[English subtitles are available] [The Ideal City] [This is a work of fiction] [Ep14] Did you play mahjong again last night? What mahjong? I couldn’t sleep all night. Why? I was restless. Should you do as he said and just join the group? I’m not afraid if he is against me.
I’m afraid if he is against you. I’ve been thinking about the meeting yesterday and what he said to you for a very long time. What if he says that you took the money and initiates an investigation? Even if he can’t find anything,
He can send you to prison for a year or a half and your life will be destroyed. I don’t think he will do that. You know nothing about Zhao Xiaokun. Everything you see about him is a successful man with a dignified life. But I’ve seen what he is capable of.
We used to have a project with an agreement on the cost of idleness in the final account with the subcontractor. That was such a hot summer. There’s no way they could carry on working at noon. The subcontractor brought the contract to him and wanted to negotiate the cost of idleness. It’s justifiable, right?
But he took the contract and tore it. He asked them one question. Do you know what it was? What? Where’s your contract? I’m not afraid if he is against me. If he targets me, I know most clearly everything he did because I’ve been working for him for such a long time.
If he wants to bring me down, he needs to have second thoughts. I’m afraid that he’ll bring you down. Zhao Xiankun is able to see the stakes at first sight. When he gives me a hard time, he is against you.
When he gives you a hard time, he is against TK Construction. So, there’s no use giving me a hard time. He just wants me to join the group and help him get more income. I fear that he’ll use you as a warning to others. The president isn’t narrow-minded like that.
It has nothing to do with his mind. So, join the group for now. After your relationship with Yao is stable, Zhao Xiankun won’t be able to do anything to you. Right. How’s the relationship between the two of you going? I’m not gossiping about your privacy. As your uncle, I care about you.
We’ve only met not long ago. What do you mean by that? It’s been two months. Your aunt is a difficult woman, right? I nailed her three days after knowing her. To this day, she still treats me whole-heartedly. Don’t laugh. It’s true. Yao is such a nice girl. She’s tender, kind and pretty.
She’s also well-educated. She is the politest girl I’ve ever seen. Even with her family background, she’s not wilful at all. I don’t know what’s in your mind. I’m too old. Let me tell you, If it was 20 years ago, I could’ve nailed her in just one week.
I’ll even make her devoted. Don’t laugh. You always throw my words to the wind. Where are you, Donlin? I’m at home. What’s wrong? It’s Friday. Don’t you need to work? Director Chen said that we worked overtime too much in international-leading projects a while ago. It’s a day off today. A day off?
Why didn’t I know? Didn’t Director Chen tell you? It can’t be. I’m at the office now. Then hurry back and get some rest. It’s a rare holiday. Just watch movies and eat nice food. Wouldn’t that be nice? What did you say to the headhunters? I… Have you met all the candidates?
– I… – Have you? Are the headhunters unreliable or are you unreliable? I… I believe if you made proper communications, you wouldn’t find me these useless craps. They’re totally unsuitable. Look at these. See for yourself. When can you be attentive? Can you think? Don’t make me give so many instructions
On every task. Alright. Get out. What’s wrong, my dear? Did you get scolded again? I’m used to it. No matter what I do, she always hates me. It’s about the approach you use. What approach? Watch me. Maria. Come in. I’m here to report to you. Your itinerary on Tuesday and Wednesday
Is scheduled roughly like this. On Tuesday, I especially reserved two hours of free time for you so that you can get some good rest in the hotel. You’re very attentive. Thanks. Not bad. You’re very efficient. Work hard. I learnt all of it from you. Do you know how you normally report to her?
How? You’re normally like this. I don’t think so. Really? Did she owe you money or did you owe her money? Do I have to behave like you? It depends on you. Anyways, it works on Maria. M… Maria. The headhunter strongly recommends him. He has rich experience in offshore financing. Mari…
Tell me. What about it? Maria. Helen isn’t focusing on her work recently. Do you know? She’s been interviewing candidates for the cost manager recently. I was wondering. I couldn’t remember which company asked for a candidate. After asking around, I found out that TC Construction is in urgent need
Of a cost manager after promoting Su Xiao. But they haven’t started the procedure yet. Helen pulled strings. What else? She says that you’re always against her. I see. Helen’s style of work is very problematic. Keep a close eye on her. Tell me if anything happens. Is that it? Nothing else.
Helen, what’s wrong with your ankle? I sprained it. I have a bottle of Loong Foo Oil from Singapore. I bought it last time I was there. Rub it on the ankle and you’ll be fine. I’m okay, Liu. Don’t worry about it. Here. You’re welcome. How can you forget such a small thing?
