[Master Of My Own]

[Episode 8]

Why did you shout?

Mr. Lu, why are you here?

No.

I should be the one asking you that.

Ning Meng.

Have you been stalking me?

I'm not stalking you.

I just want to go home.

What home?

This is Zeng Yuhang's house.

Where is your home?

Mr. Zeng lives across the door from me?

Lu Mingming, are you still on the phone?

Ning Meng?

Why didn't you tell me

that you invited Ning Meng?

Come in.

No. Well.

I live here.

Really? We are neighbors?

Not bad, Ning Meng.

You changed your company, your job position,

and even your house.

Your quality of life has improved so much.

Yes.

After all, it's a new environment.

We are neighbors now,

if you need anything, knock on my door.

Don't be shy.

What are you doing? Who are you talking to?

Ning Meng?

Time to blow the candles.

Let's take out the cake.

No. Wait.

Why is she here?

What are you doing?

How much does Shi Ying

pay you every month?

Mr. Lu, do you think I work for her for the money?

Talking about money is too degrading. Bye.

What are you looking at? This is our trade secret.

Trade secret?

There's a huge issue with this corporation.

Don't you realize?

What issue?

Are we that close?

I think I'm just

a blacklisted person, right?

I know what issue it is now.

I already know

what issue it has.

I'm about to work on it.

What issue?

Did I say anything about an issue?

There's no issue.

If you change it,

there'll be an issue.

Mr. Lu.

Did you put too much salt

in your dinner tonight?

What do you mean?

You are so salty.

I have

way more experience than you.

I hope you choke on your words.

Twisted Lu, I know you too well.

What issue does it have?

are the same as the second and third-tier cities?]

[Eaglestone Capital]

Hello.

Are you the person-in-charge

of Cozap Nanjing Drum Tower?

It's like this.

I would like to open a branch in Hunan.

So, I want to find out more about it from you.

For your area,

how's the foot traffic

in a month?

What about the turnover ratio
and the units per transaction?

Hello?

Hello?

[Report]

[Out of Choices]

Hello, Ning Meng.

I miss you so much.

Is Mr. Lu there?

Yes. Are you looking for him?

No.

Have you been scolded today?

Can't you wish me well?

He hasn't attacked me today.

I see.

Looks like he's in quite a good mood today,

right?

He is in a good mood today.

I heard

that he closed the deal
on a huge project yesterday.

He had quite the fun drinking.

Okay. I got it.

Bye. I'll treat you to hotpot later.

That's it?

Hello?

Mr. Lu, I am Ning Meng.

You've become smart.

Now, you just call my office.

Mr. Lu.

Before this, you told me

that the company had an issue.

You want to know the issue? I can't tell you.

Bye.

Don't hang up.

I just want to tell you

that I know where the issue lies.

The company has a financial problem,

right?

There's nothing wrong with their finance.

Are you trying to trick me to tell you the answer?

We've been together for three years.

Don't think that I don't know you at all.

If you had really found out the answer,

you wouldn't have to

call me on purpose.

If it's not a financial problem,

then, there should be nothing wrong

with the sales amount then.

Not necessarily.

Who says that there's no issue
with the sales amount?

Heed my advice

and stop trying to trick me
into giving you the answer.

If you want to know

where the issue lies,

it's easy.

Work as my secretary again.

Then, I'll tell you the answer.

I'll think about it.

Do you think you can trick me?

I can always tell

if you are lying or not.

I didn't work for nothing in those three years.

Ms. Shi.

I was looking for you.

I found out that there's an issue

with Cozap's sales amount.

What did you find?

Take a look.

Their report looks good.

But all of the franchise owners

have similar

signatures.

It's like they are signed by the same person.

The signatures are quite similar.

So, I doubled-checked

their phone numbers

and names through Alipay.

The information doesn't match.

And two-thirds of the information is fake.

After that, I found

the real contact information

of their franchise shops

and called each owner one by one.

All of them

gave me similar answers.

It feels like they are hiding something.

This is very fishy.

Are you sure that the sales amount
is the issue here?

Although they have the same answers,

their plan is not foolproof.

