[English subtitles are available.] [The Ideal City] [This is a work of fiction.] [Ep29] Uncle. When a normal person gets a stroke, they will feel extreme suffering. They can neither talk or walk properly. They need some time to adjust. During this time, they need company and comfort from family.
He can’t be agitated in any way. Or he’ll get another stroke. I see. Thank you, Doc. Sorry. I didn’t know it’d become like this. If I had known, I wouldn’t have come. Take care of your uncle. I’ll go back. He hates you that much? I have no idea.
What did you do to him? It’s okay if they suspect me. You can’t suspect me! What could’ve I possibly done? What do you think I could’ve done? Xiao. He got a stroke and can’t get out of bed. Does that mean I did something to him? What’s wrong with this world? Xiao. Xiao.
I am sorry. I misspoke. I wasn’t suspecting you. Xiao. Open the door, will you? You know me. I never think before I speak. I didn’t mean that. Xiao. Xiao. Xiao. I am sorry, Xiao. Xiao. Xiao. You’re making me worried. Xiao. Xiao. Xiao. I really didn’t mean that. Trust me. I… Xiao. Sorry. Xiao.
Xiao. Xiao, don’t cry. You’re… If you… Xiao. Sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you. I… Sorry, Xiao. Xiao. I am sorry. I wasn’t suspecting you. I was just… I misspoke. I didn’t mean that. Trust me, okay? Xiao. Sorry. I didn’t mean that. Xiao. It’s okay, Hongmei. It wasn’t your fault. I am sorry.
I am just feeling down. If I had done something, I would’ve admitted it. But I didn’t do anything. How did I end up being universally condemned? Sorry, Xiao. I owe you an apology, not for anything else, but that I just realized how much pressure you’ve been under. I am your friend.
But I didn’t even realize it until just now. I am sincerely sorry. That’s enough. Wang Yang. What happened? What? Answer me this. The post about data not lying in the BBS… What was that about? We made a deal that we were on the same boat. But you stabbed us in the back.
They sent the post themselves. I had nothing to do with it. Why didn’t you stop them? Like they’d tell me about it. It was already sent when I knew. Stop lying to us! Why would I lie to you? It’s not a big deal! What? Not a big deal? Our entire effort
Went down the drain because of the post. Tell you what. If we don’t get rid of that young lady, the Group will conduct a thorough investigation. All the accounts will be made public. We won’t be able to have any kickbacks. He’s right. That’s enough. I don’t think Wang Yang is
Someone who can’t see the big picture. But, Wang Yang, I’ll be upfront with you. If anything happens to you, let us know. What could possibly happen? I am here, aren’t I? Let’s go. He. Call your friend to bring us in. Look at him… That’s enough. Let’s go. Thank you for visiting my uncle.
I will tell him when he wakes up. I was too busy yesterday. So I didn’t have time to come here. Sorry. It’s alright. Mr. Wang told me. My uncle is stable for now. You don’t have to worry. You don’t have to be so formal with us. Your uncle and us,
We’ve been bros for almost twenty years. Rest assured. We will seek justice for him. Thank you in advance. But, I think I’ll talk to the Group when he gets better. Maybe I will need your help then. That’s too late. The Group wants to stall till your uncle recovers.
Then they can make the whole thing go away. They won’t have to punish that girl anymore. Then, we will have to give back all the money we owed. How are you not seeing that? Wei is right. Right now, the Group is watching how this goes. After a while, it’ll be old news.
The Group won’t be able to help us. Yes. Okay. I will talk to him when he wakes up tomorrow. Okay. We’ll leave you to it. Thank you. I didn’t expect Xia Ming to be a coward. No, he’s just vigilant. He’s worried about being used by us. We’re helping him! How ungrateful!
Are we gonna wait till he asks Huang Lilin? No. It’ll be too late. Well. We’ll stick to our plan. Guys, are you down? Yeah. Worst comes to worst, we can resign together. Great. To what do I owe this pleasure? I rarely see all of you in meetings.
But now, you’re here at the same time. Let’s go to my office. Come on in! Have a seat. Make yourself comfortable. Would you like some tea? No, thanks. Mr. Wang. We came together today to speak our minds directly. We want to ask you if you’ll do something about Su Xiao
Mistreating a senior employee. Yes, of course. Well. The executives are discussing a plan. Still? A plan for what? He’s staying in the hospital as we speak. The undeniable truth is right before our eyes. What’s there to discuss? After all, we are senior employees of the Group. We’ve been by Mr. Zhao’s side
For almost 20 years. We’ve been through hell together. We might not have made major achievements. But at least we were dedicated. It’s so heartbreaking to see you do this. Come on. Yes, heartbreaking, indeed. Guys, calm down. We trust Mr. Wang. And we trust Mr. Zhao. Yeah. Be more understanding of him.
