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 47
I don't know if I should sing
a song of impending doom.
I can't really stand straight.
I don't often wear high heels.
I'm not really used to them.
Darling,
take a look, take a look.
What is it?
Tang Cheng's parents are incredible.
They've won so many international awards.
See.
National Geographic Global Photography Award.
Hasselblad International Award in Photography.
Amazing!
They've won so many international awards,
are we going to have anything to talk about with them?
Of course we will.
Don't forget
that I am
an important figure
in this complex.
Right?
I mean, when it comes to mahjong,
tell me,
who can beat me?
All right.
That's a healthy attitude.
Darling,
do, do you think I look good?
Stunning, right?
Careful.
Apart from your butterfly sleeves,
and that barrel of a belly,
and the volume of your hair being a bit off,
the rest of you looks
like a 20-something year old girl.
You!
Careful, careful.
You really have a desire to live.
They're here.
Quick. Go and greet them.
Quick. Quick.
Wait!
What?
The table.
The mahjong table.
Cover it up.
Don't let them see it.
Come. Cover it.
Hello.
This is my mother and father.
Welcome to our humble home.
Welcome. Welcome.
Let me make an introduction too.
These are
my legendary parents.
I had originally hoped
that this could be a bit informal.
But it seems
as if that isn't going to happen.
Sorry. Sorry.
Apologies for interrupting you.
Yes.
Not at all. Not at all.
Hello. Hello.
Get the gifts.
You really shouldn't have.
It's enough to bring yourselves.
There's really no need for gifts.
Exactly.
Honestly, gifts. It's really not necessary.
Quite.
It's the first time we've met,
so this is a small token of our friendship.
What is it?
It's not going to be gold or silver,
jade or gemstones, is it?
If it is, we can't return such a gift.
Calm down, no need to get yourself in a state.
Open it and take a look.
I hope you like it.
Open it, open it.
Open it.
This is a piece of sedimentary rock that we collected.
From the grain,
it is clear that this rock was formed at least tens of millions of years ago.
Look.
It also probably went through flooding,
changes in the riverbed and all kinds of weathering.
We hope that Tang Cheng and Ziyue
are just like this rock
and can overcome the test of time.
Great. -Great.
This has a lot of commemorative significance.
Right.
I think it's great. -Right.
Don't just stand there. Come in.
Right. Right. -Come in. -Come in.
Come, come. Come in.
Make yourselves at home. Come.
Please. Please.
Come. Come in. Come in.
Take a seat.
Come back.
Let me tell you,
one look at them
and it's clear that they are truly cultured people.
When we're eating,
we can't make fools of ourselves.
You're going to have to use
every word in your vocabulary.
Of course.
And don't forget to teach me.
OK. Let's go.
Today, our esteemed guests arrive at our humble home.
We are greatly honored by your presence.
We have prepared a small selection of food and drinks
to show our sincerity.
If we fail in any regard,
please forgive us.
Not at all.
Come. Come.
Cheers.
Come. Come.
Welcome. Welcome.
Come. Come. Cheers. Cheers.
Why do things feel so weird?
That's what I was thinking.
Dig in. Dig in.
Eat. Eat.
Ziyue is young and promising.
He has his own morals and lines.
My daughter is very proud of him for that.
You're too kind.
He's not an exceptional talent,
he just got off to an early start.
Slow. Slow.
Slow what? Slow what?
Quick. Quick.
Slow and steady
wins the race.
Right.
Slow and steady wins the race.
Come. Let's drink.
OK.
Come. Come.
Drink.
Come. Come.
Lu Ziyue, what is going on?
Are they performing a modern drama?
What have you done?
I don't have any idea what's going on either.
Let me tell you...
Mom, for now,
don't, don't talk about me.
Eat your food and talk...
and talk about something else.
Something else?
Yes. Something else.
Eat and chat.
Talk about something else.
Right.
Talk, talk about something else.
Something else.
Else.
When you're out in the wild taking pictures,
do you ever come across
any outlandish stuff?
Right.
I wouldn't exactly call them outlandish.
We've spent so much time in the wild
that sometimes we feel we know animals
better than humans.
Once we were photographing lions.
We were too far away.
There was all this scrub between us.
So the two of us
started to get closer and closer.
Finally,
we were only a few meters away.
Away from a lion?
Right.
The lion looked at us,
but it didn't have the slightest bit of hostility in its eyes.
Thank goodness.
We were so close.
We could see
the lion's whiskers
crystal clear.
