[The Justice]

[Episode 09]

Why were you so annoyed when we mentioned investment?

I don't want your investment.

Since you think so,

good luck.

What an ignorant and unscrupulous young man.

Cheng Yizhi can't believe

Lizi would form an unspeakable relationship with this Dr. Xu Shu.

He must have thought too much.

Unless... Unless...

Lizi.

Yizhi.

I finally bought a dictionary about spinning.

Would you please continue to translate for me?

Haven't you been chosen by Shenqin Cotton Mill?

Yes.

Then, why do you still need a translator?

Because they chose me, I need to study harder.

Jing'an Branch is responsible for the financing of Shenqin Cotton Mill.

We have an inescapable obligation to its future development.

Manager Cheng, you're becoming more excellent now.

Then let's start from this place.

Okay.

Sliver.

Sliver... I'll look it up.

Sliver.

Sliver means cotton strips.

- Sliver. - Yes, sliver.

I thought it meant small pieces.

Sliver.

Drawing frame.

Drawing frame.

Drawing frame, you're right about it.

Drawing frame.

Am I a little boring?

Young people, like me, have gone abroad and are romantic.

Am I a little boring?

I don't agree with you.

My former classmates spent their summer vacation in Paris.

So what?

They can do nothing but just talk.

But they talk in English.

I know nothing about it.

And I need you to translate for me.

You're smart. You can learn a foreign language quickly.

Wait!

What is "bingtiaoji" in English?

Drawing frame.

See?

Let's continue.

Let's start from here.

Look it up.

Manager.

This is the quarter account of Hengji Tea House.

Please check.

Where did you go this morning?

I went to chat at the Beidang Branch.

Manager, do you know the six-acre land in Rue Amiral Bayle?

Yes, Master has owned it for many years.

Mr. Lei likes that land and wanted to take it away.

According to his ability, it's easy for him to take it away.

He not only wants to take it away.

He earned a lot of money before he got that land.

What happened?

I heard he made fake contracts because he has someone supporting him.

He has cheated 300,000 taels.

And he wants 200,000 taels more.

How could he do so?

Isn't he afraid he'll lose some face (respect) of Master's?

That buyer is also a fool.

He said he wanted to build a building on the land,

but he didn't understand the contract. Why would he buy the land?

He deserves being cheated.

The fool you're talking about,

is Dr. Xu Shu from Innovation Construction?

Yes, how did you know?

Here, drive my car to the gate.

Come in.

Master, I'm sorry to bother you.

You came here now, you must have something urgent.

Say it.

Please let me be responsible for the land in Rue Amiral Bayle.

This land is huge and is located in a busy place in the French concession.

It has a great location and is of great value.

According to my qualification, I know I don't deserve it.

- But... - I planned to give it to you.

About the thing of chairman,

even if you didn't tell me,

I knew you tried your best.

You'll be in charge of the land in Rue Amiral Bayle.

I won't let you down.

[Innovation Construction]

Dr. Xu, this is the land contract you signed on behalf of Innovation Construction, right?

Why do you have it?

Because Liwei Real Estate Company is defrauding you.

Liwei Real Estate Company is not a real company.

This contract is a fake deal.

Please don't give him the rest of the 200,000 taels.

But my lawyer didn't say so to me.

Your lawyer didn't even investigate the subject of the contract.

After you have given him the deposit,

Liwei Real Estate Company will announce they have gone bankrupt.

At that time, you'll find

No. 136 Land in Rue Amiral Bayle doesn't belong to them.

And about the deposit you gave him, even if you chase him to the end of the world,

you won't get your money back.

In broad daylight, I didn't believe he could make a fake contract.

I've seen their title deed.

Do you know what a title deed looks like?

This is the real title deed.

It's written clearly.

No. 136 Land in Rue Amiral Bayle belongs to Jing'an Branch, Lung Ying Bank.

In other words, I'm the only one

to decide whether to sell this place and sign the contract.

So you're here today to laugh at me?

Everyone is laughing at you now.

I'm here today to cooperate with you.

Since you like the land in my hand,

there's no reason for us not to cooperate.

- To combine your dream— - I don't want to cooperate with you.

You want to cooperate with Liwei Real Estate Company?

