Chenghuan.

Mr. Yao approved your revised edition

of the wedding tender.

This is the revised approval document.

You file it back.

Okay, I'll do it right now.

No, no rush.

I'm going out with Mr. Yao.

You go and have a lunch first.

There are many good restaurants

selling spicy food downstairs.

Eating spicy food is stress-relieving.

Mr. Yao and I won't be back
until after 3:00 PM.

- He Dong.
- Listen.

Mr. Yao.

How dare you tell her to skip work.

No, I'm helping you retain the talent.

Ever since she started working here,

has she ever left work before 9:00 PM?

If you keep this up,

you will not retain capable staff.

I think you're about to lose your job.

Alright, you arrange it.

Go and eat.
There's no rush to get it done.

You try the spicy hot pot. I'm off.

(Jialiang)

Hide here for a bit.

We're starting in a while. Stay focused.

Get ready.

You're here.

What are you doing here?

Get in the car.
I'll take you to a place.

I have told you.

Let's not meet
until you've thought it through.

We both need time to cool our heads.

I've already dealt with it.

Let's go. I have a surprise for you.

What have you done?

Get in the car.
I have a surprise for you.

Can't believe you.

What are you doing?

Sir, please do not honk the horn.

- Sorry.
- Sorry about that.

Xin Jialiang, you're crazy.

- Get in the car.
- No way.

If you get in, I won't honk.

Stop. I'll get in the car, okay?

Okay. Sorry about that.

You're so rude.

Huan, take a look at this house.
Do you like it?

Is this the house

you expect to have?

It has a good location, near the subway,
and a great view.

My Dad knows we're getting married,

so he bought this house for us.

If you like it,
I'll transfer the ownership to you.

You can decorate it as you like.

I have no problems
and will listen to you.

We've talked about this before.

If our parents help us,

they will interfere in our lives.

Besides, this is between the two of us.

We will buy our own house on our own.

Huan, we have to be realistic.

Houses in Shanghai are so expensive.

The two of us can't afford it.

We need a place to live
when we get married,

a space that belongs to both of us.

We shouldn't have to scrimp
or lower our quality of life

just because we're getting married.

Look at the scenery. Come on.

Huan, come on. Take a look.

Look at this scenery.
How nice the view is.

See, there's a lake over there.

After a tiring day at work,

I'll accompany you
for a walk by the lake.

If you want to lose weight,

we will use the fitness equipment

over there to exercise, okay?

The scenery is quite beautiful.

My parents have never lived
in such a good house.

They will have a chance.

Huan, just think about it.

When you have a big house,

you won't have to share one bathroom

with your parents and Zao.

When you're writing in the room,

Mrs. Mai won't push the door
and enter anymore.

Huan, if you don't like this house,

I'll ask my Dad to change it.

Pick one you like.

Jialiang, your Dad gives me this house

because he wants me
to help with the bidding, right?

It's good if you can help.

After all, Deshan will surely be ours.

After we're family,

we should help each other
and live harmoniously.

That's what being a family is all about.

Sorry, but I can't help
with the bidding.

And I won't take this house.

The printer is broken.

Can come over now to fix it?

I need to print a contract
for Mr. Luo this afternoon.

Please hurry.

(Party B, Mai Chenghuan)

Mai Chenghuan?

Mai Chengzao and Mai Chenghuan?
Your names sound similar.

Mai Chenghuan is my sister.

(Prenuptial Agreement,
Party A, Xin Jialiang)

(Party B, Mai Chenghuan)

Huan, don't be mad.

Zao, what's up?

Okay, I see. I gotta go.

Zao has worked at the law firm, right?

What happened? Did someone bully him?

Do you need me to help him?

Zao is fine.

But what's this
about a prenuptial agreement?

What? What prenuptial agreement?

Xin Jialiang, I can't believe you.

You help my brother
get a permanent position.

And you give me a house
to help you with the bidding.

At the same time, you want
to sign a prenuptial agreement with me.

You give me a house

to help you make connections
in business.

Yet you're wary of me and using me.

No, that's not true.

I-I really didn't know about it.

I didn't know about it.

Xin Jialiang, I know your family's money
doesn't grow on trees,

but I'm with you

not for your money.

Yes, I know.

Now, you did it behind my back

and even got my Mom involved,
putting me in a difficult position.

Have you considered how my family feels?

