[Stand or Fall]

[Episode 17]

Count clearly. Don't get the names on the card wrong.

Don't worry.

- Is it this one? - Right.

- Have a look. - Right.

Director Guan. I need to talk to you about something.

- What's the matter? - I'm meeting Peter and the others for dinner.

Yeah, we'll talk about the upcoming event.

You won't be going. I'll take Xiao Zheng and Yake with me.

Why? You don't think I can handle it?

I've already arranged with Director Huang.

As long as he stirs things up, the promised brands will immediately...

Business dinners are not suitable for females.

Hey.

Okay, got it. I will be there soon.

Wait a second. What do you mean by business dinners are not suitable for females?

Are you biased?

This is not bias. You can't handle that kind of scene.

You and Peter already don't get along.

If you are there, the situation will get more uncontrollable and complicated. So don't go there to add trouble.

I don't get along with Peter. I still have to work, right?

If I avoid him now, I still need to work normally in the future.

What's wrong with her?

Xiao Zheng, Xiao Yang, Yake, get in the car.

- Come with me to the dinner. - Okay.

Then I...

Da Luo, you're a girl, you don't need to go either.

General Manager Ding, how is she a girl?

Why aren't females allowed to go to the dinner?

Who knows? He suddenly came here to be crazy.

So, are we going home now?

You go back first. I have to go and check it out.

Come, come.

Director Huang, a toast to you.

This toast is to the bosses of the brands here.

Thank you for your support.

I'll drink it up first!

General Manager Ding! You are young and promising.

He looks to be only 35.

He is already a general manager of the mall at such a young age.

We older ones are passed over.

General managers of shopping malls are different in size.

Wanli and Hengtian are not in the same category.

He is right. There are different levels of brands, too.

The unit prices of Louis Vuitton and TL are not the same, either.

Isn't that right, Director Peter?

However,

doesn't it mean that we don't have room for improvement?

Since none of us has reached the top,

we should seize the opportunity to work together

to achieve a win-win situation, right?

In fact, Wanli has had quite a few

events this year with really good results.

I think the Goddess Festival event will get twice the result with half the effort.

We'll do our best to work with you and achieve more sales.

Thank you, General Manager Ding.

Director Huang said it reversed.

I think it's half the result with twice the effort.

The same marketing budget of ¥‎300,000,

Hengtian will naturally do great when our marketing department gives it to them.

Hengtian and Wanli are from the same mother,

and they are both assets under the same group.

Director Peter, you are willing to invest in the event at my brotherly mall,

I'm very happy.

But I heard Hengtian's brand marketing promotion event has a full plate.

Just the brands from the first floor,

when their promotional expenses are added up,

It's estimated to exceed tens of millions in yuans.

What did you say your budget is? ¥‎300,000.

I'm a little concerned.

If you throw in the money,

the customers might not even hear the sound.

In that case, why not consider Wanli again?

It's not that I won't consider Wangli.

It depends on your sincerity.

He is drinking too much.

I'll wait and see how you'll die.

I hope all the bosses here will support our event.

Sign the proposed agreement as soon as possible.

Here's my toast to everyone.

We're all brothers! It's a simple matter.

We will fully cooperate.

Thank you, Director Huang.

Since you have happily invited us to dinner,

let's not talk business today.

We'll only drink.

Director Peter is right.

Let me salute you with a toast.

Director Peter, we'll salute you with a toast, too.

General Manager Ding, this is not good.

You didn't drink much.

And you already let your subordinates drink for you?

No, Director Peter.

General Manager Ding has been drinking a lot.

Drinking... is just for us to get happy.

But, Director Peter, you have to show me your attitude. Right?

You're pushing me too hard.

You've been with Guan Wen for too long.

- You picked up her bad habits? - You're wrong.

Both Guan Wen and I actually want to help TL.

Maybe it looks a little desperate. Please forgive me.

Are you desperate or persecuted?

Last time, you blocked us from entering Hengtian.

General Manager Ding, you have to drink all of this up.

Then we can turn the page

and talk about the rest.

It's a deal.

