[Negotiator]
[Episode 36]
Get some rest.
What happened?
She went to Suzhou.
She met Cai Tian Lan.
And then?
Then she learned something very difficult for her to accept.
Her father did commit suicide because he did a wrong deed.
This is a big shock to her.
It's been over 10 years.
Clearing her parents' names
was her only reason and motivation for living.
I'm really worried about her.
Is there anything we can do?
She won't listen to anything I say.
Here's what.
Help her apply for a few days off.
Let's try not to bother or upset her in the next few days.
Wei Wei is very strong. She'll be able to pull through.
I hope so.
You're up.
Are you okay?
I want to be alone.
Go out.
I'm heading to work. Take care of yourself.
Tong Wei is in a very bad state right now.
If it's because she's sad, I can understand that.
She seems like a zombie, staring into space with a blank face.
I'm really worried about her but don't know what to do.
Help me think of something.
The truth about her father is too big of a shock for her.
She needs time to adjust.
Will it be okay to leave her at home alone?
I wanted to stay with her but she kicked me out.
I was afraid of upsetting her so I didn't go back in.
Shan Shan is Tong Wei's close friend.
I suggest you go to her and ask her to talk to Tong Wei.
What do you think?
I'll give it a try.
Coach, I'm so advanced now.
Will I still be fat after I give birth?
How much fat will it be?
Don't worry.
As long as you keep practicing and maintain flexibility
you'll be able to slim down quickly even if you do gain a bit of fat.
You said it.
My goal is to be able to fit into my old pants after I give birth
and get my old figure back.
Okay, let's move on to the next pose.
Here.
Okay.
Shan Shan, there's a man outside saying he has to see you about something urgent.
Who is it?
Be careful.
How come you're here?
Shan Shan.
Wei Wei needs your help.
What happened?
She...
Tell me on the way.
- Tell Xiao Li to bring the car around. - Okay.
Let's go.
Wei Wei! Wei Wei, open the door. It's Shan Shan.
Wei Wei, I'm Shan Shan!
Wei Wei, open the door!
No, no! Be careful for your child!
Don't do this!
- You'll scare her. - Scare her?
She's alone inside. If anything happens, it'll be too late for regrets.
Kick open the door quickly.
Xie Xiao Fei, what are you waiting for? Kick open the door!
Wei Wei, what's wrong?
I'm Shan Shan.
What are you doing?
Who is your pity show for? Say something!
I know you're upset about your parents.
We have to remember the good things.
In other people's eyes...
your parents might have been weak and selfish.
But they weren't bad people.
You've carried this in your heart for over 10 years.
It's time to let go of it.
Okay?
Let go of it.
It's what you told me.
We must still carry on with our lives.
Get out.
I know you're having a hard time.
Cry. Shout and cry.
Or you can hit me.
Hit me and yell at me. Don't keep it inside.
Go out.
Let's go outside. Don't upset her.
I'm not going out!
Tong Wei, what are you doing?
Are you trying to beat me in a misery competition?
Look at me.
Look at how big my tummy is.
But what can I do?
Life still goes on!
Wei Wei.
We've been best friends for so many years.
You were always stronger than me.
How can you be such a weakling this time?
Please.
Get out.
Let's go outside, ma'am.
Ma'am.
Tong Wei, you jerk!
Am I not your friend anymore, jerk?
Ma'am, don't cry. You mustn't get upset. Be careful for your baby.
Calm down.
She can't possibly recover so quickly in her current emotional state.
- You should go home. - Yes, let's leave.
You are upsetting Ms. Tong even more.
Xie Xiao Fei, take good care of her.
If anything happens to her, I'm coming after you.
Don't worry.
Let's go.
Wei Wei.
I won't come in.
I'll stay with you right outside.
I'm not going anywhere.
Xiao Fei, how is Tong Wei?
She can't survive without eating and drinking.
She won't listen to anyone right now.
Keeping watch here is all I can do.
All right, then.
Knock.
Coming!
- Why are you guys here? - Where's my sis?
She hasn't come out in three days.
What? Three days?
How can this be? Has she eaten?
She hasn't eaten? This won't do!
No matter what's happened, she still has to eat!
Bo Wen, go talk to your niece. I'll cook for her.
Auntie, I made porridge.
She better be okay.
