Honey Money Phony (2024) Movie Script
I'm Lin Qing Lang, 29 years old.
This is my 527th day
working in Hong Kong-Macau.
It's also the 242nd day since my
ex-boyfriend duped me of 200,000 yuan.
People say moving on
from a heart-wrenching relationship
involves the stages of withdrawal,
loneliness, and resignation.
But none of that is worse
than my current state...
Bank loan repayment.
[Miss Thrifty's Frugal Life]
Yes, I took a loan for the 200,000 yuan.
In order to pay the loan, I took on
multiple part-time jobs after work.
I've worked as a waitress
and handed out flyers.
Sir, take one!
I've also walked dogs.
Sorry.
I even became a content creator.
I look like I'm sharing
smart money-saving tips.
But I'm just trying to be
funny so people cash in.
Miss Thrifty's Frugal Life!
Can't eat poor, dress poor,
but no brains means poverty!
Hey, I'm Miss Thrifty, Qing Lang!
The prices of eggs at the supermarket
are icky lately.
So, I have a new tip...
This guy!
[Pet: Monica]
It's not that I can't afford eggs.
[Egg Provider]
But raising a chicken
is more cost efficient!
[Save 2.00 yuan on eggs!]
So, I spend my days brainstorming,
trying different styles, and writing skits.
Join us!
And you'll be beautiful!
But the rewards I do get
aren't even enough to pay
for the site's annual membership fee.
Is this bad luck some kind of punishment,
or did I land myself in this state?
But these days of being mocked
by bank notifications...
I've had enough of it.
- Oh dear!
- She's bleeding!
[Qi Ming Insurance]
[Lin Qing Lang]
Access approved.
Another victim?
It's my first job of the week.
When will you stop?
Maybe when I've exhausted
the cartons of fake blood at home.
Accident scams in this day and age?
I'm nostalgic for the past, you know.
But I'm trying a new performance style.
Deep, really deep.
This roll of fake blood is this week's KPI.
Loan payment of 200 yuan?
- Hello?
- A Lamborghini! Time to get to work!
This is I See You's
customer service, ID 0428.
Yes?
I'm calling to inform you
about your suspended account.
What?
The platform prohibits
offline monetary transactions.
Someone has reported
you for donations requests.
The chat number in the comments
appears to be your bank account number.
They even provided transaction records.
Wait, many creators do the same!
Why are you picking on me?
We're operating according to procedure.
If you wish to restore your account,
please pay a fine of 3,000 yuan.
Please transfer the fee
to our bank account within a day.
The bank account number
has been sent to you via text message.
What if I don't pay the fine?
I'll need you to consult sales about that.
Please wait a moment.
We noticed you have objections to the fine.
According to the platform's regulations,
the platform reserves the right to delete
your account if you refuse to pay the fine.
Please enter your PIN.
[Transfer and remittance, Change password]
And the account name...
Hu Jian Lin.
[Be alert with bank transactions,
Safety against scams]
Why is it a personal account?
The company uses employee names
for auditing purposes.
[Recipient: Hu Jian Lin]
Hang on, my phone is
running our of battery.
Let me top up the amount.
How are these related, ma'am?
Check this account.
Ouyang Hui?
You picked the wrong victim! I work
at the largest insurance company here!
I'll expose your personal details
and this phone call on the internet!
I'll make sure you're ripped to shreds
and cancelled!
Goddamn scammer!
Wait, you haven't lost anything.
But I've lost 200 yuan here.
How about I offer another 500 yuan
and we settle this privately?
Hell no.
800! You can buy enough eggs for
your darn chicken to go on maternity leave.
I don't want a scammer's money!
Don't act all high and
mighty. State your price.
200,000 yuan.
You know, I can call the police.
State a more practical request.
I want...
I'm here. Where are you?
I'm in Paris.
Gotcha, I'll head over.
- Where are you?
- Headed over to Venice.
What?
You asked to meet. Are
you really keen on this?
I blinked and ended up in London.
Where the hell are you?
Why play mysterious?
Sir, can you take a photo for me?
Sure.
I even met Richie Ren,
but you're nowhere to be seen!
- Aging well, huh.
- Thanks.
I wasn't talking about you.
You recognize me? How
about a photo together?
Sure, but later. I'm busy now.
Where are you?
If you don't show up,
I'm heading to the police station.
You saw how I look.
So handsome. It'll be horrible
if I end up in jail.
- Are you skilled?
- In what sense?
Here's the thing, Ms. Pretty was cheated
of 200,000 yuan by Mr. Handsome.
Can you scam him and get the money back?
So, you want me to scam your boyfriend
for your money?
Why didn't you say so?
Let's hear your story.
Must we do this on a call?
It's called safety distancing.
Fine, I'm listening.
Back then, I had just been laid off, and
I joined a tennis club as a distraction.
That was where I met Zhang Zi Jun.
Hang on, this flashback is too rose-tinted.
Everyone's memories are filtered somehow.
Besides, I'm narrating a story.
What? And you fell for him right away?
It's an exaggeration.
I made him cooler,
so I look like I have decent taste.
Should've used my racket.
That's cool?
After that, he started wooing me.
He accompanied me through interviews
[Lin Qing Lang]
until I got a job.
My former company sued me
over a non-compete agreement.
- Eat the food while its hot.
- Thanks.
He went the extra mile to help me get
legal aid. [Appeal to Labor Department...]
We even won the case.
People say a lady's
hair tie is a man's ring.
So, I put it on.
You don't find it too mushy, right?
Hit it.
Pig butchering scam. Classic.
But it works.
Oh, but I have to say, his massage skills
are good enough to be cultural assets.
And he started asking you for money?
Nope, he wanted to break up.
A strategic retreat. Smart.
Qing Qing, let's break up.
Stupid of me to fall
for an investment scam.
I even burned my tuition fees.
All I wanted was to
give you a better future.
I can get a loan from my company
to cover your tuition fees.
That won't do! I can't take your money!
Don't we have a future together?
You're the best.
- You fell for that?
- You fell for that?
We are arriving at the next station...
Goodbye, Ms. True Love.
I despise such scammers the most.
Is there a hierarchy for con men?
Folks like me take money without
duping feelings. We're professionals.
Those who toy with feelings
without cashing in are players.
Those who steal money and feelings are...
- Douchebags!
- Douchebags!
An ordinary girl like you
is just an appetizer for him.
He'll use your money to dress himself up
and hunt for bigger fish.
[Accounting]
[Employment Fees]
Jun Jun...
Why are you here? We're no longer an item.
You can cheat me of my
feelings, but not my money.
Return the money to
me. Installments are fine.
200,000... 131,000...
Cheat? What do you mean by that?
And what's this about returning money?
You gave me the money.
Wait...
Zero, zero, zero...
Wasn't there some kind of I.O.U?
Duh, there was one.
[I.O.U: I owe my darling Qing Lang
a wonderful future. Zhang Zi Jun]
Wow, what an infatuated idiot.
What? Haven't you ever been in love?
Love isn't for the ambitious.
I tried everything to get my money back.
I can leave the past behind.
[Zhang Zi Jun, General Manager]
I just want to know why you scammed me.
Hand it over.
A lipstick voice recorder? How fancy.
201,314 is a unique number ("I love you forever").
Usually, such cases are treated as gifts.
It'll be tough getting your money back.
Sir, were you scammed, too?
Nope, I was the scammer.
Come on, get moving.
[Do you even have a freaking conscience?]
Right now, I have an even better plan.
If you get my money back,
I'll delete the recording.
He's working over there.
[Seagull Travel Agency]
Not bad, prime location.
They have several branches.
That's him! He's coming over!
You don't have to run.
That's Ms. Hai Ou, the
travel agency's boss.
She also fell for his
tricks during tennis class.
I guess he found his main dish.
Yeah, and he's the general manager now.
Gone are his tennis teacher days.
"People say a lady's
hair tie is a man's ring."
"So, I put it on.
You don't find it too mushy, right?"
That's what he said to Ms. Hai Ou.
What? Ring a bell?
He didn't even change the script!
Hang on, how do you know
what they're talking about?
Heard of lip reading?
Lip reading...
What're you doing?
[Traditional Secret Recipe,
Tripe Experts, Classic Taste]
Traditional secret recipe,
tripe experts, classic taste.
Kitty's kittens keeps Kitty busy
with keeping clean.
If you scam me, I'll send you to prison where
you'll be shoved around, roughed up, and...
Be more civil, vicious Miss Thrifty.
I accept your proposal,
so delete the recording.
That easy?
Yeah, it'll just be getting rid
of a bastard for my industry.
[Scammer Scum]
How am I a scumbag? I'm just a conman.
Look.
[Delete]
There, deleted.
- What's the plan?
- Let me think of something. I'll contact you.
Come on, I'll give you my number.
Don't I have it?
Do you think I'd use a scam number
for personal use?
But is "Ouyang Hui" your real name?
[Ouyang Hui]
What do you think?
Nice to meet you.
Qing Lang, I'll get going.
Bye.
[Trash Recycling: 10.00 yuan]
The plan is simple.
[Ouyang Hui: I have a plan!]
We pretend to be customers
and book a hotel through Zhang Zi Jun.
- Here's your iced lemon tea.
- Thanks.
After that, we pretend to be hotel staff
and make him pay the hotel bill.
We're using a hotel scam
on a travel agency staff?
Does that make sense?
We'll play in his field.
Step one, scouting the hotel.
You're going by "Ding Fei" this time?
[General Manager, Ding Fei, Philip]
What about me?
Miss, what's your name?
Cui Cui Cui.
[General Manager's
Assistant, Cui Cui Cui Frances]
This is a nice name.
My dad has an even nicer name, Badass Cui.
You even know how to do this?
Bi... Yu.
[FISH, Bi Yu Travel Agency]
Together, they make "turtle".
So, you're insulting Zhang Zi Jun
and saying he's slow-witted?
That's quite an offensive name.
This is my father's name.
Mr. Ouyang Bi Yu?
I guess your dad must
be living a long life.
We're in the lobby.
Don't speak and follow my lead.
Welcome to Jin Hai Hotel.
"Bi Yu"? That's an interesting name.
Oh, I should introduce myself.
I'm... Frank.
- Hello.
- Hey.
I'm Ding Fei.
Ding Fei?
Ding Fei...
Philip...
I prefer friends to use
my nickname, "Mm-mm".
Mm-mm?
So cute. You can use my nickname, too.
Cai Cai.
Hello.
[Cui Cui Cui]
Cui...
Cui Cui.
Cui Cui Cui
Frances Cui, a name
that spits and sprays
I really hope we can work together.
Maintenance, come over
to fix the leaking air-con.
Maintenance says,
"Leaking, no freaking way."
By the way, I got to know someone
in this industry named Zhang Zi Jun.
I know him, he often works with our hotel.
He's very generous.
Last year, he insisted on inviting me
to the North Pole.
I made a wish to the Northern Lights,
hoping I can visit the Sahara this year.
The Sahara?
I happen to have return tickets there.
No longer, the item's been discontinued.
My assistant isn't
familiar with the business.
How's your schedule?
[Broke]
I can adjust it.
- Oh.
- But if I go alone...
My girlfriend will miss me.
A couple trip? Leave it to me.
I want you to get my money back,
not funnel more money in.
I'll cover this expense first,
but you'll have to pay me back
with 1% daily interest.
And we aren't trying to get 6 yuan.
It's 600,000 yuan.
600,000 yuan? Wasn't it 200,000?
Triple compensation for the job,
and we aren't the only ones in it.
What?
Get a girl to play Zhang
Zi Jun's next victim.
Once the job's done, 300,000 is yours.
As for the remaining, we'll need a
pro fraudster to play Frank's colleague.
That'll cost 200,000.
What about the remaining 100,000?
No, hell no.
Hey, I agreed to help, but not for free.
I knew you'd be like this, so I hid my ace.
I accept your proposal,
so delete the recording.
Look.
[Delete]
There, deleted.
I predicted your tricks, so I deleted it.
[Folder empty]
I'll give you my number.
