00:00:04Su Qingyan, right?
00:00:05You're, what, five feet tall?
00:00:07That's not even as high as my IQ.
00:00:09In the future, if I married you and had kids, those genes.
00:00:14That's not the kind of genes I want passed on to my son.
00:00:17Good thing your family's rich.
00:00:19Otherwise, someone like you, walking down the street,
00:00:22I wouldn't even look twice if I passed you on the street.
00:00:26Mr. Zhao.
00:00:27Did you, did you get into the feed?
00:00:31What?
00:00:32Or maybe you got into a fight with a pig over it?
00:00:37Hey, did they stamp you with the health inspection seal?
00:00:40Is it stamped?
00:00:42When you're alone in private, do you walk around on all fours?
00:00:47You, what are you trying to say?
00:00:53The fat on your face is thicker than your net worth.
00:00:57Your eyeballs are swimming in grease.
00:01:00They can barely even move.
00:01:01With a face like yours, you think you're qualified to judge me?
00:01:06And you still want a piece of my family's business?
00:01:09Let me tell you something.
00:01:10No matter how short I am, I've got the Sioux family fortune backing me up.
00:01:14Plenty of men would bend over backwards for me.
00:01:20Oh, right.
00:01:22This meal today?
00:01:24It's on me.
00:01:25After all, feeding a pig costs money.
00:01:28You!
00:01:40Another failure?
00:01:42My old man must have found this pig at some random farm.
00:01:47Disgusting.
00:02:02Mr. Liu, I heard you just acquired that prime piece of land in the CBD.
00:02:06A real gem.
00:02:08And today happens to be your birthday.
00:02:09A double celebration.
00:02:11Let me propose a toast.
00:02:30You're through.
00:02:33Ruakshi, it's Mr. Liu's birthday today.
00:02:35Everyone's here.
00:02:36Don't make a scene.
00:02:37Lu Xien, if you really loved me, you'd accept me unconditionally.
00:02:43This is the hundredth time.
00:02:45Lu Xien, if you can chase after me a hundred times, then I'll marry you.
00:02:52Mr. Liu, I'll have someone clean this up.
00:02:55Don't bother.
00:02:55I'm going for a smoke.
00:03:10Mr. Liu, you really shouldn't spoil a woman like that.
00:03:13All these years, how many deals has that girlfriend of yours ruined for you?
00:03:17Besides, a man in your position could have any woman he wants.
00:03:20Why put up with this?
00:03:22The hundredth time.
00:03:23All my patience with her over the years.
00:03:26All it got me was her making scenes whenever she felt like it.
00:03:29Her selfish, reckless behavior.
00:03:32Maybe it's time to end this.
00:03:42What?
00:03:44Interested?
00:03:45That guy.
00:03:46He's Haichung's famous iceberg.
00:03:48Got rejected by his girlfriend 99 times.
00:03:52And he's still devoted.
00:03:54Us now was the hundredth time.
00:03:57Brutal.
00:03:59Then let me, an angel who fell to earth, be the one to save him.
00:04:11Sir, would you like me to open a bottle of wine for you?
00:04:13It's a new arrival.
00:04:15A very good vintage.
00:04:16No.
00:04:19You don't need wine.
00:04:21But I think there's something you definitely need.
00:04:36Exclusive formula.
00:04:37Stops bleeding and reduces inflammation.
00:04:39Let me put it on for you.
00:04:46Can't reach it.
00:04:55There.
00:04:56Mr. Liu, happy birthday.
00:04:58I won't disturb you any further.
00:05:00I won't disturb you any further.
00:05:11Mr. Liu.
00:05:13Who is that?
00:05:16That girl's got guts.
00:05:18Who is she?
00:05:19To make our Mr. Liu lower his head.
00:05:21Never seen a hostess like that before.
00:05:23She's got some nerve.
00:05:29Mr. Liu.
00:05:29Why not give it a try?
00:05:32This kind of kept woman is obedient and doesn't make a fuss.
00:05:36Look into her for me.
00:05:42Let's break up.
00:05:44Ruoxi.
00:05:45It's Mr. Liu's birthday today.
00:05:47Everyone's here.
00:05:48Don't do this.
00:05:49Liu Xi'en.
00:05:50If you really loved me, you should accept me unconditionally.
00:05:54One hundred times.
00:05:56Liu Xi'en.
00:05:57If you can chase after me one hundred times, I'll marry you.
00:06:02If there are no issues, bring her to me.
00:06:05Yes, Mr. Liu.
00:06:11Miss Su, currently I'm looking for a relationship that's efficient and respects boundaries.
00:06:39I originally thought I came too late, that our paths wouldn't cross again.
00:06:45Who would have thought?
00:06:49Miss Su?
00:06:51Mr. Liu.
00:06:53Are you trying to make me your mistress?
00:06:55I don't mean to belittle you.
00:06:57If you're unwilling, you can leave at any time.
00:07:00Willing?
00:07:01Of course I'm willing.
00:07:02Just stay by your side.
00:07:04I'm willing to do anything.
00:07:28Mr. Liu.
00:07:29You're so cold.
00:07:32How about...
00:07:35Warm you up?
00:07:41Mr. Liu.
00:07:42You can still change your mind.
00:07:44You can still go back to your ex.
00:07:46Let's go.
00:07:47Restless.
00:07:49Let's go.
00:08:02Mr. Liu.
00:08:11But there's always a few moments.
00:08:15It's cool.
00:08:15Let's go.
00:08:15Let's go.
00:08:38Hey, old man, your ex seems to be looking for you.
00:08:53Go take a shower before you catch a cold.
00:09:04Mr. Lu, I'm usually quite busy, so I won't have much time to spend with you.
00:09:10You and your family can come to me for anything you need, in your daily lives, or to my secretary
00:09:16Lin.
00:09:20The password is six eights.
00:09:22These are some activities you might be interested in.
00:09:24Feel free to attend any of them.
00:09:26Mr. Lu, you always give me the feeling that you're batting your eyes at a school principal.
00:09:37Ikebana.
00:09:38Tea ceremony.
00:09:39Baking.
00:09:40Horseback riding.
00:09:42Mr. Lu, are you trying to turn this hostess into a proper socialite?
00:09:48I'm not very familiar with what young people like.
00:09:51I had Secretary Lin compile these.
00:09:53They're for self-improvement.
00:09:55They're safe choices.
00:09:58Yes, sir, Mr. Gu.
00:10:04I'm heading to work.
00:10:05If you need anything, you can message me.
00:10:09Okay.
00:10:10Good morning, kiss.
00:10:25Girl!
00:10:26You look fast.
00:10:27You're already living under the same roof.
00:10:30I have to thank you for the great assist.
00:10:32Don't worry.
00:10:34With me on it, no one will be able to trace your identity as the Sioux family heiress.
00:10:39The news of you being in Haicheng won't reach your old man's ears either.
00:10:43What choice did I have?
00:10:45Ran into my first love.
00:10:46There's no way I'm going back for an arranged marriage.
00:10:50Hey.
00:10:50Speaking of which, once a man passes 25, he might as well be 65.
00:10:56Who is yen?
00:10:57Is he any good?
00:11:00Any good?
00:11:01I don't know how to rate him.
00:11:03But his assets are quite impressive.
00:11:09You're something else.
00:11:10All these years, I've never seen Lu Xien make a move on another woman.
00:11:14You really got him.
00:11:17Oh, right.
00:11:18For a while, I probably won't have much time to check on my new vintage shop at the mall.
00:11:24If you have time, you'll have to keep an eye on it for me.
00:11:27Sure.
00:11:28Leave it to me.
00:11:37Mr. Lu.
00:11:39Will you be home for dinner tonight?
00:11:47Hello?
00:11:49Chef Michel.
00:11:50Get to Haicheng within two hours.
00:11:52I want to eat your cooking.
00:11:56Mr. Lu.
00:11:57Are you coming home for dinner tonight?
00:12:00This is my first time meeting Mr. Lu.
00:12:03You had a fight with Ms. Bai, yet you're in such a good mood.
00:12:11Old man.
00:12:13You...
00:12:13Ex-girlfriend seems to be looking for you.
00:12:19Secretary Lin, let me ask you something.
00:12:21What does old man mean?
00:12:24Huh?
