Cruel Romance.
Episode 10
My apologies, Master Long. I have been busy lately and couldn't meet you earlier.
From now on, we can cooperate well.
Together in Shanghai, we can create a new situation.
I heard that you are Muto Oda's disciple.
Yes.
Senior Muto Oda is my teacher.
This old hag, left such a mess and
Left you here?
I'm still waiting for him to come back to fight together with Zou Zhen.
Let me ask you. What is that old fogey thinking of?
Even though it looks like you are defeated general,
Never the less it seems like your memory is not long.
What did you say?
Ever since I was little, I have experienced starvation.
So I really hate it when people waste food.
Let me tell you. Your teacher don't even dare to say...
Remember this.
The biggest difference between Teacher WuTeng and I
is that he considered you as an important partner.
but in my eyes,
you are only just a chess piece which could be thrown away.
Hence, don't think too highly of yourself.
When I want to throw you away,
everything
won't just stop here.
Understand?
I understand.
Excellent.
I see that we have finally reached an agreement.
Recently, I had a ton of opium
that I have to deliver to ShangHai.
I want to use those familiar to you,
To break up all these opiums
It will be masked as a normal good.
Batch by batch happily shipped into Shanghai.
Anna.
Jin Xiu, you are here.
Quick, where is my letter?
Looking at how anxious you are,
Every month, only at this time would you be so excited to see me.
Enough, Jinxiu. You are the best.
- Okay, I will get it for you now. - Okay, go now.
I'm here to get Anna's letter.
- Anna? - Rong Jinxiu.
Why are you picking up Anna's letter?
- I... - I'm curious.
There is no Anna in the company. Why is the letter directed here?
Anna is my friend.
She is only just using Mei Hua Cosmetics company to forward her mail.
Is that so?
Can just anybody have a relationship with MeiHua?
Manager Chen. This letter is very important to my friend.
Can't you hand it over to me?
There was such a letter but we don't have an Anna here.
I told them to take it back.
What?
Jin Xiu, where is my letter?
Sorry. That letter...
was just returned back by my Manager.
What? Returned back?
No. She can't do that.
Sorry, I was too late.
Mailman. Mailman, wait.
My letter!
Sorry, I will pick it up for you.
Anna.
I found it. This is my letter. I finally found it.
- Is this letter very important to you? - It's very important.
It's more important than my life.
What's wrong?
Anna.
Come,
sit down.
What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?
Is it because of him?
He is my boyfriend.
He said he will come here in Shanghai to visit me.
That's great. Why are you crying then?
You don't understand.
We grew up together.
Later, he got into Hong Kong University
but the school fee was so expensive and his family couldn't afford it.
Thus, I came to Shanghai
to be a dance hostess
to make money to pay for his school fees.
But he doesn't know about this.
I lied to him that
I was working at Mei Hua Cosmetics Company in Shanghai.
Now that he's coming back,
what if he finds out that I'm a dance hostess?
- Then, he... - Okay.
He definitely won't want me anymore.
That won't happen.
Don't cry.
Nothing is unsolvable. I'll help you think of a way.
Jin Xiu.
Zou Master is so good to you.
Can
Canwe beg him to help us?
Beg him?
Jin Xiu.
Okay, don't worry. You're my friend.
This thing, I will definitely help you think of a solution.
Don't cry.
Go ask Zou Zhen to help.
I can't. Looking for him for this kind of thing. I'll definitely get scolded by him.
Then what should I do. Who should I look for?
Ya, I can look for Ying Master about this.
Xiang Master.
Helping a beauty,
I would have to say yes.
So this, just hand it to me.
MeiHua
No.
Didn't I say? All the lost income
I'm saying, ALL of the lost income. I will take responsibility for all of it.
Is that okay?
Xiang Er Shang, each company has its own regulations.
MeiHua is no exception. Please understand.
I still have other things to do.
Director, look, this was the recent
Fake good that imitated us in the market.
This fake product is very deceptive.
The quality is down right horrible.
Some people, after putting it on, almost all of their faces are ruined.