A gift of nature.
Out in the wild,
moments like that are the happiest times.
Right.
Now I remember.
I've seen one of your photos.
It was, it was a,
a,
a white leopard, right?
A snow leopard.
Right.
Snow leopard. Snow leopard.
Right. A snow leopard.
That, that,
that lighting, that,
that, that,
that, that line of its muscles,
that, that really
captured its power and beauty.
Beauty, beauty, beauty.
I won't lie to you,
that was after we'd just saved it.
At the time, it was still very weak.
It only had two thirds of the body weight
of a normal leopard.
Two, two thirds.
There was another photo.
It was that
orangutan.
That, that orangutan with a red backside
had an ass bigger than its waist.
Right.
You saved it too.
It must have been you.
Right?
What was wrong with it?
There was nothing wrong with it.
It's called a crested black macaque.
That's just the way they normally look.
Right.
It's supposed to have a red ass.
That's just the way it is.
They'd be better off talking about me.
Come. Come.
Eat. Eat. Let's eat. Let's eat.
-Come. Come. -OK. OK.
Help yourselves. Make yourselves at home.
Darling.
The pot is getting dry.
Go, go and add some water.
Quick. Quick.
What, what should we do?
Quick. Quick.
Turn it off. Turn it off.
This...
What is all this?
I'm so sorry about today.
We made such idiots of ourselves.
We acted like such fools.
Not at all. No.
The main thing was that me and his father
were so worried about our son.
Ziyue is a good kid.
He is a good kid.
But his father and I,
to tell you the truth,
the two of us
are pretty uncultured.
We don't have any social status,
or have done anything of much worth.
That Ziyue is such an bright kid,
is all down to himself.
I mean, we're just an ordinary family
and we don't really help make him look good.
We're really a bit
of an embarrassment to him.
Mom, don't say that.
Ziyue and Tang Cheng's
coming together
wasn't easy.
Right.
So,
I hope that the two of you will give your approval.
We do.
We put up both our hands in approval.
Great. That's great.
I won't keep it from you,
but Ziyue has helped us a lot.
He, how?
Right.
Before I came here
I felt pretty uneasy.
I'm not over exaggerating
when I say that Tang Cheng
brought herself up.
Yes.
You really don't need to worry about her.
Right.
It's exactly because we really don't need to worry about her
that I
spent the time when I should have been
caring about
and loving her,
saving wild animals.
So the two of us
feel pretty guilty about that.
No matter how many awards we win,
we'll
never be able to make that up to her.
At least you have the heart to admit it.
We're really happy
that such a loving family as yours
is willing to accept Tang Cheng.
And this can make up
for mine and her mother's regret to some extent.
She's so lovely, right?
I have another request.
An-Another?
Can you teach us mahjong?
We almost never
get this kind of chance out in the wild.
You scared me silly.
Of course. No problem.
Playing mahjong,
that's my specialty.
Leave this to me.
I'll teach you.
She's planning on applying to the Guinness Book of Records.
Great. Great.
The atmosphere...
Changed pretty quickly.
Let me tell you, in this complex...
Strips, dots and wan.
We haven't talked about their marriage yet.
There's no need for that.
We're discussing mahjong. Mahjong.
Mahjong. Mahjong.
What do you mean?
And then in that
there's north, south, east, west, red, green, white.
And eight flowers, understand?
We'll play a few times and you'll get the hang of it.
OK. OK. Come. Come.
Teach me.
Marriage, indeed.
Great.
Did we lose this order too?
Why?
Several orders at the end of the monthâ€¦
They said that they couldn't finish the order on time.
What do you mean not finish on time?
Get Mr. Yang to come in here.
Did you hear me?
Get Mr. Yang to come and see me.
He hasn't come back yet.
He's still with a client...
Come in.
Dismissed.
What is up with you?
Are you just going to let her get in the way?
I'll solve this.
I'd better go.
She's just playing some dirty tricks.
I'll go.
Don't get yourself involved.
I'm the best person to go.
By the way,
Mr. Yang is away
working things through with a client.
I'm worried about it.
Go and see him.
Get Linda to book you a flight.
I'm here.
Come after you've finished your meeting.
Over the last few years the number of projects we've turned down
that proved successful are no small amount.
I want everyone to keep working hard.
Are you OK on your own?
Do you need me to postpone the meeting
and get there as soon as possible?
The last project that needs reviewing.
So cute.
Don't worry. I can handle this.
