[Episode 18]

Miss Xu,

I said a bunch of shit

that day outside the detention center.

Don't take it personally.

I just got out.

I was a bit mental.

Well.

You're right.

Businessmen

have to communicate, right?

We have to talk, right?

What did you say that day?

I... it doesn't matter what I said.

Mr. Qiu,

do you know how this fish died?

They must regret

swimming blindly and messing around

that resulted in their death.

They have to be made into dried salted fish even after death.

Is this karma that you said?

Is it?

I mean.

Xu.

Even if it's karma,

it has to end, right?

Besides,

he's paid enough.

It's time you let it go.

Miss Xu, please be generous.

Can we let this go?

Mr. Qiu,

I didn't expect you to be so ruthless

that you let Guo Qidong

cover it for you.

I really didn't expect it.

I came to pick you up from the prison

because I wanted to talk to you

and give you a chance

so that we could still do business together.

You had to take the opportunity to insult me.

Now you want to talk business with me?

It's too late.

That's enough.

Xu, I heard you.

What you just said is right.

Look.

The reason why things have come to this point

is all because of State No.2 Steel.

Right? You see?

It's not good for anyone if we hurt each other.

We have to find a solution, right?

We came over here, we…

We are sincere.

Right?

We've been in business together for so many years.

We know

each other well.

What can't be solved?

I get it.

What Mr. Wu means

is that you had already discussed it

and had a plan

before you came here, right?

That's right.

Twenty-five percent

for each of us.

It's reasonable, isn't it?

There is one thing that needs to be addressed.

Feng

can't get that much money.

He can only contribute ten percent.

As for the remaining 15 percent,

you, me, and Qiu

will get five percent for each of us.

Is that okay?

Actually, I want all of the 15 percent.

But I can go with

the way you want it.

I should be the chairman

and legal owner too

of this future steel plant.

Xu.

As the big brother,

I have to say whether it's favorable or not.

Have you thought about it?

Can you take on

the future of this steel mill?

It's not like selling steel scrap that you used to do.

The last minute you bought it,

the next you sold it.

This is a business.

A steel mill is a business.

You have to run a business.

Do you know how to run a business?

Do you... have you ever run a business?

Xu.

You can't

bite off too much to start.

You're in charge, you run the business.

But have you ever thought about

if we, the contributors, feel safe?

Ask Qiu and Feng

if they feel safe.

What's to worry about?

You are the senior.

You can teach me if there is anything I'm not good at.

I promise

we'll do it together.

I will respect very much

every one of my partners.

But this steel mill

must be in the charge of me.

You...

You really don't want to think about it?

You don't want to think about it?

Feng.

Come to my office for a cup of tea.

Boss.

We can't turn it around.

Give up.

Xu Banxia is determined.

There's no way out.

I just made it. It's a bit hot.

Tell me, what happened to you?

There was a fight before the divorce.

Divorce?

You and your Bao'er?

Bao'er did this to you?

She's so feisty.

Why did you get divorced again?

It hasn't been long.

Feng.

Why don't you work with me?

I don't need your money.

It's not that

I don't want to work with you.

Look at the group of us.

We've known each other for so long.

Xu, do you know why

the businessmen from Binhai

can bloom in the world?

It's because

we're

united.

I'm not trying to persuade you.

I... I...

You make your own decision.

But can you just

reconsider it?

I really just want to help you.

Okay.

If you don't mind and want to help me,

you can

take over my factory.

If I take over your factory,

what should you do?

I'm just tired.

I want to go back to the village

and enjoy my retirement ahead of time.

Whenever you get tired,

you can come to me.

I'll treat you to green shoots and roast pork.

I have to go.

Stay for a longer chat.

No, I have to go.

Feng.

Do you still believe in love?

How is Chen doing?

Very well.

Zhou Qian has been always with him.

He's very happy.

They even went to a barbecue.

Boss.

I think I should go with you.

I don't feel assured for you to go alone.

I'll take care of the equipment

after this trip to the Northeast.

I will definitely take over the steel mill.

I want Chen to witness that day.

Time is running out.

♫Shenyang, Shenyang, my hometown♫

♫The roads are brightly lit♫

♫The streets and alleys are full of people♫

♫It's dressed up for the holidays♫

♫Socialist skyscrapers♫

♫Stand in old Shenyang♫

♫That's where I've lived all my life♫

♫Rebuilding my hometown from the ground up♫

What are they glued with?

Why is it so hard to pick?

My shovel is flattened from picking.

