Episode 38

So tired!

Take a seat.

Let me show you something.

This is Luoluo’s album of paintings.

Remember to bring it with you

when you go back.

Okay.

I’ll go wash up.

What’s going on?

Why did you call me over

in such a hurry?

It’s about Yulin!

I tried to ask him out for several times,

but he all refused.

I haven’t seen him

for days.

Have you asked him why?

He said he was busy with work

and his mom was sick.

All kinds of excuses.

So his mom

was sick.

Why are you skeptical about that?

Even if his mom was sick,

how could that stop him

from replying my message?

Plus,

I bought many gifts

for his mom

but they were all returned to me.

I have a feeling

that we’ll be over

if things keep going like this.

Maybe because

his mom kept him on a short leash

and he couldn’t find any chance

to come out to see you.

No way.

He’s not a “mummy’s boy.”

I’ve never seen you

getting this anxious

about a man before.

I don’t know

why I became

like this.

I used to think

that he’d never leave me,

since he loved me so much.

When I miss him, he’ll show up.

When I get bored,

he’ll disappear quietly.

And now I’m really afraid

that he’d disappear

from my life forever.

Don’t worry,

Yulin is not that type of person.

He has a great sense of responsibility.

I know he’s not

that type of person.

But,

I was never like this

even when I was in love

with Jiang Yan in college.

Do you think

I’m not myself anymore?

I do.

So what am I gonna do?

You just wanna meet Yulin, right?

That’s easy.

That’s really not.

I don’t know how to deal with Teacher Tian.

So, let me

help you.

I’ll cook your favorite

braised noodles with green beans

tonight.

Mom, let me cook.

You can see if my cooking’s better

than my dad’s.

Hello? Mr. Song.

Hello? Xiaozuo.

I’m going to check

an investment project.

I need you to go with me.

Then please send me the address.

I’ll go meet you.

It’s okay.

Send me your address.

I’ll go pick you up.

Alright, no problem.

What’s the matter?

Mom,

my boss just called and asked me

to meet a client with him.

Sorry that I can’t have dinner

with you tonight.

It’s okay.

Go ahead. I’m fine.

Work comes first.

Okay. Mom, I must go now.

Bye, mom!

Lin,

who will we meet today?

Let me get ready for it.

You should get ready.

Today we’ll meet

Miss Zhou and Miss Qin!

Why are you surprised?

Can’t believe

you’d do something like this!

You think it was my idea?

Your watch is nice!

Yeah.

Qin Qing went

to Italy with Fang

some time ago.

She bought the watch for me.

Did Fang

bring you any gift?

Of course.

What did she give you?

It’s none of your business.

Stop asking.

I just wanted to compare them.

Compare them?

She bought me a house. Go figure.

Honey, sorry!

I should have

explained it to you.

Sorry to let you worry!

I’m fine.

It’s not your fault.

So you are not angry anymore?

I have no right to be angry.

I was being thoughtless.

I should have told you

about this.

But don’t worry.

I’ve had an idea

about how to fix my mom.

But I need some time.

I’ve been thinking

about why my mom

is so against

us being together.

Actually, it’s partially

my fault.

I bet my mom

still sees me as a kid

who lacks judgment.

That’s why she always

makes decisions for me.

I will prove to her

that I’m not a kid anymore.

And we were not together

on impulse.

I will strive

for a successful career,

and be responsible for this relationship.

I will tell her as soon as possible

from an equal stance

that I must

be with you.

It’s a request for opinions but a notice.

Was Italy fun?

Did you

go shopping?

Sure.

Did you buy anything

you like?

I did.

What did you buy?

Clothes, purses,

shoes, jewelries and makeups.

That many?

Did you check

menswear?

No.

Only women’s wear.

Sure.

Why would you check menswear?

What’s the matter?

What’s with the look?

What look?

Nothing. I was just asking.

I’ve been thinking

about how to prove myself

to my mom.

Yet on the other hand,

I made you feel insecure.

I’m so sorry!

Nerd Three…

Qin Qing.

Say no more.

I just wanna tell you

that no matter

what happens,

I know now

clearer than ever

that my life

will be incomplete

without you.

Don’t worry.

I will do my best!

It’s my fault.

I used to be too rebellious,

so that you have to go through this now.

It’s my fault that I used to be too obedient,

so that you have to suffer now.

Let me take a look at you.

I can see that you haven’t

eaten well these days.

You are losing weight again.

Let me cook you something nice.

Nerd Three!

Hug me a little longer!

Okay! Okay!

