00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:08,920
SAY NO TO PIRACY, SUPPORT ORIGINALS

2
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,960
{\an8}ADAPTED FROM <i>THE EARLY SPRING</i> ON JJWXC.NET
AUTHOR: GU NIANG BIE KU

3
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:54,640
Come in.

4
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,280
So? The results are out?

5
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,560
She deserves the Specialist title.

6
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,479
And it turns out, about 80%
of my decisions are right,

7
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,080
and 20% are wrong.

8
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,480
But when it comes to people,
you made the right decisions.

9
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,840
Shang Zhitao is outstanding.

10
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:18,120
You have a good eye for talent.

11
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,160
Well prepared. Who did this?

12
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,600
Dony must've planted someone here
before he went to prison.

13
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,160
The whistleblower was one
of his former subordinates.

14
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,240
Someone who worked at Lime briefly.

15
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:58,480
A real piece of work.

16
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:00,760
He's like a bad penny.

17
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,160
The day Flora reported him
for sexual harassment,

18
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,600
you stepped in
and dealt with him yourself.

19
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,080
That's when I knew something
was going on between you.

20
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,560
I'd actually sensed it before then.

21
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,480
I didn't say anything
because I know where your line is.

22
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,960
And I trusted that she wasn't the kind
of employee who'd break the rules.

23
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:27,720
But

24
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,400
someone gave me this.

25
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,080
What are you going to do with it?

26
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,920
A GRAND RETREAT

27
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,040
{\an8}LIME ANNUAL APPRECIATION NIGHT

28
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:14,840
Cheers, Lumi.

29
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,120
Song Ying made the shortlist.
Did you know that?

30
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,160
I just found out.

31
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:33,080
Her dad is giving 80%
of next year's ad budget to Lime.

32
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,040
Eighty percent? How much is that?

33
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,640
Two hundred and fifty million.
Across all platforms.

34
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,960
That's the power of money.

35
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:47,960
Flora.

36
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,080
- Congratulations.
- Kitty.

37
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,640
You finally made Specialist this year.

38
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,520
I'm telling you,
you're the most envied woman at Lime.

39
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:58,680
Got your acceptance speech ready?

40
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,000
I still need to work on it.

41
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,280
Don't worry. You'll be fine.

42
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,920
Flora, I just joined
the company this year.

43
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,680
Please look out for me.

44
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,360
- Do your best.
- Thank you.

45
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:09,560
I'll head over first.

46
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:15,320
Relax. It's definitely you.

47
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,280
Everyone knows it.

48
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,720
If she wins, people won't accept it.
It won't be her.

49
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,960
If someone's going to win,

50
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,280
why can't it be you?

51
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,120
If it's not you,
I'll be the first to object.

52
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:37,640
Luke.

53
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:45,840
Thank you for your guidance and support.

54
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:50,160
Keep up the good work.

55
00:05:57,840 --> 00:05:58,680
Let's talk later.

56
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,040
Distinguished leaders, honored guests,

57
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,360
ladies and gentlemen,
dear Lime family and friends,

58
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,960
good evening!

59
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,400
Next, it's time for our biggest award,

60
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,000
the announcement
of this year's Specialist.

61
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,560
Lime is the leading advertising agency
in the industry.

62
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,640
The Specialist we choose each year

63
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:31,400
must have made outstanding contributions
and achieved remarkable results.

64
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,560
They'll help lead the advertising industry
to new heights

65
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,960
and serve as an example to us all.

66
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,200
This year's finalists
are the head of the Northwest project,

67
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:45,240
who has served the company
faithfully for six years, Flora.

68
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,400
- Thank you.
- Shang Zhitao.

69
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,960
I love you.

70
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,280
{\an8}THE LEGEND IS HERE!

71
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,160
And the second finalist,
who was selected by exception,

72
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,080
a rising star in the industry

73
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:01,520
who secured the company's
biggest account of the year, Yilia.

74
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,440
Who will take home the title?

75
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,760
Now, please welcome Luke,
the General Manager of Lime Advertising,

76
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:18,760
to announce this year's Specialist.

77
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,040
A big round of applause.

