Thank you for your blessings, Buddha

so my grandson is safe and sound.

Please have mercy, Buddha.

Bless him so that he is safe and
sound all his life.

Let no evil befall him.

Mother, be careful.

Sammie, take the baby over for
Yiu-cho to see him.

Let's go see father.

(R.I.P. Ma Yiu-cho)

Joe, look, this is our son.

I'll bring him up well, to be a successor
of the Ma family.

Those that must go, we can't hold on to.

Live in the moment.

Sammie, what's most important now

is for you to bring up our grandson, OK?

Yes, Mother.

Be sweet.

So cute.

Honey...

Honey, look...

The baby is so plump. So cute!

Yes!

Let me hold him.

No.

You're so careless. What if you hurt him?

How would I?

No...

It's best for the baby to be home.

So many people dote on him.

He's our only grandson in the family.

Of course we dote on him.

Think I don't know how?

When Chiu-dai and Loi-dai were small,

Bro Yiu-chung would let me hold them.

What a pity bro is in Singapore.
He can't see the baby.

Master, Madam, the two caretakers are here.

You're here?

Sammie...

I specially hired Wah and Mui as caretakers

They are very experienced.

They can look after the baby day and night.

Then you can work and rest at ease.

No need for worries.

Thank you, Mother.

Thanks for your help.

Mother, it's time to feed him.

Let me take him upstairs.

OK. You look after the baby.

What is it?

Sammie, wait.

I want to take a nice picture of the baby.

Sure.

Chiu-dai, Loi-dai, come take a picture
with the baby.

Then we'll send it to Daddy.

Yes, why don't we take a picture
with the big sisters?

Let's take a picture with the sisters...

Come on, let's look in front. Come on...

OK. Ready... 1, 2, 3...

Auntie Chloe.

Look at this picture...

See any problems with it?

No. It's OK.

Not right. Look carefully.

Even the baby is smiling so happily

but you're forcing this smile.

If the baby sees this picture when
he grows up,

sure he'll think these two big sisters
don't like him.

No! Baby is very cute. He's adorable!

That I know.

But you two are still forcing that smile.

Is it because of your mom?

Sorry, Auntie Chloe.

But Mom did that to you and I feel so bad!

Unhappy things... I've forgotten them all!

You... sure you don't hate me and my sister?

Look, the sun is about to set.

When the sun rises tomorrow,

it's another day.

We shouldn't take unhappy things to heart.

We should strive for the future.

You two and the baby

are the future of the Ma family.

I've made a promise to guard the family.

So I will take good care of you three.

Thank you, Auntie Chloe.

But I don't know if Auntie Sammie
thinks the same way.

Rest assured. Auntie Sammie knows
better than I do

how we must seize the day and cherish
those by our side.

She is so nice.

She wants everyone happy by her side.

She is busy with the baby

and with the company.

How would she have time to be mad at you?

You're saying that and I'm relieved.

I can't do it. I need a rest.

It used to be so easy to do this.

Now I move a little and I can't catch
my breath.

It's a big project having a baby.

It's straining for the body.

Just practise later.

But you have to work and look after
the baby.

Don't hurt your health.

OK.

But since I had the baby,

I really want to be with him every day
holding him.

I look at him and I feel so sweet.

Though I can feed him a few times,

I think I have done too little.

I want to do so many things for him.

What about this?

Put down work a couple of months.

Focus on the baby first.

No. I can't put down work.

I want to help fulfil Joe's wish as soon
as possible.

I know you've had financing problems
with the new railway terminus project.

What about I'll move half of the

Foundation's money allocated for
the pier-top project over?

It's too late.

Did something happen?

I've solved the problem with the
$3 billion for phase one.

Really?

Yes!

As for the $14 billion for phase two,

Marco called today.

He said he is talking to an international
investment fund in Singapore.

Just a tiny bit of details to clear.

We should be OK.

That's great!

Thank you for your kind thoughts.

But why did you suddenly think about
moving funds from the Foundation?

Aren't you worried Thomas might be upset?

I know your project was Joe's wish.