Only General Manager Ding will drink the wine.

No one else will intercept.

Otherwise, how can you show Wanli's full sincerity?

Are they going to drink all night?

Waiter, come here. Get help.

Someone is vomiting inside. Get people to clean it up.

Okay.

Come quickly. Run.

Waitress.

Boss?

Take this for me.

Nice to meet you, Director Guan.

Is Director Guan working a second job here?

If you can't eke out a living at Wanli, come to me.

I came late because of a meeting at the company.

I'll drink a glass first as a penalty.

- I'll drink one with you. - Half a glass isn't enough.

If you want to drink,

make it a full glass.

Director Peter... So sorry.

I... am I so clumsy?

Let me wipe it up for you.

So sorry. I didn't mean to do it. Don't be angry.

I'm really sorry.

I think you did it on purpose.

Even if I got drunk, you can't hit my person.

You're not drunk?

So you are the damsel who rushed in to save the hero?

I was afraid that you couldn't hold the alcohol.

Getting drunk would cause trouble.

Look at me now. Do I look drunk?

Peter brought over a bunch of cunning guys

because he wanted to embarrass Wanli.

No matter how much I drank, he would have never supported Goddess Festival.

If I don't pretend to be drunk, should I wait to go to the hospital?

You knew this was a set up. Why did you come then?

Should I stand by to watch these guys take advantage of you?

- You're worried about me? - I'm not worried about you.

I'm worried that you'll disgrace Wanli.

Since I'm the one who arranged the dinner. I must have figured out a solution.

If I hadn't known, I wouldn't have bothered to help.

I should have left you alone in the private dining room for the whole night.

Aren't you going to thank me?

Just for stopping Peter from hitting me?

When you pretended to be drunk, it's a technique.

When I deliberately irritated Peter to hit me, isn't that a solution?

Someone is stupid enough to ask for a beating.

If I don't catch him in the wrong,

how will I threaten him in the future?

I almost forgot until you mentioned it. You're good at threatening people.

♫ Fast or slow, perhaps at the next stop ♫

♫ Someone is waiting for me, no rush, there's an answer ♫

Guan Wen.

No matter what, thank you for protecting me today.

The budget is in someone else's pocket.

What else can you do to take the money out of his pocket?

Ding Ning,

can you give me another ¥‎200,000 for the budget?

I'm not that drunk.

You knew it's a set up. Why did you still come?

Should I stand by to watch several guys take advantage of you?

- Are you worried about me? - I'm not worried about you.

I'm worried that you'll disgrace Wanli.

[Xiao Yancheng]

Hey.

I heard you enjoyed being the hero saved by the damsel.

This experience is way beyond my level.

How about I interview you? How do you feel now?

- It seems you are enjoying it. - All right, Mr. Xiao.

I'm not joking with you anymore.

I'll be serious in telling you about it.

I, Ding Ning, starting now,

have fallen for Guan Wen again.

From now on, I'll keep up pace with her,

and I'll be respectful to her.

I'm getting the goosebumps.

What's this about showing respect to her?

We'll run the company successfully together.

You are a dog who can't change its habit.

Hurry up! There're more people in the hospital in the afternoon. Hurry up!

Mom, let's go home.

No way. Did you forget you had diarrhea this morning?

How miserable you were!

Let the doctor do a checkup. Be good.

But I don't want to get a shot. Shots are scary.

Let's talk to the doctor. [Outpatient]

- Let's not get the injection, okay? - Okay.

Give me the medical card.

Wang Liren, right?

Right.

What's the problem?

I'm just not very good in that aspect.

What aspect?

It's not good down there.

It's not going well in bed?

Right.

Go over there and take off your pants.

I need to take off my pants?

Do you think I can see through things?

Hurry up, don't delay the patient who is next.

There is nothing serious.

It's a small problem.

Then I... what about it?

What's your job?

I'm a businessman.

You often stay up late to socialize?

That's right.

You're not the only one who has this kind of problem.

Men are stressed. It's unavoidable.

When will I recover?

That's up to you.

Take good care of yourself.

Don't give yourself too much pressure.

