[The Outsider]

[Episode 11]

[Moon Pavilion]

Mo.

Why are you here?

Why are you here?

Me? I'm here to see Zhong Sheng.

Just the person I wanted to see.

I have questions.

Okay. I'll answer everything you ask

truthfully.

Have you ever thought about marrying Zhong Sheng?

Marry her?

That won't be for a while.

Have you thought about having children?

Children?

Are you joking, Ms. Su Mo?

I'm a kid myself. How can I have a kid?

That's true.

How can a boy

shoulder the responsibility of a father?

Mo, you're too old-fashioned.

Our generation, Zhong Sheng included,

only cares about freedom of faith and soul.

How can you say that?

Wouldn't it be better to be alone, then?

If you don't plan on getting married,

why say that you want to be together

with Zhong Sheng?

Just because we're together doesn't mean we have to get married right away.

I know what happened on Mount Mogan.

You do?

Zhong Sheng told you?

That's okay. You're her cousin.

It doesn't matter if you find out.

What do you mean by that?

What's the matter?

It isn't a big deal.

I already told Wang about it.

He didn't say anything.

We even discussed it.

You guys discussed it?

What's wrong?

You seem more anxious about this than him.

Of course, you men wouldn't worry about

something like this.

Men are scum, no matter

their age.

Why did you have to get involved with Zhong Sheng?

I can't swim! Help!

Help!

Serves you right!

Why are you sneaking around?

Nothing.

What's wrong? Got a stiff neck?

No… I don't.

Then, why is your neck like that?

Today's not Friday. Why are you home?

I can come back whenever I want. You don't get to tell me what to do.

Hold it.

How can you talk to your brother like that?

Come here. Let me take a look at you.

What happened to your face?

You smell too.

I washed them. Why does it still smell?

What happened, brat?

You talk too much.

As if we won't find out even if you don't tell us.

Well, I was riding my bike

really fast.

There was a huge pond in front.

I didn't think

and went too fast. By the time I realized, I had fallen into the pond.

I think something cut me.

And that's how you got that on your face?

Come clean.

Come clean.

It… It was Zhong…

Zhong Sheng pushed you into the water?

Wait here.

What are you doing, Siwei?

Don't get so worked up, Siwei.

Hey.

Get two people here right now.

If you lay a hand on her,

I'll make you regret it.

Who are you yelling at?

I'm standing up for you.

Did that straight-A student do it?

No.

If it wasn't her, then who was it?

It was her cousin.

All right. We found the culprit.

What?

Stay out of this.

What do you mean?

I'll take care of it myself.

I trust

that you will sort this out fair and square.

But before you do,

let me show you something.

I thought it was hilarious

when she tried to return the card.

If her acting had been any more convincing,

I would've actually fallen for it.

She says she wants to return my card,

but she continues to spend my money.

[ATM Withdrawal] That woman deserves it, don't you think?

Of course, I'm a generous guy.

I could care less about her.

But now, she hurt Wang Jian.

What should we do about her?

What… What is it, Ju'an?

Let me see it.

20,000 in a day.

80,000 in four days.

All spent.

Why did you push Wang Jian into the water?

He deserved it.

Explain.

Zhong Sheng is pregnant.

And that makes it okay to push him?

Isn't that enough of a reason?

Just name your price.

What did you say?

I told you to name your price. Will 300,000 do?

Say that again.

Say less.

Put away that sanctimonious face of yours.

As if I'm the bad guy here.

Wang Ju'an.

The three sons of the Wang family are all scum!

Listen here!

I won't let anything happen between Zhong Sheng and Wang Jian!

Nor will we have anything to do with the Wang family!

So 300,000 isn't enough. How about 500,000?

You jerk!

But hold on to this card this time.

Don't say you lost it again.

The card won't be lost.

But your face will.

What?

Don't pretend to work hard

or to be a saint.

You're not good at either.

Wang Siwei helped you out at the club.

Wang Jian got you into Ansheng.

You took advantage, but you claim you didn't.

I suppose my brother is to blame.

If it weren't because he liked Zhong Sheng,

you wouldn't be here.

So that's what happened.

Listen here, Wang Ju'an.

You took advantage of public opinion

and exposed Yu's daughter.