78
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:52,840
This year's

79
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,640
Lime Specialist is…

80
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,360
Yilia, Song Ying.

81
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,080
SONG YING, LIME SPECIALIST

82
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,000
Thank you.

83
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:59,280
Alright. Yilia, how do you feel
about winning this honor?

84
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,080
Thank you to the company
for this recognition.

85
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,920
I'd like to share this honor with Flora.

86
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,840
I… Thank you.

87
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,800
It belongs to you.

88
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,040
You've done an incredible job.

89
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,560
When I was your age,
I wasn't anywhere near as good.

90
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,320
I was completely ordinary.

91
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,080
It was an honor to compete with you.

92
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,280
Congratulations.

93
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,680
Alright. Thank you both
for your wonderful speeches.

94
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,440
Now, let the banquet begin.

95
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,320
Please excuse me.

96
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:28,560
Are you okay?

97
00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:34,520
Sun Yu and I are catching
a midnight movie later.

98
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,080
Is Sun Yuanzhu not coming?

99
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,040
You knew today's result, didn't you?

100
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,600
Why didn't you tell me beforehand?

101
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,680
Would that have changed the outcome?

102
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:03,840
Of course not.

103
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,560
But Lumi knew Song Ying
was competing against me.

104
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,520
She told me in advance.

105
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,800
You've been my superior for years.

106
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,640
You knew how much
I'd put into this project.

107
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,080
And you just sat there,

108
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,280
watching me wait in anticipation
below the stage like a clown.

109
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,080
If it wasn't Song Ying,
it would've been someone else.

110
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,520
Everyone can see how hard you've worked,
what you've achieved,

111
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:32,680
and what you're capable of.

112
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:34,640
If you know you've done well,

113
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,000
don't let other people's
opinions get to you.

114
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:40,400
Then tell me.

115
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,120
Would you have scored me fairly?

116
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:49,760
What do you mean?

117
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,120
Could you, Luan Nian,

118
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:58,040
ignore that 250 million
and judge me fairly and objectively?

119
00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,320
Could you?

120
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,480
Shang Zhitao,
this was another competition.

121
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,280
Is it really that hard
to focus on doing your best?

122
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,480
One result doesn't define you.

123
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,600
As long as you keep doing well,
next time will be yours.

124
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:28,880
This is the workplace, I know.

125
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,400
Things are never completely fair.

126
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,960
Relationships, connections, money.

127
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,480
They can all come before ability.

128
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:38,000
But I always thought this was different.

129
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,160
Because it was Lime.

130
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,560
It's the Lime that made an exception
to hire me and helped me grow so quickly.

131
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,400
It was fair and objective.

132
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,640
Anything was possible here.

133
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,000
That's why I never thought I'd lose.

134
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,440
And I don't want to be
the last one to know

135
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,280
that the outcome was already decided.

136
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,720
Shang Zhitao, I never thought you were
someone who couldn't handle losing.

137
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,840
There are winners and losers
in the workplace.

138
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,040
Adults should know
how to accept the result.

139
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,960
You're only this upset because
you think I didn't treat you differently.

140
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,040
Am I right?

141
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,040
Let me tell you this.

142
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,280
I keep work and personal life
completely separate.

143
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:14,880
I suggest you do the same.

144
00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:16,840
Otherwise, you're only making things
harder for yourself.

145
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:19,720
I'm not like you.

146
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,520
You can afford to lose with grace.

147
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,080
I can't.

148
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,280
From the first day I joined Lime,
all I've wanted was to survive here.

149
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,000
Every single step I've taken
is like walking on thin ice.

150
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,240
Do you understand?

151
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,600
Luan Nian,

152
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,320
of course you don't understand.

153
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,840
If you did,
you wouldn't have asked me that.

154
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,000
You wouldn't be talking to me like this.

155
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,440
You've always looked down on me.

156
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:56,560
You never believed I was good enough.

157
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:57,800
You never thought I had what it takes.

158
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,160
You've never respected me
or treated me as your equal.

159
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,280
Why did I spend six years
with someone like you?

160
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:11,480
What kind of person do you think I am?

161
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,680
Arrogant. Conceited. Selfish.

162
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,720
Is that really how you see me?

