[Game of Hunting]
[Episode 42]
The marriage alliance made our family business even more powerful.
I had to tell Zhao Jian Ting.
My life without hope had already begun.
So, let our short separation turn into a permanent farewell.
You didn't think about going to America to find him?
I'm not that strong.
My father and brothers aren't bandits. They didn't tie me down with chains.
I was just too useless.
I knew it would be too hard for our relationship to continue on.
I could have walked away from everything.
But I have a family that loves me.
I couldn't bring myself to turn my back on them.
After all, they had taken care of me for over 20 years.
It was time for me to repay them.
Indeed.
Love shouldn't become a reason to trample on kinship.
That is exactly it.
My fiance at the time, now my husband, and I
knew each other well.
I can't say I liked him, but I didn't hate him either.
The day Zhao Jian Ting showed up...
I finally understood...
being loved is a wonderful feeling.
That was when I knew...
he was always in my heart.
He used to be a young scholar.
When he appeared before me that day...
I could see the changes in his face. He looked as if he had aged years.
I was standing dumbstruck at the door.
I just looked at him.
Words failed me.
I could only rush to him and hug him with all my might.
I cried at the top of my lungs
before I could tell him how much I loved him.
He had a smile on his face.
But his eyes were red-rimmed.
I didn't care about anybody around us.
I kissed him with everything in me.
I didn't dare let him look into my eyes.
I was afraid he would see I was ready to betray him.
He wasn't sad.
Nor did he weep a single tear.
I'm guessing he was confident he could take me back to America.
That night
my brother stepped in and invited him to dinner.
I knew what would be happening.
Our family has ties to the underworld.
I only told my brother
to politely ask him to return to the States.
If he dared touch a hair on his head
I would kill myself.
The next day, they sent me to my sister-in-law's house in Nantou.
They said it was so I could learn the ropes of business.
In reality, they were hiding me.
Zhao Jian Ting returned to the States.
He left so soon?
I was so naive.
I believed what my brother told me
and really did think he returned to the States.
All that time, he had never left Taipei.
Every day, he would go to my house on Ren'ai Road
and wait for me at the door.
I can imagine how much he wished to see me.
But he didn't know where I was.
One month later
he saw news of my engagement in Nantou in the newspaper.
He lost all hope.
I remember it was typhoon season.
I could imagine
the heavy rains outside
and how much pain and suffering he must have been in
as he walked along the streets alone.
He traveled hundreds of miles
but he couldn't see me.
I had dashed his hopes.
An idea came to me then.
A voice told me...
Cai Wan Yu, you are the devil incarnate.
You owe Zhao Jian Ting, a pure soul.
How did you find out about this?
It was Master Huai Yun who told me.
After Zhao Jian Ting reached Nantou
he was even more worse for wear, suffering even more hardship
with nobody he could rely on.
In the end, he went to Chung Tai Chan Monastery to make a wish.
He carried a large can of pesticides up the mountain with him
with the intention of ending it all.
That happened?
He was saved by Master Huai Yun and disciples.
He requested to be made a monk.
The master didn't accept him.
A bitter fate.
He was tired of living, but couldn't die.
How did he survive?
He didn't become a monk.
He joined a charity education corps and devoted himself to charitable work.
I suppose he was also recovering from the hurt I caused him.
In the next year, I became pregnant.
I went to Chung Tai Chan Monastery to pray.
I didn't expect to see him.
Such a coincidence?
It must have been arranged by fate.
We were so close.
I was in the car and watched him talk to Master Huai Yun.
He didn't see me.
How far were you?
Very close.
If I rolled down the car window, I could have touched his shoulder.
You didn't get out of the car?
I was rooted to the spot.
I didn't know what I should do.
I pressed my nose against the glass and watched him.
I didn't know what I could say.
I only knew I mustn't get out of the car.
If I appeared before him with a pregnant belly...
that would have been much too cruel to him.
I looked into his eyes.
He seemed at peace.
A forlorn voice suddenly spoke in my mind.
Bid farewell.
But fate won't allow it.
His face was clean and neat.
I desperately wanted to roll down the window
and reach out and touch him.
I wanted to wrap my arms around him and talk to him.
On pure lands enlightenment comes.
I finally realized...
what I felt before was passion, not love.
