[Master Of My Own]

[Episode 14]

Mr. Lu.

Will you change your mind

if I can settle

the issue of staff placement?

To be honest,

I wouldn't recommend that.

You want a total replacement of your equipment

and rebuild the factory,

which means the factory

is inoperable.

Have you considered

how much loss is that?

Will the number of new orders

match your production capacity

after the upgrade?

Otherwise, the increased production lines

will go to waste.

There's no turning back.

Mr. Yuan, have you thought about these?

You have good intentions.

Working in this industry,
technology is a crucial part.

In the long run,

it's driven by the people.

Right?

Mr. Yuan, how about this?

Regarding your vision of technology reform,

why don't you

take it slow?

Reform the production lines in stages.

Then,

the workers

can have some buffer time.

All right.

I'll consider

your suggestions.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Lu.

Okay.

Don't need to be worried, Mr. Yuan.

You should

have confidence in your product.

Well, at least I'm quite happy with it.

Did Mr. Lu use it before?

I stayed in an express hotel yesterday.

I saw that the beddings they used

are your product.

To be honest,

I think your product

is as good as a five-star hotel.

It's such an honor

to receive that compliment from you.

I'm thinking...

You are lacking

a powerful branding

and marketing strategy.

I understand.

Goodbye, Mr. Yuan.

We'll leave now.

Let's go.

Tidy up. We're going back to Shanghai.

So fast?

We've done collecting data

and we have a conclusion.

What else are we doing here? Travel?

I'm worried about the workers.

I'm afraid Mr. Yuan

may not listen to us.

We are investors.

Giving judgment is our priority.

We told him the truth and our suggestions.

In terms of implementation,

Mr. Yuan has his idea.

[Hotel]

[Fenghuang Tongxing 2nd Issue]

Come in.

Mr. Yuan.

Ning Meng? It's you.

Do you have time?

If you're here to persuade me,

then there's no need to.

Mr. Lu

made it clear that he is not investing.

I'm not here for that.

I've got something to show you.

Take a seat.

Here.

I found this

in a pile of papers.

It was covered in dust.

I don't know if you have seen this before.

[Beginning of the Company]

I have no idea.

As far as I know,

my dad was someone

who focused on the factory wholeheartedly.

He didn't care much about me.

I didn't see him often when I was a kid.

When I scored good marks in the examination

or won some competitions,

only then he'd come home,

look at me with a smiling face,

and have a meal with me.

That was my happiest moment.

That's why you are working like crazy.

You see this as a way for you

to grab his attention.

You wanted to revive Phoenix Factory

because you wanted to prove yourself.

Am I right?

My dad passed away,

but...

this mindset is instilled in my subconscious.

Maybe... I'm not deserving of his love

if I'm not great enough.

How should I put this?

When I was in school,

two things I worried about the most were

parent-teacher meetings
and getting parents' signatures.

But my father

wouldn't love me less

if I got a bad grade.

I think all parents

are the same.

They wouldn't give up or not love their child

just because

they are not great or not perfect enough.

Plus, you are already a successful man.

This day...

I'll always remember this day.

That day was my birthday.

When I was a kid,
my dad didn't celebrate my birthday with me

because he was busy in the factory.

There was a typhoon that day.

They closed the factory.

I thought he would be free

to have a meal with my mom and me.

But he didn't.

He didn't even sit down.

I had a fight with him

because of this.

I told him, "All you care about is money

and your stocks.

Is money that important?"

It was quite offensive.

I guess, what he worried about

wasn't the stocks

but the workers who were dealing with the flood.

I know it now.

But why

didn't he tell me?

I went to study abroad

after this incident.

Until my mom gave me a call last year,

then I rushed back home.

It's been so many years.

I didn't know if he'd see

all my hard work.

I even fantasized

that one day if I expanded the business,

would he come back

to see me?

This is so embarrassing.

I saw the workers' messages

in the Workers' Corner.