You’re daydreaming every day. Why aren’t you apologizing to Manager Su? Well… Su Xiao. Wait. What did you call her? You should call her Manager Su. Sorry, Manager Su. On Friday, I forgot to tell you to take a day off. It’s my fault. Don’t be angry. It’s okay. Sorry, Su Xiao.
That was a big misunderstanding. Later on, I’ll host an induction ceremony for you. It’s okay, Director Chen. We’ve known each other so well. There’s no need to introduce me. Alright. Sit down. Let’s do a small ceremony then. Let’s officially welcome Su Xiao, who becomes the manager of the business contract department.
Also, let’s congratulate Yu Can on becoming the cost manager. Thank you, Director Chen. Good job, bro. What’s wrong, Manager Su? Director Chen, the audit team from the group is here. Mr. Wang is looking for you. I’ll go out now. Let’s carry on with the meeting later on.
Su Xiao, what’s wrong with Director Chen? Why is he so angry? He’s not seriously angry. He is setting the rules. What rules? You chief housekeeper. Are you cultivating? Cultivating? I was about to slack off when I was forced to come back for you. You can slack off whenever you want at my place.
I won’t mind. You may not mind, but the president does. We used to be like a family. Can we be gentle and kind? Do we have to disown each other? That hurts so much. Don’t say it like that. I can really understand him. Who doesn’t want to make this company stronger and bigger?
Right? In the past six months, the revenue figures of TC Construction look very good. If you go on like this, consider that I’m clearing all obstacles and potential troubles for you. Don’t put yourself so low. I’m not worthy. You’re the designated inspector. I should pay respect to you. Don’t do that.
You just need to cooperate with me. Cooperate? When did I ever not do that? It’s just that I’m not good at managing. I can’t pass the test if you pick on me. Managing ability isn’t a big problem. It’s not a matter of principle or direction. We can fix it.
Although Xu Feng is no longer the leader of the team, the president gave instructions that we need to follow his audit plans. Mr. Xu. Mr. Wang. Sit over here, Chen. Let’s properly chat with Mr. Xu about the plan of the audit. Come here. I plan to use the defect of this crooked wall
As an element in our design. As a whole, these walls can be painted with of lines, creating a feeling of distorted space. Do you mean an effect like this? Yes, that’s the effect. But I think it’s a bit too complicated now. It may make people feel dizzy. Just a minute.
No matter what, I think the painting needs to bring out the photographer’s work. Look. What I’m thinking about is something more dreamlike. For example, maybe we can use a white background and black lines to bring out his work. Then… Look. If the work is positioned here, I hope the drawings around it
Are three-dimensional. OK. In that case, we can bring out the work. Then it’s won’t just stay on one plane but become more lively. Then, you can… It depends on the elements you use. But you need to use some here. You can repeat all kinds of elements. I’m sorry. I have an appointment tonight.
I’ll buy you dinner another time. It’s okay. I hope that helping me doesn’t affect your work. Of course not. A lot of mushrooms from Yunnan province were sent to my place not long ago. It’s just me and my dad at home. We can’t finish eating them. These days,
Bring your uncle to my place. Alright. I mean it. I mean it, too. OK. Because my dad says that I’m overly independent, I want to change myself. You can bring your girlfriend, too. I can’t let my uncle know that I have a girlfriend. Is it because she’s pretty?
You can also bring her alone. I can be your adviser. You’re welcome anytime. I don’t mean that. I’m just saying that not many people come to visit. When they do, it’s for business. So, I want the atmosphere to be more lively. Would you mind that? Also, I think you’re very nice.
My dad will surely welcome my guest visiting our place. But I’m not requiring you to do that. Come on. You make me feel that I said something wrong. No. You didn’t say anything wrong. It’s just that I’m normally overwhelmed in my world, not considering others’ feelings. You’ve helped me a lot.
I want to thank you. Then pay for the petrol. OK. Come in. Su Xiao. Have a seat. What’s wrong? We’re not strangers. Director Chen, you should’ve told me in advance before promoting Yu Can to the cost manager, right? Is that it? Yes, I forgot about it. I’ve always doubled in brass
As the manager of the business contract department. I’m used to it and didn’t think twice. I will surely ask for your opinion in the future. I think Yu Can isn’t the right person for this position. Not the right person? Why? I think he is the perfect person. If you think he is,
You must have a reason. Maybe I haven’t known him enough. There’s no rush. Take your time. Many project managers even said that you’re not the right person for the manager of the business department. I told them the same thing. I said that they don’t know Su Xiao. Thanks, Director Chen.
