[The Outsider]

[Episode 6]

Mr. Wang.

The document of Yu Zhiyuan's bribery case

is ready.

Turn it in to the authorities

and disclose the news to the media.

All right.

What about the suppliers who bribed him?

Publish all their names,

don't miss out on any.

Do we need to report this to Ms. Zhang?

I got it.

I'll do it right now.

[Nanjing Absolute Finals, Champion]

(Have you read the announcement?)

Yes.

It's said that there's going
to be a major supplier shuffle.

The headhunting agency
that collaborated with our department

will be replaced too.

(Wang Ju'an is implementing
the tri-party bidding model.)

(Such a big move.)

(I didn't expect)

(us to be inflicted)

(by the stupid thing Yu has done.)

Wang Ju'an isn't someone to mess with.

Have a seat.

I came here to apologize.

So, it's better if I stand.

I've given you the convenience
to do what you want,

but you seem to have gone overboard a bit.

The suppliers exposed are problematic.

You should be well aware

of how I managed the French branch before.

You have an iron fist, and you're impartial.

That's why I regard you highly.

However,

people might not appreciate your effort

even if I do.

Many eyes are on you,

waiting for the new CEO

to make mistakes.

I told you

I'd give you a brand new Ansheng.

So, I need your support.

No matter what they say,

that's not within my consideration.

Because I know

you have my back.

Am I right?

Certainly.

As long as it's not an over-correction,

you can always rely on me.

The name of the lift supplier is exposed.

Public opinion is going to twist soon.

Not really.

I've seen that.

No one really cares to read
the post for the truth.

The hot topic is still Yu's wife
jumping off the building.

Why?

Because people only believe

what they prefer to believe.

But the handbag Yu's wife had with her

is really a limited edition.

True.

The paltry salary of a manager
of the Procurement Department

can't afford that.

I won't believe

that Yu is clean.

You can't change the public views.

News about the bribery case
of a manager of the Procurement Department

can't be more shocking than
the ruthless conglomerate that exploited its staff

and forced his family member
to jump off the building.

The Internet is all about public attention,

not the truth.

Isn't it that netizens
have a short attention span?

Why haven't people left this behind yet?

Ansheng stays at the hot search these days.

It makes me think

that I'm in the entertainment industry now.

The news of a nobody

can actually remain viral for so long.

Don't you think netizens are too free?

No idea.

Tianming,

where are you now?

Don't coop yourself up in the server room.

You're the manager of the IT Department.

Let's do something big.

We've found Yu.

Still, it's weird that incident

could make Ansheng remain

on the top ten hot searches for such a long time.

So, I asked Tianming

to track down the users who search

for these keywords.

And we found that they're located

in Southeast Asian countries.

The server isn't in China.

To avoid legal disputes?

Yes.

I guess there's an agency
that manipulated the hot search system

behind all this.

With a mere Yu Zhiyuan,
such a big move is revealed.

I thought

our enemy just hired a few trolls.

They even used such advanced tactics.

Do you like playing cards?

Me?

Occasionally.

What do you do

if your opponent goes all-in from the beginning?

I'll tackle him for sure.

Are you ready, Su?

I've read through

all the questions.

Do we need to get our stories straight?

No need.

Just follow my lead later.

Understood?

[Start Media Interview]

Good day.

I'm Ya, the special correspondent of Star Media.

Today, the suicide incident at Ansheng Plaza,

which belongs to the Ansheng Group

has gone viral online.

So, how did this incident

happen?

Today, we're lucky

to have Mr. Wang Ju'an, the CEO of Ansheng Plaza,

and Miss Su, the staff of the Business
Development Department to be with us.

Hello, Mr. Wang.

Hello.

Hello, everyone.

Mr. Wang, based on the footage

circulating online

about the wife of
the dismissed purchasing manager, Yu,

who attempted to jump off Ansheng's building,

and she was saved by Miss Su,
who sits next to you.

Is this factually true?

First off, as the CEO of Ansheng Plaza,

I feel deeply sorry

about the unfortunate incident.

Concerning Mr. Yu Zhiyuan's case,

I have faith in the legal system
to give us a just verdict.

Speaking of Su, Ansheng's employee,

who made that spontaneous reaction

at the crucial moment,

to be honest,

I was surprised,

and I appreciated her effort.

Miss Su.

Can you tell us how you came up
with the idea of saving her

by kicking her handbag away?

It was urgent

and I couldn't think much of it.

So it was my instinctive reaction.

