[Game of Hunting]
[Episode 36]
- Hello, are you Mr. Lin Bai? - Yes.
- Delivery for you. - Okay.
Thank you.
Is Hong Shen's representative here?
Waiting for you in the conference room.
Did you receive the invitation from Chen Xiu Feng and his wife?
What invitation?
20th wedding anniversary celebration.
That's great.
It can be celebrated along with Hong Shen's contract signing.
Hong Shen's representative doesn't look too happy.
Nag, nag, nag. They keep pressing me.
How could they still be in the mood for this?
You were the one who came up with this timeline.
You're also the one who kept postponing.
We have nearly lost all patience with you.
He and his wife are preparing for their 20th wedding anniversary party.
I reckon we ought to accommodate them.
I feel we're more like competitors than collaborators
and trying to gauge the other party's weakness.
That is not true.
Chairman Huang, hope is right before us. We can reach out and touch it.
The attitude you should take right now is
to trust me.
Yearning is a personal torment.
There is no happiness to it.
There are plenty of good men. Do you have to be hung up on this one?
There's nobody better than him.
If I have to choose somebody, why not him?
They are hosting a 20th anniversary party soon.
Their marriage is holding up well. You're going to butt in?
What's that called?
That is a dangerous relationship.
Anniversary celebration?
How come I didn't know?
Whatever. I don't care.
Hello.
- What do you want to drink? - No need.
Have you been well lately?
Still the same.
You understand.
Mi Na wants to join our company.
Our company?
Chairman Zheng, you won't look down on me, will you?
Mi Na, don't take this the wrong way.
It's like this.
I don't think headhunting is right for you.
You should go back to your original profession, acting.
You are talented.
It's because I couldn't act that I followed Yi Mei into this field.
If De Ren won't take me, you can just be frank.
Besides, acting will require me to go to Beijing.
- There are no acting opportunities here. - Of course it's Beijing.
- Beijing-- - I'm not going anywhere.
Chen Xiu Feng is here.
Is this what you truly want?
I'll just say this now.
I'm afraid your efforts will be in vain.
That's what Yuan Kun said.
Didn't you resign already? How come you're still in touch with him?
I went to warn him not to harm a hair on Chen Xiu Feng's head.
Are you a fool? Warn him?
He's a man of experience.
Even if he does do something to Chen Xiu Feng, what can you do?
He holds a dangerous trump card.
Your actions will only make him redouble and speed up his efforts
to force Chen Xiu Feng into giving in.
You warned him? Childish!
What are you two talking about?
What dangerous trump card?
I've done my best for Chen Xiu Feng.
In terms of childish, I can't compare to you old foxes.
Didn't you say you were going to help Chen Xiu Feng?
What have you shown for it?
Mi Na!
Mi Na, don't be mad.
Let me ask you. When did you see Yuan Kun?
Yesterday.
When you met with him, did you bring this handbag?
Yes. Why?
What are you doing?
Give me your bag.
Don't play around. She's my friend. What are you going to do?
What are you up to?
We're going to talk out here?
Let's talk right here.
To be quite honest, you are a very unwelcome guest in my wife's eyes.
She's right to.
You can't stall any longer. Hong Shen is breathing down my neck.
You've also given me a verbal agreement.
You must give me a clear answer.
When will you sign the contract? The interview can be skipped.
I am very disgusted with Hong Shen. Have you told them?
No! That's not important.
It's also not important that your wife doesn't welcome me.
What matters is that I really want to meet her.
I'd like her email so I can send her a homemade video.
She'll definitely recognize the male lead.
There's no need for everybody to lose.
I don't want that either! I want a win-win situation!
Oh, yes. I heard it's your wedding anniversary tomorrow.
So many friends and family were invited. How come I wasn't sent an invitation?
She and her friend are planning it. I haven't looked into it.
Based on my understanding of her, she won't be sending you one.
This is an important event. I can't be absent.
You're an important client of mine. I'd like to give you two a present.
- It's best if you don't show up. - That'll depend on my mood.
My mood is in your hands.
Kui said she didn't want a big party. There are less than 30 guests in total.
Sign-in is at the door and refreshments on the table.
The projector will have to be tested twice.
Two musical segments are not ready yet.
The hired technicians are all busy in the computer room.
We can have a test run tonight.
Kui said Yuan Kun met with Mr. Chen.
