[Game of Hunting]
[Episode 8]
Tell me what the problem is.
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.
Put simply, she wants money.
She agreed to settle this with a one-time payment.
Then give her money. How much does she want?
200,000 yuan.
I really don't have that much.
That's simple. 200,000 yuan, yes?
Should I have my company send the money to her account
or send it to you first and then you'll send it to her?
Send it to me first and then I'll send it to her.
Save a transfer receipt.
I'll need a letter of guarantee from her.
Your account number?
I've sent it to you.
I had already typed it in on my way here.
Thank you, Yi Ren.
Received.
Back in college, I spent a lot of your money too.
I freeloaded off you for a lot of meals.
I didn't thank you.
Why are you being so shy?
You don't understand.
If I don't shut this woman up
I don't dare to imagine what will happen next.
All my efforts will go down the drain.
Even after overcoming this hurdle, you won't be safe.
There are so many classmates and acquaintances here.
You don't know if you'll run into one of them on the street.
You want to succeed, but think about this.
The more successful you are
the more of your experiences and photos will be publicly posted.
You have a paradox in front of you.
Success and danger come hand in hand.
It's just like a snowman.
No matter how beautiful it is
it will melt as soon as the weather warms up.
Check your account for the money.
So fast?
I advise you to restore your identity as Zheng Qiu Dong.
I made inquiries.
It's easy to reinstate your household registration after prison.
It's a good thing it hasn't been too long since you were released.
Why do you keep delivering blow after blow?
I feel we're like...
Family, like family.
Why would I hit you down?
A complicated relationship...
has kept our fates tangled together for eight years.
Sometimes, I think too far. Let me put it this way.
If you are successful in the future and your company goes public
a false identity will prove to be your downfall
but a past as a convict will not hinder you.
300,000 yuan?
Use it for now. It's of little consequence to me.
Qiu Dong.
I'm fine.
Let's say no more.
Say no more.
I'll walk you out.
Wait.
This friendship...
is my pride.
But I still want to explain.
It's absolutely not out of courtesy, Yi Ren.
We've met twice now.
Both times, you've mentioned my identity to me.
On this matter
I had not considered as much as you have.
I'm not afraid of doing so either.
That's because I'm not out to do malicious deeds or swindle others.
I just wanted to avoid certain hassles and make things more convenient.
I will be careful to steer clear of the problems you just mentioned.
I hope you will have confidence in me.
I will use my own methods to win back everything I've lost.
Everything?
That is no longer possible.
Then everything, aside from the impossible.
When will you be content to be an ordinary person?
I've never wanted to be one.
But I've always been one.
When I first met you
I didn't sense any wild ambitions in you.
Really?
Precisely because I was that way, I have lost too much.
That's why I no longer want to live like that.
Go home.
I'll walk with you.
Don't hide behind perverted logic.
You didn't lose so much because of your ambitions.
It was because you didn't cherish what you had.
Come on.
I don't want to see you again.
Leave. Stay away from here!
Do you know what Luo Yi Ren is?
A slut who jumps from man to man, only concerned about her own happiness!
If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask.
That's right.
Zhong Bao Media's profits are not bad
but we need to leave ourselves some choice.
We can't collaborate exclusively with them.
Luo Yi Ren likes literature and art.
She'd be deeply involved with a book platform.
You need to carefully analyze the person.
Take Yue Ru Yi for example.
He likes to play soccer.
He'll go out of his way to buy a league for himself.
For fun.
Female bosses like Luo Yi Ren and Chu Yan Zi have commonalities.
What commonality?
Drama queens.
Come in.
Vice Chairman Song, here are the online public opinion survey results.
Please sign.
[Investigative Report on Luo Yi Ren of Zhong Bao Media]
Come to my office.
[Account Balance: 203,000 yuan]
Here.
Lending?
You're so crooked! Nobody's lending you money!
This is extortion!
That's the only thing I can write.
The money is already in my account.
If you turn around and call the police, I'll definitely be dead meat.
I won't accept it.
What if you blackmail me again?
I can't write "shut me up with money" either.
If you sue me, I'd still be dead meat.
We came to an agreement before!
No, we didn't.
At least, not all the details.
I think "lending" is the most appropriate word.
It's possible I might return the money to you in the future.
Return?
You?
Aren't you egotistical?
Don't turn your nose down at me, Qin Fei.
It feels quite awkward calling you that.
You need to know the letter of guarantee you want
must be written when all related parties are present for it to be effective.
What we write here while dealing in secret doesn't count.
Why don't I title this with two words?
