[Episode 8]

If you have no objections,

I'll contact the embassy

to book tickets for us.

Xu, what do you think?

You can go. I'm not leaving.

No.

What are you going to do?

I can't leave. I have to get the money back.

Don't worry. I...

Didn't I tell you just now?

I'll be responsible for your loss.

Besides, you lost nothing.

It's not safe for you

to stay here alone.

I've lost a lot.

No.

I don't believe

this is the only steel mill here.

-Xu. -I need to give it a try.

Why are you trying?

You can't even speak the local language.

Besides,

it's about tens of thousands of tons of steel.

You're just a girl.

How can you expect it to happen as you wish?

Don't be so stubborn. Listen to me.

Go back with us.

I'll bring you here again

when it's all sorted.

Ms. Xu, it’s not the time.

-Don’t always rebel against us. -Listen to us.

Right.

Just go back with us.

Well,

go back to your work.

Leave me alone.

-No. -Let me think about it.

Think about what?

Why can't you listen to us?

Xu.

You...

I...

Xu.

Leave her alone.

I shouldn't have brought her here.

What a bad temper.

Don't be mad, boss.

Calm down.

Please forgive her.

Maybe she is thinking of a way.

How about this?

How about

we sit down

and discuss this again?

Discuss what?

Let's go back to China!

Who's there?

Me.

What's wrong, Feng?

I thought you were asleep.

There's a Chinese restaurant

downstairs around the corner.

I thought you hadn't eaten,

so I ordered takeaway for you.

Thank you.

Come in.

Have you eaten?

Yes.

It's salty. Mix it.

Look at you.

Why did you go against Mr. Wu?

He asked you to go back for your own good.

Fine, I know what you think.

Of course you want to make money,

but life is also important.

Didn't you hear what the embassy guy said?

This place is a mess.

Even the police can't solve it.

How can you solve it even if you stay?

You're a girl.

Look.

Mr. Wu bought a return ticket

for you.

Although he always gets angry with you,

he actually cares about you.

Didn't we agree when we came here?

We're in the same boat.

Be good. Don't be stubborn.

Come back with us tomorrow.

OK?

Feng.

I understand what you mean.

But

my situation is different from yours.

I came here

with a bunch of debts

for building a storage yard.

How can I go back?

Those can crush me to death.

I also owe you guys money.

Right.

That's the truth.

But you can't work this hard.

I know you care about me.

But there are

a lot of people at the storage yard

counting on me.

I'm too ashamed to go back.

If you were me,

would you just go back like this?

Are you really not going back?

No.

That's all I have.

I'll leave them to you.

[Yang Jinkai]

The embassy's phone number is on the back.

Call him if anything happens.

I can't stop you.

If you can't solve the problem,

just stay for a few days and come back.

Okay?

Hello.

Hello.

Liar.

We haven't found the scammer.

You can ask them if you have any questions.

We've informed the embassy

of the situation.

how much money have we earned

after collecting steel scrap for all these years?

If we make a good deal this time,

we'll make a fortune.

Then we can make a comeback.

I think

we need to build a big parking lot here.

I'll get dozens of trucks then

and put them there.

Isn't it magnificent?

Here.

We can build a three-storey building.

A reception on the first floor

to welcome clients.

The second floor

is the office, only for business.

Of course. I'll pay you for what I borrow.

I'll pay you interest.

One million

at an annualised interest rate of 20%.

Okay.

But there's one thing, Mr Xu.

You can't give me less interest.

If you can give me one million,

I'll return your capital and the interest

after I go back with the steel scrap.

Do you have a long-term plan

since you want to collaborate with me for a long time?

Yes.

I'm planning to buy the land

near the storage yard.

I also want to

build a port

that could service ships of tens of thousands of tons.

Then the steel we import later

can be unloaded at our own dock.

In the future,

when our company becomes better,

I promise

we can eat together

and make money together.

Let's make a fortune together.

Okay, thank you, boss.

Thank you, boss.

Cheers.

Cheers.

I'm telling you.

Don't make mistakes

with the proportion of cement and sand.

Don't worry. I'm watching here.

Okay.

Don't worry.

I'll leave it to you.

Okay, no problem.

Mr. Chen.

Let's have dinner together tonight.

I've prepared some yellow wine.

Let's drink together.

