=Episode 3=

Perfect timing.

Okay, you go ahead.

Thanks.

Mr. Gao, Mrs. Gao.

Wanjun.

Wanjun.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Mrs. Gao, don't mention it.

My father just got off the plane

and couldn't make it in time.

He asked me to send his blessings to you.

Look how thoughtful Wanjun is.

Exactly.

Let me tell you something.

I couldn't acquire

the necklace around your neck without her help.

Really?

Mr. Gao.

You're too kind.

I'm glad you like it.

I do like it.

You two have been married for 30 years and are still so loving.

It's truly enviable.

I wish I could find someone like Haiming

in the future.

H-Haiming.

Come here.

Excuse me.

Haiming.

Miss Xie.

Haiming, I know you're quite busy with work.

But at least balance work and life.

When you're available, you could give Wanjun a call.

You two grew up together,

so you could have a meal,

take a walk,

or watch a movie.

And you could call him as well.

Right?

Miss Xie, you are so outstanding,

and will surely meet someone who appreciates you.

Maybe I've already met that person now.

Bless you then.

I-I wonder if our Haiming can be that lucky one in your eyes.

Mr. Gao.

Don't be so pushy.

Wanjun is outstanding.

There must be many talented young men pursuing her.

Our Haiming might not even make the list.

Wanjun, here.

Here.

Feel free to visit anytime, okay?

Okay.

What did you mean just now?

I wanted to ask you the same thing.

You introduced many girlfriends to Haiming before, right?

Yet he likes no one.

Now Miss Xie is showing so much interest in Haiming.

This is an opportunity.

The Xie family's Fuchuang Company can help us open up the northern market.

This is the best chance for your son to expand his business.

Best chance for my son?

(I never expected)

(relationships are still complicated even in the fiction world.)

In your eyes,

as long as the price is right,

you can even sell your son, right?

What are you talking about?

I'm his birth father.

Would I ever harm him?

Don't you see?

Haiming doesn't like that girl named Xie Wanjun.

Is it that important?

Of course.

Haiming's future is what matters most.

- His future. - Do you really care?

(Again with this cliched plot.)

Let me tell you.

Haiming is my son.

No one can force him into doing anything.

Let me tell you.

You're really ridiculous.

Use your brain and think it over.

Why are you here?

Mr. Xie should be here.

Let's go over.

Chairman.

I have things to do. I need to leave now.

You have to leave now?

Then why did you even come today?

You and your mom,

are you two set on opposing me today?

Mom, how about I take you back?

Gao Haiming, I'll ask you one last time.

I said Mr. Xie is here.

Are you going or not?

Don't pressure him.

Forget it, Mom.

You go first.

It's fine.

It's fine.

I'll go to the restroom.

(Leave!)

Gao Haiming.

You've basically met all those suitable heiresses,

but you show no interest.

Well, in that case,

I'll make a decision for you.

Miss Xie is your best choice.

Just because she's the heiress of Fuchuang?

So what?

Every decision I made is for you.

Career always comes first for a man.

Don't be ungrateful.

Making me lose my patience won't benefit you.

I'll wait in the lobby.

Don't embarrass me and your mom.

(Such a domineering father!)

Today's your event.

Why are you so late?

This is my event.

I ran into some friends

and chatted with them.

That's the furniture seller.

Thank you.

Haiming.

Where were you just now?

I've been looking for you.

I got held up.

What a perfect match.

Haiming.

What's your plan tomorrow?

Busy tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow?

Also busy then.

Then are you free three days from now?

Well,

still busy.

How are you always so busy?

I'll check out wedding dress with a friend.

I want you to come with me.

Miss Xie.

Take a day off,

Haiming.

Just take one day off.

Just take one day off.

- Wait, Miss Xie, you... - Haiming.

I want you to come with me.

Please.

- Miss Xie. - Haiming.

- Miss Xie. - Please.

- Come with me. - Miss Xie.

Haiming.

Please.

- Please. - Please.

- Come with me. - Come with me.

- Haiming. - Haiming.

- Please. - Please.

- Come on, Haiming. - Come on, Haiming.

Let's go together.

Where are you two going?

Who are you?

Haiming.

Aren't you going to introduce me?

This is Miss Lin, Lin Huan'er.

Do you know that girl?

Come on! Let's drink.

You must be Miss Xie.

Hello.

Haiming.

You seem quite close to Miss Lin.

Kind of close.

Want to leave here?

What are you trying to do?

Miss Lin, we're in public.

Please behave.

Pardon me?

I said,

please behave.

Why did you push me?

