=Episode 35=
This is the benefit solely for you.
Our company treats everyone with respect
and we don't hope our members devote themselves to the career
at the expense of their families.
Therefore, after discussing with Yihui,
we decided to solely provide
some subsidies to you as the benefits of your partnership.
Have a look at it.
If you agree to it,
sign it.
Because the conditions I raise
are necessary conditions for the partnership
so if she signs it but fails to fulfill them,
she violates the contract.
Madam Tang, you are her friend.
Shouldn't you be frank with her
and talk to her in person?
If she did
regard me as a friend,
she wouldn't have lied to me.
An adult is liable for her actions.
Don't you agree?
Mr. Jin.
I would like to tell you something.
- Mr. Jin. - Don't sign it.
Don't sign anything.
It's a trap.
They are testing you.
A trap?
Listen.
If you sign it,
you'll become a fraudster.
Mr. Jin.
Miss Qin is a capable attorney.
She has done so much
for your firm
but your firm has harsh
and unfair rules.
That's why she...
Yang Hua.
Just listen to me.
They already knew.
I know.
You do?
Mr. Jin, Madam Tang.
As to why
I hid my true marital status from you,
I will not give any excuses.
But
I need to say my piece.
The law firm
imposes a glass ceiling
for single female attorneys.
I hope
you can give everyone a chance and only promote those
who are capable.
That's how you can prevent
another situation like mine.
I respect you as my seniors
and my superiors.
I hope you
can see the sincerity
in my apology.
Are you criticizing us here?
Feifei doesn't want to see you
and wants you to go back.
What happened to you two?
Junhui.
What are you doing here sitting there quietly?
That can't solve the problem.
I'm so worried about you two.
You're always like this.
One is a crybaby
while another is a robot.
You two are engaged.
What is this episode?
Mrs. Wu, it's all my fault.
I'm sorry.
You already said that
many times.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
What exactly did you do?
Come with me.
You.
Is there another woman?
What I'm about to tell you
will stay between us.
You're a talented man.
30 years ago,
you could
very well outdo me.
But in this society,
most wealth is gathered
in the hands of the few.
What you can have
depends on how much the one above
is willing to give you.
Without a network,
how high can you reach
if you're just relying on yourself?
A law partner of Cheng & Hui?
Its senior partner?
Without talent and network,
you can't even be a partner.
You can establish your own law firm.
Take up some trivial cases here and there.
You want an important case?
You need to pull the strings.
Do you have it?
Xi Mei was founded 25 years ago.
I plan to retire
when it celebrates its
30th anniversary.
Junhui.
A good relationship
can make a woman happy forever.
But what makes a man
happy forever
is not just a good relationship.
Do you know what else?
A career.
I thought you were smart.
A smart person always weighs the pros and cons
before picking the best option.
Do you get it now?
I do, Mr. Wu.
Feifei might not be the best woman
you will encounter in your life.
But she is the one who truly
has your interest at heart.
Don't hurt her.
Don't let her down.
Let me pour you a glass of water.
I want some wine.
Wear your slippers.
How do you know it was a trap?
How do you...
Whatever.
It doesn't matter anymore.
Come.
What do you think Mr. Jin
and Madam Tang will do?
A firm partnership
is out of the picture.
Maybe I'll be fired too.
Madam Tang
won't want
to let me go like that.
In fact,
she has been very kind to me.
Slowly.
Why should I let this slide?
She should go out and see
which law firm will treat
its employees as kindly as I do.
She is like a sister to me.
But she
lied to me for two whole years.
She's a fox.
She grew arrogant
because I pampered her.
How can she do
such a ridiculous thing?
And she even
had the audacity to say we
forced her to do that.
She has no shame at all.
Shameless!
There, there.
I get why she lied.
Our recruitment system
was a bit discriminatory.
Don't lecture me on discrimination.
What does this business require?
Talents.
Do you know how much I have to invest in
to nurture a senior lawyer?
When those women came,
they came with sweet promises.
Like, no, I'm not going to get married.
No, I'm not going to have a child.
But then what happened?
Remember?
20 incumbent attorneys,
6 of which got pregnant within a year.
I couldn't fire them.
I had to pay them. But no one was working.
I'm a woman too
so I know I should sympathize
with expecting women.
But I'm also the owner.
Who can sympathize with me?
That's why I understand why she did that.
Qin Shi
did a spectacular job
in our firm.
To preserve her cover,
she even registered with Yang Hua.
I'm impressed.
She did a spectacular job
because I gave her the stage.
And we already made an exception
by offering her a partnership this early.
Don't meddle in this.
Fortunately, she did the good thing today
by coming clean.
It means she still has a good conscience.
If she did sign the contract,
then she would be caught lying to us red-handed.
We could even send her to jail.
See?
Even you don't want her
to sign it.
That's why I told you to move on.
