[The Outsider]

[Episode 3]

Excuse me.

Hello.

You're her...

Cousin.

Here's the thing, Miss Su.

Let's put our misunderstanding aside first.

Today, we'll resolve

the conflict between the two of them.

Do you agree with me?

Yes, Wang Jian's father.

Have you seen a 12th-grader having such a young father?

You might be his stepfather.

Let me introduce myself properly.

I'm Wang Jian's elder brother.

You can come to me if anything happens.

The two of them seem

to have some misunderstandings.

It's not a misunderstanding. It's proven.

He attempted to cheat on the exam again.

Luckily, the invigilator found out.

If he really copied my answer,

I'd definitely face punishment.

He doesn't study and has almost caused me trouble.

Mr. Wang, it's understandable that teenagers have inappropriate behavior

during puberty.

As long as he admits his mistake.

But regarding the seat issue...

That's what I want to talk about.

I do think

that it's always good to associate with positive influence.

This brat told me,

as long as Zhong... What's her name again?

"Sheng" as in voice. She has a sweet voice.

I know.

As long as Zhong Sheng agrees to sit beside him,

he'll start anew and improve himself.

As his brother,

I'll vouch for his determination.

In that case,

it shows that you're dense.

Instead of punishing your brother for his mistake,

you're blindly tolerating his behavior.

It makes you denser.

Well done.

No one has talked to him like that before.

Shut it.

Fine, you're truly straightforward.

I won't beat around the bush.

As long as Zhong Sheng agrees to sit beside Wang Jian,

I'll let you join the Business Development Department right away.

We can wipe the slate clean. How does this sound?

He's right.

Both of my brothers are in Ansheng.

If you join in,

Ju'an will look out for you.

Don't need to feel shy.

Just give me an answer. Let's be real.

If you're not satisfied with the terms,

you can tell me what you want.

But this is a win-win collaboration,

-people with a clear mind -That's right.

won't turn it down.

(Calm down.)

(He's given a way out)

(and the job offer.)

(Don't let your ruddy ego ruin things)

(at this moment.)

(Yes, that's it.)

(Act naturally.)

Don't you insult my sister!

Stay composed.

Mo, it'll be all right.

Mr. Wang, right?

You shouldn't

take people lightly

and try to bribe my sister with a mere job offer.

This is humiliating.

We haven't settled the score for what has happened in the club.

You're so eager to get away with this.

Mo, don't be afraid. I have your back.

Are the terms not good enough?

What has happened in the club?

Wait.

Take the box and come with me.

Enough, stop dragging me.

Mo. What's wrong?

Don't tell me you were going to say yes.

How could that be?

I just don't want to make you lose face

in front of your classmate.

Mind not about Wang Jian.

But do you really believe that Wang Ju'an

didn't gang up with his brother?

You shouldn't think about that.

Your priority now

is to get ready for the college entrance exam

and keep yourself in tip-top condition.

Are you sure you won't change your mind?

You should give her a chance to think about it.

They're unbelievable.

What should I do to change the world?

The world never changes for someone.

It's us who need to change and adapt to the world.

Let's go.

Mr. Shang.

Mr. Wang of Ansheng sent you this.

What's this? It looks dull and small.

This is the print by Albrecht Dürer.

It can cost hundreds of thousands

for such a small piece.

That's hefty.

But why did Wang Ju'an

send me this print?

The dawn is breaking when the rooster crows?

Or is he trying to say that the rooster is a mere chicken

even though it has flown high up,

and the lion will rise one day?

We don't know who's the rooster and who's the lion yet.

Do you want to hang it up?

Put it away.

I'll head out, then.

(Wang Ju'an,)

(whether you're a rooster or a lion,)

(I'll stomp on you.)

(You'll never rise.)

From my understanding of him,

he wouldn't do anything to her.

Of course, I know what kind of person Wang Ju'an is.

To my surprise,

Su Mo didn't make a fuss about it.

She just let it go.

Gosh, it was all for naught.

Not really.

Maybe she needs someone to give her a shove.

Do you want her to make a scene out of this?

At this time,

as long as someone makes a scene out of this before the board,

he'll have to

stand down as the CEO.

Isn't that what you want?

