[Episode 11]

But

we have strict criteria for the candidates

who can use this prosthetic limb.

For example,

the candidate has to be around 50 years old

and of sound mind.

It's best if the candidate is athletic

and has short hair.

How do you know

so much about me?

Come on, mister!

Look at your taut muscle,

your observant eyes,

and that sprightly spirit you exude.

You are the best candidate

for this prosthetic limb.

I am?

Yes.

Can I try it?

Definitely.

I'm home.

Dad.

What took you

so long?

I'm starving.

Come on.

Come on.

Wow.

Dad.

What did you get?

Open it.

It's something amazing.

Dad.

Where did you get this?

You see,

I didn't want it.

I thought it looks expensive

and I didn't want to get into any trouble.

However, the salesman said

this is a test product.

I'm not using it for free.

Each month, I have to send my feedback via e-mail

regarding the difficulties I face when using it.

I'm their guinea pig.

Dad.

What does the salesman

look like?

Like

a normal person.

Dad.

Is he a tall, lanky,

slightly handsome,

celebrity lookalike,

man?

Not at all.

He's quite ugly

and he wears glasses.

He's chatty.

So it's you.

Who?

[Buy Prosthetic Limb]

[Imported from US, Satisfaction Guaranteed]

♪Love is becoming clearer♪

I'm not surprised that you figured it out,

but I didn't expect you

to be dumb enough to return it to me.

I will return it of course.

I can't possibly accept such an expensive gift.

Because...

Because I promised you when you started working here.

You must have forgotten about it.

I did not.

I asked you if I could

file a claim for my family member's prosthetic limb fee.

You said yes.

Consider this a bonus from the company.

Everyone has one.

Impossible.

Ask Ms. Sun or Zhou Yilin then.

So,

please accept it.

Even if you return it to me,

I have no use for it.

But...

My dad needs this prosthetic limb.

but I want to buy one myself.

Are you always

this headstrong?

Mr. Wei.

I know you want to help me.

But my dad and I don't like to be helped.

It upsets us.

Yes?

What?

We'll be there right now.

Let's go.

Gao Song is a sly fox.

We can't catch a break at all.

What happened?

Caicai tinkered with the lab computer in an attempt

to steal information with a virus.

Our original plan

was to pretend we didn't notice the Trojan horse

and prepare a fake document

to mislead

our opponent.

What we didn't expect

was that when the Trojan horse was triggered,

it planted a virus in the computer too.

After it copied the data,

it destroyed the firewall

and began to corrupt the system files.

Is it very serious?

Fortunately, the security system set up by Wei Lan

was strong enough.

Ling Ting and I also

cut the power to all lab computers.

All in all, this virus only

managed to destroy the lab footage

for the open bid

that we stored externally.

But

that means we have to prepare everything once more.

The bidder conference

will have to be postponed for at least

a month.

So?

They must be absolutely devastated.

Apparently, they called everyone

for a meeting at the lab.

I bet they are busy

dealing with the mess now.

I have the key information now.

Mr. Wei

and his son?

I, the usurper, just have to lift my finger

and they will be out of the game.

Mr. Gao.

Well...

They won't know it was me, will they?

Don't worry.

Even if they find out,

I'll protect you.

Have a look at that one.

That one.

Mr. Zhou.

Yes?

Mr. Wei is still working?

He's like that.

When he works, he forgets the world around him.

No one can convince him otherwise.

Has he always been like that?

Yes.

You have no idea.

When he took over this company,

he was just an acting chairman.

His father

gave him a trial period of one month.

It was to evaluate

if he could bring results within a month.

Then, he would decide if Wei Lan could continue.

He must be under a lot of pressure right now.

He spends his night at home going through the documents

or crashing on his

office couch.

During the day,

he has to appear spirited and motivated.

Can you imagine the stress?

Considering his workload,

I understand why he's so weak now.

I know

Wei Lan might look nonchalant usually,

but for this project,

he commits

100% to it.

But you...

After you came,

he started to

loosen up a bit.

I have to

thank you for that.

Sir,

I told Wei Lan that you are back.

Okay.

Oh.

Don't forget

that the doctor gave you a two-day leave.

Yes.

Just tell Lan

that I'm nursing my health

in Europe.

I don't want to return to the hospital.

Find me a doctor

to look after me

at home.

That won't do.

Once Wei Lan comes home,

you won't be able to hide your sickness from him.

Come home?

I can't even remember

when

he last came back.

[The tree wishes...] Gao.

You came to visit me suddenly

with many gifts.

Now, now.

Just tell me what you want.

Mr. Wei.

In my opinion,

we should punish Caicai

and make an example of him.

Let's take legal actions

and send him to jail.

We can't keep him in the Chairman's Office.

But I heard

he was manipulated.

In comparison,

his manipulator

is more contemptible, isn't he?

Right.

I know

he comes from a modest household.

