[Game of Hunting]
[Episode 14]
Hello?
GM Xiong?
Oh, uh...
The headhunter, Mr. Lin, asked to meet for dinner tonight.
Again? What did you say?
I said I'd have to ask for instruction.
Ask Chairman Zheng. Why are you telling me?
Didn't you tell me to report back to you if anyone makes an appointment with him?
Hui Cheng Gong, let me repeat.
You moron! I said woman! Report to me if a woman wants to meet him!
A moment of stupidity.
I'm a moron.
Stop pretending to be dumb.
You didn't call for me, did you?
I did, GM Xiong!
There are police. I'm going to hang up.
Does Hui Cheng Gong like you?
Listen for yourself.
This doesn't count as invasion of privacy.
I'm letting you hear it.
Let's go watch a movie tonight at a theater near your place.
Beat it.
The two of them are being intimate in the living room.
I don't have anywhere to go.
How about a late night snack? My treat.
The brat even mentioned us?
Beat it.
I can't believe you.
I'll be driving. You won't have to do anything.
I don't believe staying at home is fun.
Private use of company vehicle.
Beat it.
When did this start?
He began hitting on me before I started working here.
You knew each other before?
After the interview
he called me to talk about main points for the second round of interviews.
Bull! We don't have a second round!
How was I to know back then?
So he asked you out?
Did you go?
I said, "Beat it."
Well done.
Women need to remain detached and make it hard for them.
Now that Chief Xia's was fired, everyone around him is panicking.
Everybody's on the "three noes policy."
No going out, no seeing people, no picking up the phone.
There's no news at all.
What we can be certain of is Chief Xia's secretary, Xian He
his brother-in-law, Qin Zheng Yi, and Luo Yi Ren
have all been taken in.
How many days has it been?
Tuesday 2 weeks ago. It's been 19 days.
If they're just assisting with the investigation, they should be out.
Who says?
It's only been two weeks.
It's an investigation, not a tea party.
They're all in the middle of the scandal. They won't be let off so easily.
It all hinges on
if Luo Yi Ren carried out illegal activities while running Zhong Bao Media.
It's not important either way.
Maybe the origins of Zhong Bao were questionable to begin with.
Such a large company just sprung up out of nothing.
Where did Luo Yi Ren get so much money?
State-owned projects line up to work with her.
For what motive?
Valley was lucky.
Before listing on the NYSE
they were still in merger talks with Zhong Bao.
Luckily, that didn't pan out.
Word through the grapevine is
Chairman Meng received Luo Yi Ren's hint of trouble up ahead.
Soon after, Valley announced the merger failed.
I saw a rumor like that online.
If the merger had been successful...
Luo Yi Ren would have harmed Valley.
I think it's not that the merger talks weren't successful
but that she foresaw this and withdrew.
Yi Ren is very loyal to friends.
Oh?
It seems you're attuned to Luo Yi Ren and it's remote sensing.
Our guy in charge of finance back at headquarters said
he's certain Luo Yi Ren got wind of Chief Xia's looming plight beforehand.
She reckoned she was doomed
and thus, rightly turned down Meng Zi Jing.
Our director said she rightly turned him down.
You said she foresaw and stayed loyal.
It seems those are the facts.
Great minds think alike.
No matter how good Luo Yi Ren is at business
she wouldn't be one to be corrupted by money.
When I was at my lowest, she helped me out twice with money.
They weren't small amounts.
That's normal considering the relationship between you two.
No.
Do you think friends and family will always help when you're in need?
You're too naive.
It's often the opposite now.
Fall out and become enemies and see how superficial relationships are.
Luo Yi Ren isn't someone like that.
She is someone who shares her wealth when she has the means.
Looks like the saucy and passionate Xiong Qing Chun
still can't chase away Luo Yi Ren from his heart.
Lin Bai, you know this.
Xiong Qing Chun is in my heart
but that doesn't hinder me from assessing Luo Yi Ren.
