[Episode 5]

Here, Mr. Wei.

Have some congee.

Mr. Wei?

Mr. Wei?

Hey, you,

weren't you quite ferocious?

You even scolded me today.

And now you asked me to bring you congee.

I should ask for more overtime pay

or I'll feel sorry for myself.

Let's drink.

I don't drink, Mr. Wei.

Why don't you drink?

I've always...

Do you know

that I'm very miserable?

All you see

is

my glamorous side.

But that's not the real me.

My dad is a rascal.

And I have no vacation.

I'm so miserable.

Let's drink.

To my miserable life.

I...

Cheers.

(No.)

(I can't come here for nothing.)

Mr. Wei,

you want me to drink with you, don't you?

Take me to the cocktail party.

Then I'll drink with you.

Why are you so stubborn?

Mr. Wei,

are you sober now?

You can't go.

Why not?

It's too dangerous.

You'll be in danger if I don't go, okay?

If you don't let me go,

I can't catch the suspect at the cocktail party.

Then I...

I won't be able to clear my name.

Let's drink.

If you don't agree,

don't even think about drinking.

Fine.

I promise you.

Really?

Yes.

There's no proof.

I'll record it as evidence.

Here.

Let's drink.

OK,

I'll drink it.

[New Recording 01]

My head hurts so bad.

Ms. Hong...

Why is she here?

What's going on?

Dad, what are you cooking? It smells so good.

Wait.

Mr. Wei?

Why are you at my house?

No.

Why am I at your house?

I should be the one asking you that.

That's what happened last night.

I got it.

Thank you.

I'll pay you for working overtime.

That's not necessary.

But you've got to listen to this.

(Hong Xingxing,)

(I promise)

(I'll take you to the cocktail party.)

(Here.)

(Let's drink.)

You...

You...

You took advantage of me.

You promised me that.

You've gone back on your words once.

If you do that every time,

that will be rather ungallant.

If you insist on not letting me go,

then there is nothing I can do about it.

It's just for your safety.

You can go.

Really?

But you can only stay outside,

do not go in there.

You're a new face of our company.

A new face is like an ace.

It's best not to expose yourself.

Okay.

I promise you.

I'll stay outside to protect you.

Later, I'll ask Ms. Sun

to send you a floor plan.

You can familiarize yourself with the surroundings.

No need, I've memorized it.

What?

Nothing.

Eat up.

It's getting cold.

(Why is this nuisance here?)

(No.)

(He'll make fun of me if he sees this.)

Ms. Sun,

shall we go together?

I'm sorry.

I only accept invitations from handsome guys.

Alright, then.

But

why are you standing here?

To enjoy the view?

That's right.

I like enjoying the view of the parking lot.

Can't I do that?

Sure, you can.

I didn't want

to ruin your mood for enjoying the view.

But I met Mr. Wei at the company.

He seemed to be looking for you.

He said it was urgent.

I...

I didn't receive any calls.

That's normal.

No signal here.

I was just messing with you.

How could you...

♪Every moment when I hug you♪

♪I'll protect your smile♪

♪My love for you♪

Done.

Don't hide it if there's anything.

It's not embarrassing to ask for my help.

♪All the troubles will be forgotten♪

♪The happiness in life♪

♪Is hidden at the next corner♪

[Hotel Venue]

Tomorrow morning, I'll ask Ms. Sun

to find you an appropriate outfit.

An outfit?

It's for the party.

I've got an outfit.

If you dress like this,

you can't even enter the lobby.

Oh.

(If she wears an evening dress,)

(what will she look like?)

We're finally done with the venue layout.

This is just the interior view of the main venue.

We have to check on the exterior part

to deal with all kinds of emergencies.

Where else should we check?

The next floor?

Each floor.

You can't get in there.

Is it necessary?

I don't think I'm going to stay out all the time.

[Runshi Pharmaceutical Lab Facility]

Mr. Zhou, are you busy?

Have a cup of coffee, Mr. Zhou.

Thank you.

Go on.

Mr. Zhou is indeed a young talent.

