[Genius Girlfriend]

[Episode 21]

Do you still remember that insanely difficult

last question from that year's college entrance exam?

What was the examiner even thinking?

That last question...

I think I vaguely remember it.

It's not hard once you substitute in logarithms.

Easy for you.

That question

definitely stumped a lot of students.

Didn't you say before,

"After each exam, put it behind you.

Once they're all over, let them go.

Don't dwell on it. Just look ahead."

Yeah.

So you need to look ahead too.

Don't keep staring down at the ground.

Try it.

Come on.

Okay.

Come on, go.

Get lower.

Keep your balance.

Look ahead.

Don't look back.

I'm right here.

Jiang Yubai, look, I can skateboard now!

[Inpatient]

Director.

Come in.

Sit.

Shen,

Dr. Huang

has other duties to attend to.

As for Shui's routine checkups

and ward rounds,

you'll take care of those for now.

[Assessment and Plan for Today]

[Examining Physician's Signature]

She's had

8 different examining doctors in just 6 months?

In our department,

examining doctors

are supposed to rotate regularly.

You just started your residency here.

Learning more

about different diseases

will do you good.

Do I need to attend the case discussions?

Examining doctors don't need to.

Director,

APL is a rare disease,

so I'd like to study it in depth.

Alright.

[Doctor's signature, Shen Fuxuan]

Shen,

Shui

is a bit of a princess.

Be mindful of your approach

when treating her.

Okay, I'll keep that in mind.

Director, I'll get back to work then.

Okay.

The teacher asked me to bring these to you.

Read them when you have time

so you won't fall too far behind in your studies.

Leave them there.

So annoying.

I'm already stuck lying here.

How am I supposed to feel like studying?

No need to guess. It was definitely my parents' idea.

Then let me show you something good.

What is it?

Our class has a new intern teacher,

Mr. Wang.

He's very handsome.

Look.

Hurry up and get better.

Then you can see him when you go back to school.

This guy?

Only someone like you

who hasn't met many men

would think he's all that.

As if you've seen that many.

What do you think?

He looks like a runway model.

And his name is so nice too—

Shen Fuxuan.

It means "basking in the sun in winter

and bathing in spring water in summer."

How cultured.

Yeah, sure.

He really is pretty handsome.

However,

Mr. Wang

graduated from Qingbei University.

Where did

this Dr. Shen of yours graduate from?

Oh, him?

Nothing special.

Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

Really?

Then, is he...

single?

I don't know either.

You...

Shui,

starting today,

I'll be responsible for your routine checkups.

Really, Dr. Shen?

You agreed with Director Zhou

that you'd handle my routine checkups from now on?

That's great.

I'll take you for a blood test now.

Let's go.

Hello, are you Jiang Yubai?

Yes.

What's the matter?

This is my badge.

There is something

we need to confirm with you.

We'd appreciate your cooperation.

Okay.

Something came up.

Let's meet another day.

[Okay.]

Do you know why we brought you in today?

Don't be nervous.

It's just a routine inquiry.

Recently,

a batch of rebranded speakers

has appeared on the market.

They look almost exactly like the originals.

We traced them back to the source

and found a guy named Cheng.

Take a look at these photos.

Jiang,

they're really not for private labeling.

They will never end up on the market.

It's just that some vain rich kids

want something unique,

with a mystery to it they can't quite put into words.

I guarantee it won't damage your reputation.

And this order is very profitable.

It'd also get you out of the tight spot you're in right now.

[Repayment Plan for the Next Three Months]

Officer.

Cheng is my business partner.

Our workshop's

operating model is actually quite simple.

Cheng is mainly responsible for

communicating with clients

and selling our products.

I'm mainly responsible for the technology and production.

I'm almost never involved in

the front-end sales process.

About 2 weeks ago...

Cheng did mention an urgent order to me.

The quantity was quite large,

but there was a special requirement.

That is, none of the products could have

our workshop's logo or mark on them.