My contacts in Beijing are null now.
I don't know who I should ask either.
Help me find news of her. I am worried.
I will.
I'm also interested in them.
There's a piece of business I want you to consider.
No need to reply back to me within the week.
Your appearance always brings the unusual changes.
GM Xiong, it's just the two of them.
They're talking agreeably.
- Have you eaten yet? - Yes.
Have you? Do you need me to bring something back for you?
No, I've also eaten.
Okay, bye.
This originates from an immigration consultancy firm.
They found Vice Chairman Yuan.
In other words...
My third-party supplementary salary is from this immigration consultancy?
Correct.
It was confidential at the time.
It's no longer a secret now?
It's not, but it's still your private matter.
I understand.
I'm also working for this intermediary immigration consultancy
but in secret...
while my work for Bank of the Mediterranean is public.
That's a clear understanding.
I also thought the third-party supplement was because of taxes.
It seems I was wrong.
Not entirely.
This is just an ingenious business move.
This company wouldn't pay me for nothing. Is it the time to reveal everything now?
That's exactly what I want to talk to you about, Qiu Dong.
Go on.
This immigration consultancy's parent company has powerful connections.
You're aware that information and data are vital in the service industries.
They want me to steal data from Bank of the Mediterranean.
Since you've beaten me to the chase...
I'll save the preamble and start from the middle.
I can responsibly say to you
there is a lot of data in
the Bank of the Mediterranean database you're in charge of
some of which was also stolen from elsewhere.
Institutions of this kind have all done similar acts.
"Steal" is clearly not the right word.
Let's use this word for now though.
When data from each institution is gathered together
it's called a platform.
In the consumer services scheme of things
information, figures, and data
pass through many hands in many rigorous and standardized institutions.
It grows as it moves around and becomes inseparable.
This is a good thing for the client.
It means the more plentiful data is on a hidden level
the more the service team expands.
The bad thing is
when this data ends up in the hands of unlawful users
it becomes a scandal.
You've seen the "March 15 Gala" special before?
The information of 150 million high-end consumers
flies around in the air like dandelions.
Those who truly work on the industry's platform
are all solemn and connected on a deep level.
Of course, it is also a common sight.
If it's not stealing, then what would my actions be considered?
Sharing of resources.
Data transfer.
That is not strong enough to convince me.
Then that can only mean
you still have a fixed convention of right and wrong in your mind.
Sorry. I have to tell you your conventions are too old-fashioned.
It's not appropriate to apply to today's economic law.
Taking one set of data and transferring it to another place
is something that happens every second in today's business world.
It's just like corporate espionage.
You're outdated, Qiu Dong.
What did you say?
Corporate espionage?
What you are about to do will not cause any harm to anyone
only more service potential.
How is it espionage?
A student who receives an offer from Columbia University
is given a hard time by the visa officer and does not get a visa in the end.
One day, he suddenly receives a call from a stranger
telling him to hurry to the consulate to get his visa in time for school.
Do you know who made the call?
Do you know where they got the student's information?
Doesn't the institution that helped him deserve to have more information?
Lin Bai, don't get worked up. How did the conversation take this turn?
You said all this just to tell me
there are noble reasons for stealing.
Let me ask you. Was the institution that helped the student a charity?
Do they not charge a fee?
Not a charity. Of course they charge fees.
These services have a cost.
It's just like how others pay you money.
You're saying this to make me believe
that when I steal this information--
when I transfer this information, I'm doing a good thing.
Would the owner of that data think the same?
In the end, yes.
I'm telling it like it is.
Take time to think about it.
There's no clear line between right and wrong.
I know, Lin Bai.
Moral reasoning sometimes isn't suitable for use in business.
Business to business dealings are a contract with profit first.
There are no just or unjust parties.
If I help this intermediary carry out data transfers
that is illegal, isn't it?
You're not breaking the law.
You're under a dispatch contract from New Jin Cheng.