Get your medicine from the pharmacy. [Men's Clinic]

Wait, let me see which floor it is.

We came to the wrong floor.

Yes, we should go to the third floor.

Someone looks just like your dad. Did you see?

No.

Come on.

General Manager Ding, how were you last night?

You drank so much.

Guan Wen isn't here yet?

Boss came in at 8 a.m. already. She went out to a meeting.

She especially asked me to ask you to sign this.

[Funding Request]

Does our company have this kind of funding request?

Not before. But the boss came in this morning to ask the head of accounting

It's newly added.

Do you know where she went for a meeting?

I think she went out to see the agent that's closest to Peter, Director Zhang.

Director Guan,

you understand about my difficulties.

I've known Peter for a long time.

He already declared, so I...

You are still just friends no matter how close you are.

Does he pay you?

In this Goddess Festival event, if your company is willing to take the lead to participate,

- Wanli will subsidize the entire cost. - Really?

I've got the agreement here.

The Party B's name is left blank.

Just waiting for you to sign.

Let me think it over.

If it's so hard for you, Director Zhang, just forget it.

The quota for the full subsidy is only one for each floor.

I believe many brands will be very interested.

After all, you can show it to your boss.

It will be considered as an achievement.

But I still admire you, Director Zhang.

You would sacrifice the company's profits for a personal relationship.

However, if your boss finds out...

Director Guan, don't misunderstand.

I didn't say I wouldn't sign it.

This is just...

I won't bother you then.

Your boss is also here coincidentally.

Since it's not convenient for you, I will go to him directly to apply.

Bring the contract.

This... This afternoon,

Peter has asked several of us agents to get together.

It seems Peter is still worried about you.

- Thank you, Director Zhang. - No,

Director Guan, I didn't say anything.

You can't make me the only target.

Don't worry. I won't make this difficult for you.

Director Li.

Director Guan, why are you here?

To talk about the Goddess Day event, of course.

Wasn't this matter discussed at the meal already?

Listen to the proposal first before you decide.

I've specially applied to the company to subsidize half of your company's cost in participating in the Goddess Festival.

How about it? Are you interested?

I never heard that there was any subsidy for this event.

That's why it's a rare opportunity.

Do you want to sit down and chat?

- But I'm in a hurry... - To see Peter?

How did you know about this?

All of you team up with Peter and boycott Wanli.

Other than getting a so-called brotherhood friendship,

what else can you get?

The first one to participate in Wanli's event got a full subsidy.

The second one gets a half subsidy.

Those who sign up later will see less and less subsidy.

Hold on.

You said that our company only enjoys half the subsidy?

You mean, another brand's company has already signed?

Didn't you ask me how I knew you were going to see Peter?

Are you interested in sitting down to chat now?

I can't refuse anymore. Let's go.

What's wrong with Zhang and the others?

We agreed on 3 pm. Why haven't they shown up yet?

You called them on the phone?

I called, but no one answered.

None of them answered?

This is strange.

Like it was planned.

- Hello. - Hello, Sir.

Can I borrow your phone? I need to make a call.

- Of course. - Thanks.

Hello, who is this?

- Old Zhang, what is going on? - Peter?

I'm so sorry. I'm on a sudden business trip today.

So I can't come today.

Are you guys going on a business trip together?

All right, thank you.

- We aren't waiting for them anymore? - They aren't coming.

Why not?

They've done something bad.

They agreed to Wanli?

Old Zhang is such a pushover.

Guan Wen is really fierce.

She targets the weak ones.

How did she know Old Zhang is easy to persuade?

Why did I go to Old Zhang?

It's because his brand's boss from Europe just arrived here.

He hasn't gained the full trust from the higher-ups,

and he is under great pressure for sales this year.

It's such a sweet deal to get full subsidy for promotional event.

There will be no next time if he misses this one.

Our boss is the best, isn't she?

But you're working so hard, Boss.

Oh no! The skin on your feet is scraped. Boss.

- Let me get you a band-aid. - Do you have it?

No, I don't.

Thank you.

I've never thought of bypassing TL

and work on the other agents.

