[Negotiator]

[Episode 23]

Director Zhou, Xie Tian Cheng assumed control of X-Group by dishonorable means.

Please do not mix your emotions with work.

If Xie Tian Cheng is guilty of a crime, the law will punish him.

We're not the ones who exact justice.

I believe the workplace has its own order but we should have our own principles--

I'm not here to discuss your personal views.

Tong Wei, don't forget you are a member of CAEA.

Don't cause trouble for CAEA because of your own selfish interests.

As your superior, I'll give you a word of warning.

Let go when you still can

otherwise, everything you've done in the company will be wasted.

- Is that a threat? - I'm trying to save you.

Don't hurt yourself in trying to help others.

Think about your own objectives.

I'll give you three days to think on this.

You can go now.

Hello, Director Qu. It's me.

I've already spoken to Tong Wei. The chairman can rest assured.

Very good.

Chairman Xie wants Tong Wei to hand over the photo of Tang Mi Cai.

Okay, I'll do my best.

- Cheers! - Happy birthday!

Cheers!

Happy birthday!

May you always be beautiful!

The cake is here!

Cake, cake!

Let me arrange this.

- It's so pretty! - Time to cut cake!

We're cutting cake so early?

- We're hungry. Cut it quickly. - Yes, we're all hungry.

Make a wish!

Wei Wei, look who I brought.

- Mr. Qin? - Happy birthday.

Tian Yu, where's your birthday gift?

I picked this out just for you.

Thank you.

- Open it to see what it is. - Yes, open it.

I'll open it when I get home.

No! Open it! We're all curious to see what it is!

- Open it! - We want to see.

- Don't you want to see? - Yes!

What is it?

It's so pretty!

- Thank you. I really like it. - You're welcome.

Xiao Fei, where's your gift? Let's all see it.

Right, take it out and show us.

That's right.

Happy birthday.

Xiao Fei, your birthday gift is one sentence?

Impressive.

It's okay. It's the thought that counts.

Thank you for your gift.

And thank you to all of you for coming. I hope you can all have a good time.

- Let's cut the cake now. - Okay!

Make a wish first.

Ready.

Happy birthday to you...

Cut the cake!

Time to cut the cake!

Here you go.

Manager Tong, split the cake.

I'll get this.

Xiao Fei, what's going on?

You knew it's Tong Wei's birthday today. How come you didn't have a gift?

She said she had everything and didn't need anything.

Are you an idiot?

If she said she chooses Qin Tian Yu

are you going to just watch them get together?

All right, fine. Say a few sweet words to her later.

You know how to do that, right?

Tian Tian, do you think I embarrassed her just now?

A little.

Even Qin Tian Yu gave her a birthday gift.

Yet, as her boyfriend, you didn't have anything.

That was so weak.

Luo Bin's club was destroyed because of me.

Now I've embarrassed her in front of her friends.

I can't even afford a gift.

- Seriously. - Pull yourself together.

Didn't you say even a wrecked ship has 3,000 nails?

But Qin Tian Yu isn't any normal person. He's bigger and better than I am.

Xie Xiao Fei, if you keep using others to put yourself down

I'm going to stop helping you.

All right, it's getting late. We have work tomorrow.

Why don't we go home now?

- Cui Xi, bring me the bill. - Okay.

No need. I already paid.

Tian Yu, it's my birthday today. I can't let you do that.

Don't worry about it. Don't fight me on this.

Don't turn down his good intentions.

Thank you.

Wei Wei, why don't I give you guys a ride?

It's okay. Xie Xiao Fei can take us home.

Xie Xiao Fei? How are you taking them home?

You don't have to worry about that.

Watch how you talk to your older sisters.

It's okay. Get a designated driver to take you all home.

We'll go home on our own.

All right. Be careful.

Happy birthday.

Go on. Get some sleep. Goodnight.

- We're leaving. - Bye.

Bye.

I'm going home too.

Don't forget the sweet talk. Do a good job.

What did Tian Tian say to you?

Her?

She criticized me for not getting you a birthday gift.

Don't mind her.

