[Master Of My Own]

[Episode 28]

See you, my friend.

See you.

Senior?

What are you doing here?

What about you?

Why were you here?

Joint Capital had been dissolved.

So I came to see how Mr. Lu was doing.

Is that all?

You got it wrong.

Mr. Lu was...

Did I get it wrong?

Senior,

if you think

I behaved inappropriately,

I apologize.

I won't do it again next time.

You want there to be a next time?

We'll talk after you've calmed down.

Don't leave. Make yourself clear.

What do you want me to say?

I worked at Joint Capital for three years.

Now the company is gone

and everyone is heartbroken!

Do you have to pick a fight with me today?

Are you hurt because of Joint Capital

or Lu Jiming?

Why are you always there for him

whenever something happens to him?

You just can't forget him, can you?

Why do you cherish

this lousy toy?

Yet, you are still denying
that you have feelings for him.

Do you take me for a fool?

I thought you were different from her.

But you're all the same.

You guys like two-timing.

Be honest with me.

When did you start seeing him?

How long has it been?

Did you sleep with him?

Su Weiran, you crossed the line!

Don't go.

Stop!

Let me go!

Don't go!

Let me go!

I said, stop!

Ning Meng,

I'm sorry. I was...

Let me see your face.

Don't touch me.

There are flowers for you.

[Forgive me. Su.]

I need you to follow up with Mr. Hu.

I think it's better to let Ning Meng go.

She's better at handling things like this.

Okay.

I'll let her know.

I'm here to pick you up.

No need.

I know you're still angry at me.

Let's talk in the car, okay?

Please.

Hello, Mr. Su.

Are you here to pick Ning Meng?

Ms. Shi.

I might have to borrow her for a while.

I have to take Ning Meng out
to discuss a project tonight.

I hope you don't mind.

Not at all.

You guys go ahead.

Let's go. The car is outside.

We'll get going now, Mr. Su.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Let's drink.

Do you know I divorced twice?

In the beginning,

everything was perfect.

I was willing to stick

to my choice.

Even if there were some red flags,

I would tell myself to keep persisting.

If I didn't persist,

I'd be disappointed in my choice.

Even you would think that way?

Of course.

I was young too, you know?

I've been through a lot too.

In life,

we keep making choices.

But no one would always make the right choices.

What should we do if we make the wrong choice?

Just change it if it was the wrong choice.

But...

Ning Meng,

I know you're not someone

who would give up easily.

Let me ask you this, then.

Did you stand up

for the projects because they were worth it,

or was it because the persistence itself
is worth it?

Of course, the projects were worth it.

It's the same with love.

Whether you're happy

or forcing yourself,

these feelings matter most.

I just feel

so exhausted.

The truth is,

I used to think

if there's such a thing as persistence

in love.

Senior,

let's meet up tomorrow.

Why did you want to meet me here?

But it's a pretty good place.

The weather today is nice too.

Do you want to drink anything?

I'll buy it for you.

No need.

Are you still angry?

I know I was wrong that night.

I couldn't control myself.

Please believe me.

I won't lose control again next time.

Senior,

let's break up.

Ning Meng, don't say things out of spite.

If it was because of that night,

I promise that I...

You don't have to.

You don't trust me.

And now

I can no longer trust you.

I'm not the only one who was in a vicious circle.

You were in one too. Am I right?

You had no way

to get out of your past trauma.

So you can't help but mistrust someone.

I know you did your best.

So did I.

Perhaps we started dating

at the wrong time.

We're no longer the people we used to be

at the university.

Under our current circumstances,

we'll only hurt each other

if we stay together.

So it's better to break up.

Is it useless

for me to say anything now?

Take care.

[Huadong Hospital]

Okay.

I'll take care of it quickly.

Madam Liu!

What happened?

-Mingming!
-Please make way!

What's wrong with my dad?

Mingming!

Doctor, what's wrong with my dad?

He fell into a coma and had a cardiac arrest.

He needs surgery right away.

Lu, hang in there.

Dad, hang in there.

Wait out here.

Madam Liu.

Mingming, the doctor said

your dad might not pull through this.

[ In Operation]

Hello, Mr. Zeng.

Okay, I'll be right over.

Madam Liu, eat something.

Or your sugar level will drop.

Ning Meng.

How is it?

Still under rescue.

[In Operation]

They're coming out.

Is the patient's family here?

I'm sorry. We did our best.

No, can't you try something else?

Please accept my condolences.

I don't believe it.

[In Loving Memory of Lu Tianxing]

[In Loving Memory of Lu Tianxing]

[In Loving Memory of Lu Tianxing]

[Erected by Lu Jiming, Autumn 2018]

Madam Liu,

have some water.

Without your dad,

this house seems huge.

Why don't we

sell this house?

It's a waste for me to live here alone.

You can also use the money.

Madam Liu,

my dad left this house to you.

