[The Coolest World]
[Episode 22]
[The best kind of friend is who talks less, accompanies you silently, ]
[and understands you. From Gorky]
In case you don't like the food,
I brought it for you.
There was another bottle, but Cheng Xu took it.
I'll get it back next time.
Well, if you really like it,
I got a lot at home.
I can bring you some cans next time.
That's not what I mean.
The key is, this is from your dad.
Did your parents say anything about me?
No.
No?
No, really.
I said I like you.
Don't they have any ideas about that?
My dad said something.
My dad said I'm too young to be in a relationship.
Young?
When my mom was your age, she gave birth to me.
It's not young.
Thank you.
Please enjoy your meal.
All right, let's eat now.
That's the most expensive meal I've ever had.
I have to focus on it.
Don't talk to me from now on.
Let's eat.
All right.
Shall I cut like this?
You can just grab and eat.
I'm sorry.
We're supposed to have Sichuan cuisine.
I didn't expect that we have to eat this by the road.
It doesn't matter.
I feel this is as good as Sichuan cuisine.
I miss the taste of these after long work.
You don't know that these are my obsession.
What do you mean?
You like to eat these?
Well, no.
It's just when I was a kid,
there's one store opposite our school.
Every day I passed it after school,
but my mom wouldn't let me eat it.
If you want a burger, just tell me.
I'll get it for you.
You don't need to.
They all say that
the more you can't get it, the more you want it.
In fact, I always order take-out.
I tell you,
Take-out is more expensive than in-store.
Really?
Sure.
It has a delivery fee.
Think that.
With two extra yuan,
you can get chicken wings in store.
Then I've lost much.
You're an expert of budget.
Sure.
I have my creed.
Money is to be spent but not to be waste.
Then I'll learn from you.
I won't order takeout anymore.
I'll also eat in the restaurant.
Call me when you go next time
Thanks.
They say if you're happy to watch someone eat,
you really fall in love with her.
I think you're cute with a burp.
I'm sure I really like you.
I'm good.
Duan Chong.
I'm patient.
I'm impatient, actually.
Xiaoxiao,
I'm not trying to push you to make a decision now.
But,
what I really mean is that
I hope you can give me a chance.
A chance for me to chase you.
Thank you for your understanding.
Since the first time I met you,
I knew that you are a career-minded girl.
But the chance I asked,
it doesn't mean you have to consider for a while
and give me an answer.
I mean, in the future,
you can try to accept everything I do for you.
Because I do all those things willingly.
Understand?
Maybe after trying this,
you'll get to know me better and even like me.
Thank you.
Well.
But, what do you like about me exactly?
What exactly...
Do you need a reason to love someone?
Do you hear the toot of the sword?
Toot. Toot.
Toot.
What sword?
All I heard was your toot.
I tooted in case you didn't hear that.
Listen carefully.
All right, stop acting.
You love acting.
Well, thank you for your affection.
Really.
But like you said,
I really have no room for love in my mind these days.
My best friend became a regular employee today.
I'm happy for her.
But I feel bad for myself, too.
So, let's talk after this period of time, okay?
I'll pick you up from work in the meantime, okay?
Energy conservation and emissions reduction.
Let's contribute for the blue sky of Beijing.
Then I won't be seeing you for a long time.
I'll be sick.
Then... on weekends.
Let's go to the park on weekends.
Deal.
Toot. Toot.
♪ You say when your mouth toots ♪
♪ Toot, toot, toot ♪
♪ Toot and you'll come ♪
On weekends.
♪ Toot, toot ♪
♪ Toot, toot, toot ♪
♪ Toot and you'll come ♪
[Internationally Famous City]
You come back late.
What happens to you lately?
You come back later than me.
I had dinner with a friend.
Friend?
Why do you have so many friends these days?
Eat with friends every day.
Am I your best friend or not?
Nothing.
I don't believe it.
Tell me the truth.
Did you do something?
I didn't.
Is there something going on?
So you can fall in love,
but I can't have dinner with my friends, right?
What's wrong with you?