You used me to take down your opponents

in Cao's case

to promote your loyal subordinate, Zhao Xiangqing.

What does that make you?

You appear as if you're noble and dignified on the surface.

But in reality, you're nothing but a shameless schemer!

What's wrong with her?

No idea.

I've never seen her like that.

That expression looks familiar.

It's a lot like the face girls make

when you want to break up over a petty argument

or…

She wants to quit.

(No matter how hard I tried)

[Resignation Letter] (to close the deal with Mr. Lu)

(and no matter how much effort I put into the Marketing Department)

(to prove myself,)

(I will never be good enough.)

(I will always be the one that relied on connections and Wang Jian.)

(My efforts mean nothing.)

(Fine. I'll leave on my own)

(while I still can.)

I'll cook dinner for you in a bit.

It's good.

Have a small piece.

Mo.

Zhong Sheng, why are you home?

I went to your university.

What's wrong? Why didn't you call me?

I did. I couldn't get through.

Maybe there was no signal at the hospital.

Hospital?

Yes, my mother forced me to get a gastroscopy.

A gastroscopy? What's wrong with your stomach?

It's better for my mom to explain.

You guys talk.

Take a break. I'll cook.

Go on.

I'll be right there.

Aunt, what's wrong with Sheng?

She threw up,

so I took her to the hospital

to get a checkup.

So how is she?

How did it go?

The doctor said she was fine.

She just caught a cold.

She caught a cold?

Yes.

Plus, she ate too quickly that day…

Wait. Hold on, Aunt.

So she just has a cold and a stomach problem?

Yes.

I told her to sleep early.

I can watch her while she's at home,

but once she's in her dorm,

she'll definitely stay up late.

She's young, but she won't take care of her body.

Get some rest.

I'll prepare dinner.

Be careful.

Zhong Sheng.

Go and study. I can handle this.

Can't you let me try to be good for once?

So that you think that having a daughter like me

is better than having two?

You're a terrible cook. No one can eat your food.

Spare me.

Fine. I'll be your kitchen helper.

All right.

Make sure the leaves are clean.

Okay.

How's this?

Not bad. That's good.

Today, we'll be having

stir-fried pork with celery.

All right.

I don't get it, Mo.

What evidence do you have?

How did you come to the conclusion

that Wang Jian and I did it?

But I saw the two of you

in that tent together.

Mo, let me say this again.

I have never dated once in my life

since the day I was born.

If I wanted to get Wang Jian,

why did I have to wait until we went to Mount Mogan

and give all those people a show?

So you guys didn't do it?

Absolutely.

If I did something like that,

I would take responsibility.

Besides,

you really need to get rid of that habit

of jumping to conclusions and accusing others without proof

of yours.

Otherwise, you'll regret it sooner or later.

I already do.

I got into a huge fight with Wang Ju'an

over this.

I quit.

You quit?

But you just got this job.

How could you…

Don't bring it up. That's why I'm a mess right now.

I don't know what I should do either.

What should you do?

Heck if I know.

You should've at least made her take a pregnancy test first.

Cong, it's enough that you know about this.

Or I won't be able to swallow a bitter pill.

I could choke on it and die.

You're making me mad.

If you only sent the mail to me,

I could pretend nothing happened.

But you even forwarded it to the head of the HR Department

and Wang Ju'an.

What was wrong with you?

Well, it's too late to take it back.

Besides, I don't want to stay

at a place

where I am not acknowledged.

It's meaningless.

Are you talking about Mr. Wang?

If he didn't approve of you,

he wouldn't have let me bring you in.

If I can see your qualities,

do you think he can't?

Did he misunderstand something

about the matter with your cousin?

No idea.

Either way,

I'll find a place that accepts me.

Besides, I've gotten my certificate from night university.

It won't be hard to find a job

in an office.

Thank you for all your help

in the past few months.

I learned a lot.

You're killing me.

[Employment Separation Certificate]

Here you go.

Your separation certificate has been stamped.

Give that to me.

[Su Mo]

Mr. Zhao.

What happened, Su?

Do you have to make such a big deal out of this?

Mr. Zhao, I have learned a lot from my time

working with you.

I wish you all the best in your career and future.

Would it be too much

if I wish you

all the best in your journey?

