Who are you looking for?
Is Mrs Cheuk at home?
Mrs Cheuk, some police officers are here to see you.
What's the matter, Chan Sir?
We received a call reporting that
a woman had been quarreling with someone on the street.
We thought she had been robbed.
When we got to the scene, we found a wallet on the ground.
Mrs Cheuk's identity card was inside, so we came to find out what happened.
Were you robbed just now?
No. Just now when I was leaving after work, someone bumped into me.
I demanded an apology but he refused. So we quarreled.
I didn't realize I'd dropped my wallet.
It's just a misunderstanding.
But your hand is bruised.
Oh, I'm fine. This has nothing to do with the incident.
Sir, madam, since my wife said it's a misunderstanding,
why don't you let her rest since it's so late now?
Since Mrs Cheuk says she's fine, I won't trouble you then.
See if you've lost any money.
It's OK. Thank you.
OK. Thank you.
Sorry for bothering you.
I'm fine.
Go take a bath.
OK.
Sorry.
Why?
When you came home just now, you looked perturbed.
That's why I asked you what happened.
I didn't know something like that had happened.
I shouldn't have bothered you.
You didn't. I just didn't want you to worry about me.
I should trust your ability to handle things.
I shouldn't doubt you. Does it hurt?
Sorry.
Why?
Actually, just now...I really was robbed.
Why didn't you tell the cops then?
I didn't lose anything.
I don't want to make a fuss in case the paparazzi make up stories.
You're not mad at me, are you?
Why would I be mad at you? But you must remember,
don't worry about me being worried.
If a problem can be solved with money, then it's no longer a problem.
OK. Go to bed now.
You wanted to see me about the incident last night?
Did you report it to the police?
Yes. You think I was too nosy?
I appreciate your thoughtfulness. You did me a big favor. Thank you.
When you were struggling with that guy last night,
there was a security guard nearby.
I was afraid he'd call the police.
So I called first in case he said something inappropriate.
Later, the police told me that the matter was settled.
So I was relieved.
Thank you. If you need anything in the future, feel free to ask me.
What do I need? I just want to develop my career.
You're so clever. You've got great potential.
I cherish people with great potential.
Thank you, Mrs Cheuk.
Hello.
Do you know you really hurt me last night?
What do you want?
You know what I want. I want you.
Don't be silly. That's impossible.
You're just doing this for money, right?
I want to be with you.
If you reject me, I'll tell Cheuk Yuk about everything we did before, OK?
I dare you to tell him. I won't spare you.
OK. Keep in touch baby. I love you.
Hello...
Mrs Cheuk, if you can think of me as a friend for the time being,
you can talk to me.
Everyone has her own history and secrets. I understand that.
Everyone goes through a rebellious phase. But I really want to forget my past.
When I was studying in the States, my family wasn't rich.
I worked part-time in a fast food place to earn some pocket money.
I met Ken when I was making a delivery. Soon after, we got together.
During that time, he was everything to me.
I didn't go to school despite objections from my family.
I didn't even work part-time.
Iran away from home to be with him. I led a decadent life.
Back then, I was so happy with him. But too bad he wasn't a good guy.
He didn't work. He even pushed drugs. I was so stupid to deal drugs with him.
Ah...
After that incident,
I didn't want to keep living like that or Pd end up like that girl.
So I decided to leave him and his place. I didn't want a life like that anymore.
From that day on, I knew he wouldn't let me leave so easily.
But I kept figuring out a way to leave this man. Ah...
After that, I left the States
and came back to Hong Kong alone to start all over again.
I even changed my name. I went back to school.
After I graduated, I worked very hard.
Then I joined Damon's firm and met him there.
It so happened that his wife had just died.
I helped him and looked after him both at work and on a personal level.
So naturally we got together.
Marrying him is the luckiest thing in my life.
You never told Mr Cheuk about this?
I don't want to remember this. Why would I tell him?
Besides, I had no intention of being candid with him from day one.
Even if I want to tell him now, I don't know how to.
