[Game of Hunting]
[Episode 34]
Last month, I joined Tong Jia Yun Technologies Group
as general manager of Human Resources.
This is my business card.
I hope we will have the chance to work together in the future.
When will I get to attend you and Chairman Zheng's wedding feast?
Soon. It's approaching by the day.
I was much too obtuse in the past.
Chairman Zheng, I hope you didn't mind.
You've taught me yet another lesson.
You've already jumped up three levels in this building.
That's incredible progress.
Chairman Zheng, this is my book. Please read it.
You've published a book?
"Job-Hop Your Way to Top Millionaire."
Bye.
Ambitious.
Let's get together sometime.
Are you sure he recorded it?
Basically.
I just don't know if Mi Na was in on it.
I was wondering why such a proud person as Chen Xiu Feng
would possibly come to the office to see Yuan Kun.
How did he look?
Down in the dumps.
That means the main act has begun.
With nudes in hand, Yuan Kun has begun to talk business with Chen Xiu Feng.
No, no.
There's a difference between
wanting to record them and having recorded it already.
How can you be certain Yuan Kun already has the video he wants?
It's best if you know as little as possible.
After all, you two work in the same company.
Lin Bai.
With events having progressed this far, something major is bound to happen.
I suggest you withdraw and don't take part in any more.
You have a clear conscience.
Your wife is pregnant and your family is reunited.
Live the life you want.
What are you saying?
Afraid I'll double-cross my employer?
Of course.
Double-crossing, mole, defying superiors, jealous of the talented
are all descriptions ready to be used on you.
I can't let you stand up for me.
Yuan Kun is your superior, after all.
He is taking risks for the company's interests.
First of all, I don't have the desire to take part.
Secondly, I hope your assumption that this is a conspiracy will die off.
As a model in this industry and my idol when I was young
Yuan Kun is respectful and doesn't cross lines.
I wish--
Not everyone can do things by what they wish.
Nor do all offenses need to be punished.
- Is that what you truly think? - That's not important.
I know how insignificant I am.
Do you think Mi Na was forced to sleep with the client?
Do you think Yuan Kun is hijacking Chen Xiu Feng
instead of doing his best to raise him to the peak of his career?
What are you getting at?
It's pitiful.
I understand what you're saying.
You're saying I'm a meddler, pretending to be an angel.
You want me to pretend I didn't see anything.
And even if I did, pretend I didn't.
That's easy. I can do that.
That's the kind of life I lived in prison.
That's not what I meant.
Look at it from a different viewpoint.
Have you considered this could be beneficial for all three parties?
It's possible this could be a blessing in disguise.
But that's not a reason to like the misfortune.
A misfortune is no blessing.
If events play out as you anticipated
what will you do?
I don't want to tell you.
- You haven't decided? - I have.
I had already made a decision when this seduction was just a suspicion.
All right.
Be it from your suggestion or workplace regulations
I must withdraw.
What I just said was simply a reminder.
It doesn't mean I oppose you.
Do what you want to do.
I wish you luck.
Wish Chen Xiu Feng luck instead.
Goodbye, Manager Lin.
What did you two shoo me out to whisper about?
- We weren't whispering. - Impossible.
Lin Bai had such a long face.
He's been burning the midnight oil.
How come photos of Tian Yao's TV station interview
aren't on the homepage yet?
They were put up five minutes ago.
Show me.
Did you photoshop out the pimple?
Would it make a difference with a face like that?
It does look pretty damn ugly.
Now this is a fine-looking pair.
This wasn't edited, right?
Back to business.
Were you two talking about Mi Na?
Wait, what does that have to do with me?
Haven't you been paying close attention to it?
You even asked for the hotel room number.
[Mi Na]
Chen Xiu Feng's wife is back.
A good rain knows its season and falls come spring.
It should be over.
Mi Na was serious. She's hurting now.
She's in Hainan. [Send contact Mi Na to Zheng Qiu Dong]
VC Yuan won't let her turn on her phone.
She only sneaks calls to me in the middle of the night.
Chen Xiu Feng is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Young kids nowadays are beyond belief.
They see everything as fun.
Fortunately, she found sense and handed it to me.
- Didn't you say we are friends? - Of course.
If you were my friend, you would delete this in front of me.
I can.
I asked you here to talk about this.
I can easily delete it, but what if Mi Na demands to have it back?
I can give her money.
Any amount.
I don't approve of that.
If you pay her
Mi Na and I will be suspected of extortion.
What do you say I should do, then?
She says she is hopelessly in love with you.
Girls at her age don't easily let go.
When they are stark raving mad, they're capable of wreaking havoc.
You can make compensations through other means to settle this.
Such as...
Accepting Hong Shen's position.
Mi Na is the primary agent on this case.
