[Episode 4]

Mr. Wei,

I'm so sorry.

I didn't know it was you just now.

I...

So tell me.

How much did the old man pay you?

What old man?

Hong Xingxing.

Since when do you refuse to admit what you did?

Admit what?

What is this?

Mr. Wei,

put it down first.

What is this?

Mr. Wei, give it back to me.

Answer my question first.

What is this?

Give it back to me first.

Answer me first.

Give it to me first.

Answer me.

I...

I told you to give it back to me.

This is very expensive.

Hong Xingxing...

Mr. Wei.

Hong Xingxing, you...

I'm sorry, Mr.Wei.

You...

I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?

But...

I...

This is an anti-tracking device.

I suspect someone installed a GPS tracker on your car.

So I'm here to inspect the car for you.

What set you off so early in the morning?

Didn't my dad send you to keep tabs on me?

I've told you countless times

that I don't know who your dad is.

Besides,

would you even find out

if I was a spy your dad sent?

You can question my character.

But you can't insult my professional skills.

Let me help you...

Stay away from me.

Stay away from me.

Then I'll be safer.

I'll stay away from you.

Let me inspect your car first.

Found it.

What did you find?

A GPS tracker.

When I was sorting out the files for you yesterday,

I noticed something strange.

There was an interference in the dashcam footage

of your company car,

and it wasn't just any interference.

So I suspect someone installed a GPS tracker on your car.

It was just as I thought.

That means I was followed for these past few days.

No wonder I was attacked by the motorcyclist

during my morning exercise.

Don't worry.

I'll protect you.

Do you know how many times I got injured

under your protection?

That was just a misunderstanding.

In that case,

the reason you went through my office last night was...

How did you know I was looking for tapping devices

in your office?

I know you're dating at the office too.

You mean Ling Ting?

He's my neighbor. I see him as a little brother.

He was only delivering dinner to me last night.

We're not dating.

Does he have a girlfriend, then?

I don't think so.

Mr. Wei, why are you so curious about Ling Ting?

Is it because he's more handsome than you?

I don't care if he's handsome or not.

You, on the other hand,

don't bring outsiders into the office in the future

and violate the company's security regulations.

The situation is much more serious than expected.

We haven't found the mastermind

who bribed Feng A'di

and the explosion at the lab.

Now, your car is being tracked.

Mr. Wei,

how many enemies do you have?

I would never do anything meaningless

like counting the number of enemies I have.

So what if I have many enemies?

As long as it's something that I want to do,

I'd definitely do it,

and no one can stop me.

Oh.

I almost forgot.

The safe distance is 50cm, right?

Well, I've changed it.

For you,

a distance of 30cm will do.

This close?

What are you doing?

Why are you so nervous?

Isn't this a normal distance between friends?

By the way,

you don't have to do the task

I assigned you last night.

Does that mean

you're taking me to the cocktail party?

Why are you more eager than me?

I simply want to fulfill my duty to protect you.

Didn't you say I'm a spy?

So I have to find the spy to prove my innocence.

Then,

I'll go get ready.

Stop right there.

Come back here.

I didn't say you could go.

You still don't trust me.

I never said that.

It's settled, then.

I'll make you agree.

Xingxing,

Mr. Wei said you don't have to do it anymore.

You can get off work now.

He said

he'd take me to the cocktail party

if I complete these tasks.

As the owner of the company,

I'm sure he'll keep his word.

Xingxing...

Why don't you go home first?

I can take care of this myself.

So don't worry.

All right then.

Zhou,

do me a favor.

Right now.

I want you to write a program that automatically organizes files

and install it on Hong Xingxing's computer.

Why didn't I find this earlier?

See? I knew it.

A huge company like this

would never sort its files manually.

You'll have to keep your word this time.

Mr. Wei.

It's all done.

Please check it.

Good job.

Mr. Wei,

don't you think you forget about something?

Oh,

you can get the finance department to calculate your overtime pay tomorrow.

You went back on your word.

You're speaking rudely to your boss.

So half of your overtime pay will be deducted.

You said you'd take me to the cocktail party

if I complete these tasks.

I remember saying

this matter ends here,

and I have my own plan.

Ms. Hong.

