Second Time is a Charm
Episode 47
I'm going.
Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
Well, let's talk after work.
I'm going to the boss's office.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
Yu Desheng, President of Yu's Group,
was revealed to involve in possible long-term commercial fraud.
Its subordinate Houde Fund to support new people and new companies
repeatedly defaulted.
Yu Desheng's only son Yu Feifan's Extraordinary Studio
and the famous CNF Association
are both involved in it to some extent.
Yu Desheng was seriously ill a few days ago,
and the board of directors of Yu's Group held an emergency meeting
in the hope of handling the problem
reasonably and properly.
Boss,
is there anything else I can do?
Then...Then I'm leaving.
I'm going.
Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
Okay. Bye-bye, Gary.
Mr. Hu,
are you coming for Mr. Yu?
Is Feifan still in the office?
You'd better not meet him today.
He's in bad mood.
In a bad mood?
It doesn't matter.
Feifan.
It seems you have already known
Mr. Yu's matter.
Don't worry.
I'm working on it.
Yongjun,
do you remember
what your father was like?
Here you are.
What do you mean?
Sit down.
Do you still remember him?
My father passed away
when I was very little.
I don't remember him clearly,
but my mom told me he was a fisherman.
He and Mr. Yu are from the same village town
and he went out to work with Mr. Yu.
Mr. Yu first started
by buying land and building it into a hotel
in a small fishing village of the new policy by the seaside.
My father worked with him,
dealing with the local government
and fishermen.
They worked well together.
I don't have a deep impression on my father,
but I only remember that he was very busy
and he was working so hard.
I almost couldn't see him at home.
We have the same experience
in this point.
I heard of your father.
He was a very good man,
a good partner, a good colleague
as well as a good father and a good husband.
If he hadn't died early, I think
the three of you would have been happy.
Maybe.
Do you know what the biggest difference
between you and me is?
In my father
Yu Desheng's world,
there's no wife
and no friend.
I once suspected that
people like him
chose to get married and have children
as he hoped that
someone could inherit Yu's Group and pass it down.
He was afraid that the group for which he has worked hard
would fall into the hands of others.
Feifan,
you think too much. Mr. Yu is not that...
Hear me out.
I also used to naively believe that
my father was the same as most fathers.
He kept busy
only to make this family better.
I even wished
he had a short time to return to family,
but my wish didn't come true.
When my mother was seriously ill
and dying,
he actually didn't come back to see her last time
for a so-called important meeting.
Since then,
I have been completely disappointed in him.
I no longer expect him to change anything.
Everything I've been trying to do today
is to prove to him that
he's wrong.
I want him to feel guilty and ashamed
for my mother's pain,
but after all these years,
his heart is still as hard as an insensate stone,
so I don't care
if Yu Desheng's future
is good or bad.
Feifan,
what do you mean
by saying so much?
From now on,
I'm not going to do anything for Yu Desheng.
I know you said these out of anger.
No, I didn't.
Feifan,
I came to you today
to find a way to solve...
Find a way?
If he really did those things,
he should be punished by law.
Let's believe in the justice of the law.
Feifan,
he's your natural father.
Do you believe Mr. Yu got involved in
the so-called commercial fraud and default?
Do you believe Houde Fund
is an existence to deceive the public?
You'd rather believe the board
than your natural father.
This is a judgment
based on my previous experience.
I even think he made a more serious mistake
than the charge.
Feifan,
I have always admired you since I was a child.
I have always regarded you as my role model.
Why does an outsider you hate
look up to you so much?
You're everyone's lighthouse,
not just me,
because you adhere to your own principles,
you build a platform for those original authors
who have the same ideal as you,
and defend their interests overcoming all obstacles.
You almost abandoned your writing
for your Extraordinary Studio.
I admire you
because you did a lot of things
not for yourself, but for others.
I admire you
because you are different from Yu Desheng.
What about now?
What's the difference between you?
Thanks.
I heard that all authors of Daxi
were eliminated in CNF's primary.
Chief Editor Qin of Daxi
opened a VIP channel for Xiaoyao and me,
but we still didn't make it.
Did you give up?
No.
I'm still working on it
and making efforts.
But I haven't found
a better way yet.
And I don't know if CNF
will give me another chance.
After all, I have once gone to meet
the person in charge shamelessly.
