[Refresh Man]
Episode 16
There are counterfeit Mei Mei products.
- What are you going to do about it? - Mei Mei's just been put on the market.
- Anti-counterfeit verification? - Every bar of soap
produced by Hui Yao will have this logo on its packaging.
Make sure you confirm our press release with the PR department.
I want to see it in every newspaper tomorrow.
Wait, can you give me three days?
Tian Xi's stock price is plummeting.
The CEO must have his reasons for doing this. We should trust him.
- Make sure you don't leave me. - What if you leave me instead?
Based on this report from the financial department
Tian Xi incurred a bad debt of 450 million dollars.
It only cost 150 million to expand Hui Yao.
What happened to the rest of the 300 million?
The truth will be out once Chairman Shen gets back.
Bad news, both Sales Teams A and B have resigned.
Our head secretary has also...
We've come with GM Wang today to merge with Tian Xi.
You better pay back the 300 million and leave the company.
I never thought Wang Zi Yu was that greedy.
I'll come back and be your assistant.
I definitely won't let you kick me back to Sales Team C.
CEO, count us in.
You have the entire Sales Team C as your backup.
We believe you're innocent.
You didn't tell us that you'd found Hui Yao to help us
but you always have your reasons.
Even though Sales Teams A and B have left
Sales Team C will definitely support Tian Xi.
You've always been there to help us.
Now it's our turn to support you.
Exactly, we will support you.
Really?
Don't you think I'm very mean because I kept picking on your team?
Yeah, you are very mean.
That's your strategy.
Even though you're mean, we know it's for our own good.
That's right, if it weren't for you
we would have just treated ourselves as waste.
CEO, I'm serious.
Throughout my entire career, I've never met a manager like you
who is so encouraging and trusting of us.
You've helped us make use of our own talents.
We wouldn't be who we are today without you.
We'll definitely express our gratitude through our support and actions.
- CEO. - Let's do it!
- Manager Yan, please have a seat. - Have a seat.
We spoke on the phone.
I'm Shen You Rui from Tian Xi's Sales Team C, nice to meet you.
Chief Jiang, I'm Meng He from Tian Xi's Sales Team C.
- Nice to meet you. - Hello, Team Leader Meng.
I've heard about Tian Xi's recent personnel changes.
Don't worry, Chief Jiang, those changes won't affect our product supply at all.
That's why I've come to see you today.
I'm also a user of our late-night cream.
In order to promote a product
we try to learn as much as possible about it
and let it become a part of our everyday lives.
That's the secret to its success.
Even though I'm a guy
I always try out our new products
and write reviews about them.
So don't worry, Manager Sun.
You can put your trust in us.
Sales Team C has now taken over all of Tian Xi's signature products
including the egg shell membrane mask.
Chairman Zhuang, from now on, I'll leave Chun He Department Store
in Sales Team C's hands.
Don't worry, as long as they're Tian Xi employees
be it Sales Team A, B, or C
I'm sure we'll work really well together.
That's great, Manager Yan. It's a deal.
I hope you won't find me annoying when I call you all the time.
Not at all, you're very welcome to do so.
Thank you.
By the way, Manager Yan, I want to ask you a small favor.
I hope you can make my dream come true.
Can I take a selfie with you?
Ready?
Manager Yan said he rarely sees salespeople who are as sincere as we are.
P.S. He's the very first male client that I've ever closed a deal with.
But he won't be the last. Let's keep up the good work.
- Team Leader Meng. - Yes.
Although you've just taken over Sales Team A's role
I'm sure you know a lot more about Tian Xi's products than they did.
You're a very professional salesperson.
I've already spoken to my boss.
He's agreed to continue working with Sales Team C.
Thank you, Chief Jiang.
You have a one o'clock meeting with GM Wang regarding possible future projects.
You're meeting Manager Lai from Tian Zhan Bank at three o'clock
- regarding Tian Xi's loan increase-- - You're still working?
I appreciate the fact that you want to work for the company
right up to the final minute.
But I strongly suggest that you focus on how to get yourself out of trouble.
Yu Tang, did you go back to being an assistant?
It's my pleasure to be able to do something for my CEO.
That's good.
It'll help stimulate my morale
and remind me to hurry up and become your boss.
