okay. Thursday afternoon will do.

Thank you.

It's nothing. I'll be going now.

Director Yu, you've had a long journey.

Didn't I tell you that you didn't have

to pick me up?

You came such a long way to Beijing.

Of course, I have to take

good care of you.

You're here for a three-day seminar this time.

I finally have a chance

to catch up with you.

I really can't help Jefferson this time.

So you don't have to treat me to a meal either.

I'm in a hurry to get to the department.

You just arrived.
You're reporting to work already?

Do you remember Chief Luo?

Yes, I do.

She has joined the department now.

And she was promoted to administrator.

She specifically asked to see me.

Can I not go and see her immediately in this case?

I guess things will be tough for me
from now on too.

You have to make a report

during the seminar this time too, don't you?

Yes.

Prepare well.

Don't get any wrong ideas.

Yes, of course. You're right.

I'll make sure to prepare well for it.

Excellent performance, efficient and practical

Secretary Jin,

I've already had three cups of tea.

Is Ms. Luo's meeting not finished yet?

Are you in a hurry to go anywhere, Yu?

You can't even wait for me for a little while?

It has been a while, Ms. Luo.

I came here right after I got off the train.

Our factory director sends his regards.

And these are the documents
I will be presenting during the seminar.

Please have a look.

It's still too superficial.

As the first pilot unit

of the informatization construction,

you can't just introduce these projects
that hold no significance.

You're right.

I'll go back and revise it.

There are some things

I've meant to talk to you in private.

About Baosong?

About you.

Do you know what is your

biggest problem?

I...

Please enlighten me, Ms. Luo.

You lack realism and pragmatism in your work.

Especially when it comes
to working with other enterprises.

You can't just give orders.

You must put the interests of the company first.

You're right.

I will correct my mistakes
and adopt the right attitude.

Show it to me again after you revise it.

Tuo Liquor

Did Ms. Luo make things hard on you again?

It can't be helped.

She is my superior right now.

I'll have to listen to her
even if she lectures me every day.

I'm in a worse position than you are.

My sales for this quarter aren't good.

And Huayan will take the spotlight
during the seminar.

I can't believe they are the first to give a speech.

They'll definitely make a big deal

out of their contract with Baosong.

But there's one thing

that I still can't figure out.

Solving your accessory problem
for your phase one project

requires a lot of money.

Did Huayan really just pay up?

Of course not.

Then...

Then did you guys just absorb the costs?

Well, no.

The two salesmen from Huayan

were good.

They are clever, and they have a lot of contacts.

They did something out of the box.

They came up with a compromise.

A compromise?

Tell me more.

Ms. Zhang.

They've seized everything. What do we do now?

Don't worry.

When we get out of here, you'll still work for me.

They seized the goods.

But we still have the means to get them.

With those words, I can rest easy.

Which one of you is Shu Zhi Hong?

I... I am.

Come out.

Come out!

Social Justice

Shu Zhi Hong. Journalist

So you are a journalist.

As real as one can be.

That Ms. Zhang in there should have a handler.

Look into it. It should be a big case.

Fight crime, promote social justice
All right. Thank you.

You're welcome.
It's all for the search for the truth.

Why did you only arrive just now?

Archive
Do you know how many hours it takes

to get to Changsha from Beijing via train?

I came here as fast as I could.

And you are blaming me for coming late?

Tell me. How many times have I
picked you up from the police station?

Three or five times, maybe.

Mediation Room
That's already a lot of times.

Well, we can't do nothing about this.

Look. I'll arrange for you to go to a seminar.

It's a seminar
of Enterprise Informatization Construction.

It's three days long. Take it as a vacation.

I'm not interested
in following up on that seminar.

Find someone else.

It's a good topic.

The entire world is talking
about information technology right now.

But we are in the news industry,

for which we should look
for the finest details in things.

I prefer to make a thunderous warning
in the deafening silence.

Otherwise,

why would they call me "The Determined

Shu Zhi Hong with the Iron Pen"?

I'll deduct your bonus if you don't go.

Fine. I'll go.

Besides,

even if it is about informatization
construction and sharing,

I'm sure I can find some sort of dirt from it.

Either way, I can't tolerate any unrighteous acts.

Internal Office
Oh, you.

Zhi Hong,

Hardworking, endure difficulties

these are the materials

regarding the Seminar
of Enterprise Informatization Construction.

I picked it up for you on my way.

- Thanks.
- You're welcome.

So many enterprises are going to be there?

Of course.

