[Master Of My Own]

[Episode 27]

And there's a bunch of investors.

What exactly is going on?

Please calm down, everyone.

Mr. Lu has a family emergency.

Please be understanding.

We know what Mr. Lu is going through.

My company is also my life.

My company is going under.

Will anyone understand me?

Yes, who's going to pity us?

I understand.

I've informed Mr. Lu about this.

It will be resolved soon, okay?

We've heard about Lu Tianxing.

What worries me

is that the investment money

would be used on something else.

That's right.

You can rest assured of that.

Mr. Lu is not that kind of person.

He never mixes professional
and personal matters.

Then why is he avoiding us?

Yes, where is he?

He isn't avoiding you.

He's up to his neck in problems.

There's only so much he can handle.

Sirs, please calm down.

Have some tea.

I will settle the matters one by one.

Please rest assured.

Back then, so many people

were scrambling to invest in my company.

I trusted Lu Jiming

and so I chose to work with him.

Now, look at what happened?

Right.

Xiaoyang.

Is Mr. Ren able to keep the boat afloat?

Several company bosses and employers

came to get answers from Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu hasn't come to the office in days.

We have no idea what the situation is.

Are we really in trouble?

Zhou from the Risk Control Department

has already resigned.

Those in risk management have keen senses.

He must have seen signs of trouble.

Mr. Liu, I've filled in the resignation form.

Come with me.

Another one is quitting.

We should look for a way out too.

Mr. Lu is leaving us to perish.

Don't say that.

Mr. Lu isn't irresponsible like that.

Go do your work.

Ms. Xu, Mr. Zeng.

Those men are here to get answers from Mr. Lu.

We don't know what else to do.

Don't fret, Xiaoyang.

We'll take a look.

Leave it to us.

Everyone, please quiet down.

Mr. Ren.

Please quiet down.

We are here to solve the problem.

Alright.

Give us a solution.

Tell us how you'll solve it.

Quiet down!

What's the solution?

Quiet!

We are Mr. Lu's friends

and also his strategic partners.

Whatever questions you have,

you can direct them to us.

I'll go and get the legal
and financial representatives.

We'll figure something out.

Take care, sirs.

Alright.

Thanks for your understanding.

Thank you for understanding.

We will be waiting for an update.

Let's go.

Mr. Zeng, Ms. Xu, thank you so much.

It's no problem. We're family.

You must be thirsty.

Let me get you some drinks.

It's fine, Xiaoyang.

You do your work.

Go on.

[Joint Capital]

Mingming.

I've heard.

Thanks to you two.

No need to thank us.

How is your dad?

I'll visit him at the hospital.

You guys chat.

Go ahead.

What is your plan?

Judging from the current situation,

the company is struggling.

Mr. Lu, you're back.

Are you thirsty or hungry?

I'll prepare food and drinks.

I'm good.

A delivery.

How much more money do you need?

Tiantian and I will think of something

to get the money.

Okay?

Don't.

I don't want to trouble you two even more.

What are you saying?

We've been friends for ages.

You've been looking after Tiantian and me.

Now that you're in a pickle,

I can't just sit by idly.

We're brothers, aren't we?

You two have already helped me a lot.

Don't worry.

I will figure this out myself.

You can go.

I want to be alone.

Alright, take it easy.

Don't worry too much.

Call me if anything.

[Chairman]

[Agree to resign, Lu Jiming]

[Agree to resign, Lu Jiming]

[Dunning Notice]
[Shanghai Pudong Development Bank]

Hello, Mr. Wang.

Please help me

settle my house as soon as possible.

It's fine to sell below market price.

So long as it's in full.

Ning Meng.

Ms. Shi.

How is Mr. Lu Senior doing?

He's still unconscious.

Mr. Lu

has been keeping him company at the hospital.

It must be hard on Mr. Lu.

If he needs anything,

tell me.

Thanks, Ms. Shi.

[He Yueluan]

Good day. What would you like to drink?

I'm fine, thanks.

Okay.

Go ahead. What do you want to talk to me about?