Have you ever cared about my feelings?

What sort of people do you take me for?

Aren't you insulting me?

Huan, calm down.

There must be a misunderstanding.

Well, my Mom...

Sometimes, she acts
the way she does business.

She made a mistake.

It's always your Mom.

Can you stop talking about your Mom?

I'm marrying you, not your Mom.

Huan, I really didn't know
about the agreement.

Huan, can you confirm with Zao again?

Why is it so hard to get married?

Yeah, I feel the same.

Why is it so hard?

Xin Jialiang, you tell your parents

I won't accept this house.

I also will not help with the tender

or sign the prenuptial agreement.

Please don't mix marriage
with interests anymore.

Huan.

What's going on?

It makes the face look bigger.

Why don't you listen to me?

Enough.

Like this.

♪Dust wanders everywhere
under the light♪

♪Sitting in the empty room,
I opened the window♪

Actually, in the Xin family,

the only places where a woman can shine
are the kitchen and the garden.

There won't be any other places.

♪Always searching for happiness♪

Zao.

What did Xin Jialiang say?

I'm off work now. I'll come find you.

Okay, see you then.

♪Everyone has a life of their own♪

I'm so mad about this.

They asked you for help and wanted you
to sign the prenuptial agreement.

How could they do this?
It's so insulting.

Huan, I can't let anyone hurt you.

A house by the Huangpu River costs
at least tens of millions.

But the business between the Xin family
and Yueda is worth over that number.

Each gift has a price.

Zao, don't tell our parents
about the agreement.

I fear they will overthink
and make a fuss.

I got it.

Huan, will my work
at Fangyuan cause you trouble?

No, you don't need to worry about that.

Just focus on your work.

Now, the relations
between the two families are stiff.

I have thought about it.

If both families can't respect
and tolerate each other,

there will be problems
even if we get married.

If Jialiang can figure it out,
he will know

that the best choice
for both of us is to let each other go.

Anyway, it's not too late

to realize it, isn't it?

I should learn from you
about your mentality.

Who says that my endeavors end here?

Maybe I'll even become a boss
in the future.

Yeah, there's still a long way to go.

Huan, if you really become a boss,

I'll be the little brother to a boss.

Zao, this is your first job.

I'm sorry to get you entangled

in such a mess.

Don't worry about me.

I'm tough,
and doing great at the law firm.

If anyone gives you a hard time,

or if you are unhappy, you must tell me.

No need to suffer.

Okay, don't worry. If I'm bullied,

I will make a scene at the firm.

Mom.

Hello, Mom.

Huan, come home quickly.
I have good news.

We're back.

Let's eat.

Such a big meal.
Mom is still cooking in the kitchen.

What's the good news?

Here it is.

Mom, what's the big news?

You even cooked fish.

I have great news.

Our house is going to be demolished.

- Really?
- Zao.

- Bring the dish.
- Okay.

Our family's fortunes
have finally turned around.

Whatever I wish for comes true.

The demolition of this old house
we have lived in

for decades will earn us millions.

Your dad and I have been worried
about your dowry money.

Now, it's all settled.

We will give up the resettlement house
and take the demolition compensation.

Mom, who told you about the demolition?

Our neighbors are talking about it.

Rumors are not reliable.

- This time, it's true.
- Yeah.

- Absolutely.
- Yes.

Mom, I hear we don't have to relocate.

Yes, I know that.

Our house is in a good location.

You can even feel the breeze
from the Bund.

But if we don't relocate,
we'll have to spend millions.

We don't have that kind of money.

Your Dad and I have discussed it.

We're going to buy a house in Qingpu.

It can save us over a million.

Qingpu? That's a distant suburb.

If we can't live in the same location,

let's buy a second-hand apartment
in the city.

Zao has to go to work every day.

And he often works overtime.

If he lives in the suburbs,

the commute will take two
to three hours. It's exhausting.

I know living in the city is better.

It's convenient for Zao.

And you'll want kids
after getting married.

- It'll be easier for me to take...
- Mom.

It is too early to talk about that.
Right now, just think of you and Zao.

I have savings.
No need to worry about me.

Don't I know how much savings you have?

Anyway, it's decided.

Buy a house in Qingpu.

Your Dad can take Zao
to the subway station.

As long as there's a subway,
it's convenient.

Besides, by subway,
you won't get stuck in traffic.

