[Perfect Partner]

[Episode 24]

I'm sorry.

Actually, I thought...

no one could find it out if I posted it on her Weibo.

I've never thought it would implicate DL.

I've never thought it could be serious like this.

Zheng Qi was my classmate.

As such a thing happened to her, I really feel pity for her.

How could I refuse to help her as she came to me?

Everybody calm down now.

We can still put it right.

Though Deng Xi scolded us harshly,

actually he has only one requirement.

Delete the post and apologize.

You made the mistake,

so you should be responsible.

I will.

I'll make a personal apology.

I'll make an announcement.

I won't mind even if Peter Fang hit and insulted me.

But Zheng Qi can't apologize.

She can't delete the post.

Because she's the victim.

Is it what you really think?

Good.

Since you're all here, let me tell you the truth.

Since I graduated from college,

I've devoted my whole life to DL.

For more than ten years,

I've seen DL's interests as mine.

So I'll never let anyone harm the company's interests.

I don't know what you're thinking about it,

but since Jiang Dalin became the president,

she's brought so much trouble to DL

out of her rude and unprofessional manners.

Therefore, I think,

Jiang Dalin isn't capable enough to lead us forward.

I propose that the board meeting be convened

to discuss the removal of the president.

You can tolerate a minor error,

but never a big mistake.

Since Jiang Dalin ignores everyone else's interests,

I have no other choices.

Still, a show of hands.

Raise your hand if you agree to the meeting.

I oppose.

Sorry.

It's not a big deal.

You don't have to.

Wei Zhe,

are you sure?

Are you sure?

You know what you're doing?

Coup d'état.

The house is on fire,

and we're fighting against each other instead of being united?

How do you quell the fire without putting out its source?

Don't bluff!

Listen everyone, it's not complicated.

Apologize to CEA and pacify them.

And tell them that

I, Wei Zhe, took the case personally.

There's nothing to do with DL and President Jiang.

Don't be childish.

Will CEA accept the explanation?

Who are you?

You are DL's partner and vice president!

You, or Jiang, or DL,

all the same!

Then I'll quit the job!

Just tell everyone that I'm fired.

So you can keep clear of it!

No one else has ever pointed a finger at me!

Is there no other investment company in the world?

Do we have to live off that one?

We're giving up our dignity for their money!

There are only two choices,

fight, or surrender.

I won't surrender.

I'll fight them till the end.

As to whether to break up with me,

it's up to you.

I'm sorry.

What is Wei Zhe doing?

He wants a public confrontation.

Quiet.

Let them hear me!

It's unreasonable for him to be on Jiang's side.

He's also responsible for Jiang Dalin's mistake.

It's he who keeps saying she's his student.

And look at his student!

They're tarred with the same brush!

What do we do now, Stella?

With Wei Zhe's ability and resource,

he doesn't really have to get mixed up in all this.

I don't get it.

What's the relationship with Jiang and Wei?

What has she done?

It's clear.

Wei Zhe wants to go after her!

He just tries to protect her.

I don't think he likes such women as Jiang Dalin.

He's a celibatarian.

I'm sure.

Then for what?

For money?

For fame?

Or...

for the post of the president?

Then no way!

Let me handle this.

I'll ask Director Qiu and Director Lan

to convene the meeting

and dismiss Jiang!

How's it possible when Wei Zhe has come forward?

The shares of Jiang, Li and Wei

are much more than ours.

They already have the right of speech!

You mean we have to take a step back?

I know Deng Xi well.

We're almost in a dead end.

If CEA's investment is screwed,

Wei Zhe's resources will be essential to us.

We can't let him leave at this moment.

You have to take a step back when necessary.

32 reposts,

141 comments,

19 hours since it was posted.

The effect of posting it is no more than

reminding CEA of this incident.

You know where's the problem?

No evidence.

We now have the topic,

sex and violence.

The topics that attract attention easily.

The wording is provocative.

But we don't have substantive evidence.

So it means nothing.

What evidence do you want?

Pictures,

videos,

or screenshots of WeChat messages.

How's an audio recording?

You have that?

Yes.

Then why didn't you tell me?

I recorded it by chance.

I wasn't sure whether to release it.

But now Wei Zhe says we need it.

You're drunk.

I said, I'm not drunk.

But I'm...getting drunk.

I have to go.

Don't go.

Stay with me.

Don't...don't.

You...are really drunk.

Your dress is beautiful.

Now I know why men like women in uniform.

How beautiful.

Peter, don't! Don't...

Your voice is beautiful.

I know, you also like me, don't you?