You look charming even when you're

working.

Thank you.

Carry on.

No, I mean,

do you need anything, Ms. Hong?

Just tell me about it.

Mr. Zhou,

don't be afraid.

Mr. Wei has put me in charge of the security outside the party venue.

It's just a routine check

for every guest.

Zhou Yilin, male, 28,

he's in Runshi Group's R&D Department...

That's not what I meant.

I'm wondering

if you'll attend the party.

I have no choice.

I must go.

Oh.

So you mean you don't feel like going there?

I really don't want to go there.

I have no choice.

Because the researchers

behind the scenes like us

don't like to join such a high profile activity.

And those guests

who attend the party

will always bring up something unscientific...

That means

you seldom join this kind of party.

Basically yes.

Because the researchers like us don't like

to make a public appearance.

Then it'll be a lot easier.

What?

Nothing.

Mr. Zhou, I'll leave you to it.

Okay.

I'm leaving if there's nothing else.

See you.

(The only useful clue we've got now)

(is this ear print.)

(It's indeed hard to find)

(the suspect with just this.)

(I must find him.)

(I can't implicate the people at Runshi again.)

Get down!

(Dad!)

Why didn't I hear Dad's snoring?

Dad.

Why are you sleeping here?

Let me get you to the bed.

Dad,

you've got a fever!

Let's go.

I'll take you to the hospital.

Easy.

Stomach heat accumulates due to indigestion.

Tell me.

How much did you eat while having hotpot?

Mr. Lei insisted

on having a meat-eating contest with me.

He said I'd have to join his dance team if I lost.

So I ate as much as I can.

I wanted him to give up.

So did you win?

When have I ever lost a contest?

Mr. Lei?

Xingxing.

Hong.

What a coincidence.

You managed to recognize me even when I was dressed like this.

[Hong Xingxing]

(Sorry, Mr. Wei.)

(I have a family matter.)

(I didn't get to inform you.)

(Can I take)

(a half-day off?)

(What happened?)

(When are you coming back?)

Hong,

someone seems to be making braised pork ribs.

The smell wafts over here.

I can smell it, too.

Here you go.

You've just recovered.

Don't ever think of having

a lavish meal.

Just finish this millet congee.

Also, you'll have this

as

your lunch and dinner.

[Mr. Wei] (Okay.)

Well,

Xingxing,

can I have some pickled vegetables?

Sure.

I'll go prepare it now.

I'll also make you a plate of my secret recipe,

cucumber salad.

Okay, thanks.

Hong,

has Xingxing been dating

lately?

What's wrong?

Didn't you see her big smile just now?

She either wins a lottery prize

or has a crush on somebody.

Nonsense.

Why can't I tell that?

Has she been seeing

any boys lately?

No.

There's only Ling Ting.

He used to be our neighbor.

Oh.

He's three years younger than her.

That's right.

It must be him.

It's a trend to date an younger man.

It's the in-thing to do now.

No way.

They're childhood friends.

Why didn't I notice it?

Maybe it's because they were still young back then.

Now that they've grown up.

They'll develop feelings for each other as time passes.

You know?

As the saying goes, marrying an older woman brings prosperity.

If it's true,

Ling Ting will be blessed with luck.

Xingxing,

are the pickled vegetables ready to serve?

Right away.

Ms. Sun.

Ah?

Mr. Wei.

Did Hong Xingxing take the day off?

Yes.

She said she had told you about it.

I know.

Do you know

what happened to her?

I guess it's a family stuff.

Does it matter?

What I mean is

the party is in two days.

When she comes to work,

remember to get her a dress.

Sure.

(What I mean is)

(the party is in two days.)

(When she comes to work,)

(remember to get her a dress.)

[Mr. Wei Senior] (Mr. Wei Senior,)

(you were right.)

(She's indeed Mr. Wei's ideal type.)

(Mr. Wei cares a lot about her.)

[Mr. Wei]

(Ms. Sun. Has Hong Xingxing picked her dress?)

(Mr. Wei,)

(she's working hard on it.)