I really can't believe I'd run into this jerk again.
He went to jail and then started all over again.
He's an executive in a big company now.
They're even doing business with Brainman.
What does Ken want from you?
He just wants revenge.
He wants to expose my shameful past so I'll lose everything.
He's capable of doing anything. I'm so scared. I love my husband so much.
I've spent so much effort building my marriage and career.
I don't want that jerk to ruin it all.
Maybe I can help you.
Good morning.
I found a research center in Japan.
They have a new technique
that can reduce water pollution during the extraction of shale gas.
We can suggest a partnership between Huan Sen and the research center.
Then we'll have one more selling point to attract investors.
What research center? Let me hear it.
Look at this report.
Mr Cheuk.
Any new ideas for shale gas?
Yes.
Shoot
Let me put it in simple terms.
This research center in Japan is developing a new technique
to reduce water pollution during the extraction of shale gas.
We can ask Huan Sen to partner with them.
Then we'll have a selling point in our financing plan.
We can also mute the objections from environmental activists
and launch the IPO as planned.
Good.
The technical data's not important.
We can leave that to Huan Sen to deal with it.
I think we can magnify the effect of this technique
and make the data look better to support our claim
to make this more convincing.
Well done.
Tell Huan Sen to liaise with the research center as soon as possible.
See if they can work together. Or hire someone to be a nominee consultant.
I want the IPO timetable and new selling points, OK?
Yes, Mr Cheuk. I'll get right on it.
Your EQ is really high. It was your idea. But then Stanley stole it.
If I were you, I wouldn't be able to put up with that.
It's OK.
You still look so cool. You're really amazing.
What's the matter? Are you badmouthing me?
Of course not.
It doesn't matter. I'm prepared to be badmouthed at work.
Don't think you can get ahead just because you can find some information.
It takes brains to survive in this profession.
You don't think you can surpass me, do you?
Stanley, seriously, I'm really fine.
We're a team. We just want to get the job done.
I'm already really happy because the boss buys the idea.
You hear that, Johnny? She's smart.
Otherwise how could she get an office as soon as she joined the firm?
You think she's like you? Starting from the very bottom?
I'll go now.
Happy hour?
Have a seat, Mr Cheuk.
Sometimes it helps think alone quietly to get better ideas.
Shale gas?
I want to do some more research
sol might help in the meetings and while preparing the reports.
Good. You're diligent.
But you need to play hard while you work hard.
If you get worn out working in Brainman, your mentor will yell at me.
He's very nice to me. He's a nice guy. He just nags me sometimes.
My wife hasn't been in good shape since she was robbed. Whats going on?
I don't know. Even you don't know. How would I know?
You two have been so close lately.
I thought there must be some girls' talk between you two that I, as a man, don't know
I'm a girl as well as a junior staff.
I don't think Mrs Cheuk would tell me anything personal.
OK. I won't interrupt you. Feel free to order anything. It's on me.
She won't talk?
No.
I checked.
The day your wife was robbed, she called the police.
Now she's playing dumb?
She's got a sense of sisterhood. It won't hurt to have someone like her.
So I don't need to do anything?
My wife didn't tell me because she didn't want me to find out.
So I'll pretend to be ignorant. Let her handle this herself.
Come on...
What's the matter?
Let me show you something nice.
What do you want to show us?
Sit down...
This place looks so familiar.
This is the company and development
I showed you last time when I took you to Zhongshan.
I remember. It was so spacious and beautiful there.
Honey, you really want to buy a flat in China?
I'm not buying a flat. I want to invest in the initial offering.
What offering?
That means before a company goes public,
it will sell its shares at a discount.
Hey, you won't understand this.
No, honey.
People say this kind of initial offering is a kind of pyramid scheme.
What does buying shares have to do with pyramid schemes?
Shut up if you're ignorant.
Mom, you went there last time. You saw how big the company was.
Besides, Brother King was there too.
The owner told me that Brother King would be investing in it too.
Really?
It'll benefit from the celebrity effect. I'm sure it'll work.
