[Shine On Me]

[Adapted from Gu Man's novel, Shine On Me]

[Episode 9]

[Game Over]

Sorry.

I guess

I overestimated myself.

Not at all.

This game is actually pretty brutal.

If you cleared it on your first try,

I'd

look pretty bad.

I'm going to check on Dr. Fang.

[Game Over] [Total Games Played: 32]

This game is all about two-handed coordination.

His left hand...

I've gone over this already.

The patient needs a follow-up.

Nie.

Dr. Fang.

Are you trying

to sneak out?

Just going for a stroll in the garden.

Go ahead.

Getting some movement in

will help with your recovery.

Yusen

seems to be there, too.

Mr. Lin hasn't left yet?

He's on leave,

and since he has no friends here in Suzhou,

so he's just been hovering around me.

When I'm busy working,

he has to kill time on his own.

Dr. Fang.

What?

Looking for some gossip?

No.

Can I ask you something?

Shoot.

Since

that car accident

cost him his career,

then why do you keep

making him talk surgery

every day?

Isn't that rubbing salt in the wound?

Nie,

since when did you care about Yusen?

No.

I just...

You can think of it

as exposure therapy.

Exposure therapy?

He never truly got over it.

He was on the Suzhou-Wuxi highway

when the accident happened.

Then he was taken to another hospital here.

I didn't find out until he was transferred

to Shanghai.

During that time,

I'd run to Shanghai every chance I got.

I was so afraid he'd give up on himself.

As surgeons, we have to put in

over ten years of hard work

just to earn a spot at that table.

And he was only just beginning.

Left.

Left.

Oh no, it's messed up. It's over.

You threw me off with all that noise.

Nuo, let's go.

Fine, I'll stay quiet for the next round.

Sir,

the other doctors said

that you're a really

amazing doctor.

So, are you going to operate

on my dad's brain?

No, I'm not.

But you're way more handsome.

I've...

lost my touch with video games.

Suddenly, I don't find

Mr. Lin annoying at all.

That new movie that just came out

is getting great reviews online.

I happen to have the day off the day after tomorrow,

so I'm thinking of checking it out.

You mean that horror movie?

You're going

to a horror movie all alone?

You should really find someone to go with.

What if you end up

running out of the theater crying

with no one there to comfort you?

I want to,

but I just can't find anyone.

Too bad I'll be on duty.

Otherwise,

I wouldn't mind

tagging along.

Speaking of horror movies,

it reminds me of a past

I'd rather forget.

Back then,

I finally scored a date

with that gorgeous, long-haired girl.

I invited her over for a movie night.

You know, the whole routine.

Turns out, it was a ghost movie.

I ended up clinging to her, shaking like a leaf.

She just shoved me off and walked out.

No way,

seriously?

How can you even tell that story?

Have you no shame?

What's there to be ashamed of?

We're only human.

Natural for a man to let his hormones cloud his judgment.

Nothing to be ashamed of.

That sounds familiar.

Where have I heard that before?

I said it.

What of it?

After you finish up,

get back and get some sleep.

I'm good.

You guys keep at it.

I'll wait and head back with you guys.

There's something I need to talk to you about.

Yusen,

don't you have something to do this afternoon?

Not really.

Yusen

has always been so efficient in the OR.

I'm

honestly impressed.

Thanks.

Hello?

Massive pile-up on the highway. Come back now.

[The Second Afflicted Hospital of Gu Su Medical University]

Dr. Fang.

What a coincidence.

I was just looking for you.

This is my daughter, Nan.

We just got the results back

for her head and lung CT scans.

Could you please take a quick look?

This is my junior,

a neurosurgery expert.

Let's have him check them for you.

Calcification in the lungs and brain.

Did she have

tuberculosis before?

Yes.

She had TB when she was a little girl.

Does the brain

look okay?

Is it going to...?

Her brain looks fine.

TB

can definitely cause this kind of thing,

but calcification isn't usually cancerous.

Unless

the TB flares up again

and makes the calcification worse.

Thank you so much.

Let's go.

We can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Why are you staring at me?

Me?

Am I?

So, what did you need me for?

Right.

I've finished that mountain of work

you gave me.