I thought I'd do as much as I could.

Thank you. You are so nice to me.

Right, Mui said the baby needs to
get a birth certificate.

Has he got a name yet?

Not yet. I've been so busy.

I've had no time to think about it.

Right... Have you thought about the
name for your baby if he's born?

At first Thomas and I wanted to call
the baby Francis.

As for the Chinese name,
we asked Father.

Father said we need not follow the
Ma's tradition to pick it.

So we decided to call the baby Kin-long.

We hoped the baby would be "Kin",
that's "healthy",

and "Long" for "lively and cheerful".

Father, Mother...

Auntie Sammie, Auntie Chloe,
good you're here.

We're thinking about the baby's name...

Yes? Any good ideas?

He can be called "Yat-yat" (One-one)

It's easy to write.

Yat-yat? It will be too easy if he had
to copy it.

That's right.

Want to be called "Yat-yat"?

Yat-yat, right?

Father, Mother...

I have an idea actually.

I want to name the baby "Tin-long"

Ma Tin-long.

Tin-long?

Implying he has "great aspirations"
He is "lively and cheerful".

That's meaningful.

Boys should have great aspirations.

There's actually another reason.

I know that Chloe wanted to name
her baby Kin-long.

So I hope my baby can have the
character "Long" in his name.

When you have a baby later on, Chloe

will you name him Kin-long then?

If that's the case, the two brothers

can be of one mind and share everything.

That's meaningful. Sammie's suggestion
is good.

Let's name the baby Tin-long then.

Great if you like it, Father.

Do you like it, Tin-long?

Tin-long...

I've read this letter of intent a few times.

It's fine with me.

If it's OK with you,

you can sign it right away.

Marco, you're awesome!

You managed to secure the $14 billion
financing so quickly!

I was just lucky.

I find Mr De Rossi quite trustworthy.

I think The Masons can work with him
in the long run.

So? The baby's home and you've been
much busier?

No. Though we've hired two caretakers

There are lots of things I have to
do myself.

Don't worry. I'm OK. The busier the better.

Just say it if you need any help.

The letter of intent is basically fine.

Marco, while you were away

did you hear about Bro Yiu-chung
and Sis Choi-mei?

Yes, Chelsea told me.

That's why if someone does something bad,

he can't cover it up forever.

Let's hope from now on,

things like the family harming each
other won't happen again.

Marco, are you alright?

I'm fine.

In the coming meeting, I'll present plans
about personnel change.

I'd like to talk about that.

Honey, why is it I'm wanted for this
executive meeting?

I was just informed too.

Who knows what tricks your good
sister has this time?

Thomas, Chloe.

Hi.

Here they are.

OK. Everyone's here?

Before we start the meeting today

I'd like to announce some plans for
personnel change.

As I have to discharge my duties as CEO

follow the project of the new
railway terminus

and manage work at General Admin.

I'm worried I can't manage it all.

So upon careful consideration

I've decided to transfer Chloe at
Public Relations over to General Admin

as Acting General Manager

taking over the original duties of
Bro Yiu-chung.

I'll be most ready to contribute to
The Masons.

But Admin and PR are two very
different departments.

I'm worried I might not be able to manage.

You've forgotten you are chair of the
Ma's Charity Foundation?

You can handle the Foundation so well.
How could that be a problem?

If you really find anything unfamiliar

I myself and all of us seated here
will help.

That's right, Chloe. You are smart
and capable.

Ways of work at Admin are all set.

It's easy to follow.

Or... I can be transferred over to help.

Not a problem.

That's a good idea.

Uncle Lai knows every department well.

Sure he can help Chloe.

Thomas, what do you think?

My pier-top project is up and running.

Uncle Kai-lai's transfer shouldn't
affect much.

If he's in General Admin, he can help Chloe.

I agree.

Uncle Kai-lai, you'll move over then.

Chloe, now you can feel at ease?

Chloe, don't worry. I have confidence
in you.

We'll fight shoulder to shoulder
and manage the company well.

Who's going to follow the job I'm on at PR?

Don't worry. I have my arrangements.