Get out of my way!

Mr. Wei,

what are you up to?

I don't get it at all.

That's because you're stupid.

Me? Stupid?

I

finished writing a program in ten minutes

and helped Hong Xingxing complete her tasks. And you're calling me stupid?

I'm being serious here.

You asked me to help Hong Xingxing complete her tasks.

But why aren't you taking her to the cocktail party?

If you're not taking her to the cocktail party,

why did you make me help her with her job?

Don't tell me

you still suspect she's a spy Mr. Wei sent.

Suspecting her is another matter.

The fewer people are exposed,

the less danger there'll be.

It's such a simple reason.

How can you not know

even if she doesn't know?

Please elaborate.

My plan will also work without her.

Care to know?

Tell me about it.

My plan

will also work without him.

[Suspects: Zhaozhao, Fang, Jiang, Caicai]

(Zhao likes Mr. Wei.)

(So she can't be a spy.)

(As for these two ladies,)

(they're incapable of being spies.)

(As for Caicai...)

[Suspects: Zhaozhao, Fang, Jiang, Caicai] Buy it yourself. Why take mine?

(That's odd.)

(Why is he stealing glances at Mr. Wei?)

(Trying to expose me, huh?)

(I used to be an experienced scout.)

Xingxing,

you've been working all day.

Let's go to the toilet together.

Go to the toilet

together?

(Going to the toilet with other girls)

(was my childhood dream.)

(Every time I saw girls going to the toilet together,)

[Toilet] (I was so envious.)

(While I...)

It's been a while.

I'll see you at the basketball court later.

Sure.

I'll beat you guys to a pulp.

I'll see you there later, then.

-Bye. -Bye.

(I wished there was a girl)

(who'd ask me gently)

(if I wanted to go to the toilet together.)

Xingxing?

Yes?

Do you want to go to the toilet together?

Sure.

(I didn't know putting on makeup would be this detailed.)

Xingxing,

don't tell me you've never put on makeup.

I did when I was performing a mission back then.

But this one looks pretty hard.

Let me help you put on makeup, then.

It's okay.

It's the working hours now.

It'll be quick.

I'll give you a nude makeup look.

Others would wonder about you becoming prettier.

But they'd never expect that you've put on makeup.

The cocktail party will be hosted by Runshi this time.

The person who's sabotaging us

will definitely be there.

On the one hand,

we need to increase the security level of the cocktail party

and use the invitation card

as the standard admission.

On the other hand,

we need to know more about the guests

according to the invitation we've sent out

and sort them based on the cooperation they had with us.

After we've shortlisted a few suspects,

we'll verify the perpetrator during the cocktail party.

I still don't get it.

Why wouldn't I call you stupid then?

Mr. Wei, sign this.

(Why does she look prettier out of a sudden?)

Did you put on makeup?

Why are you wearing lipstick?

(This is what straight men like.)

A straight man would never think it was because of lipstick.

If he noticed it,

he's either not straight

or he has feelings for you.

(Please don't.)

(You must not have any feelings for me.)

Don't do this in the future.

Focus more on your work.

It doesn't affect my work at all.

[36th Pharmaceutical Development Exchange Forum Dinner's List]

(The list of cocktail party's attendees?)

I'll get back to work, then.

See you, Mr. Wei.

Xingxing,

do you have plans after work?

Ling Ting is picking me up for dinner later.

Xingxing, I'm here to pick you up from work.

(You're everywhere.)

(Why can't I be here?)

(Instead of following that perverted boss,)

(why are you always hanging around Xingxing?)

(I'll hang around with anyone I like.)

(Why do you care?)

What are you two doing?

Is there something wrong with your eyes?

-Nothing. -Nothing.

Let me make the introduction.

This is my co-worker, Sun Meixi.

We're the same age.

This is my neighbor, Ling Ting.

He's 20.

You should get to know each other.

Hello,

Madam Sun.

Why do you address her that way?

Address her by her name.

Hello,

Meixi.

Hello, kiddo.

Xingxing,

I'll be going home then.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Xingxing,

did that perverted boss give you trouble lately?

You must tell me if he did.

I'll help you find another job.

You'll surely find another job if I help you submit your resume.

