(Episode 12)
Yan,...
you've done well.
Looks like the Board of Directors trusts you a lot.
I have to thank you for your support.
Things wouldn't have gone so smoothly without you.
Don't mention it.
Yan,...
I've gotten news that A Ze is pursuing Xiaomeng.
Do you know anything about that?
It's just a rumor.
Don't take it to heart, Uncle Jiang.
Actually... those two...
are similar in age.
I watched Xiaomeng grow up since she was a child.
I know everything about her.
It won't be a bad thing...
if they get together.
When it comes to relationship,...
A Ze and Xiaomeng are the ones to decide.
You grew up with her.
The two of you were inseparable.
She'll definitely...
think twice about your opinion.
Ze is the only son of the Jiang family.
He's dignified and presentable.
He is definitely a perfect match for Xiaomeng.
Think about it.
If they end up together,
it's a win-win for both our families.
It'll be beneficial for Shenghai Group, right?
Uncle Jiang,...
but this is Xiaomeng's personal matter.
Oh, dear.
Silly me.
Alright...
You young people have your own mindset.
I get it.
Pass it to me.
Check this out!
-You two go ahead and chat. -I'm sorry, I'll be there in a sec.
-No worries, I'll head over first. -Okay.
What brings you here?
Are you any good?
I'm a certified instructor.
What's up? You're interested?
Do you take students?
Sure.
Although, I have to ask.
Why the sudden interest to learn this?
Well, there's a designer by the name of Eisenman.
He's a member of your club.
My company's interested in working with him.
So, I've come here to see him.
Look at you now.
Taking an alternative approach to your target.
You're maturing well as a businessman.
Let's get you started with some basic techniques.
Come on.
You can do it. Keep your balance.
Yan, keep up the good work! I see some improvements.
Keep it up, you're doing well!
Keep it up!
Keep your balance.
Not bad.
I'm impressed that you've picked it up so well in such a short time.
Thanks for helping me.
Don't mention it. Like I said,
I've never wanted to be your enemy.
I have a favor to ask.
Eisenman... set up a meeting for me.
Sure, no problem.
Thanks.
Xiaomeng,
you look pretty good lately.
Keep it that way.
About Aunt Ye,
don't stress yourself out.
Frankly speaking, Dr. Xiao,...
too much has happened lately.
Most of the time,...
I don't even know what to do.
Don't worry. I'm here for you.
Thank you.
Oh by the way,
I've read the information you gave me.
Although I can't quite understand
a lot of the professional opinions mentioned,
but I know that
those information shows...
hope for Mom to wake up from her coma.
Well, with professional treatments,
Aunt Ye may come out of her coma sooner.
But, many treatments
are not yet common in our country.
So, I suggest that you transfer
Aunt Ye to a treatment center abroad.
I know.
But Yan won't agree to it.
There were a few times
when I tried bringing this up.
But I couldn't find the right timing.
I've done some research.
There's a highly reputable rehabilitation center
with advanced equipment.
If the application was submitted by the family,
the center usually approves it.
But the condition is...
you mustn't tell Chairman Zhou.
After the transfer abroad,
have Aunt Ye go through a thorough examination.
With a better treatment plan,
the execution will be better as well.
Alright. I'll think about it.
Xiaomeng, there's one more thing.
With Aunt Ye's current health condition,
the transfer can be risky.
Think about it carefully.
Actually, this is a difficult situation for me.
I want my mom to come out from her coma.
But I'm also afraid that she'll wake up too soon.
The thing is...
if I find out that she's the murderer...
once she wakes up,...
I won't know how to face her.
But what do you think?
I don't believe that my mom is the murderer.
I believe you.
Why are you so sure?
You're a kind-hearted girl.
How can a mother who educates her daughter to be so kind...
do something so terrible?
Besides, you've told me before
that your mom loves you very much.
You're the only hope in her life.
A mother who loves her daughter this much...
could not do something this evil.
So, I believe her too.
Thank you.
Don't worry. I'll do my best for Aunt Ye's speedy recovery.
Dr. Xiao,
I really don't know what to say to show my gratitude.
You don't need to say anything.
-Zhou Xiaomeng is here! -Zhou Xiaomeng, she's here!
Ms. Zhou...
who will you attend the Bygg Charity Night with?
Come on, tell us.
-Ms. Zhou. -Tell us, Ms. Zhou.
Ms. Zhou...
It looks more complete based on the shape.
Yes, it's quite nice.
I agree.
Things like this are rare.
Yan,
let's go take a look over there.
I think it's preserved quite well.
Yes.
Director Lin.
