[Game of Hunting]
[Episode 7]
Hello.
When I went to Nanning, you were in the ICU
so we didn't get to meet.
Yes, yes.
I only heard of your visit after you had already left.
Is Mr. Ju coming later?
Chairman Meng didn't tell you?
Tell me what?
Ju passed away in April.
He's dead?
What happened?
Depression.
Mr. Qin Fei, this is the "Doomsday" you wrote for him.
It once encouraged him to live for another year.
I don't even recognize my own handwriting.
Yes, you were extremely weak at the time.
Ju thought you wouldn't survive.
I'm sorry.
He was very worried about you.
Seeing you today, I'm very happy for you.
Lord...
My heart nearly can't take this. How could there be such a coincidence?
Mr. Qin, what's wrong?
Surviving wasn't easy for me either.
Mr. Ju is very right.
Today is like doomsday.
According to your suggestions
data for salaries has been outsourced to Shang Yu Research.
The accuracy of their systems is 96.3 percent.
They fulfill our requirements, but cost is an issue.
Presently, we're limited to outsourcing
salary research for mid-level management.
Purchasing data is relatively cheaper.
Many consulting firms have a salary database.
Purchasing those is even cheaper.
The main factor would be timeframe.
Online surveys provide the quickest results.
I see what you're saying.
We need to increase the range.
There must be at least 20 data points for each position
for there to be statistical significance.
Understood.
Get back to work.
Come in.
Hello, Director Qin.
Manager Sun, have a seat.
I'm not interrupting, am I?
No, a meeting just ended.
How are you doing?
All right. Just public relations work.
Vice Chairman Song takes the lead. I just listen on the side.
What is it?
Public Relations will be hosting a fancy cocktail party for clients.
This has all been decided already.
Your attendance has been requested.
Really? Why is that?
Vice Chairman Song said this sort of party has a certain concept
and the good-looking men and women in the company must be invited.
When is it?
Sir, you have a lot of internal heat.
I've been sitting in place all day. There's no helping it.
[Manager Sun]
Hello, Manager Sun.
Profiles of the company's new hires
will all be publicly released online tomorrow.
Take some time tonight to look over your information
and check for errors.
It can still be edited before noon tomorrow.
All publicly released?
Aren't these personal profiles excessively detailed for public release?
Internal and external profiles should be different.
External profiles should be focused on professional capabilities.
It's sufficient to begin with educational background.
Marital status, place of birth, blood type, birthdate, astrological sign
such personal information is not appropriate for publishing.
On the other hand, internal records can be as detailed as necessary.
Okay, I've written that down.
I will ask Vice Chairman Song for further instruction tomorrow.
Some employees are highly competent and perform well.
Perhaps, their personal history is not as bright.
Would they suffer from discrimination?
There is a possibility of inequality.
Okay, I've taken notes.
By the way, don't forget about tomorrow's cocktail party.
Vice Chairman Song requests formal attire.
Okay. That's all for now. Bye.
- Director Qin. - Chairman Yue, hello!
Let me introduce you.
This is our Valley Business Group's Vice Chairman Song.
This is Gelibao's Chairman Yue.
Chairman Yue singlehandedly carried the Rong Hong Soccer League
from the CFA Amateur League to the Chinese Super League.
Impressive.
I've heard a lot about you.
Nice to meet you.
Let's talk later. I have to greet a few people.
Okay, take your time.
Have you noticed the one by the door staring at you?
Who?
Chairwoman Fu.
Hello.
This is Valley's HR compensation director, Qin Fei.
This is the chairwoman of Jia Yun Heng Jewelry.
Hello, Chairwoman Fu.
One of your stores is just downstairs from where I live.
It's very classy.
Manager Sun, what's going on with Valley Group?
Do you only hire handsome men to lure clients in?
Our Director Qin is not just good-looking.
He's an MBA student at Peking University.
I guess I should be gasping in amazement.
Chairwoman Fu, you're surprisingly humorous.
Director Qin, come here.
Excuse me, I must go.
Okay.
Director Ma, you look dashing today.
Let me introduce you to someone.
Chairwoman Luo, allow me to introduce you.
This is HR Director Qin from Valley Group.
This is Chairwoman Luo Yi Ren from Zhong Bao Media.
Director Qin is representing Valley Group today.
Chairwoman Luo, do you know each other?
Hello, Director Qin.
I am Luo Yi Ren of Zhong Bao Media.
Hello, Chairwoman Luo.
Valley Business is a preferred platform of ours.
It's very nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you as well.
I've heard a lot about Zhong Bao Media.
Have you been there a while?
Chairwoman Luo!
We'll talk later, Director Qin.
We'll talk later.
Hello, everybody.
They're pretending to talk about the stock market.
They're laughing on the outside.
Director Qin, we'll be stepping over there.
