Ms Ho.
Welcome on board Brainman.
Brainman's CEO is welcoming me with her team. I'm really ﬂattered.
It's our honor to have you on board.
From today, she will be our legal consultant.
If you have any question, you can ask her.
Congratulations, Ms Ho.
Thank you.
Let me show you your office.
You refused to see me all this time. Why have you suddenly changed your mind?
Just one word. Money.
I insisted on being a good guy before. Actually I was wrong.
As long as I have money, I will have dignity and freedom.
Then I can protect myself and my family.
How do you want me to help you?
I want to work for you in Brainman.
I thought you would get married and have a child
after you're released from jail instead of doing so many things.
I've already lost the baby. I've lost everything now.
I have nothing left to lose.
From today, I'm willing to do anything.
Anson, thank you for giving me this chance. I'll remember who helped when I was in need.
I get what I need too. Besides, women should help each other.
Cheers.
When I met you last time, I knew you had already planned everything.
But thinking is different from reality.
Can you really handle your relationship with Chow Sir?
We've already broken up.
Are you sure you want to do that?
I've chose my path. I have nothing to say to him anymore.
Anson, you want to see me?
Come in. I'm sure you two know each other already.
From today, you're colleagues.
Hello, Miss Ho.
That's for what you did to me before. Now we're even.
Forget what happened in the past. From now on, let's work together happily.
I look forward to our cooperation.
I dragged you hereto look at the paintings with me. Are you bored?
Of course not. I used to study art when I was in school.
But I knew Grandpa wouldn't like that.
He definitely wouldn't like that.
Right. That's why I gave it up. It's good I have company now.
Next time when I go to an art exhibition in France,
I can ask you to go with me.
Good idea.
Hi, Florence.
Hello, Anson.
Hello, Mr Chai.
Hello.
Ms Ho, it's been quite a while. How are you doing?
I'm fine. I work in finance now.
I work for Ms Fong. I hope I'll have a chance to work with you.
Thank you.
Have we met before?
Have we?
Let's get to know each other again. My name's Chai Yat-sing.
Any painting you like?
Do you come to the gallery to look at the paintings or to chase girls?
Excuse me please.
You just changed your job to work in finance.
Are you used to it?
Yes, I am. I'm very happy with my life right now.
I'm also very happy that I can start over.
I don't want to talk about some people or some things.
I don't want to ask about them either.
Amazing. You pretend to be a good boy in front of your aunt.
But you're working with Cheuk Yuk behind her back.
Right. You were Cheuk Yuk's wife. So you know I'm working with him.
But I'm not worried that you'll expose me.
Because you don't know who's a friend or a foe until the end.
Sir, a Ms Ho wants to give you this painting.
Easy with your shoulders. Push your elbows out. Tilt your head.
When the clay pigeon enters your line of sight, aim and shoot.
Ready. Shoot.
Life is like shooting. You must be ruthless.
Identify your target and strike.
I agree that a person must be ruthless.
But I seldom get beat by women. And I wont let them to lead me.
Do you want to challenge me then?
Last time you gave me a painting. Now you've taught me how to shoot.
I think I should give you a gift in return.
Bye.
You're home? It's so late. Where have you been?
I went for a drink with a friend. We kept chatting.
Ordinary friend or boyfriend?
Ordinary friend.
You're a big girl. It's normal to be dating someone.
I'm not an autocrat.
OK. Are you hungry?
Why don't I make you some late-night snacks?
You're making it?
I promise you that if you get the runs, I'll take you to a doctor.
When did you learn to make different kinds of dressing?
I learned it online recently. Try them.
OK...Yummy.
Next time after I've learned to make more dressing,
I'll ask you to try them again.
OK.You must try them too...It's really good.
Try this one.
You two took the day off and borrowed a car to pick me up. Thank you.
We are buddies.
Chi Nga, pat my right leg with your left hand...You've really recovered.
Look at her hair. It's grown back already. She looks exactly like before.
No, I'm still very slow doing math.
You can use a calculator to do that.
That's right. Fei can't do math at all.
Are you teasing me?
I dare not...I just want to make you happy. But it's a bit hard.
Don't talk nonsense.
It happened so long ago.
How come I don't understand what you two are talking about?
What are you talking about?
Nothing. Just pretend I never said anything.
You didn't hear anything.
That's right. Let's take you to Pig Trotter's home first
so you can get some rest, OK?