Thanks.
I saw through your tricks.
So, I have another ace.
Looks like an ordinary lipstick? Nah.
It's a recording device
with everything you said.
Oh, is that so?
Oh dear, you're looking pale.
Try using some lipstick, Frances Cui!
He scammed you and many others.
Getting a few more
dollars isn't too much to ask.
If we dupe him of 600,000,
we'll be bona fide scammers.
Either you be a scammer
or a fool. Your choice.
Trust me. Think about
the countless other victims.
Any candidates to be Zhang Zi Jun's target?
I do have someone in mind.
How could he have hit
someone driving this slow?
Don't you look before crossing the road...
Perfect timing, huh.
- She's at her usual spot.
- Sir.
I'm so sorry, but my guide dog
is having its funeral today.
I was in a hurry, it's all my fault.
- I'm so sorry.
- Is she for real?
I'll help you up.
[If Only I Had Three Days of Light]
She's Xiao Hui, and she came here
to study theater while working part-time.
But she got scammed into an illegal casino,
and owes loan sharks now.
I'm in a hurry, so goodbye.
You're bleeding!
It doesn't matter whose fault it is!
Let's get you to the hospital!
She went to the casino in arms
to get her money back,
but they raised their weapons.
That of the law.
Both parties were punished.
She loaned 100,000 from our company
to pay fines and compensation.
After that, she became a street performer.
No, I don't want to go to the hospital.
My guide dog will be cremated soon.
I have to see it off.
- I'll take you to the crematorium.
- You have a call from pet funeral services...
Phone...
Answer.
Hello?
Yes, I'm the owner of Gua Gua.
They cremated her ahead of time?
[Stanislavski's Method Acting]
But I'm not there yet! I'm on the way!
I was in a car accident!
How could you do this?
I haven't said my final farewell!
This is a small token from me. Take it.
My blindness is to blame!
Here's my phone number.
Your dog can't be revived. My condolences.
So moving.
That deserved an Oscar.
You were really into it.
Not bad, I guess. Maybe
a little exaggerated.
Accident scams are old-fashioned,
but you brought them back into fashion
with your style.
Astonishing.
- A fellow conman?
- Pleasure to meet you.
Sorry for the mess.
Do you need to visit the hospital
for the bleeding?
It's fine, that's fake blood.
Look, it's a blood pack.
Hey, it didn't burst.
No way, where else did
all this blood come from...
Such a fat paycheck,
and I can get revenge for a good friend.
What's my role?
This time, you're the wealthy daughter
in the country.
But I've never experienced such a life.
I observed your acting,
and you're great at getting into character.
Rich kids are also children,
so they'll have desires and flaws.
Is he some kind of acting coach?
Zhang Zi Jun must see you
as a feeble and helpless lamb.
He loves scamming women.
So, we need to flirt with this wolf
and lure him into our trap.
Wolves only know how to hunt,
but they don't expect a lamb to trick them.
Let's go wolf hunting.
Cai Cai is setting off!
[6 Days Left]
[Hong Kong-Macau, Haizhu Port]
Why are we heading to Haizhu Peninsula?
We're rich kids, so he
should be coming to us.
[Dong Electronics]
I emailed Zhang Zi Jun as a secretary
from Dong Electronics.
I told him that Miss Dong Yi Kui, the
chairman's daughter, wants him to plan a trip.
[Chairman's Secretary, Sabrina]
[Sent]
I bet he'll search the web for info,
and our plan will be busted.
Mr. Dong is quite a player
in romance and business.
Plus, he's very private.
So, we just need to leave
enough room for imagination.
Dong...
[I planted countless sunflowers in my
backyard. They remind me of my childhood...]
Yi Kui... ("Kui" for sunflower)
When we meet Zhang Zi Jun,
we must do more than make him fall for Miss
Dong. [Thank you. I'll arrange a time to visit.]
We have to get his phone
and change Frank's number to ours.
Hello, sir.
I'm here for a meeting at Dong Electronics.
Please scan your security code.
How do we get up there?
We don't have to. Meeting
in the lobby is enough.
That's too casual.
Yeah, wealthy folks don't think too much.
[Sabrina: Hello, Mr. Zhang Zi Jun.
[Miss Dong says she'll meet you
in the lobby instead.]
I won't be going up. Thanks.
You can do this. Show them what you've got.
Such elegance. You must be Miss Dong.
Nice to meet you. I'm Zhang Zi Jun
from Seagull Travel Agency.
- Zi Jun is fine.
- Sure, Zi Jun.
- Sit down.
- Thank you.
- Enjoy.
- Thank you.
Are we waiting for more people?
I wasn't sure what you'd like,
so I ordered everything for you.
But I prefer... your cup.
May I?
My pleasure.
She's sending a signal!
[French Client]
Hello. Yes, speaking.
Little white rabbit, white and bright.
Two ears, straight upright.
Loves to eat...
carrots and cabbage day and night.
Hopping around in pure delight.
Goodbye.
- Sorry, it was a client.
- No worries. Your French is beautiful.
The grammar was also perfect.
You must've studied there. Which region?
The... Northeastern region of France.
Very refined.
I believe Sabrina has briefed you.
Yes, your company hopes to reward top
employees in the region with a trip here.
120 rooms for 7 days, yes?
It has to be a five star hotel, no less.
My dad often says
we need to make people feel blessed.
These are the best five star hotels
in Hong Kong-Macau.
See? Impressive, huh?
Good lord.
This is a public area!
Why are you stretching your leg?
[Mark, Dong Electronics]
You're obstructing people's path!
Are you blind?
Body shaming? Are you
saying my eyes are small?
Enough with your fragile heart.
Do you know who you're talking to?
She's the daughter of your boss.
[Mark, Dong Electronics]
Oh no, what do we do?
Wait a minute.
"What? Daughter of the
boss? Never seen her."
The fortune teller told me
that my workplace has many backstabbers.
I thought that was all metaphysics.
Turns out it was physics itself.
What are you doing?
Practicing yoga? Roadblock pose?
Don't your employee...
"Doesn't your employee recognize you?"
Shit, the cat's out of the bag.
Switch to Plan B immediately.
Plan B? What's that?
- Oh, the earthquake alert.
- No, that's Plan D.
I want an apology! Now! To my cactus!
Is she fleeing?
You're running away?
Watch your tone.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the Oscar winner is Xiao Hui, Dong!
My dad always says to stay calm
for five seconds before blowing up.
I've calmed down now.
You can apologize.
- Me? Apologize to you?
- Firstly, you accused me of stretching my leg.
We can check the surveillance camera.
That's a Segway!
Secondly, you were riding on
the pedestrian path with a cactus.
You should review traffic rules.
You're fully liable.
What the heck?
Thirdly...
- This is too much!
- This is too much!
Hey! Miss Dong!
- I didn't cause that.
- It was your cactus!
Apologize! Now!
Do you know what this company is named?
You're new here, aren't you?
[Dong Yi Kui, Dong Electronics]
Miss, you're the chairman's daughter?
I'm so sorry, I just joined the company.
Is your head all right?
My head injury is nothing,
but I heard you criticize the company.
That's more concerning.
Dong Electronics won't tolerate
such groundless accusations!
- My mom went to the fortune teller...
- Enough.
The company will process
your N+1 severance accordingly.
I-I'm laid off again?
Your pass.
This Segway belongs to the company.
I'll submit my resume again.
- Is your head all right?
- I'm fine.
My family doctor will take a look later.
I worried too much,
but what about your leg?
May I?
Of course.
How do you feel?
It's the other leg.
Oh, just being thorough.
I was just kidding, but
you're quite a caring guy.
In fact, I'm quite an athletic guy.
I've picked the hotel.
Let's go with Jin Hai Hotel.
I'm well-acquainted with Jin Hai's sales manager,
and I can get an exclusive price for you.
That'll be great.
Sabrina, get me ticket to Marseilles.
Can I borrow your phone
to check flight timings?
Certainly.
Time for you to take the stage.
Can't eat poor, dress poor,
but no brains means poverty!
Today, we're in Haizhu looking for work!
Miss Thrifty will soon become Miss Fortune!
I need the washroom.
Look around...
- Astounding.
- Thanks.
Wipe the blood.

You don't love me...
- Don't say it out loud...
- You're highly educated. Don't be like this!

- That's way too intense!
- I'm busy!

[Number]
[Mr. Spit]
Hey.
Can I get your number? I'm a talent scout.
- No.
- All right.
- Sorry for that.
- Who was that lady?
She has a crush on me
and just can't move on.
Can I have my phone back?
Jun Jun!
If you love me, don't leave.
If you say you don't love me...
I don't want to...
- Oh, here's your phone.
- I'll contact Jin Hai's sales rep right away.
Hang on.
[Mr. Spit]
[Douchebag]
[I'm on vacation. I'll get my
colleague, Alex, to contact you.]
The sales rep is on vacation,
but his colleague, Alex, will contact me.
I'll contact you once I have news.
Xiao Kui is fine.
Can I contact you outside
of work hours, Xiao Kui?
You can try.
Sure.
Hey, get in the car.
It's not that bad.
Here, for you.
I'll wait inside.
[Get Lucky]
What? This is company property, yeah?
Wanna go for a spin on it?
Nah.
[Log]
[This month's expenses]
[Mom]
- Hello.
- Lang Lang, do you have enough to spend?
Yeah.
If things get tough,
come back and apologize to your superior.
- Head back to work.
- It wasn't our daughter's fault.
What's wrong with some humility?
You've spoiled her!
If she listened to me,
she wouldn't have left only to be scammed!
You dad drank too much.
I get it, I can handle things. Don't worry.
Wanna have supper? We can go Dutch.
I have coupons, you use cash.
Why do you sleep in your car?
So, it's easier to run.
Why are you scamming people?
Have you never thought of switching jobs?
- I considered being a teacher.
- That's great!
I'm planning to adapt to this Internet age,
and turn my experience into an online course.
And I can sell the courses in bulk.
Sounds terrible!
Can't you do something legal?
After spending time with you,
I think there's still hope for you.
You have really bad
judgment, that's for sure.
No wonder that scumbag targeted you.
I was just kidding.
Before I met Zhang Zi Jun, I reported my
superior for sexual harassment and lost my job.
[Retrenchment Notice]
Back then, my relatives
said I was too rash.
To get away from all the talk,
I came here to find a job.
In this unfamiliar place without friends,
I felt so helpless.
That was when Zhang Zi Jun appeared.
He said he understood me
and what I was going through.
So, I fell for it.
And fell in love.
Now, I know all that support and concern was fake.
[Hong Kong-Macau Strategy, 1. Find a good job...]
But I really needed someone
to offer a helping hand then.
When I was scammed, I
shared my experience online.
And that's how a scumbag
scammed me of 200,000.
I hope other girls
who meet similar situations be very alert.
Don't let scammers take advantage of you.
I meant it as a warning for others.
[Serves you right, Ms. Negative!]
I didn't expect...
[You for real? How can
someone be so stupid?]
Everyone mocked me. [You're
just flaunting how you have 200,000]
[Dad: Delete your video. It's a disgrace.]
[Delete video?]
[Video unavailable]
After I was scammed,
I always thought it wasn't my fault.
[Debt Repayment Plan]
Zhang Zi Jun was to blame.
Right now, I really think this entire mess
was my problem.
It was my fault.
It's not your fault.
I don't trust you.
You're a conman.
You were just unlucky and met a bad guy.
That's all.
You have such a flashy car, but you
drive slower than a grandma on a stroll.
I don't like to speed.
I get dizzy if I speed.
What are you doing? Don't press that!
Look at this car!
I'm serious, don't mess with the buttons.
The convertible's top is busted.
No, it isn't.
It's raining.
See? I told you it isn't working,
so don't mess with it!
What is this?
Where's my raincoat?
Couldn't you have bought
two normal raincoats?
This is cheaper.
Grandma, why can that kid drive?
Cai Cai has landed!
Right in time for
the Sahara's once-in-a-decade storm!
Awesome!
