Don't be angry.

I was too reckless just now.

I'm sorry.

When spring is here,

let's place the cherry pots

in front of Uncle's grave.

He won't be lonely by then.

(Wei,)

(if you're seeing this,)

(that means I'm pretty unlucky.)

(But don't blame
the heavens for being unfair.)

(I have experienced so much happiness)

(because of you all.)

(That's why I'm willing to
bear the pain and suffering.)

(Birth, old age, sickness, and death,)

(these are what every human must face.)

(Actually, I'm not scared.)

(I'm just worried that you might be.)

(You were competitive since young.)

(You had to take care of
your brother, me, and your mother.)

(Actually, I truly hope)

(that someone will love you
just like how I loved your mother.)

(I hope he can help you
relax and stay strong.)

(When you were young,)

(you told me that
your ambition was to be a lawyer.)

(I was elated.)

(Too many people had led a busy life)

(without knowing
what their dreams were.)

(For example, me.)

(I'm just an ordinary father.)

(But I raised a pair of
exceptional children.)

(I'm very proud of you two.)

(I hope I can give you courage)

(instead of being
an obstacle in your journey.)

(Sweetie,)

(your dreams are my dreams too.)

(No matter if I'm by your side or not,)

(no matter if I'm still alive or not,)

(I hope you can realize
your dream and shine brightly.)

(Don't blame me)

(for registering the
National Judicial Examination for you)

(Don't be sad.)

(Even though I can
no longer keep you company,)

(I've prepared a secret gift for you
when you pass the exam.)

(I've placed it under your bed.)

(Treat this as my compensation, okay?)

If we

stay in the same spot
whenever we encounter obstacles,

we'll never recover from our suffering.

All your dreams

and talent will be in vain.

I would rather be a villain.

I would rather let you detest me.

Even so, I want you
to overcome it by force.

I know this is an excruciating process.

But no matter how terrible it feels,

I'm willing to shoulder them
together with you.

I just...

I just don't understand.

Why did the same thing happen
even after I went through so much

to experience everything again?

I understand.

It's fine.

You have me with you.

As long as you trust me,

even if our fate was truly
dictated from the start,

I would change
our fate together with you.

Stop crying.

Stop crying.

Let's take the exam together then.

Stop crying.

(Episode 21)
(When Dreams Are Hit By Reality)

(Legally Romance)

(2014 National Judicial Examination,
Haizhou District)

Do you remember that you copied
my answers when we were still freshmen?

You won't be able to do that now.

How many times have I told you?
I did not copy your answers.

Besides, why should I copy your answers
when I was the top student?

It's fine if you can't see my answers.

At least you can see me.

I will calm your nerves.

You won't need to be afraid
when I'm here.

Students,

the exam will begin in five minutes.

The exam will last for 210 minutes.

Please maintain order during the exam.

When the time is up,

please stop writing immediately.

Those who go against the rules
will be seen as cheating.

During the exam,

please raise your hand and ask me
if you have any questions.

Do not speak with
the other candidates in private.

(National Judicial Examination)
(Paper Four)

(National Judicial Examination)
(Paper One)

(Question No.10)

(Name: Qian Wei)

Girl, what's the matter?

I...

I felt dizzy just now.

Continue with your exam. Sit down.

Remember to maintain order
during the exam.

(Since I'm already here,)

(I don't think I can get away with this
that easily.)

(If God does want to send me back,)

(I'll do anything I can
to cling on to Lu Xun)

(and try to stay here.)

Mr. Zhang,

I just checked our results.

Qian Wei's score was 478

while mine was 475.

I did poorly on Paper Four.
I hope I didn't disappoint you.

My father does know me the best.

Qian Wei,

congratulations on breaking my record.

You've surpassed me.

You've also broken the record
Li Chong Wen had set last year.

You've even broken
Guanghua University's record.

How do you feel?

I feel satisfied.

Let's celebrate.

I have another piece of good news.
This is a double blessing.

