(This story is purely fictional)

4
00:02:17,790 --> 00:02:18,510
Hello?

5
00:02:19,230 --> 00:02:19,990
Dad, Mom.

6
00:02:20,230 --> 00:02:22,140
Son, where are you?

7
00:02:22,270 --> 00:02:23,280
Your new house?

8
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,510
How's the renovation going?

9
00:02:24,510 --> 00:02:25,510
Show us.

10
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:26,860
I'm in the new house.

11
00:02:26,860 --> 00:02:27,990
Let me show you.

12
00:02:27,990 --> 00:02:28,740
Look.

13
00:02:29,740 --> 00:02:30,700
I'm getting ready

14
00:02:30,700 --> 00:02:31,830
to renovate the house.

15
00:02:33,670 --> 00:02:34,700
See, I told you.

16
00:02:34,700 --> 00:02:35,670
It's a huge project.

17
00:02:35,670 --> 00:02:37,020
It's going to take some time.

18
00:02:38,510 --> 00:02:39,420
You know,

19
00:02:39,790 --> 00:02:41,670
Uncle Ge and Aunt Zhang

20
00:02:41,670 --> 00:02:43,350
came to annoy your dad today.

21
00:02:43,350 --> 00:02:45,180
They said, "Your son
has bought a new house,

22
00:02:45,180 --> 00:02:47,070
so why isn't he letting you move in?"

23
00:02:47,070 --> 00:02:49,350
Your dad got so angry,
and his blood pressure shot high.

24
00:02:51,950 --> 00:02:53,270
Don't listen to your mother.

25
00:02:53,420 --> 00:02:55,390
I won't stoop to the same level as Ge.

26
00:02:55,390 --> 00:02:57,300
I'm telling you,
I'm still exercising every day,

27
00:02:57,300 --> 00:02:58,613
climbing up and down the stairs.

28
00:02:58,635 --> 00:02:59,510
Later, I'm going

29
00:02:59,510 --> 00:03:00,580
to take the trash out.

30
00:03:00,580 --> 00:03:02,110
Look how healthy I am.

31
00:03:02,110 --> 00:03:02,670
Right?

32
00:03:05,390 --> 00:03:06,510
Dad, Mom, don't worry.

33
00:03:06,510 --> 00:03:07,350
I will

34
00:03:07,860 --> 00:03:08,740
get it done quickly

35
00:03:08,740 --> 00:03:10,300
so you can move in soon.

36
00:03:10,300 --> 00:03:10,860
Okay?

37
00:03:11,670 --> 00:03:12,420
Son.

38
00:03:12,420 --> 00:03:14,390
Don't worry about the house.

39
00:03:14,510 --> 00:03:15,790
Don't worry about us.

40
00:03:16,110 --> 00:03:17,270
Take care of yourself.

41
00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:18,391
Don't over-exert yourself.

42
00:03:18,391 --> 00:03:18,990
Yes.

43
00:03:20,510 --> 00:03:21,790
Dad, Mom, I have work to do.

44
00:03:21,790 --> 00:03:22,510
Bye.

45
00:03:22,510 --> 00:03:22,900
Okay.

46
00:03:22,900 --> 00:03:23,350
Sure.

47
00:03:23,350 --> 00:03:23,740
Bye.

48
00:03:26,390 --> 00:03:27,390
What did you tell him?

49
00:03:27,390 --> 00:03:28,350
Why make him worry?

50
00:04:04,140 --> 00:04:05,790
I need to branch out

51
00:04:05,790 --> 00:04:07,070
to make more losses.

52
00:04:14,180 --> 00:04:14,860
Go!

53
00:04:14,860 --> 00:04:15,670
Save me!

54
00:04:15,670 --> 00:04:16,620
Defend Mr. Ma!

55
00:04:17,740 --> 00:04:19,300
Save me!

56
00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:21,180
I'm on a 12-kill streak!
I'm trying my best!

57
00:04:22,110 --> 00:04:23,550
Go!

58
00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:26,470
Sorry.

59
00:04:26,470 --> 00:04:27,500
I'm a noob, sorry.

60
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:28,180
Start again.

61
00:04:28,180 --> 00:04:28,940
It's okay.

62
00:04:29,300 --> 00:04:30,420
Will you win for sure?

63
00:04:30,860 --> 00:04:31,860
Dude, wait.

64
00:04:31,860 --> 00:04:32,860
You're up next.

65
00:04:33,620 --> 00:04:34,350
It's okay.

66
00:04:35,180 --> 00:04:36,110
That's not a dude.

67
00:04:36,740 --> 00:04:37,820
It's Mr. Pei.

68
00:04:39,620 --> 00:04:41,620
- Hello, Mr. Pei!
- Hi, Mr. Pei!

69
00:04:42,740 --> 00:04:43,620
Hello, everyone.

70
00:04:44,060 --> 00:04:44,620
Come on.

71
00:04:44,620 --> 00:04:46,813
You're not playing anymore
because the boss is here?

72
00:04:46,813 --> 00:04:48,880
You cowards want to get involved
in venture capital?

73
00:04:49,060 --> 00:04:49,590
Relax.

74
00:04:49,590 --> 00:04:51,670
Mr. Pei is not the kind
of ordinary boss.

75
00:04:51,670 --> 00:04:52,620
Sit down.

76
00:04:52,860 --> 00:04:54,350
- Sit down.
- Just sit.

77
00:04:54,620 --> 00:04:55,860
Introductions are in order.

78
00:04:56,180 --> 00:04:57,420
These people are new recruits

79
00:04:57,420 --> 00:04:58,710
for DreamForge Capital.

80
00:04:58,710 --> 00:05:00,168
They're from the same college as ours.

81
00:05:00,860 --> 00:05:01,740
Huang Wang,

82
00:05:01,740 --> 00:05:03,620
1,830 points on the Summit Ranking.

83
00:05:04,180 --> 00:05:05,060
Jiang Huan,

84
00:05:05,060 --> 00:05:06,820
1,780 points on the Summit Ranking.

85
00:05:06,820 --> 00:05:07,420
Amazing, right?

86
00:05:07,420 --> 00:05:08,613
No need to introduce the rest.

87
00:05:08,657 --> 00:05:09,550
I've read your resumes.

88
00:05:09,550 --> 00:05:10,670
All of you couldn't receive

89
00:05:10,670 --> 00:05:11,380
any offers, right?

90
00:05:11,380 --> 00:05:12,910
The counselor told me

91
00:05:13,060 --> 00:05:14,590
to help these juniors

92
00:05:14,860 --> 00:05:16,470
fulfill their dreams.

93
00:05:16,470 --> 00:05:17,470
So, I decided

94
00:05:17,470 --> 00:05:18,420
to let them join.

95
00:05:18,420 --> 00:05:19,180
Ma Yang.

96
00:05:19,180 --> 00:05:21,030
You're getting into the groove,

97
00:05:21,380 --> 00:05:22,380
but you're neglecting

98
00:05:22,380 --> 00:05:23,620
a crucial problem.

99
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:25,060
Everyone woke up early

100
00:05:25,060 --> 00:05:26,820
to play games with Mr. Ma.

101
00:05:26,820 --> 00:05:28,391
This can cause work-related injuries.

102
00:05:28,391 --> 00:05:29,180
Everyone.

103
00:05:29,180 --> 00:05:30,940
After work, you can claim five skins

104
00:05:31,060 --> 00:05:32,550
as your reward.

105
00:05:35,550 --> 00:05:36,180
Great!

106
00:05:36,180 --> 00:05:37,180
Five skins?

107
00:05:44,180 --> 00:05:45,420
Tang Yishu?

108
00:05:45,860 --> 00:05:46,550
Tang?

109
00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:48,030
Mr. Pei.

110
00:05:49,180 --> 00:05:49,820
You...

111
00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:51,940
What happened to you?

112
00:05:54,060 --> 00:05:54,740
Nothing.

113
00:05:54,740 --> 00:05:56,060
I slipped and fell.

