[From the bottom of my heart: 30 years of experience in chest surgery]

Be careful. [From the bottom of my heart: 30 years of experience in chest surgery]

Be careful.

Thank you.

I like this book very much too.

The book says,

thoracic surgeons

approach surgery with extreme caution,

but they must be bold enough to make the incision.

Yes, just one millimeter away under the endoscope

could be variant blood vessels and arteries.

Thoracic surgery

is all about who makes fewer misjudgments,

and it requires even more precision.

I feel there's still so much to learn.

Senior, are you also a thoracic surgeon?

[Episode 24] [But I don't want myself to be a leverage to force you.]

This isn't for you.

It's for him.

Just pretend

you don't know anything.

Give him a push.

Want some late-night snack?

I'm sick of egg pancakes.

How can you still eat them?

It's very stress-relieving.

I heard from Yu Zhecheng

that the surgery is extremely difficult.

Not even a 0.0001% error is allowed.

That's exaggerated.

But it is a bit challenging.

You haven't been in the operating room for years,

and now you're facing such a difficult surgery.

Are you under a lot of pressure?

Well, everything has a start.

Alright, forget about it.

If you're tired of eggs,

I can make quail egg pancakes for you next time.

No way.

Keep that away from me.

Just have one. It's not bad.

I won't eat it.

I don't want to eat.

No, no, no.

Why are you so hungry?

Then I'll eat it myself.

I'm really going to throw up if I eat any more of those eggs.

Do you think I should keep pretending

like I don't know anything?

Didn't you already make up your mind?

I think Xing Zhizhi's sister is right.

Maybe we really should give him a push.

It's hard for people to take the first step on their own.

Otherwise, it'll just be like

boiling a frog in warm water,

and the days will just slip by.

How is Xing Zhizhi doing now?

He must be under a lot of pressure, I guess.

He peels egg shells every night when he comes back.

If this continues,

both our cholesterol levels will be off the charts.

Xiaoxiao, is there any song you'd like to listen to?

Okay, let me see

how Dr. Xing's

taste in music is.

Bulldog clamp control.

What's this?

[Bulldog clamp control]

I've been living here for so long.

How come I've never seen these before?

All these.

These are all thoracic surgery materials,

and they're all from recent years.

So,

he's always wanted to return to the operating table.

Right, just like this.

-Put it in and wait for 20 minutes. -Okay.

Look at you.

Look at how burnt these are.

You should have added some water

and put them in the oven.

You don't have any common sense of life.

How can you get married like this?

I'm not learning baking to get married.

[Mic on] [Speaker on] [Camera on]

You're just being stubborn. [Mic on] [Speaker on] [Camera on]

[Mic on] [Speaker on] [Camera on]

Aren't you doing all this for Xing? [Mic on] [Speaker on] [Camera on]

Aren't you doing all this for Xing?

Isn't it because Xing said last time

that he liked eating this?

No, it's made for other men.

What did you say?

What are you talking about?

You can't do that. I'm telling you.

Where can you find someone as good as Xing?

Alright, stop guessing.

What, you're going to lecture me even while

teaching me to make a cake?

I'm not a child anymore.

Fine, fine, fine. I'll leave you to it.

Do whatever you want.

I'll leave you to it.

How are things going with your company?

Mom,

if one day I leave the company

and end up in debt, what will you do?

So what?

Never mind.

I don't need you to support me anyway.

If I don't, who will?

What are you mumbling about?

You're right.

You have a son and a husband.

You don't need me at all.

Do you even know

how to talk nicely?

Do you have any conscience?

Let me tell you,

Xing is much better compared to you.

Xing's

so understanding.

He understands my

hardships all these years.

[Mic on] [Speaker on] [Camera on] hardships all these years.

[Mic on] [Speaker on] [Camera on]

What about you? [Mic on] [Speaker on] [Camera on]

[Mic on] [Speaker on] [Camera on]

Whenever you make any decision, [Mic on] [Speaker on] [Camera on]

have you ever discussed with me? [Mic on] [Speaker on] [Camera on]

have you ever discussed with me?

Never. You always make decisions on your own.

Alright,

then let Xing be your son.

You think I don't want that?

I really wish

my child was like Xing,

such an understanding son.

You already have Xiaocheng.

Why do you need so many sons?

Alright, I know what to do.

