[English subtitles are available] [The Ideal City] [This is a work of fiction] [Ep12] This is what happened. I didn’t… I didn’t make the call to Mr. Huang. I also didn’t see clearly what Su Xiao wrote on the note. Mr. Wang, please. Please believe me. Both you and Mr. Chen are nice to me.
Though I have some small problems, -Enough! -I would never… Enough already! Stop whining! Mr. Wang… Mr. Xu, you’ve heard everything. I did not make this up. They put a mole in my company. Quit fooling around. Come clean now. Wang Yang. What’s this about? Everyone’s waiting. Say something.
Okay. I’ll tell you the truth. It’s actually somewhat embarrassing. Su Xiao wanted to win so badly. And she’s afraid I wouldn’t approve of her bid, so she told the lie. I called her into my office, and I asked her in person. She told me everything in details. Because we told her
The project is her chance to prove herself. If we win, she’ll be promoted to the manager of Business Contract Department. Do you see how it came to be? After all, it’s an internal problem that we didn’t handle well, making a fool of ourselves. And someone’s here to laugh at me.
Who are you fooling? We need Su Xiao to come. Are we done yet? She’s the person involved. She knows best! Are you afraid? What are you up to? See, you’re worried. Su Xiao, I didn’t make the call. What you wrote on the note, I didn’t really see.
Shut your mouth! Have I wronged you? Su Xiao, you got here just in time. Please tell us. Who disclosed the information to you? Stop interrogating her. Told you it’s a lie she made up to win the bid. What else do you want to know? Don’t further embarrass yourself!
For such a small project… I never knew you’re this shameless. I wouldn’t go that far! You dare to let her speak? Su Xiao! Talk! Girl, I’m begging you. Please. Tell everyone I didn’t see anything. It’s… Xu Feng. Tang Lili, Mr. Zhao asked to see me hastily. Anything wrong? I don’t know.
Mr. Zhao just said that you should go right in once you’re here. Thanks. Mr… Mr. Zhao, did you ask to see me? Assistant Xu, you’re finally back. As an auditor, do you know what confidentiality means? Of course. Of course? What’s wrong, Mr. Huang? If so, why did you disclose TK’s classified data
To Su Xiao? I didn’t. I’ve never shown Su Xiao any confidential data of TK. One month ago, you showed me TK’s statement. It’s just a statement. It’s not confidential. Based on numbers on that statement, I calculated the gross profit margin ratio. Based on that ratio, I was able to estimate their price range.
Then we won the bid yesterday. It’s not possible. You just took a quick glance. True. I only had a quick glance. But I remembered all the numbers. It’s a paper full of numbers. How is it possible? Whether she can do it, let’s find out. Show me. She’s right.
Su Xiao’s telling the truth. Xu Feng. In accordance with our audit rules, you are prohibited from showing TK’s internal documents to outsiders. Yes. At that time, the president… I’ll bear the responsibility for it. I’m not feeling well lately so I’ve been slacking. It’s Xu Feng’s first time
Acting as the audit team leader. He lacks experience. As the department head. I didn’t provide proper guidelines; neither did I follow through and supervise timely, causing everyone so much unnecessary misunderstandings. Right now, Lilin. I apologize. Zhiping, please don’t… Please sit down. Please don’t bear all the responsibilities. Why did you apologize?
You aren’t the one who should apologize. Mr. Huang, I’m sorry. It’s my fault. Your fault? TK lost a project worth 70 million yuan. How do you make it up? Things have come to an end, which is good. Why don’t you all go back to work? Later we executives,
Will hold a meeting about this, and give you an explanation. Su Xiao. The person who wanted to fire you badly wasn’t me; not my uncle, either. It’s your direct supervisor, Mr. Yu. I was thinking if you helped me this once, I’ll help you get your cost engineer license back.
If you work as my assistant, I’ll give you space and freedom. I wouldn’t be like Chen Siming, micro-managing. To Zhao Xiankun, TK is only one subsidiary company. But to my uncle, TK is all that he has. Well done, Xia Ming. What did I do? Where do I even begin?
Probably it started since the new employee training. Nope. Since you learned Xu Feng is the audit team leader, you approached me on purpose, telling me that it’s Mr. Yu who fired me Dispelled my hospitality toward you, and brought us closer. At that time, you didn’t know if you could use me.