114
00:05:58,990 --> 00:05:59,670
(Tang Yishu,)

115
00:05:59,670 --> 00:06:00,990
(my college junior.)

116
00:06:00,990 --> 00:06:01,910
(Goddess of Bad Luck)
(On the day she graduated,)

117
00:06:01,910 --> 00:06:03,120
(Expert in Silence)
(she lost her graduation degree.)

118
00:06:03,124 --> 00:06:05,030
(On the day of her exam,
she lost her exam slip.)

119
00:06:05,035 --> 00:06:07,320
(Three years since she graduated,
she's never found a job.)

120
00:06:09,550 --> 00:06:10,670
Take care.

121
00:06:10,990 --> 00:06:11,740
Ma Yang.

122
00:06:15,550 --> 00:06:16,180
Ma Yang.

123
00:06:16,180 --> 00:06:16,990
I'm telling you.

124
00:06:17,740 --> 00:06:18,670
You did a great job

125
00:06:18,820 --> 00:06:20,180
recruiting Tang.

126
00:06:20,180 --> 00:06:21,300
She's going to be

127
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:23,300
our guardian spirit in DreamForge.

128
00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:24,110
Okay.

129
00:06:24,110 --> 00:06:25,860
Get her to do a full body checkup.

130
00:06:25,860 --> 00:06:26,670
Sure.

131
00:06:27,670 --> 00:06:28,180
Qian.

132
00:06:28,180 --> 00:06:31,550
Well, the counselor said we don't need
to hire all of them.

133
00:06:31,820 --> 00:06:32,670
Do you think

134
00:06:33,180 --> 00:06:34,790
there are too many people here?

135
00:06:34,790 --> 00:06:36,550
You couldn't find
a job back then, either.

136
00:06:36,550 --> 00:06:37,820
Did that stop you from becoming

137
00:06:37,820 --> 00:06:39,470
my most trusted partner?

138
00:06:41,670 --> 00:06:42,990
They're all talented.

139
00:06:42,990 --> 00:06:43,420
Okay.

140
00:06:43,420 --> 00:06:43,990
Nurture them.

141
00:06:43,990 --> 00:06:44,550
Sure.

142
00:06:46,990 --> 00:06:47,990
Friends!

143
00:06:48,300 --> 00:06:49,230
One more round!

144
00:06:49,230 --> 00:06:50,300
Nice!

145
00:06:50,300 --> 00:06:51,740
- One more round!
- Come on!

146
00:06:56,740 --> 00:06:57,500
Hi, Mr. Pei.

147
00:06:57,500 --> 00:06:58,420
This is Bao Xu.

148
00:06:58,420 --> 00:06:59,620
I'm in Italy.

149
00:06:59,740 --> 00:07:00,380
Take a look.

150
00:07:05,180 --> 00:07:06,500
Mr. Pei, this is Bao Xu.

151
00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:08,030
I'm in Spain.

152
00:07:08,550 --> 00:07:09,470
Take a look.

153
00:07:10,180 --> 00:07:12,110
Mr. Pei, this is Bao Xu.

154
00:07:12,180 --> 00:07:13,380
I'm in France.

155
00:07:13,740 --> 00:07:14,550
Please confirm.

156
00:07:14,550 --> 00:07:16,420
Mr. Pei, this is Bao Xu.

157
00:07:16,420 --> 00:07:17,990
I'm in the US.

158
00:07:17,990 --> 00:07:19,860
He's snatching my phone!

159
00:07:22,300 --> 00:07:24,420
Bao Xu, are you okay?

160
00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:27,940
(Typing...)

161
00:07:33,550 --> 00:07:34,420
Bao Xu.

162
00:07:34,740 --> 00:07:36,740
I won't forget your sacrifice.

163
00:07:38,300 --> 00:07:38,910
Mr. Pei.

164
00:07:38,910 --> 00:07:39,740
You're finally free.

165
00:07:39,740 --> 00:07:40,180
No...

166
00:07:40,180 --> 00:07:41,180
I just need five minutes.

167
00:07:41,180 --> 00:07:42,420
Five minutes.

168
00:07:42,420 --> 00:07:43,480
According to your demands,

169
00:07:43,546 --> 00:07:44,670
you want a soulslike game

170
00:07:44,670 --> 00:07:46,710
that combines core mechanics
with ancient poetry.

171
00:07:46,710 --> 00:07:47,590
I thought about it.

172
00:07:47,590 --> 00:07:49,380
When the gamers fight,

173
00:07:49,380 --> 00:07:51,110
during the anticipation period,

174
00:07:51,110 --> 00:07:53,620
they can attack by shouting
matching poetry lines.

175
00:07:55,550 --> 00:07:56,550
Take a look.

176
00:08:04,860 --> 00:08:06,230
You...

177
00:08:06,380 --> 00:08:07,230
managed

178
00:08:07,230 --> 00:08:08,380
to think of this?

179
00:08:10,060 --> 00:08:13,180
Does this meet your expectations?

180
00:08:14,550 --> 00:08:15,420
Yes.

181
00:08:16,030 --> 00:08:17,300
Why not?

182
00:08:18,180 --> 00:08:19,150
It's all thanks to you

183
00:08:19,150 --> 00:08:21,300
for making me compile
a list of failed games

184
00:08:21,300 --> 00:08:22,550
in the past.

185
00:08:22,550 --> 00:08:24,590
I did some research and got inspired.

186
00:08:25,030 --> 00:08:27,910
It seems that adding
elements of ancient poetry

187
00:08:27,910 --> 00:08:28,940
is feasible.

188
00:08:34,780 --> 00:08:35,500
Mr. Pei.

189
00:08:35,950 --> 00:08:36,780
What's wrong?

190
00:08:38,020 --> 00:08:39,070
My leg hurts.

191
00:08:40,900 --> 00:08:41,780
Your leg hurts?

192
00:08:45,070 --> 00:08:45,950
Lin Wan.

193
00:08:46,190 --> 00:08:48,660
In a soulslike game,

194
00:08:48,660 --> 00:08:50,430
we should set the difficulty

195
00:08:50,430 --> 00:08:52,230
to Hell Mode.

196
00:08:52,435 --> 00:08:53,470
Make games like Elden Ring

197
00:08:53,470 --> 00:08:54,070
feel irrelevant

198
00:08:54,260 --> 00:08:55,380
in front of this game.

199
00:08:55,380 --> 00:08:56,140
We need to

200
00:08:56,140 --> 00:08:57,710
make it the best game ever.

201
00:08:58,430 --> 00:08:59,230
Of course.

202
00:08:59,230 --> 00:09:00,380
Please tell me more

203
00:09:00,380 --> 00:09:02,140
about the difficulty level.

204
00:09:02,140 --> 00:09:04,070
So, how many players do you think

205
00:09:04,070 --> 00:09:06,146
should be eliminated
in early-game boss battles?

206
00:09:07,310 --> 00:09:08,950
Let's set it to...

207
00:09:09,430 --> 00:09:10,990
99...

208
00:09:11,430 --> 00:09:12,900
99.99%.

209
00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:15,260
99.9999%.

210
00:09:17,070 --> 00:09:17,540
Yeah.

211
00:09:17,540 --> 00:09:19,590
99.9999%

212
00:09:19,590 --> 00:09:20,190
of our players

213
00:09:20,190 --> 00:09:21,780
won't be hindered

214
00:09:21,780 --> 00:09:22,950
by the difficulty level.

215
00:09:22,950 --> 00:09:24,380
We need to believe in our players.

216
00:09:24,380 --> 00:09:26,710
They are capable
of overcoming these hurdles.

217
00:09:27,260 --> 00:09:29,620
Set the difficulty as great as you can.

218
00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:31,950
I'll work on the specifics myself.

219
00:09:33,310 --> 00:09:34,430
Are you serious?

220
00:09:34,430 --> 00:09:35,590
Of course.

221
00:09:36,190 --> 00:09:38,230
We can even add

222
00:09:38,660 --> 00:09:40,830
a mocking system.

