(My Boss)

(Episode 32)

(I, Qian Heng, trust Cheng Yao unconditionally.)

I'm sorry about Wu Jie's case.

It was all my fault.

I'll resign as soon as possible.

Resign?

I know you were wronged just now.

Take a break first. Don't rush.

You should know Junheng & Co is a team.

Even if something big happens,

Qian Heng and I will stand with you to solve the problem.

Besides, I already understand the ins and outs of this matter.

The loss of evidence was just an accident. It wasn't a mistake.

And your abilities did not let this incident

affect the final judgment.

Even if it was a lawyer's mistake,

we won't use your resignation as a solution.

Thank you for understanding me.

Actually, being able to know you

and receiving your help and guidance

has been one of the biggest gains for me at Junheng & Co.

It's not because of Wu Jie that I want to resign.

Then, it's because of Lawyer Liang.

There's no need for it, Cheng Yao. She just joined the law firm.

We are still in a stage of mutual adaptation.

I know she didn't handle this matter very well.

I'll talk to her later. I'll chat with her.

Actually, when I first became a lawyer,

my dream was to one day

be able to work at Junheng & Co.

So no matter how hard the work was, I never had the thought of giving up.

But now it seems like everything I do

is labeled as Qian Heng's girlfriend,

not as Cheng Yao, the lawyer.

You don't have to persuade me.

I know you may not understand.

But I have to leave.

If I continue to stay here,

even if I do a lot of things, they won't be seen.

I'm sorry, Cheng Yao. This is my fault.

I didn't manage the law firm well and caused you to suffer.

That's not what I meant.

Cheng Yao,

since you joined the law firm,

I have been paying close attention to you.

I have seen your growth.

I also understand your thoughts.

I don't want you to leave because of some personal agenda.

It's because my buddy has finally found the right person.

I hope you two can be together for a very long time.

Junheng & Co is where you two started.

I don't want you two to end here.

Of course, if it's about a superior-subordinate relationship,

I hope you can spread your wings and fly high, achieve your dreams,

and become the kind of lawyer you want to be.

Thank you, Lawyer Wu.

Before making a decision, calm down first.

Listen to others' opinions and thoughts.

I can give you three options.

First, you can apply for a leave of absence.

During your leave, I will take care of everything.

Second, I can transfer you back to Qian Heng's team.

He has a lot of international cases now and travels a lot.

You don't have to come to the law firm every day.

Third,

if you really want to resign,

I can also give you a recommendation letter.

I will consider it carefully.

Cheng Yao, I am not only your boss,

but also your family.

Keep going.

You can do it.

(Resignation Letter)

(Applicant: Cheng Yao)

(Sender: Cheng Yao)

Before making a decision, calm down first.

Listen to others' opinions and thoughts.

(Where are you?)

What's wrong?

Why are you still sleeping?

I was looking at the case for too long

and got a little tired.

(But when I saw you, I was revived.)

What's wrong?

Do you need your boyfriend, Qian Heng

or your boss, Lawyer Qian?

Both are at your service.

It's nothing. I'm just hungry.

I want you to accompany me when I cook noodles.

(Okay.)

Then, I'll start eating.

(Resignation Letter)

Look, which lipstick shade is suitable for Tan Ying?

Number 16 or 60?

Do you see any difference?

Are you blind?

The difference is huge.

Then, what is this color?

Bright red.

And this one?

Crimson.

I shouldn't have asked you.

I know what matte red and what brick red is.

Well, I'll buy them all.

You reminded me.

If I go abroad and don't bring anything back for my girlfriend,

will I have to kneel on the washboard when I get home?

Boss, are you buying or not?

If you buy, let's buy together.

If you're not buying, we'll both kneel on the washboard.

Cheng Yao is not a materialistic person like that.

I won't go.

Then, I won't buy either.

I'll just kneel on the washboard.

My girlfriend is not materialistic either.

Tan Ying is not materialistic either.

I just want to buy her something.

You know, it's not easy for me to go abroad.

So I want to bring her something back to make her happy.

I would buy a year's supply.

This is just me being lazy.

If you two don't buy,

I'll just go by myself.

Well. I'll go too.

No. Don't you love kneeling on the washboard?

My knees haven't been feeling well lately. Let's go.

Shallow.

