[In Life and Love]
[Episode 15]
Sneaking a break in my busy day to message my beautiful wife.
Are you sleeping? Is work going well? Is Man Yi feeling better?
Everything is great. Goodnight.
Add more water and beverages over there.
Okay, got it.
My Ding-style yogurt with nuts, a real delicacy!
Uncle.
What are you doing?
Get to work.
It's scalding hot.
That's better.
Keep going. Don't stop.
Ding, you're not going to take a break?
You'll be busy at the press conference later.
Yes, I'm so sleepy.
Why are you working like an indentured servant?
What the heck do you know?
Haven't you heard that with great power comes great responsibility?
Did you ever see Premier Zhou En Lai take a break?
Okay, okay. You haven't eaten, right?
I have dumplings. They were cooked this morning and are still warm.
There's a shrimp in every dumpling. It's very tasty.
I also have the best-looking buns in the market.
Guaranteed to keep you in high spirits.
What are you waiting for? Bring them here!
Doesn't the office have a rule that we can only eat in the lounge?
Don't trick me into violating the rules.
Bullshit rules.
When I become boss
we'll get to eat whatever we want, wherever we want.
Right. Wait until you strike it rich first.
Come on, stop wasting time.
Let me eject the hard drive first. This is the game framework.
There's nobody in the office so early. You won't lose it.
Stop dawdling. Let's go.
Ding, let's go eat and then head home to sleep.
- Okay, let's go, let's go. - Yes! We're starving.
- I'm starving too. - Let's go.
CEO Zhai.
Have you seen the contents of the presentation yet?
I got a general look yesterday. There weren't any issues. What about it?
It's nothing. I'm just asking.
When Ding Ren Jian does things... You understand.
I'm just afraid of any slip-ups.
Look. This is such an important event. He didn't even bother to come early.
Is Ding Ren Jian on his way yet?
Mister, is there any water in the car?
No.
What kind of service is this?
Other ride service apps offer water, wifi, and USB charging.
Moreover, do you know who your passengers are these days?
A high-end businessman like me could likely have stayed up working all night!
You should have some coffee or energy drinks ready!
It's an "Internet Plus" age!
What kind of attitude is this? Why did you stop the car?
I'm in a hurry! Hurry up!
What? We're even carpooling? You didn't tell me this beforehand.
Mr. Ding?
Great wits really do have short memories. You don't recognize me?
Aren't you that guy?
Mister, we'd like to speak in private.
All right.
Before we discuss business, I have a tip for you.
Chairman Tang is an old friend of yours. He wanted me to deliver a message to you.
Regardless of what happens, you two will still be good friends.
The more friends, the more options. Do you understand what I'm saying?
Understand what?
If you have something to say, be quick. I have to get to a press conference.
I'm afraid you won't make it.
Mr. Ding.
The lock code is your wife's birthday. Take a look inside.
What does he mean by this?
Chairman Tang has two proposals for you.
The first is to accept this money
and then immediately write a resignation letter.
The second is to give up this money.
He will leave open for you a position that is the same as the one you have now.
The salary will be double what you have now.
I don't understand what this--
You don't need to understand right now, but you will very soon.
Chairman Tang said you two are old classmates after all.
Business and friendship are separate.
He can't let you be a sacrificial victim in a game of interests.
What are you talking about? Where is Tang? I'm going to call him.
Chairman Tang is abroad on a business trip and can't speak with you.
What exactly is he up to?
Back in college, he already liked to do these kinds of scenes.
But I don't have the time today. I have to get to a press conference.
Don't tell me what he's up to is related to my press conference.
It's confidential. I have no comment.
No comment? Then get out of the car.
Wait!
Take it away.
Mr. Ding, Chairman Tang had anticipated you would have this reaction.
He said these two proposals will be on the table for 24 hours.
You are welcome to come find me at the office at any time.
Wait!
I have a question for you.
How much money is in the case?
500,000 yuan.
Cool.
Do you mean Chairman Tang?
I'm talking about myself.
I resisted a 500,000 yuan sugar-coated bullet. I'm much too cool!
Let's go.
Hello, Chairman Tang.
As you guessed, he rejected the offer.
Keep in touch.
Okay. By phone is just fine.
What's the matter?
It's nothing.
I'm going to swim.
[How much longer can one live with advanced breast cancer?]
Did you get in touch with the old guy?
No, his phone is not in the service area.
Ding Ren Jian, I'm going to kill you.
He's here, CEO Zhai! Manager Ding is here!
- Boss, sorry, sorry. I got held up. - I'll deal with you later.
- Did you bring the USB? - Yes, yes.
Hello, guests and friends of the new media and we media
and ladies and gentlemen.
The press conference for
New Power Company's newest game, Reverence and Honor, will now begin.
