[Episode 2]
- Excuse me, I have to answer a call. - Sure.
- Hello, hubby.
You're here?
I'm upstairs.
Okay. I'll be there right away.
Hubby, I'm here!
Starting today,
wherever you go,
I will go there too!
Listen carefully,
I'm not the type to pester,
and I will not persuade you to stay. But if you take one more step today,
one step, I will dump you.
Even if you come back to me begging, I will not take you back.
He Zhijuan!
[Xia Qian, I'm sorry! I cannot get engaged to you.
Miss Xia, my fiancé is here to pick me up.
Let me introduce you guys, He Zhijuan.
Sorry for arriving late.
Hello, I am He Zhijuan.
What's wrong, Miss Xia?
I don't know. It's just...
just that my eyes are allergic.
Sorry, Miss Ning Meng, I have to go.
Qianqian.
- I'm so sorry - I'm sorry.
- Qianqian. - You arrived?
Qianqian.
Sit down.
Are you okay?
That's enough.
Are you okay?
I feel much better.
- Slow down, slow down. - Shuangshuang,
I still don't understand.
Help me come up with a reason,
what do you think is wrong with He Zhijuan?
- Exactly. - Do you think he was diagnosed with a terminal illness?
He must have his own reasons.
Something bad happened?
Something bad really did happen.
No no no.
I think it must be like how we discussed.
At the time,
I didn't give him the opportunity and time to explain.
He must have left in anger.
If he wanted to explain, he would have already explained, right?
No? Never mind.
Forget him, a man like him doesn't deserve your love.
He's worth it.
Let me tell you the truth, He Zhijuan is not that type of person.
I swear, He Zhijuan is not that type of person.
I know him really well.
Did you know at the time he looked back at me?
He looked at me. He wanted to say something.
But I didn't give him time, so he left.
He will come back.
But Shuangshuang,
at the time...
why did I say those words?
I told him, if
he comes back,
I will dump him.
- Don't take him back. We don't want him. - I want him.
Yes, don't take him back.
- I want him, I want him, I want him. - Don't think about him.
What are you doing?
You aren't thinking I am going to get drunk because of He Zhijuan, right?
I... just really never expected that
we would meet again like that.
What will you do next?
That's such a coincidence.
Do you think Ning Meng planned it on purpose?
I don't think so.
It felt like Ning Meng didn't know.
How did He Zhijuan react when he saw you? You can't say that he didn't know.
Lihe Capital has obtained 3% of Director Lin's shares.
Thank you for your work, Director Qin.
Oh, wait. I should call you Vice GM Qin now.
Six years ago, I brought you to Evergreen.
I knew already at the time, with your ability,
you would be able to earn that position.
It would not have been possible without the help of Director Xue.
Whether or not Lihe Capital will be able to acquire Evergreen,
all depends on Vice GM Qin.
Please excuse me. I need to take this call.
Hello Mengmeng.
What's wrong? Is your brother mad at you again?
Come to my office, I will be there shortly.
See you in a bit.
I'm sorry Director Xue, Sheng Zhening's sister is looking for me. I will head back first.
I did not realize that you get along quite well with both brother and sister of the Sheng family.
Hebo,
it wasn't easy for you to get to this position, don't let your emotions lead you astray.
Don't worry, I know what to do.
[Alipay]
What does this mean? Why did you transfer money to me?
We'll pool our money together to refund Ning Meng. Let's not take this case.
Shuangshuang, let me tell you. That's really not necessary. I have money.
Don't tell me you have money.
I already heard you sold your car.
Yes, money needs to be made. But you shouldn't make it so hard on yourself.
Besides, no matter what happens, I can support you financially.
Why are you smiling? I'm being serious.
Thank you.
There is no need to say that between us. Please don't burden yourself.
I am not burdened, I just really want to take this case.
And it's not because of money.
It's because, after He Zhijuan ran away from the engagement, I wanted to change.
Under those tough circumstances, I forced myself to start my own company.
We've worked really hard these past few years. We took all cases,
to make "Worth or Not" today.
This is our dream. Why should we let go of the case because of He Zhijuan?
Besides, he isn't important to me anymore.
Not important? Is that really how you feel?
I am the person who understands the most about how much you suffered when He Zhijuan left you.
You became a different person. Just to not think about him, you threw yourself into work. You worked like crazy.
