Love Is Sweet

Love Is Sweet

Episode 1

[Welcomes New Members]

Give me your spare button.

What do you want this for?

The Maya people have a saying

that if you wanna go back to a place,

bury a button there.

Does it work?

Of course.

The Maya people will bless you. Good Luck.

Thank you.

The button thing you told him,

was it true?

I lied

to encourage him.

Hello.

I’m Shen Xin. I was after you in the last interview.

I'm Jiang Jun.

In the recruitment season every year,

MH will get tens of thousands of resumes.

You’ve entered the fourth round,

which means you’ve surpassed

ninety-nine percent of your competitors.

But

this isn’t the end.

I have a question for you.

If you join MH in the future,

what kind of person will you be?

Soros once said that

the financial world was volatile and chaotic.

If we regard the financial market

as part

of a mathematical formula,

it won’t work.

Thus,

math cannot control the financial market.

Psychology is

the key to market control.

Time's up. Next.

Well... Sorry.

I... I haven’t finished.

MH is the top investment banking department

among Shanghai securities dealers,

managing assets valuing tens of billions of Yuan.

Our time is too valuable for you

to waste.

Fifteen seconds for each person. Next.

The financial world is like a forest.

I wanna be a breeder-like investor,

whipping the strong

and taming the weak.

Success is defined as defeating your opponents.

To succeed,

you should find others’ loopholes.

Find the loopholes and attack them,

like Sherlock Holmes did.

That’s why I want to

be an investor like Sherlock Holmes.

The workplace should be filled with peace and respect,

but not slaughtering.

I wanna be the Mo-tse of MH.

Love without wars. Respect talents and seniors.

For the interest of all.

To be MH’s Mo-tse?

What a great mind.

Investment banking is a playground for aspirants,

for Su Qin and Zhang Yi, not Mo-tse.

Be careful.

I

don't like guys without ambition.

You don’t look like an elite.

But

you're the first one to benefit

from MH’s diverse recruitment policies.

Congratulations.

You can attend the interview at 2 p.m.

By the way,

don't be happy too early

The interviewer in the afternoon will be

the invincible God of War of MH.

He

will be much stricter than me.

Currently,

600 million yuan of the 800 million yuan

raised by GE for Hualun Culture Group through bond issuance

has been spent.

If they buy 2% more of stake,

they’ll have

absolute control over VTV.

It’s time to act, isn’t it?

Be quiet. Just wait.

Hey, boss. Still waiting?

You are noisy.

Mr. Du, with two more points,

we’ll be able to help Hualun Culture hold VTV

and complete the acquisition.

MH won’t be able to fight back

in this surprising operation.

[Du Lei Executive Director of GE Securities Investment Banking Department]

Still two points short after such a long time.

Are you happy?

We’ll work harder.

Go and tell Mr. Yuan.

Mr. Yuan. One point to go.

Do it.

[VTV (Suspension)]

Mr. Du. Bad news.

VTV suddenly suspended trading

and announced follow-on offering.

The stakes bought by Hualun

are diluted.

How could it be?

VTV’s CEO just resigned.

The board is in a mess.

How could they have the follow-on offering?

Mr. Du.

There must be another way out.

Don't bother.

We’ve been tricked.

You may all leave.

I don't wanna see you tomorrow.

OK.

It’s done!

You and Chairman of VTV

made a great show.

[Yuan Shuai Executive Director of MH Securities Investment Banking Department]

Some pretended quarreling in the board,

and some resigned.

Not only GE was led by the nose,

but also the whole industry was cheated by you.

Using strategies is the best.

Using social connections is mediocre.

Attacking the opponent

is the worst.

You have my admiration for your strategy.

The well-known Mr. Du Lei

was defeated by your simple plan,

Flip-in Poison Pill.

I assume he went crazy.

That makes sense.

I know him.

The more you want to win,

the more likely you’ll lose judgment.

Boss.

Why are you going to sleep again?

I haven’t finished my report.