I...

How clumsy.

Haiming, I didn't push her.

Wanjun, are you okay?

Take this.

What's wrong?

What happened?

- Mr. Gao. - Mr. Gao.

She didn't mean to.

It was all my fault.

What do you mean?

Wait, hold on.

Who are you?

Haiming.

Look, your suit is stained.

Go clean up.

Right.

I should accompany Haiming to clean it up.

Excuse us.

I'll go clean up.

Who are you?

Mr. Gao.

Did you know her?

Wait, why did she know me?

Who is she?

Who is she?

I remember now.

I think I saw her at the company meeting.

She must be a new employee the company just hired.

Probably a new secretary Haiming hired.

Why would Haiming hire a secretary like that?

She acted recklessly.

Exactly.

Mr. Gao.

Fire her.

Alright.

I will take care of it right away.

Cheer up.

She is so adorable.

Enough.

Why are you here?

To ask you to let me join Letao.

Why investigate me?

I'll tell you if you hire me.

Where are you?

Mr. Gao, I just went to refuel.

And I have a traffic jam.

It'll take 20 minutes to get to you.

Try your best.

It's the weekend, so traffic must be heavy.

If you took a car back,

you would get home late.

Then you would have no time to assemble your airplane model.

How did you know I assemble models at this time?

(It was mentioned in the book.)

(Gao Haiming assembles models whenever he's upset.)

It doesn't matter. Want to get home in 20 minutes?

Take my ride.

As a big boss who is

so wealthy and handsome,

you would have this kind of problem.

Miss Lin.

Please focus on riding.

I'm on your side.

Freedom is very important.

Don't talk while riding.

Have you heard of the misattribution of arousal?

What?

(Misattribution of arousal.)

(When one is in a tense environment with a racing heart,)

(he mistakenly interprets heart-racing caused by the situation)

(as the illusion of being attracted by the other person.)

What were you doing?

J-just now...

I'll ride.

Did you feel even a little scared?

I don't trust your driving skills.

But do you know how?

Come on.

You do it.

Miss Lin.

No bosses

want their employees to know everything about them.

So no matter what you do,

I won't let you join Letao.

Sorry.

I admit I used some tricks.

But doesn't that show how much I desire and strive for this job?

Don't be fooled by the misattribution of arousal.

You tried it and should know

it doesn't work, right?

Good night.

You're back.

(Congratulations.)

(Male Lead's fondness toward you has increased,)

(currently at ten percent.)

(Keep it up!)

(Establish a work connection with Gao Haiming.)

Why did you deny it?

This proves the misattribution of arousal works.

Establish a work connection...

How?

He won't even hire me.

What did the book say?

(Seems like joining a company called Yunsheng.)

Huan'er, don't you go to bed?

I have to work hard

and get into Yunsheng PR Dept.

You work so hard.

I think you'll definitely succeed.

I'm going to bed now.

Good night.

(Due to your great effort,)

(you're awarded with a gift pack.)

No sanitary pads!

(Yunsheng Tower)

First, research these companies thoroughly.

No need to handle the proposal now.

Wait, what happened?

A bug occurred?

Hello.

(Due to your efforts,)

(you're rewarded with accelerated plot.)

(You have joined Yunsheng as a PR specialist.)

(Keep it up!)

Ridiculous!

Who needs this kind of

accelerated plot?

If you had any sincerity,

just max out the fondness.

Why didn't you accelerate plot last night?

I object.

Stand up.

Object to what?

Lin Huan'er, don't forget

you're still on probation.

No.

(Xiang Lingling, PR Dept Manager)

Ma'am Xiang.

I think

these tasks lack challenge.

I want to take over challenging tasks.

First, address me as Ms. Xiang.

Don't try to flatter me.

Second, given your resume,

I think collaborating with these companies is already challenging to you.

First, Yunsheng already collaborated with the first two companies.

Just maintain routine relations with them.

But this one,

Kelv is a recent contact,

producing skincare products.

But as a small brand, they might get disputes on quality control

and have minor issues.

I think we can use this to push cooperation.

You've done your prep work well.

Then give me the cooperation proposal for Kelv

before getting off work.

By myself?

Stand up.

Out!

Lin Huan'er, here you are.

Make 20 copies of this.

Why staring at me?

Go now!

I'm swamped!

Mr. Wang.

Okay.

Let me help, Lin Huan'er.

You... No need.

You are?

Wang Zhen.

Thank you.

You're so kind.

You can still smile after seeing Xiang Lingling?

Impressive!

I've seen someone meaner than her.

This is nothing.