I'll call the police.

They've allied with the police station.

You can't defeat them with law.

Thank you for your warning.

This 300,000 taels will be my lesson.

There is so much land in Shanghai.

I'll continue to look for it until I have found the land I want.

Do you have money?

Right, you're rich.

You moved to Britain with your parents when you were ten years old.

Your father is a famous Chinese antiquary in London.

You're the youngest son in your family, so they spoiled you.

You became insolent after you grew up because of your status.

You could use your money to buy land that no one could possibly imagine.

But do you know? This is called dissipating family fortune.

After all, it's easy for my dad to earn money.

Manager Cheng, please go back.

My dad will continue to support me.

Your dad is not as stupid as you are.

Your father had a deal with you.

300,000 taels are all the capital he gave you to start a business in Shanghai.

Secretary Guan told me this.

Is he right?

Dr. Xu, you've lost all your money.

Why are you pretending to be fearless now?

Realizing my dream is a long way to go.

There will be difficulties along the way.

I can undertake it.

The key point is not going through difficulties.

The point is that after going through difficulties,

you have no money and you have no land.

How can you realize your dream?

Rickshaw!

I bought a gift for you.

Miss Jody.

Have a seat.

Hello, your coffee.

Thank you.

Your scarf is nice, Dr. Xu.

Someone has the same scarf as mine.

But we can't have a good talk.

Dr. Xu, can we have a good talk?

When we're writing articles in Harrods Daily,

we need to talk with the interviewee for at least three to five times,

sometimes we'll talk seven to eight times at most.

If I'm here to talk with Miss Jody,

I'm willing to talk with you ten times.

Then I'll ask you questions.

I want to know,

when you were designing such an elite middle school,

was your thought influenced by the American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright?

I treat his thought as the spirit of time.

Miss Jody, you really know about architecture.

I'm trying to know about you.

Well, there's one more thing I want to know about you.

Secretary Guan told me,

you want to build a building combined with Chinese and Western styles.

And you're looking for land now.

Yes.

Unfortunately, this doesn't go well.

About this, I feel it's strange.

Because I heard that most architects

will cooperate with capital.

Dr. Xu, why are you working on it alone?

I've thought about what you'd said.

A few years ago,

I tried to cooperate with capital.

There is a famous bank in Shanghai.

But the process was hard and shameful.

I was desperate.

I wanted to leave Shanghai and go back to Italy.

How could such a thing happen?

Which bank made you feel so aggrieved?

I don't want to mention the past.

So, Dr. Xu,

you never mentioned this project in your resume.

This project has ended.

And it involved a very serious accident.

I don't want to mention it.

Master, you're back.

- Nanny Wang. - Give me your bag.

Okay.

Because the stench of capital is similar.

Since they have some extra money,

they think they can judge the ideas that others have thought over for a long time.

I'll let you down.

I don't care about your money.

Yizhi.

Why did you come back so early?

I came back early for you.

For me?

Because I want to take you to the dock market.

Now?

The weather is perfect now.

Okay, let's go.

Let's go.

I'll do it.

Here.

Have a look.

This phone.

How's it?

Look at this.

Buy this candelabra for you?

You don't like it?

There are so many things here, right?

Does it look like the World Exposition?

It's different from what I thought.

- What's the difference? - There are so many things.

But it seems like a huge supermarket.

It's not that busy.

And it's not as interesting as I thought.

Let's go there. The French toffee you like most.

- What do you want? - I'll buy you as much as you want.

- Give me three boxes. - No, thanks.

It's so expensive.

So what? I can afford it.

- Let's buy ten boxes? - No.

What's wrong? Buy it if you want to eat.

There's too much.

- I don't want even a single box. - Okay.

Sorry, we don't want it.

What are those?

Those are goods that can not be exported, so they are sold in the domestic market.

Those are cheap local specialties, like Chinese herb medicine, naked oat tea, and so on.

- Let's go there. - You want to go there?

Are you sure? There are no foreign goods and are all local goods.

It means the goods are cheap and good?

Let's go.

[Dock]

Are you sure?

Do you want a bottle of cola?

No.

This place is more interesting than the foreign goods market.

You think this place is interesting?

- What is it? - This is Codonopsis pilosula.

