You seemed to have known you'd just be a visitor.
You have so few things in your locker.
I may be leaving, but I'll forever remember my days in CCB.
You'll forever be my good mentor.
You call me your mentor.
But I can't make such a good subordinate stay.
Actually I was really lucky to meet you. I feel so lucky.
There's a rumor that
Cheuk Yuk survived the questioning session in LegCo
because of an anonymous email.
Now that you're leaving. People will suspect you.
Have you thought about how you'll deal with that?
I don't have too many things to take away.
This cup is the most important. Do you remember this, Mentor?
I do. When you first joined CCB,
you used paper cups for water a whole month.
I couldn't help buying you that cup.
I remember you told me that a cop faces crime all the time.
In particular there's the temptation of money working in CCB.
We can easily go astray.
So you gave me this cup to remind me who I am.
I will always remember who I am.
No matter where you go or what you do, you must answer to your own conscience, OK?
OK.
Don't be so upset. We can throw a farewell party for Chi Nga later. I...
It's really a shame.
What's the matter with you guys?
Chi Nga just resigned. She wasn't killed in the line of duty.
Can you say something nice?
Mentor, we must accept the reality.
It's not a bad thing that Chi Nga's not a cop anymore.
She could do much better elsewhere.
I really don't get it.
There hasn't been any disciplinary action. Why did she want to leave so soon?
Forget about it. Let's not talk about this anymore, OK?
Yung, come into my office.
Yes, madam
Sit down. The case with SMAC's Cheng Kin-sum, how's that going?
Sheung-fei and the others are checking the cash flow and records of his company.
So far we haven't found evidence of false accounting or making false documents.
The non-executive director of Cheng Kin-sum's company is Chai Pui-fun.
I want her to assist in the investigation.
See if she knows the financial status of Cheng Kin-sum's company.
OK. When do you want to meet her?
She's very high profile.
If we ask her to come to CCB, and the reporters find out about it,
it'll ruin our plan.
So I want you to go see her.
You want me to see her?
Yes. You're more experienced.
OK.
I'm going to SFC for a meeting.
Follow the case with the junior teammates.
Let's go to dinner together tonight.
Thank you for cooperating with the police. Thank you.
You're welcome. We've been friends for years.
You haven't had any water.
I was too focused on work.
This studio is huge. It's open and bright.
Right. I bought this place for convenience.
It must be expensive to renovate a practice room like this.
It's far less than what I paid Antonio.
You mean the world dancing champion who often appears on TV for charity shows?
You know him too?
The magazines say he's very popular among wealthy women.
That I don't know. I just appreciate his dancing skills.
Besides, it's healthy to dance. It helps reduce my stress.
I'm not gifted in dancing at all.
I knew that more than ten years ago.
You still regret it?
No. I still find it really funny.
I deserve to be laughed at.
I went with you to the annual ball of your company that year.
I had practiced for a month.
But I was so clumsy when I was actually dancing with you.
I kept stepping on your feet.
But you persisted even though you twisted your ankle.
It wasn't easy.
I never twisted my ankle chasing bad guys.
But I twisted it as soon as I started dancing. It was so embarrassing.
You have so many embarrassing moments. This can't be the worst.
That's why you always say I'm dumb.
I never said that. I just said you're inflexible.
It's the same as dumb.
You're saying that yourself.
I can't believe we can sit down and talk again after so many years.
These past few years, when I read the newspapers,
I knew you were doing well in your career. And you know how to enjoy life too.
I'm really happy for you.
You look great too.
Do you still drink tea every day and play soccer every week?
More or less. I'm just a bore.
Hi, Antonio.
How are you today?
How are you?
OK.
Good. Let me introduce a friend to you. Mr Chow Sun-yung. Antonio.
Nice to meet you.
Hello...I won't interrupt you two.
OK. Call me.
OK. Bye.
Bye.
Bye...OK.
OK. Why don't we warm up first?
OK.
Honey.
Yes?
I kept wondering before whether we ran into that madam Chi Nga by chance.
Now it seems that it was intentional.
What have you got?
That reporter Yuen Sheung-him told me that Chi Nga has already left CCB.
He said she lost Chow Hon-kau's info.
But she resigned before CCB formally took any action against her.
So I think she could be related to that anonymous email.
Has she come to see you after you met her in China?