He works hard,

but he

is so gullible

that he was tricked.

Perhaps,

we do as you wish

and give him a warning?

Not my position, not my business.

Wei Lan is the presiding chairman.

You should consult him.

I am in retirement now.

I prefer to practice my calligraphy

and fish.

If I have the time,

I'll listen to some opera.

Mr. Wei.

You founded everything.

Back then,

we followed your lead,

so you still have the bigger authority.

Your son is talented,

but he lacks experience.

If

he didn't choose the gracious path like you do

and punished Caicai harshly...

Gao.

What do you think

of this piece?

[The trees wish to remain still, but the wind will not stop blowing.]

I'm not an expert in this.

Mr. Wei.

We truly hope

that you can come back to lead us.

To complete a good calligraphy art piece,

you first

need to calm your mind.

The same goes for us.

Don't let your brash youthfulness

get ahead of you.

Gao,

do you know

why I favored you?

Because you

have always been calm and composed.

But now,

you're losing it.

Sir,

you should rest now.

Have some calming tea.

Okay.

I have imposed myself for long enough.

Rest well now.

I should get going.

Okay.

I'm fine with it if this accident

was orchestrated by another business rival.

It worries me if it was Wonder's doing again.

I'm even starting to suspect

that Gao Song

has something to do with it too.

Oh, goodness.

Lan

is having a harder time

than I imagined.

That old fox.

I laid the bait for him,

but he didn't take it.

I miscalculated last time and Wei Lan

got out unscathed.

You were supposed to retrieve information regarding QW1,

but we were given fake information

and we lost one of our own.

It seems like we underestimated Wei Lan.

Let's readjust our tactics.

What do you want to do?

I got news

that the pharmaceutical suppliers are concocting something huge.

They plan to cease supplying

several common ingredients to the buyers.

If Runshi accepts a deal for medicine that requires those ingredients,

when the supply disruption takes place,

it will not be able to deliver the order.

Wei Lan's position

will become shaky.

Who will make the deal with Wei Lan?

Be patient.

[Jiale Pharmaceutical] Isn't Runshi

the sworn enemy

of Jiale?

Approach them

and have a talk.

[Jiale Pharmaceutical Proposal] You tell them

about this plan

and set up the trap.

Wei Lan will happily

jump into it.

[Runshi's father-son feud: a new puppet chairman? The in-fighting of a pharmaceutical giant]

[Mr. Kang] (Come home for dinner tonight.)

(Your father wants to see you.)

Hong Xingxing.

Sorry.

Are you all right?

You look so familiar.

Oh, I remember.

You're that

"Welcome to Runshi..."

Mr. Wei Senior.

Why did you come to me in secret?

I want to talk to you.

Go ahead.

I know you're

one of the few who has earned Wei Lan's trust.

I would like

to give you a task.

Mr. Wei Senior.

First thing first,

I will not spy on your son

for you.

Don't worry.

I did not come to see you

as the ex-chairman

of Runshi,

but as

his father.

It's nothing huge.

I want you to persuade Wei Lan

to come home to visit me.

My son...

He doesn't want to see me.

I want to see my son.

It's not too much to ask for, is it?

Why

don't you talk to him directly?

He isn't happy to see me.

Unless it's absolutely necessary,

I won't go to him.

Is there a misunderstanding between you two?

Not a misunderstanding.

But hatred.

Wei Lan.

He hates me.

How

is that possible?

There is nothing

a father and his son cannot overcome together.

Do we look like father and son to you?

Other than work,

he won't

tell me anything about him.

I'm old enough.

I don't even know how many more times

I get to see him before I pass away.

Mr. Wei.

You still have time.

I'm sure he'll come to terms with you.

Mr. Wei.

[Diagnosis: Stage 3 Lung Cancer, Ongoing Metastasis] Don't think too much of it.

You should spend more time with your family

and remain positive.

That will slow down the condition.

I hope so.

Let's take a break.

Wei Lan.

When I first met you,

I thought you were cold and distant.

You were unapproachable

and you kept everything to yourself.

I was worried about you.

I found you interesting.

But as I know more about you,

I think you have an adorable side.

You joke around

even though your joke might not be funny.

I don't think you are the perfect heir

that everyone makes you out to be.

In fact, you have a lot of flaws.

For example...

Enough.

We can skip that part.

I'm sensitive.

I can't take all that.

See?

A self-deprecating joke.

That's wonderful.

Look at your eyes.

What's wrong with my eyes?

They are happier than before.

Other than happiness,

do you see something else?

What else?

There's also

my irresistible

charm.

I only find eye gunk.

Seriously?

Check my eyes again.

Check them closely.

I don't have any eye gunks.

A prince charming like me doesn't have them.

All right.

I'm glad you aren't

as tense as before.

That's all for today's training.

Let's go.

If you're free,

go home.

Maybe that will put your mind to ease.

You met with that old man?

No.

I...