This time,

the design theme of our product is summarised in one word,

[Ms. Sun] solemn.

Of course,

it looks solemn but a bit playful

to emphasize the idea of making our products approachable.

Go on.

As the users of this product...

[Hong Xingxing] (Mr. Wei,)

(sorry to bother you.)

(I'd like to confirm with you again.)

(Must I wear a dress?)

(Yes.)

Hip hop.

No.

It's too frivolous.

Considering that hip hop is

relatively a minority taste,

so we made an ad hoc decision

to add in

some historical elements

to emphasize the vicissitudes and massiness of our product.

But this is a substantial change.

(In a semi-formal party like this,)

(it's better for a woman to wear an above-the-knee dress.)

Why bother explaining it?

I'm her boss.

She's got to do what I say.

Sure.

I'll try to convince the designer.

(Yes.)

It's best to make it

look harsher.

If he doesn't change it,

I'll send him packing!

(Yes.)

Good.

You guys carry on.

This is the first time Mr. Wei leaves in the middle of a meeting.

It looks like he's unsatisfied with this proposal.

Is something wrong with Mr. Wei?

It's not obvious at ordinary times.

But she looks good

when she gets dolled up.

It's pretty.

Is it?

But I feel kind of strange.

Xingxing,

you've got a perfect body.

You're slim but fit.

The long dress fits you well.

It looks like Mr. Wei has great taste.

Mr. Wei?

Did Mr. Wei pick it?

Hmm.

It's inappropriate.

Look, Mr. Hong.

It's a revealing dress.

It's not decent at all.

Not decent.

See, I told you so.

It's not suitable for me.

Also,

it's inconvenient.

[Pharmaceutical Industry Development Prospect]

Ms. Sun,

let's split up when we go in there.

Pay attention to all the details I've briefed you

and keep an eye on everyone.

Noted.

But, Mr. Wei,

are you sure you want me to do it instead of Xingxing?

Don't ask something you shouldn't.

Oh.

Look.

Mr. Wei is here.

It really is Mr. Wei from Runshi.

It really is him.

Where did you come back from?

France.

Is that so?

I was there before New Year.

Look.

I bought this there.

It's quite nice.

It looks good on you.

Thank you.

You are...

You're Mr. Huang from Feng Pharmaceutical, aren't you?

Yes, I am.

Nice to meet you.

I'm the chairman of Runshi Group,

Wei Lan.

Mr. Wei,

pleasure to meet you.

I saw you on the news.

I didn't expect you to remember me.

It's my honor.

Mr. Huang,

I've got a question for you.

Sure.

About three weeks ago,

have you been

to the lab of Runshi Group?

Runshi's Lab?

Isn't it a Class A secure place?

How could I possibly access it?

Don't be eager to deny it.

Maybe I can give you some advice.

Someone has been eyeing on our research findings.

About three weeks ago, on Thursday night,

an explosion occurred at the lab

of Runshi Group.

Our lab conducted a brand new experiment

but it was a shame

that the experiment failed.

Our team has drawn lessons from it

and achieved a major breakthrough

on the drug reaction time.

You are...

I'm Zhou Yilin, the project manager of Runshi Group.

Pleasure to meet you.

The pleasure is mine.

I was in charged of the experiment that day.

We invited the personnel from several companies over to watch it.

Mr. Wei is busy as he's the owner

of the company.

I guess he must've forgotten about your schedule.

I hope you won't feel offended.

Is that so,

Mr. Wei?

That's right.

Miss...

Ms. Zhou is right.

It was remiss of me.

I'm sorry.

I've heard that Ms. Zhou from Runshi is

a young talent.

I didn't expect you

to be so young

and pretty.

Yes.

Indeed.

A young and pretty

talent.

Ms. Zhou,

about our new product,

there's something I need to talk to you about.

Let's go somewhere.

Why are you here?

You should be glad that I'm here.

Or the news

about the explosion at the lab would spread.

How can you be sure

that Huang Donghai is clean?

I've observed his micro-expression.

It's true he hasn't been to the lab.

Where is Zhou Yilin?

He...

Well, he...

