[INDO SUB] The Story of Xing Fu EP07 | Zhao Liying / Liu Wei | YOUKU

[The Story of Xing Fu] [Episode 7] Here you go, Senior. The documents have been stamped. That was fast. I told him it was a new case he had signed, and he stamped it. He already issued a letter yesterday for that case, but he forgot about it. Did something good happen to you?

You look rather happy. Mr. Han said he would take me on a business trip to meet a client. I can finally work on cases now. Congratulations. But a piece of advice. Be careful. What do you mean? He often brings female employees with him on business trips. So look after yourself, all right?

Got it. All right. Thank you, Senior. Don’t mention it. Go on. So sorry, Mr. Han. I have gifts for Mr. Ma in those suitcases. Be careful. Yes, sir. Mr. Han, is there anything else? If not, I’ll head over to the second-class seating area. What’s the hurry? Have a seat here first. I…

Someone will be sitting here later, sir. The business class carriage is rarely full. Just take a seat. Don’t worry about them. Even so, it’s not proper, Mr. Han. Sit down. Let’s have a chat. Oh, right. Did you bring clothes? Yes. I brought a few changes of clothes. Change? Didn’t I tell you

To bring some nice clothes? You’re supposed to represent our law firm. Mr. Han, I would like to buy nice clothes, but I would need to have the money for them. You only give me so much every month. I simply can’t afford nice clothes. Is that a complaint I hear? Of course not.

I’m only stating the facts, sir. He, so many at our law firm would love to get a chance to go on a business trip with me. Why do you think I picked you? Because I’m your assistant and you want to train me. If you want to be a lawyer,

You need to get to know all sorts of people from all walks of life. We’re meeting a big client this time. If things go well, that’ll give us two to three million yuan a year. Mr. Ma doesn’t have many interests, but he is very fond of drinking. You get it, don’t you?

I… I don’t quite understand. What do you mean, sir? Nothing. Just make sure you drink more with him and make sure he is satisfied. Mr. Han, I will do my best at work, but… Drinking… I can’t hold liquor well, sir. Well, it doesn’t matter if you can hold your liquor or not.

What matters is that you satisfy the client, understand? I’m sorry. Is this your seat? I’m sorry. Um… Here’s your seat. I’ll be going now, Mr. Han. Mr. Wan. Mr. Zhang. You suggested we build the wastewater treatment plant over here. I thought it was a good idea as well.

But there seems to be a problem. The area isn’t big enough. After building the health products factory, there won’t be enough space for the wastewater treatment plant. Can’t we build a smaller plant? No. Mr. Wan, that would be as if you installed a large faucet but a very narrow sewer.

You can imagine what will happen if the sewage is not discharged in time. In the past, farmers were poor, and we weren’t particular about this. We would just let the sewage water flow out. But we can’t do that now. Our country is paying more attention to environmental protection now.

Our superior said it, didn’t he? Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets. So if we can’t build a wastewater treatment plant that is up to standard, the health products factory won’t pass the acceptance testing. I wonder if we can sort that out with some money. Well,

That probably won’t be so easy either. Do you guys have any other ideas? Do tell. There is another way. But it’ll cost money. Mr. Liu, go on. I studied this area carefully. I think we can build the plant here. The area is big enough.

There’s a good distance between the factory and the residential area, and the terrain is flat and relatively low. It’ll be easier to discharge the treated water into the river. I did some research. This piece of land is a riverbank wasteland. It’s not typical land for farming.

There should be no problems in getting the approval. If we build the plant here, not only will it solve the factory’s sewage treatment, but the villagers’ domestic sewage treatment will also be taken into account. In the long term, this is a great thing that will benefit future generations to come.

You mentioned it would cost more money. How much would it cost? Including domestic sewage treatment, it’ll probably cost more than 100 million. Mainly because of the additional cost of land acquisition for the wastewater treatment plant. Also, we’ll need money to lay out the pipe network between the factory and the residential area.

I understand what you mean. That’ll require much more money than we initially planned to invest. That won’t do. Mr. Wan, we won’t be able to carry out this project then. It’s not that I don’t want to cooperate with you, but I can’t afford the liabilities. Environmental pollution is subject to criminal liability now.