How much is left?

Quite a lot. Over there.

That wall is full of them?

Full of them.

They glue these every day,

nonstop.

The glue

really holds.

I can't get it off.

They just glue these every day.

They're frozen from the cold day.

How can we pick them all up?

It's so firmly glued.

And I'm told to clean them.

Is this the only side?

There are more over there?

There are plenty on that street.

Which side?

The whole wall?

Yes, that street.

Is there more? Over there?

There's plenty on that street.

Let's get it done and go home for dinner.

-It's so tedious. -I'm sick of it.

Excuse me.

Should I go that way to

the family community of the steel mill?

What are you doing?

I want to see the director or secretary of the plant

and ask him about the factory.

Where are you from?

I'm from out of town.

Are you a journalist?

Get out of here.

Do you think you can get in with someone else?

What? I don't know what you're talking about.

Who is a journalist?

I'll tell you!

You go back and tell those old men and women.

Make it clear.

It's useless

for them to find a reporter or someone else.

This has to be dismantled. Do you understand?

What's in your purse?

Open it and let me take a look.

What are you doing?

I'll take a look at what's in it.

-Don't touch my purse. -Let me take a look.

Open it. Open it.

Open the purse.

I'm calling the police.

Let me take a look.

Don't you touch me!

-What are you doing? -Open the purse.

-What are you doing? -Bring the purse over.

I'm calling the police.

It's useless to call the police.

What's going on?

What are you doing?

Put the purse down.

Get out of here!

Who told you to tear them?

Who told you to tear them?

Who told you to tear them?

Who told you to tear them?

Who told you to glue them?

Since you can glue them, why can't we take them off?

This is my house, my house.

Who told you to tear it?

So what

that it's your house?

Get out of here!

I'm taking them off

today, what can you do to me?

Stop fighting!

I'll call the police.

This is for you gluing them.

Stop fighting!

I'm calling the police.

Stop it!

I'm calling the police! Stop it!

I'm calling the police.

Stop fighting!

Okay.

I called the police.

Stop fighting!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Get out of my way!

Stop it!

Stand still!

Stand still!

Stand still!

Move!

Shut up.

Move!

Move!

Move!

The woman over there.

Take a message for me.

Building 56, 201.

Take a message for me.

Move!

Do me a favor.

Shut up.

You're not supposed to speak.

-Move! -Take a message for me.

Save it for the police station.

Hurry up. Stop fighting.

Stop fighting.

Move.

Building 56, 201.

Hello.

Who are you looking for?

Auntie.

There was a fight between two groups of people at the intersection.

The police have arrested them.

I think your child is among them.

He asked me to tell you.

Jia, Si has been arrested again.

Hurry.

-Who said that? -Come in.

Come in.

Come in and tell us.

I... I've finished.

Tell us what's going on.

He... they were...

Come on, girl, sit down.

How many of them were taken?

About five or six.

Five or six?

Oh my god.

The police said last time

if they made trouble again,

they'd be detained for 15 days.

15 days?

It looks like they won't get out.

I mean, these kids.

Why did they have to fight for it?

What's wrong with the kids?

It's the fault of these bastards.

It's cold in the station.

What do you think these kids should do?

All right.

Later,

let's go to the police station together.

Let's go get the kids.

Right.

All right.

Go get the kids?

You're looking at it too easily.

Do they have to give you what you ask for?

What else can they do?

Arrest me too?

Come off it.

They can't.

How old are you?

Don't make trouble.

Then what should we do?

We can't

confront the police station.

Let's just sit in front of the police station

all night.

That's right.

All right, all right.

Won't you freeze if you sit there overnight?

Jia, are you coming with us?

If you're not, we'll go.

You see?

Who is it?

Don't think about it.

I told you to move.

Come upstairs.

I'll beat you to death!

All right, all right.

Don't be so impulsive, okay?

Can you solve the problem with that?

That's right.

Even if you go,

they won't let them go either.

I was there.

They did have a fight.

That's a fact.

They don't have any reason to let them go.

Who are you? Which side are you on?

I think she's a relative of his.

She's not.

By the way, kid, who are you?

I'm a businessman from Binhai.

I heard that the factory here is going to be demolished.

So I came to check out the equipment.

It's going to be demolished.

From an outsider's point of view,

you need to find a lawyer

about the demolition.

You need to go through

the legal way.

The factory is going to be demolished.

We can't even make a living.

How can we afford to hire a lawyer?

Besides, it's nothing but a scam.

They're powerful.

