Why did Uncle Fung asked you to sit in on the Board meeting?
Do they have an important announcement?
I already told you, I don't know.
Will they talk about Fung Ming Gui?
Even if you guessed it right,
my answer is still I don't know.
What's taking so long?
And you call yourself my brother?
You stole my Baby behind my back.
So what? Baby and I love each other.
You should give her up.
Women are like clothes.
Don't hurt each other's feelings over a woman.
Get out of the way.
Get lost! I'm calling the cops.
Sorry, everyone! Please be patient.
Zita, I'm stuck in traffic.
Make sure the meeting doesn't start without me.
The Board meeting later
will be my last one as Chairman of the Group.
Then I'll turn myself in to the ICAC.
While I'm away, you must do two things for me
One, try to get rid of Samuel.
I suspect he squealed to the ICAC.
Are you sure? Why would he do that?
Don't ask. Just do as Daddy says. What else?
Two, I'll motion for Ivan to be the Chairman.
Kiu, Yiu-yiu, you must help him.
Ivan, you'll be in charge from now on.
Samuel works for you, even if you can't get rid of him,
cut his authority, sideline or bypass him.
Just make sure he doesn't call the shots.
I'll try.
I don't want you to try, just do it!
Don't be scared of being scolded.
You should do the scolding, understand?
I will, Daddy!
Go to the conference room and get ready.
I want a word with Auntie Kiu.
Honey, don't worry!
Charles and the others are your friends.
They'll help keep an eye on Ivan.
Samuel can't get away with it.
Peter told me I'll get 3 years tops.
Honey, I'm sorry! The next few years will be tough on you,
helping the kids fight off those demons,
while there's nothing I can do.
No, I should be sorry.
All along I wanted control.
Somehow I feel like you, Ivan and Yiu-yiu are family
and I'm just an outsider.
I even collaborated with Samuel to stop Ivan from moving up.
I even thought about becoming the Chairman.
Alright... say no more.
I know what you're thinking.
That's because I failed to make you feel secure.
I'm sorry, Honey!
Give me 3 more years.
After that, I'll give you all of my time.
When you have me, you don't need control of anything else.
I promise, in the next 3 years,
I'll keep an eye on the Group and the kids.
Let it slide, Brother Tai-Kwan!
Anything but women.
You're holding up traffic.
Take your argument home.
We're not arguing,
We never argue.
Let's get off the street, it's dangerous.
Sure!
Sorry, Sir!
Why did you stop the car?
I don't know. I blew a tire.
Why didn't you answer the phone?
Cheuk Wah got out of his car and left.
Hello, Miss Chi? I let you down.
Cheuk Wah got away.
Alright, bye!
Sorry, bad traffic. Let's begin.
You must have heard, ICAC will press charges against me.
As the Chairman, I have compromised the company's reputation.
For that, I'm truly sorry.
In order not to affect the company's operation.
I have decided to resign as Chairman
and motion for Ivan to replace me.
Ivan, say a few words to everyone.
Thanks for your decision, Daddy. I wish...
I object!
Samuel, what's your reason?
The media is onto us about our Chairman offering bribes.
The integrity of the new Chairman is most important.
Ivan, did you personally finalize Wong Yi-san's contract?
Yes.
Except for what's written in black and white,
did you make additional requests?
No.
Samuel, what are you saying?
How is the contract related to Ivan's integrity?
Miss Wong complained to me about Ivan.
He wanted Miss Wong to go to Europe with him for a week,
or else she can't make the Fung Ming Gui commercial.
Is that right, Ivan?
Hey... watch your mouth!
Sandy and I are good friends.
While we were shooting the commercial,
I have never heard her complain,
or about Ivan making additional requests.
Samuel, you may object to Heen becoming the Chairman,
but don't make up stories.
This won't take long. I invited Miss Wong to join us.
Zita, please send Miss Wong in.
Sandy, I promise... if you're unhappy,
I'll always be there for you.
Miss Wong, Mr. Cheuk said you may go in.
Miss Wong, is everything alright?
Please tell Mr. Cheuk, I'm not going to the meeting.
Well? I see. Sorry, everyone,
Miss Wong can't make it.
What does that mean, Samuel?
You have neither evidence nor witness.
I'll pretend you said nothing.
I'll ask one more time.
