Original subtitles

Wen Nuan, how was the meal just now?

It's the weekend tomorrow. I'll take you horseback riding, okay?

We're here.

Come in.

Because of Zhu Linlu, you and Wen Nuan didn't meet in England

Oh.

Can you imagine the scene and how I felt at that moment?

I felt like such a douche bag.

Before I went there, I was full of hope. I thought...

this might be the turning point of our relationship.

But I never thought someone else would already be by her side.

Anyone would have misunderstood the situation.

But seven years has passed. You and Wen Nuan are grown up now.

And you know what she went through after all these years.

I think you should go to England now and see her.

It's no use.

Think about it.

She left without saying a word to me and Wen Rou.

She cut contact with everyone. That means she's thought this through.

In fact, what Wen Rou said was right.

In Wen Nuan's mind, there's this ridge she can never cross.

It's her father and my father.

No one can help her with what happened.

She can only rely on herself.

You're right. If you force it, it may blow up in your face.

And I believe no matter where Wen Nuan goes, you will find her again.

What's wrong?

-Your stomach doesn't feel well? -Yes, a bit of a stomachache.

It's okay, my diet has probably not been regular lately.

You haven't been getting enough sleep.

It's all my fault.

I'm sorry, bro.

It's okay.

You said there's nothing else you want to do besides work. Same for me.

If I'm not busy, I don't know what to do.

By the way, I want to talk to you about some serious business.

There's no turning back on Guan Ti's resignation.

Someone needs to fill his vacant position.

-I think... -My opinion is:

R&D is a critical department in our company.

It's not like just anyone can replace him.

I'm worried about it.

So.

I'll take it myself.

You want to save the position and wait for him to return?

This chump.

Let him make a living out there. He won't know who's his real bro until he's beaten.

No matter how times change,

you, me and him, our friendship,

will never change.

We created a simple environment for him to do R&D before.

You took a lot of pressure off of him.

You won't understand a lot of things if you don't go through them yourself.

I hope he can understand.

Okay, get on with your work, I'm out.

Take some meds.

You too, take care.

Okay.

I'll wait for you to come back.

Mr. Gao, there's a document I need you to sign.

Here.

Mr. Gao, you don't look well.

I'm okay.

All right.

You sure you don't want to go to the hospital?

It's okay, get back to work.

Come in.

Linlu.

What's up?

Bad news.

What's wrong?

Zhu Yi and Zhu Linghong sold their shares.

They raised the money by pledging their shares for a loan.

What?

They are the second biggest shareholder when their shares are added up.

ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT

Did you sell your shares and Zhu Linghong's?

Was there another way?

If you hadn't cornered us, would we have sold our shares?

I'm not fighting about this now. Tell me, who did you sell the shares to?

I don't know.

Have you considered if the guy that bought your shares has more Dai Zhong shares,

Dai Zhong will now change hands. Did you consider that?

I-- I don’t know. One of my intermediaries handled it.

It's all bullshit.

Don't be mad.

What are we going to do next?

Go find out who they sold the shares to.

Okay.

Here.

Open up.

We rarely get to go on dates, can you focus?

This lunch is different. There have been abnormalities with Dai Zhong's stocks.

I got a tip, someone selling Dai Zhong's shares will be meeting his buyer here.

What's wrong?

You look so sneaky.

-No I'm not. -Could it be

that you are the buyer?

I wish I were that buyer.

Then, I could just give you this instead of you being worried sick.

Here, try this.

Let's sit over there.

Pan Weining?

Mr. Pan has a good relationship with Mr. Zhu, doesn't he? Can't be him, right?

There are no real friends in the business world.

What are you planning to do?

I need to hurry back and tell Linlu so he can prepare.

Feeling better?

Nanxian, how are you?

I miss you so much.

Wen Nuan, how are you?

I really miss you.

Sis, sorry, is this a good time?

Nuan, you finally called me. How are you in England?

I've got a vacation coming up next month, I'll come visit you in England.

We haven't gone out together in such a long time.

We should use the time and travel to a few countries, what do you think?

Sis, don't worry, I'm fine. I'm calling to ask you something.

What's up?

I read in the newspaper that Shallow Cosmos is in crisis.

Is it true that some of the senior management has already left the company?

How's Shallow Cosmos now? How's Nanxian?

They made it a big deal to attract people's attention.

Shallow Cosmos did run into some trouble.

But it's not that serious, don't worry.

The newspaper says Dai Zhong sued Shallow Cosmos

because they got the two pages of the contract signed by Professor Wang.

But where did Linlu get those two pages?

Zhan Nanxian lost the lawsuit because he was wrong.

Nuan, don't worry too much about what's happening here.

Wait until I'm free next month, I'll come be with you in England, okay?

Okay, bye-bye.

NANXIAN

Our performance in the last quarter is not ideal.

I hope everyone...

has really spent some time thinking about what the problem is.

And has come up with a solution.

