[Guess Who I Am]

[Adapted from Yi Jin's original novel, "Please! Please Don't Be Friends with Me!"]

[Bidding for Riyue BayWetland Resort Project]

The tender documents this time are pretty well prepared.

If you hadn't been strict with Director Bai and those old hands,

they might've been convinced that we were easy to fool.

Go back and notify them of the meeting.

I have a bid price in mind this time.

This affects my entrance into the board of directors.

We can't afford any mistakes.

We don't have to keep secrets from Yao Yao. I've told her everything.

Eyes on the road.

I trust her.

What are you looking at?

Nothing much.

That's enough.

[Episode 14]

I have a meeting soon. You should go back and rest.

What's wrong?

It's nothing. Come home early.

Okay.

Thank you for your hard work.

We'll use this version for the bid price.

We're facing the most critical period for the bidding.

I hope you won't be lax with your work until we clinch the Riyue Bay project.

Meeting adjourned.

It's nothing. Come home early.

That piece of crap forgot about us after getting a wife.

He told Song Yao everything.

Is that something he can share casually?

Keep your voice down.

Aren't you angry?

Nah, I believe in Qin Hao's decision.

What kind of spell did Song Yao cast on you? You're all taking her side.

I watched the live stream. She's a decent lady.

Is she now? [Riyue Bay Wetland Resort]

I'm leaving. Don't forget to delete the printing history.

Traitors, they're all traitors.

Well done. Keep watching them.

[Bidding for Riyue Bay Wetland Resort Project]

Big Brother, you wanted to see me?

You did well on the bid proposal.

I'm just so-so, an unremarkable business genius.

However, the bid price needs to be changed.

[Bidding for Riyue Bay Wetland Resort Project]

Big Brother.

Did you hire a corporate spy?

This is just too despicable.

It's no longer a secret.

It was leaked from within Chengtian, and each competitor gets one copy.

I'm going to show my hand. Seems like I've become a prophet.

Didn't I tell you that you'll lose?

[Bidding for Riyue Bay Wetland Resort Project]

Your confidential proposals have long been known to everyone in the industry.

Are you the last to find out?

Misjudging people really leads to disastrous employment.

Well, you don't have to thank me.

The Sheng family has always done business in an upright manner.

Twisted and unfair means just to gain victory aren't for the Sheng family.

I owe you one.

Fine.

Let's compete fairly from this day forth.

As you wish.

See you at the bidding venue in 10 days.

By the way, don't forget that it'll be the day of your defeat.

- Hello, Senior. - Hello.

The bidding proposal has been leaked. There's a mole in the project team.

I'll investigate immediately.

- The chairman... - No need for that.

I'll check.

The bid proposal has been leaked.

Seems like this bet can end early.

Chairman.

Do you really think I have no chance left of winning?

Of course.

If you agree to get divorced now and marry the daughter of the Liang family,

I can see to that separately as well.

I shan't bother you with the hassle, Chairman.

I will definitely win this bet.

You can't even keep the bid proposal safe, yet you talk about success.

It's true that there is a mole in Chengtian Group,

but now is the best time to lure them out.

Don't worry, I'll certainly get to the bottom of this.

Why should I believe you?

You will.

Put aside the matter of impeaching Ji Chengchuan for now.

Noted, Chairman.

Chairman, Chengtian's bid price was leaked.

How do we deal with this matter? [Xiao Zhao]

What's the matter with you guys?

The bid proposal has been leaked.

What are you going to do about it?

Don't worry, I can handle it.

Go ahead.

There are just too many people within the company

who have come into contact with the document.

We'll take too much time if we look into every single person.

Let's forget about the mole for now.

Our focus right now is to prepare a new bid proposal.

Come, have some fruit. I just washed them.

Sure.

No matter how many bid proposals we make,

it's useless if we don't root out the mole.

But our position in the company is too delicate.

Any slight movement could easily alert the enemy.

There are only 10 days left to the bidding.

Nothing works for you. What are we supposed to do?

Would you like some coffee? You must be thirsty.

I just made them. Here.

Here, Nanxuan.

Here, Lingren.

Thanks.

The Americano is yours.

Thanks.

I will leave you guys to it.

We can utilize our overseas connections.

Let's start by checking the periphery first

to see if there have been any recent anomalies in their accounts.

Song Yao.

You aren't even eavesdropping. That's just blatantly listening.

Should I set up a bench next to me so you can join in?

Why are you being so polite? What bench? You even called me over.

Just say whatever's on your mind.

I do have a somewhat immature suggestion,

but you will have to make some sacrifices.

So, this is why you've fallen at Sheng Silin's feet?

Winter is coming.

It's true that happiness is short-lived.