223
00:09:41,190 --> 00:09:42,310
A mocking system?

224
00:09:42,310 --> 00:09:42,830
Yes.

225
00:09:42,830 --> 00:09:44,190
This will be an exclusive

226
00:09:44,190 --> 00:09:45,660
interaction between us

227
00:09:45,660 --> 00:09:46,990
and the players.

228
00:09:47,310 --> 00:09:48,020
You see.

229
00:09:48,020 --> 00:09:49,660
When it's game over for the players,

230
00:09:49,950 --> 00:09:50,830
our system

231
00:09:50,830 --> 00:09:52,660
will mock them

232
00:09:52,660 --> 00:09:53,830
ruthlessly

233
00:09:54,780 --> 00:09:56,860
to improve the immersive experience.

234
00:09:57,540 --> 00:09:59,540
This will be a paid game,

235
00:09:59,540 --> 00:10:01,260
but let's set the refund period

236
00:10:01,260 --> 00:10:03,350
as long as possible.

237
00:10:04,070 --> 00:10:05,190
Also, set a reminder

238
00:10:05,190 --> 00:10:06,070
so that the players

239
00:10:06,070 --> 00:10:06,830
can refund on time.

240
00:10:09,457 --> 00:10:10,457
Will this really work?

241
00:10:10,546 --> 00:10:11,310
Of course.

242
00:10:12,070 --> 00:10:13,260
This game

243
00:10:13,260 --> 00:10:14,590
shall be called

244
00:10:14,780 --> 00:10:16,620
Returning to Shore.

245
00:10:37,830 --> 00:10:39,470
Not a single reader.

246
00:10:40,190 --> 00:10:43,230
Not a single reader at all.

247
00:10:43,470 --> 00:10:45,020
Huang, don't worry.

248
00:10:45,020 --> 00:10:47,110
Our web fiction company has just begun.

249
00:10:47,110 --> 00:10:48,620
It's always tough at the start.

250
00:10:49,470 --> 00:10:52,660
We're not getting any views at all.

251
00:10:52,724 --> 00:10:54,230
I'm carrying a heavy responsibility.

252
00:10:54,230 --> 00:10:56,260
I feel like I'm letting Mr. Pei down.

253
00:10:56,260 --> 00:10:57,230
I don't even deserve

254
00:10:57,230 --> 00:10:58,990
a nice office like this.

255
00:10:59,350 --> 00:11:00,710
Huang.

256
00:11:01,350 --> 00:11:03,110
A veteran writer

257
00:11:03,110 --> 00:11:04,710
named Russell once said,

258
00:11:04,830 --> 00:11:07,110
if you think your work is important,

259
00:11:07,110 --> 00:11:09,470
it's a sign that you're going mad.

260
00:11:09,710 --> 00:11:11,230
You need to enjoy.

261
00:11:11,590 --> 00:11:12,470
Look.

262
00:11:12,590 --> 00:11:14,110
This office that Mr. Pei rented for you

263
00:11:14,110 --> 00:11:15,860
fits your style.

264
00:11:15,990 --> 00:11:16,950
Huang.

265
00:11:17,350 --> 00:11:19,110
Don't be anxious.

266
00:11:19,110 --> 00:11:21,110
Mr. Pei's wacky ideas

267
00:11:21,350 --> 00:11:24,230
may deter readers at first.

268
00:11:25,230 --> 00:11:27,070
I've given much thought about it.

269
00:11:27,470 --> 00:11:29,070
Our unconventional ideas

270
00:11:29,230 --> 00:11:30,710
may not be able to satisfy

271
00:11:30,710 --> 00:11:32,470
Mr. Pei's demands for innovation.

272
00:11:32,524 --> 00:11:34,470
We need to make it
more unconventional than ever.

273
00:11:34,470 --> 00:11:36,230
So, I wrote something like that.

274
00:11:36,230 --> 00:11:39,380
I wanted to see
whether this trailblazing writing style

275
00:11:39,380 --> 00:11:40,470
would ever work.

276
00:11:40,470 --> 00:11:41,350
In the end...

277
00:11:42,110 --> 00:11:43,230
Not a single reader.

278
00:11:43,230 --> 00:11:44,990
Huang, you're writing web fiction too?

279
00:11:44,990 --> 00:11:46,470
Show me.

280
00:11:46,830 --> 00:11:47,860
Well...

281
00:11:48,230 --> 00:11:49,230
It's embarrassing.

282
00:11:49,230 --> 00:11:51,380
A litterateur in the making, Huang?

283
00:11:54,470 --> 00:11:55,350
Huang.

284
00:11:55,860 --> 00:11:58,110
That's an interesting pseudonym.

285
00:11:58,110 --> 00:12:01,500
(A Survey Report on Wage Slaves)
Ma Dubiao?

286
00:12:02,430 --> 00:12:03,950
You can read that? Impressive.

287
00:12:03,950 --> 00:12:06,190
What a weird name.

288
00:12:06,740 --> 00:12:08,590
It's a username I created

289
00:12:08,590 --> 00:12:09,260
in my last job.

290
00:12:09,260 --> 00:12:10,590
It's close to my heart.

291
00:12:10,590 --> 00:12:12,380
Someone's reading it after all.

292
00:12:12,380 --> 00:12:13,950
You have a message from him.

293
00:12:15,702 --> 00:12:17,900
(You have a message from Niu Yanben)
How do you read that?

294
00:12:18,140 --> 00:12:19,590
Niu Yanben.

295
00:12:19,590 --> 00:12:21,350
You know a lot of words.

296
00:12:24,013 --> 00:12:25,230
Huang, why do you look like

297
00:12:25,230 --> 00:12:27,350
you've found your soulmate?

298
00:12:27,500 --> 00:12:28,540
Let's see what he wrote.

299
00:12:30,590 --> 00:12:33,350
Hello, Mr. Ma Dubiao.

300
00:12:33,350 --> 00:12:34,830
I am a novelist

301
00:12:34,830 --> 00:12:36,310
and ghostwriter.

302
00:12:36,310 --> 00:12:37,235
I'm not earning much.

303
00:12:37,235 --> 00:12:38,500
I'm about to lose faith,

304
00:12:38,500 --> 00:12:40,110
but after reading your work,

305
00:12:40,110 --> 00:12:41,380
I felt the same way

306
00:12:41,380 --> 00:12:42,500
and got motivated.

307
00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:43,950
Even though no one's

308
00:12:43,950 --> 00:12:45,310
reading your work, just like mine,

309
00:12:45,310 --> 00:12:46,350
please don't give up.

310
00:12:46,350 --> 00:12:47,660
Let's continue writing

311
00:12:47,660 --> 00:12:50,070
and have faith in our talents.

312
00:12:51,310 --> 00:12:53,020
It's so hard to be a writer.

313
00:12:53,020 --> 00:12:54,540
I guess that's why

314
00:12:54,540 --> 00:12:56,070
Mr. Pei wanted to create

315
00:12:56,070 --> 00:12:57,430
Zhongdian Web Fiction,

316
00:12:57,430 --> 00:12:58,620
so that he could protect

317
00:12:58,620 --> 00:12:59,830
these grassroots writers.

318
00:13:02,540 --> 00:13:04,110
What a visionary.

319
00:13:09,230 --> 00:13:10,950
Send me your account details.

320
00:13:10,950 --> 00:13:12,280
I'll transfer some money to you...

321
00:13:12,302 --> 00:13:13,020
Huang.

322
00:13:13,260 --> 00:13:15,950
Instead of giving him a fish,
why not teach him how to fish?

323
00:13:16,430 --> 00:13:18,430
Let him join Zhongdian Web Fiction.

324
00:13:20,740 --> 00:13:21,830
That makes sense.

325
00:13:24,740 --> 00:13:25,540
Huang.

326
00:13:26,740 --> 00:13:27,900
I have an idea

327
00:13:27,900 --> 00:13:30,190
about our web fiction company.

