3
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:44,920
Stay. Sit.

4
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:54,840
Your silly master is calling.

5
00:01:58,520 --> 00:01:59,920
-Hello?
-Hello.

6
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,920
Tracy said…

7
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:02,880
What's wrong with your voice?

8
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,160
Getting all emotional?

9
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:07,720
No.

10
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,280
I'm calling to thank you.

11
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:12,920
It was nothing.

12
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,160
How are you going to thank me?

13
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,040
I'll buy you dinner.

14
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,000
When?

15
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:22,680
Tomorrow.

16
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:25,880
What are you up to today?

17
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,520
I promised to help Sun Yu
with her first startup event.

18
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:34,320
Alright.

19
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,560
BUCKET LIST

20
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,040
MY HEART WAITS ONLY FOR YOU

21
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:14,080
Please sign here.

22
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:19,600
Drink this. I'm good.

23
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,440
It's a relief having you here.
I'm swamped inside.

24
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,240
Don't worry. I've got
things covered out here.

25
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,120
I'll leave this to you.

26
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,920
-Go on.
-I'm going.

27
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:29,600
Sign here.

28
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:31,600
-This way.
-Sign here, right?

29
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,480
Yeah. Here. This way.

30
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:34,400
Number 13.

31
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:35,480
Hello, miss.

32
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,840
Mind if I get to know you?

33
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,440
There are lots of great members inside.

34
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,400
You can go in and meet people.

35
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,840
What's your number?

36
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,040
May I get to know you?

37
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:47,880
You can head in first.

38
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,640
There'll be plenty of people
to welcome you.

39
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,440
-Alright.
-Please fill in detals, Sir.

40
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,760
‎Thank you.

41
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:56,960
This way, please.

42
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:58,360
‎Thank you.

43
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,000
-Keep an eye on things for me.
-Okay.

44
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,760
-Give me one of those.
-Alright.

45
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:11,920
Are you here for the matchmaking?

46
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,000
You put on makeup and dressed up nicely.

47
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,640
What are you doing here?

48
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,600
I came to check out the investment project
I recommended,

49
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,600
only to find out it was a dating scam.

50
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,440
Don't put it that way.
It's not a dating scam.

51
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,200
Sun Yu is organizing
a normal singles networking event.

52
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:35,520
Tao Zhi Yao Yao.

53
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,520
Graduated from Penn.
Works for a foreign company.

54
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:40,440
Four hundred thousand a year.

55
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,200
171 centimeters tall. 54 kilograms.

56
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:46,040
Enjoys skiing, diving, and golf.

57
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:48,360
Fluent in three languages.

58
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,320
Luan Nian, the profile
was computer-generated.

59
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,600
You know that.
I can't do any of those sports.

60
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,520
This account has chatted with 45 members.

61
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,400
So when you said
you were busy during weekends,

62
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,840
you were actually here
pretending to date people?

63
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,400
Those accounts are all managed
by the company.

64
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,240
I've never logged into it.

65
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,960
Then that proves this app is a scam.

66
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:15,760
I'm stopping the investment.

67
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,840
I'll notify the investors
and reassess these risks.

68
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:19,960
Don't.

69
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,840
Don't drag Sun Yu into this because of me.

70
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,560
She's still in the startup stage.
It hasn't been easy for her.

71
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,280
Don't stop the investment.

72
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:28,600
Then get another investor,

73
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:30,480
so she can get money sooner

74
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,440
and hire more actors
for these dating scam events.

75
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Don't take me for a fool.

76
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,160
ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT
TO DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT?

77
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,080
DELETE ACCOUNT

78
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,560
Very well. Dating scams are cheap.

79
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,520
Even if you're just a shill,
it's nothing to be proud of.

80
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,000
-My back is killing me.
-Come here, Luke.

81
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,720
I'm exhausted. I'm going to lie down.

82
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:02,760
Luke.

83
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:05,560
You're back.

84
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,680
Why are you home?

85
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:10,960
Smells great.

86
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,320
You started cooking once you got home?

87
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:15,480
You've lost weight again.

88
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:16,880
Did you skip your meals?

89
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:18,760
I didn't.

90
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,920
It's probably because
I've been busy with the experiments.

91
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,080
I have been eating lots of meat.

92
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,680
I brought back some Tan sheep.

93
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,280
We'll grill lamb tonight.

94
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,840
I'll take Luke to eat first.

95
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:31,600
Go on, Luke.

