[Episode 27]

There's something I haven't told you.

I'm pregnant.

I tested with a pregnancy test stick,

and I went to the hospital for a blood test.

The reason I didn't tell you

is because I thought if we have this child,

our relationship will inevitably move forward.

But deep down, I don't want to use this child

to tie down our feelings.

And I don't want to use the child to tie you down either.

You know?

I didn't know how to tell you,

but what you did today made me feel

especially secure, so…

I think you would be a partner worthy of my trust.

So if possible,

shall we take a step forward and try?

These are all my bank cards.

There are some funds in current deposit.

Take them out and keep them.

The large-denomination deposits and financial management receipts are all at my home.

I'll change them all into your name later.

And that apartment of mine…

Next week, take a leave of absence,

and let's go through the procedure to add your name.

We'll notarize it and divide the property rights equally.

If, I mean if,

someday I did anything to let you down,

the property rights will be all yours, and I'll leave with nothing.

♫ I even feel happy when waiting for you ♫

♫ I've never forgotten ♫

♫ About you ♫

These sound like all your possessions.

You've given them to me. Are you sure?

No regrets?

I am, and no regrets.

♫ We used to share many memories ♫

♫ But I've already locked them away ♫

♫ Placed in a corner ♫

♫ They're waiting to be found again ♫

Rao Jing.

I definitely

will work hard to be a good father.

And I will try even harder to be a good husband.

I love you not because of the child,

but because of you.

Let's get married.

♫ Those cherished quiet moments ♫

Let's get married.

Let's get married.

♫ The silent, everlasting promise ♫

But there are no ifs.

You can't do anything to betray me.

If you do betray me,

all your possessions will be mine.

Can't sleep, huh?

I'm thinking, since Jing and Zhao are public now,

will the two of them…

Zhao Fanggang has already decided to resign.

There's been a rumor going around the office recently

that both Mr. Xing and Yao Jia are going to be punished.

If our relationship is discovered,

will we both be punished as well?

Actually, whenever it comes to punishment,

it's certainly due to serious violations of the rules.

Issues of conduct are actually just the fuse.

Over the years, the two of them have been colluding internally and externally,

offering low interest rates and reaching out to customers for bribery.

Such behavior is intolerable in the company.

But our situation is completely different in nature from theirs.

That's true, I've been scared silly.

Now the relationship between Zhao and Jing has been exposed,

as a leader, you can't escape blame either.

If our relationship is discovered at this time,

they will think there is a problem with the conduct of Division One,

ignoring the company's rules and regulations.

It will lead to a lot of rumors

and unfavorable public opinion,

which will affect your promotion.

Even keeping your current position will be difficult, right?

So, hiding and covering up these problems is futile.

We have to solve them fundamentally.

Tomorrow, I will go see the Bank President

to follow up on the progress of my promotion.

If I manage to get transferred,

not only for us,

it might also help Rao Jing and Zhao Fanggang.

Indeed, if you are going to work in new fields,

you're going to need some help.

Between the two of them,

one coming over would be beneficial to you.

But, no matter what,

let's hope everything goes as we wish

and we can also help Jing and Zhao.

Yes. Let's not think too much about it for now.

Hello, your takeaway is here.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Why hasn't the takeaway arrived yet?

Have you heard? Zhao Fanggang from Division One is also resigning.

One pair after another of these lovebirds is being exposed.

The company will reiterate its policy on family members avoiding conflicts of interest.

That's right.

The takeaway is here, let's go.

How are you doing?

I'm doing alright.

Just feeling a bit anxious now.

I've been working for Dairui for four years.

If the two of us were actually discovered

and one of us must leave,

no matter who goes,

I would find it hard to part.

I also know that we'll never find

a job more suitable

than our current one.

It's just a bit worrisome

I used to always console you.

Now even I, a mere receptionist,

can feel the cold atmosphere of this building.

I can only pass all my good luck to you,

praying that you won't be discovered.

What's for lunch?

Shall we make do with something?

I have to take a rain check.

I have a lunch date with my dad at the restaurant nearby.

Go ahead.

I'll treat you to something tasty another day.

Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu, I understand how you feel.

But the development of that piece of land

isn't something that can be done overnight

Yesterday, my team and your people worked until 4 AM,

didn't they share the plan with you?

Alright, alright, don't be anxious.

Let's meet in the afternoon and talk, alright?

