[Game of Hunting]
[Episode 19]
Hello. 9.8 yuan.
Sorry, I forgot my wallet. I won't be buying this.
That's okay. I'll pay for you. It's just 10 yuan.
We work in the same building.
Here, together.
Thank you.
We've reviewed your resume. We think you are a suitable candidate.
I am a longtime client who has been purchasing your products online.
I'm very familiar with your company's sales manager.
Two kungpao chickens.
One sauteed celery with Chinese bacon, one braised eggplant, not too salty.
Hello? Where are you?
Let's meet up.
Which floor?
Ground floor.
This is going up.
What a coincidence.
Consider it a trip just to pay you back.
You're too courteous.
Rent in this building is so high.
If you're always so preoccupied, your business will suffer.
You can tell I'm preoccupied?
A bit.
Don't take it to heart. It happens to everyone.
Thank you.
She doesn't say anything.
When I ask, she says she's viewing houses.
I have to congratulate you.
Those days are just beginning.
I've lived through two years of it already.
I normally don't know what she's busy with.
In a word, busy.
She doesn't elaborate much at home.
It's not appropriate to question too much.
That would be like forcing her to lie.
Your wife is an independent spirit.
But Xiong Qing Chun isn't.
She is the type who insists on holding hands everywhere we go.
In the past, she wouldn't stop talking. Now, her lips are sealed.
Marriage registration in Guangxi fell through.
There really was no other reason behind it?
None.
It by chance.
The registration office's seal broke.
Should I talk to her for you?
If she and I had a fight and had a falling out
you could try to mediate.
The problem now is that nothing happened between us.
What would you talk to her about?
Is there someone else?
Probably not.
I haven't thought about that.
It's impossible.
Want to have someone look into it?
I know some reliable professionals.
No, no.
No following. I won't do that even if it kills me.
It's her.
Hey, where are you?
I'm traveling out of town for a few days.
Don't look for me. I'll be back in two or three days.
Qing Chun, what exactly are you up to?
Where are you going? Tell me what happened.
No matter what it is, I can handle it.
Don't worry that it'll be too much for me.
I'm asking for it, okay?
I don't want to talk about it here.
I'm hanging up now.
Don't look for me and don't call the police.
My phone will be off.
- I will be in touch when I'm ready. - Don't hang up!
Xiong Qing Chun, don't take this too far!
You can't be so inconsiderate! You know what you mean to me!
If you just leave like this, how do you expect me to be at ease?
Are your affections solely for tormenting others?
Will you stubbornly have your way, regardless of whether others survive?
It's not like that. Don't say anymore.
It's because I care too much.
All right, I'm hanging up and turning off my phone.
I don't get it.
Hi! Do you want to be happy?
Yes.
Then be my girlfriend.
Oh, my! You're finally up!
Oh, yes.
What is the PIN for this card?
It's like this.
You were in a car crash last night.
Your car was flipped over on the meadow off the road.
I saved you and brought you to the hospital.
This is the hospital.
I paid for your medical fees.
So, I don't have any money left.
Thank you.
Beautiful and thankful, a true goddess.
This has held up my performances for the day though.
The traffic police interrogated me all morning
and then criminal police came at noon.
Forget it. I won't talk to you about my losses.
It always costs something to help others.
Where's my phone?
It's out of battery.
There's no charger here so I gave it to the nurses to charge it.
Don't worry.
I will pay you back every cent.
What should I call you?
My last name is Yu, character for "dry" with a hook.
Thank you, Mr. Yu.
You're welcome.
You were lucky.
If I hadn't stopped for a leak, I wouldn't have found you.
It was so dark.
Fortunately, your car lights were blinking like ghost lights. Spooky!
It really set off my imagination.
What do you want to eat?
The hospital food is very plain.
My house is nearby.
I am certified as a cook, intermediate level.
Take your time.
Why don't I feed you? It'll be easier for you.
- Sorry to bother you. - It's okay.
By the way, do you have any family members?
Yes.
It tastes good.
It's bone broth. You need to eat what you need to heal.
Aren't you going to inform your family members?
No.
I don't want them to worry.
What is your job?