Hurry. Something bad will happen if this keeps up.
Tong Wei.
Tong Wei, open up.
Tong Wei, it's your uncle. Open the door!
Let her have some peace.
Peace? Are you an idiot?
She hasn't eaten in three days. She might have fainted inside!
Are you going to be stupid along with her?
I'm afraid of upsetting her.
Something bad could happen!
Wei Wei! Wei Wei, open the door!
Tong Wei, open the door.
Open up!
I'm fine. You should leave.
Tong Wei!
What do you think you're doing?
Come out! Come out!
Sit down!
Eat!
I know you're sad and upset. Are we not?
You lost your parents at the age of 14. Now you're 27.
Your uncle and I spent the last 13 years with you.
Although you can't say we're like your second parents
we've still been taking care of you for 13 years.
We're still like half parents.
How are we to keep living when you are like this?
I know.
We aren't as educated and knowledgeable as your parents.
But our love for you is real.
You lost your job and couldn't come up with living expenses.
Did I press you on that?
You sold the house
and drove your uncle and I to the countryside.
Did we hate you for that?
Look at the way you are now.
You don't want to live anymore?
You completely disregard my and your uncle's feelings!
You don't want to take care of us when we're old, do you?
We are all human and everyone has sympathy.
How can you be so heartless and willful?
You don't care what your uncle and I think!
We are your family too! How can you be like this?
How can you stop eating and give up on living?
Mei Yan.
Tong Wei, I wouldn't call you Sis in the past.
Later on, I realized you do treat me very well.
I think of you as my real sister now.
We know you're unhappy and in a lot of pain.
But can you not court death?
If you choose death, what will my parents do? Who will support them?
I'm such an underachiever. I can't support them.
They need to rely on you.
Wei Wei, nobody is perfect.
It's enough that
we know in our hearts your parents were good people.
Child, why must you make your life so hard for yourself?
Wouldn't your parents be sad seeing you like this?
Thank you.
Go outside first.
Okay. Take your time talking.
Are you okay now?
That's good.
Is there anything else you want to say to me?
I'll be going.
Wait.
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have...
said those things about you.
I shouldn't have broken off ties with you because of your choices.
Wei Wei, you were right.
I am the type of woman who depends on men.
Don't say that.
I know it's because you love Qi.
You're not after his money.
You're just immersed in this love and free yourself from it.
Your current choices are also because of your baby.
Right?
How could you understand?
You never lacked love.
In the past...
In the past, I always thought everything could be perfect.
Including me, my family, and my friends.
I wished everybody was perfect.
That was until I experienced this.
I now know nothing in this world can be perfect.
It's been so many years.
I've been so obsessed with how I could clear my father of his crime.
I always thought he was a good father.
A good husband.
He was a good person.
How could a good person do wrong?
That was until I learned the truth.
I really couldn’t accept it.
I completely broke down.
But you guys...
You guys helped me get back up on my feet little by little.
Wei Wei.
I'm very happy to hear you say that.
The old Wei Wei is back.
No, I should say you're improved.
Shan Shan.
- I'm sorry. - Don't apologize to me.
Just promise me to always be my good friend and never leave me.
I'll be happy with that.
What did you say? The loan wasn't approved?
Didn't you say the application was just a formality?
If we don't get the loan, we can't pay the workers.
Then the resort project will have to be terminated!
Why?
One reason is that it's the end of the year.
There's one more reason.
What? Say it!
Our bank has Ke Wan as a major client.
I get it.
It must be Song Yong playing tricks.
I'm guessing he's still brooding about
you humiliating Chen Xi at the negotiating table.
There's nothing I can do, then. I reap what I sow.
Xiao Fei, I could have asked my dad for help.
But if Song Yong is involved, I don't even have to bother asking.
My dad would never do anything to displease Ke Wan.
I understand.
I'll think of something on my own. Don't worry about it.
Don't panic. We'll figure something out together.
What brings you here?
Dad, did you meddle with the loan?
What loan?
Xie Xiao Fei's loan request was declined by the bank.
Was it by your request?
You think too highly of me.
I don't own the bank. Would they listen to me?
Xie Xiao Fei was turned down for reasons of his own.
I know you want to take revenge for me.
Xiao Fei is unfortunate enough already.
