[The Outsider]

[Episode 16]

[Ai Lin]

Speak.

It's nothing.

I think I need to thank you for this.

However,

I don't want the reporters to get hold of them

before I reveal these pictures myself.

If not, there will be dire consequences.

Wang Siwei's biological mother was a working girl.

Selling Ansheng Plaza

and investing all of your efforts into developing the smart apartment project,

it's your dream, no?

Did you think you never committed any despicable deeds?

(How dare you lecture me?)

(On the surface, you're lending me the money.)

(In reality, you just want to keep me under control.)

(Courtesy on one side does not last long.)

(Just you wait.)

Qing.

Qing?

What's wrong?

What's wrong? What happened?

Talk to me. Don't scare me like this.

What is this?

Are you pregnant?

Isn't it obvious?

What do you plan to do now?

What do you plan to do?

Head to the hospital tomorrow.

Go for a check-up.

If the child is fine,

we should give birth to the child.

You want to keep the child?

This is our child.

Don't you wish to keep the child?

Of course I do!

Of course I want to keep our child.

I just thought

that you might not want to keep the child.

This is our child.

Why would I not want that?

I did multiple tests at home the entire day.

I was thinking about

the possible reactions you might give when you saw the result.

I was afraid that you might not want to keep the child.

I was also afraid that I might not want to keep the child.

From now on, we're a family.

We'll never be apart.

Thank you.

I should be the one thanking you.

This is the best gift you gave me.

You're pregnant?

So, in the future,

I can't join you guys for coffee,

red wine, or ice cream.

Remember to keep an eye on me.

I can't keep myself in check.

You've decided to give birth to the child?

Of course.

What did Shang Chun say?

I know you guys are worried

that he might not want to keep the child.

At first, I was worried about the same thing.

But he was elated when I told him

about the news.

He loves our child.

So, is he not marrying Ai Lin anymore?

Well, he is.

Didn't you say that you would break up with him

after his wedding?

Look at the state I'm in.

How can I break up with him now?

So you would rather give birth to the child

and give him a broken family?

Can you don't be that mean?

That's the fact.

That's not what Cong meant.

We're just worried about you.

I know you guys are worried about me.

But what can I do now?

I can't just abort the baby

for the sake of his future, right?

All right.

I know you guys are doing this for my own good.

However,

since it has already come to this,

I can only take it one step at a time.

That's so beautiful.

Su Mo,

Mr. Wang bought this gift for you.

Thank you.

He even bought gifts for his employees during a business trip?

It looks expensive.

Mr. Wang's girlfriend must be lucky, then.

Yeah.

I wonder the kind of woman he would find to be his girlfriend.

Yeah.

-Thank you, Mr. Wang. -Thank you, Mr. Wang.

Don't mention it.

Thank you, Mr. Wang.

I've placed several urgent documents

on your desk.

Okay.

Thank you.

Su Mo, here's your parcel.

Thank you.

What a coincidence.

Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhao.

Are you returning to the law firm?

I can get off work when I'm done

with your company's affairs.

We appreciate your hard work.

Su Mo.

Yes.

I'll get off work soon.

What did you say?

Tonight?

Wait.

Wait a moment.

I lost the signal. I was in the elevator.

Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhao,

I'll make a move first.

Okay.

Take care.

Oh, you meant the details for the case?

I'll send it to you when I'm back.

Okay, no problem.

Why don't we go and unwind?

What else do you think I can do?

(One month?)

How could you give her such a long period of time?

You could give birth to a child in one month, you know?

What would you do if you were in my shoes?

If I were in your shoes,

I would've

flirted with her, kissed her, and spoiled her.

She was so terrified

that she came up with a position transfer application.

I don't want her to be so scared that she resigns.

Wang,

let me ask you something.

I'm just curious.

Don't take it too seriously, okay? I'm just asking.

Have you ever dated anyone before?

How many girls have you courted successfully?

Courting?

I'm a CEO

and a mighty man.

I don't need to court girls.

It's definitely useless if I try to court Su Mo.

When I told her about it,

she gave me the position transfer application.

I don't even know what she's thinking.

I think

Su Mo was within your grasp

right before Attorney Zhou appeared.

But now that he's appeared,

it's hard to say.

According to my experience,

you have to

put your back into it.

If not, someone else might beat you to her.