It is organized
by the Electrical and Mechanical Department.

It's a big deal among the higher-ups.

The chief editor told me
to remind you that specifically.

All right. I'll take a look at these.

See if there's anything
we can use as an entry point.

Editorial Office

Excuse me.

Who is the journalist of the Electronics
Technology News, Shu Zhi Hong?

I am. Do you need anything?

Hello.

Hello.

I'm a manager
of the Jefferson company, Wang Chong.

Could I talk to you about something?

I'm sorry, Mr. Wang,

Seminar of Enterprise
I still have a few articles I need to work on.

Informatization Construction
I still have a few articles I need to work on.

I don't think I have time for this.

In that case,

I think that's all the more reason
for you to talk to me.

What do you want to talk to me about?

You're writing a piece

on the Seminar of Enterprise
Informatization Construction, aren't you?

I have some information about Huayan

I would like to give you.

Why would you give me something like that?

I am a person with a strong sense of justice.

Just like you journalists,

I can't tolerate any unrighteous acts.

I couldn't tell.

Tell me. What is your relationship with Huayan?

All right. I'll be honest.

We are competitors.

It's no wonder then.

But I'm not interested

in your business rivalry.

And what if

they cheated in the competition?

Cheated?

That's right.

Not only did they sell used foreign garbage,

but they also profited from it.

Would these two things

be enough to capture your interest, Ms. Shu?

Tell me about it.

All right. It's settled then.

All right. I'll send you
the agreement next Wednesday.

Goodbye.

That's another order.

There's a person downstairs
asking about mainframes.

They specifically wanted the people
in charge of the deal with Baosong.

Which one of you is going?

Archive
With my junior here,

would I even be needed?

Don't be humble now, sales champion.

Hurry up.

The champion has to come out last.

Think about it. When you are in a crisis,

I'll come to save you. How cool would that be?

That's enough. Come on.

Let's go.

Hello.

Conpo

Hello, I'm Huayan Technology's salesman, Pei Qing Hua.

Can I help you?

Hello.

Our company wants to order mainframes.

I came to make a consultation.

This way, please. Let's sit down and talk.

Okay. Thank you.

Please have a seat.

Innovation drives the future

Please have some tea.

Thank you.

I'm Huayan Technology's
salesman, Xiao Chuang.

Which unit are you from?

How should I address you?

I'm from the Northeast Property Insurance.
I'm in charge of purchasing.

You can just call me Zhang.

Northeast Property Insurance?

As far as I know, Northeast Property Insurance

doesn't really have a need for mainframes.

Our company has data

that needs to be analyzed and processed too.

Look, Ms. Zhang,

the performance and use
of mainframes and microcomputers

are very different.

That's why there is a huge difference

in price points as well.

So

could you please tell me your budget first?

That way, I can recommend you

a suitable model.

I was sent by my superior to make an inquiry.

I don't know much of the details.

As for our budget, well,
we don't have a lot to spend on this.

I heard that in addition to your regular models,

you have sources to get
second-hand products from other brands too.

I'm sorry.

But we don't source second-hand products.

Yes.

We at Huayan only use new products.

Baosong is our client as well.

Our bosses are familiar with each other.

If it's not convenient for you,

you can tell me in private.

No, no.

I think you misunderstood.

We don't deal with second-hand goods here.

Ms. Zhang,

we don't sell used parts.

However, if you really need those,

we can try to find them for you.

This is the configuration list
for each of Conpo's models.

Take a look and see what you need.

All right.

Oh, right.

Director Zhao from Baosong's
Information Management Office

must have recommended you here, right?

Yes. I'm very close with Director Zhao.

Oh, you're close acquaintances.

She isn't here to buy computers.

Who are you?

Is that how you treat a consumer?

Are you going to take it out

or shall I?

I'm telling you,

with this alone,

I can report you to the police.

I am a journalist.

Work Permit

You should have told me you were a journalist.

Sorry. Sorry.

I thought you were

corporate espionage or something.

Sorry.

Let's continue.

I'm so sorry, Miss.

Is there

something you wanted to ask us?

Or something you want to investigate?

It's fine. You can just ask us.

You're the first person to pull my tape.

I hope you really didn't do anything wrong.

Or else, if I find anything,

I'll make sure to get you back for this.

Why would a journalist

want to investigate us about this matter?

Well, we didn't take any kickbacks
or profited from the matter.

And we even helped a state-owned
enterprise save resources.

There's nothing to worry about.

We didn't do anything wrong.