I explicitly asked him at the time

what this batch of products was for.

But he assured me

it was solely based on the customer's personal preference

and that there was absolutely no risk of rebranding or counterfeiting involved.

We've trusted each other for years,

so I didn't look into it further.

So, what you're saying is...

you had no knowledge of this matter?

Yes.

You can ask Cheng for the customer's information

and details of the order.

Okay.

We basically

have a clear picture of what happened.

That's all for today.

We'll be in touch if there's anything further.

Get a family member to sign the paperwork,

and then you can go home.

Family...

I don't have any family.

Then...

call a friend.

I...

Don't have any friends either?

Officer,

I'd like to make a call.

-Hello, officer. -Hello.

I'm looking for Jiang Yubai.

I'm his friend.

He just called me.

[Loyalty, Service to the People, Professionalism, Efficiency]

This lady is looking for Jiang Yubai.

You're Jiang Yubai's friend, right?

Yes.

We're just following routine procedure

and conducting an inquiry.

It's finished now.

Please sign here,

and you can take him home.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Let's go.

Lin Zhixia...

Jiang Yubai, I need to commend you.

Commend you?

You've made progress.

When you texted

about meeting another day,

weren't you trying to hide this from me again?

But in the end, you still let me come pick you up.

That's real progress.

So,

as a reward...

Strawberry crepes.

You must be hungry.

Just what I needed.

I really am hungry.

Is it good?

I just bought them from a random shop.

Have something to hold you over for now.

It's good.

Next time, I'll take you to a place I've been to.

Their food is good too.

Okay.

What?

You got cream on you.

♪ Only for this lingering warmth of the moment ♪

♪ Trading souls with the night ♪

♪ Every dusk I have stolen ♪

You got some there too.

♪ Foretells a parting ♪

No, I didn't.

Yeah, a big smudge.

♪ Where did the storm start brewing ♪

You're lying.

How could I lie to you?

Then you got some here too.

Here too.

And here too.

-Su Mo! -Su Mo!

Su, whatever it is, you can tell us!

We'll help you figure something out!

Don't do this!

Su Mo!

On the rooftop.

Yeah, that's it.

-Tingting. -Tingting.

Tingting.

-Tingting. -Tingting, you're finally here.

Your Su Mo is going to jump off the building.

[Star Shine Media]

You need to go to the rooftop right now.

Go take a look.

-He's jumping off the building. -Let's go.

Jump off the building?

-Su Mo, calm down! -Su Mo!

Yeah, whatever you need,

the company will make sure you get it!

Don't do anything stupid!

Su Mo, what are you doing?

Come down right now!

Wei Ningning.

Who is Wei Ningning?

If I jump from here,

will I no longer have to endure

all the pain you've brought me?

Who is he talking about?

No idea.

I know.

I know everything.

As long as I jump from here,

all that pain will disappear.

It's fine. You can go back now.

Su Mo, get down!

I'll go over that scene with you again.

He's just practicing his lines.

It's nothing. It's nothing.

He scared the hell out of me.

Let's go back. Let's go.

You brat,

you scared the wits out of me.

I just couldn't find the right feeling

for that scene,

so I thought I'd try it out myself.

Tingting, you know what?

The moment I turned my head just now,

I truly felt like I had become him.

Your emotional delivery just now was pretty good.

But that last part,

you could tone it down a little.

Mr. Li, I'm not going to manage Bingbing.

I'll definitely make Su Mo

one of the best actors out there.

Tingting.

What are you busy with?

Nothing.

I'm telling you,

you need to step up your game from now on.

I've sacrificed a lot for you.

Go get everyone some coffee or something.

You scared everyone half to death just now.

Okay.

Got it.

Don't ever do that again.

Got it!

We're holding a welcome dinner for Shen tonight.

Don't forget, everyone.

Alright, whoever's late today gets punished with a drink.

It's been a long time, Shen!

