[Negotiator]
[Episode 37]
Cai, are you really leaving them to sink or swim?
Nobody else is here.
I'm no longer in the business. Tell me what you really think.
What do you think of the two kids?
I like them from the bottom of my heart.
What are you laughing at? Just say it.
You're a bystander.
You have a different mindset than I do.
If I were you, I could also do them this small favor.
But now...
I have the mindset of marrying off a daughter.
Why do you say that?
Tong Wei's father was my friend.
A very close friend.
Her mother...
You can laugh if you want.
She was once the love of my life.
If I had been more attentive and alert back then
Tong Wei probably wouldn't be so deeply mired in this predicament today.
You're afraid Tong Wei is with the wrong man?
Xie Xiao Fei is a rich playboy from America.
He doesn't have a very good reputation.
I am uneasy about entrusting Tong Wei to him.
So you want to test him?
Test their luck.
You need to see me?
Uncle Cai.
Can I call you that the way Tong Wei does?
You can call me whatever you want.
Don't assume I will grant your requests because you call me Uncle though.
Actually, I did come to ask you for help.
Sit.
Tell me what it is.
Tong Wei has always had a wish.
She wants to go to CAEA Headquarters and work with her idol, Jonathan.
As you know, she is accomplished but young.
In such a large institution as CAEA
if eligibility is determined by seniority...
it might be years until she gets a chance.
That's why...
I'm here to see you because I hope you can help her.
You want me to refer her to Headquarters?
Yes.
You are CAEA's council president. Your words carry a lot of weight.
That's why I'm asking you to help.
Nothing has gone smoothly for her after becoming my girlfriend.
She needs good news to lift her spirits.
You know she is more than qualified for the job.
But has it occurred to you that if she does go to New York
you two will be in different places?
I love her a lot.
I certainly want to be with her every day
but I want her to have a bigger stage on which she can fulfill her dreams.
She is so supportive of me.
I should be just as supportive of her.
I'm not afraid of a long-distance relationship.
I have to warn you, young man.
New York is chock-full of competent people.
If she goes to New York
you might not even have a chance at a long-distance relationship.
That won't happen. You forget I'm from New York.
In terms of looks and talent, nobody can compare to me.
I really don't know what Tong Wei sees in you.
How can you say that?
I'm exceptional. It's normal she would fall for me.
There are tons of women after me.
Anyway, just help her out.
Who is it?
Uncle Cai, it's me.
Did you two plan this?
I didn't!
Do you have a place I can hide?
Come in, come in.
Don't say anything yet. Let me guess.
You want me to support Xie Xiao Fei in X-Group. Right?
You know me.
Sit, sit.
Uncle Cai, I came to show you this.
Xiao Fei has worked on this project for many years.
It's called a native lifestyle resort.
I'm showing you this to tell you
Xiao Fei isn't an ignorant and incompetent hedonist.
Interesting.
But what can this prove?
It proves he can become a quaified heir to the corporation.
He needs time but he needs your support even more.
Tong Wei, it's not that simple.
A small-scale project like this can be done by anybody who is diligent enough.
However, it's not so easy to manage a large corporation like X-Group.
Uncle Cai, you're a key shareholder of X-Group.
You should know that ever since Xiao Fei's uncle assumed control
the business's outlook has been bleak.
I'm sure you don't support him, do you?
But he has experience. He will turn things around sooner or later.
What does Xie Xiao Fei have?
A small project with an uncertain future? That is such child's play.
Xiao Fei is indeed lacking experience
but he is upright, and has dreams and a vision.
Well said. Now that's an accurate assessment of me.
Women are blinded by love.
Uncle Cai.
Tong Wei, you are Bo Xue and Xiao Hui's daughter.
I regard you as my family.
I have to tell you what I truly think.
Someone like Xie Xiao Fei...
He isn't worthy of you.
You've already suffered many hardships with him.
You should end relations with him before it's too late.
I promise I'll introduce you to better men in the future.
Hold on!
Hold it, hold it. What are you saying?
You just stabbed me in the back!
You're a despicable and sneaky old man!
Why are you here?
- We're leaving. Don't talk with him. - Wait.
Think about this carefully, young man.
Once you leave, all the requests you asked of me will be beyond reach.
Drop the pretense. You think you're the only one who can help me?
What did you ask Uncle Cai?
He wants me to refer you to work with Jonathan in New York.
He said this is your dream.
You came to ask a favor for him. He came to ask a favor for you.
That's very touching.
All right, I'll agree.
However, I can only agree to fulfill one of these two requests.