But things might end badly

if it's out of our hands.

Why? Feel bad for him?

No, it's not that.

I'm worried that Ansheng

might be inflicted badly.

After all, I'm the shareholder.

It's not worth it

if this turns into a criminal case.

Wang Ju'an did nothing.

It won't turn into a criminal case.

What if they look into

how Su Mo ended up in Wang Ju'an's room?

Just insist

that she got drunk and went in there herself,

that's it.

You shouldn't be softhearted.

Did you forget

what he and Zhang Yanan have done to you?

Chun.

You're indeed cruel. I shall learn from you.

Hello, Miss Su.

Hello.

Congratulations, Miss Su.

You've passed the assessment from the department supervisor.

Thank you.

So, we'd like to

verify your information.

It's just a normal procedure.

Can you start at any time?

I've already resigned from my previous job.

I can start anytime.

That's great.

By the way,

you forgot to fill up the contact person from your previous company.

[Reference's Name and Contact Number]

It can be from the same department

or the HR personnel.

We just want to verify the information

of your previous position.

As you know, according to the employee handbook...

(Your previous company told me)

(that you were fired because of customer complaints.)

So, they removed you.

I'm sorry.

You don't have to look into that.

I'm sorry for wasting your time.

Hello.

Is this Miss Su?

May I ask who's calling?

We just met a few days ago.

And you've already forgotten me, Miss Su.

Pretty ladies always have a bad memory.

Let's go inside for a drink and talk.

No, thanks.

No alcohol, we'll drink coffee.

I'm afraid someone might be drugged.

Miss Su, are you worried that I'll drug you?

No, I fear I can't control myself

and drug your coffee.

You're so outspoken. I really like that.

You must be the type Ju'an likes.

Didn't sparks fly between you?

Shameless.

Don't talk nonsense.

You have the guts to call me here. So, what's the matter?

Well, let me get straight to the point.

Miss Su, you're jobless now.

I guess your days must be tough, right?

There's 300,000 yuan in this card.

It's a compensation for you.

I don't care about what your relationship is

with my brother,

you'll get the money

if you go and make a scene about that at Ansheng.

Not only did you frame, but you also want to use me now.

Use you?

People use each other in their favor,

that's how we do in society.

Besides, you can get benefits from this.

Dream on!

How much?

Ju'an.

Tell me, how much is on the card?

300,000.

I wanted her to forget about that

and stop making trouble.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Nonsense?

It's between us brothers.

Don't you interfere.

I wouldn't care about you two

if you didn't want to use me.

Remember this.

No one is going to know what has happened that night.

Did you hear me?

Since you know he wants to use you,

why did you come here? Are you after this?

This is senseless.

Can you not take things at face value?

I thought you were so upright

to turn down my offer.

Did you throw your dignity somewhere else?

What do you take me for?

He's like that.

He thinks he's an unparalleled talent,

and he looks down upon others.

Miss Su, you don't know much about Wang Ju'an.

So, just take the money and punish him.

Take back your card.

(All evidence has gone now.)

(But this card can be served as proof.)

300,000?

Is he trying to demean you for that night, or to buy your silence?

No, we can't take this money.

Of course we can't.

I'm planning to hand over this card to the police.

This is the evidence of their evildoing.

That's right. I'm on your side.

They'll never get away with this.

This is humiliating.

But I didn't expect them to offer 300,000 yuan so easily.

Enough of that. Stop worrying.

Your priority now

is to study, all right?

Rest assured. I've never neglected my studies.

Aunt, did you change my bed sheets?

Yes.

Give me a hand, I'm going to make Sheng's bed.

Did you see a bank card?

Bank card?

Gold color. Industrial and Commercial Bank.

No.

Gosh.

Calm down.

I didn't take that.

But it won't disappear since it's at home.

Why are you so anxious

out of a sudden? How much is inside it?

Look how panicked you are.

300,000.

300,000?

Where did you get such big money?

That's not mine.

We must find it no matter what.

Gosh, this is going to doom.

What has happened? Who gave you that money?

Did you take a loan?

No.

Gosh, what has happened?

I'm so anxious now because of you.

The bank said the owner must bring all documents

and make the cancellation in person.

