Isn’t that the female CEO of Xinghe Group? She’s about to jump off the building. Yeah. I heard the company went bankrupt. Should we help her or not? Who dares to help in today’s society? What are you thinking about? Miss, you’re still so young. You’ve got your whole life ahead of you. Life is beautiful, you know? Why would you want to give up? Wait. Sir, who are you? I… I’m not trying to jump. I… I’m just in a bad mood. I wanted to be alone for a bit. But you’re sitting here in a bad mood? This is way too dangerous. Yeah, it’s actually kind of risky. If you fall off, well, then that’s that. It’s up to you. Honestly, I was thinking about going home and having a drink by myself. Let’s have some now. Just the two of us. You know what, this is my first time having a drink in a place like this. Heh, it’s kind of fun. It’s so peaceful and comfortable here. Pretty romantic, actually. Sir, sometimes I really envy people like you, regular folks. Even though you don’t have much, at least you don’t have all these worries. Heh, it feels like you’re insulting me, but I can’t prove it. No, no, that’s not what I meant. I really just envy you guys, not having any troubles. I take back what I just said. I’m just a security guard, but that doesn’t mean I’m poor. Anyway, thank you for today. I think you’re right. I’m still young. Even if Xinghe is about to go under, it hasn’t collapsed yet, right? I’ve got hundreds of people at my company counting on me. How could I just give up? I need to keep fighting. Xinghe Group, right? I know a bit about your situation. Yeah. You guys are relying too much on real estate leverage, which is causing major cash flow problems. It’s not as bad as you think. First, look into your own internal corruption. Make those people cough up the money. Then, go to the bank, ask for a three-month extension on your payments. Finally, cut about thirty percent of your staff. That should get you through this rough patch. Oh, and in your situation, you’re trying to do way too much. Pull back on all those unprofitable investment projects. You should be able to survive. It’s really not that big of a deal. Why get so worked up? Are you really a security guard? Yeah. Alright, time to head home. Ah, gotta go walk my dog. If I don’t hurry, he’ll tear up the house. I’m out. Hello? Boss, are you coming to this year’s board meeting? Hell no, I’m walking my dog. Bye. Wait, hold on, you haven’t even told me your name yet. Zhang Tianqi. Just do what I said earlier. I want to see results in three days. Also, stop all the Greenfield projects. President Li, the Greenfield projects already have loans from the bank. If we stop them now I said stop them. That’s it, meeting’s over. Make sure to investigate that person who was so invested in the Greenfield project. Who knows how many kickbacks they’ve taken. Yes, President Li. Zhang Tianqi. Sihai City is huge, Zhang Tianqi, you’re just a security guard, where am I supposed to find you? Ma’am, I’ll have a bowl of beef noodles, extra beef, please. Coming right up. Thank you! Wow, sir, extra beef, huh? Can you even afford that? Not me, but this guy’s pretty good-looking. Sir, how about I buy you this bowl of noodles? Nah, no need, I’ll treat you guys. Limited edition Maybach. Isn’t that Zhang Ling, the rising entrepreneur from Sihai City? Yeah, yeah, that’s right. I’ve seen him on TV before. He’s really handsome. Dad. Why are you still working as a security guard here? Dad. What else would I be doing? Hey. What’s up, big boss? Are you inviting me out for dinner? Guess I can skip this bowl of noodles then. What’s the matter, Old Zhang? You think my noodles aren’t good enough? No, no, not at all. Your noodles are amazing. It’s just this kid trying to steal my food. No, hey. Dad. Recently, someone important is coming to Sihai City. Zhou Tian is coming. There’s a huge banquet being organized. I don’t want outsiders to know my dad works as a security guard here. So, can you just keep a low profile for a while? Zhou Tian? You mean that kid Zhou Tian? What’s he coming here for? Big brother. Hey. No, Dad, do you know him? Still calling him that kid. Stop acting all tough. He’s the president of the Financial Alliance. He’s coming to Sihai to invest. He’s organizing a big gathering for entrepreneurs. I’m begging you, just let your son get this investment, okay? If you get the investment, what’s that got to do with me? I’ll buy you a villa. Do I need you to buy one for me? Wait, Dad, I’m your son. How does someone else investing in me have nothing to do with you? I’m begging you, Dad, please don’t mess things up, okay? If word gets out that my dad’s a security guard, people will think think I’m not taking care of you. Alright, how about this? I’ll explain to Zhou Tian, just say I chose to be a security guard myself. Security guard, security guard, protecting the peace, right? Oh, and yesterday, I even saved a woman entrepreneur who was about to jump into the river. Hey, so you actually know Zhou Tian? You’re working here as a security guard, and you don’t even get weekends off. Alright, alright. Got it. Go get busy. Take your time eating. Boss, one bowl of zhajiang noodles. You got it. Hey man, mind if I share this table? Sit wherever you like, no need to be polite. It’s you. I was just thinking it’d be impossible to find you. What a coincidence. What’s wrong? Looks like you’ve thought things through. Stop. That’s President Li. President Zhang, your meeting is about to start. Must’ve been my eyes playing tricks. Let’s go. What’s wrong? Looks like you’ve decided not to jump. Thank you. Hmph. So you really are a security guard. What else would I be? Do I not look the part? Do I look like I’m cosplaying? Yo, Old Zhang. Where’d you meet such a gorgeous lady? Hey, this, this, this, we met yesterday. Boss, where’s my noodles? Why aren’t they here yet? Coming right up. Have a drink with me tonight. Can’t, I got plans tonight. You’re a security guard, what plans could you possibly have? Do I really need to explain to you? A gorgeous woman asking you out at night, and I’m actually getting turned down for the first time. Hmph. Hmm. How much do you make a day? One fifty. Alright. What the I’ll give you five hundred for the whole night. Whoa, lady, I sell my talent, not my body. Who’s your lady, huh? Besides, I’m not after your body. I just want someone to have a drink with me. Ha. Hey. This feels good. So much I can’t say to people at work. Go ahead. The company keeps growing, but friends, they just keep disappearing. And here I am telling all this to a guy I just met yesterday. Haha. You sure have a lot of secrets. Do you believe what I’m telling you? I do. You’re not afraid I’ll lie to you? Ha, nobody can fool me. And you? Do you lie? Nope. I think in this life, if you tell one lie, you need a bunch more to cover it up. It’s a huge price to pay. So I just stick to telling the truth. Uncle. Hmm? Be my boyfriend. Wait, you’re young enough to be my daughter, and you want me as your boyfriend? Besides, I have a son. You You’re married? Nope. That’s pretty modern, huh? Having a kid without getting married. Don’t make stuff up. I don’t have a girlfriend. Then where’d you get your son? I adopted him. Why am I even telling you all this? Why do you care? He’s my biological son. Wow, that’s kind-hearted. Never would’ve guessed. First time I’ve ever made the first move, and I still get rejected. Bad uncle. Come on, beautiful, we only met yesterday. Alright, it’s getting late. I’m heading home to sleep. Wait. What? Ten thousand bucks. Tomorrow, buying one day of your time. Wait, what? Be my boyfriend. I’ve always told everyone I have a boyfriend. Tomorrow’s banquet is a big deal. I have to attend. Chairman Zhou Tian Chairman Zhou Tian from the Daxia Alliance sent me two invitations. So I have to bring a guy with me. Uncle, just be my boyfriend and come with me. Man, Zhou Tian really knows how to mess with me. You know Zhou Tian too? Of course I do, is that so hard? Hahaha. Zhou Tian, he’s the chairman of the Daxia Financial Alliance, top of the pyramid. I’ve never met him. How could you have met him? Me? Forget it, forget it, forget it. Just be my boyfriend, okay? Come with me. What if I say no? Oh, I’d be so miserable, I’d have to jump off a building again. Ahh! How are you so shameless? You’re just trying to guilt-trip me, huh? Me, a weak woman, managing Xinghe Group all the way to the top of real estate, do you think I care about dignity? Uncle, I’m begging you, just be my boyfriend for one day, please, please? Alright, alright, I’ll go. You’re the best. Old Zhang, hmm? If we’re gonna put on a show, we gotta go all out. What do you mean all out? I’m not doing anything shady. Be serious, I’m warning you. Listen, tomorrow’s banquet is super important to me. So, don’t embarrass me. Then why ask me? It’s crucial for Xinghe too. There are too many moles inside Xinghe now, I can’t risk bringing anyone else to meet Zhou Tian. So I’m just gonna have to trouble you. Let me teach you some banquet etiquette and basic knowledge. Hey, you don’t need to teach me that. I know this stuff. You, a security guard, know this? This knife is for steak. You hold the wine glass by the stem. There’s no napkin inside. So, make sure you have a handkerchief ready. That’s pretty much it. Crude words, but makes sense. Alright, I’ll teach you how to taste wine. Wait. Hey. Hey. Most of what you have in here is Boston wine. By the way, the top shelf in your wine cabinet, should be your prized Lafite. I’ve got some bad news for you. It’s a fake. A fake? Uh-oh. Well, not exactly fake. It is Lafite, but the vintage is forged. This is new wine, not old wine. You got tricked by the packaging. Huh? Huh, my foot. Old wine has a shade of red with a little bit of gray mixed in. Yours is just pure bright red. That’s new wine. I’m an old wine lover, and you’re trying to teach me about wine? Seriously? Are you really just a security guard? What else would I be? You think this security uniform is fake? No, you’re legit. Uncle, I’m going to chase after you. Me? Sorry, I need to go home and sleep. Bye. It’s seven o’clock. Where’s this Zhang Tianqi? He only replied to my WeChat once. Wow, you actually showed up. Come on, I told you today’s Zhou’s banquet, and you still wore your security uniform? Didn’t I tell you? I asked for leave at six-thirty, your event started at seven, so I came straight over. Didn’t have time to go home and change. See, I knew you’d be unreliable. Good thing I’m smart, I got you something brand new for tonight, and this too. Go, go, hurry up. What, you want to sneak a peek? Come on, take a good look. It’s not like I have a six-pack anyway. Shameless. All changed. You really are a security guard? Didn’t you just see me clock out? Maybe my impression of security guards is still stuck on old guys. So, do I look old to you? Let’s go. Are security guards this impressive now? My first time at an event like this, I was nervous for ages. Isn’t that the boyfriend of Xinghe Group’s Li Huayue? Wow, he’s really handsome. Handsome is one thing, but so what? What’s his background? I’ve never heard of