Data Deception: A Wife's Regret (Dubbed) Chinese Drama

Transcript

00:00:00The employee with the worst performance has to wear a bottom ranker shirt and walk around for everyone to see.

00:00:05This time, the poor performer is my wife's old claim.

00:00:08But she swept my top sales numbers with her old claims.

00:00:19Edward Quinn, you were at the bottom last month.

00:00:22Come on, put this on and start your walk of shit.

00:00:24Ed's been our top sales guy for 8 years.

00:00:2699% of the business are from his deals.

00:00:28How could he be at the bottom?

00:00:29Last month, I saw him close a 5 million deal.

00:00:32Mr. Reed, are you sure about these numbers?

00:00:35Look closely.

00:00:36This data was put together personally by his wife, our CEO.

00:00:40How could there be a mistake?

00:00:41You!

00:00:45I don't believe it.

00:00:46Hey!

00:00:47One word from me, and she switched the numbers.

00:00:49Edward, don't tell me you still don't get it.

00:00:53You'll always be my stand-in.

00:00:55And I am the one she truly wants.

00:00:59Lauren.

00:01:00Honey, Nathan is thin-skinned.

00:01:01The public shaming may cause him mental issues.

00:01:03You heard the champ.

00:01:04So unstoppable, it's okay, huh?

00:01:06As long as you promise me, I'll have your baby.

00:01:12Lauren.

00:01:13The doctor says my mom's getting worse.

00:01:14She's got at most one year left.

00:01:15Her last wish is to see her grandchild.

00:01:17Can we-

00:01:18Edward, how can you be so selfish?

00:01:20My company's on the rise.

00:01:21You want me to have a baby now?

00:01:23What about my company?

00:01:24Lauren Carter, when my mom was sick and wanted a grandchild, you refused no matter what.

00:01:30And now, you'd go this far for Nathan Reed.

00:01:33The numbers are certainly right, Edward.

00:01:38This is a rule we set a long time ago.

00:01:40If you don't put it on, we'll dock your pay and bonus.

00:01:43Money or your pride.

00:01:44You decide.

00:01:45This time, I choose neither.

00:01:52I'm done with you, and the company.

00:01:55You dare to quit.

00:01:58I'm done with you, and the company.

00:02:00You dare to quit.

00:02:02Miss Carter, Edward has been our top sales champ for eight years.

00:02:06Every big deal we landed was thanks to him.

00:02:08If he leaves, the company's finished.

00:02:10Edward.

00:02:11Miss Carter didn't mean it like that.

00:02:13If there's a problem between you, go home and talk it out.

00:02:15Don't threaten to quit every time.

00:02:16It's hurting your relationship.

00:02:17Have you had enough?

00:02:18You act more mature and rational.

00:02:20Always threatening to quit.

00:02:21What's the point?

00:02:22Is this really necessary?

00:02:24First of all, I didn't threaten to quit every time.

00:02:27This is the only time in eight years at this company.

00:02:29Second, I'm not threatening you.

00:02:31This is my resignation letter.

00:02:32Please approve it, Miss Carter.

00:02:34Edward, don't be impulsive.

00:02:35Yeah, Edward.

00:02:36The company can't lose you.

00:02:37Leonard, Kurt, you don't need to persuade me.

00:02:39This time, I'm serious.

00:02:40Eight years ago, I helped Lauren start his company.

00:02:42For eight years, I worked tirelessly and always top the sales charts.

00:02:47But after all this time, I'm still just a regular employee.

00:02:51Honey, you're my husband.

00:02:53What's minus yours?

00:02:54Sales manager?

00:02:55Don't take it so seriously.

00:02:56It's just some title.

00:02:57Huh?

00:02:58Hmm.

00:02:59Hmm.

00:03:00I believed her.

00:03:04For eight years, I kept my head down.

00:03:07She changed managers ten times, and every time I was left out.

00:03:10Three months ago, we celebrated our eighth anniversary together.

00:03:14Honey, if you win top sales again this month, the sales manager position is yours.

00:03:20All right.

00:03:21Because of that promise, for a whole month, I worked day and night chasing sales.

00:03:27Drinking with Mr. Foster ruined my stomach.

00:03:29I got treated like a dog by Mr. Harris.

00:03:31Finally, I crushed the competition.

00:03:33But she gave the position to her old flame, Nathan Reed.

00:03:38Honey, Nathan's got a PhD from Stanford.

00:03:42He's got the education and skills.

00:03:43He's better suited to run the company than you.

00:03:45Why don't you give him the position this time?

00:03:47Forget it.

00:03:48I'm the one who should leave.

00:03:50It's my fault.

00:03:51For always insisting on rules and procedures and ended up upsetting everyone.

00:03:55Edward is always the champion and the husband of Ms. Carter.

00:03:58I should have given you this respect.

00:04:00I apologize to you.

00:04:01I'm sorry.

00:04:02Nathan!

00:04:03You don't have to.

00:04:04Edward, have you had enough of this?

00:04:05Nathan is the sales manager now.

00:04:07If you keep humiliating him, how is he supposed to manage the team going forward?

00:04:12Lauren Carter.

00:04:13I humiliated him?

00:04:14Can you please focus a little more?

00:04:16Open your eyes and look.

00:04:18Who's the one being humiliated here?

00:04:19Lauren, don't ruin things.

00:04:21Between you and Edward because of me.

00:04:23This is all my fault.

00:04:24Maybe I should leave.

00:04:25Hey!

00:04:26Don't!

00:04:28The drama king is on the move again.

00:04:30I really don't get it.

00:04:31Why does Mr. Carter let him be the manager?

00:04:32He has no real skills and is so arrogant.

00:04:34Last time she gave my client to him, the drama king was so arrogant about it.

00:04:38Not only did he piss off client, he blew the whole deal.

00:04:40Exactly.

00:04:41He messed up one of my deals too.

00:04:42But instead of blaming him, Lauren chewed me out for half an hour.

00:04:45Said my clients were low-end and if I brought in clients like that again, I could just get out.

00:04:50Lauren Carter.

00:04:51I can't believe you would force them to hand over clients to Mason just to protect him.

00:04:57Lauren, I was planning to come back and help you after finishing my PhD.

00:05:00Never expected Edward would get the wrong idea.

00:05:03Don't.

00:05:04Don't worry.

00:05:05I'll make sure you get justice.

00:05:06Come on.

00:05:07Edward, can't you think about the big picture here?

00:05:09Nathan's got a PhD from abroad.

00:05:10He's a top-tier talent.

00:05:11Do you know how many companies offered him high pay?

00:05:13He only stayed because of the bond we built back in school.

00:05:16If you drive him away, how's our company supposed to grow?

00:05:19I'm mad at him.

00:05:20He literally faked the numbers and humiliated me.

00:05:22But somehow you're saying I'm the one humiliating him.

00:05:24How did he fake the data?

00:05:25It's clear you were at the bottom.

00:05:27Didn't you have a time when your numbers were worse too?

00:05:29Didn't you also wear that shirt and dress up as a frog?

00:05:31Why are you so embarrassed now?

00:05:33I think you're just seeing that I've ground the company and now you're all bitter about it.

00:05:37You really know how to twist things.

00:05:38If my numbers aren't really at the bottom, I'll admit defeat.

00:05:41No complaints.

00:05:42But if you want me to take the fall for Nathan, no way in hell.

00:05:50Here's the sales report I printed ahead of time.

00:05:52Take a good look.

00:05:53Let's see who the real bottom ranker is.

00:06:09I'm saying how cadet would possibly be the worst?

00:06:11Nathan took so many of our clients and he's still dead last.

00:06:13What do you mean?

00:06:14I just want to choose to come out.

00:06:16What?

00:06:17Feeling protected now?

00:06:22How can I tell if these numbers are real or fake?

00:06:27See these?

00:06:28Those contracts.

00:06:29They're already signed.

00:06:30It's just not filed yet.

00:06:31If you don't believe it, you can check for yourself.

00:06:33And see if it's true.

00:06:35Are you blind or what?

00:06:37How do you even get the data backwards?

00:06:39Right now pack your stuff and get out!

00:06:41Miss Carter, I did it.

00:06:42I swear I did it.

00:06:43Whatever!

00:06:44You're fired.

00:06:45Get her out of here!

00:06:46It wasn't me.

00:06:47Lauren Carter, come on.

00:06:49Didn't expect you'd toss out your own secretary.

00:06:52Just to cover for Nathan.

00:06:53I guess you've forgotten what got you started in the first place.

00:06:56Alright enough.

00:06:57Back to work.

00:06:58Meeting's over.

00:07:02Hold up.

00:07:03Mr. Reed.

00:07:04You're not even dressed yet.

00:07:05Where are you going?

00:07:09Mr. Reed.

00:07:10Didn't you just say you stick to your principles just doing your job?

00:07:14So what now?

00:07:15Your principles don't apply to you?

00:07:17What's wrong Nathan?

00:07:18It's just putting on an outfit, walking around the office.

00:07:20No big deal.

00:07:21Yeah.

00:07:22We've all done it before.

00:07:23Nathan, you can't be the one to break the rules.

00:07:25How can you win our trust then?

00:07:27Lauren.

00:07:28Hey.

00:07:32Did you make those calls?

00:07:33Did you follow up with the clients?

00:07:34All you do is stir up drama every day.

00:07:36If you have that time, why not close a few more deals?

00:07:38Break up!

00:07:40Edward.

00:07:43Why is everyone looking at me?

00:07:45I don't work here anymore.

00:07:47See you around.

00:07:48Guys.

00:07:49Edward!

00:07:55Hey, Edward!

00:07:56Edward!

00:07:57Edward!

00:07:58I'm sorry, okay babe?

00:07:59I messed up.

00:08:00You know, Nathan's the manager I brought up myself.

00:08:03If he couldn't do the job, how would the team see me?

00:08:05I was just scared the staff would talk behind my back.

00:08:08I messed up.

00:08:09Just give me one last chance.

00:08:11Don't leave, please.

00:08:15Not necessary.

00:08:16I...

00:08:17Lauren.

00:08:18I just took a hit emotionally.

00:08:19I'm not feeling great.

00:08:20Can you help me out?

00:08:22I got something to handle.

00:08:23Don't make a scene.

00:08:25Give me back my payroll card.

00:08:26Why do you need the card?

00:08:27That's my personal property.

00:08:28Alright, alright.

00:08:29Here, take it.

00:08:30Go home and get some rest.

00:08:31I'll give you a day off.

00:08:32Come to work tomorrow.

00:08:34Lauren Carter.

00:08:35Lauren Carter.

00:08:36This time, I'm really not giving you another chance.

00:08:41Hello?

00:08:42Edward.

00:08:43It's James.

00:08:44My mom suddenly got really sick.

00:08:45I'm overseas and I can't get back.

00:08:46Could you stay with her out of the hospital?

00:08:47Mr. Foster, please don't worry.

00:08:48I'll be right there.

00:08:50Lauren Carter.

00:08:51You think sales is just about having a fancy degree?

00:08:54Nathan is too proud to actually serve the client,

00:08:56so he'll never be a good salesperson.

00:08:59Edward.

00:09:00Thank you so much.

00:09:01These past few days, you've been caring for me day and night.

00:09:04Ma'am.

00:09:05Mr. Foster is one of my biggest clients.

00:09:06Taking care of you is really the least I can do.

00:09:08That brat.

00:09:10Hey.

00:09:11Don't worry.

00:09:12When he gets back, I'll make sure he gives you all his future business.

00:09:15Ma'am.

00:09:16Please don't do that.

00:09:17Mr. Foster is a big boss.

00:09:18It's normal for him to be busy.

00:09:19I'm not looking after you, just for the business.

00:09:21Mom.

00:09:24Mom, are you okay?

00:09:25Edward's been here the whole time.

00:09:26Or if you were any later, you might not have seen me again.

00:09:28Mom.

00:09:29You know, work's been crazy.

00:09:30Besides, Edward is so thoughtful.

00:09:32With him looking after you, I don't have to worry.

00:09:34So is he supposed to owe you, or do you owe him?

00:09:36Why would he take care of me?

00:09:37No one in our family forgets the kindness.

00:09:40Mom, don't worry.

00:09:41I get it.

00:09:44Edward.

00:09:45From now on, every order from Foster Group is yours.

00:09:48Tomorrow, I'll sign a deal at your company.

00:09:49No need, Mr. Foster.

