[Episode 10]

Is it Gu Yi?

Don't mind him.

For me, you've been hurt by him

over the past three years.

I promise

I won't let you be wronged ever again.

It's all in the past.

Brother.

Brother.

Sister-in-law.

Isn't this Mr. Gu?

Long time no see.

Well, I've been seeing you a lot on titbits these days.

The media always likes to make up stories.

You may want to spend more time thinking about your husband

instead of worrying about this.

He's still unemployed, right?

He's already old.

He should have a rest.

Thanks to Yi, who gave him a break.

It's not a break.

Mr. Gu, how selfless you are.

You can spend a whole lot of money on a beauty

while sweeping your family out.

Son.

She's your aunt, your elder.

You're in charge of the company.

You have the final say.

It's not easy for your aunt and uncle.

Your uncle is still unemployed.

The whole family is counting on you.

Be more considerate of them.

OK, Mom. I see.

Sister-in-law.

Brother has been recuperating in Xilin Mountain, right?

Did he suddenly come back

because he's feeling better?

Still the same.

He's aged.

The treatment can't be too invasive.

He can only receive conservative treatment.

The burden of the company

will be handed over to Yi.

Not necessarily.

Not necessarily?

What do you mean?

Are you going to take charge of this company or what?

I'm not that capable.

But someone is.

It's time. Let's eat.

Son, go get your dad.

I just took a look around.

That's why I'm late.

Who is this?

This is

the son I had with Su Nian.

He used to live outside.

Now he's finally home.

You two just reunited.

There must be a lot you want to talk about.

It's understandable that you two spent some time talking.

Uncle.

Aunt. Uncle.

Mrs. Fang.

My name is Su Juan.

Juan, take a seat.

If everyone comes to recognize their kinships with our family,

I don't think there'll be enough seats for everyone.

Sister-in-law, you are wrong about this.

Brother and Juan took a paternity test long ago.

He's indeed a member of the Gu family.

His surname is Su, not Gu.

How can he count as a member of the Gu family?

No matter what his surname is,

he has the Gu family's blood.

Exactly.

I won't recognize

some bastard of dubious origin.

It doesn't matter if you recognize him or not.

Dad.

Don't be angry.

I didn't think this through.

I'll change my surname back.

No need.

Just take your mom's surname. No need to change.

Speaking of which, Juan is one year older than Gu Yi.

Make a toast to your elder brother.

Brothers don't have to stand on ceremony.

Here's to you, my younger brother.

I don't have an elder brother.

I won't have this meal.

Gu Yi.

Stop!

Brother, look at him.

It's annoying enough that he's like this in the company.

Now he's like this even at home.

Outrageous.

He doesn't respect you at all.

Exactly.

Aunt. Uncle.

This is not his fault.

If I suddenly have an elder brother,

I won't be able to get used to it either.

Juan.

You are too considerate.

Especially in the company,

don't be a pushover.

What did you say?

He's joining Anxia?

Yes.

From tomorrow onwards,

Juan will join the company

and be the manager of Project Development Department.

Gu Yi can't manage the company by himself.

I want Juan to help him.

I can't have this dinner either.

Dad.

I'm inexperienced.

I may not be able to take such a high position.

Besides,

I didn't come back to join the company.

I just want to spend more time with you.

Don't be too modest.

I know your ability.

Exactly. Do your best.

Aunt and uncle will help you.

We'll definitely help you.

Forget about them. Let's eat.

OK.

-Come on. -Okay.

Good timing. Take your things away.

What are you doing?

I'm putting it back.

Give it to me.

Give it to me.

I said give it to me!

Qiao Jing.

Let go.

No.

Let go!

Let go!

Qiao Jing, don't kick me out. I'm not leaving.

Don't touch me.

Don't touch me.

Get lost!

Get out!

Get out!

Where did you go?

Why are you like this?

Do you know

your dad wants Su Juan to join the company?

Isn't this why

he made such a high-profile comeback?

But Anxia won't keep incapable people.

He can get in the company, but he may not be able to stay.

Son, you can't underestimate him.

Su Juan is not simple.

Even an old fox like your dad

was fooled by him.

Listen to me.

Mom.

I want to be alone.

What do you want, Gu Yi?

Why are you here?

I miss you. I came to see you.

Did you drink?

