[Guess Who I Am]

[Adapted from Yi Jin's original novel "Hao, Please Don't Be Friends with Me"]

[You Are My Vast Galaxy]

Song Yao.

I've finished reading your novel.

Your writing

is pretty good.

Particularly the parts of them dating.

Even though I've been single

for over 40 years,

I felt the urge to be in love after reading it.

However,

I'm afraid that we can't

sign you on.

Why is that?

Didn't we agree on it?

Once the story is complete,

you'll publish it for me.

Song Yao.

What we agreed on was

if the readership was good,

we'd sign you on.

But the readership of this book

doesn't hit the mark.

No way.

I received comments from my readers

just today.

Those were the efforts of our editors,

pretending to be readers.

We must gain a fair amount of comments in order to meet the KPI.

The actual number of readers for your novel

is closer to single digits.

Works that are purely of one genre

are no longer able to satisfy

the current market.

What do readers want nowadays?

Diversity, complexity,

realistic works.

Solely talking about love

can no longer satiate the market.

In our industry,

competition is tough.

I'm sorry.

We won't be able to sign you on.

Anyway,

to express our apology,

I specially picked this memento out

from the Editorial Department

as a gift to you.

Here.

Sir.

If the readers are not satisfied,

I'm willing to revise.

Song.

Listen.

I have a meeting with my boss.

He'll be here very soon.

He's really punctual.

So,

why don't you

head back first?

I'll see you next time, then.

See you again.

You guessed it.

Listen to me.

Here's the deal.

Your next book,

and your book after the next will all be mine.

Alright?

Nobody else.

Sure, I'll buy you dinner tonight.

Sure.

I'll send you the address later.

Okay, got it.

Sure, Zhou.

See you at dinner.

Mr. Liu.

Would you like a drink?

Who cares about drinking?

Mr. Lu.

I pay you a handsome salary.

Why?

Just one reason.

To secure good stories and publish them on behalf of the company.

What is the deal right now?

Tell me.

Look at

the list of books you handed in.

Which book

fits the criteria I named

in the last meeting?

But...

No, don't you "but" me.

I don't want any "buts".

I'm going to tell you one last time.

Our works

need to have the complexity of human nature,

relationship entanglements,

as well as the dark currents

beneath the flashy exterior.

Don't forget

a sense of imagination beyond common understanding.

The point is,

it needs to have power struggles,

reasoning,

suspense,

action,

comedy and the like in your story.

That's what sells!

That is what the readers

are expecting.

How many times do I have to repeat it?

Every time,

you answer with "Yes, I know".

Whatever you promised,

you forgot.

Mister.

Can I ask a favor from you?

Those works you want

are easier said than done.

As of now,

we don't have anything like that.

Easier said than done?

Does it get done

by you sitting here drinking coffee?

You even got yourself a private room.

Tell me.

If I hadn't come to see you today,

would you still

be slacking the whole afternoon?

No, surely not.

Don't misunderstand.

I came today because...

Hi there.

Which one of you is Mr. Lu?

That... That's me.

Hi.

Who is this?

Cold Wind in September.

The suspense writer Mr. Lu wanted to meet.

Suspense writer?

You write suspense stories?

Just suspense is not good enough.

A story with just one subject

can't satisfy what the market wants.

Readers nowadays

want diversity,

realistic,

and complex stories.

That's exactly what I said

in our last meeting!

Great minds think alike.

Listen carefully, Lu Yu.

May I ask who this like-minded man is?

Mr. Liu, the publisher's director.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Liu.

Likewise.

I came to see Mr. Lu today

to talk about

the new novel I'm working on.

Like I said,

my new novel has a mix

of mystery solving,

dynamic action,

relationship issues,

and the battle of wits in business competition.

That's what the story is about.

Have you made up your mind?

Here's the thing.

Right now, I've been contacted by multiple companies

to discuss serialization,

including publishing rights and such.

If you

are not ready to decide,

then I'll...

No, no.

Here's the thing.

Ms. Cold Wind.

Our company

prioritizes numbers and data.