Okay.
Distracted?
Doesn't Chairwoman Luo have extraordinary charm?
What? Do you know her well?
There are always a mysterious select few who are like demigods.
They clearly live in the human world but seem to be above it all.
They make others so curious.
Are you talking about Luo?
Yes.
She looks like a normal person, right?
But look closer and nobody can tell what cards she has in her hand.
She must be like a cloud master.
A cloud master?
"Passing clouds, left not a trace."
What people in ancient times would call a deity.
"Passing clouds, left not a trace."
"Where are the days of yore?"
More?
No.
Yore, as in days past.
"Passing clouds, left not a trace."
"Where are the days of yore?"
"Merriment a foreign notion, scarce a friend to drink with."
"A far cry from bygone times."
It means the good old days have already passed and there's no going back.
Wow, Director Qin.
Vice Chairman Song has said she has connections in high places
so there's no project she can't cinch.
High places?
As in political connections?
Xia Ji Guo. Do you know Chief Xia?
Two headhunters made a bet to find her trump card.
In the end, other than public information online
they came up with nothing.
It's the age of Assange and Snowden. Nothing remains a secret.
That story isn't detailed enough. I don't believe it.
Mr. Qin, my boss would like to speak with you. Are you free?
Who is your boss?
Chairwoman Luo, the lady over there.
This way, please.
Hello.
Why didn't you get in touch after coming back to Beijing?
I haven't gotten in touch with anyone.
I thought I might run into someone I know.
I've also thought about how I would handle it.
But I never expected the first person I would run into would be you.
Enemies cross paths often.
Sit down.
There's something I've been wanting to tell you in person.
I didn't betray you.
It's been four years.
There's no need to explain.
I believe you.
You didn't give me a chance to explain back then.
You look well.
You don't look like you were inside for four years.
I knew you were out.
I just didn't know where you were.
How did you know?
I was released a year early|.
Do you still remember my lawyer friend, Zhong Huai Lan?
Of course I do.
How did she know I was released?
Either she was curious...
or she wanted to keep tabs on me.
Seems like you aren't planning on telling me.
Telling you what?
How come Zheng Qiu Dong
has become Director Qin Fei?
It's simple.
After I got out...
I felt my history of incarceration was too hideous.
I couldn't escape its shadow.
Nobody would dare hire someone like me.
Even those returning from abroad with a Ph.D. are searching for work.
What chance would I have?
Everybody would ask what I was doing last year.
They'll ask for experience from the past five years.
There's no way to avoid it.
If I told the truth, they would definitely turn around and leave.
Discrimination is inevitable.
They won't save my number.
They won't give me their business cards.
I thought you merely changed your name.
Have you fabricated an identity?
I have.
I can't believe we've met again.
In this world...
you are the first to find out about this.
Don't look at me like that, Yi Ren.
I feel so twisted up inside.
I am willing to conduct myself with integrity.
Since my release, I haven't complained about the injustice.
I am content with reality.
I believe that so long as I treat others sincerely
I will be treated the same in return.
Everybody is willing to place trust in who I am now.
But...
Who would trust the real me?
Of the 4.5 million businesspeople...
in the 4 million square meters that is the CBD
I believe not one person has a resume like Zheng Qiu Dong.
There are so many people with better qualifications.
Why should people hire me?
How did you get this identity?
Is this a temporary solution or do you plan on being Qin Fei forever?
I guess it'll be forever.
All these years I've known you...
the deepest impression you left me with was that you always aspired to succeed.
You went to Nepal, then Guangxi
and now out of the blue you've become Qin Fei.
You always come up with a brilliant plan and throw yourself into it.
In the end, things always backfire on you in your bid for instant success.
Don't mind me.
I don't want to mince my words with you.
Are you saying...
this will once again end horribly for me?
I haven't had the time to consider the consequences yet.
You're being paranoid.
I'm still overcome with emotion from suddenly seeing you again.
Overcome with emotion?
What I've heard from you sounds more like resentment.
Quaking and rambling aren't the only signs of excitement.
I'm no longer a little girl.
I don't understand how you came to the idea of creating a fake identity.
It was instinct.
I could only choose between my past experiences or my present life.
There's no compromise.
I admit I was a bit hasty when I first decided to do this.
But I still haven't found a better solution.
Let's put this aside for now.
This is my company's clubhouse.
The number is on the card.
If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask.
You can do business.
It's such a large company.
If someone had told me you'd turn out like this, I wouldn't have believed them.
You're right.
I don't know how to do business.
It's all thanks to Xia.
Xia Ji Guo.
You know of him, right?
You and he...
Yes.
Cliche, right?
This is also another way of life.
Still not out yet?
Maybe they went to the gardens in the back.
Qin Fei is unexpectedly good with women.
