AUTHOR: GU NIANG BIE KU

3
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:40,560
Good.

4
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,160
{\an8}Keep it steady.

5
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:43,880
Not bad.

6
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,160
What are you doing?

7
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,920
Do you just slam on the brakes
and hope you hit the right gear?

8
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,400
Is that how you drive?

9
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,400
Start over.

10
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:07,800
Put it in gear.

11
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,680
- In gear.
- Here.

12
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:11,760
Go on. Signal.

13
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,760
Good. Go.

14
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,200
Forget it. Take a break.

15
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,640
Switch drivers. Your turn.

16
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,720
OK. Shift gears. Go.

17
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,600
Good. Turn left.

18
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,560
Good. Turn left.

19
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,440
Stop! Stop, now!

20
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,400
Did they put the wiper switch
in the wrong place?

21
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,080
Should I apologize
to you two on its behalf?

22
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,640
I… I give up on you two.

23
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,080
Unbelievable.

24
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,200
LOVE IS STOLEN CANDY

25
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,760
Luke's in charge now,
and he's bringing the heat.

26
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,000
That meeting was intense.

27
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,640
Cut it.

28
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,320
The overall budget is too high,
and the return is too low.

29
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,400
Cut it.

30
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:17,720
Cut it. Cut it.

31
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,000
Cut it.

32
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,760
Unless you've thought this through,
my advice

33
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,000
is to cut it.

34
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,240
Every budget got slashed.

35
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:26,400
Not a cent gets spent.

36
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,600
Clear goals, solid action plans,

37
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,320
and every expense fully accounted for.
I learned a lot again.

38
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,600
But I think Luke might have made

39
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,480
a lot of enemies in that meeting.

40
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,000
He's not worried, so why are you?

41
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,600
He doesn't care at all.

42
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,160
He's so brutally direct.

43
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,480
- It's so sexy.
- I'm telling you,

44
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,760
those old fogies
needed to be put in their place.

45
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,640
They spent money like water,

46
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,320
then dragged their feet during audits.

47
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,000
I think I understand why the board
put Luke in charge.

48
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,680
Who else could do it?

49
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,280
Just like you said,
that's this stubborn mule's…

50
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,640
Irresistible charm.

51
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,160
Tell me.

52
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,080
- Have you lost your mind?
- Me?

53
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,200
You must have,
taking on that basketball game.

54
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,399
It's a thankless job.

55
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,040
Actually, I've realized
that to move a project forward,

56
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,680
you need to get everyone
in the internal process on board.

57
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,400
This gives me a chance
to get to know people in every department.

58
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,320
Things are always easier
when people know you.

59
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,480
Not bad, Shang Zhitao.

60
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,800
You've got a strategy.
I underestimated you.

61
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:37,600
I'll do my best.

62
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:40,480
Eat more meat.

63
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,160
Get some vitamins and protein in you.

64
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:46,040
Let's see whether
you're still smiling in a few days.

65
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,120
Tao.

66
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:02,840
Was that Flora?

67
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,120
Why did she run off so fast?

68
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,680
Luke. Tracy.

69
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,320
Maybe she thinks we're terrifying.

70
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,200
Not us.

71
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:13,400
Probably just you.

72
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,720
But Flora really is impressive.

73
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,360
She's diligent and dependable.

74
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:22,880
I like her.

75
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:25,840
Let's go.

76
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:38,880
Oh my.

77
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,280
You didn't have to bring
this yourself, Mr. Luan.

78
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:41,200
Don't mention it.

79
00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:58,000
I know it's hard for your team
to rein in spending,

80
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,080
but I want you to understand
that I'm doing you a favor here.

81
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,440
I've heard.

82
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,040
Headquarters is being especially strict
about budgets this year.

83
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,160
Yes.

84
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,560
Mr. Lin's annual review is still ongoing,

85
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,800
and several of last year's budgets
still haven't been approved.

86
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,080
If they're investigated, the lightest
punishment is a formal warning.

87
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:23,920
Worse, someone could be fired.

88
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,520
And in serious cases,
criminal charges are possible.

89
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,280
You're in charge
of Lime's biggest project next year.

90
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,160
Keep the budget under control,
and no one can pin anything on you.

91
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,640
I knew you weren't trying
to put me in my place.

92
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,640
I should thank you
for playing bad cop for me.

93
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,400
After all these years,

94
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:50,560
we know each other well.