Wang Zi Yu.
Let's go.
Do you want some lavender tea?
It'll help you relax.
Thank you.
It's really late, do you want to go home?
I know you have a lot on your mind right now.
I might not be able to help you
but I just want to tell you that...
when you finally feel like talking about it
I'll be here for you.
Why?
Do I look like I'm in a bad mood?
Look at the frown on your face.
You don't look cute at all.
What about you?
You're just the same.
How could I possibly be happy when you're so upset?
I really don't want you to be affected by my bad mood.
Why don't I take you home?
Why are you rushing to take me home?
I want to spend time with you.
Okay.
If you really want to know what's on my mind...
there's something...
that's been troubling me for a long time.
But I haven't told you about it.
The reason I haven't told you is because
I'm worried that if I tell you...
you might get really upset.
It's okay.
No matter what you say today
I'm here to listen.
Well...
the day that Mama Zhong passed away...
Do you know why
she insisted on buying those fresh eggs herself?
It was because...
Because...
she wanted to make a special fried rice omelet for you.
- You already knew? - Yeah.
Since she said eggs from a specific shop
I knew right away.
I'm sorry.
My mom died because she was sick.
Even if she hadn't gone to buy those eggs...
she still would have left.
It's true that I miss her a lot.
I didn't want her to leave this world at all.
But that's because I just couldn't let go of the past.
It's not your fault.
You shouldn't blame yourself.
It's my fault.
I shouldn't dwell in sorrows from my past
and make you feel so bad about it.
We can't change what happened in the past.
All we can do is bury it in our hearts
and treasure it.
But we should still look ahead of us
and live a happy life.
Otherwise it'll definitely break my mom's heart
if she looks down on us from heaven.
Zhong Yu Tang.
I'm much more mature now, right?
You've really grown up a lot.
Unlike me.
Even though I promised Mama Zhong I'd take care of you
you're actually worrying about me instead.
What are you talking about?
You're doing a great job.
I'm sure the past 10 years
must have been really difficult for you.
With your knowledge and experience
I'm sure you'll be able to get through this.
You promised my mom that you'd take care of me, right?
So you have to get your act together
and be strong.
Then you'll be able to be
the strongest shoulder for me.
Thank you.
Dad? Yu Han?
Morning.
Morning, darling.
I've gone to a coffee art class with Yu Han.
We haven't seen you smile for a while.
I hope my fried rice omelet can cheer you up.
Good luck.
Okay, Dad.
Don't worry.
I'll definitely do my best.
Yu Tang, morning.
Do you have time to talk?
I don't have anything to say to you.
What if it has something to do with Ji Wen Kai?
I knew that would get your attention.
You must be really concerned about his ability to stay at Tian Xi...
and to remain the CEO.
What are you trying to say?
I don't want to take up your work time.
I'll pick you up after work.
I guess I don't need to introduce you, right?
Ai Sha?
Please have a seat.
You must be really curious why Ai Sha is on my side, right?
The reason is simple.
Compared to Ji Wen Kai
I'm a much better working partner.
Now...
I'm going to invite you once again...
to join us.
You said...
you wanted to talk to me about Ji Wen Kai.
If all you want to do is ask me to work for you
then I'm not interested at all.
What if those two matters are the connected?
Connected?
What do you mean?
It's inevitable that Xin Wei will merge with Tian Xi.
Once the merger takes place
Xin Wei will take control of Tian Xi.
What do you think is the first thing that I should do?
Ji Wen Kai has stolen 300 million dollars.
So?
Now I'll give you an opportunity
to make life a lot easier for Ji Wen Kai.
If you leave Tian Xi
leave Ji Wen Kai...
and come to me
then perhaps I'll let him off the hook.
Hang on, let me get this straight.
So what you're trying to say is that you're using Ji Wen Kai...
to threaten me?
You still don't get it, do you?
I'm not threatening you.
I'm just giving you a choice.
A choice that will benefit all of us.
Before I came here today
I still had a tiny bit of respect for you.
Corporate merges and headhunting is very common after all.
So it's understandable that you might choose to get a little tricky.
But I can't believe you're actually using Ji Wen Kai's future
to threaten my feelings for you.
That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
Listen.
From now on, we're no longer friends.