00:09:50I've already left the company.

00:09:51Weren't you Lauren's husband?

00:09:53How did you end up leaving?

00:09:54There's a lot to that story.

00:09:56But, Mr. Foster, I do have a favor to ask of you.

00:09:58Say the word.

00:09:59I'd walk through fire for you, if you needed it.

00:10:01Hey, guys.

00:10:02So sorry I'm late.

00:10:03Wow, Mr. Reed.

00:10:05Where did you get such a beautiful and wealthy girlfriend?

00:10:07Yeah, yeah.

00:10:08Why haven't you introduced her yet?

00:10:09Hold on.

00:10:10Three shots is a penalty.

00:10:11Alright, alright.

00:10:12Tonight, drinks are on me.

00:10:13Drink up freely.

00:10:14Wow, awesome.

00:10:15Hey, Miss.

00:10:16Why are you so quiet?

00:10:23Lauren, what's up?

00:10:25Are you not feeling well?

00:10:26Nathan, aren't you going to say something?

00:10:28Yeah.

00:10:31Sorry.

00:10:32Something just came up.

00:10:33Let's hang out next time.

00:10:36Nathan, what's going on?

00:10:38Yeah, why did she just leave all of a sudden?

00:10:40You know, Lauren is a CEO.

00:10:42She's got a lot on her plate.

00:10:43How about this?

00:10:44Tonight, it's on me.

00:10:45Let's just have a good time, okay?

00:10:46Hey, sounds good.

00:10:50Edward, just you wait.

00:10:52Lauren will be mine sooner or later.

00:10:55Edward, stop right there!

00:11:04Hey, boss.

00:11:05Beef noodles, please.

00:11:06Honey, don't get the wrong idea.

00:11:07I just, I saw you were upset yesterday and I wanted to make it up to you.

00:11:11I wasn't sure what you'd like, so I asked Nathan to help me pick something else.

00:11:16Look, do you like it?

00:11:20It's the latest collection, over 10,000 each.

00:11:25Are you sure you bought this for me?

00:11:27Of course, I'm your wife.

00:11:28Who else would I buy it for?

00:11:30With my body?

00:11:31You think I can fit into a side task?

00:11:32This is for Nathan, isn't it?

00:11:33Honey, let me explain.

00:11:34I did get this for you.

00:11:35I just messed up the size.

00:11:37Don't worry, I'll go exchange it.

00:11:41Hey, your noodles are ready.

00:11:45Why are you eating so little?

00:11:49Boss!

00:11:50I'll have some sliced beef, one spicy chicken, and a bottle of beer.

00:11:53Got it!

00:11:54Take your time.

00:11:55Young man.

00:11:56Your wife treats you really well.

00:11:57All right.

00:11:58What do you want from me?

00:11:59Honey, you've been working too hard lately, so I signed you up for a 10-day Europe tour package, so why don't you let Nathan handle your clients for a while?

00:12:12Don't worry, your commission will stay exactly the same, I promise you won't lose out.

00:12:19Lauren Carter, I always knew every nice thing you did for me, head and angle.

00:12:24Babe, you're basically a senior employee here now, you should give the new folks a chance to learn and grow, right?

00:12:30Come on, I'm your wife, the whole company is yours anyway, right?

00:12:33All right?

00:12:34Seriously?

00:12:37Of course.

00:12:39Once I leave the company, all my clients will go to Nathan Reed.

00:12:44I'm quit.

00:12:46Wait, babe.

00:12:47I never even approved your resignation, you posted online, are you crazy?

00:12:53Hello?

00:12:54Miss Carter, heard Edward just left the company.

00:12:56Once this contract's up, we're not renewing our partnership.

00:12:58No way, it's just a little spat between us, we'll patch things up.

00:13:02Hello?

00:13:03Hello?

00:13:04Hey!

00:13:06Mr. Scott, resign?

00:13:08No way.

00:13:09Even if he leaves the company, he's still my husband.

00:13:21Lauren Carter, let's get a divorce.

00:13:22Yeah, okay.

00:13:23What did you say?

00:13:24Nothing.

00:13:25Just sign this.

00:13:27Hey, Nathan.

00:13:28It's fine, don't blame yourself.

00:13:30It's all because Edward is throwing a tantrum.

00:13:32You guys go ahead and eat.

00:13:33I'll come find you guys in a bit.

00:13:37Edward.

00:13:38Honey!

00:13:39Hey!

00:13:40You haven't paid for your meal.

00:13:41Oh, sorry about that.

00:13:47Don't worry, Edward Quinn is just in a mood.

00:13:49I'll go home and talk him down.

00:13:50Trust me.

00:13:51There's no way he's actually quitting.

00:13:52Hey, I was just talking off the cuff earlier.

00:13:56If you don't want to hand your clients, just say no.

00:13:57Why are you upset?

00:13:58Babe, please just text me back.

00:13:59Don't give me a cold shoulder, okay?

00:14:01Lauren Carter, if you had just come home right now, you would have found me there.

00:14:02However, just to be with Nathan, I don't know.

00:14:03I don't know.

00:14:04I don't know.

00:14:05I don't know.

00:14:06I don't know.

00:14:07I don't know.

00:14:08I don't know.

00:14:09I don't know.

00:14:10I don't know.

00:14:11Babe, I was just talking off the cuff earlier.

00:14:12If you don't want to hand your clients, just say no.

00:14:13Why are you upset?

00:14:14Babe, please just text me back.

00:14:15Don't give me a cold shoulder, okay?

00:14:16Lauren Carter, if you had just come home right now, you would have found me there.

00:14:29Just to be with Nathan, you gave up your last chance.

00:14:36Edward, you probably don't know, but my relationship with Lauren never actually ended.

00:14:47This is a photo of us on vacation in Maldives.

00:14:50This is a photo of us traveling in Iceland.

00:14:53This is the Patek Philippe Lauren gave me for my birthday last year.

00:14:56Edward Quinn, honestly, I should thank you for working so hard.

00:15:00Otherwise, I wouldn't have what I have today.

00:15:02Oh, right.

00:15:03Tonight, you don't need to wait for her.

00:15:07Lauren, you lost the game, so you have to give Nathan a kiss.

00:15:09Yeah, that's the rule of the drinking game.

00:15:11Lauren, you're not gonna embarrass him, right?

00:15:13Kiss him! Kiss him! Kiss him! Kiss him! Kiss him! Kiss him!

00:15:16It's okay if you don't want to. I don't mind looking bad.

00:15:19Just don't give him the wrong idea.

00:15:26Mr. Foster, do me a favor.

00:15:28Hi, there's only 6.98 left on this card.

00:15:31Could you print out the past eight years bank transactions from this debit card?

00:15:35Sure.

00:15:36I've worked 80 years and earned over a million in salaries.

00:15:38All this time, you told me to be frugal.

00:15:40Who knew? All that money went into supporting Nathan.

00:15:42Honey, last night I was drinking with Mr. Scott and he puked down me by accident.

00:15:45I have to meet a client today. Give me my payroll card. I need to buy a new suit.

00:15:48No need. I've got it ready for you.

00:15:52Thanks, honey.

00:15:55Honey, this suit feels a little tight.

00:15:57I'm sorry, honey. I bought the wrong size.

00:16:01I was so stupid. I actually believed you. Just got the wrong size.

00:16:05Turns out, it was just the trash Nathan Reed didn't want.

00:16:08Lauren Carter, Nathan Reed, since you teamed up to bleed me dry, don't blame me for fighting back.

00:16:14From now on, I'm taking back everything that's mine.

00:16:19Mr. Quinn, with this evidence, we can definitely help you get your money back.

00:16:22Even if you want to file for divorce, you're very likely to win.

00:16:24Thank you, Ms. Ro.

00:16:25Edward, where did that punk Nathan even come from?

00:16:31He's trying to steal your clients and now he's coming after me.

00:16:33I'm going there with some guys to mess him up.

00:16:35Mr. Harris, don't get worked up. Just agree to it.

00:16:37Are you insane, Edward? These are deals worth tens of millions.

00:16:40Relax. I've got a plan.

00:16:42Alright, then. I'll trust you on this.

00:16:44After all, you've done me a huge favor before.

00:16:45From now on, all my business goes through you.

00:16:47Deal.

00:16:51I'll leave the rest to you, Ms. Ro.

00:16:52Don't worry.

00:16:55Edward, get to the office.

00:16:56I'm only coming for one thing.

00:16:58It's to resign.

00:16:59That's what I'm calling you for.

00:17:00Alright.

00:17:01I'm on my way now.

00:17:12Congratulations to Mr. Reid for landing a huge deal.

00:17:14Total value, 40 million.

00:17:16Everyone give it up.

00:17:17To encourage everyone to compete, I've decided to promote Nathan Reed to sales director.

00:17:28Let's welcome him.

00:17:34Ms. Carter, looks like not everyone's throat.

00:17:37Edward, don't think we can't run without you.

00:17:39Whatever you can do, Nathan can do too.

00:17:42Lauren Carter, do you really think Nathan Reed can close those two big deals?

00:17:49Edward, can you stop being so arrogant?

00:17:51You can land a big deal, but why can Nathan do it?

00:17:53Nathan's got a PhD from abroad, a top-tier talent that every major company is fighting over.

00:17:57And you're a loser with a high school diploma.

00:17:59Would you have to compete with him?

00:18:01Me?

00:18:02I'm a loser?

00:18:03Eight years ago, since you started this company,

00:18:05which big client wasn't brought in by me.

00:18:07And now, you call me useless.

00:18:08I'm not even going to argue with you.

00:18:09Today, just swallow your pride and apologize to Nathan.

00:18:12Maybe then I'll consider letting you stay.

00:18:14Otherwise, pack your stuff and get out!

00:18:16Lauren, don't blame him too much.

00:18:18After all, he's poorly educated and narrow-minded.

00:18:20He mistakes the platform for his own ability.

00:18:23Let's give him one more chance.

00:18:24Did you hear that?

00:18:25You're always targeting Nathan, and he's still speaking up for you.

00:18:28That's the difference between people.

00:18:30He's got a big heart, doesn't hold grudges, unlike you.

00:18:33So petty and calculating.

00:18:34You're threatening to quit over something minor.

00:18:36If someone like you really left my company, you'd be a nobody.

00:18:39Lauren, don't say that about him.

00:18:41Just give him one more chance, okay?

00:18:42He is your husband, after all.

00:18:44How about this?

00:18:45Let's make him a supervisor under my management.

00:18:47I'll teach him properly.

00:18:48Did you hear that?

00:18:49Aren't you going to thank Nathan?

00:18:51Here.

00:18:52The employment contract, sign it.

00:18:54Take it.

00:18:55From now on, you're a supervisor reporting to Nathan.

00:18:58All sales commissions will be split nine to one.

00:19:00You get one, he gets nine.

00:19:02That's outrageous.

00:19:03All of the contracts were signed by Edward.

00:19:04What gives Nathan 90%?

00:19:06Exactly.

00:19:07What's so special about Nathan, anyway?

00:19:09When the contracts signed today, weren't those all Edward's clients?

00:19:11Yeah, that's right.

00:19:12What are you waiting for?

00:19:13Hurry up and sign.

00:19:20Edward, what the hell is this?

00:19:22If anyone wants to sign a slave contract, be my guest.

00:19:25Today, I'm here to resign.

00:19:26Just sign my resignation already.

00:19:28Stop wasting my time.

00:19:29You're really stubborn as a rock, aren't you?

00:19:31You wanna quit?

00:19:32Fine!

00:19:33I'll sign!

00:19:44Just wait until Nathan takes all your clients away.

00:19:46Let's see what you're made of.

00:19:47Mr. Harris, Mr. Foster, glad you could make it.

00:19:50The contracts are all ready.

00:19:51We can renew today.

00:19:52Edward, have you signed your resignation?

00:19:54It's done.

00:19:55Edward has left the company.

00:19:56Now Nathan Reed is in charge of our contracts.

00:19:58Mr. Foster, Mr. Harris, I'm Nathan Reed.

00:20:00Graduated from Stanford University with a PhD in economics.

00:20:03If you work with me, I guarantee your company will reach new heights.

00:20:07What the hell is this?

00:20:08Such a big mouth.

00:20:09It sounds like a dog barking for no reason.

00:20:13Miss Carter, we're not here to sign any contracts.

00:20:16We're here to terminate.

00:20:17What? Terminate?

