Episode 18
Yesterday...
What happened last night...
don't take it to heart.
It's okay.
Anyway, I have already forgotten what you said last night.
I mean, I will try my best to forget what you said.
Well, then that good.
Chairman. -Yu Jiang.
Grandpa -Ya Yin
How were the visits the past two days? What do you think ?
Grandpa, how can you call it visits?
We've been moving around with such great haste these past few days.
What I have gained the most through this experience is
having broken my legs from all this walking!
I am serious.
So many factories and marketplaces belong to Yuan Group.
How can you manage it?
You've only seen the domestic parts.
You haven't even seen the production and retail outlets located at 35 foreign countries.
If you broke your legs just from walking,
then when you go overseas, we should prepare a wheelchair for you.
Hey, Qin Yu Jiang, don't you have any sympathy?
I'm a girl!
As a successor, you can't use gender as an excuse.
Then just treat it as a blatant complaint.
You...
What?
I've said it already.
I'm going to use the strictest standards on you.
Even if you are lazy,
I will push you until you learn everything.
Ya Yin, I completely agree with Yu Jiang's harsh demands.
Right now, Brett is representing his Board of Directors
and coming after me.
As a successor,
they will do everything in their power to cause trouble for you.
Then won't I be toast?
Ya Yin, answer me quickly.
How many people work at Yuan Corp in the world?
28746 people, since yesterday.
Very good.
But you should know, to manage a business,
the real job isn't on the sales floor, or in the factory.
The important part is managing people.
I'll give you a quiz today.
Quiz?
I have a meeting today.
I was supposed to attend it,
but I want you to attend it now.
What? Grandpa... I can't.
What if I mess it up?
You won't. They are just making a decision.
I want to test your ability to adapt to sudden changes.
What decision do you want me to make?
If you want me to schedule the workers' holidays,
fun activities for them, I can arrange them no problem.
In that aspect, I'm much better than this dinosaur.
Why would you be scheduling these things?
I'll say this simply.
CEO Li has handed in a proposal for signing off.
She proposes to fire Li Ming Qiong.
Fire Ming Qiong? Why?
Granddad, is this due to the leakage of the medical records?
That's right.
CEO Li did a thorough investigation
and believes Li Ming Qiong to be a threat,
so she wants to fire Li Ming Qiong.
Grandpa, then, what is your opinion?
My opnion is clear.
A company has its own procedures and rules.
I respect CEO Li's investigation report.
What you mean is...
You agree with firing Ming Qiong?
Then we'll have to see your decision.
My decision? Grandpa! I can't!
Chairman, the car is here.
All right.
Ya Yin, it's settled then.
Get in the car.
Grandpa... Grandpa!
How can this be?
Grandpa wants to fire Ming Qiong
and he wants me to make the decision.
This is just too much.
But Grandpa's opinion wasn't like this before.
Yu Jiang, is Grandpa doing this
just go get the two of us together?
Why aren't you saying anything?
What kind of expression is that?
Do you know something that you're purposely not saying?
Know what? I don't know anything.
I also regret making a decision like this,
but I have investigated everything
including the video footage from the CCTVs that day.
It is a fact that no one else has entered Ming Qiong's office.
So, the email that was sent to the reporter
was sent by Ming Qiong.
I originally thought this issue had been settled.
I didn't realize that you had this up your sleeve.
CEO, I cannot accept this.
I believe someone is framing Ming Qiong,
and I also believe your investigation wasn't thorough enough.
All the evidence and numbers are here.
See for yourself.
General Manager Li, just because you're Ming Qiong's father,
don't try to cover up for her mistakes.
Miss Ya Yin, Chairman already said
that he wants you to make a decision regarding this issue.
Say something.
CEO Li, I don't believe Ming Qiong would do something like this.
Why? Because she is your friend?
No...not because she is my friend.
Then why?
I..I... I just think...
What do you think?
I think that just because the email was sent on Ming Qiong's computer doesn't make her guilty
because to guess her password isn't hard.
So I feel if we fire Ming Qiong,
a decision like that would be too careless.
How about this, Miss Ya Yin.
Just go directly to Chairman and ask him to forgive Ming Qiong.