Codonopsis pilosula?

- And this one? - This is Angelica sinensis.

Look at that. That's Bashu Odd Taste Bean.

Do you want to taste it?

Can I? We haven't paid yet.

In this market, you can touch everything you need, and you can taste everything you want.

Here, try it.

Does it taste bad?

You did it on purpose.

This one, this one.

Are you okay?

This is Yunnan milk leaf.

Come on, have a try. I'm not lying to you this time.

How's it?

Delicious.

Is it okay if we don't buy it after we taste it?

- It's okay, let's go. - Really?

- Taste the dry chili. - No.

How do you know so much?

You know too little.

It's not like that.

- Tell me what you know. - I know this.

- What's this? - This is perfume.

- This is floral water. - Floral water is perfume.

You're right. Floral water is a kind of perfume.

Do you want it?

Sorry, sorry. I'm so sorry.

- What's wrong? - He looks like a wild child,

but he is polite.

Polite?

If I were you, I would check my bag.

Which two do you want? These two?

We want these two.

- My money was stolen. - It's normal.

This is your first time. My money has been stolen many times here.

- What can we do now? - Just give them the money.

They're from poor families.

Every silver coin they steal can buy them ten meals.

The money he stole from you can buy them meat in every meal.

Let's go.

My ring was also stolen.

Your ring was stolen?

Take this. I'll chase him back.

Thank you. Yizhi!

- What did you steal? - I stole nothing.

- You stole nothing? - I said, I stole nothing.

Search him.

Hurry up!

Boss, there's a ring.

Well done, an expensive ring.

Give me the ring.

Give it to you?

This kid stole it from my wife.

Please return my wife's ring to me.

I won't.

There isn't any name on this ring.

It belongs to the one who takes it.

I suggest you to give it back to me, or both of us will suffer.

Let me tell you clearly.

I govern this place.

You'd better leave here now.

- Otherwise... - Boss! Boss!

Beat him!

Yizhi!

Let's go!

I want to borrow your bike, I'll return it to you tomorrow.

My bike!

- Get up! Chase them! - Let's go.

Bike! My bike!

Come back!

Come back! Come back!

♫ The glow from the destiny ♫

You acted so fiercely just now.

This is called "saving my husband bravely."

What? I just thought you were pathetic.

You were beaten by so many people.

Give me your hand.

When did you get it back?

Be careful. Don't lose it again.

♫ I'll see the light in your eyes ♫

When will you return his bike?

I'll let Roundface send it back tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Good.

Ride a while with me.

♫ In the wonderful world ♫

♫ Looking for everything ♫

♫ Youth is worthwhile for the brave heart ♫

♫ For a better tomorrow ♫

♫ The truth will penetrate the lie ♫

♫ Hope we will see each other again ♫

♫ The day when I met and fell for you ♫

♫ I forgot everything ♫

♫ The instruments played the best song ♫

♫ Farewell, my heart ♫

♫ Hope we can conquer the painful memories ♫

♫ Hope to go back to the day we met ♫

I should be responsible for our unhappy meeting last time.

Since I want to cooperate with you,

I should let you know more about my ideas and thoughts.

I don't know if you've been beaten down by capital,

so that you hate banknotes so much.

But I won't be picky about the design you've been thinking about for a long time.

That is...

because of the idea of your design,

I like this architecture,

so I want it to be built.

Manager Cheng,

are you serious?

Yes.

- But... - But?

There are always too many "but"s.

If this "but" is helpful to you and for us,

why not listen to it?

Dr. Xu,

as long as it's a building,

it must have a practical use.

Whether it's a shelter or is used for tourism,

it has a purpose.

Especially after a huge investment,

we need to consider how we can recover our cost.

Manager Cheng,

you're still a businessman.

Apparently,

you care more about how to recover cost and increase revenue,

instead of the building itself.

The reason why I told you I don't know what this building is for

is that I don't want it to be used by any people that are smarter than you.

I don't want businessmen to use it and make money.

I don't want foreign firms to take it for private use.

I don't want to see...

that we build this architecture one day,

but it dimmed one day after another,

and there's only a rotten taste left in the end.

We still don't know the delivery channel of Life-Restoring Pill yet.

And we can't find the consigner.