-It's been a long time. -You're here.

Tang,

all dressed up so nicely

for Shen's welcome dinner?

Do you really need to be this formal?

Mind your own business. I didn't dress up for you.

You two

haven't changed a bit all these years.

Where's Lin Zhixia?

She's rarely late.

Traffic might be a bit heavy at this hour.

No rush.

Jin Baihui,

you've spent more than 10 years in school.

Aren't you bored with it yet?

I'm used to it.

Besides, it suits me.

What about you?

Are you in your comfort zone now?

I wouldn't call it my comfort zone.

It's more like my domain.

Shen,

well, is there any fundamental difference

between seeing patients abroad

and seeing patients here in China?

Tell us about it.

Shen.

After coming back,

are you settling in well at the new hospital?

I can handle it.

I mostly just missed you guys.

Come on.

Please, cut it out.

Traffic was bad, so I'm late.

Sorry about that.

You're here.

Shen Fuxuan.

Welcome back to the team.

I've brought a surprise for you all.

Jiang?

Jiang Yubai?

You finally showed up!

I've missed you so much.

Where on earth have you been all these years?

You just left us all hanging there

without any explanation

and then abandoned us

like we didn't matter.

Feel my heart.

It's

freezing cold and empty.

Duan Qiyan, you're so cheesy.

Jiang Yubai,

we have to punish you today.

You'd better figure out how to handle this.

Sorry, guys.

I'm late.

Come sit down.

Yeah, at least you showed up.

-Sit, everybody. -You girls take the inside seats.

I missed you so much.

Waiter, another chair, please!

It's been a long time.

Yeah, it's been a long time.

You...

haven't changed at all.

Jiang,

since we finally got together today,

tell us

where you've been for the past five years

and what you've been doing.

I...

Something happened in my family.

You might have heard about it too.

I didn't go to college.

My family owed a lot of money back then.

I was...

taking odd jobs to pay off the debt.

But don't worry.

It's almost sorted now.

I also got a bachelor's degree through self-study exams.

That's exactly why we say

you can do anything you set your mind to.

What are your plans for the future?

I haven't decided yet.

I guess I'll continue studying.

These past years,

I've made you guys worry.

I'm really sorry.

Don't think too much.

It's fine.

By the way,

I brought gifts for you guys this time.

Gifts?

Shen.

What good gift did you get me?

Hurry up and show me.

Here they are.

This is a book, right?

It's heavy and solid.

No need to guess.

It's for me?

This isn't that collection album, is it?

You found it?

I did.

Thanks.

This is a bag of cosmetics, right?

Tang.

Thanks, my dear Shen.

You really get me.

The latest 4th-generation handheld game console.

No way, seriously?

What's so surprising?

This hasn't even been released in the country yet.

You're such a good friend.

Thanks, Shen.

Sorry.

I didn't know you were coming, so...

It's fine.

I'll make it up to you next time.

I noticed you've been wearing that watch for a long time,

so I bought you the latest model.

Take a look.

It's so pretty.

Thank you, Dr. Shen.

I'll definitely take good care of it.

Alright, since Shen is back

and Jiang has rejoined us,

let's have a toast together.

-Cheers! -Come on.

Lin Zhixia.

Aren't you going to say something?

What's past

is prologue.

Well said, Zhixia.

What's past

is prologue.

Come on, cheers!

This reunion dinner after years apart

was a test for all of us.

When Jiang Yubai finally gathered the courage to speak,

all my worries dissolved into thin air.

No one pressed him for details,

and he didn't need to go out of his way to explain.

Our care and understanding

gave all the pain

he could never speak of a safe place to land.

It felt like nothing had changed between us.

We were still the same as when we were young.

Tang.

We're headed the same way. Let's go home together.

Same way, my foot.

My place is right nearby.

It's only a 10-minute walk.

Go do whatever you need to do.

But seriously,

I was really surprised

to see Jiang today.