With one word from Chairman,
all of us don't have to sit here and waste our time.
Ms Ya Yin, don't mind my manners,
but the Chairman has mentioned that this meeting
was held to train your ability to analyze in certain situations.
So I must remind you,
you should remember your current position.
At this point in time, you are only the Chairman's successor
and not Li Ming Qiong's friend.
This way, you wouldn't make the wrong decision.
But...
There is no \"But\" in situations like this.
Ya Yin, you must be firm in this sort of events.
There is no room to be indecisive.
You are still too young. Your understanding in financial viability is still lacking.
However, our group has close to thirty thousand employees.
Every single employee has much better understanding than yourself.
If you handle everything with such hesistance,
I question your ability in leading this company.
I'm afraid you will not to able to cope with the crowd.
Grandpa must have sent these people to observe me.
Why do I have to accept this kind of training?
I don't even want to be the next succesor for Yuan Group's Chairman.
But Qiong is obviously innocent.
Why would they use this to test me?
I don't care.
I don't have to care about how others' see me.
I've always been very professional.
I am going to make a decision based on my own principles.
CEO Li, I understand your brazenness.
but if,
this so called brazenness is only to support your groundless accusations,
What did you say?
Since the meeting's real agenda
is to train myself to be more brazen into making decisions,
then fine, I have decided you are not allowed to fire Li Ming Qiong
due to the lack of adequate evidence
to prove that the culprit was Ming Qiong herself.
Ya Yin.
CEO,
this matter requires further investigation.
I'm ready whenever for the next meeting you shall call.
That's all for today. Meeting adjourned.
You...
Everyone has worked hard today.
What are you looking at? Meeting adjourned.
Ya Yin.
Thank you. I...
I don't know what I should say.
General Manager Li, you don't have to say anything.
I know you are very angry,
but... can I ask you two favors?
Please go ahead.
Please don't mind this matter, okay?
Also, please don't let Qiong and Shang Lin know. I don't want them to...
I understand this. I won't let them know.
As for me, after today's incident, I...
I had another kind of feeling.
However, Ya Yin, thank you.
I...
Everything is self-evident.
General Manager Li must be furious.
Yu Jiang, do you feel that the decision I just made was appropriate?
Why do I feel that the CEO and the supervisors by her side were having a good laugh at me?
You don't need to care about the views of others. It's important to do what you feel is right.
That's what I thought too.
However, I really didn't expect that Grandpa would use this kind of tactic. Does he really plan to force Qiong to leave and separate you two again?
I can obey his intentions for everything.
This being an exception, I'm afraid I cannot oblige.
Don't worry. I won't give in.
Then, what do you plan to do?
You'll know very soon.
Okay then.
It's only, if Grandpa finds out that I violated his intentions and made a decision like this,
he'd be very angry, right?
On the contrary, I feel that may not be the case.
What do you mean?
Although Grandpa has his own thinking, he also has his perspective.
This is a test. It's a test for you.
From this perspective, even if you made a decision that violated his wishes,
Grandpa would look at it from another point of view.
What do you mean?
Perhaps he'll discover that you have some characteristics that are similar to his.
What characteristics?
Calling it boldness is fine. Calling it arbitrariness is just as well.
In short, being able to make a correct and necessary decision when everyone opposes it
is Grandpa's characteristic.
Furthermore, today, I discovered for the first time that you have this characteristic.
Are these words meant to compliment me or scold me?
What do you think?
Don't play word games with me, alright? Tell me, if Grandpa comes to get even with me, how should I handle him?
Why must it be him getting even with you, instead of you taking the initiative to approach him?
Taking the initiative to approach him? Isn't that just looking to die?
Not necessarily. Give it a try. Besides, an early death or a late death is death anyway.
Where are you going?
Hey! Hey!
He's actually ignoring me. This punk.
What do I do? Should I really approach Grandpa?
Chairman, you must lecture Ya Yin. She not only ignored my suggestion, but also refused to obey you.
Even if, as I instructed, you used a harsher tone to force her to succumb,
she insisted on her own views? Yes.
Then, what about Yu Jiang? Throughout the entire course of the meeting, what did Yu Jiang say?