Ms. Chen.
Ling Xi.
You are old acquaintances.
If there are any misunderstandings,
just talk them through face to face.
OK.
I'll go and take a sauna.
Once you're done, come and find me in private room 404.
Please.
Meeting you here
isn't a coincidence.
Whatever you have to say, just say it.
Ling Xi.
I watched you grow up.
You understand me well.
You're wrong.
I don't understand you.
I used to think I did,
but then I realized that was all fake.
I know that
you are very unhappy about a few things.
I understand.
I'm trying to make things up to you.
What is it you want?
Just, just tell me.
Don't go beating around the bush
and then making moves behind my back.
I want you to clear my father's name.
And stand in front of all the staff at Wharf
and tell them
that my father is innocent.
He never did anything to anyone he should be ashamed of
and that the real person who was ungrateful
was you,
Zheng Weijue.
I have always wanted to do that too.
But now is not the time.
Do you really think
that I'd believe what you say now?
I'm telling you,
the business you lost
is nothing but
a drop in the ocean to me.
If that was true,
you wouldn't be sitting here today.
Ms. Chen?
I'm in here. Who is it?
I'm still in here?
Can anyone hear me?
Open the door!
There's someone in here!
Help!
Open the door!
The subscriber you have dialed
is not responding.
Please redial later.
About the project just now,
Mr. Li, what do you think?
I think...
Meeting dismissed.
I'll go.
She's just playing some dirty tricks.
I'll go.
Don't get yourself involved.
I'm the best person to go.
Help!
Open the door!
Standing at camp in front of the forces.
Men boys together.
Hear the orders carefully.
The first beat of the drum.
Prepare the meal.
The second beat of the drum.
Uniforms on.
The third beat of the drum.
Draw our swords.
The forth beat of the drum.
Onto the battlefield.
Zheng Weijue.
I know you're out there.
Let me out, Zheng Weijue!
Help.
You abandoned me.
Do you regret it at all?
Yes.
If I had the choice again,
even if it meant that the truth from back then never came out,
I would never choose to leave you again.
Don't leave yourself without a way out,
or you'll suffocate yourself.
If this
ever happens again,
there won't be anyone to open the door for you.
Ling Xi.
Ling Xi?
You OK?
Fine.
What happened to you?
Come. Come.
I won't let you
try and deal with this single-handedly.
Do you hear me?
I want to protect you.
I'm fine.
You really do have more collagen than me.
Of course, old man.
You're awake?
There's nothing wrong with you, is there?
You were completely out for the count.
There's something wrong with you!
I feel so dizzy.
Did I sleep for a long time?
Don't you remember anything?
I remember.
I haven't got amnesia.
I, I was locked in a sauna
by Zheng Weijue.
I shouted to be let out for ages.
I broke my voice shouting.
I screamed till I was hoarse, but I wasn't able to get out.
He, he was in there singing damned Beijing opera.
And then...
And then he let you out?
You saw me when you came staggering out.
If you hadn't been there,
I'm sure I would have just passed out there.
Do you remember the last thing
I said to you?
Yes.
The last thing you said was
that I had more collagen than you.
Right.
You have a great memory.
Let's go eat.
Let's get some nutrition to that pig's brain of yours.
Help me up.
Come.
Which way?
Let's go.
He left with Ms. Chen?
You don't really think
that seeing him here today
was an accident, do you?
So the two of them teamed up
to teach me a lesson?
It's my fault.
I didn't look too closely into their friendship.
If I'd have known you were walking into a trap,
I wouldn't have let you go.
Zheng Weijue, Zheng Weijue.
He's so conniving.
If I try and compete with him like this,
I'll never be able to defeat him
on behalf of my father.
It's not as bad as all that.
That he came to see you in person,
means
that you've already got him rattled.
Rattled?
He's like an anorexic gold python.
And I'm like a unicorn that's worked out.
You think he's rattled?
He's not even shaken.
Don't underestimate yourself.
The larger they come,
the harder they fall.
You're right.
What do you mean? Tell me.
Do you know
that during the Second World War, the Germans produced
a large tank,
called the Panzer Maus.
Its total weight was 188 tons
with armored plating 240 cms thick.
A weapon that could turn the war.
And then? Was it invincible?
It actually never saw a single battle
because it was too heavy.
It could only move
about 13 kms an hour
and it was useless cross-country.
So, to put it another way,
it was just for show.
So, what you're trying to say
is that Zheng Weijue
is a mouse (maus) that can't move?