I'll get it to you in a bit.

That's it?

That's it.

Mr. Lin.

I've been working from my sickbed this whole time.

So I'm still on the clock

for these past few days, right?

Miss Nie,

since when did an owner

start pinching pennies like this?

Please, it's not like

you don't draw a salary yourself.

I'm just an employee,

of course I get paid.

I...

Fine, forget the overtime pay.

Can you just help me beat Level 5?

I'm totally stuck.

Okay.

You're not gonna do it now?

Don't let the simple controls fool you.

It's actually way harder

than the last game.

It's a real brain burner.

Come on, just do it.

I really can't get past it.

Wow, you're amazing.

Nie Xiguang,

have you noticed that you...

What?

You're almost ready to be discharged.

Mom,

I'm coming home tonight.

And I'm really craving some pork rib soup.

Can't you go one day without putting in an order

before you even step through the door?

Anyway, what's the occasion?

I got hurt.

What?

What happened? Is it serious?

It's fine, don't worry.

I'm much better.

I just

missed a step downstairs

and ended up twisting my ankle.

You're

a grown-up now.

Can't you be more careful

when you're taking the stairs?

Do you need the driver

to go to Suzhou and pick you up?

No need.

I'll just take the train

and then grab a cab home.

Gotta go.

Alright.

See you soon.

I once treated a patient

who fell off the top of a truck.

He landed right on a rock.

Skull fracture.

Intracranial hematoma.

Ruptured spleen.

He spent a month

in the ICU

before he was out of the woods.

He fell from a height

even lower than where you were.

Wait,

why the sudden

horror story?

Stop giving the people

who care about you a reason to worry.

I get it.

I promise it won't happen again.

Um...

Thanks for everything.

And tell Ms. Chen, thanks for the delicious food.

She mentioned

that she really liked

the gift you got her.

I had Yin Jie

pick it up for me.

I'm glad she likes it.

Nie Xiguang,

you really struggle

with finding the key issue.

What's

the key...?

Let's go. I'll give you a ride.

Mr. Lin,

can you help me

get rid of these?

My mom can't see any of this.

Where did this rain come from?

Aren't we going the wrong way?

It's coming down.

I'm taking you straight back to Wuxi.

I can just go to the station

and catch a train myself.

Where do you live?

Put the address in the GPS.

Your phone's locked.

Hang on.

There.

You wear glasses for driving?

Ever since the accident,

my eyesight was also damaged.

The rain makes it worse.

So, that crash

must have been pretty bad.

Mm.

You know,

you're actually pretty incredible.

How so?

Since you joined us,

morale at the office has been through the roof.

It seems like

you're just a natural at everything you do.

What's so funny?

I just got a compliment

from my future boss.

Am I not allowed to be happy about it?

I am not your future boss.

You never know.

Thanks.

I'm heading back, then.

Thanks again.

Drive safe

on your way back.

[Shuangyuan Photovoltaic]

Xiguang,

welcome back.

Sorry about that.

I hate that you guys had to pick up my slack.

Don't worry about it. It's not like you had a choice.

You're finally here, Xiguang.

You've filled right back out.

You must've gained at least 2.5 kg.

Your face looks so much firmer.

You're just being jealous.

Who wouldn't be?

While you were out there living it up,

my workload

literally doubled.

See?

Now you know

just how important I am.

Yeah, absolutely.

I promise

I'll never forget my key again.

Seriously, Yin Jie

is never going to live down

that "lost key" story.

Don't even start, Mr. Wang.

Last week, when I was dropping off documents

for Mr. Wu in Finance,

he looked me dead in the eye

before I left and said, totally serious,

"Don't forget your key next time."

Just kill me.

You have no right to complain.

Nie really paid the price

for your mess-up.

Not really.

Nie,

you're all better now, right?

Yeah.

Actually, the whole department

wanted to drop by and see you,

but Mr. Lin said

you needed peace and quiet,

and a big crowd would be too much,

so we all stayed away.

Hope you don't mind.

Not at all.

Alright, morning meeting

in ten minutes.

Mr. Lin will be there.

- Okay. - Got it.

Morning, everyone.

- Morning. - Good morning, Mr. Lin.