him. Never even seen him. Who’s that new face? Whatever, ignore him. He looks kind of familiar. Come on, let’s go say hi. Huayue, long time no see. And this is? Your boyfriend? Yeah, handsome, right? Hi, I’m Xiao Ran, I work in finance. And my boyfriend, he’s in Zhang Tianqi. I’ve worked in finance too. Zhang Tianqi. Wait, you know me? Uh, no, don’t know you, just thought you looked familiar, but we’ve never met. Didn’t expect you to be a finance big shot. Nice to meet you. I wouldn’t say that, nice to meet you. What’s up? Finance is a deep game, don’t pretend. What? It’s easy to get recognized. The finance world is pretty deep, so I quit a long time ago. But I think, gold’s about to skyrocket soon. Huh? Don’t take him seriously, Old Zhang quit finance ages ago. No way, no way, haha. No, really, tell us more. Tell us more. There’s not much to say. The Fed’s about to raise rates, so gold’s bound to jump. Isn’t that insider info from the old man? Who is this guy? How does he know that? Hello, President Guo. President Zhang, right? Nice to meet you. Hope I’m not interrupting. Not at all, we’re just chatting. Sorry, been so busy, didn’t get a chance to say hi. Let me introduce, Guo Ziyi, also in real estate, same field as your wife. You know him? Yeah, I know him. Tiansheng Group is President Guo’s. Oh, Tiansheng Group. No wonder you’re so busy. Didn’t you just win the Sanhe New Land project recently? President Guo, you got the Sanhe New Land project? Isn’t it still in the bidding phase? Sorry, President Zhang, Tiansheng Group isn’t quite strong enough. Sanhe New Land, I wouldn’t dare dream about it. Really? Didn’t you already ask Chairman Zhao from the Real Estate Alliance to help? I thought you already had it in the bag. No, no, not at all. Chairman Zhao wouldn’t speak up for me. Oh, President Guo, sorry, Tianqi’s just joking, don’t take it seriously. Offended? How could I be offended? President Zhang and I just clicked. Actually, I wanted to talk to your wife, borrow a few minutes of President Zhang’s time, so I could have a good chat. President Zhang, let me toast you, let’s talk business. Dorothy Winery’s ’87 Cabernet. Wow, President Zhang knows his wine. Great, I brought a top Malbec from Lafite. a top Malbec from Lafite. a top Malbec from Lafite. Let’s go taste it. Yeah. Let’s try it. President Zhang, you really put me on the spot. The Sanhe New Land project, I did get it through Chairman Zhao, but I haven’t made it public yet. Oh, trying to make a move in the stock market? Ha, nothing gets past President Zhang. Everyone, let me introduce, this is President Zhang. Hello, President Zhang. Not even in the same league. No, that’s not what I meant. Not what I meant. I mean you’re younger than him. This Zhang Tianqi, I keep thinking he looks just like the security guard at our company. Same name too. What security guard? Our company’s security guard is also named Zhang Tianqi. Looks just like him. Li Bo, are you kidding me? Why would I kid you? Here, I’ll show you. Our family runs a security company, we can check all the security guards in the city. Here, I’ll pull it up for you. Look, isn’t it exactly the same? See? That haircut, look at those crow’s feet, it’s uncanny. Alright, come on, let’s go. What’s wrong, President Xiao? Take a look. These signatures are almost identical. It’s clearly the same person. But he said gold prices would go up. About that… Are you serious? Gold can only go up or down. It’s a fifty-fifty chance, not hard to guess. He also mentioned the US raising interest rates. Let me ask you, have you ever seen the US cut rates? Come to think of it, no. President Guo. Just call me Ziyi, or Little Guo is fine too. Stop calling me President Guo, it sounds too formal. No, Ziyi just sounds kind of weird. I’ll stick with Little Guo. That’s more like it. Everyone, I suggest when Mr. Zhou arrives later, President Zhang leads us to toast Mr. Zhou. How about it? Sounds good. Great. Wait, me, toast him? Forget it. Sister-in-law. Sister-in-law. Wait, me? Are there any other sister-in-laws here? Uh, Sister-in-law, about the partnership you mentioned last time, I just thought it over carefully, I think it’ll work. Let’s go ahead and sign the contract soon. Uh, Actually, at this time, signing with me might not be in your best interest. How about this, I’ll go back and revise the contract, then we can No need to revise it. Who cares about getting the short end of the stick? Whatever I lost with you, just now, President Zhang gave me some advice, and I made it all back. Sister-in-law, what is President Zhang doing these days? We’ve been asking all day, President Zhang said he’s done manufacturing, finance, even dabbled in tech. But what does he do now? He never said. Come on, tell us. We’re all dying to know. Yeah, Sister-in-law, tell us. Right now, he’s doing I know what he’s doing now. President Xiao. What? You know? I just found out myself. Xiao Ran, you Huayue, he’s been lying to you. He’s fooled all of us. Zhang Tianqi, he’s just a security guard. Xiao Ran, watch your mouth. Here, President Guo, take a look. This Here, everyone, take a look. Come on, Huayue, you too. President Zhang, what’s going on here? Let me see. Is this me? Isn’t it? What do you think? Huayue, what did I tell you before? One lie leads to a hundred more. Now you get it, right? So, you really are a security guard? I am working as a security guard right now. Security guard? Seriously? Were you playing me? No, I wasn’t. Tianqi, just stop. President Li, I guess you didn’t know about this yet. Huayue, he definitely lied to you, right? I The facts are clear now. He’s just a security guard, pretending to be a millionaire, tricked Huayue, and fooled all of us. It’s fine, it’s all just a misunderstanding. Yeah, I’m a security guard, but this has nothing to do with her. By your logic, she’s a victim too. So I’ll just leave, no need to make it hard for her. Alright, it’s fine. I’m heading out. Just like that? What’s the point? We were all having a good time just now, right, Little Guo? Little Guo. I don’t care about you. President Li, no wonder you got tricked. He’s got something about him, he played all of us. But really, it just means we were all clueless. But, we still have to save face. Mr. Zhou will be here any minute. There’s not much time left. You don’t want Mr. Zhou finding out about this, do you? Get your people to teach him a lesson. That way, for your father’s sake, I’ll pretend none of this happened. Otherwise, we’ll all be pissed, and so will Mr. Zhou. Wait, I get why you’re mad, but why should that Zhou guy be angry? Hmm. That guy, listen to him, with a mouth like that, how could he not deserve a beating? Tianqi. What are you doing? That’s right, he’s a security guard, and he’s my boyfriend. This was all my idea, he had nothing to do with it. Huayue, are you crazy? He just insulted Mr. Zhou, and you’re still defending him? What if Mr. Zhou finds out? Whatever happens, happens. Anyway, all of this started because of me, it has nothing to do with him. Crazy, totally crazy. I am crazy. I’ve had enough. Tianqi, you were right, one lie needs a hundred more to cover it up. I’m sorry, I made you go through all this. Don’t say stupid stuff. You Have you met Mr. Zhou? What’s going on? Mr. Zhou Here’s what happened. Mr. Zhou. He’s my boyfriend. Huh? Sis-in-law. Sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, my ass. Sister-in-law. You really don’t have any sense, do you? Let me borrow him for a bit, okay? What’s wrong with sister-in-law? She just got splashed. It was supposed to be me. Huayue blocked it for me. She got splashed? Who did it? It was you, wasn’t it, kid? It was you, wasn’t it, kid? Mr. Zhang. How should we handle this? How do you even handle this? Mob stuff. Uh, no, no, that’s not it. I’m asking you for instructions, aren’t I? Not Tianqi. What’s going on here? Oh, he’s Zhou Tian. He’s a good friend of mine. Really nice guy. Just always late. Just like you. Hello, sister-in-law. Here, let me help you. Thanks. Alright, I’ll head out then. I just got here. Where are you going? Doesn’t seem like I’m very welcome here. Not welcome? What’s that about? Who’s not welcoming you? Mr. Zhang, who? You’re welcome. We all welcome you. Welcome. Mr. Zhang, weren’t we just having a good conversation? It’s all a misunderstanding. Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Alright, alright. Huayue, want to go for a walk with me? Wait. Sister-in-law, what’s What’s with that attitude, sister-in-law? Mr. Li, hey, haha! Zhang Ling. What are you doing here? I came to see you, didn’t I? You. What’s wrong with you? If you’ve got something to say, just say it. I’m fine. So, uh, didn’t you invest in my project? That makes you my boss now. I just don’t get it. Everything was going fine, why did you suddenly cut my budget and lay people off? I’m the boss. When it comes to money, I make the decisions. But there’s nothing wrong with my project. Right now, the company needs to downsize and get some cash back. You got a problem with that? Yeah, I do have a bit of a problem. I’m not in the mood to talk about work right now. You’re not in the mood, how’s that my problem? Early menopause or something? Dad. Yo. Son. Dad. Yo. Son, what are the odds you’re here too? What do you mean, odds? Why are you here? Are you working as a security guard? No, what security guard? Can’t I just come by after work and take a look around? What are you looking around for? Didn’t I tell you not to wander off these days? Especially here. Do you know what kind of event this is? You showing up here, I You’re embarrassing me, you know? So you’re ashamed of me, huh? I’m not even ashamed of you. You’re ashamed of me! No! My own dad! This party tonight, all the city’s big shots are here. It took me forever to score an invite. And you, just a security guard, even in a suit, you don’t fit in. Can you please not make trouble for me, alright? Oh, so you finally got yourself an invite, that’s why you’re here? Yeah. Then did you ever think why I’m here? Why? Come on, let’s go. Let’s go. Hurry up, let’s go. Hey, Mr. Zhou. You guys Uh, uh, Nothing to do with each other, totally unrelated. Oh, unrelated? Then move out of the way. Huh? Mr. Zhang, I’m a careful driver. Let me give you a ride home. What? Why are you yelling? What? Why are you yelling? I—I—I I—I—I Let’s go. Mr. Zhou, he’s my dad. Your dad? Mr. Zhang. Hmm. This Unrelated. Hey. Oh, not unrelated. No, no, Totally unrelated. Dad, you’re my real dad, how could we be unrelated? Hey, come on. Dad. Hey. Zhang Ling, you really are something. You’d claim anyone as your dad just to network. No, he’s actually my dad. Guess it’s true, heroes come young. To climb the social ladder, you’ll shamelessly go this far. You really are a character. Mr. Guo, he’s really my dad, my real dad. He’s your real dad, alright? No one’s fighting you for him. Hey. Zhang Ling, where are you going? I’m going to check on my dad. Hey, look at that, Zhang Ling’s so desperate to see his dad, he’s gone nuts. Man. If Mr. Zhang really was his dad, then I could apologize to him in person. Just now Mr. Zhou said Mr. Zhang