[Beautiful Secret]
[Episode 08]
Manager!
What's the matter?
- Hi. - You!- We meet again.
Cheng Yi company's Director Guan wants to sign a twenty-year contract with us.
Think about it, help us get this contract quickly.
Manager!
You said yourself that you will do anything for our company.
You have the chance to do it now, so don't ruin it.
Meili, have a discussion with Director Guan and don't disregard him.
Director Guan, I'll leave you two to talk.
I'll go first.
Manager... manager... manager!
Did you hear your manager?
Just by collaborating with us and singing the song, you can resolve your sister's problem.
Plus,
I'll sign a contract of twenty years with your company.
You are winning twice.
Anyone with a brain would know how good you have it.
Hey, do you really need to use these backhanded methods?
It wasn't enough to use my family. Now you even use my job?
I'm securing your job.
I want to give your company a sort of feedback,
so you don't have to worry about being fired unfairly because of the recording.
It's alright to threaten me,
but you even ask my boss to help you.
This is not showing your mercy. It's digging.
I didn't know that not only were you a rebound guy,
but you're also ignoble!
Hey, Jiang Meili!
Jiang Meili, Jiang Meili!
What do you want? Stop bothering me!
You should be honored to get a proposition from me.
Alright, tell me how I can get you to agree.
Even in another life, I won't accept!
Jiang Meili, I already showed my sincerity, and you still act like this?
Alright, just tell me.
You're grimacing?
Jiang Meili!
Fine, you're testing my patience?
I will show you all of my sincerity until you accept!
♫ If you love then stop acting ♫
♫ You like what you see ♫
How annoying!
♫ Do you feel anything? ♫
♫ Your heartbeat is clearer than footsteps ♫
♫ What does it suggest? The atmosphere grows heavier ♫
Abominable!
♫ If you love then stop acting ♫
♫ Leave your cowardliness outside the door ♫
Okay, no problem, please wait a moment. I'm going to transfer your call.
Director, how can I help you?
Shasha... jie.
D- Director, you're too polite.
Just call me Shasha.
Jiang Meili, the delivery girl in charge of my deliveries.
You're pretty close with her, right?
Fairly.
I know that your friendship is pretty good.
Last time, if you hadn't told her, she wouldn't have come to the kindergarten to find me.
It's not like that Director, in fact last time..
Don't worry!
I don't have other intentions.
I just hope
you can do me a favor.
What type of favor?
Help me analyze this person called Jiang Meili.
What type of person is she?
She is the most difficult person in the world I've dealt with.
In reality, I'm really impressed. How can she have such a good relationship with you?
Does she have a problem?
She doesn't know how to use her brain
and always acts against others.
Director,
why is the Jiang Meili you know so different from the one I know?
Is that so?
Alright! Tell me then,
how can I persuade her and change her fossil-like stubborn mind?
I think that with Jiang Meili, only softness works, not aggressiveness.
So Director, if you can be less stressed..
I did.
...and add to this, a peaceful heart.
Then, say words that everyone wants to hear, sincere words that can move hearts.
I'm sure that Jiang Meili will certainly..
Director, Director!
She agreed, she agreed!
Agreed what?
Teacher Wang Xuan agreed to sing!
How do you know?
Right now in China, there are two billion people who know about it.
Today, Teacher Wang and Xu Ruolin recorded a show.
Xu Ruolin announced the comeback of Wang Xuan and the duet between her mom and her.
What did you say?
Xu Ruolin announced a duet with Wang Xuan?
Yes!
Now, the information has spread on the internet.
All the netizens are talking about it!
Director, should we make advertisements?
I can help you persuade my mom to do a duet with me.
My new album's title song will be this duet with my mom.
I'll go out for a moment
If there is any problem, wait for me to resolve it.
Director!
Strange... why does the director look unhappy?
Is it bad to see two huge stars singing together?
No, no, no, no...
In my opinion, if he acts like this, it's certainly because something's wrong.
Please wait here, she'll be here soon.