[Rental Agreement]

Qiqi.

The apartment You Qi is staying in.

I've paid three years' rent.

Tell her she can stay there comfortably.

If she wants to work,

I can introduce some.

After so long, she's used to relying on me.

I worry she'll feel lost

without me around.

Whatever it is,

I won't let her be homeless

or starve.

That I can assure you.

Do you think

you're showing loyalty right now?

You Qi stayed with you for so long.

After what she's given you,

do you think such assistance

is what she needs?

She is able-bodied.

She can live on her own.

Doing this

is just so you could feel better

about what you've done.

Ning Meng.

It's been so long. You've seen how it is.

When have I ever treated her badly?

I gave her everything she asked.

I really did my best for her.

Ning Meng.

I have my own problems.

Was You Qi not devoted to you?

Did she not treat you well?

Whom you choose to love,

that's up to you.

But if you really

don't want to be with You Qi,

you could just tell her directly.

Don't hurt her or lie to her.

How am I supposed to tell her?

You know how she is.

If I told her directly, it would break her.

I don't want to see her upset.

I'm thinking on her behalf.

Forget it.

I've spoiled her.

I am to blame.

So you really think

that You Qi can't live without you?

You've underestimated her.

Even now, you don't realize

what you did wrong.

You're still finding excuses for the affair.

He Yueluan.

You used hurt and lies

in place of communication.

That's the most disgusting way.

Not only with You Qi,

but you also did the same with Qinhe.

You betrayed our trust. You lied to us.

Ning Meng, mind your words.

I can't deny

I was wrong in my relationship with You Qi.

But regarding Qinhe,

you can't blame it on me.

Still putting on a show,

aren't you?

Before Mr. Lu came to you,

you already had an agreement with Shuangxun.

Am I wrong?

You kept saying it was undergoing the process,

putting off signing the contract.

It was to help Shuangxun

keep Mr. Lu occupied, no?

I don't know what you're saying.

Does Jiangnanchun Restaurant ring a bell?

You've started to collude with each other

since that time.

I had warned you

not to get involved

with a conniving guy like Qiu Junlin.

But I never would've thought

you'd be the most conniving one of all.

I reckon you made good money from Qinhe.

But money made with questionable means

will have to be returned sooner or later

even if you pocket it now.

These illegal

and unscrupulous things you did

will surely

come back to bite you one day.

Ning Meng.

Are you threatening me?

Do you have proof?

Before you threaten me,

you should watch your own back.

You want to find dirt on me?

You're too naive.

Just you wait.

Qiqi.

Look, I brought you food.

Eat up.

I'm not hungry.

I haven't eaten myself.

I'll eat with you.

Look. This is your favorite grilled duck.

It smells great.

Let me make a wrap for you.

How about going on a trip?

A local trip? Or overseas?

Let's take a vacation.

I don't want to go anywhere.

Here you go.

You eat.

You're going to fall sick like this.

Talk to me.

You might feel better

once you let it all out.

Mengmeng, I'm useless, aren't I?

I remember you telling me before.

To be more independent.

To have personal goals.

But I thought I had goals.

My goal was He.

As long as I had him,

I didn't need anything else.

I didn't have to think about other matters.

I was looking forward to being Mrs. He.

But now I feel like...

I'm drifting in the vast ocean.

The lighthouse in front of me is suddenly gone.

I'm left all by myself.

I don't know where I'll end up.

Where am I in the picture?

You still have me.

I will be with you forever.

Also, in this world,

there are other things aside
from the lighthouse.

If you look up,

the stars in the sky

are there to direct you.

You will surely find

the path meant for you.

Will I really be able to?

Of course.

You're still young.

This is your chance to start over.

Who the heck is he?

Even without He Yueluan,

you'll be able to live well.

Perhaps even better.

What's the matter?

This grilled duck is too good.

Wrap me another one.

Okay.

Don't choke. Eat slowly.

Let me make another wrap.

Don't choke.

Is You Qi feeling better?

She's better. She has started eating normally.

But to get over it

will take some time.

Many things have happened lately.

You must be exhausted.