I don't want you to be like that again. Now that He Zhijuan is back,
I am afraid you will become that person again.
Shuangshuang, just because He Zhijuan is back,
I've seen him and now I understand.
It's been two years. He has his own life, I have my own.
We are not important to each other anymore.
It's true,
helping my ex-boyfriend schedule his wedding is ridiculous.
But what can I do? This ridiculous situation happened and I need to fix it.
If I break the contract and not take this case,
it would mean that I have not forgotten him.
So, we must take it. We must finish it beautifully.
Come on, let's drink.
Let's work hard.
What brings you here today?
I miss Brother Hebo, of course.
Miss me?
I thought you are busy dating and don't have time to miss me.
Just tell me. What is it?
Looks like I can't hide anything from you, Brother Hebo.
Brother Hebo. I'm getting married. At the Evergreen Hotel.
I thought your brother doesn't want you to get married so early.
You've talked him into it already?
Of course not! You know my brother.
I've hired a bargainer in secret to secure a spot for me.
I'm signing the contract tomorrow.
- So you're the one who hired the bargainer? - Yes.
Your brother will be pissed off if he knows about it!
I know! So I'm counting on you, Brother Hebo, to say something nice for me.
Please, Brother Hebo.
Okay, okay. I got it.
You're the best, Brother Hebo!
Come, have a seat.
You should talk to your brother more often.
He's not unreasonable. He cares too much about you, and he is afraid that you will be hurt.
I know. I'll find a time to have a good chat with him.
- Oh, I almost forgot. - What?
Congratulations on your promotion, Brother Hebo!
You’ve been blowing your money again?
Not at all! I know Brother Hebo doesn't like it when I spend frivolously.
I've made them by myself. Do they look nice?
- Really? Did you really make them by yourself? - Yeah.
Do you like them, Brother Hebo?
Yes.
I'm glad you like them!
I'll be heading home. Zhijuan is waiting for me at home.
See you. Bye!
- Take care. - Will do.
Assistant An, I've arrived at Evergreen.
The representative of Xinyuan Technology has not arrived yet. Maybe you can wait for him in the meeting room.
Is that the case?
Okay, I got it.
Xia Qian.
What's up?
Can we talk?
He Zhijuan.
I've got other stuff to deal with.
Just say what you want.
I hope that you can terminate Mengmeng's order with you.
About this...
you should talk to your fiancée, not me.
She doesn't know about it. And I don't want her to know.
I wasn't planning on telling her about it.
So you ran away from our engagement ceremony
because of Ning Meng?
It had nothing to do with her. I just realized on that day that I didn't love you anymore.
I couldn't force myself to be with you.
You realized that you didn't love me on the engagement day?
You realized it pretty early.
Xia Qian, can you not be sarcastic?
There's no such rule that I can only love one person in my life.
I've known you for such a long time,
and this is the first time I've realized that you've taken things so easy.
I know you need money these days. There's ¥100,000 in this card.
I want you to give up your job.
Mengmeng doesn't know anything about us yet.
We haven't met in two years, but I don't think that's a long time.
You forgot who I am?
It's true that I'm poor and I need money.
But I'm not that pathetic to take money from you!
I repeat. Rest assured,
I won't tell Ning Meng what happened between us.
If it's possible, I wish I never had anything to do with you.
Just take your hush money back. I don't need it.
Anything else?
If you can terminate this contract,
I'll satisfy whatever requests you make.
Think of it as my compensation for hurting you emotionally.
Compensation for hurting me? How?
Who do you think you are?
And I’m over what happened between us a long time ago.
Anything else?
Xia Qian.
[Xia Qian]
Brother, this is my boyfriend Zhijuan.
Nice to meet you, I'm He Zhijuan.
Thank you.
Did you hear what we were talking about?
I'm feeling sad now,
not because I'm still in love with him.
It's because it's hard for me to accept the truth of why he left me.
Do you know how overboard he went?
Two years ago, he ran away
from our engagement ceremony.
Why would he run away?
I've been thinking about it for two years.
I was even thinking if he's got some terminal disease,
and couldn't be cured, and he left me because he was afraid I'd be sad.
But in the end, this is what the truth is.
He just didn't like me anymore.
But it's okay.
I don't care about it anymore now.
I'm so sorry.
I've said so much nonsense to you.