96
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:32,800
-Luke.
-See what you have for dinner.

97
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:35,640
Come here.

98
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,040
What's wrong?

99
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,400
Stop looking at me.

100
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,280
I'll make Yuanzhu some millet porridge.
It's good for his stomach.

101
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,240
You're making him millet porridge?

102
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,560
Putting a man before your friend, huh?

103
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:00,920
Shut up.

104
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,000
You deleted the account.

105
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,280
Is Luan Nian still mad at you?

106
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,000
I don't know. Whatever.

107
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,960
The fact that he cared so much
means he really cares about you.

108
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:20,880
It's on me.

109
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,440
I didn't know
they were using your account.

110
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,000
Otherwise, you two wouldn't have fought.

111
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,320
I've told them to fix it.

112
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,240
I don't want Luan Nian
to misunderstand you.

113
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:33,480
I'd feel terrible about it.

114
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:35,440
Besides, he helped me find investors.

115
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,760
-You two--
-Don't overthink it.

116
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:39,679
Okay?

117
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,159
Don't worry.

118
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,080
I can handle it.

119
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,760
I'm starting to think workplace
relationships are just like romantic ones.

120
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,600
If the other person doesn't trust you,
nothing you say will matter.

121
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,920
Tao, do you see Luan Nian
as your boyfriend

122
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,240
or your boss?

123
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,120
I can't tell anymore.

124
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,440
Maybe

125
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,800
before I can see anyone as an equal,

126
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,360
every relationship has someone above
and someone below.

127
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:28,480
Tao dear, you sound a lot more mature now.

128
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,080
Likewise. Now get back to cooking,

129
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,440
Miss Sun.

130
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:35,880
ONE MONTH LATER

131
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,440
I'll meet up with the client first
in Shenzhen,

132
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:39,800
then let's meet, okay?

133
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,480
No problem.

134
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:44,240
I've taken annual leave.

135
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,440
When you get here, I'll show you around.

136
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:49,920
YAO BEI

137
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,440
You're coming to Shenzhen for work.

138
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,280
Let's meet. Xin Zhaozhou.

139
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,160
Bei, is Xin Zhaozhou in Shenzhen too?

140
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,880
He just texted me.
He said he'd like to see me.

141
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,680
I told him you were coming to Shenzhen
on business.

142
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,520
I heard he received a government grant

143
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,480
and started a trading company there.

144
00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:11,680
He's a big shot now.

145
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,080
Would you like to see him?

146
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,200
Why wouldn't I?

147
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:18,360
It's not like we're enemies.

148
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,080
We parted on good terms.

149
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,320
After all, we shared the best years
of our lives together.

150
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,280
Do you think he's still not over you

151
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:28,520
and trying to get back together?

152
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:31,600
No way.

153
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:33,400
Even if he wanted to, I wouldn't.

154
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:34,800
Don't overthink it.

155
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,080
Alright. We'll talk later.

156
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,240
SHENZHEN

157
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:56,720
Luke,

158
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,160
if we don't have dinner plans tonight,
I'll head out on my own.

159
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:00,360
I'm meeting a friend.

160
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,160
A friend?

161
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:04,440
My college classmate.

162
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:06,480
He's also my ex-boyfriend.

163
00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:08,800
Shang Zhitao.

164
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,520
You're early.

165
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,280
Is this your colleague?

166
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,320
This is… This is my boss, Luke.

167
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,640
This is my friend, Xin Zhaozhou.

168
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,120
We're having dinner tonight.

169
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,040
Have a good catch-up.

170
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:28,640
Tao.

171
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:30,320
You've changed a lot.

172
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:31,920
You've become more mature.

173
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:34,920
If I hadn't changed,

174
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,680
these past few years
would've been for nothing.

175
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,160
The man just now, that Luke, is your boss?

176
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,200
He doesn't look easy to get along with.

177
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,760
Just don't get on his bad side.

178
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,960
Looks like you're doing
pretty well at work, Tao.

179
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:03,640
Well…

180
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:06,640
It's been tough.

181
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:09,920
I know

182
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:13,760
it wasn't easy for you to stick it out
in Beijing all these years.

183
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,200
Back then, you wanted to go north,
and I wanted to come south.

184
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,560
We all knew Beijing wasn't an easy place.

185
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:20,680
But you were set on it.

186
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,080
I couldn't stop you.

