("Shaky Human World" documentary) (Give me this booklet.)

(One for knowledge, and one for delight.)

(Why give it to you?)

(As a graduation keepsake.)

Hello, Mr. Yu, anything?

Xiaoxiao.

Where is Lin Sa signing the contract?

Are you okay?

Don't go.

Don't go.

Alright?

No one's here now.

Tell me the reason.

The reason?

A better opportunity.

Better salary.

Hmph.

You won't gain anything at all.

Why?

The reason headhunters approached you

is that you've achieved results,

but your achievements are all because of my designs.

Without my designs,

you wouldn't survive in Beijing.

I could find a designer

as outstanding as you in Beijing.

Have you found one in all these years?

You mean

everything I have today

is because of you?

No.

Without you,

I can't make it either.

All these years,

I've been focused on my own creations.

I couldn't handle those unhappy couples,

or annoying clients.

But you could.

So we are partners.

The best partners.

And you've learned to compliment me.

I'm quite flattered.

Be serious.

Are you still going?

Alright, I understand.

Let me think it over.

(Yu Yu Design Studio)

Everyone, I'm here.

- Ms. Lin. - Ms. Lin.

You're back, Ms. Lin.

Ms. Lin, you're not leaving?

Right, I'm staying.

Did the company in Beijing reject you?

I took the offer letter from Beijing

to talk to our company executives.

As soon as they heard I was leaving,

they immediately promoted me.

I'm now responsible for all designers in the whole region.

About the position...

Director of Design Operations.

Wow, Ms. Lin, you're amazing.

You actually forced the company to promote you.

This shows them my true value.

Mr. Yu.

Call me Director Lin.

Director Lin.

- Hello, Director Lin. - Hello, Director Lin.

But speaking of which, Ms. Lin,

even though you're staying,

you're no longer in charge of us.

Isn't that like leaving?

Then who will be responsible for me and Mr. Yu?

Miss Wang Xiaoxiao.

Me?

Yes.

Starting today,

you take over my previous role.

They are handed to you.

Then I got promoted, too.

Thank you, Director Lin!

Tch!

After taking care of Wu, I also have to manage Wang Xiaoxiao.

So troublesome.

Both of them have improved now.

Only you are left.

Good luck, Mr. Yu.

I'll add you on WeChat.

Our store has many events recently.

I'll send them to you.

Alright, thanks.

Okay.

Sent, all done.

Alright, bye.

Bye.

What's wrong? Thinking about something?

Wu already told me

that Ms. Lin didn't leave.

She even got promoted.

She became even more powerful.

I really envy her so much.

When will I

also be able to handle things so easily?

President Xia.

Do you want stinky tofu for lunch today

or river snail rice noodles?

Stop dreaming.

You should hurry up and find a reliable boyfriend.

Fine.

A perfect boyfriend,

and a perfect roommate.

Which one should I choose?

Why can't you have both?

Hello?

Who is it?

My ex.

Xiaoman.

It's me.

I already said we broke up.

When did we ever say we broke up?

But that's not important.

You know what?

While you were gone,

I really changed a lot.

I quit my old job.

I got a new one.

I bought a car.

I'm even planning to buy a house.

We're not suitable.

We are. How are we not suitable?

That's it.

Xiaoman.

Xiaoman.

Let's get back together.

Get back together for what?

I'm begging you.

I already said we broke up. Don't you understand?

I'll kneel for you, okay?

Go away.

Let's go. Come with me.

Mr. Yu.

- What's wrong? - Help me.

Who are you?

Who is he?

You...

Is he your new lover?

See? You haven't changed at all!

- Get lost! - You get lost!

No. You get lost.

Stop harassing her, or I'll call the police.

Call the police for what?

Pick that up.

Mind your own business, huh?

Pick it up.

Go. Hurry, go.

My nose is broken!

I'm gonna kill you!

How dare you hit someone!

How dare you hit someone!

I was saving a damsel in distress!

You're a designer.

If you act like this, who will hire you?

(Americano) Usually, I already clean up your mess.

Now I have to pay fines at the police station to bail you out.

Do you know you were wrong?

Your memory's pretty good.

That's exactly what I yelled at Wu before.

Mr. Yu, do you know you were wrong?

Come back.

Do you know you were wrong?

I was wrong.

Coffee. Triple shot.

Xiaoxiao, learn from this.

That's how you tame these two from now on.

How did he still find this place after so long?

It's terrifying.

It really is a little scary.

Do you think I need to change apartments?

Change for what?

Why should you hide from him?

I'm telling you, if he dares come again,

I'll slap him twice.

What is all this nonsense?

(Property Office) The property office

sent over the surveillance video.

Let me see.

