Yi Yi.

Lawyer Chen, you’re here.

This is Qiu Ying.

-Hi. -Hello, Lawyer Chen.

Sorry to have kept you waiting.

No worries. Please sit.

Please sit.

-Here’s coffee. -Thanks.

Lawyer Chen. How’s Qiu Ying’s issue?

The situation is against you.

There’s no evidence to prove your innocence.

It’s getting more complicated,

and there may be compensation involved.

It doesn’t look like it’ll be a small sum.

What should we do?

Are we just sitting ducks?

The best bet we have now is a settlement.

Ji Xiang Kong and I will not be able to settle.

Look, Lawyer Chen.

Is there any other way besides me

looking for him?

The lawyer letter

was sent by the Chuan Qi team.

Ji Xiang Kong is their contracted team member.

He would listen to the team.

You can try looking for the team’s leader.

Sister.

Why are you here?

Something big happened. You won’t return my messages.

How can I not come?

Sister. You couldn’t pay the mortgage?

Stay out of my problems.

Sister. I’ve been looking out for you.

I know you were fired by You Xing.

Chuan Qi is also planning to sue you.

It’s not only me.

Dad -

is worried about you too.

Come home with me.

Enough. Don’t bring him up.

Don’t talk about home with me.

Xia Ling. I’m not as lucky as you are.

You have a home. I don’t.

-Sister. -Don’t call me that.

I don’t need your sympathy.

Don’t come here again.

How can I help you, Sister?

Not sleeping yet?

Not yet, Dad.

I’ll put it here for you.

What are you looking at?

Are you thinking about something?

No. What can it be?

No? So why have you been out

of it ever since you came home today?

Did you quarrel with your schoolmates?

Don’t worry. Your mother is asleep.

You can tell me anything.

It’s not about me. It’s Sister.

Your sister?

Yeah.

Dad. Sister is really in trouble this time.

What trouble?

You Xing fired her.

Good. It’s not a proper job.

She also owes a lot of mortgage.

Mortgage? She asked for it.

She’s capable, right?

Abandoning the family just like that.

Moving out just like that.

Dad. It was my fault that she moved out.

Don’t blame her.

Don’t speak up for her.

This has nothing to do with you.

Don’t contact her again.

We’ll treat her as if she doesn’t exist.

Don’t say that, Dad.

All these years, you’ve never

stopped thinking about Sister.

Plus, Sister really needs us the most now.

It’s getting late.

Get some rest.

Who’s there?

-Sister. -I thought I told you -

Why are you here?

Dad wanted to visit you.

Won’t you let us in to sit down for a while?

Why are the curtains

drawn in the middle of the day?

I’ve heard about what happened.

I wanted to find you a job.

You said no.

You were messing with this instead.

Now you’ve got fired.

Yes, I was messing with this.

I even bought a house.

It’s a little small, but it’s nice.

Now that you’re out of a job,

do you have money for the mortgage?

Xia Ling. You’re amazing.

You’ve gone and tattled.

No, Sister. I just wanted to help.

Your brother is just concerned about you.

I don’t have a brother.

My mother only had one daughter.

Dad, Sister. I’ll wait for you outside.

Go ahead and chat.

Ying. I know you may be angry at me.

But I’m your dad, after all.

It’s okay if you got fired.

It’s good. We can find you a proper job.

What isn’t proper about my job?

Do you know what people on the net

are still saying about you?

What people on the net say about me

has nothing to do with you.

I’ll handle the embarrassment myself.

I remember when I first left home,

I had already cut father-daughter ties with you.

You have neither right nor duty to care about me.

I didn’t want to.

But think of your mother.

If she knew you were like this -

Don’t mention Mother to me.

She knows how I’ve survived all these years.

She’s proud of me.

But you -

You know best what you’ve done.

What have I done?

When my mother was in the hospital,

lying alone on the hospital bed,

you didn’t care for her at all.

You were still with that woman -

It wasn’t like what you think!

I don’t want your explanations.

If you’re going to be like this, fine.

I’ll leave my bank card here.

Use it to pay up your mortgage

No need. I’ve already told you.

I’ll finish walking the path I chose.

It has nothing to do with anyone.

Least of all you.

Come,

this is for Mom.

-Mom. -Thank you, Dad.

Thank you, dear.

When I was 18, that morning,

he called me to his room.

‘High expectations for your child’.

This is?

What ‘dragon’ what ‘pulse’?

‘Come dragon go pulse’ (the details of a story).

That’s right.

That’s beautiful.

Come, take a break.

Are you tired?

Have some fruit.

You eat, Dad.

Dad. You obviously care for each other.

Why can’t you talk nicely?

I know all these years,

you’ve been trying to get your sister to come home,

and for us to reconcile.

You’ve done a lot. Thank you.