Move over...Let me tell you,
last time I just bought a few thousand shares.
Today, when I checked online, there was a dividend payout.
I've already made a thousand dollars.
Really? You're so smart?
Really?
Why would they pay dividends if they want to cheat us?
That's right.
Even if you don't believe me, you should believe Brother King.
Will it cheat us like the multi-level marketing company did last time?
Mom, a person must forget the past and look forward.
Honey, shouldn't we learn a lesson from our failure?
Exactly. I want to stand up where I fell.
So I want to keep investing. Then there's hope in life.
But how will we get so much money to invest?
Haven't you seen the ad?
So long as you have a flat, you can borrow money easily.
No way.
Sheung-yee pays the mortgage. How can we mortgage it?
Right.
Mom, have you forgotten that the flat is in your name?
But still I must tell Sheung-yee about this.
I can't just mortgage the flat.
Mom, trust me this once.
Sis Yee is so conservative. How can we rely on her to get rich?
If something goes wrong, we'll lose our home.
Right.
This time there's Brother King backing this. I'm sure it'll work.
I'm warning you. Don't tell Sis Yee and Sis Fei about this.
I want them to look at me differently this time.
Director Liao of Huan Sen said
they failed to strike a deal with the research center in Japan.
He asked me if we could not mention the point on pollution in the prospectus.
But we have to disclose all the risks and uncertainties in the prospectus.
At most, we can skate over the issue.
You think investors are stupid?
If you evade this issue, they'll only challenge you harder.
Right.
I don't how you do your job.
I told you to follow this case. Now both sides are at odds.
I'm sorry, Mr Cheuk.
The research center in Japan had a terrible experience
working with Dr Yang Kun from Taiwan before.
So they won't work with anyone again for the time being.
They don't need to work with us for real.
You can pay them to be a nominee consultant so we can sell that point.
I thought so too. But Ken of Huan Sen had lots of comments.
That's why it ended up like this. Actually Huan Sen is responsible for this.
I told you to serve the client. But you're putting the blame on them.
I'm sorry, Mr Cheuk.
Does it help to apologize? Anson, any ideas?
This is really difficult.
I think we need more time to solve the problem.
But Ken keeps calling about dinner.
I think he wants to press us for a solution.
I don't think we should meet with him yet.
Let him realize that Huan Sen is also responsible for failing to strike a deal.
I'm really so sorry, Mr Cheuk.
I know our failure to gain the cooperation of the Japanese party
will affect the project greatly.
I hope you can give me some more time. I promise I'll find a solution for this.
What solution? Change the EIA reports?
Perhaps there are other solutions.
Chi Nga, come over here.
What is it?
Stanley failed in the Japan mission.
He's in the boss' office now. I think he's done for.
Really?
Hey Chi Nga, I've reminded you about the report.
See what you can do. I'll get back to work.
OK...Stanley.
You're good.
You mentioned the research center in Japan on purpose.
You set a trap for me.
I think you've got it wrong.
When I talked about it, I didn't expect you would follow it.
Sorry. You're going to be so disappointed.
What you wanted to happen most didn't happen. Mr Cheuk's not mad at me.
He even told me to carry on following the case. So your ploy failed.
Don't ever think you can get rid of me. Let me remind you, you're still under me.
I'm the only blue chip here.
Chi Nga.
Master Fat.
I can't believe the technical trend for your new share is so good.
The other new share got tricked so it's suffered a book loss.
Its rating might even go down.
Give me a break.
I'm going to fall below my issue price soon, with no chance for a rebound.
Office politics is terrible.
If you choose the wrong side, trust the wrong guy or say the wrong thing,
you'll be taken out.
It's worse than holding junk stocks.
But you've got great potential. Keep up the good work.
I'm sure you'll outperform the market.
I'm a rookie. I'll keep working hard.
You're a rookie. But you're smart. Work hard.
Hey.
Sheung-yee.
You look so worn out? What's the matter?
I don't want to talk about it. The project is already difficult.
