[Negotiator]
[Episode 30]
Where are you taking me?
You'll know when we get there. Don't ask so many questions.
Why did you bring me here?
Meet you at the top in 15 minutes.
If you're not there...
I'll jump off.
Wait up!
- Xie Xiao Fei, slow down! - Hurry up!
Wait for me!
Xiao Fei, wait for me!
Can you walk faster?
I'm wearing high heels!
Why are you wearing heels to go hiking? Is there...
something wrong with you up here?
Where exactly are you leading me?
We're almost there.
Hurry up. You're so slow.
Do you see?
Xie Tian Cheng, you'll get what you deserve soon enough!
Your turn.
My turn at what?
Cursing whoever you want, like I just did.
There's nobody I want to yell at.
Then say whatever's on your mind.
Please, I drove an hour to get here.
- Okay, wait for it. - Hurry up.
I...
I'm Zhao Chen Xi!
Nobody introduces themselves.
I... I'm so tired!
Why are you tired?
Because of my mom!
Mom, can you stop telling me to be Yang Xiao?
Can you consider my feelings?
Stop forcing me to be with him for the family business!
Keep going.
Yang Xiao, I really don't like you at all!
Whenever I see you looking at me tenderly
I just can't stand it!
- Can't stand it! - Can't stand it!
That's it?
There's more.
What else?
Xie Xiao Fei, you heartbreaker!
You're the worst person in this world!
Why am I in this too? What did I do to deserve this?
Xie Xiao Fei, I hate you!
Sorry, miss. We're closing.
Okay, I'll wait outside.
When your manager left, did he say when he'd be back?
No, he didn't say a word when he left in the afternoon.
You can call him if you need to talk to him.
- Thank you. - Not at all.
Sorry.
I lost my self-control today.
Sorry.
It's really okay for you to lose control in front of me.
You're also human.
It's normal for people to love and hate.
You're not a decoration.
Nobody is perfect.
Actually, if we're talking about perfection...
There aren't many as perfect as me.
I'm rich, have a great body, and am so handsome.
I'm down in the world right now, but what do I have left?
I have the will to fight.
I won't give up.
That is life.
Do you know?
You're the only person in this world I can be myself in front of.
You're also the only one who can make me smile so much.
Chen Xi.
If you don't like Yang Xiao, just reject him outright.
Understand?
It's late. Why don't I give you a ride home?
The bus is here. No need to drive me. The bus is very convenient.
By the way, you have to remember to keep smiling at all times.
Okay? Bye.
Xie Xiao Fei!
Why'd you follow me?
You... You live here?
Shared apartment.
- If you don't mind-- - I mind.
I haven't even finished yet.
Because I know what you want to say.
If I don't mind, you have a mansion you can let me stay in.
That's enough, friend.
Your pity is a bit over the top.
Sorry.
Don't apologize. I should thank you.
You've been helping me so much.
But all I can do is say thank you.
Don't push me away.
Just one minute.
Let me hug you for one minute, please?
Sorry.
I have to go home.
Xiao Fei, you're back.
How come I haven't seen you go on a date with Tong Wei lately?
Her friend ran into some trouble so she's spending time with her.
You seem really interested in us.
No, I'm just asking.
Get some rest soon.
Mom.
It's so late. How come you're not in bed yet?
Where were you?
I went out with Yang Xiao.
Lies.
Yang Xiao just called to ask if you were home.
He couldn't reach you!
What did you say?
What did I say?
I said you were out having a facial.
Were you with that Xie Xiao Fei again?
I was with Xiao Fei.
But we're really just normal friends now.
Zhao Chen Xi, this is the last time.
If I find out you see Xie Xiao Fei again
I will die!
Mom, are you all right?
- Did you hear me? - Yes, I heard you.
Calm down.
You make me so infuriated.
Okay, I'll help you upstairs.
Tong Wei, have you been really busy lately?
I haven't seen you come by to see Xiao Fei.
Yes, I have a friend who's been having some problems.
I'm helping her find a job.
What is it? Do you miss me?
Don't you see me at the office every day?
Or did Xiao Fei say something?
No, no. Xiao Fei absolutely hasn't done anything wrong.
Shang Bi Chen, what are you blurting out?
To think you're a lawyer!
Why can't you keep secrets when it matters?
What did you just say?
I said, uh... Xiao Fei said he misses you.
Come. I'll treat you to a coffee.
