[Unexpected Falling]

[Episode 11]

Careful.

Slowly.

What is it now?

It's Ruan Zhenzhen.

Why is she at a men's store?

See?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Taking photos?

Let's go.

(Lu Yang.)

He joined

Jinshang Capital four years ago.

He worked for Xu Youning the whole time.

Supposedly, their relationship is not straightforward.

After Xu Youning died,

he took over his responsibilities.

But his position stayed the same.

Anything else?

[Qiu Zhijian]

Qiu Zhijian, Jinshang's director of operations.

An authoritative figure in the company.

He's also Xu Youning's direct superior.

Their relationship is unclear.

But Qiu Zhijian's reputation in the company

is not that good.

[Director of Operations] He's known as a dictator.

[Xu Youning's director superior] Ruthless.

I heard he has a daughter

studying music abroad.

She rarely comes home.

But Qiu Zhijian would visit her

every year.

[Fang Jianshe] Fang Jianshe, chairman of Jinshang.

The big boss.

He's low profile, a bit of a recluse.

Like sailing.

[Ruan Zhenzhen]

Why aren't you answering?

A busy man like Gao Jun

can't possibly answer any calls.

Hello.

I'm the guest staying in 1102.

It's not just the suitcase.

There's also an umbrella.

Can you please check for me?

Yes, that's me.

Room 1102, right?

Yes.

Can you find it?

Please hurry up.

I'm rushing for time.

Okay, please wait.

Excuse me.

A friend of mine is staying here.

Can I leave this coat

with you

so that he can retrieve it later?

Is that okay?

Which room is he staying in?

What is his name?

His name is Gao Jun. He's in...

I don't actually know

what room he's in.

Could you check with him

first then?

[Mr. Gao Jun]

Hello, Gao Jun.

I was in talks with a client.

I saw your missed call.

Anything the matter?

I bought you a coat.

I won't send it up to your room.

When you're free,

you can get it from the hotel reception.

By the way,

what room are you in?

You're at the hotel?

Yes.

Don't leave it at the reception.

Give me a minute.

I'll be right down.

Okay?

Okay.

Sit.

Would you like a drink?

No, I'm not thirsty.

Are you heading out?

Great timing.

You can wear this coat.

I don't know your preference,

so I got you the same one.

This brand is expensive.

It's okay.

I thought you were broke.

How come you can afford this?

I can still afford

a coat.

Anyway, how is your injury?

Is it bad?

Nothing serious.

Still, you should be careful.

No drinking alcohol.

When are you

going to redress the wound?

I can go with you.

You're rushing for an appointment, right?

I won't keep you then.

-Bye. -I'll see you off.

You don't have to.

It's fine.

Let's go.

Don't look back.

What's wrong?

Someone you know is here.

Better not let them see you.

Who is it?

Xu Youning's family.

His cousin's husband.

You Gang?

Yes, him.

What is he doing here?

Don't look. It's him.

After the incident at the cemetery,

it's best he doesn't see you

here at the hotel with me.

Am I wrong?

Stay still.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

I caused you trouble.

No need to see me off.

You can stop looking. She's gone.

I almost had a heart attack, Boss.

If Ruan Zhenzhen

had bumped into that guy,

all our effort

would've been wasted.

She really splurged.

This is expensive stuff, Boss.

Are you sure she's broke?

Do you think

she's actually

hiding Xu Youning's money?

(It's a lawyer from Beiling.)

(Gao Jun.)

He claims they were high school classmates.

I never heard Xu Youning

mention him before.

Probably just hi-bye friends.

He's here

to help in the lawsuit.

I have to go. Bye.

Hello?

Okay, I'll be right there.

Even a dog is more useful than you.

I asked you to keep an eye on Xu Youning's stuff.

How did the notebook

end up in someone else's hands?

[Jinshang Fund Management Co., LTD]

Mr. Qiu, what is this?

It's Xu Youning's notebook.

Someone gave it to the chairman.

Aside from you,

who else in the office

is close to Xu Youning?

Investigate it.

Who else

went to Xu Youning's office?

Yes, sir.

This notebook...

You take it.

The chairman said

to hand it to the sales department to check

if it contains

any business-related content.

Who could've done it?

If there is business-related information,

then...

Do you still have to ask?

If there's related content,

find out what it's about.

Report any important findings

immediately.

This must not result in any losses for the company.

Yes, got it.

I'll be off then.

Go.

Mr. Lu.

There's no end to this.

They're either clamping the car or puncturing the tires.

