Thorn (刺)

I'm Tao Liu.

Are you my Tao?

Ting.

Forgive me.

I can't stand people like Zhang Beilei.

They steal from me.

Let her go.

You're crazy again.

Don't push me.

Eat this.

What can I wear.

Girl.

Don't run.

You'll be happy with me.

Come out.

... And now the news...

Miss Zhang, 16, bullied in a school of our city...

who had run away from her home...

was found dead on Beihai Road this morning.

The police concluded that Zhang committed suicide.

Her family identified the body.

A journalist interviewing Zhang's classmates...

heard that she had been bullied for a long time...

humiliated and slandered...

yet no one heard her complaints.

This tragedy has caused...

the Board of Education...

to report to the Anti-Bullying Committee...

and the institutions concerned.

An investigation is on the way at her school.

Yes, hello.

Hello, Miss Chin...

we are glad to inform you that...

your credit card was drawn at a lottery...

and you won a prize...

Listen to me...

first, you mispronounced my name...

second, if you think I'm a young woman...

you'll never be a good liar.

I'm a police officer...

and you...

Chen Qian.

Hi, Chief Ray.

Are you avoiding me?

No.

You don't seem sure.

Well...

You lost your voice?

I just ate fish...

a bone, stuck in my throat.

Ouch.

You eat fish in the morning?

Drink some milk...

to flush it out.

Yes...

clever advice.

Where's the report?

I'm finishing it.

You'll have it by the end of the day.

At noon...

I want this report at noon.

Chief Ray...

I'm busy this morning.

Yes, you're busy with this report.

I'll come over after the meeting...

I want to see you write it.

You write it.

No way Chen...

even at school, I couldn't write well.

So you see...

I really can't help.

Chen, someone here for you.

Officer Chen.

Uh?

I'm reporting...

my missing girlfriend...

she's disappeared...

Hey, wait.

I don't take missing person's reports.

Your colleagues say you're excellent.

You must help me.

No, no.

Officer.

I'm really not that good.

And I'm busy on a report.

Could you...

Sorry, I can't help you.

Officer.

What?

Let me go.

I'm begging you.

Hey.

Officer Chen.

...

What are you doing?

Officer Chen, this is a serious matter.

I looked for her all night.

At her father's grave too.

It's the 10th anniversary of his death.

This is a serious matter.

Come on Chen.

She was seeing a psychologist lately.

She already hurt herself before.

I fear the worst.

What...

if you allow me...

What's your girlfriend's name?

Her name is Ting Han.

Congratulations Ting.

We love you Ting.

Ting, we're your fans.

Congrats.

You're great.

Congratulations.

Congratulations, cut the cake.

Excuse me.

She doesn't seem pleased.

What's going on here?

I don't know.

What just happened?

It's over.

You liked it?

The surprise?

President Qian.

What surprise? I signed the bill for the cake and flowers.

Here's the resume of an applicant.

For the Planning Dept. again?

I see how hard you work?

You really need an assistant.

She's right here...

just see her.

Come on, move on.

This is a surprise.

We meet again in another world.

Yes...

this is a surprise.

After so many years.

Ten years.

How are you?

I'm very well.

How about you?

Well...

it's all written there, in your hands.

I don't see how you qualify.

There's nothing here about travel agency experience.

Why did you apply at all?

Ting.

Forgive me.

Forgive what?

About everything...

please forgive me.

Forgive me for everything.

I have nothing to forgive you.

After the event...

I actually found your address...

But you had moved.

Are you here to chat?

If you don't want to talk to me, I'll go...

and you'll never see me again.

Ting.

Could you proceed quickly with the applicant?

Ting's last call before her disappearance...

was 4 pm yesterday.

She called the 15710678260.

It's Tao Liu.

You know it?

Tao Liu and Ting...

both worked in my company.

Actually we were classmates in high school.

Tao Liu and Ting...

had a tight relationship.

They shared a desk.

So much happened...

this is a long story.

Why should I hire her?

This is my decision...

I can't let you make it for me.

Look...

the more I praise you, the more demands you have.

Ever since I joined the company...

you assigned me to the most tedious tasks.

And so, among all your colleagues...

you got the fastest promotion.

Your efforts are well rewarded.

Spare me the promotion...

and strictly within the scope of my tasks...

grant me the freedom I need.

Freedom you say?

The homeless are free like birds...

they can travel anywhere.

But in the workplace...

not even I have freedom.

Hi Mom.

So? The interview?

Thank your uncle.

His travel agency is successful.

How's the salary?

Mom, I'd rather not work here?

What did you say?

You see Tao Liu...