Stop your trick. You're too naive.

Believe it or not, the card disappeared.

Even if you don't cancel it, I won't take the money.

As for what happened in the club, I won't let you off easily.

Got it.

Come back.

You got squat.

[Ansheng]

The card is missing?

I've told Mr. Wang Jr. about this.

But he refused to cancel the card.

But why did you come to me?

I don't have the footage or evidence.

So the police won't file a case.

I've thought of publishing it

online

to garner public attention on Ansheng.

But I'm weak and powerless,

so I'm afraid it might backfire on me.

But I won't allow you all

to go unpunished.

It was Wang Siwei who asked me to go over.

I just want to know

how he deceived me.

I need to know what has actually happened.

So, you came here to clarify

why you were with Siwei that day?

Also, I want to explain

what happened to the money.

I don't want to carry the blame all day long.

Here's an idea for you.

Ask him for another 30 million.

What do you mean?

I always think it's too little

that my scandal is only worth 300,000.

If you think that's too much,

it should be 3 million at the very least.

Otherwise, I feel so worthless.

Are you making fun of me?

No, I'm serious about this.

If you ask him for 30 million,

you're rich, then.

And that night, my...

That compensates a little for our sacrifice.

Sacrifice?

You put your arms around my neck...

That's quite a sacrifice for me.

What nonsense are you spewing?

Well, you were the one who called me "An", right?

I was not calling you.

Enough. No need to explain. I understand.

You'll be charged if you take a weapon in.

I've written a statement to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Declaration.

I, Su Mo,

received a bank card from Wang Siwei.

But the card went missing.

I didn't use the money on the card,

and I notified the card owner to cancel it immediately.

Any losses incurred after my cancellation request is rejected

aren't my responsibility.

I've already signed it.

Drop your signature here.

Shouldn't you let Wang Siwei sign this?

Why me?

You're involved in this too, and you're his brother.

Nothing's wrong with this.

I know the money means nothing

to you.

But this figure is huge enough to make me uneasy.

I do need money,

but every dime of my money should come in legally.

Everyone holds a bottom line

that makes them feel secure.

It's not what 300,000 can buy off.

[Declaration, Declarant: Su Mo Party Involved: Wang Ju'an]

Happy now?

Let me carry them.

Get off me.

Have your cousin got a job yet?

I've already known the whole story.

Don't worry.

I'll ask my brother to help her.

It's just a job, right?

Yes. You say it as if it's something easy.

It's just a job, right?

That's not what I meant.

I couldn't care less

about what you mean.

I'll tell Ms. Wang

that I'll switch my place to the last row

starting next week.

I want nothing to do with you now.

You're so cruel.

Forget it.

Why should I care about him?

♪My love never dies even if I die♪

♪I will cry my heart out and that's not enough♪

Just leave the luggage at the entrance, Mr. Zhang.

Okay.

Mr. Wang, the wallpaper in your room has been reinstalled.

We've done deep cleaning

and pollutant assessment too.

Everything is all right. Please rest assured.

Thank you so much, Mr. Zhang.

I'm not going out later. You can get rest earlier.

Okay. I'll fetch you tomorrow morning.

Okay.

You're home.

I thought you had already forgotten

where the gate is.

Sit.

Oh, right.

I took your seat.

We're family. It doesn't matter where I sit.

But it's a different case in the company.

We brothers haven't seen each other for years.

No need for small talks.

Brothers? Wang Ju'an, are you actually talking about that with me?

Well, let's talk about the money.

I've told you

no one should know about what happened that night.

So, I won't ask much.

As for that night in the club,

it's just a joke between us

that slightly went overboard.

Am I right, Siwei?

She planned to return the card

to you,

but she lost it.

So, go and cancel the card.

And we'll never talk about this again.

Why should I believe her showmanship?

That card is with her.

She just can't let go of the money.

She made this up so that she could get the money without shame.

I don't care whether or not it's her showmanship,

it's no harm if you cancel the card, after all.

I'm rather curious

if she'll touch the money.

Ju'an, Siwei.

What's wrong, Wang Jian?

Don't touch me.

Don't touch me.

What has happened? Did you get hurt?

It has cooled down. Get me another hot pad.

