[Negotiator]
[Episode 9]
- Coach, can we start now? - Yes.
But I won't be the one training with you today.
You?
Hit me. I can take it.
Take your anger out on me.
You don't deserve to take my punches.
You won't let me touch your things?
I'll touch them anyway.
This crappy pen doesn't even have ink and she stores it like treasure.
- Get off. - Sure.
But you have to forgive me first.
Are you not getting off?
Then put on your seatbelt.
Are you concerned about me?
- Are going to buckle up or not? - Do it for me.
- Xie Xiao Fei. - Okay, okay. I'll buckle up.
I'll do it.
Can you drive slower?
If you're afraid of dying, get off.
I'm not afraid of dying. I'm afraid you will.
I finally meet someone I love and she dies so easily?
I couldn't be born on the same day as you
but I'd be content to die on the same day as you.
Young lady, what are you looking for?
Boss, would you take this?
Young lady, how much do you want to sell this fountain pen for?
It's clearly valuable, an antique.
I'm not selling it low.
State your price.
At least... 2,000 yuan.
Deal.
I'm home. You're still not going to leave?
Uh...
Oh no, my stomach hurts so badly.
I need to use the restroom.
There's a public restroom that way.
Public restroom?
No, I... I need to use your restroom.
You--
Hurry up, will you?
Is it this one?
You live in such a big place by yourself?
Are you using the bathroom?
It hurts even more now.
Can you not stand there? You're distracting me.
You're so fussy.
Go do your own thing. I'll leave when I'm done.
Be quick.
Tong Wei is back.
Wei Wei's back so early today.
Your aunt bought laundry detergent at the supermarket.
Bring out your dirty clothes.
Where's Tian Tian?
Isn't she home?
Didn't she say she has a paper to write? Where has she run off to now?
Tong Wei, what do you need to see Tian Tian for?
She took the fountain pen my dad gave me.
What? That fountain pen?
Don't fret. I'll call her.
Is something wrong with you? Did you hear her clearly?
Tong Wei means to say our daughter is a thief.
You trust her so readily?
Tong Wei, I don't mean to lecture you
but it's a bit presumptuous of you to say
Tian Tian stole when you have no good cause.
Maybe you misplaced your pen.
It's not nice to accuse Tian Tian like this.
Bo Wen, say something.
How boring.
I found this in a restroom in China. You're so popular.
Everybody's here?
Tian Tian, didn't you say you were staying home to write a paper?
Where'd you run off to?
My classmate wanted to meet at the library to do some research.
If there's nothing else, I'm going.
- Hold on. - Tian Tian!
Come here. Where's my fountain pen?
What are you talking about? What fountain pen?
You know what I'm talking about.
Did you take the fountain pen from my room?
Do you know how important it is to me?
Fighting over a pen?
When you come into my room to touch my perfume, makeup, and my clothes,
I don't say a thing.
But you have to give me back my pen.
What are you going on about? Who took your pen?
What would I want a stupid pen for?
Dad, Mom! She's calling your daughter a thief!
- Aren't you going to do anything? - Tong Wei.
You're going too far.
Tian Tian is only 18 years old. How can you accuse her like this?
Bo Wen, say something.
- Wei Wei, why don't I look for-- - That's enough.
How come my phone is--
Yes, why was your phone in my room?
Do you need more evidence?
What were you doing?
You really took her pen? Give it back to her.
I did take it.
I needed to write my paper and my pen ran out of ink
so I borrowed her pen.
Do you need to make a mountain out of a molehill over a stupid pen?
It may be just a stupid pen to you but it's very important to me.
It is a memento my mom and dad left for me.
My mom gave it to my dad on their 10-year wedding anniversary.
Give it back to me right now.
Tian Tian, you fool! If you wanted a pen, I could've bought one for you.
Give it back to her! You hear me?
I sold it.
To whom?
- I don't want to tell you. - You'd better spill it!
I'm not going to say. I sold your precious on purpose.
What are you doing? She's a big girl now! Are you going to hit her?
If she keeps this up, she will become a criminal one day!
You're still coddling her? You've spoiled her!
Me? Why is it me? Ever since she was a kid--
Enough! Stop shouting!
Why did you do this?
Because I hate you.
I hate that you're always on your high horse and putting on airs.
