[Episode 15]

[All animals in this show were filmed under safety guidance] [Do not imitate]

Come down.

[Dacheng, a security guard at Teng Yue]

Hello.

Who are you?

Who are you looking for?

I'm Xu Si. I'm here to see Jiang Hu.

You are

Mr. Xu from Baoxing Investment?

Nice to meet you.

Please write down your name,

company,

and phone number

on the guestbook.

Your number.

Have the surveillance cameras been installed?

Yes.

They're on.

There are cameras inside as well.

Have a good day.

Have a good day.

This is good.

Come down.

A four.

A five.

It's your turn.

Ace.

It's your turn. Hurry up.

Hurry, hurry.

You call?

Why are you playing cards?

Why are you playing cards?

What are you doing?

Liu Jun.

It's working hours.

Everyone is working,

yet you're here

playing cards.

You play cards every day.

What do you want?

Huh?

Stop yelling.

Ms. Jiang is over there.

She doesn't know what's going on here

and may misunderstand me.

You're a leader

but don't behave like a leader.

You play cards here every day.

Look at yourself!

You're also a leader!

You're the factory director

but play the market during working hours.

Does Ms. Jiang know about that?

I…

I'm the factory director. Who are you to tell me what to do?

I am playing the market but what does that have to do with you?

You're the factory director

so you should set a good example.

Don't you know that?

You misbehaved first.

I just followed suit.

Listen up.

Liu Jun.

If you want to play cards,

if you want to play poker,

go home and play it.

Go home and play it!

You can play all you want.

You don't need to come tomorrow.

What does that mean?

You're fired!

Do you hear me?

You're fired.

Who are you to fire me?

He's fired!

Do you hear me?

What a jerk.

All he does is play cards.

Ms. Jiang.

I did a lot for this factory.

How could he fire me just like that?

Guys, be careful.

He can fire anyone he wants!

You're fired.

Uncle.

I must fire you!

That's enough, Uncle.

Mr. Liu, calm down.

Mr. Pei

has got his concerns.

If you play poker

in the factory,

you'll indeed be bad influences.

But

you need to loosen up.

I understand that.

He said that just now out of anger.

Don't take it to heart.

I'll talk to him later.

Okay.

All right. Everyone, get back to work.

Complete this batch of goods.

We'll finish this deal before this month ends.

What's this surprise inspection

at noon all about?

What?

You don't want to see me?

No. That's not what I mean.

I just haven't seen you

in a long time

and am a bit surprised

by your sudden visit.

A long time?

Are you sure?

The last time we met,

we dined together at Bo's.

Since then, I've been working hard in the factory

to run a tight ship

as you advised.

You could say that.

But I can't believe you.

There's no booze at your place?

It makes sense.

Booze can get in the way.

Some people

do weird things

when they're drunk.

To stay

clear-minded,

I haven't drunk

in a long time.

A long time?

Are you sure?

Strictly speaking,

I drank

just a little bit

last night.

Just a little bit?

Yes.

Our CFO,

Yue Shan, can prove that.

I was with her

last night.

Just her?

No one else?

No.

It was just me and her.

Do you want me to swear?

I swear, last night, I…

All right.

I didn't ask you to swear.

I just want you to believe me.

You go insane when you're drunk,

so you'd better stay on the wagon.

Okay. Then let's not talk about booze.

Let me get you a bottle of water.

Here. Please have some water, Boss.

Show me the financial report

of Teng Yue.

Jiang Hu.

Jiang Hu.

How could you do that?

I fired Liu Jun

but you let him stay

in front of so many people.

Yeah, you're the head now.

Your word carries a lot of weight.

I'm just the factory director

and don't need to be taken seriously, right?

Uncle.

You can't

handle things that way.

So many workers were watching.

Liu Jun is a veteran worker.

You shouldn't have embarrassed him

in front of everyone.

I don't care

that he's a veteran worker.

Look at what he did.

All he does every day

is play cards.

Listen.