He’s in a conundrum. On the one hand, it’s the veterans who’ve fought with him. On the other hand, it’s the new talent he’s cultivated. How could we be the same? About that… It’s hard to say. Huang Lilin has always been unwell. He’s got the “Three Highs.” You all know about it.
How did he get the “Three Highs” though? He can drink the most in the Group. He’s the one who made deals with the tough house owners at those dinner parties. He got the “Three Highs” because of the Group. Come on. Don’t get me wrong. I am not invalidating his contributions to the Group.
It’s just… I was just talking about this case. The case is that we, as senior employees, are heartbroken. And yet you’re still weighing who’s more valuable. You are all leaders of your companies. The Group has been treating you well. Why can’t you make peace with the idea of her getting promoted?
Okay, Mr. Wang. Now we know where you stand. Well. We won’t put you on the spot. We’re old. We’ll make room for the rising star. [Resignation Letter] I tried my best to convince them. But they wouldn’t listen to me. They were convinced that the Group is indulging the newcomer to mistreat the senior
And being ruthless. Ruthless? They think they’re veterans and made contributions, so they can cash in on them and never make progress. And they’re accusing us of being ruthless? Countless businesses failed because of people like them! Why did I promote Su Xiao? Some don’t understand it. Some don’t like it. They think their territory
Has been invaded. I hope you can put aside your personal interests and see this from the long-term perspective. Think about what’s best for the Group’s future! I am 50 years old. Among us, the oldest should be Mr. Hu, who’s 56, right? 56 years old. How many years can he work for the Group?
Ten years at most. Ten years later, who’s gonna replace him? Ten years later, who’s gonna replace me? Mingyu. I’ll leave you to deal with this. [The Program of Debt to Loan] Hello, Ms. Tang. I am Su Xiao. May I ask if Mr. Zhao is available today?
I want to report to him on my work. His schedule for today is full. What about tomorrow? Also full. The day after? Sorry, Ms. Su. His schedule for the whole week is full. Okay, I see. He’s giving up. He’s giving up on me. Xiao. Don’t jump to conclusions.
If he’s giving up on you, he will hire another deputy chief financial manager. I haven’t heard anything about it yet. Maybe he was worried that you’d tell me, so he didn’t tell you. I don’t think so. But you can’t just sit here and do nothing. You need to come up with a plan.
A plan? What plan? I kept dreaming last night. In the dream, I was running and surrounded by darkness. I couldn’t see ahead. I wanted to get out. So, I tried to scream. I was scared. But however hard I tried, I couldn’t make a sound. Do you know that feeling? I think
I’ve put myself in a desperate situation. If Mr. Zhao gave up on me, I’d be out of the game for sure. What? Did Maria ask you to hire someone? No. [Chief Financial Manager] Maria told me to keep it from you. I see. You won’t tell Su Xiao, will you? At that moment,
The four of us slammed the resignation letters down on the table. Wang Mingyu looked like there was an egg on his face. It was amazing. Fattie, I wish you were there. It felt great. Huang, take care of yourself. Don’t worry! We will seek justice for you. Yeah. We’re here.
We won’t allow them to mistreat you. Yeah. You just focus on getting better. Wang Yang. It’s good that you’re here, so I don’t have to come to you tomorrow. Look at yourself. Why are you messing around with them? I’m too busy to mess around. I am being serious. So stubborn.
Mr. Zhao had stared at your letter for a long time and went furious. If you really got under his skin, and he accepted your resignation, then what? I am just a no-good manager. It’s okay if he accepted it. Nonsense. You established TC from scratch. If you’re gone, others will have it for nothing.
Do you have the heart to leave it behind? Don’t fool yourself. What can I say about you? Why don’t you think it through? Is your relationship with Mr. Zhao the same as theirs? Mr. Zhao owed you big time by promoting Su Xiao. If you keep it to yourself,
He will compensate you in the future. Now what? Your shenanigans have broken his heart. There goes your camaraderie of all these years. Camaraderie, my ass! I don’t care about any of that now. Enough with the verbal impulse! Take it back. Take it back! I will bring her back to you.
What do you mean? Now you’re playing dumb? You’re holding a grudge against Mr. Zhao because he poached her, right? I’ll bring her back to you. Alright. I’ll go check on Huang Lilin. Come to my place if you’re free tonight. My wife will make some dumplings, and we can have a drink.
See you, Mr. Wang. See you, Mr. Wang. Okay. Let’s go. Let’s go. I’ll cut to the chase. Wang Yang and the gang’s trick irritated Mr. Zhao. I only heard about it half an hour ago. Mr. Zhao is, in fact, a man who values camaraderie. After your uncle got sick,
He left an important conference without hesitation and got back earlier. He went straight to the hospital from the airport. Also, your uncle has been taking advantage of the gray areas, Mr. Zhao was angry. But he always let him off after scolding him. So, Xia Ming, enough is as good as a feast.
