[Almost Lover]

[Episode 29]

Xiao Xian,

just wait and see. I won't let you both ruin my dad's achievements!

Good. From now on, we'll make a clean break.

We'll fulfill our dad's last wishes in our own ways.

Is that okay?

The act that you both put on was excellent.

The setup... finally comes in handy.

A tough battle is coming.

Don't worry. As long as you both work together, you'll be able to pull it off.

I'll go out for some fresh air.

Xiaoran, why don't you join me for a coffee?

Sure.

Did you come to see those elderly people?

I've handed the evidence to Xiao Shangqi.

He Xiaoran, I'm seriously letting go this time.

Oh, do you remember when we were in high school,

we'd hike in the mountains and watch the sunrise?

Back then you all ran so fast in a race,

I couldn't catch up at all.

Then I fell and grazed my knees.

You all finally stopped and helped me get up.

We even made a camp for the wounded

in the mountain where the last person arrived.

What do you want to say?

Actually the only people who keep walking forward at the same pace are you both,

while I stay in the same place. I've fallen behind you.

I've decided that from now on, I'll create my path.

Do you not believe me?

No, I'm happy for you since you think that way.

Alright. You're not happy because I quit.

You and Xiao Shangqi can finally get back together.

The problems between us

have nothing to do with you getting in the way.

Anyway, you've liked him for so long

I don't think you can let go easily.

That's true.

Because of both of you, I left Hupu to come here.

Back then I really couldn't accept it.

I always wanted a good ending.

After years of liking him, when we broke up...

But many things happened during this reunion.

I'm thinking

when it comes to love,

a good ending doesn't necessarily mean that two people have to be together.

What other ending could it be?

I don't want this relationship anymore.

I don't want to make the same mistake again.

This is my ending.

Thank you for your coffee. I'm going back to the station.

After your reunion, I've been talking to you about your thoughts.

This is your first time saying no so firmly.

Do you have to be so ruthless?

Do you also think I can't let go?

Chen Fei'er said so too.

I didn't realize until she brought it up

that over the years, I haven't been able to let go

of the fact that I like Xiao Shangqi.

But to Xiao Shangqi,

I'm only an ex who was with him for several months.

Once anything happens, he'll let go of my hands anytime.

Also, we're not on the same page in our relationship.

So even if we get back together, when there are problems again,

he'll push me away like he did. I don't want that again.

Come in.

Would you like to let He Xiaoran know about the stuff Chen Fei'er gave you?

She should already know it.

That's fine. When you beat Zhao Mingxuan and everything's over,

you can chase after her all over again.

It may be over soon,

but I may not be able to get her back.

Considering the situation you were in and many other factors,

you were only left with one choice.

If it happens again, I absolutely won't let go

no matter what it takes.

Fei'er has already given him the important information.

I believe the truth will come out soon.

Then we'll go back to our own lives without interfering with each other.

Maybe we can say hi when we meet again.

Maybe we can help each other out when we have problems.

But when it comes to our relationship, we can't get back together.

Oh, gosh. It sounds so sad.

It's called freedom.

I'll move on and look forward to the future.

Good.

What about you? Did you sign the contract?

I did.

Have you told Sui?

No, don't worry about him.

[Museum of Pastel Art]

Judging by the size of the company, it looks quite reliable.

Today Sister Hui is especially hyped up.

It feels like the weather's got better.

Stop filming. What are you filming?

I'm vlogging for you.

If you become famous, then today's the first day of your journey as a star.

Can you stop fantasizing about that?

This time I only want to make music.

I don't care about anything else.

Don't you send it to some people.

Sui Mingwei is just worried about you.

There are many scammers using this nowadays.

The more he knows, the less he's worried.

Let's have dinner together tonight

so you can share with us what happened today and broaden our horizons.

You both

are great. It feels like we're transported back to when we were kids.

Great beginning. Let's go.

Our company is not bad, right?

We're not a big company yet, but I believe now that we have such an up-and-comer as you,

we'll grow in no time.

Come on and look at this.

This is our lounge, bar and rehearsal space.