Wait.

Does it have something to do

with Wang?

If it does, tell me.

I won't tell anyone else.

I don't want to bother you any longer, Mr. Zhao. I'll be leaving now.

(Mr. Wang.)

The task reports for the Marketing and Business Development Departments

for the last two quarters

are out.

The founder of Usmile, Mr. Chen,

will be in Shanghai tomorrow.

Ms. Cong Rong has arranged everything.

You will have a meeting with them tomorrow

and discuss the next step.

I'll get busy, Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang.

I was wrong about what happened between Wang Jian and Zhong Sheng.

I owe Wang Jian an apology.

I take back every inappropriate thing I said about him.

But

I'll remember you said

that all my hard work was an act.

(I know 300,000)

(doesn't mean anything to you.)

But I won't have a peaceful conscience if I take it.

I need money.

But I earn every penny I have with peace of mind.

(Everyone has a bottom line)

(they won't cross.)

(This isn't something you can buy with 300,000.)

(If her acting had been any more convincing,)

I would've actually fallen for it.

(She says she wants to return my card,)

[ATM Withdrawal] (but she continues to spend my money.)

(Are you sure you won't talk to Wang Jian's brother)

(and explain things)

(and withdraw your letter of resignation?)

I already got back my labor manual.

I can't take it back anymore.

Well,

you did wrongly accuse Wang Jian first.

It's not exactly wrong of his brother

to criticize you.

I'm just talking about what happened.

I'm impartial.

You know me. I don't like

his stoic face.

But if even I'm saying that,

maybe you should reflect on yourself.

Sheng, you don't know him.

He wasn't even trying to make it about the matter

that day.

It was personal.

Why is he like that, huh?

Sometimes, you think he is fair

and kind.

Sometimes, he is so arrogant,

like a cold-blooded animal.

Does he have a personality disorder?

What?

Schizophrenia. Having multiple personalities.

I don't think that's the case.

There really are a lot of people like that in this world.

The craziest case I heard was about a man

who had nine personalities,

and one of them

would even make another personality kill.

I don't think

Mr. Wang is that bad.

But he really drove me into a corner that day

when I resigned.

I… I was just…

I felt humiliated.

Well, I've experienced worse.

Forget it.

It's a shame you lost a good job.

Zhong Sheng, are you okay?

I'm fine.

What's the hurry?

That day, I met your sister at the university.

I didn't understand what she was saying.

You never called me.

So I figured it out

when you called me today.

You figured it out?

What did you figure out?

Did someone take advantage of you?

I… No.

Zhong Sheng, you have to tell me

if someone did something to you.

It doesn't matter what it is. You can tell me anything.

I'll always have your back and protect you.

I'm fine.

I mean it, Zhong Sheng.

You can tell me anything.

I'll be the wall you can lean on.

Even if you were…

Even if you were… I would…

What's going on in your mind?

Nothing happened to me.

Really?

Yes.

I'm glad.

Wang Jian.

Your injury...

It's nothing.

I actually came

to apologize on behalf of my cousin.

Apologize?

She made you

lots of delicious food.

She said your family doesn't need anything,

so nothing she buys will be good enough for an apology.

So she made you a bunch of tasty treats

herself.

She made

these two pastries herself.

This is

smoked fish.

They're all your favorites.

Take them back with you.

You remember I like smoked fish?

You stuffed all those snacks

in your desk.

One time, your smoked fish

even ruined my textbook.

How could I forget?

It's good!

You have some too.

No, I'm fine.

Then, eat this.

Wang Jian.

I want to apologize to you formally.

I'm sorry.

Why so formal?

Don't take me for an outsider.

Listen.

If she wants to continue to work in Ansheng,

I'll fight my brother until the end.

Don't do that.

Mo has her pride.

She is determined.

Let's respect her decision.

Wang Ju'an must have said something.

He is always like that.

He is always hormonal.

He doesn't care about anything when he lectures others.

But

there's one thing that's odd.

What is it?

My oldest brother's reaction wasn't as bad as I expected

when he found out I went to Mount Mogan.

And recently, he has been in a good mood.

But

his whole expression turned dark after Siwei showed him

the text message from the bank.

A text message from the bank?

What about it?

I think it was from ICBC.