You're burning up.

You're burning up. You need to go to the hospital now.

[Jiahui Health]

It's strange.

You were fine this morning.

How come you get feverish out of a sudden?

I caught a cold.

Caught a cold?

Don't lie to me.

I've done these before.

Do you need Ju'an to do something for you?

No, nothing.

Nothing, don't worry.

It's fine if you don't want to talk about it. But I can tell

that you've forgotten me after Ju'an returned.

No, it's not that.

Siwei, I...

I'll tell you about it later.

It's a long story.

How are you now?

Feeling better?

The fever's gone. Have you drunk water?

You should get him a hot drink.

This is hot, I'm cooling it down a bit.

Here, drink some warm water.

I want this.

What has happened to him?

The lungs look clean,

but the C-reactive protein level is slightly high.

What does that mean?

He can go home after the IV is finished.

Well, you will stay here

for two hours and let's go home.

You go home first.

I'll stay with him.

Why?

He's also my brother.

I'm so tired after staying there all night.

I can't stand this.

Well, call me if anything happens.

I'm going to bed now.

How are you now? Feel better?

I'm not going up. I don't have much time to sleep, anyway.

I have a math quiz today.

You're so hardworking.

But you have a medical certificate for three days off.

No, I want to go to school.

Drop the act.

I'm serious.

This is the final happy moment for me.

Zhong Sheng is going to change her seat next week.

What's the point of going to school

if I can't sit beside her?

What's on your mind, young boy?

Do you go to school to date?

No, I go there to study.

After I sit beside Zhong Sheng,

my result improved a lot.

Yes, a lot.

From last to third from last.

That's my improvement.

It's because I'm sitting beside Zhong Sheng.

But you can't do anything about that.

Zhong Sheng has the right

to change her seat.

I do have an idea.

What's it?

You can let Zhong Sheng's cousin work for Ansheng.

Did Zhong Sheng make this request?

Of course not.

You've seen her attitude on this last time.

But I know her well.

If I really help her,

she won't be cruel to me anymore.

Even if she won't thank me for this,

I still want to help Miss Su Mo.

Because it's unfair to her.

When she was in her previous job, a customer made malicious complaints about her.

She couldn't get employed now.

Malicious complaints?

That's right. Some people act as if they're gods

when they buy something from the store.

The person just made the complaint

for unreasonable reasons.

What a bully.

Hello, welcome to Cabello.

How may I help you?

Sir, do you still remember me?

I've picked suits for you before.

Yes, barely.

You don't serve customers who go to dusty places.

I'm sorry.

It was a misunderstanding.

We have new arrivals now.

Let me choose some for you.

No need.

Today, I'm here to ask

who to make a complaint to

if I'm not happy

with your service last time.

(That mistress)

almost caught by the man's fiancee.

So she vented her anger on Su Mo.

You see, sometimes, people

(really get tough luck.)

Friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives.

The method you said,

I've considered it.

It's worth a try.

What's it?

No wonder your English is so poor.

Do you expect yourself to remember vocabulary when you have a poor memory?

Wang.

Wang, I love you.

Is... Is this a dream?

Don't get elated so early.

I'll make myself clear first.

I agree with this.

But if the cousin

of that smart girl doesn't agree,

what do you plan to do?

I don't believe

the CEO of Ansheng

can't handle Zhong Sheng's cousin.

You can do it, then.

You...

I don't care.

I only know that there's nothing

Wang Ju'an can't achieve.

So, Wang,

time to show your charm.

Hello, who's calling?

Where are you now?

May I know who is talking?

Wang Ju'an.

Where's your manner?

How could you hang up on me like that?

I'm busy.

Why would you be busy when you're jobless?

(Take a cab to the art center right now.)

(I'll pay for the fare.)

(I only have 30 minutes.)

(Sorry, I want to apologize for that night.)

(Correction.)

(It's not for myself,)

(but for Wang Siwei.)

(The statement of that money is gone.)

(I need you here to write me a new one.)

Didn't I give you the statement?

How did you lose it?

No, I've found it.

You fooled me.

You're the CEO.

Don't you have anything better to do?

[Third-Party Employment Contract]

What's this?

