[Only Side by Side with You]
[Episode 29]
Chang Jian Xiong stole my documents.
That's the reason your company has gotten where it is today.
So all of you stepped on my shoulders to get where you are now.
It's you... so I don't believe this is real.
Allow me to inform you then...
this was all a scheme.
The trip to the sea, investing in Future Up...
and that night. All of it are spoils from my war with Chang Jian Xiong.
It's a pity that you aren't an actor.
You're the epitome of a successful businessman in front of me.
Nan Qiao comes, and you turn into a man seeking revenge.
And you also play the part of a man who plays with people's feelings.
I was always a piece of scum that plays with people's feelings.
Aren't you afraid?
Wings is sending us into ruins!
Boss, you can't stand for the other side just because of one man!
I won't let my personal problems because the company's problems.
You know that I never dream.
I only know that if I want something, I have to fight for it.
Boss, we can't go on the interview program!
If we go on as we are right now we're just asking to be obliterated.
Boss, we understand your feelings towards your ex...
but you shouldn't torture yourself just because you've broken up.
Giving them freedom is the best way to handle a rebellious child.
Because the more freedom you give them, the guiltier they feel.
You covered someone's car in mud, you don't call that trouble?
They went to your school!
I was serving justice! Some people deserve to be punished!
If you want to punish someone, you do it to their face.
Sneaking around behind people's backs is embarrassing.
What if she doesn't agree to it?
She will.
She won't pass up an opportunity to step on Nan Qiao.
What are you doing?
You guys have already stabbed Nan Qiao. Are you after Ouyang Qi this time?
Listen up, our Xiao Qi isn't falling for your bullshit.
Forget it Wendy, it's all in the past.
- I'm done here. - Okay.
Thanks.
Hi guys, I'm the talk show host.
This is our script, one for each of you.
You guys can look over the content, times, and general outline.
We're really honored to have you both here.
This is a pretty pointed question.
Do you really think Wings was established to attack Future Up?
President Shi.
As public figures, you have to face the curiosity of the public.
For those of us in this line of work, our job is to ask their questions to you.
Right, President Nan?
I'm fine with it. I can answer anything to do with drones.
Though of course, I'm also curious about the time of Wings' establishment.
I look forward to President Shi's answer.
President Shi, you used to be a shareholder at Future Up.
But you suddenly left them and opened your own company.
The public have been speculating wildly about this.
It's not strange to want to go off on your own after partnering for some time.
My own company's investor became a competitor's CEO overnight.
It kept me up for many nights.
Why, because you didn't want to see him go?
Hardly just that.
I had to reflect on why my company couldn't keep its own people.
President Shi understands technology and investing.
Who would want to lose such a partner?
But lately I've started to get it. He has resources and goals.
Maybe leaving Future Up is the best thing for him.
President Nan, are you being envious?
Envy makes people ugly.
President Shi has a lot of connections.
He works for someone extremely affluent
who is capable of getting a partnership with VIVE within an instant.
Envy could not garner me such abilities.
Future Up grew bit by bit with the help of all our workers.
This is the path we've chosen to take.
What is the point of envying someone else?
As expected, President Nan is a quick-witted heroine.
Our program today is being broadcast live
so you'll still have to look through the outline.
After all, the chemistry of the exchange is important.
You don't have to worry.
We've worked together for so long. Chemistry is inevitable.
Right, have you heard this saying before?
You become like those you're surrounded by.
Then I'll be off. You two can discuss a bit more. I'll see you later.
Bye! Bye, President Nan!
Madam An decided to come visit.
I believe this is our first time meeting. I'm An Ning.
Nan Qiao.
Shi Yue occasionally brings you up.
Now that I've met you, you're more special than I thought.
Thank you for your compliments, and thank you for the flowers.
I've never heard Shi Yue bring you up...
but meeting you today, I also think you're quite special.
You really have a way with words.
It's a pity that your employees didn't inherit it.
But it's fine. Young people establishing startups...
A bit of hot-blooded belligerence is natural.
And there are certainly misunderstandings between Wings and Future Up.
Your colleagues' spontaneous outburst of irrationality is understandable.
I think it's normal for young people to be impulsive. It's a good thing.
Speak frankly, do things straightforwardly.
At least they would never sneak around stabbing people.
As for whether there really are
misconceptions between Wings and Future Up...
We all know.
I'll leave you two to chat. I'm heading into the studio.
Did you come here at this time
because you're afraid our presence will be thwarted by Future Up?
This is Wings' and Future Up's first face-to-face confrontation.
I'm afraid you'll be too soft on her.
I came, therefore I know what I'm doing.
I believe you.
Why have you come back instead of accompanying Shi Yue at the taping?
You've never gambled before, have you?
