TEN YEARS LATE
Episode 21
Why did you put Yuan Lai in charge of the Green Path Plan?
Why?
Because she is the capable one.
There are many other people who are capable.
Yes,
there are.
But this project
was proposed by Yuan Lai from the beginning,
and Yuan Lai watched the whole process.
Of course, she is the most suitable one.
What?
Any problem?
That’s interesting.
I discovered by accident that
SN seems to have an additional major shareholder,
whose surname is Gu,
She happened to become the major shareholder
after an off-the-way overseas filming agreement
between Feitu and SN was reached.
What?
Do you think
I’m the Gu?
I don’t care who she is.
I only care about whether Yuan Lai would get hurt from this.
You think too much.
No one is going to hurt her.
Jin Ran,
sitting with you here
makes me remember that summer,
when Alex, you and me
were having a holiday in Miami.
That year,
you insisted that Alex to go to
the summer camp in poor health.
As a result,
he became more and more weak in the camp.
I just think a boy
should take more practice and
I want him to grow up quickly.
Besides,
I don’t want my divorce to affect him.
Alex is actually much stronger
than you thought.
OK, you don’t have to tell me this.
The same thing again.
Like “You have experienced
what he is experiencing”, right?
When do you plan to go to Japan
to accompany him?
Jin Ran,
actually,
Alex has grown up.
For him at this age,
a mother is no longer important.
The most important thing is to have a good father
to give him a good example.
Alex often talks about you.
I think, I, as his mother
am not as good as you in his heart.
I’ll take time to go to Japan to see him.
Will Yuan Lai be with you there?
Of course.
Jin Qian,
come with me to Japan.
Let’s go to Japan together,
OK?
We have joint business there.
We are comrades-in-arms
and good partners.
I hope the two of us will be
more intimate friends in the future.
As long as you like,
we will always be comrades-in-arms
and I will always be your most trusted friend.
Up to now,
there is still a position reserved for you in the company in Japan.
I’m waiting for you to come back.
When I left Japan,
I had decided to say goodbye
to everything in the past.
Why?
Why is it?
If you like the tourism industry,
we can open travel agencies.
We can open dozens of travel agencies,
all over the country
and all over the world.
If you like China,
we can open branches in China
and come back several times a year.
I returned to China
not only because of the future development of my country,
but also for an important person.
I want to change a way of life.
To change for her.
Jin Ran,
this world is not what you think it is.
In this world, not everything can be
traded for equal value.
Since that event,
we have been tied tightly together.
Those past events
can never be past.
Yuan Lai is different from you.
If she knows
what you’ve done before,
do you think she’ll still accept you?
Those are the past.
Even if she couldn’t accept it,
I would keep waiting for her.
You’ll be bored with
this kind of plain life.
I’m waiting for the day when you get bored.
That day will never come.
Don’t be so sure.
Let’s see.
How long have you been standing here?
Why don’t you call me?
I come to this street without consciousness
I suddenly missed you a lot.
I recall the past
Did you drink?
You were with her just now?
Since I miss you so much
Yuan Lai,
I’m so afraid.
Of what?
Don’t you always have
confidence and a plan
for everything you do?
You think highly of me.
In fact, I also have something I’m not sure of.
Like you.
I’m afraid I’ve tried my best and
I still can’t keep you
by my side in the end.
I’m afraid we’ve been in love for ten years,
but in the end we can’t get over the difficulties we met.
Do you know?
Sometimes I’m really afraid.
Because I can’t do anything about
what happened in the past.
This is the truly me.
I’m afraid that after you know me like that,
You’ll choose to leave me.
It’s lucky that
We can continue the story
I won’t.
Because I trust you.
I believe that you won’t do anything that is too much.
It’s lucky that
We never change
It’s lucky that
We meet again
It’s lucky that
We can continue the story
Jin Ran,
You’re with me.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Every ten years
Xin Yi,
The results of the quarterly appraisal have come out.
Our group is the first in the whole company,
and the director says there is a salary increase.
Look, we often worked hard overtime,
although the leaders didn’t say anything,
they knew everything.
It seems that Director will talk to you soon.
Besides,
our deputy director’s position has been vacant for so long,
It’s time for you to stand up,
right?
