Huh? Well. After I meet Mr. Li later and finish introducing myself, should I ask for
his WhatsApp immediately? Don’t force it. Look for opportunities,
play some games with him first. Get a feel for his style. How do I do that? Judge by his playing style. See if he’s offensive or defensive. I thought you could play? You must know more than me. What should I do if he’s offensive? And what if he’s defensive? Should I deliberately lose to him? When Ya took me to
play with Director Kang, we had to intentionally lose. But they saw through it. If Mr. Li notices, wouldn’t that be bad? But if I win, he… he might get angry. You’re nervous? I… I just don’t want to mess this up. Hu Manli, tell me what I should do. Xue Xiaozhou. Right now, you’re the boss. You need to lead me forward. I know. But I just feel like I’m not quite ready. When it comes to family office,’ I’m not ready either. You need to believe in yourself. If you’re an eagle,
you must spread your wings and soar. If not, you’re just a canary. Wait. Can you stop using these
cheesy metaphors all the time? Then you’re a little chicken, alright? Don’t quibble with me. Straighten your back. Director Xue. Shan, hello. Li Shan, do you still remember me? You are… Hu Manli. Why are you here? I’m now Director Xue’s assistant. Please take good care of me today. Okay. Let’s go then. Yes. You’ve been very busy lately,
haven’t you? Haven’t seen you for a long time. Have been dealing with
some messy family matters. Sorting things out. Haven’t been out. When you stay in too long,
you become lazy。 Mr. Gu, hello. Shan. Hello. What brings you here today? Came to introduce you to a new friend. Xue Xiaozhou, head of TSI’s Family Office. What? Head of TSI’s Family Office. Mr. Gu, Chairman of
the Chamber of Commerce. Also captain of the Wolf Tennis Team. What wolf? Now it’s rabbit only. Mr. Gu, hello. Xue Xiaozhou. I see. So Mr. Li isn’t here, right? Mr. Li? Which Mr. Li? I see now. It seems your visit today has other purposes. You’re here for Li Fendou, aren’t you? Let me tell you. This Li Fendou has finally come around today and started working on
family wealth inheritance. I told him two years ago. He only has one daughter. I told him you’d better get started. But this country bumpkin told me he said company money
is his personal money. Why make things so complicated? Stupid, right? But now? Not only is he doing it, but I’ve heard he’s also making a huge fuss about it. Already changed several companies. None satisfied him. Don’t call him country bumpkin. Either he doesn’t do it, but when he does, he’s quite particular. By the way, Mr. Li probably won’t come today. So your trip might be in vain. How could it be in vain? Director Xue is actually here to exchange skills with you today. Really? Yes. I’d like to play a match with Mr. Gu. You can play too? Director Xue was the president of
Fudan University’s tennis club in college. – Really?- No. Okay then, let’s have a good match. It’s been a while since I last played. You warm up first. I’ll go change. Okay. We’ll play in a bit. You’ve met your match today. Finally got a worthy opponent. Nice shot. Great shot. Really good. Tricky one. This is a good one. Yes, not bad. Not bad. Great shot. Getting there. Yes. Good shot. Not bad. Indeed. Started slow then picked up. Director Xue is quite skilled. No wonder he’s so young and Ms. Li always supports him. Thanks to your whole family. Hurry up and lose. Why play so seriously, really. Good. Good. Great shot. What a pity. Just a bit short. Out of stamina. Sorry about that, Mr. Gu. Just some amateur skills. But still won this time. Mr. Gu. You went easy on me. Here, hydrate. No need, I have mine. Better keep moving. Don’t just admire others’ skills. Without practice, you’ll never catch up. Can’t keep up physically. You’re pretty good. Last time I saw you running. Not many can beat me. You’re one of them. Alright.. Mr. Gu. Gu’s done playing. That racket. See you next time. Goodbye. Pleasure meeting you. Go change out of those wet clothes. Don’t catch a cold. Should I not have won that point against Mr. Gu? Either way, it’s over now. Stop thinking about it. And you were telling others to hydrate. Looks like your brain needs hydration. Let me tell you. At first I could still stay rational. I kept reminding myself to let him win to make him happy. But as we kept playing I just… I truly couldn’t control myself, especially at critical moments. I felt that I, I should treat this match sincerely. What if Mr. Gu felt the same way? But now it seems my judgment was wrong. Hu Manli, just scold me. Why would I scold you? Today, we didn’t meet Li Fendou and managed to