An actor, comedian.
In a professional troupe?
Beijing People's Art Theater.
Really?
Beijing People's Art Theater is my favorite.
Are you related to Mr. Yu Shi Zhi?
He's an elder.
I didn't finish my sentence yet.
I meant Beijing People's Art Theater...
is next to where I grew up.
I've been watching performances there since I was a kid.
There is a wide range of acting methods.
Have you heard of People's Art Theater's famous director, Lin Zhao Hua?
I have his autographed book, "Director's Picture Book".
Really? I don't have it.
But, he's praised me before.
I once cameoed for his show.
Do you know what he said?
He said, "Yu Cheng Fei, straight-up kitschy!"
Your name is Yu Cheng Fei? (Name means to take flight.)
I'm calling today to establish contact with you.
De Ren Consulting will have a position suitable for you in the future.
I can explain further.
It'll only take a few minutes of your time.
My last name is Ma. You can just call me Rose.
Hello, allow me to introduce myself.
Our company's name is De Ren Consulting.
We primarily handle human resources consulting
also known as headhunting.
My last name is Jia. You can just call me Lisa.
Hello, the subscriber you dialed is powered off.
Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is powered off.
Come in.
Mr. Zheng Qiu Dong, my boss would like to see you.
We wanted to call to invite you upstairs
but our boss said no and required I come down for you.
How does your boss know about me?
From an online search just now.
- What's your boss's name? - Last name Hai.
This way.
Chairwoman Hai, he is here.
Hello, Chairman Zheng.
Hello, Chairwoman Hai. Secretary Sun told me your name.
Unimaginable, right?
Look.
Such a coincidence.
That's my company's website. That's me.
Two cups of tea. You may go now.
I noticed a headhunting firm listed on the building directory downstairs.
Oh, please sit.
I searched online and found you. What a coincidence.
Is there something you need my help with?
Our chief financial officer (CFO) will be leaving soon.
I haven't had any contact with other headhunting firms before.
I'd like to know how difficult finding a replacement would be.
You want me to help fill in the CFO vacancy. Is that it?
Correct.
I am sorry, Ms. Hai.
I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you.
My company is in a bit of a situation which I was unprepared for.
I am in an unfit state of mind to focus on work.
Is there anything I can help you with, Mr. Zheng?
Thank you. Your forgiveness is already much appreciated.
I'm sorry. I hope I can serve you in the future.
There is a set procedure from
the moment a client expresses intent until acceptance of our services.
Why isn't it in here?
Redo it.
If you were paid by how many of your cold calls went through
you wouldn't even be able to afford a boxed lunch.
Front desk and secretary defenses are becoming stronger.
I've taught you a hundred ways to bypass them. Have you tried them all?
Keep calling.
Ma Xiao Hong.
I--
I'm not coming in. I want to speak with you.
It won't take too much of your time.
GM Xiong, where are you?
If she doesn't come back for a month
won't we have to be reprimanded for a whole month?
How could she do this?
She is too irresponsible in her relationship.
That's still no reason to act like this.
It's like he lost his soul and no longer a man.
Easy to stand there and criticize others.
You two should stop arguing.
I only managed to react once you had left.
Something's wrong.
You rejected me by saying you were in a bad state of mind.
Is that appropriate?
I am afraid of wasting your time.
I received the impression that you find collaboration with me to be beneath you.
You said no before you even heard me mention basic details.
I felt I was given the cold shoulder.
My mood soured quickly.
That's why I must speak with you again to turn my mood around.
Otherwise, I'll be unable to sleep for several days.
It's really not because of you, Ms. Hai. It's entirely my problem.
It's true. I'm being hard on myself and behaving erratically.
Too late, Mr. Zheng. My mood has already been spoiled.
I respect you, Chairwoman Hai.
If I have failed to convey my respect, I am sorry.
Of course, I don't know what has happened to you either.
I suppose I was too quick to judge.
You are so young. How can you be thrown into disarray so easily?
You run a business, and pay wages and exorbitant rent.
You're in a bad mood? Off your game?
Aren't you being too irresponsible?
I have experienced it all.
If you’re willing to listen, I'll share some of my life lessons.