helped him out when he was struggling. That’s a big favor. Xiao Ran, look up your family’s old connections, see if you can smooth things over. You’re right. I’ll call home right now and double-check. Hey, Dad. What? Really? Okay, okay, okay. Yeah, fine, fine, fine. I got it, alright? What happened? Oh man. Right now, we’re not the ones in trouble anymore. Oh man. Right now, we’re not the ones in trouble anymore. What do you mean? Zhou Tian, he’s about to go bankrupt. What? Zhou Tian Bank’s business got hit by foreign investors. Foreign investors? Sanli Investment Bank. Yeah. Sanli Investment Bank has never missed before. Looks like Zhou Tian’s not getting out of this one. I told you, I’m retired. Don’t come to me with business stuff. This time it’s Sanli Investment Bank making a move. So now you can’t hold it together. You left me with so many backup plans. It’s not that I can’t handle it. I’m just a little worried. Worried about what? Worried they’re coming after you. Doesn’t matter. I’m just a security guard now. Don’t worry about any of that. But No buts. You should be careful. Don’t go bankrupt and make me clean up your mess again. Haha, our group isn’t that fragile. I’m just planning to play along, see how deep Sanli Investment Bank really is. If we go bankrupt, it’s just a change of shell, that’s all. Doesn’t matter. Anyway, just be careful. Don’t make me step in again. As long as you’re willing to step in, I’d go bankrupt ten thousand times for it. You’ll still help me make a comeback, right? Hold on a second. Are you cold? What’s wrong? Sorry. What? I said, I’m sorry. Aren’t you tired? The person you should be most sorry to is yourself. How about buy me a drink? Come on, I’m just a security guard. I can’t afford to take you to any fancy places. Wherever you go, I’ll go. Let’s go. What is this? Bread chips. Just toasted bread slices. Never had them? Whoa, isn’t that Tianqi? Hey, hey, done with work? All dressed up for once. I almost didn’t recognize you. You took the day off from standing guard? Trying to get a date here? Get outta here. This is my friend. Haha, got it. Isn’t that the lady boss? Huh? What are you talking about? Boss, bring a plate of grilled eggplant for our lady boss here. Oh, and for our big bro, give him ten skewers of lamb kidney. Old Zhang, I’ll get you twenty skewers. If you can’t finish, take them home. Haha. Hey, what are you doing? There’s no way we can eat that much. For my bro Zhang, add ten more skewers of chives. Put it on my tab. Big bro needs to eat well. Hey, what are you guys messing around for? Huayue, don’t mind them. They don’t mean anything by it. It’s fine, I know. So, all these are your friends? I just have a lot of friends. Guess I’m pretty popular. Hey, what are you doing? Hi, everyone. I’m Li Huayue, also Tianqi’s friend. Wait, hold on, Li Huayue Why does that name sound so familiar? You don’t know? The CEO of Xinghe Group is named Li Huayue. I’ve even delivered food to her company before. Hey, relax, relax. Are you saying Tianqi, this little security guard, actually got the CEO of Xinghe Group as his girlfriend? You must be drunk. People can have the same name, can’t they? That’s more like it. We’re all Tianqi’s friends, so of course we’re all friends here. Since it’s our first time meeting, let me buy everyone a drink. I’ll finish mine, you all do as you like. Wow, you can really hold your liquor. Alright, alright, alright. Tianqi, you really hit the jackpot. A security guard like you ended up with such a great lady boss. Hey, you, watch what you’re saying. Old Zhang, tonight’s on me, but I gotta say, next time, take the lady somewhere nice. If you’re short on cash, I’ll cover it. Alright, alright. If it’s not you, then what? Is there something on my face? Zhang Tianqi. Let’s get married. What are you talking about? What did you just say? You’re drunk. I’m not drunk. I said, let’s get married. No way. I get it now. You think we’re moving too fast. Well, then we can get engaged first. It’s not about me. I give you money every month. I’ll support you. That’s even more out of the question. Do I look like someone who needs money? Honestly, kind of! Haha. I know you know Zhou Tian. But at the end of the day, you’re just a security guard. No, listen I just got the news. Zhou Tian went bankrupt. Ha. He can barely take care of himself now, he definitely can’t help you. What’s that supposed to mean? Why would I need his help? True. If he wanted to help you, you wouldn’t be just a security guard right now. No, that’s not it Hey, Huayue. Marriage is a big deal, it’s not a joke. Plus, I have a son. So what if you have a son? Having a son is great! I get to be a mom with zero effort. No, you’re still young. You’ve got plenty of time ahead, just take a moment and think it through. I am young, but I don’t have time. It’s not what you think. Medicine’s pretty advanced these days. Any illness can be treated, and even if it can’t, you can manage it. What are you talking about? I’m not sick. You scared me for a second. It’s my parents. Yeah. They want me to marry someone else. Oh. At Zhou Tian’s party, weren’t there two invitations? One of them was for him. But I don’t like him. That’s why I asked you to pretend to be my boyfriend. Did you tell him all that? We’re just pretending. But I don’t want to pretend anymore. You really are drunk. Drunk? Last week, me and my friend two bottles of brandy, I got sick and threw up, then I was fine. How could I be drunk now? Fine, then let’s say I’m drunk. I’ll just pretend I misheard. I didn’t hear anything. Yeah, didn’t hear a thing. Alright. Then let me tell you Zhang Tianqi. I want to marry you. Say yes to her! What are you guys hyping her up for? I want to marry you! President Li! I want to marry you! Say yes to her! What are you all doing? Stop messing around. You didn’t hear her, right? Alright, alright, I heard you. I heard you. So you said yes? Let’s talk about it later. We’ll talk. Then let’s talk at my place. I’m not going. My son’s waiting for me at home. Your son? Aren’t you old enough? Your son still needs you? No, wait Hey, hey, hey! Give it back to me! I’m texting your son. Hey, Dad. Where are you? Yeah, he’s drinking with me. Oh. Wait, who are you? Me? I’m—I’m your mom. What are you talking about? What? He’s not coming home tonight, he’s staying at my place. Go do your own thing. What? Hey! Hello? Hello? Hello? Hey! Alright, enough. My dad found me a stepmom. Wait, hold on, why does that voice sound so familiar? Give me my phone back, now! Hey! I seriously can’t with you. Here, take it. No. Are you just going to play dirty now? You started it. How am I playing dirty? What makes me not good enough for you? Why do you keep rejecting me? Come on, I’m begging you, can you please help me? Huayue, you know the only reason you want to be with me is because you don’t want to go along with the marriage your family arranged for you. You’re just running away. So what if I want to run away? But why does it have to be me? Because you’re a good guy. That’s the dumbest reason I’ve ever heard. You don’t want to take advantage of me. Who says I don’t want to? Go ahead, take advantage. You really are a troublemaker. Total delinquent. I’m not the one being a delinquent. Are you losing out here? Me? Hey. Come to my place! I said I’m not going. You’ve already been there, why are you pretending to be shy? I said I’m not going. Going home. Hey, hey! Give me my phone back! My son’s calling me. Then come get it. Fine, fine, I don’t want the phone anymore, okay? Do whatever you want. Don’t forget, my place is at Safe Harbor, number 36. I’ll be waiting for you. I’m not coming. Hello? Hello? Damn. President Li, what a coincidence! Isn’t it though? Oh, so the night market here has some great food. Zhang Ling, you came here with me just to say that? I didn’t follow you, okay? Let me say it again, the company really needs cash flow right now. Your project has been frozen. Do I need to spell it out for you? But, but if my project’s frozen, what am I supposed to do? Well, I’ve got a new project. What project? I can’t just sit around doing nothing. I’ll do any project. Alright. I’m getting engaged. Help me set it up. Okay, I’ll take care of it. Wait, wait, what do you mean, engaged? Is that not okay? I I’ll handle it. President Li, this is your personal matter. Shouldn’t your family be the ones arranging it? I just don’t want my family to know. Just answer me: Are you in or not? President Li, I hope you respect me. I graduated from Qingbei University, started my own team right out of college, built my career from the ground up. I’ve never gotten ahead by sucking up. Fine, I’m pulling my investment from your project. I’m in! I’m in! Wait, President Li, I mean I’ll do it. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure I’ll make sure this project is perfect for you. Alright. Come find me at my place later, Safe Harbor, number 36. We’ll talk about your new project. You old gossip. You really think I’m your son? Dad, why are you here? Hey, hey, hey! Shh, shh, shh. Let’s go. Come on, let’s go. Let’s go, let’s go. Alright, alright. Yo, you’re back! Wait a minute, the chives will be ready soon. Why are you still grilling? Forget it. I’m not eating. It’s not for anyone else. I’m eating it. Son. What are you doing here? You’re really asking me that? I should be asking what you’re doing here. Hey. Is this Zhang Ling? Wow, you really look sharp. Today’s a big day. Uncle, let me get you some chives too. What big day? Your dad, he’s found new love in his old age. He found you a new mom. She’s really something. What? No joke. For real. What are you talking about? Quit saying nonsense. No, Dad, did you really get a girlfriend? Don’t listen to him, he’s just making stuff up. Dad, you finally figured it out, huh? Huh? Stop playing dumb. That call just now, came right to my phone. She straight up called herself my mom. She sounded pretty young, too. Exactly. But her voice, I don’t really like it, honestly. Sounds just like my boss who hit menopause early. What the heck? Hey, Uncle, grill ten more lamb kidneys. You got it. Still grilling? We’ve already had thirty skewers. Can’t eat any more. You don’t get it. You’re getting older, gotta eat to keep up your strength. What do I need to “keep up” for? Eat what, get what, you know? Uncle, grill ten more bull penises. Son. Hey hey hey, Dad, come on, tell us. Tell us about your new girlfriend. How old is she? What’s her name? What does she do? What girlfriend? She’s just in her twenties, I guess. What’s wrong, son? Twenties? Don’t let her scam you, okay? You think I’d get scammed? Honestly, it’s your dad scamming the young lady. Just now, you didn’t see her. She’s really pretty, and has great vibes. You can tell she’s from a good family. And the best part? She’s not stuck-up at all, super nice personality. Just now, she even had a drink with me. She said herself, she’s only gonna marry your dad. Man, I’m jealous. What are you talking about? Had a drink? Dad, is he telling the truth? It’s true, but not how you think. Oh my god, Dad, why are you suddenly so shy? Come on, at