Right.
I asked a friend to look into it
and he said that Zheng Weijue
had put all his family assets
into the Senmu project.
He has no way of pulling out now.
Forget about the other projects,
at present,
he hasn't got any available funds left.
He has no room for the slightest error.
Then that means
that I didn't go through all this today for nothing, right?
Zheng Weijue has a cash flow problem.
He'll have to go looking for new investors.
So, all we have to do
is get to them
before he does
and persuade them
that he's not a man to be trusted
and make sure they know what he's really like.
He's already threatened you.
And you want to go charging after him again like a headless chicken?
You're like a moth to fire.
He messed up my father so bad.
If I just sit back and watch him
mess up other people,
I'll never be able to sleep at night.
Alright. Alright. Don't get yourself involved.
The investment industry is my home turf.
It won't be hard to persuade some friends to do me some favors.
You should just rest up.
You should go and get some rest.
Are you going to let my investment go to waste?
You really are the best investor
I've ever had!
Thanks.
Has anyone ever told you
that you look handsome when you're in your imperious businessman mode.
Really?
I don't care what other people think.
Rubbish.
You're so talented,
but there must be some things
that you can't handle yourself, right?
Tell me.
Perhaps I can help you.
I don't like being in anyone's debt.
You're helping me, I want to help you back.
Fine.
Perhaps
there are some things you can help me with.
For example,
relationships.
Relationships?
My own relationships are a failure.
How can I help anyone else?
Let me ask you...
What?
...if you want...
Want what?
...if you want...
...if you want...to try eating something other than tofu for once?
Try something different.
No.
I like tofu.
Even raw tofu tastes good.
Thank you for seeing me out.
It's my pleasure.
This way.
OK.
Mr. Zhao, thank you for your help.
It's nothing.
I hope we will enjoy cooperating in the future.
Goodbye.
OK. I need you to confirm a number for me.
OK. Go ahead.
OK.
OK. Go ahead.
OK. Six point three zero one.
Morning.
Sit.
Please assist me.
Think of it as me owing you a favor.
Mr. Li, this isn't like you.
Putting all this effort
into a thankless task like this.
What are you planning?
Mr. Mowgli, you're back.
Did your trip go well?
The company is lurching from bad to worse.
Our clients aren't idiots.
We're done for.
Recently, we've been losing all our orders.
And Senmu has been constantly demanding for additional expenses.
They say that Mr. Zheng hasn't been able to find any investors.
Right now, we're like a firecracker.
The second Mr. Zheng goes off,
who knows who'll be sent flying into the sky?
They can share the sky with the sun.
Where is he?
Hello.
I just placed an order
for some cakes.
Mr. Li,
I've been to your company many times
and every time I get given the cold-shoulder.
Isn't that
something from a departure from your usual style?
If someone wants to disturb my nest
and comes looking for me,
I won't open it for them.
That makes no sense to me.
At the most,
we've just been through a lawsuit.
And there should be no personal feelings of resentment.
Depends on how you look at it.
If I met someone selling poor quality fruit
for high prices to my friends,
I would say something.
Fine.
We're both businessmen.
Business is business.
To stop me from getting investment,
you've brought down your own share prices.
Doing that,
what if your business hits problems?
Things will all backfire then.
Understand?
It's always hard to predict how things will go.
When you got control of the Senmu project,
you thought
that you were riding the peak of your career.
And now?
You're worried you'll lose the project.
Worried you lose all decision-making power.
Aren't you tired?
I never consider "what ifs".
Don't you think that all this
is not worth it?
If Ling Xi is happy,
it's worth it.
It's only so big.
Is it really that hard to carry out?
I don't want to hear it.
I'm giving you two days.
I don't care how you do it,
even if you have to go three feet deep,
you have to find it.
Who said you could change your ticket?
Why did you delay your trip?
There are so many things going on at the company at the moment.
Irreversible losses all over the place.
If you want me to try and turn the situation around,
then I had to make the right preparations
before I went to negotiate.
You mean
you did it for the company?
Not for your own personal reasons?
You deliberately planned to get close to me.
What are you up to?
If you doubt me that much,
then why
do you take the risk of employing me?
Before I came here
I had already said what I had to say incredibly clearly.
The reason I came here
was to find the true killer back then.
If you really doubt me,
then I can quit.
I can look for the evidence on my own.
Hang on.
I understand.
You want
to use me
to help you complete your goal.
Doing that,
I'll be in your debt.