So just live here without any worries.

I think this is what my dad wanted too.

Your dad would be

in the study room at this hour.

He'd stay there all night.

Sometimes, I would tell him

to rest early.

But he kept saying he was not tired

that it wasn't...

That it wasn't time

for him to step down.

He just left like this.

This stubborn old man was too mean.

How could he just leave us

without saying anything?

[Jiming, age 10]

[There's a long way ahead. So charge forward.]

[The 15th New Forces Awards Ceremony]

[You must persist! He got it from me!]

[He must have done his homework. Well done.]

[To be known as a national brand
is a sense of duty.]

[It's important to know what not to do.
One should join such talk more.]

[This path is right.]

[It's not about making money,
it's about creating wealth for society.]

[He did what he promised! Like father like son.]

[Eaglestone Capital]

What's wrong?

You look distracted.

Sometimes I feel

it'd have been better if I were more perceptive.

How perceptive do you want to be?

You're perceptive enough.

Weren't you the one

who brought in Mobi and Lehui's projects?

I heard Mobi would be listed
on the National Equities Exchange and Quotations.

Look at Lehui.

Have you seen their data report?

Ms. Shi was so happy about it.

Ning Meng,

what's wrong?

Is something troubling you?

Maybe I was too exhausted recently.

We're going to have some days off
for Mid-Autumn Festival.

Do you have any plans?

I might go home.

I haven't seen my parents for a while now.

You usually worked too hard.

Since you have time,

you should spend time with your parents.

Your phone is ringing.

Yes, Mr. Zeng.

Hey, Ning Meng.

Is Lu Jiming with you?

No.

What's wrong?

He's missing.

We've been searching everywhere for him.

(The number you've dialed is switched off.)

Mr. Zeng, his phone is switched off.

What? It's off?

No one answered just now.

Why did he switch it off now?

What exactly had happened?

He hasn't been doing

very well lately.

He's especially depressed.

I thought he'd come around

after several days.

But when I woke up this morning,

he was missing.

He's not answering his call either.

Tiantian and I have been searching.
But we still couldn't find him.

He won't do anything stupid, will he?

You...

Don't panic.

Let's think of the places

he might go.

We've already searched the places he'd go.

But he was nowhere to be found.

Ning Meng,

can you think

of any other places he might be?

All right. Let's keep in touch.

Sir, please turn the car around.

Mr. Zeng, I found him.

I'll send the location to you.

Mr. Lu,

why didn't you answer your phone?

It's out of battery.

In the past,

I always saw my dad catch huge fish.

I never thought he was impressive at all.

Now that I'm giving it a go,

it's pretty hard.

When I was little,

he'd take me fishing every weekend.

I found it so annoying.

When we reached home at night,

we had to eat the fish he had caught.

It was not tasty at all.

I can no longer eat it even if I want it now.

I said the meanest thing to my dad

when my mom just passed away.

I fought with my dad.

I was so upset

that I said

he didn't deserve to be my dad.

Even if he died,

I wouldn't cry.

You must take care of yourself.

Otherwise, your dad won't go

in peace.

Ning Meng, you were right when you scolded me.

Not only am I bad-tempered,

but I also don't say what I mean
and am presumptuous.

But I know these too late.

Lu Jiming, you've gone too far!

Are you trying to scare us to death?

Wait for me.

How could you just vanish like that?

Keep it down.

Can you not disappear like this?

We thought you were doing something stupid.

Don't worry.

I have a huge debt to pay.

I'm not that irresponsible.

You're not the only one fighting this.

You still have us.

You can't abandon us.

You're done fishing?

How can I fish?

You scared away the fish.

Time to pack up.

You were the one who scared us.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is around the corner.

Why don't you join

Tiantian and me abroad for a few days?

I've bought the tickets.

I'm not going.

You didn't even ask where we were going.

If you're not going, we're not going either.

Let's get out of Shanghai.

It's nice to go out and relax our minds.

Right?

Why not let him come with me?

I'm going home this Mid-Autumn Festival.

If he comes with me,

you don't have to change your plans anymore.

Go back to your home?

Is that okay?

It smells so good.

Try it.

Not bad. It's tasty.

It looks like

I'm not dumb at all.

Of course, you're smart.

Are you sure you're not going home with us?

No.

It's not like I've never been to your home.

But I'm worried

about leaving you here alone.

I have already learned how to cook
so I won't starve.

Moreover,

I have plans.

What plans?

I'm planning to find a job

and send out my resume.

Really?

Didn't you say

I've been resting for too long?

It's time for me to find a job.

I can't just sit idly at home.

So you can go home with your ex-boss

without any worries.

He's having a harder time than me.

Okay.

Beautiful, right?

My hometown is famous

for having lots of rivers, bridges, and wine.

Our wine is made

from glutinous rice.

Glutinous rice can be made into sweet rice wine.