your age, you meet someone who likes you, looks good, has a great personality, and great vibes, you should count your blessings. If you end up with someone like my boss, that crazy tiger lady, you’re screwed. Your boss? That project of mine, got someone to invest, right? So I’m basically working for her now. I wanted to go big, but turns out, the boss is nuts. No, I mean, she’s a woman, just two years older than me. She changes her mind faster than flipping a switch. First she agreed to fund my project, half the money came in, then she suddenly pulled the plug. Said she needed her cash back. Yeah, that’s pretty annoying. But that’s not even the worst. That crazy lady even asked me to do her personal errands. Can you believe it? Personal stuff? Like what? She’s getting engaged, asked me to organize it for her. Can you believe that? I’m her employee, not her son. That’s crossing the line, honestly. I’m telling you, look, look, she’s calling me again. Middle of the night, video calling to rush me. I told her, Hey, Ms. Li, hello. Hello? Shut up. What? Not Ms. Li? I wasn’t talking about you, I meant my dad. Oh, your dad. Are you busy right now? No, I’m just having dinner with my dad. Didn’t you drive here? Drive me home later. Huh? Don’t get any ideas, I don’t mean anything by it. Just drive me home, and we’ll chat about the project. The project? Alright, Ms. Li, I’ll come find you now. What’s up, son? She wants me to drive her home too, thinks I’m her son or something. Don’t bother. I’ll invest in your project. You? Security guard. Yeah, right. No, I mean, I might get home late tonight. Call me if you need anything. I’m out. Alright. Go do your thing. That girl asked you to go to her place, you’re really not going? Nope. Going home. Boss, check please. Check? Just save some money for your wedding gift later. I never owe anyone money. All changed. My wallet and keys are with Huayue. What are you two whispering about? Scan the code for me. Scan what code? My girlfriend already took my phone. Hey, lend me your phone, I need to make a call. Hey, Ms. Li, what a coincidence. Your ringtone sounds just like my dad’s. You sure talk a lot. Hello? Where are you? On my way home. Can I ask you something? You figured it out? No, I mean, can you bring me my phone, wallet, and keys? You want them? Come to my place. Not me Ms. Li, you got guests tonight? My boyfriend. Well, he’s in for a rough night. What did you say? I said, he’s really lucky, to have a beautiful, generous, and caring girlfriend like you. Is that so? Of course. Ms. Li, look at you, good-looking, great personality, great family, business savvy, kind and generous. Anyone who marries you is blessed for eight lifetimes. Uh Heh heh heh. Uh, yeah. Zhang Ling, let me give you some advice. Just behave yourself, stop trying to get close to me. We’re just boss and employee, right? I had you drive me home today only because I didn’t have my car. And we came back to talk business. Business only. I don’t feel anything for you. So, quit your little schemes. Uh, no, I Ms. Li, I didn’t mean anything by it. Why would I even try to hit on you? What kind of idiot would be into you? Ms. Li, I was just joking earlier. You just said something. Uh, no, nothing. Stop stalling, go park the car already. Alright, alright. Thanks, driver. Zhang Tianqi, Huayue, come on, let’s go home. Wait, where to? People. Hello? Hey, Ms. Li, which villa number is yours? I can’t find the door. You don’t need to come in. Huh? The engagement party is set for tomorrow at 7 p.m. Go set it up now. Once it’s done, I’ll give you every cent of that investment I promised. Huayue? Why’s the engagement party set for tomorrow? I haven’t even agreed yet. You will soon. You will soon. Wait for me, I’m gonna change clothes first. Wait, hey Imported from Russia, 73 percent alcohol. Can you handle it? Uh, I Hello? Dad, I’m not coming home tonight. What’s up? My boss, that crazy lady, wants me to run her errands again. So annoying. Alright, I’m done talking. You get some rest too. It’s getting late, I’m heading home. Hello? Hello? Fine, I’ll do it. I’ve never met anyone so stubborn. It’s already six o’clock. Huayue, honestly, I’ve never heard of an engagement party at night. There’s not enough time. Weddings are supposed to be at dusk, right? We’re not getting married, just engaged. Engagement, wedding, same thing. It’s all marriage. Hmph. We’re here. Should I call your son? Isn’t that a bit sudden? What’s so sudden about it? I’ll do it. Give it here. He’s busy. Alright, let’s go. Who’s texting you? My dad. Forget it, not reading it. He’s driving me nuts. What’s wrong? You go in first, okay? Hurry up. Mr. Li. You’re here. I’ve already set everything up. We’re just waiting for you and your wife. Good job. Let’s go. Hey, where’s your wife? He had something to take care of. Let’s go. Why are you still standing there? Mr. Li. This is what I spent all night preparing for you yesterday. Not bad. Pretty good, right? Do you like it? Mr. Li. You made it. Mr. Li. Your second uncle, Director Li, is here too. But, he doesn’t seem very happy. I think he will. Come on, why are you asking so many questions? I’m just curious, which young talent actually caught Mr. Li’s eye? You’ll find out soon enough. I’m going upstairs to get ready. You guys chat. What young talent could possibly catch Huayue’s eye? Hmph, please. Hmph, please. Women. What’s wrong if I heard? I’m just saying. I’m telling you, a woman like her, my dad wouldn’t go for her. I heard your dad’s single too. So, if your dad really gets together with her, wouldn’t that make you Mr. Li’s son? My dad’s always been single. And let me tell you, don’t be fooled by my dad being a security guard right now, he’s picky. My dad likes women who are gentle, kind, a little quirky. Someone like Mr. Li, such a busybody, he would never go for her. Right, Dad? That’s right. See? My dad said it himself, he doesn’t like her. Wait, Dad, what are you doing here? Didn’t expect you, my son, to show up so fast. Uh, I’ve been here the whole time. No, I was just about to ask you, wait, you, so, I know this is a bit sudden for you, I’ll explain everything in a bit, okay? No. I’ll give you an explanation. Hey, Zhang Ling, it’s about to start. Let’s go in first. Uncle, let’s go in. This is my coworker and good friend. Hello, Uncle. Just call me Aqiang. Hi, Xiaoqiang. Alright, Dad, I’ll take you over there. Son, are all these your friends? Yeah. It’s an engagement party, you need a crowd to make it look big. But it was all so last minute, this is all I could get together. Son, just you caring this much makes me happy. Why are you crying? I’m not, just got something in my eye. Is your dad okay in the head? Your dad’s the one who’s got issues. Dad’s really happy. I honestly didn’t know how to tell you. Didn’t expect you’d be so supportive. Alright, alright. Hey, Dad, today’s a big deal, please don’t mess it up, don’t embarrass me, okay? Come on, I may never have been engaged, but I’ve been to plenty of engagement parties. I know how this works. Alright, alright, go sit over there. Sit. Sit. Take a seat. Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends and family, welcome to the engagement party of Miss Li Huayue and Mr. Zhang Tianqi. Son, what’s going on? Is that one of your classmates too? No, that’s my boss, Mr. Li’s relative. Mr. Li. You invited all of Mr. Li’s relatives? Had to. Had to? Of course. Gotta invite them, they have to come, no choice. But they don’t look too happy. Happy? Not a chance. You guys probably don’t know, that woman, she’s getting engaged behind her family’s back. Such a busybody. Such a busybody. Rumor is, she’s marrying a security guard. Security guard? Dad, they’re not talking about you. Even though you’re a security guard too, you’d never go for that crazy woman. Hmph. Crazy woman. Yeah, total crazy woman. total crazy woman. I bet she’s hitting menopause early. Let’s give a round of applause for the bride-to-be Li Huayue, Miss Li. You know, other than her temper, our Mr. Li is actually really good-looking. No idea which security guard got lucky enough to win over Mr. Li. Lucky? I’d call it bad luck. Just wait, I wanna see which poor sucker is marrying that crazy woman. Dad. Hey, Dad, what are you looking at? Don’t let her looks fool you, she’s just a woman, a crazy woman. I’m telling you, anyone who marries her must be out of their mind. Poor sucker. Crazy turtle. Hey, son, you know, you know, I think I’m the poor sucker you’re talking about. Crazy turtle. Let’s welcome the groom-to-be, Zhang Tianqi, Mr. Zhang. Give me a second to process this. So, that woman’s fiancé is my dad? What do you mean woman? That’s your mom. You’re really her son now. I, I, I… My mom, she, she’s younger than me. Wait, is there a problem? You don’t approve? Hey, I, I don’t approve. Huayue, this is too much. Oh no, Director Li, why don’t you approve? Mr. Li’s in his twenties, this guy’s at least forty, right? Would you approve? Probably. What’s wrong with it? He’s pretty handsome. Second Uncle, I invited you here just to have you witness this for us. Witness? Witness you embarrassing yourself? Hmph. Do you know why your parents didn’t come? Because they’re ashamed of you. You know that? Huayue, what’s going on? Are you scared? Scared of what? Huayue, don’t you feel embarrassed being with this security guard? Embarrassed? Embarrassed? You guys… I’m out. Huayue, what are you doing? No clapping. Huayue, calm down. I know. You just don’t want to accept it. The family already set you up with that guy. They’re only doing it for your own good. This kind of good? I don’t need it. The Sun family’s engagement gifts have already been accepted. Did you know that? If you do this, what do you think Sun Shao will feel? I don’t care what he thinks. This is my life, I make my own choices. Sun Shao? Who’s that? You don’t know? Sun Shao, Sun Jizong. Heir to a company worth billions, successor of Huifeng Capital. Oh. Is he supposed to be impressive? Of course. Don’t make things too tense with the family. Watch me. Hey, that’s your second uncle, right? What? Second uncle. Look at you, you look older than me, and you still call me second uncle? Big brother. What? Zhang Tianqi, let me ask you, how did you trick our Xiaoyue into this mess? Trick? I didn’t trick her. You didn’t trick her? Then why is she with you? Maybe I’m just charming. Have some shame, will you? Don’t think I don’t know what you do for a living. You’re just a security guard, aren’t you? You and her together, is that really appropriate? Is it not appropriate? Enough. Enough. Huayue, you’re part of the Li family. It was the Li family that paid for your education, gave you opportunities, raised you up, so you could become CEO. So? So you should be grateful. The Li family supported you for years, now it’s time to give back. It’s just marrying Sun Shao, isn’t it? Don’t tell me you’re unwilling. Besides, the Sun family, they’re in finance, they’ve got billions in assets. Sun Shao is handsome too, and young. How is he not better than this lousy security guard? Hey, hey, hey, watch your mouth. How am I “lousy”? Shut