[5 Days Left]
You can claim insurance for your
busted back light. I'll get you a discount.
Leave it. That light has
been out for a long time.
Done!
[MOP: 650,000 yuan]
650,000?
Where did the extra 50,000 come from?
The contract states room fees
must be wired to the hotel's account.
But if he pays in cash,
we'll cut the 50,000.
But how do we make him agree to pay cash?
It's time to bring in my professional.
Where is he?
Don't worry, he's never late.
This is the guy, Bai Shi Tong.
How did he get here?
Long time no see, but where's my greeting?
I'm an adult now, let's skip that.
Hang on.
Don't laugh.
Come on, show your affection.
Just like when you were younger.
Nice to meet you. Here, pick one.
He can lie and steal. A total all-rounder.
No boundaries, huh? Even targeting kids?
- Their gaze is really loving, huh.
- I can skip reading it. The plan is perfect.
I nurtured this guy.
Is he your disciple?
Nah, it's more complex.
What's that for? He's my uncle!
Don't worry.
- Say, "Uncle!"
- Thanks, Uncle.
Nice to meet you both.
Bye, Uncle!
[Jin Hai Hotel]
Mr. Zhang, I'll head right over.
Here is the contract.
Apologies, my skin has
been dry since Frank left.
650,000? I've worked with your hotel
many times, but this price is too high.
How about 550,000?
[Alex, Sales]
This is the best I can offer.
If it's still too costly, I'll have to
apologize on behalf of the hotel.
580,000 is my final offer.
It's fine, I'll convince my client
to switch hotels.
Sure. See you.
I've picked the hotel.
Let's go with Jin Hai Hotel.
But this is our first time working
together, so I want to make things work.
I can speak with Cindy, my superior,
about the price.
But she's a tough nut to crack.
- Thank you so much.
- I'll do my best.
Hello, it's me. I'm calling about...
If you suddenly sneeze,
it's because I miss you.
If your ringing phone
wakes you up at night...
I often wonder if your
words hint at something...
I really want to trust
you, but I have doubts.
I wonder if I'm really your one and only.
Love is me pestering you all day.
Oh baby, I want to hear
more sweet nothings.
If you miss me, spare me more glances.
Express yourself so I can be sure.
Oh bye, say no more.
Your uncle is about to be a K-pop star.
More time so I am satisfied loving you.
Got it.
It looked like an intense discussion.
She said 640,000 is the lowest we can go.
But if you're willing to pay in cash,
we can accept 600,000.
- What's with him?
- Fish has been baited.
Impressive.
Zhang Zi Jun is calling.
The chairman's daughter is a busy lady.
Come with me for a good feast.
[Dragon-Phoenix Restaurant]
We're crashing a wedding?
[Wedding of Li Bo Hua and Wan Fei Fei]
- Of course.
- But they're already an elderly couple.
Exactly, so they need the blessings.
Hello, we're relatives
of Ms. Wan Fei Fei, the bride.
Relatives? Are you also from Africa?
You are...
Family!
Ouyang is my relative from Congo.
Quispe is his grandfather!
We used to dance together!
Yes, they look really alike.
Especially his nose.
Oh, my nose is like Quispe's.
What are you noting down?
His acting. He's so good.
[Ouyang's Acting: 1. Brainwash yourself!
2. Be at ease! 3. Be multilingual!]
This is ridiculous.
Family, family, family!
What's the market rate
of recycled cans these days?
Why is he cheating someone for just a meal?
Does he really enjoy being a conman?
I may be a conman, but
Ouyang's fallen pretty far.
He even offered gift money.
[1,000 yuan]
As his uncle, I want
him to have a proper job.
He's very smart
and can probably survive in any job.
Stop staring. I'll return it
once the celebration is over.
Maybe there's an explanation for this.
Ouyang's an illegitimate child.
My elder sister passed away having him.
My mother and I brought him up.
Dad's here for you.
Ouyang's half-brother had
a serious blood disease.
His father duped him to
get a blood marrow test.
In the end, it wasn't a match.
That was the second time he was abandoned.
After that, his brother
found a compatible donor.
But his father didn't want
Ouyang to pester him,
so he moved homes.
[No recipient found]
So, he's like this
entirely due to... genetics.
What the heck?
This is clearly due to trauma.
Even family, the closest
ones to him, lied to him.
But he met that guy once.
What're you doing?
Sorry, my son just got his license.
Should let insurance handle this
or settle it privately?
But that guy didn't recognize Ouyang.
This can be fixed quickly.
So, that's why he refuses
to fix the broken light.
Deep down, he's still that hurt child.
He's so pitiful.
I think you're worse off, 201314.
[Dragon-Phoenix Restaurant]
Let's call Zhang Zi Jun right now
and get him to pay up the hotel bill
ahead of time.
Xiao Kui, success depends entirely on you.
[Hair Tie Douchebag]
Yes, Xiao Kui?
[The Oscars]
Sorry, I was at a business party
and couldn't pick up.
Gosh, you must be
tired if work ends so late.
I can't deny that, and
I'm just pushing myself.
I also want to have
someone who cares for me.
You can call my anytime
for a chat or a stroll.
Maybe I want something more.
Like shredded chicken.
Shredded chicken?
Are you hungry after the party?
Didn't they have any food?
Not at all.
I just want you...
to give me a massage...
for my shredded muscles.
M-My pleasure.
Do you want me to fly
to Marseilles right away?
I was just joking,
but how's it going with the hotel booking?
All done. Transfer the
money to me when you can.
The company's busy, so
finance needs some time.
Can you cover the cost first?
Apologies, our company doesn't permit that.
When finance is available,
you can contact me.
It's no rush.
We have time.
But I'm worried that the
hotel will be booked out.
Don't worry, they should
have sufficient rooms.
How about I pay a deposit of 200,000
with my allowance?
That works.
It's settled then.
Sure, rest early.
Goodnight.
Where will we get 200,000?
I can probably get a loan of 200,000
at your insurance company with my car.
But we'll only get 400,000 from that guy.
Gosh, can't believe I just said "only".
I've become corrupt.
It looks like we're giving him 200,000,
but it's still ours.
Have you heard about promissory notes?
[Qi Ming Insurance]
[Transfer Completed]
Transfer the mortgaged 200,000
to my account first.
Then, I'll head to
Haizhu Peninsula Financial Center.
I'd like a promissory
note for Mr. Zhang Zi Jun.
- Mr. Zhang Zi Jun?
- Yes.
I'll send proof of the promissory note to
Xiao Hui, and she can forward it to Zhang.
I'll bring the promissory note
back with me tomorrow.
When are you arriving? I'll pick you up.
That won't be necessary, Mr. Zhang.
[Arrival]
This is for you.
I'm allergic to something,
either the flowers or stingy men.
I forgot to bring the promissory note
in my rush to leave.
I'll get Sabrina to
bring it to you tomorrow.
But I'm meeting the hotel staff
for payment tonight.
Can you cover for me first?
My father has been probing about this.
If this is foiled, he'll be very mad.
Sure, I can do that.
Thank you.
What's this sunflower?
People say a lady's hair tie
is a man's ring, so I...
Too childish, huh.
I'm busy. Bye.
Will he fall for that?
Of course not, and he'll call the bank.
What is the promissory
note's serial number?
There is a promissory note
for Zhang Zi Jun under Haizhu Bank.
Understood, thanks.
After that, we'll get the bank
to cancel the promissory note.
Oh, poor Jun Jun.
Cai Cai is going to ride a camel! Love you!
[3 Days Left]
Welcome to Jin Hai Hotel's executive suite.
The lights here are audio enabled.
How much does this cost?
It's Mr. Spit's return gift for us.
I haven't slept on a bed in ages.
You don't have to sleep in your car
if you quit being a scammer.
Once my uncle gets the money,
let's meet at Iron Tower Restaurant.
I'll treat you to something expensive.
Do you know how to pick locks?
Up ahead.
Welcome to Love Bridge,
Hong Kong-Macau's landmark.
May you and your loved one
lock your hearts as one forever.
It should be around this spot.
Found it, over here.
[Zhang Zi Jun]
Flip it around.
[Hai Ou]
[Zhang Zi Jun, Qing Lang]
Mine's over here!
It snapped. My uncle
didn't teach me this skill.
Forget it.
We'll end up spoiling other locks.
Let's leave it and get going.
Come on.
We can wipe it.
You can start afresh.
Hey, it works.
You can start afresh too.
100, for eternal bliss.
We aren't...
Yeah, we aren't.
Oh, got it.
Here, a secret love locket.
Your partners won't be able to tell.
No thanks.
Excuse me.
A camel kicked me in the mouth.
Now, when I talk, saliva sprays out.
I'm heading back!
I need to find my uncle right away.
We'll be waiting to celebrate with you.
[1 Day Left]
You're here. Come, have a seat.
Thank you.
Here, try the cookies sold by the company.
I'll pass. The contract's
edited for 600,000.
I think it needs more changes.
I'll only pay a deposit of 200,000 first.
The remaining sum will be paid
when the client pays.
200,000 should be
enough to secure the rooms.
It'll be 640,000 if you're
paying by installments.
The offer of 600,000 only stands
if you pay the full amount in cash today.
A real jerk, that guy.
He says he can wait
for Frank to return first.
So, I had to agree.
This wolf's too calculating.
He only pays what he has.
Earning 200,000 is a
few days is pretty okay.
100,000 each, and we scram.
What about those two in the hotel?
What? I don't know them.
Anyway, I only had our shares in mind
from the start.
The wolf and lamb are
both prey for the hunter.
Are you sure we're calling it quits now?
Didn't you teach me to retreat
once we get the money?
Actually, you have other choices available.
It's really pitiful for
someone to be duped twice.
One more word and I'm cutting your share.
Reservation for four by Mr. Ouyang.
Will they arrive soon?
I think so.
[Naive Lamb]
Hello, the number you have dialed
is currently unavailable...
Maybe they're driving.
Shall I change the ice for the oysters?
Let's eat.
This is good stuff, yeah?
It's delicious.
Tastes amazing.
Can't eat poor, dress poor,
but no brains means poverty!
Hello, it's brainless Qing Lang.
Do you still remember my ex-boyfriend
who cheated me of money?
I hired a conman to get revenge on him.
Guess what happened.
I drive slowly, so I just arrived.
You planned on scamming
me all along, didn't you?
Why ask when you know the answer?
I really trusted you.
Let's hear your story.
It's not your fault.
We can wipe it.
You can start afresh.
I'm a scammer.
You know you can't trust me.
But why did you come back?
[Get Lucky]
Planning routes to Jin Hai Hotel.
You are speeding. Please drive safely.
I have a new plan.
We can split the money like we agreed.
Sure.
But this time, the money
has to be in my hands.
Uncle, the plan goes on.
Cai Cai is back with gifts for everyone.
Sand from the Sahara!
[0 Days Left]
Xiao Hui, call Zhang Zi Jun later.
Tell him the secretary has delivered the
promissory note to you, so you want to meet him.
What if he asks for the note right away?
He won't, that's because something shinier
has his attention.
Yes, and that's something
coded in men's DNA.
I don't plan on sacrificing that much.
That's right, we'll get
him to invest in a car.
- Cui Cui.
- More scams?
It's my job, you know.
[Dear Ms. Dong: You are invited to the Hong
Kong-Macau International Automobile...]
Jun Jun, I'm attending an event today.
Do you have time?
I can get an extra invitation for you.
We've been dealing with Zhang Zi Jun
for some time.
We need 400,000 as bait
if we want to scam him of that much.
We already have Zhang Zi Jun's 200,000.
[200,000 yuan]
What about the remaining sum?
[Promissory Note]
As promised, the money is in your hands.
The promissory note can't
be processed remotely.
The authorization letter is inside, so
cancel it at Haizhu and get the money back.
This last gamble depends on you.
Hey, don't play games with me.
Xiao Kui!
You're here.
I didn't expect you to
be interested in cars.
Finding an attractive car
is like meeting an attractive man.
What do you mean?
My heart races and my spirit soars.
My father is a huge enthusiast.