Blackmail letter.
Would I?
It's over now.
You can rest at ease.
Even if I end up dirt-poor in the future, I won't harass you again.
I do have morals.
You have no sense of shame.
Do you feel disgusted having met me?
It's not the worst.
There's something even worse?
Yes.
Eating across from you.
You win.
Do you have my name memorized yet?
I will never forget your name and account.
You will succeed.
It's true. I'm always right about people.
I believe you want me to succeed more than anyone else in this world
because the more successful I am, the more money you can blackmail me for.
Will you quit that already?
I've told you this is the last time. The last time!
Are you even listening to me?
Can you stop blabbing on and on?
Xiong Qing Chun, if you have any morals
then take the money and leave and disappear from my sight!
If you're going to play dirty, then I'll play this game with you.
I recorded every word you said.
I'll take you down with me.
The worst that could be happen, I'd be too ashamed to work in the CBD.
You'd have to go to prison though.
Do you know that?
My flight is at 3 p.m.
I'll let you know when I reach Guangxi.
The shameless really don't give a rat's ass.
Waiter, an extra pair of chopsticks.
Here, eat more.
This person is Bai Li Qin, Luo Yi Ren's boyfriend five years ago.
Get to the point. Talk about Qin Fei.
From clues on Bai Li Qin, it was found this person's name is Zheng Qiu Dong.
Bai Li Qin's junior in college.
In Haidian's business registration system
it was found that he once registered a recruitment agency in December 2007.
I contacted Zheng Qiu Dong's college classmate, Zhang Bo.
According to Zhang Bo
before Luo Yi Ren began dating Bai Li Qin
her boyfriend was this Zheng Qiu Dong.
What a mess.
Why did this guy fabricate an identity?
Who is Qin Fei to him?
No results were found. The investigation is ongoing.
There's no logic to it.
What's strange is why he would forge a Guangxi identity.
Manager Sun, about the Qin Fei in the information you provided
aside from the photo, everything about him is the same as
a Qin Fei here who worked with technology companies.
What?
This morning I commissioned Heli Consulting in Nanning
to look into Qin Fei.
This is their reply.
Manager Sun, about the Qin Fei in the information you provided
aside from the photo, everything about him is the same as
a Qin Fei here who worked with technology companies.
Age, hometown, and birthdate are all the same.
According to the profiles, they were in the same class and same college.
That's impossible
because our Qin Fei here has already passed away.
He's buried in Lingui, his countryside hometown.
If necessary, I can send someone to take a picture of the grave.
At present, we can basically conclude
the Qin Fei on your end is an imposter.
Why?
I don't know.
An impersonation.
Is that fun?
We've come up with many presumptions, but none of them are believable.
What?
Email the video to me immediately.
Okay.
Chairman Meng, this person has been to prison before.
He should be in Hollywood.
My skin is breaking out in goosebumps here.
This is one of the abandoned buildings of the Prison Administration Bureau here.
From the billboards on the wall, you can see some clues to the past.
You'll soon see what you asked me to investigate.
[Third Ward, First Brigade, Second Unit, Zheng Qiu Dong]
Well, Manager Sun? Aren't I awesome?
I have quite the talent in digging up information and gossip, right?
By the way, this guy also earned several certifications in prison.
It was even in the news.
Incarcerated in 2009, released in 2013. Sentence shortened by one year.
How are you going to thank me, Manager Sun?
I'll be back in Beijing. Don't forget!
What nonsense. Idiot.
How should this be handled?
Who is this guy?
A partner in Nanning.
He likes to snoop in private businesses.
Ask him what crime Qin Fei went in for.
What do we do about this Qin Fei? We need a contingency plan.
What for? We have solid proof. Kick him out of here.
It's a shame for you to be in human resources at Valley Group.
To be blunt, you are the deputy chief of personnel.
How much room for advancement could you have?
What I have is a real human resources structure.
I'm going to singlehandedly expand this training institution
and repackage it for the market.
Just like New Oriental did.
You can have shares as well.
And become a partner.
I won't use subordinates to speak with you.
As chairman, I'll speak with you directly.
Moreover, do you know what kind of people our etiquette training attracts?
Flight attendants, models, TV hosts, actresses, and so on.
Beautiful women abound.
Think about it.
The best work environment and a steady flow of what you desire.
Thank you, Class Leader.
Valley treats me very well.
I'm also willing to be loyal to Valley.
You offer shares and beautiful girls here.
Those are very attractive.
I can only say that I'm sorry to decline.
But this won't be the last you see of me.
Don't be so quick to decide.
