[Ten Years]

[Episode 5 Ulterior Motives]

Bing, the latest progress.

Plan B is going smoothly.

Miss Wang.

Your latte.

Thank you.

What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?

It's not that.

You know it. The competition for graduate school is fierce.

And my work isn't going well.

I just want to be more stable.

At least I can get a raise in my salary.

Actually, our company's major product

is the frequency controller for water supply equipment.

Our recent profits and performance

haven't been very good.

Your company sells frequency controllers?

Perfect.

One of our businesses

is also to sell large water purification equipment.

We can cooperate.

Really?

Yes.

That's great.

But

our company is also involved in the real estate business.

So, we may not have enough money.

Is the real estate company still short of money?

Of course, many projects are stuck.

It's okay.

We can discuss a draft first.

We can discuss the details

if we decide to cooperate on some projects.

Okay.

Brother,

I'm going to Beijing in a few days.

So I want to give my boss some advice.

He's also a real estate investor

and will also invest in some industries.

Now he has a problem.

Should he use his limited funds

to bid for land

or continue to invest in industries?

Do you have any good advice for me?

Well,

you've come to the right person.

I'm in this industry.

Then give me some,

OK?

Okay.

Then I'll use our company as an example

to tell you how to invest.

First of all, to invest,

you need to grab the chance.

Miss Wang.

Why don't we find

somewhere quiet and drink more?

I don't think I can make it today.

My boyfriend is here to pick me up.

How about we meet another day?

I'll be waiting.

I gotta go. Bye.

Bye.

That's it.

Thank you.

Bye.

Bye.

This woman.

And you accused me of hiding something.

Why is it so quiet today?

Maybe it's because someone has booked the whole place.

The next song

is my favorite.

I think that girl

would like this song too.

♫ Hearing the sound of winter's footsteps fading away ♫

♫ I woke up in a certain month of a certain year ♫

♫ I think, I wait, and I look forward to it ♫

♫ But the future can't be arranged because of this ♫

♫Cloudy day, in the evening, outside the car window♫

♫ Someone is waiting for you in the future ♫

♫ Look to the left, to the right, and forward ♫

♫ How many turns does love take to come? ♫

♫ Who will I meet, and what will we say? ♫

♫ When will the man I'm waiting for come? ♫

♫ I hear the wind from the subway and the crowd ♫

♫ I queued up, holding the number plate for love ♫

I really want to be your friend.

Can I?

Order anything you want. All on me.

How about the whole package?

Is this a trap?

Don't get me wrong.

Actually,

I just want to apologize to your best friend, Wu Zhiyun.

This is a little gift I bought

for you. That's all.

Since you're so sincere,

I'll help you.

I didn't do it for this purse.

I just want meat.

Got it.

Waiter, the whole set.

Okay.

Here, Miss Wang, please.

Why did you invite me to dinner today?

I want to introduce you to two friends.

Have a seat.

They'll be here soon.

I don't think I need to introduce this one.

Then the second one.

I think you should be able to guess who he is.

You're all here.

Let me introduce.

This is

the chairman of our Xiaoshou Group,

Qin Xiaoshou.

This lady here

knows me and our Secretary Hu.

She is Wang Ran.

She is the chairman's assistant to our competitor,

Xintai Real Estate.

Welcome.

Hello, Mr. Qin.

It's a pleasure to finally meet you!

Miss Wang is so calm.

You really have the aura of a general.

Mr. Qin, stop making fun of me.

I'm just

a girl with nothing special.

I only have some street smarts

to earn credits from Director Yan.

I've learned the meaning of

a blessing in disguise.

It's my honor

to know Mr. Qin, Secretary Hu, and Consultant Shi again.

I'm very happy.

Miss Wang has a ready tongue.

You're so eloquent.

Mr. Qin, I have to say.

I really admire the buildings you built in Shapingba District.

It's surrounded by mountains and rivers.

And the mountain pass is round.

In Feng Shui, it's called Mount Jinxing.

Digging out a lake means gathering water at the gate.

The most amazing thing

is the road that runs through the compound

like a jade belt.