00:12:26Oh, uh...
00:12:27It's just, nowadays, young people use it online as a common, everyday term.
00:12:31Old man usually refers to older men.
00:12:33Or men whose behavior is a bit sleazy.
00:12:37I see.
00:12:40She's got some nerve.
00:12:42She...
00:12:43Never mind.
00:12:44What's on the schedule today?
00:12:52Cancel tonight's engagement.
00:13:03You're back.
00:13:05Come on.
00:13:06Dinner's ready.
00:13:08We were together for ten years.
00:13:10Yet Bai Ruashi never cooked for me once.
00:13:14Lu Xien.
00:13:14When will I ever get to eat like royalty?
00:13:18Soon.
00:13:19Just give me a little more time.
00:13:24These dishes.
00:13:25Did you make them all?
00:13:28Every single dish.
00:13:29I personally added the finishing touches.
00:13:31So, technically, you could say I made them.
00:13:35Mm-hmm.
00:13:50The way these are plated is very unique.
00:13:54What's so special about it?
00:13:56It resembles Chef Michel's signature style.
00:13:59He's one of the world's top Michelin-starred chefs.
00:14:02His dishes are incredibly hard to get.
00:14:04You know him?
00:14:06Oh, no.
00:14:07Lu Xien has actually eaten Chef Michel's food?
00:14:13Um...
00:14:13Actually, it was my friend who taught me how to plate like this.
00:14:17She said it helps.
00:14:19Show off your taste.
00:14:21So, you're into cooking?
00:14:23Huh?
00:14:25If you're interested, I can sign you up for some cooking classes.
00:14:29Mr. Lu, just eat first.
00:14:32Don't just think about sending me to classes.
00:14:34I've been hitting the books.
00:14:36For decades now.
00:14:41Here.
00:14:42Open up.
00:14:51Give it to me.
00:14:52I'll make things clear with her.
00:15:03Lu Xien.
00:15:04I had too much to drink.
00:15:06I'm at Muse.
00:15:07You need to come pick me up.
00:15:09I...
00:15:12I had too much to drink.
00:15:15Lu Xien actually hung up on me.
00:15:18Could it be he's learned to play hard to get with me?
00:15:22Looks like I need to find a way to get his attention.
00:15:26Waiter!
00:15:27Open up all your most expensive bottles right now.
00:15:31He's always cared about me.
00:15:32If he finds out I drank this much at once, he'll definitely worry.
00:15:38Honey, don't go.
00:15:41Mr. Lu, I prepared dinner today.
00:15:44So, for the late night snack, shouldn't that be your responsibility?
00:15:50I've worked for Mr. Lu for 10 years.
00:15:53This is the first time I've seen him late.
00:16:00Mr. Lu, Ms. Bai has been throwing a lot of singles parties lately.
00:16:04The bills have already reached accounting.
00:16:06The amounts are huge.
00:16:08Notify the bank to freeze her supplementary card.
00:16:11Yes, Mr. Lu.
00:16:14Today, none of you are leaving.
00:16:16You're staying to drink with me for two whole days and nights.
00:16:20Cheers!
00:16:40I knew it.
00:16:42Couldn't bear to let me go.
00:16:49What?
00:16:55Who is it?
00:17:09Ms. Bai.
00:17:11Can't you let people rest in the morning?
00:17:13You? Who are you?
00:17:15What are you doing here?
00:17:17I'm Shion's girlfriend.
00:17:19Where else would I be?
00:17:21Miss, don't you think the question you're asking is pretty stupid?
00:17:25It's because of you, isn't it?
00:17:26He never used to treat me like this before.
00:17:29You're the one who changed him.
00:17:31No wonder he froze my credit card.
00:17:42Knew it. He can't bear to let me go.
00:17:48What?
00:17:49Lu Xien actually froze my card?
00:17:53Hello. Excuse me, could you all settle the bill first?
00:17:57The total is 840,000.
00:18:03840,000?
00:18:05You guys, just cover it for me first.
00:18:07I'll go find Lu Xien later and have him transfer the money to you.
00:18:10He'll pay you back.
00:18:11Everything was fine, but you had to break up with Lu Xien.
00:18:14If you hadn't been with him early on, that spot by his side would never have been yours.
00:18:19Just keep making trouble.
00:18:20When the time comes, if he really dumps you for good, let's see what you'll do then.
00:18:24What nonsense are you talking?
00:18:26This is my test for him.
00:18:27I've dumped Lu Xien 99 times already, and he still hasn't given up on me.
00:18:32That proves he loves me.
00:18:34The bond between him and me is much stronger than you think.
00:18:37My dad told me I must get along well with Bai Ru Xien.
00:18:41Right now is the perfect time for me to get closer to her.
00:18:46Ru Xien, use my card.
00:18:49Don't worry, Zixuan.
00:18:50I'll go find Lu Xien in a bit and have him transfer the money to you.
00:18:54Okay.
00:18:57Charge it.
00:19:00You, you actually used such despicable tricks to seduce him?
00:19:05By Roshi, are you getting old?
00:19:07And brain dead?
00:19:09It's bad enough you have no charm yourself, but I'll wear what I want.
00:19:14What?
00:19:16Don't tell me you're really that boring.
00:19:19What do you know?
00:19:20What we have is true love.
00:19:22We don't need all this flashy stuff.
00:19:24Lu Xien said he'd be back for a bit this morning.
00:19:26By the time, he should be here soon.
00:19:30Miss, you don't know how to cherish a good man yourself.
00:19:33Don't get in the way of me taking your place.
00:19:36Think about it.
00:19:37Mr. Lu works hard outside.
00:19:39And when he comes back, he has to see your sourpuss face.
00:19:43It breaks my heart.
00:19:44What nonsense are you saying?
00:19:46You must be an actress Lu Xien hired to upset me.
00:19:50You're talking rubbish.
00:19:51You're so sharp-tongued.
00:19:53I'll teach you a lesson.
00:19:55Wanna teach me a lesson?
00:19:57It's not time for that yet.
00:20:00Now it is.
00:20:13Ms. Bai, I know you don't like me.
00:20:15But you and Mr. Lu have already broken up.
00:20:18What we have is a proper relationship.
00:20:20Why did you hit me?
00:20:22What nonsense are you talking?
00:20:24Xien is faking it.
00:20:26I didn't hit her.
00:20:27She provoked me first.
00:20:29By Roshi.
00:20:31So you're saying you didn't hit her?
00:20:33It was her face that hit your hand, is that it?
00:20:36The moment I walked in, I saw all that trashy stuff of hers.
00:20:40It's utterly shameless.
00:20:42Mr. Lu, I know you have a bad stomach, so I was just studying some recipes.
00:20:47How is a recipe trashy stuff?
00:20:50Shut up!
00:20:51Xien, tell me honestly.
00:20:53Is she some actress you hired just to piss me off?
00:20:57Explain yourself right now, and I'll forgive you immediately.
00:21:02No.
00:21:04Fine, Lucienne.
00:21:06So you've really come to this point.
00:21:08Is your love for me only this much?
00:21:11I misjudged you.
00:21:13I never want to see you again.
00:21:17If I leave like I used to, he'll definitely call me back.
00:21:23Wait.
00:21:26Could it be he still hasn't gotten over her?
00:21:38Sign this document.
00:21:40I'll officially announce later that we've broken up.
00:21:43What did you say?
00:21:45Lucienne, you're serious about this.
00:21:47We've been together for 10 years, and you want to break up with me?
00:21:51What's done cannot be undone.
00:21:53You were the one who proposed the breakup.
00:21:56Between us, we should have ended this long ago.
00:21:59Sign it.
00:22:00No.
00:22:00He must be trying to provoke me.
00:22:02It's a tactic to hurt me.
00:22:03I can't back down.
00:22:04I can't let him find out that I can't live without him.
00:22:07Fine.
00:22:07I'll sign it.
00:22:09Lucienne, don't you regret this.
00:22:26Are you okay?
00:22:29All these years, has she always treated you like this?
00:22:34If you encounter this kind of situation again, call me right away.
00:22:38Don't let yourself get hurt.
00:22:39Mm-hmm.
00:22:42The trashy stuff she mentioned is this.
00:22:46That's right, Mr. Liu.
00:22:47Would you like to give it a try?
