Episode 15
Ji Wen Kai, I thought you promised to study hard for the exam.
How can we go to the theme park together if you keep mucking around?
Who cares if we can't go?
What if you can't achieve 30 million?
New Mei Mei has just reached our sales target of 30 million.
- Are you kidding? - It's true.
Their overseas exhibition representative, Huang Jia Yin
has just signed a contract with two companies
for a total of five million dollars.
- My goodness. - What if the factory strike continues?
Then Sales Team C will be...
Go and talk to Hui Yao...
- Boss Hui... - I'm sorry.
Mei Mei will go out of stock if you keep pestering him.
Why can't you treat me as a working partner whom you can talk to?
I'll definitely come to you if I ever need your help at work.
Ji Wen Kai's been transferring hundreds of millions of dollars recently.
Why would he do something like that?
But Tian Xi and Xin Wei...
Please change my appointment with GM Wang to 9:30 p.m. tomorrow night.
Bad news, Mr. Tarkovsky canceled his trip to Taiwan.
Hi, Ai Sha.
You want to change our meeting to 9:30 p.m. tomorrow night?
Even the venue's changed?
Sure.
Not at all, I'll go with whatever's best for your CEO.
Bye.
Who does Ji Wen Kai think he is?
If Xin Wei doesn't renew their egg shell membrane contract with Tian Xi
what will happen to their egg shell membrane mask?
How could he just change your appointment as he wishes?
That's right, GM, why don't you use this opportunity
to teach him a lesson?
It's still not the right time.
Remember.
We must keep our cool.
I'll have a good talk with him tomorrow.
Then he can't blame me when he falls hard on his face one day.
As for everything else, just stick to our plan.
- Yes. - Yes.
Off you go.
I'm going to go around the back to get to the office.
Okay.
Someone must have sent a video to Sales Team C's group chat again.
- What? - What happened? Is something wrong?
There are counterfeit Mei Mei products on the market.
We've received complaints from consumers all over Taiwan.
How can there be counterfeit products when it was just put on the market?
That also means that New Mei Mei's really popular.
Listen.
Ever since I transferred you to Sales Team C
we've been through a lot.
But you've managed to overcome all the problems.
I hope you can have confidence in me as well as yourself.
I'm sure you'll get through it this time as well.
I should thank CEO Ji
for giving me such harsh training.
I'm no longer afraid when faced with any kind of problem.
Don't worry, I can take care of this on my own.
You seem really confident.
- Okay. - I better go into the office now.
- I'm going. - Bye.
Okay, these are the last 20 boxes.
I'm sorry, but customers from other areas are already returning their products.
That's why our head office has asked us to get a refund for our stock already.
That's okay.
We should be responsible for counterfeit products.
We're really sorry for any inconvenience.
[Tian Xi]
How can there be counterfeit products?
Our stock price is plummeting.
Why are you still sitting here instead of doing something about it?
What are you waiting for?
CEO, when will you actually do something about this?
How can there be a counterfeit so soon after it was put on the market?
- What's going on? - Yeah, tell us what you're going to do.
- Yeah, we need an explanation. - Exactly.
Don't just sit there and pretend that nothing happened.
Just days after we solved the problem with Lin's Factory
now it's a counterfeit Mei Mei.
All the directors were questioning your leadership and management style.
Do you have any ideas about what you're going to do?
Did you call Sales Team C for an urgent meeting?
- Let's go. - CEO.
We'd like to ask you something, CEO.
He's busy right now.
If you really need to see him
I'll notify you once I've made an appointment for you, Manager Jia.
This can't wait.
Otherwise Tian Xi will close down before we know it.
After Mei Mei almost went out of stock after Lin's Factory's strike
the CEO was so biased toward Sales Team C
that he found another factory for just Mei Mei.
Don't you think that's way too biased?
Now that there's a problem with Mei Mei's ingredients
and a poor quality counterfeit product
it'll seriously affect our customers' confidence in Tian Xi's other products.
CEO, can you tell us what you're going to do about it?
- Yeah, what should we do? - We want an explanation.
The factory that's manufacturing Mei Mei
is a qualified factory.
There's nothing wrong with its product quality at all.
The counterfeit products didn't come from them.
The reason why the CEO looked for an alternative factory
was because he was worried that it would affect Tian Xi's other products.
It didn't have anything to do with Sales Team C.
Both Sales Team C and Mei Mei are a burden for Tian Xi.
