My True Friend
Episode 32
I'm starting a business with Fu Xiao Ning.
Cheng Zhenzhen, just you wait
Whatever I want, I can get
How could I lose to you?
Miss Luo, I don't quite understand
When did I say I wanted to compete with you?
You just said you're starting a business with Fu Xiao Ning?
That's right. I offer money and he offers the method. We invest in the real estate market together.
I just made a call to my friends who work in the field
They told us that the properties in the countryside of Shanghai are still overpriced yet. It's not too late to enter the market right now.
Is this your own thought or did he agree to it as well?
We've talked about it of course. He was the one came up with it.
I don't agree.
Take your stuff. We don't want it.
What was that for? Why did she get mad at me?
I'm sorry. Xishan!
The board has reached an agreement for the City of Love project.
Peng Cheng, us, elders decided to give you a chance.
From now on, you will be the director of the City of Love project and will be in charge of pushing this forward.
Also...Yun Ping,
because of the new legislation on price changes,
the firsthand real estate market is going to be largely affected.
We the board have decided that we will hold our investment on that for now.
We will wait until this past.
But boss, our preparation for the pre-development is almost ready.
The investment partners, even designers like Mr. Jing has already joined us.
Wouldn't it be a shame to stop right now? Also...
Yun Ping, I understand where you came from.
You spent too much effort on the preparation.
But you need to understand that real estate development is like a huge ship.
Once it's sailed, it's hard to come back.
Also, we've just discussed the possibilities with the partners. There is no decision yet.
We can convince the partners to join the City of Love project.
About Mr. Jing, your job doesn't change.
The City of Love is apartments for rent.
We look forward to a better, perfect design from you.
I respect the company's and the board's decision.
Peng Cheng, this project is on you now.
Peng Cheng is still young. There is a long way for him to go.
From now on, he will need help from us, old guys.
Pay more attention to him.
The boss is right. I still have a lot to learn.
If Peng Cheng can bring Ai Yi Jia to a better future,
of course, we will be happy about it.
Ok ok, he knows.
Stop complimenting him. If you keep doing it, he is going to grow wings.
He is still young and has many things to learn. Hope your old guys
can help him in the future.
Peng Cheng, what else would you like to report to them?
There is one more thing I need to say about the City of Love.
I think this project needs a representative.
He will represent young people who work hard in big cities.
This representative doesn't need to be a celebrity. I think we have a very suitable candidate in our Ai Yu Jia.
She is an employee in the Hua Yuan branch and is also my work partner.
She also started this project.
She spent lots of effort on this project.
She is very honest, kind, and hard-working.
She is just like every other hard-working young people in this city.
Also, I think that her appearance is very appropriate for this project.
If she becomes the representative of this project, I believe that it would make out work for personable.
She will also be more relatable for our clients.
I know this girl.
Chen Zhen Zhen. She is the right person for our project representative.
I'm sorry,
thank you for your recognization, but she can't be the representative.
Why not?
Because Chen Zhen Zhen is my fiance. She will be quitting soon.
We about start preparing for our wedding. Please find another person to be the representative.
Since when did Cheng Zhen Zhen decide to quit?
Was it her decision or is it yours? Why didn't she mention it?
Boss, she will hand in her notice soon.
Peng Cheng, sit down.
-Mr. Jing, I didn't know that Chen Zhen Zhen is your fiance. -Yes.
Now I remembered.
Mr. Jing agreed to join Ai Yu Jia
was because Chen Zhen Zhen went to Italy to invite him.
Ok, the thing about the representative was not on the agenda anyways.
We will discuss it later. Since we've made decisions.
We can talk about the representative next time.
Yun Ping, we've spent the whole morning having this meeting. Everyone must be tired.
Go arrange lunch. The board
will have lunch together and talk some more.
Ok, boss.
Jing Ran!
Did you get Chen Zhen Zhen's permission to hand in her notice?