A parking spot at home emptied up lately,
so I'm here to look around for him.
Unfortunately, he'll never like such cars.
Meet my friend, a pro racer who has
helped me procure many great vehicles.
He just signed with a super car club here.
Mario!
Kui, it's been so long.
- How are you?
- How have you been?
Kui, I've been feeling so
bad without you around.
Oh, stop it.
This is Jun Jun, someone new I met
who works at a travel agency.
Oh, I found the car you
wanted. Wanna take a look?
Sure! Can he join us?
Oh, he isn't just an ordinary friend.
Depends on who you're comparing with.
Kui, I was very moved by the story
behind this car.
I finally found it.
This car was my grandmother's final gift
to my father.
Several years ago, it was stolen.
My 70-year-old father sobbed like a baby.
I spent a lot of time
looking for it, but failed.
Hey! What's wrong, Xiao Kui?
Sorry, I lost my composure.
My memories are flooding back.
I understand.
Finally, we've reunited.
The deposit of 1 million has been
transferred, with just the last 800,000 left.
No problem,
I'll transfer the money to you on Monday.
What? Kui, didn't you read my message?
The owner needs cash,
and the deadline's today.
Once today passes, he'll
sell it to someone else.
Oh my gosh, I've been so busy
with the hotel booking.
I only have my allowance for this month,
but I'm still short of half the amount.
But didn't you want to surprise your father
with it at his birthday banquet?
Someone else wants to do the same,
and they're offering double.
- Is it my fifth sister?
- Nope.
I knew my third brother was the worst.
Son of a bitch.
Don't you share the same mother?
- Yeah, why?
- It's nothing.
I'll have to sell shares,
but the market's closed today.
I can cover the cost for you,
but who am I to do that?
You already have a new fancy.
- Hey.
- Jun Jun, can you lend me 400,000 for this car?
When the market opens on Monday,
I'll pay you back first thing.
My father's health isn't great.
Who knows who'll be
the true owner of this car?
He will hesitate briefly
and then state his request.
I can try to get you
the money, but I have...
A tiny request.
As a businessman, I've
always admired Mr. Dong.
- He'll want to attend the banquet.
- Can I attend the banquet?
The ultimate goal of such leeches
is marrying into wealth.
Of course, my father loves chatting
with younger people.
Especially entrepreneurs like himself.
Alright, but is this old
car still working fine?
I think we should take it on a drive.
You're always so thorough.
Mario, take him for a spin.
I can't do it.
All the best.
[Car Rental Manual]
- Get off.
- Wait, that was too quick.
It ended before we even got started.
I want to feel Ferrari's launch control.
That isn't necessary,
and this isn't our car.
I might just be the
owner of this car in time.
Come on, let's get going.
- Fine.
- Floor it.
[Speed, km/h]
Faster! Come on!
Even faster!
[Speed, km/h]
Hell yeah! Keep it going!
Full speed ahead!
[Speed, km/h]
Speed away!
Tortoise! Tortoise!
Tortoise!
Ferrari's the best!
Luxury cars for luxury homes.
Please cancel this promissory note.
Understood.
Hello, darling.
I have a great project at hand,
but I'll need to borrow 400,000.
Jun Jun, you just need to focus
on Hai Ou Travel Agency.
Just trust me once. Kisses!
I've been tight on cash lately.
Jun Jun, please be understanding.
Okay, I'll think of something else.
I'm struggling to get the money.
But I can get other gifts for Mr. Dong.
That won't necessary.
I'll send the promissory note
over to the hotel's front desk tonight.
Xiao Kui.
He's still hesitating, so
let's pick up Qing Lang.
- Hello, who is it?
- Jun Jun, I'm back from my vacation!
Frank? Didn't I save your number?
I have souvenirs from the Sahara,
so come pick them up when you can.
Thanks, but your subordinate called Alex
isn't so considerate.
- Alex? Who's that?
- Your colleague.
You texted me to contact
him. Don't you remember?
No, I didn't text you.
And I don't know anyone called Alex.
Sorry for the wait, Mr. Zhang.
The promissory note for Zhang Zi Jun
has been cancelled.
What? Can you check again?
Coming!
It's been so long since we met.
This place is still the same.
The memories are flooding back.
Oh, Monica. I know this girl.
I often watch your videos.
Why are you here?
Weren't you the ones who approached me?
What do you mean?
Stop pretending, the cat's out of the bag.
Not bad, you've grown enough
to get a conman to scam me.
If you hadn't scammed me first,
I wouldn't be doing this.
I didn't think the hurt I caused
would make you stoop so low.
Yes, I deceived you.
But I had my reasons.
A handsome fool like me without a
good background has to leech off others.
And I... happen to be perfect for it.
I'm sorry.
It's too late for
apologies. I don't need it.
- You can leave.
- Why can't you get it?
I could've reported you to the police,
but I didn't.
That's because you're involved.
I can help you.
I won't trust you again.
You won't trust me, but
you'll trust that conman?
He won't give you a share of the money!
He'll run off with the money!
Do you still trust him?
I won't trust him ever again.
Didn't you cheat me of 200,000?
What? Didn't you get a cent?
Seems like you didn't.
You don't trust him fully, do you?
How about we work together
and get the money back?
What's your plan?
[Hair Tie Douchebag]
- Hello?
- Hello, Kui. I have the 400,000.
Once you have the money,
let's sign the contract with Mario.
Oh, send me the address.
I plan to offer them my share of 400,000
and feign ignorance.
After that, let's try to get the full sum.
After we get 800,000,
I'll only take my share.
The rest is yours.
I only hope you can return
to leading an ordinary life.
Let this money be my gift to you.
It's the only thing I can do for you.
Qing Qing.
Give me a hug.
Here's my share.
Nice tower there.
Just passing the time.
I thought about it, and I have to help out.
You're the best, Jun Jun.
- Here's all 800,000 for you.
- And here's the contract.
Aren't you going to count it?
I trust Kui.
Same here.
I'm a real lucky girl.
Oh, I'm just curious.
As a racer, have you ever flipped your car?
I'm experienced and skilled.
In this industry,
complacency won't do you any good.
It'll be too late for regrets
when you get into an accident.
You may...
lose your life and wealth.
Oh?
It collapsed.
Have fun building that. I'll get going.
I have a ticket for a show.
It'll start soon.
Is this show any good?
Spectacular.
Enjoy.
Kui.
Bye.
return to leading an ordinary life.
Fabulous.
Zhang Zi Jun!
What's the matter?
Is it locked?
You should see your expression right now.
You're really a huge idiot.
How can you still trust me?
Trust you...
Like hell.
He'll definitely invest in this car.
It's risky.
[Risk Prevention]
We're tight on time,
and there aren't any juicy prey left.
Yes, there is.
Me.
He's too cautious to pay up so easily.
But if we let him think he caught us
red-handed, he'll try to get back at us.
And when it comes to me...
He gets very confident.
I also want to discuss
everyone's share of the money.
Hey, Frank. I just ran into Zhang Zi Jun.
He says he needs to talk to you,
but he can't get through to your phone.
Hello, who is it?
Frank? Didn't I save your number?
Alex? Who's that?
- Your colleague.
- You texted me to contact him.
Don't you remember?
Sir, your laces are undone.
Thanks.
You should look at your
expression right now.
Hang on...
[I.O.U: I owe my darling Qing Lang
a wonderful future. Zhang Zi Jun]
You can have all the cans
I collected this months.
This show was really
spectacular, wasn't it?
Bastards, I can sue you all!
It's a gift, remember?
Let this money be my gift to you.
It's the only thing I can do for you.
A lady's hair tie is a man's ring, huh?
You sure have quite a ring collection.
Darling, I have many rings,
but I only have one ring finger.
God, you're such a sleazeball.
The company's lawyers
will be speaking to you.
I hope you're ready to
lose every last penny.
I'll make you pay, big time.
Please, you don't have to go so far.
Get lost.
How foul.
It was my poor judgment.
These are all old tricks of his.
When I first met him, I
had just been retrenched.
When I first met him, I had just gotten a
divorce after my husband cheated on me.
Every said I was the problem.
Back then, I also thought
I wasn't good enough.
And then he approached you.
And took advantage of
your vulnerability to say...
- Darling...
- I understand what you're going through.
Here's 600,00, including the 200,000.
This should be everything he embezzled.
He only took 400,000.
The remaining 200,000 must be yours.
It's now back in the right hands.
I can't believe it, I misjudged you.
A conman is refusing money?
Hell no.
Flight tickets to the Sahara, food and
gas money, and the cash gift for Mrs. Wan.
Even the pork chop buns and lemon tea
will all be on her tab.
What about you?
Me? I've broadened my acting range.
Totally worth it.
What about you? Do you
find this job worthwhile?
Well...
No losses made.
We succeeded!
Success!
What about your stock of fake blood?
I'll save them for the next film set.
Some bring money to
productions, I bring blood.
You know what?
It's something if criminals think
they aren't problematic,
but it's even more ridiculous
if kind people blame themselves.
Live more confidently.
She's totally unlike you.
If you're afraid of
getting hurt, take it easy.
I'm off.
Bye!
All the best, best actress!
Gotcha!
I'll get going, too.
Hang on.
Where's your farewell greeting?
Not planning to hang off a truck today?
A stroll is nice sometimes.
We're here.
Thanks.
I left something in your sun visor.
You can start afresh.
You can start afresh, too.
Hey!
Do you still want to get rid of that lock?
Nah!
It was pretty expensive.
Maybe I'll write something else on it
in the future.
My name, perhaps?
You're so narcissistic.
You have too many names to fit on it.
Huang Xin Hua.
- What?
- My real name is Huang Xin Hua.
It's the name my mother wanted me to have.
It's a great name.
Take care, Huang Xin Hua.
Take care, Lin Qing Lang.
[Hong Kong-Macau Police Station]
You've thought it through?
It might not be the most comfortable,
but they have beds there.
Let's go, I'll drive you there.
Can't eat poor, dress poor,
but negativity means poverty!
Hello, I'm Qing Lang!
Wishing you happiness today!
All that contest reposts
finally got my V.I.P concert tickets!
Hong Kong and Macau! Are you ready?
Are you feeling good?
Next up, we have everyone's
favorite segment! Song requests!
Oh! There's a beautiful lady
in pink and long hair!
Hello, Richie! I'm Qing Lang!
- Hello.
Is this your first time at my concert?
Yes, but this isn't my
first time meeting you!
Once, I saw you through binoculars.
What? Are you a stalker?
- No, no!
- Just kidding!
I-I want to pick a song for myself.
I want to tell myself
that winter has passed, and spring...
Spring will make the flowers bloom for you!
Enjoy "Flowers Bloom in Spring"!
Will you be okay on your first drive?
[I'll do fine]
[Your loan has been fully paid...]
[Xiao Hui]
Hey, I have an audition next week
for a character with lines.
Can you come with me?
Sure, but you'll have to practice well.
Don't worry about that.
Welcome on board Hong
Kong-Macau taxi services.
Please fasten your seat belt.
Do I really need to do that
when you're the one driving?
[Taxi Driver's License, Huang Xin Hua]
People change.
Want to listen to some music?
What do you have on here?
[TAXI]
[Honey Money Phony]
It's great to pick up
money-saving tips from me.
But can't you rear your own chicken?
Must you bother my dear Monica?
Hey, Monica. Why are you so cute?
- Hey, come here!
- What's wrong?
Monica's laying eggs!
Why the fuss? She does that every day.
But this isn't the same,
because she laid two...
Easter eggs?
With car accidents,
many films exaggerate this scene.
Once, I saw a car hit a blind girl
when she was crossing the road.
Her helplessness, panic, and confusion...
That was the real deal.
Sorry, I'm late.
D-Do you believe in miracles?
Dear fans, check out
this quality and elasticity!
Doesn't hurt your wrist or leave marks!
One hair tie and any
accessory for just 13.14!
Perfect for romantic
guys, and even I use them!
After all, a lady's
hair tie is a man's ring.
I shared my experience
of being deceived by a girl.
