Caught in the Web Page #5

You run our home on business principles.

And treat me, your wife, like a competitor.

That turns you on, doesn't it?

About you and young Ye -

you never gave me one word of explanation.

This isn't working, Shen Liushu

l want a divorce.

Wow.

You'd dare ask for a divorce?

That's for me to decide.

You don't have a say.

''Situo boss's surprising new mystery woman.

The New Love of the Situo CEO''

Hello.

Boss, l've written the piece.

lt's titled Head of Situo Finds New Love

l've seen them. Publish it.

Tomorrow have a press release ready.

Once the net's gone crazy, put it out.

And clear the air - my New Love

is none other than my own wife.

''Situo boss's surprising new mystery woman.

The New Love of the Situo CEO''

''Written by and starring himself''

You bought it?

Hired it.

Come. Over here. l'll take your photo.

Stop pretending you have so much to do.

Shouldn't l earn my money?

First you play a drunk, now a '30s movie star.

lt'll get more exciting in a minute.

Ruoxi, l have to go somewhere.

Let me wear your jacket.

What's up?

lt's good. l'll tell you after.

''What's Behind Situo's Declaration?''

Chen Ruoxi

Slow down!

Stop!

l'm driving.

Please sign here.

''Personal Safe Deposit Box Regulations''

Mrs. Shen, l need to photocopy your lD.

Yang Jiaqi.

lt really is you.

How'd you find me?

Because of Ye Lanqiu.

l was so rapt by the whole affair.

l even watched the show's credits.

So tell me about Ye Lanqiu. Whats she really like?

The boss wanted to fire her ages ago.

What does that tell you?

Then how come...

they say she's his mistress?

lf she was his mistress...

she'd have got rid of me long ago.

What do you mean?

Ye Lanqiu knows very well...

that her sexiness...

is all she's got over me.

Let's get to business.

A friend asked me to help out.

lt's a corporate anniversary video.

l'm good friends with the boss.

He'll be here in a sec.

You're mistaken.

l'm not in advertising. l'm in news.

Ah, here he is.

How do you do.

Why didn't Chen Ruoxi come?

lt's such a good job -

l saved it for my old classmate.

The Ye Qiulan incident.

Ye Lanqiu.

The Ye Lanqiu incident.

Great reporting.

So l decided

to entrust this job to Reporter Chen.

She can advise us.

Everyone gets a cut.

l hope we can sign off on it tomorrow.

Open it.

Thank you.

Send me Chen Ruoxi's bank details.

A 300 yuan ticket.

You both need to sign.

Hold on.

Not me. l cant jump.

l mean it.

lt's your job.

l'm sick too.

ln the head. l've got a heart problem.

Not quite the same thing.

Why not tell me when l hired you?

You didn't ask.

You think l'm brave?

l just want to test my limits.

So, a bungee jump.

l need to be stronger.

l get it.

A struggle with fate at a time of despair.

l'm still not jumping. Sorry.

l'm not trying to talk you into it.

l just wanted to tell you the truth.

l knew something was up.

What girl would lie around in a nightie

while letting a strange man hang around.

l see - l'm lucky you're so decent.

Even if you do have a heart condition.

l can tell you still don't believe me.

Jump. l'm asking you nicely.

You still haven't given up.

Okay, l'll jump.

What about your heart problem?

You're the one with a heart problem.

lf this was your final minute...

what would you want to say?

There are easier ways to earn a crust.

lf you scream, don't do it in my ear.

Yang Shoucheng, you're so unpoetic.

We're not in advertising.

What can l do with this?

Corporate videos today are all alike.

He wants to pick your brain

for fresh ideas, new angles.

Make it stand out from the rest.

Ruoxi, you missed the corners.

End of discussion. Pour cold water on it.

Sis, you've no idea...

how much you're admired for this story.

Sister.

l'll come up with some ideas.

They're not saying do it for free.

So that's why you're excited.

Give it to advertising then.

What the

l need your bank details.

We saw this old man fall. No one helped.

Bystanders said they feared trouble.

Ruoxi, the theme is...

we all get old. When it's your turn -

would you welcome such indifference?

Exactly.

lf an old person falls, we must help.

Exactly.

Hello?

ls this Miss Chen Ruoxi?

Yes. To whom am l speaking?

Mo Xiaoyu.

Who?

Mo Xiaoyu. Shen Liushu's wife.

l have a feeling, Zhang Mu...

Ye Lanqiu's not coming back.

Why?

Didn't she ask for one week's holiday?

You know who called the station that day?

Surely, it was no coincidence.

there was nothing between me and Ye.

One time,

Ye cries on my shoulder.

and my wife walks in.

Get a hold of Mo Xiaoyu's mobile.

l want to see her texts.

And find out who her associates are.

From your name l thought you'd be older.

You're younger than l expected.

Mrs. Shen, what can l do for you?

Nothing. lts just a little apology

for shutting the door in your face. Cheers.

Second, l want to ask a favour.

Please stop harassing my husband.

l'm not out to harass anyone.

l report on society. lt's my work.

lt's not personal.

l really respect your moral integrity.

l can't force you. Let's have a drink.

Old Shen isn't what they call

a princeling or a 2nd-gen tycoon.

He's an entirely self-made man.

No one else could inspire me

to such sacrifice.

You don't mess with Old Shen.

Are you threatening me?

lf only l could threaten people.

Online they say Ye Lanqiu is Old Shen's -

mistress.

You know how humiliating that is?

l met him when he was just starting out.

He had ulcers from drinking.

l heard congee could help.

Every day these 15 years

l've made him congee. That's devotion.

l make my boyfriend a sandwich every day.

Really?

Old Shen has another eccentricity.

What's that?

Sleepwalking. lt's so scary.

For years, l never slept the night through.

l was terrified he'd endanger himself.

l'd stay awake while he slept.

lf Ye Lanqiu really is his mistress -

shame on her.

Yes, shame on her.

Have this ever happened to you?

Yes. To my mom.

lt tore the family apart.

l just had an idea.

Since we both hate these mistresses -

do a report on Ye and the others.

You can include what l told you.

We can't report that sort of story.

lt won't work. lt's not news.

Get a proxy to stir things up.

Funny you should say that.

l've an old friend who does that.

Want his phone number?

Or should l call for you?

You can call in a minute. Drink first.

What's your boyfriend look like?

He's younger than me. He's hot.

You don't worry?

Not on that account, honestly.

l never used to worry either.

Until the day l opened the door

and saw Ye Lanqiu and Old Shen

in each other's arms.

Sister. Bottoms up.

Ruoxi's really made it.

On account of the Ye Lanqiu story

she landed a big job for the station.

That's fast.

One's happiness, another's sorrow.

No sorrow for me. l'll get my chance.

The second it crosses my path.

l'll grab it, grab it.

Why so quiet?

Didn't you hear my heroic rant?

You don't seem like yourself today.

You're in a trance.

How's it going with that guy with the glasses?
