00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:25,500
is going to be packed.

382
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:26,760
We booked our table

383
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:27,460
way in advance.

384
00:18:28,020 --> 00:18:28,460
Plus,

385
00:18:28,780 --> 00:18:29,640
I need to pick your brain

386
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:30,720
on a few things for this afternoon.

387
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:33,760
Xiguang,

388
00:18:34,420 --> 00:18:35,260
you're being such a cheapskate.

389
00:18:35,580 --> 00:18:36,540
Is this it? Just these few dishes?

390
00:18:37,300 --> 00:18:38,700
I have exams today, okay?

391
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,760
That's why you need
to stick to the basics.

392
00:18:42,060 --> 00:18:42,580
Fine.

393
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:43,320
Zero surprises here.

394
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:44,620
Zhuang Fei,

395
00:18:45,140 --> 00:18:46,020
how did it go today?

396
00:18:46,300 --> 00:18:47,100
Did the essay flow well?

397
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:48,300
That topic should be

398
00:18:48,300 --> 00:18:48,940
right up your alley, right?

399
00:18:53,260 --> 00:18:53,920
What's wrong?

400
00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:55,600
Are you feeling okay?

401
00:18:58,400 --> 00:18:59,760
When I woke up this morning,

402
00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:01,340
I had a bit of a fever and felt dizzy.

403
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:02,380
Are you still dizzy?

404
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:03,200
Not anymore.

405
00:19:03,740 --> 00:19:04,760
I'm just worried

406
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:06,240
that I didn't do my best this morning.

407
00:19:06,740 --> 00:19:07,600
You're worrying over nothing.

408
00:19:08,180 --> 00:19:09,100
You could

409
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:10,680
ace exams like this in your sleep.

410
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:11,420
Relax, man.

411
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:12,800
I did finish the whole paper.

412
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:13,880
Then what's the big deal?

413
00:19:14,420 --> 00:19:15,460
It's not that you're in a slump.

414
00:19:15,620 --> 00:19:16,560
You're just hyped up.

415
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:17,560
Kind of like Xiguang.

416
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:20,060
Hey, what about me?

417
00:19:20,220 --> 00:19:20,940
Back in high school,

418
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:21,940
she was

419
00:19:22,020 --> 00:19:22,980
an above-average student at best.

420
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:24,720
She only started grinding
a few months before the gaokao.

421
00:19:24,900 --> 00:19:26,120
And she even ran a fever
on the day of the exam.

422
00:19:26,260 --> 00:19:27,340
We all thought she was toast.

423
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:28,620
But when the results came out,

424
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:29,980
she scored dozens of points
higher than usual.

425
00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:30,980
We all say it's because she was

426
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,160
so lightheaded
that she actually nailed it.

427
00:19:32,340 --> 00:19:33,920
I'd almost forgotten
about that little episode.

428
00:19:34,340 --> 00:19:35,160
But that's only because

429
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:36,520
I've always had the chops.

430
00:19:36,900 --> 00:19:37,840
But

431
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:38,980
for some bizarre reasons,

432
00:19:39,060 --> 00:19:39,880
I just couldn't find my groove.

433
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,100
Then the fever hit,

434
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,020
and it just flipped a switch

435
00:19:42,900 --> 00:19:43,960
in my brain.

436
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:44,820
For real?

437
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,120
Cross my heart.

438
00:19:47,940 --> 00:19:48,440
Jiang Rui,

439
00:19:49,300 --> 00:19:51,040
I didn't know you were
such a silent observer,

440
00:19:51,420 --> 00:19:51,960
keeping track

441
00:19:52,100 --> 00:19:53,480
of my "glorious achievements"

442
00:19:53,540 --> 00:19:54,460
so meticulously.

443
00:19:54,740 --> 00:19:56,260
Admit it, you're a total fanboy,
aren't you?

444
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:57,840
Fanboy, my foot!

445
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,360
I'm a top-three student,

446
00:19:59,360 --> 00:19:59,900
for crying out loud.

447
00:19:59,940 --> 00:20:01,200
What's so great about that?

448
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,480
Someone like me,
who stays under the radar,

449
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:04,980
only to skyrocket
once I put in the effort

450
00:20:05,060 --> 00:20:06,360
and nail a top-tier university,
that's what's truly legendary.

451
00:20:06,380 --> 00:20:06,840
Got it?

452
00:20:11,500 --> 00:20:15,360
[The second day of the Gaokao]

453
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:15,760
Xiguang,

454
00:20:16,660 --> 00:20:17,660
your special one has finally arrived.

455
00:20:19,460 --> 00:20:20,400
Zhuang Fei!