What a shame.
I feel I gained extra advantage over other authors.
So what?
You may look down on me,
but I still want to say it.
You gained extra advantage over other candidates, so what?
You are shameless, so what?
You should
strive for the qualification
for entry into this CNF opening exhibition.
Do you really think I can do it?
I hope you can win.
I'll help you.
You can think this
as what I owe you.
I have to pay you back.
You can think it's my selfish motive.
I hope you can win Wang Lei.
But out of whatever purpose,
I want to help you.
I'm sincere.
And what you need to do
is just to strive for another chance.
No matter how the VIP channel
was opened,
let him open it again.
I'm sure that
you'll be on the list of this opening exhibition.
How can you make sure that?
Tell me your problems,
and I will guide you.
Is there still enough time?
Let me tell you, An An.
When you were a student,
I just set up Dawang Studio.
When you won the championship for the short story unit
of the Star Comics Award, I had my eye on you
and sent you an offer letter.
Maybe it's because it was not the right time yet.
God didn't let us meet
until a few years later.
Unfortunately,
after we met,
I couldn't take the responsibility
of principal studio author well,
and didn't be a good teacher,
but I like your design,
and this has never changed from beginning to end.
And you
only need a good teacher.
Master Qingshan
gave you a chance,
but it was delayed
as your son had an accident.
But you have needed a good teacher
from the beginning to now,
and that's your weak point compared with Wang Lei.
What should I do now?
Now that you've come into contact with people in CNF,
tell me
what they're not satisfied with
about your work.
And,
listen to me.
Don't make any change to
what you think is a good design.
How do you know I am here?
I went to look for you in the kendo gym,
but you were not there,
so I came to see you here.
Well,
are you in a bad mood?
What's the matter?
There's nothing. I just want to see you.
Are you in a bad mood?
Well, drink this and I will tell you.
Xu Guo
was born in Thailand.
She's six now.
Six years ago,
Xu Lang, Lei Yuhao and I were still in college.
Xu Lang and I were very close.
He loved me very much.
He wouldn't be with another girl,
let alone having a daughter.
So when he applied for domestic registered permanent residence for Xu Guo,
he must have changed their relationship
and her age.
I think so.
Well,
now that you've known it,
can you stop?
What do I know?
Xu Guo is not Xu Lang's biological daughter.
But that's the only thing I know.
What else do you want to know?
What happened in the car accident five years ago?
Why are he and Xu Guo biological father and daughter
on the book of registered permanent residence?
Are these important?
Yes.
They are very important.
I need to know
who's so important to him
that he can ignore
or even give up his life.
In addition,
everyone is willing to play the show with him.
So?
So what if you know?
So what if I know?
After I know it,
I will tell everyone the secret.
I will make Xu Lang pay for hurting me.
I want to tell Xu Lang
the secret he keeps
is vulnerable in my eyes.
Yilin, do you know?
You're leading this matter
to the worst direction.
I don't care.
I'll treat you to a meal another day.
Speaking.
Mr. Hu,
what did you say
to our boss tonight?
He called back all the people of the publicity department
late at night
for an emergency meeting.
He said he'd hold a press conference
to completely sever relations with
Senior Mr. Yu of Yu's Group tomorrow.
What?
You check his weibo.
He has posted one.
What's wrong with him recently?
He was so impulsive.
He didn't talk with us
before he decided to do something.
I know.
Well, don't be anxious.
I'll first check his weibo,
and we'll work out a way together.
I, Yu Feifan,
in a responsible attitude
to myself and to Extraordinary Studio,
now officially announce that
I will break off with Yu Desheng
and completely cut off all contacts with
Yu's Group and Houde Fund.
You're already an adult.
I will hold a press conference
on this matter tomorrow.
People of different moral convictions can't get along.
We will take care respectively in the future.
Is it true?
Yes, it is.
He posted it on his own.
Is it because Yu Desheng is suspected of fraud?
Not really. Do you know?
The relationship between my uncle and my cousin
really can't be made clear in a word or two.
Yu's Group is the only important thing
in my uncle's eyes.
When my aunt was seriously ill,
he didn't even get back in time.
My cousin has been blaming him because of this.
My cousin is a Cancer
who is indecisive.
He either keeps up with it,
or he explodes suddenly.
