[Destined]
[Episode 20]
That's enough.
How fresh it is.
It's already rotten.
Just give it to me for free.
This won't do, Young Master.
Young Master.
Young Master.
What are you doing here?
I'm here shopping for groceries.
Young Madam told me that
although the vegetables sold in the morning are fresh,
they are a bit too expensive.
The vegetables are the cheapest
when the stalls are about to be closed in the evening.
It's good you are here.
Help me think about
what I should buy.
You...
It's my salary.
This is my first time making money on my own.
I want to buy something for my wife.
What should I buy?
What should you buy...
[Tie the Red Sash and Carry the Gold Stamp]
Honey.
Are you casting accounts?
Are you tired?
Why do you look
so happy today?
I...
I got my salary.
Guess what I bought.
What did you buy?
What do you mean?
Didn't you say that
the rouge isn't trendy in Youzhou?
You want to make it popular
and make everyone think that
if a man
doesn't buy Huarong's rouge for his wife,
he's not a good husband?
This is different
from the gifts I gave you before.
I bought this with my own salary.
I went through a lot of trouble
to buy it
without you realizing it was me.
Although
I can't afford the most expensive one,
wait till
I get enough money saved.
I'll buy you another set.
Are you
not happy?
To tell you the truth,
business hasn't been good in the shop recently.
It's been over ten days,
but I only sold
some small, scattered items.
One of them
was bought by you.
I know the beginning is hard.
But I didn't expect it to be so bad.
Everything is hard at the beginning.
Give it some time.
Boss Liu, you're so capable.
You will turn the tables.
But I've tried it.
There's still no update
from Mrs. Zhou.
Mrs. Zhou?
I've asked around.
Mrs. Zhou is the one who likes liveliness the most
among Youzhou's noble ladies.
She often has gatherings at home,
where she invites the wives of the noble
and prestigious families in Youzhou.
The location of our shop is not good.
Not many people know about it.
I thought
I could use the opportunity of gifting Mrs. Zhou
to let her
help us spread the word.
But it's been more than ten days.
Nothing happened.
Do you think
I did it wrong?
I've invested
all our money in it.
If there's still no improvement...
Don't worry.
Everything's hard at the beginning.
Let's think of some other way.
Madam Yue
was so attentive
when the shop first opened.
She kept asking me
how much dividend she could get.
Now that she saw that the business wasn't good,
she doesn't even get up.
Boss Liu.
Boss Liu.
What brings you here?
Boss Liu.
I'm here
to do you a big favor.
What favor?
Look.
Your box
looks good.
I can take it
and sell snacks in it.
How about
I offer you a price
and you can sell all your boxes to me?
How does that sound?
Who said I want to sell it?
Look.
You haven't sold one piece.
You won't be able
to pay the rent soon, right?
If you don't sell them to me at a discount,
do you want to live on air?
We won't sell.
Please go back.
Thank you.
-Get out. -Boss Liu.
Get out!
Boss Liu, let's talk about it.
I won't sell.
Boss Liu...
Get out.
My Lady, we have customers.
Mrs. Zhou, you're here in person,
and you brought so many friends with you.
I'm so honored that
I really don't know what to do.
It's because your rouge is of high quality.
[Zhou Gaolang's wife, Mrs. Zhou]
My old friends
couldn't take their eyes off it.
They kept asking me
where I bought it.
Well,
I can't beat them.
So I brought them here to bother you.
It's a blessing to us.
You honor us with your presence.
Ladies, please come in.
Look over here.
It's so well decorated.
I've never seen
a rouge shop
decorated so exquisitely.
Ladies.
This set, "Four Seasons",
is the most valuable cosmetics in our store.
Our rouge
makes use of the best prescription from Yangzhou
in the past.
There are dozens of herbs
mixed and coordinated in it.
It takes more than ten procedures repeatedly.
Those sold elsewhere
would never
take so much effort.
No wonder it works wonders.
Since this is the best set,
why would we want anything else?
Give me a set.
Here.
Do your cosmetics come in
three box sizes, big, medium, and small?
If you want a single product,
like a lipstick or a cream,
you can buy it by item too.
No need.
Give me ten boxes of each.
I'll use them as gifts in the future.
We'll also go
check out the other products.
Look at this.
Boss Liu.
Other people may not know
about the Gu family's kind deeds,
but I do.
Especially your extra favor
to General Zhou.
