Annual Party
Honey, what's wrong?
Honey!
What's the matter?
My belly hurts.
My belly.
Are you about to give birth?
Honey!
Hang on.
Honey, hang on.
I'll get a car.
Stop!
It hurts.
Stop!
Stop!
Stop!
Stop!
Stop!
What's wrong with that person?
Just ignore it.
Shen Yu! We need to go sign the contract.
We're not going to make it.
What's going on?
My wife is going into labour.
I beg you, please help us.
Take her to a hospital, ok?
Ok.
Shen Yu!
Can you just turn a blind eye?
Is the contract more important or a human life?
Our company will go bankrupt without this contract.
Honey.
Are you ok?
Come.
It hurts.
Are you out of your mind?
Just open the door.
Hang on, honey.
Open the door! Hurry up!
Hang on.
What're you thinking!
What're you doing!
What about our contract?
My belly hurts.
What about our contract?
Secretary Lin.
Secretary.
Secretary Lin.
We're very sorry that we're late.
Secretary Lin,
we had an emergency on the way here.
That's right.
There was a pregnant woman. We had to help her.
You're here to sign the contract?
Yes, yes.
But our boss already left.
He left?
Yeah.
Secretary Lin, can you help us connect again?
Please help us contact your boss, ok?
This is really important to us. Please.
People wanting to sign contracts with us
are lined up as far as the eye can see.
You two should just leave.
Please, Secretary Lin.
We even brought the contract.
Please help us contact him.
Now what're we going to do!
Practice your Falun Gong every day. Be a good person…
Can that put food on the table?
Now we are dead broke.
Come on Lu Ping, calm down.
How can I calm down?
Get out of my sight!
There's nothing to say!
Get lost!
Did you cry?
No.
You
should just make yourself at home here at my place.
Don't think too much about it.
All difficult times will pass.
Yeah.
Xiao Yue, I can't thank you enough.
What do you mean?
You also helped me a lot in the past.
Those are not worth mentioning.
By the way,
there's the interview at my company next week.
You have to cheer up.
Yeah, don't worry.
You've owned a company before,
but now you're looking to work for somebody else.
Is that really alright with you?
It's fine.
Whether I'm starting my own business or working at your company,
I will do everything to the best of my ability.
Good.
Yes.
Shen Yu.
Based on feedback and your performance at work
from today on, you are promoted to Director of Sales and Marketing.
Hope that you feel empowered to do what's right for the company.
Congratulations!
Thank you, VP Han. I'll do my best.
This is our upcoming investment plan.
I believe that with our collective effort,
we will successfully meet this year's KPI's.
That's perfect.
Why're you applauding?
This kind of plan is not worthy of applause.
It's too low.
Arron.
How can you say that?
This doesn't concern you.
Sit down!
I won't sit.
Aren't you being a bully?
This is such a great plan.
What's so great about it?
Director Arron,
if you have suggestions, please share with us.
You're new here and here you are showing off.
Besides,
this kind of plan doesn't catch my eye at all.
You're being totally unreasonable.
VP Han,
what qualifies that Shen Yu to be a director?
How can she be the same level as me?
Such an important position
given to a girl still wet behind the ears
will only result in failure.
Arron,
you're in the wrong here.
You're being petty.
This decision is final.
VP Han,
don't forget that I have a cousin.
I know.
He's a deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee.
Good. You know.
Cuz,
this girl's a beauty right?
Hi.
She's really good at taking care of people.
Get in the car.
Ok.
This is Director Zhang of the Municipal Party Committee.
Please him well.
No problem, Mr. Arron.
Cuz, this is a little something from me.
Director Zhang, it's my pleasure to serve you.
Who're you?
Wow, not bad.
Darling…
You came here to look for me.
I'm sorry! I was wrong.
Please forgive me, ok?
I got defrauded.
I've lost everything.
Lost everything and then remembered me.
I know I'm wrong.
Darling, can you forgive me?
I beg you.
Fine, come on.
Get up.
Do you forgive me?
Get up first.
Thank you, darling.
