[Episode 15]

[Miguo Hotel]

Just go out the front door and turn left for 500 meters

and then pass a store

- and I'll get to the place? - Yes, sir.

Is there any good place to eat?

- I will send it to your phone shortly. - Okay.

- Contact me if you need help. - Thanks.

[Miguo Is Waiting For You Here]

Ms. Rao, I thought you were about to leave just as I arrived.

Because Tu has some things to finish,

we can't leave now.

Your apprentice is quite persistent.

Tang is going to sign the contract tomorrow, yet she refuses to give up.

When you used to get close to us,

you always called Tu,

now you called Tang.

You have betrayed us?

What?

But doing business is this cruel, it's survival of the fittest.

Tu has to learn this lesson sooner or later.

After all, not everyone is like me…

- Shameless. - here.

Yes. Where are you going to?

It's none of your business.

Can't I go out for a stroll and find some fun?

If you have money, then pay me back some.

Well, take me with you to offset the interest.

Anyway, I'm not busy right now.

You are not busy?

If you're not busy, go pick up seashells by the seashore.

The place I'm going to isn't suitable for you.

What place is it then?

- Hello. - Hello.

Could you please leave this bag at the front desk? I will come back for it.

- All right. - Thank you.

Turn left for 500 meters, right?

Right.

It scared me. She's just flipping her hair.

What fun is there to be had around here?

Whose dog did poop all over the place?

Does she know I'm following her,

so she's deliberately leading me around in circles here?

This place is twisting and turning,

feeling like I'm just going around in circles.

There's no one,

nor even a cellphone signal.

Rao Jing.

I'm Zhao Fanggang.

Hello, anyone there?

I-I'm lost.

I just want to ask how to get out of here.

I-I want to ask for directions.

Sorry, I'm lost.

I want to ask how to get out of here.

[The memorial tablet for father Rao Yong, the memorial tablet for mother Li Bihua]

I'm really sorry, I was just trying to ask for directions.

I got lost and accidentally wandered in here.

I am really sorry. No offense.

I'm leaving right now.

Is it fun to scare me?

What are you doing here?

Aren't you afraid of getting lost?

You really do have a lot of nerve.

Mr. Zhao, are you out of your mind?

It's you who followed me here.

I-I…

I came here because I saw this brochure.

A brochure?

Is my home up there?

Your home? Are you fooling me around?

His name is Rao Yong,

and you are Rao Jing.

Yes, Rao Yong is my dad.

That one is my mom.

Well, since you're here, let me introduce you.

Mom, Dad, this man here is Zhao Fanggang,

my colleague and my creditor.

He reminds me every morning, afternoon and evening

[Rao Yong and Li Bihua's memorial tablets] to pay my debts.

So I want you to remember what he looks like

and bless him.

Uncle, Auntie,

don't bother doing so.

Nor do you need to worry.

Ms. Rao and I are good colleagues and good friends.

If we're that good, then perform three head kowtows.

Get up.

Don't rush, take it slow.

You got the hang of it.

I've been fishing for so long,

only with your help have I caught such a small fish.

Mr. Yang is a master at fishing.

Can I attract his attention?

So, you might as well specialize in one area.

You mean to learn a unique skill?

I just noticed there are a lot of yellow croakers nearby.

I can teach you the empty-hook fishing technique.

Maybe it could attract Mr. Yang.

Empty-hook fishing technique? No bait then?

No need, but this is indeed very difficult.

It requires precise control of the casting angle and force,

as well as very high demands on the rod's stiffness and length.

Since you mentioned it, there must be some quick way to master it.

Actually, the most important thing is the upward-facing hook.

If you get the hook right, you're halfway to success.

I know there's a place that specializes in fishing gear nearby.

No, if you want to hit the target every time,

you must do it ourselves.

I saw that there are a lot of materials over there.

I can give it a try.

You can even make this?

You're so versatile.

There's still a lot I don't know.

Actually, the fishing circle is quite small.

Since Mr. Yang is so obsessed with fishing,

if someone tells him

that a challenger has come to this island,

he will definitely be very surprised.

Be more confident.

Only if you are brave and confident can you succeed.

Young lady, you fish with an empty hook at such a young age, quite impressive.

