My True Friend
Episode 47
Zhao Zhi Guo just now said to me,
Last month, he did indeed go to ShangHai. Why did he go?
He went to transfer blood with his brother.
Why would they do this?
Is it really because of leukemia, that they met us?
I don't think that's the case.
But I also don't understand what he's trying to get at by doing this.
I think we should still head back to Shanghai tomorrow and ask Zhao Jian Guo.
Listen to his side. Then we'll know.
Anyway, I think we gained a lot from this trip. At least we know
that Zhao Jian Guo is really lying. Right?
Go to sleep now. We have to wake up early tomorrow.
Hurry.
Okay. I'll go sleep now.
Good night.
Is it really okay for you to sleep on a chair?
You have to drive for several hours tomorrow.
Why don't you...
Fine, I'll come sleep beside you.
Who said that?
No, I can't sleep on the floor.
I meant that
- I was going to give you a blanket and then you can sleep on the floor. - No, you don't need to!
- Hey, no! - Lie down, hurry. Don't move.
No, what are you doing? Get on the floor!
- Take the blanket too! - No, I'm using the blanket right now.
- My back will hurt tomorrow. - Hey, don't mention that now.
Then what am I supposed to mention?
Hey, be quiet. People will suspect something else is going on.
Okay, then let's be quiet.
- Be quiet, be quiet. - Hey, stop moving around.
- How am I moving? - Stop it!
- Why are you stripping down? - What?
- How dare you take off your clothes? - Nonsense, who sleeps with their clothes on? I'm taking it off.
I told you not to put your hand underneath my pillow.
Your wrist is sore now, right?
Let me drive and rest.
Do you know the old saying? It goes, "There's happiness in pain."
You're really a lost case.
Rub it for me. Hurry up.
Rub what? Focus on driving.
- Hurry up and rub it! - Focus on driving.
- Just rub it. What's wrong with that— - Please focus on driving.
Don't move!
What? What are you doing? Cheng Zhen Zhen, I'm going to be really angry.
Focus on the road. Be careful.
- Zhen Zhen, what are you doing? - Don't move, don't move.
Hey stop it. What are you doing?
What are you doing? What even is this?
I'll get my revenge. I look like a calabash doll.
Mr. Jing, we just received the news
that the foreman of your company's City of Love project has been officially diagnosed with leukemia.
This is a serious matter. What will Love & Family do to remedy the situation?
Mr. Jing, which of the materials used for renovation were bad, or were all the materials problematic?
Mr. Jing, Love & Family has always prided itself on
genuine service and quality first. And now this heinous incident has occurred,
should the person in charge of your company come forward to explain this matter?
Jing Ran
Hello, Jing Ran.
How is the situation on your side? Have you found the evidence?
We found evidence. Zhao Jian Guo got leukemia before he joined our company.
His cousin helped him with his entrance medical exam.
Right now, headquarters is swarming with reporters.
They're very emotional and keep pressing for an explanation.
Okay, you hold back the press for a bit.
Tell the reporters that we have investigated this already. We are reaching soon.
Alright.
Then you guys hurry over here. Be careful on the road. See you in a while.
Okay. See you in a while.
Cheng Zhen Zhen. Hurry up and take it out!
Could you elaborate some more?
- Mr. Jing, please give us an explanation. - Um, reporters.
I'm Love & Family's main manager.
I'm going to represent the company and say a few words.
The City of Love project wasn't even approved by the board of directors.
Also, its funding did not come from Love and Family.
In other words, it was only the former president's son,
Shao Peng Cheng's own individual actions.
How can you say that to the press? Aren't you just pushing Shao Peng Cheng to the front of the line?
It was his own doing all along.
For the sake of Love and Family, this is the only thing we can do.
What do you mean it was his own-
-You mean— -Please clarify—
- Please tell us what's going on! - Please elaborate some more.
Hey guys, please back up a little. Be careful please.
Everyone quieten down and listen to me.
I just had a call with our project director, Mr. Shao Peng Cheng.
He has already found the right evidence to prove that we are innocent.
Please everyone keep calm and return to your seats. We can slowly discuss.
Here, everyone please return to your seats.
We will answer all your questions, alright?
Mr. Jing, can you reveal to us what key evidence did Mr. Shao find?
Mr. Shao, Mr. Shao.
Mr. Shao, Mr. Shao. We heard you've already found the truth behind the situation. Can you tell us?
I and the project's spokesperson, Ms. Chen Zheng Zheng, have already found the key evidence.
Zhao Jian Guo's leukemia has nothing to do with our City of Love's renovation.
Who is Shao Peng Cheng?
I am Shao Peng Cheng.