I'm serious about you.
I can give you everything
that Ji Wen Kai can give you...
or even more.
You really don't get it.
You don't understand at all.
Love and happiness
can never be forced.
I know.
That's why all I'm asking for is a chance.
As long as you give me a chance
then I guarantee you
that I'll do my best to make you happy for the rest of your life.
That's impossible.
Because in my heart
there's only Ji Wen Kai.
Since all you ever talk about is Ji Wen Kai...
Tell me.
What about that 300 million dollars?
That kind of money doesn't just disappear.
Did your Ji Wen Kai tell you
where the money went?
Whether he told me or not
I don't care where the money went.
Because I trust him completely.
Love certainly is blind.
Yu Tang.
Don't you think Ji Wen Kai
is taking advantage of your trust in him?
Think about it.
Ever since he came to Tian Xi
how many things has he hidden from you?
Ai Sha.
I thought you told me
that everything he did was for my own good.
Maybe.
But to be honest
for the many years that I've worked for him
I dedicated myself to my job.
So he should have trusted me.
But I later discovered
that no matter how much I wanted to help him solve his problems
he was never able to stop being defensive
and tell me what he was planning.
I trusted him.
But he didn't treat me with the same integrity.
So as time went on
I became very disappointed with those interactions.
If you were in my shoes
would you accept it?
I think...
you'll probably want to stay with him.
But let me remind you
300 million is not a small figure.
If he's not able to give everyone a reasonable explanation
I'm worried that even your future will be ruined by it.
Yu Tang.
I hope you will think about what I just said.
Wang Zi Yu.
I have nothing more to say to you.
Don't you get it?
As long as you agree
to leave Tian Xi as well as Ji Wen Kai...
then I might give him a chance.
I'll keep my promise.
It's okay, we still have time.
You can think about it.
- I'll take you home. - It's okay.
I want to talk to Ai Sha alone.
I'll wait for your answer.
What's the matter?
Ai Sha.
Have you ever thought about
whether or not this is the right decision?
Yes.
Okay, I just find it really hard to believe.
I always thought that you knew Ji Wen Kai much better than I did.
So you should know what a righteous person he is.
My decision
had nothing to do with the kind of person that Ji Wen Kai is.
Since I already decided to join Xin Wei
there's no turning back.
That's it?
You're not the Ai Sha that I used to know.
Are you sure you really knew me?
I guess not.
Since I haven't known you for very long
what makes me think that we're good friends?
That's okay.
Thanks for answering my question.
I wish you the best.
Yu Tang.
If you really care about Ji Wen Kai
why don't you think about what you can do to help him?
Are you willing to sacrifice for him?
Think about it.
Once you make up your mind
you'll be responsible for your decision
and never look back.
Ai Sha wants me to leave Ji Wen Kai.
Is that really the only way I can help him?
I just closed a deal with a huge client in Singapore.
So things are looking quite settled over here.
I'm ready to come back.
See you all tomorrow.
That's great, I... we can't wait to see you.
Don't forget our souvenirs, just kidding.
- Love you. - Welcome back.
What? Even Team Leader can type faster than me.
Jia Yin, I'm so glad you're coming back.
I wish I could give you a big hug right now.
Make sure you come to the secretary's office if I'm not with Sales Team C.
[Tian Xi] - Okay, thanks.
Perhaps we should push back the time.
Otherwise we might not make it.
Hi, everyone, I'm back.
- Jia Yin. - You're finally back.
I thought you were coming back this afternoon.
Why didn't you tell me?
- I could have picked you up. - That's okay.
There were seats available on an earlier flight
so I decided to change my flight.
I know you must be really busy so I thought I'd come here myself.
Jia Yin, we know you were working really hard in Singapore.
So we would have hung on if you hadn't come back.
- You shouldn't fly back and forth-- - Team Leader, don't say that.
The entire Sales Team C must stick together right now.
If it wasn't for the CEO
things wouldn't have gone so well for me in Singapore.
That's why I must come back and help him now that he's in trouble.
But what about your baby?
He's still too young to fly around with me.
So I've asked Shi Qiang to look after him for me.
Does that mean your relationship has improved?
Let's put it this way.
He's now a very responsible father.
