[Wild Bloom]

[Episode 35]

President Gao.

Are you okay?

The typhoon is coming.

Look.

These are signs of it.

I've been taking care of my grandson,

washing diapers, warm milk, and cooking.

I also need to cooperate with the Interviews and investigations from time to time.

I suddenly felt that

I'm getting old.

This feeling is getting stronger.

You're still young.

You're not good at flattering people.

Before the investigation,

those young people praised me

how young I looked.

They said, "You look like you're in your thirties."

How couldn't I know whether I'm old or not?

My hair is gray.

I've had the presbyopia.

My skin is loose.

As well as those symptoms that I can't say them out.

They seemed to praise me,

but actually,

they all said

why this old woman hasn't retired

and left them the position.

Don't be angry with them.

Of course I won't.

But many things have happened recently.

Sometimes I thought

they were right.

The development of human society

is to keep updating.

It's the metabolism.

We'll get old and die.

That's why young people

can growth healthily.

In this case, our country

can have better development.

It's all worth it.

I think I'm going to let you down.

Now,

I'm like a grass on the alkaline land,

which appears

and grows quietly,

but now has withered quietly too.

I understand how you feel.

The smuggling is convicted and found guilty.

The prospect of the embezzlement of state assets case

is not optimistic.

The steel mill is closed, and you're facing the shortage of funds.

You'll face the liquidation and bankruptcy.

No one can handle it,

let alone you.

You're still a little girl.

Banxia, when I was in college,

I really liked Guo Moruo's poetry collection Goddess.

One of the poems

is called Phoenix Nirvana.

I hope you can carry on.

Hang in there.

You will be reborn.

Have you heard?

The typhoon this time is called Phoenix.

Phoenix Nirvana

You can't fall asleep

because of the two cases, right?

The case of corruption of national assets

is more controversial than the smuggling case.

Reading and checking every contract

and each numbers makes me believe that

these two cases won't be settled

in two or three years.

Why are you reading these now?

For others,

these are only cold and meaningless numbers and paper.

But for me,

every business,

every contract

and every photo

are full of my memories.

Let's see these until everything passes.

Seeing them now

can only make you worry.

When you see them later,

they will bring you joy.

Seeing these photos

can calm me down,

and help me review the first half of my life,

especially what I've done.

I came from nothing

to this point.

♫The destiny of meeting and parting♫

I owed so many debts of gratitude.

I've had so many grudges, right and wrong.

♫Don't fear the past, don't ask where you're going♫

If I could clear everything,

♫Never say good night♫

I would be able to reconsider my future life.

♫Destined to have a bad fate♫

♫Never say goodbye to the past♫

Look.

This is the photo of our first bucket of gold.

♫Time is merciless to everyone♫

From my first bucket of gold,

♫Like grass♫

to reach the top as the company and an individual.

♫The wind blows and it grows♫

We've been growing wildly again and again.

♫Like a flower♫

♫When it stops raining, it blooms♫

These moments

♫A light of the times♫

are all in these photos.

♫Is shed on the sea level of life♫

♫Like a telescope♫

♫To see the wind and waves in the distance♫

♫A wall of ideals♫

[Autumn of 2002]

♫Lies across love and hate♫

Chen Yuzhou.

You're so cruel.

♫Like a magnifying glass♫

♫It reflects inner yearnings♫

You left

with a mess behind.

What should I do?

How can I handle it?

If you were here,

we could still discuss it.

Look at you.

You went to have some leisure time yourself.

♫Destined to have a bad fate♫

♫Never say goodbye to the past♫

♫Time is merciless to everyone♫

♫Like grass♫

I miss you, bro.

♫The wind blows and it grows♫

♫Like a flower♫

It blooms when the rain stops

♫A light of the times♫

Boss told me two days ago

♫Is shed on the sea level of life♫

that you told her before you leave.

♫Like a telescope♫

You said you left early because of retribution.

♫To see the wind and waves in the distance♫

I didn't believe.

I thought there's no retribution.

♫A wall of ideals♫

But after you left,

♫Lies across love and hate♫

Boss is involved in so many lawsuits.

Our factory has been suspended for months.

♫Like a magnifying glass♫

♫It reflects inner yearnings♫

Workers can't even get paid.

It'll go bankrupt soon.

♫The wildernesses, and the youth♫

I'm a little confused.

♫The sorrow and joy♫

Will there be retribution?

♫Summer comes after spring♫

♫The joy and sorrow, the brave marching♫

But no matter what,

♫A light of the times♫

if you can hear me,

♫Is shed on the sea level of life♫

please tell Boss in her dreams.