She also says he's coming tomorrow.
This is bad.
How did he find out?
She didn't say.
Will something happen?
I don't know.
His confidence is always making a mess of things.
Do you think of Hangzhou as your home now?
You even get to stay for free.
You're not returning to Beijing?
Why did you flee from Beijing back then?
Is there any point in asking that question?
That's not what I meant.
How to put this? There's a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts.
If you return to Beijing
that means everything is fine and you've recovered.
If you keep hiding here, that means you're still bruised and hurt.
That's what I meant.
Going by your logic, I must be about to die.
Why do you say that?
I don't plan on returning to Beijing in the near future.
I want to find a job in Hangzhou.
How heavily injured must I be?
Really?
You're a goddess who does whatever strikes your fancy.
What kind of work can you do?
Zheng Qiu Dong, I used to be the boss of a large media company
with 1.8 billion yuan annual turnover and over 600 employees.
I had two office buildings in Beijing's CBD.
You had to make an appointment just to see me.
You should remember that.
What can I do?
You're so forgetful.
Okay, I was wrong, all right?
You can do anything.
It's always an uphill battle with you that I can't win.
You only do this to me.
If you were just as harsh to others, you wouldn't end up hurt so deeply.
What do you care?
Have you lost your conscience?
I've been in Hangzhou for so many days and been wandering like a stray cat.
You know I am feeling sad
and instead of comforting me, you're saying these things to hurt me.
Do you have any feelings?
No.
I'm a heartless jerk.
Tell me what kind of job you want.
I'll have Lin Bai find you one.
No. I can do it myself.
Does this look good for tomorrow?
Looks good.
What's the matter?
There's someone who's going to be at the party tomorrow.
I'll introduce you two.
Don't look too surprised.
Just giving you a heads-up.
Who is it?
Luo Yi Ren.
I've seen her before.
It was when you guys went out to eat. Xiong Qing Chun was also there.
I was there to drop off car keys.
Oh, really?
It was really quick. Not even a minute.
Things are different now.
I will specifically introduce you as my girlfriend, Jia Yi Mei.
Yu Cheng Fei's cheating scandal was terrible.
She's been hurt again.
She's here again.
Don't look at me like that.
Her reason for coming here this time had nothing to do with me.
Chen Xiu Feng's wife, Kui Huang, is a long-time friend of hers.
Ms. Kui used to be CFO at her company.
They're now close friends.
She is such an oddity.
She's always doing this.
Getting hurt in Beijing
and coming to Hangzhou for comfort.
This outfit is nice. It shows off your figure.
Mr. Chen, Ms. Kui.
- Thank you for coming. - Congratulations.
- Thank you. Please go on in. - Yi Ren is over there. Go find her.
- Okay. - We can talk later.
Hello.
We're going to see your film today.
- Hello. - Hello.
What film? They're just images.
Juan Juan, I read your marketing story again.
Please don't laugh at me.
You're a goddess. You'd read my gossip?
How far along are you?
Not even three months.
By the way, may I have an interview with you?
Me?
No, no. I'm not interesting.
I suggest you interview Kui. She has many stories.
She puts gossip to shame.
That's right. How could you have forgotten about her?
That's a great idea.
I can set up a time for you. She doesn't usually--
- Ms. Kui, Mr. Chen. - Hello.
This is my girlfriend.
He's here.
That's his girlfriend.
Have you seen her before?
I only focused on Xiong Qing Chun last time. Was she there?
Was she there?
She came to drop something off last time but left immediately.
You might not have noticed her.
I think that was it.
Hello.
Let me make introductions.
Luo Yi Ren, Ms. Kui's good friend.
Jia Yi Mei, my girlfriend.
She's also our company's vice chairwoman now.
- Hello. - Hello.
You're lucky to have such a pretty girlfriend.
Is she complimenting me?
She seems to be complimenting you both.
Yi Ren, I've seen your picture online before.
It was a beautiful photo.
You're even prettier in person.
Thank you.
I've noticed you're very stylish.
Your outfits go very well together.
We're even now. She's complimenting me too.
Is the computer tested yet?
It's ready.
Dear family and friends
we came from all parts of the country to be here.
Today is Mr. Chen Xiu Feng and Ms. Kui Huang's
20th wedding anniversary celebration.
We feel extremely honored and privileged
to be able to witness this happy moment.
