Original subtitles

Excuse me. Two more jugs of Sake.

One.

Listen to me. One. Let’s enjoy it slowly.

He’s not a good storyteller.

You must listen to me.

Do you know how many people

wanted to work

with Qiu Jianxiang?

If you compare it with now,

it's like a talent show audition.

Produce 101?

You're exaggerating.

I’m not.

I remember

he had twenty

fund managers.

Every one of them

was second to none.

But half of them

had never even seen his face

because only eight

were selected to join his core team.

Among the eight ones,

not more than three

were trained by him himself.

Of the three,

the youngest

and least experienced one

who ended up as

the most successful operator

is my buddy.

But for

YL No. 21,

he could’ve become

Ace of Funds.

Junhui, thank you.

Mr. Tao,

we actually

should have had dinner together

a long time ago.

But

Fei’s grandpa was in poor health for a while,

and later her grandma got sick, too.

I was too busy

and had to rest for half a month.

Mr. Tao,

please don't mind.

Never mind.

Well,

surely we should take good care of our parents.

What about now?

Are they better?

They’re both healthy now.

When they heard Fei was going to get married,

they were so happy.

But

will they

keep healthy forever?

So, I mean,

if you have no objection

to their marriage,

I think it's better to hold the wedding as soon as possible.

What do you think, Ms. Tang?

I, I’ve got no objection.

As long as they’re happy,

I-I-I’m good.

We’ve been checking apartments recently

and will decide soon.

After we buy and decorate an apartment,

it's going to be the end of the year,

right, Junhui?

Yeah.

Fei,

look,

my wedding present

for you.

Dad, you bought a house?

What type is it?

What else?

Definitely the one you love.

OMG! Thank you, Dad!

You’re my best Dad!

Fei,

be seated.

You're getting married soon

and still being childish.

Having a son and having a daughter

are just two different things.

A daughter should be treated like a princess.

I've spoiled her.

That's it, Mr. Tao.

If we all agree,

let's fix a date

for the wedding now.

If you can't find a perfect apartment,

just take this one

as your sweet home.

What do you think?

Right.

I, I’ve got no objection.

They can decide for themselves.

Well, as you said.

I agree.

I’ll just listen to Fei.

Great.

Good, deal.

Okay, cheers.

Cheers.

Good.

Come on, Ms. Tang.

I have to drive today

so I'll just drink juice.

Don't bother. Just get a chauffeur then.

Alright,

I’ll listen to you, Ms. Tang.

Ms. Tang,

may we have dinner together often

and may you be healthy!

Here. Have a taste.

You’re not a drinker.

Why did you drink so much today?

Do you think Mr. Wu

is a little strange?

If I mentioned

we were going to buy an apartment before,

he’d say nothing.

Who can imagine today

he gave us

a mansion worth tens of millions?

Son, in this case,

do you have to buy an apartment?

Yes.

Mr. Wu

bought it for his daughter

instead of me.

Besides, it's the life

of Wu Fei and me.

You always tell me

to do

what I can do.

Live within my own means, after all.

Son, I’m so happy

to hear that.

Proud of you. Thumbs up.

Have a taste.

No.

Are you at odds

with Fei?

What?

Why do you

say so?

I know you well.

At dinner,

your smile was totally fake

and forced.

What happened?

Tell me.

I’m always behind you.

When I used to talk about buying an apartment,

Wu

always said to me

“Don't worry”, “Take your time” and so on.

Why did he look

hasty

and sneaky today?

What’s happening?

Well,

You signed

that prenup?

Yes.

Why didn't you discuss it with me?

I’m a grown-up. Why do I have to?

Then show it to me.

I already signed it. Why do you have to read it?

Does it include any

dirty clauses?

The Wus are much richer than us.

At least we won’t get trapped.

What?

So they can mistreat you just because they're rich?

I'm telling you,

if you’re mistreated,

I'll go talk with him.

Why are you mad?

I'm a lawyer.

I read its every clause

carefully.

