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

Quantum.Quicks

Transcript

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

00:00:04for everyone to see.

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

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

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

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

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

00:00:2599% of the business are from his deals.

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

00:00:28Last month, I saw him close a 5 million deal.

00:00:31Mr. Reid, are you sure about these numbers?

00:00:34Look closely.

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

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

00:00:41You!

00:00:44I don't believe it.

00:00:45Hey!

00:00:46One word from me, and she switched the numbers.

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

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

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

00:00:58Lauren.

00:00:59Honey, Nathan is thin-skinned.

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

00:01:03You heard the champ.

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

00:01:05As long as you promise me, I'll have your baby.

00:01:12Lauren.

00:01:12The doctor says my mom's getting worse.

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

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

00:01:17Can we-

00:01:18Edward.

00:01:19How can you be so selfish?

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

00:01:22You want me to have a baby now?

00:01:23What about my company?

00:01:26Lauren Carter.

00:01:27When my mom was sick and wanted a grandchild, you refused no matter what.

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

00:01:36The numbers are certainly right, Edward.

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

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

00:01:44You decide.

00:01:48This time, I choose Niner.

00:01:53I'm done with you, and the company.

00:01:55You dare to quit.

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

00:02:00You dare to quit.

00:02:03Miss Carter, Edward has been our top sales champ for eight years.

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

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

00:02:10Edward.

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

00:02:12If there's a problem between you, go home and talk it out.

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

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

00:02:17Have you had enough?

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

00:02:20Always threatening to quit, what's the point?

00:02:22Is this really necessary?

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

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

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

00:02:31This is my resignation letter.

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

00:02:33Edward, don't be impulsive.

00:02:34Yeah, Edward.

00:02:35The company can't lose you.

00:02:36Leonard, Kurt, you don't need to persuade me.

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

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

00:02:43For eight years, I worked tirelessly and always top the sales charts.

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

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

00:02:53What's minus yours?

00:02:54Sales manager?

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

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

00:03:00Hmm.

00:03:02I believed her.

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

00:03:06She changed managers ten times.

00:03:08And every time, I was slapped out.

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

00:03:13Together.

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

00:03:20Alright.

00:03:22Because of that promise, for a whole month, I worked day and night chasing sales, drinking

00:03:27with Mr. Foster, ruining my stomach.

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

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

00:03:34But she gave the position to her old fling, Nathan Reed.

00:03:39Honey, Nathan's got a PhD from Stanford.

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

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

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

00:03:48Forget it.

00:03:49I'm the one who should leave.

00:03:50It's my fault.

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

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

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

00:04:00I apologize to you.

00:04:01I'm sorry.

00:04:02Nathan!

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

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

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

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

00:04:11Lauren Carter.

00:04:12I humiliated him?

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

00:04:16Open your eyes and look.

00:04:17Who's the one being humiliated here?

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

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

00:04:22This is all my fault.

00:04:23Maybe I should leave.

00:04:25Hey!

00:04:25Don't!

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

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

00:04:30Why does Mr. Carter let him be the manager?

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

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

00:04:37Not only did he piss off clients, he blew the whole deal.

00:04:40Exactly!

00:04:40He messed up one of my deals too.

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

00:04:45Said my clients were low end.

00:04:46And if I brought in clients like that again, I could just get out.

00:04:50Lauren Carter.

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

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

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

00:05:02Don't.

00:05:03Don't worry.

00:05:04I'll make sure you get justice.

00:05:05Come on.

00:05:06Edward, can't you think about the big picture here?

00:05:08Nathan's got a PhD from abroad.

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

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

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

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

00:05:18I'm mad at him.

00:05:19He literally faked the numbers and humiliated me.

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

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

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

00:05:26Didn't you have a time when your numbers were worse too?

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

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

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

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

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

00:05:41No complaints.

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

00:05:49Here's the sales report I printed ahead of time.

00:05:51Take a good look.

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

00:06:08I'm saying how could Ed would possibly be the worst?

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

00:06:13What do you mean?

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

00:06:16What?

00:06:17Feeling protected now?

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

00:06:26CDs?

00:06:27Those contracts.

00:06:28They're already signed, just not filed yet.

00:06:30If you don't believe it, you can check for yourself.

00:06:32And see if it's true.

00:06:36Are you blind or what?

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

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

00:06:40Miss Carter, I did it.

00:06:41I swear I didn't.

00:06:42Whatever!

00:06:44You're fired.

00:06:45Get her out of here!

00:06:46It wasn't me.

00:06:47Lauren Carter, come on.

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

00:06:51Just to cover for Nathan, I guess.

00:06:54You've forgotten what got you started in the first place.

00:06:56Alright, enough.

00:06:57Back to work.

00:06:58Meeting's over.

00:07:01Hold up.

00:07:03Mr. Reid.

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

00:07:05Where are you going?

00:07:09Mr. Reid.

00:07:09Didn't you just say you stick to your principles?

00:07:12Just doing your job?

00:07:13So what now?

00:07:14Your principles?

00:07:15Don't apply to you?

00:07:16What's wrong, Nathan?

00:07:17It's just putting on an outfit, walking around the office.

00:07:19No big deal.

00:07:21Yeah.

00:07:21We've all done it before.

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

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

00:07:26Lauren.

00:07:27Hey.

00:07:31Did you make those calls?

00:07:32Did you follow up with the clients?

00:07:33All you do is stir up drama every day.

00:07:35If you have that time, why not close a few more deals?

00:07:37Break up!

00:07:42Edward.

00:07:43Why's everyone looking at me?

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

00:07:47See you around.

00:07:48Guys.

00:07:49Edward.

00:07:54Edward.

00:07:55Edward.

00:07:56Edward.

00:07:57Edward.

00:07:57I'm sorry, okay, babe?

00:07:58I messed up.

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

00:08:02If he couldn't do the job, how would the team see me?

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

00:08:08I messed up.

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

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

00:08:14Not necessary.

00:08:15I...

00:08:17Lauren.

00:08:17I just took a hit emotionally.

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

00:08:20Can you help me out?

00:08:21I got something to handle.

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

00:08:24Give me back my payroll card.

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

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

00:08:28Alright, alright.

00:08:29Here, take it.

00:08:29Go home and get some rest.

00:08:30I'll give you a day off.

00:08:31Come to work tomorrow.

00:08:34Lauren Carter.

00:08:35This time, I'm really not giving you another chance.

00:08:41Hello?

00:08:41Edward.

00:08:42It's James.

00:08:43My mom suddenly got really sick.

00:08:44I'm overseas and I can't get back.

00:08:45Could you stay with her at the hospital?

00:08:47Mr. Foster.

00:08:47Please don't worry.

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

00:08:49Lauren Carter.

00:08:50You think sales is just about having a fancy degree?

00:08:53Nathan is too proud to actually serve the client,

00:08:55so he'll never be a good salesperson.

00:08:59Edward.

00:08:59Thank you so much.

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

00:09:04Ma'am.

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

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

00:09:08That brat.

00:09:09Hey.

00:09:10Don't worry.

00:09:11When he gets back, I'll make sure he gives you all his future business.

00:09:14Ma'am.

00:09:15Please don't do that.

00:09:16Mr. Foster is a big boss.

00:09:17It's normal for him to be busy.

00:09:18I'm not looking after you just for the business.

00:09:20Mom.

00:09:23Mom.

00:09:24Are you okay?

00:09:24Edward's been here the whole time.

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

00:09:28Mom.

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

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

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

00:09:33So is he supposed to owe you, or do you owe him?

00:09:35Why would he take care of me?

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

00:09:39Mom.

00:09:40Don't worry.

00:09:41I get it.

00:09:44Edward.

00:09:44From now on, every order from Foster Group is yours.

00:09:47Tomorrow, I'll sign a deal at your company.

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

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

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

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

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

00:09:55But Mr. Foster, I do have a favor to ask of you.

00:09:58Say the word.

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

00:10:01Hey guys.

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

00:10:03Wow, Mr. Reed.

00:10:04Why did you get such a beautiful and wealthy girlfriend?

00:10:07Yeah, yeah.

00:10:07Why haven't you introduced her yet?

00:10:08Hold on.

00:10:09Three shots is a penalty.

00:10:10Alright, alright.

00:10:11Tonight, drinks are on me.

00:10:12Drink up freely.

00:10:13Wow.

00:10:13Awesome.

00:10:14Hey, miss.

00:10:15Why are you so quiet?

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

00:10:25Are you not feeling well?

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

00:10:31Sorry.

00:10:32Something just came up.

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

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

00:10:37Yeah.

00:10:38Why did she just leave all of a sudden?

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

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

00:10:43How about this?

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

00:10:44Let's just have a good time, okay?

00:10:46Hey, sounds good.

00:10:50Edward, just you wait.

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

00:10:54Edward, stop right there!

00:11:03Hey, boss.

00:11:04Beef noodles, please.

00:11:05Got it!

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

00:11:07I just, I saw you were upset yesterday,

00:11:09and I wanted to make it up to you.

00:11:10I wasn't sure what you'd like,

00:11:12so I asked Nathan to help me pick something else.

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

00:11:19It's the latest collection.

00:11:21Over 10,000 each.

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

00:11:26Of course.

00:11:27I'm your wife.

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

00:11:29With my body?

00:11:30You think I can fit into the side desk?

00:11:31This is for Nathan, isn't it?

00:11:32Honey, let me explain.

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

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

00:11:36Don't worry, I'll go exchange it.

00:11:40Hey, your noodles are ready.

00:11:44Why are you eating so little?

00:11:48Boss!

00:11:49I'll have some sliced beef,

00:11:51one spicy chicken,

00:11:52and a bottle of beer.

00:11:53Got it!

00:11:58Take your time.

00:11:59Young man, your wife treats you really well.

00:12:03All right.

00:12:04What do you want from me?

00:12:05Honey, you've been working too hard lately,

00:12:07so I signed you up for a 10-day Europe tour package,

00:12:10so why don't you let Nathan handle your clients for a while?

00:12:12Heh.

00:12:15Don't worry.

00:12:16Your commission will stay exactly the same.

00:12:18I promise you won't lose out.

00:12:20Lauren Carter,

00:12:20I always knew every nice thing you did for me.

00:12:23Head and angle.

00:12:25Babe, you're basically a senior employee here now.

00:12:27You should give the new folks a chance to learn and grow, right?

00:12:30Come on, I'm your wife.

00:12:31The whole company is yours anyway, right?

00:12:33All right.

00:12:34Seriously?

00:12:36Of course.

00:12:39Once I leave the company...

00:12:41All my clients will go to Nathan Reed.

00:12:44I'm quit.

00:12:46Wait, babe.

00:12:47I never even approved your resignation.