If your dad were here

dealing with this matter,

he'd have fired him as well.

Unlike you,

he wouldn't

be a fence-sitter

and avoid problems.

Why am I a fence-sitter?

You're too extreme.

The working environment

should be harmonious.

If you fire whoever you want,

what will other workers think?

I

don't care

what others think.

I'm in charge of this factory.

I'm running it my way.

Liu Jun

is always

against me.

Listen.

If I don't kick him out today,

he'll kick me out in the future.

I'm the factory director.

What do you expect me to do?

What do you expect me to do?

Enough.

-What do you expect me to do? -Enough.

Uncle.

You're too excited.

Go home

and chill out.

He didn't drive me away

yet you're doing it?

Please get it straight.

I'm your uncle.

Okay.

Okay.

Let me

make it clear.

If Liu Jun stays

in this factory,

I'll never come back.

Just wait and see

how this factory goes under.

If you let him stay,

you'll be letting a menace stay.

You'll see.

You'll see.

Just wait and see.

As you can see,

things are a bit messy here.

In principle,

we shouldn't be involved

in the management of the company.

But

if the companies we own

are in serious trouble,

we can provide

professional help.

It's okay.

I'll handle it myself.

Okay.

Give me the financial report.

I'll read it after going back.

Wait, Mr. Pei.

I know you…

Alright. Stop.

I don't want to hear it.

You…

Go back to work with Liu Jun.

He's better than me.

No, no.

Wait, Mr. Pei.

Calm down.

He's amazing.

Mr. Pei. Mr. Pei.

I saw Mr. Pei

storming out.

Let him be.

He said he won't come back.

He can use a few days' rest at home

to calm down.

Are you two kids?

You're mad at each other like kids.

You're family.

You should talk calmly and rationally

about the problems in production.

Ms. Yue.

I want to adjust the salary and bonus structure

and set

new performance standards.

I'm already working on that,

together with a piecework wage system.

I'll show them to you in a few days.

You're so considerate.

I have something to tell you.

We've changed

some suppliers,

but for insoles,

Mr. Qian of Lianfa

has the lowest price.

The suppliers Liu Jun introduced to us

can't offer

a lower price.

Then let's buy from him.

But here is the problem.

Mr. Qian asks for a full payment.

That will be a lot of money.

I'm afraid

it'll impact our cash flow.

Production is priority one.

As for other things,

I'll take care of them.

Okay.

You want me to talk to Qian

and vouch for you?

I don't have that much money now.

I can only pay

part of the deposit first.

After Zhang Wenshan pays me,

I'll pay him. Will it work?

Qian is running a small business too.

He needs money to keep things afloat.

I know.

I promise

to pay him

as soon as possible.

Now I understand

how hard it was for my dad to start a business.

There are coyotes around me on the ground

and vultures

above my head

biding their time.

Everything has a price.

I'll pay him in three months.

How's it?

Let me try.

Cut it out.

This is juice, not booze.

This is no way to say thank you.

After I finish this deal,

I'll get drunk with you.

Okay?

We'll get wasted.

Alright.

Get wasted?

But I won't drink.

Okay.

I'll drink.

I'll drink alone.

I'll get wasted.

You're all here.

I have two things to announce.

Meeting time.

First,

from now on, the delivery dockets

of all raw materials and products

must be reviewed

by the accounting department

before they go in and out of the factory.

Understand?

Yes.

Second.

Master Zhang, come.

Let's congratulate Master Zhang.

Master Zhang has been working at Teng Yue

for over 40 years.

We've decided

to promote him as deputy director.

Let's congratulate him.

Congratulations. Congratulations.

Congratulations, Master Zhang.

Congratulations, Master Zhang.

No, no.

I…

I can't…

Master Zhang.

Congratulations.

In the future, you can directly

go to the deputy director

to sign production orders.

Great.

The food made by a big restaurant chef

was indeed amazing.

Xiaolin, come.

Have a seat.

Sit.

