Love Me, If You Dare
Episode 6
Lao Zhou, what's going on?
Don't you know?
There's a new director in the marketing department. They're sorting out the new office.
Someone from so high up in the senior management levels is down here, working next to us...
why do I have a bad feeling about this?
He should be on the same rank as the senior directors,
the offices of all those policy makers are on the 23rd level. Why is he down here with us?
I heard he is a part of the 'airborne troops' (not in this position by promotion), came all the way down here in order to build his 'amiable' image.
Manager Lin is calling for a meeting!
Jian Yao, let's go.
Hello everyone, I am Jian Yao. The new business and sales assistant.
Hello, I am Zhou Qin. You can just call me Xiao Zhou.
You can't call him Xiao Zhou.
He is the senior business and sales manager, your elder. You should call him Lao Zhou (Old Zhou).
You are in the same post as him, in the future a lot of coordination is needed between you two in your jobs.
So, communicate as much as you can. He is called Xiao Mai (Small mic).
- Welcome. - Hello.
- Thank you. - You are very welcome,
it is always a pleasure to be at the service of a beautiful girl. Have a seat please.
Alright, I have already emailed you this week's work plan.
All the people here except Miss Jian are experienced, I don't have to say more.
- Jian... - Jian Yao.
- Your score on the interview was good. Keep it up. - Alright.
So you are Jian Yao.
Hello, Manager Lin.
Why is the director still not here?
The president is talking to him. He will be here soon.
----
Welcome, Director Bo!
Director Bo, have a seat please.
This is Director Bo Jin Yan.
We are honored to work under his lead on the 2nd marketing team and to be expanding and achieving better work.
According to the president, Director Bo is here for the marketing direction and tactics,
not for general daily work. So if you have any tasks in the future, just report it to me, and I will then report to Director Bo.
Director Bo, please say a few words.
Let me make things more clear, I'm just here for a short term.
You don't have to suck up to me and I don't have the energy to deal with it.
I have my own way of doing things.
You just need to accommodate my needs. Then everything will be alright.
When I leave, I will give your performance assessments an A.
Director Bo, the hiring process of your secretary is not done yet. Jian Yao is the new assistant,
she will be your secretary for this period of time.
Do as you wish.
From now on, you are under the direct lead of Director Bo. You temporarily won't be responsible for any other things.
Ok.
----
Come with me.
I didn't know that the director was so cocky.
He's come to our department to practice.
What a pity for Jian Yao.
Explain yourself.
You can't escape the fate of being my assistant.
Bo Jin Yan.
Come in.
Director Bo, excuse me. Bring it in.
Director Bo, where do you want to put the computer?
Put it wherever, as long as it's in my line of sight.
Then I'll leave first, Director Bo.
Don't tell me that there's a case here and that's why you are undercover as a director and had me switched to be your assistant.
I'm delighted to see that you are finally starting to use your brain.
But you're still a little slow to catch on to things.
Bo Jin Yan, how could you be like this? If you're working on a case, then work on the case. How could you not say a thing and then intrude into my professional life?
Do you know how much effort I put in for this job?
This is the position I wished for, for my entire life.
When you work, you don't like to be bothered. I also wish for my job to be as steady,
that nothing useless interferes with my job.
But now look at what you've done. Am I a detective who works for the police force
or a two-faced white-collar worker?
When you leave, how am I going to interact with my co-workers?
Everyone will say that "that's the undercover police worker."
"We have to watch our words when we talk to her." Or am I supposed to follow you on your next case and be ready whenever you call?
I thought...
that you willingly helped me. For the last case, we worked well together.
Those are two different things! My willingness to help you on that case is one thing.
My professional life and personal life being intruded by you is a different thing.
Your EQ can't be so low that you don't even understand this simple principle?
It's time for afternoon tea.
One mocha, one herbal tea, which one would you like?
How much is it? Thanks.
What do you mean how much?
What's wrong?
- Did you cry? - No. Nothing's wrong.
Uh...
Then I'll take my leave first.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Mocha, thanks.
Take it yourself.
----
Actually,
this job won't take much of your time.