There are no more than three people here who can fish with an empty hook.

All of them have many years of experience.

Your master must be a fishing expert, right?

My master is indeed quite skilled.

When there's a chance, I'll introduce my master to you two.

Young lady, will you come tomorrow?

Our fishing circle

has been working on this empty-hook fishing technique recently.

I want to call everyone to come and observe.

That depends on the weather.

I checked the weather forecast today, and it seems like it might rain tomorrow.

The weather on the small island

is changeable in the blink of an eye.

Promise me you would come.

Okay, then I'll come tomorrow.

- See you tomorrow then. - Alright.

- See you tomorrow. - Goodbye.

[Miguo Hotel]

Is she sick?

Her parents have both passed away.

She's all alone in this world.

It's quite pitiful.

Uncle, Auntie,

I broke in by accident during the day.

Please forgive me.

I'll kowtow three more times to you here.

Goodnight.

- Hello. - Hello.

Come to the window.

I'm about to leave, just wanting to let you know.

Xiaoning, good morning.

Good morning.

Tu, what are you looking at so early in the morning that makes you so happy?

I'm here to look at the sea.

How about you? What are you going to do?

We're going to sign a contract.

Xiaoning, are you dressed like this to go fishing?

Right, the contract can't be signed anyway.

Then I consider it as a tour.

Have fun.

Be careful.

Okay, thank you.

Let's go.

I'm leaving.

Be careful.

Bye.

Young lady, you are here.

- Hello. - Hello.

Mr. Yang, the young lady

skilled in empty-hook fishing technique is here.

Hello Mr. Yang, I am Tu Xiaoning from Dairui.

Pleased to meet you.

So you are Tu Xiaoning?

You know each other? That's great.

It's rare to meet someone who shares hobbies.

Well, you two could exchange ideas.

I'll get busy.

Okay.

There are few young people who know the empty-hook fishing technique.

This requires many years of experience.

Experience is one thing. It's all about the right solution.

The empty-hook fishing technique is mainly aimed at yellow croakers.

They have a severe case of compulsion.

They must take out anything that's in their nest.

Using live bait can actually agitate them.

It's better to use an empty hook, to apply the right solution.

The upward-facing hook I designed

is extremely sensitive and never misses.

Good, it's very important to apply the right solution.

Just as you know how to cater to preferences and win over customers.

Mr. Yang, as you know.

Every Account Manager

will do their utmost to win over their clients.

I just want a chance to see you.

Only after meeting will you know

whether the proposal I have designed for your company caters to your needs.

Okay, then I'll hear your proposal.

Let's see if you are well-prepared.

Okay.

[Heaven Rewards the Diligent]

How about it? Has he come?

I couldn't get in touch with him. When I arranged to meet him last night,

he said he might not have time today.

Why didn't you say so earlier?

Tang, don't worry.

Please contact him again.

Okay.

Hurry up.

Don't rush.

[Yang Jie]

[Loan scheme] Your interest rate is higher than any other bank's.

What makes you think I'd like your proposal?

Although the interest rate is higher,

the financing proposal has a long loan period and a large amount,

with less pressure on short-term repayment.

It may be more in line with your long-term plan for your business.

Really?

I have been to your factory

and understand your development strategy.

In the next three to five years, you will surely expand your business

and seize the golden period of market development.

In this case, you need a working capital as a guarantee.

My proposal fits that perfectly.

The period is three years, after which it can be refinanced automatically.

That is, to roll over the loan without repaying the principal.

You don't have to bear the pressure of finding the money to refinance,

nor will you need to worry about the continuity of funds.

On the surface, the annual interest rates of other banks

do seem a bit more cost-effective.

But in reality,

how much pressure you'd face with each year's repayment,

and how high the implicit interest rate is,

as the boss, you must have a clear idea in your mind.

They told me yesterday

that a young fishing expert has come.

I knew it might be you.

Sorry, Mr. Yang.

I really need an opportunity

to meet with you.

Honestly, girls and boys your age

are raised in a honey pot.

I've seen many who are impatient and can't endure hardship.

It's rare to see someone as persistent as you.

To be honest,

I don't know about your fishing skills,

but you've made a fine hook.

Jing.

