[Only Side by Side with You]
[Episode 19]
The core of appealing to their interests is the willingness to spend money.
Look over there. The muscular type, the lean type.
And there. The bookish type, the passionate type.
They have every type you'd want here.
Actually, you could do worse things to me.
Who are you?
The owner of Lucid Dream? Or an investor of Future Up?
What gives you the right to appear and disappear from my life at will?
I'm yours.
Shi Yue! Shi Yue, you're drunk!
Shi Yue! Shi Yue! Shi Yue!
You're drunk.
You mysteriously disappear for so long
then you decide to show up so early today.
Are you here to exercise your shareholder rights?
To check in on your colleagues? Or to conduct an inspection?
- I came here to... - You're... way too confident.
If it's to exercise shareholder rights, you're just a minority shareholder.
You have the least voting power out of all of us.
Checking in on colleagues... doesn't fit your character profile.
Aren't you the belligerent type?
Stopping by for an inspection makes even less sense.
If you really cared that much, you wouldn't have disappeared for so long.
I remember you said to me once...
that you want to lead this market. Not pander to it.
The fact that a shareholder that comes and goes as he pleases such as you
remembers something I've said is moving.
We're going to the place we first met.
I want you to know who I am.
Ten years, and you never told her you liked her.
I asked you out here today because I want us to fight fairly.
Let's see who Nan Qiao chooses in the end.
Yet I didn't give you the same courtesy back then.
The past is over. Now is the present.
Shi Yue is the one who loves Nan Qiao.
I didn't fall in love with her because of you.
So you shouldn't give her up because of me.
Why are you here?
Did you not leave last night or did you just arrive this morning?
If I didn't leave last night, it means I've got skills.
If I arrived earlier than you this morning, it means I'm more diligent.
The chair you're sitting on, and this table...
And the chopsticks and pot you're eating with...
Your egg, here.
Nan Qiao and I purchased them together.
I might not be their owner, but we're familiar with one another.
That's troubling. You know why?
There's a chance for a guest to turn into an owner.
But if you've been an acquaintance for so long and haven't progressed...
you'll be a stranger soon enough.
One of you refuses to leave, and the other comes uninvited.
Got things to hash out? Mind doing it somewhere else?
I've gotten used to eating in peace.
Then I'm going to take back everything I said when I was drunk.
You think you can take back words that have left your mouth?
So then last night you were just wasted
and I can't take any of what you said seriously.
Would you like me to get down and apologize to your friend?
Shi Yue! Shi Yue, call the cops. They can deal with this.
Let me handle it.
He's already brought it up many times.
It's basically threatening at this point.
I came back this time to tidy up and get to the bottom of things.
Boss, things have been tense lately. Perhaps you should first...
How is the other thing I tasked you with going?
It's settled. Everything has been transferred under Madam's name.
That's good.
Boss, I know you have no choice, but we're all depending on you.
- You can't take this risk! - Do you think I want to?
Who would want to?
My daughter and my own brother are working together to take my company.
You must know.
It's a good thing I have An Ning.
Boss. Chairman Jin still hasn't received his goods.
Where's An Ning?
I don't know what's gotten into Shi Yue, but he cut her off on her way there.
Send men to get the goods back.
Boss, there's something I've been hesitating over.
- Speak. - Our rule is to plan for the worst.
The goods didn't make it, so we can't leave anything behind.
- We have to blow the car up. - Shut your mouth!
What did you just say?
Blow the car up?
Have you gone crazy? She's my damn wife!
I was a little impulsive just now.
You said it. There is no other choice.
Do you know what that means?
No other choice...
means no exceptions.
Shi Yue!
Go!
Boss...
I'm no longer the ignorant An Ning you knew.
I will no longer accept your manipulations.
Shi Yue... was right.
You're finally up! I'll go notify the doctor.
Where is Shi Yue?
Who?
The person who was sent here with me.
You were the only one we brought here.
I'll go get the doctor.
The patient's just woke up. I'm going to get the doctor.
All right.
Hello?
All right.
Understood.
Got it.
You should get some rest.
I remember the first time we met...
you said the same thing.
Yes.
I also said...
that from then on, you were to be solely my An Ning.
Why do I no longer remember?
Can you say it once again?
From this day forth...
you are only my An Ning.
That's right.
I belong solely to you.
But you don't belong solely to me.
An Ning.
An Ning, listen to me.
They have me over a barrel. I have no other solutions.