You have to fight back
against scammers bravely.
The law shouldn't yield to crime.
- Hey!
- Hi!
- It's been so long!
- Hey there.
You can make calls in there?
They're very civil here,
and I've been behaving well.
You're doing great!
Not bad, Xiao Hui!
Congrats on getting the
role! You look gorgeous!
I have to show you!
I have lines this time!
Several! A living role!
You're one step closer to an Oscar!
The countdown is starting!
Five, four, three, two, one!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
[Happy New Year]
[Do you even have a freaking conscience!]
This is my 527th day
working in Hong Kong-Macau.
It's also the 242nd day since my
ex-boyfriend duped me of 200,000 yuan.
People say moving on
from a heart-wrenching relationship
involves the stages of withdrawal,
loneliness, and resignation.
But none of that is worse
than my current state...
Bank loan repayment.
[Miss Thrifty's Frugal Life]
Yes, I took a loan for the 200,000 yuan.
In order to pay the loan, I took on
multiple part-time jobs after work.
I've worked as a waitress
and handed out flyers.
Sir, take one!
I've also walked dogs.
Sorry.
I even became a content creator.
I look like I'm sharing
smart money-saving tips.
But I'm just trying to be
funny so people cash in.
Miss Thrifty's Frugal Life!
Can't eat poor, dress poor,
but no brains means poverty!
Hey, I'm Miss Thrifty, Qing Lang!
The prices of eggs at the supermarket
are icky lately.
So, I have a new tip...
This guy!
[Pet: Monica]
It's not that I can't afford eggs.
[Egg Provider]
But raising a chicken
is more cost efficient!
[Save 2.00 yuan on eggs!]
So, I spend my days brainstorming,
trying different styles, and writing skits.
Join us!
And you'll be beautiful!
But the rewards I do get
aren't even enough to pay
for the site's annual membership fee.
Is this bad luck some kind of punishment,
or did I land myself in this state?
But these days of being mocked
by bank notifications...
I've had enough of it.
- Oh dear!
- She's bleeding!
[Qi Ming Insurance]
[Lin Qing Lang]
Access approved.
Another victim?
It's my first job of the week.
When will you stop?
Maybe when I've exhausted
the cartons of fake blood at home.
Accident scams in this day and age?
I'm nostalgic for the past, you know.
But I'm trying a new performance style.
Deep, really deep.
This roll of fake blood is this week's KPI.
Loan payment of 200 yuan?
- Hello?
- A Lamborghini! Time to get to work!
This is I See You's
customer service, ID 0428.
Yes?
I'm calling to inform you
about your suspended account.
What?
The platform prohibits
offline monetary transactions.
Someone has reported
you for donations requests.
The chat number in the comments
appears to be your bank account number.
They even provided transaction records.
Wait, many creators do the same!
Why are you picking on me?
We're operating according to procedure.
If you wish to restore your account,
please pay a fine of 3,000 yuan.
Please transfer the fee
to our bank account within a day.
The bank account number
has been sent to you via text message.
What if I don't pay the fine?
I'll need you to consult sales about that.
Please wait a moment.
We noticed you have objections to the fine.
According to the platform's regulations,
the platform reserves the right to delete
your account if you refuse to pay the fine.
Please enter your PIN.
[Transfer and remittance, Change password]
And the account name...
Hu Jian Lin.
[Be alert with bank transactions,
Safety against scams]
Why is it a personal account?
The company uses employee names
for auditing purposes.
[Recipient: Hu Jian Lin]
Hang on, my phone is
running our of battery.
Let me top up the amount.
How are these related, ma'am?
Check this account.
Ouyang Hui?
You picked the wrong victim! I work
at the largest insurance company here!
I'll expose your personal details
and this phone call on the internet!
I'll make sure you're ripped to shreds
and cancelled!
Goddamn scammer!
Wait, you haven't lost anything.
But I've lost 200 yuan here.
How about I offer another 500 yuan
and we settle this privately?
Hell no.
800! You can buy enough eggs for
your darn chicken to go on maternity leave.
I don't want a scammer's money!
Don't act all high and
mighty. State your price.
200,000 yuan.
You know, I can call the police.
State a more practical request.
I want...
I'm here. Where are you?
I'm in Paris.
Gotcha, I'll head over.
- Where are you?
- Headed over to Venice.
What?
You asked to meet. Are
you really keen on this?
I blinked and ended up in London.
Where the hell are you?
Why play mysterious?
Sir, can you take a photo for me?
Sure.
I even met Richie Ren,
but you're nowhere to be seen!
- Aging well, huh.
- Thanks.
I wasn't talking about you.
You recognize me? How
about a photo together?
Sure, but later. I'm busy now.
Where are you?
If you don't show up,
I'm heading to the police station.
You saw how I look.
So handsome. It'll be horrible
if I end up in jail.
- Are you skilled?
- In what sense?
Here's the thing, Ms. Pretty was cheated
of 200,000 yuan by Mr. Handsome.
Can you scam him and get the money back?
So, you want me to scam your boyfriend
for your money?
Why didn't you say so?
Let's hear your story.
Must we do this on a call?
It's called safety distancing.
Fine, I'm listening.
Back then, I had just been laid off, and
I joined a tennis club as a distraction.
That was where I met Zhang Zi Jun.
Hang on, this flashback is too rose-tinted.
Everyone's memories are filtered somehow.
Besides, I'm narrating a story.
What? And you fell for him right away?
It's an exaggeration.
I made him cooler,
so I look like I have decent taste.
Should've used my racket.
That's cool?
After that, he started wooing me.
He accompanied me through interviews
[Lin Qing Lang]
until I got a job.
My former company sued me
over a non-compete agreement.
- Eat the food while its hot.
- Thanks.
He went the extra mile to help me get
legal aid. [Appeal to Labor Department...]
We even won the case.
People say a lady's
hair tie is a man's ring.
So, I put it on.
You don't find it too mushy, right?
Hit it.
Pig butchering scam. Classic.
But it works.
Oh, but I have to say, his massage skills
are good enough to be cultural assets.
And he started asking you for money?
Nope, he wanted to break up.
A strategic retreat. Smart.
Qing Qing, let's break up.
Stupid of me to fall
for an investment scam.
I even burned my tuition fees.
All I wanted was to
give you a better future.
I can get a loan from my company
to cover your tuition fees.
That won't do! I can't take your money!
Don't we have a future together?
You're the best.
- You fell for that?
- You fell for that?
We are arriving at the next station...
Goodbye, Ms. True Love.
I despise such scammers the most.
Is there a hierarchy for con men?
Folks like me take money without
duping feelings. We're professionals.
Those who toy with feelings
without cashing in are players.
Those who steal money and feelings are...
- Douchebags!
- Douchebags!
An ordinary girl like you
is just an appetizer for him.
He'll use your money to dress himself up
and hunt for bigger fish.
[Accounting]
[Employment Fees]
Jun Jun...
Why are you here? We're no longer an item.
You can cheat me of my
feelings, but not my money.
Return the money to
me. Installments are fine.
200,000... 131,000...
Cheat? What do you mean by that?
And what's this about returning money?
You gave me the money.
Wait...
Zero, zero, zero...
Wasn't there some kind of I.O.U?
Duh, there was one.
[I.O.U: I owe my darling Qing Lang
a wonderful future. Zhang Zi Jun]
Wow, what an infatuated idiot.
What? Haven't you ever been in love?
Love isn't for the ambitious.
I tried everything to get my money back.
I can leave the past behind.
[Zhang Zi Jun, General Manager]
I just want to know why you scammed me.
Hand it over.
A lipstick voice recorder? How fancy.
201,314 is a unique number ("I love you forever").
Usually, such cases are treated as gifts.
It'll be tough getting your money back.
Sir, were you scammed, too?
Nope, I was the scammer.
Come on, get moving.
[Do you even have a freaking conscience?]
Right now, I have an even better plan.
If you get my money back,
I'll delete the recording.
He's working over there.
[Seagull Travel Agency]
Not bad, prime location.
They have several branches.
That's him! He's coming over!
You don't have to run.
That's Ms. Hai Ou, the
travel agency's boss.
She also fell for his
tricks during tennis class.
I guess he found his main dish.
Yeah, and he's the general manager now.
Gone are his tennis teacher days.
"People say a lady's
hair tie is a man's ring."
"So, I put it on.
You don't find it too mushy, right?"
That's what he said to Ms. Hai Ou.
What? Ring a bell?
He didn't even change the script!
Hang on, how do you know
what they're talking about?
Heard of lip reading?
Lip reading...
What're you doing?
[Traditional Secret Recipe,
Tripe Experts, Classic Taste]
Traditional secret recipe,
tripe experts, classic taste.
Kitty's kittens keeps Kitty busy
with keeping clean.
If you scam me, I'll send you to prison where
you'll be shoved around, roughed up, and...
Be more civil, vicious Miss Thrifty.
I accept your proposal,
so delete the recording.
That easy?
Yeah, it'll just be getting rid
of a bastard for my industry.
[Scammer Scum]
How am I a scumbag? I'm just a conman.
Look.
[Delete]
There, deleted.
- What's the plan?
- Let me think of something. I'll contact you.
Come on, I'll give you my number.
Don't I have it?
Do you think I'd use a scam number
for personal use?
But is "Ouyang Hui" your real name?
[Ouyang Hui]
What do you think?
Nice to meet you.
Qing Lang, I'll get going.
Bye.
[Trash Recycling: 10.00 yuan]
The plan is simple.
[Ouyang Hui: I have a plan!]
We pretend to be customers
and book a hotel through Zhang Zi Jun.
- Here's your iced lemon tea.
- Thanks.
After that, we pretend to be hotel staff
and make him pay the hotel bill.
We're using a hotel scam
on a travel agency staff?
Does that make sense?
We'll play in his field.
Step one, scouting the hotel.
You're going by "Ding Fei" this time?
[General Manager, Ding Fei, Philip]
What about me?
Miss, what's your name?
Cui Cui Cui.
[General Manager's
Assistant, Cui Cui Cui Frances]
This is a nice name.
My dad has an even nicer name, Badass Cui.
You even know how to do this?
Bi... Yu.
[FISH, Bi Yu Travel Agency]
Together, they make "turtle".
So, you're insulting Zhang Zi Jun
and saying he's slow-witted?
That's quite an offensive name.
This is my father's name.
Mr. Ouyang Bi Yu?
I guess your dad must
be living a long life.
We're in the lobby.
Don't speak and follow my lead.
Welcome to Jin Hai Hotel.
"Bi Yu"? That's an interesting name.
Oh, I should introduce myself.
I'm... Frank.
- Hello.
- Hey.
I'm Ding Fei.
Ding Fei?
Ding Fei...
Philip...
I prefer friends to use
my nickname, "Mm-mm".
Mm-mm?
So cute. You can use my nickname, too.
Cai Cai.
Hello.
[Cui Cui Cui]
Cui...
Cui Cui.
Cui Cui Cui
Frances Cui, a name
that spits and sprays
I really hope we can work together.
Maintenance, come over
to fix the leaking air-con.
Maintenance says,
"Leaking, no freaking way."
By the way, I got to know someone
in this industry named Zhang Zi Jun.
I know him, he often works with our hotel.
He's very generous.
Last year, he insisted on inviting me
to the North Pole.
I made a wish to the Northern Lights,
hoping I can visit the Sahara this year.
The Sahara?
I happen to have return tickets there.
No longer, the item's been discontinued.
My assistant isn't
familiar with the business.
How's your schedule?
[Broke]
I can adjust it.
- Oh.
- But if I go alone...
My girlfriend will miss me.
A couple trip? Leave it to me.
I want you to get my money back,
not funnel more money in.
I'll cover this expense first,
but you'll have to pay me back
with 1% daily interest.
And we aren't trying to get 6 yuan.
It's 600,000 yuan.
600,000 yuan? Wasn't it 200,000?
Triple compensation for the job,
and we aren't the only ones in it.
What?
Get a girl to play Zhang
Zi Jun's next victim.
Once the job's done, 300,000 is yours.