[Miguo HOTEL] Tu, how's it going?

Mr. Yang is interested in your proposal?

Probably. Anyway, I've done all I can.

The rest is up to fate.

Well done.

So Mr. Yang was with you today?

Zhao.

Tu, impressive. You even know how to use the strategy now.

Tang Yuhui and I had been sitting

in Mr. Yang's office today,

and my butt ended up sore from all the sitting.

And in the end, a phone call came. He's not signing the contract with us.

Where is Tang Yuhui?

Gone missing.

What do you mean gone missing?

She's gone missing, and you're not looking for her?

Weren't you always calling her Tang?

Why would I look for her?

I came here from a thousand miles away.

Without making any money, I've been waiting here the whole time.

Tu, you can't forget my kindness.

If Mr. Yang becomes your first loan customer,

you'll have to treat me to a meal.

Mr. Zhao, as Tu's senior,

[Ji Yuheng] if she successfully makes the contract,

I think you should treat her to a meal.

Sure, after she treats me, I'll treat her.

Jing, Zhao,

I've been tired all day, battered by the wind and the sun.

I want to go back and take a quick shower and sleep.

You two go ahead and eat. I'm leaving first.

Okay.

Have a good sleep.

- Okay. - Bye.

Let's go. Let's go eat.

So thrilling.

Zhao and Jing went to have a meal.

No one will see us.

Then why didn't you go with them?

Because someone is waiting for me here.

Tu, finally remembered me after finishing work?

Even I was busy with work, I've kept you in my mind, Mr. Ji.

♫ When I close my eyes ♫

♫ The beam of light behind you ♫

I've told you, don't call me Mr. Ji after work.

♫ I'm privately cherishing this moment ♫

♫ My feel is for you, just like the rain ♫

♫ Falling wetly and passionately ♫

♫ Oh, baby, my heart belongs ♫

♫ To you and no one else ♫

♫ The fireworks over my heart never cease ♫

♫ Maybe it is you ♫

♫ No one knows ♫

♫ Baby, it is you ♫

♫ I hope you know ♫

Are you hungry?

I haven't eaten all day.

Okay, I'll take you out for something delicious.

Let's go.

Boss, I'll order…

I'll order a seafood platter.

One seafood platter.

Spicy stir-fried conch, garoupa fish,

garlic vermicelli scallops.

- Vermicelli scallops. - Sorry.

Boss, I usually speak quite loudly.

That's all.

Let me calculate how much it is for you.

No need. It's a total of 396 yuan.

Here, keep the change.

Okay, thank you.

Do you want to see if there's anything else you'd like to eat?

You locals know

the delicacies of Xihai Town.

I heard you ordered a lot just now.

Yesterday I ordered two dishes,

and you wanted to cancel one of them.

What's wrong with you today? Suddenly being so generous?

Yesterday we split the bill, and today you're paying the bill.

I'm paying the bill? When did I say that I would pay?

You're the local, so you should pay the bill.

Just because I'm the local?

As a local, treating a friend is a matter of courtesy.

But I can choose not to.

And we are not friends. I'm not treating you.

You spend money

to buy bags worth tens of thousands and drink wine worth thousands

without even blinking an eye.

Can't you be generous

to treat your colleague who always takes care of you?

What's it to you how I spend my money?

Besides, when do you take care of me?

I'm taking care of you now.

If I hadn't seen you all alone,

I wouldn't be here eating with you.

I'm all alone?

Let me tell you. I earn my own money and spend it by myself.

I can feed myself.

I have many clients and pretty boys to meet.

I'm living carefree.

Yes, you are.

Then who got drunk and passed out in the bar late at night,

crying and shouting not to go home?

Because you have no family, right?

You know I'm always talking mean.

Don't take my nonsense seriously.

Rao Jing.

Boss, pack it up for me. I'll come back for it.

This place is usually filled with locals.

I'm sure we won't run into Jing and the others.

Okay, don't be mad. It was my fault.

I apologize to you, I'm sorry.

Well, I'll treat you to a meal.

Order whatever you want.

But let me tell you.

You only get this one chance to spend my money.

Now or never.

Then I want to eat the expensive yellow croaker.

That ruthless? Fine.

