The Bird and the Fish - by Lü Yan Xi
♫ Actually, I’m most afraid that you would say “It’s impossible.” ♫
♫ Perhaps only by being at the ends of the earth, never seeing each other, will it touch people. ♫
♫ We silently turn around. Once we turn around, ♫
♫ we are only strangers. ♫
♫ I exhale, outlining that long shadow of yours. ♫
♫ I’ve once tried hard to diminish the distance between us. ♫
♫ Yet I actually had no idea ♫
♫ That the story of the bird and the fish wasn’t true. ♫
♫ Actually, I’m most afraid that you would say “It’s impossible.” ♫
♫ Perhaps only by being at the ends of the earth, never seeing each other, will it touch people. ♫
♫ It’s touching, yet it seems so idiotic it’s unbearable. ♫
♫ It’s numbed that innocence. ♫
♫ Because of that innocence, I’m even more afraid you’ll say it’s impossible. ♫
♫ Perhaps we are two people galloping in opposite directions, never meeting. ♫
♫ We silently turn around. Once we turn around, ♫
♫ we are only strangers. ♫
♫We are only strangers. ♫
Episode 45
Director, what else do you have left to say?
Hope is trashed. The workers quit.
The money you received is all gone too, right? Where's the profit you promised us, huh?
- You two, please let me explain. - You don't need to say anything.
You should keep your word. I don't want your share any more.
It is just a hollow shall. We are going to transfer our shares tomorrow.
We will sell whatever we can. We will count it as our bad luck. Let's go!
- Both Board Members! Both Board Members!- Wait!
- Listen to me to explain.- Wait.
Who said he is going to transfer his shares?
Why are you here, Grandpa?
I am telling you guys.
Ting Corporation is the top corporation in the field.
If you are going to walk, don't think of coming back.
Grandpa! Grandpa!
Both Board Members, You two are aware of my grandpa's condition.
I am the Chairwoman,
so all the decision go through me.
What do you mean you make the decisions?
You are only a young lady. Do you still have me, the grandpa in your heart?
Let me tell me, there are a lot of people, lining up all the way to
Nan Tian Gate, want to invest in our company.
If you guys want to leave, go right away. Ting Huai Yuan won't see you again.
- Grandpa! Grandpa! Enough!- You go! Go!
Yu You Wei. You saw it. Let's go!
Wait. Both board members.
Stop! Where are you going?
Old man Ting. You are getting confused.
Who is getting confused?
No! No! No! I... I am getting confused.
Who are you? Why are you here meddling?
Secretary Wu! Secretary Wu!
Kick those people out! Hurry!- I am Han Shu Gen.
- Sorry. Let's talk about this another day.- You are confused so you shouldn't come out here to meddle with things.
The company is done for.
You guys stop! Who told you to leave?
Wait... company...
Don't go...
Grandpa!- That old man's brain is worse day after day.
Where is my grandpa going?
You should go follow him.
Grandpa!
Stop the car! Stop the car!
Don't do it, Dong Yan.
Open the door! Why are you doing this?
Don't think like that! You can propose any request to me.
- Grandpa! Grandpa!- Dong Yan. Dong Yan.
- Listen to me.- It is very dangerous.
- Grandpa!- You shouldn't think this way.
Dong Yan!
Grandpa! Grandpa!
You are a jerk!- Grandpa, are you alright?
You are ungrateful person. That's what people call this kind of people. Didn't you know?
Are you alright, grandpa?
- Get up.- Old man Ting! Old man Ting.
How can you think that, Dong Yan?
Our company!
Let me tell you. You have one big problem.
You are narrow-minded and like to hold a grudge.
So you held the grudge your entire life, how did it turn out for you?
Retribution? Right?
So when we were young,
how hard was it?
We even dreamed of building ships every night.
First thing after opening our eyes, we would go draw the designs.
Where do we have so many drafting papers?
Somedays, we would only eat one meal.
Sometimes, we wouldn't even have any meal at all.
We were so hungry.
What did we do when we were hungry? We recited poems..
to shift our attention.
Young we were, school mates,
At life's full flowering; filled with student enthusiasm.
Boldly, we cast all restraints aside.
Pointing to our mountains and rivers, setting people afire with our words,
we counted the might no more than muck.
Remember still,
What comes next?
I knew you couldn't remember it.
How, venturing midstream, we struck the waters, and waves stayed the speeding boats?
Look at your glance!
You! You are just jealous of me. You are mad.
You think I am smarter than you so you are mad, right?
Even if you are mad, you can hit me. It's alright.