00:22:49I seem to recall you were just telling me you were studying food recipes.
00:22:55Right.
00:22:55I've been studying all these recipes, and I realize that I'm actually the best dish for your stomach.
00:23:03I have an important client meeting later.
00:23:05I came back to change my tie.
00:23:15This one suits you.
00:23:21Mr. Liu.
00:23:23Lower your head a bit.
00:23:25You should figure out how to manage on your own.
00:23:38Ooshien.
00:23:39Why are you so childish?
00:23:41Why are you standing so straight?
00:23:45Fine.
00:23:46Tie it yourself then.
00:23:48This is your punishment.
00:23:51What punishment?
00:23:52For calling me an old man.
00:23:55You...
00:23:56You hold a grudge?
00:23:58Mm-hmm.
00:23:59I really do.
00:24:01I'll trouble you with it, Ms. Sue.
00:24:10What kind of occasion?
00:24:12Calls for what material and what color of suit.
00:24:15Paired with what tie and cufflinks, it all has its rules.
00:24:20You're meeting a client today, so this charcoal gray suit paired with this tie is just perfect.
00:24:26How's that?
00:24:28Looks great.
00:24:31Oh, right.
00:24:32I also got you a lot of new gear.
00:24:34You can wear this cashmere sweater when you're working overtime, and this polo shirt is for when you're socializing.
00:24:40If you wear a suit for every occasion, it comes off as too formal.
00:24:45Uh, it's not good for socializing.
00:24:48Remember in college, you never took a course on this.
00:24:52College courses don't teach this stuff, of course.
00:24:55All of this was taught to me by teacher Elizabeth.
00:24:59Elizabeth?
00:25:00Yeah, you know, the one who specializes in teaching aristocratic etiquette.
00:25:04She's very famous.
00:25:07Oh no, I let it slip.
00:25:09He won't figure out my real identity, will he?
00:25:12Oh, that.
00:25:14I learned it from her videos.
00:25:16You have no idea how hard it was for me, a fake socialite, to learn all this.
00:25:22You've learned a lot. Impressive.
00:25:26But all of this was bought with your money.
00:25:29You can't complain about how much I spent.
00:25:33Don't worry about the money. It's fine. Buy whatever you want.
00:25:37Okay.
00:25:39Mr. Lu, you're going to be late. You should go.
00:25:46Mr. Lu, don't work too hard today.
00:26:01Boss is awesome.
00:26:04I'm free today. Perfect time to check out W.
00:26:07And see if there's anything for Lu Xi Yan.
00:26:23Let me see this one.
00:26:27You have a good eye, miss. This is one of our signature pieces.
00:26:30From the 19th century. European royalty. One of a kind.
00:26:39Look who it is. A hostess like you knows about antiques?
00:26:43Sister Ru Xi. Some people, even if they wear royal robes, don't look the part.
00:26:49A place like this isn't for just anyone to waltz into.
00:26:53These cufflinks. I saw them first.
00:26:56You seeing them doesn't make them yours.
00:26:58Could you even afford them yourself?
00:27:00Let me tell you something today.
00:27:02Whatever you set your eyes on, we'll buy it.
00:27:06Oh, really?
00:27:08I don't want these cufflinks anymore.
00:27:10This set. This set. And these as well.
00:27:14Give them all to me.
00:27:16I'll take them all. Pack it all up for me.
00:27:19I don't want this one either.
00:27:22Miss Bai. Your cards.
00:27:24Weren't they all frozen?
00:27:26Where did you get the money to act so rich?
00:27:29You...
00:27:31Cixuan, can you pay for this first?
00:27:33Once Xi Yan and I make up, I'll pay you back double.
00:27:37All right.
00:27:42Ma'am, the total for all these is 1,280,000.
00:27:47Charge it.
00:27:52Bring me a few more love rivals.
00:27:54They're all cash cows.
00:27:59See? You can't compete with me.
00:28:02You're just an actress that Lu Xi Yan hired to make me jealous.
00:28:07Know your place.
00:28:08Keep those cheap tricks to yourself.
00:28:11You've been together for 10 years.
00:28:13Other than me, he's never touched anyone but me.
00:28:17Oh, I almost forgot.
00:28:20I came here today to buy something else.
00:28:22Excuse me.
00:28:23Please prepare a few sets of men's clothing in size 95, 66, 97.
00:28:30You...
00:28:30How do you know Lu Xi Yan's measurements?
00:28:33Not just his measurements.
00:28:34There are other more...
00:28:36Specific dimensions.
00:28:39Wanna know?
00:28:40I was the one who measured him myself.
00:28:43You!
00:28:46Where did this rabid dog come from?
00:28:48Fighting people all over the place.
00:28:50Who are you?
00:28:51How...
00:28:51Jing Yan, hit her.
00:28:56You!
00:28:57You dare hit me?
00:28:58I'll hit you if I want to.
00:29:00Do I need a special occasion?
00:29:03You're just a hostess.
00:29:05Friend of a hostess.
00:29:07How dare you act so high and mighty in front of me!
00:29:09Where's the manager?
00:29:10Get your manager out here, now!
00:29:15Manager!
00:29:16Remember your requirements.
00:29:18Customers need assets worth 10 million.
00:29:22These two...
00:29:23Have absolutely no right to spend at W...
00:29:27Throw them both out!
00:29:31Boss!
00:29:32What brings you here?
00:29:34The boss is here.
00:29:35Why didn't you tell me?
00:29:37Manager, I am new here.
00:29:39I...
00:29:40I've never seen the boss before.
00:29:42How could she possibly be your boss?
00:29:44Impossible.
00:29:45She's just a phony, socialite hostess.
00:29:49Manager, these two ladies...
00:29:51Manager?
00:29:53Which one of you is the boss here?
00:29:57This one.
00:29:58This is your boss.
00:30:00Yes.
00:30:01This is our boss.
00:30:03Boss, my employee training was inadequate.
00:30:06It's my fault.
00:30:09Just do better next time.
00:30:11Now, get these two troublemaking harpies out of here.
00:30:14Yes.
00:30:16Let's go, you two.
00:30:23The owner of W couldn't possibly be such a young woman.
00:30:27Or she.
00:30:28Just thought about it.
00:30:30That woman looked like Song An-An.
00:30:32Song An-An?
00:30:33From the four great families.
00:30:35The Song family heiress, Song An-An.
00:30:38She wouldn't even deign to attend our parties.
00:30:41How could she possibly be friends with a hostess?
00:30:45Wait.
00:30:46Something's off.
00:30:47An ordinary hostess couldn't be friends with Song An-An.
00:30:51She must have been sent by the Song family as a corporate spy for the Lou group.
00:30:55She's in cahoots with Song An-An.
00:30:59I'm going to find Lou Shien right now.
00:31:01And expose her for who she really is.
00:31:07Ms. Bai, President Lou is working.
00:31:09Get out of my way!
00:31:11She's completely unhinged.
00:31:15Lou Shien, you've been fooled by that Su Ching-Yen.
00:31:18She's here to hurt you.
00:31:20The Song family sent her to Lou Corporation as a corporate spy.
00:31:23She's working with Song An-An.
00:31:27Are you finished?
00:31:29What's with your attitude?
00:31:31First of all, Ms. Bai, we've broken up.
00:31:35My business, Ms. Su's business, is none of your business.
00:31:39Secondly, Xiao Lin is my secretary.
00:31:41Show him some respect.
00:31:44Secretary Lin,
00:31:46please escort this irrelevant person out of the building immediately.
00:31:49From now on, without my appointment,
00:31:52she is forbidden from setting foot in Lou Corporation.
00:31:57You, Lou Shien.
00:31:59I was so worried about you.
00:32:01And this is how you treat me?
00:32:02You'll regret this.
00:32:09Secretary Lin, what's going on?
00:32:11Mr. Lu,
00:32:13what Ms. Bai said is partly true.
00:32:16Ms. Su and her
00:32:17had a conflict over a cufflink at a flagship store called W.
00:32:21When Ms. Su was being harassed,
00:32:24it was Ms. Song who stepped in to help.
00:32:26The two of them started calling each other sisters.
00:32:28However, recently,
00:32:29the Lou group and the Song group have indeed been in competition.
00:32:40You're back.