Peter, just don't! I beg you!

Let me go, Peter!

Let go!

It's the evidence that I want.

Louise,

is everything ready?

Yes.

We've paid 20 major Internet marketers

and 3,000 posters.

If it can't be the no.1 treading topic,

Anton will cut his head.

Post it!

Let's do it!

That night, I recorded everything by chance.

I've posted it here.

I was hesitating but now I'm exposing the truth.

I'm doing it not just for myself.

In CEA, there are more than 100 female analysts.

In this industry, there are numerous.

Among them,

many have been the victims of sexual harassment, like me.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Okay.

My car is coming.

Will you let me send you home?

It's okay.

I just hailed a taxi with my phone.

And we go different ways.

Don't be so polite.

We'll go the same way

so long as I want to send you home.

It's okay, really.

Here it is.

Please.

No, thanks.

Sophie,

it's okay, come on.

No, thanks!

The taxi is on its way.

It's not good to cancel it.

Sorry.

Okay.

See you tomorrow.

Peter, don't! Don't...

Your voice is beautiful.

Among them, many have been the victims of sexual harassment, like me.

If I don't reveal his infamy,

there'll be more female victims.

I'll be the first to open the old wound

to claim for justice for all those female analysts.

Women's rights and interests in the workplace can't be just paid lip service to.

We need to be respected.

Evidence.

It works.

With the evidence,

we now have 3,000 reposts!

I'll call Wei Zhe!

Let go of me!

Tell him that there are still more reposts!

Mr. Fang,

you're the Peter in the news.

What do you think?

How are you going to face it?

Are you going to work?

It's said that you employ people by their looks, and ability is always the second.

Is that real?

What's going on?

Explain it!

Did you sexually harassed her?

Peter, don't come to the company today.

Journalists have blocked our entrance!

Tan, why are you here?

I want to change my job, you know.

So I'll have an interview today.

I'm a bit nervous.

I'm just dropping by

and I want you to pep me up.

You can do it.

A lucky candy. Go for it!

Right, I saw Zheng Qi's post.

It has flooded my screen.

It's said that you planned it.

I admire that you can claim for justice for your friend.

I'll back you up. You're right.

I have to thank Wei Zhe for this.

Or I wouldn't have known what would happen.

Seems that he cares about you.

He's respectable.

You know how hard it is to be DL's president?

My mom is right.

I should seize him.

He's my support.

Well. Which company are you going to?

An E-commerce company.

An emerging industry.

It's a promising industry!

We're also studying it.

You know the New Face?

They're having a C2C e-commerce platform.

And we're responsible for it.

Is that so?

Then I might need your help.

I want to learn more about this industry

so that one day, I can start my own business.

We're also a newcomer.

Let's learn together.

Yes!

Can I make a little suggestion?

Sure.

Your suit is too formal.

E-commerce focuses on energy and creativity.

So put up something more causal.

Right.

It makes sense.

I just knew that this woman was a trouble.

I shouldn't have called her there in the first place.

Look at the troubles she's caused!

Peter, be honest with me.

Did you touch her, or not?

I've told you many times that I did.

But I thought she was voluntary.

Voluntary.

It was just a normal dating.

But in that record...

she doesn't sound voluntary.

She's refusing you.

She recorded it,

which means that she had a purpose.

This...

Just don't come to work for now.

There are a bunch of journalists out there.

Stay at a hotel for some days.

How can I?

I've got so much work to do.

I have to go to Shenzhen days later.

You're kidding me.

You have to be patient.

Patient?

I have family,

I have reputation.

Last month, I attended an activity of Asia-Pacific Women's Rights Protection Association.

Now I'm disgraced by this thing!

You need to give me some time to figure out what to do.

I knew you wouldn't believe me.

She's just trying to frame me.

Let me say it again,

I didn't sexually assault her.

She was willing to be with me.

And that...

that DL company.

They planned everything!

Now, find me a PR company.

Let's see.

Two can play at this game.

Actually,

it's more of a casual talk than an interview.

Xiaohui told me about you.

And I believe in her recommendation.

Thank you for your trust.

I've always been interested in C2C e-commerce platforms.

So I wanted to give it a try when Director Yan introduced it.

The competition among E-commerce platforms are fierce.

It's about money, about merger.

It's savage.

We don't even dare get slack for a single day.

In days,

another C2C platform will be launched.

So we're dying for young marketing talents like you

who can join us for this fight!

President Hu,

is the platform you just mentioned

the Attitude Mall invested by New Face's Gu Kailei?

Yes, it is.

