1
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:08,920
SAY NO TO PIRACY, SUPPORT ORIGINALS
2
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:50,680
Morning.
3
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,560
I need to talk to you.
4
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,120
They said you rushed out
suddenly yesterday.
5
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,400
I didn't dare call you,
and you went quiet.
6
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:05,320
So,
7
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,199
this morning, when I ran into Zhao Heng,
8
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,280
I asked him how you were doing.
9
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,480
Why didn't you dare call me?
10
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,080
I was afraid you'd misinterpret it.
11
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,880
I should've told you before I joined
12
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,680
the Celestial Insurance project team.
13
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,720
But I worried things wouldn't
come across clearly over a call,
14
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,200
so I wanted to talk to you in person.
15
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,280
Turns out Ma Ke told you already.
16
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,320
I wouldn't misinterpret it.
17
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,360
It's not my personal project.
18
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,400
Don't talk to me like that.
19
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:38,560
So let's talk work.
20
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:40,600
Ma Ke asked me to help you
get up to speed on the project.
21
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:43,880
You know my family situation.
22
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:45,480
My dad keeps assuming
23
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,360
I landed the Ande Energy project
only because of his connections.
24
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,920
That day, when you said right here
25
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,960
that digital finance
was the next big trend,
26
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,560
I wanted to give it a shot too.
27
00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:59,760
Unexpectedly, Mr. Pi assigned me
to the Celestial Insurance project team.
28
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,000
He said since we get along well,
we'd make good partners.
29
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,240
So,
30
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,520
I never meant to steal your project.
31
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,520
Still, you didn't turn it down.
32
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,040
True. I didn't.
33
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,040
Because I saw it as a chance
to compete with you fairly.
34
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,240
I didn't want to give up.
35
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,200
I want to prove my ability
36
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,640
to my dad through this.
37
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:24,760
You're right.
38
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,680
As I switched projects midway,
39
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,880
there's no reason
you can't join in halfway.
40
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:31,880
You're not mad anymore?
41
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,520
It's no big deal.
42
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,720
After those sarcastic remarks
I made, I let it go.
43
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,760
Then friendship first, competition second.
44
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,080
Finally wrapped it up.
45
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,720
Come on, let's grab something to eat.
46
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:38,760
All done?
47
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,040
I'm passing. I've got
a gym appointment at 9:30 p.m.
48
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,040
I mean that poser.
49
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,200
After we cleared the air,
I can be genuine friends with him.
50
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:48,480
That's great.
51
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:49,400
Eat more,
52
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,400
but don't put on weight.
53
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:58,680
Fine, don't eat then. I can eat alone.
54
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,120
Boss, just one.
55
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,840
One bowl of beef noodles.
56
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,040
If my presence here bothers you,
I can leave right away.
57
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,440
I don't own this place.
58
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,760
Right. One alcohol-free beer, too.
59
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:19,920
Okay.
60
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,120
What's wrong? In a bad mood?
61
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,080
No.
62
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,800
Oh, thanks.
63
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,520
Why aren't you prying
any further this time?
64
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,560
I'm done asking.
65
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,200
Don't want you to think
I'm always pestering you.
66
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:49,080
I invited Xu Chi out for dinner,
67
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,480
and she said she was hitting the gym.
68
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,200
But I just saw her heading home,
not to the gym.
69
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,120
You…
70
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,240
I think she means jogging with Ye Xinzhi.
71
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,720
They're neighbors. It makes sense
that they go the same way.
72
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,280
How do you know that?
73
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:04,280
I…
74
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,560
I saw them jogging in the morning.
75
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,200
But I just feel like something's wrong.
76
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:11,160
What's wrong?
77
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,240
Xu Chi and I
are on the same project team now.
78
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,560
Logically, we work together
more than before.
79
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,760
She cooperates and shares everything
with me as she should, flawlessly.
80
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:19,840
But…
81
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:23,960
For example, just now,
82
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,440
I invited her to dinner,
and she turned me down,
83
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,720
telling me when, where,
and with whom in full detail.
84
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,640
Yet I feel like something's wrong.
85
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:32,600
Super business-like, huh?
86
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:36,480
Ms. Bu,
87
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,800
it's my great honor
to sit and talk with you.
88
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,560
I hope I can play the host
89
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,760
for you sometime in the future.
90
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,280
She sounds like this, right?
91
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:47,200
Why would she act like that?
92
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,440
There's nothing strange in this.
93
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,640
Since you don't treat her as a friend,
why would she treat you as one?