Su Chang.

Please let me go.

Last night, for Zhai’s seat in the board,

I helped him with the drinking all over the night.

I still have a headache now.

Be good.

Another new suit?

Or?

Last night, Zhai vomited all over me.

You really take the workplace and the office

as your show stage?

This is my dress for

BUI Investment Bank Alliance Cocktail Party tonight.

Any advice?

Nice dress.

But you look overweight.

I’ll kill you.

Do it.

Ding Tian, the pharmaceutical tycoon

and the richest French-Chinese man, will be there.

Would you be my male partner?

What do you think?

Never mind.

I’ve been used to your rejection.

He’ll only stay in Shanghai for one day.

In the cocktail party, there must be

a lot of people surrounding him.

But I can tell you a secret

to draw his attention for sure.

What is it?

When Ding Tian’s wife and Ding Tian were young,

they worked in African Medical Aid Team.

I wrote his wife’s Arabic name

on your back.

I’m sure you’ll get his attention.

What a wild trick.

It's not in his public information at all.

I did a donation for African medical aid team on the behalf of MH half one year ago

on behalf of MH half a year ago.

Tell him when you’re there.

The starting pistol hasn’t fired,

yet you’ve reached the finishing line.

How impressive.

I didn’t expect it.

I didn’t know it

when I did the donation.

You can take it

as a reward for your good deed.

I’m here to give you the resumes

about the interview this afternoon.

[Jiang Jun]

This girl is quite interesting.

What’s her name again?

[Email WeChat Address]

She said she’d be Mo-tse.

Freak.

Love without wars.

Respect talents and seniors.

For the interest of all.

Are you OK?

Nothing.

Don’t play cool in front me.

I’ll pick the best-looking fruit on the tree,

whether mature or not.

I’m going to the interview.

Suit yourself.

[GUANG HUA BUILDING]

Hello, Xu Li.

Hello, Jiang Jun.

How is the interview going?

It’ll be the fifth and final interview in a while.

I have no idea

if I can get the offer.

Don’t be dispirited.

Have some faith in yourself.

I believe you.

Getting into MH’s final interview,

you’re already elite.

You’re a top student in economics,

and also the only postgraduate in our dorm.

With the bonus luck from me,

you can surely accomplish your dream

and get into this corporation

Well. Thanks for your encouragement and support.

Rest assured. I’ll do my best.

Come on.

I’ll wait at home to celebrate it tonight.

Bye.

There’s big news in Hong Kong stock market two days ago.

Shimao Technology planned to acquire Yangsheng Power

and quoted.

You guys may analyze

whether MH should buy

Yangsheng Power’s stocks now.

I think we should.

Yangsheng Power’s stock price is

35 Hong Kong dollars now.

After the merger, it’s conservatively estimated

to rise by 17 percent.

Mere three million shares

will give us great influence in the market.

After the merger,

Ma Yuke, Shimao Technology’s major shareholder,

will become Yangsheng Power’s

new chairman.

He's an investment master.

If we buy now,

the annual profit per share will exceed

442 Hong Kong dollars.

I don’t think this deal will succeed.

Yangsheng Power has declined for 3 consecutive years,

yet the leadership's wage doubled.

Ma Yuke is crafty.

He won’t be optimistic about Yangsheng Power.

If he isn’t optimistic about Yangsheng Power,

why would he acquire it for Shimao Technology?

Ma Yuke is Shimao Technology’s shareholder.

His ex-wife had five percent stake

in Yangsheng Power.

I assume his quotation on behalf of Shimao

is just a make-believe shot.

He’s trying to inflate its share price.

Any transaction,

and any investment come with risk.

Profit and risk are like twin brothers.

We need wolf-like recruits,

not sheep.

So, the principle of today’s interview is,

wolves will stay,

and sheep will leave.

crying girl.

[GUANG HUA BUILDING]

Are you alright?

I’m fine.

Let me help you.

No, thanks.

I'll do it myself.

