[Knight of the Rose]

[Episode 1]

(Hong Xingxing.)

(My daughter.)

(24 years old.)

(Ex-special forces.)

(What's different about her from other girls)

(is that)

(she's a little stronger.)

(She does 100 push-ups every morning.)

(She's a little more)

(disciplined.)

(She likes working out a little more than other girls.)

[Today's morning run goal: Ten kilometers]

Thank you.

(She's a little more warm-hearted.)

(Oh, also,)

(every now and then,)

(she stands up for others.)

(She is currently a martial arts instructor for kids.)

She makes good money,

and she's still single.

If you've got

an unmarried son,

bring him

to our morning exercise sessions.

Okay.

You've told us so much,

but how does your daughter look?

Beautiful.

She has a special temperament,

unlike any other girl.

Dad!

I ran 10 kilometers in 35 minutes today.

Do you think you can beat that?

As if I would lose

to you.

Bring it on.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Mr. Wei,

this is the project you assigned me.

Please take a look.

Redo all the things I circled.

I want it done in ten minutes.

Ten minutes?

Mr. Wei,

that's too little time.

I can do it in only three.

No… Mr. Wei!

Oh, no.

Mr. Wei will be here in 30 seconds.

Caicai,

is the quarterly report ready?

Here it is.

Let me see it.

Okay. Thank you.

Jiang!

Hand me the document Mr. Wei signed this morning.

It's all done.

Fangfang,

is the coffee ready?

Yes.

I'll bring it to him right away.

Americano with a double shot. No sugar, no milk.

Americano with a double shot. No sugar, no milk.

Five seconds left. Get ready, everyone!

Good morning, Mr. Wei.

Hello, Mr. Wei.

Good morning, Mr. Wei.

Good morning, Mr. Wei.

Good morning, Mr. Wei.

Good morning, Mr. Wei.

Mr. Wei.

Good morning, Mr. Wei.

(It's so nerve-wracking to see our boss every morning.)

(That's because our boss is a great man.)

Good morning, Mr. Wei.

Everyone,

good morning.

(Wei Lan.)

(Mr. Wei.)

(The new chairman of the Runshi Group.)

(184cm.)

(75kg.)

(Leo.)

(Type B blood.)

(He has the body of a model)

(and the face of a star and idol.)

(A well-educated overseas returnee.)

(Dual Master's Degree in biopharmaceuticals and management.)

(He just passed)

(the intense month-long test)

(his father, the former chairman, gave him.)

(By votes of all the board members)

(besides Vice Chairman Gao Song,)

(he got promoted to chairman from the acting chairman.)

Why did you disclose the QW1 project

to our client

without my permission?

I thought since the QW1 project

was less than a year away

from clinical trials,

it would be fine to reduce the confidentiality of the project.

(The marketing manager made a grave mistake the other day.)

(All Mr. Wei said was this.)

You "thought"?

Maybe you should be the boss, then.

(Mr. Wang)

(was fired that same day.)

(So cool!)

[Chairman, Wei Lan]

Good work with the edits.

Mr. Wei,

for breakfast, would you like xiaolongbao or sandwiches?

If you only drink coffee,

you might get sick and end up in the hospital.

No need.

I'm going to see Zhou Yilin in the lab.

Besides,

there's no way I would end up in the hospital.

Are you all right, Mr. Wei?

Excuse me!

A patient named Wei Lan was just admitted.

Which ward is he in?

Wei Lan…

He's in the physical therapy ward on the third floor in the east wing.

Physical therapy ward on the third floor in the east wing, right?

Thank you very much!

You're welcome.

You're alive!

All I did was sprain my ankle.

You gave me a scare!

Who are you?

Zhou Yilin.

His brother from another mother and another father

and the project director of the Runshi Group's R&D department.

I was just appointed.

Didn't you say you'd meet me in the lab?

How did you end up in the hospital?

Please carry on.

Mr. Wei,

first of all, your sprain is nothing serious.

It won't affect your normal activities.

But as your personal physician,

I need to know

your usual routine.

Do you eat on time?

Get enough rest?

I think I have a healthy routine.

I go to bed at 3 AM and get up at 7 AM.

I suppose I eat my meals on time.

I only order light takeout.

I drink only five cups of coffee every day.

Never more.

I have restraint.

Five?

You call that healthy?

You need someone to look after your health,

or you'll fall sick.

You should know that.

Yes.

I'm here to keep an eye on him.

Don't take advantage of my situation, Zhou Yilin.

Oh, I wouldn't do that.

I'm not that kind of person…

Oh, right! I forgot…

I just got off the plane.

