[Almost Lover]

[Episode 24]

Our price was several hundred dollars higher than Castle Peak's, the difference of which was subsidized by Director Xiao.

Alright. I have a meeting.

I just wanted to vacate it quickly with a little more money.

Got it.

There was nothing wrong with Lizhen's care. At least the location of the settlement was acceptable.

Old Sun just happened to have a heart attack.

Most importantly, we need to find Mr. Pan and figure out who gave him orders.

Where are you going?

I'm going to Castle Peak to ask the elderly people who were close to Old Sun

and see if any of them knows where his nephew is.

Do you know where his nephew lives? [Castle Peak Nursing Home]

No idea. Why are you looking for him? So you can retaliate?

Old Wan,

do you know how to get ahold of his nephew?

No.

Why don't you think again for me?

I really don't.

Old Luo,

well, do you know where Old Sun can be?

Since Old Sun doesn't want to see you after being discharged from the hospital, there must be a reason.

How was it? Did you get any information after trying hard?

They all seriously believed that I was a dishonest journalist, so I couldn't get anything. What about you?

When the old director was still in charge, he'd have activities for the family day every month.

He'd put photos and a summary into the compilation.

When someone took over, they stopped the activities and there was no access to the information.

If we can find it, maybe there's some useful information.

Don't you feel cold? The window's open.

It won't shut.

You won't get your hands on the formula because I made it specially for He Xiaoran.

Blue tansy, vetiver and sandalwood.

The fragrance that Sui Mingwei gave you was made of essential oils that help you calm down and sleep.

Are you suffering from sleep deprivation? How come I didn't know?

What?

Do you think I have a hard time falling asleep because of our breakup?

Being swamped with work, I haven't been rested. Don't overthink. It has nothing to do with you.

Great.

- What are you doing? - Sorry about that.

Let me see.

[Have someone bring an electric heater to the library.]

Deputy General Manager Lin, you seem in a great mood today.

If someone lands on their feet at work, they may be praised for their ability.

But if a couple gets back together, it's like witnessing a miracle.

The most beautiful thing in the world is love.

Did you get inspired by the browsing data?

I happen to have something for you. Prepare an electric heater and bring it to the library.

Sure, I'll get it done now.

Director Xiao, Sister Xiaoran, I brought you an electric heater.

Good.

Thank you.

No problem.

Oh, Director Xiao, the preparation team has a budget proposal for you to sign.

Go ahead. I can handle it here.

I can help Sister Xiaoran look for information on the family day.

Okay.

Sister Xiaoran, I'll search this side.

Sister Xiaoran.

Huh?

Actually, Director Xiao really cares about you. He doesn't say it, but we all see it clearly.

You know what? When the news went viral that night,

Director Xiao ignored the PR department's objection and wanted to clarify right away

the relationship between you and Castle Peak.

Do you know how important the Castle Peak project is to Director Xiao?

If Castle Peak is gone, Jifeng will be gone too.

Why?

In order to raise the fees for rebuilding Castle Peak, Director Xiao put up Jifeng as collateral.

In recent meetings, they've been saying it's do or die.

Now we have to deal with this.

Director Xiao and the preparation team have been working day and night.

Why did he put it up as collateral? Did Yunlan refuse to pay?

Director Xiao is separated from Yunlan. I don't know the details.

Okay. Take another look.

Sure, no problem.

Take another look at this. Check it. Check this part.

Director Xiao, we're planning to

revise it based on the law.

You must double check it. Revise everything based on the law.

- Alright, just fine-tune it. - Okay.

How was it? Was it satisfactory?

I'll tell you what, I spent a fortune on it.

I bought you this for a higher price.

As far as I know,

Sister Xixi doesn't spend her money for nothing.

How could you say that about your mom?

I'm not going to make you pay for

tricking Director Xiao.

Go on. And then what?

Castle Peak is struggling,

so we need to help them out, make a good impression

and strive to win their business. Right?

Castle Peak has been severely criticized. Why do you still want their business?

You imbecile. I'm not scolding you,

but what do I always teach you?

You need to have great vision to do business.

Take one step and plan ten steps ahead.

How come you don't get it?