Not only did you not get rid of them
for the welfare of Tian Xi
but you're actually trying very hard to help them.
There's only one reason for it.
That's because our CEO has put his relationship
before our company's welfare.
We all know you're dating Zhong Yu Tang from Sales Team C.
We all received this photo this morning.
I've never seen a CEO so intimate with a junior staff member.
You were caressing her face, hair, and head.
CEO, are you going to admit it?
- That-- - Ai Sha.
That's right.
It's true that I'm dating Zhong Yu Tang.
But I can guarantee
that I'd never let my personal feelings affect my work performance.
So you have nothing to worry about.
Since our CEO's in love
we'd love to give you our blessing.
It's just that...
if the counterfeit problems continues
it'll definitely affect the reputation of Tian Xi's other products.
Then you'll have to give everyone an explanation.
I'll do my best to stop the problem from worsening
and stop the counterfeit products from being sold on the market.
If it ends up affecting Tian Xi's other products...
then I won't blame it on anyone.
I'll submit my resignation...
as a way of taking full responsibility for it.
Let's go.
I know this is a special situation
and it is not an easy problem to solve.
But you must not panic.
Don't worry, CEO, we won't.
Actually...
we're very confident.
Yu Tang, you can report to the CEO.
Once we knew A-Hui had formed an alliance with other factories
to mass produce Mei Mei
we held a meeting.
We were worried that mass production might cast doubt on Mei Mei's quality
so we decided to create an anti-counterfeit verification.
An anti-counterfeit verification?
We just didn't expect that we'd have to use it so soon.
So Hui Yao and the other factories that produce Mei Mei
will use this anti-counterfeit verification.
It'll either be a tag or a serial number.
In addition, we've also designed a program.
CEO.
Our customers can go to our official website
and check if their products are genuine or not.
Since there are already counterfeit products in the market
we're planning to issue a press release on our anti-counterfeit verification.
It will show our competitors
how strong our crisis management ability is
and give our customers peace of mind.
And it will help Mei Mei regain consumer confidence.
It'll also reinforce Tian Xi's business responsibility and thoughtful image.
I'm sure it'll be a huge advantage for Tian Xi.
We're also going to include Mei Mei's brand story in our press release.
Then we can turn this incident into a positive advertising opportunity.
100.
100?
Risks can also be the best opportunities.
Sales Team C, you're amazing.
I'm sorry, CEO.
Since you said you don't want to mix personal affairs with work
I thought I'd better not tell you about this earlier.
Yu Tang, I can't believe you didn't tell the CEO.
Good for you.
We shouldn't make fun of the CEO during office hours.
Hui Xin, make sure you confirm the press release with our PR department
and distribute it so it'll appear in every newspaper tomorrow morning.
Yes, Team Leader.
Refresh man note 15.
Risks can also be the best opportunities.
The most important thing is to stay ahead of everyone else.
However...
Wait.
Can you give me three days?
I want you to wait three days before you issue your press release.
CEO, I hope you're aware
that the counterfeit incident will only get worse over those three days.
Tian Xi's stock price will continue to plummet.
So there will be a lot of pressure coming from both inside and outside our company.
I understand.
CEO, we trust you.
I'm sure you have your reasons for making such a request.
We won't do anything for now.
We'll issue the press release when you tell us to.
CEO.
- Good luck! - Thank you.
Zi Yu... sorry, I mean GM Wang.
Sorry I'm late, I've been super busy over the past few days.
- Please forgive me. - It's okay.
I know you're very busy, CEO Ji.
Since we've been working together for more than 20 years now
I don't mind waiting for you at all.
Shall we begin?
I'm sure you already know the purpose of our meeting today.
It's related to the egg shell membrane patent.
Although Tian Xi has signed a long-term working contract with Xin Wei
the contract relating to the egg shell membrane patent
is about to expire.
So I was wondering if we could find a time
to renew our contract.
Renew the contract?
I'm afraid I can't give you a definite answer right now.
CEO Ji, if you don't mind
can you give me a few days to think about it
before I get back to you?
Of course.
Actually Chairman Wang and I have already arranged a time
but your company seems to be experiencing
quite a high staff turnover rate lately.
That's why there's been a delay.
GM Wang, can you give me a definite time
for us to renew our contract?
Since we've been working together for so many years
I don't think there will be any problems with our contract renewal, right?
It's true that Tian Xi and Xin Wei have worked together for a long time.