True love...
True love begins at farewell.
In Taiwan, it's said one goes to Tzu Chi to do charity
and to Chung Tai to comprehend life and death.
I believe it.
Perhaps in that moment, he had truly forgotten you.
You took all the pain that remained.
If that is truly what happened, I can accept that.
I later told Master Huai Yun about our story.
He also told me about Zhao Jian Ting.
That's how I found out.
That was the second time you saw him?
Yes.
I later asked Master Huai Yun
to use his prestige and wisdom to kindly urge Zhao Jian Ting to go home.
After all, he has an elderly mother.
I also asked my husband and sister-in-law to help me put on an act
at the entrance of Chung Tai Chan Monastery...
to tell him I had died
and ask Master Huai Yun to perform religious ceremonies for me.
That is a photo of his mother.
Mama Zhao.
I'm sorry.
Jian Ting and I are both filial children.
We often cannot find a way to satisfy everybody.
She has aged.
Her back is now stooped.
Why does time fly so fast?
The next photo is one his mother kept all this time.
Mama Zhao visited America once.
This photo of me was taken at the school campus.
She was very nice to me.
She kept it?
I might see them when I go back.
Do you need me to bring back any message?
Don't say anything.
The dead remain dead.
Zhao Jian Ting was true and loyal.
Yet, he met a profane woman like me.
Only my death will make things seem fairer.
That is what God planned.
And...
There is one thing about Zhao Jian Ting's life
that has been subjected to others' criticism.
To this day, he is still single.
[Every butterfly is a reincarnation of Romeo's infatuation. Love, Jian Ting.]
["Quantico Rules"]
I'm sorry, President Yan. There was traffic.
Sit.
I should be the one to say sorry.
I should have gone to your office instead.
You're being too polite.
I'm young. I should be the one to make the trip.
Don't hesitate to tell me what you need.
I'm a sentimental person.
The talents Te Hui recruited for me in the past
have been to my satisfaction.
I was very pleased.
I'm seeing you today to give you a new case.
Please do not say anything yet so as to avoid leaking any secrets.
It's like this.
I will be leaving Te Hui very soon
to partner up with a few friends to run our own headhunting firm.
If you would still like to go to Te Hui with your new case
then I will introduce you to a new agent.
If you have more faith in me
you can take your case to my new company.
You must consider this carefully.
Entrepreneurship?
I guess so.
I want to do something of my own with a few friends.
I don't want to work for someone else my whole life.
That was exactly what I thought when I first founded Sheng Huang.
Do you need funds?
- We're fine at the moment. - Speak up when you need it.
No need to hold back with someone like me who has nothing but money.
Thank you.
If I run into any obstacles and need help, you will be the first I go to.
I'll give my case to your new company.
What I want is you, Lin Bai.
Thank you so much.
You can tell me about it now.
When Sheng Huang made the transition in 1998
an intelligence agency was created.
It's called Information Unit.
In 2006
I invited Bohr, an intelligence expert from American company Avnet, to my office
to set up a business intelligence office.
Americans call it BIO.
Nowadays in China, it is becoming popular to create a BIO.
It's like following a school of fish.
However, in China, the first BIO
was established by me, Yan Bing He.
You have such great strategic vision.
Intelligence agency?
Please continue.
Sheng Huang's current CIO is named Chen Xiang.
He has been in this position since 2006, 10 years.
He was very competent in the beginning.
It can be said he made heroic contributions
to the company's overseas development and listing.
But slowly...
Perhaps he holds old-fashioned views
or maybe he lacks energy now.
In any case, he is no longer competent enough for this position.
So you need to find an appropriate new candidate
to replace him.
This must be confidential for now.
It will definitely be kept confidential.
But my future partners are excluded, yes?
Of course.
These are Sheng Huang's latest Aurora series products.
I hope your wife enjoys them.
You're too kind, President Yan.
Thank you on behalf of Juan Juan.
Can I help you?
No, nothing.
Do you work here?
Yes. We can talk inside.
No, I was just passing by.
Is this company in headhunting or investigation?
Human resources consulting.
We're primarily headhunting, but we also do some investigation work.
What is it you need?
Thank you. I won't keep you any longer. Goodbye.
You're back.
I just landed.
What's that?