Any objection to Ivan becoming the Chairman?
No? If there's...
I object.
What now?
Anyone can be the Chairman except a Chu.
I have here the media coverage of the Dynasty Group over the past 2 weeks.
They said the Chus have final say in everything at Dynasty.
One Chu steps down, another Chu takes his place.
Nothing has really changed.
Even if we proceed with the IPO,
investors will lose faith in us.
The only way is to pick someone outside of the Chu family.
Yes! Nothing must affect the IPO.
Then let's find someone else.
Fung, think of the big picture.
As long as Ivan does a good job,
investors only care about results and stock price.
I don't think we should take that chance.
There maybe someone more suitable than Ivan.
What about we let Samuel be the Chairman?
I agree.
Me too.
What about we let Samuel be the Chairman?
I agree.
Me too.
Thank you! At a time when it's critical for Dynasty,
I'm absolutely willing to take up the responsibility.
Mr. Chu, I doubt if you have another candidate.
Good! Then Samuel will...
Wait! If you're insistent
about a Chu taking up the position.
Then Samuel is not qualified either.
He's my nephew.
The media will have a feast
and affect our stock price.
We should nominate someone totally unrelated.
Chi, I want you to be the Chairman.
What?
She only represents Fung Ming Gui,
just one of the restaurants within the Group.
It's already against the rules to let her sit in.
She's not qualified to be on the Dynasty management.
Fine! After this meeting,
I'll instruct Legal to draft an agreement
To transfer half of my shares to Miss Fong.
Then she'll officially become a shareholder of Dynasty.
Naturally, she'll be part of management
and has every right to replace me.
Uncle Fung, the numbers don't add up.
I can barely manage 20+ employees at Fung Ming Gui.
You have 33 restaurants within the Group,
each with over 100 employees
adding up to over 3,000 people.
I don't think I can manage them.
Chi, I won't be wrong.
Being the Chairman is very simple.
You don't have to do much.
You'll have people to help you.
You can do it.
I'm rooting for you.
Hey... except for a Chu, someone else can...
I agree Miss Fong should be the new Chairman
You're the Vice Chairman,
you think the owner of this tiny restaurant can be the Chairman?
Miss Fong managed a 40-year-old shop,
I have complete confidence in her.
What do you think?
Go ahead and object.
If the election of the new Chairman is indefinitely postponed,
the IPO will also be indefinitely postponed.
(Closed for the day)
Aren't you tired of looking at the sign?
I have a feeling when I get out of jail,
everything will be different, especially Fung Ming Gui.
It's best to take a picture of it.
Honey, take a picture for me.
Chi said Fung Ming Gui will open in a couple of days.
She's now the Chairman of Dynasty,
she can't help out anymore.
Brother Fung! Fancy seeing you here!
I'm still a major shareholder of Dynasty,
naturally I should make my rounds.
Fung Ming Gui is still closed,
what are you doing here?
What's wrong with you?
You're the owner of Fung Ming Gui too.
You must know we'll reopen in a few days.
We're here to discuss about work.
Let's sit down somewhere and talk while we eat.
You're at Fung Ming Gui, you want to eat somewhere else?
You're definitely eating here.
Fun, you'll cook for us.
I'll get the beer.
Good! Let's get blasted tonight.
I know how much alcohol you can hold.
Can you really drink till dawn?
Let's take a picture while we're all here.
Great! Good idea!
Come on...
Sing, take a picture for us.
Thanks!
Don't forget the sign!
Hey...
Miss Chi!
There you are!
Tai-Kwan, poke a hole in the beer can.
Yes, Miss Chi!
I knew your kung fu is getting better.
One for each of you... drink up!
You shot to the top.
We should make a toast.
Let's get blasted tonight.
Wash away all the unhappy things. Come on...
Cheers!
You should be happy about the promotion.
Why the long face?
You seem to be drowning your sorrow with beer.
Siu-Tung is right.
Drinking will only upset you more.
Is something troubling you?
Please tell us.
Let us help you out.
Right! You're very resourceful.
What can I tell Uncle Fung?
How can I turn down the Chairman title?
Why are you saying this?
One should aim high.
Now that you're in charge of Dynasty,
Fung Ming Gui will benefit from it.
Why do you want to turn down the Chairman position?