94
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,440
That's nonsense! When
95
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,000
haven't I treated her as a friend?
96
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:01,920
The way you're acting now
can easily send the wrong signal.
97
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,200
Before joining the team,
I laid out every detail
98
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:08,480
and background to her clearly.
99
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:09,680
So you mean
100
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,960
once you explained everything to her,
101
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,480
she has to accept it all, right?
102
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,480
Think you're some rich young lady?
103
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,920
Wait. You actually are one.
104
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:27,840
What are you doing?
105
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:29,680
Are you really going to confront her?
106
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,440
I need to figure out why.
107
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,840
She is my only friend.
I can't hold it in. Give it back to me.
108
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,200
You want the truth?
109
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:36,400
I'll tell you.
110
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,160
You've got low EQ.
111
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:39,760
What did you say?
112
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,200
-Say that again.
-Is what I said wrong?
113
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:44,600
Look at how you act.
114
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,120
You hold your head high,
all proud, like a swan,
115
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,760
and you blow up over the smallest problem.
116
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,440
That's low EQ.
117
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,080
No wonder your dad
has grown to dislike you over the years.
118
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,080
You love Zhang's Crispy Pastries,
119
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,600
and this little brat
knocked them all over.
120
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,400
What little brat?
121
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,000
That's your brother.
122
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,680
Do you even act like an older sister?
123
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,080
Bad Tianna! Bad Tianna!
124
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,560
No wonder after over two decades,
you've got no real friends
125
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,200
except Xu Chi.
126
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:15,400
Go on.
127
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,600
You call her your best friend, right?
128
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,440
She knows you live at Bairui Apartments.
129
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,880
She knows your life goal
is to earn your dad's approval
130
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,480
and take over Siwei Group.
131
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,000
When you're upset,
132
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,120
she drops all her work
and stays up late drinking with you.
133
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,800
But what about you?
Do you know where she lives?
134
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,880
Do you know what her life goal is?
135
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,679
Where were you when she was upset?
136
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,080
She stays at the 9 Days Inn over there.
137
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:39,880
A place of just over 20 square meters.
138
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,000
Why did she join Maxmise?
139
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,760
To earn more money
to buy back her mother's old apartment.
140
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,280
The down payment is over a million.
That's exactly what your car cost.
141
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:51,800
How do you know that?
142
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:54,200
Did she tell you?
143
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,640
She didn't.
144
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,080
At her workstation
145
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,480
is the real estate flyer
for that old apartment.
146
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,320
Feels like
147
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:06,760
even I, her regular colleague,
148
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,920
know more about her than you,
149
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:11,280
her supposed bestie.
150
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,120
I only got this car
the day before yesterday.
151
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,520
You memorized my license plate so soon?
152
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,680
Didn't you say you were broke?
153
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,480
-Then why buy a car?
-Easy there.
154
00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:37,880
Every man needs his own car.
155
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,600
Mine is a used car.
156
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,280
Sure, I came from a poor family,
157
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:44,840
but I get by fine now.
158
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,080
After all, Maxmise pays pretty well.
159
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,240
So, you actually care about me.
160
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,280
I don't care about you.
Why are you following me?
161
00:09:56,560 --> 00:09:58,120
To make sure you get home safe.
162
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,160
You're in a bad mood,
and it's late at night.
163
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,280
If anything dangerous happens on the way,
I can rush over and play hero.
164
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,040
Nothing bad happening
165
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:06,240
would be ideal.
166
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,080
But you'd notice me quietly
167
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,160
watching over you from behind.
168
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,040
Maybe you'd be touched
and give me a chance.
169
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,600
You're being awfully blunt.
170
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:19,160
Haven't I always been
171
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:21,120
a true rogue in your eyes?
172
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,440
I know exactly what you're thinking.
173
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,120
You're thinking that money
174
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,080
would be enough
to turn your whole family's fortunes
175
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,480
around, aren't you?
176
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:32,840
I don't have that much value to offer,
so wake up!
177
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,880
Go on. I'm giving you a chance.
178
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,000
No. My beat-up car
179
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,640
is way too shabby
for anything adult-rated.
180
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,600
How about we go somewhere else?
181
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:58,680
You don't have the guts.
182
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,960
With all that tough talk just now,
183
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,040
you were trying
184
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,680
to get my attention,
just like before, right?
185
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,240
I won't buy
186
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,280
a single word of it.
187
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,000
Xu Chi is nothing like you.
188
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,080
Never say that men have no guts.
189
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,120
Believe it or not,
I could do something right now.
