=Young Babylon=

Bai Lan.

There must be someone we've missed.

Stop flipping through that.

We've called everyone we could

at least twice.

Are you hungry?

Let's grab something to eat.

=Episode 23= =If Only There Was Another Possibility=

Alright.

(Good Cat Restaurant)

It's been a while since you ate here, hasn't it?

I used to find it odd.

Now, I haven't had it in a long time.

I even miss it a bit.

When you go back to Shanghai,

I'll ask the owner to pack a big portion for you to take away.

Actually, I don't know why.

But this time coming back, I don't feel like going back to Shanghai.

Really?

I get it.

The pace of life in Shanghai is so fast.

The pressure must be huge.

Consider days in Fucheng a vacation.

That's also pretty good.

Is the flavor too bland?

Add some of this seafood chili sauce.

I pickled it myself.

Sir, do you remember me?

On August 7, 1996, just one minute

to eight o'clock.

Wasn't it you two?

Hard to forget that.

Enjoy.

My dear,

look at my watch.

One minute

before 8 PM on August 7, 1996.

Remember this moment.

Because in the next minute,

I am about to become your boyfriend.

We were so silly back then.

Is being silly bad?

We did so many foolish things.

Right.

Back then,

together, we caught a pervert,

scared a German expert,

and even helped Afang deal with Ding Dezhong.

It's been so many years.

Feels like it was just yesterday.

Right.

How could I forget her?

- Who? - Afang.

After Afang left Fucheng,

she went to Guangzhou.

And then?

She became an agent for foreign food brands in Guangzhou,

and she's thriving.

We could ask her for help.

Xiaolu,

I just checked the map.

From Fucheng to Guangzhou

is over a thousand kilometers.

If we hurry,

we can make it in over half a day.

Bai Lan,

with just that address above,

can you find her?

I think we should be able to.

Xiaolu says this is something Afang had someone bring back

from Guangzhou before.

But you only have three days left.

If this trip to Guangzhou doesn't work out,

you'll completely run out of time.

We don't have any other choice.

Right, here's the information you asked for.

Thank you.

I'll leave the factory in your hands while I'm away.

Don't worry. If there's any news about Huang Qing,

I'll contact you immediately.

Have a safe trip.

Goodbye.

Bye.

Bye-bye.

Have a safe trip.

You're awake.

Yeah.

Now,

just relax,

and dream

about the free life that's coming.

I've been thinking.

Maybe it was right for you to come back from Shanghai to Fucheng.

If you were still with me,

you might just be

a high-level salaryman in Shanghai,

not as free as you are now.

That's not necessarily true.

If I hadn't left Shanghai back then,

maybe the next year

I would have successfully gotten into university.

Or maybe

I would have been promoted

in a five-star hotel.

Maybe by now,

we could have been a carefree couple running a small business.

♪Lingering heart flutters♪

But none of those happened.

That's right.

So, we can only look forward.

♪Every restless night♪

♪Expectations grow a little more♪

Ms. Tao,

something's wrong.

A guest beat our people in the parking lot.

Call the police.

It's Boss Hu from Lide Company.

Let's go and see.

Stop!

Ms. Tao,

this is

your man, right?

He said there's no parking space when there is.

Shouldn't he be hit?

Boss Hu,

this parking spot

is reserved for guests of the presidential suite.

Presidential suite?

Do I count as a VIP?

Back when you ran the karaoke place,

you looked down on me,

called me a thug,

and wouldn't let me in.

Now, I'm a respectable person.

Money.

In RMB.

You're drunk.

I'll give you a room.

Have a good sleep.

On the house.

Will you keep me company?

If you don't, I won't go.

Don't push it.

Just joking.

Find me a couple of girls, and I'll go.

As for you,

you're too familiar.

I can't really make a move.

What's going on?

Lu Dajiang?

How did you end up like this?

This outfit suits him, right?

Dajiang.

Go.

- Lu Dajiang. - Dajiang!

Do you still think this is the past?

Look at you.

You're just a janitor now.

Still think you're Boss Ma?

It's the 21st century.

Boss Ma is outdated.

Get him!

- Dajiang! - Ms. Tao!

Dajiang!

- Dajiang! - Let's go.

Dajiang!

Dajiang!

Get Boss Hu out!

- He hit Boss Hu! - Dajiang!

Ms. Tao, let's go!

Dajiang, stop hitting him!

You could kill him, Dajiang!

Let go! Stop hitting him, Dajiang!

You could kill him!

Dajiang!

- Ms. Tao! - Don't touch me!

Thank you for today.

Have we really

become so estranged now?

You're hurt.

Let me take you to the hospital.

I'm fine.

I haven't finished my work.

