[Episode 4]

My Lord, look. What do you think of this fabric? Is it suitable for making dresses?

- What do you think? - It's not bad.

So that's it.

Wanqing, you're back?

Aunt Cui.

Hurry up. Come here.

We just received some fabrics that were sent from abroad.

Come pick one. See if there's anything you like.

Come here. Sit down.

Right.

Didn't you go see Commander Tan?

Is everything all right?

Everything is fine. I just took his suitcase by mistake.

So I sent it back.

That's good.

When he sent you and Brother Guangyao back this morning,

why didn't he take the case then?

You didn't need to go to find him alone.

Thinking of it, you two seem to be meant for each other.

You took the boat back to Shanghai together,

and you accidentally took each other's luggage.

During the party, he even kidnapped you as a hostage.

If we didn't know the truth,

we would think that you and Commander Tan made up.

- This kid! - Sister Wanting,

if you had admitted your relationship with Brother Guangyao last time,

the person Commander Tan would have taken away would have been you.

Sister, I was just kidding.

How can you say that?

Wanting, you shouldn't talk like that.

It's not funny.

I won't make you a dress. I will make one for Wanqing.

Wanqing, do you like this one?

Wanqing, Wanting didn't mean it.

Don't take it seriously.

You, your Aunt Cui, and Wanting,

go choose some fabric so that we can make dresses for each of you.

Thank you, Father.

It's so pretty.

[Xianshi Insurance Company]

[Shanghai Movie Set]

Your makeup looks pretty good today.

- Photographer! Hurry up. - Coming.

Young Uncle!

Young Uncle! Young Uncle!

You just became a new official. I thought you would be busy now.

How do you have time to see me?

My little superstar didn't come to see me, so I came to see you.

Nonsense.

You are the hottest new king of Shanghai.

It's not appropriate that I go to see you.

There's nothing inappropriate. I'm your young uncle.

No one would dare to gossip.

Is that so? In that case, I won't care about the suspicions.

I have been shooting for a whole day.

The director still won't let me rest. I'm exhausted.

Okay. That's easy.

Everyone, you all worked hard today. Thank you.

But Miss Gu has an appointment at noon. I say we stop here today.

- Okay. - Thank you, Director.

- That's fine. - Let's go.

[Defense Command of Shanghai]

Let me show you my newly renovated office.

What do you think? Not bad?

Young Uncle, your office is so stylish.

You brought me here, but aren't you afraid of being seen?

You are so pretty. Why would I be afraid of being seen with you?

Unexpectedly, as an actress,

I can have the support of the Commander of Shanghai from now on.

Don't worry. As long as I'm here,

all of Shanghai will respect you.

I can earn respect on my own. I don't need your help.

I didn't expect that the little girl I picked up

on the battlefield would be a big star now.

You were only fifteen years old back then. You were not that much older than me.

So what? I'm still older than you.

And you still need to call me Young Uncle.

Brother Guangyao.

Supervisor Xu, wait.

Shuang'er, you can go to the bedroom and wait for me.

B-Bedroom?

Go.

Supervisor Xu, come here. Sit down, please.

Supervisor Xu, Governor Xu is already on the train, right?

Is he still mad at me?

Don't worry, Commander Tan.

As long as you keep your promise, my father will forget the past and move on.

That's so good. I appreciate your father's kindness.

I, Tan Xuanlin, am a grateful man.

Starting today, I will cover all your expenses in Shanghai.

As long as you speak up, I will do everything for you.

Commander Tan, I don't think these are important. It's mainly about—

I know. I know what you're going to say.

It's about the renovation of your old house.

I found you the best craftsman in Shanghai.

Come, follow me. I'll show you.

I also built a bedroom in your office.

Let's go take a look. This office is absolutely unique.

Commander Tan. I think—

Hey, listen to me.

I even hid a little secret in there.

Let's go. Hurry.

Here it is. As you can see,

here is your office.