You should consider all factors.
There aren't that many for me to consider.
I do have one principle: who came first.
Valley came first. I can't drop my principles for my own interests.
All right.
I wish you boundless prospects at Valley.
Thank you.
Zheng Qiu Dong, as in Qin Fei
was sentenced to five and a half years of prison in 2009
for organizing and promoting MLM schemes.
Owing to outstanding conduct in prison
his sentence was reduced twice and he was released in 2013.
In his early years, he was in the cordyceps business
and later opened a recruitment agency.
He was an expert motivational speaker in topics such as success.
He was well-known in the field.
Moreover, the Qin Fei who had helped Chairman Ju
was indeed the deceased Qin Fei.
This is odd. Why am I not sweating?
Just relax and let me take care of your future.
Roughly three years for one phase.
I'll plan it out for you.
Among these few high-rises
there is a secret passageway that reaches the stars.
I know where the entrance is.
You'll rise up the ranks and your salary will double.
Trust me.
Actually, there's nothing good about making rising so high.
What are you saying?
Law of survival. Remember this.
The higher the position, the better.
[Two new messages from Xiong Qing Chun]
[Qin Fei, I've reached Nanning. Xiong Qing Chun.]
From a woman?
If you need to take off, just go.
I don't.
If I become successful
any tiny flaw will be magnified.
Then others will latch on to them and criticize me.
So what if they find something?
Besides, what weak spot would you possibly have?
I can't see any.
Everybody has minor shortcomings.
Just don't focus on them excessively.
If you have a date, just go. Don't worry about me.
I really don't.
Life can still go on if some things are discovered.
However, there are certain things that when discovered
everything must be reset to zero and you must start over again.
Are you in some kind of trouble?
No.
Call it a sixth sense.
It feels as if something has happened.
Sometimes, I get unexplainable apprehensions.
You have no friends.
No money? Go to the bank.
Sick? See a doctor.
Why do I need friends?
What's this? That sounds so negative.
You must have encountered some problem.
You want to talk to someone
but you still don't trust me enough.
You're undecided about whether you can tell me or not.
I'm really not.
I just have inexplicable concerns.
It's nothing. I'll be fine in the morning.
Remember this.
Today's Valley Group is the best position for you.
They're about to take on the U.S. market.
As long as you keep this position
your future will be priceless.
I will.
I like this job already.
[Xiong Qing Chun: How come you haven't added me on WeChat?]
So damn shameless.
What's wrong?
Garbage text.
[Allowance Calculation Sheet]
[Xiong Qing Chun: voice message]
Qin Fei, am I a Maleficent in your eyes?
You don't reply to my texts and don't add me on WeChat.
Aren't you afraid that Xiong Qing Chun will one day
want to pay you back but can't find you?
I've decided I'm just borrowing this money from you.
I will pay you back later.
I only resorted to taking this
because I desperately needed money for an emergency.
Sorry.
I suddenly realized how kind I am.
Hurry up and add me on WeChat.
Mr. Qin Fei.
Manager Sun said to have you go directly to Vice Chairman Song's office.
Vice Chairman Song?
She said Vice Chairman Song?
Yes.
This is your letter of commitment.
You pledged your loyalty to the company.
Have you accomplished that?
Vice Chairman Song.
I will achieve what I have promised.
Anti-counterfeiting can be forged.
Lies can replace promises.
Are you content with living this way?
Vice Chairman Song, if there's anything I've done wrong--
You've lied.
A pack of lies.
You betrayed the company's trust in you.
I have done some wrongs.
T... That was in the past.
After I joined the company
I have not done anything to betray the company.
You are a liar.
Do you admit to that?
What do you mean by that?
Is the cat-and-mouse game that much fun, Zheng Qiu Dong?
Valley's Investigative Division isn't just for decoration.
This is information a Guangxi prison provided.
This was provided by Su, a female coworker of yours
when you were in multi-level marketing, MLM.
There is also information provided by Qin Fei's classmates and fiancee.
His fiancee is a swindler.
She's a blackmailer.
At this point, I don't need to say more.
What you need to do is pack up your things.
Okay.
I'll go pack my things now.
But, Vice Chairman Song, I want to explain.
All the wrongs I've done were from before I joined Valley.
After coming here, I have not been the slightest bit remiss.
I knew the truth would come out sooner or later.
I would be exposed one day.
I hoped this day would take a little longer to come.
I wanted to do more for the company.
I wanted my coworkers to see my abilities and contributions
and be able to forgive my past offenses.
I love Valley.
Even though I haven't been here long, I already felt I belonged here.