187
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,480
All I could do was wish you the best

188
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:26,760
and hope this cruel world
wouldn't swallow you whole.

189
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,440
Sometimes I wonder

190
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,960
if I hadn't come to Shenzhen
and had gone to Beijing with you instead,

191
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:36,640
would I have made it this far too?

192
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,280
Yao Bei told me

193
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,680
you've made lots of new friends
in Beijing.

194
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,480
Work's been going well,
you got promoted, got a raise,

195
00:13:51,560 --> 00:13:54,520
and even landed a major project
all on your own.

196
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,200
I'm really proud of you.

197
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,280
It was my fault.
I didn't hold on hard enough,

198
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,720
so you had to carry all that on your own.

199
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,040
Let's not talk about that.

200
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,160
It's my first time in Shenzhen.

201
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:17,880
The sea is beautiful.

202
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,360
Do you like it here?

203
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,440
I bought a two-bedroom apartment nearby.

204
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,360
On weekends, I bring my parents over.

205
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,880
They like going to the market
in the morning to buy fresh seafood.

206
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,040
In the evening, we'll stroll along
the beach and watch the sunset.

207
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,280
If you have time while you're here,

208
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,680
I can show you around.

209
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:43,520
Nice.

210
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,360
Isn't this the life you've always wanted?

211
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,000
Congrats. I'm really happy for you.

212
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:07,600
Tao.

213
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,160
I bought your favorite ice cream.

214
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,640
Your favorite, red bean flavor.

215
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:19,880
Thank you.

216
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:21,840
Get some rest.

217
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,760
I'll pick you up tomorrow evening.

218
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,160
You can't miss the class reunion.

219
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:27,120
Xin Zhaozhou,

220
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,440
I have a business dinner tomorrow.

221
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,240
I'm not sure when it ends.

222
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,160
I probably can't make it.

223
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:38,960
Is it because of me?

224
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,640
Of course not. How could it be?

225
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,440
You haven't changed at all, really.

226
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,320
You're still just as bad at lying.

227
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,320
Whenever you lie,
you can't look me in the eye.

228
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:02,720
Who says I can't?

229
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:07,800
Xin Zhaozhou,

230
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,200
I'm really happy I got to see you today.

231
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,440
I've wanted to tell you this
for a long time.

232
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,120
I've never regretted being with you.

233
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,280
I remember

234
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,040
I used to blame you for not going
to Beijing with me.

235
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,880
Looking back now, I honestly think

236
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,200
I was so young and so immature.

237
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:37,040
But seeing us both today
living the lives we wanted, I think

238
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,440
it's a perfect ending.

239
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:41,560
I'm happy for us.

240
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,840
I know. I understand.

241
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,120
The past is in the past.

242
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,600
Can I… Can I have one more hug?

243
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:02,360
Of course.

244
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,360
I hope all my hard work pays off

245
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,520
and that I can become your client soon

246
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:40,720
and specifically ask for you.

247
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,040
Sure.

248
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:48,560
That day will come.

249
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:51,840
I'm leaving.

250
00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:33,560
This is my friend, Xin Zhaozhou.

251
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,040
We're having dinner tonight.

252
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:36,760
He's also my ex-boyfriend.

253
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,040
What is it, Flora?

254
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:46,720
You said

255
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,920
we should do one more rehearsal
before tomorrow's client meeting.

256
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,680
I'm here to run through it with you.

257
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:53,760
Did I?

258
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,280
You said we always rehearse
before an S-tier client workshop.

259
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,120
Come in.

260
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:22,480
Aren't we rehearsing now?

261
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:23,640
Go ahead.

262
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,360
Alright.

263
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,720
I'll start then.

264
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:29,880
We'll begin with the first section.

265
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,120
We…

266
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:39,560
Can you hear me if I speak like this?

267
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,320
I can. Go ahead.

268
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,280
Then I'll start with the first section.

269
00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:49,920
Do you need the laptop?

270
00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:52,320
Do I?

271
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,400
Well, I'll start from my side.

272
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:14,600
LUAN SIYUAN

273
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:18,920
Hello?

274
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:20,760
I'm downstairs at your hotel.

275
00:21:22,120 --> 00:21:22,960
You're here?

276
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:24,760
I'll be right down.

277
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,440
Practice by yourself.

278
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:31,560
I'm going out for dinner.

279
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:33,800
Dinner?

280
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,040
Is it important?

281
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,080
My ex-girlfriend.

