TEN YEARS LATE
Episode 19
How are your weekends?
Like always.
Watched a movie with my family
and had hotpot.
Hotpot again?
I think the hotpot is
in your veins now.
You? Shuangshuang.
I saw it in your WeChat Moment.
You went to a party or what.
The world is like a changing scene.
It’s lucky to have him beside me.
Look at the photos here.
And it’s at night.
On a balcony.
There are two glasses of wine.
Tell us about it.
Last night, did you...
- What is it? - What is it?
Boss, boss,
come on and have some.
You carry on.
Shuangshuang, go on with it.
Who is he?
What does he do?
Do you have his photos?
No photos.
We met in a party.
He’s my friend’s colleague in school abroad.
A rich guy back from abroad?
Not really.
But I heard that his father has
8 companies nationwide.
Oh my God!
Shuangshuang.
He must be perfect with you.
- I’m so jealous. - I envy you.
You’re too young.
Your parents should be worried.
Rich men to such parties are
mostly playboys.
They just want to play with
innocent girls like you.
The night view at balcony,
glasses of wine,
and 8 companies?
Maybe it’s 8 overdraft credit cards.
Do you believe it?
It’s modern time now. Don’t be so traditional.
It’s just a party.
And they’re not playboys.
Stop calling them playing with girls.
And the overdraft credit cards.
They may charge you of defamation.
Boss,
what are you talking about?
You’re a chat killer.
Are you done here?
Yeah. Yeah.
Let's go. Let's go.
Defamation?
You stay here
to get these contracts ready.
The clients are in urgent need.
Did you hear what I said?
I’ve amended the contract
and sent them to the clients.
Darling, I’m coming.
In a moment.
Bye-bye.
It’s cold.
Get more clothes.
Let's go.
OK.
Hello?
Well,
where do you put Yage’s files?
I gave them to you.
I’m asking where you put them.
Please, I put them on your desk.
Look for it closer, OK? Bye.
Who is it?
A nasty man.
He was so shocked.
You should look at his face.
It's just like Jin Ran’s now.
What are you talking? Who are you laughing at?
I’m coming. I’m coming.
Come, Shuangshuang, give it to me.
Shuangshuang.
Here.
Aren’t you going out with that playboy?
I asked him to pick up the cake with me, OK?
Why don’t you get it by yourself?
I didn’t ask you to get it for me.
What did you say?
Zhao Chengzhi, move over.
Shuangshuang is one of us now.
Don’t you bully her.
I bully her?
She’s driving me crazy.
I’d thank god to get her away.
Come on. Take seats.
I’m telling you.
Now I know
what it means by
the new generation is surpassing the old.
Stop it.
It’s Jin Ran’s birthday. Don't make whammy remarks.
All right.
All right. My fool mates. Take a seat.
Wait a moment. Make a wish.
Happy birthday to you!
I hope
I can spend each birthday
with the most important friends of mine
from now on.
It’s a gift from Xinyi and me.
Open it when you get back. This is from me.
Happy birthday. Heath forever.
Same for each year.
Happy birthday!
Thank you.
Yuan Lai, what’s your gift?
Here you are.
What is it?
Open it. Open it.
Jin Ran.
There you are.
What brings you here?
I asked Gu Sa over
to our party here.
OK, let me introduce
Gu Sa.
Jin Ran and her are friends back in Japan.
Hello.
I bring a bottle of champagne to you.
Thank you.
The more, the merrier. Take a seat.
Here.
Don't stand there.
Open it.
I’m opening it.
Yuan Lai,
you know Jin Ran well.
Of course I do.
You like it?
Very much.
Come on. Kiss her.
I’ll take a photo for you.
1, 2, 3.
Since you’re all here today,
come on, a photo for you. To remember the happy reunion.
Come on. Gather around. Photo hour.
Thanks, Gu Yang.
You?
It’s OK. You guys take the photo.
OK, make your poses.