If you overreach, you’ll ruin the camaraderie. Once the camaraderie is gone, it will never come back. Mr. Wang. I seriously didn’t know anything about the resignation letter. I’ve been looking after my uncle these days in the hospital. My mind was preoccupied. Besides, Mr. Zhao told me after visiting my uncle
That he’ll give us a solution. I trust Mr. Zhao. It’s good that you can think this way. The executives asked me to deal with this matter. What’s your demand? That it’s handled fair and just. That’s for sure. Give me something more specific. I’ve not thought about it yet.
When I was on the way here, I thought about two things. First. You don’t have to pay the 8 million. Second. We’ll demote Su Xiao. Demote her? Yes. Demote her. She’ll go back where she came from. She was promoted by Mr. Zhao himself. So, I have to consider that. Besides,
It was only your uncle and her there. Nobody saw what truly happened. We can’t say for sure who’s right. Does that come from Mr. Zhao? No. I’m just asking for your opinion. Okay. I’ll talk to my uncle. Uncle, if Wang Yang and the gang come again, whatever they say, just ignore them.
It’s true that they want to seek justice for you. But they’re also being selfish. They wanna tie in with us and ask the Group for profits. [What did Wang Mingyu say?] He mentioned two things. We don’t have to pay the 8 million. And Su Xiao will be demoted. [Fire Su] Calm down.
Just hear me out, alright? Think about it. The deputy chief financial manager oversees the main business, controlling the budget, contracts, and risk management of the projects in the real estate and the construction sector. It’s an essential position, and yet Zhao offered it to a newcomer. This means
He can’t find anyone capable around him. Or, maybe the veterans don’t listen to him anymore, and he had to promote a newbie. Zhao wants to control the main business. Wang Mingyu and Lin Xiaomin won’t like that for sure. So, for those guys at the Group, when Su Xiao was promoted,
She took a slice of the corporate cake. They want to take the opportunity to get rid of her. We should choose money over her. Keep Su Xiao where she is. Then, the Group will be in chaos. If they’re in chaos, they won’t have time to interfere with us. Then, we can
Take our time to do our own business. [It’s either Su or me.] When I went to the hospital, Wang Yang and the gang were there. So, they did come up with the resignation plan together. They are all becoming outlaws! I think so, too. When this is over, should we teach them a lesson?
Them, among many others! The others are alright. It’s just those four. They are too bold. I wonder where they got the courage. What did they ask for? I didn’t talk to them. I talked directly to Xia Ming. And he asked us to stand on the moral high ground. He said he wanted nothing
But this to be dealt with fair and just. I offered him two things, too, to sound him out. First, they don’t have to pay the 8 million yuan. Second, we will demote Su Xiao. He seemed fine with the 8 million. But he didn’t like the idea of demoting Su Xiao.
Judging by his attitude, I think he wanted us to fire her. I told him that it’s not gonna happen. Stop acting crazy! This is a hospital. Don’t you know that the patients are resting? Have you no manners at all? [How’ve you been?] [I’m alright.]
[I’m good. Take care of yourself. Don’t worry about me.] [I’ve been thinking about you lately. But I’ve been too busy to call you.] [I know. You’ve got a lot going on. I wish I could help. How’s your uncle?]
[I was so worried that he won’t wake up. But he’s getting better. He’s like a child when he gets sick. Always throwing a tantrum.] [It’s good that he’s getting better. Try to be more considerate. There’s always hope as long as we’re not hitting the bottom.] [Yeah, let’s hope for the best.] Mr. Cui.
You’re here. You came so early. It’s not early. I got up at 5 AM this morning, and arrived at the hospital by 7.30 AM. I was wondering if I’ve been acting too nice lately that you’ve started not to take me seriously. Sorry, Mr. Cui. We’re trying hard to get the money.
Can you give us a couple more days? So, I do look like a nice fella now. Don’t you think that I know? You gave your money to those subcontractors. So, you’ve got money for them, but not for me? Do you think I’m plain stupid? Mr. Cui. This is only temporary.
After we get paid by the end of the month, we’ll be able to pay you back. You’re saying that I have to wait till the end of the month. I was being nice for your uncle’s sake and gave you three more days. Are you playing me for a fool?
I don’t think your uncle told you what I am like. Uncle. Fattie, let go of me. Uncle, don’t mind us. Let go! I’ve shown mercy to you guys. Yes. But your nephew didn’t take me seriously. Let go of me. What are you doing? Uncle, get up! Don’t do this! Get up! Uncle!
Mr. Cui. Mr. Cui. He’s too young. This is not his fault. Alright. Fattie. Get up already! Get up! It’s all my fault. Fattie, what are you doing? Come on. Get up! Fattie. Alright. He is too young. I’ll give him two more days for your sake. Come on. Stop talking. Thank you.
I can’t even hear you clearly. Mr. Cui. Tell you what. Two days, and that’s it. Thank you, Mr. Cui. If you don’t have the money in two days… Fattie. You know what I am like. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It’s alright. It’s alright.