Dai Zhong doesn't belong to anyone.

It belongs to all the employees and shareholders.

So I hope we can all work together. Rather than uniting with an outsider,

which would jeopardize company interests.

Do I make myself clear?

Linlu.

You weren't talking about me, were you?

Mr. Pan is a good friend of Dai Zhong.

Uh?

But this is an internal meeting.

Please leave.

Just now you said

Dai Zhong doesn't belong to anyone.

But it belongs to all shareholders and employees.

If that's indeed the case,

I kind of have to attend this meeting.

-Mr. Pan is looking for a part-time job. -No.

You can be the manager of Dai Zhong. I'll just settle and be a shareholder.

My share is not much,

but it's enough for me to say a few words in this meeting.

You bought these isolated small holdings as if they were entry tickets.

What?

Do you think you can take control of Dai Zhong so easily?

Linlu, you misunderstood me.

The guy who sold me the shares, he's not present here today.

But, since I am Dai Zhong's second biggest shareholder,

I don't think there's a problem.

You bought shares from my uncle and cousin. Why did you do that?

I'm doing you a favor.

They owed money out there.

It's was certain that they would sell the shares.

There's an old saying, "Keep the goodies within the family."

It's better that I bought them than if someone else did.

Normally we can joke around, but I'm very aware of what kind of person you are.

You just forced your brother to step down.

Now you are intervening in Dai Zhong's internal affairs.

Your ambition may be expanding too fast.

Linlu.

Since you've made it all clear, I'll be honest with you.

Whether it's Dai Zhong or Yi Zhong. They're all my objectives.

I hope in the future, it won't be a life or death struggle.

It should be a win-win or multi-win situation.

With every step, I'm heading towards that direction.

Do you take me for a friend?

Of course I take you for a friend.

I like becoming friends with smart people.

It's pleasant to work together and it takes less time to communicate.

I'm more than happy to be a hands-off boss.

But Linlu,

if you don't treat me as your brother,

then I'll be forced to make choices that are in my best interest.

Harsh words, but they're true.

There are two kinds of people in this world.

Winners and losers.

You should know this since you have competed with Zhan Nanxian for so long.

I hope we can form a strong alliance in the future.

Auntie Li

I've decided to go back.

Thank you.

Nuan.

Sis.

You're really back.

I was worried sick.

I'm back.

Sis, I'm sorry that I worried you.

It's okay, but don't let it happen again.

Otherwise, I'll smash you.

-I won't. -Okay.

Sit down.

Let me have a look, you've lost weight.

You gained weight. Life must have been good while I was gone.

Okay, just kidding.

-Sis. -Yeah?

I...

I remember everything.

Nuan.

What has passed stays in the past. Let it go.

What's in the past will never go away.

But I chose to come back this time to cherish the present.

I had no idea that I'd forgotten something so important.

Back then,

if it wasn't for my stubbornness,

this wouldn't have happened to Dad and Uncle Zhan.

And you wouldn't have had to...

It's all my fault.

And while I'd forgotten about all of this,

you had to endure it all by yourself all these years.

-Sis, I'm sorry. -Don't apologize anymore.

This...

This was because I was useless back then.

Dad and Uncle Zhan, that was an accident.

It's not your fault, don't think like that.

You're still worried about me.

I came back this time to fix it.

I can work harder in the future to make up for all of this.

It's so good that you can think this way, seems your England trip was worthwhile.

Nuan.

From now on, we will face everything together.

Sis will always be by your side.

What's that smell?

I'm still cooking!

Holy crap!

Your beef brisket is turning into burnt beef.

Sis.

What are you doing this late at night?

Sis.

Ever since Dad left,

we haven't sat like this once.

Yeah.

Do you remember when you were little,

Dad always took us here for the swing.

At that time,

we were so happy.

Once...

we said we should switch with him.

In the end, we pushed too hard, bang, we pushed him on the floor.

I miss Dad so much.

I miss him too.

Dad.

Nuan and I are good now.

You can rest in peace now.

Mr. Zhan,

when Shallow Cosmos and Yi Zhong signed the contract, there was a clause.

If Shallow Cosmos is ever involved in any intellectual property disputes

Yi Zhong can unconditionally void the contract unilaterally.

I'm really sorry that I have to do it this way.

But it was in the interest of Yi Zhong.

I signed this contract with your brother.

It's normal that you question the risk factor of this contract now.

Yes.

Times are different. My brother was in charge at that time.

But now I'm in charge at Yi Zhong.

So spending all the effort stealing Guan Ti away,

it was not to support him in building his business.

Instead you're using him

to complete the upgrade of the product chain of your company.

Am I right?

Yes, you were always the incisive one. But it's a pity.

It's too late.

Mr. Pan.

Let me tell you something,

You won't know who wins the prize until the end.

I'm taking this.

-Hurry and deal with it. -Okay.

You look terrible today.

It's okay, I probably didn't sleep well.

Let's have the meeting.