328
00:13:39,380 --> 00:13:40,860
(Shenhua International)

329
00:13:40,860 --> 00:13:47,180
(DreamForge Capital)

330
00:13:47,190 --> 00:13:47,860
Qian.

331
00:13:48,540 --> 00:13:50,860
These projects aren't working out,
are they?

332
00:13:51,310 --> 00:13:52,110
Ma Yang.

333
00:13:52,590 --> 00:13:53,900
I've always known

334
00:13:53,900 --> 00:13:56,310
that the investment market
is full of odds,

335
00:13:56,950 --> 00:13:58,380
but I didn't expect

336
00:13:58,380 --> 00:14:01,020
it also has so many...

337
00:14:01,740 --> 00:14:03,020
Talents.

338
00:14:04,950 --> 00:14:05,900
Regarding investment,

339
00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:07,430
you should talk to Ms. Xin.

340
00:14:07,430 --> 00:14:10,070
She has a keen eye in investment.

341
00:14:10,070 --> 00:14:11,500
If she sees these projects,

342
00:14:11,500 --> 00:14:12,470
she'd say,

343
00:14:13,430 --> 00:14:15,260
"These projects are too early-stage."

344
00:14:15,500 --> 00:14:16,230
Early-stage?

345
00:14:16,950 --> 00:14:17,990
"Do you have something

346
00:14:17,990 --> 00:14:19,950
that's more complete,

347
00:14:19,950 --> 00:14:21,470
that can be implemented right away?"

348
00:14:22,830 --> 00:14:24,380
Right away?

349
00:14:27,140 --> 00:14:28,110
There is.

350
00:14:31,070 --> 00:14:32,860
As society develops,

351
00:14:32,860 --> 00:14:34,620
public telephone booths

352
00:14:34,620 --> 00:14:35,740
have been disused,

353
00:14:36,590 --> 00:14:37,540
abandoned

354
00:14:37,660 --> 00:14:38,830
and even destroyed.

355
00:14:39,430 --> 00:14:41,740
This is a huge crack
in cultural continuity,

356
00:14:41,740 --> 00:14:43,660
causing precious memories to fade,

357
00:14:43,660 --> 00:14:46,230
and a painful phenomenon
amid development.

358
00:14:47,110 --> 00:14:47,780
I shall

359
00:14:48,110 --> 00:14:49,830
combine vending machines

360
00:14:49,830 --> 00:14:51,710
and phone booths

361
00:14:51,710 --> 00:14:52,500
to create

362
00:14:53,430 --> 00:14:54,990
a vending machine

363
00:14:55,500 --> 00:14:57,260
designed like a phone booth.

364
00:14:57,260 --> 00:14:58,260
With art,

365
00:14:58,260 --> 00:14:59,990
we shall reshape everyone's aesthetics.

366
00:15:00,110 --> 00:15:01,310
With nostalgia,

367
00:15:01,310 --> 00:15:02,710
we shall recall everyone's memories.

368
00:15:02,860 --> 00:15:03,620
With convenience,

369
00:15:03,900 --> 00:15:05,990
we shall change everyone's lives.

370
00:15:05,990 --> 00:15:07,860
Parallel sentences.

371
00:15:07,860 --> 00:15:08,710
He must have

372
00:15:08,710 --> 00:15:10,830
at least graduated from middle school.

373
00:15:11,110 --> 00:15:12,620
From what I heard,

374
00:15:12,620 --> 00:15:14,260
it's just a vending machine, right?

375
00:15:14,260 --> 00:15:15,380
I'm telling you.

376
00:15:15,380 --> 00:15:16,950
This may be a small project,

377
00:15:17,660 --> 00:15:19,950
but it sounds good.

378
00:15:19,950 --> 00:15:20,950
It's good?

379
00:15:21,110 --> 00:15:22,380
Let's think about it first.

380
00:15:23,140 --> 00:15:23,950
Ma Yang.

381
00:15:24,013 --> 00:15:25,860
If it's something
everyone looks out for,

382
00:15:25,860 --> 00:15:26,950
that's crowdfunding.

383
00:15:26,950 --> 00:15:28,140
Taking risks

384
00:15:28,780 --> 00:15:29,710
is the future.

385
00:15:31,380 --> 00:15:32,860
How much

386
00:15:32,860 --> 00:15:34,070
do you want us to invest?

387
00:15:34,070 --> 00:15:34,830
200,000 yuan.

388
00:15:35,350 --> 00:15:36,310
200...

389
00:15:36,710 --> 00:15:37,950
2.4 meters high.

390
00:15:37,950 --> 00:15:39,260
Made of steel.

391
00:15:39,260 --> 00:15:40,350
Lacquered with spray paint.

392
00:15:40,350 --> 00:15:41,660
Exquisite retro handles.

393
00:15:41,660 --> 00:15:42,990
Wooden flooring.

394
00:15:42,990 --> 00:15:44,620
It'd cost around 100,000 yuan to build.

395
00:15:44,620 --> 00:15:45,540
Other than that,

396
00:15:45,540 --> 00:15:47,260
we'd also need money

397
00:15:47,260 --> 00:15:49,110
for the booth interior.

398
00:15:49,990 --> 00:15:51,070
So, 200,000 yuan.

399
00:15:51,540 --> 00:15:53,190
Well, go back and think

400
00:15:53,190 --> 00:15:53,950
about what else

401
00:15:53,950 --> 00:15:55,430
you can add inside the booth.

402
00:15:55,430 --> 00:15:57,900
We'll start mass production
as soon as possible.

403
00:15:57,900 --> 00:16:00,110
We'll flood the streets of Jinchuan
with your booths.

404
00:16:02,540 --> 00:16:03,710
Okay.

405
00:16:03,710 --> 00:16:05,070
I'll do my best.

406
00:16:05,070 --> 00:16:06,860
I won't let you down, Mr. Fei...

407
00:16:07,620 --> 00:16:08,430
It's Mr. Pei.

408
00:16:08,430 --> 00:16:10,540
I won't let you down, Mr. Pei.

409
00:16:10,780 --> 00:16:11,380
Now,

410
00:16:11,380 --> 00:16:11,900
let us sign

411
00:16:11,900 --> 00:16:13,830
a strategic cooperation agreement.

412
00:16:13,830 --> 00:16:15,500
If you have any good projects

413
00:16:15,500 --> 00:16:16,310
and ideas in mind,

414
00:16:16,310 --> 00:16:17,590
you must present them

415
00:16:17,590 --> 00:16:18,540
to DreamForge Capital.

416
00:16:19,340 --> 00:16:22,060
(Project: Genius Inventor
Reason for Pass: Loss Guaranteed)

417
00:16:22,060 --> 00:16:28,300
(Tengda Games)

418
00:16:30,620 --> 00:16:32,020
Other than the phone booth project,

419
00:16:32,020 --> 00:16:34,620
Xin Hailu rejected every other one.

420
00:16:34,620 --> 00:16:36,990
As long as Zhang Wang is around,
loss is guaranteed.

421
00:16:36,990 --> 00:16:38,710
Then there's Ma Yang.

422
00:16:38,710 --> 00:16:39,740
With two of them around,

423
00:16:39,740 --> 00:16:42,310
disaster is imminent.

424
00:16:42,310 --> 00:16:43,660
Speaking of Ma Yang,

425
00:16:43,660 --> 00:16:46,191
if anyone else loses money,
you might see it as a betrayal.

426
00:16:46,191 --> 00:16:47,310
But if it's Ma Yang,

427
00:16:47,310 --> 00:16:49,540
you'd think it's an honest mistake.

428
00:16:49,540 --> 00:16:51,310
Only Ma Yang can attract

429
00:16:51,310 --> 00:16:53,540
people like Zhang Wang.

430
00:16:53,540 --> 00:16:56,430
Our phone booth project
is guaranteed to lose money.

431
00:16:59,310 --> 00:17:01,780
DreamForge Capital
has infinite potential.