We can afford not to make money, but we can’t sacrifice lives. Don’t you agree, Mr. Wan? This is our village’s land. We can sort things out. Mr. Zhang, Mr. Mo, and Mr. Liu, we’ll go back, discuss the matter again, and give you an answer as soon as possible. Is that all right?

All right. So that is the situation. Now, we have to decide if we’re going [Wanjia Group] to go on with this project. If we don’t, we’ll have to re-green the quarry. That’ll cost us quite a sum. It won’t be easy to get done either. If we carry on with this project,

Then we’ll need to solve the problem with the wastewater treatment plant. There isn’t enough space if we build it on the mountain. But it’ll cost too much to build it at the bottom of the mountain. How about this? Discuss this with Mr. Liu again and figure out the exact amount we need.

Try to save as much as you can. If we still can’t manage, I’ll talk to Mr. Chu, the branch manager of the bank, to get a loan. Chairman Wan, I… Enough. This matter is settled. We need to develop the village’s economy. This concerns the selection of the most beautiful village as well as

Wan Village’s reputation and future. We can’t let this matter mess everything up. The cost of management is a little over 120,000 yuan. Where’s Mr. Wan? Mr. Cailiang. My father said he wasn’t feeling well. He went back after lunch. What’s the matter? It’s about the location for the construction of the wastewater treatment plant. I checked. The location and area are good.

It’s about 20 mu of land. But there’s a problem. There are four families using the land for cultivation right now. Youde’s family, Chunxian’s family, Guancai’s family, and Fusheng’s family. I don’t understand. What’s the problem? Well, some time ago, Qinglai took over the other three families’ land and built a big greenhouse.

He said something about growing vegetables. And it sounds like he has already signed a contract with a supermarket in the city. The biggest problem now is that it might be hard to expropriate that land. So I thought maybe we should discuss this with Mr. Wan

And have Mr. Liu select another piece of land around that area. What’s the big deal? We’re building the factory for the village, right? A wastewater treatment plant is necessary for the factory. The land belongs to the country. It’s not private property. You know how long we’ve been delayed by the matter

Of the wastewater treatment plant. Mr. Liu went through the area over and over before finally settling on that area. And now, you want him to choose another area? Maybe you should discuss this with your father. Discuss what? It’s not a big deal. He isn’t feeling well.

He might ask why we bothered him with such a trivial matter later. Just do what we discussed. All right. Mr. Ma. All right. Here. Thank you. You’re most welcome. Good wine. Here. He, don’t just keep eating. Give Mr. Ma a toast. Mr. Han, I… Mr. Ma, let me give you a toast.

I’m new. I’m sure I’m still inexperienced and have lots to learn. Please excuse me if I make any mistakes, and do give me your guidance. A toast to you. All right. I’ll finish this glass. You do as you please. All right. Mr. Han, are all your female lawyers so beautiful? Well,

I have lots of female lawyers working for me, but I brought you the prettiest one. Oh, you. Come. Here. Have a good drink with Mr. Han. Youde. You’re here, Mr. Cailiang. Oh, you’re eating. Have you eaten? If you haven’t, join us. No, that’s all right. You guys enjoy your meal.

I just came to let you guys know that we’ll be having a villagers’ representative conference tomorrow morning. They informed us over the loudspeaker. My dad will be going. Yes. I’ll be going. I think you should come as well. Um, isn’t one family supposed to send one representative? Yes.

But I think both of you should come. It can’t hurt to have another pair of ears. We’ll do as you say then. Don’t worry. -You guys enjoy your meal. I’ll take my leave now. -We’ll both be there. You’re not staying? Take care. You should both come. -Take care. -All right. We’ll both go.

Take care! He could have just called us. But he came all the way here instead. Mr. Han, have some fruits. Both of you, get the liquor and have a drink with Mr. Han! Go on! Thank you. Here. Have some fruits. Okay. -Bottoms up! -Here’s a toast to you. Drink! Good! Bottoms up!