Aren't you always wanting to slap my big mouth?
Why don't you hit me now? Hit my big mouth?
You.. You hit me. Hit me.
Old man Ting, I am letting you hit me!
You don't remember me any more.
I am your.. enemy the past 30 years and forever your brother.
I am... that absolutely irreconcilable Han Shu Gen.
I...
I always wanted to defeat you.
I figured if I defeated you,
you would have to beg on the street and be homeless.
But I didn't ever think you would become like this.
You have lost. I have also lost.
Brother.
Let's not fight any more. What do you think?
Today.
I will just finish it off with you.
I know... even though 30 years has past.
But... there is one thing...
I think I need to tell you.
Let us... from now on...
let's be united together.
We will accomplish the wish we couldn't achieve when we were young.
What do you think?
Why did this happen?
Tell me! Why?
Grandpa.
I would like to speak to You Wei, Han Ming.
I have talked to old man Ting.
I am prepared to collaborate with Ting Corporation.
Grandpa Han.
I am doing this is all because of morality towards old man Ting.
As for you wanting to be with Han Ming, I still have the same thoughts.
Unless I am dead,
otherwise, it is impossible.
No matter what, thank you for helping my family.
Han Ming and I... I know what you mean.
You health is most important. Please don't delay the treatment.
Han Ming.
- Grandpa.- Let's go.
- Ai Jia.- Grandpa.
Take me to somewhere tomorrow. Okay?
This is where our Ting family started.
In a flash, 30 years has past. A tree died but a person prospered.
Our Ting Family needs to change a place.
Change a place?
Man struggles upwards; water flows downwards.
You can't keep anyone who wants to leave.
But we can't stop building boats. We are running out of money,
we can sell the building.
- Sell the building?- Yes.
- Grandpa!- It's alright. It's alright.
Don't we have that little boat house?
We are not announcing bankruptcy.
But...
I heard Han Shu Gen is involving himself with our business.
I understand.
He must be helping me because he saw me in a desperate situation.
I can't believe that old thing is so loyal.
Don't pay him back in the future.
Well...
We are all old. Those old tunes
shouldn't play again.
We need to change... to the new ideas.
Ai Jia. Grandpa believes in you.
You will be able to lead the Ting Corporation through the crisis.
Grandpa!
Oh! Good!
- Too small!- How are we going to fit.
- Can't fit!- How are we going to... - Look everyone...
It will fit. We already have it figured out.
The Administrative Department will be using the big office at the sailing team.
Finance Department will be at General Manager Fang's old office.
- Purser Department will be using this table.- One table? We can't all fit at one table.
Listen to me, everyone. You can all sit around the table.
It is convenient for communication. It will guarantee the business becomes more prosperous with each passing day.
What about the Research and Development Department?
Perhaps.. there is no more Research and Development Department?
Sure. How can we not have Research and Development?
Over here. It is still our Ting Corp's heart.
What a joke!
A grand company Ting Corp become like this today. I quit!
- That's true! - Don't go! Listen to me.
Please listen to me, Everyone!
Everyone. Ting Corp become this way,
I have let you guys down.
But... everyone who is standing here today,
I believe you have a very profound deep affection for Ting Corp.
Also, you are the core power of the company.
And this is the heart of the Ting Corp.
So I am asking everyone to give me one more chance.
Let us come back to here and allow the heart to beat again.
I believe we have the conviction and the skill. We will be successful for sure.
Does everyone believe in it?
- We do.- We believe.- We have faith.- No problem.
- Okay. Let's work.- Okay!
Why are you here?
Miss Yu. Could I get into your heart?
Aren't you already inside?
Why are you here?
- I want to give you one thing.- I don't want it.
- Want it or not, at least decide after you see it.
I don't need to see it. I don't want it.
Follow me.
Yu Shi Wei. Let go of me. Why are you taking me here?
Yu Shi Wei! What do you want?
I have bought this building.
You don't need to live in that house by the water. Move here.
You have that much power now?
Ping Ya wants to purchase some property. I only give some suggestions.
Do you know that you are embezzling company property secretly?
I have already got that figure out. This is a rental agreement.
Right now, Ping Ya won't be sending anyone over to this building.
So right now, it is going to just sit here. It is very normal to rent it out.
I will ask financing Department to make up the fake payment. I won't take your money.
Doesn't matter what kind of excuse you use. As long as we use it,
a person of good sense will figure out what is going on.
Ping Ya won't agree to that. What you are doing is very dangerous.
I am the person in charge of office in China. I don't have the right to buy a building?
