[The Outsider]

[Episode 10]

It was you, wasn't it?

What?

Quit pretending.

You made Cao Ruocheng

leak the salary info, didn't you?

Never mind your beef with Wang Ju'an.

But you're up against the whole of Ansheng right now.

If I don't shake things up a little at Ansheng,

how can I threaten Wang Ju'an's position?

Threaten him?

I'm the one being threatened right now.

Everyone thinks I'm the culprit.

I'm in trouble because of you.

You're overthinking it.

What do I get

out of destroying you?

That's why you're trouble.

Resorting to such cheap tactics.

Sooner or later, people will know.

Who said you could talk to me like that?

Are you any better?

You're reprimanding me?

I...

I'm just concerned for you, Chun.

Wang Ju'an has gone to the police.

So what?

What does it have to do with me?

Cao Ruocheng already admitted he did it.

If he snitches on you,

then what?

Cao Ruocheng came clean?

Yes.

That degenerate.

Fine, you stay out of it.

I'll handle it.

All you have to do is to keep your mouth shut.

You're hitting from the wrong place.

The power comes from your back and legs.

Not your hands.

From here?

Yes, that's right.

Come on, give it a go.

I'm tired.

One more hit.

Come on, look there.

Hit toward there.

Here?

Yes.

Okay, try it.

Bend your knees more.

Got it.

Good.

It's gone in the water again.

I'm done.

It's no fun at all.

What kind of game is this?

You did well.

Practice more.

I'm done with it.

I'm so tired.

I can't walk anymore.

That was pretty good.

Why drop the club?

Mr. Wang.

What a coincidence.

Qing.

Let me talk to him.

You go practice on your own.

Okay.

Miss Mo, right?

We finally meet.

You know me?

It's easy

to find out what I wish to know.

Go on.

You already took her out in the open.

Why bother stepping away?

She's physically weak.

I worry she won't be able to withstand your aggression.

Judging from your outfit,

you're not here to play, are you?

Don't tell me you're here to pick a fight.

Seeing how much fun you guys were having,

Cao Ruocheng's incident is probably settled.

Cao Ruocheng?

Do I know him?

As an old friend,

I urge you...

Don't talk like we're close.

Old friends?

I rather you talk about the twin towers.

Still hung up on that, huh?

You hate me for it.

So you're out to get me the moment I come back.

You know what?

You're as self-righteous as ever.

Now, the whole Jiake belongs to me.

As for you?

You're just holding the title of CEO at Ansheng,

merely cannon fodder for Zhang Yanan.

Out to get you?

Why should I bother?

So when's the wedding?

Be it Hong Kong, China or Shanghai,

I'll make sure to give you a wedding gift.

As long as things are well with Ansheng,

you and Ai Lin's wedding will go on without a hitch.

We are adults.

Let's ditch the childish games,

okay?

Did you think the CEO of the Lam Group

is dumber than you?

Qing.

Come here.

Let me introduce you formally.

This

is Wang Ju'an of Ansheng,

its CEO.

And this is Mo Weiqing.

Mr. Wang.

Nice to meet you.

Shang Chun.

You're a smart person.

Don't do anything stupid.

What's the matter with him?

I tried to shake his hand

and he totally ignored me.

Where are his manners?

Some CEO he is.

Never mind him.

His ego probably got hurt.

None of them could hold their liquor.

I'm the king of drinking.

You're the one in charge

of the twin towers project, right?

That's right.

I didn't expect

my old man

to suddenly jumped ship

and left everything to me.

I'm guessing it's because your dad provoked him.

That's why he stepped down.

Are you jealous of me?

Indeed.

I'm so jealous.

Watch it.

Who knows when I'd be able

to stand on my own two feet?

Don't worry.

I'll look out for you.

No matter how bad things are with your dad

and my old man,

we will always be the best of friends.

The best buddies.

My buddy.

My buddy.

But I must remind you one thing.

What is it?

Shuangxin Woodworking is one of your suppliers, right?

That's right.

The flooring and wooden doors at home

were made by them.

Why?

Something is off with them.