We previously kept focused on Peter,

it didn't work at all.

Winning over Peter is the first thing to try,

but he won't yield to any kind of methods.

In fact, sometimes we can think in a different direction.

They are like grasshoppers tied on the same string.

Secretly, they each harbor their own scheme without full trust.

If you can cut off any one of them,

you can destroy whatever trust they have among them.

Enough now. There are still two brands. I'll go and talk to them.

Just let the two of us go.

You two should stay in the company to keep a close eye

on the brands that signed this morning.

Also confirm the details with the Marketing Department.

Lei Kesen's team isn't easy to deal with.

Don't try so hard to get them and drive away the brands that we spent effort to get them to sign up.

Okay. Don't worry.

Boss. General Manager Ding was looking for you this morning.

Would you like to call him back?

Did he sign that fund request form?

Yes, he did.

Ignore him then. Tell him I'm busy.

Take it easy.

Madam? Madam is here. Everyone, come quickly.

I've brought you some good snacks for everyone.

- Come, eat some snacks. - Pass them out.

- Thank you, Madam. - Thank you, Madam.

Thank you.

Thanks for your hard work.

Where's President Wang?

He took the newcomer Xiao Liu to a meeting outside.

Oh, yes. I forgot to ask you.

How is that young man doing?

He works hard.

But he lacks experience.

In socializing matters, he isn't as helpful as Lisa.

This is normal. He'll get better over time.

President Wang appears to be under a lot of pressure lately.

He looks tired.

Why? Is there any problem with the company?

A request for approval has taken a long time.

So President Wang wants to look for a third-party consultant to make connections.

In the end, they found out that we were rushing to open a store and demand a sky-high price.

How about this? Send me the name of that consultant.

Is this appropriate? President Wang won't want to worry you.

It's fine. I won't let him know.

Okay then.

Guan Wen, can you please change your habit of hitting before before finding the truth?

I didn't know someone was in the company at this hour.

You suddenly switched off the lights. I was scared.

- Don't you turn off the light when you leave for home? Haven't you studied the employee handbook? - Here.

What is this wrinkled thing? Where did you get it?

It's a Band-Aid. Da Luo applied it on my heel this morning.

It is new and unused.

Why are you being such a nuisance?

Okay, it's on now.

I didn't see you at the company all day.

General Manager Ding, are you checking my attendance?

I didn't slack off or cut back on work.

Where did you go? I asked Yake to tell you that I was looking for you.

But you never even replied.

The whole day, I had to battle those old foxes on wits and courage. I couldn't get to it.

You have to explain it to me. What's the purpose for that ¥‎200,000?

To use it as a bait to attract the greedy agents.

But, let me tell you a piece of good news.

I'm sure TL will call tomorrow to attend our event.

General Manager Ding, you stopped me at the office so late at night.

Is it only because of the ¥‎200,000?

I had a conference call with a client.

- What's up? - There is no water.

General Manager Ding, why are your ears red?

It's cold.

You're cold in this weather?

If it's cold, just change the water.

You've gone crazy. I'm the general manager.

General Manger Ding!

- Director Guan, you are also here. - Director Lei is so happy. Is there any good news?

It's a piece of good news indeed.

Through our Marketing Department's efforts,

we've finally conquered that difficult TL.

What did you say?

It's you who got hold of TL?

That's right. Our department has been working without rest for many nights.

Of course, General Manager Ding, we should praise the Business Development Department this time.

Director Guan's team tried their best to help me.

Thank you, Director Guan.

Is that so?

Director Lei, how can you say that?

The reason why TL agreed was all because our boss

visited more than a dozen agents and convinced them to come to the event.

So TL has no other choice.

If they don't agree, the one who loses on business would be TL itself.

Da Luo, what you said is meaningless.

Your Director Guan indeed visited the agents.

But how do you know our team didn't go to see TL?

Furthermore, when your Business Development Department came to our Marketing Development to improve the brands' performance.

I didn't say no to that.

But our joint meetings weren't only for the Business Development Department's KPI.

If all the brands run away, what else will the Marketing Department work on?