So there shouldn't be a problem
renewing our contract.
It's just that
something happened at Tian Xi that has never happened before.
Let's forget about the problems caused by Lin's Factory's strike for now.
Mei Mei was the first product that I personally developed with Tian Xi.
I can't believe there's a counterfeit product out there.
So I'm sure you can understand why I'd be worried, right?
Of course, Tian Xi's the victim.
But Xin Wei has also been affected by it.
Our stock price also fell because of it.
If...
I mean, if a huge problem like this happens again
which adversely affects Xin Wei
shouldn't we clearly state all the compensation arrangements in the contract
in order to protect Xin Wei's rights?
I totally understand what you mean, GM Wang.
I'd be more than happy to amend the contents of our contract.
But I really hope
that you can try to draft the amendments as soon as you can
so that we can renew our contract by the end of the month.
Sure, it will definitely be my first priority.
However...
since I've only recently been promoted to General Manager...
I'm quite busy.
I might have to ask you to be a bit patient with me, CEO Ji.
- Please come in. - Excuse me.
Yu Tang, what are you doing here?
Zi Yu?
Sorry, I didn't know Ji Wen Kai was having a meeting with you.
Since he said he didn't really like the food at dinner
he asked me to buy him something to eat.
Here's a fried rice omelet with double egg and cheese.
Thank you.
If you'd told me that Zi Yu was here
I would have brought him something as well.
Double egg and cheese?
I thought you said you didn't eat eggs.
Well...
There's a reason for it.
That's why I made this special fried rice omelet for him.
- Please come in. - CEO.
Ai Sha?
I thought I told you to go home
if you had finished your work for today.
Sorry, it took me a while to finish my work.
This...
is the compensation request letter that we'll send out to Lin's Factory.
Please let me know if you'd like to make any amendments.
Ai Sha, this can wait until tomorrow morning.
Why don't you go home now?
I guess we've already said all there is to say.
So I'll leave you guys to it.
Let's go home and eat this fried rice omelet together.
- Come on. - Okay.
Let me save the file.
Thank you, Ai Sha.
So did your meeting go well?
It's very dangerous for a girl to walk alone at night.
I'll give you a ride.
Thank you.
Your CEO's so inconsiderate.
I thought he would have waited for you and given you a ride home.
I want to ask you something. I hope you won't be offended.
After all that you've done for Ji Wen Kai
do you really think
he's being fair to you by treating you like this?
I really like this bracelet.
I really hope I can keep wearing it.
If you like it
then just keep it on.
It really suits you.
It really broke my heart when I saw that.
To be honest...
if I were your boss
I'd never treat you like this.
[Tian Xi Group's Stock Price Continues to Plummet]
[Taking Down Xin Wei with It]
[Tian Xi Group's Stock Price Continues to Plummet]
GM, I'd like to tell you something.
It's about the factory that's making the counterfeit product.
I heard Ji Wen Kai is starting to investigate.
So I've asked the boss to close down his factory to avoid trouble.
Well done.
Thank you, GM.
GM, can I ask you something?
Although the counterfeit incident has tanked Tian Xi's stock price
it's also affected Xin Wei's stock price.
Aren't you worried at all?
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
No matter what you try to achieve
you must make a sacrifice before you get rewarded.
This time...
Tian Xi's taken a much harder blow than we have.
So I think it was a really worthwhile gamble.
Yes, I totally agree, GM.
No pain, no gain.
Some of these comments are so nasty.
They said Zhong Yu Tang is a living Cinderella.
They even said the two of them are turning Tian Xi into the Titanic
because it's about to crash into an iceberg.
This one's even better.
It says the CEO's willing to give up his career
for the love of his life.
They must have overestimated Zhong Yu Tang.
Goodness knows how she managed to seduce the CEO.
Now he's totally mesmerized by her.
- That's why there's a counterfeit. - Exactly.
You should go and work at a publishing company if you like making up stories.
Have you finished your work?
A-Hui found the source of the counterfeit.
But that factory already closed down.
Then we'll have to find the person in charge before we take the next step.
[Zhong Yu Tang, the living Cinderella!]
- What's wrong? - Nothing.
What should we do? Tian Xi's stock has almost reached its lowest price.
Should we really keep waiting?
Yes, I'm sure the CEO has his reasons.
We should trust him.
I trust him, it's just one more day.
Our stock price will bounce back when we issue our press release tomorrow.
