[Episode 23]
Stop.
Sorry, this is private property.
Those who aren't members are not allowed in.
Okay, but--
What does he mean? We can't go in?
What? He says it's private property. How can that be?
He won't let us in.
Forget it. Let's just go back to buy the gloves.
At least, it will be from Hungary It's the thought that counts.
Ding Ren Jian, do you know why you lost your wife and son?
Why did I lose them?
By making do.
I've noticed your life philosophy is to make do.
You thought that if your wife and son were clothed, fed, and healthy
then there was no need to worry.
You don't seek anything in life.
I don't want to force anyone to do anything.
Being content with what I have leads to happiness.
Contentment leads to happiness? So, are you happy now?
The one who cried himself to sleep in the bathtub last night?
Who was crying? I was tired.
Let me explain something.
If you want to obtain something in this world
you have to pay what it's truly worth.
Why do you think Tang Xiao Gang couldn't get those shares?
He has more money than you, doesn't he?
He couldn't do it because you earned Bastian's trust with your kind act.
So, if you want your son
you can't just swipe your card and buy any random thing.
You have to make an effort.
You're right.
I really can't just go through the motions.
I can't keep fooling myself.
- I can't keep fooling my son, either. - Yes!
- I need to get an authentic autograph. - Yes.
But how will I get in?
Let me make a call.
My friend found out for me.
Hugo eats at the same restaurant every day.
Let's go wait for him at the restaurant to get his autograph. Let's go.
- Hey, are you ready? - Yes.
He's coming.
- Excuse me. - Hi, excuse me. Can you...
Sorry.
That bodyguard must be at least two meters tall.
They look really intimidating.
Forget it. I didn't think it would be like this.
You can't get close to him at all.
What do I do?
You just gave me an idea.
What goes in must come out.
Even if he's a star, he can't... Right?
I'll wait for him in the restroom.
Don't do anything drastic and embarrass our country.
Don't worry.
Even when our magnificent country begs others for help
it does so with dignity.
- Hi, excuse me. - What?
- Mr. Hugo? - What?
Uh... I'm a... magician from eastern Asia.
Uh...
If you sign this for me I... I can make it disappear!
Hey, how did it go?
Did the bodyguards beat you up?
No.
But, Mr. Hugo looked quite angry.
I couldn't understand what he was saying, but I'm sure he was cursing me out.
Just forget it. I don't think you're going to be able to get his autograph.
You already tried your best. Let's go.
Tricked you!
Wow!
Wow, you're amazing. How did you do it?
I performed a little East Asian magic.
Way to go. You're awesome.
Tricked you again.
In the end, I told him the truth.
I said my son was a big fan and would like his autograph.
Man Yi should be satisfied now.
Man Yi.
I got you an awesome gift.
What's this?
That's Hugo Lloris's autograph!
Dad, did you see him in person?
Of course.
Is he the same as he is on TV?
Foreigners all look about the same to me. Just minor differences.
Dad, where did you see him?
You see?
Here.
Right here, right here!
Uh... Don't ask me where I saw him.
In any case, I saw him, and we had a friendly chat.
Is that true? You're so cool! I love you so much!
Of course. Who do you think I am?
Dad, I'll be waiting for you to come back.
Don't worry. I will hold out until you get back.
Okay, Man Yi. I can't talk anymore. I'll come see you after I land.
Okay.
- Bye. - Bye.
Hi.
The fountain at Erzsébet Square.
Thank you.
What did you say?
What is this place?
This is a famous wishing fountain in Hungary.
If you make a wish in your heart and toss in a coin
the wish will come true.
It really works.
It's that magical?
What did you wish for?
I can't tell you. If I tell you, it won't come true.
You should make a wish too. It really works.
Just look at how many coins are in there. A lot of people come here to make wishes.
Try it. After all, you're here.
What are you doing?
I'm showing my sincerity.
Why do you need to take off your jacket for that?
I can't go in with my clothes on, so I'll take them off to show my sincerity.
Don't catch a cold.
I, Ding Ren Jian, stand here today at Hungary's most famous wishing fountain
to announce to the whole world that
with my own abilities, I got 15 percent of Zen Corporation's shares!
I defeated Tang Xiao Gang!
I have the means now!
I have the wherewithal to fight this world!
I have the wherewithal to fight Tang Xiao Gang!
I'm going to take back my wife!
I'm going to bring home my son!
