[English subtitles are available]

You can put on the cheongsam if you like it,

[Previously]

else you can just leave it.

This is what I am.

If you don't think I deserve you,

so be it.

We tried and tried,

but we just couldn't find the time to go on a date.

It's like a long distance relationship.

We'll see each other if we're free, else we'll do a video call.

It'll be easier for us this way.

I think I'm just a loser.

No job and no romantic relationship.

But she has never given up.

She won't just change herself because others

dislike her.

I, Guan Yue, will never be defeated!

How I wish we'd never get into a fight.

Marriage is something to be happy about.

[Dear Missy]

Wang.

What's going on?

Where's all my stuff?

Ms Liu was fired.

The company knew that he's moonlighting.

What's there to do with me?

Read the email for yourself.

I didn't do anything at all.

Not only that,

I lost the chance for a promotion

because I didn't want to help him.

I was fired because of this.

It's ridiculous.

[Appointment letter: Cheng Nan is assigned as technical director.]

[Cheng Nan is assigned as technical director.]

Surprise!

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Whose idea was that?

The best part is always at the end.

-Fun, wasn't it? -You

shall work overtime for a week.

You're so cruel.

Anyway, thank you.

Thank you.

Wang will treat us all

tonight.

-Yes. -On me.

Thank you, everyone.

Get back to work.

Thank you.

So

who will replace Ms Liu?

I was told that we're going to have a lady boss.

Lady boss?

We're doomed. She'll be a bigger diva than Director Liu.

Naggy, controlling,

sensitive and aggressive.

A tough customer, for sure.

You're just prejudiced against female superiors.

Let's go check out my new desk.

Why not?

Let's go.

This way.

[Dear Missy, Episode 9: "Dating Isn't a Contract Negotiation"]

So we have to change these three topics?

They're not fresh enough. Get some new ones.

Sure.

Looks like everyone is busy.

You're still working?

Look at you all.

Shen Si Yi has carried out a reform.

And this is what she turns you all into.

Director Zhao.

What's with the gifts?

These are given by the clients.

I was thinking

of sharing them with you all.

Here you are.

-Thank you, Director Zhao. -You're welcome.

Thank you.

I like the sales department.

-It has so much funds. -What?

Quite the opposite.

Shen Si Yi wasn't even interested

in the client we found.

And we have no sales for almost half a month.

However,

it's absolutely challenging in a business transformation.

Yes?

My department will fully support you.

For you.

You've received it, too.

Zhao Yang is so cunning.

He thinks he can win our favour with beauty products.

But when it comes to work, he never takes responsibility.

He's always taking advantage of others.

I'm not worried at all.

You'll see.

We'll get enough

active daily users in another week.

Lu Ke.

I'm listening.

Buying something?

My air conditioner is broken.

I want to get a new one.

You're taking care of it

while he just stands by?

It's not that.

He's stepping into a new role.

I don't want to give him more things to worry about.

There's an online sale promotion.

I was thinking of simply buying a new one.

You've talked it over with him about the cheongsam?

Dating isn't a contract negotiation.

Something just can't be expressed through words.

Not for me.

Yao Yuan isn't having it easy with you.

See you tomorrow.

Bye.

Let's go celebrate your promotion.

I have to go home.

I'll give everyone a treat tomorrow.

Let's do it today.

Ask Lu Ke to go along.

I need to fix my air conditioner at home.

Lu Ke couldn't sleep at night

as the room was too warm.

You really care for her.

Of course I am.

I care for her

because she's my wife.

Why getting the trouble into fixing it

since you're getting an increased salary?

Just buy a new one.

I'm not spending the money on a new one.

Better to save up the money.

It's easy for you to say because you're single.

You're too frugal.

We'll have the treat tomorrow.

-Cheng Nan couldn't make it today. -He still can

treat you all, too, today.

My treat shall be tomorrow, okay?

Sure.

You're back.

It's fixed?

It's a new one.

It was delivered

and installed in no time.

We're going

to have a good night's sleep.

You like it?

By the way,

I got promoted as technical director.

Really?

That's great.

What happened to that annoying Ms Liu?

He was fired.

I'm happy for you.

We're hearing good news today.

A promotion and a new air conditioner.

And we've stopped fighting.

Yes.

No fighting between us.

Pass me the screw driver.

The big one in green.

-This one? -Thanks.

