[The Justice]

[Episode 10]

Since it's for the common people to operate,

stores are divided into four different size types:

large, medium, small, and extra small.

There are two rooms on each floor for large ones,

three for medium ones,

and eight for small and extra small ones.

What can be done now is to ensure that each store

has at least one window...

to ensure its air circulation and indoor lighting.

In addition,

the area caused by irregular cutting

should be accepted as public.

Manager Cheng, I have a question.

Its cost is huge,

so how can common people

afford to rent a store?

Jing'an Branch of Lung Ying Bank will give them subsidies.

It will be an amazing, careless,

and perfect place.

Dr. Xu, is there such a place in the West?

They also yearn for such a place

and call it a "wonderland."

Wonderland?

​Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The ⚖️ Justice Seekers 🔎 Team @viki.com

Why don't we just call it Wonder Garden? (Wàndé yuán sounds like Wonderland)

Wonder Garden?

Wonderland.

Wonder Garden.

Great. That's great. Let's call it Wonder Garden.

About No.136 land of Rue Amiral Bayle,

I guess Mr. Miao and Mr. Sheng already know.

I hope you can forgive me for my mistake.

Mr. Lei, why did you say that?

Didn't I say that I will take this piece of land

as a gift to the Public Board of Directors?

Yes, you said that you would build a large garden villa for President Meriere

and Deputy President Schweitzer respectively.

To be honest, we're all looking forward to that.

As long as they take the house,

the price of the land on Rue Amiral Bayle

will surely go up.

It's a pity that

the plan can't keep up with change.

I sincerely hope you two do not blame me.

Manager Cheng is going to donate this piece of land.

Donate?

What?

What does that mean?

Drink some coffee.

Add sugar?

Manager, the situation is not good.

The building plan that we submitted to the Municipal Premier's Office of Public Board of Directors for approval

was somehow leaked.

This morning, many bosses from Rue Amiral Bayle called

and said that we were spoiling the land, and that we are not virtuous,

so we can't go down Rue Amiral Bayle.

Who are they?

Mr. Shen of the Golden Hotel,

Mr. Miao of Longji Trading Company, and—

This is Jing'an Branch of Lung Ying Bank.

Yes, Master.

Please wait a minute, I'll be right there.

Such a good piece of land is being used like this.

How could he?

There you are.

You flung at us a big pot for nothing,

forcing us to bear it for you.

What did you bear for me?

You gave the land on Rue Amiral Bayle

to those rabbles to do business.

The bosses here were all offended by you.

I've been negotiating for three months about the shareholding.

Now it has failed because of you.

You not only bring us trouble,

but also bring big trouble to our master.

Master, please consider more about

letting Manager Cheng manage the land on Rue Amiral Bayle.

Everyone, we're all on the same side, so let's not be so harsh.

Manager Cheng is a reasonable person,

so he'll definitely find a way to make up for it.

It's useless to make up for it!

I think that Manager Cheng should give the land back to our master.

Yes!

- It shouldn't be spoiled by rabbles. - Yes.

Which one of you was not a rabble ten years ago?

In Shanghai, capable people are everywhere.

Dare to ask what year it is in the Republic of China?

Still talking about the word "rabble" is really awful.

As long as given the chance,

anyone can succeed.

The price of the land on Rue Amiral Bayle

is to give people the chance.

Now they may be nobody,

but when they become rich,

I'm afraid that you won't recognize them.

Manager Cheng's words are very touching.

But I still have a small question.

I heard that Wonder Garden is going to be built as a high-rise building.

How much will it cost?

How much should the rent be charged?

Can the rabbles afford to pay that?

Yes!

Should Jing'an Branch subsidize them that time?

- Master. - Master.

Master, everyone of each branch

is making every effort to increase profits day and night.

How could Jing'an Branch splurge it alone?

Yes, please decide, Master.

Please decide, Master.

I heard what you just said up there.

Several bosses of Rue Amiral Bayle have urged you and threatened you.

I know you feel wronged.

I invited you here today to calm you down,

and I also want to know

what you plan to do.

This morning, several bosses of Rue Amiral Bayle

invited me to have tea in the restaurant.

They said they had no objection

to building Wonder Garden on the No.136 land.

I promise that if the land price of Rue Amiral Bayle drops

after the completion of Wonder Garden,

I will compensate it all.

But if it goes up,

we can celebrate it all together.

We deserve it.

Lei,

you've been with me longer than anyone here.

You need to have ideas about

what they're not good at handling.

If you're afraid of ultimatums and threats,

can you achieve great things?

This reason...

You know that, right?

I saw that everyone was anxious,

so I became panicked.

After listening to your words, I have figured it out now.

Everybody, we must understand what our master has said.

Yes!

