- Hey Mom. - What took you so long to answer the phone?

Daydreaming again? Let me ask you.

How are things going with Sun Yan?

Mom, do not worry. Once the outcome of my probation comes out,

I will go with him overseas to take our wedding photos.

Okay, I'll talk to you later. I'm about to be late.

My name is Ye Xiao Bai. I am from Xi'an.

Ever since I was young, I've been that model child of another family's that everyone talks about.

Using my extraordinary memory, I have become one of the top academic overachievers.

My mother once came across a movie called, "White Lotus".

She so loved the character of the queen she

gave me the name, "Xiao Bai."

Who would have thought that, over twenty years later, 'White Lotus' and 'Xiao Bai'

would become the most degrading words in the vocabulary to insult people with.

Especially at the securities company where I work in the middle of Shenzhen's central business district.

'Xiao Bai', to a career woman,

is the worst possible insult.

- You're here. - Good morning.

- Director Gao. - You look prettier without lipstick.

This is Director Gao. Gao Shan.

People in the Jianghu and Hunan say they love the mountains and beauties,

but I reckon he loves women a bit more.

- The Demon King! - Morning, Director Guan.

- Director Guan is here! Director Guan is here! - Morning.

Maggie, what are you still doing here?

- Morning, Director Guan. - Director Guan,

- this is Zhongdu Technology's report. - There are already two mistakes just on the first page.

This is still the data from last week.

Who are you preparing this kind of outdated report for?

- Do it again. - Okay.

Maggie fainted!

What happened? She fainted?

- Are you okay? - Stop looking, call 110.

A pregnant woman should be staying at home.

What are you doing, spending all day competing against a bunch of men?

He's our company's Demon King, Guan Yi He.

The cold and ruthless, Guan Yi He.

This kind of person is actually the dream man for the women at Fengsheng.

There are so many women looking for death, it really is incredible.

I really hate the discriminatory treatment in the office.

We are all working hard on our careers. For men, it is considered ambition,

but for women, it is considered being competitive.

Why can't it be the same?

This is my boss, Mary Zhang.

She is higher than Director Gao by half a rank.

Apparently, the probability of passing probation under her

is less than ten percent.

If you are on probation in Mary's team, the day your probation ends is pretty much

the day you look for a new job.

David and the others will be here very soon. Have you sent everyone the latest version of the presentation yet?

- I sent it, don't worry. - Okay.

Everyone, assemble in the meeting room. That includes those on probation.

The stocks of this British oil company have plummeted by 16 percent in the U.S. stock market.

Since 1998, this is considered a historic low.

Is this presentation really the latest version?

The presentation slides don't look right.

The data is definitely incorrect. My memory can't be wrong.

- However, - How come we made an error at this time?

- international... uh, oil... - What is going on?

Why isn't he talking?

I remember...

- Director Liu, it seems to me that they are not properly prepared. - Yes.

Director Liu, Sister Mary.

This morning, we redrafted the presentation for this project.

But when we were going over it this morning, we encountered a problem.

I apologize. I will correct it right away.

The newest print version of the presentation is on my desk.

Go and bring it over to distribute.

Ye Xiao Bai is pretty good.

In regards to the incident of the offshore drilling platform exploding,

the cost of cleaning up the deep seawater surface has reached several hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars.

If your company completes the acquisition, then the losses caused by the explosion

will also have to be undertaken by your company.

I hope our evaluation and our team have helped your company.

In regards to your professionalism, we're very satisfied.

May we have a pleasant cooperation!

- How are you coming with finding a replacement for Maggie? - How easy do you think it is to find someone on such short notice?

It is just a temporary internal transfer. It should not be that complicated.

- Temporary internal transfer? - Yeah.

I thought you were going to fire Maggie.

Why would I fire Maggie? She just had a miscarriage.

She needs time to recover.

It is not like there is anything wrong with her work capabilities.

If you don't want to fire her then why do you treat her so poorly?

You clearly care for your subordinates, but you put on such a hostile face.

I'm just worried that Shengsheng Fruit's acceptance of our advisory services will be affected.

In case of any mishap, we need to postpone the meeting.

Do not worry, Director Cui has already approved the list of employees who can transfer.

It wasn't easy for me to find someone who was suitable.

From which team? Are they good?

Mary's team has a woman named Ye Xiao Bai.

I feel like she is pretty good.

My honey, I was super great today.

