I really want to see the result.
Siu-Tung is like the rest of us.
Just a peek, it won't hurt you.
No...
How dare you, Zhang Cheng!
Kneel before the late Emperor's jade pendant.
Zhang Cheng, didn't you hear me?
I told you to kneel! Hurry up!
The late Emperor's pendant is passed down in the royal family.
How dare you try to fish in murky waters!
I will execute you on the spot!
You said the pendant can hold off this lunatic!
I don't know, that's what Sandy said.
Calm down, Director!
She's a regular customer at Fung Ming Gui.
She's just joking, right?
She's my wife's good friend.
On my account, don't lower yourself to her level.
She tried to con me with a fake
and called my name to my face.
I don't think she's an ordinary customer.
You have such a keen eye.
She's more than a regular customer,
and not just Siu-tung's wife's friend.
She's Wong Yi-San, a famous actress.
She has won the newcomer award.
She was rehearsing her lines just now.
Miss Wong, standing in front of you,
is Director Zhang Cheng, whom I have told you about.
Sorry, Director! I was recently cast in a drama about the Ming Dynasty.
What I just said to you were lines from the script.
It was a joke, I hope you don't mind.
I see, Miss Wong is an actress.
I hope you'll refrain from jokes like this again.
If Minister Zuo and Commander Yuan didn't plead your case,
I would have executed you on the spot.
But that jade pendant looks quite real.
It's a prop that looks real only from a distance.
Are they actors too?
I'm Fong Tin, the owner of Fung Ming Gui.
I'm Wan Wai-tai, co-owner.
I see, nice to meet you.
Xiao Li, why don't you greet your father-in-law?
Hello, Father!
You folks from the Ming Dynasty must have catching up to do.
Let's get out of their way.
Brother Tin, Miss Wong, let's go.
No! Since modern men are here with us ancient,
we should have a blast.
Mr. Fong is a heavyweight drinker,
and Mr. Wan is an alcohol strainer.
You met your match tonight.
My limit is 2 glasses.
The doctor said alcohol is bad for me.
Don't be so modest.
Everyone knows how much you can drink.
You won't drink with Director Zhang?
No...
Good! Let's have a showdown.
There's never enough to drink when you're with friends.
Come on...
I'm not only an actress,
I also sell beer for Fung Ming Gui.
I'm also a beer girl.
Let's drink till dawn.
Good! You're one of the boys!
Yuan Chonghuan, Heaven brought me to 2018.
If I don't bring your head back to the Great Ming,
my name is not Zhang Cheng.
Tai-Kwan, where did you meet this guy?
Luckily I remember this news clip... see?
Is it safe to keep that lunatic here?
We should call the Police...
Take it easy, Miss Ling.
Zhang Cheng is a known lunatic from my hometown.
He may look ferocious,
but he's gentle like a rabbit inside.
He's under enormous pressure because he's new in town
and is a little confused.
He's now drinking and chatting with Miss Chi, Master Tin and Master Uncle.
That lunatic is drinking with my husband?
What if he gets drunk?
Why are we stuck in the kitchen,
and leave Chi and Uncle Tin out there?
I'll go get them.
Please take it easy.
Zhang Cheng is a bit crazy, but he's not a psychopath.
We can't bear to see him arrested.
Bo have decided to get him drunk
and he'll be easier to handle.
Are you sure?
Relax! We have Miss Chi's help.
If he has a beer with each of us,
he'll need to drink 6 beers.
Getting him drunk is a matter of time.
You shouldn't stay in the kitchen either.
You should leave through the backdoor.
You call yourselves heavyweight drinker and alcohol strainer?
Now Miss Chi can hold her alcohol.
No wonder you're the beer girl.
She's also good at something else.
Can I challenge you to play the finger guessing game with her?
She's the queen of finger guessing game on this street.
Finger guessing game?
It's similar to the drinkers' wager game of the Great Ming.
The finger guessing game is much more interesting than our wager game.
There are all sorts of variations.
Interesting! Miss Wong, please show me.
Since you're so piqued,
and you're so agile, it won't take long.
Let me show you.
Well?
10... drink up!
What? My fingers are not working.
Drink! Right!
What a shame!
You can really hold your alcohol!
I'll pour you another drink.
5!
10... 15... drink!