1, 2, 3.
Say cheese.
OK. Carry on.
Thanks, Gu Yang.
Hi.
Sit.
I guess
you’re Xu Xinyi.
Jin Ran talked about you with me.
Really?
You must be very close.
We’re old-time friends.
But not as close as you guys.
Well,
are you colleagues in work?
We were
partners in business, I think.
So you come back
for work?
Not all for work.
There are some personal matters, too.
Come with me.
What's wrong?
I’m telling you.
Something is wrong about Gu Sa.
You mean I should keep an eye on her?
I don’t know how.
I was chatting with her.
I have feeling that she’s hiding something.
Whatever.
They had their past.
But what I care about is
the future I’m going to share with Jin Ran.
Don’t you think she comes back
and gets close to you on other purposes?
I trust Jin Ran.
Besides,
I have confidence in myself.
OK.
Maybe I’m being suspicious.
Hello, dear!
Would you like to have a drink?
Me?
Yes.
Why me?
I don’t know. Just...
Beautiful?
Yes.
Really?
Yeah.
OK.
Shuangshuang is popular.
A foreign guy?
That guy doesn’t
look like a decent man.
Bad taste.
Are you jealous?
Jealous of her?
You are kidding me.
Chengzhi, you’re raging.
Chengzhi!
What brings you here?
Sorry to make you feel awkward.
It's your birthday.
I want to give you a surprise.
But I regret to come now.
I think I disturb your party with friends.
I’m so sorry.
They're the closest friends back in college.
We’re mad together.
I hope you don’t mind.
Of course not.
I’m glad to see
you’re so happy.
I think
I made a right decision back then.
Well,
including the decision on me?
I mean the cooperation with me.
Sure.
Well,
go back and have fun.
Keep the champagne.
I’m gonna go now.
See you. Let’s make next time.
What is it?
Hiding here alone.
It’s stuffed in there.
I want to get some air.
Really?
Thank you for the nice watch you give me.
For all these years,
you’re the one who knows me most.
Sports watch and mechanical watch,
which one do you prefer?
I like both.
Who said I can only have one watch?
Let's say you can only have one of them.
Well,
I choose the sports watch.
Because...
To me,
it’s not just a watch.
What is it then?
It’s a gift from you.
Silly girl.
Today is the happiest
birthday I’ve ever had.
Then I’ll be here with you
each year on your birthday, OK?
No.
I hope
you can be with me
everyday from now on.
Alright?
OK.
Xinyi, congratulations!
You’re the first again.
I heard that there’s a vacancy for the Vice Director in Shanghai.
It must be yours.
Me?
Yeah.
In this case, you won’t have to travel around.
Even you’re carrying a baby,
you can still manage the job.
I don’t know about it.
I’ll follow the company’s arrangement.
It must be yours.
You’re the first each time.
Don’t forget to give us a hand then.
OK.
OK, let’s get started.
Our company
overcomes the obstacles
due to new investment.
SN has withdrawn the lawyer’s notice.
But due to this incident,
our image is severely damaged.
So I hope we can build up our image
as soon as possible.
But don’t be worried.
Let’s have a brainstorm.
We'll find a way.
How about charity?
In terms of building image,
charity is the best solution.
I like this idea.
But it depends on what it is.
Charity is a good idea.
But if we simply go to charity,
it’s hard to show
our company’s core competitiveness.
We can carry out a sapling plan.
We shall take a small amount
from each customer’s payment
for the restoration of woods in desert.
On the one hand,
we can use the local tourism administration’s resources
to expand brand image.
On the other hand,
we can promote tourists
experience in the journey.
OK, then.
Yuan Lai, Lisa.
Both of you
and your groups
prepare a proposal.
Time is pressing.
Show me your proposals tomorrow.
No problem.
Honey, you’re up so early.
Honey.
Come on. Take a seat.
You can’t be playing all night.
I’m just
teaching them combat tactics.
