[Negotiator]
[Episode 13]
- Do you know what I saw last night? - What?
Xie Xiao Fei cuddling with a woman.
Where did you see that?
At Luo Bin's club.
Say, the woman was quite pretty.
Short hair, dainty face, and big eyes.
And her figure, if I were a man--
Don't... Don't say anymore.
What's wrong, Wei Wei?
I'm not interested in gossip.
I remember I have something to do. I have to go.
I'm alone again.
You probably don't know.
I really wish I can live in China.
I was so happy every time my mother brought me back when I was young.
Her hometown is so much better than the U.S.
It must be because in my bones I am Chinese.
I'm here. You're busy again?
Your boyfriend is talking to you. You're going to keep working?
Who are those from?
- A friend. - A friend?
Man or woman?
Is it your business?
Is it not your boyfriend's business?
Explain.
They're from Tian Yu.
Throw them away.
- Why? - You ask why?
Look for yourself. Those are roses for professing love.
Doesn't it mean something that he gave them to you?
I can't stop people from giving me things.
I don't care either. It's not allowed.
You can boss me around when there are no more women flocking around you.
I swear to you there are no other women around me.
It's true. Not even one. So, deal with those flowers quickly.
I'll order the most thoughtful and prettiest flowers for you.
I don't want to throw them away.
Excuse me. Everybody has arrived at the meeting room. Are you ready to start?
No!
We can start.
Good morning, Yang Xiao.
How did it go with Xie Xiao Fei last night?
You came in so early just to ask that?
As I expected, Xie Xiao Fei isn't as idiotic as he seems.
Why do you say that?
He was able to guess we have a difference of opinion internally
and is certain he has the upper hand because he and I are on the same boat.
I have a headache since he's so smart.
So what?
The entire company knows of
your strained relationship with your brother.
It's not a secret.
Xie Xiao Fei could find that out with just a little bit of effort.
I don't think that makes him smart.
You're not jealous, are you?
How could that be possible?
Yang Xiao, you have to help me finalize this deal.
Otherwise, my brother will bully me.
What are you doing?
Don't mess around during work.
Yes, General Manager Yang!
[Xie Xiao Fei]
- Hello? - Where are you?
- What is it? - I'm asking where you are.
Why did you leave so quickly after the meeting?
Is it any of your business where I am?
Don't push it. You're the one who accepted Qin Tian Yu's flowers.
I haven't settled that with you yet.
Bye.
How dare she hang up on me.
Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is powered off.
Sorry, the subscriber you--
Tian Tian, it's me.
That's it?
What do you mean that's it? She is two-timing me!
- Ha ha. - What are you laughing at?
How long have you known my cousin? Three months?
Less than a month.
Qin has liked my cousin for five years.
If Wei Wei doesn't like him
it doesn't matter if he likes her for 50 years!
But she doesn't hate him.
Besides, Qin has many qualities as a friend.
Many qualities? What qualities?
He's handsome.
If he's handsome, then what am I?
Two different styles.
He's also very talented.
He's an accomplished attorney.
He's talented and handsome. Am I not talented?
About that... I really can't see it.
I'm young!
Shut up.
- Young. - You're embarrassing.
Oh, please. What's the big deal about being young, Xie Xiao Fei?
Fine, fine. Pretend I didn't say that.
I just can't stand how she cares so much about the flowers Qin Tian Yu gave her!
I want Wei Wei to throw those flowers away!
Xie Xiao Fei, how come you still don't understand the situation you're in?
You want those flowers thrown away?
You're already lucky she hasn't thrown you away.
Would she go so far?
My cousin is stubborn as a mule.
You can't butt heads with her.
Here's what. Go home and wait to hear from me.
Can I trust you?
You don't believe in me?
- Fine, then. - Don't, don't.
Sit down. Calm down. Have a seat.
Nobody else knows about my relationship with your sister.
Only you can help me with this.
You're good enough.
How will you thank me later?
Tell me what you want and you'll have it.