Do you think this is enough for Tan Ying for a year?

Yours is definitely enough for a year. Mine is enough for two years.

Right?

All of these are more than enough to last a lifetime.

Did we buy too little?

Let's go take another look. Let's go.

Go back and take another look.

Do you know which country is the most insular?

- Which country? - Right here, Switzerland.

- Why? - Because of the "Swiss roll".

I won't entertain you anymore.

(Resignation Letter)

Cheng Yao handed in the resignation letter.

I think she must be very sad now.

What about me bringing you to her so you can take a look at her?

Yao Yao didn't tell me.

It means she wants to digest this on her own.

What I can do is to unconditionally support her

after she makes her decision

and provide you with a hiding place.

What do you mean by providing me with a hiding place?

What does that mean?

You are the leader of Junheng & Co,

and you accept Yao Yao's resignation.

When Qian Heng returns from his business trip in a few days,

he will blame you.

We've been brothers for so many years. He won't hurt me, right?

Even if he won't hurt you physically,

what about your year-end bonus?

- Or your share of the profits? - Let's not talk about it.

I'm having a headache.

I'll go talk to Qian Heng for you. What do you think?

No.

I caused this mess myself. I'll handle it.

Besides, dealing with Qian,

I should be able to come up with a solution.

- Can you? - I'm sure I can.

Sign.

- You didn't knock on the door? - I did.

You didn't hear me?

Loudness doesn't guarantee superiority.

What's the matter?

Are you standing up for Cheng Yao?

I just don't understand why you agreed to let Cheng Yao resign

even after Wu Jie's issue was resolved.

As for Liang Yi Ran,

Cheng Yao treated her like a female knight.

But she didn't stand up for her when it mattered.

We can't blame everything on Liang Yi Ran.

Tan Ying, think about it carefully.

If your boyfriend is Qian Heng instead of Yu Fei,

would you still want to stay here?

All right, think about it carefully.

Send her off. After all, Bao Rui and Yu Fei are both not here.

I know I'm very charismatic.

But work is work. Especially when it comes to superiors and subordinates.

If certain feelings, whether genuine or not, start to impact your work,

it becomes highly unprofessional.

Before you, 13 assistants were all fired

because of such unprofessional behavior.

We are not defending narrow individual cases.

We are defending procedural justice.

That is the greatest value of being a lawyer.

I want to give special praise to Cheng Yao.

Since joining the law firm, she has made great progress.

Today, she even won her case for the first time.

Congratulations, Cheng Yao!

(Exit group)

(Glory and Wealth)

(Exit group)

You're just resigning, right?

It's not like we can't have any contact anymore.

There's no need to cut off completely.

The firm's rules state that I have to leave all work-related group chats.

We can just create a new one for personal chats.

It's much harder to find friends to hang out with than to find a law firm.

When Lawyer Wu transferred me to that all-men team before,

I didn't expect to meet such like-minded friends.

You can leave the company group chat.

You're not allowed to leave the Glory and Wealth group without permission.

Oh, by the way,

this box of snacks will be passed on to you guys.

If you need more, I'll come back to replenish.

You must come back.

I hope everything goes smoothly.

Don't tell Qian Heng about my resignation yet.

(If you can't find the answer, why don't you take a different route?)

(Don't limit your life to one predicament.)

(Don't waste your time dwelling on things.)

(Thank you, Sister. I understand now.)

Boss, you're back.

Good afternoon, boss.

- Good afternoon, boss. - Good afternoon, boss.

Lawyer Qian is back.

Tell me, what's going on?

Boss, I have a call.

From a client.

Hello, are you looking for Lawyer Cheng Yao?

Lawyer Cheng Yao has resigned.

She didn't want me to tell you.

Maybe she was afraid

it would affect your case.

Do you have any other questions?

Got it. You can go now.

Okay, bye.

Bring it here.

What is it?

Are you kidding me? You promised to bring me the lipstick

before your business trip.

Sorry, I forgot.

I heard from Bao Rui that you went on a shopping spree abroad.

You almost cleared out the entire shelf.

I bought those for Cheng Yao.

I didn't know what she liked, so I just bought everything.

Do you know why Cheng Yao resigned this morning?

I know. I agreed to it.

She is currently in the growth stage at Junheng & Co.

It's a waste for her to leave at this time.