Thank you.
You're looking for me?
You wanted me to look for you, am I wrong?
You clearly knew that I hadn't yet decided the singers of my song,
but you still revealed it on television.
Did you think that you could force me to retreat by doing that?
I'm telling you, I won't be influenced!
Later, I will tell Teacher Wang that I canceled it.
I will act like I never wrote the song.
So this is why you purposely came to my house?
You should clearly tell my mom in front of me to let me know.
You're not unworthy of your nickname of Demon King at all, without any pity.
Your method of rejecting people always were this cruel!
The person being cruel is you, not me!
Don't force me to recall what happened a year ago.
I know that you want Jiang Meili to sing. But she rejected your offer.
Why are you so insistent on wanting her to sing no matter what?
Are you trying to anger me, or... do you really think I don't deserve it?
Don't link together two matters which aren't related.
Then why after producing only one album, you didn't want to be my composer anymore?
Do you want me to repeat it one more time?
That time, I refused to be your composer for your sake.
You needed a new composer to develop new flairs.
You're a good talker.
You never played my album in your car!
Even if the radio was going to play it, you would immediately change the channel!
My mother and you are the same! One's saying she wants to collaborate with me,
and the other's saying he wants new flairs!
In your heart, you just think I don't deserve it!
I went to Hollywood,
and I was left with a 2.5 second appearance.
Even the director of the advertisement didn't debate with me.
Only able to sing and not able to become stronger!
Everyone is waiting for me to become a has-been singer!
Now the only ones who are able to help me are my mother and you.
My mom won't help me.
Even you aren't going to help me?
From beginning to end, you never understood me.
You don't understand my requirement for music.
In my eyes,
there isn't compromise in music. Only perfection.
Moreover, it's not a thing used to prove love,
and it definitely isn't a way to solve people's problems.
Enough!
If you don't want to help me, don't lecture me!
You can go.
Let's think of it as punishment for what I did.
You always acted like a good mother in front of my dad,
saying that you consider me as your own daughter.
Ask yourself sincerely, did you ever see me as your own daughter?
You don't even want to sing a song with me!
Everyone is waiting for me to become a has-been singer!
Now the only ones who are able to help me are my mom and you.
My mom won't help me.
Even you aren't going to help me?
Okay, thanks.
I'm here at such a busy time. I'm probably imposing on you.
How can you? You're too polite.
That day, Ruolin told the program about the collaboration without even asking you.
I know you must be very angry. I will ask her to apologize.
I know that you didn't have anything to do with it. It was Ruolin's own decision.
If I were to say, this was also my idea...
I wish to sing that song, "Not Ready to Part Yet", with Ruolin.
I don't know if you will agree.
Teacher Wang. I have produced Ruolin's album, so I understand her voice range and ability very well.
She is not suitable for this song.
Besides, I have already found a singer who fits well with you.
Even though she may be new, she has the skills.
I really admire Director Guan's intention for discovering new talent,
but I hope that you could also understand my stance.
I rejected all engagements for the past twenty years.
I agreed to sing this song only because of Ruolin.
If Ruolin's career is as bad as she described,
then, as a mother,
I should be even more responsible and do this for her.
I understand what you mean, but you've been singing for a long time so you should understand better than anyone.
A song must meet a suitable owner to bring out the best results.
I ask you to at least listen to her sing.
I think there is no need.
If you really insist on not letting Ruolin sing,
then our discussion ends here.
Teacher Wang!
I promise that I will give Ruolin a chance to try.
Thank you.
However, I hope you will also give me a chance to show you the girl's singing before you decide.
I guarantee that you'll have a change of heart after listening to her voice.
Alright, I'll accept your deal,
but I don't think I will change my mind.
While the program was still on air, I already received congratulations from Chairman Li.
When did you both decided to sing together?
Why did you hide this from me?
It was only decided on the program. Just take this as a surprise.
Ruolin, what a huge reputation.
Did you know that no matter how much I begged your mother for all these years to sing, she simply wouldn't.
