[Episode 7]

Hello?

Have you changed the batteries?

I'm waiting to hear what they're going to do!

I'm doing it.

Don't worry.

(Good morning, Mr. Wei.)

(Morning.)

Mr. Wei is here.

Among the 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.

(Nauseous?)

Mr. Wei.

I'm not able to throw up.

I'm feeling terrible.

Speaking of which, it was my fault.

It's okay.

You wouldn't be in this state

if it weren't for me.

Am I going to have a grandson soon?

I don't blame you.

I said it was fine.

I'd better take you to the hospital.

No need.

Come on,

let's go.

Mr. Wei,

don't be so nervous.

There's really no need for that.

Since it's related to me,

I have to take responsibility for it.

After all, you're my...

After all, you're my special assistant.

Who else should I look after, if not you?

Foolish boy!

It's not a big deal.

I really don't need to be looked after.

How is that not a big deal?

If you're pregnant

with my grandchild,

I, Wei Baofeng, shall put you on a pedestal!

You're still saying that you're fine after you've vomited like that.

You must've thrown up all the food you ate, right?

By the way,

you like spicy food, right?

I'll buy you some

for lunch later.

There's no need to do that.

Do you have any common sense?

Why are you getting spicy food for a pregnant woman?

You should get her something sour.

Hello?

Okay,

I'll be right there.

The finance director wants to see me.

You should get moving then.

I'm fine on my own.

I'm off to my meeting then.

Let's talk about it when we get back.

Wei Lan!

Why are you having a meeting at this time?

Come back!

A man should take on his own responsibilities.

Take her to the hospital!

Hurry up!

Do you have anything to say?

Wei Lan,

I did ask Sun to make some inquiries for me,

but I was just concerned about your safety

and your well-being.

As your father,

I didn't overdo it, did I?

No, you didn't.

But it was you guys

who made such a major blunder,

and left me

feeling happy for nothing.

You may leave.

This matter ends here.

What are your plans after you quit this job?

I guess I'll look for another job.

I'm such a disappointment

to be dismissed just like that.

My younger brother will definitely laugh at me

if he hears about that.

Do you have a younger brother?

I have two.

They're both still in school.

(The two younger brothers are still in school,)

(while their elder sister is unemployed now.)

(What a tragedy.)

Meixi,

if there's any help that you need,

just let me know.

Aren't you angry

that I've lied to you so much?

Didn't you say that we were good friends?

So why would I be angry with you?

Xingxing,

I'm sorry.

You don't have to apologize to me.

I'll help you pack your things later

and ask Ling Ting to drop you home.

Get on.

What's wrong?

Ling Ting,

let me ask you something.

Do you

particularly hate me?

I've never hated you.

You were Wei Lan's secretary before so I didn't treat you very well.

Now that you've lost your job,

I'll only feel sorry for you.

Just get on the motorbike, Miss Sun.

Hold on to me.

Hold on to me.

Do you know the way?

Of course!

Follow my lead.

Go straight and turn right.

Yes, madam!

You've been spacing out since Ms. Sun left.

What's on your mind?

I'm worried that she'll have a hard time after losing her job.

She should have known this day would come

when she decided to be my old man's snitch.

Mr. Wei,

I know you draw a clear line between work and private matters,

but she...

I can't be lenient regarding this case.

Hong Xingxing,

in the future, I'll trust you

and treat you well.

However, I have one little request.

Please stand by my side only.

Zhao,

please reserve Conference Room 1 for me.

Got it, Mr. Wei.

Xingxing,

have you finished the statement

for tomorrow's meeting?

Yes,

but I haven't added these up.

I'm going to do it now.

Why is Xingxing handling it?

Xingxing,

have you emailed me

the contact information

for the salespeople in Southeast Asia?

Sorry,

I forgot about that.

I'll send it now.

Why is it still Xingxing?

Xingxing,

have you made a copy of the conference call?

