[The Outsider]

[Episode 8]

(Lei.)

Check the group noticeboard, quick.

"Following the decision from company management,

former deputy director of the Business Development Department, Zhao Xiangqing,

has been officially promoted to director of Human Resources."

[Notice on Zhao Xiangqing's personnel appointment] "Former HR vice manager, Zhou Tao,

together with former HR manager, Cao Ruocheng,

were found to have neglected their duties

and took their family and relatives on trips using company funds."

"The matter was verified to be true

and the company has decided

to terminate their employment,

effective immediately."

Even Mr. Cao's second-in-command got fired.

Now, Mr. Zhao would be uncontested

in the HR department.

(They took advantage of my incident to get rid of Cao Ruocheng)

(and put Zhao Xiangqing in his place.)

(Looks like it is indeed a collaboration.)

Who knew Mr. Wang liked Mr. Zhao so much?

He's promoted straight to director.

If I had known,

I would've buttered up Mr. Zhao more.

There you go again.

What are you saying?

I'm not some piece of bread.

Mr... Director Zhao.

The Business Development Department

is closely connected

to the HR Department.

So I hope you'd look out for us

more in the future, sir.

That would depend on your performance.

Make sure you do a good job.

Mr. Zhao.

Ms. Cong.

You congratulated me the last time.

Now, it's my turn

to congratulate you.

Thanks.

How about this?

I'm feeling generous today.

Why don't I treat everyone to Japanese food?

-Yes. -Nice.

I want to see everyone go.

All of you, okay?

Thanks, Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Zhao's promotion was hard-won.

We'll definitely attend the get-together.

(You have to make use of whatever you can)

(when you're in the workplace.)

(Rather than putting your bets on other people's trust,)

(you should rely on yourself to get iron-clad results.)

[Third-Party Employment Contract] (The one who can help you is you.)

The one who can save yourself is also you.

(Acting with a clear purpose)

[Star Media Interview] (fits his personality.)

(Whether right or wrong, he only cares about winning.)

(That's how Wang Ju'an is.)

(It's odd though.)

(Cao Ruocheng is no longer in the picture.)

(So why am I not feeling pleased?)

(But did I manage to save myself this time,)

(or did Mr. Wang save me?)

We've had a good collaboration.

(Mr. Zhao.)

We've tidied up the office.

Let me know if there's anything amiss.

All of the office furniture

can be swapped.

There's no need.

It looks good.

I prefer to be casual.

What's this?

It symbolizes realizing ambitious goals.

Is it glass?

Colored glass.

So it's glass.

Can you remove it?

It's inauspicious.

Glass breaks. No wonder bad stuff happens.

Well...

What is it?

It's too heavy.

I can't do it.

It's okay. Go and get someone else

to help you.

All right?

Sure thing, Mr. Zhao.

What's this?

Chrysanthemum?

It looks like a target.

So inauspicious.

You should be able to carry this, right?

I'll remove it right away.

The Peace Dove represents...

The Peace Dove represents peace.

It's by Picasso.

Looks great.

Is it straight?

Yes, it is, sir.

Mr. Zhao.

Would you like to change the coffee machine?

Yes.

Hold on.

What's the brand?

Leave it there for now.

We shouldn't be wasteful.

Help me disinfect it with alcohol.

Okay, sir.

You really are understated.

I'm excited

to learn a whole lot from you.

By the way, Anna.

There's one thing I'm curious about.

Yes?

The turnover rate of female staff at Ansheng

is quite high.

Do you have any idea why that is?

Well,

the jobs at Ansheng are quite challenging.

Female employees who are married would normally choose

a more laid-back company.

That's normal.

Do you find it tiring too?

Not at all.

It's an honor to work for you.

Listen.

I want you to find out if other companies

see a high turnover rate of female employees too.

Gather all the data you can.

I want to take a look.

Okay, I'll get to it.

Hold on.

Get a copy of the statistics

from the French branch too.

Okay?

Got it, sir.

Please close the door.

Mom.

Guess where your son

is calling you from right now?

I'll bring you for a tour next time.

The view from here is spectacular.

A guy who's barely in his 30s.

Will he be able to manage human resources?

What exactly is Wang Ju'an up to?

He's got everything planned out.

He's systematically clearing the pool.

Ansheng Plaza is...