Can't you read these Chinese characters?

Concerning your qualification,

you can only sign a third-party employment contract.

But your salary is given based on the market value.

It's not low for other equivalent positions.

I need to leave for a cocktail party over there.

See you at the office.

Why are you so sure I'll accept this?

Why not?

It's been a while since the interview in Ansheng.

You would've found one

if you could.

It's a mutual choice when it comes to employment, I do...

Ansheng has an established system, offers generous benefits,

and we're willing to invest in fostering employees.

It's such a great workplace for self-development,

I can't think of a reason to turn it down.

Besides, I doubt

that the companies you went to for interviews

hire staff

without doing background checks.

Also, I heard that you were dismissed

because of a complaint.

How did you know about that?

Because I've run a background check

before offering you this contract.

In that case, why do you still...

Because of my youngest brother.

Congratulations.

Your smart cousin

and my insensible brother have helped you out.

I don't want to get the job by taking advantage of them.

When you're in the workplace,

you should make good use of anything.

If you ignore such good resources before you,

that makes you look more foolish.

Do you know what's the most pathetic thing in this world?

When your capability can't cope with your ambition.

You can reject Ansheng

as satisfactorily as you want

when you're competent enough, right?

Besides, you claim

that you didn't take the money.

This is the best proof.

[Third-Party Employment Contract]

Mo.

What's the difference between this and the normal employment contract?

To put it simply,

this is a contract with a third-party company.

The person won't be included in the benefits given by Ansheng.

Normally, it's for those with low qualifications.

As in my situation,

I'm considered a high school graduate.

So, this is slightly better than interns.

After all, I have to accept the reality.

The complaints I got from my previous job

is still dirt on my resume.

To remove this ridiculous dirt,

what I should do now

is find a new company

and make it

my previous company.

HR personnel wouldn't look into every company I went to.

Normally,

they only inquired about the latest company.

Meaning to say,

you want to make Ansheng your previous company.

I should at least stay here for two to three years

to show my stability

to other companies.

I can switch jobs after three years.

The timing is all right.

I won't take the money,

but I mustn't give up on this job offer.

He pays for my effort, nothing's wrong with it.

I can accept this offer

without feeling shameful.

You're early.

[Resume]

Hello.

I'm Su Mo, a new hire. I come here for the onboarding process.

How should I address you?

Anna, I'm a senior HR assistant.

Have we met before?

Yes, during the interview.

I'm deeply impressed by you.

Did you forget?

I was scolded by Mr. Wang

for not doing a background check properly.

I'm sorry about that.

I didn't mean to get you involved.

Fill up the form. Use a fountain pen.

Please give me your graduation certificate...

Please give me your certificates in English language, computing skills,

and identification card.

Oh, I need your photo too.

Photo?

You don't have it?

No one mentioned it.

What's wrong with you?

The company requires it.

I can't proceed with the process, then.

I have one in digital form.

What about this?

I'll go outside and print the photo now.

It'll take about an hour.

I don't have much time to wait for you.

Please do me this favor.

Instead of wasting your time here,

you better go home and get it.

I have a meeting in 30 minutes.

I can only help with the process in the afternoon.

Oh, right. Can you explain this to your supervisor yourself?

What's going on, Anna?

Mr. Cao.

She's a third-party staff.

She came here for the onboarding process,

but she forgot to bring her photo.

I can go out

and print it out now.

Well, that's not necessary.

It's your first day here,

and you might not be familiar with the company.

Well,

help... What's your name?

Su Mo.

Proceed with the procedure for her, she'll take the photo here tomorrow.

But...

What?

I'll take the responsibility.

Proceed now.

All right.

This is the director of the HR Department, Mr. Cao.

Thank you, Mr. Cao.

Well, hurry and do it now.

Okay, I'll fill out the form.

All right, go ahead.

And now, we've met again.

Cong, I'll work harder

and never let you down.

We're in the company, and we must be professional.

Yes, Ms. Cong.

The CEO even recruited you personally

when your resume

has already been thrown away.

Impressive, Su.

Well, no need to explain to me.

I know something complicated must've happened.

But I'm not inquisitive.

Since you've come here, adapt yourself here

and do your job well.

