00:00:01Chloe, just tanking Ethan's grades isn't enough.

00:00:05Professor Jang is a top-tier tech mogul in the country.

00:00:08Ethan wants to be his grad student.

00:00:10You can't let that happen.

00:00:16Have you seen his grades this term?

00:00:18He's always at the bottom.

00:00:20No way he gets into Professor Jang's program.

00:00:23Chloe, you have no idea.

00:00:25He's actually brilliant.

00:00:26Once he...

00:00:27Whatever.

00:00:27Even if he aces it, which school he goes to, whose program he joins?

00:00:32I decide all that.

00:00:35Hey Sean, the way Ethan worships Chloe.

00:00:38I bet if she told him to drop out right now, he'd do it in a heartbeat.

00:00:42Totally.

00:00:43Everyone saw him trailing after Chloe like a lost puppy.

00:00:46Now his grades went from first to dead last.

00:00:49A guy like him.

00:00:51Never been with a woman.

00:00:52Chloe just bats her eyes and he'd do anything.

00:00:55Gotta say, Sean's plan is genius.

00:00:58Sean, what if Ethan finds out this is all your revenge?

00:01:01He'll lose it.

00:01:03So what?

00:01:04Once I'm in Professor Jang's program, I'll have a huge backer in tech.

00:01:08That spot is mine.

00:01:10But I really want to see his face when he finds out the truth.

00:01:13It'll be priceless.

00:01:22Sean, the opportunity to be with a great beauty like Chloe was something you handed to me yourself.

00:01:29This past year, playing along was fun.

00:01:31But my future's on the line.

00:01:35Professor Jang's sought as mine.

00:01:37As for you guys, I'm out.

00:01:42I've known since I was a kid that I poured all my skill points into studying.

00:01:46Texts that took others ages to memorize, I could recite backwards after one glance.

00:01:50I got concepts in a snap.

00:01:52Unfortunately, I was born into a messed up family.

00:01:57My mom married an alcoholic stepfather.

00:02:00And had his precious daughter.

00:02:02Ethan!

00:02:10Tests!

00:02:12All you ever do is study.

00:02:14I'll show you.

00:02:19Didn't I tell you to get a job to help out with the bills?

00:02:23I just got back from my shift.

00:02:26Sweetie, come on.

00:02:27Let's get you into your new clothes and shoes and mommy will take you out.

00:02:31Okay.

00:02:35One year.

00:02:37Just one more year of enduring this.

00:02:40And I can leave this hell hole.

00:02:42But just then, Chloe showed up out of the blue.

00:02:55Excuse me, are you okay?

00:02:57I'm sorry.

00:02:58My bike.

00:02:59Something's wrong with it.

00:03:00The brakes failed.

00:03:05You okay?

00:03:12This was the first time I met Chloe Jo.

00:03:14Even I could tell that Chloe was up to something.

00:03:18But so what?

00:03:19My first 21 years were drab, pretty bleak.

00:03:23Just my stepfather's fists, my mother's schemes, and the endless grind of studying.

00:03:48Chloe would never have noticed on her own someone like me.

00:03:51Do you need me to take you to the infirmary?

00:03:54In books, you'll find a house of gold.

00:03:57In books, you'll find a jade-like beauty.

00:03:59The house of gold, I'll get that myself.

00:04:02Sean, as for the jade-like beauty you handed to me yourself, I'm keeping her.

00:04:07All right, thanks.

00:04:16After that, I happily savored every single one of Chloe's chance encounters.

00:04:26I knew it was all a trap dripping with honey, but I savored every last drop.

00:04:32She spent more and more effort on me.

00:04:35She stopped for me longer and longer.

00:04:38I knew.

00:04:39Their long-awaited moment was finally here.

00:04:45Come into my world and be a slacker with me, okay?

00:04:53Fine, I'll play along.

00:05:05I pretended not to see her, my obvious disdain.

00:05:09Because all I ever wanted was to keep her for just a little while to brighten up my bleak reality.

00:05:15I figured she'd end this little revenge game soon enough.

00:05:21Dump me in public to get revenge for her childhood friend, or maybe she wanted to drag it out.

00:05:27Let me fall deeper and deeper before putting an end to it.

00:05:31But what I never saw coming.

00:05:38Was that Sean sent this jade-like beauty to come into my life.

00:05:42With the intention of smashing my house of gold to pieces.

00:05:53Why did you come out with me if you were just going to study?

00:05:56Well...

00:05:57Then I won't study.

00:05:59I feel like there's just too big of a gap between us.

00:06:02I hate it.

00:06:07So what do you want?

00:06:09Ethan, slack off with me, okay?

00:06:13Don't go to grad school.

00:06:15Let's stay together forever.

00:06:17In that moment, I fought like hell to hide the wild joy in my heart.

00:06:21Sean!

00:06:22So this is what you were after.

00:06:24So...

00:06:24So this is what you want?

00:06:26Yes, Ethan, promise me, okay?

00:06:29So, Sean still won't give up, huh?

00:06:31Before, he tried to force me with violence, but that didn't work.

00:06:35Now he's switched to a honey trap.

00:06:43What do you want?

00:06:44Think you're tough, huh?

00:06:46You just got here and already got first place.

00:06:50This time, I'm gonna teach you a lesson.

00:06:53You hear me?

00:06:54Aren't you afraid that I'll report you to the teacher?

00:06:57Tell the teacher?

00:06:59My dad is the principal of Riverside University.

00:07:01How are you gonna tell on me?

00:07:05Let's go.

00:07:11What a shame.

00:07:13Even the principal can't control my grades.

00:07:16For the next mock exam, I'll still be number one.

00:07:20All right, settle down.

00:07:22This time, the top scorer in our class's mock exam...

00:07:29...is Ethan.

00:07:36You asking for a beating?

00:07:38Hit me!

00:07:40Sean, a wise man waits for his moment.

00:07:43All these years of grievances, I'll make you pay for it all with interest.

00:07:48What are you thinking about?

00:07:50If you don't agree to this, then you don't really like me.

00:07:53Don't go.

00:07:55I'll do it, but...

00:08:02Kiss me.

00:08:04What?

00:08:05I know Chloe...

00:08:07...could never really like me.

00:08:09Before this, I couldn't make any bold moves either.

00:08:12Afraid she'd rebel and call off this game.

00:08:14But now, she wants me to give up my future.

00:08:18So for her to make a trade is also fair and necessary, isn't it?

00:08:22What? Not willing?

00:08:23Then I'm going back to study.

00:08:39Ethan Chen.

00:08:40Heaven really is looking out for you.

00:08:44For this exam, you aced the grad school entrance mock exam.

00:08:50Sean Zhang.

00:08:51Whoa, Sean, you're a legend!

00:08:57Thank you, sir.

00:09:05Ethan Chen.

00:09:07You've been nodding off in class every day lately.

00:09:10And got caught skipping class multiple times.

00:09:13What the heck is going on with you?

00:09:15Looks like Ethan really got totally ruined by Chloe.

00:09:17Of course.

00:09:18Chloe drags him out every single day.

00:09:19Clubbing, ditching class, hitting up bars.

00:09:21The bar they go to is owned by my cousin.

00:09:23My cousin told me they're out partying almost every night.

00:09:26Stop talking.

00:09:27After school, write me a written apology.

00:09:30Understood?

00:09:31Understood.

00:09:44Chloe, since I've already ended up in last place, what kind of reward do I get from you?

00:09:54Ethan, where are you going?

00:09:57You're in a really good mood today.

00:10:00My piano rehearsal went off without a hitch.

00:10:02I'm thrilled.

00:10:04The piano rehearsal is next Wednesday.

00:10:06You're happy because you helped your childhood friend mess up my grades, right?

00:10:11Well, congratulations.

00:10:14But...

00:10:14I still have to write that written apology.

00:10:17Huh?

00:10:18Don't be so upset.

00:10:20Let me cheer you up a bit.

00:10:24Today is my 21st birthday.

00:10:26Can you celebrate with me?

00:10:27Okay.

00:10:31Everyone should get the life they want.

00:10:34Happy birthday.

00:10:42I, Ethan Chen, starting on my 21st birthday, will once again live toward the sun.

00:10:49They say that after a man's first intimate experience with a woman, he gets a taste for it and always

00:10:55wants more.

00:10:55But I've learned from experience that it's actually women.

00:10:59Who are.

00:11:01More likely to get hooked on the first man they're with.

00:11:04Once they're hooked.

00:11:07They usually call him.

00:11:09The one that got away.

00:11:19Physical closeness can break down barriers.

00:11:22Just like that.

00:11:24Chloe didn't even realize she'd stopped avoiding our physical contact.

00:11:29Nor did she realize.

00:11:30That the bond between us had already gone way beyond anything she had with Sean.

00:11:36But...

00:11:37Sean being a guy picked up on it right away.

00:11:40That subtle shift.

00:11:43What's your problem?

00:11:45Changing in front of a girl, just like that?

00:11:47It's not like you haven't seen me before.

00:11:50Anyway, I've got a nail appointment.

00:11:52Gotta run. Let's grab dinner after you're done.

00:11:56Okay.

00:12:01Ethan.

00:12:02You and Chloe are pretty lovey-dovey.

00:12:04Attached at the hip, every single day.

00:12:07Don't you get sick of it?

00:12:08Spending time with the one you love, doing what you love.

00:12:11Why would I ever get tired of that?

00:12:16Plus, if I'm not spending my time with my girlfriend, what else am I supposed to do?

00:12:21Study?

00:12:22Prep for grad school?

00:12:25Her or your grades.

00:12:27Sean.

00:12:28You can only pick one.

00:12:30Ethan, one day I'll wipe that smile right off your face.

00:12:36Sean's face wasn't just angry.

00:12:38There was something else.

00:12:40A smug confidence in his little scheme.

00:12:45Today...

00:12:46Must be the day Sean planned...

00:12:48To wipe the smile off my face.

00:12:50The very day he promised.

00:13:03Chloe.

00:13:04It's been so long since we've hung out.

00:13:06Once Ethan turns in his applications, you dump him the second he does.

00:13:10We already agreed on this.

00:13:12After we ruin Ethan, we'll...

00:13:16Chloe.

00:13:18You're avoiding me.

00:13:19Chloe herself probably didn't even realize it.

00:13:22That day at the clothing store, I gained the leverage to make her fall deeper into my trap.

00:13:32Whenever she got cozy with another guy, I just bury myself in my books.

00:13:46And so...

00:13:48Chloe gave in, little by little.

