My True Friend
Episode 34
When I was discussing business with clients, guess who I saw?
Who?
Director Mu!
And Cheng Zhen Zhen. And they were with Mu Mu.
Those who don't know would probably think they were a family of three.
-I— -That's enough. Don't gossip about the leadership behind their back.
Oh, no, I'm not.
This is absolutely not gossip. I saw it with my own eyes.
Cheng Zhen Zhen, this person. On the surface, she appears simple and pure.
But there's more to her. Really.
She'll get close to whoever has ability. You know?
Don't you think? She wants to take her talents elsewhere.
People, climbing the social ladder. She went abroad for a trip and bewitched Jing Ran.
How could I have been so stupid, Manager? So foolish?
-How come I didn't know then with Auntie Bai— -What is the matter with you?
I just told you not to talk about people behind their back.
Use this time to go do work.
-Go input your clients' information. -Okay.
I was just having some fun.
Here, use this. Marubi Elastin Eye Essence.
It's really good. I'll go now.
Chairman, you were looking for me?
I especially came to the Flower Garden branch today
to convince you to assume the position of Big Love CIty's spokesperson.
This is because you
and Shao Peng Cheng initiated this project together.
You understand this project extremely well.
Your image,
personality, status, and background
all meet the requirements of this spokesperson.
Sister Zhen Zhen, I have really missed you.
Aiyo, Mu Mu, your sister has missed you too.
Director Mu.
What are you doing here so late in the evening?
Hui Min.
I'm here...because I want to talk to you about something.
But...
I'll say it.
The time, place, mood that night all mixed together like that,
made for a really fun night.
Don't overthink it. In the daytime, work is work.
Don't worry about it.
-Is that what you think? -Yeah.
That night was really fun. Drinking, talking, listening to music.
I like doing all those things, so I had a lot of fun.
But what if I have different thoughts?
What are you thinking?
Is it inconvenient to talk out here?
Then, shall we talk in your car?
Hui Min.
First, I have to apologize for that night.
No need to apologize to me, I already told you there's nothing to apologize for.
Please wait for me to finish.
I'm not apologizing about us never having anything to do with each other anymore.
I'm apologizing because that night Mu Mu had a fever and I got too nervous.
And I didn't take your feelings into consideration.
And didn't think about how awkward it would be for you.
And I left you there by yourself.
Keep talking.
Actually,
I was outside for a long time, thinking.
We're both adults, and there's no need for us to hide our feelings.
We have all been through setbacks in relationship and marriage.
We know what's right for us.
I admit I like you.
You have walked into my heart before I even noticed.
Maybe since the first time that I drove you home.
I stood there.
Watching you sitting alone.
Watching you crying.
I was heartbroken for you.
And then I got close to you.
I wanted to take care of you.
I wanted to help you.
During which I started to realize,
behind your stone-cold mask,
there is a,
warm and kind
heart.
In the club,
you listened to all the miserable middle age guy so patiently
when you were having your own troubles.
You came to comfort and encourage me when my program got terminated.
These touched me deeply.
Gradually I realized I can't live without you anymore.
But I didn't know how to tell you.
I...
I am in my 40s.
Divorced with a child.
I am really not sure whether I can make you happy.
I know I am not an ideal partner.
What you said just now is...
Is misunderstood by you.
I knew you were divorced with a child since the first time I met you.
You restated your situation in the bar a few days ago.
Do you remember my rection?
You smiled.
Not only did I smile, but I also asked you to carry me out of the bar.
I was expressing that I don't mind.
I like you and that's no one else's matter.
Looks like...
Looks like I overthought.
Hui Min, would you like to
go on the journey with me?
♫
You know what, you look pretty good with makeup on.
Stop it.
Excuse me, I think her makeup is good enough.
I think she looks better with light makeup.
Relax, Mr.Shao, I will make it match Miss Cheng's personality.
Thanks.
♫
Miss Cheng, think about those thriving youngsters.
Smile more confidently, please.
Good.
That it. Smile.
One more. Great.
Perfect! So great!
Come on, give some more.
♫
Mr.Shao, check this out.
