=Episode 35=

I'm not in a good mood.

You see,

the acquisition plan worth billions

has gone down the drain.

The issues with the year-end report,

I have to take responsibility for it.

I can't justify it to the shareholders

or even myself.

Billions of dollars...

How can you remain so calm

and cook here as if nothing happened?

I don't want to

show it in front of you.

Come on.

Didn't you come to me

because you wanted someone

to talk to?

If you're willing to talk,

then let's chat.

This acquisition plan

was set last year.

I didn't even attend

a single shareholders' meeting.

Just to prevent leaks.

But in the end

the news still leaked.

The crucial part is

that we don't know how it leaked.

You guys must have

looked for professionals

to investigate it, right?

Of course, we did.

Every department has been investigated.

And the result was that

unless I revealed it myself,

there's no way outsiders could have known.

You see, to prevent leaks,

each department

only knew a part of the plan.

Could it be that I sleepwalked

and revealed it myself?

Of course,

there's another possibility.

That is, collective leakage.

That's what worries me.

Has the team I built

all these years

been bought over by the enemy?

I don't understand.

I really don't.

Hearing you talk like this

feels like a business warfare movie.

The plot in these movies

is far less cruel

than real life.

The business world is a battlefield.

Now you know,

it's not easy

being the Iron Lady for me.

You're right. Compared to you,

my troubles

are really trivial.

Let's see.

I've treated them so well.

How expensive Borman's consultation fee

can get,

you know that.

If it was really them

leaking the trade secrets,

I would take action

without hesitation.

Take action.

Without hesitation.

Sis,

let's put the knife down for now.

Scared you, huh?

Let's not talk about that.

It's boring.

Look at our beef.

It's almost done.

Here.

Give it a taste.

Xia, come and taste it.

See if it's seasoned enough.

Alright.

- Be careful, it's hot. - Here.

Be careful.

Okay.

See how it tastes.

Delicious, right?

Yes.

This used to be my specialty dish

at the restaurant.

Great.

Alright, let's dish it out.

It's done.

I'll turn off the heat first.

(You are qualified.)

(Please return to the center to print your results.)

Hurry up.

Yuan Yuan.

Help me!

What are you doing standing there?

Why do you look upset?

Are you not happy?

Let's just return the house.

What?

I said let's return the house.

Why would I

return the house?

Cheer up. Buying a house is a good thing.

Don't be like this.

Where did you get the money to buy the house?

Why didn't I know about it?

Was there a project that you earned it from?

Don't think about it.

I have my ways.

Let's go. Get in the car.

No, Jia Zhen,

I feel really insecure now.

It's already this late,

and such a big thing happened,

and you act like nothing's wrong.

How did you make the down payment?

Have you thought about who was

going to pay the monthly mortgage?

Why do I not know

about all this?

How you're acting now

makes me feel very insecure.

Do you know that?

Sense of security?

So, you want a sense of security?

Okay.

(Commercial House Sales Contract) The contract for the house purchase.

It's written in black and white.

This house is under both our names.

This is a sense of security!

You look at the savings

in your bank account.

Look at the balance.

That amount is a sense of security.

Do you understand?

That's not the sense of security I want.

What I want is for us to do

what we're supposed to do

and earn our money legally.

Even if the three of us

earn just a little money,

we'll happily lose sleep over it.

That's what I want.

That's the sense of security you both want!

Only you both will be so happy

to lose sleep over it.

Do you know how worried I am

every day?

Why are you telling me all this now?

This is all I can give you.

Do you want it or not?

Jia Zhen.

Don't you think this is all superficial?

(Recordings from Cai Shuojian of Human Resources)

You guys must have

looked for professionals

to investigate it, right?

Of course, we did.

Every department has been investigated.

And the result was that

unless I revealed it myself,

there's no way

outsiders could have known.

(Of course,)

(there's another possibility.)

(That is, collective leakage.)

That's what worries me.

Has the team I built

all these years

been bought over by the enemy?

How should I put it?

After working together for so many years,

she wouldn't just stand by if something happened to me.

Even if she knew,

she wouldn't say anything.

She and Jiang Siyan

only have a consulting relationship.

She's just an outsider.

Moreover, I've arranged everything perfectly.

Nothing will go wrong.

Okay.

Miss Liu.

Have some water.

Thank you.

You've been away for so long

and didn't even come back to visit us.

How have you been recently?

I'm doing fine.

And you?

Is your studio making good progress?

It's going okay.

That's good to hear.

Oh, right. Chen Xiaohua.

How is she doing now?

She visited Borman before.

And I recommended her

to go to your place.

I was wondering why she came

with the poster

of my TV program.

Right, I gave it to her.

Anyway, Mr. Yang has said

that any visitor who doesn't match

Borman's management philosophy

can be recommended to you.

