[Stand or fall]

[Episode 26]

It's so hard to hail a taxi during rush hour.

By the way, Boss. Your business trip for next week may have to be rescheduled.

HR informed the whole company today that we'll split into two teams for a team-building event.

Can I not go?

All executives must attend.

- Ding Ning is going too? - He's coming with us.

Can't get a taxi? Let's go together.

You got off work so early today, General Manager Ding.

What do you mean? Did you forget we have a meeting with a client?

General Manager Ding, I almost forgot.

Why are you standing there? Get in the car. We'll be late.

Goodbye, General Manager Ding and Director Guan.

I heard that you still haven't fired Wang Yake.

Why?

With your temper, you should've gotten rid of him immediately.

Why are you keeping such a guy who secretly helps others?

He eventually got back on the right path.

And the company is about to pay out their bonuses.

Isn't it immoral to fire him at this time?

Da Luo told me that Yake's mother is ill.

His family must need the money.

Are you that kind of person?

I'm not overly sympathetic.

I'm just putting myself in his shoes.

Yake didn't do anything wrong.

We all just have a different point of view.

He's speaking ill of you behind your back. How can you say he hasn't done anything bad?

He's just saving his own life. Sailing with the wind is not a major fault.

Isn't it normal to want to cling to your boss and do as the boss says?

Sometimes Wang Yake can be a bit easily swayed, but he can still do his job.

And some time ago, I heard from Da Luo

that he feels a bit insecure because we leave him out of our plans.

What's that look?

The Guan Wen I know has never been this sympathetic.

I'll give you another chance.

Think carefully before you speak.

I love a little hedgehog who never admits defeat.

What a coincidence.

Why are you here?

Is he a little drunk?

You're just colleagues?

What else did you think?

He took you home.

Ride-share drivers take me home every day, too.

That's different.

Let me formally introduce myself. I'm Guan Tengfei.

- I'm her biological brother. - That's not necessarily the case.

He looks nothing like me.

I'm Ding Ning, Wanli's General Manager.

General Manager?

That's great. Xiao Wen is really great.

She usually doesn't make a move. But when she does, it's a big move.

What's this called...

A sugar daddy, right?

Guan Tengfei, watch your words.

WeChat or Alipay?

Just two thousand yuan. That's it.

And I won't say anything to Wang Meili. What do you think?

If you dare tell Wang Meili, believe it or not, I will break your leg.

Then what about half? One thousand.

I'll break your finger off. Are you broke again? I told you to find a job.

What do you mean am I broke again?

How would you know if I'm looking for a job or not?

Can I go job hunting with these kinds of outfits?

Look, General Manager is sitting right here.

This outfit of mine won't even let me pass the interview.

As my sister, shouldn't you sponsor your brother?

Have you ever heard of this saying, Guan Tengfei?

"A good horse gets a good saddle." What kind of horse are you?

QR code.

Try this.

I don't want one. I won't. How much is the meal?

Can I discount this?

Is everyone here?

Sorry, everyone.

I was planning on meeting with you all in person

to announce the results.

But I'm on a business trip.

It's a closed meeting.

But now, this will work just fine.

Lei Kesen.

You went too far this time.

How can you speak ill of your colleagues behind their backs?

This will ruin the spirit of teamwork.

It's not desirable.

Then, how do you plan to deal with Director Lei's case, Chairman Zheng?

Lei Kesen, hurry up!

Sorry. I'm sorry.

I was wrong.

That's all?

Guan Wen,

Lei Kesen was in the wrong,

but we're a team after all, and we're part of the same company.

Besides, he admitted his mistakes.

He reflected on himself with Mary.

Director Lei wrote me a 20,000-word self-criticism essay.

Only elementary school students write those when they do something wrong.

When has the management of our group declined to this extent?

As Lei Kesen's direct supervisor,

I'm not very satisfied with this result.

I hope the company can...

Ding Ning.

I know Lei Kesen reports to you.

But since this matter got reported to me,

the Group hopes I can step in to mediate.

If you can both do each other a favor,

we can let this matter pass.

It won't be a big deal anymore.

In the future, let's focus our efforts on our work.

Thank you, Chairman Zheng.

Don't be angry. I have an idea.

What's your plan?

Really?

Ding Ning, you've gone too far.

Director Lei, why are you so angry this early in the morning?

Why did you ask HR to send me a warning letter?

Director Lei, are you illiterate?

Didn't they make it clear in the email?

The HR Department did a routine self-review two months ago.

So they sent the warning, not me.