[Financial Times]

Here.

Sorry.

Never mind.

Put it on.

A souvenir from Mr. Yuan for your one-day trip here.

Wait.

May I use your phone

and express my thanks to Mr. Yuan?

Thank you.

Mr. Yuan. Let’s wait and see.

I will not lose to you.

Thanks.

Yuan Shuai. Wait and see.

I will not lose to you.

Mr. Yuan. Wait and see.

I will not lose to you.

Boss. You heard it.

She said

she’d never lose to you.

Meddlesome.

I’m really confused.

She did well

in the last round of interview.

What a nice girl.

How could you reject her?

Put your sympathy

on other women.

Don’t put mind on her.

It sounds as if

you know her.

A woman who cannot even shed tears

can never survive in this Colosseum.

It’s for her own good to reject her.

Su Chang.

Help me get her

a consulting job that suits her.

If any company hires her

as per MH’s treatment,

I’m willing to offer it

free investment consultancy for one year.

Free for one year?

Are you sure?

Just do it.

[Jiang Jun]

Mo-tse said,

“Love without wars. Respect…”

Jiang Jun. Where's my water bottle?

Take it.

Thanks.

Love without wars.

Respect talents,

and seniors.

Frugal in life,

and thrifty in funeral.

Restraint from rituals.

Mo-tse said,

“Love...”

Jiang Jun.

Look.

We did a full examination.

It’s confirmed that

your daughter’s tear allergy gets worse.

Worse? How bad is it?

That is, if she sheds tears again,

she’ll go into shock.

She may die if not treated timely.

You mean she will...

Don’t worry.

As long as she isn’t exposed to allergens,

it won’t be a problem.

That is,

as long as she doesn’t contact tears,

her daily life

won’t be affected.

Thank you, Dr. Chen.

My pleasure.

Yuan Shuai.

Thanks for protecting Jiang Jun.

No big deal.

You're two years older than Jiang Jun.

So you’re her elder brother.

I’ve watched you grow up.

You’re the smartest of all the kids.

Can I

ask you for a favor?

What is it?

At school in the future,

no matter what happens,

you’ll help me protect Jiang Jun.

Do not let her cry.

Alright?

You have my word.

Thank you, sir.

But, will you pay me 10 yuan

every month in the future?

Of course.

Rest assured, sir.

You can count on me.

Every penny you pay me

will be worthy.

Deal.

Deal.

What did you say?

The interviewer today was the boy

who lived opposite your home

and was bribed by your father to protect you?

I can recognize him even if he turns into ashes.

Seriously?

How could your childhood guardian

reject you?

He wasn’t my guardian.

He’s a thug.

My dad paid him for nothing.

To earn pocket money from my dad,

he asked others to bully me in the dark.

I was too timid

to fight back.

From elementary school to high school,

he’d been a nightmare to me.

What happened then?

Then he did something

that made me hate him forever.

My father transferred me to another school then.

If that’s the case,

he’s supposed to feel guilty to you.

Why did he drive you out of MH?

Babe.

Will a hungry wolf feel sorry

for a sheep in his belly?

It’s OK if I’m rejected for incompetence.

I swear there was no problem with my interview.

I could absolutely pass it.

He did it on purpose.

I won’t let it go.

Who is it?

No idea.

[Hello I’m YS]

[Added]

[Jiang Jun has accepted your request]

You are?

Yuan Shuai.

I am Yuan Shuai.

Is he nuts? He added me on WeChat!

Today I rejected you for your own good.

A smart guy

should do things properly in a proper position.

You’re lucky.

A company needs a director assistant,

with annual salary at least 300,000 yuan,

and huge chance for promotion.

I can recommend you there.

[You’re not her friend yet. Send a friend request for verification first]

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

I will get into MH in an upright way.

I’ll let him know

he can never determine others’ fate.

Exactly.

Where there's oppression, there's resistance.

Jiang Jun. I support you.

Cheers.

But we’re nobody.

How should we resist?