But you… think deeper and farther than others. Thorough, too. Seat belt please. Given your ability, Xu Feng can’t possibly find any foul play. I was the only one who followed through Public Housing Project. I knew all the fake subcontracting. You knew that while I was helping Xu Feng, I would come across
Your numbers. I wanted to know where the money went. I could not verify if my judgment was right. So you leaked the numbers to me on purpose. So I knew my assessment was accurate. Then I could apply it to the bidding. Here you are. Any drinks? Then?
As long as I used the data, I’d be asked to reveal its source. I could only sell Xu Feng out. You could also say that you saw the data from me. Had I done that, it would have been collusive bidding. Not to mention no one would believe that my competitor
Would disclose the numbers to me. As such, step by step, I walked into the trap you set up. Saying that knowing how to calculate the numbers is not enough. Xia Ming, you are truly an expert at calculating. Killing three birds with one stone! From the very beginning,
You had it all planned out. To avoid future troubles, you even requested to have me transferred to TK. giving me management-level treatment. When Mr. Wang found out, he would’ve asked me to stay. Naturally, I would’ve been highly regarded. As for me, since I promised you, I’d have sided with TK.
I wouldn’t have helped Xu Feng. Had I disagreed, you would have been like now, using me to take down Xu Feng. I once thought you… What about me? Stop the car! I know you’re mad. I don’t want to argue with you. But after you calm down, please think it through. Haven’t I made
The best choice? Thank you for teaching me another lesson. I meant it when I invited you to join TK. And this invitation never expires. Mr. Zhao, I’m very sorry. I never thought that things would get this sticky. Okay. I’ll get going now. Sigh… Why signing? Don’t you think
We acted a bit too much? Can Mr. Zhao tell? He’s not Erlang God. On his forehead, he doesn’t have a third eye. Just like you and me, he’s only human. But he is… the most capable person I’ve ever seen. His head is like a computer. What’s funny? Don’t blame me. You always
Think like Howling Celestial Dog. When you stand up, you are one and a half times his size. You’re also very capable. Why are you scared of him? You knew nothing. I wasn’t afraid of him. I don’t get it. No, you really don’t. Wang Yang, You value relationships. I’m not like you.
Though you value relationships, Zhao Xiankun may not. No matter what, You are the general manager of TC Construction. If you want to hire someone you have to go through Maria. Why should you? What has she done for the company? Has she moved any bricks? Has she ever carried bags of concrete?
Has she fought for Zhao Xiankun? Has she shielded him from thunders? She’s a nobody without her husband. How could she talk to you that way? She’s a nobody! Xu Feng. He came to audit TK with such a stuck-up attitude. Who did he think he is? A government official? Zhao Xiankun likes to
Use this kind of people, saying they’re well-educated and open-minded. I agree. But the truth is they are here to piggy ride on us. I don’t mind the freeloaders. But they should’ve had the most basic etiquette: showing us some respect! Disrespect is a crime! Zhao Xiankun needs us to work for him now.
But when you and I are useless to him, we’ll no longer be general managers. Forget about it! We need a backup plan, and the exit route. Do you have a plan already? What are we? We are in the construction business. Construction project is the way to go! Where are projects from? Through connections.
These years, I’ve spent a lot of money on building connections. I’ve accomplished something. You want to go solo? Why not? Don’t tell me that you’ve never thought about it. It’s better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. What do we have less than he does?
An arm or a leg? We’ve got everything he has. We used to start a construction project with just a few people. Project scales have gone big now. You can’t take the case without connections. Yinghai Group can take on big projects, and then subcontract them to us, keeping our businesses afloat.
You are content when making ends meet. Zhao Xiankun didn’t start off having connections. He’s just like us, building the business from the ground up. He got better off because he married up. I’m old. I don’t have hopes, but Xia Ming has a bright future. Do you know He Shengli? He’s higher-up.
And his daughter has a thing with Xia Ming. They have chemistry. There’s chemistry, huh. With the look on your face, I almost thought they’re married. Why can’t you be happy for me? Making salty comments all the time. How is it salty, Fat Huang? The silent toad catches the fly.
It’s better to hide your light under the bushel. Take my advice. Get the thing done first before you brag about it. You might get busted, and get yourself in trouble, making a big mess. I know that Xia Ming is sharp. But he can’t compare up to Su Xiao. Speaking of the devil,
I must warn you. she’s no angel. I agree she’s no angel, but that doesn’t mean I’ll fire her so you can recruit her to TK. Fat Huang, listen to yourself, holding a spear in one hand, and shield in the other. Is fighting yourself that much fun? I’m speaking from my heart.