I… I was in a rush

to come see you in the hospital.

So I took your car.

Here's the key.

Here you go.

You…

are that kind of person.

Please wait here, Mr. Wei.

I'll go collect your medicine.

Bye.

[Delta Health]

You finally bothered to come back.

In all honesty,

I heard you got admitted the moment I got off the plane.

I was so worried about you!

I mean,

you don't have a wife

or a girlfriend.

You're all alone with no one to care for you.

I rushed over without even putting my bags down.

I'll serve you.

It won't work even if you do that.

You weren't here when I made that bet

with that old man.

Now, you're back.

But it's too late.

No…

Sorry.

Sorry…

There, there.

Let me buy you a cup of coffee.

No. Juice for you. Doctor's orders.

I'm taking care of you.

I need to be responsible for you.

Got it?

[Huaxia Bank Tower]

Hey. What are you doing?

Stop!

What do you guys think you're doing in broad daylight?

Grab this!

Let's meet up at the usual place!

Talk.

Where did your partner go?

How dare you try to steal!

I've already called the police.

The bags are mine.

Why not say the car is yours too?

The car is mine.

I… I'm sorry…

Mr. Wei, right?

It was a misunderstanding.

That guy stole two of your bags, right?

What else?

I'll catch him for you.

Police.

The thief ran off. I'm following him.

Please come quickly!

Where's Mr. Wei?

Mr. Wei Senior ordered you to keep an eye on his son!

But you slept on the job!

Let's hurry and find him!

Yes.

They're fighting! Call the police!

I was wrong! I won't do it again!

Stay put!

All taken care of.

What's wrong?

I sprained my ankle,

and he stepped on it.

I think it's broken.

Don't touch me!

I can manage.

Okay.

You do it yourself, then.

What are you doing?

Don't kneel.

I don't have a red envelope for you.

Get up.

Come on.

Lean on the car.

Oh, no!

I'm going to be late again!

Mr. Lei will kill me!

Listen.

I don't have time to deal with you now.

I'll leave you my name

and phone number.

If something does happen,

call me.

Of course,

I hope nothing is wrong with you.

Are you crazy?

You think I would want to see you again?

Mr. Wei!

Are you all right?

No, I'm not!

[Hong Xingxing, 1316566090]

Hong Xingxing?

Who is this?

There, there.

Don't cry.

It's all right.

I'm so sorry.

Very sorry.

I'm terribly sorry.

Boy,

don't cry.

Don't worry.

I will deal

with Ms. Hong seriously.

All right?

Ms. Hong

is a very good instructor.

You know that.

But I am her boss.

I do have some authority over her.

Please go back and wait to hear from me.

Please.

Let's go.

Come on.

Don't worry.

I will give you

a satisfactory answer on this matter.

Get well soon.

Don't cry, boy.

See you.

What's wrong with these people?

Ms. Hong.

Mr. Lei.

Come with me!

(What?)

You don't need me to be a substitute instructor anymore?

I'm sorry, Mr. Lei.

Tell me what I did wrong.

I'll change.

Xingxing,

you didn't do anything wrong.

In fact, you did your job too well.

Mr. Lei,

I don't understand what you mean.

Do you remember how you lost

your first job?

(I know you did your best at every job.)

[Sales] (But you spend half your time)

(helping with the investigation at the police station.)

(That interferes with your actual job too much.)

Take that out.

(Police? I've got a thief here.)

Your second job.

Sir,

you haven't paid yet.

I don't have the money.

(Police? Someone tried to dine and dash!)

Do you need me to continue?

But I just taught these kids

the most basic self-defense skills.

I didn't do anything else.

You didn't.

You saw that boy from your class,

Zhao Xiaobao.

Did you see what I had to do to send them away?

My face was an entire mess!

I only got them out the door

after crying and sobbing.

Do you know what they did?

This girl in your class. Qian…

Meimei.

Qian Meimei.

So you know her.

Qian Meimei.

Zhao Xiaobao and Qian Meimei were playing.

Then, Qian Meimei used

the set of self-defense techniques for women

you taught her

and did this and that.

Zhao Xiaobao jumped up and down.

Then, suddenly, he grabbed her by the collar

and…

Sorry, Mr. Lei!

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

But Zhao Xiaobao's arm was twisted.

You taught these kids too well.

Mr. Lei,

I…

All right.

This is the payment

for all your classes from last month until now.

This afternoon's class is canceled,

but I included the payment for that too.

Take it.

But my dad…

Xingxing,

I know.

But please.

You must understand

where I'm coming from too.

Please.

It has only been two hours.

Yet, here we meet again.