That's impossible.

They just call each other and have meals together occasionally.

This is where you're wrong.

Calling each other and having meals together is the beginning.

All relationships

originate from a dining table.

Now, it may seem like they're just having a meal or coffee together to you.

But in the future, it'll turn into PDA.

You have to be proactive, you know?

Right now, Su Mo has two men to choose from.

One is you.

The other is Mr. Zhou.

Do you want me to give you an analysis?

When it comes to height,

fine, you win.

When it comes to knowledge, Attorney Zhou

has a senior lawyer certification.

He's pretty good himself.

You two are equal in that regard.

However, when it comes to one's temper and personality,

you're no match for him.

Wait.

Why are you comparing our personalities?

What else can I compare, then? Your looks?

Mr. Zhou is pretty good-looking himself.

What else is there to compare? Your wealth?

If so, you're playing dirty here.

Why am I playing dirty when it comes to comparing our wealth?

Wang,

white-collar workers like us

try to work hard

every day

to afford a house here.

Before we buy one, we need to do some math

and determine whether a commercial loan or a provident fund

is better.

If it's a commercial loan, how much should I loan?

How many years do I need to repay the loan? How much is the interest?

We need to calculate such costs.

But it's different for you.

You think about

the piece of land you want to buy in Shanghai

and how much the premium should be.

We aren't even

on the same race track.

This is totally unfair.

There's no way to compare that.

And you see, sometimes, women do like

diligent men like Mr. Zhou.

They feel safe and secure if they have a husband like him.

I don't like what you said just now.

That hurts.

Wang, it's not like you don't stand a chance at all.

Men like you

can evoke a woman's desire to conquer something.

If you truly like Su Mo,

you just need to remember one thing.

That is to endure.

Constant dropping wears away a stone.

No matter what happens, you have to endure.

You have to move forward

without turning back.

You can do it.

I can do it.

After the night call with the person in charge in France,

you, Tianyu, and I will hold a meeting.

In the company?

No need. A teleconference will do.

However, it'll be quite late.

All right, I got it.

It's late. Turn off the lights.

Save some electricity.

Su, can you hear me?

Yes, I can.

What's with the soft tone?

Mr. Wang, can you hear me?

[Voice Call]

I don't think I can hear you.

Is it an issue on Su Mo's side?

What about now? Can you hear me now?

Regarding the issue with the time-honored brands

who are unwilling to cooperate with us

for the upgrade,

I will...

Su Mo, you can continue your call on the balcony.

[Su Mo, Wang Ju'an, Tianyu] You won't be able to work well here.

And we can't sleep well either.

We shouldn't interrupt each other.

Got it, Aunt. Lower your volume.

They can hear you, you know?

You're complaining about me now? What a joke.

Stop it.

I thought you were already in the bed. Why did you get up?

Hello? Why is Su Mo disconnected from the call?

Mr. Wang, give me a second.

I'm trying to reach Su Mo.

Hello, Tianyu.

Mr. Wang, Su Mo is back.

I'm truly sorry about that.

Who was shouting at you just now?

No one.

I just got disconnected from the call.

Let's continue.

Yes, Mr. Wang.

This is next month's budget for the Marketing Department.

This is the work progress of the Business Development Department.

This is the recruitment...

Where did you go after that?

Where did you answer the call

after your aunt's interruption?

The balcony.

Have you not considered moving out?

Moving out?

Find a place near the company

that you can reach within 30 minutes by car.

People should fret about matters

related to their current stage of life.

If you wish to proceed forward,

you shouldn't stop

at the stage where you're still calculating your transportation costs.

The time cost is expensive, too.

You could've spent your time

on work or learning new things.

After that, you can live however you want.

This is just my personal suggestion.

You can choose to ignore it.

No, I think that's a great suggestion.

Come in.

Cong, I was looking for you.

What is it?

Please take a look for me.

Are these unit pictures

from the community you live in?

You're right.

It's right opposite my unit.

The agent said they were trying to rent it out urgently

and the rent was negotiable.

Is that so?

Can you please help me check out the unit

and see if there are any leakages or other issues as such?

Su Mo, do you truly wish to move to our community?

Mr. Wang.

We're not working overtime this weekend, right?

What? Do you have a plan?

It's done.

It's nothing special.

Su Mo is moving to a new place.

