[Episode 5]
Does Ding Ren Jian know?
I haven't told him yet. Don't you tell him either.
He just started a new job. I don't want him to be distracted.
How could this be?
It's been over a month.
I kept feeling a faint pain.
After leaving the real estate office, the pain started again for some reason.
So, I came to the hospital.
I never thought I'd have breast cancer.
Don't say such things.
The results don't come out until next week, right?
I think it is.
You're a modern woman. When did you become so superstitious?
Don't worry needlessly. Wait for the results.
If you're still anxious, let's go to another hospital.
I know the director of a joint venture hospital.
Let's go right now.
Tang, don't tell Ding Ren Jian yet.
He's the type of person who panics once he encounters a problem.
Help me out here. I can't get myself fired.
The main problem is that this isn't your first time.
You've already messed up twice.
CEO Zhai hates it when people make him look bad.
Look at you. First, you switched his reserved room.
Then, you did that to the woman.
Even I wouldn't be able to stand it, much less CEO Zhai.
Here, Uncle.
I'll treat you to one of Boss's nuts
to lower your blood pressure and lift your spirits.
I know.
Why don't you peel a jar of nuts and bring it in to him?
That's a good idea. Do you want to try?
I really can't get fired. I'm in a difficult spot right now.
CEO Zhai already pitied you enough to hire you.
Why don't you prepare ahead of time to pack your things and go?
I really don't think I did anything wrong.
So what if I switched the room?
Whose name was the room under? Can't that person use it?
As for the woman, you women give me your thoughts.
Shouldn't a man pursue a woman on his own?
Why should I do the work for him?
Just because he's a rich kid and his family is wealthy
he can sit his butt down in his office and buy a woman's affections?
What are you shushing for?
Even if he were standing in front of me right now, I'd say the same thing!
Boss, have some nuts. Lower blood pressure and lift spirits.
I'm going out for some business. I won't be coming back.
I guess I'll save them for myself to lower my blood pressure and lift spirits.
- Hello, I am-- - I don't need to know who you are.
Tell me your purpose.
Okay, then let's get right to the point.
This is information about our company. Please look it over.
So you want to acquire our company's newly released gaming app?
No. To be precise, we want your whole team.
- Including me? - Including you.
Interesting.
- Would you like to hear the offer? - Sure.
I'm quite curious how much I'm worth.
What do you think?
CEO Zhai?
What position do you hold in your company?
I am the deputy director of Operations.
Deputy director.
Go back and tell your boss that when I acquire your company one day
I'd definitely be more generous with my offer.
Hello, Chairman Tang.
I just met with him.
He's more inexperienced than we thought.
Okay, we'll talk when I get back.
Auntie, what time is it?
It's 5:30 p.m. The guests will be arriving soon.
Mom, you were just discharged. Just leave this to Auntie.
I like doing this.
Have you had enough of sleeping? Who are you mad at this time?
Mom, you know me the best.
Of course I know, you little brat.
You haven't changed at all.
When you're mad at someone, you come home and slam the door and go to sleep.
Tell me who angered you this time. I'll get revenge for you.
It's okay. Not many people can anger me these days.
Say, getting mad once in a while is quite fun.
Who would deliberately want to be angered?
Your son. That's why I'm unique.
All right, all right.
You're such a big boy and you still act spoiled in front of me.
Go upstairs and wash up. Get changed and come down.
Watch out or I'll tell your girlfriend bad things about you later.
You wouldn't. You'd love nothing more than for us to be together.
You're such a big boy already.
Go wash up.
- Hurry up. - Okay.
You've been waiting here all day. Why aren't you going in yet?
There's no hurry. It's not time yet.
You're meeting your future in-laws dressed like this?
That's no different from what you wear to work.
I'm stating my stance. I came to conduct business.
- Who would believe that? - What's not to believe?
This is the kind of person I am. I carry out my promises.
That's the only reason I came to dinner.
I think he's not half bad.
He's handsome and his dad is your boss.