offend the chamber’s chairman. This deal probably won’t happen now. If this deal falls through, there’ll be another one. This world has more rich people
than just Li Fendou. But why is it that I can’t even handle
a simple tennis game properly? Xue Xiaozhou. do you know what kind of person can truly succeed in our line of work? Certainly not someone like me. Only by using your natural strengths to interact with clients can you last long in this industry. What am I good at? I’m only good at offending people. All roads are made by walking. Who knows? Maybe someone actually likes
your straightforward style. Right? OMG! Hey! [Gu: Introduce a young friend
who beat me today] He accepted you. You think so too? Let me tell you something. When you were playing, I broke out in cold sweat. What’s wrong? When I saw you beat Gu Tianming I thought “we’re done”. You’ve offended someone. I had to pinch my thigh to stop myself from scolding you. Then why were you putting on airs? What choice did I have? You’re so stubborn and inflexible. Can’t be taught no matter what. I had to do the opposite. Sit. Sit. S-s-stubborn and inflexible. Who are you talking about? Whoever recognizes themselves
gets scolded. Listen. Hu Manli, you’d better watch out. I’ll have my own career path now. You’ll need to mind
your manners with me. Be more polite, understand? Yes Director Xue, my mistake. About rich people’s mentality, you’re the expert. Alright, just be genuine. Creeps me out. I can’t always be right either. Otherwise, [Li Fendou:
Then he must be very capable] how could I have lost the house and couldn’t even
keep my son of my dad by my side? [Xue is here to improve your skills] That was an accident. Not your fault. Don’t comfort me. I’m not that fragile. I just think this path is a new track for both of us. You don’t know how to do it. I don’t know how to do it either. But there’s one thing
I’m better at than you. The detours I’ve taken,
the mistakes I’ve made are more than yours. I can guarantee I won’t let you repeat
the mistakes I’ve made. As for other things, we’ll figure them out together. Hu Manli. This time I have a strong premonition. I think this deal will definitely succeed. When we make money, your dad, son, and house, you’ll have everything back. How come I find
you’re just like how I used to be, always talking about money? How vulgar. You’re refined now. You’re refined, so I have to be vulgar. We need to complement each other. Alright then. I’ll be counting on you. Li…Li Fendou accepted me. What should I say? Should I just say it directly? Would being direct
make me seem too eager? Should I… Where did all your confidence
from earlier go? The boss is asking you a question. Answer the question first. I just think to these businesspeople, their time is precious. Would being direct actually be better? Yes. [Hello, Mr. Li. May we meet and
talk about our Family Office business?] [Xue Xiaozhou, Sales Director] Gu. What’s this Xue Xiaozhou’s background? A new kid I met playing tennis ball. The person is upright. Kinda interesting. He gave me his assistant’s WhatsApp. What does this mean? Is he not really interested? [Contact my secretary] Don’t worry. Play the long game
to catch the big fish. Already got the stepping stone today. It’s already perfect, good . Right. True. I’ll add his secretary. Set a time with her. Come, let’s eat. Don’t you also feel something’s missing? Missing? Let’s drink. Should’ve bought more dishes earlier. Come. Here. Congratulations. Congratulations to us both. Mr. Li, that kid who added me last time has been contacting me, asking when to meet. Some instructions? Since Mr. Gu referred them, just meet them But trust business is serious. Will cost lots of money later. As the old saying goes, beardless mouth, unreliable work. Understood. So should I meet or will you? You meet them. By the way, Keke called me last week. Said her favorite singer
is having a concert. Asked me to buy tickets. Then just buy them. Why are you asking me? Last time you said to cut her allowance. Entertainment is entertainment. Life is life. Understood. Best seats in VIP section. Also, Keke mustn’t know
that you know about this. What if she asks about it? You’re still angry. Very angry. She must come to apologize to you. What if she doesn’t ask? You should tell her proactively! Tell her I’m hospitalized! I’ve received critical condition notice! Mr. Li, you shouldn’t