Those rascals

have no shame.

Is Yu doing okay?

Yes, she's doing great.

You know her temper.

She wears her heart on her sleeve.

But she gets over it quickly.

No hard feelings.

As for you,

don't let it get to you.

Zhenzhen, I have something else to do.

I'm making a move.

The mechanic will fix the car.

Call me if there is anything.

Okay.

You go ahead.

Li, I'm leaving.

Please fix the car.

I'll be nearby.

I'm off, Zhenzhen.

Hello, Xiucai. What's up?

Your tire

cannot be patched.

Then what should we do?

Change the tires. Both wheels.

How much is that?

You're Gang's relative, right?

I won't charge you more.

Two tires. I can do it for 1,000.

Sorry, sir.

Forget about fixing it.

Sorry to have troubled you.

Please put the tires back.

What about...

I make it cheaper? 800?

It's not about the cost.

I don't want to fix it anymore.

Sorry.

Alright.

We won't fix it.

But

you have to pay me 100 yuan for my man-hours.

Thank you.

I'll put the tires back

for you.

I checked.

She bought it in the morning with cash.

Cash?

Yes, cash.

Also,

Qi went to the factory again.

No signs of Xia Xinliang.

[Yingcai Talent Agency]

[Recruitment, recruitment agency]

[Yingcai Talent Agency]

Hello.

[Graduate certificate]

I took a look.

Your qualifications are sufficient.

But

you've not had a job for 10 years.

Miss Ruan.

I'll be honest with you.

Your age

is too old to be a programmer.

As for something like

a system architect or algorithm engineer,

you lack experience.

Currently, the more popular jobs

are in big data cloud computing.

AR, VR,

and AI.

But your background is not in that.

So...

How about changing career paths?

Such technical positions

have stiff competition.

It's constantly advancing too.

With your condition,

it'll be hard to return to the industry.

What other industry do you suggest?

The biggest problem is

that you haven't had a job for the past 10 years.

Will you consider domestic work?

If yes,

I can help you sign up

for vocational training.

Will domestic work for you?

See, we're currently

running a promotion.

If you sign up now,

you'll get a discount.

It's a no for domestic work.

It's not suitable for me.

Can you see

if there are other openings?

Other jobs?

See,

you're not fitted

for technical work.

You have no experience in sales.

As for administration,

I don't think your age

is suitable.

So...

Look, Miss Ruan.

This is how it is.

Take this as a friendly reminder.

Right now, you're not the one picking a job.

The job chooses you.

To be honest,

even for domestic work,

you'd be an unfavorable candidate.

Because female homeowners nowadays

prefer nannies

that are honest and reliable.

When it comes to a pretty woman like you,

they would often feel wary.

You understand, right?

Okay then.

You can think about it.

I won't see you out.

Okay.

Call me if there is anything.

Sure.

Thank you.

Call my number.

Okay.

I'm off.

Bye.

Hello.

I overheard bits and pieces

from in there.

Although

you don't have the necessary professional skills,

you possess

an advantage many others do not.

I'm going to cut to the chase.

A good-looking woman like you

can totally get an easy job

that pays well.

Don't... don't get me wrong.

I'm talking about a decent job.

That is, to accompany bosses,

put on your best smile while entertaining others.

When required, go on business trips with them.

The salary?

The monthly salary starts at 15,000.

There's an allowance for buying clothes and makeup.

And, if you can handle alcohol,

you get 5,000 more.

Can you do that?

If you think you can,

you can sign the contract right away.

What a pity.

Hello?

I can't go over today either.

My supervisor wants me to stay back.

What's the situation with you?

Any updates from the court?

No.

Don't fret.

It will probably take a few days.

Court proceedings take time.

You don't have to worry about me.

Watch after your own health.

Make sure you don't exhaust yourself.

I know what I'm doing. I can handle it.

But my line of work

is never a walk in the park.

Be it man or woman,

we're all just minions.

That's a good thing, no?

You think so?

It's fulfilling.

Unlike me.

I turned myself

into a useless piece of trash.

Nobody wants anything to do with me.

That's funny.

Who would want this sort of fulfillment?

If I didn't

have to make money to get a new kidney,

I'd have retired and lived a carefree life.

Zhenzhen?

I'm listening.

Have you tried

looking for Xia Xinliang in secret?

I tried calling.

He said the money

was all loans.

Why would a shell company have loans?

It's just a bluff.

I asked to meet up.

He said he was out of town.

He will be back next week.