00:12:49You posted online.

00:12:49Are you crazy?

00:12:53Hello?

00:12:54Miss Carter.

00:12:54Heard Edward just left the company.

00:12:56Once this contract's up,

00:12:57we're not renewing our partnership.

00:12:58No way.

00:12:59It's just a little spat between us.

00:13:01We'll patch things up.

00:13:02Hello?

00:13:03Hey.

00:13:05Mr. Scott.

00:13:07Resign.

00:13:08No way.

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

00:13:20Lauren Carter.

00:13:21Let's get a divorce.

00:13:22Yeah, okay.

00:13:23What did you say?

00:13:24Nothing.

00:13:25Just sign this.

00:13:27Hey, Nathan.

00:13:28It's fine.

00:13:29Don't blame yourself.

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

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

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

00:13:36Edward.

00:13:38Honey.

00:13:38Hey.

00:13:39You haven't paid for your meal.

00:13:41Oh, sorry about that.

00:13:47Don't worry.

00:13:48Edward Quinn is just in a mood.

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

00:13:50Trust me.

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

00:13:55Hey.

00:13:56Hey.

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

00:14:15If you don't want to hand your clients, just say no.

00:14:17Why are you upset?

00:14:19Hey.

00:14:20Please just hex me back.

00:14:21Don't give me a cold shoulder, okay?

00:14:23Lauren Carter.

00:14:24If you had just come home right now, you would have found me there.

00:14:28However, just to be with Nathan, you gave up your last chance.

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

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

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

00:14:52This is the Patek Philippe Lauren gave me for my birthday last year.

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

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

00:15:02Oh, right.

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

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

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

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

00:15:13Kiss him!

00:15:14Kiss him!

00:15:16It's okay if you don't want to.

00:15:17I don't mind looking bad.

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

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

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

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

00:15:35Sure.

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

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

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

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

00:15:45I have to meet a client today.

00:15:46Give me my payroll card.

00:15:47I need to buy a new suit.

00:15:48No need.

00:15:50I've got it ready for you.

00:15:52Thanks, honey.

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

00:15:58I'm sorry, honey.

00:15:59I bought the wrong size.

00:16:01I was so stupid.

00:16:02I actually believed you.

00:16:03Just got the wrong size.

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

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

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

00:16:18Mr. Quinn, with this evidence, we can definitely help you get your money back.

00:16:21Even if you want to file for divorce, you're very likely to win.

00:16:24Thank you, Miss Ro.

00:16:28Edward, where did that punk Nathan even come from?

00:16:30He's trying to steal your clients, and now he's coming after me.

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

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

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

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

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

00:16:43After all, you've done me a huge favor before.

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

00:16:47Deal.

00:16:50I'll leave the rest to you, Miss Ro.

00:16:52Don't worry.

00:16:54Edward, get to the office.

00:16:56I'm only coming for one thing. It's to resign.

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

00:17:00Alright, I'm on my way now.

00:17:11Congratulations to Mr. Reed for landing a huge deal.

00:17:14Total value, 40 million. Everyone give it up.

00:17:22To encourage everyone to compete, I've decided to promote Nathan Reed to Sales Director.

00:17:28Let's welcome him.

00:17:33Miss Carter, looks like not everyone's throat.

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

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

00:17:43Lauren Carter, do you really think Nathan Reed can close those two big deals?

00:17:49Edward, can you stop being so arrogant? You can land a big deal, but why can Nathan do it?

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

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

00:17:59What do you have to compete with him?

00:18:01Me? I'm a loser?

00:18:03Eight years ago, since you started this company, which big client wasn't brought in by me.

00:18:06And now, you call me useless.

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

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

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

00:18:13Otherwise, pack your stuff and get out!

00:18:15Lauren, don't blame him too much.

00:18:17After all, he's poorly educated and narrow-minded.

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

00:18:22Let's give him one more chance.

00:18:24Did you hear that?

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

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

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

00:18:32Unlike you, so petty and calculating.

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

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

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

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

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

00:18:43How about this?

00:18:44Let's make him a supervisor.

00:18:45Under my management, I'll teach him properly.

00:18:47Did you hear that?

00:18:48Aren't you going to thank Nathan?

00:18:51Here, the employment contract. Sign it.

00:18:54Take it.

00:18:55From now on, your supervisor reporting to Nathan.

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

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

00:19:01That's outrageous.

00:19:02All of the contracts were signed by Edward.

00:19:04What gives Nathan 90%?

00:19:06Exactly.

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

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

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

00:19:12What are you waiting for?

00:19:13Hurry up and sign.

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

00:19:21If anyone wants to sign a slave contract, be my guest.

00:19:24Today, I'm here to resign.

00:19:26Just sign my resignation already.

00:19:27Stop wasting my time.

00:19:28You're really stubborn as a rock, aren't you?

00:19:31You wanna quit?

00:19:32Fine!

00:19:32I'll sign!

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

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

00:19:48Mr. Harris, Mr. Foster, glad you could make it.

00:19:50The contracts are all ready.

00:19:51We can renew today.

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

00:19:54It's done.

00:19:55Edward has left the company.

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

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

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

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

00:20:06What the hell is this?

00:20:08Such a big mouth.

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

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

00:20:15We're here to terminate.

00:20:16What? Terminate?

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

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

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

00:20:40Miss Carter, this is our termination contract.

00:20:44Mr. Foster, weren't we supposed to renew our partnership?

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

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

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

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

00:20:55How could you be so stupid as to cut someone so critical to the business?

00:20:58Mr. Foster, Mr. Harris, Edward and I are married.

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

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

00:21:04Can't we forget about the termination?

00:21:05But why do I see that you've already signed the resignation papers?

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

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

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

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

00:21:19Fine. I'll say it.

00:21:21I knew it. My husband would never leave me hanging.

00:21:23Hey, Edward, you-

00:21:25Raymond, hold on a second. Let's hear what Edward has to say.

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

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

00:21:48Edward, what are you playing at?

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

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

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

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

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

00:22:02I was just speaking anger. Why are you taking this so seriously?

00:22:05But still, Nathan just finished his PhD. He doesn't have much experience.

00:22:09I'll keep his position open for you. Please don't quit, okay?

00:22:12Be firm before being humble.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:22:30So you're saying, as long as you get the chance, you could steal my clients?

00:22:34Of course.

00:22:34Alright, here's my entire client list. I'm giving you this shot.

00:22:39You can go talk to them face to face. Let's see if you can win them over.

00:22:44Edward, don't come crying later.

00:22:46Hello, Mr. Harris. My name is Nathan Reed, a PhD in economics from Stanford.

00:22:50If you partner with me, I promise I'll help your company grow bigger.

00:22:55James, didn't we just hear the same pitch somewhere?

00:22:57When we walked in, I think we already heard that line.

00:23:01Oh, Nathan Reed. Now I remember.

00:23:03You're the guy who called yesterday trying to poach me.

00:23:05That clueless rookie, right?

00:23:07Mr. Harris, please show some respect.

00:23:09I'm not a clueless rookie.

00:23:10If you can't even take a little pressure, why are you even in sales?

00:23:12Exactly. Always putting on airs. Acting like Yelm's the place.

00:23:15No way he's closing any deals like that.

00:23:18Respect. You haven't earned it.

00:23:20Don't think just because you've got a PhD you're special.

00:23:22My company's full of people like you, and none of them would dare talk back to me.

00:23:27Who do you think you are? Get out!

00:23:30Nathan, Mr. Harris had ties to Dawn of the World. He's not easy to win over.

00:23:33How about talking to Mr. Foster instead? He's much more approachable.

00:23:36I'll give it a shot.

00:23:39Mr. Foster, could I have a word with you?

00:23:41No. Not only will I not work with you, but so will every CEO here.

00:23:46Why not? I mean, I have a PhD. My credentials and skills are better than his.

00:23:51How am I not as good as him? Why pick him over me?

00:23:54Why? Because you don't deserve it.

00:23:56Edward and I go way back. Every CEO in this room owes him something.

00:23:59Don't you think he could sign us? Just with a couple of lines? That's just wishful thinking.

00:24:03Yeah, we only trust Edward.

00:24:04That's right. If Edward leaves, we're ending our contracts.

00:24:07Mr. Foster, if you're willing to renew with us, I'm willing to... to... knock 30% off!

00:24:15Nathan Reed, are you insane? Our company barely makes 20% in profit.

00:24:18He's talking about 30%. That's basically a loss.

00:24:20Nathan, 30% will be pleading money.

00:24:23Lauren, don't worry. A temporary loss isn't a problem.

00:24:26We'll make it back, I promise. Lauren, don't stress.

00:24:29My professors always said a price war is the best way to attract customers.

00:24:33Lauren, trust me, I can do this.

00:24:36Edward, talk some sense into Lauren. The company can't handle a loss like this.

00:24:39What will be, will be. If she really is this reckless, nothing I can do.

00:24:43Ms. Carter, was that guy serious about the 30% discount?

00:24:47Lauren, stop hesitating. Do you really want to let Edward walk all over me?

00:24:55That's right. What Nathan said is exactly what I mean.

00:24:58Since the profit margin is so high right now, I'm sure everyone's on board, right?

00:25:01Since Lauren has made the call, why would I refuse? Go on, draw a new contract.

00:25:05Yes.

00:25:06Ms. Carter, you can't do this. Our cash flow is already tight. This could ruin the company.

00:25:12Leonard, when do sales reps run operations? Just go back to your post.

00:25:15I may not know much about management, but I do know, without cash, the company is doomed.

00:25:19Ms. Carter, I've worked here for eight years. We don't want to see the company go under.

00:25:23Ms. Carter, you can't let Nathan keep messing around anymore.

00:25:26That's right, Ms. Carter. Nathan's only been here a few months, and already turned our department completely upside down.

00:25:30Even draw that word out. You can't let us go on. You can't keep listening to them.

00:25:33Call me, shut up. Nathan is a Stanford grad with a PhD.

00:25:35His credentials are better than all of yours. Who are you to question him?

00:25:38Say one more word. I'll fire you all.

00:25:41Mr. Foster, the draft is ready.

00:25:43Since you negotiated this deal, you should sign it.

00:25:46Alright, I'll sign it.

00:25:49Edward, see this? I can take your client anytime I want. So what?

00:25:52Well, congrats to you. Go ahead.

00:25:54No problem. I'm not just one client. I can bring over ten more if I want without the company. Who

00:26:00are you now?

00:26:01Edward, I'm giving you one last chance. If you come back, I can still make you a sales manager.

00:26:06I don't really want that chance, Ms. Carter. You really should take a good look at the contract.

00:26:11What's there to look at? Mr. Foster and I haven't partnered for years. You'd think you'd screw me over.