If you are only doing this to satisfy your own need, I suggest you stop what you are doing. Do you really think that it would make her happy?
Of course, it's for her happiness. Peng Cheng, it's ok if you want to pay this romantic game.
That's your right. But if you drag Chen Zhen Zhen with you to play it,
I'm sorry, I will not agree to it.
Also, if you really care about her,
she has a relationship now. You should be happy for her like a man,
not to disturb her and stress her out.
Do you understand me?
If you really care about her happiness, you really should see things from her perspective!
Xishan! Wait! Xi Shan!
Hello?
Chen Zhen Zhen, Jing Ran said you are going to quit. What does that mean?
I can't talk about it right now. Lu Zu'er and Xishan had a fight. I'm chasing Xishan right now.
Call Fu Xiao Ning and make him call Xishan right now.
Have him go look for her.
What? Hello?
I'm hanging up. Bye.
What was that?
Xiao Ning.
You two hid yourselves well.
When did that happen?
What are you doing here?
I'm super smart and why couldn't I tell?
You are smart, but are you smart enough to see through Fu Xiao Ning's lie?
We've been dating since college.
It's been eight years and he almost got me with his lies.
Fu Xiao Ning, you asked me to keep our relationship secret,
because you are afraid that your female clients would know they would stop being interested in you.
You are afraid that they would stop liking you, right?
Fu Xiao Ning, you asked me to hide.
Are you treating me as a back up?
I've explained to her thousands of times.
What? Was I wrong?
You started investing in real estate with her.
Such a big deal! You didn't even discuss it with me.
One day, you two get your marriage licence.
You are probably not going to tell me, right?
Can you stop talking like this?
So what if I started to invest with her? I just wanted to make more money for us.
She has money and I have skills. Why can't I make money with her?
Money? You are just getting a sugar mommy!
Can't you stop changing the idea of it?
No.
Don't be sad.
How could you and Lu Zu'er...
Lu Zu'er likes you! How does it have anything to do...
Let's not talk about this.
Just investing itself is very dangerous, do you know that?
I know that it's a little dangerous.
But I've been studying the Shanghai countryside real estate market for so many years.
I saw it raise from 1,000 to 20,000. 20,000!
Also the transportation around Shanghai is getting better and better.
The housing price is rising so fast!
The government had information coming out.
If I don't invest now, when can I ever?
Let me tell you, the housing price for the countryside of Shanghai
has gone over the residents' ability of purchase.
There are so many bubbles building up and it's done by outsiders.
Also, the government is coming up with policies.
If one day, the housing price goes back to a reasonable range, the first ones they are going to act on are the ones outside of the cities.
Understood? Have I ever lied to you?
Really. I know that you want to give Xishan a home.
But it's not the best way to do it.
Xiao Nian, just listen to him.
Also, the money you used is from Miss Luo.
Miss Luo is our client. If she loses money, who is going to be responsible for it?
I know that you want to make money to make Xishan's life better, but you need to see it from her perspective.
Look at her. Aren't you doing the opposite of what you are supposed to?
Did you hear that?
I hear it.
Let me tell you. You are a man. You need to be responsible.
What's the use of fighting?
Let me finish.
I was stuck in a meeting all day. I didn't even get to do my work and I have to come take care of you.
I've done my best. Can you?
I can. Go do your thing.
-Be good. -Ok.
We are leaving then.
Let's go.
I need you!
You two, be good.
What's the hurry? Can't you see that they just got better?
Let me ask you, do you know that Jing Ran was trying to quit for you in front of all the executives?
Jing Ran was trying to quit for me?
What's going on with you two?
I don't care what Jing Ran said today. I just want to know what you think.
Yup. Jing Ran did mention quitting.
Auntie Bai also told me that she wants me to quit and be a housewife.
But I haven't decided.
Getting married is something really far away for me. Don't even mention being a housewife.
That's right, I do love Jing Ran.
But I haven't come to a conclusion.
I don't think we should sacrifice ourselves for on another.
