Transcript

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.

00:00:28Even if he aces it, which school he goes to, whose program he joins, I 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, never 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.

00:01:54Unfortunately, I was born into a messed up family.

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

00:02:00And had his precious daughter.

00:02:03Ethan!

00:02:04Ethan!

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 hellhole.

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.

00:03:01The brakes failed.

00:03:05You okay?

00:03:07You okay?

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

00:03:15Even I could tell that Chloe was up to something.

00:03:18But so what?

00:03:19My first 21 years were drab, pretty bleak, just my stepfather's fists, my mother's schemes, and the endless grind of

00:03:27studying.

00:03:41What do you think you're doing?

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

00:03:52Do 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.

00:04:33She 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, then 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?

00:06:10Ethan, 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.

00:06:25So this is what you want?

00:06:26Yes, Ethan.

00:06:27Promise me, okay?

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

00:06:32Before, 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 going to 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 going to 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

00:07:29is Ethan.

00:07:36You asking for a beating?

00:07:39Hit me.

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

00:07:43All these years of grievances,

00:07:45I'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.

00:07:54Don't go.

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

00:08:03Kiss me.

00:08:04What?

00:08:05I know Chloe 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, heaven 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.

00:09:06Ethan Chen, you've been nodding off in class every day lately

00:09:09and 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.

00:09:22The bar they go to is owned by my cousin.

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

00:09:25Stop 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,

00:09:47what 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.

00:10:13But I 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?

00:10:28Okay.

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,

00:10:53he gets a taste for it and always wants more.

00:10:56But I've learned from experience that it's actually women

00:10:59who are

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

00:11:03Once 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?

00:11:46Just like that?

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

00:11:50Anyway,

00:11:51I've got a nail appointment.

00:11:52Gotta run.

00:11:53Let'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?

00:12:09Spending time with the one you love.

00:12:10Doing what you love.

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

00:12:16Plus,

00:12:17if I'm not spending my time with my girlfriend,

00:12:19what 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,

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

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

00:12:39There was something else.

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

00:12:44Today

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,

00:13:08you dump him the second he does.

00:13:10We already agreed on this.

00:13:12After we ruin Ethan,

00:13:14we'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,

00:13:24I gained the leverage to make her fall deeper into my trap.

00:13:32Whenever she got cozy with another guy,

00:13:34I'd just bury myself in my books.

00:13:47Chloe 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.

00:14:00Sean and I,

00:14:01I returned the favor in kind.

00:14:05Made sure I came in dead last on every mock exam.

00:14:10Chloe.

00:14:11Her most beautiful, vibrant years

00:14:13belonged 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,

00:14:23you 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,

00:14:30you're not actually into him,

00:14:31are 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,

00:14:41you'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,

00:14:52don't think for a second I don't know

00:14:53what you've been doing for him.

00:14:56Say something.

00:14:57What did we do?

00:15:00Of course,

00:15:01what 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,

00:15:16I always like to take the lead.

00:15:18Like an animal marking its territory,

00:15:21it's a way of claiming possession.

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

00:15:26How could she still prefer

00:15:27Sean's slow,

00:15:28steady 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.

00:15:56Didn't we agree to check our scores together today?

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

00:16:00What's the rush?

00:16:01So what if not everyone's here?

00:16:03But you,

00:16:03on the other hand,

00:16:04the guy who's second to last,

00:16:06why are you here so bright and early?

00:16:09Well,

00:16:10things can't get any worse.

00:16:12Might 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,

00:16:25wouldn't it?

00:16:25Then your principal dad?

00:16:27Must be over the moon.

00:16:29So you called us all here

00:16:31to check our scores together

00:16:32just to witness your big moment?

00:16:33Is that it?

00:16:34What?

00:16:36Jealous?

00:16:36Just say it.

00:16:37Jealous?

00:16:45Chloe,

00:16:46your lipstick's smudged.

00:16:53Come on,

00:16:54hurry up.

00:16:55Get over here.

00:16:56Come here.

00:16:56The camera,

00:16:58the spot,

00:16:59and the live stream

00:17:00all set.

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

00:17:02Sound?

00:17:03Everything.

00:17:04All good.

00:17:05No issues.

00:17:06Good.

00:17:08Why are you just standing there?

00:17:09Get in.

00:17:10Sit down.

00:17:11Now.

00:17:12Scores come out at nine.

00:17:14So,

00:17:14the principal doesn't just want us

00:17:16to witness Sean's moment of glory.

00:17:18He wants to broadcast it

00:17:19to the whole world.

00:17:21Ethan,

00:17:22I told you,

00:17:23sooner or later,

00:17:24I'd wipe that smug grin off your face.

00:17:27Tonight,

00:17:27when the scores drop at nine,

00:17:29you just watch.

