The first time I met you,
seems like you can see my soul through.
For every trivial detail,
why can you see it?
Before I met you,
I've never thought about what love is.
Wondering if you feel the same?
You come to me like wind,
taking me away from the crowds
to touch the blue sky.
If you're tender wind,
please take me to the sky,
hand in hand, till we see all the scenery again.
Till we see all the scenery.
Someday, maybe the wind stops.
If possible,
I hope we can meet
in the same place.
Regardless of the weather,
cloudy, rainy or sunny,
we breathe the same air.
Do you also
keep the original intention
and still like staring at stars?
If you're tender wind,
take me as your wind chimes,
everyday, ringing happily.
My Mowgli Boy
Episode 46
I'm back.
You just had to see me
in a state like this.
It's so ironic.
You…
are you OK?
What do you think?
It's all my own doing that I'm in such a state now.
I'm being made to pay
for how I treated you all.
You must feel great seeing me like this.
How could I?
Seeing you now
I don't have any thoughts of running.
I've been working on environmental protection out in the countryside.
I already feel much calmer now.
Really?
Then I really shouldn't disturb you.
I won't come and bother you
or come looking for you again.
Just pretend
that we never knew each other.
Seeing as we can put everything aside,
what about Mr. Ling?
You hurt him
much more than you did me.
Do you really
not plan on doing anything for them?
What's the point
of doing anything now?
There is a point.
Of course there is.
I've already done the damage.
If it could really
be undone that easily,
then there wouldn't be
so much hate and resentment in this world.
Then,
couldn't you at least
think of something to help his company?
There's nothing I can do now.
The threat I pose to Zheng Weijue
is equal to zero now.
But he has
clearly overloaded his operations
that could bring his own company down.
Rather than looking to me,
you'd be better off praying that
he bankrupts himself.
It's late.
I'd
better be going.
Aren't you going home to see them?
No.
Then do you have anything to say to them
that I could pass on?
Hello, is there anything I can help you with?
Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Zheng.
Is he here?
Mr. Zheng?
He'll be back soon.
Why don't you wait for him in reception?
OK. Thank you.
This way please.
Thanks.
Just now...
Mr. Zheng,
someone called Ling Xi is waiting for you.
Ling Xi?
What's she doing here?
She said something about some cooperation.
I asked her to wait in the reception.
Fine.
Ling Xi?
What's going on? Where is she?
Are you sure she's here?
Hello.
Who said you could sit there?
What?
I've been playing here since I was a kid.
Now I'm grown up,
I miss the place.
I wanted to come and see it.
Isn't that allowed, Mr. Zheng?
This is an office,
not a play area.
I'm aware of that.
When I used
to play here,
it was long before you ever showed up.
What right do you have to talk to me like that?
This is the Aeolus Media Group now.
And I am the project manager at Aeolus Media Group.
Of course I have the right to speak to you like that.
You really think that this is your old stomping ground
and you know everyone here?
If you break into the office again,
I will call the police.
Call the police?
Who'd have thought that this is the way your company
treats its old sincere partners?
This way of treating your guests
is certainly unique.
Sincere?
What kind of sincere?
Trying to ruin our name?
Or trying to take us down?
You really overestimate me.
Do you really think I'd do that?
Then what?
Looking for public opinion, or what?
All these years and that's all you've ever had.
You've never changed.
I'm sorry.
Our company
does not want to work with people like you.
If there's nothing else,
then you should leave immediately.
Fine. You two youngsters.
No need to get so angry.
Ling Xi, you know
that in this industry
there are lots of people that want to cooperate with us.
There's way too many.
But
we're limited in our capacity.
We can only cooperate
with those top-end companies.
Do you think
that your company is one?
By the way.
on your way out,
throw this out for me.
From what I understand about you,
that's all
you're worth.
Did you understand what I said?
I won't see you out.
I understand.
There's no need.
Almost!
Hi, can I ask you
if the rubbish produced
in this whole building is all disposed of in one place?
Yes.
Where?
The dumpster downstairs.
Thanks.
OK. Let's go. Pack things up.
Go.
They're off work.
Let's get started.
Go.
Damn it.
This is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
One word.
Go!
Come on.
Hurry.
You're responsible for that part.
What are you doing?
What are you doing here?
Don't tell me
that you've found another use for your team?
This is just part-time work.
Don't worry about us.
What are you doing? Don't take your jacket off.
I can't afford to replace that.
What are you looking for?
I'll help you.
Come on.
I've found it.
I've found it!
Ling Xi?
Look at this.
It's done.
Thanks.
