The First Half of My Life
Episode 40
- Hi!- Hi.
Here.
I already took everything that I am able to searched.
This much?
Did anyone notice you photocopying them?
I let the intern Caicai photocopy them.
If the company learns about this, you not only will lose your job.
How can it be that serious?
If you put it that way, then isn't everything are classified? How can there be so many secrets?
Moreover, it's already the internet era. You think you won't be able to find what you are looking for?
Let me tell you. Tang Jing this time is really making huge movements.
What do you mean?
She forcefully took the Angel project from He Han.
Angel isn't easy to do.
Even if He Han is the one to handle it, he might not be able to get it done.
That's why, she really is targeting He Han.
She wanted to do it more beautifully than He Han.
I really don't understand anymore. Say, this woman is quite smart.
Can't she understand that so what if she defeats He Han at work?
Will she be able to avenge already the grudge of being not married by him in the past ten years?
They are totally two different things, okay?
Who did all these?
Tang Jing did it herself.
She did it herself?
Maybe because she doesn't trust any of us after you left.
She was afraid that we will put starch in it (mess things up).
This woman is really a very distrusting work maniac.
With these much, you indeed can do it overnight.
Does she plan to always do it by herself from now on?
Isn't she afraid to make mistakes from being too busy?
I do hope that she'll make some mistakes.
If she makes so many mistakes, we can then ask you to come back.
That's right too.
- Thank you.- You're welcome.
If you need anything in the future, just look for me.
You know that I want to make Tang Jing leave and get you to come back.
Xiao Dong, people say that when a person leaves, the tea grows cold. (relationship grows cold)
Thank you.
Are you crazy? What are you saying? I've been with you for so many years already.
This is something that I should do.
Thank you.
No need for thanks.
With so many things happening in your family,
I actually plan to look for you a few more days after. Never thought that you are more in a hurry than me.
Better to get it done with a vigorous effort.
Look. I asked someone to film the site for you.
They didn't do anything to it yet.
What you see is what you get. Don't say later that I lied to you
after we've already talked about it. The track and field.
Do you still have any questions?
At least the school looks not bad.
Do you still have anything that you are worried about? Just ask.
What else can I still be worried about?
You don't really have to let me see the pictures. Your words is already a guarantee for me.
Then I'll leave with you next Monday.
Next Monday?
Aren't that too rushing it?
This is my first time asking someone to delay it a little bit.
This is a very huge thing, Zijun.
I thought that you will at least ask for 10 days to half a month to take care of things here.
Let's just move over there first and see.
Okay.
Actually, the more you delay it, the more you'll hesitate.
People who eventually don't proceed after thinkiing about it, I've seen a lot of them.
What you're doing is good.
Not giving yourself any delay or a chance to choose again.
I'll book your flight then.
Thank you for your trust.
Thank you, Ms. Wu, for giving me another chance to work for you.
I thought the doors were closed.
When mom was in the hospital,
thank you for visiting her.
I never thought that you'll come visit her.
When we were in college, we would eat in your house every weekend.
Auntie Xue can be considered to be my family too. I should go.
I...
I am going to Guangdong with Ms. Wu to do a project. I'll be leaving next Monday.
In terms of work, it is indeed good that you follow Ms. Wu.
As for the considerations for other aspects, that's your own business.
That's why, I was thinking that since I'm leaving already,
I should come over to bid you farewell.
Goodbye then. Wishing you success.
- Tang Jing--- I hope that you are going to Guangdong
just for yourself, because you think it's worth it.
Don't do it because of other people, at least, not for me.
You don't owe me anything.
I helped you a lot and you also helped me a lot when we were still in school.
If you are putting yourself to such a far place just because you feel guilt towards me,
there really is no need for it. Because this has nothing to do with me.
I will not hate you more or forgive you more for it.
Every person has something that they think is worth vigorously safeguarding.
It can be one matter,
it can be a person. I am leaving for myself.
Because I feel that it's worth it to go that far.
Tang Jing, thank you.
I'm going now. Goodbye.
I don't want you to go.
I really hope you can stay.
You know it's impossible.
Right..I know that you will never respond but I do need to let you know this from my innermost heart.
Ever since we were young, we were taught to restraint ourselves and become like others,
to say things that please others, not to inconvenience others and not to be honest with our own self.