Nope.
Interesting.
Don't think so much. Hurry and go take a bath.
You need to get up soon to keep an eye on the market.
Right. How come Ginnie's not home yet?
Maybe she's still at the farm.
Are you hungry?
Shall I ask the helpers to cook you something?
I'm exhausted. I want to sleep.
Ginnie, I need your help with something. Will you help me please?
What is it?
We're organizing a charity bail. I need your input.
Charity?
Yes.
For which organization?
For World Endangered Species Fund.
We're also donating some money to local animal protection organizations.
It has to do with conservation, like what you're doing.
Of course I'll support such a meaningful event.
It's a deal then. Thank you.
Goodnight.
See? As soon as Ginnie talks about environmental protection,
nature or animal protection, she softens.
I've given you a chance to talk to your younger sister now.
You're the smartest.
I have a gift for you later. But I won't tell you what it is yet.
OK. I'll give you a reply after the meeting tomorrow, OK?
Buy me a sandwich and grapefruit juice. I want to read the documents in the car.
OK. I'll go get it.
OK. Miss Chai, this lady wants to see you.
Hello, Miss Chai. I've spoken to your secretary Betty many times.
She said your schedule's really tight and you can't see me.
So I took the liberty of coming uninvited today.
Please get on the car.
OK.
I made this bird's nest in almond sauce and fish maw soup myself.
You stay up at night more often than my husband.
You need more replenishment.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
You're welcome.
Mrs Cheuk, you're known to be capable.
I'm direct and upfront too. Just talk.
I appreciate your directness very much.
I sincerely want to invite you
to the charity ball organized by Virtue and Beauty Society.
So it's a charity ball for World Endangered Species Fund and SPCA (Hong Kong).
That's pretty meaningful.
You're known to be a dog lover.
I'm sure you'll be happy to lead the first dance to raise funds for us.
You've really done a lot for endangered species.
Being serious and prepared shows a basic level of sincerity.
I hope you'll come to the ball so more people will support it.
It's a blessing for Cheuk Yuk to have you as his wife.
It's also my blessing to be married to him.
You're so modest. You're really capable.
But a truly capable woman doesn't just make her man a king.
She can make him a good emperor.
The important thing is that an emperor is a good person. Don't you agree?
Good advice. You're so wise. I'm just clever...
I won't keep you. Remember to have the soup.
Thank you. Mrs Cheuk, see you at the charity ball.
Thank you.
Chi Nga, I wish you'll grow prettier and smarter.
I wish you good health. Have a son every year.
What are you talking about?
Thank you.
Cheers.
You two are supposed to farewell her.
Why do you sound like she's marrying someone?
Isn't it like a New Year's greeting?
We're not like Sheung-fei who's pulling a long face.
Chi Nga will feel bad.
I'm really going miss her.
Although I don't work in CCB anymore, I'm still a CC buddy.
Exactly. We can meet anytime. Right.
Actually this isn't you fault. Why do you want to leave?
Is it because the pay is too low?
Or you feel bad because people suspect you?
None of the above. The reason is simple.
I'm not right for CCB. CCB's not right for me.
But you were so devoted at work. You were so responsible.
I thought before that as long as I work conscientiously,
I can achieve what I want.
But now I realize that I'm powerless in many respects despite my will to do well.
We can't even arrest the people we want to catch.
We don't look at instant results when we do police work.
That's why I want to try some other means to do what I want to do.
I'm sorry. Have I let you guys down?
No. Never. You're always gonna be a buddy.
Thank you.
Always.
Thank you...
I just know I've lost.
Yes. Pay me $500 now.
OK. Deduct it from your salary.
What did you two bet on?
Barbecued pork rice.
I bet that you resigned because you couldn't put up with Madam Pushy.
You badmouthed my sister?
You two joked about that?
This had nothing to do with Madam Pushy.
Hurry and make up with her or I really won't know how to deal with this.
We're good.
She can't come today because she has a meeting with the bosses.
She doesn't hold any grudges.
No, Mentor. You two seem like you're at odds in the police station.
Really? That's not true. I'm OK. She the one who's upset.
Mentor, women need to be placated.
Madam Pushy's not an ordinary woman. She won't buy that.
Let's not talk about my problems.
Tonight Chi Nga's the star. Let's talk about her.
OK.
What's next?