00:17:30I'll show you how I grind you

00:17:32into the dirt.

00:17:33This setup is even bigger

00:17:34than I thought.

00:17:36Makes me look forward

00:17:37to it even more.

00:17:38It's starting soon.

00:17:39Let's have a seat.

00:17:40All right.

00:17:46Everyone,

00:17:48the moment of truth is here.

00:17:50Today,

00:17:51all our students

00:17:52are checking their scores together.

00:17:54Please come up to the podium

00:17:55in order of your student ID numbers.

00:17:58Your results will be displayed

00:18:00on this big screen.

00:18:01For this exam,

00:18:02the student who places first

00:18:04will be chosen

00:18:05by our professor Zhang

00:18:06for direct admission.

00:18:08So,

00:18:11everyone will witness

00:18:12your triumphant moment.

00:18:17Without further delay,

00:18:19let's get started.

00:18:48402 points.

00:18:50Dad,

00:18:51that's two points higher

00:18:52than I estimated.

00:18:58Son,

00:18:59with this score,

00:19:01I'll definitely be chosen

00:19:02by Professor Zhang.

00:19:03Directly admitted.

00:19:04Ha ha ha.

00:19:09Next up,

00:19:10Ethan Chen.

00:19:11Ethan,

00:19:12what's the holdup?

00:19:13We're all waiting.

00:19:15Fine.

00:19:21Ethan,

00:19:22don't worry.

00:19:23You failed this time.

00:19:24There's always next time.

00:19:25You may have failed,

00:19:27but I passed.

00:19:29Oh,

00:19:29there's always a next time.

00:19:31But you probably won't pass then,

00:19:32either.

00:19:41To be continued...

00:19:58To be continued...

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.

00:20:37Hello, Mr. Lee.

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

00:20:42What proof do you have?

00:20:44Something 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?

00:20:55Did your grades drop because you were dating Ms. Jo?

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

00:21:00You 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 Jo is Sean's girlfriend, the campus bell.

00:21:15Sean 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.

00:21:25Chloe 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,

00:21:33played along with the scheming girlfriend, sent his way,

00:21:35and then got into Crestwood University.

00:21:37And it's all live.

00:21:39Mr. Zhang,

00:21:40is what Nina just revealed true?

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

00:21:45I...

00:21:46Principal Zhang, answer our questions.

00:21:48No, no, no, no. Stop filming. Stop 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 and review notes from these past few years

00:22:03into a book for publication.

00:22:05Any 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. Li, let's talk somewhere else.

00:22:16All right, follow me.

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

00:22:30Ethan!

00:22:35Ethan!

00:22:37Ethan, wait for me!

00:22:40Ethan!

00:22:47Ethan, your family situation, we are aware of it, prior to your enrollment.

00:22:51You'll stay here for now.

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

00:22:55Thank you, Mr. Li.

00:22:56No problem.

00:22:57Then we'll see you at school.

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

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

00:23:10Perfect timing.

00:23:12I've received contact info from over a dozen publishers,

00:23:15so I can start comparing their offers.

00:23:35Hello?

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

00:23:38Put it on speaker.

00:23:39Put it on speaker.

00:23:40Oh, right, right, right.

00:23:42More dial pad.

00:23:43Ethan, it's dad.

00:23:45Did you get the scholarship this time?

00:23:50Yeah.

00:23:51At least $500,000.

00:23:53$500,000.

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.

00:24:05Does that mean you can buy me concert tickets?

00:24:07All you think about is concerts.

00:24:09We 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.

00:24:46That hellhole?

00:24:47That's not my home.

00:24:49I'm never going back there.

00:24:51What?

00:24:52Ethan 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.

00:25:05Dad?

00:25:05Mom?

00:25:08That.

00:25:09The one who came home drunk every day and 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 to sign that kidney donation agreement.

00:25:20The reporters.

00:25:21Just so you could make a huge profit.

00:25:23Or maybe that sister who never saw me as her brother.

00:25:26Spoiled rotten by you.

00:25:28That sister, Amy.

00:25:30Olly!

00:25:31Ethan.

00:25:32Ethan Chen?

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

00:25:36Don't you know your 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.

00:25:47All 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.

00:25:54This will always be your home.

00:25:56If you don't come home,

00:25:58where else could you go?

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

00:26:01What's more,

00:26:02I got into the top university

00:26:03and the hottest major.

00:26:05My hard work and talent

00:26:06are going to bring me countless successes.

00:26:09Just like today,

00:26:10you're begging me to come home.

00:26:12Let me tell you something.

00:26:13I'm going to expose your abuse to the whole world.

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

00:26:20Ethan.

00:26:22Hey.