See?
That's why this happened today.
I'm really so anxious.
It seems the matter of Houde Fund
is the blasting fuse.
Yeah.
But I think it is not so serious.
They're father and son after all.
Everything can be solved
if they sit down and talk peacefully.
It's too late.
They're going to sever the parent-child relationship.
Ms. Qiu,
I am free today,
so I want to treat you to a meal.
No, no, no.
Ms. Qiu,
after careful consideration,
I think you have a particularly reasonable point.
The works and list of the exhibition must be finally confirmed.
And,
make sure good Internal website operation.
Traditionally, brands have voted online
to choose which author's work wins the highest bid.
Okay.
An An, why are you here?
I passed by here.
Get straight to the point.
Please give me another chance.
What?
I want to join CNF.
You mean you want me to open the back door for you?
Yes.
Ridiculous.
What are you doing? It's not good
to stand in the way.
I have to do this.
I have to participate in this CNF.
What do you have?
Confidence.
I have the confidence to create
the work with the highest bid in this CNF.
An An,
I've seen the works you showed me.
I really don't want to break your fragile heart,
but I have to tell you
these works
definitely can't win the highest bid.
And it might be
a work that nobody wants.
In that case,
I won't participate in CNF again.
Are you sure?
This is the last chance I give to myself.
Before the exhibition,
I'll show you my latest design drawing.
If you are still not satisfied,
you don't need to display my work this time
and may not consider me in the future.
Even if you are no longer
the organizer of CNF,
I can promise
I won't try to participate in it again.
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm very sure,
100% sure.
Ms. Qiu.
An An,
since you're blocking all your back ways,
I'll give you a last chance.
A last chance.
Tell me.
How long do you need?
On the opening ceremony exhibition brand day.
On the day?
I've looked it up.
CNF had such a precedent.
It was on the last day.
Are you kidding?
This green light
is for outstanding works and authors.
Think about your ability.
I know,
but I've taken out everything
I can bet on the table.
Okay.
An hour before that day,
I need to see the so-called work
which will win the highest bid you create.
Okay.
An An,
fighting, fighting.
Jane.
Why are you so happy?
Am I?
I think you are particularly beautiful today.
Just tell her
you will create the work
that will win the highest bid this year.
She will be interested.
This is the death point of planners.
They can't restrain their curiosity about good works.
So you can tell her that,
but you can't tell her
your design thinking,
or it will break the suspense.
You have to wait until the last moment
to show your work.
What if it still doesn't work?
What if she doesn't fall into the trap
and doesn't agree?
Then take out your Sunday punch
and cut off your back ways.
Ms. Qiu,
you are in a better mood after meeting An An.
She finally begins to understand.
I thought she would shrink back
as I criticized her last time.
I didn't expect she would come to talk to me.
It shows your judgment is right.
An An is a potential author
who is worth long-term tracking.
But then again,
An An still has a very long way to go.
I think the times are getting better.
This way works.
The best times
are also the most competitive times.
They post-90s children
have received the most front-end information since childhood
and their growth environment is much freer.
To be honest,
our generation really can't compare to them
in this point.
In their world, there is no longer one kind of voice.
They don't have elders
who deny all about some industries.
Times have changed.
Kids like An An have grown up,
and there are so many talents.
I sometimes don't know how to make a choice.
But then again,
only those who have a good state of mind,
work hard
and are willing to accept advices
will go to the end.
Ms. Qiu,
I will also work hard.
Mr. Yu,
the doctor said I'm recovering very fast
and can leave hospital soon.
Wang Lei,
don't leave hospital so soon.
Stay in the hospital for some more time.
It doesn't matter.
The doctor said I am young and recover very well.
And I'm going to start preparing for CNF.
I still have a lot of work to do.
Okay.
You decide it.
If you want to leave hospital,
I will let Gary pick you up.
Okay.
Mr. Yu,
the fruits I order have been delivered.
I'm not disturbing you.
Okay.
Have a good rest.
Lei,
what would you like to eat?
Linsu, didn't I ask you to
find a place to stay away from trouble?
Why did you come here?
Well, I listened to you
and found a very safe place.
Don't worry.
Well, have an orange.
I miss you.
I just came to see you.
It's okay.
I'll leave after a while.
I won't let Mr. Yu see me.