Yes, now he's separated from the family,

but it's only a matter of time when he makes a comeback.

If we can join him,

we won't have to worry about making money.

What do you mean?

Separated from the family?

[Castle Peak Nursing Home]

Sir, can I get six lattes with one of them using non-fat milk

and espresso?

You share the same taste with the owner of Castle Peak.

He drinks that too. I didn't have non-fat milk at first,

but I bought it specially for him.

I even asked him,

"You're not fat. Why do you drink non-fat milk?"

He said he'd picked that up from his girlfriend.

He's used to it.

- President Zhao, what are you doing? - I've heard the news about Castle Peak.

I came here to see if you need help.

President Zhao, you do have many connections and keep abreast of news.

Xiao Qi, your dad passed away

and your brother pushed you out here.

If it happened to average people,

they would just give up and run away already.

I can't believe that you're still in the mood

to do business.

Aren't you Journalist He?

I'm sorry for getting you involved in this.

But if you stay with him,

in theory, you'll get hurt for sure.

- I dare you. - I don't.

I'm a law-abiding citizen. What do I dare to do?

But Xiao Qi, I want to tell you

that many accidents happen

without giving you a heads-up first.

This is what I have to say to you too.

Oh, your brother and Fei'er are very obedient.

If you finally come to your senses,

I'll save you a good spot.

I'll go now.

Uncle Xiao...

When did it happen?

A few days after you left Hupu.

Why didn't you tell me?

Many things

happened back then.

Yunlan, Deju,

and the funeral

were all in a mess.

I didn't know how to break it to you.

Even if I did,

it would sound like an excuse.

Nobody thinks of this kind of thing as an excuse.

I remember you told me

he wasn't in good health.

- I didn't expect– - He recovered at first.

That day the doctor said he suffered from acute heart failure.

It happened so suddenly

he couldn't be saved in time.

But I'm aware

that Zhao Mingxuan did it.

Why did he?

Does your brother know it?

It's been a while.

- What? - Talking with you peacefully like this.

I talked so much before I realized it.

I shouldn't have told you.

Do you think you shouldn't have told me all this?

Xiaoran, Castle Peak is the battlefield for me and Zhao Mingxuan,

- and I don't want you to get involved. - But I'm already here.

When the truth comes out, just go back and be a journalist.

Stay away from this place.

The future of this place will only get harder.

I have legs. Nobody can stop me

from going wherever I want to go.

Don't you know

the worse a place is, the more it's watched by journalists?

Whether it's you or Zhao Mingxuan, as long as I see you committed crimes,

I won't let you get away with it.

Do you mean when He Xiaoran was waiting for Xiao Shangqi,

his dad passed away?

So it's not that he didn't come back, but he couldn't come back.

It was just an excuse.

He couldn't come back? If he couldn't, he could've at least made a phone call or sent a WeChat message.

What's the point of keeping it all to himself until now?

I don't think he cares about He Xiaoran.

Since you don't find it a big deal, why did you come here looking anxious?

Look, since he doesn't need her and other important matters take priority over her,

why did he come back and get in a complicated relationship with her?

If I tell Xiaoran the truth,

do you think she'll stick to the breakup decision?

Sui Mingwei, I've been meaning to tell you this.

Don't you think you've been trying way too hard lately?

Let's put the truth aside.

What are you going to say when Xiaoran comes back in a bit?

Are you going to question her, "Why did Xiao Shangqi pick up the phone when I called you?"

Or "Where did you go this late?"

"Were you with him?"

Dude, He Xiaoran used to be a relationship radio host.

No matter how hard you try to hide it, there's no way she didn't notice it at all.

If she asks you now, are you going to confess to her?

What if she rejects you again?

I'm aware that you've really cared about her recently,

so I didn't talk to you much.

But are you going to keep doing it?

If you hide it, you're going to suffer.

If you don't hide it,

all I can say is that the consequence will probably be more painful.

Director Xiao, I've arranged a car for you. Are you going home?

I'm going back to Jifeng.

Haven't you been going home?

That's fine. Jifeng is in the city anyway.

Why don't you both go back together?

I'm good. I've called a taxi.