Our company is having an open tender for a project.

The prices quoted to us are half of the usual.

I thought it was odd,

so I looked into it.

The formaldehyde in their flooring exceeded the legal limit.

That's probably because they thought you guys were an easy target,

so they quoted you with sub-par products.

They wouldn't dare do that to us.

As if.

Just be more aware.

Don't get scammed.

Scammed?

Who dares to scam me?

Only if they no longer wish to stay in this business.

A death wish.

Dad, we...

(Following the report)

(that the formaldehyde in flooring used by Jiake Group)

(exceeded the country's permissible exposure limit)

(by 3.5 times,)

(proprietors are demanding refunds.)

(Jiake's stocks are plummeting,)

(causing panic selling.)

This time, Jiake is squirming

beneath Ansheng.

Ju'an.

Did you leak the information?

(As of 2 PM,)

(the stock price fell to its lowest.)

(We have tried to get in touch by phone numerous times)

(to no avail.)

(We hope that Jiake would come forward)

[Jiake flooring exceeds formaldehyde PEL,] (with a response)

[stock price hits bottom] (soonest possible.)

(Likewise, proprietors should remain rational.)

(Now,)

(let's move on to another piece of news.)

You're still drinking?

I looked everywhere for you.

You're finally here.

Come, sit.

This is major.

Shuangxin Woodworking's goods were indeed sub-par.

The orders made by the Procurement Department were all faked.

They were given commissions.

To my surprise,

despite only learning about it last month,

word already got out.

Last month?

If you already knew,

why did you allow the proprietors to move in?

I didn't expect things to be this bad.

Besides, it was almost time to hand over the project.

If I had postponed it, I'd be the butt of their jokes.

Imagine screwing up your first project.

No one would take me seriously again.

Is your pride more important than human lives, my buddy?

I got you here to help give me ideas.

Not to preach.

But you're in the wrong.

What goes around comes around.

If you hadn't gone ahead with it,

things wouldn't have been this bad.

Well, I didn't know.

And I didn't take any commission.

But those reporters are only looking at me.

You're the person in charge.

Who else should they look for if not you?

This is no time to shirk responsibility.

You need to find a solution.

Wang Ju'an.

Whose side are you actually on?

Are you the one who leaked the info?

What are you saying?

I get it now.

You saw that I was put in charge of real estate,

while at Ansheng,

you don't even have the chance to be an assistant.

You got jealous of me.

You set Jiake up

to please your father.

So you betrayed me, didn't you?

You're drunk. Stop drinking.

I'm not drunk.

So much for treating you like a buddy.

Wang Ju'an.

Heed my words.

I won't let you have your way.

You can steal all the credit

and try to please your dad.

But your dad will not spare even an ounce of affection for your brother

for you.

You're nothing more

than the pitiful worm both your parents detest.

Shang Chun.

Are you thinking straight?

Exposing the matter to the press

is not wrong.

Rather than trying to correct your mistake,

you've gone off a tangent.

So you admit it.

Fine.

Let's wait and see.

I didn't know you and Shang Chun

had a bad history.

Anyhow, who was the mysterious

whistleblower?

If I knew who it was,

they would no longer be mysterious.

True.

No matter who it was,

all the proprietors

should thank the whistleblower.

You think so?

One more thing, sir.

What you said to Shang Chun just now,

did you mean that if he tried to harm Ansheng,

you'd expose his affair

to his fiancee?

Do you think I'd do that?

Everyone close to Shang Chun

knows about Miss Mo.

How could his fiancee not know?

So she's pretending

not to know.

So long as it doesn't affect the company negatively,

the other woman poses

no threat to her.

So if we wish to attack Shang Chun,

we'd need to blow the matter of his affair up.

So big that he can't ignore it.

That would be Mr. Wang Jr.'s style,

not mine.

Impressive.

(Dramas nowadays are getting worse.)

How about we go for a walk?

No.

Too much work.

Hey, look.

Doesn't he look

like that...

That...

Wang Ju'an?

Yes, that's right.

Doesn't he?

He looks cold and aloof.