How are Mentor and your older sister? I asked you guys in the email before.
You didn't give me a clear answer. How are they doing?
So many things have happened in half a year.
How's Madam doing now?
She's changed completely after she was released from jail.
She works for Fong Ming-yu at Brainman now. I don't know what she's thinking.
What about Mentor?
He's even worse. He drinks and gets sloppy.
He pretends in front of us
because he doesn't want us to find out that he's drinking again.
But he actually smells of alcohol even from a distance.
Leung Sir keeps bossing him around.
I'm afraid he'll get into trouble very soon.
Have you guys seen Him?
Since the incident, we haven't asked him to come out.
We don't know what to talk to him about. But recently I met his former colleagues.
They said that since he resigned, no one knows what he's doing.
He's a grown-up. We don't need to worry about him.
All these things happened because of me. I feel like I owe them.
Don't think like that. You must get more rest.
We'll deal with everything else.
That's right. Don't think so much. Look. Be a positive person like us.
I just learned this gesture. Get up. Let's do this together. Put down the drink.
What's that? Come on.
It's positive energy.
I joined a gym after you left. Did you notice?
Close my eyes. All is dark. Everyone has his own secrets.
If we must sink together, it's better than treading the earth alone.
Conﬂicts carry on. The satisfaction is boundless.
There's never been justice.
Hello.
Mentor, you've finally answer the phone.
I'm very busy at the police station.
I know you're at home. I'm right outside your door.
Am I candid or am I acting that well?
Have a seat.
Mentor, you said you wouldn't drink again.
Chu told me that you've completely recovered. That's good.
I know what happened. I'm so sorry.
That's history already. Why talk about it again?
If you could really let go, you wouldn't be acting like this.
Sheung-yee's left. She's right. I failed to protect her.
She was right to leave. I'm broke. I don't have power or status.
What am I? Just a lousy sergeant.
Why did I want to seek the truth, fairness and justice? I was so stupid.
Don't be like this. This is actually my fault.
Are you with Cheuk Yuk now?
No.
It's fine.
Sheung-yee works for them now. Why resist?
It's bad for your health to drink like this.
It's good to get drunk. I won't feel I exist.
What's the point of being sober? I can't do anything. Leave me alone.
It's a new day when I wake up. What's the big deal?
I don't fear the storm because you're here. We meet in laughter and pride.
Time ﬂies. It's dull. But I'm holding your hand...
To our cooperation. Cheers.
Cheers...
Sing: Want to go for a drink?
Yee: Happy hour with colleagues right now. You asked to late.
Long time no see. You're back?
Yes.
It's good that you've recovered completely.
Thank you. Actually I want to talk to you.
What's the matter?
I went to see Mentor. He's drinking again. He's even drinking a lot.
He seems to be very unhappy.
If you want to persuade me to get back together with him, don't.
It's impossible.
I don't want to get involved with your relationship with him.
But can you help me talk to him?
You don't want him to give up on himself, do you?
But we've already broken up.
He just listens to you.
He's a grown-up.
If he doesn't care about himself, who can help him?
I'm so sorry.
You and Mentor ended up like this because of me. Sorry.
Don't be silly. Why apologize to me? I'm OK now.
I want to ask you out for a drink to get your advice.
How did you climb up so fast after you left CCB?
You even became Mr Cheuk's good friend.
Are you really mad at me?
No, why would I be mad? I wouldn't have this life if not for you.
I want to thank you for that.
Hey, my colleagues are waiting for me over there. Let's go for a drink next time.
I've recovered completely and returned to Hong Kong.
Please write back.
Financial news: Fong Ming-yu is in charge of Brainman.
She's confident that its development will be better than before.
Mr Cheuk, there are rumors that you suddenly got a divorce with your wife
and left Brainman because you cheated on her.
So she forced you to leave.
Don't get it wrong. Anson and I parted amicably.
I left Brainman because I didn't see eye-to-eye
with the other shareholders regarding the development of the company.
I hope I can develop my new company
according to my own new ideas.
There's a rumor that you got a divorce because there was a third party.
You and your wife are now enemies. Is that true?
Work's work;our personal lives are separate Anson and I will forever be good friends.
Of course, we have a new role. We're competitors now.
But it's healthy competition.
Ms Chai, some committee members
want to apply for approval to be absent from Monday's ad hoc meeting
regarding the directors' lock-up period.
Not everyone will be able to come.