Director Xiao, are you going back?

I've asked about the electricity purchase card. Don't need to renew it.

Just call the electricity provider, get the card number and pay the bill.

You lost the electricity purchase card?

Have you tried to look for it? It should be in the drawers.

Where is it?

It's in a blue bag with all kinds of cards.

I'll go back and look.

It should still be there. Search the drawers thoroughly.

My taxi is here. I'll go now.

Why do I feel like

your relationship with her has improved greatly?

You're back.

Did Sui come back?

He left.

- I... - I...

You...you...you speak first.

You speak.

Sui just learned something

about Xiao Shangqi and wanted me to tell you.

Xiao Shangqi couldn't come back from Hupu this time because...

because... his dad passed away

and he fell out with his company.

This was what I wanted to say.

You know about it?

Tell me what you think.

All I have to say is it's too late.

His darkest days are over.

Even words of consolation don't mean anything now.

When people struggle, they usually want to lean on someone.

But he wanted to push others away.

You may say he changed significantly.

In my opinion, the change may not be him,

but his surroundings.

Does someone feel bad for him?

Why would I feel bad for him?

He chose to get rid of me at first.

Do you still like him?

[Electricity Purchase Card]

I've searched all this already. It has information about everyone

but Old Sun.

Why is this window open again?

The windows in the library are like this. They won't shut.

It really won't close.

Sun Zhengyi. [Document folder]

This is it.

The summary of him is neater and tidier than others.

This page is long.

This was his first time seeing his nephew's wife.

He wrote a lot.

Hello, I've found something.

I went to Mrs. Pan's apartment and found their address,

but their neighbors said they had moved to a new home.

They even always show off on WeChat Moments how good their new neighborhood is.

So this is Mr. Pan's new home.

Journalist He, look,

Pipi is recovering very well.

I do appreciate you reporting that unscrupulous clinic,

otherwise more animals would've been hurt.

Now the whole industry puts great emphasis on this.

They've put more facilities in the community for people with disabilities.

Thank you, Journalist He.

How thoughtful.

Let's go and buy a mango cake.

When she feels annoyed, she can eat her favorite dessert.

Also, you told me that our laundry detergent is running out.

I can get it for you along the way. What brand is that? It smells good.

When are you going to stop making contributions?

When she falls in love with you?

Why did you say that?

When I get sick of her, I'll let her go.

Poor thing.

For example, you don't like mangoes at all,

but you still have to buy a mango cake.

Get out of here.

We'll go after we're done eating.

You go ahead.

- It seems to be Mr. Pan's car. - Let's go.

- Wife, watch it, watch it. - Mr. Pan, Mr. Pan.

- How did you find this address? - Mr. Pan,

I thought we'd settled the matter. Why did you spread the disinformation?

What are you talking about? You... You accepted bribes.

And you. Who knows if you'd screw people up

in order to save 500 yuan every month?

I'll tell you what, you colluded with each other.

I'm doing justice by exposing you both.

I moved to a new home to avoid retaliation from you.

Look, you brought drama all the way here.

Are you going to stop now?

Mr. Pan, I'll just cut to the chase.

Did someone promise you a reward for doing this?

- You're making it up! - The average price for an apartment here is 20,000 yuan.

The monthly rent is 8,000 yuan. Where did you get the money from?

That's my nephew's bonus for being an excellent employee.

- Do you understand? - He already quit.

The day before you reported it.

- You quit? - I...

I... I'm just rich!

It's none of your business where my money came from. I–

- Get out of here. - Mr. Pan, I know you may be taken advantage of.

When the truth comes out, you'll have to take the consequences of what you did.

Instead of waiting until that moment, why don't you work with us to clear it up?

I know you're a wise man.

Don't do anything that makes your regret later.

Think it over.

Did someone really pay you for that?

- Hello? - Hello, Director Xiao.

We can't make the dismissal happen today, right?

Director Wang wants to sign an additional release of liability.

- Sign it for him. - Okay.

Does it have to do with Uncle Xiao

that you insisted on dismissing them today?

After my dad passed away, he left behind an unfinished transfer agreement,

which was for Castle Peak.

80% of the terms are done.

