[Falling Before Fireworks]

[Episode 2]

You tell me.

Did you do it on purpose?

You can go inside if you are cold.

It's late, and we're not a couple.

It's not appropriate for us to stay in the same room.

Manager Si.

It's late, and we're not a couple.

For the sake of safety,

I won't share it with you.

What a petty man.

You can leave after you finish these.

I have to go out for something.

What kind of tea did you drink?

It smells so good.

Longjing tea.

I don't drink Dahongpao tea.

It turns out that I gave myself away in front of Chen Lianzhi

because of the Dahongpao tea.

I'm leaving.

See you tomorrow.

[Navigation Unactivated]

[Jing Garden Security Guard Chen]

Chen.

Okay.

Please keep an eye on it for me.

I'll be right back.

Lianzhi, I'm here!

I borrowed 80,000 yuan from my parents.

It's not easy for you to make a living outside.

You take it.

Also,

people from the bank have been watching this place these days.

Don't come back here again.

Lianzhi,

we should hurry and get the divorce done.

Of course, this is a fake divorce.

I'm afraid the debt collectors will come to you

and make you suffer.

Don't say that.

Let's leave here first.

Mr. Zhao, you are back.

You go first. I'll stop her.

You even have the money ready to pay back your interest.

Let's go back to the bank now.

Go!

Let go of my arm.

Don't drag my arm.

Chen Lianzhi.

Are you going to let him use this money to support his mistress?

I have the videos of

him and other women fooling around

and other evidence on my phone.

Do you have the courage to see them?

You're slinging mud at me!

Lianzhi.

Lianzhi.

I have nothing to do with that woman.

You have to trust me!

You...

Let go!

[Police]

[Serve the people]

Who should I give this 80,000 yuan to?

Have you three decided it yet?

I suggest the 80,000 yuan

be deposited in Ms. Chen's electronic account.

According to the legal order of liquidation,

this money should be used to pay the debts already due.

No!

It's not my wife's money.

It's her parents' money.

You can't use it to repay my debt.

Lianzhi.

Lianzhi.

Say something.

Lianzhi.

Aren't you here for the money?

Here. Take them all away.

Take them away now, Manager Si.

[Loyalty to the Party] [Serve the people]

[Impartial Law Enforcement] [Strict in Discipline]

Are you crazy?

Stop right there!

Put the money down!

No quarrels here!

It's all your fault!

I'll fight back if you don't stop.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have threatened my parents

with pesticide in my hand

to ask for their money for retirement.

[Police]

Lianzhi.

[Lianzhi, it's the Chinese New Year. Buy yourself new clothes.]

It's the Chinese New Year. Buy yourself some new clothes.

[Police]

You...

That's right.

I'm cold-blooded and heartless,

with no sympathy at all.

I've never been kind

to stupid women like Chen Lianzhi,

or even to those who are more innocent and miserable than she is.

A bank is a bank. We're not a charity.

If I were as sympathetic as you,

I would have jumped off a building with my clients a long time ago.

Give the money back to Chen Lianzhi.

And please tell her.

I'm not doing this out of pity,

but out of disdain.

With her scheming and means,

she could have a better life

if she didn't have to be a man's ATM

and ask her parents for money.

Of course.

I just think the money comes from the wrong source.

I'm afraid it will get me into a lawsuit.

Are you done?

The police gave it to me.

Disinfect your wound.

[Police]

[Police]

[Nancheng Commercial Bank]

We have this bad loan.

Year-end bonuses for all colleagues

will be affected because of this bad loan.

Look what you did.

I'm sorry, President.

As for the bonus,

I'll make up for it in other ways.

A few days ago, I heard from Assistant Zhou from Xincheng

that their company has a large provision

that will be deferred until after the new year.

This money is still lying in their company account.

[Nancheng Commercial Bank]

Our new financial product

has a 33-day cycle

as well as an interest rate of 3.6 percent.

It's perfect for them.