You were wrong about us.
Yes, contributions are important to us
but they are far incomparable to moral character.
I have high moral standards.
Concealing my disgraceful past was to protect my moral character.
The wrongs I committed
really were for the pursuit of perfection.
How do you explain the MLM?
That was a crime.
It was wrong through and through. I won't try to defend myself.
On this, why aren't you speaking of perfect moral character?
From the very beginning, I was not aware I was committing a crime.
By the time I realized, I could no longer stop.
Why couldn't you?
For a relationship, I needed money.
I had guessed so.
Because of a relationship.
Take a look at yourself.
Now look at her.
Don't you think you were the biggest fool?
Your name will be entered into the human resources blacklist.
This is the price you will pay.
I will also tell you
your life will be even harder from now on.
Pack up your things.
You're on your own now.
Are you okay?
I...
I'm fine.
Hurry up.
You're lucky Chairman Meng just went to the restroom
or else we'd all be in big trouble.
Hurry and get a printout.
Hey!
Chairman, Chairman.
I've been dismissed.
I betrayed your trust.
Take care.
You have a long road ahead of you.
Can you listen to me for a bit?
It was a mistake to pose as Qin Fei.
It was also a mistake to hide my past.
But please believe that I just want to be someone with a clean past.
This is very easy for others
but for me, I have no more chances.
I had no better option, Chairman.
My identity is fake.
My resume is also fake.
But the efforts I've invested were real.
Chairman.
This is the allowance calculation sheet I spent all night revising.
And look.
My suit and shirt were ironed the night before.
I wished from the bottom of my heart to leave my best impression.
I know none of this came easy.
Please give me another chance.
- Chairman! - Wait.
No matter how well you perform
it's not enough to change the company's decision.
Who would dare keep someone who lied to the chairman's face?
This company's history is glorious.
You tarnished it.
How could you be so bold?
You even came running into the restroom.
I can leave, Chairman.
Please have mercy.
Don't place my name into the human resources blacklist.
Just treat me like I am. A small, pitiful animal set free.
Shameless!
Do you want me to go to hell with you?
How could you even ask that?
I have absolutely no faith in your moral character anymore.
We have a responsibility to let everyone know
what kind of person you are!
How is that possible? Are you making that up?
Do you still want to hear the rest?
If you don't believe me, forget it.
This is a true story that happened to someone I know.
Doesn't it sound like gossip?
I really don't know what to think.
Who creates a fake identity in a modern workplace?
Our boss was furious.
This person you're talking about must be pretty stupid.
That's not true.
He's quite smart and civilized. He doesn't look like he's been to prison.
Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's open another bottle.
Are you serious now?
If you drink too much, just stay over.
I have work tomorrow morning.
The fraud is gone.
I'll definitely have much more work to shoulder.
Your house's renovations turned out really well.
It's all right.
I forgot my keys. Wait for me.
Manager Sun.
Qin Fei? What do you want?
I'm not Qin Fei.
My name is Zheng Qiu Dong. You know that.
Don't be nervous.
What happened today had nothing to do with you.
It's in the past.
I don't harbor any complaints. I ought to reap what I sow.
I'll just ask you one thing.
Go ahead.
What first gave rise to suspicions about me?
You still don't know?
Of course I do!
I just want confirmation from you.
You know very well which woman you've had contact with lately.
It really was her.
Who's driving you?
You.
[Flight from Beijing to Nanning]
Watch where you're going!
[Nanning, Guangxi]
[Qing Chun Employment Agency]
Parking fee collector.
No academic prerequisites and a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan.
- I pay 50 yuan first? - Yes.
Time to eat chicken, chicken!
We're closed. We'll reopen at 1:30 p.m.
We work the hours of a civil servant here.
The Labor Law, Article 36 and 37--
This is the recording of your blackmail.
Bank transfer record of 200,000 yuan.
Are you turning yourself in or should I call the police?
We had an agreement.
Agreement?
Then why did you report me to my company?
What? Who reported whom?
Stop acting! Stop pretending.
I was fired as soon as you took the money and left.
Who else could it have been?
I reported you? Why would I need to?
You came all the way here from Beijing to take this out on me?
Is something wrong with you? What's in it for me if I tell on you?
Money, of course!
Taking money from both sides?
I swear I never even thought of getting money from Valley.
I do have morals!
You?
What now?
Wait--
You have the guts to blackmail someone just released from prison.
Is there any money you wouldn't touch?
I... If I knew you'd done time before...
Forget blackmailing you.
I wouldn't even dare talk to you.
