I think that our trump card is the project led by Professor Wang.

How is it going? Is everything okay?

The R&D department is working overtime every day.

But we need a bit more time

to overcome a technical obstacle.

It will be too late if we do all the development ourselves.

Alpha has the patent to remedy the obstacle.

I know.

You remember that the patent

belongs to Dai Zhong now, right?

It'll be harder to get the patent from them

than to develop it ourselves.

Indeed.

Do not worry about it.

Let's take a walk.

Let’s go.

-Hello. -Hi, Wen Nuan.

Mr. Gao...

are you feeling better?

I feel much better, thanks.

Anything I can do for you?

There is one thing.

Do you know that Professor Wang’s project is missing a patent?

Yes, I know. We’re trying to collaborate with Xing He Tech

to see if it's possible to buy the patent from them.

As far as I know,

there is a foreign company that has a more mature technology.

And you are familiar with that company.

Are you referring to Alpha?

Correct.

Alpha has now been acquired by Dai Zhong.

That means that Dai Zhong has the technology now.

If Dai Zhong is willing to sell it,

Shallow Cosmos will survive.

I got it. Thank you.

Okay. Bye.

Wait a minute.

How did you do your work as the company's Financial Controller?

How did you make investment decisions?

This company had financial problems six months ago.

You just took the company's money and invested in them.

Now you see,

their boss escaped with the money. Will you take responsibility for this?

How is that possible?

We ran the risk assessment.

The news has been spread across the internet, newspapers.

What can you say

when you let go of things

you are supposed to be responsible for?

You got your position because of nepotism.

No wonder you are incapable of doing your job.

Mr. Pan, this isn’t all Director's responsibility.

Are you responsible for the risk assessment for the project?

Yes or no?

As the company's Financial Controller

you are supposed to be responsible for all investment decisions.

Make wise investment decisions.

Wen Rou,

if you can do it, do it.

If you can’t,

then get your stuff and leave.

Mr. Pan, don't get angry.

Whether Wen Rou is capable of her work or not, it's not only your decision.

Don't draw any conclusions

before the situation is clear, okay?

Linlu...

she caused the company a huge loss.

Will you still take it personally

and cover for her as you used to do?

You need to fire her immediately!

You are the shareholder.

But you don’t have the right

to make the decision directly or indirectly

in terms of the company's operation.

You do not have the right to decide on personnel either.

You should have known that,

right?

Calm down.

Linlu...

I can’t do anything right now.

But it doesn’t mean I won't do anything in the future.

Here you are.

Thank you.

Are you still unhappy?

I’m sorry, Linlu.

Investment itself is risky. Who doesn't know that?

You cannot always win.

You did all this to help me.

I will explain everything to the shareholders.

I need to take responsibility for this.

If Pan Weining will not let it go, let me know.

Calm down.

Don’t think too much. Let me put it this way.

You are an excellent staff member. I need you to be here.

You are also my good friend of many years.

I will not let you go.

If I can't protect you,

I won’t be able to forgive myself.

Do you get my point?

But if you break up with Pan Weining now,

it will not be good for you.

Oh, my dear lady.

I broke up with him long time ago.

Even if I did not break up with him,

do you think he would leave me alone? He wouldn't.

So, let's forget about it.

Don’t think too much about it.

Let's take it as a lesson.

I need you, my pretty lady,

to be here, fighting for Dai Zhong.

All right.

I will do whatever I can to protect Dai Zhong for you.

Okay, thank you.

Director...

I am sorry.

How can they blame you?

You just started working here and you lack experience.

It's my fault.

I was so eager to get it done that I did not run the assessment again.

-I should take the responsibility. -Director, I...

I don't blame you. It’s all my fault.

If the company needs to punish somebody, I will take fall for it.

As I said, it’s not your fault.

You’re still young.

Making mistakes is unavoidable.

Okay, don’t think about too much. Go back to work.

Liu Rui.

I’ll do it.

Are you worried about Director?

Director got scolded today.

I have never seen her like that.

Please comfort her.

Liu Rui,

thanks for your cooperation. You did excellent work.

You just did

a pretty good job.

Your family will be very proud of you.

This time, you can prove to them

that you are definitely not a little boy relying on his family.

Mr. Pan...

I don’t know if it’s right or wrong

to do it this way.

I promised to help you deal with Zhu Linlu.

-But it's getting more and more... -Do you regret it now?

No.

If it wasn't for you,

my family would have gone bankrupt.

I will help you

with whatever you want to achieve.

Liu Rui, do you feel bad for Wen Rou?

Don’t worry...

she won’t be part of the plan.

Okay.

Okay.

You may like Wen Rou very much.

However, once she finds out about everything,

she won’t trust you anymore.