As for the remaining, we'll need a
pro fraudster to play Frank's colleague.
That'll cost 200,000.
What about the remaining 100,000?
No, hell no.
Hey, I agreed to help, but not for free.
I knew you'd be like this, so I hid my ace.
I accept your proposal,
so delete the recording.
Look.
[Delete]
There, deleted.
I predicted your tricks, so I deleted it.
[Folder empty]
I'll give you my number.
Thanks.
I saw through your tricks.
So, I have another ace.
Looks like an ordinary lipstick? Nah.
It's a recording device
with everything you said.
Oh, is that so?
Oh dear, you're looking pale.
Try using some lipstick, Frances Cui!
He scammed you and many others.
Getting a few more
dollars isn't too much to ask.
If we dupe him of 600,000,
we'll be bona fide scammers.
Either you be a scammer
or a fool. Your choice.
Trust me. Think about
the countless other victims.
Any candidates to be Zhang Zi Jun's target?
I do have someone in mind.
How could he have hit
someone driving this slow?
Don't you look before crossing the road...
Perfect timing, huh.
- She's at her usual spot.
- Sir.
I'm so sorry, but my guide dog
is having its funeral today.
I was in a hurry, it's all my fault.
- I'm so sorry.
- Is she for real?
I'll help you up.
[If Only I Had Three Days of Light]
She's Xiao Hui, and she came here
to study theater while working part-time.
But she got scammed into an illegal casino,
and owes loan sharks now.
I'm in a hurry, so goodbye.
You're bleeding!
It doesn't matter whose fault it is!
Let's get you to the hospital!
She went to the casino in arms
to get her money back,
but they raised their weapons.
That of the law.
Both parties were punished.
She loaned 100,000 from our company
to pay fines and compensation.
After that, she became a street performer.
No, I don't want to go to the hospital.
My guide dog will be cremated soon.
I have to see it off.
- I'll take you to the crematorium.
- You have a call from pet funeral services...
Phone...
Answer.
Hello?
Yes, I'm the owner of Gua Gua.
They cremated her ahead of time?
[Stanislavski's Method Acting]
But I'm not there yet! I'm on the way!
I was in a car accident!
How could you do this?
I haven't said my final farewell!
This is a small token from me. Take it.
My blindness is to blame!
Here's my phone number.
Your dog can't be revived. My condolences.
So moving.
That deserved an Oscar.
You were really into it.
Not bad, I guess. Maybe
a little exaggerated.
Accident scams are old-fashioned,
but you brought them back into fashion
with your style.
Astonishing.
- A fellow conman?
- Pleasure to meet you.
Sorry for the mess.
Do you need to visit the hospital
for the bleeding?
It's fine, that's fake blood.
Look, it's a blood pack.
Hey, it didn't burst.
No way, where else did
all this blood come from...
Such a fat paycheck,
and I can get revenge for a good friend.
What's my role?
This time, you're the wealthy daughter
in the country.
But I've never experienced such a life.
I observed your acting,
and you're great at getting into character.
Rich kids are also children,
so they'll have desires and flaws.
Is he some kind of acting coach?
Zhang Zi Jun must see you
as a feeble and helpless lamb.
He loves scamming women.
So, we need to flirt with this wolf
and lure him into our trap.
Wolves only know how to hunt,
but they don't expect a lamb to trick them.
Let's go wolf hunting.
Cai Cai is setting off!
[6 Days Left]
[Hong Kong-Macau, Haizhu Port]
Why are we heading to Haizhu Peninsula?
We're rich kids, so he
should be coming to us.
[Dong Electronics]
I emailed Zhang Zi Jun as a secretary
from Dong Electronics.
I told him that Miss Dong Yi Kui, the
chairman's daughter, wants him to plan a trip.
[Chairman's Secretary, Sabrina]
[Sent]
I bet he'll search the web for info,
and our plan will be busted.
Mr. Dong is quite a player
in romance and business.
Plus, he's very private.
So, we just need to leave
enough room for imagination.
Dong...
[I planted countless sunflowers in my
backyard. They remind me of my childhood...]
Yi Kui... ("Kui" for sunflower)
When we meet Zhang Zi Jun,
we must do more than make him fall for Miss
Dong. [Thank you. I'll arrange a time to visit.]
We have to get his phone
and change Frank's number to ours.
Hello, sir.
I'm here for a meeting at Dong Electronics.
Please scan your security code.
How do we get up there?
We don't have to. Meeting
in the lobby is enough.
That's too casual.
Yeah, wealthy folks don't think too much.
[Sabrina: Hello, Mr. Zhang Zi Jun.
[Miss Dong says she'll meet you
in the lobby instead.]
I won't be going up. Thanks.
You can do this. Show them what you've got.
Such elegance. You must be Miss Dong.
Nice to meet you. I'm Zhang Zi Jun
from Seagull Travel Agency.
- Zi Jun is fine.
- Sure, Zi Jun.
- Sit down.
- Thank you.
- Enjoy.
- Thank you.
Are we waiting for more people?
I wasn't sure what you'd like,
so I ordered everything for you.
But I prefer... your cup.
May I?
My pleasure.
She's sending a signal!
[French Client]
Hello. Yes, speaking.
Little white rabbit, white and bright.
Two ears, straight upright.
Loves to eat...
carrots and cabbage day and night.
Hopping around in pure delight.
Goodbye.
- Sorry, it was a client.
- No worries. Your French is beautiful.
The grammar was also perfect.
You must've studied there. Which region?
The... Northeastern region of France.
Very refined.
I believe Sabrina has briefed you.
Yes, your company hopes to reward top
employees in the region with a trip here.
120 rooms for 7 days, yes?
It has to be a five star hotel, no less.
My dad often says
we need to make people feel blessed.
These are the best five star hotels
in Hong Kong-Macau.
See? Impressive, huh?
Good lord.
This is a public area!
Why are you stretching your leg?
[Mark, Dong Electronics]
You're obstructing people's path!
Are you blind?
Body shaming? Are you
saying my eyes are small?
Enough with your fragile heart.
Do you know who you're talking to?
She's the daughter of your boss.
[Mark, Dong Electronics]
Oh no, what do we do?
Wait a minute.
"What? Daughter of the
boss? Never seen her."
The fortune teller told me
that my workplace has many backstabbers.
I thought that was all metaphysics.
Turns out it was physics itself.
What are you doing?
Practicing yoga? Roadblock pose?
Don't your employee...
"Doesn't your employee recognize you?"
Shit, the cat's out of the bag.
Switch to Plan B immediately.
Plan B? What's that?
- Oh, the earthquake alert.
- No, that's Plan D.
I want an apology! Now! To my cactus!
Is she fleeing?
You're running away?
Watch your tone.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the Oscar winner is Xiao Hui, Dong!
My dad always says to stay calm
for five seconds before blowing up.
I've calmed down now.
You can apologize.
- Me? Apologize to you?
- Firstly, you accused me of stretching my leg.
We can check the surveillance camera.
That's a Segway!
Secondly, you were riding on
the pedestrian path with a cactus.
You should review traffic rules.
You're fully liable.
What the heck?
Thirdly...
- This is too much!
- This is too much!
Hey! Miss Dong!
- I didn't cause that.
- It was your cactus!
Apologize! Now!
Do you know what this company is named?
You're new here, aren't you?
[Dong Yi Kui, Dong Electronics]
Miss, you're the chairman's daughter?
I'm so sorry, I just joined the company.
Is your head all right?
My head injury is nothing,
but I heard you criticize the company.
That's more concerning.
Dong Electronics won't tolerate
such groundless accusations!
- My mom went to the fortune teller...
- Enough.
The company will process
your N+1 severance accordingly.
I-I'm laid off again?
Your pass.
This Segway belongs to the company.
I'll submit my resume again.
- Is your head all right?
- I'm fine.
My family doctor will take a look later.
I worried too much,
but what about your leg?
May I?
Of course.
How do you feel?
It's the other leg.
Oh, just being thorough.
I was just kidding, but
you're quite a caring guy.
In fact, I'm quite an athletic guy.
I've picked the hotel.
Let's go with Jin Hai Hotel.
I'm well-acquainted with Jin Hai's sales manager,
and I can get an exclusive price for you.
That'll be great.
Sabrina, get me ticket to Marseilles.
Can I borrow your phone
to check flight timings?
Certainly.
Time for you to take the stage.
Can't eat poor, dress poor,
but no brains means poverty!
Today, we're in Haizhu looking for work!
Miss Thrifty will soon become Miss Fortune!
I need the washroom.
Look around...
- Astounding.
- Thanks.

of work hours, Xiao Kui?
You can try.
Sure.
Hey, get in the car.
It's not that bad.
Here, for you.
I'll wait inside.
[Get Lucky]
What? This is company property, yeah?
Wanna go for a spin on it?
Nah.
[Log]
[This month's expenses]
[Mom]
- Hello.
- Lang Lang, do you have enough to spend?
Yeah.
If things get tough,
come back and apologize to your superior.
- Head back to work.
- It wasn't our daughter's fault.
What's wrong with some humility?
You've spoiled her!
If she listened to me,
she wouldn't have left only to be scammed!
You dad drank too much.
I get it, I can handle things. Don't worry.
Wanna have supper? We can go Dutch.
I have coupons, you use cash.
Why do you sleep in your car?
So, it's easier to run.
Why are you scamming people?
Have you never thought of switching jobs?
- I considered being a teacher.
- That's great!
I'm planning to adapt to this Internet age,
and turn my experience into an online course.
And I can sell the courses in bulk.
Sounds terrible!
Can't you do something legal?
After spending time with you,
I think there's still hope for you.
You have really bad
judgment, that's for sure.
No wonder that scumbag targeted you.
I was just kidding.
Before I met Zhang Zi Jun, I reported my
superior for sexual harassment and lost my job.
[Retrenchment Notice]
Back then, my relatives
said I was too rash.
To get away from all the talk,
I came here to find a job.
In this unfamiliar place without friends,
I felt so helpless.
That was when Zhang Zi Jun appeared.
He said he understood me
and what I was going through.
So, I fell for it.
And fell in love.
Now, I know all that support and concern was fake.
[Hong Kong-Macau Strategy, 1. Find a good job...]
But I really needed someone
to offer a helping hand then.
When I was scammed, I
shared my experience online.
And that's how a scumbag
scammed me of 200,000.
I hope other girls
who meet similar situations be very alert.
Don't let scammers take advantage of you.
I meant it as a warning for others.
[Serves you right, Ms. Negative!]
I didn't expect...
[You for real? How can
someone be so stupid?]
Everyone mocked me. [You're
just flaunting how you have 200,000]
[Dad: Delete your video. It's a disgrace.]
[Delete video?]
[Video unavailable]
After I was scammed,
I always thought it wasn't my fault.
[Debt Repayment Plan]
Zhang Zi Jun was to blame.
Right now, I really think this entire mess
was my problem.
It was my fault.
It's not your fault.
I don't trust you.
You're a conman.
You were just unlucky and met a bad guy.
That's all.
You have such a flashy car, but you
drive slower than a grandma on a stroll.
I don't like to speed.
I get dizzy if I speed.
What are you doing? Don't press that!
Look at this car!
I'm serious, don't mess with the buttons.
The convertible's top is busted.
No, it isn't.
It's raining.
See? I told you it isn't working,
so don't mess with it!
What is this?
Where's my raincoat?
Couldn't you have bought
two normal raincoats?
This is cheaper.
Grandma, why can that kid drive?
Cai Cai has landed!
Right in time for
the Sahara's once-in-a-decade storm!
Awesome!
[5 Days Left]
You can claim insurance for your
busted back light. I'll get you a discount.
Leave it. That light has
been out for a long time.
Done!
[MOP: 650,000 yuan]
650,000?
Where did the extra 50,000 come from?
The contract states room fees
must be wired to the hotel's account.
But if he pays in cash,
we'll cut the 50,000.
But how do we make him agree to pay cash?
It's time to bring in my professional.
Where is he?
Don't worry, he's never late.