I'll hang up now.

I really wonder

how Xing Zhizhi enchanted my mom.

I made it myself.

Try it.

Good for you.

Is this edible?

Yes.

Try it.

Stop staring at me.

This is... embarrassing.

Are you going to eat it or not?

I'll eat it.

How is it?

Is it good?

It's okay.

-Really? -Yes.

It's alright.

Just a bit burnt.

Do you remember?

You came to the cafe where I was working

to buy a cake that year.

Hello, waitress.

Um...

Hello, we're already closed.

I just want a piece of chocolate cake, that's all.

I'm sorry, we're sold out of cake.

Why don't you come back tomorrow?

Okay.

-Bye. -Bye.

Bye.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

I think rather than that,

you might need this more.

[Ren Siqi, Artist Director]

I'll wait for your call.

Bye.

At that time, I thought,

"Where did this con artist come from?"

I gave you this cake today

to thank you

for helping me out when I was at my lowest point.

Well,

this is so mushy. Don't be like this.

If you have something to say, just say it, okay?

What's all this about?

Ren Siqi,

I've been thinking a lot these past few days.

I really can't get over this in my heart.

I really can't accept

that someone is using me to threaten Xing Zhizhi,

forcing him to do something he doesn't want to do.

You've guided me in this industry for five years,

teaching me so many things.

I will go to Li Changjiang myself

and make things clear with him.

The bet and

the surgery

are completely separate matters.

I can't let Xing Zhizhi sacrifice himself because of me.

If one day Xing Zhizhi wants

to accept this surgery,

I hope it will be of his own free will.

As for you

and Xingyi,

whether I renew my contract or not

and no matter what I do in the future,

I'll always be there for Xingyi.

Qin Fei, do you know

what your decision

means?

I do.

This cake you made

is a bit expensive.

[Toilet]

Zhizu. [Toilet]

Zhizu.

I heard you're planning to return to the operating table.

Xiaofei tipped you off again, didn't she?

I heard you stay up every night,

peeling eggshells.

Take it easy.

Don't be too hard on yourself.

I'm fine.

How are you and Qin Fei

doing lately?

Has she

said anything to you?

What do you mean?

What would she tell me?

Nothing. I'm hanging up.

Through all the ups and downs,

we've grown together.

I'm grateful for all that Xingyi

has done for me over the years.

Be grateful for the past

and start anew.

I wish Xingyi all the best in the future

and even greater success.

[Qin Xiaofei] [Xing Zhizhi]

Have a seat.

She's diagnosed with

pulmonary inflammatory

myofibroblastic tumor,

and it only accounts for

0.4% of all lung tumors.

The growth location is not good.

We've overcome

so many difficulties together before.

I believe we can get through this one too.

I completely understand how you feel.

But you shouldn't

use me to threaten Xing Zhizhi.

Ms. Qin,

the person sitting in front of you now

is not the party A of that Bet-on Agreement,

but a husband who still has

a glimmer of hope in his heart

yet feels helpless.

Do you think

Xing Zhizhi is the kind of doctor

who would refuse to save people?

What do you mean?

When we were doing medical

support in Linkang County,

we met a little girl

with rebar through her right leg.

It was a very difficult time.

When no one knew what to do,

it was Xing Zhizhi who stepped forward.

He has never told anyone

why he left the operating room

and went to the rehabilitation department.

I once thought

maybe he had given up,

thrown in the towel,

or even admitted defeat.

I found out later that

during these years since he left the operating room,

his bookshelf still holds

the latest research materials

and the newest surgical videos.

If there's anyone

in this world who hopes

he could return to the operating table,

I think that person must be himself.

Mr. Li,

have you ever considered

why he

repeatedly refused you?

I don't know.

He certainly isn't someone who would refuse to

save people or is irresponsible.

You should trust his choice as a doctor.

A doctor's choice?

That's right.

Whether he performs this surgery or not,

I hope

it's based on his professional judgment as a doctor.

He must be considering for the patient first.

I shouldn't be used as a leverage

to influence his judgment in any way.

This is not just for Xing Zhizhi

but more importantly, for you and your wife.

You should know

I haven't

been in an operating room for several years,

let alone performing such a difficult surgery.

I believe in your abilities.

That's why I hope you

can save my wife.

Besides, in return,

I know

I can help you as well.