00:26:15Ms. Carter, I'm telling you, you really should check it.

00:26:18Fine.

00:26:21What the hell? 100 million!

00:26:25Leonard!

00:26:26Mr. Foster, didn't we agree that it would be for 20 million? Why are you suddenly renewing for that much?

00:26:31It's harder. I remember when we just discussed, Mr. Reed never mentioned any contract limits.

00:26:36Since you're being so generous, of course I'd want as much as possible.

00:26:38That's right. Who told this idiot to sign the contract without even reading it?

00:26:43A monthly profit is just over 10 million, but for this contract, we'll lose over 30 million.

00:26:47Our company's finished!

00:26:50Nathan, our company's cash flow really is only a few tens of millions.

00:26:53If we lose 30 million on this, we're really done for. Come on, think of something.

00:26:57I believe there's always a way. Oh, got it, Lauren.

00:27:00Alright, I trust you.

00:27:02Mr. Foster, let's redo the contract. This one doesn't count.

00:27:06Why does this contract suddenly not count any?

00:27:08Because I'm just a sales manager. I don't have the authority to sign a contract this big.

00:27:14Sales manager, eh?

00:27:17But why does the banner say Mr. Reed's sales director?

00:27:20That's just for show. The process isn't finalized and the appointment hasn't started. I'm still a manager.

00:27:26So you mean, you're giving up the director position and admitting Edward is better.

00:27:39Director Reed, why are you looking at me? Mr. Foster is asking you.

00:27:43Lauren, I'm sorry. I didn't check the contract carefully. I should just leave. Don't stress.

00:27:47Hey, don't. You're just lacking experience. Doesn't mean you're worse than him.

00:27:51Edward, can you be a little more generous? Do you have to keep pushing like this?

00:27:54Ms. Carter, so you do know I'm in the right. I thought you'd already let love close your judgment. Can't

00:27:59even tell right from wrong anymore.

00:28:02You...

00:28:03Edward, we were married for years. What's the end for you if the company fails? Can we just let this

00:28:09go today? I'll make a right at home, okay?

00:28:12Married? That's already over.

00:28:13Ms. Carter, what's the point of telling me? The person you offended is Mr. Foster. It doesn't matter if I

00:28:19let it go.

00:28:19Are you guys done talking yet? Kid, are you clueless or just pretending? Mr. Foster was giving you a way

00:28:26out, and you didn't even get it.

00:28:27Jeez, too much pride. Not enough sense. How can he even work in sales?

00:28:31I have no idea what Ms. Carter sees in him. He's no one near as good as Ed.

00:28:33Forget it. Mr. Harris, let's get out of here.

00:28:36Oh, right. Ms. Carter, don't forget to fulfill the contract. I want that 100 million in goods right now.

00:28:42Hey, wait! Nathan was right. He's just a sales manager in our company. He doesn't have the right to sign

00:28:47a 10 million contract. So...

00:28:49This contract is invalid.

00:28:52Ms. Carter, we've worked together for years. I'm not here to take advantage of you. Let's just drop this contract.

00:28:58I just want you to see through this who's actually valuable and who's the black sheep.

00:29:03That's right. This rookie is not even worth an intern in my company. I really don't get why you treat

00:29:09him like a treasure.

00:29:09You, too. Don't be so harsh. Nathan does have some skills, just lacks experience. I'll give him some solid training.

00:29:15Make sure all of you are satisfied with him.

00:29:17No need for that. Our two companies won't be partners anymore. As for terminating, talk to your lawyer about it.

00:29:22We're leaving.

00:29:24Hey! Don't go, Mr. Foster! Can we talk this through?

00:29:27Ms. Carter, hello. I'm the attorney representing Mr. Foster. 56 other CEOs in charge of handling your contract terminations.

00:29:32All of them want to terminate?

00:29:33That's the instructions I received, yes.

00:29:35Oh, no. It's over. It's all over.

00:29:39Ms. Carter, please finish up my resignation paperwork. I'm in a hurry.

00:29:43Edward, can you help me talk to them? Ask them not to terminate a contract with me.

00:29:49Ms. Carter, I'm just useless. Nathan's the real genius. What's the point of begging me? Go beg your Nathan.

00:29:55Stop right there. Your resignation letter. I'm not approving it.

00:29:59Whatever. Once I submit my resignation, I can leave automatically. In a month. Approve it or not, it's your call.

00:30:05Who do you think you are? You really think this company can't run without you? I don't buy it. I've

00:30:10got Nathan here and so many other employees. You think you're better than all of them?

00:30:13That's right. Don't worry, Lauren. I'm a Stanford PhD. Sales is easy for me. I'll definitely get it done. I'll

00:30:18help you land bigger clients in no time.

00:30:19Well, then let me congratulate Mr. Reed and Ms. Carter in advance.

00:30:24What are you waiting for? Get the hell back to work!

00:30:31Hey, Kurt. Now that Edward's gone, what are we even doing here? Maybe we should just quit too.

00:30:38Yeah, working under that idiot would definitely lead us to trouble.

00:30:41How about we all resign together? I want to work with Edward. Yeah, let's all quit together.

00:30:46Guys, calm down. No rush to do anything. Edward and Lauren are still married.

00:30:49It's not set in stone. Just wait and see for now. If Edward has any plans coming out, I'm sure

00:30:53he'll reach out to us, alright?

00:30:56Sorry, Nathan, for putting you through this.

00:30:59Lauren, I'm the one who should apologize. I caused such huge losses. And, Lauren, from now on-

00:31:04No, it's not your fault. It's all on Edward. He insisted on quitting, which left the company without any orders.

00:31:10I honestly have no idea what to do now.

00:31:11Don't worry, Lauren. I've got a plan.

00:31:14Really?

00:31:14Of course. I'm a PhD, remember? Something like this isn't going to stump me.

00:31:18Besides, those 56 CEOs looked pretty intimidating, but honestly, most of them are local guys.

00:31:23So, why don't we just give up on this market and focus on expanding out of state? That market's way

00:31:28bigger than Rivermore's.

00:31:29Will that really work? Edward tried to break into other states before, but he never pulled it off.

00:31:34It doesn't mean I can't. Lauren, with my expertise, I can totally handle this.

00:31:39Yeah.

00:31:40And I've still got an ace on my sleeve. The Morgans and Northbridge are coming here in a few days

00:31:45to pick a new investment partner.

00:31:46Once we land that investment, we'll be unstoppable.

00:31:48Nice. I'll go back and keep Edward calm. I'll leave the company to you.

00:31:52Okay. Lauren, you're so good to me.

00:31:57Hey, I'm swamped. I'll head out first.

00:32:04Hello?

00:32:05Hey, old friend. Long time to see.

00:32:08Who's this?

00:32:09Claire Morgan?

00:32:10You managed to perform college entrance exams, and only later did I find out you're from the Reaches family, the

00:32:15Morgan family.

00:32:15So, billionaire heiress, what brings you to call me suddenly?

00:32:18Obviously, I heard you're getting divorced, so I reached out.

00:32:27I'm heading out for a hot pot with the guys at lunch. Do me a favor, finish this for me.

00:32:30No way, I-

00:32:31Cut the crap. If I see any leftovers in it, when I get back, from now on, I'm taking all

00:32:35your bread rolls.

00:32:36Oh!

00:32:44Heard you quit your job. Wanna come work with me?

00:32:46My dad handed me a company to run. Problem is, I have no clue how to manage it.

00:32:50The company of the Reaches family, huh? Guess I'll have to think about it.

00:32:54See you tomorrow. I'll text you the address.

00:32:56Alright. See you.

00:32:58Babe, who are you meeting?

00:33:00No one special. Just a no classmate.

00:33:02I packed up your favorite food for you. Come try it. See if you like it.

00:33:07No thanks. I'm not interested in eating his leftovers.

00:33:11Babe, what do you mean?

00:33:13Seriously? Don't check Nathan's social feed.

00:33:22Honey, let me explain. I just saw Nathan having a rough day, so I took him out for dinner to

00:33:26comfort him a bit.

00:33:27Isn't it all about keeping top talent in the company?

00:33:30So during the day, the one you thought was wrong was Nathan Reed?

00:33:32Honey, don't be jealous over nothing. There's really nothing going on between us.

00:33:37Hey, are you heading out?

00:33:39Yeah. These past eight years with you, I've never had a full weekend to myself.

00:33:44Every day was just constant tension meeting Steel's always on.

00:33:46Now that I finally quit, of course I want to relax a little.

00:33:52Getting out to unwind is always good, honey. Time really flies.

00:33:57In the blank of an eye, we've been married eight years.

00:34:01Lauren Carter, just say it straight.

00:34:04Honey, since when do we stop being able to say sweet things to each other?

00:34:10Maybe you should ask yourself that.

00:34:12Honey, I really know I messed up. I was just thinking about the company. Nathan's a Stanford PhD, a rare

00:34:17talent. I just wanted to keep him on the team.

00:34:20All right, honey. Don't be mad, okay?

00:34:23If you'd said this before, I definitely would have been upset. But now, I'm not angry anymore.

00:34:27When there's no lob laps, what's left to be mad about?

00:34:30Really? Then post online right now. Tell everyone you're not quitting.

00:34:33As long as you help me save the company this time, I'll have a baby with you.

00:34:37Didn't you always say you wanted a kid?

00:34:41Lauren Carter, if you said that a year ago, I would have been really happy and forgiven you.

00:34:46But now, things are different.

00:34:48Nathan, give me a second. I'll be right there.

00:34:52Lauren, my mom's test results just came in. It's stomach cancer.

00:34:54Yeah, I heard, I heard.

00:34:56Lauren, my mom's biggest wish is to hold a grandchild. Can you-

00:34:59Ed, are you done yet? My company's just starting to take off. If your mom wants a child, go find

00:35:03someone else. Why are you coming to me?

00:35:06Lauren, you are my wife. Who else am I supposed to ask?

00:35:08Ask whoever you want. Leave me alone.

00:35:11How is it different now?

00:35:12Because the elderly woman, who wanted a grandchild, is already gone.

00:35:17Lauren Carter, not everything can be turned into a transaction.

00:35:20What's that supposed to mean?

00:35:22Doesn't mean anything. Lauren Carter, let's get a divorce.

00:35:27What? You want to divorce me?

00:35:29That's right. Divorce.

00:35:32I don't agree. Why do you want to divorce me?

00:35:40You've already signed the divorce papers. Whether you agree or not, after a one month's cooling off period, we'll be

00:35:45officially divorced.

00:35:45I don't believe it. When did I ever sign divorce papers?

00:35:50Now you remember, right? Back then, you were busy comforting your Nathan. You didn't care about anything else.

