SAY NO TO PIRACY, SUPPORT ORIGINALS

ADAPTED FROM <i>THE EARLY SPRING</i> ON JJWXC.NET
AUTHOR: GU NIANG BIE KU

3
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,320
From next week,
I'll be stationed in Hong Kong, China.

4
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,040
An assignment from my work.

5
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:50,880
Hong Kong, China?

6
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,160
That's so sudden. You never mentioned it.

7
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,760
The decision was made last week.

8
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,960
Wang Zhiyong got together
with the new intern.

9
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,480
So, you're leaving because of the breakup?

10
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,120
When you're in your twenties,

11
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,400
you think love is everything.

12
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,080
But the reality
will give you a rude awakening.

13
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,320
A five-year relationship

14
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,880
is nothing compared
to the harshness of life.

15
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,920
I will miss Beijing.

16
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,240
But I think it's not that bad.

17
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,160
Perhaps a new environment

18
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,000
could be the beginning of something new.

19
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,880
When I was packing yesterday,

20
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,600
I found this behind the radiator.

21
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,560
RENT A PLACE WITH FLOOR-TO-CEILING WINDOWS

22
00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:17,120
IN CHAOYANG DISTRICT WITHIN FIVE YEARS!
YAO BEI

23
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,640
Isn't it funny?

24
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:27,360
Come.

25
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:29,840
A toast to Beijing.

26
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,240
A toast to when we used to think
love can triumph over property prices.

27
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,200
And now, we know by heart
how to use an Excel sheet

28
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,200
to calculate our down payment
and interest.

29
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:43,800
A toast to Beijing.

30
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,440
A toast to those nights
when we cried and said we couldn't go on.

31
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,400
And when the sun rose,

32
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,240
we still had to save
our presentation slides as a new file.

33
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,320
<i>We learned how to squeeze</i>
<i>into the subway morning rush hour,</i>

34
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,480
<i>and we also learned how to find</i>
<i>our footing amidst the crowd.</i>

35
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,400
INFLUENCER'S PICK, PORK TENDERLOIN 16 YUAN

36
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,360
<i>I want to toast to Beijing too.</i>

37
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:14,760
To those days

38
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,680
when we cried

39
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,959
and said we wanted
to go home the next day.

40
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:27,080
Yet when the sun rose,
we swallowed our cold ambition

41
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,040
with a smile.

42
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:31,920
Shang Zhitao.

43
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,400
You will be fine

44
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,480
because an ambitious person

45
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,160
will not be defeated by life.

46
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,800
We will be invincible.

47
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,040
Come.

48
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,200
AN AMBITIOUS PERSON
WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED BY LIFE

49
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,320
Do you have a history with Luke?

50
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,040
No.

51
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,560
I had to go through a lot to get it.

52
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:15,960
He didn't ask for anything in return?

53
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,280
He asked me
to do a presentation deck for him.

54
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,280
What for?

55
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,400
I haven't finished it yet.

56
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:22,440
The automobile company?

57
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:28,400
Come on.

58
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,600
No need to cover for him.

59
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,560
I already heard his team
has set their eyes on Yueteng Auto.

60
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,640
No wonder he doesn't want Qipai anymore.

61
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,320
You did well. Keep it up.

62
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:43,480
Go now.

63
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,560
Yueteng…

64
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,800
For the mid-to-low-end customer segment,
you can slightly decrease the budget.

65
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,640
Flora.

66
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,440
You completed the mission impossible.

67
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,920
You are my savior!

68
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,000
But I'm curious.
You managed to impress Luke.

69
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,520
Why did you join us?

70
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,600
I did not impress him.
I couldn't impress him.

71
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:15,840
Li Tianran, cheer up.

72
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:17,880
Jealousy is a potion
made with bitter gourd.

73
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:19,320
It makes your life more bitter.

74
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,520
Regardless, what we want is the result.

75
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,800
Now that we have everything from Qipai,
we can proceed with the rest.

76
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,000
To thank Flora,

77
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,080
the team in charge of Qipai
will have dinner together.