Do you want to reschedule the meeting?
We've asked the people in the industry to come.
We can’t reschedule the meeting.
Mr Cheuk and I will be present. It's OK.
Did you see the news report?
Cheuk Yuk was hospitalized after a car crash an hour ago.
Mr Cheuk, this is from Ms Chai.
Thank you very much.
Betty, go out first...
How are you? What did the doctor say about your injury?
It's just a minor bone fracture.
But I have to stay in the hospital for a while.
So you can't come to the meeting
on the proposed extension of the listed companies' directors' lock-up period
in the sale and purchase of their company's shares?
This will be a tough job for you.
I know lots of public companies and people in the securities trade
object to the proposal to extend the lock-up period to three months.
I believe they'll counter propose to cut short the period to a month.
Why don't you consider that?
I suggested extending it to three months merely for the sake of public interest.
Both the government and many scholars support my proposal.
I have great confidence that the resolution will be passed.
I'm just making a suggestion. I believe you can handle this.
It seems watching the show from the sidelines has energized you.
Get some good rest.
Thank you.
Mom, take it easy. Be careful. Can you manage?
Yes.
Mom, you don't need to worry about Sis Yee.
She's working in finance now. She's making a lot more money than before.
Really? That's great. Yee, don't wear yourself out anymore.
You neglected Yung before. He took care of us when you were away.
OK.
Why hasn't Yung been here?
Oh, he's busy. Right, Fei?
Yes.
Fei, you don't need to worry about me. My job is really good.
I can solve all the family's financial problems.
You said you wanted to get a master's degree. I can help you.
No, thanks. I've saved up myself. I can manage.
When Mom get better later,
I can cancel my leave and go back to work in the bank.
Go back to work in the bank? Weren't you...?
Hush.
Mom can't walk well now.
We have to go to work. We can’t look after her.
So I've decided to hire a helper to take care of Mom.
Good idea. We'll chip in.
Chip in? Last time when I went to PDSD, they said you were...
Actually, there's a big shot who really likes Hing,
and offered a very high salary to work for him.
Right. My new boss really likes my cooking.
Right.
You're all doing so well. I'm so relieved.
Dig in, Mom. Come on.
Thank God Sis Yee didn't keep asking just now. It's rare, right?
Actually we were all lying. No one wanted to tell the truth.
But Mom will find out sooner or later that Brother Yung and Sis Yee have broken up.
Let's deal with it then.
But it's really odd that Sis Yee works in Fong Ming-yu's firm now.
Maybe she wants to scam some money off them like us.
Honey.
Yes?
Thank you for agreeing to help me implement this plan to make big money.
Please don't say that. I'm so unlucky to be laid off by the bank.
Look, the Cheuk's have set us up. Now, Ginnie's the unlucky one.
Ginnie: What are you doing right now?
It's Ginnie again. What are you doing right now?
Honey, how should I reply?
Give it to me. Going to bed soon. I was thinking of you. See you tomorrow.
Done. Look. If she sends a message to you again later, don't reply.
Let her feel uneasy.
You're so good at courting girls. You make the props and write the lines too.
I always knew that I'm more meticulous than you.
Honey, you're so nice.
It's good you know that. I'm warning you.
Don't really fall in love with her just because you see her often.
I won't spare you.
Are you crazy? I just want her money.
Is your leg hot?
What do you think?
Aunt Fun came to see you just now. What was her reaction?
She didn't believe it. But she couldn't do anything about it.
Now she has to handle the lock-up period on her own. She's going to be so busy.
Since she's so busy, she won't get in our way.
I've already asked a trader in the bank to help me. He's found a system loophole.
I want you to trade accumulators according to this document.
OK...That's a huge sum.
Given my position in the bank,
it's impossible for me to make such a high-risk investment.
Use the system loophole. Then no one will find out that soon.
Mr Chai, if someone finds out, I'll go to jail.
Just get it done according to my plan.
You'll be generously rewarded.
I guarantee you'll only go to jail for a couple of years.
When you're released, you can enjoy early retirement.
Take the money with you to live abroad and enjoy yourself.
He'll use a secret account in the bank
to trade with your new company, buying the accumulator of the company's shares.
You'll be in control of the company's share price.
The bank will keep losing money to the company.
I can get all its money in a short period of time
without anyone noticing.
Can we trust that trader?
I've struck a deal with him. He'll take all the heat.
Everyone will think the bank...
followed the footsteps of the traditional bank in England.
