[Game of Hunting]
[Episode 16]
Your resignation has been approved.
You can just head to Personnel later and sign a form.
Headquarters greatly admires
your sincerity in admitting you were sent here on a mission
and helping the bank avoid losses.
So what should I do?
According to company regulations, you must leave.
However, headquarters wants to award you with a certificate of excellence
to foster your professional spirit for loyalty, honesty, and trustworthiness.
Chairman Margery will sign it
and Gaston himself will present it to you.
It's complicated now.
Thank you, Mr. Gaston.
Thank you, Mr. Bi Yi Jie.
No, no, Julian.
In this important moment, you should speak in your mother tongue.
We can all understand.
Okay.
Thank you, President Gaston.
Thank you, Mr. Bi Yi Jie.
And thank you for your applause.
As I've matured, there were times I have been lost.
There were times I could not distinguish between honor and humiliation.
But luckily, in the end, I found my bearings
and was determined to be someone who can distinguish honor and disgrace.
To the best of my knowledge...
This certificate
has over 50 years of history in the Bank of the Mediterranean.
At present, the number of recipients of this award just passed 300.
I am number 302.
I know it is not an award for my contributions.
Instead, it is a reward for
not betraying you for my own interests.
But today, very few people receive awards for that now.
This is common practice.
However, I don't want to blindly follow the crowd.
Thank you to headquarters for recognizing my values.
My understanding of this award is that
headquarters has given me a career highlight
so I can have a good resume after I leave and be able to find a new job quickly.
Thank you for your compassion.
Thank you, headquarters.
Thank you all.
What have you told the bank?
Don't worry.
I won't betray you and the one behind you.
Who sent me, who to give the data to...
And the money I would've received were all things I didn't mention.
I didn't want to use these as spoils of war
seeking reward from the bank.
It's enough to have a clear conscience.
Foreign banks have records for credibility.
I'm afraid of implicating Te Hui.
Yuan Kun should be grateful to you.
I didn't explain on the phone last time.
Actually, I truly respect you for deciding to give up.
Many people desire to be loyal but very few actually act that way.
Even though I was persuading you to steal
I do not harbor any complaints now.
Thank you for understanding.
How is Vice Chairman Yuan?
Naturally, he is displeased.
For someone on his level to have failed to control a small fry like you
and even had the immigration consultancy pay you tens of thousands of yuan
it hurts his pride.
But as far as I know, in the headhunting industry
this sort of theft and deceit is prohibited in the industry.
At least for regulated companies like the major five
these methods are disdained.
He is helping a friend.
It is a personal job outside of Te Hui.
By the way, I ran into Xiong Qing Chun at Times Square yesterday.
- We talked about you a bit. - Me?
It must have been complaints.
You're wrong. Not a word of complaint.
She cared a lot about your feelings
and was afraid I would misunderstand her and make you unhappy.
She was cautiously explaining herself.
She cherishes you like she would chinaware.
My wife has never treated me that way.
Really? I've never met your wife.
You don't talk about her much either.
Her?
She's very busy.
My wife's friend had news.
Zhong Bao Media has been acquired by a public company.
Due to Xia Ji Guo's negative influence
Luo Yi Ren resigned as chairwoman two months ago.
No news of whether she's alive or dead?
Alive or dead?
It's not that serious.
She's not in that much trouble.
It's said she was under intense investigation for a while
but nothing was found.
Is that true?
She should seek a master to see about her fortune.
She's had such a tragic life.
She hasn't found a reliable man.
Each one worse than the last.
Thank you.
What I lack
isn't good luck
but a calm mind.
Another start.
A new beginning.
I hope the wind will take me home.
Are you praying?
Huai Lan.
Am I still here?
Am I still who I was originally?
Let's go. The car's waiting.
Long hair, tendrils of loneliness, as if you are gazing at me.
What's the matter?
Reminiscing recounts eyes resembling the clouds.
This love affair...
Yi Ren, what's wrong?
How is this possible?
Did somebody arrange this?
This love affair, the past and present.
You need to rest in a quiet place.
Come home with me.
This love affair.
This girl I await.
Her crystal-clear silhouette
translucent and sparkling helplessly.
Where could he be?
Who?
That man.
He should be at the Judicial Bureau. No visits.
I wasn't talking about him.
Qing Chun.
Our business's three-month trend...
Listen to me.
Look at that beautiful smile. Are you that happy counting money?
Very.
Beauty is a lover's gift.
Know who said that?
No. Who said it?
I forgot.
What were you saying?
I wanted to say...
I lost my train of thought.
