[The Outsider]

[Episode 7]

I'd like to ask you for a favor.

You can entrust me with any work, Mr. Wang.

I said it's a favor,

so it's not about work.

Will Zhong Sheng apply to Fudan University?

Now, Wang Jian is dead set
on taking performing arts.

Because the school is next to Fudan.

So?

Obviously, he made this decision
in the heat of the moment.

I hope you can ask Zhong Sheng
to talk some sense into him.

He won't listen to anyone,

but definitely not Zhong Sheng.

Choosing target colleges is personal.

Zhong Sheng has no say in this.

She's Wang Jian's good friend.

So, does Zhong Sheng need to give him

a friendly reminder?

Zhong Sheng is very likely
to go to bat for Wang Jian

because they are friends.

Not everyone

tends to impose thoughts on others

like you do.

What do you mean by "like me"?

Wang Jian is actually gaslighting.

He chooses a new major because of Zhong Sheng

and changes his life path.

It'll be bad if Zhong Sheng
feels responsible for him

and she begins to blame herself,
get depressed and annoyed,

ending up affecting her studies.

This isn't good for Zhong Sheng either.

That's too bad.

You must stop Wang Jian.

Yes, I will stop him.

But I'm out of my depth now.

That's why I need your help.

Besides, Zhong Sheng isn't entirely

unrelated to this.

Hadn't she suddenly changed her major choice,

this wouldn't have happened.

Zhong Sheng changed her major choice

because of Ansheng.

What do you mean?

You seem to be clueless

about someone getting injured at Site 933.

My uncle's snack store is at Site 933.

Siwei takes charge of Site 933.

Are you saying that he demolished
the building forcefully?

The property developers

won't openly challenge the law.

But the demolition squad started digging

around my uncle's store

and caused him to get injured.

He couldn't work with his hand,

so he had to close the store.

At last, he signed the agreement.

That's the reason spurring Zhong Sheng

to change to a finance major.

Shouldn't Ansheng be held accountable?

All right, I know about it.

If you want Ansheng to take responsibility,

we won't escape from this.

But this is an official matter,

you need to file a lawsuit

and provide legal judgment.

No need.

In fact, I didn't want to bring up this matter.

I hope that you won't blame Zhong Sheng

for Wang Jian.

Is it appropriate to speak
to your superior with that tone?

What tone?

I know we're in the office now.

But we're talking about something personal.

Professionally, you're my superior.

Personally, you're Wang Jian's brother.

Concerning the disturbance Wang Jian
has brought to Zhong Sheng,

I think my tone

is friendly enough.

All right.

You do make some sense.

Now, I'm not your superior,

it's easy, then.

What are you doing?

I'm Wang Jian's brother.

Please ask Zhong Sheng
to talk some sense into him.

This concerns his future.

Please.

I'll tell Zhong Sheng

about Wang Jian's decision.

But Zhong Sheng will decide for herself

if she wants to persuade Wang Jian.

Whether or not Wang Jian changes his mind,
it depends on him.

It's tiring for a man to go shopping.

However,

it's not tiring at all

when shopping with a pretty lady.

Well, all right.

That's it, then. Bye-bye.

Didn't I remind you about Site 933?

Who did you learn such lousy ways from
to deal with it?

I don't know what you are talking about.

Someone got injured, right?

Are you talking about that holdout?

That fellow fell on his own.

It's his own problem.

I've told you

not to let such things happen
during the demolition.

Excuse me.

I didn't shut off the water supply
and electricity.

Also, no one's life is in danger.

But what you've done is nothing better.

Don't patronize me.

Why do you care so much about a mere holdout?

Because the injured man

is the father of that smart girl Jian likes.

Seriously?

So, are you blaming me
for not cutting him some slack

for the sake of Jian?

That fellow should've told us sooner.

Do you enjoy teasing me
with the benefit of hindsight?

Shut up.

No matter who the holdout is,

you've handled it improperly.

I only know that you and I
always can't get along properly.

But how did you know about this?

Jian didn't mention anything.

Where did you get that news from?

You don't need to know that.

You're strange, you know?

My power has been pulled out

from the core scope of Ansheng's business,

right?

I need to hand over the plot to you on time
and that's all.

Why do you care

how I manage that?

As the elder brother, shouldn't I...

Are you my brother

or the CEO of Ansheng now?