He's shifted his focus to looking after our baby
so we're now a lot more considerate of each other.
That's why we get along better now.
I brought you guys some souvenirs from Singapore.
- Share them. - Thank you...
I've also got something for Yu Tang.
Hui Xin, can you put this on my desk?
- I'll go and see Yu Tang now. - Okay.
- It's for you. - Thank you.
I'm really sorry.
I know things are really busy for Sales Team C but I can't help you guys.
Don't be silly.
If you don't stand by the CEO and help him right now
we'll all be mad at you.
What's wrong?
I'm sure things have been really difficult, right?
I'm okay.
The CEO's under a lot more pressure.
I feel like there's nothing I can do to help him.
That's not true.
As long as you're there for him
he will appreciate your emotional support.
To be honest
if only I could
I'd be more than willing to bear his sorrows for him.
I wish I could bear all the criticism
and the pressure for him.
Since he's someone who'd never ask people for help
I really don't know what I can do to help him.
Don't worry.
I'm sure he'll be able to get through this in no time.
- Really? - Of course.
When our team had problems before
we also thought we'd never be able to make it.
But our hard work and effort still solved all kinds of problems in the end.
- Thanks for comforting me. - I'm not trying to comfort you.
- Want to open your present? - Okay.
It looks really yummy.
What's this?
Shi Qiang asked me to bring this folder to the CEO for him.
Although I'm not really sure what's inside
I can tell you what I know so far.
CEO?
Amy, do you know where the CEO went?
He said he had to go out
and won't be back.
So he asked me to go home early today.
Go home early?
Ji Wen Kai!
Excuse me, have you seen the CEO?
- Sorry, I haven't. - Thank you.
I finished work early today because I want some time to myself.
You should go home and get some rest, too.
Where are you? I can come over.
Hi, Auntie Ping.
So Kai Kai still hasn't replied?
Don't worry, he's like that.
If something's troubling him
he'd want to be left alone.
So just give him some time to be alone.
Perhaps it'll help him relax.
I guess it's a good thing to let him think it over himself.
Don't worry, Auntie Ping.
I won't call or message him again today.
I'm glad you're so understanding.
He never tells anyone when he's upset about something.
I also understand the situation he's in right now.
Did you know a lot of companies
want to terminate their contracts with Tian Xi?
I'm glad you're so understanding.
He never tells anyone when he's upset about something.
I also understand the situation he's in right now.
Did you know a lot of companies
want to terminate their contracts with Tian Xi?
I know that.
But Ji Wen Kai said he'll try to explain to his clients.
So it should be okay.
That will be very difficult.
Even the directors in my company are giving me pressure.
I'm afraid we will have to terminate our contract with Tian Xi in a few days.
They're worried that Kai Kai will take all the money
and we will be affected when Tian Xi collapses.
Auntie Ping, he won't do that.
I trust him.
I'm sure he's already got a plan in mind.
I'm just worried that it might be too late.
You might not know this
but I actually watched Zi Yu grow up.
When he was young he got whatever toys he wanted.
If he couldn't get it then he'd rather break it.
He never changed his unreasonable character
even now that he's grown up.
So...
You want to know what to do, right?
Men are not the only ones who can be protectors in this world.
Women can also make sacrifices for the people we love.
I can tell that you really love him.
Think about it.
Is there anything you can do for him?
That's the most important thing and what he needs most.
Auntie Ping, I'll think about what I can do for him.
Give it some thought.
I'm sure you won't regret it.
You'll only gain courage when you look at the big picture.
Just like Wen Kai
I'm very confident in you.
I'm sure everything will change for the better between the two of you
after you get through this rough patch.
- I'm sure it will. - Good luck.
- Thank you, Auntie Ping. - I'm going, bye.
Bye.
I'm at the river.
Ji Wen Kai.
You don't have to tell me what's troubling you.
But I just want to tell you
that whenever you're upset or feel troubled
I'll always be here for you.
Just like you've always been there for me.
I know.
I always knew that.
As long as you agree
to leave Tian Xi as well as Ji Wen Kai
perhaps I'll let him off the hook.
I'll keep my promise.
If you really care about Ji Wen Kai
you should think about what you can do to help him.
Are you willing to sacrifice for him?
