[Episode 31]
[We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us. -Tagore]
What are you guys doing here?
Two months have passed since spring break.
But you guys seem to be still on vacation.
One gets sleepy in spring, takes a nap in summer,
feels the fatigue and slumbers in winter.
These are laws of nature that are hard to disobey.
It's because we all stayed up late to think of a topic.
Nevertheless, we haven't seen Mr. Lu since early morning.
He isn't in the office.
He should be here in a while.
Don't you have the feeling that
something is wrong in the company recently?
Something wrong?
You must have watched too many dramas.
Nothing is abnormal.
There will be changes. Seriously.
This is the time
of the end of the first quarter,
and the end of March.
It's the end of March!
It's the time for leadership transition this year.
I heard that it changes every three years.
Except for the CEO,
our boss
and all department heads must be re-rated.
It will take a few days to finish.
They will be too busy to notice us.
Do you think that
the changes would bring a huge impact?
Come on.
Gossip less.
This level of competition
isn't for us to look on.
No matter what happens,
just relax.
It won't affect us.
You're here to discuss the theme,
not chitchatting.
Well.
We were just talking about
the company's recent leadership transition.
We guessed that you must have been occupied,
and have no time for us.
Leadership transition?
That's the business of the board of directors.
What does it have to do with you guys?
What matters to you is the theme selection.
A few days have passed,
but what's your theme?
Tell me, everyone!
Mr. Lu.
Actually,
We did come up with a good one.
Go ahead.
Actually,
the thing is that
all of us
have been doing commercial projects for a long time.
And we have formed our own style.
For us, suddenly changing direction
and discussing a new theme
is somewhat…
Stop beating around the bush, just tell me your ideas.
It's in spring, then let's talk about love.
I mean…
I want to know that
whether you guys, during the Spring Festival
came to any class reunion.
Yes, I did.
It was awkward.
Really awkward!
Don't know what to talk about.
Nothing in common.
But there was not just embarrassment.
There was also excitement
and classmate friendship.
Right.
However,
those we've known in our school days,
our classmates and friends,
when they are getting together,
they might talk awkwardly,
and we might feel embarrassed.
They have changed,
but we also have changed.
It doesn't happen in one day.
Everyone is growing up,
and unconsciously putting on a mask.
So instead of
first love
or being in love,
it's more like
looking back
the past selves
being young and arrogant,
but also full of sincerity and enthusiasm.
This one is good.
I agree.
Then that's it.
You're the best!
Recently, there are some
ongoing personnel changes in the company,
which will impact the operation efficiency some departments.
What's more, in the second season of the show,
something will be
revised and adjusted accordingly.
As for that,
we'll talk in a meeting in several days.
Your main task now is
to collect information and materials,
and improve the proposal.
It's our first comeback proposal.
We must show our advantage
and features.
No problem, Mr. Lu.
We can surely make it.
We'll definitely meet your requirements.
Mr. Yin.
Li Bo
and other board members
have been inside for more than three hours,
leaving you here alone.
A fierce competition is coming.
The situation is not good for us.
Think about it.
What could they discuss inside?
The semanticist,
Wendell Johnson once said,
"Our language
is an imperfect instrument
created by ancient
and ignorant men."
If you can understand it,
You won't care what they are talking about.
Look at the world outside the window.
What can you see?
I tell you what I've seen.
I've seen the endless process,
difference,
changes,
ranges,
functions, relationships, problems and complexity.
What can we learn from these?
We can learn that language
would never catch up with this dynamic world.
This's what we are faced with.
That's the biggest challenge.
But it's also what you and I
can take advantage of.
Brother.
Let's first put this match thing aside.
Our ultimate goal is to realize our ideals.
We've prepared so long a time,
and with great efforts.
Will they be all in vain?
The ideals?
But what if
we have a plan,
while the world has another plan?
What should we do then?
But...
Stop yapping!
Just make a new plan!
[Jinhui Building]
The theme is finally settled.
Thanks to Sister Xiao Xiao.
Indeed.
Otherwise,
we would have had to rack our brains.
How about all going to watch a movie?
Good idea.
I'm not going.
I have lots of things to do back home.
Come on.
I'm really not going.
I got to go.
Bye.
Goodbye.
Bye-Bye.
What makes you so considerate today?
You drove me here in the morning and came to pick me up in the afternoon.
I never treated you bad,
did I?
But it's indeed better today.
Come on. This way.
Get in the car first.
What makes her get so lucky?
Look at them, so adorable.
I'm jealous.
How about
me buying you a bag of dog food right now?* (* Lit.: Internet slang. "Eat dog food" equals "watch PDA")
Eat as much as you can.
You two stop it.
I've had enough.
Yue Yue.