I don't blame him anymore. Can you please give him a break?
Chen Xi.
Keep in mind that you don't represent just yourself.
You also represent Ke Wan.
Xie Xiao Fei humiliated you in front of so many people.
He was clearly out to embarrass Ke Wan.
If I don't teach him a lesson now...
Would he show me any respect?
Dad.
Are you still thinking about him?
I'm not.
You're obsessed with the wrong man.
I'm not!
Then why didn't you accept when Yang Xiao proposed to you?
I just think it's not the right time.
You're still holding on to your delusions about Xie Xiao Fei.
I'm not!
What's wrong with Yang Xiao?
His parents can help Ke Wan break into more fields.
He can help you manage Ke Wan even better.
Most importantly, he likes you. He is devoted to you.
As the young mistress of Ke Wan
no matter what you think or do
you must consider the company's best interests.
Why am I targeting Xie Xiao Fei?
It's because you won't give up on him.
If you and Yang Xiao get married, why would I even bother with him?
Think about that.
Dad.
You're threatening me.
I am guiding you.
For the company and for you.
And if I accept?
If I marry Yang Xiao...
you will let Xie Xiao Fei off?
Of course.
Why would I go out of my way
to make life hard for someone who has nothing to do with us?
Maybe I'll even help him out. That's a possibility.
Okay.
I know what to do.
I care about you.
I wouldn't harm you.
If my boss asks me out to dinner, she must have directives for me.
Tell me.
- Put it on for me. - This...
You are...
- Didn't you propose? - Yes.
- Come on. - You accept?
You have regrets?
How can that be possible? I...
I... I'm so happy.
Then... I'll put it on for you now.
Does it look good?
It's beautiful.
This is all happening so fast. Can I call my parents?
I also hope...
we can have our wedding as soon as possible.
Okay?
Whatever you want.
Okay! I'm going right now.
Xiao Fei, I've done all I can. This is as much as I can help you.
What's so urgent?
The bank suddenly approved the loan.
The bank suddenly approved the loan?
Why?
I heard some news. I don't know if it's related.
Yang Xiao and Chen Xi are engaged.
Is this true?
I'm thinking these two things might be related somehow.
Think about it.
Yang Xiao's parents are
internationally-renowned cosmetic scientists.
Song Yong has always wanted to break into that field.
That's why he's been pushing Chen Xi to marry Yang Xiao.
Are you saying
Chen Xi used her marriage to make an exchange with Song Yong?
That's why Song Yong is letting me off. Is that what you're saying?
These two incidents are both unusual. I can't explain it.
Is she crazy? I have to see her.
Hey, stop! Where are you going?
This concerns her life's happiness!
Then can you marry her?
Instead of making more of a mess, what could you possibly do?
Xiao Fei, you can't give Chen Xi happiness
so why don't you just let her go?
At any rate, Yang Xiao is committed to Chen Xi.
Maybe Chen Xi really will turn out to be happy with him.
Trust me. Don't disrupt her life.
Just accept the help she gave you.
Otherwise, her sacrifice will have been in vain.
Make the turn up ahead and that'll be Haoke Restaurant.
Okay.
Xie Tian You's son is actually working at a restaurant?
I was quite surprised as well.
In my decades in business
I've seen successful entrepreneurs who relied on their family business
and I've seen others squander their parents' money.
But this is the first time I've seen a young man hit rock bottom
and still endure hardships and strengthen his resolve to prepare for a retaliation.
Very good.
But, Lei, I will still need to carefully consider what you told me.
I understand.
Xie Tian You and Xie Tian Cheng are having a family feud.
To outsiders like us, who is in charge of X-Group isn't too important.
You have experienced much in life.
I believe you didn't reach your current position today
by only considering profit.
You flatter me.
Lei, you've put me on such a high pedestal.
Do you not want me to come back down to earth?
No, that's not my intention.
Make your decision after you've met this person. All right?
I absolutely won't interfere.
- Please. - Right.
Mr. Xie.
Human Resources wants us to provide a prediction table
a hiring plan, and a labor cost analysis report.
These are all--
These are all tasks to complete this month.
You also need to provide fresh ideas for hiring.
The rest aren't--
Manager, I'll step out.
Hello? I'm working!
Really?
Wait for me!
I've heard of the changes in X-Group a while ago.