Come on! You’re up! Young people must live a little. A toast to you, Mr. Ma. -Cheers. -Drink with him. All right. I have some here. He, have more spirit. You can hold your liquor! Drink! Good! Come on. I think I drank a little too fast. Careful. We’re here. Your bag, sir. Come in.

I… Get some rest, sir. I’ll go back to my room now. It’s still early. Come inside for a chat. I’m not going to do anything to you. Let’s talk about work. I’m going to get mad if you stand there any longer. Come in. Sit anywhere you like. Mr. Han,

You’ve certainly had quite a bit to drink tonight. Let me tell you something. Back when I used to work as the secretary for the mayor, I had to drink for him all the time. With my alcohol tolerance… I can handle at least 500ml of baijiu. You can hold your liquor well, sir.

Have some water to help with the hangover. Have a seat. No, that’s all right, sir. It’s late. You should get some rest. I’ll turn in early tonight after I get back too. No, no. Don’t leave. Sit. It’s early. Have a chat with me. Sit down. We can’t talk if you’re standing.

If you stay by my side, you’ll have to learn from me. You need to learn by analogy. You need to know what I like. I wouldn’t know what you like, sir. I’ll tell you then. I like you. Sir, what… What are you doing? I don’t understand what you mean. Xingyun,

I’ve fallen for you from the first moment I saw you. Don’t jest, Mr. Han. Aren’t you usually so strict with me? That’s because I like you. That’s why I’m so strict with you. It’s true. I’ve liked you since the first moment I saw you. If not,

Your bachelor’s degree couldn’t have possibly gotten you into Yidao Law Firm. Right? Do you know why I like you? Because I think the two of us are of the same kind. You and I are both people who will do anything it takes to get what we want. Not at all, sir.

You are far better than me. No. I’m being honest with you. From the first moment I saw you, I saw them within your eyes. Your determination. Your passion. It instantly reminded me of my younger self. I meant it. Xingyun, I would like you to be my girlfriend. Please allow me to help you

In your life. Trust me. You will surely stand out from the rest in no time. Sir! What… What are you doing? I don’t understand. What do you mean by “girlfriend”? You’re married, aren’t you? That old hag? Well, my family decided that for me when I was in the army. I’ll be frank with you. Everyone has their woes in life. We just have to live with them.

And we had two kids. Two sons even. That makes it even more impossible for my parents to let me leave her. They love them to bits. Well, they’re happy. But who understands my pain? Right? Of course. Um… As the old saying goes,

A wife who shares her husband’s hardship must never be cast aside. I can’t abandon her just because I’m well-off now. I abide by that moral principle, at least. That’s why I’m only looking for girlfriends. Can you understand what I mean? What do you mean? So you’re saying

That you want me to be your girlfriend and you won’t even give me any promises or take any responsibility? No. Of course, I would. I will give you my promise. There’s no way I wouldn’t take responsibility for you if you became my girlfriend. Right? You wanted to be a lawyer, right?

All right. You’ll become an intern lawyer at our firm right after we get back. One year later, you’ll officially become a full-time lawyer. What are lawyers most worried about? Having no cases. But if you accept my offer and become my girlfriend, you won’t have to worry about that.

So long as I have a case, you’ll have a case. We’ll work together in harmony and be a wonderful couple. I mean, with your wits and your beauty, in less than two years, you’ll be a famous lawyer. This is inappropriate, sir. You’re my boss. You can’t do this. What’s inappropriate about this?

This is one of the perks that a boss can get. What are you doing? I don’t like the smell of alcohol on you! Help! What are you doing? Let go of me! Stop right there. Let me tell you something. If you walk out that door, you won’t be able to stay in Yidao.

You can forget about making it in Yuzhong City as well. Let’s just talk about this… Don’t come any closer! If you do, I’ll yell! I’ll sue you for sexual harassment. No, I… We’re the only ones in this room. You accuse me of sexual harassment. I say it was consensual.

