[Episode 11]
Chief, I've reached the finish line in the lead and completed the mission.
May I pursue you now?
Despicable.
This was a conspiracy.
You two colluded together to set me up, didn't you?
That's unrealistic.
How could I collude with a horse? You think too highly of me.
What happened, then? How come it wouldn't move as soon as I got on?
It's clearly a good, purebred horse.
Even a purebred horse has times of constipation.
See for yourself.
Constipation?
Aren't you going to admit defeat? Are you going back on your word now?
I've always followed through with what I say and I'm not a sore loser.
What is your question? Ask me.
- Why do you want Ding Ren Jian? - I like him.
You're kidding!
I've always taken relationships seriously and never joke about them.
How is this possible? Him?
So you asked me out today to get closer to him?
That's right. I asked you out because of him.
I asked him to be my assistant, but he rejected me.
That's why I'm about to go crazy thinking about him.
All right, enough.
Okay, you know now.
Since I've lost, I won't ask you for him.
However, I will find a way to get him on my own.
Enough, don't say anymore. Shut up!
That old piece of crap. He dares to steal my woman?
Just watch how I'll deal with you.
Hey, I was going to call you. Find Ding Ren Jian--
What? Say that again.
This is what happened. We received an anonymous email last night.
It said the game we are about to release contains a software vulnerability
and it also showed part of their attack package.
Was it three times?
How much did three comprehensive vulnerability tests cost me?
In the last assessment
didn't you guys say all potential vulnerabilities had been eliminated?
I still have the report right here!
Yes, but we were in such a rush to release the game.
The original three months for testing were reduced to just six weeks.
The comprehensive assessment was also changed to a critical sampling.
So it was all my fault?
Hi. If I buy two boxes of dumplings, do I get any discounts?
Sir, our shrimp dumplings have won gold medals.
You run a big business. Health is the most important, isn't it?
Why do you say I run a big business?
I just need to fill my stomach. Hurry up and give me a free item.
All right.
I'll give this to you.
You can have this.
Sir, why the sudden change of heart?
- Did you win the lottery? - That would be a lucky stroke.
I took hold of the reins of my life.
Show me the email.
The wording is frivolous and provocative.
However, the process to breach the loophole is worded articulately.
What is their motive?
Extortion? Or a piece of the profits?
They sent this three weeks out from our game launch
and chose not to reveal this to the media or our competitors.
Their motive is clear.
I know. Find him and invite him to dinner. Do it quickly.
That isn't difficult.
He's experienced and deliberately left easily traceable clues.
We've already reached out to him.
CEO Zhai, Deputy CEO, we contacted him.
He messaged us to say he wants to meet in person.
Time and location?
6 p.m. tonight, in the presidential room at Jinjiang Restaurant.
Okay, got it.
It's already 5:30 p.m.
Should I go with you?
Okay, bring my laptop and a check.
I'll get the GPS.
I don't know where this Jinjiang Restaurant is.
Wait.
What is it, CEO Zhai?
You said Jinjiang Restaurant?
Yes, what about it?
It's nothing. Something just smells familiar.
Here's what we'll do. Take a check and go there on your own.
But what if he only wants to speak with you?
He is indeed only willing to speak with me.
It's okay. Go there on your own.
Okay.
[Jinjiang Restaurant]
Excuse me. Is this Jinjiang Restaurant?
Are you illiterate? You didn't see the big sign outside?
Is there another more formal restaurant with the same name?
No. Are you eating here?
Yes, yes. Do you have a VIP table?
Yes. Here.
Are you waiting for someone?
I get it.
Have some melon seeds while you wait.
Don't bother me.
Are you going to eat or not?
Since you're sitting at this VVIP table, you have to pay even if you don't eat.
How come you didn't go to the restaurant? How insincere.
Isn't it more sincere to wait here for you?
How did you know it was me?
Jinjiang Restaurant. We had breakfast there once.
The young have good memory and observation skills.
No, you're just old-fashioned.
All right. Have you read my email?
Yes.
Tell me how you feel.
I was careless.
There's some sincerity to that.
Keep going.
There's not much to say. I'm not good at self-reflection.
Then what are you good at?
One thing.
There are two ways to fix an error.
The first is to correct the error and get back on the right track.