Take a look at this.

[Bet-on Agreement] Take a look at this.

[Bet-on Agreement]

[Bet-on Agreement]

As a doctor,

treating patients and saving lives is my duty.

It has nothing to do with anything else.

Xiaofei can make her own decisions about her career.

And as a doctor,

I base my decisions solely on the patient's condition.

How is it?

Is it good? Is it good? Is it good?

It needs a bit more baking soda.

It's a little underbaked.

And it looks like...

a three-starred Michelin dish.

That's more like it.

Xiaofei,

do you know everything?

Actually,

I ran into Zhizu the other day.

She told me

if a man is at a low point

and no one pushes him,

he may never get out of it.

I think she's right.

But I don't want myself to be

a leverage to force you.

Thank you.

But Xiaofei,

I want to try.

I'll wait for you here tomorrow.

Okay?

[Huhai Hexi Hospital]

[Outpatient]

[During the operation]

Open the mediastinal pleura a bit more.

Okay.

Alright.

Prepare the clamp.

Okay.

There's bleeding.

The left upper lobe pulmonary artery is bleeding.

Gauze.

The patient's blood pressure is dropping.

Haven't you stopped the bleeding yet?

Use the suction device directly on the side.

Let me do it.

Okay.

Dr. Xing, you are here.

Prepare for suturing.

Suturing complete.

The bleeding has stopped.

You can continue now.

I wish my surgery

had gone well.

[Huhai Hexi Hospital]

[WeChat]

[Coffee]

Yu Zhecheng and Xing Zhizhi are amazing! [Coffee]

Yu Zhecheng and Xing Zhizhi are amazing!

The surgery was successful!

[Huhai Hexi Hospital]

Why are you still here?

They all left.

The operation was a success.

Where's Xing Zhizhi?

He was the first one coming out.

I'll leave you.

The ward is calling me. I gotta go.

Okay.

The surgery was successful.

You were really lucky this time.

You shouldn't show up.

Aren't we friends?

Why can't I show up?

Xing Zhizhi.

Who are you talking to?

No one.

[Huhai Hexi Hospital] No one.

[Huhai Hexi Hospital]

Just thinking to myself. [Huhai Hexi Hospital]

Why are you here? [Huhai Hexi Hospital]

Why are you here?

Didn't we agree yesterday?

That I'd accompany you for the surgery.

Come on.

Sit down.

Do you feel a great sense of achievement?

Like you've done

the most remarkable thing in the world.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Maybe...

I'm a little tired.

Lean on me for a while.

It's finally over.

We'll get better and better.

[Huhai Hexi Hospital]

[Party B: Chenxing Holding Group] [Signature: Li Changjiang]

[Xingyi Entertainment]

Here.

Mr. Ren,

I have high hopes for the future of Xingyi Entertainment.

I look forward to a pleasant cooperation.

Rest assured, within three years,

I will definitely double your investment.

Good.

Qin Fei,

this is a 3% share dividend.

[Xingyi Entertainment] this is a 3% share dividend.

[Xingyi Entertainment]

It's yours now. [Xingyi Entertainment]

[Xingyi Entertainment]

[Dry Shares (Dividend Rights) Gift Agreement]

[Article 3 Transfer of dry shares and proportion]

No need to look. I've already reviewed it.

Just sign it.

Whether or not to perform the surgery

is Xing Zhizhi's own decision.

It has nothing to do with me.

I can't sign this contract.

I'll take what's rightfully mine,

but I won't take what isn't.

You... you deserve this.

Sign it.

If you really feel uncomfortable about it,

you can donate this dry share and dividend

to charity

in your wife's name.

Are you sure about this?

This could be a significant amount of money.

I'm sure.

I've seen many people over the years

who claim they can resist temptation,

but very few can actually do it.

Qin Fei,

I have faith in you.

If you decide not to renew your contract

and want to do something on your own,

feel free to come to me anytime.

I might be interested in investing.

Don't worry, Qin Fei won't run away.

If there are any good projects in the future,

I'll contact you.

Alright.

Contact me anytime if you need anything.

-Thank you. -Bye.

Bye.

It's all over.

You're not renewing your contract.

This is

the information you left at the company before.

I used to manage all your assets.

From now on,

you'll have to handle it yourself.

The contract has ended.