Why don't we go
to a hot spring resort this weekend

to relax a little?

[Witness: Unprepared for Shuangxun's surprise
attack, Qinhe's defeat was inevitable]

If you're worried about You Qi,

we can take her along.

Ning Meng.

What did you say?

What's on your mind?

Senior.

I don't know much

about the secondary market.

I'd like to know.

If I wish to manipulate stock prices,

what are the specific steps?

Why are you asking that?

Manipulating stock prices
is considered human manipulation.

It's against the law.

I looked into

Shuangxun's stock fund management plan.

When Qinhe's stocks fell,

it led to the net worth of their plan

to drop below 0.8.

Shuangxun will be forced to close.

It's a grave loss.

So my guess is

that they've contacted Caihuang Capital.

Ning Meng.

You shouldn't meddle in this matter.

If He Yueluan and Shuangxun

did something illegal,

the CSRC and Economic Crime Investigation

will deal with it.

But...

I was the one who introduced He Yueluan to Mr. Lu.

I am responsible for what happened.

We can't read the future.

You couldn't have known

that He Yueluan was up to no good.

Besides,

Qinhe's equity is spread out.

Since Lu Jiming wants to help his dad,

Renning Insurance had to be his first target.

You just happened to know He Yueluan.

Even if not through you,

Lu Jiming could've contacted He Yueluan

using other means.

It is his only choice.

You didn't do anything wrong.

Why must you

feel guilty towards Lu Jiming?

I don't mean anything else.

Please don't talk about him again.

And I won't get so sensitive.

Alright?

Madam Liu.

I'll watch him.

You go eat.

Mingming.

Is everything okay with the company?

Don't worry. It's being resolved.

What...

Take it.

I don't need the money anyway.

Take it. It should be of some use.

Madam Liu, what are you doing?

I can handle the problem on my own.

We are a family.

Just take it.

I know the company is in a pinch.

Even so, I can't accept your money.

Don't worry. I have a plan.

What plan?

You're just like your dad.

You came from the same mold.

Just as stubborn.

That stubborn old man.

Sometimes, he really annoys me.

One time, we went on an outing.

It was cold outside.

He

kept scolding me.

"Do you think you're a teenager?

Who asked you to dress so thinly?"

I got really mad at him

and ignored him for a few days.

Later, while taking my clothes,

I found two new cardigans

in my wardrobe.

I asked him,

"Lu,

how come there are two new cardigans?

Did you buy them for me?"

He wouldn't admit it.

I don't know where he got them.

They were ghastly.

My dad sure cares about you.

Do you remember one time on your birthday?

He got angry with me at the dinner table.

You spoke up for me.

It was only right.

I was pretty touched then.

Since then,

your dad's attitude towards me

has changed somewhat.

He's not as bad-tempered as before.

Sometimes, he'd even show care for me.

"Eat this. Eat that."

It's all good.

Actually, your dad just has

a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

He was always so happy

when you went home to eat.

Was he?

Of course.

One time, we were eating by ourselves at home.

He had a bit more to drink.

I only found out later

it was because you received

the "Best Investor" award.

He was holding your picture.

Looking so proud.

I wanted to call you back then

and ask you to come back and eat with us.

But he stopped me.

He told me not to call you

and said, "He's busy working.

I'm enjoying my drinks.

If I praised him, he'd let it get to his head."

He also said, "The two of us

can drink any time we want.

There's plenty of time."

The stubborn old man.

What do I do with him?

Alright.

You stay with your dad.

I'll get some fresh air.

What are you doing?

The fish took the bait.

You... You made me miss the catch!

Dad.

You haven't taught me how to fish.

This time, I'll pay attention.

When I learn the way,

I won't scare the fish away.

Mr. Lu, I'll take the car for a wash.

Tell me when you need the car.

Later, come up to the office when we reach.

Okay.

[Joint Capital]

Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu.

Xiaoyang.

Ask everyone to gather in the meeting room.

I have something to say.

[Meeting Room]

Many things have happened
with the company lately.

I'm sure everyone has heard about it.