I purposely called a few shops

that are more secluded

to coax the answers out of them.

And I found out that their sales amount

doesn't match.

And two of the shops

are already closed.

But their sales amount is still being updated.

Not bad. You are quite sharp.

Besides...

Besides, I had inquired about it

from another source of mine.

Anyway, Ms. Shi,

I believe in my judgment.

Okay.

We'll go to Cozap's headquarter now

to tell them about our discovery.

Now?

Yes. Speed is the best asset.

We don't have to give them notice.

We'll catch them off guard.

If we give them notice beforehand,

they'll have time to plan.

Understood.

I feel so guilty for letting you

pay us a visit yourself.

Mr. Zhao, you are too kind.

I really look forward

to your performance in Q4.

Hopefully, we can collaborate next time.

Of course.

Just wait for our good news.

Bye.

Have a safe journey.

You want to ask me

why we had settled it so peacefully
when I told you

that I would catch them unawares, right?

I was shocked.

Did you notice

his expression when I said

I was not going to invest?

At that very moment, he had already realized

that we had noticed the issue.

We are intelligent people.

There are things that we don't have to say.

We went there to tell them about my decision.

Not to fight them.

There's a saying

that young people use

about not exposing someone.

Do you mean "life is hard enough,
no need to expose others' secret"?

Although it's not that accurate,

the meaning is similar.

You'll understand with experience

that this kind of thing is quite common.

Even if we can't collaborate with each other,

it doesn't mean we have
to make an enemy out of them.

Very good.

Eaglestone Capital

is a new force in the world of investment.

We are able to achieve so much

in such a short time

because of your cooperation and diligence.

I'm really grateful to all of you.

Thank you, Ms. Shi.

Actually, to become a good investor,

apart from having sharp eyes
for discovering potential clients,

more importantly,

you need to have the capability
to discover hidden trouble

in time to negate the risk.

Ning Meng

did very well

in this Cozap project.

She managed to find out the data

that they were trying to conceal

and saved our company from any losses.

It was nothing, Ms. Shi.

I just made a few calls.

Don't be so humble.

When someone faked the sales amount,

it wouldn't be so easy to spot it
if you were not meticulous

and smart enough.

Ning Meng is new here.

But she has already proven herself.

That's amazing.

Let's put our hands together for her.

I'll continue to work hard.

Mr. Lu, Ms. Shi has replied to us.

They have already rejected

the Cozap project.

They've also warned us

that we have to be cautious

if we want to take on the project.

Did they tell us why?

I think it's because Ning Meng

discovered a major issue with it.

A hidden issue

that is hard to be discovered.

Okay.

If Cozap

approaches us,

reject them.

I'm not interested

in this project anyway.

Understood.

Mr. Lu.

Ning Meng is amazing.

She managed to discover

such a difficult issue.

If she didn't find out,

Ms. Shi

might invest in this project.

From...

Are you done?

Is your mouth rented?

Do you feel that it's a waste if you don't talk?

No.

You are quite clever.

Ms. Shi, you are looking for me?

Ning Meng, come. Sit.

You've done well lately.

Looks like I have a keen eye.

Thank you, Ms. Shi.

This is a project from Baoyi Goldsmith Co., Ltd.

asking for a capital increase
and share expansion.

This company

is a prestigious company in the industry.

They want to increase their authorized capital

before they become a listed company.

So, they want to find some new shareholders.

Usually, for this kind of project,

it'll always be profitable.

And it won't take long.

This is a great opportunity.

I am going to let you

handle this mission.

You'll work on this together
with your previous company.

With Joint Capital?

You know the people there.

Besides, you'll fit right in.

Is there a problem?

No.

Ms. Shi, please continue.

The overall structure
of our investment is like this.

Joint Capital and us

will have a joint general partnership.

And then, we'll build a joint foundation.

After that, we'll create
an asset management product

through a trust fund.

Do you understand the structure?

Yes.

We can only use

the money inside the trust fund

to invest in projects that are related
to the private placement.

That's why we need

an asset management plan

so that we can invest in stocks

that will be issued in private.