This is the guy, Bai Shi Tong.
How did he get here?
Long time no see, but where's my greeting?
I'm an adult now, let's skip that.
Hang on.
Don't laugh.
Come on, show your affection.
Just like when you were younger.
Nice to meet you. Here, pick one.
He can lie and steal. A total all-rounder.
No boundaries, huh? Even targeting kids?
- Their gaze is really loving, huh.
- I can skip reading it. The plan is perfect.
I nurtured this guy.
Is he your disciple?
Nah, it's more complex.
What's that for? He's my uncle!
Don't worry.
- Say, "Uncle!"
- Thanks, Uncle.
Nice to meet you both.
Bye, Uncle!
[Jin Hai Hotel]
Mr. Zhang, I'll head right over.
Here is the contract.
Apologies, my skin has
been dry since Frank left.
650,000? I've worked with your hotel
many times, but this price is too high.
How about 550,000?
[Alex, Sales]
This is the best I can offer.
If it's still too costly, I'll have to
apologize on behalf of the hotel.
580,000 is my final offer.
It's fine, I'll convince my client
to switch hotels.
Sure. See you.
I've picked the hotel.
Let's go with Jin Hai Hotel.
But this is our first time working
together, so I want to make things work.
I can speak with Cindy, my superior,
about the price.
But she's a tough nut to crack.
- Thank you so much.
- I'll do my best.
Hello, it's me. I'm calling about...
If you suddenly sneeze,
it's because I miss you.
If your ringing phone
wakes you up at night...
I often wonder if your
words hint at something...
I really want to trust
you, but I have doubts.
I wonder if I'm really your one and only.
Love is me pestering you all day.
Oh baby, I want to hear
more sweet nothings.
If you miss me, spare me more glances.
Express yourself so I can be sure.
Oh bye, say no more.
Your uncle is about to be a K-pop star.
More time so I am satisfied loving you.
Got it.
It looked like an intense discussion.
She said 640,000 is the lowest we can go.
But if you're willing to pay in cash,
we can accept 600,000.
- What's with him?
- Fish has been baited.
Impressive.
Zhang Zi Jun is calling.
The chairman's daughter is a busy lady.
Come with me for a good feast.
[Dragon-Phoenix Restaurant]
We're crashing a wedding?
[Wedding of Li Bo Hua and Wan Fei Fei]
- Of course.
- But they're already an elderly couple.
Exactly, so they need the blessings.
Hello, we're relatives
of Ms. Wan Fei Fei, the bride.
Relatives? Are you also from Africa?
You are...
Family!
Ouyang is my relative from Congo.
Quispe is his grandfather!
We used to dance together!
Yes, they look really alike.
Especially his nose.
Oh, my nose is like Quispe's.
What are you noting down?
His acting. He's so good.
[Ouyang's Acting: 1. Brainwash yourself!
2. Be at ease! 3. Be multilingual!]
This is ridiculous.
Family, family, family!
What's the market rate
of recycled cans these days?
Why is he cheating someone for just a meal?
Does he really enjoy being a conman?
I may be a conman, but
Ouyang's fallen pretty far.
He even offered gift money.
[1,000 yuan]
As his uncle, I want
him to have a proper job.
He's very smart
and can probably survive in any job.
Stop staring. I'll return it
once the celebration is over.
Maybe there's an explanation for this.
Ouyang's an illegitimate child.
My elder sister passed away having him.
My mother and I brought him up.
Dad's here for you.
Ouyang's half-brother had
a serious blood disease.
His father duped him to
get a blood marrow test.
In the end, it wasn't a match.
That was the second time he was abandoned.
After that, his brother
found a compatible donor.
But his father didn't want
Ouyang to pester him,
so he moved homes.
[No recipient found]
So, he's like this
entirely due to... genetics.
What the heck?
This is clearly due to trauma.
Even family, the closest
ones to him, lied to him.
But he met that guy once.
What're you doing?
Sorry, my son just got his license.
Should let insurance handle this
or settle it privately?
But that guy didn't recognize Ouyang.
This can be fixed quickly.
So, that's why he refuses
to fix the broken light.
Deep down, he's still that hurt child.
He's so pitiful.
I think you're worse off, 201314.
[Dragon-Phoenix Restaurant]
Let's call Zhang Zi Jun right now
and get him to pay up the hotel bill
ahead of time.
Xiao Kui, success depends entirely on you.
[Hair Tie Douchebag]
Yes, Xiao Kui?
[The Oscars]
Sorry, I was at a business party
and couldn't pick up.
Gosh, you must be
tired if work ends so late.
I can't deny that, and
I'm just pushing myself.
I also want to have
someone who cares for me.
You can call my anytime
for a chat or a stroll.
Maybe I want something more.
Like shredded chicken.
Shredded chicken?
Are you hungry after the party?
Didn't they have any food?
Not at all.
I just want you...
to give me a massage...
for my shredded muscles.
M-My pleasure.
Do you want me to fly
to Marseilles right away?
I was just joking,
but how's it going with the hotel booking?
All done. Transfer the
money to me when you can.
The company's busy, so
finance needs some time.
Can you cover the cost first?
Apologies, our company doesn't permit that.
When finance is available,
you can contact me.
It's no rush.
We have time.
But I'm worried that the
hotel will be booked out.
Don't worry, they should
have sufficient rooms.
How about I pay a deposit of 200,000
with my allowance?
That works.
It's settled then.
Sure, rest early.
Goodnight.
Where will we get 200,000?
I can probably get a loan of 200,000
at your insurance company with my car.
But we'll only get 400,000 from that guy.
Gosh, can't believe I just said "only".
I've become corrupt.
It looks like we're giving him 200,000,
but it's still ours.
Have you heard about promissory notes?
[Qi Ming Insurance]
[Transfer Completed]
Transfer the mortgaged 200,000
to my account first.
Then, I'll head to
Haizhu Peninsula Financial Center.
I'd like a promissory
note for Mr. Zhang Zi Jun.
- Mr. Zhang Zi Jun?
- Yes.
I'll send proof of the promissory note to
Xiao Hui, and she can forward it to Zhang.
I'll bring the promissory note
back with me tomorrow.
When are you arriving? I'll pick you up.
That won't be necessary, Mr. Zhang.
[Arrival]
This is for you.
I'm allergic to something,
either the flowers or stingy men.
I forgot to bring the promissory note
in my rush to leave.
I'll get Sabrina to
bring it to you tomorrow.
But I'm meeting the hotel staff
for payment tonight.
Can you cover for me first?
My father has been probing about this.
If this is foiled, he'll be very mad.
Sure, I can do that.
Thank you.
What's this sunflower?
People say a lady's hair tie
is a man's ring, so I...
Too childish, huh.
I'm busy. Bye.
Will he fall for that?
Of course not, and he'll call the bank.
What is the promissory
note's serial number?
There is a promissory note
for Zhang Zi Jun under Haizhu Bank.
Understood, thanks.
After that, we'll get the bank
to cancel the promissory note.
Oh, poor Jun Jun.
Cai Cai is going to ride a camel! Love you!
[3 Days Left]
Welcome to Jin Hai Hotel's executive suite.
The lights here are audio enabled.
How much does this cost?
It's Mr. Spit's return gift for us.
I haven't slept on a bed in ages.
You don't have to sleep in your car
if you quit being a scammer.
Once my uncle gets the money,
let's meet at Iron Tower Restaurant.
I'll treat you to something expensive.
Do you know how to pick locks?
Up ahead.
Welcome to Love Bridge,
Hong Kong-Macau's landmark.
May you and your loved one
lock your hearts as one forever.
It should be around this spot.
Found it, over here.
[Zhang Zi Jun]
Flip it around.
[Hai Ou]
[Zhang Zi Jun, Qing Lang]
Mine's over here!
It snapped. My uncle
didn't teach me this skill.
Forget it.
We'll end up spoiling other locks.
Let's leave it and get going.
Come on.
We can wipe it.
You can start afresh.
Hey, it works.
You can start afresh too.
100, for eternal bliss.
We aren't...
Yeah, we aren't.
Oh, got it.
Here, a secret love locket.
Your partners won't be able to tell.
No thanks.
Excuse me.
A camel kicked me in the mouth.
Now, when I talk, saliva sprays out.
I'm heading back!
I need to find my uncle right away.
We'll be waiting to celebrate with you.
[1 Day Left]
You're here. Come, have a seat.
Thank you.
Here, try the cookies sold by the company.
I'll pass. The contract's
edited for 600,000.
I think it needs more changes.
I'll only pay a deposit of 200,000 first.
The remaining sum will be paid
when the client pays.
200,000 should be
enough to secure the rooms.
It'll be 640,000 if you're
paying by installments.
The offer of 600,000 only stands
if you pay the full amount in cash today.
A real jerk, that guy.
He says he can wait
for Frank to return first.
So, I had to agree.
This wolf's too calculating.
He only pays what he has.
Earning 200,000 is a
few days is pretty okay.
100,000 each, and we scram.
What about those two in the hotel?
What? I don't know them.
Anyway, I only had our shares in mind
from the start.
The wolf and lamb are
both prey for the hunter.
Are you sure we're calling it quits now?
Didn't you teach me to retreat
once we get the money?
Actually, you have other choices available.
It's really pitiful for
someone to be duped twice.
One more word and I'm cutting your share.
Reservation for four by Mr. Ouyang.
Will they arrive soon?
I think so.
[Naive Lamb]
Hello, the number you have dialed
is currently unavailable...
Maybe they're driving.
Shall I change the ice for the oysters?
Let's eat.
This is good stuff, yeah?
It's delicious.
Tastes amazing.
Can't eat poor, dress poor,
but no brains means poverty!
Hello, it's brainless Qing Lang.
Do you still remember my ex-boyfriend
who cheated me of money?
I hired a conman to get revenge on him.
Guess what happened.
I drive slowly, so I just arrived.
You planned on scamming
me all along, didn't you?
Why ask when you know the answer?
I really trusted you.
Let's hear your story.
It's not your fault.
We can wipe it.
You can start afresh.
I'm a scammer.
You know you can't trust me.
But why did you come back?
[Get Lucky]
Planning routes to Jin Hai Hotel.
You are speeding. Please drive safely.
I have a new plan.
We can split the money like we agreed.
Sure.
But this time, the money
has to be in my hands.
Uncle, the plan goes on.
Cai Cai is back with gifts for everyone.
Sand from the Sahara!
[0 Days Left]
Xiao Hui, call Zhang Zi Jun later.
Tell him the secretary has delivered the
promissory note to you, so you want to meet him.
What if he asks for the note right away?
He won't, that's because something shinier
has his attention.
Yes, and that's something
coded in men's DNA.
I don't plan on sacrificing that much.
That's right, we'll get
him to invest in a car.
- Cui Cui.
- More scams?
It's my job, you know.
[Dear Ms. Dong: You are invited to the Hong
Kong-Macau International Automobile...]
Jun Jun, I'm attending an event today.
Do you have time?
I can get an extra invitation for you.
We've been dealing with Zhang Zi Jun
for some time.
We need 400,000 as bait
if we want to scam him of that much.
We already have Zhang Zi Jun's 200,000.
[200,000 yuan]
What about the remaining sum?
[Promissory Note]
As promised, the money is in your hands.
The promissory note can't
be processed remotely.
The authorization letter is inside, so
cancel it at Haizhu and get the money back.
This last gamble depends on you.
Hey, don't play games with me.
Xiao Kui!
You're here.
I didn't expect you to
be interested in cars.
Finding an attractive car
is like meeting an attractive man.
What do you mean?
My heart races and my spirit soars.
My father is a huge enthusiast.
A parking spot at home emptied up lately,
so I'm here to look around for him.
Unfortunately, he'll never like such cars.
Meet my friend, a pro racer who has
helped me procure many great vehicles.
He just signed with a super car club here.
Mario!
Kui, it's been so long.
- How are you?
- How have you been?
Kui, I've been feeling so
bad without you around.
Oh, stop it.
This is Jun Jun, someone new I met
who works at a travel agency.