Was the food good?

Great.

Not bad.

It was horrible.

Here. Help yourselves.

The sales of Teng Yue shoes

have dropped again

this month.

Ms. Jiang is ruining this company.

We just got a small order from Free Unicorn

yet has to stand Zhang Wenshan patronizing us.

If he stops buying from us one day,

we'll have to live on air.

So, you should

go work somewhere else

when you can.

If you drag it out,

you'll miss the chance to work at a better place.

Can we get as many perks

as we do here at Teng Yue?

Only four workers share a dorm room.

Ms. Jiang even sent for a restaurant chef

to cook for us.

You oaf.

All you care about is food?

If you can make more money,

you can eat whatever you want.

Only the money earned by yourself

is real.

A man dies if uprooted, but a tree thrives.

Sorry.

A tree dies if uprooted, but a man thrives.

Think about it.

Which sounds more promising,

working in a big factory

or working for that young girl?

Jun.

In the factory you mentioned,

how much can we earn per month?

It's hard to say.

In big factories,

workers do piecework.

Big factories like that

get orders worth tens of millions of yuan every month.

Xiaolin,

you're skilled and efficient.

I think you'll be able to earn

at least three times more money every month.

It doesn't sound very tempting, does it?

There's only one shortcoming.

There are only several openings.

You need to hurry

if you want to work there.

That's the only shortcoming.

Think it over.

Jun.

I'll go with you.

Jun. Jun.

Me too.

Me too.

What about you?

Okay.

I'm in too.

Since it's piecework,

I'll sign up too.

Okay. I got you. Don't worry.

Xiaolin.

What are you

thinking about?

Fine.

Think it over.

Tell me when you make up your mind.

That silly girl

thinks she can wrap me around her little finger.

Jiang Hu, I'm back from the business trip.

Let's have dinner together tonight.

Okay.

Orchid cacti,

a kind of hybrid cactus.

They don't need much water

and suit you.

You need some flowers

in your room

so that you can get married sooner.

Let me tell you.

Your mother

picked those flowerpots herself.

They're very expensive.

If you

let them die again,

she'll give you a hard time.

By the way,

this

is the advice

from a fortune-telling app.

Who would invest in that kind of app?

This dish is good.

Why don't you try it?

Give me two bottles of this.

Okay.

Lu.

Xu.

Wait a second.

Xu.

Are you alone or will someone join you later?

She's on her way.

Okay.

I'll take your order after she arrives.

Okay.

Would you like a cup of milk tea first?

No milk tea today.

Okay.

I'll give you sparkling water.

Here, your water.

Thank you.

Hello,

the subscriber you dialed

is busy now.

Please try again later.

Hello, Master Zhang.

I just came out

of the cloth market you mentioned.

They do offer good stuff at low prices.

I've arranged

a delivery tomorrow morning.

Yes.

It's okay.

Okay. See you tomorrow.

Hello, Wu. What's wrong?

Okay. I got it.

I'll be right there.

Hello,

the subscriber you dialed

is busy now.

Please try again later.

[Teng Yue Shoes]

Come in.

You scared me.

What happened?

Half an hour ago,

a tricycle went in.

Where is Dacheng?

He's on night patrol.

Come again.

Bye.

Thank you.

Check, please.

Okay. Wait a moment.

Stop.

That was loud.

He can't get out.

I have the key.

Boss will be here soon.

See that?

Mr. Liu.

It's so late.

Are you going out?

Well,

they're garbage in the factory.

I have nothing to do tonight

and am taking them out.

Garbage?

What garbage

is worth so much trouble?

-Don't bother about that. -Let me see.

No, no, no.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

You may…

Show us.

They're just garbage.

Don't get your hands dirty.

Garbage?

You're acting like they're treasures.

No.

They're really garbage.

I'm afraid you'll get your hands dirty

so I stopped you.

What if I insist on checking?

Ms. Jiang.

There's nothing to check on.

I don't want you to check.

Go back.