78
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,400
-Sun Yu?
-Hop in.

79
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:05,440
You…

80
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,200
-Back seat.
-Okay.

81
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,520
-Sit tight.
-Sure.

82
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,360
A COSMIC COINCIDENCE MADE ROMANTIC

83
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,560
Why did you come pick me up today?

84
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,720
Whose car is this? Your company's car?

85
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:22,960
That's right.

86
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,240
I have been working overtime.
I think I've earned the right

87
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,160
to pick up my friend with my company car.

88
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:29,800
I'm impressed.

89
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,080
You just got into your new position,
and you got along well with everyone.

90
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,040
A company dinner? Not bad.

91
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,520
Things are picking up right now.

92
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:39,800
That's good.

93
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,120
Don't. Hide my face.

94
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:45,680
Let me grab it.

95
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,160
Where are we?

96
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,000
This isn't the right way.

97
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,920
It's not just you.
I also have to pick up Sun as well.

98
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,160
Right.

99
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,200
Pick up Zhu as well.

100
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,200
-Is it cramped back there?
-Very.

101
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,040
I'll get a bigger car
for you guys next time.

102
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,400
How come you're working here today?

103
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,560
My company transferred me
to the self-driving car development team.

104
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,080
They told me
to get a driving license first

105
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,800
so that I could study a driver's habits.

106
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,320
A self-driving car?

107
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,360
Didn't you say you wanted to do that?

108
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:29,760
This is great.

109
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:31,600
Driving?

110
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,320
I want to learn how to drive as well.

111
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,159
Sure.

112
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,240
I'll apply through my company.

113
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,840
If you sign up through our company,
you can get a 20% discount.

114
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:42,799
-Seriously?
-Yes.

115
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,480
Listen. All of you
should get a driving license.

116
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,200
When it's done, all four of us can drive.

117
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,440
The journey of self-improvement
never stops.

118
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:57,040
That's right. To be more like
the hardworking Tao and the studious Zhu,

119
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,440
I also applied for internal promotion,

120
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,520
so that I can be more like you guys.

121
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,040
I will also work hard
to have a great career.

122
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:05,960
Good.

123
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,040
Work is tough,
but it also builds character.

124
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,840
Look. Our goals are becoming clearer.

125
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,000
How great is that?

126
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,320
-Come, Mr. Lin.
-Be patient.

127
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,480
Let's wait for Luke.

128
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,160
He's coming as well?

129
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,400
So we'll be talking about…

130
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,760
Have you heard about Yueteng?

131
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,360
As for the Yueteng project, you lost it.

132
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,840
I'm glad Luke managed to win it back.

133
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:51,120
Don't take this personally
or feel embarrassed.

134
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,920
After all, he gave
Qipai's proposal to you.

135
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,760
We are all one team, aren't we?

136
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:57,360
Yes.

137
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,320
I've been meaning to thank you in person.

138
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,680
Without your help,
he wouldn't have been this generous.

139
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,080
Not necessarily.

140
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,640
Knowing him, if he truly
didn't want to help you,

141
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,600
he wouldn't have budged,
even if I had leveraged my company

142
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:13,560
to put pressure on him.

143
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,120
Right.

144
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,880
He always looks down on others
from his pedestal.

145
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,600
Many people in the company
are fed up with his attitude.

146
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:32,680
But anyway, I did mess up this time.

147
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,240
Luan Nian is a rare talent.

148
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:37,880
He is capable.

149
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,800
But don't sell yourself short either.

150
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:42,760
You have your strengths.

151
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,040
This is how Lime works.

152
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,320
We recruit the <i>creme de la creme</i>.

153
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:48,840
We won't put all our eggs in one basket.

154
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,120
All of you are good at certain things.

155
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,280
That's why our clients
will always come back to us

156
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,840
wherever they go. Right?

157
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:00,840
Mr. Lin.

158
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,560
Thank you so much.

159
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,840
I am absolutely loyal to you.

160
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,640
I get what you are trying to convey.

161
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,960
I lost Yueteng.

162
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,360
I'm happy for Lime

163
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,640
because he managed to win them back.