If he's able to form a good relationship with Chief Xia
it will be beneficial for the company.
Valley Business and other politicians often hang around here.
It's not because I'm anybody important, but to show support for Xia.
Sorry, let me send a message.
You're so busy nowadays. You still have time to read?
Didn't you used to call me a bookworm?
That's the only hobby I have left.
There's nothing worth reading now though.
I'm just rereading old books.
Listen to this.
A friend who works in demographics and statistics says
0.013 percent of people in China have fake identities.
The rate is higher in big cities.
57.3 percent of these cases are crime related.
You told someone about me?
Did you lose your mind in prison?
Would I do that?
It was just a general question.
Listen here.
There's a point that's important for you.
According to statistics
the number one reason a false identity is exposed
is by professional information publicly posted through modern means.
Number two is by suspicion of a crime.
What does that mean?
I don't know.
My first reaction is to think of what should be done next.
If this were a character in a movie
I would be afraid he would be exposed.
I'm worried for you.
I hope this secret between us...
will always remain a secret.
Your secret can be manageable in our social circles.
Nobody will dig too deep into another person's private business.
I'm guessing you...
might not have a girlfriend yet.
Right?
You will in the future.
Your secret will be so frightening to her.
What will you tell her about your past?
There are weaknesses everywhere.
When you take her home, will your parents call you Qin Fei?
If there is such a person one day...
I will tell her about my past
so the choice will be hers.
Telling my secret to the one I care about the most...
sets my mind more at ease.
Really?
Of course.
Thank you.
For thinking of me as the one you care about the most.
Vice Chairman Song.
An old acquaintance?
You're making a big deal out of nothing.
Chairwoman Luo wanted to see me to learn about
the job of a compensation director.
Their company doesn't have this position.
Is that so?
You can ask Chairwoman Luo
if she could arrange for a dinner with Chief Xia.
Wouldn't that be a bit presumptuous?
What kind of relationship does she have with Chief Xia?
Vice Chairman Song?
Director Qin, pay attention.
Manager Sun, it's really not what you guys think.
Chairwoman Luo just asked me some questions.
Core employees make up about 25 percent of a company.
Yet, they bring in over 80 percent of the profit.
If these people were to leave for another job
the losses to the company would be beyond measure.
Schultz asked and answered the question of what human capital is.
It is a type of capital reflected in working people.
It is embodied by the quantity and quality of working people
and reflected by their knowledge
talent, skills, and health.
It is the total value of all of these traits.
[Resume. Name: Wu Fang]
It is a sum total. This point must be recognized.
Human capital takes form through investment.
It is just as essential as land and industrial capital.
[Hello, Director Qin. This is my resume. Please review.]
I've stepped outside. Go ahead now.
Are you Director Qin Fei?
Yes.
I'd like to meet with you.
There's no need to.
After your resume is accepted, you can prepare for the interview.
No, no. I must see you before the interview.
Ms. Wu, I'm in the Haidian District, far from the office right now.
It's not a good time.
I'm at the coffee shop next to The Lakeview Hotel.
We're very close.
Where are you?
Hello, hello! You must be Mr. Qin Fei.
I am. Did we have to meet?
Have a seat.
- What would you like to drink? - That's not necessary.
Waiter, a latte.
I'm very busy. I've never met someone so persistent.
You just wouldn't take no for an answer.
Forgive me. I'm inexperienced.
I'm relieved now that I've met you.
We recruit many people.
We receive lots of resumes every day.
How could I meet with every person?
Besides, meeting with you would be unfair to the others.
You don't have to meet other people, but you have to meet me.
I have to meet you? Why?
Are you Wu Fang?
You don't look like the photo.
Really?
We should probably have met before.
Met before? Where?
Beijing?
Guangxi.
Nanning.
Nanning?
Wu Fang?
I'm not Wu Fang.
The resume you read was just one I randomly downloaded online.
My real name is Xiong Qing Chun.
I run my own employment agency in Nanning's Jiangnan District.
Employment agency?
Where have we met before?
You investigated Qin Fei so thoroughly.
How did you fail to find out he had a fiancee?
Sir, I really don't know what your real name is
but my name is Xiong Qing Chun
and I dated Qin Fei for a year.
If not for his terminal illness, we would have been married already.
Since you are Qin Fei, we should know each other.
I don't understand what you're saying.
You must be talking about another Qin Fei.
You're quite resolute.
This is a copy of Qin Fei's ID card.
You can take a closer look.
The ID number is the exact same as yours
but has a different photo.
That's very easy to do over there.
You want to pull a fast one on me with a dark, blurry picture?
You're so naive.
Do you know what would happen to you if I called the police?
Oh, baby. What have I done to you that makes you want to call the police?
Robbery? I'm not wearing a mask.
Extortion? I haven't mentioned any money.