Is it because

you think that women always value

their handbags over their lives?

No, not all women would think that way.

Because I noticed

that she laid a tissue under her handbag.

And it showed that she cherished

the handbag very much.

Miss Su.

You kept highlighting the handbag.

Are you hinting to us

the owner of the handbag
didn't intend to commit suicide,

instead, she was staging all this?

We didn't highlight anything.

It was you who kept emphasizing the handbag.

Ansheng has already disclosed

evidence of Mr. Yu's bribery.

So, will you take any further action about it?

Certainly.

I deeply regretted

that I didn't surrender
Mr. Yu Zhiyuan to the police

when I found out about his malpractice

out of my kindness,

letting the subsequent incidents happen.

Every employee in Ansheng

is my family.

Whoever brings harm to them

has to pay for it.

If Su were to fall off from saving the woman,

I'll face nightmares

that trap me forever.

So, I can't forgive the perpetrator
of this incident.

We'll fully cooperate with the police

to hold him legally accountable.

Everyone should earn money
through a legal approach.

One shouldn't exploit the fortune contributed
by Ansheng's employees

to offer their family a luxurious life,

branded bags, and a chance to study abroad.

How could

they do that?

We know that Mr. Yu has a daughter.

You mentioned studying abroad just now.

Were you referring to her?

No.

I didn't refer to anyone.

It's Mr. Yu who made the mistake.

His family shouldn't be involved.

We shouldn't bring his daughter up.

(Blimey.)

(He's the icon of justice,)

(the bringer of light.)

(He's so good at manipulating
the public attention.)

(He deserves the Academy Awards.)

[Star Media Interview]
Mr. Wang is so cool.

Just by sitting there,

I feel so captivated by him.

Have you read the news?

It's a twist.

Who's this?

Yatch and branded bags.

She's Yu's daughter.

Netizens exposed her.

She always shows off her luxurious life online.

[Yu and Fish and Yu]
That's so extravagant.

So,

netizens

have started taking our side.

I guess the public will buy into the truth now.

Yu got canned

simply because he asked for it.

That's not a big deal, though.

Look at this.

He's just seeking

his demise.

They shouldn't act so ostentatiously.

Look what has happened to him now.

What stupid things did you do?

He reversed the public opinion
with just a few words.

Useless fool.

A sorry bunch of fools!

(Su Mo.)

(I can give you a ride home.)

(I'll wait for you downstairs.)

Wang Ju'an!

You're...

Wang Ju'an, the CEO of Ansheng.

Yes, I am.

Who are you?

Let go!

Who are you?

What are you doing?

Don't you know who I am?

You despicable prick.

You made people dox me.

Now that my photos are plastered
everywhere online.

And you said you don't know who I am.

Are you Yu's daughter?

Yes, it's me.

You put my parents in jail

and made the public dox me.

I can't even continue with my studies now.

Yet you stole the thunder

and have everything in your favor.

How are you going
to take responsibility for my family?

Why should I take responsibility for you?

You spent the embezzled money from your dad,

so you should bear the consequence.

How could you bully women?

So what?

Don't patronize me.

Stop it.

The one who caused you to be doxed

is your dad who took bribes

and your mom who staged a suicide.

The mastermind who made this incident viral

isn't Ansheng or Wang Ju'an.

You got the wrong person.

Who else could it be?

If he didn't say that in the interview,

I wouldn't have to endure this.

I don't care what my parents did.

I just want to focus on my study.

Why did you have to do that?

Study?

You posted pictures

of your luxurious life online.

Also, you were dismissed

because you failed all your courses.

What you had

is something people dream of.

It's you who doesn't cherish it.

I know who you're.

You're the woman who bullied my mom

in the video, right?

Turns out you two are in cahoots with each other.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Stop that!

You're heartless!

Be careful.

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

I thought you were witty,

but why were you so slow?

Are you all right?

I'm all right.

But you might have to wash my clothes.

Can't you just take the clothes to wash?

Dear, look at me.

When I'm on the red carpet later,

there'll be media on both sides,

and I'll make my appearance.

Isn't your back showing too much?

Not at all.

The latest designs this year
are all in this style.

Dear, you're so great.

If it weren't for you to approach
the brand sponsor,

I wouldn't have had the chance

to wear the latest design.

I must thank you too, Mr. Shang.

If you didn't introduce me

to Lam Film Company,

I wouldn't have a chance

to walk the red carpet in a film festival.

Thank you, Mr. Shang.

Of course.