My suggestion to you

is to first have your work serialized on our platform.

If the numbers are good,

we'll sign a contract with you.

What do you say?

No problem.

I look forward to our collaboration.

Likewise.

Awesome.

As for the details,

I will leave you to it.

Go over them

with Mr. Lu here.

Okay?

Sure.

See to it.

I'll be off.

See you.

I'll leave you two to it.

Take care, Mr. Liu.

Sure.

Incredible.

That was superb acting.

I think

it's such a waste you're not an actor.

Really?

I did think about

being an actress

instead of being a crew member.

Do you really think I'm praising you?

Song Yao.

Do you have any idea

the consequence of your little act there?

Where am I supposed to find the story?

I didn't lie to you.

I am trying

at other genres.

I'm currently working on

a romantic suspense story.

And what I did just now got me the chance

to have another go at serialization.

Whether or not it can get published

will still depend on the numbers.

But I'm confident

this time will definitely work out.

You?

Romantic suspense?

Don't worry.

On my way here just now,

I've already come up with an outline.

How about this?

Just give me three months.

I promise you'll be happy with my work.

Fine.

Since you've gone

this far,

I'll wait for your new work, then.

If it doesn't work...

Both of us can look for another career.

Don't worry.

[Chapter 1]

Reasoning, suspense, action, business competition, comedy.

I simply don't know where to start.

Why on earth

get myself into trouble?

[Rashomon]

Not only does it require human complexity,

but it also needs to have relationship entanglements

and the dark currents

beneath the flashy exterior.

Imagination beyond common understanding.

I've got it.

[One fine day, in a bar named Oscar]

[in the city of Jianghai,]

[customers are reveling in food and wine.]

[On the bar top, lies several glasses of whiskey.]

[A hand stealthily reaches over]

[and swaps one of it out.]

I've swapped the glass.

Facing me,

the first, top left.

When the target

is tipsy,

I'll deliver it.

Ling, serve the alcohol.

Then, serve the glass

we specified.

Let him hold it.

Hao will press the trigger

and injure his hand.

Then take a blood sample.

Got it?

Where are the drinks?

Coming.

I'll repeat it once more.

I'm going

to hand you the specific glass to you.

Don't get it wrong.

Drink up. Don't just sit there. Hurry up.

Bottoms up, come on.

Here.

The target

is getting tipsy.

Head over.

Thanks.

What happened?

Nothing.

Just a little mishap.

Don't worry, Hao.

Be careful.

I'm already in position.

Got it.

What's happened?

The audio's no good.

Come on, attack the guy.

Why are you standing so far away?

Gu Zijun, find out what's wrong.

It's probably

interference from another signal.

The source is very near to you.

Looks like

we're not the only ones with a plan.

Hi there.

Where's the target?

We've already sussed him out.

He's seated at Table 8.

That's him enjoying himself.

Go ahead.

Thanks.

Twenty, fifteen.

My dear Chen!

Vivian.

What are you doing here?

Can't I be here?

I thought you asked me to come.

Come, quick.

Sit down.

Make space.

Sit.

Chen.

About what we talked about before,

have you appraised it?

Haven't I told you?

Better appraise the assets properly.

I want what's best for you.

After all, you two are getting a divorce.

Regarding your personal assets,

I've done a rough estimation.

It's by the book.

It'll save you a lot of trouble.

You'll soon regain your freedom.

You are always right.

I'll do as you say.

Here.

Is it this amount?

Take a look.

Babe, you're so smart.

It's right on the dot.

We've confirmed

all the information.

I'm going to send the contents

to Li Chen's wife right away.

Don't dally, get out soon.

Chen.

Have a drink.

I'm going to the ladies.

I'll be right back.

Come back quickly.

Here, play on.

Sir, your drink.

Thanks.

Enjoy.

I'll be waiting for you.

Chen!

Are you hurt?

How did this happen?

Why did the glass suddenly

shatter?

I dare not...

Go get a waiter.

I can't handle blood.

That woman is suspicious.

Catch her!

She's there!