You may leave first.

You two... leave first.

General Manager Ding, you have to rein in the Business Development Department.

All they've done is signed a few brands.

Now they are like mad dogs biting everyone.

They look down on all other departments.

Director Lei, you handled the Goddess Festival event really well.

How about this? I'm going to have a mobilization meeting

to commend you and your team for your contribution and hard work for this event.

Also, you need to be prepared.

At that time, I will also share with everyone the plan for the Goddess Festival event.

You've got it. General Manager Ding, I'll share this good news with all my subordinates right away.

Okay.

Long live Director Lei!

Lei Kesen has really crossed the line.

I've never seen such a shameless guy.

Same with General Manager Ding. How can you believe him?

It's because I've seen everything after living a long time.

Boss, let's report to General Manager Ding again.

General Manager Ding won't trust anyone easily now.

Besides, this is a good warning to me.

But General Manager Ding previously said something that is really accurate.

My temperament is too direct.

I won't gain by confronting this kind of people directly.

- Then we... - If this way doesn't work,

we can think of other ways.

This...

My dear, try their tiramisu.

It's amazing. It tastes so good.

Zhi Qiu, you know me the best.

You know I like to eat tiramisu.

I am going to the restroom. Take your time to enjoy.

Hello, my dear.

Is that Consultant Zhang you told me about coming to this restaurant tonight?

I'm already eating dessert. and haven't seen any sign of him.

Mrs. Wang, don't think everyone is like you to eat dinner at 5:30 pm.

We are the working class. It's normal for us to have dinner at 7 p.m.

I asked his secretary for you.

He indeed has an appointment with President Pang tonight. It's correct.

Oh, I forgot to ask you something.

How is it that you are personally helping your Preisdent Wang on business matters?

Didn't I recently kick out his secretary?

I feel guilty.

Jing Zhiqiu, if you don't tell me the truth,

don't ask me for help when you have trouble in the future.

I really have seen him under great pressure from work lately.

He has social functions every day and not get home until midnight.

I can't bear to see him suffer.

Can't bear to see him suffer? Why does it sound to me like intolerable loneliness

and wishing to see more vitality from him?

How can such a beautiful lady like you

talk with such a mouth?

All right, I can't talk to you anymore.

I'll keep waiting for someone.

Bye bye.

- Please. - Okay.

President Pang, the ambiance is great here.

It looks good.

You're finally back.

If you still didn't come back, I would eat your tiramisu.

That's great! I was wondering if you could eat it for me.

My stomach hasn't felt well lately. I want to throw up when I eat sweet food.

But I'll gain weight.

Why do you say that? You are not fat at all.

This is called "Look of Fortune."

You can't be thinner. It symbolizes good luck for your husband.

I love to hear the auspicious words from you.

Okay, I won't hold back then.

- I really love it. Tiramisu is my favorite. - Come.This way.

The surroundings here are nice, don't you think?

This restaurant is really good.

Wifey?

Hubby, why are you here?

- What a coincidence! - What a coincidence!

You're welcome.

This is my client, President Zhang.

She's my wife.

Director Zhang, how are you?

You're so courteous.

- Let me do that. - Okay, okay.

- Thanks. - Thank you.

Hubby. She is Jing Zhiqiu.

I told you about her already. We enjoy having fun together.

Her husband also works in commercial real estate.

I don't dare to compare. We are a small business.

We're no match for President Pang.

You're humble.

May I know which company your husband works for?

Renqiu Realty.

Mrs. Wang, you're too humble.

I know about Renqiu Realty.

Although it's a small company, they are very professional.

Let's find a day to ask your husband out and introduce him to me.

We can look for an opportunity to collaborate.

Really?

Thank you, President Pang, on behalf of my husband.

Don't mention it.

Director Zhang?

Zhang Li.

Director Zhang, if there's a chance to work with our Renqiu Realty in the future,

please be kind to help us.

Of course. President Pang's friend is my friend.

I will definitely support you, Mrs. Wang.

Then I... I'll propose a toast to everyone!

- Have some tea! - Thank you, Sister.
