(This story is purely fictional.)

Have a pack.

Thank you.

Everyone, please pause your work
for a moment.

There's good news.

As thanks for your contributions
to The Lonely Road,

Divine General Pact

and Deserted Island Sharpshooter,

Mr. Pei has decided

to allocate 50 percent
of the games' net profits

as bonuses

to all Tengda employees.

That much?

I haven't worked long.
I have no frame of reference.

Is that a high percentage?

I've worked for years
and I still don't know.

I've never even seen a bonus.

Oh, right.

So it feels real to everyone,

Mr. Pei has decided

the bonuses will be paid out
on the spot.

Come to my office to collect them.

(Disappointed. Culprit.)
Huang Sibo is completely out of control.

First, he secretly worked overtime
to finish Divine General Pact.

Then, he added a PvP mini-game

in the perfectly laggy
Deserted Island Sharpshooter.

He

is the main reason Tengda
made a killing.

This is deeply disappointing.

Exactly.

He's the most active one.

(Bonus: 88,888
Total salary: 128,888)

I only did the most basic things.

It was all part of my regular duties.

Why did Mr. Pei give me so much?

(Toxic)
And this guy.

Zone B, 517.

I didn't expect him
to be a dark horse as well.

Huang Sibo thought of adding mini-games

entirely because of him.

He's basically a toxic presence

and a bad apple in the team.

Keeping him around will definitely
cause trouble later.

(Bonus: 88,888
Total salary: 121,388)

Is my work really worth that much?

Deserted Island Sharpshooter's success

can also be attributed to Lin Wan.

(Accomplice)
She brought in her own connections

and let them play for free.

It had a devastating promotional effect.

(Bonus: 88,888
Total salary: 121,388)

Ms. Xin.

I haven't worked many jobs.

Are bonuses normally this high?

This was Mr. Pei's decision.

After all, you've all
worked hard recently.

By the way, help me call
the janitor.

Have her come collect her bonus as well.

The janitor gets one too?

Mr. Pei really takes care of everyone.

He's okay.

This Lin Wan

(Accomplice)
might be worth observing a bit longer.

As long as it's explicitly forbidden

for her to use her personal connections,

she won't be able to do much.

But Huang Sibo and Bao Xu...

Those two must be dealt with.

How should we deal with them?

Fire them or demote them?

Without evidence,
it would violate regulations.

It's finally time to unleash my

ultimate move.

Everyone,

Tengda's first

Best Employee Award,
organized by Mr. Pei,

has concluded

after anonymous voting.

The Best Employee

will receive

a one-million-yuan Dream Fund.

Anything you wish,

any field, any industry,

the company will pay for your dream.

We hereby announce

the first

(First Best Employee Award)
Best Employee...

(Candidates: Huang Sibo, Bao Xu,
Lin Wan, Hao Qiong, Li Yada)

Huang Sibo.

(Best Employee: Huang Sibo)

Everyone.

This is such a surprise.

Let me say a few words.

I...

(Acceptance Speech)
Deserted Island Sharpshooter's success

is thanks to Mr. Pei.

It was Mr. Pei who gave us

this project

- its moment to shine.
- Alright.

Let's give it up for Sibo.

Next,

is the second-place winner
of the Best Employee Award.

(Candidates: Bao Xu, Lin Wan)
And that person is...

Bao Xu.

(Second Place: Bao Xu)
Even though you're second,

the company hasn't forgotten

your hard work.

The company has prepared for you

one month of paid leave.

Yes!

And a VIP tour package.

Wait, Mr. Pei,

you know I don't go out.

(Annual Best Employee Top 2)
I don't want time off.

Don't make me travel, okay?

No.

Even though you're

Tengda's Chief Game Playtester,

you can't just shut yourself away.

Right?

Traveling ten thousand miles
beats reading ten thousand books.

Go see the beautiful mountains
and rivers

of our great country.

No, my knees are bad.

Congratulations, Bao Xu.

I don't want to travel.

Let's send Huang Sibo off
to start a business,

and Bao Xu off on his trip.