And she invited me and Cong Rong over for a meal.

I wonder if you're interested in joining us.

I don't think everyone will enjoy themselves when I'm around.

Moreover, she didn't invite me.

If so, I guess Mr. Zhou and I

will be the only men present.

I thought everyone was here?

Who else did you invite?

I don't know.

Go and take a look.

Zhong Sheng, I'll go.

You can fill Mr. Zhou's cup for him.

Okay, let me help you out.

Su Mo, who else did you invite?

No one.

Mr. Wang, what are you doing here?

Hi, everyone.

Mr. Wang?

Does he need a pair of slippers?

No need for that.

Mr. Zhou, you're here, too.

You actually brought something here?

What a coincidence.

Mr. Wang, you can sit here.

I'll sit over there.

Okay.

I'll sit here. You can sit here.

That's fine. This seat is okay.

You guys haven't started yet?

Mr. Wang, have a seat.

Mr. Wang, what brings you here today?

I was talking about some work-related matters with Xiangqing on the phone.

He told me that you guys have a gathering.

That's why he called me here.

Actually, we always wanted to build a shelter

for the talents in Ansheng.

Although we need some time before we can proceed with it,

as the leader,

I'm still very concerned

about the living environment of my employees.

When I came here,

I realized that the community was pretty good.

The greenery percentage should be...

Mr. Wang.

You're not here to inspect a site.

You guys drink red wine, too?

Coincidentally, I brought two bottles of it with me.

Is that so?

Why don't we have Mr. Wang's red wine first?

We can have Mr. Zhou's later.

That's right.

Mr. Zhou, you must try this as well.

I'll tell Zhang

to send you and Xiangqing home later.

Drink up.

I must enjoy myself today.

I'll leave only after drinking to my heart's content.

Let's give Su Mo a toast.

Congratulations on moving into a new place.

Congratulations.

Cheers.

Congratulations on moving into a new place.

Thank you, everyone.

Mr. Wang,

are you not used to having a hot pot?

What do you mean?

I thought a bossy CEO should have

Italian or French cuisine all the time?

It's because you don't know what a CEO is like.

Is that so?

No matter what you eat,

Shanghai is a city

that embraces diversity.

No matter what kind of food we have,

be it cheap

or luxurious,

in Shanghai,

we can localize them and embrace their fusion.

Isn't that so?

Well said, Mr. Wang.

Embracing diversity.

That's one of the reasons

I love Shanghai.

I second that.

Your efforts in Shanghai

would never be in vain.

Looks like you guys chose the right place.

But, Su Mo, I'm curious about something.

I know you like this city.

But do you like the people in the city?

Of course. People like Cong and Mr. Zhao

are my role models.

You also love Shanghainese cuisine, right?

Is that so? You like Shanghainese cuisine?

Speaking of which,

I brought some local specialties from our hometown.

Stinky Mandarin Fish.

Here, please try it.

It might've gone cold, though.

Here, try it.

Mo, Uncle made this dish for us

whenever we visited you guys when we were kids.

Mr. Zhou,

you have the potential to be a Shanghainese man.

You're already way better than all other men since you could cook.

Thank you.

Men who know how to cook are indeed charming.

Try it.

Here.

Thank you.

Ms. Cong, Mr. Zhao, please help yourselves.

I'm allergic to fish.

Ms. Cong?

I'm on a diet.

That's a shame, then.

I'm not allergic to fish, nor am I on a diet. I will have it.

Eat up. It's our hometown dish.

I love Stinky Mandarin Fish the most.

Xiangqing,

so you're allergic to fish?

What about lamb chop?

No.

Do you happen to have some?

Yeah.

Let me show you guys my cooking skills.

Coincidentally, I bought them from the supermarket.

It's fine. You guys continue eating.

Mr. Shang.

Look at them.

They're pretty scary.

Sharks appeared

a few billion years earlier than dinosaurs.

However, sharks survived

while dinosaurs went extinct.

Do you know why?

Why?

It's because their teeth

are different from other mammals'.

No matter how many times they're detached,

they can grow back.

They're always ready to tear their foes

apart.

What's the matter?

Mr. Shang,

before this, you told me

that you would make me the female lead of a movie

if I took Wang Siwei to the casino, right?

But I thought you weren't willing to cooperate with me?

I wasn't in my right mind back then.