I'm leaving now.

Lu Dajiang.

The day you came back,

we threw a banquet for you. Why didn't you show up?

Were you afraid to see me?

If you've forgotten me already,

why do you keep the letter I gave you?

Why keep the scarf I gave you?

Every day you pretend to clean,

right up to the hotel entrance.

Is the entrance

your responsibility? Answer me.

Tao,

it's been so many years.

Why can't you let it go?

You left for Hong Kong without a word,

not even a goodbye.

Not even a goodbye!

What happened back then was my fault.

But now I'm just a janitor.

You shouldn't waste

any more time on me.

Can't you see it?

In these past few years in prison,

I've moved on

from the past.

Don't go!

Don't go!

Don't touch me!

What did you do?

What did you do?

Didn't you say you'd take me with you?

Weren't you going to let me accompany you?

Why did you leave me behind?

You liar!

You big liar!

What did you do?

♪Memories never seem to cease♪

♪Staying in the day we met♪

♪Just let it be vague♪

Will you leave me?

(Guangzhou)

Hello.

We're here to see

Liu Fang, the general manager of Xiaoran International Trade.

Do you two have an appointment?

No.

Sorry, you can't enter without an appointment.

There seems to be no one named Liu Fang in their company.

Are you looking for Ms. Liu Yang instead?

Sorry, no.

Didn't you contact her?

I did,

but couldn't get through.

But she's our only lead.

We can only

try our luck.

We've wasted another day.

Just wait a bit longer.

What if she comes out after work?

Even if it's until tomorrow morning.

Look.

Do you see that star?

That one

is a weather-predicting star.

Though there are

dark clouds

everywhere,

as long as there's one star,

tomorrow will be a good day.

So,

before tomorrow comes,

let's not give up yet.

Didn't know you could read the skies.

Watched the stars too much. That's why.

Actually, on the day you drank too much

and asked me to buy more liquor,

I saw it all when I came back.

Though I don't like

that Mr. Huang,

it's good

that someone is taking care of you.

What are you laughing at?

You don't think

I'm involved with him, do you?

Isn't it?

Of course not.

Lu Xiaolu,

you're back with the liquor?

Here I come.

Coming.

Mr. Huang.

Are you okay?

I'm fine. Don't worry.

Good night.

It turns out

that I misunderstood.

Is that Afang?

Afang!

Xiaolu!

Afang!

Bai Lan!

I haven't been called Afang for a long time.

No wonder you couldn't find me.

This is my new name.

Lily Liu.

Haven't seen you in years.

You've changed a lot.

Of course.

But you two haven't changed.

Back in the factory,

I could see

you were made for each other.

Are you together now?

How's it going?

Married yet?

No.

You misunderstood.

We're just friends.

Sorry about that.

No worries.

So,

what brings you all the way here

to find me?

Xiaolu and I have started a project,

and we hope you can join us.

Take a look at the proposal first.

Food factory.

Here's the thing.

Since your company deals with food trade,

this project

is really suitable for collaboration with you.

Xiaolu,

Bai Lan.

Did you forget

how I left the food factory?

But now, the food factory

is different from before.

The leadership has been completely changed.

The people you disliked are gone.

It's my company

that has taken over the food factory.

I am now the general manager.

Do you know why I changed my name?

It was to forget that

disgusting past.

I'm truly happy

to see you both again.

Back when I was down,

out of so many in the factory,

only you two sincerely stood by my side.

I remember

the favor I owe you.

But this factory,

I never want to have anything to do with it again in my life,

let alone save it.

Moreover, I now prefer

developing new domestic brands.

The introduction of imported brands

is no longer the focus of our business.

Sorry.

I really can't help you.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Oh, by the way,

I brought you

a small gift this time.

Even if we can't collaborate,

we can still be friends.

Sure.

What gift did you bring for Afang?

I made some milk tea powder myself.

Just a little gift.

We need to hurry back,

or it'll start raining soon.

Didn't you say today would be good weather?

It wouldn't rain.

If I hadn't said that,

maybe we would have given up back there.

Even though finding Afang wasn't very likely,

if we gave up ourselves,

then there really would have been no hope.

We didn't accomplish anything,

yet you're still so happy?

I don't know.

I just feel like today

is the best day I've had in the last five years.

Even if there's a storm ahead,

I'm not afraid anymore.

♪Will I miss the beat♪

Lu Xiaolu, are you crazy?

Yes.

If we don't go crazy now,

we will get old.

♪My life is not a boring loop♪

What do you think?

Is the clay pot rice in Guangzhou delicious?

Only Qin Juan in the factory

knows about my trip to Guangzhou.

You had someone follow me?

Why didn't you tell me beforehand?