Come in.

Why did you drink so much?

I was on a dinner party tonight.

I went to the Gu family to recognize our kinship today.

I was happy, so I drank quite a lot.

Are you really happy?

It doesn't matter if I'm happy or not.

What matters is whether the Gu family is happy or not.

If you're unhappy,

why don't you stay away from them?

I have the blood of the Gu family.

I have no choice.

Besides, for the sake of my mom,

I can't back off.

Sit here.

Your stomach is always weak.

I'll get you some honey water.

[Anxia Group]

Listen up, everyone in the President's Office.

Notify all the high-level and middle-level employees of the company

to attend Mr. Su's induction ceremony

at 9 a.m. tomorrow.

Mr. Su? Who's that?

The new Project Development Department manager appointed by Chairman Gu.

I heard that Mr. Su

is Chairman Gu's illegitimate son.

He just returned to the family recentely.

How dare he show off like this?

He's trying to seize Mr. Gu's power, right?

The company was solely developed by Mr. Gu.

An outsider wants to take away Mr. Gu's power?

That's right.

We need to resist the outsider

and protect the best Mr. Gu in the world.

Don't worry, Juan.

This is your first time in the company.

We have to hold a grand ceremony.

I've arranged it for you.

All the higher-up employees of the company must come.

Actually, there's no need to make a fuss over this.

No, we have to.

You are the Crown Prince of Anxia.

You can't let you lose face.

Where are they?

Where's the decoration I ordered?

This is outrageous!

Do they respect us at all?

Aunt, it's fine.

Maybe everyone is busy with work.

It's understandable that they don't have time.

One or two of them may not have time.

Is it possible that everyone's busy?

Didn't I inform you

to attend Mr. Su's induction ceremony at nine?

Where is everyone?

Mr. Gu called all the executives for a meeting on short notice.

Everyone is in the meeting room now.

I knew it. Let's go.

Aunt.

Ms. Jian.

Your design is pleasing to the eye but of no use.

That's why the buildings were unsalable.

The design was approved during evaluation.

And now there's a problem?

There's no problem with the evaluation.

It's your design that made the buildings unsalable.

Enough.

What I want is a solution.

Not a battle of right or wrong.

Do you have a solution?

Mr. Gu.

What do you mean

calling everyone away

and stopping them from attending Mr. Su's induction ceremony?

Yang. Send irrelevant people away.

Irrelevant?

This is the Project Development Department manager

appointed by Chairman Gu himself.

He's "irrelevant" to you?

He's appointed by Chairman Gu, so what?

What Anxia cares about is ability,

not some messy nepotism.

Aunt.

Mr. Gu is right.

Ability is what matters in the company.

Everyone here is my senior.

I look forward to working with you.

I saw you were discussing

the issue of the buildings being unsalable in the new district.

I have some humble opinions.

I'm not sure if they can be of help to you.

Chairman Gu showed me

some documents of the buildings in the new district.

There are indeed some problems

in design.

But since they're already built,

it can't be adjusted for now.

But if we sell them at a discount,

it's not only not cost-effective,

but it'll also affect the reputation of Anxia.

So I think

if we can want to maximize the profit,

we can try to transform these buildings

into brand apartments that can only be rented but can't be bought.

Mr. Su.

You don't know the market at all.

The profit of renting a place is nothing like the profit of selling it.

That's true for the short term.

But these buildings

are located in the new development zone of Changming.

The local government is providing lots of support

and reforming the rental policy.

But since the short-term return is low,

not many real estate companies have responded.

If Anxia can set an example at this point,

not only can we get the first round of bonus out of the policy,

but it can also boost the reputation of Anxia.

Showing that we respond to the policy call and benefit the people.

This way, Anxia can open the market in Changming faster.

Exchanging short-term losses for long-term profits.

Why not?

Mr. Gu.

It seems that this plan is really feasible.

Mr. Su is not bad.

In that case,

I'll leave this project to you.

I want to see the project execution plan

in three days.

You suddenly have an elder brother.

How do you feel?

Do you want it?

No, I can't handle it.

Su Juan is quite capable.

He showed his capabilities on his first day in the company.

He is indeed not a blockhead.

So you've accepted him?

I thought you wished you could tear him apart.

For the company,

he is a capable employee.

He can bring profit to the company.