Mr. Yang.

Organize the materials

and hand them to me this afternoon.

Alright, you guys talk.

You're here for Miss Wan's matter, right?

I've already made a phone call.

On this Saturday,

the volunteer group will go there

and I'll go along with them

to hand over the work.

Okay.

Let me know if you need anything.

It's been a while since I heard that phrase.

It feels like I'm back to the old days.

Mr. Yang.

Aoran Group

has transferred the psychological counseling business

to me now.

Yes, Wenjing told me about it.

Don't stress yourself out about it.

Whether it's with you or with me,

it's the same.

Besides, during Jiang Siyan's

first time here,

she wanted you right away.

Actually, Mr. Yang.

While I was organizing

the Aoran Group's materials,

I found some

hypnosis audio and videos

that weren't in the handover files.

Hypnosis recordings and videos

comply with Borman's regulations.

It should be there.

I really didn't see them.

This shouldn't have happened.

Oh, right.

The person currently managing

Borman's data room

is an old friend of yours.

I'll call her over

so you can talk to her.

Come to my office, please.

You definitely can't guess who it is.

Mr. Yang, you called for me?

Xie Yuan.

What are you doing here?

Liu Xia.

What's the matter?

Shouldn't you be happy

to see an old friend?

By the way,

Liu Xia is here today

to collect the Aoran Group's materials.

Please organize them and hand them to her.

You can leave early today.

So, you two old friends can catch up.

Mr. Yang.

While I was organizing

all the client consultation documents

as you asked,

there were too many documents,

so I took them home

to work on them.

I...

damaged the motherboard.

Who allowed you to take them home?

Don't you know

the rules of

Borman's data room?

If the data is leaked,

can you take responsibility for that?

I'm sorry, Mr. Yang.

Don't say sorry!

If you can work, then do it nicely.

If not, just scram!

Mr. Yang.

All of Borman's data

are backed up

in the data center.

Since this is the case,

you can organize it now.

I'll come to collect it in a few days.

I'll leave now.

I'm sorry.

You all think

I married well.

After graduating from university,

I was the first to get married and had a child.

But you all don't know

that I got divorced later on.

I haven't told anyone.

Please keep it a secret, okay?

So, what are your plans

for the future?

Take it one day at a time

and raise my child.

I applied for several jobs before,

but didn't get any offers.

Fortunately, Mr. Yang

took me in.

Regarding this matter,

I want to thank you as well.

If it wasn't for you

being my classmate,

Mr. Yang may not have hired me.

You were a hero

at Borman before.

He gave me a chance

because of you.

Please don't say that.

It's true.

Back when we were in college,

you always took care of me.

I never thought

that even after all these years,

I still rely on you.

Look, like today,

if you weren't here

so coincidentally,

I might have been

fired on the spot.

Mr. Yang got anxious just now,

but data

is really important.

Be more careful next time, okay?

Okay. I will.

Does she suspect anything?

No, she doesn't.

I've been complaining all along,

and she sympathizes with me.

Can I ask why?

Never do that.

Understood.

When the branch opens,

you'll be the new director there.

Thank you.

You can leave now.

Xia, you're here. Please have a seat.

Miss Wan.

What's wrong?

Miss Wan,

about the volunteers,

I hope you can refuse

Yang Youli's help.

Why?

I suspect his intentions this time

are not pure.

When I was at Borman before,

I approached him several times

about the volunteers,

but he refused.

This time, he took the initiative to come.

I feel it's not logical.

Also,

I suspect he has a hand in

Aoran Group's

business espionage.

What do you mean?

That is using hypnosis

to extract trade secrets

from the visitors.

Do you have any evidence?

I don't have that at the moment.

It's just my suspicion.

I haven't decided yet

whether to inform

the chairman of the Aoran Group

about this matter,

because this is quite

a severe issue.

If I made a mistake,

it might not end well.

What's there to worry about?

If you suspect something,

you should voice your suspicions.

Jiang Siyan

will make her own judgment.

As for Yang Youli,

before we

investigate the matter,

I won't

accept any help from him.

Don't worry.

Okay.

Rest assured.

I'll always support you.

I can't believe your brother.

How can he believe in rumors?

Now, he's playing a game of espionage with me.

I know.

He just doesn't trust me.

He said you two had a history.

It's just some silly thing from college.

Don't you understand?

Who doesn't have some

beautiful memories from college?

Let me tell you,

all the beautiful memories

from college

could vanish

because of some

cheesy conversation.

What cheesy conversation?

Tell me about it.

I can't put it into words.

I'm afraid it'll stick my mouth together.

Just say it.

I'll help you scrap the cheese away, okay?

You can't. It's too cheesy.