What's going on?

It's broken.

The building management didn't send anyone here.

Get down from there.

-Let me fix it. -I'm fine.

Let's loosen it here.

It's done.

-Slowly. -Okay.

I'm just so reckless.

-Okay. -I have never seen you before.

You are...

Ms Li, let's have the meeting here.

Sure.

-Call everyone to come here. -Sure.

You must be Cheng Nan,

the newly promoted technical director.

You know me?

It's printed on your card.

-Have a seat. -Sure.

I'm the new vice president of sales, Li Dong Dong.

Let's begin the meeting.

Brief everyone, Ah Jun.

Page H5.

Sure.

[Did you bring Qing Yu's book?]

[Just enter when you arrive at the exhibition hall.]

-Thanks. -You're welcome.

Hello.

-Hello. -Hello. Are you from Nouveau?

-Yes. -Hello.

Si Yi is inside.

She wants me to take you for a tour around here.

-Nice meeting you. -Nice meeting you.

You read the book?

I did.

How do you feel about it?

You can tell me frankly.

I think the author...

I think the author seems to become depraved.

Why say so?

His previous comments were very precise.

I really admired his impartiality.

He's obviously

flattering the designer in this book.

And its contents

are highly sensational.

Most likely he has received the money under the table.

-Qing Yu. -Hello.

How was the conversation with my editor-in-chief?

So you're the author?

She's really awesome.

Thanks for the comments.

Hi.

Calm down.

-Mr Yang. -Just be casual.

Just call me Qing Yu.

Master sounds awkward to me.

I'm sorry for just now.

-I talked too much. -That was fine.

I really admired that.

A truthful feedback is all I need.

One thing I must clarify.

I wasn't bribed by anyone.

I tend not to criticise so much in the book

because he's my friend.

Are you free during the weekend?

We have a book discussion club.

You can come over and join us

if you're interested.

You're sure? Because I like

to grumble.

We want someone like you to join us.

Tell you what,

let's add each other on WeChat.

Just let me know if you're free to join us.

-Okay? -Sure.

Let me scan you.

Got it.

The site is ready.

We can start the interview now.

Let's go.

[Qing Yu]

What's up?

Nothing.

I just feel sad for Cheng Nan.

We're just having a working relationship.

Right.

I'll bet with you.

Yang Qing Yu is fond of you.

Not all men

think the same way as you.

But all men

exactly have just the same thought as me.

Do you think everyone really loves reading a book?

The eventual goal isn't that, okay?

I can't be bothered.

Then I'll go join you, too.

Ms Li.

Why are you still here?

I still have some unfinished work.

I was told that you're a workaholic.

Aren't you still here?

Can't help it.

I'm the same as you.

I'm having my meal.

You want some?

I have extra ones.

I could use that.

Sure.

-For you. -Thanks.

What's it?

Nothing.

I'm just curious.

Why did you fix the air conditioner by yourself?

Didn't I tell you?

The technician wasn't available.

You could have asked a guy among the colleagues to help you.

You needn't trouble yourself.

Too unladylike for you?

I didn't mean that.

This isn't the first time I was hearing that.

That's me.

I won't trouble others

if I could do it myself.

I'm free tomorrow evening.

Me, too.

I'll treat you to a meal.

Sure.

What's your preference?

What about Thai food?

No.

Tell me what you like.

I'm listening.

Why don't I cook for us?

Are you doubting me?

Do I look like one who doesn't know how to cook?

Lu Ke told me

that your kitchenware

is still brand new.

I've never cooked before.

But now I want to try it after seeing Lu Ke

putting herself into it.

I could be talented.

That doesn't mean you can

use me as a guinea pig.

You still don't trust me?

That's it. I'll go do some research on cooking.

Bye.

You guys are too much.

Just a moment.

From now on,

let's not talk about work,

okay?

As you wish.

Same here.

Let's drink.

You haven't hung out with us in almost a month, right, Lu Ke?

Not really.

Besides,

wasn't Guan Yue absent, too?

Yeah, and Yao Yuan's been busy dating, too.

Why didn't you rag on him?

You two are ganging up on me now?

Let me ask you guys.

What occasion is on Friday next week?

-What's it? -What's it?

Seriously? Even I remember it.

How could you two forget?

Now I remember.

It will be me and Lu Ke's seventh anniversary.

Right.

10th of June is just around the corner.