It's Jia Yin.
Jia Yin, everyone's here.
- Go on. - Hello, everyone.
I heard there's a problem with Mei Mei.
I'm sure it's been very difficult for all of you.
Sorry I can't be there for you right now.
That's why I thought I'd call and cheer you guys on.
I trust the CEO's decision so make sure you all hang in there.
Thank you, Jia Yin.
Don't worry, we'll definitely stick together and get through this.
That's great, once everything gets on track here in Singapore
I'll fly back and join you in your battle.
- Go team! - Go team!
CEO, it's already been three days.
Have you worked out a strategy to solve the current crisis?
Everyone at Tian Xi is looking to you.
Stop asking me.
I can't give you an answer right now.
I've got plans for tonight
so you'll have to stay here and work alone tonight.
Hi, Yu Tang.
Of course I remember, we're going to a movie tonight.
Okay, I'll be there on time.
I'm about to leave.
One last thing.
Would you like me to go through the information for you again?
Okay, here you go.
You can do it tomorrow.
Remember, be very careful.
Make sure you don't let anyone know about this.
Otherwise I'll be in deep trouble.
- Please keep it in a safe place. - I will.
What's wrong? Didn't you like the movie?
Yes, it was good.
Then why do you look so upset?
What makes you say that?
I haven't seen you smile at all tonight.
You haven't smiled much tonight either.
Really?
I've actually been a little distracted.
Because I'm worried that someone
might be stalking us again.
But since it's already out in the open I shouldn't be so concerned.
Also, if this hadn't happened...
I wouldn't have realized
just how protective you are of me.
What do you mean?
Ai Sha told me
when other colleagues questioned our professionalism
after they found out that we were dating
you didn't hesitate to admit our relationship
and responded to their verbal attack
in a very mature and rational way.
I just feel that
we shouldn't have to be so secretive with our relationship.
Even if other people find out about it
I don't mind at all.
That's true.
Tian Xi's stock price has been plummeting over the past few days.
So a lot of colleagues have been blaming it on our relationship
and giving us weird looks.
But to be honest
what does our stock price
have to do with our relationship?
If we keep hiding it from them
it'll make them think I've done something wrong.
I should be just like you.
Since I didn't do anything wrong
no matter what they say about us
we should just enjoy being with one another.
I can tell that you're really upset.
It's okay if you don't want to talk about it.
I just want to let you know
that I'll always be here for you.
Thank you.
Come here.
Remember what you promised me?
Of course.
You said
the thing you're most afraid of is saying goodbye.
So...
make sure you don't leave me.
I won't.
But what if...
you decide to leave me instead?
How would that be possible?
We've come a long way
after all that we've been through together.
I have total trust in you when it comes to work
and so does Sales Team C.
We'll definitely support you.
So I really can't think of anything
that could separate the two of us.
I really admire you.
Why?
Even though you're faced with so many problems
you still manage to remain so calm and in control.
You even asked me out for a movie tonight.
That's because once I know what the problem is
I go through all the possible solutions.
After I do that
I'm not worried anymore.
So, have you finished your homework yet?
All right.
It's time to take you home.
Let's go.
I don't think you've ever handed in your homework late before.
Why have you become so lazy now?
I've been trying very hard to put together the puzzle.
That's weird.
Why don't I see any flower buds?
Am I doing something wrong?
Are you home yet?
The guy who sold us the plant must have been a fraud.
I don't think the roses will ever bloom.
Gardening is just like a relationship.
If you want it to bloom, taking care of it is not enough
patience is also very important.
Patience?
- Come on... - Nancy...
Morning, can I look at today's newspaper?
- Let's see if it's there. - Can you see it?
Here it is, the article on New Mei Mei.
"In order to overcome counterfeit products"
"consumers have commented on"
"Tian Xi's anti-counterfeit verification strategy."
Listen to this, "Tian Xi establishes an anti-counterfeit mechanism"
"to get rid of all counterfeit products."
"Mei Mei beauty soap adds anti-counterfeit laser tag"
"to fight against fraudulent sellers"
"and protect their customers."
That's great, they're all positive comments.
That means Mei Mei has overcome its counterfeit crisis.
This will definitely improve Tian Xi's corporate image.
Yeah, I'm sure our stock price will bounce back.
We've finally made it.
I hope the CEO can also achieve his target.
- Sales Team C. - Go team!
