SAY NO TO PIRACY, SUPPORT ORIGINALS

ADAPTED FROM THE EARLY SPRING ON JJWXC.NET AUTHOR: GU NIANG BIE KU

Not bad.

-Show me. -Have a look.

Okay. Let's see.

These photos turned out so well.

Don't you think so?

Thank you for the past six years all the best.

This one's nice too.

Mom, is today some special occasion?

What occasion?

It's the wedding anniversary of your dad and me.

Hello.

The number you've dialed is not in service.

Please check the number and try again.

What's wrong? Is anything bothering you?

Nothing.

Say, when are you arranging for us to meet Shang Zhitao?

She's from Harbin, isn't she?

How about we fly to Harbin

and meet her parents during the Chinese New Year?

Once we've met,

we can get the wedding arrangements underway.

We've broken up.

What?

I told you. It's all messed up.

Don't listen to your dad.

Nian, is it because you're moving to the US for work,

and she isn't happy with that?

No. Don't worry about it.

Silly boy, be nicer to her.

Don't be so grouchy.

If I remember correctly, you've been together for years.

You have to cherish her. Do you understand, Nian?

I know.

THE NUMBER YOU DIALED IS NOT IN SERVICE

Luke.

Weren't you leaving for the US? When do you fly?

Where's your mentee?

She resigned.

Resigned?

How does it look?

Flora sold it to me for half price.

She was selling all her designer bags at the company's flea market.

She never said where she was going.

She changed her number.

She only said she'd get in touch someday.

I want to know

why no one reported a key employee's resignation to me.

You're talking about Flora's resignation.

I just want to know why the key employee's resignation

never came across my desk.

You made the rules.

Anyone below Specialist level only needs approval from the department head.

Flora wasn't a Specialist.

Besides, you're transferring to the US.

HR in China isn't your responsibility anymore.

You knew about us.

Shouldn't you have told me?

I tried to convince her to stay.

But she told me there was nothing between you anymore.

So tell me, what position was I supposed to take?

This suicide video

has been making the rounds.

They say the man jumped because the pressure became too much.

This person

seems to be Flora's friend.

Sun Yu and I are catching a midnight movie later.

Is Sun Yuanzhu not going?

I lost my best friend.

I lost the competition I should've won.

What's the victim's name?

Out of respect for the victim's privacy,

they didn't release the name.

I heard the surname was Sun.

Where's Shang Zhitao?

She left.

She left quickly and decisively.

She even changed her phone number.

But she said she'd get in touch with me later.

Hello?

Help me find someone.

Shang Zhitao.

She quit Lime without a word.

Shang Zhitao has probably decided to move back home.

You're an adult.

If you say it's over,

then don't ever start it again.

I never will.

Luke.

Grateful pup.

You should go with her.

HARBIN

OLD COUPLE'S TAVERN

Slow down.

Mom said you were hopping around.

Now look at you.

Even young people need time to recover from an injury like this.

A broken bone takes a hundred days.

I'm in great shape.

Other people need three to five months.

I'll be back on my feet in two months.

Oh, stop bluffing.

He's so full of himself, there's no cure for it.

Just pipe down.

You have to listen to the doctor's advice.

I know.

Your mom said you're staying after Chinese New Year

and finding a job in Harbin.

What happened in Beijing?

Weren't things going so well?

What's wrong?

I can take care of your dad.

You don't have to come home.

You're young.

This is when you should be out chasing your dreams.

Your dad's always bragging about

how amazing his daughter is.

That you're doing so well in Beijing.

We can't hold you back.

We've talked about it.

If we can't keep the tavern running,

we'll just move into a retirement home.

Come on.

Why are you going to a retirement home?

I'm fine. Beijing was fine too.

It's just that

I've moved from Harbin to Nanjing,

then Nanjing to Beijing.

I'm tired.

I want to come home. I want to spend time with you two.

Aren't you happy I'm back?

I have my friends here.