Mr. Zhang said Jin Yuan Law Firm

is looking for interns.

Really?

That means we can go there together!

As this is a rare opportunity, I'm sure
there's only one slot available.

We can't go there together.

Did you reserve
the slot for me on purpose?

What are you saying?

I'm so busy.

Besides, Law Online will go online soon.

I need to provide community aid
with our department next semester.

So,

I cannot deal with everything at once.

I have to prepare a lot of things too.

I can only forget about
the law firm for now.

And, I plan to do a six-month
internship with the court

to accumulate my practical experience.

That means I can
no longer compete with you.

I cannot experience how thrilling
it feels like winning against you again.

Don't you think you're being too modest?

In my world,

you are

always the winner.

Are you a woodpecker?

Qian Wei!

Are you...

(Dad.)

(When the female actor,
Kirin Kiki, passed away,)

(Hirokazu Koreeda wrote
a memorial speech for her.)

(He said after a person passes away,)

(they will exist in all things.)

(They will be everywhere.)

(We might pass by them on the streets.)

(We might find their silhouette
on other strangers.)

(Maybe losing something is
the way for us to possess it forever.)

(I only managed to understand
those words today.)

(I wish to live in this world forever.)

(I don't want to return to 2022.)

(Dad, goodbye.)

(When you're free,)

(you should visit me in my dreams.)

(I'll miss you forever.)

Sweetie,

why are you staying up again?

I told you that staying up
is bad for your body.

Finish this tea.

(Qian Wei)

(The world is a small place.)

(I've already tried
my best to let you go,)

(but you've appeared again.)

Chong Wen,

I knew you would be here.

Send this to our client.

-Alright.
-I've sent the address to you.

Let me take a look.

A nightclub?

She's the daughter of a rich man
who just returned from abroad.

She's never home.

You're the perfect candidate
for this job.

She likes young and
dashing men like you.

Ms. Lan, let me help you.

-Hello.
-I'm not drunk.

Hello.

Do you know who's Ms. Lan He
from that room?

This is Ms. Lan He.

She had drunk quite a lot
together with her friends just now.

What should we do?

-Thank you.
-Remember to bring me my wine.

Hurry up!

Hello, Ms. Lan He.

-I...
-Cheers.

Let's have a drink.

Hello, I'm here to
send you the contract.

Are you okay?

Ms. Lan?

Ms. Lan.

Here, Ms. Lan.

Thanks.

Who are you?

I'm Li Chong Wen from Jin Yuan Law Firm.

I'm here to send you the contract.

You were drunk just now.

Why am I on a bus?

You see.

Maybe you don't remember
because you were drunk.

I took your phone and called
your father and elder brother.

They didn't answer the call.

I had no choice.

I was worried that it might be
unsafe for you to go home alone.

And, the subway is offline.
Only buses were available.

My father?

My brother?

They hoped that they wouldn't
need to see me in this lifetime.

Why would they answer my call?

Do you know something?

If it was the police station

or the funeral parlor calling them,

I'm sure they would
answer the call immediately.

If you encounter me

in this situation again,

you should call my chauffeur.

In this world,

only my chauffeur

would pick me up.

He's the only person who'll do so.

Sorry about that.

Is this the contract?

That's right.

You puked on the contract just now.

That's why I checked it
to see if it was damaged.

It seemed fine.

Is there something wrong
with this contract?

It's perfectly fine.

Mr. Zhang drew up
this contract personally.

It's perfectly fine. Please don't worry.

Little kid,
are you still in kindergarten?

You looked adorable when you lie.

Please take the contract.

I've accomplished my mission.

I'll make a move now.

My father left me
in charge of this project.

But my brother intervened
as he said he was trying to "help" me.

He said he got his contract
templates from your law firm.

He said I just needed to
do some minor alterations.

But do you know something?

If I lose this project again,

my father will never trust me again.

So what if my brother was your client?

What about me?
Am I not your client too?

Can you help me

to protect my rights?

Actually, this contract
contains many vague terms.