I can feel

that they treat Phoenix

as their home.

I think Phoenix is also a very important family

to your father.

[Workers' Corner]

He never gave up

on any workers.

[Phoenix Home Textile]

I especially love one of his quotes.

He said, "Home textile industry

is an industry of giving grace to the people.

The industry is meant

to bring warmth to people.

So, working in this industry,

you shall be a people person."

Mr. Yuan, I'm still fresh in this industry

and I'm not as experienced as Mr. Lu,

so I don't know if I'm saying the right thing.

Well, I think

this is like sailing a ship together.

If you want a large ship

to sail fast and steady,

then everyone on board

must be on the same channel.

No one shall miss a beat
and no one shall rush a beat.

You have to work together.

[Rain or shine, stand shoulder to shoulder
with Phoenix -- Yuan Shupeng]

[Awards]

[Hangzhou Phoenix Home Textile Industry Co., Ltd.]
[Phoenix Textile Foreign Trading]

I'm sorry

to make you come for nothing.

I disagree.

At least, we got to understand more
about Phoenix Home Textile

and appreciate its value.

You're right.

I should have faith in my product.

As long as the quality is good,

there's nothing to fear.

I've figured it out regarding technology reform.

One step at a time.

Allow the workers to adapt to it

and prevent mass layoffs.

Anyway,

thanks for your suggestion.

Don't mention it.

I mean, I'm not investing now.

Maybe there will be

room for cooperation in the future.

Sure.

Ning Meng, thank you too.

You helped me to retrieve
the most precious thing.

You're most welcome, Mr. Yuan.

So will you still issue

"Fenghuang Tongxing"?

[Fenghuang Tongxing]

Of course.

But no longer on paper.

We'll keep it updated on our official account.

Remember to follow us.

Sure!

Okay.

Rest assured, Mr. Yuan.

The door of Joint Capital
and Eaglestone Capital

is always open for you.

All right, goodbye then.

Till we meet again.

Bye.

Bye.

You are very daring.

The door of Joint Capital
and Eaglestone Capital

is always open for you.

Do you own the companies?

I'm just saying what your hidden message is.

All the suggestions are from me.

Why did he thank you?

He said you helped him to retrieve
the most precious thing.

What is it?

It's a secret.

[Hotel]

Mr. Zeng.

Lu Mingming.

This is where you stayed for these days?

What's wrong?

Wow,

what an eye-opener.

Ning Meng, are you feeling better?

Yes. Thanks for asking, Mr. Zeng.

Why are you here?

I'm here to go through
the thick and thin with you.

Why?

Why don't you come later?

Are you done here?

Yes.

Great! Mine is done too.

How about this?

Let's go chill somewhere else tonight.

Let's celebrate.

We canceled the investment plan.

There's nothing to celebrate.

Let's celebrate saving money.

I know of a great place.

Let's go have fun today.

What do you think?

No, thanks.

I think it's a good idea.

We worked so hard,

so let's relax.

Are you feeling so much better

and you can mess around?

I went to the convenience shop

to get some information.

I bought a lot of snacks and beers.

It's hard to bring them back with us.

Let's finish them.

I'm the best at this.

While I was waiting for you,

I found an amazing place.

A perfect place for a spring night like this.

What do you think? Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Yes, you shouldn't invest.

I agree with you.

Although we didn't invest,

Mr. Yuan

seems to accept Mr. Lu's advice.

I think that's great.

Phoenix is getting better.

Sure. Cheers!

Zeng Yuhang.

What kind of place is this?

Wait.

Mate, can you be more romantic?

Look at the view, feel the breeze. Just enjoy.

This is as good as the Bund.

Go home and get your eyes treated.

You are so blind.

You are as blind as a bat.

Ning Meng is such a great staff

and you are scaring her off.

You must be regretting it now.

Childish.

I'm too annoyed to talk to you.

Look at his bad temper.