Do you want to

talk about the salary?

It's almost New Year.

The workers kept pushing on me.

If you don't pay, it will affect the progress.

Well, ask them

to hold on for a few more days.

My boss has gone abroad.

It's been over a month.

She'll be back soon.

My storage yard is here.

What are you worried about?

I can't run away, right?

Yes, you can't.

How about this?

You can pay the construction fee later.

As for the salary, you...

Fu, please.

Hold on for a few more days.

We will build a port here

at the storage yard later on.

You know it's a big project.

I'll recommend you to my boss when she comes back.

Please.

Who are you?

You're awake.

Ms. Xu, Xu Banxia, right?

You fainted that day.

The staff at the hotel checked your passport

and called the embassy.

I brought the doctor here.

You're fine. Don't worry.

Who are you?

I'm Yan.

I'm studying at a music school here.

I work part-time.

It's Secretary Yang from the embassy

asked me to take care of you.

The embassy is so nice.

You even got me a doctor.

Hello, Mr. Yang, this is Yan.

Xu Banxia is awake.

Just for your information,

I think she's still quite weak.

Thank you.

Okay, no problem.

You must be hungry. What would you like to eat?

There's a Chinese restaurant on the first floor.

Do you have money?

I have money.

Fine.

Then I don't have to check on you everyday.

You can go downstairs and order food if you're hungry.

I have exams at school these days.

When are you going back?

Do you know

where I can buy steel scrap here?

Steel?

How should I know?

You can speak local language, right?

Yes.

How about this?

Can you be my translator for a few days?

I'll pay you, okay?

Sure.

No problem. I'm available anytime.

Let me buy you something to eat.

Okay.

Okay.

I'll be back soon.

Did any Chinese ever come here?

No.

Thank you.

No.

They shook their heads when talking about Chinese. No.

Can we talk

back in the office?

No.

Let's talk here.

Tell me.

Where is the money?

Didn't I tell you?

I was scammed in the North.

Ask Wu Jianshe if you don't believe me.

Ask Qiu Bizheng.

Who should I ask?

You are all in cahoots.

You're not telling the truth.

Ask Xu.

Ask Xu Banxia, okay?

OK.

Ask Xu Banxia to come back.

I'll ask her.

She's not back from the North.

You're lying.

Why are you back when she's not?

The New Year is coming.

Where can I go if I don't come back?

How do you want to celebrate the New Year without money?

I'm trying to figure it out.

Stop talking nonsense.

Tell me.

Did you give the money to a mistress?

Don't think I don't know

what you did

outside.

Tell me the truth.

Alright, keep your voice down.

Can you not say this

in front of my colleagues?

Don't you feel ashamed? Save some face for me, okay?

Save face for you?

Why can't you admit it if you dare do it?

Let me tell you.

Where did you hear this bullshit from?

You think it's bullshit?

Every time when I talk about this, you just run away.

Look how much we lost

in the past six months.

How long do you think the factory can hold on

before going bankrupt?

Until the New Year!

I know

you don't want to live with me anymore.

Listen.

You're in debt now.

You can't divorce me.

If you want to live with that mistress,

pay off your debt first.

By then,

we can divide our property

and split up.

The rise of steel price this year

is much bigger than before.

Under such circumstances,

we need to be more united

among partners.

No problem.

We need to trust each other even more.

Today is a thank-you banquet.

Wish you all good luck next year.

Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhao.

Let's move forward together.

Mr. Sun.

A toast to you.

Hello, everyone.

I heard you're here.

Cheers.

Thank you for helping my factory.

I'll treat you next time.

You're welcome.

Let me introduce a friend to you.

Mr. Qiu.

Mr. Qiu, right?

Let me introduce someone to you.

This is Zhao Lei, Mr. Zhao.

You are both in the same industry. You must know each other, right?

Why are you here?

I know you.

Aren't you supposed to be abroad?

We're all back.

All back?

Xu Banxia was still on the phone with me this afternoon.

What happened?

Mr. Zhao,

I wanted to tell you this,

but after thinking about it,

it's Wu Jianshe's business after all.

So I didn't go there.

We were scammed in the North.

Wu Jianshe's contact

is a liar.

Everyone came back after losing money.

Luckily,

we only lost the deposit.

What about Xu Banxia?