If there is nothing else, please go back.

Master, it was my fault

for putting you into this passive situation.

It's just the younger generation acting pettishly.

You know what you do.

Master, no matter how,

I am sure about this.

Investing in the construction of Wonder Garden is of great benefit to Lung Ying Bank

and will never disappoint you.

I want to ask you about another thing.

I heard that the design of Wonder Garden is different and unconventional.

Is that true?

Master, although the design of Wonder Garden

deviates from the conventional,

it is both modern and elegant,

combining the essence of Chinese and Western styles.

If it weren't for Dr. Xu Shu's persistence and boldness,

Shanghai would hardly have such a building.

Dr. Xu Shu?

Who is he?

Dr. Xu Shu is still young,

so you do not know him.

He graduated from Napoli University in Italy,

and studied both architecture and civil engineering here.

He is a versatile person proficient in design and construction.

Has he ever completed anything before?

The building of Jinghua No. 2 Secondary School.

It seems that he has very little experience,

why do you trust him so much?

Because Dr. Xu Shu is unworldly,

untamed, and even a bit stubborn.

But his personality has its own special charm,

and so does his architectural philosophy.

Throughout the world, there are many experienced and sophisticated people.

But there are limits to them.

Only the innocent people are amazing

and can create miracles,

which is difficult for the experienced ones to reach.

Do you really think so much of him?

Yes.

I didn't expect that we could become friends.

Me neither.

In fact, when I was in England,

in Italy, and then back in Shanghai,

I always felt like an outsider.

I have very few friends.

It's enough to have a woman.

I don't have one.

Don't you?

However, I have a lover in my mind.

She knows a lot about architecture,

and knows a lot about me.

She can see right through my heart.

She also knows much about music.

If there is a chance,

I'll definitely take you to hear her play the piano.

It seems that...

you've been in love with her for a long time.

Actually, I just met her recently.

I hate that it's too late.

Manager Cheng, have you ever had the feeling of falling in love at first sight?

Yes, I have.

Then you're lucky.

I always thought that falling in love at first sight was made up in novels.

This time I learned that it's true.

People can really fall in love with one person at first sight.

And I believe that it's not only me who thinks so.

I made a reservation at a French restaurant.

Tomorrow, I'll confess my love to her.

Dr. Xu,

good luck.

What do you want to eat tomorrow?

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow is your birthday.

How do you know that?

I noticed that during our marriage registration.

You're cunning.

Say it.

What do you want to eat?

If you want to eat at home, you just need to order the dishes.

Then let Nanny Wang and Gui prepare the materials, and I will cook for you.

Didn't you say that there is a lot you want to eat last time?

Just order.

If you want to eat outside, I'll make a reservation.

Just tell me the restaurant.

I…

I went to see Commander Liao today.

He is very sick.

Sister Lan said the hospital has issued a notice of critical illness.

Tomorrow, I'll go to Hong Qiao

to help Sister Lan bring the medicine for Commander Liao.

So… I may not be able to eat dinner.

I always don't like celebrating birthdays.

Besides, it does not have to be tomorrow,

any day is fine.

- Miss Jody. - Dr. Xu.

Please.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I have good news especially for you.

I listened to your advice and now have taken the first step,

working with the capital.

No.136 land of Rue Amiral Bayle.

If it goes well, it will fully realize my ambition.

It has a nice name called Wonder Garden.

No.136 land of Rue Amiral Bayle

belongs to Jing'an Branch of Lung Ying Bank, right?

You also know that?

I'm the reporter of Harrods Daily.

What do I not know?

So do you know Cheng Yizhi, the manager of the Jing'an Branch?

I'm not familiar with this man.

He's the one who convinced me to take the project of Wonder Garden.

He told me to pay attention to the needs of the common people,

and made me reflect that the real way of architecture

lies not only in aesthetic innovation,

but also in showing kindness to people.

I haven't been inspired like this for a long time.

I even feel that Manager Cheng is somewhat similar to Wu Zhifu,

the former manager of the Shanghai Savings Bank.

[Ta Tung Hotel]

They both think very clearly and their decisions are very decisive.

In fact, after the unexplained interruption

of the expansion project of Shanghai Savings Bank, Wu Zhifu called me.

He apologized to me and asked me to forgive him.

But I was so angry that I decided to return to Italy immediately.

I didn't expect to hear the news of his death the next day.

That day I tore up my ticket of leaving Shanghai.

Although my power alone is very small,

I will never let this environment fall into the hands of those social rats and villains.

As you said,

maybe the next collaborator is a like-minded person.

I'm glad now that I can have a partner like Manager Cheng.

Mr. Baker, Mr. Cheng has arrived.

Hello, Mr. Cheng.