You can decide who I will help.
No need to say anymore. Just help Tong Wei.
I'm just an incompetent and untalented good-for-nothing.
Don't say that.
In this case, we won't trouble you, Uncle Cai.
We'll be leaving.
You really don't need my help?
We do. Help Tong Wei.
No.
Uncle Cai, if there are no improvements in Xiao Fei's career
I won't go to New York on my own.
You don't have faith in him anyway. We won't trouble you.
Goodbye.
Come back here.
Why do you kids have such bad tempers? You get angry so easily.
I can't even make a joke?
Are you saying...
You two are good kids.
Good kids? Are you going to help or--
You're so dumb. You don't understand?
Uncle Cai agrees to help us.
Yes. What can I do?
If she goes to work in New York and you don't follow along
wouldn't you separated lovers be so pitiful?
Don't you have anything better to do at your age than play jokes on us?
Xie Xiao Fei, you have a lot of potential.
I hope you won't let down my trust in you.
Don't let down the trust all of X-Group's employees have in you.
And don't let down the love Tong Wei has for you.
I know. Don't worry, Uncle Cai.
I will not let down anyone.
I won't let down Tong Wei's love for me.
Bo Xue and Xiao Hui, I've tested him for you.
Xiao Fei.
Dad, I've done it.
Uncle Cai supports me.
I already know.
I will sign an agreement with him tomorrow.
I'll be back very soon.
You have to wait for me.
Judgment day is near at hand.
None of them will be able to escape.
Xiao Fei, look at me.
You've gotten skinny.
You've had a hard time.
I am proud of you.
Thank you, Dad.
I love you.
Hello? Why doesn't my password get me into the company's internal network?
Get it fixed right now!
You don't even knock coming in here. Do you not remember who I am?
Mr. Xie, during your time as CEO of this company
there have been some major issues with the accounts.
Well, we would like to understand the situation.
What are you trying to say?
We're hoping you will cooperate.
Don't you for a second think that with Xiao Fei moving up
you'd be able to take me down.
I'm telling you now this company belongs to us!
These documents...
Where did you get them?
You will have to cooperate.
Otherwise, we will be forced to turn you in
along with this proof of embezzlement of public funds.
What do you want to know?
Have you heard your manager is leaving again?
Manager?
You mean Tong Wei?
Leaving? To where?
You don't even know this major gossip?
Tell us.
Our council president is X-Group's mysterious large shareholder.
In Xie Xiao Fei's feud with his uncle
our council president fully backs Xie Xiao Fei.
Xie Xiao Fei has turned the tide and become X-Group's head.
What does this have to do with Tong Wei?
Jiang Ke, are you just acting stupid?
You're the stupid one.
You don't know what relationship she and Xie Xiao Fei have?
The two are so hopelessly in love.
Xie Xiao Fei will return to New York to take over the family business.
Won't your manager be following him?
She's going to New York to be a rich housewife.
Impossible!
Tong Wei isn't the type of person to give up her career for love.
I get it now.
You're hoping Tong Wei will leave so that Xiao Xiang gets to be promoted.
Dream your unrealistic dreams elsewhere. Go, go, go.
If you don't believe me, forget it.
We'll wait and see.
Hold it!
I'm warning you.
You can touch me but you can't touch my cup.
What are you doing? Hands off.
Get it dry-cleaned.
Disinfect! Must disinfect! Horrifying!
Do you have a wet tissue?
What's going on?
Talk. Is Manager Tong leaving?
Manager Tong isn't leaving. She's being transferred to--
So what Hu Di and the others are saying is true?
Cui Xi, how could you lie to us?
She wouldn't let me spread the news to others.
Are we outsiders?
Spill it. What's going on?
This is how you're going to treat me?
I'm not signing it.
Director Zhou, I know think highly of me.
All this time, you've done your utmost to train me.
However, working with Jonathan has always been my dream.
You know that.
You should be happy for me.
You're not leaving right this second, are you? Sit down and talk.
Tong Wei, have you thought about it?
You're not just taking on a different job
but also a different lifestyle.
It's hard to say whether you'll adjust to living over there.
Moreover, Xie Xiao Fei's life will undergo major changes
given his position now.
It's even harder to say whether he will remain who he is now.
Have you considered all this?
I've already made up my mind.
Thank you for your word of advice.
It really hasn't been easy for Xiao Fei and I to be where we are now.
That's why even if we have grueling trials waiting ahead for us
I still want to give it a try.
Tong Wei, I wish you all the best.
Thank you.
Cheers!