Qin Tian Yu gave you a gift in front of everybody.

Am I letting him win?

Am I embarrassing you?

I really don't care about these things.

But I care about what your subordinates and friends will think of me.

Anyway, I'm just an embarrassment for you.

I really don't care about these things.

Stop blaming yourself.

I like you and I'm with you

because I think you are different from other people.

If you really want to make it up to me

then make yourself happier and stronger.

Stop thinking about those insignificant things, all right?

In that case, I'll give you a special present.

It's also a present that Qin Tian Yu would never be able to give you.

What is it?

Watch.

- What are you going to do? - I'm starting.

- There's one more. - There's more?

This one is even more exciting.

Aren't I handsome?

What are you guys doing?

Why are... Why are you giving me money?

I'm not a street performer!

They must think you did a good flip.

They gave you money, so just take it.

I didn't know street performers could make so much money.

Why don't I come perform every day?

Thank you.

This is the best birthday gift I've ever received.

Happy birthday.

I love you.

You're back so soon? You guys didn't do anything?

Who did you learn this behavior from at such a young age?

I'm already 18 years old. I know more than you do.

Yes, 18 years old. You're still growing, aren't you?

Go to sleep soon.

No, let's chat.

Talk.

What do you like about Xie Xiao Fei?

What do I like about him?

I've really never thought about it.

In the beginning, I really disliked him.

He had a devil-may-care attitude and was blindly confident.

However, after getting to know him better

I felt he had a lot of dreams and aspirations.

Tian Yu isn't bad either. How come you don't like him?

He's not the same.

I think Xiao Fei is like a teenager.

He has guts and courage.

He also has a rare and precious childish side to him.

For example, the birthday gift he gave to me was a few somersaults.

He's so childish.

Childish? Don't you think he's adorable?

There are many things that can't be measured by money.

You're still young. You don't understand.

Nauseating. You can have your sweet dreams. I'm going to sleep.

How did you know I'm here?

I don't just know you're staying here.

I also know Song Hao Jie threatened Luo Bin and wouldn't let him take you in.

You left the club to save him.

I have many sources.

It's so late. What did you come by for?

Delivery.

Eat.

Are you okay with living here?

It's so lonely living here by yourself.

Why don't you move to my house?

This place is fine.

It's okay. Luo Bin is afraid of Song Hao Jie, but I'm not.

He won't dare to cause trouble with me.

Xiao Fei?

What's wrong?

In the past, I thought I was the be-all and end-all.

Now I realize I was wrong.

I actually...

I actually can't do anything.

Do you think I would like someone who isn't capable of anything?

Am I that stupid?

In the past, I thought that if I were to leave X-Group...

I would be able to accomplish something big on my own.

I later realized I'm so immature.

After I left X-Group, I was left with nothing.

I have nothing! I can't do anything!

- That's not true. - You don't need to console me.

You really don't need to.

I'm really thankful for you and Luo Bin

for being by my side when I am at the lowest point of my life.

But guess what? Today is Tong Wei's birthday.

Qin Tian Yu gave her a birthday gift in front of everybody. What about me?

I could only watch.

I couldn't do anything.

I could only do somersaults to try to make her happy.

What is this?

Money from spectators. Would I have bothered with this money before?

I was given charity in front of the one I love! Can you believe it?

Xiao Fei.

I like you.

You are the one I like.

Just on that point alone...

you are an amazing person.

Chen Xi, don't be like this.

I'm sorry.

No need to apologize.

I'm used to it.

Take it.

This isn't charity.

A warrior without weapons has no chance to display his skills.

I'm sorry.

Take it.

Use it to make a comeback.

I'll get going now. Bye.

I need to return the card and car key to you.

[Zhou Qian]

Hello?

Director Zhou, I now have absolutely no connection to the 18 Secrets project.

Since this isn't about work, you must be seeing me for personal reasons.

Talking to a smart person like you really saves me a lot of energy.

I won't beat around the bush either.

Mr. Fei, please leave Tong Wei.

- Why? - Because you love her.

If you truly love her, you should help her

instead of ruining her, right?