456
00:20:21,540 --> 00:20:22,080
Hi, Xu.

457
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:36,900
It's time for you guys to head in.

458
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:38,040
Let's go then.

459
00:20:50,020 --> 00:20:51,700
I'm here to drop Zhuang Fei off.

460
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:54,420
What a coincidence.

461
00:20:55,980 --> 00:20:56,580
Not really.

462
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,320
I wasn't actually planning on coming.

463
00:21:04,820 --> 00:21:05,560
Really?

464
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:10,200
I'll just...

465
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:10,620
Where did you guys

466
00:21:10,620 --> 00:21:11,280
have lunch yesterday?

467
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,180
Thanks for looking after Zhuang Fei.

468
00:21:15,700 --> 00:21:16,420
Lunch's on me today.

469
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:21,960
Three-cup chicken,
sweet and sour spare ribs,

470
00:21:22,420 --> 00:21:23,180
sweet and sour pork with pineapple,

471
00:21:24,020 --> 00:21:24,740
braised eggplant,

472
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:32,360
fresh watermelon juice.

473
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:34,140
Would this be

474
00:21:34,180 --> 00:21:35,220
a bit too much for four?

475
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:36,520
It's fine.

476
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,040
How did you know

477
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:45,400
I was here?

478
00:21:45,820 --> 00:21:47,200
I asked Rong.

479
00:21:47,820 --> 00:21:49,020
Since you haven't been back to school,

480
00:21:49,420 --> 00:21:50,460
I decided

481
00:21:50,460 --> 00:21:51,580
to come here for you.

482
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:52,960
Rong said

483
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,260
you're raising money
for your mom's surgery.

484
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:56,680
Well...

485
00:21:58,520 --> 00:21:59,180
Here is all the lucky money

486
00:21:59,220 --> 00:22:00,580
I've saved up. Take it.

487
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,440
There's no rush to pay me back.

488
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:08,560
Don't worry.

489
00:22:08,900 --> 00:22:10,460
Your mom will make a full recovery.

490
00:22:12,100 --> 00:22:12,740
Zhuang Xu,

491
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,280
the math's not adding up.

492
00:22:14,380 --> 00:22:15,080
You gave me five thousand yuan extra.

493
00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:15,860
Call it interest.

494
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:26,940
Eight dishes and a soup.

495
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:27,860
Ready to serve

496
00:22:27,900 --> 00:22:29,160

00:26:23,180 --> 00:26:24,080
she's treating us

569
00:26:24,580 --> 00:26:25,460
to celebrate the end of my exams.

570
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:26,660
Didn't she tell you?

571
00:26:27,580 --> 00:26:28,340
Mom's coming, too.

572
00:26:30,060 --> 00:26:30,840
We should get going.

573
00:26:32,780 --> 00:26:33,280
Let's go.

574
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:35,260
Bye.

575
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,140
Why was Zhuang Fei

576
00:26:46,220 --> 00:26:46,980
being so vague?

577
00:26:47,340 --> 00:26:47,880
Who's treating them?

578
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,700
Why do you have to be such a busybody?

579
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:56,860
Xiguang,

580
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:58,200
how was my little plan?

581
00:26:58,260 --> 00:26:59,280
I lured him out for you, didn't I?

582
00:27:10,220 --> 00:27:10,760
Jiang Rui.

583
00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:16,160
Do you remember

584
00:27:16,900 --> 00:27:18,360
when Zhuang Xu's mom was sick,

585
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:19,540
I lent him

586
00:27:19,540 --> 00:27:20,520
fifty thousand yuan?

587
00:27:21,700 --> 00:27:22,140
Yeah.

588
00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:24,020
You only had 49,200 available

589
00:27:24,100 --> 00:27:25,200
in your account,

590
00:27:25,260 --> 00:27:26,320
so you squeezed 800 out of me

591
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:27,420
just to make it a round number.

592
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,380
You really don't understand
how men think.

593
00:27:30,380 --> 00:27:30,740
You should've given it to him

594
00:27:30,820 --> 00:27:31,960
in small doses.

595
00:27:31,980 --> 00:27:32,660
It would've been more touching.

596
00:27:35,100 --> 00:27:36,660
Later, he paid me back 55,000.

597
00:27:39,020 --> 00:27:40,140
In such a short amount of time,

598
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:42,940
he gave me ten percent interest.

599
00:27:44,300 --> 00:27:45,360
So, his coming here today

600
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:47,920
is just his way
of paying me back twofold

601
00:27:47,980 --> 00:27:49,220
for the meal I treated Zhuang Fei to

602
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:50,380
yesterday.