00:13:51From avoiding every male classmate who admired her...

00:13:54All the way to...

00:13:56Avoiding her childhood friend Sean.

00:13:59Sean.

00:14:00Sean.

00:14:00And I.

00:14:02I returned the favor in kind.

00:14:04Made sure I came in dead last on every mock exam.

00:14:10Chloe.

00:14:11Her most beautiful, vibrant years belonged completely and solely to me.

00:14:15And I loved every minute of it.

00:14:18Sean.

00:14:19And you?

00:14:21When Ethan was around, you avoiding me was bad enough.

00:14:25But now he's gone.

00:14:26And you're still acting like you're saving yourself for him.

00:14:29Chloe, you're not actually into him, are you?

00:14:33Wasn't that all your scheme?

00:14:35If it weren't for me?

00:14:36How do you think you got that first place?

00:14:39Now that you've got your bone, you're trying to bite the hand that fed you?

00:14:43I never asked you to stay loyal to him.

00:14:45It's been two weeks since the exams.

00:14:48You two have been together every single day.

00:14:51Chloe, don't think for a second I don't know what you've been doing for him.

00:14:56Say something.

00:14:58What did we do?

00:14:59Of course, what a man and a woman are supposed to do.

00:15:04Think whatever you want.

00:15:13I like deep kisses.

00:15:15When I'm kissing, I always like to take the lead.

00:15:18Like an animal marking its territory, it's a way of claiming possession.

00:15:24Chloe's used to my rhythm.

00:15:26How could she still prefer Shawn's slow, steady affection?

00:15:30I've played along with your little act for a year.

00:15:32And I've gained a lot from it too.

00:15:38Now it's time for the main attraction.

00:15:55Didn't we agree to check our scores together today?

00:15:58Why are there only two of you?

00:16:00What's the rush? So what if not everyone's here?

00:16:03But you, on the other hand, the guy who's second to last, why are you here so bright and early?

00:16:09Well, things can't get any worse. Might as well get it over with.

00:16:14Looks like you're totally comfortable.

00:16:16Being a loser.

00:16:18I heard.

00:16:20You estimated your score at over 400.

00:16:23That would make you first in the department, wouldn't it?

00:16:25Then your principal dad?

00:16:27Must be over the moon.

00:16:29So you called us all here to check our scores together just to witness your big moment?

00:16:33Is that it?

00:16:34What?

00:16:36Jealous? Just say it.

00:16:37Jealous?

00:16:45Chloe, your lipstick's smudged.

00:16:53Come on, hurry up. Get over here.

00:16:55Come here.

00:16:56The camera, the spot, and the live stream all set.

00:17:01Everything's ready to go.

00:17:03Sound? Everything. All good.

00:17:05No issues. Good.

00:17:08Why are you just standing there? Get in. Sit down. Now.

00:17:12Scores come out at 9.

00:17:14So, the principal doesn't just want us to witness Sean's moment of glory.

00:17:18He wants to broadcast it to the whole world.

00:17:21Ethan.

00:17:22I told you, sooner or later, I'd wipe that smug grin off your face.

00:17:27Tonight, when the scores drop at 9, you just watch.

00:17:30I'll show you how I grind you into the dirt.

00:17:33This setup is even bigger than I thought.

00:17:36It makes me look forward to it even more.

00:17:38It's starting soon. Let's have a seat.

00:17:40All right.

00:17:47Everyone, the moment of truth is here.

00:17:50Today, all our students are checking their scores together.

00:17:58Your results will be displayed on this big screen.

00:18:01For this exam, the student who places first will be chosen by our professor Zhang for direct admission.

00:18:08So, everyone will witness your triumphant moment.

00:18:17Without further delay, let's get started.

00:18:47400.

00:18:59son with this score i'll definitely be chosen by professor zhang directly admitted

00:19:21ethan don't worry you failed this time there's always next time you may have failed but i passed

00:19:28oh there's always a next time but you probably won't pass then either

00:20:13that's absolutely impossible this system has a bug

00:20:18I'm from Crestwood University's admissions office

00:20:21At the request of Professor Zhang, I'm here to recruit a student

00:20:25Excuse me, which one of you is Ethan?

00:20:30That's me

00:20:33Hello Ethan, I'm Mr. Lee from Crestwood University

00:20:36Hello Mr. Lee

00:20:39Are you really from Crestwood University admissions office?

00:20:42What proof do you have?

00:20:43Something like this. It's not easy to fake, is it?

00:20:51Quick, get the camera on Ethan

00:20:53Ethan, what on earth is going on?

00:20:56Did your grades drop because you were dating Ms. Joe?

00:20:58Or were you manipulating your scores on purpose?

00:21:01You skip class and hang out at bars every day, yet you still get such high scores

00:21:05Are you a genius, or do you have some secret study method?

00:21:08You can interview me, I know what's really going on

00:21:12Chloe Zhou is Sean's girlfriend, the campus bell

00:21:14Sean resented Ethan for stealing his top spot and his grades

00:21:18He was even more afraid Ethan would take his spot as Professor Zhang's student

00:21:22So he had Chloe seduce Ethan

00:21:24Chloe took Ethan out every day, skipping class

00:21:27The goal was to make his grades plummet

00:21:29So this is the story of a top student who saw through a villain's revenge plot

00:21:32Played along with the scheming girlfriend, sent his way

00:21:35And then got into Crestwood University

00:21:37And it's all live

00:21:38Mr. Zhang, is what Nina just revealed true?

00:21:42Did you really go to such lengths to ruin Ethan?

00:21:45I

00:21:45Principal Zhang, answer our questions

00:21:48No, no, no, no, stop filming

00:21:50Stop filming, let's go

00:21:55I didn't expect everyone to be so interested in my story

00:21:59Actually, I've been wanting to compile my study methods

00:22:01And review notes from these past few years

00:22:03Into a book for publication

00:22:04Any interested publishers can contact me

00:22:07Ethan truly lives up to being number one

00:22:09His vision is even broader than most people's

00:22:13Mr. Lee, let's talk somewhere else

00:22:15Alright, follow me

00:22:28Ethan, I need to talk to you

00:22:30Ethan

00:22:35Ethan

00:22:49Prior to your enrollment

00:22:50You'll stay here for now

00:22:52We've purchased a laptop for you to use

00:22:54Thank you, Mr. Lee

00:22:56No problem

00:22:58Okay, thanks for your hard work

00:23:02Earning something through your own hard work feels so good

00:23:10Perfect timing

00:23:11I've received contact info from over a dozen publishers

00:23:15So I can start comparing their offers

00:23:34Hello?

00:23:36It's ringing, it's ringing

00:23:50Yeah

00:23:51At least five hundred thousand dollars

00:23:53Five hundred thousand dollars

00:23:56Plus

00:23:56And there are a lot of publishers

00:23:58They're fighting to sign me for an autobiography

00:24:00With an advance of at least a million dollars

00:24:03Oh my, we're rich, we're rich

00:24:04Does that mean you can buy me concert tickets?

00:24:07All you think about is concerts

00:24:08We have so many things to buy for the house

00:24:10What's the rush?

00:24:12The Chens have really hit the jackpot

00:24:14Exactly

00:24:15Why don't I have that kind of luck?

00:24:17From now on, the Chens are going to be strutting around here

00:24:20Quick, ask Ethan when he's coming back

00:24:22We're waiting to do a feature on your whole family

00:24:25Ethan, when are you coming back?

00:24:27These reporters are waiting to interview you

00:24:29Come back soon

00:24:30Mom's going to cook you a whole celebratory banquet

00:24:35What did you say?

00:24:36Which home?

00:24:38What did you say?

00:24:39Which home?

00:24:40Oh, you silly boy

00:24:41What nonsense are you spouting?

00:24:43How many homes do you have?

00:24:44Our home, of course

00:24:45That hellhole?

00:24:47That's not my home

00:24:48I'm never going back there

00:24:50What?

00:24:51Ethan Chen isn't coming back

00:24:53He's not coming back?

00:24:57You silly boy

00:24:58What are you spouting now?

00:25:00Where else can you go if you don't come back?

00:25:01You've got your mom and dad right here

00:25:03And your sister

00:25:04Dad?

00:25:05Mom?

00:25:08That

00:25:09The one who came home drunk every day

00:25:11And beat me senseless

00:25:12Then forced me to drop out and work

00:25:14That father

00:25:15Or you

00:25:16Who couldn't wait for me

00:25:17To sign that kidney donation agreement

00:25:19The reporters

00:25:20Just so you could make a huge profit

00:25:23Or maybe that

00:25:24Sister who never saw me as her brother

00:25:26Spoiled rotten by you

00:25:27That sister, Amy

00:25:30Oli

00:25:31Ethan

00:25:32Ethan Chen

00:25:33Need a daily beating to keep you in check?

00:25:35Don't you know

00:25:37Your place anymore?

00:25:38Calm down, calm down

00:25:39What's wrong with you?

00:25:40You beat him often, don't you?

00:25:42Obviously

00:25:43No

00:25:44Ethan

00:25:45My dear boy

00:25:46All that is in the past now

00:25:48It was mom and dad's fault

00:25:50But no matter what

00:25:51We're still your parents after all

00:25:53This will always be your home

00:25:55If you don't come home

00:25:58Where else could you go?

00:25:59I'm a grown man now

00:26:00What's more

00:26:01I got into the top university

00:26:03And the hottest major

00:26:04My hard work and talent

00:26:06Are gonna bring me countless successes

00:26:09Just like today

00:26:09You're begging me to come home

00:26:12Let me tell you something

00:26:13I'm gonna expose your abuse

00:26:15To the whole world

00:26:16You'd better watch your backs

00:26:20Ethan

00:26:22Hey

00:26:23Hey

00:26:24Ethan

00:26:25Alright, alright, alright

00:26:27That little bastard

00:26:29I'm gonna drag him back right now

00:26:31And break his legs

00:26:32What?

00:26:33So Ethan was telling the truth

00:26:35You've been abusing him this whole time

00:26:37No, no

00:26:38The Chens really don't know how good they had it, huh?

00:26:41Yeah

00:26:42They had it coming

00:26:43I knew something was off with that family

00:26:45They've always favored their own daughter

00:26:48How could they treat Ethan well?

00:26:50No

00:26:51Keep filming

00:26:53Stop

00:26:54Stop filming

00:26:55I said stop filming

00:26:56Get out

00:26:57You hear me?

