(Episode 11)

(This is a gift I specially prepared.)

Is this a gift from Fang Jin?

It seems like the gift from Fang Jin

matches your taste.

Dr. Fang is knowledgeable, diligent,

thoughtful, kind, and interesting.

She's not the rumored nerd at all.

Seems like Mr. Tang really admires Fang Jin.

Who wouldn't admire

such an outstanding and smart woman?

Guan Shengyu.

Fang Jin is both smart and capable.

How did she end up marrying such a jerk?

Guan Shengyu doesn't deserve Dr. Fang.

When Fang Jin divorces Guan Shengyu,

she'll be free.

You won't have to worry about Guan Shengyu.

You and Fang Jin can do whatever you want.

What are you talking about?

I purely admire

and respect Dr. Fang.

Sorry.

I was talking about the fiber elastic mesh.

Without Guan Shengyu,

you and Fang Jin

can do whatever you want about it.

I know.

You two are like brilliant minds admiring each other,

with absolutely no other intention.

Do you still like Su Miao?

Thanks.

I enjoy role-playing.

You're always welcome to let me have fun.

Thanks to your cleverness,

we tricked Tang Qi

with the shadow.

I make a living from this.

It's an old trick, not fresh at all.

Chengcheng is a real genius.

She successfully played Dr. Fang Jin.

She's a genius?

There were flaws everywhere.

I asked her to study the data,

but she couldn't memorize it.

She kept talking about makeup.

Also, how could Fang Jin be as silly as Chengcheng?

She was about to shake hands with Tang Qi,

talking about how heroes see eye to eye.

A real touch of the underworld.

Did Tang Qi doubt it?

Tang Qi had never seen Fang Jin,

so he thought she was just like that.

Do you still like Su Miao?

Do I still like Su Miao?

You two are like brilliant minds admiring each other,

with absolutely no other intention.

Su Miao,

where are you?

Because of work,

I met

a very outstanding woman,

Dr. Fang Jin.

Her professional quality impressed me.

Su Chengcheng asked me,

"Do you still like Su Miao?"

I was really angry.

Su Chengcheng thought I was mad at her,

but actually, at that moment,

I was a bit flustered.

I was mad at myself.

Because when I worked with Fang Jin,

I actually forgot about you.

I angrily scolded Su Chengcheng

for sprouting nonsense,

but in fact,

I couldn't face my true self.

I should have scolded myself.

Su Miao.

It seems like I'm about to forget you.

Tang Qi.

You're a jerk.

A jerk who falls in love with everyone he meets.

How could you be like this?

(Wasn't the meeting with Fang Jin yesterday)

(very pleasant?)

Why do you look so out of spirits?

Last night, I watched an old movie

with my girlfriend,

called "City of Angels".

The female lead died.

My girlfriend cried her eyes out.

Later, she insisted on asking me

whether I'd live alone for the rest of my life like the male lead

if one day she suddenly died.

(Is it because I mentioned Su Miao last night?)

(Seems Tang Qi still can't forget Su Miao.)

Come in.

Mr. Tang,

you probably didn't have breakfast.

I brought you breakfast.

It's organic and healthy.

We're just ordinary colleagues.

Do ordinary colleagues

exchange breakfast now?

My sister asked me to do this.

Yesterday's gift was from Fang Jin.

This is from my sister.

No need, take it back.

Tang, Guan Shengyu has decided

to sell the elastic mesh patent to Vandai.

According to reliable sources,

they'll sign the contract this morning.

Tang?

I'll contact Fang Jin now

to discuss what to do.

(Tang Qi)

I'm not available to take calls now.

Is this about Guan Shengyu and Vandai?

Fang Jin already knows?

What are her plans?

Qingli and I just discussed it.

We have an idea,

but we need your help.

(Tang Qi) No problem.

What do you need me to do?

We'll need you to have a cup of coffee.

Those who are willing will bite the hook.

Dr. Fang surprises me everywhere.

The Marketing Department

will pay for the coffee.

Remember to get ready.

We need to visit Mr. Zhang this afternoon.

If you want to give the best product to the customers,

you need the best manufacturers.

Alright.

Hello, Mr. Tang.

I've arrived at Vandai.

What?

You and Ms. Xiang

are meeting at the café downstairs?

Now?

- Well. - It's done.

OK, I'll keep it confidential.

I'm coming now.

(Fiber Elastic Mesh Synthesis Process)

(Fiber Technology)

Thank you.

Tang Qi, you're ruining my plans again.