I’ll send you to work later.
When I came back,
I’ll take a nap.
It’s bad fetal education
if you keep staying up at night and sleeping in the day..
The baby is as small as a bean now.
It’s OK.
Come on. Have breakfast.
OK.
I think you don’t allow me to eat chili sauce.
It’s to celebrate your promotion.
Only for once.
Who celebrate with chili sauce?
No sincerity.
Besides,
I’m pregnant, OK?
I know you are.
Do you know how many places I went to
to get these sauces?
They don’t have antiseptics.
Don’t you believe me?
Let me eat first.
I’m sincere to you now, OK?
See, very sincere.
I’m telling you.
As long as you have appetite,
we’ll take all the snacks of Shanghai.
I’m sorry.
Today, I have an appointment with Yuan Lai.
Honey.
Bring me along.
I’ll pay the bills for you.
I’m sorry.
Your baby’s mother has plans today.
OK.
Tonight,
it’s chili sauces dinner for me.
Let me drown in chili sauces.
One more.
Is it nice, honey?
Isn’t it spicy?
One more then.
No, I can’t.
Shuangshuang.
You have gifts.
They are so beautiful.
You’re so lucky in love.
Is it the same person
with the one last time?
Not just flowers.
There are skin cares, too.
So sweet.
Do you agree?
Yes.
I told him
not to send things to the office.
I don’t like to draw your attention.
I’m jealous.
Me, too.
People like us
can only live on our salaries.
Don't look at me.
What’s the smell?
It’s not so bad.
No flowers in the office from now on.
Put the flowers away.
Why?
Because I’m the boss here.
Listen up.
I make the rules.
I said no flowers.
So no flowers.
You...
The key of our proposal is to
highlight the role of human behavior in environmental protection
and to promote each one of us
in the company to take the initiative.
A small step of each individual
adds up a leap-forward in environmental protection.
So the customers will buy our products
to make contributions to the world environment.
This is our proposal.
Our proposal is
quite the opposite of Lisa’s.
We stress the importance of environment to human.
In the route we planned,
sapling is just a stunt.
The real purpose is to
promote our new tourist route.
In the northwest China,
there are a lot of beautiful
natural scenery being reserved well.
However, beyond the reserves,
large areas of woods and forests are destroyed
by desertification.
Tourists can see it clearly in contrast
from the publication posters.
It’s easy to promote them to take the initiative
and pay for our sapling program.
I object.
Put photos of polluted areas on the poster
will cause negative effect
on the purchase behaviors.
On the first look,
they might think it’s one of our routes.
Don’t you think they may
be curious about our routes?
Don’t you think the mysterious deserts
will attract them
to buy our products?
Congratulations, Yuan Lai.
We all agree on your proposal.
Why don’t we call it Green Path Plan.
Yuan Lai.
Come with me to Lin Shan’s workshop.
Now?
Yes.
Is there a problem?
I want to improve the proposal.
Lin Shan from Ministry of Public Welfare of Guoben.
is the major figure to promote our program.
All right. I’ll get prepared.
OK.
I have a call. You go first.
OK.
Hello?
Hi.
OK.
It’s OK.
Daddy, I miss you so much.
You’re not here. I have no one to play with.
Miss Lin called just now.
She said she’s occupied now and can’t come over.
Let's come back tomorrow.
Yuan Lai.
Whatever happens,
I don’t want it to impact your work.
Where are you?
Let’s have lunch together.
I’m with Mr. Ji now.
I have many things to do.
I’m gonna go now.
I heard that Li Jing withdrew the lawyer’s notice.
And the company has a new investor.
That’s it?
What do you want to hear?
Nothing.
I miss you.
Yuan Lai.
What happened?
It’s working hour.
I have work to do.
Let’s go. Let me give you a lift.
I’m OK.
The company is nearby.
No need for a lift.
Yuan Lai, what’s wrong?
Can you tell me please?
