[Episode 46]
Careful.
Is the elevator broken?
Yes.
How long will this take?
I don't know. About an hour.
You can't do it at night? A lot of people have to use it during the day.
I don't want to do it during the day, but it's broken now.
- Both of them? - Broken again?
I'll carry you.
All the way up to 22nd floor? Can you do it?
That's alright. Come on.
Let me down.
How can I help you?
I would like to try on this dress, the one the mannequin is wearing.
I'm sorry. This is one of the new arrivals of the year and we are sold out.
New orders will have to be shipped from Italy. It takes about 10 days.
So popular?
Yes. Everything gets snatched up the moment they arrive.
We have a different dress over there, if you are interested.
That's okay. Thanks.
Alright.
Eighth floor.
Eighth floor?
Are you tired?
I'm okay. No problem.
You okay? Hang on.
Can you do this?
Yes, I can. No problem.
Suddenly I feel like I'm the wife taken against her will by Pigsy.
So you're saying you are my wife?
Only if you are Pigsy.
Hello?
President Gu. You have another week, not a single day longer.
If you still can pay up,
the bank will take the property you used as collateral.
I know. I'm sorry.
Come in.
President Gu, President Li wanted to see you in his office.
Okay.
Watch your foot.
- You okay? - I'm alright.
Good. Be careful.
Look at you, all exhausted.
- I'm okay. - Okay?
I'm alright.
What are you doing? Sit down.
- What do you think you are doing? - I'm getting you a drink.
I can get it myself. I'm your legs now.
I'm not handicapped.
You don't have to be strong all the time. Where is the drink?
In the refrigerator.
You wanted to see me?
Have a seat.
It's been a while since I last saw you in the office. What have you been up to?
I've been doing some market research.
You were right. DP's top brands boosted the sales of its second-tiered brands.
Their overall sales are now bouncing back.
The numbers for Xin Baorui, on the other hand, are dropping.
Ning Weikai is taking care of Grace and has no time for the company.
Grace sure got injured at a bad time. The timing is wicked. I suspect Peter had something to do with it.
So what did you talk about?
Yanzhi, I trust you. So I won't push you too hard.
You know Peter better than I do.
I got it.
Okay. I believe you.
Hello, Woodpecker.
Okay. I got it. I'm on my way.
What's up?
Nothing. Please get me copy of Qingcheng's sales record.
Okay.
Here. Drink this.
I'm fine. You drink it.
You good?
What? You care about me?
Don't flatter yourself. I'm just worried.
It's only 22 floors and look at you.
You don't seem to have stamina.
And that worries me.
You are worried?
Then I'll work on it so you'll stop worrying.
What's that smile? Stop it.
Come on, just a kiss.
-What's the matter? - You hurt my foot.
Are you okay?
Better?
My father used to massage my feet like this when I was little.
One day I was late for school.
So Father took me to school on a bike.
I was too young to know better and had my foot stuck in the wheel.
I lied on the ground crying violently.
He carried me on his back and took me to a hospital 2 kilometers out.
He didn't even realize his shoes went off on the way until
we arrived at the hospital.
There were blisters all over his feet.
I can't stop thinking of him.
But I'll never see him again.
Don't worry.
There will be a man who loves you even more than your father.
Really?
Lao Zhao and Peter are in the car.
All I saw was Lao Zhao getting into the car. I don't know what's happening in there.
We agreed on 30,000.
20,000 is a lot.
You didn't do it right and Li Zhicheng found out about you.
I'll call the police if you don't pay me as you promised.
Are you threatening me? Go ahead.
Go! Go to the police.
Don't forget you are in this as much as I am.
I have diplomatic immunity.
The worst case scenario, I'd just pack up and go home. What about you?
You will go to jail. You won't be able to take care of your family.
President Li! I didn't take the money!
President Li! I'm sorry! I made a mistake.
President Li! I needed money so badly!
Woodpecker.
I have nothing to do with this.
Get out.
You'll receive a court order about unfair competition.
If you are a man, you'll do it like a man.
Don't go dirty like this.
President Li, he is gone.
He spent the money. He will have to protect himself.
He will never be your witness. And you have no material evidence against me.
You had someone take a few pictures of me, but what can they prove?
Nothing.
Even if you put him on the stand, I can always counter sue.
You orchestrated the bad buttons incident
to undermine DP.
I can play this game.
Then let's play.
President Li, it doesn't have to come to this.