No plans. I want to relax for a while. As Chu says...
Don't worry. Enjoy life.
Right.
Cheers...
Mr Cheuk.
I knew you'd come see me.
Why?
Let me ask you a question first. Why have you quit your job at CCB?
I quit because I don't like working there.
Just that simple?
Just that simple.
Before I went to LegCo,
I received an anonymous email containing info about Chow Hon-kau.
This email helped me solve many problems.
Do you think I need to thank this friend?
That won't be necessary.
What's your plan now that you've resigned? Do you want to go on holiday?
I like treating people to holidays.
I prefer making money.
How about this? Lend me some money to invest.
OK. You're direct. How much?
$50 million.
You're quite ambitious.
I'll repay the principal with interest to you in ten days.
OK. I'll open an investment account for you at Brainman.
I want to find out what you can do in such a short period of time.
But mind you, if you suffer a loss and fail to repay me,
I will collect the debt from you.
OK.
Ben, I want you to check Chi Nga's background.
There's been an influx of hot money recently
And the figures in the USA are better than expected.
I believe there's potential for the market to go up more.
A friend asked about the penny stock 84777, which soared recently.
What do you think?
This one is amazing. Why don't we look at its chart first?
What's this 84777 that Master Fat is talking about?
I've never heard of this company before.
Forget it.
Its price kept going up these past two days by almost ten percent.
I'm going to keep buying-
Definitely.
Mrs. No, what's the matter? Everyone's smiling. But you look so upset.
The price of your shares keep going up. My blue chip's not moving at all.
You can buy penny stocks like us.
I'm different. I'm slow and soared.
I can't keep watching the ups and downs of the share price. I can't do that.
I can't help you then. Hey, over here.
Sis Kiu, tea please.
OK.
Mrs. Ho, do you want to make some money?
Your ring's really sparkly.
I made some money recently. I'm fill you in.
Let's go to the market together. I'll talk to you on the way.
Great. Fill me in.
Hey, talk to you later.
OK.
How are you, Miss Unemployed?
You keep staring at the TV. What's your pick?
I don't have any. That's why I'm watching the TV.
What shares has Master Fat recommended lately?
Didn't you tell me not to listen to what the stocks analysts say?
I told you not to believe completely in what they say.
I didn't tell you not to listen to them.
OK. He's been talking about 84777.
I've bought its shares too. I've made some money.
Why does it take him so long to sign his name? Hurry. This is urgent.
How is that possible? It soared day before yesterday.
But then it plummeted yesterday.
If this goes on, I'll lose my principal too.
How can you put all your faith in stocks?
Thank God Mom didn't follow them this time.
There's no free lunch.
Why put your money in some numbers
when you don't know when they'll go up or down?
It's more practical to make money with money.
Mrs. Ho, why are you saying such funny things today?
To make money, you don't need to buy shares.
I've got a good tip to share with you guys.
I bought the book.
Hi, pretty ladies. You want my autograph?
Master Fat, I'm so devoted to you. Why did you treat me this way?
Miss, is there be a misunderstanding between us?
I don't think I've ever met you before.
I listened to your recommendation and bought 847777.
You said its price would go up. Now it's plummeted.
Shouldn't you explain that?
Just that? Did you miss the key sentence?
I watch your program every day. Which sentence did I miss?
Change happens. We must change too. We mustn't stay put. So don't be too upset.
Just keep the shares for now. I have some other favorite shares.
I'll figure out how to help you strike back, OK?
Thank you, Master Fat.
You're welcome. Would you like my autograph?
Sure...
Wait. I came first...
You're so mean not to return my message? This isn't my style.
Kiu Kiu, you're like your name. Nice name.
To Kiu Kiu, wish you great fortune. From Master Fat.
Brother Fat.
Brother Yung, you two know each other?
Yung?
We've known each other for a long time.
But we seldom see each other these past couple of years because we're busy.
You're so amazing now.
You're not just a famous analyst, you're also a published scholar now.
Don't say that about me; we're old friends.
Do you have time to catch up?
Sure.
When did you quit drinking?
It's good my health.
I haven't seen you for a few years. You've gained weight.
When will you play soccer with me again?
As you said, I've gained weight. I'm afraid I can't run now.
You're so modest now?
Back then you were the most boastful guy on our soccer team.
That was back then.