Ms. Xiang has been in a bad mood lately.

Don't provoke her.

Why is she in a bad mood?

Because the boss ordered her to secure the Letao order.

She's worried about it.

Letao?

Yes.

Letao is approaching various PR companies.

I bet something's going on behind the scenes,

but can't find any leads.

Make way!

Move! Make way!

Go forward!

Don't block my way!

Okay?

So sorry!

Way too rude!

Come on.

(Who's he?)

(Fang Yuan.)

(Fang Yuan?)

(Fang)

(Yuan.)

(Yuan.)

(He's the boss.)

(What?) God blesses me.

(He's the boss?) Wish me wealth.

(Boss.) God blesses me. Thank you.

(Him?)

(Boss.)

Stay calm.

(Okay.) Okay?

- I... - What are you doing here?

- This is... - It's work hours.

- Yes. - Back to work!

- Got it. - Absurd!

Listen, everyone.

Year-end is coming.

You must work hard.

Don't waste time!

Upgrade to a big company by year-end!

Get pumped up! Understand?

Okay?

Okay.

- Okay. - Okay.

Okay?

Okay.

Go for it! Hurry.

Give me the documents.

Be quick.

The last issue of Star and Firefly performed exceptionally well.

It's currently ranked in the top three for magazine serialized comic sales.

Besides, we've received many letters and gifts from fans.

Also, the Market Editorial Department conducted research.

They found that Star and Firefly are still everyone's favorite couple.

Although their story is a bit rocky

and it's a mismatched romance,

that's what makes it so captivating.

So...

So...

So the Market Editorial Department has decided

once the serialization ends,

they'd publish a standalone volume of Star and Firefly.

Really? Fantastic!

Back when we were selecting topics,

I already

had high hopes for it.

Miss Mengmeng,

you haven't been in the industry for long,

but you're quite talented and unconstrained.

It proves my judgment was accurate.

Thank you.

About the proposal and outline for There He/She Comes,

I've already reviewed them thoroughly.

But I think

if the whole story just revolves around the friendship between two girls,

it might feel a bit prosaic.

No problem.

I can add romantic storylines for them.

That's exactly what I want.

Then we've reached a consensus.

I'll leave then.

By the way,

submit the draft soon.

Don't worry.

Hello, Huan'er.

Huan'er, you really get me.

My comic is getting a standalone volume.

I was thinking of going shopping to celebrate.

No problem.

I'll cover everything.

Whoever you are,

get off Huan'er right now!

Don't be so dramatic.

Was I that stingy before?

You always said to spend money wisely,

and to save it for Xiaojue.

I was really foolish before.

Huan'er,

are you okay?

You don't seem quite yourself.

Do you have a fever?

Let's see a doctor.

No need.

Let's have a splurge.

What?

Who's paying it?

Xiaojue loves their clothes the most.

So?

Have you forgotten?

You used your first paycheck

to buy clothes from them for him.

Over here.

This one suits you.

Suits me?

Okay.

How does this look on me?

Very understated. It suits you.

What?

- Take mine. - Alright.

- Alright. - You've paid.

- Alright. - Hope to see you again.

Okay, thanks.

Let's go.

Feels great.

We got the clothes.

Then let's go buy some bags.

Still buying?

Yes.

Mengmeng, have you heard

that bags cure all illness?

And honestly,

money in this world is like game coins to me.

It is quite useless.

(I've used up my living expenses.)

(Last time, you)

- (transferred me VND 10,000.) - Who is it?

It's okay.

- Don't mind him. - (I know you're acting out.)

Let's go buy bags.

(You're living a tough life.)

You...

Stop buying.

Listen, I'll buy you whatever you like.

You'd use up Xiaojue's living expenses

for next month.

Mengmeng, what does he have anything to do with...

Well, he has something to do with me.

But think about it.

I transferred him 10,000 yuan not long ago.

10,000 yuan?

Yes, that's a lot.

He must be living very comfortably now,

so don't worry.

Let's go buy bags.

Then you still spent so much today?

Let's go.

Is it a photo sticker booth?

(Creating memories) I haven't taken these in ages.

Let's take a set.

Let's go.

(Prepare for shooting)

(Look up at the camera)

So cute.

So cute.

(Letao Tower)

(Letao's agency market share) The market share of Beikeke diapers

(in the first half of the year) under Lovebaby been dropping.

Our agents are barely making any profit.

- Shall we stop importing it? - Why?

For two reasons.

First, the domestic spokesperson's reputation has declined.

Second, the product quality

hasn't been upgraded properly.