As you said, I am a deliveryman.
I'll cooperate with you.
- Here you are. - Is there anything else?
No, there isn't.
Tell me.
How much do you want?
Well, Lei.
Why do you talk about money right after we met?
Okay, Lei.
I'll be straightforward.
Remit some money to me again.
I indeed have almost spent all the money.
I already remitted 5,000 yuan to you.
Except for this month's rent,
that's enough for a month's expenses.
Why did you spend it all so fast?
That's right,
but I still have two friends.
Prices here in Shanghai are really too high.
Hello, dear? What's up?
Wang Lei, where are you?
I've come to the hospital. How can I find you?
Aren't you supposed to be at the conference site today?
Why did you come?
There are other people at the conference site.
Mr. Yu asked me to look after you
and let me bring you nourishing soup.
Which ward are you in?
I'm in Surgery Ward 406 in Inpatient Department.
I'm going over.
See you later.
Linsu, my friend is coming.
Please leave now.
I'll remit some money to you later.
Don't be extravagant.
Okay.
You can't spend money like before.
And,
when I need you,
you have to appear before me immediately.
See?
As I said, you still need me.
Okay, I'm going.
Okay.
Be sure to
take care of yourself.
Go. I'm going.
Bye, Lei.
Nurse,
where's Ward 406?
It's over there.
Thanks.
Goblin!
I've come to see you.
What are you doing?
You scared me.
Come on.
You're a brave girl who fought with the scoundrels.
You won't be scared by me.
Where's the bowl?
I see it.
Guess what I have brought you.
What's it?
Smell it.
Our boss asked a nanny
to cook the soup for you.
There's very nourishing flower glue
in it.
I'll get you a bowl of it.
Well, enjoy it while it's still hot.
It's very helpful for recovery.
Thanks.
Look at you.
You're so happy.
Don't you still give up your designs
to be my boss's wife?
Why does it
sound so weird in your mouth?
But it's a pity.
You could be
the boss of Extraordinary Studio
and even the whole Yu's Group.
See what happened now.
In fact, Mr. Yu is really not easy
for all these years.
His father never understands him.
Perhaps leaving that place
is the best choice.
It is to give up the inheritance right of Yu's Group,
little girl.
In fact, for me,
the boss, Extraordinary Studio
and Yu's Group
are all not important.
I feel content
as long as I can be with Mr. Yu.
I really admire you.
I can't reach your realm
all my life.
Well, enjoy the soup.
Don't be so glib.
Can I share it?
Then I'll enjoy it.
Drink it.
I really should have something nutritious.
I've been so busy recently.
This is good.
Dear media friends,
as you all know,
my father's Yu's Group
is in a business scandal lately.
Recently,
I as well as my Extraordinary Studio
have also borne
great pressure from all walks of life.
I can't even believe
and I don't want to believe such a scandal.
However,
the board of directors of Yu's Group
gave the hard evidence,
so that I have to accept the fact.
Extraordinary Studio
has been dedicated to serving the authors
and serving the originals.
I don't want the studio to be affected by
the flaws in the credibility of the investor.
Commercial fraud should be condemned.
What makes me even more surprised is that
the originator behind all this
is the president of Yu's Group,
my father,
Yu Desheng.
Mr. Yu.
When you walk into the conference site,
leave this phone hands-free.
I want to hear what Feifan will say.
Mr. Yu,
I'm afraid it's not good.
Cut the crap. Do as I say.
Yongjun, just do it.
Listen to your uncle.
Don't make him angry again.
In order not to let every author
of Extraordinary Studio
suffer injustice,
I'm going to
make a decision here today.
Decision? What decision?
I...
Decision? What decision?
Mr. Yu, what do you want to say?
Mr. Yu, do you want to break with your father?
Mr. Yu, say something.
Mr. Yu. Mr. Yu.
Mr. Yu, say something.
Mr. Yu, did Yu's Group really defraud customers?
Mr. Yu,
will Extraordinary Studio's capital chain be affected?
Mr. Yu, say something.
Mr. Yu,
are you going to break with your father?
I admire you
because you are different from Yu Desheng.
What about now?
What's the difference between you?
- Mr. Yu, say something. - Mr. Yu.
We're the same.
We both think the family members and family affairs
can be put aside and we don't need to care about them.
