How could you transfer your son to the construction site?
It's the company's decision. Stop fussing.
You say it so slickly.
Isn't it something you can decide?
He just lost a project. Is it really necessary?
Or
do you have a plan to kick my son out
to make space for your eldest son?
It's he who's good-for-nothing.
He's like this now
because you've been spoiling him.
Because of me?
You're the one who shows favoritism.
If I don't protect him,
I don't know what you would do to hurt him!
Nobody wants to hurt him!
All these years, you've been acting like this!
Aren't you tired?
If you weren't that paranoid,
how would that car accident have happened?
If you didn't have that old lover,
if you didn't have that illegitimate child,
would I be that paranoid?
Director Gu was still in the office yesterday,
and today Director Su is in it.
The world has changed dramatically.
Secretary Qiao has left.
Director Gu has also left.
My heart has left with them too.
Don't be like that.
It's so competitive now.
Do you know how many people are trying to get into Anxia but can't?
Listen to me.
No matter how the world changes,
we have to keep our jobs.
Director Gu said not to be lazy even if he's not here,
and I'm sure
he'll come back.
Get to work.
Se Se, what are you looking at?
Come in.
A'Juan.
What brings you here?
I made you soup.
Have a taste.
Thank you, Aunt.
We're family. There's no need to be that polite.
Try it.
A'Juan,
you fit in here.
Thank you for your support all along.
I'm just a woman
so I can't help you much.
But your uncle thinks you're working hard
and wants to help you.
Previously,
it was because Gu Yi
thought your uncle was too serious and responsible
so he made a big deal out of a small matter.
Aunt,
if Uncle wants to help me,
of course, I'm happy.
But if I let
Uncle be reinstated as soon as I take office,
I'm afraid it will spark rumors.
I'm not asking you to let him be reinstated in office.
If you could just give him a chance…
All right, Aunt.
I'll make arrangements for my uncle.
A'Juan, you're so considerate.
Drink it
while it's hot. There's more.
Jiahe is also interested in cooperating with Anxia.
Once they win the bid,
the two companies will work together on this project.
This is really the safest thing to do right now.
What is your plan now?
Are you really going to the construction site?
What can I do? The transfer order was issued.
I'm telling you,
Su Juan arranged for it
just to see you suffer.
You might as well leave the company directly.
Why do you have to suffer?
Before the Gret project is finalized,
I won't leave.
And someone
must be behind Chen Lan's leak.
Help me get him to talk.
Okay, don't worry. I understand.
You have not fully recovered yet.
You should take more time off to rest.
I'm almost fine.
If I miss work due to a lingering injury,
I'll be laughed at.
Just let them laugh.
Your body is the most important.
Qiao Jing.
I have nothing now.
Do you despise me?
Yes.
So you can't give up or be discouraged.
Director Gu can't be defeated
by such a small pitfall.
Will you stay with me?
I am Guan Hui,
the person in charge of the construction of the property.
From now on, we are colleagues.
We have to take care of each other.
This is the office area.
That is the living area.
Further down
is the construction site.
Director Gu.
No, Junior Gu.
No, Coordinator Gu.
Supervisor Zhang.
Do you know each other?
You still don't know Director Gu, right?
Director Gu used to work in the office at the top floor.
I'm so sorry that
you are transferred here.
I'm just
a project coordinator here.
I never thought I could work with Coordinator Gu.
I am the project supervisor appointed by Director Su himself
and responsible for the overall project.
I will arrange all your work,
and you have to report to me.
It's getting late. Let's go to the construction site.
Xiao Yi, you just joined us.
I don't have anything suitable for you yet.
But I am your uncle.
We are family both in public and in private.
I have to give you something to do.
We're short of hands to manage the construction waste.
How about you be a waste coordinator?
Yong Quan, Da Qiang, Xiao Wei,
come over.
All right.
This is the new Coordinator Gu.
From now on, you are under his management.
Does such a small amount of work
require a coordinator to oversee things?
Coordinator Gu
is very experienced in management.
But I don't know
what Coordinator Gu can do on the construction site.
What exactly am I responsible for?
You work with the waste recycling company
to collect and deliver all construction waste
in the North District.
By the way,
you have to make sure the area is clean and organized.
The construction site is messy and dirty
so it's inconvenient for you
to be in a suit.
I see, Supervisor Zhang.
Lin Yong,
how much waste does the North District process in one day?
The North District has a little more,
about five or six tons a day.
The waste recycling company
comes to pick it up every other day.
The waste has to be sorted before recycling.
And with such a large volume,
why don't they sort it before sending it over?
This way, we can avoid wastage
and save our time as well.
Don't dream about it.
We have to do this work ourselves.
My son.
Mom, why are you here?
You haven't recovered yet.
How can you pick waste here?
Come on, go back with me.
Mom, it's okay. This is my job.
You…
Even if you are not Director Gu now,
you are still a top graduate from an elite school.
How can you pick waste here?
Su Juan is so evil.
He must have done this on purpose.
Let's go look for him.
Mom, calm down.
I have been an executive of Anxia
since I graduated.
Coming here now to gain experience is also a great learning opportunity.