432
00:17:02,070 --> 00:17:04,430
MandY is still ruthlessly profiting,

433
00:17:04,524 --> 00:17:06,820
but the private restaurant
is consistently losing money,

434
00:17:07,060 --> 00:17:09,340
while Returning to Shore is on hiatus.

435
00:17:09,540 --> 00:17:12,470
Zhongdian Web Fiction is bound to fail.

436
00:17:12,670 --> 00:17:14,060
In conclusion, our prospects

437
00:17:14,060 --> 00:17:15,780
are bright and optimistic.

438
00:17:19,300 --> 00:17:19,820
Look.

439
00:17:19,820 --> 00:17:20,430
What's wrong...

440
00:17:20,430 --> 00:17:21,630
What's wrong with Mr. Pei?

441
00:17:29,660 --> 00:17:36,660
(How to lose money: Staff management,
Venture Capital, Games, Zhongdian Web Fiction)

442
00:17:36,910 --> 00:17:38,870
(When you teach
at Washington University,)

443
00:17:39,340 --> 00:17:41,540
(you can enjoy the view of Mt. Rainier.)

444
00:17:42,190 --> 00:17:42,910
(Therefore,)

445
00:17:43,190 --> 00:17:44,260
(many professors)

446
00:17:44,500 --> 00:17:46,430
(are willing to give up
better opportunities)

447
00:17:46,740 --> 00:17:47,950
(just to work here.)

448
00:17:48,060 --> 00:17:50,430
(This is the Rainier effect.)

449
00:17:51,230 --> 00:17:52,020
(It means)

450
00:17:52,870 --> 00:17:54,300
(a company can create)

451
00:17:54,300 --> 00:17:55,820
(a conducive work environment)

452
00:17:55,820 --> 00:17:57,950
(to satisfy its employees'
emotional needs)

453
00:17:57,950 --> 00:17:59,340
(in order to retain talent.)

454
00:17:59,340 --> 00:18:00,670
Mr. Pei, you wanted to see me?

455
00:18:01,580 --> 00:18:02,500
What is it?

456
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,260
You're the one who said
you had something to discuss.

457
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:10,740
I remember now.

458
00:18:10,740 --> 00:18:12,630
Lately, I found out that an employee

459
00:18:12,630 --> 00:18:13,835
is secretly working overtime.

460
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:14,740
What does this mean?

461
00:18:14,740 --> 00:18:16,870
It means they're stressed out.

462
00:18:16,870 --> 00:18:19,340
We can't ignore our staff's well-being.

463
00:18:21,740 --> 00:18:23,470
Ms. Xin, you see.

464
00:18:23,470 --> 00:18:25,150
Our employees are introverts.

465
00:18:25,150 --> 00:18:26,213
They have no social life.

466
00:18:26,257 --> 00:18:28,740
At this rate,
their lives would be affected.

467
00:18:28,910 --> 00:18:29,950
I suggest that we hold

468
00:18:30,060 --> 00:18:32,740
a matchmaking event

469
00:18:32,740 --> 00:18:33,580
to create a platform

470
00:18:33,580 --> 00:18:34,710
that breaks social boundaries

471
00:18:34,710 --> 00:18:37,230
and improves team building.

472
00:18:39,740 --> 00:18:41,591
Mr. Pei, you want them to fall in love

473
00:18:41,613 --> 00:18:44,190
so that they get distracted
from work, right?

474
00:18:44,990 --> 00:18:46,500
How could you think so badly of me?

475
00:18:46,740 --> 00:18:49,340
It's just that Zhongdian Web Fiction

476
00:18:49,340 --> 00:18:51,150
is finally off the ground,

477
00:18:51,191 --> 00:18:53,260
so I wanted to let everyone
get to know one another.

478
00:18:53,260 --> 00:18:54,670
They're all single.

479
00:18:54,670 --> 00:18:56,580
This would help them work better, too.

480
00:18:59,470 --> 00:19:00,950
Fine, I understand.

481
00:19:00,950 --> 00:19:01,580
According to

482
00:19:01,580 --> 00:19:03,500
Chapter 126, No. 72,

483
00:19:03,500 --> 00:19:05,500
such events may not last
for more than a day.

484
00:19:06,060 --> 00:19:06,710
No problem.

485
00:19:09,820 --> 00:19:10,580
Ms. Xin.

486
00:19:10,580 --> 00:19:11,260
If you're free,

487
00:19:11,260 --> 00:19:12,540
you can join, too.

488
00:19:15,190 --> 00:19:17,190
Do I look like I need matchmaking?

489
00:19:34,300 --> 00:19:35,910
Zhongdian Web Fiction authors

490
00:19:35,910 --> 00:19:38,340
and Tengda Games employees'

491
00:19:38,340 --> 00:19:41,230
first-ever matchmaking event

492
00:19:41,230 --> 00:19:42,910
officially begins!

493
00:19:45,390 --> 00:19:47,150
Actually, this event

494
00:19:47,430 --> 00:19:48,990
is meant to encourage everyone

495
00:19:48,990 --> 00:19:50,820
to use your working hours

496
00:19:50,820 --> 00:19:52,260
to solve your personal issues.

497
00:19:52,670 --> 00:19:54,190
So, don't get stressed out.

498
00:19:54,340 --> 00:19:56,190
If things don't work out,

499
00:19:56,190 --> 00:19:57,390
at least you met a new friend.

500
00:19:57,390 --> 00:19:58,630
If it's a match,

501
00:19:59,580 --> 00:20:00,710
we will cover

502
00:20:00,710 --> 00:20:03,300
all your wedding costs!

503
00:20:03,580 --> 00:20:04,500
Good luck, everyone!

504
00:20:04,710 --> 00:20:07,060
- Thank you, Mr. Pei!
- Thanks, Mr. Pei!

505
00:20:11,630 --> 00:20:12,020
Come on.

506
00:20:12,020 --> 00:20:13,740
Introduce yourselves.

507
00:20:14,150 --> 00:20:15,150
Let's start with you.

508
00:20:16,150 --> 00:20:16,820
Okay.

509
00:20:17,630 --> 00:20:18,430
Hello.

510
00:20:18,430 --> 00:20:19,580
I'm Cui Geng,

511
00:20:19,910 --> 00:20:21,100
pen name...

512
00:20:21,100 --> 00:20:21,470
No.

513
00:20:21,470 --> 00:20:23,500
Introduce your name in the board game.

514
00:20:24,150 --> 00:20:25,580
I'm the Beauty.

515
00:20:28,430 --> 00:20:28,950
Mr. Pei.

516
00:20:28,950 --> 00:20:30,340
This seat is for you.

517
00:20:42,910 --> 00:20:44,060
Lin Wan, look.

518
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:46,820
It's a matchmaking event,

519
00:20:46,820 --> 00:20:47,710
but now

520
00:20:48,390 --> 00:20:49,950
everyone's either playing games

521
00:20:49,950 --> 00:20:50,950
or talking about work.

522
00:20:50,950 --> 00:20:53,100
I can't feel love in the air.

523
00:21:01,020 --> 00:21:04,660
(Roses and you spell romance)

524
00:21:32,100 --> 00:21:34,060
Did you tell me

525
00:21:34,060 --> 00:21:35,740
that Returning to Shore is almost done?

526
00:21:36,340 --> 00:21:36,990
Yes.

527
00:21:38,100 --> 00:21:40,870
Mr. Pei, you said we shouldn't
discuss work, right?

528
00:21:42,230 --> 00:21:42,910
Yes.

529
00:21:43,230 --> 00:21:44,340
No discussing work.

530
00:21:49,870 --> 00:21:51,340
Hello. Let me add you on WeChat.

531
00:21:54,230 --> 00:21:55,190
Hello. Your WeChat.

532
00:21:55,190 --> 00:21:56,430
Excuse me for a while.

533
00:21:56,430 --> 00:21:57,100
Ma Yang is almost

534
00:21:57,100 --> 00:21:58,500
losing control of himself.