Don't go thinking you can get away with any tricks in front of me.
You know
exactly what you're capable of.
Your delivery
is still 28 blocks away.
I'll click the "complete" button first, OK?
What kind of a boss am I?
Long time no see.
A while ago
didn't we see each other in that health club?
Did we?
I'm not your demon.
You are Ling Xi's.
What did you say?
How many people?
I'll be there immediately.
Wait for me.
Lend me your car.
Thanks.
Where are you going?
This is good.
Try some.
Look at you all.
Only care about stuffing your own faces.
The boss hasn't had any.
Have you no shame.
Here, Boss.
For you.
No thanks. I'm not hungry.
Then I won't hold back.
Here. Have this.
For you.
It's sweet enough.
This is a big piece with lots of calories.
You have it.
No thanks needed.
You're such a good friend.
Men just have to worry about their careers.
Women have to worry about their figures.
It's so unfair.
Don't be angry.
All you have to do
is take in enough fiber every day.
This is sugar free and...
It's good.
Where did you buy it?
I didn't.
I'm trying to save money now.
So there's no way
I'd buy this cake.
Li Yuheng bought it for me.
I thought I'd share it with you.
because I'm so generous.
What?
What is it?
Do you know that recently
Li Yuheng has been talking to
his friends in the investment industry?
I know!
He was drinking with clients
and almost died of alcohol poisoning.
Did you know that?
I know.
What did you say?
I didn't know that.
Why did he have to go out drinking with them?
He told me
that they were all just old business friends
and he'd barely have to lift a finger.
And you believed him?
Then why did he lie to me?
Come on.
You explain it to her
from a man's perspective.
He's probably afraid of putting pressure on you.
Why would he?
I'm not a water bag.
Why would he be afraid of giving me pressure?
Good heavens!
I finally understand
why you stayed silently in love with Zheng Li
for so long.
Your brain doesn't work.
Li Yuheng
is in love with you.
He likes me?
Quit joking around!
He likes me?
I, I didn't know about any of this.
He likes me?
I think I need to have a stiff glass of vodka
and clear my mind.
That's impossible. He likes me?
Just tell us what you think.
It's been a while now
since you broke up with Mowgli.
What did you hit me for?
Are we banned from even saying that name?
Or are you planning
on staying single for the rest of your life?
Why should I have to be in a relationship?
Relationships get in the way of true love.
They really get in the way.
I want to travel the land, OK?
Right. Right.
Right my ass.
You're just trying to escape from reality.
I'm telling you.
Escaping is not only pathetic, it's also useless.
I really don't understand.
Li Yuheng
is more than happy to be your spare tire.
Are you just going to carry it around?
Why not change your tire?
You won't know how well it works
until you get moving.
I disagree.
Spare tires should be saved for an emergency.
Use them for too long and you still might crash.
But you still can't keep lingering in the past.
The last thing
that one should do is
hold fantasies about the things they have lost.
This is just being realistic.
But you can't just park
in the first spot that appears.
Sometimes, reaching for your dreams
takes real courage.
What can I smell?
Who's eating stuff behind my back?
Let me ask you a question.
After someone
suffers a breakup,
should they start a new relationship?
A: yes.
B: no.
I choose C.
Your foreign teacher
hasn't been teaching you ancient oriental
question answering magic, has he?
And choosing C?
No.
I've been through a breakup before,
and in my experience,
I think
that falling in love
isn't the only important thing in our lives.
There are lots of other things
we should spend our time on.
Like charity.
The month after next,
I've signed up to go to Qinghai Lake
and pick up rubbish.
Why don't you come too?
OK.
Do you know,
there's so much
rubbish there
that lots of springs have been blocked
and the water in this wetland
is decreasing.
The migratory birds
have stopped coming.
Have some cake.
You're being noisy.
Leave. Leave. Go away.
You've truly misunderstood me.
Isn't this ever going to stop?
To start with
you said it was prospecting.
Then you said
it was an inspection team.
Taking a whole team of people into the mountains.
They made so much chaos.
I've never seen an investigation team
that came with wild animal traps.
They started digging and setting fires.
What exactly, what exactly are you all up to?
How many of them were there?
How long did they go for?
You,
you're not in with them, are you?
Village Chief, you...
Go away. I don't know.
Village Chief.
Mr. Xia.
Ye.
Ye, it really is you?
Mr. Xia.
How, how do you know each other?
We know each other, Ye.
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
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;
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.