Allow me to bring you
an all-new visual experience and mind-blowing session.
If at any moment you feel dizziness or trouble breathing
as a result of constantly having your mind blown
please raise your hand to indicate so.
We will immediately provide you with the freshest oxygen.
What is that?
This is a short advertisement before the main show begins
presented to all employers in the IT industry
who have hired married men ages 30 and over.
This employee of yours
will spend much more time browsing such pictures on your computers
than writing a good program for you.
However, if you will just show them a little more tolerance and support
they will deliver a miracle.
This is our Reverence and Honor!
Come dry off.
Thank you.
I'm heading back for a shower.
We have lunch with the director of the Tourism Administration.
There's also a marketing meeting on the overall advertising in the afternoon.
I canceled them.
I've also booked two flight tickets back without asking your consent first.
Why?
Some things you can keep from Ding Ren Jian
but there's no need to do so with me, Lin Yue.
It's time to put an end to this.
In every person's mind is an empire of their own.
Every person wants to be a ruler.
Carry reverence in our hearts and fight for honor.
That is New Power's corporate culture.
It is also the virtual world of our own that we want to create.
This world may be virtual, but the dream is real.
Three years spent on creation, 25 million yuan invested.
A total of 208 programmers and marketing personnel
who participated in the creative process.
Average age, 23 years old.
Reverence and Honor was our original goal in developing this game.
It is also New Power's weapon.
I believe in the near future, New Power will rely on it to become
an even stronger, more indestructible, more unsurpassable "New Empire Power."
Sir, I know this game really tests everyone's IQ
but I'm sorry, it is not time for questions yet.
So, our first--
We have time reserved for questions later. Please be patient.
Since there are so many who can't wait, then let's start with you.
Do you have a question?
I'd like to ask if it would be too rude to leave now.
What did you say?
I mean this press conference is just so boring.
I'd like to leave now.
Certainly. That is your right.
If my guess is right, you aren't the only one who wants to leave.
What's going on?
So it's like this? All right.
New Power's press conferences never lack an audience.
Please do as you wish. Let's continue.
Still so immature.
Even now, you still won't admit you've lost.
You always think the whole world is yours.
Allow me to give you a word of advice as your senior.
Before I came, I had very high expectations.
After all, in the last two years
New Power Company has quickly become a rising star.
However, I now have to say I am greatly disappointed.
If you weren't so complacent
hadn't spent so much time gracing fashion magazine covers
hadn't been so busy socializing with third-rate celebrities on Weibo
and had paid more attention to the latest news in the industry
you would have known there is a game called Empire
that has already been released on Tang Enterprise's homepage
for a full 24 hours.
The number of downloads has already surpassed similar games by 10 percent.
It is currently ranked among the top 10 hot mobile games
and continuously climbing
with waves of positive reviews coming in.
As far as I know, from the design to the game mechanics
this game of yours is hardly any different from Empire.
All sorts of details make this seem suspiciously like an imitation.
I'm very curious
why you would hold this press conference to waste everyone's time.
Why are you releasing a game that someone else has already created?
Sir, have we met somewhere before?
I am the deputy director of Tang Enterprise, Li He Ran.
Not only have I met you before
I've also met with many of your team's members.
Oh, right.
This morning, I also met with Ding Ren Jian in my car.
What nonsense are you spouting? Your car? I was in a taxi...
Can you help me play this?
I want to prove to everyone that everything I said today was true.
What is Tang's intention?
Why would he release a game so similar to ours?
Mr. Ding, you aren't officially employed by Tang Enterprise yet
so discussing this in front of your former boss
is probably inappropriate.
Manager Ding, please plug it in for him.
I also really want to see
just how high the degree of similarity is between these two games.
How can this be? How can this be?
Investigate! Our game framework was leaked before release!
I need to know who the mole was.
Start investigating with the R&D Division manager, Ding Ren Jian!
And pull all the games from the shelves!
Write this down.
Ms. Dong.
Don't you knock before entering someone's room?
Yes. I don't knock because this isn't someone else's office.
Very soon, it will be my office.
Oh.
Why are you inviting me?
I didn't have to
but I want to release the new dishes I designed for the flagship restaurant
during this small engagement party.
Uncle Zhai wants you to come have a taste
so that someone won't say
I got the position of manager of the flagship restaurant
by relying on my future husband's family.
Of course, you can decline the invitation.
I'll consider it your automatic forfeit.
Nevertheless, I can reserve an executive assistant position for you.
Thank you. I will consider it.
That is, if this engagement party is actually held.
See you there, then.
20G, 21IBG.
Okay.
[Live: Unexpected situation at New Power's new game press conference]
[Chaos at the scene]
Did you give an invitation to her?