Without Mr. Shang's help,

you wouldn't have the chance to do so.

Come on, show it to Mr. Shang.

Dear, let's do it together.

Sure.

Su.

You should treat us to a meal.

Didn't Cong Rong tell you about that?

You're now officially our employee.

I am?

Surprised?

The Business Development Department

added another spot

and transferred your third-party contract

to Ansheng.

Congratulations.

Good luck.

Chun.

What's wrong with you?

Are you still stewing on that?

Yu's wife is to blame.

Her acting was ridiculously fake.

Why did she put a branded handbag beside her
when she was going to jump off the building?

What on earth was wrong with her?

If Qi were her,

it'd have been perfect.

Perfect.

Come on, show him now.

I did play a role
of jumping off the building before,

I did way better than her.

I'll get you another bottle.

Chun.

You can't blame me for this.

Fake suicide

and trendy topics

were all your idea.

It has nothing got to do with me.

Look how eager you divest yourself of this.

Are you that afraid of Wang Ju'an?

How could you say that?

What makes him better than you

except for his older age?

You have more shares than him,

and you stay at Ansheng longer than him.

Are you convinced

to be under his thumb for good?

Let me tell you this, Chun.

The day I stepped into the Wang's residence,

I swear to myself

that I, Wang Siwei, am going to be the owner

of this house.

There you go.

Both of you will fight head-on sooner or later.

You shouldn't back off
whenever something happens.

Chun.

Why do I have a feeling

that you're setting a trap for me?

Why would I do that?

We're in the same boat.

Think about this.

Where's your place in Ansheng

if Wang Ju'an has secured his there?

[CEO Wang Ju'an]

Mr. Wang, Hao Chengyi is here.

Come in.

Mr. Wang, why did you ask for me?

Take a seat first.

I prefer not to.

I've read your mail.

They are just immature ideas.

Many people have given suggestions

on departmental optimization,

but I think only the two points you mentioned

are on point.

I can tell you've been contemplating this

for quite some time.

Yes, I have.

You see,

I've been with Ansheng for eight years.

During that time,

I've worked in various departments.

I started in a small position.

So I have some understanding

of different aspects.

Aside from the two suggestions,

what other problematic aspects

did you discover from Ansheng?

Well...

Is the organization flawless

or do you dare not speak up?

I think the department integration plan
is all right.

However, the people in charge

have issues.

The structure can't be effective

no matter how good it is.

So, I think

personnel change should take place.

Be specific.

I can't explain it in one word or two.

How about this?

I'll sort out my thoughts into a proposal for you

in three days.

Mr. Wang.

May I hand it over to you personally?

Sure.

No problem.

If there's nothing else,

I'll leave.

Okay.

Can you tell me about Cao Ruocheng?

Cao Ruocheng?

I gather that you two are quite close.

Mr. Wang, where did you hear that from?

Actually, we're not.

We play bowling or such together

occasionally.

Well, Cao

is brave to take risks and strive.

Previously,

he has made many contributions to Ansheng.

But in recent years,

I find that he has become passive.

Many personal issues arose

because of his negligence.

Is it simply because he's lazy

and negligent?

There might be more reasons behind this.

Su.

Mr. Cao.

I've heard about it.

Congratulations.

You're now part of Ansheng.

Thank you, Mr. Cao.

I'll keep up the good work.

I know I have a good assessment of people.

You don't know about it, do you?

The spot didn't exist initially.

During the last departmental meeting,

I bitterly complained

the situation to Mr. Wang.

I really went to great lengths.

Finally, they ease their control

over the human resources budget.

Really?

Yes.

As you know,

every department needs a workforce,

and everyone is eyeing new hires.

I told them

Ms. Cong of the Business Development Department

is in most desperate need of a workforce.

Unlike Procurement and Finance departments

don't have the demand as urgently.

That's why they allocated the spot
to your department.

I'm so grateful to you

that I don't know what to say.

You're taken aback, right?

I really like staff like you.

Less talking, more working.

Mr. Cao.

I won't let you down.

Get back to your work.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers.

Congrats.

Congrats, Su Mo.

Finally, your effort paid off.

Like she's pitiful.

Su Mo has never been mistreated

in our department.

Oh, come on.

I know how things are going on

between arrogant white-collar workers.

They only can seek attention

from janitors

and third-party employees.

All of them have their noses in the air.

Have you heard about this?

Women who sit inside cubicles

and type on keyboards

are no different from women who worked
on machines in factories

back then.

