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

Hello?

GM Xiong?

Oh, uh...

The headhunter, Mr. Lin, asked to meet for dinner tonight.

Again? What did you say?

I said I'd have to ask for instruction.

Ask Chairman Zheng. Why are you telling me?

Didn't you tell me to report back to you if anyone makes an appointment with him?

Hui Cheng Gong, let me repeat.

You moron! I said woman! Report to me if a woman wants to meet him!

A moment of stupidity.

I'm a moron.

Stop pretending to be dumb.

You didn't call for me, did you?

I did, GM Xiong!

There are police. I'm going to hang up.

Does Hui Cheng Gong like you?

Listen for yourself.

This doesn't count as invasion of privacy.

I'm letting you hear it.

Let's go watch a movie tonight at a theater near your place.

Beat it.

The two of them are being intimate in the living room.

I don't have anywhere to go.

How about a late night snack? My treat.

The brat even mentioned us?

Beat it.

I can't believe you.

I'll be driving. You won't have to do anything.

I don't believe staying at home is fun.

Private use of company vehicle.

Beat it.

When did this start?

He began hitting on me before I started working here.

You knew each other before?

After the interview

he called me to talk about main points for the second round of interviews.

Bull! We don't have a second round!

How was I to know back then?

So he asked you out?

Did you go?

I said, "Beat it."

Well done.

Women need to remain detached and make it hard for them.

Now that Chief Xia's was fired, everyone around him is panicking.

Everybody's on the "three noes policy."

No going out, no seeing people, no picking up the phone.

There's no news at all.

What we can be certain of is Chief Xia's secretary, Xian He

his brother-in-law, Qin Zheng Yi, and Luo Yi Ren

have all been taken in.

How many days has it been?

Tuesday 2 weeks ago. It's been 19 days.

If they're just assisting with the investigation, they should be out.

Who says?

It's only been two weeks.

It's an investigation, not a tea party.

They're all in the middle of the scandal. They won't be let off so easily.

It all hinges on

if Luo Yi Ren carried out illegal activities while running Zhong Bao Media.

It's not important either way.

Maybe the origins of Zhong Bao were questionable to begin with.

Such a large company just sprung up out of nothing.

Where did Luo Yi Ren get so much money?

State-owned projects line up to work with her.

For what motive?

Valley was lucky.

Before listing on the NYSE

they were still in merger talks with Zhong Bao.

Luckily, that didn't pan out.

Word through the grapevine is

Chairman Meng received Luo Yi Ren's hint of trouble up ahead.

Soon after, Valley announced the merger failed.

I saw a rumor like that online.

If the merger had been successful...

Luo Yi Ren would have harmed Valley.

I think it's not that the merger talks weren't successful

but that she foresaw this and withdrew.

Yi Ren is very loyal to friends.

Oh?

It seems you're attuned to Luo Yi Ren and it's remote sensing.

Our guy in charge of finance back at headquarters said

he's certain Luo Yi Ren got wind of Chief Xia's looming plight beforehand.

She reckoned she was doomed

and thus, rightly turned down Meng Zi Jing.

Our director said she rightly turned him down.

You said she foresaw and stayed loyal.

It seems those are the facts.

Great minds think alike.

No matter how good Luo Yi Ren is at business

she wouldn't be one to be corrupted by money.

When I was at my lowest, she helped me out twice with money.

They weren't small amounts.

That's normal considering the relationship between you two.

No.

Do you think friends and family will always help when you're in need?

You're too naive.

It's often the opposite now.

Fall out and become enemies and see how superficial relationships are.

Luo Yi Ren isn't someone like that.

She is someone who shares her wealth when she has the means.

Looks like the saucy and passionate Xiong Qing Chun

still can't chase away Luo Yi Ren from his heart.

Lin Bai, you know this.

Xiong Qing Chun is in my heart

but that doesn't hinder me from assessing Luo Yi Ren.

My contacts in Beijing are null now.

I don't know who I should ask either.

Help me find news of her. I am worried.

I will.

I'm also interested in them.

There's a piece of business I want you to consider.

No need to reply back to me within the week.

Your appearance always brings the unusual changes.

GM Xiong, it's just the two of them.

They're talking agreeably.

- Have you eaten yet? - Yes.

Have you? Do you need me to bring something back for you?

No, I've also eaten.

Okay, bye.

This originates from an immigration consultancy firm.

They found Vice Chairman Yuan.

In other words...

My third-party supplementary salary is from this immigration consultancy?

Correct.

It was confidential at the time.

It's no longer a secret now?

It's not, but it's still your private matter.

I understand.

I'm also working for this intermediary immigration consultancy

but in secret...

while my work for Bank of the Mediterranean is public.

That's a clear understanding.

I also thought the third-party supplement was because of taxes.

It seems I was wrong.

Not entirely.

This is just an ingenious business move.

This company wouldn't pay me for nothing. Is it the time to reveal everything now?

That's exactly what I want to talk to you about, Qiu Dong.

Go on.

This immigration consultancy's parent company has powerful connections.

You're aware that information and data are vital in the service industries.

They want me to steal data from Bank of the Mediterranean.

Since you've beaten me to the chase...

I'll save the preamble and start from the middle.

I can responsibly say to you

there is a lot of data in

the Bank of the Mediterranean database you're in charge of

some of which was also stolen from elsewhere.

Institutions of this kind have all done similar acts.

"Steal" is clearly not the right word.

Let's use this word for now though.

When data from each institution is gathered together

it's called a platform.

In the consumer services scheme of things

information, figures, and data

pass through many hands in many rigorous and standardized institutions.

It grows as it moves around and becomes inseparable.

This is a good thing for the client.

It means the more plentiful data is on a hidden level

the more the service team expands.

The bad thing is

when this data ends up in the hands of unlawful users

it becomes a scandal.

You've seen the "March 15 Gala" special before?

The information of 150 million high-end consumers

flies around in the air like dandelions.

Those who truly work on the industry's platform

are all solemn and connected on a deep level.

Of course, it is also a common sight.

If it's not stealing, then what would my actions be considered?

Sharing of resources.

Data transfer.

That is not strong enough to convince me.

Then that can only mean

you still have a fixed convention of right and wrong in your mind.

Sorry. I have to tell you your conventions are too old-fashioned.

It's not appropriate to apply to today's economic law.

Taking one set of data and transferring it to another place

is something that happens every second in today's business world.

It's just like corporate espionage.

You're outdated, Qiu Dong.

What did you say?

Corporate espionage?

What you are about to do will not cause any harm to anyone

only more service potential.

How is it espionage?

A student who receives an offer from Columbia University

is given a hard time by the visa officer and does not get a visa in the end.

One day, he suddenly receives a call from a stranger

telling him to hurry to the consulate to get his visa in time for school.

Do you know who made the call?

Do you know where they got the student's information?

Doesn't the institution that helped him deserve to have more information?

Lin Bai, don't get worked up. How did the conversation take this turn?

You said all this just to tell me

there are noble reasons for stealing.

Let me ask you. Was the institution that helped the student a charity?

Do they not charge a fee?

Not a charity. Of course they charge fees.