First of all,

let's welcome our colleague, Nie,

back to the team after her recovery.

Health comes first.

Nie,

you've got to be more careful next time.

Roger that.

I'm back and better than ever.

Don't hold back, bosses.

I'm ready for whatever you need.

I'll take you up on that.

The main focus

for Administration this week

is the quarterly review,

the annual summary,

and coming up

with a plan for the year-end party.

Lastly,

there's one more important thing.

I've been hearing some talk lately

that our department has bad "Feng Shui."

Feng Shui?

Who's talking such nonsense?

How come I haven't heard anything?

Who's spreading these rumors?

Even reached Mr. Lin's ears.

I'll check it out.

But seriously, what era is this?

People actually still believe in that superstition?

Exactly.

But since I got hurt last month,

and then this month,

another colleague

"jumped off the building."

It's only natural

that people are starting to wonder.

So, I'm planning

a department dinner

this week

to shake off the bad luck.

This dinner

won't be on the company's tab.

Nie Xiguang and I

will be splitting the bill.

Wait, why do I have to pay too?

Well, wasn't it the two of us

getting hurt in a row

that started the rumors in the first place?

Does that make sense?

Don't make it sound

like we're having some illicit affair,

okay?

Expensive or not?

Do you think the place Mr. Lin picked

is gonna be super expensive?

Based on my reading of the stars,

you're definitely the type who lives paycheck to paycheck.

Want me to lend you some?

Oh, so since you're reading the stars,

why don't you calculate this for me:

What happens if I "forget" my wallet

and leave Mr. Lin

to foot the whole bill?

I don't even need the stars for that.

I can feel it in my gut:

You'll be pulling some serious overtime the next day.

Big time.

But honestly, don't sweat it.

With Mr. Lin's style

and integrity,

it's all talk.

He won't actually make you pay.

Note this:

Even if he will,

it won't be anywhere too pricey.

Forget I said that.

Aren't you guys coming up?

Okay.

I get it now.

The fancier the place, the safer you are.

If it were just some hole-in-the-wall,

he might actually go Dutch.

But for a place this fancy,

there's no way Mr. Lin

would let you pick up the tab.

Let's go.

Look at this spread.

These crab sticks...

You're good.

Do they taste good?

What "crab sticks"?

That's King Crab.

You guys really polished everything off.

Everyone full?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

See?

Told you so.

Mr. Lin went to pay the bill himself.

Come to the front.

Mr. Lin.

Nie Xiguang,

I forgot my wallet.

Okay.

Please sign here.

I just remembered

I never gave you the deposit for my hospital stay.

We're even now.

Totally even.

If Mr. Lin hadn't treated us today,

I wouldn't have splurged on a meal

like this all year.

Right.

I sent photos to my boyfriend,

and he's so jealous.

He said our boss

is way more generous than his.

Thanks, Mr. Lin.

That was such a treat.

Don't mention it.

The seafood here must be pretty pricey, right?

I heard it's a famous spot.

It's fine.

Xiguang, you okay?

Are you motion sick?

No,

just a major food coma.

[Shuangyuan Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd.]

Thanks, Mr. Lin.

Thank you, Mr. Lin.

Bye, Mr. Lin.

- See ya, Mr. Lin. - Bye.

Why does all this

feel so surreal?

We were like enemies before.

Can we really

become friends just like that?

Can things really change this fast?

Wait for me.

Did you leave something in the car?

No.

Lin Yusen.

We're really

all good

now?

♪Raindrops♪

♪Falling out of time when you are near♪

♪Singing in silence♪

♪And the world stops♪

Yes.

♪Spinning out of line so uncontrollably♪

♪When you are near me♪

Then

what was it about me

that you couldn't stand so much?

♪Am I dreaming?♪

Because...

you were so carefree.

What?

Because you were so carefree

and so forgetful.

I...

- Alright. - I...

You should head back now.

They're still watching us.

Alright, I'm heading in.

Bye.

"Carefree

and forgetful"?

Wait. Is he basically

calling me a ditz?

What were you and Mr. Lin just talking about?

I asked him

why he couldn't stand me before.

And he answered?

Yeah. He said

I'm too much of a ditz.