Regarding this piece of land,

not only was it split accordingly
for you and your brother,

but on the contract, it also stated

that your brother can apply

for a land expansion if necessary.

Once he does so,

as the supplier of the land expansion,

you have to pay him for the extra land
according to market price.

Thank you.

You're a Master of Law at UC Berkeley?

I was intending to do my PhD in Law

in UC Berkeley too.

If so, I can lend you my notes.

They'll help you out.

Thanks!

When you start
your new side mission as an intern,

your previous experiences
will be useless.

Without the power to foster
strengths and circumvent weaknesses,

you have to depend
on yourself for everything.

But with the intellect of
a person in her 30s

and a head full of youthful hair,

I'm sure I can do this.

Qian Wei, are you here to
be an intern or an item seller?

Listen.

You guys will know how useful
they are when the time comes.

And this, this is useful to prevent
your shoes from pinching your feet.

If you're hungry, you can have
this meal replacement powder.

It's no problem at all.

I have some band-aids too.

It's obvious that she's a veteran.

Did you guys

see any coffee machines around here?

I brought instant coffee with me too.

You guys can have them
if you're sleepy.

Let's share them. It's fine.

Save yourself the trouble.

Your mentor had bought
some Yongpu coffee for you guys.

(I almost forgot that Li Chong Wen)

(was doing his internship at
Jin Yuan Law Firm back then.)

(Seems like this side mission
will get even tougher now.)

Thank you, Mr. Zhang.

Do you know who I am?

When I was in the hallway,

I looked at the details of the business
partners and associate attorneys.

That's why I remember your name.

You're very bright.

You must be Qian Wei, the candidate
Mr. Zhang Zi Han had recommended us.

That's right.

You were the top student in your course.

Your CV was great.

And you passed the National Judicial
Examination with flying colors.

Come, let me introduce him to you guys.

This is Li Chong Wen.
Batch 2010, Guanghua University.

After his postgraduate studies,

he has been doing his
internship here for almost a year.

He's familiar with the work we do here.

If you have any questions,
you can ask him.

I know.

All of you must be excellent students
when you were in university.

If not,

you wouldn't even get the chance
to come here in the first place.

But Jin Yuan doesn't
lack talented people.

I hope you can show us
your core values within a short time.

Only one of you

will be staying here in the end.

Everyone, don't be too nervous.

After all, this is your first day here.

How about this?
Let's start with a simple case.

Now, there's a case of
dispute over private lending.

I've sent the basic details
to your emails.

You guys can take a look.

Each one of you

can prepare a proposal for our client.

Send it to me
after you're done, alright?

-Okay.
-Qian Wei.

Send it to me
before work hours are over.

Can you do it?

But it's already 3 p.m.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

-Look at the time.
-No problem.

Look.

Qian Wei doesn't have a problem with it.
What about you guys?

Here, share them with everyone.

Thanks.

Have some coffee and perk yourself up.

Qian Wei.

What? Are you afraid I'll poison you?

Everyone has the same drink.

Everyone,

this is sugarless flash brew coffee.

You won't gain weight from it.

You can enjoy it without any worries.

Don't think I'll go easy
on you just because

we came from the same university.

Don't worry. I will
accomplish my task on time.

You said that yourself.

-Enjoy your coffee.
-Thanks.

Lu Xun, why are you still here?

We just finished a court case.
There were too many materials.

I'm helping the clerk to organize them.

Lu Xun, do you have a girlfriend?

Look at how busy you are
during your internship.

Where can you find the time
to get yourself a girlfriend?

You don't understand. My girlfriend

is a workaholic.

That's what my ex-girlfriend told me

right before I graduated.

I wish you luck.

-Alright, I'll make a move first.
-Goodbye.

(I just got off work.)

(If everything goes well,)

(I will celebrate the New Year
countdown with overtime work.)

(Qian Wei, don't tell me you forgot
what day the New Year is?)

(Didn't you tell me already?)

(It's the New Year countdown, right?)