I'm going to live a happy life with them! That is my wish!
I will risk it all for them!
What a passionate speech!
That was so emotional!
That was very touching.
However, I want to tell you something.
Go ahead.
Your jacket fell into the water.
And I think the photograph is still in the pocket.
Ding Ren Jian, you can't jump in!
You can't go in there! You'll catch a cold!
You can't do this!
What do I do now? I made a promise to my son.
The autograph is blurry now.
Do you think my son will believe me if I tell him it fell into the water?
Probably not.
In for a penny, in for a pound!
What are you going to do?
I'm going to sign over it.
I might as well sign it for you, then.
If you can do it, then you do it.
I'll do it.
Anybody can trace a signature.
That's right.
Aren't there still traces of ink left behind?
There's still a faint trace.
Vice President Qin's daughter comes to Old Town District
and is even friendly with the residents.
Something doesn't seem right.
Can't Vice President Qin's daughter get along with the residents?
She can.
But I think it's more of an act.
Does it look like I'm acting?
Not really.
That's what makes it seem even stranger.
What's strange about it?
My mom told me to scope out the situation here.
I already had my own ideas.
Now I can pitch a more persuasive argument to my mom.
It's as simple as that.
Can I understand that to mean that you have the same opinion I do?
I only agree that there's uniqueness to this neighborhood and the people.
It's not as simple as subsidizing their relocation.
Moreover, I won't be yielding this land to you so easily.
I can persuade my mom to revise the reconstruction proposal.
Persuade your mom? Do you believe your own words?
I can bring her here.
Even if you bring her here 300 times, she still won't agree to that idea.
Then, I'll think of something else.
In any case, I'm doing what I want to do.
I find it very meaningful.
You're not the only one who has the right to speak out on this.
I understand now.
I have another competitor in the mix.
Aside from your mother, you're in the mix now, too.
Oh, wait.
What if your mother finds out you're not on her side
and she transfers you elsewhere?
Don't try to hide it from me.
I know what you've been doing here.
What else do you know?
I also know a proverb.
Like mother, like daughter. A chip off the old block.
Do you think this is your territory, and everybody has to be on your side?
How self-righteous.
Follow me if you dare.
Go on, then.
If these old buildings are torn down, I'll miss them.
Yes, we've been neighbors all these years.
Yes, that's right.
Jia Xin is here.
Uncles and Aunties!
Xiao Li is here too!
Auntie.
This is a surprise. You all know each other already.
Right? My daughter has been coming back often.
She's been discussing the store opening with Jia Xin.
Don't think you can win others with just small favors.
No matter how much they like you
they have more important things and people on their mind.
Xiao Li, it's not that we don't know the good you've done for us.
We just want to ask if there's a plan that doesn't include demolition
or if you are going to persist with your idea.
Uncle, we're not demolishing anything. We're remodeling.
Jia Xin's plan is remodeling.
Whatever you all say, it's still the same.
Isn't it taking the good things, friendships, and ties between neighbors
and including them in your plan
and moving them all to a high-rise building?
The kind where you can fart in an elevator and blame it on someone else?
Uncle, I do understand where you're coming from. It's true.
I also really want to preserve these old buildings.
I studied classic architecture.
However, I'll be honest with you.
It's not that we didn't consider your plan.
But, because there are just a handful of shops
there will be many that are not accounted for.
In the end, because of this imbalance, more conflicts will arise.
Why don't we discuss this among ourselves
and get a few families together to rent a store?
Yes! I'm sure there is a way to solve the primary concern.
That's right.
If even a young lady like Jia Xin can think of this
then surely your superiors can, as well!
In fact, there are plenty of solutions.
It's a question of whether or not you guys want to do it.
- Yes. - That's right.
- Keep thinking of a solution. - Communicate with each other.
Those are the details of the situation.
So, taking into account Chairman Zhai Tao's current health
and, of course, his performance as chairman over the past few years
let's now carry out the final round of votes.
Those in favor of dismissing Zhai Tao from the position of board chairman
please raise your hand.
I abstain.
What's the situation?
Let's talk later. There's no time. The last round of voting has begun.
Did you bring it?
Here's the authorization letter for 15 percent of the shares.
This will change things.
Let's go.
Hello?
Okay, I know. Let him in.
In addition, I need to announce
there has been a large shift in the distribution of the company's shares.
