Game of Hunting (Hunting Ground / Lie Chang / 猎场)

A suicide at sea is a hero's death.

Jump into the sea? It's not the time for that yet.

Öndörkhaan?

Not there.

Third time's the charm.

Hangzhou?

Please wait a moment.

Your household register and ID card.

Sign here.

[Success Through Adversity Employment Agency, now hiring]

Graduate student?

With your education, you don't need to work here.

That's not worth anything in Hangzhou.

I have a senior who's a doctoral student.

She's submitted over 60 resumes and still doesn't have a job.

There's a phrase you must've heard. It goes like this--

- Would you like to hear it? - Go ahead.

Doctoral, graduate, undergraduate, take your pick.

Previous, current, next graduating class, unemployment for all.

What advice would you give to your senior?

I'd advise her to get plastic surgery and rely on her looks.

She might even meet someone that way.

So she won't be working.

- That's a waste of a Ph.D. - It's not a waste.

Higher education for women is

an investment toward teaching their children.

Education is still necessary even if she's just going to be a mother.

Have you said that to yourself?

I will sooner or later. I'm still young. It's still early.

What do you expect of the salary?

Basically none. Just not too low.

Why did you choose us?

- I like this job. - Don't fake it.

Nobody would like a job at an employment agency.

I want to hear the truth.

- It's true! I really-- - I don't believe that.

Fresh graduate without a job yet.

You want to land an easy job first

as in one with low hiring standards, like here.

Salary doesn't matter as long as it covers rent.

Get a foothold in Hangzhou first

then take your time to find a satisfactory job and leave.

I think that must be your short-term goal.

I wouldn't admit to it if you weren't spot on.

Okay, it is indeed what you're thinking.

Seeing how frank I am, you're going to keep me, right?

Thank you for being straightforward, but I can't hire you.

You're highly capable, so you'll leave very quickly. If I hire you...

Hi, Auntie Zhang!

- Going home, Zheng? - Yes.

Zheng, you bought so many groceries today.

I'll cook a whole week's worth of food.

Your router is working fine now?

It's fine now.

There wasn't even any lag when I played online mahjong.

I really have to thank you.

- You're welcome. - Such a good boy.

Not even one 100 yuan bill.

How am I going to survive?

Hello, Auntie?

Who's your Auntie? I'm Zheng Qiu Dong.

It's you, you devil?

You gave me a scare.

It's just a phone call.

I saw it was a Hangzhou number so I thought it was an auntie calling.

How come you're using a Hangzhou number?

What do you care?

How did you know my number?

What do you mean? You called me first.

Liar. Why would I call you?

Then you must've called the wrong person.

I answered last time but you didn't say anything.

I heard a woman talking about mahjong though.

Oh, really?

It must have been an accidental dial.

I ran into a neighbor downstairs.

How dare you not tell me you got a new number?

I've been calling your old number this whole time and getting no response.

Do you not want your money anymore? You're going to be so generous?

You know what? I actually do want your advice.

About what? Going to try for a career in Hangzhou?

I couldn't stay in Beijing any longer.

There was no space left for me.

I've been in Hangzhou for several months already

and opened an employment agency.

I've done this work before.

You really went to Hangzhou?

Stop screaming. Why are you so excited?

I've been in this business a long time.

I have some questions

I'd like to ask you.

Sure, go ahead.

I'll have to charge you the MBA rate.

In a few days.

I'll put together a list

and ask you all at once.

Okay.

Why don't you give me your address and agency name?

I'll consult with a feng shui master.

Time and feng shui are most important for a grand opening.

I'll cover the consulting fee.

You'll cover it?

You're just spending my money. Don't pretend to be loyal.

Enough talk. Hurry up and give me the address.

Hui Cheng Gong?

Is this the name you had at birth

or one you came up with to find a job?

This has been my name since birth.

Here's my ID card.

Higher vocational school?

That's what used to be called junior college, right?

I think so.

Your ID card is new, isn't it? The photo looks very current.

I lost my ID card a while ago and just had it replaced.

Boss, don't worry. I live a good life.

I definitely wouldn't deceive others with a fake ID.

Zheng, Officer Wang is at my store and wants to see you.

Okay.

- Excuse me. I'll be back soon. - Okay.

Go buy two lunches.

Do you have any requests?

Sweet? Spicy? Any foods you avoid?

Do you know how to use a computer?

Yes.

Can you drive?

Yes, I have a regular driver's license.

Don't buy fragranced tissue.

We are reviewed by the Ministry of Labor and subject to their supervision.

One letter of complaint will bring us a lot of trouble.

So remember this.

First, do not lie to clients or employers.

Even when asked if you're hungry.

If you're hungry, say so. If not, say you're not.

Telling the truth is more important than being polite.

Second, money.

Make absolutely no mistakes with money.

If you take money that's not yours, there will be retribution.

Double the retribution.

You can go home.

I'm hungry.

How thoughtful, Zheng Qiu Dong.

Youth Themed Restaurant.

Is it meant for Xiong Qing Chun?

Just a coincidence.

Are you crazy?

Sometimes in life, you just need to take an impromptu vacation.

Cut to the chase.

You don't want your agency in Nanning? Your car?

I'm in a slump.

When I counted the register yesterday, there wasn't a single 100 yuan bill.

I'm suspending business.

I put my storefront up on Anjuke. I also sold my car online.

I came here to try my luck.

Life is about change.

No, no.

My humble agency can't possibly accommodate you.

I suggest you just take a three-day tour of Hangzhou.

Go check out West Lake and Yue Fei Temple.

The night view at Wuzhen Water Town is worth seeing.

Eat, shop, have a happy time, and then go home.

If you really want to try your luck

not at Hangzhou.

You should go to Macau. Try your luck there and maybe, who knows?

I'm not in desperate need of a job.

I can be considered an expert in this field.

A talent any employment agency would need!

Get that into your mind, Zheng Qiu Dong!

Honestly, I don't need some talented expert.

I just need someone to watch the place. I just hired someone.

I don't need him to know the business. I just got started and don't make much.

Would an extra person ruin things?

An extra partner means more positivity!

Yes, having you would be a good thing. Let me just put that out there.

Don't get me wrong. I'm telling the truth.

But it's just too sudden. I'm not mentally prepared.

All positions are filled at my agency.

I don't have the authorization for another person.

There's no pay package either.

Authorization? Do you think you're directly under the State Council?

Fine, I don't need a spot.

I'll be a contract worker, okay?

Ridiculous! Authorization?

I can provide for myself! What more do you want?

Do you have any requirements regarding compensation?

Shareholding system.

You're the chairman. I'm the general manager.

You have 51 percent of the shares, controlling interest.

I'll purchase 49 percent of the shares, a minority shareholder.

- That's like your Success... - Through.

Adversity has acquired my Qing Chun.

Qing Chun Employment Agency.

- Not acquiring your Qing Chun (youth). - Right.

Same.

Let's order.

- Looks good? - Not bad.

- Sir, your beer. - Thanks.

Want to drink?

All right, let's celebrate.

I'm going to take a call.

Why don't you go ahead and eat? I have to go.