Listen up, Tong Wei. I hate you from head to toe, inside and out!
It's so damn noisy.
You're a real failure.
Where did you come from?
- Yes. - Where did you come from?
This is a client of mine. He came in to use the restroom.
If you're done, please leave. I'm really busy right now.
- You're a fan of Song Ai Li, right? - None of your business.
How about we make a deal?
If you tell me where the pen is
I'll let you have a video call with Song Ai Li.
Do you think I'm an idiot?
Who are you? How could you possibly know her?
Ridiculous.
- Hey. - Hi.
Your Chinese fan wants to video chat with you. Is that okay?
Okay.
Hi, it's nice to meet you.
I am--
Where's the pen?
I'll tell you.
I sold the pen to an antique store owner.
- Bye. - Hey, you--
Store name?
Ming Shi Xuan.
Thank you.
Let me talk to her!
- He's so hateful! - All right, all right.
He lied to me!
This pen is clearly
a handmade and custom-made antique crafted by a skilled artisan!
The craftsmanship is exquisite!
It must have cost a lot to acquire this precious item.
Take a guess.
It had to be at least 18,000 yuan. It's set with diamonds!
It was cheap!
The young lady was no expert and stated a price herself.
It was as good as free!
You got a really good deal there!
You'll make a huge profit if you come across an appreciative buyer.
Definitely.
- This is a rare item. - It's a quality item.
The masters who know how to make these handmade fountain pens
have all retired.
If I sell it, that'd be the last I see of it.
- I can't bear to sell it! - That is true.
Boss.
Can I take a look at that fountain pen?
Miss, you have a good eye.
State your price for this pen.
This is in my private collection and not for sale.
If you like it, you can take a longer look while I hold it.
I really do like this pen.
I sincerely wish to purchase it. Just state your price.
I said it's in my private collection and not for sale.
To be honest, it was originally mine.
A young girl sold it to you, right?
She is my little cousin and is mischievous.
She stole it from me.
This pen is very important to me.
I really hope you can give it back to me. The cost is not an issue.
Are you making up stories? I bought this with my own money.
Now it's mine.
You can look elsewhere.
Boss--
What are you doing? You--
- Calm down first. - How am I supposed to calm down?
No worries. I'll get the pen back for you.
Wait for me outside.
- Tian Tian, open the door! - No!
- Open up! - No, no! I'm not opening the door!
I'll be damned if I don't spank you today!
Enough, enough!
Enough! What are you doing? Tian Tian knows she did the wrong thing.
Tian Tian, don't do this again. I will scold you.
You've spoiled her rotten!
Calm down, calm down. Let it go.
[Qin Tian Yu]
Hello, Tian Tian? What is that photo about?
Tian Yu, I keep seeing my sister with her client.
Tell me where they are right now.
How come he's still not out yet?
The owner won't budge.
How did you get it?
I'll tell you if you beg me.
Fine, I'll tell you.
You taught me with Granny Han's case.
First of all, one must have a sincere and genuine attitude in negotiation.
Second of all, both you and the owner want this pen.
Hence, it's a scarce resource, so there must be an exchange of equal value.
Understand?
You're back again? You haven't given up yet?
Don't, don't.
I don't deserve that, young lad.
I really can't sell this pen.
Boss, I hope you can sympathize with my girlfriend.
This pen was the only wedding anniversary gift
her mother gave to her father.
At the same time, it is the only thing they left behind.
- Left behind? - Yes.
When my girlfriend was 10 years old, she lost her parents to an accident.
This pen was the only thing they left behind for her.
It represents priceless family love.
Since it is so precious, how could it have been brought out and sold so easily?
Her cousin was naughty and secretly sold it to you.
You should still remember that girl, right?
That girl did seem a bit disreputable.
But it's not every day a rare item comes into my possession.
For me to give this up after a few words from you would be...
You seem to really like fountain pens like this.
I happen to have many friends abroad who are collectors.
If you wish, I could have 10 different fountain pens sent to you within a year.
However, you have to do me this favor.
Here is my name and phone number.
If you still have reservations, we can sign a contract.
Okay, okay.
Young man, we antique lovers open a store and call it a business
but personally, what we value most are ties of friendship.
Yes.
You seem to be honest and sincere.
I'm not one to forsake my principles for profit.