I’ll go back to work. OK. Work hard. Don’t you dare! Lu. Just in time. Manager Su. Well… Do you have the report on the monthly operations of the art museum? Yes. I just reported it to Director Chen. According to the workflow, you need to report to me first. Sorry, I’m used to it.
Alright, I’ll take care of it next time. Donglin. The art museum is withdrawing too much from the fund this month. Send it back and tell them to make a new one. But Mr. Dong told Director Chen about it. Director Chen agreed. Look. I… Director Chen, you recruited me into TC Construction.
And trained me to be the manager of the business contract department step by step. I haven’t done this job for long. I was unfamiliar with business and added much trouble to your work. You’re always devoted to teaching me. I’m really grateful to you. I trained you in person. Of course, I trust you
And I support you, right? I feel so ashamed when you say it like that. In this period, you still needed to take care of much substantive work. It’s okay. Everyone needs time. But I’m familiar with the workflow of the department now. I have made a new summary of the previous workflow.
Please take a look. Is there anything else I should add? It’s good. Nothing else. Then let’s follow the new workflow, shall we? It’s not a big deal. It’s your decision. Thank you for your support, Director Chen. I’ll return to work. OK. This is the new workflow. I’ve improved it from the previous one.
Take a look. If there’s anything you don’t understand or you don’t agree, you can tell me now. If not, I hope that you’ll strictly follow the new workflow and be more efficient. Read it carefully. Manager Su has been working hard. Don’t let her down. Anything else? No. Remember to finds more subjects
For a meeting in the future. Don’t just call a meeting because of trivia. It’s too inefficient. You’re dismissed. Should we really follow this procedure? Are you stupid? Remember. The business contract department only has one boss. Peter. It’s still about the president’s assistant. Please find more candidates for me. It can’t be. I…
It’s alright. I see. Just come here when you finish. That’s it for now. The kid will report to me. I’ll wait for you. Bye-bye. Come in. What’s wrong? Nothing. Maria, I’d like to ask if you’ve hired an assistant for the president? Yeah. Why didn’t I know about this? I forgot to tell you.
So? What’s the problem? Nothing. It’s great. Bei, how long have you been waiting? Not long. I didn’t play much before you came here. Why are you picking me up all of a sudden? About that. A client needed some testing today and my company sent me here. It’s close to your workplace.
So I came to pick you up from work. Thank god you’re here. I’ve been depressed for a whole day. What’s wrong? Did you get scolded again? It’s good to get scolded. At least that means you still exist. I just realized today that I’ve been in the company for four years
But I’m still a nobody. It’s like I don’t exist. Tell me. What’s wrong? I am the one in charge of recruiting. I still have to hear the news that the president’s assistant is recruited from a headhunter. Then I went to ask Maria. Maria just said that she forgot to tell me.
Isn’t it hilarious? Am I really such a nobody? Is it so easy to forget me? But it’s not a big deal. Don’t overthink. Is it not big enough? I thought about it. I think Maria just can’t notice me at all. No matter how hard I work, she doesn’t notice me.
Should I change my job? Don’t do that. Why do you want to do that? It doesn’t matter to be a nobody. When you don’t have good chances, you also don’t have to take the blame. Right? Look at me. I’m too important at the moment. I’d rather be a nobody. The client
Appointed me today. There’re so many staff doing nothing in the company. Isn’t it nice to drink tea and gossip? I’m outside suffering from cold and hunger. For real. You’re a woman. Just have a stable job. Don’t have any career pursuits. Two female programmers in my company are both over 30 years old now.
They work overtime more than men and always talk about career pursuit. They’re still single. I’m not talking about career pursuits. I just feel that I’ve been in the company for four years. I can’t just live with no promotion, right? There’re benefits in not getting promoted. There’ll be more trouble if you’re promoted.
If we have a child one day, who will take care of it if you’re busy all day? Yeah. I think your words make sense. Of course, they make sense. A woman needs a job and that’s it. We men are responsible for earning money and providing for the family. What’s wrong?
Don’t take the underground. Let’s take the bus. It’s cheaper. [Compliance and Protocols of Business Contract Department] 189. 190. 191. 192. 193. 194. 195. 196. 197. 198. 199. 200. 201. 202. 203. 204. 205. 206. 207. 208. 209. Lilin, it’s been years since you wore this chain.
Before, if you wear a gold chain and go out, people would say that you’re so rich. It’s different nowadays. If you wear a gold chain now, you’re dowdy. When you have time, talk to me more. Sit. You have no idea how much I wanted to. But you’re busy.