00:35:55Oh, Edward, please listen to me. There's really nothing between us. I did everything for the company, nothing else, I

00:36:00swear.

00:36:01That's your company. Nothing to do with me.

00:36:04You can't say that. We're married. What's mine is yours, isn't it?

00:36:07Lauren Carter, you make it sound so nice. Do you remember when we started our business? What did you say

00:36:11to me?

00:36:12Honey, when the company grows, I'll give you half the shares.

00:36:16Lauren, even if you give me nothing, I'd still help you chase your dreams.

00:36:20It's not that I didn't want to give you. It's bad timing. How about this? I'll give you 5%

00:36:24of the shares, okay?

00:36:25No need.

00:36:31Move.

00:36:31No, I won't.

00:36:32I'm moving out today.

00:36:33Edward, are you asking for a divorce because of Nathan? I already explained it to you. He and I are

00:36:38just colleagues, nothing more. I've never done anything to betray you.

00:36:42Really?

00:36:47Then how do you explain these photos of you secretly dating overseas?

00:36:54Lauren Carter, you kept telling me you went abroad for business trips. Looking back now, those were never for business.

00:36:59Just dates with him all alone.

00:37:02Whenever I suggested we take a trip out to the suburbs, you always said it's a waste. But with Nathan

00:37:05Reed, it was always Maldives or Iceland.

00:37:08You know exactly how to be romantic. You just don't want to be romantic with me.

00:37:11Honey, let me explain. I've never been to any of those places with him. He must have photoshopped them. Don't

00:37:15worry. I'll have a serious talk with him.

00:37:17A serious talk? He's stirring up trouble in our marriage. And all you give is a talk?

00:37:23Maybe he just loves me too much. That's why he's acting like this. Trust me, he won't do anything like

00:37:26that again.

00:37:27You mean you won't date anymore? Or he won't send me any more photos?

00:37:30Of course no dates!

00:37:33Honey, there's absolutely nothing between us. You have to believe me. Don't be mad, okay?

00:37:37Don't try that with me. If you say all those photos are fake, then what about this? How to explain

00:37:45this?

00:37:45What's this?

00:37:46My payroll card and my bank statement. Over the years, with my salary and commissions.

00:37:51Combined, it's got to be over a million. The card's always been in your hand.

00:37:53So why is there only $6.59? Because you spent all damn money supporting Nathan Reed.

00:37:58All those luxury goods, at couples hotels, romantic restaurants. You two really went all out!

00:38:03No honey, you've got it all wrong. I spent the money entertaining clients. It had nothing to do with Nathan

00:38:08at all!

00:38:09Oh yeah? Which client? Tell me, I'll go ask them myself.

00:38:13Which client is it?

00:38:14It's the...

00:38:15What? Can't say it out loud? All the major clients, I brought them in. Still want to lie to me?

00:38:21Babe, I just made a stupid mistake. But it was just dinner with him! I didn't do anything else, I

00:38:26swear! Babe, I never betrayed our mayor, not once!

00:38:29You didn't betray me? You think I'm an idiot? Oh, those nights at couples hotels, were you just sightseeing?

00:38:35Is there really no way to fix this? What if I refuse?

00:38:39Then I'll see you in court. I've already hired a lawyer. All the money you spent on Nathan Reed. I

00:38:45want every cent back. You both better get ready. Otherwise, just wait for the lawsuit.

00:38:53Edward! I made a mistake! A mistake every woman might make! Do you really have to divorce me over this?

00:38:58Edward! If you walk out that door today, don't ever come back! You'll regret this!

00:39:03The only thing I regret is not seeing your true intentions sooner.

00:39:07Edward Quinn! Don't get ahead of yourself! You really think the company can't run without you? Nathan's already found a

00:39:12solution! You'll never measure up to him in this lifetime!

00:39:25Miss Morgan, Mr. Quinn is here.

00:39:27Edward, long time no see.

00:39:29Long time no see.

00:39:30So what are you?

00:39:31Well, I got kicked out. So I came to see if you would take me in.

00:39:35Well then, I guess I'll just have to grudgingly take you in. Mary, take Mr. Quinn's things back to my

00:39:40place first.

00:39:40Yes, Miss Morgan. I've never seen her this happy before. Who exactly is this Mr. Quinn?

00:39:46Edward, I'm really happy you're here. You have no idea. My dad handed me a company, but I have no

00:39:51clue how to run it. Or how to bring in clients. But now, with you here, you can help me

00:39:55out.

00:39:55If you ask, how could I say no?

00:39:57That's awesome. From now on, you're my company's general manager.

00:40:01No, no, no. I'm just a regular salesperson. I can't take on that role. Besides, I'm new here. Jumping straight

00:40:05to the top would be hard for people to accept.

00:40:07Hmm. Well then, how about be the sales director? Annual salary 200k plus a 15% commission. Sounds good.

00:40:14Honey, you're just a regular employee, so your salary can't be too high. How about a base salary of $8

00:40:19,000 plus a 5% sales commission?

00:40:22Isn't that... a bit much?

00:40:24Not really. That's the going rate for directors these days. Besides, I know your skills are way better than most

00:40:29people out there.

00:40:30So this is what it feels like to have my words reckoned. I accept.

00:40:33Really? That's fantastic. Really? That's fantastic.

00:40:43Oh. Alright then, let me show you your place first. Come on.

00:40:47Hey, no rush. Take me to the sales department first.

00:40:49I've heard you're a total workaholic. Your reputation really precedes you.

00:40:52Didn't expect Ms. Morgan herself to take notice of a regular sales guy.

00:40:55Uh, yeah. Alright then, I'll take you to the company first.

00:40:59Let's go.

00:41:00Come on, let's get moving.

00:41:06This is the sales department.

00:41:08These are your employees?

00:41:09Honestly, my hands are tied. On my first day as manager, the previous sales director demanded a raise for the

00:41:14whole team.

00:41:15I said no, so he quit. And the rest of them don't take me seriously at all.

00:41:19You know, you just don't have the experience. And you are too soft. That's why they walk all over you.

00:41:23With them, you can't be too gentle.

00:41:24But, if they all quit together, we will have no clients. That would be a disaster.

00:41:28Leave the clients to me. Whatcha learn?

00:41:33Wait, what? Why's the wifi down?

00:41:34Who unplugged the network cable?

00:41:36I did.

00:41:37Who the hell are you to pull my cable?

00:41:38I'm the new sales director.

00:41:40Everyone, put your phones down and get in front of me in five seconds. Otherwise, you're all fired.

00:41:46Who the hell are you to fire us all?

00:41:48Three.

00:41:49Miss Morgan, is this what you want too?

00:41:51Two.

00:41:52Miss Morgan, if you dare fire us, I can guarantee you'll never land another client.

00:41:55One.

00:41:56Perfect. You're all fired.

00:41:58Miss Morgan, call HR over here and process their termination.

00:42:02Edward, don't you think this is a bit much?

00:42:04Miss Morgan, is this the director you board in? Looks like he's nothing but a reckless rookie.

00:42:08Exactly, Miss Morgan. Don't say we didn't warn ya. With this kid running things, the company will be out of

00:42:11business within a month.

00:42:12Relax. I know what I'm doing.

00:42:15You're all fired now. Whether the company goes under, it's no longer your concern.

00:42:21Miss Morgan, when you kicked me out of the company, you thought you'd bring in some kind of superstar.

00:42:26Didn't expect you to just hire some rookie.

00:42:29Who's he?

00:42:29The former director. Every salesperson here used to work for him.

00:42:33Miss Morgan, don't say I didn't warn you. The Morgan family might be the richest in Northbridge, but you're not

00:42:38the only heir.

00:42:40If, by the end of the month, you can't hit at least a hundred million in sales, your half-brother

00:42:45won't let you off the hook.

00:42:47What does he mean by that?

00:42:49Three months ago, my dad gave me and my brother each our own company.

00:42:52He said whoever had better numbers in three months would become the primary heir.

00:42:56It's already been two months. His numbers are almost a hundred million higher than mine.

00:43:00Why did you tell me sooner?

00:43:01I just don't want to put too much pressure on you.

00:43:04Don't worry. I've got this.

00:43:06You don't need to stress about this company's performance anymore.

00:43:10A hundred million in sales? That's not so hard.

00:43:14Did you hear what this rookie just said? A hundred million? No problem?

00:43:17Back when we had over a dozen people, we barely hit thirty million a month.

00:43:20Where does he get that confidence?

00:43:22If you ask me, he's just a fraud. Don't let him fool you.

00:43:25Your limits aren't mine to share. You might be useless, but I'm not.

00:43:29Man, you sure talk big. In Northbridge, aside from that guy, the one who has been called the sales god,

00:43:34not a single person could single-handedly bring in one hundred million in a month.

00:43:38The sales god? Who's that?

00:43:41You don't even know the sales god? Wow, you really are out of the loop.

00:43:44He took a start-up and turned it into an industry leader in just eight years.

00:43:48That's right. And he's even the mentor of Director Bennett.

00:43:51Mm-hmm. Five years ago, I attended one of his lectures.

00:43:54From that moment on, it was like a light bulb went off in my head.

00:43:57Ever since then, my sales career has been smooth sailing.

00:44:00Eight years. From a start-up to the industry leader. Are they talking about me?

00:44:04Director Bennett, are you the one who called him the sales god?

00:44:08What are you implying? Got a problem?

00:44:10No. I never said I didn't agree. But have you ever considered?

00:44:13Maybe I am the sales god you keep talking about.

00:44:16Oh, come on. Quit bragging.

00:44:17If you're the god, I'll leave this table right now.

00:44:20If you are the god, I'll leave every desk in this office.

00:44:22We'll remember what you said. Don't try to back out later.

00:44:26Miss Morgan, do you believe in me?

00:44:28Since I brought you in, I'm going to trust you completely.

00:44:31Edward, Nathan worked hard to land this deal. Why are you trying to mess it up?

00:44:34Lauren, trust me. This client is a scam artist. I don't want the company to take a loss.

00:44:38Why do you think everyone's a scammer?

00:44:40I think you're just jealous. He's a new hire but already closed the deal.

00:44:42They asked you to mentor him, not to put him down.

00:44:45So this is how being trusted feels. Since you believe in me, I won't let you down.

00:44:51Right here, right now. I promise. I'll hit 200 million in sales within a month. If I don't, I'll resign

00:44:57on my own.

00:44:59Edward, no need to swear on it. Whether you pull it off or not, I will have your back.

00:45:03Don't worry. If I say I'll do something, you can count on it.

00:45:07Oh, stop bragging.

00:45:09200 million in a month. Do you realize what that means?

00:45:12Miss Morgan, I'm giving you one last chance. Invite me back with some respect.