Don’t say that I didn’t warn you. Su Xiao is a scourge. I’m afraid she’ll do you bad. You are the scourge. Why can’t you say something nice? – She… – I’m done eating! Eating with you is a bad idea! I meant well… Where’s my briefcase? Don’t. Get the bill. Wang Yang. Please
Turn up the volume. Wang Yang. What’s funny? I don’t need a refill. I’m leaving soon. I don’t blame you. No one would have known Su Xiao has a photographic memory But, you did violate the rules of Yinghai’s audit system. There’s got to be consequences. Mr. Zhao, clearly they wanted to disrupt the audit.
It means that I’ve discovered their sore spot. Transferring me out means their scheme had succeeded. What do you think I should do? Keep digging, find evidence, and make Huang Lilin pay the price. Your only goal is making him pay. But it’s not the only way to solve the problem. Think before you act,
And consider the consequences. Isn’t there anything else we can do? I have my reasons. It’s getting late. Go home. It’s late. Why are you still here? Mr. Wang, I’ll be leaving soon. Wrap up and hurry home. Good night! Mr. Wang, do you think Dong Lin is the traitor?
Among the five of us, he’s the most suspicious. In my opinion, everyone has their reasons for doing something. I couldn’t really figure out what incentivized Dong Lin to call Huang Lilin. Not exposing us, he reaped nothing. Exposing us, he didn’t really gain anything. So I think that
Dong Lin is not the mole. The one who got the most out of it is the one to make the phone call. It makes sense. Let me sleep on it. Duer. Duer. Yes, Sir. Turn on the floor lamps. Yes, Sir. Duer. Duer. Yes, Sir. Turn on the ceiling lights. Sure.
Duer. Duer. Yes, Sir. Turn on the kitchen lights. Yes, Sir. Duer. Duer. Yes, Sir. Turn on the study lights. Yes, Sir. All lights are on in the room. If you want to turn on lights in other rooms, please tell me which room it is. Turn them all off. No problem.
Why did you give repetitive orders? Did it mean anything? Or were you just bullying me? Are you upset? No. I’ll always be here for you. Siming, about Global Lead Project, who signed off on it? Lu did. Anything wrong? Why didn’t Su Xiao do it herself? She doesn’t have Level-One cost engineering license.
Have you thought about the candidate for Business Contract Department Manager? Mr. Wang, I actually wanted to bring this up today. Between Su Xiao and Lu Zhengming, I made lots of comparisons, and found Lu Zhenming better suited for the role. Here are my thoughts. First, Lu Zhengmin is more senior and loyal.
He’s grown with the company. Second, Lu Zhengming is genuine and popular. He’ll win respect in the department. Third, He’s very capable. JS River Project bidding proposal was his work. Su Xiao’s technical ability is really outstanding. But Business Contract Department Manager is a managerial position. This time she led the Global Lead Project,
As you can see, there were many problems. Her management approach was problematic. The tasks weren’t allocated fairly. She needs to work on communication. She had conflicts with both Lu Zhengming and Dong Lin. If she becomes the manager, the office will be chaotic. Here’s what I recommend. Appoint Lu Zhengming as manager,
And Su Xiao is the key player. The team will have the skills to go to war, and it also has team unity. That’ll be the best combination. You made some good points. But I worry about Su Xiao. Don’t worry about her. She was fired from ZJ Construction. Everyone in our industry knows.
No other company will take her in. If she has a place to go, Zhou Jun wouldn’t have asked me for the favor. Furthermore, we could give her a raise to reassure her. If you also agree to it, I’ll submit the request to promote Lu Zhengming to the HR department.
I will also ask for Su Xio’s raise from the Human Resources. You should talk to Su Xiao first. She should get a raise immediately. Zhengming’s promotion can wait. I’ll give it more thoughts. And hear from other people Have Dong Lin back. Okay. Mr. Chen, You can rest assured. I will take your side
Without a doubt. No problem. I got this! Bro. I don’t get it. Why did Mr. Chen think highly of Zhengming Lu? Lu Zhengming is like a dough. He’s easy to manipulate. But Su Xiao is a firecracker. You might burn your finger if you’re not careful.
If it were you, who would you pick? This is Ms. Su who I’ve been talking to you about. Ms. Su, this is Ms. Li. She’s in charge of recruiting. Ms. Su, I’ll cut to the chase. Your work experiences are very impressive amongst all applicants in the database. You’re very experienced,
And we really like that. So we’ve consulted Mr. Sun about the reasons why you left ZJ. The reason took us aback. We had discussions on it, and felt we should still give each other a chance. But the salary we offer may not meet your expectation. It’ll take some time.