The last case only took 5 days.
A simple business case isn't very difficult. It won't waste a lot of my time.
Excuse my bluntness, but do you know what you're doing now?
You are selling low-priced goods for higher prices to other places.
In the future,
do you want to tell your children and grandchildren how many sales you have made?
Or do you want to tell them how many lives you saved?
Nonsense. You're the porter.
My work is in the circulation of commodities, I promote economic development.
It's indispensable.
Okay, Ms. Circulation of Commodities.
Can you take a look at the victim's information?
----
She looks a lot like you.
She committed suicide last month. We're investigating her death.
Don't you only investigate the most dangerous criminals?
Why are you interested in a white-collared professional's death?
I don't have any interest in it. It's just that I can't reject it.
Is she an agent of the ministry of public security?
Do you think that the ministry of public security sends undercover agents out as porters?
Sorry, as a Ms. Circulation of commodities.
Then what's the reason?
Hello?
I know.
- Let's go. - Where?
To see a bothersome woman.
Do you think I like to solve useless cases? Let's go.
President, Director Bo is here.
Hello President, I'm Jian Yao.
Come. Take a seat.
Come.
I thought that your assistant would be like you, an arrogant and strange person.
Of course not.
Is that how you see me?
What do you think?
Who's the one who didn't say a thing and switched me to be your assistant.
Ms. Jian, I'm the one who asked Jin Yan to come to the company to investigate.
He insisted that he would only take the case if you were his assistant, so...
I switched your job responsibilities.
I thought that you two already discussed this.
I never thought that you still only do what you want.
We've already finished discussing it just now.
Let's talk about the case.
Some time ago, the company went to Hong Ye Resort for our semi-annual report meeting.
Wang Wan Wei was found dead in the bathtub of her room. It was a suspected suicide as she left a suicide note.
There are no sign of scars from an attack and the family members requested that there be no autopsy.
In the end, the police closed the case as a suicide.
A suicide has no impact on your company's image.
As the president, to a worker whom you've never met, why do you want to investigate?
It's not that I wanted to investigate.
A month ago, I began receiving these.
It says here that Wang Wan Wei's death was not a suicide and that blackmail was involved.
It says your company's executives concealed the death by giving the family 100,000 yuan and requested the family to refuse the autopsy.
Did you hide it?
Our company is well-known and has around 1,000 employees.
Before I received this, I didn't even know about her death. There's no way I could blackmail anyone.
In this, there is proof of the transaction.
Wang Wan Wei's parents did receive the money. The payer is from an anonymous overseas account.
The person who sent this to you traced the account.
This person has already collected evidence.
This anonymous payer is from America.
Who is it?
It's obvious.
You know this person.
You seem very nervous. Who is it?
Yi Yang.
Who?
Her fiancé.
For the last 6 months, Yi Yang spent most of his time in Hong Kong.
I believe that he's not involved in this case.
But it's from his account.
If you want to blackmail someone,
would you use your own personal account to give them money?
So I hope that you will be able to solve this case quickly.
Find out who's at the bottom of this and what else I don't know.
I don't want this matter to keep bothering me.
Okay, I got it.
But I need you to promise me one thing first.
Is it related to money?
Jian Yao really likes her current job here.
When the investigation is over, I hope that she can continue to stay in the company,
to be a normal employee.
I know you're good at controlling public opinion and covering up the truth.
So I hope that you can it so that people do not to think that she's an undercover police officer,
a two-faced white-collar worker or something mysterious of that sort.
Can you do that?
- No problem. - Thank you.
Home cooked meals are the best.
It's way better than business meals and drinking.
Yao Yao, Jin Yan is going to look like a pig if you continue to feed him like this.
Don't worry about me, I don't get fat no matter how much I eat.
Mr. Bo,
do you know that this sentence is one of the world's top 10 sentences that ask for a beating?
Say it, what do you want me for?
I just invited you to eat.
That's you. Is Jin Yan that kind?
He must have something to ask.
Look into this account,
and all the related information.
Just a reminder, there might be a cover-up of secret trades.
Ordinary people would not be able to find this.
Ordinary people.