Before this, I thought

it was only a small favor.

Who knew

this incident would be blown out of proportion?

Wang Siwei lost a lot of money.

He's angry when he sees me.

Although he didn't break up with me,

he definitely wouldn't marry me now.

So, you always thought

you could marry yourself into a rich family, huh?

No wonder you're spreading your wings now.

Mr. Shang,

you misunderstood me.

I would have no way to make acquaintance with Wang Siwei

if you didn't create the chance for me.

And I was able to be an actress

only because you introduced

the director to me.

Mr. Shang, you've supported me

and nurtured me all this while.

I have to repay your kindness.

I'm definitely not an ingrate.

I'm glad that you know that.

If so, about the movie...

Not now.

We mustn't let Wang Siwei get suspicious.

I will make arrangements for it after some time.

Just wait.

Thank you, Mr. Shang.

Anything else?

I heard

that if I took him to Macao, China

and if he lost money there,

the casino would give me a rebate.

Mr. Shang, don't get mad.

That's not what I mean.

Just forget about what I said.

Mr. Shang, don't be angry.

How could I be mad at you?

I love to work with intelligent people like you.

Tomorrow,

I'll transfer the money to your account.

You can rest assured.

Thank you, Mr. Shang.

Actually,

these sharks look pretty cute.

Men who can cook

are charming indeed.

He's so cool.

He's so cool.

Here it is.

Here, everyone, give it a try.

That looks great.

I don't know if my cooking skills have got rusty or not.

It looks pretty good.

Mr. Zhou, I'll get a piece for you.

Thank you, Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang, I'll take one with my hands.

Here, you can have this.

You can have it first.

You're being so courteous.

Delicious.

How many Michelin stars are there again?

Three.

This is definitely a Michelin three-star dish.

Try it. It's delicious.

Let's do something else.

Why don't we play some games?

Sure.

What should we play?

You belong to Gen Z.

You can teach old people like us

what to play.

Gen Z does respect their elders.

Let's play something you guys are familiar with.

Let's begin.

Okay.

Mr. Zhou.

What about this? Let's set the rules first.

We'll ask each person three questions.

Okay.

Let me think.

Mr. Zhou, do you have a girlfriend?

No.

If so...

Let me ask the second question.

Mr. Zhou, if you do get married,

will you return to your wife's hometown

during Chinese New Year?

Or will you tell her to stay here with you?

What a cliche.

It's a classic question. Quiet.

Actually, it doesn't matter

where she comes from.

I'll bring all of them to Shanghai.

The third question.

If your wife and your mother

fell into the river at the same time, who would you save?

There you go again.

Stop messing up my plan.

I can't do anything about this question.

I can't even swim myself.

So you would save neither of them?

The next question is...

This round is actually over.

Three questions, right?

Mr. Zhao, thank you for your two excellent questions.

Mr. Zhao,

you truly live up to your name as the king of gossip in Ansheng.

You flatter me.

To you.

Let's continue.

All right, let's continue.

Next round.

Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang?

I'll do it.

The first question.

Mr. Wang, is there anyone you like?

Yes.

Who is it?

Don't tell us.

The second question.

Mr. Wang, if you want to woo her,

but she's rejecting your advances,

will you continue to woo her?

Of course.

The third question.

Mr. Wang,

let's say that you've won her heart.

However, there's a huge background difference between you two.

Will you try to shorten the gap

from your side?

Of course,

it's fine even if you're not willing

to answer this question.

You can finish one glass of wine instead.

Looks like Zhao Xiangqing

isn't the only busybody here.

This is a game. It should be exciting.

The harsher it is,

the...

Zhong Sheng is right.

We're playing a game here. We need to obey the rules.

No matter how huge the gap

between me and the person I like is,

I will be responsible

for closing the gap.

Is that answer good enough,

Mr. Zhou?

Mr. Wang.

Sheng,

I bought this wool blanket for you.

It's very nice. Try it.

Mo, try and guess how much the red wine brought by Wang Jian's brother

cost.

How much?

Look.

Why are you searching for its price? You must be too bored.

Mo, you see,

between the supermarket-bought red wine

from Mr. Zhou, which was worth 500 yuan,

and Wang Ju'an's

Romanée-Conti from his private stash,

which one will you choose?

Stop that.

Well...

