Did your husband

give you this report?

Do you see that, WGYL?

For the past 16 months,

the funds of their

mostly distributed product

all went to a company called

Suoro Network Technology

for the production of electric cars.

However,

when I called the contact number

of Suoro Network Technology,

I ended up getting through to an Indian restaurant.

How did that company

pass through risk assessment

with that kind of qualification?

There’s also a so-called

bio-tech company called

Sage Genetics.

Their stockholder is called Flying Shark Bio-Tech.

In the past, there’s been a complaint

that the company added antibiotics

to a TCM oral liquid illegally.

Within the past three months,

Lowe & Magnolia

falsified accounts for this company

and raised a hundred million

through online lending platforms.

Is that true for

all of their products?

Not all of their products.

At first, the projects they invested

are somewhat reliable.

Their rate of return

is also within a reasonable range.

But the problems became particularly serious last year.

Besides these two products,

90% of

Lowe & Magnolia’s products

are long-term products.

It’s not time

for centralized payments yet.

Therefore, the problems haven’t been exposed yet.

If they make their payments on time,

there shouldn’t be

any problems, right?

Even if there’s a problem,

Ms. Lan is in charge of

such a massive corporation.

Will she just wash her hands of it?

Before

the downfall of this product from

the online lending platform

gets exposed,

that’s what everyone would think.

Therefore, I think we should

reconsider our contract

with the Association of Women Entrepreneurs.

A few of their products

are already due for payment.

Let’s wait and see.

It’s too late.

We still haven’t sent out the contract yet, right?

It’s already been sent.

Wu Fei,

tell the messenger to cancel the delivery

on that contract

with the Association of Women Entrepreneurs

that was sent out yesterday.

Do it right now.

Counselor Qin.

I haven’t arrived at the office yet.

I’ll check on that for you

as soon as I get to the office.

I can do that myself by the time you come.

Think of something now.

Hurry up.

Counselor Qin.

What happened?

I’ll tell you later.

Which one of you have

the Receptionist Annie’s number?

How do you intercept a package?

It should be in the corporate contact list.

What’s wrong?

I have to verify a contract.

The other party is in a hurry.

I’m ten minutes away

from the law firm.

I can go check for you.

I’ll repay your kindness with a feast.

I have it. Treat me to that feast.

I’m going upstairs now.

Did you

forget something?

No, I have everything here.

Think again.

I need to go.

Your phone!

Keep me in mind at all times.

You wish.

Take it easy.

Hello, Annie?

I’m Wu Fei from the Family Dispute Department.

I have something to ask you.

Found it. Thanks.

Yes,

something came up on our end.

We need to cancel the delivery.

I just delivered it.

Please bring it back.

I’m sorry about that.

We had a problem with it.

Sorry for the trouble.

Okay,

please give our company

a call

and write a remark that you want to cancel the order.

No problem.

Thank you. Thank you.

Wu Fei, you did great.

Mission accomplished.

Alright,

we intercepted the contract.

Qin Shi,

I’m asking you very seriously.

How reliable

is this analysis report?

Would you dare to

take responsibility for the numbers on here

and the problems it might cause?

Are you sure your conclusions

are accurate?

I was never wrong about

money and numbers.

I trust the author of this report

one hundred percent.

So, I can take responsibility for that.

Ms. Tang,

don’t agree with anything

she says or does.

None of it is true.

Keep quiet.

Ms. Tang.

Li Dai, what are you doing?

Don’t touch me!

Qin Shi,

you’ve really crossed the line this time!

I usually let you win.

Do you really think

you’re the second in command here?

How did you let me win?

Did you let me win because you can’t outargue me?

Is this a spiritual victory?

In any case,

I already have an agreement with Zhao Danping,

I don’t care what you do,

you have to

send this contract out.

What if I don’t?

If you don’t,

you’ll be responsible

for losing a big client.

I will.

Qin Shi,

what exactly did you say to Ms. Tang?

Tell me about it,

so I can learn something

from the most eloquent speaker

of the Family Dispute Department.

If you can’t persuade me

like the way you persuaded Ms. Tang,

I won’t spare you.

I don’t need you to spare me.

Look at it yourself, Crook.

Who’s the crook?

Hello, Jin.

Where are you now?

I’m already

on my way to the airport.

I saw your message.

Don’t worry.

I’ll discuss strategies with you

when I come back.

Are you alone now?

Qin Shi and Li Dai are both here.