What's wrong? Don't you like it here?

What's the matter?

It looks like it's Rao Jing.

Hold on.

Why are Zhao and the others here? Run!

I think I just saw Tu with a man.

And that man seems to be Mr. Ji.

Got dizzy before even drinking?

[Danger. Don't get into water.]

I wanted to treat you to a grand and authentic meal,

didn't expect that we'd have to do it ourselves.

Catch it fresh,

and start a fire later.

This makes the real authentic meal.

Are you the partner they talk about online

who's with stable emotions?

You could provide emotional value anytime, anywhere.

Why do I remember when you were in school,

you were always comforting others?

Were we close back in school?

Seemed like we hardly spoke.

Back in school, you had a loud voice.

I could hear you every time I walked by.

And you didn't seem to have anything on your mind.

Right. Back then I was cheerful every day.

The only thing that bothers me

is to think about how to ask my mom for pocket money.

I was full of passion and positive energy,

shining and warming others.

You were always shining and warming others.

Then why did you always feel like no one liked you before?

That's true. Since you mention it,

maybe someone really did like me, but I just didn't know it.

Back then, I was nice and cute,

kind of being sparkling.

It's just that I'm not like someone like you

who just stands out in a crowd.

I might need someone to find out

and dig deep to find out my strengths.

Looks like I'm very lucky then

to have dug up a treasure.

What do you like about me?

Does there have to be a reason?

Of course. Just like a seashell,

you find it and think it's beautiful,

so you're willing to work hard to dig it up and then take it home.

Smart, hard-working, motivated.

These are all your strengths.

But that's not why I like you.

I wouldn't like anyone else with these strengths.

I like you simply because you are you.

But…

No buts, actually, you mean

a lot more to me than you think.

Don't make it that deep,

which makes my liking for you seem superficial.

Tell me, how superficial is it?

I just think you're handsome.

Didn't hear you. Louder, please.

I just think you're handsome, perfectly my cup of tea.

I heard about this before.

Who told you? When did you find out?

It's a secret.

Who said it? Who told you?

Can you tell me?

Who told you?

It'll be ready very soon.

I want to eat something spicy.

Okay.

Your phone is ringing.

It's mom's call.

Hello, Mom.

Mom, how have you been?

Xiaoning, all's well.

Your parents cook delicious food for me every day.

And they just made me drink another two bowls of pigeon soup.

Talk to your mom.

Xiaoning.

Mom, what's wrong?

Other kids go on business trips,

and their parents would make many calls a day.

Look at you, not even a single call to me.

If I'll make you many calls,

don't you still have to do the work yourself?

As long as you're safe.

Besides, Ji is with you.

Cherish your world for two.

Right, go back early and rest up.

Rest assured, all's well. Bye.

Bye.

Okay, don't worry.

Eat more.

This place is really beautiful.

Do you always come back?

It's the first time coming back since my parents passed away.

Then you don't have any family here anymore?

Xihai Town is too quiet.

When it gets to eight or nine o'clock in the evening,

there's hardly anyone on the streets.

Although my name is Rao Jing,

I prefer hustle and bustle.

Staying in Xihai Town makes me nervous.

I feel more at ease in the big city.

You don't prefer hustle and bustle,

but you are afraid of being alone.

Perhaps. I sometimes quite envy you.

Your life is real and lively.

At work, you are scheming.

But it doesn't hinder your naivety in life at all.

You are so simple.

You'd take advantage whenever you want.

And you don't feel embarrassed at all.

- Are you complimenting me or putting me down? - Putting you down.

Okay. I'm just an ordinary person,

living a plain and ordinary life.

I flatter others for some money,

scheme for a bit of vested interest

worry about daily necessities,

and for parents, for wife and daughters…

I don't have a wife yet.

Anyway, I carry the burden for the family.

Carrying the burden for the family.

Since my parents passed away,

I've told myself to be free from burdens.

Don't trouble myself to establish any social relationships.

If I could let go of everything,

there would be no burden.

But sometimes I wonder

if everything and everyone in my life

lost their weight,

what would be the meaning of my life then?

It seems there's a term for this, some sort of theory.

Backpack theory. The emptier the backpack, the more carefree the person.