We played soccer whenever we had time. of course I could run.
Now I have to go to dinner and drink with the bosses every night.
It would be nice if I could still run.
I really can't believe Brother Fat would become a stock analyst.
I was a broker at first.
I'm not well educated. What else could I do?
By the way, you've rarely come to see me these past couple of years.
Are you mad at me because I work for Cheuk Yuk?
There are things that you really don't understand.
Since everything became computerized, lots of small firms had to close down.
Lots of brokers were eliminated. I lost my job.
So Cheuk Yuk asked me to work in his new company.
Then he told me to focus on Hong Kong shares.
He's really smart. He foresaw the potential for financial actors.
I understand. You're just trying to make a living.
I won't be so rigid.
Let's meet up more often from now on. Do you remember the coach?
He often says he wants to see our teammates again.
Good.
It's a deal then. By the way, what's the matter with you?
You went to the bookstore alone on Sunday. Don't you need to date someone?
My girlfriend likes her job more than me.
How's your wife? When will you ask her out for dinner with me?
I just got a divorce. I'm single again now.
Do you need to be so happy?
Haven't you heard of this before?
A man is happiest when he gets rich and when his wife dies.
You're really not human.
But I do wonder why you always like to date workaholics.
Are you teasing me?
Isn't it true? You used to date Chai Pui-fun.
Now she's so amazing. She's the chairlady of SMAC.
Do you know the teammates used to always bet when you two would break up?
I'm well qualified to be your counselor in love.
Haven't you hear this before?
With Master Fat, you won't date the wrong girl.
OK. Thank you. Hello, florence. What is it? OK...OK.
Hey, florence is Chai Pui-fun, right? You're still in touch?
I work in Commercial Crime Bureau now. I'm in contact with her for work.
Good.
What are you thinking?
I'm thinking what you're thinking.
florence.
Hi.
One two three. One two three. One two three. Pose. OK. The hand is right.
OK.
The shoulder is right.
Your leg must be very straight in order to look good.
OK.
OK. Let's practice again.
OK.
One two three...come back.
And one two three. Right. Your leg must be very straight.
OK.
What's the matter?
Antonio, that's it for today.
Come on...
No.
Don't be shy. It's fine.
Get off me.
Come on.
Get off me. Help.
florence.
Help. Let go of me.
florence.
Yung, help me. Yung.
Let go of her.
What are you doing?
Are you OK?
I'm fine...Look, Yung.
You trash. What are you trying to do?
I really can't believe Mrs. Cheuk would pay Antonio to do that.
I bet she wants to avenge Cheuk Yuk.
She invited me to the charity bail.
If she could have shot that video,
I'm sure she would have played it at the ball to smear me.
She resorted to such a dirty trick to hurt you.
Why didn't you let me report this to the police?
What's the use?
This will only become a headline in the gossip magazines.
True. You're a celebrity. It's troublesome.
How can you hurt a single woman? Strike her in her career or relationship.
You sound as if you've been through this many times before.
I'm experienced. I've seen so much. A woman must have self-respect.
LOB of people will approach you. Some have a hidden agenda.
Some fake their feelings. They just want to use you.
Some will even smear you. You have to be really careful.
I can't believe it takes much more patience and sacrifice for a woman than a man
to climb to a high position.
Should I be happy or feel sorry for myself after hearing what you just said?
I wonder if I'm used to it already. It's like I'm wearing armor.
I don't feel anything at all.
Hey, are you free in a couple of days?
Why?
You beat up my partner badly. He can't dance with me now.
Who's responsible for that?
Are you serious?
Cheuk Yuk and his wife tried to set you up. You're still going to the bail?
They've done so many things to put on this show.
Don't you want to see the ending?
But be your partner...?
I won't say anything even if you step on my feet.
OK. I'll go with you.
Thank you. You're so nice... Are you really sleepy?
It's late. I won't bother you anymore.
I'll see you out.
No, thanks. I can see myself out.
OK. Thank you very much for your help today.
You're welcome. If someone harasses you again, call me.
I hope this won't happen again.
Bye.
Go to sleep.
Chow Chow, you be the witness. I'm very serious...
Miss Chai Pui-fun, will you marry Mr Chow Sun-yung?
Yung.
You're finally here!
It's good you've come.
Just now I was so worried you wouldn't be coming.