You did a great job seizing this opportunity
finding the error, and hiding the way to resolve it.
You showed up at the most critical moment to blackmail me with it.
I don't like the word "blackmail."
Whatever you want to call it.
However, I want to let you know
I also have my own way of resolving issues.
Like?
Delete this whole matter and the issue altogether.
What do you mean by delete?
As in deleting it. I don't want the game anymore.
What?
You don't want the game anymore?
Never thought that would happen, did you?
Did you think you could use this vulnerability
to blackmail me into making you manager of the R&D Division?
I don't want this game anymore.
No, you can't give it up!
Two years! You invested all your assets!
How could you give it up?
That's your reasoning.
That's just what an old guy like you who can't afford to lose would think.
And me? I, Zhai Zhi Wei, started this company from nothing.
I can afford to play the game. If I can't, I'll toss it.
I'm only in my twenties. I could just start all over again. It's not hard.
CEO Zhai, you can't give it up! That wasn't my intention!
The game's flaw can easily be fixed.
You... You had too much confidence! You gave up your original testing method!
Stop laughing.
I don't want the position anymore, okay?
Don't you feel sad? You can't give up the game!
Of course I'd feel sad. I won't give up this game.
I just wanted to see you get anxious.
Are you serious?
I'm warning you, if you dare point at me again
I just might give up the game.
Say, this is actually quite comfortable.
You sure know how to enjoy life.
Qing Huan, what is happening?
She's clearly the one who hurt my family. Now, she's helping our family.
There's nothing you can do. This is fate.
I understand. I lost at the starting line.
No, no, you have it wrong.
There's no such thing as losing to them at the starting line
because they were born at the finish line.
The finish line?
This pisses me off.
What? You want me to serve you? Not that easy!
Watch what I'll do to you.
What about the manager position?
What about it? You can have it if you want.
- Really? - You don't believe me?
I accept your blackmail.
I accept blackmail from all diligent people.
I won't feel upset about it.
You must have sat down in front of the computer with your primitive method
that's like searching for a hole in a carpet.
You should receive something in return.
How long were you searching?
Since the first day I joined the company.
What other requests do you have?
Uh... salary...
Don't worry. It'll definitely be more than you've imagined.
What else?
This chair isn't that comfortable. Can I get a different one?
Okay, I'll have the secretary buy you a new one tomorrow. Okay?
You start tomorrow.
I hope I won't receive
any more anonymous emails before the game launches.
- Never! - Turn off the light.
Boss! You don't need to waste money on a new chair.
I think the one you have is great.
No... I... I just...
I'm just thinking of your best interests.
Your chair is too soft!
Sitting in it is bad for your back.
That's why... right?
All right, the chair is yours.
However, I'm warning you.
You can take the chair from me
but you'd better not touch my woman.
Otherwise, you'll die a gruesome death.
Why would I take your woman?
I have a wife and child! You must be joking.
Not bad!
Chairman Tang, first-class tickets for you and Manager Lin have been issued.
You just need to bring your ID and board directly.
Do you also need to book a return flight?
No, I want to stay a few days longer.
But the game will be launching soon.
If you're away now, will it be...
Hasn't the plan been set? Just carry out the plan.
Is the manager of the R&D Division over there in place yet?
According to a reliable source, he just started today.
He's new. We don't have a resume. We're investigating him now.
I want to know who he is within the next 24 hours.
Okay.
There's nobody that can't be poached and no wall without a crack.
Get it done quickly.
Okay.
- But what if he-- - There is no "what if."
Okay, I will get it done.
The things you wanted me to prepare for Manager Lin at Sanya are ready.
Okay.
Be diligent. Get these two things done quickly.
If everything goes well
Next month, not only will we have a new game yielding a large profit
but you will also have a new lady of the house.
I hope everything goes well.
Thank you, Johnny.
Madam Zhai?
Hello, I didn't come to see you today about business.
You don't need to call me Madam Zhai. Just call me Auntie.
Okay, Auntie.
So you came here today for...
It's like this.
My son, Zhi Wei, hasn't been home in two days.
I thought maybe he came to see you.
Auntie, you're actually mistaken.
Zhai Zhi Wei and I don't have that type of relationship.
