[Episode 27]
Hello, Mom.
- I found a new place on my own. - What?
Yes, it's a nice place. Come take a look.
All right.
Sorry.
- What were you doing last night? - Working overtime!
Where were you exactly?
Working late at the office!
That woman already sent me the messages!
- What were you doing? - What woman?
Where were you?
If you don't believe me, call Zhang!
She sent me messages today!
Bring me the phone. I'll show you.
- Is it that woman from last time? - What woman?
Zhi Wei, I made you a cup of your favorite coffee.
Come, sit.
Have a seat.
Drink it.
The cup isn't the appropriate kind.
If I had known it would be like this
I would have brought one from the old house.
But, it still tastes the same. It's your favorite coffee.
Come, try it.
Zhi Wei, have a sip.
Don't pick it up!
What are you doing? Do you think I haven't lost enough?
Why aren't you living in the condo I found for you?
Who told you to take back the deposit?
Why did you come to this kind of place to live this kind of life?
I told you that you didn't need to worry about rent. I'll figure something out!
That cup of coffee cost 20 yuan.
In the past, I was just like you.
Ever since I met your father, I have had no concept of money.
How much was 20 yuan, anyway? I really didn't know.
But, I went to the supermarket today.
I was buying daily necessities
and no matter how I calculated, I just didn't have enough money.
So, I thought
I may as well buy a can of my son's favorite coffee beans.
But now, my heart is broken.
Because that coffee isn't in my son's stomach.
Instead, it's spilled all over the floor.
In the past, when I went to the supermarket I never looked at the prices.
Nor did I know how much things cost.
But today, I realized
a can of coffee beans is not cheap.
It's very expensive.
Let's leave. He's crazy.
Let's go.
Where are you?
- Where's your room? - On the left.
Zhi Wei, what are you doing?
It's cold, and you have a bad back.
Remember to use the electric blanket at night.
I also no longer drink coffee. You don't need to buy any more.
Give me some time.
Very soon, I will move you into a place you belong.
Don't worry about the future.
Because your son is Zhai Zhi Wei.
Why haven't you left yet?
Didn't I tell you I would pay you back for the electric blanket?
Who would've imagined?
Zhai Zhi Wei, the rich boy who looked down on everyone
can't even afford an electric blanket.
I won't get sick of seeing this.
What do you want?
I get it. You want something in return?
Okay, I'll give you what you want.
Zhai Zhi Wei, why are you still as conceited and arrogant as always?
Unfortunately, I no longer like you the way I once did.
Then, what do you want?
I want you to do something for me.
Having a warm meal waiting for you when you return home
is such a blessed life!
And yet, my life experience has taught me
that anything good that falls into my lap
must be a brick.
This isn't a setup, is it?
This dinner is to thank you.
Thank you for bringing me to my senses.
Yes, success isn't just about
climbing up the ladder, earning money, and indulging.
That would make me no better than Tang Xiao Gang?
Under your guidance, my mind has reached a higher level.
I've figured it out.
On my future path to entrepreneurship
you are the best partner for me.
Now, I'll tell you what I actually want to do
as well as my core values.
I--
- Why don't you answer that later? - I should answer it now.
What if it's important?
[Hiring]
It's Zhu Gan.
I wonder what it's about. I'm going inside to answer.
Wait for me.
It's Zhu Gan. Let me get this call.
Okay, okay.
Not at all. Thank you. I'll definitely be on time tomorrow.
Thank you. See you tomorrow.
Zhu Gan is so troublesome.
What's going on?
I wasn't surprised that Zhai Zhi Wei betrayed me.
But, I never thought you'd be like that, too.
You're so disappointing!
I declare that the failures alliance has been disbanded, effective today!
But, I haven't even had a bite of that dinner yet.
That dinner was for failures.
Why did you... go through my purse?
Why did you go through my purse?
That's rude.
Hello.
I am An Qing Huan.
I'm here to interview for the general manager's assistant role.
This is my resume.
- Okay, come with me. - Thank you.
Make a cup of coffee, and bring it in.
The general manager's office is over there.
What does this mean?
Even the janitor knows how to make coffee.
So, it's best if you do too.
General Manager, here's your coffee.
Why don't you have a sip and see if it's to your liking?
Was this made with our office's coffee beans?
Yes.
It tastes different than usual.
Yes.
Actually, the same beans taste differently
under different brewing methods.
The selection of the beans, control of the temperature
intensity of the heat, and when the coffee is consumed after brewing
all influence the coffee's flavor.
The office's coffee beans have been sitting a bit too long.