95
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,200
After all, we've both
done plenty of scheming

96
00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:55,760
behind each other's backs.

97
00:06:58,280 --> 00:06:59,560
Neither of us would back down.

98
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,480
That was…

99
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,320
my fault.

100
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,240
I like trying to be clever.

101
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,080
What was I thinking,
trying to outsmart you?

102
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,040
All right. From now on,
you've got my full cooperation.

103
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,000
Then let's put the past behind us.

104
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:20,840
Agreed.

105
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:23,640
But there's one small thing.

106
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,120
Do we really have to hold
that basketball game?

107
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,000
There's barely any budget.

108
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,640
If we win, we offend the client.

109
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,720
If we lose, Lime loses face.

110
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:33,960
A game is a game.

111
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,160
Winning and losing are part of it.

112
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,600
Giving it your all
is the best way to respect a friend.

113
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:41,920
That's why you're the boss.

114
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:44,520
You always see the big picture.

115
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,200
A basketball game for 60 people
on a 5,000-yuan budget?

116
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:54,400
Did today's meeting mean nothing to you?

117
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,440
What did I say?

118
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,080
If you haven't thought it through, cut it.

119
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,560
Keep the budget tight.

120
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,360
This game doesn't count
toward our workload or our team's KPI.

121
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,640
I carved that 5,000 yuan
out of my own budget for you.

122
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:12,160
Just do what you can.

123
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,360
Whatever you manage is fine.

124
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,240
Dinner's ready.

125
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,200
Tao.

126
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,240
To celebrate Tao's promotion,

127
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,200
we're having something special tonight.

128
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,400
Thanks, Zhu. I still have some work to do.
You guys eat first.

129
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,000
No rush. We'll wait.

130
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,240
I'll check and get back to you.

131
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,120
Dongxiang lamb, simply boiled.

132
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,760
It smells amazing.

133
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,480
The lamb practically melts in your mouth.

134
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:42,919
- My mom sent it.
- Give your mom my regards.

135
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,200
Tao.

136
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,000
Come eat.

137
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,840
Hello. How much would it cost
to rent your venue?

138
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,680
That much? All right.

139
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,040
Did she get on her boss's bad side?

140
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,600
- Why is she doing grunt work?
- Hello.

141
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:01,960
I was wondering
if you could offer us a better rate.

142
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,120
All right.

143
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:05,640
Thank you.

144
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,560
Tao. Come eat first, before it gets cold.

145
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:13,160
Come on.

146
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,080
Our poor girl's worn out.

147
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:26,840
Have some meat first.

148
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,600
Build your strength back up.

149
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:29,840
Eat first.

150
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,400
Have some water spinach.

151
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,760
It might help you work things out.

152
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,760
I'm not hungry.

153
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,640
Why am I under so much more pressure
after getting promoted?

154
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,280
They only gave me a 5,000-yuan budget.

155
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,640
I need to rent a venue, buy jerseys,
and prepare gifts.

156
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,960
That's not even counting transportation,

157
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,720
energy bars, and bottled water.

158
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,040
Your boss has gone too far.

159
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,960
As a seasoned event planner
who does this every day,

160
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,120
I can tell you with complete confidence

161
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,160
that with the budget your boss gave you,

162
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,640
you'd be better off holding up a sign
and begging on the street.

163
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,880
You might even meet a couple of kind souls
who'll toss you a few coins.

164
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,240
That's it!

165
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,360
Why didn't I think of that?

166
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,360
Are you really going begging?

167
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,840
In advertising, we call begging
securing sponsorships.

168
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,080
Mr. Liu, this is Flora from Lime.

169
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,560
I'm calling because Yueteng and Lime

170
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,760
are planning a friendly basketball game,

171
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,840
and we'd like
some of our top suppliers to join us.

172
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,520
I remember your venue
has an indoor basketball court, right?

173
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,320
No… We couldn't possibly.

174
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,800
Our Ms. Shang is really going places.

175
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:08,200
Good for her.

176
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:09,840
If I had someone
like Shang Zhitao on my team,

177
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,040
I'd be smiling in my sleep.

178
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,520
She's always been amazing.

179
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:28,560
Come in.

180
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,080
Boss,

181
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,760
could you spare
some of your valuable time this afternoon

182
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,560
to grace the basketball game
with your presence?

183
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,000
I never attend events like that.

184
00:11:43,560 --> 00:11:47,800
Then may I take the afternoon off
to cheer on our athletes?