Am I an ordinary person?
Li Yi Yang
Are you sure about this? Aren't you afraid I might find some dark secret about your brother-in-law?
Whose brother-in-law?
Li Yi Yang is the fiancé of President Yin.
So she is your big sister.
She is not my sister.
It's just that 20 years ago, her father married my mother.
Then she is your sister.
My parents and her, her parents and me,
there is no blood relationship.
But, she still is your sister...
...by law.
Li Yi Yang is your brother-in-law.
Are you sure this relationship will not interfere with your judgment?
Of course not.
Then what's the next step for us?
You tell me.
Are you sure you want investigate according to my ideas?
This case I'm letting you investigate,
just think of it as the assistant ability improvement assignment.
I'm not your assistant.
You are.
I'm the business assistant of the company.
I'm the marketing director.
- You are not. - Yes I am.
Hey, I'm still here.
These clothes don't suit you.
Go change and let's go.
- What for? - Shopping.
You mean that... what I have at home,
you also want to buy a set of each.
Cushions, blankets, paperweight, rice...
didn't you say that you couldn't understand why I did that yesterday?
To be more accurate, it's two sets.
Fu Zi Yu heard about it, he wants it too.
Don't you think this is the best decision?
You did all the trivial, miscellaneous and unproductive work.
If you share this with us, then it can improve your efficiency by three times.
Bo Jin Yan, is this how you compliment people?
I admire your taste and look down on your efficiency,
It isn't contradicting.
You want me to buy it alone?
Then why are you here?
Do you think I wanted to come?
Fu Zi Yu is on a business trip today.
So you came to be the driver huh?
Thank you.
Why are you giving this to me? A free fish for ten of these?
Miss, you have great taste, this bed is a hot item.
You can try it.
I assure you it isn't tainted with any strange smells,
it is also very steady and firm.
So if you roll around on it, it won't break?
Sir, don't worry, even if you roll around, it won't break.
You guys can feel free to continue having a look, if you have any problems call me anytime.
You're going to roll around in your bed?
Of course not.
Only Chen Mo rolls around in my bed.
Jian Yao,
move in with me.
We can easily meet, if you live with me.
We would be more productive.
What I am not interested in, happens to be what you enjoy and is good at.
This way, we can further improve the efficiency of our work.
Sir and Miss, are you satisfied with this bed?
Please do not talk for a second.
In short,
you are generating a greater value.
Apologies, I'm not interested.
Why are you not interested?
You haven't answered me yet. Why aren't you interested in living with me?
Don't think about it ever again. I enjoy a peaceful environment.
I'm not moving to the upper floor and that's that.
You made a wrong decision.
Mom, forgive my weakness,
let me experience the last emptiness and indulgence,
the start and the end of the ever darkness.
I've been doing many wrongful things.
One step in the wrong direction, and every step after that.
I can no longer turn back.
So I'm not going to do so anymore.
I am choosing to end everything.
Mom, there still is 20,000 ¥ in my bank account,
the PIN is my birthday.
It's not much, I'm sorry.
Mom, don't be sad. This decision
is a relief to me.
I cannot change my fate, nor can I resist it.
But at least I can choose to end it all.
My life ends in my own hands.
Goodbye, Mom. Don't grieve too much,
tomorrow is another day.
Regards, your unfilial daughter.
I finished reading the note.
One of the most unneeded qualities to be my assistant is sensibility.
Now can you go back to your normal state?
All women are emotional.
Unless you find a man to be your assistant. Moreover, a man that can
cook for you, help you fish,
help you decorate the house, take care of Chen Mo
and doesn't mind your picky, detailed personality.
Did the police think the note was sincere,
so they concluded it to be a suicide? There is nothing wrong with this, right?
Emotions are the hardest things possible to be scientifically and quantitatively judged.
If they closed the case just based on this point,
then all murders can just be covered up as suicides. That's too easy.
The murderers only have to write down a sentence claiming suicide and everything would be fine.
I hate the beginners' questions.
It's so simple it's boring.
Quickly say it.
This is the note she wrote to prepare her suicide.