What a shame!
You can really hold your alcohol!
I'll pour you another drink.
You're always losing at 10/20.
Let's try something else. Sure!
Say nothing!
Come on...
We count 1... 2... 3...
You lost.
Look in the direction of where I'm pointing.
Good job, Director!
You lose!
By a nose! Drink up and try again.
Good!
Drink up!
Yes!
Right here!
Bravo! Good!
BBQ buns!
I won...
Now Miss Wong must drink.
Yabadaba...
Good job, Director!
You lost by a nose. Drink up and try again.
You'll win the next round.
Impossible!
Drink up!
I didn't lose! Why am I always losing?
Are you in on this to trick me?
I can tell you lost and I'm drunk.
Me too. If you can't drink, I'll drink it for you.
What? You need help?
Drink it now!
I will not yield. A glass of beer is nothing.
Bravo! Yes...
Great!
Good job, Director!
You can really hold your alcohol!
I'll pour you another drink.
Bo, we're almost out.
Go get some more.
Don't spoil Director Zhang's fun.
I'll be right back!
Thank you, Minister Zuo!
Right!
Miss Wong? What?
I keep losing.
You have a different one to teach me?
I'll teach you something easy.
Bangladesh... Roberto...
This is good!
You lost! Drink up!
It's late. Let's go to bed.
Heen, you should leave.
OK, I'm going now.
Chu Ka-heen!
I'll go...
Come here!
What is it?
What did your Shifu show you in the kitchen?
Shifu, please say something.
What's wrong with Ling?
I don't know what you're thinking.
Why won't you give it a try?
What are you doing? We're in the kitchen!
I'm trying to explain to you.
I asked you a question.
What did Siu-Tung show you?
The power went out, I didn't see anything.
Don't play games with me.
You saw something that made your feet give way.
What did you see?
I don't get it. You broke up over a year ago
Why can't you just let it go?
A cook is not worthy of someone of your caliber.
What did you see?
I didn't see anything.
If you insist on going after Shifu,
you'll never be happy. Bye!
He's not responding. He's out.
Think of something.
We're in trouble if he wakes up.
It took almost 100 beers to put him out.
Don't keep him here.
Call the Police! Hurry...
We can't. Zhang Cheng has no clue,
he's bound to shoot of his mouth.
He'll reveal we're from the Ming Dynasty.
He has no identity here.
Why don't you kill him and bury him?
Uncle Tai, you're drunk.
He'll go to jail for murder.
Your Uncle Tai is not entirely wrong.
You have a blood feud with this monster,
as long as you don't kill him in Fung Ming Gui, I don't care.
I came to the Palace as a child.
I owe it to him for placing me with the Directorate of Palace Delicacies.
Can you spare his life?
I can't let him go, I can't kill him.
We can't call the Police... this is tough.
Bo!
He's out?
Bo, I'm glad you're back.
You're resourceful.
Think of something before he wakes up.
I've been thinking when I went out to get more beer.
I remember reading a book about something called the butterfly effect.
Have you heard of it?
A butterfly in the Amazon rainforest flapped its wings
and caused the biggest snow storm in Canada in 100 years.
It's called a chain reaction.
Zhang Cheng is the butterfly.
What are you talking about?
How is Zhang Cheng related to a butterfly?
Everything in the world has its track,
changing the segments will change the track
and in the end change the result.
There'll be no Fung Ming Gui or any of you.
Bo, can you say something we can understand?
Let's deal with this guy first.
Well said, Bo.
It's OK that I don't understand,
but you're the wise man.
I trust your thinking. We'll do it your way.
Thank you for your trust.
I already have a full proof plan.
What's happening?
We were drinking just now.
Xiao Li, untie me right now!
I can't do that.
You're not in prison, you're on the roof.
This is where you'll be staying for a while.
When we sort out how to return to the Ming Dynasty,
we'll bring you with us.
Destiny brought me here.
This is my chance to grow back a penis,
and be a real man again.
Commander, you told me I can be like Xiao Li
get married and start a family.
Why did you tie me up and want to take me back to the Ming Dynasty?
I'm not going back. I want surgery.
You better calm down.
This is not the Eastern Depot, you can't do as you please.
I lied to you about growing back a penis.
How can you believe something so ludicrous?