We can leave

if you need.

No, you should stay.

Yihui,

be honest with me.

Did you invest in

Lowe & Magnolia?

Yihui,

I’m not holding anyone responsible now.

I have to know

the worst-case scenario.

Did you?

Mr. Jin, Ms. Tang said she did.

How much?

How much?

Twenty-five…

million.

I’m coming back right now.

Before I come back,

this matter

is strictly forbidden to leave this office.

Back to the office.

Okay, Mr. Jin.

Yang, I really must thank you.

The tip you provided

was really accurate.

They announced an equity turnover

a few days ago.

That pulled up

several raising limits all at once.

Today’s coffee

will be on me.

You’re welcome.

I bought an awesome

finance product too.

It’s handled by an overseas fund company

who invested in an electric car project.

You’ll be shocked if I tell you

the monthly interest I get.

Why didn’t you tell us

about such a great product?

It’s useless even if I tell you.

This product is not open to the public.

My son

has a client.

He’s a big shot.

My son

has a pretty close relationship with him.

That’s why he got a small share.

The investors are all moguls

who are worth hundreds of millions.

What we have

is just a little bit.

No, no.

You mean two-wheeled?

Zhou.

What?

What you talked about

is Lowe & Magnolia, right?

That’s right.

Yang,

you are quite well-informed.

What do you guys think?

Judging by the contract,

this investment

doesn’t seem very problematic.

And the third-party company also

took out a large piece of land

as collateral.

Up to now,

they’ve been paying the earnings in time.

If we don’t have any evidence to prove

there are credit and qualification problems

with Suoro Network Technology,

we might have to pay

a large penal sum

for early redemption of funds.

What do you think?

I disagree.

From Lowe Magnolia, Suoro Network Technology,

to Flying Shark Bio-Tech,

each of these companies

is just an empty title.

We’ve never seen

what they really look like.

Even with a third-party guarantee,

we still don’t know whether that land

is worth anything or

if it also has property rights issues.

I agree with Qin Shi.

I already sent someone to verify

the situation of that land.

But based on my experience,

it’s not optimistic.

Say no more.

Our law firm engages

in lawsuits every day.

We’ve seen contracts like this

all the time.

Why didn’t you

discuss it with me?

If people find out

that Honesty & Prudence has been scammed,

that would be the biggest joke

on earth.

I really can’t figure it out.

You tell me,

Ms. Lan is so rich.

Why would she be a swindler?

Ms. Tang,

Zhao Danping called.

She probably wants to ask about the contract.

Don’t take the call.

What can I say if I answer it?

I even made such an effort

to cozy up to them.

What now?

Counselor Qin,

can you tell me the truth?

Where did you get this report?

Who wrote it?

Because I need to make a decision right now.

The credibility of this report

is very important.

This report

was written by my husband Yang Hua.

I remember

your husband is an investment adviser, right?

He’s very familiar with things like that.

He was the first one to remind me

about the problems in Lowe & Magnolia.

Have you told

anyone else about this

besides your husband?

No.

Hello, it’s me.

Go ahead.

I’ve already confirmed the situation of that land.

That land does exist.

However, it has been mortgaged too many times

to be used as collateral.

Counselor Qin,

I need you to do one thing for me.

I hope your husband

can keep all the data and information

he saw confidential

and do not tell anyone about it.

Can you do that?

I understand.

Stay calm.

Keep quiet

while there aren’t

any problems with payments

at the moment.

No matter what you do,

even if we have to pay a penal sum,

we must get the money back.

That’s not possible.

There’s an abundant funding

behind it.

The boss of its Chinese partner company

is the chairman of Magnolia Corp.

How can it go out of business?

That’s not possible.

Zhou,

why are you getting so riled up?

Yang certainly has

his ways to get these tips.

Just hear him out, okay?

Fine, I’ll hear him out.

Well, tell me,

where did you get this from?

Wait a minute.

Hello.

Where are you?

I’m outside.

You didn’t mention

the Lowe & Magnolia matter with anyone else, right?

Did something happen?

Nothing happened.

Anyway, don’t tell

anyone else about this.

Don’t mention a word.

Why?

Don’t ask.

Anyway, don’t tell anyone

before we know what’s going on.

I’ll tell you the details when I get home.

That’s it.

Yang, tell me

where you

get this tip?

We know someone too.

About that,

I can’t say it now.

Yihui, are you in that much of a hurry?