535
00:21:58,500 --> 00:21:59,580
I need to stop him.

536
00:21:59,580 --> 00:22:00,340
Okay.

537
00:22:00,820 --> 00:22:01,580
Mr. Pei!

538
00:22:03,430 --> 00:22:04,670
What are you doing?

539
00:22:04,670 --> 00:22:05,820
I'm socializing.

540
00:22:13,100 --> 00:22:13,740
Hello.

541
00:22:13,870 --> 00:22:14,630
Hello.

542
00:22:14,630 --> 00:22:16,540
You must be Lin Wan,
Tengda Games' game planner.

543
00:22:17,100 --> 00:22:17,950
Yes, I am.

544
00:22:17,950 --> 00:22:18,950
I am

545
00:22:18,950 --> 00:22:21,540
a contract writer
in Zhongdian Web Fiction,

546
00:22:21,540 --> 00:22:22,710
The Smart Idiot.

547
00:22:23,100 --> 00:22:23,870
Hello.

548
00:22:24,580 --> 00:22:26,950
Were you on a date with Mr. Pei?

549
00:22:27,740 --> 00:22:28,580
No.

550
00:22:28,580 --> 00:22:30,340
It's okay. I saw you

551
00:22:30,630 --> 00:22:32,100
telling Mr. Pei off.

552
00:22:32,870 --> 00:22:33,580
No.

553
00:22:33,580 --> 00:22:35,670
Actually, I admire

554
00:22:35,670 --> 00:22:37,740
a girl with grit and perseverance.

555
00:22:38,630 --> 00:22:40,710
I've been into poetry since young.

556
00:22:41,390 --> 00:22:42,500
You like poetry too?

557
00:22:43,060 --> 00:22:44,950
Whether it's sonnets or limericks,

558
00:22:45,580 --> 00:22:47,150
I've written some impressive ones.

559
00:22:48,580 --> 00:22:49,630
What is he doing?

560
00:22:49,740 --> 00:22:51,820
One of them is about a beauty.

561
00:22:52,100 --> 00:22:53,260
It suits you well.

562
00:22:53,740 --> 00:22:55,100
Let me read it out for you.

563
00:22:55,100 --> 00:22:55,580
"Hold my hand..."

564
00:22:55,580 --> 00:22:56,260
Excuse me.

565
00:22:56,260 --> 00:22:57,430
We have work to do.

566
00:22:57,820 --> 00:22:58,500
Excuse me.

567
00:22:58,670 --> 00:22:59,580
Excuse me.

568
00:23:00,150 --> 00:23:01,540
Saving a damsel in distress?

569
00:23:11,910 --> 00:23:12,630
Hao Qiong?

570
00:23:12,910 --> 00:23:14,020
Why are you here, all alone?

571
00:23:15,150 --> 00:23:15,910
Yeah.

572
00:23:16,100 --> 00:23:17,500
Sibo, if you're not busy,

573
00:23:17,500 --> 00:23:18,390
you can sit here

574
00:23:18,390 --> 00:23:19,020
and talk to me.

575
00:23:19,870 --> 00:23:21,150
No, I still need

576
00:23:21,150 --> 00:23:22,430
to check on everyone.

577
00:23:22,580 --> 00:23:23,150
Well,

578
00:23:23,150 --> 00:23:24,670
I'll get you a bright young fellow.

579
00:23:25,100 --> 00:23:25,740
No.

580
00:23:25,910 --> 00:23:27,100
Let's see...

581
00:23:28,430 --> 00:23:30,630
Huang, over here.

582
00:23:30,630 --> 00:23:31,150
Bo.

583
00:23:31,150 --> 00:23:31,820
Come on.

584
00:23:32,100 --> 00:23:32,990
He's a fine lad.

585
00:23:33,340 --> 00:23:33,870
Sit down.

586
00:23:33,870 --> 00:23:34,910
Have fun chatting.

587
00:23:34,910 --> 00:23:35,870
Have fun.

588
00:23:40,620 --> 00:23:42,500
(Hu Yue, Zhongdian Web Fiction writer)

589
00:23:51,910 --> 00:23:52,710
Hu...

590
00:23:52,710 --> 00:23:53,300
Yue?

591
00:23:56,780 --> 00:23:58,020
You're on the list,

592
00:23:58,020 --> 00:23:59,430
so why aren't you joining everyone?

593
00:24:00,630 --> 00:24:02,230
I signed up because I thought

594
00:24:02,230 --> 00:24:03,340
it was compulsory.

595
00:24:03,670 --> 00:24:05,780
Actually, I don't do well
in events like this.

596
00:24:06,340 --> 00:24:07,060
I get it.

597
00:24:07,060 --> 00:24:08,670
Me too. That's why I asked Mr. Pei

598
00:24:08,670 --> 00:24:09,780
to let me decorate the site.

599
00:24:11,580 --> 00:24:12,060
It's okay.

600
00:24:12,060 --> 00:24:13,870
If you don't like it,
just stay here and read.

601
00:24:13,870 --> 00:24:14,390
It's okay.

602
00:24:14,390 --> 00:24:15,150
Okay.

603
00:24:34,300 --> 00:24:35,630
That's a lot of food.

604
00:24:35,630 --> 00:24:36,740
Sorry to trouble you.

605
00:24:36,740 --> 00:24:37,340
Not at all.

606
00:24:37,340 --> 00:24:38,540
I'm hungry too.

607
00:24:39,630 --> 00:24:40,150
Here.

608
00:24:40,910 --> 00:24:41,670
Thanks.

609
00:24:42,990 --> 00:24:44,630
I remember your name.

610
00:24:44,630 --> 00:24:46,300
You seem to be new here.

611
00:24:46,300 --> 00:24:47,150
How is it?

612
00:24:48,740 --> 00:24:50,870
I've been writing novels,

613
00:24:50,870 --> 00:24:52,230
but I don't have a lot of readers,

614
00:24:52,230 --> 00:24:53,670
so I was about to give up.

615
00:24:53,910 --> 00:24:55,300
Then, a writer from Zhongdian

616
00:24:55,300 --> 00:24:56,500
encouraged me,

617
00:24:56,500 --> 00:24:58,340
and I decided to join.

618
00:24:59,100 --> 00:25:00,820
I thought I could learn something,

619
00:25:01,260 --> 00:25:03,430
but I haven't done any real work.

620
00:25:03,740 --> 00:25:04,580
My first task

621
00:25:04,910 --> 00:25:06,230
is to join this matchmaking event.

622
00:25:06,870 --> 00:25:08,580
Your boss is so weird.

623
00:25:09,990 --> 00:25:10,950
That's not it.

624
00:25:11,430 --> 00:25:12,060
Mr. Pei

625
00:25:12,060 --> 00:25:13,670
is worried that we don't have time

626
00:25:13,670 --> 00:25:14,150
for dating,

627
00:25:14,260 --> 00:25:15,540
so he created this event.

628
00:25:15,568 --> 00:25:17,457
Mr. Pei is a great boss.

629
00:25:17,724 --> 00:25:19,430
He's concerned
that our work would affect

630
00:25:19,430 --> 00:25:21,020
our social lives.

631
00:25:21,300 --> 00:25:23,100
Anyway, he cares for his employees.

632
00:25:24,910 --> 00:25:26,060
You don't believe me, right?

633
00:25:26,430 --> 00:25:27,820
It took me some time to realize

634
00:25:28,100 --> 00:25:30,710
that Tengda is a dream factory
for employees.

635
00:25:31,990 --> 00:25:33,430
I feel like

636
00:25:33,430 --> 00:25:34,540
I'm brainwashing myself.

637
00:25:34,613 --> 00:25:36,191
It's okay. You'll understand in time.

638
00:25:39,470 --> 00:25:40,230
You said

639
00:25:40,230 --> 00:25:41,950
a writer from Zhongdian

640
00:25:41,950 --> 00:25:42,670
encouraged you?

641
00:25:44,630 --> 00:25:46,230
He's a nice guy.