Did he brainwash you

into taking his side now?

I was being sincere when I told you

you should go home and see him.

I'm a fool.

And here I thought you were truly concerned about me

and you were here to cheer me up.

I am concerned about you.

Wei Lan!

I have a family too.

I know its warmth.

No matter how wide the gulf is between you and your father,

your blood relation to him

is one bond that you can never sever.

I see the enormous stress

you have to shoulder alone.

Why can't you take a step back

and allow your family to support you?

You didn't go through what I went through,

so you have no right to criticize me.

I just don't want you to carry all that alone.

Besides,

your father misses you a lot.

That's enough!

You...

One moment you two were lovey-dovey,

but the next moment, you yelled at each other.

You two sure are having

a tumultuous relationship.

Is this

a melodrama now?

I didn't want to argue with her.

Why

did you two argue then?

You don't like her anymore?

She's great.

I just think

we can't grow closer.

You can't grow closer?

Why?

Because you two are hedgehogs?

Be serious.

I am.

Look.

What do you mean you two can't grow closer?

When did you take that photo?

None of your business.

Studies have shown

that like animals,

humans can only

fall asleep soundly

in an environment where they feel safe.

That sleeping posture

says a lot about you two.

Posture?

Position.

Either way,

this photo here

shows that you two are dependent on each other.

So what?

Wei Lan.

Wei Lan.

What's wrong with you?

Hello?

Wait.

Why

are you so down?

Because

of Hong Xingxing?

Something happened to the lab?

Or because your father

has returned?

All of them?

Earlier on, she was always by my side.

I was very happy

every day.

So happy that I forgot what I was like

before I met her.

But the return of the old man

pulled me back to reality.

Wait.

What does your father's return

have anything to do with you two?

We're from different worlds.

Wait.

Hold on.

You lost me there.

How exactly that you two

are from different worlds?

I mean,

she...

She's too optimistic.

She's like the sun.

Wherever she goes,

it's warm and bright.

She makes you forget your troubles.

She makes you think that your world

is as warm as hers.

But that's not the case.

What case?

Isn't it great to have someone like her

by your side?

We won't get each other.

You can tell from her personality

that she comes from a happy family.

She once mentioned

that her father and she

were comrades.

They are like buddies.

She grew up in a carefree environment.

After high school, she was enlisted in the military.

She had a simple environment

and had a simple goal.

She is cared for

and loved.

Her life is too perfect

to sympathize with me.

She will not understand the relationship between my dad and me.

I don't deserve her.

Wei Lan.

Your father went to attend a business meeting out of town.

He didn't want to wake you up,

so he didn't come to say goodbye.

But he let me tell you

that he has found a school for you.

You will depart

this Sunday.

Don't worry.

I have arranged for you

a host family.

Work hard

in the school abroad now.

Don't let your father down.

Do you hear me?

Yes, I do.

Lan.

You're back.

Come on.

I sent you

the proposal to appoint you as the acting chairman.

Did you take a look?

Hasn't it already been decided?

You want some?

No?

Fine, I'll drink it alone.

What?

I shouldn't drink it?

Embarrassing?

As if I care.

I'm so glad

that you're always there

to keep me company.

Shut up!

Are you crazy?

Stop shouting.

I was drunk last night.

I can't recall anything.

What happened last night?

You just came to my house

to invite me for a morning jog.

Is that right?

No.

I spent the night here.

I just woke up.

Why...

Why are you wearing my clothes?

You...

Don't get the wrong idea.

You puked on my clothes last night.

You gave me this shirt.

However,

last night

was very fun.

Why won't he pick up?

Did something happen to him?

Hi.

Mr. Zhou.

Is Mr. Wei home?

I knock on his door, but no one answers it.

Did something happen to him?

You know what?

The spare key

is under the seventh flower pot on the third window in the backyard.

Can you go find it?

You're wasted.

Truth or dare?

Childish.

We're not playing any games when you're this wasted.

You shouldn't have drunk that much.

Let me bring you back to your room.

No!

Pick one.

Or I won't go to bed.

Is that a threat now?

I am a woman of my word.

If I say I'm not playing it, I mean it.

Truth or dare?

My turn.

I'll do it.

Truth.

Do you know why I was mad when you asked me

to go home?

I don't want to see him.

I'm not as smart as him.

If I couldn't get first place, he'd hit me.

Mr. Kang would then come to comfort me.

I asked Mr. Kang,

"Why can't you be my father instead?"

Staying abroad alone

was so difficult.

I slept alone,

woke up alone,

went to school alone,

ate alone,

watched movies alone,

and shopped alone.

I tried so hard.

So so so so hard.

I can tell.

I have to make sure

I ace everything every day.

And then, I got first place in school.

I had muscles too.

I became popular out of a sudden.

So many girls

confessed to me.

But I didn't like them at all.

What I said today

is true.

Do you know who I like?

Who...