163
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,480
Why do you always question me?

164
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,320
Why am I always the one being doubted?

165
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,360
Why are you always so condescending?

166
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:35,840
Luan Nian.

167
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,480
Is it really that hard
to talk to me properly?

168
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,640
Shang Zhitao, you should calm down now.

169
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,640
Why should I?

170
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,360
Why do I have to calm down?

171
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,200
I've struggled in this city for six years,

172
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,000
and in the end, I've got nothing.

173
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,720
I lost my best friend.

174
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,320
I lost the competition I should've won.

175
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,000
And now you're telling me to calm down.

176
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:04,320
What gives you the right?

177
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,400
My patience is wearing thin.

178
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,640
Stop pushing me.

179
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,880
I want to end this.

180
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:25,520
End what?

181
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:28,680
What are you ending?

182
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,520
I'm ending…

183
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:45,560
this filthy,

184
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,160
ugly,

185
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,280
disgusting relationship between us.

186
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,560
You think our relationship was filthy?

187
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,360
Ugly? Disgusting?

188
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,440
It was never a normal relationship.

189
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,760
We never trusted each other.

190
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,560
We never loved each other.

191
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,400
So you were only with me
to get ahead in your career?

192
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,160
And now that you lost,
you think I've outlived my usefulness?

193
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,320
The main reason I lost

194
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,960
was spending six years
with someone like you.

195
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,400
Someone who couldn't judge me fairly.

196
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:44,320
Exactly.

197
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:47,480
You said it yourself.

198
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:48,920
We were only together for six years.

199
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:50,880
There weren't any real feelings.

200
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,440
If it wasn't you,
it could've been someone else.

201
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:27,920
Let's end it here.

202
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,720
I can't accept adding Yilia
to this year's Specialist selection.

203
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,440
She hasn't been here long enough.

204
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,080
She doesn't meet
the company's requirements.

205
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,200
You know this.

206
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,800
It was a special exception by the board.

207
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,520
I don't agree.

208
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,280
Luke, it's only an extra candidate.

209
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,720
You and I both know

210
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,120
Flora deserves
this year's Specialist title.

211
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,840
She spent over a year
working in the Northwest for this project.

212
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:39,960
And you also know Yilia brought Lime
250 million in ad spending.

213
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:41,520
That's enough to change the rules.

214
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,680
I admit Yilia is capable.
She's delivered results.

215
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:45,720
You can promote her,

216
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,320
give her a raise,
or a huge bonus if you want,

217
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,160
but the Specialist title recognizes
ability, seniority, and experience.

218
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,640
I won't accept the company
changing the rules on a whim.

219
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,160
<i>What are you going to do?</i>

220
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,160
I pulled some records as requested.

221
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,880
The first person Flora informed
about weekend overtime was you.

222
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,880
The first person
she traveled with was you.

223
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,080
The security footage was reviewed too.

224
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,240
Every Friday night, you two always left
the office one after the other.

225
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,360
You know those facts can't be changed.

226
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:25,560
Fine.

227
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,080
I'll leave. I'll resign.

228
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,080
But you know perfectly well,

229
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,040
if you leave,
she won't be able to stay either.

230
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,000
I'm due to report to the US.

231
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,560
There's an opening
for President over there.

232
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:46,600
I turned it down before.

233
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,120
Now I can apply for the transfer.

234
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,680
On one condition.

235
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,720
Flora stays at Lime.

236
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,160
This job means everything to her.

237
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,320
I know.

238
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,840
I've watched her fight
her way up over the past six years.

239
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,400
I want her to stay too.

240
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:18,280
But this year's Specialist title
must go to Yilia.

241
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,120
Give it to Yilia then.

242
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,560
Next year, create
another Specialist position for Flora.

243
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,920
Don't worry.
I'll do everything I can for her.

244
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,720
Never thought you'd actually fall in love.

245
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,200
I have one more request.

246
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,280
Keep all this from Flora.

247
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:46,880
Why?

248
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,920
Wouldn't it be better
if she knew what you've done for her?

249
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,000
She's too proud.

250
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:59,280
If she finds out,
she'll either leave Lime or leave me.