Not bad.

You are more and more like an investor now.

Your mission

is to go through the documents

with our LP,

speed up the process and take care of the details.

Okay.

I'll get going now.

Hello?

Mr. Lu, I am Ning Meng.

What is it?

Ms. Shi asked me to interface with you

regarding the capital increase
and share expansion project

from Baoyi Goldsmith Co., Ltd.

After this, I'll work on the project

together with Joint Capital.

She said that she had already
informed you about it.

Mr. Lu?

Yes. She had informed me about it.

But now,

in what capacity are you reporting to me?

Have you forgotten about the basic rules

now that you are in a new company?

How can you report

straight to the boss

of another company?

I'm calling on behalf of Ms. Shi

to inform you

about the progress of the project.

We are honored to be able
to collaborate with your company.

Stop acting all official on me.

Mr. Lu, after this,

I'll be in touch with the Project Department.

If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now.

Wait.

Haven't you forgotten something?

What is it?

About the Cozap project.

Don't you think you should thank me?

I discovered that issue myself.

Stop lying.

You tricked the answer out of me.

You've wronged me.

I already knew the answer

before I called you.

I just called you

to confirm the validity of the issue.

Not bad, Ning Meng.

You've learned how to be ungrateful.

You are too kind. Bye, Mr. Lu.

Please wait.

Thank...

What is it? Finish the sentence.

You are really ungrateful.

Mr. Lu.

Why are you blocking my path?

Nothing.

I just want you

to thank me properly.

It's not much, right?

Thank you, Mr. Lu.

Can you be more sincere?

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your guidance.

Thank you for being so selfless.

I'm done now.

Is that sincere enough?

You are really bold now.

I think I'm okay.

After all, I don't get my salary from you anymore.

Why didn't I realize

that you could have such a sharp tongue?

You were really good at acting, Ning Meng.

Let me tell you.

You were being deceitful and fake.

To survive,

all humans have to be a little bit fake, right?

I'm different.

I've never faked myself in front of you.

Maybe you are not a human then.

Ning Meng, say that again.

If you stop me again, I'll call the police.

Go ahead.

How dare you threaten me with that. Go ahead.

Hello?

Ning Meng, why are you so evil?

How can you call the police?

(It'll be cloudy tomorrow.)

(There'll be thunderstorms in certain areas.)

Bye, Mr. Lu.

Just you wait, Ning Meng!

Why didn't you tell me before you came here?

I was hit.
I was just about to go and find you.

Fake.

Humans are so fake.

Why are you scolding me?

Who are you calling fake?

Did I say it was you?

Why do you look so guilty?

I was talking about your neighbor.

What did Ning Meng do again?

After this Sour Orange quit,

she changed into another person.

She's like a stranger now.

When she was my secretary,

she was so gentle and obedient.

But in the end, it was just an act.

It turns out

that she has never been good or obedient.

She's so rebellious.

Why are you

so harsh

on Ning Meng?

Why not?

I want to see

how different she can be.

Enough, Twisted Lu.

Let's talk about business.

I want to ask you.

Are you working on a capital increase

and share expansion project

together with Shi Ying lately?

How do you know?

I was about to talk to you about it.

It's possible

that Tiantian may take part in it.

Why?

Back then, a company called Yuanyuan Real Estate

went to her

about the RV park project.

She had high hopes for this project.

She wanted to become a GP

to prove herself.

She asked you to invest in it

but you didn't, right?

And her father refused to help her.

She doesn't want to give up on it.

She finds out that Shi Ying is looking

for an LP for this project.

So, she wants

to pull Yuanyuan in

so that they can earn some money.

After this, they can still continue

with the RV park project.

Has Shi Ying agreed to it?

You know

that they are close.

Moreover, Shi Ying is clever.

She won't give up this chance

to do Tiantian a favor.

Is Yuanyuan Real Estate reliable?

We still have to assess it.

Mingming.

Don't be so prejudiced against Tiantian.

Although she is reckless,

she means well.

She's quite cute when she's being so serious.

Zeng Yuhang.

You are acting weird.