I'm waiting to prepare the report on my end.

Zhao,

ask Fang and Jiang to wait for me at the lounge.

Alright, Mr. Wei.

Speak.

What's going on?

It was Xingxing

who insisted that she was familiar with Ms. Sun's work

and took over everything.

We actually wanted to share the load with her,

but she said that we were also pretty tired,

and wouldn't let us do it.

She asked for it herself?

Zhao,

you should total the data files instead.

Jiang,

you'll still need to copy

the branch office's conference call content.

And then, Fang...

No, Mr. Wei!

The workload for cross-checking engineering data

is really too heavy.

I'm short of time as well,

so I'm really not up to the task.

It's alright,

I have a solution.

-What's going on? -What happened?

Doing three people's work alone

is what you meant by "solution"?

Stop talking nonsense.

Hurry up and help out.

If God had emotions, he would be touched by you.

The way you quietly do things for others

behind their backs

without asking for anything in return,

while not letting them know,

I admire you for that.

If you say one more word of nonsense,

I'll reduce your year-end bonus by half.

-Happy birthday to you. -Happy birthday to you.

-Happy birthday to you. -Happy birthday to you.

-Happy birthday to you. -Happy birthday to you.

-Happy birthday to you. -Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday, Dad!

-Happy birthday, Mr. Hong! -Thanks!

Happy birthday, Hong!

Thank you!

Dad, quick! Make a wish

and then blow out the candles.

That's right.

Okay!

Hurry up!

I have to make a wish.

I wish

my daughter

a good boyfriend

who's true to her very soon.

I'll rest assured

if she gets married sooner.

Dad, what are you saying?

That's my wish.

Just this wish.

-Awesome! -Nice!

Mr. Hong,

I've prepared a birthday gift for you.

It's a pair of Bluetooth earphones.

They're perfect for you during your morning exercises.

You brat,

this is amazing.

It's not in vain that I've been nice to you.

I like it.

Nice!

Do you know how to use it?

Here,

let me teach you.

Come on.

Please slow down.

You're out of date. Look.

-Slow down. -Don't touch it!

Don't be arrogant when you don't know how to use it.

Look, Xingxing.

Please educate your father well.

Gosh!

Xingxing.

It's for me?

Yes.

Since I bought Mr. Hong a birthday gift,

of course, I need to bring you something too,

or else you'll be jealous.

I'm not a kid.

What is this?

A lucky bracelet.

You said you had a hard time at work

some time ago, right?

Wear this, and everything will go well.

Not bad,

you've grown up!

It was a free gift.

This color doesn't suit me.

It's yours now.

I think this pink is for girls.

Xingxing,

you're a girl.

(Hello,)

(the couple bracelets were enchanted by the full moon.)

(The moon's power can bring two people together.)

(This pink one in particular)

(will bless the wearer with good fortune,)

(love, and happiness.)

Wear this bracelet,

and we will be a couple.

What are you talking about?

You brat.

I said the bracelets are a pair.

What did you do?

You didn't give me the blue one.

I like blue.

Me too!

Give me the blue one!

Don't hit me!

You gave me what you didn't want!

You rascal!

-Give it to me! -It's mine!

Mine!

-It's mine! -Give me!

Take it off!

I don't want pink, I want blue!

I want the blue one!

-Don't steal it! -It's mine!

Meixi.

It's not a big deal to lose your job.

Don't be sad.

I'm not sad.

Go to bed early,

and accompany your mom to shop for bags tomorrow.

Just use my bank card.

I don't have to go to work

or be a snitch anymore.

I can just be pretty and do nothing at home.

That's not bad.

Come on.

Me?

OK.

Let me ask you guys something.

I have a friend who has just lost her job,

and she has two younger brothers at home.

It's quite a struggle for her.

I'm pretty worried about her.

Do you think I should help her out

a little financially?

If Ms. Sun wants to find a job,

I can help to create software

for her to sift through the options.

Straight!