Liu Rui...

men should be career-minded. Do you understand?

My eyes must have deceived me.

Mr. Pan is indeed a genius in the business world.

No wonder Mr. Qu won't meet me

even though I made many appointments with him.

It was me.

So what?

I've waited for this day for so long.

I don’t know why you hate me so much,

but let me tell you something.

You won’t see the day you are expecting.

Zhan Nanxian, how are you still able to be so calm?

Don't you know how Shallow Cosmos is doing now?

Shallow Cosmos will be over

sooner or later,

no matter what.

And...

you should know that...

you’re nothing.

Then I will tell you something as well.

I don’t care at all

who you think I am.

Be careful what you do from now on.

I will be watching you.

Don’t disappoint me, okay?

Hey, stop drinking.

I’m fine. I am not drunk.

I know you’re upset because of Dai Zhong,

but you can’t torment yourself like this.

Darling...

have you ever thought of leaving Dai Zhong?

I know that you and Mr. Zhu are good friends.

But he wouldn’t want his good friend to get hurt, right?

No. What do you mean?

I'm just thinking,

with your abilities,

you could get a good job anywhere.

Why do you have to suffer by staying in Dai Zhong?

I won’t leave Dai Zhong.

Linlu and I have been friends for years.

I won't leave Dai Zhong in this situation.

Besides, I’m partly responsible

for Dai Zhong’s problems now.

How can I leave?

But, you won’t be able to change anything even if you stay.

What do you mean?

That's not the end of the story.

It sounds like you are sure Linlu is gonna lose.

I...

I am just thinking about Mr. Pan.

He is so aggressive.

He is not easy to deal with.

Pan Weining...

Indeed, we underestimated him.

Dai Zhong's situation is a bit complicated.

If you want to quit, I won’t object.

I'm not thinking about that at all. I’m not saying that I’m running away.

I didn’t say that.

Staying at Dai Zhong is my personal decision.

I am not in the position to request you to stay and to face all that chaos.

You can do whatever you want.

I won’t say anything.

Don’t worry.

I won’t leave you.

Wherever you go, I’ll go with you.

Can I drink a little bit?

Since you are here, I know I will be good.

Okay.

Hey,

I’m so happy.

I wish we could be like this forever.

All those annoying things, please, just go away!

If I did something wrong,

would you forgive me?

What did you say?

Nothing, I said to hold me tight.

Let’s go.

Wen Rou, I’m sorry.

I am the one causing all those problems.

I’ll make it up to you.

Nuan.

Wow.

Sis?

-What happened? -I’m back.

-Why did you drink so much? -Wait, I will take off your shoes.

I only drank a little bit.

You always say a little bit.

It's okay now.

Okay.

-Thank you. -It’s nothing.

She’s drunk.

Why did she drink so much?

She’s not feeling good tonight. Something went wrong, so she drank a lot.

You’re Liu Rui, right?

Right, I’m Liu Rui.

I heard about you from my sister.

Thank you.

It’s okay. You are welcome. It's my pleasure.

Please take good care of her tonight.

She's upset.

I will.

DAI ZHONG TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.

Now the most important thing is to run a stock buy-back program.

The more the better. I have asked my friends to keep an eye on it.

If there is any stock circulation of Dai Zhong,

they will inform us.

I appreciate your hard work.

Another question is, where do we get money from?

I have mentioned it to them too.

They might help us

to raise money in your name.

I am also thinking

we could deter those directors

by improving our investment achievement.

If we want to make a radical change in a short time,

we need to rely on the patent from Alpha.

Are you planning to sell the patent we got from Alpha?

We paid tremendous money for that patent

because we valued its technical strength.

If you sell it now,

aren't you gonna weaken our position in the field?

Take it easy. I will not take that step until I really have to.

SHANGHAI GENERAL HOSPITAL

Why have you been coming here so frequently?

-Sounds like I'm gonna die soon. -What a nonsense!

You did not follow the doctor's instructions

to take care of yourself.

I am fine.

It's just you guys, forcing me to do all kinds of check-ups.

I will get ill if you keep having doctors check on me.

I'll tell you something. From now on you must take good care of yourself.

You are fine? Then why are you spitting blood?

It's simply gastric bleeding.

Show me someone who works in marketing

and doesn't have stomach problems?

I am fine.

-Come in. -Are you the patient's family member?

-Yes. -Can you come with me?

Okay, go.

Hello, Doctor. I’m Gao Fang's family member.

I asked you here

to tell you something.

Doctor, please be honest with me.

What is wrong with him?

The patient’s situation is not promising.

We need to do more check-ups.

You and other family members need to be prepared for the result.

There is a possibility that he's got stomach cancer.

No, Doctor, there must be some misunderstanding.