For the past weeks,

I have neglected company affairs

because I was busy dealing with family matters.

My dereliction of duty

caused you guys to suffer. I'm sorry.

Don't say that, Mr. Lu.

We all understand.

That's right, Mr. Lu.

We understand your predicament.

It's all right.

We will speak to our LPs and investees

to get their understanding.

We will do it as many times as needed.

I'm sure we'll get back on our feet.

By the way,

I've compiled all the projects

from last season.

There are a few promising ones.

Let's go through them again.

Whichever one we choose,

I'll get in touch immediately.

I will prepare the promotional material.

I'll conduct the evaluation. We can go any time.

I'll take care of the finance.

I'll take care of the data analysis.

I... I can drive whoever needs a ride.

I will look for information and make notes.

I'll keep a record.

Mr. Lu, I can fill in whatever is needed.

I'll gather everybody.

I'm really grateful to you all.

Thank you.

Today,

I called everyone here

because I have something to announce.

Joint Capital will be dissolved.

I gave it a lot of thought.

With my current situation

and my financial status,

I am unable to continue managing

the company.

This is the best decision
for the company, projects,

and employees.

Every one of you

is skilled and talented.

I'm thankful

that you've stayed until now.

Ren.

I've handed over

the ongoing projects to other coordinators.

They're reliable companies.

I've spoken to them.

You guys

will move on to the respective companies.

Your salary won't be any lower than now.

Mr. Lu, this is a shame.

The projects are about to make a profit.

Besides,

you hand-picked these projects

yourself.

Every one of them is good.

Thus, make sure you guys follow through

to your best ability.

Finish what you've started.

Liu.

Thank you for your service.

I know I have a bad temper.

It was normal for employees to suddenly quit.

It must have been tough for the HR Department.

Mr. Lu, you are a good boss.

I sincerely wish

I could stay longer at this company.

You have a family to look after.

Don't be rash.

Mr. Xu Senior has been wanted to get you

to join him, right?

Just give the nod

and you'll immediately get a raise.

Think about it.

The rest of you.

I've found several companies.

I also wrote recommendation letters.

If you have better options,

I am willing to put in the word

with the seasoned headhunters.

Xiaoyang.

Song.

You two can go with Mr. Liu.

Mr. Lu, I don't want to leave.

I want to stay and be your secretary.

I no longer make mistakes making coffee.

Is that the only accomplishment?

You should be happy.

After this,

I doubt you'd meet another boss

with a worse temper than me.

But I've gotten used to your scolding.

If I get a good-tempered boss,

I'll feel out of place.

Stop crying.

Swallow it.

Mr. Lu, I'm not going anywhere.

I'm going to be your driver.

I've sold the car.

Someone will be taking it.

No car, no problem.

I'll just go

wherever you go.

Song.

You're a great driver.

Don't waste your skills.

A good driver should know which road to take.

What about you, then?

Right.

What about you?

Don't concern yourself with me.

Thank you all for being so accommodating

over the years.

I sincerely wish everyone

all the best in the future.

Thank you, everyone.

Take care.

Xiaoyang.

Mr. Liu, the company is no more.

[Portfolio]
Here are your documents.

You get double the compensation.

Do your best elsewhere.

But

Mr. Lu is in trouble. I can't...

It's what Mr. Lu wanted. Just take it.

Okay.

Hello, I'm Ren Pengfei.

Yes, that's right.

I will make sure
the smaller projects are concluded.

Okay, thank you.

[Notes on making coffee]

[Notes on food and drinks]

Excuse me, are you Song?

Hello, I'm Dong.

I'm here to get the car.

Nice to meet you.

Hello, Xiaoyang.

Ms. Ning Meng.

You need to come to Joint Capital.

[Joint Capital]

Xiaoyang.

Meng.

The company is closing down.

How did it suddenly come to this?

Mr. Liu said

Mr. Lu owes a lot of money outside.

There's no other way but to close the company.

Meng, how could this have happened?

I was hoping to work here

till I retire.

Now, it's all gone.

Now, now, don't cry.