Tong Wei.
Tong Wei, don't let your imagination run wild.
I think there must be some misunderstanding.
I know that girl likes Xiao Fei.
You're not afraid she will steal away Xiao Fei?
Yes and no.
What do you mean?
Actually, I've thought about it.
If the one you love doesn't love you one day, that's not scary.
Who can guarantee that love will last a lifetime?
I just don't like the dirty things that occur in relationships.
For example, suspicion, jealousy, deceit, and two-timing.
Xiao Fei isn't like that. I ensure you.
You ensure it?
I believe he's not like that.
That's why I want to find a chance to talk it out with him.
Tong Wei, I really admire you.
I think you're very mature and rational when you handle problems.
Actually, when Xiao Fei and I first started dating
there was a period when I was really worried about what might happen.
Fortunately, we didn't give up on each other when it mattered.
So... I've said so much to you. You should understand what I mean.
Why are you suddenly talking about me?
You've liked Mr. Qin for so long.
Why don't you do something about it?
Because I know the one he likes is you, not me.
Actually, a lot of things aren't what you think.
If you don't give it a try, how do you know you have no chance?
Can I really give it a try?
Of course. Don't leave yourself with regrets.
Bi Chen, it's time to go. You're not leaving yet?
I have an attorney's letter to finish.
Do it at home.
No, I'll finish it here.
Um... Mr. Qin isn't leaving yet?
He's still working.
Okay.
Well, I'm leaving. Go home soon.
- Bye. - Bye.
Mr. Qin, I like you.
That's no good. It's too half-hearted.
Mr. Qin, listen up. I like you.
Too aggressive.
Mr. Qin, there's something very important I have to tell you.
That's too formal.
What do I do?
Whatever. Keep it simple.
Come in.
Do you need something?
Mr. Qin.
Um...
I...
I like you.
Me too.
Like how a brother likes a sister.
Actually, you're very outstanding.
I know I'm not outstanding enough.
If I were as outstanding as Tong Wei
you might like me then.
No.
You're very kind and thoughtful.
You're earnest and hardworking.
You're very considerate.
You know I like Tong Wei, but you've never hated her for it.
You're even willing to help her.
That is an extraordinary magnanimity.
Why would I hate her?
I can't admire her enough.
Bi Chen.
I've always...
wanted to say thank you to you.
Every time I am angry, sad
or in pain
or even when I am drunk...
you are the only one by my side.
If you're willing...
Why don't I be your big brother?
Shang Bi Chen, why are you sad?
It's very normal that your confession failed.
Haven't you considered this outcome?
Mr. Qin is such an outstanding man.
You're not that remarkable.
You have to work hard to make yourself shine.
Shang Bi Chen, work hard!
Here, let me make a toast with tea
in thanks to the two of you for not abandoning me
and saving me and my child from danger.
Cheers, cheers!
This is so hurtful. You didn't host this dinner at my restaurant.
If I went there, would you take my money?
I won't give you a chance to show off in front of Wei Wei.
Eat whatever you want. Loosen your belts and eat to your heart's content.
This is the last meal I'm paying for. I'll be coming to you from now on.
Are you that badly off?
Goodness. Why don't I box up leftovers for you from now on?
Screw you, Xie Xiao Fei!
I really want to know if you really found a job in your current condition.
What company has such nice benefits?
I lied to HR.
What company would hire me in my condition?
I really need a job though.
So, I told them I'm unmarried and most importantly, have no boyfriend.
- All right. - That's right.
You've reminded me.
When my restaurant is hiring
we definitely can't hire someone like you.
Else, once they're hired, we'd have to support them.
Xie Xiao Fei, you've finally revealed your nature as a ruthless capitalist!
Look at how tough my life is!
We're a single mother and child. Don't you have any pity?
Hold on.
There's no point in lying though.
Your tummy isn't showing now. What will you do later?
- Abdominal fluid buildup. - Good idea!
Can you two be more serious?
I can't think about so much.
I can only focus on the present for now, Wei Wei.
All right, if you get fired one day, I'll keep you fed.
No! If I have no place to live, you also...
I'll support you. I'll support you.
- I'm going to marry you! - Can she?
Sure, sure.
I've been busy with Shan Shan's matters lately.
I haven't gone out with you in a long time.
Yes.
Anything interesting happen at the restaurant lately?
It's all right. Just the same.
Nothing you have to say to me?