They'll think the trader is a genius.
Good.
How about the transfer of the money?
The money we win from the bank
will be wired to an offshore BVI company.
When the bank collapses,
this company will act as the white knight to rescue it.
Dad has left me some shares.
There'll also be the shares held by the BVI company.
Then my shareholding will be greater than Chai Pui-fun's.
I'll have enough control to officially kick her out.
Then you can celebrate.
This is a good deal for you too. You make a profit at no cost.
You'll get lots of the bank's shares.
Most important of all,
your dream of becoming SMAC's chairman will come true.
Would you pray for you aunt here?
I think even God can't help her.
Excuse me, nurse. Has this patient been discharged?
No. Mr Cheuk's friend came to visit him. So he's not in the ward.
You came to visit me?
I heard on the news that you were injured.
So I came to see how you're doing. Since you're fine, I can go.
You came because you care about me. You're concerned.
So why do you want to leave?
I just care about a friend. That's why I came.
Why are you fooling yourself? It's a fact that you've fallen for me.
Why do you want to run away?
You may say whatever you like. I can't let go of the past.
No one is perfect.
I can't forget what you've done.
This is a new dressing. Try it.
It's so good. Why don't you show me how to make it?
I think my brother would really like it.
OK.
What's the matter? You don't want me to talk about my brother?
Chi-yin, thank you so much for hiring me to work here.
I've learned a lot.
But I'm afraid this will be my last day of work here.
Because I'm worried that
I won't be able to hold myself back anymore if I keep working here.
Why? What do you mean you won't be able to hold yourself back?
Hing, please don't leave. You're really helpful.
Is the pay too low?
No...This is for you.
You'll understand after you read it. Bye.
Hing.
Chi-yin, we haven't known each other long. But I've already fallen for you.
Your smile tells me that you're so innocent.
You're not calculating.
Your smile makes you look like an angel to me.
I feel so comfortable and happy when I'm with you.
Too bad we live in two different worlds. You're even Cheuk Yuk's younger sister.
It's impossible for us to be together. But I want to tell you that I love you.
Darn it. There's no response from her. It'll be so embarrassing to go back.
Hing, please don't leave. I looked at the photo album already.
Let me leave.
Don't leave. Please don't. I need you so much.
Don't be like this. It's impossible for us to be together.
I'm begging you please. I don't want to lose you again.
But your brother won't accept me.
As long as we love each other, it doesn't matter what other people think.
You mean you love me and you're willing to be with me?
Yes.
But don't tell your brother for the time being that we're together.
I want to achieve something in my career before we tell people about this.
Is that OK?
The lock-up period
before the annual results announcement is 60 days now.
I already think it's too long.
If you want to review it, you can consider shortening it to a month.
We're proposing to extend the lock-up period to three months
in consideration of small investors.
If the directors,
trade their stocks at year end before the announcement is made,
it will be very unfair to the small investors.
Anyway, the commercial sector won't support your proposal.
I heard that over two hundred listed companies are signing jointly
to oppose to the proposal regarding the lock-up period.
Six professional bodies and around 20 high-profile people
will make an announcement together to oppose it.
I know you want to protect the interest of the small investors.
But who's more inﬂuential in society?
It's the major shareholders of listed companies, Chairlady.
So we won't take action whenever something is difficult to implement?
Ms Chai, your cup of tea.
Thank you.
Ms Chai, I've already updated
the schedule for interviews with reporters for the next couple of days.
I've sent it to you. Have you read it yet?
Sorry, I haven't.
The lock-up period proposal has been such a headache. I'm sorry.
Never mind. Take it easy.
You haven't eaten all day. Shall I buy you some food?
It's that late? I'm sorry. You had to work overtime till now.
Go home. I'm OK.
I'm about to leave. But I wanted to remind you that
Mr Chai's coming tomorrow morning to report to you on bank matters.
OK. Have you informed the other members to come to the meeting at 10am tomorrow?
I already have.
Ask my driver to come, please. Thank you.
I'm sorry. I'm busy working. I can't answer you call right now.
Please leave a message. I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
It's me. You're still so busy that you can't answer the phone?
Call me when you get this message. Or you can text me.
I just want to know if you're OK. Bye.
Let's go near Chow Sir's home.
Pull over.
Yes, Ms Chai.
Yung, how are you? I've been trying to reach you for days.
Leave me alone.