Let's go.
Mr. Li.
Please leave us here.
We're fine.
We can play golf together when free.
I heard that since you came back from America,
you haven't been to the court.
Indeed.
For quite a long time.
I've been out of practice.
It's time to practice more.
Well, one of my friends said
that he had a new green court opened in the south.
It's with a good environment.
Let's go together next week.
OK.
Good.
Once settled,
we can go at any time.
Good.
Several foreign-financed project leaders
are still waiting to see you.
OK.
Where's Yin?
I haven't seen him since early morning.
Maybe he's busy with the project.
Other directors have often mentioned him,
praising him as a good worker.
You'd better take care of the talent.
No problem.
[Crispy rice crust] Yin
is one of my right-hand men.
He has contributed a lot
to the company's work,
from administration to business.
He is very loyal.
How about
inviting him to go with us
next week?
Good idea.
Then we are leaving now.
OK.
Please.
OK.
Come in, please.
How do you like it here?
Come.
Please have a seat.
What's all this about?
What day is it today?
Is it necessary to eat here?
I've even changed specially for this.
But I feel
it's still not very suitable.
It is.
Whatever you wear is suitable.
It's too extravagant.
I think it's fine.
The food must be very expensive.
We can afford it.
Your career is just taking off. Better be thrifty.
The boss here is my friend.
He offers us discounts.
Always bragging.
So, nobody isn't your friend.
When did I ever brag to you?
Here he comes.
Hey!
Su.
Hello!
I'm the boss here.
I'm Su Hao.
Duan Cong said
you were a master in International Style of Ballroom Dancing.
What a coincidence!
I like it, too.
No.
I don't know how to dance.
I lied because he brags all the time.
He said he could fly a plane,
and even drive a tank.
I was just teasing him.
I didn't learn anything of it.
You're being too modest.
I bet that you dance very well.
Come on!
I really don't…
Beat him!
It's OK. Just follow me.
But I…
Hey! Time to stop.
That's enough.
Return my girl back.
Let's go.
There are two kinds of people in this world.
One
takes the easier way,
while the other
takes the harder way.
I read it in the girl's eyes.
She is one of the second kind.
She is very special.
Stay away from her.
Don't pretend to be insightful.
Cut it out.
Skip the menu.
You recommend dishes and I will pay.
All right?
OK.
Wait a minute.
I feel
people around here are very envious of me.
Because I have such a beautiful girlfriend
who is gifted in so many ways.
Duan Cong.
Did you know before
that I was bragging?
So, you embarrassed me on purpose.
I'll make you suffer when we are back home.
Make me suffer?
It sounds pretty exciting.
How about going home right now?
Stop it!
I haven't introduced him to you yet.
That guy
is my best bud when I was studying in the US.
His name is Su Hao.
He has always been like that.
He has the quality of a wandering singer,
or a bard.
Thus, we call him Captain.
Then,
he had stayed around Europe for more than ten years.
He returned home not long ago,
and opened this French-style restaurant.
You can enjoy traditional French food here,
which you can barely taste in other places.
Thank you for your compliment.
Xiao Xiao, I should tell you
that when in America,
he was like a big deal, handsome and romantic.
So many girls liked him.
Girls in all colors of skin and hair
all wanted to be with him.
If it were nowadays,
he must be the school hunk.
That is enough.
She may take it seriously.
I'm just kidding.
There were indeed many girls who liked him.
However,
he was barely attracted to.
He is really a nice man.
Worth your love.
I'll bring you wine.
Go ahead.
Yin.
Still working?
Mr. Li.
I got a few items.
I just want to get it done and then go home.
Have some?
I'm fine.
Don't bother.
I just want to talk with you.
OK.
I'm listening.
Thanks to you, Lao Yin.
Qin Qiao
did waste my promotion.
She is still young and impetuous.
Now in this whole company,
only you, Yin, is the most reliable one.
You've helped me a lot.
Thank you!
Members of the board came today,
and they mentioned
that you are a talent.
You were not here.
Otherwise, I would have called you over.
Yin.
It's known
that you're capable,
experienced
and sophisticated.
Everyone knows that.
But in the past few years,
you had experienced a hard time.
Don't worry.
I've already recommended you to the board today.
In the next few years,
no matter what you want
and what kind of request,
let me know.
I will communicate with them.
And I ensure that your future in YO Media
will only be brighter.
Keep up!
I am leaving.
Delicious and not expensive.
It shouldn't be expensive.
They are all French homely dishes.
That's true.
Eight dishes.
All very tasty.
Every dish is very delicious.
It's exactly the same as in the movie.
I can bring you here whenever you want.
In fact,
remember last time when we ate Stewed Pork?
If it wasn't for you and your persistence,
I might have missed such delicious food.