Dad, is there anything else you want to eat?

Order whatever you'd like to eat.

I'll just have a little bite.

You have to eat properly.

[Spicy Pig's Feet]

Right, it's called the Star Residence Retirement Plan.

580,000 square meters, a landmark complex,

and the region's only pure slab building.

These points must be emphatically highlighted.

Send me the project proposal once it's been polished.

I'll take a look during a break in the meeting.

That loan is not repaid yet?

CC me in the email again, and I'll approve it right away.

Dad, have a sip of water.

I never realized how hard you work before.

I've saved up some money recently.

How about I treat you to this meal?

You can enjoy the feeling

of being treated to a meal with your daughter's wages.

That's so thoughtful.

Alright, past fifty and I finally get to eat a meal my daughter treats me to.

But let's agree in advance.

This meal shouldn't exceed 300 yuan.

Otherwise, my salary won't be enough for my expenses.

You called me here today, and I wanted to ask you

why have you stopped using the supplementary card I gave you lately.

Is something wrong?

No, it's just that recently,

I've been trying to support myself with my own salary.

How did you come up with this sudden idea?

Dad, it's not like you don't know.

Before, I would just buy whatever I wanted.

I didn't look at the price and bought things as I wished.

But recently, I've realized from Qi Yu

that making money seems quite difficult.

Isn't that also true for you?

I used to think you made money very easily.

But I've just realized

that it seems like you also don't get to sleep at night because of work.

You don't even have time to take a sip of water during a call.

Recently, by using my own salary.

I've started to slowly grasp the concept of money.

I know how much money a certain amount of labor can make,

and how much money can be spent

within a certain amount of salary.

Let me tell you, I insisted that you work

so that you would understand what money is all about.

You need to have a concept of it.

After all, in your generation,

it's harder to preserve wealth than to create it.

Alright, Dad has seen your efforts.

Having a basic understanding of money is enough.

I don't want my daughter to suffer.

Look at what you've ordered.

My poor daughter.

You didn't even dare to order your favorite spicy pig's feet.

Dad, this spicy pig's feet cost 258.

I only have a total of 300.

One must spend money where it matters.

Waiter.

Hello.

Please bring us a serving of spicy pig's feet.

- Okay. - Dad.

I will pay this 258. Eat to your heart's content.

You're the best. thank you, Dad.

It's hard to transition from luxury to thrift.

With your way of saving,

harder days are still to come.

Uncle.

Here you are.

Did you call me here suddenly for a reason?

You didn't tell Yi you were coming today, did you?

No, I came up the fire escape.

I heard you passed the police examination.

Good, you are indeed a man of your word.

I, too, am someone who keeps his word.

I won't oppose your relationship with Yi anymore.

Thank you, Uncle. I will definitely take good care of Weiyi.

Rest assured.

Really? She invited me out for lunch today,

and she wouldn't even order a dish she likes.

She's my only daughter.

Well done, you lad.

[Notice of Termination of Employment Contract]

Playing tricks on me, huh?

You've become shameless for the new branch president position.

It was you who spilled the beans to my wife, wasn't it?

Asking all the clients collectively report me for taking kickbacks,

you instructed them, didn't you?

No.

Xing, if you don't want others to know, you shouldn't have done it.

When you engage in too many sneaky moves,

it's inevitable that you'll let your guard down sometimes.

The more people who can't stand you,

the more likely someone will stand up to uphold justice.

I can say the same thing back at you.

Ji Yuheng.

It doesn't matter if you don't admit these things were done by you.

I've also prepared a parting gift for you.

I hope you'll accept it with good humor.

Jing.

[Dairui Bank]

Morning.

Tu, are you okay? Is everything fine?

What do you mean?

Take a look for yourself, Tu.

What's wrong?

[Shocking! One More Office Romance Ji Yuheng's Partner Turns Out to Be…]

[Did This Male Leader Harass the Female Employee or Did the Female Employee Seduce the Male Leader]

[Ji Yuheng Is Always Looking Distinguished. Don't Tell Me He's Slept with Everyone in Division One]

[Seems Like Even Heroes Can't Overcome the Beauty's Barriers, Huh]

[Office Romances in the Bank Have Been Increasing. Looks Like It's Time for Another Round of Regulations]

It's okay.

We'll step out for a bit.

Xiaoning, let's go.