First, when she wrote the note,
she was not forced by anyone
because the writing is clear, using cursive
and is consistent throughout.
If she was forced by someone, then in her words,
there would be many mistakes or pauses.
Besides this point, there are also many other proof of validity.
For example, when she wrote the note,
she used many metaphors.
For instance, the defeat of the general,
shell, endless hole, abyss,
and there are many repeated words and sentences.
Such as "Mom, don't be afraid,"
and some broken sentences, "my life has become gray
and dirty." If someone faked the note,
or forced her to write it,
there wouldn't be anything like this.
They could require the note to be clear and short.
To the point, making sense,
to avoid having loopholes.
However, from the writing of this suicide note, we can see
quite a few grammar mistakes and personal habits.
So this is a real note.
People who lie will try to cover up the lie.
But the people who speak the truth do not think that much.
So what should we do right now?
First we need to investigate the reason of her suicide. To find out everything about her.
How do we start the investigation?
What are some of the reasons why women suicide?
Relationship problems, work problems,
economic pressure, health problems...
That's perfect.
I have no interest in things like this.
You decide.
Then, we have to start investigating from the person's background.
Have you read any criminal psychology books?
Office lady being a detective. It's a given.
----
Jian Yao,
what are you doing?
I'm helping Director Bo find a document.
I will tell other people to print one for you.
Let's go, I'll treat you to lunch.
How about another day?
You worry too much, there will be other people there.
Our co-workers are all there.
Let's go.
Here.
Let me ask you,
what's the best food here?
Wang Wan Wei's blog was deleted.
Who could have done it? If it was problems about love,
would it be because of him?
Do you think it would taste good with or without alcohol?
This would differ depending on your preference.
I like... Give me a recommendation.
Or is it him?
Hello?
If it's pressure from work,
Alright, alright, I'll sort it out right away.
I am sorry. Really sorry.
Would Manager Lin not like Wang Wan Wei?
Let me tell you,
this is a secret. Manager Lin is very strict with her subordinates.
Especially towards such a pretty woman like you.
Be careful of being eaten by the big wolf.
Hey, Old Zhou, who's the big wolf?
Just eat your food. Don't mind him.
Sorry, Director Bo is looking for me, I'm leaving first.
I'm done too, I'll take you there.
Hey, pretty miss,
why are you leaving as soon as he calls? Are you that scared of him?
It's better to be careful.
I say, you really are a rookie.
Relax, take a deep breath.
It's there. Remember what I told you.
Bye bye.
If I were you, I would avoid having too much contact with them.
Could your tone be not so repulsive?
They didn't touch me at all.
What are you doing?
I am sorry for touching you by accident.
Absurd.
What is this?
Wang Wan Wei's blog.
You checked it already. I checked it as well but it was all deleted.
Where did you find this?
You will have to learn to keep up with my pace.
----
September 4th. Today he wore a new suit, very handsome,
I met him and he said the documents I wrote up were very good.
I'm so happy. November 9th. Today, he wore a light blue tie,
I realized he has a lot of blue ties.
Does he know that blue is also a color I like?
In the future, it will also be my new favorite color.
November 20th. What should I do? I think I like him more and more.
If my heart is the mouth of the spring, then he is the clear water,
little by little, occupying and filling up my entire heart.
December 28th. Why aren't things going smoothly?
He still smiles while talking to me.
But in his heart, does he think I'm stupid and useless?
This he...
It's Mai Chen.
Even though Pei Ze had a blue necktie,
but she used words like dim light, clean and spring to describe this boy.
It has to be Mai Chen,
because that is the impression Mai Chen leaves with everyone.
Welcome.
This does not fit Pei Ze's temperament
Spring,
dim light,
comparison.
This woman's thinking, I just really can't understand.
But I agree with your point.
It's Mai Chen.
What kind of metaphor would a woman use on me?
Can we compare you to anything?
What do you want to say?
First, I declare that my metaphor isn't meant to offend you in any way.
A Labrador with pride and arrogance.
Your metaphors will never be as good as Wang Wan Wei's.
♫ Perhaps letting go of love will draw it closer to me than owning it. ♫