185
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,440
What help would you be?

186
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,840
You're just looking for an excuse
to skip work.

187
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,480
Shang Zhitao is my prized mentee.

188
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:03,600
I should at least be there to support her.

189
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,600
She's really come into her own.

190
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:10,600
She organized the whole basketball game
without spending a cent.

191
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:13,520
From jerseys and the venue
to food, drinks, and everything else,

192
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,280
she found sponsors for it all.

193
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,600
She's put together quite an event.

194
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:19,400
Where did she find the sponsors?

195
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,480
She offered suppliers priority
consideration for the next three years

196
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:25,840
and got them competing
for sponsorship slots.

197
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,280
Pretty clever, isn't she?

198
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,040
Not bad.

199
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:32,560
In that case,

200
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:37,000
use this opportunity to see firsthand
how cooperative our suppliers are.

201
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,120
So I am going there for work.

202
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:41,760
Give me a break.

203
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,880
Go before I change my mind.

204
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:45,800
You got it.

205
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,320
Lumi.

206
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:48,720
Nice new hairstyle.

207
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:51,520
I know.

208
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:52,920
Looking sharp yourself.

209
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,560
YUETENG

210
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,520
Jack, how's everything?

211
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,280
The jerseys have arrived. Take a look.

212
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,000
OK. Thanks for your hard work.

213
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:09,920
No problem.

214
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,600
- These look good.
- They do.

215
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:15,000
- And here's another one.
- Great.

216
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,400
- Shang Zhitao.
- Lumi.

217
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:20,760
Not bad.

218
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,200
You've got everything
running like clockwork.

219
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:25,200
You've finally put your knack

220
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,240
for playing capitalists at their own game
to good use.

221
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:29,880
I learned from the best.

222
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,160
You taught me that working hard alone
gets you nowhere at Lime.

223
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,600
Flatterer.

224
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:35,320
I couldn't have pulled this off.

225
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,760
Even those penny-pinchers in Finance

226
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,240
praised how well
you controlled the budget.

227
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,000
Check out the fabric. What do you think?

228
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,000
It's pretty good, right?

229
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,080
The players will look great in these.

230
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,720
A little something for you.

231
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:53,720
With your new promotion,

232
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,520
you'll want to make a splash
inside and outside the company.

233
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:03,720
I appreciate the gesture,
but I make it a rule not to accept gifts.

234
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,640
Mr. Luan, here's the thing.

235
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,000
I know Lime created
a new supplier database for our project.

236
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,600
I know several reliable suppliers
I've worked with for years.

237
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,400
They're much easier to work with.

238
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,840
Could you add them to the database?

239
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,760
We'd be happy to consider them.
Send me their information.

240
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,600
As long as they meet
our supplier database criteria

241
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,600
and pass the compliance review,
they can be added.

242
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,640
But if they don't qualify,
no one gets special treatment.

243
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:44,120
That's why I've come
to discuss it with you, Mr. Luan.

244
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:45,720
Make an exception.

245
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:46,840
It's no big deal.

246
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,720
Mr. Wan, Lime has
a very strict evaluation system.

247
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,240
Companies admitted
to our supplier database

248
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,200
must not only be easy to work with

249
00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:59,360
but also highly professional.

250
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,280
We place great importance
on our future collaboration with Yueteng.

251
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,560
We established this supplier system
precisely to avoid the mistakes

252
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,240
that Chengbiao made
when working with Yueteng.

253
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,920
So you see, if I make an exception,

254
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,080
how can I expect others
to follow the rules?

255
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,280
I didn't expect you
to be such a man of principle.

256
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,080
You can still keep the gift.

257
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:24,920
I truly appreciate it.

258
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:27,240
We'll have opportunities in the future.

259
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,480
All right. We'll discuss it another time.

260
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:31,760
I'll be going, then.

261
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:37,440
I'll see you out.

262
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:54,800
LU MI

263
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,600
<i>Luke, we won.</i>

264
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,080
<i>Lime won!</i>

265
00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:59,240
<i>There's a celebration tonight.</i>

266
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,640
- Come make an appearance.
- <i>I'm not going.</i>

267
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,720
I know you're worried everyone
won't be comfortable around you,

268
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,000
<i>but everyone's in high spirits.</i>

269
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,200
<i>At the celebration,</i>
<i>all our colleagues will be there,</i>

270
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:10,840
along with Yueteng's executives.