Hello, Mr. Baker.

Sit down, please.

I know my consulting fee is not cheap,

so let's get straight to the point.

Please just tell me directly, Mr. Cheng.

I want to get a divorce.

Fried prawns with olive oil sauce.

Enjoy.

Thank you.

Unexpectedly, Dr. Xu is good at ordering.

I also like the prawns here very much.

This is my favorite dish.

I find that Miss Jody and I often like the same things.

Just like the song you played in the instrument store last time,

that's my favorite song when I am designing.

It's my honor to have the same preferences as Dr. Xu.

Miss Jody.

Miss Jody,

please be my lover.

At the time of divorce, do you need your wife to return betrothal gifts?

We didn't have betrothal gifts when we got married.

So she doesn't have to return that.

It seems that you loved each other very much,

but also married in a hurry.

Do you want to divide your assets when you divorce?

Yes.

Mr. Cheng, how do you want to divide it?

She has no place to live, so she can get the house.

I'm busy at work so the car is for me.

The rest can be divided equally.

Should the divorce resolution be announced to the public?

If she needs to, she can announce it to the public.

Is there any room for negotiation on this divorce resolution?

Negotiation room?

Mr. Cheng, have you made up your mind?

♫ Fate is drawn randomly ♫

♫ and occasionally cross ♫

It's hard to grow old as the relationship is broken.

Dr. Xu, I'm so sorry.

I can't grant you that request.

Why?

I can only promise to be your friend.

Sorry.

Dr. Xu,

today I came here to have dinner with you.

Actually, I want to apologize to you.

No, Miss Jody,

it's your right to reject my confession.

So you don't have to apologize to me.

My rejection of you as my lover has nothing to do with you.

It's not because of you. It's because...

I lied to you.

Lied to me?

I… am not a reporter for Harrods Daily.

And…

I'm married.

Miss Jody,

why did you lie to me?

Miss Jody is not my real name either.

My real name is Wu Lizi.

I lied to you and approached you

because I wanted to know all the things

when you expanded the project in Shanghai Savings Bank.

The former general manager of Shanghai Savings Bank, Wu Zhifu,

was my father.

His death is full of suspicions.

And the suicide note that he left

didn't convince me at all.

So I wanted to know everything that happened before his death.

Dr. Xu,

if you believe what I just said,

please help me keep it a secret.

♫ I don't want to talk back ♫

♫ I'll take all the blame ♫

I believe you.

♫ Don't tease me... in the tone of love ♫

Thank you.

Gui.

- Madam, you are finally back. - Have you had dinner?

We've already eaten.

Madam, Hui Wen Restaurant sent a big cake.

But neither you nor Sir were home.

Madam, today is your birthday.

Hasn't your master come back yet?

Not yet.

He may still be busy at the bank.

You go and rest early.

Madam, what about this cake?

And you also go and rest early, Madam.

See you.

When did you find it?

Put it on. Don't lose it again.

Lizi suddenly understood Cheng Yizhi's recent abnormalities.

He knew she was close to Xu Shu,

but he did not question her.

He still helped Xu Shu,

and even received Xu Shu's unreserved praise.

A sudden and intense sense of guilt struck Lizi.

Cheng Yizhi was so tolerant of her.

[Divorce Letter]

Hello, this is Jing'an Branch of Lung Ying Bank. Who are you?

Roundface, it's me. Is Yizhi there?

Lizi, Manager is not here. Can I help you?

Nothing, go and do your work.

Okay.

Dr. Xu.

This is the construction contract of Wonder Garden.

Please look it over.

Sit down please.

Manager Cheng,

why are you also so haggard?

I should ask you that.

Last night, you and your lover…

She refused being my lover.

She said that she can only be my friend.

Why?

She's married.

She's actually married.

I really want to know who her husband is.

Manager Cheng,

this contract is an agreement between gentlemen.

You truly respect me.

Mutual respect is the basis of the contract.

Dr. Xu,

I look forward to the completion of Wonder Garden,

and I hope that your architectural ideas

can be recognized by more people.

Manager Cheng, I trust you.

The last person I trusted this much was Wu Zhifu.

Wu Zhifu?

The famous banker the newspaper said

that committed suicide by jumping from a building.

Three years ago,

when I just returned to Shanghai from Italy,

I was really grateful for his help.

I felt that my future was as bright as it is now.

But I didn't expect that…

You may mind me comparing you with Manager Wu.

But I have the same appreciation and admiration

for both of you.

Manager Cheng,

you've given me courage again.

I hope everything goes well this time.

All the best!

[Innovation Construction]

She's actually married.

I really want to know who her husband is.

Lizi still didn't put down her father.

She approached Xu Shu

just to find out the mystery of Wu Zhifu's death,

and it had nothing to do with love.

