[Master Of My Own]

[Episode 23]

I'm afraid you'll have to find a new investor.

Ning Meng,

I'm giving you two options here.

First, do as I say

and give me 10% stakes.

I'll give you

a high commission fee.

Second,

I won't invest in this project anymore.

Since it doesn't bring me

any losses anyway.

I understand.

For everyone's convenience,

I'll pick the second option.

I think we've made

the most appropriate choice.

If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave.

Goodbye.

He was obviously trying

to bribe me.

So what did you say?

I rejected his offer.

Worst comes to worst, I'll find a new LP.

This kind of thing is pretty normal.

For you to experience it,

means you're a great investor.

Senior, how would you choose

if you were me?

Mr. Zhou asked for 10%.

It's not worth it since it's not that much money.

Does it mean it's worth it if it's a lot?

That's not what I mean.

What matters isn't the amount.

I can't cross

this bottom line.

I support that you stick to your bottom line.

It's just changing an LP.

It's not a big problem

for you, Ms. Ning.

That's right.

It's better

than going against my principle
and losing the initiative.

Then you have nothing to worry about.

Let's go out and relax tonight.

Where are we going?

There's a great stand-up comedy tonight.

You like making jokes, right?

We can learn from it.

Okay.

I may not look smart.

But I attended the university too.

But the ratio of men to women at our university

is about seven to one.

That means

if a man wants to get a girlfriend,

it's as difficult

as The Calabash Brothers saving the grandpa.
(* A Chinese animation TV series)

Then all the guys

would do their best to confess their feelings.

Also, there are some guys who would shout
from downstairs,

but they'd be too scared to go alone.

They'd bring along their friends

with some bringing party poppers.

So when you looked from a distance,

you thought they were going to a fight.

Then those guys would think

they were romantic.

But

the girls were actually more romantic.

Also, there were some even stranger ones

who

would sing downstairs of the girl's dorm.

I think confessing your feelings

through singing isn't a bad idea.

But don't you think it was a bold move

to sing "Ugly Person" to confess their feelings?

My friend,

are you rushing to confess your feelings?

I wish you the best of luck.

Isn't that Mr. Lu?

Sir, don't look at him.

I'm the main attraction here, okay?

I think so.

Aren't you going to say hi to him?

It's okay. He had already left.

There were also those
who sent text messages to girls,

right?

But he wasn't alone when he did it.

He was pushing his friends

around him to help him send

the text messages.

He thought the messages weren't enough.

So he went to the plaza

to get those elderly
to help him send the messages.

Was he

the one you mentioned

who made you feel puzzled?

Yes.

But

it doesn't matter who it is anymore.

Since...

Okay.

I understand.

I trust you.

Let's go.

[LP Business Cards]

You haven't chosen your LP yet?

Mr. Liu is pretty suitable.

He's a big player in the internet industry,

loaded and generous.

He's a great LP.

I agree.

But for a big shot like Mr. Liu,

it may be too insignificant

for him to invest in Lehui.

Only you could think this thoroughly.

Stop thinking about it already.

Eat something.

Thanks.

[Mr. Liang (Rongxin Capital) New Condominium]

[Tang Zhengwang]

It's been a while.

You're truly impressive.

I didn't expect

Mr. Lu's secretary,

Ning Meng,

to be a manager now.

You're becoming more competent

and more beautiful now.

I don't deserve such compliments.

Lehui's project

sounds good to me.

Since we're friends,

I'll just be frank with you then.

Sure.

How do I make profits

from investing in this project?

First of all,

I can introduce

projects relating to hotels and condominiums.

I can let you be

their customized furniture supplier.

I'll let you make a profit in your business.

I'll have to know

what kind of hotel

and condominium projects they are.

The project investor, Mr. Liang,

is someone I used to work with

on Mobi's project.

He mainly focuses his investments

in medium to high-end hotels
and serviced apartments

targeting the young people market.

I can send the details to you later.

Besides, I did mention you

to him before this.

He absolutely approves of Qilin's brand.

As long as you nod your head,
we can start discussing the details.

I can't say yes

to merely this one condition.

I haven't told you the second advantage.

Okay, I'm all ears.

After you helped Lehui Appliances

to set a foothold in the market,

Lehui will include Qilin's Home

in all of their marketing campaigns

for free.

Both brands join together

to promote each other.

In other words,

it'll also save Qilin's Home's advertising cost.

I get it now.

You're using

my advertising expenditures in a different way

to return Qilin's Home a favor.