He doesn't like to make public appearances

so he asked me to come in his place.

Is that so?

Yes.

(I can't tell him that I got the invitation card from Zhou Yilin)

(by playing a cheap trick like rock-paper-scissors.)

(I'm such a genius.)

Whatever the reason is,

you must leave now.

Mr. Wei,

just accept the reality.

You can't catch the culprit without me.

I have my own plan.

Are you planning

to catch the suspect by watching the ear print?

Mr. Wei,

do you know

you were like a molester

when you looked at Huang Donghai?

It's a micro earphone.

Put it on.

I've been a scout in the military for three years.

You still think I'm lying?

Fine.

But you have to follow my lead.

If you want to succeed,

you must listen to my command.

(I've looked into it before I came.)

(There are three main suspects in total.)

(Huang Donghai from Feng Pharmaceutical)

(has been ruled out.)

The personnel from Jiale Pharmaceutical and Kaibeili Pharmaceutical have just arrived.

The person who matches the description has not yet been found.

Hong Xingxing,

you're well prepared.

Of course.

This is the basic quality of the head

of operations.

I'm the head of operations.

This is bureaucracy.

Good evening, Mr. Wei.

Good evening, Mr. Scott.

I've heard so much about you.

Nice to meet you.

You too.

Thank you, I'll like it.

(He basically meets the description.)

The first suspect is confirmed.

(His ear print is basically the same.)

It's Ma San, the executive assistant of Jiale Pharmaceutical.

Where is he?

He's at your one o'clock.

(Wearing a grey suit)

(and a black tie.)

Just wait and see...

Bye-bye.

Sorry

to interrupt you.

It's alright.

You must be

the assistant from Jiale Pharmaceutical,

Mr. Ma Sangang.

How did you know me, Mr. Wei?

I met you at the meeting before

and I heard your boss said

that you're a young and talented man.

I'm flattered.

Mr. Ma, you don't look very well.

I've worked late yesterday.

Maybe I didn't get enough rest.

You should have a good rest.

If not,

an accident might occur at work.

An explosion occurred at the lab

of Runshi Group a few days ago

because of the negligence

of Mr. Zhou

due to the stress at work.

I guess

you've heard about this, don't you?

Really?

I haven't heard of this before.

He avoids eye contact.

His fingers are trembling.

His pitch goes up.

He's definitely lying.

You must've been busy working in the past few days.

That you didn't have time to hear the gossip.

It's good to be busy, Mr. Ma.

You'll be entrusted with heavy tasks only if you're young and promising.

Don't you think so?

My colleague asks me to give him a call.

Excuse me.

I'm sure

that Jiale Pharmaceutical is the culprit.

Ms. Zhou,

what were you saying?

Nothing.

I'm just excited to see my peers.

What can I help you, Mr. Huang?

There were people around just now.

So I couldn't bring myself to say this.

Actually,

I've heard about you

long ago.

But at that time,

I just set foot in the pharmaceutical industry.

And I've read a lot of your research findings

and articles.

There are some questions

I'd like to ask for your advice.

I wonder

if you have time for this.

In year 2012,

you obtained the scholarship from the Association of American Universities.

During your master studies,

you've published 12 academic articles.

What's with most concern was

the article about the early targeted therapies

with the extracellular vesicles

that you published during your PhD studies.

Ms. Zhou?

During college, I've published

12 academic articles.

Among all of them, the one I'm most proud of is

the article about the early targeted therapies

with the extracellular vesicles.

In this article, the extracellular vesicles

is the main development direction.

It's oriented towards the early therapy

for the targeted cancer cells.

You're brilliant as expected, Ms. Zhou.

Impressive.

Amazing.

Mr. Wei,

what were you talking about?

Nothing.

My job has stressed me out.

So I like to talk to myself

about my own ideas and thoughts.

Where were we?

Sir.

Who are you?

I'm Zhou Yilin.

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

I don't know you.

How is that possible?

We've met before.

Did you forget?

Mr. Wei and I have always been together.

Right?

Sir,

please show me your invitation card.

