Put me down!

I can't believe you're late.

Put me down!

Let me introduce you.

This is my childhood friend,

Wu Fei.

Fei, this is my boyfriend,

Cao Yiren.

Hello, Wu Fei.

Nice to meet you.

Hello.

Fei’s dad and my dad

have been buddies for years.

That’s why Fei

agreed to be

our bridesmaid.

Really?

That’s great.

You’ve done us a great favor.

Thank you so much.

Fang has been worried about

not finding a suitable bridesmaid.

That’s good.

I finally don’t have to hear her complaints

and nagging anymore.

Cao Yiren,

what’s going on?

What did you say?

I’m just kidding.

Let’s go.

Let’s go.

You went to see Cao Yiren today?

When?

I went early this morning.

Can you discuss it with me

before you do that?

Will you agree if I told you?

Don’t worry.

I went

as Fang’s bestie.

I just want to see

what kind of person

is this Cao Yiren.

Instead of making presumptions

on whether he’s real or fake

every day,

it’s more accurate to get some

first-hand information.

Don’t you want to know

what I found out?

Ask me now.

Something is definitely fishy about that guy.

I don’t know if I’m too lucky

or if he has really bad luck.

But I found something juicy about him

the first day I followed him.

Pleasant cooperation.

Pleasant cooperation.

Sir, your wine glass.

Mr. Cao, let’s have a pleasant cooperation.

Cheers.

It’s normal for you to go to places like that

when you’re entertaining clients.

What did they talk about?

Financing.

He wants to be listed.

The group of them

was talking, drinking, and singing.

They all seemed gentle and normal,

at least that was true at first.

And then?

And then,

you know,

when men get tipsy,

they would become

more vivacious.

Cao Yiren became vivacious too?

As for him….

Pick up the phone.

Are you here yet?

I’m here.

I’m looking for you.

Where are you?

In front of the private room.

I don’t see you. Where are you?

You mean that woman?

Let me tell you,

he brought

that woman home that night

and they didn’t come out all night.

That woman’s name is Ding Fang.

She’s Cao’s fiancé.

Really?

Yes.

I was wondering why

they didn’t seem like adulterers.

Pay me back for the fried chicken.

No, you can’t do that,

right?

You didn’t give me

all the information

before you asked me to follow Cao Yiren.

I came back with

intel within 24 hours.

What else do you want?

Dude,

what kind of intel is that?

I never said

that woman is proof against Cao Yiren,

right?

I’m just saying,

by taking his fiancée

to a place like that,

Cao Yiren

is quite an honest

and charming man.

Fang said he would

always tell her whenever

he has a social engagement.

Also, Fang was the one

who found a lot of the venues for social engagements.

All thanks to her dad

for raising

her tolerance in that aspect.

Sometimes

when he really can’t get out of something,

Fang is the one who comes to his rescue.

His business partners

all know about this.

Didn’t you go to

gather first-hand information?

Why did you hear everything from her?

I didn’t just hear things from her.

I surely observed them too.

If you want to know

whether a couple has a good relationship,

you need to observe

the way they get along.

Tell me,

how do they get along?

They interact very naturally

and pleasantly.

Plus, Fang is very happy.

They seem like

an amorous couple.

You have no idea

how arrogant Fang used to be.

She studied at a very famous

art academy overseas.

She’s extremely proud and arrogant.

That’s why she is having a hard time

finding a bridesmaid now.

I had to offer myself

before she was willing to tell me.

But Fang does seem

humbler

and considerate nowadays.

I think you’re the most considerate one.

If you put it that way,

Cao Yiren is the one

responsible for Fang’s change?

I think…

I don’t think there’s anything

more powerful in the world

than love.

That’s why…

That’s why what?

It must be true love between.

Cao Yiren and Ding Fang,

just like us.

Wait a minute.

That’s it?

Basically.

Didn’t you say

you think there’s something fishy about Cao Yiren?

That was true at first.

But now,

it doesn’t seem like

too much of a problem.

But don’t worry,

I have another lead

and I’m waiting for the results of the investigation.