Director is coming.
Amy,
you two come to my office later.
OK.
Thank you, director.
Let’s go.
Xinyi, come and have a seat.
Director,
I heard that the results of the quarterly appraisal have come out.
Your group’s performance this time is really good.
I’ve just talked to every member in the group.
They will get the promotion
and salary increasing that they deserved.
Of course, this success
is also closely related to your efforts.
Thanks for your recognition.
We will continue to work hard.
Winning without arrogance or defeated without discouragement.
Keep going on.
Anything else?
I don’t understand.
We got the first place
and all my group members
can get promotion and salary
increasing except me?
The company has always been cultivating you intentionally.
Otherwise,
it will not leave you the position of
regional manager, right?
Of course,
it was your own choice that you didn’t accept it.
We respect your choice.
After all, you have ushered in a new phase of your life.
I knew it.
To put it bluntly,
because I was pregnant,
I lost the chance to get a promotion and raise my salary,
didn't I?
You can’t say that.
We have given you the chance of promotion,
but you refused it.
As for salary,
your present salary
is already the highest standard of your position.
How could it raise more?
Or,
you can talk to the Personnel Department
to see if they can adjust
the salary standard.
I rejected the position of regional manager
because it required frequent business trips,
and I am not competent at this stage,
but that does not mean that
I cannot continue to move forward in the
original organization.
Original organization?
Do you mean the vice director?
Yes,
the position of vice director is vacant.
And to be honest,
before you received the promotion of
regional manager,
you’ve always been in my consideration.
But there are many of us who worked hard as well,
we have to make sure that
everyone has a fair chance to compete.
Fair competition?
Didn’t my achievements
come from fair competition?
How about this?
You go back first.
I will consult
with the leader about your situation.
You should do your present job well first.
I believe there will be many opportunities.
Did you ask me here
to show me how bad
your playing skills are now?
There is a discount today,
half price for girls,
of course I have to share
this good chance with my brother,
to comfort your lonely, boring night
when Xinyi is working overtime.
You know what,
I’m not interested in half price.
There are only two reasons for half price:
one is the defective products with poor quality,
they are eager to reduce losses through sales;
the other is
the products with gorgeous appearance
in order to trap such greedy people
as you.
You’re so mean.
That means
the words “take advantage”
won’t appear in my dictionary.
It’s not my style.
You see?
It must be you!
You’re obviously a married guy
that affected my luck.
According to my observation,
a man who has a girl in his heart,
his attraction to the opposite sex
would decrease dramatically.
Once again,
it’s Shen Shuangshuang likes me.
And my heart
belongs to this paradise.
Then as your brother, let me tell you
that your half price paradise
will kill you one day.
At first, it was you who let me
have some relationship with her.
If I hadn’t gone to the blind dates for you,
how could I have provoked this devil?
Yes, I should thank you for the blind dats.
I have even given you two lens for price.
But I didn’t let you
to fall in love with her.
What? No! I didn’t!
Don’t spread rumors!
You walked into the grave of love,
don’t try to make me be buried with you.
Let me tell you again,
it’s not a grave of love.
I happily entered the paradise of marriage.
You’ll never know how sweet
the love between us is.
And later Xinyi will…
Wait! Wait! Wait!
Don’t strike No. 1!
No.5 first.
That would be easy.
Great!
Hello.
Yuan Lai,
Mr. Wang, one of the directors of the board
just arrived in Shanghai today.
As a matter of courtesy,
I think I have to pay a visit.
Then I won’t
be able to have a meeting
with you and Lin Shan at noon.
I think you can communicate
with her directly about the purchase.
OK, got it.
I’ve sent you a new budget.
It’s like this,
take out a series of expenses such as
foundations, tourism bureaus and TV advertisements,
we can buy 70,000 saplings
with a budget of 700,000 yuan,
covering an area of about
40,000 square kilometers.
How can there only be 70,000 seedlings?
How can we buy
three-year saplings which are
less than five yuan on the market at twice the price?
Should other expenditures
account for half of the total budget?
We have no choice.
There are too many links in the circulation.
I’ve achieved the lowest price of publicity and materials.
However, do you think Mr. Wen will have
any question about the total budget figures?