I bought these in Hong Kong. These are of the best quality.

This is the bedroom. You have a big bed here.

This is made of fine red rosewood.

I also bought you an American mattress.

What's the brand name again? It's called... Simmons.

Come here. Feel it. It's super comfortable.

It's wide enough. It's soft enough.

No matter how many women, you can sleep with all of them here.

Commander Tan, this is an office.

Look at me.

Right. We must be careful.

So, I made a secret door between the office and the bedroom.

You won't even notice it at all.

And the soundproof feature is particularly good.

I came to Shanghai to assist you in managing the defense of the city,

not to sleep with women.

Supervisor Xu,

don't be so serious. You also have your requests.

My point is... Since we made the regulations,

we have to take action immediately.

I'll decide how to deploy soldiers and how to spend the money.

As for the dissolution of the Tan Army,

I'm afraid you have to deal with it yourself, Commander Tan.

I don't usually make many requests about my living habits.

- Just a camp bed is fine. - A camp bed?

Okay, a camp bed is good.

Supervisor Xu, you know a lot.

I'll do it right away.

Tan Si! Shuang'er!

Let's go. Let's go buy a bed for Supervisor Xu.

Commander.

For things like shopping, you can just give me the instructions.

You don't need to do it yourself.

You don't understand.

I just don't want to be alone with Xu Guangyao.

Why?

Every time he comes to see me,

all he wants to talk about is

the dissolution of the Tan Army.

I'll hide from him for a few days.

Anyway, you're going to overtly agree but covertly oppose.

Why don't you just agree with him? There's no need to hide.

If I agree too quickly,

Xu Bojun will be suspicious about it.

I will hide from him for a few days.

and then he'll put pressure on me.

I will compromise at that time.

That will make him feel that I compromised under pressure.

That way, he won't be suspicious.

You can hide from him now, but you can't hide forever.

At that time, we will have things done.

Young Uncle, this one is not bad.

- Okay, that's it. - Okay.

When he sent you and Brother Guangyao back this morning,

why didn't he take the case then?

You didn't need to go to find him alone.

Wanqing, what's going on?

Father, I think I need to be honest with you.

Okay, go ahead.

Commander Tan deliberately asked me

to deliver the case.

[Account of the Defense Command of Shanghai]

Is Commander Tan back?

- Commander Tan— - What are you doing? Hurry up!

You guys are being too slow.

Hurry up!

Walk faster.

Come here.

Be careful of the corner.

This is the camp bed for Supervisor Xu.

[Supervisor Office] Supervisor Xu.

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Commander Tan cared about me so much.

I'm so flattered.

Of course. You're my most important guest.

You're different from us. We're just soldiers.

Besides, Governor Xu is very kind towards me.

I will agree to all your requests.

Commander Tan, I don't have any requirements for you.

I just hope we can take care of your soldiers' placements together.

Of course. Let's talk inside.

Tan Si, put up the bed. Put it right there.

Okay.

- Tan Si, remember to wipe that bed. - Commander Tan,

can we talk now?

Of course. Of course.

[Supervisor Office] - Report! - Supervisor Xu.

Commander, the Municipal Council's chairman Fei Andun just called

to invite you to the British concession.

Don't you see I'm talking with Supervisor Xu?

Don't you know the rules? Scram!

Yes!

Junior Marshal Xu, I'm so sorry. He didn't know the rules.

It's my fault.

There are too many things to deal with.

And the British, we can't offend them either.

How about this? I'll go there first for an hour at most.

I promise I will come back. Then, we can talk about the soldier placement. Wait for me.

Tan Si, let's go! Hurry!

Junior Marshal, I think he is deliberately avoiding you.

It's okay. He can hide now but not forever.

I see.

He asked you to bring the case alone, because he wanted you to keep the secret

about the murder.

If I implicate our family, my guilt will be too serious.

That person may not have been important.

Otherwise, the whole of Shanghai would have heard of the news.