Now I understand "sweet are the fruits of labor."
Xie Xiao Fei, you could say I made some contributions.
You understand what I'm implying, right?
What contributions? How come I don't understand what you're saying?
- Are you messing with me again? - Okay, I'll stop.
Call me Bro-in-law first.
Bro-in-law.
See? She's calling me Bro-in-law. What should you be calling me?
I'm the same generation as her so I should call you the same.
Hello, Bro-in-law.
Sis, he's now the head of a big financial group.
You need to kiss up to him or he might dump you later.
Your boyfriend is here. Can't you behave for a bit?
Sis and Bro-in-law, I already know her real side.
I like the real her even more.
You two are so sweet.
All right, enough about this.
My life has gone through ups and downs.
I was able to achieve today's success thanks to everybody here today.
That's why I really want to thank you all
especially my sis-in-law, Tian Tian
and my girlfriend's good friend, Shan Shan.
You want to thank me? I didn't do anything for you.
Of course I have to thank you.
I have to thank you for kicking me when I was at my lowest.
You made me grit my teeth and pull through
and resolve to make a comeback.
You guys all forced it in me.
You sure hold a grudge!
And I'd also like to thank my great housemate, Bi Chen.
And my love rival, the unscrupulous lawyer.
Hey! Unscrupulous?
Do you think I'm afraid of you now that you're more powerful?
Tian Yu, there's always been something I've wanted to say to you.
You're really like a medicinal patch.
I really want to just get rid of. Seriously.
You guys hear that?
If anything happens to me, it was definitely him.
All right, enough joking.
Xiao Fei, things are different for you now.
I hope you will still treat Wei Wei the same as before.
If you treat her poorly, I'll be there to steal her away.
You don't need to lecture me and you won't get the chance.
Medicinal patch.
All right, enough.
Are you done yet, Xie Xiao Fei? I'm starving!
All right, let's drink and eat!
Cheers...
I haven't told you guys yet. Xiao Fei and I are leaving.
I'm going to CAEA Headquarters in New York
to work with Jonathan as a negotiation assistant.
Hold on, Wei Wei. Negotiation assistant?
That's beneath you.
There isn't an opening that's right for her yet.
She's with me, so you don't have to worry.
In less than half a year
I'll make sure there is a place for her in Headquarters.
Don't worry.
Actually, as long as I get to work with Jonathan
I'd be thrilled to be an intern, let alone a negotiation assistant.
It's so sudden. Have you considered this thoroughly, Wei Wei?
Wei Wei, I know I shouldn't say this in front of Xie Xiao Fei
but I hope you can treat this with due consideration.
After all, your family and career are all over here.
Exactly, Sis. Are you giving up everything for this lousy man?
Are you guys done yet?
She'll be living comfortably in New York.
You make it sound as if it'll be such a hardship.
Would I treat her poorly?
She's my wife!
Don't worry, everybody. I've already considered all that.
Xiao Fei and I will be fine. I will also do my best at work.
Don't worry.
All right, in that case, I wish you guys a pleasant journey.
Come back to visit when you have time.
Okay, cheers!
How can you do this to me?
I've been abandoned!
All right, all right.
Tong Wei, you're too much! You didn't even tell us in advance.
This isn't goodbye forever.
Maybe you guys will get the chance to be transferred to the U.S.
We're not that capable.
You can come visit me in the U.S. I'll be your host.
All formalities are completed with CAEA.
If you need anything in New York, we're ready to provide assistance.
Don't worry, Director Zhou. I won't embarrass you.
I'm not worried.
You said you'd be my little walnut's godmother.
You're backing out at the last minute.
Pregnant women are so moody.
Right, little walnut?
I'll be back. Don't cry.
I'll definitely be back to be here for your birth.
I say you should just come give birth in the U.S.
I'll arrange everything for you.
Who wants to go to the U.S.?
Xie Xiao Fei, I'm warning you.
I'll kill you if you dare treat Wei Wei badly.
He wouldn't dare!
Xie Xiao Fei, don't forget about Tian Yu.
He's going to keep tabs on you at all times.
That's right. I won't give up until Wei Wei is married.
What did you say? You should just give up already.
All right, it's getting time. We should get going.
Who are you waiting for?
It's nothing. Uncle and Auntie probably aren't coming.
Let's go.
Tong Wei!
Wei Wei!
You're here!
Silly girl, would we not come to see you off?
We're leaving our eldest daughter to you. You must treat her well.
Don't worry. I've always treated her well.
Tong Wei, you know me. I have a foul mouth but a soft heart.
