=Shine on Me= (Based on Gu Man's novel 'Shine on Me')

=Episode 35=

Ms. Qian,

it's midyear.

Your property fee is overdue.

What does that have to do with me?

Go to whoever is necessary.

Gong?

Why are you calling?

Did Chengyuan ask you to call me?

How is he?

Is he coming over now?

There's good news.

The swindlers have been caught.

But they've spent all the money.

Ms. Qian,

Mr. Nie was sick and hospitalized.

He's still recuperating.

I'll tell him the news.

But later he probably can't

take care of you anymore.

Don't contact him anymore.

He thinks

the house you live in now

isn't well-located.

I'm calling to tell you

that I'll take potential buyers over soon.

I hope you empty it soon.

It's the best for all.

What?

Is he trying

to kick me out?

I can't accept that.

It won't be that easy.

Is Nie Chengyuan

at the company now?

I'll go see him now.

When Mr. Nie doesn't want to see you,

making a scene is futile.

If you make it ugly,

what you took before will be gone too.

Ms. Qian,

please think twice.

Think twice?

Nonsense!

Wanting me gone so easily?

No way.

The owner is eager to sell.

Buying this house will be a good decision.

Its interior decoration

and location

are excellent.

The decor

might not be

the style I like.

Mr. Gong?

Hello.

Hello.

They're the buyers.

Hello.

The garden area looks quite spacious.

Is the house vacant now?

Currently...

I saw you from upstairs.

So I hurried down.

Hurry.

Come on in.

- Someone's here? - Let's go.

I've taken photos.

Please.

Come in quickly. Let's go.

Feel free to look around.

Feel at home.

I thought the house was empty.

Are you the owner?

Ms. Qian is the tenant.

Yes.

I'm the tenant.

Not the owner.

However.

I've lived here

for several years now.

If you want to know the details,

ask me. I know best.

So you're moving out?

Yes.

Actually,

I've grown attached to this place.

Hadn't

my husband

gotten sick here and died,

I wouldn't move out.

Someone died in this house?

What's wrong with you?

I warned you repeatedly

to investigate it thoroughly

to avoid such things.

A-And you've recommended me such a house?

Aren't you

wasting my time?

We've already

made careful inquiries.

Mr. Gong,

what is going on here?

No one has died in this house.

Ms. Qian,

stop such nonsense.

Or you'll be

held legally liable.

I misspoke.

My husband didn't die here.

He got sick here

and died outside.

What kind of place did they even find?

Mr. Gong,

this isn't how you sell a house.

Ms. Qian,

Mr. Nie has been

more than fair to you.

Why did you do that?

At the right price,

selling this place is only

a matter of time.

Your little tricks will

only cause me some trouble.

They'll achieve nothing.

Mom,

what do we do?

Do we really have to move?

I doubt we'll stay here much longer.

Nie Chengyuan is truly heartless.

He ignores past feelings entirely.

That's just how men are.

Back then,

if he had met someone better off first,

he might

have dumped me faster than I dumped him.

Quick, pack up all our clothes, bags,

and everything else.

We'll reclaim the old place we rented out and move in.

Anyway,

I've enjoyed these years.

I didn't lose.

How can you say that?

I was living perfectly fine before.

With our own place,

I could have found a stable job

and married a suitable husband.

But you

changed my life completely.

You brought me here

and showed me all of this.

And you said

you want us to go back?

How can I go back?

Do you know the strange looks

I get every day because of you?

Everyone here looks down upon me.

But what could I do?

When I knew nothing,

you dragged me here.

I always comforted myself

that things would get better,

and I'd have a bright and shiny future.

But suddenly, it's all gone.

It's like a dream.

Moving back to our hometown?

How will the old neighbors see me?

How will they laugh at me?

My life had just begun,

and you've ruined it.

Nianyuan.

Don't call me that name.

It makes me sick.

Mom,

you only ever think about yourself.

You're so selfish.

If it weren't for you losing money

and dragging me down,

I'd still be living

a comfortable life now.

How dare you...

How dare you blame me?

I...

I won't give you a single cent from now on.

Rong.

Siliang.

It's a weekday.

What brings you here?

Here on business?

Miss, what would you like?