-Excuse me. -Sure.
Director Lin,
you're looking so pretty today.
You're so kind.
Xiaomeng, you look beautiful today.
Yan,
this is Director Lin from the Children Welfare Center.
Director Lin, this is Zhou Yanzhao from Shenghai Group.
Hello, Director Lin.
Mr. Zhou, I've heard a lot about you.
Just call me Yan, Director Lin.
Yan.
Let me know if there are any needs at the Children Welfare Center.
I'm willing to do my part.
The Children Welfare Center has been receiving a lot of attention.
We're doing fine financially.
I heard that Shenghai Hospital...
has been participating in many charity events lately.
Can you get us in next time?
Sure. I'll make some arrangements.
We'll be providing regular check-ups
and treatments for the kids in the future.
Transportation can be provided if there is a need.
That's wonderful!
I thank you on behalf of the kids.
Director Lin,
kids in the Children Welfare Center are really adorable.
I'll visit them more often when I can.
You should come together.
We welcome the both of you.
Would you like some fruits?
Have some please.
Xiaomeng, here.
Give it to Yan.
Have some fruit.
Xiaomeng, what fruit would you like?
No, thanks, Director Lin.
How about you and Yan take a picture together?
Sure.
I'll take the photo for you.
Ready? Three, two, one.
-What's wrong? -Yan, what's wrong?
Are you alright?
Was there peach in the fruit I just ate?
Your neck is red.
You're allergic to peach.
What should we do?
No worries, I'll get someone to get some allergy medicine.
Xiaomeng, why don't you take Yan to rest over there?
Give him some warm water.
-Okay. -Don't worry.
I bet it feels awful.
It's very itchy.
Yan, are you feeling better now?
You've found out about my weakness.
You happy now?
Yan, Director Lin said,
it's the fuzz of the peach that caused the allergy.
So from now on, not only you can't eat peaches,
you'll have to be careful when you're eating mixed fruit from platters, too.
Yan, thank you.
If you want me to thank you, just say it.
No, I want to thank you...
for willing to help the kids at the Children Welfare Center.
Kids there all have a sad stories.
I just wanted to help them.
Are you close to that Director Lin?
We've met and chatted briefly at the Children Welfare Center before.
I don't know why but...
it felt surprisingly familiar when we first met.
Ms. Qin from the Children Welfare Center said,
she donated all her earnings to the welfare home.
She isn't married and doesn't have kids.
So, she takes those kids in the welfare home as her own.
She's a kind soul.
-Look over there! -Wow, that's so cool!
Look!
-That's so cool! -Yeah!
You were outstanding!
I'm a beginner. I'm still getting used to the techniques.
No, you did well.
Zhou Yanzhao.
I'm Eisenman.
We should put our skills to the test some time.
No problem.
You said you're a beginner. How long have you been learning?
I know nothing about it
a week ago.
Wow, incredible!
Actually, I did it for you.
For me?
My company is interested in working with you.
But, you've turned us down many times.
So here I am.
Well, there's no need for you to learn water-skiing.
No, I know how you are.
You only take jobs that you're interested in.
I'd like you to know that I'm willing to spend time learning your hobby.
At the same time, you'll have my full trust...
and ample space for creativity.
Zhou, you're the most sincere boss I've ever come across.
My pleasure. Here, please.
Hi, I'm Qiao Zhen.
Is it something about Xiaomeng?
Chairman Zhou,...
I know I took the liberties to come see you.
These photos were about to be published in the news...
by a journalist whom I share a good friendship with.
It's about you and Xiaomeng.
We've suppressed this news.
Xiaomeng is a kids' TV show host.
Her image has always been healthy and cheerful.
And, her media exposure is extremely high.
The last news had the TV station upset.
If word gets out this time,
it'll greatly affect Xiaomeng.
What do you suggest I do?
Protect Xiaomeng.
Don't let her be the target of public criticism.
Thank you for being so considerate of Xiaomeng.
I know what to do.
Of course, we are also thinking for ourselves.
It isn't easy to create content.
Changing the host would also be troubling for the TV program.
Please keep what we've talked about from Xiaomeng.
Can you leave me these photos?
Sure.
(Shenghai Group)
Zhou, we meet again.
Welcome. Take a seat.
I've come to talk about the design concept of the stadium.
The marketing department of my company has shown me the preliminary proposal.
Based on that information,
you're hoping to build a stadium that's completely unique.
Yes.
Chairman Zhou.
I admire your ambition.
This is the proposal I've drawn up.
But, it's only preliminary.
I hope to discuss the details with you.
