=Episode 1=

Welcome to the manuscript exhibition of Mr. Taylor,

the top-tier interior designer.

This exhibition is held by the Yihua Group.

We'll interview their president...

Hurry.

Mr. Yi Mincai.

Yihua is already the leading company in town.

But you still

have a bad habit of backstabbing your partners.

Verbal assault

won't drag Yihua down from the throne.

You

are not qualified to talk to me.

The unfinished building shall pass the inspection

and be sold at a premium price.

Let me show you.

The fabrication looks authentic, huh?

I have something on your grandson.

Can we talk now?

You'd better agree to the terms I proposed.

Otherwise, the journalists who came today

might have some unexpected gains.

Not here. Go.

Okay.

What are you looking at, lecher?

Nice moves there.

Hey.

What are you filming?

I'm in a crisis!

They are chasing you.

It's for self-protection.

Delete the video.

Chill, the beauty mode is on.

Delete the video!

Give it to me!

Delete it.

Delete it.

Delete it.

Throw yourself into someone's arms

in a better place next time.

You even tore your clothes apart

to snatch my phone.

What a clumsy thief!

Thief?

I'm a thief?

That Taylor guy is the real thief.

I was pointing out

that he stole my work.

That's why they

chased me here.

Give me my phone.

You can have it back.

But I must see you delete the video.

Otherwise, I...

I'll accuse you of harassing me.

This is why I recorded the video.

Whoever saw you climbing the booth in the men's room

wouldn't believe you were harassed.

You...

You can dress yourself, right?

Put it on.

I...

Once I'm sure you want nothing from me,

I'll delete the video.

My business card in the pocket

has all my contact info.

Call the police if I go back on my word.

Remember to return my coat.

What a small world, Mr. Lu.

You guys, guard the exits.

Don't let anyone disturb our little conversation.

Mr. Yi, you brought so many people to greet me?

Haven't you learned the lesson?

Don't be so smug.

You really think that video clip can

bring me down?

Get him!

I bet you don't know

what I did before I established Pinshang.

What are you waiting for? Get him!

Hello to everyone watching my livestream.

Today, we're checking out

Taylor's manuscript exhibition.

As you can see,

the gallery is crowded with visitors.

There you are. Get her.

Get both of them!

See? So crowded.

Hello, handsome.

Why do you look so serious?

There are 5,000 viewers online right now.

Come on, face the screen

and say hello to our online friends.

This handsome young man

is too nervous to speak.

It's alright.

Over here, there's another handsome guy.

May I interview you briefly?

(Ten viewers, impressive.)

I'd love to. This way, please.

Handsome, want to join us?

Alright.

Let's stop teasing him.

Now,

let's head to

Taylor's manuscript exhibition.

There are over 20,000 viewers now.

Twenty thousand?

I'm not sure who's the charming one,

Taylor or the handsome guy next to me.

Please

give us a good interpretation of the exhibition.

No problem, this way please.

(Conference Room)

Bravo, you've got the guts

to fool Mr. Yi with your

ten ghost followers.

Mind your own business.

Anyway, it worked, didn't it?

Why did you help me?

You helped me in the men's room first.

You pissed me off by calling me a thief,

but

a favor received must be repaid.

It's in my nature to step forward.

Now we're even.

(Delete Video)

Now we're even.

I have to go now.

Mom.

Do you realize the damage

you did to Yihua by being careless?

Mom, please calm down.

Grandma.

I could have stopped Lu Cenyang.

But that traitor Bu Ran sided with him.

Bu Ran?

Do you have a brain?

You think you can stop him

by catching him

in the art gallery?

He has something on you.

How did you happen to be there?

Grandma.

Mom.

A few years of overseas education made her

quite something.

She caused a scene on her first day back home,

framing Taylor for stealing her design work.

The exhibition

went into utter chaos thanks to her.

Seven years ago,

you played tricks

and made me the guarantor for your student loan.

You want to play the same old trick again?

Let me ask you, Grandma.

Do you know?

Uncle and his family are utter hypocrites.

They cut off the loan

when I was about to graduate,

and told my mentor

to harass me in exchange for his "help".

Mom...

Don't listen to her.

If you can't settle such a minor issue,

there's no point in continuing school.

You've failed to tell right from wrong.

No wonder you still

can't retire at this age.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

I'm okay.

You just got back. Greet Grandma.

Go on, be good.

