♪Twin oars♪
♪Look at how bright my fish tank is♪
♪Little goldfish♪
♪You're so pretty♪
♪And my little lamp is really bright♪
Mr. Duan.
Are you thinking about your fish tank
or are you thinking about that girl?
Both.
I'm pissed just thinking about it.
This fish tank dropping from the ceiling
costs more than the entire company's renovation.
Also,
did you ask what I asked you to ask?
Is that girl single?
I wanted to talk to you about this.
Mr. Cheng,
I think you should go to the matchmaking corner in the park
to find those aunties who do public square dancing.
Because they
are waiting for you with cards in their hands.
Plus,
others don't get programmers' strengths,
but they do, right?
You have opportunities to take your pick,
so why bother?
Right?
Duan Chong.
Burning the bridge after crossing it, are you?
What did we agree on back then?
Moreover,
in that matchmaking corner,
those born in '62 to '92
all call themselves girls.
You want to scare me to death?
Tell me,
you didn't ask for me, did you?
You...
Aren't you embarrassed?
That's not because of people with bad acting skills like you,
you know?
How could you be so bad at acting?
She could see right through you.
Right?
Do you even know how much effort I spent
trying to patch things up?
I just finished patching things up.
How could I ask that for you?
It's all because of your bad acting, you know?
Garbage actor.
You're good at acting.
You're the hero who saved a damsel in distress.
You've become obsessed.
You're just a startup owner.
If you cannot get financing, you're nothing.
Why are you, a down and out prince, pretending to be a frog?
Get out.
What the heck are you saying?
I'm trying to
become closer with the people,
feeling out the enemy.
Stop saying such useless things.
Do you want to be in a relationship or not?
If you don't, leave right now, stop bothering me.
False advertising.
Suit yourself.
♪Let's sway twin oars♪
♪The little lamp is lighting up the distance♪
This doesn't make sense.
How could he walk out so calmly?
Definitely used a huge pump.
That's impossible.
I used it yesterday.
The hair came off really cleanly.
Not even a single hair left.
Pretty smooth.
You got something on your lips.
How is it now?
It's gone.
Not missing a single hair.
Looks even fuller than before.
Out to scam people again.
Distinguished guests,
it's my great pleasure to welcome everyone
to our Inch IT.
As the chairman and general manager,
I would like to introduce
a few projects our company is leading,
as well as the coding application we've developed ourselves.
Hold on, hold on.
Can't you talk about our company's philosophy?
Coding? Would those in investing understand anything?
Follow what those on talent shows do.
Make up stories, build momentum.
This is called soft competitive power.
Sure.
Then you go make the pitch on Monday.
I'll sit in the audience and learn from you.
No...
Don't...
That's not my thing.
I think you're doing great.
I have five sentences in total.
You interrupted me six times.
I'm not, I...
Seven times.
This...
No...
I'm trying to feel involved.
I'm a partner of the company
and our company has come to this moment.
You're still up on Monday.
I can't do it, I can't.
Look at you.
Using hairspray all day,
making your hair look like a cockscomb.
You don't understand art.
Teacher Xiao.
There is this startup exhibition.
Are you interested in coming?
Can we talk business?
Stop flirting with girls.
Why are you bothered by so many things?
You're being so nosy.
Work hard,
or you'll be fired.
Wh...
Fired?
Duan Chong.
Can we turn on the a/c
when we camp out here tonight?
No.
It's too hot for me.
It won't be hot once you lose some weight.
I...
Losing weight...
Stingy Duan...
Chen!
Are you hot?
Chen says it's hot too.
Sister Nuo.
There's a place that sells fruits right under your apartment.
Why did you carry these all the way back?
To let your brother-in-law feel my love.
Your love?
You only got four.
Sometimes, love can't be too heavy.
Then buy these from the shop downstairs
and tell him that you carried them back from over there.
Wouldn't that work?
But when two people are together,
they shouldn't lie to each other, right?
Sister Nuo.
You shouldn't be working at an advertising agency.
You should be a love adviser for both sexes.