You may be the boss,

but there's no need to go this far to get admitted to the hospital.

Whatever for?

Doctor,

when will my foot recover?

It usually takes one week.

But as for you…

You should stay in the hospital for two days for observation.

I can't, doctor.

You know my circumstances…

As your personal physician,

I'm responsible for your health.

You're staying here.

Hong Xingxing.

You're a real harbinger of disaster.

If it weren't for you,

I wouldn't have broken my foot.

That's not all.

The thief that was caught

had two of his ribs broken.

This is…

The person we sent to follow him caught this footage.

But…

they didn't manage to film the part where they caught the thief.

But what we can confirm is

that she is the one who drove Wei Lan

and caught up to the thief.

Put this on the Internet.

Get it viral.

Let everyone on the Internet

know about this.

He's afraid of being embarrassed, isn't he?

Well, I'll make sure he is thoroughly embarrassed.

All right.

Does everyone in the company know?

No.

Only

a small portion of them.

How many is that?

Just…

A security guard or two.

Look at him!

Two or three cleaners.

Three or four company employees.

-It is him! -This is hilarious!

And maybe four to five passers-by.

Mr. Wei,

Mr. Zhou and I have come up

with a solution for this.

Just because it was recorded

doesn't mean it's real.

It could be

a carefully arranged performance.

Or

a rehearsal.

Bring that barbarian here.

Who?

The person who left the note.

Call her.

Tell her to come and see me immediately.

Dad!

Why are you cooking by yourself again?

I told you to let me help!

I can't stomach

your cooking.

Besides,

I can manage on my own.

Dad…

I trained

in the force.

I've got a thick and strong arm.

Look.

My one arm makes up for two.

Dad…

Time to cook.

[Hong Xingxing, Captain of the Blood Wolf Commando Unit]

Blood Wolf, move out.

Attention.

-Chief. -Chief.

The raid

will begin in eight minutes.

All teams

are to be in

first-level combat readiness at once.

Yes, sir.

Civilian passing through.

Stay hidden.

Hong Xingxing,

the bamboo forest is dangerous.

Be careful.

Roger.

Team Two and Team Three, keep going.

On 30 October at 15:27,

five employees

of a biopharmaceutical company in our city

were abducted.

It has been confirmed

that the abductors are hiding

in the No.17 bamboo forest of Basha Town, Jinghai City,

with the hostages.

The UAV reconnaissance results are consistent

with intelligence.

Not sure how the hostages are doing now.

But we can assume

that their situation is not life-threatening.

Blood Wolf Commando Unit,

once the hostages have been rescued and secured,

evacuate the scene at once.

Hong,

the Blood Wolf Commando Unit

is expected to arrive at the assault site in one minute.

Requesting UAV thermal imaging survey.

Request permitted.

Microwave communication is in good condition.

Infrared homing is in good condition.

Thermal imaging reconnaissance activated.

Real-time transmission activated.

Hong Xingxing,

the command is yours.

Return in one piece.

Understood.

The UAV and spotter have confirmed that the hostages

are being held in a bamboo hut

southeast of the base entrance.

The number of enemies inside is unknown.

I'll lead Team One to launch an assault and rescue the hostages.

Team Two, be ready to provide support.

Snipers, find your own positions.

We're surrounded by bamboo, so be careful, don't get hurt.

Make it prompt and quick.

Get it done and evacuate immediately.

Do not linger.

Is that clear?

Yes.

Move out.

Reload the magazine!

All perpetrators on the outside have been eliminated.

(Report. Mission accomplished, Chief.)

Get down!

Dad!

Captain!

Captain Hong!

Dad!

Quick! Blood transfusion!

He is losing his arm.

Prepare for amputation.

[Inbox]

When am I going to get a reply?

[QM - 12138] (120,000)

(USD?)

[Bank: The available balance in your bank account ending with 6161 is 18146.72 yuan]

I'm more than half a million short of my goal.

I need to hurry up and get a new job.

Or else, when am I going to be able

to get my dad a good prosthetic arm?

It's all that man's fault.

If it weren't because of him,

Mr. Lei might not have fired me

so soon.

Hello?

Is this Miss Hong Xingxing?

Yes.

Mr. Wei would like to see you.

Mr. Wei.

Have some coffee.

Mr. Wei,

apple?

Pear?

How about a banana?

I'll…

Just spit it out.

It's not a big deal.

Your father, Mr. Wei,

asked me to talk to you about…

About the two marriage candidates that I rejected,

right?

Father and son of one mind.

Miss Yang

of the Yang Trading Group.

They say she is kind and an animal lover.

I love ponies.