I'll tell them right away that we're ready now. What's the matter?
I really love you so much. But we can't get married now.
What are you talking about? Come with me.
Are your parents objecting?
We're in love with each other. All problems can be solved.
It's not that simple. I want to carry on studying.
I want to get a Ph.D. I have my career and my dreams.
There are so many things. I can't be so irresponsible.
Just go ahead and do whatever you want. I'll wait for you.
You're a very good man.
I can't be so selfish to ask you to wait for me.
I can't do that. I really can't. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Yung. Sorry.
Why did you come here?
I miss you. I wanted to see you sooner.
Have you been here for a while? Why didn't you call me when you got here?
You were working. I don't mind waiting... Wonton noodles with lots of chili oil.
Why are you so nice today? You came to pick me up from work.
You ate wonton noodles with me. Now you're even taking a stroll with me.
Don't you like this? I'm not young.
If I don't even know how to be nice to the person I love, then I'd be a loser.
Did you suffer failure many times before?
I was stupid and childish before. I was too naive.
I didn't consider the happiness of the other person.
By the other person do you mean your very competent ex?
She was Chai Pui-fun.
Chai Pui-fun's your ex? Why didn't you mention that before?
She was past tense already. There's no point bringing her up.
Then why are you talking about her now?
You're the closest person to me now. I think I should let you know.
You tempted after seeing her?
You want to re-kindle the love between you two?
No. That's history already.
After seeing her, I feel like I met an old friend.
Did you two enjoy catching up?
Don't get me wrong. After seeing her, I came to a conclusion.
I understand more how difficult it is for a woman to strive in her career.
So I've decided to be nicer to you.
I think I need to be nicer to you too.
Our opinions may differ over Chi Nga's case.
You may want to go up one more grade before we get married.
No matter what happens in the future, I still love you very much, OK?
Honey.
Yes?
I want to tell you something. But you mustn't be mad at me.
OK.
Chai Pui-fun recently hired
a former world dancing champion to practice with her.
Tiger checked his background. He's cheated rich ladies in Asia.
So we talked to him and asked him to do something for us.
But Ben called just now.
He said the dancing champion is already on the evening flight to Spain.
So you screwed up.
Yes...Can you be gentler please?
Chai Pui-fun is not a simple woman.
How could you deal with her with such a lowly male seducer trick?
I won't make the same mistake again.
Never mind. The game is more exciting with a strong adversary.
Honey.
I heard that Chi Nga's been buying some penny stocks.
Really? I can't believe she's like those housewives. Never mind.
When I lent her the money, I didn't expect she could repay it.
You could just give her the money as her reward. Why bother doing so much?
I asked Ben to check her background. She started out studying drama in the States
but she later switched to finance.
I believe she quit her job in CCB for money.
Maybe it's because her mom suffers from a chronic disease. It's human nature.
She may be greedy.
But that doesn't mean she knows how to make money.
Because everyone thinks of herself as clever
You're so handsome. You look like a model.
Do I really need to dress up like this?
I'm afraid people might mistake me for the captain.
You finally know what you're made of.
This is how you dress for an important occasion.
Try the bow-ties. This one. There are so many stones. It's sharp.
No way. I want to keep a low profile.
Try this one then. Come on. It suits you perfectly.
This one is much better.
Let's get this one, OK? Let me see.
Come on. I think the waistline should be tighter.
You look more handsome like this.
I want to ask once again.
You really don't mind me going to the ball with florence?
You're asking again? You're like an old man.
You really think I lack confidence? You think I'll be jealous?
No. But it's not normal for a woman not to be jealous.
Listen. I'm like your ex. We're both high quality.
We know our priorities. Which is better? I think this ones better.
The chairlady of SMAC has such a high regard of you now.
As your girlfriend, that makes me proud. I should be telling everyone about it.
You're really not afraid that someone will steal me away from you?
I know my boyfriend is handsome and cool. Lots of spinsters are interested in him.
But I have absolute faith in you and myself.
Who would dare steal you away from me?
Look at Ginnie. She looks so different when she's working for charity.
I owe it all to you. This is a success. So many people have come.
But Chai Pui-fun hasn't shown up yet. I think she won't come.
Never mind.
Mr Cheuk, Mrs. Cheuk.
I'm afraid you need an invitation to come here.