GM... have you seen today's newspaper?
This is really bad, Tian Xi--
I already know.
The stock market has also responded to it.
Both Tian Xi and Xin Wei's stock prices are on the rise again.
I never thought Ji Wen Kai would come up with such a trick.
He's certainly a very strong competitor.
No wonder Chairman Shen invited him all the way from the States.
GM, so what should we do now?
The game is just about to start.
Even if he can solve this problem
he won't be able to control the situation in the future.
We're keeping a close eye on his every move.
In no time at all
he won't even know what hit him.
Make sure you're prepared to take action at any time.
Because once we get the key evidence...
we'll have to launch our attack.
You're here.
Did I come at a bad time?
You picked the worst time.
I'm putting on my moisturizer so I can't let you in.
It's okay.
I know that beautiful women always take good care of their skin.
Give me a minute.
Here's the information that you want.
Thank you.
I really didn't expect
that you'd turn on Ji Wen Kai.
If a woman can do anything for love
then she can also do anything for hatred.
You know what?
I have a double Masters degree in psychology and business management.
So I thought I could analyze and understand every person's mind.
But when it comes to you--
You don't understand women.
Okay.
I've always been really curious about something
but I never had a chance to ask you.
What is it?
Of all the skincare products produced by Tian Xi
why did you choose Mei Mei as your target?
You mean the counterfeit incident?
Mei Mei was the only project that I've been involved with from start to finish.
I understood every little detail.
So when something suddenly went wrong with it
I was able voice it.
So when Kelvin wanted to renew the patent contract with you
you could use the counterfeit product as your excuse
to delay him, right?
You certainly planned out every last detail.
You're very smart.
But of course, there were also other considerations.
All of Tian Xi's signature skincare products are very expensive.
Except for Mei Mei, which has a low manufacturing cost
so it was much easier to produce a counterfeit.
So when you suggested developing New Mei Mei
to Yu Tang and Sales Team C
did you already have this plot in mind?
I might not understand women
but you don't really understand me either.
I truly liked Yu Tang.
I really did want to help her.
That's why I agreed to add egg shell membrane into New Mei Mei.
However...
the fact that I want to have Tian Xi and Yu Tang is not a conflict of interest.
It just so happens that I want to have both.
Looks like...
I'm beginning to understand you more now.
Let me tell you something else about myself.
I always remember the people who help me.
If you come and work at Xin Wei I'll definitely recognize your talent.
Just tell me when you're ready.
- You should get some rest. - Goodnight.
- The new factory's great. - Yeah, it's so clean and tidy.
- All of the equipment is new. - Yeah.
Did you see how enthusiastic the workers were?
I'm sure New Mei Mei will have a new sense of vibrancy.
Come and have a look at this.
This is New Mei Mei's anti-counterfeit tag.
Now every box of Mei Mei will have this 3D laser anti-counterfeit tag.
This way our customers will be able to tell whether it's genuine or not.
- Let's get rid of all the fake products. - Go team!
- Don't break it. - Hang on to it.
- Sorry. - It looks really nice.
Here comes the CEO.
So what do you think of our factory?
- Boss Hui is the best. - He's amazing.
Thank you.
The CEO deserves all the credit.
Without A-Kai's support
we wouldn't have been able to expand our factory.
Now let us show you our professionalism.
You shouldn't have to worry about Mei Mei being out of stock anymore.
Not just Mei Mei.
Now that we have such a huge and well-equipped factory
perhaps we can let Hui Yao handle
all of Tian Xi's products in the future.
Is that what the CEO thinks as well?
I'm planning to use our own factory
to produce all of Tian Xi's products from now on.
If we have our own production line
we'll have better quality control.
This will prevent inconsistency in our product quality.
So it'll be a win-win situation for both Tian Xi and our customers.
That's my reason for working with Hui Yao.
That means from now on
Hui Yao Factory will be owned and operated by Tian Xi.
So Boss Hui will become part of our team, right?
Thank you for treating me as part of your team.
CEO, you're amazing.
We never know what your plan is until after the problem's solved.
Sales Team C is so lucky to have a son-in-law like you.
Hi, Wendy, what's the matter?
Okay.
CEO, a few directors have called for an urgent meeting.
They want us to go back right now.
We must clarify this.
It's quite a surprise to see GM Wang
at Tian Xi's internal meeting.
I'm sorry, CEO Ji.
Xin Wei's been buying quite a lot of Tian Xi's stock over the past few years.
