[Master Of My Own]

[Episode 19]

[Su Weiran (Executive Director)]

The sales performance of Qilin's branches

is pretty good.

Currently, I'm in talks

with Wanwu Hotel regarding a partnership.

I'm guessing

[Ning Meng: Invitation]
another two or three drinking sessions

[Ning Meng: Invitation]
could seal the deal.

[Ning Meng: Invitation]

Lu Mingming, are you listening?

What is it?

[Zeng Yuhang]

Mr. Zeng.

Hey, Ning Meng.

I'm with Lu Mingming.

I heard you guys have a small

investment promotional event tomorrow.

That's right.

Lu Mingming can't make it tomorrow.

Is it okay if I go instead?

You see,

I have money.

And I have a good eye.

I will invest in it if the project is good.

No problem.

Tomorrow afternoon at two.

It's at our company's conference hall.

Welcome.

Alright then. See you tomorrow.

Ning Meng is personally organizing

the promotional event tomorrow.

Are you really not going?

I don't have the time. What can I do?

[Zeng Yuhang]

Are the materials ready?

We're good. Rest assured.

Ms. Shi.

Mr. Liang, welcome.

Mr. Zhou, welcome.

Please step inside.

Okay.

[Eaglestone Capital]
We'll head inside then.

Great to have you, sirs.

Ms. Shi Ying.

Ms. Shi.

Welcome.

You look gorgeous today.

Thank you.

Mr. Lu is busy today.

He couldn't be at two places at the same time.

It's alright. Happy to have you two here.

Ms. Shi, I'm Su Weiran from BDI.

You're Ning Meng's senior, right?

Yes.

Thanks for coming.

My junior is organizing
her first promotional event.

Of course, I had to show support.

Thank you. Please head inside.

Mr. Su, this way, please.

[Mobi Fitness Equipment]

[Smart technology awakens new fitness experience,
promotional event]

I'm honored to have

everyone's attendance today.

From what I can see,

everyone is doing pretty well in keeping fit.

I suppose you guys have been exercising.

Today, I've prepared a PowerPoint

with 200 slides.

The presentation will be at least six hours

and it will cover all your needs.

Just kidding.

Rest assured, ladies and gentlemen.

I won't take up

your precious dinner time.

Today, I'd like to introduce to you

a cutting edge company specializing

in smart fitness equipment.

Yunniao Tech.

It's been five years since they invented

their first product,

the Mobi rowing machine.

During the past five years,

through constant upgrades and improvements,

they not only had breakthroughs
in their hardware,

but they've also created software.

[Mobi Product Line]
It provides quality applications

and allows users

to customize their own training plans.

Now, we'll go over

Mobi's aesthetics.

Let's take a closer look

at this treadmill.

Its ability to fold 90 degrees upright

means it takes up minimal space.

Also, check out

the rear panel's design.

If you place it in your house,

it works as a nice decoration piece.

The biggest advantage
to Mobi fitness equipment

is its competitive edge.

I'm talking about the social attributes.

This idea came from Mobi's creator,

Mr. Lin Dayi.

Only projects with added value make money.

So when we invest, it's not only in the product,

but also its concept.

Ning Meng.

Your brief but concise presentation

was very easy to digest.

I have no objections.

Ning Meng, I'm in for sure.

How are you guys picking investors?

Forgive me

for my brazenness.

This project has very strong foundations.

So today is not only

about the attendees perusing the project.

It is also for the investee

to pick their investors.

For instance, those with advertising

and e-commerce resources

will be given more priority

for resource integration.

I have e-commerce resources.

We have advertising resources.

I have influencers to promote the product.

Mr. Zeng and I have plenty

of KOL resources.

Wait, wait. Don't fight with me.

If we're talking about resources,

I have the most comprehensive ones.

Mr. Liang.

[Eaglestone Capital]
If you have a clear idea of your intention,

please send your investment share

and amount to my email.

I will make a comparison

and tell you the results later.

Okay.

Thank you.

Ning Meng.

Remember to keep my share.

The more the better.

No small share.

Ning Meng, this young man

seems close to you.

Will you approach him privately?

Mr. Liang.

Mr. Zeng is my good friend.

But rest assured.

I will

be open, fair, and impartial

in choosing the investors.

That's good.

You're showing no favoritism at all.

Is this considered a bad friend?

Sirs and madams.

If you have time tonight,

what about we have dinner? I'll host.