00:26:58Get lost now

00:27:00Everyone out, out

00:27:01The farther you go the better

00:27:02Don't ever come back

00:27:03Get lost

00:27:04Get out

00:27:06Get out now

00:27:07How dare you

00:27:08Defy me

00:27:09Ethan

00:27:10You have to keep moving forward

00:27:12Always have the courage and guts

00:27:13To make your own choices

00:27:19Who's there?

00:27:21Who's there?

00:27:23Ethan?

00:27:24It's me

00:27:25Chloe, open the door please

00:27:27Ethan?

00:27:28I've been searching everywhere for you

00:27:30Finally tracked you down here

00:27:32Ethan?

00:27:33Please, just open the door

00:27:44Ethan, I finally get to see you

00:27:46I don't care if you lied to me before

00:27:48Or if you're a good student or not

00:27:50I just want to be with you

00:27:52You want to go to Crestwood?

00:27:54I want to go to Crestwood too

00:27:55Let's stay together

00:27:57And never be apart, okay?

00:28:02But by doing this

00:28:03Aren't you afraid Sean will be furious?

00:28:05The bet

00:28:06You lost

00:28:08Chloe

00:28:10So you did hear everything

00:28:12No, it's not like that

00:28:14Back then, I didn't know you

00:28:16I didn't understand you

00:28:17I was provoked

00:28:19So I agreed to that bet with Sean

00:28:20But I really regret it now

00:28:22I regret it so, so much

00:28:24Every day I spent with you

00:28:26I slowly came to understand my own heart

00:28:28I like you

00:28:30I really, really like you

00:28:32Let's just leave the past behind

00:28:35Can we start over?

00:28:41Did you catch all that?

00:28:43Sean

00:28:46You hear that?

00:28:48Sean

00:28:48Ethan

00:28:50You poor dog

00:28:51You really think you can beat me?

00:28:53Let me tell you something

00:28:55Don't get too cocky

00:28:56You got into Crestwood University

00:28:58Became Professor Zhang's student

00:29:00Big deal

00:29:00You're just an aunt

00:29:01I have plenty of ways to crush you

00:29:04And Chloe

00:29:05Do you really think you and that guy actually have a future?

00:29:09Let me tell you something

00:29:10Ethan's known the whole time about our plan

00:29:12He's just using you to get back at me

00:29:14You're just a tool for his revenge on me

00:29:17Now that he's done with you

00:29:18He'll toss you aside like trash and cast you aside

00:29:21No, that's not true

00:29:23You hear me?

00:29:24Ethan

00:29:25I don't believe it

00:29:29Ethan

00:29:30You like me too, don't you?

00:29:37Your injuries

00:29:38What happened?

00:29:39You mean

00:29:41Here?

00:29:42Right here?

00:29:43Your childhood friend burned me with a candle

00:29:51Sean said I was born unlucky

00:29:52Dreaming of things I didn't deserve

00:29:54So he brought his goons

00:29:56And cornered me in the bathroom

00:29:57And beat me up

00:30:02Sean set his dog on me

00:30:03It ripped a chunk of flesh right off

00:30:06Of course it was a bloody mess after that

00:30:07Why would he do that to you?

00:30:11Why?

00:30:13For the same reason you're cozying up to me

00:30:16Chloe

00:30:17Ever think about that?

00:30:19Sean's family is rich and powerful

00:30:21And his father is the principal

00:30:23He had so many ways to make an aunt like me

00:30:25Give up the top spot

00:30:27Then why the hell would he send you

00:30:28His campus bell childhood sweetheart

00:30:30To my side?

00:30:31Ever wonder?

00:30:33Why?

00:30:35Fine, I'll tell you

00:30:36Because every other move he made

00:30:38I put my life on the line to block his path

00:30:41You risked your life to stop him?

00:30:43What happened?

00:30:46Chloe

00:30:48Ready to meet the real me?

00:30:59Man, that was intense

00:31:01It's actually pretty hard to watch

00:31:03Right?

00:31:04Ethan

00:31:06You there?

00:31:07Don't look so shocked

00:31:09This time around

00:31:10I wanted Sean to hit me

00:31:18Ethan, get ready to get expelled

00:31:20I'm done playing

00:31:22Sean

00:31:23What are you talking about?

00:31:25My dad said

00:31:26For someone like you

00:31:27Who can't take a hint

00:31:28Out of sight

00:31:29Out of mind

00:31:30Why get my hands dirty?

00:31:32Since over and over again

00:31:34You just won't take a hint

00:31:36I'll find any excuse to expel you

00:31:47See?

00:31:48Life's just this hard when you're poor

00:31:52All these years

00:31:53I've taken all those beatings from Sean

00:31:55All because I wanted to study hard

00:31:57And find a way out

00:31:58But people like him

00:32:00With just a single word

00:32:03Blocked my path

00:32:04But I refuse to accept that

00:32:06I'm gonna make Sean lay hands on me

00:32:08One more time

00:32:09To get Sean to make the first move

00:32:11I went all out on that exam

00:32:12And beat him by over 40 points

00:32:33Ah, Sean

00:32:35If we keep hitting him

00:32:36Something bad's gonna happen

00:32:37Fine

00:32:38Then let's play a more interesting game

00:32:40Strip off his clothes

00:32:48My little fools

00:32:49Why strip his clothes?

00:32:51Strip his pants?

00:33:01Enough

00:33:04Boring

00:33:05Tomorrow I'll have my dad expel you

00:33:17Young man

00:33:17What happened to you?

00:33:18You

00:33:19Were you robbed?

00:33:20Ma'am

00:33:21Can you help me?

00:33:23Okay

00:33:23I'll call an ambulance right now

00:33:26Ma'am

00:33:27I can go to the hospital myself

00:33:28What I want is this

00:33:30So you want the USB drive

00:33:32From the dash cam

00:33:33The whole thing was recorded

00:33:34It's all on here

00:33:36Okay

00:33:37I'll go get it for you

00:33:47Hey

00:33:48Mind if I ask you something?

00:33:50Do you even know who attacked you?

00:33:54Look at you

00:33:55You're just a student

00:33:55You got beaten up this bad

00:33:57Why isn't your school stepping in?

00:34:02Then just tell me

00:34:03Who did this to you?

00:34:05It's Principal Zhang's son

00:34:08Principal Zhang's son?

00:34:11Young man

00:34:12I feel so bad for you

00:34:14But Principal Zhang

00:34:15In a small place like ours

00:34:17Is incredibly well connected

00:34:19I

00:34:21But I just can't take that risk

00:34:25It's okay, ma'am

00:34:45Young man

00:34:46I have kids too

00:34:50Here's the USB drive

00:34:51Take it

00:34:54You need to save yourself

00:34:58Thank you

00:35:00Thank you, ma'am

00:35:02This video here

00:35:04I risked my life for it

00:35:05Scheming to get it from a soft-hearted mother

00:35:09Scheming?

00:35:10Oh, right

00:35:12Forgot to mention

00:35:13Before it all went down

00:35:15In that alley

00:35:15I checked every single car

00:35:17One by one

00:35:18In the end

00:35:20I picked that kind lady's car

00:35:23Because she had photos with her daughter in the car

00:35:26Pictures in the car

00:35:28A whole bunch of them

00:35:29The most recent one

00:35:31You could tell her daughter

00:35:32Was only a few years older than me

00:35:34This mom probably updates the pictures in her car every few years

00:35:37A mom who loves her daughter that much

00:35:39And

00:35:40Has to have a soft heart, right?

00:35:42So when Sean started swinging

00:35:43I fought like hell to put myself right in front of her dash cam

00:35:47Right in the frame

00:35:50See?

00:35:52See how twisted I am?

00:35:54I took advantage of an innocent, soft-hearted mother

00:35:57Don't say that

00:35:58It's not your fault

00:36:00What else could I have done?

00:36:02Guys like us

00:36:04What have we got left to risk?

00:36:06Besides our own lives

00:36:08But luckily

00:36:10Even though fate never favored me

00:36:11It was still intimidated by my ruthlessness

00:36:16After that, things were simple

00:36:18The dash cam caught Sean assaulting me

00:36:21Clear as day

00:36:23I told Sean that if he dared to lay a hand on me again

00:36:26Or if I got expelled

00:36:27Then this video would be posted on every website

00:36:30And ruin his reputation

00:36:32But by doing that

00:36:34Aren't you afraid you'll ruin your own life too?

00:36:40Your reaction and Sean's are exactly the same

00:36:43Just like I thought

00:36:44But I'm different from you

00:36:45I'm not afraid to drag myself through the mud

00:36:49Is he?

00:36:51Are you?

00:36:52Sean doesn't dare

00:36:54But he can't accept it either

00:36:56So he sent you to deal with me

00:37:00But I didn't know anything

00:37:03Of course I knew

00:37:04Otherwise, dating the accomplice of my abuser would be

00:37:08Pretty disgusting, right?

00:37:09Ethan, are we really?

00:37:11But you were aiding a tyrant

00:37:12That's just as despicable and vicious

00:37:20Sean was right

00:37:22I do want revenge on him

00:37:23Why should the victim be trapped for life

00:37:26While the abuser gets to live carefree?

00:37:29I'm going to personally put Sean behind bars

00:37:32I want him to spend his time in there

00:37:35Every minute

00:37:35Every second

00:37:37Remembering everything he's lost

00:37:38For every slap he landed on my face

00:37:42For every scar he left on my body

00:37:45It's what goes around

00:37:47Comes around

00:37:47He's getting what he deserves

00:37:49And you were just one of my tools for revenge

00:37:54Ethan

00:37:55You mean you never had any feelings for me?

00:37:59Of course

00:37:59I liked your body

00:38:01I liked your face

00:38:02But I never cared about you

00:38:08Please leave

00:38:11Ethan

00:38:11No, I'm not leaving

00:38:12Get out

00:38:13Get out

00:38:58Don't worry, Ethan

00:38:59The video evidence you gave us

00:39:01Is enough to charge

00:39:02Sean Zhang for his criminal actions

00:39:04We've already sent officers to pick him up

00:39:06Leave the rest to us

00:39:07You just focus on your studies, alright?

00:39:09And get some rest

00:39:10The law will see that justice is served

00:39:13Thank you

00:39:17Go home and get some rest

00:39:19Try to stay positive

00:39:22The sun's come out

00:39:24Ethan Chen

00:39:26Even if storms keep raging in the future

00:39:29You've got to keep living toward the sun

00:39:32Thank you to all the members of the press

00:39:34For coming to Bright Sun Publishing's

00:39:35New book signing event for Ethan Chen

00:39:39Let's give a warm round of applause

00:39:41As we welcome Ethan to say a few words

00:39:47Hello everyone, I'm Ethan Chen

00:39:49I'm very grateful to all of you

00:39:51For coming to support me today

00:39:52To be here today

00:39:54I'm so excited and happy

00:39:56This book tells my own story

00:39:58Along with the lessons from my years of study

00:40:00But I believe there must be many people like me

00:40:03With similar experiences

00:40:05Who will see themselves in it?