I'm relieved to hear you say that.

I felt so guilty all these days

for fear that I will cause trouble to the family.

Silly girl.

If there is anything you need or want my help with,

just tell me. Okay?

I have something to discuss with you.

Okay, tell me.

Mother's ashes are about to be buried.

But my mother and I didn't have a good time in Japan during the past few years,

and we didn't have any savings.

So I want to ask you for help.

I'll let Lianfeng pay the bill for the funeral expenses.

Thank you for taking care of me.

But these expenses,

I can't always ask her for them.

My mother had a dowry before

and I want to use it for business.

As the eldest daughter of our family,

I cannot share the burden with you,

but I can make money by myself.

You are very ambitious.

That's my good girl.

Some of your mother's dowry

was kept by Lianfeng for you.

Now, it's time to return it to you.

Thank you, Father.

[Defense Command of Shanghai]

How about it? I did as you ordered. Where are we going now?

Let's go have a drink with Fei Andun.

There is no such person. I am the Fei Andun.

Don't act in front of me. Who is the actor here?

Shuang'er, don't you think my looks

are much better than that of the male actors in your company?

How can you be so narcissistic?

This is nothing, Miss Shuang'er.

You have never seen a more narcissistic person.

Do you know? Once the commander and I fought a fierce battle.

A fierce battle!

Do you know the first question he asked me after it was over?

What?

Is my hair messed up?

- Really? - Is my hair messed up?

- Yours is messed up. - Don't mess up my hair!

You two are equally narcissistic!

Okay. Let's…

Where are we going?

How about the old street of Seven Treasures Alley?

There are many snack bars, and the food there is delicious.

And generally, upper-class people don't go there.

That Supervisor Xu won't be able to find out. No one will know.

You little girl… You have the potential to be a spy.

I'm not a little girl. I'm a superstar.

The people who know me must be more than the people that know you.

Enough, let's go to Seven Treasures Alley.

[Peaceful Mind Equals More Happiness] Your mother's dowry

is all gone.

How could that be?

My Lord, don't you remember?

The Xiao family's villa had been in disrepair for a long time.

A few years ago, it was built into a club by the Municipal Council.

You handed over the real estate certificate yourself.

Those shops also lost money because of poor management.

Shipping companies are still in operation,

but they can't hold out any longer.

In recent years, the situation has not been good due to the wars.

Two freighters were accidentally bombed on the Yangtze River.

The cargo owner lost all his money.

The company that paid the owner went bankrupt.

Oh, you reminded me after you said that.

So you're saying all of my mother's dowry is gone.

I still have a few pieces of jewelry

you can keep as mementos.

Superstar.

[The Silver Pill] Are you afraid of being recognized?

I'm not afraid.

I just want to avoid being misunderstood as Commander Tan's girlfriend.

It will delay your search for a new girlfriend.

If you don't mind, I'll take it off.

Keep wearing it.

That's all that's left of your mother's jewelry.

I had planned on finding someone to send these to Japan.

But I hadn't heard from you, so I kept them for you.

But I asked the servant to take care of it every once in a while.

Now, it's all yours.

Aunt Cui, have you seen a gold-inlaid jade pendant?

My brother had worn it since he was a child.

My mother's last wish was to have it buried with her.

No... How about this?

You can go to your brother's room to look for it.

Are you sad?

Why are you here?

I'm here to help you search.

No thanks. I can find it myself.

Is this what you are looking for?

My brother's jade!

Catch it!

You!

The belongings of people who have died are fragile.

Apologize!

Why should I do that? You didn't catch it yourself.

You can be rude to me, but you can't insult my brother.

- Apologize! - I did nothing wrong. Let me go!

Mu Wanting, don't push me again

or I won't spare you!

Scram.

Kind people are always bullied.

Mother, I'll never sit still

and let them bully me.

Have a look! New books!

Masterpieces! Have a look.