Was it because of my mother and me

that you two -

It has nothing to do with you.

You still don’t understand adult matters.

Let’s go.

What are you doing?

I’m going to buy everyone coffee.

What will you drink, Brother Qi?

No, thanks.

What a strange day.

What’s he doing?

I don’t know.

Want coffee, Brother Qi?

No.

Come.

I -

just wanted the number of your Manager Zhao.

Come, Brother Xuan.

Have some coffee.

Don’t play this with me. Let me tell you.

It’s useless looking for anyone now.

Do you know that the sponsors

have been going crazy recently?

The only way now is for Qiu Ying to step up,

clarify, and apologise.

How many times do I have to say this?

Qiu Ying was framed for the video uploading.

Do you have proof?

Not yet.

Why should I believe you then?

What attitude is this?

No.

It’s useless even if I believed you.

There are so many managers up there.

The team has to believe you.

Once I find proof,

look at how I’ll cut that liar Ji Xiang Kong.

Not so loud!

How could you scold him?

Do you know how much trouble this has caused Brother Kong?

How bad could it be? As bad as it is for Qiu Ying?

She was fired by You Xing because of this.

Did you know that?

Fired?

Ji Xiang Kong even said that Qiu Ying used him for views.

She doesn’t even have a job. What good would views do?

Are you all hare-brained?

Also, Qiu Ying is just a girl.

How can she have the capability to falsify that video?

Let’s assume that even if she did,

would she have been stupid enough

to upload it on her own computer?

Let me tell you. This was obviously

a setup and trap for your Brother Kong.

look at how I’ll cut that liar Ji Xiang Kong.

Qiu Ying was but a scapegoat.

Could you please use your brains?

You do seem to make sense.

Of course!

Think about it.

Who else did Brother Kong offend?

He’s offended many people.

Let me count.

Qiu Ying?

Hello, Qiu Ying? I’m -

What?

Wait. Wait for me to get there.

Where are you going?

Qiu Ying just sold her house.

Is Ji Xiang Kong happy now?

Wait, don’t go -

You aren’t drinking this?

She was fired and even sold her house?

Yeah.

I heard it myself

when Qiu Ying called Lu Yi Yi.

Lu Yi Yi even asked me for Manager Zhao’s number

to ask for a settlement.

Brother Kong.

I’m starting to believe that Qiu Ying didn’t do this.

I think something’s strange too.

The more complicated this gets,

the more it shows that someone is pulling the strings.

Brother Kong, remember when

Qiu Ying said her computer was hacked?

I think this could have been done by our competitor.

If this really wasn’t done by Qiu Ying,

I don’t think it seems like it was a competitor, either.

On the contrary, Zhao Yang’s demeanour

is out of the ordinary.

What did he do?

He’s always been strong at solving PR crises.

This time, he’s behaving strangely.

He hasn’t released

a single clarification on our official Weibo account.

When I suggested looking for Jeffrey,

he became very proactive, asking me to

train well and that he would look for him.

He doesn’t want you to meet Jeffrey.

That makes sense.

I really don’t understand.

You were so determined to buy this house.

And now you’re selling it just like this?

Maybe I wanted a home of my own too much.

But I understand now.

Even with a house, you might not have a home.

But -

But this house has been your dream.

How could you bear to crush it with your own hands?

My dad and Xia Ling came by today.

What? Your dad was here?

I thought you haven’t met

since you moved out when you were a freshman.

First time meeting him after so many years,

he told me he could pay the mortgage for me.

But I’d have to

give up the nonsensical jobs.

Actually, your dad is good to you.

Don’t sell this house on impulse and out of anger.

I’m not selling it out of anger.

Besides selling the house,

I don’t have any other choice.

I have to prove to myself that

I can overcome anything.

That’s why all these years,

I have never respected anyone but you.

But you’re homeless now.

I shall be generous and take you in then.

I knew you were the best to me.

Of course. Who else would be better to you?

Silly.

Alright, I’ll take this for you.

Come.

What are they doing?

Having a strategy meeting.

I’m going out for a little while.

If anyone looks for me, tell them

that I’m looking for Jeffrey.

Alright.

Manager Zhao. - You scared me to death.

Sorry, I didn’t knock.

No worries.

Come have a seat.

I’m alright.

I just wanted to ask if you’ve contacted Jeffrey yet.

Yes, I have.

Tonight, we’re meeting for dinner

to discuss the matters of his clarification.

I’ll go with you tonight.

I should be the one to apologise to him.

Sure. No problem.

Sure.

Manager Zhao, I forgot!

This -

I’ve arranged two training matches for Ji today.

I forgot.

How could you forget?

Xiang Kong.

I know that we’ve had scuffles before.

But you have to believe me that on this matter,

we’re on the same team.