Okay, I don't care what sort of relationship it is.
Times are different now. You just need to like each other.
No, no. He and I are very normal friends.
Okay, don't be nervous.
I believe you.
However, my son hasn't been home in two days.
You must know where he has been spending his nights.
Actually... I do know that.
Come in first.
Sorry for making you stand out here.
What kind of lousy mattress does Ding Ren Jian have?
It made me ache all over.
Let's get you the best mattress.
Sleeping is the most important time.
Everything goes well after a good sleep. Nothing goes well after a bad sleep.
Do you like it firm or soft?
Either is fine.
You must know your preferred mattress firmness.
People spend one-third of their lives in bed.
Not just that. Many other important moments happen in bed too.
Boss, you understand.
- Then I'll buy two. - Two?
I'm going to give one to my Sis downstairs.
- This is not bad. I'll get this one. - Okay.
Excuse me. We'll have two of these.
He did come to see me.
I had wanted to let him stay here
but I can't because I already have a friend staying here.
In a bit, I'll be--
Oh, hello.
In a bit, I'll be going out. I'll be back late.
Remember not to lock me out.
By the way, make sure not to use that massage table.
- Okay, I'm going now. - Bye.
Bye.
Please have a seat. Here is fine.
He... he is the friend who is staying here.
He's living at your house?
No, no.
That man just now is my best friend.
We went to school together and grew up together.
So, he's my male best friend. He's not my boyfriend.
He's just staying temporarily.
Zhai Zhi Wei is staying at Ding Ren Jian's house right now.
Ding Ren Jian's house is just upstairs.
It's a long story.
Is that clear? Was that confusing?
It is confusing.
But it's all right. None of that matters.
In this case, things are actually simpler.
Ms. An, you probably know Zen Corporation's distribution of shares.
Distribution of shares?
Approximately.
If I remember correctly, it should be that...
Chairman Zhai holds 34 percent and Zhai Zhi Wei should have 15 percent.
Vice President Qin has 21 percent
and her ex-husband had 15 percent
but they were later given to her daughter, Dong Jia Xin.
The remaining 15 percent
should be distributed among the rest of Zen Corporation's shareholders.
You have a very clear understanding.
I have a good memory.
Since you have such a good idea
you should know that the Zhai family holds
the majority shares of Zen Corporation.
Competition for shares is an endless struggle.
There are constant changes.
As for the Zhai family, if we want to assure our success
you must understand what we should do.
Marriage?
Have Zhai Zhi Wei and Dong Jia Xin get married.
The Zhai family will then have the largest portion of shares.
Smart. You're very smart.
Ms. An, the Zhai family will give you everything
that you hope to obtain from Zen Corporation.
That is the Zhai family's promise to you.
However, do not try to take what is not yours.
One must not be too greedy sometimes.
Sometimes, when you have too much, you will lose everything you have.
Auntie, are you threatening me right now?
Does it sound like it?
I am just stating the facts honestly.
- All right, I'll be going now. - Okay.
No need to see me out.
Women do not need to be beautiful, but they must be kind.
Okay.
- No need to see me out. - Okay, bye.
Mom?
Ms. An, I'm sorry. Can you go into your room for a bit?
I'd like to borrow your space to speak with my son.
Certainly.
You may use the living room.
Mom, how come you're here?
What did you say to An Qing Huan?
I said the things I should be saying.
It's time for you to listen to the things you should hear.
Your father has brought up a marriage proposal to your Auntie Zhen.
What? How could he do that without my consent?
Don't forget that you hold the shares your father gave you.
I never said I wanted them.
You can refuse these shares
but you're not above refusing your father's checks.
You won't give up your New Power Company, right?
Son, before the date of marriage is publicly announced
you can indulge yourself for a few days.
You can stay here for a few days and relax.
However, make sure to get enough rest. Mind your health.
I'm leaving now.
Zhai Zhi Wei, is your mom mistaken about our relationship?
She isn't mistaken. I do like you.
I absolutely won't marry Dong Jia Xin.
I'm back! Dad, where's my wife?
Look at how happy you are. Did you win the lottery?
Even better than that!
Honey!
I'm not listening to your family's matters.
What are you saying? Aren't we all family?
Son!
Dad, how come you're back so late?