You’ve been asking me to tell you everything.
What about you?
Were you simply partners in business with Gu Sa?
What did you hear?
Didn’t she tell you everything
about us last time?
So
it's true that you and Gu Sa
were married?
The relationship between me and Gu Sa
is not like that.
I did have a
legal marriage with her once.
But that's just for the custody of the child.
Why didn’t you tell me about it?
How many times have I asked you
about things happened in the 5 years?
Why didn’t you tell me about it?
Why?
I don’t want to hide it from you.
Last time when we had dinner together,
I was going to tell you.
But you played like
you already knew it.
So I didn't
have an opportunity to tell you.
Yuan Lai, wait.
It’s not like that.
Let me explain, OK?
Let me go.
I don’t want to.
I want to talk with you.
There’s nothing to talk about.
I want to stay alone.
Jin Ran.
You’re so strange to me. It scares me.
You know?
How many secrets do you keep from me?
How can I trust you?
You're different now.
So am I.
We need to think about
the relation between us.
I wake up in the midnight
It’s you in my dream
Memories flash back
I wish
You could talk to me again
Now they’re all gone
We are the scenery
No way to hide the loneliness
Be unknown in the city
It's undeniable
The heart of the lover
Can't be earned by endless sacrifice
The self-contemptuous deserter
Regretful and everything goes to zero
When we loss it
We learn to introspect
Deceive ourselves
How painful the heart is hurt
How steadfast it gets
For the affection
Though we are hurt by it
We go regardless perils
Desire to excel over others
We wanna find the cure
Don't resort to petty tricks
Love has no win or lose
You call us out for boxing in the midnight.
Something unpleasant must happen.
Right?
Don’t be so aggressive.
Gu Sa is my ex-wife.
How could you do this to Yuan Lai?
You bastard!
Enough, both of you.
Enough.
Can you please calm down?
Chengzhi!
Stay calm.
Bastard.
OK.
I admit that
I hurt her.
But I was timid.
I didn’t tell her the truth.
We’re not over
until we solve it.
Let’s settle it directly.
Old rules.
If I win,
you apologize to me immediately.
What if I lose?
If you lose,
stay away from Yuan Lai.
One more round.
I don’t believe I can’t win you.
We’re not done yet.
It’s too early to tell who is winning.
The days ten years ago
are so far away from us.
Like a century away.
If we could meet again
What should I say to impress you
I used to feel tired
Time.
Time changes too many things.
Not time.
It’s ourselves.
I’m waiting for a chance
I won’t quit
This time I won’t hold back
Whatever.
Today I just want to go back to ten years ago.
What are you doing?
Hold him.
Come on.
Hurry up, Jin Ran.
Don’t. Don't.
It’s not just me.
Yeah, hit him.
What is it?
You want to see me?
Yuan Lai knows that
I married you in Japan
to get back the custody of your son.
You didn't tell her before?
I...
I thought you did.
I didn't tell her.
Well, that’s a huge misunderstanding.
Go explain it to her.
How about this?
I’ll go explain it to her.
There's no need.
I can solve my own love issues.
I just hope nothing
happens from now on
that may leads to misunderstanding.
You can rest assure.
To me,
a good partner in business is
far more important than one in life.
Well.
about the company’s
charity program,
I have an appointment with Lin Shan.
How about coming to meet her with me?
What?
She is in charge of public welfare now?
Yeah.
She’s working in the Public Welfare Department of Guoben now.
It’s said the company upholds
natural, environment-friendly, and happy life.
It coincides with our Green Path Plan.
If we can get her support,
doesn’t it save a lot of trouble?
Well,
I’ll pay her a visit in another day.
I’ve got work to do.
I’m gonna go.
Excuse me.
Shuangshuang, get in here.
I’ve been watching you for all the morning.
You are either chatting on WeChat
or smiling silly over there.
Your attention is not on your work.
Do you want to keep your work here?