Who knew that because of you, she is finally singing again.
I think I really am benefiting from association with my daughter.
Don't say that. I will feel bad about it.
I haven't sung for so long. If I don't sing well, I'm afraid I might hurt Ruolin's reputation.
Aye, the company calls me at a time like this.
Zhong Ming. Okay. Wait a second.
You guys keep eating. Don't wait for me.
Come home early.
Just now, you should have exposed my lie in front of Dad.
Anyway, he will find out the truth in the end. You are only delaying it. I won't thank you for it.
Today, I met Guan Yi.
Why? Are you conspiring against me?
I told him that I was willing to sing that song,
but that the person I will only sing with is you. He agreed.
Let's take care of each other in the future.
Why?
What made you change your mind?
I was thinking for a long time
If one day, I need to make a comeback,
other than doing a duet with my daughter,
I can't find another reason for it.
Also,
I also want to apologize to you.
That day,
I shouldn't have slapped you.
Mom, don't say something like that.
No mothers would apologize to their daughters after slapping them.
Okay, let's not talk about sad things. Let's eat.
Here, eat.
Fried eggs are ready!
Mom, I'll help you.
Today feels strange.
Our second daughter was not doing voice training this morning.
Instead, she went to study. Also, what's wrong with your clothes?
I am not quite used to you buttoning it all up so nicely.
Being a good student, wearing clothes properly is basic courtesy.
Studying well is my job.
I just skimmed through it and found that French is actually pretty simple.
You're reading French? Daughter, you're almost a star.
Go practice and train your voice. Studying is such a waste.
Haven't you guys heard? Having a good temperament is the best way to take care of myself.
Besides, there are so many variables in becoming a big star. I should expand my horizons.
This Cheng Yi agency is really something.
She has become so obedient after being with them for only a few days.
If I have known, I would have made her sign up with the company earlier. It would have decreased my worries.
I'm full. I'm going.
Done already?
Don't forget to take your packed lunch and milk tea.
I'm going.
Meiyan, don't read now. Mom knows you're a good daughter.
Here, eat more eggs.
Okay.
Auntie Zhang, be careful.
I didn't imagine that Wang Xuan would make a comeback.
That's right.
Since this was relayed, many people are discussing it.
Even my news/magazine stand sales have increased by 20 percent.
Wow! Really?
If this special album is released early, I may buy it.
It's a pity I have no money right now.
I can only listen to others sing.
Meili, I have always wanted to tell you
I think you and Wang Xuan look somewhat alike.
Me? Like Wang Xuan?
That's nonsense.
Don't believe me? See for yourself.
Both your eyes look the same, like they're from the same mold.
Look here.
Xu Ruolin looks more like her! Both are so beautiful.
Auntie Zhang. Are you saying this to trick me into buying your magazine?
Yes, I've been found out.
How evil!
Huh?
It's this ad again.
Person search ad?
Who exactly is this Sun ge? Why is it so important?
There's actually someone who's been looking for 20 years already.
Mom, let's listen to Guan Yi's demo together.
Alright.
Mom sing first, then I'll follow.
Mhm.

Wang Xuan, what's up?
It's nothing. I just want you to come home early.
I cooked your favorite pork ribs soup with mountain herbs. It's simmering now.
I'm already on the way home.
Is that so? Okay, I will wait for you.
Ruolin, are you coming home for dinner tonight?
No, I have things to attend to.
Fine.
Mom, I'm available for the next two days.
Do you want to go to the sauna with me? I haven't been in awhile.
Okay, I'm available anytime.
I will keep some of the soup for you.
Just heat it up if you want to have it after coming home tonight.
Okay, I understand.
You should still remember who I am, right?
I have an urgent matter and want to meet you.
- Sorry. - It's okay.
Madam Wang. I found Sun Jinsheng.
Really?
Even though it's a photo from twenty years ago, I'm very sure it's him.
This is great. Text me the address now. I'm going there now.
Chairman Xu. You are still very cautious in the way you work.