Any good suggestions?

I suggest we stop importing it

and urge Lovebaby to make adjustments.

I agree.

Well, continue importing it

and increase the promotional budget.

Mr. Huang.

Get these done.

First, remove news related to Beikeke's original spokesperson and the products.

Second, contact the manufacturer to prepare for the second-phase upgrade.

Yes, but...

That's it. Meeting adjourned.

Everything's going well.

We're negotiating with raw material sites and processing plants.

We strive

to secure the lowest price.

Okay.

Beyond the few reliable staff involved,

keep it a secret,

just in case.

Understood.

(Analysis of Market Share and Strategies)

Need me to send you back?

No, thanks.

(Runner-up Prize, Colorful Dreams International Comics Contest)

(Zhu Mengmeng, A Bright Future)

Fans are quite curious

what will happen between Star and Firefly.

Would they part?

Though Star appears cold and indifferent on the surface,

it doesn't mean he doesn't need light.

Rest assured.

Firefly's tiny light can still illuminate him.

They will have a happy ending.

(Shoot to Hit)

Haven't you started?

Get lost!

Seems like you have been too busy with work,

so you can't shoot accurately.

Not at all.

I've recently realized that during shooting,

the score isn't what matters,

but the process matters.

Well, Mr. Gao,

spare us your business philosophy theories at the shooting range.

So, how's your work lately?

A bit bumpy, I suppose.

It's fine.

With your capability, that's nothing.

Easier said than done.

In that case,

if you hadn't saved me back then,

I wouldn't even be here today.

It's been years. Can we drop it?

Another round?

Plenty of target paper.

Feel free to shoot.

You!

(Letao Tower)

Miss, who are you looking for?

Hello, I'm a PR specialist from Yunsheng.

I'm here to talk with Mr. Yu.

Okay, do you have an appointment?

No.

You can't enter without an appointment.

Here's the thing.

I'm from Yunsheng.

Yunsheng and Letao have a collaboration.

I'm afraid it won't work.

It's our company policy.

You can't enter without an appointment.

Sorry, miss.

Alright.

Thanks.

What did she just want?

She said she's a PR specialist from Yunsheng,

looking for the Marketing Manager.

Clever tricks.

Be alert. Don't ever let her in.

Okay.

Lin Huan'er!

Where's the proposal?

Working on it.

Give me before getting off work, or quit the job.

(Guess I have to work obediently)

(and proceed step by step.)

(Proposal)

(Three-step Strategy of Beikeke Upgraded Product Release)

(Letao Cooperation Proposal)

Come in.

Ms. Xiang.

Here's the crisis PR proposal for Kelv you requested.

It took way too long.

You're fired.

Wait.

Hold on!

Take a look at this.

(Letao Public Relations Proposal)

Letao PR Proposal?

- Who told you to do so? - Here's the thing.

I heard our company's bidding for long-term cooperation with Letao,

so I did some research.

I discovered Beikeke under Letao is losing market share rapidly,

so I thought this might be an opportunity.

Beikeke?

Mind your own business.

Who told you to do so? Out!

Wait, how about reviewing my proposal first?

If you approve it,

I can deliver it to Letao now.

Your job is to finish tasks I told you to,

not to assign me tasks.

Letao isn't your concern. Out!

But my proposal...

(I underestimated her.)

(This NPC isn't easy to deal with.)

(My proposal!)

(She's going to steal my proposal.)

Where are you going?

Go away.

Are you going to Letao?

None of your business.

It is my business.

If you deliver it,

you might fail.

Are you doubting me?

I'm doubting my proposal.

I'm afraid it's not polished enough.

If you present it and jeopardize the partnership with Letao

and this fails,

I'm afraid it'd implicate you.

I have a solution.

What is it?

I'll deliver it.

Don't worry. If it succeeds,

I'll just say I'm a courier delivering documents.

If it fails,

you can pin all the blame on me.

Why are you helping me?

To be honest,

I'm really short on cash.

If this works out,

a small bonus from you

would make me very happy.

Bring me good news.

(Letao Sales Optimization Proposal) Rumors are spreading

that Beikeke has quality issues.

This is deliberate slander.

But if Beikeke gets off the shelves,

it'll severely damage Lovebaby's entire brand image.

Mr. Gao.

What do you think our PR firm can do?

I suggest

hiring industry experts for professional evaluation and testing

to clear Beikeke's name

and launching upgraded products.

After restoring its reputation,

Beikeke will return with new packaging

and superior quality.

Understood.

Rest assured.

We'll handle this properly.

Thank you then.