-Mr. Gao. -Gao Fang.

Gao Fang?

-Gao Fang. -What happened?

-Call an ambulance, hurry. -Okay.

-Watch out. -Lift him up.

Pan Weining is the second biggest shareholder in Dai Zhong.

He's got the small shareholders' support.

If he wants to flip Dai Zhong in his favor, it's not impossible.

We have to figure out a way to deal with him.

Watching out for this, watching out for that.

Who would have thought the one who stabbed us in the back was our friend.

In fact, we should have thought about this when Pan Weining

made a move on his brother. We should have watched out for him.

But I trusted him too much. That's why he sneaked through the loophole.

Then I thought, we've been fighting Shallow Cosmos for so many years.

He was the one behind a lot of things.

When a praying mantis catches a cicada, an oriole follows.

Incredible move.

He's scheming too much.

He looks like a playboy. Who'd have thought he'd have done so much.

He stole Guan Ti from Shallow Cosmos. And acquired a part of Dai Zhong's shares.

He's very ambitious.

Pan Weining, I don't care what he does.

I won't let him go if he does anything unfavorable to Dai Zhong.

Right, you have me too. I'll help you to stop him.

Thank you.

For what?

You've always helped Nuan so much. I can't thank you enough.

By the way.

Nuan, she's back.

She's back? When did she get back?

Last night when I got home, she was already there.

And she already knows

you won the lawsuit against Shallow Cosmos

because of the two page contract she carelessly brought home.

Linlu, you should talk to her about this when you get a chance.

I can't hide this from her forever. I thought about apologizing to her.

But the problem is, she firmly told me that we can never be together.

To be honest, I don't know how to face her.

Regardless, you've been friends for so many years.

Are you guys never going to see each other again?

Maybe after a while.

Move, out of the way.

Excuse me, stay outside please.

Doc, what's the situation?

The patient's stomach is bleeding badly.

We need to admit him now and keep him under observation.

That's impossible that his stomach is bleeding badly. He's quite fit normally.

He never said he had a stomach illness.

This may be caused by stress and a fast-paced lifestyle.

Judging by previous examinations, the patient's health has been in decline.

However, we need to examine further to determine the details.

-Hurry and go sort out the admission. -Okay.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

Hello Mr. Zhan.

Wen Nuan?

-Xiaodai. -It really is you.

-Long time no see. -I thought I made a mistake.

You're really back. That's great.

Are you coming back to work at Shallow Cosmos?

I-- I'm just visiting.

It would be good if you could come back. I pray every day for you to come back.

Xiaodai.

-Did you get off work? -Yep, just finished.

Are you free later? If you are, let's go have dinner together.

Sure, haven't seen you for so long, Wen Nuan.

Let's go eat now.

-How are you? -I'm good.

You're finally back.

Wen Nuan, you know, after Shallow Cosmos lost the lawsuit to Dai Zhong,

the company went through a dramatic change.

A lot of companies won't partner with us.

Also, a lot of employees left.

Even Mr. Guan left.

Mr. Guan resigned?

How could this happen.

The company treats us well, for them to leave at this time is very disloyal.

So now, Mr. Zhan and Mr. Gao are extremely busy.

Every day they're overworked, Mr. Gao is even sick.

Mr. Gao is sick?

Now, Mr. Zhan is taking care of all the work for the company.

I feel so useless.

I don't know anything, and I can't help Mr. Zhan without making a mess.

If you can come back and help us, that would be great.

Will you consider it?

Xiaodai, no need to rush.

-It's not the right time for it yet. -Then when is the right time?

I've got my own plans.

Also, Xiaodai, don't let Mr. Zhan know that you saw me today.

Why? Mr. Zhan really wants you back with the company.

He mistook me for you the other day at the office.

Wen Nuan, to be honest, Mr. Zhan would be the happiest person if you came back.

Nuan.

Yep.

-Sis. -What did you do today by yourself?

I went to Shallow Cosmos.

Did you see Zhan Nanxian?

Yes.

I saw him from a distance. He looked so pale.

So you know all about Shallow Cosmos's current situation.

I heard it all from Xiaodai.

Now, Shallow Cosmos isn't the only one with problems. Dai Zhong's in trouble too.

Linlu and Zhan Nanxian are both in deep trouble.

Dai Zhong is in trouble? What happened?

Pan Weining secretly acquired a lot of Dai Zhong's shares.

He suddenly became Dai Zhong's second biggest shareholder.

Linlu's position at Dai Zhong hangs by a thread.

Pan Weining?

What about Linlu?

Linlu has seen quite a lot on the battlefield of business.

I don't believe he'll let Pan Weining make a mess so easily.

Plus, he and Zhan Nanxian are not people who surrender easily.

The boat will turn when it reaches the dock.

We don't need to worry too much.

I can't do much to help Linlu at the moment.

But with Nanxian, I'm not that worried.

Why?

Sis, do you remember Dad used to have a student called Leo.