Do you think your job is very secure?
- Haven't you noticed? - Noticed what?
Why would they let someone like you who is inexperienced to be in charge?
Isn't it for AJ6?
I am advising you to be careful.
Don't be so impulsive and savage.
Right now, the project is in my hand.
Who can say anything once the project is successful?
What if it is unsuccessful? Don't you want to be an upright person any more?
- Yu You Mei is using you. Don't let her use you any more.- Enough!
Why am I always wrong whatever I do? And everything Han Ming does is right!
How many times do I have to repeat myself? You and I will never happen.
You will always be my younger brother.
Besides, Liu Xiao Mie has always been by your side. Why can't you pay attention to her instead?
Why did you have to be persistent on me? Do you know this is not love? This is obsession.
You are just acting rashly out of a feeling of injustice.
Also, I can tell
it is not as if you don't have any feeling towards Liu Xiao Mei.
What are you talking about?
Shi Wei. What you need to do
is treasure what is next to you and treat Xiao Mei nicely.
Not follow Yu You Mei around and stir up havoc.
Listen to your sister's advice. She is really using you.
Stop talking.
- In this world, money is not everything. - I am asking you to stop talking.
This building is for your use from now on. I am assuming you have signed the contract.
Don't be stupid, Yu Shi Wei.
You can't do this. It won't work.
So what if I am stupid? If you don't want it, just tear it up.
After all, Shi Wei is still young so he would be reckless sometimes.
If he can stop thinking
and come over and help me out. How nice could that be?
Don't worry! I think everything will work out slowly.
How is your grandpa?
Same old, same old. I am going to see my grandpa later.
I am going to ask him to let me represent the collaboration partner to talk to you about the collaboration.
Why?
I don't trust Ai Jia.
General Manager Han. You are here.
How are you feeling, Grandpa?
Not good.
What's wrong with you?
I don't even have the energy to talk.
I already told Auntie. You are not allowed to go out. You scared me when you went to the Ting family.
- Did you know?- Right now, I...
I can't even walk even if I want to.
It will be fine walking. You can walk in the garden.
You don't want to go to the hospital. It is fine if you stay home.
I am telling you. I feel that I am dying.
I almost finished my will even.
I already thought it through, Grandpa.
If you agree to go to hospital, I won't be with You Wei.
I promise you.
- Really?- Really.
Thank you, God! My grandson finally smartened up.
Thank you, God! He finally...
- Please, God. I hope my Grandpa will agree to one thing.-... smarten up.
I hope he will agree...
Tell me, I will agree to anything.
Grandpa. Didn't you say that Ting Corp and Han Corp are merging?
I think I will be in charge of it. What do you think?
So all this time, you were just deceiving me. You still want to be with that girl, right?
I already told you. I will do as I promised. But I am not a machine.
Ai Jia and You Wei do not get along well. I just want You Wei receiving fair treatment.
Also, I promise I will do official business according to official principles.
What do you think about that?
If you phrase it like that,
I can also give in a little.
But you can't lie to me.
I won't lie to you.
You should not read this kind of magazine too much, Grandpa.
You might as well say you want to read it.
You are early.
Good morning, Chairwoman Yu. I am the representative from Han Corp.
I will be in charge of the collaboration between Ting Corp and Han Corp.
My name is Han Ming.
Good morning, Mr. Han.
Your grandpa agreed?
But, he still hasn't agreed to us being together?
But I think Grandpa's slowly starting to change his views.
Really?
Otherwise, with his personality, he definitely wouldn't have let me deal with this issue.
Let's go. You haven't announced that you're going to collaborate with Han's Group.
I'm worried that the employees of Ting Corporation won't agree.
After all, the Ting and Han two families have been rivals for so many years.
Also, regarding AJ5 and AJ6,
twice, the leaked secrets had something to do with Han's Group.
That's simple. Just go tell the Ting Corporation's employees and it should be fine.
- Let's go. - Hey.

Xiao Li?
Where am I?
This isn't our house. This isn't...
This isn't my house.
They're all old employees, it's understandable that they protest.
Your grandpa's already stopped being stubborn, so stop burdening yourself.
Actually those old employees still have feelings for Ting Corporation,
I believe that one day, they'll understand.
What's wrong?
- Grandpa's missing. - What?
- Grandpa! - Grandpa Ting!
Grandpa! Gra-
Grandpa.
Grandpa Han.
Grandpa, where did you go? You scared me!
Don't go wandering off by yourself again, okay?
It's fine, Secretary Wu
- came with me to relax a little, right Secretary Wu? - Yeah.