- Move. - Hey, let me see.

Cast it to the screen.

Okay.

(Mr. Yu!)

(Help me!)

(What's wrong?)

(Who are you?)

(Stop harassing her.)

(I'm calling the police.)

- (Why did you pull out your phone?) - (Pick it up.)

(Nonsense. Mind your own business.)

Rewind five seconds before that move.

Let me watch it again.

Mr. Yu's move is really amazing.

Hey, play it again.

I want to see.

- (Pick it up for me.) - (I won't.)

(Mind your own business, huh?)

I think...

I like Mr. Yu.

Now that I think about it,

he's always been helping me.

When I was drunk,

he climbed such a high balcony

just to save me.

When I had appendicitis,

he was the one who took me to the hospital.

Even though he hates dogs,

he still helped me take care of Dao.

(Bill details) When I had no money

to pay the property fee,

he even scolded my uncle.

He even humbled himself to ask around for help selling the car.

You know his character.

Whenever he makes a mistake,

apologizing is such a struggle for him.

It's hard to imagine...

For me,

he has to beg people for help. It must have been so painful.

Now, whenever something happens,

I'm not worried at all.

I just think...

Mr. Yu will definitely help me.

Before,

I always wanted to find a man I could rely on,

someone who could take care of me.

But...

I didn't expect it would be him.

♪Falling in love with someone who doesn't come home♪

But you've fallen in love with someone who won't let you into his home.

I like him.

Love is the next step.

The next step should be to confess to him first.

Confess?

I'm afraid he'll ridicule me to death.

Exactly, you already know what kind of person he is.

Why do you still like him?

I'm the only one who knows how good he is.

Like he's my little treasure.

Don't you think this feeling is really thrilling?

Well...

He's really handsome.

I swear,

I'll never meet a better man than him again.

Good.

Those guys...

What is all this?

Comparing goods makes you throw them away.

Comparing people makes you die.

If anyone speaks badly of him again, I'm leaving the group.

Wow, okay, fine.

Since you're so obsessed, I won't stop you.

Excuse me.

One glass of whiskey.

Right, Dao?

Come. For this lady.

Miss, your whiskey.

Don't drink that cocktail.

Just finish this whiskey, okay?

Before you decide he's the only one for you,

hurry and confess to him.

Don't care about the results.

Just go for it, okay?

Okay.

Don't care about the results!

Hi, would you like to subscribe to daily fresh milk?

If you subscribe, you'll get a laundry detergent set.

I don't spit up milk.

No, I didn't mean that.

Sorry.

The woman behind you looks like she's about to vomit.

Go ask her to subscribe.

You actually subscribed.

What's going on?

Oh, no.

Turn around.

The alcohol is too strong.

I just want to thank you.

Thank me for what?

Just for taking care of me and helping me all the time.

So?

Oh, okay.

I knew you liked me.

I...

Maybe I like you, I guess.

So you didn't really like me.

You foodie.

Hmph.

It's true.

Turn around.

The alcohol is too strong.

If it's true,

what would you think?

If it's true, then it's true.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

What kind of attitude is this?

What attitude do I have?

You...

This is ridiculous.

I think I drank fake alcohol...

Fake alcohol? What?

With your tolerance, passing out after one glass is normal, isn't it?

Here, have some fruit.

So, did you confess?

Yes, I did.

Then...

What did he say?

He just said, "If you like, then like."

That's definitely his style.

What do you think he means?

Who knows?

Do you think he accepted me?

Hard to say.

It's all your fault for making me drink so much.

I finally confessed at his doorstep,

and I don't remember all his reactions.

I don't even remember his tone.

Alright.

Don't cry.

This is also why I didn't want you to go then.

Think about it. He already knows you like him.

Then why hasn't he reacted at all?

Why?

Because he doesn't like you.

He just wants to be friends.

Lately, you've really been too carried away,

too impulsive.

If you keep this up,

you might do something you'll regret.

Then tell me, what should I do?

Well...

Our company is doing training soon.

We'll have to stay in Beijing for a month.

I think you can change your environment,

and your mood.

Then, after you calm down, you can think about what to do.

Why is my allowance so low this month again?

Are you deliberately saying this in front of my brother?

Thinking I'd lose face?

Hoping for more? Dream on.

Yu,

say a few words for me.

What did I tell you to do?

Yu.

Oh.

Get a divorce, huh?

I wasted a meal on you.

Have you heard about Mom going to a nursing home?

I didn't know.

She did say that.

You knew it all along?

Then why didn't you persuade her?

Living at our house is so comfortable.

I also think it's fine.

It's just that she feels

that a mother-in-law living with her son-in-law

is a bit inappropriate.