Sister Hui!

Come on. Let me introduce you

to our top composer.

Once he heard I'd signed you, he kept nagging me to work with you.

- Li Hui. - Hi, nice to meet you.

I'm very glad to see you.

I've listened to your live performance before and liked you for a while.

Thank you.

Oh, Sister Hui, do you have new songs?

Why don't we pick a few and make some songs? Okay?

- Okay? - You have my full support.

Full support. How great!

Thank you both. Thank you.

Today Sister Hui

is especially hyped up. It feels like the weather's got better.

- Stop filming. What are you filming? - I'm vlogging for you.

Hi, MiniJ. Play a song.

Here. I've got your favorite song for you.

Why did you come here instead of going to work?

I'm debating where to go for fun.

Why don't you join me?

Come on. If you don't work and I don't work,

our fragrance factory will... be over.

How boring. I can't get anyone to join me.

You only want to play.

Have you submitted the seasonal proposal?

Also, when will we have the results of the contraption you invented?

I have no more money for you to spend.

That's right.

The relationship doesn't have a good ending, but the product should.

Put it on the market

as a memento of my broken heart.

I'll tell you what,

the projects in your photo are indeed handled by Zhao Mingxuan.

But there are only fragmented contents and little information.

The numbers are unclear as well.

It's quite difficult to put together useful information.

- But– - Yes,

but I had someone sort out the numbers,

and then we have this critical piece of information.

The Lihe project in the photo

is definitely problematic as the procurement number is unbelievably huge.

Brother,

figure out a way to dig into Deju internally.

Cutting corners is only one of the signs.

What matters is where the money went.

Why is it you?

You're from Yunlan. What are you doing here?

Where's Old Wei?

President Tian, it's hard to see you, so I'll cut to the chase.

Zhao Mingxuan turned Deju into a mess. If we do nothing about it, Deju won't make it far.

Is it true that anyone can comment on Deju however they want?

Since Zhao Mingxuan took over, you haven't really had good days, right?

Are you qualified as an outsider to judge if I've had good days?

Zhao Mingxuan always sets limits and watches out for those who previously worked for Deju.

Actually, he's been looking for a chance to kick you all out of Deju,

but when he kicks you out, it's not just making you step down.

President Wei is well aware of it. Are you not?

Is Old Wei on your side?

I heard from President Wei that you handled the Lihe project.

There's another side of the story about my father's death.

He got his hands on the evidence of Zhao Mingxuan cutting corners at Castle Peak.

Castle Peak was already taken care of by Zhao Mingxuan.

But according to the information we have, everything points to Lihe.

Lihe? Impossible.

I handled Lihe all by myself.

No way.

Did he set me up somehow?

Lihe and Castle Peak have a lot of things in common.

Huge investments, but negative profit margins.

Did it never cross your mind that he might've bypassed you and done something secretly?

President Tian, investigate it with us,

otherwise when Zhao Mingxuan's doings are exposed, I'm afraid you won't get away with it.

What do you want me to do then?

Look into all the information about Lihe again.

- But I can only find out some of the data and information. - Yes,

I know. The data is all over the place.

We're also convincing other people.

But in the middle of this, I noticed that many people at Deju don't like him already.

This is good news to us.

But as far as I know, there's no encrypted information about Lihe.

Then examine everything again.

You'll find something new for sure.

President Tian said that he sort of remembered the price on the contract

and promised us to get the information out of the system.

You can start off with the suppliers and learn about the average cost of the materials.

Xiao Qi, I feel like we're not far from finding out the truth.

Come in.

How was it? Was it smooth?

Old Sun and Auntie Wang have checked out. He Xiaoran is taking them to a new nursing home.

Let's take a look.

Alright.

Let's go.

- Director Xiao. - Director Xiao.

Thank you for your care during this time.

Let's go then.

That's fine. You can go back to work. I'll take them there.

I'm good. I was busy a while ago,

so I'm unfamiliar with the new nursing home. It's a good chance for me to take a look.

Since when did you care about it?

I did make a mistake, but I always have a chance to make up for it, right?