If you two get together, you'd be winning in your career and love.
- He's not like me. - Who is, then?
You.
I'm your buddy.
Besides, you wouldn't fall in love with me.
That's why there will come a day when I find someone just like me
and I will fall in love with him.
It's about time.
It'll be two hours at most. Wait for me. I'll definitely come out.
Of course you'll come out. They're not the mafia.
They are, in my opinion.
I'm going.
Okay, good luck.
I bet you two will definitely end up together.
What a coincidence that you came today too.
You must try this fish. It's really fresh.
You're in my seat.
Zhi Wei, come here. Sit with me.
What's the matter with you? You're becoming so ill-mannered.
You didn't greet your Auntie Qin.
- Hi, Auntie Qin. - Hello.
Zhi Wei is becoming more and more handsome.
Do you have a girlfriend?
Mom, she's here.
You know when she's outside?
She's someone who would arrive at six on the dot.
She wouldn't even be a minute early or a minute late.
Madam, Ms. An has arrived.
Hello, Chairman Zhai. Hello, Madam Zhai.
Hello, Vice President Qin.
You're more beautiful than I had imagined. Very nice.
Come sit next to me.
Son, move over.
Qin Zhen, what do you think about having wontons for your main course?
Look. His tastes haven't changed for decades.
She likes them too.
I like your handmade wontons.
He's not the same anymore.
You're quite punctual.
You like to play games, don't you?
Madam, what wine would you like to drink today?
Ms. An?
What would you like to drink?
Let's drink red wine.
My dad just received two bottles. We can try them.
Then, let's drink some red wine with the young kids.
Okay.
Wrong. I like to play exciting games.
Are you ready?
Look at your drawing. Then look at the drawing in the book.
Dad.
I need to speak with you.
Save it for tomorrow. I have to study this first.
It can't wait!
What's wrong with your grandpa?
Grandpa's in a bad mood today.
I'm in a bad mood!
Qing Huan, have you made
a renovation plan and budget for the flagship store?
I've already submitted the budget to Chairman Zhai for review.
Oh? How much is the proposed budget?
That's impossible!
It's not the imperial palace. Don't tell me you're using golden bricks.
I know the budget is rather high
but it's because we're using imported equipment
which requires additional costs for transportation and installation.
Moreover, we need to hire professionals to teach us how to use the equipment.
That's because you're incompetent.
The company didn't put you in this position to waste money.
You're to save the company money.
You need to--
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
When I hear a woman's sweet voice, my hand could shake. I'm sorry.
Auntie, Auntie! Quickly bring out one of my outfits.
Okay.
I'm sorry. I'll go to the bathroom with you.
No, no need, Madam Zhai.
My past assistant is here.
An Qing Huan, come with me.
Excuse me.
You can talk now.
Hawthorn digestion pills.
What? Are you constipated?
What do you mean? They're for you.
Why would I take them?
Let me ask you.
You and Xiao Yue went to pay the house's down payment today.
How was the additional 200,00 yuan paid?
I originally had the 200,000 yuan prepared.
I earned it.
However, because I woke up late this morning
Tang helped me pay for it first.
I could have paid him back at the time
but there have been changes to the money I earned
so I might lose it.
I'll owe him for now.
You know how your son is though. I pay off my debts.
You don't need his money. I'll pay the money for you.
Really, Dad?
Dad, you're my real father!
- Enough, enough. Don't be so happy. - Fathers are the best!
Now let me ask you this. Whose name is the house under?
Isn't it all the same? Lin Yue and I are family.
Don't forget! You're a Ding! She's a Lin!
Dad, I don't like hearing that.
Lin Yue has been your daughter-in-law for so many years.
She'd feel so bitterly disappointed if she were to hear that.
It's true she's been my daughter-in-law for over 10 years.
But it's a different matter whether her heart is still with our family!
Don't forget who she was coupled up with in the beginning!
That guy with the name Tang named... What's his name?
- Tang Xiao Gang. - Tang Xiao Gang.