I think
I’d better apply with
Mr. Wen again.
Hello?
Jin Ran?
For an additional 1.3 million,
a total budget of 2 million
to the purchase of saplings.
What?
Hello?
Are you there?
Moreover,
transplanting adult fruit trees of overseas origin
can form a natural landscape,
which can be used to negotiate with Lan Town’s local government.
Alright.
If that’s all right with you,
I’ll talk to Lin Shan at this price,
OK?
One more thing,
pay attention to your health,
don’t work so hard.
I know.
Why don’t we take this case?
The boy has a complete set of blueprints.
It was obvious that SN
had stolen his designs!
So what?
There is few chance to win.
And these prints are hardly any evidence at all.
Even if we win,
the designer can’t pay much.
What’s more, SN is a big group.
We have no reason to fight against
the whole forest for only a small tree.
But I’d rather die for that tiny tree.
My dear,
a new France restaurant opened on the Bund,
are you interested tonight?
Don’t tell me that you need to work.
I have booked the table.
And I have told the chef
that all the dishes should be well-done.
Then I agree with you.
Let’s add it to 2 million.
OK.
Jin Ran said
he will talk to Lin Shan later.
OK.
That’s it.
Alright.
Sorry, Ms. Yuan.
Gu Sa.
Are you going to have a meeting with Lin Shan.
Where is Jin Ran?
Have you checked the budget with him?
He went to meet the leaders from the board.
I have checked with him.
There is no problem.
Alright.
Tell me if you have any problem
when you are having the meeting with Lin Shan.
Lin Shan is my best friend.
She will listen to me.
OK.
I’m leaving now.
Welcome.
Sir, may I help you?
Are there any special proposing rings?
This is the latest one,
Admire series.
Not only it is very shining,
also each side of the diamond
has its own meaning.
If you give this to your girlfriend,
she must be very happy.
Well,
size of 10,
wrap it up for me.
OK.
Ding Ang?
If I hide my crush on you
I won’t dare to fall in love with you
I won’t be sad
Now
I thought I could forget you
And I could treat you as an old friend
The false appearance
Was exposed at one moment
Now you are my wife!
Finally you are!
Ding Ang.
My wife!
Ding Ang?
Come out!
When I meet you again
I forgive you for you left
How are you going these years
Did you ever hope that
You were with me
Every time I rekindle my expectations of you
When did you become so romantic?
I want to compensate you
for a successful marriage proposal.
We’ve already got our marriage certificates.
There will be regrets
for no proposal.
You know that I don’t care about this.
But I care.
But actually, I…
Ding Ang, I’m really…
I know what you are worried about.
I know
you’re worried about the change of your identity.
You’ll think a lot,
a lot of uncertainties,
and you’re afraid that
the daily necessities
will bother you.
But you know that
it’s the first time for both of us
to get married.
We will meet
some difficulties inevitably.
I know I’m not good enough.
But I will try my best to be a good husband.
And I’ll give you all my love.
Xinyi,
I want to be your family.
You’ll never be alone.
No matter where you are,
I’ll always be with you.
Xu Xinyi,
will you marry me?
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 lose it
We learn to introspect
Deceive ourselves
We want to find the cure
Don’t resort to petty tricks
Love has no win or lose
Otherwise the last thing left
Is a lonely back.
If we can get over these,
we can see the most beautiful scene.
Like what you said,
none of us has ever been married,
but I’ve been ready for this.
This world is not what you think it is.
In this world, not everything can be
traded for equal value.
Since the acquisition,
we have been
tied tightly together.
Those past events
can never be past.
Yuan Lai is different from you.
If she knows
what you’ve done before,
do you think she’ll still accept you?
Because I trust you.
I believe that you won’t do anything that is too much.
Jin Ran,
I love you.
Yuan Lai,
I’ll never let you leave me again.
Do you have plans for tomorrow night?
How about having dinner together?
OK. Where?
I’ll wait for you.
See you tomorrow.
Jin Ran.
Morning. What’s up?
I don’t understand some figures of
the financial statements for the third quarter.
Help me about this.
What’s wrong?
Mr. Jin.
Your appointment has arrived.
Wait a moment.
I will be there soon.
OK.
Sorry.