If you're my brother,

why would you remove me from the company

as soon as you return?

And if you're the CEO of Ansheng,

why would you care

such trivial things
about the demolition project?

You see things emotionally.

That's why we can't get along
with each other properly.

You're not any better.

So, this is the furthest we can come

to each other?

This is the very best

we can do.

Also, regarding Wang Jian,

I must remind you not to push him too hard.

There are many things more likely
to get out of your hand

the more you want to control.

Pushing him into a dire corner

is something neither of us wants to see.

Mo, I've done washing up.

It's your turn.

Sheng.

Did you decide to study finance

because of money?

Mo.

Why bring up this again?

What are you looking at?

Did you draw this?

What is this?

It has abs

on the belly.

You start from the wrong page.

This is the last page.

Let me see.

Sheng.

I have loved drawing

since I was in elementary school.

When I was little,

I dreamed of becoming a fashion designer.

But I know

that dreams can't be achieved easily.

Only very few people can integrate

what they love into work.

But I truly hope you can be one of them.

Your parents aren't considered rich in Shanghai,

but a family that collects rental

isn't considered poor.

Do you really want to give up on your dream

to make money?

Mo, you took me wrong.

Becoming a doctor isn't my exact dream.

I just want to help more people.

When I was little,

my parents used to tell me

that doctors who save lives

is the greatest profession.

But

after Dad's arm got injured,

I realized

that even with doctors,

the poor still can't receive treatment.

So, if I want to help others,

I need to become very rich at first.

Just like the philanthropist

who donates to Africa.

Do you know

his donation exceeds tens of billions?

But his contribution isn't as significant

as those volunteer doctors in Africa.

He just donated a small portion of his property.

While the doctors...

While the doctors

have devoted everything they have.

But you can't deny

that without financial support,

those doctors wouldn't be able

to give treatments in Africa.

So, before I help others,

I must make myself strong.

I didn't know

you'd already thought it through.

I think I've underestimated you.

Of course.

Besides, my math result is excellent.

It'll be a loss

if I don't study finance.

But please don't tell anyone about this,

especially not my parents.

If they were to know about this,

they'd think that I'm childish.

I must keep my action silent.

Point taken.

I'll go washing up.

The drawing is great.

(But I know)

(that dreams can't be achieved easily.)

I heard that you changed your major.

Yes.

I switched to performing arts.

Why?

Because I like it.

But I was told

you did that

to be closer to me.

No, it's not that.

My dream is to learn acting

and become an actor.

Mind not about this.

It's not entirely because of you.

I'm not taking the fall

if your brother knows this.

He's hormonal,

and he has a bad temper.

Don't mind him.

Why did you suddenly change your target college?

I thought you wanted to be a doctor.

That's not pragmatic.

When did you become so pragmatic?

This is not about being pragmatic,

I'm just honest.

I'm honestly facing my desire.

Isn't that good?

It is.

Actually, no matter what you choose,

just go with what you want.

When I was little, adults used to tell me

that all roads lead to Rome.

But then I realized

Rome isn't a place I can go

when I want.

Wherever you want to go,

I'll follow.

Don't look at me like that.

I won't back down.

Nothing can shake my will

to pursue performing arts.

Have you ever thought of this?

People will change.

I'm not talking about others,

I'm talking about you.

Right now, you think Zhong Sheng matters to you,

but soon, you might change your mind.

By that time, you'll blame me

for not stopping you from doing silly things.

Ju'an.

Has this ever crossed your mind?

I studied so hard
that my head was about to explode,

and I barely passed the cut-off
for first-tier colleges.

But I could pass

the acting exam

without any preparation.

Why?

Because the acting exam was easy.

No, it was not.

Only 40 candidates are picked
out of a few thousand.

It's much more challenging
than getting into Fudan.

I don't care what others think,

I only care about you.

You choose this

because it's easy.

But you can't simply choose easy things.

But it's not easy.

It's because I like it
from the bottom of my heart.

Naturally, I do well at it.

I don't like all those things

you want me to do.

You shouldn't decide

your preference

on a whim.

No, I didn't decide this on a whim.

Before this,

I've never thought about

what I should do in the future.

My life is all well-designed since I was young.

When I knew Zhong Sheng switched her major,

I started to reconsider

about the target college,

and I realized

that out of all possibilities,

the only thing that interested me

is performing arts.