282
00:22:08,360 --> 00:22:10,320
If you don't perform well tomorrow,

283
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,640
I'll transfer you to the Shenzhen branch

284
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,120
so that you can rekindle feelings
with your ex-boyfriend.

285
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,120
Luke.

286
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,240
If you can't say anything nice,
don't say anything at all.

287
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:45,640
Luan Nian.

288
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,000
Where are we going, my little brother?

289
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,000
Don't call me that.

290
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,000
-Then what should I call you?
-Excuse me?

291
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,280
My key card has been demagnetized.

292
00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:55,480
Sure. One moment, please.

293
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,080
You're on my turf now.
Still want to pick a fight with me?

294
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:07,840
Let's go.

295
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,520
What's wrong? Trouble at work?

296
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:29,320
No.

297
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,040
Why do you look
like a rooster that just lost a fight?

298
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:38,560
What got to you?

299
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:40,800
Heartbroken?

300
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,040
Siyuan.

301
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:49,600
Do I really say awful things?

302
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,600
Where's my arrogant little brother?

303
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,680
What happened to my cocky little brother

304
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,800
who could shut anyone up
with his sharp tongue?

305
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,240
What's wrong with you, Luan Siyuan?

306
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,720
You may have the sharpest mouth,

307
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,760
but you've also got the softest heart.

308
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,040
Come on.

309
00:24:13,120 --> 00:24:15,240
I'll treat you to something good.
Let's go.

310
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:27,040
Today I'll be presenting
the marketing proposal for Jinyuan Tea.

311
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,640
Our overall strategy
is to target younger consumers

312
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:31,760
while expanding into lower-tier markets.

313
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,480
Based on our market research and analysis,

314
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:35,960
we've identified
our product's biggest strength.

315
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,960
That is its rarity.

316
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,160
It fills a gap in the tea market.

317
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,240
JINYUAN'S BRAND APPROACH
DIFFERENTIATING CHANNELS, CUSTOMIZING

318
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,840
The reason I ran this hiring experiment
was to prove one thing.

319
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,800
People with natural talent
may shine quickly,

320
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,680
but those who keep working hard

321
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,200
are the ones who'll surprise you
in the long run.

322
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,360
Flora was my first test case.

323
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,000
I believe she'll go places.

324
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,440
Maybe not today,
but maybe tomorrow or the day after.

325
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:27,200
We just have to give her the chance.

326
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,800
Alright. That's all for today.
Thank you, everyone.

327
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,640
Mr. Luan, you've got quite a team.

328
00:25:46,360 --> 00:25:48,200
Luke, here's to you.

329
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:49,600
Let's have one together.

330
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:50,840
Cheers.

331
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,520
It's been a real pleasure
working with you.

332
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,040
I hope we can keep working together.

333
00:25:57,120 --> 00:25:58,160
Sure.

334
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:00,000
Luke.

335
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:02,360
Flora.

336
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,080
Welcome to Shenzhen.

337
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,800
I'm so happy to have entrusted
this project to Lime.

338
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,240
Your proposal was on point.

339
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,880
It solved most of our problems.
Thank you so much.

340
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,880
Mr. Chen, let me toast you.

341
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,640
We'll definitely make this a hit.

342
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,240
I'll go over the remaining details
with you later.

343
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,160
-Sure.
-Thanks for your support.

344
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:22,600
Looking forward to working together again.

345
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:26,960
Flora.

346
00:26:29,360 --> 00:26:30,560
-We'll talk later.
-Okay.

347
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:31,760
Thanks.

348
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,080
-Mr. Luan, a toast to you. Thank you.
-Flora, well done today.

349
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,200
Flora, you were amazing today.

350
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,320
-You did an incredible job.
-Thank you.

351
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,440
Actually, I don't handle alcohol
very well.

352
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:08,800
Flora.

353
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:37,480
I'm fine.

354
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,320
-I'm okay.
-Come. Lie down.

355
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,680
XIN ZHAOZHOU

356
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:17,960
Hi.

357
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,680
We're having our class reunion tonight.
I can't get hold of Shang Zhitao.

358
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:21,800
I'm a little worried,
so I came to check on her.

359
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,320
She drank too much.
She's lying on the bed.

360
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:26,640
She might throw up soon.

361
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,000
Tao.

362
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:31,800
Easy, Tao.

363
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,080
Get it all out. Rinse your mouth.

364
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:49,880
Now lie back down.