What?
My head hurts.
Ling Xi, are you OK?
Ling Xi?
We're almost there.
Come. Come. Sit.
Alright.
Wait for me here.
I'll go and register.
I'll be straight back.
Have this.
Keep warm.
Come.
Alright.
For the first time I find a world with you.
Those lively eyes see right through me.
For every trivial detail…
You've got such a high temperature.
Drink some more water.
You should drink more.
Having a temperature is great.
Don't talk such nonsense.
Getting a temperature
lets me see you.
It's better than being awake.
After I wake up,
I have to pretend to be happy.
Pretend to be pleased.
Pretend to be asleep.
Everything is so hard.
Do you know what you're like?
You are like a tight bandage
strapped over my heart.
When it is pulled off bit by bit,
my heart hurts so bad.
So bad.
Hand in hand,
we can see through the scenery again.
Ling Xi,
don't go putting yourself in danger again.
For your family,
and for your friends,
you have to look after yourself.
Understand?
What about you?
I still have a lot of routes through the dark to walk.
I'm willing to walk through the dark with you.
As long as you are there,
I'm willing to walk through the dark with you.
So,
I really can't let you.
Do you know what I regret more than anything?
I regret most
that when you first left me
I didn't do everything I could to beg you to stay.
I don't need any self-respect.
I don't care if you look down on me.
I never had any self-respect anyway.
I had lost everything anyway.
I miss you so much.
I don't want you to leave.
You left me alone.
You don't want me anymore.
You abandoned me.
Do you regret it at all?
Do you?
Maybe one day the wind stops.
If possible,
I hope I can make an appointment with you…
It feels so real.
As if it's not a dream.
I heard them say
that if a dream feels like reality,
you should wake up.
I don't want to wake up.
…and still like watching stars?
If you're tender wind,
let me be your wind chimes
that make happy sounds every day.
Ling Xi?
Are you in pain?
I'll go and get a nurse.
I dreamt of him again.
I've decided to give up on him.
I really have to give up on him.
From this day forward,
we are nothing but opponents.
Where are you?
My dad wants to go to the Senmu second-phase project.
I heard my dad make a call today
talking about the second phase.
He said during the safety inspection,
they dug something up.
I just
received some news from someone
that in order to deceive the public,
they're excavating though the night.
What it was they found,
I'm not sure right now.
They haven't reported anything to the company
and they haven't touched the company's funds.
Inspection.
I guess it's just an excuse.
Up there.
Within a 15-minute radius.
Then it can't be here.
Go back to where we were.
You,
drive up there
and see if there's a road.
I'll take a look down here
and get a breath of fresh air.
Go.
Open it.
Wait.
What are you doing here?
Safety inspection?
I'm responsible for this project.
It's best if I'm here.
Close the door.
You don't trust me.
No.
I don't trust you.
What do you think this is?
Evidence.
I'm worried you'll destroy it.
And the truth about many things that happened back then
will never be uncovered.
You think I'll destroy it?
Yes.
After all...
A tight face
and a very precautious look in the eyes
is a subconscious reaction to anxiety.
He's afraid.
Afraid I'll get close to the truth.
After all what?
After all, you were Ling Zhenghao's
close friend for years.
I'm worried
that in order to overcome the current stalemate,
you'll give that
to him as a gift.
I don't have any such ideas.
You're overthinking things.
Good.
I'll open it.
I'll do it.
It looks like
neither of our sources of information are accurate.
Did Zheng Li bring you here?
You're finally back.
We were waiting for you to eat.
Quick.
So close to success.
It's a real shame.
You've done so much.
If we'd found the gun,
you wouldn't have to be walking on a knife's edge with my dad
and you and Ling Xi could...
From the day I decided to get close to him,
I never consider going back.
You're the one on thin ice.
That your dad managed to throw us off the scent,
proves that he knows he was followed.
You're in a tough spot.
The maid isn't here today.
I made all of this myself.
Both of you dig in.
See what the soup is like.
If it's good,
I'll expect some praise.
It's a waste of time being good to some people,
they're one way to your face
and another behind your back.
Zheng Li,
what are you mumbling about?
The soup's good.
After a busy day,
some good soup really revives the spirits.
Of course you're busy.
Busy during the day and busy during the night.
So busy
hiding evidence, right?
Has your relationship with that girl got your head in a mess?
You're not young anymore.
You spend all day doing who knows what.
And dare shoot off your mouth with wild accusations.
What wild accusations?
You know exactly
what you've been up to recently.
Enough.
Don't start arguing over people outside of this family.
OK?