My classmates are here. You two are here, too.

And my favorite snow.

Alright. As long as you've thought it through.

My sweetheart is free to go wherever she wants

and do whatever she wants.

You're always on my side, Dad.

You're our only daughter.

Who else would we love?

Dad, Mom. Don't worry.

I'll buy a little place here and start my own business.

Have faith in me.

No matter where I am, I'll do just fine.

Of course. My girl's amazing.

Look at Mom.

Look at her.

NORWAY

It's my first time seeing him like this.

He really fell hard for her.

I figured that out long ago.

Have you ever seen him get into a fight over a woman?

He even flew back overnight from overseas on New Year's Eve

just to see Ms. Shang.

Is that the aurora?

It is.

It's beautiful.

Shang Zhitao.

Shall we go see the aurora next year?

Sure.

I'll go wherever you go.

Luan Nian, don't be sad.

I want to praise you.

I like you.

I like every path you've chosen.

I like going on adventures with you.

I like all the beautiful places we've seen.

Because I saw them with you.

Hello.

The number you've dialed is not in service.

Please check the number and try again.

Hello?

Shang Zhitao.

I'm watching the aurora.

Do you remember?

We said we'd see them together.

But you disappeared.

It's okay.

I'll share them with you.

You have to come see them someday.

They're really beautiful.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

There are so many things I'm sorry for.

I know I'm a mess.

I don't deserve to be loved.

I just wanted to tell you,

I miss you.

I miss you so much.

I love you.

I love you.

Hello. The number you've dialed is not in service.

Please check the number and try again.

Luke,

what's the point of calling a dead number over and over?

If you miss her, care about her,

go find her.

Book a flight.

She threw away everything that had to do with me.

Forget it.

Let's go get some sleep.

Maybe when I broke up with Xin Zhaozhou,

I was too young.

Back then, I could let go easily.

But this time,

I finally understood what it means to be cut by a dull knife.

The breakup itself was quick

and clean.

But once it sank in,

I'd think of him at most ordinary moments.

And suddenly,

my heart would feel empty.

A balloon in hand, happiness in my heart.

Balloons for sale!

Tough balloons that won't pop easily.

Hello?

Ms. Shang.

Your company registration has been completed.

Alright.

I'd like to try a hiring experiment.

I don't need you to have a lot of experience.

As long as you're willing to work hard and fight alongside me.

We'll probably be traveling a lot.

It won't be easy.

How does 7,000 a month sound?

Seven thousand? I'd love that.

Boss. You're my boss from now on.

Why don't I start today?

I've got nothing to do if I go home anyway.

Looking forward to it, Fu Dong.

Likewise.

Alright. Got it.

Boss.

Okay.

I bought the car.

Here's the key,

the transfer papers, and the inspection report.

It's second-hand,

but I think it'll last us another three years.

By then, you can drive, and I'll ride shotgun.

We'll take on the world together.

Why am I the one driving?

I don't have a license.

I'll get one soon.

Take care.

Take care, Mr. Liu.

Another deal done.

Boss, how do you know everything?

You're so cool.

It's New Year's Eve.

A few of the new hires and I are getting together tonight.

Want to join us?

You guys pick whatever you want to eat.

Bring me the receipt later.

You're the best, boss!

Come on. Go check it out.

-Go on. -Pick something good.

-Balloons! -Mister, I'd like one balloon.

Here you go.

Hello?

Sun Yu.

Are you better now?

I am.

Let me give you an update.

I bought a place.

Just finished renovating it.

I had a huge bookshelf

and put all the books Sun Yuanzhu gave me on it.

Oh, right.

I also started an event planning company.

I've got a few employees.

An event planning company?

I'll have our marketing manager contact you.

We need new suppliers for some offline events

in your province.

Sounds good.

So,

do you want to come visit me in Harbin?

Sure. Works for me.

Hello?

Lumi, it's me.

Want to come to Harbin for a few days?

Send me the address.