We keep your favor
in our hearts.
Mrs. Zhou.
Don't be like this.
I just want to do business.
If you take extra care of my business
due to the favor or the deeds,
it won't be my original intention.
Originally,
it's because your products are good.
So I wanted to buy some as gifts.
Now that I think about it,
I have to buy more.
Look.
With your generosity and bearing,
and willingness to work hard in business,
once the word is out
about Huarong,
I won't be able to get any.
This one.
I'll have three sets.
I'll have five sets too.
And this. I want ten sets.
Walk faster.
Walk faster.
My Lord.
Why did you buy so much food?
What day is it?
My rouge was sold.
Really?
How many sets?
Take a guess.
Three?
Five?
Not more than ten sets, is it?
46 sets, big and small.
And a lot more have been booked.
46 sets?
Did the Feng Shui of your shop change?
Mrs. Zhou came here today.
She also brought many friends
to support me.
Thank goodness.
She finally came.
Otherwise, I'm really a sinner.
What do you mean?
I'll tell you the truth.
Don't be angry.
Brother, I have a favor to ask.
My mother
received the rouge from your wife.
She liked it very much
and wouldn't stop praising it.
She wanted me
to come and buy more
as gifts to her friends.
Brother.
It's a bit tricky.
Why?
The rouge sold in the shop
is all handmade by my wife.
It comes in small amount and it's very precious.
Business has also been good recently.
It'll be gone if it's sold out.
Besides,
rouge comes in various types.
You'll have to try it on your face
to know if you like it,
if looks good,
and if it suits you.
So if Mrs. Zhou and her friends
like it,
why not go to the shop
and give it a try themselves?
No problem.
I thought
instead of sending rouge to their mansion,
it'd be better if we invited them to come here themselves.
This way, all the ladies in Youzhou
will know
that the rouge of Huarong
is the first-class product
that is even used by government officials' wives.
But I didn't expect...
You didn't expect that
after Zhou brought the message back,
there was no update.
After you told me about it yesterday,
I was so worried.
I didn't want to hold your business back.
I was going to see him.
You promised me you wouldn't be angry.
Mrs. Zhou is thoughtful.
I was wondering
why she brought
so many friends with her.
Turns out she saw us through.
It took her some time to invite all her friends
to come and support me.
I'm afraid
all the noble ladies
in Youzhou were here today.
That's a good thing.
It's her favor to us.
I know
you don't want to owe her.
But she was just here to show her support.
The future business performance still depends on
the quality of your products.
You're right, My Lord.
You were also right
about another thing.
Another thing?
Try this fragrance.
What kind of rouge do you want to buy, Sister?
I can't make up my mind.
There are three different types of cosmetics boxes, namely
"Four Seasons",
"Eight Flowers",
and "Twelve Divisions".
Each one of them is so beautiful.
How about you, Sister?
Her Ladyship
heard that the rouge of Huarong
is extraordinarily exquisite.
So she sent me here to pick some for her.
Right. Look at the "Four Seasons" set.
How beautiful it is.
It's really exquisite.
This set is
the famous "Four Seasons".
Take a look.
It's the best gift you can think of.
-It's so exquisite. -Of course,
you can also use it yourself.
When friends get together,
if you use "Four Seasons" to fix your makeup,
can you imagine
how dignified and noble it will be?
It's truly pretty.
So exquisite.
Yeah.
But if you want to use it yourself,
this set, "Eight Flowers", is very good, too.
Look.
The gift box is so delicate.
There are eight colors in it.
They are made of herbs correspondent to
each season.
It's very suitable for you
to use yourselves at home.
Check out this shop.
My Lady.
Why is our business
so good
after Mrs. Zhou came here
with the
noble ladies?
In the past, Lord Ling of the state of Chu used to love a slender waist,
so people in the palace all starved.
The makeup and dressing style
the Empress and noble consorts
like in the palace
will soon
become very popular
in Eastern Capital.
Then the whole country will start to imitate it.
Now,
since the Commissioner's wife passed away and he hasn't remarried,
Mrs. Zhou is currently the lady
of the highest status in Youzhou.
Surely, what Mrs. Zhou likes
will be sought after by women
all over Youzhou.
How dare you
come to see Mr. Zhao
with a business performance like this?
Also,
the turnover of the rouge shop this month
is so bad.
Did you
cook the books?
How could we?