Yu Jiang didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Oh.
So, Ya Yin made the decision alone?
Chairman, this is precisely what I'm worried about. As your heir, Ya Yin doesn't even listen to you. Then\u2014
However, hasn't she already made a decision?
However, Chairman, don't you oppose Ming Qiong and Yu Jiang's relationship? It's why you\u2014
Opposition is opposition.
Do you think I'm really that narrow-minded?
CEO Li. You've been by my side for so long already. If this is still what you think,
I'm afraid you still don't quite understand me.
Yes, yes, yes.
Despite millions of people, I will carry on. It seems that
this child is becoming more and more like me.

Grandpa.
Ya Yin. Did you do something wrong and come to apologize to me?
This... I don't know if it's an apology,
but I didn't do anything wrong.
Then, you've come to rally against me.
How can that be? This is your turf. If you're unhappy and call security to throw me out the window, what do I do?
Grandpa, are you not angry at all?
Why would I be angry?
You've already made a decision for me. Do you want me to recall the order?
Don't be like this.
Grandpa, did you know? Making a decision like that was really hard.
The CEO even went on an all-out attack against me, and I could barely ward off the blows.
Shouldn't you praise me well?
Ya Yin, do you think that I use my position to avenge personal grudges and that I'm retaliating against Ming Qiong?
You underestimate me.
I'm someone who differentiates work from personal matters.
I'm more accurate than anyone else at this sense of propriety.
Yes, yes, yes. Grandpa, you're brilliant, as expected.
However, returning to the main point, are you really not angry at all?
I heard CEO Li's report. I understood your rationale for vetoing this personnel case.
I also know that you didn't make the decision as a result of your personal relations with Ming Qiong.
Why would I be angry?
That's great. You should've said it earlier. I was scared and broke out into a cold sweat.
Ya Yin, as the heir, you've
passed this first test.
Really?
What's wrong?
Does that dinosaur have precognition?
Are you talking about Yu Jiang?
Yes, it was him who told me to take the initiative to approach you. He also said that there may be an unexpected outcome.
That punk's intuition is quite accurate.
Throughout this entire Yuan Group,
the only person who understands me is Yu Jiang.
Manager Li, I'm reporting to you.
Ya Yin has already told me. This is a copy of the personnel information. Take it to fill out.
Okay, no problem.
- Hello, may I ask if you are Miss Li Ming Qiong? - I am.
These are the flowers a customer wanted us to deliver.
- Thank you. - Please sign for it.
- Alright. - Goodbye.
Qiong, I will prove my determination. - Yu Jiang
Did Yu Jiang send this?
I don't know what screw went loose for him to have played this kind of trick.
Yu Ru, do you need anything else?
Oh, no, I'll go to fill out the form.
Hello, Qin Yu Jiang. Why are you acting romantic for no reason? You suddenly sent me flowers and startled me.
Didn't I already tell you\u2014
Qiong, I'm busy right now. Let's talk about it later, okay? Bye.
Hello? Hello?
Take a look.
Right now, you're looking at the branded jewelry we have.
These, for example...
Sir.
Can I take a look at these?
Yes. Your taste is very unique.
- Thank you. - I'll take it out for you to see.
Secretary Gu, do you need me for something?
Why are the video surveillance images missing for the Research and Innovation Department on the 18th?
It's missing? That can't be. They should all be there.
Stop looking. They've already looked. It's not there.
Then, I don't know why it's not there.
Do you know that this matter is very serious? Right now, I can directly report to the Chairman and even call the police to handle it.
Secretary Gu.
CEO Li came to handle this. You needn't intervene.
I knew it.
If trouble really does arise, just wait and see.
You'll absolutely be my mother's victim.
Secretary Gu, you're exaggerating. I believe that nothing will happen.
If something goes wrong, of course I have a backup.
Stop it here.
Morning, Qing Feng. In the future, we will be colleagues. Please take care of me.
Come outside.
Is there something that can't be said in the office?
The leak of the chairman's health report... you sent it.
Why did you do it? And push the blame to Qiong?
I don't understand what you're talking about.
Still playing dumb?
I got this from the security cameras of the office.