Have you

fallen in love with Xu Sitian after going

to Europe with her?

Do you think I'm insane?

Stop with this nonsense.

Let me ask you.

Don't tell me that you'll be dealing

with Ning Meng this time.

It must be hard on Ning Meng.

It wasn't easy for her to switch
to another company.

But she still can't escape you.

She still has to work under you.

What did you send me again?

You'll know after you open it.

Surprise! Is it nice?

Wear it and show it to me.

But it's too tall.

It's meant to be taller.
That way, you'll look more poised.

You are not a secretary now.

Don't always dress up like a nun.

Okay?

Now, you've taken off your glasses.

And you've changed your outfit.

After you wear the heels from me,

you'll be a new woman.

Hurry up and wear it.

This...

I'll try it on first.

Let me take this call first.

Mr. Ren.

Ning Meng, you are a totally new person now.

I heard that Eaglestone
had sent you to interface

with us as our joint GP partner.

Am I right?

Yes.

You are being too kind.

If there's no issue,

let's sign the collaboration agreement.

Mr. Lu has asked for you

to come here personally

so that we can go through

the content
of the collaboration agreement together.

If there's any problem,

we can solve it face-to-face and at once.

That way, we don't have to waste our time

going back and forth with the articles.

Mr. Ren.

I don't think it's necessary.

Our company already has a template

for joint GP, right?

You can send it to me.

And I can ask our Legal Department
to go through it.

If there's no problem,

I can deliver it to you by mail

after we stamp it.

After that, you can ask Mr. Lu

to go through the OA stamping process.

Then, you can just deliver it back to me,

right?

Ning Meng.

Can't you just do me this favor?

You know

Mr. Lu's temper.

If I tell him that you refuse to come here,

he'll scold me for sure.

Are you really going

to sacrifice me?

Alright then.

I'll go there tomorrow, Mr. Ren.

Okay. See you tomorrow.

Bye.

You have to go back to your previous company

to meet your ex-boss?

I don't want to hurt those innocent bystanders.

I can already imagine

the way he mocks me

when I meet him tomorrow.

He'll lean back on his chair

and look at me with his nose.

You are here, Sour Orange.

Will he make it difficult for you in this project?

I don't think so.

Although he's childish,

he's quite

professional.

Why are you worried about it then?

In my opinion,

now is the time

for you to regain your pride.

Regain my pride?

It's like meeting your ex-boyfriend

after you break up with him.

You need to let him know

that you are doing much better

without him.

Listen to me.

When you go there,

put on some beautiful make-up,

wear your most dazzling outfit,

put on the heels that I gave you,

and march in with your head held high.

Ning Meng.

Ning Meng, I miss you so much!

After you are gone,

I have no one

to eat hotpot with.

I'll treat you to a hotpot next time.

How's the new company?

Does Ms. Shi treat you well?

Yes. Ms. Shi treats me really well.

She has given me a lot of opportunities
to stretch my wings.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be here.

I'm so happy for you, Meng.

Why does it feel like you've grown taller?

Ning Meng.

Mr. Ren.

I was right yesterday.

You've gone through a metamorphosis.

You are too kind.

I'm here to discuss the contract.

There's no rush.

Mr. Lu is in his office.

Go and greet him.

Go on.

I'll wait for you in my office.

Okay.

Go.

Meng, I have some work to do.

I'll see you later.

Okay. Go and do your work.

You are here, Ning Meng. Hello.

Fatty, Zhang.

Hello.

Ning Meng.

Ning Meng.

Mr. Liu.

Let me take a look at you.

You've become prettier.

(Liu Yitian.)

(Liu Yitian.)

You are here to see Mr. Lu, right?

Come. Let's go in together.

How did you organize the documents?

Have you learned nothing from Ning Meng?

Why can't you get better at this?

Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu.

You are wearing heels now?

Get me a glass of water.

I'll get it now.

Have a good chat.

Mr. Lu.

I'm here to give you my greetings.

After that,

I won't disturb you

from getting on with your important work.

I'll go and work on the contract now.

The floor is slippery. Don't twist your ankle.

You are done already?