You pretentious fellow.

He's reminding me about
his birthday lest I forget about it.

I'll ignore you.

It's no fun if we do
everything directly.

I've sent
the legal opinion letter to you.

I'm printing them
for my colleagues tomorrow.

I'm not being absent-minded.

I read your proposal.

Doing loans with fake contracts
is a type of civil liability.

Why did you include it as
interlocked penal and civil cases?

Loan by fraud is
definitely a penal case.

Loan by fraud?

(I forgot that these cases
were only considered)

(loan by fraud in 2018.)

It's a law article that will
be implemented in the future.

You're doing this again?

Listen,

more and more of these cases
will appear in the future.

Shell corporations like them

will use loans as an excuse

to be a loan shark
and blackmail their victims.

When there's a legal dispute,

they will go bankrupt
and flee immediately.

Due to the collapse of P2P,

after 2018,

such behaviors

will be seen as loan by fraud
and will be treated as such.

Not only will the money
lenders suffer losses,

but they will also face imprisonment.

But the future will change.

And it's in the future.

If you're treating it as such,
your internship...

Understood. I'll change it immediately.

-Here.
-Thanks.

Don't be nervous.

Everything else is fine.

I have heard about

your father.

I thought you would be depressed
for a long time.

I didn't expect you to pull
yourself together that quickly.

This is really rare.

Maybe it's because
I've finally figured things out.

For some things,

even if you have
the chance to do them again,

the result will never change.

Are you saying

that your father experienced
the same thing last time?

It was the same last time.

But it was too late
when we reached the hospital.

I didn't even get to talk to him.

This time, it's much better.

At least he left me with five words.

What five words?

Goodbye.

And I love you.

(Could it be that she truly
came from another timeline?)

You're so lucky.

I'm so envious.

What about you?

What about your father's debt?

During my internship,
besides taking my basic wages,

Mr. Zhang would allocate
some of the legal fees to me.

I've repaid his debt.

And, Mr. Zhang wants me to stay.

He said he would give me a chance
to become an official employee here.

I guess I'm getting closer to my dreams.

That's great to hear.

Cheers.

Qian Wei.

Are you returning to the school?
Me too. Let's go back together.

It's fine. I can return by myself.

Why didn't you take
an umbrella with you?

I thought there was
an umbrella beside your desk?

Didn't you say you enjoy the rain?

Is he here to pick you up?

Senior, why don't you join us?

We're in the same way anyway.

Yeah, you should join us.

Never mind.

I'll take the bus. I'm used to it.

It's fine. We have an empty seat.

You should join us. It's no trouble.

Never mind. You guys should go.

If so, we'll make a move first.

Take care, Senior.

-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.

I was the silly one here.

Why would anyone
enjoy the rain for real?

On my way to the court,

I saw that it was raining.

That's why I borrowed
my father's car to pick you up.

I should've arrived long ago.

But I went to prepare
a surprise for you.

-What is it?
-Take a look.

A backpack?

It's nothing extravagant.

It's just that you were carrying
a canvas backpack all along.

If it rains and
it damages your computer,

all your files will be gone.

That's why...

You bought two of them?

Is it a couple backpack?

I don't know about that.

Anyway, the shopping guide told me

that it was on a 50% discount.
That's why I bought it.

I wanted to save some money.

Stop messing around.
I'm driving, you know?

Don't fool around.

Why don't I pick you
up after work every day?

Don't do that.

The other interns either
take the bus or the subway.

I don't think I should be doing this.

I'm only picking you up in a car
because it's raining today.

If so, I'll pick you up with
a bicycle in the future.

Taking the bus is
more convenient for me.

Why must you go through all the trouble?

What? Are you jealous?

Can't I be jealous?

I'm jealous of your
relationship with your work.

What if...

If I follow your schedule,

I guess I won't be able
to see you this month.

Seems like someone does want
to celebrate the New Year with me.

So, do you like the backpack?

It's alright, I guess.
It was bought at a 50% discount.