And also achieved a value-added effect

because you've already made profits

from the hotels and condominiums' projects.

Marvelous.

So what do you think

about these types of affiliations?

I'm in.

That's great.

Mr. Tang.

Yes.

A toast to you with water instead of wine.

Let's take it

as a ceremony of working together.

Let's take a photo to commemorate it.

Okay.

Success!

Ms. Shi,

Tang Zhengwang will invest instead of Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Liang and Mr. Tang will invest

with a ratio of one-to-one

as LPs

to form a limited partnership

with Lehui,

which still accounts for 20% stakes.

Nothing will go wrong this time.

When I heard

there were some issues with Mr. Zhou,

I was worried.

But I gave it a thought.

Since I let you take charge

of this task,

I should trust you.

I didn't expect

you to solve it so quickly.

You even thought

of integrating the resources.

You're becoming more mature now.

I also admire

the fact you put the company's interests first

when Mr. Zhou tried to bribe you.

Ms. Shi, it's my job.

You've given me so many opportunities.

I'll never let you down.

[It's sunny and breezy. A pleasant meeting
with Ning Meng talking about ideas.]

[I'm delighted that the cooperation is finalized!
It's incredible!]

How long has Mr. Lu been like this?

More than an hour.

It felt like the time had stopped.

He lost weight.

He looks haggard too.

His face is wrinkled too.

His dark circles are getting worse too.

He's moving! Go in now.

Why are you looking at me this way?

I'm not a panda.

We're concerned about you,

so we especially came to see you.

Make sure nothing happens to you.

What could happen to me?

Mingming, stop trying to act tough

in front of us.

It hurts to be dumped, right?

Especially for someone like you

who had to suffer from losing her

because you were clueless.

Why did you tell her everything?

Don't blame him.

We had promised not to keep

any secrets between us.

Right?

Are you here to comfort him

or to show how happy we are?

Mingming, let's go and have fun.

You haven't been

to the RV park I've developed.

That's right.

No, thank you.

Why not? It's fun.

Not interested.

What do you want to do, then?

We'll hang out with you.

I only want to focus on my work and make money.

Focus on work, huh?

There's something you need to know too.

A company has been purchasing

your father's company, Qinhe's stock

in the secondary market.

I also heard

the relationship
between your father and Lu Guoyu

is getting more hostile.

What is that old man up to?

Mr. Lu, you have a meeting

with Ms. Shi in the afternoon.

I'll be right over.

You're still going to Eaglestone Capital?

What else can I do?

I can't stop working

because of this matter, right?

See you.

Ya, can you give me a bottle of Yakult?

I'm too lazy to buy one.

Here you go.

Did you hear?

There's a company

that keeps buying Qinhe's shares lately.

What is it called again?

Shuangxun?

Yes, Shuangxun Group.

Do you know who's the chairman of Qinhe?

Lu Tianxing.

He's Mr. Lu's father.

Really?

I've never heard Mr. Lu talk about it before.

Ning Meng,

you're closed to Mr. Lu.

Do you have any inside information?

No idea.

Speaking of the devil.

Isn't that Mr. Lu?

Mr. Lu,

you're already here?

Ning Meng,

help me attend to Mr. Lu.

I'll go and get changed.

Ms. Shi, I just remembered

I had an appointment with Ms. Liu of Lehui.

I have to go now.

Ya,

please attend to Mr. Lu.

Okay.

Mr. Lu, this way, please.

What do you want to drink?

I'll prepare it for you.

Coffee?

Anything's fine.

Okay.

I wouldn't be able to sign this contract

if it weren't for you.

I should be treating you to a meal.

But you paid for it.

It's all right. You're too generous.

I'm sorry

to have kept you waiting today.

No, I came early.

Besides, we're talking about business.

I can apply for reimbursement.

When we meet up in private next time,

you'll be treating me then.

That's a deal, okay?

You better don't get the check next time.

Okay.

I won't be seeing you off then.

I'll have to wait for the receipt.

Okay, thank you very much.

You're welcome.

I'll see you next time.

-Bye-bye.
-Bye.

Hello, is my receipt ready?

Please wait for a moment.

Not bad, right?

Perfect.

Not bad, right?

Quite decent.

Where are we going next?

Let's play cards while getting sober.

What do you think?

Mr. Qiu,

I'll make the arrangement.

It's arranged.

It's all arranged.

Miss, your receipt.

Thank you.

Please come again.

What's wrong? What's with the sigh?