Let me tell you some good news.
Did you win the jackpot?
You only ask about money? Are you all money grubbers?
Mom, Dad says you're a money grubber!
You!
Honey?
Honey, let me tell you some big--
Why are you packing?
I have a business trip.
Business trip? For how long?
About half a month.
For so long? Where are you going?
Sanya. The boss put me in charge of a big project.
That's good news.
- Is it? - Isn't it?
That means your boss thinks highly of you.
Honey, I have good news and bad news.
Which one do you want to hear first?
The bad news.
The bad news is that
my boss told me to get lost.
I suggest you hear the good news first.
The good news is that he hired me back
and my salary is now three times what it was!
I am now the manager of the R&D Division.
Come on, girl. Give me a smile.
Didn't you previously say you were the vice chairman of the company?
That was an exaggeration.
How do I know this time isn't the same?
This time it's true!
Whatever.
Honey, didn't you say I wasn't ambitious?
I made an effort this time.
For you, for our son, for my dad, I'm ready to go all out.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have played such a mean trick on my boss.
Your boss? That millennial?
Sorry, I secretly looked into it before.
It doesn't matter whether he's my boss.
What's important is that there's nothing in the market
similar to the project I'm in charge of now.
Unless there is a spy in our company
we'll definitely be able to dominate the domestic market.
Honey, trust me one more time.
I have only the same words.
Ding Ren Jian, I'm willing to trust you.
Let's open a bottle of red wine to celebrate.
Where did you buy it?
The kiosk downstairs.
- How much did it cost? - 18.2 yuan.
Since it's a celebration, we should drink something nice.
Go open the bottle from Tang.
As you wish.
This should be it.
Let's go.
Hold on.
- Who are you looking for? - You're here? Come in.
What? Who are they? What's going on?
They're delivering a mattress for us.
I didn't buy a mattress!
Be careful. Go to the left. Put it in the bedroom.
What's going on?
It's a mattress for you and me.
Your mattress isn't fit for use, Baby.
What did you call me?
Baby?
Who are you calling Baby? Who's your baby?
Why did you buy a mattress for me?
Hey--
Thank you, have a good day.
Why did you buy a mattress?
Baby?
Baby, your ass. You're asking for a beating.
You really want to get beaten up.
What's this attitude? I think of you for everything.
This is how you repay me?
What are you up to now?
- You don't get it? - I don't.
This is how you like someone?
You're just using me for your own entertainment.
How can you have so little confidence in yourself?
Actually, aside from being a bit old
having a tacky sense of fashion, and having an average appearance
you don't have any other flaws.
You said I have an average appearance?
You can't be considered as beautiful as a fairy, right?
I'm really going to--
How much was the mattress? I'll send you the money.
29,000 yuan.
Do you see this? 29,000 yuan.
Get out of here now.
I made such a touching gesture. Can't I have a kiss goodbye?
Kiss goodbye? Kiss goodbye?
How could you buy a 29,000 yuan mattress?
- Get the hell out! - I'm leaving, I'm leaving!
Damn kid.
He actually bought a 29,000 yuan mattress! I'm so pissed!
I regret not beating him to death.
So pissed!
Let me sleep on it.
Here, Honey.
From now on, I'll be responsible for earning money to support us.
You'll be responsible for being as beautiful as a flower.
Sweetie.
- I want to ask you something. - Go ahead.
Do you think I should take this project?
Do you get a cut?
Yes.
If I get this money
the entire mortgage for the house won't be a problem anymore.
You must go. Honey, you're incredible.
Here, a toast to you.
Honey, I'll ask you a question too.
Go ahead.
Are you happy doing this?
What's the matter? Did I say the wrong thing?
You asked a very good question. That is what I wanted to hear.
That is why I was willing to marry you, Ding Ren Jian.
I'll answer you now.
As long as we can have a home of our own
and as long as you and Man Yi can live a good life
I'll be happy.
I'll drink now.
So forthright? I'll drink too, then.
It does taste much better than that 18.2 yuan bottle.
Here, Honey.
Let's get drunk tonight!
When you’ve had too much to drink, your pillow will be thinking of you.
When people drink red wine, they swirl and then sniff.
What do they smell? I can't smell anything special.
First question.