What?

You're not happy to see him?

How could I not be happy?

We're all good friends.

I just think... well...

Jiang is really stubborn.

It's just some debt.

He didn't have to disappear for so long.

He could've just told us,

and we would've helped him figure something out.

What do you know?

That's what a real man is.

If it were you,

you'd be making a huge fuss,

wailing about it to the whole world.

No way.

But it's quite good now.

We're all back together again.

Perfect!

I don't think so.

I have a feeling trouble is coming.

What?

Didn't you notice at dinner today

that Jiang Yubai and Shen Fuxuan seemed a little off

with each other?

Off?

They've always been like that.

You're the one acting weird.

There's no point explaining it to you.

Didn't you tell me before

that a bunch of investment firms wanted to fund your bike-sharing project?

Yeah.

Then how come I haven't seen

a single one of your bikes on the road?

Are you just bragging to me?

How could I be bragging?

My e-bikes are just too popular.

Everyone's riding them.

That's why you don't see any.

Oh, please.

Sounds like you just can't afford to put out more.

You don't know how the internet business model works,

so stop running your mouth—

especially about me.

What about you?

Didn't you brag to me a few days ago

about how popular the kid your agency is training has gotten

and how he was about to join a production crew?

He hasn't joined yet, has he?

Did that project fall through?

What kid?

Look who's talking, old fossil.

Don't think I don't know anything.

Of the kids your agency trains,

not even one in a hundred can make it big.

The best option is for you to go work

with the top actress now.

She has good resources,

and it would help your career.

It would also make things easier for you.

Actually, you know what?

My boss did ask me

to manage Bingbing.

He said she's gotten popular recently, but they're short-staffed

and need a reliable executive manager.

Bingbing?

She's my goddess.

What a great opportunity. You should take it!

Why are you still thinking about it?

I'm not going to manage her.

You're not?

Why?

No reason.

Su Mo trusts me,

and I believe he can make it big.

I just want to see someone like him grow.

Grow?

Tang Tingting,

have you lost your mind or something?

You're passing up a golden future

for some nobody

who may not even become famous in a million years...

Do you have feelings for him or something?

Duan Qiyan, I'll manage whoever I want.

And I can have feelings for whoever I want.

That's none of your business!

Ridiculous.

Jiang Yubai...

You found him, didn't you?

I knew it.

Only you could bring him back.

These past few years

must've been really rough on him.

But it's all over now,

isn't it?

Have you ever thought about

what you would've done if you hadn't

found him this time?

I would've kept looking.

For how long?

Until I'd found him.

He must have had his reasons

for not showing up.

But I believe

he would never abandon us.

We really are different.

You're an optimist.

I'm going home.

-Bye-bye. -Bye-bye.

[Class Break]

Jiang is back on the team.

We're finally complete again!

Happy! We made it home safely!

[Class Break]

Welcome back.

[Class Break]

[Class Break]

[Yubai]

[Yubai]

Good night.

Sweet dreams.

Manager Xie, please make an exception.

Our project really needs the supercomputer to process the data.

That priority project you just mentioned—

isn't that Tan Qianche's?

He's not trying to catch up on the schedule at all.

He's just hogging the machine on purpose

so we can't use it.

Don't say such things to others.

Team Leader Tan's project

has always been the university's

top-priority project this semester.

Yes.

It has reached a critical stage again,

so it's understandable for him to try to get back on schedule.

But we booked the time slots long ago.

Why can't we use it?

That doesn't count anymore.

Starting today,

Team Leader Tan's project has exclusive use of the supercomputer room 24/7.

This is a decision made by the department.

Then...

Alright, don't waste your time here.

There's nothing I can do.

Tan Qianche is being way too unreasonable.

I know him.

As long as he wants to,

he can block every path for us.

Unless we stop using any of the university's resources.

But without the university's resources,

where else are we supposed to turn?

I'm definitely going to graduate late.