Well... I haven't decided yet. I'll tell you later.
All right, enough talking. Deal.
Why aren't you on a date?
Children should stay out of adult business.
Had a fight?
You received flowers from an admirer.
Your boyfriend wants you to throw them away, but you won't.
What is your boyfriend supposed to think?
You know? He told you?
You're usually so smart at work. Why are you such an idiot at love?
Yes, you have nothing to be guilty about regarding Tian Yu.
But think about it.
Xie Xiao Fei will think you have Tian Yu as a backup
Are you two-timing him?
Xie Xiao Fei is the one two-timing!
How do you know that?
Enough. D... Don't stay here. Get out and leave me alone.
I get it now.
You're not angry at Xie Xiao Fei because he wants you to throw the flowers.
It's because you're jealous.
I'm not.
Now add on your sudden ridiculous animosity towards him.
Did you catch him with someone else?
What is he paying you for you to speak up for him?
Nothing. Cut me some slack. I really want to help you two.
He came to me looking so miserable.
It doesn't seem like he has someone on the side.
Anybody could be miserable but him.
It's true.
He's jealous of Tian Yu and pissed out of his mind.
Your relationship is hushed up so he doesn't have anybody to talk to but me.
I even made fun of him.
How did you make fun of him?
I said he wasn't as handsome or talented as Qin
and you don't care about his stinking money.
What was his reaction?
Devastated and inconsolable.
Xie Xiao Fei does have his qualities.
Do you feel sorry for him?
Are you done yet?
Are you done torturing Xie Xiao Fei?
Ms. Zhao.
Sit.
Hello, sir. What would you like to drink?
- Coffee. - Okay, it'll be right out.
I met with Xie Xiao Fei in private a few days ago.
I told him about the predicaments our corporation currently faces.
Business is like war.
It isn't very smart to reveal your hand like that.
Xie Xiao Fei is the enemy, but my brother is a snake.
I would rather ally with the enemy than be friends with a snake.
Hello, sir. Here is your coffee.
Please enjoy.
Since you've already decided, what do you need me for?
Are you angry?
Are things not going well with Tong Wei?
That is a personal matter.
Everybody can see
Tong Wei and Xie Xiao Fei don't have a normal business relationship.
Xie Xiao Fei admires Tong Wei
and Tong Wei likewise treats Xie Xiao Fei differently.
Let me tell you.
Tong Wei couldn't possibly like Xie Xiao Fei.
Mr. Qin, I called you here to help you.
If you keep turning me down though, I won't be able to help you.
You can just let Tong Wei be taken away by Xie Xiao Fei.
Wait.
What did you need to come out here to talk about instead of at home?
Give me a minute. I have to use the restroom.
What are you doing here?
I... I came to apologize.
I'm sorry, Tong Wei. I was wrong.
What did you do wrong? Be clear.
Oh! I shouldn't have asked you to throw away the unscrupulous lawyer's flowers.
I'll buy you better ones in the future.
And?
- There's more? - You do if Tong Wei says you do.
Oh, right, yes.
I did the wrong thing.
You say I was wrong, so I was wrong.
I made mistake upon mistake.
Either way you put it, I was in the wrong.
I made a mistake, so I admit to it.
I admit to it.
Aren't you two annoying?
Xie Xiao Fei, tell us. Do you have another woman on the side?
How can that be possible? Absolutely not.
Tong Wei, you can set your mind at ease now, right?
Wait, you suspected I had another woman?
I'm at the office from day to night. You still don't know who I like?
No matter how busy you were, you still had time to date.
Date whom? Who was I dating besides you?
I'm warning you two. PDA kills relationships.
I'm not superstitious.
I'll show you PDA.
Go away.
What's going on with you and Zhao Chen Xi?
Didn't I tell you? There's nothing going on.
You're mad at me because of this?
Did Xia Shan Shan say something to you?
She said you two were cuddling and nearly kissed.
That's impossible! That absolutely did not happen!