You pushed me hard.
I just became a regular employee.
My colleagues asked me to have dinner together
and celebrate for me.
I called you,
but you're busy with your relationship.
Lover is better than friend, right?
I think I get it.
Someone is jealous, right?
I'm not jealous.
You don't admit.
My baby,
you are the most important one in my heart.
By the way,
I have no time for a relationship right now.
I went to see Duan Chong today
to tell him that I need to become regular.
I have to work hard.
What did he say?
I don't understand his straight mind.
Strange, but cute somehow.
You've talked about sweet love the other day.
Now you have it, and you refused it.
Don't always use work as an excuse
to trick him to be your backup.
I never consider him as a backup.
Don't be ridiculous.
I was just kidding.
Why are you so excited?
It's only a matter of time before you turn regular.
You really don't need that as an excuse.
It's a waste of your youth.
Listen to you.
I think you're trying to get me married right away.
You wouldn't be sad to leave me.
Are you willing to let me go?
The rain will fall and the mother will marry.
Sooner or later, you'll leave.
You know right?
You know that I'm easy to fall in love.
So, I can't be in a relationship easily.
When I fall in love, I'll have a love brain,
losing all my intelligence.
Besides, after I broke up with Nie Jiafan,
I'm too scared to move on to the next relationship.
Wait a moment.
Wait till the critical moment passes.
When will the critical moment pass?
If you don't let it go,
the critical moment will never pass.
I'm going to take a shower.
Mr. Hong.
Please have a seat.
Have a drink?
What do you want? Just say it.
Don't be nervous.
I'm working with large companies.
Someone thinks you're too good to stay in YO Media.
That's why I came to you.
What does that mean?
Take a look.
Isn't this the contract of Lu Mang?
Why do you show me this?
This is the contract that Xinqi Magazine
signed with Lu Mang's partner Chen Peng.
Lu Mang was not a shrewd businessman.
Because in some ways he was too silly.
Chen Peng sold Xinqi Magazine
with Lu Mang's contract.
He already got the money.
But Lu Mang did not know this.
Does this have anything to do with me?
Of course it does.
Lu Mang is short of money now.
He really wants to finish his deal with YO media.
Make a program with a stable investment-output ratio
and leave with the money.
But YO Media won't easily let him go.
How many years have you been at YO Media?
Without Lu Mang,
you should have been the project manager.
Lu Mang started Under the Mask.
You don't get credit to take it in the middle.
All In is about to get on.
It has nothing to do with you, either.
Are you willing to stay like this forever?
You seem to know more about our company than I do.
Because YO Media isn't as clean as you think.
This is just the beginning.
You have to believe that
I'm offering you more than this.
Why are you helping me?
Because I believe if you make it,
it's better for our cooperation.
Mutual benefit.
Think about it.
Well, there aren't many chances to choose in life.
Let me get you a cup of tea.
Black tea or green tea?
Black tea.
You gave up a chance to choose.
Take a look at the plan and program introduction.
It involves all departments of the company
So tonight,
make sure you go through all the steps.
Because the next day President Li will check it.
If there's any questions you don't understand,
you can ask Zifeng.
All right?
- Hello? - Zifeng.
Yes.
Will we sell the copyrights
of our projects to other platforms?
I don't know.
Where did you hear that?
I heard that other platforms want to do All In.
I'm thinking...
What are you talking about?
I'm in a meeting.
I'm just worried that Wu Guoji and Lu Mang
have some tricks.
All right.
Just mind your own business, okay?
Can you?
Do it or leave.
All right, let's get back to the meeting.
Why are you still making plans?
Didn't you hand it in yesterday?
That's not enough.
I thought you'll start shooting today.
After all, this is not Lu Mang's own project.
All right?
All right.
After all, this is not Lu Man's own project.
He could not change Wu Guoji's mind.
Now Wu Guoji is obsessed with innovation.
Lu Mang is afraid of the risk.
So we need to prepare a Plan B.
All right.
Okay, just do it.
I'll cover the back for you.
Come on.