Go to the police. We have to find the origin of this fake product.
Has it been agreed?
No.
Don't worry. If this won't work, I will think another way.
What other ways?
Is it possible to make another MeiHua out of thin air.
What make another out of thin air..?
You answered it right.
We'll make another MeiHua out of thin air.
Jinxiu, this table, so heavy how can you move it, really...
Quickly, quickly! Move the tables.
This kind of stuff, let them do it.
Shanghai.
The Xiang's family abandon factory has been transformed into MeiHua's office.
Even if Du Ping has fiery eyes and diamond pupils, he won't discover it.
That's wrong. Something is wrong.
I know. There's no make up!
How can a make up company that doesn't have its own make up?
I'm going to buy some. -No, I already thought about it.
If suddenly, you buy so many MeiHua products. They are so expensive,
and you would stir attention from their offices.
The company has a batch of products hidden at the dock.
It will be sent out tomorrow night.
As long as we borrow that batch of products for a bit
and then secretly return it,
We wouldn't miss the delivery time either.
Hey! I have a way.
That batch of products, after I finish using them, I will immediately return it.
Help me...
You know that privately taking good from the dock is a very serious thing.
Exactly why do you need these good?
If I tell him the truth, he definitely won't agree.
Nevertheless, I just have a really serious need for them.
It's true.
Help me, please...
Please help me!
Help me this once and I'll owe you.
You can ask me to do anything.
Help me, help me.
Anything is fine?
Okay.
Tomorrow morning, I'll have TangHai send you the products.
But, you need to come back on time. Do you understand?
Yes! Thank you!
I have something to do, I need to go now.
Bye!
Ta Hai.
2nd Master, what do you need me to do?
These next few days, follow JinXiu.
Wow, you're inviting me to drink?
This is...
I need to borrow your goods from the dock.
If something happens, I'll take responsibility.
Borrow goods?
Why?
JinXiu asked me. I have to help her.
I just don't have a habit of diverting funds.
Don't worry. I will take all the responsibility.
You give so much effort for this girl.
It doesn't look like you.
I really envy her.
Dock.
Where is it?
Can't you see it?
Du Ping!
Anna!
Du Ping!
Anna!
Du Ping. Let me introduce. These two are my colleagues.
This is Yin Shao and this is Jin Xiu.
Hello. -Hello.
Don't stay here anymore. You must be tired. I made a reservation at a restaurant. Let's go eat.
Okay.-Let's go.
What are you doing?-What are you looking at?
Look at Anna.
She's so lucky.
Ya, it wasn't wasted effort.
Saying this is still too early.
If Du Ping finds out tomorrow that this was all fake,
I can never think what Anna will look like without Du Ping.
Whenever I think of tomorrow, I get so nervous.
I'll bring somewhere.
What are you doing? What are you doing?
What is YingDong doing exactly these days?
This chemical plant has been abandoned for a period of time.
I heard that Ying Master is helping this JinXiu girl.
And I don't know why, but he made the building look like MeiHua Company.
He's just bored. Just let him have something to do.
-Making new friends is a good thing. -Yes.
Rong JinXiu is Miss MingZhu's biological sister.
Should we,
Relay a message for me: If Ying Dong needs anything,
I will cooperate.
What should we do?
I'm really nervous right now.
Say, what if tomorrow's situation,
Doesn't succeed, what should we do?
Come, look here.
This building is ours, and the neighboring is MeiHua Company.
Do you see the difference between the two lighting?
There is no difference. You can't even tell.
So, real of fake, that's not important.
You don't have to be so anxious the whole day.
I took you here for you to experience ShangHai's night.
Tomorrow, I want to have DuPing and Anna here to dine together.
Really?
If Anna and DuPing can be in such a romantic place
dine together,
They will definitely have a memorable experience.
You know AnNa was my second friend in ShangHai.
At my most lonely and in need for support moments,
She helped me.
So I really hope that she can be happy.
So beautiful.
♫ so I gently said, I can finally be more happy. ♫
So beautiful.