If you accept this position
then whether it be financially or career-wise
Mi Na will advance by an enormous step.
She will be grateful to you from the bottom of her heart.
She definitely will.
If you can lend her a helping hand, you will have done right by her.
How can you guarantee that will be the end of this?
I have been negligent as her boss to allow her to cause trouble.
I can write a letter of guarantee for you to keep in your possession.
If you still find this difficult to do, we can try thinking of something else.
It seems...
there isn't a better solution though.
Let me consider this.
Sure.
Everything will be up to you. Don't worry.
The situation is still in my control.
I'm afraid to read it.
Hello?
Yuan Kun, this is a warning.
You must stop what you are doing immediately.
Extortion is dangerous.
You're already being watched.
Who are you?
Don't worry about who I am.
You made the girl take the secret film, didn't you?
You must bear the consequences of this.
Is that good? I read it all already.
Who told you to say that last part?
I've never threatened anyone before.
- Go. - Okay.
- Hello? - Hello?
This phone number just called me but I missed it.
May I ask where you are calling from?
This is a public phone booth on Wen Tao Road.
Sir, I was just passing by. There's nobody else here.
Thank you, kid. Good luck in school.
Hello?
I'm outside. Where are you?
I see you. Look to the left.
Vice Chairman Yuan gave me a long vacation.
He gave me a free two-week trip in Hainan.
One doesn't get a reward if it's not deserved.
Why would he give you such a big gift?
Since there was a gift, that means I deserved it.
Don't ask. Even if you do, you won't get an answer.
How come you're back earlier than expected?
Didn't you call to ask me to come back? You're being so mysterious.
Who would believe I'm charming enough to make you return just by asking?
I'm just kidding.
You're my best friend's man. You're off-limits.
To be honest, I'm not much in the mood to be on vacation.
By the way, you have to keep my return a secret.
I don't want to go back to work yet.
Since you returned in secret, I won't tell anyone. Don't worry.
Why aren't you in the mood for vacation?
Was what you pledged over the phone true?
Of course.
You said the situation was grave. What were you referring to?
Is there something you know?
Yes.
What do you know?
Fortune Plaza.
The thing that happened in room 2008.
Lies. You're lying!
I don't know what you're talking about.
Take me home immediately.
If you don't, I'll scream you kidnapped me!
Quiet!
If I say Chen Xiu Feng committed suicide
would you believe me?
When did that happen?
Tomorrow.
Or maybe the day after tomorrow.
Oh, please. Can you not scare me like that?
You were in no mood for vacation and in a hurry to be back.
You are worried for him, aren't you?
Nobody can change what has already happened.
If you still hold reverence and mercy in your heart...
the future can be changed.
Who betrayed me?
Yuan Kun?
Or Chen Xiu Feng?
Nobody betrayed you.
I discovered all this by investigating.
What you and Chen Xiu Feng did in that room was secondary.
There's something even more dreadful.
What else do you know?
I originally only wanted to ask you one thing.
Did you know about the smoke alarm?
Your eyes already tell me you knew.
Does Yi Mei know?
How could I possibly tell her?
You two are best friends.
I need to save your reputation.
I don't know what came over me.
This isn't... This isn't me.
I must have been possessed by the devil.
This isn't me.
What have I done?
Mr. Chen, I understand the pressure you're facing.
I'm helping you weather this crisis.
How could you turn around and blame me instead?
What do you mean by that?
I received a call yesterday criticizing me for extorting you.
They said I ordered someone to take the recording.
Nobody else knows about this. Only you do.
Isn't that blaming me?
I only have good intentions!
That's not possible. I've been so dazed. How could I have made that call?
It wasn't yourself. It was a hired man, wasn't it?
I don't know what you mean by that.
I didn't make that call, nor did I direct anyone to.
One of us must be a moron.
How could I possibly tell anyone else about this sort of thing?
However, you are well aware whether you were the one
who planned the secret recording.
- You're being paranoid. - Xiu Feng!
Where's the pruning saw? It's not in the storage room.
Probably in the garage.
Why don't you help me find it? I'm a bit busy at the moment.
Don't you see me with a guest?
Sorry.
Hong Shen Capital is on my back again. They greatly admire you.
Besides, this is a fitting way to compensate Mi Na.
Don't let her resort to taking vengeful measures.
It'll be too late to have regrets by then.
You're threatening me?
Nevertheless, you have to make a choice.
I envy you for having such a capable wife.
Your sweet home deserves to be cherished.
You can see yourself out.
Don't worry about me. You don't have much time left.
Goodbye.
Kui.
What's the matter?
Chen...
He has been acting strange lately.
That headhunter came by the house again.
If you don't like him, show him the door. What's so difficult about that?
He is refined and courteous in his speech and actions.
It would be rude of me to say anything.
How is Mr. Chen acting strange?