What's wrong with you?

You've kept me in the dark about this from the very beginning.

Now it's all over the bank.

Your department just had a pair exposed, and now you, the leader, too…

Do you know how badly this is affecting us now?

They are saying we have an improper working attitude and chaotic management.

Do you think you can still be the branch president of Ji'an with this?

It'd be good if you don't get disciplined.

I'm sorry, President, for disappointing you.

No matter what decision the bank makes this time,

I'll bear the consequences.

After all, the two of us can't stay in the same department.

In the end, I'll surely be the one who leaves.

But in your current state,

it won't be easy for you to transfer to other banks in Dairui.

It'd also be hard to find a job elsewhere.

It's still better than staying here.

If I stay, I'll be poked in the backbone.

As long as your backbone is strong enough, you won't be afraid of being poked.

Do you still remember what I told you here?

I do. You said women should know to treat themselves better.

That's right, the workplace has always been tough on women,

so we don't need to be polite to the workplace either.

Work is the foundation of our livelihood.

At such times,

the most important thing is to secure your livelihood.

I understand.

Mouths are on others' faces.

We should not care about what others say.

But I know this process is painful.

You need to be mentally prepared.

Left, a bit higher.

I said the left, make it a bit higher.

What do you mean?

Tu didn't even know how to handle a letter of credit when she first arrived.

Who kindly gave her advice?

Who consoled her when she felt aggrieved at work?

Who supported her when she was openly and secretly competing with Tang for performance?

I treated her like a sister.

But what does she think of me?

A colleague, what else could it be?

The two of you are not blood relatives.

And there's Ji.

He and I work wonderfully in sync.

Wherever he points, I take action.

But they were actually dating right under my nose

without telling me.

Didn't you also not tell them?

But what hurts me the most is you.

We've been sharing the same bed for so long,

I've entrusted all my possessions to you.

You knew such a big secret,

and yet you didn't leak a hint of it to me.

Zhao Fanggang.

With that mouth of yours,

telling you would be like telling the whole world.

Do you realize that?

I treat you as family, but what do you treat me as?

The most foolish thing I did

was that I played matchmaker for Ji and Tang before.

I am the real clown.

Forget it. I'm leaving anyway, and so is Tu.

The originally happy family has fallen apart.

You and Ji can rely on each other for survival.

It's crooked.

Me and Ji relying on each other for survival?

Is it still possible for us to get a divorce now?

You just told me to rely on Ji for survival.

[Marriage Certificate] [In the Name of Love, Rao Jing, Zhao Fanggang]

It's chilly today.

Have a cup of hot tea to ward off the chill.

I've decided that tomorrow, I will apply for a job transfer.

If no other branch will take me in,

I'll just resign.

Actually, there's no need. If someone has to go, it should be me.

We both signed a bet agreement.

As long as you sign the contract with Weiji,

the goal of doubling the performance of Division One will be achieved.

As for me, I haven't managed to save 50 million yet.

I'm willing to accept the bet and concede defeat. I should leave.

I am aware of your work ability.

But given the current situation,

let's analyze it objectively.

If you are the one who leaves Division One

and Dairui,

it will be difficult to find a job that you are particularly satisfied with.

Besides, this job is what you love the most.

So you can't give up.

The one who should leave is still me.

I understand what you're saying.

Jing has also told me these things.

But an agreement is an agreement.

You can't be the one leaving

just because I can't find

a better job if I leave.

Moreover, let's analyze it objectively.

In our family, you earn several times more than I do.

It doesn't make sense to let

the one who earns more leave.

I'm a pragmatist. Who would have a problem with money?

So, my leaving is the best choice

for me, for you,

and for our family.

There's still no final decision on this matter now.

Let me handle it, okay?

Is there still room for discussion regarding this agreement?

Time flies, and eight months have passed so quickly.

♫ Another way ♫

This job is what you love the most.

So you can't give up.

Unknowingly, it seems like I really

have grown to love this job from the bottom of my heart.

It's not for becoming a regular nor for stability,

but for love.

♫ I know ♫

♫ Time heals everything ♫

Before, I would always get off at the intersection up ahead

and then walk to the company on my own.

Today, I can suddenly take a ride.

It feels a bit strange, not quite accustomed to it.

Anyway, it's all out in the open now.

There's nothing to hide.