I know you're a lawyer

but I’m not a fool.

A prenup is good.

But to be honest, son,

when it's you who have to sign it,

well,

I, I...

I’m just upset.

Really.

Honestly,

Wu Fei.

Wu Fei...

Her family is richer.

She’s younger.

She’s indeed a lot better

than Qin Shi

The Qins can't compare with hers at all,

right?

But I never think about teaching

you to be a humble

bootlicker.

I know very well

how you’ve been making achievements.

Step by step,

you and I depend on our own.

It's all our own efforts.

Son,

it really doesn't matter how much you earn.

The most important thing is for Fei

and you to live a happy life together.

Do you get it?

I know you’re behind me.

Of course.

It hurts!

Are you drunk?

You hit me so hard.

Let me ease your pain.

It really hurts.

Aye!

Son, you...

Have some water.

Why are you crying?

I’m not.

Counsel Qin,

I've never heard

Yang mention it before.

I asked him

but he just wouldn’t talk.

Now I'm sure

Yang broke

with Qiu Jianxiang

because of YL No. 21.

If you met

Yang back then,

you’d know what a brilliant man looked like.

As his buddy,

I really hope I can be a candle

to light up his world.

But my light is dim.

From now on,

you're his beacon.

Please light up his world.

Please.

Yang,

come here.

Yang, you're so lucky to marry her.

See you.

Bye.

Are you drunk?

Your hand.

Let’s go home!

I believe in you.

For what?

I believe the failure of YL No. 21

wasn't your fault.

It’s been so many years.

You didn't even know me before.

How do you know it wasn't my fault?

I didn’t know you?

Don’t forget,

it’s you in the past

who attracts me.

You're better

at studying figures

but I'm better at studying people.

I believe in myself

and you.

No one is always right.

So

it was really your fault.

At the time, YL No. 21 was

the best fund in Heng-Li,

with a 20-year average yield of 17 percent

since Heng-Li was founded.

It was also

Qiu Jiangxiang’s best product.

Two years before the failure,

he appointed me as the operator of YL No. 21.

I became its actual trader.

Within the first year of taking over,

I increased its yield

to thirty-seven percent,

at the age of only twenty-two.

My commissions alone were

tens of millions of yuan.

But I didn’t expect

ten months later,

I suddenly lost all the money

in a miserable way.

Actually, mistakes aren’t that horrible.

They just show

you need to improve yourself

and make progress.

Mistakes and failures

are all treasures.

What is really horrible is humans’

jealousy and greed.

Whose puppy

is lost?

Honey,

I guess we've got a “baby”.

It’s the first time he called me honey.

Sorry! We’re sorry.

We thought the puppy was lost.

That’s okay.

I also used to

get all the attention

and everything I wanted.

Until one day,

I realized that

I was nothing,

not even as good as the puppy.

Give me your little paws.

And that one.

Good dog.

Now

you are my sweetheart.

From now on,

I’ll never

let you starve.

I promise. I’ll feed you scientifically

and never abandon you.

What's wrong?

Qin Shi, help!

She’s going to kill herself!

She’s going to kill herself!

Come here now!

Calm down!

Meimei, calm down!

You go any further and I'll jump!

Wait!

Stay back!

Don't push me!

Alright.

Put the knife down.

I'm telling you, I mean it!

I’m not trying to cheat you.

Why don't you come down first?

No!

No!

Meimei!

What’s going on here?

Qin Shi, hurry!

Stay there! All of you!

Anyone steps further and I'll jump!

You're going to kill yourself?

You know what?

You're quite high up here.

When you fall on the ground, you’ll look terrible.

All your beauty fees

will also be wasted.

So just do it!

What are you talking about?

Shut up! It's all because of you.

I’m telling you, if you jump,

he can’t be happier.

He’ll happily

do whatever he wants.

But you’ll just disappear!

If you like it, just jump!

Baby Shi, you’ve changed!

Even you treat me badly now!

No wonder you’re family.

How can you gang up

on me and bully me together?

Meimei! Meimei!