00:45:16Double the salary for me and my brothers. Then I'll get back to work for you and help you secure

00:45:21the Morgan Group.

00:45:23Inheritance!

00:45:24Keep dreaming.

00:45:25Miss Morgan, don't let your pride get in the way.

00:45:31Do you really believe this kid can single-handedly bring in 200 million in sales for you?

00:45:37One person pulling off 200 million in a month is honestly a stretch.

00:45:40See? Even he's backing down. Miss Morgan, you should just take Mr. Bennett's offer.

00:45:45Edward, if you can't handle it, it's really okay.

00:45:49Relax.

00:45:51I'm just saying it's tough for one person, but I never said I'd be doing it alone.

00:45:55What? You're planning to bring in a whole team?

00:45:58Miss Morgan, I'll need a budget to buy back my entire old team.

00:46:01They are way better than this bunch.

00:46:03Fine. Have it your way.

00:46:06Security!

00:46:07These people are already fired. Get them all out of here.

00:46:13You lousy guard. I'll remember this. Wait till I come back. First thing I'll do is get you fired.

00:46:17Sure. We'll see that if you return, idiot.

00:46:19What?

00:46:19Nick, calm down. Don't stoop to the guards level.

00:46:22Geez. Nick, what do we do now? I still have a mortgage to pay.

00:46:25Yeah. My kid's still in school. No income now. What am I supposed to do?

00:46:28Alright. Everyone quiet down. Don't worry, guys. I've still got Lucas backing me up.

00:46:32Lucas Morgan? Isn't that Claire Morgan, our boss's brother? Are you sabotaging Claire's business just to help Lucas win?

00:46:37That's right. Once Lucas takes over Morgan Group, even the scraps from his fingers will be enough for us to

00:46:45live large.

00:46:45From now on, the sales department will follow new rules. Everyone has to clock in every day. If you're on

00:46:50a business trip, you have to upload a photo every half hour. Miss just one, you'll lose half a day's

00:46:55pay.

00:46:56Nathan, you're making things hard for us. A photo every 30 minutes? Who has time for that when swamped?

00:47:01Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is just you picking on us. Everyone shut up. Look at you all. Spoiled by Edward.

00:47:05Everyone's slacking off. It's so disgraceful.

00:47:07Since Lauren put me in charge as sales director, I'm going to run a tight ship. One more thing. We're

00:47:12outside. Call me Mr. Reed.

00:47:15Earlier, you called me by my first name. That cost you half a month's pay.

00:47:19Nathan, don't push it too far. It's the second time. I'm docking you a month's pay.

00:47:25I quit.

00:47:26Leonard, let's talk this through. Why act on impulse?

00:47:28Hook my ass. He's at the bottom of the sales board. A pretty boy climbing with connections. Where does he

00:47:32get that arrogance?

00:47:33Shut up. Security. Get him out of here. Don't bother. I'll leave myself.

00:47:37Leonard, Leonard. Miss Carter. Leonard's been with us for years. Working hard and dedicated. At the very least, he's put

00:47:43in a grind.

00:47:44Nathan Reed was appointed as sales director by me. If you disrespect him, you're disrespecting me. Got kicked out. He

00:47:50brought it on himself.

00:47:51You...

00:47:52Now, does anyone else have a problem?

00:47:56Good. Next. Here's the second rule. All sales departments need to go expand into other regions. Also, travel reimbursements are

00:48:03cut in half.

00:48:04If you missed your targets this month, your base salary gets cut in half. Missed your targets two months in

00:48:07a row, you're fired on the spot.

00:48:14What are you doing?

00:48:16Oh, just compiling our current client data, planning follow-up sales strategies.

00:48:20Alright, take a break. Let's go grab some food.

00:48:26By the way, you're coming with me to an industry networking event.

00:48:29No problem.

00:48:37Welcome.

00:48:40What's going on?

00:48:42Leonard, what are you doing here?

00:48:44Edward, who's this?

00:48:46Oh, this is my new boss, Miss Morgan.

00:48:48Nice to meet you.

00:48:48Leonard, how did you end up working security here?

00:48:50Edward, ever since you left, Nathan's been acting out. Just because he's the director, he's not just cut the travel

00:48:55budget,

00:48:55but also requires travelers to send a work photo every half an hour. If you don't, they dock your pay.

00:49:00I couldn't take it anymore, so I argued with him. And then, I got fired.

00:49:03That's just ridiculous. Didn't Lauren do anything?

00:49:05She's completely lost her mind over him. She didn't care. They didn't even help him.

00:49:08If you ask me, that company's finished.

00:49:11Forget it. Whatever he wants. If he wants to mess up, it's his own problem.

00:49:14I'm short-handed now. Come work for me. I'll double your salary.

00:49:17Uh, are you sure?

00:49:18If Edward says it, you can count on it.

00:49:20Wow, that's amazing. But what about Kurt and the others?

00:49:22Don't worry. Miss Morgan here has got real influence.

00:49:25We'll bring all the guys over and let Nathan Reed run his team solo.

00:49:29Ha! Oh, thank you, Ed. Thank you, Miss Morgan.

00:49:31No need to be so formal. Come on. Let's head to the networking event.

00:49:47What's up with this hotel? How come just anyone can walk in?

00:49:50Did a security guard sneak in here? You don't know this is a networking event hosted by the Reed family?

00:49:54The Reeds represent the Morgans here in Rivermore.

00:49:58No one can match their influence.

00:49:59Unbelievable. Someone is causing trouble here.

00:50:02Yeah. Wait till Mr. Victor Reed shows up. They're in for it.

00:50:05You hear that? Get out of here while you can.

00:50:07Who said he's a security guard?

00:50:09He's wearing the uniform. What else would he be?

00:50:11Don't tell me. You're trying to protect him.

00:50:13Edward, why'd you bring him here?

00:50:15If Victor Reed arrives, kick him out. There's still time.

00:50:18Lauren Carter, I didn't expect you to be disco.

00:50:20Leonard has worked hard for years. You just fire him like that?

00:50:23He refused to follow Nathan's management and argue with people in public.

00:50:26Firing him, how is that not justified?

00:50:28So he deserves it, huh?

00:50:30If you ask me, with people like that in our company, no wonder it's going under.

00:50:34Leonard works for me now. He's not a guard.

00:50:36He's an industry professional.

00:50:38Now, does he have the right to attend this event?

00:50:42If he's really in the business, then he's definitely qualified.

00:50:45From what I've heard, you already left Lauren's company.

00:50:48You're basically unemployed now.

00:50:50What employees?

00:50:51That's right. Edward, you're just jobless at this point.

00:50:54What are you doing here? Hurry up and leave.

00:50:56Otherwise, when Victor gets here, you're screwed.

00:50:57He has zero tolerance for nonsense.

00:50:59Lauren Carter, don't tell me I can't find another job after leaving you.

00:51:04It's tough out there right now. And with your education, of course it's not easy for you.

00:51:08Exactly. Even if you did land something in a rush, it'd just be an entry-level sales job.

00:51:12You employees? Next time you lie, try rehearsing it first.

00:51:15Who said Edward can't get a job?

00:51:16You guys are just blind to his talent, but I can see it.

00:51:19And who are you?

00:51:20I'm the CEO of Shine Sun Corporation.

00:51:23Edward is currently the sales director I hired.

00:51:27Edward, so that's why you were in such a rush to the divorce plan.

00:51:30Turns out you just wanted to be with her.

00:51:32Lauren Carter, you know exactly why we're getting divorced.

00:51:35It has nothing to do with Claire.

00:51:36Oh, nothing.

00:51:38She's practically glued to your side.

00:51:41Lauren, for all we know, they've been hooking up for a while.

00:51:43He's probably cheated more times than I can count.

00:51:46Wow, Edward.

00:51:47I even felt guilty before in trying to make it up to you.

00:51:49Turns out you were cheating all along.

00:51:51How could you do this to me?

00:51:52That's not true.

00:51:52I only reached out to Edward after learning about your divorce.

00:51:55We hadn't spoken before then at all.

00:51:56Edward never cheated on you.

00:51:57What business do you have talking to us right now?

00:51:59Why are you putting in?

00:52:00I...

00:52:00What?

00:52:00Let me make this clear.

00:52:02Edward and I aren't divorced yet.

00:52:04If you try to get between us, you're just a homewrecker.

00:52:06A homewrecker showing up?

00:52:07At Victor's party?

00:52:08Don't you have any shame?

00:52:10I heard Victor is super devoted, in love with the same woman for over a decade.

00:52:13Yeah, and he especially hates those homewreckers.

00:52:15Looks like those two are in for it now.

00:52:17Don't listen to him.

00:52:18I'm not a homewrecker, and Edward never cheated.

00:52:20Then why did you bring my husband here, acting so close?

00:52:23You're not cheating?

00:52:24Enough!

00:52:29Hey little girl, aren't you scared going home alone?

00:52:31Want me to walk you home?

00:52:32I'm not scared.

00:52:33I don't need you guys.

00:52:35When a woman says no, she really means yes.

00:52:37Hey man, why don't you walk her home already?

00:52:44Lauren Carter, say whatever you want about me, but don't drag Claire into this.

00:52:48Who's dragging her?

00:52:49He brought her here in front of everyone.

00:52:50If Victor sees this, he'd definitely be pissed off.

00:52:53I heard, at today's conference, he'll represent the Morgans to pick a new investor.

00:52:58That's huge news for every single one of us.

00:53:00Yeah, but the two of them are here.

00:53:02If they upset Victor, and it comes back on us, we're screwed.

00:53:06Exactly.

00:53:07So, before he shows up, get those two out of here.

00:53:13Nathan, Lauren Carter, you really know how to play the victim.

00:53:17The way you double standard everything is honestly unbeatable.

00:53:19Everyone.

00:53:20Our relationships are completely about board.

00:53:22There's nothing improper at all.

00:53:24If you're talking about anyone here cheating or being the other woman,

00:53:27it's actually them.

00:53:29I've got the proof right here, on my phone.

00:53:32Let me take a look.

00:53:34It really is a-

00:53:35I can't believe it's them cheating and being a side piece.

00:53:37Edward, why are you showing our private stuff to everyone?

00:53:40So what?

00:53:41You and Nathan can throw accusations about me and Claire with no proof,

00:53:44but when I have evidence, I can't expose your affair with him.

00:53:47How many times do I have to explain?

00:53:48There's nothing between us.

00:53:49Why do you keep bringing up old grudges?

00:53:51I never wanted to put these photos out there, but you started slendering us first.

00:53:54Lauren Carter, I'll say this.

00:53:56You reap what you sow.

00:53:58Everyone.

00:53:59Now, it's pretty clear who's cheating and who's the home wrecker.