Even if I had to give up my reputation,

I’ll definitely invite Jeffrey to step out

to clarify things publicly.

It’s not for you alone,

but for the whole company’s sake.

As for you, train well with your teammates tonight.

Fight to win the inner competition.

Fight hard to make people

who had looked down on you shut up.

Thank you, Manager Zhao.

-I’ll head back to training then. -Sure.

I’ll leave it to you.

Of course.

Please.

How was it?

Zhao Yang arranged two training matches for me.

He wants to hold me back.

You’ll lead the reserves in the matches first.

I want to see if he’s going to look for Jeffrey.

Got it.

Put the pillow up.

Great. Nearly there.

I’ll help you to arrange your

things over these few days.

In the future, this will be your nest.

It’s a little small. Please don’t mind it.

Thank you for taking me in.

I don’t have anything for you.

Please take these face masks.

Sure.

I wanted some masks anyway.

Thank you.

I went to look for Lin Yi Xuan yesterday.

He wouldn’t help out.

It’s okay.

I’ll look for Zhao Yang at Chuan Qi myself.

Aren’t you afraid that the people at Chuan Qi will eat you alive?

Look.

What’s this?

Zhao Yang’s car.

Zhao Yang’s car?

What do you mean?

You’ll know very soon.

So many cars. How will I find it?

Great. Ji Xiang Kong. I’ve found you.

86… 186…

No. You’re flaking on me.

Yes. I’ve arranged for a private room.

Fine. Whatever. Fine.

Hello, Manager Zhao.

I’m Qiu Ying.

Ah, Qiu Ying! What’s up?

I wanted to borrow a bit of your time.

I wonder if it’s convenient?

Please go ahead.

I wanted to talk to you a little

about Chuan Qi sending me a lawyer letter.

Aren’t you coming?

Manager Zhao.

The viral video of Ji Xiang Kong’s fight wasn’t uploaded by me.

Could you help me to explain it to your company?

Please, Manager Zhao?

Actually,I do think that this couldn’t have

been done by a little girl like you.

What about this?

I could release a statement

to say that Ji Xiang Kong didn’t hit anyone.

Why are you in a rush?

You haven’t eaten, right?

This was opened by a close friend of mine.

Why don’t we go in and chat while we eat?

Please don’t do that, Manager Zhao.

What about this?

There’s a steak place just ahead that’s delicious.

Let me buy you a meal. Let’s go. It’s close by.

Qiu Ying. You’re pretty. Know what to do.

Do you think that this matter can be resolved through a single meal?

No, Manager Zhao.

-No? -Don’t do this.

What are you doing? Don’t do this.

What are you doing?

Don’t touch me. Let go! I’m going to call the police.

Go ahead!

Don’t touch me. I’m calling the police!

Don’t do this! Let go of me!

Who is it?!

You -

Are you crazy, Ji Xiang Kong? You hit me!

Manager Zhao. Weren’t you going to meet Jeffrey?

Qiu Ying! Are you okay?

Don’t touch me!

Ji Xiang Kong!

You and Qiu Ying -

Just wait!

Qiu Ying!

Qiu Ying.

Let go of me.

Are you okay, miss?

Alcohol -

You can’t drink anymore. You could clear the bill first.

The bill? I have money.

Don’t drink anymore, Qiu Ying.

Why did you push me? I’m footing the bill.

Sorry about that. I’ll clear the bill with you later.

Sure.

Slow down.

How about this? I’ll pay you back.

Do you know what ‘priceless’ means?

Go foot the bill.

This was her mother’s necklace. She wasn’t pretending.

Go get the bill for me.

I’ll get the bill. I’ll get the bill for you.

Don’t sit on the floor, okay? It’s cold.

Leave me alone.

I’ll go get the bill. Come. Sit here first

Get up.

Don’t touch me!

Sit here. I’ll get the bill.

Sorry, how much is it?

-Qiu Ying! -Where’s the door?

Keep the change.

Please come again.

Don’t touch me!

Okay, I won’t touch you.

Where do you live? I’ll send you home.

I don’t have a home.

All thanks to you, you arrogant, disgusting moron.

Hey, I did save you just now, right?

If not for you, Ji Xiang Kong,

would I be at rock bottom right now?

I was just -

I was just pretending to be Gu Fang’s fan.

I was just trying to ride alongside you.

Did you have to harm me to this state?

Ji Xiang Kong. You’ve really hurt me.

I have no home. No job.

Everything I’ve worked for is gone.

Are you happy? Are you satisfied?

I’m sorry. It was my fault. Go ahead and scold me.

Don’t say sorry to me.

We have nothing to say to each other.

You -

and Zhao Yang.

Your whole team is full of scum.

Didn’t you want to sue me? Come. Sue me!

I’ve never been afraid of anything!

One day, I will make all of you apologise to me!
