[Episode 17]

Here, Gu, have some water.

Qiang.

I think this matter

isn't entirely Gu's fault.

Supervisor Zhang is obviously shirking the responsibility,

right?

What happened that night?

After you left that night,

when we were done sorting out the waste,

Quan told us to go back to sleep,

and that he'd finish everything up.

But I didn't expect...

Is there a CCTV there?

Yes, just one CCTV.

But the angle was very tricky.

I could only see the car pressing on the rock,

and then the car fell backward.

Which car was it?

And who was the driver?

Zheng Yaojun. Mr. Zheng.

Are you here to visit him instead of Mr. Gu?

He's not awake yet.

Wait for me at the elevator.

Okay, Mr. Su.

Did you do this too?

In your eyes,

have I become such an unscrupulous person?

You can forgive Gu Yi,

but why can't you understand me?

Bit by bit,

they pushed me to this stage.

It's the Gu family that wronged my mother.

They are the sinners.

I know I don't have the right to persuade you to be magnanimous,

but I really can't understand you.

Mr. Zheng needs to be investigated too,

so we can't drive this car for now.

What are you doing?

What are you looking at?

Mr. Zheng.

When did you change your car tires?

Half a month ago.

What's wrong? Is there a problem?

Nothing.

You've been terminated,

but you're still here acting like you own the show.

How could you say that, you punk?

Qiang.

Are you asking for a beating?

Qiang, calm down. Let’s go back first.

I suspect that the cars sent by the waste collection company

have constantly been overloaded.

There are problems with Zheng Yaojun’s car carriage and tires.

The tires were just changed half a month ago.

They can't already be so damaged and deformed already.

We worked so hard

to separate the construction waste.

But they were all mixed up again.

They wanted to transport more waste,

so they mixed everything together.

Then, didn't we do all that work for nothing?

There are rocks on the road,

so I guessed it might have something to do with overloading the cars.

The top of the car carriage

should be sealed.

But in order to transport more,

they didn't seal it well,

causing the cover to loosen.

That's why the rocks fell off.

Overloading the cars is an extremely serious matter.

But this is currently just our guess.

We need a professional to confirm it.

Then we can report it to the leader directly

and let them investigate.

Who are you going to report to?

Zhang Chen or Guan Hui?

They might all be in cahoots.

Then what should we do?

Lin!

Lin, you're awake.

Wait. I'll get the doctor.

Lin is awake?

Just in time, we're here to visit him.

Ma'am.

We have something to ask Lin.

Look...

He just woke up. I need to get a doctor to check on him.

I'm fine.

Let Supervisor Zhang in.

Ma'am.

Lin, how are you feeling?

[Rongsheng & Runfeng Deshan International Apartment Project Report Meeting]

Now, our clients' requests

have shifted from

the basic environment and construction quality

to privacy and required...

Sorry for the interruption.

Mr. Su.

They are at the door now,

asking for you to come out.

What should we do?

I'm in a meeting.

Tell them to wait.

Okay.

He's making us wait.

How long do we have to wait?

[Anxia Group]

Yeah, I don't know what they're talking about.

It's been two hours, right?

We have work to do later.

Yeah.

Right, Gu?

Gu.

Let's not waste our time on them.

How is the progress of the Chengbei Development Zone?

There was a small accident,

but it won't affect the progress.

Every day, we've been following

the plan to a tee.

The injured workers—

Su Juan!

Mr. Gu.

Mr. Gu.

Mr. Gu.

I'm in a meeting right now.

Please leave.

[Chengbei Wanyuan Development Zone Meeting for Tianyu Fancheng Project's Worker Injury Incident]

Since you're talking about the Chengbei Development Zone,

I have a few questions.

I'll leave after you've clarified them.

There are more than 100 tons of construction waste

at the Chengbei Development Zone.

According to the regulations,

we'll need ten commercial vehicles that carry up to 10 tons each,

for clearance transportation.

But there are only five cars on the construction site.

Also, the waste is cleared every two days.

Supervisor Zhang,

how can we transport over 200 tons of waste with 5 cars?

The contractor has found

a professional waste collection company to handle this matter.

They have their own arrangements and plans.

You're already terminated.

Don't stir trouble here!

You are the supervisor sent by Anxia.

It's your job to supervise the contractor.

How could you have agreed to

such an unreasonable arrangement?

Is what they said true?

Of course not.

We'll know if it's true or not after investigation.

Right now, he's trying to escape

taking responsibility for Lin Yongquan's case,

so he's just making false accusations.