271
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,800
<i>Just stop by and show your face.</i>

272
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,160
I already met Wan Jun today.
I'm not going.

273
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,520
That doesn't mean
you can't come celebrate with everyone.

274
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,520
If he brings up the suppliers
at the banquet,

275
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:23,560
don't discuss it privately.

276
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:24,960
<i>Report it to me immediately.</i>

277
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,640
I know what to do.

278
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,160
But we're celebrating tonight.

279
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,000
<i>We'll just drink. No work talk.</i>

280
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,680
Anyway, whatever he says to you,
report it to me right away.

281
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,400
Fine. I'll tell Flora too.

282
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,760
<i>I just saw Wan Jun asking her</i>
<i>about the supplier database criteria.</i>

283
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,880
- She's there too?
- Of course.

284
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,120
She organized the event

285
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,920
- and deserves most of the credit.
- Sure.

286
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,320
- Our athletes
- We should work together sometime.

287
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,240
- even gave her their medals.
- Thank you.

288
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,360
<i>Mr. Wan praised her too,</i>
<i>saying she did a great job.</i>

289
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:53,280
Bye.

290
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,360
Looks like everyone in
the Business Division is an all-rounder.

291
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,120
- Not really.
- Exactly.

292
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,200
Organizing an event this big
is no easy feat.

293
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:04,640
I'm John from the Commerce Division.

294
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,079
Next time you need sponsors, come to me.

295
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,160
Nice to meet you.

296
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,160
- Bottoms up.
- All right.

297
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,280
Bottoms up for what?

298
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:11,599
Don't you dare pressure her to drink.

299
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,760
Flora is our division's pride and joy.

300
00:17:13,839 --> 00:17:15,720
Anyone who pressures her answers to me.

301
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:16,640
Drink with me first.

302
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:17,920
- All right.
- Got it.

303
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Let's drink together.

304
00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:19,920
Cheers.

305
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:22,240
We'll get going.

306
00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:23,359
Take it easy on the drinks.

307
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,960
No wonder you keep drinking
without getting drunk.

308
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,800
You've learned a little trick.

309
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,800
I'm just putting
what I learned into practice.

310
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,560
Clever girl.

311
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,720
You did a great job.

312
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,840
Now all those aloof Lime employees
know who you are.

313
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:43,760
It was nothing.

314
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,440
- I'm doomed.
- Why?

315
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,760
Luan Nian isn't coming.
I'll never live this down.

316
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:53,600
Luan Nian was supposed to come?

317
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:54,960
He's not coming.

318
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,360
During the basketball game this afternoon,

319
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,440
I promised the girls in the Media Division

320
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,400
I'd bring Luan Nian
to tonight's celebration.

321
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,400
I've spent the whole afternoon

322
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,240
answering questions about him.

323
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,120
What… What gossip is there about him?

324
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,560
His love life.

325
00:18:17,120 --> 00:18:19,920
He's handsome, rich,
single, and successful.

326
00:18:22,120 --> 00:18:24,200
Of course the girls are interested.

327
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:30,720
I already promised them
I'd find out about his love life.

328
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,040
If I do, they'll prioritize

329
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:36,880
all our proposals for the next six months.

330
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,800
Aren't you trading
your boss's privacy for favors?

331
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,200
Don't be ridiculous.

332
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,440
This is work.

333
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,160
And who am I doing it for?

334
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:55,160
I just don't understand
what there is to ask.

335
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,640
Luan Nian is so cold.

336
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,800
Why is everyone so interested in him?

337
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,760
Tao, why don't you ask him to come?

338
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,640
You seem to know how to handle him.

339
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,040
Me?

340
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:17,440
No. I can't.

341
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:18,800
There's no way.

342
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,800
Don't be modest.

343
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,160
Luan Nian is difficult,

344
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,520
but I always feel
you can get through to him.

345
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,280
I've put my reputation on the line.

346
00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:30,640
- Help me out. I'm your mentor, after all.
- I really can't.

347
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:46,920
He's here.

348
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,960
Next week's Yueteng proposal
depends on tonight.

349
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:57,920
Hello, Mr. Luan.

350
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,920
Mr. Luan.

351
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,320
Mr. Luan.

352
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,880
No need to be so formal. Relax.

353
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:05,400
Have fun.

354
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:06,640
Boss,

355
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,040
your presence really lights up the place.