Never mind the dinner, Ms. Shi.

This is an amazing project.

We have to hurry back

and come up with a figure.

There's plenty of time later to eat.

Yes, yes.

Am I right?

Yes.

I will be waiting for you all in Shanghai then.

Okay.

See you.

See you, Mr. Liang.

See you again.

Mr. Zhou.

Goodbye.

Thank you.

Thanks for coming.

Goodbye.

Thanks, Mr. Liang.

This young man.

All the best.

See you around.

The event was very successful. Congrats.

Thanks, Senior.

Mr. Su, if you have time,

why don't you come to my office for some tea?

Sure.

Ning Meng, you're free after this, right?

Let's go grab some nice food together.

We're not trying to bribe you though.

No, we are.

The event was a huge success.

You should celebrate a little.

Mr. Zeng, allow me to put that on the tab first.

Now that the memory is still fresh in my mind,

I want to get

the minutes archived.

Alright. That's fine. We can go another time.

Okay. Keep in touch.

I'll send you our quotation

later tonight.

Okay.

Bye-bye.

Senior.

You're still here.

I just finished talking to Ms. Shi.

She only had good things to say about you.

How about I treat you to a celebratory meal?

I'm exhausted
from working so hard the past few days.

What about some other time?

I'll treat you.

Sounds good.

Go back and rest well.

I can give you a ride.

No need to be polite with me. Come on.

Okay.

Thanks.

Sorry, Senior,

for inviting you at such short notice.

No need to apologize.

Wasn't today's project

the one you told me about at the cafe?

Your friend's project?

So the "friend" was you yourself.

I've made a fool of myself.

We were in the same faculty.
No need to shy away.

I didn't want your judgment

to be clouded by sentiments.

I prefer to get an objective view

from you.

Honestly,

I didn't have high hopes
for this project initially.

But today,

after learning about the upgrades,

I changed my mind.

The project has a lot of potential.

This is totally unrelated

to our personal relationship.

It comes solely

from a professional investor's point of view.

To perform so well

at your first promotional event

deserves praise.

Thanks, Senior.

Compared to you, I'm still lacking.

Now Mobi has become a hot product.

Do you think I still have a chance?

You wish to invest?

Sure.

But you'll need to compete fairly with the rest.

Hope you understand.

Of course.

Watching your presentation on stage today

reminded me

of the time I first got into investment.

I was also full of passion then.

I did not simply give up

on the projects I had faith in.

But now,

I rarely invest so much feeling

in any one project.

Ning Meng.

Actually, I came today,

not because of the project,

or to meet Ms. Shi.

I just wanted to see you.

When I see you,

I wouldn't forget

who I really am.

The original intention I had
when I first left the campus

can only be found in you now.

[Eaglestone Capital]

Ning Meng, congratulations.

Congratulate me for what?

It's a secret.

Ning Meng.

Ms. Shi.

Have you decided

Mobi's limited partners?

Yes, I have.

In the end, I chose Mr. Liang,

Mr. Zhou and Mr. Zeng.

The share ratio is 4:3:3.

Okay. Get the contract drafted then.

Manager Ning.

Pardon?

You didn't hear wrong. Manager Ning.

Ning Meng.

It's been some time since you joined us.

For every task I gave you,

you've completed it wonderfully.

Particularly the Mobi project this time.

You were able to see it through

even without funding from the company.

You deserve the managerial position.

This time, the name cards are the real deal.

Congrats, Ning Meng.

-Congrats.
-Congrats.

Congrats, Ning Meng.

Thank you, Ms. Shi.

I only got to where I am today

because you trusted in me.

I mean it.

The road ahead is still long.

Keep at it.

We got you cakes. Come.

Check it out.

Everyone, come and eat the cake.

Come over.

Hurry over. Let's have some cake.

And you guys,

do your best too.

Yes, ma'am.

Keep it up!

We will.

All the best!

Thanks.

It's a happy occasion. Forget dieting.

I have a teleconference.

You guys enjoy it.

Go ahead.

Ms. Ning Meng. You're promoted.

Don't forget to treat us to a meal.

Will do.

Xiaoya, thank you.

You helped me a lot

when I joined the company.

Oh, save the niceties.

I'll need to think about it properly.

Should we have Japanese

or hotpot?

Let's have both. My treat.

We can even have two meals.

Great. It's set then.