You're living in a complicated way,

afraid of loneliness, yet feeling life is meaningless.

What do you know? Women are inherently complicated.

Okay, let's be complicated today as well.

Don't be upset. Be cheerful.

Do you know?

Whenever I'm upset or happy,

I like to dance.

I'm going to play one of my favorite songs.

♫ Lemon goes with coffee. We have a rapport, flustered ♫

♫ We continue the warm moments of the past ♫

♫ Thoughts surge like waves and fluctuate ♫

♫ In the pouring rain ♫

♫ I start to refresh my memory ♫

♫ Your eyes are as clear as the sky ♫

♫ As time goes by, I fall for you ♫

♫ As I feel the warmth in your palms, I fall for you ♫

♫ Parallel kite strings take a turn ♫

♫ Shining brightly ♫

♫ As I'm touched, I fall for you ♫

♫ As I feel the warmth in your palms, I fall for you ♫

♫ Capturing all happiness for you ♫

♫ And making it into an everlasting song ♫

♫ It's been a long time ♫

♫ The whole world is happy for us ♫

♫ In the pouring rain ♫

♫ I start to refresh my memory ♫

♫ Your eyes are as clear as the sky ♫

♫ As time goes by, I fall for you ♫

♫ As I feel the warmth in your palms, I fall for you ♫

I'll head back.

Or, Jing will surely be suspicious.

Understood me?

Of course.

Don't get mad.

No.

It's too late today.

Go back, take a hot bath and go to sleep.

Then I'm leaving.

Go ahead.

Ji Yuheng.

What's the matter?

Mr. Yang just messaged me,

saying we can meet tomorrow,

and then apply for a loan.

Really?

Really.

I didn't expect him to agree.

Congratulations, Xiaoning.

That's great, but I think it makes perfect sense.

You're so excellent, he will definitely choose you.

Really?

Of course.

There's surveillance.

Where is the surveillance?

Kind of regret letting you go back.

I don't want to leave either.

Go back.

I'm leaving.

[Letter of Intent for Cooperation]

Ms. Rao, your apprentice is extraordinary.

Mr. Yang, rest assured.

Tu will surely not disappoint you.

[Letter of Intent for Cooperation]

Jing, where's Zhao? Let me treat you both to a meal.

He probably drank too much last night and still didn't wake up.

Besides, why bring him along?

Haven't you been eating with him these past days?

You saw it wrong.

Mr. Zhao, here's your hangover medicine.

Thank you.

Right, I've already sent the confirmation letter for the new deposit

to your email. Yes.

Mr. Ji?

Is it because I drank too much, my vision blurred?

Zhao, are you alright? Still not sober?

I thought I saw Mr. Ji going into that room just now.

You saw it wrong. Go back and take a shower to sober up.

Look at you, you can't even stand steady.

That won't work. You're having hallucinations.

Drink less in the future.

Who says I can't stand steady?

I indeed can't stand very steady.

I need to go lie down.

Didn't you say you were leaving today?

You've bought the ticket for the afternoon. Not leaving anymore?

What?

I can't even walk properly.

I'll leave with you guys tomorrow afternoon.

Rao Jing, it was you who got me drunk.

You have to take responsibility for me.

What responsibility do I have?

What responsibility do I have?

You're such a grown person, don't you have any shame?

What are you talking about here?

As a salesman,

just this bit of beer got you like this? Go inside.

You…

Good. Very good.

Trash.

I…

Have you slept?

Not yet.

You almost got caught by Zhao today again.

I didn't dare to look for you.

What are you doing?

Without you here, I can only indulge myself into work.

Jing.

Jing. Jing.

Don't cry. You only dropped two places.

You're still in the top ten.

Look, I'm always at the bottom. What are you crying for?

Stop crying. Your mom doesn't like you crying.

If you go back with red eyes, your mom will be angry.

Well, just tell your mom

that you only fell two places and are still in the top ten.

Look, Tu Xiaoning is always at the bottom.

You're lucky to have a girl like me.

If you have a girl like Tu Xiaoning, you'd be so frustrated.

Does it make sense?

Drink some water and stop crying.

Smart, hard-working, motivated.

These are all your strengths.

But that's not why I like you.

I like you simply because you are you.