How could that be?

We all welcome her.

Right, Honey?

Yes, we really do welcome her.

Welcome, right?

Alright, I'll invite her back.

Wait for a second.

We also have to consider her own thoughts.

Right?

It's all because of you.

If you got married,

Mom could live elsewhere.

Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law conflicts are also one reason I'm not marrying.

Just find a woman who won't quarrel with Mom.

- Is that impossible? - Where?

- Even if I found one, I wouldn't marry. - Why not?

Finally, a woman likes you, and you still won't marry.

A real man doesn't rely on others for allowance.

What?

You two are bickering.

What does it have to do with me?

Mr. Yu, it seems that the female client who wanted dough figurines

is pretty satisfied with your design.

She really made a set for you.

Why didn't she do it for me after paying her?

If you didn't like it,

you wouldn't accept these even if she pays you.

Hey,

Ms. Lin.

Congratulations to Mr. Yu.

What, Mr. Yu is expecting?

Mr. Yu has been shortlisted for Shanghai Annual Best Designer.

Wow.

So impressive, Mr. Yu.

I checked the other shortlisted candidates.

Mr. Yu winning this award is almost guaranteed.

(Invitation Letter)

It's just a small award.

If you think it's small, don't have to take it.

Honestly, I didn't really want to go.

But if you insist I go,

then I'll go.

The craftsmanship is really exquisite.

(Basics of Architectural Design)

I can't treat you anymore.

You need to see a neurologist.

Here.

Don't touch it. Just look.

I won't look.

Then I'll read it out loud.

Shanghai Annual Best Designer Awards Ceremony.

You won?

Of course I will.

So confident?

It's rigged?

No way.

This award,

is fair and open.

But the winner is definitely me.

Then I wish you all the best.

Why are you staring at me?

It's for you.

(Invitation Letter, Gu Yejia)

You want me to accompany you to the awards ceremony?

No, I just want to show you the world.

"If you really want to see the world,"

"I can take you."

You should have said that.

What's wrong, Mr. Yu?

Forgot your lines?

If you don't go,

then I won't go either.

What?

Why?

Your name is on it.

I can't give it to someone else.

If a stranger sat next to me,

I'd have to shake her hand properly when I win,

hug her, maybe even exchange WeChat.

I'd have to endure her admiring gaze,

asking me stupid questions.

But if it's you,

then it's fine.

Do I normally ask stupid questions?

See?

Then why didn't you take Lin Sa with you?

Hmph.

She's now Director Lin.

Not a match anymore.

So...

Beg me.

What?

Ms. Gu Yejia,

I want to formally invite you

to be my companion at the awards ceremony.

Alright.

Thank you.

Here you go.

- Okay. - Bye.

Bye.

(Shanghai Annual Designer Awards Ceremony.)

(It aims to recognize and reward designers)

(who perform exceptionally,)

(and who are innovative and extraordinary.)

(It's currently one of the most authoritative)

(and influential design awards in China.)

Wait, wait.

Hey, take pictures of her.

Let's go.

Why take pictures of me?

Only I know

your best angle.

Your face is big anyway.

You wouldn't die if you didn't finish the second half of the sentence.

(Shanghai Annual Best Designer Awards Ceremony)

Sign here.

Leave your mark in history.

(Yu)

(Gu Yejia, Yu Yu)

As expected from a doctor's handwriting.

(Gu Yejia)

I kind of regret coming with you now.

How could that be? It's good to see the world.

Mr. Yu, look this way.

Mr. Yu, over here.

Look at the camera, Mr. Yu.

Mr. Yu, over here.

Thank you.

Hello everyone, I'm Ou Yang.

I never expected

Receiving this award

is very meaningful to me.

It constantly reminds me

to maintain a newcomer's attitude,

without pressure,

without burden, and to move forward bravely.

Thank you all.

Next is the most suspenseful award,

Annual Best Designer.

(2023 Best Designer Nominees) Guess who it will be?

Please look at the big screen.

(Jin Yang, Yu Yu, Yan Leilei)

The winner

is Yu Yu.

Yu Yu's "Warm Zone" concept

has attracted widespread attention and discussion,

becoming a highlight in today's design world.

It not only demonstrates high professional standards,

but also

shows his deep understanding and leadership of future design trends.

Please welcome Yu Yu to the stage to receive the award.

Yu Yu.

On his application form, Mr. Yu described himself

as "I don't eat fish."

Yu Yu also wrote his personal motto,

"Yu Yu wishes for fish; the fish shall be Yu Yu's."

Yu Yu is quite witty.

Let us once again welcome Mr. Yu to the stage to accept his award.

(Yu Yu)

Mr. Yu, we've prepared many of your designs.