Just tell her

♫Like a telescope♫

that she doesn't need to be afraid.

♫To see the wind and waves in the distance♫

Everything will be fine.

♫A wall of ideals♫

She will listen to you if you tell her so.

♫Lies across love and hate♫

♫Like a magnifying glass♫

♫It reflects inner yearnings♫

Xinyi.

How much cash do we have?

Tell me after you calculate the amount.

Got it.

Zhang.

Yes.

Inform all the executives of the company

to be on duty.

We'll have a meeting at 2 p.m.

Got it, Miss Xu.

Miss Xu.

Some of the workers left and some chose to stay.

Some are rushing

here, angrily.

They want to talk to you face to face.

OK.

You two go with me.

I advise you not to go.

Everyone is angry now.

What can you say to them if you go?

-Let me go. -Tong is right.

They're not bad people.

But they're all angry.

It's Miss Xu's car. Miss Xu is here.

Miss Xu is here.

It's Miss Xu.

Hurry up.

Miss Xu.

Miss Xu.

Miss Xu.

Is there anyone who's willing to go to Binhai with me?

I will build a new steel mill

in Binhai.

We really need technical backbones like you.

I know it's hard for you to leave your hometown.

But sometimes people will get better development when they have high mobility.

Let's start a new life together.

At least, you'll have a way out.

We don't know

if your factory can be built successfully.

If we go with you,

but you say you can't make it

and send us back,

we won't be able to live here.

What should we do if that happens?

Once you arrive Binhai,

we'll sign the labor contract immediately.

I will arrange everything

for you.

On behalf of our family,

I'm officially informing you now that

we'll go with you.

During the suspension,

I know you have a lot of complaints.

I also care about you.

During these days,

I've been thinking...

I really want to give you

a satisfactory result soon

as I did last time in Northeast.

But I underestimated the seriousness of the matter,

and overestimated my ability.

I'm sorry.

I sincerely apologize

to you all here.

I really have no choice.

So,

I have to terminate the employment relationship with everyone.

But I will find a way

to compensate you.

We've been waiting for so long

just for such a reply like that?

You're trying to kick us away.

I shouldn't have come.

You're fooling us.

Liar!

Don't worry.

The compensation plan will be out soon.

Let's wait at home.

Let's go home and discuss it.

How about this?

If you have any other requests,

please tell us.

If we can manage it,

we'll try our best to satisfy each of them, okay?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Uncle Jia. Auntie Sun.

Miss Xu.

Don't worry.

Don't be anxious.

Don't be too anxious, everyone.

There's nothing we can't overcome.

Look, we're old.

We can still see the good days ahead.

We have to go forward together.

Yes.

As long as we're here, we'll figure it out.

Miss Xu,

I made dumplings today.

I know you're busy.

I got you a bowl of dumplings.

Take it back.

Thank you, Auntie Sun.

You're welcome.

Everyone,

Miss Xu brought us here

from Northeast China.

She did help everyone, didn't she?

But Miss Xu can't expect

the situation now herself.

Speaking of difficulties,

she's more difficult than us.

Let's not force her.

It's useless to make things difficult for her.

If we can't find a way,

let's figure it out ourselves.

OK?

We can stay here for two more months, right?

Maybe there will be a new opportunity.

Dismiss, everyone.

Dismiss.

Have you ever thought about

opening our own steel mill?

We have our own storage yard,

pier

and our own scrap steel channels.

If we own our own steel mill,

we can make steel ourselves.

Three years later,

not only our storage yard and pier,

I will make this whole area

bright with lights.

No matter how long you've been here,

you've always done your best.

You've been attentive

and dedicated.

You've been accompanying the company's growth

and my personal growth.

At the hardest time of the company,

at my most difficult times,

none of you chose to resign.

I really appreciate it.

But now,

I'll announce a painful decision.

I'll disband all employees of the company.

Please find other jobs.

If one day the company can be back on track,

and you are willing to return,

you're more than welcomed.

I'm sorry.

Today is the last day of work.

You can go home early.

Xinyi.

Sell my house and car.

[Property Ownership Certificate]

Divide the deposit on the account into three parts.

[Notarize Power of Attorney for House Sale ]

One for Chen's parents.

Leave 1/3 for myself

as my living expenses.

And take the rest

plus my share dividends in your company

to compensate

those families that was damaged by the polluted intertidal zone.

Have you really made up your mind?

Yes.

Distribute the money on company's account

to the company's employees and workers of the steel mill.

Each of them can get two more months' salary.

Pay the rent for workers till the end of the year.

As for the rest,

repay part of the loan of the supplier

and the loan interest to the bank.

And then...