There's even competition in the office. People stabbing each other. I'm so tired.
You just need to suck it up. That's the norm in your profession.
Any moves in your company lately?
You know the shale gas case. Cheuk Yuk can't solve the pollution issue.
Today he said he'd ask a mainland official to help.
I think he wants to prepare a fake EIA report
to pacify people's worries about pollution.
You mean he wants to bribe the official so the fake report will be approved.
That's the easiest and most effective solution for Cheuk Yuk.
He told me to put the information together today.
I think he'll be meeting the mainland official very soon.
Stanley, you must inform me immediately if he takes action.
Don't worry. I know what to do.
This Cheuk Yuk is really a crocodile. He's cautious.
If it weren't for you tipping me off, I wouldn't be able to figure out his moves.
Thank you.
We were classmates. Don't mention it. I should thank you.
Don't mention the past anymore.
Why not? When my daughter's older, I will tell her you saved my life.
Otherwise I would have committed suicide already.
Don't scare you daughter.
You helped me during the financial tsunami.
As you said, we were classmates. How could I sit back when you're in trouble?
Thank you.
Silly.
Mentor is really amazing.
He plays soccer with his friends after work. He's really tough.
Men are like that.
Even though they're no longer young, they're just big kids.
They only do what they're in the mood for.
They always say women are moody. Actually they're the moody ones.
Sis Yee, you're really my idol. You're so much better than a lot of guys.
You're so tall. You tower over them.
Sweet talk. Chu taught you that?
No. I really mean it.
Really?
I do.
Really? Cheeky girl.
I do mean it.
Ouch.
Mom, that's dangerous.
Mam...
Be careful. Come back. What are you doing?
What's the matter?
Why did you dash out into the road?
It's you two?
Why do you look so pale? What happened? Tell us.
Right. Why do you look so pale?
I'm fine.
Fine?
Tell us what happened.
Tell me now.
Yee.
What's the matter?
I'm sorry.
Why? Tell me what happened.
Right.
Hing's caused trouble again.
Ho Sheung-hing.
Sis Yee.
What do you want to do to the family? I bought this flat for Mom.
You asked her to mortgage it. You even lost all the money.
Don't be so mad.
I'm useless. I'm a loser. I'm a liability. I'm sorry, OK?
You think everything's OK if you just apologize?
I know there's nothing I can do to make it up. I'll just kill myself.
Are you crazy? Watch out.
Don't hold me back. Let me die.
Don't die, honey.
What's the use of dying?
Yee, talk to him. He always listens to you.
It's good if he'll kill himself. I don't want him to be our liability.
Sis Yee.
You guys hear that? So she's thought of me as a liability all along.
Why do I have an older sister like that? She's so cold-blooded.
Stop there, Ho Sheung-hing.
When have I not helped you when you got into trouble?
I work so hard for the family. Now you're saying I'm cold-blooded?
I'm going to beat you up.
Sis Yee.
HEY"
Get off me...
Sis Yee...
Let it go, Yee. It won't help to beat your younger brother to death.
We still won't get the money back.
Do you know why he's so irresponsible? It's because you guys have spoiled him.
He always thinks there's a free lunch. You guys let him think that. Ouch...
How are you?
Does it really hurt bad?
I can't deal with this anymore. You guys take care of the family yourselves.
Yee.
Sis Yee, please don't.
Yee...Fei, let her calm down.
Now what? Now what?
Sheung-yee.
Did they ask you to come?
Sheung-fei told me everything. We're all worried about you.
Go away.
Where are you going? You've got stomach ache.
Why are you walking around on the streets? Get in the car. Let's talk, OK?
It's worse to keep it to yourself. I'll listen.
I work so hard to pay the mortgage.
I skimp on eating and buying clothes just so I could buy the flat for Mom.
I can't believe my younger brother would mortgage the flat.
And he was cheated out of all the money.
I've worked so hard all my life for them. It's all wasted now.
Hing is way too much. He's so immature.
But the damage is done already. It won't help to blame him or yourself.