On the morning of the 18th, you went into Qiong's office and used her computer to send that e-mail.
Am I right?
Qing Feng, don't push it.
I advise you not to tell anyone. Nothing good will come out of it for you.
I will quickly reveal your true face. Not only will you be fired from the company, you won't even be able to stay at Yu Jiang's office either.
Wait.
Today is the first day that I'm working at the company. I don't have any feelings attached to this place.
So if you fire me or not, it doesn't really matter. But I advise you
to go ask your mother.
If I were to bring her down with me, the one to really take the hit would be her.
What does that mean?
Why don't you go clarify what that means?
What's wrong, Qing Feng?
I found out that the email leaking the Chairman's health records was sent by Chen Yu Ru.
When I asked her why, she warned me not to expose it,
otherwise she would drag you into it.
Mom, you're playing a part in this too, aren't you?
I first thought you only wanted to get back at Director Li.
I can't imagine that you'd actually...
Qing Feng, I indeed have a part to play in this situation,
but that Chen Yu Ru is just a chess piece.
What can she do to me?
Why?
This situation is already affecting the entire company. Even the chairman's position is at stake here!
That's right. This is what I want.
I am already fed up with him. He must resign.
What did you say?
But you can relax. Yuan Corp. will not be harmed.
And it won't fall.
When the leadership changes, it will only flourish more than it is now.
What personnel change? What exactly are you planning?
Don't ask me.
When it's time to tell you, I will.
But I advise you,
don't be so close to Yu Jiang or Shang Lin anymore
and that Ming Qiong. Give up!
I will not agree to you two being together.
Do you have a secret I don't know about?
All right. Stop asking.
There are some things that even if you knew would do you no good.
Are you in league with Brett?
I guessed right, huh?
You want to bring down the chairman.
So you're in league with Brett?
Qing Feng, I'm warning you,
you cannot talk to anybody about this
otherwise, I will not only be fired,
but I may even go to jail.
Do you understand?
I can't imagine... that you would actually do something like this.
That Yu Jiang. Gathering us here and not telling us the reason. So secretive.
Do you know what happened?
Then we'll ask when he gets here.
Speak of the devil.
Yu Jiang. Everyone's here. Why did you tell us all to come here?
I gathered you all here because I wanted to announce something.
I also need you here to be my witnesses.
Witness what?
Recently because of the situation between me and Ming Qiong,
I've caused her a lot of pain.
So, I want to be responsible for this.
I called you all here to announce
my determination for Qiong.
Qiong. I told you I would prove my heart.
No one can stop my heart.
Li Ming Qiong. Will you marry me?
Will you?
Put away the ring.
I am touched that you're willing to do this,
but I must think about it.
I can't answer you right now.
I understand. I will patiently await your answer.
Did he really propose?
Many years ago,
little Yu Jiang and little Ya Yin's game...
can finally end.
Ming Qiong. Think about this carefully.
Think it over carefully and then make your decision.
Don't have misgivings because of me.
But... Me and...
Recently, many things have happened.
I've already thought about it clearly.
The presidential seat of Yuan Corp,
when compared with my daughter's happiness,
means nothing.
Qiong. I lost.
No matter if you will agree to Yu Jiang,
I have lost.
And lost very terribly.
From now on,
I'm afraid I will ruin our friendship
because I cannot turn in my mother,
or I will destroy her.
There will be a day
you will jugde me with contempt and cast me aside.
But what can I do?
What exactly can I do?

Qing Feng.
What are you doing?
What's wrong with you?
It's you.
It's you who has made my life worse than death.
You will eventually make all my friends leave me.
Are you satisfied?
Chairman.
I am here to apologize to you.
Apologize?
Because I cannot do what you asked.
As a father,
I cannot end my daughter's relationship with Yu Jiang.
I really...
I cannot do it.
You can't do it or you don't want to?
I've discussed it with Ming Qiong.
Ming Qiong wanted to break up with Yu Jiang,
but unexpectedly,
Yu Jiang proposed to Ming Qiong.
What did you say? Yu Jiang proposed to Ming Qiong?
That's right. This happened yesterday.
I was very shocked.
Under these circumstances,
I'm not in any position to say anything.
