[Ten Years]

[Episode 18 All Bravery Stems From Love. All Coincidences Arise From Anticipation.]

I blamed myself for Chen Tao being imprisoned.

But what I could do

is to visit Liu Ke and the child often.

Liu Ke told me not to worry.

She said responsibility would make a boy become man.

Because the prison guard told her

that Chen Tao said having a child made him finally realized

how naive and ridiculous he was

for pretending to be a gangster before.

In the blink of an eye, it was already 2018.

Little Tao is already one year old.

Liu Ke, you've been taking a lot of leaves recently.

The teachers are complaining.

Moreover, your patience with the children

isn't as good as before.

Parents also have complaints.

I'll apologize to them.

Ke,

don't you understand what I mean?

If you voluntarily resign,

it sounds much better than us firing you.

OK.

I see.

Over the past year,

Principal, you have already

taken good care of me.

Thank you.

Alright, Ke,

why don't you take the day off today

and go home for now.

Thank you.

Young people in big cities are too tired.

So, youth apartments not only fulfill the need for affordable housing,

but also facilitate the establishment of new social circles.

There's no problem with the trend.

However,

we don't know about the initial plan yet.

So we have to cut costs.

Brilliant.

Cautious financial plans

can go further.

Wanting the horse to run without feeding it grass.

Bing, good for you.

You're becoming more and more talkative.

Hi, Ranran.

Kai?

Bing.

After an initial period of adjustment,

the company has gradually entered the right track.

Coincidentally, the government launched

entrepreneurship activities targeting small and medium-sized enterprises,

providing an integrated platform

for exhibitions, discussions, promotions, competitions, and training.

With the help of this platform,

the company has been developing rapidly.

However, as the company grows bigger,

new issues have also emerged.

Tell me.

We just reached an agreement with them.

Why are you changing your job at this time?

What do you mean?

Nothing.

What does your agreement have to do with me?

You actually have the nerve to say that?

If the company hadn't trained you,

if it weren't for Lin Yicheng and me,

you wouldn't be where you are today.

Didn't I make money for the company?

She never sold herself to your company, did she?

Shut up, Deng Shu.

Do you have a say in this matter?

Mr. Lin hired you himself.

And now you're betraying us.

We have a cooperative relationship.

Mr. Lin.

Mr. Lin, you agreed

when Shanshan wanted to leave.

Are you going back on your word now?

Of course not. You can leave.

But Shanshan,

are you really not going to think about it anymore?

I've made up my mind. I'm sorry, Mr. Lin.

OK.

I have something else to do. I won't see you off.

Take care.

Goodbye.

Get back to work.

What about the sales?

You just let her go?

If everyone were to do as she does,

what would happen to the company?

How can I manage these broadcasters?

Say something!

I reminded you last month,

that Shanshan is ambitious. You didn't listen to me.

I'll scold you if you don't speak.

I heard you.

And?

And I will settle this matter

as soon as possible.

So do you choose to trust me

or keep scolding me?

I choose to keep scolding you.

Ranran, here's a little gift for you.

Thank you. I really like it.

You're welcome.

Ranran.

Let's hang out

when we have time.

What do you think about Thailand?

Kai,

recently, I have been involved with Bing

in preparing for the youth apartment project,

so I may not have as much time available.

Ranran.

I think you should solely focus on the affairs

of our guarantee company for now

and temporarily set aside

the tasks related to Bing.

It's not necessary to work so hard for just this amount of money.

Kai!

We discussed from the beginning of our relationship

that I would have my own time and my own work.

That's not what I meant.

I didn't mean to interfere.

I just want to say,

don't waste our time

on this trivial thing.

We meet every day.

And recently, if you want to pick me up,

you can text me in advance,

and tell me.

I'm here having a conversation with Bing,

and you just came in directly.

I have a business meeting tonight.

I can't go to the birthday party with you.

So I came to you directly.

Is that not OK?

Alright.

I was wrong, okay?

I'll wait for you in the car next time.

Okay?

Remember.

Hello, uncle.

Lin, come in.

-Liu Ke. -This one.

Hello, Cheng.

Big demon.

Lin, you guys talk.

I’ll help your aunt in the kitchen.

Okay.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Little Tao,

do you miss me?

I'm here to see you.

Say "kin father".

You are one year old, right?

You're getting prettier.

By the way,

[Smart]

this is a gift from your kin father.

This one is from Aunt Dayu.

Say thank you to your kin father.