251
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,960
Alright. You have my word.

252
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:09,720
Thank you.

253
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:15,720
<i>I'm ending</i>

254
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,360
<i>this filthy, ugly,</i>
<i>disgusting relationship between us.</i>

255
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,240
<i>You're only this upset because</i>
<i>you think I didn't treat you specially.</i>

256
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:41,200
<i>Am I right?</i>

257
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,920
<i>I keep work and personal life</i>
<i>completely separate.</i>

258
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,560
<i>I suggest you do the same.</i>

259
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,680
<i>Otherwise, you're only</i>
<i>making things harder for yourself.</i>

260
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,240
<i>We were only together for six years.</i>

261
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,080
<i>If it wasn't you,</i>

262
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,000
<i>it could've been someone else.</i>

263
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:34,880
Shang Zhitao,

264
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:37,440
don't be impulsive.

265
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,640
I'm not. I'm taking Luke with me.

266
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:44,760
You're an adult.

267
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:49,280
If you say it's over,

268
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:51,600
then don't ever start it again.

269
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,120
I never will.

270
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,240
Let's go, Luke.

271
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:17,480
Come on, Luke.

272
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,000
Luke.

273
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,400
Listen.

274
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,440
You can only choose one.

275
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:42,800
If you stay,

276
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,600
you'll never see me again.

277
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:46,280
Luke.

278
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:51,200
We're leaving.

279
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:58,360
Let's go, Luke.

280
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,240
Come on. Let's go, Luke.

281
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:12,280
You're staying, aren't you?

282
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:16,800
Fine.

283
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,040
You stay. I'll go.

284
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,440
You ungrateful Luke,
you chose the rich over the poor.

285
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,000
Even you betrayed me.

286
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:09,960
Luke.

287
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,760
Thank you, Luke.

288
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,080
We'll start a new life together.

289
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:07,280
Here's some warm water.

290
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:17,200
Sun Yu.

291
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,360
I didn't get promoted.

292
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:29,320
I prepared for so long.

293
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,120
I really thought I'd win.

294
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,040
But I lost.

295
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:38,400
I…

296
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:43,880
I…

297
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,640
I let Zhu down

298
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,520
after everything he did for me.

299
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,480
Tao, don't scare me.

300
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,600
Promise me you won't do anything silly.

301
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,480
You know that.

302
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,280
I can't lose another friend. You hear me?

303
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,360
Don't cry. I can't handle it when you cry.

304
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:25,640
Please don't cry.

305
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,520
Please don't cry.

306
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:43,320
Take this.

307
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,960
My company's doing great now.

308
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,640
I'd sincerely like to invite you
to be our Vice President.

309
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,600
Once we secure Series C funding,
we'll expand into the south.

310
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:08,320
With your ability, you could be
an executive at any company.

311
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:10,560
Can I still steal you away?

312
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:17,560
I'll have HR talk to you
about the salary, alright?

313
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:19,800
No more crying.

314
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:24,240
Don't worry.

315
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:26,320
I'm okay.

316
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,000
I just

317
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:31,200
broke up.

318
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,560
I haven't gotten over it yet. I…

319
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:40,600
It…

320
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:43,880
It hurts.

321
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:49,200
MOM

322
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,720
<i>Tao, when are you taking leave?</i>

323
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,680
<i>Your dad told me not to tell you,</i>

324
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,280
<i>but he fell downstairs a few days ago.</i>

325
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,640
<i>He broke a bone.</i>

326
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,840
<i>He keeps saying he wants to see you.</i>

327
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,720
<i>Can you take a few days off</i>

328
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,840
<i>and come home early?</i>

329
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:05,080
<i>If you're too busy, then forget it.</i>

330
00:34:27,639 --> 00:34:29,080
Got it, Luke.

331
00:34:58,240 --> 00:35:00,880
- Where are you going?
- To hand in my resignation.

332
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:29,200
Luke.

333
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:35,800
That's fast.

334
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:37,320
Are you leaving for the US next week?

335
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,680
The position has been vacant.

336
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,720
They want me there early to take over.

337
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:43,480
See you.

338
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,120
RESIGNATION FORM, SHANG ZHITAO

339
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:51,080
Flora, there'll be another
Specialist selection next year.