164
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,400
If you ever need my assistance
in this project,

165
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,520
I'll drop everything to help out.

166
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,960
Thank you again, Mr. Lin.

167
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:32,880
Luan Nian, you are here.

168
00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:34,600
Take a seat.

169
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,960
Sorry, Mr. Lin. I'm late.

170
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,840
It's fine. Alex and I
were just talking about Yueteng.

171
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:46,120
Luke, you sure have avenged me
by winning them back.

172
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,640
My enemy was too weak.

173
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,160
I wasn't talking about you.

174
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,120
I meant the other companies.

175
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:55,680
It's almost Q4 now,

176
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,680
but they haven't even reached
their KPI for Q2.

177
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,040
While I did get the project back,
I'll need Alex's assistance.

178
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,120
Me? You need my help?

179
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,600
I heard you wined and dined
people from Yueteng's branding department

180
00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:09,520
for nearly six months.

181
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,160
You know their company's
internal project information very well.

182
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,280
-I need that information.
-What are you talking about?

183
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,800
-I…
-Whatever.

184
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,320
Our company needs you two
to work together now.

185
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,600
Yueteng is an important project to Lime.

186
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:28,120
I hope both of you
can prioritize the company's interest.

187
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,160
Luke, you lead the charge.
Alex, you'll support him.

188
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,200
Is that doable or not?

189
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:45,760
In all seriousness,

190
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,600
I harbor no hostility.
No one is forever the winner in business.

191
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:53,000
Today, we are enemies.
Tomorrow, we might be allies.

192
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,920
Alex, your effort is not in vain.
You helped us save a lot of time.

193
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,040
Sincere cooperation
is way too formal for us.

194
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,560
Let's make it simple.

195
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,840
We'll split the spoils.

196
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:05,680
What do you think?

197
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:06,840
Interested?

198
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,040
Sure.

199
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,040
Luke will take charge.

200
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,160
Make Lime proud, and I'll also feel proud.

201
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,880
May you bring forth the next miracle run

202
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,320
so that Lime continues
to be the biggest player in the industry.

203
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,320
Come.

204
00:13:45,560 --> 00:13:46,520
Nice.

205
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:47,720
You did it.

206
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,200
You did well, so you've earned
your place in that team.

207
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,600
-You think so?
-Yes.

208
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,960
Without others' help, what should I do
to be allowed into core projects?

209
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,320
Well, stop making Excel sheets for others
like what you are doing now.

210
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,040
That won't earn you
a spot in core projects.

211
00:14:04,680 --> 00:14:08,760
But by studying the data,
I will be familiar with the projects

212
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,400
and how they function.

213
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,120
I know you love to study,

214
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,200
but results speak the loudest at work.

215
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,400
I feel like I can't think straight
during Spring.

216
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,120
I don't feel like working at all.

217
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,240
Flora. Come.

218
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,320
Flora, you did well this time.

219
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,080
Have you had the chance to thank Luke yet?

220
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,960
Thank you, Luke. I'll buy you coffee.

221
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,080
Flora, you are working for Alex now.

222
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,000
Alex should be the one buying.

223
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:00,760
It's on me.

224
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,120
Lumi, you sure are quick and witty.

225
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,640
Now that both of us will work on Yueteng,

226
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,120
I trust you'll take charge
when it comes to negotiation.

227
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,560
Working on Yueteng together?

228
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,160
I look forward to working together.

229
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:38,600
Americano.

230
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:43,960
Alex.

231
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,160
Thank Luke.

232
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:55,800
-What is going on?
-We'll talk later.

233
00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,280
There's an outsider here.

234
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,880
Both teams working on Yueteng?

235
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,320
-Really?
-No idea.

236
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:17,480
Ask around.

237
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:23,560
Hello?

238
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:25,480
Come in.

239
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,400
My parcel. Yes?

240
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:31,840
-I have no signal.
-What's…

241
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,320
Miss, do you have a bigger one?

242
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:42,960
How big do you want?

243
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,720
-Will this work?
-Thank you, miss.