Don't you want to throw a big party

to celebrate?

Sure.

Why not?

That's the spirit.

Let's drink.

I have to skip work to bring you the medicine.

Can't you use FlashEx?

I can barely move.

Now you know your buddies are more dependable

than your girlfriend.

Cut the nonsense. I need water.

Here.

How long can a pill last?

You've been in the bathroom all day, and you still want to go?

Why does it have to be today?

Can't you postpone your meeting with her?

We're just so busy

that we hardly see each other.

It looks as if it's a long distance relationship.

We haven't been seeing each other for long.

I'll go now.

Just get some rest.

Don't risk your life for a date.

You're exaggerated.

This set meal is good.

-This is nice. -How much is it?

This is our most popular package, "Starry Sky."

There's a discount for this.

The total is 139,988 yuan.

It's expensive.

Are there other options?

-This one. -Not bad.

How much is it?

Our clients like this very much.

It's 99,800 yuan.

Do you have something simpler?

I have decided.

We'll take the first package.

-Starry Sky. -Cheng Nan.

This is over our budget.

I'm fine so long as you like it.

We'll take that.

-But we... -Sure.

I'll get the contract prepared.

-Thanks. -Thanks.

I really like this one.

Cheng Nan.

Should we do this?

It isn't necessary.

Stop worrying about the money.

Let's just be happy.

It's so nice.

Don't you always want this?

Look at that.

The crabs have run everywhere.

Help me to catch them.

Only crabs?

There are others.

Scallops.

Oysters.

And also,

prawns.

All is seafood.

Are you allergic to seafood?

No.

So?

I just worried

that this may be too much for you.

Not at all.

It's so simple.

It won't be too long.

Will be done in a moment.

I made some improvement in the recipe.

I've added more chillies.

It looks delicious.

Isn't it?

Let's try it.

-Not bad. -Really?

What are you waiting for?

Just try it.

Take a big gulp.

I've spent

half a day preparing the prawns.

How is it?

It's simply authentic.

Oysters.

Take the big one.

Here you are.

Try it.

Swallow it in one go.

Is it fresh?

Have another one.

Here you go.

It's a big one.

Who are you chatting so happily with?

An author.

We want to interview him

and post it on our official account.

He looks like a prude.

The guy may have an ulterior motive.

I'm not dumb, okay?

You're easily jealous lately.

You're just being too sensitive

for no reason.

I'm jealous?

I'll go make dinner.

Watch for another while.

Watch for another while.

Gosling's acting is really good.

The movie is well-directed.

Are you all right?

You have a stomachache?

Could be the oysters.

What are you laughing at?

Nothing.

Luckily, you also have diarrhoea.

Otherwise, you have to get the medicine out there.

I already had six pills.

Why didn't you say so earlier?

I wouldn't have made the seafood if I knew it.

We hardly can see each other.

I didn't want to disappoint you.

Let me tell you an interesting story from when I was a student.

Back then, I was particularly fond of this girl in my class.

One time, during sports day,

she happened to be the referee for the 10,000m event.

I told her that if I led the race

and crossed the finish line,

I would just pretend I was exhausted.

In this case, I could hug her.

In the end, I didn't let myself down.

I took the place first.

As I crossed the finish line,

I opened my arms,

and so did she.

I threw up.

The vomited stuff was splashed all over her.

And then?

Then

of course I could forget about the girl.

I was a laughingstock the whole semester.

Just to let you know

that I'm happy to see you this way.

It's rare to see you being so quiet.

And pretty cute, too.

I'm already getting better.

Stop pretending.

Mr Wang.

Wait.

Ms Guan.

Has Mr Wang finished the meeting?

I'm sorry, Ms Guan.

He's too busy today.

Why don't you come back another day?

But...

He asked me to come to talk about the payment.

I have been waiting for three hours.

Mr Sang, I'm coming over.

-Mr Sang. -Mr Wang.

Long time no see. Glad to see you.

Show Mr Sang the way.

-Sure. -Take a break.

Mr Wang.

Didn't I tell you to wait for another two days?

-Can't you wait for another two days? -It's already been two days.

Why did you let a stranger in?

You can't renege on our agreement!

What kind of artist are you?

So money-oriented.

Wait.

I'm sorry. You can't go in.

I...

I still need to survive even if I'm an artist!

Don't you want to be successful?