OK. Let's start.

Auntie Sammie, you mean it?

You want me to work in PR?

You know me. I can't sit still.

I have no experience in office work.

I'm worried I might give everyone trouble.

Sit down.

I am not asking you to play Head of PR.

While the new chief is in place,
I want you as trainee, to learn from him.

Right, Chiu-dai. You are a grown woman.

What you're doing can't make up a career.

As a member of the Ma's next generation,

you should start to learn about the
company's operations.

Just give it a try.

If you're really interested, take some
related courses.

If you do find it not suitable for you,

I guess your Auntie won't force you to stay.

PR work is not dull like pure office work.

It takes a lot of ideas. You'll have
to organize many activities

and communicate well with others.

I find you very suitable.

Grandpa and Auntie Sammie, you're right.

So many things have happened
to the family.

I shouldn't sit and watch you all working
so hard.

It's time for me to do something for
the Ma family.

OK. I'll strive hard for it.

I won't let you down.

Your Mom and Daddy should be so surprised
that you'd be so sweet to help.

Grandpa, is that a compliment or
you're teasing me?

Honey, take a look...

Which is more beautiful?

I'm going to wearing it tomorrow.

You're most beautiful.

I'm serious. Which set?

What you usually wear is much sharper
and presentable.

Why pick dark suits like these?

With PR, I can wear sharp colours.

But now I'm Acting General Manager

I should look more serious.

Which one?

This one on the right.

This one? OK.

Honey, do be careful tomorrow.

Sammie suddenly promoted you.
I find it a bit fishy.

Honey, don't get so suspicious.

Between people, it's like mirrors.

If you see others with scheming eyes

others will see you with scheming eyes too.

Honey, I think you have changed.

You used to tell me Yan Sum was not simple

and I had to beware.

Yet now you're speaking for her?

So many things happened lately
and I've thought it through.

Look at it simply... Joe is not around now

What Sammie is doing is just to help
The Masons.

What if she wants to compete with me?

You're the only son in the family holding
things up.

How could anyone replace you?

Why bother to be suspicious of others?

Just put in your effort, handle the
pier-top project well.

Do more for yourself and for The Masons.

My wife is always right.

You are in charge of General Admin

with me backing you up.

Even Chiu-dai is helping out in the
office too.

The whole family working as one
for the growth of The Masons.

Everyone's happy. Good.

Chloe, good morning.

Good morning, Uncle Kai-lai.

You're early. Come here.

What is it?

Like it?

Congratulations to...

(Congratulation to Chloe Ma)

Specially prepared for you.

The food and drinks, all meticulously
picked and ordered.

And that chair of yours,

I've tried it. I got you the most
comfortable one.

Thank you, Uncle Kai-lai.

We are family. I should.

It's time. Let's get Thomas,
and Sammie here.

And Marco and Chiu-dai too.

You're kidding! We'll get them too?

We should. We'll celebrate your
promotion as General Manager.

I'm just Acting General Manager.

It's just an internal transfer.

Uncle Kai-lai, there's no need for all that.

And besides, Thomas and Sammie
are busy with meetings.

Alright, everyone. Let's go back to
your own work.

Yes...

Thomas is so happy.

So you're strategy of pacification
seems working.

Wrong. I promoted Chloe not
to pacify Thomas.

The Masons is family business.

We need manpower right now.

Chloe is competent.

It's better to get her help than to
do everything myself.

That's true.

Very tired?

Yes. It's actually so taxing to look
after a baby.

I wanted to do some yoga with Chloe

But that's even worse.

You haven't worked out for so long.
You need to train more for fitness first.

Any suggestions, Coach Ma?

You're calling me coach

I should do my job.

Good morning. Are you ready?

OK. I'll set out now. Bye.

You're OK. You are a runner.

Didn't I tell you? At university,

I was champion for the 3,000m race.

So you came first at your studies,

in running and in the beauty pageant.

Now you're No.1 making money for
the company too.

What can set you back at all?

I am a perfectionist.

You can say I am keen to excel.

But anyway, unless I get 100 marks
I don't feel comfortable.