244
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:45,720
You're welcome.

245
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:52,400
Is this your parcel?

246
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:23,119
Come with me.

247
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,200
Do you want us to talk here?

248
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,120
Avoiding me?

249
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,040
Am I a ghost or what?

250
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:54,880
No, I wasn't.

251
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,440
I'm just worried
that you'd threaten to fire me

252
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,160
without giving me an alternative.

253
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:03,160
Did I do that?

254
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,720
When you wanted the document from me,
you wouldn't leave me alone.

255
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:09,520
Once you got it,

256
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,120
you kicked me aside.

257
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:19,280
I wish to maintain
a professional distance between us.

258
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,480
I can reassure you
that I am not an ungrateful person.

259
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,640
I am very grateful
that you lent me your help.

260
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,480
If you ever need my assistance,

261
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:35,480
-I'll help out--
-Why would I ever need your assistance?

262
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,920
I am not inferior to others.

263
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,400
If you need me,
I'll do my best to help you,

264
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,160
but please stop threatening me
with dismissal.

265
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:51,720
I can't bear it.

266
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:57,960
Shang Zhitao.

267
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,360
You are so timid,

268
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,560
shy, humble, and sheepish.

269
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,800
How can you survive in this industry?

270
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,400
And you said
you were not inferior to others?

271
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:23,120
I think you're being inappropriate.

272
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,520
Haven't we made it clear?

273
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:32,640
It was an accident.

274
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,680
Can't you control the feeling of love?

275
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:42,840
The feeling of love…

276
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:46,920
can be controlled.

277
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,800
Come here, everyone.

278
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,280
I have a good announcement to make.

279
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:39,520
Mr. Lin. After you.

280
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:43,800
I have good news.

281
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,120
Luke managed to win Yueteng Auto back.

282
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:57,280
Thank you.

283
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,200
Yueteng is our key client this year.

284
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,760
Moving forward, Alex and I
will be assembling a new project team

285
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,360
from both our teams.

286
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:07,960
I ask for your cooperation.

287
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,880
We only won them back this time
because our opponent, Chengbiao,

288
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,120
picked the wrong printing company.

289
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,720
In the future, we must carefully vet
and pick out the right supplier.

290
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,320
And I want your teams
to submit the list of suppliers to me.

291
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:24,880
We will go through them together.

292
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,880
Of course, you may also
recommend any suppliers.

293
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:32,320
Alex.

294
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,000
Anything you'd like to add?

295
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,840
Nothing. We'll follow you.

296
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,520
Luke, you never let us down.

297
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,480
And Alex, you are also a great leader.

298
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,640
It puts my mind at ease that both of you
are running Lime China.

299
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,280
Zhang Ling. Are you out of your mind?

300
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,440
You kept those people entertained

301
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,400
for three months
before you got that information.

302
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,320
And now, you're giving them to Luan Nian?

303
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,040
It was Mr. Lin's decision.

304
00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:22,800
Besides, we took his project, didn't we?

305
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,240
We're even now.

306
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,520
Mr. Lin only sees Luan Nian.

307
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,160
No matter what we've done
or how well we've done,

308
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:32,800
he never acknowledges it.

309
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,160
Luan Nian never lets anyone down?

310
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,400
Oh, and you're a great leader too.

311
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,760
So tell me, great leader,
what do we do next?

312
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,040
Help Luan Nian achieve his ambition?

313
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,160
Come on. It's not that bad.

314
00:22:58,120 --> 00:22:59,440
Listen.

315
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,040
Luan Nian is not a friend.

316
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,720
When he gets promoted, you'll regret it.

317
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:21,600
<i>There's an update.</i>

318
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,600
Yueteng wants to change
its marketing strategy

319
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,560
to digital marketing.

320
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,080
I need the data of major suppliers.

321
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:29,200
Who can do it?

322
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:35,480
In our line of work, there isn't
a standardized database.

323
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,040
Just because it's the status quo
doesn't mean it's right.

324
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,960
We all have different suppliers

325
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,920
because we work on different projects.

326
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,640
Then, tell me.