In Feng Shui, it's called a jade belt around the waist.

Listen.

You always complain that the road has too many bends and curves

and looks weird.

Do you understand now?

Miss Wang, I'm impressed.

I admire you.

Miss Wang,

I also put a lot of thought

into these buildings.

In terms of Feng Shui,

it's called "The mountain attracts Loong to rest here with its head rising;

its water beards around the place;

the front is broad for blessing;

the river outlets hoard wealth."

"Yao Yanluan, from the Qing Dynasty...

Compilations of Where to Build a House"

Here, Miss Wang.

Cheers.

Mr. Qin.

Miss Wang,

I admire you very much.

How about coming to work for me?

I can triple your salary.

Why don't you ask Mrs. Yan

how much she pays me?

No matter how much she pays you,

I'll pay you five times more.

What do you think?

If I said yes now,

I would look insincere.

Why don't you give me more time

to think about it?

Think about it?

Should I interpret this as a genuine consideration

or a polite rejection?

Mr. Qin, let me toast you again.

You're something.

Originally, I asked you out to see you make a fool of yourself.

However, you turn this in your favor.

Brother, it's all because you're broad-minded.

Enough of those pretty words.

You must be cursing my whole family

in your heart, right?

Brother, don't say that.

Don't blame me.

Our Mr. Qin

has already gotten your information.

You underestimated him.

It was he who asked me

to invite you today.

Let go. Stop playing games.

I really admire you.

I'm afraid you'll suffer losses.

Brother,

what makes you think I'll lose?

As an investment consultant,

I can tell you the absolute truth.

To obtain the actual harvest,

you need to pay in an actual way.

In this society,

people with capital make money with their capital.

Those who are without it...

What would they do?

Those without capital have to pay the price if they want to make money.

Don't fantasize about returns if you don't have capital.

Why did you drink so much today?

The plan I told you last time failed.

Then, is your situation worse than mine?

Not really. I don't have to resign.

So you're fine.

You're amazing.

You can still face it with a smile.

As long as you think it's right,

you have to face it with a smile.

Nice.

Let me walk you upstairs.

No need.

I didn't drink much.

Don't forget that I'm the God of Wine.

I'm going home.

[Erxiang Road]

Bye.

[Can't you go by yourself, honey?]

[Didn't I tell you not to speak like your dad?]

Ranran, you're back.

I'm back.

Ranran, what's wrong?

I'm fine.

Are you okay?

Ranran, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Have some?

I'm in.

Good friends.

Cheers.

Wait.

Why did you drink so much?

They set a trap, trying to see me make a fool of myself.

But I outdrank them all.

God of Wine, Wang Ran. You deserve your reputation.

But why do you work so hard?

[January 2009]

Mom.

Mom.

It's my birthday today.

Don't you see I'm busy?

Eat yourself.

You promised to celebrate it with me today.

And you said you would give me a dress.

Next time.

I'll buy it for you next time.

Next time?

You always say next time.

Why are you yelling at me?

You think I don't want to buy it for you?

You think it's that easy for me to make money?

Ranran.

Ranran.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

It's getting late.

Let's finish this and rest early.

Okay.

I'm going to bed.

You rest early.

Okay.

Don't eat spicy strips. It's not good for your body.

Okay.

Mom.

The skirt I promised.

Go to school.

I'm tired.

[Office of the Director of the News Department]

So we only got 100,000 yuan?

No, we didn't get any.

I also returned the 100,000 yuan.

What? You hold a grudge?

Yes, but I came to you this time

to tell you

I've finished my handover.

Fine, young people

will always choose some...

Mr. Fang,

I don’t need that chicken soup.

Thank you for taking care of me during this time.

What you need to do is take Qin Xiaoshou.

♫ Envy the courage in your heart ♫

Of course, if it's done,

I'll reward you with 5%

of the spare amount.