New Face started with developing games.

So it's rich.

Now it's getting into the e-commerce market in full fury,

becoming one of our rivals.

- Are you satisfied with the fee? - Yes.

Okay, now it's your turn to satisfy me.

Of course.

We will draft an announcement right away.

Good.

President Deng.

If I may be so bold as to ask,

did Mr. Fang sexually harass Miss Zheng Qi or not?

Yes,

or no,

does that matter?

What matters is that you've signed the contract and got the money.

Since you've been our agent,

you should only remember,

this woman framed and took revenge on Peter.

With Peter's personality, dignity and position,

he wouldn't harass a female employee.

Am I right?

I've informed the HR Department.

They'll prioritize your enrollment.

So...

when will you come?

President Hu,

There are still job transition procedures in Fly-Joy Group.

So...I may need some time.

I'm thinking that,

I'll keep a good relationship with Fly-Joy

and won't cause troubles even I'm leaving.

I get it.

It's okay. I can understand.

I admire people who are as responsible as you.

Anyway, the door of Best Choice is already open.

We're waiting for you.

Thank you, President Hu.

I also hope that I can join this big family soon.

It's the statement about the labor dispute between Ms. Zheng and CEA

just posted by CEA's official Weibo account.

First,

According to CEA's regulations, Ms. Zheng's contract was canceled

due to the failure of half-year performance assessment.

She was informed a month earlier

and was provided with a compensation for N+2.

The above actions comply with national laws and company regulations.

Second,

Ms. Zheng posted a Weibo passage which claims that

she was sexually harassed by a founding partner of an investment bank

and she was dismissed after refused him.

The contents are inconsistent with the fact

and have caused great damage to CEA and Mr. Peter Fang.

We reserve the right to take legal measures against Ms. Zheng.

Third,

We also reserve the right to take legal measures

against the individuals and companies that spread rumors online.

What do you think?

Simple, but direct.

First,

they treat it as a labor dispute

and they are right.

Second,

It's a slander.

There's no sexual harassment

and they're ready to sue Zheng Qi.

Third,

They claim that we're spreading rumors

and they're ready to sue us, too.

The statement targets at us,

rather than the public.

How do we fight back?

Louise,

invite Zheng Qi here.

President Hu values feelings at first sight.

If she feels good, everything is okay then.

You've impressed her.

She offers you the position of marketing manager,

and gives you a good salary.

You take the credit for this, Yan.

I am deeply grateful.

It's really not a big deal.

But as far as I know,

You've finished the procedures in Fly-Joy.

Is there anything else?

Well...

What's wrong?

You have worries?

Or is there a better company for you to choose?

No, no, Director Yan,

don't get me wrong.

I was honest with President Hu.

I'm greatly optimistic about Best Choice's prospect.

And I've been well-prepared for it.

But...

But I used to be the marketing manager in Fly-Joy.

Then what's the meaning of changing my job

if I'm still a marketing manager?

You're not promoted but you get a higher pay.

And you know that

there's a much bigger future here than in Fly-Joy.

Yes. I understand.

But to be honest,

salary is secondary for me.

I left Fly-Joy for a larger platform and market.

That's why I choose Best Choice.

So I wonder...

if you could help me a little...

with the position.

What post do you want?

Marketing Director.

You're ambitious.

Ambition is my driving force.

That's true.

I can try.

Thank you.

But, though President Hu looks nice,

she's shrewd.

You were outstanding in Fly-Joy

but you'll be in a different industry.

She only offers you the position of manager

just to see how capable you are.

If you want to start as a director,

you need to...

give me some reasons to persuade her.

I get it.

Don't worry.

I'll prove it to you and President Hu that I deserve the position.

Good.

I'm looking forward to that.

Thank you.

I'm leaving.

See you.

It's done.

Let's start.

Has Peter Fang sexually harassed others?

I don't know.

Wrong.

You do.

But if I say yes,

will others ask that why I stayed alone with him?

You just heard about that.

And he was your boss, you couldn't say no to him.

Then how about this?

I heard that he did so.

But he was my boss.

I had no reason to avoid him before everything happened.

Correct.

Didn't you feel it inappropriate

when he called you late at night for a meal?

I did.

Then why did you go?

I said that he's my boss.

As far as I know, you often work overtime.

So do people often have late-night meals together?

Yes.

Then it's normal for him to call you for a meal at night, isn't it?

Yes.

Then you shouldn't feel it inappropriate.

Then, how about,

I didn't feel it inappropriate when I got his call

because we often work till late at night and eat things together.

Correct.