Please do tell. I can only benefit from it.
If you are a boss, regardless of the size of your business
you should be as busy as the premier each day
working with utter devotion.
You will forget about your mood.
But there's always something to remind me.
Throw yourself into work. You will forget.
When you're busy like a spinning top, you won't notice your mood.
All right.
Let's see what I can help you with.
Your CFO wants to leave the company?
Yes.
How long has he been working here?
20 years.
20 years?
That's a very long time.
Has the contract come to an end?
There is no contract.
No contract with a CFO?
It was not an oversight. I just never thought he would leave.
Contracts are a way of the world.
How could it not have occurred to you?
He is my husband.
Your husband is your company's CFO. He is now determined to leave?
He wants to leave.
The blood stains from when we strived for success together no longer exist.
In my opinion, if a person wants to leave, they'll always find a reason.
It's understandable. It's hard to accept, right?
It's all right. I can accept it.
What is his reason for leaving?
No mistress, no divorce or property divisions, nothing at all.
He also loves our family very much.
It may be because we have different management philosophies.
Anyone else in your family?
We have a daughter who is in Shanghai.
She's 20 years old. Look, she just got married.
Look, her picture.
How enviable. A perfect life.
- There's nothing more you could want. - Oh, please.
I'm only 45 years old. My husband is 46 years old.
Isn't it too early to be content with our lives?
No, no. I was talking about myself.
Have you always taken a rather forceful personality with your husband?
No, I know my abilities are limited.
I'm afraid of being passive
so that's why I seem extremely proactive in various aspects.
It may give others the misperception of a forceful personality.
Would you rather urge him to stay or find a new CFO?
I want...
I hope you can find a good position for my husband.
He's a remarkable man.
He is highly competent in both business and management.
Before taking the plunge, he was
one of the province's top 10 outstanding youths in the economic field.
Why not try to keep him?
You two have experienced everything together.
Even if I want us to stay together...
Perhaps leaving is the better choice.
He is highly capable.
If he doesn't leave, his full potential may not be realized.
Since you believe he is more capable than you are
why not let him manage the company?
My husband has asked me that before.
What would I do then?
There are two things you should not say to me.
I will despise whoever says them.
First, you could travel around the world.
Second, you could go home and take care of the children.
I don't want to idle around. I'm only 45 years old.
If he wants to accomplish something out there, I won't stand in his way.
We're family. Family comes first.
Despite that, I need to guard my turf.
I understand.
I'll need materials from you, mainly on your husband.
Regarding your request to find a CFO
I will send you our quote later.
If you find it too high, we can discuss it.
Money isn't an issue.
Understood.
Money is not an issue. It's more important to have heart.
That's exactly it.
Are you married?
No, but soon.
What does your girlfriend do?
We manage the business together.
It's a family-run business.
How's this? I'll treat you two to dinner tonight.
I like to take people out to dinner.
She's not here. She's out of town.
Where has she gone?
She didn't say.
She didn't say?
Well, that's unusual.
She's not avoiding you, is she?
I can't say for sure.
This must be why you were behaving erratically.
My mind is a complete mess.
It sounds quite perplexing.
The best part about being a workaholic is the absence of these pains.
None.
I'll give it a try.
Hey, did you receive the materials?
Hold on.
Yes, I got them.
Look at the time. You're still working?
What time is it?
Oh gosh.
Good thing you're available. I need to see you.
What now? It's like you're on steroids.
Where are you?
A man has to eat.
Look.
She just sent this to me.
Many headhunting firms have interviewed him before.
Also some of the global top 500 companies that are in China.
I'm putting together a profile.
This woman is a successful businesswoman who has made a name for herself.
Her husband's name is Zhang Zhi Bin.
My researchers are gathering his information.
I have to meet with her tomorrow.
Do you have any recommendations for a CFO?
Hold on first.
This case isn't going anywhere.
- There's no rush. - Yes, there is.
She comes knocking on my door three times a day.
I'm not even counting texts and calls.
Are you doing this on purpose?
What?
Purposely throwing yourself into work and forgetting everything else.
Where did you get that idea? Do I not seem normal?