190
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,560
I don't. Yes.
191
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:45,680
And one more thing.
192
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,400
In my car,
193
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,160
don't say anyone else's name,
194
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:53,640
male or female,
195
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,160
or I'll get jealous.
196
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:04,680
Alright.
197
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,080
Fasten your seatbelt.
I'll drive you home and then leave.
198
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,160
Okay.
199
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,040
Wait.
200
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,560
Am I really that terrible as a person?
201
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,400
Not exactly terrible.
202
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,080
You're used to being on top,
203
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,600
so you don't know how
to get along with people like us.
204
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:29,760
People like you?
205
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:31,240
Yeah.
206
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,480
Ordinary folks like Xu Chi and me.
207
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,680
I grew up from a village to a small town.
208
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:38,640
She's half-orphaned.
209
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:40,400
On the surface,
210
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,200
we look polished, working in the CBD,
211
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,200
earning decent salaries.
212
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,360
But the truth is,
we have to grind for over a decade
213
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,280
to reach the starting line
you were born into.
214
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,040
Take switching project teams, for example.
215
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,840
She has to get Sha Sha's approval,
216
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,400
yet you made requests
to the partner directly.
217
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:00,920
No.
218
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,400
But Xu Chi told me she is confident
219
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,840
and doesn't care about
my resource advantages.
220
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,680
As I switch projects midway,
221
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,880
there's no reason
you can't join in halfway.
222
00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:12,960
And we both compete on our own merits.
223
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,600
I want to see through this opportunity
224
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:17,760
which one of us
will be Maxmise's Rookie of the Year.
225
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,000
At your age, you still buy into this?
226
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:22,600
Young lady,
227
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,600
whether in friendship or romance,
228
00:13:26,680 --> 00:13:28,480
a disparity in roots
makes for a bitter struggle.
229
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,560
We grind for over a decade
230
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,600
just not to envy your background.
231
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,000
But that doesn't mean we won't admire it.
232
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,840
Regardless of your bad temper
or low EQ day-to-day,
233
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,640
once you cross someone's bottom line,
there will be no turning back.
234
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,680
What bottom line of Xu Chi did I cross?
235
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,600
Did I steal her resources
236
00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:54,320
or go to Mr. Pi directly for materials?
237
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,920
Stealing resources is trivial.
238
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,120
If it were me, there's one thing
that would break my heart.
239
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,400
You never gave her a heads-up
240
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,240
before you acted.
241
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:06,800
-I have to hang up.
-Wait.
242
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:07,640
What is it?
243
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,520
Never mind. I'll tell you some other time.
244
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:14,960
It's not that you forgot.
245
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,200
You never thought about it.
246
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,440
It's not that you don't trust her.
247
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,920
Subconsciously, you never
took her into account.
248
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,880
That's what I meant, the saddest part
from the start.
249
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:29,480
You never saw her as a friend.
250
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,600
Fine, then there's no turning back.
251
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:45,320
Are you leaving?
252
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,680
Someone as thin-skinned as her
doesn't deserve to be my friend.
253
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,120
Don't follow me.
254
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:27,240
What are you grinning at?
255
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:34,560
Yesterday…
256
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:35,840
Xu Chi,
257
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,280
why are you
258
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:39,760
being so fake-polite with me?
259
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:41,960
Right.
260
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,320
Chi.
261
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:44,680
Argue with her like this later.
262
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,000
Tell her…
263
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,360
Today I'm here
to apologize to you for the second time.
264
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:07,320
A,
265
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,000
I didn't consult you
before asking to join this project.
266
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,040
B,
267
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,320
I never looked into the root cause
of why you've been upset for so long.
268
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:15,280
That's my fault.
269
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,360
-You don't have to--
-Don't speak yet.
270
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,040
Other than these, I don't believe
271
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,840
I've done anything wrong to you.
272
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,360
Why didn't you tell me you were upset?
273
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,000
Even if I acted improperly,
274
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,840
that's no excuse for you
to be fake-polite with me.
275
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,000
Fine.
276
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,520
Zhao Heng said I don't care about you.
277
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,400
But you've never opened up to me, either.
278
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,160
That's just how I am.
If you don't want to tell me, I won't ask.
279
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,640
I'm giving you space. Is that so wrong?
280
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:49,280
-Tianna--
-Don't come closer.
281
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,200
Moved to hear me apologize?
282
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,120
I could've done what you do,
283
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,200
taking advantage of your emotions,
pretending to make up with you,
284
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,800
and keeping on being your polite bestie.
285
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:04,480
But I can't.