I'll sit a while, okay?
I'll support you.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Come here.
Let me tell you, you can't let him live here by himself.
His brain has problems, if something were to happen, no one would even know.
I've thought about it. He and I have been rivals for many years.
I also don't want to continue to dispute with him.
This way, looking back, let him move to my house.
I am Secretary Wu, I guess I'll stay that way until the end.
Grandpa Han, you-
But there's one more thing. This is something between us two old men,
it has nothing to do with you or the Ting Han collaboration.
I understand, I know.
- Only I have another request. - What is it?
Regarding the Ting Han collaboration, I want Ting Corporation to keep its independence.
This is clearly using me as a springboard, huh?
That old Ting hasn't even said anything, you saying it makes you pretentious.
-That, - Grandpa Han. - That, Chairman?
Chairman? It's time to drink water.
Here, take a sip, take sip. It's not hot, okay?
Yeah, not even a little hot.
Here, drink some tea first.
Thank you.
Right now, the situation with Ting Corporation's employees has come to an end.
I'm most worried about Grandpa.
You don't need to worry about that. My grandpa will take care of your grandpa.
I know he will.
- Are you hungry?- I'm not hungry.
- Are you hungry? - A little bit.
- I'll go get something for you. - Hey, no, no, no, don't worry about it.
- This time, I'll do it. - You?
- Can you do it? - I can.
Here.
Turns out it was all bought.
You came prepared. I knew it!
Making it's fine, buying it is also fine, as long as it tastes good, it's all fine.
Here, have a drink.
No wonder you said you were hungry. It was carefully planned.
Here.
I think we can solve anything, so you need to stay strong.
Thank you, my most powerful supporter.
I will stay strong.
Cheers!
Grandpa Han, sit.
Let me.
How is it?
- I'm full. - You're full?
Aiyo, he's finally full.
How many days have you not given him food? Will you look at how hungry he is?
You even say I'm a tyrant? This is what you'd actually call a tyrant.
A big tyrant! An old tyrant!
Secretary Wu, is it your place to speak like that?
- You don't want to work here anymore, do you? - No, no, no. I do want to work here, I do.
You still want to work here? Really!
- Ai Jia?- Yes?
When are we renovating the house?
It's not as good as the old one.
- How come it's so dusty? - Grandpa, shh.
Have you ever lived in a good house before?
- Don't you know this house- - Hey, Secretary Wu, Secretary Wu.
- You can't talk to the Chairman like that. - Who's Secretary Wu? He can call me that, who said you can call me Secretary Wu?
- I'll beat y- - Shh. - What shh? What are you shh-ing?
- Secretary Wu. - Yes?
- This watermelon is quite good. - Ah, yes, yes, yes.
- Look, you've had your meal, you've had your fruit,
I'll get them to get rid of this. You should go upstairs and rest, okay?
You only gave watermelon, and didn't give me a meal?
What do you mean I didn't give you a meal? You just ate three steaks and red wine, have you forgotten already?
Steak?
Okay, okay, okay, I can't eat. I'll leave, I won't eat anymore!
- Hey, did you see him? - Grandpa! - He ate three steaks himself!
- Okay, okay, okay. - You, bring me upstairs. - Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa. I'll bring you upstairs, okay?
Okay, okay. Secretary Wu?
You've been hard at work for an entire day. Go home early and have a good rest.
- Xiao Li? - Huh? Oh.
Take Secretary Wu safely home, understand?
Okay, okay. Don't worry, Chairman, I will bring him safely home. Go rest, go rest.
Okay, I'll leave you to it.
Grandpa Han.
Sorry.
Grandpa!
Are you full, Secretary Wu?
I hate you! I haven't even eaten anything, you guys are all full!
Finish the watermelon, Secretary Wu.
I hate you!
Eh, you dare to drink red wine?
I hate you!
- You're still drinking, Secretary Wu? - Xiao Li, go drive the car!
Timing and subtitles brought to you by The Happy Ever After Team @Viki
Grandpa Han. You are looking for me?
Yes, I was looking for you. I have something to tell you.
You sit down.
- What's up? - I... have made a decision.
I want to merge Han Corp and Ting Corp.
Are you joking, Grandpa Han?
Why would I joke?
Why?
Old man Ting and I have known each other for over 30 years.
I want to help him.
I asked you to come today, so I could tell you ahead of time.
I will sign the contract with them. I will show you the contract.
- Grandpa Han! Grandpa Han.- The contract...
You have competed with Ting Corp most of your life, Grandpa Ting.