A latte.

Please wait.

I came to say goodbye.

Goodbye?

Where are you going?

Shenzhen.

My flight is tonight.

After packing my bags,

I realized I had some time.

Your place is on my way to the airport.

So I came to see you.

Actually,

I planned to tell no one.

So you're

sent by the company?

No.

I got a new job.

Why the sudden

job change?

Sheng Yuan

is such a great company.

Many want in but can't.

I remember

I mentioned it last time.

I was working

with my boss on a project.

Right.

I only found out later

that one of the competitors

was Nie Xiguang's relative.

So my boss

asked me to approach Nie Xiguang

for information.

You didn't go, did you?

Of course not.

How could I possibly

lower my head?

Yeah.

You wouldn't.

Last week, the bid was opened.

My boss lost to them.

Lost to Xiguang's relative?

So your boss took it out on you?

Is that why you quit?

He took it out on everyone.

He didn't fire me, though.

What reason could he have?

If he had fired me,

it might be better.

I could've gotten severance.

I quit on my own choice.

He wasn't the kind of

capable, decisive boss I imagined.

I don't need to stick around.

Besides,

everyone knows

his time is up.

Staying under him

offers me no room for advancement.

Well, getting a new job

does sound pretty good then.

But why go all the way to Shenzhen?

Couldn't you find a new job

in Shanghai?

I want a new environment.

When I graduated from university,

I always felt

we'd all stay the same as before.

But actually,

even in the same city,

we've drifted apart.

And now,

you're going even further away.

Did you say goodbye

to Zhuang Xu?

It feels like we said goodbye

a long time ago.

During senior year job hunting,

I truly believed

Nie Xiguang didn't tell me

about my interview call.

At that time,

I was both angry and excited.

I felt like

I'd finally caught her mistake.

I couldn't wait to tell everyone.

Zhuang Xu said

he was never what I cared about,

and he was just a tool

I used to feel superior.

Maybe I am just

a tool to you.

You use me to feel superior.

I was never the reason

she became your imaginary rival.

How could he say that?

Looking back later,

maybe

what he said was right.

Maybe

he was never the reason

I cared about Nie Xiguang.

I've been trapped

in my own past.

Siliang invited Feng and me to dinner.

Then I found out about that.

Why did Rong insist

on going to Shenzhen?

Aren't there plenty

of opportunities here?

Her suddenly leaving without saying goodbye

really left me feeling pretty sad.

Well,

I might not feel very sad

about her departure.

But it feels like

the university days

have suddenly become truly distant.

Yeah.

Be it good or bad,

only memories are left behind now.

Everyone has their own choices.

Wherever she is,

she will do just fine.

True.

I won't worry about her then.

(I'm downstairs at your dorm.)

Head, I can't talk anymore.

I'm going out for dinner.

With your super handsome boyfriend?

Right.

And my family.

Cheers!

Come on, cheers!

We've won that big project from Feng Teng.

Sit down and eat.

Yun,

you missed the celebration dinner

in Nanjing.

It was such a pity.

We partied until late at night.

I had unmovable plans

that day.

My bad.

A drink for me.

It's fine.

Now, it is our family celebration.

For such happy news,

don't we have to celebrate

multiple times?

Yes. Count me in.

Another one for me.

I'm a simple person.

I'm thrilled that you

snatched that project

from Yuan Cheng.

Mom, Xiguang, you're amazing.

I toast to you.

What about me?

You didn't contribute.

You know everything,

you brat.

All you know is to butter up your mom

and Xiguang.

Dad, aren't you used to it yet?

Deep down,

you're not convinced?

No.

Not at all.

Your mom

is utterly wise.

I am completely convinced.

Y-You...

Stop trying to sow discord

to profit from it.

Come on.

Another round.

- Come on. - Come on.

That's all for the first happy thing.

Now let's talk about something else.

Xiguang, Lin,

I didn't have time

to ask more back then.

What's this about you buying an apartment?

Buying an apartment?

Yeah.

While we were at the bid opening meeting,

they actually

went and bought an apartment.

No way, Xiguang.

Are you getting married?

Don't shout nonsense.

Xiguang and I

bought a place together.