I've done my very best for the family already.
I'm exhausted. It's so hard.
I understand. I know you're in a lot of pain.
Don't think of anything now.
I'll figure out a way to solve the problem for you.
How? You want to borrow money from a financial institution?
I'll ask my underworld friends to help me find the people in charge of that company.
Then I'll bargain with them and ask them to return the money to Hing.
Are you crazy? Do you know what you're talking about?
We're police officers. How can we deal with gangsters?
I've been a cop for years. I know what I'm doing.
No way. I'm your boss. You have to listen to me.
You can't do that.
Yung, I don't want you to get you in trouble because of my family problem.
OK. I'll listen to you. I won't do that. Don't be so upset. Come on.
Everything will be fine.
No matter what happens in the future, I will forever be there for you, OK?
We can deal with this.
You're in bad shape. Do you want to take a few days off to rest?
I'm fine. I just went to bed late these past couple of nights.
Don't worry.
Hello, Mr Cheuk and Mrs Cheuk. May I?
What a coincidence?
It's not a coincidence.
I tried to make a dinner app-ointment with you two. But you turned me down.
I know you always come here to eat. So I especially came to see you two.
You came to press me about the project? There's still a lot of time left.
I dare not. Let's not talk about work. We can talk about personal things.
I'm all about "feel".
If I feel like talking to someone, I'll want to share with them.
Oh, why don't we share our history, Mr Cheuk?
You want to talk about the past? I'm not interested in that.
How about you, Mrs Cheuk?
My look to my husband. I'm happy if he's happy.
I'm not interested in the things that he's not interested in.
I've forgotten my past long ago.
So sweet. I do envy you two so much.
You don't need to envy us. There are lots of nice girls around.
You don't understand, Mr Cheuk. I had a very nice girlfriend before.
What she did motivated me to work hard so I could get to where I am today.
But too bad I was immature. I drove her mad. In the end, she left me.
That's a predictable ending.
Mrs Cheuk, I don't think it's ended yet.
I told myself that if I ran into her again, I wouldn't let her leave me again.
You find that funny, Mrs Cheuk?
Honey, this is quite an interesting story, right?
Not bad. It's quite meaningful.
Oh, I need to go outside and make a phone call. You two carry on.
Go ahead.
Are you done toying with me?
What? You dare not tell that idiot our past?
Take your hands off.
If you're afraid to tell him, I'll tell him.
Cut the crap, OK?
You think I'm a loser?
Why didn't you call me when you were with me?
Fong Ming-yu, the world has changed.
Do you remember how happy we were when we were together?
In the end you double crossed me.
Enough.
Yes, I'm crazy. Have you forgotten that?
The IPO's not done yet. I still have a lot of time to get crazy.
Chi Nga.
Mr Wong! Mr Wong?
Did you ask me to come?
What is it? I'm going to set sail now.
I want to talk to you about the shale gas project.
It's weekend today, miss.
We don't get weekends off.
But I'm off on weekends.
I won't take up much of your time.
If you turn me down now, I'm sure you'll regret it.
Regret? Why would I regret it?
Fine. Come on board and tell me. Let's see how I'll regret it.
Your boat is so cozy and beautiful.
Really? Work hard yourself and buy one in the future.
So what will I regret?
Hey, this is so old. You want to blackmail me with this?
What do you want?
Leave Mrs Cheuk alone.
Anson! She told you to come here? Why didn't she come in person?
Did she want me to...?
Hey, what are you doing? Get off me...
Why didn't she come in person? Did she want me to...?
Hey, what are you doing? Get off me...
Stupid girl. Don't play if you can't afford to.
Why are you laughing?
You think you're a big shot?
You're impotent. Why scare me? Mrs Cheuk told me everything.
You took too much drugs. You're impotent. What do you want to do now?
What? Am I right about you? I'm just stating the fact.
Am I wrong to say that?
How impotent am I?
Go away...
Hey.
Why is it just you? Where's Chi Nga?
Who's Chi Nga?
I told her to go see you. How come it's just you?