curse yourself like this. How could… You’re not better! I will curse myself! Understood. What do you mean “understood”? Nothing else? Leave! Understood. Every single day… Sooner or later I’ll be in hospital. How did it end again? What? No tickets left? No tickets? Buy them! You can’t even buy concert tickets? If you can’t handle it, don’t come to work tomorrow. Hello, Ms. Yan. I just ordered you a latte. Okay, thank you. I have some urgent messages to reply to. Please go ahead with what you were saying. It won’t interfere. Ms. Yan. I’m from TSI, Head of the Family Office. My name is Xue Xiaozhou. Our primary clients are high-net-worth individuals. [Concert in Shanghai] We handle their family wealth management
and inheritance Here’s our company introduction. Please take a look. TSI. So you’re
a newly established family office. Yes, we’ve just been established, But all departments in our company have already allocated most resources [Chen Xiaotian’s concert] towards family office services. As for our family office, – actually, we have… – Okay. I understand. You have your
business introduction here? The business introduction is right here. I’ll take this back to have a look. Please review it first then. We’ll schedule another meeting later. Alright. Let’s meet again. Ms. Yan. That concert you mentioned earlier, is it Chen Xiaotian’s concert? Yes. What’s wrong? I can get tickets. Are you sure? It sold out within minutes
after sales opened. Ms. Yan. We serve high-net-worth individuals. If we can’t even secure concert tickets, how can we satisfy our clients? Center seats. Members and scalpers
are all sold out. No problem, leave it to me. Okay, waiting for your update. Keep in touch. About those tickets, I’ll try my best to get them for you. Wait for my update. Don’t worry, the middleman confirmed tickets can be obtained, no problem. What’s wrong? You’re upset because I got the tickets
and stole your thunder? Not happy? That’s not why. Her boss is our major client. That’s correct. But we’re not babysitters either. Today we helped them get tickets. Right? What if tomorrow
they say their toilet is clogged. Should we go fix that too? I’d be overjoyed if he really asked me
to go fix their toilet. That means they treat me as family. We shouldn’t always
fawn over big clients. Sometimes refusal is an attitude too. Saying no shows you’ve got confidence. Li Fendou is my client. Let me take the lead, okay? This time, follow my lead. That’s what I said initially. But petty officials
are hard to deal with. Especially those around the boss. We don’t need their help. We just need them not to sabotage us. Just leave this person to me. I’ll handle it for you, alright? When you finally meet Li Fendou, I won’t interfere anymore, okay? About those concert tickets, I’ve already paid the middleman. If we don’t take the tickets, the money’s wasted. Won’t let it happen again, okay? Okay. Fine then. It’s been almost an hour now. Ms. Yan still hasn’t shown up. You did contact her, right? Yes, I texted her when I arrived. No reply though. And this appointment time was set by herself three days ago, That shouldn’t happen. If something came up suddenly, she should have notified us earlier. Now leaving us hanging here isn’t a good sign. Let me call her. Ms. Yan, thanks for today. Don’t mention it. We’ll leave the rest to you. Leaving us hanging here now isn’t a good sign. Let me give her a call. Ms. Yan, thank you for today. Don’t mention it. We’ll leave the rest to you. TSI? Someone from your company already contacted us. I know. That’s my company’s newly promoted Director Xue. Very young and full of drive. It’s just that… It’s alright. If there’s anything, you can tell me. Mr. Li is about to entrust
such a large sum. The most important thing is reliability. I think this can prove I can do better than him. [Chen Xiaotian’s after party] Ms. Yan. Please tell Mr. Li. The resources I can secure for him
within the company are definitely more than
Director Xue can. This is Director Tang. Mr. Li, nice to meet you. Hello, welcome. Hello, I’ve heard so much about you. These two are my top business experts. Hello. Nice to meet you. Hello. Pleasure. Then let’s keep in touch. Okay. Take care. Thank . Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. Ms. Yan, we had an appointment at 2 pm. I just talked to your colleague. As for the specifics, your company can discuss internally. My colleague there doesn’t handle family office business. Is that so? But your colleague brought over