If things don't go well for you one day, just come home.
You have a home in Shanghai.
Wei Wei, you always knew what you wanted. Now you're going all the way to the U.S.
Your aunt and I will no longer be able to see you when we want.
What are you saying?
You can call me when you miss me. I'll come home.
All right, the plane doesn't wait for anyone. Time to board.
- Okay, go on. - All right, we'll be leaving.
- Bye, everyone. - Goodbye.
I'll miss you guys. Bye!
I'll take the subway.
- You're not heading back to the office? - I am.
Then why are you taking the subway? I'll give you a ride.
What's wrong? Feeling unwell?
Bi Chen, what's wrong?
You said you won't give up until Tong Wei is married.
Is that true?
Is it?
Yes.
Where are you going?
Europe.
I just saw Wei Wei off. You're leaving too?
You're all so heartless.
Come, sit.
Be careful.
Shan Shan, guess what I'm doing in Europe this time.
What else? It must be for your scrap metal business.
Yes, it is business, but it's a major contract.
If I clinch this deal
we'll never have to rely on the Gong family again.
Are you saying if you get this contract
you can be completely free of them?
That's correct.
Then we can get married and hold a grand wedding.
Qi, tell me this isn't a dream!
Of course it isn't! Don't get too excited. You're pregnant.
I'm so happy!
Hold on. Let me get Ms. Hua.
Ms. Hua! Ms. Hua!
Sir?
I might be away for a long while on this trip.
Shan Shan is already eight months pregnant.
You must take very good care of her.
You must make sure all her daily needs are met.
In addition, there must always be someone with her. Okay?
- Don't worry, Sir. - Okay, get back to work.
You'll be gone for so long?
It'll be long but worthwhile.
Rest at home and wait for me. Okay?
Uncle Ou, what's the update?
The car that picked up Xiao Fei has arrived.
Dad, Auntie, we're back.
That's good.
Hello.
Ms. Tong, it's been a long journey.
You must be tired after such a long flight.
Don't keep standing. Come sit.
That's what I was thinking. Come on.
Ms. Tong, did you come to New York for work or leisure?
For nothing at all.
She came to be my wife.
Xiao Fei, Ms. Tong is a guest. Don't be so rude.
Guest? She is for now.
In the future, she'll be my wife.
Can't wait, can you?
Ms. Tong, Xiao Fei was lucky to have your help in China.
The Xie family repays our debts.
If you need anything in New York, don't hesitate to ask.
Please don't say that.
Hui Zhu, take Ms. Tong around New York tomorrow.
I'm not in great health so I won't be able to come along. I'm sorry.
Please don't be so courteous.
Auntie doesn't need to go out with me. I'll be fine on my own.
- Absolutely not. - Enough of the polite talk!
We just got back. We're starving! Get some food ready.
- Right, Uncle Ou? - Okay.
Xiao Fei, these are all your favorite dishes.
Eat more. You've gotten so skinny lately.
I've gotten skinnier?
That must be because she annoyed me.
Xiao Fei.
Don't be so rude.
Ms. Tong, which hotel are you staying in?
I'll have the chauffeur take you there tonight.
She's already here. Why would she stay at a hotel? Of course she'll be--
The hotel... is sending a car to pick me up. Don't worry about it.
That's good.
I'm a bit tired. I'll be calling it a day.
Take your time.
Excuse me.
When did you book a hotel? You're not to go.
Stop talking about it.
- I'll go talk to my dad. - No!
Dad, what did you mean by that?
Sit.
Dad, Tong Wei is my griflriend.
No, wait.
To be precise, she is my fiancee.
That's why I hope you can treat her better
like she's your daughter-in-law.
Do you have something against her?
Ms. Tong is a nice woman. I don't have anything against her.
However, you two shouldn't be together.
She's not suitable to marry into the Xie family.
Why?
You should know the reason even if I don't tell you.
You two are not an appropriate match.
If I had brought home an ordinary girl today
I would be able to understand when you said this to me.
But Tong Wei is no ordinary girl to me.
She is no ordinary girl to the Xie family either.
If not for Tong Wei, I wouldn't have survived in Shanghai.
When you were begging her in the hospital
why didn't you say we weren't an appropriate match?
Now that the company is back in order
and we finally beat the odds to be together
you're telling me we're not an appropriate match?
Do you know what you are? You are ungrateful!
That was then, this is now.
Don't say that to me!
Listen up. I am going to marry Tong Wei!
You have to understand being together will harm yourself and her.
I've already thought about this before.
I'm also prepared.