up. Huayue, don’t you care about your parents at all? They already accepted the Sun family’s engagement gifts. If you make a scene now, how are they supposed to face people later? Just return the gifts, problem solved. Return them? The engagement is a billion-dollar contract, already signed, the project’s underway. It’s just a billion, isn’t it? Just a billion? Wow. Huayue, your eyes work fine, how did you end up with a lunatic? Who I like is my own business. Besides, Sun Shao is a jerk, I already rejected him ages ago. You all knew that. But your parents already accepted the Sun family’s engagement gifts. That’s their decision, not mine. This kid. The engagement gifts are accepted, you should be grateful. Grateful, you know? Hey, wait, that’s not how you should put it. All parents in the world want their kids to do well. I’m a father myself, I get it. Wait, what? You have a son? Yeah, what about it? Oh wow, Huayue, look at who you picked. He’s old, fine, he’s a security guard, fine, but he’s got a kid too! So what if I have a son? Don’t you have a son? Me? I have a son, he’s my biological child. So what if he’s biological? He still calls your parents “mom and dad,” what’s the difference? Of course there’s a difference. He’s not your biological child, even if he calls them mom and dad, he doesn’t really care about you. For all you know, deep down he wishes you’d just drop dead. Oh, so by your logic, you married into the Li family, call my grandparents “mom and dad,” but you’re not their biological child, so you don’t care about them either. Maybe you wish they’d drop dead too? You That’s not the same thing! Everyone saw, I treat my in-laws with real devotion. That devotion Alright, alright, stop embarrassing yourself. Huayue, what good is that sharp tongue of yours? You need to be grateful, grateful. Second uncle, then tell me, what does it mean to be grateful? Huayue, you can’t just enjoy all the benefits the family gives you, and then turn around and reject what the family arranges for you. Life doesn’t work that way. Don’t be so selfish. Selfish? Fine, I’m selfish. Let me ask you, who took the Li family’s almost bankrupt business and made it number one in the city? Who gave out 80% of the company’s profits as dividends to you all every year? And my cousin, your son, who gave him 10% equity when he got married? Me, me, Li Huayue. Without me, the Li family would’ve been finished ages ago. Li Huayue, remember, you’re a woman, you’ll have to get married someday, you know? I get it. So The person I want to marry is him. Uh, second uncle Oh, no, big brother, I’ll treat Huayue right, you can trust me, okay? I’m done talking to you. Li Huayue, remember this: if you stay with this security guard, you’re not part of the Li family anymore. CEO, huh? You won’t be keeping that job either. You’re threatening me? Yeah, I’m threatening you. Too bad, you can’t use something I don’t care about to threaten me. You I’ve wanted to quit being CEO for a long time. What? I’ve wanted to quit being CEO for a long time. What? You Today’s my engagement party, and all my colleagues are here, so I, Li Huayue, officially announce I’m resigning as CEO. What? President Li, you can’t, President Li! President Li! You turned our company around, you led us to where we are now! You can’t quit! Everyone shut up. I don’t believe without Li the Butcher, you’ll all be eating hairy pork. Alright, fine. Now, on behalf of the board, I officially accept your resignation. From now on, you have no ties to the company. Alright. Tianqi, let’s go. Zhang Ling Chairman Li You’re acting as the company’s proxy now. Wrap things up properly. Minimize the impact of the resignations. I get it. Running the company as a proxy, isn’t exactly impossible for me. But, you know, I’ve got this bad habit. What’s your problem? Haha, well, you know, I really just love eating pigs with a little fur left on them. What? You Chairman Li, If your last name isn’t Li, I’m not doing this job either. Find someone else, I don’t care. Find someone else, I don’t care. Hey! Xiao Qiang, You’re acting as the company’s proxy now. Wait, what did you just say? Running the company as a proxy? No, no, no, I mean, what did you just call me? Xiao Xiao Qiang, huh? Your whole family’s Xiao Qiang! Xiao Qiang, Xiao Qiang, seriously? You What about me? When you were the general manager, I did the work of twenty people for half a person’s pay. It was only when Chairman Li came that I finally got promoted to general manager. This is the company. It’s the company that trained you. Yeah, yeah, it’s the company, but that company was Chairman Li’s company. Now she’s gone. Haha, I’m out too. Bye-bye, Cutie. Hey, why are you leaving? Huh? Are you rebelling? Don’t go, don’t go! Even if Li Huayue’s gone, I’m still here! I’m not dead yet! Chairman Li. Ah, good, Great, you’re still here. You came at just the right time. Don’t get me wrong, I just have something to say to you. If you want to talk terms, well, I just want to say, You might as well be dead. If you were really dead, maybe a few people would stick around. But since you’re alive, who would dare stay? Old Li, Old Li! Old Li, oh man, somebody help! Huayue. Um… Huayue, What’s wrong? You go ahead. Huh. Tell me, Hmm? Am I kind of a failure? Why do you suddenly say that? My parents don’t understand me. My friends have drifted away. Even when it comes to getting married, I can’t even make my own decisions. Didn’t we get engaged? It’s fake, fake. But it could be real, too. Haha, really? As long as you want it. It’s because of this whole thing I feel like the whole world’s abandoned me. I’m just I’m all alone now. Sometimes I wonder, Did I really mess up? Actually, you’re not alone. Yeah, that’s true. There’s two of us. A security guard, and a woman who just lost her job. Perfect match, huh? We’re so compatible, haha! And me! Hey, me too! The three of us. Zhang Ling, I’m quitting too. And me! I’m quitting too. Chairman Li, Do you have wheels on your feet or something? You run so fast, I’m exhausted, oh my god. And us! And us! Who’s that guy next to her? Just a security guard. A security guard? So Huayue’s just randomly found some guy to piss you off. You know what? I don’t care. Young Master Sun, The Sun and Li family alliance is what really matters. As for Huayue’s opinion, It doesn’t matter. Yeah, It doesn’t matter. I’ll change her mind in my own way. Good. Let’s go visit my father-in-law. Let’s go. Thank you all, But I—I can’t accept this. Wait, Chairman Li, you’re the CEO, You can resign, But you won’t let us quit? Besides, We could start a new business together! Right? Exactly! You’re not looking down on us, are you? A Qiang, I remember you got married, right? Yeah, you even gave me a $10,000 wedding gift. Why did I give you $10,000? Because Because I knew it was tough for you. You bought a house You bought a house when prices were at their peak. Now it’s lost more than half its value. Why bring that up? Two years ago your dad got really sick, You spent a ton of your savings. I And your newborn twins, That’s a huge expense too. A Hua, I remember you’re getting married, right? House, car, the dowry, have you got it all sorted? Chairman Li, Resigning, Have you all really thought this through? I know you guys trust me. You’re willing to stick with me. But I can’t drag you down with me. This is our own choice. What do you mean, drag us down? If it weren’t for you, President Li, being at the company, running things as CEO, I’d still be stuck doing grunt work. Anyway, let me just say this. If you quit, then I’m out too. Do I really deserve this kind of loyalty from you? You do. You totally do. All I ever do is make you guys work overtime. All I do is yell at you. And I President Li, you gave us raises, you gave us promotions, you gave us respect. Besides, your yelling isn’t even that bad. You don’t know how Zhang Ling talks about you behind your back. Didn’t stop him from being the first to resign and follow you. You, you—what are you even talking about? Hey, President Li, don’t listen to A Qiang’s nonsense. I never meant it like that. Hey, There’s a saying, birds of a feather flock together. I can see it now. You’re all stand-up people. Kid, you, stand-up guy, Zhang Ling. Stand-up guy, you. You’re all stand-up people. Here’s what I’ll do, I’ll make a call. You all come work at my company. Whatever salary and perks you had at Huayue, I’ll bump it up for you at my place. How far you go after that, well, that’s up to you. Alright? Is your dad crazy? Your dad’s the crazy one. Uncle, aren’t you a security guard? Uh, President Li got engaged to you just to get out of an arranged marriage, and to mess with her family for good measure. Why are you offering us all jobs? Are we all supposed to be security guards? Now that you mention it, you reminded me. My company doesn’t really have any positions that fit you guys. Exactly. So you don’t need to I’ve got a card here. There’s a billion dollars on it. Consider this your startup fund. Wait, why are you all staring at me like that? Take it. You. Tianqi. Yeah? Keep this card safe. You’re having a tough time right now, aren’t you? It’s not a big deal for me, just take it. Think of it as my investment, alright? Take it. I get it, I get it. You just think the mood here is too heavy, you’re trying to lighten things up. I know what you mean. Come on, haha. Do I look like I’m joking? Hurry up. Take it. Tianqi, I’m serious. Tianqi, thank you. Sorry for bothering you these days. Why bring this up all of a sudden? Take care of it. I’m heading out. Hey, President Li, where are you going? Guess I was being selfish today. I’m not approving any of your resignation requests. President Li, President Li, President Li! Hey, President Li! Go after her! Didn’t you say you don’t like her? What does that matter? I was just venting, you know? Besides, I know what kind of person President Li is. If it weren’t for her, my project would’ve tanked ages ago. Exactly, go after her! Go, go! Huayue. Huayue. Tianqi. Thanks for sticking with me all this time. Let’s end it here. Hey. No charge tonight. Let me buy you a couple drinks. Hey. It’s fine, don’t worry about it. Why are you alone? Where’s your boyfriend? Is that any of your business? So you don’t have one? Looks like it’s about to rain. I thought he’d walk you home. Since he’s not here, I’ll walk you. So without a man, I can’t even go home? It’s not that you can’t go home, it’s that only a man can give you a home. Really? Isn’t that true? Sun Jizong, what are you trying to do? Sun Jizong, what are you doing? Huayue, your mom and dad my in-laws, I guess they’re really worried about you. They sent me to bring you home. And if I don’t go home with you? Come on, it’s a free country. Go home or not, it’s up to you. What am I gonna do, tie you up and drag you back? OK. Then goodbye. I’ve got a meeting with Zhang Tianqi. Tianqi. We need to talk about something. Sun Jizong, what exactly do you want? What do I want? Zhang Tianqi’s just a security guard. I hired him to fake a marriage with me. He’s got nothing to do with any of this. Why are you so worked