Yes.
Why did you do that?
If I want a beautiful win, of course my opponent has to be standing before me.
How immature.
Do you really think this is a love game?
Don't you know this is actually our two families--
Vice President Qin, there is a Chairman Pan here to see you.
I know.
Jia Xin, go home first.
I have things to discuss with Chairman Pan.
Chairman Pan?
Isn't he the property developer
who got rich by selling unfinished buildings?
Why did he come to Zen Corporation?
Don't meddle in adult business.
All right, go now.
Chairman Pan, did you deliver the message to Li Dong Ye?
Yes. It's as you expected.
He really doesn't know what's good for him.
In this case, we don't need to play nice.
Give him a little scare.
Okay.
Everyone's here.
The only ones not here are the ones on your team
and my third administrative secretary, Ms. Wang Zhen Zhen.
They are all very close to you, aren't they?
I'll call them right now.
I will pay you back for this phone.
However, what I want to tell you is
I just received five resignation letters in my email inbox.
Moreover, a reliable source has confirmed
these few who are close to you, our former coworkers
are already officially employed in
the R&D Division of a media company belonging under Tang Enterprise.
All the way to Sanlitun Road?
The lock code is your wife's birthday.
They hold equivalent positions to what they had here.
I also have another piece of news.
This media company's R&D Division manager position
is so far still vacant.
So, I really want to know where you have the courage to stand in front of me.
Are you suspecting me of being a mole?
Are you not?
Let me ask you.
Wasn't the hard drive that contained the game framework
in your possession all along?
I have dumplings.
They're still warm.
What are you waiting for? Bring them here!
Doesn't the office have a rule that we can only eat in the lounge?
Is there vinegar and garlic?
Everything's ready for you. They'll turn cold soon. I'm starving.
And when you came to our company for an interview
who was the one who recommended you here?
A new online gaming company is hiring right now.
Tang Xiao Gang.
Very good. I admire your courage.
Please leave now.
Go to Accounting to pick up
your wages for this month and compensation for the phone.
In addition, I also want to tell you...
I reserve the right to pursue legal action against you
for leaking the company's trade secrets.
CEO Zhai, if this is Tang Xiao Gang's doing
I will get to the bottom of it for you.
Get out.
Get out!
You guys keep working. I'm going to take a look in Old Town.
By the way, if Chairman Pan and Vice President Qin drop by
tell them to leave.
Leave?
I will bear the consequences.
Don't worry, Dong Ye. Take your time.
- What are you doing? - You'll know later.
Getting back at me?
Listen, I have work to do today.
I don't have time to play with you. Get out.
How narrow-minded.
Don't worry. I'm not here to get revenge.
Can't you think of this as catching a ride from you?
What's this?
Are you scared?
Who's afraid of you?
Where's Tang Xiao Gang?
Sir, do you have an appointment?
What appointment? I've never had to make an appointment!
Tang Xiao Gang! Come out!
Tang Xiao Gang!
Uncle? How come you're here?
Don’t call me Uncle.
I don't know you.
I will never be acquainted with you guys!
Traitors!
Mr. Ding, Mr. Ding.
I don't want to talk to you! Stop following me!
Chairman Tang really isn't here.
I'll wait for him in his office.
Actually, you also have an office here.
Chairman Tang promised those two offers are on the table for 24 hours.
I said I don't want to waste my time with you!
He gave me 24 hours, right? I'll give him 24 hours as well!
I give him 24 hours to show up in front of me!
Hello, Chairman Tang.
Mr. Ding also happened to come to the office.
Okay, okay.
He just landed. He's coming to see you right away.
Where exactly are you going?
To where you're going.
I'm going to Old Town.
Me too.
Beautiful?
Passable.
Am I more beautiful
or is your best friend An Qing Huan more beautiful?
An Qing Huan, of course!
Then how come you're not pursuing her?
In this world, some people are destined to be lovers
while some people are destined to be best friends forever.
We're destined to be best friends forever.
Oh, come on. I don't believe in pure friendships.
What do you believe in, then? Isn't it just money?
Not that either. I believe in myself.
Give me a break. Let me tell you.
In this world, the one who lies to you the most is yourself.
That's only so with you common people. I've always been honest with myself.
Why is a big man like you driving at a turtle's pace? Can't you drive faster?
Watch what you're saying.
It's because I'm afraid of scaring you.
Try scaring me.
We're here.
Okay, go do what you need to do.
This isn't your sofa at home. Get out of the car.
I suddenly decided to catch another ride.
I'm in no hurry though. I can wait for you.
Do you even know where I'm going?
I'll go where you're going.
Hello?
Yes, I'm right outside.
Okay, okay. I'm coming right away. Okay.