But Tengda's gaming division

still needs a new project manager.

And that person is...

It has to be Lin Wan.

Lin Wan! Lin Wan!

Lin Wan! Lin Wan!

Lv Mingliang!

Lv Mingliang?

What?

Congrats, Lv!

Congrats to Lv on the promotion
and raise!

And when you two leave,

make sure you hand everything over
to Lv Mingliang properly.

Yes, Mr. Pei.

Mr. Pei, I don't want to travel!

Congratulations.

Thanks, everyone.

Wait, I'm not done speaking.

Besides Mr. Pei,

I also want to thank Lin Wan,
Bao, and Lv.

My success today

is thanks to every single one of you.

Thank you, everyone!

Mr. Pei,

I will never let you down.

The first elimination

was a complete success.

(Tengda)

- Mr. Ma, welcome back.
- Mr. Ma, welcome back.

Yes, I'm back. Perfect sync.

Welcome back, Mr. Ma.

Mr. Ma.

I'm back.

Annual Best Employee Top One?

And Top Two?

I'm only gone for two days,

and you've already put up
a hall of fame?

They're not even here,

so why stick their photos up?

Next time, I'm winning that award.

Just watch.

Let's go eat.

Yun, lunch time.

Lv, lunch time.

What's wrong, Lv?

I'm just an R&D programmer.

Why did Mr. Pei make me

a project manager?

Do you think Mr. Pei
found out I secretly

helped you guys fix bugs?

No way. We never said anything.

How would he even know?

The first time I agreed
to help Huang Sibo

was because he was way too intense.

I didn't want to deal with
that kind of project manager,

so I helped him.

Just to make him stop bugging me.

And now look.

I helped and helped
until I got myself dragged in.

Now I'm the one in charge.

Stop thinking about it. Let's go to eat.

I'm starving.

Let's go.

Here it is.

I'm not eating.

What are you guys doing?

It's lunch break.

Absolutely no overtime is allowed.

Overtime?

No.

Mr. Pei...

I swear I did not work overtime.

I hate working overtime.

How about you assign someone else
to lead the project?

I'm just a code monkey.

There's still so much I need to learn.

Or maybe I could study

different game update strategies.

We need to prepare for the future.

Updates?

Who said anything about updates?

Let me tell you something. From now on,

we will not update any of our games.

- No updates at all?
- What?

That's right.

We can't just

rest on past achievements.

We need to let go of the old games.

Remember what I said.

From now on, no game

is allowed to receive any updates.

But games stagnate if they don't evolve.

If we don't release new games,

we'll be eliminated very quickly.

Exactly.

That's why we need to make new games.

Do you already have

new plans for the next game?

What do we need to do?

Let's not rush that for now.

Let Lv get used to his new role first.

Wait, Mr. Pei...

Do I really have to get used to it?

Can we promote someone else instead?

I get it.

Young people

are meant to grow.

You can't let a promotion

put too much pressure on you.

Physical and mental health come first.

Look at you,

you've...

stopped growing taller.

Eat properly.

Mr. Pei...

I don't want to grow.

It's fine. Come on, let's eat.

Let's go.

♪Beyond the pavilion, by the old road♪

♪Green grass stretches to the sky♪

♪A gentle breeze stirs the willows,
the flute's notes fade away♪

♪The sun sets beyond the distant hills♪

Stop singing.

Stop singing.

You're going to make me leave.

Mr. Ma, what's wrong?

There's no one here anyway.

I figured I'd sing a bit,
and blow off some steam.

I'll sing more quietly, then.

♪Beyond the pavilion♪

Hello, sir. How many people?

We've got food, drinks,
and internet here.

Everything you need.

♪Green grass stretches to the sky♪

Have you been the one singing
these past few days?

Yeah, that was me.

Do you realize you're disturbing
the neighbors?

You sound like a dying cat.

I've been circling outside for ages.

I seriously can't take it anymore.

Sorry about that.

Sorry...

Are you the owner?

Are you hiring singers here?

Let me sing instead.

This is unbearable.

This place was just rented out.

