(Supplementary Terms on Partnership's Interests)

This is the benefit solely for you.

Our company treats everyone with respect

and we don't hope our members devote themselves to the career

at the expense of their families.

Therefore, after discussing with Yihui,

we decided to solely provide

some subsidies to you as the benefits of your partnership.

Have a look at it.

If you agree to it,

sign it.

Because the conditions I raise

are necessary conditions for the partnership

so if she signs it but fails to fulfill them,

she violates the contract.

Madam Tang, you are her friend.

Shouldn't you be frank with her

and talk to her in person?

If she did

regard me as a friend,

she wouldn't have lied to me.

An adult is liable for her actions.

Don't you agree?

Mr. Jin.

I would like to tell you something.

- Mr. Jin. - Don't sign it.

Don't sign anything.

It's a trap.

They are testing you.

A trap?

Listen.

If you sign it,

you'll become a fraudster.

Mr. Jin.

Miss Qin is a capable attorney.

She has done so much

for your firm

but your firm has harsh

and unfair rules.

That's why she...

Yang Hua.

Just listen to me.

They already knew.

I know.

You do?

Mr. Jin, Madam Tang.

As to why

I hid my true marital status from you,

I will not give any excuses.

But

I need to say my piece.

The law firm

imposes a glass ceiling

for single female attorneys.

I hope

you can give everyone a chance and only promote those

who are capable.

That's how you can prevent

another situation like mine.

I respect you as my seniors

and my superiors.

I hope you

can see the sincerity

in my apology.

Are you criticizing us here?

Feifei doesn't want to see you

and wants you to go back.

What happened to you two?

Junhui.

What are you doing here sitting there quietly?

That can't solve the problem.

I'm so worried about you two.

You're always like this.

One is a crybaby

while another is a robot.

You two are engaged.

What is this episode?

Mrs. Wu, it's all my fault.

I'm sorry.

You already said that

many times.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

What exactly did you do?

Come with me.

You.

Is there another woman?

What I'm about to tell you

will stay between us.

You're a talented man.

30 years ago,

you could

very well outdo me.

But in this society,

most wealth is gathered

in the hands of the few.

What you can have

depends on how much the one above

is willing to give you.

Without a network,

how high can you reach

if you're just relying on yourself?

A law partner of Cheng & Hui?

Its senior partner?

Without talent and network,

you can't even be a partner.

You can establish your own law firm.

Take up some trivial cases here and there.

You want an important case?

You need to pull the strings.

Do you have it?

Xi Mei was founded 25 years ago.

I plan to retire

when it celebrates its

30th anniversary.

Junhui.

A good relationship

can make a woman happy forever.

But what makes a man

happy forever

is not just a good relationship.

Do you know what else?

A career.

I thought you were smart.

A smart person always weighs the pros and cons

before picking the best option.

Do you get it now?

I do, Mr. Wu.

Feifei might not be the best woman

you will encounter in your life.

But she is the one who truly

has your interest at heart.

Don't hurt her.

Don't let her down.

Let me pour you a glass of water.

I want some wine.

Wear your slippers.

How do you know it was a trap?

How do you...

Whatever.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Come.

What do you think Mr. Jin

and Madam Tang will do?

A firm partnership

is out of the picture.

Maybe I'll be fired too.

Madam Tang

won't want

to let me go like that.

In fact,

she has been very kind to me.

Slowly.

Why should I let this slide?

She should go out and see

which law firm will treat

its employees as kindly as I do.

She is like a sister to me.

But she

lied to me for two whole years.

She's a fox.

She grew arrogant

because I pampered her.

How can she do

such a ridiculous thing?

And she even

had the audacity to say we

forced her to do that.

She has no shame at all.

Shameless!

There, there.

I get why she lied.

Our recruitment system

was a bit discriminatory.

Don't lecture me on discrimination.

What does this business require?

Talents.

Do you know how much I have to invest in

to nurture a senior lawyer?

When those women came,

they came with sweet promises.

Like, no, I'm not going to get married.

No, I'm not going to have a child.

But then what happened?

Remember?

20 incumbent attorneys,

6 of which got pregnant within a year.