Ning Meng?

Xiaoyang.

You guys have cakes?

Why are you here?

Here, have some cake.

I came to deliver a document to Ms. Shi.

Did something good happen?

"Investment Manager"?

Ning Meng, you got promoted!

I'm going to take this back and show Mr. Liu.

Investment manager.

Mr. Liu.

Look!

Ning Meng got promoted. "Investment Manager."

In such a short time?

I called it.

Ning Meng is amazing, isn't she?

Ning Meng really is talented.

See? I knew Ning Meng was good.

Yang Xiaoyang.

Get me a cup of coffee.

Okay, be right up.

You go ahead.

I knew it. I have a good eye after all.

Your coffee, Mr. Lu.

What were you guys hurrahing about outside?

What's up with Ning Meng?

Ning Meng has risen.

No, I mean, she got promoted.

Investment manager.

So she's a manager.

What's the big deal?

Well, Mr. Lu,

here's the thing. She started out
as a secretary like me.

Do you think I'd have
the chance to be promoted too?

I won't jump ship.

I'll stay at Joint Capital and serve you.

You think too much.

We'll have tea in place of wine

to congratulate Mengmeng
on her promotion to an investment manager.

Congrats, Ning Meng.

Thanks.

Congrats.

He, you need to learn from Mengmeng.

See how fast she got promoted?

We're here to celebrate
Ning Meng's accomplishment.

Give me a break.

Okay.

He is doing fine. He's the general manager.

It depends on who you compare to.

If compared to Senior Su,

he's still a far way off.

The way he works,

I need to put some pressure on him
from time to time.

That's how he improves, right?

Yes, right.

Qiqi is always right.

Oh, you.

You've been spoiled.

Mengmeng, when will Senior get here?

He has a meeting today.

So he's a little busy.

He'll come right after he's done.

It's okay. We're not in a rush.

Even so,

he's making time to come celebrate with you.

Listen.

When he gets here,

please don't run your mouth.

Miss.

I know.

Today's theme

is a school reunion.

I think he's here.

Hello, Senior?

We're in Room 11.

I'll go get you.

Senior.

Come in.

Sorry, I'm late.

Congrats, Ning Meng.

Not only for the green-lit project

but also for your promotion.

Thank you.

Take a seat.

Excuse me.

It's alright.

I had a meeting.

Let me make introductions.

This is my senior, Su Weiran.

Hello, Senior.

Hello.

She is my good friend, You Qi.

That's her boyfriend, He Yueluan.

Hello, this is my name card.

Mengmeng, he's even more handsome now.

And he gave you a huge bouquet of roses.

Don't waste this chance.

Nice to meet you.

[He Yueluan]

Renning Insurance.

Were you the person I contacted?

Are you Mr. Su of BDI?

What a coincidence.

Do you remember

the investor, Mr. Su, I talked about?

Turns out it's our senior.

I had to postpone it due to some reasons.

Sorry about that.

No worries. We can meet up another time

and have a talk.

Sure.

Seems like our school

really produces a lot of talents.

-That's true.
-That's true.

Come.

Let's talk while we eat.

Okay.

Let's eat.

Thanks.

It's been years since we graduated,

I do sometimes wish to go back for a look.

Let's go together someday.

-Sounds good.
-Sure.

I also miss my university days.

Life was so much simpler then.

Unlike now, things have become complicated.

Before, we just ate and played,

studied, and liked those

for what they were.

Like doing the things we enjoyed?

That's right.

What you liked to do was drag me

to go watch our senior play basketball.

That's because he played well.

You were really good, Senior.

I remember now.

At the time, you two

would often watch

basketball matches together, right?

Ning Meng was always quiet,

but you would be cheering loudly beside her.

That was you, right?

Was it you?

Yes.

Back then,

you were really cheerful and sweet.

Am I not sweet now?

You're even sweeter now.

You started dating back then?

We've been together a long time.

That's pretty amazing.

Senior.

I've got vivid memories of you.

Back then, your name was constantly ringing

in my ears.

My name?

That's right.

Was it in Year 1 or Year 2
of your postgraduate studies?

I think it was Year 2.

In order to pick a present for you,

Mengmeng really went all out.

Do you remember?

It's so long ago.

Why would Senior remember?

Even I don't remember it.

I think it was a CD.

Great memory you have there.

You should totally take part in "The Brain".

Don't tell me you remember the songs

in the CD too.