Qingli.

Mr. Tang is running off to drink coffee

during work hours?

Can't I be here?

Sure, no problem.

I heard you're meeting Ms. Xiang here.

Is that right?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I'm just here for a cup of coffee.

Stop pretending.

I'm meeting Ms. Xiang too.

We can have coffee together

and then head to the conference room.

Sir, what would you like to drink?

No need, the same as him.

OK, just a moment.

(Vandai)

Hello.

I'm Fang Jin from Xinnan Technology.

I'd like to meet with Ms. Xiang.

Dr. Fang Jin,

are you with Mr. Guan?

Yes.

But Mr. Guan can't be here now.

He'll be a little late.

Ms. Xiang is in the conference room.

Please follow me.

What's going on with Guan Shengyu?

He urged us to discuss it,

but now he's late.

Could it be a negotiation tactic?

He's putting psychological pressure on us

to get us to raise the price.

Should I contact Mr. Guan?

Ms. Xiang, Xinnan Technology is here.

Sorry, Ms. Xiang.

Ms. Xiang, I'm Fang Jin from Xinnan Technology.

I'm sorry for being late today.

Dr. Fang Jin?

I've long heard of you.

I didn't expect you to come today.

Nice to meet you.

We've been following your research.

We take this cooperation

very seriously and look forward to it.

Dr. Fang Jin.

Her reputation in the industry is well-known.

Ms. Xiang, you're impressive too.

It's an honor

to get your approval.

People in the industry say Dr. Fang Jin

is aloof and dedicated to research.

But today, it doesn't seem true.

You're both smart and sweet.

Where is Mr. Guan? Why isn't he here?

Ms. Xiang, I'm here today

to tell you face-to-face

that I cannot sell this patent to your company.

(Dr. Fang Jin) I've talked with Ms. Xiang.

Everything went smoothly.

Hello, the bill, please.

That gentleman came uninvited.

He's not my friend.

Alright.

We'll settle his bill

later.

Wait. What do you mean?

Ms. Xiang isn't coming, huh?

You're lying to me, right?

I never said Ms. Xiang was coming.

I told you there was a misunderstanding.

I'm just here for a cup of coffee.

Tang Qi, are you messing with me?

Sir, you haven't paid the bill.

(Melody Coffee)

- Is this okay? - Sure.

Dr. Fang, though we can't cooperate this time,

please make sure to consider us

for your future research.

OK.

Thank you for your understanding.

I should thank you

for telling us the truth.

- It's nothing. - Ms. Xiang.

I'm really sorry I'm late.

I was set up by a schemer,

so I'm late.

Sorry, sorry.

It's not too late. Our cooperation has been canceled.

Canceled?

What do you mean?

I just told the truth.

Ms. Xiang,

you must not let her fool you.

Did she say I cheated while married?

Did she say I abused her?

These are one-sided accusations.

She's just slandering me,

and I have evidence.

I can prove that she was the one who abused me.

Wait, Ms. Xiang.

Ms. Xiang...

You better explain this,

or you'll get nothing.

Do you hear me?

Ow.

What?

Are you okay?

I didn't push her.

I didn't try to hurt her.

She did it on purpose.

She set me up

so I was late today.

She's slandering me in front of you...

Dr. Fang didn't say anything bad about you.

She didn't even mention her personal matters.

She only told us

that the design of the elastic mesh has flaws

and needs time to improve.

On the contrary, Mr. Guan...

I didn't expect this to happen.

Yeah.

Fang Jin, stop pretending.

You ruined my plans.

So what?

What can you do to me?

What can I do to you?

It hurts!

Stop hitting me, okay?

I was wrong. Please stop hitting me.

What are you doing?

Don't hit me, please.

Please, stop hitting me.

When did I hit you?

Help.

It hurts! He's hitting me!

Shut up.

Help! He's hitting me!

Help!

Don't shout.

Help...

Are you hurt?

I...

I don't need your protection.

You do.

I don't.

You do.

I don't.

I'm still here.

What are you two doing?

Tang Qi, I've figured it out.

You gave up such a huge benefit

and tried to stop me multiple times.

So, you two...

You two have been together for a while, huh?

You two worked together against me.

Stop it!

- My arm, my arm! - Are you okay?

Let go! Let go!

I'll handle this.

You two should leave.

OK.

Who are you? Let go!

My arm hurts!

Go easy on me.

Alright, you two.

You'll regret this.

Follow me.

You're bad at fighting.

Don't try to act like a hero.