Enough. What's the use of complaining?

Let's listen to the team leader.

Team Leader,

do you have a solution?

I've given it some rough thought.

If we divide the core data that needs to be run by the supercomputer

into modules,

then we need to evaluate two things:

first, whether regular equipment can

handle the modules after splitting;

and second, how much data transfer

occurs between the modules.

If we can solve those two problems,

we won't need the supercomputer—

we can compute the parts separately

and integrate the results at the end.

That could work.

If

we use ordinary computers

to run the AI algorithms,

it should work.

Zhixia, I knew you'd have a way.

Luo Ying,

but this algorithm is far too

demanding for the people who operate it.

Only you and Team Leader Lin can pull it off.

A weakling like me

would just mess it up if I tried.

Still, we have to try.

There's no other way right now.

Otherwise, we'll just have to watch

our project fall through.

We'll have nowhere else to turn,

and Shuwen's graduation will be delayed.

So we can't give up.

Right.

Don't be so down, everyone.

Isn't Tan Qianche just waiting to laugh at us?

The more discouraged we are, the more smug he gets.

Don't let him get what he wants.

Forget it. Quit trying to hype me up.

Just think about it—

how many times more work is this

without the supercomputer?

Just thinking about it makes me despair.

Shui.

Are you hurting again?

Leave me alone.

I'll call Dr. Huang.

Don't.

I know it's his daughter's birthday today.

I don't want to disappoint her.

What are you doing?

Aren't you going to check the next ward?

Yours is the last one.

I'm no good at comforting people.

I'll just sit with you for a while.

Don't just sit there.

Say something.

Distract me a little.

I don't know what to say.

Anything is fine.

Even if you just make a sound.

Please.

Cell reprogramming and transdifferentiation

are among the key research areas

in regenerative medicine.

This guy really is something.

"The late emperor was taken from us before he could finish his life's work.

Now, this world is divided into three,

and Yi Province is in dire straits.

This is truly a critical moment of survival or ruin.

They remember the generous treatment they received from the late emperor,

and they wish to repay his kindness by serving Your Majesty well."

Once upon a time,

there was a little match girl.

She...

She was out selling matches,

but no one wanted to buy them.

And then...

As soon as they heard about splitting the data,

the team members all started backing out.

Really?

Shuwen is so worried he won't graduate on time that he's panicking.

Shasha too.

She has no confidence in herself at all.

I understand them.

But for our project to continue,

this is the only way.

Pass me the insulating tape.

Senior Luo Ying left Tan Qianche's team

for my project.

I must get this project done.

Otherwise, I'd feel like I'd failed them.

Get me 10 more screws.

Later,

I need to have a serious talk with Shasha and Shuwen.

Based on their individual situations,

I'll adjust the project plan

and lower the difficulty for Shasha's part.

Am I disturbing your work?

Of course not.

Pass me the screwdriver. Thanks.

Which one?

The one on the far left.

The supercomputer room has been occupied.

Everyone is in a bad mood,

and it's affecting me too.

I don't know what to do.

Didn't you just say it?

Talk to them first,

understand their specific situations,

and then make a plan.

You're so smart.

You can solve any problem.

So right now,

I'm only concerned about your mood and emotional well-being.

After all, even the smartest person's efficiency

can suffer

when they're in a bad mood.

You're right.

My mood is affecting my work right now.

I shouldn't have let other people's moods affect me like this.

Then do you have any way

to make me feel better?

When you're feeling down,

have something sweet.

It's so sweet.

How about this?

Take this whole box back to your lab.

Whenever you're feeling down, eat one.

Thank you.

[Results Integration: Lin Zhixia]

[Data Splitting: Luo Ying]

Zhixia.

Are you really going to take on most of the computing tasks?

I can help you more with that.

Do you...

It's fine.

[Results Integration: Lin Zhixia]

Just stick to your assigned tasks.

[Data Splitting: Luo Ying]

CL is 0.3170, right?

