The First Half of My Life
- Episode 33 -
I don't know what else will happen in the future.
Changes usually come faster than we expect.
Anyway, starting now,
any matter related to the two of us is just the responsibility of one party.
Which means, they are all my fault. Understand?
If you have hesitations, I can go now
and confess to Tang Jing everything that happened before.
And also tell her that I willingly did them all.
I don't want to. I understand what you're saying already. I know what to do.
Okay.
Go back home then. I also need to leave already.
He Han...
Thank you for everything that you did for me.
I told you before that it's as if you changed my whole life.
That's why no matter what I say or do,
I have now way to repay everything that you did for me.
But starting today, every minute and every second,
I will pray for your happiness.
Pray for the happiness of you and Tang Jing.
That's why, don't interfere with my matters from now on.
Let us also not meet privately from now on. Let's agree on that.
I understand your difficulties.
And understand your worries.
I can agree with it but
as long as I see or hear that you are having difficulty
in doing things that you want to do in the future, I still will help you.
I don't care how other people will see or criticize it,
including Tang Jing or you.
Okay. Goodbye.
Making such a huge mistake.
There are two me that is currently on a tug-of-war due to this problem.
One who is trying everything to recover things, trying to stop it, trying to distance from it.
But the other me
instead kept being deeply moved by He Han.
So want to just close one's eyes and jump into this deep abyss.
Even if my body gets smashed into pieces, just let it be.
Come, wake up!
Baojian...
Why are you here? Who told you to come in?
Your father let me in.
- Fine. Get out...- Can you lower down your voice?
Your father is lying here.
- You speaking so loudly, are you even his son?!- Get out!
You go out. If there's anything, let's talk outside. Go out.
What is it?
It's good that you're here too. You saw it already. I didn't lie to you.
My father is currently lying inside, can't talk nor move.
He can't give you money or buy things for you
Especially, he can't marry you
And then give you money and property
What kind of person do you think I am?
You think I'm someone who would do anything for money?
If that's how really think about others, that proves you're that kind of person
This isn't idle talk
I went to where you used to live and talked with your old friends
You've talked with them? Well, what did you get out from them?
Have I been a prostitute, a concubine, swindled, or robbed?
Is there anything wrong about me?
I'm telling you, I'm a person.
I brought up two beautiful girls
I did this all by using the money I made from my job.Understood?
My husband has left me for 20 years
I've been on my own for twenty years
Now I want to find someone nice, get married and have a family
Have I broken the law?
Do you realize that you're the one breaking the law?
You've been out of the country for so many years
Only coming back on holidays to visit your father
You don't call this breaking the law?
Don't think that just because you've come back from abroad you can arbitrarily criticize other people
That's why I want to show
you materialistic youngsters who come back from abroad
the meaning of, "Affection has no price." Do you get it?
All right, let's put that aside for now. I want to ask you this question.
Your father is lying here now.
In one week
how many days can you spend with him? Tell me.
I returned with work arrangements lined up.
I know, I know you're very busy.
Yes? What about Saturday and Sunday then?
I have to work overtime and attend to clients even on weekends.
One day? What about spending one day with him?
Or half a day?
Let me tell you! I, Xue Zheng Zhu
can be with your father and not leave his side
24 hours a day, 7 days a week! What do you have to say?
All right, be with him then.
I can pay you the amount a caretaker is paid.
What are you saying?
- What are you doing?- What do you mean by that?
Am I a money-grubber?
I'm doing all this because your father has been much too good to me.
It doesn't have to do with even a cent in your pocket! Can't you see?
But do you have a steady income? I don't think you do!
I am her source of income.
- Mom.- Zijun.
Look. This is my daughter.
I raised her on my own. Take a good look at what kinship is!
My daughter works at a large company.
She earns a lot of money!
She also has a friend named He Han.
- His net worth, his capabilities--- Zhen Zhu!
- Uncle Cui is calling for you.- Zhen Zhu!
- Is he?- Zhen Zhu!- Dad!
- Dad!- You're awake?
You're calling for me?
This is great! I'm sorry.
We were talking a bit loudly outside and disturbed you.
Don't hold on to me so tightly. I know, I won't leave.
It's wonderful that you can speak. This is great.
Take your time. There's no rush.
Take your time. You can speak today.
In a few days, you'll be able to sit up.
Then, you'll be able to stand up.
After some time, you'll be able to walk and run!
Don't keep holding on to me so tightly.
I'm not leaving. I already told your son.
I'll stay here with you. He'll go about his business. I'll be staying right here with you.
I'm staying with you. I won't be leaving.
Are you alright?
I'm fine. Just sprained my wrist.