00:54:03So, the ones who should be kicked out are them.

00:54:08Nathan, what do we do?

00:54:10If we can't get the mortgage investment, we won't last much longer.

00:54:13Think of something fast.

00:54:14Don't worry.

00:54:15As long as I'm here, we're not getting kicked out.

00:54:17Because Victor is my brother.

00:54:20You're his younger brother?

00:54:22Why didn't you tell me before?

00:54:23Because I don't want to rely on my family.

00:54:25I want to take off and shine all on my own.

00:54:28Nathan, you're amazing.

00:54:30How did I not know Victor had a brother?

00:54:32What did you say?

00:54:33Uh, nothing.

00:54:34I can't believe he's Victor's younger brother.

00:54:37Hello.

00:54:38I'm the CEO of Huawei Group.

00:54:39I look forward to working with you.

00:54:41No problem.

00:54:42My brother will be here any minute.

00:54:44What are you waiting for?

00:54:45Get these two out of here.

00:54:47Did you two not hear that?

00:54:49Get lost.

00:54:50Do you really believe he's Victor's younger brother?

00:54:52Victor will be here soon.

00:54:53Does he have a death wish?

00:54:55Pretending to be his brother?

00:54:56Stop talking.

00:54:57Get out.

00:54:58I'm calling security.

00:54:59Yeah.

00:54:59Get out of here.

00:55:00Get out of here.

00:55:01Get out of here.

00:55:04Let's go for now.

00:55:05A wise man knows me to back down.

00:55:08Claire.

00:55:09Claire.

00:55:11Edward.

00:55:11Don't worry.

00:55:12Victor would never kick me out.

00:55:14Why?

00:55:15Still not leaving.

00:55:16Security.

00:55:17Throw these three out.

00:55:19Let go.

00:55:20Claire.

00:55:21Mr. Victor, Reed is here.

00:55:28What are you all doing?

00:55:32Victor, you're here.

00:55:34Who are you?

00:55:35My grandpa's godfather is your great grandpa's assistant.

00:55:37He was given the surname Reed.

00:55:38We actually met at the memorial ceremony.

00:55:40Don't you remember?

00:55:41Oh.

00:55:42Got it.

00:55:42Did I explain Nathan to be Victor's brother?

00:55:44I knew I made the right choice.

00:55:46Nice to meet you.

00:55:48What's going on here?

00:55:49Those two.

00:55:50One cheated while married.

00:55:51The other is a home record.

00:55:52What a pair of scumbags.

00:55:53Kick them out now.

00:55:54If they can't be loyal to their own partners, how am I supposed to trust them with business?

00:55:58Throw them all out.

00:56:00Blacklist them across Rivermore.

00:56:01Yes, sir.

00:56:02Security.

00:56:02Get them out of here.

00:56:03Victor.

00:56:04It's Claire.

00:56:04Help me.

00:56:05Claire.

00:56:07Let go of her.

00:56:08Claire.

00:56:09It really is you.

00:56:11Claire.

00:56:12It's really you.

00:56:12I never thought you'd come.

00:56:13I'm so happy to see you.

00:56:15Edward.

00:56:16Are you okay?

00:56:17I'm fine.

00:56:19So, what's going on?

00:56:20I've known Victor for a long time.

00:56:21I had no idea.

00:56:23He'd come here.

00:56:24Claire.

00:56:25Who is he?

00:56:27This is the Edward I always tell you about.

00:56:29Back when I was missing from my family, he helped me a lot.

00:56:31Claire.

00:56:32So this is the one who owns your heart.

00:56:34I chased after you for 10 years.

00:56:36And in the end, I still lost.

00:56:37They say he chased a girl for 10 years.

00:56:40Could it be Claire?

00:56:41The way he's looking at me.

00:56:43Does he see me as a rival in love?

00:56:45Victor Reed.

00:56:47Edward Quinn.

00:56:57Guess I lost.

00:56:58You are stronger than me.

00:57:02Victor, why are you using so much force?

00:57:05Are you okay?

00:57:06I'm fine.

00:57:08I'm hurting too.

00:57:09Oh right.

00:57:10Sir, Nathan Reed here claimed he's your younger brother.

00:57:13Is that true?

00:57:13Making up fake family ties and throwing his weight around in my name.

00:57:18Feels good, huh?

00:57:19No, Victor, no.

00:57:20Sir, I'm not making anything up.

00:57:22The family tree says I'm really your younger brother.

00:57:24Our connection.

00:57:25We couldn't be more distant if you tried.

00:57:27If you dare use my name to throw your weight around again, I won't let it slide.

00:57:30Get out.

00:57:31Out!

00:57:32Nathan, what's going on here?

00:57:38I'm in a really bad mood today.

00:57:40Everyone get out.

00:57:41Move it.

00:57:42Hurry up.

00:57:47Victor, isn't today the industry meeting?

00:57:49Why did you kick everyone out?

00:57:51This whole event was set up just for you.

00:57:53It's you and your brother's test.

00:57:54I can't step in directly.

00:57:55I was hoping to find a reliable company.

00:57:57But honestly, these idiots have no vision at all.

00:57:59None of them is worth trusting.

00:58:01Sir, we appreciate your good intentions.

00:58:04As the new sales director at Claire's company, of course, I'll help her with the trial.

00:58:08You?

00:58:09Seriously?

00:58:11Do you have any idea how important this trial is for Claire?

00:58:14All right, Victor.

00:58:15You don't have to say any more.

00:58:16I trust Edward.

00:58:18You honestly have no idea what kind of spell this guy's cast on you.

00:58:22Have you thought about what if you fail?

00:58:24If we fail, we lose everything.

00:58:25Just go back to the way things were before.

00:58:27Besides, I trust Edward.

00:58:29He won't abandon me.

00:58:30Don't worry.

00:58:31I won't fail.

00:58:32And I'll never leave you.

00:58:34I can't with you two.

00:58:35I'm out of here.

00:58:40Edward, so what should we do next?

00:58:43Nathan and Lauren have been throwing their weight around.

00:58:46I'm sure everyone's fed up with them.

00:58:48Perfect timing.

00:58:48I'm short on people right now.

00:58:50Gather everyone up.

00:58:51Let's make it happen.

00:58:52All right.

00:58:52Let's do this.

00:58:54Let's go.

00:58:57Nathan, what the hell is going on?

00:58:59Didn't you say you were Victor's younger brother?

00:59:01He doesn't even know who you are.

00:59:03Lauren, let me explain.

00:59:04I really am his brother, but we're not that close.

00:59:07He just did this today to piss me off.

00:59:08I bet it's because of Edward.

00:59:10What does this have to do with Edward?

00:59:12Rumor has it Edward's new girlfriend is the one Victor has been chasing for.

00:59:15Edward and her are super close.

00:59:17So of course Victor is pissed.

00:59:18He kicked us out today probably just to teach Edward to listen.

00:59:20Makes sense.

00:59:21No wonder Victor looked at that girl like something was off.

00:59:25Damn you, Edward.

00:59:26Even now you're screwing me over.

00:59:28You're making me lose on Victor's investment.

00:59:30Lauren, don't worry.

00:59:31I've prepared two backup plans.

00:59:33Even if we can't get the investment, we can still save the company by expanding it.

00:59:37Miss Carter.

00:59:38Come in.

00:59:40Miss Carter.

00:59:41Mr. Reed.

00:59:42The entire sales team just resigned.

00:59:43What?

00:59:44Here's their resignation letter.

00:59:47Did this happen?

00:59:49They said...

00:59:51Tell me so I can fix this and get back to them.

00:59:53They said as long as Nathan Reed is still here, they're not coming back.

00:59:56What?

00:59:59These punks!

01:00:00How could this happen?

01:00:02What are we supposed to do now?

01:00:04Miss Carter.

01:00:04Frankly speaking.

01:00:05If you keep trusting this idiot, our company is going down.

01:00:08Hey.

01:00:09Watch your mouth.

01:00:10Say one more word and I'll fire you on the phone.

01:00:11I don't need you to fire me.

01:00:12I quit.

01:00:13Miss Carter.

01:00:14What I just said was my last piece of advice.

01:00:18Am I really wrong about this?

01:00:20Lauren.

01:00:21Even you don't believe me now?

01:00:23Your previous employees were all uneducated fools.

01:00:25They can't understand my advanced management methods from a top university overseas.

01:00:28We're better off without them.

01:00:29I'll definitely help you set up a new sales team.

01:00:32Yeah, right.

01:00:33Nathan's a PhD.

01:00:34He must know what he's talking about.

01:00:37No way.

01:00:38Of course I believe you.

01:00:40Just go ahead.

01:00:40Okay.

01:00:41I booked a private room at the Garden Bistro.

01:00:43Let's go together.

01:00:43I have a surprise for you.

01:00:44Right?

01:00:45Come on.

01:00:46Let's all raise a glass to Miss Morgan.

01:00:48No need to be so formal.

01:00:49I believe, with Mr. Quinn leading us, our company is sure to thrive.

01:00:53Cheers.

01:00:54To Miss Morgan.

01:00:55To Miss Morgan.

01:00:56Cheers.

01:00:58Just enjoy yourselves.

01:01:02Edward.

01:01:03It's really you who stole my employees.

01:01:04Are you seriously trying to ruin me?

01:01:08Miss Carter, that's not fair the way you put it.

01:01:10We were forced out by this idiot.

01:01:11What's that got to do with Edward?

01:01:13Exactly.

01:01:14He doesn't know a thing.

01:01:14Yet loves to boss people, bro.

01:01:16The rules he sets never take the staff into account.

01:01:18No decent person can work at it.

01:01:19You're talking nonsense.

01:01:21You don't get my advanced style.

01:01:23Because your education, I won't allow it.

01:01:25So, dear Dr. Reed, how did you manage to run off all your own subordinates?

01:01:30So, are you planning to chase clients yourself?

01:01:33With him?

01:01:34He stole so many of our clients.

01:01:35But he's still dead last.

01:01:37Honestly, the guy's just useless.

01:01:39Believing he can bring in business is like believing the sun will rise in the west.

01:01:42Exactly.

01:01:45Nathan, are you okay?

01:01:46You guys are way out of line.

01:01:48Mr. Reed, there you are.

01:01:50Director Bennett, you finally made it.

01:01:52Nathan, these people are-

01:01:54Director Bennett, the surprise I told you about.

01:01:59Surprise?

01:02:00What do you mean?

01:02:01Director Bennett is pretty famous in the industry.

01:02:03He's actually the protege of the Sales God.

01:02:05He and his team.

01:02:06They're the new sales team I built for you.

01:02:08Sales God?

01:02:09Do you even know who the Sales God is?

01:02:12No idea.

01:02:13Never heard of that title.