It feels like a dream.
♫ so I gently ask, ♫
♫ whose traveler guest am I? ♫
I feel that, we are like a dream.
But I wish that this dream, we will never wake from it.
♫ In the splendid eternal Galaxy ♫
♫ While loving the music I love♫
♫ That sensation and happiness♫
♫ At times of loneliness♫
♫ if you hear this song,♫
♫ Would you remember ♫
♫ that I have sung it for you?♫
Silly girl, don't think too much about it. We will definitely succeed tomorrow.
Ya.
Oh I remembered, I still have some work at the office.
Ya.
I'll go first. Bye.
See you tomorrow.
How can I do this?
Such despicable behavior.
Ying MingZhu. How much time do I need to forget you?
Is this real?
For sure.
I didn't think he was so sincere about her.
This, I think, was also accepted by Mr. Xiang.
Faking MeiHua Company.
People who know, know that it's to help someone.
Those who don't would think that they are trying to do something to MeiHua.
I know. I'll tell the police tomorrow.
Opening a company, faking MeiHua's products.
I would really like to see how Rong Jin Xiu finishes.
ZhuangMei HuaMei
Didn't I tell you guys to dress more professionally?
This is pretty professional.
You don't understand.
This is so unlike MeiHua's employees. This won't do.
I have an idea.
Everyone look.
In my hand, is the uniform of MeiHua employees.
Everyone quickly put it on.
So troublesome. If I knew, I wouldn't have come.
Everyone. How much do you make dancing in one day?
I, Xiang YingDong, will match that price.
-Really? -Really.
Hurry and change. Hurry.
Remember to wash off your make-up.
Now it looks more comfortable. Turn around, let's look.
Why did you step on me?
-You think your so great? -So what I stepped on you?
You're hitting me?
Don't fight.
Calm down. Don't...
Stop messing around.
Do you guys have dreams? Do you have loved ones?
I believe that you do. Think about it.
If there is one day that your dreams are in trouble. What would you do?
Would you wish that someone would come and help.
Think about it.
DuPing is AnNa's dream. He is her everything.
If you help her with this,
Don't you think this is such a meaningful and heroic thing?
Then, we'll help her. What do we do?
Ya, How?
The next is very simple. Everyone, look at what's in my hand,
There is everyone of your occupations, identities and names.
Memorize them well and become the person on this paper.
Everyone gets one. Pass it around.
Let me see. This long?
And we have to memorize? Memorize this?
ZhuangMei HuaMei.
It's here?
DuPing. This is the company I work at.
This place is really nice.
-Take me inside to look around. -Okay.
Hello? AiLing? Remind the warehouse that
WuHan's goods, we don't have to send today.
Hello Sister He, the new product's plans, you must sent it to me by 2pm this afternoon.
The Director is waiting to review it.
MeiHua Company would be ShangHai's number one cosmetics company in ShangHai.
The people in here, all seem really significant.
Ya.
Where's your desk?
I
Over there, that's my desk.
So you are the famous DuPing? Hello.
So welcoming.
Ya.
It looks like we didn't get found out.
DuPing believes that this is MeiHua.
All went well.
This is your product?
Really nice.
Jin Xiu, Ying Dong. I almost forgot, you two also work in MeiHua.
Really thank you both. Always taking care of AnNa.
Oh ya, what do you two do in MeiHua?
-I... -[She] is the director.
I am her assistant.
Jin Xiu is so young and already is a director? Amazing.
That's right, she usually use MeiHua's cosmetics,
So she takes care of herself very well.
Ya, ya.
DuPing,
Here, outsiders are not allowed to be here. But with your relationship with AnNa,
We looked passed this. But today, everyone is working,
How about,
Okay, Understood.
JinXiu, what are you guys doing?
Zou Boss.
Welcome, it's so rare for you to come,
Let's talk at the office.
Who is he?
Why is he so nonchalant in front of the director?
He, he
He is...
He is a boss who cooperates very closely with the director.
Can't afford to offend him.
Yes.
Director?