Good idea,

but that'll be a long and slow process.

If she doesn't ask you to lend her money,

don't ever offer to give it.

It's hurtful.

My card's higher.

I can't believe the careless Hong is quite sharp at times.

Pass.

What should I do then?

Treat her to a meal,

and improve her lifestyle.

Full House!

That's all?

Buy two shopping cards from the supermarket.

Tell her it's a gift from the company but you're not able to use them up.

Then give them to her.

That's a good idea.

You may go first if you can.

Look at these cards of mine.

Chow Yunfat (*the lead actor of the film God of Gamblers)

can't save me even if he's here.

I'll go first then.

Higher cards!

I have one card left.

Birthday boy?

Jokers Bomb!

Pass.

Okay,

I'll go to bed now.

Don't play until too late, guys.

Keep it down.

Sure.

Alright.

How's that?

Just show me your cards.

Who cares about your Jokers Bomb?

I have no cards left!

Here.

Again!

Come on, again!

[Message from Hong Xingxing]

[Hong Xingxing] (Meixi,)

(are you free tomorrow at noon?)

(Let's have lunch together!)

[Sun Meixi] (Okay!)

[Hong Xingxing] (Goodnight.)

Goodnight!

I'm going to bed.

(Goodnight.)

(Goodnight.)

(Look at this.)

(What's this?)

Please turn to page 36 for me.

Correct.

Thanks for your hard work!

I'm treating you guys to some milk tea.

Xingxing.

Why isn't there one for Mr. Wei?

Why should I buy one for him?

Yesterday, Mr. Wei did...

You're awake?

I knew it.

What?

Fang told me everything.

Last night, it was you who stayed up all night

to cross-check these inventories for me,

right?

What are you talking about?

For this kind of low-level work,

even Zhou Yilin could design some software

to sum everything up.

Tell me,

what do you want to eat?

I'll buy you a meal.

You've helped me so much.

Don't get me wrong.

Cross-checking the inventories is a huge deal.

It's just that I don't trust your abilities.

How about going to the bun shop?

If you don't like it,

then,

how about that Braised Restaurant in North Street Alley

Please don't.

You dislike them?

No,

it's just that...

I just think

that I should find a more expensive place

since you're treating me to a meal.

Are you willing to pay for it?

You're good!

You've learned how to date?

Amazing!

What date?

I just didn't want to eat

at a dirty roadside restaurant.

So,

this is the reason why you've asked Hong Xingxing

to dine at White Oak,

the internet-famous Western restaurant for couples,

and even reserved and paid in advance

for the couple's set menu?

Who said that?

It doesn't matter who said that

or if you want to admit your feelings

for Hong Xingxing.

This meal is crucial to you.

Be sure to make the most of it,

understand?

Understood.

He's finally starting to learn to pursue women.

Is everything set?

Mr. Mai,

everything has been arranged.

Good.

Xingxing,

luckily you asked me out today,

or else I'd be bored to death this weekend.

It's no big deal.

I'm bored at home on the weekends anyway.

Hello,

please enjoy your meal.

Why are the prawns crystal-clear?

I've never seen one before.

These are just some regular river prawns.

Really?

I've never had it before.

It's not bad.

(She has never even eaten a prawn?)

(I didn't know her family)

(was so poor.)

Meixi,

stop eating vegetables.

Have some meat.

Xingxing.

Anything on your mind?

I...

Oh,

you don't think you're responsible

for me losing my job, do you?

Please don't overthink it.

Work is work.

The matter between us is private.

They're not the same.

I understand that.

Meixi,

have you looked for a new job?

Looking for a new job?

My resume is too ordinary.

I'm afraid I won't get any good jobs either.

(True.)

(It's hard to find a company)

(that offers such a high salary as Runshi.)

If I can't find a job,

I'll have to work at home.

(No,)

(I can't let Meixi work that hard.)

Meixi,

I'll try to persuade Mr. Wei

to reinstate you next week.