That's tiring for you.

It is tiring.

So many things happened with the
family earlier.

The company was facing
all those difficulties.

Sometimes it's really tough.

Anyway, just remember, no matter how
strained you are

there's always someone by your side

Hong Kong has great sceneries indeed.

Why don't we come for a run every Sunday?

Then you can see more of the
beautiful scenery.

A run every Sunday?

Don't tell me it's too hard for you.

If I get trained up again,
you can't catch up.

Your shoelace went loose and you didn't
even know. You could get tripped!

Do be careful.

Thank you. Let's go.

Mom, I'm back.

You haven't be out jogging so early
for a while.

Yes. I need to get rid of some fat in the
belly, so I'm running to keep fit.

Is it just to keep fit?

Who's running with you?

You've met a new girlfriend?

When are you bringing her home?

Mom, you're thinking too much.

You know, when you exercise,

your brain releases endorphin that
makes you happy.

I'll take you along next time.

Who's running with you?

You've met a new girlfriend?

When are you bringing her home?

Just go step by step according to plans.

Very soon, Ma Sai-wang will have to
tell the world

how he got you killed.

What is this, Uncle Kai-lai?

Air-purifier. Latest model from Germany.

It can remove 99% of allergens
and formaldehyde too.

Your office was just renovated.

There's a lot of formaldehyde.
It's bad for health.

Thank you.

We're family. Don't mention it.

It's most effective next by your seat.

Oh. Seems a bit too far.

Don't worry, I'm prepared.

Plug in and that's it.

What is it?

The fuse jumped?

Oh no, I haven't saved my report!

Me neither! I haven't saved my Excel file.

Mrs Ma...

This extension cord in your office is
not up to standard.

Once connected, it blew the fuse.

Better not use it.

If you need an extension cord,

I'll get you one from Maintenance.

OK. Thanks.

You're welcome.

The Maintenance colleague has fixed
the electricity.

Go tell the colleagues...

if they have been affected,

with things not urgent, they can take
their time to redo them.

But with urgent matters

I'll have to trouble them to try their
best to rush.

OK?

OK.

As encouragement, for afternoon tea
and night snack for OT today, my treat.

Go ask them what they'd like.

Thank you, Mrs Ma.

I'll excuse myself.

Go ahead.

Chloe, actually I...

I don't know why you care so much
about me, Uncle Kai-lai.

Whether you want a loan or you
really mean to help

I thank you for your kindness.

I hope you will stay out of my case.

That should be better for us.

And, take that machine with you
on your way out.

Sit down first.

I really can't stand your uncle.

OK...

He's following me everywhere.

That's right.

But don't be upset. A kiss for you.

Uncle Kai-lai works under you.

It's normal that he's following you.

But he messes things up every time.

He's giving me all this trouble.

It gives me a headache thinking of him.

OK. OK...

Uncle Kai-lai wasn't that bad when
he's under me.

I just don't want to see him again.

Honey.

Yes?

Since you work so well with him,
just reclaim him.

Oh, then you reclaim me first.

You're smiling finally.

I just mean to help Chloe.

Why does she hate me so much?

And she wants me returned?

It's about affinity, Uncle.

Could it be our Eight Characters
don't match?

That's why...

Uncle, I know you do want to help Chloe.

But she's new to the position

If you keep following her, it's like
serving a queen.

She'd feel uneasy.

What should I do to make her accept me?

Don't worry. She's OK with you.

She just doesn't want you to offer
service so openly.

If you do mean to help her,
do it from behind.

Don't even tell her you've helped.

I see.

Don't say I told you that.

Friends of the media, welcome to this
media conference

by The Masons and Kam Lung on joint
develop ment of the site

by the new railway terminus.

First, may we invite the CEO of
The Masons, Mrs Ma Yan Sum

and Chairman of the Kam Lung Group

Mr Lung Man-biu to say a few words.

Please.

This is a groundbreaking joint-venture
between The Masons and Kam Lung Group.

Ever since the start of the project

both parties together have invested

over $10 billion into the project.