I donated a five figure sum to gain entry.
I thought there'd be fine wine and beautiful people here.
Mrs. Cheuk, you were so tough at the boxing school last time.
Today you're so elegant. I really like women like you.
Mrs. Cheuk, Miss Chai has come.
Excuse me.
You lost $50million dollars
so you want to pay me interest for the time being?
Or you think I'll write it off because you flirted with my wife?
It's not the deadline yet.
You don't need to jump to conclusions so soon.
Your wife Anson is really attractive. But I have no interest in you at all.
Miss Chai.
Mrs. Cheuk.
Welcome to our charity ball.
Thank you for your invitation.
Dear guests, thank you for coming.
I'd like to ask our chairlady Mrs. Cheuk Fong Ming-yu to make a speech.
On behalf of Virtue and Beauty Society, I would to thank everyone for coming.
Thank you for your generous support.
In particular I want to thank
the chairman of Sky Land Development Group Dr Li Tin-lung
and Brainman Group's chairman Mr Cheuk Yuk.
They have respectively donated $20 million
to the World Endangered Species Fund.
Brother Yuk, I want to thank you on behalf of the animals.
You consider yourself an animal?
We're also happy that the chairlady of the Stock Market Advisory Committee
Miss Chai Pui-fun will lead the first dance for us.
But before the dance, we'd like to ask Miss Chai to say a few words.
Thank you Mr Cheuk and Mrs Cheuk for your kindness.
You've donated so much money to watch me dance poorly.
My partner tonight was going to be Antonio Cruz, the world Latin dancing champion.
Too bad a minor accident happened to him so he couldn't come tonight.
But he wants to speak to you all.
Don't worry about how I look. I practiced too hard dancing with florence.
I tripped and got hurt. So I can't be there today. I'm so sorry.
In particular I want to apologize to Mr Cheuk Yuk and his wife.
Thank you for you kindness. I couldn't accomplish the mission.
I've let you down. I'm so sorry.
Anyway, I hope you will all continue donating money to support this event.
Have a great time.
Thank you Antonio.
Since my partner couldn't come today, I changed my mind.
I asked an old friend to partner with me for such a meaningful dance.
Please give a warm applause to M. Chow Sun-yung.
How come it's Brother Yung? How do they know each other?
He's her ex.
One, two, three...two, two...
Relax.
The clip just now was so spectacular.
Fighting back is my forte.
Congratulations on finishing the first waltz of your life.
Seriously, I'm still sweating.
Brother Yung, Miss Chai.
Ginnie.
You two danced so well just now.
Thank you.
You two have brought so much life to the ball. Cheers.
Cheers. Actually I managed to put on a great show tonight.
I really enjoyed that very much.
To thank you for coming, Damon has increased his donation.
Really? You need to do that for your own blessing.
Damon, SMAC will be working with CCB.
I believe we can effectively deal a blow to the black sheep.
As a member of SMAC, I'm excited to hear that.
Don't talk about work all the time. It's so boring.
True. I don't enjoy the conversation or the food. How about this, Ginnie?
Come have wonton noodles with me.
Great.
I'll treat you two to a plate of vegetables too.
OK. Come on. Let's go.
OK. Excuse me.
The market has plummeted on the day futures are expiring.
Lots of people have suffered losses. Only Mr Cheuk has won.
Mr Cheuk, we really want to learn from you.
Not everyone has a chance to play against Mr Lau in futures.
He's known to be a crocodile. Who could beat him except for Mr Cheuk?
Don't bullshit. Let's celebrate someday.
Mr Cheuk, Miss Chi Nga wants to see you.
Cheers.
This is good. You're generous.
To congratulate myself, I want you to drink with me too.
You haven't made much money in your account.
I came to repay you.
I used the money to buy the hedge fund index at another firm.
So your buying penny stocks was a smokescreen?
I was following your example. You were speculating on futures falling.
How did you know that?
You created a smokescreen
to make the second and third rate shares go up in price.
The small investors followed suit in the speculation.
Then you speculated on futures falling.
When the time was right,
you asked someone to make negative comments about the market.
Then you sold all the shares you were holding
so the small investors would lose faith.
As soon as they start panicking, they'd make the market collapse.
Naturally Hang Seng Index plummeted. You then got what you expected.
Good. Are you interested in joining my firm?