Shut up, Yuan Chonghuan!
Xiao Li, tell me if he's lying.
If she's not your wife, why would she risk her life to save yours?
I'm still a castrated man, inside and out.
What I didn't have before, I still don't have it now.
Miss Ling and I are not married.
What's between us is called platonic love.
What does that mean?
You're lying to me.
If you don't believe me,
you can check my body to be sure.
Get lost! How dare you lie to me!
I'll tell the Emperor and have you executed.
As the head of the castrated gang,
wanting to regrow a penis is against the law.
I'm afraid you'll be executed first.
There's no need to get all excited.
We'll save our quarrel for the Ming Dynasty.
It wasn't our choice to travel through time,
why not take this opportunity to enjoy the pleasures of modern civilization?
This amazing device is called a TV.
It's the best thing for killing time.
It can help reduce the pain of being incarcerated.
Here's the remote, go figure.
Siu-Tung, we're putting you in charge.
Yes, Brother Tai-Kwan.
Clove powder?
Wrong again! It's nutmeg.
He was only right about 2 seasonings.
I suspect even that was dumb luck.
Let's continue, I'm beginning to taste something.
Heen, go fetch more seasonings from the kitchen.
Shifu, take a break.
You'll ruin your tongue if you overdo it.
Siu-Tung, it's OK even if you can't cook for the time being.
As long as you're doing your part for Fung Ming Gui,
any position is just the same.
I let you down, I failed to watch the kitchen.
When I regain my sense of taste, I'll repay you the best I can.
We understand. When you recover,
we'll get rid of the chef and put you back in charge.
Uncle Tin, no need to hire a head chef. I'll do it.
Shifu, until you have fully recovered,
I'll take your place as the head chef of Fung Ming Gui.
I appreciate the thought, but you're not up to par yet.
Shifu, I know I'm not good enough,
but with you guiding me, my cooking will be presentable.
Leave the kitchen to me.
You shouldn't be cooped up in the kitchen.
If we let you do it,
how can we ever face your Father?
Though you're not in control, you're still the heir.
We can't banish you to the kitchen and be a cook.
Heen, I know you want to help us.
You can do this when you're free.
Don't do this full time.
Dynasty belongs to your Dad.
You must hold that position for him until he gets out.
I want to quit Dynasty, Uncle Tin.
Please give me a place to hide.
What has Cheuk Wah done now?
You can level with us.
Samuel told me if I were to stay,
either I help him buy up Fung Ming Gui
or banish me up north to develop the Mainland market.
He won't let me stay.
Don't listen to that scumbag.
Your Dad owns Dynasty, don't listen to him.
It's not enough the scumbag usurped the Chairman position.
Now he wants to gobble up Fung Ming Gui.
If we stand firm, what can he do to us?
We'll back you up.
Before we find a head chef,
Siu-Tung, keep trying.
Let's try again...
Try this... what is this?
Flour? Wrong!
Cheuk Wah, you promised to leave Fung Ming Gui alone for 3 years.
But you went back on your word.
Today, I'll settle the score with you.
Get off the street!
Sorry...
The jade pendant was useless. I'm giving it back.
He was so drunk he didn't recognize it.
Where is Zhang Cheng now?
Tai-Kwan chained him up on the roof.
Chains? What if they broke?
Why didn't you call the Police?
At least the Police have guns.
Zhang Cheng's kung fu is useless.
We considered that.
But if Zhang Cheng started to shoot off his mouth to the Police,
it'll only make the Police go after Tai-Kwan.
Yuan Chonghuan has killed before on the battlefield, why doesn't he...
This is not the Ming Dynasty.
In Hong Kong, you'll go to jail for murder.
Relax! I checked on him this morning.
The chains are fine. He won't get away.
I hope so too.
But he breaks loose, not only Tai-Kwan and his brothers are in trouble,
you and Fung Ming Gui are also in trouble.
Don't scare me.
I have something to show you.
The history of Ming?
Turn to Chapter 28, page 143
about year 20 of the Wanli Era.
Year 20 of the Wanli Era,
the second year after Zhang Cheng headed up the Eastern Depot,
the Imperial Censor of Jiangnan was one tael of silver short
in the taxes he submitted to the Eastern Depot.
Zhang Cheng killed him and 22 members of his family.