Yes, Zou Boss, I will welcome you to MeiHua company.
Let's talk in the office. Let's go.
You should have a limit to your games.
I don't understand what you are saying, Zou Boss. Let's talk inside.
Zou Boss, let's talk inside.
Why are you involved in this?
This, what is happening?
Please? Don't reveal me.
Please. I beg of you.
Police, all the criminals are in there.
Hurry and go arrest them.
All of you don't move.
Don't arrest us. We are all here to help.
Help? Help faking.
What faking? AnNa.
What is happening?
This, you guys.Aren't you guys all MeiHua's employees?
Of course they are.
With I, Xiang YingDong here, who dares to say that this plaec is fake?
I was wondering who it was. It was Xiang Master, hello.
I were offered a clue and are here to investigate on fake products.
In ShangHua Bund, who doesn't know that I have businesses everywhere?
We working with MeiHua company is not a new thing.
What? We made a new company here, can we not?
It's easy to say. But MeiHua was recently reported to the police,
Saying that there are a lot of fake products.
2nd Master, we do things according to rules,
Do you're just not giving me respect.
2nd Master, Don't force this upon us. This is a very simple thing,
Let's ask the Boss of MeiHua to come out to confirm, that will make everything clear.
Police, isn't MeiHua Company's director right here?
Police Zhang.
If Xiang Master and Mr. Xiang's reputation is not enough,
Don't know if it's enough to add my power.
Zou Master, you're here too? We didn't know you were also here. Sorry to have offended.
Police Zhang, I'm saying that this is not a fake product facotry.
Having me as a witness, you shouldn't be worried.
I'm not worried, not worried. Put down your guns.
Since it's all a misunderstanding. This brothers, you should all go.
Tang Hai, prepare some tea money for the police.
Yes.
2nd master, you're too kind. What are you still here for? Go.
Okay, no problems. It was all a misunderstanding. Everyone continue to work.
Okay DuPing, no problems. It was all a misunderstanding.
Now that you've already seen the office. We should go.
How about we, go eat.
-Yes -Yes, Let's go eat.
Let's go eat.
I'll come eat too.
Let's go.
What do you want to eat?
You decide. I'll take you.
You should come with.
Let's go.
Come on. Let's go eat. Come.
I'm so hungry.
Ying Master is really funny.
Today, thank you for everyone's entertainment.
I have troubled everyone. Later, I have a meeting with classmates,
So I'll be going first.
Your thanks, I have already felt it.
But Ying Master, I want to say, my work time has come,
I have to go quickly, bye.
Let's go.
-Zou Zhen -This...
Do you two owe me an explanation?
I'll say it.
We haven't seen each other for so long.
Your first time in ShangHai, come and experience.
Although this place can't beat Paramount Night Club, the ladies here are way prettier.
Later, I'll introduce you to a few.
This woman's back is so familiar.
This is your some what rational explanation?
Yes.
You don't think that helping a couple,
Is the happiest thing in the world?
Think about it. If it were not us helping An Na and Du Ping,
their relationship will be killed off by people like you.
Do you think so too?
This is AnNa's dream.
She helped me a lot at my time of despair. I definitely need to help her.
Let's say that you two successfully lied to him today,
What about after today?
Can you two continue this lie forever?
If that man didn't want AnNa just because of this,
Then can his feelings for AnNa be real?
Can a love that depends on a lie last?
Why can't it be long? Why can't it be forever?
Right now it's you who feels it's a dishonest matter, it's just that in the middle of it, we've encountered a minor obstacle.
This thing, as long as you don't say, I don't and AnNa doesn't,
she will soar high and live a happy live. How can they not be?
No wonder your brother says you're too naive.
No wonder everyone say that you don't have game.
As long as emotions are real, I don't need game.
Do you not understand kind words?
-Kind words. -Okay, okay. Stop it you two.
What are you two doing?
Go away.
-Are you mental? I was here first. -I wanted to take a look.
Why are you here?
DuPing. Listen to my explanation.
I didn't lie to you on purpose.
DuPing. DuPing.