In the past three months
the trend of growth is not only reflected in revenue
but more importantly, the quality of our clients has elevated.
We have less nannies, security guards, janitors, deliverers, and couriers now.
We're beginning to see marketing personnel
online store managers, pawnshop managers, and customs brokers.
These are much more professional.
This month was amazing.
The orders you guys brought in, with e-commerce
government branches, and public state enterprises.
Impressive.
Let me give you an example.
Fu Zhou Hua Qiang Electromechanical Co., an IC validation engineer.
And it's out of this province.
Qing Chun.
For you and Jia to have completed this order
you must have had to have a certain understanding of the profession
and know the background and current situation of this position.
Not just that.
I also had to know the status of the person's divorce property division
and his three-year health records.
The boss at Hua Qiang is so picky.
He even wanted to know about astrological sign and allergies.
It was so hard to find the right person.
This is what I have to say.
When there are changes at work
we need to make the best of it, keep up with the changes
and do our work to the best of our abilities.
Hire again?
Hire someone even more professional?
We need to move our focus to human resources.
A new name and new scope of business.
We'll move into a classy office building
and upgrade to more modern office supplies.
Every person will take an English name. Henry, Jessica, Monica.
Be impeccably dressed and quietly wait at your desks
for clients looking for CEO, CFO, CTO, or CIO positions.
Do suits have to be a three-piece? With a vest?
Of course.
Is it a business or personal expense?
Half and half.
Shut your mouths.
Everything you said costs money.
Money earned is meant to be spent.
In that case, then I think we should purchase another car.
Buy a business car and hire a driver.
If you're going to have dealings with high-end professionals
you'll have to look the part
even though we still operate on a small scale.
Your age is showing.
We don't have to care about being embarrassed.
Our trustworthiness is more important than anything else, no?
Is this about how embarrassment?
A car is necessary in our work.
Is doing business in a suit the same as in a t-shirt?
First impressions are important in business.
I'm talking to you about professionalism!
Why don't you ask Jia and Hui
how much time they spend outside the office?
Do they spend more time in the office or outside?
If they take the car, what will you do if you need it?
What if I do?
A car should be our first line of business.
The priority should be moving into a high-end office building.
The car problem is easy to take care of.
There are many transportation services with tons of vehicles and good service.
Do you have to buy a car? Can't it wait until next year?
Can't we buy a car this year and wait to move next year?
Why does everything have to go your way?
I don't want to accommodate to you today!
Is a year's profits here the same as in the CBD?
When we have money, you can buy as many cars as you want!
Still going to Taiwan?
Yes.
Beijing Municipal People's Procuratorate.

property totaling 11,325,579 yuan.
The specifics are as follows.
Excuse me. Help us take a picture.
- Okay. - Thank you.
Include the sign up there.
Okay.
Beijing Municipal People's Procuratorate.
The case of defendant Xia Ji Guo on charges of bribery and abuse of power.
The court has held a hearing in accordance with the law.
After deliberations by the collegial bench and judicial committee
a verdict has been reached.
The sentence is as follows.
From 2001 to 2012
defendant Xia Ji Guo, took advantage of his post to seek profit
for Beijing Yong Dong Intl. Ltd. Co.
and Shanghai Hong Yun Fan Corporation...
He also opened up a headhunting firm.
They just moved here, just on the 19th floor.
I've never met this Zheng Qiu Dong.
I've only heard about him from you and Vice Chairman Yuan.
He seems to be a solitary person, like a lone wolf.
He is considered independent, but not a lone wolf.
He doesn't hurt others.
Lone wolf is a figure of speech.
It's not that he harms others.
I know.
Something happened a while back.
A Beijing immigration consultancy
commissioned a small headhunting firm in Hangzhou
to place him in a foreign bank.
The immigration consultancy offered a very high amount
to have him steal client information from the bank.
That would just have meant copying a few Excel files.
Very easy to do.
But he refused.
Refuse to do a bad thing? That's normal.
You believe it is an extraordinary accomplishment?
To young ones today, it is quite amazing.
The premise is with a difficult financial situation
and faced with a large amount of money.
If it were you, would you do it?
If you're going to ask me point-blank, then I can only say
there must be people in the Pentagon and CIA who take documents home.
Take home?
I see.
But I believe you would never take documents home.
Thank you for having trust in me.
Exploitation.
Benefit.
Entice.
Gains and losses.
Chinese is interesting.
How many headhunting firms are in this area?
19 firms yesterday. 20 today.
Zheng Qiu Dong's company is called Deju Renhe.