00:32:44Want to try on the outfit I picked for you?
00:32:46What's your relationship with Song Anan?
00:32:48What?
00:32:50You and Song Anan.
00:32:52What's your relationship?
00:32:54Song Anan.
00:32:56Boss Song?
00:32:58I guess you could say we're friends.
00:33:00I used to work part-time selling drinks at her bar.
00:33:04That's actually where we first met.
00:33:07I'd bring customers over and she'd give me a commission.
00:33:10She knows my family's not well off, so she looks out for me.
00:33:14Back and forth, we just got really close.
00:33:17Is that so?
00:33:18Right.
00:33:20I was actually planning to go to her shop today to make a purchase.
00:33:23I wanted to thank her for taking care of me before.
00:33:26Oh, right.
00:33:29Look, these are the cufflinks I picked out for you when I was there.
00:33:32For you.
00:33:35All for this?
00:33:37You got into a conflict with Byrule Shia W today.
00:33:40How did you know?
00:33:42Secretary Lin told you again, didn't he?
00:33:44I wasn't trying to start anything.
00:33:46I really thought these cufflinks would go perfectly with your black suit.
00:33:50She deliberately tried to snatch them from me.
00:33:53I'm sorry.
00:33:57She did it for me.
00:33:59That's why she got into that conflict.
00:34:02I'm not blaming you.
00:34:06These cufflinks you picked out are really nice.
00:34:09Have a return gift for you, too.
00:34:12Mm-hmm.
00:34:18You can take it all.
00:34:19Mr. Lu!
00:34:21Your return gift is way too fashionable.
00:34:25When it comes to gifts, us young people nowadays, that's not really the trend anymore.
00:34:29Think.
00:34:31Gold is the universal currency.
00:34:33Gives people the greatest sense of security.
00:34:36Sense of security?
00:34:38Mr. Lu, think in this world.
00:34:41There's something with a higher security rating than gold.
00:34:46What?
00:34:47That would be you.
00:34:58Mr. Lu, I've looked into it.
00:35:00Even went to Muse and asked around with some clients.
00:35:03It's just as Ms. Su said.
00:35:05Ms. Su, over the past few years, her life has been pretty straightforward.
00:35:08No unusual financial transactions.
00:35:11Apart from Ms. Song and the Song Group, there's no record of any other contact.
00:35:18This is for tonight's charity gala.
00:35:20Madame Claire will also be attending.
00:35:23Si.
00:35:24Take me to pick up Ms. Su first.
00:35:27You're going to pick up Ms. Su?
00:35:29From what I understand, at this evening's banquet, guests will all bring their wives.
00:35:34For Ms. Su to go, wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?
00:35:38Got it.
00:35:39There's no such thing as appropriate or not appropriate.
00:35:43Get me a set of haute couture gown and jewelry.
00:35:46I'm taking her to broaden her horizons.
00:35:48Yes.
00:35:49Ms. Su climbed.
00:35:51From being a kept woman so fast.
00:35:54Her methods are impressive.
00:36:06Why are you back so early today?
00:36:08There's a banquet tonight.
00:36:10I came back to prepare.
00:36:13So you won't be able to eat with me?
00:36:15Need a female companion.
00:36:16Are you available?
00:36:18Am.
00:36:20Go change into the gown.
00:36:24Charity banquet.
00:36:25Public event.
00:36:26Female companion.
00:36:28Basically an official announcement.
00:36:30As you wish.
00:36:36Mr. Lu.
00:36:38My gown won't zip up.
00:36:40Can you come help me?
00:36:42Mr. Lu.
00:36:43Please.
00:36:47Mr. Lu.
00:36:48Mr. Lu.
00:36:55Do I look good enough?
00:36:57To be your date?
00:37:00Perfect.
00:37:24So you're Shao Ran.
00:37:26Lu Corporation's biggest competitor.
00:37:28The heir to the Shao family.
00:37:30Miss Vi.
00:37:31Miss Vi.
00:37:32What can I do for you?
00:37:33I have a deal to make with you.
00:37:35Deal?
00:37:38No.
00:37:38I know you and Lu Shi Yun are each other's biggest rivals.
00:37:41Lately, he's been eyeing a major project.
00:37:45Tonight is when he's meeting with the client.
00:37:49Tell me about it.
00:37:50What?
00:37:51What's in it for you?
00:37:52I'm not looking for anything in return.
00:37:55Just don't want him to have it easy.
00:37:57Why?
00:37:59Because he betrayed me.
00:38:02Betrayed my feelings.
00:38:04Pleasure doing business.
00:38:08The one next to Mr. Lu?
00:38:10I've never seen her before.
00:38:12Which family's daughter is she?
00:38:13Haven't seen her.
00:38:14But judging by her aura and attire, she doesn't seem to be from an ordinary family.
00:38:18Mr. Lu.
00:38:19You're 40 minutes later than planned.
00:38:21Did something happen on the way?
00:38:22Something came up.
00:38:23It's fine.
00:38:24Okay.
00:38:25Mrs. Clare will arrive in half an hour.
00:38:27Okay.
00:38:29Okay.
00:38:32Mr. Lu.
00:38:33Secretary Lin must be wondering why you're always late recently.
00:38:37I think you should know the reason.
00:38:43Your ex-boyfriend has good taste.
00:38:46He's a bit short.
00:38:47But his figure is hot.
00:38:51Your ex-boyfriend has good taste.
00:38:54Bit short though.
00:38:55But this figure is hot.
00:38:58Just a caged bird who climbed her way up using men.
00:39:02Don't forget our plan.
00:39:04Steal his project.
00:39:07Lax.
00:39:08Those foreigners, Claire and her crew, value vision the most.
00:39:12The pitch Lu Xien prepared is too corporate.
00:39:16I studied abroad and came back.
00:39:18I definitely understand it better than him.
00:39:24Well, look who it is.
00:39:27Ms. Sue.
00:39:29Nice outfit.
00:39:30Better be careful.
00:39:31If you damage it, I'm afraid you couldn't pay it back even if you spent your whole life serving drinks.
00:39:37Drink server?
00:39:38Thought she was some rich family's daughter.
00:39:41Oh, Ms. Bai, the way you talk.
00:39:43Clothes and jewelry are just accessories.
00:39:46What matters is who you stand beside.
00:39:49After all, a man's looks are a woman's glory.
00:39:53You...
00:39:54Mr. Lu.
00:39:56This young lady is quite the talker.
00:39:58But this place today is for discussing business.
00:40:01Bringing a flashy ornament won't do you any good.
00:40:05Heard the Lu group also wants the Claire project.
00:40:08What a shame.
00:40:09Someone like Mr. Lu, who was educated abroad from a young age, and steeped in the Ivy League, probably can't
00:40:16compare to someone like me.
00:40:20Ivy League? You mean that place in Jianzhou?
00:40:24With the intimidating name, but whose classrooms were funded by crowdfunding from student tuition?
00:40:30That diploma mill?
00:40:32You... How do you know about that?
00:40:34Mr. Lu, I was just thinking, sir, you look awfully familiar.
00:40:38A few years back, in the overseas student circles, a PDF file was circulating.
00:40:42It documented a certain young master, Xiao, who was dating a dozen girlfriends at once.
00:40:49And got exposed.
00:40:51Finally exposed, stripped naked in public, and beaten on the street.
00:40:56The person in those photos...
00:40:58Looks a lot like you.
00:41:00You! You're slandering me!
00:41:03Defamation!
00:41:04Plaything like you.
00:41:05Climbing your way to the top.
00:41:07What right do you have to spread rumors here?
00:41:11Su Qingyan!
00:41:12She's not my plaything.
00:41:14She's my girlfriend.
00:41:16Su Qingyan is the one and only girlfriend I, Lu Shiyan, am officially seeing.
00:41:22Lu Shiyan! You...
00:41:29Mr. Lu, were you just... standing up for me?
00:41:32Weren't you just standing up for me, too?
00:41:34I have a question for you.
00:41:36Mm-hmm.
00:41:37You seem to know a lot about international students.
00:41:41Yeah, you caught me.
00:41:43Actually, back when I worked as a bar hustler, I adopted many different personas like that.
00:41:48Like what?
00:41:50International student.
00:41:52Fake socialite. Rich second generation.