He is so young. How can he get stomach cancer?

Calm down, please. I understand how you feel.

Nobody want their beloved ones to get cancer.

As a doctor,

I have to tell you the truth.

The most important thing right now

is to have the patient stay in good mood to be ready for next round of check-ups.

I got it.

What happened?

Gao Fang may have stomach cancer.

How is that possible?

He will be fine, right?

He will be fine.

He will definitely be fine.

Mom, you’re here.

You’re home. Come here. Get some food.

Mom, it’s been a long time since you made this much delicious food for me.

It’s my fault.

Indeed, I have neglected you these years.

No, there is nothing wrong with you.

I understand you.

Okay, do not be just sitting there. Take a bite.

Check if my cooking skills have degraded.

It’s still delicious as before.

Try the red braised beef belly.

The braised beef belly used to be your father's favorite.

But I worried about his high cholesterol.

I only allowed him to eat three pieces every time.

He would always complain to me,

saying that I was torturing his stomach.

I actually knew that...

he'd been eating a few more pieces behind my back.

What a pity...

He won’t be able to eat any of them anymore.

If I’d known that things were going to be like this,

I wouldn't have told him not to eat too much

of his favorite red braised beef belly.

Nanxian...

I hope you will not do things that you’ll later regret.

There are times, even if you want to make up for it,

the god will not give you any more chances.

I got it.

Eat something, Mom.

Here you are, take this.

Why are you here?

Why didn’t you tell me?

What did I not tell you?

About your illness!

Isn’t it just a stomach illness?

Don’t worry. I’m fine.

No. What do you mean, you’re fine, Gao?

Do you know how seriously ill you are?

Even now you won't tell me? Do you still consider me as a brother?

Results haven't come back yet.

Don’t worry too much.

I think it's all Nanxian’s fault.

If he hadn't acted on his own,

the company wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.

You wouldn't have gotten ill like this...

Enough, Guan Ti.

Don’t say that ever again.

I won’t force you to return to Shallow Cosmos.

You can only go back there if you want to.

The three of us...

went through so many difficult times. You know that.

I hope you can stop misunderstanding Nanxian.

Okay. Promise me, Gao.

I'm-- I’m begging you.

You... will live well. Cure the disease, okay?

-Don’t bother with anything else. -Okay.

The results aren’t back yet.

Stop making it a heart-breaking goodbye, okay?

You still owe me a couple of red wines. Don’t forget that.

Gao Fang.

Here I am.

Hey, be a man.

Quit being so effeminate.

I’m going now.

Are not you leaving?

I’ll be done soon.

Wen Nuan is waiting for us.

Nuan is waiting for us?

Where is she?

Don’t you know that she’s treating us today? Did she not tell you?

How come she didn’t tell me?

She might have thought that I would tell you.

-It’s almost time. Hurry up! -Okay.

I’ll order this bottle of red wine first.

Okay.

Nuan...

-have you been waiting a long time? -It's okay.

Why didn’t you tell me that we were eating out?

You were drunk yesterday. How could I tell you?

Hey.

You two met each other yesterday

but I still need to make an official introduction. Liu Rui,

this is my little sister, Nuan.

-Hello. -Hello.

It's not easy to get along with my sis.

I am okay. It’s fine.

What do you guys want to order?

Let me take a look.

Maybe you can order?

Okay.

You came from Dai Zhong?

That’s right.

Dai Zhong is now a mess because of Pan Weining.

I don’t know what will happen to Dai Zhong if this continues.

How about Shallow Cosmos?

The situation is not good either.

Nobody could have foreseen

that Dai Zhong and Shallow Cosmos would have problems at the same time.

Waiter!

Sister.

Linlu needs funds, am I right?

Right.

I’m thinking of ways to get him funds.

Shallow Cosmos lacks a technology.

This technology is

at Dai Zhong.

You don't mean what I think you mean.

Indeed, that's what I mean.

The patent that Shallow Cosmos needs is at Dai Zhong.

The funding that Dai Zhong needs, is at Shallow Cosmos.

Why can’t those two companies work together?

Zhan Nanxian and Zhu Linlu?

How could the two of them work together?

Why isn't it possible?

Liu Rui.

Tell me, what is the biggest topic you’ve ever heard

about Shallow Cosmos and Dai Zhong since you started working?

Arch rivals?

-Old enemies? -See?

Even he knows it. How come you don't know about it?

It isn’t the right time to repeat this old topic.

Both of them are grown-up now.

"Both of them"?

How can you think of them as ordinary people?

Impossible.

Have you asked him already?

I gave it much thought yesterday.

I’ve thought of a resolution

for the bottleneck in Professor Wang’s project.

Go on.