Totally unapproachable.

But people say

he's the typical tall, handsome, and rich man.

A catch.

I'd agree he's tall.

But handsome? Not really my type.

Moreover, the way he talks

always so...

So...

"We finally meet, Miss Mo."

What on earth?

So dramatic.

I love the way you talk.

Okay, let me boil some water.

Tell me when it's ready.

Okay.

Hello?

What's up?

Qing.

Are you by yourself?

Go on.

You know your brother is getting married.

I gave him the money for the betrothal gift.

Of course I know.

But his house...

Didn't he buy a house?

Yes, he did.

But the girl said

she doesn't want a loan.

It has to be paid in full.

I paid in full

for a two-bedroom, one-living-room house.

He was the one who insisted

on buying a four-bedroom, three-common-areas, double volume unit.

Well, the reason he wanted a big house

is so that in the future,

he can live with your dad and me.

He's a good son.

Good son?

Then ask your filial son to pay for it.

It's not that he doesn't want to.

It's the girl's request.

We can't cancel the wedding, right?

Your brother is already old enough.

If he doesn't get married soon,

we'll have to wait longer to have grandkids.

You want grandkids?

I have an idea.

Go and sell your old house.

So he can pay the loan.

Then you can move in with him.

Very soon, you'll have your grandkids.

Qing.

Your dad and I are old.

Are you telling us to be homeless?

How cruel of you.

You're calling me cruel?

Qing.

Come.

Okay.

Listen.

This isn't my problem.

You figure it out.

Qing.

What's up?

You called us and sounded so upset.

Su Mo and I didn't even get to eat lunch.

What's the matter?

Suicide.

Suicide?

Didn't you say that desserts are like poison

for a woman?

That's why I'm killing myself slowly.

You'll get diabetes from eating so much.

Tell us,

what's happened?

We'll try and help you.

If we can't,

at least you could get it off your chest.

It's better than letting it simmer away.

What's happened?

My mother asked me for money again.

How much?

I already gave her all my savings.

Why did you do that?

You said

that was going to be the final time.

It's because we had an agreement.

So long as they pay for me to finish my tertiary studies,

I'd pay for my brother's wedding expenses.

They really got their investment's worth.

The rate of return is a dozen times over.

My brother is getting married next month.

I gave them the money.

My debt has finally been paid.

From now on,

they're not getting any money from me.

The problem now is, your money is all gone.

What are you going to do?

You have Shang Chun, no?

Are you two thinking

that Shang Chun's my sugar daddy?

My daily expenses

are paid for with the money I earn from the book bar.

All he does is take me out to eat,

shop, and buy me gifts.

But it's true that he gave me the capital

to open my book bar.

So my plan is,

after we break up,

I'll give him back the book bar.

With my own little savings,

I'll open my own shop and earn my living.

But look at me now.

My savings are all gone.

All taken.

Are you breaking up with Shang Chun?

Yes.

He's getting married.

Of course we have to break up.

I can't possibly become a mistress.

Don't tell me...

Let me make myself clear.

I'm not the mistress.

That Ai Lin is the mistress.

I met Shang Chun first.

Then why did you pretend to be

Shang Chun's assistant when we met the first time?

That was a special case.

It was because of you, ma'am.

Okay, stop.

Enough of that.

Back to the point.

You've given all your money to your brother.

If you do break up with Shang Chun,

what will you do?

I've thought about that.

I thought perhaps I could keep the book bar

for myself.

But it's not quite appropriate.

If we break up,

we should have clear boundaries.

I don't know.

Ask no more.

Mr. Wang.

I'm here.

Why are you huffing and puffing?

You didn't have to rush to eat egg pancakes.

Egg pancakes?

That's right.

What did you think it was?

The voice message I received from you

was a bunch of murmurs.

I only heard "Cao Ruocheng".

And then I got your location.

I thought he was up to something again,

so I came running here.

Maybe the Bluetooth in the car

had a signal disruption.

[Classic Shanghai Egg Pancake] You're the one who gave me this address.

Did you forget?

I was in a hurry,

so I didn't notice it.