Did he also decide the date of dismissal?

Did you take over Castle Peak to fulfill his last wish?

Not just that. Castle Peak was part of Deju,

but it was sold at a low price, which was quite suspicious.

My dad did it secretly. After Zhao Mingxuan learned about it,

he immediately came over and tried to defeat me.

Whether it's Mr. Pan or Director Wang,

he's the plotter.

He did all this to stop me

from acquiring and rebuilding Castle Peak.

I think there's a

hidden secret somewhere.

I haven't figured it out yet.

I can only take one step at a time.

If you had cleared up Castle Peak right away

instead of protecting me,

maybe you could've followed the terms and finished the dismissal today.

Are you worried about me?

I don't want to owe you anything.

Xiaoran.

Thank you.

Is it hard for you

to tell me everything like you did today?

I just think that how great it would be if we had this conversation sooner.

Why are you here?

Xiaoran, let's go home.

What are you up to?

This is a home theater tonight.

- What movie are we watching? - A blockbuster.

Come sit with us. Sui bought this mango cake specially for you.

- Hello? - Journalist He, an old man, Mr. Sun, wishes to talk to you.

- Hurry up. - Almost done.

- Who do you mean? - Old Sun from Castle Peak Nursing Home.

Tell him I'm on my way.

- Where are you going? - Go ahead and watch. I'm going out for a bit.

Where are you going?

Journalist He, look,

Pipi is recovering very well.

I do appreciate you reporting that unscrupulous clinic,

otherwise more animals would've been hurt.

- Journalist He. - Old Sun.

- Journalist He. - This old man keeps asking for you.

I said you'd been terminated, but he insisted on waiting here.

- So I had to call you. - Thank you.

My nephew took my phone away.

We also moved to a new home overnight.

I did feel like something was probably going to happen.

But look, I could leave the nursing home

and move in with my nephew

in my twilight years.

When something good's about to take place,

people would rather ignore everything else. That's why I said nothing

until you came over.

Is Mr. Pan willing to work with us then?

Journalist He,

can you

pin the blame for the disinformation on me?

My nephew has a wife and a kid to take care of. If they find out the truth,

look, can you say I gave a false report?

Let me take all the consequences.

I'm already old. I've lived enough.

Old Sun, I'm the one who was wrongly suspended.

Why does it seem like you're the one who was coerced?

If you don't agree, I'll find the boss with the name Xiao.

Old Sun, it's not like that.

Let me explain...

If you really want to help your nephew,

it's no use begging anyone. You have to reply on yourself.

How did it go?

I've asked the team to investigate it.

Old Sun secretly photograph the chat record with Mr. Pan and that man.

That person is probably the mastermind behind it all.

Director Xiao, we've finish investigating.

This person is the first person to connect with the media and started the rumors.

- Go find him. - I'll notify our legal department.

Don't forget what we've promised Old Sun.

Once we find the truth, we give Mr. Pan a chance.

This man caused Qingshan to be suspended, he could do the same to you.

I'd said there is no reason to be soft hearted towards someone who has no bottom line and selfish.

Everyone makes mistakes. Besides, I personally think

the mistake he committed is not that unforgivable.

Then what mistake is unforgivable?

Here is the latest development in the case of collusion with nursing home and the media

In order to attract attention to themselves,

Netizen fabricated false information and slander journalists.

At first, I thought I could take advantage of the situation.

Create a wave of publicity.

Once it's trending...

I'm here to apologize to the Qingshan Nursing Home

and the journalists who were involved in this incident.

I'm sorry.

I am willing to bear all legal responsibilities that comes my way.

This kid, he apologize pretty quick.

It's just a cover.

[WMG TV Station News]

Director Zhang, Director Zhou.

Here's the story in a nutshell.

Mr. Pan has clarified the matter.

When can I be reinstated?

Aren't you going to hold him accountable?

He'd already apologized to me.

Besides, it depends on Old Sun and the children.

I'm willing to forgive him.

After this incident, take it as lessons learned.

As an investigative reporter, you already have too many reasons to be attacked.

Don't give them any reason to attack you.

I will keep that in mind in the future.

But if you're afraid to be caught in the act,

how can you insist being a journalist?