Hello, we are from the District Environmental Inspection Team.
We received a report from the City of Love project's section chief, Zhao Jian Guo.
He said the materials meant for the renovation was kept in a contaminated environment and caused him to get leukemia.
You're the one in charge of the project. Please come with us so that we can learn more about this matter.
Wait a minute.
Zhao Jian Guo having leukemia has absolutely nothing to do with us.
Chen Zheng Zheng, don't worry.
I'm just going to clarify the situation with them. You guys wait for me near the Hua Yuan store.
It's okay.
Hey, Mr. Shao. Can you please explain the situation with the renovation materials?
Everyone, please stay back.
[Love and Family]
How can someone just make a report using their real name ?
He is clearly framing people on purpose!
Jing Ran, didn't you send all the materials for a quality inspection? When will the report come out?
Once that report comes out, let's see what those evil scumbags will have to say then.
I already asked this morning. It should be today.
Don't be anxious. The moment it comes out, I will immediately bring the report
and explain the situation to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Alright.
It's the quality inspection center.
Hello.
Yes, I am Jing Ran. Go on.
What?
Okay, I understand. Thank you.
What's wrong?
The results came out. Our materials are severely contaminated.
Contaminated?
- How is that possible? - Right?
Which part of the materials is contaminated?
They said all of our wooden materials have exceeded normal levels of formaldehyde.
They also might have other harmful chemicals.
All of our wooden materials have gone through strict screening and control.
How can they be contaminated?
Yes, I'm thinking the same.
All of our building materials come from well-known brand manufacturers.
I can promise that they meet all the international E1
environmental standards. And the manufacturers directly delivered them from the factory.
When it came into the warehouse, I even personally checked on them. There shouldn't be any problems with the materials.
Jing Ran, do you still remember the whole random sampling process the other day?
Are you sure they were inspecting our materials?
That day, I was the one who accompanied the quality inspector and went into the warehouse, then...
That's not right. Because I was filling out the form, I didn't go into the warehouse.
I suspect all of the materials in the warehouse have been switched,
so that's why the ultimate report showed they did not meet the standards.
Let's quickly go to the warehouse and take a look.
Out-patient
What are you doing?
You know what happened with City of Love today.
The police took Shao Peng Cheng away.
How are you still so calm?
What else can I do?
Shao Peng Cheng told us to take good care of Mr. Zhao.
We have to be responsible and diligent.
Are you dumb?
We're just real estate agents. We earn money based on our performance.
How great is this. We're stuck here watching over a sick patient.
If this goes till the end of the month, we won't have had one single account.
You want to wait until we're cold and hungry, is that it?
Well, City of Love is just having some difficulties right now.
Shao Peng Cheng has treated us both really well.
Now that he is in trouble, we should help him out.
Isn't it that people shouldn't go back on their words?
How can one be so stubborn?
I already called the store before.
Hao Mei Li said everyone in the store is very worried and don't know what to do.
They're waiting to go their separate ways.
Hey, wait. What are you doing?
Fu Xiao Ning, I'm telling you. If you want to stay, stay by yourself. I'm not staying with you.
This project is ruined and the store has been torn apart.
It's just us two. Just us two left
to take care of this patient who has nothing to do with us. What is this, Fu Xiao Ning?
If you're leaving, you should at least let him know.
Let me tell you again. You aren't just on your own. You have a family to feed!
What goes on in your mind all day?
Mr. Zhao, there's an emergency at the store so we'll have to go back first.
- Okay. - Remember to take your medicine. If you have any problems, call the doctor.
Then I'll make a move first.
I need to tell you first.
In the future, we might not be coming anymore.
Alright, it's okay. You go do what you have to do.
If there's anything, I will call the nurse.
Alright. Take care of yourself.
Okay.
[Secretary Zhou]
Gentlemen, that's about it regarding our project.
Sorry.
I have a very important call that I have to answer outside. Excuse me for a bit.
Hello, go on.
Uhm the thing is... Secretary Zhou,
look. I finished doing all the stuff that you asked me to do.
Where are you right now? I will go over and l-look for you. Let's finish the rest of what we have to do.
Why are you in a hurry?
Now is not the time for us to meet. What I've promised you, I will definitely do it.
Why must you rush now when the tension is rising?
Once the tension is over, I will directly reach out to you.
No, S-secretary Zhou. Look, I've been diagnosed with leukemia.
It's terminal illness. I can't live for any more days. I—
I can die at any moment.
I went against my conscience and helped you with something this big.
Isn't it just so... so I can leave my wife and kids with more?
Until now you are still telling me this. Y-Y-You cannot go back on your word.
You can't bully others like this.