Zhou, you've rendered a professional design concept.
Did you major in Design?
I'm flattered.
I've only taken some design courses as elective while studying abroad.
Mr. Zhou,
you've decided to start from scratch.
That's right.
So we... have to start by creating stories.
It's not easy.
See, a stadium project...
shouldn't only focus on the function of catering sports events.
For example,
maybe we can add some sports-themed attractions
so more people can enjoy the joy of exercising
as well as the fun of each type of sports.
This is my intention when I designed this stadium.
Mr. Zhou, your thoughts are very interesting.
However,
it's too difficult to create a story
about a stadium that's suitable...
for sports event while incorporating the latest international elements.
I understand.
That's why we need to find a way
to gather some national and international sport stories.
Zhou, I'll get the draft to you as soon as possible.
Okay. I'll get a detailed proposal to you as soon as possible too.
-It's my pleasure to work with you. -Same here.
I'd never thought you would get him to work with us this way.
Many foreign designers are easy.
They'll decide whether to work with you based on the aura.
Once they feel you're a kindred spirit,
they'll start sharing their design visions and thoughts.
However, what surprises me more is...
how much you know in the field of professional architectural design.
Why aren't you a designer yet?
It has always been my dream to be one.
I've been dreaming of designing a stadium that's unique.
That's why I took architectural design as an elective course.
But plans can never catch up with changes.
Here I am today.
Are there still many people doing what they don't love,
something that's completely opposite from their hobbies?
I get it.
But, you do excel in any field you chose to put yourself in.
Your proposal was impressive.
You must have put a lot of effort into it.
I'm flattered. The credit goes to the team.
I'm glad you said that.
For that, lunch is on me.
There's a nice restaurant near the office.
Let's have a meal together.
If we're seen together, aren't you concerned
there would be gossips?
I've never cared about what others might think of me.
Do you?
What will we do after this?
No idea yet.
This tastes delicious.
Here's your sashimi.
Thank you.
Look, isn't that Chairman Zhou and Sun Lingxi?
So they're really an item?
They must be on a date.
Looks like the rumors are true.
Pictures, quick. Take a picture.
Quick, look.
Quickly...
A few more shots.
Here's the prawns you ordered.
-Thank you. -Wow,
it looks exquisite!
Hurry, get a few more!
I'm taking more...
Should I get out of the frame?
Chairman Zhou, why don't you pose for the picture?
Let's do it together.
Ready, one, two, three.
You see that?
It's really the both of them!
It's true!
You see what I mean? That restaurant is pretty good.
It's my favorite.
Chairman Zhou.
-They're here. -Time to go.
What's going on?
I don't know. Nothing happened.
Xiaomeng,...
how's work today?
Here, coffee for you.
Thank you.
You must be tired.
Come on, I'll show you something.
I'm sorry, I...
Don't say no yet.
Just play along for today, please?
Jiang Ze, stop wasting time on me.
You know it's impossible between us.
There's nothing that's impossible.
All effort is worthwhile as long as hope's still there.
Am I right?
There's really no need for any of this.
There are obviously better choices for you.
There's really no need to prove your charm this way.
I'm not the one who made the decision.
It's him.
I'm sorry.
I have a prior engagement, I have to go.
You're going to see Yan?
Yan already has a beautiful woman in his life.
There's no need to wait for him.
Why don't you start over?
What did you say?
Don't you know?
Everyone in the whole company knows.
It's Yan's business who he wants to date.
It has nothing to do with me.
You look so anxious,
who are you thinking of?
I'm thinking...
if Yan has feelings for someone.
Didn't I tell you before...
To not stick my nose in your business, right?
I'm just curious...
how did Yan fall for another person so quickly?
Jiang Ze has been pursuing me for so long.
I have no idea if I'll ever be moved.
It's best that you learn from me.
Dwelling in the past brings you nothing good.
I'll try to be like you.
I won't be a busybody over whether you have a girlfriend or not.
You'd better.
Remember,
whether I have a girlfriend or not has nothing to do with you.
You have no rights to be all up in my business.
You just need to take care of your own life.
Stay out of my business.
Have you taken care of your own things?
Are you not going to go on a date with Jiang Ze today?
I know.
Yan doesn't want me to be with Jiang Ze.
Don't be silly.
It'll benefit Shenghai Group if you marry Jiang Ze.
So... does Yan want me to be with Jiang Ze?
That way, you'll get to be with Lingxi. Am I right?
You're over-thinking this.
Do you think I'll excuse what you and your mom did...
just because I'm with Sun Lingxi?
That's not what I meant.