286
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,000
There's a thorn in my heart,
and I can't remove it.
287
00:17:07,079 --> 00:17:09,680
What I want is a friend
288
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,440
with full mutual trust.
289
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:12,560
I thought you were different
from everyone else.
290
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,000
Then what are you doing here?
291
00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:15,800
What… What am I doing here?
292
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,560
I'm here to tell you
293
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,720
that from now on,
in the Celestial Insurance project,
294
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,359
I will hold nothing back.
295
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,560
I'll prove I'm better
296
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,720
than you with real results.
297
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,480
Do you think
298
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,000
she acted like a kid in kindergarten?
299
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,040
When upset, she comes right up and says
she will not play with me anymore.
300
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,200
Actually, it was good advice
301
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,120
when you told me that day
to talk things out with her.
302
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,360
I used to see her as this aloof,
strong leading lady,
303
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,160
so I was trying too hard in front of her.
304
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,120
Now I realize she's just a kitten
hissing and showing its claws.
305
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:52,520
So you teased her on purpose?
306
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:53,840
Yeah.
307
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,040
But you've always outshone me.
308
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,600
Come to think of it,
we're not actually that close.
309
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,480
We've only been coworkers for six months.
310
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,280
I did help you once when you were down,
311
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:09,000
but our friendship
amounts to just a bottle of drinks.
312
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,760
You've always had no friends,
313
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,480
so out of gratitude,
314
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,640
you projected all your ideal hopes
for friendship onto me.
315
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,880
You're right. I really
316
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:20,840
don't deserve to be your friend.
317
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,120
Hiding my inferiority complex
around you has been exhausting.
318
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,200
So bring on the rivalry.
319
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,560
Let's reset everything. Be just colleagues
320
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,840
and compete all out,
so we'll have no hard feelings.
321
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,120
What do you say?
322
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,760
What do I say?
323
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:37,360
Fine.
324
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,920
I'll hold nothing back from now on.
325
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,600
I'll
326
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,920
-hold, hold…
-Hold nothing back!
327
00:18:48,120 --> 00:18:49,400
So annoying.
328
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,160
She has issued her challenge.
329
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,280
If I don't take her challenge head-on,
she'll think I'm dismissing her anger,
330
00:18:56,360 --> 00:18:57,400
and she'll fly into another fit of rage.
331
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,520
So letting her punch at thin air like this
332
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:01,640
is way more fun, right?
333
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,640
Aren't you afraid of losing to her?
334
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,920
My confidence has long been
fully restored.
335
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,520
After all, I have to live up
to all your bitter advice.
336
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,000
Besides, the Celestial Insurance project
is managed by Ma Ke.
337
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,520
Both Bu Tianna and I
are junior analysts brought in halfway.
338
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,120
Even if we go at it
339
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,280
and polish our proposals to perfection,
340
00:19:22,360 --> 00:19:24,600
the winner of our little competition
won't be promoted
341
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,640
to consulting manager, right?
342
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,600
It's such a relief
to clear the air with you.
343
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,440
No more working out of the café.
344
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:40,760
I can take a breather
345
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,000
and enjoy this amazing view.
346
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,560
No need to worry about running
into Maxmise colleagues out in public.
347
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:46,800
This is really nice.
348
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:20,560
By the way, Du will be here soon.
349
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,400
How's the data analysis
for Benyuan Digital Collectibles coming?
350
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,840
All documents have been sent,
except for one file.
351
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:33,760
Can I ask a question out of curiosity?
352
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:35,560
Are you and Du
353
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,360
planning to muscle in
on the partnership between Wen Ruosen
354
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:39,320
and Benyuan Digital Collectibles?
355
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:43,240
What makes you say that?
356
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,840
The documents you had me compile
are extremely detailed.
357
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:48,520
You also asked me to draft
358
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,520
an investment prospectus
for the digital collectible gallery,
359
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,560
run data simulations,
and conduct research.
360
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,160
Only competitors
361
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,160
would dig into another firm's
business thoroughly.
362
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,000
Quite the opposite.
363
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,480
Our goal is to make
this partnership happen.
364
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,000
Alright.
365
00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:11,160
I'd better work
on the documents in the hotel,
366
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:12,680
so I won't get in your and Du's way.
367
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:14,280
Aren't you going to ask why?
368
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,720
You'll tell me when you're ready.
369
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,200
Could you check your phone?
Just check your--
370
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,120
Ms. Xu is here too.
371
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,680
If you had told me she was here,
I wouldn't have parked so fast.