Stop messing around.

It's hard to find such a high-salary job.

If you mess up my money-making plan,

I won't spare you.

By the way,

can you do me a favor?

Do you want me to beat up that boss?

Help me find

all the information about everyone here as detailed as possible on the Internet.

The more detailed the information, the better.

Xingxing,

is this a hit list?

You watched too many movies.

I need you to settle it by tonight.

Yes, madam.

(It's all done.)

(Give me a pat, Xingxing.)

(I'll buy you delicious food some other day)

[Genius kid!] (as a reward,)

(kid.)

[36th Pharmaceutical Development Exchange Forum Dinner's List]

Huang Xiuhua.

A pharmaceutical sales representative.

Huang Yihua.

A committee member of the pharmaceutical alliance.

These two names are confusing.

Did you put on makeup?

Why are you wearing lipstick?

This is what straight men like.

A straight man would never think it was because of lipstick.

If he noticed it,

he's either not straight

or he has feelings for you.

What are you thinking?

You're being weird.

Huang Xiuhua.

Huang Yihua.

Huang Yi...

A pharmaceutical sales representative.

A committee member of the pharmaceutical alliance.

Xingxing,

have some mung bean soup.

Thanks, Dad.

Huang Yihua.

Huang Xiuhua.

What's wrong?

Did you lose your mind?

Come on, Dad.

I'm having a hard time memorizing this information.

If it's hard, you need to put in more effort.

One acquires their skills from training.

As soldiers, we fear no blood

and exhaustion.

Is memorizing harder than going to the battlefield?

You

should cherish this job

and gain a foothold soon.

Dad,

that's what I think too.

Good.

Do your best to memorize this.

I'll get back to my work.

Dad,

did Mr. Lei contact you to get you to join the dance team lately?

He did.

I

have firmly rejected him.

Dad,

why do I feel you hate Mr. Lei so much?

We

have different opinions and interests.

We can't agree to anything.

Dad,

Mr. Lei is a good person.

He travels

and makes many friends.

He's also passionate about life.

You should try and make friends with him.

You know what,

I hate it when he leads a group of people

dancing the cha-cha-cha.

It's indecent for a man to put his hand around a woman's waist

like that.

Dad,

don't be so conservative.

Putting the hands around the waist

is a dance move.

You can do it too if you want to.

No way!

Who would want a prosthetic hand

around their waists?

I'll get back to work first.

(I must buy a good prosthetic for my dad soon.)

(Hong Xingxing,)

(you can do it.)

Huang Xiuhua.

Huang Yida.

[Application Letter: Hello, dear employees! I'm glad you took the time to read my application.]

[I sincerely hope I can be part of the company.]

I can do my internship anywhere.

Since Runshi is not safe,

I'll protect Xingxing from near.

Those with malicious intentions,

they'll be facing me.

A genius.

[Ling Ting] He's also an expert in data analysis.

Isn't it a bit of a waste for him

to be an intern for me?

If he's an undercover hacker

[Ling Ting] who tries to join Runshi to hack into Project QW1,

won't that mean I'm inviting trouble?

He's almost as good-looking as me.

[Ling Ting]

How did it go with the list?

Have you listed out the suspects yet?

I've listed about five.

What?

I want

to hire an intern.

Go ahead.

Why are you asking me?

Can I hire someone more good-looking than you?

Sure.

But I'm sure he's not as good-looking as me

because people like that don't exist.

How about we go for a drink tonight?

I'm busy.

Ms. Hong is joining too.

I will have a strawberry tart.

Okay.

Excuse me.

Wait!

I want all of the strawberry tarts

you have.

Pack them for me.

Okay.

(The payment of 108 yuan has been received.)

I'll be honest with you.

I bought them all,

so you can't eat them.

You didn't have to buy this many

because

I'm only here

to buy some sliced bread.

Miss, your six strawberry tarts are ready.

Look at this.

This is the latest style.

You're right.

I bought dessert for you guys.

Everyone has one.

Are they the strawberry tarts from downstairs?

What's the happy occasion

that you bought dessert for us?

Instead of a happy occasion,

many things are bothering me,

and I even ran into someone hateful.

Xingxing,

help me pass them around.