It's fine, I...

It's okay.

We're good friends.

I have to help you.

Mr. Wei is a man of his word.

I'm afraid you'll get yourself into trouble.

(She's still being considerate of me now.)

(She's so kind.)

Eat more,

Meixi.

This is delicious too.

I...

Hi,

the bill, please.

You've just lost your job.

Now you need money the most.

How can I let you pay?

I'm fine.

It's just unemployment.

Just let me pay.

It's so nice to be hanging out with you.

Meixi,

I actually asked you out today

because I have something to give you.

Look,

you've lost your job.

Also, I've heard from our colleagues

that you were unemployed for several years before working at Runshi.

You probably don't have much savings then.

You have two younger brothers at home, right?

They're both students.

Students?

No,

I can't be Mr. Wei Senior's snitch.

That would make me feel sorry for my conscience.

Meixi, we want to study.

Meixi, we want to go to school.

Xingxing?

I should have thought of that.

Choosing to be a snitch

must be because you really needed money.

If I had known earlier

that the job was so important to you,

-I would've... -Actually,

it wasn't that important.

Here.

These are gift cards from Datong Supermarket.

Xingxing,

I don't really need

all this material stuff.

But I'll accept this bracelet.

That's...

It's so pretty.

Miss,

do we need to send your friend home?

No, it's fine.

We'll talk a little more.

He's...

He's my family's chauffeur.

Xingxing,

my family

is actually quite well-off.

You've misunderstood it.

Didn't you say

that you've never tried river prawns?

I've never had

a prawn that small.

But you said

that you have two younger brothers at home who are still studying.

They're in a private high school abroad.

You also said

that you could only work at home

after you've lost your job.

I meant,

go home and inherit my dad's company.

My dad owns a pharmaceutical packaging company.

He and Mr. Wei Senior know each other, too.

I worked as a secretary just to kill some time.

In fact, it doesn't really matter

that I've lost my job.

You didn't tell me before,

and I had no idea about it.

I thought that you...

I didn't mean to hide anything from you.

My parents are the ones who are rich.

I spend the money

they earn.

Thus, I don't talk much

about my family outside.

Actually, the only thing I'm sad

about leaving Runshi

is that I can't be with you anymore.

You know,

last night I even dreamed about us

going for a meal,

doing our makeup,

and going to the restroom together.

It's really the first time

I've made a friend as good as you.

Me too.

As you know,

I'm a tomboy

and the friends I've made are all male friends.

This is the first time

I've made a female friend.

I actually feel kind of shy

about making friends with a girl.

Well, how about this?

Let's hang out every weekend from now on.

Sure!

I'll drop you home then.

Alright!

Excuse me,

are you Ms. Hong?

Yes.

Mr. Wei asked me to pick you up and take you to the restaurant.

Well, sure.

I'll be off then, Meixi.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

(Mister, I'll go home and get changed first.)

C6902?

Mr. Wei,

you have the Natural Glacial Mineral Water and one Iced Americano next to you,

all prepared based on your preferences.

Mr. Chen,

good job.

You may just call me Chen.

We'll arrive at the White Oak Western Restaurant

estimated in 15 minutes.

Also,

the car that picked up Miss Hong

will arrive in 20 minutes.

Got it.

Is this the way to the Western restaurant?

It's a short cut.

(What's with all the secrecy?)

(It's weird.)

(I didn't)

(find this driver when I was checking)

(the company's employee list.)

Miss Hong,

there are some beverages next to you.

You may drink them.

I don't drink beverages.

There's water too.

Alright.

Why is there no signal on my phone?

This is odd.

That's normal.

Because there's a lot of traffic here.

Please don't worry.

Mister,

I haven't seen you before.

When did you join Runshi?

Hello, Mr. Kang.

Is there a black private car "C6902"

under the name of Mr. Wei's family?

No?

Are you sure?

This is definitely not a company car.