You didn't allow me to enter your home just now.
You wanted me to come to this rooftop since you are afraid that
I would record your conversation secretly in your home.
You don't have to worry about this. If you still don't trust me,
you can do a body search on me.
Jinsheng.
Many years ago, I remember we had an agreement not to see each other again.
Why are you here to see me again?
Rourou.
Chairman Xu. Didn't you want me to contact you?
Did you send the child away yet?
Not yet. Sorry, Chairman Xu.
I was clumsy. I really deserved to die. I lost the child.
I have wronged Wang Xuan, Chairman Xu.
There is nothing to be sorry about. You have already lost her.
Since this is heaven's will, you don't need to find her.
You were going to send the child to the orphanage anyways.
Let me tell you, Sun Jinsheng. Wang Xuan really wants to see you right now,
because she thinks that if she meets you, she will be able to find her child. Thus, no matter what,
you must not answer her calls. Understand?
I understand.
However, she won't give up that easily. Once we leave the train station, she will definitely go to your place.
Hence, you must pack immediately. Understand?
You must let her think that you really sent the child away and is now hiding from her.
But Chairman Xu, this...
There are no "but"s.
Sun Jinsheng. I already ask Zhongming to transfer the money you wanted into your account.
Remember this. Starting from today, I don't know you anymore.
You don't know me either. You will never ever contact Wang Xuan again. Understand?
Yes.
At that time, you clearly knew that Wang Xuan had a child out of wedlock.
Yet, you didn't make a move,
and personally came to find me to persuade Wang Xuan to abandon her daughter
and marry you. You said this was the best solution for both Wang Xuan and me.
Thus, I listened to you
and persuaded Wang Xuan to abandon her child.
Do you know that after all these years,
I haven't been able to feel at peace whenever I think about this?
I'm too ashamed to see her.
Xiao Li, quick.
Sun Jingsheng. You don't need to shed crocodile tears in front of me.
What do you want? Tell me now.
- I want two million ($303,912 USD). - I already gave it to you in the past.
All that money is already gone. I need a new life.
If you don't give this money to me, I will ask Wang Xuan for it.
See if you dare.
I have already lost everything, so I'm not afraid of anything.
Why isn't Tianhao answering?
Madam Wang.
Where is Sun ge? He went back to room 8518.
Do you want me to accompany you?
No need, I can go alone.
I will send your fees to you later. Don't worry.
Sun ge.
Sun ge, I'm Wang Xuan. Open the door.
Sun ge!
I know you are in there. Sun ge!
Sun ge, why aren't you opening the door?
Don't you know I have been looking for you for twenty years?
I have used every method to contact you for these twenty years,
but you never return my messages.
Sun ge, open the door!
Do you know how hard it was for me to find you for the past twenty years?
Sun ge.
Sun ge, why aren't you opening the door?
Why?
Jiang Meili.
You again? You still aren't giving up after several days?
You clearly know I won't give up, yet you are still dead set on not singing my song.
Right, I won't sing.
Jiang Meili. I'm not done talking yet.
It's a pity for give my song to someone else. Teacher Wang already promised to give you a chance.
Whoever wants to sing it, can. You don't need to give me this chance.
Mr. Guan, I just want to complete my job. I don't have time to daydream with you.
Give me one minute, and I guarantee that you will go to the recording studio.
You are curious now and want to listen, right?
I just wanted to tell you that I'm going to deliver the package now. Don't follow me.
Room 8526, fifth floor.
Hey, how could you peek at the client's address?
This is an intrusion of personal privacy.
I remember you're afraid of taking the elevator.
Fine, take your time climbing up the stairs. I will be waiting for you upstairs.
You...
Bye bye. No, see you later.
I'm so furious.
Don't worry. I won't disturb your work.
I will wait for you.
I have never seen someone so stubborn. I won't agree even if you keep following me.
I'm telling you, I won't.
It really is Wang Xuan.
What a coincidence.
Is it possibly because Guan Yi asked her to come persuade me?