You were so passionate, and now you're shopping again?

I tried my best.

What can I do

if they refuse to pay me?

I can't just beat up the guy, can I?

Now

I'm going to show you something.

This is something awesome.

It can be used to ward off evil.

And this.

You must listen to this.

The Velvet Underground.

This is a limited edition.

800 yuan? Are you crazy?

I need to listen to it for inspiration.

What's this?

I can't get anything out of it.

Isn't that you?

You don't know anything at all.

Why are you still able to buy those stuff

without getting the payment?

I didn't get the payment.

Can't I spend some money

without getting the payment?

Isn't this lose-lose situation?

Where did you get the money from?

I have my dad's card.

He secretly gave this to me

for emergencies.

Are you having an emergency?

What are you doing?

Returning the stuff.

You can't.

Since I attended the police academy,

I have never asked a penny from my folks.

It's hard in the beginning.

The feeling is unusual when you earn

your first salary.

It feels so good to spend the money you earned.

So from now on,

you're in charge of creative work

while I manage you.

Step aside.

Let me handle that.

Go ahead.

Quick.

Quick.

Let me hug it for a while.

[Li Dong Dong]

-Hello. -[Have you left?]

I'll be going soon.

[Forget it.]

It's okay.

Anything urgent?

[I'm seeing a client in a while.]

[The client is that private hospital.]

[I will show them the online program.]

[There appears to be a problem with the program on my computer.]

[I'm helpless now.]

Don't worry.

I'll go over and meet you.

Send me your address.

[I'll do it now.]

See you in a bit.

[Star Hotel.]

[Li Dong Dong, Star Hotel]

Ms Li.

Sorry to have you coming here.

No worries.

Come on in.

It's a little messy here.

Hope you don't mind.

It's okay.

Have a seat.

Why are you putting up in a hotel?

I'm getting a divorce from my husband.

It's just temporary out here.

I'm sorry, Ms Li.

-Hope you don't mind. -It's nothing.

Here you are.

By the way, don't worry, Ms Li.

I'll never tell anyone about this.

It doesn't matter.

A divorce isn't something shameful.

By the way, Cheng Nan,

the index is 4.68

from the last test, right?

It's 4.98.

Today, it has improved.

Okay.

How is it?

Is it fixed?

It's fixed.

The problem was due to a conflict between our software

and an unclosed back-end program.

It's now back to normal.

-Good. -Then I'll go now.

Let me send you back later

since I'm driving.

I'm fine. I can go back myself.

-Thanks, Ms Li. -Thanks for your effort.

It's okay.

[Forwarded email from Li Dong Dong: IT operations outsourcing proposal.]

Cheng Nan.

Cheng Nan.

Help me with my zipper.

Zip this up.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Was thinking of something related to work.

Done.

Si Yi.

I've confirmed with CPB.

They will advertise with us if we meet their standard.

Thanks for your effort, Director Zhao.

It's my job.

However,

the number of our active daily users

still have room for improvement.

Don't worry, we still have eight hours.

Good.

Then I shall await your good news.

I'm sure we can achieve it.

We can celebrate then.

The staircase is broken.

Director Zhao.

One should watch

where he's stepping.

[Core idea]

Your core idea isn't clear yet.

I got it.

We can post an article.

-It's... -The idea is good, but we must

consider marketing.

Is it done, Da Xiong?

Almost.

The contract is with me.

I'll calculate the time for you.

The date is roughly the 15th of this month.

Send me a message

if you've confirmed it.

Then this season should be fine.

Don't worry.

[7:00 p.m.]

Okay.

Very good.

Keep it up.

Lu Ke.

The video card for Yang Qing Yu's interview is faulty.

What?

How about this?

The bulbs are blocking the TV.

Push it to the back.

This one?

How can we see it, then?

Nobody will look at the bulbs when watching the TV.

Okay.

What's this?

I found this when I was spring cleaning.

It's interesting.

Shall we watch it together?

-Yes. -What's it?

What's that?

That was taken on my graduation.

I have been keeping it.

It's too big.

Guan Yue really cared for you, Yao.

Why didn't she help me roll up my sleeves?

Stop talking else I'll hit you.

Look at me, Wang.

How do I look?

It's so embarrassing.

Look at you!

Lu Ke!

Lu Ke.

Pause here.

I still want to watch it.

Lu Ke will appear soon in the video.