I used to always feel

that our relationship was special,

and I felt bittersweet and a bit guilty.

I thought that one day,

when we could share it openly,

this kind of guilt would be gone,

and it would be much more relaxing.

But now that this moment has really come,

why don't I feel relaxed at all?

Maybe you should put me down in front.

I want to take a turn to buy some steamed buns.

Those steamed buns are really delicious.

Do you need me to wait for you?

No, you should go ahead.

Get me a vermicelli bun and a meat bun, thank you.

Okay.

Sorry, can I get two meat buns instead?

Thank you.

Xiaoning, what a coincidence.

Sorry. Yesterday, when you called me,

I had some urgent work matters

so I didn't have time to respond, sorry.

It's fine.

Tell me about it.

How did you meet Mr. Ji?

He's such a nice guy.

He can't even ensure his own safety,

yet he openly backed you up. That's so rare.

He's capable and responsible.

Why are you still striving for a career?

Hurry up and go home to be a full-time housewife.

It's much better than working hard here.

Wasn't he a boss who harassed female employees yesterday?

How come it's changed today?

What do you mean back me up? What does that mean?

You don't know?

Mr. Ji personally posted a statement on the intranet.

He even attached your marriage registration photo.

[A Statement About Tu Xiaoning and Me]

He posted it last night.

It explains that the two of you were together before he came to Division One.

Besides, he came to Division One

in a time of crisis, upon the request of the Bank President.

And this shows that those rumors

about you seducing him for a promotion

or being unscrupulous just to get a permanent position, are all groundless talks.

Thank you for telling me all this.

Bro.

Are you really leaving?

Look.

Our leader is truly impressive.

It's like directly slapping those

who say Tu hooked up with the boss

trying to get a higher position in the face.

They truly have mutual affection,

and they were truly going for marriage.

before becoming colleagues.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Tu. - Good morning.

Morning.

Have you thought it through?

But I don't think Mr. Ji would accept my resignation letter.

I'll take it directly to the Bank President.

Mr. Ji.

Great. Everyone is here.

I'm informing everyone of a new personnel change.

The Bank President has officially approved my transfer application.

Today is my last day working here.

I've reported my handover to the back.

Tomorrow I will officially leave Division One.

I'm clearly the one who should be leaving.

Why did you take it upon yourself?

Or did you never take

our agreement seriously?

Have you been playing me from the start?

Don't get angry yet.

Actually, it was because I needed to compete with Division Two

that our relationship was exposed.

Also, it's because I came to Division One

that you've been on tenterhooks every day,

worried that our relationship will be exposed.

The whole thing started because of me.

So of course, I'll take responsibility.

So, you had planned it all from the beginning.

You only signed the bet agreement

so I wouldn't overthink it.

There's another reason.

I wanted you to be able to showcase your talents.

I don't have any talents.

I am just a minor business manager.

But you're different. You were sent by the Bank President.

If you leave, he will surely be angry.

You know

the financial family recusal policy, right?

The purpose is to prevent the abuse of power for personal gain.

You and Tu aren't married.

So strictly speaking, it isn't a violation.

But when you mix personal feelings with work,

even if not against the rules, it's still not clear-cut.

Tu has advanced so quickly,

and it coincided with the incident in Division Two.

There are rumors saying you've used

your authority to favor Tu.

You said it yourself, they're just rumors.

I, Ji Yuheng, have never

abused my authority even once.

Besides the per capita allocation of government deposits,

Tu Xiaoning has never

received any special treatment from me.

Her promotions and clients were all on her own merit.

I understand what you've said.

But Tu, she really must go.

No, Tu Xiaoning cannot leave.

This is not merely a workplace.

For her, it's a career she's fully committed to.

I'm the one who should leave.

Sir, I will send you the transfer application later.

Thank you for your trust and care for me all along.

I said to my teacher

that you were very capable.

If you did leave,

it is certainly a loss to Division One.

So my teacher thought about it

and felt that what I said made sense.

So he approved my transfer application last night.

The Bank President isn't so easily deceived.

Did he really approve it?

Where are you going?

I haven't heard about any openings in our city.

Could it be a demotion?

It's the branch in Nan'an County. I will continue as manager.

Nan'an County, it's more than a two-hour drive.

Yes.

That's far.

Is this a punishment?

Of course not.

Mainly it's because the Nan'an County branch

has accumulated quite a lot of non-performing loans,

which have been weighing down the branch's performance for years.