Honey,

promise me that you’ll take good care of yourself.

I will.

Eat on time

and sleep well, got it?

You too!

Are you guys done?

Then I’m leaving now.

Be good!

Listen to your mom

when you get back.

Don’t talk back to her.

If

she asks you to go on a blind date,

you can go.

It’s enough as long as you have me

in your heart.

Don’t worry about me.

Xiaozuo.

What time is it?

9:30 p.m.

9:30 p.m.?

Nice watch! Where did you buy it?

Italy.

Italy?

Qin Qing bought it for you?

So sweet!

Will you go back?

No.

I’ll stay here tonight.

Okay.

Please…

I can’t do that!

I’m leaving!

Then I’ll leave, too!

Nerd Three!

Be good!

Bye!

Drive safely!

Okay!

I told you that watch

really bothered him!

Yes.

Lin,

could you please…

If you are asking me to watch

you making out again,

you can forget about it!

If you need help again,

I’ll only make a phone call

and ask Chen Chen to help you.

Got it, Lin.

You young kids!

You look so happy!

I surely am!

I saw my Nerd Three!

I’m so happy now!

Song Lin asked me

why I didn’t bring him a gift.

What?

I thought you bought him a gift.

You didn’t give it to him?

I haven’t finished yet.

What kinda preparation would take you this long?

I won’t tell you.

I don’t wanna hear it either.

I’ll chat with my Nerd Three!

Why did you ask me

to go shopping with you early in the morning?

You wanna cook for me,

don’t you?

I’ve been working late

these days,

and haven’t cooked for you

for a long time.

You said you wanted

to eat crawfish last time.

So I’ve found a recipe from the Internet,

and I’ll cook for you tonight.

That’s so thoughtful!

Alright!

And can I call Ling Xi over

to have dinner with us?

Why do you want

to invite her?

I told her before

that I’d treat her a meal,

but haven’t got a chance to.

So you aren’t cooking

the crawfish

just for me?

Look,

when my company

was in trouble,

I had no cash flow

and I couldn’t find anyone to buy the shares.

But thanks

to Ling Xi’s help,

they were finally sold.

I was going to take her out for a meal

to thank her, but still haven’t done it yet.

So I’m thinking it’s more genuine

to invite her home for a meal.

It’s okay. If you are not happy about it,

we’ll just eat by ourselves.

You can invite her.

Or I would seem petty.

Great!

Come on! Give me a plate!

Here it is!

Now,

taste it.

So yum!

Put it on the plate.

Is it hot?

Yes!

Very hot!

Tasty?

Yep!

Not bad, huh?

What else do you want?

Let me cook it for you.

Big plate chicken.

I’ll go get the door.

Welcome!

It’s my first visit to your home.

I wasn’t sure what to bring.

So I bought you two bottles of wine.

You didn’t have to do that!

I’m sure it’ll be delicious.

Come on in!

Smells so good!

Lunch is about ready.

Ling Xi, welcome!

Take a seat! Lunch is ready.

Nice!

We’ve been busy for a whole morning!

It’s quite a feast!

Look,

it’s not easy for you to come here,

of course I’ll cook something nice for you!

It’s all done?

All done!

Enjoy!

Very nice!

Have a taste!

Very delicious!

You know what?

Zhou Fang and I haven’t

done nothing today but cooking.

Thank you so much!

Cheers!

Welcome to my home!

Actually I really

need to thank Ling Xi.

If she hadn’t helped me

sell the shares

and raise money,

I would have lost my house.

I didn’t’ agree

to live with you.

So when are you

going to say yes?

Depends on your behaviors.

My behaviors?

Then I’ll really have to behave myself.

I feel so awkward

being a third wheel here.

It’s okay. I’ll serve you some soup, too.

It’s really delicious!

Your cooking skills are getting better.

Now,

thank you for this nice meal!

And

let’s all

keep up the good work!

Cheers!

Keep going!

Go!

Zhou Fang.

Mr. Su.

Here’s the thing.

We are going

to launch the App in advance.

Are you able

to provide more designs?

I think I am.

But will it

affect Song Lin?

Frankly speaking,

it will.

I know you are

Song Lin’s girlfriend.

But from the day

you chose Wanfeng,

you were already destined

to be his competitor forever.

In our industry,

you must strive for No.1 to be successful.

Otherwise, everything you do will be a failure.

I will support

and believe in you

as usual.

Su Yushan met me today.

It’s okay. Don’t feel bad about it.

The competition

between the two companies

is turning white-hot right now.

We should try to keep

a distance.

Is there anything I can help you?