There are three Andalusian ponies

in my friend's stable.

I simply adore them.

I call them

Lucy, Andy, and Mary.

They're just like my siblings.

What sashimi is this?

Basashi. (*raw horse meat)

(She was so speechless that she left in a fury.)

(Then, there's Miss Hou…)

(That's enough.)

I don't even want to go on these blind dates.

That's fine.

I'll help you make one up.

The perfect Mr. Wei

should have a perfect girlfriend.

Physique.

Tall and slim.

Long hair.

Gentle and virtuous.

(If that old man wants one,)

(then I'll give him one.)

I'm a genius.

Hey.

Write what I say.

Finally come around?

Write it down.

Come on.

Tell me.

Short hair.

(Can't go over her ears.)

(Someone who doesn't like to dress up.)

(Hates any sort of feminine wear.)

No requirements for IQ and EQ.

(But she must be physically competent.)

(It's even better)

(if she is straightforward,)

(blunt, and rough.)

As for hobbies and interests…

Music, weiqi, and art are too boring.

I prefer someone who likes

boxing,

parkour,

and

combat sports.

(And…)

(I don't want someone docile and demure.)

(I want someone assertive.)

Collision

creates

sparks of love.

Yes.

That's the kind I want.

Inhumane.

Relay that

word for word to my old man.

If he can find me someone like that,

then I'll marry her.

I just drew

a quick sketch

of your future wife.

Would you like

to take a look and get familiar with it?

Ta-da!

You're just messing with me!

Now, now…

Is this Wei Lan's ward?

Yes.

You must be Miss Hong.

Yes. Hong Xingxing.

Mr. Wei has been waiting for you.

You can go right in to see him.

Okay. Thank you.

There's no one here.

Low blood sugar.

Doctor!

A patient has fainted!

Mr. Wei,

this is the third time we've met today.

Sorry.

I didn't want this either.

You've been overworking lately,

and you injured yourself today.

Your body is at its limit.

You won't last if you keep this up.

You must rest.

As your personal physician…

Doctor.

I will.

I trust you.

Why are you here?

Mr. Wei,

I was the one who saved you.

Thanks.

I'm really sorry

that I hurt you by mistake.

But I saved you just now.

I guess that makes us even.

What do you mean?

I mean,

I don't think you should make me

reimburse you.

Miss Hong,

did you help me just so you could shirk responsibility?

You can't say that.

I never do that.

The accident happened

because I helped you to catch the thief.

But you got caught in the crossfire.

You can't pin all the blame

on me.

Plus,

I lost my job because of this.

Don't worry.

I don't need that compensation

or your money.

That's good to know.

But

you need to help me with something.

You can't make excessive demands!

Nothing that would be worse than what you did.

If any media or person

asks about this,

you tell them

you're my external martial arts instructor

and that you were showing me

how to subdue a thug.

Got it?

I can't do that.

That would be lying!

Fine.

In my current situation,

I can file for compensation.

The medical expenses are one thing,

but with my job and position…

Who knows how much

you'll need to pay me for my loss of salary during my absence from work?

So,

do we have a deal?

You want me to tell them I'm your martial arts instructor.

Okay.

However,

you need to learn a few moves from me first.

I'm not lying, no matter what.

Do you think I can do that

in this state?

Why not?

I've been in worse conditions when I was in the force.

Yet I continued my training.

Okay.

I'll learn.

But if I do,

you have to agree to all my conditions.

We'll talk about that after you've learned the moves.

Let's do it.

First,

turn the thumb outward.

Step up.

Turn.

Hip against the target.

Exert force.

Got it?

Give it a try.

Turn the thumb outward.

Step up.

Turn.

Hip against the target.

Right?

Yes.

Exert force.

Instructor.

I've learned the move.

We have a deal now, right?

Mr. Wei, I need to confirm…

Well… Sorry for interrupting.

I… I'll leave the room.

You weren't interrupting.

Go on.

I just wanted to confirm this.

The driver's salary is 360,000 yuan a year, right?

What are you so excited about?

Make sure you find a reliable one this time.

Don't hire another one that slacks off on the job

and forces me

to deal with a violent woman for no reason.

Yes, Mr. Wei.

Mr. Wei, can I have a word with you?

But I don't want to talk to you.

Do you actually pay your driver 360,000 yuan a year?

You want me to hire you?

I've got excellent driving skills.

I can drive cars, race cars, armored vehicles,

and planes.

Thanks.

I've experienced your version of "Fast and Furious".

Then…

Do you need an assistant or a secretary?

Not everyone can be an assistant or a secretary.

Shorthand, scheduling, and management.

How much do you know about these?