It should be supporting each other and let the other person do what she wants.
Seeing each other being happier and better.
I don't know what to do now.
Even if I want to quit, it should be me wanting to quit and hand in the notice myself.
Jing Ran can't represent me.
I will go talk to him.
To be honest, I actually didn't
know that you are about to marry Jing Ran.
I understand. If you two are really getting married,
one can't decide everything.
Zhen Zhen, I still want to tell you what I think.
The City of Love project
was created by us from zero.
You promised me that we are going to finish this project.
We want more young people in this city to have their own homes.
So...so I don't want you to leave.
I certainly don't want you to leave the City of Love.
Also, in today's meeting,
the CEO has agreed to start this project.
Also, I recommended you to be the representative of the City of Love.
I...I be the representative?
That's right. In my mind,
you are the symbol of the hard-working young people in this city.
So, in my heart, this project is the dream of both of us.
Of course,
Jing Ran and you need to decide things for yourselves.
It's your choice if you want to stay or not.
Once you decided, don't forget to tell me.
I'm going.
Mr. Jing.
Hello, Zhen Zhen.
Jing Ran, did you say that I am going to quit in the board meeting?
Don't panic. I will explain later.
Please come in.
Mr. Jing.
[Resignation]
Mr. Jing is so efficient.
-Please sit. -Thank you.
You just mention about quitting this morning.
And you finished the resignation letter after lunch.
Boss, Chen Zhen Zhen and I are about to get married.
She will quit sooner or later.
Chen Zhen Zhen is Ai Yu Jia's employee.
If she wants to quit, she should
hand in the notice to the branch manager.
A company has its own rules.
Now that you've gone over your line and hand in the notice. It's not what the rules allow.
Boss, you are right. It is breaking the rules.
But what I'm concerning about is that the City of Love project is about to start.
If the notice is handed to the branch,
it would affect morale and leads to gossips.
So I decided to report it to you myself. I hope you can permit it.
How about this? I will keep this notice.
But Chen Zhen Zhen has to be the one to decide if she is staying or leaving.
Faster faster.
Over there.
Don't mess up the files.
Faster faster.
What's going on?
Faster.
Director Chen,
what are you guys doing?
Manager Mu.
I hope you can understand.
Didn't Mr. Shao's project gotten passed? He is going to work here.
I have to figure out a proper office.
But the available offices are either small or tiny.
So I have to make some arrangements with our resources.
I try to do it at once.
I found a very good new office for you.
The lighting is good and it's big.
I cleaned it myself this morning.
It's better than this one. How about let me show it to you?
[GM: Mu Yunping]
[Vice GM: Shao Peng cheng]
No need. Keep moving. I respect the company's decision.
Eh.
Boss, you don't need to walk me down.
Here is fine. Thank you for taking care of it.
Goodbye.
Faster faster. Put them down lightly.
Boss.
-What's going on? -Boss.
I was thinking about emptying out a proper office for Director Shao.
Director Shao? Who asked you to do it?
Come here.
Director Chen,
what are you doing?
Changing Director Mu's office.
Did you ask for my permission? What are you trying to do? Sucking up to me?
Do you still want to work here?
I'm sorry, boss. I will switch it back right now.
I will explain it to him.
Right.
You explain to him myself.
Also, no bonus this month. You will tell the accounting yourself.
Darling, darling. Zhen Zhen.
I think we should have a party to celebrate.
I knew that once Xiao Shao is here, the project can be done.
Really, Xiao Shao will be transferring to the headquarters.
Maybe we can get something out of it, too. Right?
Who says I'm going to the headquarter? I can work on the City of Love in this branch.
Let me tell you, don't use my fame to get things for yourself.
This life, I live and I die in this branch.
Zhen Zhen, the company HR just called me saying that
Mr. Jing handed your resignation letter to the CEO for you.
They asked me if you agreed to this. What was that? You need to think it through.
If you really quit, what about the City of Love representative?