The interest

is due in a week.

You’ll suffer a great loss if you pull out now.

Our project is

doing so well.

A lot of people

are waiting to invest in it.

If you pull out now,

you won’t be able to come back.

Ms. Lan, I know

you were just doing me a favor.

But Jin

suddenly decided

to open ten offices consecutively.

He didn’t mention it to me

at all in advance.

Of course, it’s my fault too.

I didn’t tell him

about the investment either.

When do you need the money?

If it’s convenient for you,

can it be this week?

Hello, Ms. Lan.

I think I can do that.

It’s not a large sum anyway.

But Pang is overseas now.

He won’t come back for a few days.

When he comes back,

I’ll ask him to prioritize that process.

Do you think it’s okay

to handle your matter this way?

Thank you so much, Ms. Lan.

Please notify me

when Mr. Pang comes back.

Sorry about that.

I’ll surely

apologize in person

when we see each other again.

Don’t worry about that.

We’re all in business.

We all have times when we’re in need of capital.

Don’t worry.

Okay.

Bye, Ms. Lan.

I’ll give you credit for that

and a thumbs up.

Two thumbs up.

Damn it!

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

I’m doomed.

Oh, no.

What’s wrong,

Counselor Li?

Are you feeling unwell?

Do you have a headache?

Why?

Do you have medicine?

No.

Drink plenty of water. It can cure everything.

Where are you going?

Going to get Ms. Tang’s signature.

Don’t go.

Ms. Tang is

not in the mood to sign anything.

Payroll slips.

She has to sign the payroll slips.

If I were you,

I will never mention anything

money-related

to Ms. Tang now.

Why?

The twenty-five million…

Keep your voice down.

Did something terrible happen?

Stop yelling.

She said she’s still able to pay it now.

We’ll know if it’s true

within a couple of days.

What if they can’t pay it back?

That’s what I wanted to ask you.

If they can’t pay it back,

how much would that affect our law firm?

It would have a great impact on our firm.

That money is all the liquid capital

of our law firm now.

I hope we can

get this money out before

Lowe & Magnolia’s downfall.

Push the contract?

Qin Shi is the hero now

and I was left

with all this mess.

What did I do to deserve this?

But you can’t

just avoid her like that.

What should I say then?

I’m sorry, Ms. Zhao.

In the near future,

your investor

will sue you.

We can’t share your weal and woe with you.

You’re

just too impatient,

understand?

I’ll tell you the truth,

this isn’t the first time.

We witnessed

your competition with Qin Shi

over the past two years, right?

In terms of competence,

you two are about the same.

However,

she’s just better than you

in terms of innate advantage.

She’s just better than you.

What advantage?

She’s married and she has given birth.

I’m single and childless,

right?

It’s not that I don’t want to get married.

I gave up

my personal life for work.

I understand, okay?

I understand all of that.

What about you?

It’s harder for women

to focus on her career than men,

right?

But you can’t just

spend your youth and energy

to build someone else’s empire

and end up getting nothing

for yourself.

It’s not good

if you have a meltdown.

Hello.

Li,

I’m sorry about last time.

Just now,

I got a phone call

from that man’s mom again.

She asked me to

get him another chance.

Don’t mention

that man from last time.

I already put him on my block list.

I paid the membership fee and became a VIP.

If that’s the kind of

services you provide

and the kind of men you introduced to me,

it’s not even close

to meet the standard on the contract.

I understand how you feel.

Last time

was just an accident.

It was the biggest mistake I made

since I was in the business.

I apologize.

I’m so sorry.

But that young man

is really good.

And he graduated from Fudan University.

This time,

I asked for a picture.

I’ll send it to you. You can look at it first.

If you’re

still not satisfied,

I’ll help you find another one.

I’ll send it to you now.

Forgive everyone.

But you can’t

just spend your youth and energy

to build someone else’s empire

and end up getting nothing

for yourself.

It’s not good

if you have a meltdown.

Does he look like his picture?

Don’t worry,

I’ve met that child in person.

He’s bright-eyed and handsome since he was a child.

When it comes to men,

their looks won’t change much

unless they’re bald and fat.

What’s his name?

I think his surname is Yang.

That’s right, Yang Hua.

“Yang” as in the sun.

I’ll send you his info later.

I’ll go verify it

with him first.

Wait to hear back from me.

Yang Hua?

Why does that sound so familiar?

My husband Yang Hua

wrote this report.

