[Episode 6]

You're just like that person.

Who?

I don't know her name.

However,

you're a lot like her.

I thought I was going to die.

She suddenly appeared

and saved me.

Since then, I've hired people to look for her.

But...

But...

there

wasn't

any

news.

Mr. Wei.

Wake up.

Wei Lan.

Wake up.

Mr. Wei.

Mr. Wei.

Thank goodness.

You're finally awake.

What happened?

We were locked

in a cold room.

Do you remember?

You passed out.

The doctor said that it was because you had low levels of oxygen.

Hence, you had a mild shock.

If you're still unconscious

after the glucose drip treatment is completed,

they'd need to take another approach.

Didn't you finish the tonic wine?

Are you alright now?

I'm fine.

The drug's effect wore off.

Fortunately, Ms. Sun and Mr. Zhou

asked someone to open the cold room.

Hence, we were saved.

I see.

Mr. Wei.

I was the one who volunteered,

yet I failed to protect you.

I am sorry.

I checked the surveillance footage earlier.

The surveillance cameras in the basement have malfunctioned.

Someone must have sabotaged it.

Two people are involved in the secret conversation in the room.

One of them is Ma San.

The other person is unknown.

I think they are the ones

who locked us in the cold room.

But

I haven't found out the person's identity.

If we don't have enough evidence,

we can't do anything to Ma San.

But it's not a bad thing.

As long as we keep an eye on Ma San,

we can find out

what Jiale is up to.

I was reckless this time.

It's okay if you want to punish me

or deduct my salary.

Enough with your apologies.

If people saw this,

they'd think that I'm a horrible boss.

Your blood is flowing backwards.

Stay still.

♪The night might be long♪

♪But I'll wait for the dawn with you♪

Mr. Wei.

Please hold on a little longer.

I understand

that you dislike physical contact.

However, I can't let go of your hand now.

Dad.

Is the soup ready?

Yes.

Look.

Come on.

Dad.

Don't just get the soup,

include the meat as well.

Is this not enough?

Xingxing.

I think that you care about your boss

too much.

I don't, Dad.

I'm just treating him as my boss, that's it.

Besides, that day when we were locked in the cold room,

he protected me.

Remember to get more meat, Dad.

I...

I'll get changed.

Zhou.

Why isn't Ms. Hong here yet?

Be patient.

Ms. Sun has gone down to get her.

Do you still suspect that Ms. Hong

is a spy sent by your dad?

She's basically clean, right?

Ms. Hong and you

have been through ups and downs.

Well, is there any chance

that you have

developed romantic feelings for Ms. Hong?

No.

Are you sure?

I'm certain.

Ms. Hong is here.

Why are you so agitated?

Mr. Wei, Mr. Zhou.

You're here.

Mr. Wei.

Look what I've brought for you.

Softshell turtle soup.

It's good for your health.

Ms. Hong.

Although

you beat me at rock-paper-scissors previously

and laughed at me disrespectfully,

for the sake

of you being responsible

for the company,

I'll let it slide this time.

The softshell turtle soup would serve as my compensation.

Sure.

In your dreams.

Leave my room and get back to work.

[Amendments for the open bid of QW1, Wei Lan] Do not enter without my permission.

(Open bid for Project QW1?)

What an ungrateful rascal.

Mr. Wei.

I shall get back to work too.

Okay.

Mr. Wei.

My dad made this.

Hurry up and try it.

It must be delicious.

Let me help you.

Wei Lan and Ms. Hong were locked in the cold room.

That wasn't an accident.

Someone was trying to harm them.

Ms. Hong checked

the surveillance footage

and found the power supply in the basement was all cut off.

You must remind Hong Xingxing

to be more protective of Wei Lan.

Ms. Hong made soup for Mr. Wei.

Looks like they've grown closer.

Good.

Very well.

Update me if there's anything.

By the way, Mr. Wei Senior.

I need to tell you something.

Mr. Wei decided to organize

an open bid for Project QW1 to collaborate with other companies.

Does this have something to do

with him being attacked?

What?

Why didn't you

inform me about this earlier?

I...

Ms. Sun.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to make a call.

I'll check on Mr. Wei now.

Listen, Mr. Wei...

We are both humans.

Why is Wei Lan getting all the attention,

while I'm left all alone?

[Mr. Wei]

Mr. Wei?

Are you saying that the old man is going to call a board meeting

to discuss further actions for QW1?

Mr. Wei learned

that we're planning to organize

an open bid for QW1.

He's really furious.

We managed to keep this from him.

Who leaked this information?

I have no idea.

Tell Hong Xingxing to come and see me now.

What can I help you with, Mr. Wei?

What's with that stare?

You sure are good at acting.

I almost believed you.

What?

Hong Xingxing.

I kept breaking my principles for you.

I never blame you.

I'm tolerant of you.

Moreover,

I care for you.

But what did you do to me?

What...

What did I do?

I'll give you one last chance

to come clean about it.

Did Wei Baofeng

send you to spy on me?

Didn't we clear up this misunderstanding?

Why are you suspecting me again?