We can check if Dai Zhong is interested in collaborating with us.

Look, Dai Zhong has the most advanced technology that we need.

Once the research is completed,

the patent will get its business value as well.

If the two parties can work together, it is the best deal.

-Both parties will win. -No.

Why not?

Yi Zhong plans to topple both Dai Zhong and Shallow Cosmos.

Why can’t we work together,

and topple Yi Zhong?

Think about it:

Dai Zhong sued us

because they lost Professor Wang when they bought Alpha.

Even if we say that we’re innocent,

what we are developing now

has nothing to do with the patent that Dai Zhong has.

Let me put it this way,

even if they believe it,

what will others say?

I don’t want to do things that will bring me more problems.

If we had a lot of time,

we could definitely work out a solution for Professor Wang’s project.

However, we do not have much time.

Mr. Qu keeps avoiding us.

Dai Zhong is our only way out.

You know all the pros and cons better I do. Am I right?

Think it over, okay?

I’ve evaluated yours and your father's assets

and did some more research.

To slowly increase the Dai Zhong shares that we have,

you need to look for allies. They can support you at the board meeting.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT - JUNE

Oh, right.

This list includes people who started the company with my father.

I hope that they can take their friendship with my father into consideration

and help me to take control of the company’s majority shares.

Just leave it to me.

I’ll handle all that for you under the table.

Wen Rou...

to meet a friend like you in my lifetime...

To be honest, I really...

I feel that it’s my greatest blessing.

I will keep those words deep in my heart.

Don’t rush to thinking too highly of me.

I’m a person who doesn’t work hard for nothing.

Once you’ve stabilized your position and reached the top,

I’m going to let you repay me double.

It’s not easy to have a kind and helpful person.

I didn't expect you to be money-minded.

Oh, I cannot believe it...

NUAN

Nuan?

Answer it.

Hello, Nuan.

Linlu...

do you have some time tonight?

I... want to treat you to a meal.

I have time. Er... See you tonight then.

See you tonight.

Okay, I’m hanging up. Bye-bye.

Why is Nuan treating me to a meal?

Just go and you’ll know.

I’m going now.

Okay.

Here you are.

Okay, thank you.

-You’re welcome. -Thanks.

Linlu, I came to see you today

because I have a proposal that I want you to consider.

I see.

The way you’re speaking...

Have you changed your mind?

Don’t... It’s like this.

We’ve been friends for a long time, right?

Although I know very well

that I’m the dream man for a lot of young girls,

you should still have warned me that you were going to confess,

so I could prepare for it.

Just maintain your Casanova image.

Okay.

-I came to see you for official matters. -Say it.

Shallow Cosmos is now in a perilous situation.

Dai Zhong is experiencing the same.

All because of Pan Weining.

But have you two thought about

-who is the enemy of the enemy? -The bigger enemy.

It’s a friend.

If you can collaborate with Shallow Cosmos,

you two surely can survive this crisis together.

You’re done speaking?

You asked me to come here just to say that?

Although...

my relationship with Zhan Nanxian hasn’t reached an extremely hostile stage,

letting Shallow Cosmos and Dai Zhong work together

still seems impossible.

I even thought that you invited me over today to say to me the words

that I wanted to hear.

I never thought it was still about Zhan Nanxian.

It's not only for him. I’m also doing this for you.

-Okay, for me too. -Think about it.

If you survive this crisis you can regain control of Dai Zhong.

Zhan Nanxian told you to say that? Did he agree with it?

Judging by your reaction, I’m sure that he didn’t agree.

You were unable to convince him so you came to convince me, right?

He’s a very stubborn person. He thinks that you will never agree.

On that subject, he understands me very well.

To be honest...

I think the solution you are suggesting is actually not a bad idea.

However...

even if the company's interest is quite important to me, it isn’t that simple.

-What are you saying? -Hmm...

How will you repay me, if I agree to your request?

You think I’ll devote my life to you?

How about this? I’ll help you to find a good lady

to be your girlfriend. Is that okay now?

Zhu Linlu, I’m talking about serious matters

and you keep joking with me?

Thanks. Cheers!

Can you seriously consider it?

Okay, I will think about it.

Hello, is this Ms. Feng Juan?

Hello, is this Mr. Zhang Tianhui?

Hello, is this Mr. Li? Hello, I’m Dai Zhong's Director, Wen Rou.

Director, Director...

are you going out?

Yes. My workload now is almost the same as it was in sales.

What's keeping you so busy lately?

I’ve asked you out several times, but you keep ignoring me.

How about when I'm free in a couple of days,

I'll allow you to treat me to a nice meal to make it up to you?

My director has given orders,

how can I say no to that?

I’m just worried about your health.

We're about to be unemployed, how are you still so busy?