327
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,640
Among your suppliers,
who is the most competent?

328
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:51,680
Who is the most cooperative?

329
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,880
Who can advance us the longest?

330
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,000
What is the maximum amount?

331
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,200
What is their respective expertise?

332
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:03,560
Who can do it?

333
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:05,960
I can do it.

334
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,000
But I need someone
who is good at Excel to assist me.

335
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,520
I… I can assist you.

336
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,840
Okay. You'll do it.

337
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,320
On top of compiling the list
of major suppliers, we can include

338
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,040
new suppliers with potential.

339
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,680
Compile everything
and put it in the database.

340
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,520
Our management needs
to be professional and systematic.

341
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,000
Only a systematic method
can lead us in the right direction

342
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,520
and prevent some financial problems.

343
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:39,880
Of course.

344
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,840
Let's all work together.

345
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,640
Luke wants us to quantify the maximum
advance period and company reputation

346
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,320
into a grading scheme.

347
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,840
That will expedite
the subsequent operation.

348
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,920
Our Business Division has changed
four supplier systems within three years.

349
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:03,880
In the end, they become scrap paper.

350
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,600
The major suppliers in the market
are not lacking in work,

351
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,280
and the Yueteng project
is on a tight deadline.

352
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,880
Instead of cutting down
the turnaround time,

353
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,800
we have to come up
with a supplier database.

354
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,160
Foolish.

355
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,560
If you want to be foolhardy, be my guest.

356
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,120
I have work to do.
Go to Li Tianran if you need help.

357
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,840
Flora, perhaps you can get clearance
from IT first?

358
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,600
Do you have access to confidential data?

359
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,520
I was too reckless
in the meeting just now.

360
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,040
I was too focused
on bringing you on board.

361
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,720
This task is tough.

362
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,160
I have already experienced it firsthand.

363
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,800
But I agree with Luke.

364
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,760
The market needs fairness and a system.

365
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,120
I'm familiar with analytics.
I can make the supplier database.

366
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,480
I see you've learned
a lot as the Excel sheet girl.

367
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:15,520
I bet your knowledge of Excel sheets
is among the top five in our company.

368
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,560
And the top four
are those geniuses in business analysis.

369
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,760
I just think knowing it
makes me more efficient.

370
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:24,960
And you are right.

371
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:28,680
You know what?

372
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,040
I'll compile the data on suppliers.

373
00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:32,920
I'm not afraid of anything.

374
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,080
If they don't cooperate,
I'll spit on them.

375
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,160
And you…

376
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,280
Go to Luke and ask what he truly wants.

377
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:42,440
I…

378
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:43,680
Me?

379
00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:45,920
What's there to be afraid of?

380
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,240
You're working for him.

381
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,960
What is he going to do? Eat you?

382
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,240
He's very serious when it comes to work.
He won't make things difficult for you.

383
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:54,320
Okay?

384
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:07,320
Come in.

385
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,120
Luke.

386
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,080
Are you busy?

387
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:15,280
Yes.

388
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:16,840
Busy avoiding rumors.

389
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,360
I need to ask you something.

390
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:25,880
Don't close the door.

391
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:38,160
Speak.

392
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,040
You mentioned making
a supplier database today.

393
00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:42,680
What is the aim of this exercise?

394
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,960
To build an internal
grading scheme for good suppliers.

395
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,720
Engagement and termination
of suppliers need a system.

396
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,400
Just like when you were studying.

397
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,240
There's a passing grade.
There's a grade for resitting.

398
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,960
When you fall below a certain grade,
you will be expelled.

399
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,880
We cannot be leashed by suppliers.

400
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:01,280
Our clients all need major suppliers.

401
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,920
If the major suppliers
do not work with us for the evaluation,

402
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,160
we'll make one.

403
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,200
I don't quite follow.

404
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,520
Identify suppliers with good potential

405
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,480
and tell them that I can help them
expand their business

406
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:15,800
by acquiring smaller companies.

407
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,600
Once the Yueteng project concludes,

408
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,000
they will naturally be the top supplier.