What would the police do when they got here?
I've seen plenty of people like you.
Swindlers, pains in the ass.
You might be able to trick someone else
but you should just give up on doing that to me.
Witch.
I made two copies of Qin Fei's death certificate.
I'll send one to your MBA program
and the other to Valley Group.
If you're a real man, walk out of here and don't look back.
Sit.
Let's talk it out.
Don't make a scene.
Who's a pain in the ass?
I take back what I said, all right?
What do you want?
You don't just want to teach me how to behave, do you?
Qin Fei has already been laid to rest.
Why are you going around impersonating him?
I don't want to disturb the dead.
Last year, in Guangxi, I came across...
I can't explain. It was purely a coincidence.
I don't want to know about it. If you can't explain, then leave it.
What I want to tell you is...
Qin Fei came to me in a dream.
He's alarmed by what you're doing.
He wants to haunt you so you'll never know a moment's peace.
Get to the point.
You came from so far and are so thoroughly prepared.
What exactly do you want?
Why did you steal his identity?
I was at the end of my rope.
Is it necessary to explain? It's a very long story.
I will respect this identity.
I won't sully his reputation.
I won't use his name to do shameful things.
That's your business. Making those promises to me is no use.
Your information is all online anyway. I'm not worried you'll slip away.
I never said I was going to run!
Tell me.
What exactly do you want?
This the third time I've asked you.
I want money.
You should've said so sooner.
We're not close. How could I come right out with that?
How much?
200.
Thousand?
I can draw up a contract and promise never to seek you out again.
If I break that promise, I shall be struck by lightning.
Qin Fei bought a car while he was still alive.
Do you know the license plate number?
The car is now mine.
Before the transfer of ownership, this was in Qin Fei's name
but it's in my name now.
I am Xiong Qing Chun.
200,000 yuan is too much.
I don't have that much right now.
That's not characteristic of someone on your level.
The salary of your position can easily be estimated.
Between 400,000 to 500,000 yuan?
I don't get that until year's end.
200,000 yuan isn't the whole of your salary.
Can you lower the amount?
Sure.
However, when you were saying you were at the end of your rope
I had already given you a discount in my mind.
This is definitely not the number I had in mind to begin with.
Have you been following me for several days?
It was hard work. Beijing is so big. I kept getting lost.
200,000 yuan.
Okay.
But you should know, this is blackmail.
I commit a crime, you benefit.
You're a smart man. It's a very good deal.
Waiter, check, please.
Sister, why wasn't Qin Fei married?
He always wanted to get married.
If not for his poor health, he would've been a father already.
He loved children and had dated twice.
There was a dentist he brought home.
She was a fair city girl.
That only lasted a year though.
She went abroad and got married.
Later on, he met another woman when he went to Nanning to start a business.
They got along very well. Qin Fei even bought a car.
The woman had a house and they were planning on getting married.
Unfortunately, Qin Fei got sick.
The woman took care of him for over a year.
That year, there was a harsh winter and the cane sugar business was failing.
They began to fall apart and then broke up.
I met the lady. She was quite a clever girl.
Sister, are you still in contact with her? I'd like to meet her.
I've lost all contact.
Once Qin Fei left, there was no more connection.
She was a very remarkable woman.
[Luo Yi Ren]
I just saw your message.
You're not sleeping yet?
Not yet.
I've been up wondering why you hadn't replied yet.
[Luo Yi Ren]
Hello.
What is it?
I didn't wake you, did I?
It sounds as if you haven't completely woken up yet.
I'm jet lagged. I wasn't sleeping.
What's the matter?
I want to see you.
I've encountered some trouble.
- Where are you? - I'm at home.
Over at Chaoyang Park.
Keep your phone on. I'll send someone over to pick you up.
Okay.
Chairwoman Luo, he's here.
- Go outside. - Okay.
This place is very extravagant.
It's not mine. It's quiet here.
I'm sorry.
I didn't expect to come see you so soon.
Something unexpected happen.
I thought I could handle it, but...
You're treating me like an outsider.
Is there any need for explanation between us?
I also find it unnecessary
but if I don't ramble on a bit
I'm afraid you'll think I'm being too comfortable.
Okay.
Then pretend you've already finished explaining.
Let's not treat each other like strangers.
Tell me what the problem is.
There was a bit of a slip-up with my identity.
It was only a matter of time.
Beijing isn't the North Pole.
It's densely populated and information is everywhere.
Keep going.
Qin Fei had a girlfriend.
I knew there was such a person but never saw her.
Because they broke up early on
I overlooked it and let my guard down.
A while ago, the woman somehow came upon my information online
and saw an exact match to Qin Fei's.
She reached out to me under the pretense of seeking employment.
After looking deeper into my situation
she came to the conclusion that I was a fraud.
She revealed herself today.