So we've become one of Tian Xi's largest shareholders.
I think I definitely have the right to sit in on this meeting.
Of course.
That means Xin Wei still supports
and has a lot of trust in Tian Xi.
We're really happy to have you here today, GM Wang.
Let's just get on with our meeting.
The reason for today's urgent meeting
is the information that you have in front of you.
An internal employee has claimed
that CEO Ji's accounts are a total mess.
This report provided by the finance department
shows that recently Tian Xi has incurred
450 million dollars in bad debts for no particular reason.
It just so happens
that those funds were approved by CEO Ji.
Can you please explain to everyone
what that is all about?
That's right, Wen Kai.
450 million is not a small amount.
I can't take this anymore.
You'd better tell us where that money went.
- You must explain to us. - That's right...
Okay, everyone, don't worry.
I invested that money in Tian Xi's very own factory.
As you all know
recently Lin's Factory got into a bit of trouble due to their family feud.
I actually heard about it a while ago.
So in order to avoid being affected by it
I decided to establish a factory that's owned and operated by Tian Xi.
[Property Sale Contract]
Okay, it's ready to be sealed.
The elder son of Lin's Factory has just come back from overseas
to fight over their family inheritance with Mr. Lin.
The problem that you predicted is already starting.
How's everything going with Boss Hui?
He wants us to give him another two days.
Ai Sha is now passing out a copy of our new factory's contract and information.
You're very welcome to take a look at it.
Tian Xi's already bought the production rights from Hui Yao.
So from now on
we'll be using our own production line to manufacture our products.
I hope you're happy with my arrangement.
I see.
No wonder Chairman Shen always says
we can leave everything in Wen Kai's capable hands.
GM Wang, there's nothing to worry about now.
That's an incredible plan.
I really admire it.
But my information tells me...
that it only cost 150 million to expand Hui Yao Factory.
So what happened to the rest of the 300 million?
That's an incredible plan.
I really admire it.
But my information tells me...
that it only cost 150 million to expand Hui Yao Factory.
So what happened to the rest of the 300 million?
You didn't buy another factory, did you?
300 million can't just disappear for no reason.
I think you'd better give us all an explanation.
- That's right, what's your explanation? - 300 million?
Yeah, what's going on?
Where did the 300 million go?
Say something.
Everyone.
If...
you really want me to explain where the 300 million has gone...
can we please wait until Chairman Shen gets back?
I'm sure you'll understand then.
Do we really have to wait for Chairman Shen?
- Can't you tell us now? - Exactly.
Ji Wen Kai, what have you done?
What is it that you're hiding from us?
Listen, everyone.
Since CEO Ji insists on waiting for Chairman Shen before he can tell us...
then let's give him a bit of time.
But I'm sure you'll all agree
that until Chairman Shen gets back
the finance department must not approve any more fund allocations for CEO Ji.
Unless he's willing to prove his innocence to us sooner.
Sorry, everyone.
But I must wait until Chairman Shen gets back.
You can insist if you want.
But I think you'd better be prepared.
Because if you're unable to give us an explanation then
I'm sure every single employee at Tian Xi
will be coming after you.
Dad, it's all good on my end.
It went quite well.
Just when I thought Ji Wen Kai was going to get away with it
I got some insider information
which helped me strike a huge blow.
Don't worry, I'll keep you posted.
Bye.
Thanks for today.
The timing was perfect.
It certainly helped me hit Ji Wen Kai with a surprise attack.
GM Wang, there's nothing to worry about now.
I think the best part is yet to come, right?
To be honest with you
at first I was worried that you'd feel sorry for him.
But when I got your message
I knew for sure that you've totally given up on Ji Wen Kai.
Like I said, you don't understand women.
Lucky I've never come against a woman who's as smart as you are.
I just want to remind you
that Ji Wen Kai's a very careful observer.
If I keep working for him
he'll probably know what I've been up to very soon.
I understand.
Xin Wei's doors have long been open to you.
- You're welcome to walk in any time. - Thank you.
- The office feels really weird lately. - Haven't you heard?
The board of directors held an urgent meeting yesterday
and asked for our financial information.
They said our CEO has embezzled--
Zhong Yu Tang's here.
Please come in.
CEO, I've got bad news.
What's wrong?
Both Sales Teams A and B have submitted their resignations.
For some reason, Wendy's also resigned.
Also...