00:20:18It's not just us.

00:20:19They're all here too.

00:20:29All 56 company presidents are here to back out.

00:20:36Miss Carter, this is our termination contract.

00:20:41Mr. Foster, weren't we supposed to renew our partnership?

00:20:46Why are you going back on your word now?

00:20:48If Edward was still here, maybe we'd be renewing now.

00:20:50But the thing is, he's already left, right?

00:20:52Miss Carter, you've been CEO for a few years now.

00:20:54How could you be so stupid as to cut someone so critical to the business?

00:20:57Mr. Foster, Mr. Harris, Edward and I are married.

00:21:00We're just having a little spat, I'll calm him down.

00:21:02He'd never actually quit.

00:21:03Can't we forget about the termination?

00:21:06But why do I see that you've already signed the resignation papers?

00:21:08That was all just for show.

00:21:10The process isn't even finished yet.

00:21:12It doesn't count, doesn't count.

00:21:15Edward, explain to them you didn't really mean to quit, right?

00:21:19Fine.

00:21:20I'll say it.

00:21:21I knew it.

00:21:22My husband would never leave me hanging.

00:21:23Hey, Edward, you-

00:21:24Hey!

00:21:25Raymond, hold on a second.

00:21:26Let's hear what Edward has to say.

00:21:28Hmm.

00:21:29Thank you, everyone, for coming here to support me today.

00:21:32I want to announce that starting today, I am officially leaving this company.

00:21:40I hereby announce, starting today, I'm leaving this company.

00:21:46Edward, what are you playing at?

00:21:50Lauren Carter, don't you think I'm useless?

00:21:52Don't you think that without his company, I'm nothing?

00:21:55Don't you believe Nathan can take my place?

00:21:57Fine, I'll do exactly what you want.

00:21:59I'm resigning, and giving you and Nathan Reed the chance to show what you can do.

00:22:03I was just speaking in anger.

00:22:04Why are you taking this so seriously?

00:22:05But still, Nathan just finished his PhD.

00:22:08He doesn't have much experience.

00:22:09I'll keep his position open for you.

00:22:11Please don't quit, okay?

00:22:12Be firm before being humble.

00:22:14Lauren Carter, you're so ridiculous.

00:22:16Even now, you're still making excuses for him.

00:22:18That's really no hope for you.

00:22:19That's enough, Edward!

00:22:20Who are you to judge Lauren?

00:22:22Don't forget, she's the one who started this company.

00:22:24You only got here a little before me, and has a bigger client list than I do.

00:22:27That's why you're on top.

00:22:28If it was a fair competition, you might not be better than me.

00:22:31So you're saying, as long as you get the chance, you could steal my clients?

00:22:34Of course.

00:22:35Alright.

00:22:36Here's my entire client list.

00:22:38I'm giving you this shot.

00:22:39You can go talk to them face to face.

00:22:41Let's see if you can win them over.

00:22:43Edward, don't come crying later.

00:22:47Hello, Mr. Harris.

00:22:48My name is Nathan Reed, a PhD in economics from Stanford.

00:22:50If you partner with-

00:22:52James, didn't we just hear the same pitch somewhere?

00:22:55When we walked in, I think we already heard that line.

00:22:58Oh, Nathan Reed.

00:23:00You know I remember.

00:23:01You're the guy who called yesterday trying to poach me.

00:23:03That clueless rookie, right?

00:23:04Mr. Harris, please show some respect.

00:23:06I'm not a clueless rookie.

00:23:07If you can't even take a little pressure, why are you even in sales?

00:23:09Exactly.

00:23:10Always putting on airs, acting like Yelm's the place.

00:23:13No way he's closing any deals like that.

00:23:15Respect.

00:23:16You haven't earned it.

00:23:17Don't think just because you've got a PhD you're special.

00:23:20My company's full of people like you, and none of them would dare talk back to me.

00:23:24Who do you think you are?

00:23:25Get out!

00:23:26You-

00:23:27Nathan, Mr. Harris had ties to Dawn the World.

00:23:29He's not easy to win over.

00:23:30How about talking to Mr. Foster instead?

00:23:31He's much more approachable.

00:23:33I'll give it a shot.

00:23:35Mr. Foster, could I have a work with you?

00:23:38No.

00:23:39Not only will I not work with you, but so will every CEO here.

00:23:44Why not?

00:23:45I mean, I have a PhD.

00:23:46My credentials and skills are better than his.

00:23:48How am I not as good as him?

00:23:50Why pick him over me?

00:23:51Why?

00:23:52Because you don't deserve it.

00:23:53Edward and I go way back.

00:23:54Every CEO in this room owes him something.

00:23:56And you think you could sign us just with a couple of lines?

00:23:59That's just wishful thinking.

00:24:00Yeah, we only trust Edward.

00:24:01That's right.

00:24:02If Edward leaves, we're ending our contracts.

00:24:04Mr. Foster, if you're willing to renew with us...

00:24:06I'm willing to...to...knock 30% off!

00:24:12Nathan Reed, are you insane?

00:24:13Our company barely makes 20% in profit.

00:24:15He's talking about 30%.

00:24:16That's basically a loss.

00:24:17Nathan, 30% will be pleading money.

00:24:20Lauren, don't worry.

00:24:21A temporary loss isn't a problem.

00:24:23My professors always said a price war is the best way to attract customers.

00:24:27Lauren, trust me, I can do this.

00:24:29Edward, talk some sense into Lauren.

00:24:31The company can't handle a loss like this.

00:24:33What will be, will be.

00:24:34If she really is this reckless, nothing I can do.

00:24:37Ms. Carter, was that guy serious about the 30% discount?

00:24:41Lauren, stop hesitating.

00:24:43Do you really want to let Edward walk all over me?

00:24:49That's right.

00:24:50What Nathan said is exactly what I mean.

00:24:52Since the profit margin is so high right now, I'm sure everyone's on board, right?

00:24:55Since Lauren has made the call, why would I refuse?

00:24:58Go on.

00:24:59Drop a new contract.

00:25:00Yes.

00:25:01Ms. Carter, you can't do this.

00:25:02Our cash flow is already tight.

00:25:04This could ruin the company.

00:25:07Leonard, when do sales reps run operations?

00:25:09Just go back to your post.

00:25:10I may not know much about management, but I do know without cash the company is doomed.

00:25:14Ms. Carter, I've worked here for eight years.

00:25:16We don't want to see the company go under.

00:25:18Ms. Carter, you can't let Nathan keep messing around anymore.

00:25:20That's right, Ms. Carter.

00:25:21Nathan's only been here a few months and already turned our department completely upside down.

00:25:24Even drove that word out.

00:25:25You can't let us go on.

00:25:26You can't keep listening to that.

00:25:27Oh, you shut up.

00:25:28Nathan is a Stanford grad with a PhD.

00:25:29His credentials are better than all of yours.

00:25:31Who are you to question him?

00:25:33Say one more word.

00:25:34I'll fire you all.

00:25:35Mr. Foster, the draft is ready.

00:25:37Since you negotiated this deal, you should sign it.

00:25:40All right, I'll sign it.

00:25:42Edward, see this?

00:25:44I can take your client anytime I want.

00:25:46So what?

00:25:47Well, congrats to you.

00:25:48Go ahead.

00:25:49No problem.

00:25:50And not just one client.

00:25:52I can bring over ten more if I want without the company.

00:25:54Who are you now?

00:25:55Edward, I'm giving you one last chance.

00:25:57If you come back, I can still make you a sales manager.

00:26:01I don't really want that chance, Ms. Carter.

00:26:03You really should take a good look at the contract.

00:26:05What's there to look at?

00:26:06Mr. Foster and I haven't partnered for years.

00:26:08You think you'd screw me over?

00:26:09Ms. Carter, I'm telling you, you really should check it.

00:26:12Fine.

00:26:16What the hell?

00:26:17One hundred million?

00:26:19Leonard.

00:26:20Mr. Foster, didn't we agree that it would be for twenty million?

00:26:23Why are you suddenly renewing for that much?

00:26:25It's harder.

00:26:26I remember when we just discussed.

00:26:27Mr. Reed never mentioned any contract limits.

00:26:30Since you're being so generous, of course I want as much as possible.

00:26:32That's right.

00:26:33Who told this idiot to sign the contract without even reading it?

00:26:36A monthly profit is just over ten million.

00:26:39But for this contract, we'll lose over thirty million.

00:26:41Our company's finished.

00:26:42Nathan, our company's cash flow really is only a few tens of millions.

00:26:47If we lose thirty million on this, we're really done for.

00:26:50Come on, think of something.

00:26:51I believe there's always a way.

00:26:52Oh!

00:26:53Got it, Lauren.

00:26:54All right.

00:26:55I trust you.

00:26:56Mr. Foster, let's redo the contract.

00:26:59This one doesn't count.

00:27:00Why does this contract suddenly not count any?

00:27:02Because...

00:27:03I'm just a sales manager.

00:27:05I don't have the authority to sign a contract this big.

00:27:08Sales manager, eh?

00:27:11But why does the banner say,

00:27:13Mr. Reed's sales through that?

00:27:14That's just for show.

00:27:15The process isn't finalized and the appointment hasn't started.

00:27:18I'm still a manager.

00:27:20So you mean,

00:27:21you're giving up the director position and admitting Edward is better.

00:27:25Director Reed, why are you looking at me?

00:27:27Mr. Foster is asking you.

00:27:28Lauren.

00:27:29I'm sorry.

00:27:30I didn't check the contract carefully.

00:27:31I should just leave.

00:27:32Don't stress.

00:27:33No, you're just lacking experience.

00:27:34Doesn't mean you're worse than him.

00:27:35Edward!

00:27:36Can you be a little more generous?

00:27:37Do you have to keep pushing like this?

00:27:38Ms. Carter, so you do know I'm in the right.

00:27:40I thought you'd already let love cloud your judgment.

00:27:42Can't even tell right from wrong anymore.

00:27:43No.

00:27:44No.

00:27:45No.

00:27:46No.

00:27:47No.

00:27:48No.

00:27:49No.

00:27:50No.

00:27:51No.

00:27:52No.

00:27:53No.

00:27:54No.

00:27:56You…

00:27:57Edward, we were married for years.

00:27:59We're happy for you if the company fails?

00:28:00Can we just let this go today?

00:28:03I'll make it right at home, okay?

00:28:04Married?

00:28:05That's already over.

00:28:06Ms. Carter.

00:28:07What's the point of telling me?

00:28:09The person you offended is Mr. Foster.

00:28:10It doesn't matter if I let it go.

00:28:12Are you guys done talking yet?

00:28:15Kid, are you clueless or just pretending?

00:28:18Mr. Foster was giving you a way out.

00:28:20And you didn't even get it.

00:28:21Jeez.

00:28:22Too much pride.

00:28:23Not enough sense.

00:28:24How can he even work in sales?

00:28:25I have no idea what Ms. Carter sees in him.

00:28:26He's no one here as good as Ed.

00:28:28Forget it. Mr. Harris, let's get out of here.

00:28:30Oh, right. Ms. Carter, don't forget to fulfill the contract.

00:28:33I want that $100 million in goods right now.

00:28:36Hey, wait! Nathan was right.

00:28:38He's just a sales manager in our company.

00:28:40He doesn't have the right to sign a $10 million contract.

00:28:42So, this contract is invalid.

00:28:46Ms. Carter, we've worked together for years.

00:28:48I'm not here to take advantage of you.

00:28:50Let's just drop this contract.

00:28:51I just want you to see through this, who's actually valuable, and who's the black sheep.

00:28:57That's right. This rookie is not even worth an intern in my company.

00:29:01I really don't get why you treat him like a treasure.

00:29:04You too. Don't be so harsh.

00:29:06Nathan does have some skills, just last experience.

00:29:08I'll give him some solid training.

00:29:09Make sure all of you are satisfied with him.

00:29:11No need for that. Our two companies won't be partners anymore.

00:29:14As for terminating, talk to your lawyer about it.

00:29:16We're leaving.

00:29:18Hey! Don't go, Mr. Foster!

00:29:20Can we talk this through?

00:29:21Ms. Carter, hello. I'm the attorney representing Mr. Foster.

00:29:24Fifty-six other CEOs in charge of handling your contract terminations.

00:29:26All of them want to terminate?

00:29:27That's the instructions I received, yes.

00:29:29Oh no. It's over. It's all over.