We wouldn't dare
to deceive Mr. Zhao
even if we have eight lives to be taken.
Mr. Zhao.
There's a shop called Huarong
which just opened.
It took away our business.
[Mr. Zhao]
All the rouge business in Youzhou
is under Mr. Zhao's control.
How could
a small shop
ruin
your business?
Huarong Rouge Shop.
Is it opened by the Gu family
that came from Yangzhou?
Yes, Mr. Zhao.
Is the boss
a young woman?
She's a cub from the outside.
She doesn't know about the deal.
She doesn't have much money,
but she's bold enough
to compete with you, Mr. Zhao.
Mr. Zhao, how about this?
I'll take our men
to smash her shop.
No.
She can do business.
It's a good thing.
If there's business,
we should do it together.
"Eight Flowers" sells the best.
When they heard that
"Eight Flowers" would be taken off the shelves next month,
they all came to buy it
for fear that they couldn't get it.
There was a customer today
who bought six sets in one go.
That's how people are.
If you can buy something anytime,
you won't be desperate to buy it.
If you tell her
she won't be able to buy it soon,
she'll be eager to get it immediately.
You are really
good at business, My Lady.
When Jiusi told Mr. Zhou that
our business is so good that
demand exceeds supply,
and he refused to sell it,
it was just a bluff.
But after giving it more thought,
it's quite interesting.
So I decided to play along.
In the future,
we'll not only change the names,
colors and materials of the cosmetics,
we'll also change
the packing boxes.
We want the customers to buy every edition of the cosmetics
in order to collect all the boxes.
As you said, My Lady,
"Four Seasons" is targeted
at noble ladies.
So the price is set at
the level of ordinary people's one or two months' salary.
Only in this way can we
keep the dignity of noble ladies.
"Eight Flowers"
is the price of a meal
in a good restaurant.
So most women
will think about it
when they pay.
But even if they buy it,
it won't be too much for them to afford.
But why do we sell
"Twelve Divisions" at such a low price?
The work we put into it
and the materials we use
are not any worse.
Back then,
before I married into the Gu family,
I also liked to buy rouge for myself.
There were some colors that I already had.
But when I saw something similar,
I still wanted it.
I remember.
You had a tough time
back then, My Lady.
So you had to save money for a month
to buy a box of lipstick.
So,
when women buy rouge,
it's not because they have nothing to use,
but they want to make themselves happy.
When I set the price
for "Twelve Divisions", I was thinking,
if we can make a girl with no money
happy buying things
in our shop,
that would be the best.
The Qin family? I'm afraid it's not appropriate.
Although Ye's biological mother is of humble origin,
and he's a bit stubborn,
after all,
he's your son, General.
You don't know.
Time
has changed.
Now, Qin Yuan's sister
is the beloved concubine of the commissioner of Bingzhou.
In the past,
I would never
take a feckless person like him into consideration.
But now,
I have to use him
to be able to
talk to the commissioner of Bingzhou.
Is it for the matter of
forming a military alliance with Bingzhou?
Yes.
If Ye can
marry Miss Qin,
the Qin family's daughter,
perhaps
it can help Fan.
As for the alliance,
it can be negotiated as soon as possible.
If it goes like this,
it can also provide extra protection
for Youzhou.
It's just that Ye will be wronged.
It's also a disgrace to you, General.
My dignity is nothing.
Ye's grievances are nothing either.
As long as I can relieve Fan's troubles
and protect the safety of Youzhou's people,
I'll definitely do it.
I didn't expect
the word to have spread so fast.
You already know about it.
So
the engagement is real?
Congratulations then.
Brother.
By the way,
you are not a good friend.
Marriage is such a big deal.
Why didn't you tell me in advance?
And I don't think I've ever heard you
talk about Miss Qin before.
Father just informed me
of the marriage, too.
Miss Qin and I
have never met each other.
Never met each other?
So...
You don't know about her looks,
her temperament,
and personality at all?
No.
Marriage
should be up to
my parents' opinions.
And my father chose
this marriage for me
to be able to talk to
the commissioner of Bingzhou.
Youzhou and Bingzhou are neighbors.
They're staying put,
just like us.
Besides, Uncle Fan
has also put a lot of effort
into the alliance of our troops.
He sent letters there for several times.
The reply
has always been ambiguous.
I'm also very anxious.
But you can't use your marriage
as a bargaining chip.