I'll give you one chance to turn over a new leaf.

These charts are so professionally done. It's like the FBI.

It's so big in here. If this is turned into a computer room...

Are you hiring? Can I join?

Look at how pathetic you are. You're spineless.

Are you sure they aren't here as a comedy duo?

Jiang Nanxuan, you can question our character, but you must not doubt our expertise.

Gu Zijun.

[Chengtian Group Character Relationship Chart]

Step one.

I, the leading actress, arrive at Chengtian as Ji Chengchuan's wife

to extend heartfelt greetings to employees

and bond with them in an attempt to trace every possible lead.

3:30 p.m. is when employees have a slump in work efficiency.

If we make good use of it, they'll give the game away.

[Chengtian Group]

Everyone, you've worked with Chengchuan for so long,

yet I've never expressed my gratitude to you.

I brought some gifts today. I hope you'll like them.

That's awesome.

There's coffee below. Help yourself to them.

This flavor is particularly good.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Manager Kang, Chief Xu, and Director Bai are the leaders of the bidding project team.

They are our main suspects.

Manager Kang?

You must be her, right? Hello.

Chengchuan has just taken over the company, and your assistance has been a great help.

It's what I should do. Mrs. Ji, you're too kind.

Director Bai.

I've heard so much about you.

Nice to meet you.

Step two.

The convenience store is the real gossip center of the company.

The exhausted employees will relax as soon as they are here.

Lisa got a new bag. Did you see it?

She's just an intern who has just become a full-time employee.

Where did she get the money?

Don't you know how she became a full-time worker?

With Shuangshuang's solid information-gathering ability,

she will definitely obtain insider information.

Step three.

People aren't the only ones who can access the bid proposal.

That would be...

printers.

Hello, is this the Maintenance Department?

The printer on the 27th floor is broken. Can you come and fix it?

- All right. - Thank you.

I'm the maintenance guy.

- This way, please. - Sure.

- This is it. - Got it.

Why were you so careless?

This must be very difficult to repair.

Let me take a look.

Indeed, it'll be quite a hassle.

Thank you for your help.

It's my job.

As expected, someone tampered with the printer.

Someone installed a file recovery software in the printer.

That was how the bid proposal was leaked.

I remember you were the one who printed the document.

To be precise, it was Ling Ling and me.

I checked all the videos from you.

The camera in the printing room happened to be broken during those days.

The Maintenance Department has a record of this matter.

There were no suspicious individuals.

I also checked the attendance records.

After the meeting that day, apart from you two,

Chief Xu, Director Bai, and Manager Kang were the ones who were in the office.

If you ask me, Chief Xu is the most suspicious one.

He's been sneaking around a lot lately.

He also went missing from time to time.

Is Chief Xu in a relationship recently?

He was wearing a masculine cologne today.

There was also a strand of long, brown hair on him.

No way. He has been single for a long time.

No, he is indeed in love, not to mention with Lisa.

By the way, I have a points card.

The convenience store's point cards are tied to real names.

Lisa was using Chief Xu's card.

Even the stickers were all in the same position.

Sure, darling. See you tonight.

Seems like they're still in the honeymoon phase.

If they go on dates every single night,

the day of the meeting wouldn't be an exception.

Do you know what time they met up?

I remember that the printing time for the document was 10:47 p.m.

Chief Xu is definitely not the mole, then.

How far is Qilin Zone from the office?

It would take at least 20 minutes by car.

I signed one of his expense reimbursement forms yesterday.

The time shown on it was 10:40 p.m.

He couldn't have possibly rushed back to the office

to steal the bid proposal within seven minutes.

However, the remaining two didn't leave any traces either.

General Manager Ji, we've already done so much.

It's your turn now, isn't it?

Gu Zijun can have access to Chengtian Group's general manager account.

What do you mean by that?

It's a trap.

Is this how you always operated?

Of course.

We will never give scums the opportunity to escape.

No wonder.

No wonder you were so close to ruining my plan when we first met.

I wasn't as skilled as you, who played us like a fiddle.

Likewise for you.

It's all in the past.

Life has seen many storms. Let's not bring up the past again.

I'll continue writing in my room.

Folks.

I believe that some of you have already heard

that our bid price was leaked two days ago.

Clearly, we have a traitor among us who betrayed Chengtian Group.

Hence, from today onward, the 27th floor

will serve as the floor solely dedicated to the bidding project team.

We will turn it into a fully enclosed office with all electronic signals blocked.

Without my permission, any documents,

even if it's just a piece of paper, are not allowed to leave this floor.

He's being extremely cautious.

Keep your voice down. Don't bring trouble upon yourself.

My mobile phone has no signal. I was on the phone.