I'm just a little panicky.

Do you think I should tell You Qi

about He?

What can you tell her

without any evidence?

I'm scared He is cheating behind You Qi's back.

Perhaps you've misunderstood the situation.

Didn't you say

it wasn't just the two of them?

There were others there.

Are you free this weekend?

I want to ask them out for a meal?

You can help me observe He

at the same time.

I can't make it

this weekend.

I have an appointment with my client.

I'll pick you up after it's over.

Okay.

But I suggest

that you handle this matter carefully.

One mistake,

it'll affect your friendship with You Qi.

Hello, here's your stir-fried shredded beef.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Mengmeng, why are you suddenly

buying us a meal?

Isn't it normal that I treat you to a meal?

Fortunately, He is free too.

I didn't expect I would be so lucky

to join you.

Of course.

Mengmeng said to ask you along.

Really?

With his current status and position,

if I want to see him,

I have to go

through the receptionist

and the assistant manager to see him.

Ning Meng, you're not a stranger.

You're Qiqi's best friend.

With our relationship,

I'll always have time for you

as long as you come and see me.

Great.

He.

Let's eat.

I ordered

all your favorite dishes today.

I'll peel them for you.

You did a manicure, right?

You'll just eat.

Okay.

That's great.

Eat something else first.

He,

do you know Qiu Junlin?

Who?

It's nothing. He was my co-worker.

I saw you together

when I had lunch the other day.

I wanted to tell you

to watch out for him

if you know him.

Qiu Junlin?

Mengmeng, is he the one

who set you up

and made you quit?

He's a bad person.

He, don't be friends with him.

I remember now.

If you didn't mention that he

was your co-worker,

I'd have thought

he was the driver.

This is so spicy.

Drink some water.

But it's tasty.

It's probably too hot.

It's too spicy.

Drink it later. It's still hot.

He is still so thoughtful.

It's great.

It's my duty.

Hello, your spicy crayfish is here.

Excuse me.

Please wait for a moment.

I'm so sorry.

Careful. It's hot.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

Are you all right?

I'll get some ointment for you.

It's okay.

I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Wipe it quickly.

That was close.

Let me see.

I'm glad you're okay.

Look how red your hand is.

I'm fine.

I'll blow it for you.

It's okay. He'll send the ointment later.

Does it hurt?

I'm fine.

How did it go? Are you relieved now?

Their relationship is still the same.

Maybe I overthought.

I was a little envious

seeing how anxious you were just now.

I wonder if you'll care

about me this much.

Would you do anything

that makes me feel insecure?

I guarantee that I won't.

Did I spoil the mood?

No.

Let's try it again.

I promise on Oriental Pearl Tower

that I'll stop hiding.

Why do you sound like

you're dying a martyr?

But it's adorable.

It's okay. I'll wait.

I'll wait

until you want to accept me.

Morning.

Morning, Ning Meng.

Morning.

They're the ones with the problems.

Even if that's the case,

you can't talk to them

with such an attitude.

Why should I keep quiet and endure it?

They're the ones who are uncivilized.

Enough.

Go and calm yourself down.

What's going on?

A new employee. Young and vigorous.

He thinks he's a professional,

so he argued

with the LP until they were upset.

So they complained to Ms. Shi.

Is Ms. Shi okay?

How could she be okay?

It wasn't easy

to accumulate these network resources.

Ms. Shi will have to apologize
to them one by one

to restore the relationship.

It'll take a lot of effort.

Ning Meng.

Ms. Shi.

Ning Meng, sit.

Young people nowadays

are so self-centered.

Their working ability can't be questioned at all.

I remember when you just joined us,

you did a public placement.

You did very well at the time.

I made several mistakes

when I first did it.

But you gave me a chance to make up for it.

Compared to this guy,

your mistakes were nothing.

Ning Meng,

this project is progressing

pretty well now.

If there's a need to follow up with this project,

can you help out?

After all, you are good
at maintaining relationships

with clients.

Is this the project

that we collaborate with Joint Capital?

Yes.

Ning Meng,

are you dating

Su Weiran?

As someone who has some experience,

I'll share something with you.

Sometimes,

hiding is useless

if you don't want to have anything to do with him.

It's better to get along naturally

while letting nature take its course.

Anything that shouldn't happen

is bound to end anyway.

If it's not meant to end,

it's useless no matter

where you hide.

This is the fate of people.

The truth is,

I can assign this task to someone else.

But we have a strategic collaboration

with Mr. Lu.