Don't hold grudges.
If you're mad at her,
just make her resign.
Qin Shi is capable
but she isn't irreplaceable.
She's not worth
frowning over.
Resignation? Impossible.
Calm down now.
Getting some wrinkles for this
isn't worth it.
Stop drinking.
You drank too much.
When Mr. Jin took out that contract,
I really wanted to come clean.
But there were
two voices in my head.
One of them was you.
You asked me to judge with my heart.
But the other voice was from...
Either way,
he told me to judge with my career.
He told me to remain silent.
I was in a dilemma
but you won.
Do you know why?
Because in that crucial moment,
I thought of someone.
Who?
I thought about my brother.
I came clean to him
and told him I lied to him.
Did he scold you?
He said he felt bad for me.
He said
I didn't have to be this competitive,
this hardworking.
But...
But I saw what my mom was like.
I know I can't be weak.
Because I'll be bullied.
I will become stronger.
I will work harder.
I want to be the top 20%.
I don't want to be a nobody.
But at that moment,
I faltered.
I didn't know
what my heart wanted.
Yang Hua.
After I graduated from my school,
I worked in a law firm as an intern.
I followed behind
a criminal defense lawyer.
I saw many, many criminals.
Murderers, arsonists,
rapists. I saw them all.
Everyone said
they made a bad decision
in the wrong moment.
But I didn't believe them.
I said that was impossible.
They were born evil
and greedy.
But today, I realized
I'm not exactly
beyond them.
Yang Hua.
I am a hypocrite.
Do you look down on me?
Yang Hua, I think I'm screwed.
I thought I could use
empowering women as an excuse.
I feel criminal.
Come.
No, you aren't.
I know you're just consoling me.
No, I'm not.
I just want to let you know
that I've been there.
Really?
You're not the only one here
who has been enticed
and who later found out
how weak and greedy you are.
Really?
You asked me
about Yao Yao.
I didn't tell you
that I broke up with her
because Qiu Jianxiang
wanted me to be with his daughter.
Yang Hua.
I know
Yao Yao is a good girl.
But have you thought this through?
She is an air stewardess.
She will reach her ceiling soon.
But you're different.
You will be a giant in finance.
You two are not good for each other.
Instead of dealing with this mess
in the future,
why don't you break up with her now?
It will be less ugly.
Mom, I don't have time for this.
Just mind your own business.
And then,
Yongli 21 happened
and I lost what I thought
was mine.
That's when I know
prodigies or geniuses
are nothing
in front of greed.
But you're different.
You made the right choice
in the key moments.
You reflected upon yourself.
You felt guilty for your
deviousness and that means you have
a brave and kind soul.
If I need a lawyer,
I'll entrust everything to you.
If Madam Tang and Mr. Jin see this,
they won't let you go.
If they fail to see it,
then forget it.
We'll find another way.
You have the talent.
You will shine wherever you go.
Good luck, Qin Shi.
A real warrior can face a bleak life.
I can't.
Don't they say rest for a bit
when you fall?
I haven't had enough rest yet.
It's okay.
Unlike Yang Hua,
you can't earn money at home.
You have to face it.
You can do it.
You have the audacity
to appear before me.
How shameless of you.
Hui...
Madam Tang.
So many things have happened yesterday
so I didn't have time to say it.
I know
I owe you an apology
in person.
An apology?
Why?
Aren't we the ones at fault?
I know
I let you down.
I failed you.
You viewed me as your sister.
You look after me. You pampered me.
Without your guidance,
I wouldn't be who I am today.
So
I should apologize to you.
I...
Yes?
I'm willing to accept whatever decision
you have in mind.
If you don't want to see me,
I will resign right away.
If you make a mistake,
you should be punished for it.
But you think
a resignation can make up
for the damage you caused?
I'm willing to accept any forms
of punishment.
You said it.
But considering
my work and what
I have done so far,
can I ask for leniency?
If possible, I...
Qin Shi.
Whether you can be an attorney or not
and where
your office will be or
what cases you will handle...
Your entire career is in my hand.
You have no leverage.
I just have a very tiny
suggestion.
Am I smiling?
You will have one last chance.
My treat later.
Brown sugar milk tea with tapioca pearls.
I'll take your word for it.
No taking back.
It's my job.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Mr. Qiao, we have a newcomer?
I guess so.
You'll be her colleagues now.
So please look after her.
- Don't worry. - Sure.
Miss Qin?
Hi, I'm Qin Shi.
I'm the new legal assistant.
I look forward to learning from you.
Now you'll be in charge
of Tianhang acquisition.
Isn't Qin Shi in charge of it?
I gave her another project.
Serve you right, Qin Shi.
Serve you right.
I am so unlucky.
Qiao can't keep a secret, can he?
Are you done laughing?
I'm going to hang up then.
Let me guess.