Ms. Zhang, Mr. Xu.

There's hardly any old guard remaining

in Ansheng Plaza.

And whose fault is that?

Just look at the guards you led.

They're either greedy or lustful.

What happened to Cao and Yu

should serve as a warning.

Losing the greater for the less.

Don't let it happen again.

Don't worry.

You have my word.

Such incidents will not happen again.

By the way,

about Hao Chengyi.

Wang Ju'an plans to assign him

to assist me at Ansheng Hotel.

Didn't I get rid of him?

What's this about assisting you?

Wang Ju'an said

that Hao Chengyi did not commit

any critical mistakes.

Insisting on firing him

might cause a repeat of Yu's outcome.

And I agree with him.

Now that he's under my watch,

I'll be able to control him.

He won't be able to cause any harm.

Fine, let's go with it then.

But make sure you rein him in.

Don't worry about it.

Who's going to replace Hao Chengyi then?

Wang Ju'an did not ask for my opinion.

Looks like he's planning to turn Ansheng Plaza

into his own private domain.

What do we do then?

Should we go directly to...

Reforming Ansheng is our top priority.

We can't afford to provoke him.

Let's just play along for now.

But I want you to keep an eye on his every move.

We must not let him become a runaway stallion.

Don't worry.

I'll get it done.

This is nice.

Try it.

What's the matter?

The fish tastes a bit funny.

The housekeeper learned the recipe from the Internet.

Supposedly, this is how starred hotels cook fish.

She said it makes the fish tender.

If I liked hotel food,

I'd go straight there to eat.

Home-cooked food should taste like home.

Tell her not to bother.

Okay.

I'll tell her,

"No need to mess with the flavors.

When Shang Chun takes a fancy to a certain taste,

he won't change his mind.

Dead set."

Here, a prawn for you as a reward.

Here.

Careful.

Anyway,

anything new

at Ansheng?

New?

Do you remember Su Mo?

Yes.

One time, when she was working overtime,

she was pushed down on the desk and...

Thank goodness someone passed by.

Who knew how she'd end up otherwise?

Who dared to do that?

I heard it's a director from HR.

A man surnamed Cao.

But their boss was reasonable.

He fired the guy immediately

and even reported it to the police.

Served him right.

Did that really happen?

Peel me another one.

Here you go.

No, let me.

When is the military training?

You sure took a long time to check yourself

in the mirror.

The sun almost set waiting for you to fix your bangs.

We're taking graduation photos.

I had to make sure I look good.

Hey, future queen of finance.

Where are you planning to go for the graduation trip?

Where are you guys going?

We are...

That bunch is headed to Japan.

The three of us are going to Europe.

Oh,

there's also Sanya.

Hope you guys have fun.

Same to you.

Zhong Sheng.

It's been a while.

Hi, Wang Jian.

I'll be over there.

I think you're slimmer now.

Really?

Do I look more handsome?

Go, go.

Where are you going for the holiday?

I heard it's Japan?

No.

Wei and I

are planning to go to Mount Mogan.

Hang on.

Mount Mogan?

That's not a spot for a superior queen like you.

Shut up.

Mind your words.

Is it one of those B&Bs popularized by influencers?

No.

We're going camping.

It must be fun.

Like a survival game in the wilderness.

Right?

Guys.

Gather around. Time to take photos.

Ms. Liu has packed your luggage.

I've enabled international roaming on your mobile too.

Foreigners don't use digital wallets.

So I've exchanged British currency for you as well.

Anyway, just focus on your studies in the UK.

Forget everything else.

Since you'd be in an English-speaking environment,

you'd be able to improve your speaking.

Remember. Safety first when you're outside.

Ju'an.

I'm not a three-year-old.

You're worrying too much.

I happen to have a meeting in France at that time.

Why not

we meet up in the UK?

What are you doing?

What do you mean?

I'm not some kindergartner on spring break.

Don't embarrass me, will you?

You're not going to Kunshan,

but the UK.

You'll be away for a long time.

How can I not worry?

Come on.

You're always talking about teamwork, no?

So can you be a good team member?

Besides, when I'm overseas

and I come across troubles

like theft and harassment,

I'll just give away all my belongings

and keep just my underwear.

I know that much at least.

Stop talking.

Just eat.

I get more anxious the more you talk.

Just stay safe.

Yeah, sure.