Zhao Jian Ting left in a rush when he was fired.
These are personal items he left behind in his office in Beijing.
[In another 10 years, will I still be in your arms? Wan Yu.]
10 years.
For ten long years, the living of the dead knows naught.
Did you see who you were looking for in Hong Kong?
Yes.
How did it go?
It's a legendary love story.
How do I put this?
It would sound cliche if told.
Then don't tell it.
Do you know the woman who was at the door?
Who?
I don't know her.
She was looking in at the door.
I asked her if she wanted to come in to talk but she left.
She might be here to check out the area.
We received many applicants after posting our opening on Liepin.
She was probably here to check us out first.
He's back.
Scumbag. How does he have the nerve to come back?
Chairman Zheng, Zhao Jian Ting is back.
His mother has an exam this morning and physical therapy in the afternoon.
He might stay all day.
Do you want to see him?
Yes, I'm coming right away.
Is it necessary to see someone like him?
If I were a wolf, I would eat sheep too.
Chairman Zheng, he just helped his mother inside.
Physical therapy is usually 90 minutes long.
I don't know how long he'll stay.
He's come out.
Chairman Zheng.
Watch out for knives.
President Zhao.
Hello.
You...
How come you...
I'm sorry.
I came to apologize.
If I hadn't poached you
the ensuing events wouldn't have happened.
This was all an unexpected butterfly effect.
I should be the one to apologize.
I know the service agency in collaboration with Hewlett-Packard
failed to discover Leo Apotheker falsified academic credentials
which proved costly for all three parties.
Their value shrank by 40 percent.
I've sullied De Ren's good reputation.
To be honest...
my career has been smooth sailing.
I'd nearly forgotten I had falsified my academics.
De Ren's good reputation depends on both achievements and public opinion.
And our ability to correct our mistakes.
I've been to prison before.
I have a past that is even more painful to recollect than yours.
But that doesn't mean anything.
People with principles often are those who have suffered great losses.
Only by learning our lessons do we become aware there are lines we cannot cross.
That is why I have confidence in your future
and am willing to save your profile in our system.
Repay injury with kindness?
I feel ashamed.
I am a sinner to De Ren.
These are personal items you left behind in Beijing.
I was unworthy of your trust.
This has been with me for over 20 years.
Who is that girl?
Her name is Cai Wan Yu.
From Taiwan.
My girlfriend back in America.
Is she doing well?
She... passed away 10 years ago.
Have you been single all this time because of her?
I guess so.
Why don't you sound sure?
Because...
I dated twice after her.
It's so strange.
Whenever I had a new girlfriend
I would dream of a long-tailed mountain nymph.
It would tell me...
Cai Wan Yu isn't dead yet.
What is a long-tailed mountain nymph?
It's a type of bird found in Taiwan, also called a blue magpie.
Maybe she was sending me messages in my dreams.
When I think that she might still be alive
I can't seem to continue being with other women.
I know...
It is all in my imagination
but it has become a mental obstacle for me.
Dead means she is gone.
In another world, she must also be able to receive dreams from you.
If you can begin a new life
pull yourself together, and find success again...
The long-tailed mountain nymph will tell her you are doing well in life.
She will be happy.
I don't know how to start over again.
What I built over 10 years...
has been...
has been completely destroyed by a single anonymous phone call.
You only falsified your education and publications.
What does it matter?
When I came out of prison
I even fabricated an identity.
I was compensation director at the amazing Valley Group.
Ultimately, I was discovered.
I was thoroughly exposed in front of everybody.
I was so desperate to have a career.
To me, all positive values dwindled to zero overnight.
Even turning negative.
What was I to do?
I was faced with two paths.
One was simple.
The other was complex.
The simple was jumping off a building.
But I felt killing myself
would be an extremely ridiculous thing to do.
Forget that. I gave up on it.
The complex path was left.
That would be to live on.
Living actually isn't hard.
What's hard is to live with dignity.
Being exposed as a fraud in the workplace...
I'm familiar with that feeling of despair.
When I decided to start from zero, I had very simple demands of myself.
I swore to never do anything unconscionable.
Not even once.
This is the bottom line I must hold fast to.
To this day, I have held true.
That is redemption?
Yes.
A mindset for redemption
will subconsciously drive you to be proactive.
