Negotiator (谈判官)

Cai, are you really leaving them to sink or swim?

Nobody else is here.

I'm no longer in the business. Tell me what you really think.

What do you think of the two kids?

I like them from the bottom of my heart.

What are you laughing at? Just say it.

You're a bystander.

You have a different mindset than I do.

If I were you, I could also do them this small favor.

But now...

I have the mindset of marrying off a daughter.

Why do you say that?

Tong Wei's father was my friend.

A very close friend.

Her mother...

You can laugh if you want.

She was once the love of my life.

If I had been more attentive and alert back then

Tong Wei probably wouldn't be so deeply mired in this predicament today.

You're afraid Tong Wei is with the wrong man?

Xie Xiao Fei is a rich playboy from America.

He doesn't have a very good reputation.

I am uneasy about entrusting Tong Wei to him.

So you want to test him?

Test their luck.

You need to see me?

Uncle Cai.

Can I call you that the way Tong Wei does?

You can call me whatever you want.

Don't assume I will grant your requests because you call me Uncle though.

Actually, I did come to ask you for help.

Sit.

Tell me what it is.

Tong Wei has always had a wish.

She wants to go to CAEA Headquarters and work with her idol, Jonathan.

As you know, she is accomplished but young.

In such a large institution as CAEA

if eligibility is determined by seniority...

it might be years until she gets a chance.

That's why...

I'm here to see you because I hope you can help her.

You want me to refer her to Headquarters?

Yes.

You are CAEA's council president. Your words carry a lot of weight.

That's why I'm asking you to help.

Nothing has gone smoothly for her after becoming my girlfriend.

She needs good news to lift her spirits.

You know she is more than qualified for the job.

But has it occurred to you that if she does go to New York

you two will be in different places?

I love her a lot.

I certainly want to be with her every day

but I want her to have a bigger stage on which she can fulfill her dreams.

She is so supportive of me.

I should be just as supportive of her.

I'm not afraid of a long-distance relationship.

I have to warn you, young man.

New York is chock-full of competent people.

If she goes to New York

you might not even have a chance at a long-distance relationship.

That won't happen. You forget I'm from New York.

In terms of looks and talent, nobody can compare to me.

I really don't know what Tong Wei sees in you.

How can you say that?

I'm exceptional. It's normal she would fall for me.

There are tons of women after me.

Anyway, just help her out.

Who is it?

Uncle Cai, it's me.

Did you two plan this?

I didn't!

Do you have a place I can hide?

Come in, come in.

Don't say anything yet. Let me guess.

You want me to support Xie Xiao Fei in X-Group. Right?

You know me.

Sit, sit.

Uncle Cai, I came to show you this.

Xiao Fei has worked on this project for many years.

It's called a native lifestyle resort.

I'm showing you this to tell you

Xiao Fei isn't an ignorant and incompetent hedonist.

Interesting.

But what can this prove?

It proves he can become a quaified heir to the corporation.

He needs time but he needs your support even more.

Tong Wei, it's not that simple.

A small-scale project like this can be done by anybody who is diligent enough.

However, it's not so easy to manage a large corporation like X-Group.

Uncle Cai, you're a key shareholder of X-Group.

You should know that ever since Xiao Fei's uncle assumed control

the business's outlook has been bleak.

I'm sure you don't support him, do you?

But he has experience. He will turn things around sooner or later.

What does Xie Xiao Fei have?

A small project with an uncertain future? That is such child's play.

Xiao Fei is indeed lacking experience

but he is upright, and has dreams and a vision.

Well said. Now that's an accurate assessment of me.

Women are blinded by love.

Uncle Cai.

Tong Wei, you are Bo Xue and Xiao Hui's daughter.

I regard you as my family.

I have to tell you what I truly think.

Someone like Xie Xiao Fei...

He isn't worthy of you.

You've already suffered many hardships with him.

You should end relations with him before it's too late.

I promise I'll introduce you to better men in the future.

Hold on!

Hold it, hold it. What are you saying?

You just stabbed me in the back!

You're a despicable and sneaky old man!

Why are you here?

- We're leaving. Don't talk with him. - Wait.

Think about this carefully, young man.

Once you leave, all the requests you asked of me will be beyond reach.

Drop the pretense. You think you're the only one who can help me?

What did you ask Uncle Cai?

He wants me to refer you to work with Jonathan in New York.

He said this is your dream.

You came to ask a favor for him. He came to ask a favor for you.

That's very touching.

All right, I'll agree.

However, I can only agree to fulfill one of these two requests.

You can decide who I will help.

No need to say anymore. Just help Tong Wei.

I'm just an incompetent and untalented good-for-nothing.

Don't say that.

In this case, we won't trouble you, Uncle Cai.

We'll be leaving.

You really don't need my help?

We do. Help Tong Wei.

No.

Uncle Cai, if there are no improvements in Xiao Fei's career

I won't go to New York on my own.

You don't have faith in him anyway. We won't trouble you.

Goodbye.

Come back here.

Why do you kids have such bad tempers? You get angry so easily.

I can't even make a joke?

Are you saying...

You two are good kids.

Good kids? Are you going to help or--

You're so dumb. You don't understand?

Uncle Cai agrees to help us.

Yes. What can I do?

If she goes to work in New York and you don't follow along

wouldn't you separated lovers be so pitiful?

Don't you have anything better to do at your age than play jokes on us?

Xie Xiao Fei, you have a lot of potential.

I hope you won't let down my trust in you.

Don't let down the trust all of X-Group's employees have in you.

And don't let down the love Tong Wei has for you.

I know. Don't worry, Uncle Cai.

I will not let down anyone.

I won't let down Tong Wei's love for me.

Bo Xue and Xiao Hui, I've tested him for you.

Xiao Fei.

Dad, I've done it.

Uncle Cai supports me.

I already know.

I will sign an agreement with him tomorrow.

I'll be back very soon.

You have to wait for me.

Judgment day is near at hand.

None of them will be able to escape.

Xiao Fei, look at me.

You've gotten skinny.

You've had a hard time.

I am proud of you.

Thank you, Dad.

I love you.

Hello? Why doesn't my password get me into the company's internal network?

Get it fixed right now!

You don't even knock coming in here. Do you not remember who I am?

Mr. Xie, during your time as CEO of this company

there have been some major issues with the accounts.

Well, we would like to understand the situation.

What are you trying to say?

We're hoping you will cooperate.

Don't you for a second think that with Xiao Fei moving up

you'd be able to take me down.

I'm telling you now this company belongs to us!

These documents...

Where did you get them?

You will have to cooperate.

Otherwise, we will be forced to turn you in

along with this proof of embezzlement of public funds.

What do you want to know?

Have you heard your manager is leaving again?

Manager?

You mean Tong Wei?

Leaving? To where?

You don't even know this major gossip?

Tell us.

Our council president is X-Group's mysterious large shareholder.

In Xie Xiao Fei's feud with his uncle

our council president fully backs Xie Xiao Fei.

Xie Xiao Fei has turned the tide and become X-Group's head.