Hey, Mr. Zhao. How can you say it like that?
When doing big things, you have to have patience.
Wait for me. I'll definitely go and find you.
No, Secretary Zhou. It's you guys who want to do big things.
I don't want to do any sort of big things. I'm telling you.
You-you. What you're doing is getting rid of someone after they've become useless.
I'll go to your company and look for you now.
I'll make a ruckus at your company.
How about this? I'll send the address to your phone.
We will meet over there one hour later.
When you come over, be more careful. Don't let anyone follow you.
You can be rest assured. As compared to you, I'm more frightened to be seen by others.
Send it now!
My goodness!
Jing Ran, is this the material we ordered?
Look! This—
This is -
It has all been secretly replaced.
Secretly replaced?
That means we can't explain any of this situation.
Looks like this whole situation was planned out by one person.
This person is probably Zhao Jian Guo.
When we were about to start work, he came over to look for me.
He said his family background is not good, so he wanted to apply to be the warehouse chief and make a little bit more money.
Then he said he was the section chief, so he should be responsible for the materials here.
So other people should not be looking after this warehouse.
At the time, I thought he was very sincere.
so I agreed. It seems like
I trusted him too easily.
No wonder, he wanted someone to replace him when the company was going under inspection.
I think it isn't just as simple as
suffering leukemia. He definitely has another motive. You guys think.
So many materials. Even an ordinary person
will not be able to change all these by himself.
He definitely must have planned it ahead of time and purposely harm us.
But we have no bad blood with him. Why would he purposely set us up?
And even if he was only trying to lie and get us to pay his medical fees,
he wouldn't need to spend so much effort to switch all the materials.
The money used to change these materials is enough for him to seek treatment.
But why?
The one behind Zhao Jian Guo is Hong Shi Real Estate Company.
Manager?
This was all instructed by Hong Shi. They had already bribed Zhao Jian Guo.
The reason... was just to destroy City of Love project.
They wanted to push for their own rental apartments before City of Love.
You're Hong Shi's current vice president. Why are you coming over to tell us this?
We already resigned from Hong Shi.
They originally wanted Yun Ping to instruct Zhao Jian Guo to do these things,
but this goes against his moral principles.
So in the end, we can only leave.
It seems like what Shao Peng Cheng said is true.
This matter is not that simple.
Then what should we do now?
Hui Min, how about this? Bring everyone over and
find a way to convince Zhao Jian Guo to confess and reveal the truth to the press.
Zhen Zhen and I will go to the inspection team and bring back Peng Cheng.
Then we can discuss how to defend ourselves against Hong Shi and ask for compensation.
- Alright. - Wait!
Vice President Mu. If you do this, Hong Shi's President Sun
will hate you forever.
And our Love and Family team and board of directors
would not repay you.
Are you sure you want to help us?
I'm sure. Everything started because of me.
I caused you so much harm on you guys and Love and Family. I must take the blame.
I went to Hong Shi in order to fulfill my long-time ambition in the real estate world, but things have turned out not as I wished.
Hong Shi's actions have severely went over the limits of normal market competition.
And it is also something I cannot and will not tolerate.
So I will definitely think of a way to prove your innocence and reveal the truth
as compensation.
Let's go.
- Sir, follow that car in front of us. - Okay.
This old fox is pretty sly. Even made twist and turns.
Alright, today let's see who has more patience.
Slowly, slowly.
K-keep following him.
Evil.
- Secretary Zhou. - Why did you only get here now?
- Isn't this all because of traffic? I went around half the day just...
Alright, alright. I'm just saying why are you in such a rush now? Why are you calling me at this time?
I-it's just I'm worried.
Here, the money is in here.
Count it.
I probably don't need to count it.
Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. I definitely wouldn't give you less.
No way there's less. There is definitely no way that it's less.
Alright, alright.
W-what else? This bag... I'll send over this bag later.
You don't have to send it back. Just quickly take the money and leave alright?
When you go back, be more careful.
- Alright? - Thank you.
- Shaking hands? Hurry. - Okay, I'm leaving.
[Police]
Zhen Zhen, Peng Cheng is fine, so don't worry.
I've already asked around. The supervision chief just wanted to find out the situation from him.
- He can come out very soon. - Thank you, Director Mu.
Actually, life is a journey of understanding yourself.
On this journey, you might feel confused and lost,
or conceited. Like myself.
In the beginning, I was high-spirited, but now I'm frustrated.
In the middle of this, I suffered so many pain that nobody knows about
and despair.
Sometimes, I wonder which is my true self.
The smug, complacent me of my youth,
or the Director Mu I am right now that blindly follows the crowd.