That Xia Shan Shan. I saved her but she tries to drive a wedge between us?
Drive a wedge between us? She doesn't even know about us.
She only told me as gossip. Why would she lie to me?
I swear to you there's nothing between Zhao Chen Xi and I.
I don't even speak to her in private except about work, you know?
You definitely don't know.
Anyway, that's how it is.
If you don't believe me, when I see her from now on
I'll report back to you, okay?
That's not necessary.
Judging from your attitude, you're probably not mad anymore.
Who's mad at you? Let go.
You're not mad anymore?
So can you throw the unscrupulous lawyer's flowers?
Okay, you don't have to.
Since you're not throwing them, give me a kiss.
Don't be mad anymore.
Get in. I'll give you a ride.
What are you doing?
I need to keep a tight watch or some other man might give you flowers.
- You're being paranoid. - It's your fault. Let's go.
Don't be like this. Others will see us being so close.
Right. Whatever you say.
I've already told Tian Yu
to stop giving me gifts that will cause others to misunderstand.
No gifts at all! From anybody!
When I date others, they love nothing more than to cling to me 24 hours a day.
But you make us remain a secret at the office.
Outside of the office, I have to sneak around like a thief.
How is this called dating?
You're dating others?
Who are the others?
O...
It's sunny today. Let's go.
[Zhao Chen Xi]
Hello, Ms. Zhao.
Xiao Fei, just call me Chen Xi.
It's so early. What do you need?
Xiao Fei, when are you coming to get your jacket?
Xiao Fei?
I have to go. Bye.
- Listen to me. - I'm listening.
She wanted me to escort her home but I refused.
She said she was cold so I lent her my jacket.
You're such a gentleman, Xiao Fei.
I did the wrong thing.
You didn't do the wrong thing.
You did good.
I swear I won't meet Zhao Chen Xi in private again.
I'm not that petty. We're all working together anyway.
Keep it up.
Don't be mad. Let's go. Get in the car.
You're not calling Ms. Zhao back?
Manager, Director Zhou wants to see you.
- About what? - I don't know. She doesn't look happy.
Let's go.
What did you want to see me for?
Close the door.
Are you keeping something from me?
No.
You'd best think about it before answering.
What does Director Zhou mean?
Does she know?
That can't be. Xiao Fei and I have kept it under tight wraps.
You...
If you feel I have done something wrong at work
you can point out my mistakes directly.
I can't believe you are still lying to me.
Do you really think nobody knows about you and Xie Xiao Fei?
I've seen you two on the streets and in a car more than once.
I've reminded you numerous times
to be mindful of keeping a distance from Xie Xiao Fei.
You know CAEA will not tolerate employees dating clients.
Tell me. What do you plan on doing?
Director Zhou.
I will be aware of my interactions with Xiao Fei in front of others
and won't let it affect my work.
It won't affect your work?
Do you really think you can hide it well?
You should be glad I am the only one who knows at the moment.
Tong Wei, we are both women. I understand you.
I know you are not the type of woman who
would be attracted by Xie Xiao Fei's family and background.
Among all of CAEA's big shot clients
you only chose Xie Xiao Fei.
That means there must be something distinctive about him.
However, are you certain he will treat this relationship the same way you do?
Xiao Fei is not the typical rich playboy.
Every woman who is in love will think her man is different from all the rest.
All relationships start out beautifully
especially relationships like yours that are forbidden.
It is enticing and even more dangerous.
Tong Wei, do you think that if you are outstanding and rational enough
you can hold it all together?
Have you thought about
the ultimate outcome of this relationship?
Once the case is closed
Xie Xiao Fei returns to America and continues on with his life.
And you?
If your relationship is exposed
you will no longer be able to work at CAEA.
You will be kept away from your dreams and the truth you seek.
Xie Xiao Fei can afford the consequences of this relationship.
What you would have to give up
could be everything you have fought for in the past 10 years.
Don't let down yourself and your family.