If Tang Xiao Gang hadn't gone to study abroad in America
could you have picked up such a big advantage?
Dad, what are you saying? Would I have to pick at leftovers?
Stop trying to brag.
Back then, when they were together, they didn't go out with you.
You were so anxious that you'd nearly died.
You even took my Chinese medicine sleeping pill, didn't you?
You needed your stomach pumped. The school wouldn't fund it.
Who gave you money?
- You. - Me!
What was the first thing I told you after you woke up?
"Ding Ren Jian, wake up."
Now, it's still the same sentence!
Wake up!
It's not that I don't want to give you money
so that you could have your own house.
Your mother died early.
When she left, she ordered me to do a task and said
"You'd better promise me"
"you won't let our son suffer any bullying in this world!"
Who's bullying me?
You're a fool right now!
Dad, what are you actually saying?
How can I say it out loud?
Are you talking about Lin Yue?
What can't you say?
Lin Yue has been with me so many years. I know how she is.
I trust her.
You trust her. I don't!
Enough about this.
Last night, your mother appeared in my dream again.
She told me, "If you let down our son"
"when you come over to this side, I won't let you hear the end of it!"
I accept my fate. I just ask for peace.
Take this money. I'll pay for you.
Dad, what do you mean by this?
I don't mean anything!
I'm your father.
A father paying a debt for his son is only natural!
However, I'm begging you. I'm begging you!
From now on, don't live in the dark any longer.
Explain yourself!
Did you see something or did someone feed you gossip?
If you can't say it
then take back your ill-intentioned words about your daughter-in-law!
I won't allow them!
I'm ill-intentioned?
- I saw it myself! - Saw what?
It was in the hospital right across from our house!
Your wife was holding hands with him and staring into his eyes.
Who was the man?
That man with last name Tang.
Your old classmate, the wealthy Tang!
You're buying a house.
He paid 200,000 yuan.
Have you thought about what he's buying with that 200,000 yuan?
How could I have such a big idiot as a son?
Take it.
What are you doing?
An Qing Huan, I've really underestimated you.
You ganged up with that brat Zhai Zhi Wei to mess with me?
You want to rely on him to move up the ranks?
This is to wake you up.
Auntie Qin, are you all right?
Everything's great. Never better.
By the way, I have a little surprise for you later.
I shall look forward to it.
Are you okay?
You stood outside watching and didn't come in to help me?
Are you a man?
I only know the game has started.
I don't know if we're friends or enemies yet.
So what are you doing in here now?
Seeing you so pathetic now
I know that if I don't ally with you
you'll be eliminated from this game sooner or later.
Come here.
Qin Zhen will find ways to cause me trouble with the flagship store.
The game has just begun.
Do you really think of everything as a game?
I'm not the same as you. I don't have any capital.
This flagship store is my entire dream.
What did you say? What dream?
Forget it. We don't have anything in common we can talk about.
Don't make yourself sound so noble.
I hate people like that.
Everything they do is to aim for the top.
In the end, aren't we all striving for success?
How are you and I any different?
You're back.
You...
Did you have a nice day at work?
I called your office at noon.
Your coworker said you weren't there.
Where were you?
I went to the hospital.
What were you doing at the hospital?
Nothing much. Picking up medication.
You're not sick. What medication were you picking up?
Ding Ren Jian, what do you actually want to ask?
I want to ask...
What medication were you picking up on your own?
Where are you going?
To check Man Yi's homework.
My birthday.
My son's birthday.
Are you okay? After I left, I've been really worried about you.
Girls really do become more beautiful as they grow up.
Auntie, you still look so young. You haven't changed at all.
No, I'm not.
Zhi Wei!
Why are you back?
Mom, I win.
See? I said he'd say that.
You know Zhi Wei the best.
Well, Zhi Wei? Does this count as a surprise?
It's more of a shock.
An Qing Huan, there's no place left to sit.
Oh, right! I'm sorry, Ms. An.
Auntie!
Auntie, bring a chair for Ms. An.
Place it...