I don’t know if that’s valuable yet.

Wait, don’t go silent.

How about this?

If we really can’t find anything,

maybe we should

set a trap for him.

What trap?

Look,

we test women with money, right?

What do we use to test men?

With women.

I really want to set a trap

for you now.

Do you think someone like Cao Yiren

would fall for that?

He…

Wait, who are you?

You think Cao Yiren left with nothing

when he divorced his ex-wife?

Actually, the asset

wasn’t his to begin with.

His ex-wife is named Jessica Chen,

Chen Yunen,

a Canadian citizen.

Her parents are both from Taiwan, China.

Her father is a famous

Chinese architect in Canada.

Her mother is a gynecologist.

She graduated at the top of her class with a music degree.

Their family is a typical middle-class family in Canada.

All of her uncles

are in business.

Their family is very well-to-do.

She had her own family fund

when she was 18 years old.

Before Cao Yiren married her,

he was just an aspiring young man

who lives on his scholarships

and grants.

Wait, where did you

get that info?

Chen Yunen’s mom might

seem like an ordinary gynecologist.

In reality, the hospital she works at

belongs to her mom’s family.

Before they were married,

Cao Yiren signed

a prenup.

The apartment he’s staying at,

the vacation home,

the yacht, etc.

are all his wife’s assets.

During the three years of their marriage,

Cao Yiren didn’t have a job.

Even his startup fund

was provided by his ex-wife.

For three years,

he basically had no income.

That’s why he was penniless

when he got divorced.

So, did he get a divorce because

his ex-wife cheated on him?

That’s right.

Not only that,

the one who his wife had an affair with

was Cao Yiren’s buddy and business partner.

Hey, dude. Who are you?

That man came from a much better

background than Cao Yiren.

His family is in the steel business.

This ordeal was pretty famous

within the local circle of rich Chinese people.

Also, I did a thorough background check

on that Cao Yiren too.

He came from a very ordinary family.

His father is an accountant

and his mom is a housewife.

His father worked in the local Chinese quarter.

However, Cao was very intelligent.

Not only did he get a full scholarship in college,

he even worked part-time to earn his living expenses.

If he was in China,

he would certainly be an inspirational young man

from a humble family.

After he graduated,

he did work on Wall Street.

However, he only worked there for a year

before he quit and got married.

Dude,

how are you sure

that his resume is real?

This is the confirmation letter

I received from the company in Canada.

They gave him a really good comment too.

Cao Yiren moved up the social ladder

with his own efforts.

However, there’s one problem.

Both his ex-wife and current girlfriend

are either from well-to-do

or well-respected families.

Is that a coincidence?

Is it too arbitrary

to make such a judgment

after you saw him once?

Actually,

I asked him directly.

What did you ask him?

Here.

Thank you.

You’re welcome.

Where’s Fang?

She forgot to put on sunscreen

and went back in the car.

Fang really changed a lot.

I can tell she’s very happy.

Of course.

I love her so much.

She must be happy.

Are you going to sign the prenup?

You’re very direct.

Did Fang tell you?

I think she’s very troubled

over that matter.

I haven’t decided yet.

Do you think

I should sign it?

I’m Fang’s friend.

I certainly think you should sign it.

At least she won’t have

too many conflicts with her dad that way.

After all, marriage is for life.

No one wants to leave any regrets.

For Chinese people,

family is very important.

I’ve been through a marriage

and had a child before.

I understand that very well.

Fang is my family.

She’s the only one

I love and care about.

I want to do my best

to make her happy.

But her dad

is not my family.

It doesn’t matter to me

whether he’s happy or not.

If Fang tells me

signing this prenup

will make her happy,

I will certainly sign it.

If it’s for somebody else,

I’m sorry,

I can’t do that.

You did very well today.

Order anything you want. It’s on me.

Thank you, Counselor Qin.

Waiter.

What are you doing?

Man, what were you talking about?

Oh, I remember.

Both his ex-wife

and current girlfriend

are either from well-to-do

or well-respected families.