Ji Wen Kai will be in such a panic
when he finds out about this.
Not only has he lost his most elite staff
but he's also lost the partner whom he trusted the most.
Also...
Head Secretary Miao has also...
To our new era.
Now we're all here.
Welcome to Xin Wei.
- Cheers. - Cheers...
GM Wang.
If you can convince our head secretary, Ai Sha, to work for you
is there anything that you can't do?
A clever soldier
chooses a shrewd general to fight for.
A smart soldier will also choose to fight for a competent general.
Just like a smart bird will choose to nest on a healthy tree.
Considering how Ji Wen Kai treated me
of course I'd choose to leave.
Ai Sha, don't worry.
Xin Wei will be your second home.
You'll receive all the respect that you deserve here.
You'll be the most honorable head secretary.
- I look forward to working with you. - Not a problem.
Without Ai Sha, Ji Wen Kai is now crippled.
The only person he can go to will be that useless Zhong Yu Tang.
She's just like an artificial limb.
What makes you think she's an artificial limb?
It was because of Yu Tang's hard work
that she was able to sign that contract with Yours
and promote New Mei Mei's sales.
Whereas you're always so arrogant and inefficient.
You'd better not treat Xin Wei as your comfort zone.
I'll still ask GM Wang to fire you if you don't get your act together.
Wendy.
You certainly still have a lot of room for improvement.
Ai Sha.
Please do your best to teach her.
I'm sure she'll improve under your guidance.
Come on, today's a day worth celebrating.
Let's take it easy and enjoy a few drinks.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Please come in.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I've never been better.
I was going to ask if you wanted to go for a coffee. Let's go.
Stop joking.
Sales Teams A and B have resigned
so you only have a few salespeople left.
Even Ai Sha has...
"Hui Xin, You Rui, Meng He"
"Liang Yu, Jia Yin?"
Are you wondering why they're all people from Sales Team C?
Even before you were transferred to Sales Team C
the CEO already had a plan in place.
If this is...
Wang Zi Yu...
Is that Ai Sha next to him?
Sit down, I want to tell you a story.
Do you remember
where Wang Zi Yu went when he was trying to convince Chairman Wang
to work with New Mei Mei?
Russia.
Before you received Wang Zi Yu's message
I actually got this message.
Sorry to disturb you so late at night.
I just got a message from Mr. Tarkovsky.
He wants to know if you'll also be going to Russia tomorrow.
If I'll "also" be going to Russia tomorrow?
It's probably just a coincidence.
The reason Wang Zi Yu went to Russia was because his parents were there.
What does that have to do with Mr. Tarkovsky?
But why did Mr. Tarkovsky say...
"also"?
It's probably just a coincidence.
The reason Wang Zi Yu went to Russia was because his parents were there.
What does that have to do with Mr. Tarkovsky?
But why did Mr. Tarkovsky say...
"also"?
That's the point.
It's Zi Yu.
He said Chairman Wang has already left for Russia with his wife.
So he'll fly over and try to convince his dad to work with Mei Mei.
I think Chairman Wang is really...
unpredictable.
You can't really read his mind at all.
Do you think Zi Yu will have a chance of convincing him?
[Hurry up, you won't have any time to shop]
[when the other managers get here tonight.]
Unlike Bali or Tokyo
it takes more than 10 hours to fly to Russia.
But it just so happened that Jia Zhong Xian and Wendy were both there.
That's why I investigated.
CEO, this is the staff attendance record that you requested.
[Jia Zhong Xian (5/12 - 5/18) Wendy (5/12 - 5/18)]
Hurry up, you won't have any time to shop
when the other managers get here tonight.
You mean...
this is all part of Wang Zi Yu's plan?
Mr. Tarkovsky said
even though he already made his position very clear to Chairman Wang
after Wang Zi Yu became the General Manager
he kept calling him
and expressing his desire to work with Mr. Tarkovsky.
Wang Zi Yu's certainly much more ambitious than his dad.
I'm not surprised
by his action at all.
But Mr. Tarkovsky's reassured us
that he'd never betray Tian Xi so we don't have anything to worry about.
Judging from the current situation
anything can change on a dime.
So we must be well-prepared.
GM Liao
had a retirement party last week.
In addition to GM Liao
other senior managers, who are his age, are also retiring?
I didn't know Wang Zi Yu was such a greedy person.
The current situation's certainly not in my favor.
But don't worry.