Wang Ju'an was pretty obvious with his intention today.

I don't wish to waste my time on something with a low probability.

Low probability?

Forget it. You won't understand anyway.

I'll take a bath now.

If I must say,

it's all your fault.

Actions speak louder than words.

The three steps that I told you to do,

they were well-received.

If you confess to her sooner,

Mr. Zhou will have no way to compete with you.

That's precisely why.

They only knew each other for a short time, you know?

Well, don't give up yet.

Maybe Mr. Zhou is just

a bosom friend to her.

Bosom friend?

What bosom friend?

Have you ever had a female bosom friend before?

It's just an excuse made up

by those with ulterior motives.

Bosom friend?

More like trying-to-get-close-to-you friend.

Don't be that angry.

Think about it. Su Mo did invite me

to her housewarming party, too, right?

So what if she did so?

Have you ever had a meal with her in private?

Nope.

Have you ever tried everything you could

to recommend French lessons to her?

Of course not.

Wang,

you'll only be able to show off if you win her heart now.

Zhao!

Sorry for the rudeness.

Please.

Shut it.

[The City Never Sleeps] (Tell us about it.)

(I heard that Wang Ju'an was at odds)

(with that attorney.)

What happened?

Did I miss out on something?

Cong,

what did you tell her?

Look at how nosy she looks.

She wants to plunge the world into chaos.

If that's the case,

your housewarming party became a battle between the suitors, huh?

It's all Zhao Xiangqing's fault.

I already told him off.

What's the point of that?

Keep quiet. I want to hear it from her.

My dear, an attorney and a bossy CEO are trying to court you now.

Let me clap for you.

Mr. Zhou and I come from the same hometown.

We get along better.

As for Wang Ju'an,

I haven't made up my mind yet.

Do you even need to think? He's Wang Ju'an, you know?

You stand a higher chance of striking the lottery than winning his heart.

It's precisely because he's Wang Ju'an.

That's why

I don't want to put myself under too much pressure.

What pressure are you talking about?

Su Mo is saying

that she does not want to put in the effort to reach his height.

Of course, times are changing.

Now, a marriage of equal status isn't that popular.

However, when a woman chooses a partner,

she'll still go with someone suitable

or someone with a near-equal background.

If he's way out of her league,

she needs to spend a lot of effort.

Stop trying to intimidate her.

Isn't it better when a man is better than a woman

in every aspect?

Nowadays, it's popular for both sides

to be of equal status.

If so, does that mean you and your Qing

are of equal status?

What Qing?

He's just a young guy.

And he's the kind that I hate the most.

He's a mommy's boy.

I'm only doing this for Kele's sake...

Stop using Kele as your excuse.

Enough already. If you have time for such useless chatter,

you should use it

to learn how to make investments.

By the way, did you know something?

This lady over here

just bought another house in Binjiang, Yangpu, today.

You should treat us to a meal.

Cong, is that so?

Congratulations, then.

It's just a small apartment.

However, if I'm able to rent it out,

it can at least cover Kele's tuition fees.

Su Mo,

when it comes to relationships,

I can't give you any useful advice.

After all, I had a failed marriage.

However, when it comes to buying houses,

I do have some suggestions for you.

Sure.

Su Mo, I don't see it.

It's not on the desk.

This invoice is very important.

You have to get it reimbursed by today.

If not, it'll be too late.

To the right?

The bottom-most drawer?

Let me check it.

No. There's only a perfume for men.

The bottom-most?

Found it.

All right, I'm hanging up. Goodbye.

Mr. Wang?

Did you find it?

Yeah.

Do you need anything?

Ms. Liu, I found the invoice.

I'll give it to you right away, okay?

Cong buys houses

like how we buy vegetables in the market.

How brilliant she is.

Rong is different from us.

We need to rent a unit here in Shanghai.

She's a local.

She will get her hands on a house somehow.

Both her parents worked for public organizations.

They already had two houses from the start.

They gave one to their grandson.

Cong will earn

over 5,000 yuan per month just from collecting rent

somehow.

The new house she bought came with deluxe decorations, too.

She'll get at least 6,000 or 7,000 yuan from renting that out.

Her passive income

is much higher than what we earn.

Forget about the tax.

Passive income?

It's the kind of money that flows into her bank account

without her needing to do anything.

If I were her,

I would quit working.