Didn't I already tell you in the phone that I'm fine?
You even haven't fully recovered yet and you have to insist in coming to my place.
Hitting the sidewalk while driving in the city,
I never noticed you have such a potential before.
If I remember it right, you never even scratched your car before.
It was raining so the road was slippery.
Where is the car?
Chen Junsheng took it to the repair shop for me.
When I called you last night, weren't you already near your house?
How come you ended up in Wusong Road?
I took the wrong turn.
It's from my house to your house. You can even take the wrong road?
That's right. I actually was trying out a new route.
Yet I didn't expect that I will make such messed up mistake.
I am going to the company fo a meeting. How about you?
Especially driving you there.
Have you really turned into a five-star girlfriend now?
Let's go now.
Shanghai BMW Service Center
How was it?
Mr. Chen, the insurance company already determined the damages. We will immediately do the repairs.
Here, may I ask you to sign here please.
Okay.
Mr. Chen, Wusong Road is a very flat road.
How was the car driven that the chassis was damaged?
I also don't know. It wasn't me who was driving.
- Wusong Road?- That's right.
The car was towed near the Gong-an Building at Wusong Road.
This is the vehicle log and some miscellaneous items.
Please check if there are still important stuff that were left out.
- Okay then, thank you.- I'll go make the order now.
Okay.
What are you thinking?
Nothing.
These are my car stuff?
They said that it will be fixed after a week.
Thanks. Letting you go to the car repair shop this early in the morning.
That...is Tang Jing doing well?
She's quite well. She just drove me here earlier.
Why did you suddenly ask about her? What's going on?
Nothing. I just heard that she's back and haven't asked about her.
I heard that you and Tang Jing are getting married already. What day have you set it?
Probably end of the year.
Your relationship is really going great right now then.
We're about to get married already, can it not be doing great?
Why are you being weird today? You had a fight with Ling Ling?
No such thing.
I also placed the vehicle log in there.
Oh. Thank you.

- No need to walk me out anymore.- Okay, won't walk you out then.
- We can discuss this matter again.- Okay.
- Hope we can work well together.- Goodbye.
Miss Wu.
Was the person who just left your office that guy who just resigned from Chen Xing
and brought devastating trouble to He Han, that Phil?
That's right. He has now went to B&T.
He brought some documents to talk about a collaboration with me.
You're going to work with him, a person like that?
I haven't decided yet.
Can I look at the project he brought?
What are you trying to do?
I am guessing that this is his first case after going to B&T.
It must be the resources he forcibly took from Chen Xing.
He took those data and made an exchange with B&T.
Sit.
- Are you eating?- No more.
The act of chewing can help lessen one's anxiety.
I am not anxious.
You are currently being anxious about He Han's matter.
It's not like that. It was because He Han has helped me so many times.
In this field,
other than you, he can be counted as my teacher.
If you really also treat me as your teacher,
honestly tell me, do you like He Han?
No. No such thing.
He Han will be getting married soon.
His fiancée is my best girlfriend,
Tang Jing. You should know it.
You indeed like him.
It's because of this and that reasons that you can't dare to say or do it.
Really none.
If you admit to me that you indeed like He Han,
worried that he is getting pushed aside because of the mistake he committed at work,
I can then consider letting you see the documents
that Phil gave me today. You surely will find something from here.
Fine. I admit.
And that day, it was because He Han helped me with something that's why he was late for his negotiations with Phil.
That's why, I keep thinking of things that I can do to help him recover some losses.
I am a rookie in this industry. I am insignificant. I am fine with any job.
But if He Han's career is affected because of me
then I'll regret it terribly.
However, this has nothing to do with whether I like him.
I just think these are the basic morals a person should have.
Take it and have a look.
I can give you a warning in advance. There is sure to be a problem in that.
There is definitely something fishy going on between Phil and his client.
So, if I am to take on this case, I'll have to put on an act with him.
Start investigating along that route. You'll definitely be able to dig out
the past personal deals between him and Phil.
So you mean if I can find
all the archived data of all his past projects with the client back when he was in Chen Xing
as well as the issues pertaining to them, then Phil will be in hot water?
You could say he would lose his standing and reputation in this industry.
But how will you get your hands on Chen Xing's archived data?
More importantly
Su Manshu really values Phil
or, in another words, she really values our cooperation with Phil's new company, B&T.
If you go to war against them, Su Manshu will definitely have you fired.
She's already predicted that He Han's past his peak in his career
and no longer values you as much.
So, if you're afraid of losing this job
you'll have to consider carefully.
I've already put thought into it. I'm not afraid of losing this job.