Look how sharp-tongued you are.

You're just like your father.

You don't get to mention my dad.

You know why he's in prison.

He took the blame for you.

And how did you treat my mother and me?

If my dad knew you were bullying us,

he'd surely regret his decision.

Your father defied and betrayed me first

and gave up on you two afterward.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom, what's wrong?

Mom, what's wrong?

Are you feeling unwell?

- Take her to hospital. Don't die here. - Mom, answer me. Mom.

Son, are you okay?

I'm okay.

- Go. - Mom, wake up.

Mom.

Doctor, please save my mom.

Family of Bu Huiyun.

The balance is insufficient.

Please pay up asap.

Okay.

Doctor, how is my mom?

Cardiogenic shock from coronary heart disease.

Thankfully, you brought her in on time.

Or she'd be in serious trouble.

She is no longer in a critical condition.

Thank you, Doctor.

Considering the risk of infection,

we suggest the patient stay for observation.

Okay.

(Your mother needs further treatment.)

(Please pay the fee tomorrow.)

(Okay.)

- Greetings. - Madam.

Speak up.

You can't afford to waste my time.

(Lu Cenyang's business card)

I can be valuable to the Yi family.

What can you prove with just a common

business card?

Grandma.

I guess you want to deal with Lu Cenyang.

And I'm the only one in the family

he doesn't guard against.

I'd like to be your henchman

and a valuable member of the family.

Please cover my mom's medical expenses.

Come and talk to me when you truly

get close to him.

Bu Ran.

If you dare deceive me,

I will destroy everything you have.

Do you understand?

As long as certain people don't interfere,

you can wait for good news.

Mr. Lin.

Mr. Liu.

- Long time no see. - Yeah.

- Cheers! - Please sit.

(Hai City Construction Industry Summit) Interesting gathering this year.

Yihua owns half of Hai City.

After all these years,

finally, someone can't stand it anymore.

You're talking about Lu Cenyang,

the boss of Pinshang Group, who just emerged, right?

- Mr. Lu. - Mr. Lu.

(Hai City Construction Industry Summit)

Thank you.

He's here.

Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu.

Pleasure to meet you.

I'm Lin Yaohua from Yongsheng Building Materials.

Greetings, Mr. Lin.

I'm Lu Cenyang from Pinshang. Nice to meet you.

I'm Liu Xu from Haohan Stars.

Mr. Liu, pleased to meet you.

Pleased to meet you.

I've always found Pinshang's designs

cutting-edge and trendy.

It turns out there's a mastermind behind it.

Let's hang out more.

Alright.

Alright, of course.

As far as I know,

all of your businesses are deeply tied to Yihua.

Pinshang may not be a large company,

but stylization has always been our pursuit.

You're quite straightforward.

But it's hard to make it

without Yihua's support in the local market.

Yihua leans on capital

and monopolizes the market.

If you choose to work with them,

you can only

remain as their followers.

The prosperity belongs to Yihua.

But you all take the blame if anything goes wrong.

I wonder if any of you have the courage

to join me in creating something new.

Well...

I guess I was hasty.

We're making friends today.

No business talk.

Yeah.

Hello, everyone.

Isn't this Kerry from Ruige Building Materials?

Sorry, Mr. Liu.

I got delayed.

This is...

Mr. Liu.

Aren't you going to introduce me?

You're putting me in an awkward position.

This is Mr. Lu from Pinshang, a promising young man.

Hello, Mr. Lu.

Nice to meet you.

I heard about your ambition just now.

I'm willing to side with you.

I hope we can

join hands to stop the Yi Family from monopolizing

the local market.

Mr. Lu, excuse me for a second.

See you around.

We have other guests, too.

Kerry, have a good chat with Mr. Lu.

Communicate.

Mr. Lu.

Shall we talk about the details

over a drink

somewhere quieter?

Of course. Please.

Alright.

Where are you?

Come back now.

I figured out how to deal with Lu Cenyang.

It's the monthly industry summit tonight.

Have Zihe find a social butterfly

to entertain Lu Cenyang.

I'll make him fall from grace.

(Uncle's family always plays dirty.)

(But it offers me a chance to get close to him.)

Pleased to meet you, Mr. Lu.

I admire your courage and insight.

You're much more pleasant to talk to compared

to those old and cowardly foxes.

The price and quality of the building materials I can offer you

are as tempting as my figure.

Aren't you afraid of being blacklisted by Yihua?