In fact, she's still too young.

She won't turn back until she hits a wall.

Cheng Yao has her own ideas,

and I respect her choice.

Sorry, I have something else to attend to.

(Resume)

(Resume)

(Resume)

Qian Heng.

You're back.

Why did you come back?

I wanted to surprise you.

I'm cooking dinner. It'll be ready soon.

What are these?

Gifts I bought for you.

Bao Rui and Yu Fei also bought some.

I can't lose to them.

Others have these, so my girlfriend must have these.

My girlfriend must possess even more of what others lack.

I want to tell you something.

About quitting, right?

I already know.

It's okay. Maybe in the past few days, work has been too busy.

You must be tired. It's good to take a break.

How about I accompany you on a trip for a few days?

I don't want to go.

You mentioned wanting to watch a movie before.

I bought a projector.

How about we watch it together?

What are you cooking?

It's overcooked.

The pot is no longer usable. How about I take you out for a meal?

Well, let me cook.

Wait for me in the living room.

I took on a case in Lawyer Liang's team before.

I lost the client's IOU.

The client came to the firm and caused a scene.

You were on a business trip. I didn't want to bother you.

So I didn't tell you.

No matter what,

that was my responsibility.

So I resigned out of guilt.

It was my only choice.

You lost the IOU?

How is that possible?

How could you make such a low-level mistake?

I also don't know why the IOU suddenly disappeared.

It was always kept safe with other documents in the drawer.

But no one believes me.

I believe you.

Because you are the lawyer I trained.

Don't worry.

I will give you an explanation about this matter.

Lawyers at Junheng & Co can't be wrongly accused.

It's okay.

It's in the past.

It was my insistence to transfer to Lawyer Liang's team.

So I have to take responsibility for my decision.

Let's eat. It's getting cold.

I also don't know why the IOU suddenly disappeared.

It was always kept safe along with other documents in the drawer.

But no one believes it.

Wu Jun.

What exactly transpired with Cheng Yao's resignation?

(Sorry, the number you've dialed is currently unavailable.)

(Please try again later.)

Tan Ying,

tell Wu Jun this.

If he wants to save Junheng & Co from being dissolved,

find me at the boxing center.

Qian,

have you had enough?

Let me buy you a cup of coffee.

You're in luck. There's a new coffee shop

right next to where I just came from.

Let's go. I'll treat you to a cup of coffee.

This place isn't suitable for chatting, right?

It's not suitable here, right?

Okay, then let's go to the archery range.

Remember to bring an apple.

An apple.

No. Let's stay here.

Qian, let me tell you.

Violence is how primitive people solve problems.

Contemporary gentlemen rely on negotiations.

Are you serious?

Raise your hand.

- Lower it. - Okay.

Be gentle, please.

Gentle.

You're not really going to hurt me, right?

Let me ask you.

Is Cheng Yao being framed?

I'm still investigating this matter.

Even if she was really set up by Liang Yi Ran, don't I need evidence?

What evidence? What does it have to do with Liang Yi Ran?

Doesn't she like you?

She likes me?

How come I didn't know?

Really?

She had a crush on you since our college days.

She liked you for so many years even a blind person could see it.

But you didn't know?

If you knew about it, why did you still hire her?

I didn't know you liked Cheng Yao.

I always thought the friend you mentioned was Liang Yi Ran.

That's why I matched you two.

When I found out that you liked Cheng Yao,

this matter was already a done deal, right?

I acknowledge my responsibility in this matter.

Let's just talk about the facts.

We both have our faults, right?

You can't just blame me.

So Cheng Yao was set up by her, right?

I don't know. After she joined the law firm,

this matter has developed into what it is today.

Why didn't you stop her?

How can I stop her?

I lack evidence.

How could I simply expose and criticize her?

What will people say?

Junheng's boss is using personal feelings

to bully a female partner from outside.

Qian, no one dares to say anything to you.

But consider this, what would people say about Cheng Yao?

How will she survive in this industry in the future?

Yes, Cheng Yao has resigned.

But with her current abilities, she can still find a good job

and have a good career development.

Don't worry.

On the contrary, I believe that at Junheng,

it may not be conducive to her future career development

and her relationship with you.

I will not let Cheng Yao leave.

I will get back the grievances she suffered.