Why do they have to take in dispatch labor

and treat them as if they're the lowest level
of the pyramid?

I just don't get it.

They should treat everyone fairly

if they recruit them.

Because of the consideration
of reducing labor costs.

When Su Mo first came in,

there was no spot for her.

If it weren't for this opening,

she wouldn't

get this job.

By the way, Cong.

I was told that Mr. Cao
from HR Department helped me too.

Cao Ruocheng?

I have no idea.

What did he tell you?

He said he's seen to my employment.

I guess so.

This guy

is on Zhang Yanan's side.

He's considered a senior employee.

If he speaks up,

the higher-ups will somewhat say yes.

Well done, Su Mo.

It shows that you're well-liked.

HR Department has a good impression of you.

Cong, don't tease me.

Anyway, it's always good

to keep a good relationship with them.

Come on.

Congrats.

(When I embrace this city,)

(she receives me with open arms too,)

(like a requited love.)

(Only when we're brave to go near our dream,)

(will dream approach us in return.)

Mr. Wang.

Please take a look at this.

Haven't you settled
the acquisition of the Site 933 project?

I heard that several stores
by the roadside refuse to move.

What to do, then?

Maybe I can set up a meeting this afternoon?

Will that be helpful?

All right.

I'll make the arrangements now.

Useless bunch.

And that's what happened.

Isn't this infuriating?

Since they wanted our land to build houses,

they should relocate us back

after the construction is done.

Look at what they've done.

They just kicked us out to the suburbs.

Nothing about houses is guaranteed boons

except for its location.

Don't you think so?

But houses in the suburb

with a wide coverage of subway lines
are expensive too.

What are you talking about?

It's not comparable to the city center.

That place is so close to Kunshan

in Jiangsu province.

Besides,

a snack shop should be in the downtown area,

that's where people buy snacks.

If we're too far away,

our business will be going down.

I can't allow this, Zhong.

We mustn't let this off easily.

It's said

that the current policies are transparent.

Things just won't go the way you want.

We never try,

we never know.

Aunt.

Are they going to build houses

after the demolition?

I'm not sure.

Well,

this is the document they gave us.

[Introduction to Intelligent Community Project
of Hezhong Real Estate]

I think this is a company under Ansheng.

Su Mo.

Do you know anyone from the company?

Can you help us?

Don't make it difficult for her.

Su Mo is just a staff.

Aunt, you overestimate me.

My words

carry no weight.

To be honest,

I don't believe what they said.

I won't sign the document,

and they can't do anything to me.

Mr. Wang.

We contacted the lift factory last week,

and we tried to arrange the lift renovation
at both headquarters

and Ansheng's Phase 1 renovation project

at the same time.

The problem is the levels are high,

so the operation and waiting times

will be slightly longer.

We can't do much about that.

I know you've been staying up late these days.

I'll send you some delicious treats later.

A new girlfriend again?

It's Qi.

How's the land acquisition coming along?

Several stores in the neighboring streets
refuse to move.

Since the rate of demotion agreement signing
is enough,

hurry and get it done.

This plot is very important to Ansheng.

We can't afford any delay.

Do you think they're easy to deal with?

Be mindful of your words in public.

All right, Ju'an.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Why did you cluck like I did?

When did I cluck like you did?

Hasten the progress as fast as possible.

Make sure the payment goes well. Remember this.

Don't cause any trouble to Ansheng.

Got it?

Anyway, I won't commit

any illegal action.

I will hand over the plot to you.

[Good Morning Scallion Pancake]
How many do you want?

I want two, please.

Okay.

One bowl of millet porridge.

Please help yourself.

I want two pancakes, please.

Okay. Two pancakes.

Here you go.

One bowl of millet porridge.

Please help yourself with the porridge.

Good. The exact amount.

Two scallion pancakes, please.

How many do you want?

Two.

Okay.

I want two pancakes.

Okay.

One bowl of millet porridge.

You can take the porridge yourself.

Wait, I'll get you a straw.

Okay.

Here, please help yourself.

What's going on?

What has happened?

Someone lives in that house.

That's dangerous. Are they going to tear it down?

How bold.

This is outrageous.

What's going on?

Zhong.

Come on here.

What has happened?

It's dangerous.

Hurry over and look.

What are they doing?

What are you doing over there?

People might get hurt.

What are you doing over there?

Hey!

You're affecting my business.

What's your deal?

Stop!

What are you doing?

Hey!

Come down.

Hey!

It's dangerous here.