As for your request...
Please give me your support.
I greatly admire your father.
However, at my age, I just want to live the rest of my life in peace.
That's why I hope you can understand my decision.
Young man, I believe as long as you are capable
you can also create your own business empire.
- Uncle Cai? - Tong Wei?
You know each other?
Uncle Cai, you aren't the Tang Mi Cai we've been looking for, are you?
That's right, I am Tang Mi Cai.
Ms. Tong, you know each other?
Uncle Cai is our CAEA council president
as well as a close friend of my deceased parents.
Then you're family. That makes everything easier.
- Uncle Cai, Xiao Fei's family-- - I know.
So you...
I've already made my decision.
Tong Wei, if you and Xiao Fei need any help in your personal lives
don't hesitate to tell me.
As for business matters...
I see no need to be involved.
Do not be overly hasty.
This is a serious matter. Let President Cai think on it.
- Thank you. - I'll be leaving now.
I was wondering why your Cai Tian Lan and my Tang Mi Cai were both so elusive.
Turns out they're the same people.
I didn't expect that either.
What am I going to do?
I finally know...
how you felt when you returned from Suzhou.
Are you all right?
It's just like a marathon.
I keep running fueled by pure willpower.
When I reach the finish line, I realize it was just a mirage.
What's even more terrifying is that after the finish line vanishes...
I don't know what the point of continuing to run is.
Are you giving up?
You saw it.
He's not giving me the slightest chance.
There has to be a way to break through to him.
I'll find it with you.
I can't. I have to lock my door.
I'm going to have a breakdown.
I feel as if the whole world is against me.
Are you mocking me?
I should make you worry for a bit too.
Hello.
Ms. Shang? I am CEO Sun's secretary.
CEO Sun asks if you are free this noon for lunch.
Okay, no problem.
All right. See you at the restaurant downstairs at noon.
Okay.
Why does CEO Sun want to see me?
Why didn't he go to Mr. Qin?
Hello.
Secretary Li, what does CEO Sun want to see me about?
It's good news. Come with me.
This way.
CEO Sun.
Is she here?
Hello, CEO Sun.
Allow me to make introductions.
Situ Zhi Gao.
Zhi Gao, this is Shang Bi Chen
the lawyer with the most potential at Fu Tong.
- Hello. - Please sit.
CEO Sun, since everybody's here, should we serve the food?
Okay. Let's talk while we eat.
Bi Chen, Zhi Gao is my nephew. He's two years older than you.
He graduated from Renmin University's Law School.
He was previously working as an attorney at a public institution.
He is an honest and upstanding man.
There aren't many earnest young men like him nowadays.
I'll have to learn from Teacher Situ's examples.
No, no. We're about the same age. I'm not a teacher either.
Just call me Situ.
Then, Mr. Situ, is there a case you need my help with?
I didn't call you here today to discuss work.
Bi Chen, you were hired by me. I know you very well.
Zhi Gao character speaks for itself.
And his looks, as you can see, are very attractive.
If you two were together, you'd definitely make a stunning pair.
I called you here to meet him without giving you advance notice.
That was a bit rude of me.
However, I think you two are very well-matched.
Why don't you get to know each other first and be friends?
What do you say?
Thank you for the introduction, Uncle.
CEO Sun, I actually...
You have a boyfriend?
No, but...
That's good. I just wanted to make an introduction today.
Just be friends. I'm not forcing you to marry. Don't be so nervous.
Uncle, why don't we tell them to serve the food? I'm a bit hungry.
Sure.
Xiao Li, serve the food!
Okay, no need to see me further.
It was very nice meeting you today.
My hand sweats easily.
- I'm going to go back to work. - Okay.
- Bye. - Bye.
- K... Keep in touch. - Okay, bye.
A human's life is actually very short.
It's only about 30,000 days long.
Mr. Qin, since the day I met you when I was 22 years old
I've already spent over 300 days loving you.
No, wait. Including today, that would be 301 days.
But will anything come of this?
Bi Chen... Can I call you that?
Sure, stupid donkey.
Sorry! I meant to type Mr. Situ.
Sorry, sorry!
It's okay. Stupid Donkey sounds better than Mr. Situ.
Again, I'm sorry, Mr. Situ.
Why don't you just call me Stupid Donkey?