♫
Excuse me.
Xi Shan
May I answer this.
Hello? I am shooting.
I have to tell you this now. But you need to promise me that
you won't get mad, please calm down.
What is it?
The official WeChat account
had just posted an article about you.
It says you are a sugar baby.
It also mentions Mr.Jin and Mr.Mu.
And Shao. It claims Shao is the son of Love & Family Real Estate's boss.
I was like, that's nonsense!
But Fu Xiao Ning said it explains everything.
Wait, you are saying Shao Peng Cheng is the son of our boss?
The son of our boss.
I am telling you, Zhen Zhen, that article discriminated you awfully.
Did you make any anemy, Zhen Zhen?
This is slander!
You must declare it to the leadership as quickly as possible.
And then find out who is behind this.
Where did you read it?
The official accounts. I have sent it to you via WeChat.
You should go check it out. But don't flip out.
Fu Xiao Ning, manager and I,
and everyone all believes in you.
I will go read it first. We will talk later.
Love & Family Real Estate
Didn't you just get back from America?
How you ended up like this?
My father got ill.
His company had some troubles.
And then...I...
So I reached to your America branch,
tried to lease out my apartment,
and earned some money. And then you lost all my stuff!
-Why you are here? -What are the odds!
-Hey, Mr.Shao! -Long time no see!
Are you super busy? Go do your thing.
Catch up later! Bye!
Young Mister!
How is going?
Don't call me that.
Why did that guy call you young mister?
Do you mean Li?
It's nothing. It's his habit form work.
He has been a butler. So he calls man Young Mister and calls
And calls women Lady.
Shao Peng Cheng, come with me.
-Listen to me, Zhen Zhen. -Anything you hide from me?
What thing?
Who is your father?
I will explain this to you later.
I just want to know the truth!
You are right. I lied at the beginning.
I didn't get the chance to explain myself after that.
But this does not matter now.
What matters now is that...
You could have just told me the truth.
Why do I have to hear it from someone else?
After all, you just don't trust me.
No, I...
Zhen Zhen, I am sorry.
The headquarters let me inform you to come back and start your suspension.
Why is that, manager? This is clearly a slander!
Calm down, Peng Cheng. I know Zhen Zhen was framed.
But this is from the headquarters. I am just a store manager.
I have to carry out their order.
Go to the headquarters with me.
What？
I will solve this on my own.
During the last meeting, Mr.Shao Jr proposed that
we should have a girl named Cheng Zhen Zhen
to be the spokesperson of our program. Jin Ran objected immediately.
Jin Ran said she is his fiance and soon to be leaving the company.
I was confused at that moment.
Now what. A disaster quickly appears.
I think this is quite odd.
How come Mr.Mu got into this too?
You can't judge a book by its cover, can you?
Ahem.
Today's meeting
is for the negative news of the Big Love City program.
The spokesperson, the person in charge
Yun Pin and Jin Ran are all affected.
I want to know everyone's opinion.
And the PR strategy.
President, the board,
I vouch for my reputation, Cheng Zhen Zhen and I are just normal coworkers.
That article is simply slander.
I believe it was an act of our competitor to sabotage our program.
Yun Pin, the most important thin right now is
the photos of you three with Cheng Zhen Zhen.
They are all over the Internet.
The public opinion is tricky.
I just got a call.
A fund that was going to invest in us,
said they wanted to cease it.
The truth does not matter anymore at this moment.
What matters now is
how to turn the public opinion into our favor.
I think the first thing to do is to stop using her as the spokesperson.
And the have her to apologize to the public.
But doesn't it mean we are owning the article's claim?
Yun Pin, you are also in the article.
Even we all believe you,
can you figure out the relationship
between Peng Cheng, Jin Ran and her?
I can vouch for myself and my relationship with Cheng Zhen Zhen.
But I cannot vouch for others.
Zhen Zhen.
Store Manager, I'm sorry I've caused you trouble.
Don't feel bad, I'm well aware of your character.
I believe that you're innocent.
I also believe that the head office will investigate this thoroughly and clear your name.
The suspension is just temporary, it's just that the investigation will require some time.