Help me?

Let me think.

You can help me by working hard!

Try your best

to be my strongest competitor.

After all, I can be tougher

in front of the tough.

Right?

But…

No but.

I feel so exhausted.

When the new clothes

are launched, I’ll be busier.

But hugging you always makes me feel better.

I don’t know why.

Let’s go back.

I can’t be absent from work.

Your home or mine?

Mine?

Let’s go.

Mr. Song!

Mr. Song!

Welcome home!

Mr. Song, how do you feel?

Do you

feel surprised?

Most of the senior employees of Wanfeng

have come back to us.

Thank you for choosing me again

and working with me.

Thank you!

Thanks, everybody!

Please allow me to introduce.

This

is our company’s new shareholder,

as well as our

Outreach Officer,

Ling Xi.

Thanks to Miss Ling,

our company

made it to this day.

Miss Ling, nice to meet you!

HI, everybody.

Over the years working in the industry,

I’ve never made

a wrong judgment.

So, I believe

you won’t

let me down either.

Don’t worry, Miss Ling.

Though our company

just started the online

haute couture business,

in terms of technology,

Yulin and Fei

have made

remarkable progress.

So, now,

we just need to stick together

and head to a new future.

Do you have confidence?

Yes!

Let’s make it happen!

Mr. Song,

Wanfeng just launched

their new App today.

[Wanfeng Group’s App “Virtual Fitting Room” is launched today and attracts a considerable amount of users.]

Su Yushan

picked this day on purpose

to surprise us.

It’s okay. Just go back to work.

You are working on a new design?

I thought you were busy.

How come you have time to come here?

Someone asked me

to bring you lunch.

Take a break, workaholic girl.

Have something to eat.

Thank you for feeding me every day.

This one looks like a real deal!

This diamond is at least

10 carats!

Five.

Can I see it?

Sure. But be careful.

Alright.

It’s very expensive.

Hey. It’s really expensive.

Nice quality!

Some rich redneck

wants to propose with this ring.

Quite genuine, right?

Tell me about it.

Good for him that he found me

to design the ring.

Whoever asks you to do it

wouldn’t be a redneck.

He has quite a taste.

When you get married,

will you ask me

to design a ring for you?

Of course!

Have you thought

about how your ring

will look like?

Pretty much like this.

Do you

want

any alteration?

I think it’s already perfect.

Nothing needs to be changed.

If one day

someone holds out this ring

and propose to me,

I’ll say yes right away.

Why did you smile?

I didn’t!

You did!

What did you smile about?

I’m hungry. Lunch time.

Tell me, what did you smile about?

I didn’t!

Pay more attention

to the security system.

Got it.

And also here.

Is everything okay?

Everything’s fine, Mr. Song.

Especially

the security system.

There’s no flaw anymore

after upgrading.

The pressure can serve as motivation, too.

You know?

Let’s do our best.

We can’t afford any mistake

on customer privacy security.

Got it.

After the internal beta test

is over in a couple of days,

it’ll be ready for public beta.

Let’s continue.

Thank you for your

hard work recently.

I will reward all of you

after it’s done.

Okay! Thank you, Mr. Song!

Hurry.

[Chairman’s Office]

Don’t worry.

Our App

will be launched soon.

Alright. Bye.

The investors are pressing you again?

I’ll take care of them.

You

just need to focus

on the App.

Don’t get distracted by other things.

We’ve already lost

the best opportunity.

Do you know

what the key to negotiation was

when we were in the U.S.?

It’s because

you pledged

all your asset.

So they agreed

in the end.

The fate of this company

doesn’t just

matter to you,

it also matters to me.

Say, you are always

full of fighting spirit.

You’ve never felt

that kind of

helplessness

or desperation?

Actually,

there’s something I want

yet I can’t get.

And I know clearly

that I might never

get it.

By the way,

Su Yushan

invite us to dinner tonight.

What does he want?

My instincts tell me

that we’ve got to go.

No matter what,

we have to be strong.

Zhou Fang.

Mr. Su.

Thanks to you,

our App was launched

in time successfully.

Let me take you out for dinner tonight

to celebrate.

I still have some work to do tonight.

It’s time to relax a little.

I’ll see you then.

My assistant

will send you the address of the restaurant.

Miss. Ling, Mr. Song.

Come on in, please!

Sorry, Mr. Su,

for letting you wait.

We are friends.

No worries.

Still, I’m sorry.

What’s the occasion?

I just wanted

to treat you two a meal

to thank you.

