[Negotiator]
[Episode 6]
Where are you taking me to eat?
Don't worry. Just follow me.
Really?
What are you doing?
What am I doing?
Didn't you see that car pass by so closely?
You're a woman. You need to know how to protect yourself.
I'm older than you. You think I can't cross the street?
So what if you're older? You're still a woman who needs to be protected.
I'll protect you.
- Right? - Watch it, kid.
Eat.
This is what you want me to eat?
This too.
Does that make a difference?
The Chinese have been eating this since ancient times.
Porridge?
You just came from the hospital.
My job is to nurse you back to health and then we can complete our work.
Then you can return to New York where you can eat whatever you want
You could even devour the Empire State Building.
Can't you say something nice?
You want to hear something nice?
When we finish our work, I'll say whatever you want to hear.
Work, work, work. Do you know anything besides work?
Can you tell me what CAEA pays you?
Saying that is in poor taste.
Then let me rephrase.
Why do you work so hard?
You wouldn't understand if I tell you.
Just tell me. Consider it teaching a client.
- Because of Jonathan. - Jonathan?
I know.
It's the one you posted about and called a god of negotiation.
You remember?
Is he that incredible?
He's very important to me.
I had just joined CAEA and was still learning.
I didn't know anything.
One time, Jonathan came to the Shanghai branch for inspections.
He watched my simulation negotiation and said to me
"Negotiation isn't giving tit for tat. It is communication from heart to heart."
And then?
Of course, it might not mean much to you
but it was like sudden enlightenment for me.
I feel he was the one who helped me find the meaning of life.
I've been working hard all these years
in the hopes that I can one day work alongside him at our U.S. headquarters.
There is a ring of light shining upon you.
Eat your porridge quickly. It'll get cold soon.
Get in.
You seem to be mostly recovered. Why don't we go our separate ways now?
- What's wrong? - My stomach suddenly hurts.
What are you going to do?
Why don't you get in the car first?
If anything happens to me while I drive, the project will be a bust.
To celebrate our restored diplomacy, I've decided to take you to a place.
Where?
I'll tell you when you get in the car.
Hurry up. You make me push you in every time.
Come on!
What is this place?
An indoor extreme sports center.
- Can you do this? - What are we doing here?
What else?
To be extreme for a bit.
- You just came from the hospital. - So what?
When I'm here, I don't feel sick at all.
The air is filled with a restorative atmosphere.
You just left the hospital. You should avoid strenuous exercise.
Don't worry. I promise I won't delay your project's progress.
Can you not look like you swallowed a fly?
Jump with me, will you?
Get up!
You must be the fly.
Right, right. I'm the fly.
- It's about time to leave, right? - About time?
We just got started. Come on!
Admit defeat?
No.
I've never lost a competition in my life.
Impressive.
There's a rock wall over there. If I win...
You have to let me kiss you.
Taunts aren't going to work on a professional negotiator.
Dare to take the challenge?
You're on.
Where are you going?
I'm going home.
I'll give you a ride.
No need.
Hey!
- Just now-- - It was a misunderstanding.
I know.
I'm going. Bye.
You're always so mean to me.
You're not scared of me now, are you?
As expected, her friends circle is just as cold as she is.
Looks like she has a lot of secrets.
Now do you believe me?
I believe you.
In this world, other than my mom...
She is probably the second person to have such faith in me.
It's a wonderful feeling.
[Xie Xiao Fei]
Hello, Chairman Fei? It's late. Is something the matter?
Uh...
If it's nothing, I'll hang up now.
Wait! What's the rush?
Tomorrow's Sunday, your day off.
If you have something to say, just say it.
I just want to thank you.
You call me in the middle of the night just to say thank you?
I just want to thank you.
When so many people wouldn't trust me, you did.
I'm really...
quite touched.
And I was such a jerk.
You dislike me so much.
Why...
did you believe me?
Just because you're an annoying jerk
doesn't prevent me from believing in your innocence.