Come in.
Arron,
why did you come to my home?
President Zhao,
a new director joined our company.
Her name is Shen Yu.
Yes, I heard.
She practices Falun Gong.
It's true.
I get scared even thinking about it.
These days at the office,
she spreads those Falun Gong materials everywhere.
I saw it with my own eyes.
President Zhao,
I worry about our company.
What're we going to do if this continues?
I can't believe something like this happened while I'm on leave.
Yeah.
President Zhao,
if you don't return soon,
who knows what'll happen to our company.
Enough. I got it. You may leave.
It's almost the new year.
We need to be careful.
I got it!
Ok, President Zhao.
I'll take my leave.
President Zhao, aren't you on vacation?
What brings you here?
VP Han,
you're really something.
I take some time off and
the company is turned upside down.
That's right.
What's the deal with the new Director of Sales and Marketing?
Shen Yu is a fine talent.
She does outstanding work.
Outstanding?
The company is almost turning into
a Falun Gong gathering place, you know.
Call her here right now.
Do you really have to do this?
VP Han.
Shen Yu, come to my office.
Ok.
President Zhao,
that Shen Yu might even look down on you.
I will judge her with my own eyes.
VP Han, you called me?
I want to introduce you to
our company's president, Mr. Zhao.
Hello, President Zhao.
President,
this is Shen Yu.
President Zhao.
Open the door!
It's you…
I've finally found you!
At that time, you left without leaving a phone number.
I've been searching for you for a long time. I thought I wouldn't meet you again.
What a coincidence.
Yeah.
So, President Zhao,
how's your wife and child doing?
It's all thanks to you. They are both doing great.
That's wonderful.
I'll get going.
Stop!
Arron,
you good for nothing.
Get back to work
and wait for your judgment.
Amazing!
It must be fate for you to meet here.
Isn't that so?
President Zhao. VP Han.
Tomorrow's annual party is all ready.
Do you have any other changes?
Tomorrow's party will start right on time.
Ok!
Family members of employees are welcome to attend.
Great!
I'll have my revenge for sure.
If you don't talk, don't regret it later.
It's for you.
Answer it.
Hello, Cuz?
It's me, Arron.
Who?
Cuz…
I don't know you.
Hey.
Hello?
What's going on?
Everyone quiet down.
Let's first invite President Zhao to give a few remarks.
Arron,
why're you still here?
You've been fired.
Don't show your face here again.
President Zhao…
are you really getting rid of me?
You can't treat me like that.
Think about it. I've been here all these years.
I put in the effort even if there's no credit.
Please, President Zhao.
I was almost deceived by you.
What? You want to ruin me?
No…
Hurry up and get out of my sight!
President Zhao,
I have parents and children,
plus a mortgage.
Please have mercy on me.
Stop making a scene here.
Get away from me.
Shen Yu, only you can help me.
Please help me out.
I realize my mistakes.
Sorry. I'm sorry.
Ok.
President.
Shen Yu.
I think Arron just had a temporary lapse of judgment.
He made a lot of contributions to the company over the years.
Can you give him another chance?
Look at you.
Then look at Shen Yu.
She helps you even after the way you treated her.
Yeah.
For Shen Yu's sake,
I'll give you one more chance.
Really?
Thank you!
Don't thank me. Thank Shen Yu.
Thank you, Shen Yu!
I promise that
I won't treat you like that again.
It's ok.
Work hard in the future.
Ok.
Next,
our holiday party begins.
Thanks to all of you for the work you put in this year.
This year, I've experienced many deep emotions.
I feel that everyone seems to have changed.
You've shown strong energy and enthusiasm.
Especially after Shen Yu joined,
our performance has improved by leaps and bounds.
Shen Yu, say a few words.
Ok, thank you President Zhao.
Thank you everyone.
After today, it'll be a new year.
It's great to see everyone making a new choice
in the new year.
Let's raise our glasses.
Here's to a toast!
Wish everyone a Happy New Year!
Cheers!
New Century Films wishes everyone a Happy New Year!