00:40:07Ethan, I've read the sample the publisher sent

00:40:10After finishing it

00:40:11I truly couldn't sleep all night

00:40:13It's hard to imagine that at such a young age

00:40:15You've already weathered such huge storms

00:40:18Me too

00:40:19I stayed up all night to finish it

00:40:22As I was reading

00:40:23I went through two whole boxes of tissues

00:40:25When you wrote about your family of origin

00:40:27I really related to it

00:40:29I grew up in an unhappy family

00:40:31Beaten by my dad

00:40:32And neglected by my mom

00:40:33I believe your book will definitely inspire others

00:40:36With similar experiences

00:40:40I think

00:40:40Dad?

00:40:41Mom?

00:40:42It's right here

00:40:44Ethan

00:40:54Ethan

00:40:55You ungrateful jerk

00:40:57You liar

00:40:58We raised you for what?

00:41:00Wait, nah

00:41:00What are you doing?

00:41:01Security

00:41:06Ladies and gentlemen

00:41:08We are Ethan's parents

00:41:10Today we are here to expose his lies

00:41:12Lies?

00:41:14What lies?

00:41:17Everything in this book

00:41:18Is a lie

00:41:19Not a single word is true

00:41:21It's all garbage

00:41:26Everyone

00:41:26At home

00:41:27We did spoil our daughter a little

00:41:29We admit that

00:41:30But all that stuff about abuse

00:41:32Forcing him to donate a kidney

00:41:34Never happened

00:41:35It's all Ethan's doing

00:41:37He just wants to cash in

00:41:38So he won't support us

00:41:40His own parents

00:41:41Or help out the family

00:41:42He cooked up this whole scheme himself

00:41:44We raised you for nothing

00:41:47Exactly, Ethan

00:41:49So you've made it big now

00:41:50You can't just turn your back on mom and dad

00:41:51We're family

00:41:52You're breaking your mother's heart

00:41:54Ethan, what do you have to say for yourself?

00:41:56Here's what I have to say

00:41:57You need proof for everything

00:42:00In this book

00:42:00I've laid out everything

00:42:02The records from my part-time jobs

00:42:04To pay for living expenses

00:42:05The injury report from when my dad beat me

00:42:07And from my mom

00:42:08There's her

00:42:08Forcing me to sign a kidney donation agreement

00:42:10All in the chat history

00:42:12It's all right here

00:42:14You say I'm lying?

00:42:15Where's your proof?

00:42:16The evidence in Ethan's book is very detailed

00:42:19Are you suggesting he'd risk his own future and reputation

00:42:22Just to slander you?

00:42:22That would bring him absolutely no benefit

00:42:25Proof?

00:42:26Of course I have it

00:42:27I have solid proof

00:42:28Got proof?

00:42:29Then prove it

00:42:30If you hadn't deleted all our contact info

00:42:32We wouldn't have had to come here

00:42:34Making such a scene

00:42:36You're lying and slandering us

00:42:38If you apologize to us now

00:42:40And come home with us quietly

00:42:42Mom will pretend like nothing ever happened

00:42:45That proof, of course I won't show it

00:42:46We don't want to go that far either

00:42:48Think it over carefully

00:42:50That's right, Ethan

00:42:51We're family

00:42:52Go back with you?

00:42:54So you can leech off me again?

00:42:56What?

00:42:56Am I supposed to hand over every last cent of my scholarship money

00:42:59For you to squander again?

00:43:00You have proof?

00:43:02Then show it now

00:43:03You're forcing my hand

00:43:06Everyone

00:43:06This is my husband's

00:43:08Ethan's father's medical report

00:43:10He has heart disease and high blood pressure

00:43:12He's been on long-term medication

00:43:13He can't get angry or drink alcohol

00:43:15Otherwise, it could trigger a cerebral infarction

00:43:18How could he be a chronic alcoholic?

00:43:21And as for what you said about patient trafficking and kidney donation records

00:43:24I know nothing about any of that

00:43:26This is my phone

00:43:27If you don't believe me, go ahead and check it all

00:43:29Check for yourselves

00:43:31Friends from the media

00:43:34Take a good look

00:43:35Look

00:43:38These medical reports are real

00:43:40Heart disease

00:43:41High blood pressure

00:43:42He really couldn't be out drinking and beating people up every day

00:43:44But in the chat history, there's no mention of donating a kidney

00:43:48Maybe he deleted all the related content

00:43:51Well, Ethan could have photoshopped it too

00:43:55Ethan

00:43:56I'm begging you

00:43:57If you're mad, take it out on me

00:43:59Just let mom and dad go

00:44:01This is all because of your book

00:44:04We're getting harassed online by tons of people

00:44:06Not just the neighbors

00:44:08They're all cursing mom and dad

00:44:09Even people at school are yelling at me too

00:44:12Well, mom and dad

00:44:13They did raise you

00:44:15They just favored me a bit more

00:44:17Precious daughter

00:44:18Come on

00:44:19Get up

00:44:20We're not begging him

00:44:21Ethan

00:44:22What more do you want from us?

00:44:23Just to satisfy your selfish desires?

00:44:25So it seems Ethan Chen's book does contain some exaggerations

00:44:29Favoring a younger daughter isn't a crime

00:44:31What family can treat everyone equally?

00:44:33He's the older brother

00:44:34What's wrong with giving in to his sister?

00:44:37Mr. Chen

00:44:37If today's commotion can't be settled

00:44:40Then this book

00:44:42I'm afraid we can no longer publish it for you

00:44:46What a performance

00:44:48If it were someone with weaker mental fortitude

00:44:51They might have really let you pin the blame on them

00:44:53Are you saying all this evidence is fake?

00:44:56That's exactly the point

00:44:58This whole act and all this evidence

00:45:00Isn't something you could have come up with

00:45:02There's got to be someone pulling the strings

00:45:04After thinking it over

00:45:06Someone who has it out for me and has the means

00:45:09There's only one person

00:45:12Our esteemed Principal Zhang

00:45:13As the mastermind

00:45:15Aren't you going to come out and say hello?

00:45:20It really is Principal Zhang

00:45:21So is what Ethan said true?

00:45:23That Principal Zhang put the Chen's up to this act?

00:45:26Sean Zhang is in prison

00:45:27And Principal Zhang and Ethan have a deep-seated grudge

00:45:29So he's definitely capable of doing something like this

00:45:32Principal Zhang

00:45:33Are you here today because of the Chen family?

00:45:36I'm

00:45:37Did indeed help the Chen family

00:45:39Then may I ask

00:45:40Is this retaliation on your part?

00:45:42The Chen's are disgusting

00:45:44They actually teamed up with the man who abused their son

00:45:47They got in bed with him

00:45:49Everyone, please calm down

00:45:50Let me say a few words

00:45:52Indeed

00:45:54My son deeply hurt Ethan

00:45:56He is now facing legal consequences

00:45:58As a father

00:45:59I

00:46:00I failed in my duty

00:46:02But precisely because of that

00:46:05As a principal

00:46:06It's even more imperative

00:46:08That I don't fail in my duty

00:46:10Ethan is a fine young man

00:46:12With a bright future

00:46:13I can't bear to see Ethan

00:46:16Go down the wrong path

00:46:17After investigating the Chen family's actual situation

00:46:21I resolutely decided to help them

00:46:25I simply hope Ethan realized

00:46:27It's not too late to turn back

00:46:29That brat Ethan dared to use me

00:46:31To deal with his heartless parents

00:46:33And got my son thrown in jail

00:46:36And my grudge

00:46:38Today

00:46:39I'm gonna settle it all with you

00:46:41Everyone

00:46:43Setting aside our positions

00:46:44The Chen family did present concrete evidence

00:46:49Everyone

00:46:50Take a look at this medical report in my hand

00:46:53Let me ask you

00:46:54How could someone with AE

00:46:56Long-term history of hypertension and heart disease

00:47:00Possibly drink heavily and beat people every day

00:47:03Therefore this is an outright lie

00:47:06From that perspective

00:47:08It really is possible

00:47:10These medical reports

00:47:11My friend, the hospital director

00:47:13Helped me get them

00:47:14No one

00:47:15No one could tell the difference

00:47:17If Ethan would lie about something like this

00:47:20Then it's possible he lied about other things too

00:47:22Let's wait a bit longer

00:47:23I still believe in our genius

00:47:26Dad

00:47:27You said you have hypertension and heart disease

00:47:30So you can't get angry, right?

00:47:34What is it?

00:47:35Is there a problem?

00:47:39Ethan, what are you doing?

00:47:40Finally

00:47:41I've been wanting to do this for a long time

00:47:44Quick

00:47:44Stop him

00:47:45Honey

00:47:50You

00:47:51You little

00:48:00You little

00:48:06Weren't you the one saying

00:48:07You had high blood pressure and heart disease?

00:48:11I see you're pretty worked up

00:48:13Yeah, yeah

00:48:14That's right

00:48:16Look at that energy

00:48:17Sure doesn't look like someone with high blood pressure and heart disease

00:48:21Honey, he's

00:48:21He's

00:48:22He, uh

00:48:23He took his meds before coming

00:48:26Right, right

00:48:27I just took my pills today

00:48:29Ugh

00:48:30I'm still not feeling well

00:48:33Really not well

00:48:34That's right

00:48:35Enough

00:48:36Cut the act

00:48:37I just

00:48:38It was just to get it out of my system that I hit him a few times

00:48:42Whether I'm lying or not

00:48:43Just watch this video

00:48:45And it'll all be clear

00:49:00Seriously?

00:49:01You were secretly filming at home?

00:49:03Seriously?

00:49:04A hidden camera?

00:49:05I just put a camera in my own room

00:49:07That's all

00:49:08This camera has recorded years of you beating and kicking me on tape

00:49:13I was afraid that before I even turned 18 you would beat me half to death

00:49:18This video, this evidence, all this evidence, I kept it

00:49:21So I could give it to the police?

00:49:22I could hand it over to the police

00:49:23Never thought I'd need it right here, today

00:49:26What kind of parents do that?

00:49:30Surprised, huh?