It won't change the situation even if you sue.

Water, electricity, and heating have been cut off.

We can't even get paid.

We can't even survive.

How can we afford to hire a lawyer?

It's not that

we haven't thought about getting a lawyer.

But no one is willing to take it.

If you trust me,

I will help you with it.

Why have you been involved in

this kind of thing?

Xu Banxia, I'm telling you.

Don't do anything nonsensical.

You've only been in Shenyang for a few hours.

You don't understand

what's right and wrong there.

I'm telling you. The country is experiencing reform.

The old steel mills are going to be broken up and reorganized.

Then the workers will be laid off.

Those who have been living off the factory

all their lives

will not accept it.

They're going to make trouble

and surround the police station.

Why are you following the ruckus?

I mean, Mr. Zhao.

How can you call this a ruckus?

You weren't there.

Do you know how poor they are?

No water, no electricity, no heating in winter.

Do you know how cold it is here?

I've only been here for a few hours

and I'm freezing to death.

No way.

I can't stand this.

Xu Banxia.

Is your brain damaged

from the coldness?

Do you know

it takes time to file a lawsuit?

Do you have that much time?

Have you forgotten

what you're doing there?

Are you buying the equipment or not?

If you're not, just come back.

Don't get involved.

I want the equipment. And I want to help too.

Tell your lawyer friend

to come to see me at the hotel.

It's okay to carry out the demolition.

But they can't force people like this.

I...

Hello?

Hello? Lawyer Liu?

Yeah, it's me.

I may

need your help.

We are now

connected to the world.

Welcome to the Internet.

Everything is available on the Internet.

What do you want to see?

I can search for it.

I heard about an island

called

Maldives. It's very beautiful.

Do you have it on the Internet?

Here it is.

This…

That's the Maldives?

Yes, it is.

Zhou Qian, come here.

Look.

Oh, my God.

There is indeed

such a beautiful place.

Look at the sea.

It's so beautiful, isn't it?

If I may say so,

it's like

going to heaven, isn't it?

Then you can't go.

I have to go there first.

It's so beautiful.

We have to go together.

I mean, you just started your job.

You have no annual leave. You can't go.

Su, you can't go either.

You have to

at least

wait for us to get back.

That's right.

We'll wait until you get back.

Do you want to go see the sea?

At the pier?

I'm tired of the mud bank.

I mean the sea in the Maldives.

The sea that's as blue as the sky.

Do you want to go? I can take you there.

I'll do as you say.

Do you have a brother?

Your parents are biased

and

want you to send more money home,

so that he can get a wife?

Don't worry.

You'll have money.

What else do you want to eat?

Let's have some dessert.

Then let's buy some cake.

Okay, sure.

Let's take a picture.

I have to leave something behind.

Why have you been

so strange today?

Strange?

Not at all.

Take your pick.

Let me pick it for you.

I think this is good.

Well…

You don't like it?

This is good.

You see?

It perfectly matches you.

Chen.

It's for the wedding photos.

I'll raise money.

What are you talking about, Chen?

I said

I'd raise money.

♫Between half-awake and half-dream♫

♫We see each other across time and space♫

Congratulations.

What a beautiful couple!

♫Take every minute for a year♫

What a godsent marriage!

How wonderful.

♫How much more time is left for us♫

Are you nervous?

No, no, I'm not.

Come on, the groom takes the bride by the waist.

♫Between half-awake and half-dream♫

♫We forget there's tomorrow♫

♫Forget to save some time♫

Where are the flowers? Flowers?

Here they come.

♫So that this feeling will last forever♫

Why are they fake?

I want the real ones.

♫Open my eyes in a daze♫

It's the same. The color is even brighter.

The real flowers are expensive.

♫I wake up and you're gone♫

What's wrong with expensive?

I want the real ones.

Change it for me.

♫I'm back in the dream, but it's no longer connected with yours♫

Good.

Good. Bring real flowers.

Here they are. We have real flowers.

♫Love you♫

It's real. How nice.

♫Dreams seem real♫

♫It changes in no time. The dream is no longer connected♫

You guys, come closer.

Bride, bride.

♫Open my eyes in a daze♫

Is the bride getting

a bit too excited?

♫I wake up and you're gone♫

♫I'm back in the dream, but it's no longer connected with yours♫

♫Love you♫

♫Dreams seem real♫

Do you need a touch-up?

♫It changes in no time. The dream is no longer connected♫

No need.

Let's go straight to shooting.

It's so cold.

Miss Xu is so young.