Placing your bet on the table is a necessity.
Please.
Hello, viewers in the audience and those tuning in live!
Today, we won't be discussing good food, good sceneries, or pretty women.
Instead, we'll be chatting about our extra set of eyes.
Let drones give us the chance to see the world!
We've invited two very influential members of the industry
to answer questions about drones and the drone industry.
Our first guest is President Nan of Future Up.
And here we have President Shi of Wings.
We know that science and technology are at the forefront of startups today.
Many young people have seen success going down this road.
Technologically savvy women such as President Nan however, are still rare.
So for our first question, let's ask President Nan...
What made you choose the drone industry?
This is a good chance. She's good at this question.
If she manages to own the first question, she'll gain the audience's favor.
I've been asked this many times by many people.
I had a brother who was a pilot.
He gave me the dream of flying.
Then, I wondered if drones could be brought into other industries.
Okay. Now that we have President Nan reminiscing about her childhood...
let's ask President Shi the same question.
What made you choose drones
and how do you think this industry will affect people's lives in the future?
That's a very deep question.
Actually, I personally believe
that combining people with technology is not just about coexisting.
Science and technology turn the humanely impossible into possibilities.
They've changed the way we live.
Take for example the combination of VR technology with drone technology.
It breaks the limitations of the human eye.
The higher you stand, the further you can see.
To me, drones are like an extension of the human body.
President Shi's words give us a lot to think about.
All of us here today know that Future Up was established three years ago.
They share the same technological ideas as the newly established Wings.
Originally, we'd believed that combining VR with drones was President Nan's idea.
Was President Shi's words just now a coincidence, or something else?
I won't lie to anyone, I secretly learned from President Nan for many days.
I got all my VR tech inspiration from President Nan.
So the rumor about the apprentice becoming his mentor's opponent is true?
- Yes. - Stealing ideas from her is true?
Yes.
You can't really call it that.
When he was at Future Up, President Shi was a member of our team.
Actually, the inspiration for VR tech came from President Shi.
We've prepared a video for everyone present to watch with us.
This video represents the first time a drone video went viral.
It sparked a passion for the machines in many viewers.
After watching the video, we'll have our guests tell the story of its conception.
Please watch the screen.
Boss, stay strong! Slap him in the face!
Now I know why Xiao Qiao was determined to participate in this.
She wants to use this opportunity to repair Shi Yue's reputation.
She's no longer the Nan Qiao we used to know.
This Xiao Qiao breaks my heart.
Have a seat.
- What would you like to drink? - Anything is fine.
Okay. Now that we have President Nan reminiscing about her childhood...
let's ask President Shi the same question.
Madam An called me here just so we could watch this together?
My most satisfying creation over these years is today's Shi Yue.
The man you cultivated truly is very talented.
It's all thanks to you, Mr. Chang.
If it weren't for you and that paper, I would never have obtained him.
I was young and stupid, so naturally, I made mistakes.
What is it?
Do you plan on disciplining me for Shi Yue's sake?
Don't call it discipline.
That sounds too savage for my liking.
I don't get the insincere business act.
I just know the difference between good and evil.
If he's evil, then I must abhor him.
If he's a friend, then even if he stabs me twice, it's fine.
You are surprisingly loyal to your friends.
I wonder if Ms. Nan Qiao treats you the same way?
I heard this a long time ago.
In love, the one who quietly puts in effort will eventually leave quietly.
Even if your families get along and you're childhood friends...
you can't compete with smoldering passion.
Mr. Chang, aren't you afraid?
Madam An, you must not understand men very well.
Even if this is a rivalry, you have to win honorably
and lose congenially.
Some people like to use underhanded methods...
But neither Shi Yue nor I would go to such lengths.
I'm sure everyone in the audience has seen this video.
Yes!
Have we all tweeted it and shared it with all our friends?
Yes!
I've done so myself.
President Nan, is this one of Future Up's marketing methods?
And if I'm not mistaken, the man in the video is President Shi.
The two of you are clearly a couple in the video.
Why don't you share some of your feelings at the time?
I'd like to ask how we look like a couple.
All the comments online mention your loving expression.
Listen, online comments are never to be trusted.
Those are called brainless fans.
But listen, both of us are professional actors.
That's why we could fool everyone.
Is everyone in the audience a diehard fan of me?
Yes!
Then President Nan, what do you think?
Even though the video looks like the start of a love story...
What I'm telling you today is not a love story.
President Shi.
Combining VR technology with drone technology
is an idea that originated from you.
Having you make it a reality is the right thing to do.
From Future Up's establishment, or actually you could say...
when Future Up was still just a dream...
I'd already unknowingly received inspiration from him.
I've always been really grateful.
I also feel... regret and guilt.