00:49:31Only now do I get it

00:49:33Only by making all this evidence public can I really make you face the music

00:49:37Now everything's out in the open

00:49:38You need to leave

00:49:39Now

00:49:40And don't disrupt the book signing

00:49:42Security

00:49:42Now everything's clear

00:49:44Get out now

00:49:45And don't you dare disrupt this signing

00:49:47Call security

00:49:49You're not going anywhere

00:49:51Everything you did today

00:49:52We're going to expose every last bit of it

00:49:56Principal Zhang

00:49:56Admit it now

00:49:57You helped the Chen family

00:49:59Retaliate against Ethan, didn't you?

00:50:01Mr. Chen

00:50:02In the video Ethan took

00:50:04You were clearly drinking

00:50:05So then

00:50:07That medical report for hypertension and heart disease

00:50:09Who helped you forge it?

00:50:11Answer the question

00:50:14Stop filming

00:50:15Stop it right now

00:50:18Whoa, what

00:50:19What is this?

00:50:25Enough

00:50:28Ethan Chen

00:50:30You think we ever actually wanted you?

00:50:33Huh?

00:50:35Aren't you the big shot?

00:50:37Why don't you go find your real father?

00:50:40You clung to our family like a leech for so many years

00:50:45If it weren't for the fact that your mom was pregnant with Amy back then

00:50:49How could a brat like you have gotten into our family so easily?

00:50:54You came into our family when you were two

00:50:56You ate my food

00:50:58Lived under my roof

00:50:59Spent my money

00:51:00Huh?

00:51:02Shouldn't you be kissing my feet in gratitude?

00:51:07Fine

00:51:07Even if I gave you everything

00:51:09You think you deserve any of it?

00:51:12Oh, Ethan

00:51:14Bet you still don't know

00:51:16Isho?

00:51:17How your real father dumped you

00:51:19Let me tell you

00:51:21Your real father

00:51:23Back then

00:51:23Waited until our whole family was out

00:51:27And dumped you

00:51:28And dumped you right on our doorstep

00:51:30So

00:51:31Ethan

00:51:33Your own father threw you away

00:51:35And I

00:51:36Your stepfather

00:51:37Raised you

00:51:39Put you through school

00:51:40And made you valedictorian

00:51:43And you have the nerve to feel wronged

00:51:46You never should have

00:51:48Been born

00:51:51That's too much

00:51:52What kind of people are you?

00:51:55Security, take him away!

00:52:01Ethan Chen

00:52:03Take him away

00:52:04This isn't over, Ethan

00:52:14Ethan

00:52:16What happened today was on us

00:52:18At the publishing house

00:52:19Our security wasn't up to par

00:52:21Really sorry about that

00:52:23It must have been a real shock for you

00:52:25Here's an idea

00:52:27How about we just reschedule today's signing?

00:52:30Today you just relax and enjoy a valedictorian's feast

00:52:33To calm your nerves, alright?

00:52:36Ah, you're too kind

00:52:39Don't worry about it

00:52:40We can proceed as scheduled

00:52:42Are you sure?

00:52:43But in a bit

00:52:44You're giving that live online speech

00:52:47It could be seen by millions

00:52:51Trust me

00:52:51I've got this

00:52:52Got it

00:52:53I'll get everything set up right away

00:52:55Alright then, Ethan

00:52:56Why don't you head backstage and freshen up?

00:52:59Alright, thanks for everything

00:53:20Hello everyone, I'm Ethan Chen

00:53:22Spend $500

00:53:23Get $200 off

00:53:24A lot of you already know my story

00:53:30If you're stuck in the mud right now

00:53:32Remember to cut through the thorns

00:53:34Be your own life raft

00:53:36Trample all your burdens underfoot

00:53:38Turning them into stepping stones

00:53:39I am Ethan Chen

00:53:41Not chasing the sun

00:53:43Nor just looking up at it

00:53:44I am the dawn that darkness can't hide

00:53:47The sun that only shines after hardship

00:53:51I hope that you and I can all rely on our unbreakable spirit

00:53:55To chase the stars

00:53:56To journey far

00:53:57To see the wilderness

00:53:59And to be our own sun

00:54:05The road ahead is long

00:54:06I'll take that first step

00:54:18Ethan

00:54:19That was a brilliant speech

00:54:21The viewer count just now

00:54:22Has already surpassed 10 million

00:54:25That book of yours

00:54:26Is going to be a bestseller for sure

00:54:28Thank you

00:54:29I need to use the restroom

00:54:30I'll be right back

00:54:32Okay

00:54:40Wait

00:54:45So it's really

00:54:47Oy you

00:54:48I knew

00:54:48I knew I wasn't seeing things

00:54:49I didn't mean to bother you

00:54:51I just wanted to see you from afar

00:54:54At the very beginning

00:54:55I always thought that as time went by

00:54:57Even the strongest feelings would fade away

00:55:01Maybe there was still a chance for us

00:55:04But just now

00:55:05Seeing you deal with Principal Zhang

00:55:07And the trouble your family caused

00:55:09And that brilliant speech

00:55:11I finally realized

00:55:13You're a bird soaring in the sky

00:55:15You should fly back to your own forest

00:55:18Someone like me

00:55:20Isn't worth you looking back for

00:55:22That's poetic

00:55:23But I prefer to be practical

00:55:27There's $20,000 in this card

00:55:30This is for all the money you spent

00:55:32While we were together

00:55:33In the past year with you

00:55:35You covered most of the expenses

00:55:37So I could focus on my studies

00:55:39Wait

00:55:40No

00:55:41I mean study in secret

00:55:44Here

00:55:45Take this

00:55:46You don't have to

00:55:47I spent every bit of it willingly

00:55:50Besides

00:55:51Chloe

00:55:53Don't get me wrong

00:55:54Giving you this money

00:55:56Isn't about feeling indebted

00:55:58Back then I was just borrowing

00:55:59Against my own potential

00:56:01Now I'm just here to pay it back

00:56:04This money

00:56:05Is to make things right

00:56:06For the man I was

00:56:08The one who could only swallow his pride

00:56:14Wait

00:56:17Hold on

00:56:19Ethan

00:56:21I'll never find anyone like you again

00:56:26I know you'll find someone way better than me

00:56:34Chloe

00:56:35Goodbye

00:56:39We will meet again

00:56:41No matter how long

00:56:42I will win you back

00:56:46After graduating from a top grad program

00:56:48I worked for two years

00:56:51Then I got headhunted

00:56:54By StarTech

00:56:54The top firm in the field

00:56:56As vice manager of R&D

00:57:00Today's my first day on the job

00:57:06This is the manager's office

00:57:08Alright

00:57:09Thank you

00:57:28Hello

00:57:28I'm Ethan Chen

00:57:30The new vice manager of R&D

00:57:32I'm your new deputy

00:57:33I look forward to working with you

00:57:42Long time no see

00:57:43Ethan Chen

00:57:45Sean, what are you doing here?

00:57:47Taking your seat

00:57:48Is it not obvious?

00:57:49You just got out of prison

00:57:51Not that long ago?

00:57:52How could you possibly

00:57:53Have become a manager

00:57:54At StarTech so quickly?

00:57:56Your dad must have connections

00:57:57At StarTech too

00:57:59So

00:57:59Now you should understand

00:58:00The gap between us

00:58:02Only an aunt like you

00:58:03Needs to climb up

00:58:04Step by step

00:58:05But as for me

00:58:07Even though you framed me

00:58:09And sent me to prison

00:58:10In the end

00:58:11I'm still riding high above you

00:58:17Sean, what are you doing in my seat?

00:58:20Uh, nothing

00:58:21Just having a little fun

00:58:23With the new vice manager

00:58:27So you're the new vice manager

00:58:29Ethan Chen

00:58:32There's a change

00:58:33Regarding your position

00:58:34Our department only needs

00:58:36One vice manager

00:58:36But we have two candidates now

00:58:38One is a top student

00:58:39With an impressive resume

00:58:40And the other

00:58:41Well, let's just say

00:58:43He's the boss's pet

00:58:44I think we all know who's who

00:58:46I don't need to name names

00:58:47Do I?

00:58:48After discussion

00:58:49With senior management

00:58:50We've decided to put you both

00:58:51On a one month probation

00:58:53Coincidentally

00:58:53The company is currently

00:58:54Trying to secure a collaboration

00:58:55With Eastern Group

00:58:56Worth 50 million dollars

00:58:58So, within a month

00:58:59Whoever can secure this deal

00:59:00Gets to stay

00:59:11Eastern Group

00:59:12I'm going to win you over today

00:59:30That covers everything in my proposal

00:59:32Please review it

00:59:33Director He

00:59:33Vice manager Chen

00:59:35As the person in charge

00:59:36Of this key project

00:59:37For Eastern Group

00:59:38As for me

00:59:39I won't beat around the bush

00:59:40Your proposal

00:59:42I think

00:59:42Is excellent

00:59:44I will submit your proposal

00:59:45To the company leadership

00:59:46As soon as possible

00:59:47For further discussion

00:59:48Thank you

00:59:49Director He

00:59:51Rest assured

00:59:51I won't let you down

01:00:00Director

01:00:00Hey

01:00:01Take a look at this

01:00:20Vice manager Chen

01:00:21I'm sorry

01:00:22I won't be adopting

01:00:23The proposal you submitted

01:00:24Please leave

01:00:24Director He

01:00:26Why is that?

01:00:27Director He

01:00:28We were just having

01:00:30A great conversation

01:00:31What made you

01:00:32Suddenly change your mind?

01:00:33Did something go wrong?

01:00:35Vice manager Chen

01:00:36You know exactly

01:00:37What you've done

01:00:38You know it perfectly well

01:00:39There's no need for me

01:00:40To spell it out for you

01:00:41Is there?

01:00:41Wait

01:00:42Director He

01:00:42Since you're dead set

01:00:44Against this proposal

01:00:45Mind telling me why?

01:00:47At least let me understand

01:00:48Where the problem is

01:00:54Take a look for yourself

01:00:58Sean

01:00:59You still haven't grown up?

01:01:01Director He

01:01:01This presentation is slander

01:01:03Against me

01:01:04I can explain everything

01:01:05Save your explanations

01:01:07Vice manager Chen

01:01:09A scandal like this

01:01:10True or not

01:01:11Is nothing but trouble

01:01:12Even if I believe you

01:01:13Personally

01:01:14Do you think the higher ups will?

01:01:16Vice manager Chen

01:01:17In business

01:01:18We avoid trouble

01:01:19Whenever we can

01:01:20This collaboration is over

01:01:22Wait

01:01:23Director He

01:01:25Excuse me

01:01:26Director He

01:01:26Would you please

01:01:27Hear me out?