I've never known that I liked this.

But when it's presented before me,

I knew

this is what I must do.

These are the most sincere words I heard from you

since you learned to speak.

So, you're not doing this
entirely because of Zhong Sheng?

No.

I need time to think about it.

Wang.

Doesn't that mean you said yes?

Wang.

I love you.

You're incredibly handsome.

Can you think of some new compliments

instead of this?

I wish you could successfully win the heart

of the woman you like.

Gosh, enough.

Get off me.

All right.

Get off me.

Okay.

(Are you approve of Wang Jian's choice?)

Yes.

This is his dream.

I'll support him.

Dream?

Do you think Wang Jian
doesn't deserve to have dreams?

Does he even need that?

So, all we can do

is live our lives aimlessly until we die?

I didn't say that.

For now, I'm not your superior.

I'm Wang Jian's brother.

You can tell me your true thoughts.

True thoughts?

I think people like Wang Jian

should have a dream of making and earning money
however he wants

or creating

a business empire or such.

So, it's all related to money?

More or less.

You're bold enough, you know?

But that's superficial.

Don't tell me you have a dream
beyond making money.

What's this?

My dream.

But it's too early to talk about it now.

Someday, it'll come true.

(Can you hurry up?)

Cao, you see,

it's raining heavily today.

Let's play another day.

That's not a big deal.

We play bowling indoors.

I've booked our spots at the indoor stadium.

Hurry up.

Look at my messy table.

I need to tidy up.

It's not that I don't want to play with you.

You lost the game every time.

It's not fun at all.

Clean your table, I'll step out.

Su.

Mr. Cao.

Do you stay to work extra hours today?

No.

It's raining outside.

I just ordered a cab. I'm waiting.

It's not easy to get a cab at this hour.

Where do you live?

Near Jiangsu Road.

Jiangsu Road?

How fortuitous.

Mine is near Yuyuan Road.

It's the new apartment that opened last year.

Your place is close to mine.

I can drive you home.

No need, it's too much trouble.

Don't be shy.

It's on the way.

Besides, I guess it'll take more than an hour

to get a cab in this weather.

Cancel your request.

I'll have to trouble you, then.

No need to be so courteous.

Cao.

Well, let's meet up another day.

I'll be leaving.

It's slippery. Drive carefully.

Here.

I can do it myself.

It's cool.

Thank you, Mr. Cao.

You're welcome.

Let me help you.

You might not know about this.

There are some issues

with the seat belt.

It only functions well

when I do it.

Look.

It only listens to me

when I pull it.

Mr. Wang.

Is that Su?

I heard that Su is well-liked.

But I didn't know Mr. Cao

favors her too.

Young ladies nowadays don't really mind

sitting in the car

of married men.

Shouldn't they keep some distance
from married men?

I didn't know you were so traditional.

That's nice.

Yes, she should keep some distance from him.

Mr. Cao has a family.

But come to think of it,

I often give my female colleagues
a ride home too.

It's not a big deal.

Are you married?

No.

I'll soon.

Let's get going.

Okay.

Let's go.

(It's raining now.)

I mustn't drive fast.

Besides, I mustn't be impatient.

Right?

Su.

Have you learned to dance before?

You carry yourself so elegantly.

You're different from other girls in the office.

And you know what,

many girls

like to wear collarbone necklaces these days.

What design do you like?

Neither.

What a character.

You're unique.

I guess you probably often buy these things

for your wife, right?

We've been married for a long time.

We don't really care about doing that anymore.

No, that won't do.

Couples always need to do something
to keep their marriage fresh.

You're always caring towards your subordinates.

I'm sure you must be considerate
towards your family too.

Keep the marriage fresh?

Truth be told,

I'm about to get a divorce from my wife.

(There are no more sparks between us,)

(let alone keep the marriage fresh.)

(Once one gets married,)

(men and women start to part ways in some sense.)

As for women,

they only care about trivial matters in life.

But men need something beautiful,

like engaging with young and lively girls

like you.

Mr. Cao.

This is a subway station ahead.

Please drop me off there.

It's raining heavily now.

I can't leave you halfway

like this.

Su.

Do you like cars?

No.

You have no desires, huh?

A person needs some desires

to make them more down-to-earth.

Regardless of men or women,

everyone needs desires, right?

You girls are raised to be obedient,

and therefore,

you never speak your true thoughts.