365
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,120
I'll stay and take care of her tonight.

366
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:01,920
Sounds good.

367
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,800
Since you're here,
that saves me the trouble.

368
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:10,680
Thanks for bringing her back.

369
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,160
I'll look after her.
You should head back and get some rest.

370
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:15,760
I can't do that.

371
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,160
I'm responsible for the safety
of my company's female employees.

372
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,720
Leaving a drunk woman alone with a man
is a bit risky.

373
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,240
-We are actually…
-You're her ex, right?

374
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:27,280
I know.

375
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,720
Ex. Not current.

376
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:35,800
Go ahead and take care of her.

377
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,120
I'll be here. I won't get in your way.

378
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:41,440
Luan Nian…

379
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:42,960
Luan Nian…

380
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,280
You…

381
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:45,840
You jerk.

382
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,480
You're a real piece of work.

383
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:50,800
Who's Luan Nian?

384
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:54,200
No idea.

385
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,440
Maybe some guy she has a crush on.

386
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,040
I want water.

387
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,320
I want water.

388
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:14,800
Drink slowly.

389
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:26,160
You're not leaving?

390
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:27,840
You're not gone either.

391
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,520
Tao can't hold her liquor.

392
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:34,480
And she threw up so much.

393
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,720
Her throat's going to hurt later tonight.

394
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:38,680
Whenever she's sick,
she kicks the blanket off.

395
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,480
She's in safe hands with me. Don't worry.

396
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,320
You're the one who worries me.

397
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:27,160
Tao!

398
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:29,720
Bei.

399
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,320
The char siu

400
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,120
and roast goose here are amazing.

401
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,480
They're all my favorites.

402
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:42,560
Let me try.

403
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,320
The food here is really authentic.

404
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:46,440
Is it good?

405
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:47,840
Yes.

406
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:49,560
Try this.

407
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,160
Thanks.

408
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,600
Let me have a good look at you.

409
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,920
You're much more mature
than when you first went to Beijing.

410
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:58,920
You're even prettier.

411
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,040
You look great too.

412
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:04,720
I got married.

413
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,440
What? When did that happen?

414
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,000
Why didn't you tell me?

415
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,760
Two months ago.
It all happened so suddenly.

416
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,440
We didn't have a wedding.
We just registered our marriage.

417
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:17,760
So we didn't tell many people.

418
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,560
That's wonderful.
What does your husband do?

419
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,960
He's a local. He's an architect.

420
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,720
Back then, he held out the blueprints
he designed and proposed to me

421
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,280
and said I was the client of his life.

422
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,920
For the first time,

423
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,960
I felt the security
of having a family of my own.

424
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,840
I felt incredibly lucky.

425
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:47,520
Bei,

426
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,680
being far from home,
you've found someone so wonderful.

427
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,400
I'm really happy for you.

428
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:55,240
Thank you.

429
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,480
What about you?

430
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:02,880
Do you have a boyfriend?

431
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:05,560
Bei,

432
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:07,720
you know me.

433
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,920
Relationships have never been
a big part of my life.

434
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,520
Have you thought about Xin Zhaozhou again?

435
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:21,840
You two just met, didn't you?

436
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,120
You know each other so well.

437
00:34:24,199 --> 00:34:26,199
He's doing really well now.

438
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,440
He'd make a great husband.

439
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,639
At the very least,
he always treated you like a princess,

440
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:33,800
didn't he?

441
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,639
Actually, I have a boyfriend.

442
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,719
We've been together for four years.

443
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:47,239
You know, to me,
you've always been such a wonderful girl.

444
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,480
You've been with someone for four years,
yet I've never heard a word about him.

445
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,480
Tao, listen to me.

446
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,720
A good relationship helps you grow.

447
00:35:02,240 --> 00:35:03,760
Once you've dated for over three years,

448
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,320
the chances of getting married
fall sharply.

449
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,760
If you think he's the right man,

450
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:12,840
you should start thinking
about the future.

451
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,440
After all, a woman needs stability.

452
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:18,720
Think about yourself too.

453
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:28,680
Come on. Eat.

454
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,160
Try this.

455
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,040
-Have some more.
-Okay.

456
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:35,960
Have one too, Bei.

457
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,080
PRE-WEDDING TRAVEL PHOTOSHOOT

458
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,320
Luan Nian, let's take a walk.

459
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:57,760
I want to talk to you.

460
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:00,120
Okay.