She refused to come back.

She said she must wait there

until the police catch the liar.

Then she can come back.

It'll be a long time.

But Mr. Zhao,

you have to be

mentally prepared.

Xu Banxia's situation

is different from ours.

We only lost the deposit.

We bought it.

But I heard

you gave her all the money

for those 15,000 tons of goods

and the transport and tax fee.

It must be worth over 10 million in total.

She has been showing off this

in the North.

Actually, she didn't lose money.

Instead, she has the 10 million you gave her

and just doesn't want to come back.

Well,

you can't trust someone easily

in business.

What do you mean?

Didn't you talk on the phone?

She really didn't tell you anything?

When we left that place,

it was freezing. The Spring Festival was coming.

Xu Banxia is alone.

She doesn't have any contact either.

She can't even speak local language,

yet she refused to come back.

But Mr. Zhao, don't worry.

If she's trying to defraud you,

you have me as your friend.

As long as you beg me...

Qiu Bizheng.

Who do you think you are?

You left Xu Banxia

abroad.

What are you doing?

Don't you feel guilty?

Mr. Qiu.

Hello.

Hello.

How are things going over there?

Is everything going well?

Mr. Zhao.

Everything goes well.

Okay.

How did you know my room number?

I met Qiu Bizheng yesterday

and called Feng Yu today.

Then...

Why didn't you

tell me the truth?

They're all back. You were scammed.

You call this everything going smoothly?

How?

Why are you still there?

Why don't you come back?

Tell me. When will you come back?

Xu Banxia, let me tell you.

I'm very angry now.

How dare you tell me nothing

about what had happened?

Is this how you treat your partner?

You're making me very upset now.

Understand?

Don't worry, Mr. Zhao.

I won't run away with the money.

I'm not being nice to you.

I just want to tell you that

I made the contract.

I signed the contract.

But I'm not someone

who would take advantage of others.

Listen.

You have plenty of chance to make money,

but you only have one life.

Chinese New Year is coming.

Come back.

Okay?

What's your chest circumference?

Hello.

Su,

how's everything going?

It's been so long

since you called me last time.

I'm abroad.

It's not as convenient as it is in China.

I've got some trouble here.

Let's talk when I come back.

What size do you wear?

I'm going to buy a leather coat.

I'll bring you one.

Just tell me.

Fatty, you finally showed up.

What's going on over there?

Xiaoqi?

Xiaoqi went to the Highway Bureau.

He has to take exams every half year

for his transportation and operation license.

It's not easy. He has to take exams.

But I have to tell you something now.

We can't afford the third payment

for our project.

The Spring Festival is coming.

We'll be in trouble if we still can't pay.

The construction team just told me

they were going to take the materials back.

When are you coming back?

You didn't even give me a chance

to explain.

I'll be back soon.

Okay, don't worry.

I'm here. Don't worry.

What's your chest circumference?

Chest circumference?

She said it's fox fur.

These hats look similar.

Yes.

But the leather goods here are really cheap.

Many Chinese clothing merchants

import clothes from here.

Hello.

What do you have here?

This one.

How much is it?

Do you want it?

Forget it.

Nina?

Shall we buy it?

Nina!

Liar.

What?

You liar! Stop!

Banxia!

Stop!

Banxia.

Stop!

Stop, Nina!

Stop!

Where is the money?

Where is my money?

Where is the money?

Let me explain.

Liar! Liar!

Where is my money?

Where is my money?

I don't know.

She said she doesn't know where the money is.

Let me explain.

I'm telling the truth.

You'll believe me after hearing me out.

She will tell you at the cafe.

Let me explain.

I don't know those people at all.

An agent reached me.

They paid me cash

to play the daughter of the owner of a steel mill.

I didn't know what that was for.

Why didn't I agree?

Then we went to the steel factory together.

Everything went well.

I don't know what's going on.

What do you want me to do now?

To be honest,

I just went to the factory with you.

I only took the money for acting my part.

What do you want?

What is she talking about?

She said

she got this job

from someone else.

A Chinese

hired her

to play the daughter of the owner of a steel mill.

That Chinese gave her cash.

That's all she said.

Stop talking nonsense.

Where is my money?

You cheated us out of so much money.

Don't act like you don't know.

She doesn't believe me.

If you don't tell the truth,

I'll send you to the police station.