Where's Chi Nga?
I don't know what you're talking about. This is crazy.
Chi Nga.
Hey.
Chi Nga.
Who's Chi Nga? I told you there's no one here.
This powder compact belongs to Chi Nga. Where is she?
I don't know what you're talking about.
You don't, right? I'll call the police then.
Hey, don't call the police.
My friend's missing. I have to call the police.
Don't do that. You told her to come blackmail me.
Now it's ended up like this. No one wanted this to happen.
Anson, I know what you want.
You fix this problem for me. I'll leave you alone forever.
Did you take part in the cross harbor race?
Mr Cheuk, how did you find out that
Mrs Cheuk and I teamed up against Ken Wong?
The first time they met, I could tell something was wrong with Anson.
Hello, Mrs Cheuk.
Hello.
Then you sent someone to follow Mrs Cheuk?
I just wanted to protect her.
Since Anson doesn't want me to find out about her relationship with Ken,
you better not show up to avoid the embarrassment.
Copy that. I'll keep an eye on her.
But what about Chi Nga? What should I do about her?
Leave her alone.
She suddenly showed up. Maybe she can help Anson.
So you knew about everything we did?
Boss Cheuk, Chi Nga's struggling with Ken. She just fell into the sea.
Boss Cheuk, I see Chi Nga swimming towards the shore
on the other side of the boat.
How could you two come up with such a lousy idea?
Mrs Cheuk didn't want to do anything illegal.
She didn't want to hurt anyone either.
So we worked out this trick.
If you knew what we were going to do, why didn't you help us?
Anson doesn't want me to find out. Why embarrass her?
So you'd rather protect her in secret?
Everyone has her own history. She minds me knowing about her past.
So I pretend to be ignorant of it.
You don't mind her history. You even respect her so much.
Anyway, thank you,
I'm afraid when Ken has calmed down, he'll find this odd.
It's OK. I'll deal with the rest of the problem.
Hello, Chi Nga.
Mrs Cheuk, I'm fine. How about you?
Ken just boarded the plane for the States.
That's great.
But I'm still worried.
You think when Ken gets back to the States,
he'll notice that there wasn't any news about me,
he'll realize we tricked him, and he'll come back?
Right.
Don't worry so much.
I think we still have time to deal with this. Go to bed early.
OK.
You're up?
Yes. I woke up a bit late today.
You weren't home when I went to bed last night.
You must have come home very late. So I didn't wake you.
Breakfast will be ready in no time.
OK.
Hey, there's a funny piece of news today. Look at this.
This morning at 4am Hong Kong time,
the US police received an anonymous report alleging that Wong Ching-wah,
CEO of the Greater China Region of Huan Sen New Energy Company Limited,
committed embezzlement.
He was arrested by the police at the US airport.
Breakfast is ready. This guy Ken is so boastful.
Turns out he's a thief. Director Liao trusted him so much.
Why aren't you eating? I'm not thoughtful enough. Pepper?
OK.
Go ahead. Welcome a brand new day after breakfast.
Thank you, honey.
You're welcome.
You've succeeded in getting close to them now.
You've won their trust. Your plan will succeed very soon.
Getting close to them is just the first step.
There's a lot to follow up.
What about the thing I asked you to do last time? Is it done?
It's done. I asked an I.T. expert to help me.
He wrote a fake computer program that will pass on some kind of virus.
You just need to upload it to Cheuk Yuk's computer.
Then I'll be able to hack into it and find the confidential information.
Thank you.
How's the appointment with the mainland official?
I've liaised with him already. But the time and venue aren't confirmed yet.
I want to meet him as soon as possible.
Got it.
Mr Cheuk, Chi Nga wants to see you.
OK.
Mr Cheuk, I've got a new idea about shale gas. I want to present it.
Sit down...What's the matter?
Mr Cheuk, a major client's here. He's in the I-bank section.
Mrs Cheuk asked you to go and say hello to him.
I'm on my way. Sit down.
Come on...
What are you doing?