Cheng, I don't mean to complain.
Since the company expanded,
neither I nor you have gone to supervise them.
Is that proper?
I'll go at night.
I'll go to maintain at night.
What do you maintain?
I've done all the work.
Now, who's the worker and who's the boss?
Well, what do you mean by saying worker or boss?
Do you know about partners?
We split the money in half, right?
Your company is my company.
Just one company.
Well.
I... I'll go to the company.
I'll go.
Come on.
Stop pretending.
Don't go to the company.
Let's have a meal.
No.
Duan, listen, don't ask me to eat anymore.
I'm on a diet.
Wait a minute.
What's wrong with you these days?
You're not excited about Xiaoxiao's friend.
And you refuse to eat.
It's not like you.
No, I'm just on a diet.
Stand there.
Something bothers you lately, right?
Let me see your phone.
Stop that.
Give it to me.
Stop.
You.
Look how blue the sky is and how clear the water is.
The sky of the motherland is so beautiful.
I can't help feeling it.
My country, I love you.
You know what, Xiaoxiao.
I had one regret when I was young.
It's all because my mom
didn't put my red scarf in my bag,
I didn't officially become a Young Pioneer.
All I could do was watch the other kids get on stage.
From that moment on, I made a vow.
If I can come to the Tiananmen Square,
I must vow before the honorable flag.
Unfortunately, I'm too old now.
I can't do it.
That's not hard.
Duan Chong.
Yes.
I, as Captain of Young Pioneers,
will realize your dream here.
Stand up.
Don't laugh.
Facing the national flag.
Salute.
Ms. Xiao.
Teng Xiaoxiao.
I love you.
Any problem?
Nothing.
Then you've been here a long time.
I just want to ask,
you're just in the planning stage,
why did you empty the equipment room?
You're not the only project in the company.
When we all shoot, the equipment is not enough.
We have to be considerate of each other.
I don't know what you're talking about here.
If you think All In blocked the way of Under the Mask,
You can talk to the boss directly.
We're not the only project in the self-media account.
The company has so many programs.
If you think they all got in the way of Under the Mask,
then I think
it's not far before Under the Mask off the air.
I think what you say makes perfect sense.
All over the company,
who doesn't know you are brilliant.
Just so so.
But I have advice for you.
You can't make it all by yourself.
In All In, you also have Lu Mang.
He's not the easy one.
Be careful not to get tripped.
Excuse me.
Bye.
Come in.
President Yin,
I just ran into Hong Hui from Under the Mask.
He told me not to believe Lu Mang too much.
I told you not to come to me all the time.
I'm afraid it's Qin Qiao's idea.
Does she suspect me?
Get out.
No, because I saw Hong Hui, he...
Get out!
He peeked at All In group...
Hui.
Thanks, Hui.
You and Teng Xiaoxiao are very close, right?
I hear she's now working on All In with Lu Mang.
Did she say anything to you?
You know, All In is our biggest enemy now.
It's not just the production fee.
The company's resources are limited.
We have to make a choice.
She said nothing.
She's making plans and collecting information
with Lu Mang.
But she told me today
that Lu Mang is not in charge of All In.
They are all following the ideas of Wu Guoji.
Did she show you the plan?
Her plan has been handed over to Lu Mang.
But Lu Mang was afraid it would be risky,
so he asked her to make another one.
Well, you two live together, right?
It's okay.
Don't be nervous.
You're together around the office all the time.
It's normal for you to live together.
We all know.
It would be convenient if you live together.
The plan she gave to Lu Mang.
There must be a copy on her computer.
I want you to copy it.
No way.
It's not difficult.
You are stealing.
It's not stealing.
I didn't ask you to do anything.
You should know what are you working for.
It's not enough when you get the badge.
If Under the Mask is gone,
we all have to disappear.
You've just become a regular member.
Don't you want to climb any higher?
What do you want with their plan?
That's none of your business.
I promise I won't implicate you.
I'm just trying to protect Under the Mask.
No way.
I won't do that.
Shen Ying,
You've never been in the office before.
