She's even after her boss.

You think that sort would give up her seat?

Hello.

...she seduced Mr. Shen.

That's a bit surprising.

lt seems our caller is

acquainted with Sunglasses Girl.

Yesterday on the bus,

Yesterday on the bus,

l behaved terribly.

l should've given my seat to the man.

l was too self-absorbed.

l'd like to apologise to the elderly gentleman.

And beg the forgiveness of everyone else.

l wasn't mocking the old man.

l was upset and it just came out.

lt's true.

That's great. Thank you.

Hello, Ruoxi.

What's up? Why aren't you here?

Traffic.

Okay, don't come here.

Go straight to No. 23 Middle School. Know it?

Yep.

We're still on Sunglasses Girl.

Hurry. Don't make me wait.

We'll think on it, and you do the same.

Director Shen,

why wasn't Miss Ye here today?

Miss Ye has already left the company.

Who turned on the TV?

Boss, l did.

l didn't mean anything by it.

This business with Ye Lanqiu is a hot topic.

l'm just worried...

it'll compromise the company.

My cousin's a great guy.

He'll sit with you a bit to say thanks for me.

l have to run.

Cousin

thanks.

l was on the bus yesterday too.

lt really was original.

Sit here!

What should l call you?

My surname's Ye.

You were in a fight just now.

Like you, l was pushed.

On the net they say you're like a movie star.

l could only play villains.

Exactly. Female spies and the like.

Where do you work?

l just quit.

Me too.

Let's be Bonnie & Clyde and go rob a bank.

lt's nice not having to go to work.

lt's awful.

l've got debts.

How much do you owe?

Six million?

600,000?

Sixty thousand.

You're a good fighter. l'll hire you.

Hire me?

As a bodyguard?

You ride buses.

What can you possibly pay?

l only need you for a week.

l can pay 50,000.

l'm not kidding.

But there's one condition.

Complete confidentiality.

A difference of 10 or 20 million -

isn't worth risking the deal with Stone.

He might get restless.

Okay, go with his price. Draw up a contract.

Tang Xiaohua.

Coming.

Yes. Private wealth manager.

Principal cardholder Shen Liushu.

Secondary cardholder Mo Xiaoyu.

Mrs. Shen, which one do you like?

l can't choose.

Wrap them up. l'll take all three.

lf you wanted every watch in the shop,

you could afford it.

That's true.

l think Mr. Shen will like the middle one.

What an eye. lt's the priciest one. Hell love it.

''l was wrong.''

Put this with it, wrap it up nicely.

Of course.

l'd like a coffee.

Bring coffee!

Mrs. Shen -

the card's not working.

Try this one.

Sure.

Mrs. Shen, you need to call the bank.

lt seems all your cards are cancelled.

You'd better keep this.

Yes. Education is at fault.

But there's parents and grandparents-

six people in thrall to one child.

Gratifying his or her every wish.

So of course they're self-centred,

with no sense of social responsibility.

Still not what you want?

Teacher Zhang,

this week we're focussing on Ye Lanqiu.

You were her teacher...

in middle school, right?

Could you talk more about her?

For instance, how were her marks,

her relations with classmates...

Her marks were very good.

But...

as for her moral character...

Of course,

l was also shocked by what l saw on TV.

Teacher Zhang, so...

l gather from what you said,

that the school had always...

been very proud of her, right?

ln the past, yes.

But that's not true anymore.

We feel shame now.

l'm in a hurry. Sorry.

You can get a new tenant in tomorrow.

But you paid rent to the end of the year.

Hello, Miss Ye - you there?

Hello? Hello?

Then l'll return your deposit.

No need. Just pay my telephone bill.

l'm leaving furniture and clothes -

Keep what you like, give the rest to charity.

lf they won't take something, who...

whoever.

l'm so sorry.

Don't take the TV thing to heart. Miss Ye.

l'm not.

l'll return the key soon.

Thank you. Bye.

Sunglasses Girl?

Lend me your lD.

Open an account in your name. l'll transfer in some

funds.

No way.

You need to hide dirty money?

lf it's legit why must it be in my name?

l've made an enemy of another woman.

So why trust me?

You'll write an lOU.

Say you owe me one million yuan.

That's crazy. Why would l say that?

l'm about to put it into your account.

You're a slippery one.

You worry about keeping it.

You worry about giving it to me.

What if l keep it? What's the lOU prove?

That it's my money.

Why not just withdraw it?

People would notice.

Why should l help you?

Aren't l helping you too?

How long till l give it back?

Now where?

lf the airport, l'm not going anywhere.

Shut up.

Aren't you worried l might...

get a new lD, take the money and run?

You won't.

l'll return your lD in a few days.

Trust me.

Thanks for your help.

Hello.

Did you see the report on

Sunglasses Girl on TV?

Yes - debate's running hot on the net.

Youth today see traditional morals as an enemy.

We need to forgive our young people.

They lack education.

Giving up a seat is a voluntary thing.

But ''sit here'' - that's a joke.

Today's youth are all so selfish.

But that old man's attitude was wrong too.

What do you take me for -

a ''john''?

This isn't working.

The vox pops aren't saying anything new.

There's not enough for a follow-up.

But Ruoxi,

now it's a mistress and a bus seat.

A rumour's not news.

A hot girl doesn't have to act up...

or be a little mistress...

to incite jealousy and spite.

We've no proof she's anyone's mistress.

Let me see Ye Lanqiu's bio.

Situo.

Executive secretary to Situo's CEO.

ls the source reliable?

''SOSO search:
Ye Lanqiu''

Put interviews, everything,

pro and con on the website.

Onto it.

Director Lu?

We're following up on that.

l'm feeling low and someone sends flowers.

How ironic.

Xiaoyu, lend me your phone.

Cuicui -

Give me your phone.

Hello. This is ''Event of Today''.

Please leave a message.

When did you start hating me?

l was wrong.

But l had no chance to apologise.

You cancelled my cards.

l was trying to buy you a watch.

Listen. l acknowledge your apology.

But know this...

my money isn't yours to spend.

l'm sorry.

Why didn't they broadcast her apology?

Sore point.

l thought l had a real scoop.

But Ruoxi questioned my standpoint.

She said the story is trending hot online.

''Expose:
Sunglasses Girl a Mistress''

We reported it as scandal only yesterday.

Today we let her present her side.

Would the netizens accept that?

You didn't tell Ruoxi l was there, did you?

Please don't.

Why not?

What did you do after l left?

We went our separate ways.

''The story of a wife's revenge''

Ruoxi

You're back.

Remember that hot guy in our class?

He found a rich girl, five years older.

They're getting married.

l said you were in the wedding business.

Nice guy. He immediately agreed.

l'm not cut out for it. l quit.

You said there'd be trouble.

So it landed on you.

Didn't l tell you about the 600,000?

What's it got to do with you?

l lit the fuse.

You have to tell the truth, don't you?

And the bird in the hand flies free.