What is he doing pushing people?
-It's not like that. -DuPing.
-It's not like this. -DuPing.
Du Ping.
Du Ping. Du Ping.
Du Ping. Let me explain.
Du Ping.
Zou Zhen, I understand what you mean.
Thank you for not revealing me.
I'll thank AnNa for you.
2nd Master, something happened to AnNa.
I... I...
An Na. An Na.
What are you doing? Get down. Get down now.
What are you saying?
I... What am I doing?
I.. I'm looking for something.
I'm looking for something. I need to look for something.
-Get down. -Don't come here.
If you come, I'll jump.
Okay, I won't go, I won't go.
Get down. Get down and talk. Get down!
I want to look for something.
I want to search for my things.
AnNa, tell me, what are you looking for?
I am looking for...
I... I'm looking for my silk scarf.
The one that DuPing gave me.
That was when we were in the village.
DuPing bought it for me.
I think I lost it.
So DuPing is mad and doesn't want me anymore.
If I find it,
DuPing wouldn't be mad. He would then come back.
AnNa.
-Let me search, let me search. -AnNa, listen to me. Listen to me.
-Don't scream, let me search. -Listen to me.
Don't jump off. If you jump now, everything will be gone.
Think about DuPing. Think about everything you did for him. Get down.
Don't come. Don't come here.
Let me search.
AnNa, look at me.
I'll help you look. I'll help you look. DuPing will help you look. He's outside.
-You're lying to me. -I'm not.
DuPing left.
He doesn't want me.
No, he didn't leave. He's outside.
I'll bring him here right now. He'll help you look, okay?
-Really? -Really.
You're not lying to me?
I will go find him. I won't lie to you.
Believe me. Wait for me.
Wait for me. Wait here.
I will go find him right now.
No problem, hurry on.
Don't be rash.
You, are you even a man?
I am just here to report to you.
AnNa wants to jump off a building and commit suicide for you.
If you don't want to care about her, then just let her jump off.
What did you say?
No, you're lying to me.
A girl like her.
Why would she die for me?
If you still consider yourself a man, then at least go collect her body.
Collect her dead body?
No, that's impossible.
That's impossible.
Collecting her body is something you should be doing.
Let me calculate.
You went abroad for schooling,
Every year's living cost and education cost is at least $1,000
While AnNa dances in teh night club everyday, for 6 hours,
Can only earn $4.
You were schooled for 4 years, that means she danced for 4 years.
Of course, she did it by will.
She chose, herself, to be a dancer, to pay for you. No one can understand.
But, is it just for this money,
You should see her one last time?
AnNa.
It's all because of me.
An Na. I have to go find AnNa.
AnNa.
-DuPing. -It's me AnNa.
Hurry and come down from there. Don't scare me.
No. You're not DuPing.
I don't want you to worry about me.
Don't pretend to not recognize me.
You know that I can't let you go.
So you are making me miserable like this, right?
Make you miserable?
That's right.
DuPing doesn't want me anymore.
He's far away from me.
Then what is the meaning for me to live on?
Living, to me,
Is a misery.
I'm not going, AnNa.
I'm not going.
I beg of you.
I'm begging you, please get down.
-I beg of you. -Don't come here!
AnNa, I'm beggin you.
Okay.
You want to die.
I'll die with you.
Don't you not want me anymore?
Aren't you sick of me, hate me?
I love you.
I never stopped loving you.
DuPing. I'm not afraid of having a hard life,
I'm not afraid of offense.
I'm not even afraid of death.
I'm just afraid. I'm just afraid that you don't want me.
I know.
So, from now on, where ever you are,
I will follow you.
We go down together, okay?
Listen to me, let's get down together.
We still have our whole lives to be together.
Our whole lives.
We are together forever.
Yes.
I will be together our whole lives.
And never part.
DuPing.
Come.
DuPing.
♫ This time is different.♫
AnNa, I will never leave you again.
AnNa.
Forgive me, AnNa, I was wrong.
DuPing.
No need to send us off. Bye.