00:29:33Ms. Carter, please finish up my resignation paperwork. I'm in a hurry.

00:29:37Edward, can you help me talk to them? Ask them not to terminate contracts with me.

00:29:43Ms. Carter, I'm just useless. Nathan's the real genius.

00:29:47What's the point of begging me? Go beg your Nathan.

00:29:49Stop right there! Your resignation letter. I'm not approving it.

00:29:53Whatever. Once I submit my resignation, I can leave automatically. In a month.

00:29:58Approve it or not, it's your call.

00:29:59Who do you think you are? You really think this company can't run without you?

00:30:03I don't buy it. I've got Nathan here and so many other employees.

00:30:06You think you're better than all of them?

00:30:07That's right. Don't worry, Lauren. I'm a Stanford PhD. Sales is easy for me.

00:30:11I'll definitely get it done. I'll help you land bigger clients in no time.

00:30:14Well then, let me congratulate. Mr. Reed, I'm Ms. Carter in advance.

00:30:18What are you waiting for? Get the hell back to work!

00:30:25Hey, Kurt. Now that Edward's gone, what are we even doing here?

00:30:30Maybe we should just quit too.

00:30:32Yeah. Working under that idiot would definitely lead us to trouble.

00:30:35How about we all resign together? I want to work with Edward.

00:30:38Yeah, let's all quit together.

00:30:39Let's all quit together.

00:30:40Guys, calm down. No rush to do anything.

00:30:42Edward and Lauren are still married. It's not set in stone.

00:30:45Just wait and see for now. If Edward has any plans coming out, I'm sure he'll reach out to us.

00:30:48Alright?

00:30:51Sorry, Nathan, for putting you through this.

00:30:53Lauren, I'm the one who should apologize.

00:30:55I caused such huge losses.

00:30:57And, Lauren, from now on...

00:30:58No. It's not your fault.

00:31:00It's all on Edward. He insisted on quitting, which left the company without any orders.

00:31:04I honestly have no idea what to do now.

00:31:05Don't worry, Lauren. I've got a plan.

00:31:08Really?

00:31:08Of course. I'm a PhD, remember? Something like this isn't going to stump me.

00:31:13Besides, those 56 CEOs looked pretty intimidating.

00:31:16But honestly, most of them are local guys.

00:31:18So, why don't we just give up on this market and focus on expanding out-of-state?

00:31:21That market's way bigger than Rivermore's.

00:31:23Will that really work?

00:31:25Edward tried to break into other states before, but he never pulled it off.

00:31:28It doesn't mean I can't.

00:31:30Lauren, with my expertise, I can totally handle this.

00:31:33Yeah.

00:31:34And, I've still got an ace on my sleeve.

00:31:36The Morrigans and Northbridge are coming here in a few days to pick a new investment partner.

00:31:40Once we land that investment, we'll be unstoppable.

00:31:43Nice. I'll go back and keep Edward calm. I'll leave the company to you.

00:31:46Okay.

00:31:47Lauren, you're so good to me.

00:31:51Hey.

00:31:52I'm swamped. I'll head out first.

00:31:54Hello?

00:31:59Hey, old friend. Long time to see.

00:32:02Who's this?

00:32:04Claire Morgan?

00:32:05You managed to perform college entrance exams.

00:32:07And only later did I find out you're from the Reaches family, the Morgan family.

00:32:10So, billionaire heiress, what brings you to call me suddenly?

00:32:12Obviously, I heard you're getting divorced, so I reached out.

00:32:21I'm heading out for a hotpot with the guys at lunch. Do me a favor. Finish this for me.

00:32:25No way, I...

00:32:25Cut the crap. If I see any leftovers in it, when I get back, from now on, I'm taking all your Brad Rose.

00:32:38Heard you quit your job. Want to come work with me?

00:32:40My dad handed me a company to run. Problem is, I have no clue how to manage it.

00:32:44The company of the Reaches family, huh? Guess I'll have to think about it.

00:32:48See you tomorrow. I'll text you the address.

00:32:50Alright. See you.

00:32:52Babe, who are you meeting?

00:32:53No one special. Just an old classmate.

00:32:56I packed up your favorite food for you. Come try it. See if you like it.

00:33:02No thanks. I'm not interested in eating his leftovers.

00:33:05Babe, what do you mean?

00:33:08Seriously? Don't check Nathan's social feed.

00:33:16Lani, let me explain. I just saw Nathan having a rough day, so I took him out for dinner to comfort him a bit.

00:33:21But isn't it all about keeping top talent in the company?

00:33:24So during the day, the one you thought was wrong was Nathan Reed.

00:33:27Honey, don't be jealous over nothing. There's really nothing going on between us.

00:33:31Hey, are you heading out?

00:33:33Yeah. These past eight years with you, I've never had a full weekend to myself.

00:33:38Every day was just constant tension meeting steals always on.

00:33:40Now that I finally quit, of course I want to relax a little.

00:33:43Getting out to unwind is always good, honey. Time really flies.

00:33:51In the blank of an eye, we've been married eight years.

00:33:56Lauren Carter, just say it straight.

00:33:58Honey, since when do we stop being able to say sweet things to each other?

00:34:04Maybe you should ask yourself that.

00:34:06Honey, I really know I messed up.

00:34:08I was just thinking about the company. Nathan's a Stanford PhD, a rare talent.

00:34:12I just wanted to keep him on the team.

00:34:14All right, honey. Don't be mad, okay?

00:34:17If you'd said this before, I definitely would have been upset.

00:34:19But now, I'm not angry anymore.

00:34:21When there's no lob laps, what's left to be mad about?

00:34:24Really? Then post online right now.

00:34:26Tell everyone you're not quitting.

00:34:28As long as you help me save the company this time,

00:34:30I'll have a baby with you.

00:34:32Didn't you always say you wanted a kid?

00:34:35Lauren Carter, if you said that a year ago,

00:34:37I would have been really happy and forgiven you.

00:34:40But now, things are different.

00:34:43Nathan, give me a second. I'll be right there.

00:34:46Lauren, my mom's test results just came in.

00:34:48It stopped me cancer.

00:34:49Yeah, I heard, I heard.

00:34:50Lauren, my mom's biggest wish is to hold a grandchild.

00:34:53Can you-

00:34:53Ed, are you done yet?

00:34:55My company's just starting to take off.

00:34:56If your mom wants a child, go find someone else.

00:34:58Why are you coming to me?

00:35:00Lauren, you are my wife.

00:35:02Who else am I supposed to ask?

00:35:03Ask whoever you want. Leave me alone.

00:35:05How is it different now?

00:35:06Because the elderly woman who wanted a grandchild is already gone.

00:35:11Lauren Carter, not everything can be turned into a transaction.

00:35:15What's that supposed to mean?

00:35:16Doesn't mean anything.

00:35:17Lauren Carter, let's get a divorce.

00:35:21What? You want to divorce me?

00:35:24That's right. Divorce.

00:35:26I don't agree. Why do you want to divorce me?

00:35:28You've already signed the divorce papers.

00:35:36Whether you agree or not, after a one month's cooling off period, we'll be officially divorced.

00:35:40I don't believe it. When did I ever sign divorce papers?

00:35:42Now you remember, right?

00:35:45Back then, you were busy comforting your Nathan.

00:35:48You didn't care about anything else.

00:35:50Oh, Edward. Please listen to me.

00:35:51There's really nothing between us.

00:35:53I did everything for the company. Nothing else, I swear.

00:35:55That's your company.

00:35:57Nothing to do with me.

00:35:58You can't say that. We're married.

00:36:00What's mine is yours, isn't it?

00:36:01Lauren Carter, you make us sound so nice.

00:36:03Do you remember when we started our business?

00:36:05What did you say to me?

00:36:06Honey, when the company grows, I'll give you half the shares.

00:36:10Lauren, even if you give me nothing, I'd still help you chase your dreams.

00:36:14It's not that I didn't want to give you. It's bad timing.

00:36:17How about this? I'll give you 5% of the shares, okay?

00:36:19No need.

00:36:25Move.

00:36:25No, I won't.

00:36:26I'm moving out tonight.

00:36:27Edward, are you asking for a divorce because of Nathan?

00:36:30I already explained it to you.

00:36:31He and I are just colleagues. Nothing more.

00:36:33I've never done anything to betray you.

00:36:36Really?

00:36:39Then how do you explain these photos of you secretly dating overseas?

00:36:49Lauren Carter, you kept telling me you went abroad for business trips.

00:36:52Looking back now, those were never for business.

00:36:54Just dates with him all alone.

00:36:56Whenever I suggested we take a trip out to the suburbs, you always said it's a waste.

00:36:59But with Nathan Reed, it was always Maldives or Iceland.

00:37:02You know exactly how to be romantic.

00:37:03You just don't want to be romantic with me.

00:37:05Honey, let me explain.

00:37:06I have never been to any of those places with him.

00:37:08He must have photoshopped them.

00:37:09Don't worry.

00:37:10I'll have a serious talk with him.

00:37:12A serious talk?

00:37:13He's stirring up trouble in our marriage.

00:37:14And all you give is a talk?

00:37:17Maybe he just loves me too much.

00:37:18That's why he's acting like this.

00:37:19Trust me, he won't do anything like that again.

00:37:21You mean you won't date anymore?

00:37:23Or he won't send me any more photos?

00:37:24Of course no dates!

00:37:26Honey, there's absolutely nothing between us.

00:37:29You have to believe me.

00:37:30Don't be mad, okay?

00:37:30Don't try that with me.

00:37:35If you say all those photos are fake, then what about this?

00:37:39How do you explain this?

00:37:39What's this?

00:37:41My payroll card and my bank statement.

00:37:43Over the years, with my salary and commissions combined, it's got to be over a million.

00:37:46The card's always been in your hand.

00:37:48So why is there only $6.59?

00:37:50Because you spent all damn money supporting Nathan Reed.

00:37:53All those luxury goods at couples hotels, romantic restaurants.

00:37:56You two really went all out!

00:37:57No, honey, you've got it all wrong.

00:37:59I spent the money entertaining clients.

00:38:01It had nothing to do with Nathan at all.

00:38:03Oh yeah?

00:38:04Which client?

00:38:05Tell me, I'll go ask them myself.

00:38:08Which client is it?

00:38:09It's the...

00:38:10What?

00:38:11Can't say it out loud?

00:38:12All the major clients, I brought them in.

00:38:14Still want to lie to me?

00:38:15Babe, I just made a stupid mistake.

00:38:18But it was just dinner with him.

00:38:19I didn't do anything else, I swear.

00:38:21Babe, I never betrayed our mayor, not once.

00:38:23You didn't betray me?

00:38:24You think I'm an idiot?

00:38:25All those nights at couples hotels.

00:38:27Were you just sightseeing?

00:38:29Is there really no way to fix this?

00:38:32What if I refuse?

00:38:34Then I'll see you in court.

00:38:35I've already hired a lawyer.

00:38:37Oh, the money you spent on Nathan Reed.

00:38:39I want every cent back.

00:38:40You both better get ready.

00:38:42Otherwise, just wait for the lawsuit.

00:38:43Edward!

00:38:46Edward!

00:38:47I made a mistake, a mistake every woman might make!

00:38:50Do you really have to divorce me over this?

00:38:52Edward!

00:38:53If you walk out that door today, don't ever come back!

00:38:56You'll regret this!

00:38:57The only thing I regret is not seeing your true intention sooner.

00:39:01Edward Quinn!

00:39:02Don't get ahead of yourself!

00:39:03You really think the company can't run without you?

00:39:06Nathan's already found a solution!

00:39:07You'll never measure up to him!

00:39:09In this lifetime!

00:39:19Miss Morgan, Mr. Quinn is here.

00:39:21Edward, long time no see.

00:39:23Long time no see.

00:39:24So, what are you...

00:39:25Well, I got kicked out.

00:39:27So I came to see if you would take me in.

00:39:29Well then, I guess I'll just have to grudgingly take you in.

00:39:32Mary, take Mr. Quinn's things back to my place first.

00:39:34Yes, Miss Morgan.

00:39:36I've never seen her this happy before.

00:39:38Who exactly is this Mr. Quinn?

00:39:40Edward, I'm really happy you're here.

00:39:43You have no idea.

00:39:44My dad handed me a company, but I have no clue how to run it.

00:39:46Or how to bring in clients.

00:39:47But now, with you here, you can help me out.