Meng, Mr. Lu must feel so awful.

He cared so much about the company.

Now it's gone.

It's okay, Meng.

Never mind me.

You need to go and check on him.

He's only going to listen to you.

I'm leaving.

Why are you here?

Good thing you came.

Tomorrow, Joint Capital will cease to exist.

You can take a last look.

Where did you get the money to buy the stocks?

I compiled it.

Compiled? You mean by borrowing?

I invested all of my money.

But it wasn't enough.

So I borrowed some from the bank.

I thought by having a Plan B,

there wouldn't be a problem.

By Plan B, you mean a private placement stock

for a new energy vehicle?

I thought

I could regain what I invested and more.

Then the cash flow wouldn't be affected.

But my luck was horrible.

The stocks were liquidated.

You were always risk-averse.

Why did you take the risk this time?

I've never made such a gamble.

This was the only time.

Because it's for my dad.

I'm sorry.

I'm partly to blame for He Yueluan

screwing things up.

It's not your fault.

I should've realized

they were not to be trusted.

Forget it. In business,

a loss is a loss.

I admit I failed.

Let me make you some coffee.

Thank you.

Ning Meng, why don't you sit down?

Ning Meng.

Joint Capital is the first company you joined

after graduating, right?

I remember you told me then

you wanted to do investing.

But I hired you as my secretary.

And you did the job for three years.

It must've been hard for you.

I learned a lot.

Tell me.

Am I really such a difficult person to handle?

I mean,

you even wrote a manual filled with precautions.

Were those not made up?

I'm telling you, you're really difficult.

Even on a small matter like making coffee,

it took me a long time to figure out

what your preference was.

Not even algebra is as hard.

So you hold grudges?

But there were times I treated you nicely,

right?

Yes.

I remember one time,

a client gifted you lamb meat.

They said it was from prairie sheep
raised with only milk.

They never fed on grass.

You said you were allergic to lamb.

So you asked me

to take all of it home

and eat it.

You couldn't be bothered.

I went home

and I made lamb stew.

It smelled so nice.

As if the juices dripping

were milk.

I had tears in my eyes eating it.

Later, you had lamb hotpot

and you were fine.

You know, you were only gullible then.

There's another time.

It was my first time
going on a business trip with you.

Do you remember?

The client was trying to get me to drink.

The wine glass

was already up in my face.

I was so nervous.

But you snatched the glass away

and said, "Why bother drinking

with a little secretary?

I'll drink."

Then you downed three glasses in one go.

It was baijiu.

You vomited immediately after.

I vomited?

I don't remember that.

That meal was full of challenges.

They tried to make me drink again,

so you asked me to get cigarettes.

I went to many different shops

but couldn't find the cigarette you wanted.

I even called you to ask

if I could get something else

or where

I could find it.

Straight away, you yelled at me over the phone.

"You couldn't even do such a simple task!

Just leave!

I'm going to fire you."

I was so terrified.

You just started working at the time.

You didn't know anything.

I gave you a way out, but you wouldn't take it.

You were so clueless.

You called and solemnly asked

if you could change to a different cigarette.

I couldn't believe it.

I really almost fired you.

But I understood later.

You were protecting me.

After that, you stopped asking me

to go to those drinking sessions.

About that.

Later, every time you drank too much,

you'd call me at ungodly hours.

I endured it.

A foul atmosphere like that,

I don't think

it's suitable for a naive girl like you.

At first, I didn't support you being an investor

because I thought

the world of investment was too complicated.

It didn't suit you.

Ning Meng.

I've never told you this.

Actually,

you are already

a very talented investor.

If you had said this to me before,

I would've been overjoyed.

It's not too late, is it?

What do you plan to do now?

I... I don't have any plans.

This is probably the end of my investing career.

It's late. Let's go.

Mr. Lu, wait for me in the lobby.

I'll be right down.

Okay.

[Shanghai World Financial Center]

[Lu Jiming]
Mr. Lu, you should take these.

In my heart,

you're still the best investor.

You left this at the company.

It's time to return it to its rightful owner.