01:02:15Well, it's true.

01:02:16He single-handedly keeps a company going.

01:02:18In just eight years, he turned a startup into an industry leader.

01:02:22A legend like that totally deserves the title of Sales God, right?

01:02:27Hey, not to brag, but I'm actually his protege.

01:02:30Why does the way he describes his God sound like Edward?

01:02:34Honestly, it does.

01:02:35So you must have had a high position at your last company, right?

01:02:38Nathan, how did you manage to recruit him?

01:02:40Of course.

01:02:41It took some work.

01:02:43Why are you laughing?

01:02:44You're treating a team I just fired.

01:02:46Like they're some kind of treasure.

01:02:50Fired?

01:02:51What's going on?

01:02:52Uh, Lauren, I've heard about this.

01:02:54Edward was just jealous of Mr. Bennett's talent.

01:02:56That's why he fired him.

01:02:57Yeah, exactly.

01:02:58That's what happened.

01:02:59Edward, I never thought you were like this.

01:03:01Even at my company, you were jealous of Nathan.

01:03:03Now you're doing the same thing.

01:03:05Miss Morgan, I hope you'll think twice before working with him.

01:03:08My company's business is none of your concern.

01:03:11Besides, I trust Edward.

01:03:14Some people just can't take honest advice.

01:03:17Director Bennett, Nathan, let's go.

01:03:18Hold on.

01:03:19There's still half a month left in our cooling off period.

01:03:22I hope I'll see you at the courthouse then.

01:03:24Fine, let's break up.

01:03:25But when my company gets huge, don't keep crawling back.

01:03:28With those two hidden talents, your company is really blast.

01:03:32Oh, by the way, make sure all the money you spent on Nathan is ready.

01:03:36That's marital property.

01:03:38And don't forget, they don't need to be split.

01:03:40Let's go.

01:03:41Not even gonna bother?

01:03:42Let's go, Mr. Bennett.

01:03:43Try another place.

01:03:44What now?

01:03:45Drink.

01:03:46Come on, come on, come on, come on.

01:03:47Let's raise the glass to Edward and to Claire.

01:03:59Edward, thank you.

01:04:01In just half a month, my company's pulled in nearly 200 million.

01:04:04That's enough for me to win this match.

01:04:06Well, what can I say?

01:04:07I'm your employee after all.

01:04:09Just an employee, huh?

01:04:11What?

01:04:13But the numbers aren't stable yet.

01:04:15There are still 10 days left before the deadline.

01:04:16Your brother might use your family's influence and could easily catch up.

01:04:20You don't have to worry about that.

01:04:21The rules say no one's allowed to use family connections.

01:04:23Claire, you're just too naive.

01:04:25Not everyone follows the rules, especially when there's so much at stake.

01:04:29But don't worry, I'll help you.

01:04:31Hmm.

01:04:32Edward, I believe in you.

01:04:36So you're saying my sister's performance has surpassed mine?

01:04:42You're saying my younger sister has out before me.

01:04:46Yes, Mr. Morgan.

01:04:49Nick, this is all you're doing?

01:04:50Please give me a break.

01:04:51I was just doing my job just fine.

01:04:53Who would have thought that Claire would find some new sales director and kick me out?

01:04:58It's got nothing to do with me.

01:04:59What am I supposed to do?

01:05:00Mr. Morgan, you can't blame Nick entirely for this.

01:05:02As a new director, you should blame.

01:05:04He's just too good.

01:05:08I couldn't handle it here.

01:05:10And I can't point fingers there, huh?

01:05:12Handing Claire all those billions in ass.

01:05:14And it's you, Terry.

01:05:1520 years ago, you just didn't drown that little brat for me.

01:05:18Please calm down.

01:05:19It was my fault 20 years ago.

01:05:20I didn't expect her to be so lucky.

01:05:21Someone saved her after I threw her in the water.

01:05:23But the way things have turned out now, it's not like there's nothing we can do.

01:05:26So tell me what can we do?

01:05:27How my grandfather left me with this tiny company?

01:05:30What choice do I have?

01:05:31Mr. Morgan, that's not quite right.

01:05:33With your status and position, even without relying on a family's influence, who would

01:05:37dare not to listen to you?

01:05:39But my grandfather won't let me reveal my identity.

01:05:41His intention is not to let you expose your identity yourself, but if someone else finds

01:05:45out about you through other channels.

01:05:48Oh, I get it now.

01:05:51Edward, bad news.

01:05:53All the clients we had deals with are all trying to back out.

01:05:57Oh, Edward, why aren't you anxious?

01:05:58Every client has canceled on the contracts.

01:06:00My client's canceled too.

01:06:01Mine did as well.

01:06:02Mine did too.

01:06:03Mine did too.

01:06:05Schedule meetings with your clients now.

01:06:15What happened?

01:06:16What's going on?

01:06:17It's nothing.

01:06:18All the clients have canceled their contracts.

01:06:20What?

01:06:20They're all pulled out?

01:06:22So what do we do now?

01:06:23Relax.

01:06:24It's not a big deal.

01:06:25I saw this coming.

01:06:26Remember what I told you back in the office?

01:06:31You said my brother used our family's influence.

01:06:33I'm going to see my grandpa.

01:06:34Don't rush.

01:06:36He's not stupid.

01:06:37He definitely won't break the rules openly.

01:06:39But behind the scenes, he's letting his people drop hints that he's a Morgan.

01:06:42In all of Rivermore, who would dare go against him?

01:06:45So what do we do now?

01:06:46Since I expected this, I already got a plan.

01:06:51Look, here comes the game changer.

01:06:56Hello?

01:06:56Mr. Foster?

01:06:58Edward, it's something else.

01:06:59That Nick Bennett, he really did come to see me.

01:07:01He said you have fun to the Morgan family.

01:07:03Anyone who works with you is basically going against the Morgans.

01:07:05But Edward, don't worry.

01:07:06You know me.

01:07:07I'm a man of my word.

01:07:08There's no way I'm amending the contract.

01:07:09No.

01:07:10Terminate.

01:07:11What?

01:07:11Relax.

01:07:11I know what-

01:07:13Claire, seven more days, and you'll become the heir to the richest family.

01:07:17I don't care about being some billionaire.

01:07:19The only thing I care-

01:07:22Hello?

01:07:22Edward, don't be late for our divorce appointment tomorrow morning.

01:07:27I've waited so long for this day.

01:07:31Edward, let me go with you tomorrow.

01:07:35Alright.

01:07:40Oh, Edward.

01:07:41I heard your company's been losing a ton of clients lately.

01:07:44Hurts.

01:07:45Doesn't it?

01:07:46You all know exactly how that feels, do you?

01:07:48You-

01:07:50You-

01:07:54I admit, before I did lose a small round to you.

01:07:57But, there's an old saying, winning first doesn't count, winning last is what matters right now.

01:08:04You're bound to lose.

01:08:05Whether I've lost or not, it's not up to you.

01:08:08Alright, Edward.

01:08:08Stop being so stubborn.

01:08:10You've already failed.

01:08:11In this woman's eyes, you're no use to her anymore.

01:08:13She's going to dump you sooner or later.

01:08:15I'll give you one more chance.

01:08:18As long as you accept Nathan, I won't go through the divorce.

01:08:21Oh, you really have no shame.

01:08:24Let me tell you.

01:08:26I'll never abandon Edward Quinn, so just give up already.

01:08:31You- You really are going to say yes?

01:08:39What?

01:08:40You don't trust me that much?

01:08:41No, I just-

01:08:42It's okay.

01:08:44I don't need this chance.

01:08:45Let's go.

01:08:46Let's get divorced.

01:08:55Oh, by the way, I did the math.

01:08:58During our marriage, you spent a total of one and half a million on Nathan.

01:09:02I've already hired a lawyer to file a lawsuit.

01:09:04If you don't pay it back within a week, let's wait for the court to enforce it.

01:09:08Let's go.

01:09:15Here's to celebrating your divorce and return to single life.

01:09:19Cheers.

01:09:20Cheers.

01:09:25Now that I'm single again, are you happy?

01:09:27Happy?

01:09:28Of course I'm happy.

01:09:29Edward, do you know?

01:09:30Ever since a long, long time ago, I've already had feelings for you.

01:09:35Claire, you're drunk.

01:09:37I'm not drunk.

01:09:39Edward, I'm saying I have liked you for a long time.

01:09:52Let me help you get some rest.

01:10:05Edward, don't go.

01:10:06Edward, don't go.

01:10:10Edward, don't go.

01:10:20Edward.

01:10:31Edward, don't go.

01:10:33Edward, don't leave me again, okay?

01:10:35Hey, here's-

01:10:38Relax. How could I ever leave you?

01:10:41Let's have breakfast.

01:10:52Edward, don't stress yourself out too much.

01:10:54Even if I lose today, and don't inherit the family business, I won't blame you.

01:10:58It's enough just to have you with me. Let's go.

01:11:00Well, well, didn't you two already go bankrupt?

01:11:02What are you doing here?

01:11:04Edward, this isn't the place for you. Leave now.

01:11:06When Mr. Morgan gets here, I won't be able to protect you.

01:11:09Then why don't you tell me? What kind of place is this?

01:11:11Why shouldn't I be here?

01:11:12Edward Quinn, don't push your luck.

01:11:14Today, the Morgan family is about to announce they are here.

01:11:16They'll shake up the entire business world.

01:11:18All the top tycoons are fighting too with the nail to get in.

01:11:21It took us ages to get our invitation.

01:11:23You're about to go bankrupt. How could you have a ticket?

01:11:26How we got in is none of your business.

01:11:28Let's just go.

01:11:29Stop right there. This is Morgan territory.

01:11:32For you to run wild.

01:11:33Security!

01:11:34Is there a problem, sir?

01:11:35Kick these two out. They don't have tickets and they have no business being here.

01:11:38Excuse me, do you have invitations?

01:11:42Excuse me, do I need an invitation?

01:11:44Miss Morgan.

01:11:45Miss Morgan?

01:11:47You're Miss Morgan?

01:11:49Of course. This is our one and only Miss Morgan.

01:11:51Miss Morgan, need me to throw these two who disrespected you?

01:11:54No need.

01:11:55Let them go in and see the world.

01:11:58By the way, that money you owe Edward,

01:12:00if you still can't pay it back today,

01:12:01both of you are going to jail.

01:12:24Oh, wow.

01:12:25Isn't this Miss Morgan and Mr. Quinn who kicked me out of the company a month ago?

01:12:30Long time no see.

01:12:31Let me take a look at your performance this month.

01:12:36Zero, huh?

01:12:37Wow, impressive.

01:12:38So impressive.

01:12:39Amazing.

