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

Can the information that he'll lose the election be relied on?

Strictly speaking, if there's no news, it can't be called reliable.

But, Zhan Tian Xiao, partner at a construction investment group

in the development zone

has already begun a job handover process.

If nothing unexpected happens, he should be the new district mayor.

Look at you. Let's see if you'll show off again.

That bag of costumes is over 50 kilograms! Why did you carry it?

What were you showing off for?

Oh, shut up.

Aren't you tired? You've been nagging all day.

It's not like I haven't carried anything before.

If you have, would you have hurt yourself this badly?

Have you forgotten your car crash? You were injured for a good while.

You have bad memory.

Your back is weak and feeble. What if there's a show later?

Hold on. Do I stick it here?

Hurry up. I'll be fine.

I only pulled something.

Hold on!

Are these for sensitive skin?

I don't want to be scratching until my skin turns red.

Look, it's written right here. For sensitive skin.

You never believe me.

Find an electrician later.

Have him raise speakers 1 and 2 by half a meter.

This theater doesn't transmit sound very well.

What are you looking at?

I'll go find an electrician. Raise by half a meter.

Oh, right. Don't go anywhere.

I hired a Chinese practitioner to come take a look at your back.

I'm just answering the phone. Where would I go?

Hello?

It really is you.

Who else would it be?

You're the one who called.

I did call you.

I heard you haven't been answering calls. I was just trying.

How come you suddenly called?

I came to Beijing for some work.

You're in Beijing?

Yes.

You really think I'm from Hangzhou? My household register is in Beijing.

Marriage on vacation?

No, it's for work.

What is it? Or is it a routine greeting?

I want to say it's a routine greeting

but there is something you might be able to help me with.

Let's have dinner together tonight.

I can't. I have a performance tonight.

Performance? What performance?

A kid's show.

I can't explain on the phone.

We could meet afterward.

Late-night dinner is on me. Where do you live?

I'm over at East 3rd Ring Road. It was arranged by my host.

East 3rd Ring Road?

Is your business urgent?

It's rather urgent.

If so, you can come see me.

I'm over in the Xidan neighborhood.

Xuanwumen Inner Street.

I'll send you the address later.

Okay, see you tonight.

See you tonight.

Son, where is the little piggy?

The little piggy is hiding in this house.

This is a straw house.

Let's rush in and capture it!

Okay.

The Big Bad Wolf is here! Help!

Where's the little pig?

Daddy, the little pig ran that way!

Ran? Let's chase!

- Run! - After it!

Run, piggy!

What do you think?

Very good. This bass is very full.

It doesn't have the scratchy sound.

I wasn't asking about acoustics. I was asking how I performed.

You only asked what I thought. I didn't notice.

Oh, right. I'll bring you out for the curtain call later.

You shouldn't.

What? You contributed too.

Yu, it’s almost your turn. Get ready.

Okay, coming.

The hat.

I completely forgot.

- Okay, you're good. - I'm going.

- Curtain call. - Okay.

We won!

We defeated the Big Bad Wolf!

Children!

Mama!

Children!

Mama!

Mama, the Big Bad Wolf came today.

He wanted to eat us!

Really?

We chased him away!

You're so brave!

Wonderful! You're all grown up!

You're my good children!

Mama!

Luo Luo.

Is your back okay?

Thank you.

Hi.

Were you waiting here?

I saved a ticket for you at the front desk.

I went in.

I caught the ending.

It was very good.

Thank you.

What do you want to eat?

How about Gui Street?

Okay.

It's rare to see you skipping around. You seem years younger.

This sort of show is low-pressure and fun.

The male actor who played the Big Bad Wolf...

He's quite funny.

Why did you notice him?

No special reason. I just saw him.

He's also just an amateur.

He put together this troupe.

Amateur? What's his real profession?

He runs a restaurant.

Does that man have a thing for you?

I saw the way he looked at you during the curtain call.

Yes, he is my current boyfriend.

We met not too long ago.

He's an ordinary person.

That's a good thing.

Outstanding people just aren't for me. It never lasts.

Really?

I have sharp eyes, don't I?

Why didn't you tell me sooner? We should've went to his restaurant.

I'll pay.

No need to be so polite with me.

Besides, he's quite petty.

I don't know what he'll think if he sees you.

Tell me about your business.

My business?

Still the same.

After you left, there were some major personnel changes.

Two long-time employees left.

What's with you?

Didn't you say you needed to see me about something urgent?

Sorry, my mind wandered off.

So it's like this.

I came to Beijing for a headhunting case.

The target candidate is a government official.

The deputy district mayor of the Economic Development Zone.

I'll get to the point.

There's something I need to make sure of.

He is taking part in the election for the next district mayor.

The higher-ups may have results already.

I want to know if his chances of being promoted are high.

If he can be promoted, he'll be hard to recruit.

If he loses

you can take advantage of his loss to recruit him.

It's so easy to talk with smart people.

The food here isn't as spicy as before.

I ordered mild spicy.

We used to order extra spicy.

What can I help you with?

If you have government connections, help me ask around to see if

he has a chance of being district mayor.

I can be better prepared if I know.

What is this person's name?

Qu Min Jing, an awkward-sounding name.

It's these three characters.

Thank you.

Headhunters also recruit government officials?

For a long while already.

It's happening even more now.

The opposite also occurs.

It's also common to see

the government going to headhunting firms to recruit special talents.

I forgot to ask how Xiong Qing Chun is doing.

Pretty good. Still the same.

You two must be married.

Didn't you say you were getting married soon last time?

Maybe after this busy period.

Is it the turn up ahead?

Keep straight.

Your information.

Ms. Liu.

Yes, go ahead.

Is that so?

Thank you, Ms. Liu.

Goodbye.

Your Qu Min Jing is Tan Fu Sang's son-in-law?

Yes.

Artsy girls all like Tan Fu Sang.

I'm his diehard fan.

I read his "Winter's Thunder" in junior high.

What about my business?

It's like this.

Qu Min Jing's dreams of being district mayor are hopeless.