The relationship between both sexes
is a very important part of human relationships,
right?
The world is so vast,
work is so hard,
everyone is so lonely.
So, finding someone to be with
is pretty important.
At least, it's warm sustenance.
Sister Nuo.
Have I been coming to you so often recently
that you're getting tired of me?
Everything you're saying
is making me think that you want me to be in a relationship ASAP.
I'm afraid that you're wasting your youth.
You're so young.
Do you know what youth is for?
It's for relationships.
Stop it.
It's not like you don't know how bad the men
I've dated in the past are.
Nie Jia Fan, for example.
You saw how he was.
Gifting me fake bags,
a cell phone,
a motorcycle,
which had a fake plate.
And then,
he just disappeared.
I've seen through him.
In this lifetime, I
will not be giving him a second chance.
I'm going to give this cell phone back to him myself
and make a clean break.
I support you.
Out with the old, in with the new.
Let's go.
Hello?
Hello, Teacher Xiao.
Where are you?
I'm running some errands.
Oh, right.
Send me the location of your exhibition.
I'll go by myself when it's time.
Okay.
Alright then,
Okay.
I'll see you then.
A little blue, this is the sky.
Food.
More food.
All food.
Farm's dream.
This is farm's dream.
Farm looks very very happy.
Happy.
This line...
Di.
-Look. Look. -Okay.
All beautiful.
You're here to see the show?
Come here.
What are you doing?
Why are you hiding?
I'm not hiding.
Harvest.
What's going on?
These clothes...
Let me explain.
Nie
left the art studio and the clothes
in my care.
He didn't say that I'm not allowed to wear these clothes.
Where is Nie Jia Fan?
Where did he go off to?
I don't know.
Nie didn't tell you?
Hurry, speak up.
What happened?
He was picked
to go abroad for a field trip or something.
I'm not sure about the details.
All in all,
it's exciting.
He has finally made it.
In our field of work,
you know
how slim chances are.
If someone fancies you,
then you're an artist.
If not,
you're just an idiot.
But I know that Nie
didn't want to let you go.
Give Nie Jia Fan a call.
Why call him?
Hurry up.
He won't pick up my calls.
Hello?
Where are you?
I'm Teng Xiao Xiao.
Where are you?
Speak up.
I'm asking you where you are.
Wait there. I'll be right there.
Raise your head. Look up.
Deal with that later.
Deal with it later.
I'll do it for you.
Do it later.
Lower your head.
When you should be lowering your head, you don't.
Why is your neck so thick?
I...
Look up.
It's lopsided.
This is what an artist should look like.
An artist needs to be done up too.
Here, your arm.
Look.
Dignified, without losing demeanor.
Artistic, yet interesting.
I'm telling you,
this is authentically vintage.
Wen what ji?
Vintage.
You don't know? And you call yourself an artist?
Vintage.
I saved up two months' salary to buy this for you.
It does look a little long.
I'll crop it for you later.
Okay.
Here, look in the mirror.
Does it look good?
Xiao, you brought me such an expensive gift
with your first paycheck.
I also sold a painting today,
but I didn't buy you anything.
That's fine.
Let's go out to eat.
We'll go to Haidilao.
Okay.
Then I'll go get changed right now.
Why change?
I was going to wear something to match you.
No, no, no.
These clothes are too precious.
I need to put them away
and treasure them dearly.
I'll put them on again
once I've become a master.
You'll definitely become a master.
What do you mean by this?
Leaving all of a sudden.
Not telling me anything,
not picking up my calls.
It was a spontaneous decision.
Where are you off to?
Europe.
Not bad.
Something as big as going to Europe
can be decided spontaneously.
You've really made it then.
For how long?
I don't know.
Maybe one to two months,
maybe longer.
You know I've always wanted to go to Europe.
I think you can understand me.
If I keep staying at Songzhuang
painting fakes,
my life will be over,
my world will forever be that small.
You don't know
how good it feels
to have your own paintings displayed in an exhibition.
If I can go abroad this time,
things won't be the same once I come back.
That's good.