So you'll need to move along.

You won't be able to stay here anymore.

Weren't you the guy earlier
burning incense outside?

I'm just a programmer.

Why would Mr. Pei make me
project manager?

I'm in charge of the project,

but who's in charge of my life?

All I wanted was a job where I
could slack off on the clock.

Clock out on time and go have fun.

But I never expected this.

Why did it turn out like this?

Don't put so much pressure on yourself.

If anything comes up,

just come to me for help.

You've already had
five glasses of juice.

Why not have some alcohol?

We don't work tomorrow.

No way. I'm hiking
with someone tomorrow.

I need to get up early.

Here.

Luckily, Mr. Pei hasn't assigned me

any specific tasks yet.

I can still catch my breath.

Or if the intensity ramps up
all at once,

I wouldn't be able to handle it.

I think he just wants us

to calm down and think about the future.

The old games were
making money effortlessly,

yet he banned updates.

Instead, he's putting effort
into developing new projects.

He's not the kind of mediocre boss

who just sits on past achievements.

That's why Tengda can become

truly unmatched in the industry.

I think

you're actually more suited to be
the project manager.

You're basically built for it.

I originally thought the job
would go to you.

I didn't expect it to go to me.

I'll go talk to Mr. Pei.
You'd definitely do this job

better than I.

Don't say that, Lv.

Don't sell yourself short.

Mr. Pei chose you,

so he must have his reasons.

I just need to get more involved
in the work

and gain more experience.

Hello, everyone.

My name is Chen Lei.

I'll be performing

an original song of my own.

♪Dizzy♪

♪A moment's carelessness♪

You know what?

This kid actually has some real talent.

The song he wrote isn't bad at all.

Just like me,

we're both the creative type.

Guess people really do need to dress up.

Who would've thought Chen Lei
used to be like that?

If he's just singing on stage,

isn't giving him a 30 percent cut

of the drink sales a bit too much?

Maybe make it ten percent?

I'm kind of regretting it.

It's not too much.
Thirty percent isn't too much.

Isn't it?

Aren't we still losing money anyway?

We're not even profitable.

Where are you getting the commission
to give him?

True.

Compared to me,

he's still lacking a bit
in explosive power.

Here you go, guys.

Lv's non-alcoholic Alexander.

Lin Wan's Screwdriver.

Thanks, Mr. Ma.

Mr. Ma, why did you suddenly
change singers today?

The previous singer

was honestly a bit of a challenge
for customers.

But this one today

might just turn things around.

Turn things around?

We're still losing money,
barely scraping by.

Come, let's have a toast.

To Mr. Ma.

Here.

You two enjoy.

(One Month Later)

(General Manager's Office)

This...

Where is this unsettling feeling
coming from?

My right eye has been twitching
all morning.

Don't tell me some project
made money again.

Hello, everyone. I'm Chen Lei.

Next, I'd like to perform

another original song,

Good Morning.

What happened to my internet cafe?

What happened to my

quiet, deserted internet cafe?

♪It wants to wake me up♪

♪When I say good morning♪

♪I say good morning♪

♪I say good morning♪

♪I say good morning♪

♪To light up all the darkness♪

♪To turn sadness into soup♪

Is that Mr. Pei?

It is Mr. Pei.

Mr. Pei!

- Mr. Pei!
- Mr. Pei!

Pretty awesome, huh?

♪On a proud morning♪

Why didn't you call before coming?

Get down here.

Come down.

What did he say?

He's treating the two of us to drinks.

Look how happy he is.

He's even dancing along.

♪To light up everything♪

Well, Mr. Pei?

Are you surprised?
Aren't I capable?

If nothing unexpected happens,

by tomorrow afternoon,

before 3:42 PM,

we'll officially turn profitable.

Let's celebrate.

Profitable?

Ma Yang, Ma Yang...

Do you have any idea how lucky it is
I got here in time?

Do you know how big a mess
you've made for me?

You've thrown my entire plan off.

You've done massive damage
to Tengda's image.

Do you understand?

What's wrong with turning a profit?