You must not believe him!

Gu is right.

Lin Yongquan, think carefully before you speak.

I'm really sorry I've let you down.

I should have told you about this earlier.

But I didn't want to offend Supervisor Zhang,

so I kept it a secret for him.

After that, when I had an accident,

it was my karma.

On the night of the accident,

only two cars came to pick up the waste.

Every car exceeded 40% of their capacities.

When they left,

a brick fell down the first car

and hit the car behind.

The second car was also too heavy,

so it flipped over.

So the fundamental reason of this matter

is the overloading of the cars.

This was what you delivered to me yesterday.

This unscrupulous money...

I don't want it!

I got rid of such a person in the past.

Why did you hire him?

To all the construction workers,

I apologize on behalf of Anxia.

I will definitely

investigate this matter thoroughly.

I'm sorry.

You're so useless!

You embarrassed me.

I was fooled by the contractor too.

Juan.

He's useless trash.

I shouldn't have let you give him a chance last time.

But he is your uncle after all.

He was fooled because he wasn't careful this time.

Yes, I was fooled by the contractor.

Aunt.

I want to take this lightly.

But Gu Yi came with the workers this time.

Everyone in the company saw it clearly.

If I don't handle it impartially,

I can't appease the public.

Why are you watering the flowers at noon?

People water flowers either in the morning or at night.

But you're watering them at noon?

I like to water them at noon.

I'm not only watering the flowers,

but also you!

Gu Yi.

Gu Yi.

How dare you water me.

Stop.

Stop.

Mom.

What are you two doing?

Mom, try the dishes Qiao Jing and I made.

This is the first time you've peeled prawns for me.

He cooked all these dishes.

You have never entered the kitchen before.

How did you become...

I don't even recognize you now.

Mom.

People

are always getting better.

Besides,

I've met someone who I want to change for the better for.

Let’s eat.

Su Juan has dismissed Zhang Chen for investigation.

Your aunt's fuming.

He deserves it.

What about you?

What are your plans in the future?

Are you going to keep picking up garbage at the construction site?

Mom.

I want to leave Anxia.

Leave?

Where will you go?

I want to start a business with Qiao Jing,

to research and develop the corresponding equipment for construction waste treatment.

This area is still a blue ocean.

There's a big market to be expanded.

Okay.

If you have such ambition,

I will definitely support you.

My son can make his mark

without depending on the Gu family.

Thank you, mom.

Madam, something happened to Chairman Gu.

He just used a new targeted drug

that can effectively prevent cancer cells from spreading.

How was it?

This illness has been with me for so many years.

There's no need to make a fuss.

Chairman Gu's cancer cells are spreading again.

We just tried a new targeted drug.

It has been quite effective.

Who are you?

Aunt Fang.

This is the new expert I hired.

We will make a new treatment plan

based on dad's condition.

Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Han.

The expert you hired?

I think

we should use just a familiar doctor.

If my past doctor was good,

I'd already been cured.

It's for the better to switch doctors.

Aren't you going in to check on him?

No.

He will only be more unhappy

when he sees me anyway.

Chairman Gu is just like you.

You both never mean what you say.

Deep down, I'm sure he wants to see you again.

Go in.

Dad, have some water.

The matter with Zhang Chen is settled.

He colluded with the contractor and took kickbacks.

I've dismissed him.

He's such a loser,

but he sure is bold.

I don't know what your aunt likes about him.

I trusted him too much.

I'm also responsible

for implicating my younger brother.

I wanted him to come back to the company,

but he said he didn't want to.

What is he doing then?

He said he wants to start a business.

He's overestimating himself. It's not easy to start a business.

Don't bother about him. Let him do as he pleases.

Let's see what he can accomplish.

Juan, push me back.

Okay, Dad.

Turn left at the intersection ahead.

Hello.

Hello, who are you looking for?

Does Qiao Jing live here?

Yes, she does.

Great.

Excuse me. Thank you.

Excuse me, who are you?

I'm Gu Yi's mother, Fang Pei.

Gu Yi's mother.

Why are you

at my daughter's house?

Didn't you say you were just colleagues?

When did you get into a relationship?

It's fine if he's ordinary.

I heard he's the son of the boss of Anxia.

His family is so problematic.

Everyone has heard about the news.

Surely our family is not good enough for them.

I don't mind your family's humble background.

Instead, you're putting on airs.

A humble family like ours

would never suddenly have an illegitimate child.

I heard that Gu Yi had a fiancée.