But the truth is..
we must tell the other, the ones we care about most
what we are really thinking and what's on our mind and desires.
This should be how we do things.
Saying this is easy. Doing it is very difficult.
That's why we have to start with ourselves first.
I wouldn't wish today that because of my so called restraint
there isn't a good enough reason for you to decide to return one day.
So Zijun please listen...
I love you.
Except you, I won't marry any other woman..
You can leave and go anywhere else
but if you want to come back at any time, I will be here waiting.
As long as I am lucid and aware
I will give everything I have to marry you
and spend the other half of my life with you.
Thank you He Han.
Thank you for saying all these to me.
Thank you for everything you have done for me.
You have said we need to be honest with each other,
to tell you what I really think.
It's been a long time but I have never ever changed my mind...
I love you.
You are so good that
I may never fall in love with another man.
But we cannot be together
Good bye...He Han
Good bye
At that time, I thought it was the closure of the first half of my life.
And it wasn't too bad an ending too.
At least I've let go of my inferiority, blame, guilt and fear
I was honest with He Han and myself.
But when you know the person you love, also loves you..
makes it truly satisfying for the relationship.
What's the matter?
I know your work performance surpasses mine.
But what you are doing is too risky. What if problems occur?
On one hand, you can't handle An Qier's case
while on the other, compete for business with his brand.
But that is my friend
It doesn't matter whether An Qier is your friend or not,
once word gets out, it will increase their mistrust of you and Chen Jing.
I do know about professional ethics.
If they don't trust me,
they can change company in half a year.
We don't necessarily have to cooperate with them.
Domestic products dropped across two to three thousand cities
Even if I put in all my energies, I would only be able to hold them for another two to three years.
But we can't throw integrity out.
Tang Jing, whatever the company, the brand is still Chen Xing.
It doesn't matter how much money a client gives us.
You know how hard I worked all these years
to ensure every client's loyalty to us.
What you are doing is literally killing the chicken to take the eggs.
Loyalty, integrity, your hard work..
After all these years, are you not known for your ruthlessness in this field?
That's right!
Towards my competitor, I'm ruthless. However with my clients, I give my loyalty and integrity.
My ex-clients are my friends now
- So I can always meet up with them right? - No you can't.
At least not at this stage.
Work is work. Personal matters are personal. You can't mix the two up.
You mean you've never mixed up work and personal matters before?
Tang Jing..
I only want what's good for you.
But I want to be better than you.
I want to go further, stand taller and perhaps one day, I can clearly see..
who stood to gain from everything you've done.
Here it is.
Thanks
Ever since He Han started to take responsibility for An Qier
I was the one who did the handover as I understood An Qier.
They are very cautious even with a few suspicious team members.
I feel that you should heed what He Han is saying.
I have my own way of doing things unless you want to change to another department.
I'm going
Just because He Han is leaving,
doesn't mean we can' t do it better
There isn't just a single best way under heaven and earth.
You are not just rivals with He Han..it is with yourself.
Mummy, does that place have summer all year long?
You could say it is so you can eat ice cream and go swimming everyday
But what happens if I don't understand what other people are saying there?
With children your age, all you need is three months and you'll be able to listen and understand.
If we stayed there longer, you might be speaking Cantonese.
Do we really have to go?
Mummy really hopes you will come with me.
Otherwise, you have to live with daddy.
Of course, I want to be with mummy.
Sorry..son.
You have to leave a familiar place and follow mummy
to go to a strange place, learn everything again while living there.
But... there is always good in every situation as well as the bad in a situation.
Now you will be going to some places,
so when you grow up, you will be more knowledgeable compared to other children.
New school? What happens if I don't know other people there?
With every friend, we go from strangers to friends.
You and Aunty Tang Jing and Uncle He Han, didn't know each other before?
Of course
Quickly eat..
Daddy
Just had a meeting.
Have you spoken to the school yet?
I didn't manage to complete the formalities. When I'm more settled there, I can then return to finish it.
Are you ready yet?
Will you be visiting us in Shenzhen?
Of course I will.
- Mister, here is your water. - Thanks
- Be careful it's hot. Call me if you need anything
I feel you are still thinking it over.
Is it because mum left so suddenly?