I can't save you right now.
One of us living... is better than both of us dying.
So you asked me to deliver the goods...
because then if something happened, I could take the blame in your place.
You planned for me to be your backup plan a long time ago, didn't you?
No.
Don't think like that. It's not like that, really.
But this time... you need to help me.
Really.
I promise... I promise that from now on...
You'll live well in my place.
Actually...
Don't worry.
After today, I'll be sure to always donate
to the group home you grew up in, in your name.
You already have it all figured out.
My mistakes...
My crimes...
You've already arranged it all, right?
An Ning.
Listen to me.
If I'm on the outside, I can save you.
But if you're on the outside, can you save me?
You can't. And how would that result? Both of us would die.
If I live, we still have hope.
I understand.
It's better for one person to live... than for both of us to die.
I just want to ask you one question.
Go ahead.
The car.
What about the car?
The bomb in the car...
The explosion...
Tell me.
Tell me that you didn't order them to do those things.
An Ning.
People like me...
don't deserve to be loved.
Why aren't you willing to tell the truth?
Cuff him!
- The recording is fake! I'm innocent! - You wanted to take my life...
and still wanted me to be your scapegoat.
I'm not the ignorant An Ning I used to be.
I will no longer be manipulated by you.
Shi Yue was right.
I should have told the police everything about you a long time ago.
How have you been?
- Well. - Your business?
Also doing well.
I heard you just got back from the border. How were things there?
The same.
- You went to the sentry post. - Yes.
You still can't get over this habit of yours after all these years.
You run to the border every time you have personal things to think through.
What would I need to think through?
This is me.
Welcome to Lucid Dream.
Allow me.
Good wine.
Okay, I got it.
Sure, no problem.
He's dealt with the accident. Don't worry, something just came up.
He told me to send you home first.
Come on.
What is he doing that's taking him so long?
There's a really important guest... I mean client.
He was never able to get a meeting, but he finally got one today.
That's why he went running right over.
Relax, it'll be fine. I'll be sure he makes it up to you
and doesn't make you wait again. Don't forgive him!
I forgot my bag.
Let's... Let's go!
I've been so many places and seen so many people...
but I still think home is the best.
How long do you plan on staying this time?
My company has some things I'd like to hand over to him...
I've watched you from your 20s to your 30s.
I thought you'd have matured.
But you're still incapable of keeping your cool.
What is it?
You want to back out now that you've got a girlfriend?
A man without a career is no good.
How does a person like me have the right to a girlfriend?
That's why they say...
Clothes should be new, but with friends, the older the better.
You were the one who told me that.
I remember you also said to me...
that birds of a feather flock together.
That's how the two of us ended up together.
Have you found that paper?
Yes. It was Chang Jian Xiong.
And in the middle, Nan Qiao. I plan to play this game carefully.
Play?
Do you know who her father is?
- Yes. - Yet you still have the courage?
I'm the same as you were before.
I take whatever good comes my way.
You really haven't changed at all in all the time you've been with me.
But this determination is what I like about you.
Don't lose it.
I used to be impetuous and often caused problems.
I'm different now.
I want to accomplish something serious.
You want to change?
Don't be in such a hurry to leave.
I'll have a huge gift waiting for you in a couple days.
An Ning! You've returned.
If I hadn't, were you planning on bringing the sky down?
Let me explain, Shi Yue, he...
When have you ever had the right to meddle in his business?
This is my last warning.
An Ning.
Sit.
You still resent me for terminating your business?
I wouldn't dare.
You know me the most.
Money needs to be made.
But some things... should never be touched.
But An Ning, you've forgotten one thing.
I'm different from Boss.
If anything were to happen, I would take full responsibility.
I won't let anything happen to you guys.
What I regret most now is that I let Shi Yue take you to America back then.
I should have gone with you.
This is the best outcome.
There's something I've never understood.
Why did you marry that American?
It was necessary.
Shi Yue and I tried to start a clean business in the States...
but we couldn't succeed with no connections in such a foreign place.
But of course, the American was capable.
Why have you returned this time then? You must have a reason.
To make money.
Is that a satisfying reason?
What about us? Is money the only thing between us?
Money...
is the best way in which we are connected.
You don't harbor foolish fantasies if there's too much of it
and you don't become strangers if there's too little of it.
But that isn't the kind of relationship I want.
What about your boss?
He's going to come out of prison one day.
Tai.
Both me right now, and your boss when he gets out...
We both need you.