Go.
Jia Fan.
That's mine.
You must be Xiao Xiao.
Jia Fan mentions you a lot.
You look pretty cute.
Hello.
I'm Qin Qin.
Oh my gosh, why are your hands so rough?
Jia Fan often mentioned
that you work super hard, often working until midnight.
I'm telling you, girls can't be like that.
I have hand cream, let me put some on for you.
No, thanks.
This hand cream is really good.
Here.
It's okay.
There's really no need.
Let me put some on for you.
I really don't need it.
I'm telling you...
Since
you know so much about Nie Jia Fan and me,
can I talk to him alone for a moment?
Can't I stay here and listen?
Qin Qin.
Be good.
Give me a few minutes.
How many minutes are a few minutes?
Ten minutes.
Okay.
Then I'll be back in five minutes.
See me off.
I'm asking you to see me off.
Wait for me.
[International, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan Departures International, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan Arrivals]
Xiao Xiao.
That was my sponsor's daughter.
I'm really trying to get gilded, Xiao Xiao,
really.
I can't live this trivial life
every day and waste my time.
If I go on like this, I'll be done for, Xiao Xiao.
After I come back from Europe,
I'll be able to make it for sure,
I'll be able to do better.
You...
Can you...
Wait for you to come back?
Right.
After you make it big, you'll come back for me.
Right.
Can you?
No.
But...
Hurry and get the heck out of here, Nie Jia Fan.
She's a pretty good catch.
It's fortunate that she likes you.
Hurry up and get lost.
Xiao Xiao...
Don't be like this, okay?
Don't be like this.
Xiao Xiao, if you're not happy,
then I won't go.
I won't go.
We, we...
Let me take you home.
Home?
Where?
Home.
Which home?
Don't pull me.
Nie Jia Fan!
I'm not going, let's go home.
You...
Put me down!
Don't touch me!
Piss off!
Xiao Xiao.
Piss off!
Nie Jia Fan.
I'm begging you.
Let me go.
Do not ever stay here for me.
I can't afford to let you miss such a precious opportunity.
When you become a middle-aged man and regret your decision,
I can't return the opportunity to you,
you can't bear the consequences either.
The two of us
have been Beijing drifters together.
We're comrades who have carried guns on their shoulders together.
Now you've achieved victory in the revolution.
I congratulate you.
Wishing you all the best and tremendous success
in your future.
Goodbye.
[International, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan Departures]
It's almost time.
You've put up enough acting.
Let's go.

What happened?
Nie Jia Fan went abroad.
Finally, someone appreciated his talent,
bought all his paintings,
held an art exhibition for him,
and sponsored him financially to study abroad.
It's great.
I'm happy for him.
It's a woman, right?
I can't do any of these.
It's not difficult.
As long as you have money.
Nowadays, there are many rich women
who want to be with artists.
Having artists by their sides
makes them seem like they have a great artistic taste.
Sis.
We can't think that way.
What if he really has unmatched talent?
We can't think about everything
in such a dark way.
Did you see him in person?
What did he say?
When I first met him,
I was in my third year of university,
just like them.
At the time, I was scouting out the Songzhuang Arts Festival.
He was painting outside,
wearing a tattered T-shirt,
looking invincible.
I thought he was so cool.
Seriously.
very awesome.
Today,
I saw the outfit I bought for him
on someone else.
Looked pretty good too,
really.
Songzhuang's artists are a dime a dozen.
They're all the same.
They're all the same, all unmatched.
We have to celebrate today.
That messenger of bad luck has finally retreated.
This is so great.
I finally don't have to eat braised noodles anymore.
[The average disposable income per capita of urban residents]

In the first half of 2019,
the average disposable income per capita of Beijing residents is 33,860 yuan,
a year-over-year increase of 8.9%.
Are these people living in the same Beijing as me?
I've been here three years.
I still don't have a salary.
Psyching myself up every day.
See my cell phone screen?
I spent 1,200 yuan
to have the screen replaced.
Spent a fortune.
Because Nie Jia Fan gave this to me.
