Episode 8
Can I talk to you?
Did you purposely make the situation so awkward just then?
You sure are straightforward.
I apologize. I don't like to beat around the bush.
But you can choose to not answer this question.
I think.. that I'm not ready to acknowledge him.
Then, do you want to hear my suggestion?
My suggestion probably sounds complicated, and can't be explained in a few words.
But to use the simplest way to put it..
No matter what your perception is of the Chairman's past..
can you start from the beginning with him?
That really is complicated.
It's only easier said than done.
As long as you're willing, it'll be easy.
Then, start with calling him Grandpa.
If your Mom were still here.. do you think she would want you to call him Grandpa?
She definitely would, right?
Chairman.
Ya Yin has something to show you.
What is it?
This is what Mom left behind.
Yi Shuang.
This..
This is what Yi Shuang left behind?
This was something she made by herself.
That year Dad and I went to Singapore, we hung it on a hotel window.
I never thought that this time I went to Singapore, it was still there.
I want to give it to you.
Ya Yin.. I also have something I want to give you.
It's Mom's pictures. It's all of Mom's pictures.
All I ever saw was just Mom's portraits.
Drawn using charcoal. Black and white.
This is the first time I've seen these kinds of pictures of Mom.
Did my Mom love to smile?
Yes. Your mother really liked to smile.
When she was by my side, each time I saw her.. I was infected by her smile.
I would forget.. forget all of my worries.
Seeing those portraits..
Mom smiled so beautifully and brilliantly in every one.
Each time I looked at them, my mood becomes better.
Right. That was your mother.
As long as she was there..
As long as there was her laughter..
Even extremely cold environments, would become warmer.
Mom was an angel sent from heaven.
So, she couldn't stay for too long.
That was why I was so eager to meet you.
I've lost a daughter.. I can't lose you either.
Ya Yin, please let me..
..make up to you for all those lost years. Is that okay?
Grandpa..
Ya Yin.
Shang Lin, I feel like you've become Ya Yin's protector.
I think you should just move in and live with the Chairman.
Not only Ya Yin will live more peacefully..
You dad will also be happy. Kill two birds with one stone.
My dad and I are different, I won't move into the Chairman's home..
to be closer to Ya Yin.
Then don't do it for your dad. Do it for yourself.
The earlier bird catches the worm.
Don't you forget. Yu Jiang also lives there.
Don't bother to include me. Just do what you want to be my guest.
Yu Jiang, be honest..
Why when we mention Ya Yin, you don't seem happy?
How did she insult you?
You're also not the type to make a fuss. Why are you like this?
Really? How am I?
He probably has the thing, don't bother with him.
It isn't just me. At first..
I thought Yu Jiang would be together with her.
Truthfully, they do match.
Then now?
Now? I think.. I match her pretty well.
Ya Yin, you're too skinny. Eat some more.
Thank you.. Grandpa.
Good good. Eat.
Ya Yin, are you comfortable with the food?
Yes.
Normally, what kinds of interests or hobbies do you have?
Interests..?
For example, going to the movies, reading, or going shopping.
I don't have time to go shopping, and I don't have any particular interests.
Only sometimes, I like to experiment with design.
Oh? Design? That's great.
These three, have the same interest with you.
Uncle Mo, the exhibition that the three of us held, she also went.
And, she gave us so much criticism!
Criticism?
Yes. Ya Yin had very valid arguments, and hit the nail on the head.
Almost put us to shame.
Was it so serious?
It was always that way. I think, you're a sent poisoned tongue.
Ya Yin, so it turns out you studied design?
I studied it in college
and the reason I went to Singapore was also to learn design.
But sometimes, I would go online, and meet some friends with similar hobbies.
Everyone would share their experiences.
It satisfies my addiction.
Sigh, at my age, I really don't understand the internet!
This.. you can make friends on the internet?
Yeah. Not only that.
Sometimes there can be some unexpected surprises as well!
What kind of unexpected surprises?
For example..
Making some really caring friends.
Oh, that's quite interesting.