Do you know your uncle, Xie Tian Cheng, is livid because Tong Wei is helping you?

If you two remain together

I'm guessing Tong Wei's career at CAEA will soon reach an end.

Despicable.

What's even more awful is that

when Tong Wei was hired, she signed a non-compete agreement.

If she resigns on her own

the agreement states she cannot take a similar job.

Think about it.

If a negotiation officer leaves this profession for two years

will she still be able to return?

To be honest, it's not because you are now down and out

that I object to the two of you being together.

Even when you were the sole heir to X-Group

I did not support your relationship.

There was only one reason for that.

Tong Wei's dream

shouldn't be destroyed by a man who suddenly shows up in her life.

Tong Wei is an exceptional woman.

She deserves a bigger stage.

I remember Tong Wei once told me

she wants to work at New York headquarters.

She wants to stand on a global stage

and take part in multinational negotiations.

Tong Wei helped you out so much.

Shouldn't you help her this once?

If you truly love her, you should help her.

Don't you think so?

Hello, the subscriber you dialed is powered off.

Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is powered off.

Hello, Tian Tian?

Xie Xiao Fei hasn't come looking for me.

He hasn't contacted me.

- Is this wine okay? - It's good.

Luo Bin.

You two can talk. I'll be going.

Where is Xie Xiao Fei?

Isn't he with you?

With me? He hasn't returned.

Returned?

He said he was living with you.

- What? Checked out? - Yes.

Did he say where he was going?

Sorry.

Xie Xiao Fei.

Hello, Tong Wei? Xie Xiao Fei really is missing.

That's the gist of it. Xie Xiao Fei has been staying at that inn.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

- He wouldn't let me! - He wouldn't let you so you--

Enough.

Don't worry about who is to blame for now.

I've already ordered people to search.

Try searching through whatever means you have as well.

We'll contact each other if anything comes up.

That's all we can do.

Tong Wei, do you think anything will happen to him?

If anything happens to him, you're to blame.

What are you getting so mean for?

Where has Xie Xiao Fei gone?

We can't file a case in this kind of situation.

According to what you've said

your friend no physical handicaps.

You also said he seemed normal when the taxi driver saw him last.

So, you should go home and wait.

I'll call other stations and ask around.

- But-- - Sorry, please go home and wait.

Thank you.

Hello, Shan Shan?

Why haven't you been picking up?

Don't ask. I just left the police station.

What? What's happened, Wei Wei?

We'll talk later.

That's it?

He's a big man. He won't get lost. You're making a fuss out of nothing.

But the taxi driver said he didn't have a cent on him.

He paid the taxi fare by giving over his phone.

He can't survive without money.

I'm really worried about him.

He'll learn how to survive by going hungry.

If he has no money, he has to earn it.

Physical labor pays several hundred yuan a day. He won't die.

I'm not in the mood to argue with you right now.

You don't need to worry about Xie Xiao Fei.

You should worry about yourself.

What do I have be worried about?

Are you really clueless or faking it?

I used to think I was the most foolish one at CAEA

giving up on being an elite professional to be with a man so much older than me.

But now, you're much more foolish than I am.

No wonder it's said women in love have an IQ of zero.

What's your point?

Let me ask you. Is X-Group still working with CAEA?

Who is in charge of X-Group now?

- Xiao Fei's uncle. - There you go.

X-Group and CAEA have a strategic partnership.

And you, as a key CAEA participant

are helping Xiao Fei find that Tang Mi Cai by every possible means

to take down his uncle.

You're treating X-Group as the enemy. They won't spare you for that.

Wei Wei, you're standing on the wrong side.

It's like this. I'm helping Xiao Fei because of our relationship.

I'm helping X-Group out of work obligations.

It's not one or the other.

That's what you think, but not what they think.

Someone will eventually force you to pick a side. What are you thinking?

That's enough of this.

I'm not in the mood to talk about this.

Tong Wei, is there news on Xiao Fei?

I've already reported it to the police but there's still no news.

When I find Xie Xiao Fei, I'm going to beat him up.

Where has he gone?