I couldn't fire them.

I had to pay them. But no one was working.

I'm a woman too

so I know I should sympathize

with expecting women.

But I'm also the owner.

Who can sympathize with me?

That's why I understand why she did that.

Qin Shi

did a spectacular job

in our firm.

To preserve her cover,

she even registered with Yang Hua.

I'm impressed.

She did a spectacular job

because I gave her the stage.

And we already made an exception

by offering her a partnership this early.

Don't meddle in this.

Fortunately, she did the good thing today

by coming clean.

It means she still has a good conscience.

If she did sign the contract,

then she would be caught lying to us red-handed.

We could even send her to jail.

See?

Even you don't want her

to sign it.

That's why I told you to move on.

Don't hold grudges.

If you're mad at her,

just make her resign.

Qin Shi is capable

but she isn't irreplaceable.

She's not worth

frowning over.

Resignation? Impossible.

Calm down now.

Getting some wrinkles for this

isn't worth it.

Stop drinking.

You drank too much.

When Mr. Jin took out that contract,

I really wanted to come clean.

But there were

two voices in my head.

One of them was you.

You asked me to judge with my heart.

But the other voice was from...

Either way,

he told me to judge with my career.

He told me to remain silent.

I was in a dilemma

but you won.

Do you know why?

Because in that crucial moment,

I thought of someone.

Who?

I thought about my brother.

I came clean to him

and told him I lied to him.

Did he scold you?

He said he felt bad for me.

He said

I didn't have to be this competitive,

this hardworking.

But...

But I saw what my mom was like.

I know I can't be weak.

Because I'll be bullied.

I will become stronger.

I will work harder.

I want to be the top 20%.

I don't want to be a nobody.

But at that moment,

I faltered.

I didn't know

what my heart wanted.

Yang Hua.

After I graduated from my school,

I worked in a law firm as an intern.

I followed behind

a criminal defense lawyer.

I saw many, many criminals.

Murderers, arsonists,

rapists. I saw them all.

Everyone said

they made a bad decision

in the wrong moment.

But I didn't believe them.

I said that was impossible.

They were born evil

and greedy.

But today, I realized

I'm not exactly

beyond them.

Yang Hua.

I am a hypocrite.

Do you look down on me?

Yang Hua, I think I'm screwed.

I thought I could use

empowering women as an excuse.

I feel criminal.

Come.

No, you aren't.

I know you're just consoling me.

No, I'm not.

I just want to let you know

that I've been there.

Really?

You're not the only one here

who has been enticed

and who later found out

how weak and greedy you are.

Really?

You asked me

about Yao Yao.

I didn't tell you

that I broke up with her

because Qiu Jianxiang

wanted me to be with his daughter.

(I was young and cocky.)

(I had everything.)

(Everyone wanted me.)

(They told me)

(I would eventually)

(be more successful)

(than Qiu Jianxiang.)

Yang Hua.

I know

Yao Yao is a good girl.

But have you thought this through?

She is an air stewardess.

She will reach her ceiling soon.

But you're different.

You will be a giant in finance.

You two are not good for each other.

Instead of dealing with this mess

in the future,

why don't you break up with her now?

It will be less ugly.

Mom, I don't have time for this.

Just mind your own business.

(I promised Yao Yao many times)

(that I wouldn't leave her)

(and I wouldn't)

(accept Qiu Jianxiang's offer.)

(But)

(was I)

(enticed?)

(I kept telling myself)

(that I was still young, only 22 years old.)

(Let's see when I became a fund manager.)

(Let's see when I had more money.)

(I was a hypocrite and a coward.)

(And then,)

(Yao Yao had had enough)

(and left me.)

(Back then,)

(I did not know)

(how hollow I was.)

And then,

Yongli 21 happened

and I lost what I thought

was mine.

That's when I know

prodigies or geniuses

are nothing

in front of greed.

But you're different.

You made the right choice

in the key moments.

You reflected upon yourself.

You felt guilty for your

deviousness and that means you have

a brave and kind soul.

If I need a lawyer,

I'll entrust everything to you.

If Madam Tang and Mr. Jin see this,

they won't let you go.

