Only by calming down can people come up with better solutions. Wang Wei’s poem reads: In the quiet environment, sweet-scented osmanthus blooms and falls; at night, the mountains seem to be empty. Well written. Both subjective mood and objective environment are involved. After you relax, the flower matures. After you calm down,
The whole mountain is yours. It’s not difficult to calm down. The key is that I can’t get the purpose of what Chen Kaiyi did. What you said shows that you still haven’t calmed down. Man proposes. People need to be positive. God disposes. We need to adapt to the situation. Why are these
Two contradictory sentences always mentioned together? Mr. Gu. I’m not in the mood to play riddles with you today. Please get to the point. Whether a thing is worth doing or not and whether a person is worth loving or not is all about plans. Plans are actually planning for people. The most important thing
Is to be out of true intention. What comes from the heart is stratagem, while what doesn’t is conspiracy. Only by calming down can he see accurately and have a long-term vision. The top priority now is to meet the editor-in-chief and start the acquisition of Blossom as soon as possible,
So as to avoid a long delay which may cause trouble. Are you teaching me to run business? Of course not. I just feel like it took us so long to lay out. We cannot make mistakes at the last minute. I just have a feeling that Chen Kaiyi will unlock an ultimate skill.
George is the Editor-in-chief. Chen Kaiyi is the Deputy Editor-in-chief. You are not afraid of George. Why are you afraid of Chen Kaiyi? What do I have to fear? She was promoted by me. Let me change the question. Did George’s death make you more afraid of Chen Kaiyi? George’s death was an accident.
I didn’t know his depression was so severe. He trusted you, so he told you that he had depression. The disease could make him leave the post at any time. When he told you this, it means that he entrusted his life to you. I know. So I persuaded him to stop sticking to
The ideals of journalism and media. Now is the last chance to cash out with the brand. As long as we can cash out, we can achieve financial independence. Otherwise, if we only rely on salary income, we will have to endure for a long time. The brand deal is a good deal.
I can also understand your desire to cash out. But your only wrong move is that you shouldn’t take George to the gambling table. If he didn’t come to the gambling table, he wouldn’t have died. He died of depression. He clearly knew that his symptoms were serious, why did he stop taking the medicine?
He stopped the medicine on his own. That’s because his most trusted friend in the world, you, shattered his ideals. I still remember when he said goodbye to me in Macau. My legs feel uncomfortable. I will go out for some fresh air. Let me send you off. Mr. Gu. I just have gout.
Go have fun. It’s stuffy inside. I’d like to get some fresh air. Everyone has bad luck. It’s okay. You lost so much. I feel sorry. What does this have to do with you? I heard Xiang Tingfeng say that you got the chips in the casino? I can handle with hundreds of thousands yuan.
One cannot easily borrow money, especially from casinos. Mr. Gu. I know clearly who to borrow money from. Thank you. Sorry for that. Actually, I’ve always been curious. We’ve met each other three times at the casino. You never gambled. Why? Since I was a child, I have believed that our luck is limited.
I can’t waste my luck on the casino, so I just watch other people gamble. Then why did you ask us to meet at the casino? My mother told me that character is inescapable at the gaming table. No matter how deeply a person usually hides himself, after gambling, especially after losing money,
He will reveal himself completely, as if he has no clothes on. Actually, I always believe that I’m living in a golden age of media. I should take my responsibility for this era. My ideal is to be an excellent media professional. Even though traditional media will gradually be replaced by new media,
I still think it is the medium of information spreading that has changed. The essence of my ideal should not change. I have known Xiang Tingfeng for over twenty years. He is my senior. I want to thank him because he taught me the way of media thinking. He’s my enlightener.
Over the past 20 years, I have worked with him on three media companies, until Blossom now. To be honest, I was averse to Blossom at first. I was not familiar with fashion and couldn’t make it. He told me that in fact, the essence of the media is the same,
All of which are to convey effective information and correct values to the world. What do you think? It really makes sense. He also encouraged me to move forward with my ideals and never back down. But today I think of what he said, and I find it ridiculous. Thirty-seven million
Is ace in the hole of all ideals. Xiang Tingfeng told me that no matter how Blossom would change hands, he wanted you to be the editor-in-chief. Being editor-in-chief or not doesn’t matter at all. Mr. Gu, we are not familiar with each other. It is abrupt of me to tell you so much today.