We can be partners.
Don't break our partnership just because I plagiarized your girlfriend's design.
Too silly. A man seeing the big picture won't do it.
You want an honest fight? Okay.
Sell Qingcheng and Snowy Smoke to DP.
This way, you keep Wenda. Otherwise...
Okay.
You plagiarized my design. You hired my employee to sabotage my shipments.
You disrupted my stores.
You had someone hurt Grace.
President Li, you are a very imaginative man.
I could sue you for libel.
Everything you said is your imagination.
Here is a fact:
Sales of Qingcheng's shirts are plummeting.
Qingcheng is a wasted opportunity in your hand.
It can only succeed when DP acquires it.
Or it dies together with Wenda.
Peter, I thought you could come around before it's too late.
But I can see you have no remorse.
Okay. Here is a fact for you, Peter:
Wenda and Qingcheng will be fine.
Simeiqi and Xin Baorui will be fine.
DP will be out of the picture.
Gone.
President Li, I appreciate
your confidence wherever you got it from.
We'll see.
Buy yourself a copy of H Magazine.
What do we do with Lao Zhao?
Don't go after him for now. He's scared.
Peter must have threatened him. Give him some time.
Get a copy of H Magazine.
Okay.
BASIC HOUSE
Subtitles brought to you by the Time of Our Life Team @ Viki
There were cameras where it happened. I'll try and get the footage.
Make sure you do.
If it was an accident then we'll let go.
If someone pushed her, that's serious.
Got it.
Keep me up to date.
I will.
Okay.
Your foot.
Keep this hot towel on it.
Don't they treat bruises with cold towels?
Yes, when the bruise is new. You need a hot towel now. It helps the swelling.
You do know something.
Careful.
Hello?
Weikai, come back to the company now.
What's the matter?
Come back now. No questions.
Okay. I got it.
Something came up at the company and they need me there.
Then go.
- Are you okay on your own? - I'll be fine. Go.
Okay.
Sister Qian. Look at this.
An extra of H Magazine for today.
"Golden couple of the garment industry bogged down in scandal."
"Qingcheng shirt a consumers trap." Nonsense!
We just took the photo. How can the studio do this?
They gave it to the magazine without our permission.
They will have to explain.
Go with Lin Qian.
Sister Qian.
Here?
Hanchong. Think twice.
I've decided.
What is this?
He is selling his shares in Xin Baorui.
I'm Wang Dong, his lawyer. I represent Mr. Zhu in this transaction.
Zhu Hanchong, you are selling Xin Baorui?
Xin Baorui's performance is so bad.
I believe DP's growth will be fast.
Look at the attire retailers in China and name one that's doing fine.
It's time to cash out and do something I really enjoy.
Maybe mobile games, property management or logistics.
You...
Xin Baorui is the first company our family ever built.
Do you know what the name means to us?
Sister, you can save those big talks.
Xin Baorui has never had any emotional values to me and I never had a say in it.
What am I supposed to do with these shares?
You are a Zhu!
I know. But the Zhus don't control Xin Baorui, do they?
Zhu Hanchong!
Please take a moment and think about it. This is not about money.
Xin Baorui is the legacy of the late chairman, his life's work.
If you need money, I can help you.
I don't need money.
This is my right and I'm free to do it, right?
Zhu Hanchong, you bring shame to this family.
Father has just died and you are cashing out.
Sister, you always call me a loser.
Now I want to do something that's really mine and you try to stop me.
If I'm a loser, that's because of you!
You...
I have decided.
Zhu Hanchong, if you sell Xin Baorui,
you are no longer my brother.
Sister! Why can't you see?
If I don't get out now, when Xin Baorui goes down,
my shares will be worth nothing.
What are you talking about? Say it again!
Calm down, sister.
You taught me don't let emotions get in the way of business.
You are letting emotions cloud your judgement.
Whatever. I'm tired.
You will have to take it from here.
You really don't have to be the hero in this fight with DP.
They are a multi-national, with a huge pile of cash.
You know this better than I do. Xin Baorui can't win this.
Zhus Group owns many businesses.
You don'g have to get hung up on this one.
Very well. But tell me
who you are selling it to?
There are several interested buyers.
You better not sell it to DP.
I won't unless I have to.
I feel useless for not being able to stop Hanchong.
Dad wouldn't want to see this.
Don't beat yourself up.
You did everything you could.
I didn't think Zhu Hanchong
would really go through.