I knew that...
you just can't wait for me to get rid of such a trouble maker like you.
Mind your own business,...
and stay out of mine.
鈾?Friends have told me 鈾?
鈾?Not to mess around With my own happiness 鈾?
鈾?But being alive is already so tiring 鈾?
鈾?I pretend I want to escape 鈾?
鈾?Despite my love I cannot show you my true feelings 鈾?
鈾?What a joke this is 鈾?
鈾?A love too deep 鈾?
鈾?Can easily make one sacrifice 鈾?
鈾?I can easily make one sink 鈾?
鈾?Can easily make one acts recklessly 鈾?
鈾?And fill one with scars 鈾?
How...
How did we come to be like this?
Why did I still let those words hurt you...
knowing that it hurts myself more?
Perhaps... what we've been battling isn't love or hate.
But rather, fate.
Oh how I'd like to fight alongside you.
But you are my fate.
I'm sorry.
How is it going with Zhou Yanzhao?
It's clear that he wants that piece of land.
He's started to discuss the overall planning with the architect.
That's fast!
That's unlike him.
The Yunnan Resort Village project really hit him hard.
He's eager to start another project to prove himself.
It's not surprising.
What about you?
I...
I don't know what I can do to win his heart.
He's used to keeping a distance with everybody.
The whole Shenghai Group has heard the rumor of you two dating.
Make it a reality fast.
I'll do my best.
But I can feel the strong bond between them.
It may look like they hate each other, but they're still holding on.
So... in my opinion, it's not that simple.
You must know that this outcome affects your future,
as well as Xiaomeng's future.
I don't think I need to tell you just how much effort it requires.
I think...
this requires something more drastic to break them up completely
in order for us to have a chance.
I've never had any doubt in your capability.
But, let me remind you,
Zhou Yanzhao is much more lethal than you can ever imagine,...
in every aspect.
Xiaomeng.
Lingxi? What brings you here?
Chairman Zhou told me to come.
He has some work to discuss with me.
Come on in then.
There you are, Xiaomeng.
-Sister Hua. -Ms. Sun, you're here too.
Perfect timing, I'll be cooking soon. You can try some.
Alright.
Chairman Zhou.
Sister Hua, another set of cutlery.
Alright.
Lingxi, let's eat first.
We can talk while we eat.
Okay.
Sit here, Lingxi.
Lingxi, why don't you sit with me?
Is there any request or demand on the design from the architect?
They said...
Go on, Lingxi.
Eisenman likes your idea.
He wants to have a meeting with you alone.
Set up an appointment with him for me right away.
I'd like to meet him after dinner.
Alright, I'll make a call right away.
Excuse me, I need to take a call.
(Ze Calling)
Hello?
Xiaomeng, where are you?
At home.
Sun Lingxi is here too.
Why is she at your house?
Do you want to go for a car ride?
I don't think it's appropriate for me to go out now.
Okay, I'll come and get you.
Wait for me.
I...
How are the files coming along?
Don't worry, Chairman Zhou.
Everything is ready.
Good.
Lingxi, Yan, please enjoy your meal.
I'm heading out to meet a friend.
Who is it?
A friend.
Please enjoy the dinner.
I'll excuse myself.
Is it Jiang Ze?
Take it easy.
Why are you drinking so much?
Hey, stop!
You'll be drunk before you know it, Xiaomeng.
Well, being drunk makes me feel better.
Don't...
Hey, it's all done!
Get another bottle for me?
That's enough, you're drunk.
No more drinking.
-I'm not drunk. -Take a rest.
I'm just...
I'm just a little dizzy.
Waiter.
-Yes, miss? -Please...
get me another bottle.
Mr. Jiang?
No, no. She's had too much. Don't give her more.
Sorry, miss. We're out of alcohol.
You're out?
Then, what are those?
Sorry, miss. Those aren't for sale.
Why?
Fine. I'll get them myself.
Be careful...
Well, don't just stand there.
-Go get her a glass of lemon water. -Yes.
One more bottle. I haven't had enough!
No more drinking. Just look at how drunk you are.
One more bottle.
One more bottle, please. One more.
Alright, that's enough.
Let's go home.
I'm fine if you don't get me one more bottle.
Let's go for a walk instead.
Alright. Come on, let's go.
Let's go.
See, I've told you to take it easy.
Alright, I'll take you home.
No!
Be careful.
I'm not going home!
Yan is with Lingxi.
I don't want to disturb them.
Then tell me, where would you like to go?
Let's go to...
somewhere nobody can find me.
And where is that?
Well,...
I'll go anywhere...
as long as it's not home.