-Can she do it? -You don't say.

Why hasn't she shown up?

Why hasn't she been back yet?

Is there something wrong?

That's right.

So cold.

Can Miss Xu come back?

How far did she go?

I'm worried.

The car is coming. The car is coming.

It's coming! It's coming!

It's coming! It's coming!

Are the children back yet?

Yes, yes.

Come out.

Miss Xu, you're back?

Thank you.

Don't thank me.

Thanks to Lawyer Liu.

-Thank you. -It's nothing.

Thank you. Thank you.

You're welcome.

Let's get inside.

It's too cold outside.

Thank you for your hard work.

I've made dumplings.

I was waiting for you.

Thank you.

I really appreciate it this time.

We have to thank Mr. Liu.

-That's right. -He helped us.

I understand the situation in general.

The water, electricity, and heating are cut off.

It's a clear violation.

It's a threat.

We can sue them in court.

I was entrusted by Miss Xu.

Of course, if you agree,

I'm happy

to be your lawyer

and help you with the lawsuit.

Before coming here,

I prepared an indictment.

I'll now read it to you.

If you have no doubt about it,

you can sign it.

No, no.

The water and electricity are not a big deal.

The point is that the factory can't be torn down.

The factory can't be torn down.

What should we do if the factory is demolished?

That's right.

We've contributed to the factory.

It's too immoral.

Isn't it?

It's so immoral.

How can we live if the factory is demolished?

We have to defend the factory with our lives.

We have had feelings for it for generations.

You know that?

We've been doing this all our lives.

Haven't we?

You can't just tear it down.

Am I right?

I'm telling you.

We can't agree to this.

Okay, okay.

Don't make a mess.

Let's speak one by one, okay?

Miss Xu, Lawyer Liu.

The factory must not be sold.

Not to mention that we, who have been in this factory

for more than half of our lives,

even my son and the young people

have learned the advanced technology

for this steel plant.

Now the learning suddenly halts

before they even have the chance to use it.

The factory is gone too.

What do you want them to do?

Lawyer Liu.

We agree with you

helping us with this lawsuit.

We only have one request.

The factory can't be sold or demolished

That's right.

No, we won't sell it. We won't demolish it.

We are the first generation of steelworkers.

We've lived here all our lives.

It's been a lifetime.

How can we bear it?

-The factory is our life. -That's immoral.

After it's torn down,

how should

we live?

Should we live on air?

We'll all be laid off.

Should we live on air?

It can't be demolished.

Did you see that?

What they want is not electricity and water,

but to save the steel mill

through the lawsuit.

What are the chances of winning?

No chance.

The steel mill is approved and built

based on the policy of land buying and selling.

All its procedures

are legal.

Besides,

there is only one last process left,

that is, the demolition.

It's impossible to overturn what's already set in stone.

Can we manage to

get some compensation for them?

The point is…

The point is that this is not what they are asking for.

Then we can increase the compensation.

How high is enough?

How much money can ensure

the future of two generations in a family?

Can you make an appointment

with their real estate agent…

Bye-bye.

Let's go.

Make an appointment

with the real estate company owner.

I want to talk to them.

It has to be solved.

Miss Xu.

As a friend of Zhao's,

I would like to advise you.

You should leave this alone.

Xu Banxia, have you lost your mind?

Aren't you there to buy equipment?

How come you go all the way

for a lawsuit now?

Get out of this mess right now.

I've already promised them.

I can't get out.

What's the use of your sympathy?

The real estate agent is supported by policy

and contract.

All the procedures are reasonable and legal.

You can't win

the lawsuit.

Reasonable and legal?

Then is it understandable?

Explain to me

what you mean by understandable.

The times are changing.

Can't you see?

Don't you understand?

Think about it.

When you went abroad to import the steel,

after you came back,

you almost went broke by the steel price.

Why could you suddenly turn around?

It's because of the policy change, isn't it?

It's always the same.

Some people gain.

Some are eliminated.

Banxia,

don't forget about the bidding

now that you're in the Northeast.

Wu Jianshe has been taking action.

We're also working on the bids.

We're waiting for you to come back to discuss

so many details.

Come back, okay?

Are you done?

Are you insane, Xu Banxia?

Do you understand the situation?

You don't even know who you're fighting against

and you just…

I'm not trying to scare you.

You're going to get into trouble sooner or later

if you insist.

Xu Banxia,

when I first joined the company,

we made a deal.

I'm in charge of the company.

Now I'm telling you.

