[Almost Lover]

[Episode 20]

Lao He, you're in quite deep.

That's it.

What I will do is find somewhere for you guys to go.

Tell us, after you find somewhere for us to go where will you go yourself?

You got promoted, didn't you?

-I wish you a high promotion, Lao He.
-Leave it.

Older Sister Xiaoran

since you left

I feel Helping Each Other has been slowly falling apart.

Sui Mingwei said to me before, I should take a few days off.

Coincidentally, he told me he was encouraging older employees

to take compensatory leave before the upgrade.

I thought that was a reward.

After looking at our Li Hui again, the current situation is not too good.

So, I let them both leave.

The blood exchange, you also just found out about it?

Not exactly.

After they left, I felt something wasn't right.

Wen Wen didn't listen to me.

No matter what we're trying to do, she's making everyone vote.

And these new people in the team always follow her vote.

Is there really no way to turn things around for Helping Each Other?

I can speak to Director Liu if there's no other options.

You shouldn't get involved in this.

If this becomes news at the TV station, it won't be good for you.

I just don't want everything beautiful about Wusu to just disappear like this.

Did anything happen?

All things have a life span.

Our show has had its prosperous times.

But no matter how strongly we insist, we can't go back to the beginning.

It's time for an ending.

I've been managing Helping Each Other for half my life time.

It's time for it all to end.

What are your plans now? And Xiaofeng. What's he gonna do?

Xiaofeng? He's a smart guy.

I heard that he sent his resume to a software company in advance. He's found his next job.

Old Sui and I have agreed.

He'll go home and work for his family's fragrance factory. And I don't want to stay here anymore.

I can work for Brother Hao if that's what I have to do.

I thought you can't play the guitar anymore.

But I can still hold the plates.

I've wanted to leave the radio station a long time ago.

Although Old He didn't say anything, I can tell he's actually very sad.

After all, he's the one who brought Helping Each Other to its best times.

Now it's ending in his reign as well.

Well, well.

It's not a big deal. Old He is the only person who cares about it so much.

And he's retiring in advance because of this. Isn't that foolish?

Okay.

I shouldn't have misunderstood him.

I'll find a time to get everyone together and organize a farewell dinner for him.

A farewell party. I'll apologize to him.

I thought I could solve all the problems naturally by returning to Wusu.

Now, come to think of it,

the Wusu that I used to know is probably a place that we can't go back to.

Why didn't Xiao Shangqi come back last night?

Was there anything stopping him?

Lin Zong told me today that he called him and arranged some work for him.

And I got it immediately.

He's got so much to do in Hupu.

And maybe Chen Fei'er still won't let him go, as her last bit of hope.

And he needs to look after his family business, too.

I was pretty confident.

I believed that I meant a lot to him.

So I gave him some time to get all these settled.

But with each day passing by,

my confidence is lowered.

And so is his importance in my heart.

Do you guys know?

Last night, he told me he was coming here earlier than planned, and I was thrilled.

But it turned out that he didn't.

So I said to myself,

no matter what he choose, he's not wrong. I should respect his decision.

As time passed by,

I already feel that I'm the one he's giving up on.

Easy. You still have that seven-day agreement.

Maybe he got delayed by something last night.

Forget about it. What could have delayed him?

Even if he does have anything to deal with, he shouldn't just say sorry and let Xiaoran wait here for so long.

Just eat your food.

You have a cold. Why are you still drinking?

Just a little. It's fine.

I'll pour it for you.

Cheers.

Xiaoran, come home with us.

No. I'll get a cab.

I mean, you should move back and stay with us.

It must be boring to live in such a big apartment alone. Didn't I tell you before?

Loft is your home forever in Wusu. There's always a place for you.
♫ it has marked out the boundaries ♫

But I still want to stay there for a few more days.

He Xiaoran. Do you really believe that he'll come back?

- Bye.
- You're okay by yourself?

Xiao Shangqi is a doer. Maybe he's now home already.

Let's go.

Are we just gonna walk home?

Walk home. I don't have money for a cab.

♫ It is but only a goodbye ♫

♫ It is but only a reunion ♫

♫ The changes after leaving you ♫
♫ I try to mention it only in passing ♫

♫ It is but only a goodbye ♫

Sister Xiaoran, you're back!

Well...there's a document of Jifeng Hotel that President Xiao kept here.

We needed it urgently.

I called you but you didn't pick up your phone. So I came here directly.