What do you want me to say to you?
- Then I'll talk. - Go ahead.
Did Zhao Chen Xi see you?
You two seemed to have hugged too.
No, that day-- Let me explain.
Oh, it's true?
Tell me who told you.
Why? Are you going to retaliate?
That's not what I mean. Listen.
She wanted to hug me but I pushed her away.
But when I wasn't paying attention, she hugged me again.
Again, I--
All right. Seeing as it's your first offense, I won't punish you.
- If it happens again... - What will you do?
Take a guess.
So you forgive me?
I wasn't mad to begin with. Am I that petty?
You do seem that petty.
Seriously, we have to be honest with each other.
We have to tell each other everything. Okay?
Okay. Then I should tell you this.
- Actually, we've already... - You've already...
We've already done that.
That... you know, that.
You and Zhao Chen Xi?
Yes.
You! You!
I was just joking!
You believe that? Am I that kind of person?
You're the only one I'll love in my life!
How could you joke about that? You liar!
All right, don’t be mad.
Shan Shan, are you okay?
You threw up?
You're not... pregnant, are you?
No, no such thing.
I was thinking you're quite fast.
You were just hired not too long and you get pregnant? That won't do.
But you'll have to be careful.
If Debbie from Human Resources finds out, you'll be in for a scolding.
That woman...
Zhu Zhu, you really have it wrong.
I've had an upset stomach lately so I'm nauseous all the time.
You said I'm pregnant? I'd like that too.
But I'd need to have a boyfriend first, right?
What? You're so pretty but don't have a boyfriend? Who are you trying to fool?
I think it's strange too.
Here, leave it to me. I'll introduce a guy to you.
I'll leave my happiness in your hands.
Definitely. If you don't have a boyfriend with your looks
you must be socializing all wrong.
Right, right.
It's six o'clock! Time to leave!
Time to leave work.
Dear coworkers, there's a new grilled fish restaurant nearby.
Want to go check it out?
- Okay! - Definitely!
Shan Shan, come with us.
- What's wrong with Shan Shan? - I don't know.
Are you okay?
Shan Shan, are you unwell?
Shan Shan, this is the first team building event
since you joined our team.
It won't be right if you don't attend.
Right, Shan Shan. Listen to me.
You don't have a boyfriend, right?
You can use this chance to get to know the single guys here.
Maybe you'll pick out a good one.
Listen, come with us.
Beautiful, please take away my bachelor status.
How is it any of your business, Gao Yuan?
- Did I include you? - Are you coming?
- Come with us? - Come, come.
Okay.
- Let's head out! - Grilled fish!
Here, let's finish this glass.
Let's try to seal the deal with this big client by the end of the month
pushing our sales up to East China region's number one spot!
- Yes! - Cheers!
Shan Shan, what's going on? You're drinking coconut water?
Get that changed!
I don't know how to drink alcohol.
Beer isn't alcohol. It's like a rinse in the mouth.
- Right! - I get a rash when I drink.
You're in sales but don't know how to drink? Who believes that?
I don't believe it!
Listen, if you don't know how, learn now.
Come on, quickly.
What are you barbarians doing?
You're scaring her!
I'll drink for her. Okay?
The hero rescuing the damsel in distress!
Shan Shan, how are you going to thank him? Show something for it.
- You have to show something for it! - That's right!
Show something for it!
- Thank you. - It's nothing.
Just thank you?
You'll need to kiss him! Right?
- Right! - Definitely!
You're getting more outrageous.
I'm blushing.
Oh, save it.
Everybody knows you'd like nothing more!
Right!
Listen, Gao Yuan, since you drank for her
you'll have to drink all of Shan Shan's beer.
- Here, let's keep going! - Cheers!
Cheers!
Shan Shan, don't take the bus home. I'll flag a cab and take you home.
That's really not necessary. My place is just two bus stops away.
My bus is here. Thank you. I'm going now.
- Bye, Shan Shan! - Bye!
You toad! You're drooling all over your shoes!
Wipe it off.
I'd say it's appropriate to say
the king is willing, but the fairy doesn't dream.
She doesn't feel that way about you. Just give up on her.
What do you know?
There's hope if she doesn't reject me.
But don't you think there's something strange about Xia Shan Shan?
How so?
I can't say for certain but she doesn't talk much.
It feels like she has a lot of secrets.
That goes to show you still haven't learned how to be a woman.