Soon,

I'll be working at Songjiang's

Brain Science Research Center.

So we bought a place

close to both Xiguang's work

and mine.

Isn't that just for marriage?

That's the long-term goal.

For now, it's to avoid a long-distance relationship.

Lin,

you don't seem rushed at all.

I am anxious,

but with a peaceful heart,

I'm not so frantic.

Besides, Xiguang is still young.

She just graduated.

Which developer built this place?

Let me see the floor plan.

I love seeing those.

A local developer in Suzhou.

The next few photos are too.

It's still in Suzhou?

That's not close to your workplace.

It's fine.

About a fifty-minute drive.

It seems closer to Xiguang's workplace.

Lin,

do you plan to commute

between Suzhou and Shanghai daily?

Yes, Ms. Jiang.

Won't you find that tiring?

Won't you feel like you're sacrificing too much?

Driving from Songjiang to Lujiazui

or to my grandparents' place

could take longer

than getting to Suzhou

in rush hour.

So,

it really can't be called hardship

or sacrifice.

Furthermore,

seeing Xiguang every day

is my own need.

It's not sacrifice.

That line is perfect.

I need to write it down.

I can tell that to my future girlfriend's parents.

Jiang Rui,

you haven't secretly

been dating someone

at university, have you?

No.

But if I do,

I'll tell everyone.

Alright then.

Next semester's allowance stays the same.

No increase.

What?

You can't be that unfair.

How can it

be tied to my dating status?

I need an extra two hundred.

My current allowance

can't keep up with my

growing need for cultural enrichment.

Be specific.

Like occasionally playing games.

Not one cent more.

By the way,

Xiguang,

how did your dad react?

Dad sent me a WeChat message,

saying, "Congrats."

How did you reply?

At first, I thought,

since I only played

a small part,

I probably shouldn't boast.

But since he

congratulated me,

I just said, "You are most gracious."

What about Lin's grandpa?

Did he say anything?

Before dinner,

I got a call from Grandpa.

He said he'll come see me in Suzhou soon.

Is he coming to Suzhou to give you a hard time?

I'll face him with you.

It didn't sound like it.

But

if he really is coming to lecture me,

I'll bring you along.

Thank you.

We'll weather the storm together.

With the recent announcing of many supportive policies,

especially the six-point measures,

the prospects for the PV industry

have become very clear.

At this moment,

by introducing

new products with technological advantages,

you will definitely capture

a larger market share in the future.

You've managed Shuangyuan very well.

I joined later.

If the company

can later secure orders

and stabilize,

it's mainly because of your support

and Mr. Zhang's

and the employees' persistence.

No need to be overly modest.

Last time, didn't you ask me

about the name change?

Why isn't it changed yet?

Xiguang and I discussed it

and decided to secure a few orders first.

You two are thorough.

What's the new name?

Guang Yu?

Yes.

A little game between the young couple,

but it sounds better than Shuangyuan

and is more fitting for a PV company.

Grandpa,

besides that,

there's one more thing

I want to ask for your opinion on.

What is it?

I want to establish

a fifteen percent ESOP pool

to motivate the company's technical and managerial staff.

In the future,

I'll focus on medical research,

and Xiguang will step up

in running the company.

Therefore,

I plan for the equity incentive

to come solely from my shares.

No pro-rata dilution for others.

It's similar to the renaming matter.

Since the shares are all yours now,

you make the decisions entirely.

However,

you must think it through.

The company bylaws

clearly state

that decision-making power

is absolutely tied

to shareholding percentage.

By doing this,

you effectively lose the ability

to compete with the Nie girl

for control of the company.

I understand.

Thank you.

Regarding this,

has the Nie girl agreed?

I haven't mentioned it to her.

I wanted your opinion first.

You asked my opinion on renaming

and setting up the ESOP.

Then tell me.

When you helped

the Nie girl's relatives

snatch the project

from Sheng Yuan's hands,

why didn't you ask

for my opinion then?

About that matter,

how will you explain it to me?

Grandpa,

the PV industry is struggling.

Opportunities are rare.

We must seize any sliver of hope.

If Xingjie had approached me first,

we'd have supported him fully too.

Is that the truth?

Half and half.

Well then,

what's the false part?