My connection is no joke.

I asked our top model’s

sister’s pursuer’s fellow’s

classmate’s brother’s neighbor for help.

The Mr. Wang got us the tickets to BUI.

I also heard that

the one who has been recuperating,

namely Vice President of MH,

manager of the Investment Banking Department,

Lin Taimo,

would also be there.

He’d be there, too!

You admire him most, don't you?

Think about it.

In case that you meet him

and tell him about the internal unfair business,

then...

Then what?

Make a scene

and complain that I was bullied by Yuan Shuai?

Uh-huh.

No way.

Many people are rejected every year.

Even if I meet Lin Taimo,

he cannot remember me. What to say?

Trust me.

Just

get dressed up for the party.

You can count on me

for the rest.

[INVITATION]

[Welcome BUI Investment Bank Alliance Cocktail Party]

Mr. Du. Mr. Du.

Mr. Du. Mr. Du.

You lost to Mr. Yuan of MH again.

Do you have any story to share with us?

Sorry, everyone.

We’re just here for the party.

Follow GE’s official media for more news,

as well as press conference.

Ms. Ling. You had worked for MH

before you joined GE.

Does this loss mean

there’s still disparity between the strength

of two companies?

Investment banking is a battlefield.

It’s common to win some or lose some.

We’ve been keeping a friendly partnership

with MH.

We’re rivals but also friends.

A business case won’t affect

the goal of win-win cooperation.

Mr. Du. Because of you,

Hualun Culture lost nearly one billion yuan.

Shouldn’t you be responsible

for such a failure?

One billion?

Do you have any basis to say that?

We didn’t get the controlling interest,

but we still hold VTV’s stocks.

Excuse me.

Ms. Ling, could you say something?

Sorry.

Never mind.

Mr. Fan.

MH beat the rival GE again.

Do you have anything to say?

MH never meant to beat anyone.

Our principle is

to benefit our clients the most,

preventing the market and companies

suffering from unscrupulous capitals.

Mr. Yuan.

This morning VTV abruptly suspended trading for follow-on offering,

-defeating Hualun’s malicious acquisition. -The big devil.

It’s said that you were behind all this.

Do you have anything to say about that?

Keep going

in a low profile.

I heard that it’s Director Du Lei of GE

who helped Hualun with the acquisition.

He's been your old rival.

This time you defeated him again.

Do you have anything to say to him?

He may work harder.

Sure.

Mr. Fan. What's the new plan for MH this year?

Could you tell us something about it?

-We have a huge acquisition plan. -I won.

It’s still in progress.

If there’s any news,

we’ll tell you as soon as possible.

Alright?

Just ignore him.

You’ll win back.

Got it.

The business goes well this year.

The company is also doing very well.

So I hope we can keep up the good work

and do better.

Buddy.

Is that Yuan Shuai?

Compared with this year...

Excuse me.

Sure.

Yeah. What are you gonna do?

Thanks.

Yuan Shuai. Why didn’t you reply my message?

Is she crazy?

Who are you?

You don’t love me anymore, do you?

Hey.

Do I know you?

What the hell are you talking about?

You said you didn’t know me?

Did you hear that?

He’s pretending that he doesn't know me.

You're pretending you don't know me.

Back then you called me your sweetheart,

your baby.

Now you say you don't know me?

Is it true?

I've never heard

that Yuan Shuai had a girlfriend.

You bastard.

You scumbag abandoning your wife and kid!

Lady.

You mean I’m your boyfriend, right?

OK.

Let me ask you.

Where do I live?

When is my birthday?

What's my phone number?

Do you know?

Alright.

Since we’re talking about girlfriend,

my girlfriend

happens to be here today.

Here?

Who's his girlfriend?

-Who? -Who?

Who is it?

-Who? -Who?

My girlfriend is right here.

His girlfriend?

Miss.

Don’t run! Stop!

What a bad day!

Why did you fool me over and over?

I didn’t meet Lin Taimo,

yet left in such a disgrace.