Are you planning to hide from him forever?

I think

it's better

to let everything flow naturally.

Yes, Ms. Liu.

What?

Ms. Liu.

Ning Meng, you're here.

Have a seat.

What happened?

Something came up on my ex-husband's side.

He wouldn't be able

to transfer the money he promised me on time.

Why?

His OEM factory used unapproved parts

to reduce the cost of production.

The brand demanded a huge refund

and compensation too.

He has to use all of the funds

to reproduce a new batch.

As for me,

he won't be able to pay me now.

I've consulted a lawyer.

Even if we follow the legal procedures,

we won't be able to get

the funds for a while.

Then...

Ning Meng, it's my fault.

I breached our agreement.

I won't be able to honor our agreement.

I'll pay the penalty and compensate all of you

even if I have to sell everything I own.

Ms. Liu, let's not talk
about terminating the agreement yet.

Let's solve the problem at hand.

I'll think of something about the money.

[Eaglestone Capital]

Ning Meng, be honest with me.

Is Ms. Liu pessimistic

about this project?

Is she planning not to fund it?

Mr. Tang, you've misunderstood.

Why would Ms. Liu be pessimistic

about this project?

The project has no problem.

Ms. Liu didn't expect

that this would happen.

She's also anxious about it now.

I have no other meaning.

I'm just worried

that our investment

will go down the drain.

Don't worry.

I'm taking care of this problem.

Please believe in Eaglestone Capital.

You have my utmost trust.

But I have no confidence

in Ms. Liu now.

Mr. Tang,

I promised that I wouldn't let you down.

Please give me some time.

I'll find a way

to help Ms. Liu to cover the capital gap.

But you have to be quick about it.

The sooner, the better.

Thank you for being understanding.

Mr. Liang.

Ms. Ning,

can you tell me

if Lehui

is in some kind of trouble?

It's only a matter of closing the capital gap.

The products have no issues at all.

If there are no issues with the products,

why is there such

a big capital problem?

That's so unconvincing.

It's actually a mistake from Ms. Liu's ex-husband.

It's her ex-husband's fault.

But we, as LPs are paying

the price.

How can I not

be worried about this?

Ms. Ning, I'm under a lot of pressure too.

My... My shareholders are advising me

to pull out of this project.

I can understand you're in a difficult position.

How about this, Mr. Liang?

Give me three days.

Just three days. I'll definitely find a way

to cover this capital gap.

Ms. Shi.

Ning Meng,

it's bound to affect the subsequent production

with such a huge capital gap, right?

It'll indeed be very difficult

if there are not enough funds.

But I'll think of something.

It's your project, so do all that you can.

But I have to tell you this in advance.

Our company is a little short

of funds now.

If you want to cover the gap,

you may have to find another investor.

If I'm not mistaken,

there's still a sum of funds in the company.

I already have plans

for that funds.

I understand.

I'll find ways

to contact other LPs

so they can invest more

in this project.

I may support you

in making another effort.

But don't forget about the sunk cost.

It doesn't matter if you make it or not.

You must be firm and efficient in solving

this issue quickly.

I understand.

I ordered your favorite food.

I know you've been tired
for the past two days.

Here. You'll only have the energy
to work after you eat.

Senior, I'll be busy these few days.

I may not have the time to see you.

I'm happy

that you're telling me this.

Eat up.

Any progress with your project?

The LPs are very firm

in their positions.

It'll be difficult

to ask them to invest more.

I understand.

It's good enough that they're not

holding you accountable
when you're facing this problem.

LPs invest in businesses

to make profits.

They're not obligated to help.

Stopping loss on time is something

an investor must learn.

Don't tell me you still want to help Liu Huimin.

You can't be soft-hearted at this time.

This project is not worth investing in anymore.

I do think

Lehui's project is good.

Ms. Liu is also a good person.

I don't want to give up

because of this matter.

But it's not a small matter.

Is this her first time starting a business?

Why is there such a problem?

She and her husband started a company

from scratch.

Because of her husband's

pushy attitude,

she had no choice but to quit her post.

She has the capability.

The design concepts

of Lehui Appliances came

from Ms. Liu's experience

when she led a plain daily life.

I think it's really valuable.

She's already divorced,

why does she

still believe her ex-husband that much?

Don't you think she's too naive?

I think Ms. Liu and her ex-husband

can't be trusted.

Ms. Liu probably doesn't have this money at all

and she is colluding with her ex-husband

to trick the LPs into investing

without investing anything themselves.