several project managers, and Mr. Li is very satisfied. Ms. Yan. Anyway, here are the concert tickets for you. Center of the inner section with excellent views. Thank you both for your trouble. Your colleagues gave us an invitation for the concert’s after party. We can chat and take photos
with celebrities up close. With that invitation, attending the concert becomes secondary. Ms. Yan. Why didn’t I think one step ahead? Are you okay? I’m fine. You can head back first. I need to go to the office. Okay. Hello, Director Xue. Hello, Director Xue. Hello, Director Xue. Hello, Director Xue. You came to me just for this matter? Within the same company, two directors are
competing for one client. What kind of impression would that
leave on the client? So what do you want me to do? I hope you could possibly mediate. Let Tang Ling withdraw from the competition? Yes. Guess what? It was me who asked Tang Ling to compete. Why? Xue Xiaozhou. Do you think you’re still in school, where classmates fight or something, and you go complain to the teacher? In the workplace, whoever secures the client is the winner. It’s that simple. Isn’t there an order to everything? You introduced Li Fendou
to me first, right? Wrong. No such thing as first come,
first served. Being first doesn’t guarantee
securing the client. Whoever ultimately lands the client, wins. That’s our fundamental goal. I’m confident
I can secure Li Fendou’s deal. Confidence is an expectation, not an established fact. I must ensure our company wins decisively. If you think I’m wrong, then you go win the client back. Deliver results. Turn confidence into reality. When you have a say, you can set new rules. I exceptionally
promoted you to director and even tolerated you hiring Hu Manli
with a tainted background. This isn’t fair to Ling either, right? But she didn’t come complaining to me. She’s competing with you on merit. That’s the attitude I want. You should be the same. Why are you still standing here? Your time is running out. If you and Hu Manli
fail to deliver this time, once her probation ends, you’ll have to leave with her. TSI doesn’t carry dead weight. Good, I understand. Daer. Eat. Put the phone away. I am eating. Excuse me. What’s wrong? Mr. Qiu, here’s the thing. This suit of Professor Ding’s, I accidentally washed and shrunk it. Suits shouldn’t be machine washed. You shouldn’t have made such a basic mistake. It’s not that. I originally set it aside
to send for dry cleaning. But someone put it in the machine wash basket. I think it was me. I put it there by mistake. This isn’t her fault. Forget it then. Next time before washing, you must check carefully, okay? Okay. Dad. Isn’t it the suit Mom gave you for your 40th birthday? Let me see. It really is that one. I won’t blame you for shrinking the clothes. But could you help me think of a way to restore it, please? Thank you. Okay. Just throw it away. It’s not even good clothes. Look at it. Don’t waste effort to restore it. Isn’t worth it. Am I right, Zhiyuan? What are you saying? You heard it was from my mom, and you want to throw it away. You’re deliberate. Daer. Daer, it’s not like that. It’s ruined by the wash. It’s beyond repair. If you don’t want it, I do. Daer. Come upstairs. Scold me here if you want. You upset my mom. I won’t let it drop. Go upstairs. Come with me. Ms. Qiu. I’m sorry. You silly boy. You did the right thing. I did the right thing? Why didn’t you speak up for me? You know what Ms. Qiu is going through now. She’s not that young anymore, and she’s carrying my baby. If I had defended you just now,
she would definitely be upset. If she gets angry, it could affect the baby. What if something happens? I know you’re a kind-hearted child. You surely don’t want such a thing
to happen, right? What does that child have to do with me? I couldn’t care less. Then doesn’t that child
have something to do with me? After all, I’m your father. Look, I’m stuck in a very awkward position. Shouldn’t you try to
understand me a little too? Dad. I really don’t understand. Qiu Lisu clearly ruined
your relationship with Mom. Why does she keep targeting Mom? Mom hasn’t done anything to her. Between people, there are many things that are inexplicable