I'll head over in the next couple of days.

THE ONES WHO LEAVE AND THE ONES WHO STAY

THOSE WHO LEFT, THOSE WHO STAYED

OLD COUPLE'S TAVERN

My last boss was always saying,

"Fudong, you're so sloppy."

I'm sloppy?

His business wasn't worthy of my talents.

It was all office politics.

But after joining Boss Tao,

I finally understood

what world-class ad planning looks like.

None of our clients

has been dissatisfied with any of my boss's proposals.

Of course,

I know I'm still lacking.

-Well. -After all, I don't have much experience.

But you know what my boss always says?

"I'm not afraid you don't know.

I'm only afraid you won't learn."

Come on. Here's to my boss.

Keep it up, young man.

Now that's the right attitude. Shang Zhitao has really grown.

Brother-in-law! What are you doing here?

You're here too?

I brought some colleagues for lunch.

We'll head over first.

What brings you here?

Not busy today?

You're here too.

Let me introduce you.

This is my best friend from Beijing.

Xing Yi.

-This is Lumi. -Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you too. -I'm Xing Yi.

I looked after her when she was in Beijing.

Go ahead and eat.

-I'll check on my colleagues. -Sure. Go ahead.

Okay.

They call him brother-in-law? Who's he?

He's my middle school classmate.

Fu Dong was just joking around.

He’s just messing around.

Xing Yi. Mr. Xing.

He's a big shot around here.

Long story short,

he has introduced us to a lot of great suppliers.

He's taken really good care of my boss…

I mean, my boss's tavern.

He's just teasing.

I have to head back to Beijing later.

Don't miss me too much.

Come on. Fill my glass.

Since I'm here in the great Northeast,

let's raise a toast to Boss Shang.

And

to Xing… Mr. Xing.

-A toast to Mr. Xing. -Cheers.

-A toast to Mr. Xing. -Cheers.

-Come on. -Why are you drinking tea?

I'm driving later. Can't drink.

-I'll drink tea instead. -Come on.

Let's drink till we drop.

No problem.

Alright. I'd better get going.

Text me next time.

I'll take you out for dinner sometime.

Just the two of us.

Okay.

Don't come out. It's chilly.

-Bye. -Bye-bye.

Why did you come down, Mom? I can clean everything myself.

What's going on between you and Xing Yi?

Hold your horses.

Don't start imagining things. We've known each other for too long.

Look at you.

Well, you're not getting any younger.

If things aren't happening with Xing Yi,

you're going on blind dates starting tomorrow.

Mom.

Do you only think I'm doing well if I get married?

That's not what I mean.

I just mean

you haven't gotten over your last relationship.

I read online that the best way to get over an old relationship

is to start a new one.

Right?

No matter what,

whether it was good or bad, you've broken up.

Now you have to keep loving life

and love the person who deserves your love.

Don't you think?

I just don't like blind dates.

It has nothing to do with him.

Love is all about fate.

Maybe I'll get married. Maybe I won't.

For now,

I just want to get to know someone slowly and let things happen naturally.

Does that sound okay?

Okay.

Then your dad and I will save up a little more for you.

-Alright? -Alright.

We'll save together.

Leave them. I'll carry them.

Come in.

Boss, I heard you're back.

I have something to tell you.

Go on.

I've got a project.

You might want to take a look.

What kind of project needs my attention?

Bring it to your boss, Will.

Here's the thing.

I've got an international summit for a beer brand.

They want an offline event.

I picked Harbin,

but Will is against it.

I think Harbin has huge potential.

It's worth investing in.

I printed out the supplier rankings.

I think the top one deserves a closer look.

HARBIN BEER INTERNATIONAL SUMMIT SUPPLIER OVERVIEW

SHANG ZHITAO

HARBIN QINGTAO CREATIVE EVENT STUDIO

Leave the list here. I'll look at it myself.

You got it.

Lumi.

I'm in on this project from start to finish.

You bet.