Continue to look for clues. Hurry up.

This is something Master is anxious about.

Yes, Sir.

Say it.

Don't get angry when you hear it.

Maybe Cheng Yizhi played some tricks.

Tell me. What is it?

Master gave the land in Rue Amiral Bayle to Cheng Yizhi.

He didn't give it to him.

Steward Tian told me,

Master let him take charge of it.

Cheng Yizhi,

you're taking away my business now?

Miss Jody.

Let's go.

Wait.

Thank you.

[Boya Piano Company]

I can't play.

I can only play with a piano score.

Without a piano score, I can't play anything.

Cheng Yizhi doesn't understand

whether he is too stupid,

or Lizi is too hypocritical.

How could she give two men the same smile?

The same bright, naughty and charming smile.

To whom did she give her real smile?

Dr. Xu.

The difficult project you mentioned is related to Shanghai Savings Bank, right?

[Shanghai Savings Bank]

Dr. Xu,

I know you don't want this thing to be published in the newspaper.

So you didn't want to tell me a single word.

But please relax.

I won't write a single word about it.

Because I just want to know how you suffered.

I hope I'm not just a journalist whom you have met.

I hope I can be your friend.

Dr. Xu.

You're so talented,

but you refuse to cooperate with capital.

I even think your resentment to capital

is because you don't believe in anyone else.

Actually sometimes,

if you can face the past setbacks bravely,

you can open your mind and have a broader future.

So please tell me,

what happened at that time?

At that time, I came to Shanghai from Italy,

the General Manager Wu Zhifu at Shanghai Savings Bank

invited me to bid on the expansion of the bank building.

But when I read the newspaper,

it said that Wu Zhifu was corrupted and took money for his own.

I didn't think he was such a kind of person.

I want to ask you about the market of real estate, Manager Cheng.

I heard you're in charge of the land in Rue Amiral Bayle now.

Manager Cheng.

My dear friends.

It's been a long time, how are you?

General Manager Zhou.

General Manager Chen.

- Manager Fu. - Long time no see.

Have a seat.

Did I bother you?

I told Mr. Fu, Shanghai Savings Bank is raising its shares.

We need your help.

My dear friends, if there is a candidate who is suitable

to be a shareholder of Shanghai Savings Bank,

please introduce him to me.

Thank you so much.

Manager Cheng, you don't know him. Right?

- This is General Manager Zhou Guangxian from Shanghai Savings Bank. - Hello.

Manager Zhou, this is Cheng Yizhi from Lung Ying Bank.

Manager Cheng.

I heard you just got married to Lizi, right?

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

But I didn't imagine

the beginning of the project was the beginning of my nightmare.

Is your nightmare related to Boss Huang?

Boss Huang?

Huang Ruhong.

I don't know him.

I only know my nightmare is related to Shanghai Savings Bank.

They tried to stop me from expanding the building.

Because of their capital,

they tried to make me amend my design.

And some shareholders spread rumors.

They said the reason why I could win the bidding was that I bribed Wu Zhifu secretly.

This was a plot against Wu Zhifu and a humiliation to me.

Later,

I was kicked out of the project.

The construction plan was also entrusted to that shareholder.

Do you know that shareholder's name?

I'll never forget him.

His name is Zhou Guangxian.

Manager Wu, please sign on this document.

Okay.

Lizi.

Lizi, Uncle Zhou is here.

Hello, Uncle.

Our Lizi has grown into a young lady now.

Manager Wu, you're so fortunate.

I really envy you.

Lu, long time no see.

It seems Mr. Lu still has a problem with me.

You can feel sad about the thing that happened to Manager Wu.

But people like us who work in banks,

we need to look forward.

Am I right, everyone?

It's strange that Zhifu committed suicide.

You're in charge of Shanghai Savings Bank now.

You didn't look for the truth of his death,

but you are looking for the shareholders for the bank.

Manager Lu, you're not a cop. I'm not a detective.

The police will be responsible for Zhifu's death.

And Shanghai Savings Bank was impacted by Zhifu's death.

The shareholders are leaving now.

If I can't calm things down as quickly as possible,

how could I be worthy of Zhifu?

Have you thought about why the shareholders would leave?