Something about 300,000.

Zhong Sheng,

your cousin didn't take that 300,000, right?

So why is Siwei bringing it up again?

But I don't think

he made the message up.

A text message from the bank.

A text message from the bank.

Mo definitely didn't take the money.

So who could it be?

You didn't make a sound.

You scared me!

Why are you being so secretive?

No reason.

What are you doing?

There's nothing there. What are you doing?

You…

Tong Yaqin.

Explain this.

[Industrial and Commercial Bank of China]

How could you do this?

You're committing a crime!

What crime?

You told Su Mo

that she should accept the card.

We were using it as evidence.

We were going to the police with it.

Why go to the police?

Besides, if anyone should take it, it should be Mo.

Not you.

Keep it down.

Do you want the neighbors to hear you?

Aunt,

it doesn't matter if they hear us.

I need an explanation from you.

I…

I'm waiting.

What is there to say?

You guys found out.

There's nothing to say.

You knew I was looking everywhere for the card

that day.

Yet, you pretended nothing happened

and pretended to look for it with me!

What was your intention?

What do you want to do to me?

Su Mo, calm down.

It's not what you think.

I thought it was lost too.

I only found it after that.

What's the matter, Yaqin?

Are you all right?

The card!

I found the card!

Where did you find it?

Under the covers.

So you think that because Uncle was hurt

and you found this card,

you can just take it?

You can ignore my feelings,

but have you considered

what he would feel about this?

Stop questioning your aunt.

It was my idea.

Dad.

Now is not the time for you to prove your devotion.

We know you're a henpecked man.

But you can't make things up just to defend my mother.

Zhong Sheng.

Su Mo.

I know you don't believe me.

I have been

an honest and weak man

all my life.

So you don't believe that I would do this.

But the truth is,

everything was my idea

from the very beginning.

Look at this.

She was looking all over for this card.

I'll call her and let her know.

Thank goodness.

Don't call her.

Keep this card.

What do you mean?

They should

pay me

300,000

for my hand.

What about Su Mo?

Even if Su Mo returned the money,

it would go back to Mr. Wang Jr.

We can't open the store anymore.

It has been so long,

but we haven't heard a peep from Ansheng.

Consider this

my compensation fee.

Use it however you want.

Keep it.

(I'm a coward)

[Industrial and Commercial Bank of China] (who is afraid of trouble.)

But trouble just won't leave me alone!

Su Mo,

there will come a day

when even a weak man wants to stand up for himself.

Blame me if you must.

Your aunt has nothing to do with this.

Fine.

Let's settle this

once and for all.

We'll make up the difference.

Mo, you still need 80,000, right?

Mom,

you still have that wealth management product, don't you?

Take it out and pay Mo back the money.

Don't be ridiculous!

Do you know how much interest I make in that?

I don't care.

That's not your money.

Stop forcing your mother!

Su Mo,

if Ansheng asks for the money,

tell them I took it.

They owe me.

They should pay me, interest included.

Su Mo,

take whatever is left on this card.

They did this to your uncle.

Why should I lose interest in paying them back?

If you must pay them back,

wait for three months.

Once I get my interest in three months,

I'll pay you the rest.

Aunt, I cannot wait until then

to pay back the money.

Mo!

Zhong Sheng.

Mo!

Mo!

Mo!

This is the new year's gift money

my grandfather gave me.

I had 20,000.

I bought a computer when I started university.

There's only around 10,000 yuan left.

Keep it.

They took 80,000.

This won't make a dent.

Keep the card.

A student shouldn't worry about money.

Focus on your studies.

Mo, I can't bring myself to look at you anymore.

I'm sorry.

Uncle surprised me today.

Do you think he did that to protect Aunt? Or…

I don't know.

I'm so confused by them.

Never mind. Forget about them.

What are you going to do about the money?

I know.

Ignore him.

Just make some excuse not to lend him the money.

Su Mo, come in.

Let me finish this call.

Okay.

Listen.

Borrowing and lending money is the most troublesome matter there is.

Especially between friends and schoolmates.

Do not get involved.

If something happens,

you won't be able to stay friends.

That's why I would rather take out a bigger loan from the bank

than borrow money from friends and relatives

when I bought a house.

That's right.