But what has the pancake got to do with Cao Ruocheng?

You helped us find Cao Ruocheng,

so this is my thanks.

I'm buying you pancakes.

I see.

I'm not just treating you.

I also called Zhao Xiangqing.

But he said he wanted to sleep in,

so he turned me down.

Maybe because

he's always lived in Shanghai.

So he doesn't find egg pancakes any special.

If you're not excited to eat pancakes,

you're no Shanghainese.

I didn't expect you to be so serious

about Shanghai snacks.

I thought only kids who grew up in alleyways

would know about these.

Although I did not grow up in an alley,

my dad did.

I guess I was influenced by him.

So there's a history.

My dad was always busy.

He didn't have much time to spend with us.

But whenever we spoke of Shanghai snacks,

his eyes would light up.

So when my parents were away,

I'd ask Mr. Zhang to take me out to eat.

We'd scour the streets

for famous snack stalls.

It was fun and the foods were great.

So that's the story.

Excuse me.

Could you let me buy it first?

I'm on the way to see my mother in the hospital.

She doesn't want anything else but egg pancakes

for breakfast.

And I still have to get to work.

There's no time.

-Okay. -Thank you.

Sir, one egg pancake.

What a nice guy you are.

It's no wonder you got yourself such a pretty girlfriend.

Okay.

Sir, two egg pancakes.

I'm out of pancakes.

Sold out?

There's no more batter.

We were in line for a long time.

Yes.

Why don't you buy something else?

If you want pancakes,

come earlier tomorrow.

We have to work tomorrow.

But there's nothing I can do now.

How about one?

Just one.

Young lady.

It's not that hard to understand.

We can't make pancakes without the batter.

Okay, thanks.

Come back tomorrow.

Okay.

We can eat something else today.

We'll come again next weekend.

We?

I said I'd buy you pancakes.

I'll get it done.

Okay.

It's a deal then.

We'll come back next week.

That's right.

Come on.

Let's go find some food.

What's the matter?

Aren't you

supposed to be running the stall?

That god-forsaken Ansheng Group.

What did I do to them to deserve this?

What's happened?

Your dad...

Your dad's arm

is as good as crippled.

Before this, he could make at least 200 pancakes a day.

He didn't want us to know,

so he held it in.

Until he couldn't anymore.

He can't make as many pancakes now.

He only made 50 today.

The buyer...

The buyer decided to cancel the order.

Is that true, Dad?

Right now, my arm...

I can't exert power with it.

There was an order today.

I only finished it two hours later.

So the person said...

They'd give me a bad review online.

Zhong Sheng!

Put the beer over there.

Set the cutlery.

Siwei!

Are the charcoals you bought

fake too?

There's so much smoke.

It's billed under company expenditure.

We should save where we can.

I say you're a total corrupt.

This is on you.

Sure.

Siwei.

It's rare

for the three of us to do a barbecue.

Couldn't you have gotten better charcoals?

I don't run a charcoal factory.

It's fine as it is.

Fine, I'll go get a nice bottle of wine.

One from my collection.

Make sure it's bought with your own money.

Got it.

Ju'an.

Help me grill a kidney.

You think this is a barbecue stand?

Kidney?

No such thing.

Hello, ma'am.

I came to see Wang Siwei.

I am Wang Jian's friend. My name is Zhong Sheng.

Wang Jian's friend?

He's in the courtyard. Come in.

Thanks, ma'am.

You're welcome.

Zhong Sheng.

What are you doing here?

It's Zhong Sheng.

I came to see Wang Siwei.

Why do you want to see my brother?

My dad can no longer make pancakes.

It's his fault.

Mr. Zhong's hand hasn't healed?

Not only did it not heal, it got worse.

My dad's hand shakes just holding a glass of water.

My dad's entire life,

he's most proud of his artisanal skills.

Where is Wang Siwei?

He's not here.

Then pass a message for me.

If my dad's hand is crippled,

I will...

cripple him!

I'm back.

I found a nice bottle of wine. Let's have a good drink.

Forget drinking!