And it's not bad for a young man
to endure some hardships.

I'm okay with it. Don't worry about me.

Anyway, home is
wherever mom's cooking is.

Well said. Come on.
Let's toast to our wonderful life.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Cheers.

Mom.

Jialiang, you're back. Dinner is ready.

I'm not eating. I have no appetite.

What's the matter?

What's up with the prenuptial agreement?

Am I really your son?

Why is it so difficult
for me to get married?

Can't you just leave me alone?

Jialiang, are you stupid?

Mom and I did it all
for your own good, alright?

I knew it had something to do with you.

You are married.
Can't you manage your own home?

Stop setting me up, okay?

Jialiang, how can you talk
to your sister like that?

Am I wrong?

Don't be always scheming.

If you have the time,
you should look after your daughter.

Don't always leave her
with the nanny, okay?

You think I want to meddle?

If I don't, you'll be fooled.

None of your business.

Fine, and just a head's up,
you will get cheated.

- Stop it.
(- No worries.)

Alright, sit down.

(- You tell Yao Zhiming)
- Jialiang.

(that I'll be there tomorrow.)

(- I won't sit.)
- Fine, I gotta go.

Come on. Dinner is ready.

Stay. Are you arguing?

No, we're not. Jialiang.

She wants Chenghuan
to sign a prenuptial agreement.

Chenghuan was so aggrieved
that she cried.

No, Mai Chenghuan is pretending.

She said she doesn't want anything.

I just did as she said.

Dad, you listen to what she's saying.

Do you know about it?

It's normal for a rich family
to sign a prenuptial agreement.

Are you silly? We finally managed
to use the connection with Mai Chenghuan

to make Yao Zhiming relent.

Are you trying

to embarrass Yao Zhiming
with that agreement?

I can't believe it.

Why do I work so hard to do business

and make money?

I do it all to give you a good life.

Can you not cause me trouble?

Why are you getting so angry?

All I want is

to protect our home.

I don't want my son to suffer losses.

You're so foolish and short-sighted.

Can you not meddle in my affairs?

One, two, three, four.

Yu, the food in the fridge has gone bad.
I'll throw it out.

Don't. You're being wasteful.

I'll eat it with the porridge.

It's incredibly delicious.

How many times have I told you
not to eat leftover food?

It's not good for your health.

No big deal. I've eaten it for decades
and I'm in great shape.

What if the news
about the demolition is fake?

It won't be.

If it's true, I won't have to worry
about Huan's dowry.

How about we go to Qingpu to see houses?

Okay.

We have lived in this old
and small house for decades.

I've had enough of living here.

It's all my fault.

I can't make money and make you suffer.

Why do you blame yourself?

You do no wrong.

As you know, I was born in a small

and poor village,
wishing to stay in Shanghai.

I'm lucky enough to marry you.

We're living a happy life
with Huan and Zao.

I'm very content.

But...

Anyway, Huan can enjoy a better life.

Huan can fully enjoy her life
after getting married.

Actually, our life is quite alright,

a relatively comfortable life.

After we get the compensation
for the demolition,

we'll buy a house with three bedrooms
and two living rooms in Qingpu.

Really?

Yes.

My goodness, I am so excited.

It's just a bit far from Huan's home.

Yes, it's a bit far,
but the house is big.

I don't want you to live in the suburbs.

You live here.

Don't be silly.

I'm serious. I want everyone
to live a good life.

I can't enjoy my life while you suffer.

I have good news.
I've been promoted and got a raise.

Don't have to worry about me.

Even if I get married,

I won't need you
to prepare the dowry for me.

You must listen to me this time, Mom.

We buy a second-hand house
in the city center.

If the money is not enough,
I'll take out a loan.

We'll buy a house with three bedrooms.

Zao has been living
on the balcony for so many years.

It's time for him
to have his own bedroom.

Dad, Mom, you named me Chenghuan,

hoping I could live a happy life.

But if my happiness is built

at the cost of your happiness,

I won't be happy.

I want our whole family to be well.

It's settled. Time to sleep.

(Zhu Baoqiao)
(Just a gesture. I await good news.)

Mr. Xin, I've missed my chance
to meet you twice.

I'm really sorry about that.

Thank you. I have to be sorry too,

but I'm not used to drinking coffee.
I drink tea.

No problem. I've prepared it for you.