All true women are like that.
Sweet-tempered.
Not like you manly women.
- What? - See?
One word from you makes the earth tremble three times.
You're full of testosterone.
Are we tough women using your lotion or eating your rice?
Gao Yuan! Get back here!
Shan Shan?
It's so late. You came home on your own? You should have taken a cab.
You can tell me if you're having financial problems.
Thank you, Mr. Qi. The bus is great.
There are seats and a night view. It's actually much safer than a cab.
There could be unofficial taxis. That doesn't happen with buses.
Shan Shan, do we need to be so detached from each other?
Mr. Qi, it's quite late.
I need to rest.
Shan Shan! Shan Shan.
It's been so long already.
It's time you forgive me.
Do you think I broke up with you just to throw a fit?
I know I was in the wrong.
But...
I have indeed encountered some problems in my business.
- I need the Gong family's assistance. - Great.
So you understand me?
Qi.
I thank you for telling me the truth.
That kills all hope I have for you.
Shan Shan.
I like you because you're different from the young men I know.
You don't panic in the face of problems and you always speak with composure.
All the big issues are easily solved when brought to you.
In my mind...
you are an unrivaled hero.
There's nothing you can't do.
That's why I didn't mind that you were once married.
For you, I gave up the job I loved at CAEA.
I even agreed to forever stay as your girlfriend.
But this time...
I see you clearly now.
Shan Shan, Shan Shan.
Give me some more time.
I will take care of this problem with Gong Qin. All right?
I already gave you two years to clean up your ties with your ex-wife's family.
But not only did you not handle it
you even continued to lean on their influence to develop your career.
Mr. Qi, I'm not longer the same Xia Shan Shan.
From now on, I won't take part in your affairs anymore.
I just ask that you don't come and bother me again.
Shan Shan.
I'll call the police if I see you again.
I will do it.
Leave.
Qi Ru Hai, leave.
Don't look like you still care about me.
Don't pretend to still have feelings for me.
Qi Ru Hai, why must you still care about me?
Why must you be so good to me?
Xia Shan Shan, don't be so stupid.
Have you forgotten this man was going to buy out your feelings and child?
I held on by a tiny thread.
I held on by just a tiny bit or I'd have gone downstairs and made up with him.
Hang in there. You just need to get over this period.
Don't go back to him.
Don't worry, I won't.
Shan Shan?
Shan Shan, what are you doing here?
Obstetrics?
Oh! You...
I'm here for a friend.
- Hello. Her coworker? - Yes. Hello.
Your friend is pregnant? I can't even tell.
I don't get fat.
I'm just three months along and not showing yet.
Oh.
How come you're here?
I've been hearing ringing in my ears.
I'm guessing I have some inflammation. It's so annoying.
All right, I have to pay. I'll let you two be.
- Bye. - Okay.
How's the little walnut's examination?
Great. It couldn't be more normal.
Who was that just now?
You were so scared.
That was a coworker at my new company.
That was so dangerous. Good thing you were there.
I can't always go with you.
What will you do when you can't keep it under wraps?
Why don't I go talk to my boss?
No, I'll tell them when I can't hide my tummy anymore.
I'll tell them I can keep working even though I'm pregnant.
I'll work until the day before I deliver.
After giving birth and convalescing for a month
I'll be right back.
I have such a wonderful attitude.
They won't give me too hard of a time, right?
Can't you not work?
Even if you can, what about your child?
My little walnut is even tougher than I am.
I just feel like I'm letting her down.
Why?
If I were still with Qi, she wouldn't have to suffer with me.
She would be able to enjoy the best medical attention.
But, now...
You should stop thinking about these things.
Yes, we used to have a very glamorous life
but you weren't necessarily happier than you are now.
That's why material possessions aren't the only standard used to judge life.
Having love in your heart is the best gift you can give her.
I think my little walnut is definitely a girl.
I like girls.
I'll grow out her hair and dress her in short skirts.
In the spring, I'll put her hair into two braids. The cute ones.
We'll catch butterflies in the suburbs.
In the summer, I'll dress her in miniskirts barely covering her butt.
Think about her swinging her chubby little butt.
In the fall, we'll be a bit more poetic.
I'll let her run around on pebbled ground that is covered with fallen leaves.
In the winter, I'll bundle her up like a little dumpling
and have snowball fights with her and I'll definitely win.
I'm just thinking about my time with her.