Plan B.

Li Chen has come to his senses.

Quick!

Hurry!

Leave it to me, Song Yao.

Gu Zijun.

Locate an exit for Yao.

Song Yao.

Li Chen's men are everywhere.

Cross the dance floor.

There is a fire exit

on your three o'clock.

That's your only way out.

Way to hell?

I'll create a diversion.

Song Ling will intercept.

Find a way

to injure Ji Cheng'an.

There!

Quick, after her!

My...

My hands!

Sir.

I'll treat your wounds.

Be gentle!

That's not the way.

Did you see a woman,

with wavy hair, in a long black dress?

No.

This way.

Have you seen a woman

with wavy hair, in a long black dress?

What are you doing?

It's you again.

Don't move if you don't wish to get caught.

You...

This way.

Anything over there?

No.

No.

Over here.

You!

What a pervert.

[Episode 1]

Qin Hao.

With this blood sample

and the personal information

from before,

you've officially become Ji Chengchuan.

That was a close call today.

If you hadn't

come up with that impromptu stunt,

the plan would've utterly failed.

You've got some nerve to talk.

Because of you,

this big blunder happened.

Aren't you ashamed

of being paid so much by Qin Hao?

You're one to talk.

Fine.

I did come back for the money.

You're no better.

You think I don't know?

It's because you...

Do you have the key? Why walk so fast?

Shut up and open it.

Gu Zijun!

Remove your smelly feet

off my parcel.

Hurry up!

That pervert I met just now

almost got me caught.

He even...

Whatever.

Forget it.

Yao, calm down.

If you asked me,

it was all Gu Zijun's fault.

You there.

You have the audacity

to call yourself China's best in network technology.

What kind of route did you give us?

You better buck up.

Who are you criticizing, Shen Shuangshuang?

You're in my house.

Better watch your tone.

Was I wrong?

If not

for Yao's incredible logical reasoning

and analytical skills,

our missions

wouldn't have gone as smoothly.

That's enough.

Stop arguing.

Gu Zijun.

Have you booked the express delivery?

Needless for you to ask. I booked it long ago.

Okay.

All the information

has been sorted out.

I can deliver it to Li Chen's wife

by express courier.

Oh, right.

The clause that allows him

to visit his daughter.

Did you add it?

Yes.

Here we go again.

You really like to have your finger in the pie.

For a jerk like Li Chen,

who not only cheated on his wife

but also transferred her assets,

why would you let him see his daughter?

Regardless, the child is innocent.

Song Yao's action is akin

to Chenxiang's mother.

Sanshengmu.

Sure, you call the shots.

The courier is here.

I'll hand over the package.

I'm going to open my parcel.

How adorable.

He's so handsome.

My goodness. That godlike face.

Too cute.

When did I get another house guest?

I just received the payment.

As usual, we'll split it evenly.

Check the amount.

Awesome.

No debt for this month.

[Song Qiuxia's hospital fees, 132,185 yuan]

[Payment successful]

[AIOO graphics card]

[Order payment successful]

[Repayment successful]

My tummy's growling too.

Let's order delivery.

You order.

I'm broke.

No way.

I don't agree.

- Gu Zijun. - No.

Gu Zijun!

Just do it this time.

It's fine that we starve.

But Yao?

Who's going to be the breadwinner?

Still,

you can't just take advantage of me.

Why don't you two

pay the rent first?

I'm the owner of this house.

Scan it.

Okay.

That unlocked it?

Of course.

I need to change the phone.

Come on, forget about delivery.

I can cook some eggs for you.

Okay?

What about this?

I have some tangyuan in the fridge.

Song Yao, you said

you love

my cooking.

These two with me

are my partners.

They're also my good friends,

Gu Zijun and Shen Shuangshuang.

[Fifteen years ago]

I used to be

a normal girl.

Living an ordinary life.

Until 15 years ago,

a shooting star blazed across the night sky.

Since then,

I came to possess

a mysterious power.

[Four years ago]

[Four years ago] Thanks.