I've been with him for a long time.
This was the first time
he gave me a present so formally,
an expensive gift.
I flaunt myself all day, saying that I want to be independent.
Who doesn't like iPhones?
I feel so good carrying it around.
Its screen cracked the other day. I was so distressed.
I'm such a big idiot.
Must have meat when you're in a bad mood.
The beef is on the house.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Coming, coming.
If I had known that having a hotpot would solve everything,
I would've brought you here before you started crying.
Don't you know me?
I was just letting things go.
If I don't put on an act of love and hate
and ball my eyes out in front of you,
how could I break off my feelings for Nie Jia Fan?
You always have a trick up your sleeve.
But I think
I, Teng Xiao Xiao, lead a charmed life.
Whenever something happens to me,
Shen Ying or you always have my back.
So, I mean...
why don't I just live with the two of you?
Don't need men,
don't need relationships.
What's good about being in a relationship anyway?
Sorry.
Come on, keep eating.
When did the seats behind us fill up?
They all, all...
came in pairs.
Sorry.
Enjoy your time together.
Keep on eating.
Is she drunk?
I lost control of myself.
Which act are you putting up right now?
You're being a hot-blooded youth?
If you want to shout, direct it towards Houhai. (*a lake in Beijing)
Go on, yell.
I'll stop.
You'll stop? Not entirely drunk.
Life is life,
right?
Different emotional experiences at different stages.
When I was dating your brother-in-law
back in university,
I was really dramatic too.
But I'm not like that now.
I've grown up, I've matured.
The same goes for you.
Nie Jia Fan
is only suitable for the past you, the childish and naive you.
The you right now, is different from before.
He cannot support you.
Is that so?
He cannot control you.
Really?
Really.
So, flip the page on that messenger of bad luck.
Let him die.
What you should do right now
is pulling yourself together.
You'll definitely meet someone better in the future.
Someone better?
Better.
Did you hear that?
I, Teng Xiao Xiao, will find someone better!
That someone better, wait for me!

Look at you.
Using a blanket
on such a hot day.
Aren't you afraid of getting prickly heat?
My heart is frozen. (*to be bitterly disappointed)
Look.
What's this?
Looks so gross.
Isn't this you?
A sea spider.
It took this organism 500 million years to prove
that no one can use and manipulate you
if you live to be a good-for-nothing.
It usually spends its time on the seabed,
picking up trash to eat.
It has no lofty ideals.
Aside from legs, all it has is a mouth,
it has no flesh at all.
No other creature wants to eat it.
Even to the most greedy creatures, humans,
it has no exploitation value.
So this good-for-nothing creature
is able to survive until now.
This is you.
I'm much cuter, alright?
Tell me.
How long have you been staying at home since returning to Beijing?
When are you planning to go out?
I want to date.
But I have no motivation.
I'm too lazy to brush my teeth.
Don't want to wash my hair either.
Fan Jia Qi.
Stop showing me spiders
and toads.
Introduce me to some potential boyfriends.
Serious boyfriends.
I want to get married.
Get married.
Sure.
As long as you don't mind
men being better at makeup than you,
I have many candidates.
You scared me.
Xiao Xiao.
How did that thing of yours end?
Good and bad.
Bad, but also pretty good.
What nonsense is this?
Then let's think about
how to deal with the one inside.
Xiao Xiao.
Do you have any detergent left?
Come take a look.
I just bought some.
Let me do my own laundry.
It's fine.
I'll just wash yours with mine.
I'll do it myself.
Missing any?
Already lost three this month.
Disgusting pervert.
I'm so going to kill him today.
Stop, stop, stop.
We cannot act rashly.
We need to think things through.
If we want to do it, we must hit the nail on the head.
Makes sense.
We cannot leave any loose ends behind.
Still eating?
Haven't you been eating the entire night?
How is it going?
Almost done, Brother Hui.
Zai.
Sleeping soundly, are you?
How about we get you a bed?
Get up.
Hiding and sleeping here?
Brother Hui, Brother Hui.
Tell me where you're at.