Of course, I don't want to use this as
a threat to an elder who has been kind to me
and exercise my rights as majority shareholder.
That would be unfair to him.
It is legal but unmerciful.
I do have affection and loyalty.
With regard to the shares
I will make an official announcement after this meeting.
According to the results of our vote just now
I now officially announce...
No need to do that.
My father appreciates your friendship, even if it is fake.
This is Bastian's signed authorization
for the transfer of 15 percent of Zen Corporation's shares.
My friend, Mr. Ding Ren Jian, is receiving these shares.
He is here to cast his vote.
So, the majority shareholder with 34 percent of shares is still my father.
Just now, my father was discharged from the hospital.
The hospital's exams show he is in good physical health.
So, I believe he will be back very soon
to see all of you who have supported him and will continue to do so.
Who says those 34 percent shares are still in Zhai Tao's possession?
Take a look.
I am the shareholder with 34 percent of the shares.
Hello, Chairman Zhai. Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Mr. Tang.
I know who you are.
You are the one who ruined my son's company.
Your son is a very talented young man.
However, because of his personality, he is not suited to be in management.
He is too egotistical and idealistic.
His business concept is to create his own brand
instead of concentrating on creating a corporate culture.
Nobody would be willing to throw his money behind a pretty boy
who only wants to grace magazine covers and newspaper headlines.
His pompous life of fun and games is destined to fail.
Even if I weren't in the picture
his behind-the-scenes investors would not permit him to simply show off
without any form of profit, either.
Did you come here today to teach me how to raise my son?
I wouldn't dare.
I came to see you.
I have a few documents here that I'd like you to review.
Madam!
These two from the prosecutor's office are here to see you.
Prosecutor's office?
Hello, we're from the division in charge of economic cases.
At 9 a.m. this morning, a complaint was filed against your husband, Zhai Tao
for the illegal transfer of corporate shares and assets.
There is sufficient evidence to file an investigation.
Please cooperate with our investigation and evidence collection.
This is from March to May of last year.
This is a copy of the collateral agreement
between Zen Corporation and Hongwen Incorporated.
This is a record of transfer
of four loans you received from Hongwen Incorporated
which you transferred directly to New Power Company.
I'm deeply moved.
All along, I thought you were a callous businessman.
How unexpected that you are
a compassionate father who would go to great lengths to help your son.
How did you obtain these?
It was purely an unintentional discovery.
In the beginning, I only wanted to take over your son's company.
But, I've always been very curious about
who New Power's financial backer was.
Call it my astute business intuition.
I found this Hongwen Incorporated to be quite interesting
so I spent some time investigating.
I learned this company that has repeatedly invested in New Power
is just a shell company that's not even two years old.
Moreover, the one it had the most business dealings with
was you, Zhai Tao, chairman of Zen Corporation.
From this, I made some relatively reasonable connections.
For example?
During the economic crisis at the end of last year
Zhai Zhi Wei wasn't the only one who took a hit.
I also suffered huge losses and almost didn't pull through.
How I wish I had a father
who would choose to sacrifice himself in order to protect his son.
Unfortunately, my father
is just a farmer in a small, poverty-stricken county of Shandong.
His bank account only holds his life savings of...
a few thousand yuan.
In the span of six months
I had to successively close down three subsidiary companies
in order to pull through.
It was during this time
that Zhai Zhi Wei expanded his game development team
and invested heavily in pre-release publicity.
We were making mobile games that had the same concept.
He was at least three steps ahead of me.
If his game was released before mine
it would mean that my entire team's two years of hard work
would yield no returns.
But, that was not to be my fate.
Perhaps even now, Zhai Zhi Wei does not know.
He did not lose to me because of timing or lack of ability.
Instead, he lost to me because his father
could no longer make ends meet because of poor management.
Yet, rather than concede willfully
he stole money to pave the way for his son's success.
When I put down the shares as collateral to this company
it was just a stop-gap measure.
It is normal to transfer and divert funds in business.
Ultimately, I do have the ability to reclaim those shares.
I certainly believe that.
If not for the longtime internal discord between you and Qin Zhen
your sudden illness, and this financial crisis
I'm sure you would still be
playing the role of the calculating Chairman Zhai.
However, as you said, circumstances can change rapidly in business.
You transfer and divert funds
while I seize the right moment to bite.
As of just a moment ago, I successfully acquired this company.
I'm sorry.