603
00:27:52,100 --> 00:27:53,200
He doesn't want to owe me anything.

604
00:27:54,500 --> 00:27:55,220
Don't you see?

605
00:27:56,500 --> 00:27:56,980
But he...

606
00:27:57,700 --> 00:27:58,800
Didn't he just send you

607
00:27:58,840 --> 00:27:59,800
those materials for your thesis?

608
00:27:59,980 --> 00:28:00,620
You didn't mention it was him,

609
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:01,620
but considering who's capable of that,

610
00:28:01,660 --> 00:28:02,660
I knew it had to be him.

611
00:28:02,780 --> 00:28:03,400
That's why I...

612
00:28:03,540 --> 00:28:04,120
The name Zhuang Fei

613
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:05,340
was hesitating to mention,

614
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:06,720
the person hosting that dinner,

615
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:08,540
is my roommate,

616
00:28:09,940 --> 00:28:11,200
also Zhuang Xu's childhood friend.

617
00:28:13,460 --> 00:28:13,940
She...

618
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:16,120
did some things

619
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,120
that weren't very kind to me.

620
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:19,980
Zhuang Xu helped me with my paper

621
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:22,940
just to apologize on her behalf.

622
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,140
What the heck?

623
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:26,140
This is infuriating.

624
00:28:27,260 --> 00:28:28,400
You didn't use them, did you?

625
00:28:28,420 --> 00:28:29,220
Please tell me you didn't use any of it.

626
00:28:29,420 --> 00:28:30,460
Of course I didn't.

627
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:31,380
Good.

628
00:28:33,220 --> 00:28:34,060
Now that my exams are over,

629
00:28:34,140 --> 00:28:34,960
I'll help you organize the materials.

630
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:36,280
I've got the brains, too.

631
00:28:42,700 --> 00:28:44,380
Thanks, genius.

632
00:28:45,260 --> 00:28:46,560
But I've already finalized my thesis.

633
00:28:46,980 --> 00:28:48,160
I'm defending it in a few days.

634
00:28:50,580 --> 00:28:51,440
As long as you didn't use his stuff.

635
00:28:55,100 --> 00:28:55,940
So what if he's going the other way?

636
00:28:56,620 --> 00:28:57,440
We'll find someone better.

637
00:28:57,540 --> 00:28:58,020
Someone who's going your way.

638
00:28:58,220 --> 00:28:58,900
You're my cousin, after all.

639
00:29:03,060 --> 00:29:04,860
You're so considerate.

640
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:09,320
But Xiguang,

641
00:29:09,980 --> 00:29:11,120
even for siblings, business is business.

642
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:12,780
You borrowed 800 from me.

643
00:29:12,900 --> 00:29:14,240
Plus 10% interest,
you owe me 880, right?

644
00:29:14,660 --> 00:29:15,280
Where's

645
00:29:15,300 --> 00:29:16,240
this extra 80?

646
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:21,740
Jiang Rui,

647
00:29:22,580 --> 00:29:24,000
technically, we're just cousins.

648
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:43,280
Keep it together.

649
00:29:44,180 --> 00:29:44,740
Keep it together.

650
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:46,300
Stay cool.

651
00:29:47,180 --> 00:29:47,740
Stay cool.

652
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,060
Xigua, how are you staying

653
00:29:57,060 --> 00:29:58,360
so unbothered?

654
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,020
Ever since my supervisor grilled me,

655
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:02,520
I've been on a total grind.

656
00:30:02,740 --> 00:30:04,020
I've basically become a guru

657
00:30:04,140 --> 00:30:05,700
on my thesis topic.

658
00:30:05,820 --> 00:30:06,780
Does a guru ever sweat the small stuff?

659
00:30:09,620 --> 00:30:11,160
More like a guru of bragging.

660
00:30:11,660 --> 00:30:12,820
Xigua really lucked out

661
00:30:12,940 --> 00:30:14,180
to have drawn
one of the very last slots.

662
00:30:14,820 --> 00:30:16,020
The rest of us are stuck at the front.

663
00:30:17,100 --> 00:30:18,420
Fen and others are in a different group.

664
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:19,340
I wonder

665
00:30:19,380 --> 00:30:20,340
how the draw went for them.

666
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:22,940
I'll stick around
to keep you company after mine.

667
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:23,960
No, don't.

668
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,280
Having someone I know there
will only psych me out.

669
00:30:27,980 --> 00:30:29,280
Xie Xiaofeng, Accounting Department.

670
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:29,920
Here.

671
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,040
Nie Xiguang, Accounting Department.

672
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:02,300
Distinguished professors,

673
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:03,760
fellow students, good afternoon.