I think Mr. Ji will know more details
about the financial statements than me.
If you need this,
I can ask Wen Ya to make an appointment for you
and you can talk to Mr. Ji.
I have some important guests to meet,
excuse me.
Xinyi!
Finally you’re here.
My baby will be born if you come a little later.
I came here at the expense
of my lunch break.
Can you forgive me for this?
Are you hungry?
Bring us the lunch.
It should be you who is hungry.
Just go! Fine.
Sit down.
You two are so efficient.
You said you want to get married on the first day,
and the second day you already got married.
Ding Ang is so mean!
How can you not
inform your friends of your proposal?
Why is it?
Want to see the proposal?
Go ask Jin Ran.
As for being romantic, Jin Ran is better than Ding Ang.
Where is he?
He is
busy at work.
He wants to have dinner with me tonight.
It seems that he has something to tell me.
Ding Ang said the same thing before
he proposed to me.
Really?
Yes!
Hello. I’m here again.
Welcome.
Cappuccino, please.
OK.
So they came up with
clues…
Wait a moment, please.
…in many ways.
Anything else?
And here,
how did KNW win this lawsuit?
Sir.
Because the judge accepted their evidence.
Look here.
Sir?
And here.
Your coffee.
This is the key to win.
So,
this is how they inferred that
he knew it subjectively.
Yes.
KNW inferred from the contents of the e-mail...
OK. Thank you.
That the defendant had subjective knowledge
of the infringement and intended to do so.
So the judge accepted their evidence.
And then,
KNW won the lawsuit in the end.
Understand?
Well…
- Read it again carefully. - I see.
There is a correlation
between these evidences,
so they took advantage of
the correlations between these evidences.
Got it?
Shuangshuang,
have you finished the contracts I gave you this morning?
I have sent you before the lunch.
Sorry, I didn’t receive that.
Go upstairs and send again to me now.
I’m in a hurry.
It’s the lunch break now.
Lawyer Zhao, right?
I heard a lot of you from Shuangshuang.
My name is Peter.
Peter?
Your friend is so strong.
Work in a PR company, right?
I have some female clients to entertain later.
I will need your help.
Lawyer Zhao!
This is the Peter I mentioned to you before.
From the top ten Law Firms in Asia.
KNW’s partner.
All my flowers were sent by him.
Peter, don’t mind.
My master is such a man
who always plays jokes
and his brain is not working well.
My English name
was given to me by my teacher, Michael Lee.
Mr. Zhao,
nice to meet you.
So your master was Michael Lee,
the famous invincible lawyer?
Famous teachers make excellent apprentices.
That’s so great.
What do you mean?
Isn’t your master great?
At least I have a Law Firm
and my father is a director.
When I graduated from college, I came first in the Civil Law Examination.
Let’s move on.
OK.
Where were we?
I remember. And here…
Shen Shuangshuang,
seriously?
How can you show the company information
to others at will?
Zhao Chengzhi, look at it carefully,
this is the case of
infringement that KNW helped SN to win in 2016.
Don’t mix them up.
Mr. Zhao,
I brought this here because
Shuangshuang is interested in it.
And I have time for discussion.
Anything wrong?
Sure,
this is our company’s case.
What does it matter to you?
Would you be happy if I were involved
in your company’s case?
Lunch break will stop at 13:23:06.
You will be punished
if you are one second late.
What a madman.
Can it be tighter back there?
OK.
Yes, thinner.
No problem.
How do I look?
You’re so gorgeous!
I can barely remember the one you used to be
when you lost your bag
at the beginning of the school.
Don’t mention it.
I was so lucky to have you then.
Or I would have died.
All the things I had were in it.
Yes,
I tried desperately to get it back for you.
It was so tired.
This is so beautiful.
How about this?
You can choose your wedding dress as well today.
You and Jin Ran will get married soon anyway.
We can have the wedding together!
Nonsense!
I’m not sure about that yet.
But I’m really happy for you.
Finally there is a stupid man
who wants to marry the crazy woman like you.
How I wish I can play the drums
and gongs and sing for you right now.
It seems that you are so jealous!
No.
I can even hear your heart shouting
“I want to get married!”.
Let’s wait and see.