Ma Yang.

Did I put you in charge
of M&Y Internet Cafe

just to make a profit?

My goal was...

Right. Exactly.

To serve as a window
for our corporate image,

something to showcase to the public.

But look at what it is now.

Now it's...

Inside it's a

live house.

Outside is a seaside-style town.

Ma Yang.

Now you've even learned to talk back.

If you're going to be like this,

then I can't have
a business conversation with you.

It's a seaside-style food stall, okay?

Ma Yang.

I'm not saying
being down-to-earth is bad,

but the problem is

what company would turn
its flagship store

into a nightclub on one side,

and food stalls outside?

Do you know what this is called?

This is penny-wise and pound-foolish.

Then what do we do, Mr. Pei?

Mr. Pei, just give the order.

Whatever you say, we'll do.

It's actually simple.

Remove all this flashy,

neon nonsense.

And that

"dying-by-the-sea" style food stall?

Restore everything
back to the way it was.

Huh? What?

Not "dying" style.

It's "seaside" style.

Then what about Chen Lei?

(M&Y Internet Cafe)

(Profits: Lonely Road, Divine General Pact,
Deserted Island Sharpshooter)

(Loss: M&Y Internet Cafe)

(Tengda Total Assets)

One two, one two.

One two, one two.

One two.

(Good originals plus good voice)

(plus rapping skills, one
of the great cosmetic enhancements)

(plus pretty decent looks)

(equals a fan-magnet,)

(an obstacle for the internet cafe,)

(and a stumbling block to losing money.)

Mr. Pei.

Chen Lei.

I heard you've never left Jinchuan
your whole life.

Do you want to go see the outside world?

Look at you,

you're so good-looking.

Eyes, nose, mouth, the whole package.

Don't you want to be an idol?

Your voice is heavenly.

Don't you want more people to hear it?

Chen Lei,

life is long, very long.

It's about time you started thinking

about your own dream.

Mr. Pei, I've never really had
any dreams since I was little.

I don't know what I should do,

and I don't know where I should go.

Let me tell you

where you should go.

With your talent,

you should leave Jinchuan,

go nationwide and compete.

Let the whole country know you.

But I'm just an ordinary person.

M&Y Internet Cafe is pretty great.

I feel comfortable staying here.

It's actually quite nice
to live in the moment.

If I go chasing a dream
just to have one,

won't I get even more lost?

Being lost is the point.

If you

have no experience,

how can you ever find yourself?

A guy once told me,

you can't see what "you" are.

Only when you go out
and experience things,

hit something and bounce back,

will you discover what you are.

So,

I'm willing to sponsor you

to go see the outside world,

to go find yourself.

And with Tengda backing you up,

even if you fail,

you can come back
to M&Y Internet Cafe anytime.

What do you say?

Really?

(Chenggong South)

(Two Weeks Later)

Thank you all for coming today.

Starting tomorrow,

I won't be singing here anymore.

Why?

What happened?

No need to overthink it.

I've never really found
a purpose in life,

and I don't see much of a future

until I met someone.

He woke me up.

He's willing to sponsor me

to look for stronger possibilities.

I love you all.

I love this place.

And I'm grateful to everyone.

But

this is a precious opportunity.

I want to go out and take a shot.

I want to try...

To see how far I can go,

and to see if I can find

my life's purpose.

That's a good thing.

We support you!

If you get rich, don't forget us!

Ten glasses of White Moon on me.

Wishing you a smooth journey!

- I'll chip in too!
- Me too!

- Me too! Me too!
- And me!

Thank you, everyone.

I'd like to dedicate

this last song to all of you.

It's almost the Chinese New Year.

I hope everyone

can reunite with your families

and have a warm, wonderful
Chinese New Year.

Mr. Ma, don't be sad.

Chen Lei is sentimental.

You've been so good to him.

He'll definitely come back to see you.

Just when we were about to start
making money,

the kid's making his debut.

And we still have to sponsor him.

So what do we do?

Don't overthink it.

We have to listen to Mr. Pei.

It's fine.