Should I just watch you get beaten?

What I need is a witness,

not a newbie fighter.

You did it on purpose back at Vandai?

Yeah, what else did you think?

I've been too nosy.

It's fine.

You were being kind.

It's just a small injury, nothing serious.

Are you going to meet with the manufacturer later?

Is that okay?

Don't worry. Since I've brought it up,

I can definitely help you sort it out.

This is medicine cosmetics.

It's all vitamin E.

It won't affect your wound.

I learned this

from a makeup competition show.

There was an episode

dedicated to covering wounds.

You like makeup shows?

Yeah.

I work in cosmetics tools.

How could I do research without knowing makeup?

OK.

Take a look.

You can't tell at all

unless you look up close, right?

Why are you looking at me?

What's on my face?

I...

By the way,

how did you know

I'm meeting the manufacturer later?

You said so.

Before you went to the café,

you talked to me about Guan Shengyu and mentioned it.

I said that?

You did.

You're just too focused

on the Air Fiber Elastic Mesh patent

so you got flustered.

It's okay.

Sometimes when people get nervous,

they don't know what they're saying.

I got flustered.

I got flustered.

No matter how complicated the elastic mesh is,

we can produce it.

But no matter what we produce,

it needs to be arranged in advance.

Mr. Zhang is right.

We came here early

to discuss it with you properly.

You can't even decide

whether it's a multi-layered fiber elastic mesh

or an Air Fiber Elastic Mesh.

The Air Fiber Elastic Mesh's indicators

are still uncertain.

You're not sure of anything.

How am I supposed to arrange production?

After all,

you're not our only client.

Yes, yes.

I know this is indeed difficult,

so we invited Dr. Tang

to explain

the Air Fiber Elastic Mesh.

Yes.

To provide our customers with a better experience,

the developer of the elastic mesh

hopes we can give her more time.

Mr. Zhang, please give us more time.

Yes.

Mr. Gu, Mr. Tang,

I admire you both.

I also want to help you,

but in business terms,

we really can't take this order.

Wait.

Fanfan, why are you here?

Mr. Zhang.

Dad, I just wanted to see you.

I'll go to read comics.

Sure.

Dad,

I want to do some sketching this weekend.

Alright, I'll take you to the suburbs.

The nanny said

Fanfan cried secretly after looking

(To: Fanfan) at each signed book

and then came here to see you.

(To: Fanfan)

I didn't expect Mr. Gu to be so thoughtful.

Thank you.

I don't deserve the credit.

It's Fanfan who has great taste.

She likes an author

who's both kind and talented.

To be honest,

why do I work so hard for money?

Isn't it to make my family live better?

As long as my daughter is happy,

I'm happier than if I earned money.

Dr. Tang is being serious

for the sake of the customers.

I'm confident in your long-term development.

For this order, I can lose some benefits

and adjust the production plan to cooperate with you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

This has caused a lot of trouble for the company.

Thank you for this.

Isn't that how business works?

Troubles always come

right after another.

I actually want to thank you for causing trouble

because it gave me the chance to get to know Lin Yuan.

What did Lin Yuan do

that made Mr. Zhang change his attitude so drastically?

Lin Yuan?

All the books are signed.

(To: Fanfan)

(To: Fanfan)

(To: Fanfan)

Did you sign every single one like this?

Is there a problem?

No.

But with so many books,

isn't it troublesome?

It's very fast for me.

Are you this careful

with every reader?

Of course not.

I'm China's best-selling comic author,

with over a million readers.

If I signed like this for every reader,

I wouldn't have time to create.

Thank you for going through so much trouble for me.

I...

It's not about me?

Then why?

Fanfan reminds me of myself.

(To: Fanfan)

Stop overthinking.

My parents are healthy and will live long lives.

I...

I'm sorry.

I just rarely see your parents in the photos.

My mom moved to Sichuan for love,

but when I was seven, their relationship broke down.

My parents divorced,

and I was tossed around like a ball.

Later, they both remarried.

My dad took his wife to Canada,

and my mom went to France with her husband.

Now, they both have kids

and are happy.

What about you?

I'm doing well, too.

Fanfan is just afraid

that after losing her mom, she'll lose her dad as well.

So, she became like a little hedgehog.

I just used my art to tell her

that her dad loves her very much,

and she won't lose him.

No matter who you're doing this for,

I've received your kindness.

You're welcome.

My heroine is waiting for you.

I won't disappoint her.

You have saved it, right?