00:26:23Hey, Ethan.

00:26:25All right, all right, all right.

00:26:27That little bastard.

00:26:29I'm going to 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

00:26:40how good they had it, huh?

00:26:41Yeah.

00:26:42They had it coming.

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

00:26:46They've always favored their own daughter.

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

00:26:51No.

00:26:52Keep filming.

00:26:53Stop.

00:26:54Stop filming.

00:26:55I said stop filming.

00:26:57Get out.

00:26:57You hear me?

00:26:58Get lost now.

00:27:00Everyone out, out.

00:27:01The farther you go, the better.

00:27:03Don't ever come back.

00:27:04Get lost.

00:27:05Get out.

00:27:06Get out now.

00:27:07How dare you defy me?

00:27:09Ethan, you 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.

00:27:53You 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?

00:27:59Okay.

00:28:02But by doing this, aren't you afraid Sean will be furious?

00:28:06The 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, so I agreed to that bet with Sean.

00:28:20But I really regret it now.

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

00:28:25Every day I spent with you, I slowly came to understand my own heart.

00:28:29I like you.

00:28:30I really, really like you.

00:28:33Let'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.

00:28:49Ethan.

00:28:50You poor dog.

00:28:52You really think you can beat me?

00:28:54Let me tell you something.

00:28:55Don't get too cocky.

00:28:57You got into Crestwood University.

00:28:58Became Professor Zhang's student.

00:29:00Big deal.

00:29:01You're just an aunt.

00:29:02I have plenty of ways to crush you.

00:29:05And Chloe.

00:29:06Do 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, he'll toss you aside like trash and cast you aside.

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

00:29:23You hear me?

00:29:25Ethan, I 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, dreaming of things I didn't deserve.

00:29:54So he brought his goons and cornered me in the bathroom and 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.

00:30:08Why 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 give up the top spot.

00:30:27Then why the hell would he send you, his campus bell childhood sweetheart, to my side?

00:30:31Ever wonder?

00:30:33Why?

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

00:30:36Because every other move he made, I 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, right?

00:31:05Ethan, you there?

00:31:07Don't look so shocked.

00:31:09This time around, I wanted Sean to hit me.

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

00:31:20I'm done playing.

00:31:22Sean, what are you talking about?

00:31:25My dad said,

00:31:26For someone like you who can't take a hint, out of sight, out of mind.

00:31:31Why get my hands dirty?

00:31:32Since over and over again, you just won't take a hint.

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

00:31:48See, life's just this hard when you're poor.

00:31:52All these years, I've taken all those beatings from Sean, all because I wanted to study hard and find a

00:31:58way out.

00:31:58But people like him, with just a single word, blocked my path.

00:32:04But I refuse to accept that.

00:32:06I'm gonna make Sean lay hands on me one more time.

00:32:09To get Sean to make the first move, I went all out on that exam and beat him by over

00:32:1440 points.

00:32:33Ah, Sean!

00:32:35If we keep hitting him, something 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.

00:32:50Why 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, what happened to you?

00:33:18You- were you robbed?

00:33:20Ma'am?

00:33:21Can you help me?

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

00:33:26Ma'am, I can go to the hospital myself.

00:33:29What I want is this.

00:33:30So you want the USB drive from the dash cam?

00:33:33The whole thing was recorded?

00:33:34It's all on here.

00:33:37Okay, I'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.

00:33:56You got beaten up this bad.

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

00:34:02Then just tell me who 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, but Principal Zhang, in a small place like ours, is 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.

00:34:47I have kids, too.

00:34:50Here's the USB drive.

00:34:51Take it.

00:34:54You need to save yourself.

00:35:00Thank you, ma'am.

00:35:02This video here.

00:35:04I risked my life for it, scheming 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, in that alley, I checked every single car.

00:35:17One by one.

00:35:19In the end, I 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.

00:35:30The most recent one, you could tell her daughter was 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 and has to have a soft heart, right?

00:35:42So when Sean started swinging, I fought like hell to put myself right in front of her dash cam.

00:35:48Right 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, even though fate never favored me, it was still intimidated by my ruthlessness.

00:36:16After that, things were simple.

00:36:18The dash cam caught Sean assaulting me, clear as day.

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

00:36:27then this video would be posted on every website and ruin his reputation.

00:36:33But by doing that, aren'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.

00:36:46I'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.

00:37:13That's just as despicable and vicious.

00:37:20Sean was right.

00:37:22I do want revenge on him.

00:37:24Why should the victim be trapped for life while the abuser gets to live carefree?

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

00:37:33I want him to spend his time in there every minute, every second, remembering everything he's lost.

00:37:39For every slap he landed on my face.

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

00:37:45It's what goes around, comes around.