I have a clear conscious
so I'll treat the suspension as taking a break from work.
Come here, I have something to tell you.
Zhen Zhen, don't worry,
I'll personally explain this matter to the head office.
I'll also tell all of the stakeholders what kind of person you really are.
If they need witnesses, everyone here at the agency will go testify for you.
That's right, Zhen Zhen. This matter was probably caused
by someone who was jealous that you became the spokesperson.
But Zhen Zhen, we all know that you're not like that.
We believe you.
Do you think this was caused by someone in the industry?
Don't we have two competitors?
Before you came, Hongshi Realty stole our former Store Manager to their branch.
I feel like they might be behind all this too.
But no matter what happens, we support you and will stand on your side.
From how I see it,
even if the competitor is intentionally causing harm,
Zhen Zhen, you also have to blame yourself for being too careless.
I mean, someone took those kinds of photos and even uploaded it to the internet.
And they even wrote all those nasty things...
It causes harm to our company and the project...
Why don't you say less?
Thanks everyone.
I didn't do anything and my conscious is clear.
If someone really wants to frame me,
I can't do anything about it either. But I believe that the truth will come out eventually.
Store Manager, I'll pass my current cases
to Xiao Ning and Xi Shan.
Love & Family Real Estate | Cheng Zhen Zhen
I'm sorry for causing trouble for everyone.
Chairman, stop hesitating.
There's timeliness for PR.
If we pass up this crucial opportunity
it will only get more viral and intense on the internet.
The public will also get more agitated.
So we must announce at the first possible moment
that we've changed the spokesperson.
This is the best decision for the company and for Peng Cheng.
Dad, you can't terminate Cheng Zhen Zhen's employment now.
Isn't that the same as acknowledging the rumors?
I'm not your father here.
We're holding a stakeholder's meeting, let me remind you
to watch your attitude.
Chairman, the situation now is not Cheng Zhen Zhen's termination
but rather that she's taking the initiative to resign. I already represented her
thoughts on resignation to yourself and the company before.
- I request the company to provide an answer immediately. - Jing Ran, I'm warning you,
don't force your own wishes onto Cheng Zhen Zhen, she's never thought about resigning.
Peng Cheng, calm down.
Temporarily remove Cheng Zhen Zhen from the company and the project.
It doesn't mean that she's done anything wrong,
it's just a means of dealing with an emergency.
This is the best decision for Big Love City and the company.
It also protects yourself and Mr. Jing.
Protecting who? You just want to protect yourself.
I'm asking everyone here, don't you know in your hearts that Cheng Zhen Zhen is innocent?
Why is it that in order to protect this project you guys are in such a rush to sacrifice Cheng Zhen Zhen? Why?
Calm down, Peng Cheng.
Shao Peng Cheng, if it weren't for you, Zhen Zhen would not be entangled in this mess.
She must resign immediately to distance herself from this mess.
We will get married. After that, all the rumors will dissolve.
Stop pretending to be a nice guy,
Cheng Zhen Zhen was innocent to begin with, she doesn't need to get married to you.
Moreover, you think she's willing to marry you?
This is a matter between Chen Zhen Zhen and myself.
Who are you to step in?
And I hope you're clear,
that you guys just have a normal colleague relationship.
I hope you don't interfere with our life anymore.
Chairman, about Zhen Zhen's resignation,
I hope the company can react immediately.
I'm sorry, I'll be leaving first.
In comparison to Yun Ping and Jing Ran,
Peng Cheng is still young, he's too reckless.
Peng Cheng, at this point
you have to analyze the situation from the company's perspective.
Don't you think so? Don't just open your mouth
and protect Cheng Zhen Zhen, you have to think of the bigger picture.
- What do you mean think of the bigger—? - Peng Cheng, I will remind you once again
to watch your attitude.
You're already embroiled in negative rumors. As one of the people involved,
you have not reflected, and have not provided any methods to fix the situation.
Is this how a mature person should be handling situations?
I can't stand it.
I completely disagree with what everyone is thinking.
- You— - Save your breath. I didn't even think I could count on you guys.
I'll solve Cheng Zhen Zhen's matter on my own.