It's unfair to you, isn't it?
I'm willing to.
These days,
I've seen my father
and Uncle Fan
worrying a lot
about reinforcing defense.
I saw it,
but there's nothing I could do.
If my marriage
can help improve the overall situation,
I'm more than willing to do it.
What if
you meet the girl you love in the future?
What should you do?
Society should come first in everything.
Moreover,
the kind of girl I like
is rare in the world.
In the future,
I don't think there could be any chance
for me to meet one.
Brother,
what kind of girl do you like?
Brother.
To be honest,
in my mind,
the girl I like
is a heroine,
like
a swordswoman,
someone who can conquer the battlefield
and fight bravely.
My Lady, take a look.
Isn't it irritating?
These days,
there has been a large batch of
rouge in boxes like this.
Even the packing boxes
and the bottles inside
are exactly like ours.
They are obviously imitating us.
The price
is only half of ours.
I knew
this would happen sooner or later.
How dare you sell a box of trash rouge
for one or two taels of silver?
I thought it was something great.
If you don't give me an explanation today,
I won't let you off.
Let's go out and have a look.
Come on.
Take a look, everyone.
Come and have a look.
Look at my daughter.
My daughter has to make her living
with her face.
Now that she's like this,
what should she do in the future?
What happened?
What do you mean what happened?
Are you the owner of Huarong?
Yes.
Here.
Check it out.
My daughter
used your cosmetics,
and her face is ruined like this.
I won't ask for much.
50 taels of silver.
If you give me the money,
I will let you go.
If you don't give it to me,
since you are hindering my business,
don't think about doing business
yourself either.
Don't think about it.
You can't do business either.
Don't think about doing business anymore.
Miss.
Which rouge of ours did you use?
Can I have a look?
Recently,
there have been lots of counterfeits in the market.
Maybe you used some inferior counterfeit.
What do you mean?
Are you refusing to admit it?
Yes.
You won't admit it?
There's no evidence.
We need to see the evidence.
You...
They have to provide physical evidence, right?
Who said we don't have evidence?
Here.
Take a look.
Look carefully.
Isn't it
the exact same rouge?
Look carefully.
Yes, it's exactly the same.
Take a close look.
Isn't it the same thing
sold in your shop, Huarong?
Yinhong.
Go get
a piece of our rouge.
Yes.
Even if you get ten boxes,
this was still bought here.
It's the same no matter how many pieces you take out.
Look at her face.
She's here.
Please take a look, everyone.
Can you see something?
Isn't this just a handkerchief?
Yes.
What can you tell
from a shabby cloth?
What trick
can you come up with?
Everyone.
There's a brocade handkerchief
weaved with golden twill
in every rouge box
sold by Huarong.
You kept saying
that the rouge was bought from us.
Let's see
if there's the unique golden twill pattern
on the brocade handkerchief.
Open it and check.
Why do you have to check?
What can you tell
from a shabby cloth?
What's there to see?
Take it out.
Have a look.
Take it out and have a look.
Mom,
there's no golden twill on our handkerchief.
Who asked you to take it out?
It's different.
A golden twill handkerchief...
Don't listen to
the nonsense of this bitch.
Don't listen to her nonsense.
Madam.
Since we've made it clear,
don't pester us anymore.
Or it may delay her treatment.
How can I take her to the doctor
if you don't give me money?
Don't trust her.
What nonsense is she talking about?
This evil bitch.
She makes a lot of money from us.
Now that something bad happened,
she wouldn't admit it.
What's the difference
between her and
a client freeloading at our place?
They're both shameless.
-That's right. -Shameless!
Shameless.
Look at my daughter's face.
Her mouth is so dirty.
We've never heard
any dirty words like this before.
My Lady, she just wants to extort money.
Let's just give it to her.
Just give her the money to avoid misfortune.
Is it me who's gone too far?
Look.
Got it.
Look.
Wait here.
Give me an explanation.
Boss.
Boss.
Something happened
at your wife's rouge shop.
Let me ask you.
What did she give you?
All defending her.
My daughter's face
has been ruined...
How dare you hit me?
That's right. I'm hitting you evil cow
who's slandering me.
Well done! Well done!
You hit me in the street.
Do you think
there's no law in Youzhou to punish you?
Shut up!
The law of Youzhou
should punish you first.
Do you dare to go to court with me?
If her face is ruined, go and testify it with me.