00:37:48He's getting what he deserves.

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

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

00:37:59Of course.

00:38:00I liked your body.

00:38:01I liked your face.

00:38:03But I never cared about you.

00:38:08Please leave.

00:38:11Ethan, no, I'm not leaving.

00:38:13Get out.

00:38:14Get out.

00:38:17Get out.

00:38:31Get out.

00:38:32Get out.

00:38:34Get out.

00:38:37Get out.

00:38:38Get out.

00:38:39Get out.

00:38:40Get out.

00:38:42Get out.

00:38:43Get out.

00:38:45Get out.

00:38:46Get out.

00:38:47Get out.

00:38:48Get out.

00:38:58Don't worry, Ethan.

00:38:59The video evidence you gave us is enough to charge Shan 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, all right?

00:39:09And get some rest.

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

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, you've got to keep living toward the sun.

00:39:32Thank you to all the members of the press for coming to Bright Sun Publishing's new book signing event for

00:39:37Ethan Chen.

00:39:39Let's give a warm round of applause as we welcome Ethan to say a few words.

00:39:47Hello, everyone.

00:39:49I'm Ethan Chen.

00:39:50I'm very grateful to all of you for coming to support me today.

00:39:53To be here today, I'm so excited and happy.

00:39:56This book tells my own story, along with the lessons from my years of study.

00:40:00But I believe there must be many people like me with 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, I truly couldn't sleep all night.

00:40:13It's hard to imagine that at such a young age, you'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, I went through two whole boxes of tissues.

00:40:25When you wrote about your family of origin, I really related to it.

00:40:29I grew up in an unhappy family, beaten by my dad, and neglected by my mom.

00:40:34I believe your book will definitely inspire others with similar experiences.

00:40:40I think... Dad? Mom?

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, now...

00:41:01What are you doing?

00:41:01Security!

00:41:07Ladies and gentlemen, we are Ethan's parents.

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

00:41:13Lies?

00:41:14What lies?

00:41:17Everything in this book is a lie.

00:41:20Not a single word is true.

00:41:22It's all garbage.

00:41:26Everyone, at home.

00:41:27We did spoil our daughter a little, we admit that.

00:41:30But all that stuff about abuse, forcing him to donate a kidney, never happened.

00:41:36It's all Ethan's doing.

00:41:37He just wants to cash in, so he won't support us, his own parents, or 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, you can't just turn your back on mom and dad.

00:41:52We'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.

00:41:58You need proof for everything.

00:42:00In this book, I've laid out everything.

00:42:02The records from my part-time jobs to pay for living expenses,

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

00:42:07and from my mom, there's her forcing me to sign a kidney donation agreement.

00:42:11All in the chat history.

00:42:12It's all right here.

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

00:42:15Where's your proof?

00:42:17The evidence in Ethan's book is very detailed.

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

00:42:23That 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.

00:42:39If you apologize to us now and 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.

00:42:47We don't want to go that far either.

00:42:49Think it over carefully.

00:42:51That's right, Ethan.

00:42:51We're family.

00:42:53Go 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 for you to squander again?

00:43:01You have proof?

00:43:02Then show it now.

00:43:03You're forcing my hand.

00:43:06Everyone.

00:43:07This is my husband's, Ethan's father's, medical report.

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

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

00:43:14He can't get angry or drink alcohol.

00:43:16Otherwise, 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.

00:43:30Check 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.

00:43:45But 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.

00:43:56Ethan, I'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.

00:44:10Even people at school are yelling at me, too.

00:44:12Well, mom and dad, they did raise you.

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

00:44:17Precious daughter, come on.

00:44:19Get up.

00:44:20We're not begging him.

00:44:22Ethan, what 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?

00:44:36Mr. Chen, if today's commotion can't be settled, then 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, they might have really let you pin the blame on them.

00:44:54Are you saying all this evidence is fake?

00:44:56That's exactly the point.

00:44:58This whole act and all this evidence isn't something you could have come up with.

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

00:45:05After thinking it over, someone who has it out for me and has the means, there's only one person.

00:45:12Our esteemed Principal Zhang, as 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 Chens up to this act?

00:45:25Sean Zhang is in prison, and Principal Zhang and Ethan have a deep-seated grudge.

00:45:30So he's definitely capable of doing something like this.

00:45:33Principal Zhang, are you here today because of the Chen family?

00:45:37I'm...

00:45:38Did indeed help the Chen family.

00:45:39Then may I ask, is this retaliation on your part?

00:45:42The Chens are disgusting.

00:45:45They 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.

00:45:53Indeed, my son deeply hurt Ethan.

00:45:56He is now facing legal consequences.

00:45:58As a father...

00:46:00I...

00:46:01I failed in my duty.