This is a reason. If mum was around, I wouldn't go but there are other reasons.
Can I...can I go over there and play for awhile?
- Okay..but as long as I can see you.
Good!
- Have you told him? - We spoke.
Has He Han tried to get you to stay?
He respects my decision.
How about Tang Jing?
Same as before. If it was me, I would be like this too.
So I feel that if I leave with Miss Wu,
then she may believe that I didn't do anything.
Who knows? It may be possible to reconcile both of us.
But this is not under my control.
I just need to take care of myself and that's enough.
Miss Wu is a good mentor. I can see my bright future!
I still feel that I should apologise to you, He Han and Tang Jing.
You know if not for my issue, you would not have to suffer.
And also not encounter so many problems now.
If not for the difficulties and tough times, there are a lot of good things too
I want to thank you. If not for the time you helped to throw me out,
I wouldn't have known my capacity to handle things.
Life has so many possibilities
I'm only afraid that I will stand here with nothing and be a bother throughout my life.
So even if I'm passive or taking the initiative
I do need to leave this familiar place.
Still I feel that this is better than
living my days being unlucky Mrs Chen.
I hope you can stay in Shanghai.
In this way, you can give me a chance to make amends with Ping'er and you.
Even though you say it doesn't matter as it's in the past,
but the guilt in my heart grows deeper and deeper.
If you say it like this, wouldn't you feel guilty towards your present family later on?
Last question.
I know what you want to ask.
Yes, I love He Han.
A lot of women love him.
But I choose to keep it in y my heart.
♫ Didn't know that you would be here ♫
♫ Guess you thought that I knew ♫
I don't love you anymore, even a bit.
Or else, I will not be honest with you and sit here to say these to you.
♫ I feel my heart tear in two ♫
No matter what happens to you and Ping'er in the future,
my guilt and responsibility towards you two
will always be around.
♫ And I'm left here wondering just how ♫
♫ How could this seems so real ♫
How about it, Ping'er? Are you done packing?
This luggage is too small.
Look, there are still so many that I haven't placed inside it yet.
Put them all in my luggage. I still have space.
Okay.
Be careful.
For a child, life is always addition,
the more the better.
For an adult, what one should do is subtraction.
For things you think you can't bear to part, heartlessly turn around and leave.
Maybe in the end, you'll realize
that it's really not true that it must be them.
Hello, Xiao Dong.
Are you beside your computer?
Hurry and read the industry forum. Get in and go to the second entry.
Look at it.
Is it talking about Tang Jing?
Could it be about what we've done?
It shouldn't have caused this huge effect.
He's back. I'll look for you tomorrow.
You're home.
Still not sleeping.
Oh, right, I want to talk to you about something.
That...isn't Ping'er also going to Guangdong?
I bought some summer clothes and will just deliver them to him on Monday.
It's still you who think things thoroughly.
Oh, right.
Aren't they already moving out?
This way, the house will be empty.
I am thinking that since it will be empty, why don't we rent it out?
This way, it can add to a month of our income. What do you think?
Let's just talk about it once they have left.
Okay.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The 1/2 Heart Team @ viki
...Tang Jing...confidential data leaked...
What is going on here?
I didn't give the BOP CEO all the files that you gave me.
I just gave some layout plans in secondary and tertiary cities to him.
I swear. I didn't give them any cost data.
I am after all from Cheng Xing too.
Cheng Xing treated me well.
I cannot destroy the company's name like that.
What's the use of you just giving them
news about opening of new shops in Chongqing and Suzhou?
You want to frame Tang Jing as leaking secrets
so you should leak confidential data.
What is a confidential data? Cost numbers are confidential data.
You gave BOP Angel's cost data?
BOP is Angel's greatest competition.
Before Tang Jing came to Chen Xing to handle the Angel project,
she has a good relationship privately with BOP's CEO.
A few days ago, someone even saw them eating together.
Angel already sent someone to the company this morning to ask for an explanation.
They insist that Tang Jing was double-crossing them
and sold the numbers.
Xiao Dong,
this is a very huge matter so why didn't you tell me beforehand?
What if we got found out?
This is leaking a client's confidential data. We'll get in big trouble for this.
How could that happen?
How could you get investigated on? You are already not part of the company.
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten how Tang Jing fired you in front of everyone?