Talking about birthday presents,

one of my work partners,

the boss of Mobi,

Mr. Lin. His birthday is coming soon.

We're pretty close.

Since he's into fitness,

I'm planning to get...

Mengmeng!

We're reminiscing about our youthful memories.

Can you not talk about work?

Eat, this is good.

Mr. Su.

Dig in.

Let's have a good chat later.

Sorry about the last time.

Don't worry about it.

Mengmeng, your eye makeup is smudged.

Go and fix it in the toilet.

Okay.

You guys eat. I'm going to the restroom.

Okay.

Senior.

Did you listen to that CD?

I did.

Both Side A and Side B?

Yes, everything.

Did you open up the lyrics

and sang along?

Well, that I did not.

That's too bad.

It's nothing.

If you haven't thrown it away,

go back and take a closer look.

Side A, Side B,

inside and out.

Look through it properly.

Okay.

Mr. Su, let's drink.

Okay.

Here.

I'll join in.

Just this bit.

[Lu Jiming: I heard you got promoted. Congrats]

[Ning Meng: Thanks]

[Lu Jiming: I guess Joint Capital is like
the military academy]

[Ning Meng: ?]

[Lu Jiming: A base for cultivating talents]

What's on your mind?

Why are you smiling?

Because it's a happy occasion.

Come and eat.

Ning Meng.

This is the info on the e-florist.

Take a look when you're free.

Okay, I will.

Mr. Lin.

Hello, Ning Meng.

I have a piece of good news.

The investment funds are in.

I have a new idea I'd like to discuss with you.

Okay.

[Lin Dayi]

Here's the thing.

[Smart Fitness]
What I want to do now

is to upgrade Mobi's aesthetics.

For instance, the treadmill.

When it is folded up,

the platform

looks a little bland.

So I was thinking, perhaps we could

print some suitable artwork

on the back of it.

Give it some color, you know?

That's a pretty good idea.

Then when it's placed in the living room,

it won't look out of place.

It can also serve as decoration.

What we're lacking is a suitable designer.

Or we could just look for

a suitable art piece.

Do you have any contacts?

What about this, Mr. Lin?

Send me the style you're after

and the budget for it.

I'll look around.

Okay.

I'll let you handle it then.

Okay.

[Art exhibition]

[Han Yimeng]

[Han Yimeng]

Ning Meng.

Ms. Xu.

Ning Meng.

Mr. Zeng.

Fancy seeing you here.

Enough with the "Mr." and "Ms.".

What's this?

Did Mingming ask you

to come to support Meng too?

Come, I'll take you to them.

Tiantian.

Look over there.

Is that your dad's friend,

Mr. Kong from the auction company?

You should go and greet him.

I think so.

Come, hurry.

You go on.

I'll be right there.

Ning Meng, what are you doing here?

Mobi

wants to work with avant-garde artists

to design the treadmill's back panel.

So I came to see

if there's anything suitable.

I see.

I'll keep a lookout for you then.

We are partners after all.

Right?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You go ahead and look around.

I'll look for Tiantian.

Go ahead.

Do you like this painting?

Ms. Han.

We meet again.

Is this your work?

I don't really know arts

but for some reason,

the moment I saw it,

I was captivated.

It comes across as peaceful,

but there seems to be a hidden strength.

Maybe what I tried to portray

resonated with you.

Thank you for liking my work.

I hope

you don't mind me asking this.

Go on.

A fitness brand

would like to work with an avant-garde artist

to do a collaborative design.

I wonder if you'll be interested?

I am an independent artist.

I've never done business collaborations.

I understand.

But if you're willing,

you can give it a try.

This way, your work could reach

a wider audience.

I will think about it.

Thank you.

Not at all.

Yimeng, the interview is ready.

Can you do it now?

Okay.

Mr. Lu.

Take your time.

I have to go.

Let's go.

Ms. Han.

Can you tell us how it was for you

when you created this painting?

It was pretty chaotic.

Aside from eating and sleeping,

I only painted.

I didn't think

of doing anything else.

Was the creation of this artwork

related to tumultuous emotions?

Any piece of art

would require emotional input.

Then what kind of emotional state

were you and your boyfriend in at the time?

How is that question

related to the painting?

I hope everyone

can critique my work more.

Whether it be praise or critique,

I'm willing to accept all.

As for my personal life,

I prefer to keep that private.