Weikai, please save Xin Baorui.
Don't worry. I believe Xin Baorui
will survive this.
Where were you today?
Grace was injured.
She needs me
right now.
That's none of my business.
But this morning
we and DP both released our limited editions.
People started waiting in lines out of DP stores at 5 am.
And there have been scalpers.
Their Royal line is killing us.
And you
are not doing anything about it.
Im sorry. I have to go.
Ning Weikai!
You are Grace are already together.
I don't care.
I know you can't force someone to love you.
But I hope you'll remember
the promise you made my father.
As the president of Xin Baorui,
the company is your top priority.
Don't worry.
I intend to keep my promise.
I will take care of the company.
I will stick with Xin Baorui until we see the end of this.
But now,
I have to go.
What do you mean?
As opinion leaders of the industry,
we have a responsibility to reveal problems. It's good for the overall health of the industry.
But this is tabloid writing.
That's why we put it in an extra.
You caused damage to the reputation of Qingcheng and Wenda and to me and Lin Qian.
We can sue you for that.
President Li, I don't know if you read the article.
I went through it several times myself and I was careful with the words it used.
The legal team vetted it too. It is reporting some facts.
Lisa, let me give you a word of advise.
Stay away from Peter.
There is a Chinese saying:
Talks before fight.
You don't want to get in the crossfire when the fight begins.
President Li, please don't scare me.
I have always liked you.
We are having a party
tonight. You want to come?
A wild party.
No, but thanks.
I acquired Zhu Hanchong's shares in Xin Baorui. And the price offered you is pretty high.
You have no reason to say no.
I'll think about it.
For how long?
I'll call you when I'm ready.
Your position in Wenda is awkward.
Li Zhicheng will always be your boss.
But I think you are a better manager
than Li Zhicheng.
But in China, nepotism is everything.
Have you ever considered how you want to live the rest of your life?
I have to go now.
Hello.
Zhu Hanchong sold his shares in Xin Baorui.
He did?
To DP?
I don't know yet.
DP took their high end and middle end market. They feared they wouldn't be able to compete.
One of the Zhus is throwing in the towel.
Actually,
shares are just
a number going up and down
unless you cash them out.
Better to turn them into a house or a car.
Or use them to start something new.
What do you mean?
Nothing. Just a thought.
Create a pr piece about this magazine
and put it on my desk when you are done.
Have you ever considered how you want to live the rest of your life?
You borrowed money from the bank.
You'll lose everything if you can pay back.
Less water. I don't like it.
How did you catch the cold?
You kept the air conditioner so low.
My bad.
Drink this. You'll feel better.
I'll drink it later.
How can you get better if you don't take the medicine?
It's too hot.
I'll blow it for you.
Zhu Hanchong is unbelievable.
He had no idea what it means to sell his shares.
There was no stopping him.
I did everything I could.
I don't want to see Xin Baotui
ruined by Zhu Hanchong.
Alright. Don't beat yourself up.
You did everything for Xin Baorui.
They would have died so many times
if you hadn't been there to bring them back in the game.
Actually I kind of want to be you right now.
Taking a break and having to worry about nothing.
Pretty good.
Of course. It's supposed to be like this.
Bust your butt making money when you are young so you can do nothing but spend money for the rest of your life.
Let's go somewhere fun when my foot is healed.
- Where? - I want to go to Switzerland first.
Then Iceland. Then the UK.
Actually my favorite destination is a beautiful little town in Europe.
It's right next to Vienna. We could spend half a month there. What do you say?
Deal? Pinky swear.
Drink this first.
- Hello? Gao Lang. - President Li, I saw the footage.
I'm sure someone pushed Grace.
Can you get the footage?
I can't. And it won't help even if I get it.
The image is grainy and the man is wearing a hat.
I can't see his face but it's unmistakable
he pushed Grace.
Okay. I got it.
What was it?
Gao Lang saw the surveillance footage.
He was sure someone pushed you down the stairs.
What?
The photo studio gave me all the pictures.
I went to confront them.
They said they didn't know how the pictures got leaked.
They apologized.
Asking how the pictures got leaked is no longer important.
The studio is just a pawn of whoever is behind this.
And I talked to Lisa. She wouldn't admit nor deny it.
But i'm sure it was her working with Peter.
I warned her about being used by Peter.
I put together a plan to deal with this.
And Gu Yanzhi is doing it as we speak.