Work or love. You can only choose one.
Think about it on your own.
Please give me some time.
I will handle it.
Sure. I'll give you three days.
If you continue on your own way, the company won't do anything to you.
But you won't be on the X-Group case anymore.
Director Zhou, I can keep business and personal matters separate.
I can handle this case professionally.
You don't get a say yet.
Manager, what did Director Zhou speak to you about?
Cui Xi.
Cancel my meetings for the rest of the day.
Okay.
You have to drink this milk tonight.
It's a form of respect towards my body heat!
Hey, I heard her! Can you stop touching her?
You can't see that I'm jealous of him, can you?
We can't be together. We're not right for each other.
I'm a man, you're a woman.
You're beautiful, I'm handsome.
You're intelligent, I'm wise.
From head to toe, left to right, everything is a good match.
What is this called? This is called a perfect match.
I like you.
Are you two dating?
No.
Just admit it! Nothing wrong with that.
Yes, she's my girlfriend.
Isn't it normal for your boyfriend to kiss you?
Xiao Fei is not the typical rich playboy.
Every woman who is in love will think her man is different from all the rest.
Are you certain he will treat this relationship the same way you do?
Work or love. You can only choose one.
Think about it on your own.
What should I do?
- Hello, Tian Yu? - Wei Wei.
Let's watch a performance tonight.
Is there a performance?
- Sorry, I-- - It's not a big show.
There's just a live band at a bar. It's music you enjoy.
I'd like to go but...
But I don't want to give you mixed signals.
I'm also not in a good state. I don't want to go out.
It's almost my birthday. Consider it...
Consider it a gift to an old friend.
Can you?
I helped you find your father's notebook.
You said you were going to thank me. Have you forgotten?
All right, you win. This is the last time.
Okay.
I'll pick you up later. Bye.
Where are you, babe?
Busy?
No.
I'm at home. My aunt and uncle want to see me tonight.
What are you doing now?
Missing you.
What are you listening to that makes you so happy?
It's nothing. A friend.
What do you want?
Let's go. I have a place to show you.
Where to?
You'll know when we get there.
You called to say we had to meet tonight.
Now that I'm here, you're not telling me anything.
Do all businesspeople waste time like this?
Chairman Fei, the good things in life are worth waiting for.
My Chinese isn't good. Can you save the long-winded talk?
Let's go.
Stars shining bright above you.
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you".
Birds singing in a sycamore tree.
Dream a little dream of me.
Say nighty night and kiss me.
Just hold me tight and tell me you miss me.
While I'm alone and blue as can be
dream a little dream of me.
Stars fading but I linger on dear.
Coming here was your important business?
Yes.
An appropriate music event
can increase understanding and improve our relationship
paving a strong foundation for future collaborations.
This is important business.
Wait here for me.
What a coincidence to see you here, Ms. Tong.
Ms. Zhao.
Did you come with your boyfriend?
Hello. Qin Tian Yu.
Hello. Zhao Chen Xi.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
Did you come with a friend?
Xiao Fei!
It's such a coincidence to see Ms. Tong and her boyfriend here.
Boyfriend?
- No-- - Ms. Tong is shy.
Mr. Xie, how are you doing?
It seems you've been doing well in China.
You have the company of a beautiful lady on a holiday.
Xiao Fei, let's sit over there.
It's okay. Relax.
No, Zhao Chen Xi is the opposing party in our negotiation.
I'm just worried about our collaboration.
I understand.
It's not work hours right now.
I hope you can relax.
Enjoy the music, okay?
Here, drink a bit.
Hey, should I call the Fire Department? You're burning with rage.
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you.
But in your dreams, whatever they be
dream a little dream...
Dream a little dream of me.
Thank you so much.
All the people who come for our concert tonight are lovers.
And if you really love, say it loud, let it free.
I want everyone to feel the love tonight at my concert.
And on this special day, we prepared a surprise for everyone.
Our warm staff arranged a cam kiss.