372
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:38,800
I could've driven around a bit longer.
373
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,080
No, it's fine. I'm leaving now.
I won't hold up your meeting.
374
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,200
I'll send you the data
in about half an hour.
375
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:44,120
-See you.
-Off I go.
376
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:45,920
Wait, don't go. Come back.
377
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:47,760
What data?
378
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:51,920
Ye, what's wrong with you?
379
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,080
Look how hot it is outside.
380
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,840
You're sending her out to work on data.
381
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,240
Have you got any decency?
382
00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:59,600
-I'm fine.
-No, no need.
383
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,360
You stay here and work. Alright?
384
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,880
We can talk right here.
It's nothing urgent.
385
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,600
You won't be a bother. You work here.
386
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,400
That's settled.
387
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:12,680
It's quiet here. You can work here.
388
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:14,240
Okay.
389
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,440
He still gets photos
printed out these days.
390
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,920
What's this?
391
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:09,440
What are you staring at?
392
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,480
You've got something shady in the room,
393
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,120
and it's making you look guilty?
394
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,760
Would you stop talking nonsense?
395
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:17,960
She's a young lady.
396
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,600
She's waltzed right into your place.
You've got so many young ladies,
397
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:22,600
and I've said this
about every one of them,
398
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,680
but you defend her the most.
You keep defending her like this.
399
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,200
Believe it or not, I'll knock you out.
400
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,360
It… It… It.. It's broken!
401
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:33,440
Your laptop is fine.
402
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:34,840
-It came loose.
-It has a roll cage structure.
403
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:35,800
It came loose from the impact.
404
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:39,720
Wait.
405
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:41,720
Wait.
406
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,520
It isn't responding.
407
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:46,120
What's wrong?
408
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,760
Nothing. My hard drive…
409
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,000
Well, it's not responding.
410
00:23:52,120 --> 00:23:53,000
-Hello, support service?
-Oh my.
411
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,840
Can you repair portable hard drives?
412
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,320
-Oh no.
-It won't work?
413
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,440
This is bad. Yeah, it just fell.
414
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:00,400
Mind if I have a go?
415
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:07,600
Your laptop's USB ports are fine.
The problem must be the hard drive.
416
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,360
The support service can't fix it.
Take it to a physical store.
417
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,120
No, listen.
I'm flying to Shenzhen tomorrow morning.
418
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,320
All my roadshow materials
are stored inside this drive.
419
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,040
I'm running out of time.
What am I going to do?
420
00:24:20,120 --> 00:24:20,960
Where's your backup?
421
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,120
I didn't back this one up.
422
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,560
If it's a port issue,
423
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,120
swapping the drive's port might work.
424
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,000
Or we could try data recovery.
425
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,680
I've got all the tools back at my place.
426
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,080
I could give it a go.
Only a few hundred meters away.
427
00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:38,280
You know how to fix hard drives?
428
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,080
You're saving my life, girl.
429
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,080
Please help me. Thank you.
430
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,280
-Wait for my update.
-Thanks.
431
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,640
You somehow found a girl
who can repair hard drives.
432
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,600
You really… You…
433
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:56,480
Oh, no!
434
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,040
What's wrong?
435
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,480
All the material in there is bound
by non-disclosure agreements.
436
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,200
I… I do trust Xu Chi,
437
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,320
but I think I need to keep an eye on her.
438
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:07,560
-I'll go with you.
-No,
439
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,320
you'll go instead. You go instead.
440
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:11,880
I don't know her well.
441
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,920
But it's your portable hard drive.
How should I…
442
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,720
I'm in a panic. Stop stalling.
443
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:36,640
Who's there?
444
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:41,480
Well…
445
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,280
Du said his hard drive
446
00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:46,280
seems
447
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,280
to…
448
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,360
He is worried about the material on it.
449
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,280
-No…
-This is my fault.
450
00:25:52,360 --> 00:25:54,000
I should've brought my tools over
to your place.
451
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:54,920
Well.
452
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,120
-My bad.
-No. Would you
453
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,000
-like to come in?
-Is it alright?
454
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,040
Sure, it's just kind of messy.
455
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:07,440
DELIVERIES PLEASE LEAVE AT DOOR
TABLE ON THE LEFT
456
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,600
I only have one chair at home,
so you'll have to make do.
457
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,120
I've swapped out the ports,
458
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,160
but the laptop says it needs formatting.
459
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,560
So I'm running DiskGenius now.
460
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,440
Why do you even have these tools at home?
461
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,160
My ex-boyfriend liked DIY,
and I picked it up because it seemed fun.