This is no time for drinking!

What's the matter?

What do you think?

What did I do this time?

Why hasn't her dad's arm healed?

Whose dad?

Zhong Sheng's dad.

Isn't Zhong Sheng's dad's injury all sorted out?

Zhong Sheng came to see you?

To ask for medical fees?

You think money is the solution here?

If Zhong Sheng's dad's hand is crippled,

she'll ignore me forever.

If she ignores you

just because of her dad's injury,

then I say you're better off without her.

You're about to become an actor.

There will be plenty of pretty girls.

I don't want just any pretty girl.

I want Zhong Sheng.

What now?

Are you going to have a fallout with me because of this?

Her dad's injury is not my fault.

If not yours, then whose?

Whatever it is, you're responsible.

Now is not the time to talk about this.

Then when's a good time?

You wait.

Listen up, you. I'm your biological brother.

Ever since young, I've always helped you.

I helped you write all those applications for leave.

Now you're blaming me?

That was to do you a favor.

You wanted to woo that trivial celebrity.

Yeah, I wanted to woo that trivial celebrity. So?

We broke up in the end. Was I devastated?

Did I wallow like you are right now?

Man up, will you?

So you've been teaching Wang Jian all the bad stuff.

No wonder his studies are terrible.

Don't bring my studies into this.

Then what?

You think you're so great?

What did you make me do when I was young?

What did I make you do?

I was barely taller than the sword,

but you made me learn fencing.

You made me learn climbing.

I was so scared I peed in my pants for a month!

It was to build up your physique.

You were skinny like a chick.

And you were so timid.

Build me up? You call that building me up?

The only thing you built up was trauma from my childhood.

Enough!

We're talking about Zhong Sheng right now.

How are you going to resolve this?

Listen up.

I didn't cause Zhong Sheng's dad's injury.

Ask your eldest brother to figure it out.

Ju'an.

I'll find him the best physiotherapist.

It'll get better.

[Legal Advisory Service Center] What you've provided

are the victim's medical record

and photos taken at the construction site.

But these materials

are not enough to prove any direct causal relationship

between the injury and construction.

I think the information is lacking.

It will be difficult.

Hang on. I just explained the whole thing to you.

Did you think we were joking?

Not at all, ma'am.

It's true. They showed up

without any warning and started demolishing.

The whole building shook.

The walls were crumbling too.

He only fell because we were so afraid.

I'm not lying to you.

Aunt, calm down.

Mr. Zhou is not questioning us.

He just needs more evidence.

Were you there that day?

I wasn't.

It was only my uncle, aunt,

and the construction workers.

Are you able to contact the workers?

It's been months.

I doubt we could track them down.

So it happened a while back.

Why are you seeking compensation only now?

At the time, we didn't think

my uncle's injury would be this serious.

We thought it would heal after a few days.

But till now, he's unable to exert power with it.

And that's affected his business.

That's why my aunt thought of seeking compensation.

Ma'am, here's the thing.

From my experience, there are two main points.

First of all,

it happened too long ago.

Obtaining evidence will be very difficult.

Secondly,

litigation against a real estate company,

in my experience,

usually takes up a huge amount of time and energy.

Besides, you said it yourself.

Your husband only injured his wrist.

So even if we win the case,

the compensation will be negligible.

Personally, I think the loss outweighs the gain.

So my advice is

not to go ahead with the lawsuit.

It's okay.

Take your time to think about it.

You can call me if anything.

Okay, thank you.

You're welcome.

Take care. Goodbye.

Bye.

If I had known, I would've saved myself the trouble.

But that attorney seemed overly young.

Can he be trusted?

Mr. Zhou!

There you are.

Mr. Zhou.

You're my great savior.

I mean,

if it weren't for you,

my parents' lifelong effort

would've been snatched away.

Please accept my bow on behalf of them.

No, please don't.

Don't do that.

It's my duty.

No need to thank me.

Let's take a photo together.

Come.

Okay. Gather around.

Okay.

A little something.

Okay.

Three, two, one.

Smile.

Okay, stand closer together.

That's good.