Who do you think the judge will believe? I have proof. Now, now… We must be sincere and honest. Why did you record our conversation? Hurry up and delete that. I won’t. You… Don’t come any nearer! Come on. Tell me what you want. I don’t want anything. As for a girlfriend, you already have Ms. Yu, don’t you? Aren’t you afraid she’ll get mad at you? You’re trying to blackmail me, aren’t you? I’m not. This is just a form of protection for me. It’s late. Get some rest. I’m leaving.

Attention, everyone. Quiet, please. Take your seats. Those who aren’t here yet, please hurry up. Hurry. This meeting is about to begin. The villagers’ representative conference… Do you know what this meeting is about? -will officially begin now. -No. We have only one topic for today’s meeting. We will be conducting a vote

On a matter related to the health products factory. I hope all of you will actively participate and speak up. Next, we will have the secretary of our village party branch, Comrade Wan Shantang, give us a few words. -Great! -Great! Earlier, I mentioned this to Chuanjia. Look. When other villages hold meetings now,

The attendees are mostly women, children, and the elderly. Only Wan Village is different. Look. At a glance, most of our attendees are strong young men. Of course. What a pleasing sight. What does that say about us? It shows that our villagers has good foresight and awareness. They support the village party branch

And the work of the Wanjia Group. It also shows that Wanjia Group has provided employment opportunities for the people. The people don’t need to leave their homes to find a job. You can start a business and make a fortune at home. I’ll say it again. All for Wan, Wan for all.

And on behalf of the village party branch and Wanjia Group, I thank all of you. -Great! -Great! As I’ve said in our last meeting, the Wanjia Group is not content with our current status. We must develop further and engage in a variety of businesses. Mr. Cailiang mentioned the health products factory.

That is one of our key projects. It will be our village’s new Guanyin! [* It means lifesaver] A few days ago, after a hard negotiation, the agreement was finally signed. Once the factory is built, it will become another project that will generate money for us. -Great! -Great! Now,

I have brought Guanyin to us. But we must make proper preparations to welcome a deity. What does that mean? It means we need land to build the factory. After getting the approval from the experts and our team of leaders’ discussion, we have decided on the location.

It will be built on the now ruined land where we used to quarry. But we have another problem to solve before we can build the factory. To build the health products factory, we need to build a wastewater treatment plant. Why? To protect our environment. Environment protection is our priority.

It concerns the health of our villagers. The health of our children. We must have lucid waters and lush mountains before we can have gold and silver. So we must find another piece of land to build the wastewater treatment plant. Now, we invite the representative of Wanjia Group, the general manager, Wan Chuanjia,

To talk about the site selection for the construction of the wastewater treatment plant. -Great! -Great! After repeated field surveys and consulting with our partners, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Mo, and Mr. Liu, we have decided to build the wastewater treatment plant in this location. This area is located right next to the river.

It’s close to the health products factory… -and not far from our village. -Look. From all the aspects, it is the best location… No wonder he wanted both of us to be here. to build the plant. -The cost of building the factory will be lower. -Oh, dear. Mr. Cailiang,

Which families are using that land right now? Fusheng’s family, Chunxian’s family, Guancai’s family, and Qinglai’s family. Are the representatives all here? Please stand up. Darn you! How about you guys go ahead and settle your fight first? He made me fall. Everyone is here, right? Well, I have a few things to say then.

Mr. Wan made it very clear earlier. The health products factory and the wastewater treatment plant concern the future development of our village. To put it in more serious terms, whether the villagers will be able to live a good life in the next few decades depends entirely on this factory.

Since you guys are here, please tell us where you stand before everyone. All right? Who wants to go first? Me. I’ll go first. Um… As long as you give me enough compensation, I’ll do anything. I strongly support this. My… My piece of land isn’t that big. I’ve rented it to Qinglai.

I’m not using it anyway. If Qinglai doesn’t have a problem, then I’m all for it. I just want to ask this. Um… Will I still be compensated? Of course. What about you, Ms. Chunxian? I rented my land to Qinglai as well. I don’t have anything against it. It’s up to Qinglai.