Go! Go!
You little bitch!
You old liar!
Old liar!
You lied to me.
How dare you lie to me!
You old liar.
Old liar.
Do you think Huarong is easy to smear?
You old liar!
Beat her up! Come on!
Let's go!
Who dares to?
[Yamen]
Alright. It's over.
She only
got rashes on her face
because she ate river shrimp.
In fact, she just wanted to extort money from you.
The old woman got the punishment of being slapped 20 times.
And she wrote a letter of apology.
Tomorrow,
it'll be posted in our shop
as an apology to you.
And to clear Huarong's name.
Did I scare you?
I know it was bad-looking.
But I had no choice.
50 taels of silver is no big deal.
But if they ruined our reputation,
it'll be hard to turn the table.
I know.
They were making a scene in the street.
If they really took advantage of us,
and someone learned from them,
I don't know how many people
will come and bully us.
I know.
We only have a few people in the shop.
There were many of them.
When they were making a scene in the street,
the onlookers
could only hear what they said.
Even if I reported it to the government later,
I would have already been slandered by them.
I could only turn against them on the spot,
be even more aggressive
and louder than them,
so that the onlookers could hear what I had to say.
I know.
Were you disgusted by me?
Why would I?
I cursed.
I said the dirtiest words.
I even hit them with a broom.
I saw everything.
It was very imposing
and very cute.
Stop comforting me.
I know
I lost my dignity
and I was like a shrew.
I humiliated the Gu family.
I was a joke.
I know.
How is that embarrassing?
Think about it.
When you chased me
with a sword back then,
you were much more shrewish than you are now.
I, Gu Jiusi,
like this kind of girl.
Really?
Yes.
Stop crying.
Let's go home.
♫It's like a dream♫
♫Feelings of lovesickness♫
You don't want to go?
♫Love once begun, will never end♫
Fine.
If you don't want to walk,
♫Spring breeze passing by♫
I'll carry you on my back.
♫Like the smile of youth on your face♫
If you don't hop on,
I'll keep kneeling like this.
♫Drops of lovesickness immersed in days and nights♫
♫Nowhere to be found♫
Come on.
♫You once said I'm heartless♫
♫I didn't know I couldn't stop missing you♫
Hold tight.
One, two, three, go.
♫Love once begun, will never end♫
♫Follow you everywhere you go♫
♫Days and nights, I can't help myself♫
Actually,
I don't care
whether you were dignified or not,
♫What is love and what is anticipation♫
and whether you were decent or not.
I only care if you were bullied.
♫Our hearts collide♫
When I'm here,
of course I'll protect you.
♫If only one person understands the hopes I wouldn't give up♫
But if I'm not there,
I'd rather you be more shrewish
so that you can protect yourself.
♫You are the one I hold on to♫
On my way here,
I was so worried that you were bullied.
♫If only one person can get me through the storm♫
I was so happy
to see you being like that.
♫You're the home I come back to♫
My wife is so great.
♫If only one person can protect me through the long nights♫
I
will let you be
the cute little girl as you are.
When you get old,
♫You're the peace of my life♫
you'll still be a lovely old lady.
♫Hoping the hands that I'm holding tight are yours♫
Gu Jiusi.
You're so great.
You're even better than I thought.
How great am I?
♫If I can make a wish, I hope we can be like this for the rest of our lives♫
So great that
I want to spend the rest of my life
with you.
Let's go home.
How dare you come back
to see Mr. Zhao? You couldn't even get such a simple thing done.
Yes.
Mr. Zhao.
It's all my fault.
I'm incompetent.
This is the deposit
you gave me that day.
You said
I could come back to collect the reward after it's done.
Now that I couldn't get it done,
I dare not
take the deposit either.
No need.
Even though you didn't get it done,
you still kept your mouth shut.
Take this money
to buy medicine.
Thank you, Mr. Zhao.
All right, get lost.
Yes.
Yes.
Mr. Zhao.
I didn't expect
such a small shop
to be so hard to deal with.
Last time,
we counterfeited a batch of rouge,
but it was all wasted.
This time, it's all in vain again.
I also heard that
they are on good terms with
General Zhou's son.
Mr. Zhao.
What is their background,
you think?
I've asked around.
A friend from the south told me that
the No.1 local merchant in Yangzhou
is the Gu family.
The young madam in charge of the mansion
is surnamed Liu.
It's them.