642
00:25:46,230 --> 00:25:48,740
He replied to my messages
and motivated me.

643
00:25:48,740 --> 00:25:49,710
Also,

644
00:25:49,710 --> 00:25:52,190
he writes about the working people,

645
00:25:52,190 --> 00:25:53,340
and it's very realistic.

646
00:25:53,630 --> 00:25:54,150
I suspect

647
00:25:54,150 --> 00:25:55,580
he must have been a corporate mule

648
00:25:55,580 --> 00:25:56,950
to be able to write that.

649
00:25:58,870 --> 00:26:00,340
Is that so?

650
00:26:01,870 --> 00:26:02,740
What's

651
00:26:03,300 --> 00:26:04,340
his name?

652
00:26:05,580 --> 00:26:07,470
He's got a cute name.

653
00:26:07,470 --> 00:26:09,020
An unusual one.

654
00:26:09,340 --> 00:26:11,340
Ma Dubiao.

655
00:26:11,820 --> 00:26:13,020
An amazing name.

656
00:26:14,746 --> 00:26:16,768
(You're welcome to join
Zhongdian Web Fiction.)

(Ma Dubiao.)

661
00:26:24,390 --> 00:26:27,780
So, your username is?

662
00:26:28,710 --> 00:26:30,670
It's a cool name, too.

663
00:26:30,910 --> 00:26:31,820
It's

Niu Yanben.

666
00:26:50,340 --> 00:26:50,950
What is this?

667
00:26:50,950 --> 00:26:52,540
A phone booth?

668
00:26:55,630 --> 00:26:56,910
Pay to enter?

669
00:27:04,340 --> 00:27:05,670
So expensive?

670
00:27:06,060 --> 00:27:07,820
20 yuan for 10 minutes?

671
00:27:08,100 --> 00:27:09,100
What a rip-off.

672
00:27:10,300 --> 00:27:11,230
Darling, look.

673
00:27:11,470 --> 00:27:12,230
What is this?

674
00:27:12,230 --> 00:27:13,340
A phone booth?

675
00:27:13,340 --> 00:27:14,340
Scan to pay?

676
00:27:16,780 --> 00:27:17,950
20 yuan?

677
00:27:18,300 --> 00:27:19,470
What's inside?

678
00:27:19,470 --> 00:27:21,020
Isn't this a phone booth?

679
00:27:21,020 --> 00:27:23,020
I don't see a phone.

680
00:27:23,500 --> 00:27:24,390
Let's go.

681
00:27:25,470 --> 00:27:27,340
Dumb ideas are everywhere.

682
00:27:30,950 --> 00:27:32,100
Good booth.

683
00:27:32,100 --> 00:27:33,300
Good work in losing money.

684
00:27:33,300 --> 00:27:34,390
Keep it up.

685
00:27:34,580 --> 00:27:35,500
When I earn big,

686
00:27:35,500 --> 00:27:36,870
I'll give you a makeover.

688
00:27:46,540 --> 00:27:48,430
Great location.

689
00:27:49,260 --> 00:27:50,950
Not a single shared bike around.

690
00:28:09,300 --> 00:28:12,300
Time to upgrade my transportation.

(Jinchuan Automobiles)

692
00:28:22,340 --> 00:28:23,820
I hope he buys it,

693
00:28:24,230 --> 00:28:25,990
or else I'm getting fired.

694
00:28:38,670 --> 00:28:39,580
Boss.

695
00:28:41,340 --> 00:28:42,260
Boss?

696
00:28:47,820 --> 00:28:48,820
Well,

697
00:28:48,820 --> 00:28:50,710
what do you think of the car?

698
00:28:50,710 --> 00:28:52,020
It's a nice car.

699
00:28:52,340 --> 00:28:53,150
I think

700
00:28:53,150 --> 00:28:54,060
I'll take this.

701
00:28:54,060 --> 00:28:54,968
Get the invoice ready.

702
00:28:55,060 --> 00:28:55,820
Mr. Pei.

703
00:28:56,260 --> 00:28:57,670
You were just browsing earlier,

704
00:28:57,670 --> 00:28:59,060
so I didn't remind you

705
00:28:59,540 --> 00:29:02,300
that, according to Chapter 12, No. 76,

706
00:29:02,300 --> 00:29:04,820
you may only purchase
business cars for office use.

707
00:29:04,820 --> 00:29:05,670
Racecars?

708
00:29:06,100 --> 00:29:06,870
No.

709
00:29:06,870 --> 00:29:08,150
Why can't I get a racecar?

710
00:29:08,150 --> 00:29:08,780
This car

711
00:29:08,780 --> 00:29:10,500
represents our company's image.

712
00:29:10,500 --> 00:29:12,300
When I drive a racecar,

713
00:29:12,300 --> 00:29:13,060
our partners

714
00:29:13,060 --> 00:29:14,430
would trust me more.

715
00:29:14,910 --> 00:29:16,710
I'm afraid racecars
can't convince everyone

716
00:29:16,710 --> 00:29:18,870
that you are a mature businessman.

717
00:29:18,870 --> 00:29:20,500
How is a racecar immature?

718
00:29:20,990 --> 00:29:21,710
Look.

719
00:29:21,820 --> 00:29:22,470
Look at

720
00:29:22,470 --> 00:29:23,260
the huge bonnet.

721
00:29:23,540 --> 00:29:24,470
And this.

722
00:29:24,470 --> 00:29:25,340
The rear wing.

723
00:29:25,340 --> 00:29:26,230
And the door.

724
00:29:26,230 --> 00:29:27,710
And this practical base.

725
00:29:27,820 --> 00:29:29,230
How is it immature?

726
00:29:30,168 --> 00:29:32,950
Buying a car doesn't even meet
our requirements in the first place.

727
00:29:33,124 --> 00:29:34,280
I only approved it

728
00:29:34,346 --> 00:29:36,150
because you insisted
it was for business.

729
00:29:36,346 --> 00:29:38,230
If you keep using our money
for personal gain,

730
00:29:38,230 --> 00:29:39,870
I'll add another clause

731
00:29:39,870 --> 00:29:41,780
that stops you from buying cars.

732
00:29:41,780 --> 00:29:42,340
You...

733
00:29:44,230 --> 00:29:45,060
I'm telling you,

734
00:29:45,060 --> 00:29:47,060
you don't have
to be harsh on me, Ms. Xin.

735
00:29:47,060 --> 00:29:48,300
Let me make this clear.

736
00:29:48,300 --> 00:29:49,910
If I can't buy this car, I...

737
00:29:51,300 --> 00:29:52,100
I...

738
00:29:52,100 --> 00:29:52,820
Boss.

739
00:29:54,820 --> 00:29:56,740
Why don't you look at...

740
00:29:59,746 --> 00:30:01,191
(Jinchuan Automobiles)
That car?

741
00:30:02,500 --> 00:30:04,300
That car is almost

742
00:30:04,300 --> 00:30:05,910
similar to this racecar

743
00:30:05,910 --> 00:30:07,430
in terms of functionality.

744
00:30:10,300 --> 00:30:11,340
You're right.

745
00:30:11,457 --> 00:30:12,524
I'll buy that car, then.

746
00:30:15,260 --> 00:30:16,060
Really?

747
00:30:16,580 --> 00:30:18,230
Thank you, boss!

748
00:30:19,300 --> 00:30:20,060
I'll do anything

749
00:30:20,060 --> 00:30:21,990
to make this deal work!

750
00:30:22,100 --> 00:30:23,020
You don't have to...

751
00:30:23,020 --> 00:30:23,540
Thank you!

752
00:30:23,540 --> 00:30:24,540
It's okay.

753
00:30:24,540 --> 00:30:25,110
Here...

754
00:30:48,300 --> 00:30:50,670
Who's still working at this hour?

755
00:30:50,670 --> 00:30:51,910
Outrageous!

756
00:31:00,020 --> 00:31:01,260
Lin Wan!

757
00:31:02,990 --> 00:31:03,820
Mr. Pei?