That's how spiteful he is.
He turned the Ming Dynasty upside down.
Imagine what he can do to Fung Ming Gui.
We'll be OK...
Siu-Tung is watching him round the clock.
Bo and Tai-Kwan will keep an eye on him too.
Unless Zhang Cheng knows magic and breaks himself loose.
In case Zhang Cheng gets away,
you can still use this jade pendant.
How? He wasn't scared of it yesterday.
It can send him away, not scare him.
This jade pendant can take him back to the Ming Dynasty.
What? Take him back?
You knew how to go back?
When I ended up in Foshan,
I discovered it by accident.
Get out! You're behind in your rent.
I missed you very much, my dear!
Give me a kiss...
You're so naughty, Your Highness!
Did you miss us, Your Highness?
The Crown Prince? How did I end up back here?
I can't wait to have you in my arms.
Can you go a bit faster?
When can I get back to Ciqing Palace?
I'm sorry, Your Highness!
He made me the Crown Princess,
but I don't love him at all.
Obviously I didn't expect him to be dedicated to me alone.
But I didn't expect him to hold other women in his arms
only one month after he buried me.
The Crown Prince Tai-Kwan and Bo wanted to help
is nothing but a womanizing jerk?
You made the right decision to stay.
A woman doesn't need a man.
It took me all night to decide
if I want to stay and be the Crown Princess
or come back to 2017 and be Wong Yi-San.
By dawn, I chose the latter.
How did you come back?
What's the use of the jade pendant?
On my way back to the Ming Dynasty,
I accidentally dripped blood onto the jade pendant.
When I was back there,
I dripped blood on it again
and it brought me back to 2017.
The jade pendant is a door between the Ming Dynasty and modern day.
Drip some blood on it
and it becomes a key that opens the door.
That means when those three came through the cloud forest,
it was also because of the pendant.
If I'm not mistaken,
we didn't travel through time because of the cloud forest.
I remember before we entered the cloud forest,
one of the assassins was aiming for my heart...
There's something fishy about the cloud forest.
We better get out, Your Highness...
Your Highness...
They thought there was something fishy about the cloud forest,
when all along the secret power came from the jade pendant.
Don't let them know the way back.
Or else they'd be gone in a second.
That's why you should keep it and don't tell anyone.
Unless Zhang Cheng gets away,
and he comes back to Fung Ming Gui for his revenge
and Tai-Kwan can't hold him off,
or else I won't use this pendant to send him back to the Ming Dynasty.
Did you send next year's promotion budget to Finance?
How come I have never seen it before?
Who approved the amount?
You said it was OK when I showed it to you last week.
You also said there's no need to bring it up at the meeting
and I should send it directly to Finance.
I never said that.
Has anyone heard me say anything about this budget?
Mr. Fung was there the other day. Ask him.
Bo, have you seen me read this proposal?
Did I say Yiu-yiu's proposal was OK?
No. I believe Miss Chu is mistaken.
Fine. So I made a mistake.
I'll tell Finance to put a hold on it.
Yiu-yiu, times have changed.
Dynasty is now a listed company,
not a family business of the Chus.
Even though we're related,
I won't take your side.
Don't make the stupid mistake of doing anything you please.
We're done for this meeting. You can go.
I need to speak to Mr. Cheuk.
Yiu-yiu, stay! I need to talk to you.
What is it, Mr. Cheuk?
Ivan left this letter of resignation on my desk this morning.
I want to know why he wants to quit.
Is he that unhappy working here?
Don't tell me you don't know.
Since you became the Chairman,
you shipped him up north right away to open new restaurants.
You know exactly how much time he spends in Hong Kong.
Last night when he asked me if he should quit,
I said yes without even thinking.
You know why? Because I want to see more of my brother.
Mr. Cheuk wants Ivan to get to know the China market better.
Dynasty's development will be up north.
The sooner he gets used to it the better.
I know what both of you are thinking.
You should be thrilled there's one less Chu to deal with in Dynasty.
We're related, I didn't want things to come to this.
If you agree with Ivan's decision, I won't object either.
Since you're the last Chu left,
I have a suggestion for you.
Before your Dad went to jail,
he gave the power of attorney of his shares to Auntie Kiu.
Go home and tell her to sell them.