Sorry. Forgive me. But there’s a question I’ve always wanted to ask you. You are an investor. And when you negotiate with so-called big data and technical jargon at the negotiating table about buying and selling the Blossom brand, do you know what Blossom is? Answer me. What is Blossom? It’s a project.
Just a project. Yes. For you, Blossom is certainly a project. What else can it be? Right. Maybe sometimes I’m too sentimental. From what I know about Xiang Tingfeng, it is impossible for him to leverage such a large capital game. Who is behind the scenes? Is that you? You are the banker. That’s it.
So today I want to say something to you, something sincere. Even if you are the banker, you can’t take everything and format it with capital. Understand? Understand? Format with capital? I remember this. Mr. Gu. Goodbye. Nice to meet you. I didn’t know that you had this conversation before. You tricked George
Into borrowing money. He had no idea that he was borrowing usury. I was worried that he would reveal our plans ahead of time, especially to prevent Chen Kaiyi from knowing this. I met you in Hong Kong and we hit it off. I always thought you were a decent person. Why have you been
Playing tricks lately? He was right. 37 million. This is the ace in the hole for all ideals. Ideals? How much have we paid for our ideals? But what do we get in the end? I gave him a chance. But he would rather guard Blossom than cash it out and escape with me.
So I had to figure out a way to shut him up. It’s easy to shut him up. Just let the loan sharks keep chasing him. Why did you falsely accuse him of bribing public servants? It spread all over the city and the police was bubbling with noise. Weren’t you forcing him to die?
Mr. Gu. What do you mean? I just wanted to help you review it. These things are all over. Does it make sense to review? Let’s get to the point. What is your hunch for Chen Kaiyi? What do you think is the worst case scenario for us if Chen Kaiyi fights back?
The worst case is only for you, not me. Don’t often use the word “we”. The worst case scenario is that Chen Kaiyi takes back the initiative, stops fighting with Xiao Hongxue, and kicks you out. But as things stand, she doesn’t have the leverage to kick you out, unless… Unless what?
Unless she starts another game, and you’re not invited at all. Go ahead. Okay. Thank you. Sure. Chen Kaiyi’s in Paris. My hunch is pretty accurate. I have to go to Paris right away to get the brand acquisition done before her. Let’s keep in touch. I am leaving. Get out. You heard it all?
Yes. Did you understand? Yes. George committed suicide because of depression. But the reason for his bouts of depression was Xiang Tingfeng’s betrayal of their ideals. That’s all? What else? What I said to him just now is all for you. Man proposes and God disposes. Old pal. You are deliberately mystifying again. Xiang Tingfeng
Did not betray George. It’s just that he played a conspiracy, so it’s not decent. You can’t do this to Yan Kai. You can only use strategy, not conspiracy. Otherwise it’s the wrong path. Understand? What does 37 million means? You deserve to be Liu Jun’s daughter. You remember the numbers clearly.
What does it mean? Xiang Tingfeng heard from Anthony that the French headquarters would sell the brand’s right of management in China. Look at you. You don’t know anything about Blossom and you want to buy it. Blossom is all about magazines. So why are there so many buyers? The key is its brand,
And the right to use and manage. On the one hand, Xiang Tingfeng stabilized Anthony. On the other hand, he is actively selecting buyers. He chose a total of three buyers. The highest offer is 70 million and the lowest is 43 million. He laid out the situation for both the buyer and the seller.
But he lacks an investment and financing trader in the middle. So he met me at the Mandarin Hotel in Hong Kong. It’s no coincidence. For me, I have nothing to do. To buy the brand for 37 million and sell it at a high price, I don’t need to take any risk.
Why not do it? Understand? Low price in, high price out. It sounds no different from selling vegetables. That’s the essence of doing business. I sold watermelons decades ago. I bought a cart of watermelons for 2,000 yuan and sold them at 0.25 yuan/500g. After earning back the principal,
I sold the remaining watermelons for 1 yuan each. Business is that simple. Format with capital. Is that what killed George? Are you planning to tell Yan Kai everything? Do you really want to be with Yan Kai? Let’s taste tea. Chinese people are very particular about the word “taste”. The language programs
Of the Spring Festival Gala every year are cross talk and sketches. Why sketches? Why not a show? Or a drama? This deserves our serious consideration. If you don’t speak up, I’ll go back. Stay with me. Dad is waiting for me for dinner. Would you like to go back for dinner? No.