I'm the only one who can stand him.

Mr. Zeng, I've always wanted to ask you.

It's okay. You can ask me anything.

What is it?

How did you and Mr. Lu become friends?

Your personality and temper

are so different from his.

Well, it's an unfortunate fate.

You never met the young version of him.

When he was a kid...

Are you talking about me?

Wait,

didn't you say you were annoyed?

Fine, I'll say it out loud.

I used to admire Lu Mingming

when he was a kid.

Lu Mingming, Tiantian, and I

went to the same junior high school.

I used to fool around.

Getting into a fight, skipping classes,

all beer and skittles.

Then I offended

a group of gangsters.

They stopped me at the back of the school.

He happened to pass by and saw what happened,

and then we became friends.

Don't fast forward this.

Tell her in detail about that incident.

Sure, in detail.

He didn't want to help me.

But I was so badly beaten,

so he stepped up.

Let me tell you.

This is the first time

I met someone who is good at studying

and can be so harsh and bold.

He literally beat the gangster

and they ran.

Since then,

he has been my boss.

A hero is saving the damsel.

More like a zero.

Since then,

I wanted to be friends with him.

Guess what.

He told me I wasn't worthy of being his friend.

He despised me.

I still despise you now.

Well, me too!

I'm telling a story.

Don't cut in.

After spending time with him,

I've changed.

My grades improved.

Do you think this can be counted as
changing to be better?

Since then,

I taught him to be good
and he taught me to be bad.

Hey, why didn't you mention

all the happy moments I brought to you?

Ning Meng, I'm not sure

an obedient girl like you

can understand this.

Do you think

I'm an obedient girl?

Of course.

Did you rebel too?

No way.

Well, not as bad as you.

But more or less.

When I was a kid,

back in primary school,

my dad went bankrupt.

We were so poor.

I used to climb over the wall

to help my classmates to buy snacks

to earn some pocket money.

And when I went back,

I stuffed all the snacks

in my pocket

like a kangaroo and I always got caught.

I didn't know you had been there.

You mentioned bankruptcy.

If you are comfortable...

It's okay if you don't want to talk about it.

No, it's fine.

Well, when I was in primary school,

my dad started a business.

He was in the rechargeable battery business.

However,

it wasn't a smooth journey.

When he was about

to develop the new technology,

the financial chain was disrupted.

So my dad went bankrupt.

Back then, all of our savings

were used to pay back the debt,

and we were still in debt.

You might find it hard to imagine.

But my parents

never bought a single new shirt for years.

They only spent the money on me.

When I was about to graduate from primary school,

we finally paid off the debt.

Then it got better.

You were so into investment.

Is it because of this?

I especially remember that moment.

My dad was extremely depressed.

But,

he never

vented on my mom or me.

I was too young back then.

All I knew was

if we had investment,

then we wouldn't have been in trouble.

Ning Meng,

I think you are already sailing

in the investment world.

You can do this!

I have faith in you.

Cheers!

Well, you guys can carry on.

Lu Mingming, give me your room card.

I need to make a phone call.

Why can't you do it here?

It's windy here. Hurry up, I'm cold.

Now you know it's cold.

What a bad location you chose.

Hello?

Yes, I'm listening.

Listen to his voice.

Disgusting.

I guess it's a girl.

Hey,

your parents are a great couple.

They conquered such a major crisis

together.

Well, they had to.

My mom told me

there are only three of us in the family
and we must stick together.

Ning Meng, to be honest,

I envy you.

For as long as I can remember,

my family is never at peace.

My parents quarrel every day.

My father only thinks about work.

From his point of view,

home is only a place to sleep.

My mother couldn't take it.

She tried to endure,

and then they'd fight when she's had enough.

This had been going on for ten years.

When they were sick of that,

there was no more spark between them.

Divorce was the only way.

I was only ten.

When my mother was still around,

I was tired of their fight.

Then my mother left us.