I can't really explain.
His father is in the ICU. He must be under a lot of stress.
The stress has always been there.
But this time...
I sense it is bad.
He's nervous even just drinking tea.
His hands are ice-cold.
He often avoids looking into my eyes.
He also doesn't speak much.
Could it be that the headhunting firm is putting Mr. Chen in a difficult spot?
This sort of thing is a yes or a no. Chen has always been straightforward.
Everybody has remained polite.
They can't be making threats and promises.
It won't be because... of women?
It's likely.
There have been signs.
I found a bracelet in the sofa.
It's definitely not mine.
I thought about it hypothetically.
If it really is because of a woman, I'd rather not know.
Avoidance isn't a solution.
This is how emotions are.
Facing them makes them simple. Avoiding them makes them complicated.
Taking a step back, whether a man can be forgiven when he cheats...
depends on his place in your heart.
He is very important to me.
Of course he can be forgiven.
Am I being paranoid?
It is all hypothesis.
Mr. Chen wouldn't do that.
He wouldn't.
He's a model of strong sensibilities.
Zheng Qiu Dong is coming by later.
He said he's bringing the hard disk copies he made for you.
I nearly forgot about that.
You two met?
We ran into each other at the hotel I'm staying at.
It was such a coincidence.
What kind of look is that?
It really was by chance.
Don't give me that smirk. It's true!
He's here.
Sorry that I'm late.
- Hello. - Hi, Ms. Kui.
Everything's been copied.
Thank you so much.
How's Mr. Chen doing?
What's this? Is he a giant panda now?
You're all asking about him. Does nobody care about me?
As long as Mr. Chen is doing well, you'll be happy.
If he's not well, you'll surely be in low spirits.
Mr. Chen isn't well.
I asked him.
After pressing, he said he's depressed.
Isn't that funny?
Excuse me. It's from Yunnan.
Hello. How's your day?
She doesn't know yet.
She can't find out.
Nor can Chen Xiu Feng find out we know about this.
Pride.
Pretend it never happened.
This can't drag on for too long.
Only a swift ending will prevent further complications from playing out.
I had originally wanted to stay silent and have nothing to do with it.
Why did you change your mind?
Two reasons.
First...
Yuan Kun set me up.
I have to strike back.
Second...
I like Ms. Kui's personal charm.
She is still so pure, generous, and benevolent even at her age.
I think that is how you'll be when you reach her age.
Didn't someone peg me for a standoffish highbrow girl?
Now I'm not?
You are right now.
I'm saying you'll be like her in the future.
She already has a bad feeling.
She's just in denial.
She makes guesses while saying she is being paranoid.
She is so naive.
Why do you think people have the urge to protect others?
Because of human nature.
But this impulse only happens on occasion.
Because of selfishness.
That is also human nature.
Mr. Chen.
A caretaker is here. You can go home to rest.
It's fine. I sleep well here. It's comfortable.
You can go.
Thank you.
Calm down. Listen to me.
Don't be like this. Hear me out!
Where have you been hiding? What exactly happened?
Please, don't be so violent.
What are you doing here?
Do you know what has happened?
I know. No, I know.
Let go of me first.
I'm sorry. I just wanted to see you.
I was wrong. I'm sorry.
Let go!
You saw the video, didn't you?
You've ruined me, you know?
Were you in on it with Yuan Kun?
No matter what, I'll be with you.
It was my fault. I'll take all the blame.
You're innocent. Don't be like this.
I'm not innocent.
I won't like you either.
Xiu Feng.
Xiu Feng, listen to me.
I really do love you.
I really love you a lot.
I can explain everything to your wife.
I'll bear the blame for everything.
Trust me. I will be even better than Kui Huang.
Don't push me to be a murderer.
Don't.
If your life is ruined, I'll still be willing to stay by your side.
Leave.
Leave!
How come you're over here? I've been looking for you.
Don't sit on the cold floor.
Are you feeling unwell?
I'm fine now. I was just a bit tired.
Don't keep anything from me.
I can take anything on.
Nothing's wrong. Look at you being paranoid.
I'm just tired. Really.
I'm fine. I'm okay.
Success can be considered near at hand.
Even the interview schedule has already been set.
Have your contract ready and it can signed immediately after.
This will be completed within the week.
We can go straight to signing after the interview.
We have confidence in Chen Xiu Feng.
No need to issue an offer.
Sign under duress? Absolutely not.
He is my VIP client. We must go by the book.
This is the schedule.
I haven't exceeded the time you allotted me.
Chen Xiu Feng has always wanted to be his own boss and has ambitious dreams.
Only Vice Chairman Yuan could persuade him to work for you.
There won't be another who can achieve that.
Congratulations are in order.
Thank you, Mr. Saul.
That is the truth.
Today is a good day for you.