Ya Yin, maybe you could make those three show you around the company's design department.
You can talk and get more friendly with eachother.
That's not needed, they're so busy. An outsider like me would only waste their time.
No need to be polite. On the first meeting you could already criticise us.
Such an expert!
Yu Jiang, why are you not saying anything?
Miss Ya Yin is going to be your neighbour from now on.
Ya Yin, he just lives here.
Later, if you have any problems, do not hesitate to find him.
There is no need. If I have any problems, I could go to the company to find them.
Eating a meal was so exhausting.
What do you mean?
Don't you feel that eating with Grandfather comes with a lot of pressure?
I could nearly breathe!
We were under this kind of pressure for a while. So, we got used to it.
Are you all very afraid of Grandfather?
But.. he's an exception.
That's right. Of all the people who isn't afraid of the President..
he's most likely the only one left.
Really? It's hard to tell.
(He's not to be bothered with, right?)
Ya Yin, there is one thing I find very strange.
Why does your attitude change whenever we mention Yu Jiang?
Maybe you have a grudge against him?
I wouldn't dare!
You really don't?
Shang Lin, what do you think?
About that.. of course we need to ask the witness' opinion.
Don't ask me about this kind of thing.
Ya Yin, if you have any opinions about him, please go ahead. Do not be shy.
Really?
Of course!
I really could talk about it?
-Say it. There's no problem. -We'll definitely support you.
Okay. Then I'll say it.
Out of all of the people I know, he is the most narcissistic, most presumptuous..
..most nasty, most oblivious to how annoying he is as a person!
Thank you. I feel much better after saying it.
Ya Yin, about your opinion on Yu Jiang, We are very supportive.
And we are afraid there is much more to that.
Looks like I've found my soulmates. Unexpectedly there is someone who knows me so well.
Yu Jiang, how insightful.
Hey, Ya Yin, don't just use adjectives. Give us some examples.
Just like how he yelled at my aunt.
That's obviously using official matters to deal with personal grudges.
About your aunt, I'm just handling the problems as I see fit.
If you want to use invalid points,pretending you're right..
..while being unreasonable or label me, that's alright.
You're saying I'm pretending to be right? Last time you were obviously misunderstanding my aunt.
You're the one who's being unreasonable!
You're just like that. Always believing you're right and others are wrong.
It makes me angry.
How about..
We change the subject, talk about other things, okay?
Yeah. Just pretend we never mentioned it.
It's obviously hard for me to understand or experience your relationship with your aunt.
Her actions have resulted in trouble for many people, I couldn't help but point it out.
If you're going to protect her that is your freedom, your right.
But I couldn't pretend not to hear or not to see, even not to distinguish right or wrong.
Arguing over these things is very boring. I'll leave first.
Hey! Stand still, don't go yet, finish what you're saying!
Ya Yin. It's ok.
Yu Jiang didn't do that on purpose. His personality is just like that.
You two are both very angry, like two hedgehogs.
So if there's matters, you can talk about it next time.
There will be no next time! This bastard is an egomaniac.
I'm so furious.
Okay okay, don't be angry, don't be so angry.
I'm not finished with him! Arguing with him is so troublesome.
I'll go rest.
Looks like the misunderstanding is not as small as we thought.
I'm afraid it will be troublesome to heal.
Why is there no computer here?
Haven't been on the internet in a while...
Don't know if Chuan had seen my message?
If I'd known I wouldn't have argued with that egomaniac!
He spoiled my mood.
What should I do? I really want to see Chuan's message..
Exactly why was I arguing with her? Going crazy like that.
Come in.
Is there anything I can help you with?
Sorry to bother you, but can I use your computer?
I'm going to sleep.
Wa- Wa- Wa- Wait a minute!
Please, let me use it for a while.
If I don't use it there will be deaths..
I'll ask Uncle Mo to arrange someone to get you a computer tomorrow.
Hey! What are you doing?
Please, let me use it. Nothing bad will happen.
Also, before I was polite enough to you in front of your friends.
For the sake of being nice to you then, can't you be nice to me now?