Hello!

Cool girl!

Amazing! In order to join Fengsheng,

you went all out!

Li Xue and I have already been on probation for three months.

Why hasn't Mary said anything about who will be staying as the permanent employee?

What if we are both staying in the end?

This same situation happened two years ago.

They were very slow in announcing the list of names.

Guess what happened at the end.

None of them passed!

It does not matter! Even if you cannot get into Fengsheng and don't have a job,

you still have love. Don't you have a boyfriend?

Right. We are already planning to get married.

- Wait. She's a woman? - What's wrong with that?

What if she is like Maggie

and gets pregnant a few months after starting work?

Then why aren't you comparing her to Mary? Huh?

She may even become a future Career Queen.

Good men do not marry investment banker women.

Good women do not marry investment banker men.

We work a hundred hours a week.

Every day, we definitely will not be home before midnight.

There's someone still willing to marry you like that. True love.

You should cherish what you have.

This is the benefit of having a pure college romance.

Everyone knows each other through and through.

They do not care about these one or two days.

We are even planning to have our honeymoon overseas.

I do not know how many days of marriage leave Fengsheng offers.

That woman must be pretty too, right?

What does that mean?

Am I the type of person who exploits public authority for private affairs?

If you keep being like this, I am going to get angry for real.

But that Ye Xiao Bai is actually pretty great.

She is a graduate student with a finance major from a top university.

You could even say that she has a photographic memory when it comes to data.

Do you really think Mary would pick the wrong person?

Anyway, we should still test this person.

It seems to me that you are just taking a day trip to Fengsheng.

You need to consider carefully, marriage or work,

you can only pick one. Otherwise, you will get divorced, even if you marry.

Shut your crow mouth.

Right, so give part of Maggie's work to her

and see how she finishes it first.

Okay, I will tell Mary that first though.

So as to not let her think that we are stealing her people behind her back when the time comes.

Or make her feel like we are not respecting her, right?

No need.

- I will tell her myself. - You will?

You telling her is, of course, the best.

But... can you do it?

Since I need to beg someone, I need a bit of sincerity.

You are a man. Magnanimous! Upholder of justice.

Let's go. Let's go downstairs for our meeting.

We'll find Mary later tonight.

You, two old classmates, should reminisce about the past. Let's go! (Signaling a past intimate relationship)

- Hello? - Xiao Bai, someone's looking for you.

Are you looking for me?

Are... Are you Ye Xiao Bai?

Yes, and you are?

I wanted, to come here, to talk to you about Sun Yan's matter.

Sun Yan?

Then, let us go to the reception area to discuss it.

- The consensus I reached with Director Li, right then, was basically these points. - Very good.

So far, we have already reached the critical stage of Zhongdu Technology's listing on the share market.

During this time, everyone must be prepared to go to Zhongdu Technology to do the follow-up work.

- Have you all got that? - Yes.

- We better not have any mishaps. Understand? - We understand.

Sister Xiao Bai,

I'm telling you the truth.

Im-Impossible.

I have to find him. Sister Xiao Bia don't be like this.

Sorry, the number you've dialed is unavailable. Please try again later.

Sorry, the number you've dialed is unavailable. Please try again later.

For the preliminary work on the Shengsheng Fruit project, I will bring along

Director Gao and also Maggie.

- That female employee you mentioned just now, quickly find the time to test her. - No problem.

She even came knocking. That still was not enough for her.

Sun Yan and I have been together since college! Where did you pop out from?

Actually, I completely empathize with you.

After all, Sun Yan is a super amazing man. Falling in love with him is not your fault!

What kind of person are you?

Sister Xiao Bai, I don't blame you.

I know you feel bad inside,

but I am about to get married.

I only came to see you because I couldn't handle it anymore.

Look.

This is a wedding photo we took at Honeymoon Island last month.

- You're lying. - Sister Xiao Bai, I beg you. Can you please forgive us?

It isn't possible.

- You're lying to me! - We really are about to get married!

What is going on outside?

I don't care who it is. I am in a meeting so tell them to be quiet.

For me to go over there and directly scold one of Mary's team, that wouldn't be appropriate, would it?

Tell security to come here.

- Director Guan. - Can you turn the air conditioning to the lowest setting in the reception area? That will let them chill out and calm down a bit.

Also, get them both a bottle of water. Tell them If they don't quiet down in 5 minutes

they can both get out!