I'd like to thank Valley Estates for providing this venue
and the network stations for covering this event.
Thank you all for your attendance and goodwill.
Next up, we'll have Mr. Chen Xiu Feng speak.
20 years isn't easy.
I'm touched to see so many classmates and colleagues come from all over.
This event was planned by my wife.
We don't have children
but we take care of each other like the other is half a child.
Our journey to this point has been full of happiness.
That's all I have to say.
Darling, why don't you say something too?
Everybody here are old classmates.
He can usually give a long speech. It's odd he stopped halfway through.
I know what I should say.
But I'm afraid I can't express it well.
- How come you're here? - I just wanted to see.
I have to thank my good friend, Luo Yi Ren, and...
She inspired me and helped me plan this event.
20 years.
It really was not easy.
This year, Xiu Feng and I have encountered many problems.
His father is still in the hospital.
He has not been happy.
Yi Ren told me it's been 20 years.
We should host an event and bring in some good luck.
That's how it started.
Thank you, my dear.
Thank you, Qiu Dong.
Qiu Dong, why don't you take over?
Thank you.
Please go and have a seat.
Next up, we have a short video prepared.
It is about our two guests of honor
and their 20 years of love, life, and careers.
Lights off.
This love we're talking about today originally didn't have this name.
It was fate.
The odds of a story coming from a male and female stranger are nearly zero.
If this number changes, it is fate's doing.
If they stay together and become inseparable
it is then called love, the sort caused by fate.
This is 20th year of marriage between Mr. Chen Xiu Feng and Ms. Kui Huang.
These images record their trials and hardships
in their 26 years together.
In 1984, they went to the same college
and thus began a wonderful love story.
When I was in college, I was lonely.
There wasn't a boy who would spare me a glance.
Back then, I was interested in.
But there were too many girls chasing after him.
I knew I had no chance.
That's why I pretended as if I disliked him and didn't notice him.
Despite that...
it was still hard not to sneak glances at him.
That one-sided crush and fake aloofness...
It was miserable.
What a sorry plight.
I kept it up until junior year. I felt as if I would break down soon.
It was at that time he broke up with his girlfriend
and finally single.
I gave myself this warning.
"If you don't make your move now, you'll really have no more chance."
The following is an entry in Kui Huang's diary in September of 1986.
"Today is our last day on the farm."
"I'll drink extra shots of sorghum liquor at dinner for liquid courage."
"Regardless of the consequences, I'm going to tell him."
"I'll die with no regrets."
In the end, she ended up drunk that night.
She passed out before she could confess to me.
But she held on tightly to my hand
and didn't let go.
I sat by her bed in her dorm room and watched her all night.
When the sun rose, she suddenly let go of my hand
and seemed to say, "Go, go."
But she wasn't awake yet.
I had held it in all night so I went out to go to the restroom.
When I stepped out, I was stunned.
The farm's large field of sunflowers had suddenly all bloomed.
The sight of golden yellow somehow touched me deep inside.
I crouched on the ground and began crying.
He ran back to the dorms and woke me up.
He had tears in his eyes.
He dragged me downstairs in a flurry
to see the farm's hundreds of blooming sunflowers.
He incoherently said something about sunflowers and home.
He said sunflowers were his home. (Kui Huang also means yellow sunflower.)
I was not to be with anyone but him. He muttered a lot of things.
I had originally planned on confessing to him.
But I got drunk.
In the end, he confessed to me instead.
The one being chased did the chasing instead.
In these 20 years
it was this difference of one day that gave me a mental advantage.
Later on, there were two songs that whenever I heard them
I would feel as if they were written about me
and I would feel extremely moved.
One song is named, "I Am A Little Bird".
The other is named...
"Wild Lilies Also Bloom in the Spring".
In senior, under the recommendation of her internship program
Ms. Kui received the chance to study abroad at Harvard.
Back in that decade, government-sponsored education abroad at Harvard
was a chance as precious as gold.
But, she gave it up.
I remember clearly we girls were crying on each other's shoulders that night.
Kui Huang said she didn't want to go to Harvard alone.
She couldn't bear to leave Xiu Feng.
If she was going to go, she'd wait until the two of them could go together.
Our teachers all called her a fool.
But we really were all quite sad and touched.
To be honest, I was also a bit envious of her back then.
Chen Xiu Feng was so outstanding and handsome.