Madam, take a look.

Sir, do you want an umbrella?

Steamed stuffed buns.

I want to eat this. I want to eat this.

Seriously? You... don't need to stay in shape anymore?

Are you not afraid of looking fat under the camera?

Did you forget?

When you picked me up on the battlefield,

you gave me a sugar bun.

What are you doing?

Where are your parents?

They're both dead.

Eat it.

You saved my life.

For me, this is the most delicious food in the world.

Fine. If you want, I'll buy it.

Boss, pack all of these.

Okay.

- Here you are. - Thanks.

- Tan Si, accompany Shuang'er around. I'll be back soon. - Okay.

Where are you going?

I have something to do. Tan Si will be with you.

[Baoli Pawnshop]

Miss, what do you want?

Boss, please take a look.

Can you fix this jade pendant?

Can you fix it?

In my pawnshop, the skill of repairing jewelry

is the best in Shanghai.

But the labor cost for broken jade is very high,

and the price will be expensive.

The price doesn't matter. Please fix this jade.

Two hundred silver dollars.

Okay.

Boss, take a look. Look at this jewelry.

This is one thousand silver dollars at most.

One thousand?

Impossible. These all are from my mother's dowry.

This necklace is worth tens of thousands of silver dollars.

Miss, you see.

This jewelry just looks good and seems expensive.

Actually, these jewels are made of small diamonds. They aren't valuable.

Besides, these days, jewelry isn't a necessity.

I'm willing to give you a thousand silver dollars.

It's already very high.

Could it be Cui Lianfeng did something to the jewelry?

Boss, can you offer a higher price?

Sorry, I can't. One thousand silver dollars is the highest price I can offer.

Please check it carefully.

- I'm sorry. This– - Hey.

Isn't this the wealthy Miss Mu?

Why is it you again?

What a coincidence. If I wasn't here,

I wouldn't have known that you've been reduced to selling jewelry.

Miss, have you considered it?

Will you sell it or not?

Are these all yours?

They are my mother's.

Why don't you keep it for yourself?

Miss, if you regret it, you can take them back.

I'll sell them. I can't pay you if I don't sell them.

Okay.

Boss, how much does this girl owe you?

Two hundred silver dollars.

Okay. Tomorrow, you can get the money at the Defense Command of Shanghai.

Just say that Commander Tan approved it.

You are the commander!

You don't have to pay. I can't take your money.

- No. - I can't take your money.

I'll give you the money she owes you.

Thank you, Boss.

Why do you keep following me?

I'm not.

Are you stalking me?

Why would I do that?

Oh, right. That fake fiancé of yours lives in the command center now.

If I go back, he'll talk official business with me.

I don't want to talk about that.

Well, don't tell him you met me here.

Why won't you talk to him about official business?

Why would I do that?

Look at the scenery of Shanghai. The extravagant feasting and revelry.

Smell it. In the air, the smell is like luxury and dissipation.

I will return the money that I owe you.

How? As a little girl, don't push yourself so hard.

You have no choice.

Who told you I have no choice?

I have many ways.

Like what?

Sell yourself?

Take a look! Take a look!

Come take a look!

Who is that?

She's the daughter of Mu Zhiyuan, the President of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce.

She's Mu Wanqing.

I'll tell you the same thing.

You're weak in the Mu family and you can't find support.

You need me and I happen to need you, too.

This is your mother's heirloom. Keep it.

You don't have money either. Why are you paying for me?

Funny.

What I lack are military funds, which is huge.

These two hundred silver dollars are not important.

Of course. This is what I lent to you.

You have to pay me back with interest.

So this is what you want.

You already knew I couldn't get the fifty thousand silver dollars,

and you showed up when I was desperate.

Good. I like to work with smart people.

But I won't work with you. I just want to live a peaceful life.

I will give you the money. Forget everything else.

A peaceful life?

You have to ask if your stepmother agrees.