My father and I

talked less than three words a day.

My home became so quiet.

(Anyway, I never felt right.)

There's no way we can communicate.

I can't live like this anymore!

Whatever!

Fine!

How about our kid?

Kid? Don't you dare use my kid as an excuse.

I'm not.

He'll not be happy with you.

Listen. If you want to leave, just go!

My kid is with me.

What are you looking at?

Did you finish your homework?

You never pay attention to your study.

Your mind is everywhere.

How could you score a good grade?

Hey! What's that action?

You're using a headset now?

Stand right there. Go back.

Dad, can you and Mom stop fighting?

Then Mom will not leave.

Stop messing with the adult's stuff.

Score a good grade,

then I'll buy you a new one.

Mom.

I ranked first in class again!

Really?

Mingming is awesome.

What do you want as a gift?

Mom, I don't want a gift.

I want you to come back.

Why are you standing there?

Come over and have dinner.

Do not throw your bag like this.

Understand?

Is my mom not coming back?

Your mom left.

She is not coming back.

There'll be only two of us.

But remember,

since there'll only be the two of us,

man up!

Do not call your mom ever again.

Do you hear me?

No crying.

[Dear mom: I missed you!]

Did she reply?

I've sent so many letters.

She didn't reply to me at all, not even one.

Why?

Did she really leave you?

She never received my letters.

Later I realized

that she passed away

when I was in junior high school.

It was cancer.

After my mom left,

I was the only one left in the house.

At night, when I was doing my homework,

I saw a boy who was my age

living across the building.

He was like me.

He always did his homework by the windowsill.

I saw his mom

come out from the kitchen,

scolding him with a spatula in hand.

To be honest, I was jealous of him.

If my mom was here,

I'd be happy even if

she scolded me all day.

Your mom would never scold you.

She would want you to be happy.

Well, I'm happy most of the time.

As long as my dad doesn't pick a fight.

That's it.

Well, I think your father

is used to being strict.

He doesn't know how to show his tenderness.

You too.

You don't talk about it,

but you've been working so hard.

It's because

you hope he'll be proud of you, right?

Maybe, a little?

Go fishing with him if you get the chance.

Forget it.

You know

about his fishing skill.

After two hours of fishing,
he still couldn't catch a single fish.

Do you want us

to stare at each other?

Then put a bunch of fish

in the pond.

I'm sure you'll catch at least one.

We've finished all the beers. That's quick.

I'll go get some beers.

Is the floor that slippery?

I'm feeling tipsy.

I think I'm calling it a day.

I'm feeling dizzy. I want to go back.

Why are you on my bed?

Wait, what's wrong with you?

There's no empty room!

Where else can I go?

Come on, we slept together before.

It's not like

we haven't slept in the same bed before.

Are you out of your mind?

Don't you know I have mysophobia?

I don't.

When did you come back?

Why didn't I know?

I can't remember.

I drank too much last night.

With that amount of beer,

you and Ning Meng can be drunk?

Pack your thing. We are going back to Shanghai.

Okay, it's done.

Morning.

Ning Meng, are you feeling okay?

Mr. Lu said he was black-out drunk.

I don't know.

I was wasted.

My head still hurts a little.

Check out, please.

Okay.

I wonder how much did you drink.

There were only six cans of beer when I left.

You can't hold your liquor at all.

We're done here. Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go, Ning Meng.

Come with us.

[Cashier]
It's okay, you can leave first.

I'm taking high-speed rail.

Come on, we are neighbors.

We can drop you. Let's go.

Let's take a group photo.

Group photo? Lame.

What's wrong with you?

Come on.

To memorize our first work trip,

first hotel experience,

first drinking session.

Your first experience of taking care of the sick.

First...

What else?

I guess there are a lot of first-time experiences.

Right? Let's capture the moment.

Here.

Here, one...

Come closer!

Here, one, two, three. First time!

Why did you send me a photo?