This one is from your Uncle Qiu.

Here, take it.

Take it.

Take it.

Good girl.

Good girl.

Great.

Little Tao.

Little Tao.

Great!

That's enough.

Uncle, auntie,

thank you for your hard work recently.

A toast to you.

Cheers.

Lin,

we are just doing what we should do.

You're a good kin father.

It's just that

Little Tao's biological father...

Unfortunate choice of man leads to the suffering of the child.

Let's eat, okay?

What's wrong with me talking about it?

Am I wrong?

Are you done?

Every time my friends come over, you have to talk about it.

You talk about it

with all of my friends who come here.

Don't you think you've gone too far?

I have gone too far?

And not you?

Your dad and I raised you up,

but you came to Chongqing.

Isn't that "gone too far"?

You only told us

after the baby was born.

And now, you've lost your job.

How did you know?

I have your principal's phone number.

Your principal already said

in your situation,

it's best for you to go back to the Northeast with us,

to go home.

Your dad and I have travelled so many times

between Chongqing and the Northeast in the past one year.

Thousands of kilometers!

What about now?

Yes, I was fired.

I was wondering why the principal emphasized the importance of family,

and it turns out you went and talked to her about it.

Getting married and having children

were both voluntary decisions on my part.

I've never regretted it.

But I regret it.

I regret bringing you into this world.

Uncle, auntie,

she can always find a new job,

right?

Let's eat.

That's right.

Out with the old, in with the new, right?

Uncle, auntie.

During this period,

you've been doing lots of things.

I understand.

Please calm down.

Uncle, auntie,

today is Little Tao's first birthday.

Let's set work aside for now.

Right?

How about this?

Let me take a group photo for all of you.

Sure.

Come here, auntie.

Sit in the middle.

Uncle, this way.

Ke.

Come here.

Come on.

Come on.

Cheer up. Smile.

Little Tao,

look over here.

Come on.

Smile.

Come on, look here.

Smile.

Three, two, one.

Cheese!

Ke,

if you need any help in the future,

just let me know.

How about this?

Come to work in my company.

You can do anything you want.

I think I'll look for another kindergarten

and keep doing my old job.

Fine.

If things don't go well,

tell me.

With you and Ranran,

I won't worry about work.

Alright, go back now.

Don't see me off. I'm leaving.

-Bye. -Bye.

Be careful.

Ke.

I agree with you finding a kindergarten job,

but make sure not to choose one with poor conditions.

Don't compromise yourself.

Don't worry.

Don’t worry about me.

Ever since Tao went to prison,

I understood that

I must be strong.

Because I'm already a mother.

A mother is always strong.

Tao used to be my mountain.

Now I have to be Little Tao's mountain.

That's good. I'm relieved.

By the way,

I didn't ask you because of Lin Yicheng.

Why did Li Wenkai not come?

He has work to do today, so he didn't come.

Ranran, tell me the truth.

What's wrong with you two?

He treats me well.

We just have some small conflicts in life.

But it's normal.

As long as he treats you well.

It's getting late.

I'll go back now.

I'll see you off.

Ke, I'm leaving.

Take care of yourself and Tao.

Bye.

Bye.

Hello.

Ranran, when are you coming back?

I'll be back soon.

I just left her house.

How long do you need?

I'll be back soon.

Bye.

Ranran.

I know today is Little Tao's birthday party.

But I had a social engagement tonight.

I couldn't go.

It's okay.

Didn't I already tell you

that work takes priority?

Don't be angry.

I'm not angry.

You don't have to apologize to me.

After all,

it was the birthday party of your best friend's daughter.

Little Tao's first birthday is not a big deal.

Besides, I went there.

What does Little Tao look like now?

Let me see.

Okay.

Let me show you.

Look at Little Tao.

Isn't she cute?

Look, she's smiling so happily.

Shanshan's individual clout

can surpass

the combined clout of other anchors.

With her departure,

we have suddenly lost a significant portion of our influence,

and the company is now facing immediate challenges.

Who asked you to make that decision?

Yes, Lin.

What happened?

One cannot stop the rain from falling, or a woman from getting married.

I couldn't keep her, that's just how it is.

Didn't you sign the competition agreement with her?

Yes, I did.

You did?

So why did she have the courage to leave?

Breaking the contract,

well, it's just a matter of a few hundred thousand.

She has made her position clear,

and I have also expressed mine—

I won't sue her.

You're quite generous.