Lumi, long time no see.

-Fu Dong. -You've lost weight.

Nah.

This is our boss, Luke.

Hello, Mr. Luan.

I'm Ms. Shang's assistant.

My name is Fu Dong.

Where's Ms. Shang?

The summit is around the corner.

She's been working around the clock these past few days.

She insists on handling a lot of things herself.

She's probably at the venue now.

When can we see her?

I'll give her a call and see. Give me a minute.

Why don't we check into the hotel and get some rest in the meantime?

If you need anything during your stay, just let me know.

Alright.

Lumi.

What's the plan for tomorrow?

Everything is set.

I also arranged a few local media outlets.

Think of it as my gift to you.

By the way, the day after is all arranged too.

I'll go over everything again tomorrow night.

Come see me when you're done.

I can't meet with you today. Go enjoy yourself.

Tomorrow, I'll give Lime the most elegant and luxurious summit.

I believe you.

She's not coming.

Tao.

Lumi.

Great work.

I was watching the rehearsal for quite a while just now.

Where's the host?

I'm the host.

Stop kidding.

I'm not kidding. I'm the host.

It's an international summit,

broadcast live across five countries in three languages.

Can you handle that?

That's exactly why.

Hiring someone from Beijing would've cost me 20,000.

I figured I might as well do it myself. I can save the money.

I'm telling you,

I wanted this summit to be held in Harbin.

Those are all my biggest clients.

Don't embarrass me.

Have faith in me, okay?

-Really? -Of course.

I've got to get ready.

Long time no see.

FROM THE SNOW CITY THE WORLD IN PURSUIT

Boss.

Lime's Mr. Luan wants an iced Americano.

We only have hot coffee.

The event's about to start.

Where are we supposed to get an iced Americano now?

He's pretty demanding.

What should I do then? How do we deal with him?

It's too late to buy one.

Just apologize and tell him we don't have it.

Will that work?

Didn't you always say we should meet every client request?

Knowing when to say no to unreasonable client demands

is also part of your job.

INTERNATIONAL BEER INDUSTRY SUMMIT

Good afternoon, friends.

The northern land is covered in snow,

but the heart burns with warmth.

Good afternoon, friends.

The northern land is covered in snow,

but the heart burns with warmth.

Lime thanks everyone for joining us

in this ice and snow adventure.

Lime thanks everyone for joining us

in this ice and snow adventure.

-Welcome to Harbin. -Xing Yi, what are you doing here?

Tao asked me to help out.

The owner of this hotel is a friend of mine.

I study English every weekend.

I have to keep learning so I can be worthy of being part of Lime.

As expected of my mentee.

She's a genius.

She's not just a genius.

She's also the hardest-working person I've met.

Now, please welcome Lime's Global Senior President, Luke,

to the stage to say a few words.

You did a good job.

Don't tell me you've learned Italian too.

Stop teasing me.

-Was it that bad? -My car’s parked in the basement.

It was great.

-You scared me, though. -Tao.

Drink your medicine.

Thanks.

Why are you taking Chinese medicine?

My hormones are a little out of balance.

I'm trying to get them back on track.

Get some rest.

Once everything wraps up here, let's go grab some barbecue.

We'll talk later.

-I've got to go. -You… But he…

-You… -Let's go.

Mr. Xing.

Are you leaving?

I apologize if I've missed anything.

Aren't you cold? You're wearing so little.

Not at all.

Do you still love Shang Zhitao or not?

Is that even the point anymore?

Can't you see she's more ruthless than I am?

Looks like Dong's boss is about to have a boyfriend.

Apparently, my friend is about to have a boyfriend too.

Do you have her home address?

No, I don't have it.

But I've already sent you

the address of her parents' tavern.

Do you know

why you haven't been fired all these years?

-Why? -Because you're smart.

I'm more than just smart.

If the mountain won't come to me,

I'll go to the mountain.

We should all keep learning.

Learn English and French,

and learn how to love.