If they fail to see it,

then forget it.

We'll find another way.

You have the talent.

You will shine wherever you go.

(You can do it!)

(I have switched off the alarm for you.)

(Just sleep in.)

(If your stomach is grumpy,)

(there's honey on the bedside table.)

(If you think you caught a cold,)

(drink some cough syrup.)

(Make your decision once you feel better.)

(If there's a problem,)

(call me.)

Good luck, Qin Shi.

A real warrior can face a bleak life.

I can't.

Don't they say rest for a bit

when you fall?

I haven't had enough rest yet.

It's okay.

Unlike Yang Hua,

you can't earn money at home.

You have to face it.

You can do it.

(Cheng & Hui Law Office)

You have the audacity

to appear before me.

How shameless of you.

Hui...

Madam Tang.

So many things have happened yesterday

so I didn't have time to say it.

I know

I owe you an apology

in person.

An apology?

Why?

Aren't we the ones at fault?

I know

I let you down.

I failed you.

You viewed me as your sister.

You look after me. You pampered me.

Without your guidance,

I wouldn't be who I am today.

So

I should apologize to you.

I...

Yes?

I'm willing to accept whatever decision

you have in mind.

If you don't want to see me,

I will resign right away.

If you make a mistake,

you should be punished for it.

But you think

a resignation can make up

for the damage you caused?

I'm willing to accept any forms

of punishment.

You said it.

But considering

my work and what

I have done so far,

can I ask for leniency?

If possible, I...

Qin Shi.

Whether you can be an attorney or not

and where

your office will be or

what cases you will handle...

Your entire career is in my hand.

You have no leverage.

I just have a very tiny

suggestion.

Am I smiling?

You will have one last chance.

My treat later.

Brown sugar milk tea with tapioca pearls.

I'll take your word for it.

No taking back.

It's my job.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Mr. Qiao, we have a newcomer?

I guess so.

You'll be her colleagues now.

So please look after her.

- Don't worry. - Sure.

Miss Qin?

Hi, I'm Qin Shi.

I'm the new legal assistant.

I look forward to learning from you.

Now you'll be in charge

of Tianhang acquisition.

Isn't Qin Shi in charge of it?

I gave her another project.

(Li Dai, Enterprise Lawyer)

Serve you right, Qin Shi.

Serve you right.

I am so unlucky.

(I am unable to witness this magnificent scene.)

(This will be the biggest regret of my life.)

Qiao can't keep a secret, can he?

Are you done laughing?

I'm going to hang up then.

Let me guess.

You must be hiding in the toilet now.

Right?

Impossible.

Qin Shi, I commend your bravery.

If I were you,

I wouldn't have the cheekiness

to return to the family department like this.

You sure a cut above me.

Are you still on that sanctimonious duty

to overturn the unspoken rules

in Cheng & Hui?

Yes, why shouldn't I?

Qin Shi.

Do run a genealogy test.

I think you might be

a descendant of Don Quixote

(Do you need me to comfort you?)

I could buy you lunch.

We can take a photo

to commemorate today.

It will be

my source of happiness for a long time.

I have to hang up now.

My client is calling.

Client? What client?

Hey.

Hi, I'm Qin Shi.

You are a bunch of crooks.

You promised

so many things

before me

but in the end,

it's all a lie.

Miss Qin.

I'm telling you now.

If Tianhang will not hand over

my file within three days,

just wait for the court summon.

Hello?

Okay.

I see.

Thank you.

Tianhang is closing the deal

with Nanzhou Group and Anlyu.

We don't need

Yao Yao's cooperation anymore.

They are now drafting

the acquisition contract.

Isn't that great?

Why are they making it difficult for Yao Yao?

Don't they want a happy ending?

You have to ask Mr. Yin about that.

Don't stop me.

You can't come in, Miss Yao.

What are you doing, Yin Zhiqiang?

How dare you switched my post?

Two days ago,

you asked me to cooperate with the company.

I did.

And what are you doing now?

Yao Yao.

You are beautiful

so don't get angry.

Don't forget

that as a member of our staff,

you should follow our rules.

Why should I lead the training program?

Indeed.

We spent a fortune to let you study

overseas.