You don't wish to confront Cheuk Wah?
Is that the reason?
You have nothing to worry about.
The Chairman is the highest position.
Just like our Emperor.
You have the mandate of heaven.
Bo is right. You can count on Heen and Miss Ling.
As long as you stay united,
you have nothing to fear from the scumbag.
Don't be so naive.
That scumbag literally sent Uncle Fung to jail.
I'm no match for him.
I can barely manage Fung Ming Gui.
With only Heen and Yiu-yiu on my side within Dynasty,
we're pathetically outnumbered.
I've been to war long enough.
Winning does not ride on headcounts.
You need strategy.
It's possible for the weak to overcome the strong.
How can I go to war with no troops?
You're wrong.
With me and Brother Tai-Kwan, you have both brains and brawn,
not to mention Siu-tung's cookery.
You have the ability to fight.
You'll help me?
You have our word.
Great! Be careful!
Miss Chi! Miss Chi!
Come... stand over here!
I hereby appoint you as the Director of Security.
I'll do my best to crush the rebels and keep Dynasty safe.
Xiao Li! Yes!
I hereby appoint you as Dynasty's Executive Chef,
and put you in charge of 33 restaurants within the Group.
Thank you, Miss Chi!
I'll make use of everything I know
to bring the Group's food to the next level.
Zuo Guangdou... you'll be...
I'll be your personal assistant.
I'll follow everywhere, offering my advice and suggestions.
Yes! One for all and all for one! Come...
Be careful!
Give me a hug! No...
They look nice on you.
But the price is not nice.
So? Ivan gave you a wardrobe allowance.
Let me help you. Thanks!
You're saving his seat for him.
This one, this one and this one.
You deserve them.
I'll keep these for you.
I don't need them all.
I can't wear all of them.
I promised Uncle Fung to take up this position for 3 years.
I don't think I'll last that long.
Where in the world is most complicated?
Inside the Palace.
The able assistants of the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty are helping you.
You can't lose.
I know they're brilliant
but you don't understand.
They still dress like they're from the Ming Dynasty,
and they recite ancient prose.
I tried different knots,
but still can't figure this out.
Let me help you, sir.
I found the perfect tie for you.
Look at those muscles...
Hold on!
Tai-Kwan, come here.
Bo, come here.
That's not how you tie a tie.
Place the wide end over the small end.
Bring the wide end through the neck loop.
Bring the tie back down the hole in the middle.
What's so funny?
Learn to do it yourself.
You don't have a maid to do it for you.
I'll remember it well.
The Director of Security can't tie his own tie!
I'll dock your pay! There...
Ceci, pick up the phone!
A night of rendezvous,
is better than anything on earth.
If love is meant to last,
There is no need to be together day and night.
Bo?
Bo, why are you dressed like that?
Xiao Qian, we grew up together and have been honest to each other.
Why did you lie to me?
How long do you intend to put on this act?
What? You still think I'm the Crown Princess?
I keep telling you I'm not.
I'm Wong Yi-San.
Please conduct yourself properly.
I came to tell you we found the passage back to the Ming Dynasty.
Change and we can be on our way.
It's time, Your Highness!
It's best not to miss the auspicious hour.
I'm not going back.
I won't marry a man I don't love.
Have you forgotten you're from the Ming Dynasty?
You don't get to choose your fate.
I decide whether or I want to stay.
You won't get away even if you have wings.
You better come with us quietly.
No!
If you're being stubborn,
don't blame me for being vicious.
On my count to three, I hope to hear a different answer. One...
Guangdou, talk to your brother.
Let's stay here and we can get married.
You should listen to us.
Change your clothes and go back to the Crown Prince.
Two...
Zuo Guangdou, you're resolved with handing me over?
Three...
Sandy, are you alright?
Having another nightmare?
I'm fine. What time is it?
3:30? The press conference started...
Get me the pad.
Sandy, we're ready.
Can you tell the director
to give me 15 more minutes?
Sure! I'll tell him.
Sandy!
Told you olive green looks good on you.
Up next, Dynasty's new Chairman
Miss Fong Wai-chi will introduce members of our management team.
Hello, everyone! You may not know me.
Before I took over Dynasty as the Chairman,
I managed Fung Ming Gui.
I'm grateful to management for this opportunity.