356
00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:11,520
I've never seen you this enthusiastic
when entertaining clients.

357
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,000
We're all having a drink and unwinding.

358
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,920
Why don't you have one too and loosen up?

359
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:18,840
I'm perfectly relaxed.

360
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:20,520
You go ahead and relax.

361
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,080
- Tao.
- Yes?

362
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:24,360
Fill Mr. Luan's glass.

363
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,040
Mr. Luan.

364
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:32,920
Welcome.

365
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,200
Tao. You're the star
of tonight's celebration dinner

366
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,200
and the one who made it all happen.

367
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,720
Let's toast Mr. Luan together.

368
00:20:42,360 --> 00:20:43,680
Cheers, Mr. Luan.

369
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,120
Sorry.

370
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,480
I'm driving, so I can't drink.

371
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:52,760
You're driving? No problem.

372
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,280
Come on, Tao. Let's drink.

373
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,200
You did great.

374
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,800
Well, I'll let you guys talk.

375
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:43,960
Tao.

376
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,160
Mr. Wan.

377
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:49,560
Here's the thing.

378
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,880
I know some excellent suppliers.

379
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,120
They're highly capable and very reliable.

380
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,280
So,

381
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:58,680
I was hoping

382
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:01,240
you could give me a hint.

383
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,880
What will it take for Mr. Luan

384
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,280
to make it happen?

385
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,920
Mr. Wan, I think you've misunderstood.

386
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,800
Mr. Luan created this supplier system

387
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,280
so that every contract
can withstand public scrutiny.

388
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:21,720
Excuse me.

389
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:23,560
I need to use the restroom.

390
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:24,520
Excuse me.

391
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,040
Have you been avoiding me?

392
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,000
No.

393
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:06,520
"Tao"?

394
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,360
Only third-rate salespeople
use alcohol to win clients.

395
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,760
The sponsors helped us a lot this time,

396
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,320
and my colleagues have been working
nonstop for over ten days.

397
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:23,280
Having a drink together afterward
is just part of normal socializing.

398
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:25,920
Is drinking part of workplace socializing?
Who taught you that?

399
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,240
You did.

400
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,600
You said if I can't handle alcohol,
I shouldn't drink at all.

401
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,320
I wanted to try a little.

402
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,040
Doesn't that count as progress?

403
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,840
You also taught me
not to forget who helped me.

404
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,840
So, of course, I'm grateful
to my clients and colleagues.

405
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,240
I learned from the best.

406
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,320
I supported your work too.

407
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:49,240
How come you've never
shown me any gratitude?

408
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,280
I have.

409
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,640
Here. A medal. I got it today.

410
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:19,640
I don't want it.

411
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:33,720
Keep it.

412
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,520
Let it remind you
not to keep running away.

413
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:01,600
Running away keeps me safe.

414
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:03,720
I'm not like you.

415
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:05,680
I have to think ahead.

416
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,920
Do accidents fit into your plans too?

417
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,360
Was what happened on the mountain
planned too?

418
00:25:18,120 --> 00:25:18,960
No.

419
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:24,920
Shang Zhitao, you're pretty heartless.

420
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,440
You like me, but you keep holding back.

421
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:28,560
Isn't that exhausting?

422
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,440
Mr. Luan, I can't lose my job.

423
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,000
The company doesn't allow office romances.

424
00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:53,120
If that bothers you,

425
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,480
we can keep our relationship private.

426
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,000
- Come on.
- Cheers.

427
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:07,920
- Let's drink.
- Cheers.

428
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,080
Cheers.

429
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,160
Cheers!

430
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,840
Boss, we're celebrating tonight.

431
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,960
On behalf of Lime's female colleagues,

432
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:19,920
I have a dangerous question for you.

433
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,960
For an eligible bachelor like you,

434
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,160
are you permanently off the market

435
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,440
or just not taking reservations right now?

436
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:32,360
Answer me!

437
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,320
Is this what you all spend your time on?

438
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:36,720
We're celebrating tonight.

439
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,600
You can't talk shop at the dinner table.

440
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,200
- Right?
- Exactly.

441
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:41,240
- Right?
- Yes.

442
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:42,320
Exactly.

443
00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:46,480
I think we should discuss
next week's proposal

444
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,240
and whether you can submit it early.

445
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,600
Please, don't. We're celebrating tonight.

446
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,600
No KPI talk.

447
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:53,680
Right, Tao?