So, next,

Mr. Ren,

let's talk business.

Fei,

the transfer procedures are done?

Artist Director.

What's wrong?

You've been promoted twice, yet you're still not happy?

Why do I feel like

I'm being forced to divorce?

According to company policy,

this photo

will have to be removed next month.

Now I feel like

you're really leaving.

It's okay.

It's okay, Coffee.

Well,

photos of artists who have left

do need to be removed.

However,

photos of partners

can stay up.

What does that mean?

You can ask her.

Fei, what does it mean?

Mr. Ren probably means that

I'm now an investment partner at Xingyi.

Although I won't be renewing my contract,

I'll still be part of the Bet-on Agreement.

So, I'll still be your boss in the future,

and you'll still have to listen to me.

Do you still have that

what did you call it earlier,

feeling of being forced to divorce?

I've been remarried?

Silly girl.

Qin Fei

has increased her investment in Xingyi.

So from today on,

she's totally

liberated.

From now on,

she's gone from Party B to Party A.

Well, Ren Siqi,

why do I feel there's

such reluctance in your tone?

I invested because Xingyi

was short on funds, right?

Return the money to me if you don't want it.

Hurry.

No, no, no.

Ms. Qin, please have some hot water.

We don't drink cold water, okay?

Is it true, Ms. Qin?

Are you really staying at Xingyi?

Sure. With Li Changjiang's Bet-on Agreement,

I believe Mr. Ren

will definitely work hard.

The return on investment is so high.

It's much better than keeping money in the bank, isn't it?

But it's riskier than keeping it in the bank.

If things go wrong, the three of us might

lose everything.

Yes, so Ren,

keep up and work hard.

Whether I can achieve

financial freedom in the rest of my life

depends on you.

Alright.

But,

could you please not call me Ren?

Then what should I call you?

Qiqi or

Sisi?

And you, Artist Director,

keep up.

Yes, Ms. Qin.

Seriously,

since you're not renewing your contract,

have you

decided what you're going to do?

I do have some ideas,

just not sure

how difficult they'll be to realize.

[Unique Lifestyle]

What time do you get off work?

Fei,

you're not renewing the contract,

and the first thing you want to do is take the college entrance exam?

Haven't you heard that saying?

A life without experiencing the college entrance exam is incomplete.

Well, I think this kind of incompleteness

[60-Day Vocabulary Exercises For College Entrance Examinationy] Well, I think this kind of incompleteness

[60-Day Vocabulary Exercises For College Entrance Examinationy]

is quite alright. [60-Day Vocabulary Exercises For College Entrance Examinationy]

is quite alright.

I still have nightmares

about forgetting to bring a pen to the exam.

Aren't you a top student? What's there to be afraid of?

Never mind, you have to experience

that kind of hardship yourself to understand.

So, how do you plan to study?

Have you signed up for any prep classes?

I have a private tutor

who took the exam ahead of his grade

with dual degrees from medical school, a real expert.

So you're just looking for an excuse

to spend time with Xing Zhizhi every day, huh?

Coffee,

you can't speak quietly, can you?

So, Fei, is the thing you said you must do

really the college entrance exam

or openly dating?

I want to have both.

Can't I?

You can.

Dr. Xing.

Director.

You've been coming to the welfare home

quite frequently lately.

Am I causing you any trouble?

Of course not.

You've been such a great help to the children.

We're truly grateful and would

love for you to come more often.

I want to thank you as well.

Actually, we've seen quite a few

people like you.

Some of them

come here

to volunteer and spend time with the children,

and some donate money and things.

In fact,

they're all

trying to compensate for their own inner wounds

or regrets.

We're all just helping each other, aren't we?

Madam, he fell down.

I'll go check on him.

-Where does it hurt? -Are you okay?

It doesn't hurt. I'm fine.

Let's continue.

Okay.

Let's play ball.

[How are you doing recently?]

I want to talk to you about Xiaojia.

We might need a bit more

time for this.

I'm at your place.

Why aren't you back yet?

What, what's all this?

You're back.

Come here, come here.

Help me with this question. What does it mean?

These are all college entrance exam books.

Are you preparing for the college entrance exam?

Actually, I'm not sure yet.

But after I terminated my contract,

the first image that popped into my head

was attending lectures at a university.

But after looking at these materials,

I really find it difficult.