Get away!

Clear off!

Have some water.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You see, he’s nice.

Look at him.

I've been wondering why these days

he’s been nice to me.

It's just that his mother told him

as long as we had a baby,

she'd buy him a sports car.

Isn't it horrible?

For a sports car,

he even drugged

his wife.

Bastard.

What did you trick her into taking?

Just...

Some powders that are good for pregnancy.

They say it’s very effective

and promotes ovulation.

I guess it's like vitamins.

No side effects.

Qin Wenyu.

Are you nuts?

How dare you feed her

that weird thing?

What if she gets sick after eating it?

You heard him.

I can't imagine this.

If next year

he wants something else,

he may kill me.

How can a man

have no principles at all?

So

I'm the only bad guy?

You think I know nothing, huh?

My mother and you secretly

signed an agreement, right?

As long as you have a baby,

you’ll get twenty percent

of enterprise shares.

You cheated me first.

Do you treat me as your husband?

Maybe I’m just a buck to you.

Nonsense!

Look at what you did to my face!

Come on, stop it.

I often persuade you to get a divorce

because I think you

won’t do that.

Quarrels and fights.

You just like them.

But look at you now.

Only lies and tricks.

Good job, guys.

Ladies and gentlemen,

it’s just a perfect day.

I’m not trying to dare you.

As your friend,

family, and lawyer,

in my view,

you just don’t have to

live together any longer.

So sign it now.

Your turn.

She's right.

We should have signed it long ago.

You signed it

hundreds of times, right?

And we still live together.

How boring.

I'll help you this time.

I’ll be out of your way.

Don’t pretend to

do anything big for me.

I can live better without you.

I'm sure you can.

All the time,

the one who’s taken care of

is me.

I know

everyone thinks I'm stupid

and I’m a fool

Everyone looks down on me.

It’s just true.

After all,

my elder brother does whatever he’s told to.

My younger sister

is awarded as Best Employee every year.

I’m no smart person.

Between the two of you,

what else can I do

but be your shadow?

Mom favors my elder brother.

Dad favors my younger sister.

I'm caught in the middle again.

Since childhood,

I’ve never even heard

a word of praise.

I'm not smart

but I once worked hard.

I never got good grades

so I stayed up late reading and doing exercises.

And then?

I tried my best

to increase my score from 6 to 56

but I was still a failing loser

to you.

Like trash.

Trash! You get it?

Qin Wenyu.

Stop it.

Save your sympathy.

You smart guys

get things done easily

and are all winners in life.

Me?

I’m just a loser.

My father says I'm stupid.

My mother thinks I'm foolish.

My beautiful wife

has prepared the divorce agreement for a long time.

I'm a human.

I have self-esteem, okay?

You leads

need supporting roles around. I’m one.

You want a baby

so I want to help. Is it wrong?

Can there be a way out for me?

Can you treat me like a human?

Honey, don't say that.

Honey, don't say that.

I really love you.

I decided to marry you

because I’m into you.

I've seen your handsome

and silly look before.

I've seen everything about you.

I love you.

I like everything about you.

Don't talk about yourself like that.

I know you’re nice.

So nice.

Honey, I was wrong.

I... I’m no good at all

and I drugged you

for a baby.

What if the baby

turns out like me?

Then that’s it.

As long as it’s yours,

I’ll like it.

I don't need shares

but only you.

I don't need a sports car either

but only you.

I’m sorry.

Then why did you sign it? So cruel!

Should I stop worrying

about Meimei and Qin Wenyu?

I try to be their advisor

but I’m a novice myself.

I’m not so experienced, after all.

Maybe

their relationship

doesn't need

your honest opinion.

You just need to be a calm bystander.

I hope so.

I hope from now on,

they’ll be with each other happily

with no more fights.

When they quarrel,

maybe they're just trying

to attract each other's attention like kids.

But they've been married for so long.

It's time to move on to the next stage.

There are so many ways

to keep it fresh.

Just get distracted a little bit.

I don't agree.