I am presently the largest shareholder of Hongwen Incorporated.
In other words, the 34 percent of shares I have of Zen Corporation
are all now held in your possession?
Yes.
Mr. Zhai, starting today
Zen Corporation will no longer be under the Zhai name, but the Tang name.
Dear, what happened to the company? Why didn't you tell me?
Chairman Zhai, I have to get going now.
You can contact me at any time.
I will do my best to offer my services.
Who is at the house?
People from the prosecutor's office.
They said someone filed a complaint against you.
Who was it? Qin Zhen?
No.
Qin Zhen...
may have fought with me for so many years
but... she would not go so far as to send me to my doom.
She absolutely would not destroy Zen Corporation, either.
The one who filed the complaint was the young man who just left.
He is Mr. Tang.
Young people have such wild ambitions these days
He started out his enterprise in the new media field
but his company is involved in a wide range of industries.
He doesn't just want Zhi Wei's company.
He also wants our Zen Corporation
and he may even have a larger target.
He has a tremendous appetite and strikes without mercy.
Once he has a hold, he does not let go.
He is a vicious man.
What has happened to the company?
Why is Zhi Wei involved?
There have been so many years of ups and downs.
How could I allow you to worry about every little thing?
You just need to continue to live a simple and peaceful life at home.
How can I live a simple, peaceful life?
I called Zhi Wei today, but he wouldn't pick up.
You're in such poor health now.
There are so many prosecutors at our house.
What should I do? What should I do?
Don't worry.
I will think of something. Let me think.
Let me think.
- Hello? - Hello, Madam Zhai.
- Who are you? - I'm an assistant at the company.
The board voted unanimously
to temporarily revoke Chairman Zhai's duties as board chairman.
What's wrong?
Just now...
an assistant at the company called to say...
the board voted unanimously
to temporarily revoke your duties as board chairman.
Take me to the office... to the office...
To the office...
Dear! Dear! What's wrong?
Can you tell me what actually happened?
I'm talking to you.
Mom, why would you work with someone like Tang Xiao Gang?
You know that trying to tame a tiger is inviting trouble.
It was an unwise move.
I thought I could use Tang Xiao Gang
to overthrow Zhai Zhi Wei and deal with the old man.
I never expected he would have such greedy ambitions
and actually take 34 percent of shares for himself behind my back
to become an even larger shareholder than I am.
Then, he voted alongside the other shareholders
to dismiss the old man from the office.
He wants to take the chairman position.
With me here, that will be impossible.
What did he come here for?
He sure is vicious. I really underestimated him.
He came to put the nail in the old man's coffin.
With the old man's temper
I'm afraid it'll be difficult for him to pull through.
Let's go.
We're not visiting Uncle Zhai?
He's on the brink of death. Do we really need to visit him?
Immediately contact all shareholders who can be swayed.
What the hell are you doing? I was about to win!
What the hell are you doing?
Get this clear.
Everybody you defeat in here is a fictional character.
Can you face reality?
Get out!
This is my house! Why should I leave?
Fine, I will. I don't want to be in the same room as you.
Hello?
Yes, that's me.
What?
Oh, okay.
It's your mom.
I'm not answering. I'm not talking to anyone.
Your dad...
just passed away.
I got something for you and Man Yi in Hungary.
Can we meet?
I have something very important to do later.
I only have 20 minutes. Can you make it?
I'm already on the way. Don't worry. I'm just dropping it off.
- Okay. - See you later.
- Dad! - Man Yi!
Man Yi!
Did you miss me?
I missed you to death! I thought you didn't want me anymore.
How could that be? I was off doing important things.
How important? More important than me?
You're right. Nothing in the world is more important than my son.
Look what I brought you.
Is this really his autograph?
Ah, yes. Do you like it?
Yes.
- What are you doing? - Dad, strike a cool pose.
Man Yi, can't we just keep the good things to ourselves?
No! My dad is so awesome. I want everyone in the world to know.
All right. Let's take a picture.
Let's get a handsome-looking one.
One, two, three! Yeah!
Yeah, yeah! All right.
What are you doing now?
You're posting it to Weibo?
You don't have many followers, do you?
It's so-so. Just a few thousand.
A few thousand?
All right, that's enough. It's almost time. We have to go.
Come on, Man Yi.
I don't want to leave! I want to stay with Dad a bit longer.
Be good. Get in the car first. Go on.