Let's wait for her and watch it together.

Call her up now.

I wonder where she is now.

What a smug look.

What a smug look.

We still can't recover the video card, Si Yi.

What should we do?

How long do you need to come up with an article?

Two hours.

Now the video can't be used.

You might as well write an interview draft.

I need less than two hours for this.

-We need to post it by 10 p.m. -Sure.

Search for Yang Qing Yu's pictures, Xiao Xia.

Sure.

[Cheng Nan]

Hello, Cheng Nan.

Everyone is waiting for you.

It's okay.

Lu Ke's company

is having a situation.

She won't be home any time soon.

What next?

Why don't we

call it a day?

Where are you going, Cheng Nan?

I'm sending food to Lu Ke.

She's been having an upset stomach.

She needs something warm to eat.

Don't take them all,

save some for us.

Come home the soonest possible.

Okay.

I'll go now.

Isn't today their seventh anniversary?

I bought everyone some wontons.

-Thanks. -You're welcome.

-Go ahead. -Thanks.

-Mr Yang. -Thanks.

-You're here. -Thanks, Mr Yang.

-Thanks. -It's nothing.

Help yourself.

I was told

that you all will work late tonight.

So I bought everyone supper.

You're simply too kind to us.

It's nothing. I was told

that you're coming up with an article.

Yes.

We have no choice.

Let me help you

since I was the interviewee,

I still remember the contents of the interview.

It isn't necessary.

It's finishing soon.

Why don't you eat something

while it's warm?

I'm fine, Mr Yang. Just put it on the desk.

I'll have it later.

Lu Ke.

I want to give you this.

What?

I think this is nicely taken.

Are you free tomorrow?

I just want us...

It's going to be 10 p.m. soon, Lu Ke.

I need to complete it.

Go ahead.

[Data]

Si Yi.

Just try to be relaxed.

It takes time

for the numbers to improve.

Thanks, Director Zhao.

Stop worrying for us.

[New topics, New users, Total users]

Isn't it going up?

Isn't it going up?

[Total users]

It has really gone up.

It has gone up.

Shen Si Yi!

Director Zhao.

You promised us

about the advertising.

-Bye, Director Zhao. -Bye.

Bye, Director Zhao.

-Bye. -Bye.

It's still going up.

Still going up.

Please come in.

Lu Ke.

Mr Yang.

Are you free later?

Let me send you home

-if you have nothing else. -No, thanks.

It's better to have someone to send you home at this time.

Let me send you home.

My boyfriend is picking me up.

I'm sorry. I didn't know you're attached to someone.

-It's okay. -I'll go now.

Sure.

I'm sorry.

-It hurts. -I'm sorry.

Sorry for hurting you.

Hope it's not swollen.

I'm fine.

-I'm sorry. -Don't worry about that.

Cheng Nan.

-I... -Cheng Nan.

Please don't go, Cheng Nan.

-Listen to me, Cheng Nan. -Get your hands off me.

Lu Ke.

This is what you mean by "working overtime?"

You've got it all wrong.

Don't lie to me. I saw it with my own eyes.

He's working with us.

Our relationship is purely professional.

Why was he touching your head?

We accidentally knocked against each other.

I swear.

I've told him that I'm attached to someone.

Why were the two of you having a close body contact?

This is not the first time.

What job is this? There are so many misunderstandings

and it's so complicated.

-You've misunderstood us. -Keep your hands off me.

I have no doubts about it. Keep your hands off me.

It was really just a mishap.

Get your hands off me.

-Get your hands off me. -Cheng Nan.

What do you think you're doing?

Mind your own business.

This is the company's matter.

This is my girlfriend.

I've known her for more than 20 years.

I know her better than you.

Come home with me, Lu Ke.

She won't go with you.

Si Yi.

Are you coming with me?

Listen to me, Cheng Nan.

Watch out, Cheng Nan!

You're still not over it?

[In the next episode]

You're quite open-hearted, aren't you?

I'll find happiness myself.

How?

Men are simple. They only care about three things.

Dignity, money and happiness.

Why is your face red?

Don't you feel hot?

Are you afraid that I'll discover...

Marriage isn't just a show for others to see.

Just cancel the wedding.

Let's clear the air between us today.

Are you done, Cheng Nan?

I really look down on you for what you are now.

You want to break up with me?

I've had enough.