Thank you. I will pull myself together.
I have an important announcement today.
Our new partner
also a distinguished representative in this industry
the one who guided me into this profession, Mr. Lin Bai
will be joining our team.
Mr. Lin will be our company's CEO.
Very soon, we will be bringing in new members.
Especially our...
financial director.
Okay.
Next, Mr. Lin will say a few words.
I have met everybody before.
Today is just the beginning of our collaboration.
I will be helping Chairman Zheng with a reform proposal very soon.
In the near future, Deju Renhe will be facing tremendous change and growth.
I have confidence in Zhao Jian Ting.
So what if he falsified his academic background?
His past 10 years of experience tell me
he is qualified to be a subbranch bank president.
He is certainly qualified to be our financial director.
I have no objections.
We can start our hiring procedures.
He can be a subbranch bank president
but there are still prerequisites to be financial director.
We've headhunted him before and know him thoroughly.
Look. He has everything.
It's what you can expect from the child of a tiger mother.
Can ace exams, be rated well, and earn certifications.
All right, I'll speak with him.
Best to make it quick.
After handover work is done, Yi Mei should leave.
I can't see any signs now that you two are still a couple.
Really?
That's true.
It's turning milder and cooling off.
It's as if nothing ever happened.
Have a good talk with her.
I don't approve of the so-called law of the jungle.
She's a girl who came from afar, with no power or influence
who wants to survive in this big city.
Using affections to tip the scales once to rise up a level is understandable.
I don't even remember how we began.
I think there was also a flute song.
Stop reminiscing.
You have no talent whatsoever when it comes to expressing love.
What does it take to be considered talented in dating.
Same as all other talents.
It requires creativeness and a spirit for creativity.
The most basic standard
is to possess the initiative to move forward.
Look at you.
You're always sitting at home, waiting for them to come to your door.
You welcome in whoever knocks on your door.
What's that called?
It's called the emotionally immature disease.
It's a sickness.
That's damn nonsense!
But it makes so much sense.
This is De Ren's CEO Lin.
Hello, CEO Lin. My name is Zhao Jian Ting.
Hello, Mr. Zhao.
I was asked by Mr. Zheng to meet with you.
Chairman Zheng has called and informed me.
According to what I know, in the past decade
there have been two low points in your life
both bringing you below your starting point.
That's correct.
However, I also saw my life's crest during the same time period.
Maybe subbranch bank president isn't the peak of your life.
Why do you say that, Mr. Lin?
We've put ourselves in your shoes and created a plan for you.
With your qualifications and the current economic situation
the peak of your career should be happening in the coming few years.
I'm willing to listen.
We'll start with how you'll steadily climb out of your current low point.
Guang Xian Company belongs in the human resources service industry.
It's the category of business encouraged in 2013 by
the National Development and Reform Commission
for industrial restructuring.
[Lin Bai: I've resigned.] [Have officially joined De Ren.]
Human resources service industry...
[Awesome! Strong execution!]
After close observation over a long period of time
this is the investment direction we chose.
Manager Luo.
Please take a look at the screen.
Combining Guang Xian Company's operations and financial figures
in 2015, their annual revenue is estimated to reach 560 million yuan
and operating profits to reach eight million yuan.
From 2015 to 2016
revenue will maintain over 15 percent growth every year.
In 2016...
[Kui Huang]
The sponsorship broker believes the company is doing well
and sees continued viability.
I'm sorry.
It's my fault for not reining in my ambitions.
It's time for me to say goodbye to you all.
I'm thankful for all of you.
The help you've given me will benefit me for life.
I love you all.
I regret losing my temper at you over one invoice, Pu Jian.
Don't take it to heart.
Thank you.
You helped me keep a bunch of secrets that no longer hold any significance.
You're my sister.
Manager Tian, thank you for tolerating me
someone who's not the boss lady, but always throws a temper like one.
Lin Bai.
One joke from you
made our underground relationship known to everyone.
From then on...
I truly loved equality.
Director Zhao, I committed a mistake in your background investigation.
I have blamed myself.
This was a big professional lesson for me.
I hated you.
I was wrong to.
It was because I was afraid to hate myself.
With so much to say...
I don't know how to begin.
Without you...
I wouldn't be who I am today.