What's wrong with that?

Can't you help me save some money?

Of course I can.

(Account Balance: RMB 12.03)

(Account Balance: RMB 43.88)

(Qin Fen)

(Mr. Zhang)

She's the daughter of a rich man
who just returned from abroad.

She's never home.

You're the perfect candidate
for this job.

She likes young and
dashing men like you.

This is the perfect task for you.

What's wrong?

Chong Wen,

everyone here has done
their fair share of studying.

Everyone has a dream
to change the world, right?

But reality is cruel.

Sometimes,

you won't be able to get another
opportunity if you miss out on it.

Chong Wen,

I've discussed your raise
with my business partners.

It shouldn't be a problem.

I know you're in
a hurry to get your license.

I will try to include your name
in the firm as soon as possible.

In the future, I'll allocate

stable case sources to you eventually.

But

you must understand
your position in the company.

You need to understand what
the company needs you to do.

Alright.

(Those who suit their
actions to the time are wise.)

Everyone else neglected

the discussion of the case
jurisdiction except for Qian Wei.

That's the first thing. Second,

there are no highlights
in your evidence reports.

You guys didn't give enough examples
to support your articles.

Alright, everyone,
stop what you're doing.

Chong Wen, you, and you, stay here.

As for the rest, leave the room
and resume your work.

(Qin Fen)

Chong Wen.

Jin Yuan is Leda's annual legal counsel.

According to the client's request,

you guys have to sign
the non-disclosure agreement.

Our client requests us to fire
their executive called Qin Fen

legally

using the lowest cost.

His length of service was nine years.

The document contains his work records,

business trip records, and health
condition for the past nine years.

Qin Fen has chronic nephritis.

I suggested transferring him
to a highly radioactive

and exhausting post

so that he would resign from the job.

But our client wants
to end this quickly.

Qin Fen didn't do anything wrong

during his length of service.

He has never applied for any
annual leave for the past nine years.

And, judging from his work hours,

business trip counts,

and his health reports,

he got chronic nephritis

due to overwork.

This is considered work injury.

Why are they firing him?

What do you mean by that?

Our clients have no obligations

to tell us the exact
reason they are firing him.

If he doesn't tell us why,

we don't have a valid reason

to fire an employee who had
worked for them for nine years.

Qian Wei, there are
many possibilities to this.

Maybe it's because
he lost a faction war.

Maybe he couldn't work
efficiently due to his health condition

and family problems.

Since our client has decided to do this,

the reason itself isn't important.

Our priority is

to satisfy our client by firing him
using the lowest cost.

How about this?

We should ask our client
to compromise with him.

They should settle his overtime pay

and year-end bonuses first.

After that, we can turn his labor
contract into a service contract.

After that, we can double his wage...

Our client doesn't want
any compromisation.

Since they're not willing to
pay him the N+1 compensation,

they won't agree to pay him
his overtime pay and year-end bonuses.

We're not here to discuss
a compromise proposal.

I couldn't believe Mr. Zhang
raised a student like her.

I have an idea.

We might need
the client's cooperation for this.

But it's a bit troublesome.

Tell us.

The higher-ups can put him
on leave with an oral order.

For a huge company like Leda,

I'm sure there's a procedure to go
through in order to apply for leave.

After half a month,

the company can say

that he took leave without
the company's permission.

They can treat that as absenteeism.

In this case, we can prevent
the N+1 compensation too.

This will work.

What about the payment
for his unused annual leave

and the year-end bonuses?
How should we deal with them?

Leda always adopted

an effort-based company culture, right?

Actually, we can ask them
to draft an agreement.

Using stock dividend,

increment of year-end bonus

and accelerated promotion as a carrot

to let their employee give up
annual leave,

overtime pay
and previous year-end bonuses.

Target the issuance of this agreement
on mid and senior levels.

Lastly,

we can give this agreement
a high-sounding name.

-We'll call this the Wolf Agreement.
-The Wolf Agreement.