We'll see ourselves out.

This is illegal!

Do you know that?

Ms. Jiang.

Life is hard for everyone.

Just turn a blind eye

and it'll be over.

It's the best for everyone, isn't it?

Don't do this.

Wu.

Check the tricycle.

Don't move.

Go away!

Stop him. Come on.

I know you're untrustworthy.

But I didn't expect you

to be so bold.

I'd like to know

how many raw materials

you're stealing from the factory.

Get your hands off me.

You have to leave

these things here tonight.

Otherwise, you can't go out.

Don't touch her.

What are you doing?

Hurry up.

I won't let you go.

Here.

How could you?

Ms. Jiang.

You're stealing from the factory.

Get your hands off me!

Shut up.

Go back. Go back.

No.

Don't move.

Run!

He's filming us.

Hurry.

Liu Jun!

Run! Keep running!

I'm filming it.

If I call the police now,

the police will find you soon.

Keep running.

Why would I run?

Let him go.

Run. Go ahead and run.

Stop filming.

Stop filming.

It's okay. Keep running. Don't stop.

I'm not a celebrity.

Why are you filming me?

Stop filming.

Ms. Jiang.

Let me explain.

There's nothing to explain.

We caught you in the act.

With this video,

you'll do at least a year

in prison.

I'll call the police now.

Hold on.

Hold on. Hold on.

Ms. Jiang.

Let me explain.

Thank you.

Come again.

Okay.

If you like the food,

leave us a good review.

Thank you.

When waiting for a girl,

you need to be patient.

Don't worry.

We close at 11.

Give me a glass of milk tea.

A large glass.

Double sugar.

Okay.

Zhong.

Milk tea.

Double sugar.

Okay.

I've never

done this before.

This is the first time.

My family is barely

getting by.

My son

has cerebral palsy.

I need to look after him.

I'm the only

breadwinner in my family.

My master knows

my situation.

You can ask him.

I'm not lying.

Really.

I've been working in this factory

for 20 years.

I've done a lot for it.

I beg you.

Please spare me this time.

Please let me go.

I can let you go,

but you can't work at Teng Yue anymore.

Leave here by tomorrow.

Learn your lesson.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'll leave tonight.

I'll leave tonight.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, guys.

Don't mention it.

You're welcome.

But why did you

let them off so easily?

The old me

wouldn't have let them off.

But…

Forget it.

Fine. You have the final say.

We've waited here for days

and the effort is worth it.

We finally flushed out those vermin.

Jiang Hu.

Well,

we've done a great job.

Can we get a reward?

Let's go.

I'll buy you kebabs.

Oh, no.

What's wrong?

I was supposed to have dinner with Xu Si.

I completely forgot about it.

It's fine.

It's not a big deal.

No.

Compared to Liu Jun, Xu Si

is much harder to deal with.

If he gets angry,

he'll give me a much harder time

than Liu Jun did.

I mean it.

I'm doomed.

Okay.

Calm down.

Go to meet

the check-signer.

Okay.

Leave here to us.

I'm leaving then.

I can give you a ride.

It's okay.

I've booked a taxi.

I'm leaving.

Okay.

We'll have Western food tomorrow.

I'm leaving.

Bye. Bye.

Bye.

Okay.

Let's push this back.

After pushing it back, we'll leave.

Okay.

Let's go eat.

Here we go.

Are you working overtime?

Come on.

Give us a hand

to push this back.

Okay.

Let's go.

[Bo's]

I don't want any explanations.

Don't you have

anything to say to me?

You said no explanations.

I didn't ask you to keep silent.

Then,

have you had dinner?

Boss.

Here is your food.

I waited for you for so long

yet this is what you're treating me to?

I see.

A generous

and forgiving boss like you

deserves food

that's made especially for you.

No problem.

Wait a moment.

Look.

I've asked the clerk

to heat this pineapple bun.

It's warm and crispy.

Then, I'll put…

A sausage in it.

Together with a delicious

and chewy crab bar.