You have no idea how hard it is to make it here.
This is a cruel real world.
If you care so much about friendship,
you're not supposed to be here.
We're running out of time.
If All In is on the air,
when we're all unknowns.
You've just got the job.
You don't want all your efforts to go to waste.
Don't tell me you don't want to win.
I want.
But I don't think you're protecting Under the Mask.
I don't want to do it that way.
I want to compete fair and square.
If you have to do that,
I'm not sure if I'll report you.
Let me go.
What? I'm your leader.
Are you mad with my order?
What are you doing?
Is he bullying you?
Who are you?
None of your business.
You beat me, right?
I beat you, what?
Stop fighting.
Just talk.
Who are you?
Stay away from her.
Tell me which department you're in.
If I see you bullying Shen Ying again.
Which department is he from?
I'll beat you to death.
Guo Dong.
Stop.
Who are you?
Tell me who your boss is.
You have no idea how hard it is to make it here.
Qin Qiao is young.
To get to her position right now,
do you think she has less experience?
I will only keep someone useful to YO Media and me.
Shen Ying doesn't need me when she grows up.
Then why does Teng Xiaoxiao always
get the part of heroine?
Am I your best friend?
Your friend is not simple.
You don't care about your parents and brother.
I feel like I have no future.
Don't you want to climb any higher?
You'll never make it.
You don't want all your efforts to go to waste.
[All In Project Plan]
Xiaoxiao, do you want to have lunch together?
I'd like some noodles.
What are you doing?
Are you in a market?
How old are you to fight?
He started it first.
Shut up.
You're in company.
Go out if you want to fight.
You two will not have this month's bonus.
Don't, President Qin.
Shut up.
What?
What are you looking at?
Have you finished with your work?
I tell you.
Don't do that again.
When I'm at work, don't call me.
Have you made the decision?
No.
I'm not in the mood right now.
You scared me.
Who are you hiding from here?
No one.
I heard that someone at work fought for you today.
Who said?
No.
Anyway, I think someone's chasing you.
You believe that?
Someone in the company said
You and Lu Mang were about to get married
before you're with the handsome rich guy.
They are like play writers.
All right.
If you don't tell me,
you must feel nothing about him.
Our Shen Ying is a pretty, cute and capable girl.
Even I would fall for you.
Not to mention those guys.
Enough.
Finished all your plans?
Not yet.
I'm carrying my laptop on my back.
All right, let's go.
I have a shooting task this afternoon.
Let's go.
I'm starving.
Hurry up.
As usual.
Hello.
Two rice noodles, please.
Okay.
Less spicy?
Normal spicy.
Okay.
Normal spicy.
Paid.
Here's your receipt.
No.
All right.
Making plans again?
One plan a day?
Are you flying to heaven?
Don't make a name for yourself
as the first intern to die of overwork in YO Media.
You're getting more and more sarcastic, right?
I just worried about your health.
You can't work like that.
Lu Mang told me
I should focus on outlines of my work instead of details.
Rockets fly much faster with methodology.
The older, the wiser.
Lu Mang is a master.
Mostly because I'm smart, okay?
Get the point directly.
In fact,
After I talked to Lu Mang about the new plan,
I'm inspired.
I think I can make a program and plan it myself.
There you go. One idea a day.
Just go back to the production and now try to switch to the plan.
Grab both sides.
I want to be like Wu Guoji.
Every plan is excellent.
However,
I need to be enlightened gradually.
Sure.
Let's get over this one first.
Here's your rice noodle.
Let's eat first.
Enjoy your meal.
I'll tell you about my new idea while we eat.
You can help me with it.
Wu Guoji wants to make an advanced All In.
Lu Mang wants to realize the topic of science and technology powerful country.
I just thought about Geng Shuai, the manufacturing king,
who was popular in Weibo before.
You know?
The one who uses a kitchen knife as a comb.
The welder who put the glass in the bottle.
Isn't that funny?
No, it's not just funny.
He's the beginning of the Made-in-China innovation.
I've got a name for the show.
Made-in-China.