If there's anything I'll miss, it'll be working under you.
Ms. Wu, if it were you, what would you do?
If I like someone, there's nothing I wouldn't say or do.
Thank you.
Eat more vegetables.
Eat vegetables.
Ping'er, I initially planned to enroll you and Jiaqing to the same winter camp.
But thinking about it, if you leave for a long time, your grandparents will miss you.
This winter camp in Shanghai,
you just need to attend four days of classes a week and the teacher is also from the States.
It is actually not very different with going to the US.
This way, you can learn your English
and your grandparents can still see you everyday.
Mommy, how about me?
You'll leave on December 20.
I'll be able to go to America already!
Jiaqing is going to the States?
Ping'er, do you want to go to the States with Jiaqing and attend winter camp there?
Then go together. Father, mother, what do you think?
We'll listen to Ping'er.
If Ping'er is willing to go. Of course, we agree.
How much money will be spent per child to attend the US winter camp?
¥40,500.
Wow!
Will that be good?
¥40,500 then.
How about this? Just withdraw from that Shanghai winter camp tomorrow.
Ping'er and Jiaqing will go to the US together.
I finally can go to the States!
It might not be possible.
Because visa processing needs time.
And also, the deadline for the sign up period seems to have passed already.
Give me the phone. I'll call to ask.
People would have already gotten off work for today. Where will you call?
Ping'er, how about this?
Tomorrow, I'll go ask them in your behalf.
If we are able to sign up, we'll go.
If not, let's just go next time. Okay?
Ping'er, what's wrong?
- He's crying already. It's fine, son. Come. Come.
It's fine...
We can go. Don't cry.
Let us just go next time.
Let's go next time...
It's the same anywhere, right? It's just the same. It's fine.
Don't cry anymore. Hurry and eat.
Eat. Eat. Come, eat.
Come, eat. Eat.
Jiaqing going to this winter camp...¥50,000.
How about Ping'er's?
¥8,000 plus.
You think our family really lack this ¥40,000?
Of course not.
But it's also not that easy to have like you think.
Luo Zijun will be buying a house. We must settle your parents well.
All these things that you can see and can't see will require money.
Ling Ling,
do you understand what it means that I give you all the money I earn?
It's me giving you my life and the life of my family.
That of my parents and of my child.
You have already plotted last time
to send my parents and Ping'er to the house next door to live on their own.
Right now, you want to...to put it in a nicer, treat both child differently.
My parents not talking doesn't mean that they don't understand.
The children not talking doesn't mean that they can see that you rare being unfair.
I actually also don't want to say it.
But I can't endure it anymore.
Can you let me finish first?
I already told you that this isn't a problem about money.
If giving money can let Ping'er go to the States, I surely will pay it.
I won't destroy myself just for a small thing like that.
Going to the States required a visa, an interview,
and you have to communicate with their foster family.
These many things can't be settled within one or two days.
As for Jiaqing's mental preparation, I already did it with him long ago.
I've coordinated all his other preparations since the start of the year.
But the children won't understand that much.
Those words that you said when we were eating earlier will just make them feel
that we treat them differently.
Then you tell me what to do.
Did you already pay for Jiaqing's camp?
When is the next season?
What do you mean?
You are saying not to let Jiaqing go this time
and just go together with Ping'er next time. Is that it?
We should treat our children equally.
Think about it. These two children traveling together, learning together,
is also a chance for their relationship to improve.
Chen Junsheng,
I a second wife that you found and not an angel.
I think that if you want to find an angel who will
devote herself to you whole-heartedly without any tinge of selfishness, no such thing exist in this world.
Think about it.
You and Luo Zijun got married and then you got fed up with it and then divorced.
And now, you found me.
From the looks of it, it seems you are also fed up with me.
If that's really the case, could it be you yourself who has a problem?
I agree to let Jiaqing go this time and then just let Ping'er go next time.
For me, that's treating them equally.
It's good for couples to treat each other with love and respect.
If both will rip off each other's face (that mutual respect is torn off),
it would then be unsightly.
Why did you come? I can just bring the kid home after I fetch him.
I need to talk to you about something. Are you available for dinner later?
I can't tonight. My father and mother--
It's fine. I'll then just go direct to the point.
Can you give me a copy of all the past files related to the collaboration of Phil with Zhiwei Company
when he was still working at your Chen Xing?
Why are you asking for these files?
Didn't he go to B&T already?
He took with him his partnership projects with Zhiwei Company.
Right now, he came to our company for market research help.
I feel that there is a problem with it so I suspect that his past works might also be questionable.
This has nothing to do with you, right?
When people go to your company to let you do something, you just need to do it well and earn the money.