If anyone's breaking the law, it's them.
You'd just be violating Bank of the Mediterranean's regulations.
I understand now.
Leaving a loophole to protect me.
Let's put this aside now.
Always leave leeway.
Let's talk about this another day.
I believe you've already given up on your strictly black and white judgment.
Consider it.
Lastly, you can listen to the offer, right?
I said you don't need to reply to me within the week.
Okay.
30 percent of 600,000 yuan.
For me?
How much are your employment agency's annual profits?
Lin Bai, I'm working at the bank to gain experience.
I never imagined I would become a chess piece.
Don't be so dramatic.
If you like your job at the bank, you can keep doing it.
Nobody will stop you.
Even if someone somewhere else sees the data you transferred
it would be buried in a sea of other data.
Even if you drip a drop of milk into a pool of water
it will disappear without a trace in a flash.
Clients scattered throughout the world
will enjoy the services that come to their doors.
Of course, there's a fee.
Your argument still isn't powerful enough.
It hasn't completely fired up my courage.
Not completely?
Then you are a bit tempted.
Prometheus. You can understand that, right?
In all the different translated versions around the world
he steals the fire.
If the word "stole" is replaced with a nicer word such as "acquire"
then it must be an inaccurate interpretation, no?
What are you laughing at?
Seeing you act like you're taking this seriously...
reminds me of my past self.
Goodbye, sir.
Think about what I said.
I'm leaving.
Follow him and see where he goes.
Let's get married.
Okay.
But we still don't have enough money to buy a house.
Who cares?
Chairman Zheng, I'm back.
Hi, GM Xiong.
He went to the Fortune Building.
He didn't return to his residence?
No.
Good.
As long as he didn't say no
that means he's not the type of person you said he is.
What type?
Overly suspicious and fearful.
This is what your report said.
Zheng Qiu Dong isn't someone with meticulous thoughts
but he possesses basic characteristics of an entrepreneur with higher education.
He is one with an atypical mind.
His thinking is less professional and more dishonest.
He went to Nepal for a mushroom business
and MLM in Guangxi.
He ventured to Beijing's CBD with a fake identity.
These incomprehensible and bizarre actions
have caused him to suffer many hardships.
He is now abnormally prudent
for fear of repeating past mistakes.
It can even be said that he is overly suspicious and fearful.
You think my report isn't accurate enough
and is inconsistent with the truth?
Yes, everybody is the recipient of compromise.
From the common folk to political leaders
everybody is the same on the inside.
Take a walk around the market and squeeze into a bus.
No matter how self-disciplined and virtuous
one will still think, "Why should it be like this?"
Everything I said was true. Nothing was a lie.
Although he didn't say no, he didn't say yes either.
He's still extremely cautious.
Calling him overly suspicious is not an exaggeration at all.
Then according to what you say
having him copy client data won't be happening.
You can make a conclusion already?
50 percent chance it's not happening.
Lin Bai, you...
Someone at headquarters said you're the devil incarnate.
I think you're pedantic.
Why can't you say it's a 50 percent chance of hope?
If you end up under Saul, you'll be lectured every day.
He'll rage at you and say, "We must cheer for ourselves!"
"We must feel good about ourselves!"
I don't think it's Saul who feels good about himself.
It's you.
Whatever you want to say.
What was his reaction after you told him the amount?
It should be said that once the number was in the air, he was somewhat tempted
but he didn't say anything.
That's the right direction.
Looks like he is still a normal man.
A suspicious person would have jumped up and yelled,"No!"
He's no stranger to money.
Let's not talk about the 180,000 yuan yet.
Let's talk about the information leaking.
If it were a few years ago
people would freak out when they heard about a data leak.
That could be pardoned. They didn't understand and were ignorant.
But now, what's the big deal?
Who knows how many people have had their hands on our data?
Have we incurred any losses?
I haven't.
Even if others use that data
it'll just amount to a few extra troublesome phone calls.