It's all my fault.

This wouldn't have happened if I paid more attention to him.

He was smiling and laughing so I thought he was fine.

In reality, he must been having a very hard time.

Do you think he'll do something crazy?

I don't think he'll go that far.

Are you sure? He's alone in a foreign land.

His family is such a mess.

- If anything happens-- - Stop talking.

All right.

Pretend I didn't say anything.

Xie Xiao Fei is so full of himself. Even if I die, he'd cling on to life.

Don't let your imagination run wild.

You're really going to break up with Tong Wei?

Why?

Because I don't want to drag her down.

Then does this mean I have a chance?

I'm sorry.

I came to see you to return these to you.

I won't take the car or the money.

I really do want to help you.

If you want to help me, then help me find Tang Mi Cai.

I will do what I can.

But take these for now.

If you keep insisting, we won't even be able to stay friends.

Thank you for helping me search.

If you keep thanking me, I'll call off the search.

I really don't know how to thank you.

You don't need to.

- What do you want? - What do we want?

Attack!

Xiao Fei!

Xiao Fei, be careful!

Stop!

Xiao Fei!

Let her go.

If you move a muscle, I'll cut her!

I told you to let her go.

Grab him!

- Xiao Fei! - Xiao Wei, teach him a lesson!

Yes!

Aren't you a real good fighter?

Fight! Hit back!

Qiao, you were great on the drums today.

You didn't sing too well today though.

Look over there.

It's him?

Hao, you know them?

Let's go help them.

Stop!

We've called the police. Get lost!

Let's go!

Xiao Fei! Xiao Fei!

Are you okay?

- It's you? - Yes. Get up.

Get up.

Give me your hand.

Xiao Fei, your nose is bleeding. I'll take you to the hospital.

Are you all right?

We often rehearse in this area.

If you run into any trouble, send me a message.

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Are you okay? Let me get the suitcase.

Are you okay?

Let me help you.

No, I got it.

Xiao Fei, don't you think what happened today was strange?

Why do you say that?

Those people clearly weren't after money.

I think they wanted something else.

I thought so too.

That's why I should find somewhere else to stay tomorrow.

Why?

Because I don't want to get you involved.

I'm not scared.

Listen.

Those people today were likely sent by Song Hao Jie to get back at me.

It's also possible they were sent by my uncle.

Eiither way, they're all after me.

I can't drag you into this.

If that's the case, that's even more reason I can't leave you.

Have you forgotten? You're my first friend.

How can I stand aside when my friend is in need?

No, Chen Xi--

If you continue, that means you don't see me as a friend.

All right, it's late. Get to sleep.

Sorry to trouble you today.

You can stay here at my place as long as you want. Goodnight.

[Sun Hao: Sleeping yet?]

I'm heading to sleep. We can talk tomorrow.

My Mr. Perfect is texting me!

I think I saw your brother just now.

What do you mean? My brother?

Why don't you come out to talk?

Okay.

Tian Tian, come sit.

So close to him? I'm going to lose my breath!

What did you mean when you said you saw my brother?

The guy who was talking with us about guitars.

Isn't he your brother?

- Xie Xiao Fei? He saw Xie Xiao Fei? - Tian Tian?

- Tian Tian? - Oh, yes, he is my brother.

Where did you see him?

I... He was in a bit of trouble. We helped him out.

He left with a woman who was with him.

Woman? How did she look?

I don't remember how she looked.

Let me think. She looked quite wealthy.

She seemed to really care about your brother.

That description doesn't sound like Tong Wei.

Where is he?

He took a taxi and left with the woman.

Xie Xiao Fei, you don't appreciate what you have!

Tian Tian? Are you all right?

I'm fine. The next time you see, help me keep a hold on him.

Then contact me immediately, okay?

Okay.

What happened between you two?

It's a long story.

All right.

It's pretty late now. Why don't I see you home?

No, it's okay. I have to go.

Hao, you made her come out so late at night. You're not seeing her home?

That's right.

I was turned down.

This must be the first time a girl has turned you down.

She has a boyfriend already.

Really?