I just don't want that if something bad happens in the future,
our company will get dragged with it.
Does Su Manshu know about this?
No.
This matter will also benefit your company.
Think about. When he left, how much losses did he bring Chen Xing?
You all can use this chance to give him a counter punch.
It's easy for me to get you the files but the process of verifying them will be very tedious.
I know.
If Su Manshu knows about this, she will not hesitate to fire you.
- I know.- And you still will investigate?
- Will still investigate.- For He Han?
He went to your place a night ago?
He chatted with me downstairs.
But on his way home, he got into an accident.
What? He got into an accident?
- How is he?- He's fine.
But I don't know what you two talked about
that he was so out of focus while driving back to his house.
I feel that you've misunderstood things.
All my interactions with He Han are within limits.
Tang Jing is my best friend.
I can never do anything that will wrong her.
It has nothing to do with me anymore.
Daddy!
Mommy, you're here too.
Daddy, has something to do today. I'll take you home.
Daddy, we will later go
to choose a wedding dress. You're not coming?
What wedding dress?
Isn't Tang Jing already getting married? She wants me to be her maid of honor.
I think I look more like being the aunt.
She insist that I choose her wedding gown with her.
That is because she treats you as her best friend. You should put that to heart.
Of course, I know. It isn't easy for Tang Jing to finally getting married.
I give this matter importance more than anyone else.
Bai Guang, how come you are here?
It was me who allowed him to live here.
It just so happen that the house he is renting is gone.
In here, he can live and be my worker.
Where is Ziqun? How did you two think of coming to Old Zhuo to look for lodging?
It's that...Chen Junsheng.
He begged me so I just did him a favor without an extra cost for me. Where is He Han?
I'll just take out some food and then go find him.
How come you look like a rich housewife today?
It's my last day as a rich housewife.
I'll be going to work again tomorrow.
It was Ms. Tang who asked us to come.
Ms. Tang isn't here yet. She did tell us
that if you arrive first, you can casually look at the dresses already.
- The formal dresses are in the most inner part.- Oh, thank you.
You girls are so troublesome.
So many dresses, you won't really be able to finish picking.
Who taught you that? Did you learn that in school
or at your father's house? Knowing so much.
Ms. Tang is here.
Auntie Tang Jing is here.
I thought that you will come alone.
They really are quite complete here. I called He Han over so we can all pick our clothes together.
Then go in and pick your dress. I'm already done with mine.
You're finished picking already?!
Which one did she choose?
Don't know. She seems to have not yet chosen anything.
I'll just casually pick something. You are the bride.
We all are just supporting casts.
Moreover, I'm already at this age. What's the point of dressing up so gorgeously?
Are you afraid that since He Han came, he might wait impatiently?
You two just pick as long as you want. Take your time. I am not in a rush.
Uncle He Han...let's leave the ladies to busy themselves
That's right...well said!
You little thing...how are you so close to Uncle He Han now?
Come on...let's see your wedding dress.
Uncle He Han
You are the groom. What will you be wearing to the wedding?
Aren't you the groom?
You are lying...you are really the groom!
What clothes will you really be wearing?
Those..
Which of those inside will you be wearing?
How about this...why don't you help me choose?
Really...you will wear whatever I choose?
I trust your judgement.
Okay!
Is this suit okay?
No problem.
You can go and ask the retail lady to get my measurements and pack it up.
Me?
You will be in grade 2 soon and getting bigger.
This little matter can be done by anyone. Go quickly..
Okay!
He Han..Ping'er...Come over and have a look!
How is this?
Lovely..
Mummy. Why is it that you don't have flowers on you?
Mummy is the bridesmaid. Aunty Tang Jing is the bride so she will have the flowers.
You see, even Ping'er feels your dress is too plain.
He Han. Do you think her dress is too plain?
I wanted her to choose one with more flowers.
I feel this is okay. I like this.
That's right as long as you like it. It's fine.
Wait a minute. I'll give you a lift.
No need. It's out of your way. We can make our own way.
Come with us. When did you get so formal with us?
- Really there's no need. Say your goodbye to Uncle and Aunty. - Goodbye
Let's go.
Do you sense that ever since I returned
Zijun is not as close with me as before?
Really? Shouldn't be the case.
Now that her work and lifestyle has settled down,
shall we find her a boyfriend?
Don't you always assert to settle down when fate brings you there, not getting married just for the sake of getting married?
As to getting married or not, is another matter
Being single doesn't mean that you have to be alone and lonely.
It should indicate that you have more chance to socialize.
Everyone has their own opinion. You should know about this.
When I went over to Old Zhuo, I saw Bai Guang working there.