Stop causing us trouble here.

What are you doing?

Huh?

We're doing our work,

What work?

We're running our business here,

yet you're tearing down the houses.

This is ridiculous.

You've affected our business.

Why are you standing here?

Go and block them over there.

Don't let them demolish the houses.

Go now.

This is not our duty to deal with you.

If you have any questions,

you can talk to our superior.

Who's your superior?

Get the person here right now.

How dare you!

Stop!

Stop it!

You're damaging my shop.

Did you hear me?

Stop it!

I...

We got the order

that all stores will be demolished,
except for yours.

Get back to your work.

This is ridiculous.

Let's continue.

Zhong!

Go and take our things out!

Hurry up!

Okay, got it.

What are you doing there?

Come down.

They're simply tearing down the building.

You...

You're outrageous.

We haven't signed the agreement yet,

and you've started to tear down houses.

This is outrageous.

Ugh.

Stop it!

Stop!

You guys, stop.

I won't let you off.

How are we going to continue with the business?

Can't we file a suitcase against them?

Given the current situation,

it's difficult.

I need to gather more information on this.

No need.

The stores around us
have almost been demolished.

We can't carry on with the business at all.

It's better to sign the contract now

and end this hassle.

What about your injury?

After all, I fell on my own.

They should be held accountable for this too.

Sheng is sitting for
the college entrance exam soon.

Concerning her temper,

she'll get sidetracked

after knowing about this.

I don't care about

our houses and business.

Only her future matters to me.

So, you want to keep this from Zhong Sheng?

By the way,

remember

not to let her know about this.

Gosh.

Dad, Mom. I'm home.

What happened to your arm?

It's nothing. I tripped myself

when I checked my phone while walking.

You always scold us for phone snubbing.

But you fell because of that.

Let me check. Is it serious?

No. It's nothing.

Just a minor scrape.

Why do you need a plaster cast then?

Anyway, our store will be closed for some time

due to the demolition.

Your dad can rest during this time.

Don't worry.

Really?

Yes.

Go and study.

No need to worry about me.

Well, I'll go in to study.

Go ahead.

I'll call you when the dinner is ready.

Put that down.

Please let me help.

Your arm hasn't recovered yet.

Don't make more hassle.

You should just sign the agreement.

I won't.

We're sitting ducks against those people.

Let's not ask for more trouble.

After my arm is healed

and Zhong Sheng gets into the college,

we can enjoy our time and do something we like.

Though our life may not be wealthy,

it's still satisfactory.

Don't make things difficult for ourselves.

We have dignity and mustn't back down so easily.

That's how we're different

from the dead.

Zhong.

You're right.

We should sign the demolition agreement soon

and cut ties

with those unscrupulous businessmen.

Even looking at the word "Ansheng"

makes me sick.

You've thought it through?

Yes. I can't just paint myself into the corner.

[Demolition]

[Good Morning Scallion Pancake]

Congratulations.

You traded one 10-square-meter store

for two resettlement houses.

It's a great deal.

The place can't be any closer to Dianshan Lake.

You call this a great deal?

Demolish the building.

Demolish the building.

Okay, these three lines

have three linear equations
with three unknowns.

Use one minute

to calculate the coordination
of three vertices.

How did you manage to get only one question wrong

in the math mock test?

I was careless.

I skipped that.

Careless?

Fine. Forget what I asked.

(Great news.)

[Transcript of Monthly Exam in May]
You ranked 19th in the class this time.

If I round up,

it should be top 10 in the class, right?

Round up, seriously?

Is that wrong?

Now, I know why his math is poor.

Anyway,

Jian has made quite a progress this time.

You deserve compliments.

Let's celebrate for him.

Thank you.

Keep up the good work.

Your "Ding-Dong-Dang" girl...

What are you talking about?

Her name is Zhong Sheng.

Which college does she want to apply to?

Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University.

That's considered a high threshold for you.

But

if you want to get closer to her,

I do have an idea.

Shut it.

No lame ideas.

Continue to work hard.

Wang Jian has just grown an interest
in the studies,

yet you want to throw cold water on him.

I prepared this dinner

to celebrate your good results

this time.

Eat as much as you want.

No.

I can't eat.

I need to study now.

Next morning,

my teacher gave me a doll.

(Hey.)

Wang Jian.

Let's play basketball.

We're waiting for you.

Leave me alone.

Are you really not coming with us?

Ma'am.

I can't solve this question.

I'll explain it to you once again.

Didn't we go through this before?