Man Yi, go.
Lin Yue, this is an outfit I bought for you in Budapest.
We were married for so long, but I never gave you any decent gifts.
Supposedly, it's a famous brand and was quite expensive.
I hope you like it.
Thank you.
Aren't you going to open it to take a look?
- I will. - Lin Yue.
It's almost dinnertime. Why don't I take you and Man Yi out for dinner?
I really do have something very important to do today.
I'm sorry.
Thank you for thinking of me and Man Yi.
Today is Mom and Uncle Tang's wedding rehearsal.
It's at the VIP reception hall at Wanli Hotel.
Mister, take me to Wanli Hotel.
Okay.
We're here.
Have a good day.
Dad, take me and Mom back from Uncle Tang!
I don't want you two to be apart! I want you to be together!
You're my dad! My last name is Ding!
Do you know why you lost your wife and son?
By making do.
You thought that if your wife and son were clothed, fed, and healthy
there was nothing to worry about.
You don't seek anything in life.
If you want to obtain something in this world
you have to pay what it is truly worth.
If you want your son
you can't just swipe your card and buy any random thing.
You have to make an effort.
A bit higher.
Push this chair back a bit.
Son.
Dad, you made it.
This place is decked out very tastefully.
It's way better than when your mom and I were married.
Dad, are you going to stand for this?
What can I do even if I can't stand it?
I have the wish in my heart but not the power.
Dad, wanting it in your heart is enough.
Mom and my new dad are in the middle of the wedding rehearsal.
If you're not going to attend, I'm not either.
It is sensible that I don't attend.
If you don't attend, you would stir up trouble.
Then, let's go stir up trouble, Dad.
All right, I'll listen to you.
Now, we move on to the father of the bride.
He will walk her from the entrance to the stage
and hand her over to the groom.
Has your father arrived yet?
I'm sorry, my dad's flight was delayed, so he's not going to make it.
Why don't we skip this part for now?
It's best if we do a complete walkthrough.
It would be troublesome if there were any mishaps tomorrow.
How about this?
I'll have one of the staff take your father's spot.
When your father arrives, we'll walk him through it.
If it's necessary, find someone quickly.
Sure, no problem.
Who is not busy here? Come take the place of the bride's father.
There's someone here! He'll do it!
Okay, hurry on up.
Okay, I'll do it!
You invited him?
How could I have?
So, he came uninvited?
I came on my own in a taxi.
Do I walk the bride from over there?
Yes, that's right. Just stand next to the bride.
- Let's go. - Thanks.
What are you doing? Why did you come here?
What are you up to?
Come on, honey. What are you waiting for?
Sorry. It's a habit, Mrs. Tang.
What is the meaning of this?
No special meaning. I came to help.
It's an ex-husband's obligation. Is there a problem?
Ding Ren Jian, we're in the past. You should give me your blessing.
Blessing? That's not all I'm giving.
I'm even going to walk you down the aisle.
I'm warning you. Don't do anything reckless.
I'm not being reckless. I came with a plan.
Hurry them up.
All right. Bride and father, are you ready?
Okay, come.
Walk slowly. There's no rush.
Now, the father of the bride will place the bride's hand in the groom's hand.
Let go of my wife's hand.
Your wife? Did you two get the marriage certificate yet?
We will on the day of the wedding.
Then, she's not your wife yet.
- She's not your wife, either-- - She was once.
We'll see whose wife she is in the future.
Ding Ren Jian, are you fighting me for a woman today?
Yes.
Ding Ren Jian, haven't you stirred up enough trouble?
I haven't stirred up any trouble!
Is it wrong to want my wife, my son, and the family I once had?
Many years ago
you stole her away right before my eyes, even though you knew I loved her.
I was the idiot for still thinking of you as my friend.
Confucius said, "Don't repeat mistakes."
I won't fall in the same spot twice.
Only dogs can't break the habit of eating crap.
If I let you take her away again, I am no better than a dog.
Do you smell love in the air?
I'm going to find the most beautiful girl in here!
- Is she beautiful? - She's beautiful.
That's my future wife.
Go to hell. Do you even know her?
That's not important. I will very soon.
- Are you tired? - A little bit.
Why don't we leave now? Let's go eat.
Okay! I know of a good place.
Put it on. Wear your jacket.
- I'll put it on later. - Why are you leaving so soon?
[In Life and Love]