Madam Zhai, there's no need. Thank you.
Auntie, please bring me three takeaway boxes.
I'd like to take some of the lion's head meatball
tofu with crab meat, and mushroom soup to go.
Bring them to me later.
- Okay. - Thank you.
Madam Zhai, I'm so sorry.
I just received a call and have to leave to handle some urgent business.
Thank you for preparing these dishes for me.
I love them so much
so I unashamedly asked Auntie to pack some to take with me.
I'm so sorry. I'll invite you to dinner again.
Okay. Thank you for inviting me to dinner.
I will visit you again.
Chairman Zhai, Vice President Qin.
And hi, little sis. Pleased to meet you. Bye.
I'll call you when I get home.
Mom, I'm full. I'm going to bed.
Zhi Wei, Jia Xin just got here. Why don't you talk with her?
We've finished talking in America.
Talking about nothing is boring talk.
I'm going to sleep.
My dear, you scared me to death.
What? Are you playing games again?
You were so absorbed you didn't notice me coming?
I need to find something to pass the time while waiting for you.
I'm nearly starving to death.
If I didn't dig out these two yogurts, I'd really have died out here.
Go quickly. I don't want to stay here another minute longer.
Okay.
One day, I'm going to return to her all the injustice I suffered here.
How much injustice did you suffer?
You didn't eat?
I'm starving.
Okay, here. Have some yogurt first.
What do you want to eat?
Food stalls, skewers, beer!
Okay! Let's go!
What happened?
What was that noise?
What happened?
What happened? Get up!
Exactly! What are you doing lying on the floor?
- It hurts! - Don't force yourself.
You'll just make things worse.
Go to my room and bring the safflower oil.
Man Yi, come with me to find it.
What were you doing?
You must have been secretly cleaning the tub for your wife.
In passing, not deliberately.
In passing?
You're useless! A spineless coward!
The things I just said to you were for nothing!
- Dad, lower your voice. - Why should I?
This is my house. Why should I lower my voice?
Should I call an ambulance for you?
Anyway, I trust Lin Yue.
Zhi Wei, I missed you to death.
Did you come back because your parents are getting divorced?
Of course not. Who cares about them?
They can be together if they like. Or they can split. It doesn't matter.
I returned because I missed you.
Didn't I tell you things ended there?
What do you mean? You know my Chinese isn't good.
Why are women so much trouble?
We made it clear when we started dating.
Our relationship was limited to within the United States
and the four years in college.
It was over when I came back to China.
You agreed at the time.
I only dated you because I thought you were an open and understanding girl.
Can't we be friends after breaking up?
We're still good friends, aren't we?
There's no friend who would hop on a 10 hour flight just for a visit.
I'm rich and bored.
So we're just plain friends now?
Of course.
But if you want to pursue me, you're welcome to at any time.
I don't want to. Thank you.
Then introduce some hot guys to me.
I'm not into that. Thanks.
But I still really love you, Zhi Wei.
I just want to hug you when I see you.
Hey. If you keep this up, I'll call the police.
I'll sue you for sexual harassment.
My mom was right.
Men are cold and indifferent.
You're treating me completely differently.
Zhi Wei, you're not in love, are you?
It's not that older lady, is it?
So what if that's the case?
Oh my gosh. When did your tastes become so unusual?
She's so much older than me.
Get out.
Zhai Zhi Wei, my mom has already given my dad's shares to me.
You know what that means.
It'd be a miracle if your dad lets you marry that old woman.
You just wait. The two of us are destined to be married.
You really are young.
You're an old senior now.
You're calling me an old senior?
Then I'll take advantage of my seniority.
What does your creativity combined with my experience make?
A new world?
Well said.
So why would you refuse me from creating a new world?
Because you believe experience is more important than creativity
while I happen to believe the exact opposite.
I can accept that.
Everything before was my mistake.
If I turn the acquisition into a merger, would you be more interested?
Example?
Your company's greatest value is you and your team.
Everything else is worthless to me.