You're not only my boss

but my opponent at the gambling table.

I don't need to report everything to you, right?

Now, do you still think

you have a chance to win?

Why not?

You gave me five days.

Now, there's one day left.

The deal is off.

Why?

Does winning matter that much to you?

Of course, it's important.

Initially, I just wanted to reclaim

what was mine.

But now, I've gambled the entire factory.

I've made promises to the workers.

I can't betray them.

What if you lose?

Do you know?

I really don't want you to lose.

Stop cooperating with Lu Xiaolu.

Don't let him drag you back to your old life.

Even if the food factory is gone,

I can promise you to invest

to cover the workers' losses.

You don't sound like yourself.

What do you mean?

You once told me.

As a businessman,

you would never invest money without seeing a return.

As a wise person,

you would never favor any opponent.

But look at your methods now.

You've become weak

yet arrogantly harsh.

You know

that developing real estate

is a major trend in the domestic market.

Once this option is laid out,

the food factory will have no other way out.

You can't change this era,

nor can you save those people.

Go back to Shanghai now,

and I can pretend none of this ever happened.

If you're still not satisfied,

you can choose

to stay by my side

with a different status.

We can both win.

Don't touch me.

Mr. Huang,

I think I need to reassess you.

I was worried about you,

so I came to check.

You don't look well.

What did Huang Qing say to you?

Are you fired?

If only that were true.

I'll take you back to the hotel to rest.

Boss Hu,

begin the operation.

I'll take you up.

No need.

I'm just staying one last night.

Tomorrow, I'll change to another hotel.

It's awkward

running into Huang Qing.

Then rest well.

Don't worry about those trivial matters.

I'll take care of everything.

Tomorrow morning, I'll pick you up

and take you to the new hotel.

Okay.

Either help the workers

reclaim what's theirs

or find them a new path.

You won't go back

until these matters are settled,

right?

Right.

I'm really, really, really glad

that we can work together again.

I'm glad too.

Hope we can work well together.

Hope we can work well together.

Hello.

Yeah.

This is she speaking. Who's that?

Mrs. Mancini.

How did you get my number?

Oh, yeah.

That was a gift for you.

Hope you like it.

I beg you pardon?

What do you mean by that?

Lu Xiaolu,

how dare you mess with Mr. Huang's woman?

Do you have a death wish?

I'm giving you a friendly warning

out of the years of friendship

I had with your cousin.

Stay away from Miss Bai.

The food factory's affairs

are not for you to meddle in.

If you get in the way of us making money,

I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish.

Let's go.

I didn't fire you.

I just wanted you to return to Shanghai.

As long as you stay

out of the affairs in Fucheng,

our relationship can be the same as before.

What relationship?

For Lu Xiaolu?

For no one else.

I just don't want to be deceived anymore.

I am your mentor,

and also your boss.

I have my business plans.

It's not really deception.

What about Mr. Mancini?

Why did he leave?

What are you trying to say?

Coincidentally,

I had sent a gift to his wife.

She called yesterday to thank me,

and she told me something

I didn't know.

I admit I kept it from you

because I knew

you would struggle to accept the sudden halt

of the food factory's reform plans.

I hoped it would be easier for you.

You seem not to understand

the problem between us.

Over these five years,

you've blocked me from the position I wanted to pursue,

saying it was for my good.

You drove away my business partners,

also claiming it was for my good.

You kept plans from me,

making all my efforts a joke,

still claiming it was for my good.

In your eyes, what am I?

A puppet to be manipulated

or a fool to be played with?

To others,

I try to be as straightforward as possible.

I did this because...

Because I care about our relationship,

and I care more about how you see me.

This car is company-provided,

not personally mine.

Take it.

I've said it before.

You're not entitled to leave

until I fire you.

Mr. Huang,

make it clear.

This time, I'm the one firing you.

Are you really sure about this?

I've never been so sure

in these five years.

Hello, Dr. Bai.

Dajiang?

Where's Xiaolu?

Why didn't you tell me?

Trying to hide it from me?

Dajiang,

look at this tactical boot.

Doesn't it look familiar?

Kind of.

Who beat you up like this?

It's okay.

I've always been tough.

It's just some superficial wounds.

Nothing serious.

I want to show you something.

I wrestled this off

from one of those guys yesterday.

Boss,

stop hitting him,

or we could kill him.

Look at the sole.

Doesn't it look familiar?

Same sole.

Boss Hu has always had a grudge against my brother.

It's one thing for him to hit me,

but why did he hit my master?

I guess Boss Hu and Huang Qing

are in this together now.

Dr. Bai,

could you please take care of him?

I need to step out.

Dajiang,

where are you going?

Just for a walk.