461
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:17,400
Luan Nian,

462
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:19,720
you know,

463
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,400
I have a bucket list.

464
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,160
There's one thing I wanted to do
before I turn 30.

465
00:36:33,240 --> 00:36:36,520
If I meet the right person,

466
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:39,280
I want to get married.

467
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,160
What if… I mean, what if

468
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:46,720
we made our relationship public?

469
00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:49,720
We could be together openly.

470
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,000
What do you think?

471
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,080
You seem to like Luke too.

472
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:57,280
We could raise him.

473
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,760
We could go shopping, watch movies,

474
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,720
meet each other's parents.

475
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,400
We could get married.

476
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:09,760
And maybe have a child.

477
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,280
Just like a normal couple.

478
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,080
I've never thought about any of that.

479
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,280
I don't have a bucket list.

480
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:32,480
Shang Zhitao,

481
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,440
I know being with me hasn't been easy.

482
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,240
People around me all say
I'm hard to get along with.

483
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:41,640
That I've got a terrible temper.

484
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,080
I know I'm not good at loving someone,

485
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:46,760
but you're still young.

486
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,160
You're not sure about a lot of things.

487
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,080
You say you want to be with me,

488
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,160
yet you still went to a matchmaking event.

489
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,760
When I saw your ex-boyfriend
taking good care of you,

490
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,960
and your roommate acting so close to you,

491
00:38:13,240 --> 00:38:15,360
I realized the kind of life you want

492
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,000
might not be one I can give you.

493
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:21,560
Luan Nian,

494
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,480
I'm not someone
who falls in love casually.

495
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:28,720
Before you,

496
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,040
I'd only had one boyfriend.

497
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,640
I never imagined we'd start like this,

498
00:38:35,720 --> 00:38:38,320
but that's how we did.

499
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,720
Plus, you're my boss. My superior.

500
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:45,840
I need this respectable job.

501
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,120
So I'm exhausted.

502
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:50,360
But that's on me.

503
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:53,720
I hope you'll calm down.

504
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:00,640
Fine.

505
00:39:02,720 --> 00:39:03,800
I get it.

506
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,680
I thought our fourth year together

507
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,520
would mean something deeper
than when we first dated.

508
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,400
To be honest,

509
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,320
what Luan Nian said that day
was sincere and gentle.

510
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,240
But his words cut through our relationship

511
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,440
like a knife,

512
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,840
laying the truth bare. It hurt,

513
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,440
but it also made me see things
more clearly.

514
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,440
Some people are simply out of reach.

515
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,440
Some obsessions have to end.

516
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,240
As much as I longed for love,

517
00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:09,000
I was still struggling with reality.

518
00:40:11,240 --> 00:40:15,560
Between us stood an invisible wall
that neither of us could break through.

519
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,200
It was built from our personalities,
families,

520
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,120
and the way we grew up.

521
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,440
We were never truly
on the same wavelength.

522
00:40:58,640 --> 00:40:59,600
Where were you?

523
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,000
I… I went to see a friend.

524
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,400
I came right back as soon as you called.

525
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:07,560
Your ex-ex-boyfriend?

526
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:13,480
I've only had one ex.

527
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,440
Unlike someone
who has a long dating history.

528
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,360
Hello. What's your name?

529
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,200
Hello. You can call me Flora.

530
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:23,520
I'm Luke's subordinate.

531
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:27,320
Let's have dinner together.

532
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,160
No thanks. You two go on a date.

533
00:41:31,240 --> 00:41:34,440
Do you think I'd date a man like him?

534
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,520
If he weren't my brother,
I wouldn't even bother with him.

535
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,720
He gets away with everything
just because he's good-looking.

536
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:43,560
Bad temper. Sharp tongue.

537
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,000
Luan Siyuan, watch your mouth.

538
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:51,920
Nice to meet you, Miss Luan.

539
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,360
Luke told his colleague
you were his ex-girlfriend.

540
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:00,000
He even said you were so obedient,
you'd come running whenever he called.

541
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,240
You're really making things up now.

542
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:09,840
Forget it. I'm not eating with you.

543
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:11,360
-You can leave now.
-You!

544
00:42:15,240 --> 00:42:16,560
Flora, I'm off.

545
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:29,480
Do you have a minute?

546
00:42:30,240 --> 00:42:31,200
I

547
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:33,240
need to talk to you.

548
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:38,000
Sure.