I lost it.

How about this?

Mr. Wei.

Ask Wei Lan over.

Ask Wei Lan over to bring me in.

Just do that.

Someone is making a scene here.

Get some men over.

No.

It's me.

Zhou Yilin,

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

How dare you talk to me like this.

(I tell you what, brat.)

(It's dangerous to do this, you know?)

(Mate, you...)

(You don't know me?)

How could you not know me?

It's your fault

that you don't know my name.

Look at her.

She's got...

Okay, miss. This way please.

Please.

Sir,

please show me your invitation card.

Ms. Zhou,

actually,

I've written

an academic article lately.

Well,

I wonder if you have the time

to amend it for me.

I'm sorry, Mr. Huang.

I'll have to excuse myself.

Ms. Zhou, you usually focus on doing researches

that you seldom attend such an event.

I suggest you to stay here and don't wander around.

Thanks for your concern, Mr. Wei.

I saw a friend of mine just now.

I've got to go greet him.

Your friend must be someone special.

I'm coming with you.

Okay.

Mr. Wei,

I was looking for you.

I've talked

to Ms. Zhou just now.

Can we have a drink?

Here.

Wait.

There was a misunderstanding between us just now.

But I'd like to say

that as Mr. Wei has such a talent at this young age,

it's...

A glass of wine is worth a thousand words.

I'll drink it on Mr. Wei's behalf.

Let's go.

She's straightforward.

Boss,

about the explosion at the lab,

Mr. Wei Jr. seems to have found out something.

Obviously, he was coming for me.

Don't be afraid, the footage has been destroyed.

Besides, from what I know,

I'm not the only enemy this kid's got.

The traitor of his company is here as well.

Okay, got it.

Come, let's go out.

Are you insane?

They're all their men.

There's only two of us now.

[Medicine Refrigerator]

Let's go.

How can we hide in a cold storage?

We have no choice.

Who knew they'd talk at a place like this?

It's just for the time being.

We'll go out when they leave.

The door is locked.

[Medicine Refrigerator]

There's no reception either.

There's only one way left.

Reserve our energy

and wait for rescue.

I've seen this door before.

It can't be opened by any tools.

Besides, someone has tampered with it.

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

Maybe it's too cold in here.

How about you?

I'm fine.

It looks like

it'll take a while for us to get out of here.

Are you okay?

What's wrong?

I don't know.

I just suddenly feel weak.

A glass of wine is worth a thousand words.

I'll drink it on Mr. Wei's behalf.

Hey...

-The wine. -The wine.

Someone must've spiked the wine.

It won't do.

I have to get you out of here.

It's alright.

I guess it just makes me feel weak.

Shut up.

You've started to stutter.

The drug must have an anaesthetic effect.

Sit here and don't move.

Leave the rest to me.

How are you feeling?

Cold.

Here.

I've undergone cold-resistance training.

Enough.

Look, you're shivering.

The alarm has gone off.

Someone will come and save us soon.

You wear it.

Look how pale your face is.

Stop acting tough.

You're no better than me.

Okay?

But I'm slightly better than you.

I'm the boss.

Listen to me.

I'm the commander.

You

listen to me.

Yes.

Commander.

I'll listen to you.

I've done as you told.

I sit closer to you.

It's warmer.

I'm sorry that I didn't protect

you well.

I don't need your protection.

Hang in there.

Someone will come and save us soon.

Mr. Wei,

don't sleep.

Do not sleep.

Cut it off.

You can't sleep.

Mr. Wei,

let's chat.

Mr. Wei,

today,

I saw a handsome guy

on the street.

He's more handsome than you are.

How is that possible?

It's true.

He's very handsome.

Besides,

he's got eight-pack abs.

He can even move the abs.

So sexy.

You sound like you've touched them.

I didn't

but I saw them.

Anyway, he's way stronger

than you.

You're just

trying to provoke me.

I'm not.

Thank you.

For what?

You don't want me to fall asleep

so

you try to provoke me.

You're just like that person.

Who?

I don't know what her name is.

But,

you're a lot like her.