I won't acquire an empty shell
because you would just take the money, go elsewhere
swell your ranks, and establish a new company.
I would still be faced with the same problem I have now.
The difference then would be that you would be stronger than you are now
and I'd be left as a traveling leader.
It's better for us to be direct.
I like being straightforward with you.
You're really young, smart, and outstanding.
I believe you can understand
I can reproduce everything you all do in the shortest amount of time
and I'd be able to release the product into the market
in just a third of the time it takes you.
The scope of our marketing team is unimaginable to you.
By then, you'll discover the products you painstakingly built up
will only be able to take up...
less than... yes, less than a thousandth of a percent of the market.
So is that considered a threat?
It can only be considered
a kind warning and suggestion from an old senior to a young man.
This is getting more interesting.
Think about it.
Up for making it more exciting, Chairman Tang?
Such as?
Since we're both in game development
then we should play according to game rules.
Be more specific.
Pick a game.
12 hours of preparation, 12 hours of battle.
You can find anybody you want, any number you want.
Don't worry about how many players I'll have either.
We'll use the final outcome of the game.
If you win, I'll agree to any terms you have.
If I win, you'll never mention any acquisition or merger to me again.
Okay! What game will it be?
Boss called for me?
Uncle, although we haven't known each other for long
we all still really love you.
Take care.
If you're free from now on, we can meet up more.
It'll be my treat. Good luck!
CEO Zhai.
Please take a look at the red underlined portion.
This is our company's rules and regulations.
You may only use any one of the following 102 violations
as a reason to fire a probationary employee.
So?
So...
Take a look at this now.
What's that?
These shadowed portions are my buttocks.
In the middle, where there is a cone-shaped fracture, is my tailbone.
Do you understand?
So?
What does your fractured butt bone have to do with me?
Of course it does.
These are the regulations you wrote.
Do you need me to remind you?
"During the probationary period, if the employee..."
"If the employee has any one of the following 47 major injuries"
"nobody, including the CEO"
"is allowed to fire the probationary employee."
I belong in the 37th type, severe bone fracture.
I still don't understand.
Therefore, you can't fire me!
Did I say I was going to fire you?
You haven't.
You're not firing me?
- You want me to fire you? - No, no, no.
Zhen Zhen said you called me in. What is it about?
You must not understand why I'm not firing you.
I don't understand.
Because to me, an incompetent person is more fun than a boring person.
You're very incompetent, but you're not boring.
Okay, go out now.
Ding Ren Jian.
Before I find you boring
you'd best display some of your abilities.
Otherwise, no matter how fun you are
my company still doesn't have space for useless people.
Uncle, don't be too upset.
It's a big world out there.
You're such a nice person. There will always be a spot for you somewhere.
Exactly. You can come visit us when you have time.
Our friendship won't change.
No, you can't come to the office.
It'd be awkward with the way things are with CEO Zhai.
It's okay. We could go out for afternoon tea, go shopping, and chat.
We could meet up anywhere.
He didn't fire me.
Not only did he not fire me, he even praised me.
What did Boss say?
He said I'm very incompetent, but I'm not boring!
That's praise?
Look, look!
You aren't optimistic at all.
He said I'm not boring. Is that not praise?
Put down what you're doing and listen up.
Raise your hand if you've played CS:GO.
Raise your hand if you've played similar standalone RPGs.
I really have played before.
Don't say anything.
Starting now, forget about your department and position.
You are Team One, Team Two, and Team Three.
The rest will form a logistics team and are in charge of strategy.
In 11 hours and 35 minutes
you will have to battle a formidable opponent in this game.
The outcome of the battle is key to our company's survival.
This is a very critical moment for us.
What you will be doing next will affect each of your dreams
and affect your original aspirations when you came here.
Do you choose to fight for your dreams with everything in you
or do you choose to live a smooth, steady, and mediocre life?
The chance to choose is before you now.
Use your hands, mouse, and keyboard to make your choice.
If we win this battle, we can tell all who long to be us
that we are not to be trifled with.