Sorry for wasting your time.
I've been using this handkerchief. I'll wash it and give it back to you tomorrow.
Excuse me.
Miss Xia, the agent is waiting in the meeting room. Where are you?
Oh. Just a moment, I'll be right there.
Okay. See you soon.
I've got something urgent to deal with. I'll be on my way.
Thank you. I'll give it back to you tomorrow.
- Hello? - Hello, Brother.
Are you free tonight?
I want to invite you over for dinner and... have a chat with you.
I need to talk to you too.
That's great. I'll see you tonight!
Brother! You've brought so much delicious food for me!
I'll make dinner first, and then we can eat and talk together.
That's delicious! These are all my favorites!
Have a seat.
I need to talk to you about something.
Zhijuan! Come on in!
My brother made a lot of delicious food for us!
Brother.
Brother Zhening.
There's one more dish. You guys can sit first.
My brother is slow to warm up. It'll get better.
- Okay. - Have a seat.
Brother, I've mentioned to you before
that Zhijuan is super good.
He's the best and the youngest psychiatrist in his clinic.
And he's very gentle and considerate.
Everyone is envious of me.
They said I've found the perfect man for myself the first time.
Mengmeng, you're overstating it.
I should have let you meet with my brother earlier.
He'd know how great you are.
I'm full, enjoy the meal you two.
The fish my brother made is really delicious. Have some more.
Eat more.
- You don't have to see me out. - I do!
Zhijuan, my brother is not like that usually.
Please don't be mad.
It's okay. If I had a sister as lovely as you,
I'd be unhappy if she brings her boyfriend home.
I'll go downstairs with you.
It's okay.
- I'll be leaving now. - Take care!
Brother, why are you putting on a long face?
What's wrong with Zhijuan?
Are you the one who hired Xia Qian
to get the wedding reservation?
You know that I don't want you to get married so early.
So you're thinking to act first and ask later?
I just want to get married with him right away!
How long have you guys been dating? Do you really know him?
How would I not?
When I saw him, at the first sight,
I decided that he's the one I'd like to marry in my life.
It's an instinct. You don't get it.
I think you're infatuated.
I just love him. I just want to marry him.
Even if I'm infatuated, I'd still be willing to do that.
GM Sheng, you might be overreacting.
I think Mr. He loves Miss Ning Meng a lot.
How long does love last?
To see if a man
can hold onto his marriage,
we have to see if he's responsible.
If He Zhijuan can run away
from his engagement ceremony because of love,
he could be leaving Mengmeng for someone else.
How can I be rest assured if Mengmeng is married to
a man like him with no sense of responsibility?
Makes sense.
Then what do we do about Miss Xia?
She's bargained down all the orders we need.
And I've made an appointment with her to sign the reservation contract for Banquet Hall 8 tomorrow.
We can't sign the contract?
Tell me why.
I have my own reasons and I don't have to explain it to you.
By the way, here's all your reward
for bargaining for Evergreen.
I don't want money. I want the reservation for the wedding in May.
Then there's nothing for us to discuss.
You've gone back on your words, do you know?
I've got other work to do. If you don't have anything else, I may ask you to leave.
I'll ask Anan to transfer the money to your bank account!
GM Sheng.
I saw Miss Xia waiting for someone in the garden.
I've been using it.
I'll wash it and give it back to you tomorrow.
It's such a hot day. I hope she doesn't get a heatstroke.
- Is it hot today? - Yeah.
38 degrees celsius.
I found a tiny hole in the handkerchief
and decided to embroider a blue daze flower for you.
I hope you don't mind.
It's growing well. See, I was right.
It's because I have an uncle who's also a gardener.
I learned a bit from him before.
I don't know how to take care of other flowers, but I really like blue daze.
That's why I know more about it.
Your hand!
Wipe it.
The juice of blue daze is poisonous. You have a wound on your hand.
Wipe it here or you might suffer from skin allergy.
Why are you not talking at all?
Take this pack of tissues with you. You can use it later.
I won't be bothering you. Take care.
Hello, Anan.
Come to my office.
Sheng Zhening has no spirit of contract at all!
It's not only the spirit of contract,
he commits treachery and goes back on his word!
Sister Qian did so much research just for this order,
and he just said no like that!
What do we do?
[Anan]
- What now? - Hello, Miss Xia.