I regret not meeting him earlier and becoming professional partners.
What I feel guilty about is that due to the way our fates collided in the past...
I've caused a lot of difficulties and pain for President Shi.
I'm very sorry.
I really am incredibly sorry.
Those who have been looking forward to Future Up to release a new product...
Allow me to apologize to you all as well.
You've waited long. But please believe this.
Future Up will draw upon their passion for drones and start over.
My dream was never about just me or about a company.
Everyone's love for drones and everyone's decision to invest...
All of this contributes to the drone industry.
So sometimes, our competitors can be our best companions.
Right, President Shi?
- Does it hurt? - A little.
Lend me 50 million. I'll pay you back with 10 percent interest.
You have no car and no house. Your company has no real property.
What would you use as collateral?
How about this? Use yourself as collateral.
Can I?
Have you ever considered flying your drone under the stars?
Right now?
You're afraid your drone can't handle it?
Did you analyst not tell you
that interior hovering technology is the core concept of Future Up's founding?
"I like you so much, kissy kissy!"
The whole thing.
"I like you so much, kissy kissy!"
The trip to the sea, investing in Future Up...
and that night. All of it are spoils of my war with Chang Jian Xiong.
Understand?
Also, any product or idea you come up with from now on...
Wings will destroy them all.
What is it?
Is it difficult for you to watch the person you like apologizing to Shi Yue?
Rather, I'm afraid Madam An finds it difficult to watch the man she likes
receiving an apology from Nan Qiao.
I didn't peg you for the type of person to seek revenge for the smallest things.
Then what about you? What kind of person are you?
You open endless new ventures
and are capable of making them all succeed without a single mishap.
I have no interest in business, yet even I happen to be curious.
How much influence and power must one possess
in order to dominate the business world like that?
I don't blame you for being suspicious.
I've heard countless accusations like this over the years.
It's a very secular way of thinking.
A woman with an incredibly successful career
must have a man helping her, or she's relying on barely legal means.
Then what is it that you rely on?
Persistence.
When I set my eyes on something, I sink my teeth in and don't let go.
Of course, you can think about it another way.
If I have my eyes set on my prey, it can't run even if it has wings.
It seems like Shi Yue picked up a lot of Madam An's expertise over the years.
Unscrupulous, using any means possible to achieve a goal.
I wonder if that's because of you, or if that's his nature to begin with.
Mr. Chang, I believe you've known Shi Yue longer than I have.
Can you not tell?
No wonder you haven't been able to get Ms. Nan Qiao in all these years.
I wonder if it's because your EQ is too low
or if you're really just slow.
I asked you here today because I want to remind you...
Don't let the one you like become my prey.
Otherwise... I'm afraid she might get hurt.
You're as ruthless as the rumors say.
But I have a reminder for you as well.
If you touch anyone you aren't supposed to...
I won't take it lying down.
Straightforward.
We do have an understanding after all.
- Excuse me. - I'll send you off.
Mr. Chang, you've now met me in person.
In the future, if you want to know anything about me
Just ask. You don't need to get your information from the grapevine.
- Should I find someone to watch him? - No.
He'll come find me.
You've met one of your enemies at last.
- It's a good thing. - Why enemy?
He may turn out to be an ally.
Should I keep this from Shi Yue?
No. Let the news out.
When there are two parties fighting, it's usually the third party that wins.
Hao Jie, your name means "good," doesn't it? Isn't that laughable?
Can't blame him. His judgment sucks. He mixed himself up with a crook.
Didn't you guys hear Nan Qiao saying she was grateful towards Shi Yue?
No shit, that's because she's forgiving.
Why are you talking to him? He might steal our secrets again. Come on.
You go ahead. I want to a word with him.
- Hao Jie. - Here!
Nan Qiao is generous and doesn't plan on tangling with petty people.
That's her choice.
But I'm not her.
Anyone who bullies Nan Qiao enters my blacklist forever.
There's no chance to get off it?
No.
What if it turns out that this whole thing is a misunderstanding?
Don't use that as an excuse.
Don't act like some martyr.
Liars don't deserve to be loved.
Xiao Qi! Xiao Qi! I really...
- It's cold. - Xiao An. Xiao An!
Xiao An!
Meeting!
When is Boss coming back? I have a bunch of documents that need signing.
She's probably still getting interviewed right now.
I think we'll have to postpone our meeting.
Who knew that one day we'd have to fight a bunch of journalists
for time to meet with our boss.
That's why they say, if you have the Internet, you have the whole world.
- What do you mean? - Take Kui for example.
He participated in a dating show and got himself a bunch of female fans.
Now Boss. She participates in a live talk show...
and it's a success. Now our tech company is an entertainment company.
I disagree!