Can't you?
Just for a bit.
Just a little bit and I'll be good.
Please don't touch my things.
Be obedient and don't move.
Thank you!
Sorry, can I ask you to leave for a while?
No. My computer has secrets involving the company.
I won't steal those secrets of yours.
Who knows whether or not you will.
Hey. I'm your boss' granddaughter.
The one last time was also.
Okay then. Remember this.
I'm asking you a favour right now. I won't argue.
Hey. Then at least give me a little bit of privacy.
Can you back up a little?
Back up, Back up.
Please?
What happened? How did they all disappear?
Chuan deleted all of my messages.
Looks like he isn't the boy.
Chuan, are you there?
Hey, don't go on those random websites.
Chuan, I'm Yaya. I'm back!
Where have you gone, Yaya?
It's a long story. I'm in a strange place with a strange person.
Really? Looks like your environment isn't too good.
Not just bad, it's completely rotten!
Also I am stuck with that strange person under the same roof.
Who's so strange? Pervert?
Are you alright?
Don't worry. He is very strange.
but it's not to the point of being dangerous so I'm alright.
What are you laughing at?
No idea. Someone called me a pervert.
Pervert? That's what you said.
Chuan, I want to ask you something.
You know the little story I left for you earlier? Did you read it?
Read it. And deleted it.
Deleted? Why?
After reading things that don't make sense, why would I want to keep it?
If that is the case, I understand.
I apologize. It is so late, and I'm still disturbing you.
It is so late, and I still have to reply you. It's so tiring.
Goodnight.
Goodnight
Seems like.. he is still mad at me.
Son.. who are you drawing?
What's going on? You like her now?
I've said before, be close with Ya Yin. Before that, you opposed my idea.
Now, you're drawing her.
Mom, why are you so sure that it's her I'm drawing?
Her features, her attitudes.. It looks like her.
Really?
Yeah.
Didn't you just go to Singapore? If it isn't her, who else can it be?
Why does Mom say you look like her? Do you?
The present, have you given it to Ya Yin?
-Not yet. -Why?
Didn't you have many opportunities to spend time alone with her?
That time, Ya Yin was facing her difficulties.
During that time, if I gave it to her, wouldn't it be very weird?
Hurry and give it to her. Don't be such a slow poke.
All my plans are in the hope that you two become closer.
But you! You have to take action as well.
I advise you to prepare yourself.
Otherwise, the things that are going to happen next..
I am afraid you won't be able to handle.
Dad, what are you talking about?
Don't ask so much. You'll know when the time comes.
Ya Yin, did you have a good night's sleep?
That's good then. Have a seat.
Ya Yin, relax.
You're in your own home. Eat, eat.
Ya Yin, you have to spend some time..
to understand the conditions of the departments in the company.
If it is possible, starting from today.
I've thought about it..
Yu Jiang, you're to lead her.
Yu Jiang, after breakfast, bring her to the company to have a look around.
Introduce her to the different departments.
But I am a little busy today.
It's alright. He can do his things. I can go by myself.
You've heard her right?
She doesn't necessarily need your accompaniment.
-That's good then. -Don't talk back!
You are to accompany her!
Delay the things you have to do.
After you show her around, then you can do them.
Okay.
Grandpa, are you free? I have something to discuss with you.
Ya Yin, you want to discuss the sue against the Chen Family, don't you?
I hope you could be generous, and let them go.
I have thought about this matter clearly.
I must go on with this lawsuit.
If it's anybody's fault, it's theirs. Doing something as unspeakable as this!
I know you're very angry, but they have taken care of me for so many years.
And for imposing, I have some responsibility as well.
Because I agreed to them doing that.
Really?
But Yu Ru's story wasn't like that.
A few days ago I received a letter. Yu Ru sent it to me.
Read it yourself.
Chairman Yuan, hello. I'm very sorry.
I know I don't have the right to ask you to forgive me..
..but I still want to tell you, I'm sorry.
Actually all of this was my mother's idea.
I really regret it.