We say Made-in-China every day.
They say we lack in creativity.
Why?
The four great inventions were all made by us.
How come Made-in-China doesn't work?
For what?
You're quite right.
That does sound exciting.
Did you talk to Lu Mang?
Did he give you any advice?
I haven't told him yet.
I want to think it over.
I'll talk to him when I have an outline.
Sure.
Let's get over this first.
I don't want to eat.
Is it too spicy?
My stomach is uncomfortable.
Maybe my stomachache comes again.
I'll get you some hot water.
No, just sit down.
Hot water doesn't work.
I'll just take two Talcid later.
But I don't know if there's a pharmacy nearby.
I'll get it for you.
No.
It's too much trouble, don't go.
You have to take it.
Really, don't go.
Don't...
Please give her some hot water.
Okay.
Thanks.
Hello.
What do you want?
Excuse me.
Any medicine that cures stomachache?
Here.
Better?
Better.
I tell you.
It's just too spicy for you.
Come on, just eat.
Is the water still hot?
You.
I asked you to have less hot and you refused.
Don't you know about your own stomach?
I know, don't blame me.
I'll take care next time.
Don't worry.
Eat more.
You are so careless. I can't leave you for one day.
I'm sure you haven't been eating properly lately.
All right, let's go.
Let's go.
Don't you have work this afternoon?
Eat more.
Or I get you another bowl.
No,
it's too hot outside.
I'll buy some in the convenience store later.
Let's go.
All right.
There is also an infusion in it.
If you feel uncomfortable, don't take too much.
Take it only when you have to.
Let's go.
- Thanks. - Bye.
Leader.
Go away.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Don't do this again.
I can't stand him bullying you.
You're punished for people like him.
It's not worth it.
Something can be tolerated, some are not.
You should trust me to handle this.
I do.
But you don't have to try so hard.
I know there's been rumors
to develop some delayed big projects,
the company will cut some small projects
including variety shows and self-media accounts.
Shen Ying,
you can find another job if you lose it.
But you can't just let your job...
That's what I have to do.
You will support me right?
Sure.
I'll stay without hurting myself.
You are my true friend at YO Media.
I just made a bottle of Astragalus tea.
Thanks.
Yin Zhiyao, President Yin.
He's been telling me a lot lately
that Lu Mang is the most trustworthy.
It's a nice place.
A large space for us to arrange.
Wu, I prefer the other studio.
We're taping it on Saturday.
In fact, the time for us to prepare is limited.
That studio has better equipment.
We don't need to make too many changes.
In fact, when filming,
the size of the space will not differ too much.
Small space will make it easier to get attention.
Right?
Sure.
It's your call.
Eating bread again?
Any problem?
Thanks.
I knew Shen Ying is a smart girl
who can figure things out.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Don't eat bread.
It's bad for the stomach.
Let's have dinner together.
No.
Thank you, Hui.
Keep your distance.
Clever move.
Leader.
We may have to stay up tonight.
Wu Guoji raised the budgets.
He said the outline design has to be done today.
The workers can't sleep, either.
They need two shifts.
You go to watch it first.
I'm sending the construction plans to your phone.
I'll be there at 10:00 p.m.
You can catch the last bus home.
And Wu Guoji?
He still wants to try to convince
the two companies without willingness.
But I don't think there's much hope.
Then, did he look at the plan I sent you?
Yes, he did.
He stuck to his ideas.
All right, don't worry.
We have rehearsals tomorrow and the next day.
If something goes wrong, we can change it.
It's like a joke.
What?
The birth of a show
is full of trial and error.
Maybe it'll die in the cradle.
It's like gambling.
The essence of the program is to adapt to the times and people's hearts.
Explore the innovation in form
is what we have to do.
Wu Guoji has been in the industry for so long.
He still have the courage for trial and error.
And accept the likely disastrous outcome.
In a sense, he's right.
Since we're here to help him.
we are a team.
Now what we're going to do
is to work on the planned projects.
Applaud for the process.
Pay for the results.
Well, I'll go to work.