If Chen Lei leaves,

we'll just hire a new resident singer.

Besides,

you've still got me.

Worst case,

I'll go up there and keep singing.

This is my signature song.

♪Beyond♪

♪Beyond the pavilion, by the old road♪

♪Green grass stretches to the sky♪

♪A gentle breeze stirs the willows,
the flute's notes fade away♪

♪The sun sets beyond the distant hills♪

(One Month Later)

So this is what you're all
talking about?

No way. Absolutely not.

Exactly.

Mr. Ge,

the elevator installation

was initiated
by the neighborhood committee.

You agreed too,

and the neighbors all agreed
to compensate you.

So why did you change your mind

the moment
the construction team arrived?

- Yeah.
- Yes.

Yeah. Mr. Ge.

When we negotiated

the elevator installation,

didn't your whole family sign?

Yeah.

So why are you refusing now?

Last year was last year.

This year's a different situation.

Sure, the people who live upstairs

don't have to climb stairs anymore.

But what about us on the first floor?

This is just unreasonable.

There's barely any space,

and your elevator takes it all up.

That space out front

is public space.

Exactly.

When your family

piled junk there,
and grew vegetables and flowers,

didn't we all let it slide?

You piled junk there too.

Yeah.

Installing an elevator

is for everyone's convenience.

You agreed back then.

If you didn't want it
in the first place,

why did you agree at all?

Yeah.

If you didn't agree, just don't sign it.

Are you trying to jack up the price now?

Hey! What's with you people?

You think you're right just because
there are more of you and you're louder?

Let me tell you, we are dead set against
installing an elevator.

How can you be so unreasonable?

It's just climbing stairs.

You've climbed them your whole lives.

Keep climbing.

You won't be climbing them
much longer anyway.

How can you talk like that?

Who says something that nasty?

That's too much.

That was really cruel of you to say.

Mr. Pei.

We're discussing an issue here.

Why are you yelling?

Who's yelling?

You are.

You're being unreasonable.

There you go yelling again.

You agreed, so let them install it.

Dad...

Dad! Mom!

Madam Zhang, Mr. Ge.

Why are you arguing
during the Chinese New Year?

If there's an issue, talk it out.

Stay out of it.

He's got a clear head.

You're no match for him.

If you're willing to negotiate,

surely, we can work something out.

Do you mean that?

Then name your terms.

- Yeah.
- Go on.

How about this?

Compensate me for this amount.

That much?

No way.

Mr. Ge...

Mr. Ge, we've been neighbors
for so many years.

Just do everyone a favor.

Look, there are lots of elderly people

with bad knees and heart problems.

Just help us out.

Can you name a more realistic number?

Realistic?

I am being realistic.
Who's covering my losses?

Exactly.

Let's not guilt-trip people.

This is bullying.

I heard you've been

doing pretty well in Jinchuan, huh?

You even bought your parents
a big house.

You can afford a big house now?

You bought a big house?

Is that true?

You're bragging, aren't you?

You don't even have to wait
until retirement.

Just move over there right now.

Who's bragging?

Who's bragging?

My son bought a place in Jinchuan.

We all went to see it.

Mingri Apartments, one of those
huge flat units.

If your son is that successful

and can buy a huge flat in Jinchuan,

why are you stirring up trouble
in our run-down old building?

Let me make this clear today.

I don't agree.

No one's installing an elevator here.

You're being unreasonable!

Forget it.

Forget it.

Forget it.

Forget it.

Pei Youjun.

Have a drink.

Pei Youjun.

Have a drink?

I'm not drinking.

I'm in a bad mood.

Son, come eat.

It's all your dad's signature dishes.

Your favorites.

Son,

why did you come back
so early this year?

Dad, Mom, I forgot to tell you,
I switched to a new job.

The boss was worried tickets home
would be hard to get

during the Chinese New Year,
so he gave us our leave early.

Thanks.

What job did you switch to?

Is it stable?

Since you're back early,

will you be leaving early too?

Dad, Mom,

my new company is called Tengda.

Even though it's a startup,

it's very stable.