I have to go.

I have a guest.

I'm hanging up.

Sorry, Su Mo.

My mother can be long-winded.

Oh, your mother called.

Yes. Have a seat.

A friend of hers wants to borrow money

to buy a house.

I advised her

that she should only lend money to someone

if it was to treat an illness

or save a life.

If it was just to buy a house, then she shouldn't.

Don't you think so?

Would you like coffee or tea?

I'm fine.

Did you need to see me about something?

Cong, can you lend me some money?

Money?

I can write an IOU.

We can follow the same interest rates as the bank.

I just need three months.

I promise I'll pay you back in three months.

No. Let me ask you this first.

Are you using the money to buy a house or a car?

No.

Are your parents sick?

No.

Why do you need the money, then?

Cong,

this matter concerns the privacy of others.

I can't tell you the details.

But please believe me.

I am not using the money

to do anything immoral or illegal.

I just need three months.

I will pay you back when the time is up.

How much do you need?

60,000.

60,000?

That's not a big sum.

But neither is it a small sum.

How about this?

I have 30,000 left in my balance.

Take it for your emergency.

I want the IOU, but leave out the interest.

That would affect our relationship.

Thank you, Cong.

I promise I'll pay you back on time.

No rush.

Hello.

This is my annual membership card.

I only used one month.

There are 11 months left.

Can I get a refund?

I'm sorry.

According to the agreement, we don't give refunds once a card is issued.

What if it's discounted?

We cannot return or refund it.

But if you have a friend who wants the membership,

you can transfer it to them.

Su?

Mr. Zhao.

I've never seen you here before.

My previous gym membership is expiring soon.

This place is closer to the company,

so I thought I would try it out.

Have you decided to sign up for a card?

Sure.

Su,

what is going on?

Why did you quit all of a sudden?

Wang approved it the same day.

It was quite a shock for all of us.

Can I not say the reason?

Wang doesn't have

the best temper.

But as a superior,

he is actually quite willing to promote his subordinates.

Besides, you've already gotten the hang of things

at the Marketing Department.

Isn't it a shame

to quit so suddenly?

How about this?

Why don't I talk to Wang again?

That's not necessary, Mr. Zhao.

I appreciate the sentiment.

I have something else to do. I need to go.

All right.

30,000 from Cong.

10,000 from the gym membership.

Plus my own

27,000.

I'm still a bit short of money.

Ju'an, that's Ms. Su Mo!

Have you never seen her before? Why such a huge reaction?

Why didn't you say hello

when you saw her?

I did it for you.

Your looks are ruined.

Do you know what you look like right now?

Your brother.

No.

You look like a man

who just lost a love

that was within his reach.

Say another word,

and you can walk home.

You deserve to be single.

Thank you.

An Americano.

Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang, I ran into Su at the gym.

Is there a problem?

You just need a membership to use the gym.

Why would it be odd that she was there?

The odd thing is,

she wasn't there to sign up for a card.

As if she could be there to sell a card.

Yes.

She sold her card to me.

That's why I think her behavior is strange.

Normally…

Thanks.

She wanted to sell me the card

for only 80% of the original price.

I refused.

I paid full price for it.

I didn't want to take advantage of her.

You're quite righteous.

As I should.

She seemed like she really needed

the money.

That's what struck me as odd.

Why would she quit if she needed money so badly?

Why would she apply for a gym membership if she needed money?

That membership isn't cheap.

That's why I think she's a little incomprehensible.

I think you're incomprehensible.

Hello?

Mr. Shang.

Miss Su. It has been a while.

Please cut to the chase, Mr. Shang.

I don't want to waste time.

How can a jobless white-collar worker

be busier than a president

of a listed company?

You deal with hundreds of millions in your business.

Success or failure is just a number.

A commoner like me works day and night

to earn money to live.

In that sense,

my time is more valuable than yours.

Yet, you dared to quit without a backup plan.

Your courage is admirable, Miss Su.

If you haven't figured out where to go yet,

why not join Jiake?

Our Marketing Department is expanding.

We need talents such as yourself.

Miss Su, may I know

your specific role at Ansheng?

Marketing Assistant.

Then, I'll give you the title of senior assistant.

As for salary,

I'll pay you 1.5 times

Ansheng paid.