Isn't "a few hundred thousand" not money?

Mr. Lu, do you have the courage to accept the money?

Netizens are emotional now.

You hired her.

You insisted on cultivating her.

You're responsible for negligence.

Of course, I won't avoid the problem.

I will solve this matter as soon as possible.

Okay.

Two beers.

Good!

Good!

This is from the brother downstairs.

Thank you.

Thank you.

[Divorce Agreement, Party A: Chen Tao]

Daughter.

You went to see him?

Yes, he has signed it.

[Signature of Party A: Chen Tao, November 12, 2018]

Daughter, listen to me.

Sign it.

We didn't force him.

We really didn't force him.

And here.

It's his letter to you.

Read it yourself.

[Ke]

This...

Daughter, you...

How many times have I told you?

I won't divorce him.

Chen Tao is my man.

As long as he is here,

I won't leave.

Yes, he is in prison.

That's also a prison in Chongqing.

You...

He is in Chongqing.

I am in Chongqing.

Our home is in Chongqing.

Liu Ke.

We raised you up.

Did we mean to hurt you?

We can't let you

waste your life on that punk.

We also can't just watch,

watch you being held back by this convict

for the rest of your life!

Yes.

My dear daughter.

You have lost your job now.

Why do you have to stay here?

Don't be too stubborn.

I can find another job.

Liu Ke, you useless thing.

Your dad and I worked so hard to bring you up.

How can you let us down?

Mom,

dad,

thank you.

I won't trouble you anymore.

In the past, I endured

when you spoke ill of Chen Tao,

and I also endured when you criticized me.

But when it comes to my own affairs, I want to make my own decisions.

Even if I have to divorce him,

I'll do it by myself.

Please go back to the Northeast tomorrow.

This...

I'm sorry.

Uncle, auntie, you're a family.

What can't you overcome?

Don't say anything.

Let's pretend that we don't have this child.

Alright, let's stop talking about that.

Uncle, auntie, don't worry.

I've hired a nanny for Ke.

She's reliable and meticulous.

I'll take care of Ke from now on.

Thank you, Ranran.

Thank you.

Uncle, auntie, be careful on the road.

OK.

Li Wenkai, what are you doing?

Are you checking my phone?

Ranran, I was wrong.

I'm just worried about you.

About what about me?

I want to see what you've been busy with recently,

and see if I can help you.

So you checked my phone?

I don't think it's that important.

You can check my phone anytime.

So you think if you let me check your phone,

you'll have the right to check my phone?

I just don't think it's that sensitive.

It's not about being sensitive, Li Wenkai.

This is about basic respect.

I respect you,

your life,

and your work.

You should also respect me.

I tolerated your interference

in my work before,

but now you're interfering in my personal life too?

How old are you?

Don't you understand that everyone has their own independent space?

Ranran, I was wrong.

I'm really sorry.

Can you forgive me this time?

I promise this is the last time.

I'm really sorry.

Chen Tao,

your handwriting is pretty good.

My handwriting has always been pretty.

My parents have left.

I forced them to leave.

It was my decision.

It has nothing to do with them.

The divorce agreement has been torn up by me.

I'll write another one.

You caved in as soon as my parents pressured you, is that right?

I said,

my decision has nothing to do with them.

Chen Tao, you are a coward.

Do you have any responsibility?

Do you? Do you?

I'm asking you.

It's useless to force me.

What do you mean?

It's useless.

Little Tao.

She already can say daddy days ago.

Let me tell our daughter

you don't want us anymore.

I'll tell our daughter that you don't want us anymore.

I'll tell her.

OK?

Say something!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Ke.

I have to think about your parents.

I have to think about you and our child.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

Chen Tao,

from the first day I was with you,

I've never flinched.

Why did you flinch?

Why did you flinch?

You can divorce me.

Come out and divorce me.

Come out and I'll divorce you.

Come out!

You're a coward.

Such a coward.

Okay.

Take care of our child,

and wait for me outside.

This is Zhou.

She'll take care of Little Tao from now on.

This is Liu Ke,

Little Tao's mother.

Hello, Ke.

Hello.

Thank you for your help.

It's my pleasure.

I'll go back and get ready today,

and come to work tomorrow.

I'm leaving.

Thank you, Zhou.

How much does it cost a month?

Not much.

Don't worry about it.

I'm Little Tao's kin mother.

Okay.

However,

Zhou needs to have a rest once a week,

then it will be your turn to work hard on that day.