Shen Ying.
Brother Hui.
Clean up everyone's desks as fast as possible.
They'll be here any second.
Hurry up.
Yes, Brother Hui.
Duo.
Go to the conference room
and get my laptop.
Hurry, hurry.
Sister Zi Feng is here.
Have a seat, have a seat.
Worked through the entire night?
You've worked hard.
It's nothing.
Shen Ying.
This job can't be done by one person?
Let me help you then.
I can do it.
Bai.
Go to the resource room
and get all the materials we need.
Bai, hold on.
You've all worked hard.
Stayed up all night.
Sis.
I made congee for everyone.
Come have some congee.
Thank you, Sister Zi Feng.
No need.
Here, you two pass it out.
Okay.
Here, here, here.
There's more.
Hurry up and pass it out.
Shen Ying.
Don't just stand there.
Come have some.
What are you standing there for?
Quick, come here.
Zhu Hui,
ladle some for Shen Ying.
Sure.
Come on, eat up.
Have it while it's still hot.
Come with me.
I haven't had any congee yet, Sis.
Have it later.
You'll get some for sure.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Can I get some?
I'm going to fill her bowl first.
I want some too.
You...
I'll do it.
Hurry.
Okay.
Give me more.
Fine.
It's good.
Really good.
It's so good.
Sis.
You wanted to see me?
You've been way over your head recently.
What happened?
Don't play dumb.
Ever since we got a new project,
the rumors haven't stopped.
Saying that there's internal conflict,
office politics. You didn't know?
I... I know a little.
But isn't this normal?
This kind of talk has never stopped.
Besides, Wu Guo Ji is here.
He works for us now.
Who is picking sides?
There is no internal conflict.
What about taking advantage of the power and bullying others?
You can order the interns around,
but don't go overboard.
Making Shen Ying serve drinks and clean up garbage all the time.
What do you think you're doing?
Sis.
I'm just letting her do some chores.
She can't do other work anyway.
Didn't she come up
with the theme for this episode?
Not letting her participate in the production is already too much.
What now?
Will buying coffee kill you?
This is a place for work.
Don't bring bad habits
into the workplace.
You can instruct the newcomers,
but you can't bully them. Understand?
When you're not busy,
learn from how Lu Mang mentors newcomers.
Use your head.
Think things through.
Brother... Brother Hui.
I've finished everything
you ordered me to do this morning.
I'll go get everyone's
afternoon coffee in a bit.
No need.
I'll ask Gu Si Zhe to go.
Brother Hui.
Take it.
Brother Hui.
Did I do something wrong again?
This is a list of equipment.
A shooting will start in a bit.
Go upstairs and get the equipment at noon.
I'll send you the address later.
Three o'clock sharp.
Take a look.
Want him dead or not?
Scums must die.
Morning, Brother Hui.
Get ready.
Where are the others?
No one else is coming.
It's just the two of us.
Do you know why I've asked you to come out?
Then do you know why you're here?
This is why I'm really annoyed by you. You know?
You looking as if
you've been wronged
and that everyone has been
deliberately picking on you
is very annoying.
If you're incapable, you're incapable.
Why don't you learn from Teng Xiao Xiao?
Going to any lengths to achieve her goal?
If you do your work well enough, no one will talk behind your back.
When you don't work hard enough and blame others for not giving you opportunities,
do you know what this is called?
I don't even want to say more.
If you keep standing there and not responding,
you can stand until you die.
You're like a bear.
Are you a good-for-nothing?
Brother Hui.
I just want to shoot stuff.
No matter how you scold me,
you can even yell at me,
I just want to stay at the company.
This afternoon,
finish everything on this list.
Recording and shooting are just step one.
How to splice the combination is step two.
Take this.
What is media?
The key is communication.
If you don't know how to communicate with others,
you'll never be a part of the industry.
The world is so vast.
don't just care about the words in front of you.
Anyone with arms and legs,
as long as they're not retarded,
can do the work you're doing right now.

♪I may fall but I keep moving forward♪
♪I was moved by myself♪