Yang Hua.

What a coincidence.

Ms. Tang and Mr. Jin asked to see us.

I asked a friend in finance

to look at that report

you wrote.

He said it’s very professional.

He seems to know your husband.

Really?

Does your friend work overseas too?

No,

he said he knows someone who works in finance.

His name is also Yang Hua.

He graduated from Fudan University.

But the name Yang Hua

is pretty common.

Maybe they have the same name.

Is the surname of

the person he knows “Y-O-U-N-G” ?

Yes,

and the last name is “H-U-A”.

My husband’s surname is “Y-A-N-G” .

There’s no problem with Honesty & Prudence.

I don’t know.

Mr. Wang,

some people just love to

stir up trouble.

Please take a seat.

Yes.

I was surprised to

hear that news as well.

Our law firm is doing fine.

Why should we

collaborate with Lowe & Magnolia?

Hello, Mr. Xia.

It’s been a long time.

Sure, sure. It’s a good time.

Thank you for your concern.

We are also confused

about why there would be a rumor like this.

We’ve never participated in

Lowe & Magnolia’s project.

I really don’t know about their situation.

Yes,

we really don’t have anything to hide.

Okay, sure.

Okay, that’s it then.

Okay, bye.

Jin,

boost me up, please.

I’m about to collapse

from answering

phone calls all day.

It’s killing me.

Most of my friends

are asking me about Lowe & Magnolia.

Let me ask you.

How did the news get out?

I was in your office

from 8 in the morning

till 2 in the afternoon.

I didn’t even have time to eat anything.

I just had a bite of chocolate

and read something

before I was summoned up here.

Are you sure your husband didn’t say anything?

I’m sure.

I… I was just thinking.

I ran into Qiao

when I went downstairs to buy some bread

and we had a chat.

What did you talk about?

Nothing, I just made some complaints.

But,

the entire office knows

that Qin Shi and I

are competing for the position of

legal counsel

for the Association of Women Entrepreneurs.

Qiao just advised me

not to be so impatient.

He told me to date someone

and balance my hormones.

How can you still manage to laugh?

Once something happened here,

the whole world knows

that Honesty & Prudence

has a limited liquid capital.

I’m even questioning if

there’s a hidden camera in this office.

I don’t think you should be too upset about it.

Sure,

the entire world

knows about this now.

But it’s not a bad thing

for us.

This way,

the pressure falls upon Ms. Lan.

She would have to

pay us the twenty-five million.

Otherwise, it will be detrimental to Lowe & Magnolia.

However, we would

surely offend Ms. Lan.

Now, I really wish

there’s a problem with Lowe & Magnolia.

Otherwise, we would certainly be

a shameless and vile company

that has no credibility

and speaks ill behind someone’s back.

Not just Ms. Lan,

I would offend

80% of women entrepreneurs

in all of Pujiang.

Eat something

and drink some water to calm down.

Transfer your calls

to my phone

and I’ll answer them for you.

Anyway, we aren’t the ones

who leaked the news.

We have a clear conscience.

It’s okay.

I can still

handle this situation.

You two go on with your work.

Call me if you need anything.

Do you know what I admire you

the most?

I think

you have a great psychological quality.

What do you mean?

If I were you,

I would go

set the story straight with Qiao.

Why should I go

set the story straight with Qiao?

You can disassociate yourself

from this, which just involves

Lowe & Magnolia.

But only four people know about

the twenty-five million.

Those two would never leak it.

It’s either me or you.

After I came back to the office,

they can easily check my surfing records

and chat records.

What about you?

It’s not necessarily true

that news can’t be leaked

when you’re in the office.

By the way,

what does your husband do again?

Financial investment.

I heard

news travels even faster

within that circle.

If my husband said he didn’t say anything,

then he didn’t say it.

Sometimes you can’t trust

everything a man says.

Not just about Lowe & Magnolia,

people even know about the financial situation

of our law firm.

My husband won’t know about that

no matter how capable he is.

Let me tell you,

Mr. Jin and Ms. Tang

are too involved

to think of that.

When they calm down,

they would certainly

realize something

even I can think of.

Hello, Qiao.

I have a very important

matter to discuss with you.

Hello, Mom.

Son,

what are you doing?

I just went grocery shopping and I’m going home to cook.

You’re cooking?

You really care about

your girlfriend.

But that makes sense.

Qin works so hard.

You should take care of her.