409
00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:22,360
I see.

410
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,480
The market needs fairness.
Big companies need checks and balances.

411
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,080
Small companies need opportunities.

412
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,160
It is a monumental task.

413
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,360
If you join us, you won't be able
to join other projects for a while,

414
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:38,800
and you'll cross a lot of people.

415
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:40,760
-You can choose to--
-Worry not.

416
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:42,760
It will be done.

417
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:45,440
Okay.

418
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,640
Come to me if you have any questions.

419
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,680
I would like to apply
for clearance from IT.

420
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,360
I do not have access to confidential data.

421
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:57,800
Submit the application,
and I'll approve it.

422
00:28:58,840 --> 00:28:59,960
Thanks, Luke.

423
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:01,920
Flora.

424
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,480
You're bolder than I imagined.

425
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:09,600
And smarter too.

426
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:15,400
I will continue to work hard.

427
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,960
You can have this. Thank you, Luke.

Tao. What happened to your foot?

438
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:15,840
I'm such a rookie
when it comes to on-the-ground surveys.

439
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,640
My high heels gave me blisters.

440
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,480
-I'm fine.
-Why didn't you wear sneakers?

441
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,120
Tell them you work at Lime.
You look good in anything.

442
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:25,040
I'll be more mindful next time.

443
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,080
How did the survey go?

444
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,960
I went to many places today.
Less than half got the passing grade.

445
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:33,880
He truly made the right call.

446
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:36,560
At this point, just go back and rest.

447
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,160
I'll go back later.

448
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,800
I have a senior, and I got the supplier
grading scheme header from her company.

449
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,280
I'll sort and organize it later.

450
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,120
It's good to work hard,
but don't overwork yourself.

451
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:48,960
Go home early.

I didn't wear comfortable shoes today.

464

You didn't wear something comfortable
to conduct surveys?

465
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:25,639
I'll be mindful next time.

466
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,800
-How is the list going?
-Still compiling it.

467
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,679
Go to HR tomorrow
and apply for overtime pay.

468
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:36,719
Submit it online,
and put me down as the approver.

469
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,600
I can get overtime pay?

470
00:34:40,199 --> 00:34:41,080
Is that a surprise?

471
00:34:42,159 --> 00:34:43,440
What is the rate?

472
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,239
Per second.

473
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:50,400
You actually believed me?

474
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:52,920
Yeah.

475
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,520
Oh, Luke. I have a question.

476
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,680
How come no one
has made this database before?

477
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,480
Can I offset the tuition fee
with your overtime pay?

478
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,240
I'll ask you again tomorrow.

479
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,240
The fiercer the competition is,
the more profitable it is.

480
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,400
The first one always gets
the biggest slice of the cake,

481
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:16,600
while the rest get crumbs.

482
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,200
A strict yardstick is mandatory
for future systematic management.

483
00:35:23,240 --> 00:35:24,320

<i>It's going to rain tonight.</i>

-No need.

00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,640
Thank you, Luke. I've troubled you again.

490
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:25,720
I'll walk you up.

491
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:31,600

You're here.

495
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:45,840
Didn't I tell you no need to pick me up?

496
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,840
But the road conditions
might be bad when it rains.

497
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,120
I'm coming over.

498
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:53,920

499
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,760
-You'll catch a cold.
-Okay.

500
00:37:57,240 --> 00:37:59,080
Thanks, Luke. We'll be going now.

501
00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:00,880
Come.

502
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:02,680
What's with your foot?

503
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,720
-The new shoes hurt my feet.
-Does it hurt?

504
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:07,160
Careful.

505
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,560
Can't you control the feeling of love?

506
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,000
The feeling of love…

507
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:44,040
can be controlled.

508
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:57,640
Hello?

509
00:38:57,720 --> 00:38:58,560
<i>Son.</i>

510
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,920
<i>Ms. Liu has arranged</i>
<i>for you to meet that girl.</i>

511
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,920
<i>Does Friday night work for you?</i>

512
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,360
Tell Ms. Liu there's no need
to arrange the meeting.