Stop drinking. Let me take you home, OK?
Don't follow me.
Ms Chai, do you need help?
No, thanks. Go home first. I'm OK.
OK. You take care then.
Where's my beer? Where is it?
That's enough for tonight.
Get me beer.
That's enough.
I want to drink. Leave me alone. My heart hurts so bad. Do you know that?
If I get drunk, I can forget how much my heart hurts, OK?
You've been here all night? I'm sorry for troubling you.
You didn't trouble me at all. You didn't do anything yesterday.
Next time, don't drink on the street. Come to my place. I have lots of nice wines.
Let me see you home.
No, thanks. I'll ask my driver to take you home later.
I'm going home to shower and get changed.
Then I have to go to a meeting.
You go home and get some sleep. You still need to work.
Thank you.
Ms Chai hasn't come in yet?
Good morning.
Good morning, Ms Chai.
Aunt Fun.
You came so early? Come on in.
OK.
Please make us two cups of coffee.
OK.
Why did you come so early to see me?
There are some urgent bank documents that require your signature.
I knew you'd be here, so I came here to see you.
Sit down.
Aunt Fun...You look really tired.
Yes. I've been dealing with difficult case in SMAC.
And something happened to my friend. Anyway, it's a lot of hassle.
Mind your health.
I will. During this period,
I really need to spend a lot of time dealing with SMAC issues.
So I have to rely on you to take care the bank's business.
No problem.
Actually the bank is running quite well. So you really don't need to worry.
Last time you told me that there's a problem in the bank's system.
Have you dealt with it yet?
I'm working on it. Actually it's not a serious problem.
Anyway, I'll keep you posted.
OK. You're so mature. I'm so relieved.
Please don't say that. I'm just doing my job. OK. I won't keep you. Bye.
OK.
OK. Bye.
Thank you very much.
Surprise!
Is there a show?
Last time you taught me how to shoot. I said I wanted to buy you a gift in return.
I think this gift suits you.
But Cheuk Yuk has the same car.
Aren't you happy that you're on the same level as Cheuk Yuk?
My driver's license has been revoked.
I'll be your driver.
May I?
Where would you like to go?
The driver makes the call.
A game is just a game.
She'll never be the one I love the most.
I let you two be together. Let's get a divorce.
I'll give you everything you want.
Ms Fong, I found by chance
a document related to the cooperation between Mr Chai and Mr Cheuk.
Please check your email. See if it's of use to you.
Mrs Cheuk, you're leaving?
Yes.
Mr Cheuk.
It was so boring staying in the hospital these last couple of days.
It was worth the while. Chi Nga went to visit you.
Women cave in easily.
Carry on.
This is the document of the new company that you and Mr Chai hold overseas.
The shareholdings for you two are duly allotted. This is a BVI company.
So no one will find out who its real owners are.
As soon as Chai Yat-sing's side starts doing their part,
I'll announce that I'm buying back my company's shares.
Then we can easily win billions of dollars from the bank.
Then we'll use that money to buy back the bank's shares.
If someone wants to investigate this,
he'll just find the trader who appropriated funds to buy accumulator.
Boss Cheuk, this is a brilliant move.
This is just the first half of the game.
Congratulations. Your wish will come true very soon.
Congrats to you too; you'll be the chairman very soon.
What about me?
Why don't you include me since this is such a good deal?
What are you talking about?
I know you two are doing something big. You're really amazing.
You're playing such a great move to make Chai Pui-fun step down.
But if she or the police find out what you're doing,
do you think you can still pull it off?
What do you want?
I want in. The three of us will be partners.
We'll work together. You'll have my full support. Otherwise...
Are you trying to blackmail me?
It's a matter of angles and perspectives.
You may think that I'm doing that. But I don't think so.
You two fight like husband and wife.
Why get me involved?
Cut the crap. Deal or no deal?
Deal.
Cheers.
You like me. Don't fool yourself.
You can say whatever you like. I can't let go of the past.
You came to listen to music too? Is this the work of fate?
Actually, I have a lot to think about. I'm really bothered.
I just want to quietly listen to music.
You don't want to talk. But will you have a drink with me?
Why didn't you ask me to join you?
I'm not welcome? Didn't you say we're still friends?
Please have a seat.
Thank you...Chi Nga, you haven't really fallen for this guy, have you?
Chi Nga...What are you doing now?
I guess we can't befriends. Because I'm still heartbroken.