Let me tell you,

have some fruit to relieve the cheesy taste

and tell me later.

Wait a moment, I have to take a call.

(Hello?)

Hello, Xie Yuan.

(Liu Xia, um...)

(I have something to tell you.)

Go ahead.

(Those files that I took)

(from the data center,)

(I haven't backed them up,)

(so)

(the files are indeed lost.)

What?

No.

Aren't the files supposed to be

backed up daily in the data center?

(I just took over,)

(so I'm not very familiar with it yet.)

(I'm sorry.)

(I'm sorry, Liu Xia.)

(It wasn't me handling these previously.)

(I'm not really sure about it.)

Xie Yuan, tell me the truth.

Did you break that hard drive?

Are you hiding something from me?

(No, I am not.)

(Why would I hide something from you?)

(I don't even know)

(how I'm going to explain to Mr. Yang.)

(I have something else to do.)

(I'll hang up now.)

What's wrong?

Xie Yuan said

those files

haven't been backed up in the data center.

That's impossible.

Now those audio recordings and videos

have disappeared out of thin air.

I have a feeling

there's something fishy going on.

Yeah.

You need to be careful about Yang Youli.

I know.

Alright.

I'll handle this myself.

So, tell me about your matter.

Are you going to that class reunion?

If you go,

Jingyun will explode.

Let him explode.

Of course, I'll go.

I've done nothing wrong.

I'll see how long he can

be jealous silently.

I'll make him furious.

You two are such a love-hate couple.

I give up.

Mr. Qi.

Are you busy?

Not too bad.

The final two episodes' scripts for tonight

should be ready for the director.

I'm sorry.

During this period,

I caused everyone to work in vain.

It's okay.

Everything should

have its process, right?

Look, now

everything is going well.

It's smooth sailing.

Do you have time tonight?

I want to invite everyone for dinner

as a treat for everyone's hard work.

The ones who need it the most are

the screenwriters and editors.

Their workload is quite heavy.

I'm fine.

All the colleagues from the literary division will be there.

As a leader,

you should make an appearance

to boost morale.

The thing is, in the evening,

I usually go straight home.

Later, I'll

send you the address.

See you later!

Miss.

Do you need anything else?

No, it's fine. Thank you.

(Qi Lianshan)

Hello?

Are you stuck in traffic?

(I can't make it today.)

(You guys go ahead.)

Why?

I'm here waiting for you.

(You don't have to wait for me.)

(It's raining outside)

(and I have to pick up my girlfriend.)

(I'll hang up now.)

No, Qi...

(Underground street)

(Crab)

(Music and wine, we've got it all.)

Who should be in here?

What's the name?

A woman?

Who else hasn't acted yet?

Everyone who should have acted.

There's still one more.

Alright.

Good.

The name is

Liu Yao.

Yes.

I'm so clever. Liu Yao.

Alright, it's you.

Sister-in-law.

What's wrong?

He's going to kill again.

He's going to kill again.

What are you talking about?

He gave me all his savings

just now.

He's saying goodbye to me.

Luo Cheng.

He's going to kill someone.

Who is he killing? What is this?

Ten years ago, our daughter

was killed

and he killed them all.

(Patients come first.) Since she was born,

(Patients come first.) how many times have you cared for her?

All you talk about is the team.

It's all about the team.

You treat the team as your family.

But what about your own family?

You sacrifice your own family for the sake of the team!

Have you ever considered us?

Give me back my daughter.

Give me back my daughter.

Give her back to me.

Give me back my daughter.

Give me back my daughter.

Give her back to me.

Why?

Why?

What are you doing?

What are you washing?

Since then,

I already knew he had killed someone.

No matter how I persuade him, it's useless.

I said Tiantian wouldn't want to have

such a demon as her father.

But he wouldn't listen to anyone.

He's like a madman.

He talks to himself every day.

Oh, right.

This is what he asked me to give you.

He said there are the answers you need inside.

There's one more person he wants to kill.

Luo Cheng, go help him.

Hurry up.

Who is it?

He's the boss of a transport company.

His name is Feng Shaohua.

Luo Cheng, go quickly.

Hello.

(It's time to put an end to this.)

Why are you doing this?

(I'll send you the address.)

(Come to find me.)

(I'll tell you face to face.)

(I'm waiting for you to come.)

Hello.

Hello, Mr. Zhou, it's me, sir.

Look in the rearview mirror.

Two turns.

Keep reversing.

Turn back.

And then

another two rounds.

Hey, Bro.

(Hey, Shan.)

(Will you be home tomorrow?)

I'll be home. What's up?

(There's some new information.)

Let's talk about it when we meet tomorrow.

Alright.

Jin Ran said,

over the years that she's been making money,

there hasn't been much

substantial changes in her life.