If it weren't for Boss giving us a new image on the Internet...
would our company have been able to get past this struggle?
Boss is back. Meeting in ten.
- She's back? - Finally!
When will I be able to become a woman like Boss?
The other side of being able to enjoy fortune is being able to handle pain.
You know, a...
A woman, especially a woman like Boss...
is capable of having a professional discussion with her ex in public, right?
And she can forgive him for betraying her in subtext.
You know what that means?
It means she's let go of him. Which is a good thing.
The Internet is calling her a classic example of an independent woman.
She's capable of both loving and hating an asshole
with her head held high and not a backwards glance.
An independent woman?
An independent woman swallows her pain.
She can't vocalize her suffering and she can't show her tears.
How do those Internet people know how much concealer
she uses to cover her dark eye circles?
I agree with Qin here.
Our boss has no trouble leading a company.
She's bold and can stand up to anything, right?
But as a woman...
What?
So you know, a man can't go for a strong woman.
- You too? - Of course.
I want to marry a gentle, virtuous wife, not a bold but emotionally reserved CEO.
It's not easy being a woman...
Being a woman who succeeds in love and career is even harder.
Speak up if you have something to say. The way you're staring at me is creepy.
I must say, ever since you met Shi Yue...
you've gotten a lot better at dealing with people and the ways of the world.
How can you tell?
If you had criticized Wings on stage as a victim...
that would have made viewers question our vigor.
They would've understood that a tiny new startup managed to destroy us.
But if we attacked Wings head on, we'd fall back into the gossip column
and our product falls into the background.
I just said whatever came to mind.
Your silence really helped turn the tables around for us.
The desire to not fight is exactly the kind of attitude
we need give the media and the people.
All right, stop flattering me. I know now.
Boss.
Let's talk about plans for the future.
I made an outline. I'm sending it to the group, everyone check it out.
Let me know if there are any problems.
You three aren't going to complain about time constraints and workload?
Special attitudes for special times, right?
- It's just 98 pages long. - That's about 30 per person. Not bad.
We've always been a secret five-person team, right?
Of course. We play together and suffer together.
Then I'm going to share my plan with you.
I want... to take a break for a while.
I think you deserve one considering everything that's happened.
Don't worry. We can hold the fort.
Everyone suffered a lot for my problems as well.
So we're all taking a break.
Shouldn't you discuss this with me first?
Company operations isn't just dependent on your word.
I'm not dissolving the company or anything.
Everyone is getting paid leave.
Okay, then we'll listen to Xiao Qiao and have a week to recalibrate ourselves.
That's not what I mean.
Ever since the release of our very first product...
we've all been in this state of constant stress.
We've been constantly putting in overtime for the sake of progress.
Everyone has worked too hard.
Take a decent holiday.
And give me some time to think about the next step for our company.
So everyone is going on leave for an as yet undetermined amount of time.
Are you kidding? Then...
We're supposed to wait until you've thought things through?
And until you do, we're just closed?
Also, public opinion has become positive. We have to take advantage of this moment.
How?
Take back everything that Wings stole from us.
Our creation, our reputation, our dignity.
Sometimes when you care too much about winning or losing
you end up forgetting what actually determines who wins and who loses.
We lost the partnership with VIVE.
Although Shi Yue and Wings played a part, shouldn't we still be reflecting
on why we can't survive without VIVE?
How come a startup that came out of nowhere had the ability
to send our three-year old company into absolute chaos?
What are we relying on in order to maintain presence in the drone industry?
If we don't have a product that is both innovative and can't be replicated...
No matter how long we spend researching, we'll always end up fighting competitors.
We'll always be led around by others.
The purpose of our company isn't to compete with any other company.
We all know that we're here to make passenger drones.
The purpose of which is to bring technology into everyone's daily lives.
To allow drones to make people's lives better and easier.
I've never forgotten any of this.
However, it's been three years.
We've all worked too hard.
Take a good, long break.
I really don't know... what our next step is right now.
Let's brainstorm the future of our company together.
Thanks everyone.
Yeah? What can I help you with?
Wendy, is my gas turned off or is it broken?
- Don't tell me you're cooking? - Yeah.
You haven't cooked in like half a year. Your gas valve is probably shut off.
There's a central gas valve?
Walk into your kitchen...
bend down in front of your stove.
Open the left hand cupboard and do you see the blue valve?
Turn the valve counterclockwise 90 degrees and you're all set.
I found it.
Let me see.
It's working, it's working!
Although... are you sure you want to cook?
Should I call the fire station in advance?
You're so funny. I just don't have time usually.
My food... Listen, I'm going to hang up for now. I've got the fire going.
Get over here. Hey! Stand properly.
Come here.
Why did you lose again?