This project came into being all because
of my late husband, Mr Ma Yiu-cho.

We at The Masons will carry on his
unfinished work

and put in every effort to this project

and create a most striking new
landmark of Hong Kong.

We at Kam Lung and The Masons are
major leaders in the industry.

Many people imagine that fellow
players should compete like big enemies

but in fact it's "like knows like".

We hope that our collaboration will not
only become the city's centre of attention

but also set a great example for win-win
partnership in business.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mrs Ma. Thank you, Mr Lung.

Next will be the official signing ceremony.

Happy collaboration!

Happy collaboration!

Chiu-dai, you did a very good job today!

Very presentable. Well-done!

Really? But I was so nervous!

But with this experience,

I will do better next time.

It's your first time playing host,
and you're good.

Cheers!

Cheers!

Excuse me.

I told you that you could manage.
Have confidence in yourself.

Mrs Ma, come take a picture, please...

Let's go take pictures.

Thank you.

I hope after this project, we can have
more successful partnerships to come.

Sure.

Cheers...

Chelsea.

Mr Lung.

I noticed that you're really glowing today.

I believe it's not just because of this
signing today.

There must be something nice coming to you.

You can tell fortune too?

Right, I heard you were once an intern
for Master Hung?

Yes.

Master Hung is now legal consultant for
Kam Lung Group.

It's his 60th birthday today.

He's holding a birthday party at home.

You're aware of that, Chelsea?

He did inform me.

I wonder if I can have the honour of
inviting you to be my partner, Chelsea?

Chelsea...

Mr Lung is so sincere.

Chelsea, why this hesitation?

Master Hung is your mentor.

He helped a lot with Joe's case.

It's only reasonable to say
"Happy Birthday" to him.

Remember to send my regards, OK?

I'll pick you up tonight?

OK. Thank you.

Have a good time.

Yeah.

The media conference is done.

Phase one's completed.

I can have a good sleep tonight.

What is it? You don't seem relaxed.

It's not that.

But I think we should always be
prepared for danger.

Sometimes while things may seem smooth,
you might end up with unexpected turns.

You are not positive about this project?

Not that, of course.

I just think we should be prepared always.

You make it sound like something's
going to happen.

But don't worry. Even from the first day,

I've handled it as a battle we'd lose.

Really?

But you always seem so confident.

This project is not easy on its own.

When no one's positive about it

all the more I must show confidence.

Or who's going to fight along with me?

That's why every leader has a trusted
follower by his side.

Even if he can't be of much help...

At least you can have someone to talk to
to relieve the pressure.

I have you by my side and I'm happy enough.

By the way, if I say I want someone
to help, what do you think?

Whom is that?

Nick.

My kid brother?

I have worked with him.

I find him trustworthy and with great drive.

I believe he can help me.

You seem to trust me more than I do.

Is he your trusted follower or mine?

Both of us are your trusted followers.

I was going to see you.

Used to the new environment?

No. I'm not used to working at such
a high level.

What are these?

You told me to study the tenancy process.

I printed these out.

Now I'm getting a transfer.

I'm going to shred these.

As you said, this is the senior level.

You must be more careful at work.

Marco and Chelsea are very competent.

You should learn from them. Got it?

No problem.

And, this development project is the
biggest of The Masons' in recent years.

Many people want to join this team.

It's a great opportunity for you.

Seize it well.

Whatever you pick up is yours.

I have my CEO sister to help me up

I shall exert myself to your service!

It's Marco who's giving you the opportunity.

He's so kind to you. Don't let him down.

Sis, Marco is a god to me.

He'd handle every little thing himself.

Even with taking back a shop, he'd handle
the emails himself. He's working so hard.

Taking back what shop?

Super Drivers Pub?

Tseung Dai-chi (Old Tseung).

Old Tseung's pub?

Why did Marco recover the shop?

Just a short while before Old Tseung
testified against Joe in court.

Such a coincidence?

I'm rather busy right now.

So make it short.

Mr De Rossi, we've taken the first step.

And the next, over to you.

Great!

Our side, everything is ready.