Put it on.

Qian, I know it may be hard for you to accept it right away.

But Qian, don't worry, whatever happens,

I'll be by your side.

Don't worry.

In the future, please inform me in advance when hiring female lawyers.

You haven't left work yet?

That's perfect. Let's go together.

- I have something to discuss with you. - What is it?

When you first joined,

the process was rushed and some steps were missed.

Shall we make up for it?

Your meticulous style has never changed.

What do I need to do?

Can you recite the lawyer's oath?

Our relationship is already so close.

There's no need for this process, right?

It's still necessary.

Otherwise, some people might forget

why they became lawyers.

I don't understand what you're saying.

Do you have any comments regarding the case

where Cheng Yao lost the document?

It was indeed my fault for not guiding her properly.

I didn't pay attention to her change in mentality at the time.

I should have reminded her to be more serious.

So I have already refunded the lawyer's fees out of my own pocket.

Did you take the original document?

How could I do such a thing?

That case was handled independently by Cheng Yao.

I have never interfered.

I have never even seen the original document,

let alone touched it.

Look at this.

What is this?

You were afraid of being caught by the cameras in the office area.

So you turned off the firm's power switch.

But all of your little actions

were caught by the cameras in the hallway.

There are so many women wearing white clothes in the firm.

How can you be sure that this person is me?

I'll ask you one last time.

Did you take it?

It wasn't me, Qian Heng.

I know you must feel uncomfortable with Cheng Yao's resignation.

But you can't take out that anger on me.

Cheng Yao couldn't handle her cases well

and couldn't stay at Junheng anymore.

This has nothing to do with me. It's her own problem.

You are also a senior lawyer.

Everything needs evidence.

If you need me to cooperate and verify anything,

I will cooperate in order to prove my innocence.

- Are you sure you didn't touch it? - Yes.

- And you are willing to prove your innocence? - Yes.

Okay. Let's go do a fingerprint test.

If you really didn't touch it,

there won't be your fingerprints on the materials, right?

Let's go now.

Are you willing to go to such lengths for her?

You're treating me like a criminal now.

Is it because Cheng Yao told you something?

Do you have the nerve to mention her to me?

She has never said a bad word about you.

And she would never do something so foolish or make such a mistake.

I unconditionally believe in her.

Let's go. Come with me.

Come on, let's go.

Qian Heng.

Yes, it was me.

I just don't like her.

She seduced you, and you fell for it.

- You always defend her. - Shut up.

Qian Heng.

Is your heart dead?

Do you realize...

I don't want to know.

Liang Yi Ran.

I used to admire your work abilities.

But now, you have no professional ethics.

I hope you can clarify your actions and apologize to Cheng Yao in person.

If you don't cooperate, I will call the police and clear her name.

All of our conversations have been recorded.

Listen for yourself.

Qian Heng.

Do you know that if you call the police,

my career will be ruined?

Then, you should know

that from the moment you framed Cheng Yao,

this would be the outcome.

I just want to know

what makes her so special.

You don't need to know.

That's enough for me alone to know.

Qian.

The three of us have known each other since college, right?

Since that's the case,

we can also call ourselves a family.

Right?

Can we keep family matters behind closed doors and handle them ourselves?

If you call the police right now and have her arrested,

our little junior sister will be ruined for life.

Junheng will also be implicated.

Are you willing?

Trust me.

Leave this matter to me.

I promise you.

Cheng Yao will not suffer any more injustice.

I will restore her reputation.

If I don't handle this matter well,

I will offer myself as a target at the archery center.

Is that okay?

Don't let me see her again.

That's basically it.

So you're not angry anymore, right?

You watched the surveillance all night.

Why are you looking at me like that?

I feel like you've changed a lot.

I still remember when we first met,

you used to always mention your hourly rate of 10,000 yuan.

Now you're willing to spend so much time on this.

You were treated unjustly in this manner.

I still feel like I'm not efficient enough.

Okay, don't overthink it.

Let it go.

I'll call Wu Jun later and transfer you back to my team.

But I've already resigned.

So what?

The truth has been revealed.

No one will talk behind your back anymore.

And I promise you,

you won't see Liang Yi Ran in the law firm again.

Come back.

I can't.

I've thought about it seriously.

It's a good time to think about my future plans.

What's there to think about?