That's clearly an excuse.

Just wait for me.

Our audit is about to finish.

I'll help you investigate it.

Do you think

the money is with Xia Xinliang?

It's probable.

Think about it.

You discovered this lead

in the client information

kept in Xu Youning's office.

Jinshang Capital is a private equity.

There are strict criteria to be accepted.

Since this Xia guy

is one of the company's clients,

that means his account

had at least

one million in it.

But Xia Xinliang's factory

is a shell company.

That's where the problem lies.

A shell company

was able

to become a private equity client.

Think about it.

This could very well be

the missing piece.

Ms. Wen.

I noticed Wu Songrong

secretly watching you just now.

Being all sneaky.

Who knows what he's up to?

I'm here.

Sorry.

I was at the finance department.

Well?

Are you rushing to go back?

Mr. Songrong.

Do you have goji berries

steeping in your flask?

Young lady.

You think I don't get it?

You're calling me out as a middle-aged man.

Am I right?

Let's go.

Don't make Mr. Xu wait.

I'll do it.

How can I not feel anxious, bro?

You made it sound like

it was foolproof.

Follow the bookmaker and your money will grow.

There wouldn't be any risks.

Playing them for a sucker.

You said that, didn't you?

That was just a few days ago.

Now you're asking me to throw more money into it?

Stop yelling.

If you can't make up the deficit,

you'll be forced to close the position.

Yelling at me won't change anything.

Closing the position?

What about the one million plus

I had invested?

There's nothing I can do.

Once the position is closed,

there won't be much left of it.

Xiucai.

Xiucai, I'm not blaming you.

Xiucai.

It's fine if I don't make any money.

But I can't lose the capital.

I can't lose even one cent from the capital.

The capital

wasn't just the money my parents saved for their retirement,

but I also mortgaged

my house.

Xiucai.

I cannot

lose any of the capital!

-Go, go. Get out. -Get off the car.

I must

get the capital back, you hear me?

What are you doing?

Xiucai, you better think of a solution.

If you had

broken my neck,

you'd be worried

about more than a million.

If I

don't teach you a lesson today,

I'll have trouble maintaining order.

Beat him up!

Boss, it's his phone.

Your phone's ringing.

Answer it.

Tsk.

Hello?

Yes, dear.

What is it?

Really?

You think I'm lying to you?

Yu.

Show the photos to your aunt.

Yu took photos.

Look.

It was at the mall.

She was carrying that big bag.

That brand is very expensive.

That good-for-nothing...

Gosh.

Who is that?

You Gang.

Aunt.

Hey, come in.

Mom, Yu.

What took you so long?

Something happened at the stall.

Yu was quick-thinking

and took photos of her.

Even if we confronted her,

do you think she'll admit it?

Right.

What's going on?

Something big.

What's going on, you ask?

Ruan Zhenzhen spent tens of thousands

to buy clothes for a man.

Don't simply make things up.

Make things up? We have photos.

Yu, show him.

Take a good look.

Well?

And she denies having any money.

How could she afford

to buy that then?

She's caught red-handed.

So she's using Youning's hard-earned money

to support her kept man?

There, there, Xiufen.

No point getting mad about it.

What's most important

is to figure out how to make

Ruan Zhenzhen hand over the money.

That is Youning's money.

Yes.

Why should she keep it

and live a comfortable life?

Am I right?

Yes.

You guys think of something too.

[Ruan Zhenzhen]

[Hiring] [Cashier, waitress, assistant cook, food runner]

Hello?

You called.

What's up?

The court asked me to go next Monday afternoon.

Is it for the handwriting identification?

Yes.

No need to be nervous.

That's just the procedure.

Next Monday.

I'm in Beiling right now.

I have something

to do on Monday morning.

Why don't you head there yourself first?

I'll get there as soon as I can in the afternoon.

We'll see what has to be done then, okay?

You don't have to show up for me.

It's not for you.

I'm supposed to go there next Monday anyway.

My lawsuit in Nanzhou is still ongoing.

By the way,

if you have the time,

go get the transaction statement

for your bank card.

Bank card statement?

Yes, the statement for your transactions.

I think the maximum

is for three years.

Go get it. You will need it.

That's all for now.

My client is waiting.

Talk to you later.

[Hiring one dishwasher] [Work 10 hours a day]

Why do you wish to work in the kitchen?

With your good looks,

you should work in the front hall.

I don't like interacting with people.

Take your time to think about it.

Let me give you an idea.

You start work at 4 every day.