Thank you. I can tell you're attentive.

I should be.

Actually, what to drink is a matter
of personal preference.

Sometimes, I fear

you don't like Deshan's taste.

I understand.
I hope we can work well together.

I hope so.

Here's one thing

about the tender process...

The process will be handled
as it should be.

I believe Mr. Xin can do it.

Moreover, since Chenghuan
and your son are about to get married,

we're practically a family.

That makes sense.

But after spending more time together,
we'll be closer.

And we will be a true family, right?

- Yes.
- Come on.

- Come on.
- Come on.

Mr. Yao.

Deshan is serious about the bidding.

The new products are already
on the production line.

And the supply cycle will be shortened.

I see. Chenghuan, you see Mr. Xin out.

Alright, bye, Mr. Yao.

- Alright, bye, Mr. Yao.
- Bye.

- Looking forward to our cooperation.
- Looking forward to it.

This way, please.

- This way, please.
- Alright.

I've troubled you this time.

Not at all, Mr. Xin,
it's part of my duties.

Just call me Uncle.

In the workplace, it's appropriate
to call you Mr. Xin.

About the prenuptial agreement,

I just knew about it.

Actually, Jiali has no ill intentions.

She is a bit naive.

I guess she is experiencing baby brain.

Come over to my house
when you have time.

I'll ask Jiali to apologize to you.

Mr. Xin...

I'm expecting Deshan to win the bid.

But the premise is
that Deshan must rely on its strength

and your conscience in doing business.

I don't want to take credit.
I hope you can understand. Take care.

Prenuptial agreement?
They think highly of themselves.

Think about it. At the bidding event,

if you expose the evidence

that Deshan has bribed the executives
of Yueda for years,

will you put Chenghuan

in an awkward predicament?

It's not fair for her at all.

He Dong, did you come here
to do charity or to make money?

I'm trying to persuade you
to reconsider it.

Our target is Dennis.

We don't necessarily have to use Deshan.

I just feel sorry for Mai Chenghuan.

Do you have to give her a hard time?

Don't you know me?

It didn't matter if you're alone.

Now anyhow, she's sort of your sister.

The point is, Chenghuan is very capable

at work.

You give her a job,

and she will get it done in time.

It is hard
to find a serious employee like her.

I believe that if she marries
into the Xin family,

it will be really bad for her.

She better work with me.

Alright, do as you wish.

Don't let others know
about the kickback list.

Especially, no one can know
it came from Mai Chenghuan.

So, you are soft-hearted.

I knew my boss could not be heartless.

Are you finished? Get out.

Hello, everyone.

(Green Home Concept)
I'm Xin Jialiang, Chief Designer of Deshan.

We have proposed a new concept.

The concept of green home.

It refers to environmental protection
and sustainable development.

Green home includes two meanings.

The home interior decorations,
furniture, and appliances are

under the state of natural conservation,

providing people-oriented services

and a convenient and healthy lifestyle.

Thank you.

I think he has a good point.

Thanks for his speech.

And thanks to every supplier
in the bidding today.

Next is the bid evaluation.

Please move to the rest area
to wait for the bid opening, Thank you.

As you can see,
Deshan has competitive advantages.

And it has been cooperating
with us for many years.

I think we know how to choose.

Before the formal voting,

I have documents for you to read.

Assistant He.

What is that?
Why didn't I know about it?

Nothing. Don't ask anymore.

I believe after you read this,

you will make the right decision
for the company.

Mr. Yao, it's time to open the bid.

I'll go inform them to come in.

No need. I'll have He Dong do it.

You go to my office
and get the sample of the contracts.

I've already done it
and placed them on their desks.

You go and get the lunch coupons.

I have already given them.

(Green Home Concept)

(Voting results)

He Dong, what happened?

Just don't ask for now.

Sorry for keeping you all waiting.

Please go to the banquet hall.

We will continue with the bid opening.

He...

Your favorite.

Business first.

Mr. Xin, something seems off.

You're just too nervous.
It's almost a sure thing.

Sorry to have kept everyone waiting.

Based on the principle
of justice and equity,

we'll choose the best supplier.

Now, I have the final result.

Next, I will announce the winner is

Tianhe Home Furnishing. Congratulations.

Yes.

Honorable judges, my company has been

in collaboration with Botticelli.

Our proposal and bid document

are open and transparent.
You've seen it.