[Subject: Mathematics]

What a lavish meal.

Well, you see,

the college entrance exam

is finally over.

You've worked so hard in the last three years.

So, we've prepared a few extra dishes

to reward you.

Let's raise our glasses.

Come on.

Congratulations, Zhong Sheng
has completed the college entrance exam.

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

Zhong Sheng.

This is your favorite ham hock.

Thank you, Mom.

Su Mo, your favorite shrimp.

Thank you.

Oh, right.

I have something to show you.

What's this?

You've got the resettlement houses?

We came up with a plan.

These two houses

are too far away from the downtown.

So, we'll lease them out

and use the rental income

to rent a small store.

So, we can continue
with the scallion pancake business.

What do you think?

Sounds great.

I know, right?

But is it easy to find a store?

Not at all.

The rental is so hefty.

And the location of cheaper stores
isn't strategic.

Don't worry, Aunt.

With Uncle's skills,
you can build your business well again.

I'm so pissed off

when you remind me of that.

If it hadn't been for that devious Ansheng,

his arm wouldn't have been injured badly.

Aunt, let's eat.

Zhong Sheng will know sooner or later.

So, Dad didn't hurt his arm accidentally,

it was Ansheng who caused it?

Tell me everything.

What has happened?

I can't just let this pass.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

I just want to ask what Ansheng wants to do.

By the way, Mo,

does your company have an official account

and a Weibo account?

Yes.

But you have to tell me

what you're planning to do.

Don't go overboard.

I'm not doing anything funny.

I want to expose

how Ansheng made use of the law

and caused my dad's injury

to the public.

Also, I'll tag the CEO, Wang Ju'an

and ask if he's aware of this.

Don't be impulsive.

Do you want me to let them go unpunished?

No, it's not that.

But we can't act

in the heat of the moment.

If you want to take legal action,

you need enough evidence
to support your allegations.

And it's better to seek professional advice.

You're getting into a college this year.

You shouldn't let this distract you.

I'll handle this.

You should focus on your studies.

[Strive and surpass]

It's such great news that Jian
can pass the cut-off

of first-tier colleges.

All of us would just wake up
in jubilation at night.

Here.

You're now an adult.

Let's drink.

Congrats, little brat.

Congrats, little brat.

Thank you, Ju'an, Siwei.

What present do you want?

Tell me.

I'll give you anything you ask for.

Keep your word.

Don't renege on it.

Of course.

You can major in management course
in the college here

and go abroad later.

I planned this

long ago.

The two of you

majored in management course.

So, I was thinking of making a change.

Right?

What do you mean?

Meaning to say,

I'm going to register for a performing arts major.

What?

What?

Performing arts.

Say it properly.

Performing arts.

Why this?

I like it.

When I was in kindergarten,

I started playing Hamlet.

I was good at it.

Here's the thing.

There are a thousand Hamlets

in a thousand people's eyes.

You know this, right?

So, who do you think you are?

You said you like performing arts.

You can sign up for an acting course.

Well, here's what I think.

Just let him be if he really likes it.

He may not necessarily work as an actor

in the future.

Shut it.

Siwei.

I want to be a professional actor.

Let me show you

what professionalism is.

Hello.

I'm going to perform...

I'm going to perform...

I thought you had to sit for the art exam

before registering for the major.

Did you take it?

I did and I nailed it.

Oh, I did hear Qi mention

that the art exam is during winter break.

So, you've been planning this for a long while.

Why didn't you discuss this with us?

Let me tell you this.

My classmate

asked me to go for the exam with him
because he was afraid.

In the end, he didn't pass while I did.

Besides, Zhong Sheng is at Fudan University.

The schools are close to each other.

So, it's because of Zhong Sheng?

You can say that.

Ju'an, say no more.

I have my own plan.

I decide my own future.

You've worked so hard and burnt the midnight oil

to barely pass the cut-off for first-tier college.

You want your effort to go to waste?

I studied so hard

not because I wanted to go to a good college.

Please don't get me wrong.

You can't contain your joy, right?

Wang.

That's the thing now.

Siwei.

You too.

You need to digest this.

You brat.

-No, Ju'an.
-Don't stop me.

Are you going to beat me?

Let go.

Don't hit my face.

I...

Don't try to convince him.

He doesn't even listen to his parents,

let alone you.

But if your mom were still around,

she might be able to keep him in check.

Bringing up our moms now is no use.

It's better to find out who he will listen to.

How would I know who he listens to?