Director Mu, don't be too hard on yourself.
We're all mortals.
Nobody can escape the secularity.
As long as you can maintain your original intentions,
and honestly face yourself and everyone else,
you can find your own path.
Right. You're right.
It's very simple. Return to the truth.
How are you? Are you okay?
I'm fine. What could happen to me?
They just want us to stop construction, and then pay a fine.
This time, I really will be poor.
Peng Cheng, let's go back to the Flower Garden.
Director Mu and the store manager already resigned from Hong Shi. He told us
Hong Shi has been behind Zhao Jian Guo's accusations.
Originally, Director Sun wanted Director Mu to handle Zhao Jian Guo,
but Director Mu refused. They just wanted to destroy City of Love
and launch their youth apartments before us.
I'm a little hungry. Zhen Zhen, why don't we go get something to eat?
Sure. Let's go.
Thank you.
Give it to that gentleman.
Take a look, see what you want to eat.
I'll go out and see what's good here. You two talk.
-Lead the way, please. -Sure.
I've actually been wanting to talk to you for some time now.
About going to Hong Shi, I let the chairman down.
I let Love & Family down. And I let you down.
Mu Yun Ping, the forgiveness you're asking for isn't from me.
It should be from my father.
Changing jobs, resigning, these are normal things.
But you threw away so many years of friendship.
You chose to leave the company during a time of crisis.
You didn't just ruin the relationship between you and my father.
You ruined the respect people had for you.
What's more is, the idea for Youth Apartments is just a business model.
It doesn't matter who copied it.
Because no one can understand
the essence of the project like I do.
Thank you for telling me this.
I know that I owe the chairman an apology.
I will go to him and ask for his forgiveness in person.
While I was with Zhen Zhen today, what they said shows I can't escape blame for the problems you've had.
I'll do everything I can to make sure the truth comes out;
help Love and Family recoup their losses.
You worked with my father for over twenty years.
So many years of feelings, no matter what problems arise in the business,
I wouldn't want them to separate you two. But this time,
you really hurt him deeply.
I came to Love and Family when I graduated from university.
From the time began working, it was with your father; and that lasted for so many years.
He was like an older brother to me. The feelings
between the chairman and I and Love and Family...most people wouldn't understand.
I admit that I am a proud person. The company denied all the painstaking work I put into real estate development.
I couldn't reconcile myself to changing from the real estate market to youth apartment housing. I left because I wanted to show that I was right about that.
So I couldn't believe when reality showed me
your choice was a trend that is advancing our industry.
During the time I've been gone, I've done an honest reflection of myself, our industry, our society.
I discovered that I don't have an inherent courage, insight, and boldness.
All that I achieved up to now...has all been due to your father.
If it weren't for him, there wouldn't be today's Mu Yun Ping.
He is truly a giant.
Look at the time, and he still isn't back.
I thought you should be back. We're dying of nerves here. Hurry, sit down and rest a minute.
How did it go?
I brought such important evidence back with me.
Don't you want to line the streets to welcome me back?
Outstanding hero. Hurry up.
Let us see it. Tell us the truth.
It's so exciting.
I find that I have a natural gift for spying.
I got such a clear shot, and they didn't notice me at all.
The money is all there. You can count it.
-I don't need to count it. -Okay, don't count it.
-I wouldn't shortchange you. -Of course you wouldn't.
Thank you.
My goodness, this is like watching the movies.
They really are sparing no cost in order to destroy us.
Are Hong Shi's Secretary Zhou and Zhao Jian Guo crazy?
Xiao Ning, you're so awesome. You got such a clear shot without being discovered.
So great!
We have such a significant piece of video evidence, they can't deny it now.
Do you think we should call the police immediately?
No one call the police.
Why not?
Right now, we have undeniable evidence.
Are you afraid we can't convict them for their crimes? This one offense.
Maliciously slandering a business. That can put them away for a few years.
It's precisely because they went against the law
that we can't alert the police.
Do you have some misgivings?
Think about it, if we bring the police in now,
the first to shoulder the responsibility would be Zhao Jian Guo.
He is already seriously ill.
If he were to be sentenced now, it would only make things worse for his family.
If that were to happen, it would go against my original intentions.
Xiao Shao, I never knew that you were this kind, this soft-hearted.
But they've already messed with us to these depths.
It's difficult to advance the City of Love project now.
We can't just let them go.
Isn't there an old saying? "Anyone can make mistakes, forgive them when possible."
I believe deep down Zhao Jian Guo is uneasy
having done all these shameful deeds.
Tomorrow, we'll go see him and have a chat with him.
I believe he will repent.