340
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,800
I'll do my best to help you get it.

341
00:36:59,240 --> 00:37:00,720
Thank you, Tracy,

342
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,040
but I'm not leaving because of that.

343
00:37:05,720 --> 00:37:06,880
You don't need to thank me.

344
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:08,800
If anyone deserves thanks,

345
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,400
it's you,

346
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:14,160
for all your hard work
and perseverance over the years.

347
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:18,440
I still want to thank you.

348
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,880
Thank you for helping me
and encouraging me.

349
00:37:26,240 --> 00:37:28,520
I've already bought my ticket home.

350
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:30,600
Please sign it for me.

351
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:33,760
Flora.

352
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,800
I hired you myself.

353
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:43,720
I've watched you work hard
and earn everything you have today.

354
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:45,520
I'm proud of you.

355
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,800
So hearing you resign,

356
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,720
I really hate to see you go.

357
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:53,880
I hope you'll think it over.

358
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,160
Not just for yourself,
but also for your career,

359
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:00,800
and Luke too.

360
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:13,440
I… I heard from Lumi
that Luke's going to the US.

361
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,760
At my level, I don't think my resignation
needs his approval.

362
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:21,680
Tracy.

363
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,280
Just help me one last time.

364
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:27,800
Please sign it.

365
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,360
Something happened at home.

366
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:31,840
I have to go back.

367
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,040
Alright.

368
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:02,520
Thank you, Tracy.

369
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,800
Your first rotation
is with Business Division One.

370
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:23,640
You can sit here.

371
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,800
Lumi, I'm Shang Zhitao.

372
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:27,960
My English name is Flora.

373
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:30,080
<i>Since Lime hired me,</i>

374
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,160
<i>I believe I have something of value.</i>

375
00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:36,400
<i>Being able to join the world's top</i>
<i>advertising agency and broaden my horizons</i>

376
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,560
<i>is both an honor and a stroke of luck.</i>

377
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,480
<i>I'll work hard and earn my place here.</i>

378
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,440
<i>Goodbye, Lime.</i>

379
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:10,840
Have some water.

380
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,000
Thanks.

381
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,680
Do either of you
have Zhu's family's contact?

382
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:20,320
Why?

383
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:22,800
I still owe him money.

384
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,160
I might as well tell you now.

385
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,960
The money my ex-wife and I used
to buy the apartment

386
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:31,960
was borrowed from Zhu.

387
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,120
He told me not to tell you.

388
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:36,920
He said he wanted to give you two a home.

389
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,120
But before you could enjoy it for long,
the family fell apart.

390
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:52,400
One of you is heading south,

391
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,080
and the other is going back home.

392
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:55,800
So I thought

393
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,760
while the housing market was still good,
I'd sell the apartment.

394
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,280
He's gone now,
but I still owe it to his family.

395
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,880
If you sell the apartment,
where will you live?

396
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,400
Me? I got promoted.

397
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,400
The company's giving me a dorm,
so I'll save on rent.

398
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:14,240
From now on,

399
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,200
call me Deputy Product Manager
of the Marketing Department.

400
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:21,360
You got promoted.
Dinner's on you then, Lei?

401
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:22,840
Of course.

402
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,880
Let's go somewhere expensive then.
Same as always.

403
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:26,720
Works for me.

404
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,680
When I get back home,
I'm changing my phone number.

405
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:37,880
The day I call you again
will be the day I have truly started over.

406
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:43,720
We'll all be doing better.

407
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:51,120
Before you go,

408
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:52,840
let's take one last photo.

409
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:54,720
Sure. Let's take one.

410
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:57,400
Let's…

411
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,240
- Let's take one with this.
- Okay.

412
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:12,560
I'll go get the car.

413
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,360
- Thank you, Lei.
- Don't mention it.

414
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,000
Open the trunk.

415
00:43:34,720 --> 00:43:38,160
Tonight, I'm cooking for you guys.

416
00:43:38,240 --> 00:43:40,520
I just learned a new dish.
Lightning Five Whips!

417
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,120
- How is that?
- That's the name of a dish?