Not normal.
Considerably not normal.
You're like how you were in Beijing.
Do you want to become another person again?
Don't try to frighten me.
Let me ask you.
Xiong Qing Chun just dropped off the face of the earth.
Have you truly forgotten her or are you pretending?
What do you mean?
Your woman disappeared, nowhere to be seen.
You should be searching for her
instead of finding a job for a female stranger's man.
You're acting outside of reason, man.
I want to look for her.
But how will I do that?
She said she's going out of town.
Her phone is off.
China is big. If she wants to hide, where would I even begin to look?
Besides, why should I look for her?
She's not a kid who was sold off. She could come back if she wants to.
She's gone off to do something she had meticulously planned.
I'm not worried.
That's what I keep telling myself.
But I am burning with anxiety!
Can't you just say something that won't make me hurt more?
I admire who you were back at France Bank more.
You had the courage to do what needed to be done.
I can't seem to find any middle ground.
I either drive women mad
or I'm driven mad by women.
Chairman Zheng, you weren't sleeping, right?
No. What is it?
GM Xiong sent me a message just before you got home.
Why didn't you say so sooner?
I didn't notice.
Hui, how has Chairman Zheng been the past two days?
He's very worried and keeps throwing tantrums.
Chairman Zheng's temper is all because of you.
Where are you?
I know.
Tell him to not be mad at me.
It was wrong of me.
It's best if you tell him that yourself.
He would be very pleased.
I'm returning tomorrow. I'll tell him in person.
What time are you coming back? Plane or train? Need a pickup?
No further replies.
Why didn't you find out where she is?
That's right!
Hello?
Not sleeping yet?
No.
I was wondering if Qing Chun went to England to find her ex-boyfriend.
Don't make wild guesses.
She messaged Cheng Gong and said she'll be back tomorrow.
So where do you think she is right now?
I don't know.
Isn't this ridiculous?
She contacted Cheng Gong instead of me.
I think Xiong Qing Chun has reverted to her blackmailer self.
She's a complete stranger.
She is being quite strange.
Oh, that's right. Off topic for a bit.
My researchers called.
Zhang Zhi Bin, your client's husband
is an extremely valuable resource.
The moment he was entered in the database
there were more than one AAA-grade enterprise matches.
Okay.
You can handle the high-level job.
I'll do the low-level one and find them a new CFO.
Any ideas?
No.
Xiong Qing Chun has turned me into a halfwit.
How's your wife?
My wife?
She's just more and more adorable.
She likes watching idiotic variety shows.
She's laughing so hard her jaw might fall off.
The kicker is that it's a rerun.
She already watched it last night.
Can't do anything about it.
Our country should make a rule that
anybody with a higher education who watches shows like these
should have their diploma revoked immediately
and serve 20 days of community service.
That'll teach them.
I see now.
You two are the lovers type of married couple.
I've discovered that
keeping my nose to the grindstone and wearing myself out
can't lighten the mental pressure I feel.
Instead, I'm doubly suffering.
Those who say it works are in denial.
Let me send you a video.
Video of what?
Just hold on.
Keep it up.
What a wonderful wife.
If we could be as easily amused as her
would life not be full of smiles?
We both living life wrong.
I gradually discovered her qualities.
Want to spend two days with my wife?
I really do.
What kind of behavior is that?
Kitty's here.
What is wrong with you! Why are you laughing?
Nothing, nothing. Redo, redo.
You're terrible! What are you laughing at?
Tell me! What are you laughing at?
Let me tell you some gossip.
Okay, I'll listen! Tell me!
Gossip is fun.
You're still laughing?
Hello, Chairwoman Hai.
I've already sent over the materials. Check again.
There is information on two candidates.
One has a wealth of experience
and been in both state and private businesses.
He is a well-rounded individual.
The other is highly devoted.
From Harbin to Zhuhai
he stayed with one boss for nine years.
There are annotations.
Okay, goodbye.
GM Xiong is home.
How do you know?
The owner of the kiosk outside the house messaged me just now. Look.
Car keys.
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine…
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
Without no seams nor needle work
Then she'll be a true love of mine.
