[Perfect Partner]
[Episode 50]
[Jiang Yuanpeng/Yuan Su/Shu Qing/Liang Wenhui]
Someone reported against your dad.
But only the partners at DL
knew about the relationship between your dad and Pengkun Fund.
There must be a mole at DL.
Do you remember that?
Your dad told us it was highly likely
that he was framed by someone inside DL.
As long as this mole remains at large,
I won't feel settled.
What did you find?
I saw Yuan Su coming for Shu Qing right now.
Yuan Su?
Here's an email from an American confinement center.
It seemed to inform Director Shu that her son's China Travel Permit is ready.
Yuan Su?
Who is this Liang Wenhui?
I found many news about this guy in Director Shu's computer.
He seems to have a close relationship with Chenbao Real Estate.
Do you know her?
Shu Qing.
Liang Wenhui's wife.
Since that case,
which PR company handled this crisis for you?
It was you. DL.
Hello?
This is Yuan Su.
President Yuan, why would you call me?
We should meet.
Okay.
May I ask why?
I'm telling you that I can help Jiang Yuanpeng.
Are you interested?
- Coffee? - No, thanks.
Let's just get to the point.
Wei Zhe, I have to admit that
Tan Xinkai is way out of your league.
I've made a mistake this time.
It's not because you've made a mistake.
It's because you've chosen the wrong path.
What's "the wrong path"?
However hard it may be,
as long as it leads to the ultimate goal,
it'd be a successful path.
So you went all out unscrupulously.
In other words,
it'd be "competition".
You said you could help Jiang Yuanpeng.
What did you mean?
If I can help Jiang Yuanpeng clear his name,
what's in it for me?
What do you want?
I want you and Milux both withdraw your accusations.
You should understand mercy, when there is room for it.
Wei Zhe, you have to figure this out.
Even if I do lose this trial,
I'd be only sentenced to three years.
Maybe even two years would be enough.
But things would be different with Jiang Yuanpeng.
150 million.
If he gets sent into the prison,
I'm afraid he's not coming out for the rest of his life.
After all, he's gonna be your father-in-law.
Consider it as showing your filial piety to him.
This would be a good deal for you.
How can you prove that Jiang Yuanpeng is innocent?
I've got evidence.
You've got evidence?
Then why didn't you say it earlier?
I thought it'd come in handy one day.
See, it really comes in handy.
How can I trust you?
Then I'm telling you,
it was me who reported against Jiang Yuanpeng.
It was true that Du Shaokun transferred that 150 million yuan
by separately investing in dozens of shell corporations.
But Jiang Yuanpeng knew nothing about it.
And the evidence I got can prove it.
What evidence?
Do you mean that financial report Shu Qing gave you
which could prove that something was wrong with Pengkun Fund?
I'm so curious about the reason
why Shu Qing would cooperate with you.
When exactly did you set all these things up?
Is it after Chenbao Real Estate's case?
Or, is it after Liang Wenhui's suicide?
You've really found a lot about it.
What else do you know?
You knew that Jiang Yuanpeng was innocent.
Why would you report against him?
You deliberately led the economic investigation to Jiang Yuanpeng.
What exactly had he done to you?
Why did you have to destroy him?
Jiang Yuanpeng is clear about it.
Your deduction is good.
But do you have evidence?
I have.
Only I can prove Jiang Yuanpeng's innocency.
Just tell me.
This deal, are you in or out?
Out.
Because I believe that the law is just.
It would never wrong a good man
nor let off a single bad one.
Let's see each other on the court.
Hello?
How are you doing on investigating Shu Qing?
I've just found some clues.
But there's still a lot of things that I can't figure out.
She's just applied for an annual leave to me.
She's applying for an annual leave?
Yes.
Normally,
an annual leave lasts at least 24 days.
I'm having a bad feeling about it.
Well, don't rush.
Just give me a bit more time.
[Yuan Su/pays for her delivery in America/conspiracy]
[Shu Qing/Lele/their child]
[Mom]
Mom, what's up?
Come back home, now.
Your dad's back.
♫When the seed of time sprouts,♫
♫ the scenery outside the window can be seen clearly. ♫
♫ The breathing is even and careful. ♫
♫ Those burdens weighing on mind become secrets. ♫
♫ When the memory is recalled gradually, ♫
♫ there are so many trivial formalities in the world. ♫
♫ My life is like a journey in the wind. ♫
Dad!
♫ In the dream. In the dream. ♫
♫ Flowers fall off in the rain of time. ♫
♫ At one slight stroke, ♫
♫ the dawn turn the night over. ♫
♫ Whether it is right or wrong ♫
♫ doesn't matter at last. ♫
♫ There are so many beautiful stories in the world. ♫
♫ Gentle but cruel. ♫
♫ In the dream. In the dream. ♫
♫ Flowers fall off in the rain of time. ♫
You asked me here.