Are you okay with it? I can accept it as I think process is necessary. Sounds good. Ms. Su, welcome on board. Thank you. It’s okay. Watch your steps. It’s reassuring to assign this project to you. Thank you, Mr. Wang. The project has kept me on my toes. Fortunately everything progressed smoothly.
Finally I can sleep well at night. Earlier Su Xiao made mistakes on the BOM. Did it result in any losses? No. The mistakes were caught in time. What do you think about Su Xiao? Pretty good. She’s got talent. You can tell she’s a doer. Who never made mistakes? Just be careful going forward.
I thought so, too. Manager of Business Contract Department has been vacant for a year. It’s time to give the younger folks the opportunity. But it’s hard to decide. Lu Zhengming and Su Xiao. Each has strengths and weaknesses. Who should I pick? Mr. Wang, you asked a difficult question. Lu is very dependable.
He’s taken one step at a time, but he’s too steady. Su Xiao is bold but cautious, always learning. If you ask me, both of them are qualified for the role. But if I were to pick, I’d choose Su Xiao. Why? The Business Contract Department can use some changes for the better.
Mr. Chen is very conservative. If the manager is also conservative, no progress will be made. Why did you do that? Didn’t you promise Mr. Chen that you’ll vouch for Lu Zhengming? So I did. I said he’s dependable. But you vouched more for Su Xiao. Why? Use your brain. Our bonus
Is tied to projects. If it were Mr. Chen and Lu Zhengming, the art gallery project wouldn’t be feasible. Su Xiao did the material analysis, and the project turned profitable. This girl’s got ideas and abilities. TC Construction needs people like her. If we don’t make progress, TC will soon be faded out.
I thought you and Mr. Chen are very close. If Su Xiao becomes manager, is it good for you? If we side with Mr. Chen, he’ll have meat while I only have soup. If Lu Zhengming becomes manager, he’ll take the exact same approach as Mr. Chen. That’ll suck. If it were Su Xiao,
The power dynamics must undergo changes. What comes with changes is turmoil. Where there’s turmoil, there’s opportunity. Think about it. I’ve helped Su Xiao. She’ll be nice to me. I see. But how are you gonna explain to Mr. Chen? When did they leave? How come I wasn’t told in advance. Yesterday afternoon.
They left right after a call. They told me to tell you. The audit’s finally over. Clean up the place. Okay. What’s wrong? Based on what I know about Zhao Xiankun, if he calls me in for a talk and clears all misunderstandings, the page is considered turned. But it’s been two days.
He did not ask to see me, and he withdrew the audit team. It means that he’s plotting something else. For Yinghai Group, there are only two choices when dealing with disobedient subsidiaries. You sell them, or you merge them. Regardless, we can’t turn back anymore. Get my blood-pressure meter over.
What’s there to worry about? From now on, we’ll just do what the president wants us to do. That’s it. We don’t hide any bills. What he wants to see, he’ll see it. You seem to be a different person today? What’s up with that? Can’t I simply manage TK the way it should be?
All of a sudden? Why do you quit? Since I’m still young, I want more different experiences. I’ve just asked for your raise. You know both Mr. Wang and I value your talents, right? We’ve been giving you many opportunities. Would you please reconsider? I appreciated both you and Mr. Wang very much.
I’ve thought it through, and I found a job. Which company? A bidding company. I see… If you ever find yourself unhappy over there, come back to TC anytime. Thank you, Mr. Chen. Du Juan, reserve a room for 20 people. I’ve sent off many subordinates over the years, but never did I feel
As saddened as today. Su Xiao was my recruit. She’s hardworking and dedicated. She’s got a positive work attitude. I admire her very much. Her departure is a huge loss to our department. But we need to respect her career goals. I was thinking… I am just a small potato. I should just leave silently.
I didn’t expect a sendoff gathering. Once a TC employee, always a family. Don’t say such a thing, that counted us out as your family. Su Xiao. You’ve got to drink up for what you said as a punishment. Though I’m leaving TC, the experiences I had here are very valuable in my life.
It’s everyone here tonight who helped me realize what I truly want for life, and the future career path I’d take on. Thank you very much, especially Mr. Chen. Well-said. Wherever you are, TC will be your home forever. You’re welcome to come home anytime. Let’s raise a toast. All together.
May Su Xiao have a blessed future! A blessed future! Thank you, thank you all. Cheers! Dig in. Eat up.