No one in the company stood out to help you.
Just me.
Being benevolent and soft hearted,
better just not to do anything.
Let's not talk about me then.
What about you?
You are still working in the company.
Don't worry. I already considered about that.
That's why I let Cai Cai photocopy them.
And also, that photocopy room,
I have never even stepped into it these past days.
No evidence can point towards me.
I must go back to the company now. There is a general assembly at 10 am.
Looks like the issue has come to light.
Okay. I'm going now.
Let's just keep in touch if there will be new developments.
I feel that it will be better for us to limit our communications for the next few days.
What if they discover it?
We surely will bear grave consequences.
It won't happen.
I'm going now.
People from the Angel Company has just left.
What did they say?
They request that there will be an investigation on the reason and path on how the data got leaked.
For the meantime, they want you to be suspended and be put in probation.
I didn't do anything.
Of course, I believe that you're innocent.
But right now, we must make other people believe it.
Let the board of directors, let Angel,
let other people from our field believe you and Chen Xing.
The board of directors requests
that we must finish the investigation on whom did the problem arise
within one week.
All people who has dealt with this project must be asked once.
And also, the data analysis group may also be suspects.
Tang Jing,
I feel that presently,
you should apologize to the other party.
Why must I?
I wasn't the one who leaked the data.
If I really want to betray Angel,
these cost data are nothing.
I could have leaked more important details to BOP.
I understand.
This is the reason why I told you beforehand
not to interact with anyone from BOP.
Once you get seen by someone,
whatever bad thing will happen to Angel, some nosy person
will blame it on you. Understand?
I'll go to Angel personally.
While the matter hasn't been clearly investigated yet,
they cannot put the blame on me.
I'll go.
Listen. Starting today,
I will face Angel
while you investigate who the internal spy is.
What is it?
Say it.
Were there other companies adding insult to injury?
Some clients mentioned that while the investigation is on-going,
they want you or some other people to handle their projects.
And there is one client who is in the process of signing a contract with us who requested
that they will only sign after the investigation is done.
I'll immediately go to Angel now.
Tang Jing, you are responsible to find out who the mastermind is.
Junsheng will handle the data analysis group
and other support departments.
It's better that I'm the one to go there.
Listen to me for now.
Just do as what I have said.
Is there still anything else?
Aren't you going to send Zijun off?
If I send her off, I'll just add to her problems.
Moreover, she is just going to Guangdong.
If I really want to see her, it's just a 2 hour plane ride.
I thought that you would try everything to stop her.
I think that she has decided to leave no matter what.
Aren't you going to send them off?
I originally planned to go.
But with so many things happening to the company right now,
I think it's better that I stay.
- Look after Tang Jing.- Don't worry.
I love you.
Goodbye.
Hello. We'll be arriving at the airport in about one hour.
The whole company right now is in disarray due to the matter with Angel.
I'm afraid I can't make it to the airport to see them off.
Oh, then Jiaqing and I will take Ping'er to the airport.
Just take Ping'er to Zijun.
I already talked to her on the phone.
Okay.
How's that issue with Tang Jing?
Did the issue become too big? It's not very serious, right?
It looks like a small matter,
But right now, it might not only influence Tang Jing's reputation
but it also might get Chen Xing in trouble.
More than half of our clients are asking about this matter.
But actually, it is their trust on us that's currently being loss.
This is Tang Jing's issue. What does it have to do with Chen Xing?
We'll talk later.
The most urgent thing now is to find out who exposed those documents.
Pull out the one who committed this crime
and clear the company's name and Tang Jing's.
I'm hanging up first.
Auntie Ling Ling.
Dad can't come send us off at the airport, right?
Dad has an urgent matter.
Is it Aunt Tang Jing who has an urgent matter?
You kids don't get involved with adults' matters.
Didn't you say you were too busy at the store and couldn't come? Why are you here?
No matter how busy I am, I still have to send you off.
That... person didn't come?
- Who?- He Han.
It is you who should come and not him in the first place.
You guys really broke up?
You're cruel.
During those two days when mom was sick, I saw how much he likes you.
Okay, okay. Where's Bai Guang?
I don't know. We're not in contact.
What happened?
Bai Guang is fine, Ah Hui is fine. I don't care.
