She's from Beijing.

She worked and survived

alone in a foreign place.

As colleagues, we come

together quite naturally.

What are you having?

It's not a loan report!

It's a ramble!

Why are you so stupid?

Get out!

Those who can't swim up against

the tide are low standard.

There's no such thing as

wasted time or wasted energy.

What makes success is hard work.

So expensive?

We can honeymoon in Paris with that money.

Some day, we'll visit Paris,

we'll take cruise, watch Eiffel

Tower and ride a carriage.

Let's get off work before night.

You can't get it done

even you work overnight.

Nothing is impossible.

Mr. Chow,

this is a forecast for your

investment return in 5 yrs.

Look, in recent years,

as tier-Z and 3 cities

take off economically...

with the growth in earnings

and spending power...

I'll predict that the annual

return can reach 35% to 38%.

OK!

Sounds good.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Kevin's family owns hundreds of billions.

How many billions he invests

in our fund pool depends on you.

You young guys should get

to know each other well.

Yu-qing made quicker

progress than I expected.

She kept climbing the ladder...

Let me take a look at the contract first.

And surpassed me.

She moved so fast that

I could barely catch up.

You closed another deal.

I'm sure...

your year-end bonus will

even be bigger than mine.

I understand that we drifted

further and further apart.

But I didn't want to lose her.

So I made my last effort to make her stay.

Last Valentine's Day, I

decided to surprise her.

Your wallet is worn

out. I got you a new one.

What about my gift?

This is your gift!

You love sea view.

I've rented it.

Chun-kit,

I know you treat me good,

but...

I'm not ready yet.

Let's take it slow, OK?

By then I understood I was

not good enough for her.

She deserved a better future.

Though I couldn't give

her a prosperous life,

at least I shouldn't stay to drag her.

Since then I haven't picked

up her call or seen her once.

I just don't want her to

see me totally defeated.

I surely had breakups before,

but it's strange that,

it hurted me deeply this time.

I couldn't find ways...

to numb myself other than getting drunk.

But right then, I was surprised that...

there were many people out there...

who gave words and action...

to comfort a frustrated stranger.

You fly back to Beijing and

take care of your wife first.

Let's talk again after her operation.

I'll find someone to handle

the business in Paris asap.

Clarence?

How old are you? Upset by a breakup?

Not just a breakup,

but a total failure.

I'm no longer a young man.

Four "no"s

No money.

No house.

No career.

No lover.

Did you know what's "cut loss"?

"Chop off"!

I was in the investment business.

Go take a break in Paris!

Mr. Chow hired me and sent me here.

He taught me to pull myself

together in a "holiday mood".

That's how I could

have this Paris holiday.

When I first saw you,

I felt like looking at

myself in the saddest days.

I didn't know where I got

the courage to live here...

offering you comfort

and counseling.

In deed, I'm not that tough. Wounded.

All those wisdom mottos, I wrote,

I heard them from people in the bar.

It's easier said than done.

Whether you can move on...

depends on you.

The ring in your wallet is hers?

You told me to let go,

but why're you keeping it?

You just couldn't do it yourself.

Do you still miss her?

You can go now.

I don't need you to patronize me.

Come on. Get a drink.

My apologies.

No, thanks.

Don't worry.

Women don't hold grudges overnight.

Dancing King, I don't

know how to talk to you.

Am I talking to Michael, Henry or Johnny?

You spied on me?

I don't have time to spy on you.

It's my bad luck.

No matter where I go, I

bumped into you cheating.

What cheating?

I'm single. Why can't I date women?

Single?

You think I'm with Amy?

Don't get this wrong.

She's my best friend's wife.

My best friend grabbed my hand...

and Amy's hand...

and passed away without saying a word.

She wanted a florist. I help her to do so.

When I don't have dates,

I eat at her place.

It's just the companionship.

I tried. I once asked her,

I said,

let's get together.

Her face turned black all

at once and said firmly,

"Bring it up once more and

we're no longer friends!"

You stayed in Paris because of her?

Paris is good. A romantic city!

Not just selling and sending flowers,

I could have girlfriends for that.

I can't catch up with

your moral high ground.

I'm about to break down.

I'm tired.

Go get yourself a French girl.

Have a few glasses of wine. Relax!

Love hurts...

More handsome, OK?

(Paris Holiday:
Last day)

Boss...

What happened to you?

Why did you sleep here?

Let me get you a coffee, OK?

Hello?

Are you up yet?

Do you have time to take

a walk with me today?

I'm terribly sorry...

How could this happen?

Your apologies means nothing.

No...

I'm really sorry, Sir.

Amy, Why was that old gentleman so angry?

On the 8th every month, he

comes here to buy flowers...

but it must be the African violet...

which was his deceased

wife's favourite flower.

But due to transportation problem,

we're out of stock today.

And he couldn't visit his

wife's grave with them.

Every month?

When love is strong enough,

not even death can do them apart

I have a feeling that...

my husband never left me.

So...Chung isn't...

I thought you two...

Throughout your life,

you'd bump into people...

you love and hate at the same time.

He's a devil and a angel.

Do you remember that we said...

we'd honeymoon in Paris?

And cruise the most beautiful River Seine?

Don't talk about the past anymore.

OK.

Let's go to Eiffel Tower for

the horse carriage ride later.

We board at Champ de Mars, right?

You've always wanted to see the

Arch of Triumph on a carriage, right?

I did already.

You people are always like that...

wanting things you don't have,

but without cherishing what you have.

Understanding things

only after losing them,

but without the courage to get them back.

But he didn't come home last night.

This is the hotel card that

Ms Zhao gave me yesterday.

If they spent the night together,

Chun-kit isn't your angel.

Yes. Tell them 200 million.

See how they respond.

Call me when you hear from them.

Are you just trying to get back at me?

I did turn down your proposal last year.

But it's not your problem.

It's just bad timing.

It doesn't matter.

I'm very happy with my life...

in Paris right now.

That's the reason you're staying here?

Did you ride the carriage with her?

Are you married?

No I'm not.

It's a bit complicated.

Just tell me.

I'm listening.

You don't really think...

we can start over, do you?

Nothing is impossible.

OK.

This cell phone is our past. OK?

Just ditch it.

You said we'd start over, right?

Just ditch your cell phone!

You haven't changed a bit.

Still impulsive as ever!

It's you who haven't changed!

All you ever care about is
