The first 200 lines.
Good morning.
Thank you.
It must feel good.
So cool.
Poor man...
It's been 3 days.
When's he gonna wake up?
You need to ask the Doctor.
The Doctor will be here by noon tomorrow.
I want to move him to a well-equipped hospital.
At this moment, it's not the right time to move him, because of his condition.
Don't worry, it's going to be okay.
Excuse me.
It's alright, I'm sure you'll recover.
You'll get better, well return to Japan together.
I've finally found you...
From now, we'll always be together.
Koh,
I love you.
3 Days Earlier
Koh...!
It wasn't easy finding you.
Boss wants to meet.
You're a big problem!
Koh!
Wait!
Wait!
I regret to say
that he's beyond help.
I've done everything I can,
the gunshot has seriously damaged major organs.
He may have a few more days.
But... I thought his surge went well.
Well yes, it did, but only enough to prolong his life.
It's amazing how he's hanging in there despite his condition.
It's only a matter of time now.
I know it must be difficult for you.
I want to move him to a hospital in Singapore.
I can't allow that.
That's too dangerous. It'll only shorten his life.
Are you saying I should just watch him die?!
SECOND VIRGINITY
Why did you come to Malaysia?
I came to look for him.
I heard he was in this town.
What is your relationship with Yang?
Yang?!
Who are you talking about?
I know you came to look for Yang!
He's Japanese. His name is Koh Suzuki.
No.
Yang Ming-Liang is Taiwanese.
I said, he is Japanese.
We lived together in Tokyo until 5 years ago.
Yang is a gang member of a Chinese Fund making illegal investments in Asia.
That can't be!
Are you Yang's wife?
No, I'm his girlfriend.
You said you were with him until 5 years ago?
Yes.
So, what have you been doing for the past 5 years?
Were you looking for him? Or did you forget about him?
I never forgot about him.
5 Years Earlier
Koh?
Giving up so easily?!
Rejection in work is opportunity.
I know, but...
Now go and make it happen. You got it?
The number you have dialled is outside the service area...
Yes?
No way!
Koh dumped me, and now you too?
Moved on to a new woman?
So that's what he's like...?
He didn't come back there?
Whether he's here or not or dead or alive,
I won't give him a divorce.
So you wasted a trip here.
Thank you, Miss Rui. So your taxi is waiting outside.
Thank you.
Wait!
This is no place for you to do business!
It's alright. He helped me.
Are you sure?
Sure.
Thank you.
8 Years Earlier
As beautiful as always.
Thank you.
As expected of the 'Iron Lady of Publishing.'
Beauty in strength.
How are things going? Been working hard?
Yes, thanks to him.
After I'd mentored him,
he disgraced me by quitting our public Agency.
Now he runs an online securities company.
I don't expert young guys to have such guts these days.
Suzuki!
Meet Rui Nakamura, Managing Director at Shinkaisha.
Shinkaisha?
We're a minor publisher.
She's just being modest.
Nice to meet you. I'm Nakamura.
I'm Suzuki, Mondiale Securities. Pleased to meet you.
Why did you disgrace Nasuda, the Financial Agency Head.
Tell her.
I did no such thing.
My role at the Agency had simply run its course.
A woman like this can prove useful,
you should get to know her.
I'm counting on you!
I'll start being useful now.
Huh!
How about doing a book?
A book?
Like a Financial Services Agency expose?
I have no desire to betray them.
Or on how an entrepreneur thinks?
Thanks anyway. But I have no time for a book.
Why not just leave it to me?
A bestseller would be good for business.
But a bestseller earns only 100 million yen.
Please tell me your mobile number.
Your number?
You're rather pushy. Isn't that frowned upon?
It is.
I'd rather be frowned upon than not get what I want.
Considering that we just met,
don't you wonder why I'm being so aggressive?
Yes...
It's intuition.
Perhaps even inspiration.
I can see your book becoming a bestseller,
and you a darling of the media.
I'm sure we'll work together,
and you'll thank me for it.
Koh, remember me?
Koh, remember me?
You do remember, Koh...
Who are you?
Who are you?
It's me, Koh. I'm Rui.
Do I know you?
He's awake!
Oh, really?
How do you feel?
Does your wound hurt?
Okay, I will increase the dose of your painkiller.
He spoke a little.
That's good.
But...
he has no idea who I am.
Maybe it's because of the drugs.
Don't worry. It's going to be okay.
I'm going to tell the Doctor. I'll be right back.
Okay.
I said finish by 5pm today!
Or you'll no longer be in charge!
Sorry to ask, but these need checking ASAP.
Alright.
Thank you.
KOH SUZUKI
Could we meet somewhere today?
Let's meet in 10 minutes.
Yes.
Don't miss this chance. Do it!
Yes!
RUI NAKAMURA
Today is impossible.

Ex-Financial Services Agency Ace on How to Succeed
There's a talk by Koh Suzuki,
who's introduced a totally new theory...
Excuse me.
I'll get going.
I really want to see you. When are you available?
Sorry, but I don't have time.
If it's urgent, please contact the editor, Yamada.
Mr. Suzuki, this way please.
Thank you for your time today. I look forward to it.
And so do I.
Please sit.
Ideals can be achieved. All of mine have been.
The 'Prince of Finance'?
I can't believe he got such a great break.
Managing Director Wakamura vowed to make him a media favourite.
Welcome back.
Japan needs to learn about using assets for investment.
I want to see you.
Everything can't go into the securities market, however,
investing just part would greatly increase market activity.
It's been a while.
That's true.
I've wanted to thank you in person for some time.
Have a seat.
What'll you have?
Coffee.
Order, please.
Let's get started. The proposal for your second book.