They all rented their land to Qinglai. Wang Qinglai. Speak up. I… I need to discuss it with my dad. With your dad? Wang Youde. Is Wang Youde here? Wang Youde, stop trying to hide. Come on. You’re a resident of our village too. Stand up. Get up and say a few things. Go on.

If you ask me, I think it’s your blessing that your land has been chosen to build the factory. It’s like winning the lottery. You guys have won the jackpot. Not only will you be compensated, but the young ones will be able to work at the factory too. Right? You guys can become workers.

Youde, you’re up in years. In a few more years, you can retire. Right? You can stop working if you want and receive a pension. That’s better than working in the fields, right? Our piece of land is different from the others. It’s just land. It’s all dirt and sand. What’s so special about it?

Youde says his family grows gold. Say… Say something. I… I was planning to expand my farm and grow organic vegetables. I already built the greenhouse. Oh, you built the greenhouse. That is a big deal. It’s actually more important than the development of the village, huh? Wang Qinglai,

I asked you to state your stance to help you save face. What? Is the Wang family going to be the reason Wan Village cannot develop? -Don’t be ungrateful! -Chuanjia. Watch your attitude. Qinglai, take a seat first. I know you and your father love farming. But Chuanjia made it clear, didn’t he? It’s true

That this piece of land is the most suitable at the moment. The Wan Village has made a great effort to secure the title of the most beautiful village. The construction of the wastewater treatment plant concerns the well-being of the entire village as well. As the old saying goes,

When big rivers have water, the small ones are filled. Sometimes, the big river is filled. To store more water in the big river, we need to build a dam or a canal. We must consider the big picture. Isn’t that right, everyone? -Yes. -Yes. Well, if there are no other issues, let’s conduct

A vote. All right? -Those in favor… -Yes. of building the wastewater treatment plant in this location, please raise your hand! -We agree! -We agree! Bear with me, everyone. Don’t be so quick to lower your hands. Take a look at the people around you as well. Is there anyone who’s so stubborn

That they refuse to raise their hands? There is! Qinglai and his dad didn’t raise their hands! Put your hands up. The development of the collective is more important. Put your hand up. That’s right. Raise your hand. He put his hand up! They raised their hands! All right. That’ll do. Good. It’s unanimous!

-Great! -Great! Qinglai and his father are aware of the importance of this matter. We must remember the Wang family’s contribution to our village as well. On behalf of the village branch party and Wanjia Group, I thank these families for sacrificing their personal interests for the sake of the village. Thank you.

-Well said. -Well said. All right. That concludes this meeting. -We must drink to this. -We’re going to be rich. Leave it. The water is cold. I’ll wash them. It’s okay, Mom. I’ll wash them. Don’t worry. It’ll be done in no time. You’re back. What did they talk about at the conference?

What’s the matter? What happened at the conference? Why aren’t you guys saying anything? They’re going to build a factory in our village. They want to expropriate our land. If our land gets expropriated, we won’t be able to make a living anymore. Did they take anyone else’s land? No.

There is a lot of land in the village that isn’t being used. Why did they only take ours? They said ours was the most suitable. Suitable? Who knows? They’re the ones who get to decide which plot of land is “suitable”. I’ll go and ask Mr. Wan then. No need to hurry.

Let’s find out what exactly happened first. Qinglai. Are they going to expropriate our land just like that? Without any compensation? They made it sound nicer than it is. They would compensate us for the land. They want my dad to retire with a pension. They want me to work at the factory they’re building

And get a worker’s salary. That’s fine, isn’t it? I think we should let them take the land. But is a farmer still a farmer without land? I don’t want to work at the factory. I want to grow vegetables. You two are rare specimens. Who else in the village wants to keep growing vegetables?

Only you two would take the land so seriously. As if it doesn’t matter to you? You are provided and fed by this land as well. Aren’t you ashamed to say such things? Hear that? You wouldn’t dare to say a word out there. But in the house, you act all high and mighty.

If you ask me, you’re getting up in years as well. Farming isn’t something you can keep doing for your entire life. Our kids are all grown up. It’s time you take a break. So you’re saying I should do nothing and wait to die? You’re so unreasonable! You raised your voice at me.