Back then, under my mother's pressure, I shouldn't have agreed to cooperate.
But the innocent person is Ya Yin.
At first she didn't know anything.
But afterwards, under my mother's pressure, she was forced to leave Shenzhen.
Telling you all of this, I don't expect your forgiveness.
I just wanted to feel relieved of my sins.
I hope you find Ya Yin soon.
Signed, Chen Yu Ru.
What do you think?
What Yu Ru said should be the truth, right?
Actually, my impression of Yu Ru is fairly good.
I am ready to forgive her.
But for the other three in the Chen family, I will definitely look into it until the end!
No matter how you put it, they raised me.
Because of this, why can't you forgive them once?
Those are two different topics. Don't mix into one conversation.
But..
Okay, okay, okay. I have a meeting.
That's strange. What does Yu Ru mean by writing this letter?
Even though Grandpa is very stubborn, this kind of thing cannot be solved with one try.
The only way is to keep trying until I convince Grandpa!
Why are you so late?
You lose your patience so quickly, and want to show me around?
I didn't offer to. If I had a choice..
-I would go far far away from you. -The unlucky person is me!
Whether it is at home or in the company, have to be together with you.
It is so suffocating!
Besides that, if there are VIP's coming in from overseas..
we will arrange for you to meet them.
And also, the Chairman attends various public functions.
Where you're expected to do so too.
Okay, I understand.
-Another thing.. -Is there still another one?
It is the final one.
At the end of the year, whether it is small dinners held by various departments..
..or the company's huge dinner celebration, you're expected to attend as well.
This way please.
Let me introduce you. She is Shen Ya Yin.
Hello. I am the CEO, Ms Lee Qu.
I am the General, Mr Lee Dao Guang. Teach me your ways.
We've met each other before. Right here in this big hall.
You were so strict that time, Scolded me so badly.
It was a misunderstanding, misunderstanding.
I hope you are not offended.
If I am offended?
This..
I was just joking around with you!
Oh, you were just joking.
-Uncle Mo, let's go. -This way please.
Yes yes.
Special Assistant Mo, good morning!
Xiao Zheng, I want to introduce someone to you.
This is the Chairman's grandaughter, Shen Ya Yin.
Brother Zheng, good morning!
What? Ya Yin?
Yo-you-you are the Chairman's grandaughter?
Yeah. I feel that it is really absurd as well.
Let's go.
Yes.
The main business strategy for Yuan's Company is marketing channels.
People say, we're the Wal-mart for the Chinese world.
It isn't an exaggeration. We sell all products.
And some of those, we produce ourselves. Meaning, we are all-rounded.
We not only produce it, but we sell our own products as well.
That is how we get our profit.
This is the Administrative Resources department.
General Manager Lee, the Creative Department wants to conduct a meeting.
Manager Lee Ming Qiong wants Secretary Qin to attend.
-Okay. -I'll leave now.
Yu Jiang, go attend the meeting first.
-I'll handle the rest. -Okay. Thank you.
Hold on a second.
What does the Creative Department do?
Is it a place where you can voice your ideas? Or can you do something related to designing?
Ms Ya Yin, you're so smart.
You can guess just by listening to the department's name.
That's right.
The Creative Department will give ideas according to the requirements of the customers.
The people in those departments are the leaders of the Creativity.
Including the three talented men. Lee Ming Qiong is in it as well.
She's the manager of the Adm. Resources Department.
It seems very interesting. I would like to join this meeting. Is that possible?
No. The motive of today's tour is to allow you to understand the situation of the company.
And the functions of each department. Not for you to attend any meetings.
Did I ask you? I'm asking the General Manager.
Mr Lee, the situation of the company, I can inquire about it another time.
Now I would like to be able to listen to the meeting. Is that possible?
Of course!
You have such an interest towards this department. We can just change the tour.
Now, go with Mr. Qin to the meeting.
About the other things, I will fill you in on them next time.
-Thank you Mr. Lee! -You're welcome.
Have you heard that? Let's go.
Okay
Next time if you want to change the tour, can you please discuss with me first?