The taste isn't terrible upon drinking
but the original flavor has long since been lost.
More importantly, it is unhealthy.
Therefore, I recommend buying beans that clearly indicate their roast date.
Moreover, it's best if they're replaced within seven days.
- You're the interviewee... - An Qing Huan.
Applying to be the general manager's assistant?
Assistant, yes.
- Could you? - Excuse me?
Turn in a circle? Okay.
Do you have any other questions, General Manager?
I have experience as an assistant in a large culinary corporation.
I believe that will be very helpful to my work performance in the future.
Do you have an understanding of our fishery?
Your company is very well-known in the industry.
The canned fish your company produces has received numerous awards in Europe.
Even though my previous job was in restaurant planning
I am a quick learner and highly adaptable.
I believe I can excel at this job.
Let's go. Come with me.
She's new here. She's starting today.
We're going out to take care of some business.
Why don't you come too? Get to know each other.
Why did you bring me here?
If you're planning to use your looks to move up, you should just forget it.
We'll just wait and see.
This is the fish farm that provides raw materials for our company.
We received an urgent order for canned Crucian carp.
But, we discovered that there are a lot of common carp mixed in.
Your mission is to separate them.
Don't delay. If you do, the job will go to someone else.
Why is there only one outfit? What will she be doing?
She is in charge of supervising your work.
I have other matters to attend to. I'll be leaving.
What is this?
An Qing Huan, you've got this.
You need to get this job.
It's just a few fish. What is there to be afraid of?
What did he say? Crucian carp? What do they look like?
Oh my goodness, please don't step on them.
Fishies, be good now.
Come, come.
Oh my gosh!
That wasn't so bad.
This isn't so hard.
Come on. Let me catch you.
Goodness.
What do Crucian carp look like?
Are you a Crucian carp? You are. You're a Crucian carp.
I think I knocked them out.
We're leaving.
Where are you going?
I'm finished.
I didn't think you would be able to do it so well.
Mop the floor too, then.
Be quick. I'll wait for you outside.
Hey.
Hey. Are you outside?
Open the door!
Is anyone out there? Hey!
Open up! Open up!
No signal?
There's no signal!
There's a bar.
One bar.
You were heartless, but I have to have faith.
I'll make you soup and kill you with kindness.
Speak of the devil.
Hey. What is it?
Hello?
Hello? Can you hear me?
Ding Ren Jian!
Where are you?
Here. Put this on.
Are you warmer now?
Here, drink some chicken soup.
I'll drink it later.
You're not drinking it?
They went too far.
This is outright bullying!
Don't try to stop me. I must call the police.
Call the police?
But we don't have any evidence.
I checked. There aren't any surveillance cameras here.
If they say you closed the door on yourself
it'll be your word against theirs.
But, we can't let this go.
Tell me where that manager and floozy who bullied you are.
I'll find them right now and stand up for you.
I cant believe this.
Far Seas Fishery, Daduo Road No. 100
Fengshang Microdistrict, Suite 401 in the first building.
The front office manager's office is on the left when you enter.
Turn right. The door to the left of the first restroom
is the general manager's office.
Do you have to be so specific?
Do you feel better now?
Let's get you to the hospital. We don't want you to freeze. Come on.
I think you can warm up like this too.
That's right. Little Dragon Maiden and Yang Guo used this method too.
Why didn't I think of that?
I... I'm not having any stray thoughts.
Hug me.
Aren't we hugging already?
Your arms aren't even around me. How is this considered a hug?
You can't even put your arms around me, and you say you would beat them up?
How is that the same?
I will not hold back on them.
Have you ever been in a fight, Ding Ren Jian?
I...
Does being beaten up count?
I knew it.
What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me?
I must take on this fight.
My spectacular transformation will depend on this fight.
I'm a tough guy too.
Okay, deal. When are you going to beat them up?
I'll have to consult the almanac and pick a good date.
What are you laughing at?
It's a very big deal. Of course, I have to pick an auspicious date.
- Do you feel better? - No, I'm so cold. I'm freezing to death.
Hug me!
I'm so cold! I'm going to freeze to death.
- Okay, okay. - Hug me.
Arms!
I'm so cold.
Isn't this indecent?
- I'm going to catch a cold. - Okay, okay.
I really am not having any stray thoughts.
I'm so cold.
No stray thoughts, no stray thoughts.
You...
Why are you back?
I already suffered so much to get the job. Why wouldn't I be here?
But, my MMA trainer boyfriend wants me to tell you something.
Don't wear high heels.