Keep safe.

Mo.

I heard the bonfire camp there is awesome.

Are you really not coming along?

You future college students

should get close to nature and have a good time.

As for office workers like us,

we should just quietly do our jobs in front of monitors.

Mo.

Hearing your self-deprecation

and accepting your flaws

makes me glad.

Thinking back to that time when you...

When you broke up with that Tong guy,

I was so worried you wouldn't be able to get past it.

When I got up to use the loo at night,

I made sure to check on you.

So long as I forgive myself,

there is nothing that can't be overcome.

As for you, just go have fun.

Enjoy your time away.

Well then, I'll leave the trivialities at home to you.

Okay.

Wang Jian.

Studying is tough.

Make sure you get enough rest.

Okay.

Don't play with the phone so much.

Don't stay up too late.

Okay.

Is this it?

Mr. Zhang, I can handle it from here.

You can go now.

No.

Mr. Wang reminded me

to see you to the gate.

Listen.

Mr. Zhang.

I'm going on a school tour.

Having an elder fussing over me

is embarrassing for me.

Don't you agree?

Wang Jian, I have to...

Mr. Zhang.

I'm going to college.

I have to learn to take care of myself.

Don't worry.

I'll call you

as soon as I arrive.

Okay.

You take care.

I'll go now.

Hello?

Send me Zhong Sheng's location right away.

Quickly.

Come on.

Let's lay out all the fruits.

Okay.

We'll wash them

at the stream nearby.

Look, I've brought apples.

I heard the water here

is not only clean

but also full of minerals.

We can use it to cook self-heating hotpots.

Let's lay them out.

Isn't that Wang Jian?

Wang Jian is here?

Didn't you leave for London?

Why would I leave the beautiful nature of my motherland

for London?

Don't you think?

Way to go on that excuse.

Shakespeare Wang.

You can say the sky is green and I'd believe it.

Got to hand it to you.

You chased her all the way here.

Stop with the nonsense, you two.

No need to brag.

Tell me honestly. What happened?

You guys explain and sort it out.

We're going to wash the fruits

and prepare the self-heating hotpot.

Just leave them here.

With Wang Jian here,

the ladies should rest.

There's a stream there.

The water is nice and clean.

Go wash there.

Got it. Off I go.

I'll be back soon.

No way.

Wang Jian came to be our errand boy?

Zhong Sheng, if I were you,

I'd have raised the white flag long ago.

Enough jeering.

Let's get everything ready.

Here, cheers.

Congrats on graduating.

Happy graduation!

Why aren't the lamb skewers ready?

Later, we'll heat up the hotpot.

Okay.

This is so sweet.

Try this one.

Is there enough?

Here.

Have some cucumber.

Pretty good.

It's ready.

Try the lamb skewers.

Wang Jian, this looks so professional.

Where did you learn it from?

Not bad.

It looks as good as the lamb skewers

sold at the shop downstairs.

This is nothing.

There's nothing I can't do.

A piece of cake.

-Get me another. -Here.

Not bad.

Have another.

[Arrived] [Shanghai Pudong Airport to Heathrow Airport]

I brought this breath freshener.

You guys can use it

after eating.

[Wang Jian]

Hello, Ju'an.

Why did you switch it to a voice call?

I just arrived.

You know what?

A long-haul flight is exhausting.

Hold on a minute.

Excuse me.

Could you tell me the way to the restroom, please?

I told you to practice speaking more.

Listen to your English.

Why didn't you call when you arrived?

We ran out of chicken wings.

Wang Jian, can you grill more wings?

I want mine with chili.

You brat. Where are you?

Hello?

Hello? Speak up.

Su Mo, where are you?

Get in the car.

Hurry up.

Where are we going?

Where did Zhong Sheng go for her vacation?

Mount Mogan.

Where in Mount Mogan?

Why are you asking where my sister is?

That dumb brother of mine is supposed to be in London,

but just now in the call,

I heard Zhong Sheng's voice.

So did your sister go to London

or did your brother-in-law go to Mount Mogan?

Wang Jian went to see Zhong Sheng?

This is serious. Get in the car!

Xingkong Camp.

Step on it!

Great dancing.

I'm going to make a self-heating hotpot too.

Okay, I'll go with you.

Let's go.

I think you should go back.

