ZHAO RI SECURITIES INVESTMENT TRUST

Which of you can update me on the current situation?

Sir.

The profit from Mr. Guo's order...

is unlikely to achieve 8 percent.

How close are we?

After the transactions, it's possible that...

we'll receive no profit.

No profit? You have the audacity to tell me that?

-Where's Chen Che? -Mr. Tian.

Deputy Manager isn't answering his cell.

As you know, he's using up all of his vacation days.

Don't remind me. Keep trying!

Just tell him that we're distributing bonuses from Mr. Guo's order.

Yes, sir.

Bonus? We didn't even make a profit.

Zhao Ri Securities Investment Trust.

Though apartments are high in value, the market continues to drop

as demand remains stagnant Song-bin and Xin-ya reporting for SETN.

Guo Sheng-tai, one of Taiwan's wanted fugitives,

was arrested yesterday in Bangkok.

He is being extradited back to Taiwan by the authorities.

Guo, who committed numerous accounts of criminal offenses,

had successfully evaded capture many times.

After leaving the country five years ago,

the authorities offered a million dollars for his arrest.

He was finally apprehended yesterday,

thanks to the assistance of the Royal Thai Police.

MISSED CALL

In local news, famed stock guru and beauty pageant enthusiast Li Da-zhong

passed away this evening.

He famously made his fortune through stock investments

and became a favorite of the media in 1989

when he was in the pageant industry.

He spent his final days behind bars due to insider trading.

His controversial life came to an end today.

I knew you'd come in at the mention of a bonus.

Aside from what was promised, how much more can you give me?

From the speed of your footsteps, I can guess if we made money or not.

All boxed up? So quick.

Why'd you even bother coming in?

Just ignore all your calls, why don't you?

You didn't answer my question. How much is my bonus?

Fifty thousand dollars.

Just wire me $70,000 when the time comes.

I'm sure the company has more to give.

Keep it as a souvenir.

CHEN CHE DEPUTY MANAGER

Chen Che. Chen Che!

Sir. The accounting department delivered this report.

We didn't commit any violation in Mr. Guo's order.

Che placed multiple hedges as a safety precaution.

Not only did we avoid losses today, we increased profit by 2 percent.

The net income is now over 10 percent.

We'll have enough for incentive bonuses.

How is that possible?

Chen Che.

Chen Che! Chen Che!

Stay with the company.

If you're not satisfied with the terms of the contract, we can renegotiate.

Well, then... what is it that you think I want?

Why do you behave like this?

Why are you so cold and stubborn?

How long have we known each other?

Think about the things we've been through.

-Didn't your parents teach you manners? -Don't you dare talk about my parents!

Didn't your parents teach you manners?

Where should we go?

I heard the buffet downstairs is good.

Ya-juan. We're going to the buffet across the street.

Want to join us?

Oh, no, thank you.

Why don't you go first? I'll meet you there.

Here, let me help you.

-Let's finish this, so you can join us. -Sir, just let me do it.

You should go and join them.

It's okay, I have time to spare.

It's okay. Sir. Just let me.

Thank you.

Ya-juan, you've been with us for over two years.

But no one really knows you.

We're about to organize a company trip.

Why don't you join us and get to know the others?

It's not convenient for me.

Well, then...

I'll stop pushing you.

Hello?

Yes, speaking.

YEB TAILOR

Mr. Chen, just a moment. I'll be right back.

Mr. Chen. What a coincidence. What are you doing here?

Here's my business card. My name is Lily Wu.

Not even a glance?

Isn't that a little rude?

Obviously, this isn't a place you'd frequent.

I presume you got wind that I quit my job and came to make an offer?

How about this?

We can skip the formalities. I'll just give you my answer.

So, what is your answer?

Not interested.

Have other companies already contacted you?

Or would you like to hear more about what our company has to offer?

You won't regret this. Our company can give you--

A managerial position or higher, with doubled salary, if not more.

Mr. Chen, your suit is ready.

I'm a bit short on cash. Do you accept credit cards?

Keep your money.

Since the '80s, the owner of this shop has upheld a tradition.

All suits made here come with a lifetime warranty.

As long as you wear this suit, we'll mend it for free.

When a suit comes with a lifetime warranty,

its quality goes without saying.

Same goes for public relations.

By sending a beauty like you,

I can estimate what your company can offer.

I apologize.

To me, money is not the issue right now.

Please come again.

He's as tough to crack as the rumors say.

MOM

Hi, Mom.

Mom. What's going on?

People at the nursing home said your grandpa isn't doing well lately.

He's been confused and wanders about aimlessly.

An accident occurred this time. He fell from the second floor.

Doctor. How's my father?

I've taken care of his injuries and put a cast on his fractures.

Fortunately, he doesn't have a concussion. You may see him now.

Thank you.

Dad.

How do you feel?

Christmas is coming.

Listen.

It's the sound of Christmas.

I want to go.

I want to go. I want to go.

No, wait.

Christmas is over...

Get Li Jin-qin in here.

He'll take care of it.

He will take responsibility.

Dad.

No, no, no.

Ya-juan doesn't want him.

-Dad. -She wants to keep the child.

Stop talking and rest.

She wants to raise the child alone.

Dad, stop talking!

Ya-juan.

I'm so sorry.

We shouldn't have kept you and Jin-qin apart.

-Your mother... -Dad!

Just stop talking.

Your mother regretted not forgiving you.

She regretted it.

She regretted abandoning you and Che.

Your mother regretted it.

-Okay, Dad. -Your mom regretted it.

-Sir, calm down. -You and Che...

-Just calm down. -Your mother regretted it.

Please calm down, sir.

Calm down.

-She regretted it. -Calm down, sir.

Mom.

I asked you once in middle school.

I also asked you when I turned 18...

and once more when I graduated college.

Now I ask you again.

Where is my father?

He...

-He's dead. -Stop telling me that.

If he's dead, then there should be a grave and records

and things to remember him by, but I've never even seen a photo of him.

He really is dead.

Who's Li Jin-qin? Grandpa said, "He will take responsibility."

Did it mean to take care of us?

Think about it. Your grandpa has dementia.

There's no logic to his words.

That doesn't mean it's a lie.

This Li Jin-qin exists because Grandpa recalls his name.

Tell me who he is. Or just tell me who my father is.

Chen Che.

I'll tell you one last time.

He's dead.

He's dead! He's dead! He's dead!

You can't avoid this question forever!

I'll ask you today, I'll ask you tomorrow, and I'll ask you again the day after!

I'm not letting this go without a real answer.

Everyone has a father...

so I must have one, too.

Growing up, I never pushed for an answer. When I did, you became distant

and ignored me for days.

He might have hurt you, I get it.

But you're hurting me, too!

Because of you...

I didn't know I had a grandpa till I was in college.

Because of your stubbornness... I've never met my father.

If you still care about how your son feels...

you will tell me who I am.

Tell me!