You know what I paid for this pen.
Here's what. You can have it back at the price I paid.
You're the one who taught me how to negotiate.
How come you were off your game this time?
These are basics of negotiation.
You're right. I was too impatient.
Normally, I could accept a failed negotiation
but I really wouldn't have been able to accept losing this pen.
Your panicked face was so adorable though.
I was freaking out. How could you laugh at that?
It's nice. That was the first time I saw the real side of you.
It's so much better than your usual artificial smile.
Chairman Fei, it's getting late. I'm going to head home.
I did you such a great service and you're leaving just like this?
I...
Then what do you want?
Give me your heart.
I just gained a newfound respect for you. Don't make me lose it so soon.
All right, fine. You're so not fun.
I nearly took him as my godfather just to get that pen for you.
Now you just walk away from me.
- I'm leaving. - Chairman Fei.
What?
Then why don't I treat you to dinner? You pick the place.
Am I the kind of person that can be appeased with just one dinner?
Then forget it. I'm leaving.
Wait, don't! I'll take it.
Tian Yu, how come you're here?
Tian Tian called me just now and told me everything.
Have you found the pen?
Of course she has! Why do you show up everywhere?
I've found it.
That's good. Let's go now.
- Take your hands off! - Mr. Xie, can you not be so rude?
Who's rude? Is she your girlfriend? Who says you can touch her?
Weren't you going to dinner with me? Let's go.
Chairman Fei helped me get back the pen just now.
Okay.
I know of a nice restaurant.
If you don't mind, I'll take you two there.
I mind, I really mind.
She owes me dinner. Why are you coming along?
Who wants to have dinner with you?
You probably don't know Wei Wei and I have known each other for years.
We've been through a lot together.
It can be said her business is my business.
So, I should also be thankful to the ones she is thankful to.
Really?
I'm asking you if that's the case.
A restaurant Tian Yu recommends should be a nice one.
Fine, you dumb woman.
- Chairman Fei! - Wei Wei, I'll take you home.
Hold it!
Who's letting you go home?
You can't go to dinner with him. You agreed to go to dinner with me.
You can't go. I want to have you all to myself.
Chairman Fei, you likely don't understand what that implies.
Don't lecture me. I want you all to myself!
Tian Yu is my friend after all. This would be rude of us.
You hear that?
Hey, I heard her! Can you stop touching her?
I haven't even touched her yet. Aren't you shameless!
You can't see that I'm jealous of him, can you?
Chairman Fei, I don't understand.
You like Tong Wei, don't you?
Listen up. I also like Tong Wei.
Starting today, you and I are in fair competition.
No, wait. You're no match for me.
I admire your frankness.
You're on.
Can you two stop using me for a joke?
Tian Yu, I've already explained our relationship to you many times.
Chairman Fei, I hope we can maintain a normal business relationship.
Don't talk about this again. I'm leaving now.
- I'll take you home! - No! Neither of you are to follow me!
You like Tong Wei, don't you?
Listen up. I also like Tong Wei.
Starting today, you and I are in fair competition.
Chairman, a call for you.
You're calling me now?
I'll apologize to you.
However, I lost my self-control because you were in the wrong first.
- You-- - What?
Listen, I didn't call to argue with you.
You want me to treat the Ke Wan case seriously.
Okay, I'll do it one on condition.
You're negotiating with me?
Do you not believe I'll send Xiao Tian to replace you right this moment?
I really don't believe you would.
Then try me.
Okay, fine, Dad.
Stop arguing and stop shouting.
One should bear the consequences of his own actions.
Yes, I was the sole reason we lost the first round of negotiations.
It had absolutely nothing to do with the CAEA negotiators.
As long as you let the woman who was in charge of this case back onto the project
I promise you this project will be in the bag
and you definitely won't be disappointed.
Why should I trust you?
Why should you trust me?
You know I never make promises lightly.
If I give you my promise, I absolutely won't let you down.
All right.
I'll give you one last chance.
If you mess this up again, I don't want you coming back.
Just because I didn't support him in his native holiday resort idea
he channeled all his efforts into sabotaging the collaboration with Ke Wan.
Now, he's changed his mind.
Uncle Ou, don't you find that strange?
It is strange indeed.
You knew he resented the Ke Wan project
but you still sent him.