I'm planning to meet them

and persuade them to buy our product.

This is a very popular meat.

We can't be the only ones eyeing them.

Just do your best.

Don't worry

about your promotion.

I'll still try my best to help you.

Thank you, President.

[Ji's Antique Chat Group]

Wait.

Someone in the group said

they saw the other half of the painting.

Your "golden-years" blind date group?

Lunch time.

You can have it back in the afternoon.

Coming.

Brother Chen.

Grandpa Jing seems to have relapsed again.

He couldn't recognize me when I called him.

And he said his grandson left.

My painting is lost.

He ran away.

Broken.

It's all broken.

It's okay.

He is like this every noon.

I still have my craftsmanship.

Cheng is back too.

It won't be broken.

Thank you, Grandpa.

[WeChat]

[Jing Cheng]

[WeChat]

[Jing Cheng]

One more.

Chen, don't be too sad.

Although our grandpa is in this state,

he still remembers you.

Right?

[Jing Cheng]

I'm not the one in his mind.

Tiantian, please help me

bring the contract on my table to the front desk.

After meeting the client, I'll go straight to the annual meeting.

I can't make it to the meeting with Anbang.

Okay, see you later.

Thank you.

Mr. Wang, this is Manager Si from Nancheng Commercial Bank.

We know each other.

Manager Si, long time no see.

Nice to see you again, Mr. Wang.

Here, Mr. Wang.

We have booked a room. Let's go in first.

OK.

Manager Si, let's go.

We're old friends.

So I won't stand on ceremony.

The first toast is

to Mr. Wang.

Manager Si, this is not right.

Aren't we old friends?

We had a lot of dealings

before you became the customer manager.

I'm afraid you would have forgotten about us long ago,

since you are so busy.

Since you said so today,

I'll be cheeky and say we are friends.

Please help me.

Well...

By rights,

I should help you.

But a few days ago,

someone from the Jiangzhou Commercial Bank came to me.

That girl is a decisive girl.

She goaded me during the dinner.

She said if she drank a glass of wine, I would buy

one million yuan's worth of finance products from her bank.

I thought

she is a girl, and it's a tough job.

So I agreed.

It's not easy

for me to help you now.

Mr. Wang, you are righteous and sincere.

This toast is

solely to your moral character.

I admire you.

That's why I can't make things more difficult for you.

She drank red wine,

so I'll drink liquor

to show my sincerity.

Whether it's one million per cup

or two million per cup,

it'll depend on how much you value me.

OK.

I just admire straightforward people like you.

Waiter.

Bring me the two boxes of baijiu

I have stored at your restaurant.

Your grandfather used to

bring back so much junk wood.

The villagers all said he was a spendthrift.

Who would have thought

we old fools

could live in such a house?

It's all thanks to you and your grandfather.

Chen,

the garden you built

is really great.

I just pieced and reshaped the wood

that Grandpa collected.

Granny, the window is still missing something.

I'll go back and look for it.

I'll fix it for you later.

No hurry.

Chen.

Take these taros back

and make soup for your grandpa with them.

Thank you, Granny.

[Crafts and Hearts]

[Guard the Craft]

Since the purchaser ran away,

we have no money to finish these semi-finished products.

Zhao Feng wanted to sell them to a garbage collector.

But even the garbage collector didn't want to take them.

I had no choice.

So I want to sell them here at a cheaper price.

If I can sell one, I'll have a little more income.

There will be a theme park event in the Chinese New Year.

A large number of lanterns will be used.

And there will be many tourists.

So we can sell some.

I've thought about what you just said.

The villagers are willing to help too.

But no one will want

these semi-finished products.

Let me try it.

There's still some time before the new year.

We should be able to make it.

If so,

I will have the nerve to apologize to Manager Si.

[Body Temperature]

[Weight]

My period.

Hello?

Can you do me a favor?

Miss, are you alright?

Dear Ms. Siqing.