The first question.
Why did you throw such a big project at our company?
Do you have some personal motive for doing this?
I rejected so many of the country's top AAAA major advertising agencies
and tossed such a big piece of pie to you guys.
It's because of you.
Do you...
want me to repay you in some way?
Yes.
I do.
Dad, don't walk me out. Ren Jian is waiting for me over there.
While I'm away, I'll be leaving Man Yi to you.
Don't worry. He's my dear grandson!
It's just that I've never been away from Man Yi for so many days.
This is for you.
The things Man Yi is to eat every day are recorded on here
as well as supplementary nutrition.
There's also studying time.
I even have to record bowel movements?
Yes, it has to be recorded.
What time he poops and how much? Why record that?
Dad, this is important to a child's health.
I raised his dad, Ding Ren Jian.
Hasn't he already gotten married and even had a kid of his own?
I can look after a little kid.
I'll have to trouble you, then.
Man Yi, I'm leaving now.
You have to listen to Grandpa, okay?
Bye, Mom.
Come give me a kiss.
Good boy.
Be good, okay?
All right. I'm leaving now, Dad.
Be safe.
- Bye, Mom. - Bye, Man Yi.
What is all this?
Grandpa, you have to treat this chart seriously.
Of course.
Grandpa, what are we having for dinner tonight?
Oh, right!
What are we having for dinner?
I'll let you be a glutton.
Okay, how do we be gluttons?
How to be gluttons? We eat anything we want.
Very good! But my mom told you to feed me according to the chart.
Of course, but you need to eat first before you can poop.
Let's go.
Honey, although the doctor said your illness is no longer an issue
you should still rest and take your medication on time.
I know.
When you get there, give me a call to let me know you're safe.
If you're worried, don't let me go.
If you tell me to go home, I'll go home with you right now.
I'm being overly sensitive again.
Pretend I didn’t say anything. Safe travels. Bye.
Wait, wait!
Take this. Airplane air is dry. Use a facial mask.
I know.
Sweetie.
Hug me.
What's the matter, Honey?
All that I'm doing now is for our family.
But, believe me.
I definitely won't do anything to betray you or our family.
Of course I believe you!
What's wrong? Are you okay?
I'm fine.
All right, head to work.
A newly appointed official makes sweeping changes. You have to work hard.
Yes, ma'am! I've got this!
Okay, be safe.
- Bye. - Bye.
Let's go.
Uncle, is it true?
How could it not be? CEO Zhai just told me to type up an appointment letter.
Wow! You're so amazing!
- Here, have some walnut milk. - Yes, yes.
You two should drink it instead to nourish your brains
so you can catch up to my level.
- Yes, you should drink more. - You should drink more too.
- Uncle, tell us how you got this office! - And this chair!
This is a long--
Ding Ren Jian, come to my office. I need to speak with you.
CEO Zhai, let's speak here. You can take a look around my office.
CEO Zhai, I'll leave you to your work. I'll go make a cup of tea for you.
I'll go make a cup of coffee for you.
- Please sit. - No need.
These are resumes I picked out of elite millennial programmers.
Pick whomever you want, but an R&D team needs to be formed as soon as possible.
Thank you, CEO Zhai, but I don't need these resumes.
I already have a team.
You do? Who are they?
They're all my old classmates and old colleagues.
How old? Just as old as you?
Why doesn't that sound so pleasant?
Ding Ren Jian, I already showed you a great deal of respect by hiring you.
Don't push your luck.
Do you know what I see this division being to the company?
The heart!
I need a healthy, young, robust, and pumping heart.
Who are you bringing me? Old, weak, and disabled troops?
I don't operate a nursing home.
CEO Zhai, two things.
First, don't make personal attacks.
Second, most people who die a sudden death are young.
A stable heart is more important than a fast heart.
A heart that pumps too fast can easily develop problems.
Third, I am the manager. I get to make decisions on my turf.
You said you had two things to say.
I only said two things.
You clearly said three things.
Did I?
It was just one extra thing.
Fine.
Please send the resumes of you and your team
to my email as soon as possible.
I reserve the right to review and screen the qualifications of your team members
as well as yourself.
I approve.
CEO Zhai.
Thank you.
Thank you for parting with your chair and giving it to me.