The pros still outweigh the cons.
More pros than cons? What pros?
Sharing of resources.
We only get to become resources. We don't get to share.
Share with people we can't see or hear?
Do we share with them when they have made no promises to us?
I'll give you all the benefits and take all the harm.
How could I accept that?
What are you thinking, Xiong Qing Chun?
I thought you were smarter than that.
Do you know Kevin Yang? He does something similar.
Stealing in England?
Here's another report.
I couldn't hear clearly after they went to their room.
Anyway, they're still arguing.
Chairman Zheng said he doesn't want to be a spy.
That shocked me.
Who could he be a spy for?
Want to come out for a late night snack?
Don't spies infiltrate enemy organizations?
Is Chairman Zheng a police officer?
Police? Impossible.
But it's highly likely he had a hidden motive for working at the bank.
This is getting intense.
Come on. Let's go out to eat.
Beat it.
Kevin Yang?
Yang Kai Wen?
Your mysterious boyfriend is actually in this line of business?
Don't look down on this field.
There is a decent side to it.
It's CI (competitive intelligence) and BI (business intelligence).
It's simply gathering intelligence.
Most of these companies in the UK are mid-level and mainly analyze data.
A few companies have reached high-end CI
and have begun data mining.
Kevin Yang said Chinese companies are a bit behind the times
and the majority are stuck reporting statistics.
Competitive intelligence?
There are people doing this in China?
I'm interested.
What does Kevin Yang do specifically?
Analyst, pretty high rank.
He said they're capable of obtaining data from various sorts of institutions.
I don't know what method they use.
It's highly confidential.
He could be working on
bank transactions, patents, or all sorts of meeting minutes.
I'm guessing the data is obtained from countless people like you.
It's not harmful to individuals or society.
This is all just research material.
It has been a long time since it was anything more than research.
It looks like you're in support of taking this job.
You didn't even hesitate to use your boyfriend as an example.
You need to be open, you know?
You need modern thinking, okay?
I understand.
I'm old-fashioned. He's modern.
There's no point in saying that.
180,000 yuan.
That doesn't come easy.
That's what you truly think.
Well, it's true.
180,000 yuan is enough to pay for
10 percent of the house we saw today.
I've finished checking the building's security monitoring system.
I'll check the ninth floor in a bit.
Julian.
Perfect. Come.
AP's chairman is making a last-minute trip to Hawaii.
The Sumitomo project may have to be reopened.
I'm to be the translator.
I'm leaving this afternoon and returning next week.
- What do you need me to do? - It's like this.
The Franco-Austrian Trade Consortium sent a representative.
Yes, the one you picked up from the airport.
- Ms. Smith. - Yes.
The Consortium is currently
developing a new set of financial products with our bank.
This is not to be released to the public yet.
Ms. Smith is in talks with the bank president.
There's a document of projected values in my computer.
She needs to see it tomorrow.
You will stay with her as she reads it.
Read only. No copies.
I'll accompany her.
Accompany and supervise.
Keys to my office.
I will text you my computer password and document title at 9 a.m. tomorrow.
- Manager Zheng. - Morning.
Bureau Chief Shen, you can be confident.
Our country has checks and balances in this regard.
France has the Prudential Supervision and Resolution Authority.
It will supervise all payment institutions.
The committee you mentioned
should be clearly indicated on the registration form
so my son can see it at a glance.
Look at the bottom left of the third page.
ACPR is the abbreviation of the name.
Oh, it's here.
Thank you.
- You're welcome. - Goodbye.
Stop playing. Let's go.
Louis, you could've come by yourself. You didn't have to trouble your mom.
She wanted to.
Thank you. Goodbye.
I'm at work.
Let's have lunch.
Is someone else there?
Yes.
My superior wants to see you.
Okay. Not for too long though.
Here. Okay.
Bring over the light.
Yes, Ma'am!
[High-ranking government official fired, Xia Ji Guo being investigated.]