I only mentioned it. I didn't expect Journalist He to convince them to accept us both.

I was only explaining what happened.

Alright. Let's go then.

- Sure. - Let's go.

This is what our nursing home provides specially for the elderly. [Lizhen Nursing Home]

Your clothes will smell nicer if you do laundry with it. You're going to have better sleep.

It smells so good

and familiar.

In the past... My home had this scent too.

Really? Then it smells more like home.

Miss, let's add each other on WeChat.

If anything happens to Auntie Wang, you can contact me.

Let me scan your QR code.

Sure.

Are you her daughter?

You're not her family?

Give it to me.

I've been looking for it. It's here.

I'm pretty much settled.

The nursing home that Journalist He found for us is really nice.

Keep chatting. I'll go now.

- Thank you. Bye bye. - Old Wang,

there's a big garden down there. I'll take a walk with you in a bit.

A'Wen?

Is Xiao Mei not here?

Me?

You're confused again.

He's not your son, but Director Xiao.

What director? My son is quite capable,

but he's far from being a director.

A'Wen, have you been so busy lately you haven't eaten well? Look, you've lost weight.

Come with me. I'll get you some snacks.

- I... - Come with me.

Once she sees this photo, she gets confused.

Her son used to work in Hupu. I think he worked in the hotel industry as well.

He made a fortune.

When he was at the very peak of his career, he was gone.

Look, who could take it when outliving their kid?

- Eat it. - Thank you.

I have more here. Go ahead and eat.

- I'm good. I'm good. One's enough. - Eat it.

Eat more. You're way too thin.

That's how she got confused.

Xiao Mei, you're back!

How come you're mistaking more people?

She's mistaking you for her son's girlfriend again.

That girl

- Come here, son. - lost touch

after he died.

- Xiao Mei. - Auntie.

Xiao Mei,

A'Wen, when are you getting married?

Auntie, we're not–

Soon.

Great! How great!

Hold hands tight.

Have I moved again? Where do you live?

They live somewhere else. I'm staying here with you.

Oh, that's right.

This is a nursing home.

A'Wen is so busy

that he found such a good girl as Xiao Mei when he got old.

Go ahead and do your things. Come back and visit me when you have time.

- Go ahead. - We'll go then.

Auntie, bye.

Take some rest.

Old Wang,

I'll take you to the garden for a walk.

[Lizhen Nursing Home]

I know that you wanted to make her happy,

but I find

that totally unnecessary, right?

Since you know I was only making her happy, why take it to heart?

You're an upright journalist who's willing to be her guardian

so that childless Auntie Wang can live in the nursing home.

Is it the same?

Oh, what did you learn from the information given by Fei'er?

We've got our hands on the internal data of the project.

No matter how hidden Zhao Mingxuan makes it, as long as we look into it thoroughly, we'll surely find some leaks.

It's finally coming to an end.

That's right. It's finally coming to an end.

Then

I can focus all my attention on doing something else.

What is it?

Do you want to eat together?

No, I have some arrangement.

Who is it?

Hey.

How come he's here too?

He insisted on coming.

I've never seen anyone join someone's dinner so shamelessly.

Don't tell me you both–

No, nothing ever again.

Who knows what the future holds?

Everything will come to a good end.

If it's not good, that means it's not the end yet.

Xiaoran,

I don't think this is the end of our relationship.

It's too soon to speak.

When it comes to love,

a good ending doesn't necessarily mean that two people have to be together.

What other ending could it be?

I don't want this relationship anymore. I don't want to make the same mistake again.

This is my ending.

Alright. Alright.

Talk about things between you both privately.

See what else you want to eat. Order anything you want. It's on me today.

- Okay. - How generous of you after signing the contract.

No.

You signed the contract?

It's not reliable.

A little studio. They haven't even paid her the signing bonus.

I know someone doesn't like it. Can we talk about something else?

Who cares about your work?

From tomorrow on, I'll be busy again.

I'm delivering my sleep fragrances to the shopping mall.

Is your company going to be listed?

Amazing.

I wish you success.

Congrats, Director Sui.

Director Sui.