Come.

I...

I'll help you carry them.

Thanks.

This one too.

It's okay.

I can do this myself.

I can just do this.

Glutinous rice can be made

into sweet rice wine.

It's really good.

I was drunk from drinking it when I was a kid.

We'll keep walking this way.

We'll reach my house
after crossing the seventh bridge.

If I knew

it was so toilsome for you to come home,

I would have

let you take more days off.

I'm used to it.

It's the same

for non-Shanghainese working

in Shanghai.

Hardship can never beat us.

It'll only make us stronger.

This bridge is called Bazi Bridge.

There's a Dongshuang Bridge over there.

The bridge in front of our house
is called Jiujie Bridge.

There's a nursery rhyme

about our hometown.

"Row, row. Row to granny's bridge."

What comes after that?

"Row to granny's bridge."

"Granny bought me a sweet bean paste bun for me."

The sweet bean paste bun is from your hometown.

Ours is glutinous rice cake.

After you deep fry the glutinous rice cake

and dip it in osmanthus sugar,

it's truly appetizing.

Let's stop talking and go to have some.

Let's go and get some tasty food.

Is there anyone home?

My baby girl is back!

You could have told me earlier

so I could pick you up.

It's okay.

This is...

Hello, sir and madam.

Mengmeng, why didn't you tell me

that you'd bring your boyfriend home?

So I could do my hair

and look pretty.

Don't speak nonsense.

He's my best friend.

I brought him back

to let you teach him how to make mooncakes.

You must teach him properly.

You're Mengmeng's best friend?

Welcome!

I happened to have prepared food.

Let's go inside.

Okay.

Dad, take these.

Ning, serve the dishes.

Come, give them to me.

Okay, let's go.

This is the last dish.

It's my signature dish, chicken marinated in wine.

What's your name?

My last name is Lu.

Lu,

start digging.

Lu,

Mengmeng didn't tell us

in advance.

So we didn't prepare much.

These are all Mengmeng's

favorite homemade dishes.

Are these to your liking?

Yes, I like them, they're very tasty.

You didn't even have a bite.

Lu, don't be nervous.

Take this as your home.

Okay?

Okay.

Try this one.

Get him one piece.

This is our local specialty,
Rice Vinasse Chicken.

It's marinated with the vinasse of Shaoxing wine.

It's very good.

Okay.

By the way, Lu,

where are you from?

You don't sound like

you're from Jiangzhe.

His family is from Northeast China.

Northeast China?

He's from Northeast China.

He does look like he's from there.

He is bulky.

Mengmeng,

is he from the same hometown

as your ex-boss?

Did Mengmeng tell you

about her ex-boss?

Like how you describe it back in your hometown,

he's

very hateful.

-I mean a nuisance.
-No, loathsome.

He's a loathsome nuisance.

Have some glutinous rice cake.

Your dad has high blood sugar.

He can't eat this.

Right.

You can eat it.

Lu is pretty nice. He's very polite.

He's not like her ex-boss,

who was bad-tempered.

Very bad-tempered.

It's very bad, you know?

You talk as if you know him very well.

Sir,

I'm Ning Meng's ex-boss.

Really?

Enough talking already.

Let's eat.

Well...

Here. Eat a piece of glutinous rice cake.

This is the one I said

about dipping in osmanthus sugar.

Yes, it's really good.

Try it out.

Yes, try it.

The sheets and covers are all new.

If you need anything,

just tell me.

About what they said earlier,

my dad didn't do it on purpose.

It's my fault

for not telling him.

It's okay.

I'm already giving you trouble

for coming here.

No, not at all.

My parents like trouble.

Get some rest.

Okay, you too.

How am I supposed to know?

Let's ask her later.

Come here.

Why did you bring your ex-boss home?

I thought you didn't like him?

That's right.

Did anything happen to him?

He looked dejected when he arrived.

Something happened to his family.

Someone plotted against his dad's company.

To save his dad's company,

Mr. Lu used all

of his savings.

In the end, it was all in vain.

Mr. Lu Senior suffered

from the huge blow and passed away from illness.

The company

Mr. Lu founded

was also dragged down.

He's also in huge debt now.

It's pitiful after hearing all these.

Yes.

He feels dispirited now.

I thought he'd be all alone

in Shanghai,

so I brought him back home

to celebrate the festival with us.

It's okay to celebrate the festival together.

But

you should have told us in advance.

That's right.

Did you see how awkward it was
during dinner just now?

He's right.

I thought you didn't know what awkwardness means.

After hearing what happened,

Lu seems to be

a good and filial kid.

He is filial.

He has good character too.

Yes, he does.

Dad,

can you help me encourage him?

Use your rich experience in life

to enlighten him

so he'll regain his will to fight.

Regain the will to fight.

That's not hard.

Mengmeng, are you helping him so much

because you like him?