De Ren for short. (Virtue and benevolence)
Listen to the name. It sounds very Confucian.
When is your new album coming out?
I'll wait and see.
I'm committed to a lot of concerts this year.
Without you, there's nobody to discuss with.
I'm with a new management company.
Frankly, I'm still riding off the success of "A Love Affair."
I bought a house and got a new car.
It reminds me of how kind you and Qiu Dong were.
You can just think of him.
I merely helped you record a new version.
It was normal practice.
You don't know anything about Qiu Dong?
I saw him a long time ago.
Later...
He's surely not in Beijing anymore.
I have to go.
I bought a piano and it's being delivered.
- Take care. - Okay.
He's leaving?
He didn't even say hi to me.
So stuck-up.
He had to go.
You finally saw him in person.
His "A Love Affair" was so popular back then.
Without Zheng Qiu Dong he wouldn't be here today.
I know.
You two were reminiscing.
A shared past.
You and your nonsense.
I'm going to the law firm. Do you want me to bring anything back?
Just bring yourself back.
I think I can.
Bye.
[Te Hui Executive Search, Beijing headquarters]
Hello, Te Hui Executive Search International Consulting.
How can I help you?
Is Mr. Lin Bai there?
I was a client of his.
Mr. Lin Bai has been transferred to the Hangzhou offices.
We can give you the number to the Hangzhou offices.
You can also check their site and look for Mr. Lin Bai.
I'll search. Thank you.
You're welcome. Goodbye.
That smells delicious.
Luo Yi Ren, did you cook all this?
Be my housekeeper.
Are you hiring me?
In a month...
we'll see who's working for who.
I have to go to Yiwu tomorrow to pick up a transcript.
If you've got nothing to do, come with me and get some fresh air.
It's the place to go for small commodities.
Don't coop yourself up all day.
Yiwu is in Zhejiang province, right?
What do you think about going out for a few days?
If we fly to Hangzhou first...
I'll consider it.
- Sorry! There was traffic! - Hi! Welcome back.
That's okay. Where's the car?
Our flight was delayed.
Let's go.
We bought gifts for both of you. No favoritism.
Makeup for you.
Thank you, Boss!
Cheng Gong, we deliberately bought a special local product for you.
Alishan train souvenir t-shirt.
Wear it.
Boss, you clearly play favorites.
She got makeup but I just get a souvenir t-shirt?
What's that attitude?
You get a gift from your boss, you say thanks.
Thank you, Boss!
Do a good job.
This is your room key.
The elevator is over there.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
- Let's go. - All right.
This place looks nice.
It feels okay.
I'll stay here for two days.
You can come here after you're done in Yiwu.
I'll head back to Beijing with you.
What? You're not coming with me?
You're working. What would I do?
I just want to walk around at West Lake and get some fresh air.
If you cut yourself off from the world, you'll be making yourself lonely.
The exact opposite.
I want to break out of this lonely feeling.
Beijing is too stifling, just like the smog.
Help me make a call before you leave to meet someone.
So mysterious? Why aren't you asking them out yourself?
Maybe they think of me as the devil.
I'm afraid of scaring him.
So you had plans for coming to Hangzhou.
I thought you came just for me.
How disappointing.
I did come for you
and to meet someone while I'm here.
Who is it?
Thank you.
Mr. Lin Bai.
Isn't it Chairwoman Luo?
Yes.
I'm sorry for causing you a shock.
Please sit.
Okay. You too.
This is exactly what I was worried about.
That's why I asked a friend to ask you to meet here.
Discussing a project was just a reason she came up with.
Two mochas. Thank you.
In truth, I wanted to see you.
Just yourself?
Yes, my friend has gone to Yiwu.
Please don't mind. She's just very creative.
She made this seem so important.
- I'm not disrupting your plans, am I? - No.
Not at all.
I just came to Hangzhou not too long ago.
I don't have much to do.
Chairwoman Luo, I don't think you should be appearing here at a time like this.
A lot of rumors say...
I was just assisting with the investigation.
It ended long ago.
Rumors aren't to be believed.
I heard Zhong Bao Media's HR Manager Yao that
the company's mid- and senior-level management have nearly all left.
And some were arrested.
The company depended on connections.
Once he fell...
it would just run its course.
Thank you.
Did you come to Hangzhou for new business or for leisure?
Couldn't I have come specifically to pay you a visit?
Please don't. I wouldn't entertain that thought.
Please go ahead and tell me what you need. I will do my best.
Do you have any news on Zheng Qiu Dong?
Who?
Qin Fei.
An MBA at Peking University who was later recruited to Valley by you.