Come back now.

This is not about the company.

This is about me.

Stay out of it.

Okay, if you say so,

I don't care about the bidding either.

I'll quit now.

Let's call it quits.

How dare you?

Zhao Lei.

These are two different things.

This is one thing, okay?

Xu Banxia, let me ask you.

Who is the bidder for this steel mill?

It's you, isn't it?

If something happens to you now,

even if we get the steel mill,

who will be in charge after the bid is awarded?

Me?

I can tell you.

I won't be in charge.

Whoever cares takes it.

Zhao Lei, listen to me.

Leave my business alone.

But you have to take care of

the steel plant bid.

Anyway, you're not going anywhere.

♫The wind is still blowing tonight♫

Beautiful.

♫Thinking of your gentleness♫

They've done a good job.

♫It's so easy with you♫

I mean you look good.

♫It's not like there's no trace of you♫

♫I just miss you so much♫

You look good.

♫How can I dream of you all the time♫

You look good.

You're there for me on the journey♫

Did I scare you that day?

♫I'm not lonely♫

I apologize.

♫You've been so good to me♫

I'm sorry.

♫It's different this time♫

Didn't you say you'd give me a raise?

♫Maybe I should treat you right♫

I should do this.

♫Just like you've been waiting for me♫

I think

♫Dearly beloved, dearly beloved♫

I'm in love this time.

What do you think?

♫Thank you for being with me for so long♫

♫Dearly beloved, dearly beloved♫

In my whole life,

I've never been in love.

♫This is the most exciting time of my life♫

It's the first time.

But I think

it's also the last time.

Sometimes when I think about it,

I think it's a pity.

♫"Dearly beloved, dearly beloved♫

But when I think it's you,

♫This is the most exciting time of my life♫

I don't feel bad anymore.

♫This is the most exciting time of my life♫

Don't hate me, okay?

Look at this.

It's all from Plunger and his buddies.

I've never even seen

so many tickets.

They've been quite diligent in the past few months.

It's no problem to pay some fines.

No problem?

Count them. Is this no problem?

Don't care how many they are. Just pay for it.

We have money anyway.

So they can waste it like this?

Gas and maintenance costs.

This costs a month of profit.

Give them a lesson.

How?

They overload because they want the team to earn more money.

Why can't we pay some fine for them?

If you say so,

we should go bankrupt from paying the fine?

Don't say that.

That's how a bunch of old men work.

Besides,

that's how we've been doing it all these years.

Am I broke or am I finished?

Are you going or not?

No.

Fine.

I am.

Why do you go?

So grumpy.

Yours.

Yours.

It's all yours.

What's this?

Yours.

Yours.

What the hell?

Listen to me!

From now on,

whoever gets the ticket will pay for it.

Boss.

What does that mean?

You don't understand?

I'll say it again then.

From now on, you pay for the tickets yourself.

If not,

I'll deduct it from your salary

and pay it for you.

Do you understand?

Wildcat.

We've been carrying sand a lot lately.

It's normal to have a lot of tickets.

That's right.

Besides,

it's for the sake of the team to earn more money.

So are you justified in that?

So you can

disobey traffic rules?

I think it's because you don't feel bad

with someone cleaning the mess for you.

I don't believe

I can't get rid of your peeve.

Boss.

We didn't mean to do it.

Do you call the shots or her?

Wildcat.

What?

Let's go outside.

Say it here.

Like I can do nothing to you, right?

Tong Xiaoqi. Tong Xiaoqi.

[Top Squad]

Tong Xiaoqi.

Can't you talk properly?

Put me down!

Can you save me some dignity?

Can you continue to work like this?

Why can't I?

What happened to my team?

Did I lose money?

If you spoil your buddies like this,

it's only a matter of time before you lose money.

The team needs to be reformed.

Reform what?

This is the style of my team.

Even if it's hard, we've survived.

It's good for everyone to have fun.

That's all you've got?

Yes, that's all I've got.

So what?

That's fine.

I think

sooner or later, your buddies will have to go to jail.

Fuck off.

Don't jinx it.

Good.

Wildcat.

Mr. Zhao,

did Miss Xu call you?

No.

What about Tong Xiaoqi? Did she call him?

I don't know. You'll have to ask him.

Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Zhao.

Can you stop following me around?

Hello, Mr. Zhao?

Hello?

Did Miss Xu call you?

No, I haven't heard from her for a few days.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

You know what?

Call her now.

Tell her I need to talk to her.

Tell her to call me back as soon as possible.