And our price is
within a reasonable range.

What is the reason for replacing us?

Mr. Xin, you look at this kickback list.

A kickback list? Really?

(520 Gift Pack Kickback List)

Mr. Dennis, won't you say something?

Xin Jialiang,
why is a kickback list attached

to the supply quotation?

Kickback list? I don't know.

You don't know?

I told Huan

about the discount.

I-I don't know.

You really are my good son.

I really don't know about it.

Guys, who can verify the authenticity
of this kickback list?

As I know, Mai Chenghuan was

in charge of the 520 activity.

And she's Mr. Yao's secretary, right?

Mr. Xin, Mai Chenghuan is my secretary.

But she wasn't
when the 520 activity took place.

Miss Mai, please step forward.

I'm here, Mr. Xin.

Everyone, there's one thing
you might not know.

Miss Mai is my son's girlfriend.

Jialiang likes her very much.

With Miss Mai's pillow talk,

Jialiang lost his mind

and did something stupid.

Miss Mai, well played.

You used your boyfriend
to get a lower price

and achieve what you wanted.

Mr. Xin, I was
in charge of the 520 activity.

Regarding the discount, I negotiate
with Mr. Wang.

It has nothing to do with Jialiang.

You know well how you negotiated it.

But I really admire your tactics.

On one hand,
you slash the price with Deshan.

On the other,
you fabricate this kickback list.

What exactly are you up to?

It's not like that. I...

Enough, no need to argue.
No matter what,

because of this kickback list,
Yueda doubts

Deshan's supply prices
from the past three years.

The Audit Department will scrutinize
the kickback list and see

whether there are any murky dealings
between Deshan and the top of Yueda.

Alright, meeting adjourned.

Wait a moment. I have a report to make.

Yueda exposed the base number
of this tender.

I request to seal the bidding.

(Botticelli 2023-2024 Home Supplies Vendor
Tender Base Number)

Jialiang, I don't know what's going on.

I don't know about the kickback list.

I didn't expose the base number.
You have to believe me.

Huan, I believe you.

But it was sent via your email.

Think about it. If I disclosed it
to Tianhe Home Furnishing,

why was it reported by Zhu Baoqiao?

Xin Jialiang.

Your girlfriend is quite tricky.

She and her boss

set you up.

It's so embarrassing. Get out of here.

Mr. Xin, Jialiang.

Jialiang.

Chenghuan, Mr. Yao is looking for you.

Mai Chenghuan, you explain this to me.

How come Tianhe Home Furnishing
received your email?

I didn't send the email.
I don't know about it.

Someone must have stolen my email.

You don't know
or you don't dare to admit it?

I didn't do it. Why should I admit it?

Calm down.

I'll ask the IT colleague right now.

Mr. Yao, I want to ask you
about something.

What's the deal with the kickback list?

You ask me about that?

I got it along with the base price list.

Check it out on your phone.
You're welcome.

Mr. Wang sent the base price list to me.

I forwarded it directly to Assistant He.

(520 Gift Pack Kickback List)

I let you negotiate
because I think highly of you.

Mr. Yao has officially transferred you
to be his senior secretary.

From now on, report directly
to him for anything.

You don't have to do the rest.
Just make sure the event goes well.

So, after I finished
negotiating the base price,

you told me not to get involved
with the pricing anymore.

And at that time,
you saw the kickback list, right?

From beginning to end,
you've been using me.

You promoted me
and let me in charge of the tender

to make Deshan lower its guard,

so you can find evidence of kickbacks.

Everything you did was
to get rid of Deshan.

Am I right?

Deshan is just a supplier.
It's not worth it for me to do this.

Mr. Dennis, won't you say something?

So, it's to get rid of Dennis.

In short, from start to finish,

I'm just your pawn to bring Deshan
and Dennis into the game.

Am I right?

You tell me what to do.

I am the director of Yueda Group.

With such crucial evidence appearing,

should I still consider your feelings?

I used you as my pawn?

Fine, what do you think you are?

Are you an employee of Yueda Group
or a supporter of Deshan?

Yes, you are right.

I got it wrong.

I just thought

you really had high expectations
of me at work.

So, I was grateful.

I thought
that we looked after Grandma together,

so, we're kind of family.

I thought we could be honest
with each other.

But today, I finally realize

that there are no friends
or relatives in the workplace.