448
00:26:58,960 --> 00:26:59,840
Yes.

449
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,920
Luke, they want to ask you…

450
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,360
Go on.

451
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,520
They want

452
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,000
to know whether you have a girlfriend.

453
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:22,920
Good job.

454
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:24,280
Answer.

455
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,960
The only things I want to discuss
with you are work and plans.

456
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,640
Whether I have a girlfriend
is none of your business.

457
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,120
We don't accept that answer.

458
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,320
- Just tell us.
- Tell us.

459
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,320
- Tell us.
- Come on.

460
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:44,040
Tell us.

461
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:46,160
You really want to know?

462
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,680
- Of course. Tell us.
- Of course.

463
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,000
- Who is she?
- Tell us.

464
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:03,760
Actually, I've been divorced twice.

465
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,280
I work so hard

466
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,240
because I have two children to support.

467
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,120
Come on. Everyone over there,
raise your glasses!

468
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:18,160
Come on!

469
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,080
We're celebrating tonight. Cheers!

470
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,840
- That's nice.
- Cheers!

471
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,680
- How many children do you have?
- Two.

472
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:26,880
Two? You have two as well?

473
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:27,920
A third one's on the way.

474
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,960
- Are you getting a cab too?
- Yes.

475
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,880
- Then let's share one.
- Sure.

476
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,760
- Let's go together.
- OK.

477
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:45,800
I'll drive you.

478
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,320
No need. I'm going over there.

479
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:52,440
You've been drinking.

480
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,600
- I'll drive you.
- Boss.

481
00:28:58,520 --> 00:28:59,960
You're still here.

482
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,440
Perfect. I need your help.

483
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:03,640
I'm not your boss after work.

484
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,360
Didn't you already leave in a cab?

485
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,720
The driver canceled on me
and won't answer my calls.

486
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:10,000
You drove here, right?

487
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:11,160
Could you give me a ride?

488
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:12,440
Tao's had too much to drink, too.

489
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:13,880
Give us both a ride.

490
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,600
It's on your way. Come on.

491
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,160
You're the best.

492
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:34,760
Lumi. Address.

493
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,520
Boss, drop Flora off first
before driving me home.

494
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,640
By order of priority,
your place comes first.

495
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:44,920
No. Drive her home first.

496
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,800
Her place is on your way. Mine isn't.

497
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,680
Drop me off first, then. Thanks, Luke.

498
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,640
What cologne was Wan Jun wearing?

499
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,040
It was suffocating me.

500
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,960
Tao, why didn't he offer you a ride?

501
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,640
He spent the whole night
trying to impress you.

502
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,480
I… I was just maintaining
a client relationship.

503
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,520
We briefly discussed
some advertising ideas.

504
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:16,840
Then you should've reminded him

505
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,720
that under Clause 17 of Lime's contract,

506
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,760
unauthorized personnel may not
discuss possible changes to a proposal,

507
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:23,920
especially not after drinking.

508
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,040
We only discussed public information.

509
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,600
Boss, are you flying a plane?

510
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,120
Keep this up,
and I'll throw up in your car.

511
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,440
Then I'll pull over up ahead.
You can get a cab.

512
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:37,960
No, don't.

513
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,480
Tomorrow, forward to Legal

514
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,480
all records of informal communication
with their company.

515
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,440
Remember to email them a warning.

516
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:48,840
Isn't that a bit much?

517
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,480
WELCOME HOME

518
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,640
{\an8}FRIENDLY BASKETBALL GAME

519
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:20,760
If that bothers you,

520
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,040
we can keep our relationship private.

521
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,640
What do you mean
by a private relationship?

522
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,600
Dating is too much trouble.

523
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,320
And I can't be bothered
to maintain a romantic relationship.

524
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,560
If you're willing,
we can keep this between us.

525
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,880
If it works, we continue.

526
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,200
If it doesn't, we end it.

527
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,000
If either of us wants to date

528
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,240
or sleep with someone else,

529
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:51,880
we tell the other person honestly

530
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,280
and end what we have.

531
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:05,080
OK.

532
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,240
But we have to be exclusive.

533
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,600
I'm exhausted.

534
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,280
I thought once Luke got promoted,
I'd get a break,

535
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,560
bBut this supplier shake-up
has me making calls all day.

536
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,360
What am I, a propeller?

537
00:32:58,440 --> 00:32:59,920
Is there anything I can help with?

538
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,320
Not really.