No matter how we punish Zhao Jian Guo,
there's no recovering our losses.
The Bureau of Environmental Protection already ordered us to stop construction and fined us.
They also required that we deal with all the contaminated materials
and get rid of the formaldehyde on site.
I think first we need to find the good materials that were swapped out by Zhao Jian Guo.
Minimize our losses.
And then have him admit in a public setting
that because he got sick, he falsely accused us of using contaminated materials
so the company could cover the cost of his treatment.
Most importantly, we must investigate Hong Shi's part in all this
and hold them accountable for all our economic losses.
Zhen Zhen's right. So Zhao Jian Guo's punishment for receiving Hong Shi's bribe to switch out our materials
will depend on his response tomorrow.
If he still persists in this lie, then it won't be too late to alert the police.
Peng Cheng, today you let me see the presence and demeanor
that a boss should have.
Director Shao, I've decided.
From here on out, I will steadfastly follow you.
To have such a kind boss,
I would never fear you mistreating me in the future.
-What? -Are you hoping that Peng Cheng makes a fortune in the future?
Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. What's wrong with that?
I'm not as hypocritical as you, right?
In the future, I want to stand under the shade of Director Shao's tree.
Work for him for the rest of my life.
Are you cold?
Just a little bit.
You knew it was going to rain today, and yet you still choose to not drive. How is this romantic?
What do you mean? This is exactly what's romantic.
Where are you going?
Hello sir, how much for the sweet potatoes?
I'm about to close the store, so I'll give you a discount. It's only five yuan for one.
- Five? Here. - Yes.
Okay. Which one would you like?
- How about this one? - This one?
What are you doing? Come here.
Stop kidding around.
If you lost, then come run over here.
If I lost, then I'll run over there and eat the entire sweet potato.
Rock, paper, scissors!

♫ Hey, I know you know our hearts getting close ♫

♫ We can’t deny, it’s real ♫
♫ All my life searching ♫
♫ Now I know, I found you ♫
[Shanghai Therapy Hospital]
Come in.
Director Shao, Miss Cheng.
Why are you two here?
Zhao, we came today so we could chat with you.
You should be well aware of the material swapping incident.
I don't...quite understand what you're talking about.
The doctor said I, I should rest more. That I shouldn't tire myself out.
Mr. Zhao, you're keeping so many secrets to yourself.
Are you still eating well and resting well?
Zhao, since you don't want to talk, then I'll talk for you.
Around the Spring Festival of this year, you already knew you had leukemia?
So you asked your cousin, Zhao Zhi Guo, to take the entrance medical exam in your place.
Afterwards, Hong Shi's Secretary Zhou found you and offered you a whole bunch of money
to switch out City of Love's building materials. And frame us,
saying that you got leukemia because the materials were contaminated with formaldehyde.
You're talking nonsense! What evidence do you have?
Why are you so anxious? Calling me at this critical time.
Here's the money.
Zhao, you don't want to spend the rest of your life in prison, do you?
This doesn't prove anything. It doesn't prove anything.
I didn't do anything wrong. I didn't do anything!
That's right. Zhao Zhi Guo is my cousin, that much is right.
Secretary Zhou took pity on me and gave me money to treat my illness, that's right, too.
But what does all that and my illness
from the contaminated materials have to do with each other?
There's no need to scare me. I didn't do anything wrong!
I don't have much longer to live.
How can you...
frame someone...who's dying...like this?
Mr. Zhao, come on. Please get up.
Sit.
Mr. Zhao, Director Shao and I sympathize with your situation.
And we know that your family situation is particularly difficult.
Your parents are old, and your wife is sick.
Your daughter is in college, and your son is still young.
Everyone old and young in your family relies on you to work hard in Shanghai, earning money to support them.
But you can't go against the law because you don't have money.
Think about it, if we really raised the alarm and called the police to handle this,
not only would you be unable to earn money to support your family, but you would also have to return all the money you received.
How would you face your family?
Your wife, your parents, your children.
How would they hold their heads up high and go on living?
Is that fair to them?
Zhao, us coming here today
means that we don't intend to go forward with legal proceedings.
As long as you are willing to tell the truth,
return the stolen materials,
and admit to the public
that you framed us for your illness
to pay for your illness, then I promise you the following:
First, I won't call the police.
I will hire the best lawyer to defend you.
Second, I will continue helping you with your treatment.
You won't have to return any of the money you received from Hong Shi.
I will return it to Hong Shi for you.
Everything I said is for real. I wouldn't lie to you.
I'm sorry, Director Shao.
To the former chairman, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry to City of Love.
I did this
because I had no other choice.
Mr. Zhao, if you have any hardships, you let us know.