You can run faster that way.
I'm going to make coffee. Want some?
I already told her what you told me to say.
But, isn't "MMA trainer" going a bit overboard?
Can you do this?
I have to.
I, Ding Ren Jian, do have a temper.
Even if it's a fight, it must be done splendidly.
Excuse me! Ring this up for me!
[18 Dragon-Subduing Palms]
- Hi, Jia Xin. - Hello.
Put this on. You'll be up in a bit.
Dong Jia Xin, I agreed to help out at this charity auction
but I didn't agree to dance.
Who do you take me for? A street performer?
You agreed to this. This is what I wanted your help with.
Dance on stage and bring in some donations.
I only had you buy an electric blanket for my mom.
Are you deliberately messing with me?
So what if I am?
You don't even know who invited you?
I don't know. It was sent anonymously.
It said I had to come, and it would be worth my while.
Since we're here, we might as well enjoy it.
This kind of place will definitely have a free buffet!
What you just saw was
a street dance performance by our special guests.
- It's Zhai Zhi Wei. - Did you like it?
Yes!
- He dances pretty well. - Let's give another round of applause.
Now, our next auction item is--
The lead dancer, please wait.
Are you New Power's Zhai Zhi Wei?
That really is Zhai Zhi Wei.
I heard his company just folded.
When will you be able to pay us back what your company owes us?
One should pay off his debts.
One must keep to his word and acknowledge his debts.
Don't you all agree?
- Yes, pay us back! - You promised me.
You have to pay back your debts.
What are you doing? Stay out of it.
It's a personal feud.
Please, Mr. Zhai Zhi Wei. In front of everyone today...
Why stay out of it?
It's obvious Dong Jia Xin is messing with him.
It's not every day someone gets to mess with him.
Ding Ren Jian, can't you have a bigger heart?
You want to kick him when he's down?
I'm happy for him.
Usually, he just acts manly.
Today, he gets the chance to really be a man.
Just watch.
What's the matter? Are you looking for a way to back out?
This place is so messy, and they don't even clean it up.
Be careful, will you? What if she hears you?
Auntie used to have four maids. She wouldn't know how to clean house.
- Have a seat. - Okay.
Zhi Wei is sleeping. What happened today?
Actually, it's really nothing. It's nothing.
Auntie, don't worry about it.
You two won't tell me anything.
Zhi Wei won't tell me anything. His father wouldn't tell me anything, either.
No matter what happens, nobody ever tells me anything.
I know you're afraid I'll worry.
But, do you know?
Sometimes, the more I'm kept in the dark, the more I worry.
Auntie, it's really nothing.
Zhi Wei just encountered some setbacks and feels a bit at a loss.
Don't worry though. We're here for him.
- He will surely bounce back. - That's right.
Thank you. You two are so nice.
By the way, Auntie, do you eat takeout all the time?
That's so unhealthy.
Why don't you cook?
I don't know how to cook.
There are ready-to-cook foods in the supermarket
that are specifically for people like you, who don't know how to cook.
They're also quite convenient.
I'm sorry. I actually don't know how to pay at the supermarket.
It's like this.
In the past, the maid always bought everything.
I only went once in a while.
I picked the things I wanted and went back to the car to wait.
So, the supermarket process and checkout are all things I am not familiar with.
It's okay. It's not a big deal.
Auntie, since we're here, we'll help you tidy up.
You don't have to.
Oh, right! I heard some water dripping. I'll fix the water pipes, too.
Yes, the toilet seemed to flush slowly. Auntie, we'll fix that for you too.
He's very good at fixing things. He's as good as a handyman.
Yes, yes. Thanks for the praise.
No, no, you really don't have to.
Our maid will be here tomorrow to clean up for me.
Auntie, you still have a maid?
No, our maid comes to our house every week to clean.
We don't have to pay.
Oh, okay.
I think we should leave now.
- We'll visit you and Zhai Zhi Wei again. - Yes, yes.
Okay, I won't keep you any longer.
I'm really sorry about the mess today.
I used to have a beauty treatment every night before bed.
Now, I just make do with a facial mask.
So...
Ding Ren Jian, I need to talk to you.
What? You want to borrow my 2.6 million yuan?
What do you plan to do with it?
As you can see, my mother and I can't live this kind of life.
So you're going to live beyond your means?
So, I'm going to think of a way to earn money as fast as possible.
I need money. Will you lend it to me or not?
Of course not.
That is 10 years of hard-earned money my wife and I saved.
Why should I lend it to you?
What if I promise to pay you back twofold?