And now, we

need more capable individuals

like you.

Therefore, we will establish

a training program

and you will be its leader.

As the program leader,

you'll have more time

for your family.

Isn't that a win-win solution?

What?

What on earth

is wrong with Mr. Yin?

He begged her to help

and now, he kicked away the ladder.

From the Head of Client Service

to a Training Program Leader,

isn't that a demotion?

If I were Yao Yao, I would quit.

Mr. Yin and Yao Yao

are not on good terms.

If it weren't for the acquisition,

he wouldn't turn to Yao Yao at all.

No wonder.

Only selfish people

will lose

a lawsuit intentionally.

Having a boss like him

is a nightmare.

Our reputation

is at stake now. What should we do?

We're just handling the acquisition.

The rest has nothing to do with us.

Knowing

Yao Yao,

she will file a lawsuit.

And then, Cheng & Hui

will most probably have to handle it.

We have to be the bad guys again.

Yao Yao this, Yao Yao that.

What about your current situation?

I'm fine.

Why didn't you listen to me?

Just deny it.

He didn't have the evidence.

Do you know

you missed the chance

to be a firm partner?

Why do you want me

to obey you all the time?

It's not

as serious as you made it out to be.

Madam Tang needs to vent.

And I'm cheeky enough

to be placed

on an exhibition.

But didn't you want

to be a partner?

Do you know why

you're not one?

You're too emotional

and naive.

Gullible.

Not all good people get a good ending.

You're too kind.

Feifei, where are you going?

To work.

The meal is ready.

Leave once you have eaten.

What work?

Feifei?

Goodness.

Why are you so quiet?

Are you regretting it now?

No.

Yes.

No.

Yes.

Why is it hard to do

the right thing?

But that's

precisely why

those who attempt it are strong.

No.

What no?

You can't just comfort me

that easily.

No.

You have to continue to comfort me.

If I tell you

Tianhang's acquisition

will fail,

will you be happy?

Go ahead.

Do you know why Tianhang,

a company with unimpressive revenue,

high asset depreciation rate,

and bad management,

is highly sought after

by its peers?

Are you referring to

the Smart City?

I heard

Hu Ping is taking part in it.

He is considering

but

I don't think

it will take a long time.

The project is not feasible.

Why?

In this project,

Hu Ping covets

the new power station.

It has an excellent production model

and it embodies the future trend

of the energy market.

The projected yield

is very promising too.

However, when established in a new city,

from the construction, to operation,

and to self-sufficiency,

it will take a very long time.

The global economy is taking a downturn.

The factory's productivity is declining.

And the vacancy of the office building

is at an all-time high.

All these are not good

for a power station.

Regardless of how many occupants there are,

it has to keep churning out energy.

And this alone implies

that its cost is astronomical.

In that case,

Hu Ping should have turned this project down.

What is stopping him

then?

The cost of energy.

The cost of energy?

From a macro perspective,

this is a good project.

The challenge

lies in covering the potential losses

stemmed from its costly early stage.

For this project,

many assume

that the cost of energy will rise.

As a result,

the loss that comes with it will rise too.

Therefore, the fluctuation of energy price

in the next few days

will affect Hu Ping's decision.

So you are pessimistic about it.

Knowing him,

he won't take the risk.

Hi, Mr. Zeng.

Yes.

I have made up my mind.

I might have to let you down.

Sorry.

Tell Yang Hua

to come here

for dinner.

Yes, sir.

Miss Qin.

(Starting over)

(isn't scary.)

(Muster your courage)

(and take their paths)

(so they have nowhere to go.)

Hi Miss Kong.

We have received

the notice of hearing.

Next Wednesday.

Let me know when

you can come here.

We can discuss

our strategy.

Do you need help?

No,

Miss Qin.

It's a small matter. I can handle it.

I can handle all cases.

Feel free to ask me.

Wrong.

A complaint should be simple.

No need to be verbose.

Thanks, Miss Qin.

Thanks for your hard work, everyone.

Get some milk tea. It's my treat.

Thanks, Miss Qin.

It's my favorite

brown sugar milk tea with tapioca pearls.

Back to work.