I've seen every company car.

Okay, I got it.

Thank you, Mr. Kang.

Turn around

and follow that car just now.

Got it, Miss. Sun.

Can we find a place to stop?

I want to use the restroom.

We'll arrive very soon.

Please hold on a little longer.

What...

What are you doing?

Who are you?

Where's Wei Lan?

Let go!

Let go of me!

Speak!

Who sent you?

What's their purpose?

Let go of me!

What are you doing?

The water is drugged, isn't it?

You won't tell me?

You can take a break then!

(No wonder there was no signal.)

(Such a high-end jamming device was used.)

(I wonder how Mr. Wei's doing now.)

(I have to call the police soon.)

(Mr. Wei must be here.)

Still no contact with Third Brother?

He should be fine, right?

I heard that Wei Lan's female bodyguard

is quite a fighter.

She's still a woman despite her fighting skills.

Even a man

would've been killed

with a blow from Third Brother.

Well, that's true.

You can ask me for anything that you want.

Just give me a number.

Once I call my butler,

he will bring you the cash at once.

I won't call the police.

You can also have a car if you want.

But in exchange,

you can't hurt my people.

What do you guys want?

Just do it to me.

Check this out.

Your son thinks he's a big hero.

Wei Lan!

Dad!

What do they really want?

Mr. Wei Senior,

now what?

I've shown you everything you wanted to see.

Your son

is here.

For now,

he's still unharmed.

However, I can't guarantee

what will happen to him later.

Stop!

I hope you'll be polite to him,

or else

you won't get a thing

that Mr. Mai wants!

I've emailed you the transfer contract.

I've printed it out.

Transfer contract?

Is it a transfer contract of QW1?

When Mr. Kang said that you wanted to sell QW1,

they had something to do with it, right?

Wei Lan,

shut up.

Just shut your mouth.

It's a simple matter.

Mr. Mai wanted the project,

but Mr. Wei Senior

was reluctant to sell it.

One wanted to buy it,

but the other refused to sell it.

We could only buy it by force.

So

we decided to teach Mr. Wei Jr.

a little lesson.

But I didn't expect you two

to be so fearless.

You pretended that nothing had happened,

didn't you?

Yesterday, you even launched the project plan

to look for a partner.

You even treated the plan as your own.

Did you take Mr. Mai's words

as a joke?

Wait!

Please wait!

I'm sorry for having overlooked the matter.

I've always been sincere

about transferring QW1.

It's just

that I haven't discussed it with my son.

How about now?

Do you still need to discuss it?

There's no need.

QW1 is at my disposal.

I'll sign it.

I'll watch you sign.

[Wei Baofeng]

Done.

Fax it to Mr. Mai as he has instructed.

Rest assured.

As long as Mr. Mai says yes,

I'll keep your son safe.

[Text Message] [Unknown Number]

(The fax address is near the East Sea area,)

(but there's no way to pinpoint it.)

(It's presumed to be an outlying island in the East Sea area.)

(It can't be tracked accurately within a short time.)

(Also,)

(Mr. Kang has called the police.)

(The police are on their way.)

Wei Baofeng, what are you waiting for?

Hurry up and fax it!

Fax it over.

I just saw

Third Brother's car.

Tell me,

what do I have to do to see them?

Press high beam three times

and the low beam twice.

And then drive into the alley

next to the hotel.

Someone will meet you there.

What else?

I don't know about the rest.

Thanks.

What are you doing?

I've verified the signal from the car.

Third Brother is driving to the back alley.

I think he's going to deal with that woman.

Ask Fourth Brother to lend him a hand.

Fourth Brother,

Third Brother is back.

Big Brother asked you to go lend him a hand.

Understood.

Hello?

Xingxing,

how are you?

Meixi,

where are you?

I've been following your car.

Stop following now.

Listen,

park somewhere far and don't move.

I've called the police.

Wei Lan should be in the building right in front.

Okay,

got it.