Zhen Zhen, why didn't you tell us about quitting?
Xiao Shao. Director Shao.
I still want to congratulate you for being in charge of the City of Love project.
I've always believed in you. I knew that
you are not trapped here forever.
Right? You see that our representative just quit.
How about considering me?
Shut up, will you?
Sit.
Why didn't you talk to me before hand in my notice?
Let's order something to drink. What would you like to drink?
-Waiter. -No need.
I just want to know why are you doing this?
Didn't I discuss it with you?
And we've never had a conclusion.
That's right. I'm your girlfriend.
But you can't just make such big decision for me.
Have you respected my feelings?
Shouldn't you be considering my feelings, too?
Is this project that important to you?
Is it more important than our relationship?
The reality we are facing right now is that my mother is old and she is no longer as healthy as before.
After we get married, we will have kids soon.
We need time and energy to prepare and make arrangements for those things.
I go make money and you manage our home.
Isn't it perfect?
Jing Ran,
I did consider that after finishing the City of Love project,
I will switch to a easier job.
I will have more time for you and your mom.
But I didn't know that you are in such a hurry. The more you are like this, the more afraid I am.
You know that
I like simple things. Including relationships.
Shao Peng Cheng likes you and everyone knows it.
With our relationship now, working in the same company...
Jing Ran!
This is between us and has nothing to do with Shao Peng Cheng.
Also, I hope that you can stop manipulate me in the name of love.
I'm sorry, but you will be disappointed today.
I will tell the corporate HR I'm not quitting.
-Son... -Mom, I want to be alone.
Why are you listening to this song?
I remember that
when you were little, it took you a long time to learn it.
Your father was upset at you because of it.
Tell me, what happened.
I've always just been her dream.
Son, no matte what happens,
I will always be on your side.
♪
If you pick him,
you need to live your life around him.
From the surface,
this kid is polite and sophiscated, but he is stubborn inside.
He is the kind of person who knows what he is doing.
He did learn this from his mother.
I need to say one more thing.
You need to think carefully about your wedding.
Marriage is not just about two people.
It's also about combining two families. Expectation is not enough.
No matter you are a housewife or a career woman,
the most important thing is being happy.
Love on one side and career on the other.
I can't give up either, but
if I have to,
I choose myself. I will not give up my dream.
I will be true to myself.
It's broken.
The pipe started leaking after you left this morning.
I've called the landlord. He hasn't called a plumber yet.
So I had to put a basin there.
That's why we need to make money and buy a house for ourselves,
so we can leave this hellhole.
I understand that you want to make money.
But you need to think about me.
I've told you many times that I don't like you being involved with Luo Zu'er.
I don't want you to have financial exchange with her either.
Also, investing is risky. I don't want you to risk it.
What if you lose all this money?
Are you going to jump off of a building or sell your body?
You really don't believe me?
The housing market in Shanghai is so hot right now.
Even the elders make money from investing.
I'm a professional real estate agent.
Why can't I make money with my skill?
Investing using Luo Zu'er's money is not using your skill.
In other words,
you are using her money to gamble.
To be honest, you don't believe in my professional skill
nor do you believe my morals. You don't believe in our relationship either.
You are just overthinking here.
Since you know that I overthink,
why do you still do things that make me worry?
How many times have I told you?
I don't need you to make much money.
I don't need you to buy me a big house.
It's ok to be renters for the rest of my life.
As long as we are together,
and be happy, it's better than anything.
Do you really think we can be happy living in a little house like this?
The Audi owner was yelling at me the other day.
He said that I'm a little agent from other cities. I'm here to cause traffic in Shanghai.
I felt like I was smaller than an ant.
A house can bring me a sense of belonging somewhere and dignity.
I think I have to buy a house that belongs to us.
Now the opportunity is right in front of me.
I want to go for it.
What if I will never agree to it?
Zhen Zhen, are you home?
Can I come to you?
Xishan? What happened to you?