All her hard work was gone,

but Lin Yuan only felt down for a little while

before she cheered up again.

So, we should thank Lin Yuan for this too.

Yeah.

What's wrong with you?

You messed up Guan Shengyu,

and the deal with Mr. Zhang is settled.

Why do you still look so troubled?

It's nothing.

Why not make a call

and ask Fang Jin out?

Let's celebrate together tonight.

No.

Obviously, something's troubling you.

What's going on between you and Fang Jin?

I...

I...

Fang Jin made me a little flustered.

Aren't you going to say something?

What's there to say?

It's not like I made you flustered.

It's natural for a man

to feel something about a woman.

Su Miao's bones aren't even cold,

and I've fallen for someone else.

I've just realized

that I'm such a jerk.

I've only just realized that too.

What did you say?

Nothing. Maybe your feelings for Su Miao

were just shallow affection.

Since Su Miao is gone so quickly,

you've mistaken an illusion for real feelings.

No.

I know that's not it.

Then maybe your feelings for Fang Jin

are just an illusion.

After spending more time with her,

you'll realize

you've mistaken sympathy for love.

Stop the car.

Stop the car.

What are you doing?

I'm going to see Fang Jin.

(DiDi)

I...

I was just trying to comfort you

since you looked so miserable.

- Let's go, Linlin. - Let's go.

- We're leaving, Yi. - Bye.

- Bye. - Bye.

Now, it's just you and Yi on your team,

so it's not so easy to slack off.

Work hard.

Xu Yue speaks like this all the time.

Don't take it to heart.

It's my fault.

I've taken too many leaves

and left a bad impression on everyone.

I believe you must have your reasons.

Thanks.

Dr. Fang, are you off work?

Would you like to have dinner tonight?

Sorry, I need to work overtime tonight.

I'm heading to your lab now to find you.

It won't take too much of your time.

Yi, I need to take a leave.

Something urgent came up, so I can't work overtime.

I know I promised I'd be available anytime...

Go ahead.

I've said I believe

that you must have a valid reason.

I'll make sure I don't hold up work.

I'm leaving now.

Please shut down the computer.

Thank you.

Su Chengcheng?

Please come in.

I just saw Su Chengcheng downstairs.

She should be here to see you.

Chengcheng?

You must've seen it wrong.

She didn't say she was coming today.

The back looked like her.

You haven't had dinner yet, right?

I brought takeout for you.

Sorry, I dropped by suddenly.

Is there something urgent?

Well.

I've got some technical issues I can't figure out

to ask you for advice.

Technical issues?

Well, I'm hungry.

How about we eat first?

Alright.

Are you working overtime alone?

Without any researchers with you?

When you said you'd come,

I asked everyone to leave first.

OK, thanks.

Actually, I should be thanking you.

Thank you for bringing me

such a nice dinner.

(Don't avoid it.)

(Get to know her better, )

(and I'll realize it's just an illusion.)

(Tang Qi looks so eager for knowledge.)

(Looks like this issue is difficult.)

(As long as I don't look at him, )

(he won't notice me.)

Dr. Fang.

It's delicious.

(I'm eating.)

(I'm just eating.)

Why did the power go out suddenly?

I'll go check what's happening.

(Door)

No power here either.

The door lock is electronic. We can't get out.

Can you contact the property management?

I rarely do that.

Let me check.

You two...

You're good at hiding this, huh?

This time,

I'll expose you both.

(Angry Sister)

(Property Management)

Got it.

Hello?

The power is out in the lab.

There's an electrical fault

for an unknown reason.

The power staff is coming to fix it.

Please stay in a safe place

and wait for a while.

OK, thank you.

Looks like we'll have to wait.

Don't worry. The power will be back soon.

(I'm not worried.)

(The computer can't start without power.)

(So, no matter what you ask, )

(I can always say there's no data, )

(and I can't explain it now.)

It's so dark.

I don't even know what I'm eating.

Our phones are out of power.

We'll both be unreachable soon.

Wait a moment.

A lot of dead batteries still have some power.

You're amazing.

I didn't expect you to be so humorous.

No.

I really think you're amazing.

Dr. Fang.

You must be better

at such a simple physics experiment than I am.

Yes, yes.

I'm Dr. Fang.

Dr. Tang, please.

Dr. Fang, please.

Let's eat.

This beef tendon is really good.

I like this dish from their place too.

Try some of this.

Do you like it?

Yes.

Would you like more?

Yes.

Come in, come in.

You two, I knew you had something going on.

I'll definitely ruin you both.