00:41:55To make sure each persona was convincing.
00:41:58I did a lot of research on every single one.
00:42:01So you must have had...
00:42:02Tough time back then.
00:42:04Wouldn't call it tough.
00:42:05If I hadn't gone through all that, I wouldn't have met you.
00:42:09I guess it was all worth it in the end.
00:42:18Mr. Lu.
00:42:20Verbal sparring is pointless.
00:42:21Mrs. Clare is here.
00:42:22It's time to see what you're really made of.
00:42:31Mrs. Clare.
00:42:33I'm Lu Shiyan.
00:42:43Don't say I didn't warn you.
00:42:45Mrs. Clare hates nothing more than people who try to please her.
00:42:48People who get close just to flatter her.
00:42:51Miss Bai.
00:42:52If trying to please someone backfires, it just means you're offering the wrong things.
00:42:57Or your methods aren't clever enough.
00:42:59You.
00:43:05Can't wait to see how a hostess who doesn't speak any foreign languages is going to get herself rejected.
00:43:11When you make a fool of yourself, Lu Shiyan will see that I'm the only one worthy of him.
00:43:17Mr. Lu.
00:43:18Mr. Xiao.
00:43:19Your proposal just now is indeed impressive from a business perspective.
00:43:22But what I'm more concerned about isn't these superficial details.
00:43:26My apologies.
00:43:29Good evening, madam.
00:43:30Good evening, madam.
00:43:31Your shawl is absolutely stunning tonight.
00:43:34Is it a vintage Hermes silk scarf that's been repurposed into a shawl?
00:43:40You can tell.
00:43:42Good heavens.
00:43:43It was handed down from my grandmother.
00:43:47I made some alterations.
00:43:48You like vintage pieces too?
00:43:50Adore them.
00:43:51Every vintage piece has its own story.
00:43:54Take, for example, the location of this project, that old district.
00:43:59Every alleyway, every cobblestone path holds its own history and warmth.
00:44:03I quite like your interpretation.
00:44:06My husband has said.
00:44:08What he wants to do.
00:44:10Isn't to demolish and rebuild a new commercial complex.
00:44:13Rather, it's to restore it like a precious work of art.
00:44:16Preserve its original soul and breathe new life into it.
00:44:19Keep the original craft workshops so visitors can have hands-on experiences.
00:44:24Convert abandoned warehouses into a community art center.
00:44:28Regularly hosting charitable exhibitions and concerts.
00:44:31Mr. Gu, your insights are very profound.
00:44:34What you're thinking about is exactly the part I most wanted to see.
00:44:38I think we need.
00:44:39To find a time to discuss these details properly.
00:44:41Of course.
00:44:43Any time.
00:44:49How could she speak English and so fluently?
00:44:53Isn't she just a gold-digging hostess?
00:44:55We've been played.
00:44:57That woman is definitely not simple.
00:45:01Lu Shiyan, you think you can beat me with a woman?
00:45:03Dream on.
00:45:05Mr. Lu, how did I do tonight?
00:45:07Didn't embarrass you, did I?
00:45:09Very well.
00:45:09Your English is very fluent.
00:45:12And your insights are quite unique.
00:45:15Is all this also part of your research?
00:45:17Yeah.
00:45:17To be a qualified gold digger, I've been working very hard.
00:45:21Learn another language.
00:45:23Understand a bit more about art.
00:45:24Only then can I better serve high-end clients like you.
00:45:28Thank you for your help tonight.
00:45:30Without you, progress on this project might have been very slow.
00:45:34What reward would you like?
00:45:37Oh, don't be so formal.
00:45:39You've already given me the title of your official girlfriend.
00:45:42Of course I should take care of your problems.
00:45:46As for a reward, there is one thing I want.
00:45:50What?
00:45:52I've been wearing high heels all night.
00:45:54My legs are killing me.
00:45:57Mr. Lu, give me a massage.
00:45:58Okay.
00:46:15Got it.
00:46:17To the office.
00:46:20Yes, sir.
00:46:22What's wrong?
00:46:24Some rumor's been going around out of nowhere.
00:46:26They're offering big money to poach Lu Corporation's core tech team.
00:46:30I'll have Secretary Lin take you home later.
00:46:32Don't wait up for me tonight.
00:46:34It's confirmed.
00:46:35Three core engineers have submitted their resignations.
00:46:38The Shell Group somehow got their hands on the list of core engineers.
00:46:41They're offering them triple their annual salary.
00:46:44Also, Jing Ding Construction just unilaterally proposed to terminate the project cooperation.
00:46:49It's by Ro Shi.
00:46:51When I was working, I never guarded against her.
00:46:53I never thought my trust in her would actually become a weapon she's using against the Lu Group.
00:46:59As for the tech department, they're doing their best to retain them.
00:47:02We can negotiate terms.
00:47:04As for Jing Ding, I'll handle it personally.
00:47:07Mr. Lu, you haven't eaten yet.
00:47:09I'll have something sent over.
00:47:10No, I need some quiet.
00:47:13Understood.
00:47:39Didn't I say I need some quiet?
00:47:44What are you doing here?
00:47:49Didn't I tell you to have Secretary Lin take you home first to rest?
00:47:53Yeah.
00:47:54It's just that I thought you didn't eat much at the banquet earlier.
00:47:58So, I made you some late night snacks.
00:48:00My apologies.
00:48:02I'm not very hungry.
00:48:03Mr. Lu, no matter how big the problem is, you still need to eat.
00:48:08Besides, I'm a little hungry myself.
00:48:10Just think of it as keeping me company.
00:48:13Here.
00:48:19Try some.
00:48:26That's more like it, Mr. Lu.
00:48:27Oh, come on.
00:48:29It's not that big of a deal.
00:48:31It's just a few people being poached and the few contracts falling through.
00:48:34The world is a big place.
00:48:36There are plenty of capable engineers besides just them.
00:48:39As for partners...
00:48:41Out with the old, in with the new.
00:48:43Our core technology is being leaked.
00:48:47Projects are stalling.
00:48:48Every day means huge losses.
00:48:50The staff, the employees, they'll all be severely affected.
00:48:53Oh, just eat first.
00:48:55After you eat, maybe you'll find...
00:48:57More skilled technicians and more reliable partners coming your way.
00:49:03I hope so.
00:49:08Mr. Lu, we just received word.
00:49:11Quashin Tech from Jing City reached out to us.
00:49:13They said they're very interested in our project and are willing to provide technical support from their end.
00:49:17They can send a team over to discuss things right away.
00:49:21Also, the person in charge at Cosmic Capital sent an email asking if we're open to funding or a deeper
00:49:27collaboration.
00:49:28They have a very strong background.
00:49:31They're moving fast.
00:49:34Quashin Tech from Jing City, Cosmic Capital.
00:49:37How would they...
00:49:41What's wrong, Mr. Lu?
00:49:42Why are you staring at me?
00:49:44Do I have something on my face?
00:49:47You just said that after the meal, things would turn around.
00:49:50How did you know?
00:49:51I was just guessing.
00:49:53I was just saying that to comfort you.
00:49:55Didn't expect to actually be right.
00:49:58Oh, Mr. Lu.
00:49:59It just proves that I really am your lucky star.
00:50:06Need to take a call.
00:50:08You two talk.
00:50:16Hello?
00:50:17Dad?
00:50:18I'm already in Haicheng.
00:50:19I want to see you.
00:50:20What?
00:50:22You...
00:50:22You already...
00:50:24Know I'm in Haicheng?
00:50:25You're coming to see me tomorrow?
00:50:27Go ahead.
00:50:29Why did you suddenly give Lu Corporation two such large investments?
00:50:32Don't tell me.
00:50:34You've taken a liking to.
00:50:36Some guy from the Lu family?
00:50:38No, no.
00:50:40Just...
00:50:40Have a lot of faith in Lu Corporation's future.
00:50:43Don't you trust your daughter's judgment?
00:50:46That's more like it.
00:50:47A top-tier family like ours isn't something the Lu family can ever hope to match.
00:50:53My daughter must marry someone truly exceptional.
00:50:56I've arranged a few meetings for you.
00:50:58Hey, Dad.
00:50:59Don't you have to visit Uncle Song?
00:51:00You should get going.
00:51:02You'll be late.