What's wrong?
You are?
I picked up your necklace last time.
You also signed my purse with your lipstick.
You probably don't remember...
but you also gave me your lipstick.
I always carry it with me.
Look. Who is that?
She looks really familiar.
- Yeah. Is she a celebrity? - I don't know. I'm not sure.
Thank you.
Can I help you with anything?
No need.
Then I'll go make my delivery. It's right over there.
You can have this.
Thank you.
President Xu, don't worry. Once I confirm that the money has been deposited in my account,
I will immediately disappear and never contact you again.
I remember you said the same thing 20 years ago,
but this time, I hope you can fulfill your promise.
Otherwise, I can assure you that you will not have another 20 years.
Don't worry. I promise.
President Xu, this way.
My room is up in front around the corner.
Sun ge!
I finally found you, Sun ge.
Sun ge, Sun ge.
Wang Xuan.
I- I have finally found you.
Wang Xuan, how- how are you here?
How long has it been since we last met?
Sun ge, I wanted to ask you something.
Wang Xuan, even after all these years,
you haven't changed at all. How are you these days?
Sun ge. I have an important thing to ask you. Where is Rourou?
- Rourou? - I want to meet her.
Take me to see her.
Okay. Stop shouting.
If there's anything you want to say, let's go to my room. It's right up in front.
So he is Miss Wang's friend.
Hey. You know him?
I don't know him.
Sun ge, hurry up and tell me where Rourou is.
Is she doing well? Does she still remember me?
Didn't I tell you then not to keep asking about this?
Your relationship with her needs to have a clean break.
Sun ge, actually, Tianhao already knew I had a daughter.
I told him the day we got married.
He even told me that he was willing to accept my daughter.
He also asked why I didn't tell him earlier so that he could arrange things.
Actually, all of our concerns at that time were unnecessary.
Tianhao is not a small-minded person.
He really loves me and is willing to accept everything about me.
Wang Xuan.
I, Sun ge, was trying to do what was best for both of you.
That's why I did what I did.
Sun ge, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to blame you,
I only want- I only want to meet Rourou again.
I want the chance to make it up to her.
Tell me quickly, Sun ge, where Rourou is.
How do you want me to say this?
Sun ge. I don't understand.
What are you contemplating?
You know better than anyone where Rourou is,
but why won't you tell me?
Do you know that I've waited for this day for 20 years?
I don't want to wait any longer. I can't wait any longer. I can't take it anymore.
Wang Xuan.
Don't get worked up. Okay, I will tell you. You must be mentally prepared.
Quick. What is it? What happened to Rourou?
Miss Jiang.
How long are you going to follow me for?
Until you accept my request.
Aren't you a person who is open to friendly persuasion but won't be cowed by force?
Do you call this a friendly persuasion? This is using force.
- How am I forcing you? - You are.
Anyways, don't follow me anymore!
If you keep following me, we will meet at the police station.
That's even better.
We can sit down at the police station and talk about that song.
I'm going crazy.
Director Guan, do you not have any business to attend to?
I've never seen someone like you,
shamelessly forcing someone to sing a song.
Move!
I'll hit you! Move!
Who is Rourou that Wang Xuan's searching for her like this?
I can't worry about other people's problems.
I have my own problems.
Weifeng?
Hello, Weifeng.
Meili, could you come to my Chinese medicine shop right now?
I have something important to discuss with you.
Okay, I got it.
Don't worry, I'll think of a solution.
Jiang Meiyan.
Are you so loose-lipped?
But... we really didn't have a lot of money.
Meili, Meili, relax.
I think Meiyan did the right thing.
How can you pay back $300,000?
How about this, when the bank opens tomorrow morning,
I'll cancel my saving's account.
I will first transfer $200,000 (~$30,000 USD) to your account.
How is that alright?
That's your own hard-earned money.
Besides, I don't need to get married yet,
so you can use it.
We can talk about it after you've taken care of it.
Sis, just listen to him this time.
Don't ignore his kindness!