I have no reason not to accept him.

What about you, personally?

Let's not talk about this.

I'm here to drink with you.

We're having a good time, okay?

Bottoms up.

She threw away everything I bought for her.

She even threw me away.

Let me tell you.

She's so cruel.

I won't go back

even if I die.

You have guts.

Cheers.

Why are you here?

Why can't I be here?

It's between me and her.

It's none of your business.

Mr. Gu.

Don't take yourself too seriously.

I believe you know

you are my substitute.

If it weren't for me,

Qiao Jing wouldn't have paid attention to you at all.

That was in the past.

Now, she has feelings for me.

Why do you think so?

Just because you broke off an engagement for her?

Have you forgotten

how you treated her for the past three years?

Do you think she'll forgive you

just for some sweet words and

some trivial gestures?

I'm telling you.

It's impossible.

You and your mother ruined my family.

You made Qiao Jing and I be separated for four years.

Now the authentic one is back.

It's time for you to leave.

Brother.

Su Juan.

Are you okay?

You are so protective of him.

What are you doing here?

Now that he's back,

you don't want to see me anymore, right?

Qiao Jing, don't forget

how you cried and begged me

for my attention in the past three years.

Now that he's back,

you're happy

and you want to kick me out, right?

Qiao Jing, I'm telling you. It's impossible.

Didn't you promise

to be with me forever?

No one can change that.

You forced us to become

what we are now.

A person who deceived me and used me

doesn't have the right to negotiate with me.

Qiao Jing.

Stop pestering her.

Let go.

Let go!

Come in.

Mr. Gu, this document needs your signature.

Anything else?

Mr. Gu, this...

[Qiao Jing]

Print me a new copy.

Okay.

Jin Lin.

Thank you for throwing a welcome party for me.

This is what we should do.

[Anxia Group]

Mr. Gu.

We want to throw a welcome party for Mr. Su.

Please join us

if you have time.

I don't.

Those who can have dinner with Mr. Gu are all celebrities in the industry.

It's uncomfortable for them to be with us.

Don't make it hard for him.

Who said I'd be uncomfortable?

Everyone from the President's Office must be there.

No matter how tiring work is,

as long as I can have hotpot,

I can come back to life.

It's not easy to line up for this restaurant.

Have some more.

We don't know when we can eat this again.

Pour me a drink.

Which one do you want?

Excuse me.

Our restaurant recently launched

a spicy food challenge.

Eat the chilis in ten minutes.

The higher the spiciness, the higher the reward.

If you can complete the challenge,

you'll get a three-month free pass of our restaurant.

Would you like to accept the challenge?

Free hotpot for three months?

It's no longer a dream to have hotpot for every meal.

Why don't we accept the challenge?

Mr. Su, what do you think?

You guys do it.

I have a light taste.

I can't eat spicy food.

I'll do it.

It's not about the taste.

Someone is just scared.

The spiciness of the chilis in front of you

progressively increases from left to right.

To be safe,

please start the challenge

with the chili of the lowest spiciness.

Ready?

Three, two, one. Go.

Why is it so hot?

I didn't notice.

Come on, Mr. Gu!

Come on, Mr. Gu!

Mr. Su, come on!

Mr. Gu, come on!

Come on! Come on!

Mr. Gu, come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Mr. Su, come on!

Hurry up. It'll be over soon.

You're about to win, Mr. Su.

Mr. Su.

Come on.

Mr. Gu, are you okay?

Yes.

Mr. Su, come on.

Mr. Su, again.

You can do it.

You're about to win, Mr. Su.

There's a small one.

Come on.

Victory is just around the corner.

Come on.

Mr. Su.

Mr. Su, go go go!

Come on, Mr. Gu.

You can do it.

Have some water.

Yes, take a water break.

Right.

So impressive.

[Ziwei Hotpot]

Send the female colleagues home first.

It's all arranged.

Mr. Gu, are you okay?

I have stomach medicine in my bag.

No need. You may go home.

Are you really okay?

Of course. Just go.

Okay, take care.

What's wrong?

Are you feeling upset in your stomach?

It's okay. I ate something too spicy.

Why did you have so much spicy food?

Let's go. I'll take you home.

Qiao Jing.

I feel bad too.

Go to the doctor.

Why do you come to me?