674
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:05,020
My name is Nie Xiguang,

675
00:31:05,260 --> 00:31:06,500
from the 2008 intake,

676
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,140
Class 1, Accounting Department,
Business School.

677
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,060
The title of my thesis

678
00:31:10,100 --> 00:31:11,020
is Analysis of Oligopolies

679
00:31:11,060 --> 00:31:12,280
in the Digital Economy.

680
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,300
I will now present a brief overview

681
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:16,900
of my research findings

682
00:31:17,060 --> 00:31:18,600
from four key aspects.

683
00:31:19,380 --> 00:31:19,840
First,

684
00:31:19,940 --> 00:31:21,560
the background
and significance of the topic.

685
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:23,020
Over the past two decades,

686
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:24,120
the world has entered

687
00:31:24,220 --> 00:31:25,260
the age of the Internet.

688
00:31:25,420 --> 00:31:26,580
China's network economy

689
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,420
has also begun to take off.

690
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,280
Gradually, oligopolies

691
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:31,260
have emerged

692
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:32,640
within various market segments.

693
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:44,660
That concludes

694
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,240
my presentation.

695
00:31:46,380 --> 00:31:48,000
I look forward to your feedback.

696
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,020
I just finished my defense.

697
00:31:57,300 --> 00:31:58,840
I was one of the last ones to go.

698
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,020
Mom, don't worry.

699
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:05,720
I totally nailed it.

700
00:32:05,900 --> 00:32:06,660
See? When it counts,

701
00:32:06,700 --> 00:32:07,840
I actually have my act together,

702
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:08,400
okay?

703
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:10,940
I'm gonna pack up some stuff

704
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:11,900
and head over to my uncle's.

705
00:32:12,620 --> 00:32:13,600
Anyway, I should get going.

706
00:32:13,820 --> 00:32:14,240
Bye.

707
00:32:14,460 --> 00:32:15,000
Xiguang,

708
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:18,160
let me

709
00:32:18,860 --> 00:32:19,800
treat you to dinner.

710
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:22,600
That's really not necessary.

711
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:23,340
I insist.

712
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:30,960
Then...

713
00:32:32,660 --> 00:32:33,720
let's invite Feng and the others.

714
00:32:34,380 --> 00:32:35,280
Just the two of us.

715
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:42,400
I'm absolutely spent.

716
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,020
How did she get this wasted?

717
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:50,160
Nie Xiguang,

718
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:52,520
do you think

719
00:32:52,620 --> 00:32:53,720
I'm some two-faced fake?

720
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,000
Like I'm just a petty gossip?

721
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,600
You've had too much.

722
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:03,660
Fine. Let's just blame it on the bear.

723
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:08,240
You have no idea

724
00:33:09,100 --> 00:33:10,700
everyone's always talking about you.

725
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,140
You're not even from around here,

726
00:33:13,180 --> 00:33:14,160
yet you live off-campus.

727
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:16,320
Word started getting around

728
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:17,680
from your high school classmates

729
00:33:17,780 --> 00:33:19,280
about your family.

730
00:33:21,780 --> 00:33:22,540
And when

731
00:33:23,100 --> 00:33:24,560
Zhuang Xu's mom got sick,

732
00:33:25,620 --> 00:33:26,920
you just

733
00:33:27,700 --> 00:33:29,080
dropped all that cash.

734
00:33:29,740 --> 00:33:31,020
That's when it finally hit me

735
00:33:31,500 --> 00:33:31,960
how different

736
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,180
our worlds really are.

737
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,660
Siliang, she's the type

738
00:33:39,700 --> 00:33:40,560
who wants to have it all together.

739
00:33:41,780 --> 00:33:42,980
She tries to put on

740
00:33:43,420 --> 00:33:44,440
a perfect front for everyone.

741
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:46,820
But the second a crack shows,

742
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:48,780
she just falls apart.

743
00:33:50,180 --> 00:33:51,580
I had no idea
you saw through her like that.

744
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:53,140
Just a wild guess.

745
00:33:56,580 --> 00:33:57,140
Xigua,

746
00:33:58,280 --> 00:33:59,780
I got my ticket this afternoon.

747
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:01,860
What's the rush?

748
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:03,720
My parents are really pushing me.

749
00:34:04,180 --> 00:34:05,040
There's a lot of paperwork to do

750
00:34:05,100 --> 00:34:06,220
once I get back to Xiamen.

751
00:34:07,500 --> 00:34:08,739
But I'm not leaving just yet.

752
00:34:08,900 --> 00:34:10,040
I've still got a few days.

753
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:19,520
Don't look so down.

754
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,260
We'll definitely see each other again.