It's true.
I was locking myself away before.
I missed a lot of wonderful things.
Therefore,
from now on you should listen to me,
and you won't miss those good things.
People are around here. Stop it.
I'm fine with it.
So.
Is it true
that Su Hao,
for the girl he loved at that time,
went to all the Michelin restaurants in France?
Yes.
Because of that girl,
he had suffered a lot at that time.
That French girl married someone else then.
He was very sad,
feeling heartbroken.
Since then, he had worked very hard.
He went to all the restaurants in France,
and learned all French dishes.
What we ate today are all designed by himself.
What a determined man!
No wonder there is a saying
that if you want people to buy your products,
you have to tell a good story about it.
Therefore,
his food is delicious
because
there is a romantic love story.
You are drunk.
No, I'm not.
Then how come
your face looks so red?
Impossible.
I don't flush from drinking.
Have a look.
Let's go.
Qi, Sa Mo.
Lei, you need to work a bit harder.
Go to two places today.
OK.
The shooting sites today are away from each other.
Everybody, cheer up. (Xiao)
Also,
I've sent the contact info and shooting address
in our group chat.
Take a closer look.
Don't go to the wrong place.
Time to go.
Okay!
Remember to eat.
Got it.
Keep the receipt.
OK!
Go ahead.
The sunflower is for you.
It goes well with you.
Ferrari is for you, too.
I don't think the car suits me,
but you like it.
How about it?
Do you want to go for a drive with me?
Come on.
Follow me.
Come over.
What are you doing here?
To see you.
I came back especially for you.
Xiao.
From now on,
I can chase you again, if it's what you want.
I can marry you as well.
I'll do anything for you.
Anyway, I will always be by your side from now on.
You won't have to worry about money anymore.
You won't need to
squeeze through people in the bus and metro.
And
water, electricity and rent won't be problems anymore.
When getting a buffet,
we won't have to pack the leftovers secretly.
Haidilao is open for 24-hour.
We can go there whenever we want.
You wanted to work in journalism.
I totally support you.
Unconditionally.
As for
those things I promised you,
I will keep up with them one by one.
My dream has come true.
And I want to help you realize your dream.
I left Beijing.
I went far away.
But no matter how far I go,
and no matter how many places I've been to,
I know I must come back.
I must come back for you.
Wherever you are is my home.
So, nothing could stop me
from being with you.
Don't open it.
Are you done talking?
Nie Jia Fan.
Thank you.
But there is no need.
The reason why our memories are beautiful
is that we imagine most of them.
Memories are memories.
What's in the past is in the past.
So don't go back.
Look ahead.
I can see
that you are successful now.
I'm doing well, too.
And I already have a boyfriend.
So, please don't come to me again in the future.
I'll thank you for that.
I can't focus at all.
Totally distracted from work.
What's going on？
Haven't you heard
that our leadership transition which goes every three years
is about to begin.
I heard about it.
I see that you all have many ideas.
But we need to focus on one major point.
And then figure out
something best featuring it.
For example...
[Dreams] For example, the theme of dreams...
I think the love vow is the best for it.
How is it going recently?
I'm all right.
The doctor said I could be discharged.
And recently,
I've been in a good mood.
Why
do you suddenly want to quit?
I'm not suitable here.
In this company,
I had some bad memories.
The company recently is shifting leadership.
So, the HR resignation process should be faster.
I want to leave here as soon as possible.
Xiao Xiao.
During this time,
the person I want to see the most is you.
Then,
have you decided
where to go after resignation?
Guo Dong and his friends
co-founded a photography studio.
We are ready to start a business together.
You and Guo Dong?
We are getting married.
He is always supporting me with love.
That's good.
You have my blessing.
Xiao Xiao.
Actually, I always wanted to tell you...
Don't.
Shen Ying.
There is one thing
that I always wanted to ask you about.
We were together every day at that time,
almost being together day and night.
When did you
get those high heels and suits prepared?
Answer me.
When?
When you were dating.
When I was dating?
Expensive?
Very expensive.
Is it easy to walk in?
Not wearing them today?
It's hard to walk with.
Why don't you wear high heels today?
I'm afraid they make me look much taller than you.
And you also changed your lipstick.
Yes, the one you've tried before!
Stop being so naughty!
Sister Lin, please wait a minute.
You two, cut this down.
Yes.
Thanks.
To be frank.
I think your theme of this season
are not very good.
But relax.
You can rethink your ideas afterwards.
OK.
Let's discuss it again at the next meeting.
OK.
Okay.
Excuse me.
What's up?
Xiao Xiao.
Hope I didn't disturb you.
I wonder
if you could do me a favor.
I have an exhibition of paintings.