I don't know which woman he broke off the engagement for.

It turned into such a mess.

Mom, that woman is me.

Yes.

I don't know

which family's daughter

had him bewitched.

Mom, let's talk nicely.

What is there to talk about?

I can tell you now.

I'll never agree to this relationship.

Mom.

Don't be fooled by them.

Right now, they're saying a bunch of nice things

to coax you and cling onto you,

but they actually have ill intentions.

My son isn't clingy.

It's your daughter who was so persistent.

Mom, I chased Qiao Jing first.

You...

I don't know who it was

that came to me in the past.

I have never paid any attention to you at all.

It's impossible for me to agree to this.

Just give up.

You...

Auntie, my mom still has something to do.

I'll send her back first.

I won't see you off.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Mom.

What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong?

Are you that desperate to marry him?

I...

Stop pushing me, stop pushing me.

Whose son are you?

I'm so mad.

I can't believe you compromised my stance by taking her side.

But it's true that I chased Qiao Jing first.

You still have the nerve to mention that?

You loser.

I confirmed it.

Li Jing is resolute in opposing to

the two of you being together.

Aunt Li is indeed prejudiced against our family.

But I will use my actions

to prove myself.

You've persuaded me,

but it might not work on Li Jing.

Mom, trust your son.

I'll succeed.

All right, you don't have to see me off.

Go back in.

Bye.

Okay.

When did you get together with him?

A lot has happened recently.

I haven't had the time to tell you.

Mom, calm down.

My dear, this man won't do.

He does have a good family background.

But there are so many rich people in the world.

Why must you choose a problematic one?

That's a matter of the previous generation.

Gu Yi's not like that.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

You don't understand that logic, do you?

Mom, Gu Yi was indeed immature before.

But I was partially at fault too.

Now, we've both changed for the better.

You should get to know him better.

Auntie.

Yes.

Okay.

I’ll stay here for a few more days

and get to know Young Master Gu again.

Young Master Gu.

Welcome.

Delicious.

Who made it?

Qiao Jing made it.

Eat.

Mom.

Eat.

Mom, eat.

♫It's too quiet♫

♫You're always silent♫

♫Our sweet past♫

♫Probably is not worth mentioning♫

♫Looking at your back as you leave♫

♫So unfamiliar yet familiar♫

♫The cruelty of memories♫

♫Unwilling to freeze in moments of happiness♫

♫I turned around and saw your back♫

♫A dreamlike illusion♫

♫The night is acting with me♫

♫As my partner♫

♫Even if we just had a fleeting relationship♫

♫I'm also fine with it♫

♫Come closer♫

♫A little more♫

You like this drama too?

Great. Let's watch it together.

How naughty.

Auntie.

I'm sorry. I went the wrong way.

Auntie.

Good men get up early to cook.

Only lazy men stay in bed at this hour.

One, two, three. Get up!

Go cook.

Okay.

Auntie, please enjoy your meal.

Do you like it?

The stuffed buns are too small.

The steamed buns are too dry.

The dumplings are too oily.

The rice porridge is too watery.

The soy milk is bland.

Fried dough sticks are not healthy.

I can tell you've never done manual work before.

Kneel on the ground.

Then it'll be easy to use force, understand?

Yes.

What are you doing so early in the morning?

What's wrong?

If he wants to be my son-in-law,

he has to be able to bear hardship without complaint, like your father.

Understand?

Then we can work together.

Why must you let him do it alone?

Isn't it natural for a man to dote on a woman?

What use is it if a tall man like him can't do work?

Yes, auntie is right.

Mom.

I want to eat your boiled fish.

I've been craving it for a long time.

Really?

Okay, I'll go buy some fish for you.

Work hard.

Okay. Bye auntie.

Get up quickly.

Get up quickly.

Are you tired?

Do you know

your mom waked me up at 5:30 a.m.

and made me work until now?

My back is about to break.

Have a rest. Let me give you a massage.

Jing, where is my wallet?

It's here.

Not bad.

Work hard.

I'll inspect when I'm back.

Okay.

Have some sunflower seeds.

Sit down. Have some sunflower seeds.

I'm leaving.

Bye auntie.

Get up quickly.

Forget it. I'll wipe the floors clean first.

There's so much left.

Then let me help you.

No need. Just take a rest.

It'll be faster if we work together.

But my mom did go too far this time.

It's okay. She's just testing me.

Pleasing one's mother-in-law

is a rite of passage for a qualified son-in-law.

Let's get wiping then.