You'll be in jail.

She's going to call the police.

It's useless.

I didn't take the money.

You have no evidence.

She said it's useless to send her to the police station.

You have no evidence.

I won't spare her either.

-She won’t let you go. -I’ll send you to jail.

I have a plan.

I have an uncle in Black Sea.

I know you're here to buy steel.

You need a lot of steel.

My uncle has steel.

You can buy as much as you want.

Really?

Of course.

She said she had a plan.

She knew you came here to buy steel.

She has an uncle who has steel scrap

in Black Sea.

You can go there tonight if you want.

And he has

as much as you want.

She's just an actress.

How can I believe her?

She also said there's some on the moon.

How can I believe her?

She doesn't believe you because you lied to her.

How can you prove that?

You lied to her.

You don't have to pay the deposit.

Let's go to Black Sea together.

After you check the goods,

when the goods are loaded...

She said you don't have to pay the deposit.

You can pay

after you see the goods on your ship.

And if you are not satisfied,

you can go straightaway.

Boss.

Don't go, Boss!

Boss! Boss!

Why are you avoiding us?

Right.

Come in.

Why are you avoiding us?

Mind your manners.

You all have phones.

Why didn't you make an appointment first?

Well...

You came here out of the blue.

Are you here to borrow money from me?

No.

Didn't you forget the deposit

for the import of steel scrap?

Of course not.

Qiu,

we've been friends for so many years.

Have I ever owed you money?

I said I would take care of it,

then I'll take care of it.

But it's harder for me than you now.

Boss,

my wife

doesn't believe

I was scammed in the North.

She insisted on saying I have a mistress outside.

Now she's going to divorce me.

You deserve it.

You can't even live your life well.

What else can you do?

Why do you keep picking on me?

Hello.

Babe.

I'll call you later.

I'm coming out.

-I'll talk to you outside, babe. -See?

He'll be doomed sooner or later.

Forget about him.

Boss.

How about this?

As long as you can get us some steel,

let's overcome the difficulties first.

Do I look like steel?

You don't have money even if I have steel.

Did you get on the train?

No.

I need to go to Black Sea.

Are you crazy?

Listen to me.

Come back now!

No, I have to go there.

♫The song is like a bright spring♫

♫She's still hiding a letter from her love♫

♫She's singing about the love of her life♫

♫She's still hiding a letter from her love♫

They want you to sing.

Chinese girl, sing a song.

Sing a song.

Sing a song.

Sing a song.

Sing a song.

♫The grievance of women is deep♫

Why are you here?

Come in.

Didn't I tell you?

Don't come here

if you have nothing serious.

You didn't answer my calls,

so I came to you.

Then find a hotel and wait for me there.

I'll be there soon.

Come here.

I bought you a pair of leather shoes

when I went shopped today. Try them on.

Why did you spend money for me?

Who else can I spend money for?

Your feet.

It's getting cold.

You go out everyday.

No one cares if your shoes are broken.

The salesperson said it's made of cowhide.

Come on, stand up.

Does it fit?

Are they comfortable?

Yes.

Your body can only get warm when your feet are warm.

If you don't take care of yourself,

who will take care of you?

Here, take it.

What are you doing?

Aren't you short of money lately?

I sold the golden necklace you gave me.

Plus what I have now,

here's 10,000 yuan.

Take it.

Babe, what are you doing?

I can't take your money.

Take it back.

What are you talking about?

Don't mention it.

I can't take it.

Take it back.

Take it when I tell you to.

Listen to me. Take the money back.

Take it.

Why are you so nice to me?

I don't know how to

live without you now.

Don't say that. Sit down.

You only need to take care of yourself.

Didn't I tell you

to dye your hair?

Look, you are growing out grey hair.

Babe, don't worry.

I'll figure it out for us.

How are you doing at home?

She discussed it with me.

She knows about us?

Did she give you a hard time?

After the scam,

she only wanted to get rid of me.

We barely talk

nowadays.

If I really have no money one day,

will you abandon me?

You don't have money now.

You can count on me.

I have to go.

Hello, Uncle.

How have you been?

I'm fine. What about you?

You've grown up a lot.

These two girls

are my Chinese friends.

Let me introduce them to you.

Xu Banxia and Yan.

Welcome to Black Sea.