Anything urgent?
I've been investigating Shu Qing these days.
Why would you do this?
Because I suspect that she has colluded with Yuan Su
and she has something to do with that report against Jiang Yuanpeng.
I'm planning on turning myself in.
What did you say?
Linlin, don't rush.
Hear your dad out.
I found Du Shaokun.
He admitted that he went behind my back
and transferred that 150 million
to his own account overseas
by separately investing shell corporations.
But however hard I tried to persuade him,
he just wouldn't come back and confess his crime.
I reported the case.
And I'll take my own responsibility.
Dad,
it was he who misappropriated the money.
You didn't take a penny!
What would you be responsible for?
Yes,
I didn't misappropriate the fund.
But I'm the co-founder of Pengkun Fund.
I'm responsible for overseeing its management.
Besides, a lot of people put their money into Pengkun because of me.
They lost so much.
I have to shoulder the responsibility for them.
Linlin,
let's not talk about it.
Your dad should turn himself in indeed.
It's just that before he turns himself in,
he wants to meet someone.
Why should I trust your words?
You've been working at Mingshi Public Relations for such a long time.
You must be pretty clear about Yuan Su's character and standards of morality.
And you know more about Shu Qing than me.
I'm not suggesting that Shu Qing and Yuan Su is having some special relationship.
But if she does collude with Yuan Su for no reason,
what do you think would happen?
If we can't figure it out,
Shu Qing will remain a mystery forever.
You love her so much.
Would you really like to spend your life with a mystery?
Don't you want to figure out about her relationship with Liang Wenhui?
What did she hide from you?
I believe I'm not the only one who's after the answers to all these questions.
You want to know the truth, too.
What do you want me to do?
I've got some pieces of evidence.
But I can't chain those pieces up.
Yuan Su claimed that he had got the evidence
which could prove Jiang Yuanpeng's innocence.
If the "evidence" he talked about really exists,
I suppose it was Shu Qing who provided it to him.
You want me to persuade Shu Qing
to hand out the evidence?
Yes.
Was Jiang Yuanpeng really being wronged?
Was Shu Qing being used?
Is it Yuan Su who's been behind all these things?
I want to reveal the truth as soon as possible.
Hello?
Where are you?
Can you come to my home?
What's up?
My dad's back.
He said he wanted to see you.
Where are you going?
Just taking a vacation.
Will you come back?
Wei Zhe was right about it.
You're leaving.
What else did Wei Zhe tell you?
He told me a lot of things.
But I don't buy it.
I just want you to tell me about the truth.
I've asked you here today
to show you my gratitude in person.
Thank you for taking care of Linlin
and help me protect DL.
Mr. Jiang,
you're welcome.
You've been putting your heart and soul into DL.
DL is also leading the public relations industry.
I won't let it collapse.
As for Jiang Dalin...
Instead of saying that I've been taking care of her,
it's actually more like she's been helping me.
It seems that
I'll still have to trust you with Linlin and DL.
Are you really going to turn yourself in?
Actually, Du Shaokun is not the only one
who can prove your innocency.
What do you mean?
I've been looking over this case.
Do you know who reported against you?
Mingshi Public Relations, Yuan Su.
I have just been thinking so.
But he also has a helper
that you didn't see it coming.
Helper?
She works for you.
Shu Qing.
Yes.
It was me who gave Pengkun Fund's financial report to Yuan Su
and let him report against Jiang Yuanpeng.
That's because I got myself into DL in the first place
just for that day to come.
Are you doing these things all for Liang Wenhui?
Wenhui didn't commit suicide to escape punishment.
He died because of Jiang Yuanpeng.
He told me before his death
that there were some quality problems with that building.
He had reported the problems to his superiors for many times.
But his voices were stifled.
Later, that building collapsed.
They forged Wenhui's signature on the quality report.
They also bought the contractors off
and cooked up stories, claiming that Wenhui had accepted bribes.
They passed all the buck to Wenhui
for the crimes he did not commit.
That's why Wenhui jumped to his death eventually.
And it was all Jiang Yuanpeng's idea.
Chenbao Real Estate let DL handle its PR affairs.
But what you've just said,
it doesn't sound like what Jiang Yuanpeng would do.
That's because you've all been fooled by him.
He's nothing but a hypocrite
who would go all out unscrupulously for profit.
If it wasn't for him.
Wenhui wouldn't commit suicide
and Lele wouldn't lose his father before he was even born.
So I'm having my revenge.
I want him to pay the price for everything he has done.
So you framed him.
You knew it all along that Jiang Yuanpeng didn't misappropriate the money.
But you just let Yuan Su report against him.
Compared with what he did to Wenhui,
what I did is nothing.