[Huaya Bank] Overall,

with the AD/CVD policies in place,

Rimang Energy offers incredible value.

[Chris] If we're looking to expand

into the renewables sector,

this would be a perfect entry point.

Any differing views?

[Min] [Mia]

[Kevin] [Justin]

Chris is absolutely right.

Rimang Energy

definitely offers great value.

However,

not long ago,

Rimang Energy

issued a guarantee

of up to 200 million dollars

to another bank

for its overseas subsidiary, HTCL.

From a risk-control perspective...

Regarding that point,

Risk Management has provided their feedback.

It's true that Rimang Energy

has provided a massive guarantee

for HTCL.

However, HTCL

is a joint venture subsidiary

between Rimang Energy

and an offshore fund,

Devon Solar Fund.

Shortly after Rimang Energy

issued the domestic guarantee,

Devon

provided

a 300 million dollar

offshore bond counter-guarantee for it.

This effectively hedged

Rimang Energy's risk exposure.

Therefore, I believe

investing in Rimang Energy

carries controllable risk

with substantial returns.

Thanks, Chris.

Does anyone else

have anything to add?

Alright then.

Meeting adjourned.

[Huaya Bank]

Here are

the industry analysis reports

you asked for the other day,

covering what our competitors have been up to

over the last two years.

Besides,

I've also put together a five-year summary

of other...

Zhuang Xu,

what's your take

on the Rimang Energy investment proposal

brought up during the meeting?

Well, even though the AD/CVD policies

hit the PV industry harder than ever,

renewables is still a solid sector.

There are definitely good plays to be made.

I'm sure

Risk Management

has provided

a very thorough background,

but since this involves cross-border guarantees,

I'd still suggest we be extra careful

with the due diligence.

Okay,

I'll keep that in mind.

You can head back to work now.

The boss asked Risk Management

to conduct a second round

of overseas due diligence and an audit

on that Rimang Energy project.

I heard.

I mean, that guy

was in the boss's office

for quite a while this afternoon.

Honestly, I'm speechless.

Rimang Energy is listed on the US stock market,

and with Devon's counter-guarantee,

its financial security

is beyond question.

A re-audit

just means

pushing back the acquisition timeline.

With a target this good,

other investment firms

could snatch it from under us

at any second.

His whole routine

is just pure paranoia

and making trouble out of nothing.

Forget it.

You can't be too cautious.

True.

But I really can't stand people

who won't say things to your face,

then sneak off to the boss

behind your back.

Maybe you're reading too much into it?

You didn't actually hear anything.

Besides, Zhuang

doesn't seem like that kind of person.

Why?

What, based on his looks?

Min,

don't judge a book by its cover.

Well,

he is incredibly handsome.

[Huaya Bank]

Hello?

Xiang Qun.

Really?

A wedding on the 2nd?

Congratulations, man.

You haven't forgotten what you promised me

back in the dorms, have you?

You're not going to be "too busy" for me, are you?

Of course not.

I'll definitely be there.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Keep at it

and win Siliang over as soon as you can.

That would be amazing.

We're all old friends here.

Am I not trying hard enough?

Maybe I'm just not her type.

Enough about me.

I hope you and Zhang Zhen get married soon.

Yeah,

I will marry Zhen.

Marry her!

Zhuang Xu,

you have to be my best man.

I knew you were biased

toward Zhuang Xu.

You have to pick the eye candy for the best man.

Sure.

I'll probably be the last one to get married anyway.

I can be the best man

for all of you.

No way.

You're such a catch.

You could get married in a heartbeat if you wanted to.

Exactly.

But what do I have

to offer her right now?

If I'd known "making peace" with him

meant working overtime every single day,

I might have just stayed "enemies."

Mr. Lin,

aren't you leaving yet?

Well, I'm heading out then.

Wait.

Mr. Lin,

I have a question.

Go ahead.

Why do you always make me stay late?

There are so many others you could ask.

Nie Xiguang,

your family

owns 49%

of this company.

Nearly half the profits

go straight into your pockets.

So?

So, making other people work late

makes me feel guilty,

like I'm exploiting

the working class.

But I don't feel bad

about making you stay, not one bit.