Is this man a demon?

Are you talking about me, Crying Girl?

How did you know I would be here?

You used to go to high places

whenever you were upset.

It’s been so many years.

You’re still so predictable.

Yeah.

You can see through the mind.

Take a guess then.

What do I want to do now?

You got a terrible actress,

yet she’s your friend.

I humiliated her in public.

Now you must want to yell at me,

but you don’t know how to put it.

It’s OK.

Just yell at me if you want.

Congratulations, but you’re wrong.

You’re not worthy of my anger.

Say it.

Why did you drive me out of MH?

Watch your language.

You’ve never been inside MH.

My interview result was definitely

good enough to get me hired.

And as I know,

in the last five years,

MH hasn’t rejected any interviewee

in the final interview.

Congratulations, Ms. Jiang.

You set a precedent.

Isn’t it an honor?

Look closely,

you’re such a bastard.

Look more closely then.

Could a bastard be so handsome?

I’ll definitely get into MH.

You will definitely not.

Yuan Shuai. Even a sheep will bite.

Bite me then.

Do it.

Bite me.

Bite here.

I didn’t let you into MH

for your own good.

Take it as a lesson.

It’s not a loss.

For my own good? A lesson?

So far, the most terrible lesson in my life

is to trust you.

My father asked you to protect me.

But you,

you tried all means to bully me.

If not for you,

I wouldn’t have transferred to another school.

Now I still have nightmares.

Do you know that?

[My Chinese Heart Speech Competition]

Dear teachers,

classmates,

the topic of my speech is

My Chinese Heart.

The Great Wall...

Can you do that?

Yeah. Get down if you can’t.

Don’t waste our time.

-Get down! -Get down!

What are you doing?

-Get down! -Get down!

Get down!

[My Chinese Heart]

Jiang Jun!

Jiang Jun!

Jiang Jun!

Don’t cry.

You didn’t lose your speech script.

Look.

I have your script.

It wasn’t lost.

Look.

It’s... It’s you. You...

Wake up. Jiang Jun!

From then on, I had been too ashamed

to stay at Qingcheng High School.

I had to transfer to another school.

I can’t believe I’d meet you again

after so many years.

You should know

in the circle of investment banking,

females account for less than 20 percent.

This job requires capability, endurance,

and stress resistance.

Even many men can’t do it.

Not to mention you.

You’re even allergic to tears.

What made you exclude me

from the 20 percent?

Since they can do it, why can’t I?

Whatever you say,

I won’t escape anymore.

Let me tell you, Yuan Shuai.

I will get into MH.

What are you doing?

Don’t.

Don't move.

Go back with me.

I have no time

to take you to the hospital if you cry.

Be good.

Let me go, Yuan Shuai!

Let me go, Yuan Shuai!

Let me go!

Be good.

Yuan Shuai, let me go!

Let go of me!

Watch out!

Yuan Shuai and his girlfriend!

Here Yuan Shuai is!

Go! Go!

-Coming! -Hurry.

Yuan Shuai, is she your girlfriend?

No photos!

Stop it!

Shoot again

and I’ll sue you for privacy violation!

Leave!

Jiang Jun!

Jiang Jun!

Jiang Jun!

Jiang Jun!

Jiang Jun!

Jiang Jun.

Yes?

I’ve made detailed statistics and analysis

of your responses to various emergencies

over the last year.

I divide quarrels into nine levels,

school bullying into 6 categories and 18 types.

After the experiment of one year,

I find that

you can only bear argument-level conflict.

You're absolutely defenseless

against various bullying in school.

Your resistance

against insects and invertebrates

has no improvement at all.

Jiang Jun.

Jiang Jun.

Hey.

You have to listen to me.

You like drawing.

But look at these.

You only draw

little rabbits, sheep, puppies,

these weak and cute animals.

I suggest that

you can start with your hobby

and draw some aggressive animals

to improve yourself

Jiang Jun. You hear me?

A wolf?