01:01:28Chloe

01:01:28Ms. Joe

01:01:29Director He

01:01:31I heard the whole thing

01:01:32Outside the door

01:01:33About that presentation

01:01:34It's clearly

01:01:35Malicious rumors

01:01:37Ethan and I go way back

01:01:39Given his character

01:01:41And skills

01:01:41You can trust him

01:01:42Completely

01:01:43You have my word

01:01:44With Ms. Joe's guarantee

01:01:47Well

01:01:47That does change things

01:01:49In that case

01:01:51Ethan

01:01:52Your proposal

01:01:53I'll submit it to the company

01:01:54For evaluation as usual

01:01:55As for the presentation issue

01:01:57We still need to clean up this mess

01:01:58And fast

01:01:59Director He

01:02:00Rest assured

01:02:01By the end of today

01:02:02I'll make sure that presentation

01:02:04Is gone for good

01:02:05Good

01:02:06I'll leave you two to talk

01:02:07I've got work

01:02:08So I'll get going

01:02:18Ethan

01:02:19Surprised?

01:02:20You said we'd never see each other again

01:02:22And yet

01:02:22Here we are

01:02:23Meeting again

01:02:24In any case

01:02:26Thanks for your help

01:02:27You don't seem the least bit surprised

01:02:29To see me here

01:02:31Or even curious

01:02:32About who I am now

01:02:33Chloe

01:02:34To be chosen by StarTech

01:02:36To lead this project

01:02:37I always do my homework

01:02:39On our potential partners

01:02:40When I was analyzing

01:02:41Eastern Group's

01:02:42Internal structure

01:02:43I noticed

01:02:43A board member

01:02:44With your last name

01:02:45Who looked like you

01:02:46I followed that lead

01:02:47And traced it

01:02:48Cross-referenced it

01:02:49With the company's

01:02:49Recent personnel announcements

01:02:51I knew you'd been promoted

01:02:53To vice manager

01:02:53Ages ago

01:02:57If you wanted to partner

01:02:58With Eastern Group

01:02:59Why not just come to me?

01:03:00I could've helped

01:03:03I'd rather rely on my own skills

01:03:04Than pull strings

01:03:05And right now

01:03:06Your clouded Eastern Group

01:03:07Can't be that great

01:03:09It would've been a waste of time

01:03:12You haven't changed a bit

01:03:14Still as sharp as ever

01:03:15Still brilliant

01:03:17Thanks

01:03:18Well then

01:03:19About the presentation

01:03:20You don't need my help

01:03:21With that, do you?

01:03:22No need

01:03:22I'm getting back now

01:03:23To deal with it

01:03:35Ethan

01:03:38I hope you win this bid

01:03:40Looking forward to working with you

01:03:45You can count on it

01:03:49Chloe, you've waited four years

01:03:51You've gotta hold it together

01:03:53Sean

01:03:54You're just unbelievable

01:03:56Once your presentation dropped

01:03:58Ethan doesn't stand a chance against you

01:03:59He's done for

01:04:01That vice manager spot is yours, Sean

01:04:03Vice manager?

01:04:04Please

01:04:05I came to StarTech

01:04:07To be the CEO

01:04:09Absolutely

01:04:10In that case

01:04:12I've got a little gift

01:04:13For our future CEO

01:04:17Ethan Chen

01:04:18You're dead

01:04:20Sean

01:04:21Calling you a simpleton

01:04:22Is putting it mildly

01:04:24Don't you think?

01:04:25I can see your ceiling

01:04:27Is right about here

01:04:28Today

01:04:29You're going to explain

01:04:30This presentation business to me

01:04:32Clearly

01:04:33What proof do you have

01:04:35That I did it?

01:04:35How dare you order me around?

01:04:37Proof?

01:04:39Do I need proof it was you?

01:04:41What's that supposed to mean?

01:04:43Sean

01:04:44Your slander against me

01:04:45Is just hearsay

01:04:46But the fact that you did

01:04:47Time in jail for assaulting me

01:04:49That's solid evidence

01:04:51You get that?

01:04:52The great Mr. Zhang?

01:04:54I'm sure the great Mr. Zhang

01:04:55Wouldn't want the whole company

01:04:57Let alone the entire industry

01:04:59To find out about

01:05:00Your glorious past, right?

01:05:02Wanna guess?

01:05:04If everyone in this industry

01:05:06Found out there's a

01:05:07Good-for-nothing ex-con

01:05:08Sitting in an office

01:05:09Trying to do business with them

01:05:11What do you think they'd do?

01:05:13Ethan

01:05:15Ethan

01:05:16Don't forget

01:05:17You dare expose my past?

01:05:19My past is just you

01:05:21Bullying me

01:05:22But there's nothing shameful

01:05:23About that

01:05:24Why should I feel ashamed

01:05:25Or guilty?

01:05:27The one who should be condemned

01:05:28Is the abuser

01:05:30Sean

01:05:30With that pea-sized brain of yours

01:05:33Maybe you should eat more walnuts

01:05:34These dirty tricks of yours

01:05:36Aren't you sick of them yet?

01:05:38Sean?

01:05:39You've got one hour

01:05:40To wipe that presentation

01:05:41Off the face of the earth

01:05:43If I see it being shared again

01:05:46Then that presentation

01:05:47Of your glorious past

01:05:49Will immediately go viral

01:05:51You too

01:05:52Get back to work

01:05:56Hey you

01:05:57Go get me a coffee

01:06:00Sean

01:06:01What are we supposed to do?

01:06:02Sean

01:06:03Maybe we should have some friends

01:06:04From the streets rough him up

01:06:05Yeah that's right

01:06:06You too my little fools

01:06:08Just do your jobs

01:06:09Get lost

01:06:10Let's go

01:06:11Let's go

01:06:13Ethan Chen

01:06:14I promise you won't be smiling for long

01:06:20Congratulations to both of you

01:06:21Both of your proposals

01:06:22Have made it to the final round

01:06:23Of evaluation at Eastern Group

01:06:25According to reliable sources

01:06:27Eastern Group will make its decision

01:06:28Tomorrow morning

01:06:29On the final winning proposal

01:06:30And the winner will be

01:06:31One of you too

01:06:32One of you

01:06:33You've both done outstanding work

01:06:34Thank you manager Wen

01:06:36I was just doing my job

01:06:38Management has decided

01:06:39To host a grand banquet tomorrow

01:06:41It'll also double

01:06:42As an awards ceremony

01:06:43To celebrate landing

01:06:44The partnership with Eastern Group

01:06:45Worth 50 million dollars

01:06:46A real cause for celebration

01:06:49We'll also be recognizing

01:06:50The key contributors

01:06:52Behind the winning proposal

01:06:54Now I know for you too

01:06:55This is good news and bad news

01:06:57All I can say

01:06:59Is good luck to you both

01:07:00Thank you for your well wishes

01:07:01Manager Wen

01:07:02However I don't believe in luck

01:07:04I believe in skill

01:07:07Manager Wen

01:07:08If Ethan loses it tomorrow

01:07:10When his hopes are dashed

01:07:11I'd be happy to handle

01:07:13The cleanup duty for you

01:07:15Manager Wen

01:07:16I'll get back to it

01:07:18Manager Wen

01:07:18I'll be going too

01:07:26Hey dad

01:07:28How's everything coming along?

01:07:29Don't worry

01:07:30Son

01:07:31It's all taken care of

01:07:32Thanks dad

01:07:44Don't worry

01:07:45Everything's under control

01:07:47Yeah

01:07:47Done

01:07:49Tomorrow at the banquet

01:07:50We'll see how it plays out

01:08:02You wanted to add me on WeChat

01:08:04Why not just ask me to my face

01:08:05Instead of adding me sneakily afterwards

01:08:07I was afraid you'd reject me

01:08:09Now I've found a good excuse

01:08:12I asked a friend to trace the source

01:08:14Of that slanderous presentation

01:08:15We found an IP address

01:08:17But it was fake

01:08:18So the rumor monger

01:08:19Is very careful

01:08:20It'll probably be hard

01:08:22For you to find direct evidence

01:08:23To sue

01:08:24Doesn't matter

01:08:25It's handled

01:08:26But thank you anyway

01:08:30Ethan Chen

01:08:31I

01:08:38Chloe Zhou

01:08:39Four years

01:08:40And you still can't get over me

01:08:49I don't have time

01:08:50For affairs of the heart right now

01:08:51Whether I stay or leave tomorrow

01:08:52The celebratory banquet is crucial

01:08:54I'm calling it a day

01:08:55And going to bed

01:08:59Time flies

01:09:01Chloe

01:09:02This is goodbye

01:09:04We will meet again

01:09:05No matter how long it takes

01:09:06I will make my way back to you

01:09:08Dad

01:09:08I want to work at Eastern Group

01:09:10Please help me

01:09:11With your lazy

01:09:12Unambitious attitude

01:09:13You still want to join the corporation?

01:09:18Dream on, Dad

01:09:20I'm serious

01:09:20Tell me what I need to do

01:09:22And I'll do it

01:09:22Are you serious?

01:09:24Yes

01:09:24Alright

01:09:25I'll help you

01:09:25But if you give up on this

01:09:27Halfway through

01:09:28Then from now on

01:09:29Never bring this up again

01:09:32Ethan

01:09:33I've worked very hard

01:09:34These past few years

01:09:35I studied abroad

01:09:36And came back

01:09:36To build my career here

01:09:38I'm not a bad student anymore

01:09:39Now am I qualified

01:09:41To enter your world?