That's why I'm asking you why.
A woman's intuition.
You're actually not that unlikable.
Is that a compliment?
Definitely. You need to keep this up.
Maybe one day I'll like you.
Please don't. No, thank you.
Why not?
If you like me
my life would probably turn into a horror film.
Do you know what you're saying?
Do you know how many women are waiting for me to like them?
They're lining up!
That's great. Please go to the ones in line. Goodnight, Chairman Fei.
Wait!
Hello?
You hung up on me?
Fine.
[I'm going to beat you up!]
Chairman Fei, it's late. Go to sleep soon.
[No way.]
This is enough.
[What can you do about it?]
Who uses their own emoticons? Narcissist.
15,000? What? Two burial plots will cost 15,000 yuan?
That's highway robbery!
That could buy two square meters at the city center.
Two plots aren't even a square meter.
What is this? How do you do business?
That is already a very reasonable cost. Why don't we discuss this?
Discuss what? This is a dishonest business.
- Forget it! We're not buying it. - Calm down.
Wei Wei, let's go!
What are you standing there for? Let's go!
Let's go.
Wei Wei, it's about time. Scatter the ashes.
Auntie, I don't want to.
Mom and Dad left money.
Please, buy a grave for them!
Be good, child.
Your parents did leave you some money
but it needs to cover your tuition and living expenses.
If you buy them a grave, what will you do in the future?
How will you survive?
Besides, burial at sea is nice.
Be good. Don't cry.
Your parents know you are a good child.
Scatter them.
Dad! Mom!
This is enough.
Wei Wei?
Were you sleeping?
How come it's you?
Who did you expect it to be?
Nobody. What is it, Tian Yu?
Nothing. I just wanted to ask...
Xie Xiao Fei didn't give you a hard time later, did he?
No.
That's good.
Is there anything else?
No.
Then I'm going to sleep.
You should too. Goodnight.
Sleep well. Goodnight.
This is enough.
How come it's you?
It's so late.
Whose call was she waiting for?
Xie Xiao Fei?
Mr. Qin is calling me? That's rare.
Shan Shan, don't tease me.
All right. What did you call me for?
Uh...
This is... quite embarrassing to talk about.
The composed Mr. Qin becomes flustered when it comes to matters of love?
Hey. I knew you'd laugh at me.
All right, I'll stop joking.
Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on Wei Wei for you.
I won't let her fall into someone else's hands. Okay?
Good. Thanks.
- Bye. - Okay, bye.
What makes you so happy?
I'm not telling you.
You don't have to tell me. You'll spill when you can't keep it in anymore.
Qin Tian Yu called me just now.
It was about Tong Wei, wasn't it?
How did you guess that?
I say, when all is said and done, Mr. Qin is still young.
In love, he likes the challenge.
The more difficult a woman, the more he likes them, right?
I bought something for you.
What is it?
Doesn't it look nice?
Put it on!
This...
It's so childish.
Morning.
Good morning, Chairman Fei.
Don't call me Chairman Fei. Call me Xiao Fei.
That wouldn't be appropriate at work.
Say that again.
Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei.
That sounds much better.
The elevator is here.
What are you doing?
What did you mean by what you said last night?
Which part?
You said if I like you, your life would turn into a horror film.
What are you laughing at?
Yesterday, I said...
It wouldn't be a horror film, but a comedy.
No, a comedy horror. Is there such a genre?
Commercial development is similar to housing development.
For example, they both include positioning
planning and design, construction, and so on.
- Investment-- - Manager, the food is here.
Everybody's been working hard. Let's eat.
Finally! I'm starving.
- Here you go. - Thanks.
Manager Tong, time to eat.
You guys eat first.
Okay.
I forgot Chairman Fei doesn't eat takeout food.
Who says?
I want takeout food today.
Don't you only eat grand meals?
The one who keeps me company is too busy. Oh well.