Then have you ever thought
that by doing these things,
you're no different from the people who framed Liang Wenhui.
Do you still remember Liang Wenhui?
Of course.
He's a very righteous young man.
Then what was it with his suicide?
It's a long story.
Three years ago,
one of the buildings under construction of Chenbao Real Estate suddenly collapsed.
During the investigation over this accident,
the news suddenly came out that the project supervisor Liang Wenhui took bribes.
Under the social pressure,
he committed suicide to escape punishment.
Then do you know who's Liang Wenhui's wife?
Shu Qing.
Back at that time you were the PR consultant of Chenbao Real Estate.
So Shu Qing has reasons to suspect that it was you
who had plotted to frame Liang Wenhui,
which eventually led to his suicide.
That's why she'd collude with Yuan Su
and took revenge on me.
That seems to be the case.
But the weird thing is,
I found out that
Shu Qing had somehow got the financial report of Pengkun Fund.
How did she get that report?
President Jiang.
Here's a document for you to sign.
It seems messy here.
So I clean it up a bit.
You've been doing greatly recently.
In such a short time,
you got us two big orders.
Keep up the good work.
But don't work too hard.
Thank you for your encouragement and concerns.
Maybe it's because of my negligence.
Mr. Jiang,
I have to leave for a moment.
I'll be back soon.
I see.
You really want to bring justice to Liang Wenhui.
But have you ever thought
what if what Yuan Su told you isn't the truth?
What's your point?
At that time, DL and Mingshi competed for Chenbao Real Estate.
Eventually Jiang Yuanpeng won the order.
And Yuan Su can never get over it.
I remember it clearly that 3 years ago,
after the accident at Chenbao Real Estate,
Yuan Su summoned me to his office
and asked me to work out a crisis PR plan for Chenbao Real Estate.
I felt quite weird about it too at that time.
If someone should make a plan, it should be DL.
Why would they turn to Mingshi?
After all these years I've been working with Yuan Su,
I know quite well that he would do anything just for profit.
More importantly,
after this, Chenbao Real Estate became one of Mingshi's clients.
Is there really nothing wrong with it?
You've told me everything about how Liang Wenhui was framed.
Plus everything I've told you.
Don't you think it sounds more like something Yuan Su would do?
Shu Qing,
calm down and think about it.
You're not that sure, right?
I don't know.
I really don't know.
Let's find out about the truth together.
Let's bring justice to Liang Wenhui
and also an explanation to you.
You know my feelings for you.
Whatever the truth is,
let's face it together.
What?
You'd finally come to your senses?
We can make this deal, right?
Yeah, I've come to my senses.
I would never make any deal with you.
Three years ago, it was you who took Jiang Yuanpeng's place
and handled the crisis for Chenbao Real Estate, right?
You forged the signature and bought the contractors off.
Then you passed the buck to Liang Wenhui
which led to his suicide, right?
You don't need to answer me.
I've got the answer from your expression.
You forced Liang Wenhui to take his own life.
Then you planted these things on Jiang Yuanpeng
and tricked Shu Qing into being your pawn to attack Jiang Yuanpeng.
These are all what you did, right?
President Jiang, no offense but...
Shu Qing just wants to know
the truth about Liang Wenhui's death
and what kind of role you played in it.
Please forgive us.
I can understand.
Please hold on a second.
Before the accident,
I went to Liang Wenhui for information.
He gave me this document.
Take a look.
Liang Wenhui found out that there were quality problems with that building.
So he secretly asked the builders for information.
It was recorded clearly here that
the contractors told those workers to do scamp work and use stint materials
so as to shorten the construction process.
Unfortunately, before these files came in handy,
there was this accident.
Why would my husband give you this?
Because he trusted me.
We had an agreement at that time
that he'd come forward to collect evidence
while I'd convince Chenbao.
We were unwanted then.
That was why I got kicked out by President Gao of Chenbao Real Estate.
Meanwhile, Liang Wenhui...
I'm so sorry.
He trusted you.
And you knew the truth.
Then why didn't you stand forward and testify for him
when they cooked up the slander that he had taken bribes?
I had my reasons.
You know, there's this rule in PR industry.
We have to sign the confidentiality agreement with our clients.
Besides, Mingshi took over my job.
Though there were so many arguable statements,
it was Mingshi who had been handling these things afterwards.
I was out of the loop.
And I had no evidence.
I know.
You won't believe me only with these files and my words.
You should hear this out.
President Jiang,
they forced me to lie.
I can't take it anymore.
Thank you for always trusting me.
But I'm afraid I can't wait till the day when the truth comes out.
President Jiang,
they forced me to lie.
I can't take it anymore.
Thank you for always trusting me.
But I'm afraid I can't wait till the day
when the truth comes out.
How did you get it?