This is nonsense, complete nonsense!
Lao Mo.
Where is Yu Jiang? I want to see him!
Chairman.
Yu Jiang. You proposing to Ming Qiong...
What happened?
Ming Qiong is my girlfriend.
Proposing to her is bound to happen sooner or later.
Then my order for you to marry Ya Yin,
you don't take that to heart?
I didn't agree to this.
And this is my personal business.
Grandpa, you can't order me
Shut up!
Whether business or personal affairs, I have the right to demand you to.
Not to mention, it's for your own good.
You better not take things for granted.
Grandpa, you asked me to return to the company and I did.
But whether in work or relationships,
I need some room for my own choices.
You will listen to me!
About this, I cannot comply to your wishes.
Grandpa, don't force me.
I'm forcing you...?
Yu Jiang.
In Yuan Shi Corp,
nobody dares talk to me like this!
I'm forcing you? Are you challenging my authority right now?!
What you mean is... you won't back down?
This isn't a matter of backing down.
This is created from complete biased judgement on your side-
How dare you?!
I only said two things about you
and you start lecturing me.
I'm telling you, Yu Jiang.
In the future when you talk to me, have some manners.
I will not allow this attitude!
About you and Ming Qiong,
I'll say it clearly. I will never agree!
Chairman. Yu Jiang.
It seems Chairman is really angry
Think about it. Or change your mind.
Don't make the situation more complicated.
Uncle Mo,
Chairman needs to change his mind, not me.
The situation between me and Ming Qiong, my stance is very clear.
It won't change.
Ya Yin.
Uncle Mo.
I'd like to ask a favor of you.
OK.
Did you know about Yu Jiang's proposal to Ming Qiong?
Yes. Something the matter?
Just now, Chairman went to talk to Yu Jiang about this.
He wants Yu Jiang to call it off.
Yu Jiang was unwilling, so they got it a heated argument.
Seems like Grandpa is very adamant about his opinions.
Continuing like this isn't a solution,
so I came over here to ask you for help
to try to convince Yu Jiang to change his mind.
I think I should try to convince Grandpa.
We can't let everyone cater to Grandpa
or things will just get worse.
Just like the situation with my mom and dad.
It was because of Grandpa's stubborness that it became a tragedy.
I don't want something like this to happen again.
Yes.
Then you should talk to Grandpa.
Me?
You know Chairman's temper.
Sometimes, even I can't say anything.
I don't think so. You've been with him for so long...
The person he trusts most is you.
Or maybe you could find a time to tell him your thoughts.
I think it will definitely help.
OK. I'll find a time to try.
But... it still depends mostly on you.
Yes, I will try.
I'm probably the least suited to talk about this situation.

Grandpa.
Do you have a moment?
I heard you're not very happy today
and scolded Yu Jiang viciously?
You know about this too?
You should scold that dinosaur!
You're doing what's best for him.
How can he make you angry?
If he likes Ming Qiong that much,
they are quite compatible as well,
he should just have this relationship kept under wraps,
feign innocence in front of you,
and hide everything from all of his friends.
And just continue their relationship in secret. Isn't that simpler?
Why put up a fight with you, Grandpa.
Ya Yin. Are you scolding Yu Jiang,
or me?
Actually, I wanted to convince you.
We all know your good intentions,
but you have to listen to the young peoples' ideas too
or your good intentions
won't bring about the results you want.
You're still siding with him. I don't want to listen.
But I still have to say it
because I am really worried for you.
What do you mean?
Yu Jiang's relationship with Ming Qiong since he was little
is something that can never be broken or replaced.
It's the same way Yu Jiang is connected to you.
He sees you as his blood grandfather,
so he so blalantly told you his thoughts.
If you really do want what's best for him,
why go through so much suffering to break them apart?
Okay, okay, Ya Yin.
I know what you want to say,
but this is for your own good,
for Yu Jiang.
Think about it.
You finally came back to my side
and Yu Jiang
is someone I raised and nutured with much effort.
My intensions..
Grandpa, I understand what you mean,
but why don't you ask my opinions?
You're doing this all for yourself,
matchmaking Yu Jiang and I together.