File for bankruptcy.

Thank you.

I grew up on this street.

During more than a decade,

nothing has changed.

The barbecue stall was there before.

There was a fat guy over 100 kilograms,

who rode a tricycle and sold pot-stewed fowl.

He started his business at 5 p.m. every day.

Do you remember?

Yes.

You treated Chen and me there before.

I remember Chen likes the duck tongue.

You like chicken legs.

I stole his chicken legs

for several times before.

You did so many bad things when you were young.

I thought they didn't know.

But later I found that

everyone knew it.

They just didn't say it.

I haven't seen him

after I got out.

Then I heard that

he suddenly had a brain hemorrhage

while he was cooking

and he died.

Luckily, he didn't suffer much when he left.

Good.

There used to be an old lady.

She sold the sweet poridge.

I took you and Chen there before.

Do you remember?

Yes.

Actually, Chen didn't like sweet porridge.

He liked Porridge with preserved eggs.

But that's the best poridge

I've ever had.

But that lady passed away a few days ago.

So many years have passed,

this street

has changed too.

I can't find the feeling of my childhood anymore.

There's life and death.

Life is hard.

♫Gently, I will leave you♫

But it's good to be alive.

♫Please wipe away the tears at the corners of your eyes♫

♫In the long night, in the days to come♫

♫Don't cry for me, my dear♫

♫Despite the strong wind and heavy rains♫

♫Please bless me with a smile♫

♫Despite the strong wind and heavy rain♫

♫I'm still missing you so much♫

[Seafood Noodles]

♫In the days without you♫

♫I will cherish myself more♫

♫In the years without me♫

♫Please take good care of yourself♫

♫You asked me when I'd return to my hometown♫

It's raining.

♫I also asked myself softly♫

Hurry up.

♫Not at this time, and don't know exact time♫

Let's go back.

Come on, help me clean it up.

♫I guess I'll be back in winter♫

Where's the plastic cloth?

Hurry up, put away the bench.

♫Not at this time, and don't know exact time♫

♫I guess I'll be back in winter♫

Hurry up. Why are you standing there?

Hurry up, you guys.

It's all wet

♫Gently, I will leave you♫

Come after me.

I'll catch you.

♫Please wipe away the tears in the corners of your eyes♫

Come after me.

♫In the long night, in the days to come♫

I can't catch up you.

♫Don't cry for me, my dear♫

♫The road ahead is bleak♫

♫But please bless me with a smile♫

♫Despite the strong wind and heavy rains♫

♫I'm still missing you so much♫

♫In the days without you♫

♫I will cherish myself more♫

♫In the years without me♫

♫Please take good care of yourself♫

♫You asked me when I'd return to hometown♫

♫Also I gently asked myself♫

♫Not at this time, and don't know exact time♫

♫I guess I'll be back in winter♫

♫Not at this time, and don't know exact time♫

♫I guess I'll be back in winter ♫

♫In the days without you♫

♫I will cherish myself more♫

♫In the years without me♫

♫Please take good care of yourself♫

♫You asked me when I'd return to hometown♫

♫Also I gently asked myself♫

♫Not at this time, and don't know exact time♫

♫I guess I'll be back in winter♫

♫Not at this time, and don't know exact time♫

♫I guess I'll be back in winter♫

You're up

There's honey water on the table.

It's for hangover.

Didn't you say you won't cook?

I need to learn some new skills.

Fried eggs?

This is also a cooking skill, OK?

Let me tell you.

To be listed and the steel mill

are not important to me.

Your happiness is the most important thing.

By the way,

your father contacted me

officially yesterday.

What did he say?

He hopes

we can have a baby soon.

He's afraid you'll be in danger when you're getting older.

What do you think?

I think he's right.

So,

from now on,

no more wine.

Kuan is really

stubborn.

What's wrong with pleading guilty?

She won't lose anything.

Now,

she's lost everything.

Let's see what she will do in the future.

Who does she take after?

I think she's like you.

You are so stubborn.

Where are you going?

To deliver something to her.

Let me see.

Nothing.

-It's just a pile of medicine. -Stop!

Let go!

What are you doing?

Let go!

What are you doing?

Nothing.

There's really nothing here.

Nothing.

Let go!

People will see you.

Give it to me.

You're really something.

I saw it.

What if I didn't?

You just took it away?

You took it without a word, right?

She's in trouble and needs money now.

I'll send it to her.

Xu Youren.

Qian and I are not your family, are we?

You only have one daughter, right?

Qian is so young.

Don't you care about her?

Qian is young. I'll take care of her.

She gave us the money.

We went through without spending a penny.