What's the matter?

Did you stay up all night?

I had to memorize some information.

It's no big deal.

I'll help you with this.

Hey, guys.

I'm showing the new kid around the company.

This is Ling Ting,

an intern I just hired.

He's a top student at UCLA.

For the next two months, he'll be working under me.

He'll

be our co-worker now.

Let's welcome him!

Hello, everyone.

You can have this strawberry tart.

Thanks.

Mr. Ling,

you don't like dessert, right?

I do enjoy dessert.

Take a seat if you like it.

Sit down and eat.

Eat up.

He said he likes it.

Thanks.

It's empty.

Xingxing,

I'm here to pick you up.

Okay.

Let's go.

Mr. Zhou?

Hello, Ms. Hong.

Are you free tonight?

How about we have dinner together?

Mr. Wei asked me to call you.

The three of us will go together.

You're free?

It's settled, then.

We'll see you tonight.

Bye-bye.

Works like a charm.

Ling Ting,

my boss invited me for dinner.

Why don't you

head back yourself tonight?

Where are you guys going for dinner?

I haven't had my dinner too.

Why don't I join you guys?

I'll sit next to you guys.

Mr. Wei.

It's you.

Hello, Mr. Wei.

My name is Ling Ting.

The new intern the company hired.

I've seen you

from the company's surveillance footage.

You're her neighbor.

Why did you tell him that?

Quiet.

Ms. Hong,

let's go.

Well...

I'll get going then.

Go home by yourself, okay?

(Perverted boss.)

(Just you wait.)

One serving of beef steak,

one grilled salted mackerel,

and one serving of foie gras sushi.

All right.

Can we have another...

Mr. Zhou,

there are only the three of us.

Don't you think you're ordering too much?

Well,

I didn't bring enough money.

Mr. Wei,

your personal assistant is pretty interesting.

She's worried about money.

I thought we were splitting the bills.

When you have a meal with Mr. Wei,

Mr. Wei will be the one paying.

So don't worry.

Mr. Wei,

we don't get to do this all the time.

Do you want some drinks?

I don't drink on working days.

Just order anything you want to eat.

I wouldn't want you to complain

I mistreat my employees.

You can treat today's dinner

as an employee's benefit.

Are you serious?

Has she been starving for weeks?

Did you abuse her?

Me? Abuse her?

I'd thank heaven if she didn't abuse me.

Why are you staring at me?

Eat up.

Sure.

Ms. Hong,

what do you think

about the food in this restaurant?

It's pretty good.

Pretty good?

Listen.

Wei Lan and I are regulars here.

You could say it's our base.

The food is pretty good here.

It's just the portion is a little small.

There are only two shrimp balls on this huge plate.

It's called exquisite plating.

You can't expect the restaurant

to serve food in a huge bowl.

Why not?

That's what we used in the army.

And you must eat fast.

The food will be all gone if you're a little slower.

Excuse me.

Give me another serving...

I mean three servings of beef.

Sure!

Well,

Ms. Hong.

Don't just eat.

Let me pour you some drinks.

No, thank you.

Drinking causes mistakes easily.

Having been in the army for so many years,

you should be able to hold your liquor.

Some day.

We'll drink to our heart's content some other day.

All right.

Let's get down to business.

The news of new medicine developed

by our company has been leaked.

I'm sure our competitors,

especially Kangle Pharmaceutical,

must be well prepared.

I have two plans.

The first plan

is to use the conventional way.

We try to brush it off, so they let it go.

But I don't think it'll work.

The second plan

is to make the first strike.

We hold a press conference

to tell the world

that the anti-cancer Project QW1

belongs to our company.

At the same time,

we'll call for a tender to accept a bid from a pharmaceutical company

to develop it together.

I totally agree with your plan.

But it was Mr. Wei who brought in the QW1 project.

Don't we need

to discuss this with him first?

No need.

He doesn't need to know about this.

Why are you looking at me?

As soldiers, it's our duty to keep classified information a secret.

We pretend not to hear anything we shouldn't hear.

I trust Hong Xingxing is one of us.

All right.

It's rare for us to be having this gathering.

Let's not talk about work.