Even if you're rich,

you can't waste money like this.

No way.

I'm not going back today.

He's too controlling.

I need my freedom.

Today, I'll free myself from his grasp.

That I assure you.

(Sorry.)

(The number you've dialed cannot be reached.)

(Please try again later.)

Is the signal bad in the mountains?

Why won't the call go through?

The brat's line was working just fine.

So why isn't

your cousin's phone working?

Could those two be...

Sheng better not fall for his tricks.

Hang on a minute.

What did you say?

"Tricks"?

That's a little preemptive, no?

Don't you "humph" me.

The whole world knows

that Wang Jian is infatuated with Zhong Sheng.

Su, please get something clear.

Firstly,

even if Wang Jian is infatuated with Zhong Sheng,

he won't do anything by force.

He has basic knowledge of the law.

Secondly,

even if you don't trust my brother,

you should trust your cousin.

Right?

Mr. Wang.

If you truly think so,

then why are we hurrying over?

To wake that brat, Wang Jian, up.

Of course.

It'd be better if nothing happened.

I'm sure that's what you hope for too.

Fine.

Since we're on the same page,

then let's get it done.

Why are you still up?

I can't sleep.

There are too many mosquitoes.

I'm itching all over.

Did you think this was your house?

We're away from home.

You should learn to go with the flow.

But it does seem like you're getting bitten badly.

It really itches.

I guess mosquitoes do pick and choose.

Keep it.

You don't need it?

We don't have much else at home,

except for medicated oil.

I see.

Selling scallion pancakes is your family's main business.

And selling medicated oil is your secondary business.

Am I right?

You think our family is Ansheng Group?

Opening subsidiaries left, right, and center?

Zhong Sheng.

Will selling scallion pancakes

at a different location

affect the business negatively?

That's pretty much the case.

Right now,

I just hope my dad

would be able to find a better spot

in the city.

So at the moment,

your family is living off the rent from the two settlement houses

in the suburb?

Not entirely.

My mom has her pension.

We can still get by.

But

the rental prices in the suburb are...

Yeah.

It must be tough.

When there's a will,

there's a way.

At worst, I'll just find another home tutoring job.

Don't move!

What is it?

Don't touch it before you know what it is.

It is swollen?

That's a huge bump.

This is no good. I'll have to

apply something on it.

Careful.

Hang on.

I can't find the iodine solution.

What's this bad luck?

The male lead in trendy dramas would be

in a dilapidated temple

with the female lead, and they'd play out a poignant love story.

But when it comes to me,

the love story turns into a tragic story.

Come on, that's because it's a trendy drama.

You don't even know what bit me.

As if you know what to do.

I should've taken a photo

when it bit you.

I'd know what to do

if I knew what it was.

This is an alcohol swab.

Alcohol should be fine, to disinfect it.

No, stop.

Don't touch me.

Let's disinfect it.

It might get worse if you don't disinfect it.

Be gentle.

Okay...

This should be the place.

All the tents are unlit.

Are they asleep?

That tent over there is still lit up.

Could that be Wang Jian?

Could that be Zhong Sheng?

That brat is...

He's unbelievable.

What?

What are you doing?

Don't be a joke.

Then what?

We'll leave.

We're leaving just like this?

(If not?)

(What are you going to say if you confront them?)

(It's just going to make things awkward.)

There's no point.

Do it slowly.

Slowly.

Gosh.

But...

Will Sheng know how to protect herself?

What if something happens?

We haven't figured out the situation.

If we cause a scene in front of the others...

Imagine the misunderstanding and embarrassment.

(But we can't just let them do the wrong thing.)

(Simple. We'll summon them.)

(No matter the method,)

(it's better than recklessly confronting them.)

(Wang gave me a warning.)

(Is he really going to cut me off financially?)

(Mo also sent me a text,)

asking me to go back.

What is it? Is it urgent?

I'm not sure.

Whatever it is, I'll go back first.

Are you hungry?

I'll go get some food.

You go ahead. I don't feel like eating.

Drink something hot if you won't eat anything.

Your body needs fuel.

Thanks.

Will Wang Jian and Zhong Sheng...

They're both grown-ups.

We'll deal with it after we talk to them.

I've told Wang Jian to hurry back.

I can't indulge him like this.

As for Zhong Sheng...

You deal with her.

Okay.