[Xia Ji Guo's wife]
[Xia Ji Guo, Luo Yi Ren]
[Search]
Allow me to introduce you.
This is Mr. Zheng Qiu Dong of Bank of the Mediterranean.
This is my superior
Vice Chairman of Te Hui's Hangzhou offices, Vice Chairman Yuan Kun.
Vice Chairman Yuan.
We seem to have met before somewhere.
Good memory. We have met before. It was during New Jin Cheng's interview.
Why were you there that day?
Business investigation.
Have a seat.
Smile.
Two, three.
- Next. - Fill this out.
Look here.
Lift your head.
Okay, one, two.
[Zhong Bao Media]
[Search]
[Legal Consultant]
[Attorney: Zhong Huai Lan]
Someone investigated your bank's internal LAN.
Please enjoy.
The conclusion is that by means of a series of unremarkable links
the data can be deposited to one location.
You don't have to worry about the rest.
I can have someone teach you the steps.
No trace will be left behind.
To tell the truth, the money does tempt me somewhat.
But I'm not convinced yet.
Mr. Zheng, you know very well some people seize the opportunity for development.
They avail themselves of a superior post.
Others avail themselves of a superior position.
Just like you now.
We can convince your employer to increase your remuneration accordingly.
It seems nobody thinks it's worth taking this seriously.
Am I being too obstinate, Chairman Yuan?
I've suffered hardships.
No matter what I do
I act under the assumption that I can be discovered.
I don't want to do things that I fear will be discovered.
Fear of discovery doesn't mean it is bad.
Besides, there are things in this world that must never be discovered by others.
Confidentiality is the norm in business.
We can protect you, your secrets, and your salary.
Intellectual property rights, business contracts
credit codes, and passwords
are all things that mustn't be discovered.
It's the same with business strategy. That must not be discovered.
We respect confidentiality awareness
as well as the rule of finding any means to attain what we desire.
I think we should let him come to the decision himself.
We shouldn't be talking about these philosophies, we should talk about trust.
But to be honest, Qiu Dong
this sort of thing happens all the time in business circles all over the world.
In the near future, it will become a righteous sharing mechanism.
Right now, you can get 180,000 yuan or more in return.
What about in the future?
It may become an obligation free of charge.
The links you mentioned will leave a trace.
They definitely will.
A flash drive is out of the question.
The internal network is prohibited, and USB has memory.
Yes.
But an authorized USB can have access.
How will the payment be paid out?
How do you want it paid out?
You'll give me cash?
Okay, a one-time payment.
Let me think about it some more.
Come on!
Fill out the forms and turn them in to me.
Then go get your picture taken.
Listen, fill out the form I'm holding.
Ask me if you have any questions.
Okay, line up properly.
Hello, is this Mei Lan Law Firm?
Yes, who are you looking for?
I'm looking for Ms. Zhong Huai Lan.
Who are you?
I am from Zhejiang television station's entertainment department.
I'd like to seek advice from Ms. Zhong Huai Lan about a few things.
Hello, are you Ms. Zhong Huai Lan?
Yes. Who are you?
I am from Zhejiang television station's entertainment department.
My name is He Xue Qin.
We have a contract with Zhong Bao Media on a collaboration for a gala.
Preparation should be underway
but our preparation crew can't reach Zhong Bao Media's Chairwoman Luo Yi Ren.
We found your law firm's number through their website.
I thought I'd call and ask
how we can reach Chairwoman Luo.
She has not been feeling well lately and won't be taking any calls.
The company's operations have been handed over to Xue Lu, the deputy chairman.
I had a verbal agreement with Chairwoman Luo on a few things
so someone else may not be familiar with the situation.
May I ask when Chairwoman Luo will be available?
Sorry, that's not part of our work, so I'm not sure.
This is a law firm.
For advice on specific matters
please contact Zhong Bao Media's offices.
Goodbye.
Wait! I want to ask what Chairwoman Luo is sick with?