When I exchange looks with a person for three seconds,

in their eyes,

I'd become their ideal girl.

It sure caused

a lot of problems for me.

Yao, please marry me.

I...

I love you.

Just say yes

and I'd divorce my wife right away.

Yao, I love you too!

Please marry me.

Yao.

I love you more, Yao.

Because they're all liars.

Yao.

Marry me.

And they're rich.

Marry me, Yao.

Marry me, Yao.

Yao. Marry me, Yao.

Marry me, Yao.

I love you.

Marry me.

How did such a thing happen?

I still don't know.

Perhaps it's because they have ill intentions,

insatiable desires,

limitless greed.

Who knows?

But there is a way

to snap them out of

the illusions.

Sir.

You managed to get much more than what you invested.

That was smart.

The method is...

Sir!

Bad news.

Our company has gone bankrupt!

As simple as that.

Yao!

Don't run, Yao!

There's another way

to temporarily

resolve the emergency.

That is

cut off the line of sight.

Babe.

Dear.

What is wrong with you?

However,

my life

can no longer remain as it used to.

[Chengtian Group's CEO] The position of CEO

[still pending assignment] of Chengtian Group

has been vacant for a long time,

attracting close attention from the business industry.

Most think

that Ji Honglin's son, Ji Cheng'an

succeeds the CEO post

through nomination by his father.

With that,

Chengtian Group would be

fully controlled by Mr. Ji and his son.

Hello, Mr. Chen.

Hold up.

Uncle.

Could you please read the air?

What?

Why did you ask me to come so early in the morning?

My hands are still injured.

The meeting today is very important.

How can you miss it?

But I...

Sir.

Dad.

I mean, sir.

Sir.

Cheng'an

has been working hard lately.

Work?

Working on useless stuff, I reckon.

You think I don't know?

Honglin.

That was an accident last night.

Enough.

No need to defend him.

It's because you and his mom

are over-protective of him.

Cheng'an.

I handed a few projects to you

previously.

Look at

how they all ended up.

A complete mess!

Don't think

just because you're my only son

that I'd hand the company over to you.

Dad.

I... I was wrong.

Come on.

Do as I say.

Yes, sir.

Who are you?

Who said

you could sit in that chair?

Allow me to introduce myself.

I am Ji Chengchuan.

Chengchuan?

Ji Chengchuan?

What is going on?

Long time no see, sir.

I'm back.

What...

Let us talk somewhere else.

Back then, the chairman divorced Lin Shu.

Didn't Lin Shu go overseas

with Ji Chengchuan?

When it's time to nominate the next CEO,

he shows up.

It's most likely Lin Shu's idea.

Aren't Lin Shu and Ji Chengchuan...

I bet you wish

we were both dead.

But too bad.

I survived that incident 15 years ago.

How am I supposed to believe

you're really Ji Chengchuan?

A DNA test

should confirm it.

What do you think?

Jinghui.

See to that.

Okay.

I'll get to it, sir.

[DNA results]

[The possibility of establishing biological kinship is 99.9999%]

How could this be?

My mom

did pass away in that accident.

But you didn't know

that I was the sole survival

of that fire.

The boy who was burned

beyond recognition

was Qin Ming's son.

The day of the fire,

he happened to be playing hide-and-seek at my place.

I hid in a cupboard

when the fire broke out.

I managed to survive it,

but he was burned to death.

He then laid in the tomb for me

for decades.

After the incident,

I was adopted by Mr. Qin.

All these years,

you thought the one who died was Qin Ming,

Lin Shu and Ji Chengchuan.

You missed the fact that I survived.

Of course, I get that

in order to take control of the company,

you kept the news of your wife's

and actual son's death a secret.

So, why did you

come back?

To take over the role of CEO,

as my mom had stated in the document.

Of course, there's something more important.

Did you think I didn't know?

The money.

My mom had left me a sum of money.

Otherwise, you thought

I was going to reunite with you, Uncle?

These past years,

how have you been?

Mr. Ji.

You can save

your insincere pleasantries.

All I know

is that you had an affair with Chen Yaqin.