And one more thing,

Nie Xiguang,

when we're off the clock,

can you stop calling me Mr. Lin?

Why?

It makes me

feel like

I'm still working for you...

Lin Yusen.

Bye.

Nie Xiguang.

Come back.

What is it?

Did you

put that A Fu figurine

on my desk

this morning?

Yeah.

Someone told me I should "find the key issue."

While I was waiting at the station

on my way back to Suzhou,

the idea just hit me.

So I picked this up right then and there.

Fifteen yuan. Don't mention it.

By the way,

that's actually meant for your car,

not to be left sitting on your desk.

Wishing it keeps you safe on the road.

You bought it back then?

Why give it to me just now?

Well, I've been busy

nursing the wounds

that fancy dinner left on my wallet.

Was the trauma that deep?

If you'd given it to me sooner,

maybe

I wouldn't have "forgotten" my wallet.

It's a private formula.

Care to try it?

What is it?

Herbal ointment for scars.

Got it from a friend.

It's

for fading those marks

from your accident.

It really works.

Thanks.

But it's really no big deal.

The marks will fade.

Maybe so.

But I'm worried

you'll use that as an excuse to reject me.

Reject you for what?

[Wedding Invitation]

This is an invitation

to Mr. Lin's friend's wedding.

Wait, isn't this from the girl

whose screaming made you fall off the balcony?

Yep.

He said

his friend

was just passing through Suzhou

to drop off the invite.

She saw me climbing the balcony

and it scared the life out of her.

Apparently, she has a major fear of heights.

Mr. Lin said

she's been feeling guilty about it,

so she invited me

to her wedding.

It's in Shanghai on New Year's Day.

Should I go?

Of course you should.

Why pass up a free meal?

Wait, you don't have to give a cash gift, do you?

Probably not.

But that's not the point.

How is that not the point?

Check out the names on the invite.

Your name is written

right next to Mr. Lin's.

That means you're off the hook.

You count as a "plus one."

But,

your name looks like

it was added later.

Well, obviously.

She didn't even know me before.

The handwriting is a bit awkward.

Maybe the invites

were all written by someone with nice handwriting,

and the bride added

your name herself, I guess.

Perhaps.

It's not like

Mr. Lin added it himself.

His handwriting

is way better than this.

What are you even thinking?

Why would he trick me into going to a wedding?

True.

Anyway, it's a free ride,

so you're definitely going.

Dress to impress.

The mission is simple:

Eat, drink, and be merry, all for free.

Calm down.

Seriously, Yin Jie,

why are you more excited than Xiguang?

I've been watching their story unfold

from day one.

Don't you get it?

Now Xiguang and Mr. Lin

are going to a wedding together.

You know what they call that?

"Affection blooming in the face of adversity."

Xiguang,

if we'd known

that "jumping off" a balcony is what it takes

to change his mind about you,

you should've jumped ages ago.

I...

If I told you that jumping from the second floor

would get you a promotion,

would you do it?

How big of a promotion?

I'll have to give that some thought.

[Shuangyuan Photovoltaic]

Boss?

Why

the sudden call?

Listen to you.

Can't I just call you

out of the blue

to catch up and bond a little?

Well,

it's been almost two months

since we last talked.

Fair enough.

So, what kind of "bonding" are we talking about?

What else could it be?

The reason I've been MIA lately

is that I've been swamped with wedding planning.

Wait, what? You're getting married too?

"Too"?

Who else?

Oh, no one.

Just a colleague.

So

you're calling

to invite me

to your wedding?

You got it.

What's the deal?

Isn't this a bit fast?

We just graduated, didn't we?

Our parents were breathing down our necks to get hitched.

But honestly, we want to pool our money

and buy a place.

Pool money for a house? You win.

Well, congratulations.

What's the date? I'll be there.

January 2nd.

And just showing up isn't enough.

I need everyone

to come a day earlier to help me out.

Our budget is tight,

so we're doing all the decorations ourselves.

"Everyone"?

Yeah, both our dorms.

I don't think I can make it on the 1st.

You know how it is in Finance,

we always have to work overtime at the start of every month.

Even on New Year's Day?

Uh-huh. Pure cruelty, isn't it?
