=Step By Step Love=

=Episode 26=

Yes, it's her.

Here she is.

How is it going?

It's a total mess now.

It's all your fault.

- Yes. - You're responsible for this.

You must give us an explanation.

Solve it today. Don't try to fool us.

Everyone, calm down.

We will come up with a solution

to resolve this matter.

- Stop it. - I will...

What can you do?

Let's not listen to her.

We shouldn't have trusted her.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have been in such a big trouble.

Exactly.

Back then, you promised us.

What about now? What else can you say?

This matter is very simple.

If you can't solve this,

none of you will leave here.

No one can leave.

Don't push me.

Solve it right now.

What are you doing?

Stop it.

What do you want?

Fix it now.

Guys.

Pinshang is already

investigating this incident.

Due to our oversight in management,

it has caused trouble for you all.

I apologize to all of you here.

I promise you all.

No matter what it takes,

I will not let any of you

suffer any loss.

I hope that you can give us more time

before we find the truth.

Enough.

Drop the act,

and stop fooling us.

I don't buy it.

Give us a solution right now.

Right away.

Do you hear us?

Solve it.

Fix it.

I've just come back from the district government.

I believe

a review team will be dispatched

to audit the project.

Please be patient.

It will be resolved in the end.

- How? - We can't wait.

Tell us now.

You can leave to fix it,

but she must stay.

Yeah, she stays here.

Listen to me.

If you take down this cordon,

I can give you more days.

It's okay if you can't listen to me.

Bu Ran, let's go.

You can't leave.

Stop.

You can't leave.

- Let go! - You haven't solved it.

- Come back. - Stop it.

Stop pushing.

You are not allowed to leave.

- Let go! Don't push me. - You hit me.

You hit me.

Let go.

Can't leave.

Let go!

You hit me.

Can't let them leave.

Cenyang.

You are going too far.

Cenyang, are you alright?

I'm okay.

Are you satisfied now?

If anything happens to Mr. Lu,

things will become trickier.

We only need a few more days to fix it.

Can't you trust us?

Bring it on.

Do whatever you want.

We'll see if the issue can be fixed.

Let's go.

You've gone too far.

What should we do?

What should we do?

Mom.

You've promoted Qin Xun to be the executive president?

He used to be a barista.

Does he have business acumen?

Anyway, he knows how to deal with Lu Cenyang.

He only can play petty tricks.

You know better than me

about Qin Xun's real identity.

Lu Mingyu adopted Lu Cenyang

and even entrusted the company to him.

But Lu Mingyu abandoned Qin Xun,

his biological son.

In this world,

the two of them are

against each other.

Mom.

Even if that Qin Xun is a bit clever,

don't forget

he is Lu Mingyu's biological son.

How could he work in Yihua?

I am not senile.

Once we defeat Lu Cenyang,

give him a reward.

I'll hand over Pinshang to Qin Xun.

This way, we can avoid being hampered by him

and bind ourselves closely to him

to prevent a comeback from Lu Cenyang.

Even if Lu Cenyang can stop Yihua

from being listed,

we can still use Qin Xun

to hold him back.

As long as Lu Cenyang remains grateful to Lu Mingyu,

Qin Xun can restrict him.

Therefore, before that,

any reward we give him

is well worth it.

Moreover,

both of them care about Bu Ran.

Mom.

Your strategy is truly brilliant.

But, isn't it too much for Qin Xun?

His position

was originally intended for Zihe.

He's a disobedient,

incompetent grandson.

He brought this on himself.

No matter how reluctant you are,

bear with it.

Do not interfere.

And do not pick a fight with Bu Ran

in case of affecting Qin Xun.

If Zihe inherits nothing

in the end,

I will definitely divorce you.

It's exactly what I want.

Excuse me.

The female designer of Pinshang,

has she been here already?

She didn't help.

The problem hasn't been solved.

They left after being beaten.

I didn't expect that.

Though you guys were anxious,

you can't resort to violence.