I will uphold Dynasty's guiding principle
and lead my staff in that direction.
Let me introduce you to my team.
Mr. Cheuk Wah is our COO.
Mrs. Chu and Mr. Chu Ka-heen
are our Vice Chairman.
Miss Chu Ka-yiu is our Assistant Chairman.
Mr. Wan Tai-Kwan is our Director of Security
Mr. Fung Yat-Bo is my personal assistant.
Mr. Li Siu-Tung is Fung Ming Gui's Head Chef
as well as the Executive Chef for all 33 restaurants within the Group.
I hope our team will bring a new and dynamic atmosphere to Dynasty.
Come in! What is it?
Perhaps there has been a misunderstanding.
I always thought we're in the same boat.
Sorry, I don't think so.
I understand why you want to mess with Fung Ming Gui.
I can live with you messing with the Fongs.
But you sent my husband to jail.
That is way beyond my bottom line.
If memory serves, you told me
you want to stop Ivan from becoming the Chairman.
I can't do that if I don't go all the way.
My only mistake was
I didn't expect your husband to put a Fong in that position.
Forget it. The war is over.
Not quite. I can help you if you wish to continue.
Then I'm telling you I don't want to.
If I want to fight, it'll be for my kids.
You're welcome to unseat Chi,
but leave my kids alone.
That's all I have to say.
Then I'll get out of your way.
What are you doing? Get out of my way.
You have no say even if the Chairman backs you up, you hick!
I'm still the CEO, I can fire you.
There's no need to get excited.
I came here to do a trade.
I know you're upset Miss Chi is now the Chairman.
But it's destiny, I suggest you live with it
If you try to get along with her
and stop your monkey business behind her back,
I can let bygones be bygones and leave you alone.
I'm telling you now I'm pissed as hell.
From now on, I will do only one thing.
Kick your precious Miss Chi out of Dynasty. What can you do about it?
Don't be stubborn.
If you do anything to her,
or make her slightly uneasy,
I will return everything in tenfold.
Like I'm really scared!
Oh, I forgot! You know kung fu.
Go ahead, let the CCTV catch you hitting me.
What are you doing?
Whoever offends Miss Chi is offending me.
I always settle the score.
Think carefully whether you want to be my friend or my enemy.
What is your brother doing?
Why piss off Cheuk Wah?
This is part of our plan.
We can't sit around and wait for him to make his move.
We should take the initiative.
We should be proactive, not reactive.
Chef Li, we have to inspect 6 restaurants.
Our schedule is very tight.
Here's the file on the Head Chefs.
You haven't eaten your lunch?
As the Executive Chef of the Group,
on top of Fung Ming Gui's menu,
you're responsible for the food served at the other 33 restaurants.
Eating nothing but a sandwich all day is bad for your health.
Thanks for your concern.
If I were you, if you have time to show your concern,
you should study this...
I have heard so much about you, Chef Li.
I'm Chef Shiu, the new Head Chef.
Hello, Chef Shiu.
Miss Fong!
Chef Li, for the next 6 months...
Where's the kitchen?
Over here.
Chef Shiu, please prepare for me rice,
egg batter, green onions, ice and a plastic bag.
What are you doing?
We have 5 more restaurants to check.
Fried rice won't take long.
You came here to make fried rice?
Li Siu-Tung, what's this? We don't have time.
I told you eating only a sandwich all day is bad for your health.
I'm making you fried rice.
After you finish eating, we'll continue on our rounds.
No thanks. Nothing spicy for Miss Ling.
We moved into the new dormitory,
I can't make breakfast for you anymore.
Please don't forgo sleep and food for work.
I know. How many times did I tell you?
My business is none of your business.
Please drive!
I'm home!
Why are you noses bleeding? Too much internal heat?
No, our noses are bleeding thanks to you.
Siu-Tung, is this your box?
Yes, I recognize the oil stain on it.
I used it to pack my things from Fung Ming Gui.
Good! You admit it. We have been very patient with you
to make sure you don't go astray.
But you... indulged in such obscenity behind our backs!
How dare you, Siu-Tung!
No way!
Believe me, these are not mine.
Don't deny it. These magazines are not right for you.
Brother Tai-Kwan and I are real men full of sap.
Reading these made our noses bleed.
You must know you're different from us.
They are bad for you.