[Message Just now]

[Sweet Bakery]

Happy birthday from Nancheng Credit Card,

and we wish you a happy life!

Dear Member Siqing,

[Message Just now]

[Jingzhuo Culture]

Happy birthday to you from Nancheng Commercial Bank.

This month...

Not a single living soul remembers it.

Happy birthday, Miss Siqing.

[Mom]

Add them on WeChat.

They are all locals with cars and houses in Nancheng.

[Mom]

Don't ask for too much.

At your age,

you can't afford to be picky.

[Add them on WeChat. They are all locals with cars and houses in Nancheng.]

[Don't ask for too much. At your age, you can't afford to be picky.]

[Lide] [Change because of me]

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

She went to your primary school.

Why can't you take care of her for a few years?

You leave early and come home late every day.

But I didn't see you making too much salary.

You earn a lot.

Don't you feel ashamed

when you come to their doors to sell insurance?

Also,

don't forget!

When we divorced,

the judge granted you full custody of our daughter.

You refused to raise her and forced me to have her.

On behalf of the whole world,

[On behalf of the whole world, happy birthday to Siqing]

happy birthday to Siqing.

Your mother has abandoned you.

If you still don't behave yourself,

I'll abandon you too.

They can all get full marks.

Why did you only get 97?

Don't embarrass me!

Why do you ask for money again?

Siqing, it's not easy for me to make money.

Especially your sister is still so young.

How about we stop going to that tutorial class?

You're not the only one who goes to Key School.

Why are you so arrogant?

You have to bear with your sister more.

Be sensible.

Can't you work harder?

Tiantian.

Siqing.

The president asked me to ask you

about the savings.

It's settled.

People from Xincheng will come to the bank tomorrow for the procedure.

Okay.

I'm on my way to the annual meeting.

I'll report to the president when I get back.

Okay, bye.

She is really capable.

It's no surprise that

she is the first to get promoted among us.

I'm just curious

how she takes care of the clients.

Ai Li, don't be so sarcastic.

[Siqing]

[End]

Don't think I can't tell

that you're implying that Siqing is a social butterfly.

I think you are just jealous of her.

You said that.

I didn't say anything.

We should thank Siqing.

If it weren't for her,

how could we get so many year-end bonuses?

We didn't hang up.

You want your year-end...

[Siqing]

[End]

What should we do?

Screw your year-end bonus!

I drank during my period

and now have to listen to you gossip about me?

Who do you think I am?

Promotion?

I don't care! I quit!

I'm Jing Chen.

Who cares!

Who told you to call me at this time?

Do we know each other well?

No. Sorry to bother you.

[Unknown]

[Decline] [Accept]

You wait there!

[Unknown]

[Decline] [Accept]

Miss, are you alright?

Sir, go to the Jing Garden.

That shabby garden in the valley.

[Jing Garden]

[Winter Solstice]

[Longevity and Happiness]

Do you want to see me make a fool of myself too?

[Longevity and Happiness]

It's snowing.

[Longevity and Happiness]

Come and sit.

[Longevity and Happiness]

[Longevity and Happiness]

[When you grow up,]

[you will find that the peaceful life]

[is just the hot soup at home]

[When you grow up, you will find that the peaceful life]

[is just the hot soup at home]

[and the light that has always been on for you.]

I called you today

to give you this.

How do you know it's my birthday today?

[Winter Solstice]

[Winter Solstice]

I work in the bank for 260,000 yuan a year.

I own a car worth 300,000 yuan

and a ninety-square-meter house on the outskirts of town

with more than 10,000 loans per month.

If you agree,

let's get married.

In the future, I'll be in charge of the daily necessities.

You can continue to enjoy the snow and drink tea.

Happy birthday.

But I'm sorry.

You misunderstood.

Today is the winter solstice.

Drinking sweet wine and eating eggs

are customs here.

Do you really have no feelings for me?

That's easy then.

It's my birthday.

I can't be the only one suffering.