Did you ask him about his meeting with Peter?
I don't know how to bring it up.
Right. We must be careful
before we have any evidence.
You don't want it to hurt your relationship.
I trust him.
And I trust my judgement.
I've been so busy with the photos and work in the office.
Everything in my body hurts so badly.
It hurts!
- My neck. - Okay.
Are you trying to strangle me?
-Who is it?
Work.
Hmm. Okay. I got it.
That's right.
Go! Go! Go! Get in the car!
Chen Heihei!
Why do you have to make it so hard for us?
Every time I pick you up I have to wait light years away from your office.
I'm sorry. Okay? Listen,
there is an exhibition showcasing some French designer's works. I heard it's very good. Take me there.
-Hold on. - What?!
There is only seven days a week. You work six.
And you study on the seventh. Aren't you tired?
Let me take you to a party tonight.
I bet it's better than some exhibition.
Can I take rain check? Look at my dress.
I thought of it. Here.
This is limited edition I snatched up today on vip.com.
Do you like it?
How thoughtful.
Let's go!
I accept your offer.
You are smart. You won't regret this.
Wire the money to my account.
No problem.
We should toast this moment.
But I have a condition.
You can't tell anyone
before this is done.
I have my plan.
No problem.
[Gu Yanzhi]
-Don't take it off. - Why?
It's a masquerade party. It won't be fun without it.
Remember my mask and don't get lost.
Hello, handsome! You want a drink?
Later. Let's go.
Well? Do you like it?
Let's go.
I can't dance.
I said I would take you to have some fun. Come on.
-This is awkward. - Do you like it?
- You dance like a...gorilla. - What?
You are like a gorilla.
Now, change partners. Let's go!
Chen Zheng!
Hello!
What's your problem?
- Don't be shy. Carry on. - Stop it. Chen Zheng!
Keep your hands to yourself!
- Let's continue. - Pervert!
Why did you come to this party if you can't play along?
- I won't play along. - Are you crazy?
- What are you doing, Xinyu? - Chen Zheng,
is she with you?
Your taste is getting worse.
Watch your mouth. Walk it off.
Crazy bitch.
Yayi?
Yayi! Yayi!
Where are you going? I already took care of him for you.
For me?
Well, you were feisty in there throwing that drink at him. Way to go!
That's my girl!
Was the party fun? Exciting, isn't it?
Right, so exciting!
Nobody knows who you are behind the mask so you can tango with anyone you like.
Exciting! Fun!
Why are you being so uptight? You've been working too hard and I just wanted to help you relax.
It's a masquerade party. You can't reveal your true self without putting on a mask.
So that was the true you?
I thought you had changed since we started dating. You didn't.
Where are you going? If you don't like it here we can go somewhere for fun.
Fun? Is that all you can ever think about? Fun?
You think going out with someone gives you the right to parade her at some pervert party?
Of course, I wanted to let them all know you are my girlfriend.
Listen to me, Chen Zheng. To me a relationship means two people going out.
It is not a party as you know it.
If you like being surrounded by a lot of girls, that's your life.
But I want my boyfriend to hold my hand and never let go.
Do you understand?
I'm holding it.
You let it go on the dancing floor.
Now it's too late.
Enough, Chen Zheng.
I don't want anything to do with this tacky, obscene game.
I want my life back.
You and I are over.
What do you mean? Are you breaking up with me?
Why did we have to hide around all the time? Am I so embarrassing to you?
Okay, we are over! Fine with me!
What are you doing back?
Sister! Are you still mad at me?
I don't want to talk to you now.
Sister!
You shouldn't be mad at me. I don't think I did anything wrong.
Sister! Dad's gone.
If I lose you too, then I have nothing.
Sister, do you know? I've been sitting here waiting for you
just like I used to sit here waiting for Dad.
Do you remember how he didn't come back for the night?
And I was so hungry so I went out to get something to eat.
I came back and couldn't sleep. So I grabbed a stool
and sat here waiting for him to come back.
He was so busy and would sleep at work for several nights in a roll.
So I just sat here waiting, and waiting
occasionally looking up at the stars.
I know the exact position
of each star as well as I know the back of my hand.
Right. I remember
how you sat here waiting for Dad.
Dad wouldn't let you and hit you for that.
Yes.
I always got the beating.
I remember
I liked nothing better than sitting at the doorway and watching the old folks play chess.
I just wanted to be the first
to greet him
when he came back from work on his bike.