Well?

Are you not satisfied with the terms?

But may I know what you want from me, Mr. Shang?

Do you not trust me,

or do you not trust yourself?

I prefer to believe

that nothing is free in this world.

Well said.

The truth is simple.

I like to deal with smart and hardworking

people,

and you happen

to possess both of these qualities.

Can I have some time to think about it?

Is a day enough?

That will do. Thank you.

[The City Never Sleeps] (Shang Chun went to see you in person?)

Don't get the wrong idea.

There's nothing between us.

It's strictly professional.

I know that.

I know him.

What I mean is that

for him to approach a potential employee himself,

it's a little odd.

Yes.

I think he has an ulterior motive too.

It doesn't matter what motive he has.

I plan to reject his offer.

No, don't.

Why?

I think Shang Chun just wants to use this

to get back at Wang Ju'an.

Don't turn the offer down. It's a great opportunity.

Are you worried

because Jiake and Ansheng are competitors?

Come on.

You guys aren't working super high-secret or high-tech jobs

at Ansheng.

You're just marketing assistants.

It's not that bad.

Listen.

You don't just get to

join such a big company.

Think about it carefully.

It would be a shame if you turned it away just like that.

But what happened at the club…

I promise

Shang Chun had nothing

to do with it.

It was all Wang Siwei's idea.

He's the bad guy.

Shang Chun's a good buy.

Don't look at me.

I don't know what they are like in private.

But career-wise,

Jiake is a good platform.

You left Ansheng in such a short time.

It won't be easy for you to find another job.

Since Mr. Shang gave you a chance,

why not give it a try?

Who cares what his motives are?

You just need to do your best

and do your job right.

That's right.

You'll be my eyes and ears once you join Jiake.

You can get rid

of all the pests

around him, and…

Stop dreaming.

She is joining the Marketing Department.

She won't have a chance to interact with the big boss.

That's true.

In any case, I won't see him that often.

It's just a job.

Then, just accept it.

Just take it.

If not, you can quit too.

Join Jiake as well and keep her company.

I'm doing fine at my job. Why would I leave?

Besides,

it won't look good on my resume if I keep job hopping.

Su Mo, cherish this opportunity.

Don't be so impulsive.

Got it.

Since I got a new job today,

dinner is on me.

What do you guys want?

Hot pot.

Grilled meat.

Then, we hit the club.

Su Mo,

Mr. Wang isn't available right now.

Please see him later.

He has to have a meal with someone from the Chamber of Commerce later.

Let's arrange for a later time. All right?

Get back to work.

I found the card.

But there's only 270,000 yuan on it.

This is the IOU.

I'll pay you back the 30,000

in three months.

Where did you find the card?

It was tangled up in the duvet covers.

Didn't you take out 80,000?

Why is it 30,000 now?

You barged in here.

You ought to explain.

In a disagreeable conversation, to say one more word is a waste of time.

I want to take back the receipt I left here.

Who spent the 30,000?

The card was in my hands.

So I'm responsible.

Consider it my spending.

What do you mean by that?

You spent the money.

You spent the money, but you had to take the crowded bus.

You spent the money, but you're so poor you needed to sell your gym membership card.

In any case, I will return you

300,000.

Do you think I care about the 300,000?

Then, why are you so aggressive?

That's… I…

If you have a problem, say it.

If you still have your spine and stubbornness,

why did you lie?

Believe what you want.

Stop there.

Is there anything else?

You haven't found a job yet, have you?

So you just quit in the heat of the moment.

You're not a fresh graduate.

Don't you know the basic rule of finding your next job before quitting?

Do you think it's cool to quit without a backup plan or something?

I've already found my next job.

Don't underestimate me.

What do you mean?

She didn't break anything?

Okay.

I'm responsible.

Consider it me.

[IOU] (Why would she quit if she needed money so badly?)

Why would she apply for a gym membership if she needed money?

That membership isn't cheap.

♪Why do we face each other with such rationality?♪

♪A warm heart remains invisible, not revealed to anyone♪

Everyone, one moment.

I have an announcement.

Today,

the Marketing Department will have a new colleague.

Please welcome her.

Hello, everyone. I'm Su Mo.

I'll be under your care.