- Xiao Li! - Hi.
- Hi, Sis. How are you? - You're finally here.
- Is this it? - Yes, come on in.
Okay. This place sure is nice.
Idiot. You didn't even know I saved you.
I just saw...
Are you here to see him?
If you're here to see him, I've already fired him!
- Uh... - What?
Are you ready to lay your cards on the table with Ding?
I need to think about it some more.
How long?
Not long.
You know I don't have much time left.
Don't be so pessimistic.
If treatment doesn't work here, we'll go abroad.
I'll hire the world's best doctors for you.
Even if I go bankrupt, I'm going to make sure you live.
Thank you for your goodwill, Tang.
But you know why I agreed to come back with you.
Of course.
I've already made preparations.
As soon as you agree, I can send Man Yi to America.
I will also set up a trust fund for him
and guarantee he will never want for anything.
I still would like to know how long I have to wait.
A month or a week?
Since I've already decided, I won't stall any longer.
Just one day.
I will give you an answer tomorrow.
Okay.
Be careful.
If he raises a hand against you, call me immediately.
- Send Ms. Lin home. - Yes, Chairman Tang.
Doctor, just be honest with me.
Is this your husband?
Yes.
Hello? Man Yi?
This is Mom.
Yes, I'm back.
Why don't you come home early today?
I miss you.
See you later.
Mister, we can go now.
Is it reasonable for a woman to carry around a first aid kit?
I lost my parents at a very young age.
I've taken care of myself ever since I was a kid.
I was bullied a lot
so I had to fight a lot of fights on my own.
However, I've noticed we have something in common.
We both like to get hurt.
Are you here again to see that old guy for your menu?
- I came to see you. - Me?
This is the biggest surprise of the day.
What is it?
I heard you're getting engaged to Dong Jia Xin tomorrow.
I originally didn't believe it
but after seeing you like this, I believe it now.
That was my dad's idea. I never agreed to it.
I suggest you agree to it.
What's that look for? Am I wrong?
Since the first day I met you
you've been the pampered boy who goes running to his dad's office for checks.
Now that your company has hit such a big bump in the road
aren't you going to go home to be your dad's obedient son?
Are you making fun of me right now?
No.
I'm riling you up.
You'll go to tomorrow's engagement party, right?
I'll consider it.
I suggest you go.
Why?
To watch a show. Maybe there'll be an unexpected surprise.
Whether you acknowledge it or not, I helped you last time.
You're repaying the favor tomorrow.
Willing to work with me?
What is it you want me to do?
Go back inside.
It's nothing. We're all family.
Xiao Li, we're putting all our hopes on you.
- We only trust you. - It's not a problem.
You all watched me grow up. We're all family. It's going to be okay.
Don't worry, leave it to me.
Uncle Li, go back inside.
Auntie Zhang, you go back home too.
Okay, okay. No need to see me out.
Okay, bye!
Let's go back inside.
Okay, okay.
I thought you might have some awareness. Can you just leave on your own?
If I had left already
how could I see such an intimate and touching scene?
What do you mean?
Is there anybody in real estate who is truly a good person?
All right. Today, I'll show you what a selfless model citizen looks like.
Get out of the car.
You drive too slowly. Dare to let me drive?
Why not? You drive, then.
There's no rush. Slow down.
What were you doing? Why did you race him?
It wasn't on purpose! I just wanted to scare him a bit.
Scare him a bit? Look at the trouble you caused!
What do I do?
Hey!
Hey, are you okay?
Hey, why is he...
- Mom. - Why is he leaving?
We've already discovered the guy you sent.
Don't send any more people.
Hey, hey.
Explain yourself.
What is the meaning of this?
When my mom's first restaurant opened for business
someone stirred up trouble.
Two months later, that person fell and broke his right leg in an accident.
In my mom's first time financing, the investor was an old conman.
He profited a lot off of her.
Three months later
he was sentenced to six years in prison for a criminal dispute.
My mom's husband, as in my dad
merely held different views from hers.
I'm sure you've seen the news about
a wealthy businessman and young star being caught in an adulterous act.
That young star was someone my mom hired.
And your best friend, An Qing Huan, merely wore the same outfit my mom did.
You saw what happened.
I don't understand what this means.
Is there something wrong with your head?
You've offended my mom, you know?
Those who offend her all have bad ends.
If not for me, you would be the one who had an accident!
I understand that, but I don't understand why you saved me.
I don't like my mom like this.
Even though I know everything we have now was obtained through those means
I still hate her like this.
Forget it. Just pretend nothing happened today.
I promise this won't happen again.
Where are you going? I'll give you a ride.
I'm getting engaged tomorrow.
My mom is giving me to someone who dumped me.
Do you still want to be a black knight?