I'm going to rest.

Are we not going back?

It's the middle of the night.

It's a few hundred kilometers to and fro.

I can't drive if I'm tired.

That's being irresponsible toward my passenger.

Okay.

The air in the mountain sure is different

from the city.

Who would've thought my first visit to Mount Mogan

would be like this?

(Looks like he's really tired.)

(He has such long eyelashes.)

(And a sharp nose.)

(He's quite good-looking.)

(Too bad he's usually uptight.)

(What a waste of his good looks.)

What are you doing?

Chasing away the mosquitoes.

Where are the mosquitoes?

They're gone.

Gone?

Is that the pose of someone chasing away mosquitoes?

That's really what I was doing.

A mosquito landed on your nose.

Don't get the wrong idea.

I didn't.

You make it sound like it's my fault.

So should I cover up

my handsome face while I sleep?

Crazy guy.

There really were mosquitoes.

Stop laughing.

Shut the window.

(Gosh, those mosquitoes were deadly.)

Where do you live?

I'll send you back,

then I'll go straight to the office.

I don't think I'll have time to go home either.

Shouldn't we have made a right turn here?

Aren't we going to the office?

First, get some food in the tummy.

I'm fine.

I have snacks stored in my drawer.

Do you need a quick meal or coffee?

I've suffered a long night because of that brat.

My tummy deserves a good meal.

Good meal?

(Is this the kind of breakfast pancake you were looking for?)

[Classic Shanghai egg pancake] (Sweet bean sauce is a kind of spicy sauce.)

(Guys.)

(Sweet bean sauce!)

(It totally takes you back to your childhood.)

(Yes, that's it.)

(How did you find it?)

(I saw it on Moments.)

(Thanks.)

(You're welcome.)

[Typing...]

(This shop)

(only opens from Mondays to Fridays.)

(If you go...)

(Why am I writing so much?)

(He could have someone find him the info.)

What's this?

Typing...

Why isn't she sending what she wrote?

Mr. Wang.

What...

I meant to say,

Wang Jian came back and admitted he went to Mount Mogan.

But he said it's unrelated to Zhong Sheng.

So I pretended to be oblivious.

I think you should do the same.

You wouldn't want your cousin to be embarrassed

if she knew.

I didn't tell her anything.

That's good then.

Is there...

anything else?

No.

Same here.

Good night.

Oh, right.

Good night.

Good night.

Typing...

What exactly was she typing?

Why wouldn't she tell me?

I've read the email.

It's fine.

Got it. I'll book the meeting room.

This newbie disappeared

halfway through editing.

It clearly stated "Typing" just now.

What does that mean?

It's either

that they were deliberating what to send

and stopped halfway,

or something came up and they forgot.

Anyway, I'm ignored completely.

That's unlikely.

An executive is asking questions.

Who would dare ignore you?

That's why certain phone functions

are designed without consideration.

It entices you

and leaves you hanging.

Right?

Okay, that's enough.

Mr. Wang.

I've never met anyone more problematic.

What on earth?

Looks like he's butt heads with Mr. Hao again.

Hao Chengyi?

I shouldn't have gone to Mount Mogan.

What happened there?

You can tell me.

Fret not.

How can I not fret?

I dare not go there again.

Look at that huge bump.

It itches and hurts.

I can't stand it.

It's quite a big bump,

but it's not inflamed.

I've applied some ointment on it.

If it doesn't get better tomorrow,

we'll go to the hospital.

It's driving me crazy already.

There, there. Stop scratching.

So,

did anything else happen on Mount Mogan

aside from the bug bite?

Mo.

Are you trying to get something out of me?

You must have known about Wang Jian

going to Mount Mogan.

He thought he managed to fool everyone.

But he totally failed, huh?

Wang Jian is quite smitten with you.

So what do you think?

Mo, I'm sure you know me.

Right now, my studies come first.

I'm not ready to date someone yet.

Then why did you...

What?

It's nothing.

Zhong Sheng.

You've always been mature for your age.

I believe you know how to protect yourself.

Right?

Don't worry, Mo.

Did you forget I know Taekwondo?

I can protect myself.

Don't worry.

That's good.

There, there. Stop scratching.

Let me blow on it.

You?

Yes.

Me.

You're already the director of the Business Development Department.

Joining the Marketing Department is considered a lateral transfer.