It depends on

whether you are worth my trust.

You are a lady with stunning beauty.

I dare not enjoy your favor.

Otherwise, I'd become the common enemy here.

I'd like to make friends with you.

Let's drink.

Cenyang, here you are.

I've come to admire

the honey trap here.

Don't drive me away, okay?

Hello, I'm Bu Ran,

Cenyang's friend.

I'm Kerry.

Ms. Bu.

A nice figure is natural.

You can't force it.

A woman's beauty comes from within,

not from exposure.

I heard that Mr. Lu is immune to women.

It seems Ms. Bu is an exception.

Of course.

(Still not leaving?)

(Fine. Here comes my lethal strike.)

I took a fancy to Cenyang

the first time I met him.

His handsome face with its distinct features

and his robust chest muscles

caught my eye.

I simply couldn't resist.

Mr. Lu, I wish to collaborate with you.

But this confidante of yours

doesn't seem to welcome me.

You know

I'm the only one who would

choose you over Yihua.

You can't look down on me

just because I'm a woman.

Ms. Kerry.

I certainly didn't think that way.

Then we will be one after this drink.

Kerry.

I'll take Ran home later.

- (Ran?) - I really can't drink.

Mr. Lu, are you rejecting me?

I'll get you a designated driver.

Cenyang says he'd drive me home, which means

he doesn't want a third wheel.

Ms. Bu.

Mr. Lu is so sweet to you.

Don't utilize his favoritism.

Mr. Lu, show me some respect and finish this champagne.

I assure you that I'll offer

greater help than Mr. Lin and Mr. Liu combined.

Mr. Lu is never the passive one waiting to be chosen.

I drank it for him.

See you around.

Kerry, Ran can't drink.

I have to take her home.

Excuse us.

Hey, don't...

Don't touch the steering wheel.

Hey, sit properly.

It's too hot.

Do you know how dangerous it is?

It's just a glass of champagne. Seriously?

I...

Are you seriously so drunk?

You do look quite handsome from this angle.

You...

Stop it or I'm going to be mad.

Hey.

What's wrong with you?

(Then we will be one after this drink.)

Calm down, I'll get you some water.

Don't go.

Calm down. I bet it was Kerry.

Hey.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Slow down, be careful.

I need some air. It's too hot.

I have to tie you up.

Otherwise, you won't behave.

Don't move.

Breeze.

Breeze.

Come down from there.

Calm down.

Have some water.

Here.

Kiss me.

Come on. Give me a break! I'm not kissing you!

Kisses. I want kisses.

Kiss kiss.

Kiss kiss.

Don't come in. Sleep outside.

Control yourself.

Help!

Help!

Where am I?

Lu Cenyang, you hypocrite!

Come out!

How dare you

bring a girl home without permission!

Are you sure?

Am I sure?

Lu Cenyang, you're dead.

I will send you to prison.

Just wait

until you watch this.

You see?

Who forced her way in?

Who threw herself into my arms?

By the way,

pay for my clothes

you tore apart

and puked on.

You stayed over for one night.

Let's say it's 300 yuan for a standard room.

And my mental distress...

I'll let you off

since you are a lady.

Reasonable demands, right?

How did you know I was there last night?

And how did you know someone was setting me up?

Was Kerry the schemer?

Were you also trying to benefit?

I went there...

(I can't tell him I'm from the Yi Family.)

Because I saw someone trying

to sneak photos of you!

You should

be grateful to me and ensure my safety!

Besides, I agreed to compensate you.

It's your turn.

I basically

saved your life.

How will you thank me?

If I knew you'd do this to me,

I might as well go with Kerry.

Stop.

I did that because

I was drugged, okay?

I knew you were drugged.

That's why I suffered

without complaint.

You saved me.

I can pretend nothing happened.

Hey.

Don't make it

sound like you're bullied, okay?

I...

I haven't even dated anyone. I've lost out big time.

That's enough.

Get out.

I-I'm not finished.

Hear me out.

Don't... Hear me out!

Are you done?

No matter how you put it,

I sacrificed a lot for you.

Let's call it even.

But you must promise me one thing.

As long as you don't cling to me,

go ahead.

Who wants you?

I want to join Pinshang.

Pinshang

is not a place just for anyone.

There is no shortcut.

(If Grandma knew I failed,)

(she'd let my mom die.)

(No way. I have to get into Pinshang!)