00:39:49If you ask, how could I say no?

00:39:51That's awesome.

00:39:52From now on, you're my company's general manager.

00:39:55No, no, no.

00:39:56I'm just a regular salesperson.

00:39:57I can't take on that role.

00:39:58Besides, I'm new here.

00:39:59Jumping straight to the top would be hard for people to accept.

00:40:01Hmm.

00:40:02Well then, how about be the sales director?

00:40:04Annual salary, $200,000 plus a 15% commission.

00:40:07Sounds good?

00:40:08Honey, you're just a regular employee, so your salary can't be too high.

00:40:12How about a base salary of $8,000 plus a 5% sales commission?

00:40:16Isn't that a bit much?

00:40:18Not really.

00:40:19That's the going rate for directors these days.

00:40:21Besides, I know your skills are way better than most people out there.

00:40:24So this is what it feels like to have my words reckoned.

00:40:27I accept.

00:40:28Really?

00:40:28That's fantastic.

00:40:29Really?

00:40:33That's fantastic.

00:40:38Alright then, let me show you your place first.

00:40:40Come on.

00:40:41Hey, no rush.

00:40:41Take me to the sales department first.

00:40:43I've heard you're a total workaholic.

00:40:45Your reputation really precedes you.

00:40:46Didn't expect Miss Morgan herself to take notice of a regular sales guy.

00:40:49Uh, yeah.

00:40:51Alright then, I'll take you to the company first.

00:40:53Let's go.

00:40:53Come on, let's get moving.

00:41:01This is the sales department.

00:41:02These are your employees?

00:41:04Honestly, my hands are tied.

00:41:05On my first day as manager, the previous sales director demanded a raise for the whole team.

00:41:09I said no, so he quit.

00:41:10And the rest of them don't take me seriously at all.

00:41:13You know, you just don't have the experience.

00:41:15And you're too soft.

00:41:16That's why they walk all over you.

00:41:17With them, you can't be too gentle.

00:41:18But if they all quit together, we will have no clients.

00:41:22That'd be a disaster.

00:41:22Leave the clients to me.

00:41:24What'd you learn?

00:41:27Wait, what?

00:41:28Why's the Wi-Fi down?

00:41:28Who unplugged the network cable?

00:41:30I did.

00:41:31Who the hell are you to pull my cable?

00:41:33I'm the new sales director.

00:41:35Everyone, put your phones down and get in front of me in five seconds.

00:41:38Otherwise, you're all fired.

00:41:41Who the hell are you to fire us all?

00:41:42Three.

00:41:43Miss Morgan, is this what you want too?

00:41:45Two.

00:41:46Miss Morgan, if you dare fire us, I can guarantee you'll never land another client.

00:41:49One.

00:41:50Perfect.

00:41:51You're all fired.

00:41:53Miss Morgan, call HR over here and process their termination.

00:41:56Edward, don't you think this is a bit much?

00:41:58Miss Morgan, is this the director you board in?

00:42:00Looks like he's nothing but a reckless rookie.

00:42:02Exactly, Miss Morgan.

00:42:03Don't say we didn't warn ya.

00:42:04With this kid running things, the company will be out of business within a month.

00:42:07Relax.

00:42:07I know what I'm doing.

00:42:09You're all fired now.

00:42:10Whether the company goes under is no longer your concern.

00:42:12Miss Morgan, when you kicked me out of the company, you thought you'd bring in some kind of superstar.

00:42:20Didn't expect you to just hire some rookie.

00:42:23Who's he?

00:42:23The former director.

00:42:25Every salesperson here used to work for him.

00:42:27Miss Morgan, don't say I didn't warn you.

00:42:30The Morgan family might be the richest in Northbridge, but you're not the only heir.

00:42:34If, by the end of the month, you can't hit at least a hundred million in sales, your half-brother won't let you off the hook.

00:42:42What does he mean like that?

00:42:43Three months ago, my dad gave me and my brother each our own company.

00:42:46He said whoever had better numbers in three months would become the primary heir.

00:42:51It's already been two months.

00:42:52His numbers are almost a hundred million higher than mine.

00:42:54Why did you tell him sooner?

00:42:55I just don't want to put too much pressure on you.

00:42:58Don't worry, I've got this.

00:43:01You don't need to stress about this company's performance anymore.

00:43:04A hundred million in sales?

00:43:05That's not so hard.

00:43:08Did you hear what this rookie just said?

00:43:10A hundred million?

00:43:10No problem?

00:43:11Back when we had over a dozen people, we barely hit thirty million a month.

00:43:15Where does he get that confidence?

00:43:16If you ask me, he's just a fraud.

00:43:18Don't let him fool you.

00:43:19Your limits aren't mine to share.

00:43:21You might be useless, but I'm not.

00:43:23Man, you sure talk big.

00:43:25In Northbridge, aside from that guy, the one who has been called the sales god,

00:43:29not a single person could single-handedly bring in one hundred million in a month.

00:43:33The sales god?

00:43:34Who's that?

00:43:35You don't even know the sales god?

00:43:36Wow, you really are out of the loop.

00:43:38He took a startup and turned it into an industry leader in just eight years.

00:43:42That's right.

00:43:42And he's even the mentor of Director Bennett.

00:43:45Mm-hmm.

00:43:46Five years ago, I attended one of his lectures.

00:43:49From that moment on, it was like a light bulb went off in my head.

00:43:51Ever since then, my sales career has been smooth sailing.

00:43:54Eight years, from a startup to the industry leader.

00:43:57Are they talking about me?

00:43:59Director Bennett, are you the one who called him the sales god?

00:44:02What are you implying?

00:44:03Got a problem?

00:44:04No, I never said I didn't agree.

00:44:06But have you ever considered, maybe, I am the sales god you keep talking about?

00:44:10Oh, come on, quit bragging.

00:44:12If you're the god, I'll leave this table right now.

00:44:14If you are the god, I'll leave every desk in this office.

00:44:17Well, remember what you said.

00:44:18Don't try to back out later.

00:44:20Miss Morgan, do you believe in me?

00:44:22Since I brought you in, I'm going to trust you completely.

00:44:25Edward, Nathan worked hard to land this deal.

00:44:27Why are you trying to mess it up?

00:44:29Lauren, trust me, this client is a scam artist.

00:44:31I don't want the company to take a loss.

00:44:33Why do you think everyone's a scammer?

00:44:34I think you're just jealous.

00:44:35He's a new hire, but already closed the deal.

00:44:37They asked you to mentor him, not to put him down.

00:44:38So this is how being trusted feels.

00:44:41Since you believe in me, I won't let you down.

00:44:45Right here, right now, I promise.

00:44:47I'll hit 200 million in sales within a month.

00:44:50If I don't, I'll resign on my own.

00:44:53Edward, no need to swear on it.

00:44:55Whether you pull it off or not, I will have your back.

00:44:57Don't worry.

00:44:58If I say I'll do something, you can count on it.

00:45:02Oh, stop bragging.

00:45:03200 million in a month?

00:45:04Do you realize what that means?

00:45:06Miss Morgan, I'm giving you one last chance.

00:45:08Invite me back with some respect.

00:45:10Double the salary for me and my brothers.

00:45:13Then I'll get back to work for you and help you secure the Morgan Group.

00:45:17Inheritance!

00:45:18Just keep dreaming.

00:45:19Miss Morgan, don't let your pride get in the way.

00:45:25Do you really believe this kid can single-handedly bring in 200 million in sales for you?

00:45:31One person pulling off 200 million in a month is honestly a stretch.

00:45:35See?

00:45:35Even he's backing down.

00:45:37Miss Morgan, you should just take Mr. Bennett's offer.

00:45:39Edward, if you can't handle it, it's really okay.

00:45:44Relax.

00:45:45I'm just saying it's tough for one person, but I never said I'd be doing it alone.

00:45:49What?

00:45:50You planning to bring in a whole team?

00:45:52Miss Morgan, I'll need a budget to buy back my entire old team.

00:45:55They are way better than this bunch.

00:45:58Fine.

00:45:58Have it your way.

00:45:59Security!

00:46:01These people are already fired.

00:46:04Get them all out of here.

00:46:06You lousy guard.

00:46:08I'll remember this.

00:46:09Wait till I come back.

00:46:10First thing I'll do is get you fired.

00:46:11Sure.

00:46:11We'll see that if you return, idiot.

00:46:13What?

00:46:14Nick, calm down.

00:46:15Don't stoop to the guards level.

00:46:16Jeez.

00:46:16Nick, what do we do now?

00:46:18I still have mortgage to pay.

00:46:19Yeah.

00:46:20My kid's still in school.

00:46:20No income now.

00:46:21What am I supposed to do?

00:46:22All right.

00:46:23Everyone quiet down.

00:46:24Don't worry, guys.

00:46:25I've still got Lucas backing me up.

00:46:26Lucas Morgan?

00:46:27Isn't that Claire Morgan, our boss's brother?

00:46:29Are you sabotaging Claire's business just to help Lucas win?

00:46:31That's right.

00:46:33Once Lucas takes over Morgan's group, even the scraps from his fingers will be enough for us to live large.

00:46:39From now on, the sales department will follow new rules.

00:46:43Everyone has to clock in every day.

00:46:44If you're on a business trip, you have to upload a photo every half hour.

00:46:47Miss just one, you'll lose half a day's pay.

00:46:49Nathan, you're making things hard for us.

00:46:52A photo every 30 minutes?

00:46:54Who has time for that when swamped?

00:46:55Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:46:56This is just you picking on us.

00:46:57Everyone shut up.

00:46:58Look at you all.

00:46:59Spoiled by Edward.

00:46:59Everyone's slacking off.

00:47:00It's so disgraceful.

00:47:01Since Lauren put me in charge as sales director, I'm going to run a tight ship.

00:47:05One more thing.

00:47:06We're outside.

00:47:06Call me Mr. Reed.

00:47:09Earlier, you called me by my first name.

00:47:11That cost you half a month's pay.

00:47:13Nathan, don't push it too far.

00:47:15It's the second time I'm docking you a month's pay.

00:47:19I quit.

00:47:20Leonard, let's talk this through.

00:47:21Why not on impulse?

00:47:22Hook my ass.

00:47:23He's at the bottom of the sales board.

00:47:24A pretty boy climbing with connections.

00:47:26Where does he get that arrogance?

00:47:27Shut up.

00:47:28Security.

00:47:29Get him out of here.

00:47:30Don't bother.

00:47:30I'll leave myself.

00:47:32Leonard, Leonard.

00:47:33Miss Carter.

00:47:34Leonard's been with us for years.

00:47:35Working hard and dedicated.

00:47:36At the very least, he's winning a grind.

00:47:38Nathan Reed was appointed as sales director by me.

00:47:41If you disrespect him, you're disrespecting me.

00:47:43Got kicked out.

00:47:44He brought it on himself.

00:47:45You.

00:47:46Now, does anyone else have a problem?

00:47:49Good.

00:47:50Next, need to go expand into other regions.

00:47:53Also, travel reimbursements are cut in half.

00:47:55If you miss your targets this month, your base salary gets cut in half.

00:47:58Miss your targets two months in a row, you're fired on the spot.

00:48:06What are you doing?

00:48:07Oh, just compiling our current client data, planning follow-up sales strategies.

00:48:11All right, take a break.

00:48:12Let's go grab some food.

00:48:13By the way, you're coming with me to an industry networking event.

00:48:20No problem.

00:48:28Welcome.

00:48:29What's going on?

00:48:33Leonard, what are you doing here?

00:48:35Edward, who's this?

00:48:37Oh, this is my new boss, Miss Morgan.

00:48:39Nice to meet you.

00:48:40Leonard, how did you end up working security here?

00:48:42Edward, ever since you left, Nathan's been acting out.

00:48:44Just because he's the director, he's not just cut the travel budget, but also requires travelers

00:48:48to send a work photo every half an hour.

00:48:49If you don't, they dock your pay.

00:48:51I couldn't take it anymore, so I argued with him.

00:48:53And then, I got fired.

00:48:55That's just ridiculous.

00:48:56Didn't Lauren do anything?

00:48:56She's completely lost her mind over him.

00:48:58She didn't care.

00:48:59They didn't even help him.

00:49:00If you ask me, that company's finished.

00:49:02Forget it.

00:49:03Whatever he wants.

00:49:04If he wants to mess up, it's his own problem.