Mr. Zhou,

I heard you and Mr. Wei studied at the same university.

How did you become best friends?

Wei Lan

was my idol at university.

I remember a professor was giving me a hard time

during my thesis defense.

He said he suspected my capstone project of plagiarism.

Wei Lan was not happy about it at the time.

So he stood up and accused the professor

of his groundless accusation.

Also, he cited the data and reference materials

on the spot accurately.

That's how he got me out of trouble.

It looks like Mr. Wei is pretty righteous.

What did you expect?

He also...

Enough talking.

Just eat your meat skewers.

There are many things you don't know about me.

I feel warm after eating.

Mr. Wei,

are you feeling warm too?

It's pretty warm.

Me too.

The breeze made me feel cool again.

I'll give you a ride home.

It's okay.

My house is not far from here.

I'll walk home to help with my digestion.

Then, I...

It's cold at night.

So it's better to wear more layers.

♪The beauty I met♪

♪It feels sweet whenever I think of her♪

♪That beautiful and sweet person♪

♪Is you♪

♪I know it's a hard journey ahead♪

It's okay.

I have my own clothes.

Hello, Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Wei.

Xingxing, I'm here to pick you up.

Mr. Wei,

I'll get going, then.

See you, Mr. Zhou.

Xingxing,

your face looks red.

Did you drink just now?

No, I didn't.

Let's go.

How sad.

You must feel bad

to see another man sending

the woman you love home.

Young Master Wei,

don't you think

you care too much about Ms. Hong?

I was being a gentleman.

I do this to all women.

I've never seen you treat another woman like this.

Just admit it if you like her.

There's nothing to be ashamed of.

Are you drunk?

Why don't you drink for change?

I don't like drinking.

I think you just can't hold your liquor...

Shut up.

We've been friends for so many years.

Do you think I don't know you?

You always said you couldn't drink during our schoolmate gatherings.

But the truth

is you dare not drink, right?

The thing is,

you can figure out

what you can't understand

after a drink.

Actually, Hong Xingxing

is pretty decent.

She may be a little mannish.

But as your partner, I think she's...

Since Hong Xingxing didn't let you send her home,

I can let you send me home.

Wei Lan!

(The thing is,)

(you can figure out)

(what you can't understand)

(after a drink.)

I still can't figure it out.

I'm still clueless.

I get drunk and dizzy

when I drink.

How can I figure it out?

Hello?

Hello?

Mr. Wei?

Yeah.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

I'm just...

I'm bored.

Hello?

Mr. Wei,

can you hear me?

Hong Xingxing,

I admit

you're

an outstanding,

honest,

and smart employee.

Thank you for your acknowledgment, Mr. Wei.

But

as a woman,

you're rough,

violent,

and not feminine.

You're different from other women.

What did he mean by that?

Did he call me just to criticize me?

Even if I'm not that feminine,

you don't have to call in the middle of the night

to remind me about it.

Whatever.

Mr. Wei.

If you think

I don't perform well

as your subordinate,

you can criticize me anytime.

But you can't criticize me

in other aspects.

Hong Xingxing,

I wasn't criticizing you.

It's because I find

that you're pretty adorable sometimes.

Mr. Wei,

did you

drink?

I just had a little.

Hong Xingxing.

Ms. Hong,

my stomach is aching.

I want some congee.

I order you

to deliver congee to me right now.

Mr. Wei!

Open the door!

Your congee is still warm.

Eat it while it's warm.

Hey, man!

What's up?

Good bro.

Bang!

Come on. Come in, brother.

Come in, brother. Come on.

Come here.

Mr. Wei!

I'm still outside!

Do you still want your congee?

Hello, good evening.

It's an honor to see you.

Hey, I...

What?

Can't you use your mother tongue?

Open the door!

"If life deceives you,

don't be sad, don't cry.

In the day of grief, be mild.

Merry days will come, believe.

Everything is temporary.

Everything shall pass.

The pass shall be nostalgic."

Hey, wait!

What's wrong with you?

Open the door!

Hello.

Did you deliver the congee?

Okay, what took you so long?

You're stupid. Stupid.

I can't believe this.

Open your mouth, Mr. Wei.

Have some congee.

Mr. Wei.