Mr. Zhao,
since you’re watching over me,
that means you’re not focused on your work, either.
Don’t change the subject.
Well.
Did that playboy
harass you again?
Did he send you the flowers yesterday?
Probably.
Maybe it's the guy from the blind date.
I didn’t have the chance to look at the name on the card.
And you asked me to throw it away.
I’m telling you.
No loving business in my office.
Don't chat with your boyfriend in working hours.
Don't think of your sweet dates.
Anything irrelevant with work
is not allowed.
Don’t worry.
I already have a new target.
I won’t come to you again.
Actually,
you can come to me
for business's sake.
How can I do that?
I used to follow you everywhere.
All the staffs know that I’m blind to
fall in love with you.
And now,
I have to prove to them
that my judge of beauty is OK.
It’s so weird
to hear you saying that.
I understand now.
I’ll never follow you around anymore.
I’ll surely find a man who loves me.
Though he is not
as handsome
and smart as you.
But after all,
he will love me.
Nonsense.
You can’t lower the bar.
It’s about to be off-work time.
Have a dinner with me.
I need to correct your wrong understanding on love.
I can’t. I have an appointment.
Lawyer Bai
is on the way here to pick me up for dinner.
I can’t turn him down.
He’s a lawyer
in one of the Top 50 law firms in Asia.
I can come to him
on problems in business.
You are such a disgrace.
A Top 50 law firm makes you fall for him.
What did I teach you before?
I’m seeking progress.
I want to improve my working abilities.
You should be happy for me.
Well, I’m not.
That brat is famous in legal community
due to his lust for beauty.
You want to learn business from him.
But he wants to develop a relationship.
It’s utterly a wrong path.
You’ll suffer a great loss.
What losses are there to lose?
He is handsome.
And we can talk about business
and develop a relationship at the same time.
It’s one stone for two birds.
Silly, stubborn girl!
If I’m not silly,
how could I fall for you for that long?
What are you mumbling?
I said I’m gonna go now.
Yuan Lai.
Are you alright?
I'm fine.
Relax.
Don't take on so much pressure.
If you’re in the mood,
we can go to the superb
when we finish with the client.
We can ride a horse and fish.
If you’re not in a rush,
you can even stay there for the night
to have a hot spring bath.
Mr. Ji, I’m fine.
Don’t worry.
Do you prepare all the files for the client?
Yes, it's prepared.
Hello?
Lin Shan,
I’m on my way to you.
Is your office still there?
You finally decide to come to me.
I’m not in the office.
I’m in my workshop now.
I’ll text you the address.
OK.
Hello, Gu Sa.
Jin Ran,
well,
I cancel the meeting with Lin Shan.
I’m heading to another company
for a purchase program.
But I have a problem here.
My high heels brock.
I can’t walk now.
I have a pair in my office
just in case.
Can you get the shoes for me?
Where are you?
Miss Lin.
Mr. Ji,
what brings you here?
I’m not interrupting, am I?
Of course not.
I’m so sorry
that I couldn’t meet you last time.
My hands are covered with mud.
I can’t shake hands with you.
I’m fine. It’s OK.
Oh, let me introduce.
This is Miss Lin Shan
from Guoben’s Public Welfare Department.
She’s Yuan Lai,
my right hand assistant.
Nice to meet you, Miss Lin.
Nice to meet you,
Yuan Lai.
She’s beautiful.
Mr. Ji,
with such a beauty by your side,
you don't mind to work overtime, do you?
Look.
You’re so funny.
But recently,
it’s true we’re full power ahead.
Look, we prepared another
proposal.
We want to talk about the cooperation.
Bad timing.
I’ve been working on
the plants for all the morning.
I have no time at all.
If you don’t mind,
why don’t you give me a hand?
Thank you very much.
OK.
Zhang, get them some tools.
OK.
What? You can’t come.
Are you kidding me?
Gu Sa!
Talk to you later.