01:09:43I've seen your resume

01:09:44Welcome to

01:09:46To the world of A students

01:09:48Ethan, I owe you too much

01:09:49For the rest of my life

01:09:51I'm truly under your thumb

01:09:53The purpose of today's victory celebration

01:09:55Should be clear to everyone here

01:09:57It's about whether we land the deal with Eastern Group

01:10:00And the selection of the vice manager

01:10:03Now before the celebration begins

01:10:05Let's all give a warm round of applause

01:10:07To welcome today's guest of honor

01:10:09Mr. Liu

01:10:12Mr. Liu came in person

01:10:13Looks like the company really values this partnership

01:10:15You said it

01:10:17Chairman Howard has been on sick leave for a year

01:10:18Mr. Zhao is already the one in charge

01:10:20I think it's only a matter of time

01:10:22Before Mr. Liu joins the board of directors

01:10:26Thank you for the welcome

01:10:27Today, I'm very pleased

01:10:29Because StarTech has landed the partnership with Eastern Group

01:10:32Of course, that's thanks to everyone's hard work

01:10:35At the same time

01:10:36Today is also heartbreaking for me

01:10:38Because today is also the day

01:10:40We decide the fate of our two outstanding young talents

01:10:42Who stays and who leaves

01:10:45Losing either one would be a tragedy

01:10:47The company simply doesn't have enough management positions to offer

01:10:50And neither of these young people

01:10:52Should have to settle for less

01:10:54Therefore, these two young people

01:10:56Must prove themselves with their abilities

01:10:57Mr. Liu, the result from Eastern Group

01:11:00Should be coming in any minute now

01:11:01Okay

01:11:06Don't worry, Sean

01:11:08Everything's set

01:11:09We'll make sure Ethan is utterly humiliated

01:11:15Ethan

01:11:16Tell me, doesn't this feel just like back when we got our exam results?

01:11:21Yeah, it really does

01:11:23And today's outcome will be exactly the same

01:11:27This time

01:11:28You're definitely going to lose

01:11:31Mr. Liu

01:11:31From Eastern Group, Director He is on the line

01:11:34Hello, this is Leo Liu

01:11:36To think it's Mr. Liu himself taking my call

01:11:38I'm truly honored

01:11:39I'm from Eastern Group

01:11:41The person in charge of this bidding process

01:11:42Don Hai

01:11:44I'm calling to inform you that after evaluation

01:11:46One of your proposals has been selected

01:11:48We at Eastern Group are very much looking forward to working with StarTech

01:11:51Excellent, Director He

01:11:53So, which proposal did you ultimately choose?

01:11:56Let me see

01:11:57It's the one code named the RY proposal

01:12:00RY is my proposal

01:12:03But whose proposal is the RY one?

01:12:05What are you so worked up about?

01:12:07We don't know

01:12:07But surely management knows, right?

01:12:10Alright, thank you

01:12:11Alright then

01:12:12We'll stay in touch

01:12:15The dust has settled

01:12:18The RY project has won the bid

01:12:22The person in charge of the RY project is a great asset to the company

01:12:27And logically should be promoted to Vice Manager of the Department

01:12:31So, let's congratulate the person in charge of the RY project

01:12:36Sean, you lost again

01:12:38Sean

01:12:44Ethan

01:12:45You're the one who lost

01:12:48Ms. Jo

01:12:49You're here

01:12:50Don

01:12:51You're in charge of the proposal

01:12:52Any word on the bidding results?

01:12:54The results are in, Ms. Jo

01:12:56You're so invested

01:12:57Is it because of Vice Manager Chen?

01:12:59Something like that

01:13:01So

01:13:02So, which one won?

01:13:03It's RY

01:13:06RY?

01:13:08So, it's Ethan's proposal

01:13:11Excellent

01:13:11Right

01:13:12I know, it's Vice Manager Chen's proposal

01:13:14However, I heard that at StarTech

01:13:16The person in charge of this project is listed as

01:13:19Sean Zhang

01:13:21As long as it doesn't affect implementation

01:13:23We at the Eastern Group won't interfere

01:13:25What?

01:13:27How can it be Sean?

01:13:32RY is clearly my proposal

01:13:34How did it end up as Sean's?

01:13:35Mr. Liu

01:13:36Manager Wen

01:13:37What on earth is going on?

01:13:39Did something go wrong?

01:13:41Ethan

01:13:41You said that for the RY project

01:13:43You were the one in charge

01:13:45But it clearly states here

01:13:47That the project lead is Sean Zhang

01:13:50Manager Wen

01:13:52Explain this

01:13:52Mr. Liu

01:13:54I've made myself perfectly clear to you

01:13:56I'm not willing to cooperate with you in telling this lie

01:13:58The proposal is Ethan's

01:14:00But you're giving all the credit to Sean

01:14:02There's nothing I can do about it

01:14:04You really are ungrateful

01:14:06That's why

01:14:07After all these years

01:14:08You're still just a Junior Operations Manager

01:14:11For a measly Vice Manager position

01:14:12You're throwing away your own future

01:14:14Is it worth it?

01:14:16So that's it

01:14:17Sean

01:14:19So you're the boss's pet

01:14:21So Ethan's proposal really was stolen by Sean

01:14:24That's outrageous

01:14:25So Sean really is the boss's pet

01:14:27It seems the Vice Manager position

01:14:29Was just a stepping stone for him

01:14:30What's all the noise?

01:14:32Since that's the case

01:14:33There's no need to pretend anymore

01:14:34Ethan

01:14:35Pack your things immediately

01:14:38You're fired

01:14:38Sean

01:14:39This is a setup by you

01:14:41This open competition from the very beginning

01:14:44Was your means of revenge

01:14:45Ethan, I told you

01:14:47This isn't the ivory tower

01:14:49It's not like back then

01:14:50When exams were simple

01:14:52Mr. Liu is my own uncle

01:14:54Back then

01:14:55Ethan bullied you so badly

01:14:57As your uncle

01:14:58Of course I have to help you get even

01:15:01With just one word from me

01:15:02The entire industry will blacklist him

01:15:05Leo, you're just a company's general manager

01:15:07You haven't even set foot in the boardroom

01:15:10By doing this

01:15:11Aren't you afraid that if word of this

01:15:13Gets to the chairman of StarTech

01:15:15You won't be able to handle the consequences?

01:15:18Anyone who tries to take this to the chairman

01:15:21Will be fired

01:15:25Ethan

01:15:26You see, no one is willing to help you

01:15:28As a lowly employee

01:15:30What can you possibly do to us?

01:15:33Not necessarily

01:15:36I wouldn't be so sure

01:15:40You're the vice manager at Eastern Group

01:15:41Ms. Joe

01:15:42I'm surprised you know who I am, Mr. Liu

01:15:45Exactly

01:15:46Your little chat with Sean

01:15:48Just now I heard the whole thing

01:15:49Let me cut to the chase

01:15:51About the RY proposal you won this time

01:15:53I know full well

01:15:55That it was done by vice manager Chen

01:15:57But you went and replaced the follow-up contact with Sean

01:16:01I'm fully aware of Sean's past

01:16:03He's not capable of handling this project

01:16:07As the representative of Eastern Group

01:16:09I'm deeply concerned that your actions will hurt the interests of Eastern Group

01:16:12If you don't correct this right now

01:16:15I'll inform the board of directors at Eastern Group

01:16:18And get them to cancel our cooperation with you

01:16:21Chloe, are you out of your mind?

01:16:23That Ethan Chen used you

01:16:25And then dumped you?

01:16:26And you're still on his side?

01:16:28Ms. Joe

01:16:29Do you realize what consequences this could have for both of us?

01:16:33I know exactly what I'm doing

01:16:34This is the right thing to do

01:16:39And it's a choice I should have made a long time ago

01:16:43Since you see it that way

01:16:46Then I get it

01:16:47I trust you, Mr. Liu

01:16:49We'll make the right choice

01:16:50So here's my choice

01:16:52Even if the deal falls through

01:16:54I won't keep that fool Ethan in the company

01:16:56What? What?

01:16:58Mr. Liu, do you have any idea what you're saying?

01:17:01Mr. Liu, don't forget

01:17:03This is a $50 million contract

01:17:06As the company's general manager

01:17:08Instead of protecting the company's interest

01:17:10You're covering for your relative, Sean

01:17:12Costing the company a fortune

01:17:14That's gross misconduct

01:17:16Ethan

01:17:18The company's losses

01:17:19Are none of my concern

01:17:21StarTech isn't my private property

01:17:23Even if the deal falls through

01:17:25It doesn't affect my stable income

01:17:26The real problem is you, Ethan

01:17:29You're staying on because of this contract

01:17:31How does that make me look as the general manager?

01:17:35How am I supposed to lead this entire company from now on?

01:17:40Quite the power play, Mr. Liu

01:17:42Ethan, and as for you, get out of here

01:17:44Now

01:17:45If you have a problem with my decision

01:17:47You can get out as well

01:17:50StarTech doesn't lack for talent

01:17:52Vice Manager Chen

01:17:54At Eastern Group, we'd welcome talent like yours

01:17:57Wendy, if you're interested, we'd welcome you too

01:17:59I'll put in a strong word for you

01:18:03Let's go

01:18:06Chloe

01:18:07I appreciate the offer

01:18:09Really

01:18:10But the real show is about to begin

01:18:13Leaving now would be far too early

01:18:15Show?

01:18:16Leo

01:18:17Quite the show of authority

01:18:20Mr. Liu

01:18:21Quite a show of authority

01:18:23Chairman Howard

01:18:24What brings you here all of a sudden?

01:18:26Huh?

01:18:27Not happy to see this old man?

01:18:29Of course not, Chairman Howard

01:18:30Chairman Howard, this is your company after all

01:18:33How could we not welcome you?

01:18:34It's just that for the past year, you've been on medical leave

01:18:37And all company affairs have been handled by your special assistant

01:18:40Your sudden arrival took me by surprise

01:18:42Mostly, I'm just worried about your health

01:18:44Next time you come, give me a heads up

01:18:47So I can have someone receive you

01:18:49Alright, I'm getting old

01:18:51I've been on medical leave for over a year

01:18:54And, oh, coming to my own company

01:18:56My presence here

01:18:59Well, it doesn't carry quite the same weight as yours, Mr. Liu

01:19:03Oh, Chairman Howard, you must be joking

01:19:06Ah

01:19:07So, about this celebratory banquet

01:19:09What's the plan?

01:19:11And them

01:19:11Why is everyone so on edge?

01:19:14Mr. Liu

01:19:16I...

01:19:17These irrelevant people

01:19:18I tried to kick them out, but they refused to leave

01:19:21Security

01:19:22Get these people out of here

01:19:23Get them out of the Chairman's sight

01:19:26Chairman Howard

01:19:27I'm Chloe Joe

01:19:28Vice Manager at Eastern Group

01:19:30I wish to report Leo Liu for his despicable actions

01:19:33Which have infringed upon the rights and interests of StarTech

01:19:37Chloe Joe

01:19:38Cut the crap right here

01:19:40This is StarTech territory

01:19:41Not your Eastern Group

01:19:43Chairman Howard, please just hear me out

01:19:45Oh, so you must be Ms. Joe

01:19:48Mr. Liu is right

01:19:50You are an outsider after all

01:19:52It's not your place to comment on our company's internal affairs and point fingers

01:19:57Chairman Howard

01:19:58This old fool

01:20:00He's truly losing his mind

01:20:02Security

01:20:03Leo

01:20:04What's the hurry?