Stop right there!
Old Shao! Old Shao!
Chairman! Chairman!
Chairman! Are you ok?
- Hurry and call the ambulance. - Old Shao! Old Shao!
Are you ok?
Shanghai Zhoufu Hospital
ECG: Electrocardiogram
Didn't my dad's annual health checks always go well? Why did he suddenly faint?
What's going on?
You better ask the doctor later.
Love & Family Real Estate Flower Garden Real Estate Anjuke, the complete resource for housing listings.
Zhen Zhen.
- Where's my Cheng Cheng? - Xiao Shao isn't here, what are you doing here?
Cheng Zhen Zhen,
Cheng Zhen Zhen, I'm speaking to you.
It's fine if you're not cautious about yourself
but you caused Cheng Cheng to get in trouble too.
You're such a jinx!
How can you speak like that?
Zhen Zhen did nothing wrong, it's obviously someone else who's trying to create rumors to harm her.
There's 80% that the author of the article is jealous of Zhen Zhen.
And they were so knowledgeable about Xiao Shao's family background.
This makes the suspect pool much smaller.
You're just trying to say that I wrote the article.
I, Luo Zu'er, would never do such wicked things behind someone's back.
And I most definitely would not harm my Cheng Cheng.
As for you guys believing it or not, I don't care.
Cheng Zhen Zhen, you should know now right?
You and Cheng Cheng are from two different worlds.
He's to inherit Love & Family, you better keep your distance from hin.
Then please keep a better eye on him.
Don't let him run around ruining other people.
Cheng Zhen Zhen!
Zhen Zhen,
- Xi Shan, - Zhen Zhen, don't think about silly things when you go home.
Just pretend...just pretend that you're going on vacation.
Thank you, Xi Shan.
I think I'll be able to make it through this.
And I think Xiao Shao wouldn't have hidden his identity on purpose.
He probably had his own reasons.
What kind of reasons could he have?
I don't understand why he had to lie to me.
Didn't Xiao Ning and I hide our romance
and lie to everyone before too, yet you still treat me as a good friend.
Xi Shan, these are two different situations.
Shao Peng Cheng told me before that his dad is sick
and their family has gone bankrupt.
I can't understand, even if he told me he's the Chairman's son,
so what?
I always trusted him the most and thought of him as a very good friend.
But I never thought that all along, he's never trusted me.
Even so, Xiao Shao hid his identity
but he didn't bring any trouble to those around him.
He actually really took care of you.
Every time you're in trouble,
he's always the first one to support you and protect you.
Ok, you're so good when it comes to my matters,
but what about Xiao Ning and yourself?
You're really not planning to get back together?
What are you talking about?
We've been together for so many years,
how could we break up just like that?
It's just that
I'm scared that he'll have a change of heart, that's why I'm always throwing tantrums.
I understand.
You treat him like that because you love him.
If you really care about Xiao Ning,
and want to live happily with him,
you should work through these issues with him.
Don't just throw tantrums.
Old Shao, how do you feel?
Thank you, Old Friend.
You've saved my life once again.
Right now you've temporarily escaped from life-threatening danger.
Peng Cheng is waiting outside, he's really anxious.
I think it's time to tell him about your sickness.
No, there's too much going on at the company right now,
we mustn't let any word get out
that I'm sick.
That's even more reason to tell him, so that he can prepare.
He can take work more seriously.
Old friend,
don't worry, I can still hold my own.
Peng Cheng is growing, I trust he won't make me wait too long.
Peng Cheng's career is just taking off,
I can't have him worry about me
because of my health.
I need to let him
accomplish what he wants to do
without any other concerns.
I'm his father, I need to support him.
I need to back him up.
Director Zhong
Uncle Zhong, what's wrong with my dad? Why did he suddenly faint? What's the reason?
It shouldn't be a big problem.
It's just that the sudden agitation triggered high blood pressure.
He's probably been too exhausted these days without resting well.
Also, in the future, don't anger your father anymore.
I understand. I really shouldn't have spoken back to him like that in front of everyone.
Uncle Zhong, does my dad have any other problems? Please check him thoroughly.