Don't be fooled by others and help them count money.

I'm above it all. I'm not like you.

You are full of schemes.

Are you hungry?

I'm not.

I see. It's time to eat.

I just helped you. Have a meal with me.

[Defense Command of Shanghai]

Junior Marshal, Tan Xuanlin said that he would be back in an hour.

What time is it now?

He makes irresponsible remarks and has no credibility.

Don't worry. He wants to procrastinate.

I'll wait for him.

Anyway, he'll be back sooner or later.

Take a look.

Do you have Crab Yolk Bun?

- Is it good? - I'll pack it up for you.

Right. What were you going to get repaired at the pawnshop today?

It's not your business.

Okay.

Two hundred silver dollars.

My brother's jade pendant is broken.

My mother's last wish was to have it buried with her.

So, I went to the pawnshop to get it fixed.

You're too careless.

Never mind.

Is it what I think it is?

It's your stepmother and sister…

Let me say it again. Don't interfere with my family affairs.

Don't think that since you paid for me, I'll work with you.

You just want to use me.

Let's see when I get the chance.

Be careful.

Yes, Madam.

Xiaocui, hurry up.

Okay.

Wanqing, you're back?

- Aunt Cui. - Wanqing,

during these terrible times, if you hadn't come back,

I'd have to send someone to find you again.

I had something to do outside.

I haven't been back for so many years. I almost lost my way.

It seems like Commander Tan sent you home.

It seems the two of you have been pretty close.

I met him at Qi Bao.

He was helping Brother Guangyao buy furniture. So he sent me back along the way.

Buy furniture?

It seems that the Xu family's old house is being renovated,

so Brother Guangyao is temporarily living in the command center.

Then I'll go back to my room and rest now.

Are you hungry? Can I get you something to eat?

No need. Thank you, Aunt Cui.

Okay, go get some rest.

It seems that my behavior here is being monitored by her.

- You're drunk now. Don't go. - Right.

Hurry up. I still need to talk with Supervisor Xu

- about official business! - Slow down. Slow down.

- Hurry up. - Fine, fine. What are...

- Supervisor Xu! - How about we go back?

- He's already drunk. - Slow down.

No. I'm going to talk with Brother Guangyao about official business.

Slow down. Commander!

Supervisor Xu, I'm so sorry.

I didn't pay attention and he got drunk.

When he came back, he started speaking nonsense.

But he still wanted to come to see you. As y-you see...

- Supervisor Xu. - This way.

Here.

I'm sorry.

Supervisor Xu, I'm here to talk with you about official business today.

You're drunk. We shouldn't talk.

Who are you?

Don't you see that I'm talking with Supervisor Xu?

Why did you interrupt me?

Calm down.

You don't know the rules...

Guangyao,

go ahead. I'm listening.

I'm sorry, Supervisor Xu. How about you two talk tomorrow?

He vomits easily when he gets drunk.

If he vomits in your office, it's not good.

I'll get him to bed. Okay?

It seems that he's really drunk.

So we'll wait until he wakes up tomorrow.

Take him to bed now.

Remember to keep someone close to him at night.

I'm not drunk.

Enough, Commander.

- Don't pull me. Don't pull me, Tan Si. - Okay.

- I'm talking with Supervisor Xu. - I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Supervisor Xu.

- Supervisor Xu, wait for me! - Let's leave.

- Wait for me! - I'm sorry.

Wait for me, and I'll talk with you!

Wait for me, I'll talk with you right away.

He knew you were waiting for him, and he still got drunk.

He doesn't value you at all.

Do you really think he's actually drunk?

Slow down, Commander.

I'm not finished yet.

- I'm talking official business. - Okay. Miss Shuang'er, help him.

Be careful.

Talking official business...

Be careful, slow down.

Talking official business.

Superstar, what do you think?

How's my acting?

Your acting skills are amazing!

The male actors in our company are not as good as you.

Of course.