A good relationship

doesn't need distractions.

Tell me then,

can you promise to love

the one you love forever?

It depends.

If you're the one, I may say yes.

“May”?

Who else is on your shortlist?

Answer me.

Nobody else. Only you.

Be honest.

It’s true!

Yes.

No.

Just tell me.

I thought a lot last night.

I don't have many friends.

You are the only one

who can stay with me

for so many years.

In the past,

I felt like

I lowered my criteria for choosing friends.

But now I suddenly realize

you must be under a lot of pressure

to be my friend, right?

When I left yesterday,

you didn't talk about this, right?

After I left,

what happened to you guys?

Why do you

sound philosophical?

Why do you begin to discuss such a serious

life topic?

Anyway, I apologize

for all my

arrogance before.

I know

my working here

stresses you out.

If you don’t like it,

I can quit.

Stop.

You have a good point

but if you keep talking like that,

I'll punch you.

Please.

Just treat me the way

you used to, okay?

Just be

self-righteous with me.

I'm used to it.

Now you've got

a new trick

and start to insult my personality

and IQ in a new way.

I, I can't take it.

Yang,

if you really want to

be good to me,

from now on--

It tastes nice.

From now on, don't

do these things

you think are good for me,

OK?

And don't say you’ll quit

again.

The bank president called me over

at work this morning

and asked me various things

about you.

I guess you’ll get a promotion.

Promotion?

I thought about it.

Director of Investment Department.

Within less than one month,

Level 10 to Level 4.

You'll be the only one who has made it.

Wait, the manager threatened

to fire me yesterday.

Why suddenly...

Suddenly?

You don't know that?

What?

When did Mr. Qiu get arrested?

This morning,

Manager Jia has gone

to meet the president.

The sale of all Fang-Yu Group's products

is stopped.

The three or four products we sell on behalf of Fang-Yu Group

are still in the payment cycle.

Fortunately, the quantity isn’t large.

It shouldn’t affect us.

If it does,

our bank

has nothing to do with that.

You know,

I'm afraid the manager

will have a hard time

in the future.

What are you thinking about?

Now that this has happened,

Credit Department had to be

cautious.

Manager Cai must be the happiest.

I handed in the schedule last week.

No, no, no, Mr. Yang.

I come to you not for that.

My attitude was wrong before.

Please don't mind.

You’ve been in our department

for some time,

but we

didn’t even hold a welcome party for you.

We would like to treat you to lunch

this afternoon.

Are you available?

No.

It’s, it’s okay.

I was just asking.

Thank you, thank you.

I mean, I don't have any money with me.

It's okay.

It's okay. We have money.

Yeah. It’s our treat.

I'll do it.

Guys, you've been working hard recently.

But I’ve got some work

so I'll have to treat you to the canteen.

Canteen?

Alright.

Canteen food is good for health.

Yeah, good, good.

Alright.

- Have a nice meal. - Thank you.

Get down to business!

I’m telling you,

if Mr. Jin knows it,

your bonuses will all be canceled this month.

Work now!

Counsel Qin,

Counsel Qin,

don't be so angry.

Anger is bad for health.

I'm just an employee.

I have to listen to the boss,

right?

And I feel bad

for you.

But today,

I’ve got some good--

Counsel Qin!

I have good news

for you.

No, thanks, Qiao.

I dare not listen to that.

Look!

I do have good news

for you.

Boss

has already said that

Counsel Zhang

will go to Wuhan for regular residence next week,

so this office is free

for you.

Look.

In this bet,

I fully supported you.

How much did you bet?

Two hundred yuan.

Small bets are pleasant. Only big ones are bad.

Twenty.

Out.

Well,

when you move to the new office,

I'll buy you

a big flower basket,

deal?

By the way,

I didn't talk to anybody

about the twenty-five million

you and Li Dai were talking about.

And a box of champagne,

the brand that starts with M.

Okay.

Good.

Do you know

why so many people are at the door?

Who's coming?

He Dongna.

The star?

Right.