If you don't eat, I'll take you to have caviar.
Eat more.
How come you're here?
I was shopping nearby in the afternoon so I dropped by to visit you.
Like I'd believe that.
Back then, the rumors about you and Qi caused quite a stir around the office.
You avoid seeing your old coworkers. You'd come here on your own?
Tell me what's up.
That's because I heard there's recently been a change in the CAEA rumor spotlight
so I came to join in the fun.
- Who is it? - You!
Qin Tian Yu told me he was afraid you were going down the same path I did
and becoming involved with a client.
He fearfully sought help from me.
Qin Tian Yu must be insane! He meant Xie Xiao Fei and I?
I didn't say who. You said it yourself.
I...
Shan Shan, I don't treat my job lightly.
I originally thought his concerns were unnecessary
but when I saw you and Xie Xiao Fei at the door doing... What is it called?
Exchanging flirtatious glances? Yes, that's right.
I thought he should absolutely be worried.
Yes, please tell Tian Yu
he has already been knocked out of the game by Xiao Fei.
No way. You're serious?
How could that be possible?
The company has a rule that
relationships are not allowed between negotiators and clients.
You should know that better than I do.
Ain't that the truth.
If I hadn't resigned
I would probably be your strongest competitor, wouldn't I?
Yes, yes.
There's no helping it. I place love first.
I gave up the job I like for love.
But I can't possibly give up my job.
You know that.
Before I clear my dad's name, how could I possibly leave the company?
Moreover, with a man like Xie Xiao Fei?
But I feel you probably have feelings for him.
Your rationality is just temporarily suppressing these feelings.
Yes, yes. You're most impressive. You know everything.
Please drink some tea and calm down.
Okay.
Listen, the only possibility between Xie Xiao Fei and I is that
it's impossible!
It's true.
- Drink tea. - Thank you, Madam.
Xiao Yao, check on the rooms.
- Hello. - Hello.
I made reservations for four rooms.
- Okay, let me check on that. - Okay.
I booked the restaurant downstairs for a work dinner.
Dinner starts at 6 o'clock sharp. No drinking allowed.
Return to your rooms to sleep at 9 p.m. to ensure you are well-rested.
Be in your best condition tomorrow.
- Okay. Understand? - Understood.
Go get ready.
How are you feeling? Tired?
I'm fine.
By the way, how are the preparations to knock the other party down a peg?
Would it not be so nice to do this?
All's fair in war.
It's already so late. Why don't we all go home and rest?
Rest well and continue tomorrow.
That would be good.
There's one more important matter.
Cui Xi.
Our meeting with Ke Wan is at 10 a.m. tomorrow. Please do not be late.
- Set your watches 10 minutes fast. - Okay.
I'll tell you the location later.
You've already scouted the location?
Cui Xi and I checked it out yesterday.
Cui Xi has already emailed you all information on things to take note of.
Please look it over.
If there are no questions, then this meeting is adjourned.
Thanks for your work.
- Bye, Chairman Fei. - See you tomorrow.
Nervous?
An appropriate amount of nerves can aid in boosting the fighting spirit.
Relax. It's nothing serious.
I can't relax. It'll be a tough battle tomorrow.
We can try to win. If we don't win this battle, we'll run.
Xie Xiao Fei, we have a very serious business negotiation tomorrow.
It concerns a project worth several billion yuan.
Nearly 50 people in total have taken part in this over the span of a month.
That doesn't even include Ke Wan's people.
I need to be responsible for myself and those people.
I have given my full efforts to each negotiation
since I joined the industry.
All right, I get it. Negotiation is a contest to you.
You have to win every round. You can't lose. Right?
Winning is a form of respect towards all the effort I put in.
Don't worry though. I don't have such high demands for you.
I only request that you don't be late or leave early.
You have such low standards for me?
I set low standards for you because you started out low.
You should leave soon.
This is for you.
Warm milk.
Drinking this before sleeping will relax you.
It really is warm.