That's because you can't uphold justice. The shareholders can't see a bright future,

how can they be confident to invest their capital in your bank?

Even Lizi can get married to a promising young man like Manager Cheng.

How can Shanghai Savings Bank have no way out?

Manager Cheng, what do you think?

Dr. Xu, since you have told me these things, are you feeling better now?

Actually, you know that the difficult situation you faced

at that time had nothing to do with capital.

But you don't want to believe there are such shameless people and things in this world.

But don't be afraid, Dr. Xu.

You've taken the first step.

You're leaving this shadow behind.

And maybe your next cooperative partner will be your friend.

You're right. I shouldn't refuse others because of past experience.

Well, this is the end of my interview.

Dr. Xu, I'm looking forward to your works.

Miss Jody, I have a question.

If my chief editor agrees to post it,

you can read the article about you next week in the newspaper.

I'm not asking this.

You said you are my friend.

Although the interview has ended, can I invite you to dinner next weekend?

[Ascending Lounge]

Manager Cheng.

You seem to be down today.

Do you have something on your mind?

I'm a little tired. Please forgive me, Professor Lu.

Is it related to Lizi?

Just as General Manager Zhou said, you don't need to care too much.

Manager Cheng,

my wife misses Lizi very much.

We want to invite you to our home this weekend.

Please spare some time to come.

Okay, I'll tell Lizi about it.

I heard Nanny Wang show off to Nanny Zhang next door.

She said she recovered from a fever

because of the red bean porridge made by her master.

Nanny was so angry and said, even if I die of illness,

Master Dai wouldn't give me even a cup of tea.

Besides red bean porridge,

what else can you make?

Pretty much everything.

Really?

Then I can order meals.

I have so much that I want to eat.

You only eat and don't cook.

I don't dare to cook.

I wonder who told my mom,

the food made by your daughter seems hard to digest.

Yizhi, what's wrong?

Commander Liao fell ill again recently.

His situation has gotten worse from time to time after the operation.

Sister Lan has been taking care of him in the hospital.

Why didn't Sister Lan tell me about it?

It's my fault.

I've been staying together with other managers' wives recently.

I should have visited her.

I'll go to the hospital tomorrow.

Dr. Xu. Good morning.

Secretary Guan asked me to come here.

He didn't want you to lose No. 136 Land in Rue Amiral Bayle,

and he didn't want you to lose your dream.

Manager Cheng, I think I've told you clearly.

Look at it, Dr. Xu.

I know you're immersed in the ownership of it.

You're so selfish that you don't want to have any practical use.

But an architect...

can't exist without people.

- Of course, I know. - No, you don't.

Since you told me, because you played hide and seek in the yard when you were young,

you became interested in architecture.

You should understand that people should feel the happiness and charm of architecture.

Please don't beautify your idea.

The proposal you offered is just building a luxurious mall.

I'm not interested in that.

The proposal I offered

is not building a luxurious mall.

I hope you make it

to be used by all everyone

What do you mean?

We can open stores in it.

All people can run stores and entertain themselves there.

We can sell cheap and good clothes and all kinds of food in it.

We can sell cheap tickets to a cinema and a roller rink.

There will be a garden and a hall for people to play in.

There will be seesaws and distorting mirrors for children to play.

Dr. Xu, you told me this, "Architect is a beauty to you."

Isn't it good to let people see, experience, and touch this beauty?

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

I wasn't born a manager in the bank.

I used to run from market to market, day after day, under the sun.

In a shop that is hot in the summer and cold in the winter and full of fleas,

I sold dried food every day and earned less than ten taels for a month.

I was just a normal resident.

If at that time,

someone told me I could do business in such a building,

I would be so happy that I would be able to fall asleep.

Dr. Xu, the proposal is on the desk.

I suggest you think about it.

You're right.

If I focus too much on Huang Ruhong, I may lead myself the wrong way.

So I followed a new clue and have a new suspect.

Who is it?

- Zhou Guangxian. - Zhou Guangxian?

Does it sound familiar?

He took your father's position

and he is the General Manager at Shanghai Savings Bank now.

If I must say, he is more suspicious than Huang Ruhong.

About his information of admission, taking office and followers,

I want all of these.

Give me 100 tael.

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...