Go now.

No.

Ning Meng has changed so much.

Redo this properly.

Ning Meng?

Ms. Xu.

Why are you here?

You are now working under Shi Ying, right?

Our company and Joint Capital

are working on a capital increase
and share expansion project.

I am the representative from Eaglestone.

You are really enjoying calling it

your company.

Shi Ying sent you here?

Why did you

take off that pair of grandma glasses?

Besides,

this outfit doesn't suit you at all.

Mingming.

Talk properly.

Mingming, look at me.

What is it?

Look at me.

Do I look nice today?

I've used the mermaid eyeshadow palette today.

Look.

It's nice.

Hey,

you are just brushing me off.

Tell me then. Which part is nice?

This bag is nice. What brand is it?

Lu Jiming, are you senile?

This is the birthday present that you asked

Zeng Yuhang to give me last year.

That's right.

I forgot.

Why are you here?

You know that I've introduced
Yuanyuan Real Estate

to Shi Ying

as her LP candidate, right?

Yes.

I'm here to talk to you about that.

If you agree,

I'll temporarily forgive you

for that RV park project.

RV park is different

from a capital increase and share expansion.

Don't put them together.

They are not different.

For me, they are the same.

You and your father won't invest in me.

So, I'll just find other investors.

As long as Yuanyuan and I succeed

in the capital increase
and share expansion project,

they will be willing to invest in me.

Mingming, I beg you.

Fine.

But let me be clear.

This will be strictly business.

Okay. No problem. It's a deal then.

You are the best, Mingming.

Don't touch me.

Do you know

who I saw just now?

Who?

I saw Ning Meng.

She has left?

I can't believe Shi Ying did this.

Why did she choose her?

Ning Meng is just a newbie in Eaglestone.

But she lets her handle

this kind of major project.

You didn't see

how different

she looks now.

In the past,
she was so out of style and invisible.

Her demeanor

has changed now that she has switched her job.

She even talks to me differently now.

Hello? Ren Pengfei.

Hurry up and give me the contract
if it's already signed.

I have a business dinner tonight.

If you don't give it to me,
when will I have the time to go through it?

Okay. Hurry up.

I'm super busy with my work today.

I have to get back to work now.

I'm done here.

Get back to your work then.

Hello?

Ning Meng, who did you learn it from?

You came to our company
to go through the contract.

But you didn't even

notify the boss when you left.

Where are your manners?

Don't you know the rules?

Mr. Lu, you said this yourself, right?

Someone like me

shouldn't go straight to you, right?

What's wrong? Do I have to report to you again?

You should at least

know basic business etiquette.

I thought

that I just needed to greet you once.

I wouldn't dare

to waste your precious time.

Work has always come first to you.

So, I adhered to your working style

and came back here at once
to finish up the contract

so that Ms. Shi could sign it.

You are getting better and better
with your words.

Do you feel proud of yourself?

Do you think

that this project will be a walk in the park?

We have you to guide us.

Looks like Shi Ying has spoiled you a lot.

It has just been a few months.

But you have been testing me

again and again.

Fine. In order to sober you up

so that you can be more down-to-earth,

from now on,

you don't have to work with Ren Pengfei.

You'll work with me.

What?

[Due to work, I'll temporarily unblock you]

[so that it's easier for us to work together.]

So childish.

Ms. Shi.

Ning Meng.

Joint Capital

has already signed

the joint GP agreement.

We've gone through the contract

with Yuanyuan Real Estate as well.

Okay.

Next, you'll be the go-between
of all three parties.

I'm going to send you a business card.

It's the business card
of the assistant of Yuanyuan's chairman,

Fang Jian.

You just have to contact him

after this.

Okay.

In the beginning,

Yuanyuan will need a lot of data.

As for what they need,

you can find out from Joint Capital.

The process will be full of nitty-gritty details.

You have to be patient.

Don't worry, Ms. Shi.

I'll get going now.

Ning Meng.

This process

will test your communication skills

and coordination skills.

You'll need those skills in future investments.

Master them.

If there's a problem, you can come to me.

Thank you, Ms. Shi.