♫ Counting every warm scene ♫

[Dust]

[News Department]

♫ The remaining warmth on my lips ♫

♫ I'll admit what I said ♫

♫ From now on ♫

♫ The two different people ♫

♫ What is waiting for us is an expedition ♫

♫ There are always infinite possibilities ♫

♫ No matter what stop we make ♫

♫ I'll always look back ♫

♫ Us ♫

♫ Those we have been through ♫

[News Department]

♫ We all admit it later ♫

Bing, it's not about money.

♫ The story has gone far ♫

I don't think it's a good idea.

♫ We go our separate ways ♫

Your task is not to judge,

but to execute.

♫ About the future me ♫

Bing made herself very clear.

♫ Me, push away the fairness ♫

If I can't make this collaboration work,

I can't even keep my job.

♫ I'm always partial to you ♫

♫ If it's possible ♫

♫ to protect you ♫

♫ What is waiting for us is an expedition ♫

♫ There are always infinite possibilities ♫

Lin Yicheng.

Mr. Li.

You didn't choose to stay in the end.

I'm going out right now.

You have two minutes to choose.

First, leave and find a new job.

Second, join the entertainment department

and work fore me.

Thank you, Mr. Li.

Thank you.

Fourth floor, first room on your left.

Got it.

Please.

I heard Miss Wang is talented.

Can you help me see my paintings and calligraphy here?

This spring morning in bed I'm lying; Not to awake till birds are crying.

After one night of wind and showers; How many are the fallen flowers?

Brother Qin also likes the poem "Spring Morning".

Every elementary school student can recite this poem.

Miss Wang, you don't find the poem shallow?

It doesn't mean shallow.

The first verse is about awakening consciousness.

The second awakening hearing.

The third awakening memory.

And the last verse means pity.

I didn't expect you to understand it so thoroughly.

I really admire you.

Here.

What do you think of Tang poetry?

People always say Tang poetry is bold and unconstrained.

But I think

Tang poetry

can evoke the most compassionate feelings.

Personally, my favorite poem is

"On the Tower at Youzhou" by Zhen Zi'ang.

Miss Wang likes this poem too.

Please go to the study.

Okay.

Where are the great men of the past; And where are those of future years?

The sky and earth forever last; Here and now I alone shed tears.

I wrote it.

Compassion for the ancient and modern worlds, which makes the viewer feel moved.

Put "Spring Morning" in the hall

and this one in the study.

It's very exquisite.

I really admire you.

I didn't expect

that Miss Wang would know the truth about

"from shallow to deeper."

Cheers!

Lin, you're still here?

Boss,

I've revised the press release

and sent it to your phone.

Okay.

You work overtime on your first day.

Thank you.

It's my duty.

Go back as soon as you finish your work.

Boss.

Thank you.

It's all fate.

What's wrong?

Don't come over.

What happened?

What's wrong?

I'm traumatized.

What trauma?

I was hurt before.

When I joined the company,

the people I met were all particularly vulgar.

The truth is,

I'm here with a mission this time.

Bing said if I can't get the cooperation this time,

she'll dismiss me.

As for the cooperation,

with you,

we can make it.

The cooperation is finally settled.

But the way used is the one I hate the most.

Although Bing forced me,

I compromised.

The price is that I made a mistake that I shouldn't have made.

It makes me regretful

and scared.

Lin Yicheng.

♫ In the dark sky ♫

♫ occasionally flicker ♫

♫ your deep eyes ♫

♫ When flowers fall ♫

♫ I don't know where the relentless water flows ♫

♫ The most beautiful scene is a rainbow on a sunny day ♫

♫arond the world♫

♫ Watching the kite quietly fly in the blue sky ♫

♫ I wish I could see you again ♫

♫I wish I could do it again ♫

What's wrong?

I have good news for you.

♫ I wish I could have that day again ♫

What is it?

I nailed

the project I told you about before.

Really?

I have good news for you.

I can stay.

♫ I've been thinking about the possibility ♫

I'm a regular employee now and have joined the entertainment department.

To be an entertainment reporter?

It's hard.

♫ There's no need to say ♫

All things are hard.

♫ I hope we can meet again ♫

Next week, the end of the world.

See you at the Shikeya.

See you at the end of the world.

See you at the end of the world.