So what?
The world has changed.
The No.1 local merchant in Yangzhou
has ended up here.
They've lost
all their family fortune,
and they're living on
a small rouge shop.
Mr. Zhao.
They made you lose so much money.
How about
we do something
while they are still unstable...
What's the rush?
Listen.
Be more steady
in the future.
The last thing we want to do is to attract attention.
Now,
let's get the most important thing done
before taking care of anything else.
In the future,
there will be a whole lot of opportunities
to deal with them.
Yes, Mr. Zhao.
I've begged my father several times,
but he didn't allow me to enter the assembly hall
to discuss military matters with you.
Zhou,
please put in a good word for me.
OK?
You're still young.
Uncle Fan
wants you to accumulate experience for a few years.
You're not
much older than me.
You can get the things assigned by
Father and Uncle Zhou done.
So can I.
Not to mention me.
I make mistakes from time to time, too.
You're Uncle Zhou's son.
So what if you make a mistake?
In my opinion,
the only thing you did wrong
is not letting Gu
be Deputy Commandant.
Gu saved my life.
After he came to Youzhou,
he donated so much money.
Why did you only give him a position
as Yamen runner?
Yu.
Gu donated his family fortune.
Don't tell others
about this.
I know.
My father has told me
many times.
We need to keep a low profile.
We can't let others know that
Youzhou's strength is completely different now.
We don't want Youzhou to be targeted by others.
Still, even if you and I
don't bring it up,
the Gu family has done such a great deed,
but they didn't get
any decent reward.
I really feel sorry for Gu.
Jiusi and his wife
are generous and broad-minded.
If they have
any selfish intention,
they wouldn't have
donated all their money.
It's exactly because
Gu is generous and broad-minded,
he should get even more reward.
On this matter,
neither you nor my father
was thoughtful enough.
All right.
-Boss. -Boss.
Since we've been reinforcing the defense these days,
they carried hundreds of kilograms of stones.
They're worn out.
After they finish their work tomorrow,
I'll take all of you to Liu's Tavern
to have a drink.
Thank you, Boss.
Boss.
Should we ask Gu Jiusi
to join us for the drink?
He looks like
a useless, delicate young master.
But he seems to be quite capable doing his job.
When I asked him to carry armaments in the warehouse,
he got it done fast.
Without any complaint.
He's not bad.
He's also warm-hearted, friendly,
and pretty easy to get along with.
Well,
let him join us tomorrow.
One more person is not too much a difference.
Mr. Fan is here.
Everyone, gather in the hall.
Yes.
[Upright and Strict]
Gu Jiusi is still transporting armaments?
Yes.
How many armaments
have you transported this time?
Six carts.
Six carts of armaments
were all transported by Gu Jiusi alone?
Mr. Fan.
These days,
we've all been busy reinforcing defense at the wall.
We didn't have time for other things.
You were obviously looking for an excuse
to slack off.
The hard labor of transporting armaments
has been done by someone else.
What are you saving your energy
for?
You may as well exercise.
Now the war is urgent.
This way, you won't slack off.
Young Master.
Maybe we shouldn't
go too far.
They bullied Gu.
Of course I have to
back him up.
Besides,
Father said,
a man who's merciful can't be a general.
I must establish my majesty.
This way,
they'll respect me in the future.
Yes.
Raise your arms higher.
You'll be whipped if you slack off.
Young Master.
Young Master.
Young Master.
Look.
Is it enough?
Put it down.
To be honest with you,
Gu Jiusi is my friend.
What happened today
is a lesson for you.
You know
what you should do in the future.
If I hear
any of you make things difficult for Gu Jiusi again,
I won't let you off easily.
Understand?
Yes.
Boss.
What bad luck did we have?
It's exhausting enough to reinforce the defense for days.
We had to go through this drill.
There's no other explanation.
It must be Gu Jiusi
who talked behind our back.
This Gu Jiusi.
He pretended to be timid in front of us.
I thought
I wronged him before.
But he has a strong background.
We can't do anything to him.
Deal with it.
He bullied my men, and you're asking me to deal with it?
Boss, forget it.
Don't make any more trouble.
In the end, we'll be the ones who suffer.
No.
I can't let you
call me Boss for nothing.
Don't worry.
If anything happens,
I'll take all the responsibility.
Remember.
You know nothing
about this.
You have nothing to do with it.
Who is it?