Look, the sun is shining so bright.
And it is so messy and dirty here. I…
Gu Gong , people from the waste recycling company are here.
Got it.
Mom, I have to get to work.
It is so messy here.
Don't come over again.
Don't worry about me.
He has really changed a lot.
He does all this for you.
It's my fault.
I've always hoped that Gu Yi
would find someone of equal stature.
I never thought
he would plummet for love.
Qiao Jing,
I can't stop him from loving you.
Now I just hope
that his efforts can be rewarded,
and his earnestness
can result in your sincerity.
Let me help you.
Y-You've put it on?
Does it look good?
Do you know what it means to put it on?
I do.
After you put it on,
you're not allowed to take it off again.
I don't want to.
You've had a hard time.
Brothers, it's time.
- Let's go, time to eat.
Let's go to eat.
Gu Gong, let's go and eat.
You guys go first. I'll take a break.
All right.
A'Juan.
No, Director Su.
The construction site is so messy, and it's the middle of the day.
Why did you personally come over?
Let's go and eat.
It's fine.
I just came by to check.
You're on track, right?
Yes, don't worry.
We're fast.
How are you getting used to the job?
What's with his attitude?
It's normal
for complaints of such a big difference in working environment.
During his time on the construction site,
I did not treat him badly.
Who put the bricks here?
Coordinator Gu,
the regulation states
that glass waste should be separated from other waste.
Why are the glass shards
and bricks still piled up together here?
I don't know about this regulation.
The notice has been issued.
Don't you know?
If you don't know, it is your negligence.
There's probably still time to fix it.
I'll call the workers to clear it up.
No.
You're in charge of this area
so you should fix it.
You have to clean it up before we return this afternoon.
Director Gu, let me help you.
Secretary Yang,
I'm training him.
If you help him,
he won't learn
and will make the same mistake again.
Yang Yang,
if you get all dusty,
how will you go to the meeting with me later?
Take it slow.
I thought y
ou weren't used to a roadside food stall.
I've never eaten in a place like this before,
but now I find
the taste of food in these places
is no worse than a five-star restaurant.
Really?
Thank you, Honey.
What are you calling me? Have we gotten our marriage certificate?
If you say yes,
we'll go register our marriage immediately.
Stop this nonsense. Just eat.
You are hungry, right?
Let me taste yours.
We ordered the same food.
Yours is different.
How can we remove all these waste during the day?
Waste removal is usually done at night.
Do they want us to remove all these by hand now?
What's wrong?
- Gu Gong.
Gu Gong.
There's a notice saying
that we must remove the waste during the day today.
I have no ideas, too.
Must we remove all these waste during daytime today?
These waste have been here for a day.
Director Zhang requires its removal by today.
But waste trucks aren't allowed on the road now.
I'll handle it.
- Mr. Zheng.
What's wrong?
The waste piled up for a day
and wasn't moved.
I was wondering
if you could help us remove some.
Mr. Zheng. Mr. Zheng.
There's a regulation stating that
large trucks can only travel roads at 10 p.m.
Wait till tonight.
Are any small trucks available for the road now?
Mr. Zheng. Mr. Zheng.
Mr. Zheng.
Gu Gong,
today's waste will pile too.
We have to get these out of here.
Large trucks can't go on the road.
We can only remove
bit by bit via small trucks.
It will be slow, but it's better than nothing.
Gu Gong, you can set off now.
Okay.
Come on.
It's been a long day. Let's drink.
Thank you for the hard work.
Thank you, all.
We've all worked hard.
Is it Gu Gong?
Come on.
Gu Gong, come on.
Take a seat.
Gu Gong,
I think we have just a little left.
Let the big truck take all the rest.
There are about two truckloads left.
Yes, Gu Gong.
It's been a long day.
- If not for you,
we wouldn't have finished it today, right?
Yes.
Well, I, A'Qiang, will toast you first.
Come on, cheers.
It's good
to drink after work.
It seems to be hard getting that down, Gu Gong.
No, I don't usually drink.
These drinks cost ¥10 ($1.40) a bottle.
We usually can't afford it.
We just drink cheap liquor to get by.
I've spent my whole life building houses for others.
I also want to save money to build my own house.
Come, let's toast your future home in advance.
- All right, come on.
Here's a toast to you.
All right
Here's a toast to you, too, Brother Qiang.
Come on, come.
Gu Gong, I have work later
so I'll drink water instead of alcohol.
My daughter is calling me.
I'll take it.
Hello, Girl.
Dad, I got first place in the exam.
My girl got first place again.
That's amazing,
Dad, when will you get home?
I miss you so much.
I miss you, too,
but I still have work to do here.
When I'm done,
I will come see you.
- Bye, Dad.
Be good.
My daughter.
Brother Qiang, your daughter is really amazing.
She will surely get into a good university in the future.
Yes, she will certainly be a white-collar worker,
sitting in the office
with air-conditioning earning big money.
Being a white-collar worker in an office is not necessarily good.
See those office buildings across from us.
The lights are on every night.
They must be working overtime all night.
But it's better than getting dusty on the construction site, right?
Office workers' lives are not any better than yours.
It seems you are not the same as us.