They said I lied about my degree.

That's nonsense.

Am I that kind of person?

Ding Ning, are you still not past my involvement with the rumor? Did you deliberately target me?

The company has dealt with me. I already apologized.

What you're doing now is just abusing your power to get back at me.

Director Lei, so you're saying you weren't trying to hide

your "adult education" in the resume you gave to HR? Is that right?

About that,

HR never came to me to ask about that.

- Besides, that was so long ago. - You're right.

Director Lei, look.

You've been with the company for so many years. Even if you didn't make any contributions, you put in hard work.

And the HR Department had their problems as well.

So I discussed with Mary.

This time it's just a warning. We're not looking into this any further.

- But... - Director Lei.

I am reminding you once again.

One warning will just be recorded in writing, but two warnings?

You'll be in big trouble.

Even Chairman Zheng won't be able to protect you in that case.

So, I think you should be more cautious with your words and actions at the company from now on.

Label that.

- Keep going. - All right.

Did you hear?

Have you been longing to deal with Lei Kesen?

Who told him to play dirty tricks behind other people's backs? He is up to something.

About this, Guan Wen doesn't see you as one of them.

How could you count the money for someone who betrayed you?

You know what? I won't just let it go.

Mary, I hope the HR Department

can complete the evaluations for all directors and above positions as soon as possible.

How about this? Send me the information of of all heads of departments.

It's nothing. I just want to review them in advance.

Let me think.

The HR self-review was three months ago.

Did you already have your mind set on pursuing me then?

You are too smart. It gives me a headache.

So you regret it now?

I don't regret it. You said you would be responsible for my back.

I won't release my creditor so easily.

General Manager Ding, these documents-

Seems like I left one out. I'll look for it.

- Does it hurt? - What do you think?

Remember to lock the door next time.

Come in.

Boss, are you looking for me?

Have a seat.

Boss, didn't you agree not to fire me?

Why are you so nervous? Sit down.

Who said I was firing you? Open the envelope.

It's your year-end bonus. You can give it back to me if you don't want it.

Boss, you scared me.

Are you hiding something?

No.

Thank you, Boss.

Boss, I made mistakes before.

I will never do anything damaging to you again in the future.

You are my boss.

You'll always be my boss.

Words are meaningless. Show me with your actions.

If it happens again, I'll break your leg before firing you next time.

[Jiangzhou Administrative Service Center]

Did we have to come to this point, Xuanxuan?

We can't go back?

We've been together for so many years.

- And I really- - Shut up.

Hurry up and sign it. I have an appointment with someone else later.

Xuanxuan. Let's have a final break-up meal.

We couldn't stay as husband and wife, but we can still be friends.

In case something happens, we can help each other.

Give me your phone.

The password is your birthday. I changed it back.

What's the matter?

I think that after walking out of this door, there's no need for us to contact each other anymore.

So I deleted my contact information for you.

Chen Xuanxuan, when did you become so cold and heartless?

You deleted my-

You changed my password.

What did you change to?

I can't remember.

Chen Xuanxuan, are you crazy? Change it back.

I am crazy.

So I forgot.

Chen Xuanxuan, you're seriously insane.

You achieved nothing on your own, and you can't bear to see others doing better than you, right?

Chen Xuanxuan, you're lazy and stupid. You'll never accomplish anything great!

♫ But time will eventually answer all doubts ♫

Did everything go smoothly?

From today on, please call me the glory of independent women in the new century.

Glory, to celebrate your rebirth, I gave you a huge gift.

What is it? A handsome guy?

Guan Xiao Wen, mind your own business first.

Lin Hao.

- What? - Bro, do you know you are in trouble?

What's up?

A hot topic leaked online,

saying that a scumbag cheated during his marriage.

Although they didn't state his name directly, look at how they're describing him.

They might as well have just posted your ID card.

You...

Lower your voice.

It must be Chen Xuanxuan.

Lin Hao, come here.

Take care, Brother.

Director.

I...

Don't listen to the rumors on the Internet.

Lin Hao, you're the young backbone of our department.

The supervisors all thought highly of you.

But you should know that if you want to keep progressing further,

personal conduct is also important.

Misconduct is the same as breaking the law.

You'll lose the trust of the superiors.

We haven't celebrated yet.

Celebrate what?

My future is at stake.

Don't be angry. You still have me.

Let them say whatever they want to say.

If worst comes to worst, quit. I'll support you.

- Is your family that rich? - I'm as rich as your ex-wife, okay?