Ding Ren Jian.
Human Resources seems to still be signing off on the appointment letter
and it hasn't reached your hands yet.
I guess...
So even now, your position at New Power is still as my secretary, right?
I think so...
So do something very important that a secretary should do.
Get your butt off my chair right now!
- This proposal looks promising. - Yes.
This must be your first time taking part in such an important meeting.
- How do you feel? - Awesome.
I hope that lasts.
Please get up.
Why? Nobody is sitting in this seat.
That is a seat reserved for Zen Corporation board members.
Are you one?
But the board members present have seats already.
Zen Corporation stakeholder Zhai Zhi Wei has not arrived yet.
He never attends the monthly meetings.
That was in the past. Today will be different.
Yesterday, my mom and Uncle Zhai discussed our marriage.
He will show up today.
So, please step away, will you?
Coming, coming!
I'm sorry I'm late.
May I ask where CEO Zhai sits?
What are you here for?
For work.
To protect you.
Where does CEO Zhai sit?
Who are you?
I... I'll introduce myself. Sorry about that.
My name is Ding Ren Jian.
CEO Zhai had urgent business to attend to at the last minute
so he sent me here as his authorized representative.
What urgent business?
Is it more important than attending my inauguration as board member?
Ms. Dong, yes?
CEO Zhai wanted me to pass on a message. May I whisper it into your ear?
Say it.
He said if you...
Ms. An, CEO Zhai also had a message for you.
Would you like to hear it?
He said it was his first time getting beaten up.
You had good technique and it's still fresh in his mind.
He'll do it again later.
Going by order... CEO Zhai should sit here?
Then should I be sitting here?
Ms. An, where are you sitting?
- I'll sit over there. - Okay.
Why don't you carry on?
Chairman Zhai, all board members and administrators have arrived.
Can we start the meeting yet?
Yes, we can begin.
Before we begin, there is an important announcement to make.
Vice President Qin, will you do the honors?
Sure.
Aside from the newspaper's business section
if you've looked at last week's gossip news, you should know
one of Zen Corporation's original shareholders, my husband
now my ex-husband, has officially divorced me.
He has also given all his assets to my daughter.
Therefore, my daughter will be a new board member of Zen Corporation.
Jia Xin, say a little something.
Hello, everybody. I am Dong Jia Xin.
When I was very young, I had played house at Zen Corporation.
Back then, Zen Corporation was just
a restaurant owned by my parents and Uncle Zhai.
At that age, I had already known my calling in life.
One day, I would take my parents' place here
do the same work they have done
and turn Zen Corporation into an even bigger company
and expand it even farther internationally.
I will work hard on this. I hope you will support me. Thank you.
Good, good.
Jia Xin, thank you for joining us.
Zen Corporation needs young and energetic people.
I hope to hear your suggestions and reports soon.
For today's meeting
let's begin with the flagship restaurant I am currently working on.
However, before we begin, I have a small suggestion.
As a culinary corporation that wants to take on the international market
taste stands for everything.
However, this cup of coffee fails to meet the standard.
This is a minor matter, but the devil is in the details.
In this case, let's have everybody's coffee changed out.
I've heard my mom say there is only one person in Zen Corporation
who brews coffee that meets the international standard.
I've wanted to have a taste even when I was in America.
You mean my old assistant, don't you?
However, she's now the manager of the flagship restaurant.
Chairman Zhai, why don't we trouble Manager An a bit
to make coffee for all of us here?
Manager An, go.
Yes, Chairman.
Wait, Ms. An.
Chairman Zhai, yes?
May I go make coffee with Ms. An?
At my company, I'm also the one who makes coffee.
CEO Zhai really likes the coffee I brew
and he says it also meets the international standard.
- All right, then. - Okay, I'll see you later.
Let's continue with the meeting.
Jia Xin, do you have any thoughts to share with us
regarding the flagship restaurant?
The following are my thoughts

I brewed coffee for two years.
I finally earned the chance to sit at the same table as her.
Now what?
Two years later, I'm still brewing the coffee.
What's wrong with brewing coffee? It also takes skill.
They might not be able to make coffee as well as we do.
So what's going on?
Did Zhai Zhi Wei foresee that they would give me a hard time?