513
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:06,880
What?

514
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,840
Didn't you just say you would meet her?

515
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:12,760
What happened?

516
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,640
What I said just now was just
for the moment. Now it's different.

517
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:19,160
You…

518
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,720
You know I never like
to meddle in your private life.

519
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,040
<i>The reason we arranged</i>
<i>this blind date for you</i>

520
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,440
<i>is that it's hard to refuse such</i>
<i>a kind offer from friends and relatives.</i>

521
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,160
Ms. Liu doesn't know
that you have a bad temper

522
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:36,160
and a weird personality.

523
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,480
<i>She loves your pretty face, that's all.</i>

524
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,840
<i>Anyway, it's okay</i>
<i>if you don't want to meet her.</i>

525
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,200
<i>That will tell her</i>

526
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,520
how intolerable you are.

527
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:48,600
<i>Even if you date her,</i>

528
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,400
<i>I'm sure she can't put up</i>
<i>with you for more than a few days.</i>

529
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,680
<i>Let's not waste her favor</i>
<i>and hurt the girl.</i>

530
00:40:26,240 --> 00:40:27,160
What's so funny?

531
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,080
-I have a question.
-Go ahead.

532
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,120
Am I intolerable?

533
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:36,440
What do you think?

534
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,600
Other than your mom or your few friends,
who can tolerate your antics?

535
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,840
I thought you didn't want love.

536
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,440
Look at you.

537
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:49,720
Did you confess
to someone and get rejected?

538
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,600
Girls nowadays don't care
about casual flings.

539
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:54,240
They want to be independent.

540
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,200
They want a career, not a relationship.

541
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:01,840
I beg to differ.

542
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,960
I think Ms. Shang is quite special to you.

543
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,280
She broke the window with her bare hands
to save you on that stormy night.

544
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:10,800
Has she ever asked for any compensation?

545
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,840
She fixed your typewriter.
Isn't that genuine kindness?

546
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,240
Everyone wants romantic love.
Unless they are an idiot.

547
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:21,320
What she doesn't like is the way you think
money can solve everything.

548
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:22,600
That's not a good attitude.

549
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,120
We express ourselves differently.

550
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:30,520
Besides, wasn't it your idea
to buy her a gift?

551
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,760
I told you to water a plant,
not drown it with hot water.

552
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:43,640
I told you to buy her a gift
to show some gratitude.

553
00:41:43,720 --> 00:41:45,600
You made it look like
you were compensating for her loss.

554
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,400
You might as well treat her to <i>malatang</i>.

555
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,840
You are a typical case
of wanting something but being scared.

556
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:54,160
You don't want her to cling to you,

557
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:56,000
yet you are afraid
that she doesn't care about you.

558
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:57,400
Mr. Luan,

559
00:41:58,480 --> 00:41:59,640
you have lost it.

560
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,200
SUN YUANZHU

561
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:23,400
Hi, hello?

562
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:24,640
<i>It's going to rain tonight.</i>

563
00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:26,840
-<i>I'll pick you up.</i>
-No need.

564
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,040
I'm on my way home.

565
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:31,640
-Bye.
-<i>Bye.</i>

566
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,600
DR. LIANG

567
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:47,360
Mom.

568
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,200
<i>Ms. Liu has arranged</i>
<i>for you to meet that girl.</i>

569
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,640
<i>When are you going to be free?</i>

570
00:42:52,720 --> 00:42:53,960
<i>Listen.</i>

571
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,840
<i>I don't care if you date her or not.</i>
<i>We just have to return the courtesy.</i>

572
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:02,160
<i>Just meet her once</i>
<i>and don't humiliate her.</i>

573
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:04,800
A blind date?

574
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,280
I'm free this week. Just let me know when.

575
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:09,920
<i>Really? Sure.</i>

576
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:10,840
<i>I'll arrange for it then.</i>

577
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:13,080
Bye.

578
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:25,080
Have you been on a blind date?

579
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:26,960
No.

580
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:32,200
I think it's great. You can find
someone of your social standing.

581
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:34,040
It's safer.