Hey, where are you taking me?

These are the doctor's words.

You have to get your hand treated.

Either you do the surgery

or go with a more conservative approach.

[Shanghai Hemei Private Hospital] Dear, listen to me.

My friend's husband who had a stroke

recovered after getting his treatment here.

This place was founded by a retired professor

from a tertiary hospital.

It's a private hospital.

Without connections, you wouldn't even be able to get an appointment.

Think about it.

The husband who had a stroke

can now walk on his own after being treated.

Your hand injury is nothing compared to that.

Have some faith.

It's not faith I lack.

It's confidence.

Listen, private hospitals aren't covered by my medical insurance.

It's not a place for us commoners.

Why are you being difficult again?

Yaqin, don't get worked up.

Listen to me.

We closed our shop.

We have no income.

Zhong Sheng's college has to be paid for.

We need money for everything.

We could just go to the community hospital

to get treated.

Do you want your hand to become crippled?

Dear.

Your hand worked most of its life for the family.

As for the remaining days,

I get to call the shots.

But where will we get the money?

You need not worry about that.

What do you mean?

No way.

That money is for you and Sheng.

What do you mean by that, Zhong?

Don't you get it?

If you don't get your hand treated,

your daughter

will surely confront Wang because of it.

She won't hold back.

So if you don't want your daughter to get into trouble,

listen to me and get your hand treated.

But...

Stop thinking so much.

Just do as I say. Come on, let's go.

The budget for this project is a little tight.

I'll try to cut some costs

from other departments.

Mr. Wang.

The elevators are so slow.

It's taking forever to come.

I think I'll take the stairs.

Do it as exercise.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Guess he's pretty fit.

How is your uncle doing?

How did you know he's unwell?

Zhong Sheng went to see Wang Jian and I happened to be there.

I told her

not to do anything reckless.

Why did she go to Wang Jian?

What does it have to do with him?

She uttered some angry remarks

and threats toward Wang Siwei.

I get where she was coming from.

Does he need expert advice?

It's fine, thanks.

My uncle went to get a check-up today.

I heard the hospital

specializes in the treatment of intractable diseases.

That's good.

If you need help, you can always come...

Come find me in my office.

Careful choice of words.

[ATM Withdrawal]

Something more meticulous is here.

Su Mo.

Yes, Mr. Wang?

I'm on the way to a meeting.

Meeting?

Looks like you're pretty serious.

Of course. Ansheng pays me a salary.

I doubt you'd want

an employee who takes advantage of a crisis.

So you should do something worth the salary, right?

Yes.

Are you just playing along with Wang Ju'an

or is there another agenda?

I'm not sure what you mean.

Mr. Wang is my superior, and I'm his employee.

In Ansheng, I do what I'm supposed to do

as a normal employee.

Normal employee?

You just said you'd do what you're paid for.

You said that, not me.

Excuse me. I have a meeting to attend.

[Legal Training] This is the breakdown for the next three days.

Don't hesitate to ask me

if you have any questions.

This training is not merely a formality.

It is to allow you all to learn about Ansheng,

which is the first step in integrating yourselves.

So I hope you'll take this seriously.

Now, let's invite

the legal counsel of Ansheng Group,

Mr. Zhou Yuanshan on stage

to begin the legal training.

A round of applause.

(What's he doing here?)

Mr. Zhou, over to you.

Thanks.

Hello, everyone.

I am Zhou Yuanshan

from LK Law Firm.

In these two days,

I'd be sharing with you

some legal knowledge.

You might wonder.

I'm only here to work.

Just an employee.

I didn't come to file a lawsuit.

Why should I learn about the law?

In fact, the law is all around us.

For instance, while at work,

there's labor law.

After getting off work and you get on the road, there's traffic law.

If you go out to dine in at a restaurant,

there's the food safety law.

I'd like to ask a question.

How many of you are married?

This isn't anything confidential, right?

Congrats, marriage law is waiting for you.

In this circumstance,

you have to be aware of the importance of evidence.

Ansheng is a company that takes care of its employees.

It isn't biased towards management.