Welcome to Black Sea.

Yan, tell him

we can sign the contract first,

but I can only pay

after the goods are loaded.

We can sign the contract first,

but we will only pay

after the goods are loaded.

Please remember,

if you don't pay...

But he has to remind you

if you don't pay in the end,

you won't get the customs pass

and you can't take the goods away.

What's the price?

What's the price?

45 dollars a ton.

45 dollars a ton.

Forty.

Forty.

No.

No.

I'm from China.

We need a great amount of steel.

China has a high demand for steel.

If everything goes well,

I'll come again next month.

We'll come again later.

I hope we can both show the greatest sincerity

in our first collaboration.

If we succeed this time,

I'll pay him at 45 dollars next time.

I promise I'll pay you at 45 next time.

Chinese women are smart.

Chinese women are great.

Well, 42 dollars.

Deal.

-Deal. -Deal.

Can I check the goods?

Can we check the goods?

Contact the freight first.

You have to contact the freight first.

Tell him the time.

He will deliver the goods then.

No way.

I need to check the quality of the steel first.

How can we make a deal without checking the steel first?

We represent the military.

He said he's on behalf of the military.

It's not as simple as you think.

But he promised you it's something with high quality.

Leave if you don't believe me.

You can leave if you don't believe him.

Then I need to sign the contract first,

without paying the deposit at the moment, okay?

Let's sign the contract first

and pay later.

Sure.

Sure.

Great.

Great!

Next time, I'll continue to be the host.

Qin, send him off for me.

Okay, Mr. Zhao.

Okay, bye.

Bye. Bye.

What took you so long?

I just arrived at Black Sea.

What's the rush?

Right.

Why should I get worried

since you're not?

I just met them.

I've talked to them.

42 dollars a ton.

I plan to take back 50,000 tons.

Please give me 24.5 million.

But I made a deal with them

that I only pay when the goods are loaded.

Listen.

I won't trust them

because of what you said.

Of course,

you must feel upset hearing what I said.

But that's the truth.

I'm not a gambler.

I believe you are not either.

Can we stop joking?

Well,

how is the quality of the steel?

I haven't seen the steel yet,

but I have a feeling that it must be good.

Are you crazy?

You asked me for money

without seeing anything?

Mr. Zhao, please trust me.

I don't believe it.

[General Manager Zhao Lei]

Mr. Zhao.

The more I get back,

the more you can earn, right?

I need a start.

You need a stable channel.

We can take what we need.

I borrowed money for building the storage yard.

My house and car

have been collateralised.

If I can't go to buy the steel scrap,

I'll be doomed.

Please help me.

Everyone starts from nothing, right?

If you're willing to collaborate with me,

I'll do my best to help you.

Qin Fangping.

Qin Fangping.

Mr. Zhao.

Come here.

Tell the finance department

to prepare 24.5 million.

What's the purpose?

To buy steel.

Have we signed such a big contract

with any company?

No contract.

But Mr. Zhao,

if there is no contract,

it'll be hard for the finance department to approve it.

Just tell them I told them to.

They must transfer the money to Xu Banxia tomorrow morning.

I have the right.

Sorry for what I'm going to say,

but isn't it too risky

to pay without a contract?

I guarantee it.

I'll take the responsibility.

Okay, got it.

I'll do it now.

Hello?

Don't talk.

Let me finish.

And don't interrupt me.

I'm afraid I'll forget what to say.

From the moment

I decided to stay in the North alone,

I swore I wouldn't return empty-handed.

Never ever.

I'm already building my storage yard.

It costs a lot in every moment.

You know I've borrowed a lot of money.

I can't even afford the interest.

I've also collateralised my house.

If I went back like this,

we would

fail completely.

I have no choice.

I know you're under the same pressure as me,

but please trust me.

It's a good chance

to make a lot of money now.

If... I mean if...

If I was doomed,

and put you in trouble,

I would do everything

to make it up to you.

I've never been

so determined in my life

that we will definitely win.

Our world

will be different soon.

Mr. Zhao, please trust me

and support me.

What you said has nothing to do with me.

I can afford the current loss.

You don't have to

say these things to me.

Xu Banxia, let me tell you.

I don't trust anyone,

especially you.

You already messed up once.

If you mess it up again,

you really don't have to come back.