I have to make the call outside.

How's it going? Did you figure anything out?

Hello?

The leaked bid proposal wouldn't be hidden for too long anyway.

Just keep doing your thing.

I have plans in the works.

The best way to distract Ji Chengchuan is to start from Song Yao.

As for the one who will make things worse

for us [Reliable source from Chengtian Group. Song Yao is the corporate spy]

[She approached Ji Chengchuan with an ulterior motive.]

[The evidence of her previous actions]

[has been sent to you via email.]

Liang Jingyi would be a fairly good choice.

Chengchuan, this is Song Yao's true motive in approaching you.

Have a look.

[Liang Jingyi]

The game is starting to get interesting.

Killing with a borrowed knife.

Seems like our opponent is a smart one.

Liang Jingyi probably doesn't know that she's been used as a weapon.

Dare to bet with high stakes with me?

What are you suggesting?

When are you available? Let's meet up and talk.

It's time to showcase my true skills.

The divide and conquer strategy.

The divide and conquer strategy?

You still don't get it?

You ask Liang Jingyi out, pretending to be convinced by her.

Then, you trick her into coming clean.

With that, you'll figure out the mastermind, no?

However, we do have a problem here.

You're so bad at putting up an act.

I must give you an impromptu coaching session.

I guarantee that you can master it in three to five days.

Stand up.

Let's start with Stanislavski and Brecht's acting methods.

Bring it on.

Our first lesson is an intangible performance exercise.

Look at me.

I'm currently demonstrating a perfect portrayal

of a corporate drone acting like a humanoid pendant on a bus.

Observe me well.

The key point of this act is the swaying movement.

And you must follow inertia.

Turning left.

Turning right.

What are you doing? Practice!

- I'm observing you. - Stop observing, you have to practice.

Hand in position, raise it high.

The driver's going to drive.

Turning left.

Turning right.

Accelerating.

What's wrong?

That was a sudden brake.

Now, I have a thread on my hand.

One end is linked to the tip of your nose. The other end is linked to my finger.

You have to go wherever I pull you. Do you understand?

Okay.

Liberate your inherent nature at this moment.

What?

Simply put, it's basic training in performing arts.

Let me search for it on Baidu.

The liberation of inherent nature in performing arts is a professional term.

Due to the changes and influences in the environment,

human nature is constrained.

You have to be able to immerse yourself

in the predetermined situation with an ideal and accurate performance state

so as to express the true and rich mental state of the character.

Do you understand?

Yes, but...

But what?

Close your eyes and imagine yourself as an orangutan with me.

Got it?

Do it.

- What? - You should imitate your teacher.

Hurry up.

Well...

What's this?

A pig.

A pig rolling on the ground.

You're the pig here. Have you ever seen such a skinny pig?

This is a dog. A dog rolling on the floor.

A Tyrannosaurus.

Because of the short hands, this must be a Tyrannosaurus.

Nonsense, this is a meerkat.

What's a meerkat?

Timon, Hakuna Matata.

Come on, let's revise.

Come on.

Here, have a seat.

What are we doing now?

This is your wife who no longer loves you.

Please go ahead and release your emotions. Remember to be genuine but intense enough.

Come on.

Why are you coming this way? Your wife is there.

Are you cornering your teacher?

This is a foul.

♫ Oh, you're such a bad guy ♫

Don't fret.

Do you know how to regain a disinterested lover?

♫ Oh, you're such a bad guy ♫

How?

Make her fall back in love with you.

♫ Hiding on the rooftop nearest to the night sky ♫

♫ Do you think we're deserters? ♫

♫ Drinking neon-toned whiskey ♫

♫ Is it the moonlight or our blurry visions? ♫

♫ Drink to my long-hidden care ♫

♫ Drink because I'm not happy ♫

♫ The city pretending to sleep takes off its mask ♫

♫ Finally, I find the most real you ♫

♫ Intoxicated guesses at which star you're from ♫

♫ I'll try to pick it from the sky and give it to you ♫

♫ Now it's your turn to guess which star I'm from ♫

♫ Did I save the Milky Way in my past life? ♫

♫ The night wind brings us closer together ♫

♫ Do you think shooting stars have secrets? ♫

♫ Is the moon pretending to be clear-headed? ♫

♫ Just like me, just like you, concealing our true selves ♫

♫ A pair of eyes that are discerning ♫

♫ A garment adorned with stars and moons ♫

♫ The sleeping city steals dreams ♫

♫ I've stumbled into your game ♫

♫ Sincere guesses at which star you're from ♫

♫ I'll try to polish it and give it to you ♫

♫ Earnest guesses at which star I'm from ♫

♫ In my past life, I must've saved the Milky Way ♫