However,

no one is going to take judicial action

without any solid proof

and based solely on what he or she says, right?

Only with evidence

can you submit an inquest with the labor arbitration.

One more thing.

Female employees can also go to the Women's Federation.

Federation? (*sounds like Avengers)

Iron Man is dead. What do we do now?

I guess we'll have to wait for Marvel to come up with a new story.

All right, that's all for today.

Everyone, have a good rest.

One last reminder.

I hope you don't reboot your brains.

Lest you forget all the stuff I taught today.

Dismissed.

My lesson was so dull.

But some students actually made notes.

You gave a very detailed talk.

But some of them

are fresh graduates,

so they have yet to grasp it.

When they come across problems in the future,

they'd realize the importance of this lesson.

You don't have to take photos.

Photos don't give the whole picture.

Scan the QR code there. It's for my WeChat.

I'll send you the notes.

Okay, thank you.

Miss Su.

In your self-introduction just now, you said you're from

the Marketing Department, right?

Su Mo from the Marketing Department.

Why do I feel like

we've met elsewhere before?

A lawyer's memory is better than most.

My uncle broke his hand during the demolition of his shop.

I approached you to get some legal advice.

I remember now.

So sorry

that I couldn't be of any help.

Don't say that. It's our problem, to begin with.

But I didn't expect you

to be an advisor for such a big group.

You must be busy,

and yet you're able to provide free counsel to the public.

It's pretty amazing.

It's nothing.

As lawyers,

we have to uphold social responsibility.

I have a lot of respect for my peers

who voice the concerns, needs, and interests of the general public.

It's too bad

that I'm unable to put aside my commitments.

I only have so much time

to give free consultations.

I do that to remind myself

of the reason I studied law.

It's already a great feat to think that way.

You flatter me.

I think your phone is ringing.

Yes, sorry about that.

I switched on silent mode for the lesson.

23 missed calls, 45 text messages.

Truly a busy man.

I shall go then. See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Bye.

Mr. Li.

I was in class just now, so I didn't hear

the phone ringing.

What are you looking at so intently?

Cong.

You're beginning to sound like Mr. Zhao.

What's his name again? Zhou something?

Zhou Yuanshan.

He was the lecturer for today's training.

Not bad.

What's not bad?

Everything is not bad.

Kele has math tuition today.

I can give you a ride on the way.

Okay.

(Why isn't Mo back yet?)

(Wait a little longer.)

Mo.

Su Mo, come and sit.

You're back.

We're waiting for you to start eating.

You're back? How is school?

School's great.

The teachers and classmates are very nice.

The dorm is great too.

But I missed my mom's cooking.

There's no class tomorrow, so I came back.

You've only missed food,

but not me.

I've missed you too!

But we can see each other

on WeChat.

As for food, I have to come back to eat it.

Sure, let me wash my hands first.

-Okay. -Be quick.

Okay.

Mo, I'm starting without you.

No need to wait. Eat up.

There's a lot of food.

They're all your favorite dishes. Eat up.

Eat more.

Zhong Sheng, eat the fish you like.

What's wrong, Zhong Sheng?

It's nothing, Mo. I'm fine.

I think I ate a little too much just now

so my stomach hurts.

But I can't make myself vomit.

Let me get you some stomach-soothing medicine.

It's okay. I'll be fine in a bit.

Let's talk outside.

I need the toilet. You go ahead.

All right.

Zhong Sheng, there's something I...

Mo, can we leave it for tomorrow?

I've been feeling so tired lately.

Let me have a good sleep at home.

My own bed is still the best.

[Legal Training]

(Why is Sheng suddenly vomiting?)

(Could she be pregnant?)

(We thought nothing happened between them.)

(Turns out they...)

If there's nothing else,

we'll end the morning session here.

See you again this afternoon.

Have a good break. Dismissed.

So I managed to lose your interest.

What's up?

Sorry about that.

I was thinking about something.

Anything I can help you with?

It's nothing. Just a family matter.

If there's anything I can do, don't hesitate to ask.

You have my WeChat. Contact me any time.