It's just work.
The atmosphere at home has soured.
Don't fool yourselves into thinking I hadn't noticed.
I'm just pretending not to.
If you hadn't started arguing today,
I would have gone on pretending I didn't know.
Zheng Li,
I can understand why you feel angry
about what happened to Mr. Ling.
But can't you
consider your father for once?
Even if he was in the wrong...
Mom...
he is still my husband.
I will always be on his side.
That's not what I'm talking about.
You really are loyal housewife.
Yes, I am.
I have no ambitions.
Money, power,
none of that is important.
For me,
you and your father are what's most important.
You're family.
OK. OK.
Let's eat, alright?
Come. Dig in.
I'll get you some more soup.
I've already told you.
I'll do the washing up.
Go and have a foot bath.
You've had a hard day.
I've prepared the water for you.
Zheng Li.
You must know
that I wasn't talking about Mr. Ling just then.
Zheng Li,
you've been wanting to say something all day.
Just spit it out.
Where did you go last night?
I went to the construction site.
What?
Do I have to report to you now?
You went to the construction site?
Why did you have to lose me if you were just going to the construction site?
Is what you're doing fair on Mom?
Your mom?
You could see for yourself.
Mom loves you so much.
She trusts you unreservedly.
How can you let her down like this?
Alright.
Zheng Li,
don't jump to conclusions.
I would never do anything bad
to your mother.
Last night, I really did go to the construction site.
If you don't believe me,
go and ask the workers there.
Or you can ask my driver.
Don't try and explain things to me.
You need to explain them to Mom.
I will not let you let her down.
We're here to discuss business,
not to visit a wildlife park.
I know.
Business discussions should be frequent and go step by step.
Just like eating more meals but less food, right?
Too much is as bad as too little.
Instant success is impossible.
It'll take time.
You've always
tried to do things your own way and against precedent.
What's up with you this time?
Whether doing things your own way and against precedent is successful or not
is entirely dependent upon luck.
But this time it's my dad
and I can't take the risk.
I have to limit the possibility of failure to a minimum.
Come on.
Wait. What are you doing? Wait.
Wait for what?
Don't you want things fast?
Back when you blocked me,
when you wouldn't let me get away…
Have you forgotten?
No, hey.
Didn't you always
think that the way I acted then
was like a mental patient?
If we go rashly in there,
we'll lose half our brownie points.
And it could end up having the opposite effect.
Moreover,
even if we have the valid information in hand,
he might not agree to talk to us.
It looks like
I'll have to take the initiative.
What's wrong with you?
Hey!
I was about to tell you
that I'd just got in contact with a friend of Mr. Zhou's.
He agreed to help introduce us.
I was waiting for his response.
We've already hit it.
Didn't you say
that action is the precursor of success?
Forget it.
Let's do this. Go.
Mr. Zhou.
We're so sorry, Mr. Zhou.
Sorry.
We just hit your car.
Please don't ever work with the Aeolus Media Group again.
Who are you?
What have you got against me?
You deliberately drove into my car?
It wasn't deliberate.
Don't worry.
I will take responsibility for everything that happens today.
But before that,
could you take a look at this material.
Please?
Whether I look or not, you're still paying for the damages.
What?
If I don't, you won't pay?
What kind of logic is that?
Right. Right.
If everyone that wanted me to look at some material
all crashed into me,
I wouldn't be alive today.
It's like this, Mr. Zhou.
We understand how you must feel,
please don't worry.
I will cover
any loses you've incurred.
I know that the Aeolus Media Group
has promised to give you a sample
but they honestly cannot
guarantee quality and quantity within your timeframe.
Please don't trust them.
Take a look at this material, OK?
Right.
I shouldn't trust them.
I should trust you.
You're a fairy godmother.
I should believe everything you say.
Mr. Zhou,
I'm sincerely sorry
that our attempt to see you today
have inconvenienced you.
We will pay for any losses.
We hope that you will come to our company for a chat.
You'd be most welcome.
This is my business card.
Mr. Li from Mozi Capital.
You're often mentioned within the industry.
I've looked forward to meeting you.
My pleasure. My pleasure.
If you think we are reliable and trustworthy,
then I'll gamble my own reputation
I hope you can reconsider
working with Aeolus Media.
They are transitioning towards solely operating real estate right now
and are already at the stage where they are just trying to squeeze cash
from the advertising industry.
We did some investigation
and they have subcontracted
your project
to a manufacturing company with limited experience.
This material
is evidence of that.
That's right, Mr. Zhou.
I know you've spent a lot of money
and you must be expecting the corresponding service.