-Don't make your own decisions. -Sure.
But you have to agree to my condition.
What is it?
Put a smile on your poker face. I will feel much better then, okay?
You.. why are you here?
She's Mr. Lee's daughter, also the manager of the Creative Department, Lee Ming Qiong.
Didn't expect to meet you so quickly.
She expressed interest towards our meeting, & wanted to follow so badly, I had to allow her.
Then, listen together. You can give us some opinions as well.
But I still don't understand. Aren't you Chuan's working associate?
Why are you the manager here then? Unless, Chuan works here as well?
You misunderstood.
I'm just friends with Chuan, not working associates.
Yuan Company doesn't have any links with Chuan's workplace.
So that's the case.
You can come over here when you have spare time. You can have a cup of coffee too!
Really? I can come and look for you often?
Of course. Anytime.
Ya Yin? Why are you here?
Grandpa wanted me to understand the situation of the company..
But the tour guide was so boring. I'm not able to communicate with him.
-Tour guide? Who? -It's Yu Jiang.
So that was the case.
He's coming. Quite quite.
Ya Yin, have a seat.
Ya Yin is here too? That's good, everyone is here.
What do you mean?
The leading man and lady is here, meaning that "everyone" is here.
I don't think you've seen this photo.
"Who's this girl? Is she Shang Lin's girlfriend?"
Why are there such photos?
Your fan uploaded it.
In one day, it has spreaded over the internet like a wildfire.
Such a high percentage of viewers.
Everyone is trying to guess her identity. Is she Shang Lin's girlfriend?
Even I am suspicious. You two, when did you start dating?
No. There is no such incident.
That happened long ago.
At the time, I was consulting with Ya Yin about the Chen Family.
I invited her for a cup of coffee. This was taken at that time.
Right. That day many of Shang Lin's fans were there. This must've been taken by a fan.
Also, after I left the cafe, I met up with you.
I also told you everything exactly as I talked about it with Ya Yin, remember?
Did you? Why I don't remember?
Jeez, it's not a big deal if it was a date. You guys should simply admit it.
Isn't it good if you come right out with it?
I will offer you guys my blessings.
Brat, you clearly understand what's going on, but you're deliberately playing dumb.
I think..
You need a good beating, right?
Right?
Enough, stop messing around.
Who can tell me..
What's the deal with this picture!?
Reporting to the Chairman. It's my negligence.
At the time, in order to investigate the Chen Family, I found Ya Yin.
I didn't expect that a netizen would take a picture.
Since this has already occurred, we should remedy the situation.
Once introduced, I cannot allow Ya Yin's image to be linked to this gossip.
This is also the objective for our meeting today.
Chairman, I have an idea. Perhaps it's feasible.
Speak.
Using the corporation's name, we can do some anti-smoking & anti-drug public announcements.
We'll have Ms Ya Yin as our spokesperson. It won't only help to promote company's image..
but also make Miss Ya Yin into an enthusiastic angel who is concerned for common welfare.
-It can kill two birds with one stone. -It won't work.
If we do that at a time like this, wouldn't it seem too deliberate?
The reporters nowadays couldn't be any smarter.
They'll say that we're only making the mistake more conspicuous.
You're right.
My idea is a little.. a little too simple.
Does anyone else have ideas?
Since offsetting the negative with a positive won't work..
Let's try a "two negatives make a positive" marketing approach.
What do you mean?
For example, we can continue to release pictures..
..respectively private photos of Ya Yin & Qing Feng, and then Ya Yin and Yu Jiang.
It will result in Ya Yin's public image as being familiar with the three talents.
This way, it will dilute Ya Yin and Shang Lin's misleading and false public image.
After Ya Yin's photos with the three talents are exposed..
..the public will be very curious as to who this girl is. Resulting in Ya Yin's mystique.
Next, we'll find an appropriate occasion to announce that she's the Chairman's granddaughter
On the contrary, the three talents' positive image will help to elevate Ya Yin's status.
This sounds pretty good. What do you guys think?