Men are not the only ones who can be protectors in this world.
Women can also make sacrifices for the people we love.
Give it some thought.
I'm sure you won't regret it.
How do you know I didn't go?
Ji Wen Kai.
You're not really going to stand me up, are you?
I'll keep waiting.
Maybe he's running late because he slept in or something.
Excuse me.
How much is this? Can I buy it once I've saved enough money?
It's not for sale.
Keep playing if you want that model car.
When Ji Wen Kai gets here
he'll be thrilled to see this.
Let's go to the theme park together
on the weekend after the exam results are released.
So we can only go if I get into that university?
Deal?
So what if I'm a bad student?
Also...
who would want to go to the theme park with you?
Ji Wen Kai!
I wonder if Ji Wen Kai is going to show up.
You want to take a selfie with me?
Okay.
Look.
That's such a weird smile.
What's the matter with you?
How did Ji Wen Kai...
get this photo?
Could he have been that stupid lion?
I wanted to see you so much
that I even went to the theme park on the day we were supposed to meet.
I wanted to try my luck and see if I'd see you.
But you didn't show up at all.
- How do you know I wasn't there? - You were?
Actually...
there are a lot of questions that I want to ask you.
You know what? Once you finish the puzzle
- then you can ask me. - So I have to finish the puzzle first?
It's a 500-piece puzzle.
When you finish putting together the puzzle
you'll have the answers to all of the questions
that you've just asked me.
The answers are in the puzzle?
But if you still don't get it after you finish the puzzle
I'll tell you everything then.
So he was there.
He kept his promise.
You've really grown up a lot.
Unlike me.
Even though I promised Mama Zhong that I'd look after you
you're actually worrying about me instead.
He's been trying very hard
to keep his promise to Mom.
But what about me?
What can I do for him?
Thank you for being there for me.
You'd better get some rest.
I'll go into the office a bit late tomorrow.
Don't worry.
You should go to bed too. Good night.
In order to protect me
Ji Wen Kai spent 10 years to improve himself
before he came back to me.
What about me?
Am I only here to accompany him?
We've already visited the department stores
supermarkets, and cosmetic shops
that used to be handled by Sales Teams A and B.
We've spoken with their relevant contacts.
Are you sure you can cope with the workload?
We've already set up some interviews this afternoon to recruit more people.
Your trust and dedication
have really helped me a lot.
Thank you so much.
"Do you feel lost in life?"
"Do people always look down on you?"
"We're looking for the 'Refresh Man Era of Glory.'"
That's our recruitment ad.
The reason we came up with that idea
was all because of the CEO.
If it weren't for you, I'd probably still be bargaining over a few dollars
at the market right now.
Me, too.
I'd probably still be falling asleep at work
and partying hard all night, every night.
I'd probably still be looking for the perfect girl
and dating my female colleagues every day.
I'd probably still be writing unrealistic novels.
My world would probably still be revolving around my son.
I'd just be an unambitious working mom
who came to work on time every day.
The reason we're totally different now
is all because of you.
CEO, what we're trying to do
is to pass on the beliefs and values
that we learned from you.
Yu Tang...
What about you?
Me?
I'm also very grateful for the CEO.
Because of the CEO, I was able to become part of Sales Team C.
He helped me reach beyond my comfort zone
and find my passion for my job again.
He also gave me courage to face all kinds of problems.
Those were the days
when I had the most unforgettable time in my life.
They were such busy but happy days.
I'm really glad that I actually
got to meet you guys.
Working with you has been such a pleasure.
So I hope we can stay in touch in the future
and cheer each other on.
Because you guys are amazing.
Tian Xi really needs you and I wish you all the best.
Yu Tang, how come you sound like
you mean something else?
You sound like you're leaving us.
It's true that I'm going to leave Tian Xi.
Yu Tang, how come you sound like
you mean something else?
You sound like you're leaving us.
It's true that I'm going to leave Tian Xi.
Why? What happened?
You're leaving Tian Xi?
Yu Tang, I thought you were just leaving Sales Team C
because you had to become an assistant again.
You're just leaving to get us lunch boxes, aren't you?
Yeah.
Yu Tang.
Are you absolutely sure about this?
Hang on, did I miss something?
What happened, Yu Tang?