As to whether

that’s a coincidence,

I can answer you now.

What did you

call Cao Yiren?

A professional gigolo.

That’s a bit too much.

Although his ex-wife

and his girlfriend

are both rich.

that’s such a heavy accusation.

You have to have proof.

Look at

this watch.

Do you know how much is

this watch?

How would I know?

Let me check.

There is

a unique number

for each of these models.

You can check on its detailed purchase information.

That’s very clever.

Where did you get that number?

Cheers.

Sir, I’ll fill it up for you.

What’s wrong with you?

I’m sorry.

I’m sorry, Sir.

I didn’t do it on purpose.

I'll take you to get cleaned up.

You can drink with them first.

I’ll go clean up in the restroom.

Do you need my help?

It’s okay.

I’ll go with you to the restroom

and clean it up.

I’m really sorry.

Let me get you a towel.

I’m fine.

Give me your clothes.

I’ll wipe it.

Let me change a towel for you.

Thank you.

She bought it for him.

I checked on them.

Their family is in the hotel business.

Although it’s not

as fancy as the Hiltons,

she’s at least a rich woman.

What kind of relationship

would allow you to receive

a watch that’s worth hundreds of thousands

as a gift?

They must have a special relationship.

Besides,

I found more than three

cases like this.

There must be more that I wasn’t able to find.

That means this Cao Yiren

only dates rich girls.

Is it a crime to like money?

Cao Yiren studied business.

He’s bound to make contacts with rich people.

Even if he’s after their money,

background, and connections,

are these rich people stupid?

Why would they agree to marry their daughters to someone like that?

They see potential in Cao Yiren

and value his competence.

Besides, love is consensual

between the two of them.

How can you call him

a professional gigolo?

You’re pretty incisive.

Speaking of that, Cao Yiren’s situation

is very similar to yours, Tao Junhui.

Can you not get carried away?

You said it yourself.

Even if he’s after the money,

it doesn’t mean it’s not true love.

Besides, no matter how many girlfriends.

Cao Yiren has,

he’s not married,

it doesn’t count as adultery.

Besides, he treats his fiancée

very sincerely too, right?

You can’t judge him

from the moral high ground.

What we need to do now

is to draft up the prenup.

Whether he signs it, that’s his business.

Let me tell you,

Cao Yiren is coming to the law firm today.

Today?

This case isn’t hard.

Be quick with it.

What do you want?

I reinvestigated it for you.

For what?

My wife’s cousin

is from PUPSL too.

He’s from the same year

as that Tao Junhui.

I asked around about.

Tao Junhui’s character for you.

Do you want to hear it?

Do you want to hear it?

I’ll leave if you don’t.

I knew you want to hear it.

You’re just embarrassed to admit it.

Let me tell you,

that Tao Junhui…

He’s actually…

He’s better than we imagined.

He was admitted

to PUPSL as a top student

in math and science.

He finished four years of credits

within three years,

passed the bar exam on his first try,

and got the best score too.

He had a girlfriend

when he was in college.

That girl did everything she could

to pursue him.

Guess how that girl

got him to say yes in the end?

You should go.

No, I’m not finished yet.

Take a guess.

You would never guess it.

That girl

took him as an example,

studied really hard,

viewed him as a role model,

and broke his record on a lot of exams.

Tao Junhui

participated in four debate competitions

while he was in college.

The only time he didn’t

get the Best Debater Award

was because it went to this girl.

At last, the girl eventually got her dream boy.

You tell me,

the love between these

overachievers really shocks

underachievers like me.

Anyway,

this Tao Junhui

is like a god.

One word to describe him, outstanding.

Two words to describe him, incredibly outstanding.

If you appreciate him so much,

I can introduce you.

Sure.

I think that’s a great idea.

He’s our potential…

Potential…

Are you still giving Counselor Qin the silent treatment?

Do you really think

there’s something between him and Counselor Qin?

Nonsense.

I never suspected Qin Shi.

I never thought.

I could look at the view on the 11th floor

in this status.