You should take a better look at yourself.

Oh, I know!

I can be your martial arts instructor.

You told me to say

I'm your martial arts instructor.

See?

I only taught you one move,

and you were able to pin me to the ground.

If I could teach you for the long term…

Would I even

last that long in your hand?

That's all the more reason for you

to train harder.

Miss Hong.

I mean, look at your body…

Let me stress this again.

All you need to do

is keep my secret,

and I will not ask you

to compensate me for my loss of salary

and pay my hospital bills.

You said it yourself just now.

You'll agree

if I learn from you.

Doesn't this mean

we've already closed the deal?

When did I say…

You either agree,

or you pay up.

That's all.

You…

Good.

It looks like you got what I mean.

The door's over there.

Thanks.

Wait.

What?

What's with that?

What about it?

Who changed my clothes?

You passed out in the bathroom

and got yourself all wet.

The nurse changed your clothes.

[Hu Dazhuang, Nurse]

I helped.

So you saw everything!

Saw what?

My…

My muscles.

Muscles?

You need to have them

for me to see them.

I'm going to try my luck in the job market today.

I've got this!

Hello?

Hello, Miss Hong.

This is a call from Datong Trading.

Unfortunately,

your resume did not pass the initial screening.

Thank you.

I've lost six jobs

in six months.

Am I that bad at this?

When am I going to be able

to buy my dad the prosthetic arm he needs?

Trying to stalk me

with just this?

You followed me for two blocks.

Talk.

Do you want to settle this publicly or privately?

What are my options

for choosing either of those?

Well, the first option means

I'll report you to the police.

The latter means

you turn yourself in.

You can choose to do either one.

And if I choose neither of them?

Neither of them?

I'll teach you a lesson, then.

Mercy, Xingxing!

Ling Ting?

Xingxing,

I haven't seen you in a long time.

You're still as sharp as ever.

Stalking a soldier from special forces in disguise on the street.

Aren't you worried that I might hurt you?

I'm not trying that again to find out.

When did you come back from the US?

What about university?

Well,

I heard you retired, so I came back to keep you company.

Smooth talker.

Tell me.

Were you forced to come back because you didn't do well

in your studies?

Xingxing.

You should know me better than that.

I got a full scholarship to study in the US.

I've got an average 4.0 GPA, and I was the first in class for my finals.

Who would kick me out?

I just got tired of studying those boring books.

So I took a gap year to come back

and do an internship

to find my goal in life.

When will I

achieve my goal in life?

What are you doing?

Screening jobs for you.

How do you know I'm out of a job?

You look so down

and mopey and lost.

What other reason could there be besides losing your job?

I found one.

Look.

[Runshi Group Recruitment]

Personal special assistant to the chairman of Runshi Group.

Annual salary

up to 400,000 yuan!

400,000 yuan?

But what does that have to do with me?

I think you can do it.

I'll list the requirements.

Must be able to drive.

How are your driving skills?

I was the runner-up in the force's cross-country car race

for three terms.

Must be proficient in English.

I passed CET-6 when I was still in the force.

Must know basic self-defense.

I don't need to defend myself.

People need to defend against me.

See?

This is tailor-made for you!

If I do get all that money,

I can afford my dad's prosthetic arm.

Nice work, kid.

Thanks!

Hong Xingxing,

can you stop treating me like a child?

How should you address me?

Miss Xingxing.

Miss Xingxing,

are you still single?

How do you know?

No girl with a boyfriend

would be on the streets by herself.

Am I right?

Oh, you. Fine. Yes.

[Resume]

[Hong Xingxing]

Ms. Sun,

today's the last day I need to stay here, right?

Yes, Mr. Wei.

Make it 5:30 PM.

I need to make a trip to the company.

I don't think you can do it.

Your father is here.

Sir.

I let you take over as chairman.

But to think

you would land yourself in the hospital

right after taking over.

Thanks for the concern.

I'll find you an all-around and capable assistant

to help you.

That won't be necessary.

Why did you come back?

Did you forget our bet?

I'll leave after checking on you.

Wei Lan,

considering your condition,

you should get a personal assistant.

Are you resorting to conciliation

just to put a spy around me now?

That's uncalled for.

Give up.

My answer will be the same

no matter what you try.

I don't need it.

Wei Lan!

Remember this, child.

A kite can only fly

as far as the kite-flier holds the string.

Without that string attached,

you'll fall!

I won't give you any more chances to control me.

Go back to Europe.

You!

You think you're so tough now.

Fine. Don't hire an assistant.

Watch me

bring you down!

Hello?

Wei Lan,

something happened to your father!