Any amount of sacrifice for him would have been worth it.
Kui Huang's decision to give up on her chance to study abroad
stunned all the girls around her.
It's true.
They could only remain at a respectful distance.
They could only leave us to the public spotlight.
At the time, I thought to myself that I must accomplish something
to repay this true and loyal woman.
Two years later, they walked into Harvard hand in hand.
In 1994, with sponsorship from the Chen family
they traveled to Europe to be married.
On a ferry in the Mediterranean Sea
they made a vow to stay together through thick and thin until the end of time.
That day, the famous Malta Summit
was being held on another ship just three nautical miles away.
After graduating from Harvard, he went to work for Morgan Stanley.
They had just been planning on expanding into China.
I was idle at home and wanted to have a child.
But we hadn't been successful.
We both had physical examinations done.
Two days later, he came home from work completely depressed.
He said he was born with spermatogenic arrest
and was infertile.
They could not have their own children.
In a single moment, their happiness was doused with ice-cold water.
The Chen family is a distinguished family.
It's obvious they had expectations for children.
We are from the same village.
If one cannot have a child, that is...
That was a period of insomnia.
I wondered...
If instead of him, I was the one who could not have children
what choice would I make?
Could I bear to leave him so someone else could carry on the Chen bloodline?
Would he ask me to stay?
I didn't dare to think I was fortunate it was him.
If he insisted on leaving me because of this, I absolutely would not agree.
I had faith I would stay with him until our very end.
That winter, New York was very cold.
At the ice rink at Central Park...
And on the sightseeing platform at the World Trade Center that once existed
Kui Huang was like a priest, giving me many inspirational speeches.
Life is short.
To have a wife wholeheartedly devoted to me
what more could I ask for?
Since love is a legend, it emanates perpetual charm.
In 2002, Chen Xiu Feng because a manager of a China-USA joint venture fund.
The couple returned to their homeland.
In a random physical exam
Kui Huang discovered a shocking truth.
She was infertile as well.
When I received my exam results...
I was truly dejected.
I just shriveled up inside.
I was wondering why Chen and I would both be so unlucky and both be infertile.
My imagination ran wild all night.
I suddenly thought that perhaps he might be healthy and fine.
The previous hospital might have made a mistake.
I asked a friend in New York
to check at Mount Sinai Hospital.
As expected...
He really was healthy.
I was furious.
I found a lawyer immediately. I wanted to sue that hospital.
Then I called him.
He was at Bo'ao, Hainan at the time.
The call went through.
He picked up. He listened to me.
He was silent after that.
He was silent for a while.
It suddenly became clear to me.
He knew.
He knew the truth.
He knew he was healthy and I was the barren one.
Oh my gosh.
From 1992 to 2002...
He wove such a big lie.
He put aside his duties as the eldest son of his family
just to keep me by his side.
And it was...
in such a dignified way...
that I had stayed by his side.
Who is a husband?
I understood then one of its meanings to be a dauntless support.
In those 10 years
I was protected.
It is the highest level possible among living creatures.
Every time I think back...
every moment
was filled with the radiance of humanity.
I'm grateful for
that field of sunflowers that suddenly bloomed in 1986.
It allowed me to have someone like him.
10 years and a beautiful lie
was witness to the temple of affection they built.
Isn't that Shu Jing?
- Hello, Kui Huang. - It's Shu Jing!
Hello, Xiu Feng.
She still looks so young!
There must be many classmates in the audience.
I am Shu Jing. Do you all still remember me?
My daughter just gave birth.
Yes, like me, she married young and had children early
so I'm already a grandmother at 46.
Urumqi is too far from Hangzhou
so I really couldn't make it.
Peng has been gone for eight years now.
I was once unable to free myself of the tremendous sorrow
and was even so depressed, I sought death.
I have to thank every person who gave me encouragement
for helping me step out of those dark shadows.
There are two people I want to give special thanks to.
One is my daughter, Sha Sha.
She gave birth to a new life
making me wish for immortality so that I could stay by their sides.
The other is you, Kui Huang.
Ms. Luo found me and said if I really couldn't make it
perhaps I could make a video.
I thought for a long time and didn't know what to say, so...
These are letters you sent to me in the past.
I want to read them to you, Chen, and our classmates.
It is to express my thanks to you.
It will be my gift to you for your 20th wedding anniversary. Okay?