00:51:03I'm heading out first.
00:51:04Kids grow up.
00:51:06And forget their old man.
00:51:11Wait a minute.
00:51:12Next month, the Sioux Group will officially enter the Haicheng Market.
00:51:16When that happens, you're coming back to work for me.
00:51:19Fine, fine.
00:51:25Mr. Lu, that car is custom made.
00:51:27The license plate is from the capital.
00:51:29Should I look into it?
00:51:30No need.
00:51:31Let's head back to the villa first.
00:51:33Yes, sir.
00:51:38Mr. Lu, you're back so early today.
00:51:41Sit.
00:51:42We need to talk.
00:51:45Talk?
00:51:46Talk?
00:51:46Talk about what?
00:51:49This is the termination agreement.
00:51:51And a compensation payment.
00:51:53What do you mean by this?
00:51:55You're kicking me out?
00:51:57I saw it this afternoon.
00:51:59Saw what?
00:52:01You were with another man.
00:52:03His car.
00:52:04His clothes.
00:52:04All indicate he's a man of considerable means.
00:52:07What he can give you?
00:52:08I can't.
00:52:11He is indeed a better choice for you.
00:52:13You didn't have to hide it from me.
00:52:15What we had was just a transaction to begin with.
00:52:18I won't force anyone to stay.
00:52:20Mr. Lu, what's going on in that head of yours?
00:52:23That was my dad.
00:52:24Biological father.
00:52:26Your dad?
00:52:29See?
00:52:30My dad is a driver.
00:52:32That.
00:52:33The car was provided by his boss.
00:52:35The suit was also for him to wear to make his boss look good.
00:52:39He's in Haicheng on a business trip today and dropped by to see me.
00:52:44Lu, Xien.
00:52:45You're trying to kick me out just because of that?
00:52:48You have so little faith in me?
00:52:51I...
00:52:52Oh.
00:52:53Maybe.
00:52:55You were jealous?
00:52:57Tell me.
00:52:58Did you see us and think,
00:52:59I'd found myself a new sugar daddy?
00:53:02So you got jealous?
00:53:03I'm not.
00:53:13You're just jealous.
00:53:16Send me a copy of the photo.
00:53:18Which photo?
00:53:19Your childhood photo.
00:53:21It's adorable.
00:53:29Song and Anne.
00:53:30What gives you the right to keep me out?
00:53:33Because I'm the owner of this shop.
00:53:34I only let you in before because you were Lu, Xien's girlfriend.
00:53:38Now, sorry to say, you're not on my guest list.
00:53:41Look, that's her.
00:53:42Lu's ex-girlfriend.
00:53:43The one who broke up with him a hundred times.
00:53:45Heard Mr. Lu is serious this time.
00:53:47He even made a public statement.
00:53:49Without the title of Mr. Lu's girlfriend, that status,
00:53:52who'd even give her the time of day?
00:53:53I've wanted to ignore her for ages.
00:53:57Have a nice walk.
00:53:58Don't bother coming back.
00:53:59No.
00:54:00I'm the only woman Lu Xien has ever loved.
00:54:03I've been by his side for years.
00:54:06No one can replace me.
00:54:12Lu Xien!
00:54:14Do you hate seeing me that much?
00:54:16You won't even let me through the doors of Lu Corporation.
00:54:20We've been over for a long time.
00:54:22It's over.
00:54:23How could it ever be over between us?
00:54:26These past ten years, every time, I was the one who broke up.
00:54:29And you came chasing after me.
00:54:31But this time, why didn't you come back for me?
00:54:34Didn't you say, no matter what, you'd never let go of my hand?
00:54:39Your love for me couldn't even stand that little test?
00:54:42Ruashi, love isn't something to be tested.
00:54:45And your partner isn't someone to be mistreated.
00:54:48Get it now.
00:54:49Is it Su Ching-yen?
00:54:50That woman.
00:54:51It must be because of her.
00:54:54Lu Xien.
00:54:54We're the ones from the same world.
00:54:57These ten years.
00:54:59I've been with you.
00:55:00From our student days until now.
00:55:02What is she?
00:55:03Some bar hostess who sells smiles for a living.
00:55:07Is she even worthy of standing by your side?
00:55:09Watch your words.
00:55:10She earns her money through her own hard work.
00:55:13There's nothing shameful about that.
00:55:15I gave you so many years of my youth.
00:55:17All I wanted was a little more of your attention.
00:55:20To feel more secure in your love for me.
00:55:24Now, for the sake of some woman you've known for a few months, you're treating me like this?
00:55:28Fine.
00:55:30Since you care about her so much, I'll just destroy her.
00:55:35Don't you dare lay a finger on her.
00:55:39You're scared.
00:55:40Lu Xien.
00:55:41You're scared.
00:55:43In the ten years we were together, were you ever scared for me?
00:55:47The more scared you are, the more I'm going to do it.
00:55:51Even if you can stop me, can you stop all the enemies who want revenge and to take your family
00:55:56fortune?
00:55:57All of them?
00:55:58If she loses so much as a single hair, I'll make you wish you were dead.
00:56:11Lu Xien.
00:56:13I'm going to make sure you know that leaving me was the biggest mistake you ever made in your life.
00:56:28You're back.
00:56:28Let me tell you, today I saw this.
00:56:31Hilarious show.
00:56:35Mr. Lu.
00:56:37What happened?
00:56:39It's nothing.
00:56:40Things have been a bit rough lately.
00:56:42Be careful when you go out.
00:57:08No.
00:57:10The more you fear, I'm determined to do it.
00:57:13Even if you can stop me, can you stop?
00:57:17All those who want revenge, those enemies who want to seize your family assets, your rivals?
00:57:23Can't let you get hurt because of me.
00:57:25Get into danger.
00:57:26Bairoshi has gone crazy.
00:57:29Xiaoran won't stop either.
00:57:30You deserve safety.
00:57:31A free life.
00:57:33Not living in my shadow.
00:57:44The agreement is terminated early.
00:57:46Here's some money.
00:57:48Enough for you and your father to live comfortably for the rest of your lives.
00:57:52Leave Haicheng.
00:57:53Go to a safe place.
00:57:54Start over.
00:57:56Is it because of what you said yesterday?
00:58:00Because Bairoshi wants to hurt me.
00:58:02It's too dangerous around me.
00:58:04If you stay by my side, you'll just become a target.
00:58:07You are going to use, for my own good, as an excuse.
00:58:11To push me away completely?
00:58:12It's the best way to protect you.
00:58:14Don't accept that.
00:58:16Lucien.
00:58:17Do you have any idea that you acting like this is more hurtful than you saying,
00:58:21you don't love me anymore?
00:58:23Fine.
00:58:24Can leave.
00:58:26But before I go, I want you to tell me to my face.
00:58:29That you're sending me away.
00:58:31Not because you're afraid I'll get hurt.
00:58:34But because.
00:58:35You just don't care about me at all.
00:58:38Yes.
00:58:39You being by my side will only cause me more trouble.
00:58:45Alright.
00:58:47Then I'll do as you wish.
00:59:08After Ms. Sue left the villa, we lost contact with her.
00:59:11Her location data hasn't updated either.
00:59:14Our people lost her.
00:59:16Find her.
00:59:17Send everyone we can spare.
00:59:19Check the surveillance.
00:59:21Contact the traffic department.
00:59:23Keep an eye on Bai Ruashii and Xiao Ran.
00:59:25Mr. Lu, you need to calm down.
00:59:28Maybe Ms. Sue is just...
00:59:34Hello?
00:59:36Jingyan?
00:59:37Is that you?
00:59:38Where are you?
00:59:39Mr. Lu, wanna see your girlfriend?
00:59:41Get 50 million in cash ready.
00:59:43Private room 3 at Muse.
00:59:44Don't call the police.
00:59:46Otherwise...
00:59:46Qingyan!
00:59:48Qingyan!
00:59:55Where's the money?
01:00:02Mr. Lu, your woman's worth a lot, huh?
01:00:04But my boss changed his mind.
01:00:07We want the money.
01:00:08And her life.
01:00:16Tell me.
01:00:17Who invented this thing?
01:00:19It's really good at scaring people.
01:00:21Anon.
01:00:22The show's over.
01:00:23Thanks for your help.