But times have changed.

You need to express yourself bravely.

Su.

I know you're smart

and pick up things fast.

I'm so fed up dealing with those

who're not bright and slow.

It's tiring.

But you're different, Su.

You're a witty lady.

Well,

one should live sensibly.

Pull over at the front.

I want to get off.

I was kidding.

Don't be angry.

I can't pull over here.

Pull over at the front!

I can't.

Stop the car!

What's wrong with you?

Fine, I'll pull over.

You can't get off here.

What on earth is wrong with her?

I'll be right there.

Anna.

I've left the document Mr. Cao asked for

on your table.

Mr. Cao.

Is that for me?

Yes.

Take it inside.

Mr. Cao, this is the document you requested.

Thank you.

Hold on.

Is there anything else, Mr. Cao?

Do you like this?

It's for you.

I have no interest in ornaments.

Van Cleef & Arpels.

The four-leaf clover in medium-sized.

18,000 yuan for one.

What does it have to do with me?

What's the hurry?

The day you got down from the car
at the junction,

I got fined 200 and three points demerit.

Shouldn't you compensate my loss?

Compensate you?

You asked for it.

I asked for it?

Oh,

you can't say that.

I value

fairness very much.

So, you have to explain this to me

today

before you're allowed to leave.

Right?

What are you doing?

Let go of me.

You get excited, huh?

Let go!

Again?

Let go!

Mr. Cao...

Su, as the HR manager,

I can't help you much.

You should talk to Ms. Cong.

She even turned down a necklace
worth tens of thousands.

Is she a hard nut to crack

or playing hard to get?

Who?

Who else could it be?

Is it Su Mo I saw that day?

Don't you think

she's so charming?

Cao, you better don't get into this.

Don't you get along well with your wife?

What you see is superficial.

We'll get a divorce sooner or later.

But Su Mo has rejected you,

so you should give up.

This woman

isn't as simple as I thought.

Could it be that she found

the necklace was fake?

Did you give her a fake necklace?

It's a high-quality knockoff.

Not cheap.

What do you think

girls like?

I wouldn't know about that.

Heed my advice,

stop messing with her.

If she exposes you,

your image will be ruined.

Nothing to worry about.

She doesn't have the gall

to go against the HR manager.

Unless she wants to lose her job.

Besides,

she's a woman, and I'm a man.

If words get out,

only she'll be affected.

Seriously?

Be careful with your words.

I'll gain 5 kg if I lie.

Anna told me this.

Think about this.

She's a third-party employee,

but it only took her an extremely short time

to become an official employee.

But Su Mo

is remarkably competent.

And we witnessed

how she closed a big deal with Mr. Lu.

-Also...
-But don't forget

that she was hired
through special arrangements.

I know she has connections from the higher-up.

But I didn't expect her

to be so disgraceful.

Hush.

Jessica.

The restaurant you wanted to try yesterday
has opened today.

Let's go there for lunch.

I have plans at noon.

What about tonight?

My eldest child has an English lesson tonight.

Maybe next time.

Sure.

I can't believe

even Cao could get a mistress.

Me neither.

It's Su from the Business Development Department.

The pretty new hire?

Indeed, pretty faces are useful.

You know what?

She broke the record in Ansheng

to get employed in the shortest time.

Is it because she has something with Cao?

What other reason could that be?

She doesn't even have a bachelor's degree.

There's no other way to climb up

except for using those lousy tricks.

We must stay away from her.

After all,

she's not cut from the same cloth

as 211 university graduates like us.

Didn't you graduate from universities
in Project 211?

Look how terribly you behave

when you badmouth others.

Who do you think you're to criticize others?

What's wrong with me?

Care to share?

Let's leave.

You're ridiculous.

Don't bother with her.

Let's leave.

(As the staff of
the Business Development Department,)

I want to file a formal complaint

against Cao Ruocheng, the HR Manager,

who repeatedly sexually harasses me

at work.

A formal complaint?

Do you know what consequences you will face?

Since I dared stand before you,

I'm ready to face the repercussions,
whatever it takes.

I know Mr. Cao helped me

to get employed.

Even if

I have to go back to being an intern,

I insist on telling on him.

Who told you he helped you?

Mr. Cao told me.

Can you not believe everything people tell you?

Hao Chengyi

has a niece

who just graduated from college.