462
00:26:46,120 --> 00:26:48,320
I planned to give this kit to him,
463
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:49,960
but after we broke up,
I ended up keeping it.
464
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:52,160
FILE RECOVERY, DATA SCAN
SEARCHING FOR FILES…
465
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:53,320
Almost done.
466
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,040
It's more than likely to be fine.
467
00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:11,600
I found it pretty amusing
468
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,400
seeing how panicked Du was.
469
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:14,640
You
470
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:16,840
high-flying business elites
471
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,840
are so used to working efficiently.
472
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,600
Once one link in the chain breaks down,
473
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,680
you're at a loss
and come crashing off your pedestal.
474
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,880
Yeah. You're right.
475
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,280
But spare us some dignity, please.
476
00:27:28,360 --> 00:27:29,360
Alright.
477
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,120
I promise I won't mention this to Du.
478
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:39,800
It's fixed.
479
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:42,680
Come here.
480
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:44,840
Sit right here.
481
00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:47,040
-Right.
-I…
482
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:50,520
I'm copying his material
onto another portable hard drive.
483
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,560
Keep an eye on me
484
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,480
and make sure I don't save
any of his material onto my computer.
485
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:25,240
PROGRESS: 94%
486
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,920
Okay. Mission complete.
487
00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:32,120
What a relief.
488
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,400
Remember to remind Du
to get an SSD next time.
489
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:37,800
They're much more shock-resistant.
490
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,880
And always keep multiple backups
for important data.
491
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,280
I'm only an amateur.
492
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,040
We just got lucky to fix it this time.
493
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,800
No, it's not luck.
494
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,800
You're naturally brilliant.
495
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,160
Smooth talker. Then I won't
charge you for the repair.
496
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,040
Hurry back. Du must be anxious.
497
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:02,720
-Go.
-Thanks.
498
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:09,520
Thank you.
499
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,880
We've got it! Yes!
500
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:28,880
Great! Perfect!
501
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,920
This girl is incredible.
502
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,920
Where did you find
503
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,320
such an all-round talent?
504
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:39,440
Back when we recruited interns.
505
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,200
See what great taste I've got?
506
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,640
Yeah, you're amazing. You're so great.
507
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,440
Why didn't you ask her out?
508
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,120
I want to take her out
to dinner to thank her.
509
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:49,640
She really bailed me out.
510
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:50,840
She's one of us.
511
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:52,560
There will be plenty of chances later.
512
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:54,480
What do you mean "one of us"?
513
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:56,720
I want her
514
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,000
to take part in Wen Ruosen's project.
515
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,040
Listen,
watch how you talk to her from now on.
516
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,280
I've got high hopes for her.
517
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,960
Alright. You value her that much.
518
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:07,880
What?
519
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,160
Are you grooming her
to be your right-hand?
520
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:14,240
Maybe.
521
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:16,120
You have no idea
522
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:17,880
how fast she's improving.
523
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,520
Just a few days ago,
524
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,840
she was still weeping
over her stolen project.
525
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:27,800
Getting backstabbed
526
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,720
by someone you trusted at work
527
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,240
really hurts.
528
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,360
You'll get used to it after a few times.
529
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,000
Tomorrow when you go back to the office,
don't overthink it.
530
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:38,440
Just go head-to-head with her.
531
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,840
After my little talk,
she's completely transformed.
532
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,000
She can calmly analyze
the competitive landscape
533
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,960
and skillfully handle
interpersonal relationships.
534
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,160
She's got the heiress
wrapped around her finger.
535
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:54,360
I was just at her place.
536
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,360
Despite her cramped living space,
she received me with total poise.
537
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,400
I only have one chair at home,
so you'll have to make do.
538
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,200
She gives me that impression,
539
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,400
she is neither insecure
540
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:07,760
nor does her confidence seem overt.
541
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,440
When I was her age,
I was nowhere near as composed.
542
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:14,840
That's really something.
543
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,400
For a talent like this, you know,
you need to hold onto her.
544
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,680
Bring her straight over to Candamp;C.
545
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,800
Train her personally yourself.
546
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,400
Better than having her
stuck at another company. Don't you think?
547
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:28,200
No rush.
548
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,040
Let her weather the storms
at Maxmise first.
549
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:45,440
Everyone,
550
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,880
I just spoke with the people
from Celestial Insurance.
551
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,640
They aren't satisfied
with our initial proposal.
552
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,400
I don't see much point
in pushing forward with it.