That's true.

You see, she has been working for so many years.

But she has no car or house.

I thought that

she was saving up.

Who could have thought that

she has been taken advantage of for so many years.

No, bro, are you sure?

Liu Xia didn't

mention it before?

Or she did, but you

didn't pay attention?

She definitely didn't mention it.

Think about it.

She kept it hidden for so many years.

She didn't want me to know.

Fortunately, this Zhang Shun

is wanted by the police.

I'm not worried

that he will harass Xia.

But I'm worried

about her mental health problems.

What mental health problems?

After her mother's death,

she suffered from

post-traumatic stress disorder.

But she recovered later on.

Really, I'm not making it up.

Doctors and professors can confirm it.

She's completely fine now.

So, now you know

the situation.

Just like I told you

in the hospital,

we need to protect her.

She trusts you

and tells you everything now.

You have to clarify with her, okay?

That's decided, then.

Brother.

Why are you here?

I just happened to drop by to see you two

and to chat with Shan.

Why don't you stay for dinner?

I bought some food in the fridge.

I'll take it out and defrost it.

No. I have plans tonight.

You guys go ahead and eat. I'll leave first.

Goodbye, Shan.

Okay, bro.

Goodbye.

I'll treat both of you next time.

Goodbye.

What's wrong?

What did my brother talk to you about?

Your brother said

that you've been sending money to Zhang Shun.

Neither he nor Jin Ran knows that

how do you even know

someone like Zhang Shun.

Actually, I've been hiding it from everyone.

One reason is

I don't know how to explain it to people.

And I don't want to worry anyone.

If

the debt problem was solved

after your mother

passed away,

then why would

Zhang Shun keep pestering you?

It's because of me that my mother died.

I caused her death.

I've always

felt guilty about it.

I couldn't get over it

during that time.

I would lock myself

in my room every day.

Later, I went to see a doctor

and found out

that I had post-traumatic stress disorder.

I even forgot

many things from that time.

But I can never forget

the guilt I have toward my mother.

So, when Zhang Shun appeared,

it didn't matter if he scolded me

or asked for money,

I felt

that was heaven's punishment for me.

So, I kept indulging him

over and over again.

Gradually,

this became

a way for me to console myself.

I don't know if you understand

this feeling of mine.

Actually, Jingyun doesn't

understand my illness.

I'm not sure if I've gotten better.

I've been trying

to forget about this matter

and not think about it anymore.

But every time Zhang Shun

appears,

all of these things

are brought up

again and again.

Do you remember when I told you that

I received a

young girl as a visitor?

I remember.

Her situation is similar to mine.

So, I really hope that

in the process of healing her,

I can heal myself as well.

What's the matter with this contract?

What's the matter?

You took a project

in Shanshan's name,

is that right?

What's wrong?

Did you tell him?

Tell him what?

I did this project

with an outside screenwriter,

it has nothing to do with him.

You should have at least told him

and asked for his consent.

No, he also acted in my name

when he was doing things outside.

He didn't get my consent either, did he?

Isn't that right?

And I've generated so much money

over the years.

I haven't caused him any losses.

Why are you arguing unreasonably?

I don't want to argue with you about this.

I'm busy. I...

Okay, then.

I'll talk to him, alright?

Pay him the royalties according to the contract.

Fine. Give him the payment.

Using what? A room?

Bedroom or living room?

Which one do you plan to give him?

Yuan Yuan.

Don't make trouble for me here.

I'm really busy.

The clients are

requesting a script change.

They want me to join the production team.

I joined the team,

but nobody even looked at me.

They asked for Mr. Qi

to personally make the changes.

The screenwriter Mr. Qi.

What should I do?

If Mr. Qi refuses to make the changes,

I'll have to compensate them using the house.

Okay, then.

I'll go find Shanshan, alright?

Okay. Go ahead.

Go talk to Mr. Qi

and see if he has time

to make changes to the script for you.

Yuan Yuan.

Why are you here?

Long time no see.

I came to see you.

Come.

Sit down.

How have you been? Is everything alright?

I'm doing fine. What about you guys?

Your brother

encountered a small problem.

What problem?

He took a private project

in your name.

I found out about it

after something went wrong.

Now, the production company has started filming,

and the director has joined the crew.

When he signed the contract,

he didn't let me see it.

There was a clause inside saying

that if the director wants the screenwriter

to join the crew,

the screenwriter must go.

Your brother went to the set last week,

the production company didn't even see him

and sent him away.

So?

The project was taken in your name,

so the production company

requested for you to make the changes.

If they don't see you tomorrow,

they will sue your brother.

Oh, I see.

Which project is it?

The Republican Legend. The one in Guangzhou.

I know about that project.

I talked about it with my brother before.

He really likes it.