This discovery made Cheng Yizhi understand everything,

but felt extremely ashamed.

How would Lizi feel about his staying out all night?

He couldn't make any excuse for the misunderstanding,

nor could he reveal any insight he had about her.

He could only hope that

Lizi was still waiting for him at home.

Gui, go to the cigarette shop

to buy 23 cartons of Sanpao Tai for all the staff of the branch,

one for each person.

And buy six cartons of Jia Li'ke

and deliver them to the bookkeeper and the assistant manager.

And buy one bottle of Axe Triple Brandy for Roundface.

Forget it! I'll buy it myself.

You just need to buy the cigarettes.

Yes, Madam.

Madam, would you like to eat this cake now?

It can't be kept for too long.

Let's wait until your master comes back.

Okay.

- I'm back. - Master is back.

- Master. - Give me the bag.

Okay.

There was an emergency in the bank last night.

I was too busy outside to tell you about that.

She knew Cheng Yizhi was lying,

but she needed Cheng Yizhi to forgive her with this lie.

Weren't you afraid we'd eat all the cake?

Aren't you still waiting for me?

Then hurry up.

Gui can't wait!

Madam.

I'll get the plates.

Okay.

Madam, make a wish.

During the day?

Make one.

It will come true.

- Happy birthday! - Happy birthday!

Okay, then I'll cut the cake.

Madam, here you are.

Let's give the biggest one to Gui.

Thank you, Madam.

Nanny Wang, eat this.

Thank you, Madam.

Yizhi.

Okay.

You teased me.

No,

I-I-I am helping you.

Let me help you wipe it.

You did it on purpose.

Stop!

We need to buy one more bottle of Axe Triple Brandy.

For whom?

Professor Lu asked us to visit them this weekend.

Lizi, let me do this.

Put it down. Let me do this.

Aunt Lu.

Manager Cheng, was today's food to your taste?

All I cooked were Lizi's favorites.

Yes.

Aunt Lu, it's very kind of you.

If you didn’t like the food today,

come back next time and I will cook others for you.

- I love them all. I'm not picky at all. - Great!

He can also cook many kinds of dishes.

And two days ago, he just showed that to our Nanny Wang.

I didn't expect we could eat yellow croaker-stewed noodles today.

It's your favorite food, so of course, I had to cook it.

I have prepared it for a while.

Did you know that the yellow croaker-stewed noodles cooked by Aunt Lu

are the best in Shanghai?

- Do you remember the taste? - Yes, I do.

Make it for me next time.

Sure.

Old Lu, look at them.

They just look like us when we were young.

Lizi, I've got a gift for you.

You must like it.

It's an authentic work of Chopin.

Your Uncle Lu and I found it by chance in a Paris gallery.

Manager Cheng, do you know that

Lizi likes playing the piano the most?

I remember that she used to perform for us when she was a little girl.

She could play without reading the music score for half an hour.

Take it!

Thank you, Aunt Lu.

I'll treasure it.

Why treasure it?

It's precious.

But if you can practice with it every day,

you're already making good use of it.

What? Don't you play the piano anymore?

Or is it because there is no piano at home?

Manager Cheng, no matter how, you should prepare a piano at home.

Although it may be expensive, Lizi likes it.

- In fact— - Don't worry, Aunt Lu.

I'll prepare one at home.

That's great.

Madam, didn't you say that you wanted Lizi to see

the sweet-scented osmanthus tree you planted?

Look at my small yard.

I planted such a big sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

I am great, right?

Manager Cheng,

let's have tea in my study, shall we?

Yes, Professor Lu.

I asked abruptly that day,

but not to pry into your privacy.

I was worried about Lizi.

You haven't known Lizi long enough.

You don't know much about her past.

I watched her grow up.

She loved her father very much,

and she was a very ambitious girl.

But now she just wants to forget the past,

which is abnormal.

The family change is a big blow for her.

I was worried that she would close her heart.

You are her husband and the one she is closest to.

I saw everything just now.

You can give her warmth and support.

I hope you can help her open her heart

to let her find herself as soon as possible.

Professor Lu,

I understand everything that you are saying.

It's a pity that I also don't know how to make her open up.

Yizhi, I'm going to learn to make sweet-scented osmanthus candy.

Do you want some?

Yes.

Please take this.

This is?

I hope it can help you to learn more about Lizi,

about how she grew up,

how she thinks, and how she feels.

Take it.

Sit down.

Okay, put this now.

This way, this way.

Right.

We made it!

Lizi loves it here.

Yes,

she has always played here since she was a child.

I also want you to stay here a bit longer.

It's just that what I'm going to say

may not be pleasant to hear.

Professor Lu, just say it, please.