00:49:05I'm shorthanded now.

00:49:06Come work for me.

00:49:07I'll double your salary.

00:49:08Uh, are you sure?

00:49:09If Edward says it, you can count on it.

00:49:11Wow, that's amazing.

00:49:12But what about Kurt and the others?

00:49:14Don't worry.

00:49:15Miss Morgan here has got real influence.

00:49:17We'll bring all the guys over and let Nathan Reed run his team solo.

00:49:20Ha!

00:49:20Oh, thank you, Ed.

00:49:21Thank you, Miss Morgan.

00:49:22No need to be so formal.

00:49:23Come on, let's head to the networking event.

00:49:25What's up with this hotel?

00:49:39How come just anyone can walk in?

00:49:42Did a security guard sneak in here?

00:49:43You don't know?

00:49:43This is a networking event hosted by the Reed family.

00:49:45The Reeds represent the Morgans here in Rivermore.

00:49:49No one can match their influence.

00:49:51Unbelievable.

00:49:51Someone is causing trouble here.

00:49:53Wait till Mr. Victor Reed shows up.

00:49:55They're in for it.

00:49:56You hear that?

00:49:57Get out of here while you can.

00:49:59Who's at his security guard?

00:50:00He's wearing the uniform.

00:50:01What else would he be?

00:50:02Don't tell me.

00:50:03You're trying to protect him.

00:50:04Edward, why'd you bring him here?

00:50:06Maybe Victor Reed arrives.

00:50:07Kick him out.

00:50:08There's still time.

00:50:09Lauren Carter.

00:50:10I didn't expect you to be this cold.

00:50:12Leonard has worked hard for years.

00:50:13You just fire him like that?

00:50:14He refused to follow Nathan's management and argue with people in public.

00:50:18Firing him, how is that not justified?

00:50:19So he deserves it, huh?

00:50:21If you ask me, with people like that in our company, no wonder it's going under.

00:50:26Leonard works for me now.

00:50:27He's not a guard.

00:50:28He's an industry professional.

00:50:29Now, does he have the right to attend this event?

00:50:31If he's really in the business, then he's definitely qualified.

00:50:36From what I've heard, you already left Lauren's company.

00:50:40You're basically unemployed now.

00:50:41What employees?

00:50:42That's right, Edward.

00:50:44You're just jobless at this point.

00:50:45What are you doing here?

00:50:46Hurry up and leave.

00:50:47Otherwise, when Victor gets here, you're screwed.

00:50:49He has zero tolerance for nonsense.

00:50:50Lauren Carter, don't tell me I can't find another job after leaving you.

00:50:55It's tough out there right now.

00:50:57And with your education, of course it's not easy for you.

00:50:59Exactly.

00:51:00Even if you did land something in a rush, it'd just be an entry-level sales job.

00:51:03You employees?

00:51:04Next time you lie, try rehearsing it first.

00:51:06Who said Edward can't get a job?

00:51:07You guys are just blind to his talent, but I can see it.

00:51:10And who are you?

00:51:12I'm the CEO of Shine Sun Corporation.

00:51:14Edward is currently the sales director I hired.

00:51:18Edward, so that's why you were in such a rush to divorce me.

00:51:22Turns out you just wanted to be with her.

00:51:23Lauren Carter, you know exactly why we're getting divorced.

00:51:26It has nothing to do with Claire.

00:51:27Oh, nothing.

00:51:28She's practically glued to your side.

00:51:32Lauren, for all we know, they've been hooking up for a while.

00:51:35He's probably cheated more times than I can count.

00:51:37Wow, Edward.

00:51:38I even felt guilty before in trying to make it up to you.

00:51:40Turns out you were cheating all along.

00:51:42How could you do this to me?

00:51:43That's not true.

00:51:44I only reached out to Edward after learning about your divorce.

00:51:46We hadn't spoken before then at all.

00:51:47Edward never cheated on you.

00:51:49What business do you have talking to us right now?

00:51:50Why are you putting in?

00:51:51I...

00:51:51What?

00:51:52Let me make this clear.

00:51:53Edward and I aren't divorced yet.

00:51:55If you try to get between us, you're just a homewrecker.

00:51:57A homewrecker showing up at Victor's party.

00:52:00Don't you have any shame?

00:52:01I heard Victor is super devoted, in love with the same woman for over a decade.

00:52:04Yeah, and he especially hates those homewreckers.

00:52:07Looks like those two are in for it now.

00:52:08Don't listen to him.

00:52:09I'm not a homewrecker, and Edward never cheated.

00:52:11Then why did you bring my husband here, acting so close?

00:52:14You're not cheating?

00:52:16Enough!

00:52:20Hey, little girl.

00:52:21Aren't you scared going home alone?

00:52:22Want me to walk you home?

00:52:23I'm not scared.

00:52:25I don't need you guys.

00:52:26When a woman says no, she really means yes.

00:52:28Hey, man, why don't you walk her home already?

00:52:36Lauren Carter, say whatever you want about me.

00:52:38But don't drag Claire into this.

00:52:39Who's dragging her?

00:52:40You brought her here in front of everyone.

00:52:42If Victor sees this, he'd definitely be pissed off.

00:52:44I heard, at today's conference, he'll represent the Morgans to pick a new investor.

00:52:49That's huge news for every single one of us.

00:52:51Yeah, but the two of them are here.

00:52:54If they upset Victor, and it comes back on us, we're screwed.

00:52:57Exactly.

00:52:59So, before he shows up, get those two out of here.

00:53:04Nathan, Lauren Carter, you really know how to play the victim.

00:53:08The way you double standard everything is honestly unbeatable.

00:53:11Everyone.

00:53:11Our relationships are completely about board.

00:53:13There's nothing improper at all.

00:53:15If you're talking about anyone here cheating for being the other woman, it's actually them.

00:53:20I've got the proof right here, on my phone.

00:53:23Let me take a look.

00:53:25It really is a...

00:53:26I can't believe it's them cheating and being a side piece.

00:53:29Edward, why are you showing our privacy to everyone?

00:53:31So what?

00:53:32You and Nathan can throw accusations about me and Claire with no proof, but when I have evidence, I can't expose your affair with him.

00:53:38How many times do I have to explain?

00:53:39There's nothing between us.

00:53:41Why do you keep bringing up old grudges?

00:53:42I never wanted to put these photos out there, but you started slendering us first.

00:53:45Lauren Carter, I'll say this.

00:53:48You reap what you sow.

00:53:49Everyone, now it's pretty clear who's cheating and who's the homewrecker.

00:53:55So, the ones who should be kicked out are them.

00:54:00Nathan, what do we do?

00:54:01If we can't get the Morgan's investment, we won't last much longer.

00:54:04Think of something fast.

00:54:05Don't worry.

00:54:06As long as I'm here, we're not getting kicked out.

00:54:08Because Victor is my brother.

00:54:10You're his younger brother?

00:54:13Why didn't you tell me before?

00:54:15Because I don't want to rely on my family.

00:54:16I want to take off and shine all on my own.

00:54:19Oh, Nathan, you're amazing.

00:54:21How did I not know Victor had a brother?

00:54:23What did you say?

00:54:24Uh, nothing.

00:54:25I can't believe he's Victor's younger brother.

00:54:28Hello.

00:54:29I'm the CEO of Huawei Group.

00:54:31I look forward to working with you.

00:54:32No problem.

00:54:33My brother will be here any minute.

00:54:35What are you waiting for?

00:54:37Get these two out of here!

00:54:38Did you two not hear that?

00:54:40Get lost!

00:54:41Do you really believe he's Victor's younger brother?

00:54:43Victor will be here soon.

00:54:44Does he have a death wish?

00:54:46Pretending to be his brother?

00:54:48Stop talking and get out.

00:54:49I'm calling security.

00:54:50Yeah, get out of here.

00:54:51Get out of here.

00:54:52Get out!

00:54:53Get out of here!

00:54:55Let's go for now.

00:54:56A wise man knows when to back down.

00:55:00Claire.

00:55:02Edward, don't worry.

00:55:03Victor would never kick me out.

00:55:05Why?

00:55:06Still not leaving.

00:55:07Security, throw these three out.

00:55:10Let go.

00:55:12Claire.

00:55:13Mr. Victor, Reed is here!

00:55:20What are you all doing?

00:55:23Victor, you're here!

00:55:25Who are you?

00:55:26My grandpa's godfather is your great-grandpa's assistant.

00:55:28He was given the surname Reed.

00:55:30We actually met at the memorial ceremony.

00:55:31Don't you remember?

00:55:33Oh, got it.

00:55:33Did I explain anything to be Victor's brother?

00:55:36I knew I made the right choice.

00:55:37Nice to meet you.

00:55:39What's going on here?

00:55:41Those two, one cheated while married, the other is a home record.

00:55:43What a pair of scumbags.

00:55:44Kick them out now.

00:55:45If they can't be loyal to their own partners, how am I supposed to trust them with business?

00:55:49Throw them all out.

00:55:51Blacklist them across Rivermore.

00:55:52Yes, sir.

00:55:53Security, get them out of here.

00:55:54Victor, it's Claire.

00:55:55Help me.

00:55:56Claire.

00:55:58Let go of her.

00:55:59Claire, it really is you.

00:56:02Claire, it's really you.

00:56:03I never thought you'd come.

00:56:05I'm so happy to see you.

00:56:07Edward, are you okay?

00:56:08I'm fine.

00:56:10So, what's going on?

00:56:11I've known Victor for a long time.

00:56:13I had no idea he'd come here.

00:56:15Claire, who is he?

00:56:18This is the Edward I always tell you about.

00:56:20Back when I was missing from my family, he helped me a lot.

00:56:23Claire, so this is the one who owns your heart.

00:56:25I chased after you for ten years, and in the end I still lost.

00:56:29They say he chased a girl for ten years.

00:56:30Could it be Claire?

00:56:33The way he's looking at me, does he see me as a rival in love?

00:56:37Victor Reed.

00:56:39Edward Quinn.

00:56:49Guess I lost.

00:56:50You are stronger than me.

00:56:53Victor, why are you using so much force?

00:56:56Are you okay?

00:56:57I'm fine.

00:56:59I'm hurting too.

00:57:00Oh, right.

00:57:01Sir, Nathan Reed here, claim he's your younger brother.

00:57:04Is that true?

00:57:05Making up fake family ties and throwing his weight around in my name.

00:57:09Feels good, huh?

00:57:10No, Victor, no.

00:57:11Sir, I'm not making anything up.

00:57:13The family tree says, I'm really your younger brother.

00:57:15Our connection.

00:57:16We couldn't be more distant if you tried.

00:57:18If you dare use my name to throw your weight around again,

00:57:20I won't let it slide.

00:57:22Get out.

00:57:23Out!

00:57:23Nathan, what's going on here?

00:57:25I'm in a really bad mood today.

00:57:31Everyone get out.

00:57:32Move it.

00:57:33Hurry up.

00:57:38Victor, isn't today the industry meeting?

00:57:41Why did you kick everyone out?

00:57:42This whole event was set up just for you.

00:57:44It's you and your brother's test.

00:57:45I can't step in directly.

00:57:46I was hoping to find a reliable company,

00:57:48but honestly, these idiots have no vision at all.

00:57:51None of them is worth trusting.

00:57:52Sir, we appreciate your good intentions.

00:57:55As the new sales director at Claire's company,

00:57:57of course, I'll help her with the trial.

00:57:59You?

00:58:00Seriously?

00:58:02Do you have any idea how important this trial is for Claire?

00:58:05All right, Victor.

00:58:06You don't have to say any more.

00:58:08I trust Edward.

00:58:09You honestly have no idea what kind of spell this guy's cast on you.

00:58:13Have you thought about what if you fail?

00:58:15If we fail, we lose everything.

00:58:16Just go back to the way things were before.

00:58:19Besides, I trust Edward.

00:58:21He won't abandon me.

00:58:22Don't worry.

00:58:22I won't fail.

00:58:23And I'll never leave you.

00:58:25I can't with you two.

00:58:26I'm out of here.

00:58:31Edward, so what should we do next?

00:58:35Nathan and Lauren have been throwing their weight around.

00:58:37I'm sure everyone's fed up with them.

00:58:39Perfect timing.

00:58:40I'm short on people right now.

00:58:41Gather everyone up.

00:58:42Let's make it happen.

00:58:43All right.

00:58:44Let's do this.

00:58:45Let's go.