00:46:03But precisely because of that, as a principal,

00:46:06it's even more imperative that I don't fail in my duty.

00:46:10Ethan is a fine young man with a bright future.

00:46:14I can't bear to see Ethan go 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 realizes it's not too late to turn back.

00:46:29That brat Ethan dared to use me to deal with his heartless parents

00:46:33and got my son thrown in jail.

00:46:36And my grudge.

00:46:38Today.

00:46:38I'm going to settle it all with you.

00:46:42Everyone, setting aside our positions,

00:46:45the Chen family did present concrete evidence.

00:46:50Everyone, take a look at this medical report in my hand.

00:46:53Let me ask you,

00:46:54how could someone with AE,

00:46:57long-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, it really is possible.

00:47:10These medical reports?

00:47:12My friend, the hospital director, helped 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.

00:47:23Let's wait a bit longer.

00:47:24I still believe in our genius.

00:47:26Dad, you 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?

00:47:41Finally.

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

00:47:44Quick, stop him.

00:47:46Honey.

00:47:51You, you little...

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

00:48:08you 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.

00:48:18Sure doesn't look like someone with high blood pressure and heart disease.

00:48:21Honey, he's...

00:48:22He'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, I'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,

00:48:44just watch this video and 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.

00:49:24Never thought I'd need it right here, today.

00:49:27What 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.

00:49:39You need to leave.

00:49:40Now.

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

00:49:42Security.

00:49:43Now everything's clear.

00:49:44Get out now.

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

00:49:48Call security.

00:49:49You're not going anywhere.

00:49:51Everything you did today.

00:49:53We're going to expose every last bit of it.

00:49:56Principal Zhang, admit it now.

00:49:57You helped the Chen family.

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

00:50:01Mr. Chen.

00:50:03In the video Ethan took, you were clearly drinking.

00:50:05So then, that medical report for hypertension and heart disease.

00:50:10Who helped you forge it?

00:50:11Answer the question.

00:50:14Stop filming.

00:50:15Stop it right now.

00:50:18Whoa, what?

00:50:20What 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, lived under my roof, spent my money.

00:51:01Huh?

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

00:51:07Fine.

00:51:07Even if I gave you everything, you think you deserve any of it?

00:51:12Oh, Ethan.

00:51:14Bet you still don't know, ish-show?

00:51:17How your real father dumped you.

00:51:20Let me tell you.

00:51:21Your real father, back then, waited until our whole family was out.

00:51:27And dumped you right on our doorstep.

00:51:31So, Ethan, your own father threw you away, and I, your stepfather, raised you, put you through school, and made

00:51:41you valedictorian.

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

00:51:46You never should have been born.

00:51:51That's too much.

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

00:51:55Security, take him away!

00:52:01Ethan Chen!

00:52:03Take him away.

00:52:05This isn't over, Ethan.

00:52:15Ethan, what happened today was on us, at 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?

00:52:44But in a bit, you're giving that live online speech.

00:52:47It could be seen by millions.

00:52:51Trust me, I've got this.

00:52:53Got it.

00:52:54I'll get everything set up right away.

00:52:56Alright then, Ethan.

00:52:57Why 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, get $200 off.

00:53:25A lot of you already know my story.

00:53:30If you're stuck in the mud right now, remember to cut through the thorns, be your own life raft.

00:53:36Trample all your burdens underfoot, turning them into stepping stones.

00:53:40I am Ethan Chen.

00:53:41Not chasing the sun, nor just looking up at it.

00:53:45I am the dawn that darkness can't hide.

00:53:48The 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, to journey far, to see the wilderness.

00:53:59And to be our own sun.

00:54:05The road ahead is long.

00:54:07I'll take that first step.

00:54:19Ethan, that was a brilliant speech.

00:54:21The viewer count just now has already surpassed 10 million.

00:54:25That book of yours is going to be a bestseller for sure.

00:54:29I need to use the restroom, I'll be right back.

00:54:32Okay.

00:54:40Wait.

00:54:45So it's really...

00:54:47Oi, you.

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

00:54:50I didn't mean to bother you.

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

00:54:54At the very beginning, I always thought that as time went by,

00:54:58even the strongest feelings would fade away.

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

00:55:04But just now, seeing you deal with Principal Zhang and the trouble your family caused,

00:55:09and that brilliant speech...

00:55:11I finally realized you're a bird soaring in the sky.

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

00:55:18Someone like me isn't worth you looking back for.

00:55:22That's poetic, but I prefer to be practical.

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

00:55:30This is for all the money you spent while we were together.

00:55:33In the past year with you, you covered most of the expenses so I could focus on my studies.

00:55:40Wait, no.

00:55:41I mean study in secret.

00:55:44Here, take this.