What would you do with that information?
Nothing. I just wanted to go to Beijing to pay her a visit.
You weren't telling me the truth. Chairwoman Luo isn't sick, is she?
I didn't tell you
because you didn't tell me your real identity either.
Who are you?
I told you earlier.
I want to talk to you on a video call.
Can I add you on WeChat?
You win.
Afterward, if you wish to stay at Bank of the Mediterranean
Te Hui will be willing to take over your case.
New Jin Cheng is too small, after all.
We can design future development plans for you.
We know about the executive chef position you helped Liepin fulfill.
On par with professionals.
You know about that?
It seems a lot has happened in secret.
Te Hui is a headhunting giant.
My case isn't worth mentioning.
[Xiong Qing Chun]
Excuse me.
What is it?
Do you know something happened to Luo Yi Ren?
Wasn't she in a relationship with Xia Ji Guo?
Xia Ji Guo is involved in a big scandal.
She won't be able to distance herself from that.
Their company even deleted her profile from their website.
It just happened.
I'm busy.
Please stop mentioning her to me.
Don't blame me for always calling you foolish.
Why do you keep bringing her up?
I...
Fine, I'm just wretched like that. Okay?
This seemed important.
Forget it.
I'm going to the spa with Jia tonight.
We got vouchers. You can figure out dinner yourself. Bye.
Wait!
Don't call me foolish again.
My wife.
Does Xiong Qing Chun know about this?
What?
You mean the bank?
My guess is you told her.
Yes, I discussed it with her.
She approved?
She sees it the same way you do.
She thinks stealing data is no big deal.
Women are intuitive beings.
You should trust her.
All right.
I'll try.
Hello, are you Section Chief Fang Yue?
I am.
I am Mei Lan Law Firm's Zhong Huai Lan, Luo Yi Ren's lawyer.
Follow me.
- It's been a long while. - It's been a long while.
I don't have a mirror.
I must look haggard.
No. Aloof.
You're still like a goddess.
Hearing that here...
It's grating to the ear.
I didn't think we'd meet again in a place like this.
Life is unpredictable.
Luckily, your situation hasn't changed.
I've asked around.
You're still assisting with the investigation.
Yi Ren.
Thank you for your trust and for letting me be your lawyer.
Don't be so polite.
Life is unpredictable.
- You've read the materials? - I have.
I was shocked. I thought I read wrong.
What do you mean?
You didn't marry Xia Ji Guo.
I never told anyone I was married to him. That was just a rumor spread by others.
I know how many people hope I marry him.
I was dumbstruck.
In the spouse section, it's still Zou Xu Ping, first spouse.
You fooled everybody. What happened?
Simple.
Before I met Xia Ji Guo, he brought up divorce to his wife.
Zou Xu Ping is a woman who gets her way.
She locked herself in her room, crying for three days.
After taking a generous amount of his assets, she divorced him.
Guess what happened afterward?
She was worthy of being a high official of the finance bureau.
She knows her numbers.
The day after the divorce, she wanted to remarry
saying she regretted it.
She took took pills and wanted to commit suicide, but was saved by her daughter.
She saved the fuss for after the divorce
so she could have both the person and the money.
Yes.
Take the assets during the divorce and then get back together.
That was trying her luck. What if they didn't remarry?
That's why she's a very capable person.
Zou Xu Ping came to me.
She said she had evidence of Xia accepting bribes
taking secret shares of mining enterprises
and transferring the assets abroad.
He would go down before the next day.
She made me persuade Xia Ji Guo to remarry her.
Next, her daughter came to see me.
They were the perfect pair.
They made me lose hope of marrying him.
Her mother would fight to the death for her and the family.
At the time, their divorce was reported to related departments.
The news slowly spread.
Xia was on the brink of promotion and in the middle of an investigation.
He couldn't afford for Zou Xu Ping to rock the boat.
If Zou Xu Ping hadn't caused all that commotion
would you have married him?