But... What if I said I wasn't willing?
Okay, then tell me for sure that
you don't like Yu Jiang.
I...
Even if I like him, it's just as friends,
not as boyfriend and girlfriend.
You can't bring us together simply just by that fact.
And force us to get married.
Grandpa, even since I've come to live with you,
I've finally gotten Ming Qiong and them to be my good friends.
If you insist on doing this,
tear Ming Qiong and Yu Jiang apart,
then how do I face these friends?
You're not helping me, you're harming me! Do you know that?
Ya Yin. You said all this but still haven't said
that you don't like Yu Jiang.
No more talk of this today.
When did you come in? You didn't even make a sound.
Something the matter?
Something was wrong, but now that I see you, nothing's wrong.
If only that was the case.
Why do you look so full of worries?
That's right, then what about you?
Why are you looking likewise?
Because of Yu Jiang and Ming Qiong.
And you and me.
Looks like we both share the same predicament.
Can I ask you a question?
Of course.
What is the deal with you and Yu Jiang?
We had a past that can't be forgotten,
but that was when we were little.
At that time, Yu Jiang and I met
without choice.
So Ming Qiong need not be burdened by this past,
or it will be unfair to Yu Jiang
and let Yu Jiang down.
Actually, I think that too.
Yu Jiang's proposal should
prove that there is nothing between you two.
Qiong must be thinking ahead of hersef.
I'm relieved that you think this.
Then you should try to convince Qiong.
Of course, it's no problem.
But, Ya Yin...
What about between you and me?
Don't forget. I'm waiting for your answer too.
Waiting for my answer?
That's right.
Hey! What's wrong with you men?
Are you talking about me?
Who else?
You think I'm talking to the air?
Why do men only understand clinging to a woman's neck?
My hands are right here.
I'm not choking you.
You still say you're not!
Always talking about waiting for our answer,
making yourselves look like you're real innocent,
and forcing us to come to a decision that we must answer to with question.
If that isn't suffocating, then what is?!
Shouldn't you be telling that to Yu Jiang?
You're the same.
You stinking men are all dinosaurs!
Irritating big dinosaur!
Pretend I didn't say anything.
I just remembered that I have some stuff that I need to take care of.
I'll be leaving. Bye!
Qiong, I told you i will prove my determination.
No one can stop this.
Li Ming Qiong.
Please marry me.
Yu Jiang.
Why can't you face yourself?
You will only make things more complicated,
beyond resurrection, behaving like this.
Why do this to yourself?
Yu Jiang.
What I can't stand the most is you letting youself down.
Even more so when you're doing it for me.
Why isn't your boyfriend here to fetch you,
when you're leaving work this late?
Whatever you have to say, spit it out. I'm not in the mood to play games with you.
Will you be accepting his proposal?
I have no idea. I have mixed feelings right now.
I haven't had the opportunity to think about this rationally.
But I do understand that Yu Jiang
is only doing this to protect all five of our friendship.
And just for that fact, I'm really grateful to him.
I'm just afraid it will all come to naught.
No matter how hard we try,
nothing can save the friendship the five of us share.
What do you mean?
Intially I thought, ever since the two of you started going out,
the friendship among the five of us was unstoppable.
But who knows?
Many things can present itself unexpectedly.
Our so called friendship will become meaningless in the end.
Qing Feng, where are you going at?
Are you hating on Yu Jiang or Ya Yin?
Yu Jiang and I as well as my brother and Ya Yin
are trying so hard to save our friendship
yet you are speaking so harshly and coldly of this.
Speaking of such demoralizing things.
I don't understand what kind of friend are you.
Please never talk like that again,
else I will really get mad.
I'm not angry with anyone, but myself.
My existence in our friendship among the five of us
is like a puddle of stale water,
I just want to throw it all out.
Qing Feng, he...
What happen?
He said..
He likes me.
Qiong, thank you.
Thank you for choosing me over Yu Jiang.
I won't disappoint you.
Ya Yin, let's not try to escape anymore.
Let's date.
So
Little Yu Jiang and Little Ya Yin
can finally be together?
Qing Feng ran away from home!
He left ?
Did he say where he was going?
How would I know ?!