As following, the camera shoots lovers.
When you see the light, then you need to kiss each other.
Come on, guys. Don't be shy!
Wow, so sweet!
Best wishes to you guys!
And the next one?
Wow, such a wonderful couple. You guys match each other very well.
But the boy is just a little bit shy or maybe too excited.
Let's all help him. Let's cheer him on, guys. Are you guys ready?
One, two, three!
Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
Such a brave girl!
That's exactly the courage for love we need.
Let's applaud for her, guys.
Sorry, Tian Yu. I don't feel good. I want to go home now.
I'll take you home.
Wei Wei.
Wait here for me. I'll bring the car over.
That was a misunderstanding just now.
Why were you alone with Qin Tian Yu tonight?
- Is that important? - Yes.
Aren't you with Zhao Chen Xi?
She and I are just normal friends.
Qin Tian Yu and I are also normal friends.
Qin Tian Yu likes you!
Zhao Chen Xi kissed you just now.
I should be the one on your case.
Forget it.
I believe you.
Forget it?
Can you not go out alone with Qin Tian Yu again?
There's really nothing between Zhao Chen Xi and I.
Will you believe me, Tong Wei?
I was wrong.
I shouldn't have come out alone with Zhao Chen Xi
or gotten the wrong idea about you and Qin Tian Yu.
Please forgive me. I was wrong.
Xiao Fei, thank you for giving me a reason to make up my mind.
Let's break up.
What did you say?
I said we should break up.
Hello?
Don't come back yet. Give them another five minutes.
Okay.
Are you sure this will work?
Who can stand watching the one they adore
kiss another in public?
Tong Wei can't possibly like Xie Xiao Fei.
He's the one who won't leave Tong Wei alone.
Whatever you say.
It doesn't matter as long as tonight's act succeeds.
I believe you and Qin Tian Yu haven't done anything.
I'm just jealous, all right?
If you're mad, you can hit me or yell at me
but don't play this kind of joke on me, okay?
I'm not joking with you.
Then why...
Why are you breaking up with me?
If you don't like me being alone with another woman, then okay.
I promise you I won't have a date with another woman again.
Not a date, a meeting.
I want to break up with you not just because of what happened today.
I've been thinking a lot the past two days.
I feel we got together too suddenly.
There are many things we haven't considered.
I think we're not right for each other.
That's why...
Let's leave it at this.
No, no. I don't think it was fast at all.
You haven't decided, but I have.
You want to break up?
I don't agree. No.
Dating requires two people's consent.
But only one person needs to decide to break up.
I'm sorry.
I've already decided to break up with you.
That's it.
Tong Wei.
Tong Wei!
Thank you.
Are you okay?
Why wouldn't I be?
Right.
Let's go.
Wei Wei.
Sleep soon. I'm taking off.
Tian Yu.
What is it?
Don't be so good to me anymore.
It's impossible between the two of us.
I know.
I will continue to work at it.
It's not a matter of how much effort you put in.
I think you either love someone or you don't.
There's no in between.
Was it Xie Xiao Fei who made you realize this?
In what way do I lose to him?
Say something.
I've liked you for so long.
How long have you known each other? Do you know each other well?
I know you better and love you more than he does.
Why won't you give me a chance?
I am very sorry if my past behavior gave you any hope.
I hope there won't be any such misunderstandings between us from now on.
Go to sleep soon.
Wait!
Don't you have anything to say?
One kiss.
A kiss you planted on me yourself.
What do you want me to say?
Do you not feel anything at all?
What do you want me to feel towards you?
I can tell you I've never liked you before.
I won't like you now or in the future!
Am I so unlikable?
On the contrary, you're very likable.
Otherwise, Yang Xiao wouldn't be so hopelessly devoted to you!
How did you know?
My guess was right?
I received news today.
The government intends to support development in Sanya.
There will be government assistance.
If X-Group does not show some sincerity
we may have to choose to invest in the Sanya resort.
Doesn't matter to me.