I haven't asked you about that. Last time you said you were buying a car.

When are you getting it?

You already got it?

Then... Take me for a ride tomorrow, okay?

All right.

Who is it?

Go and have a look. Did a drunk man go to the wrong room?

Where's Wang Yunyun?

- Wang Yunyun! Come out here! - Who are you?

- Come out here! Come out! - Who are you to barge in like this?

Who the hell are you?

Who am I?

Ask the woman on the bed!

Say something!

You have the guts to do this but not the guts to admit it? You shameless woman!

Wang Yunyun, don't you have any conscience?

You said you wanted a good job, and I asked someone to help you find an internship.

You said it was inconvenient for you to get to work, and I bought you a car.

I gave you whatever you wanted!

But look what you've done.

You're supporting another man and cheated on me!

- Do you think I'm stupid? - No, wait a second.

Yunyun. Didn't you say that your cousin got you this job?

And... And that your cousin gave you this car?

He... I...

Cousin.

He... You...

Wait. He is...

Wang Yunyun, are you playing tricks on me?

I can explain.

The child I'm carrying is yours.

Didn't you say he's my child?

You!

Don't fight her!

I'll kill you today!

Boss.

Boss, good morning.

Morning.

- Have you had breakfast? I bought a lot. - No need.

Don't do these useless things. Focus all your attention on what you should do.

Yes. I'll leave now.

You say nice things behind his back but scold him to his face.

What are you up to?

You should teach him a lesson. Or he won't learn the lesson.

Where's Lei Kesen? Isn't he coming?

He wants to stay behind at the office with Team B.

It's better for him not to go. He's annoying anyway.

General Manager Ding got here early. He's already on the bus.

General Manager Ding.

Good morning, Mary. Thank you for the team building.

It's my pleasure. Thank you, General Manager Ding, for cooperating with the HR department.

It's my pleasure.

Watch yourself. Remember what you promised me.

Keep a low profile.

This is Wanli's report for the latest quarter.

The completion rate is 134%.

If this trend continues, and their sales meet the target again next quarter,

they're bound to double their sales.

Boss. What if...

What if Ding Ning actually completes his bet?

We will be in trouble.

I don't need your reminder.

Playing dirty tricks won't contain him.

Instead, it's easier for him to find something on us

and use it to threaten us with.

That's right.

You're the chairman of the Group.

Why is it so hard to get rid of a general manager?

You said something nice just now.

After all, I'm Ding Ning's superior.

I can't play dirty tricks,

so I'll do it out in the open.

Out in the open?

Ask Lei Kesen to meet me.

All right.

The most common personality test in the workplace... is Miles Briggs Type Indicator,

DISC Personality Test, and the Enneagram Test.

However, today I'm going to use

a more direct method

to help you understand your personality traits.

This is the FPA Color Personality Test.

Do you think it's strange?

Why do most team-building activities

start with a personality test?

There is an old Chinese saying.

Knowing the enemy and knowing oneself wins all battles.

It should be "never lose in any battles."

Only by understanding yourself and knowing your teammates,

can we work together to achieve a win-win situation.

The newly opened Anlan Hotel in Xinchang is great. There are mountains and water.

The company seems to have spent some money on this. Take some photos for me later.

Is this your boss?

- This is General Manager Ding. - General Manager Ding.

You may be very curious about his personality color.

General Manager Ding, which color do you think matches your personality the best?

[Gold: Loyal | Green: Analytical]

[Red: Impulsive | Blue: Emotionally Driven]

It seems that our General Manager Ding doesn't know himself that well.

So what does everyone else think

General Manager Ding's personality type is?

- Red! - Green!

- Green! - Yellow!

- Green! - Green!

Yellow!

Miss, what do you think General Manager Ding's color is?

[Gold: Loyal | Green: Analytical]

Any of these colors seem to match him well.

That's a great insight. That's true. Each one of us will match a combination of colors.

Few people will fall into just one extreme color.

It seems that this colleague knows General Manager Ding very well.

Then can you be more specific?

Which color of personality does General Manager Ding reflect?

I think the negatives in the brackets all match him well.

Director Guan.

Which color do you think your personality is?

My personality?

The positives in the brackets match me well.

Are you that confident?

She may be saying that she and her boss complement each other.

I only think...

I have a perfect personality.

How about this? Let's have the test later.

I want to see what color

Director Guan's perfect personality is.

Are you trying to learn from me, General Manager Ding?

Yes.

All right.

Since everyone is looking forward to the test,

next, let's warm up with some ice-breaking activities before we start.