Then since when have you been uncomfortable with that?

When we went back to the hotel together and he asked me to go to his room.

Why did you agree since it was so late?

Once again,

he was my boss.

He only invited me to have a drink.

I thought it was okay.

I didn't want to offend him.

Good.

Practical.

Perfect speeches are always designed.

Apart from being afraid of upsetting him,

there's another point.

He's much older than me.

I had just become his assistant

so we didn't know each other well.

I thought...

he couldn't go so far as to do that.

But I was wrong.

Did you complain to the company?

Yes.

They ignored me,

even fired me.

They claimed they fired you because you bad performances.

It's easy to find a stick to beat a dog.

Our projects often last from half a year to a year.

I didn't even finish my project and get to know my performance.

Besides, it's the boss who grades our work with random standards.

Good.

Record what you just said again.

Ms. Zheng, It's been over a month from the incident.

You kept silent,

then why do you say it now?

I was afraid after that.

I thought if I kept away from him,

then everything would be fine.

But CEA asked me to resign.

So I made an appeal.

But they not only ignored my complaint,

but fired me in the name of bad performance.

I thought it was unfair to me

so I decided to speak it out.

Wasn't it inappropriate to go to a hotel with a man so late at night?

In this industry, we often work overtime and stay up late.

When we're off duty, we often go for a drink.

And he was my boss.

I never thought that he had an ulterior motive.

Can you tell us how many times Peter Fang sexually harassed you?

Ladies and gentlemen,

I believe that you all know the details of the matter.

This is the only press conference we've held.

There will not be another one.

I wish you could be merciful enough

to keep Ms. Zheng from inquiries and interviews,

and to leave her family and friends in peace.

I also hope that you can make one thing clear,

that this is not for entertainment.

Thank you.

Thank you!

The press conference is over.

Please move to the lounge.

We've prepared drinks and food for you.

Please.

This way.

It is not an isolated case.

It has severe social consequences.

Zheng Qi is not the only victim.

CEA's female analysts,

our colleagues, friends, family,

even you, who are watching this program,

may be or have been sexually harassed.

In CEA, an international corporation,

sexual harassment must have happened more than once.

Why did most of the victims swallow the insult and keep silent?

When one of them finally stood up,

why did CEA try to solve the problem merely with a dismissal notice?

How dare they?

On behalf of City Finance and the Women's Federation,

I'd like to express my support for Ms. Zheng's courageous action.

Female friends may know that

in America, there has been a massive "Me Too" campaign,

which has been supported by women around the world.

If you've been sexually harassed in the workplace or in the public,

please be brave, report it and expose it.

Together with Rights Protection Department of the Women's Federation, we've set up a hot-line.

Call 400-5219999,

and we're ready to help

and defend your rights and interests.

Director Wei,

the Women's Federation called.

They said that the Rights Protection Department would come to interview us.

They care much about Zheng Qi's case.

President Jiang will handle it.

Tell Anton it's on Friday afternoon.

Yes.

President Jiang's schedule is full till next Wednesday.

Only Friday afternoon is okay.

It's not okay.

What's wrong?

There'll be an interview by the Rights Protection Department.

What happened?

Director Wei want you to arrange it.

Okay.

Friday afternoon is not okay now.

The issue has reached the peak of its heat.

There have been 1.625 million pieces of information in days.

Among this month's top 10 trending topics,

it has 200,000 more than the total volume of the last nine.

It's amazing!

Of course.

I said it'd go viral.

See? It's all about you.

Let's see how CEA's PR department will respond.

They must've found another PR company.

Or they wouldn't have had that statement.

Hello?

Hello, is it Zheng QI?

Yes, who's it, please?

Yes,

I'm Jiao Han, Dongdu Weekly's special correspondent.

Dongdu Weekly's correspondent?

We'll handle this.

Hello, I am Zheng Qi's PR advisor.

I'll answer any of your questions.

PR advisor?

Yes.

We hope to write a feature on Ms. Zheng's case.

Feature?

Hang up.

No private interviews.

Excuse me, I've got another call.

I'll call you later. Is it okay?

Bye.

Write down all your personal social media accounts and passwords.

It's your new phone.

Except us,

you can only tell the number to your closest family.

Keep out of touch with others recently.

We will deal with the media.

Yes.

Write down your Weibo, ins and other accounts.

Vincent, it's been a long time since I heard you.

They've held a press conference.

You know that?

And check the websites.

The posts about CEA's senior executive sexually harassing a female employee are everywhere!

I've paid you! You should solve my problem.

You know?

How much have I paid you?