My main goal now is to earn money to support myself and my son.
I already thought it through.
Anyone who tries to take advantage of me, I'll let him leave.
You think that's the secret message behind mom leaving me those money?
What secret message? The message is quite clear.
Don't worry. I've already thought about it. In less than 3 to 5 years,
I'll already increase those three hundred plus thousand yens of mom by several times.
I'll then open up branches so that you would be able to eat my wanton in Guangdong too.
I'm waiting.
Mom! Little auntie!
Baby!
- You've grown up!- Hello, aunt!
You're looking more and more like mom. So pretty.
Is this Luo Ziqun?
My sister came to see me leave.
Where's dad?
There was a sudden urgent situation at his company, so he couldn't come.
- Where's your luggage?- I already checked in.
We're going then.
Say goodbye to Auntie and Jiaqing.
Is Aunt Tang Jing's urgent situation resolved?
What urgent situation?
Dad didn't come because he had
to deal with Aunt Tang Jing's urgent situation.
- During your call, Junsheng didn't tell you?- No.
Diretor Tang encountered some problems at the company.
Junsheng didn't come because he had to resolve that problem.
What problem?
It's a very specific matter, I also don't know.
After all, I've already left Chen Xing.
But it's likely it doesn't have to do with you.
Just focus on your flight. Isn't Ms. Wu coming?
She usually will leave late. She won't be here this early.
We're going, then.
Say goodbye to Jiaqing and to Aunt.
We're going.
- Goodbye!- Bye!
We'll call when we get there.
Bye-bye! Be a good boy!
Bye-bye!
What's our entrance gate?
Our...
[Zijun]
All are calls to console me and inquire about the matter.
What's happening? How was the examination?
I've already went through the emails and chat history of the employees.
Nothing was suspicious.
Anyone who would do such a thing,
will of course won't use the company's email and IP address.
Yes.
But we don't have a way to investigate their private messages.
Diretor Tang, have you seen your mail?
The Angel Company has already terminated their contract with us.
Where are you going?
I'm going to look for the person who sent the email.
It was from the board of directors.
Then I'll look for the board of directors.
They were just temporarily pacifying Angel.
They didn't really say what they are going to do to you.
They just said that you are having a temporary leave.
I can't resign and I can't go on leave.
I have to stay here and check every problem properly.
I cannot let people say that I got money from both sides, that I betrayed the company.
How am I supposed to stand my ground in our field from now on?
Because of my many years of experience at Chen Xing
If you go against them now,
they will instead forcefully suspend you.
The company still has me and He Han.
Even if you don't trust my ability,
you have to trust He Han will resolve everything.
Of course.
If it's like it was before, of course I can still trust him.
I think now you can still trust him, like before.
He Han?
It's not. It's from home.
I'm sorry. I didn't have time to take you to the airport.
It's fine. I'm not really going to a very far place.
I'm calling to ask what's the matter with Tang Jing.
Tang Jing this time most likely had offended someone.
She got schemed.
But don't worry. We surely will find the truth behind this matter.
Just take the child, be at ease, and go to Shenzhen.
When you arrive there, there surely will be a lot of things that you have to worry about.
Don't worry about Tang Jing here. When I have time, we'll talk again.
Okay.
Respectable guests,
the flight towards Shenzhen is now boarding.
Please hurry and board the plane.
Mom! Mom! We can board now!
I know.
- Mom still has to make another call.- Okay.
- Hello?- Hello? Cai Cai?
It's Luo Zijun. Do you remember me?
When I was at Chen Xing, we were good friends.
So now that I'm leaving to Guangdong to work
I just want to inform you and say my farewell. Thank you.
I heard Ling Ling left and Tang Jing came in.
You aren't aware of such a big matter?
I'm guessing that Tang Jing this time will surely be in serious trouble.
What happened to Tang Jing?
Quickly, tell me what happened. What's the matter?
Why do you sound so nervous?
I was the one who photocopied Angel's data.
It was Sister Xiao Dong who told me to photocopy them.
I don't know what she has to do.
I don't know if it's just Angel's things.
Mom, can we go?
Ping'er, I don't think we can fly today.
What happened?
It's because Aunt Tang Jing has a problem, mom has to go back and help her.
- We'll go now, okay?- Okay.