All right.

- Sorry. - Are you that childish?

Stop.

General Manager Ding!

- General Manager Ding, please show us something. - General Manager Ding!

- Come on, General Manager Ding. - Sorry. - Come on!

Lean!

Lean back, don't worry. I'll catch you. Come on.

- Come on, Guan Wen. Come on. - Come on.

Come on.

- I couldn't catch you. Come on. - Are you all right?

Stand up.

- Are you all right? - Sorry.

Wait and see.

People with this personality are usually called...

Is this personality test accurate?

Yake, look at this.

Director Guan.

The assessment chart doesn't show that you have a perfect personality.

I should take a look at General Manager Ding's personality and color chart.

See how perfect it is so that I can learn from it.

What? Goodness, General Manager Ding.

Did you copy our boss's test? Why is it exactly the same?

Don't say that!

They're so similar!

I also suspect that you copied my test.

You're a born leader.

General Manager Ding, it seemed like you had fun during the team-building exercises.

You started it.

But it seemed like you were enjoying yourself, too.

I'm sleeping alone tonight.

- Do you want to... - I'm sleeping alone tonight, too.

Do you want to...

I'm staying on a high floor and no one will disturb us.

My room is relatively quiet, so no one will disturb us either.

You're so stubborn.

But it's sweet, isn't it?

It's really sweet.

- You're becoming bolder. - You'll know when you come over tonight.

You wish.

Boss Lady. This cake is so nice!

Call me Boss.

You're so handy, Boss.

You are the first person that's ever praised me so much in my life.

We can't eat it.

He Yifei hasn't come back yet. Let's try it together when he's back.

Xuanxuan.

He Yifei. Come here.

Try the cake I made.

If we get good feedback that it taste good,

I'll put this cake on the menu of our restaurant.

- What's up? - Professor Chen and his wife are here.

Why did they come here?

I saw them in the elevator.

Professor Chen looked angry. He's heading this way.

Did they find out I got divorced?

- You haven't told them yet? - I...

- Hello. - How can I help you?

Where's your boss?

Why are you running away? Just tell him directly

You don't know Professor Chen's temper.

He will beat me to death if he finds out I got divorced.

Don't let them know.

Yifei, why are you here?

You know Xuanxuan?

I'm working part-time here.

Where's Chen Xuanxuan?

She's...

- In the storeroom. - He Yifei!

You know I got divorced?

I didn't mean to keep it from you.

I know you think

that Lin Hao drew the shorter end of the stick by marrying me.

I should be content.

But I can't be with him anymore.

I know you're embarrassed by my divorce.

We can discuss the divorce later.

But why didn't you tell us about such a serious matter that happened before?

What else... is worse than divorce?

Why didn't you tell me?

Did Lin Hao force you to keep your mouth shut?

Is this why you're mad?

What else is more serious than your health?

- I thought... - What did you think?

Who's our biological child, you or Lin Hao?

Do you think your mother and I would force you even though you're not living a good life?

I did wish for you and Lin Hao to live a good life together.

That's because we thought that he would give you a good life.

But now he's bullying you.

I'm the first one against it!

- Dad. - You made a good choice divorcing him.

I heard from Director Zhang that he had an affair.

And he's supporting another woman.

He's out of his mind.

Tomorrow,

go to the hospital with me for a check-up.

Let's see how we can improve your health.

All right.

Do you have enough money?

If you don't have enough to pay off the mortgage, your mother and I...

Dad, I have enough.

I'm doing pretty well in every other aspect.

Thanks, Mom.

The food is on your plate. Not on my face.

Boss, I just feel that you've been looking really good recently.

You look ten years younger.

Just like a new intern.

Why are you flattering me so much all of a sudden?

Could you please just satisfy my curiosity a tiny bit?

Ask away.

Are you and General Manager Ding together now?

Then let me ask you.

What's going on between you and Yake?

Well, Yake... Don't make fun of me.

Then why do you know so much about his family's situation?

He did something wrong. And you even interceded for him.

I didn't. We are all colleagues. And he's not a bad guy.

Da Luo. I want to ask you.

How can I make a man

make the first move?

What?

Nothing.

Is there any way to make her make the first move?

What happened?

Seesaw battle. She refuses to come to my room.

Then go to her room.

I can't just go because she wants me to.

♫ Fast or slow, perhaps at the next stop ♫

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

Having fun, Director Guan?

I didn't expect you to be so impatient, General Manager Ding.

Well, it is you after all, Guan Wen.