Later you will be troubled
with milk, diapers and baby,
while I’m busy with
delicious food and travels.
Don’t envy me then.
I will block you off first.
Give me some opinion.
It’s really great.
- But I’m afraid my waist… - It fits you.
It’s fine.
Yuan Lai,
don’t worry too much.
As a shareholder,
I shouldn’t be involved in the subjects.
But Lin Shan is my best friend
and she is too busy to do this now.
So I’m helping her
with the Guoben Green Path Plan.
You are the
shareholder and the leader from the board anyway.
You don’t have to explain this to me.
These are all the cooperation
which valued more than one million we have done in the past year.
You can have a look.
There are sixteen projects in total,
ten of which are under the charged of Jin Ran.
He is still as outstanding as before.
You know what,
he was involved in
23 M&A projects in Japan at that time,
with a total capital of about $50 billion.
I’ve never really heard him say anything
about him in Japan.
He is still as low-key as before,
which is both his advantage and his disadvantage.
In the career,
if you don’t do some propaganda,
how can the boss see your value?
Do you think so?
Not entirely.
I think as long as you work hard,
the boss can still see it.
I remember
his best project at that time
was to help Hanguang acquire Meiji.
Meiji was a new technology company
with a market capitalization of 54 billion yuan,
but he used only 16 billion yuan to buy it.
On the day of the announcement,
Hanguang’s shares rose 120 percent.
That’s really him.
Always so excellent.
How did he do that?
That was a long story.
This is business,
there are always some
cruel things about the acquisition
which are not suitable for such a simple girl like you to listen to.
Just tell me the details about
this project now.
I made a settlement plan
about the infringement of SN.
Didn’t I tell you that we won’t take this case?
There are two reasons why you don’t want to take this case.
One is that it won’t make too much money,
and the other is that you’re afraid of offending SN.
I checked the previous records,
which you saw at the restaurant last time.
In 2016, a designer
also sued SN for infringement.
He commissioned KNW to file a lawsuit for him,
which lasted for one year and three months,
and finally he got 3 million yuan for compensation.
At the same time, he asked SN
to report an apology to him on the newspaper.
SN’s shares fell by five percentage points
on the day of the judgment,
with direct loss of interest exceeding 30 million.
Does this matter to whether we should
take this case?
Don’t you understand?
It shows that SN, with his painful experience
of learning from the past,
will not be foolish enough
to fall into the same river twice,
nor will he be willing to fight a lawsuit again.
If the boy goes to KNW,
it would be another nightmare
for SN.
But
if we can persuade the boy to reconcile,
SN will surely
be grateful to us.
Time and reputation are the key
to a big company like SN,
so I make the price of five million dollars
in this settlement plan,
and they will certainly not refuse it.
We can get half a million
dollars in return for 10 percent.
Are you satisfied
with such a win-win strategy, master?
That’s a great plan,
I agree with it.
Change this place again
and give it to me when it’s done.
OK.
Thank you.
Rex,
come here, please.
I have a question.
Have you ever heard
of Hanguang’s purchase of Meiji before?
Hanguang and Meiji?
Sure I did.
That is a famous case in the industry.
Meiji’s value was
inexplicably made low so much,
Hanguang really took a lot of advantages.
Can the value be made low?
Sure.
You know what,
I heard that the big boss of Hanguang
hired a big bug,
so he arranged the big bug
in Meiji to become an executive.
In one of the company’s major projects,
the executive made a deliberate mistake,
causing the capital chain to break,
triggering a torrential effect.
Finally,
in just one week,
the company’s market value was cut by two-thirds.
Two-thirds!
What a huge percent!
And then,
Hanguang purchased it immediately.
So
that’s how it ends till now.
How could it be possible?
This is a commercial crime!
The Business Investigation Section has investigated it,
but there is no evidence,
direct or indirect, that shows
the big bug made a deliberate mistake.
Moreover,
in the company’s major resolutions,
all the signatures were signed
by Meiji’s owner Kevin.
Later this matter was over like that.
The worst thing was Kevin,
the owner of Meiji,
Couldn’t bear the stimulation
and committed suicide.
His wife
soon left together with him.
It’s said that she had depression.
Their child under ten years old was left.
A little girl.
What a pity for this
poor family.