President Xiao left a key for me before he left.

He was worried that you might need help.

Sister Xiaoran, I'm sorry.

It's okay. I didn't look at my phone earlier.

So...I'll be on my way.

- Bye bye.
- Bye bye.

♫ it has marked out the boundaries ♫

♫ A hasty farewell, ♫
♫ brings endless thoughts of good times ♫

President Gao, why don't you try this?

No, thanks. I'm not used to whiskey.

Go get the best wine for President Gao.

Mr. Zhao, just cut to the chase.

Nothing important, Mr. Zhao. It's just an opportunity for us to get connected.

Mr. Zhao, I assume you've calmed down? You've made a lot of moves these days.

But that Xiao Shangqi was very audacious indeed.

This deceptive trick is obviously a honey trap set for Deju.

I would definitely not cooperate with this kind of people. What do you say, President Gao?

But President Gao, are you planning to cooperate with Yunlan?

Yes. I do have that intention.

President Gao. At this point in time, I think you should be cautious.

Now that Xiao Zhenyun is gone, Yunlan lost its backbone.

Look at what a mess they've made at Cloud Hotel.

Who else in the industry has the gut to work with them?

And President Gao, we've found a really excellent operator.

They're much better than Yunlan in all aspects.

I can always introduce them to you if you need it.

We found the person.

I think some of these people you probably know, but some of them you're probably not familiar with.

Like Mr. Zheng Haoping. Director Zheng.

He was Yunlan's No.1 employee and the groomsman at our parents' wedding.

And Uncle Wang Song. Dad helped him when he was in need.

Since then, he would come visit us every spring festival to wish us a happy new year.

I'm sure he's left some impression on you?

Yeah.

Anyway, as we've already discussed,

this is the last moment for our father.

I haven't invited anyone who's no more than a business contact.

Apart from our relatives, the rest are people who supported him during his career.

These are some stuff that Master used a lot while he was still here.

[Economic Planning]

Do you know? Dad really liked to use this as a bookmark.

This was the birthday card that we made for him.

[Dad, Happy Birthday!]

After what happened that year,

we never celebrated his birthday together again.

I remember you often complaining about the name he gave you.

Qi was really difficult to write.

So you just wrote the initial letter. And he always blamed you.

He said "You can't just omit a character."

He's always been strict.

A Qilin is an auspicious sign.

Xiao Qi. He had great hope on you ever since you were born.

I misunderstood him too much.

It's too late to understand these now.

to understand these now.

Look how dumb I was.

I wanted to collect a few items that master loved for burial.

But I broke his vase.

Why is he gone so suddenly?

[Hyatt Hotel]

Xiao Shangqi did know how to find a good place to hide you.

I lost contact with him already.

Xiao Zhenyun is dead now. Of course he wouldn't have time for you.

You know why I'm here to visit you?

You're just worried that I'd say something to the journalists, and tear apart your hypocritical mask of being amicable.

Fei'er.

You don't have to be so hostile towards me.

You've been my girlfriend for a few years, and I almost married you. I like you.

I can only say that fate makes fool of the people.

And I also know that you think it's valuable

that you know some of my information, right?

I'm not that stupid.

I wouldn't throw an egg against a piece of rock just for a little benefit.

Mingxuan. I have nothing now.

I have no place to go and nobody to rely on.

All these years with you, I've been loyal and genuine.

If that is not to be considered contribution, it is at least efforts.

After all, what did I do wrong in this wedding?

I'm just the sacrifice for everyone else's benefit.

As long as you don't say anything you shouldn't say, I wouldn't meddle with you.

Or...

I'll give you another option.

Come back to me.

What do you mean?

You said you were a sacrifice.

On the contrary, I think you are the best loot

in my war with Xiao Shangqi.

Don't think about being Mrs. Zhao again.

Just stay around me. You won't have to worry about your life anymore.

We'll just go back to our old routine.

After all, you've been around me for many years. You're not totally useless.

As for your parents, naturally I'll settle the money with them.

So they won't bother you anymore.

What?

Don't tell me

that a woman like you

would still care about your reputation.

Just think it through.

And let me know.

[Xiao Zhenyun 11.28.1970 - 06.15.2022
Bai Yunqi 05.29.1972 - 03.25.2001]

[Mourner]

Old Sui!

What are you doing here?

I drank too much last night with my friends. Why did I came to your door?

Did you sleep here all night?

He's afraid that you‘ll commit suicide.