01:00:24Don't mention it.
01:00:25It was nothing.
01:00:27It was nothing.
01:00:27I won't disturb you two any longer.
01:00:32Was scared.
01:00:34Are you okay?
01:00:36This was all planned by you.
01:00:38What else?
01:00:40Until you're afraid of losing me.
01:00:42And then you actually lose me.
01:00:45Do you know I'm going crazy?
01:00:46I thought you...
01:00:48I thought you...
01:00:49I know.
01:00:51That's why I had to...
01:00:52Let you know.
01:00:54Lu Shien.
01:00:55You pushing me away...
01:00:56Doesn't make me any safer.
01:00:58If Bai Roshi wants to harm me...
01:01:00No matter where I am...
01:01:01She'll find me.
01:01:04So...
01:01:04The best way to protect me...
01:01:06Is to keep me by your side.
01:01:08Only when you're by my side.
01:01:10If I'm in danger...
01:01:11Can you come...
01:01:13Protect me right away?
01:01:14The stronger you are...
01:01:15The safer I am.
01:01:22I'll never let you go again.
01:01:26It should've been like this all along.
01:01:31Tomorrow is the Soo Group's Hai Chung Branch's cooperation tender meeting.
01:01:35You'll come with me.
01:01:37The Soo Group's tender meeting?
01:01:42Mr. Lu, that kind of occasion...
01:01:44It's not really appropriate for me to go, is it?
01:01:47First, I don't have the professional background.
01:01:49Second, I don't understand all those business terms you use.
01:01:53You don't need to understand the terms.
01:01:55At the last dinner, you had some really unique insights.
01:01:59This time, just stay by my side.
01:02:01And offer suggestions.
01:02:04Uh... tomorrow...
01:02:05You might not be feeling too well.
01:02:07The last few times I was negotiating with the Soo Group, you already used headaches, stomach aches, and allergies as
01:02:14excuses.
01:02:15What's the reason this time?
01:02:18I...
01:02:18My shoes don't fit well.
01:02:21Tomorrow morning, I'll have Secretary Lin send over ten pairs of well-fitting high heels.
01:02:26You can pick one.
01:02:27We leave at 2 p.m. sharp tomorrow afternoon.
01:02:31Hey!
01:02:34Oh no, oh no, oh no!
01:02:36What if I run into my dad?
01:02:39No.
01:02:40Can't let my dad recognize me.
01:02:43Need a disguise.
01:02:53Come on.
01:02:54You can do this.
01:03:02What is this?
01:03:03Mr. Lu.
01:03:05Mr. Lu.
01:03:06As your plus one, I believe, professionalism and seriousness are our top priorities.
01:03:14This outfit perfectly reflects the Lu Group's rigorous and pragmatic...
01:03:19Uh...
01:03:21Corporate...
01:03:21Culture.
01:03:23Just say I look awful and tell me not to go!
01:03:25Tell me not to go!
01:03:28Tell me not to go!
01:03:37Well, look who it is.
01:03:39Miss Sue.
01:03:40Your outfit is...
01:03:42Quite eye-catching.
01:03:45So...
01:03:46Have you changed your taste lately?
01:03:49Or are you short on funds?
01:03:51You don't even have money for clothes?
01:03:54Mr. Lu, for an occasion like this,
01:03:57Couldn't Miss Sue have dressed up a bit?
01:04:00This?
01:04:02People might think she's your company's office cleaner.
01:04:05Bringing someone like her to negotiate with the Sue family?
01:04:08It shows a complete lack of respect for the Sue family.
01:04:13Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:04:14I'm the tackiest one here.
01:04:16Come on, keep attacking me.
01:04:17That way, Lu Xi'an will let me go back.
01:04:20What she wears is her business.
01:04:22It's her own affair.
01:04:23And who I bring is none of your concern.
01:04:26The Sue Group looks at work proposals and capability.
01:04:30Not at who has the biggest wardrobe.
01:04:33Capability?
01:04:34Lu Xi'an.
01:04:35Don't try to act tough when you're not.
01:04:37I might as well tell you,
01:04:39Manager Leo from the Sue Group branch
01:04:41has already been taken care of by us.
01:04:44Today's partnership deal,
01:04:45I'm determined to win this.
01:04:47You, with your embarrassing woman,
01:04:49should just leave now.
01:04:50Stop making a fool of yourselves.
01:04:52Chairman Sue values partnerships
01:04:54that reflect a partner's family values and taste.
01:04:58Lu Xi'an.
01:04:59Look at you.
01:05:01After you broke up with me,
01:05:02you're surrounded by this kind of...
01:05:05tasteless woman.
01:05:07And your company is on shaky ground.
01:05:10Chairman Sue would never consider you.
01:05:15What's going on here?
01:05:16All this noise.
01:05:18Mr. Sue.
01:05:19I'm Lu Xi'an from the Lu Group.
01:05:25It's an honor to meet you.
01:05:26It was just a small misunderstanding.
01:05:28My apologies for disturbing you.
01:05:30Mr. Lu.
01:05:31I've been hearing some things lately
01:05:33about you personally and your company.
01:05:35Here at the Sue Group,
01:05:37we place great importance
01:05:39on a partner's stability and public image.
01:05:42Mr. Sue, you are absolutely right.
01:05:45I've been with him for 10 years.
01:05:47Because of this woman,
01:05:48with their shady dealings,
01:05:50he wants to break up with me.
01:05:52Not long ago,
01:05:53she was still serving drinks in a bar.
01:05:55And today, she shows up at such an important event.
01:05:58It's completely inappropriate.
01:06:02Mr. Sue,
01:06:03our Xiao Group is completely different.
01:06:06Our family reputation is impeccable.
01:06:08Our foundation is solid.
01:06:09Unlike Mr. Lu,
01:06:11whose personal life is so messy.
01:06:12And his companion is so...
01:06:15undignified.
01:06:16The risk of partnering with him is simply too high.
01:06:19Our Xiao Group is your ultimate choice.
01:06:21Mr. Lu,
01:06:22if even the people around you
01:06:24are stirring up such controversy,
01:06:26I have serious doubts about your ability
01:06:28to manage a team or a project.
01:06:31And you.
01:06:33At such a young age,
01:06:34you could learn anything.
01:06:36But you insist on clinging to a man
01:06:38who has a girlfriend.
01:06:39You have no self-respect.
01:06:41You have no shame.
01:06:42If I were your parents,
01:06:44I would die of humiliation.
01:06:46You old man.
01:06:47What did you say?
01:06:52What did you call me?
01:06:54You.
01:06:55You actually called Chairman Sue an old man?
01:06:58Lu Shiyan?
01:06:59This woman.
01:07:00How dare she call Chairman Sue an old man?
01:07:03Your Lu family is finished.
01:07:09That's right.
01:07:10I did call you an old man.
01:07:12So what?
01:07:13So what if I'm a hostess?
01:07:14Did I steal from you?
01:07:16I earn my own living through hard work.
01:07:18I'm 10,000 times better than you,
01:07:20who only knows how to get things done through bribery,
01:07:23through fraud,
01:07:23and through being a parasite on your family.
01:07:26I'm 10,000 times cleaner than you.
01:07:29And you.
01:07:30You don't know how to love anyone.
01:07:31Your love life failed,
01:07:33so you want to drag the whole world down with you.
01:07:35You're always making a scene.
01:07:37A bitter woman.
01:07:38What gives you the right to boss me around?
01:07:40What gives you the nerve to lecture me about class and family values?
01:07:44Don't you dare talk back.
01:07:47Soon, you'll drag down the Lu family
01:07:49and get yourself blacklisted together.
01:07:51You little brat.
01:07:53How dare you play your own father like this?
01:07:56And you dress up like this?
01:07:58You just said so.
01:07:59You should die of shame.
01:08:02Chairman Su, what did you say?
01:08:04Everyone.
01:08:05She is my unworthy daughter, Su Ching-Yen.
01:08:08No. Impossible.
01:08:10She's just a hostess.
01:08:12How could she be the Su family's heiress?
01:08:13I own daughter.
01:08:15How could I mistake her?
01:08:16Even if she turned to ashes, I'd still recognize her.
01:08:20Dad, it was these two who bullied me.