Want some milk tea?

You want to buy a house?

You want to buy a house for real?

Don't forget your promise.

You'll help me apply

for the internal bank loan interest discount.

Let me hug you.

Welcome to the world of real estate slavery; (Account Department Office)

Do you remember

what you said to me?

You said I had lost my mind

because I was willing to trade my future

and my happiness for a cold, concrete box.

And now, I shall return them to you.

As the famous adage goes,

karma always catches up to you.

Wait.

You said you wanted

to use your pension

to buy a house.

What changed your mind?

I want to propose to Qin Shi with it.

Pro...

Don't tell anyone.

But aren't you married?

Wow.

Have a seat.

Miss Wu,

do you need me?

I'm quite busy.

You are quite resilient.

You lost everything

and you still have the guts to stay here.

Just how obsessed are you with Cheng & Hui?

I always think

people like you are proud.

Where are your dignity and pride?

Gone?

You would do everything

to achieve your goal.

Are you done? Continue.

I'm all ears.

Qin Shi...

Do you know?

As an attorney, insulting others without profanity

is our bread and butter.

I could reproach someone

for 30 minutes straight without repeating

the same vocabulary.

Do you want me to teach you?

Just how shameless are you?

Besides, did you just give me

a compliment?

Go out and ask

those people out there

who

didn't play by the office politics?

Before they

got their position here,

they have been tested countless times.

Oh.

Back then,

in the very same office,

I asked you

if you had what it took

to survive in this environment.

If you do not,

you should go back and rest.

Just so you know,

I'm different from the likes of you.

Indeed.

You are a senior lawyer,

in a spacious office.

But how did you become

a senior lawyer again?

Whether you deserve this position

or how long

you can stay there,

you know the answer

better than I do.

Also,

do you know?

Although you

are a senior attorney now,

but none of them...

Sorry.

Other than the one you bribed,

none of them

has any respect toward you.

Do you know why?

Because they know

they can't learn anything from you.

You didn't get

into this office on your own.

You relied on your dad.

Compared to them

who fought their way here,

your action

is the greatest

insult and disrespect.

Don't you lecture me

while standing on a moral high ground.

There's no way your hands are clean

or you didn't pull any tricks.

I did.

I admit

that to circumvent the unspoken rules here,

I lied.

I'm not proud of that

nor will I find an excuse.

And so

those people out there

can criticize me

and look down on me.

I deserve that.

Because I did snatch what

could have been others'.

But you

can't do the same.

I... What about me?

You hoard company resources. You took shortcuts.

But worse, you didn't even outsmart me.

All you ever did was saying "Daddy, please".

But our law firm was generous enough

to turn a blind eye to it.

But after you pulled the daddy card,

where's your brain and competence?

Other than some dirty tricks and stirring up catfights,

what can you do?

Using the daddy card is fun

but will it work all the time?

My dear friend.

Nepotism makes you look cheap.

By the way, this is a law firm.

A society.

Not your home.

If you think

you are above everyone,

then prove it to everyone.

Otherwise,

anyone beyond this office

can get rid of you

at any given moment.

And then,

you might need to start calling them daddies too.

Qin Shi, leave now!

Sure.

Do you want some coffee?

With cream and sugar?

Miss Qin.

Back to work.

Well done, Miss Qin.

(Resignation Notice)

Is this your final decision?

My father

wants me to go back to help him.

I guess I can only

turn you down.

What about Mr. Tao?

Will he leave with you?

Why will he?

I think he fits in here

better than I do.

Isn't that right?

If this is your final decision,

I will not make you stay.

Cheng & Hui and Xi Mei

can always collaborate,

can't we?

Of course.

All the best.

Thank you, Madam Tang.

You came at a great time.

I haven't cooked

for many years.

Try it and tell me

if it's good.

If it's not good...

Oh, well. I tried.

You look cheery, Mr. Hu.

I thought

losing the Triple Supply project

will put a damper on your mood.

It can't possibly sour my mood.

You can't earn all the money

in the world.

And at my age,

you know

money isn't the most important thing.

So your firm wants Hu Ping

to invest in it?

Take that question mark away.

It is a fact now.