He already did a full body check recently and the results were fine.
It's just that you need to ensure he has adequate rest in the future.
Let him worry less and be angry less, ok?
I understand, thank you, Uncle.
Director Zhong, thanks for your help.
No problem.
Xi Shan! Xi Shan!
Xi Shan! I was wrong!
I promise you, I won't flip houses with Luo Zu'er.
Her and I just have a normal realtor and client relationship, nothing else.
Not in the past, and not in the future.
Why did you suddenly change your mind?
She's not willing to flip houses with you anymore?
No, I heard you speaking with Zhen Zhen.
I know you still have feelings for me. It's the same for me. All these years I've only loved you.
Everything I've done was for you.
I specially went to the most popular store, and bought you a cake.
Everything was my fault, I shouldn't have made you angry and sad.
Fu Xiao Ning, you always say that
but in the end, do you know how you act?
I can't help it.
- I have to earn money, I have to buy you a house. - Buy me a house?
You always say that.
Fu Xiao Ning, I admit that I'm selfish and cowardly.
I feel inferior. Every time I see you and Luo Zu'er together I get especially jealous.
I feel like I'm nothing at all.
I'm always like this because I'm scared of losing you, that's why I'm always suspecting you. I'm afraid of losing you.
Are you afraid of losing me?
I'm afraid of losing you.
Promise me.
No matter who it is, you won't feel inferior to them.
Because I think in this lifetime, you are absolutely the best girl.
I don't care.
Since, in this lifetime I've decided to be with you.
Let's go home.
That's enough, I'm not good at drinking alcohol.
Hey, Mei Li.
Cheers!
It was so hard for the four of us from the same city to get together today,
we have to have a good time!
I can't drink, I can't drink.
Wow, you downed it all?
Nice!
So pretty!
This Hao Mei Li usually doesn't spend one dime, what's gotten into her today?
- She's suddenly gained a charitable heart? - Drink up, drink up! Hurry!
Have a strawberry.
Did you hear, the agency that Mei Li works at
Big news today!
-What? -That Cheng Zhen Zhen from their store!
Oh, that! Her?
The Chairman's son, Special Assistant Mu,
and the interior designer that just returned, all have rumors with her!
I've seen her before.
She is not like that. She is pretty decent.
Dramas come with fame.
It's probably someone who was jealous of her and intentionally making her look bad.
That's why it's better not to be too popular, seriously.
Hey, Mei Li! Mei Li!
- What? - Tell us about Cheng Zhen Zhen.
- Just drink. - Hurry and spill some internal gossip.
What gossip? Are you a gossiper?
What are you so nosy and interested in other people's business?
What does this have to do with you, do you even know her?
- Why are you throwing such a big tantrum? - Who's throwing a tantrum?
Then what are you feeling guilty about?
- Who's feeling guilty? - If you're not guilty then why are you getting so agitated?
- Who's agitated? - What's going on here?
I mean, she's the one who did wrong
and others can't talk about it? She's only been at the company for a little while.
All the good things are given to her.
Hao Mei Li, stop looking down on this and being unsatisfied with that.
- What am I unsatisfied with? - I think you have problems.
- Who has problems? - You have jealousy problems!
Who's jealous? What do you have for me to be jealous about?
- This is hilarious. - You're treating us for the first time in forever, what are you boasting about?
I'm treating, what are you complaining about? If you have money
then you treat! Why didn't you put out any money?
I just won't drink then!
- Stop arguing! - Let's go.
- Throw up everything that you drank! - Let's go.
- Let's go, we're not drinking anymore. - What are you doing!
- Return all the wine that you've drank! - It's ok, Mei Li!
Take a seat.
If she's capable, she'd return all the wine that she's drunk tonight.
I just wanted to treat everyone to drinks and singing.
Isn’t it?
-Don’t be angry! -Calm down!
I spent so much money to buy drinks for you guys.
What did I do wrong? Why am I the one feeling wronged now?
Are you guys friends?
I just wanted to treat you guys to sing, what's with you guys?
What did I do to anger you guys? Why are you arguing with me?