You’re already in the Corporate Department.

It sure works to take the roundabout way.

Get a promotion and pay raise from job hopping.

I’m not as stubborn

as someone

who never changes.

Counselor Li is Mr. Cao Yiren’s

legal representative.

Is Mr. Cao coming today?

I’m sorry, I almost forgot.

This is the power of attorney.

I am fully authorized to handle

all negotiations regarding.

Mr. Cao and Ms Ding’s prenuptial agreement.

Mr. Cao has to handle his business

and prepare for the wedding.

He really doesn’t have time.

Besides,

it’s not

a big deal anyway.

After all, it’s Ms. Ding’s father

who’s asking him to sign the prenup.

I asked.

Ms. Ding about it.

She said she respects Mr. Cao’s choice.

Mr. Cao said he’ll sign if she wants him to sign.

What a game

of passing the buck.

That’s very interesting.

Counselor Qin,

you’re the only

married one in this room.

You and your husband are so in love

and you’re so happily married.

You should

understand them very well.

That reminds me.

I am indeed

the only married person here

and I’ve signed

a prenuptial agreement.

I take full responsibility

for telling you that

a prenuptial agreement

will not damage your relationship.

Instead, it’s a show

of maturity and intellect.

If a couple considers

the ugliest and most awful situation

that might happen

during their marriage

before they engage in holy matrimony,

they will be

prepared for anything

that might happen

in the future.

People are afraid

of the unknown.

The prenuptial agreement

is meant to eliminate

this kind of fear.

Very well said.

In that case, let’s get to work.

We just need to go over the contents.

If there isn’t a problem,

we can take care of this within a couple of days.

But this agreement

involves the privacy of the client,

can you make a decision for Mr. Cao?

No problem.

I can answer

any questions you have.

Besides,

haven’t you already done

a thorough background check

on all of Mr. Cao’s info already?

What kind of info?

Counselor Qin,

I haven’t left Honesty & Prudence

for too long.

I’m very familiar

with your work style

and the style of this firm.

Mr. Cao grew up overseas.

His romantic history,

social circle, and his past marriage

are all public.

There’s nothing to hide.

Ms. Ding is aware of that as well.

By the way,

Ms. Ding

and his ex-girlfriend...

What’s her name again?

The one who gave him the watch.

Doris Tao.

You can call her Tao Lisi in Chinese.

Doris Tao,

this English name

is very hard to remember.

But there’s one thing

you might not know.

Ms. Ding

met Mr. Cao

through that Doris Tao

and Doris Tao’s father

was a big client of Mr. Cao’s

when he worked at Wall Street.

Mr. Cao made

a lot of money for her father

from the stock market.

Therefore, this watch

was a gift of appreciation.

Don’t think everyone

who approaches rich people

has an ulterior motive.

That’s the same

as judging someone by their looks.

It’s too low.

Let’s renegotiate

this agreement.

By the way,

Mr. Cao told me

to tell you something.

Wait a minute.

Where’s my phone?

Found it.

Actually,

I don’t need to prove the love

between Fang and me with a piece of paper.

And I don’t need

to convince anyone.

I’ve been married

and divorced.

Before I met Fang,

I was certain

that I won’t get married again.

The reason most people stay single

is that they haven't met someone

worth giving up their principles for.

To me,

Fang is that person.

That Cao Yiren is so crafty.

He found Li Dai

to be his legal representative.

I will never believe it

if you said it was just blind luck.

You’re still here?

I can’t bring myself to leave

until I’ve witnessed the entire process

of you being bullied.

My life

is not complete.

My greatest career goal

is to be a librarian.

I didn’t expect

you to fulfill my dream.

If you still want to do that,

it’s still not too late.

Don’t eat that.

I’ll buy you lunch.

No, I’m on a diet.

You eat egg yolk shortcakes on a diet?

Don’t you want to

hear about Cao Yiren?

What are you looking at?

I’m just looking around.

I’m just looking around.

Do you think I’m stupid?

Yang Hua, let me tell you.

I won’t meddle with anything else you do.