Don't make me look like I'm neglecting her.

If she begs in front of our home

one day,

I'll take her in.

But now,

she has a home.

She has a husband and a car.

You don't need to care about her.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

She's 100 times better than you.

You can say these.

You only care about your eldest daughter.

Do you love us?

Don't do this. Listen to me.

You...

Listen to me.

Didn't you just say

she has been stubborn since she was a child.

No one took care of her since she was little.

I never took after her.

She is in big trouble now.

She can't say anything.

Xu Youren,

I'm not doing this for me.

I did it for Qian.

For our daughter.

I know, I know.

You know, I'm a father.

If I don't help her now,

how can I face her and myself?

I don't care.

Give it to me.

I don't care.

Xu Youren.

I'm telling you,

If you leave today,

I'll divorce you.

Xu Youren!

I'll be right back.

Let's talk when I'm back.

She's coming.

Miss Xu is out.

Miss Xu.

I don't want your liquidated damages.

I just want steel.

If I can't produce on time,

who will compensate my liquidated damages?

You have so many lawsuits.

Can you pay me back or not?

I don't want the interest,

as long as you can pay me back the principal first.

What are you doing?

Get out of the way!

Get out of the way!

What are you doing?

Miss Xu.

Our company is in urgent need of money.

We can't afford it.

Can you pay us the second installment

in advance?

Miss Xu, don't go.

Can you settle the follow-up payment?

Tell me the truth, Miss Xu.

Miss Xu.

Please don't go, Miss Xu.

Dad.

Seeing your cowardice,

I thought about

if I should find another dad.

But at times like this, I comforted myself that

I could change my worn clothes

but not my dad.

I have no other choice.

I only have one dad.

No matter we're close or not,

you're still my dad.

Without you,

there won't be me.

In my eyes,

you were a jerk before.

But today,

you're a hero

in my eyes.

My girl,

actually, since the day you were born,

I've always wanted to be a good father.

♫I want a home♫

♫It doesn't have to be a fancy place♫

Take the bankbook.

Here's your money. Take it all.

♫When I'm tired♫

I gave you the money, so it's yours now.

Listen to me.

♫I'll think of it♫

Keep it save.

♫It doesn't have to be a big place♫

♫It doesn't have to be a big place♫

OK, pull over here.

♫When something scares me♫

I'll walk back.

♫I wouldn't be afraid any longer♫

♫Who wouldn't want a home♫

Drive savely.

♫But there are just people who don't have one♫

Dad.

Stop pushing your son-in-law.

♫When tears stream down my face♫

He can't give birth.

♫I can only gently wipe them away myself♫

I think lady at your age

should have a baby.

♫I really envy her♫

Right?

♫She can go home when she's hurt♫

Let me think about it.

♫But I can only be all alone♫

This is the medicine to remove the inner heat.

♫Looking for my home all alone♫

I'll leave it here.

You're busy now

and have lots of to do.

♫Although I never had a warm home♫

Come back when you have time.

♫But I still grew up gradually♫

♫As long as my heart is full of love♫

♫I'll be cared for♫

♫I can't blame anyone♫

♫I can only rely on myself♫

♫Even though you have a home and you don't lack anything♫

♫Why can't I see you smiling?♫

♫You always say there's no love♫

♫You don't go home at all♫

♫We're the same age♫

♫But we have different hearts♫

♫Let me have a home♫

Don't worry about my family.

Qian's mother...

Even if she cries again

and argues with me,

♫Even though you have a home and you don't lack anything♫

I'll bear it myself.

If worst comes to worst,

she'll only kick me out.

With some money,

isn't it good to live a peaceful life?

♫Why can't I see you smiling?♫

Why do you always want more?

Why are you so ambitious?

♫You always say there's no love♫

♫You don't go home at all♫

Wang Quan knows you live here.

If he dares to come here,

I'll kill him today.

♫We're the same age♫

♫But we have different hearts♫

Her thought of doing business

is all used on her family.

♫Let me have a home♫

Does she feel regretful for the money she gave us every month?

Does she want to ask it back at once?

♫We're the same age♫

Our father-daughter relationship

♫But we have different hearts♫

is bonded by blood.

Our relation can't not be raplaced

♫Let me have a home♫

by the cheap money.

I'm your biological father,

not your stepfather.

Can you change your preference?

That lady has walked far away.

Boss! Boss!

Coming.

Wait.

Come on.

Get down.

It's endless.

You're always picking with the only handy hand.

Let's help him wash his feet.

Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Slowly.

Come on.

Squat. Squat. Squat.

Oh my god.

Oh my god.

How heartless.

You still gain weight.

Come on.