But if you pay
for a luxury handbag
and get something that's worth 10 yuan,
and not what you paid for,
I'm sure
it won't be good
for your company's reputation.
So please take a look at this material.
I'll tell you what.
I've arranged to meet the person responsible at their end today.
Wait until I've confirmed this.
Thank you, Mr. Zhou. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Zhou.
Apologies, Mr. Zhou.
Thank you.
I have always enjoyed cooperating
with Mr. Zheng.
Whether it was at Wharf
or at Aeolus Media.
Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your confidence in us.
I hope that our cooperation
can be maintained for a long time.
Certainly.
This is just...
Go on.
However,
recently
I have heard some rumors that...
We just can't get away from them.
You know what he's capable of.
What if he talks
his way out of it?
Do you have any backup plans?
Not right now.
But we'll have to just adjust to any changes.
Crash into him again?
We'll end up losing
more than it's worth.
I'm joking. Just joking.
It's all thanks to you.
You showed your resourcefulness.
Found a way in
and were brave and cunning
to take the initiative.
Enough, already.
You're so full of it.
But today you held your nerve.
I'm surprised Mr. Zhou
really fell for your plan so easily.
Just passing him your business card
and suddenly it was all "I've been looking forward to meeting you" and "my pleasure".
When old men start buttering each other up
it's really scary.
That's not buttering each other up.
That's just normal interaction.
We're living in a status society.
Before someone gets to know you,
they will judge you on your status.
People spend their whole lives
maintaining their status, don't they?
I guess so.
I thought you were going to deny
the tag of "old men" first.
What are you doing?
Am I wrong?
You are old.
Of course.
It's just rumor.
Since it's just rumor...
Do you want another glass?
No.
Carry on.
I'm not questioning you,
but when cooperating,
it's best if everyone is up front about everything.
At twenty to nineteen,
you stand across the road,
in grey hooded coat
reaching below the knees.
You come up to me,
Talking so much.
So complicit.
Fine.
In that case,
I'll keep things short.
The money I paid
was for a top-class advertising company.
Top-class!
You go and outsource to a newcomer so they can practice on it!
Wh-Wh-What's the meaning of this?
Fine. You admit it.
This is what's happening, is it?
This is a con.
Wh-What kind of attitude is that?
I want to cancel our cooperation.
Any losses,
I will get a lawyer to claim in compensation.
Fine.
Since you understand,
there's nothing more for me to say.
I can't thank you enough.
If you hadn't come to see me,
I would still be completely in the dark.
Mr. Li,
if it's convenient, can we continue to discuss this?
Of course.
Just like that?
We haven't put in much effort yet?
What do you want?
I haven't seen you for two days
and you two have gone deaf?
You had to get so close to hear each other.
Perhaps you need a hearing aid?
I'll buy you one.
No thanks.
Just because you have good hearing,
doesn't mean that others do.
I enjoy
talking into other people's ears.
And?
You're angry?
Yes.
I am angry.
And,
don't you have any professional ethics?
You're trying to undermine the company until it's thread bare.
I have to correct you.
We weren't undermining your company.
Moreover,
you were doing business in bad faith.
People were going to find out eventually.
Do you think people are stupid?
Fine. Let's not talk business.
In the relationship we have now,
do you really think
I care what you have to say?
I know.
You're only here now
because you want to use the only affection left
that I have towards you.
Yes, I am a woman.
I'm probably weaker,
more fragile and more sensitive.
I have to work dozens of times harder than you
just to walk out of the shadow of a broken heart,
but I have someone I've sworn an oath to protect.
I won't back down.
And finally,
I don't love you.
What are you doing?
Get off me!
Don't disturb Ling Xi.
She deserves respect.
Come on. Let's go for pizza.
The cold air outside.
I'm sad in the wind.
I'm so lonely,
because I can't get into your heart.
You have forgotten
At twenty to nineteen,
you stand across the road
in grey hooded coat reaching below the knees.
You come up to me,
with your head down and eyes narrowed.
With the sun behind you, you smile not saying a word.
The cool wind, the subtle night;
the tipsy street, the smiling eyes;
You tenderly hold my hands and look at me, blanking out.
At twenty to nineteen,
you stand across the road

You come up to me,
with your head down and eyes narrowed.
With the sun behind you, you smile not saying a word.
The cool wind, the subtle night;
the tipsy street, the smiling eyes;
I slightly turn my head and look at you, blanking out.
The warm hands, the glimmering moon,
the dim light, and the tiny face.
You tenderly hold my hands and look at me, blanking out.