This was the last voice message your husband had ever sent me
before he committed suicide.
Please believe me.
I've never framed Liang Wenhui.
President Jiang,
since I joined DL,
I've been harboring nefarious motives.
I'm sorry for what I did to you.
Yes, I've done many despicable things.
But is Jiang Yuanpeng really that innocent?
The rival between Mingshi and DL has been going on for years.
Jiang Yuanpeng has also been playing dirty little tricks.
Are you sure he'd feel at ease saying he's 'innocent'?
Pfft!
I'm so sick of it
every time I see his look of self righteousness.
So this is what you call the 'competition'.
You just go beyond the limits to take down your rival.
For that, you'd even put him into prison
and 'kill' someone innocent.
You're in no place to teach me any lesson,
young man.
Don't you think you're really some 'God'
just because they call you "PR God".
Not nearly.
And you're in no place to teach me about life
or tell me what's morality.
If I were you,
I'll focus on how to convince Milux to withdraw the lawsuit as soon as possible.
Otherwise,
Jiang Yuanpeng can never turn back.
Yuan Su, I'm here today
to sincerely reason with you.
If you've really got the evidence,
I'm hoping you'll hand it out.
Better late than never.
Help us clear Jiang Yuanpeng's name now
and you'll also be able to alleviate your sin.
If you put it in this way,
then I'm afraid I have to take Jiang Yuanpeng with me.
We'll just wait and see.
Wei Zhe,
I've got a good news for you.
Shu Qing has agreed to hand out the record.
My dad is innocent.
Did you hear it?
This is what we call "retribution".
Do you believe in retribution?
I didn't.
But now I do.
You're right.
I'm not a 'god'.
Actually, it's been bothering me that
as public relations personnel,
what's the faith we should keep.
Now I've found the answers
which are conscience and morality.
A PR consultant who loses his conscience and morality
brings shame on this industry.
Just like you.
That "evidence" you've been talking about,
you mean that record from Shu Qing, right?
Good.
This time we can settle all the scores altogether.
Three years ago,
Liang Wenhui was forced to commit suicide.
A few months ago,
Jiang Yuanpeng was framed and had to leave home.
And lately,
you've been sending people to frame me.
I'll settle all these scores with you.
All these sins you've committed,
don't you think you can get away with it.
[A month later] Yuan Su was charged with slander by parties involved
and was sentenced to a year in prison.
He was prosecuted for false accusations
and infringing another's commercial reputation.
He was sentenced to 3 years in prison.
Meanwhile, the Prosecutors Office have reopened the investigation
over Liang Wenhui's bribery case
and Chenbao Real Estate's building collapse case.
Given that Jiang Yuanpeng disappeared during the investigation
and didn't cooperate with police,
compulsory measures have been taken against him according to the law.
After his arrest, he cooperated actively with the police.
It's ascertained that he didn't misuse his authority
to misappropriate the fund illegally.
He receives no criminal punishment at last.
Du Shaokun attempted to flee overseas.
He was arrested at Shenzhen Customs.
The Pengkun case is under investigation.
Cheers!
We have several announcements to make.
First,
my share transfer agreement has been notarized.
Tomorrow,
I'll go to your company and finish the procedure.
Linlin,
it's all yours now.
Mom!
Second,
from today on,
I'm officially retired.
Third,
we've bought the ferry tickets.
Next Wednesday, we'll leave Shanghai
and sail around the world.
Dad! Mom!
Are you serious?
Knock it off.
It's your company.
Everyone has been waiting for you to go back.
I've had enough of being this CEO.
And I simply can't make a good CEO.
You don't want to be the CEO, right?
Well, then.
You can convince him to take this job.
You've heard my dad.
Come back.
You'll be the CEO
and I'll be your assistant.
Whether as my associate or my boyfriend,
I need you.
I've got many offers.
Why would I accept yours?
Because I'm sincere enough.
You're carrying the official seal with you.
Are you running a shell corporation?
Is this offer tempting enough for you?
No.
I've kept all my words.
I protected you.
I helped you guard DL.
I managed to clear your dad's name.
Aren't you supposed to keep yours too?
What words?
Marry me.
October 1st is an auspicious day.
I'm marrying you.
♫I'm not afraid of this cold world anymore.♫
♫Just thinking of that you're there with me♫
♫would light up my heart.♫
I want to have a family.
It means more to me than being a CEO.
♫I'll hold your hands tightly♫
♫and be there with you till the end.♫
♫I'm not afraid of this cold world anymore♫
♫because I got your love.♫
♫You indulge me with your love.♫
♫I believe warmth can thaw out sorrow.♫
♫I'll put it onto the star sky.♫
♫You've awakened my gentleness.♫
♫I’ll hold your hands tightly♫
♫and be there with you for the whole time.♫