758
00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:05,035
What brings you here?

759
00:31:05,057 --> 00:31:06,324
Didn't I get Wu Sheng and Wu Xi

760
00:31:06,346 --> 00:31:07,760
to cancel your overtime permission?

761
00:31:07,768 --> 00:31:08,746
How did you get in?

762
00:31:09,060 --> 00:31:11,820
I asked the security guard to let me in.

763
00:31:12,020 --> 00:31:12,740
Impossible.

764
00:31:12,740 --> 00:31:13,990
Why would they let you in?

765
00:31:13,990 --> 00:31:15,770
It's not like your family
owns the building...

768
00:31:23,150 --> 00:31:24,150
As a rich kid,

769
00:31:24,150 --> 00:31:25,580
you should behave like one.

770
00:31:25,580 --> 00:31:27,260
I've already approved your leave,

771
00:31:27,260 --> 00:31:29,100
so why are you still coming to work?

772
00:31:29,100 --> 00:31:31,540
You need to get rid of your bad habit
of working overtime,

773
00:31:31,780 --> 00:31:32,670
got it?

774
00:31:32,820 --> 00:31:34,740
Repent.

775
00:31:34,740 --> 00:31:36,630
I've already completed the proposal,

776
00:31:36,630 --> 00:31:38,060
which you haven't approved.

777
00:31:38,060 --> 00:31:39,470
So, I wanted to improve it.

778
00:31:39,470 --> 00:31:40,540
No, I...

779
00:31:40,540 --> 00:31:41,780
I didn't approve it

780
00:31:41,780 --> 00:31:42,990
because I...

781
00:31:42,990 --> 00:31:44,500
Because I'm too busy lately.

782
00:31:44,500 --> 00:31:46,740
Your proposal is more than enough.

783
00:31:47,740 --> 00:31:48,950
So, you think my proposal

784
00:31:48,950 --> 00:31:50,020
is good enough?

785
00:31:50,260 --> 00:31:51,540
Yes, it is.

786
00:31:51,740 --> 00:31:53,150
Is that an okay from you?

787
00:31:53,150 --> 00:31:55,100
Can Lv and I proceed?

788
00:31:57,260 --> 00:31:57,950
Yes.

789
00:31:58,910 --> 00:31:59,910
But,

790
00:31:59,910 --> 00:32:02,060
proceed slowly.

791
00:32:02,060 --> 00:32:03,910
Slow and steady wins the race.

792
00:32:03,910 --> 00:32:06,260
The graphics and mechanics

793
00:32:06,260 --> 00:32:08,020
have to be on par...

794
00:32:08,020 --> 00:32:08,630
No.

795
00:32:08,630 --> 00:32:11,500
They have to exceed top-tier games.

796
00:32:11,670 --> 00:32:12,390
Okay.

797
00:32:13,580 --> 00:32:14,630
Before that,

798
00:32:15,020 --> 00:32:16,580
follow me.

799
00:32:17,020 --> 00:32:18,230

(Xingniao Gym)

801
00:32:26,710 --> 00:32:29,020
Back then, I let you work overtime

802
00:32:29,430 --> 00:32:31,230
to work on the list.

803
00:32:31,230 --> 00:32:32,710
Now that it's done,

804
00:32:32,710 --> 00:32:35,100
it's back to no overtime.

805
00:32:36,540 --> 00:32:38,950
If you need to use up your energy,

806
00:32:41,150 --> 00:32:42,540
come to the gym

807
00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:43,710
every day

808
00:32:44,340 --> 00:32:45,990
after work.

809
00:32:47,500 --> 00:32:49,060
Okay, got it.

810
00:32:49,060 --> 00:32:50,060
I'm telling you,

811
00:32:50,430 --> 00:32:51,990
I checked the records.

812
00:32:51,990 --> 00:32:52,910
You've never used

813
00:32:52,910 --> 00:32:55,260
our entertainment facilities
during work.

814
00:32:55,260 --> 00:32:56,540
You've also never been to the gym,

815
00:32:56,540 --> 00:32:58,060
even though we paid for your membership.

816
00:32:58,060 --> 00:33:00,670
This is the closest gym to the office.

817
00:33:00,910 --> 00:33:02,910
You're not paying attention to rest.

818
00:33:03,060 --> 00:33:04,580
Health is not a trivial issue.

819
00:33:04,580 --> 00:33:06,500
Look how weak you are...

820
00:33:07,260 --> 00:33:08,780
Don't worry.

821
00:33:08,780 --> 00:33:09,630
I just want

822
00:33:09,630 --> 00:33:11,670
to speed up our project.

823
00:33:11,670 --> 00:33:12,910
My health is fine.

824
00:33:14,740 --> 00:33:15,390
Well,

825
00:33:15,910 --> 00:33:17,300
if you're so healthy,

826
00:33:17,630 --> 00:33:18,710
did your parents raise you

827
00:33:18,710 --> 00:33:20,630
to work overtime in Tengda?

828
00:33:21,390 --> 00:33:22,060
So,

829
00:33:22,230 --> 00:33:24,150
from now on, take a photo

830
00:33:24,150 --> 00:33:25,368
whenever you go to the gym.

831
00:33:25,368 --> 00:33:26,470
Send it to me.

832
00:33:28,300 --> 00:33:29,190
Okay.

833
00:33:34,630 --> 00:33:35,780
Is it that light?

perfect for families with three kids?

839
00:33:55,670 --> 00:33:56,780
Are these product ideas

840
00:33:56,780 --> 00:33:58,060
from Zhang Wang?

841
00:33:58,060 --> 00:33:58,780
Yes.

842
00:33:58,780 --> 00:33:59,580
They're awesome.

843
00:33:59,580 --> 00:34:00,230
I love them all.

844
00:34:00,230 --> 00:34:02,340
I can't even choose a favorite.

845
00:34:02,580 --> 00:34:03,430
Yeah.

846
00:34:03,430 --> 00:34:05,500
But it won't be easy to get
Ms. Xin's approval.

847
00:34:05,500 --> 00:34:07,060
You know, she's too old-fashioned.

848
00:34:07,300 --> 00:34:09,220
Why do we need her approval?

849
00:34:09,220 --> 00:34:10,430
She doesn't have dreams.

850
00:34:10,430 --> 00:34:12,100

Come on, Mr. Pei.

857
00:34:28,870 --> 00:34:30,470
You don't trust me at all?

858
00:34:30,470 --> 00:34:32,620
You had to video call me to confirm?

859
00:34:33,180 --> 00:34:33,750
No.

860
00:34:33,750 --> 00:34:34,870
I believe in you.

861
00:34:34,870 --> 00:34:35,830
I just wanted to confirm

862
00:34:35,830 --> 00:34:37,260
if the gym has closed down for good?

864
00:34:38,580 --> 00:34:39,470
Look.

865
00:34:40,950 --> 00:34:42,620
I called them to ask.

866
00:34:42,620 --> 00:34:44,660
They said their membership fees

867
00:34:44,660 --> 00:34:45,620
couldn't compete

868
00:34:45,620 --> 00:34:46,620
with nearby gyms,

869
00:34:46,620 --> 00:34:48,580
and their members
don't have time for exercise.

870
00:34:48,580 --> 00:34:50,500
They've been losing a lot of members.

871
00:34:50,500 --> 00:34:52,660
The only steady source they had
was from Tengda.

872
00:34:52,910 --> 00:34:55,060
Is that true?
They don't have other clients?

873
00:34:55,660 --> 00:34:57,140
It's true.

874
00:34:59,020 --> 00:34:59,910
Got it.

875
00:35:00,310 --> 00:35:02,020
Don't slack off, though.

876
00:35:02,020 --> 00:35:03,620
Go home and rest.

Just because the gym is closed

878
00:35:05,435 --> 00:35:07,020
doesn't mean you can slack off and work.

879
00:35:07,020 --> 00:35:07,660
Okay.

880
00:35:07,910 --> 00:35:08,910