Mom,

why did you still ask the match-maker

to set up a blind date for me?

No, it wasn’t me.

Mom,

you know what happened.

Didn’t you

cancel that blind date last time?

You lost a chance.

But they charged

such an expensive membership fee,

they would have to provide services.

I haven’t contacted them recently.

They probably

still think you’re single.

But Son,

you’re free anyway.

It won’t hurt to go and take a look.

It’s fine if you just

keep it from Qin.

Mom, I’ve already told them

I have a girlfriend.

Besides, I think

it’s very unethical to

go on a blind date when I have a girlfriend.

That’s right.

You’re right, Son.

I’m on your side,

since you’re such an excellent man.

I saw the video

you sent me last time.

I’m happy to see

you two are so in love.

I also showed that video

to my besties

in the dance troupe.

They all said you’re a great match.

By the way,

I still don’t know where

Qin works?

I don’t have an answer

when people ask me.

That doesn’t seem right.

Qin Shi works

at a law firm.

Well,

which law firm exactly?

Why must you know the details?

Are you going to see her at work again?

No, I don’t have time for that.

Mom,

I’m already with Qin Shi

just as you expect,

and we’re getting along

very nicely now.

You’re happy with everything.

Please don’t

put a new twist to it.

She’s very busy with work.

Don’t bother her at work.

Isn’t Qin a lawyer?

I’ll spread the word for her

and refer clients to her.

She only takes big cases.

She can’t take cases

from your friends.

Alright, I need to go.

I’m almost there.

Come in.

Counselor Qin,

here’s the bill of complaint for Mr. Xiao’s divorce.

Okay.

It has to be sent out today.

Here.

What’s this?

I noticed you liked it.

It’s the egg-yolk shortcake.

I just bought them.

You can nibble on them

when you get hungry in the afternoon.

Thanks.

What’s your relationship with

Ximei Public Relations?

Do you know someone

who works there?

Someone I know pretty well

since my childhood.

Do you know

someone named Tao Junhui?

I think I’ve heard about him.

He’s a lawyer too, right?

He graduated from the same college as you.

What else do you know?

I also know his girlfriend

is the daughter of Ximei Public Relations’ president.

You know Counselor Tao?

We were only on the same debate team

when we were in college.

Do you still

need to know something else about him?

I know he works at

United Law.

Can you find out

which area he is mainly responsible for

and what cases he worked on?

Why do you want to know?

I suspect he has

a case from Lowe & Magnolia.

Inquire about it quietly

and give me an answer soon.

You can rest assured.

I’m leaving now.

Hello.

What’s wrong?

Judging by your tone,

why do I sound

so annoying?

What happened at noon?

Did someone upset you?

Enough about that.

Are you alright?

I’m just a bit irritable

and agitated.

I called to have a drink with you.

Have a drink?

What time is it?

I know you’re busy.

I’ll prepare

the liquor and food

and wait for you at your place.

Sure, I’ll try to get off work early.

Sure.

Let’s get hammered today.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

When did

a handsome boy

move to the 7th floor?

He’s also a family man.

Since when did you

get a handsome neighbor?

Handsome neighbor?

Answer it. Answer it.

Hello?

I just remembered

I have a lot of meetings today.

I might be very late.

Let’s take a rain check.

Is that so?

It’s alright.

I’m already at your place.

Someone is here to drink with me.

Hello, are you at home?

What exactly is going…

I’m home.

Don’t worry,

just focus on your work.

We’ll have a great time together,

right?

I’m not near-sighted.

I think

it is.

I don’t know.

Weren’t you there at the time?

Yes, I was.

But there were

a lot of people

between Counselor Qin and I.

I just saw…

What did you see?

I saw…

I saw Counselor Qin…

Kiss him?

Wait, why should I stare at

the reunited couple?

Why do you care so much about

what her husband looks like?

What’s wrong?

I’m curious.

Is that not allowed?

I just want to find a husband

who looks just like that.

Is that allowed?

But you might have a hard time finding one.

Why?

You make that clear.

Alright, alright.

You can find one easily.

You can go for

whoever you want.

You might not be busy today

but I really have a lot to do.

Can you

let me finish my work first?

Is that okay?

Isn’t there

a photo of Counselor Qin

and her husband on her desk?

Counselor Li?

What are you doing?

Going to see Counselor Qin.

She just left for an emergency situation.

It’s okay. You can go now.

Okay.

Tell me if you need anything.

The door is locked.