539
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,080
It's because these old suppliers
keep making snide remarks,

540
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:05,200
and it's getting on my nerves.

541
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:06,760
Don't let it get to you.

542
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:08,360
I'm having a little get-together tonight.

543
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:09,720
A girls' night.

544
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:10,880
Want to come?

545
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,480
We'll have a few drinks and have some fun.

546
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:14,480
Oh, right.

547
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,320
The system says today's your birthday.

548
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,480
Happy birthday, Tao.

549
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:21,840
What do you want for your birthday?

550
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:24,520
I want…

551
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,400
How about I set you up with someone?

552
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,240
He's a childhood friend of mine,
three years older than you.

553
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,880
His family owns a small restaurant,
he owns three apartments,

554
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:34,920
and he's really good-looking.

555
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:35,840
Think about it.

556
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,640
If you two start dating,
you and I can hang out all the time.

557
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:39,560
What do you say?

558
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,720
I'm not looking for a boyfriend right now.

559
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,280
Then just have dinner with him

560
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,360
and get to know him, OK?

561
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:51,760
Hello?

562
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,400
Mr. Wan.

563
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:58,440
Come in.

564
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,480
Boss, you really saw it coming.

565
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,280
One of Wan Jun's
recommended suppliers contacted me.

566
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,199
A "premium supplier"
offering a 3% monthly kickback.

567
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:10,880
What did you say?

568
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:12,639
If they want to make money
by doing good work,

569
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:13,920
they can earn it honestly,

570
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:15,880
but don't try anything under the table.

571
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:16,960
What a joke.

572
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:17,880
Why come to me?

573
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,280
Do I look like I need the money?

574
00:34:21,679 --> 00:34:23,199
How are the revisions
to the Yueteng proposal coming along?

575
00:34:24,639 --> 00:34:25,560
Isn't it due next week?

576
00:34:26,159 --> 00:34:28,360
I want it tonight.
Next week will be too late.

577
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:31,760
Boss,

578
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,000
I know a new broom sweeps clean,

579
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,760
but could you sweep a little faster?

580
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,199
If you ruin my habit
of never working overtime,

581
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:40,920
I really can't last here.

582
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,760
When promotion season comes,

583
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,360
with a raise, a new car, and a new bag,

584
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:46,719
you'll find a way to keep going.

585
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,960
Fine. I'll finish it tonight.

586
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:53,280
What about Flora?

587
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:54,679
She can help you.

588
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,440
You have to let Flora
leave on time tonight.

589
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,600
- Why?
- It's her birthday.

590
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:02,600
Her birthday?

591
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:03,840
We're having a girls' karaoke night.

592
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,160
We want to have a few drinks together.

593
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,040
I'll get back to the proposal.

594
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:08,840
I can still make it in time
to cut the cake with her.

595
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,120
{\an8}PURE K

596
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,400
I'm here, girls!

597
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:26,760
Happy Birthday!

598
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,000
- Come on.
- Thank you!

599
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:29,280
Let's put on "Happy Birthday".

600
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:30,840
- I'm on it.
- Thank you!

601
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,040
A birthday cake!

602
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:35,960
Come on.

603
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,840
<i>Happy birthday to you</i>

604
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,360
<i>Happy birthday to you</i>

605
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,480
<i>Happy Birthday, Tao.</i>

606
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:48,960
Happy Birthday!

607
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,720
Birthday girl, say a few words.

608
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,200
- Come on, say something.
- All right.

609
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:59,000
This is my first birthday in Beijing.

610
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:00,760
Thank you all for coming.

611
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,400
I'll have many more birthdays,

612
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,000
and I hope you'll be there for every one.

613
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:08,080
- We will.
- That's all.

614
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:09,200
I love you all.

615
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:10,920
We love you too.

616
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,360
- Come on.
- Cut the cake.

617
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:16,920
- Hurry.
- Cut the cake.

618
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:19,360
- Time for some cake!
- Come on.

619
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,000
It's beautiful.

620
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,000
Cheers!

621
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,280
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHANG ZHITAO
FOREVER EIGHTEEN AT HEART

622
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,080
Here comes the good stuff.

623
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:50,600
Try it.

624
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,720
I've seen people polish walnuts,
but never a phone.

625
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:57,920
Keep that up, and it'll develop a patina.

626
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:00,360
Is it really that hard to call?

627
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,760
Is Ms. Shang's number too hot to handle?