The salaries would be about the same.

You should know that, right?

Of course I do.

But since the PR Department was merged with the Marketing Department,

the size of the department has doubled.

I've always been a people person.

In university, I majored in marketing.

Actually, I first joined the Business Development Department

because of the time flexibility.

The Marketing Department has more resources

and activities.

Honestly speaking,

after being in the Business Development Department for so long,

I've reached a career plateau.

You'll face some difficulties at the start,

and people will question you.

I've always enjoyed challenges.

I don't want to be stuck in my comfort zone.

I appreciate your reasoning.

Mr. Wang.

Did you hear about Cong Rong?

You mean about her joining the Marketing Department?

Everyone's heard.

What's your plan?

I'm definitely staying.

She plans to take along an assistant.

It won't be me.

In terms of seniority,

I'm the youngest here.

In terms of seniority?

Do you think we're living in ancient times?

We're not a Japanese enterprise.

Never mind if you don't want to go.

If you do, then you should fight for the chance.

Quick, you have to try this.

Their beef noodles

taste the best when freshly made.

Jessica.

You came here before?

Why?

Can't white-collar workers like us

come to eat at high-end restaurants?

Who did you come with? When?

You're so nosy. Eat your noodles.

I heard Ms. Cong is joining the Marketing Department.

And she'll take along an assistant.

Better the devil you know than the devil you don't know.

Rather than trying to cozy up to just anyone in the Marketing Department,

it's better to latch onto someone

you already know.

That's a given.

What?

Is she taking you?

Well, it's not certain yet.

However,

I heard that it's normal for the Marketing Department

to work overtime and even on

long weekends

and holidays.

When the whole nation is enjoying the holidays,

that's when they're the busiest.

Save it.

Keep your little tricks to yourself.

Trying to turn me off with long hours and extra work

so you could sit back and relax?

Talking about this opportunity,

I did think you'd be the best candidate.

But it would mean less time with your family.

So it's not worth it.

Family time, huh?

Do I really lack family time?

What I lack is time for myself.

What's a weekend?

A weekend is when I leave my child at the early education center

and find a quiet place to unwind.

That'd be so wonderful.

Once my child starts primary school,

I won't get such freedom anymore.

So you can rest assured.

I chose to join the Business Development Department back then

because I could work outside of the office.

It's convenient to fetch my kid.

That's the reason.

Sure.

We all know

that our dear Jessica

is always level-headed.

Enough about that.

I get annoyed at the thought.

What came over me back then?

I got married without much thought.

Now, I'm in for the long haul.

You can't see how lucky you are.

It's the beauty of family.

Su Mo.

During festivities and long holidays,

you also go back home

to spend time with your parents, right?

Sometimes, I really think

it's hard for drifters like you in Shanghai.

Hardships can be overcome.

I think, even if you're not anxious to go home,

your parents would urge you to.

Whichever one of us gets to join the Marketing Department

will treat the other to a cup of milk tea.

What do you say?

All right.

Everyone present gets a share.

Let's have a cup each.

Sounds good.

Never mind that.

Let's eat first.

Try this. It's very good.

The noodles got cold.

Here.

Ms. Cong, please sign this.

Thanks, ma'am.

What is it?

It's nothing.

I just think

your styling today

is simple yet elegant.

I'm taking notes.

Thank you.

Everyone's talking about

your great complexion too.

It's like what you see on TV,

skin like a baby's.

Good enough to shoot a commercial.

Talking about commercials,

I remember you looking at this brand's ad

in a magazine for quite a while.

While shopping the other day,

I saw that they released this limited edition.

I thought it'd fit your aura perfectly.

Take it back.

It's not anything too expensive.

Besides,

compared to what I've managed to learn from you,

it's worth nothing.

I'm just hoping

I could continue to learn from you.

So that I can also

become a woman like you, Ms. Cong.

The report you asked for this morning

to be done before the weekend,

I can submit it today.

I'll get back to it.

Excuse me.

Everyone must have already heard.

Starting next month,

I'll be transferred to the Marketing Department as the director.

Congrats, Ms. Cong.

However,

it doesn't mean I'll only be completing the handover

for the rest of this month.

This brand will be my last project

in the Business Development Department.

Topney?

Yes.

Whether or not it will be a success

will depend on your ideas and efforts.