The wage Ansheng provides to her

is just a little higher than what she earns

through renting out her houses.

The time cost itself isn't worth it as she needs to travel

back and forth.

Cong is so hardworking.

She's an outstanding person.

It's a shame that Rong

didn't find herself a good man.

Here's a secret.

Rong's ex-husband

was a typical mommy's boy.

That's why Rong hates Zhao Xiangqing.

I think

women like Cong

no longer need a marriage or a partner

to define themselves.

I can die without any regrets

if I could achieve what Cong has

in Shanghai.

That's why

you have to cherish your chance.

This might be your only opportunity.

Actually, that attorney is pretty good.

If it doesn't work out,

you can make him your second option.

What nonsense are you saying?

You should look after your baby.

I'm serious. You should consider it.

Mr. Zhou.

Su Mo?

This is the document you requested.

How could they let you run an errand like this?

Don't tell me the incident that happened in Jiake is happening again?

You have the right to reject

such personnel change if you want.

If you need my help, I can...

That's not it.

I came here of my own accord.

I'm here to apologize for what happened two days ago.

Have a seat.

-Excuse me. -Thank you.

So, you're here to apologize on Wang Ju'an's behalf?

Don't tell me you two are...

That's not it.

After all, I did invite you to my housewarming party.

I should take responsibility for what happened.

That's fine.

I understand how aggressive

a man can be

for the woman he likes.

Also, didn't you realize something?

If a person like Wang Ju'an is treating me as his imaginary rival,

that means I'm not too bad myself.

Don't you think?

To be honest, I can explain it to him

if it's necessary

so that he won't get us wrong.

No need for that.

I don't need to explain myself to him.

Are you sure? Don't you want to reconsider it?

Reconsider what?

Wang Ju'an was obvious in his intention

when we were at your house.

I am also curious

about your opinion.

Mr. Zhou,

would you say yes to him if you were in my shoes?

Are you asking me if I would accept it

if there's a beautiful and successful female CEO

who's courting me?

It's hard to say.

Let me put it this way.

Even if she's my cup of tea,

there are still many practical issues

I need to consider.

I understand you

and your feelings at the moment.

We came from a third-tier city

to find a better life here.

We're not just doing this in order to survive.

We have our own dreams and goals.

If you get together with someone like him,

people would call you a gold digger.

If so, all of our previous efforts

will be ignored.

If I were you,

I might not accept him.

From a lawyer's perspective,

marriage is an alignment of interests.

If the stronger party has a strong financial background,

the weaker party needs to put in more effort

to maintain the relationship.

If I have to choose,

I think I'll go with someone who has a background similar to mine.

First, she cannot come from a family that prioritizes sons.

Second, she cannot be a gold digger.

My concept should be the traditional marriage between families of similar social status.

If so,

will you make an exception if she's someone

you love very much?

I don't think so.

Although I'm not a professional in handling divorce cases,

I did handle a few of them.

There are too many cases where they fell out with each other

even though they used to love each other.

And I always thought

that the closer you are to someone,

the larger the damage

you can cause them if everything ends up going south.

I don't believe

that love can conquer all obstacles.

Of course, that's my personal opinion.

I cannot say the same for everyone.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, right?

(As I keep giving hints to Wang Ju'an)

(that he's someone I don't want to get involved with,)

(the one-month cool-down period he gave me)

(is nearing its end.)

(I still don't know)

(how I should answer him.)

(However, I'm getting clearer with the things I want.)

(I didn't work hard)

(to get into a relationship)

(where I have to compensate for my inferiority.)

(I'm doing it to find a better version of myself.)

Tell everyone to get two mitten crab gift boxes

before the team-building event ends.

Tell them to bring them back.

Okay. I'll request an additional budget from the Administration Department.

Okay.

Mr. Wang, please sign here.

Check the condition of the guest rooms in Ansheng Hotel.

Try to make arrangements for all of our employees to stay there.

Treat it as an employee benefit.

Let them stay in our hotel

and tell them to give us their feedback after the stay.

All right.

By the way, Mr. Wang,

you'll be participating in the team-building event yourself, right?

What did Ms. Zhang say?

Ms. Zhang never participated

in events of this level.

How could it be a team-building event

when none of the higher-ups are attending it?

Clear my schedule for those two days.

Yes, sir.