Turn around.

Turn around.

Here, put it here.

He was so happy

every time we help him wash.

Right?

You came at the right time.

-I'm here to visit Mr. Qiu. -Feng, what did I say?

We should have bathed him.

It's not too late.

Now!

Take the clothes off and bathe him now.

You guys go ahead. I'll go out first.

No.

No need.

We're just kidding.

Is it hot?

Don't say 'ahh'.

It's not that hot.

Test the temperature.

Isn't it hot, right?

You feet

smell like a cow shed.

Boss,

you reminded me of this.

I suddenly want to know the reason

why you were sent to the cow house that year.

I'm asking you.

I was thinking that he could wash my feet

after he went out from the cow house.

You ungrateful thing.

Let me ask you.

Who treats you the best in your life?

No one?

Do you have a conscience?

It's me.

Right.

My contribution to you is worth it.

Is he the only one who treats you well?

I treat you well too, right?

You see.

You're not confused yet.

Okay.

Xu, do me a favor.

Pass me the foot cloth.

Let me ask you again.

Who do you hate the most in this world?

Who?

How kind are you.

You don't hate anyone, do you?

No one at all?

Or did you forget

about the hatred?

Fine, old man.

You can live longer without hatred.

Xu.

Do you know

what he cares the most in his life?

What? Tell us.

Can't you say it?

Tell me yourself.

What do you care the most?

What?

Let me say it for you.

One word.

Money.

-He smiles. -He's smiling.

You have the prettiest smile when we talk about money.

Now our company is bankrupt.

Do you know how much we're going to lose?

Do you know?

He wants to write.

You do?

OK, we have paper.

Let me get it for you.

Let me get it.

You're amazing.

You even know math now?

Write it down and let me see.

What?

Don't bother.

Forget it.

Let me tell you the answer.

We don't have any money.

Nothing at all.

Boss.

You know what?

I suddenly remembered the days

when we went abroad for steel.

I still thought

those days was really memorable.

♫The short life is combined with sadness and joy♫

I feel sorry for everyone

about that thing.

♫In the blink of an eye, it's all gone♫

I was a bit incautious.

After getting the uncertain news,

I took everyone there.

Not to mention how much we've suffered.

♫Who knows the happiness is real and fake♫

In the end,

we even left Xu there.

How ungrateful I was!

♫I have neither regrets nor hate. Life consists of half joy and half sorrow♫

Let me ask you.

If Guo Qidong is here now,

tell me

♫No matter how deep the love is♫

if he can still be

in the same car with us?

♫It's only half of the life♫

♫The other half is the temporary moment in front♫

♫And the eternity behind♫

♫From brightness to darkness♫

Wu Jianshe, you and I,

♫It is only a part of time♫

and also Xu Banxia and Feng Yu.

♫The rest of the life has limited starts♫

We meet, know, interact with each other.

♫Infinite loop♫

This is fate.

What precious fate!

The company made a lot of money.

You're part of my business.

I saved it for you.

Once you come out, I'll give it all to you.

I saved the money for you.

♫How many people still pursue perfection?♫

Qi Bizheng's lying in the hospital right now.

Do you want to live like this forever?

♫Hanging around at the end of time♫

Can't you face him?

You can have the conscience one day.

♫How many people do you pray to meet?♫

♫It appears in the sky of the city♫

What's wrong?

♫No matter how deep the regret is♫

Don't cry.

♫It's only half of the life♫

Be good.

Why are you crying?

♫The other half is the temporary moment in front♫

He's a patient. He is sensitive.

Right?

It's okay.

Don't cry.

♫And the eternity behind♫

Don't worry

Don't cry.

Let's not go with him

♫From brightness to darkness♫

♫It is only a part of time♫

♫The rest of the life has limited starts♫

Take care.

Yes.

My buddy,

♫Infinite loop♫

when you're better,

we have a good place for you.

You can stay at Feng's place

and enjoy your life.

Xu's the youngest one among us.

Let her take care of us.

What do you think?

Are you happy now?

Don't think about money anymore.

♫How many people still pursue perfection?♫

Look further.

How much is enough?

My silly buddy.

♫Hanging around at the end of time♫

When we die, money will mean nothing to us.

♫How many people do you pray to meet?♫

♫It appears in the sky of the city♫

♫No matter how deep the regret is♫

♫It's only half of the life♫

♫The other half is the temporary moment in front♫

♫And the eternity behind♫

♫From brightness to darkness♫

♫It is only a part of time♫

♫The rest of the life has limited starts♫

♫Infinite loop♫

♫No matter how deep the regret is♫

♫It's only half of the life♫