01:08:23I heard that for this bidding meeting,
01:08:25they even gave gifts to a manager named Liu.
01:08:27Su.
01:08:28You handle it yourself.
01:08:30You two, get out of here right now.
01:08:33Su Corporation will never cooperate with you.
01:08:36No, no, no. Chairman Su, Miss Su.
01:08:38This has nothing to do with me.
01:08:40It was all this woman who deceived me.
01:08:43Xiao Ran, what are you saying?
01:08:45Huh?
01:08:47How dare you?
01:08:48Hit me!
01:08:50It's all because of you, making me offend the Su family's heiress and the Su Corporation.
01:08:56It's all you! Our Xiao family is finished!
01:08:59Finished.
01:09:01Lu Xien, do you think you've won?
01:09:04This woman, she's been getting close to you from the start.
01:09:08What hostess? What poor family?
01:09:11She's been using a fake identity to get close to you.
01:09:14She's been playing you like a fool.
01:09:16You really are the heiress of the Su group?
01:09:18Yes. I am a daughter of the Su family.
01:09:22The heiress of the Su group.
01:09:24But your father was just a driver, wasn't he?
01:09:29I'm sorry.
01:09:31Lied to you.
01:09:32See? She lied to you too.
01:09:35She's been playing you for a fool.
01:09:38No!
01:09:38That's not it.
01:09:40Lu Xien did get close to you on purpose.
01:09:43Ever since six years ago, at school,
01:09:46when you encouraged me,
01:09:48that shy and insecure girl,
01:09:50I fell for you.
01:09:52What did you say?
01:09:53I pretended to be poor.
01:09:55I could.
01:09:56Get close to you without barriers.
01:09:59I schemed so I could stay by your side naturally.
01:10:02Hid my identity.
01:10:04Because I wanted to know.
01:10:06If, without all the glitz and glamour,
01:10:09just me,
01:10:10Su Qingyen,
01:10:10as a person,
01:10:11could find a way into your heart.
01:10:14You've forgotten me,
01:10:15haven't you?
01:10:22You.
01:10:23You're that girl from Jingxi High School.
01:10:26Ever since that day six years ago.
01:10:28Chasing you.
01:10:29Getting close to you.
01:10:31Possessing you.
01:10:33That's been my only scheme and calculation.
01:10:36Lu Xien,
01:10:37if you're angry,
01:10:39because I deceived you,
01:10:41won't be upset either.
01:10:43Because that just proves
01:10:46you've already fallen for me.
01:10:52Su Qingyen,
01:10:54you liar.
01:10:56No.
01:10:57Impossible.
01:10:58Lu Xien,
01:10:59for ten years I poured my heart and soul into it,
01:11:02and still couldn't tie you down.
01:11:04Were all my fears,
01:11:05struggles,
01:11:06and anxieties over the years,
01:11:08just a joke?
01:11:09In your eyes?
01:11:11By Ro Shi,
01:11:12thank you for your company all these years.
01:11:14But it wasn't until I met Qingyen that I understood
01:11:17that life is full of hardships,
01:11:20especially in
01:11:20relationship.
01:11:22Two people in love
01:11:23shouldn't make things hard for each other.
01:11:26Let it go.
01:11:27Let me go.
01:11:28And let yourself go too.
01:11:34Ridiculous.
01:11:34Su Qingyen.
01:11:37This is the man you found for my daughter?
01:11:39Average family background.
01:11:41Average career.
01:11:42And he's still hung up on his ex.
01:11:44You.
01:11:45Go wash that ridiculous makeup off your face.
01:11:49And you.
01:11:50Come with me.
01:11:57Oh no, oh no.
01:11:59My dad's expression.
01:12:00It's exactly the same as when he interrogated.
01:12:03VP who embezzled 800 million.
01:12:06Exactly the same.
01:12:07Good thing I got here in time.
01:12:08I almost missed this great show.
01:12:12Your name is Lu Xien.
01:12:15Yes, Chairman Su.
01:12:16Then let me ask you.
01:12:17You're 10 years older than my daughter.
01:12:19Your company almost went under.
01:12:21You had a 10 year relationship.
01:12:24What makes you think you can marry my daughter?
01:12:27Because you're older?
01:12:29Or because you're more experienced?
01:12:33What is the old man talking about?
01:12:34Shh.
01:12:35Be quiet.
01:12:36This is the crucial moment.
01:12:39Chairman Su.
01:12:40Everything you said is true.
01:12:42Can't promise Yan Yan a flawless past.
01:12:45But I can promise.
01:12:47Can give her a future where I'll give my all.
01:12:49With complete devotion.
01:12:52That's easy for you to say.
01:12:54Mr. Su.
01:12:55The teapot in your hand.
01:12:56Is it by Master Gu Jingzhou?
01:12:59Mm-hmm.
01:13:01You know about this stuff?
01:13:02He knows about this?
01:13:04I have some interest in it.
01:13:06Then take a look.
01:13:07Tell me.
01:13:08This Gu Jingzhou teapot.
01:13:09Is it real or fake?
01:13:14This teapot.
01:13:15The clay is high quality Di Cao Qing.
01:13:18The craftsmanship is also excellent.
01:13:21At first glance.
01:13:22It could almost pass for the real thing.
01:13:24But it's not an authentic work by Master Gu.
01:13:27In Master Gu's authentic work.
01:13:29The tension in the lines on the body.
01:13:31And the spirit and energy in their flow.
01:13:33An imitator can't capture even a fraction of it.
01:13:36You can even perceive Master Gu's energy?
01:13:38Is that possible?
01:13:40Master Gu's teapots emphasize a seamless natural fluidity.
01:13:44While this piece is impressive.
01:13:45In my humble opinion.
01:13:47This is a contemporary imitation by a master.
01:13:50The skill level is extremely high.
01:13:52But it's not a genuine piece by Master Gu.
01:13:56All these years.
01:13:57You're the first one to see through it.
01:13:59To realize this isn't Master Gu's genuine work.
01:14:02I made this myself.
01:14:03Just for fun.
01:14:06After all these years.
01:14:08You're the first one to see that this isn't Master Gu's authentic work.
01:14:12I made this pot myself.
01:14:14Just for fun.
01:14:16Come on.
01:14:17Take a look at this one.
01:14:18It's from the Yangla era.
01:14:24Ah.
01:14:27Am I seeing things?
01:14:29Why does Uncle look like he's found a long lost brother?
01:14:33It's authentic.
01:14:36Exactly.
01:14:37I told you so.
01:14:38Old Song insisted it was a fake back then.
01:14:40Which really pissed me off.
01:14:43You're the one who knows what's what and has a good eye.
01:14:46Uh.
01:14:47Girl.
01:14:48Think I just saw your dad hugging your boyfriend.
01:14:52I saw it too.
01:14:53My dad was smiling like a 200 pound kid.
01:15:00Dad.
01:15:01Are you done talking?
01:15:02What about my thing?
01:15:04I'm very pleased with Xi'an.
01:15:06Thank you, Chairman Su.
01:15:07Don't call me Chairman Su.
01:15:09That's too formal.
01:15:10Call me brother.
01:15:12Brother.
01:15:13What's with Chairman Su?
01:15:15So formal.
01:15:16Just call me big brother.
01:15:19Big brother.
01:15:19Big brother.
01:15:22Dad.
01:15:23Whose side are you on?
01:15:25I'm your daughter.
01:15:26You were supposed to be testing him.
01:15:29How could you?
01:15:30Swear brotherhood left and right?
01:15:32The family hierarchy is a complete mess now.
01:15:34Hmph.
01:15:35You think I forgot.
01:15:37You calling me old man?
01:15:39Xi'an, this kid, is much more sensible than you.
01:15:43As for that test, he passed.
01:15:45Xi'an, this kid, is steady, responsible, and knowledgeable.
01:15:50It's just that in the past, his taste wasn't the best.
01:15:53But towards you, he's completely sincere.
01:15:56But listen, kid.
01:15:57If you ever dare to let my daughter get hurt.
01:16:00No matter how well we get along, I won't go easy on you.
01:16:04Don't worry, uncle.
01:16:06Absolutely.
01:16:07Alright, fine.
01:16:09Family harmony.
01:16:12Brothers getting along?
01:16:14That might not be so bad.
01:16:19Ha ha ha.