Could you please come and take some photos for me?
To get publicity.
Good for you!
No problem.
Send me the time and address.
OK.
Thanks so much.
You're welcome.
Bye.
OK!
I'm here.
The exhibition looks very good.
Where are you now?
All right.
You do what you got to do.
I'll look around by myself
and take some photos.
Bye.
I need to apologize.
I lied to you again.
Xiao Xiao, don't leave!
Don't!
It's the most important day for me.
I don't care whether people would come here.
I only want you to come.
I'm really sorry for
what I made you go through.
I made a lot of mistakes.
I was childish,
crazy,
and selfish.
And I made you suffer for all this.
I was inconsiderate,
taking you for granted.
I'm really sorry.
You don't have to say sorry to me.
Your achievement today
is because of your hard work.
Nie Jia Fan.
You should believe in your gift.
How ironic!
It's the reality
that when you were nobody,
these paintings
were nothing to others.
But today you're famous.
They suddenly become works of art.
I still remember
that you wanted to destroy that sculpture.
But you see.
It's now placed here in your exhibition.
At the very center.
So eye-catching.
It seems
that everything here was the same as before.
But it's different in some senses.
There is something changed.
Thank you, Xiao Xiao.
Thank you for being with me
in those hardest days.
Thank you for planting a seed in my heart.
I used to think
that seed had gone.
But it is still there.
It's tough
and grows well.
So, without you,
I wouldn't become me.
I hope you can see this exhibition.
I had dumplings yesterday,
with a coin inside.* (* Lit.: put a coin inside a dumpling for good luck)
I also made a wish.
I hoped you could come today.
And you really came.
I know things couldn't come back.
I also know that some wishes can't come true.
So, I made another wish
that you could be happy.
I hope that your current boyfriend
is better than me.
He has to be better than me.
Goodbye.
[Hello. Goodbye] [MUSEUM OF INTERNATIONAL BREWMASTER ART]
Excuse me.
Where is Mr. Li, Li Bo?
May I ask who you are?
[Public Security]
The company is now on the rise.
So, we need
new ideas
and new strategies.
Our goals in the future
are very clear.
Our company in the new media market
has already taken a place.
Then our next goals
are even clearer.
We must think bigger.
Be more creative.
Strive to lead
the front of times.
Newcomers are equal to senior workers.
The bigger you think,
the further
you'll go.
Who is Qin Qiao?
Who are you?
We are from the Economic Crime Investigation Bureau.
You're Li Bo, right?
Yes.
YO Media Company is involved in a huge internal corruption case.
We need you two to come
to assist the investigation.
Please come with us.
Do not worry.
I'm here.
I think I can handle it.
You can leave it to me.
Once the company's trade secrets are leaked,
things will go really bad.
Thus, self-examination is required.
The company's power
shouldn't have been controlled by one person.
Otherwise, things would go wrong as time passes by.
It's time to concede power to those young.
Seniors are indeed
more good at it.
When did you get the fake accounts of Qin Qiao and the others?
I didn't know it.
Who said it was me?
Then why they…
I don't want it.
Put it in your mouth.
Don't chew it.
What's the taste?
The flavor of cucumber.
Anything else?
A bit salty.
What else?
A bit sweet.
And?
This's not what I want to know.
Just skip these stupid flavors.
I want to know
that after Li Bo left,
what would happen to me.
I ask you what else you've tasted.
Nothing.
[Orion Chips] There are more than a dozen flavors.
But you can only tell three of them.
What does it mean?
You are panicky.
I'm not.
Then, how come you can't taste the flavors?
I'm telling you
that the things I promised you
will be fulfilled.
If you want more,
you need to calm down
to have good thinking.
What is a fake account?
A fake account is a fake account.
Is there any difference?
Also,
next time you come,
you need to inform me in advance.
Hello.
-Good day, Mr. Lu. -Good day, Mr. Lu.
Yes.
Right.
OK. Captain Chen.
The information you need
is all here.
Thank you very much.
Lu Mang.
YO Media is involved in several problematic projects.
You were in.
So, if we have questions,
we'll still need your cooperation.
OK.
You can go on with your work.
We are leaving.
Let's go.
It's over!
Why are you two sitting here?
Have you finished your work?
The company is about to fall.
There is no need to work.
What happened?
You don't know?
The whole company knows about it.
What is it?
There are fake accounts of over 90 million yuan.
Mr. Li and Ms. Qin did that.
It involves
more than our department.
Our boss has been called upon.
Everyone on the 32nd floor has stopped working.
The impact is enormous.
I suggest
that you find other jobs.
Xiao Xiao.
Be prepared.
Mr. Yin asks you to go to his office for a meeting.
OK. One minute.
Thanks.