You're not seriously going to resign, are you?
It's Wang Zi Yu, isn't it?
Did he ask you
to go and work for him?
Or did he say if you leave...
he'd make life a bit easier for me?
This is crazy.
How can this be happening?
Yu Tang, you can't give up. Don't do it.
Yeah, we'll definitely defeat Xin Wei.
I'm sure the CEO will be able to explain the 300 million dollars.
I also trust the CEO.
So I'm not going to work for Wang Zi Yu.
I'm only leaving because I don't want to cause you trouble.
I don't want you to worry about me
so that you can give it your best shot.
I don't want to give Wang Zi Yu any chance to threaten you.
Did he ask you to leave Tian Xi...
or did he want you to leave me?
I thought about it all night before I made up my mind.
Deep in my heart
I'm really grateful for you.
Ever since I saw you again...
I've gone through a lot.
Times of anger, sorrow
and things that I took for granted.
Although you didn't agree with most of them
you gave my life new meaning.
So all these things have helped me grow up a lot.
I'll never forget that.
Please don't stop me, okay?
You still don't believe me, do you?
What about you guys?
Ask yourselves honestly.
Do you really think
I'll be able to save Tian Xi?
I get it.
Although you believe that I didn't take the 300 million...
you're worried that Wang Zi Yu's trick
is so ruthless
that I might not be able to take him on.
It's okay.
No matter who stays
or who leaves...
I'll still...
be very grateful for you all.
Yu Tang, do you really think Wang Zi Yu will leave the CEO alone
if you leave Tian Xi?
I just know that
if I stay
it'll only make things worse.
If I had told Wang Zi Yu earlier that it was Ji Wen Kai that I like
instead of realizing it too late
then things would have been different.
If I stay
I'll only cause trouble for Ji Wen Kai.
Yu Tang, don't be silly.
Yu Tang.
What are you going to do now?
I don't know.
I guess
I might just take a break for now.
If there's one less eyesore for Wang Zi Yu
then he might at least give Ji Wen Kai some time to catch his breath.
Hopefully he'll figure out a way to fight back.
I understand your concern.
- But we... - We're going to miss you so much.
I always thought that
since I'd have to go back to the secretary's office
we'd eventually have to say goodbye one day.
I just didn't expect
that I'd actually be leaving Tian Xi.
All right, don't be so upset.
Even though you're leaving
like you always say...
we'll always be a family.
That's right.
Wang Zi Yu might be able to separate you and the CEO.
But he never asked you to leave us.
Yu Tang, if anything happens to the CEO
I'll let you know right away.
I'll message you right away.
Team Leader.
Everyone.
Please look after the CEO for me.
Please do your best to help him get though this crisis.
Okay?
Thank you.
Refresh man note 16.
If you're faced with a dilemma
you can choose to take a step back
and let yourself calm down
before going forward again.
I just want...
to take one more look at you.
I'm sorry.
I was the one who asked you not to leave me.
But now I'm leaving you instead.
All I want to do...
is help you.
Not only am I not able to help you at work
but I'm also a burden on you in our relationship.
Perhaps I can only make things easier for you
if I leave.
No matter what happens...
I hope you can promise me one thing.
If you're ever upset and feel like crying...
make sure you let me know.
Okay?
Can you give me one day?
I know it might sound a little willful...
but do you think
we can have tomorrow to ourselves?
Zhong Yu Tang.
Stop crying.
If you keep crying you'll become an ugly duckling.
It's your own decision.
You must stay strong.
Now go to bed.
Once you're asleep
you'll stop thinking about him.
You'll stop thinking about him once you fall asleep.
Get your act together.
You must get your act together.
Stop crying, okay?
You must look really pretty today.
Keep smiling
and leave Ji Wen Kai with the best memory.
Okay?
I finished the puzzle.
I know the answer.
You really were there.
Thank you for watching over me all this time.
Yu Tang already broke up with Ji Wen Kai and left Tian Xi.
Are you going to keep your promise?
I'll only keep my promise if she comes to Xin Wei.
The leading company in the skincare industry
is about to change.
After we sign the corporate merger contract
Tian Xi will have a new boss.
If you still can't explain the missing 300 million after we sign the contract
I'll sue you right away.