You be quiet.
Weifeng, I'm really grateful you're willing to help,
but this amount of money is not small.
I'm afraid I can't return it to you anytime soon.
Then do it slowly. I'm not in any hurry.
You should first overcome your current difficulties.
We can discuss the rest in the future.
It's set then.
Alright then. Thanks.
You're still not leaving?
Don't you think you've trouble others enough?
Save me!
Meili. Don't blame her.
She did it for you.
I know.
Let's go.
Thanks.
- Bye bye. - Bye.
Sis. After Weifeng ge transfers $200,000 ($30,700 USD) tomorrow,
on top of your $85,000 ($13,000 USD), we will have a total of $285,000 ($43,700 USD).
Then, we're only short $15,000 ($2,300 USD).
Sis?
Sis.
Sis! Are you really angry?
I only wanted to help.
Can you take advantage of others just because you want to help?
It seems like violating the contract didn't teach a lesson just yet.
- It's because Weifeng... - You clearly knew that Weifeng likes you,
so you took advantage of him and used him.
Weifeng insisted on lending the money to me.
You told him about this matter. Doesn't that show your intention of borrowing money from him?
Meiyan, as a person we should have a heart.
$200,000 is not a small number. There is no way we can pay it back in a few years.
Why are they fighting?
You use his fondness of you to borrow money from him.
What happens if we can't return the money?
Then are you going to marry him?
He never said that.
Even now, you are still talking like that?
Jiang Meiyan, don't be so impudent!
Tomorrow, I'm going to visit my workplace
and see how much I can borrow.
First pay back the 300,000 you owe Cheng Yi, and then we will discuss this.
What!
Meiyan, you owe someone $300,000?
Dad, why are you eavesdropping on us?
That's not important!
How did this $300,000 happen?
Hurry and tell me!
Don't ever let your mother know about this.
If she finds out,
Meiyan will be dead meat.
Dad, be more discreet, don't say anything.
I would never say anything. It's you I'm worried about.
Of course I won't! What should I do?
Look at your face, it looks like you're about to cry.
What should we do?
You! Cool it!
Done.
Look.
Fried beef.
It smells so good. Today, we actually had enough dishes,
but I saw an energetic fish at the market.
I saw it was so fresh, so I couldn't help but buy it.
Are you okay?
You're only eating rice. Are the dishes bad?
What is going on? The three of you are acting strangely.
Mom, you've worked hard.
Eat more fish.
Right, Mom, eat more vegetables! It helps lower blood pressure.
Yes, eat more meat.
We can have a meal like this now, but it might not happen again.
Eh? What did you say?
Uh, I was saying,
the beef is too expensive. We should save money in this household.
I was wondering what was up.
You only worry about money, is that so?
This beef was a bit expensive,
but Meiyan has been singing and dancing recently,
so I wanted to get something to benefit her health and bones.
Also, didn't you guys say,
Meiyan is the type who will become a superstar in the future.
If someday she really becomes famous
and makes money, the money for the beef...
My hand went numb for a bit.
Don't worry about me. I'm fine, I'm fine.
Ayo, what is it again?
I forgot,
I took on a night shift temporary. I need to go to work.
- I'm leaving. - Dad, where are you going?
- I am late. I am late. - Dad. Don't go.
Old man, didn't you stop taking the night shift?
Why are you going again?
I suddenly began thinking that life
can't just be passed by in a daze.
I have two daughters, so I need to make more money.
Otherwise, when they are working on their career,
they will have stuff to worry about. I am leaving.

♫ And it's too late to say goodbye ♫
♫ Maybe we were just one step away from happiness ♫
♫ But If you and she are happy, ♫
♫ just forget how much I once loved you ♫
♫ Maybe we were just one step away from happiness ♫
♫ It's a pity that we only made it this far ♫
♫ And it's too late to say goodbye ♫
♫ Maybe we were just one step away from happiness ♫
♫ But If you and she are happy, ♫
♫ just forget how much I once loved you ♫