We need to win. We must win!
If we win, everybody's salary is doubled for the month.
Major contributors will be awarded a large sum and promoted three levels.
Promoted three levels!
Three levels!
Any questions?
Okay, go prepare.
Boss, Boss.
Team Two, come here.
Team Three, over here.
I can play all three types of games.
Okay, okay. You're not needed.
Go do your work.
This is when people are needed. What are you doing?
They need people, but not you.
According to information we acquired from Tieba
someone is spending a lot to hire a large amount of individual players.
If there are no coincidences, it should be our opponent.
I don't think these individual players are important.
We should try to get ourselves some alliance players.
Who says individual players aren't important?
Individual players make up 90 percent of the player base
nearly supporting the game on their own.
CEO Zhai, Thunderclap Alliance has replied to us.
What do they say?
They agree to join us, but they have some terms.
What terms?
First, help them recharge their game card
and cover all costs associated with this mission.
Secondly, they want super VIP IDs for all games we develop in the future.
And share the game backend platform with them.
That's highway robbery!
They must be insane! How could they even propose such terms?
That's impossible.
No way, that would seriously skew the game balance.
Who else would play the game with such conditions?
Agree to them.
CEO Zhai...
I said agree to them.
- CEO Zhai. - Okay, okay.
What are you doing?
If you have nothing to do, go eat lunch.
The company needs people! Why would I go off to eat?
We need people, but not you!
- Just go now. - No, I have a game account!
- Don't make trouble! - I'm really good at the game!
Don't say anymore.
What the heck?
Nobody sees my worth!
Boss.
Chairman Zhai!
Well, I've tried my best.
Come in.
Chairman Tang, the numbers are in.
As of 15 minutes ago
30 percent of the game's players have joined our side.
There are also over 2,400 newly registered players.
We will also continue expanding our range
- which will be-- - Okay.
You can manage the details.
My principle is very simple.
Win over all those we can.
We don't need them to be skilled or for them to contribute much.
As long as they are not helping Zhai Zhi Wei
they would be earning us points.
- Understand? - Understood.
Chairman Tang, would this way of handling things be a bit immature?
To defeat young people, we have to use a method they'll accept.
Otherwise, even if we acquire them, I won't be able to use them.
I want to defeat them, not annihilate them.
- Okay, Johnny? - Understood.
But what if we lose?
This is a world in which capital is king.
As long as we have money, we can buy anything, including victory.
The numbers are out.
This is bad, CEO Zhai.
Thunderclap Alliance and Infernal Dominion
have withdrawn from our side.
Didn't we agree to their terms already?
Tang Xiao Gang offered even better terms!
There are only about two hours left until the battle begins.
By then, I'm guessing we'll have lost even more players.
- CEO Zhai, I remembered something. - Speak.
When this game was first released
several special privilege accounts were released to promote sales.
One only needed to complete a few missions when player count was low
to obtain this account.
Get to the point.
One of the accounts
had the ability to freeze an opponent's weapons during battle.
The effect only lasts 30 seconds
but if you plan properly for that period of time
it should be possible to win a match.
Based on the current ratio
we only need to win another two matches to defeat them.
[Player Distribution]
Let's focus our forces and win a match first.
As for the next match, we'll need everybody to show up.
Where is that account user right now?
That's the problem.
The last time this user logged in was two weeks ago.
In the last two weeks, the user has been shown as idle.
I don't care what method you use. Find him.
CEO Zhai, how should I approach this topic?
Tell him we will pay him handsomely.
I want to borrow his account for 12 hours.
Okay.
Hello, are you Heaven Cannot Tolerate?
I am. Who are you?
I have a question for you regarding the game.
Can we speak on the phone?
Of course I can cover the cost.
- Hello? - Hello, hello!
It's like this.
We'd like to borrow your account for a mission.
We won't use it for anything. We can pay you.
Is it for the match coming up in two hours?
You know about it?
Of course I do.
It's being discussed on all major forums on Tieba.
[In Life and Love]