We can proceed anytime.

Once you cancel the financing

stock price of The Masons will dive.

Then we can take the third step.

I have already opened a number of shell
corporations for you in the Cayman Islands.

Then no one will know how many
shares of The Masons you've swept up.

If everything goes well

we can take our final step.

By then we can do whatever we want.

You're so mean!

No. They asked for it.

I like it.

OK. I long for the good news. Bye.

OK. Bye.

Chloe...

What?

There's something I need to tell you.

Let's talk on the way.

No, I am meeting someone.

Just say it here.

Cindy of Admin, I've watched her
for a while.

She's always on the phone.

You should have a word with her.

Uncle Kai-lai, are you here for work
or to eavesdrop?

That's not what I mean.

Enough.

I really have an appointment.

You just go back to work.

But it's true.

Auntie Fong, just a token.

After moving overseas, remember to
stay cheerful and healthy!

Why waste this money? So kind of you.

Don't say that!

I've booked a private kitchen for farewell
with you tonight.

By the way, your colleague was trying
to talk with you.

If you are busy, don't bother eating
with me.

No. He's just talking about petty things.

But I find him very familiar.

He's my husband's mom's cousin.

So many people look like him everywhere.

I remember...

What do you remember?

He's your mom's ex-boyfriend.

His name is Ho.

Before Kwai-lin became a pair with
Ma Sai-wang,

she's going out with him.

That's right. It's this man who
paid respects to your mom.

He was really keen. He asked me to check

the contact person for your mom's grave.

Lok-yee.

Chloe, what a coincidence!

I'm paying respects to my mom.

I'm visiting an old friend.

I heard you were living in an orphanage
as a child, right?

If I have really done something wrong

would you forgive me?

Ho Kai-lai...

He's really...

What happened? Why would Ho Kai-lai be...

He's my own father?

Mom, why didn't you tell me that?

If he really... is my own dad...

Why didn't Father and Mother show
no response at all?

Could it be even they didn't know
about you two?

Mom, why were you together?

Why did you break up? What happened?

You said Ho Kai-lai has been very
nice to you.

Maybe he knows you're his own daughter.

I really can't accept it.

Ever since I was a child, I've never had
a father.

I once imagined

maybe he's a gangster, he's in jail.

Or he's been killed by some enemy.

I never imagined he could actually
be right by my side

and he's so closely related to Ma Sai-wang.

My mom and Ho Kai-lai...

Why did Ho Kai-lai leave mom and me behind?

You have so many queries

why don't you go ask him directly?

Such a jerk who'd dump his wife
and daughter...

I have nothing to say to him.

Mom and I suffered all this pain.
Yet he never showed up.

To me, he died long ago.

I don't want anything to do with him.

But have you considered, he's your own
father after all?

There could be some
misunderstanding somewhere.

That can't be. He's been with the Ma's
for so long.

There's no way he didn't know
what had happened.

It's quite obvious he never care about us.

I don't understand why he would
suddenly want me the daughter back.

But I won't forgive him.

I won't recognise him either.

Mr Ho, that Miss Ka you wanted to find,

she came to me yesterday at the cemetery.

She showed me your picture too.

She asked if you had paid respects
to her mother.

I told her you were looking for her too.

Chloe, no need for guesses anymore.

It has been proved by DNA.
We are father and daughter.

Chloe, I am your own father.

Back then your mom and I...

Uncle Kai-lai, I don't understand what
you're saying.

My mother died when I was small.

I had no parents and I grew up in
an orphanage.

I've never met my father.

I don't want to see him either.

I am busy. Please excuse yourself.

I know you must be angry.

But back then your mom and I...

Mind your words.

I am not your daughter.

My mother never mentioned your name

or anything about you either.

I only know you're Thomas' mom's cousin.

You're Uncle-in-law to me.

I was in Macau yesterday.

The caretaker at the cemetery told
me you were

showing him my picture and asking about me.

My mom died so long ago.

Everything is in the past.

I don't want a jerk who'd dump his wife
and daughter to come tell me he's my dad.

Get out of my office now!

Get out!