A wonderful day.
- No need to walk us. - Goodbye.
- Take care. - Goodbye.
- Lin Bai. - Hi, Saul.
What's all this?
A friend gave me eggs.
Eggs from free-range chickens in the mountains, 100 percent organic.
What about this?
Free-range chickens from the mountains. I have four of them.
I'll give you one. They're superb for making soup.
Thank you. Your wife is very lucky.
Do you know yet?
Vice Chairman Yuan has succeeded.
What?
He has Hong Shen Capital case in the bag.
The contract's signed?
- There hasn't been an interview yet? - It's soon.
Come in.
Lin Bai.
I heard from Saul that you've completed Chen Xiu Feng's case.
It's been progressing in secret.
I can now say it's nearly wrapped up, but not complete yet.
It's just a matter of time. You've proven to be the god of the hunt.
How did you do it?
Know your prey's strengths and weaknesses.
I don't want to hide it from you. The methods were unusual.
It's not a good time to talk about it yet.
You're right.
Lately, someone has been creating obstacles in secret
trying to thwart the case's progress.
I've already received an anonymous phone call.
That's absolutely normal.
It'd be unusual if nobody tried underhanded tricks on such a big case.
Has the schedule been set yet?
I trust you.
Never mind. I'd better not see it so I don't become an insider.
I've always considered you an insider.
You were involved in this case in the very beginning.
No, no. I'm definitely an outsider.
This is your team's cake to take.
I'm just curious
why Chen Xiu Feng's attitude made a sudden 180-degree turn.
It's confidential for the time being.
Let me guess.
Just now, you said know a prey's weaknesses.
What does that mean?
No need for guesses.
Hidden trump cards are reserved for intimidation.
Isn't swaying one's heart what headhunting is all about?
Once the heart is swayed, the deal is as good as done.
The methods are variable, but the objective never changes.
If I were at the end of my line
I'd surely have no other options apart from intimidation.
Those who only have thoughts of creating a warm, loving home
are sure to be helpless in the face of a crisis.
You've already lost your fighting spirit.
I've lost before, but my fighting spirit has not been defeated.
When's the interview?
The other day at the hospital, he suddenly sat down on the floor.
I think his condition is worsening.
He doesn't have many friends and he doesn't like to talk.
He keeps everything inside.
It'll fester inside.
Do you want sugar?
When one feels guilt
one sometimes uses self-torment as repentance to express loyalty.
Mr. Chen respects you.
I'm the one who respects him too deeply.
According to reports from China Entertainment Network
famous comedian Yu Cheng Fei and Chu Xiu, an actress he once had an affair with
have finally made things official.
He got down on one knee and proposed to Chu Xiu in Bali.
In the picture, Chu Xiu's belly seems a bit round and she's looking pregnant.
Could this be another sad drama with a forced marriage?
As usual, the exes are nowhere to be seen as the newlyweds' laughter fill the air.
Who would've known?
You look like a hipster but you're quite tough.
Enough about me.
Kui, you and Mr. Chen have been married for 20 years.
Do you know what symbol is for 20 years of marriage?
I think you've told me before.
Is it crystal?
It's china.
As in porcelain china.
Anything particular about it?
I don't know exactly.
What I know of porcelain is that it's very precious and fragile.
It needs to be taken care of with great attention.
It's similar to how wine from a good year is very fragrant
but needs to be preserved in a wine cellar in very precise conditions.
20 years.
Seven-year itch.
20-year midlife crisis.
It really does exist.
Let's plan an anniversary event.
A 20th wedding anniversary.
We can bring in some good luck and help dust off my bad luck.
I'll handle it. Give me a list of your friends.
Valley Estates has venues in Hangzhou.
I'll ask Chairman Meng to provide a venue free of charge.
Your Chen family can provide the wine.
I'll have Zheng Qiu Dong find a reliable party planning team.
What do you think? Mr. Chen will definitely like it.
Maybe his father will even be so delighted that he becomes cured.
Mr. Chen will glow with youthfulness.
It could improve his mood.
All right, your sudden impulse isn't half bad.
When have I ever had sudden impulses?
Your list of friends can include anyone in the world.
Valley Estates can cover plane tickets. It'll be advertisement for them.
Filming rights can be sold to satellite TV.
Enough, stop there. I don't have the time for all that.
All right. This is important and shouldn't be turned into business.
We'll keep this private.
You're really excited now.
No need to discuss with you or for you to do anything.
Where's my phone?
I'll make calls now.
It's been a long while since I've been so excited.
Hello, Chairman Meng?
It's been a long time.
Well, she's back to normal.
Is this necessary? You're being overly cautious.
It's safe here. You can talk now.
I don't know what to say anymore.
It's still not safe here. Come.
Now... Where are we going now?
Come on.