00:55:47You don't have to.

00:55:48I spent every bit of it willingly.

00:55:51Besides...

00:55:51Chloe, don't get me wrong.

00:55:54Giving you this money isn't about feeling indebted.

00:55:58Back then, I was just borrowing against my own potential.

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

00:56:04This money is to make things right for 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.

00:56:36Goodbye.

00:56:39We will meet again.

00:56:41No matter how long, I 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.

00:56:53By StarTech, the top firm in the field.

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

00:56:59Today's my first day on the job.

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

00:57:08All right.

00:57:28Hello.

00:57:29I'm Ethan Chen, the 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 not that long ago?

00:57:51How could you possibly have become a manager at StarTech so quickly?

00:57:56Your dad must have connections at StarTech, too.

00:57:59So, now you should understand the gap between us.

00:58:02Only an aunt like you needs to climb up step by step.

00:58:06But as for me,

00:58:07even though you framed me and sent me to prison,

00:58:10in the end, I'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, Ethan Chen.

00:58:32There's a change regarding your position.

00:58:34Our department only needs one vice manager,

00:58:37but we have two candidates now.

00:58:38One is a top student with an impressive resume,

00:58:40and the other...

00:58:42Well, let's just say he's the boss's pet.

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

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

00:58:48After a discussion with senior management,

00:58:50we've decided to put you both on a one-month probation.

00:58:53Coincidentally, the company is currently trying to secure a collaboration

00:58:55with Eastern Group worth $50 million.

00:58:58So, within a month,

00:58:59whoever can secure this deal gets to stay.

00:59:11Eastern Group.

00:59:13I'm going to win you over today.

00:59:30That covers everything in my proposal.

00:59:32Please review it, Director He.

00:59:33Vice Manager Chen.

00:59:35As the person in charge of this key project for Eastern Group,

00:59:38as for me,

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

00:59:41Your proposal, I think, is excellent.

00:59:44I will submit your proposal to the company leadership

00:59:46as soon as possible for further discussion.

00:59:49Thank you, Director He.

00:59:51Rest assured, I won't let you down.

01:00:00Director, hey, take a look at this.

01:00:20Vice Manager Chen, I'm sorry.

01:00:22I won't be adopting the proposal you submitted.

01:00:24Please leave.

01:00:25Director He, why is that?

01:00:28Director He.

01:00:29We were just having a great conversation.

01:00:31What made you suddenly change your mind?

01:00:34Did something go wrong?

01:00:35Vice Manager Chen,

01:00:36you know exactly what you've done.

01:00:38You know it perfectly well.

01:00:39There's no need for me to spell it out for you, is there?

01:00:41Wait, Director He.

01:00:43Since you're dead set against this proposal,

01:00:46mind telling me why?

01:00:47At least let me understand where the problem is.

01:00:54Take a look for yourself.

01:00:58Sean, you still haven't grown up.

01:01:01Director He, this presentation is slander against me.

01:01:04I can explain everything.

01:01:06Save your explanations.

01:01:07Vice Manager Chen.

01:01:09A scandal like this, true or not, is nothing but trouble.

01:01:12Even if I believe you personally,

01:01:14do you think the higher-ups will?

01:01:16Vice Manager Chen.

01:01:18In business, we avoid trouble whenever we can.

01:01:20This collaboration is over.

01:01:22Wait, Director He.

01:01:25Excuse me, Director He, would you please hear me out?

01:01:28Chloe.

01:01:29Ms. Joe.

01:01:30Director He, I heard the whole thing outside the door about that presentation.

01:01:34It's clearly malicious rumors.

01:01:37Ethan and I go way back.

01:01:40Given his character and skills, you can trust him completely.

01:01:43You have my word.

01:01:45With Ms. Joe's guarantee?

01:01:47Well, that does change things.

01:01:49In that case,

01:01:51Ethan,

01:01:52your proposal, I'll submit it to the company for evaluation as usual.

01:01:55As for the presentation issue,

01:01:57we still need to clean up this mess,

01:01:58and fast.

01:02:00Director He, rest assured,

01:02:02by the end of today,

01:02:03I'll make sure that presentation is gone for good.

01:02:05Good.

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

01:02:07I've got work, so 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, here we are, meeting again.

01:02:24In any case,

01:02:26thanks for your help.

01:02:27You don't seem the least bit surprised to see me here.

01:02:31Or even curious about who I am now.

01:02:33Chloe.

01:02:34To be chosen by StarTech to lead this project,

01:02:37I always do my homework on our potential partners.

01:02:40When I was analyzing Eastern Group's internal structure,

01:02:43I noticed a board member with your last name who looked like you.

01:02:46I followed that lead and traced it,

01:02:48cross-referenced it with the company's recent personnel announcements.