She has a good image.

I've already interviewed her.

The Administration Department has a vacancy.

Vacancy?

I...

No one in the Administration Department

has worked overtime in the last six months.

Are you sure they need new hires?

Well...

Allocate the spot
to the Business Development Department.

Business Development Department?

So it was you?

Because you've made contributions
to Ansheng in Yu's incident.

So, you're employed.

Your complaint

won't affect your employment.

But do you have evidence?

What evidence?

If you want to file a complaint,

you must have evidence.

You can't accuse a department head

with just your words.

It's fine if you don't believe me.

I'll expose the true colors

of that scoundrel,

by any means.

How?

Tell me.

I'll send group emails

or write posts on forums.

Still, you need evidence.

Otherwise, Cao Ruocheng
can easily blackwash you

into a scheming woman

who can do anything to climb the social ladder,

and you'll have to bear legal responsibility

for damaging his reputation.

Are you ready to face this?

You said that I don't believe you.

But nothing will change even if I believe you.

Can I simply dismiss the head of a department?

Instead of betting on others' trust,

it's better to find evidence yourself.

Do you mean...

Your complaint will be recorded.

But your anger and grievance

won't influence the company
to take any action against him.

I suggest you not to do anything for now.

Protect yourself

and gather evidence

so that Cao Ruocheng can't defend himself.

(Mr. Wang.)

I don't mean to complain.

I know the departmental optimization plan

is good,

but it's difficult to put it into action.

The HR Department

has many things on our plate recently

and we face a lot of problems.

Solve them one by one, then.

That's right.

Mr. Wang.

Please give me some more time.

You came up with such a project out of a sudden,

not just my department,

staff from other departments

have objections against it too.

Cong Rong.

The plan affected your department the most.

Did anyone from your department
raise any objections?

Not at all.

Everyone is supportive of it.

And they're positive at work now.

Ms. Cong.

That's what they want you to see.

You never know what they say behind your back.

I know my department

very well.

How about this?

You can run an intra-departmental survey.

Survey?

Yes.

Give out anonymous questionnaires

to solicit their true thoughts.

I agree with this.

My department will fully cooperate with this.

I thought

you were already overwhelmed with work.

Just let them handle this themselves.

Okay, I'll get it done.

Let Su Mo do it.

She's new here,

so she has yet to be deeply involved
in the department.

It's fairer.

Let's not waste too much time on this.

Have everyone fill out the questionnaires
before leaving today.

Su Mo will sort them out tonight.

I want it tomorrow morning.

Okay, understood.

[Employee Feedback
and Satisfaction Survey Statistics]

[Reduced Satisfaction of Project Operator]

[Mr. Cao]

(Instead of betting on others' trust,)

it's better to find evidence yourself.

Yes, Mr. Cao.

Come in.

Mr. Cao, this is the file you asked for.

Thank you.

Sorry to trouble you.

You're welcome.

If there's nothing else,

I'll be off.

Hold on.

Su.

I think there's a misunderstanding between us.

Mr. Cao,

I think I overreacted that day.

Because I was taken aback

by the necklace you offered.

You got scared so easily.

It's just nothing.

Because I don't know

why you gave me that necklace.

Isn't it obvious?

You should know.

It's better to be real with our words.

I really like your character.

You're straightforward.

Not only that,

you're elegant,

clever,

and most importantly, you're unbending.

To be frank,

I appreciate all of that.

I'm afraid it's not appropriate
to say that in the office.

Why not?

There's no camera here.

Come on and sit.

I get you now.

You feel constrained because we're in the office.

I'm going on a business trip to Europe
next month.

You can come with me.

You need to take a break off
from this fast-paced life sometimes.

Clear your mental burden

so that you can face life better.

Am I right?

So, you want to be your mistress?

You're a married man.

So what?

I've told you

that I'll get a divorce sooner or later.

All it needs is to sign the paper.

Don't worry.

I won't

mistreat you.

You see, you're alone, struggling in Shanghai,

having no one to rely on.

There's no way you can go places someday.

As for me,

though I have no prominent abilities,

I have a say

in the personnel arrangement.

Are you suggesting

that if I become your mistress,

you can help me get promoted?

Smart.

Give me three years.

I guarantee

you'll become the director
of the Business Development Department.

No, thanks.

I better depend on myself.

Are three years too long?

Well, two years.