You need to fix it!

We understand.

President Deng,

since we've been paid, we will do our job.

But it's up to us,

as to how to deal with it.

Because we're more professional in crisis management.

Of course it's up to you.

But you have to tell me what you're going to do,

what your strategy is!

Our strategy is to do nothing.

What?

I know Wei Zhe.

For any response we make now,

he's figured out the next move.

As long as we come forward,

we'll jump into his trap

because they have the record after all.

We have nothing.

Is that your strategy?

To do nothing?

Then what's the point of paying you?

I'm not finished, President Deng.

Doing nothing now doesn't mean we won't do anything later.

This issue has reached the peak of its heat.

Wei Zhe can't wait to see us come forward,

because the heat will get higher,

and the influence will be greater.

So the best way is to make no response.

In at most a week,

the topic will be cooled down.

As the saying goes,

it takes two to make a quarrel.

They're trying to put pressure on CEA with public opinions.

Once the public pays no attention to it,

everything will be easy.

No response.

Are you sure?

What if...

Relax.

President Deng, no response doesn't mean we'll prepare nothing.

We'll get everything ready.

We'll let them know,

it's a tough battle,

and it has just begun.

Vincent,

why do you want to see me?

You're charming,

so I miss you.

Come on.

What's the matter?

You're famous now.

You helped Zheng Qi with the case of Peter Fang's sexual harassment.

I've been following it.

It's influential.

You know, I have a daughter.

I don't hope that my daughter would meet

a bad guy like Peter Fang when she grows up.

Therefore,

I must support you.

And my support wouldn't be just some words.

I should do something.

And guess what?

Money.

Clever.

You exposed Fang's deed,

so I guess CEA has pulled out.

Do you still want the financing for your IPO?

Of course we do.

Good.

Give me a chance.

Give First Capital a chance.

We'll try our best.

Vincent, I remember,

First Capital is not a charity.

Are you helping us?

Or retaliate against CEA?

Look at you, Wei Zhe.

You've not changed.

Always getting to the point.

You know it's business.

Sometimes we don't need be straightforward.

You know it.

CEA has poached a lot of clients from us.

Now I get a chance.

I also want to poach something from them.

Can't I?

Then, deal?

Deal.

I requested this meeting,

and I'm grateful for you to come.

I'm going to talk about two things.

Amy.

take down what I'm going to say.

It'll be a warning to me.

Last time, because of Zheng Qi's case,

I was being hotheaded and irresponsible.

I should apologize.

But I was hoping that we could be united.

We've come a long way.

Everyone present has been devoted.

I don't want to see that we'd fall apart just because of a little obstacle.

I am here in DL

just wishing we can create a better future for DL together.

Please believe in my sincerity.

I am sorry for what I said.

Wei Zhe is right.

The most important thing is to be united.

We can't be disorganized even before the enemy comes.

But I have to reiterate one thing.

President Jiang Yuanpeng,

guided me into this industry.

a drop of water in need shall be returned with a spring in deed.

I will never betray him.

I also hope that it's my last time to say it.

Wei Zhe,

I accept your apology.

Thank you.

On behalf of my dad, I'd also like to thank you,

and thank you all.

I am sorry for being so self-wiled.

After the apology,

here's the second thing.

Let me tell you something.

First Capital has proposed investing in DL.

Vincent has talked to me.

He would like to support us with IPO.

And they will invest a lot.

Why didn't you tell me?

You didn't tell me about the Weibo post.

Isn't there any other condition for investing in DL?

Of course yes.

The condition is,

we have to win this fight with CEA.

That's all?

That's all.

First Capital and CEA are sworn enemies.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend。

It makes sense.

So it means,

if we want their investment,

we have to take Zheng Qi's case?

Yes.

Personally,

I still can't agree with what President Jiang did.

You were being thoughtless.

Whatever happens,

personal emotions should never override the company's interests.

But this issue has developed into the situation now.

Given its complex social factors and First Capital's investment,

we need to discuss the case again.

As a woman,

I detest what CEA has done.

Therefore, I think,

we should take over the case completely.

We'll take it,

and we'll win it.

Take a look at this picture.

In the LFW test,

the accuracy rate has reached 99.87 percent.

The scale is bigger and the open environment is more complex

than others in this industry.

To create a virtual image,

all it needs is a full-face photo.

A highly matched 3D image will be generated.

Hollywood special effects will then be embraced by average consumers.

What do we have?

state-of-the-art and exclusive technology,

customization service,

and most importantly,

we'll launch it first.

♫ The breeze is still gentle. ♫