Sorry.

Ms. Han.

It's been a long time

since you had any new work.

Why is that?

Have you lost inspiration?

Or is it because you experienced some ordeals?

Are you done?

Let it go, Mingming.

These days,

I've been trying hard

to readjust my creative process.

Does that mean

you are going through a slump?

Sorry. The interview ends here.

Let's go.

Ms. Han, did you create this piece

because you broke up?

Sorry. The interview is over.

No more questions.

Can you not

disrupt our interview?

-Was the painting made after you broke up?
-Can you not interrupt our interview?

Excuse us.

Did you break up?

What are you doing?

-Who takes photos like that?
-Miss Han.

Which media are you from?

Who are you to stop me?

I said no more photographs! Get that in your head!

What's your problem?

Enough! Stop fighting!

This is an art gallery.

Can you not make a scene?

Let's go.

What's going on?

Yimeng.

Are you okay?

Those reporters.

They only asked stupid questions.

Unbelievable.

Why did you pick a fight with them?

Can't you see they were purposely

steering you towards that topic?

I couldn't stand them bullying you.

But fighting won't solve anything.

Mingming, it's been so many years.

How come you haven't changed at all?

I'm tired.

I want some time alone.

[Self]

What happened?

Help me send Yimeng home first.

Okay.

You go.

Your bag.

I'll take care of the reporters.

Don't worry about it, Mingming.

Thanks.

I have a foul temper, don't I?

No need to answer.

Forget I asked.

You did it with good intention.

I know you were trying to protect Miss Han.

Forget it.

No need to comfort me.

Have you looked at her work in detail?

Her painting really inspired me.

It has a sort of therapeutic energy.

Perhaps this

is what she desires deep down.

It's true. Recently,

she's been quite moody.

Give her some space.

Things will get better.

Meng, if Mingming

has done anything wrong,

just complain about it to me.

Don't keep it inside.

It's not about him.

It's probably more of my own problem.

I just need some adjusting.

Meng, you and Mingming

grew up together.

Us too.

He's always had a soft spot for you.

It's because he cares too much

that he got angry with those reporters.

I know.

I've created a lot of trouble for him.

No, he...

He doesn't hold that against you.

You just need

to show a little appreciation, is all.

Meng.

Can I ask you something?

Go ahead.

Do you know that Mingming has always liked you?

What do you mean by "always"?

Did you really think

his confession back then

was a joke?

You're right.

Mingming hasn't changed at all over the years.

You were abroad for a long time.

And he's continued to wait for you.

No matter how many advances were made to him,

he remained resolute.

At first,

I even made fun of him for his naivety.

But then,

I started to admire him.

In this era, temptations are everywhere.

There are so many possibilities.
It's easy for people to change.

But he didn't.

Meng, after more than a decade,

his feelings for you still haven't changed.

Mingming, why are you here?

The guys are doing a farewell party tonight

before you go abroad, right?

I came to pick you up.

Let's go.

Your riding skill got worse.

That's because you got heavier.

Don't be rude.

Meng.

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

Well...

I like you.

Did you hear me?

I know.

I like you too.

I'm not talking about that kind of like.

You're still a kid.

What do you know about "like"?

Stop treating me like a kid,

like I don't know anything.

You can't simply say you like someone.

When you're older

and meet a girl you really like,

you can tell her then.

I like whoever I like.

I won't change.

I won't change!

Hey, Senior.

Ning Meng, are you at home?

Yes.

I'm about to reach your place.

Could you come down?

I have something to ask you.

What is it?

I'll talk to you in person.

Okay.

Senior.

What is so urgent?

Why don't we take a walk?

We'll talk as we walk.

Okay.

Ning Meng.

One time, on my birthday,

you gave me a CD.

Do you remember it?

Why did you suddenly bring that up?

I guess you never listened to it.

I did actually.

That year, before the year-end exams,

I listened to it many times.

But I was used to storing songs on CDs

in my iPod.

So I only opened it one time.

But a few days ago,

I found the CD again.

I saw a note

in the case.

Thankfully,

You Qi told me that day at the dinner.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have known.

That You Qi has always been such a busybody.

Senior, just pretend like you never saw it.

It's all in the past.

Is it really all in the past?

Do you still have the same feelings

from back then?

Do you remember that day?

Yes.

You said I was a kid

and didn't know anything.

After so many years,

did you really not change at all?