It makes me feel like I'm checking in on you.

Let me know when you reach the city.

Seriously.

The destiny between two people

is indeed destined.

Thousand of words

are no match for a single physical contact.

Then the feeling grows so quick.

And things worked out!

Can both of you talk?

I'm sleepy.

Mr. Lu,

Ms. Shi wants to call a meeting with you

to talk about the due diligence report.

What time works best for you?

Anytime next week.

Up to Ms. Shi.

Okay.

You come with me.

Why?

To learn.

Fine, learn.

Lu Mingming,

you kicked me off the bed this morning

and you asked what I was doing on your bed.

Who did you think I am?

I'm thinking

there are only three of us.

Can you just keep your mouth shut for a moment?

Did you rent your mouth?

Would you waste your money if you don't use it?

[Radio]

♪Don't hide when I kiss you♪

♪Don't..."

The song is not nice. Switch to another channel.

I think it's nice.

Fine! I'll change.

♪A deep kiss♪

♪Makes you forget the unhappy past♪

♪No one can...♪

Why did you turn it off?

I'm sleepy. I want to sleep.

Here, Ning Meng.

Thanks, Mr. Zeng.

Don't mention it. We are neighbors.

Hello!

Here.

Ning Meng, you came back with them too.

Why are you here?

Why can't I be here?

I'm not here for you.

I'm here for Hanghang.

Let me make the official announcement.

Moving forward, Tiantian belongs to me.

I knew it. Something was off

when we were in Hangzhou.

It's great that you both are together.

One less problem

for the marriageable age people.

When did this happen?

Last time when we were at the RV park

and you were so drunk.

Then both of us, accidentally,

held hands.

Then...

Then we held each other's hands.

And we got together.

That's it?

Why make it complicated?

It's not love if you make it complicated.

Right?

Exactly.

Mr. Zeng, you mentioned fate

and physical contact just now.

Are you talking about you both?

Of course!
I can't be talking about you guys, right?

Let's go. Let's eat.

I bought you a lot of food.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Bye.

See you.

Bye.

Well...

I...

Let me know beforehand after Ms. Shi Ying decides

the meeting's details.

Okay, bye.

Mengmeng!

It's confirmed

that He is going to Shanghai.

Which company is he going to?

An insurance company.

He's the head of the Shanghai branch.

Does it mean

that you are coming too?

Yes, get ready to welcome me.

When are you coming?

I'm not sure about the details,

but I guess it will happen soon.

All right, I'll pick you up.

Finally!

I know! I miss you so much!

Mengmeng, how was your business trip?

Is everything all right?

Well, it is...

But...

I have a question.

Okay, what is it?

I... One of my friends...

My friend...

She... She and her male colleague

were drunk

and they touched each other accidentally.

Their faces touched.

Then she told me

the incident kept coming into her mind.

Well,

I don't know how to deal with this.

I don't have experience.

How about you analyze the situation for her?

What do you mean?

What do you mean by their faces touched?

It's considered a "touch"
if she knocked him in the forehead.

It's considered a "touch" too if she kissed him.

Make it clear.

Kissed.

They kissed.

Mengmeng, it's other people's matter,

but why are you blushing?

I'm not blushing.

I'm hot. I just got home.

I'm hot.

Hello?

The connection is bad here.

I'll switch to audio.

Please continue.

Okay.

After listening to what you said,

I guess she likes that guy.

If they kissed

and she didn't show disgust

or uncomfortable,

furthermore, if she recalls that moment,

I'm sure she has feelings for him.

No, that's impossible.

Mengmeng, why do I feel like

you are making this "friend" up?

Is this "friend"

yourself?

Tell me! What happened?

Nothing.

I've told you that it wasn't me.

It's my friend.

I'm never going to ask

this kind of question on behalf of others again.

That's embarrassing.

All right. I get it now.

I'll tell my friend

about your thoughts.

Bye!

Hey, make it clear!