Our Commander shows one side to others and another side in private.

There's no one who can do the same.

I feel sorry for that Supervisor Xu.

He waited for you for a whole day, and he asked Tan Si to take care of you.

Such a good person.

He can't beat you at all.

You have more things to learn.

Do you think he believed me?

He only pretended to believe me.

So both of you are acting?

This is not acting.

It's called meeting my competitor.

Tan Si, get me some water.

[The Sincere Co. Ltd]

[Supervisor Office]

Does Guangyao live here?

Yes.

Guangyao, your office is really nice.

But no matter how nice it looks, it's not your home.

Guangyao, since you were a child, as long as you came to Shanghai,

you would live in the Mu mansion.

Thank you, Madam Cui.

I appreciate that.

I'm afraid Commander Tan will misunderstand

and think he is treating me badly.

You always think of others.

You care about him, but he doesn't care about you.

Besides, what if he brings back a woman?

You'll be embarrassed.

You look thinner.

- I told you to change into another dress. - Doesn't it look good?

Yes. But the position of the slit is too high.

Commander Tan.

Hello.

Hello, Madam Mu.

Madam Mu.

Supervisor Xu, I asked her to come and get something.

What? Get what?

Anything is okay. Go ahead.

Go.

It seems that I inconvenienced Commander Tan.

No. No, you didn't.

That's my little sister.

Commander Tan, you seem to have so many sisters.

Commander Tan, you don't have to force yourself.

My old house is currently being renovated,

and I'll be able to live there in two months.

I'll move to the Licha Hotel first.

Our lives will not interfere with each other. It's convenient for both of us.

You didn't interfere with my life.

If you go out like this, people will think I drove you out.

Besides, two months is a long time.

You can't live in a hotel for two months.

Yes, right.

And this hotel is in the concession.

It's not easy to get in and out.

My soldiers can't get in. If something happens to you, how would I face Governor Xu?

Guangyao,

don't make it harder on Commander Tan.

You can move to the Mu mansion and live with us.

First, the Mu family and Xu family have a good relationship.

If you live there, no one will gossip.

- Second. - Yes.

it is also close to the command.

It's convenient for you to get in and out.

When the old house is finished with renovations, you can go back there.

Madam Mu's right.

Supervisor Xu, I won't worry about you if you live there.

That's right.

- Thank you, Madam Mu. - You're welcome.

Supervisor Xu, see Madam Mu out first.

I have something to do first. I won't see you out.

Okay.

Commander Tan.

We still have official business to talk about. Did you forget?

Give me some time. I will definitely give you an answer.

At least you can tell me what you plan on doing.

If you move to the Mu mansion,

Miss Wanting will pester you all the time.

In my opinion,

you would be more comfortable living in the hotel.

Today, Madam Mu invited me

and Tan Xuanlin also agreed.

If I don't go, I will offend them both.

The governor told me

you must monitor Tan Xuanlin regarding the dissolution of the Tan Army.

At this time, Tan Xuanlin spoke so enthusiastically for Madam Mu,

he must want to distract you and do something behind your back.

It's okay.

Anyway, during the day, I will also work at the headquarters.

No matter what he wants to do, I will find everything out the same.

Junior Marshal,

I think since Miss Wanqing came back,

your thoughts have gone to the Mu mansion.

What are you talking about?

I was wondering

why you were willing to stay here as supervisor.

You must have done this for Miss Wanqing.

I didn't stay because of her.

It's just that I'm also in Shanghai.

And I can take care of her.

It has been ten years since she left home

and her mother has passed away.

If there is an acquaintance by her side,

it would be comforting for her.

Commander,

a pawnshop guy came just now.

He brought this bill and said that you owe him two hundred silver dollars.

Yes.

I do owe him two hundred silver dollars.

This bill, not only do I have to sign it,

I also have to stamp it.

For this kind of bill, why do you need to use the command's stamp?

The money I spent must be well-documented.