553
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,120
We might as well
554
00:31:58,840 --> 00:31:59,760
scrap it and start over.
555
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,000
Are you serious?
556
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:04,840
We'll never get any sleep.
557
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,240
Well, Ma Ke, the research report for
Celestial Insurance is massive and messy.
558
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,560
We're already burnt out.
Are you sure we need to restart?
559
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,400
Yang Rui, do you know who suggested this?
560
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:17,720
Bu Tianna.
561
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,200
Both she and Xu Chi are new hires.
You seniors are already intimidated?
562
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:27,720
Alright.
563
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,280
Let's hear what they both have to say.
564
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,160
I love competition
565
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,240
because I have never lost.
566
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:36,640
What a coincidence. Neither have I.
567
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:37,720
Alright.
568
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,440
So, everyone in agreement?
569
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,200
Their team's consultants
drafted new proposals,
570
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:08,280
but in the end,
571
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,800
Bu Tianna and Xu Chi
clashed the most fiercely.
572
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,440
What approaches did each of them take?
573
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,400
Bu Tianna took the top-down approach.
574
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,160
She kept meeting senior executives
from major insurance firms.
575
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,960
She knows plenty of high-ranking contacts.
576
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,000
She also knows a great deal
about Celestial Insurance's competitors.
577
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,280
Standing on giants' shoulders,
naturally, she sees further.
578
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,000
Xu Chi built
grassroots connections instead.
579
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:29,880
She spent lots of time
with Celestial Insurance's staff,
580
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,920
trying to figure out exactly
why the previous proposal got rejected.
581
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,080
So who do you fancy more?
582
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:37,120
Bu Tianna.
583
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,920
You're rooting for Xu Chi, aren't you?
584
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:46,800
I suppose I am.
585
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,240
Bu Tianna's got connections,
586
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,280
but Xu Chi has solid backing too.
587
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:56,200
Backing?
588
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,160
Do you spot something off?
589
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:00,520
It might be
590
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:02,840
an issue with the India branch.
591
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,040
-The India branch?
-Right.
592
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,199
Celestial Insurance doesn't have
an overseas branch in India.
593
00:34:10,639 --> 00:34:13,000
It's not your mistake. It's mine.
594
00:34:14,159 --> 00:34:16,639
Our company recently
brought on an Indian partner.
595
00:34:17,159 --> 00:34:18,639
My frequent meetings with him
596
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:20,880
are impacting me.
597
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,639
I've confused a nod with a "no",
598
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:25,800
and a shake with a "yes".
599
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:36,040
Are you messing with me on purpose?
600
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,679
Alright. Back to business.
601
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,080
As competitors,
602
00:34:42,159 --> 00:34:44,320
I'm not in a position
to comment on Maxmise's project.
603
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,239
But in the slides you sent me,
all key information has been redacted.
604
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:49,280
That's well done.
605
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,199
From now on,
for our private conversations,
606
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,400
we'll only discuss ideas,
no concrete details.
607
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,720
Otherwise, we risk leaking
confidential business information.
608
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:58,760
Got it.
609
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,000
Overall, this proposal you showed me
is logically well-structured.
610
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,360
As an analyst's first draft,
611
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:04,400
it's pretty solid.
612
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,720
Only pretty solid as an analyst's draft?
613
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:11,720
What more do you expect?
614
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,800
Experience comes from repeated failures.
615
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,480
You've been on this project
for barely over a month.
616
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,040
Do you really expect
a flawless finished proposal right now?
617
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,760
Still, you can compete
against Bu Tianna with this,
618
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:25,720
and you'll stand a fighting chance.
619
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,120
But my goal isn't just
to beat her in this competition.
620
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,760
I want the client's
genuine approval of my solution.
621
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,960
Client satisfaction is a relative notion.
622
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,520
Getting them to compromise and buy in
is what usually happens.
623
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:40,440
But I--
624
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:42,920
XIAOXI
625
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:46,920
ANSWER
626
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,880
Xinzhi, I'll arrive in Beijing
the day after tomorrow.
627
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,120
-In the evening--
-Ms. Liu, hold on a second.
628
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:55,360
Just a moment.
629
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,560
Chi, do your research thoroughly.
630
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:58,800
The client will respond to it.
631
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:01,440
Okay.
632
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:38,320
Xu Chi,
633
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,080
you spent the day on site for the project.
634
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:42,480
Why are you back at the office?
635
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,440
Something's still off about this proposal,
636
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,880
so I came back to look up materials,
637
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:49,320
hoping for some inspiration.