You get off at 10.

You get 4 days off in a month.

The base salary is 3,500, with an additional bonus.

Ms. Meng.

I found you a helper.

She'll help you with the night shift.

What about the afternoon?

There's not much to clean for lunch.

Just bear with it.

She'll wash the dishes with you at night.

Mr. Qian.

You're so stingy.

Mr. Qian.

Where did you find this prudish lady?

Looking at her physique,

she doesn't look like

she can do this kind of work.

I can do it.

She looks capable enough.

I can do the job.

This is where you work.

Do you think you can do it?

No problem.

Then you may start today.

I'll count it as a full day.

You can get the uniform tomorrow.

-Do a good job. -Okay.

You'll get a bonus.

Thank you.

Ms. Meng.

I'm leaving her to you.

Bye then.

Yeah, sure.

Do a good job.

Ms. Meng.

Don't look at me.

Do you need me to teach you how to wash dishes?

Just get on with it.

[Tribunal Court]

[Court Personnel Reorganization Files]

Excuse me.

How much is the handwriting identification?

The person who applied for it has to pay first.

It will later be borne by the losing party.

What is the estimated cost?

[Handwriting identification application] [Submitted by: Ruan Zhenzhen]

Get 10,000 yuan ready.

Get in.

Sorry.

It took longer than I expected.

Is your wound okay?

It's as good as healed.

That's good.

What is it?

Didn't go well?

No, it went fine.

Did you get the bank statement?

Yes.

In the last three years,

there haven't been any small sporadic expenses.

They were all big transactions.

The smallest one was 300,000.

If you only look at this statement,

you'd think I was a millionaire.

Why did you insist

on using only cash?

I'm used to it.

That turned out to be a good thing.

These transactions can help to prove

that the money

wasn't used in your day-to-day expenses.

It's considered favorable to you.

Put it away first.

I'll take another look at home.

I have something else to ask you.

Not so hard. You're disturbing the neighbors.

She's not in.

This can't be.

What...

I mean, her car is downstairs.

How come she's not here?

Let's call her.

No, don't call her.

If we call her,

she's definitely not coming back.

Think about it.

Will Ruan Zhenzhen

be happy to let you guys live here?

Wipe your sweat.

-Right. -Here, Brother-in-law.

I'm okay.

We will not

make the call.

We'll just wait here.

She has to come back sooner or later.

Right?

Yes.

You two listen to me.

We'll try to negotiate first.

We don't know her stance.

It's better

to resolve this amicably.

We are civilized people.

We'll talk civilly.

Yes.

Let's settle down.

Sit here.

-It's okay. You sit. -Sit here.

You can sit here.

Sit down here.

Come on, sit down.

If Xia Xinliang's name can be found

on the bank statement,

does that mean

I can use it as proof

to sue Xia Xinliang?

You can sue him,

but it might result in a loss

due to insufficient evidence.

It's okay to lose.

At least

the court will look into Xia Xinliang.

Then we could at least meet him.

You want to see Xia Xinliang?

Su Wen said Xia Xinliang is the key.

I went to look for him at the factory.

Unfortunately, I only got his number

without meeting him.

You have Xia Xinliang's number?

I do.

Why the laugh?

Nothing.

I'm just surprised.

How did you manage

to get Xia Xinliang's number?

Did you lie?

You could say that.

Hello?

Yes, speaking.

A complaint against me?

Okay, I'll be right there.

What's the matter?

The building management said a neighbor made a complaint.

Supposedly someone at my house is causing a disturbance.

You wench!

You lied about having an affair!

You even

brought the man home!

You have no shame!

Calm down!

You shameless piece of...

Don't abuse your seniority.

You better watch your words.

You watch your speech.

We're here to talk civilly.

If you're here to talk civilly,

then let's talk inside.

Okay.

We'll talk inside.

Take the things inside.

The things...

This is all I have left.

That's a lot of bank cards.

These are fuel cards.

Fuel cards?

Youning had given them to me

before he died.

They can't be exchanged for cash.

Over the years,

we've been paying off the house loan.

We only cleared it last year.

Youning had a lot of friends.

His expenditures were high.

As you can see,

we don't have much savings.

Even so,

it can't be only this little amount.

Xu Youning

did leave me with some cash.

After settling the funeral,

there are less than 50,000 left.

Just a few days ago,

Mr. Gao's coat got ruined

because of me.

I got him a new one as a replacement.

That ate into it.

Aside from that,

I spent it on the lawsuit.

This is all that's left.