Last year, they were at the bottom of the whole province.

Additionally, the account managers can't get performance commissions

so they lack the motivation to work.

This has become a vicious cycle.

So the leaders probably want me to go there

and deal with this issue.

Moreover, it's a critical moment now.

Moving me a bit farther away

is also a form of protection for me.

For me, it's an opportunity to gain experience at the grassroots level.

It's a good thing for me.

What, do you not want me to go?

Yes, going to the grassroots can indeed accumulate some experience.

Staying away a bit at this time

can also help avoid the limelight.

The Bank President was kind enough to do this.

But if it weren't for these issues,

you could have gone to a better place.

I will certainly work hard there.

This is just a transition.

I will strive to be transferred back as soon as possible.

It's so far.

Don't overthink it.

[Manager Ji Yuheng]

You've worked hard.

I guess you will soon welcome a better partner.

I'm leaving first.

I heard you went to HR this afternoon to hand in your resignation.

There's a new guy in HR.

He doesn't know the situation.

He asked me if you were the only person I believed in within the Development Department.

He asked me if you left,

would I also quit.

You definitely wouldn't tell him that.

You understand me the best.

How can I show my loyalty to you at such a time?

I want everyone to know

that my leaving is because of Ms. Rao.

Well done.

You must be quite reluctant, right?

What do you think, will we come back?

Your wife is here.

My fiancée is also here.

We will come.

We're brothers in adversity.

By the way, Zhao, you resigned without a new job lined up.

Any prospects for a new job?

No.

A friend of mine has a financial company.

They're looking to hire a short-term client manager.

They require over five years of work experience.

The salary is also quite good.

I will send you his business card in a while.

If needed, you could use it as a transition.

Okay, thank you.

I'm leaving now.

Don't miss me too much.

Boss, if there's a chance in the future,

call me anytime. I'm still willing to work with you.

Anyway, the issue with Xiaoning has finally come to an end.

She no longer has to live in fear.

She can now date openly and legitimately.

Ji is indeed reliable.

But I don't know what this Ji Yuheng

is still dragging his feet about.

If it were me, I would immediately take Xiaoning to get the marriage certificate.

Stepping firmly into the hall of marriage amidst such storms,

how meaningful would that be?

Weiyi, didn't you say we should find time to watch the sunrise together?

I've checked, Nanshan is the best place to watch the sunrise.

What do you think?

I think Nanshan gets quite crowded.

I want to go to Baisha Beach.

Why get up so early?

Isn't it just 5:30?

Don't you have to leave at six?

I'd like to pack some things for you to take with you.

This is it.

You've brought everything, even a water cup and wet wipes.

Why are there socks as well?

I figured the round trip to your place would take four hours.

If you have to entertain clients at night,

and you might drink some alcohol and won't be able to rush back.

I've brought you shirts and socks

just in case of emergency.

I also put a little blanket in the car for you.

If you're tired, you can take a short nap in the car.

Miss Tu is so considerate, thank you.

However, you can rest assured.

I wouldn't stay out all night unless it's absolutely necessary.

Impressive, you've passed the assessment.

How long do you have to stay there?

When your leaders talked to you,

did they say anything or reveal anything?

It's really hard to say.

After dealing with all the issues there,

I'll have to wait for a position in the city before I can come over.

It's all hard to say

Take it slow, no rush.

I forgot to tell you yesterday

that two new people are joining our department.

You and Zhao have left, right?

Today two people are coming to report for duty.

The storm hasn't passed yet.

To put it bluntly, by going there, I can still find some peace.

There could be rumors and gossip about you here at any time,

some idle talk and such.

If you do hear them, don't take them to heart.

At most, it's just some idle chatter over here.

Compared to those bad debts you have in Nan'an County,

it's nothing.

No hurry, deal with it slowly.

This is how life is. You can't always be on the high ground.

It's all ups and downs.

Although we have difficulties now,

take it slow, and things will surely get better and better later on.

I'll remember that.

Where is yours?

It should be by the head of the bed.

I'll put it on for you.

Xiaoning, once this period is over,

let's go on a vacation together.

What? Do you want to take annual leave just after starting work?

You just started at the new branch.

Alright, then wait until after this busy period,

I'll talk to Jing about it.

[Early Morning The Scent of Coffee and You]