Good day.

Are you Mr. Fang from Yuanyuan Real Estate?

Good day. Who are you?

Hello.

I am the intermediary from Eaglestone Capital.

I'm in charge of being the intermediary
of this capital increase

and share expansion project.

My name is Ning Meng.

Ms. Ning? Hello.

We managed to get this project

because of Ms. Shi Ying.

After this, we'll have to trouble you

to work hard for us.

No. Don't call me Ms. Ning.

You can just call me Ning Meng.

Okay. Ning Meng.

That sounds so nice.

Ning Meng.

What is your position

in Eaglestone?

I have too many friends on WeChat.

So, I want to make a remark.

This is just my personal habit.

I am the analyst
of the Investment Department in Eaglestone.

An analyst?

No wonder

you sound

so young.

Are you new in the working field?

I've been working for more than three years.

Three years.

Hello?

Ning.

Are you working

under a senior now?

How about this? You should open a group

and add your senior in.

I'll add our company's subordinates

into it as well.

We can just discuss everything in the group.

Okay?

Mr. Fang, I'm sorry.

I don't understand.

Ms. Shi asked me to work on this with you.

Is that a problem for you?

Or I can ask Ms. Shi about it.

Forget it.

Ms. Shi is quite busy.

We both know that.

It'll be a waste of time
to go back and forth on this.

How about this?

I have a conference call later.

I have to hang up now. Talk to you later.

[Ning Meng's Moments]

[Lu Jiming: Ask Yuanyuan real Estate]

[to send us their business license,
financial report, the ID of their legal person,]

[and their article of association.]

[To Lu Jiming: Okay.]

Ya.

Did you just get these?

Yes.

Anything for me?

No.

Okay.

[Ning Meng: Mr. Fang, please remember
to send me the related documents.]

[Fang Jian: Okay.]

[Lu Jiming: Where are the documents?]

[To Lu Jiming: I'm sorry, Mr. Lu.
I'll ask them to hurry up.]

[Eaglestone Capital]

[Receiver: Ning Meng]

Where are those basic documents?

It has been so many days.

Why are you so inefficient?

Mr. Lu, I'm sorry.

I just got the documents.

I'll post them to you right now.

You can't send those documents
through a delivery company.

If those important documents are lost,
who are we to blame?

You are not that far away.

You can personally deliver them to me.

I...

Okay. You can go back now.

Mr. Lu.

Actually, it's normal between two companies

to send our documents through the mail.

What do you mean normal?

For me,

it's normal to deliver

these documents in person.

Fine.

Do you need anything else?

If there's nothing else, I'll get going now.

Wait.

Get me the due diligence questionnaire too.

Okay.

It's not good to sit in the office for too long.

You should exercise more.

Thank you for your care, Mr. Lu.

Don't you think it's too much

to ask for a DDQ?

I have already sent you a copy

of the business license.

You can find everything from it.

Besides,
the company's organizational structure

and the national
enterprise credit information

are all available in the system.

You can find them yourself.

Why do you need us

to fill in the information?

It's like this.

We need the DDQ

for the trust fund

and the asset management.

If you can't provide it,

we can't pass the risk management system.

Fine.

I got it.

Mr. Lu.

For the financial report,

you have to make three copies of it.

Don't forget to ask them to stamp on them.

Okay.

Mr. Lu, do you need anything else?

You can tell me

so that I can get it from them all at once.

That's it.

[To Fang Jian]
(Hello, Mr. Fang.)

(We need three copies of the financial report)

(that are stamped.)

(Thank you.)

Ning.

If you need anything else,

can you tell us about it all at once?

Do you think
that our company's Finance Department

works for you alone?

If you keep doing this,

it'll cost us manpower and time.

Understand?

[To Fang Jian]
(Sorry for the trouble.)

(It won't happen again.)

♪Every time I ever loved♪

♪Fallen leaves, fall in love♪

♪Watching the fallen leaves,

♪Saying that all colors have luster♪

♪Don't want to be bullied, to be brushed off♪

♪And to be treated like a fool♪

♪Breaking through the laws of the world♪