I feel that Ming Qiong has a good point. I approve.
This is a viable solution. Chairman, we might as well give it a try.
I hope that it will really succeed.
It will succeed for sure.
Alright. Since everyone approves, we'll do it this way.
Manager Li, you'll lead this project.
If you need any help, just say so.
Okay. Thank you, Chairman.
You want me to take pictures with them? Isn't it too troublesome?
I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I've caused you trouble.
No, no, no. That's not what I meant.
I just feel that it's only a picture. It's not even a big deal.
Why must Grandpa fuss over nothing?
Also, I'm so ordinary. How can I have the nerve to let you three serve as my foil?
I can't do something like this.
Why are you so different from your cousin?
At that time, she looked forward to the three revolving around her and serving as her foil.
Ming Qiong, can you not criticize my cousin?
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
I apologize.
It's alright. My aunt and my cousin are both my family members..
so I don't really like it when others criticize them.
I understand.
Ya Yin, I have a hunch that you must be a girl who is easy to get along with.
The only one who is truly hard to get along with is that punk Qin Yu Jiang, right?
Actually, it's only taking pictures, so there's no reason to refuse.
The problem is, if I were to take pictures with that dinosaur, I wouldn't know what to do.
Who would've thought that in your eyes, Yu Jiang is a dinosaur?
Ya Yin, don't worry. Ming Qiong and I will be present.
Actually we aren't really telling you to be alone with Yu Jiang.
That's why if anything happens, we will deal with it in a timely manner.
-Will it really be okay? -Yes. I'm the one in charge of taking pictures.
I will deal with that dinosaur.
Thank you.
Qing Feng, I've always thought that you're hard to get close to.
It was until this meeting that I realized that you're actually quite nice.
At least, you aren't as arrogant as you seem on the outside.
You're obviously not a fan of mine. Otherwise, you wouldn't have said this to me.
Do you want me to become your fan? I can consider joining.
That kind of relationship comes and goes. Sometimes, there will be a few deeper ones.
However, it still feels like being separated by a layer of film.
It's not as steadfast as friendship.
Do you mean that you want to be friends with me?
It depends on how you define friendship.
Some friends are as light as a feather and might as well be a fan's warmth.
Some are as heavy as Mount Tai. And feel even more precious than relatives.
It's like your relationship with Shang Lin and Yu Jiang.
I've always been very curious. How are you three so close with one another?
All of you like design, and all of you work in the same corporation.
Do you not have a competitive relationship?
I'm sorry, I don't mean to drive a wedge between your relationship with them.
You don't have to respond.
How many angels do you think can dance on the tip of a needle?
This was a case during the Middle Ages in Europe.
On the tiny tip of a needle, how many angels can dance?
One, two, or more?
I can't answer.
Actually there simply isn't an answer. Or.. each person can has their own answer.
What do you mean?
I mean that the tip of a needle is only an illusion.
It seems that it can't carry many things on top.
Or.. it's already impressive if it can carry one angel.
However, everyone has forgotten that angels have wings.
That's why as long as the angels are willing..
every angel can coexist on the tiny tip of a needle, singing and dancing joyously.
This is the first time I've seen such a gentle smile on your face.
I think you must be one of the angels.
An angel who only wants to sing and dance with the others.
Okay.
It was very natural. It didn't seem like an act at all.
It's done. Now, we can get ready for the next one.
But we haven't finished talking.
Let's talk another time.
Take a look.
It's not bad.
Hurry up. It's almost time to meet up with Ya Yin. You can't delay it any longer.
Stop playing dumb.
Isn't it just taking a picture with Ya Yin?
Is that so difficult?
It's all your fault. You proposed this weird idea for no reason..
and got me involved.
It would've been good if I hadn't listened to my mother at the time.
Now, I don't have a home to return to.
Yu Jiang.
Can I work here?
Why did Yu Jiang collaborate with another company
and take part in today's competition?
You're still playing dumb?
What?
Several billions
are gone just like that.
This time, even if the Chairman wants to shield him,
it's not possible.