I warmed it up with my body.
That's disgusting.
I don't care. You have to drink this milk tonight.
It's a form of respect towards my body heat! Drink it.
Okay, thanks.
You know there are microwaves in convenience stores, right?
Thank you.
Hey.
Is your heart made out of stone?
Do your best in tomorrow's negotiation.
Thank you for the milk.
No need for thanks.
- Bye. - Bye.
Warm milk.
Drinking this before sleeping will relax you.
You have to drink this milk tonight.
It's a form of respect towards my body heat!
Listen, I don't have time. Negotiations with Ke Wan begin tomorrow.
I need to sleep early tonight.
Wait, Xie Xiao Fei, what is your family doing?
I kept an eye on that land for you for two years.
Now that your family has it, they're selling it?
What did you say?
You didn't know about this?
Go onto WeChat and look at the link I sent you.
This really is a great project.
I really agree.
Okay. You have done a good job.
Just make sure it won't happen again.
Now, talking about our competition with--
- What is it? - Xiao Fei.
It's okay. Talk.
Dad, Xiao Fei knows we sold the land in Suzhou.
He wants to speak with you.
Don't you see I'm in a meeting?
He said if you don't talk to him, he'll fly back right away.
Hello?
I want an explanation.
It was a unanimous decision by the board of directors.
Why did you do it?
You know it's my mom's hometown. Yet, you still sold it?
I kept an eye on that land for two years! You know that!
That's where I want to turn my dreams into reality!
The corporation has its reasons for doing this.
You will understand later.
What did the chairman call you in for?
Uncle Cheng, do you still remember Xiao Fei's land in Suzhou?
Yes, his mother's hometown.
He had his eye on that land for a long time.
He finally had the chance to purchase it recently.
But according to what I know
Dad secretly sold the land behind his back.
I really don't understand.
That land is very important to Xiao Fei.
Wasn't Dad afraid he would anger Xiao Fei?
He reckoned he could profit, so he sold it.
Don't forget the chairman is a cold-hearted man.
He would disregard his own son's feelings for the sake of profit.
Much less you, who isn't his own.
Actually, you're better off. Think about your mother.
How much has she suffered by being with this old fox for so many years?
Let me tell you, Xiao Tian.
If I were in control, I wouldn't let you or your mother suffer any wrongs.
What is it, Cui Xi?
Manager, a real-time traffic update.
The North-South Elevated Road is backed up.
You must make sure to take surface roads.
So there is no traffic on surface roads?
There's traffic.
Based on my calculations, you'll have to head out 30 minutes early.
Okay, I got it.
Auntie, I'm in a hurry. I'm not eating. I'm leaving now.
Such a rush.
- Manager. - Good morning.
Where is Chairman Fei?
He drove himself. He should be on his way.
Okay. Let's head up first.
Watch out!
Wait, wait.
- Sorry, sorry. - Sorry.
Sorry.
Manager, what are you going to do?
Hold this for me, Cui Xi.
Excuse me, I'm going to the restroom.
Okay.
You got a stain?
Let me cover you.
No need to.
Here, it's okay. Use this to cover it.
Your clothes will get dirty too.
That's all right. What floor are you on? Why don't I help you upstairs?
I'm not staying here.
I'll get some clothes for you, then. We look like the same size.
- Hold on. - No need!
Here you go.
You really have some?
Give me your contact information so I can return it to you.
That's all right. Just leave it with the hotel front desk.
My last name is Liu. Bye now!
These...
Hello, Cui Xi?
I'll have to trouble you with something again.
Bring me my spare outfit from my car.
Hello, Ms. Tong. I am Ke Wan's Yang Xiao. I've heard much about you.
Hello, General Manager Yang.
This must be Ms. Zhao Chen Xi.
Hello, Ms. Tong.
- Please enter. - All right, let's.
Tong Wei recognized me and guessed my identity.
She's not simple.
You were standing next to me. She could easily guess who you are.