Cenyang grew up here.

How could you hurt him?

But he deceived us.

I didn't hit him hard.

Next time, I won't be so gentle.

You...

Ms. Wang, Mr. Lu is injured?

He got injured

while protecting Ran.

Where are they now?

They went that way.

I...

I didn't do it on purpose.

Hurry back.

Let's go.

You...

I'm so angry.

Why are they so unreasonable?

They even hit people.

Your wound is so deep.

What if it leaves a scar?

I'm actually quite grateful to them.

You're grateful to them?

Are you being silly?

Yes, you're a fool.

You have the hardest head?

You saw that hoe coming down.

Why didn't you avoid it?

It was worth it, though.

What?

I thought you would never talk to me again.

It's a blessing in disguise.

Otherwise, you'd still be away from me

instead of tending to my wound here?

I wish they had hit me harder,

so I could be hospitalized

and you could stay with me.

You're crazy.

Hello?

Hello?

Got it.

I'll be right back.

A workgroup came

to my company for investigation.

I have to go. I'll give you a ride.

No need.

You do your things.

Ms. Wang must be worried about you.

I'll go and tell her you're fine.

Just give her a call.

Don't stay here.

You must be careful about safety.

Got it. You can go.

Qin Xun, I need your help.

I'm busy right now.

I'll call you back.

Alright, see you at the Old Pal's.

Cenyang.

Are you injured?

I'm okay.

Where are they?

They are at the office.

Hello, Mr. Lu.

This is my business card.

(Qin Xun, Executive Director)

It is you.

It seems I have to win a business battle

and defeat a dark knight.

The district government attaches great importance

to the issues

on the Ancient Alley project.

They have entrusted Yihua Group

to conduct a compliance review of this project.

I'm responsible

for the forthcoming review work.

I hope for your active cooperation.

Certainly.

Why don't we sit and talk?

I have some questions.

Please answer honestly.

I can decide

whether the project can be resumed.

Please make a fair decision

without something private.

Certainly.

I have looked into it.

Residents are upset about the mismanagement

which led to the project's suspension.

Will you hold the person responsible accountable

to calm their anger?

This is what you're here for.

You're here not to solve the problem,

but to exacerbate it.

Bu Ran is in charge of this project.

And she proposed the plan.

You really always

shift the blame onto Bu Ran, huh?

Mr. Lu.

Is this your corporate culture?

Rest assured,

Pinshang takes the responsibility.

And you don't need to know who is in charge.

I've heard that the designer Chen Manni

was poached by Ms. Yao.

You're showing favoritism, Mr. Lu.

You just reminded me not to make things private.

Mr. Lu.

It's a double standard.

You...

You have provided me with a solution.

Give me one day.

I will give you a satisfactory reply.

No problem.

However, my patience is limited.

Be efficient.

I actually have

such a terrible half-brother.

He joined Yihua for Bu Ran

and specifically targeted us.

I owed Bu Ran.

Pinshang provided Bu Ran

with a platform to deploy her talent.

He should be grateful.

You know it.

This isn't just about work.

I broke up with her.

I owed her.

Let's focus our minds

on how to deal with Qin Xun.

Yihua leads the re-evaluation.

So our people

cannot convince the crowd.

Siqi.

You find authoritative experts

as soon as possible

and let them work

with us to review the project design and materials

to ensure even the most critical people can't find any faults.

But Qin Xun proposed

that someone from Pinshang

must take responsibility for this managerial negligence.

This is his real purpose.

Qin Xun came prepared this time.

Bu Ran has been in charge of this project.

And the materials went wrong.

So, Bu Ran...

No way.

I won't let her take the fall.

Cenyang.

Can you

watch us lose everything

we worked so hard to get

and return to square one?

I can't lose anything again.

I don't want to endure it again.

For me

and our company,

make the right decision,

okay?

Enough.

I don't want to talk about this.

How is your wound?

I'm not concerned about you.

I'm just...