You almost won. Why are you helping them?
I am helping because I almost won.
This is called the winner sympathizing with the loser. Do you understand or not?
I do understand.
But... but such a important decision. Don't you need to wait for the board's okay?
Why can you decide on your own without permission?
I am the Chairman! So why can't I do it without permission?
Right! You are mentioning it to me so do you have an opinion?
- Me?- Yes.
I... I won't go against you for sure.
I just thought... what if the board has an opinion with your rushed decision.
The most important thing is that Ting Corp is soon to be bankrupt.
If we are merge with them, doesn't that mean we will lose money?
Sure, sure, sure. I will have a board meeting and tell them soon.
I asked you to come here so I could tell you today.
First of all, you are one of us. Secondly, you used to work in Ting Corp.
Yes...What if they are against it?
Who dares to go against it, I will have them to sit on Chairman's seat.
Who dares to sit on it?
Yes... Yes...
Grandpa Han. So the current situation is...
we are only just collaborating with the Koreans. There is a lot of pressure on the Operations Department.
If we merge with Ting Corp, It will affect a lot of people. It probably won't be good for us.
I have already thought of that.
I am going to ask Han Ming to be in charge of collaborating with Ting Corp.
Grandpa Han.
Why can you ask Han Ming to be hanging out with her?
Look! You are in charge of collaborating with Ping Ya. And he is in charge of collaborating with Ting Corp. I have thought about it quite a bit.
You don't stare at me like that. I know what you are thinking.
Han MIng already said that he has broken up with Yu You Wei.
You can't be so narrow-minded.
Men don't like narrow-minded women.
Remember that.
I remember it.
Han Corporation is merging with Ting Corporation.
What? How is that possible?
Grandpa Han told me personally.
Why?
If Yu You Wei got the help from Han Corporation,
doesn't that mean she found a backer?
I will go see Chairman Han.
It's useless, Shi Wei. I couldn't persuade him.
Changing his mind is not possible.
But... If changing the collaborating proposal...
It is possible to crash Ting Corp.
What do you mean?
Shi Wei!
Come in.
What's up?
I heard you are merging with Ting Corporation, Chairman.
Ai Jia's mouth is pretty quick.
She is my sister. Of course she would tell me.
I am thinking if I merge with Ting's sailing team,
Han Corp will be the real leader in the field.
Yes. But...
I am advising you to think it through.
I have already thought it through.
There is no problem.
Besides, this is our Han Corp's matter,
it has nothing to do with you.
Yes, yes, yes. Merging with Ting Corp is your Han Corp's matter,
but if it affects the collaboration with Ping Ya,
it won't be the solo matter of your company.
In my understanding, your finance is not solid right now.
That is the reason you collaborated with Ping Ya. Now,
you are taking up such a big risk. It will affect AJ6 project's operation.
Don't worry. This won't affect the operation of the project.
Then that is great.
According to our signed contract, once the project gets to the sea trail stage,
the assembling, installing and sea trail will be footed by Han Corp, right?
Yes.
Then, please give us the money, Chairman.
You can do a sea trail now?
Yes. I say we can then it means we can.
Well... Let me tell you.
In fact, our merging with Ting Corp really has nothing to do with you.
- I was thinking...- Chairman.
I am here today to talk business with you.
You can merge with whom ever you want..
Only.. I need to guarantee our project smooth sailing.
Think about it. The earlier we do a sea trail, the earlier the product can be finished.
It means you get to make money sooner.
Okay. Then...
About money, give me some time to think about it and I'll give you the response.
You don't have money, do you?
Yu Shi Wei.
Doing anything, you shouldn't press on at every stage.
Right? You should leave other some space. And also give yourself some space.
Got it?
Look at you saying that. I didn't leave you no space to move.
But if you are insisting on taking on the responsibility,
I am promising you that you will be violating our original contract.
Ping Ya has the right to go after you.
The only thing Ting Corp is useful for to Han Corp is their research department.
If you are to merge, why don't you merge only the research department?
Why are you taking on the entire company?
I am only thinking of your company. To take the load off.
Think about it more. I am leaving.
Why are you doing that?
No matter what. Yu You Wei is your sister.
Right now... we are only opponents.
If I win, everything with AJ6
will be controlled by Ai Jia and I.
The building... I can give it to whomever I want.
Let Shi Wei off, Ai Jia.
I am being nice to advise you to stop while you can.
Miss Yu You Wei. Are you willing to marry to Mr. Han Ming?
Let him care, protect and love you the rest of his life?
