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

It's Tian Yao.

Hello, Manager Tian?

We're together.

Yes, go ahead.

Terrible. We can't even have free time together on the weekend?

Take it.

Hello, Manager Tian?

Bank of the Mediterranean?

I remember. Of course I do.

Manager Bi?

Where are you guys?

Okay, come over now.

Yes, it's safe.

This is the safest place.

They're here.

Headhunters are always busy on weekends.

Manager Bi, it's been a long time. You still remember me?

Not me. It was Gaston. You still remember him, yes?

He is now the general manager of the China region.

Mr. Bi is now the director of the Hangzhou branch.

Director Bi, you've been promoted.

No break, even on weekends.

I really want to drag that guy over here and put him on the grill.

Straight to the grill without cutting him up?

And you! You're up first.

You recruited someone named Bian Chong for an offshore company, didn't you?

The company's name is Qiao Ke Tan.

The one in charge was Dong Wei Lian.

Gaston and Bian Chong worked together before.

They both praised you a lot.

Is that so?

That's my reward for doing well.

Thank them for me.

In terms of human resources

Bank of the Mediterranean has always had a regular cooperative partner.

But the results are always a bit...

Unsatisfactory?

So you're looking for a new partner

for example, someone like me who has been highly praised.

That's it.

Tell me, Director Bi.

We know each other well. Please be direct.

It's simple.

As you know, Bank of the Mediterranean has always devoted effort

to promoting innovative personal banking.

Now we take it to the next level.

We're setting up a flagship for personal banking

with a subbranch in Beijing.

We're coming to you for bank president candidates.

The proposed task seems difficult.

He's gotten up to think.

Shameless flatter.

"There's nothing you can't do, Zheng Qiu Dong!"

Moving on to money.

"If it doesn't pay well, how can I afford to support such a pretty girlfriend?"

"She sure is a beauty."

"A gorgeous woman."

"A beauty?"

"She went to Korea for plastic surgery."

All right, please send us the job description on Monday.

We also need to learn more about your industry's strategies

especially your bank's.

We'll have someone ready to receive you.

Our objective analysis will be somewhat tedious.

Our final candidate proposal

may not be fully in line with who you're looking for.

That's normal.

We'll just meet with our human resources executive.

Okay.

The contract will be handled by Manager Jia.

She's the one over there. She's also my girlfriend.

She will handle the particulars.

Consider this my acceptance of Bank of the Mediterranean's case.

Okay.

Your girlfriend?

No wonder she looks so familiar.

Back when you were working for us, she often came to pick you up, right?

I've seen her many times.

I remember her.

No, that was my ex-girlfriend.

My ex-girlfriend had short hair.

This one has long hair.

The one in front?

Oh, it really is.

This one's good. She's prettier than the one before.

About the same. She just has longer hair.

Don't mention the ex in front of her later.

I understand. She'll get jealous.

My wife is even worse.

When we go out, I can't even look around.

Not even at middle-aged women.

It's that serious?

What about seniors?

Chairman Lin, everything has been replaced.

It's Vice Chairman Lin.

Go on.

Congratulations, Lin Bai

on being promoted to vice chairman and joining the ranks of executives.

It just happened a few minutes ago. How did you know?

You're unbelievable!

Do you have an informer in our office?

- Hello? - Congratulations, Vice Chairman Lin.

I'm the first to call to congratulate, right?

Yi Ren?

You're too impressive. Where are you?

I'm in Korea for some talks.

Work?

You could say that.

How did you know?

I was just promoted. Even my wife doesn't know yet.

I'm in Seoul. Facebook.

No way.

Do you look me up when you have nothing to do?

Of course not.

But I have been looking you up lately.

Oops, I let that slip. I revealed a secret plan.

You have, haven't you?

What plan is it? Spill it.

I can tell you, but you have to swear you'll be the only one to know.

You can't tell anyone, not even your wife or Zheng Qiu Dong.

Then... it's better if I don't know.

The bar is too high. I have rather low standards.

Too late. You can't back out now. You'll have to listen.

You've baited me. I can't even shake you off now.

I'm not joking, Lin Bai.

You're a brother to me.

We're not strangers. I'm serious.

I do have a pretty big plan in the works

but it has to be secret for the time being.

I can't say much over the phone.

I return to Beijing tomorrow.

If...

If you're not busy, it's best if you can come to Beijing.

Let's meet in person.

This has to do with you too.

I have urgent business in Beijing so I can't go to Hangzhou to see you.

Why don't you come?

You can decide for yourself

whether this is considered a secret and whether you want to take part.

You just need to keep the secret for two days.

This is intriguing enough.

At the very least, you have me hooked.

This is just the beginning.

If you're busy and can't come tomorrow

I can go to Hangzhou next week after my work is done.

You can decide whether you come or I go.

Since you say that, I have no choice but to be the gentleman.

Hold on.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow is fine but it'll have to be a same-day roundtrip.

Is an afternoon enough?

Plenty.

As expected from you.

I land in Beijing at 11 a.m. tomorrow.

Let's meet at 1 p.m.

I'll send you the location details later.

Okay. There's already so much mystery.

I won't even try connecting the dots.

CIA?

CIA versus KGB.

You're outdated. The KGB doesn't exist anymore.

It's called the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation now.

All right, I have to go book my flight.

No need to. I just booked it for you.

Air China flight CA5566.

It takes off at 9:55 a.m. tomorrow.

You just need to pick up your ticket at the airport.

No way. You have my ID card?

Just your ID number.

You're so forgetful.

When I was at Zhong Bao Media, we signed an outsourcing contract with you.

You signed it with your name and ID number.

I know how to look things up.

Do you think I'm really dumb and stupid?

How stupid is the one who calls you stupid?

I'd never say that even if it kills me.

All right, I'll see you tomorrow then.

Again, don't tell anyone about this before we meet tomorrow.

One word: okay.

What you're holding is an extra confidential job description.

There are a few censored keywords that the bank requested.

Read it later. Listen to me now.

We're a small company and we often have to split up into teams.

On big projects, we have to come together as one.

We're going to be working on a personal banking case.

At present, only Manager Tian and I have some understanding of that.

That means this will be a great learning opportunity for us.

Let me first give you an analysis of the provided job description.

We'll skip number one since it's a basic requirement.

We'll start with number two.

Two, responsible for the subbranch's loans and checking

asset appraisal, credit risk control

and nonperforming assets collection, maintenance, and solutions.

I'll now go over asset appraisal and credit risk control.

You had no idea?

I didn't know at all.

I was going to leisurely spend time with you during your pregnancy

but it seems I'll be busy again.

No fun! No fun at all.

When you're busy, I feel listless.