I've seen

so many cases like this in the capital market.

Anything can happen

in the face of great interests.

I admit something like this exists.

But that depends on the person.

I trust Ms. Liu.

It wasn't easy for her.

She mortgaged her house

and her car.

She even borrowed money from her friends.

She completely threw

herself in

to do her best

to solve this problem

and save this project.

I know you want to be responsible for Liu Huimin.

But

you must be responsible for the other investors.

Things like these

will more or less affect
the investors in some ways.

What you need to do

is to minimize the losses.

Let's put these aside.

Eating is more important.

Thanks. I can do it myself.

I'll find a way.

[Lu XX: How are you doing?]

[To Lu Jiming. I'm okay, thanks.]

Hello, Mr. Tang.

I've received Qilin's Home's

latest financial statement.

Let's have a meal sometime

and discuss

what project we can work on next.

Okay, when you're free.

Oh, I heard there are some problems

with the household appliances company

you've invested in, right?

I'm afraid it'll affect the production

with such a huge capital gap.

Okay.

Let me know

if you have any updates.

After all, Ning Meng was my employee.

Okay.

Thank you, Tang.

Excuse me, where's Ms. Liu?

There's a problem at the factory.

They're withholding our stocks.

After Ms. Liu found out,

she rushed there with other co-workers.

You can't take them. You can't.

Let's go.

You can't take them.

Stop it.

Get out of the way.

Out of my way. Stop them.

What's going on here?

Listen.

These stocks belong to our company.

You have no right to take them away.

Ms. Liu, I heard

you have no funds coming in anymore.

I'll get the money.

I have already sold my house.

You will be paid

the agreed amount.

How can I believe you?

How about this?

Guys, move these away.

No, you can't!

Stop it!

Don't touch them.

You can't take my stocks.

Stop it!

Get out of my way.

Ms. Liu.

What are you doing?

Stop it!

Hey, stop it!

Don't take them away!

Put them down.

Where did this little lady come from?

Stop meddling in other people's business.

I thought

the first payment had been paid.

But you can't guarantee

that she'll pay for the next phase.

Is Lehui going bankrupt now?

That's right.

Lehui will definitely pay up

and not a single penny less.

But the payment period is clearly written

on the contract.

Aren't you taking advantage
of other people's misfortune?

Miss, you can't put it that way.

If you want us to believe you,

it's easy.

You have to show some sincerity.

You people aren't

the employees here at all, right?

Yes.

I want to see the owner of this factory.

I can understand how he feels.

Bring him here and I'll explain it to him.

What to do?

The boss isn't here.

Now, I have the say here.

Today, I'll give you

two choices.

First, pay now

and I'll let you go.

Second,

we'll sell these things.

Don't you need money?

When the time comes, I'll spare you some change.

Am I right?

-That's right.
-Yes.

You're being unreasonable.

If you continue harassing us
and making unreasonable demands,

we'll take legal action.

You sure talk big for your age.

You can try if you don't believe me.

Instead of you extorting any money,

I'm going to make you compensate
with everything you have.

Who do you think you are?

Move them!

You can't take them!

Get lost!

Don't let them take it!

Stop it!

You can't do this.

Stop it now!

Stop it!

You can't take it!

Stop it!

You...

Get lost!

Get out of my way!

Ning Meng, are you okay?

Boss, the police are coming.

Over here!

Let's go.

Let's go to the hospital.

The cut isn't deep.

You're pretty lucky.

If the cut is any deeper and injured the aorta,

your life would be in danger.

Thank you.

You look like

you just had a fight.

Lad, don't be impulsive.

Doctor, I was helping others in trouble.

Did the police catch those hooligans?

Ms. Liu just called me.

She said they were arrested
by the Public Security Bureau for questioning.

So it's true
that you were helping out beating the bad guys.

Lad, not bad.

Why did you

suddenly appear there?

I heard you guys were in trouble.

Who told you?

Tang Zhengwang told me

when we were discussing some matters.

Thank you for your help today.

It's not a big deal.

You have

to eat plain food for several days.

Or else, it'll leave a scar.

Okay.

Thanks.

We can at least still be friends, right?

Just be friends. Is that okay?

Okay.

Friends.

Just like how you treat Zeng Yuhang

and Xu Sitian.

Just be simple

and don't say anything weird

or do anything that crosses the line

as friends.

Sure, no problem.

Thank you for helping me out today, my friend.

Piece of cake, my friend.

Ning Meng.