If you are not,

my wound might not heal.

Whatever.

Have they made things difficult for you?

All I can say is that they mean no good.

What are you doing?

I...

You will get hurt again.

What are you doing?

What's with you today?

You're in a suit.

I've found a job.

You've switched jobs?

I've worked for Yihua.

Yihua?

Why?

Lu Siqi stopped at nothing

to defeat you.

She has already hurt you.

But Lu Cenyang turned a blind eye

to that.

I had to give them a lesson.

Just because of this,

you worked with Yihua

to halt the Ancient Alley project?

Not really.

Before I came,

as the person responsible for the project review,

I met with Lu Cenyang

and discussed solutions with him.

I think you try to make matters worse.

Do you realize

that you will cause Lu Cenyang,

no, I mean, Pinshang a lot of trouble?

I don't care.

All I know is

that you are my bottom line.

Let me make it clear.

I broke up with Lu Cenyang,

but it's none of your business.

I don't need others to stand up for me.

If you really care about me as a friend,

please stop immediately.

Pinshang and I are already in the same boat.

Before Pinshang collapses,

the boat will only speed up.

Qin Xun, have you gone mad?

Bu Ran.

Stop worrying about Pinshang.

Lu Cenyang deserves it.

What on earth is wrong with you?

Oh, right.

You probably don't know

that my last name is Lu.

Lu Mingyu abandoned me.

So, Lu Cenyang

took everything from me.

Can't I just

teach him a lesson?

Didn't you tell me you grew up abroad?

You said your father was an architect.

He...

Yes.

My dad was devoted to his work back then

and let my mom take me away.

Later, I heard

he failed to cooperate with Yihua and killed himself.

I saw the news

and saw your photo for the first time.

I see.

Back then, in the restaurant,

you got close to me on purpose.

But I never intended

to use you.

Everything I did for you was sincere.

I know.

No matter why you appeared by my side,

or why you wanted to be my friend,

I can accept it.

I'm not stupid.

You've been caring about me.

I can feel that you're not using me.

But what I can't accept the most is

that you're about to become

like my Grandma.

(The designer Bu Ran)

(used non-compliant materials on the Ancient Alley project,)

(causing the project to be halted.)

(It is rumored that she once dropped out of school)

(and became the person)

(in charge of the project through abnormal connections.)

(Online criticism to Bu Ran)

Did you see it?

We must let go of Bu Ran.

How could Bu Ran be involved?

(Reporter Wang.)

(Bu Ran is to blame for the issue)

(of the Ancient Alley.)

(Work stoppage won't defeat me. I'll resume the Ancient Alley project.)

(Visible to Bu Ran only)

(Send)

After she saw my WeChat Moments,

she showed up

and got targeted.

It's not my fault.

You...

Things have come to this.

If Bu Ran can take all the blame,

Pinshang will be safe.

Lu Siqi.

Her reputation is already ruined.

She can sacrifice a little for the company.

And we can compensate her.

Shut up.

I thought you were just capricious.

But I didn't expect you to be so unscrupulous.

Can you tell right from wrong?

Cenyang.

What are you talking about?

Yi Zihe kidnapped you,

and that was your idea.

You did it to force me to break up with Bu Ran.

Is that true?

No, it's not.

I didn't.

I've been thinking about it.

You're not the type to suffer in silence.

I wonder why you forgave Yi Zihe

after being hurt.

That's why I talked to Yi Zihe.

I've never told you

because the crux between Bu Ran and me doesn't lie with you.

But I can't get it.

You've driven her away.

Why do you keep hurting her over and over again?

Lu Siqi.

Why are you like this

after getting your memory back?

If our dad were still alive,

he would be disappointed in you too.

- Why are you here? - How have you been?

I am good.

I just came to see you.

As for the Ancient Alley thing,

don't worry about it.

I will handle it.

Yes.

Everything will be fixed.

Aren't you supposed to be busy fixing your problems?

What do you see me for?