Did you help Chen Junsheng by getting Bai Guang to work there?
Old Zhuo is short of helpers. With Bai Guang being there, it's of help to him.
It's really great. I think Bai Guang's present status has changed.
- Little Luo - Hello
There was a Mr Chen who delivered something just now. But you were not home
so he passed it to me instead.
- Thank you- You're welcome
- Say goodbye to Aunty. - Goodbye
Goodbye
Returning so late after a delivery?
Just had a chat too.
I'll heat up some food and drink.
Do you know that the company intends to send He Han to Beijing?
So you should do some planning
Will you be going to Beijing with him or stay in Shanghai?
If Beijing is a consideration, then we will not be familiar with the place.
What would happen to the whole family?
If staying on in Shanghai, no matter who the new person is
he surely will not use the past superior's partner.
We don't even know who the company is sending
I suspect it may take two or three months before we know
So in these two to three months, where we stand is very important
I already chose my team.
Without He Han, I wouldn't be in such a good position in Chen Xing.
But you treat him well too
Furthermore, it's not as if you are seen as the bad person
We have the young and the old
Only if you are okay
then can we help others. There's nothing wrong with this.
It's not about severing off ties with him
You can be warmer in how you treat others
This sort of thing everyone knows how to do.
I'm going off to sleep.
Overall Project Analysis
Can you tell me honestly if you like He Han?
You do right?
It's because of this, that is holding you back.
- If Su Mansu knows about this, she will probably dismiss you!
- I know - Do you still want to investigate?
- I want to - Because of He Han..
Hello. Would you like any help?
I would like to meet with Mr Dan Liu from your company.
Could I ask if you have made an appointment?
No but I have something very important and need to discuss his involvement with Phil.
I'm so sorry. I'm not involved with company matters.
Do you have his phone number? Why don't you call him instead?
I don't know him and haven't met him in person yet.
But this is a very important matter..
I must see him urgently.
So far, all consultation projects for the four products
that Phil did for him are all questionable and tampered with.
I'm so sorry Miss but our company has rules.
How about this? Why don't you give me your name card and I can send this to him
Namecard? Please give me a minute..
Tang Jing
- Miss Tang - Right
Please give me a minute. I will make a call now
Please have a seat and wait. Can I get you a drink first?
- No thanks. I just need to see him quickly.- Sure..sure
Thank you
- Hi. I have Miss Tang from B&T to see Mr Dan
- Okay. Bye
- Miss Tang - Thanks
- Hello Miss Tang. - Hello
I am Mr Dan's secretary.
Mr Dan is in a meeting upstairs but he will be out very shortly to meet you.
Miss Tang is very well-known and only today do we see you in person
Please come inside
What the...
What happened?
What's up with Tang Jing? How important is she?
Went to my client and made a complaint?
making this public? Taking revenge for He Han?
What does she mean?
Aren't I working with her in B&T? My clients are considered B&T's too.
Just for a man, she don't care about proper professional conduct anymore?
I am now going to the board of directors to tell on her.
Once she returns, tell her to directly report to the board of directors!
I'm here.
If there is an issue, please explain.
Tang Jing, why are you here?
I have always been here.
Today is my first day back at work after being on leave. Since 9am this morning,
I haven't left my office.
So I'm not sure why you were shouting and ranting just now,
You can explain this to me.
Just you broke our things, you can make amends and repay the cost
No..no..
I just received a phonecall from Mr Dan
He said you were in his office.
But if you are here, who is there with him?
Who would pose as you to file a complaint about me?
Pose as me?
Tang Jing, let's look at it this way. Since it wasn't you, please help me.
I've come to B&T and to the company...
First, you have offended He Han
and I am his fiancee. This is the first reason why I won't help you.
More importantly, the second reason,
a person who relied on betraying his previous company to get into a new one
should be spurned.
I not adding hail onto snow (adding more misfortunes) is already being good to you.
Who would pose as me?
Who among you knows Mr Dan? Help me ask around.
Okay
"In The Pouring Rain" by Ye Linsheng
♫ In the torrential rain, among the busy cars ♫
♫ Why is the image of your face still so clear? ♫
♫ I hold my breath, watching you as you leave ♫
♫ Why do I feel my heart slightly wavering? ♫
♫ When did I start becoming used to your presence? ♫
♫ Your calls always appear at the perfect time ♫
♫ My heart has sold me out ♫
♫ I still have a little hope that you will come back, searching for me ♫
♫ In the torrential rain, among the busy cars ♫
♫ Why is the image of your face still so clear? ♫
♫ I hold my breath, watching you as you run towards me ♫