Oh, I found the car you
wanted. Wanna take a look?
Sure! Can he join us?
Oh, he isn't just an ordinary friend.
Depends on who you're comparing with.
Kui, I was very moved by the story
behind this car.
I finally found it.
This car was my grandmother's final gift
to my father.
Several years ago, it was stolen.
My 70-year-old father sobbed like a baby.
I spent a lot of time
looking for it, but failed.
Hey! What's wrong, Xiao Kui?
Sorry, I lost my composure.
My memories are flooding back.
I understand.
Finally, we've reunited.
The deposit of 1 million has been
transferred, with just the last 800,000 left.
No problem,
I'll transfer the money to you on Monday.
What? Kui, didn't you read my message?
The owner needs cash,
and the deadline's today.
Once today passes, he'll
sell it to someone else.
Oh my gosh, I've been so busy
with the hotel booking.
I only have my allowance for this month,
but I'm still short of half the amount.
But didn't you want to surprise your father
with it at his birthday banquet?
Someone else wants to do the same,
and they're offering double.
- Is it my fifth sister?
- Nope.
I knew my third brother was the worst.
Son of a bitch.
Don't you share the same mother?
- Yeah, why?
- It's nothing.
I'll have to sell shares,
but the market's closed today.
I can cover the cost for you,
but who am I to do that?
You already have a new fancy.
- Hey.
- Jun Jun, can you lend me 400,000 for this car?
When the market opens on Monday,
I'll pay you back first thing.
My father's health isn't great.
Who knows who'll be
the true owner of this car?
He will hesitate briefly
and then state his request.
I can try to get you
the money, but I have...
A tiny request.
As a businessman, I've
always admired Mr. Dong.
- He'll want to attend the banquet.
- Can I attend the banquet?
The ultimate goal of such leeches
is marrying into wealth.
Of course, my father loves chatting
with younger people.
Especially entrepreneurs like himself.
Alright, but is this old
car still working fine?
I think we should take it on a drive.
You're always so thorough.
Mario, take him for a spin.
I can't do it.
All the best.
[Car Rental Manual]
- Get off.
- Wait, that was too quick.
It ended before we even got started.
I want to feel Ferrari's launch control.
That isn't necessary,
and this isn't our car.
I might just be the
owner of this car in time.
Come on, let's get going.
- Fine.
- Floor it.
[Speed, km/h]
Faster! Come on!
Even faster!
[Speed, km/h]
Hell yeah! Keep it going!
Full speed ahead!
[Speed, km/h]
Speed away!
Tortoise! Tortoise!
Tortoise!
Ferrari's the best!
Luxury cars for luxury homes.
Please cancel this promissory note.
Understood.
Hello, darling.
I have a great project at hand,
but I'll need to borrow 400,000.
Jun Jun, you just need to focus
on Hai Ou Travel Agency.
Just trust me once. Kisses!
I've been tight on cash lately.
Jun Jun, please be understanding.
Okay, I'll think of something else.
I'm struggling to get the money.
But I can get other gifts for Mr. Dong.
That won't necessary.
I'll send the promissory note
over to the hotel's front desk tonight.
Xiao Kui.
He's still hesitating, so
let's pick up Qing Lang.
- Hello, who is it?
- Jun Jun, I'm back from my vacation!
Frank? Didn't I save your number?
I have souvenirs from the Sahara,
so come pick them up when you can.
Thanks, but your subordinate called Alex
isn't so considerate.
- Alex? Who's that?
- Your colleague.
You texted me to contact
him. Don't you remember?
No, I didn't text you.
And I don't know anyone called Alex.
Sorry for the wait, Mr. Zhang.
The promissory note for Zhang Zi Jun
has been cancelled.
What? Can you check again?
Coming!
It's been so long since we met.
This place is still the same.
The memories are flooding back.
Oh, Monica. I know this girl.
I often watch your videos.
Why are you here?
Weren't you the ones who approached me?
What do you mean?
Stop pretending, the cat's out of the bag.
Not bad, you've grown enough
to get a conman to scam me.
If you hadn't scammed me first,
I wouldn't be doing this.
I didn't think the hurt I caused
would make you stoop so low.
Yes, I deceived you.
But I had my reasons.
A handsome fool like me without a
good background has to leech off others.
And I... happen to be perfect for it.
I'm sorry.
It's too late for
apologies. I don't need it.
- You can leave.
- Why can't you get it?
I could've reported you to the police,
but I didn't.
That's because you're involved.
I can help you.
I won't trust you again.
You won't trust me, but
you'll trust that conman?
He won't give you a share of the money!
He'll run off with the money!
Do you still trust him?
I won't trust him ever again.
Didn't you cheat me of 200,000?
What? Didn't you get a cent?
Seems like you didn't.
You don't trust him fully, do you?
How about we work together
and get the money back?
What's your plan?
[Hair Tie Douchebag]
- Hello?
- Hello, Kui. I have the 400,000.
Once you have the money,
let's sign the contract with Mario.
Oh, send me the address.
I plan to offer them my share of 400,000
and feign ignorance.
After that, let's try to get the full sum.
After we get 800,000,
I'll only take my share.
The rest is yours.
I only hope you can return
to leading an ordinary life.
Let this money be my gift to you.
It's the only thing I can do for you.
Qing Qing.
Give me a hug.
Here's my share.
Nice tower there.
Just passing the time.
I thought about it, and I have to help out.
You're the best, Jun Jun.
- Here's all 800,000 for you.
- And here's the contract.
Aren't you going to count it?
I trust Kui.
Same here.
I'm a real lucky girl.
Oh, I'm just curious.
As a racer, have you ever flipped your car?
I'm experienced and skilled.
In this industry,
complacency won't do you any good.
It'll be too late for regrets
when you get into an accident.
You may...
lose your life and wealth.
Oh?
It collapsed.
Have fun building that. I'll get going.
I have a ticket for a show.
It'll start soon.
Is this show any good?
Spectacular.
Enjoy.
Kui.
Bye.
return to leading an ordinary life.
Fabulous.
Zhang Zi Jun!
What's the matter?
Is it locked?
You should see your expression right now.
You're really a huge idiot.
How can you still trust me?
Trust you...
Like hell.
He'll definitely invest in this car.
It's risky.
[Risk Prevention]
We're tight on time,
and there aren't any juicy prey left.
Yes, there is.
Me.
He's too cautious to pay up so easily.
But if we let him think he caught us
red-handed, he'll try to get back at us.
And when it comes to me...
He gets very confident.
I also want to discuss
everyone's share of the money.
Hey, Frank. I just ran into Zhang Zi Jun.
He says he needs to talk to you,
but he can't get through to your phone.
Hello, who is it?
Frank? Didn't I save your number?
Alex? Who's that?
- Your colleague.
- You texted me to contact him.
Don't you remember?
Sir, your laces are undone.
Thanks.
You should look at your
expression right now.
Hang on...
[I.O.U: I owe my darling Qing Lang
a wonderful future. Zhang Zi Jun]
You can have all the cans
I collected this months.
This show was really
spectacular, wasn't it?
Bastards, I can sue you all!
It's a gift, remember?
Let this money be my gift to you.
It's the only thing I can do for you.
A lady's hair tie is a man's ring, huh?
You sure have quite a ring collection.
Darling, I have many rings,
but I only have one ring finger.
God, you're such a sleazeball.
The company's lawyers
will be speaking to you.
I hope you're ready to
lose every last penny.
I'll make you pay, big time.
Please, you don't have to go so far.
Get lost.
How foul.
It was my poor judgment.
These are all old tricks of his.
When I first met him, I
had just been retrenched.
When I first met him, I had just gotten a
divorce after my husband cheated on me.
Every said I was the problem.
Back then, I also thought
I wasn't good enough.
And then he approached you.
And took advantage of
your vulnerability to say...
- Darling...
- I understand what you're going through.
Here's 600,00, including the 200,000.
This should be everything he embezzled.
He only took 400,000.
The remaining 200,000 must be yours.
It's now back in the right hands.
I can't believe it, I misjudged you.
A conman is refusing money?
Hell no.
Flight tickets to the Sahara, food and
gas money, and the cash gift for Mrs. Wan.
Even the pork chop buns and lemon tea
will all be on her tab.
What about you?
Me? I've broadened my acting range.
Totally worth it.
What about you? Do you
find this job worthwhile?
Well...
No losses made.
We succeeded!
Success!
What about your stock of fake blood?
I'll save them for the next film set.
Some bring money to
productions, I bring blood.
You know what?
It's something if criminals think
they aren't problematic,
but it's even more ridiculous
if kind people blame themselves.
Live more confidently.
She's totally unlike you.
If you're afraid of
getting hurt, take it easy.
I'm off.
Bye!
All the best, best actress!
Gotcha!
I'll get going, too.
Hang on.
Where's your farewell greeting?
Not planning to hang off a truck today?
A stroll is nice sometimes.
We're here.
Thanks.
I left something in your sun visor.
You can start afresh.
You can start afresh, too.
Hey!
Do you still want to get rid of that lock?
Nah!
It was pretty expensive.
Maybe I'll write something else on it
in the future.
My name, perhaps?
You're so narcissistic.
You have too many names to fit on it.
Huang Xin Hua.
- What?
- My real name is Huang Xin Hua.
It's the name my mother wanted me to have.
It's a great name.
Take care, Huang Xin Hua.
Take care, Lin Qing Lang.

You've thought it through?
It might not be the most comfortable,
but they have beds there.
Let's go, I'll drive you there.
Can't eat poor, dress poor,
but negativity means poverty!
Hello, I'm Qing Lang!
Wishing you happiness today!
All that contest reposts
finally got my V.I.P concert tickets!
Hong Kong and Macau! Are you ready?
Are you feeling good?
Next up, we have everyone's
favorite segment! Song requests!
Oh! There's a beautiful lady
in pink and long hair!
Hello, Richie! I'm Qing Lang!
- Hello.
Is this your first time at my concert?
Yes, but this isn't my
first time meeting you!
Once, I saw you through binoculars.
What? Are you a stalker?
- No, no!
- Just kidding!
I-I want to pick a song for myself.
I want to tell myself
that winter has passed, and spring...
Spring will make the flowers bloom for you!
Enjoy "Flowers Bloom in Spring"!
Will you be okay on your first drive?
[I'll do fine]
[Your loan has been fully paid...]
[Xiao Hui]
Hey, I have an audition next week
for a character with lines.
Can you come with me?
Sure, but you'll have to practice well.
Don't worry about that.
Welcome on board Hong
Kong-Macau taxi services.
Please fasten your seat belt.
Do I really need to do that
when you're the one driving?
[Taxi Driver's License, Huang Xin Hua]
People change.
Want to listen to some music?
What do you have on here?
[TAXI]
[Honey Money Phony]
It's great to pick up
money-saving tips from me.
But can't you rear your own chicken?
Must you bother my dear Monica?
Hey, Monica. Why are you so cute?
- Hey, come here!
- What's wrong?
Monica's laying eggs!
Why the fuss? She does that every day.
But this isn't the same,
because she laid two...
Easter eggs?
With car accidents,
many films exaggerate this scene.
Once, I saw a car hit a blind girl
when she was crossing the road.
Her helplessness, panic, and confusion...
That was the real deal.
Sorry, I'm late.
D-Do you believe in miracles?
Dear fans, check out
this quality and elasticity!
Doesn't hurt your wrist or leave marks!
One hair tie and any
accessory for just 13.14!
Perfect for romantic
guys, and even I use them!
After all, a lady's
hair tie is a man's ring.
I shared my experience
of being deceived by a girl.
You have to fight back
against scammers bravely.
The law shouldn't yield to crime.
- Hey!
- Hi!
- It's been so long!
- Hey there.
You can make calls in there?
They're very civil here,
and I've been behaving well.
You're doing great!
Not bad, Xiao Hui!
Congrats on getting the
role! You look gorgeous!
I have to show you!
I have lines this time!
Several! A living role!
You're one step closer to an Oscar!
The countdown is starting!
Five, four, three, two, one!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