01:12:40They're both from the Morium family,

01:12:42so why is there such a big gap?

01:12:43I never imagined someone could go an entire month

01:12:45without closing a single deal.

01:12:48And for that, we really have to thank Mr. Quinn.

01:12:51I heard that a month ago,

01:12:53someone was bragging to me saying they'd hit 200 million

01:12:55in just one month.

01:12:57Ha, bold of you.

01:12:59Now the results are pretty obvious.

01:13:02The heir to the Morgan fortune

01:13:04will definitely be Lucas Morgan.

01:13:08Keep it low-key.

01:13:10After all, my grandpa hasn't made his announcement.

01:13:13Oh, Claire.

01:13:14I get that you wanted to come back,

01:13:16but why are you competing with me for the air spot?

01:13:19You're Miss Morgan?

01:13:20Edward Quinn is just a paper tiger.

01:13:22Now Mr. Morgan's got his eyes on him.

01:13:23He's in for a rough time.

01:13:24Good thing you divorced him.

01:13:25Otherwise, you'd be dragged into this mess too.

01:13:27But the final outcome isn't set yet.

01:13:29Lucas Morgan,

01:13:30you're celebrating a little too early, aren't you?

01:13:33Less than 20 minutes left.

01:13:35Claire Morgan,

01:13:36are you saying you're going to beat my sales

01:13:38in 20 minutes?

01:13:40Huh?

01:13:41Why not?

01:13:42Who are you?

01:13:44Mr. Morgan,

01:13:45he's the sales director

01:13:46at Claire's company,

01:13:47Edward Quinn.

01:13:49Sales director?

01:13:50I don't dare you talk to me.

01:13:52Somebody, smack!

01:13:55Let me tell you,

01:13:56Edward isn't just my company's sales director.

01:13:58He's also my boyfriend.

01:14:00Let's see who dares lay a finger on him.

01:14:02Boyfriend?

01:14:05Claire Morgan,

01:14:06did you forget?

01:14:06If you lose today,

01:14:08you have to marry

01:14:09the disabled heir of the Shaws,

01:14:11boyfriend.

01:14:12You deserve to have one!

01:14:13Phew!

01:14:17As long as Claire

01:14:18passes this test

01:14:19and becomes the heir,

01:14:21then there's no need for that.

01:14:23Ha!

01:14:23Edward Quinn,

01:14:24what gives you the confidence?

01:14:26Less than 15 minutes left.

01:14:27Zero versus 300 million.

01:14:29Can you flip the game?

01:14:30With what, huh?

01:14:31Sir Morgan is here!

01:14:41Greetings, Sir Morgan!

01:14:43Today, right here,

01:14:44I ask everyone to witness this.

01:14:46I officially announce

01:14:47the next heir of the Morgan family.

01:14:48Hold on, Sir Morgan.

01:14:50It's not time yet.

01:14:51Things aren't hopeless yet.

01:14:52How dare you!

01:14:53Sir Morgan is right here!

01:14:54You still have the nerve

01:14:55to brag and lie?

01:14:56Are you tired of living?

01:14:57Edward,

01:14:58you don't seriously think.

01:14:59With such a huge gap

01:15:00and less than 10 minutes left,

01:15:02he can pull off and come back?

01:15:03Why not?

01:15:04Young man,

01:15:05what's your relationship with Claire?

01:15:07I'm her company's sales director

01:15:08and also her boyfriend.

01:15:10All right, all right.

01:15:11Grandpa,

01:15:11please announce it.

01:15:12There's 10 minutes left.

01:15:13Not even a miracle could turn around.

01:15:14Now I announce!

01:15:15The next heir of the Morgan family.

01:15:17Wait a second.

01:15:18If not even a miracle could do this,

01:15:19let me give it a try.

01:15:21Mr. Foster,

01:15:22you can come in now.

01:15:28Time's almost up.

01:15:29And you're still calling for backup?

01:15:30Only a few minutes left.

01:15:32Who could possibly help you?

01:15:33Just wait a moment.

01:15:34You'll see a sooner.

01:15:35Edward,

01:15:35stop being stubborn.

01:15:36Just admit defeat.

01:15:37Maybe it really makes Sir Morgan angry.

01:15:39No one will be able to save you.

01:15:41Punk,

01:15:41got any last words?

01:15:42Say him now.

01:15:43You don't have much time left.

01:15:45Lucas,

01:15:45the one who needs to leave a well

01:15:47might just be you.

01:15:48You!

01:15:55The Foster family.

01:15:57The Harris family.

01:15:57And the other families of Rivermore.

01:15:58Greetings, Sir Morgan.

01:16:03Greetings, Sir Morgan.

01:16:04Everyone stand up.

01:16:05And you are all from the local families.

01:16:07Why have you come here?

01:16:09Sir Morgan,

01:16:10we're here today

01:16:11just to deliver a contract

01:16:12to Miss Morgan.

01:16:14Mr. Foster,

01:16:15didn't you say

01:16:15you could be all the orders

01:16:16for the next 15 days?

01:16:18When did I ever say

01:16:19I'd give you that?

01:16:20The agreement I signed with you

01:16:21was just a letter of intent.

01:16:22What we're signing now

01:16:23is the real contract.

01:16:24You,

01:16:25you dare mess with me?

01:16:27Wait, no.

01:16:27Are you trying to play Mr. Morgan?

01:16:28Do you know what will happen?

01:16:29Of course I do.

01:16:31The outcome is that

01:16:32Miss Morgan

01:16:33will become the heir.

01:16:34You,

01:16:36and we

01:16:37are all loyal

01:16:38to Miss Morgan.

01:16:39Greetings, Miss Morgan.

01:16:41No need for families.

01:16:43So this is the backup plan?

01:16:46Fine, fine, fine.

01:16:48I really want to see

01:16:48how you're going to turn this around.

01:16:53Miss Morgan,

01:16:54I'm going to sign here.

01:16:55I'm going to sign here.

01:17:17Impossible.

01:17:18No way.

01:17:18How could I possibly lose?

01:17:21Now I announce

01:17:22the next heir of the Morgan family

01:17:23is Claire Morgan.

01:17:28He turned the tide

01:17:29and held up

01:17:30the falling company.

01:17:31The kids got talent.

01:17:31He's a good match for Claire.

01:17:33Sir Morgan,

01:17:34you flatter me.

01:17:34No way.

01:17:35There's no way

01:17:36I could lose.

01:17:37Grandpa,

01:17:37I'm your real grandson.

01:17:39How could you give

01:17:39the foot shit to a woman?

01:17:40What about a woman?

01:17:41She's part of the Morgans too.

01:17:43Refusing to admit defeat?

01:17:44Do you have no shame?

01:17:45Step back.

01:17:46No.

01:17:47I won't step back.

01:17:48I can't lose.

01:17:50Lose, right?

01:17:51I didn't lose.

01:17:52Mr. Morgan,

01:17:53you lost.

01:17:53Face the facts.

01:17:54Folk shit.

01:17:56If you hadn't failed

01:17:57to get rid of her

01:17:58twenty years ago,

01:17:58would I have lost?

01:17:59Watch your words.

01:18:01Watch my ass.

01:18:02I've been planning this

01:18:02for years.

01:18:03So why did I lose?

01:18:05Tell me.

01:18:06What exactly have you done?

01:18:10Speak.

01:18:11What's really going on here?

01:18:12Sir Morgan,

01:18:13twenty years ago,

01:18:13Mr. Morgan ordered me

01:18:14to throw Miss Morgan

01:18:15into the river,

01:18:15but I couldn't do it.

01:18:16I left her at someone's

01:18:17swordstab,

01:18:18so she could live.

01:18:19Claire,

01:18:19is what he said true?

01:18:20My adoptive parents,

01:18:22they did find me

01:18:23at their front door.

01:18:24You ungrateful brat.

01:18:25Security!

01:18:26Take him away.

01:18:27Punish him severely,

01:18:29so he'll never be able

01:18:30to hurt anyone again.

01:18:31And the rest of you,

01:18:32confess now.

01:18:34How many terrible things

01:18:34have you helped them do?

01:18:35If you do,

01:18:36I will give you a way out.

01:18:37Otherwise,

01:18:40Sir Morgan,

01:18:41please have mercy.

01:18:42I'll tell you everything,

01:18:43just spare me.

01:18:44A bunch of crooks.

01:18:46Send them all

01:18:47to the police station.

01:18:48Let them run in jail.

01:18:49Sir Morgan!

01:18:51And everyone else here,

01:18:53turn yourselves in

01:18:53before it's too late.

01:18:55Otherwise,

01:18:55if I find out myself,

01:18:56things won't be so simple.

01:19:00Let's go.

01:19:04Claire,

01:19:05these years,

01:19:06you've been through a lot.

01:19:07With your love,

01:19:07I don't suffer at all.

01:19:09This young man is not bad.

01:19:10When we get back,

01:19:11I'll have someone pick a date

01:19:11and get your wedding arranged.

01:19:13Thank you, Sir Morgan.

01:19:14Still calling me that?

01:19:16Oh.

01:19:18Thank you, Grandpa.

01:19:24Edward,

01:19:25I really know I was wrong.

01:19:27Can you forgive me

01:19:27this one time?

01:19:29No, I can't.

01:19:30Lauren Carter,

01:19:30it's not that you realize

01:19:31you're wrong.

01:19:32It's that you know

01:19:33your company is about to fail.

01:19:34Edward,

01:19:34think about the eight years

01:19:35we've shared.

01:19:36Are you really that heartless?

01:19:38You are a heartless one,

01:19:39not me.

01:19:40So you're just jealous?

01:19:42Edward,

01:19:43I swear,

01:19:43there's absolutely nothing

01:19:44going on between me and Nathan.

01:19:46I never cheated on you.

01:19:47Please believe me.

01:19:49So emotional cheating

01:19:50doesn't count?

01:19:51Lauren,

01:19:52a relationship needs

01:19:52both people to work at it.

01:19:54When something's broken,

01:19:54it can be fixed.

01:19:55Take care of yourself.

01:19:57Let's go.

01:19:58Edward!

01:20:02Lauren,

01:20:03don't be sad.

01:20:04You still have me.

01:20:05Get out of here!

01:20:06I don't work for you.

01:20:07How could I have

01:20:07ended up divorcing him?

01:20:09How did I not realize

01:20:09that you're just an idiot?

01:20:11Bitch!

01:20:11You threw yourself at me,

01:20:13and now you're calling me an idiot?

01:20:15Oh, sir, you hit me!

01:20:17So what if I hit you?

01:20:18Edward left you,

01:20:18and your company's gone bankrupt.

01:20:20I'm all you've got left.

01:20:21Do you get that?

01:20:22I've had enough of you!

01:20:23Come on!