Thank you.

You don't have to thank me.

I went to see Chen Tao today.

And?

I scolded him.

What a coincidence.

I scolded Li Wenkai.

What happened to him?

He was peeking at my phone.

Isn't that too much?

It's okay.

Anyway, I scolded him.

You want to hire Zhou Yu?

Yes, he is talented.

And he was a celebrity before.

He has fans.

What kind of celebrity was he?

He wasn't that popular before.

And now, no one knows him even if you throw him on the street.

Xin Ya, listen to me...

Besides, he has a bad reputation.

Lin Yicheng, you need to grasp the key point.

The point is not that you want to hire an outdated celebrity.

The point is, he is Zhou Yu.

I was his manager before.

I know him best.

But I think he has changed.

The following song "Love-Forgetting Water"

is dedicated to my most beloved brother.

Good!

Actually,

I'm not here to discuss whether or not he should join.

I met him before,

and invited him.

He rejected me.

He is afraid,

afraid of the switch in your role.

So I need your help on this.

Hello?

Hello, we read your resume.

I think this position suits you.

Are you available for the interview today?

Sure, sure.

I'm available.

Okay, our company is in Chengdu.

Can you make it today?

Chengdu?

OK, sure.

No problem.

Let's talk later.

Okay.

Thank you.

Okay, bye.

You're here.

I'm here to see Little Tao.

Ke went for an interview.

Zhou is on leave today.

So I'm here to take care of Little Tao.

Where's uncle and auntie?

They went back to the Northeast.

Are you going to stand here forever?

Little Tao, do you miss me?

Do you miss me?

What are you doing?

What is this?

Little Tao.

What is this?

Little Tao.

What is this?

Is it a ball?

-Where's the ball? -The ball is gone.

It's gone.

It's gone.

See?

-It's gone. Where did it go? -It's not here.

It's here.

Here!

It's gone.

If there's nothing else,

I'll leave now.

Okay.

Bye, Little Tao.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Say bye to your kin father.

Good girl.

Bye.

Good girl.

-Let's keep playing, okay? -Okay.

Come on.

Goal!

Great!

Give me five!

You must be hungry.

I'll go grocery shopping and cook.

Lin Yicheng!

Where did he go?

Where is the ball?

Come on, throw the ball.

You are missing your mom, right?

She'll be back soon.

Be a good girl.

She'll be back soon, Little Tao.

Mommy will be back soon. Be a good girl.

Be good.

She'll be back soon.

Xin Ya?

Eat something first.

I'll coax her first. You eat first.

Do you want to eat?

If you don't want to eat,

let's sing first, okay?

OK.

I'm a little expert in selling newspapers.

I know.

You sing so well.

Little what? Little red bird!

Look.

I'm done.

Give her to me. I'll coax her.

Okay.

Let your kin father coax you, OK?

-Here. Come on. -Go to your kin father.

Let me take the ball.

-Come on. -Come on.

Good girl. Little Tao is a good girl.

Let me hold you.

Do you want to see this?

Ball, here.

Here.

Ball.

Hold the ball.

You should eat first.

Who's this?

Zhou Yu,

I came here to tell you three things today.

First,

I was indeed reckless

and immature

when I was working for you.

I apologize to you here.

I hope you can accept it.

It's all in the past.

Well said. It's all in the past.

The second thing is about what happened in the past.

I, as a woman, can let go,

but you, as a grown man, can't?

Are you being too narrow-minded?

You know what?

When Mr. Lin was in the TV Station,

he was at the news department.

I had a conflict with him.

Then he was kicked out of the news department,

and that has something to do with me.

But you see? Nowadays?

The third thing

is very important to you.

Let me ask you.

How much do you monthly earn now?

20,000?

30,000?

When you become a broadcaster in the company,

you'll earn more than you do now.

All right.

I'm done talking.

Think about it.

Xin Ya,

I apologize to you.

I'm sorry.

Ke,

Now I know how hard it is for you.

Little Tao is crying so hard.

When are you coming back?

My interview hasn't finished yet.

Wait for me, Ranran.

You must wait for me!

Thank you.

Okay,

I see. Bye.

It's okay, Little Tao.

Mommy will be back soon.

Be a good girl. Stop crying.

Stop crying.

Stop crying.

Let me hold her.

Come to me.

Stop crying.

Stop crying.

Stop crying, okay?

Stop crying.

Stop crying.

The power is out.