If he is Monkey King, then I am Buddha.
No matter how much trouble he causes, he still can't escape from my clutches.
I still don't understand.
From the start, he was bent on derailing the collaboration.
Why is Xiao Fei now so determined to win?
Uncle Ou.
Have Xiao Tian look into Ms. Tong's background.
You--
Good thing I have fast reflexes.
So many women would be heartbroken if you mar my handsome face.
- What are doing here? - To pursue you.
Shut up.
Isn't it nice to be the envy of so many women?
You're just itching to be beaten up.
As you wish, then.
These are for protection.
I'd be perfectly happy to be beaten up by you.
You really hit me?
You--
You smell good.
Please behave yourself.
You should behave.
We've already hugged and kissed but you still deny me.
Let go!
I can let go but you have to promise to be nicer to me.
Chairman Fei, please let go.
That's more like it.
Where are you going?
Stop following me, Xie Xiao Fei.
We've already kissed. You need to take responsibility of me.
Hey! There are so many people around. Do you have no sense of shame?
I know no shame. I just want you.
What are you doing?
Let go of me! Let go!
Officer! Officer, please keep him away from me.
What's going on? Please show your identification.
- She's my girlfriend. - I don't know him.
- Show your identification. - Don't leave.
Hold it.
Dad, this is what you wanted.
Xiao Tian, from a young man's perspective
what do you think of this Chinese girl?
She's beautiful.
She is unusually pretty.
She has these looks and an impressive resume.
No wonder Xiao Fei would call and ask for a favor for her.
Does he like her?
Xiao Fei even swore to me
he would take the collaboration with Ke Wan seriously.
His only condition was that
this woman be allowed back in charge of the negotiation.
I'm wondering if Xiao Fei has fallen for her.
To all appearances, Xiao Fei's trip is for breaking into the China market
but the actual purpose is...
Xiao Fei's success or failure on this project isn't the the focus.
But since he is willing to treat his work seriously because of this woman
then I will go with the flow and help him along.
I will wait and see how this unfolds.
[Xie Xiao Fei]
- Hello? - What are you up to?
Do you need something, Chairman Fei?
I'm waiting for you downstairs. Hurry on down.
If there's nothing of importance, I'll be hanging up.
What's that? I'm pursuing you. This is an important life matter.
What do you like about me? I'll change it.
I like that you don't like me.
Everybody likes me. That's no fun.
So, if you don't want me to like me, then you should like me.
You must like me.
Chairman Fei, do you need to take a breath now after saying all that?
If there's nothing else, I'm really hanging up now or I'll call the police.
Hold on. I really do have something serious to see you about.
I can't explain it on the phone though. You should come down.
There's something I need you to translate for me. It's urgent.
All right, hold on.
Where are we going?
Didn't you say there's something you want me to translate?
I've already translated it using software.
You lied to me again?
So what if I did?
You're already here. Let's do something else.
I swear this is the last time you'll trick me!
You're so silly. I trick you every day and you still fall for it.
You're so cute.
We're here.
You fell asleep?
When you have your hair brushed back like a parrot when you sleep
it's quite cute.
Quite adorable.
I wonder how it smells.
It smells fragrant.
I wonder how she tastes.
What are you doing?
What were you doing just now?
I smelled you.
You smelled me?
Are you a pervert?
You smell so good but you won't let others smell you?
Crazy pervert!
I... Dang it! You're the pervert!
Why did you park here?
Am I supposed to park in the middle? How are others supposed to pass?
How can you be so selfish?
I nearly fell off the side when I stepped out!
Not my concern.
What did you bring me here for?
You'll know why soon.
Tell me what you see.
I don't see anything.
Do you know what I see?
I see a dream.
Can you be serious?
This is my grandmother's home.
Here?
Your mom is from here?
She was from Suzhou.
When she was in her early twenties, she went to study abroad in America
and then met my father.
They married and had me.
When I was five years old, my mom brought me to Suzhou for the first time.
Call her Grandma.
- Grandma. - Grandma.
My good grandson! Come inside quickly.
Come, let me get that.
Come on in.
Grandma, what are you doing?
I'm frying crispy rice for you.
Come, come.
I'll feed you.
Here, open your mouth.
Do you like it?
It's good. I want more.