Do you think I can do it?

Silly.

There's a saying that goes,

"Where there's a will, there's a way."

Right?

It all depends on how determined you are.

You want to study at my place?

I hereby officially inform you

that your home has become

Qin Fei's study center for retaking the exam.

Oh, right.

I sent you a WeChat message earlier.

Why didn't you reply for so long, Mr. Xing?

Mr. Xing?

I haven't agreed to be your tutor.

Take a look at this gift.

Would it persuade you to be my tutor?

Well,

you've even learned to bribe now.

When I was at the bookstore just now,

this pen caught my eyes at first sight.

I thought,

Mr. Xing has performed

such an amazing surgery,

so he must use a good quality pen.

Since you've accepted it,

it means you agree to be my tutor, right?

Sir, you've had a long day.

I'll get you some tea.

Captain, you're back.

-Captain. -Captain.

I took a day off today.

I just wanted to come and watch your training.

Captain.

She's been waiting for you for a long time.

I told her to leave, but she wouldn't go.

Captain, aren't you going to introduce her?

-Yeah. -What a fool.

She must be the captain's girlfriend.

Extra 20 laps for you guys today.

That's not fair.

Go now.

This is no fun.

-Let's go. -Let's go.

Did I, did I cause you trouble?

Come with me.

You really don't need to bother.

What are you doing?

Listen, listen.

Listen.

Isn't this sound soothing?

Try it, try it.

-Really. -Right?

Try that one.

Leave this one to me.

I want the big one too.

You take this.

There's more here.

The bus is here.

I'm leaving.

Turn right.

[Ge Wu Psychological Counseling Studio]

This is my homemade scented candle.

I used several calming ingredients.

It can help soothe your emotions.

It does smell nice.

I feel like my mind has calmed down a bit.

Freshly brewed tea.

Try some.

Thank you.

Well,

shall we begin?

Okay.

Can you tell me

when you first met Xiaojia?

The first time...

The first time

was about five years ago.

I had just returned from Suman

and been transferred out of thoracic surgery.

That day,

I went to the welfare home to deliver things to the children

and saw him on the basketball court.

[Huhai Aile Welfare Home] and saw him on the basketball court.

[Huhai Aile Welfare Home]

Dr. Xing. [Huhai Aile Welfare Home]

Dr. Xing.

Take care.

Director, I'll head back now.

You don't need to see me out.

-Go back. Bye. -Bye.

Bye.

[Huhai Aile Welfare Home]

[Huhai Aile Welfare Home]

Three points.

I was really startled at that moment.

I was certain it was him,

the child who died in Suman,

who couldn't possibly appear in Huhai.

How long did he appear that time?

By the time I calmed down,

he had disappeared.

I thought it might be the environmental factors

or my bad mood

that caused the hallucination.

What happened later?

Later...

A few months later, he appeared again.

After that, it became a kind of signal.

Whenever I was in a bad mood

or couldn't figure something out,

he would appear.

Every time?

It's hard to say which time specifically.

It happened on and off.

He would always appear.

And recently,

it's been happening more and more frequently.

From your description,

you know Xiaojia is a hallucination,

right?

Yes.

This hallucination

appears or disappears

according to my mood and state of mind.

So why didn't you tell me about this before?

Because...

Because Xiaojia's appearance didn't bother me.

He was like a friend to me.

He would talk to me, give me advice,

and even make a few sarcastic comments.

It seems

you two get along well.

I suppose so.

Xiaojia's appearance

not only didn't affect my life,

but to some extent,

I really wanted to see him.

It was a kind of comfort, I guess.

After all,

it was the only way

I could see him again.

A few days ago, you came to the psychology clinic

and requested hypnotherapy.

Why?

Because

he appeared in the hospital,

in the operating room.

I really wanted him to disappear at that moment,

but he didn't leave.

That's when I realized

that Xiaojia's appearances

seemed to be completely out of my control.

I guessed

he must be the root of my psychological problem.

You've returned to the operating table again,

Xing Zhizhi.

I am your psychological counselor.

I hope that before you make any major decisions,

you can discuss them with me first,

especially something like returning to the operating table

that could trigger memories of the past.

Your behavior has broken through

your mental limit.

At this stage, I believe

you should stay away from

all situations that irritate you,

including your work in the hospital.

It may

need to stop for a while.