It's the guy who was talking with us about guitars.

That's her boyfriend.

Tian Yu, don't say I don't help you.

Xie Xiao Fei seems to be missing.

Missing?

Yes, Tong Wei even reported it to the police.

It's that serious?

What happened to him?

I don't know.

Why are you concerned about that?

The reason I came here

was to tell you to hurry up and go after Wei Wei. Get it?

Tian Yu?

Shan Shan, thank you for your precious information.

What did you want to see me for?

Tong Wei has been searching for you everywhere.

She's going crazy, you know?

She's such a foolish woman.

I broke up with her

so I can stay away and not see her.

Why are you looking at me?

I've already broken up with Tong Wei.

Aren't you going to go see her?

It's a good opportunity.

Listen up, Xie Xiao Fei. I really like Tong Wei.

I've liked her for years.

Even if you point a gun at me, I won't give up on her.

- How touching. - Cut the crap.

Let me ask you this.

Why are you tormenting her?

I'm not tormenting her.

How do you explain this?

What can a few photos prove?

Tong Wei and I have nothing to be ashamed of.

Can you and Zhao Chen Xi dare say the same?

- I dare. - Okay.

Go see Tong Wei with me.

That's not necessary.

We've already broken up. Why see each other?

If you're going to break up, do it like a man and explain everything.

Tian Yu.

It's actually a good thing you came to see me today.

There's been something I've been wanting to ask you to help me with.

Take this to Tong Wei

and tell her that from now on

I'll be in Zhao Chen Xi's arms.

Tell her to stop bothering me.

What are you saying?

Why are you lying to her?

- I'm not lying to her. - Stop acting.

When you two were in the U.S.

you would turn your backs on the whole world to be together.

Now you're abandoning her because you have no money?

Do you think she would believe you?

It's because she won't believe me that I'm asking you for your help.

Do you understand?

Would you have the heart to watch the woman you love suffer with you?

So, please.

I'm asking you to make her hate me.

- Help me thank your father. - You're too polite, Auntie.

I'll bring you more when you finish these.

That'd be wonderful.

- Chen Xi. - How come you're here?

Oh, I'm helping Auntie translate some things.

Mom, you could've just asked me to translate.

Why did you trouble Yang Xiao?

To think you two went to business school together.

Yang Xiao's father is

a top anti-aging specialist in Switzerland.

He brought me the latest scientific literature in beauty.

Yang Xiao, I've known you for so many years.

I'm only learning today that your dad is a doctor.

These are the results of Yang Xiao's father's latest research.

Anti-aging pills.

He gave me a small 10 gram sample last time.

I tried them and felt an amazing change.

Now he's brought me so many.

Auntie, Chen Xi, I have work to do. I should get going now.

- See him out, Chen Xi. - No need, Auntie.

Chen Xi, I'm leaving.

Mom, I'm going upstairs.

Stop right there.

Who did you bring home last night?

A friend.

What kind of friend?

Mom, don't ask so many questions.

I'm not interested in your business.

But if you do anything that displeases your father

I have to step in.

Xie Xiao Fei is now the subject of gossip.

Others can't get away from him fast enough.

But you? You bring him home.

Hurry and tell him to leave.

Did Yang Xiao tell you?

He has your best interests in mind.

You like Xie Xiao Fei.

In the past, he was an appropriate match with our family

but things are different now.

He's now a stray dog. He's no longer worthy of you.

What age are we in to still be talking about appropriate matches?

With how large Ke Wan is now

does the chairman's daughter need to be sacrificed to expand the company?

Nobody is thinking of sacrificing you.

- Will you be happy with him? - Yes.

I predict you won't.

How is Yang Xiao not better than Xie Xiao Fei?

He may not be from a prominent family

but his parents are highly-educated and considered respectable.

You two were also school classmates and know each other well.

Most importantly, he likes you so much.

You will be very happy.

Marrying into an influential family isn't necessarily a good thing.

Just take me for example.

I haven't had many happy days in over 20 years.

I don't want you to end up the same as me.

Okay, I'm tired. I want to rest.