No matter what happens in the future or whatever obstacles we face
we won't give up on each other.
And if I firmly oppose?
Have you forgotten?
I am now the one who calls the shots.
Every couple hopes to receive their family's blessings.
I'm no exception.
But even if I don't receive them, I won't stop.
If you said that to me a year ago
I might have stood up and slapped you in the face.
But now... You're right.
You're head of the Xie family now.
Xiao Fei, you have to believe me though.
A father will never harm his child.
I believe you will understand this one day.
I'm sorry, Dad. I was a bit impulsive just now.
Don't worry.
Tong Wei and I...
know what to do.
Don't worry about us.
Did you have a fight with your dad?
No. We were just having a casual chat. Don't worry.
Don't deny it.
I know he doesn't want you to be with me.
No, that's not true. Don't make wild guesses.
I can understand.
I did appear quite suddenly to your family.
It's not sudden at all. I already explained to him.
If not for you, I couldn't possibly have regained control of X-Group.
I've also told him definitively.
I'm not being impulsive by being with you.
It's because I truly do love you.
Don't make things hard for him. Don't make life hard for yourself either.
What's hard?
I don't care if he accepts it. I'll say it again.
I want to marry you.
I get to say what kind of woman I want to be with.
Yes, you get the say.
Does that mean you get to fight with your dad?
I didn't.
You can boss me around when it's just the two of us
but not in front of others.
I'm the chairman now. You have to show me some respect.
That'll depend on how well you do.
Why did you book a hotel without telling me?
I actually didn't.
Then why'd you tell my dad--
Can't you see he doesn't want me living here?
Why do you care?
It really isn't too good to stay at your house as soon as I come to New York.
I do want to book a hotel.
You want to book a hotel? Sure.
I'll book the best hotel in New York for you.
Look at you showing off. Come on.
Welcome home, Mrs. Xie.
Your dad said he doesn't want me at your house.
It's all right.
Don't mind so much.
Pay no mind to what he says. I'll talk with him later.
You'll be working in New York soon. How can you stay at a hotel every day?
I don't want your dad to have any complaints about me.
Why are you stalling?
Here. Pretend this place isn't mine.
From now on, I'm the landlord and you're the renter.
I can't afford the rent.
Come here.
My request is super simple.
You don't have to pay me anything but a sweet kiss each day.
I'll stay at a hotel instead.
You're already here. You want to leave?
No way. You're staying here.
Then where will you live?
Of course I'm staying here with you.
You wish.
What? We're dating. What's wrong with living together?
Don't try anything on me.
We'll see.
I'm hungry. Do you have food?
Yes. Check the fridge.
You can't even cook
but you're able to marry into high society.
Seriously.
How many good deeds did you do in your past life
to be able to be with such a remarkable man as me?
- I'll leave, then. I'm going to a hotel. - No, no!
I'm just joking.
Hungry? Try it.
See whether your man's cooking is any good.
We should have a drink today.
Cheers.
To what?
To life.
To New York.
To our love.
To courage.
Cheers.
Do you regret being with me?
Can I entrust the rest of my life to you?
Of course you can.
In my world, you are now the one I love the most.
I won't let anyone take advantage of you.
I will protect you.
In your world
there will no more injustices, jealousy, or humiliation.
There'll only be love.
My love.
I love you.
- Morning. - Morning.
I said you don't have to take me. It's very close. I can just walk.
No way. It's the first day of your dream come true.
I have to show my support with actions.
Anyway, it's just for today. Enjoy it while you can.
I won't drive you again even if you beg me.
I won't want you to.
Get in.
Hi, I'm Tong Wei.
Hi, Wei. Welcome to CAEA Headquarters.
Jonathan is waiting for you in his office
Okay.
Good luck.
Come in.
A surprise.
Hello, I'm Tong Wei from CAEA China Division.
Wow. I didn't realize my new assistant was so gorgeous.
Welcome.
I look forward to working with you.
I'll be your personal assistant starting today
and will do my best to serve your every need.
Really? Well, I can be quite a tyrant at work.
So, in the future, don't cry.
Should we make a bet?
On what?
Whether or not I'll cry.
All right, my beautiful assistant. Here is your first mission.
A menu?
Guang Fu Lou. I hear it's the best dim sum in New York.
I've wanted to try it for a while now, but they have limited service.
They don't deliver.
So, I'd like you to call them now and negotiate
and ask them to deliver the dim sum to me here.
Ready to cry?
That won't be happening.
I'll get going, then.
Okay.
Here's your takeout. Check it out!
Thank you.
Excuse me.