up? I told you, I just want to talk to him. Sun Jizong. Yeah? Young Master Sun. Young Master Sun. Don’t be so formal. We’re gonna be living together soon. Just call me Jizong. Jizong. I’m right here. Zhang Tianqi’s innocent. I just happened to run into him, then I used him. I don’t have any feelings for him. So I’m begging you, leave him alone, okay? Leave him alone? I never planned to mess with him. He’s just a nobody. I know, you’re just using him to get at me. If you don’t want me to see him, fine, whatever. Come home with me now. Zhang Tianqi. You know, I love the feeling of driving. I hate sitting in the back while someone else drives. You know why? Because I hate feeling controlled. Especially when it comes to life and death. I’d rather be in charge of everything myself. Sun Jizong, what are you trying to I told you, call me Jizong. We’re getting married tonight. Don’t be a stranger. You don’t want Zhang Tianqi to just disappear, do you? Sun Jizong, what are you planning? I said, call me Jizong. Jizong, you promised me. You said you wouldn’t mess with him. It’s your fault, isn’t it? You dragged him into this. Now you’re the only one who can save him. Let him go. Depends on how you behave. I’m begging you, Jizong, let him go. Let him go. Does it hurt? Smile, smile. Come on, smile. You know, you look beautiful when you smile. Stop looking. We’ve blocked every exit. You’re not getting away today. Run? I wasn’t planning to run. President Zhou, what’s going on here? Looks like the president of the Financial Alliance. President Zhou, President Liang from Huasheng Securities, President Xu from Southern Industries, President Wang from Qiangsheng Fund. Move aside, move aside, everyone! There’s gotta be some misunderstanding here. Hello, Mr. Zhang. Yeah. Are you alright? I’m fine. Good to hear. Hey, President Xu, you’re here too. We’re here for your engagement party. Yeah, engagement party. Ah. Just a sec, Just a sec, I need your car for something. Zhou Tian Let me ask you something. Mr. Zhang, what is it? Go ahead. You got married, right? Yeah. At your age, do you still believe in love? I do. Then do you think someone my age can still believe in love? Oh, Mr. Zhang, aren’t you always telling us that in life and work, we should follow our hearts, and go with our feelings? Alright. Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, good evening, everyone. Give us a smile, or I’ll get upset. Dear friends, ladies and gentlemen, good evening, everyone. Come on, give us a smile, or I’ll get upset. Miss Li is actually tearing up. Looks like she’s been waiting for this marriage for a long time. Don’t cry yet, save it for the wedding night. You’ll have plenty to cry about then. Let’s give Miss Li a round of applause. Mr. Sun Jizong, do you take Miss Li to be your wife? From this day forward, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, for a lifetime, will you remain faithful, love her and be true to her, and protect her? Do you? I do. President Zhou, President Wang, President Xu, I didn’t expect you all would come to Young Master Sun’s wedding. Sorry we didn’t greet you sooner. Ms. Li Huayue, do you take Mr. Sun Jizong to be your husband? Ms. Qiu Li Huayue, do you take Mr. Sun Jizong to be your husband? From this day forward, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, for a lifetime, will you remain faithful, be true to him, love him and cherish him? Do you? I… Everyone, please allow me to interrupt for a moment to announce something. Could I ask everyone to please stand up? The reason I’m asking you all to stand is because in a moment, some important guests will be arriving. Young Master Sun, what kind of VIPs deserve such ceremony? Zhou Tian from the Financial Alliance, President Zhou. Xu Tong from Huaqiang Securities, President Xu. What? Huaqiang Securities? That’s a multi-billion group. The Sun family has ties with Huaqiang Group too. And also, Liang Hai from Southern Industries, President Liang. And Wang Bo from Johnson Foundation, President Wang. Those big shots, their net worth combined must be in the trillions. And they’re actually here in person for Young Master Sun’s wedding. No wonder you asked us to stand up. If those VIPs aren’t here, how could we just sit down? Yeah, yeah, exactly. The Sun family really is unfathomable. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Alright, let’s give a warm round of applause to welcome our distinguished guests. That’s President Zhou from the Financial Alliance. He really lives up to his reputation. And President Wang. This is the first time I’ve ever seen people like that up close. Who’s that over there? Daring to walk ahead of all those VIPs. Huayue, you’re just getting here? You left something at my place. Let’s go home. Checkup. President Zhou. Sorry, for interrupting your wedding. How about you make it up to me? Sure, but you need to lose some weight first. Hey, you’re the one who needs to work out, okay? Hey, I’m still going strong for my age. Alright, you’re just an old guy chasing after a younger woman. Come on, let’s go home. Everyone’s watching, put me down already. No way, I’m not putting you down. Put me down! Hahaha. Come on, hurry up, we’re going to be late. Look at you, always dragging your feet. We won’t be late, right? No, we won’t. Hey, Jizong, why are you being so formal, coming all the way to the door to greet us? Haha, yeah, and to think we’re Huayue’s parents. Yeah, after all, it’s her big day, and we still managed to be late. But, you know, with the flight delay, there’s nothing we could do, right? Oh, by the way, where’s Huayue? What happened to you? What’s going on with you? Uncle, Auntie. What’s wrong? Sorry about this. It’s nothing. I want to call off the engagement. Look at this. He wants to say it himself. Call off the engagement? What do you mean, call off the engagement? Why? Is it Huayue? Did Huayue do something to upset you? You know how Huayue is, her temper’s just like that. Auntie, it’s not her fault. It’s my fault. I’m not good enough for her. She deserves someone better. Yeah, yeah. They’re the perfect match. Meant to be together. Just now, Huayue already left with him. She left? Isn’t today supposed to be your wedding with Huayue? Yeah. She eloped? This kid is getting more and more out of hand. When we get home, I’m really going to teach her a lesson. No, please don’t. You see, Jizong is still the one who cares about our little Yue the most. He heard you were going to scold her, look how much it hurt him. Not hurt, I don’t dare to care at all. I don’t have any feelings for her. Jizong. What’s wrong with you? Nothing. I just suddenly realized Hey, Jizong. I’m just a jerk. Jizong, please don’t be like this. I was really hoping you and Huayue would have a good life together. Auntie, I’m begging you. Please don’t say any more, okay? Jizong, you know, it’s normal for couples to argue. After today, you’ll be husband and wife. Not husband and wife. What happened? What exactly is going on? Uncle, Auntie. I’m sorry. The reason I tried to force Huayue to marry me before wasn’t because I had feelings for her. I just wanted her physically. And I wanted to take over your company. W-what? I swear, I really didn’t know Huayue already had someone she likes outside. Otherwise, even if you gave me ten times the courage, I wouldn’t dare go after her. She has someone she likes? That security guard? She has someone she likes? Ah. Sorry, I’m really not a good person. I’m leaving now. That security guard Jizong, Jizong! Please, I’m begging you all. I’ll buy a plane ticket tonight, I’ll go abroad, I won’t ever come back, okay? Just give me a way out. Please let me go. Look how hurt this kid is. Look what Huayue did, how she messed Jizong up. Yeah. He must have really deep feelings for Huayue. No, I don’t have any feelings for her. Hey, Jizong. I’ll have Huayue talk to you properly later. Jizong, oh man. That stubborn girl actually ran off with that security guard. We were only abroad for a few days, and she got mixed up with that security guard. Let me give her a call. Hello? Ah, Uncle. Huayue drank too much. I’m taking care of her. What? Your dad’s calling. Stop drinking. Mm. What are you doing? Huayue, what are you up to? Today’s your wedding day, and you ran off with that security guard. How are we supposed to face anyone now? Just so you know, I’m bringing him home tomorrow. Bringing him home? Bringing that security guard? Mm. Give me that. Huayue. I’m telling you, if you dare bring that security guard home, I’ll break his legs. Either I bring him home, or I never come back to this house. How can you be so foolish, Huayue? Do you know what kind of family we are? Our family’s money could last two lifetimes. And him? He’s just a security guard. A security guard, do you get it? I don’t get it. Hey. Huayue, calm down. I know, I know, we’ve been pushing you too hard. But we’re doing this for your own good. With your looks and our family’s wealth, marrying someone from a good, wealthy family—isn’t that a good thing? What’s the point of money? Look at Sun Jizong, he’s rich. Do you know how much he offered as a dowry? A billion. A billion-dollar contract. I’m not marrying Sun Jizong. Even if you wanted to be with him now, it’s too late. You ran away from your wedding today, do you know how embarrassing that is? That billion is probably gone too. Do you know what a huge loss that is for our family? Uncle, about the dowry, don’t worry. I’ll make it up to you, I won’t let you lose out. Shut up, you damn security guard. If you dare set foot in our house, I’ll break your legs. Let Huayue talk to me. No, Uncle. Hung up. Stop making a scene, come home. So? Mm. Do you dare come home with me? So you still dare come home with me? Didn’t you already come back with me? I don’t dare go home with you. Hmph. So you don’t want your legs anymore? It’s not that bad. They’re just trying to scare you. This wine is pretty good. Hey, you should drink less. It’s good. Of course it’s good. It’s a 1973 Lafite, it’s already a collector’s item. A ’73 Lafite? Are you serious? What else? Wow, a ’73 Lafite could buy this whole apartment. Who’s that? This Zhang Tianyun. Your brother? That was my old name. Did you kill someone or set something on fire, why’d you change your name? I just wanted to move on from the past. And this, your son? Yeah, adopted. A man with a story. A friend of mine passed away early, probably because of me. So he left behind this kid. Security guard friend? He died stopping a criminal. I only became a security guard after that. That friend was my business partner before. Brother, you started a business? Why, is that weird? Not weird. I’m guessing you failed, so you became a security guard. So what do we do now? Huayue still wants to bring that security guard home. What else can we do? Are you really planning to break that security guard’s legs? I’m stressed out, how are we supposed to explain things to the Sun family? Didn’t we just ask the Sun family? They said they won’t pursue it. You actually believe that? No way, we need to pull some strings and settle this. Pull strings? What strings? Do you remember that charity gala ten years ago? Which one? The one Mr. Zhang attended. Mr. Zhang? Mr. Zhang—Zhang Tianyun? Zhang, Zhang Tianyun. You’re still in touch with Mr. Zhang? No. Then why bring it up? But I have Mr. Zhang’s number. Hmph, you? You have Mr. Zhang’s number? Anyone with Mr. Zhang’s number is a billionaire. You? You? You? You think you qualify? Of course not, I’m nobody. But I have a good memory. Remember that year at the charity gala, Mr. Zhang handed out a business card with his phone number. I saw it from a distance and memorized it, still remember it now. What if Mr. Zhang changed his number? Just call and find out. Hurry up and call. Huayue. Yeah? Help me answer the phone. Oh, okay. What’s up, Tianqi? Did you get through? No. No answer or couldn’t connect? It went through, but no one picked up. Oh man, maybe Mr. Zhang is already resting. Maybe he didn’t pick up because it’s an unknown number. Or maybe it’s just too late, try again tomorrow. No. Tianqi. Yeah. Why are you picking that up with your hands? The floor is filthy. Just sweep it up instead. Some older folks like to dig through the trash cans. If you don’t pick it up, someone might get their hand cut. Tianqi. Tomorrow, let’s go get our marriage license. Oh. What? V. Just like that, we’re getting the marriage license? What, are you having second thoughts? Just like that, we’re getting the marriage license? What, are you having second thoughts? Isn’t it a bit too fast? Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you. Oh, that’s not necessary. I’ve got my son, you know. Does your son have as much money as I do? Oh, right, my son didn’t come home at all last night. Where did he go? Hold on, let me give him a call. Yeah. Hey, son. Hey, Dad, what’s up? So, you didn’t come home at all last night. Where were you? Don’t even mention it. Last night, there was an issue at the office. I was busy all night. President Li, of course, ran off as soon as something happened, leaving us to clean up the mess. Heh. So, anyway, yeah. I need to tell you something, just get ready for it, okay? Alright, alright, enough, don’t say it now, I’m still busy, gotta go. Hello? Can you not bother me? I just want to get some sleep, is that okay? You’re sleeping? President Li, you really are sleeping. No, no, no, what, what, how could I be sleeping? No, I’m not sleeping, you must’ve misheard. Alright, alright, since you’re sleeping, why not do something useful? Come pick me up right now. But it’s work hours. Serving me is your job. Fine. Alright then, where do you want to go? Civil Affairs Bureau on Dongfeng Road. I’ll wait for you at the entrance. That’s it. In a bit, I’ll have my assistant pick me up. You’re coming with me to meet my parents. Isn’t it a bit much to always have your assistant run errands for you? I treat him like family. I wouldn’t tell just anyone. But this kid, he does have a lot of opinions. Still needs to have his attitude checked. Let’s go. Just hope they understand your good intentions. What’s wrong, Zhang Ling? That woman is making me do her personal errands again. This time, she’s dragging me all the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau. No, no, no, enough talking, I’m leaving. Dad? What are you doing here? What’s going on? Son, weren’t you sleeping? Sleep? No way. I was up all night working. I just wanted to catch a nap, but then President Li, that woman, called me, told me to pick her up. What is this, am I her son or something? That’s not quite right. How else should I put it? Even in front of you, I’d say the same thing. This woman treats me like her son, it’s too much. Really? Of course! President Li, isn’t she a woman? No, no, no, what woman? President Li, I must’ve misheard. Then who just said I treat him like my son? Who? Who said it? You did. I didn’t say that. President Li, maybe you’ve been working too hard lately, you’re hearing things. Really? Right? Anyway, we’re all family here, what’s the big deal? Don’t stir things up. Hey, I President Li, look, you asked me to pick you up, and I came right away, didn’t waste any time. Where do you want to go? I’ll take you. Take me home. Oh, I see. You head back first. President Li, congratulations, you’re getting married soon, right? Already got the marriage license. Wow, congratulations! I just wonder who the lucky person is who gets to marry you. Haven’t you already met? Huh? Wait, why are you still here? Go on, go on. Anyway, son, son, listen, I need to tell you something. Don’t say anything yet. President Li, please get in the car first. Stop calling me President Li, call me Mom. Huh? Well, we just now Got the marriage license. What? Always making a fuss. This kid. Alright, everyone can go now. No, no. That’s not it, that’s not it. Dad. You guys. Tianqi. He really is your son? Yeah. Doesn’t he work at your company? You’ve always looked out for him. Right? And He’s said before, that in front of you, he feels like your own son. Isn’t that fate? Hey, hey, hey. What are you even talking about? It was just a figure of speech. Do you even know what that means? Well, now you don’t need metaphors, it’s a statement of fact. Isn’t that a good thing? No, no, no. That’s not right, that’s not right. Dad. You, you guys. You two are together. Wasn’t President Li just trying to piss off her parents on purpose? How How did you suddenly get a marriage license? You don’t agree with it? Uh It’s not that I don’t agree, it’s just What’s going on? Dad. You don’t even close the door. How did you suddenly decide to get married? Don’t let yourself get scammed. Me, get scammed? You really underestimate me. Well, that’s true. You’re just a security guard, no money, no power. Yeah, plus, you do have a pretty handsome face. President Li really doesn’t have much to gain by scamming you. Wait, what do you mean by that? I’m just saying, if you really weren’t scammed, then this is an opportunity. Opportunity? A chance to move up in the world. Yeah? Look, the Li family’s got money and influence. If you marry in, isn’t that a ticket to the top? No Who said I’m marrying into her family? I’m marrying her fair and square, isn’t that good enough? No way. You, my son, still need the Li family to invest in your business. You’re just a security guard, no money, barely a few bucks in your pocket. You want to marry her fair and square? Are you even qualified? Why wouldn’t I be qualified? Hey. What are you two talking about? Let me hear. Nothing. My dad says he really likes you, and he wants to marry into your family. Really? No way. Oh, I mean, the marrying-in part is fake. But if you really want to join our family, it’s not impossible. Hey, just gotta get past my parents. That’s tough. I could even take your last name. Hey, what are you saying, kid? What are you talking about? The first time you meet my parents, are you gonna be nervous? Why would I be nervous? Just got the news my little brother just got back from overseas. He’s at home right now. He’s got a sharp tongue. Honestly, it’s not that hard. I’ll find him something to do, help him out with his career. Or, if that doesn’t work, I’ll just give him some money. Ha ha. That’s all there is to it. Sounds easy when you say it. Isn’t it? If you can pull it off, then it’s not hard. But the problem is, you can’t help him, and you don’t have money. You’re just a security guard. President Li might like you, but her family they might not. I’m not so sure. My dad’s calling. Father-in-law, huh? Pick it up. Huayue, I’ll give you one more chance. Cut ties with that security guard, and you’ll still be our good daughter. Don’t make things awkward for everyone. Dad, I told you already, today I’m bringing Tianqi home. I She’s actually bringing the security guard home. Oh, dad, women, they’re hopeless romantics. Once they fall for someone, they’ll do anything. It’s just a security guard, let her bring him home. I’ll show him what’s what. What’s giving me a headache right now isn’t that issue. I’m thinking about whether I should call Mr. Zhang. Call him. Call him. You have to call him. But what if Mr. Zhang actually agrees? Dad, Mom, who is this Mr. Zhang you’re talking about? He’s someone who, if we can just get a little connection, can solve all our family’s problems. A big shot. Then you have to call. Hurry up and call. Call him right now. Come on, call. You all heard, right? My parents don’t want you there. Let me ask you one last time, do you really want to go back with me? Come on, we’ve already got the marriage license. Even if you’re the “ugly son-in-law,” you gotta meet the parents. Dad, maybe we should get ready a bit more. There’s nothing to prepare. Tianqi, since it’s like this, I’ll be straight with you. My parents really don’t like you, and my brother, he’s definitely going to make things hard for you. But, you absolutely can’t lose your temper. You have to be patient. Yeah, yeah, be patient. You must be patient. When I’m not around, you have to watch how you act and what you say. Wait, so you’re coming with us too? Huh? Yeah, let’s all go together. We’ll have to meet sooner or later. We’re all family now. Son. Wait, oh right, Tianqi, Zhang Ling was right. You have to be careful with your words and actions. Be respectful. Be cautious. They’ll definitely look for any excuse to pick on you. Don’t give them any openings. Got it? Yeah, yeah, be respectful. Be cautious. Is it really that serious? Rich families have a lot of rules, you know? you know? But our family doesn’t have any rules. Give it a rest. You’re just a security guard, what kind of rules can you set? What, are you gonna salute when you walk in? Me Whose call is that? No idea. Call me on the other number. Hardly anyone knows this number. Must be an old friend. It’s connected. Shut up. What? What? Oh, no, Mr. Zhang. I wasn’t talking about you, I was talking about my wife. Wife. Wait, who are you? Me? Xiao Li, Li Chenglong. Oh, it’s you, kid. Yeah, it’s me. You need something? To be honest, I wanted to meet with you. Do you have time? Of course, I know it’s a bit presumptuous. But today, I can’t. I’ve got something going on. I need to go with my wife to meet her parents. You You got married? Yeah, that’s right. Just got married. Congratulations! Mr. Zhang, which family’s daughter is lucky enough to marry you? Not like our Huayue, she actually wants to marry a security guard. Can you believe it? So what if she marries a security guard? As long as they love each other, none of that matters. Yeah, yeah, you’re right. That’s true. Just worried she might get scammed. Wait, you’re worried your kid will get scammed, so you come to me? I didn’t scam your kid. No, no, I’m not calling you about that. Whatever it is, I don’t have time today. I need to go with my wife to meet her parents. Even if it’s a huge deal, it’s not as important as this. Go ahead, take care of your business. Mm. Who was that? Your friend? Not really a friend, just some random guy. Not sure how he got my number. Forget it, let’s go. Come on, just a random guy? Give me a break, Dad. He’s a random guy, but what are you? A big shot who guards the front door? I told you, security is just one of my jobs. I have plenty of other jobs, got it? Tianqi, Zhang Ling’s got a point. No she doesn’t. That’s totally wrong. I know, you need your pride. I’m not going to look down on you because of your situation. Right? From now on, you don’t have to worry about making a living. I’ll take care of you. Get in the car. President Li, Dad, we’re here. President Li, Miss’s car is here. She really did bring that security guard home. Dad, don’t get worked up. It’s just a security guard. I’ll go meet him myself. Queen Welcome home. Hahaha. So this is the one with the last name Zhang, right? Uh, this is…? Oh. This is my real little brother, Li Xiaolong. Oh. Hello, Uncle Li. Haha. You’re so polite. Still calling me Uncle? Of course. Of course what? I’m her brother, what do you care what she calls me? Call her Mom. Call her Mom. Mom. Hold on. Sis, I never realized you’re pretty wild, huh? Me, wild? You’re out of your mind. He’s Zhang Tianqi’s son. So that makes him my son, right? Tianqi, the betrothal gifts, I’ll leave that to you guys. Make sure you deliver them soon. Okay, I’m hanging up. Tianqi, let me introduce you. This is my little brother, Li Xiaolong. Ha. Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. Son, call him Uncle Li. Call him Uncle. Uncle. Hey, hey, hey, what’s going on here? Hold up, I’m a little lost. You’re his son? Yeah. You’re a security guard, and you’ve got a twenty-something son, right? That’s about it. Sis, you messing with me? Charity work, where do you find these people? What nonsense are you talking about? Show some respect. Li Xiaolong, your brother-in-law. Respect what? Respect? Brother-in-law, really? Look at him, he’s old enough, if he tried hard enough, he could be my dad. My actual dad. Hey, that’s not right. So what do you call her? Wrong generation. Hey, Uncle Li. My dad doesn’t know how to talk, don’t mind him. Hahaha, I don’t mind. I really don’t mind. Alright then, you’ve got guts. I’m telling you, if you dare bring those two into our house today, I’ll You’ll what? I’ll Hey, I’m telling Mom and Dad. Embarrassing, let’s go. Mom, Dad, I’m home! Hmph. Wait, Sis, are you crazy? You really brought them home? Mom and Dad aren’t in good health, you know that. If something happens to them, are you gonna take responsibility? Zhang Tianqi is a good man. I just like him. I came home today to tell you that I’m with him, we’re already married. What? Huayue, you You really married him? He’s old enough to be my dad. So what? So what? It’s embarrassing. You’re the embarrassing one. You’ve ruined the Li family’s reputation. How do you expect people to look at us now? It’s not like you can’t get married, it’s not like no one likes you, but you just had to pick this loser security guard. What can he give you? Can he give you a future? Can he give you security? If I say he can, he can. He can my ass. Sis, I’m just saying, you must be desperate. Xiaolong, why are you so mad? Your sister and I are married now, we’re family. Family? You two even got the marriage certificate? Your name is Zhang Tianqi, right? Mm-hmm. Then why does the certificate say Zhang Tianyun? What? Zhang Tianyun? Alright, Mom, Dad, this loser security guard even faked his name on the marriage certificate. He’s definitely scamming my sister. No, why would I need to scam her? Mom, Dad, I know, I was being stubborn, but just this once, I’m begging you, please don’t make things hard for Tianqi, okay? I’ll take him away now. No way. Yeah, you think you can just come and go as you please? Not happening. That’s not what I meant. Don’t worry, Dad, I get it. Break their legs, I’ve already found the guys. Today, they’re not leaving here. Hey, no, no, no, guys, guys, guys, please don’t take it out on my dad, he’s not all there, I’ll take him away now. Dad, being a freeloader isn’t that easy, if we don’t leave now, we might get carried out for real. Who says I’m a freeloader? Alright, enough, let’s just go. Stop. Dad, I’m telling you straight, I’m already married to Zhang Tianqi, I, Huayue, will only marry him in this life. Huayue, you Good for you. Huayue. Dad, what’s wrong? Are you okay? I’m fine, I’m fine, why wouldn’t I be? I’m happy, I’m really happy. Look at you, what did I say? You’ve made Dad lose his mind. Get out of here. Dad, don’t scare me, calm down, calm down. I’ll take him away now. No, please don’t, we haven’t even eaten yet, how can you leave? Dad, this feels kinda weird, maybe we should just go. Go? No, no, no, hahaha, please don’t, why are you in such a rush to leave? Mrs. Li, you Why Mrs. Li? Call me Grandma. Huh? Aren’t you Mr. Zhang’s son? Yes, yes. Then that’s right, call me Grandma. Grandma. Good, have a seat, have a seat, come on, sit down, sit down, please sit. Mr. Zhang, you too, please, sit down. Dad, he’s just a security guard, why does he get to sit? Shut up, go pour tea for your brother-in-law. Pour tea? Me? Just go, hurry up. Sit next to Mr. Zhang. Hey, you guys sit too, don’t just stand there. Hahaha. Take some and eat. Don’t be shy. Make yourself at home. Eat, eat, eat. Hahaha. Mr. Li. Your parents aren’t as unreasonable as you make them out to be. Why are you calling him Mr. Li? You should call him Mom. You’re all losing your minds. This has nothing to do with you. Just pour your own water. See, your little brother-in-law really doesn’t know how to act. Haha, he’s just clueless. Cut him some slack. Hahaha, it’s fine. Young people are all like this. Mr. Zhang, are you satisfied with our daughter Huayue? I’m pretty satisfied. Well, our Huayue does have a bit of a temper sometimes, so you’ll need to be patient with her. She’s got a temper? Oh man. Mom, Dad, I’m totally confused right now. What kind of show are you two putting on? I know you look down on Zhang Tianqi, because he’s just a security guard. But you don’t have to act crazy here and mess with him, do you? Is this fun for you? No, no, no, no, no. Absolutely not. We have nothing but respect for Mr. Zhang. Real, genuine respect. Hahaha. That’s right, that’s right. It’s your good fortune that Mr. Zhang chose you. You really need to rein in that attitude of yours. Mom, I’m the CEO, he’s the security guard. Did you mix that up? What’s wrong with being a security guard? What’s wrong with being a CEO? If Mr. Zhang doesn’t mind, I’ll transfer all the Li family assets to him right now as your dowry. W-what? What? No way. Hey! The company’s mine. If you give it to him, what about me? Li Xiaolong, apologize to your brother-in-law. If you really want to make this marriage happen, I won’t object. But why should the company be his dowry? He’s just a lowly security guard. We haven’t even asked him for a bride price yet. Fine. Even if we did ask for a bride price, how much could he possibly pay? Eighty thousand? A hundred thousand? Could he even afford that? Li Xiaolong. Xiaolong, go apologize to Mr. Zhang. Apologize. I’ll apologize to him? Actually, forget the apology. We’re all family now, right? Xiaolong, who’s family with you? Huh? Let me tell you, my sister’s naive, if you fooled her, that’s your skill. Now you’re tricking my dad and mom, but I’m smart, you can’t fool me. So get out of my house, get out! You little punk! Do you want our family to go down in flames? Dad! Xiaolong, he’s Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang Tianyun. Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang. So what about Zhang Tianyun? Mr. Li, there’s a crowd outside saying they’re here to deliver betrothal gifts for Miss. What? Betrothal… Betrothal gifts? President Zhou from the Financial Alliance, President Xu from Huaqing Securities, President Liang from Southern Industries, and President Wang from Qiangsheng Fund. Hahaha, such distinguished guests! Welcome, welcome! It’s truly an honor. Congratulations to Mr. Zhang on your wedding! What? A letter… Wait, why is everyone looking at me? Stand up. Wait, Dad, what’s going on here? Hey, well, I just asked a few friends to bring some betrothal gifts. Yeah, is everything ready? Our betrothal gift is the Financial Alliance would like to appoint Miss Li as a member of our board. Here’s the official letter from the Financial Alliance. Here’s the letter. We at Huaqing Securities have prepared for you an investment contract worth five billion dollars. It’s not much, hope Miss Li and your parents won’t mind. No worries, no worries. Five billion? Our Southern Industries doesn’t have much else, but we do have land. A thousand acres, plus all the factories on it, that’s our betrothal gift. Qiangsheng Fund doesn’t have anything special, just a betrothal gift of thirty billion dollars to show our sincerity. How much? No way. Sis, what are you doing? Huayue, that’s way too much, I can’t accept it. Too much? Seems like Miss Li doesn’t really know Mr. Zhang. Miss Li, don’t worry. All these assets together are worth about a hundred billion. And for And for Mr. Zhang, that’s just a drop in the bucket. That’s a bit much, isn’t it? A drop in the bucket is kind of extreme. But it’s honestly less than one-thousandth of my assets. Hey, Huayue, I think this whole betrothal gift, bride price, and dowry thing is kind of outdated now. Let’s just go through the motions. What I’m giving you, don’t think it’s too little. It’s the thought that counts, right? Huayue, what’s wrong? Nothing, I just need a minute. Guys, head out for now. Let Huayue have some peace. Right. We’ll get going then. Tianqi, who are you, really? I’m Zhang Tianqi. But I also go by Zhang Tianyun. Zhang Tianyun? Why does that name sound so familiar? If it sounds familiar, that’s right. Your father, twenty years ago, was a legend in the financial world. Even in America, that land of endless capital, he was hailed as the God of Capital. I remember now. When I was studying abroad, I saw your statue on Wall Street. Statue? What are those guys doing? I’m not even dead, why put up a statue? Dad, did you write that book on modern financial economics? Yeah, that’s the one, the required reading in college finance departments now. I remember the chief editor was Zhang Tianyun. Oh, I think so. But undergrads don’t study that book, it’s for PhDs. That’s you? Wow, it’s really you! The idol I’ve always admired was right next to me and I never realized. Zhang Ling, Mr. Zhang’s glory days were twenty years ago. Back then, the internet was still new, information wasn’t as widespread as now. Plus, Mr. Zhang was very low-key, so his fame didn’t spread far. It was only known among the elite. It’s normal you didn’t know. I’ve let go of all that status stuff. Don’t get hung up on it. I’m just an ordinary guy now. Honestly, besides having some money, I’m really not that different from you. Seriously. Why are you all staring at me like that? Hehehehe. Dad, I feel like you’re just showing off, but I can’t argue with you. Sorry, old habits die hard. Brother-in-law. Huayue, now that you’ve met my parents, how about we go for a walk? Sure. Huayue. Close your eyes. What’s up? Just close them. Hey, looks like someone’s about to jump off the bridge. Where? Over there. Maybe they just want some peace and quiet. Doesn’t look like it. Zhang Tianqi, wait for me!