I remember.
Qin Fei is his fake name. His name is Zheng Qiu Dong.
You want to find him?
Yes.
I'm stuck in Beijing, bored and stifled.
I don't want to see anyone and nobody wants to pay me any attention.
I remember Zheng Qiu Dong has experienced this before.
I'm in more dire straits than a vagabond.
Everybody around me has disappeared.
I suddenly thought of those far away.
Actually, he is in Hangzhou.
We meet often.
Really?
What a coincidence.
[Zheng Qiu Dong]
Don't say anything about me.
Pretend you never showed up?
- Back? - I'm back.
Qing Chun bought gifts for your wife. They're all Taiwan specialties.
When will you come by?
Deju Renhe Human Resources Limited Company, De Ren for short?
That could happen anytime.
By the way, I had someone make an oil painting for your new office.
I'll send it over when it's done.
How thoughtful. Thank you in advance.
Let's have dinner tonight.
Today...
I already have plans today. How about another day?
Sure.
I saw an article on Xia Ji Guo in Taiwan's "Apple Daily".
Luo Yi Ren was mentioned.
It was said she wasn't implicated in Xia's case and was already released.
The reporter even said she was seen at the World Trade Center.
Do you think that can be trusted?
Brother...
The news these past two years has been quite accurate.
There's no smoke without fire. It must be reliable news.
I'm in the middle of something. Let's talk later.
You should've said you were busy.
He just returned from Taiwan.
He seemed to have mentioned me.
The media in Taiwan has reported on Xia Ji Guo.
You were mentioned.
What a coincidence. He's in Hangzhou.
How can I find him?
Don't tell him yet that I'm in Hangzhou.
Even if you didn't ask that of me, I would've done so anyway.
You two will have a chance to meet on your own.
No need for me to say anything.
Thank you.
Just leave these simple things to Ma Xiao Hong from now on.
Okay.
It's said there was a poet named Zhuang Heng
during the Warring States period.
Zhuang Heng.
It was a violent and chaotic time.
Cold calls.
It sounds simple.
It's just making a call, but you'll find it's actually very difficult.
Right, Jia Yi Mei?
Yes, Chairman Zheng.
What's difficult about it?
Being doubted and interrogated. It feels like I'm a thief.
Before even speaking with the target candidate
the call is often intercepted by
the front desk, assistants, or secretaries.
There's no way to get through.
Sometimes, we manage to avoid them and reach the target candidate
but then quickly run out of topics.
We would expose ourselves if we continued on.
Sometimes, we have to make up something on the spot.
As time goes, I've gotten used to lying.
Lying makes me nervous, which leads to saying the wrong thing.
It's such an uncomfortable situation.
Ma Xiao Hong.
You must remember what Jia Yi Mei said. You will also experience this.
You must do three things before picking up the phone.
First, the contents of the call need to be written out beforehand.
Without a teleprompter, even Obama would flounder, much less you.
This can ensure that you are fluent and clear in speech
and exhibit a natural confidence.
And not just in the first three sentences.
Second, who is this person?
Do you know the one you're speaking to?
What are their specific duties in the company?
"Specific" means you must do your homework beforehand.
Third, a calm mind.
This is your job and there's nothing shameful about it.
The person on the other end of the line
could be in the middle of a meeting, playing ball, or drinking.
In a word, their mood is unpredictable.
In the beginning, they usually ask a few questions in return.
That's normal.
There's only one key to your response strategy.
Do not let them be fed up with you.
A calm mind is too hard to achieve.
I just start getting nervous.
You feel guilty.
Your subconscious first recognizes you are bothering the other person.
You use imitation, concealment, and lies to speak with them.
Your mind already believes the methods are dishonorable and you feel lowly.
Add in a rookie's nerves, it's no wonder you panic.
Hey.
Come.
Take a break.
What is it?
- Help me with eyedrops. - Okay.
Better?
My right eyelid keeps twitching.
That's the left.
A twitching left eyelid leads to fortune.
No, some dust got into this eye so I needed the eyedrops.
This eye is twitching.
You believe a twitching right eyelid leads to disaster?
I don't believe it.
Right.
It can't hurt.
What are you doing?
How can you be so superstitious?
What if I don't get good rest and both eyelids twitch?
Hello, this is Deju Renhe HR--
It's for you.
This is Zheng Qiu Dong.
Where are you?
It's obvious nobody taught you this when you were a kid.
Stick a white piece of paper on a twitching eyelid for it to stop.
Let me try.
How come it's still twitching?
How is this possible?
I'm blown away.
I'm glad this is possible.