01:20:05I'm not done

01:20:07Chairman Howard

01:20:08What else do you need, sir?

01:20:10If an outsider can't speak up

01:20:11Then our own people should be allowed to

01:20:14Shouldn't they?

01:20:16You speak

01:20:17Now, Chairman Howard

01:20:19He...

01:20:20Is even less fit to speak

01:20:21He's an employee of the company

01:20:23One who was just fired

01:20:24He's in a dispute with the company right now

01:20:26Hey

01:20:27What did you just say?

01:20:29You said that he was fired?

01:20:32That's right

01:20:32Oh, come on

01:20:34That's nonsense

01:20:35What gives you the right to fire him?

01:20:37Assistant Chen

01:20:38Didn't you tell Mr. Liu who you are?

01:20:40You're the assistant I sent here

01:20:42My personal assistant

01:20:43Chen

01:20:44Assistant Chen

01:20:46Chairman Howard

01:20:47Have you forgotten that I'm the employee you planted inside the company to conduct an inspection?

01:20:53That's right

01:20:54I must be getting forgetful in my old age

01:20:57Ethan Chen was here on an internal inspection

01:20:59So, of course, he couldn't introduce himself right away

01:21:03Chairman Howard, but I think the inspection is over

01:21:06So it's time for me to introduce myself to everyone

01:21:10Hello, everyone

01:21:11I'm Ethan Chen

01:21:13The Chairman's Special Assistant

01:21:15For the past year, I've been working here at StarTech

01:21:18Assisting the Chairman with Corporate Affairs

01:21:22Today is my first official introduction to you all

01:21:25I look forward to

01:21:27Working with you

01:21:28You... you're the mysterious special assistant?

01:21:31Ethan

01:21:32How the hell could you be StarTech's Chairman's Special Assistant?

01:21:36Sean

01:21:38Surprised?

01:21:39After eight long years, you're still dancing to my tune

01:21:42Around in circles

01:21:43Ethan, you...

01:21:46Assistant Chen

01:21:47Look, we've had our share of misunderstandings

01:21:50Let me make it up to you with a dinner

01:21:52We can clear the air

01:21:53How about it?

01:21:55Mr. Liu, that's generous

01:21:56But right now, I need to report my findings to the Chairman

01:21:59Go ahead

01:22:01Tell us what you found during your inspection

01:22:03I found that General Manager Leo Liu

01:22:06Within the company

01:22:07Has been acting like a tyrant

01:22:08Completely lawless

01:22:10He should be removed from his position

01:22:12Seriously?

01:22:13Chairman Howard

01:22:14There's got to be a big misunderstanding here

01:22:17Don't you dare try to deny it

01:22:18Every single person here is a witness

01:22:21In order to place your relative Sean

01:22:23You bullied your colleagues

01:22:25Stole their credit

01:22:26And even harmed the company's interests

01:22:29Every single one of these things is right here

01:22:31In black and white

01:22:32The company won't just fire you

01:22:34We'll also hold you accountable for embezzling company funds

01:22:38Chairman Howard, I can testify

01:22:41What are you standing around for?

01:22:42The chairman's right here?

01:22:43Why are you still scared of Leo?

01:22:45Chairman, I can testify

01:22:46I can testify too

01:22:49Well, well, well

01:22:51With the tiger gone from the mountain

01:22:53The monkey thinks he's the king

01:22:55Leo

01:22:57You've completely betrayed the trust I placed in you

01:22:59Is this how you repay me for my patronage?

01:23:03Effective immediately, you're fired

01:23:05Sam, get him out of my sight

01:23:07And have everything in his office sealed

01:23:09It's all evidence

01:23:11He is not to take a single thing

01:23:14Yes, sir

01:23:17You old fool

01:23:18I'm the general manager here

01:23:20You can't just fire me without a board vote

01:23:23Leo Liu

01:23:24Are you deaf?

01:23:26Ethan just laid out so much evidence

01:23:29Which one isn't enough to get you fired?

01:23:32So I hired a relative, I admit it

01:23:34As the GM

01:23:36Bringing a relative into the company

01:23:39What's the big deal?

01:23:41Who on the board hasn't done the same?

01:23:44You think that's enough to convince the board to fire me?

01:23:47Dream on

01:23:48Leo Liu

01:23:50And for Sean

01:23:51You sabotaged StarTech's deal with the Eastern Group

01:23:53A $50 million partnership

01:23:55Harming our company's interests

01:23:58Where's the proof?

01:23:59We are all witnesses

01:24:00You're all connected to Ethan and

01:24:04Suspected of collusion

01:24:05You think your so-called evidence is enough to pin this on me?

01:24:10Dream on

01:24:11Well, well, well

01:24:12Leo Liu

01:24:13You've got some nerve

01:24:15Ethan

01:24:16What do you suggest we do?

01:24:18Chairman Howard

01:24:19Don't you worry

01:24:20I've got proof

01:24:21Just now everything Leo Liu said and did

01:24:24Every single word in action

01:24:26Has been recorded

01:24:27Ethan

01:24:28Cut the crap

01:24:29This celebratory banquet was arranged by my trusted people

01:24:34You think you could sneak in a hidden camera to film me to scare me?

01:24:38You're not even close

01:24:39Mr. Liu is right

01:24:41Before this meeting started, I did indeed

01:24:45Go to a lot of trouble

01:24:46Ha ha ha

01:24:48See?

01:24:48I told you you can't touch me

01:24:50I wasn't finished

01:24:53But I did indeed get the video evidence

01:24:55If Mr. Liu doesn't believe me, please look at the screen

01:25:02Ethan

01:25:04What does the company's loss have to do with me?

01:25:07StarTech isn't my private property

01:25:09Even if the deal's dead, it doesn't affect me

01:25:11I have a stable income

01:25:13But you, Ethan

01:25:15You stayed because of that contract

01:25:17How am I, the GM, supposed to save face?

01:25:21How can I manage the entire company from now on?

01:25:25How did you do it?

01:25:27You can thank your dear nephew

01:25:31Sean for that

01:25:32Sean, what's going on?

01:25:35I

01:25:36Allow me

01:25:37Sean, before this meeting even started

01:25:40Sent his two goons to plant a hidden camera

01:25:43And live streamed everything that happened here

01:25:45His little scheme was simple

01:25:47To broadcast my angry reaction after he stole my credit

01:25:51And stream my angry face live for revenge

01:25:55For that time during the big exam

01:25:57When I humiliated him on a live stream

01:26:00But he miscalculated two things

01:26:02First

01:26:04I'm not just some regular employee

01:26:06I'm the chairman's special assistant

01:26:09Second

01:26:10I've had my eyes on him

01:26:11And on his two little lapdogs all along

01:26:13So the moment the stream started

01:26:15I knew

01:26:16Getting my hands on this evidence

01:26:19Was a piece of cake

01:26:20Uncle

01:26:23I didn't mean to

01:26:24You fool

01:26:26Utterly useless

01:26:27And only good for messing things up, you fool

01:26:31Chairman Howard, we just received word

01:26:33The board has unanimously voted to fire Leo Liu

01:26:35And to press charges for dereliction of duty and embezzlement

01:26:38Well done

01:26:39Sam, do it

01:26:40Get them out of my sight

01:26:42Yes

01:26:46Chairman Howard, Chairman Howard, please

01:26:47Have mercy

01:26:48Chairman Howard, please

01:26:49I'm begging you

01:26:50I can't lose my job

01:26:51Chairman Howard

01:26:52You old fool

01:26:53You can't touch me

01:26:54I've been a pillar of this company

01:26:55I've earned my place here

01:26:56Old fool

01:26:57Let's go

01:26:58You can't do this

01:26:59Chairman Howard

01:26:59Give me another chance

01:27:00Chairman Howard

01:27:01I can't lose this job

01:27:02Chairman Howard

01:27:03I can't

01:27:09Ethan, are you okay?

01:27:12I'm fine

01:27:13Sean

01:27:14How much lower can you possibly sink?

01:27:17Ethan Chen

01:27:19For the rest of my life, I will never spare you

01:27:21Even if I go to hell

01:27:22I'm taking you with me

01:27:24You won't get that chance

01:27:25This is intentional assault

01:27:27Take him to security

01:27:31Everyone listen up

01:27:32Ethan Chen has done an outstanding job

01:27:35Ethan, if it weren't for you

01:27:38Our company would have been ruined by that fool

01:27:40Leo Liu

01:27:41Completely ruined

01:27:43I was just doing my duty

01:27:45Chairman

01:27:46After this inspection ended

01:27:48I had a very pleasant surprise

01:27:50Faced with Leo Liu's pressure and bribes

01:27:52Manager Wen still stood her ground firmly

01:27:54And refused to yield

01:27:55After a month of observation

01:27:57I am certain that Manager Wen

01:28:00Is a courageous and determined employee

01:28:02As a department manager

01:28:04It's a bit of a waste of her talent

01:28:06With your recommendation, Manager Wen

01:28:08I'll have a word with the HR department

01:28:10I'll take care of it

01:28:12We'll promote you to

01:28:13General Manager of a branch office

01:28:15In due time

01:28:16You will take over Leo Liu's position

01:28:18Thank you, Chairman Howard

01:28:20I won't let you down

01:28:21I promise

01:28:22Ethan Chen

01:28:23Oh right, Assistant Chen

01:28:25I should thank you even more

01:28:26Manager Wen

01:28:27You earned it

01:28:29And your mother did a great job raising you

01:28:31What?

01:28:33You know my mother?

01:28:35What?

01:28:35You know my mom?

01:28:36Just once, briefly

01:28:37Not a big deal

01:28:38Ethan

01:28:39Your injuries

01:28:40Wanna go get checked out at the hospital first?

01:28:42Okay

01:28:50Ethan, I'll get back to work now

01:28:54If you need anything, just let me know

01:29:02Not leaving

01:29:03Not saying anything either

01:29:09I was thinking

01:29:10If I went to the hospital with you

01:29:12Would that be too pushy?

01:29:14A bit, yeah

01:29:18You know

01:29:19I'm ruthless

01:29:20I'm good at turning people down

01:29:27What?

01:29:28Scared to follow?

01:29:33What's to be afraid of?

01:29:36This time

01:29:38It's your turn to enter my world

01:29:45The road ahead is long

01:29:46No need to rush your decision

01:29:49Ethan

01:29:51You just enjoy your life

01:29:52If you listen to what I like