01:02:51I knew you'd been promoted to vice manager ages ago.

01:02:57If you wanted to partner with Eastern Group,

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

01:03:00I could have helped.

01:03:03I'd rather rely on my own skills than pull strings.

01:03:05And right now,

01:03:06your cloud at Eastern Group can't be that great.

01:03:09It would have 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, about the presentation.

01:03:20You don't need my help with that, do you?

01:03:22No need.

01:03:23I'm getting back now to 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 got to hold it together.

01:03:54Sean.

01:03:55You're just unbelievable.

01:03:56Once your presentation dropped,

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

01:04:00He's done for.

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

01:04:03Vice manager?

01:04:04Please.

01:04:06I came to StarTech.

01:04:08To be the CEO.

01:04:10Absolutely.

01:04:11In that case,

01:04:12I've got a little gift for our future CEO.

01:04:17Ethan Chen.

01:04:18You're dead.

01:04:20Sean.

01:04:21Calling you a simpleton is putting it mildly,

01:04:24don't you think?

01:04:25I can see your ceiling is right about here.

01:04:28Today,

01:04:29you're going to explain this presentation business to me.

01:04:32Clearly.

01:04:33What proof do you have that 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 is just hearsay.

01:04:46But the fact that you did time 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 wouldn't want the whole company,

01:04:57let alone the entire industry,

01:04:59to find out about your glorious past, right?

01:05:02Want to guess?

01:05:04If everyone in this industry found out there's a good-for-nothing ex-con sitting 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.

01:05:18You dare expose my past?

01:05:19My past is just you bullying me.

01:05:22But there's nothing shameful about that.

01:05:24Why should I feel ashamed or guilty?

01:05:27The one who should be condemned is the abuser.

01:05:30Sean.

01:05:31With 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?

01:05:38You've got one hour to wipe that presentation off the face of the earth.

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

01:05:46then that presentation of your glorious past will 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 from the streets rough him up.

01:06:06Yeah,

01:06:06that's right.

01:06:07You too,

01:06:07my 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.

01:06:22Both of your proposals have made it to the final round of evaluation at Eastern Group.

01:06:26According to reliable sources,

01:06:27Eastern Group will make its decision tomorrow morning on the final winning proposal.

01:06:31And the winner will be one of you too.

01:06:32One of you.

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

01:06:35Thank you,

01:06:35Manager Wen.

01:06:36I was just doing my job.

01:06:38Management has decided to host a grand banquet tomorrow.

01:06:41It'll also double as an award ceremony to celebrate landing the partnership with Eastern Group worth $50 million,

01:06:46a real cause for celebration.

01:06:49We'll also be recognizing the key contributors behind the winning proposal.

01:06:54Now I know for you too,

01:06:56this is good news and bad news.

01:06:58All I can say is good luck to you both.

01:07:00Thank you for your well wishes,

01:07:02Manager Wen.

01:07:02However,

01:07:03I don't believe in luck.

01:07:04I believe in skill.

01:07:07Manager Wen,

01:07:08if Ethan loses it tomorrow when his hopes are dashed,

01:07:12I'd be happy to handle the cleanup duty for you.

01:07:15Manager Wen,

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

01:07:18Manager Wen,

01:07:19manager,

01:07:42mm-hmm don't worry everything's under control yeah done tomorrow at the banquet we'll see how it

01:07:51plays out you wanted to add me on WeChat why not just ask me to my face instead of adding

01:08:06me

01:08:07sneakily afterwards I was afraid you'd reject me now I found a good excuse I asked a friend to

01:08:13trace the source of that slanderous presentation we found an IP address but it was fake so the

01:08:19rumor monger is very careful it'll probably be hard for you to find direct evidence to sue

01:08:24doesn't matter it's handled but thank you anyway

01:08:31Ethan Chen I

01:08:38Chloe Zhou four years and you still can't get over me

01:08:49I don't have time for affairs of the heart right now whether I stay or leave tomorrow

01:08:52the celebratory banquet is crucial I'm calling it a day and going to bed

01:08:59time flies Chloe this is goodbye we will meet again no matter how long it takes I will make

01:09:07my way back to you dad I want to work at Eastern Group please help me with your lazy

01:09:12unambitious attitude you still want to join the corporation dream on dad I'm serious tell me what

01:09:21I need to do and I'll do it are you serious yes all right I'll help you but if you

01:09:26give up on this

01:09:27halfway through then from now on never bring this up again

01:09:33Ethan I've worked very hard these past few years I studied abroad and came back to build my career here

01:09:37I'm not a bad student anymore now am I qualified to enter your world I've seen your resume welcome

01:09:45to to the world of a students Ethan I owe you too much for the rest of my life I'm