Xingjie wouldn't come to me.

So it was just empty talk.

And the true part?

If he did come to me,

how could we turn down business?

But we'd do it grudgingly

for the money's sake.

Look at you.

You've always been a smart kid.

You and your cleverness.

If only Xingjie

had half your intelligence and composure,

Sheng Yuan's future

could be entrusted to him.

The Feng Teng project

is an assessment for him.

What I care about

isn't just the outcome this time.

More importantly,

I want to see the approach he takes

and the character he displays

in the process.

You're in good health.

The succession

isn't urgent right now.

However,

I have an idea,

but I'm hesitant to share it.

Speak freely.

Actually, I've wanted to suggest

grooming Xingxiu.

Xingxiu?

Both Xingle and Xingxiu are smart.

But Xingle has a flighty personality

and resists constraints.

Xingxiu is steady and reserved.

As a successor candidate,

Xingxiu might be more suitable.

Why isn't he back yet?

When did you get back?

Why didn't you tell me?

(Shuangyuan Photovoltaic)

How did it go?

Your grandpa has left?

Did he scold you?

I did say I'd go with you,

but work came up.

The equipment is arriving in a few days.

There's a lot to confirm.

So you prioritize work now?

What will happen in the future?

Drop the act.

Actually, work wasn't the main point.

I thought about it.

It was better for you two

to talk alone.

Thank you for being so considerate.

You're welcome.

Don't be too touched.

So did your grandpa scold you?

No.

I even made a request.

What request?

I invited Grandpa to officiate

at the company's

renaming and unveiling ceremony.

Impressive.

No big deal.

Let's go. Time to clock out.

You stood me up today.

Treat me to dinner.

Sure.

To the cafeteria.

I'll talk a bit of work

over dinner with Mr. Hua.

Forget it.

I just remembered

(Shuangyuan Photovoltaic) I have some unfinished work.

No way.

Let's go.

Mr. Lin,

you haven't resigned yet.

And even if you do, you're a shareholder.

How can you slack off?

Right now, the industry is booming.

We need to race against time

to seize the initiative.

Let me see.

Xiguang,

you wouldn't

be a secret workaholic, would you?

Of course not.

The kiss says you're not.

When did you become

so childish?

The person I'm kissing hasn't changed.

So sure?

How about

you try kissing me again?

Still the same.

Xiguang,

I've wanted to confirm

something with you.

What?

Are you really interested in management

and the PV industry?

Don't force yourself

for others.

Why would you worry about that?

Of course it's because

I'm genuinely interested.

But I still

don't have any grand ambitions.

For example,

I don't plan on turning Guang Yu

into some giant corporation in the future.

I just want to do the best I can

with every task at hand.

Also,

after helping Aunt secure that project last time,

I discovered

that I enjoy the feeling of winning.

I noticed that ages ago.

When?

Back at Changbai Mountains skiing.

You had only been learning for two days

but were in a hurry

to run off and practice alone.

You tried to secretly become a master skier

without me.

That counts?

Of course it does.

We see the big in the small.

Let's go,

my dear Ms. Nie.

Meeting in the cafeteria.

Once we

get through this busy period,

I'll slack off for half a month.

No,

a whole month.

How?

By using up all my accumulated

vacation days,

lying around every day,

going out, spacing out,

reading novels, and watching dramas.

With me?

Absolutely.

When I'm lying down watching TV,

I need someone to bring me snacks.

I'd rather be your pillow.

A pillow that fetches snacks?

Deal.

What are you thinking?

This time last year,

I first came here.

Full of revenge?

No.

I didn't know what I wanted to do.

But

I would never hurt you.

I just didn't expect

that only one day after joining,

someone would fall right into my hands.

How did you feel back then?

Were you secretly pleased?

I was not pleased.

I was flustered.

"It's bad."

"I haven't planned yet."

"Why is she right in front of me?"

If I weren't the one involved,

I'd be fooled by you.

Back then,

you said with a cold expression,

"Miss Nie,

I don't think you're suited

for an accounting job."

"From now on,

you'll work at the Management Dept."

That was a reflex.

Actually, there's another reason

for changing the name.

You come and go all the time.

I want to keep

a trace of you here.