00:58:46Nathan, what the hell is going on?

00:58:51Didn't you say you were Victor's younger brother?

00:58:52He doesn't even know who you are.

00:58:54Lauren, let me explain.

00:58:56I really am his brother, but we're not that close.

00:58:58He just did this today to piss me off.

00:59:00I bet it's because of Edward.

00:59:01What does this have to do with Edward?

00:59:03Rumor has it Edward's new girlfriend is the one Victor has been chasing for.

00:59:07Edward and her are super close, so of course Victor is pissed.

00:59:09He kicked us out today, probably just to teach Edward to listen.

00:59:11Makes sense.

00:59:13No wonder Victor looked at that girl like something was off.

00:59:17Damn you, Edward.

00:59:17Even now you're screwing me over.

00:59:19You're making me lose all on Victor's investment.

00:59:21Lauren, don't worry.

00:59:23I've prepared two backup plans.

00:59:24Even if we can't get the investment, we can still save the company by expanding each other.

00:59:28Miss Cotter.

00:59:29Come in.

00:59:29Miss Cotter.

00:59:32Mr. Reed.

00:59:33The entire SACE team just resigned.

00:59:35What?

00:59:35Here's their resignation letter.

00:59:39Did this happen?

00:59:40They said...

00:59:41Tell me so I can fix this and get back to them.

00:59:44They said as long as Nathan Reed is still here, they're not coming back.

00:59:47What?

00:59:49What?

00:59:50These punks.

00:59:51How could this happen?

00:59:53What are we supposed to do now?

00:59:55Miss Cotter, frankly speaking, if you keep trusting this idiot, our company is going down.

00:59:59Hey, watch your mouth.

01:00:01Say one more word and I'll fire you.

01:00:02Don't need you to fire me.

01:00:03I quit.

01:00:04Miss Cotter, what I just said was my last piece of advice.

01:00:09Am I really wrong about this?

01:00:11Lauren, even you don't believe me now?

01:00:14Your previous employees were all uneducated fools.

01:00:16They can't understand my advanced management methods from a top university overseas.

01:00:20We're better off without them.

01:00:21I'll definitely help you set up a new sales team.

01:00:23Yeah, right.

01:00:24Nathan's a PhD.

01:00:25He must know what he's talking about.

01:00:29No way.

01:00:29Of course I believe you.

01:00:31Just go ahead.

01:00:32Okay.

01:00:32I booked a private room at the Garden Bistro.

01:00:34Let's go together.

01:00:35I have a surprise for you.

01:00:35All right?

01:00:36Come on.

01:00:37Let's all raise a glass to Miss Morgan.

01:00:39No need to be so formal.

01:00:41I believe with Mr. Quinn leading us, our company is sure to thrive.

01:00:45Cheers.

01:00:45To Miss Morgan.

01:00:46To Miss Morgan.

01:00:47Cheers.

01:00:48Cheers.

01:00:50Just enjoy yourselves.

01:00:53Edward.

01:00:54It's really you who stole my employees.

01:00:56Are you seriously trying to ruin me?

01:00:57Miss Carter, that's not fair the way you put it.

01:01:01We were forced out by this idiot.

01:01:03What's that got to do with Edward?

01:01:04Exactly.

01:01:05He doesn't know a thing.

01:01:06That loves the boss people around.

01:01:07The rules he sets never take the staff into account.

01:01:09No decent person can work on it.

01:01:11You're talking nonsense.

01:01:12You don't get my advanced style.

01:01:14Because your education actually won't allow it.

01:01:16So, dear Dr. Reed, how did you manage to run off all your own subordinates?

01:01:21So, are you planning to chase clients yourself?

01:01:24With him, he stole so many of our clients, but he's still dead last.

01:01:28Honestly, the guy's just useless.

01:01:30Believing he can bring in business is like believing the sun will rise in the west.

01:01:36Nathan, are you okay?

01:01:37You guys are way out of line.

01:01:39Mr. Reed, there you are.

01:01:41Director Bennett, you finally made it.

01:01:43Nathan, these people are...

01:01:45Director Bennett, the surprise I told you about.

01:01:49It's a surprise.

01:01:51What do you mean?

01:01:52Director Bennett is pretty famous in the industry.

01:01:54He's actually the protege of the Sales God.

01:01:56He and his team, they're the new sales team I built for you.

01:01:59Sales God?

01:02:01Do you even know who the Sales God is?

01:02:03No idea.

01:02:04Never heard of that title.

01:02:06Well, it's true.

01:02:07He single-handedly keeps a company going.

01:02:09In just eight years, he turned a startup into an industry leader.

01:02:13A legend like that totally deserves the title of Sales God, right?

01:02:18Hey, not to brag, but I'm actually his protege.

01:02:22Why does the way he describes his God sound like Edward?

01:02:25Honestly, it does.

01:02:26So you must have had a high position at your last company, right?

01:02:29Nathan, how did you manage to recruit him?

01:02:31Of course.

01:02:32It took some work.

01:02:34Why are you laughing?

01:02:36You're treating a team I just fired.

01:02:37Like they're some kind of treasure.

01:02:41Fired?

01:02:42What's going on?

01:02:43Uh, Lauren, I've heard about this.

01:02:45Edward was just jealous of Mr. Bennett's talent.

01:02:48That's why he fired him.

01:02:49Yeah, exactly.

01:02:49That's what happened.

01:02:50Edward, I never thought you were like this.

01:02:52Even in my company, you were jealous of Nathan.

01:02:55Now you're doing the same thing.

01:02:56Miss Morgan, I hope you'll think twice before working with him.

01:02:59My company's business is none of your concern.

01:03:03Besides, I trust Edward.

01:03:06Some people just can't take honest advice.

01:03:08Director Bennett, Nathan, let's go.

01:03:09Hold on.

01:03:11There's still half a month left in our cooling off period.

01:03:13I hope I'll see you at the courthouse then.

01:03:15Fine, let's break up.

01:03:16But when my company gets huge, don't keep crawling back.

01:03:19With those two hidden talents, your company is really blessed.

01:03:23Oh, by the way, make sure all the money you spent on Nathan is ready.

01:03:28That's marital property.

01:03:29And don't forget, it'll need to be split.

01:03:31Let's go.

01:03:32Not even gonna bother?

01:03:33Let's go, Mr. Bennett.

01:03:34Try another place.

01:03:35What now?

01:03:36Drink.

01:03:37Come on, come on, come on, come on.

01:03:38Let's raise the glass to Edward and to Claire.

01:03:51Edward, thank you.

01:03:52In just half a month, my company's put in nearly 200 million.

01:03:55That's enough for me to win this match.

01:03:57Well, what can I say?

01:03:59I'm your employee after all.

01:04:00Just an employee, huh?

01:04:02What?

01:04:04But the numbers aren't stable yet.

01:04:06There's still 10 days left before the deadline.

01:04:08Your brother might use your family's influence and could easily catch up.

01:04:11You don't have to worry about that.

01:04:12The rules say no one's allowed to use family connections.

01:04:15Claire, you're just too naive.

01:04:17Not everyone follows the rules, especially when there's so much at stake.

01:04:20But don't worry, I'll help you.

01:04:22Hmm.

01:04:23Edward, I believe in you.

01:04:27So you're saying my sister's performance has surpassed mine?

01:04:34You're saying my younger sister has out before me.

01:04:38Yes, Mr. Morgan.

01:04:39Nick, this is all you're doing?

01:04:41Please give me a break.

01:04:42Nick, I was just doing my job just fine.

01:04:45Who would have thought that Claire would find some new sales director and kick me out?

01:04:49It's got nothing to do with me.

01:04:50What am I supposed to do?

01:04:52Mr. Morgan, we can't blame Nick entirely for this.

01:04:54As a new director, you should blame.

01:04:55He's just too good.

01:04:56I couldn't handle it here.

01:05:01And I can't point fingers there.

01:05:03Huh?

01:05:03Handing Claire all those billions in ass.

01:05:06And it's you, Terry.

01:05:0620 years ago, you just didn't drown that little brat for me.

01:05:09Please calm down.

01:05:10It was my fault 20 years ago.

01:05:11I didn't expect her to be so lucky.

01:05:12Someone saved her after I threw her in the water.

01:05:14But the way things have turned out now, it's not like there's nothing we can do.

01:05:17So tell me, what can we do?

01:05:19How my grandfather left me was this tiny company.

01:05:21What choice do I have?

01:05:23Mr. Morgan, that's not quite right.

01:05:24With your status and position, even without relying on a family's influence, who would dare

01:05:28not to listen to you?

01:05:30But my grandfather won't let me reveal my identity.

01:05:32His intention is not to let you expose your identity yourself, but if someone else finds

01:05:36out about you through other channels.

01:05:38Oh, I did it now.

01:05:43Edward, bad news.

01:05:44All the clients we had deals with, they're all trying to back out.

01:05:47Oh, Edward, why aren't you anxious?

01:05:50Every client has canceled on the contracts.

01:05:51My client's canceled too.

01:05:53Mine did as well.

01:05:53Mine did too.

01:05:54Mine did too.

01:05:56Schedule meetings with your clients now.

01:06:06What happened?

01:06:07What's going on?

01:06:08It's nothing.

01:06:09All the clients have canceled their contracts.

01:06:11What?

01:06:11They're all pulled out?

01:06:13So what do we do now?

01:06:14Relax.

01:06:15It's not a big deal.

01:06:16I saw this coming.

01:06:18Remember what I told you back in the office?

01:06:22You said my brother used our family's influence.

01:06:25I'm going to see my grandpa.

01:06:26Don't rush.

01:06:27He's not stupid.

01:06:28He definitely won't break the rules openly.

01:06:30But behind the scenes, he's letting his people drop hints that he's a Morgan.

01:06:33In all of Rivermore, who would dare go against him?

01:06:36So what do we do now?

01:06:37Since I expected this, I already got a plan.

01:06:42Look.

01:06:42Here comes the game changer.

01:06:44Hello?

01:06:48Mr. Foster?

01:06:49Edward, it's something else.

01:06:50That Nick Bennett, he really did come to see me.

01:06:52He said you have fun of the Morgan family.

01:06:54Anyone who works with you is basically going against the Morgans.

01:06:57But Edward, don't worry.

01:06:57You know me.

01:06:58I'm the man of my word.

01:06:59There's no way I'm amending the contract.

01:07:00No.

01:07:01Turn it.

01:07:02What?

01:07:02Relax.

01:07:02Claire, seven more days, and you'll become the heir to the richest family.

01:07:08I don't care about being some billionaire.

01:07:11The only thing I care-

01:07:12Hello?

01:07:14Edward, don't be late for our divorce appointment tomorrow morning.

01:07:18I've waited so long for this day.

01:07:23Edward, let me go with you tomorrow.

01:07:26Alright.

01:07:27Oh, Edward, I heard your company's been losing a ton of clients lately.

01:07:35Hurts, doesn't it?

01:07:37You all know exactly how that feels, do you?

01:07:39You-

01:07:42I admit, before, I did lose a small round to you.

01:07:49But there's an old saying, winning first doesn't count, winning last is what matters right now.

01:07:54You're bound to lose.

01:07:56Whether I've lost or not, it's not up to you.

01:07:59Alright, Edward.

01:08:00Stop being so stubborn.

01:08:01You've already failed.

01:08:02In this woman's eyes, you're no use to her anymore.

01:08:05She's going to dump you sooner or later.

01:08:06I'll give you one more chance.

01:08:09As long as you accept Nathan, I won't go through the divorce.

01:08:13Oh, you really have no shame.

01:08:16Let me tell you.

01:08:17I'll never abandon everything, so just give up already.

01:08:20You-

01:08:23You really are going to say yes?

01:08:30What?

01:08:31You don't trust me that much?

01:08:32No, I just-

01:08:33It's okay.

01:08:35I don't need this chance.

01:08:36Let's go.

01:08:37Let's get divorced.

01:08:37Oh, by the way, I did the math.

01:08:50During our marriage, you spent a total of one and a half a million on Nathan.

01:08:53I've already hired a lawyer to file a lawsuit.

01:08:55If you don't pay it back within a week, let's wait for the court to enforce it.

01:08:59Let's go.

01:09:00Here's to celebrating your divorce and return to single life.

01:09:10Cheers.

01:09:17Now that I'm single again, are you happy?

01:09:19Happy?

01:09:19Of course I'm happy.