Then why are you asking me to sit here with you? Who are you investigating? No one. Did you figure out what happened to George? No. Now for something more severe. What? Did someone bully you? I seem to be in love with someone. What? Wait. I seem to be in love with someone.
But I’m not sure right now. So I don’t know if I love her or not. So you… Just… My gosh. I have to thank everyone. My brother is finally back. My brother is finally back. My gosh. I am so surprised. Who’s that girl? Do I know her? How is her family condition?
Listen, no problem. It doesn’t matter if she is poor. We are rich. As long as you like, whether you want the stars or the moon, you can get it. Liu Ziqi. Liu… Liu… Liu… Liu Ziqi? Yes. You have a good taste. This girl is amazing. Let me tell you. Our whole family together
Can’t beat my sister-in-law. Sister-in-law? She hasn’t agreed yet. I said I am not sure. Don’t call her like that. Look at you. Okay. Now I know why you came to me today. Let me give you an idea. And you can know it. How? What’s the idea? Just be together. This… No way.
What’s the matter? I’m serious. Men don’t understand themselves. You don’t know how bad you are. You can’t tell whether it’s love or desire to be in possession for a girl. The best way is to fall in love with her first on the premise of her consent. What a bad idea!
You are a woman. Poor sister’s love. I told you everything. Yes. Right. I have to call my sister-in-law and ask her to come over for tea. Don’t… We just had a fight this morning. Fight? Morning? You… How did you have a fight this morning. She stayed with me yesterday. [Paris 20 p.m Friday]
Hello, Mr. Anthony. My name is Chen Kaiyi. Kaiyi, why are you here? I am here for you. If I remember correctly, you come here every Friday night for dinner and jazz. Why don’t you come to the company to find me during working hours? Now is private time.
Because what I am going to talk to you cannot be known to anyone in the company for the time being. But I don’t want to ruin this weekend night. I’m sure 100 million dollars won’t ruin any weekend. Kaiyi, you are a genius. You are just like this era, full of whimsy in business
And desire for the future. I am very optimistic about your plan. Thank you, Mr. Anthony. Could you please let me talk to Ms. Xiao alone? They all knew. What? I told them. So Ms. Xiao asked all of us here. My friend at headquarters called me and told me that
Chen Kaiyi went to Paris. How did your friend know that? He didn’t know at first. But now everyone knows. Because Chen Kaiyi kidnapped Anthony. Kidnapped? Yes. Yesterday, Anthony’s assistant called me to tell me that he got on the plane, and the person with him was Chen Kaiyi. During the day on Friday,
Anthony had no travel plans, nor did he arrange to meet Chen Kaiyi. But a weekend later, he and Chen Kaiyi got on the plane on Monday. Isn’t this called kidnap? Where is she? It’s a direct flight to Shanghai. I know. I’m asking where Chen Kaiyi is now. No one knows?
Did you meet Anthony in Paris? Can anyone answer my question? I will ask my friends in Shanghai. So will I. Great. Finally someone understood my question. Please ask and tell me where Chen Kaiyi is now. And, could you leave me and Ms. Xiao Hongxue alone? – Yes. – Yes. Ms. Xiao. Qin Min.
Stay. Can I trust her? Of course you can. Qin Min. Can I trust you? I’d better go out. Please answer my question directly. I will do nothing against Xiao Hongxue’s interests. That’s enough. Please take a seat. Did you meet Anthony in Paris? I didn’t meet him. Why?
He said he wanted to spend the weekend with his family, so he didn’t meet me. This must be Chen Kaiyi’s idea. How is your relationship with Cai Fei? Not bad. Who has a good relationship with her? Li Na. How is your relationship with Li Na? Much worse.
You don’t have a good relationship with anyone. So useless. I have a good relationship with Chen Mo. You are useless at the critical moment. Boss. What critical moment? Something is going to happen. Boss. Listen to me. Stop working. Go to Xiao Hongxue’s office immediately and wait. Am I going to eavesdrop?