They're not mine.
Maybe Uncle Man-mo or Boney got them mixed up with my things when they finished.
I know it's normal to be curious.
I'm worried you may be confused despite your condition.
You've been inseparable with Miss Ling lately,
I'm worried you might fall in love.
I said no. Please stop accusing me.
Look! These scantily dressed girls have no impact on me.
Unlike you, my nose is not bleeding.
Even if a woman stands naked in front of me,
she's nothing but mortal flesh to me.
We're not reprimanding you, we're just concerned.
I was worried you will...
I'm sorry, Siu-Tung!
I'm fine! Please go to bed.
I told you Siu-Tung is not like that.
Why must you make these accusations?
We're his brother, we must ensure he doesn't go astray.
I bet he was set up this time.
Let's go find out
if there are more of these lying around.
Throw them out or it'll upset Siu-Tung.
I need to use the toilet.
(Wong Yi-San on another date)
(Midnight rendezvous)
Bo?
Explain this to me.
What?
It says here you're dating this man.
Who is he?
Where were you?
Michael is my co-star in my next film.
We had dinner to talk about the script.
Terry was there too.
But the paparazzi made up stories
by leaving him out of the picture.
Hi! Sandy, you're on in 10 minutes.
Get ready!
Terry, I'm glad you're here.
Tell Bo whether you were there that day.
Yes! They took pictures? Why?
Nothing. Just asking.
I'll let you get back to work, Terry!
I'll run to the bathroom.
How can you say that to Terry?
He'd think I'm being spiteful.
I don't want you to get the wrong idea.
You know there's a lot of entertaining in this business.
I can't report to you every time I go out with someone.
How hard is it to make a phone call?
I'm from the Ming Dynasty and I grew up studying the Four Books and Five Classics.
I'm old school.
Then you must adjust to a modern woman.
We value personal space.
Even people in love need privacy.
Fine! You want privacy? I'll give it to you.
Enjoy your privacy while I enjoy mine.
Happy now, modern woman?
This Ming Dynasty man is leaving.
PR sent me the design of the booths.
I want to use the setting of a Ming Palace.
Ming Dynasty is right down Bo's alley.
Ask him if you have questions.
Right, Bo? Yes!
We made a bid for 3 stalls.
What do you think? Very good!
Are you alright? Not feeling well?
Or did you have a fight with Sandy?
The same love we share, leaves two hearts in despair!
It leaves my mind but goes to my heart.
Brother Bo, you're such a poet.
But not every girl likes poetry.
Exactly! The way he talks makes me dizzy.
That bad? You must teach me how to woo a girl.
I wouldn't dare teach you anything.
But we can exchange ideas.
The girls I know only care about 2 things.
One, presents.
Two, surprises.
That's simple! They say all women are crazy about diamonds.
I'll buy Yi-San a diamond
Meaning our love is strong like diamonds.
What do you think?
Good idea! I agree.
All women go crazy when they see a diamond.
How are you going to give it to her?
Need any help?
Don't wish to trouble you.
I'll work it with Brother Tai-Kwan and Siu-Tung.
I'll be sure to surprise Yi-San.
Sandy, are you waiting for Bo's call?
He hasn't called in a few days.
So?
He's now a member of the Dynasty management.
Maybe he's very busy.
You must be tired after a full day's filming
Take a nap, I'll wake you when we get home.
Ceci, pick up the phone!
A night of rendezvous,
is better than anything on earth.
If love is meant to last,
There is no need to be together day and night.
Bo, what are you doing here?
Why are you dressed like that?
I've been waiting for you.
Wong Yi-San, you have lied to me long enough.
You don't think I know what's on your mind?
I know everything.
I didn't lie. What do you mean?
Never mind that now.
I must take you with me.
Where are we going?
Miss Wong, we're going back to where we came from.
Come on, let's go.
I'm not going. You can go if you want to.
I'm here and I control my fate.
You won't get away, Miss Wong.
There's no one here, you won't get away.
Come with me. Let's go some place where we belong,
I even brought...
Zuo Guangdou, I'm not going back to the Ming Dynasty with you.
I won't marry a man I don't love.
I don't want to be the Crown Princess.
In here, I'm no longer the Crown Princess.
I am Wong Yi-San,
not Guo Qian, who's at someone else's mercy.