Why are you working on a construction site?
Construction work isn't so bad.
We can also make money for a wife and raise a child, right?
That's true.
Are you married yet?
Not yet, but I will be soon.
We should cheer you in advance.
Right, right. We must celebrate.
Gu Gong, come on, may you have a child soon.
We must congratulate you.
Come on.
What took you so long? I've been waiting for you.
I just got held up.
With you dressed in this way,
who can recognize the suave,
mighty Director Gu
if you walk on the streets?
Cut the crap and take me home.
You're covered in mud. This is my newly bought car.
You despise me, don't you?
I'm telling you,
this is the symbol of labor workers.
From now on, don't call me Director Gu.
Please call me Gu Gong.
All right, Director Gu.
How's Chen Lan doing?
He still won't talk?
That guy is really challenging me.
He's very stubborn.
Do you think it's possible that he really did it unwittingly?
This whole thing is a trap.
Chen Lan is just a part of it.
He wouldn't have the guts
to reveal my project.
He is someone's tool,
and it's very likely Su Juan.
It's possible.
Why are you still up so late?
What are you studying?
Come on.
I scrutinized
the waste recycling company that the contractor found.
Although they have professional equipment and technology,
their recycling rate isn't high,
just less than 10%.
Also, a huge amount of available resources
are incinerated in landfills.
The problem is unsolved at the root.
It wastes human, financial and material resources,
and it's not environmentally friendly.
I found there's a new technology
to crush construction waste
into something truly reusable.
Do you seek technical research on this?
Exactly.
But to be precise,
I want to start a business
and leave Anxia.
From childhood to adulthood,
no matter where I go
and what achievements I make,
I've always carried the Gu family
and Anxia's glory with me.
I've been contemplating a lot.
I think it's time for me to explore
and see what I'm capable of.
Do you think it's impulsive?
I knew it.
Gu Yi can't be defeated by a small pitfall.
Even if he stepped into the soil,
he can still bloom.
But right now, I only have this idea.
To turn it into reality,
it will certainly be arduous.
Your concept is a most important step.
Starting from scratch is indeed tough,
but the country implemented many favorable policies
to support innovation and enterprise.
I think this is a great prospect.
With your skills, there's no drawback.
Secretary Qiao, are you willing to assist me?
Can you afford me?
You're already the boss' wife,
but you want even more.
I want it all.
Brother Qiang! Brother Qiang!
Who is it? What's wrong?
Something big has happened. Brother Quan got hurt.
How's the injured worker?
His life is not in danger,
but he is still unconscious.
We have repeatedly emphasized
the importance of personal safety.
Why did this happen?
The driver said it was due to debris on the road
that caused the vehicle to overturn accidentally.
"Debris"?
There was a big rock.
Probably after the workers cleaned up the site,
Gu Yi
did not do a good job of inspection.
Do you mean
it's Gu Yi's negligence?
He's in charge of that area.
We checked the surveillance;
there was a bump on the road back then.
Gu Yi caused such a big accident!
He must take responsibility!
Director Su, it's not proven yet
so don't jump to conclusions.
Since it happened in the area that Gu Yi manages,
as a supervisor, he is responsible for it.
The most important thing
now is the injured worker's condition.
Yang Yang, inform relevant department
heads to meet at the company immediately.
Yes.
If you leave us,
how will we live?
What did the doctor say?
He had a shattered left leg,
joint damage, and a concussion.
It's all my fault.
I should have stayed and dealt with it with them.
Didn't you check everything before you left?
How could something like this happen?
You weren't that careless.
The results still need to be investigated.
Don't blame yourself now.
As decided by the company,
due to poor supervision and management,
Project Manager Guo Wen
has been dismissed.
In addition,
Safety Director Wang Bin,
Production Supervisor Xu Rong,
and area person in charge, Gu Yi,
Coordinator Gu,
are suspended for serious dereliction of duty!
Once Lin Yong Quan wakes up,
we will pursue further responsibility!
Someone got injured. It's a production safety issue.
Why are you punishing me?
Such a big accident happened.
Do you think you have no responsibility?
Now you are here complaining.
What were you doing earlier?
What does this have to do with Gu Gong?
If broken bricks weren't on the ground,
would Lin Yong Quan get in an accident?
People like him who pull strings should have left long ago.
He knows nothing but to make trouble here.
Lin Yong Quan has a family to support.
He made them suffer.
I heard he's here because he got into trouble.
Stop talking nonsense here.
There's no construction site without accidents.
Right.
Gu Gong works seriously.
We all see it with our eyes.
All right, quiet.
Everyone, pull yourselves together.
Follow the rules at all times
and keep in mind safety first!
On the construction site,
safety is top priority.
How did this happen?
I'm sorry, Dad. It's my negligence.
It's no use apologizing to me.
Go apologize to the injured and his family.
We'll take care of his family,
apologize and compensate.
This time, was it Gu Yi's fault again?
I've already suspended him.
But we must wait for the worker to awake
before we decide what to do next.
When did Gu Yi become so careless?
Situations always happen at the construction site.
Negligence is common.
I don't want to see
such matters happening again.
Understood.