You may return to your desk.

It's beside that of my assistant, Lei.

Ask her if you need anything.

Okay.

By the way, I'm worried about one thing.

Now that I work at Ansheng,

what about Kele's tutoring?

Don't worry about that.

I've hired a college student.

Glad to hear that.

People in the company don't know that I was married.

I didn't mean to hide it.

I just don't want to have nonsense labels on me.

So...

Don't worry, Ms. Cong.

I'm not inquisitive either.

I won't tell a soul.

Get back to your work.

Hello, I'm Su Mo...

You're Su Mo, right?

I'm Lei, Ms. Cong's assistant.

[Brand Recruitment Approval Form]

I'm new here, please look out for me.

Skip the chitchat.

These are Brand Recruitment Approval Forms.

The template is in the shared files.

Please hand it to me before you leave today.

Thank you.

Okay.

Excuse me.

Where's the pantry?

Over there.

Thank you.

Lei, take a look at this document.

Is she Su Mo?

Why are you so cold to her?

It's just work. What's wrong?

You should give it a thought

why she could return here

even after she lied on her resume.

Do you know why?

Why?

It's obvious.

Someone high up is backing her up.

Who?

How would I know?

Listen.

She's not simple

as she could change Mr. Wang's mind.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Lei, this is the latest data, right?

Got it.

Okay.

Su Mo, you can put the work aside first.

It's your first day in the company.

I can show you around.

I thought I should hand in

the report today.

I need to work on it first.

You're diligent.

I won't disturb you, then. Keep up the good work.

What?

Why did you come out of my room?

Nothing.

Nothing?

What's in your hand?

You're not using this.

My classmate is having a birthday.

And he likes perfumes.

I happened to find this.

Happened to find this?

You never wear perfumes.

Mind your own business.

I use it for my car.

When you want to prepare a present,

either you choose it carefully or you don't give anything.

Don't just make do with anything random.

Money.

Your monthly allowance is a lot.

Isn't that enough for you?

Get lost.

You promised that you'd study hard.

You can't go to birthday parties.

I'll go.

Giving a free gift as a present?

Why didn't you tell me

you interviewed for the receptionist position at Ansheng Hotel?

I was afraid I might fail.

It'd be silly if that happened.

But everything went in a good way.

We can work together again.

Let's celebrate that I've become part of Ansheng.

Let's bottom up.

No, I can't finish this in one go.

I've seen this milk tea before.

The queue is always long.

But I'm trying this for the first time today.

Is it expensive?

Very much.

That's considered expensive for milk tea.

This is indeed a "Demon City".

The milk tea tastes nothing special.

Still,

it costs 50 yuan for one,

and so many people are after it.

Average white-collar workers like us

can only drink this

occasionally.

I think my life will only be comforting

when I can afford one

whenever I want.

It feels constrained

when I have to

cough up the money

just to buy one.

When can we be free

to have milk tea whenever we want?

We have to roll up our sleeves and work hard.

Yeah, you're right.

We must work harder.

Oh, right.

On my last day at the clothing store,

that tall guy came to see you.

Who?

That one

with a poker face.

He didn't want the free gift,

and you chased after him

to give him the perfume.

What was he doing there?

People are drinking milk tea.

Did you see that?

Introduce different types of food and beverage brands

into each floor.

If we still use the traditional method,

which relies on cinemas and karaokes to attract customers to these stores,

is no longer effective.

True, Mr. Wang.

We're reaching out to e-sports stadiums

and digital experience stores.

I believe we can attract more young customers

very soon.

Regarding the renovation subsidies

for luxury brand stores on the first two floors,

you might need to reconsider it, Mr. Wang.

Give flagship stores an extension on the rent-free period.

The bidding rate in Phase 1

must be up to 90 percent and above.

-Yes. -Yes.

Mr. Wang.

Oh, right.

Mr. Wang.

I'm very grateful to you.

My ex-colleague told me something.

Unlike the CEO of other companies,

you didn't entirely trust

the HR personnel.

Instead, you went to the store to investigate.

I was surprised

and I'm grateful for that.

Don't be. It's nothing.

(Perfume.)

This is the customized perfume of the brand.

It's a free gift for your suit.