Why is she here? For a lawsuit?

Plaintiff or defendant?

Last night,

Tianhang Hotel kicked her out.

Why?

You don't know that?

Her press conference

is live now.

The top five trending topics are all about her.

Hello, everyone.

On behalf

of Ms. He Dongna,

now I’ll make a public statement

that Tianhang Hotel

expelled Ms. He Dongna

at 3 a.m. on May 31.

Be careful.

Hello.

What are you doing?

It hurts!

Leave me alone.

Hurry up. Follow her!

Be careful.

This, this way.

On June 1, Ms. He Dongna

was invited to attend

a charity event for AIDS treatment

and checked in at Tianhang Hotel

the night before.

When Ms. He took a shower in her room,

and the glass of the bathroom

burst and injured her hand.

Tianhang Hotel failed to

provide Ms. He with timely treatment.

Instead, the staff forced her to check out

at 3 a.m.

and

drove her out.

This way! This way!

The car has arrived.

You don't know how to carry luggage?

Ms. He,

they’ll help you.

Let them carry it for you.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'll just be waiting here.

I'll just be waiting here for my assistant.

I’ll take you to the hospital.

No.

I can do it myself.

Be careful with your hand.

We’ll help you.

Hurry.

Help her. Give her a hand.

This way! This way!

Don't touch me!

I'm not going anywhere.

I’m not!

Just come with us.

The car has arrived.

Here,

on behalf of Ms. He Dongna, I would like to

protest and condemn

the outrageous misconduct

of Tianhang Hotel.

On our part, we tried to negotiate many times but in vain,

so we have to turn to the public

to ensure our legal rights.

Our appeal is simple.

Tianhang Hotel is required to make a public apology,

dismiss the employees concerned,

and compensate

Ms. He for her injury.

We reserve the right

to take legal action

until a settlement is reached.

I’ve been to

so many places around the world

and stayed

in so many hotels.

When did I

get such insults?

It's just unbelievable.

Tianhang is such

a famous domestic brand.

How can they treat their clients this way?

How can they provide such services?

I don't like to

get privileges

because I’m a star

but I request fairness and equality.

Dongna, your anger

makes perfect sense.

I’m also a consumer.

If I encountered

the same thing,

I would also be furious.

So what would you like us

to do for you?

I'll give Tianhang three days.

In three days,

if they

don't make a public apology,

I'll sue them.

It’s a sure thing.

They must apologize publicly

and give you spiritual injury compensation fees.

In this kind of case,

as long as the plaintiff's evidence is conclusive,

the outcome is settled.

And now the public

likes to add fuel to the flames.

He Dongna has

a good image

and is a goodwill ambassador.

The hotel must be in trouble.

Who was in charge

that night?

What background?

Listen.

I find the whole thing

strange.

The hotel industry is in a slump.

Why did they kick her out

when she could have promoted their reputation?

Maybe there are

some secrets.

Not necessarily.

Many

local business hotels

are indeed very poor in service.

But we need to know

the background of the hotel

and if it has any secrets.

Neither of those matters, though.

Above all,

the staff did drive her out

at 3 a.m.

Only by this,

He Dongna can sue Tianhang Hotel.

But

for this kind of case,

reputation is more focused on than money.

It’s not the kind

Mr. Tang will be interested.

He Dongna couldn’t

directly choose us.

Someone

introduced us to her?

Smart. Very smart.

You know what?

As far as I heard, He Dongna

is a friend of the president of Ximei Public Relations.

It’s in charge of

her public relations all the time.

Professional, right?

Ximei again?

So its president is trying to offer his future son-in-law

an influential case.

Tao Junhui’s just new here and he's got a star case.

Guess that's not the only reason.

I've heard

Counsel Tao is not the only one to settle it.

Dongna,

Let me introduce them to you.

Mr. Tao Junhui.

Mr. Ma Taiqi.

Mr. Chen Jun.

They're all top lawyers

in Corporate Department.

Counsel Ma and Counsel Chen are also

our partners.