He comes over midnight to guard your door, and leaves before you go to work in the morning.

Did you sleep late today?

What kind of nonsense is that?

This is what we're supposed to do as her family. It's nothing shameful.

You guys...

I bought breakfast for you two. Let's eat it now.

It's freezing cold here.

Sister Hui.

Your guitar...

I brought my guitar back.

Since I'm giving up on the job at the radio station,

I can't really work as a waiter in a restaurant.

So I thought I'd give it another try.

Let me show it to you.

Be patient. It's early in the morning. Your guitar might still be sleeping even though you're up.

Let's take it slow.

She's right.

I'll try again.

♪ Remember the breath ♪

♪ Unfamiliar yet familiar ♪

♪ Walk with me on the far distance ♪

♪ Follow and wait ♪

♪ Go back to the memory ♪

♪ There will be someone waiting at the original place ♪

- I can play it.
- You can, Li Hui.

You can play it.

In this world, it really seems like no one is inseparable.

Right?

Thank you.

It's pretentious that you said this.

Actually when I came today,

I don't have much confidence.

But I really want to force myself.

I want to an example for you.

Xiaoran, I can do it.

Of course you can, too.

♫ Walk with me on the far distance ♫

Today's weather is not bad. Let's go and outside and have fun, okay?

Okay.

Then you guys wait for me. I'll go and get changed.

Okay.

Sister Hui.

How come you can do it suddenly?

I've moved on when I was in Hupu.

It's just that I didn't have any guys by my side at that time.

All right.

You didn't take back this guitar this morning, right?

How can it be so easy to break the knot in your heart?

You practiced for one night, right?

Only you know.

It's my Sister Hui indeed. Amazing.

Dad will be happy if he sees this.

It has been so many years.

I haven't learn to make him happy.

Now it's too late.

Director Xiao, the invitation that were already sent have the contact numbers of our staff.

There will be people in charge of receiving the guests.

Now let's go through the sequence of the memorial service first.

After it starts, we'll play funeral music first. Following that, everyone stand up

to pay respects the deceased through the tribute wreath and giving the eulogy.

How is it?

He's busy.

Xiaoran, you give me some time, okay?

How long?

Seven days.

Should I not give excuses for him again?

After all, seven days is over.

The past few days

I listened to "Listening to Good Night".

I originally thought Helping Each Other should be ruined in the hands of Wen Wen.

I didn't expect it to be quite good.

The content is rich

and also has attitude.

I saw the WeChat official account.

The fans also like her.

There's still the foundation of Helping Each Other.

Honestly speaking,

the capability of that girl is considered good.

This time I come back,

suddenly I realized that it seems like the things that I've always wanted to hold on to are not there anymore.

But it looks like this show, Helping Each Other,

is not around anymore.

But in fact it's getting better and better.

Perhaps some things are like this.

Only when you let go,

both sides can get better.

Okay.

Can you take me in again?

Of course. We welcome you any time.

Seriously.

Let's go.

What are you waiting for? Go back and pack your things. Move house today.

Why is he still not here?

Wait for a little longer.

[Xiao Zhenyun, Bai Yunying]

Hello, this is a token from our President Zheng, Zheng Haoping.

He has something on today. He can't come.

Okay. Help me to thank President Zheng.

Director Xiao.

Guest Wang Song called and said that he can't come because he has something on.

Just now Mr. Liu Wen called and said that he is sick.

Director Xiao, the other people on the name list,

do we need to call them to ask their situation?

No need.

When a person is gone, the tea cools down.
(T/N: Idiom which means human relationships are superficial)

Dad was eager to excel his whole life.

I didn't expect after he passed away, nobody came to send him off.

Brother.

First bow.

Bow again.

Third bow.

Brother.

From now on,

there's only us two brothers left.

- President Gao.
- President Gao.

At this present time,

nobody is willing to openly take sides

and go against Deju.

It's not convenient for me, too.

Thank you for coming.

I know Old Xiao for many years.

I didn't expect him to pass away so suddenly.

I just came to see both of you.

My condolences to you two brothers.

President Gao.

We have arranged for the signing of contract in the office this afternoon.

Business is business.

Now the company's interest is put first.

The intention to cooperate which we said previously

there's no choice but to put off first.

President Gao.

Xiao Qi, I admire you very much.

But honestly speaking,

you show your edge too early.

You need to remember that in the corporate world,

you must know how to hide your edge and remain honest at any time.

