War of Faith (追风者)

Why did you get hit this time?

Business.

Because of the Communist Party?

Why don't you quit?

You tire yourself out every day without getting any benefits.

Just quit.

I'll feed you.

You'll feed me?

I eat quite a lot.

It's just a matter of tricking some rich heirs.

It's not a big deal.

Are you taking me as a boy toy?

You've got guts.

I'm talking to you seriously.

If you don't work as an official,

there's still a possibility for us.

Resign.

I'm serious.

I've saved some money these two years.

Even if we just run some small business,

we can still live nicely.

Don't be like this.

I told you

I can die anytime.

I also told you

I'm not doing this job

just to get promoted and get rich.

I don't come to you to be a rich official's wife either.

You won't be included in the family tree,

but

after I die,

if you don't mind,

you can be buried with me.

You can also write on the tombstone,

"Madam Song,

wife of Lin Qiaosong."

Hello?

Okay, let me check.

Please wait a moment.

Sorry.

Mr. Shen's schedule

doesn't have this event.

Mr. Shen asked us to go over immediately.

Hurry.

Come in.

Sir.

Sir.

From now on,

cancel all the scheduled appointments

and activities.

You two must be on standby at all times

and can't take leave.

Yes.

Come here, Ruolai.

This is

the import and export data

of major commercial associations and banks from recent years.

Memorize them all for me.

These days,

you'll visit these

finance industry bigwigs with me.

When I need it,

you must tell me with complete accuracy.

Yes.

I'll memorize it now, sir.

S...

What's wrong?

Sir,

what are your plans for me?

Stay and look after the house.

I'm your secretary.

Besides,

I have dealt with

those financial bigwigs before.

I'm more familiar with their situation,

sir.

I'm leaving you here

to do more important things.

We will receive a lot of

invitation letters and phone calls recently.

Some people will rush over here directly.

None of them will be easy to deal with.

I'm leaving you here

so you can deal with them

in my place.

Yes, sir.

Well,

are you up to something big recently?

You'll know soon.

The Central Bank of China announces

that starting today, the Treasury Department and the Central Bank

both appoint Special Advisor Shen Tunan

as the plenipotentiary

to lead the matter in taking back tariff autonomy

and decide whether it will be approved by a democratic vote.

All parties must cooperate actively

without delay.

From the Treasury Department.

Shen Tunan

is crazy for money!

Hello?

Mingquan.

Mr. Yu.

Have you read the Treasury Department's newest telegram?

Just read it.

Does Shen Tunan want to die?

How dare he provoke a tiger?

He's using Mr. Song's name.

This is an overt strategy.

It's obvious that they want to cut off our flow of wealth.

Exactly.

Back when Yuan Shikai

borrowed money from HSBC,

Banque de l'Indochine and Yokohama Specie Bank,

he used the tariff management right

as a mortgage.

It's a huge deposit

with financial stability.

It's also the trump card

to control the government's finance.

Without this weapon,

the interests of all foreign traders

will be severely damaged.

He's just messing around.

Calm down.

Mr. Yu,

how can I calm down?

Shen Tunan already snatched the Imperial Bank.

It's thanks to you

that I'm working at HSBC now.

What I'm responsible for now

is borrowing money from the industries under your name

and other private banks.

I use the money from the tariffs.

If we don't have this,

we won't be able to survive.

Shen Tunan is forcing us to rebel.

Don't panic.

Chess

is about going back and forth.

He's already made his move.

Next,

it's our turn.

The Central Bank is treacherous.

The Central Bank is corrupted and incompetent.

The Central Bank is treacherous.

The Central Bank is corrupted and incompetent.

The Central Bank is treacherous.

The Central Bank is corrupted and incompetent.

The Central Bank is treacherous.

The Central Bank is corrupted and incompetent.

The Central Bank is treacherous.

The Central Bank is corrupted and incompetent.

The Central Bank is treacherous.

The Central Bank is corrupted and incompetent.

The Central Bank is treacherous.

Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang.

Madam.

The people in the yard

are here to protect us.

So,

make some soup for them later.

Don't neglect them.

Okay.

Ruolai.

What do you think about the tariff reform?

I support all of your decisions.

I didn't know before,

but after reading the report,

I realized that our country is so poor.

It's not just poor.

It's long been unable to make ends meet.

A war requires guns and ammunition.

Construction

requires oil, coal, steel, and cement.

We can't do anything without money.

This time,

we must have the control

of the tariffs in our own hands.

For this,

even offending those with vested interests

or even infuriating the foreign powers

is worth it.

But true reform

requires bloodshed.

Are you afraid?

No.

My father said before

that even if the sky falls down,

the tall ones will hold it up.

Let me ask you.

If someone wanted to kill me

and shot a bullet suddenly

or put a bomb under the car,

would you be afraid of being implicated?

No.

If that really happened,

I hope you could give me some

compensation fee