All right.
Go on, tell me what you need me to do.
You're the only one I trust.
Establish a new company?
- So you intended to... - You know now, that's enough.
Help me supervise the interior decorating.
You know what I like.
Rest assured. I'll get on it right away.
I have a small favor to ask.
In the future, when it's just the two of us...
Can I call you Ning as I used to?
Ning...
What an old nickname.
Now, I'm used to people calling me...
Madam An.
I'll be going then... Madam An.
You were going to give that company to Shi Yue.
Why have you gone with him instead?
It's a gift for Shi Yue. Naturally, I should package it well for him.
Tai is the most suitable choice.
He has never gotten along with Shi Yue.
If he finds out that all this is for Shi Yue, he might...
Shi Yue has been too comfortable as of late.
He needs an opponent to pin him down.
Boss hasn't left prison.
I can't leave yet.
And Shi Yue can't either.
Shi Yue...
If only he understood your hard work.
It's hard to believe that in the end... I was the only thing he gave up.
This isn't the end of your life yet. It's only just begun.
My husband has gone to prison...
but I'm not going to touch a single thing he's left behind.
An Ning.
Everything will be okay.
I've been with him for 11 years and learned only one thing.
Don't ask, don't speak.
Don't think.
That's why...
I won't say anything, and you won't understand anything.
Have you heard this before?
You could know someone for a lifetime and still be strangers.
And you could meet someone once and feel as if you've known them forever.
I just want to forget everything right now.
I want to leave.
I'll go with you.
Why?
Why you?
It's two people each with their own pasts that can start over together.
Will you really leave with me?
We'll start over together.
Where is he?
- Are you drunk and lost again? - I came to steal a meal.
It's not like I know how to cook.
I wasn't trying to get rid of you earlier.
- Who is she? - An old friend.
She's just returned to China, so I'm spending a few days with her...
Touring and the like.
Don't worry. I'll make it up to you.
You don't need to report your activities to me.
It's got nothing to do with me anyways.
Why do I think you sound jealous?
Do you think I'm a teenaged girl, getting jealous over every little thing?
So what you're saying is you don't care.
I don't want to know because I trust you.
You never need to use other people to test me.
I promise you that I won't ever randomly disappear again.
To be honest, I don't need a bunch of sweet talk.
I just want an honest, grounded relationship.
I know.
Then you can start showing it.
I'm off to cook.
An Ning! You should have said you were coming.
I could've gone down to get you.
An Ning, the door is open. You don't need a password.
Shi Yue.
How do you have the time to come to my place today?
Password changed.
This company is Shi Yue's.
Come and see. What do you think?
- Not bad. - Then come and work here in the future.
Lucid Dream is enough for me.
I heard that you invested in Future Up.
That's right.
That company is doing well right now.
It has good rep in the Western marketplace as well.
I'm sure you have faith in my investing ability.
You have no other motives?
One: I can make money. Two: I can get revenge.
Win-win from all sides. It's worth it.
It seems like we've had similar thoughts.
The main focus of Wings is drone production?
If you want to play, you should at least play with our own toys.
Besides...
A closed-loop supply chain sees to maximize resulting profit.
I don't understand that much.
So you intend to take the domestic market from Future Up?
You're too sensitive.
It's a little too early to say that the domestic market is Future Up's...
isn't it?
What I want to say...
is that the domestic drone industry isn't as positive as the reports proclaim.
Future Up has taken three years to get to where they are now.
If you want immediate profit, I recommend against this idea.
I'm not looking for immediate profit from Wings.
It's like you said.
Once we reach a certain age, we decide to get serious.
I want to do something more exciting.
You don't want to support me?
If it's what you've decided, I will definitely support you.
- As for Future Up... - Stay there.
Not only must you stay there, you have to make it huge and successful.
After all, it belongs to us.
Feed it, fatten it up... then swallow it whole.
Only then can you prove that you have good taste.
This way, you wouldn't have gone to Future Up for nothing.
Just consider it...
a huge gift from me now that I've returned.
- What do you think? - I've told you before.
If you want to play, I'll play with you.
If you want to swallow it, that's easy.
It's just that I keep thinking...
You know who her father is. You know her family very well.
There's probably personal dignities involved.
Why aren't you sparing them some dignity?
How do you propose I do that?
Competition within an industry is ordinary.
Besides, the one messing around with the youngest Nan girl is you.
The one going against Future Up is also you.
What does it have to do with me?