GM Sheng had thought about your situation.
We have a plan for you.
If you give up on the wedding reservation,
as an exchange,
we'll give you another big bargaining order.
Our company is planning on bulk-buying cars.
- Maybe you can... - I can't. Not interested.
Miss Xia.
Hello?
She hung up.
What a weird man!
Wait... what did he say?
I can't believe he said
that as an exchange they would give me a car bulk-buying order.
- Buying cars? - Yeah.
We've never had a car bargaining order before.
If we make it this time,
we'll have... we'll have nothing to worry about in the future!
Do you only care about money?
Don't be such a loser! We can't take "food handed out in contempt". (T/N: Chinese idiom for 'not to be pitied')
Don't you understand?
We can't take it.
Then what do we do?
Do we still want the wedding reservation?
Yes. We have to get it.
Sheng Zhening promised to make the reservation for me.
Since he went back on his word and won't give it to me, I'll have to get it by myself.
- How? - Don't know.
You basically said nothing.
If...
If we can get the hotel reservation list for May,
does that mean we can potentially find someone who will change their wedding date?
But the key is that we need to get the list first.
We're not spies.
I've got a plan.
This is your first day at work. Your probation is three months.
If you want to stay at Evergreen,
you have to stay alert.
- Is that clear? - Yes!
Good. Get to your work.
[Sheng Zhening]
[Xia Qian]
Miss Xia, now that you've signed the contract,
I assume you've agreed to give up on the wedding reservation?
It's over and we're partners now.
Yeah, sure. All the best to our collaboration.
Is there...
Do you have any concerns?
No.
We've signed the contract.
I'll do my best to do whatever I've promised you, GM Sheng.
Anything else? I'll be on my way if there's nothing else.
Just a moment. I have a little bit of doubt.
Before, I felt that
you were not so willing to take on the car bargaining order, but why all of a sudden...?
For money's sake. Who doesn't like money?
And people should be flexible.
Evergreen will give you a satisfactory reward for sure.
Thank you, GM Sheng.
This copy is yours.
I have a very busy schedule these days,
and I'm not sure when I'll be available. For the car bargaining,
we might need you to show up anytime—
No problem. 24/7, anytime you need.
Good.
Bye.
It's signed, the car bargaining contract with Sheng Zhening.
So the next step for me is to see
if there's a chance to get the reservation list for May from him.
What about you two? Report to me.
I've been washing dishes for a whole day and have no time to search for information at all. I can't even
stand up straight. I regret doing this.
Maybe we should terminate the plan.
No way! I thought you were proud of yourself when you first came up with the plan.
How can you go back on your word?
Who would expect that being a spy is so tiring?
I've got something.
I heard from my colleague who is in charge of the banquet halls
that the Evergreen wedding reservation materials
will be eventually submitted to two people.
One is the General Manager, Sheng Zhening.
The other is the Vice General Manager, I think it's Qin something Bo.
That's an important piece of info.
I'll be dealing with Sheng Zhening from today on.
You two can deal with the Qin something Bo.
[Sheng Zhening]
Hello?
Miss Xia, come over to Evergreen now.
We need to go on a business trip.
What business trip? It's midnight. Are you out of your mind?
[Sheng Zhening]
GM Sheng.
I'm so sorry.
No no no no no.
I'm leaving now. Thirty minutes.
No, twenty minutes. I'll be right there.
I'm right here! Oops!
I'm fine! You don't have to help me with it.
I'll be right there!
I'm sorry, I'm a bit late.
Thank you, GM Sheng.
GM Sheng.
I didn't know that you work so hard.
Going on a business trip so late at night,
and driving by yourself. Where's Assistant An?
I've arranged for him to deal with some other business.
Well, if you're tired, I can drive.
It's okay, I can drive by myself.
GM Sheng, where are we going?
Evergreen has a new business hotel.
The purpose of the trip is to
make arrangements for the soft opening of the hotel,
and finish the car bulk-buying order at the same time.
It'll take some time. You can have a rest if you're tired.
I'm okay. I'm not tired.
Are we here?
Have you arranged the rooms for us?
Yes.
Take her to her room for some rest then.
Miss Xia, shall I take you to your room?
Okay.
Your luggage.
Thank you, Assistant An.
You're welcome.
By the way, can you tell me which room GM Sheng is staying?