01:09:51truly under your

01:09:52thumb the purpose of today's victory celebration should be clear to everyone here it's about whether

01:09:58we land the deal with Eastern Group and the selection of the vice manager now before the

01:10:04celebration begins let's all give a warm round of applause to welcome today's guest of honor

01:10:09Mr. Liu Mr. Liu came in person looks like the company really values this partnership you said

01:10:16it chairman Howard has been on sick leave for a year Mr. Zhao is already the one in charge I

01:10:21think

01:10:21it's only a matter of time before Mr. Liu joins the board of directors thank you for the welcome

01:10:27today I'm very pleased because StarTech has landed the partnership with Eastern Group of course that's

01:10:33thanks to everyone's hard work at the same time today is also heartbreaking for me because today

01:10:39is also the day we decide the fate of our two outstanding young talents who stays and who leaves

01:10:45losing either one would be a tragedy the company simply doesn't have enough management positions to

01:10:50offer and neither of these young people should have to settle for less therefore these two young

01:10:56people must prove themselves with their abilities Mr. Liu the result from Eastern Group should be coming in

01:11:00any minute now okay don't worry Sean everything's set we'll make sure Ethan is utterly humiliated

01:11:16Ethan tell me doesn't this feel just like back when we got our exam results

01:11:21yeah it really does and today's outcome will be exactly the same

01:11:27this time you're definitely going to lose Mr. Liu from Eastern Group director he is on the line

01:11:34hello this is Leo Liu to think it's Mr. Liu himself taking my call I'm truly honored I'm from Eastern

01:11:40Group

01:11:41the person in charge of this bidding process Don Hai I'm calling to inform you that after evaluation

01:11:46one of your proposals has been selected we at Eastern Group are very much looking forward to

01:11:50working with StarTech excellent director he so which proposal did you ultimately choose let me see

01:11:57it's the one code named the RY proposal rye is my proposal but whose proposal is the RY one what

01:12:06are

01:12:06you so worked up about we don't know but surely management knows right all right thank you all right

01:12:11then we'll stay in touch the dust has settled the RY project has won the bid the person in charge

01:12:23of the

01:12:23RY project is a great asset to the company and logically should be promoted to vice manager of the department

01:12:31so let's congratulate the person in charge of the RY project Sean you lost again Sean

01:12:44Ethan you're the one who lost

01:12:47Ms. Joe you're here

01:12:49Don you're in charge of the proposal any word on the bidding results the results are in Ms. Joe you're

01:12:56so invested

01:12:57is it because of vice manager Chen something like that so so which one won it's RY

01:13:06RY

01:13:08so it's Ethan's proposal excellent right I know it's vice manager Chen's proposal

01:13:14however I heard that at StarTech the person in charge of this project is listed as

01:13:19Sean Zhang as long as it doesn't affect implementation we at the Eastern Group won't interfere

01:13:26what how can it be Sean

01:13:32RY is clearly my proposal how did it end up as Sean's Mr. Liu manager when what on earth is

01:13:38going on

01:13:39did something go wrong

01:13:40Ethan you said that for the RY project you were the one in charge

01:13:45but it clearly states here that the project lead is Sean Zhang

01:13:50manager when explain this

01:13:52Mr. Liu I've made myself perfectly clear to you I'm not willing to cooperate with you in telling this lie

01:13:58the proposal is Ethan's but you're giving all the credit to Sean there's nothing I can do about it

01:14:04you really are ungrateful

01:14:06that's why after all these years you're still just a junior operations manager

01:14:11for a measly vice manager position you're throwing away your own future is it worth it

01:14:16so that's it Sean so you're the boss's pet

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

01:14:24that's outrageous so Sean really is the boss's pet

01:14:27it seems the vice manager position was just a stepping stone for him

01:14:30what's all the noise

01:14:31since that's the case there's no need to pretend anymore

01:14:34Ethan pack your things immediately

01:14:38you're fired

01:14:38Sean this is a setup by you

01:14:41this open competition from the very beginning was your means of revenge

01:14:45Ethan I told you this isn't the ivory tower it's not like back then when exams were simple

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

01:14:54back then Ethan bullied you so badly

01:14:57as your uncle of course I have to help you get even

01:15:00with just one word from me the 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 aren't you afraid that if word of this gets 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 just 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

01:16:13if 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

01:16:35this 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

01:16:57what?

01:16:58what?

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 dollar 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

01:17:17the 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

01:17:41Ethan and as for you

01:17:43get 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

01:17:55we'd welcome talent like yours

01:17:57Wendy

01:17:58if you're interested

01:17:58we'd welcome you too

01:18:00I'll put in a strong word for you

01:18:03let's go

01:18:06Chloe