How could you eavesdrop? Build good relations with Cai Fei and Li Na as soon as possible. I want to know any actions of Xiao Hongxue in the first place. Boss. It’s not easy to handle them. If you can’t deal with them, you are done. Done? There is no such precedent. I don’t care
About precedent. I want to see how. I only care about the result. You are now asking me to fire Chen Kaiyi for no reason. I am the chief publisher. What’s wrong with me firing a Deputy Editor-in-chief? Is she just a Deputy Editor-in-chief? You should be well aware of her status in the industry.
I don’t care about her status. I don’t want your question either. I want you to come up with a solution. Didn’t she have a problem with the accounts before? With that… Hongxue, the name of him is… Lei Qitai. Yes, Lei Qitai. Du Xia has already drawn conclusions about the accounts.
All bills are complete, reasonable and legal. Even if there are rebates or gray deal in the middle, it is the problem of that consulting firm and has nothing to do with us. But why do we use that consulting firm? Why is their offer higher than the market price? Moreover, who was the person
To sign the contracts? George. From beginning to end, Chen Kaiyi never signed any contract. Great. Even a dead man is helping her. Mr. Xiang. Now is not the time to lose your temper. I am not losing my temper. Now I just want to find a way to fire Chen Kaiyi.
Let’s do this, Qin Min. Call your HR colleagues for a meeting within twenty minutes. Give me a reason that can be announced to the public, as long as it is reasonable. I want to fire Chen Kaiyi. I cannot make it. So after all, you are still in favor of Chen Kaiyi.
I can’t bet my professional credibility just because of your whim. Please forgive me. If you don’t fire her, I will fire you. Mr. Xiang, are you crazy? What are you doing? Do you know what time it is? Even in the moment of survival or extinction, we can’t mess around.
If we don’t fire Chen Kaiyi, she will fire us. How? She got on the same plane as Anthony. When was the last time you traveled with Anthony? Let alone you, I’ve been by Anthony’s side for so many years, not once! To be frank, he rarely leaves Paris, let alone
Taking a flight of over ten hours to China. What does that mean? It means that Chen Kaiyi must impress him with something and make him willing to leave Paris and take a flight of over ten hours. As far as I know, there is only one thing in this world that can impress Anthony,
And that is money. If she impressed Anthony, Anthony is already on her side. Does it make sense for you to fire her now? But I don’t believe she can really control Anthony in such a short amount of time. So I need to buy time. I need HR to give me a reasonable reason
To fire her. I have to act first and report afterwards. Only in this way can I have the time and opportunity to mediate with the board. That’s it. You are really crazy. It looks like a Monet painting outside. Monet’s paintings are much more melancholy than this. Chinese people’s courtyard scenery
Is elegant and bright, enabling us to forget the cruelty and worries in real life. Wouldn’t it be ironic for me to meet with the richest internet company president and talk about money in this view? We’re talking about the future, not money. It’s almost time. He should be here.
Let the world have no difficult business. This is simply a whisper of love that can only be said by the smartest talent in the business war. Ms. Xiao, in this case, I can only resign from you. Mr. Xiang doesn’t mean that. That’s what I meant. Don’t go too far.
Only at this time can you truly see the public attitude for or against. She will help you now or never. I now approve your resignation as chief publisher. Have someone from your department complete the resignation report and process. The only thing you have to do now
Is to notify HR to come to hold a meeting. I neither approve nor agree. You have to listen to me now. I said you can never control me. If you insist on doing this, I will go back to Hong Kong. There is no place for you in Hong Kong.
Do you think we still have a way out? If we have no way out, we can make a living by ourselves. Ms. Xiao. You don’t have to argue anymore. Anyway, I’ll leave Blossom today. Thank you for your care and trust in me lately. But you betrayed that trust. Mr. Xiang.
I don’t think I have betrayed Ms. Xiao’s trust. But I’m sure that you’ve betrayed George’s trust in you. That day, I took someone to the rooftop to inspect and burn the puppet that fell from the rooftop. You fell to the ground in fright that day and have lost all my respect for you.
At that time, I was thinking that even if the puppet is burned, there is something deep down that will never be erased in this life. Do you think I am right? Out. Sister. Ms. Xiao. I just heard that Mr. Xiang called everyone of HR Department in the meeting room
To discuss what name to use to fire Chen Kaiyi. What does he mean? He is the chief publisher. But Kaiyi is on annual leave now. Does he have to be in such a hurry? Can’t he wait for her to come back? He went too far. Qin Min just resigned. What?
Are you also here to resign? If not, can you leave me alone for a while?