"July 11, 2008."
"Hello, Beloved Princess. Your letter--"
Kui Huang always called me that.
I called her Bao Chai, also a classic. (Character in "Dream of Red Mansions")
That's another story.
"Hello, Beloved Princess."
"Your letter makes me very uneasy."
"It's been over a year since Peng passed away."
"You are still saying you want to follow in his footsteps."
"If he were to know, he would hurt to see you like this."
"Sha Sha is 15 years old now."
"You have to remain hopeful and optimistic for your daughter's sake."
"Don't forget that you are also a mother."
"Your attitude will determine how Sha Sha remembers her childhood."
"October 21, 2008."
"Thank you for your cake on Double Ninth Festival."
"It arrived today, just in time for the festival."
"It reminded me of something."
"On the same day in 2004, I was still in Hong Kong."
"Xiu Feng was in Beijing, preparing for a private placement."
"One night, I received a call from Beijing authorities"
"saying Xiu Feng had been in a car accident"
"and telling me to go to Beijing immediately."
"My heart skipped a beat. I was sure disaster loomed."
"It was 1 a.m. when I landed in Beijing. I was shaking head to toe from fear."
"I don't know why I kept thinking"
"he died, he must have died."
"In the end, I wasn't directed to the mortuary"
"but the emergency room."
"When he saw me, he gave me a smile."
"I collapsed on the ground and screamed"
"'You can't die! You can't die!'"
"'If you die, I'll die with you.'"
"I was just like how you are now."
"This incident made me reflect on life and death."
"Beloved Princess, life is by chance."
"Death is inevitable."
"We don't treat death fairly enough."
"In our sorrow, we hold the wrong attitude."
"Peng has been gone for so long."
"You were so good to him while he was alive."
"You have no regrets."
"That is already worth feeling gratified about."
"I later told Xiu Feng"
"I would warn myself every day not to leave behind any regrets."
"How can that be achieved?"
"By striving to cherish your love and your family."
"'If they were to leave tomorrow"
"I wouldn't have the chance to love and protect them again."
"It is not easy to be worthy of your loved ones."
"Precisely because it is not easy"
"when you achieve it, you receive peace of mind."
"To love is to give."
"As long as they receive it, I will be as happy as a pet."
"Only then will I hope it will last for eternity."
"But if he is gone, he will no longer receive it."
"Then we can stop."
"Your love is gone."
"If you want him to rest in peace"
"truly at peace in Heaven"
"then you should live well."
"Live as if he were still by your side."
"As if you could still hold his hand after you have drank too much."
"The reason why the ones who love you are called that"
"is because they will still love you even if they are gone."
"As long as you live well, he will be happy."
"Moreover, you have your daughter, Sha Sha."
"You will have grandchildren in the future."
"And me?"
"Xiu Feng and I have nobody else."
"If you continue to be so depressed"
"then you should be ashamed to face"
"those who have greater regrets in life than you."
"For example, me and Xiu Feng."
"Beloved Princess, know how to cherish."
"It's not the end of the world. The future is beautiful."
"Xiu Feng and I hope you will come out of the shadows soon."
"Perhaps you will then find a new love."
"Winter gives way to spring, when all things come to life."
"The sun shall shine over a full house."
Kui Huang, thank you.
Xiu Feng, thank you.
I have to tell you a secret.
I'm getting married again.
That's good news!
He's a nice man and loves me dearly.
Thank you for the courage you gave me.
Kui Huang, Xiu Feng
our full family from miles away
wish you 20, 30, 40, 100 years
of a happy marriage.
Lights on.
Do you see that? They are a couple who are truly in love.
You shouldn't have come.
I'm not listening to you!
Stand closer. Cheese!
Thank you, thank you.
- Thank you. - Congratulations.
Thank you...
Mr. Chen, let's go somewhere quiet to talk.
I've thought about it.
There's nothing to talk about.
It's a touching story.
Don't forget you made me a promise.
Don't force me into a corner.
You're well aware under what sort of circumstances I made that promise to you.
You are disregarding the consequences?
Worst comes to worst, I'll lose my reputation.
The alternative is clearly fame and wealth.
It's not like I'm forcing you to endure difficulties.
There are plenty who covet that position.
It even has better growth opportunities than your previous position.
But I'm unwilling.
This reason is not liable to change.
You know what is stored in here.
You're both here?