You need to bear the big responsibility

for the current situation.

Learn a lesson.

But any low point

can have a hidden opportunity to reach greater heights.

I leave first.

Do you still want these? I'll get you another box if you need more space to store them.

Since they can't fit, I don't want them anymore. Just help me throw them out.

Xiaoran, do you still want this?

You need to have a plan when you're arranging things.

If you place these containers up there, I won't be able to reach when I need to use them.

I'll always be here whenever you need to use them.

I'll carry you up!

Alright, alright, I can reach them!

You're so scheming.

I don't want those either.

Director Gao is Yunlan's last hope, right?

If even he doesn't want to help you,

it's likely that everyone else too are afraid of offending Zhao Mingxuan.

Thank you for coming to see my father off.

I should be the one saying it, whether it is gratitude or an apology.

I've checked out of the hotel.

What you said that day was right.

I should plan for the future.

This is your own choice.

There is no need to tell me.

What do you mean?

Zhao Mingxuan was the one who told you that my father passed away, right?

You're here today to see for yourself

that I've lost completely to him,

so that you can reconsider whether or not to go back to him.

Am I wrong?

Shangqi,

Reality is always on the side of those who resort to foul means.

I have other things to attend to, I won't see you off.

I have another question.

In that time capsule,

did you truly mean what you wrote as a wish?

Back when I was 18,

yes.

But now,

He Xiaoran is the only person in my heart.

This is the will of President Xiao.

According to his wishes,

the family mansion will be inherited by the eldest son, Xiao Xian.

the rest will be split equally. The distribution of Yunlan's shares is also stated inside.

If you have any questions, please contact me anytime.

- Alright, thank you.
- I'm sorry for your loss.

The scenery is not bad here.

Dad and Mom are finally reunited.

They can take a good rest.

Xiao Qi, Dad wrote this will when he was still around.

He didn't have time to change it,

- so my shares are higher...
- I'm not concerned about this.

With Yunlan's current state, I don't know how much longer can we hold out.

There's something that I didn't get the chance to ask you.

Have you contacted He Xiaoran?

You might not be able to return to Wusu for a while, given the sudden situation.

Will she be understanding about this?

So much has happened all of a sudden,

I don't know how to tell her either.

I know what she wants,

but I can't even give her something as simple as my company.

It seems like I'm always letting her down.

- Xiao Qi...
- Xiao Xian.

There are uncertainties surrounding Dad's death,

Yunlan is also barely hanging on.

At this point of time, telling her all these

will only make her worry. What else can it do?

So, you're still suspecting Zhao Mingxuan?

I don't have concrete evidence now

but he is the most plausible suspect.

He is sly and sinister.

It's not easy to find his weak spot.

Look, Xiao Qi,

our main priority is to keep Yunlan afloat.

Alright?

Miss Chen, how come you're back?

I'll stay for just a while, I won't bother you while you work.

Mingxuan is in the office now, you don't have to tell him.

This is not a good idea. It will be difficult for me to explain if anything happens.

Look, the passcode for the door is still the same.

You can go out and do grocery shopping now. Just pretend you never saw me.

But...

Sister Wang, how do I usually treat you?

I'll just go out for half an hour. You mustn't take anything.

Okay.

I thought you said half...

Mingxuan.

What are you doing here?

- I'm here to look for you.
- Looking for me?

It has been hard staying outside for the past few days.

I wanted to get a change of clothes.

- Have you given it a good thought?
- Yes.

I finally understood after being at the cemetery today.

You went to Xiao Zhenyun's funeral?

- Tell me what are your thoughts after watching.
- It feels quite dreary.

Xiao Shangqi's obstinacy

eventually hurts both himself and others.

Why do I feel like you actually feel sorry for him?

I just feel that you're much stronger than I think,

and more heartless.

I pity him.

Even though his heart is not with me now,

he did a lot for me in the past.

After hearing what you have to say,

it seems like you didn't make the right choice.

Do I have to choose?

Of course it's you.

I don't need any status.

Mingxuan, I just want to be with you.

You have to think clearly.

Once you make this decision,

you will stand opposing Xiao Shangqi.

I can't possibly throw myself into a losing game

over feelings that are in the past tense.

Furthermore, when we were together

we had many happy moments too, right?

Fei'er, I didn't know you were this devoted.

You really can't bear to leave me?

But Fei'er, what you said is right.

You coming back to me makes me feel

that it's even more fun winning him.