President Zhao, all the critical data on Lihe was accessed and exported.

Here are all the employee IDs who logged in and accessed it.

[List of Employees with Access]

Taiyang.

Aunty Fei'er.

What are you doing?

- He said there was a fire. - Oh.

This firefighter came over. Where is it?

- Over here! - I'm a firefighter. Who are you?

I'm a cook.

My shop is one fire. Save me.

Aunty Fei'er, what's your job?

A cook.

My dad is a manager, Uncle Xiao Shangqi is Director Xiao,

and Aunty Xiao is a journalist. What are you?

You play with me at the hotel every day.

I want my dad to be like you.

- Whose kid is this? - Dad.

You wander about once it's the weekend. Go look for Grandpa Meng to have your meal.

Thank you.

Can I ask if you know how to draft a resume?

You asked the right guy. Have a seat.

Come on, take a seat.

I'll show you a few websites.

Take a look. This website is filled with templates.

You can select based on the job you're looking for.

For example, there are management jobs and finance.

This is for education.

I think this looks pretty nice. The blue one.

The entire template is simple and easy to read.

Miss Chen, you're early. Are you going to have breakfast?

I'm off for an interview.

You applied yesterday, but you got an interview so quickly?

Are you going dressed like this?

What's wrong?

Bring a few copies of your resume and hand them out to the interviewers.

Keep one for yourself too. Like this, you'll know what they're asking about.

Usually, you'll need to introduce yourself. Mention things that aren't on the resume.

Relax and you'll be fine.

You're really naggy.

If I didn't stop you, you might've flopped your interview today.

By the way, bring a pen. There may be an ad hoc test.

What's the matter? Are you touched?

Goodness.

You're like a mother sending their child off for the college entrance examination.

Really? That's all I need to do?

I haven't thought of what I'll do when Taiyang takes the college entrance examination.

I'm off.

Relax.

President Xiao, I've looked through it.

The purchase order you mentioned tallies with the system records.

The numbers are different from the photo you sent to me.

Come in.

President Xiao, President Zhao wants to have a meeting with you.

Right now?

Yes.

Did you receive the meeting notice too?

President Tian.

They're all our people.

President Tian, did you call me over for a meeting?

I didn't.

I was the one.

President Zhao.

Why did you gather so many people for a meeting?

[Li Menghan, Business Head Zhang Jianhui, Administrative Head...]

The meeting is over.

You can leave first.

What does he mean?

Let's talk outside.

Why did you investigate Lihe out of the blue?

Did you receive a document? The numbers of it are clearly fake.

Chen Fei'er handing that to you was part of my plan too.

Let me tell you another secret.

Lihe is the cleanest project I worked on.

Even if you dig up everything, it's useless.

Besides, Xiao Xian...

It's fine if you're a disobedient dog.

Why are you biting your owner's hand?

Zhao Mingxuan.

You killed my father.

Do you really think I'll swallow this bitter pill?

One day, I'll hurl you to where you belong.

You scared me there.

So ambitious. Well, you have to live long enough for that.

Your petty tricks can't crush me.

Do you know why I got everyone to leave first?

It's rare for you to show your hand.

This match

is something I'll enjoy slowly.

I'll let everyone present earlier plan their escape routes.

Before they can see the end, they'll be too afraid to even sleep.

As for Yunlan,

I don't have that much patience.

There's an emergency in Hupu. I need to leave for some time.

I remember! She's the fake bride on the news a while back!

Apologies, Miss Chen Fei'er. Our company values character and integrity.

Deputy General Manager Lin.

You're back. What are you holding...

That company was mediocre.

The environment was bad and the place was small. What a waste of my resume.

How can you be so thoughtless?

Director Xiao treats you well and Deputy General Manager LIn is paying for your room fees.

Is this how you repay them?

You're so ungrateful.

What do you mean?

There's nothing wrong with the documents you brought over.

However, Zhao Mingxuan singled out everyone who checked these documents.

Deju has halted all partnerships with Yunlan.

He has spread rumors in the industry about President Xian's betrayal.

Miss Chen, I'll be blunt.