I tried three days before arranging today’s meeting with Ms. Tang. Right, Ms. Tang? The other day, you told Xia Ming about this gold chain. I took it out from the safe deposit box once I went back. It’s 24K gold and strong. The color won’t fade however much you wear it. It was our
First big project. Yeah. I also think of it as my heritage. I’m glad you think like that. Don’t forget to wear it from time to time. If someone says you’re dowdy, they know nothing. You’re right. I’ve told Yongbo to return the money. Thank you for giving us a way out.
I thought about it after I went back home. Over the years, I have been a bit arrogant indeed. You not only forgive me but also promote Xia Ming. I’m truly grateful to you, president. I totally trust you with my nephew. Xia Ming is a talent. Don’t worry. I will train him well. Then,
Thank you, president. Come on. I’ll go now and leave you to it. It’s still early. Let’s find a chance to have a proper chat next time. OK. Bye. President, Xia Ming is here. He doesn’t have an appointment. Do you want to meet him? Let’s do it like this. Tang, show Manager Huang out
From Mr. Xu’s office first and tell Xia Ming to come in. OK. Tang. This way, Director Xia. President. I guess you’ve decided. I will have to let you down, president. Why? My father is a professor in the Department of Chinese Language and Literature. My mother is a surgeon. Nobody understood
Why I chose the Department of Civil Engineering in university. It’s because of my uncle. When I was a kid, my parents were busy at work. No one stayed with me except my uncle. We went to the park, to the children’s hall and attended parent’s meetings. I grew up with my uncle.
Later on, when I was in middle school… Thanks. He suddenly became very busy. Every time he got off work from the construction site, he was tired and his face was covered in mud. But whenever he mentioned Yinghai Group, he always had high morale. He said that his work is really enjoyable
And he can change the world with brick and concrete. That’s when I started to be interested in architecture. Also, I want to help him and make him less tired. President, My uncle has devoted everything to TK Construction. I believe that you understand this. I do. That’s why I allowed him much freedom
And tolerated his mistakes. After all, his mistakes are not small. Yes. Thank you for being forgiving. TK Construction is always part of the group. TK Construction is such a small platform. You can’t shine in it. Listen to me and join the group. True talent can create a platform of his own.
It’s like what you did. No one gave you the platform. I agree with it. How do you plan to create a platform? I’m working on a big project. All Stars. You’re well-informed, president. It’s a good project. the EPC company is working on it. The group has decided to fully support the EPC company.
Do you think the resource you have can match that of the EPC company? Of course, no. But I can use this. Good. If you’re the successful bidder of the All Stars Project, I’ll forget about the audit. Otherwise, you still need to join the group. Thank you, president. Uncle. Why are you here?
I even put on the gold chain. Why did you come here? You shouldn’t have come. It’s also unnecessary to humble yourself in front of him. Of course, I have to come. If I didn’t humble myself and apologize, we can never solve it, right? I’ve agreed with him on everything.
You should join the group. But you’re here now. It’s endless. If I wanted to become a senior in a company, I wouldn’t have joined TK Construction. I just don’t want to see that your fate is controlled by others. Don’t worry. When I win the bidding on the All Stars Project,
We will have the leverage to negotiate with him. How sure you are to win the bidding? Zero percent. You brat. You piss me so much. Don’t be angry. Take it easy. Do you know how high my blood pressure is? What did you find? Look. The quantities don’t match. Right? True.
I’ll ask Chen Siming about it now. Let’s ask Mr. Xu first. Instructions? Why do we need instructions? We need to know if we should carry on. Of course. Mr. Xu told us to investigate strictly. Don’t just listen to what he says. You need to see what he does.
When Xu Feng was in the team, he worked at TK Construction every day. How many times did Mr. Xu visit? Also, is there any subsidiary that doesn’t play with numbers? Mr. Xu isn’t new here. Do you think he doesn’t know? of the internal audit team. Why all he found out
Was just some trivia? Why? I don’t know the exact reason. Maybe he’s afraid of crossing someone. Think about it. When you make it difficult for others, they will surely do the same to you, right? Xu Feng is an example in real life. He used to be the president’s assistant.
Now he is relocated to a real estate company as a department manager. What a pity, right? Tell me, what can we do about it? Ask more and decide less. Apart from this, what else did you find? I… I have told you about all the other problems. It’s about poor management
Or trivia in the workflow. But this one is probably false subcontracting. How sure are you? It’s just my speculation. What do you plan to do next? I’m here to ask for your instructions on the next step. False subcontracting is a big deal. You have to be careful. Never rely on your first impressions.
Yes. Let’s do it like this. I have a meeting to attend later on. We can’t talk about it in detail. Go back now and figure it out. Find a time and report to me in detail. Alright, Mr. Xu. I’ll return to work now.