If you asked me to stay because you want me to persuade Mom to sell her shares,
I can tell you now, no way!
Please reconsider, Miss Chu.
Mr. Cheuk's suggestion is for your own good.
When your father gets out,
he won't be interested in running Dynasty.
Your Mom would rather babysit than come to work.
And Ivan... you know he likes the kitchen more than he likes the office.
In that case, why hang onto those shares?
Mr. Cheuk found a buyer who has an offer you'll like.
We're not selling at any price.
The whole family is pig-headed.
What's the point of hanging onto those shares?
They'll only piss me off and I'll kick them out.
Everything has a price.
They'll give in when the price is right.
We must sort out the shares before Chu Kwok-fung gets out.
Mr. Cheuk, Wan Tai-Kwan wants to see you.
He's downstairs in the lobby.
What does the mad dog want now?
Zita, tell Security to get rid of him.
Yes, Mr. Fung!
No! Send him up to the podium.
Wait here, Mr. Cheuk will be with you shortly.
Hello, Bo?
I missed you, Yuan Chonghuan.
Why can't you be more like your brother?
As the CEO of Dynasty, Bo only reports to me
You can do the same.
Why won't you leave me alone?
We have very little common ground.
I'm sorry I didn't kill you a year ago
and gave you the chance to wreak havoc at Fung Ming Gui.
You forced young Master Chu
to force the Fongs to sell Fung Ming Gui.
You're dreaming.
You want me to go easy on the Fongs?
OK, I'll do it on one condition.
As long as I can save Fung Ming Gui
and it's not against reason and nature,
I'll agree to it.
My request is simple. Showtime for you.
You were once our Director of Security.
I hired a few new colleagues who claimed to be unbeatable.
I want you to try them out for me.
Fine!
Let them beat you for 10 minutes without fighting back.
Let's see if they can knock you off your feet and keep you down.
If you can get back up,
I promise I'll leave Fung Ming Gui alone
and won't mess with the Fongs again.
You have a deal.
Let's get started now. Showtime!
What show?
Don't tell me you feel sorry for him.
This mad dog will only get in our way.
I don't feel sorry for him. I just don't understand him.
Why must he cling onto Fung Ming Gui?
This is the 21st century. We use our brains.
What was done in the Ming Dynasty is passe.
Stop!
What's wrong with you? He's still standing after 10 minutes.
You bragged about how brilliant you are.
Cheuk Wah, don't forget what you promised me
I'm good for my word.
I said... oh, there's one more minute to go!
Bo, your turn.
Thank you, Mr. Cheuk!
One minute will be over soon. Make sure he can't stand up.
40 seconds...
20 seconds...
10 seconds.
5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
What a tough guy! I'm impressed.
I should have said 20 minutes.
Cheuk Wah, leave Fung Ming Gui and the Fongs alone.
You have my word.
Bo, do you know why the buyer is willing to pay 30% higher than market price?
Not every restaurant under the Dynasty Group is making money.
They don't care about the Hong Kong market.
They want to break into the China market with the Dynasty brand.
Bingo! That's why 30% is not enough.
I want at least 50% more.
But Chu Kwok-fung is not selling.
He's the biggest shareholder, his decision is crucial to this deal.
They refused because the price is not right.
They'll be tempted if I give them a better offer in a day or two.
I'm having lunch with lawyers working on this deal.
You should come too. I want you more involved.
Sorry, I have things to do.
A date with Sandy?
OK, keep your date, but don't do it again.
Work should come first.
Brother Tai-Kwan! Are you OK?
Don't worry! I'm not dead yet.
I still want to go back to the Ming Dynasty.
I'm so sorry, every time I hit you with the stick,
my heart was aching.
That minute was long like a year.
Don't blame yourself!
I know you had no choice.
How else can you convince that scumbag you're on his side?
I beat up someone closest to me.
I'll be struck down by thunder for sure.
Don't fuss! I'll explain to the Thunder God.
If he won't listen, I'll try my Immeasurable Ocean on him.
You were quite vicious for a scholar.
I watched Ip Man's Wing Chun online
and also Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do.
I now know a thing or two about kung fu.
But you hit me with a stick.
How is that related to Ip Man or Bruce Lee?
No relation. I hit at random when I panicked.