But...

your...

Team Leader, here is my report.

Team Leader.

Good job.

I've finished all the calculations.

Zhixia.

Don't work too late by yourself.

Okay.

Remember to rest.

Enter this data for me.

Okay.

Shasha.

I've proved that the curve of 129 and Y

equals the curve of X2.

But you haven't calculated this value.

Actually, we can...

Are the values for sections 3 and 4 accurate?

I ordered bubble tea for everyone.

Here.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Team Leader.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You're the best.

Thank you.

Luo Ying.

Okay, thanks. I'll drink it later.

Okay.

Everyone, keep it up!

-We can do it! -Keep going.

Keep going.

[Mom]

Baihui, you said you'd come home for dinner this weekend.

Come back early today.

Did you see my message?

[Mom]

What time will you be home?

Hello, Mom.

Didn't you see the message I sent you?

I saw it.

Um, I'm in class.

I'll go back as soon as class is over.

Okay.

I'll tell your dad too.

What do you want to eat?

I'll go buy the ingredients later.

Anything is fine.

Alright.

Chicken soup ramen, right?

They make it pretty well.

I think so.

What did you say?

-The plan still needs further discussion. -Please, wait a minute.

Right, if we're going to do this, make it perfect.

Right.

Welcome. What would you like to eat?

I'll definitely have noodles again this time.

But the one I had last time tasted pretty good.

This time, I'll try the chicken soup one instead.

Oh, right.

Please put less soy sauce,

no green onions, and no crispy seaweed.

Also, an extra soft-boiled egg

and some char siu for me.

Okay. What about you?

I'll have a regular ramen.

So that's one regular ramen

and one chicken soup ramen

with no green onions or crispy seaweed,

less soy sauce,

plus a soft-boiled egg and char siu,

right?

Right, thanks.

Okay.

Um,

3 bottles of soy milk for me.

Sure, coming right up.

So, the most important issue

about that plan is...

Make sure to rest no matter how busy you are.

[Jiang Yubai]

[Yubai]

[Jiang Yubai]

Your ramen.

Thank you.

Your chicken soup ramen.

Thanks.

Mr. Duan, about...

Hold on.

Let's eat first.

We need a full stomach to have the energy to fight.

If you're not into food, you've got a problem.

We can talk while we eat.

Plus, the ramen the boss lady makes here

is exceptionally delicious.

Enjoy your meal, then.

Wait a minute.

Have a bottle of soy milk, boss lady.

For me?

Thanks for putting up with my fussiness.

I'll accept it then.

Actually...

what you just suggested definitely won't work.

Why?

We absolutely can't settle for a second-best solution.

But the KPIs are already set in stone.

Technological upgrades

are what we must strive for.

You can't just focus on short-term gains

and ignore the big picture.

That doesn't make sense. Understand?

Mr. Duan, actually, I support your idea.

But the other shareholders...

Don't worry about the others.

You help me stabilize things on their side.

I'll handle the rest.

Eat up.

Okay, okay, okay.

I understand your thoughts,

but the most important thing is...

Zhixia.

You're here.

Why are your eyes so red?

You really can't keep pulling all-nighters like this.

Your body will give out if you keep this up.

So I'm going home to rest for a bit.

Can you keep an eye on the progress this morning?

You're already like this. Don't worry about those things.

I'll take you home.

I'll be worried if you're not in the lab.

Fine.

Hurry back and get some sleep.

Bye.

Zhixia!

Zhixia!

[Class Break]

Zhixia fell down.

She's in the hospital now.

How is she?

Is she alright?

There's nothing serious.

Just dizziness from extreme fatigue,

a hairline fracture in her foot,

and a slight fever.

She'll be fine after a couple of days' rest in the hospital.

That sounds pretty serious.

Can we go in and see her?

The hospital has rules.

Only one visit per day,

and a maximum of two people at a time.

There's still one spot left.

Let me go in.