I only told you and Zhou Yilin

about the open bid for Project QW1.

I'm fully in charge of the proposal.

But my dad found out about it.

He's going to call a board meeting

to go against my decision.

So

who sold me out?

So,

are you thinking that it's me?

Who else then?

I don't know!

It's not me!

You always said the same thing.

And I always try to find an excuse

to persuade myself to believe in you.

But this time,

the evidence is pointing to you.

There's no other possibility.

I don't wish to see you again.

Ms. Sun.

Pass this document to Zhou Yilin.

Okay.

Mr. Wei.

Didn't I say that I don't want to see you again?

I don't want to see you either.

But it's my job

to get to the bottom of the truth.

This is my analysis

regarding the incidents in Runshi Group

ever since I started working here.

Based on my experience,

these are not done by the same group of people.

So, you can't blame everything

on Mr. Wei Senior.

Why can't I?

Do you know Wei Baofeng well?

Do you know me?

Do you know how Project QW1 came to Runshi Group

and why I returned to the country?

I didn't want to return to the country.

So he bought my experimental results

and claimed my laboratory under Runshi Group

to make me come back.

Well.

Then, he planned a few incidents

so that you could earn my trust

and get closer to me.

How much did he pay you?

I'll double that.

Didn't you approach me for money?

If that's not enough, I can give you more money.

Let's see how much

your loyalty is worth.

Name a price.

I'll find out the truth for you.

Hong Xingxing.

Are you that free?

Caicai.

Ms. Hong is too free.

Arrange some tasks

for her.

So, she won't have time to bother me.

Noted, Mr. Wei.

What...

What happened?

I heard that Mr. Wei is upset about Ms. Hong.

Mr. Wei asked her

to move these boxes out

without using the elevator.

It's a physical punishment.

How cold-blooded of him.

What?

Caicai

was the one who gave the order.

But...

Mr. Wei got her to do that.

Did Mr. Wei say so?

You didn't see it.

Mr. Wei was really furious with Hong Xingxing.

He was extremely upset.

A little physical punishment is understandable.

Xingxing.

Let me help you.

It's okay.

These things

are nothing to me.

But it's tough for you to move all these alone.

I'll help you.

This is too heavy.

You won't be able to move it.

Aren't we friends?

Friends support each other through thick and thin.

See?

I told you so.

You can't move it.

I can do it alone.

Don't worry.

Why are you punishing Xingxing?

Ms. Sun.

Mind your attitude.

What did she do wrong

that you're punishing her so severely?

She is paid by the former chairman

to keep watch on me.

I told her about the company's confidential information

and she told on me immediately.

So did she do wrong?

(That's why he punished her.)

(No.)

(I can't let Xingxing take the blame for me.)

(I shall just admit it.)

-Actually... -What is she doing?

Didn't you order her

to move the boxes in the storeroom

to the laboratory

without using the elevator?

I didn't say that.

Caicai said that you said so.

Nonsense.

[Runshi Pharmaceutical Lab Facility]

Xingxing.

You can stop and get back to work now.

Have you figured out the truth?

Telling you to go back to work doesn't mean I trust you.

Hong Xingxing.

Are you ignoring my order?

Xingxing.

Just let her do it.

She can do this

as long as she wants to.

Let's go, Ms. Sun.

Get two security guards to move these with her.

Remember,

this is your order.

Good job.

Ms. Hong is disappointed in him now.

His minions in the Chairman's Office

are surely displeased with him.

Well...

We managed to oust the eunuch buddy.

It will be even better

if it's raining.

In this case, her loyalty towards Mr. Wei

will be gone for good.

I want him to be a titular chairman

with no men to use.

You're really prudent.

QW1 is a new anticancer drug.

It is yet to go through clinical trials.

If we launch this now,

it will attract unnecessary

doubts and pressure to the project.

I suggest

that we cancel the open bid

and resume the development in secrecy.

I disagree.

Based on our development progress,

it'd be only a matter of time before it went through clinical trials.

Collaborating with an equally capable pharmaceutical company

will be complementary.

It will accelerate the clinical trials too.

Time is gold.

Why can't we develop publicly?

Why should we develop slowly in secrecy?

♪Looking at your goofy smile♪

♪I didn't expect you to act tough like this♪

Mr. Wei.

We have invested a big amount of money

in Project QW1.

If we collaborate with another company at this stage,

we're letting others share our hard-earned benefits.

Mr. Wei.

Why can't we

keep all the benefits to ourselves?

He's the former chairman.

I'm the current chairman.

Project QW1

is in my charge.

I have the say

in its development path.

Let me help you, Xingxing.

Never mind. I can do this alone.

How can you be moving these all alone?

I can do it.

Xingxing.

If the worst comes to the worst, we can quit.

Why should you endure this?

Xingxing.

Come on and take shelter from the rain.

Go away.

It's working hours now.

Get back to your work.

If you don't leave,

you will no longer be my friends.

Xingxing.

Xingxing.

Leave!

Kang.

Talk to Wei Lan.

I'm worried about him.

Mr. Wei.

Since he has decided to do so,

I think

it's impossible to stop

the open bid for Project QW1.