And the company policies
are really relaxed.

This time, I'm not going back
until after the Lantern Festival.

What kind of boss is that, so generous

to give such a long holiday?

Yeah.

You used to only come back
on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Last year, your mom and I waited for you
for the reunion dinner,

but you came back on
the first day of the Chinese New Year.

Exactly.

Back at Fuhui,

holidays were basically just for show.

My new boss is nice,
and we get plenty of leave.

The company policies are relaxed too.

This time, I'll leave
after the Lantern Festival,

so I can spend more time with you.

Dad, here.

I got tea for you.

It's Pu'er tea.

Pu'er tea is great.

It can be brewed many times.

Mom, this is for...

It's fine.

The flowers will bloom again next year.

The tea crumbled, but as long as
the flavor doesn't change, it's fine.

It had to be broken open up
sooner or later.

It's fine.

Come on, drink some soup.

Son,

today,

I was a bit impulsive.

Dad, Mom, listen,

this project I'm working on

is about to wrap up.

Once it's wrapped,
and I get my commission,

I'll go pay the down payment right away.

You can already pay a down payment?

Yeah.

But Mingri Apartments is so expensive.

Your commission is that high?

It is.

Yeah.

I was just

saying that to Mr. Ge.

I've known him for decades.

I couldn't help myself

from bragging.

Don't put pressure on yourself, okay?

There's no need to rush
to pay that down payment.

Right.

Dad, Mom,

put your minds at ease.

That was my plan from the start.

Who knew today would just happen
to be such a coincidence?

Once I pay the down payment,

I'll take you both to see it.

Really?

Good.

Come on, eat.

How about

a drink?

Sure.

It's the Chinese New Year.

Come on, I'll hold it down for you.

Here.

You said you'd give yourself

one year.

It's been a year.

Isn't it time you came back
to work for the family?

Thank you for being willing
to give me that time.

And I really did find

a place where I can pursue my ideals
and prove my worth.

I hope you can support me

and let me stay at Tengda.

Isn't it still just a game company?

Tengda isn't even as good as Sky Fire
in the industry.

Tengda is a startup,

so, of course,
it's smaller than Sky Fire,

but it's different.

The boss is a man of vision.

Besides,

the gaming industry
is pretty interesting too.

Could you please put aside your bias?

Wouldn't the family business

be a better place for you
to prove your worth?

The way you're running yourself
ragged every day,

doing errands for other people

for such a small salary,

how does that prove your worth?

Stop talking.

My year-end bonus this year

is six figures.

So what? It's just...

This is the red wine I bought you

with my year-end bonus,

as a small token of respect.

Actually,

when you came to this place,

your dad and I were really
worried about you.

But I can see that at this company,

you're in a really good state,

and you seem happy.

Tell me about it,

what's actually different

between this company and that one?

Oh, there's so much.

Our boss, Pei Qian,

works in a run-down office,

but he gave us employees

F4-rated (Highest-level
eco-certification standard) working spaces.

And he's really innovative
with game-making too.

Dad, give me your phone.

Let me show you this game

called The Lonely Road.

It's the game he started out with.

It's a small game,

but he incorporated
his own philosophy into it.

And then there's Divine General Pact.

(The Lonely Road)
Its gacha system

is designed to be fair,
without pay-to-win.

Everyone thought it wouldn't make it,

but it blew up.

After that, we made
Deserted Island Sharpshooter.

He went to Sky Fire for a visit,

got influenced,

made a wrong call,

and he took the loss himself.

He even apologized to all of us,

saying the responsibility wasn't on us.

That really surprised me.

Is he a rich kid?

How did he build his business?

I don't think so.

From how he spends,
it doesn't really seem like it.

He probably put all his money
into the company.

He didn't even buy a car.

He rides a shared bike everywhere.

Interesting. A self-made guy.

Who knows if he's actually any good?

What if he's just setting you up
and conning you?

Dad,

our boss, Mr. Pei,

isn't like you business people.

Always looking miserable,

afraid of getting scammed or being used.

Besides, he treats everyone really well.