638
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,600
Alright. I've got a little spare time.
I'll take a look for you.
639
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,240
-Great.
-Come on. Walk me through your thinking.
640
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:57,320
Okay.
641
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,680
My new proposal focuses on breaking down
Celestial Insurance's value tree.
642
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,600
Xu Chi, this proposal
is far too complicated.
643
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,720
I'd suggest redoing it with a focus
644
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,800
on scenario-based big data business
and enhancing the customer experience.
645
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:34,920
Redo it?
646
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,560
But won't that get too granular?
647
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,080
Besides, I barely have experience
with scenario-based design.
648
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,720
Our last proposal got rejected
because it was too abstract.
649
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:46,760
I believe in you.
650
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,480
Alright. Don't stay up too late.
651
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:50,560
Get some rest.
652
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,320
Redo it…
653
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:05,960
Didn't get much sleep?
654
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:08,760
Ma Ke suddenly asked me to refocus
655
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:10,680
on scenario-based big data business
the day before yesterday.
656
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,000
You should have told me earlier,
so I could've helped revise it.
657
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:15,640
Good work, everyone.
658
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:18,040
Today's weekly meeting
is to go over progress
659
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,080
and requirements
for each of your projects.
660
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:21,240
Let's begin.
661
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:23,640
-Ma Ke.
-Everyone's here.
662
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,200
-Mr. Pi, you're back.
-Just got back from the US.
663
00:38:26,720 --> 00:38:29,320
I was heading
to my office to beat jet lag,
664
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,200
but seeing you having your weekly meeting,
665
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:32,880
I wanted to drop in and listen.
666
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,160
Carry on. Don't mind me. Thank you.
667
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:38,960
Take a seat.
668
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:45,400
What's wrong?
669
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,000
Why so serious?
670
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,280
I have a question. Ma Ke,
671
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,320
is this ongoing project
672
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:55,880
hitting roadblocks?
673
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,280
We've finished research
and framework building.
674
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:01,600
The client is happy with that part.
675
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,600
But they want revisions to the proposal.
676
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,000
We're updating it right now.
677
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,000
I read the first version.
678
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,640
Do you have a new draft ready?
679
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,000
We now have five proposals,
680
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:16,840
each taking a different approach.
681
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,320
Mr. Pi, since you're here,
682
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:20,960
-shall we walk you through them?
-Alright.
683
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:30,040
Xu Chi, you're in charge of scenario-based
big data business, right?
684
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:31,840
Right.
685
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,640
Mr. Pi, Xu Chi has been telling me
686
00:39:35,720 --> 00:39:37,400
she's very confident in her proposal.
687
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:38,600
Let her go first.
688
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:42,760
-Wait, a couple of days ago, I just…
-Xu Chi,
689
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,120
if you've got solid ideas, speak up.
690
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:46,840
Let Mr. Pi give us his feedback.
691
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,440
Ma Ke is right. Xu Chi,
692
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,560
you were brimming with confidence
on the Bolo Culture project last time.
693
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:54,480
Tell us your thoughts.
694
00:39:58,280 --> 00:39:59,880
I'll give a brief overview.
695
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:31,680
Xu Chi, hold on.
696
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:34,640
I have a question.
697
00:40:35,240 --> 00:40:36,720
For the scenario-based customization
698
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,480
of pet medical insurance you mentioned,
699
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,840
what's the annual premium revenue
for each one?
700
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,560
Sorry.
701
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:48,800
Roughly over 100 million a year.
702
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,080
Huayuan Insurance is comparable in size
703
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:57,320
to Celestial Insurance.
704
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:01,880
Their pet medical insurance premium
was around 50 million last year.
705
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:03,800
Celestial Insurance's
annual premium revenue
706
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:04,920
is nearly 100 billion.
707
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,800
The pet medical insurance scenario
you proposed
708
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,160
can only generate
at most several billion in premiums.
709
00:41:12,240 --> 00:41:15,160
What impact could that possibly have
on Celestial Insurance's
710
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:16,680
multi-billion-yuan business?
711
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,000
I haven't collected enough materials.
712
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:21,440
In this case,
713
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,480
why did you tell Ma Ke
714
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:25,840
you were confident in your proposal?
715
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,320
Ma Ke,
716
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,160
as the project manager, what's your take?
717
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:35,920
Alright.
718
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:48,000
Mr. Pi.
719
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:48,920
My approach starts
720
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,000
with the key value drivers
of their current business.
721
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,080
I built a value tree
for Celestial Insurance.
722
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:54,920
Please take a look.