Since it has come to this,

you should focus on your recuperation.

We can play it by ear.

Can't you try to talk to him again?

Since you have let Wei Lan take over Runshi Group,

you should believe in him.

Young people have their way of doing things.

Although the open bid for Project QW1 is a risky move,

it might be rewarding.

It's actually a good idea.

Well...

I'm really anxious.

I'm worried that something horrible might happen again.

Something horrible is happening now.

Wei Lan thinks that Ms. Hong

is a spy sent by you.

Just now,

she was ordered to move boxes in the rain.

Didn't you ask Ms. Sun

to bug his office?

You should listen to what Wei Lan told me.

He's

really upset.

Hong Xingxing.

You're having a fever.

I'll bring you to the hospital.

I don't want to go to the hospital.

Where do you want to go then?

No.

I want to go home.

But

my dad is home.

I can't go home.

He'll be worried.

Sit tight.

I'll bring you back to my home.

(He's a good entrepreneur.)

(But he's not a good father.)

(When I was little,)

(he always ordered me to do)

(the things that he thought were good for me,)

(but I wasn't willing to do.)

(He was strict with me.)

(It's good to keep a distance.)

(I don't want to get closer to him at all.)

Hello?

Zhou Yilin.

Get a doctor to come to my place

within half an hour.

What's wrong?

Are you sick?

No.

It's Xingxing.

Alright.

Got it. I'll get it done as soon as possible.

♪Looking at your silhouette♪

♪That makes my imagination run wild♪

♪Looking at your goofy smile♪

I asked the madam next door to change your clothes.

Have a good rest.

Don't go.

You're lying to me.

You just want to drive me away.

Hong lied to me too.

He said he would be fine,

but he lost his hand.

You're all liars.

Mr. Wei.

I'm here to see you again.

No.

It isn't me this time.

Finally, it isn't you.

This way.

Alright.

The doctor is here.

Why are you still upset?

It's my fault.

Why are you blaming yourself?

Didn't

Caicai give a false order in your name?

What does that have to do with you?

I could have stopped him.

It's no use crying over spilt milk.

I didn't expect her to be this stubborn.

Hong Xingxing,

who once served in the army.

A soldier is supposed to be persistent,

courageous,

and strong-willed.

You might as well kill her than expect her to cave in.

However,

do remember this.

If Hong Xingxing

protects her boss wholeheartedly,

however, her boss

not only suspects her

but also treats her poorly.

And he

punished her physically.

And she's Hong Xingxing.

Well,

what's the first thing she would do

as soon as she regains consciousness?

Is she going to quit the job?

I'm so tired.

I can't do this anymore.

Please let me go.

Hurry up.

If you don't finish it, how can I go home?

Fine.

Hong Xingxing.

I prohibit you from quitting the job.

I'll grant you two days of leave.

You can resume work next week.

I promise that I won't deduct your salary either.

Who is Hong Xingxing?

My assistant, Hong Xingxing.

I'm sorry, Mr. Wei.

There's no such person in the company.

[Chairman, Wei Lan]

Did Hong Xingxing quit?

Hong Xingxing

is gone.

Xingxing.

Where's Hong Xingxing?

Good morning.

You're still here.

I woke up

and went back home to get something.

Are you

going to stay?

Mr. Wei.

Can you please let me in?

What is this?

What are you doing?

Stay still.

Are you getting your revenge?

Hey.

Don't you touch me.

I know that you despise me.

But you're a girl.

You must...

You must

love yourself.

I warn you, Hong Xingxing.

Stop touching me.

This is my last warning.

Stop touching me.

What are you trying to do?

Can you just say something?

Please show me some respect.

Thank goodness

that you're not bugged.

What?

You have a traitor.

Although that person is from your father

and won't cause any harm,

as your assistant,

it's my duty to examine

any dubious factors.

I'll help

to examine your house now.

You're not angry at me now, are you?

Didn't you apologize?

Why would I be angry?

You know that I apologized?

By the way,

about your father's spy,

I have a suspect.

Who?

I can't be certain yet.

But basically...

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

I've just recovered.

And I ate something oily in the morning.

I...

Do you want to puke there?

I swallowed it.

[Time Bomb] [Swipe to answer]

Hello?

The connection to the tapping device

in Wei Lan's office is cut off.

Is it out-of-battery?

Hurry and change the batteries now.

This is a critical moment for the company.

I can't allow Wei Lan to act recklessly.

Okay.

Noted, Mr. Wei Senior.

I'll change the batteries now.

(Good grief.)

(I don't want to work for Mr. Wei Senior anymore.)

(Why did I even agree)

(to work for him?)

Hello?

Have you changed the batteries?

I'm waiting to hear them!

I'm doing it now.

Please relax.

Good morning, Mr. Wei.

Morning.

Mr. Wei is here.

Among the few staff in the Chairman's Office,

who do you think is most likely the spy sent by my old man?

Actually, I've been suspicious of someone.

The person is...

Are you alright?

Still feeling nauseous?

I really feel like vomiting this time.

Do it here then.