628
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,000
It's her birthday today.

629
00:37:09,240 --> 00:37:10,600
I see. She didn't invite you,

630
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:12,520
so you came here to drown your sorrows.

631
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,040
SHANG ZHITAO

632
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,160
CAN YOU FINISH THE PROPOSAL TODAY?

633
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:33,840
That's it?

634
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:39,600
Luke,

635
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,680
I really want to whack you
with a rolling pin from the kitchen.

636
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:45,640
What are you thinking?

637
00:37:45,720 --> 00:37:47,840
Why is it so hard for you
to say something nice?

638
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:51,920
Ms. Shang likes you,

639
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,000
and I can tell you care about her, too.

640
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,680
You two stop waiting for the other person
to make the first move.

641
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,320
I know she didn't invite you
to her birthday party,

642
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,440
but you still could've wished her
a happy birthday.

643
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:05,120
Look at what you sent.

644
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,760
Even a bank's birthday greeting
would sound warmer than that.

645
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:26,480
Tao,

646
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,440
- I need to leave early.
- Why?

647
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:32,280
My landlord's taking back
the apartment tomorrow.

648
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,000
I need to go back and pack.

649
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:35,480
You're going to Hong Kong, China?

650
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:36,720
Yes. I leave tomorrow.

651
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,280
Tomorrow?

652
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,720
My time in Beijing ends today.

653
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,880
I haven't even had a proper talk
with you tonight.

654
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:51,000
I'll miss you.

655
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,200
Hey, it's okay.

656
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,440
Friends don't have to be nearby.

657
00:38:58,280 --> 00:38:59,120
Tao,

658
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,560
you'll definitely make something
of yourself in Beijing.

659
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:08,440
Unlike you, I can't choose
between love and my career.

660
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,400
Neither can I. But I understand you.

661
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,680
Falling for someone
can make you feel so helpless and afraid.

662
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:23,680
Love is an adventure.

663
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:25,680
You can't weigh the gains and losses.

664
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,960
It's fine. It'll all pass.

665
00:39:32,720 --> 00:39:33,720
We're all growing.

666
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:43,600
Come on.

667
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,120
Let me take a picture of you.

668
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:47,560
What are you talking about?

669
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:48,840
Love.

670
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,040
We only live for around 30,000 days.

671
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:53,240
If you like someone, tell them.

672
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:54,560
If you miss them, go see them.

673
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,640
As long as we're safe,
and it's what we want,

674
00:39:56,720 --> 00:39:57,800
we have nothing to lose.

675
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:58,720
Exactly.

676
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:03,400
My boss says any marriage
without dating first

677
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:04,680
is downright indecent.

678
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,920
Your boss just wants
everyone in China to sign up…

679
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,840
- Exactly!
- And pay membership fees.

680
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:14,320
- I don't get it.
- Cue up "Auld Lang Syne"!

681
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,080
It's for your boss!

682
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:17,000
OK!

683
00:40:18,720 --> 00:40:21,040
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHANG ZHITAO
FOREVER EIGHTEEN AT HEART

684
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,000
Luke, sorry.

685
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:03,560
I didn't hear my phone ring.

686
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:05,200
<i>Where are you?</i>

687
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:06,960
I'm out with some friends.

688
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:08,480
Have you been drinking?

689
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:15,480
Is today your birthday?

690
00:41:23,720 --> 00:41:26,200
Why do you remember my birthday?

691
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,120
I know. Because as my boss,

692
00:41:31,720 --> 00:41:35,640
you have to remember
every employee's birthday.

693
00:41:35,720 --> 00:41:38,360
It's part of Lime's corporate culture.

694
00:41:39,240 --> 00:41:40,600
Any birthday wishes?

695
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:43,080
<i>Wishes?</i>

696
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,520
Will they come true if I make them?

697
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:48,680
Tell me.

698
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,120
I want…

699
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,120
I want the people I love

700
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,560
to stay in Beijing forever.

701
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,600
And I want…

702
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,520
to hold on to whatever I can.

703
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:14,680
<i>Like my job.</i>

704
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,280
And…

705
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,480
I want to become a better person.

706
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:27,160
That's all?

707
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,120
I want to hold on to you too,

708
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,040
Luan Nian.

709
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,080
Cheers, my friends!

710
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:11,760
Cheers!

711
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:25,000
<i>Hello?</i>

712
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:27,960
Where are you?