I'll be her teacher, classmate, and playmate.
I'll watch her grow up day by day.
I hope my little walnut will be a girl with dreams.
She'll be smart, beautiful, and independent.
I'll grow up with her day by day.
When she finally gets married, I'll dissolve into tears.
Isn't that how life will play out?
When did you become so melancholy and moody?
That's how pregnant women are.
Let's both work hard to live well.
Let's do it.
Sorry, Mr. Lei is feeling unwell so he won't be seeing guests today.
Hello, Uncle Cheng. I've tried to see him for seven days straight.
The housekeeper says he is unwell and won't be seeing anyone.
But my sources say
he's seen Xie Xiao Fei and that Chinese woman.
Xiao Fei didn't make much progress after seeing Lei Xiong
so I don't think there's any point to this.
You think?
Who do you think you are?
Chairman, since you don't believe in my abilities
then find someone better qualified.
I'll return to the U.S.
Don't come back yet. There's more I want you to do.
Since Lei Xiong isn't a feasible option
then don't blame me for being ruthless.
Mr. Lei.
- Is he gone? - Yes.
Mr. Lei, there's also news on Tang Mi Cai.
But we need further confirmation.
Should we contact Ms. Tong?
Not yet.
Let's have our confirmation first.
After all, Tang Mi Cai was my client.
I need to ask for his opinion first.
Were you satisfied with your meal?
If there's anything we overlooked, please tell me.
We will make improvements.
- Have a good day. - All right.
We're closed.
I'm not here to eat.
All the more reason you shouldn’t be here.
Xie Tian Cheng wants me to give this to you.
What is it?
Equity transfer agreement.
He said he's giving you a very generous offer
and hopes you will cooperate and sign this agreement.
Then you can tell him to stop dreaming.
Xiao Fei.
Can't you see the reality?
So what if you've found Lei Xiong?
Look at how you are now.
How can you go up against Xie Tian Cheng?
This is a long battle.
I am ready and I won't give up so easily.
Stop acting tough. It's impossible.
Sign this agreement.
At the very least, you and Tong Wei will be able to enjoy your lives.
I'm not in the least bit interested in a life reliant on charity!
Even if I can accept it, Tong Wei definitely won't!
Xiao Fei.
Get out. Don't force me to get physical.
Xie Xiao Fei, do you plan to wait on others for the rest of your life?
So what if I'm waiting on others?
What are you doing? Look at you.
You're just Xie Tian Cheng's dog!
It's for your own good.
Don't try that on me.
I'm relying on my own hard work and living with my head held high.
You're in no position to interfere.
I'm also warning you. Don't let me see you again.
Okay, so you won't consider this for your or Tong Wei's sake
but you should consider it for your mother's sake.
Do you not care about your mother's life either?
What do you mean by that?
Xie Tian Cheng wants me to tell you that if you don't sign this agreement
he will no longer pay your mother's medical fees.
I'm warning you all, if anything happens to my mother
I will not let any of you off!
I will kill him with my own hands!
Your mother's medical treatment
costs X-Group hundreds of thousands of dollars a month.
If you don't sign this agreement
Xie Tian Cheng will no longer cover those expenses.
You're aware of the consequences.
You can beat me and yell at me but that still doesn't solve anything.
Get lost.
I said get lost!
The ball is in your court. It's your choice.
Okay.
Ms. Tong, there is a man downstairs who wants to see you.
- Who is it? - He said his name is Xie Xiao Tian.
I understand.
Have you been well?
Thanks to you, not bad.
Let me say this first.
If you came to persuade me to give up on searching for the shareholder
then I'll say again, I can't do that.
It seems Xiao Fei still hasn't told her about the equity transfer.
This is Xiao Fei's credit card. Please help me give it back to him.
No matter what, he is part of the Xie family.
I won't let him live this kind of life.
Xiao Tian, in truth
Xiao Fei and Xie Tian You are the ones you care most about, right?
What are you saying? I don't understand.
You said you only helped Xie Tian Cheng to take revenge on Xie Tian You
because your mom was being treated unfairly.
But in your heart, you care very much about them.
That's why you used this way to attract their attention. Right?
Don't make wild guesses.
They treated my mom so poorly. I was teaching them a lesson.
Then why would you feel so terrible seeing Xiao Fei in hardship?
It's okay if you made a mistake
but don't keep doing the wrong thing
until we really end up becoming enemies.