Thus,
I lost you,
and you
lost your family.
Mr. Yu, say something.
Mr. Yu.
Mr. Yu. Mr. Yu. Mr. Yu.
Mr. Yu.
Mr. Yu, tell us about it. Mr. Yu.
Mr. Yu. Mr. Yu. Mr. Yu.
Mr. Yu.
Sorry. Sorry.
Sorry.
Why weren't you there today?
I was then at another press conference.
Forget it.
I don't want to see this kind of press conference
like a car accident,
and I would need to clean up the mess left by my cousin.
What's wrong with Yu?
How could he do such a stupid thing?
Isn't that what everyone wants?
My uncle has broken my cousin's heart
all these years.
I'm not surprised at
what happened today.
You don't know your cousin well enough.
He loves his father
as much as he hates him.
He couldn't say
he'd break with his father out of anger.
And it was in front of so many people.
It's like to
slap his father
in front of so many outsiders.
That's really so embarrassing.
He has posted it on weibo and the news was spread.
At the press conference,
he couldn't say it out.
Now it's hard for both sides.
My uncle won't forgive
my cousin this time.
He must have become a big joke
in public opinion.
But I think as long as Yu figures it out
and forgives his father,
it still can be turned around.
And I believe
uncle wouldn't get involved in
Houde Fund's money-laundering.
I didn't expect it is you
who speak for my uncle in the end.
That's the truth.
Don't you think so?
What does he care about most in his life?
Yu's Group, right?
He has been devoted to
the group all his life.
He has already owned
the whole Yu's Group.
Does he need money?
Would he blacken Yu's Group
which he loves more than his own son
for feathering his nest?
Anyway, I don't believe it.
If what you said is true,
I think my uncle is a bit poor.
Now the board of directors of Yu's Group
clearly wants my uncle
to hand over power before he dies.
Those people are like wolves.
They could do anything possible.
Hope Yu and uncle
can get through this.
Hope so.
Someone in Extraordinary Studio told me that
my cousin disappeared
after the press conference.
His phone is powered off
and they looked for him in the places he used to go,
but they didn't find him.
Will anything happen to him?
I hope he just wants to hide
and stay alone.
Let's wait for two days.
Ah.
Where are you?
Guoguo.
- Coming. - Time for dinner.
Coming.
Good.
Xu Lang,
time for dinner.
Xu Lang.
Wait a moment.
Mom, I still have something to do.
I'll have dinner after finishing it.
It'll be cold later.
It's still early. I'm not hungry.
You have it first.
You are not hungry?
It is dinner, not midnight snack.
What's up?
Grandma,
we can't talk loudly when dad is working.
That's how you live together?
Yes.
Dad said it's important to
respect other people's space when living together.
But he should also respect me.
The dinner will be cold if he doesn't enjoy it.
After I made the dinner...
Let's have dinner.
- Let's go to have dinner. - He's already an adult.
He doesn't need me to call him to have dinner.
Let's have dinner. You don't need to call me.
Let's just have dinner.
Well, sit here, Guoguo.
- Sit. - Thanks.
A cold meal is bad for the stomach.
Enjoy it, Guoguo.
Mom.
Hello, dad?
Xu Lang,
where's my
Zisha teacup?
I...I don't know.
I'll ask my mom about it.
No need.
Hold on.
Where is
the chess I bought
at Helen Road
last year?
The chess bought at Helen Road?
I don't know Helen Road.
I'd better ask my mom. Okay?
No need.
Hello?
Hello, dad?
He has hung up the phone.
Leave him alone. Have dinner.
Guoguo, have a taste of the ribs.
Thanks.
Hello, dad?
Xu Lang,
where's our bankbook?
I really don't know.
Bankbook.
I'd better put my mom on the phone, dad.
No need.
He has hung up the phone.
Guoguo, have less meat
and more vegetables.
Dad, go ahead.
Xu Lang,
well...
Where's my cell phone?
Your grandpa is muddled.
Without cell phone, how could he make the call?
See? Without me,
his life is in a mess.
Dad, come out to have a drink.
I'll drink with you.
Have dinner.
A lot of parents like to control their children's lives,
and thus a lot of people
have been trying to resist their parents all the time.
When we finally get rid of
this kind of control,
we find that their control
is also a kind of love and protection.