I'm not a loan shark.
What could I do to you if you don't pay me back?
I already have a loan receipt ready. You just need to sign.
I'll pay you back twofold with interest in three days.
You're just screwing with me. Three days? How could you earn so much in three days?
Do you think you're a money printing machine?
Do you know about stock index futures?
I can use 2.6 million yuan with a 10-to-1 leverage ratio.
I have insider information from a friend in the industry.
I'll email all the information to you.
You can assess it for yourself and decide if you want to do this.
Is your inside source reliable?
It's not my first time working with him.
I took the first funds my dad gave me
and made a gamble under my friend's suggestion.
That's how I was able to grow my business.
If you win this gamble, how much could you earn?
At least tenfold.
Then, I want a threefold return!
You're not really going to lend him the money, are you?
I've been studying this all night.
His insider information really could be a dark horse
if it turns out to be true...
And if it's not true?
Zhai Zhi Wei may not have the greatest personality
but I have to admit that I admire his business sense and judgment.
And with this insider information, I think this is viable!
I think you guys are acting purely like gamblers.
In the third year of Han Dynasty's Emperor Gaozu's reign
the Han army and Zhao army waged war in Jingxing.
The Han army's General Han Xin took advantage
of the careless attitude of Zhao army's Commander Chen Yu.
He arranged his troops with their backs to the water
a military strategy greatly advised against.
He spurred on his soldiers to bravely kill the enemy
if they wanted to come out alive.
He secretly sent another 2,000 soldiers
to seize the Zhao army camps and put up Han flags
during the chaos.
When the Zhao army returned to camp to rest
they saw the Han flags flying over their camps
and believed the Han army had already captured
the Zhao emperor and military officials.
They believed the war was as good as lost.
Thus, the Zhao army was thrown into disorder and fled in the confusion.
Was that considered a gamble?
But, it was precisely because of that gamble
that Han Xin was written down in history.
Listen, many famous figures in history were able to accomplish great things
by risking it all.
You women have long hair but short wits.
Anyway, I warned you.
If you want that money, you'll have to go to your ex-wife.
You would be the one who would be a disgrace, not me.
Over 20 million yuan!
He's here. It would be inconvenient to let you in.
I understand.
Did you need to see me about something urgent?
There is something urgent.
I accidentally lost the card you gave me, but I really need money right now.
I understand.
Wait for me here. I'll go get my ID.
We can go to the bank and take care of this.
Thank you.
Ding Ren Jian, are you here to borrow money?
When Lin Yue and I married, she told me how much money was on the card.
This suitcase contains the same amount of cash as what was on the card.
If you want to take it, there is just one condition.
From today until the day you die
you are not to see Lin Yue again.
Tang Xiao Gang, is this how much Lin Yue is worth to you?
She's a priceless treasure.
As for you...
This is all you deserve to take away.
Tang, what are you doing?
This is between me and Ding.
That money is mine and his. What does it have to do with you?
Mrs. Tang.
You also need to remember one thing.
Starting today, there is no "you and him."
Only us.
Go back inside.
Ding Ren Jian.
Take it.
Don't play the hero.
First of all, Tang Xiao Gang, as Lin Yue said
this money belongs to me and her.
It has nothing to do with you.
Secondly, temperament is not what makes the hero.
Results are what make the hero.
Zhai Zhi Wei, this is my entire life savings.
I'm handing it over to you now.
It is also our future.
You won't lose, will you?
I'm definitely going to win.
I'm not lending you the money because I think of you as a friend.
I'm doing it because I also want to earn money.
- You better win. - I will.
[Job openings: Executive Assistant]
You're online?
While you're at it, why don't you help me check
how my insider information is faring?
Can't you check it yourself?
I'm getting old. My heart is weak. I'm afraid I'll go into shock.
The stocks aren't up by much
but it does seem to have gone up a bit since yesterday.
It's up? Where?
You look just like a gambler.
Can't you just be content with working a normal job?
If I were 18 years old, I would start all over again, one step at a time.
However, I'm short on time, and the mission is formidable.
Sometimes, you just have to risk it all.
It really has gone up!
Yes, yes, it has gone up, but just by a little bit.
What do you know? Zhai Zhi Wei already said it.
It will take three days to reach its peak value.
At the very least, it has gone up by a little.
The insider information from Zhai Zhi Wei's friend is on the mark!
I just have to wait, and then rake in the money!
When I have the money
my 2.6 million yuan will become 7.8 million yuan.
Then, I'll lend you 2.6 million
and help you become a cunning, online celebrity food critic.