It's the first time our firm

has assigned

three best lawyers

for a client.

So you can see

we attach great importance to this case.

Hopefully it will be a relief for you.

Guess I don't need to introduce her.

Wu Fei's got some tough work.

She’s both your advocate

and the attorney responsible

for communication.

Then,

thank you in advance, dear counsels.

Our pleasure.

If there's nothing else,

see you!

Wait!

Strange.

What's strange?

Everything.

The case

seems explosive,

but in terms of cost-effect,

the attorney fees

will be just a little.

Yihui assigns

three lawyers at one time,

two of whom are partners.

She seldom does that.

He Dongna

owns a gold mine?

Just say it!

Look.

Well,

it's just hearsay.

Of course, with some of

my own guesses.

Sure thing. Just for fun.

Get to the point.

Do you know who He Dongna's husband

is?

Who?

Hu Ping.

Head of a venture capital firm.

He keeps a low profile

and is known only to those in the industry.

He made a fortune in financial investment

and became famous abroad.

People call him Goldfinger.

He started to invest in domestic oil

even earlier than Buffett did.

Since returning to China,

he's been investing in financial securities.

Besides,

being discerning and keen,

he invested in several Internet companies

and helped them list overseas.

He's like

an unknown big boss.

It's so hard

to meet him.

So we should say,

Yihui kicks a ball.

The goal is Hu Ping.

You're really smart.

Of course.

Is our firm

having financing trouble?

It's short of money?

Shhh. Silent.

Are you going to

dine with Hu Ping today?

I don't know. Where?

Where?

At the Genting Club.

B-b-but Counsel Qin,

just one suggestion.

If Mr. Tang

didn't tell you about it,

don't get involved.

Just give it a shot.

No big deal.

It's a long shot,

but you never know until you try.

I'm working on

corporate cases now.

Why do I have to bother?

And I'll have to compete

with Tao Junhui

under Wu Fei's glares.

Why bother?

Qin Shi,

so you just want to read contracts

here every day?

So many media outlets

are focusing on the case.

It's a good opportunity to earn fame.

What we need most now

is publicity, publicity!

Calm down.

There must be a way.

Mr. Tang.

No,

you can’t leave tonight!

We're going to have dinner with Hu Ping

and He Dongna.

How can you leave?

The case in Wuhan isn't working well.

Chen and I

have to get there at once.

Chen is also leaving?

The case in Wuhan

is that urgent?

What about

leaving early tomorrow morning?

We can't. We must go now.

Can either of you

go there alone?

You see, among the partners

in our firm,

only you and Chen

are good at dealing with businessmen.

Jiang is in Singapore.

Ma is going to have dinner

with the president.

There's only Tao Junhui left

but he's not good at talking business.

You've done

so much

just to meet Hu Ping

and now you can't.

What a shame!

Ma'am,

you're underestimating yourself.

Even Chen and I team up,

we're still not as good at sales talk as you.

Come off it.

Can you be serious?

I may be good

at sweet talk

but not

sales talk.

Can you take a rain check?

My dear Jin.

I'm afraid Hu Ping is busier than a bee.

How can I make another appointment with him?

Then forget it.

Our listing plan

stays back half a year.

We're in no hurry.

But for the temporary withdrawal

of the original VC,

we would have gone public.

I know the company

the VC invested in.

Century.

Century is no better than us

except that it was set up

a few years earlier than our firm.

Fine, I admit it.

Century is better than our firm.

It was responsible

for IPO legal affairs

for forty percent

of listed companies this year.

But our share

is also increasing year by year.

Our Civil Department ranks top three in Pujiang.

Century was set up

five years earlier than our firm.

If our firm is set up five years earlier,

we can do better than them.

I absolutely believe that.

We have so many elites here.

Nobody is able to

talk business with Hu Ping?

Talk business with Hu Ping...

If we can't make it,

we can just show our strength.

If Hu Ping is as brilliant

as is said,

he knows what he should do.

After all, financing

is a consensual thing.