Don't underestimate the crab bar.

Except for its high price,

it's perfect.

At last, some salad dressing.

Done.

This is a luxurious, limited edition

crab bar salad hamburger.

Try it.

Just one bite.

I promise, after you try it,

you can't get enough of it.

Fine. One more piece of ham.

With one piece of ham,

it'll be even more delicious.

Here, try it.

No.

Do me a favor, Boss.

I'm begging you.

Please.

Please.

Stop.

Begging doesn't suit you.

Okay.

I also have your favorite milk tea.

No instant mix, right?

Okay. I got it.

I have a new recipe.

Then I'll add

a smooth and sexy pudding.

This is embarrassing.

Done.

This is the first cup of milk tea

I made in my life.

Although

it's not as good as Bo's milk tea,

I prepared it

especially for you.

Hold on, hold on.

Please enjoy.

Don't move.

How did you hurt your hand?

It's fine.

I got hurt by accident

when I was solving some dispute.

Drink it.

What dispute?

When you visited the factory last time,

you saw a dispute erupt.

Tonight,

I solved it.

Wait for me here.

I want one box of it.

Okay. Thank you.

I'm fine.

Small cuts like this heal quickly.

Give me your hand.

I can do it myself.

Don't move.

Why were you so careless?

Thank you.

Drink it.

Let me try it.

How's it?

Something is burning over there.

There's a fire!

Over there.

Over there. The trashcan.

Fire!

Hurry up!

Hurry! Put out the fire!

We need water.

Go get some water.

Hurry.

Hurry up.

Go, go, go.

Xu Si.

Your dad and your uncle,

are they still inside?

Say something.

Xu Si.

Save the people inside.

Are you okay?

What's wrong?

I'm fine.

I just remembered

some bad memories.

You're afraid of fire?

When you were young,

did you go to play in the factory a lot?

Me too.

When I was young,

my dad and my uncle

ran a cup factory together.

A cup factory?

The one you mentioned once?

Have you seen a factory on fire?

No.

My dad set strict rules for his factories.

As far as I can recall,

there was no incident

in any of Free Unicorn's factories.

When I was five years old,

there was a big fire in the factory.

That day,

I was playing in the factory

and witnessed it

catch on fire.

My dad

and my uncle

were trapped in the workshop.

Neither of them made it out.

It's all in the past.

Some bad things

can never be forgotten,

but beautiful things

will happen

to alleviate the pain.

[Ziyouqi Group]

Free Unicorn

has the best proposal

among all the companies that reached out to us

after the event at Lidu.

They're also willing

to invest in marketing.

Of course, they offer a good price as well.

So…

I'll communicate with them

like a picky client.

As an influencer,

you are

much more professional than before.

Let's go.

Mr. Zhang is busy with work.

Today,

we'll talk with you on behalf of him.

We were there

during the whole marketing campaign

where you painted on partition walls at Lidu.

We also saw Miss Xiang's work

which won her a prize in the St. Laurent Design Competition.

You have great potential.

However…

Please tell us what you think.

I'll be frank then.

I think

there should be more vision.

I'm talking about Ms. Xiang's works.

All your freehand paintings

and designs

have a lack of vision.

Vision is important.

It can help you improve yourself

and bring your aesthetic sense

to a higher level.

Then what do you think

we should do to have more vision?

You have to admit

that Italian people

are great at designing

and marketing.

These are their new releases

next year.

Those geometric patterns

look incredible.

They

used freehand paintings for advertising too.

If they hadn't used

freehand paintings,

you wouldn't have invited me, would you?

Ms. Xiang, you're smart.

You're not just any influencer.

I heard you have a design degree

and worked in a big company once.

You must

be conceited.

You won't easily admit

that your taste is pedestrian.

But

learning from others humbly

is the foundation

of our collaboration this time.

Learning?

Are you saying

you want me

to steal the designs of foreign artists?

No.

It's borrowing from them

as an act of homage.