418
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,760
Tao. Tao.

419
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:49,960
We're leaving. Get in.

420
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:51,520
Here.

421
00:43:53,720 --> 00:43:54,560
Hop in.

422
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,280
TIANTONG DONGYUAN

423
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,520
TIANTONGYUAN GYMNASIUM

424
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:01,880
TIANTONG RENHE TCM HOSPITAL

425
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:07,360
Tao,

426
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,120
take good care of yourself
when you get home.

427
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:13,760
Call me, okay?

428
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,280
Yeah. Take care, Tao.

429
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:18,520
If anyone gives you a hard time,

430
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:19,760
call me right away.

431
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:21,440
I'll fly over and beat them up.

432
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:24,880
Alright.

433
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:27,640
I have your word on that.

434
00:44:27,720 --> 00:44:28,560
You do.

435
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:06,800
LUMI

436
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,360
<i>I'm going to miss you, Lumi.</i>

437
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,680
SHANG ZHITAO: I'M GOING TO MISS YOU, LUMI

438
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:23,360
<i>I hate goodbye.</i>

439
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:27,280
<i>Shang Zhitao, you heartless little thing.</i>

440
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:43,400
<i>Shang Zhitao, you'd better live well.</i>

441
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,000
<i>Could I have another osmanthus milk?</i>

442
00:46:03,720 --> 00:46:07,960
LUAN NIAN

443
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:22,480
LUAN NIAN

444
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:26,640
<i>Thank you for these past six years.</i>

445
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:29,920
<i>All the best.</i>

446
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,840
LUAN NIAN

447
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,320
{\an8}BLOCK THIS CALLER

448
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:57,840
<i>This isn't running away.</i>

449
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,160
<i>It is a grand retreat.</i>

450
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:07,880
<i>Because I want to give myself</i>
<i>another possibility.</i>

451
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:15,240
{\an8}BEIJING TO HARBIN

452
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:18,240
<i>Goodbye,</i>

453
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:20,360
<i>Beijing.</i>

454
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:49,360
Shang Zhitao.

455
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,360
Are these all limited editions?

456
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:55,960
Not bad.

457
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:57,960
Lime has treated you well
these past years.

458
00:48:00,720 --> 00:48:04,560
The company has that year-end flea market.

459
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,840
I'm leaving, so I won't make it.

460
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:08,600
Help me sell these.

461
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:10,080
Half price to our colleagues.

462
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:12,840
Then we'll split the money.

463
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:14,160
Just get rid of them quickly.

464
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:16,400
You didn't buy these yourself, did you?

465
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,000
They were gifts from my boyfriend.

466
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:22,400
Luke bought them for you?

467
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,320
You didn't really think I couldn't tell,
did you?

468
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,880
You're leaving now.
I don't have to pretend anymore.

469
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,160
It's all over.

470
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:39,240
I'm leaving

471
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:42,920
Beijing.

472
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:47,040
Why?

473
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:51,560
My dad hurt his leg.

474
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:53,960
People always say,

475
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,040
"When your parents are alive,
don't live too far away."

476
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:58,960
I've been chasing this dream for years.

477
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,160
I'm tired. I want to go home.

478
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,640
I've already arranged for Luke
to be taken to Harbin.

479
00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:09,960
From now on,
he's officially a Northeastern pup.

480
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:16,040
You're really giving up
everything you've built in Beijing?

481
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:18,640
Do you have no regrets?

482
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:35,480
Thinking about it now, career growth,

483
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,600
double the salary,
none of it really matters.

484
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:43,960
I don't need to prove myself
anymore to anyone.

485
00:49:44,720 --> 00:49:48,720
I think being with my parents
is what really matters.

486
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:54,480
You've had an epiphany.

487
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:01,760
Screw this job.

488
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,680
I wish you all the best. Shang Zhitao.

489
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,280
If you ever need anything,
you can always come to me.

490
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:10,600
Okay?

491
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:13,240
If anyone bullies you, I'll beat them up.

492
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:19,800
Enough with the sad stuff.
What should we eat today?

493
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:23,160
My treat. Deal?

494
00:50:23,240 --> 00:50:25,040
We'll meet again. I promise.