But do not touch Fang-Yu Finance.

Don’t even look into it. Do you hear me?

Why?

What do you mean why?

Mr. Qiu of Fang-Yu Finance

is an honored guest of the Credit Department.

The Credit Department is even

treating Mr. Qiu to lunch.

I know

you have beef with Mr. Qiu before.

I don’t care what kind

of problems you had,

from now on,

stay away from Fang-Yu Finance,

okay?

Mr. Qiu is the boss of a financial company.

Logically, he should be treating

credit companies to lunch.

Why is the Credit Department

treating him to lunch?

Exactly.

As you know,

Mr. Qiu has been in the financial industry

for over 30 years.

What makes him most proud?

It’s not about how great a trader he is.

Instead, it’s his connections

within the finance

and business network.

Why does your bank

want his connections?

Songjiang is building

a new energy city.

You know that, right?

You know about New Energy City, right?

I’ll tell you a stock.

I’m telling you,

this is a giant,

centralized core project

called CCHP,

which is combined cooling, heating and power.

In simple terms,

it’s a new type

of power plant

that not only supplies electricity,

but also provides heating, cooling, and hot water.

Think about it,

it provides cooling, heating, and hot water.

That’s a project that can definitely

change the living conditions of human communities.

Currently, this project

is already used in industrial fields.

But I believe it can be

used for commercial

and civil purposes soon.

Come to think of it,

such a game-changing project

is pretty nice.

It’s pretty nice.

The expected return

for this project is very, very high

and they have

sufficient capital at hand.

It’s an important client

of the Credit Department at the bank.

I heard

the project manager

is on friendly terms with Mr. Qiu.

Jia

set his mind on

taking a share of the profit.

Otherwise, the Credit Department

is used to being Party A.

Why would they treat Party B to lunch,

right?

Where are you going?

It’s time to eat.

Take me.

Shouldn’t you treat me to lunch?

You eat so much every day.

If you eat too much,

you would have to pay to lose weight.

What a hassle.

I have a great metabolism.

Based on authoritative statistics,

married people are

twice as likely to gain weight

than single people of the same age.

Therefore, even if

I eat twice as much as you,

we would only break even.

Tell me something useful.

What’s useful?

Cao Yiren.

Oh, him.

Even if I talk about him,

it won’t be

of any use to you.

After all, we are

on opposite sides.

I will never violate

the professional ethics of a lawyer.

You were acting so mysterious.

I thought

you had some inside scoop.

I don’t have any inside scoops.

But I do have some

inside advice.

Just give up.

Cao Yiren will never

sign the prenup.

Did Cao Yiren ask you to tell me that?

Is that necessary?

Why don’t you think about

what kind of person is Cao Yiren?

He’s the Wolf of Wall Street.

With superior EQ and IQ,

he has Ding Fang in the palm of his hands.

The two of us

really don’t need to waste our time.

Just go through the process

and negotiate the contract.

No matter how precise the agreement is,

he will never sign it.

I don’t believe that.

Suit yourself.

Let me give you some advice,

don’t try too hard

on this case.

Unless,

you don’t have any other cases to work on.

Sorry, I’m really busy.

I’m swamped by work.

Do you think Cao Yiren

loves Ding Fang?

How should I know?

I’m not the Civil Affair Bureau.

Even the Civil Affairs Bureau

would have to

issue the marriage license

even if one of them

cracked the other one’s

brain open the night before,

as long as both parties

consent to the marriage.

Just eat your food.

Qin Shi,

why do I feel like

you’re so lonely

after I left?

Who’s your competition?

How many rounds?

Who won?

I’m very mysterious.

Don’t try to pry.

You think I don’t know

if you don’t tell me?

I handed you to Yang Hua

very solemnly

when I left.

With your IQ,

you can forget about any great ambitions.

You would be so lucky

to end up with a whole corpse

in the Corporate Department.

Wait a minute.

What do you mean by handed me to Yang Hua?

Do you think you can do it yourself?

Yang Hua is at least intelligent,

okay?