This is the fastest promotion I can get you.

Besides, your salary
will be at the highest standard.

What do you think?

Are you satisfied

with the condition?

Let go of me.

Please behave yourself.

I've promised you so much,

shouldn't you give me some treats?

What are you doing?

Pervert!

Let go of me!

You should entertain me a bit.

Pervert!

What are you doing?

Let go of her!

He harassed me!

Are you all right?

Stop recording.

Put your phone down.

Cao, I can't believe you.

How could you do that?

Hao Chengyi, listen to me.

She seduced me.

You didn't hear what she said

before this.

Nonsense.

I've recorded our conversation

in this pen recorder.

You...

You tricked me. Give me the recorder.

What are you doing?

Give me the phone.

Put it down.

-Give me your phone.
-Put it down.

Put it down.

-Hao... Hao Chengyi.
-Put it down.

Are you insane?

Stop him.

Stop him.

What are you doing?

You should seize her. She seduced me.

Enough.

Stop defending yourself.

We'll let Ms. Zhang

decide on this.

Ms. Zhang is on her way here.

You must be scared just now.

I'll have Tianyu drive you home.

No.

I must stay here and confront him face-to-face.

The voice recording and video should be enough.

Don't dwell on this once you go home.

Don't worry.

I'll give you a fair shake.

(Let go of me! What are you doing? Pervert!)

(Let go!)

(What are you doing?)

(He harassed me!)

(Are you all right?)

(What are you doing, Hao Chengyi?)

(Stop recording! Put your phone down.)

Ms. Zhang, please hear me out.

They framed me.

(Hao Chengyi, you didn't know...)

Framed you?

Yes.

Hao Chengyi and Su Mo ganged up

to set a trap for me.

Ms. Zhang.

I happened to pass by.

Happened to pass by?

Why are you still in the office late at this hour?

Besides, our rooms aren't on the same floor.

You said you happened to pass by.

I called him over to verify some documents.

Do you want to accuse me

of ganging up with them too?

Wang Ju'an.

Mr. Wang.

You've been wanting to get rid of me, right?

Ms. Zhang.

This is a trap.

Scratch that!

You pinned the woman down on the desk.

I was out of myself.

I've been working with you for years.

I've done so much for the company.

Didn't you get paid

for what you've done?

This matter will affect us extremely badly.

I...

I never expected you

to do something shameful like this.

You've deeply disappointed me.

Get out.

Hand in your resignation tomorrow.

This is the best I can do for you.

Yes.

Thank you for grooming me all these years.

You should go back too.

It's late.

Ms. Zhang.

I'll get going, then.

We shouldn't conclude the case
with just a resignation.

We must hand in evidence to the police.

Can you not cause more trouble for Ansheng?

That's why we can't take the risk.

We can keep the situation in check
only if we report this to the police.

Or else there'll be huge repercussions
if we hide it.

The incident with Yu Zhiyuan
has already taken a toll on us.

Fine.

Do what you say.

But Hao Chengyi should leave too.

Why?

You asked me why?

Did he really happen to pass by?

Everyone in Ansheng must be reunited now.

Whoever commits to internal strife

must be removed.

Su Mo.

Here's your coffee.

I bought this for you.

Thank you.

Su.

We're so sorry about that.

Let's have a hotpot tonight

to ward off bad luck.

Sure.

It's on us.

All right.

Su Mo.

Did you go to Cao Ruocheng's room that night

on purpose?

Of course not.

But why did Hao Chengyi show up there

and record everything?

I found that weird too.

It feels like he has been waiting in the wings

to collect evidence against Cao Ruocheng.

They're close.

What is his reason for doing that?

What's wrong?

You've done it excellently.

But why the long face?

I'm just thinking

if I may have done much more
than just self-defense.

Done more than just self-defense?

You're actually thinking

if you overly retaliated

when a mad dog attacked you?

The mad dog

might tear you into pieces

while you're hesitating.

Thank you for handling this impartially

and driving the bad guy out.

No need to thank me.

You should thank yourself.

Me?

Only you can help

and save yourself.

I know.

But did I save myself this time,

or did you save me this time?

We've had a good collaboration.

(That's official.)

(Why couldn't he say something)

(with warmth?)

(That's official.)

(What's wrong with me?)

(It feels like we're having a business deal.)

Mr. Wang, I'll take my leave first.