Every time he runs a project,

he's totally confident,
calm and relaxed.

He's nothing like you guys.

Is that so?

Sounds like I'll have to go
meet this Mr. Pei myself.

Hello, Ms. Mei, Happy Chinese New Year.

Who is this?

I'm the one who previously

came to view the unit
at Mingri Apartments,

Pei Qian.

Mr. Pei!

I haven't heard from you in ages.

Are you still interested in

a unit at Mingri Apartments?

I thought you weren't buying.

Of course, I'm buying.

There aren't many units left.

If you're serious,
I can hold one for you,

but you need to hurry.

When I get back
after the Chinese New Year,

we can sign the contract.

Deal.

Then I'll prepare the contract.

I'll come back after the Chinese
New Year to sign it. Thanks.

(Dear viewers...)

Has it started yet?

It's started.

(Welcome to Dream Voice.)

(Dream Voice, singing for you.)

(Dream Voice)
(I'm your old friend...)

I just love watching this talent show.

They sing so well.

(Join the music starship)

(and cruise through
the galaxy of melody...)

This is great.

What are you watching, Mom?

That original singer from Jinchuan

is Chen Lei.

(Next, please welcome with applause)

(the original singer from Jinchuan,)

(Chen Lei.)

It's him?

Son, you know Chen Lei?

I...

Ever since Chen Lei showed up,

your mom barely pays attention
to me anymore.

What are you talking about?

He's just a resident singer,

but he sings so well.

That's no small thing.

Son, do you think he can win?

He...

♪Sunlight in my eyes♪

♪Listen♪

♪The cat must have set the alarm♪

might...

No way.

Hey, why are you talking like that?

Just like your dad,

jealous, bitter, and resentful.

What would I be jealous of?

Son, you're not watching?

♪I say good morning♪

(His charm instantly conquers
the whole room.)

(So handsome! A real contender.
He's driving the whole show's rhythm!)

Happy Chinese New Year, everyone!

I'm sending out red envelopes!

Wishing you prosperity
and great fortune!

(Ms. Xin)

Hello?

Hello, Ms. Xin. Happy Chinese New Year.

Hello? What did you say?

I can't hear you.

I know you've worked hard this year,

so I wanted to send you a red envelope.

At least a thousand yuan, right?

But as the boss,

I can't play favorites.

I have to send them
to other employees too,

don't you agree?

It's too noisy here. Let's talk later.

Hello?

(Ms. Xin)

Happy Chinese New Year, everyone.

After the holiday, please come

and support M&Y Internet Cafe more.

I'm sending out red envelopes!

Wishing everyone a happy
Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year, everyone.

After the holiday, please come

and support M&Y Internet Cafe more.

Wishing everyone a happy
Chinese New Year.

I'm a project manager now.

Wouldn't that be inappropriate?

I'll send one.

(Send red envelope: 5000)

Lv, come over and play with us.

Lv, come on.

Coming.

Come on!

Coming!

- Happy Chinese New Year!
- Happy Chinese New Year!

(You've received a WeChat message)

A red envelope?

(Lv Mingliang's red envelope:
Happy Chinese New Year)

I'll send one, too.

(Number of red envelopes: 48)

Guys,

I'd appreciate it if you could help me

think of some business ideas
over the holidays.

And Mr. Pei, I'd love your advice.

What is this stuff novels
are putting out now?

Each one's worse than the last.

I could write better than that.

(You've received a WeChat message)

A red envelope.

Is it Chinese New Year already?

(Loading...)

No signal.

Is this trip

ever going to end?

(Tengda Family)

(Wishing you prosperity
and great fortune.)

(Wallet: 75.4)

(Happy Chinese New Year, Mr. Pei.)

(The contract is ready.)

(Come sign after the Chinese New Year.)

(Sure.)

(Sure.)

(In the past year,)

(no matter what your job is,)

(you've all gone through struggle
and hardship.)

(Take a moment to tell yourself )

("You've worked hard.")

(Whether or not you have regrets
from the past year,)

(what awaits us next)

(will be a spring full of hope.)