I'll definitely take care of it.
I've always trusted you.
I'll certainly be here to support you.
But what makes me really upset
is Ai Sha.
I really can't imagine why she'd betray you.
Don't worry.
Ai Sha's always been a very smart and independent girl.
I'm sure she'll do very well no matter where she goes.
Sure, let's keep in touch, bye.
For case, I think we can change this thing here.
Sales Team C, let's gather around for our meeting.
Okay.
You Rui, can you go--
Long time no see, everyone.
What are you doing here?
I'm here to visit my old colleagues
and to remind you to start looking for another job.
No, thanks.
You'd better take extra care when walking on the street.
Traitors like you can easily turn into mice on the street.
Everyone will be chasing after you then.
I can understand that you're jealous
because we've moved on to a better company.
So why aren't you jealous of Zhong Yu Tang
who moved on... to the CEO's bed?
Jia Zhong Xian, you'd better watch your words.
Team Leader.
He's just a barking dog, just ignore him.
Zhong Yu Tang.
We'll soon become a family
so you shouldn't insult me.
Who'd want to become your family?
The reason we came with GM Wang today
is because we're about to merge with Tian Xi.
So we'll be seeing each other again real soon.
Oops.
Xin Wei doesn't recycle waste products.
Sorry for the interruption.
Come on, let's go.
Are you surprised, CEO?
I don't think you know much about your company.
Did you know that for the past year
Xin Wei has been purchasing over 30 percent of Tian Xi's shares?
That means after we officially merge
there will be a change in the leading company in the skincare industry.
But don't worry, Ji Wen Kai.
I'll definitely look after Tian Xi
as if it were my own child.
Tian Xi will do much better than when it was under your management.
So...
in order to make this a bit easier for the both of us
I suggest you pay back the 300 million
and then...
leave the company.
I suggest you pay back the 300 million
and then...
leave the company.
I've already prepared the contract to be signed by Chairman Shen.
Ji Wen Kai.
You might be very smart but you won't get away with it this time.
So you'd better stop what you're doing and take this opportunity
to say goodbye to your office.
By the way...
I remember you once told me
to bring it on because you love challenges.
I love challenges.
So bring it on.
Are you sure you're up for it, Ji Wen Kai?
I'll definitely win this round.
So is this the plan that you've got?
Ji Wen Kai, I hope you realize
that the winner's already been decided.
So it won't be long until these people
join my team.
Goodbye.
I couldn't find you anywhere.
You didn't pick up your phone either.
You gave me a real scare.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to make you worry.
I heard that Xin Wei wants to merge with Tian Xi.
Is that true?
I'm sure Wang Zi Yu already had it planned out a long time ago.
What are you going to do about it?
I can only take one step at a time.
Are you okay?
You shouldn't keep everything to yourself.
Just let me know if you need my help.
You were always there to help me and look after me.
So I really hope I can help you too.
I thought you promised not to worry about me.
Ji Wen Kai, don't pretend to be tough.
I know you must be under a lot of pressure
after everything that's happened.
You don't have to deal with this alone.
What if...
I come back and be your assistant again?
We can deal with all this together.
Although I'm not sure if it's the right decision or not...
I'm sure I can do it.
I can fight this battle with you.
Stop saying that you don't want to mix personal affairs with work.
The two of us should help one another
whether it's a personal or work problem, right?
- What if I say no? - You can't.
- Why not? - Because you don't have a choice.
You'll just have to accept my HR arrangement.
Are you sure?
All right.
I now officially announce
that Zhong Yu Tang
will be transferred from Sales Team C back to the secretary's office
as the head secretary.
But let me make it clear, there's a three month probationary period.
If I'm not happy with you then I'll kick you back to Sales Team C.
Don't worry.
I definitely won't let you kick me back again.
CEO, count us in.
The entire Sales Team C will back you up.
On the day that Mama Zhong passed away...
Do you want to know why she insisted on buying those fresh eggs herself?
Because she wanted to make a special fried rice omelet for you.
You already knew?
You must be really curious as to why Ai Sha's on my side.
Compared to Ji Wen Kai, I'm a much better working partner.
I hope you can join our team.
Ai Sha, do you think it's the right decision?
Did you know a lot of companies want to terminate their contracts with Tian Xi?
If you really care about Ji Wen Kai
what can you do to help him?
Tian Xi needs you, I wish you guys all the best.
Can you spend tomorrow with me?