Let's make a deal.

I'm leaving Pinshang,

and you do what you should do.

I am doing what I should.

Pinshang is not your target.

Siqi should not be your enemy.

You can target me.

You are my foster father's son.

His ambition should not be discontinued.

And Bu Ran,

she just wants to be a good designer.

Don't get her involved.

Alright.

Go ahead.

What can I do

for you?

Ms. Yao.

I'm very sorry about last time.

At the time, I really thought

you said angry words that you would be with Yi Zihe.

I didn't take it seriously.

But that's not why I came to see you.

I know that someone needs to be responsible.

I could be the one.

You must have seen the news online.

Everyone believes the cause of this matter lies

in the materials I recommended.

Given this,

I think you should draft a PR statement

and shift all the blame onto me

so that the project could resume,

and Pinshang could turn the corner.

I see.

You think

you can't get your way out this time.

So,

you chose to let me owe you, right?

I indeed did not

select the building materials strictly.

It's my mistake. I am willing to take responsibility.

Alright, I agree.

Hello?

What?

I'm sorry.

My journey at Pinshang is coming to an end.

The Ancient Alley is the place where my dad lived.

I have deep feelings for it.

I didn't expect there were problems with the materials used

in the project.

The designer

who is being denounced online

has nothing to do with it.

Before this accident, designer Bu Ran

had already resigned.

All subsequent related plans

were audited by the company first

and then implemented.

I bear direct responsibility

for any problems.

There is no reason to shift the blame onto anyone else.

So, I will bear the consequences.

Today,

I will resign

and will no longer interfere

with the business of Pinshang.

Thanks to my colleagues,

partners,

and friends.

Thank you for your companionship.

I hope you will continue to support Pinshang.

I, Lu Cenyang,

would like to apologize again.

Everyone,

take care.

Are you satisfied now?

I can no longer find any faults

with the project.

I'll submit my report to the relevant departments.

I will transfer my shares

to Siqi as quickly as possible.

You also have your shares.

I have paid my price.

I hope you'll keep your promise

and let the project resume smoothly.

I already have a plan

in mind.

Besides,

you have no right to manage it now.

Dad gave Pinshang to you.

I have never seen

you value anything over Pinshang

and Dad.

Yet today,

you have given up Pinshang

and me

for Bu Ran.

I underestimated Bu Ran.

I misjudged what she means

to you.

Qin Xun.

What are you doing here?

Are you looking for Lu Cenyang?

He has already left.

He resigned because of you?

Pretty much.

Qin Xun.

I have

made it very clear to you.

I really appreciate that you stand up for me.

But I'm not happy.

Now, because of me, Lu Cenyang has left Pinshang.

What will happen to Pinshang?

What about the Ancient Alley project?

Please stop it, okay?

Sure.

As long as you agree to be my girlfriend,

I'll do whatever you say.

I'm serious.

I'm serious too.

Bu Ran.

I've always said that I really like you.

But I don't know

why you still chose Lu Cenyang.

What did you see in him?

It's okay you make choices for yourself.

But don't involve me.

And don't target Pinshang.

Bu Ran.

We could become friends

because we are both very stubborn.

You want me to back off?

Fine.

As long as you're with me

and stop thinking about Lu Cenyang.

I will keep my promise.

You're right.

We are both stubborn people.

That's why I can't use love as a bargaining chip.

I've known you for so long.

I am sure you know

what the right thing to do is.

In the business war,

there is no right or wrong.

And the same goes for relationships.

Only the stronger one

will not get hurt.

Bu Ran.

One day you will understand

that I can

give you the power to refuse Ms. Hua.

Unexpectedly,

we disagreed with each other today.

You do your work.

I'm leaving.

Bu Ran.

Choosing me

means choosing to have more initiative.

I don't care for that.

(President, Lu Cenyang)

Xu, have you seen Lu Cenyang?

No.

What do you mean?

We have less work to do actually.

We don't want to waste time

at work.