Isn't Junheng & Co the best choice for you?

How do you know I don't have a better choice?

Then tell me,

where else can you go if you leave Junheng & Co?

What do you mean?

Do you think that no one will want me if I leave Junheng & Co?

No.

How is that possible?

Cheng Yao.

Yes. I know no matter how hard I try, I can't catch up to you.

But I am also an adult.

I have the right to make decisions for myself.

Yao Yao.

Yao Yao, I just want to help you.

Stop it. I need to calm down.

Then, I won't bother you tonight.

I'll go back to the villa to sleep.

Thank you.

(Li Cheng Xuan)

(Cheng Yao, cheer up.)

(You don't want to be looked down upon by your boyfriend, do you?)

(If you're not strong enough, you won't be treated fairly.)

Hello. Is this Lawyer Li Cheng Xuan?

I'm Cheng Yao.

About the job offer last time, can I talk to you in person?

Wu Jun.

I'm giving you a chance now.

Call me back immediately.

You're dead.

Eat slowly, eat less.

This is your second serving.

Aren't you full?

I'm not full.

Let me tell you, Cheng Xi.

Beef contains a lot of myoglobin

which is very helpful for muscle building.

But he's done with boxing.

What's the point of building muscle now?

The boxing ring is in the past.

What if one day he's in a good mood and asks me to be his target?

So it's useful to build some muscle in advance.

It'll increase my resistance.

Don't worry. I've got your back.

If you can't handle it, I'll take care of your inheritance.

You're waiting for a project from me.

I'm just kidding.

Qian Heng just wants someone close

to release his emotions.

He's just like a child.

He won't really blame you.

I know. Qian Heng is my best buddy.

I never blamed him.

It's only been two years since we broke up and you already have a new love.

You jerk.

When we were together,

you called me "baby" every day.

You said sweet words and made promises

that we would be together forever.

It turns out it was all a lie.

How many fish are you on your hook now?

Wu Jun, do you ever get tired of keeping so many fish?

No. What's wrong with you three today?

Didn't we all agree to break up?

And when I'm with you three, I'm single.

I'm not with all three of you.

Again?

Jerk.

Liar.

Trash.

Wipe it.

What's going on?

- What's going on? - Cheng Xi, please listen to my explanation.

I truly don't understand what's happening today.

I haven't been in contact with them for a very long time.

When we broke up, we agreed to do it peacefully.

I don't know why the three of them came together today

to pick a fight with me.

Your ex-girlfriends

are pretty good-looking.

No way. They can't compare to you.

In my heart, you are the most beautiful.

Did you compare me to them?

No.

Never.

I never thought about them.

You are the only one in my heart.

No, it's not a coincidence

that so many ex-girlfriends showed up today.

Someone must really hate you

to go through all this trouble and expense.

Qian Heng?

Fine. What I said to him was all in vain.

He's having problems with Cheng Yao.

Why did he have to come and ruin our relationship?

Luckily you're so magnanimous.

I'm not that magnanimous.

When it comes to things like this, I'm pretty petty.

No, I swear to you, from now on,

I won't even think about or look at any other woman besides you.

No, don't swear.

It's raining outside. I'm worried you'll get struck by lightning.

Okay, then I'll touch some wood.

- Wipe it. - Okay.

(That's your price for simply hiring people.)

If something really happens between Qian Heng and Cheng Yao,

will Qian Heng sacrifice me to the gods?

It's possible.

It's possible?

Lawyer Liang, yes.

I'm Wu Jun.

Tomorrow morning,

come to my office, okay?

Okay.

Okay, I'll wait for you.

The one who caused the problem should be the one to solve it.

I have to think of a way to save myself.

Do you want to have a cup of tea first?

Go ahead.

How do you plan to handle me?

Do you remember this photo?

Every time I see this photo,

I can remember how you looked when you were in college.

Proud and confident.

You were the future star of the law faculty.

Back then, the lecturers all liked you so much.

Everyone believed

that you would have a very bright future.

I remember that plenty of girls were courting Qian Heng back then.

You were the only one who could discuss cases with him.

Back then, you told us that you would

be the best female lawyer in the world after you graduate.

- Enough. - After that, you would...

What's the point of mentioning the past now?

Of course there's a point.

It reminds me of what you were like in the past.