You dangled this bait before me.

Is coming here part of his plan too?

Are you suspecting me too?

There's nothing to suspect. You set this trap.

You look down on me?

No wonder this trash place

doesn't have any good wine.

How did you...

I came here specifically

to thank you.

If it wasn't for your help,

I wouldn't have been able to

wipe out all those plotting against me.

Calm down.

Don't be rash. Sit down.

Sit down.

Do you think that you alone

can trick me?

Here's the thing.

All of you are in the palm of my hand.

Sister Wang filmed this.

She said Chen Fei'er was rummaging through the house.

If she's so eager to find incriminating evidence against me,

I'll give her the chance.

These are the real documents for the project.

Should we shred everything?

As long as we have these documents, it's not a threat.

There's no need to shred this.

At least, we can still intimidate the rest.

I brought tea over.

- Mingxuan, have some tea. - I'll do away with tea.

My shoulders hurt. Give me a massage.

Tidy up your things.

The house is a mess.

When I'm back, I hope this place is sparkling clean.

Thank you.

President Zhao, she's searching for it.

Who do you think she'll hand this to？

Who cares?

However, I really hope that

she'll hand it to that person.

However, you really helped me to uncover quite a lot.

The quarrel between Xiao Shangqi and Xiao Xian was fake.

Seems like I was right not to trust him fully.

But I didn't lose out either.

After all,

Xiao Xian has been my lapdog for so long, hasn't he?

Zhao Mingxuan, you're utterly despicable.

I'm despicable?

You're calling me despicable? What about you?

Don't be so humble.

You played a huge role in this.

Moreover,

Jifeng has been mortgaged.

That few cents

doesn't do much for Yunlan's debt.

As for the Xiao brothers' future,

it can only be described by this phrase.

Guess what it is.

I'll tell you.

They're struggling at death's door.

Any potential chances for survival

depends solely on me.

As for you,

you're worthless now.

Lastly, I want to offer you a reminder.

Be careful in the future.

The world is a mess these days and accidents are frequent.

Who knows what'll happen?

In this situation, we can only compensate for breaching the contract.

This is all the cash available.

James, check our accounts for any available money.

You must be exhausted after hours of meetings.

Oh, I asked Aunty Zhang to tidy up your room.

I never expected to be in such a fix.

I'm to blame.

It's fine.

At such a time,

let's stop reprimanding ourselves.

Let's take it one step at a time.

How is the company's current situation?

Closing transactions with Deju is within my plan.

However, this bankruptcy liquidation is beyond my expectations.

The liquidation damages are massive. Even if we go to court,

we may just be wasting time.

We have no chances of winning.

We're pathetic.

Jifeng's accounts still has some money.

I know.

But I don't want to use it.

If Yunlan declares bankruptcy,

I hope you can still have Jifeng.

That may be our last chance to rise from the ashes.

We're in this state now.

We may not overcome this ordeal even if we give our all.

What's the point of leaving such a safety net for yourself?

More importantly, I can't see any light in our future.

Xiao Qi, do you know?

Sometimes, I feel really indignant.

He killed Dad

and ruined our family.

Our family was so unhappy for decades.

In the end, even Dad's last...

Brother.

Calm down. It's not over yet.

Tomorrow, narrow down Yunlan's manpower.

Only keep the core team and minimize expenses.

Once you've calculated the compensation sum, let me know.

I'll sort our Jifeng's accounts

and borrow from some people too.

You're right. Let's not talk about this.

Let's resolve the problem

and look forward.

Thank you.

Are you saying that the leads were false?

Zhao Mingxuan knew that I was searching for evidence against him.

He let me find that on purpose.

Do Xiao Shangqi and the rest...

Yunlan is doomed.

They have to pay a massive compensation, and everyone has been exposed.

Xiaoran, I was really manipulated by Zhao Mingxuan.

I was clueless about this,

but nobody believes anything I say now.

You're here for Xiaoran since nobody believes you, huh?

I have nowhere to go.

Zhao Mingxuan already came looking for me.

I don't know what that lunatic will do.