01:09:20I were-

01:09:21Did you know ever since a long, long time ago?

01:09:24I've already had feelings for you.

01:09:26Claire, you're drunk.

01:09:28I've liked you for a long time.

01:09:43Claire, you're drunk.

01:09:44Let me help you get some rest.

01:09:55Edward.

01:09:57Don't go.

01:09:58Edward.

01:10:20Edward.

01:10:20Please don't leave me again, okay?

01:10:23Yes.

01:10:24Relax.

01:10:27How could I ever leave you?

01:10:29Let's have breakfast.

01:10:40Edward.

01:10:41Don't stress yourself out too much.

01:10:42Even if I lose today, and don't inherit the family business, I won't blame you.

01:10:46It's enough just to have you with me.

01:10:48Let's go.

01:10:49Well, well, didn't you two already go bankrupt?

01:10:51What are you doing here?

01:10:52Edward, this isn't a place for you.

01:10:54Leave now.

01:10:55When Mr. Morgan gets here, I won't be able to protect you.

01:10:57Then why don't you tell me?

01:10:58What kind of place it is?

01:10:59Why shouldn't I be here?

01:11:00Edward Quinn, don't push your luck.

01:11:02Today, the Morgan family is about to announce they are here.

01:11:05They'll shake up the entire business world.

01:11:07All the top tycoons are fighting tooth and nail to get in.

01:11:09It took us ages to get our invitation.

01:11:11You're about to go bankrupt.

01:11:12How could you have a ticket?

01:11:14How we got in is none of your business.

01:11:17Let's just go.

01:11:17Stop right there.

01:11:17This is Morgan territory for you to run wild.

01:11:21Security!

01:11:23Is there a problem, sir?

01:11:24Kick these two out.

01:11:25They don't have tickets and they have no business being here.

01:11:27Excuse me, do you have invitations?

01:11:30Excuse me, do I need an invitation?

01:11:33Miss Morgan.

01:11:34Miss Morgan?

01:11:35You're Miss Morgan?

01:11:37Of course.

01:11:38This is our one and only Miss Morgan.

01:11:40Miss Morgan, need me to throw these two who disrespected you?

01:11:43No need.

01:11:44Let them go in and see the world.

01:11:45By the way, that money you owe Edward,

01:11:48if you still can't pay it back today,

01:11:50both of you are going to jail.

01:12:12Oh, wow.

01:12:13Isn't this Miss Morgan and Mr. Quinn who kicked me out of the company a month ago?

01:12:18Long time no see.

01:12:20Let me take a look at your performance this month.

01:12:24Zero, huh?

01:12:25Wow, impressive.

01:12:27So impressive.

01:12:27Ha ha ha, amazing.

01:12:28They're both from the Morium family.

01:12:30So why is there such a big gap?

01:12:31I never imagined someone could go an entire month without closing a single deal.

01:12:35And for that, we really have to thank Mr. Quinn.

01:12:39I heard that a month ago, someone was bragging to me saying they'd hit 200 million in just one month.

01:12:46Ha, bold of you.

01:12:48Now the results are pretty obvious.

01:12:50The heir to the Morgan fortune will definitely be Lucas Morgan.

01:12:55Keep it low-key.

01:12:58After all, my grandpa hasn't made his announcement.

01:13:01Oh, Claire.

01:13:03I get that you wanted to come back, but why are you competing with me for the heir spot?

01:13:07You're Miss Morgan?

01:13:08Edward Quinn is just a paper tiger.

01:13:10Now Mr. Morgan's got his eyes on him.

01:13:11He's in for a rough time.

01:13:12Good thing you divorced him.

01:13:13Otherwise, you'd be dragged into this mess too.

01:13:15But the final outcome isn't set yet.

01:13:17Lucas Morgan, you're celebrating a little too early, aren't you?

01:13:21Less than 20 minutes left.

01:13:23Claire Morgan, are you saying you're going to beat my sales in 20 minutes?

01:13:28Huh?

01:13:29Why not?

01:13:30Who are you?

01:13:32Mr. Morgan, he's the sales director at Claire's company, Edward Quinn.

01:13:37Sales director?

01:13:39I don't dare you talk to me.

01:13:40Somebody, smack!

01:13:41Let me tell you, Edward isn't just my company's sales director.

01:13:47He's also my boyfriend.

01:13:48Let's see who dares lay a finger on him.

01:13:51Boyfriend?

01:13:53Claire Morgan, did you forget?

01:13:55If you lose today, you have to marry the disabled heir of the Shaws.

01:13:59Boyfriend?

01:14:00You deserve to have one!

01:14:02You!

01:14:05As long as Claire passes this test and becomes the heir,

01:14:08Dan, there's no need for that.

01:14:11Ha!

01:14:12Edward Quinn, what gives you the confidence?

01:14:14Less than 15 minutes left.

01:14:15Zero versus 300 million.

01:14:17Can you flip the game?

01:14:18With what, huh?

01:14:19Sir Morgan is here!

01:14:29Greetings, Sir Morgan!

01:14:31Today, right here, I ask everyone to witness this.

01:14:34I officially announce the next heir of the Morgan family.

01:14:36Hold on, Sir Morgan.

01:14:38It's not time yet.

01:14:39Things aren't hopeless yet.

01:14:41How dare you!

01:14:41Sir Morgan is right here!

01:14:43You still have the nerve to brag and lie?

01:14:44Are you tired of living?

01:14:45Edward, you don't seriously think,

01:14:48with such a huge gap and less than 10 minutes left,

01:14:50you can pull off and come back?

01:14:51Why not?

01:14:52Young man, what's your relationship with Claire?

01:14:55I'm her company's sales director,

01:14:57and also her boyfriend.

01:14:58All right, all right.

01:14:59Grandpa, please announce it.

01:15:00There's 10 minutes left.

01:15:01Not even the miracle returns.

01:15:02Now I announce.

01:15:04The next heir of the Morgan family.

01:15:05Wait a second.

01:15:06If not even the miracle could do this,

01:15:07let me give it a try.

01:15:09Mr. Foster, you can come in now.

01:15:16Time's almost up.

01:15:17And you're still calling for backup?

01:15:18Only a few minutes left.

01:15:20Who could possibly help you?

01:15:22Just wait a moment.

01:15:22You'll see a suing out.

01:15:23Edward, stop being stubborn.

01:15:24Just admit defeat.

01:15:26Maybe it really makes Sir Morgan angry.

01:15:27No one will be able to save you.

01:15:29Punk, got any last marks?

01:15:30Say him now.

01:15:31You don't have much time left.

01:15:33Lucas, the one who needs to leave a well

01:15:35might just be you.

01:15:36You.

01:15:44The Foster family.

01:15:45The Harris family.

01:15:46And the other families of Rivermore.

01:15:47Greetings, Sir Morgan.

01:15:51Greetings, Sir Morgan.

01:15:52Everyone stand up.

01:15:54And you are all from the local families.

01:15:56Why have you come here?

01:15:57Sir Morgan, we're here today

01:15:59just to deliver a contract

01:16:01to Miss Morgan.

01:16:02Mr. Foster,

01:16:03didn't you say

01:16:03you could be all the orders

01:16:05for the next 15 days?

01:16:06When did I ever say

01:16:07I'd give you that?

01:16:08The agreement I signed with you

01:16:09was just a letter of intent.

01:16:11What we're signing now

01:16:11is a real contract.

01:16:12You.

01:16:13You didn't mess with me?

01:16:15Wait, no.

01:16:15Are you trying to play Mr. Morgan?

01:16:17Do you know what will happen?

01:16:18Of course I do.

01:16:19The outcome is that

01:16:20Miss Morgan

01:16:21will become the heir.

01:16:23You.

01:16:24Welcome.

01:16:25And we

01:16:25are all loyal to Miss Morgan.

01:16:27Greetings, Miss Morgan.

01:16:28No need for the melodies.

01:16:31So this is the backup plan?

01:16:34Fine, fine, fine.

01:16:36I really want to see

01:16:37how you're going to turn this around.

01:16:41Miss Morgan.

01:16:42I'm going to sign here.

01:16:43Possible.

01:17:06No way.

01:17:07How could I possibly lose?

01:17:08Now I announce, the next heir of the Morgan family is Claire Morgan

01:17:12He turned the tide and held up the falling company

01:17:19The kids got talent, he's a good match for Claire

01:17:21Sir Morgan, you flatter me

01:17:22No way, there's no way I could lose

01:17:25Grandpa, I'm your real grandson, how could you give the fortune to a woman?

01:17:29What about a woman?

01:17:30She's part of the Morgans too, refusing to admit defeat

01:17:32Do you have no shame? Step back

01:17:34No, I won't step back, I can't lose

01:17:38Mr. Morgan, you lost, face the facts

01:17:42Bullshit!

01:17:44If you hadn't failed to get rid of her 20 years ago, would I have lost?

01:17:48Watch your words

01:17:48Watch my ass! I've been planning this for years, so why did I lose?

01:17:53Tell me, what exactly have you done?

01:17:58Speak, what's really going on here?

01:18:00Sir Morgan, 20 years ago, Mr. Morgan ordered me to throw Ms. Morgan into the river

01:18:03But I couldn't do it, I left her at someone's sword step, so she could live

01:18:06Claire, is what he said true?

01:18:09My adoptive parents, they did find me at their front door

01:18:11You ungrateful brat, security!

01:18:15Take him away, punish him severely

01:18:16So he'll never be able to hurt anyone again

01:18:19And the rest of you, confess now

01:18:21How many terrible things have you helped them do?

01:18:23If you do, I will give you a way out, otherwise...

01:18:26Sir Morgan, please have mercy, I'll tell you everything, just spare me

01:18:31A bunch of crooks, send them all to the police station

01:18:35Let them run in jail

01:18:37Sir Morgan!

01:18:39And everyone else here, turn yourselves in before it's too late

01:18:42Otherwise, if I find out myself, things won't be so simple

01:18:45Let's go

01:18:48Clear, these years, you've been through a lot

01:18:55With your love, I don't suffer at all

01:18:57This young man is not bad

01:18:58When we get back, I'll have someone pick a date and get your wedding arranged

01:19:01Thank you, Sir Morgan

01:19:02Still calling me that?

01:19:05Oh, thank you, Grandpa

01:19:07Edward, I really know I was wrong

01:19:15Can you forgive me this one time?

01:19:17No, I can't

01:19:18Lauren Carter, it's not that you realize you're wrong

01:19:20It's that you know your company is about to fail

01:19:22Edward, think about the eight years we've shared

01:19:24Are you really that heartless?

01:19:26You are a heartless one, not me

01:19:28So you're just jealous?

01:19:30Edward, I swear

01:19:31There's absolutely nothing going on between me and Nathan

01:19:34I never cheated on you

01:19:35Please believe me

01:19:36So emotional cheating doesn't count?

01:19:39Lauren, a relationship needs both people to work at it

01:19:42When something's broken, it can be fixed

01:19:43Take care of yourself

01:19:44Let's go

01:19:45Edward!

01:19:51Lauren, don't be sad

01:19:52You still have me

01:19:53Get out of here!

01:19:54I don't work for you

01:19:55How could I have ended up divorcing him?

01:19:57How did I not realize that you're just an idiot?

01:19:59Bitch!

01:20:00You threw yourself at me

01:20:01And now you're calling me an idiot?

01:20:04After you hit me

01:20:05So what if I hit you?

01:20:06Edward left you and your company's gone bankrupt

01:20:08I'm all you've got left

01:20:09Do you get that?

01:20:10I've had enough of you

01:20:11Come on!

01:20:12Bitch!

01:20:14Mother!

01:20:22Call the cops!

01:20:23Hurry, hurry!

01:20:24Hurry!

01:20:25Nathan, you're suspected of intentional assault

01:20:28And illegal possession of property

01:20:29You need to come with me

01:20:30I didn't do it!

01:20:30I did it!

01:20:31Miss Morgan, you're really lucky

01:20:38Every time you come for a checkup

01:20:39Your husband's always by your side

01:20:41What exactly happened to her?

01:20:49I heard that eight months ago

01:20:51She fought with her boyfriend

01:20:52Got pushed and hit her head

01:20:53Now she's in a coma

01:20:54They said she might never wake up again

01:20:56Her boyfriend, I heard

01:20:57Got sentenced to life

01:20:58Still looking?

01:21:02Keep staring and you can go be with her