I arranged to have her clothes dirtied
so she would be made a fool of during the first negotiation.
She didn't fall for that. We'll have to tread carefully.
We'll play it by ear.
They seem to be having issues.
Xie Xiao Fei hasn't appeared.
This is a good opportunity.
Xie Xiao Fei still isn't here?
Manager Li has called him many times but he hasn't answered.
Okay. Contact him every way you can to tell him not to show up.
But he is X-Group's representative. Wouldn't it be bad if he isn't here?
His tardiness is a slight to the other party.
More seriously, it is an insult.
If he doesn't show, we can still come up with an excuse for him.
Okay.
Manager Li.
You'll have to represent X-Group today.
Me?
- Don't worry. I'll assist you. - All right.
Let's go.
We are very pleased to meet with X-Group's representatives today.
Allow me to first introduce Ke Wan Corporation.
Ke Wan is one of the very best property developers in China.
We specialize in
upscale real estate development in first-tier cities.
However, as you all know
in the wake of China's economic development
real estate in first-tier cities are shrinking.
That's why Ke Wan is seeking new growth opportunities.
Okay.
First of all, thank you very much to Ke Wan for
your willingness to conduct negotiations for a cooperation with X-Group.
X-Group's "18 Secrets" brand
is an internationally renowned high-end holiday resort brand.
Our holiday resorts are established in
the U.S.A., Canada, France, Switzerland, and such developed countries.
X-Group has always valued and paid close attention to the China market.
Following the rapid development of China's economy
and the rise of the Chinese people's demands for quality travel
we are currently searching for a suitable business partner in China
to collaboratively build China's...
- Ask him why Xie Xiao Fei didn't come. - Okay.
If there are no questions, may we now delve into the details?
Please hold on a moment.
I heard X-Group's representative this time should be
Xie Xiao Fei, the eldest son of X-Group's Chairman Xie Tian You.
How come I don't see him?
Chairman Fei--
Could it be that he doesn't think this conference to be important
so he didn't find the need to personally show up?
No, that's not it. It's mainly--
It's of course not what you said.
To be honest
Chairman Fei has not acclimatized to the food since coming to China
and has not been feeling well.
Yesterday, he finally fell ill.
Chairman Fei really wanted to be here
but we were afraid his health would cause delays
so we didn't let him come.
He told me to pass on the message that
he will host a dinner as compensation when he recovers.
Hello?
I'm fine. We'll talk tomorrow.
Bye.
It's begun.
How are talks going? Tell me about it.
Chairman Fei.
If you don't feel well, don't force yourself.
I... I'm feeling unwell? How come I don't know it?
- If you're unwell, I'll help you out. - What are you doing?
Who's unwell?
Since Chairman Fei is here, then let's all talk together.
Yang Xiao?
Hello, hello.
I am X-Group's Xie Xiao Fei.
You must have drank a lot yesterday.
I knew there's a meeting today so I didn't drink to my heart's content.
Tell me when you guys are done.
Take your pick along the Bund. I'll cover food and drinks.
You knew there is an important meeting today
yet, you still went your own way.
It's clear you think very little of Ke Wan.
In that case, Ke Wan no longer needs to treat you with due respect.
Ms. Tong, we'll be taking our leave now.
Director Zhao, let's go.
Please wait! I can explain!
No talks? That's fine.
What's with the cockiness? What's so extraordinary about Ke Wan?
GM Yang! GM Yang!
I'm very sorry about today.
Ms. Tong, Mr. Xie's display today
is sufficient proof that X-Group does not value today's negotiation talks.
Actually, I had heard he is known to be a prodigal son.
However, I didn't expect him to return our sincerity
by being late and hung over.
I'm very sorry about today.
I apologize on behalf of Chairman Fei.
We are fully responsible for all unpleasantness today.
However, I will provide you with an explanation.
Please give me a chance.
I will make our sincerity clear to you. Please.