My mom only agreed

to the divorce

because you totally broke her heart.

Also, she had made preparations

to take me overseas.

But the accident happened.

Not long after,

you married Chen Yaqin.

Even after so many years,

you never announced the deaths

of me and my mother.

At the time,

Chengtian barely got on track.

If I had announced your deaths,

it would've caused volatility within the company.

I didn't want it

to all be for naught.

Alright.

Since you won't believe me,

never mind.

This is a handwritten statement

from Madam Lin Shu.

[For the declaration document to be signed and effective,]

[both the person and the seal must be present at the same time.]

So if I wish to claim this money

and be appointed

the CEO position in Chengtian,

I'd have to show my mom's personal stamp

at the board meeting?

That's right.

Perhaps you're unaware.

At the time, your mother made the special clause

in the agreement.

To prevent any mishaps,

you and the stamp

have to be present together

in order to obtain what is yours

as stated in the agreement.

And your mother had repurposed

her personal stamp

into a pendant then.

She gifted it to you

when you turned one.

Seems like

if I can't show you the pendant,

what is originally mine

will still be in your possession.

How scheming you are,

Mr. Ji.

After all, it concerns Chengtian's future.

Besides,

it's all the chairman's lifelong work.

Of course we have to be extra cautious.

Moreover, the stakeholders meeting is in seven days.

We have to be able to explain

to the stakeholders.

Where's the necklace?

Needless to say,

I wear it at all times.

Because it constantly

reminds me

of what you did to me

and my mother back then.

Gentlemen.

We shall meet at the stakeholder's meeting.

I expect all documentation for the handover

to be ready by then.

I reckon with the presence

of the stakeholders,

no one is going

to play any more tricks.

Hao, are you finished?

What's the situation?

They believe I'm Ji Chengchuan.

That's great.

When you're part of the executive board,

things will become much easier.

Did Ji Cheng'an recognize you?

If that woman hadn't caused the mess

last night,

we wouldn't have almost blown our cover.

Never mind that.

It's time

to proceed to the next step.

[Kaleidoscope]

Yao!

Come here.

You must be exhausted.

Sit.

Have a seat.

Sit.

Yao.

We have a job.

Our target this time is Cheng...

I don't care which Cheng.

You do know

the trauma I suffered last time.

I need a break for two days.

Rest then.

The technical director

happens to be feeling tired.

Moreover, I'm personally

not motivated by money.

The game just got a new patch anyway.

What did you do to feel tired?

Why can't I feel tired?

Song Yao.

You're being

a little rude towards me lately.

Remember who

is feeding and housing you.

Hey!

What's your problem, Shen Shuangshuang?

At least Song Yao is my childhood friend.

And you're merely

a friend of my childhood friend.

This is my last warning to you two.

You better treat me better.

Didn't you say we have a job?

Let's get down to business.

Yao.

Allow me, the head of intel,

to give you a rundown.

Our target this time

has no conscience whatsoever.

To fight for inheritance,

he even disowned his real father.

He threatened to kick his dad and family

out of the house.

So arrogant.

Tell me.

Is that acceptable?

Borderline acceptable.

Song Yao.

You bothered to ensure Li Chen

got to see his daughter.

But you turn a blind eye towards this atrocity?

You've lost it.

Lost what?

I'm not Superman

who has to save the world.

I need to rest for at least two days.

Fine, you rest.

The client's instruction

is to figure out

what the target's necklace looks like.

And we'll get 500,000.

What? 500,000?

You should've said so.

Who cares about the lead-up?

That's definitely unacceptable!

If I don't get rid

of such jerks,

there will be

no more justice and truth in this world.

I accept the job.

Just send the deposit.

In full.

Do you two

take back what you said earlier?

It's fine for the sake of 500,000 yuan.

Let's sit down.

I won't complain.

Sit.

Hurry up.

Show us the info.

This

is the target

with no conscience.

It's him?

[Ji Chengchuan]

You...

This way.

Enemies are bound to meet one another.

Fine.

We're in!