But why won’t you raise your voice at Mr. Wan? Mom… Listen to me, Xingfu. Would you believe this? He is loud now. But if there had been a vote at the meeting earlier, he would’ve gone along with them for sure! Mom. Dad. Don’t worry. I’ll talk to Mr. Wan.

We have so much land in the village. They can build the factory at any of those places. Why must they use our land? That’s easy to figure out. We’re a small, no-name family. And we got on bad terms with Chuanjia because of the hazing incident. We thought that matter was in the past.

But clearly, it’s not over for him. I heard Chuanjia was in charge of this project. He is sure to milk us for all we’re worth! That’s all the more reason I have to talk to Mr. Wan then. Xingfu. Xingfu! Xingfu! [Wanjia Group] Excuse me. What business do you have here?

I’m looking for Mr. Wan. Please wait here. I’ll notify them. Mr. Zhang. The matter of the land has been settled. It’s the piece of land Mr. Liu chose, of course. Don’t worry about that. But, um, with all these changes, our cost has increased significantly. Can we split the costs between us accordingly?

Come in. Don’t worry about the money. My dad went to the city today to sort that out. That’ll be all, Mr. Zhang. Keep in touch. What’s the matter? Why are you here? I came to see Mr. Wan. They brought me here. He went to the city to handle some matters.

I’m the general manager of the company. You can talk to me instead. All right, then. I just wanted to ask why did you guys have to take our land out of all the land in the village. We explained this during the conference. Wang Youde and Wang Qinglai were there.

All they said was that the village needed to expropriate land. They didn’t explain the details. All right. I’ll explain it to you again. The Group wants to develop the village. We want to build a health products factory and a wastewater treatment plant. The plans have been approved. After much survey and consideration,

Your family’s plot of land happened to be the most suitable. It’s not just your family’s. The other families’ lands were expropriated too. That’s different. We just sorted out our land and prepared a greenhouse to plant vegetables. If you take the land now, what are we going to do?

Well, that’s not for me to answer. I’m not the one who wanted your family’s land. The engineer decided that it was the most suitable piece of land after conducting multiple field surveys. It’s just a coincidence. We held the conference. All those people were there.

Wang Youde and Wang Qinglai raised their hands in front of everyone. The matter has been settled. Why are you still harping on it here? There were so many people at the conference. How could they not raise their hands? My father-in-law and my husband are honest men.

It’s only because I wasn’t there at the time. Why don’t we hold another meeting? I’ll be there this time. Is something wrong with you? Do you think you get to decide if we hold a conference? Who do you think you are? I’m from the He family. Your father-in-law, Wang Youde,

And your husband, Wang Qinglai, are adults. If they didn’t want to raise their hands, no one could force them. You’re a woman. You should stay at home. If you were half as meek as Wang Qinglai, we wouldn’t have all this trouble. What? You want all of us to be meek and docile

So you can take advantage of us? What did I do to you guys? You took our land. Either way… Either way, the matter of the land has been decided. Your family declared their stance. This matter is settled no matter if you like it or not! Come in. Mr. Han.

The bill for this trip to Shanghai. Please sign it so we can claim reimbursement. Anything else? I’ve completed my two months of internship. When will I be able to start my internship as a lawyer? If I refuse, are you going to sue me with that recording you have? [Delete] I’ve deleted it.

Who knows if you have a backup copy? Do you think that’s the kind of person I am? Good. You’ve got guts. You dare to put your words into action. This is the kind of talent we need in Yidao. I like you. Fine. Prepare the application materials for the lawyer internship. From now on,

We’ll officially be boss and employee. I’ll be expecting from you what I expect from others. Thank you. Usually, intern lawyers don’t get a base salary. But we look after the young. Your base salary is 800 yuan a month. It’s 700 yuan less than when you were an assistant. You’ll need to earn

The rest of the money by getting cases yourself. All right? Yes. He. This means you’ve passed the first test, right? I suppose so. Well, I bet you’ll be coming to me again when it’s time for you to become an official lawyer. ♪Maybe your life was broken♪ ♪Maybe you were rendered silent by disappointment♪