You've mentored a good reporter.

All right, come to work tomorrow.

Thank you, Director Zhang.

Such a small thing and you can't even handle it.

Fortunately, I've prepared in advance.

What is President Wang saying now?

He wants more money to pay for his breach of contract with Xiao Shangqi.

He's trying to push our limits.

Push our limits?

Then let's find someone to reason with him.

- We're forbidden from working with Qingshan? - Yes.

Damangshan Union has issued a notice.

If we supply products to Qingshan and Jifeng,

we'll lose all partnerships

with hotels and brands under their wing.

Director Xiao is in a fix.

- Isn't he from Hupu's Yunlan. - Yes.

I heard he was kicked out.

I've done business in Wusu for years.

This is the first time I'm being threatened so ridiculously.

I, Fan Xixi, won't just abide by the will of others.

What can you do?

What will I do?

Fight them.

We just need one person

to stand up for Wusu's local businesses.

They barge in without a care for our methods and try to order us around.

They' aren't playing by the rules.

Let's go. Do you know what you want to eat?

Let's celebrate my return to work. It's my treat.

Save your money. We're eating out today.

Let's get a free meal.

My mom wants to treat me to a feast.

I said I'm meeting you two, so she asked you guys to come along too.

You guys can go ahead. Let's eat together next time.

Let's go together!

Come along. You don't have to feel uneasy.

Sister Xixi often treats us to good food.

- Exactly. Come on. - It's no big deal. Don't be such a stickler.

We're family.

What do you think, Director Xiao? Did anything catch your eye?

Most of these products are from top-tier local brands.

They look great and have impressive functions.

Most importantly, they have amazing reviews online.

I have used this. It is indeed not bad.

It's exactly what we're looking for.

That's great. I told you.

There isn't anything I can't resolve in Wusu.

Damangshan Union pulled all those unsavory tricks.

Don't worry. If you're in trouble, look for me immediately.

Thank you.

- Mom - You came.

Why is he here?

What are you saying?

Director Xiao is my distinguished guest.

Besides, isn't it great for youngsters to hang out together?

- This is...? - Hello aunty.

- Hi. - Mom, this is Xiaoran, who I often talk about.

You are Xiaoran!

Xiao Wei talks about you very often.

Today, I finally got to meet you.

Hui Hui, you live together, don't you?

- Thank you for taking care of Hui Hui. - It's nothing.

We look out for each other.

What a coincidence!

- Are you acquainted? - We're good friends.

You're just pretending to be good friends with her.

Xiaoran, sit.

Come, Director Xiao, sit.

Ok.

I love being with all you young people.

Xiaoran, I've always wanted to meet you.

You're from Hupu, right?

You're not familiar with things over here.

Later, if you need anything, come find me.

- Thank you, Aunty. - Why are you calling me that?

- Call me Sister Xixi. - Everyone calls her Sister Xixi.

Be good.

Sister Xixi, there's really no need.

I've already lived in Wusu for years. I'm familiar with this place.

You don't have to be so courteous with me!

Our family motto is, "More friends bring more opportunities."

In the future, I'll help you.

Here.

Director Xiao.

Business is recognizing blessings in misfortune

- and finding the silver lining. Don't you agree? - Yes.

I think we can do away with the old suppliers.

Even with only local suppliers,

- we can still achieve great success. - You're right.

- In the future, my son will be joining us in our partnership. - Sure.

No thanks. I don't need it.

Kid, what are you blabbering?

My son lacks humility.

However, in this small place,

it's easy to gain attention with small success.

It's easy to become arrogant.

However, he has a good number of awards.

Especially in swimming, soccer, and ice hockey.

Oh right. Especially in basketball.

He's an amazing player.

He has many female fans.

Did you know that, Xiaoran?

You're hiding your talents.

He's very dashing when he plays basketball.

I heard you like sports too.

I think there is a basketball court outside. You all can play after lunch.

No, I don't think I can.

Sister, playing basketball after eating harms the stomach.

Director Xiao, do you want to try?

Xiao Shangqi knows how to play basketball.

I never saw him play after my graduation.

I bet something in him snapped today.