You must be hiding in the toilet now.
Right?
Impossible.
Qin Shi, I commend your bravery.
If I were you,
I wouldn't have the cheekiness
to return to the family department like this.
You sure a cut above me.
Are you still on that sanctimonious duty
to overturn the unspoken rules
in Cheng & Hui?
Yes, why shouldn't I?
Qin Shi.
Do run a genealogy test.
I think you might be
a descendant of Don Quixote.
I could buy you lunch.
We can take a photo
to commemorate today.
I have to hang up now.
My client is calling.
Client? What client?
Hey.
Hi, I'm Qin Shi.
You are a bunch of crooks.
You promised
so many things
before me
but in the end,
it's all a lie.
Miss Qin.
I'm telling you now.
If Tianhang will not hand over
my file within three days,
just wait for the court summon.
Hello?
Okay.
I see.
Thank you.
Tianhang is closing the deal
with Nanzhou Group and Anlyu.
We don't need
Yao Yao's cooperation anymore.
They are now drafting
the acquisition contract.
Isn't that great?
Why are they making it difficult for Yao Yao?
Don't they want a happy ending?
You have to ask Mr. Yin about that.
Don't stop me.
You can't come in, Miss Yao.
What are you doing, Yin Zhiqiang?
How dare you switched my post?
Two days ago,
you asked me to cooperate with the company.
I did.
And what are you doing now?
Yao Yao.
You are beautiful
so don't get angry.
Don't forget
that as a member of our staff,
you should follow our rules.
Why should I lead the training program?
Indeed.
We spent a fortune to let you study
overseas.
And now, we
need more capable individuals
like you.
Therefore, we will establish
a training program
and you will be its leader.
As the program leader,
you'll have more time
for your family.
Isn't that a win-win solution?
What?
What on earth
is wrong with Mr. Yin?
He begged her to help
and now, he kicked away the ladder.
From the Head of Client Service
to a Training Program Leader,
isn't that a demotion?
If I were Yao Yao, I would quit.
Mr. Yin and Yao Yao
are not on good terms.
If it weren't for the acquisition,
he wouldn't turn to Yao Yao at all.
No wonder.
Only selfish people
will lose
a lawsuit intentionally.
Having a boss like him
is a nightmare.
Our reputation
is at stake now. What should we do?
We're just handling the acquisition.
The rest has nothing to do with us.
Knowing
Yao Yao,
she will file a lawsuit.
And then, Cheng & Hui
will most probably have to handle it.
We have to be the bad guys again.
Yao Yao this, Yao Yao that.
What about your current situation?
I'm fine.
Why didn't you listen to me?
Just deny it.
He didn't have the evidence.
Do you know
you missed the chance
to be a firm partner?
Why do you want me
to obey you all the time?
It's not
as serious as you made it out to be.
Madam Tang needs to vent.
And I'm cheeky enough
to be placed
on an exhibition.
But didn't you want
to be a partner?
Do you know why
you're not one?
You're too emotional
and naive.
Gullible.
Not all good people get a good ending.
You're too kind.
Feifei, where are you going?
To work.
The meal is ready.
Leave once you have eaten.
What work?
Feifei?
Goodness.
Why are you so quiet?
Are you regretting it now?
No.
Yes.
No.
Yes.
Why is it hard to do
the right thing?
But that's
precisely why
those who attempt it are strong.
No.
What no?
You can't just comfort me
that easily.
No.
You have to continue to comfort me.
If I tell you
Tianhang's acquisition
will fail,
will you be happy?
Go ahead.
Do you know why Tianhang,
a company with unimpressive revenue,
high asset depreciation rate,
and bad management,
is highly sought after
by its peers?
Are you referring to
the Smart City?
I heard
Hu Ping is taking part in it.
He is considering
but
I don't think
it will take a long time.
The project is not feasible.
Why?
In this project,
Hu Ping covets
the new power station.
It has an excellent production model
and it embodies the future trend
of the energy market.
The projected yield
is very promising too.
However, when established in a new city,
from the construction, to operation,
and to self-sufficiency,
it will take a very long time.
The global economy is taking a downturn.
The factory's productivity is declining.
And the vacancy of the office building
is at an all-time high.
All these are not good
for a power station.
Regardless of how many occupants there are,
it has to keep churning out energy.
And this alone implies
that its cost is astronomical.
In that case,
Hu Ping should have turned this project down.
What is stopping him
then?
The cost of energy.
The cost of energy?
From a macro perspective,
this is a good project.
The challenge
lies in covering the potential losses
stemmed from its costly early stage.
For this project,
many assume
that the cost of energy will rise.
As a result,
the loss that comes with it will rise too.
Therefore, the fluctuation of energy price
in the next few days
will affect Hu Ping's decision.
So you are pessimistic about it.
Knowing him,
he won't take the risk.