Are you really planning to let him

stay home and be a trophy husband

instead of playing to his strengths?

Did he leave you on your own?

That’s not possible.

I saw him reading lawbooks

very diligently a while ago.

You mean… Yang Hua…

Yang Hua is studying law on his own?

What?

You want me to give you a list of books?

You can start

with the required courses

for law students

or start from

the financial and economic-related laws.

Why?

Are you changing your career to be a lawyer?

I just want to read more books

to expand

my knowledge on reserve.

Qin Shi,

tell me the truth.

Did you

pull out your professional knowledge

to overpower Yang Hua?

Have you studied law?

Do you know how to be a lawyer?

If not,

what makes you think

you can teach me

what to do

and what not to do?

I don’t need to diss him.

Do you not know yourself

or do you think

I don’t know you enough?

Your biggest flaw

is your ambition,

which is also your biggest strength.

I want to correct that.

It’s called motivation.

Don’t you have that?

Would you be willing

to find any law firm,

work on trivial cases,

or just

be a housewife

and stay away from the troubles

in the workplace?

I am so willing to do that.

My biggest dream

is to find a husband

who can support me.

Once I find him,

I’ll quit my job right away

and never step into the workplace again.

I’ve thought it through.

I need to learn from you.

In front of strong willpower

and faith,

nothing is impossible.

Therefore….

Therefore, I will definitely make.

Cao Yiren sign.

You? By yourself?

I think it’s better

to wish for a dragon.

Even with Yang Hua,

I don’t think you can wish

for two dragons.

I don’t mean to pop your bubble.

Don’t you think

that Cao Yiren

is another Pang Dingfang?

You’re holding the candle to the devil.

Won’t your conscious come

to haunt you in your sleep?

It really won’t.

I’m Cao Yiren’s legal rep.

I’m striving for my client’s

legitimate rights.

Therefore,

all his mess

has nothing to do with me.

I don’t have any

moral pressure either.

You don’t have to play tricks with me.

It’s useless.

Take it.

If you really want to

investigate a company’s asset report,

this data is far from enough.

Okay.

Hello, Miss.

May I introduce our products for you?

Okay, let’s take a seat in the room.

Yearly payments?

Why must I make annual payments?

Mr. Zhao,

you’re renting

a quality business apartment.

We require an annual payment.

If you make an annual payment for 12 months,

you can stay for 14 months.

If you divide that equally,

it’s already cheaper than other places around here.

Besides,

we also include a weekly cleaning service

and butler service.

But you said I can make monthly payments before.

We offer

monthly payments

as a service.

Without any guarantees,

we can provide a rental loan

for 12 months.

That way, you can make monthly payments.

Would you like to apply for that?

Hello,

can I get a loan

to rent an apartment here?

Yes.

It’s a unique service we provide.

If you need,

I can introduce the plan to you.

Miss, have you made your choice?

I can introduce our plans to you.

Okay.

Okay.

Mr. Tao,

this house

has been undergoing renovations for a month.

Don’t worry,

all the materials we use

are from brand name companies

and completely environmentally friendly.

I’ve also checked the utilities and gas.

I already recorded

the numbers for you.

There’s a door here.

If you don’t have any more questions,

I’ll be on my way now.

Thank you.

Time to eat.

You have no appetite?

It’s not that.

How’s it going with your case?

I already finished drafting up the agreement.

But I think

it’s not easy to get his signature.

My instinct is telling me

there’s something fishy about it.

I will figure it out.

You look a bit dull today.

No, that’s how I usually look like.

I’ll go get some soup.

Tell me the truth.

Did you pull out

your professional knowledge

to overpower Yang Hua?

I think it’s better to wish for a dragon.

Even with Yang Hua,

I don’t think you can wish

for two dragons.

Is he really holding a grudge?

But I didn’t do anything.

Do you have something

to tell me?

No.

Really?

No.

I’m full.

Why don’t you just have a fight?

You should at least

talk these things out.

Besides, you need to

know the position you’re in.

You’re between a rock and a hard place.