Please follow the big screen

and introduce your design insights to everyone.

I'm especially glad to stand here today,

(Lifestyle Aesthetics) not just because of this award,

but because I have the chance

to share the "Warm Zone" concept with more peers,

allowing more people to have warmer homes.

Everyone here is an insider.

Those who understand, naturally understand.

That's it.

Well said.

Great!

(Yu Yu)

Once you fly solo, you can slack off openly.

Exactly.

Wow.

Ou Yang won again.

Posting what?

Look.

(Ou Yang: 2023 Best Newcomer Award goes to me.)

(The next few years are bound to be extraordinary.)

Posting this, really?

Who cares about the Best Newcomer Award?

(Annual Best Designer) Look at mine.

Over a hundred likes already.

I also posted it on Moments.

I'll go like yours later.

Wow, Mr. Yu, your trophy is gorgeous.

Hey, Mr. Yu, you were so impressive yesterday.

Just a small thing.

Hey, why didn't you like my post?

Did you post it?

Did you see it?

Too busy at work to check Moments.

I'll take a look.

Signal's not great.

Remember to like it.

Okay.

You too. Give a like.

Got it.

All of you must like my post, got it?

(Yu Yu: Those who understand, understand.)

(2023 Best Designer Nominees)

What are you doing?

Hey, put it back.

What drama are you watching?

You should care more about national affairs.

(Breaking news. This city's Annual Designer Award, Best Designer,)

(goes to Yu Yu.)

(This event aims to honor designers)

(who have made outstanding contributions in the field,)

- (and to inspire more designers) - Yu Yu.

- (to pursue excellence and innovation.) - Is that you?

(That night, many renowned designers,)

(industry leaders and media representatives gathered together)

(to witness this moment of honor.)

(Each award-winning designer...)

- It's Yu. - Uncle.

So it really is you! You won!

(Their works not only show great artistic value...)

Mom, look. It's Yu.

It's Yejia.

It's Yejia.

You two have made up.

What?

You're back together, right?

- Don't talk nonsense. - Oh.

My son is amazing.

My son is wonderful.

Mom.

- Hey, Mom. - Grandma.

- Mom. - Grandma.

Mom, what's wrong?

Don't move.

Mild myocardial ischemia.

It's stable now.

With medication and a few days of rest, it'll be fine.

Don't worry, Dr. Gu is right.

Thank you, Dr. Gu.

Thank you.

- Alright, let's go get the medicine. - Okay.

- Let's go. - Yes.

Let's go, Xiao Taozi.

Come here.

Why did you scare Mrs. Yu?

She just saw me win an award,

and she was so happy,

then she fainted.

That's it?

What else could it be?

I feel like it's because of you.

Alright, stay here with her.

Call me if anything happens.

Don't worry.

Mrs. Yu is fine now.

I'm here.

Mom.

I'm fine.

I just saw the Naihe Bridge.

I was holding that bowl of soup,

and I was thinking,

my son isn't married yet.

I can't die like this.

Mom, don't be so superstitious.

I told Meng Po...

I can't go.

I have to go back.

My son isn't married yet.

He hasn't started a family.

If I die like this,

what will he do?

Who will take care of him?

So I made a deal with Meng Po.

I'll come after my son gets married, okay?

Meng Po is really kind.

She drank the soup herself.

She also told me,

"Go back."

"I'll forget that you were here."

You're just too young.

You can't understand the feeling

of loneliness when one gets old.

Hey, this retirement home is nice.

(Pudong Premium Senior Community) Did you do this interior design?

- Yes. - It's great.

I plan to move in.

What?

Why not stay at Yu Jie's place?

That's Zhong Liangchuan's home.

It's not good to bother them.

I'll just live well

and keep taking care of you.

I don't want to live in a retirement home with you.

It's too expensive.

Thank you.

The only person who can hear a "thank you" from you directly

is Mrs. Yu.

I realize something about you.

The more you care about someone,

the more easily you anger them.

That's not a good habit.

If you lose them,

you'll regret it.

Here comes another lecture.

What's this?

It's a bag, sealed shut.

Not funny.

Oh.

Oh, right.

(Those who understand, understand.) Why did you like my post on Moments?

Can't I like your post on Moments?

Hurry up and undo it!

Why should I undo it?

Don't you think it looks messy like this?

Kind of awkward?

What?

(Yu Yu: Those who understand, understand.)

Alright, I'll undo it.

Watch carefully. It's undone.

Feel better now?

Much better.

I think it's strange.

If a few more people liked it,

wouldn't it be complete?

I get it now.

You only have a few friends in total.

No way.

It's just that some friends

haven't added me on WeChat yet.