and hard to define. First of all, humans are complex creatures. Why am I not that complicated? I can’t take it anymore. I just want to go back to my mom. This is the adult world you’ve never understood. Sometimes, for the people you care about, you have to learn to endure. I, your father, just realized this truth a bit too late. Mr. Gu. You’re here too. What brings you here? I’m meeting friends to play ball. They’re not here yet. What a coincidence! Yes. Yes. How about I play you for a few more rounds? You just can’t get enough of winning. Don’t say it like that. Sure, let’s play together. Okay. My pleasure. Here, have some water, Mr. Gu. Okay, thank you. I just heard from your assistant. You’ve been coming to
play daily recently. When skills fall short,
one must practice diligently. You’re being too modest. How about this? If you don’t mind, I’ll come be your
practice partner every day. Really? Yes,really. Won’t a practice partner be expensive? I’ll try not to charge you. Then I’ll come same time tomorrow. Sure. Okay, tomorrow. Let’s have some water first. Then play one more round. Okay. About that company you mentioned before, do you have a proposal yet? I was just about to report to you. Director Tang
provided several proposals. They recommend letting professional managers
take over the company. In that case, Keke can also regularly receive that trust fund dividend. They say many old-money families abroad operate this way. But we’re Chinese. Can we be like them? When foreign kids turn eighteen, they’re kicked out of the house. That kind of heartless attitude, should we learn from them? Keke’s place is about to open? It’s open. Let’s go take a look. Okay. Then I’ll give her a call. No need. Mr. Wang, we’re going to Keke’s shop. Got it. Mr. Li, it’s right across. Watch your step. It’s over here. Here. Be careful. This is the floor. Slow down. What kind of mess is all this? Door’s unlocked, come in. Browse freely. Finally opens a shop,
and you choose the second floor. The stairs are practically collapsing. Who’d come up here to shop? What brings you here? Can’t I visit my daughter’s shop? Look. Look all you want. But in my place, if you look, you buy. Is this a scam shop? I have to buy if I look? Then call the police. Yan. Hm? Pick whatever you like, it’s on me. Me? Anything. This one. How much is it? Twenty thousand. What thing costs twenty grand? Made by your daughter’s own hands. The only one in the world. One-of-a-kind piece. Not worth it? Just trying to fleece customers, huh? Understood. Don’t be too ruthless now. I’m not ruthless. Just need twenty grand
for now. What do you mean
“just need twenty grand for now”? Why do you need money this time? Take a look. Tell me what’s missing in this room. Common sense. We’re definitely not short on that, Dad, we still need an AC unit. Sponsor me, won’t you? No wonder it’s so hot. Ran out of money during renovations. Couldn’t install the AC. Counting on you. Now you know
money doesn’t grow on trees. Weren’t you a shop assistant for years? How come you didn’t
save enough for an AC? Will you give it or not? Just say the word. No pressure if you don’t. I’ll just tough it out. Might get heatstroke someday or suffer heat exhaustion. You can collect my body at the hospital. Bah! Touch wood! Now! So you’ve decided to sponsor me, eh? Thanks, Dad. Here. Twenty grand, right? I can transfer the money one condition. Go home? Take over the business? Deal. Really? Ten, hundred, thousand… Thirty grand. Now we’re talking. Thanks, Dad. I’ll take the money. About taking over, maybe next lifetime. What did you say? I said you’d be better off while you’re still spry. Find yourself a new wife and have another kid or two. Then you’d have your heir. You little brat! Mr. Li, don’t! She! Mr. Li. Mr. Li. Slow down. She’s broke
but still play the tough girl. Let me tell you. When she asks you for money, don’t give her a dime! Okay, understood. Wait, no. Last time you bought her
concert tickets. That was under your orders last time. Wait. If I order it, you just follow through? As her father, I can spoil her. Can’t you discipline her? Okay, understood. Let me tell you. This time, I’m serious. I can’t control her anymore. That Tang something running the trust, if she’s no good, replace her. Mr. Li. We’ve already changed several rounds. None have satisfied you. That just proves they’re incompetent. Their fees are high too. And they never get to the point. How about this? You tell them your requirements, so they can execute properly. If I tell them my requirements, they’ll tell Keke, and she would explode. Keke will find out sooner or later. So you see. I need to find competent people. Right? This requires proper methods.