Hi, Mr. Zeng.
Yes.
I have made up my mind.
I might have to let you down.
Sorry.
Tell Yang Hua
to come here
for dinner.
Yes, sir.
Miss Qin.
Hi Miss Kong.
We have received
the notice of hearing.
Next Wednesday.
Let me know when
you can come here.
We can discuss
our strategy.
Do you need help?
No,
Miss Qin.
It's a small matter. I can handle it.
I can handle all cases.
Feel free to ask me.
Wrong.
A complaint should be simple.
No need to be verbose.
Thanks, Miss Qin.
Thanks for your hard work, everyone.
Get some milk tea. It's my treat.
Thanks, Miss Qin.
It's my favorite
brown sugar milk tea with tapioca pearls.
Back to work.
Want some milk tea?
You want to buy a house?
You want to buy a house for real?
Don't forget your promise.
You'll help me apply
for the internal bank loan interest discount.
Let me hug you.
Welcome to the world of real estate slavery.
Do you remember
what you said to me?
You said I had lost my mind
because I was willing to trade my future
and my happiness for a cold, concrete box.
And now, I shall return them to you.
As the famous adage goes,
karma always catches up to you.
Wait.
You said you wanted
to use your pension
to buy a house.
What changed your mind?
I want to propose to Qin Shi with it.
Pro...
Don't tell anyone.
But aren't you married?
Wow.
Have a seat.
Miss Wu,
do you need me?
I'm quite busy.
You are quite resilient.
You lost everything
and you still have the guts to stay here.
Just how obsessed are you with Cheng & Hui?
I always think
people like you are proud.
Where are your dignity and pride?
Gone?
You would do everything
to achieve your goal.
Are you done? Continue.
I'm all ears.
Qin Shi...
Do you know?
As an attorney, insulting others without profanity
is our bread and butter.
I could reproach someone
for 30 minutes straight without repeating
the same vocabulary.
Do you want me to teach you?
Just how shameless are you?
Besides, did you just give me
a compliment?
Go out and ask
those people out there
who
didn't play by the office politics?
Before they
got their position here,
they have been tested countless times.
Oh.
Back then,
in the very same office,
I asked you
if you had what it took
to survive in this environment.
If you do not,
you should go back and rest.
Just so you know,
I'm different from the likes of you.
Indeed.
You are a senior lawyer,
in a spacious office.
But how did you become
a senior lawyer again?
Whether you deserve this position
or how long
you can stay there,
you know the answer
better than I do.
Also,
do you know?
Although you
are a senior attorney now,
none of them...
Sorry.
Other than the one you bribed,
none of them
has any respect toward you.
Do you know why?
Because they know
they can't learn anything from you.
You didn't get
into this office on your own.
You relied on your dad.
Compared to them
who fought their way here,
your action
is the greatest
insult and disrespect.
Don't you lecture me
while standing on a moral high ground.
There's no way your hands are clean
or you didn't pull any tricks.
I did.
I admit
that to circumvent the unspoken rules here,
I lied.
I'm not proud of that
nor will I find an excuse.
And so
those people out there
can criticize me
and look down on me.
I deserve that.
Because I did snatch what
could have been others'.
But you
can't do the same.
I... What about me?
You hoard company resources. You took shortcuts.
But worse, you didn't even outsmart me.
All you ever did was saying "Daddy, please".
But our law firm was generous enough
to turn a blind eye to it.
But after you pulled the daddy card,
where's your brain and competence?
Other than some dirty tricks and stirring up catfights,
what can you do?
Using the daddy card is fun
but will it work all the time?
My dear friend.
Nepotism makes you look cheap.
By the way, this is a law firm.
A society.
Not your home.
If you think
you are above everyone,
then prove it to everyone.
Otherwise,
anyone beyond this office
can get rid of you
at any given moment.
And then,
you might need to start calling them daddies too.
Qin Shi, leave now!
Sure.
Do you want some coffee?
With cream and sugar?
Miss Qin.
Back to work.
Well done, Miss Qin.
Is this your final decision?
My father
wants me to go back to help him.
I guess I can only
turn you down.
What about Mr. Tao?
Will he leave with you?
Why will he?
I think he fits in here
better than I do.
Isn't that right?
If this is your final decision,
I will not make you stay.
Cheng & Hui and Xi Mei
can always collaborate,
can't we?
Of course.
All the best.
Thank you, Madam Tang.
You came at a great time.
I haven't cooked
for many years.
Try it and tell me
if it's good.
If it's not good...
Oh, well. I tried.
You look cheery, Mr. Hu.
I thought
losing the Triple Supply project
will put a damper on your mood.
It can't possibly sour my mood.
You can't earn all the money
in the world.
And at my age,
you know
money isn't the most important thing.
So your firm wants Hu Ping
to invest in it?
Take that question mark away.
It is a fact now.