Okay, there's plenty.
Take your time eating.
Where are the crabs?
I caught a crab! I caught a crab!
Grandma! Grandma!
Grandma, quick!
You caught a crab? You're amazing!
I'll cook it for you later.
Look at you! Your face is so dirty.
Let me wipe that off for you.
The few days I was in Suzhou gave me joy that I never experienced in the U.S.
When I returned, I fell terribly ill.
The doctor said I had a bacterial infection from poor hygiene.
My mom was very angry after hearing that and never brought me back here.
My grandma passed away later on.
The experiences I had when I was five years old
became the most beautiful memories of my life.
It was then that an idea began to blossom in my mind.
I want to build a native holiday resort here in memory of my grandma.
Native holiday resort?
X-Group's 18 Secrets is very luxurious
but it lacks the feeling of human warmth and love.
Even with high-end facilities or superior service
if there's no love, then it is no different from a wasteland to me.
That’s why I want to create a resort that is full of love.
It may be simple, but it'll have warmth.
That's what you truly think?
What are you laughing for? Is it funny?
No, I think your dream is amazing.
Really?
Yes. At least, I'm touched.
If you do build the resort, I want to be the first customer.
Unfortunately, there isn't much hope.
What's the matter?
I spent two years and all of my resources
and finally convinced the previous owner to sell this land to me.
However, my dad secretly sold the land.
Sold it? Why?
Because they never believe I can be someone with a vision.
They never respect my dreams.
Even if they voice their encouragement
they secretly think I am a worthless prodigal son who squanders my time.
However, you're different.
You're the first to support me.
So, even if this dream cannot come true, I am happy enough hearing your words.
No wonder.
So, you deliberately sabotaged first-round negotiations with Ke Wan
to retaliate against your dad.
So now that you understand the whole story, can you forgive me?
Do it on account of my talent.
You're all smiles. It doesn't affect you at all.
What would frowning help? Tell me.
Even if I'm disappointed, life still goes on.
Mr. Song wants to see me?
Aren't you honored? I've put in many a good word for you.
You're too nervous. Relax. Don't make a fool of yourself later.
You completed the Sanya project without saying anything to me?
Being so helpful, you don't seem like my son.
Dad, what are you saying? Like father, like son.
I still have much to learn from you.
How come he's here?
What's the matter?
This brother of mine was dating a young Internet celebrity a while ago.
The girl got into trouble and he was also implicated.
My dad was so furious that he kicked my brother off the project with X-Group.
Please come in.
Dad, don't worry. Marketing of the Sanya project--
Dad.
Chen Xi, come.
You look happy today.
How can I not be happy when I see you?
Let me make an introduction.
This is Qin Tian Yu of Fu Tong Law Firm
who is working with us on our negotiations with X-Group.
Mr. Song.
Pleased to meet you. I've heard much about you.
Mr. Qin, this project is in your hands.
Of course.
- All right, sit. - Okay.
Thank you.
Pour the wine.
Mr. Qin, is it?
Dad, speaking of Chen Xi's project, have you heard?
What?
Never mind. We're having a good time. Let's not spoil the mood.
If there's something, just say it.
Hao Jie, what do you mean by that?
- Dad, let me report to you. - Go ahead.
In the first round of negotiations, we gained an overwhelming victory.
CAEA has replaced the negotiator representing X-Group.
That is true.
But just last night, that negotiator was urgently called back on.
That's not a good sign.
What's going on?
It's not because something went wrong with the negotiation, is it?
The opponent is going to and fro. That means they are no longer confident.
Dad, don't worry.
No matter which negotiator they use, everything is within my control.
Good. Let's drink.
Chen Xi, if you run into any issues on the project
you can ask your brother for advice.
He is your senior.
- Cheers, Mr. Qin. - Come, let's drink.
What's going on? Why is Tong Wei back?
I don't know either.
- But... - But what?
It's nothing.
This is such important news and you didn't know about it.
But Song Hao Jie found out.
He sure is considerate.
It seems he is determined to muscle his way in.
Don't fret. I will find out.
Listen up. I must win this project.
Do not let my jackass brother sink his teeth into this. Understand?
Of course.
I'll handle Xie Xiao Fei.
You're in charge of handling Tong Wei.
I want a complete victory on this project.