Because of the foundation

that Mr. Song laid for Wanfeng,

our App

was successfully

launched today.

Of course,

the previous assessment

that Miss Ling performed

also provided us

with solid financial strength.

That’s so modest of you.

Actually, I’m quite happy

that Wanfeng

is steadily developing

under the leadership

of a capable man like you.

I built up

Wanfeng from nothing.

It was like my son.

Here. Cheers!

Sorry, I’m late!

Take s seat.

You didn’t even tell me

that you invited my girlfriend, too.

I didn’t know you were coming either.

Hi, Ling Xi.

Mr. Su,

you gathered us here

without telling us who’s coming.

Is there anything important you wanna say?

I want to say

it was all thanks to Zhou Fang’s designs

that our App could

be launched today.

Because of her designs,

the number of our users

keeps climbing.

But at the same time,

it makes your App

become a knock-off.

I’m

so sorry about that.

You don’t have to apologize.

In this industry,

we all know

that whoever launches first

will seize more market share.

I understand.

Never mind.

I can see

that today is not just about

having dinner together.

I think you mainly want us

to congratulate you.

So, congratulations on

the successful launch of your App.

And I hope

that your App will become

more and more popular.

Good luck!

Excuse me,

I have to use the bathroom.

Me, too.

Is this necessary?

Of course.

Are you alright?

What are you gonna do?

We won’t be defeated.

That’s for sure.

Song Lin and I

will do our best

to minimize the impact

and keep running our business.

I just wanted

to do my job properly.

I didn’t expect that it’d

bring you such great strains and pressure.

I’m sorry.

You did nothing wrong

to do your own job.

But have you thought

about Song Lin’s feelings?

Yes. I do appreciate Song Lin.

I don’t feel well.

I’ll go home now.

If there’s nothing else,

I’ll go accompany

my girlfriend.

Mr. Su,

is it interesting

to fight against us like this?

You launched the App ahead of schedule

to capture market share.

But I think

you haven’t fixed

the bugs

before you

did it.

It’s not a move

that a smart and rational leader

would take.

Miss Ling,

thank you

for your kind reminder.

I also want to remind you

that it takes guts

to face reality

and admit failure.

If you back off now,

you may lose less.

Time will tell.

But I believe

that the smirk on your face

will disappear soon.

You did nothing wrong

to do your own job.

But have you thought

about Song Lin’s feelings?

Yes.

I do appreciate Song Lin.

Are you okay?

Why did you

leave without me?

What’s going on?

I’m a little sad.

Sad about what?

Actually, I did

understand

what Su Yushan said

during the dinner.

But I couldn’t help you.

As your girlfriend,

I can’t even

fight together

with you

like Ling Xi does.

So, I feel quite sad about that.

Don’t be.

What’s with you?

Is it because

he launched the App

today?

Actually, I’ve

already known

that he’d launch the App.

But I couldn’t say anything to you

since it was trade secret.

I sometimes feel like

I’m an outsider

and I even stands opposite

to you sometimes.

Will you hate me?

Why would I hate you?

Though you work

in Su Yushan’s company,

it’s just your job.

You are still

with me,

and your job

won’t affect us

as a team.

I used to think

that we were a team,

and we could

achieve success

respectively.

But the competition of this industry

is so fierce.

I never expected

that things would become like this.

Song Lin,

I really am afraid

that we’d drift apart

one day.

I’m afraid

that we’d become strangers.

I’m also afraid that I’d lose you.

Don’t think too much.

I told you before

that we’ll walk to the finish line together

no matter

what happens.

Right?

And you agreed on that, didn’t you?

So what’s this fuss about?

I can’t be as calm

as you are,

neither do I have the ability

like Ling Xi does

to help you financially

and be an advisor

to you

over and over again.

Do you think she may

suit you better?

Zhou Fang, listen to me.

You are the one for me!

No one suits me better

than you do.

And I won’t give anybody

any chance either.

Did you hear me?

Will you remember that?

Don’t cry!

Don’t cry! Give me a hug.

Don’t cry, okay?

Qing, you are here!

Hi.

You are here!

I know you need me,

so here I am.

I know you feel blue.

Talk to me.

I feel

really sorry to him

about the App launch.

You feel sorry?

Why?

You just worked hard

for your career.

What’s wrong about that?

I don’t want to become

his competitor.

I don’t want that to happen.

What’s the big deal

being his competitor?

Miss Zhou Fang,

would you please

separate your love life and career.

Just stop thinking

about others too much.

Why has my love life

been so difficult?

It’s really tough.

Why does it have

to be this difficult?

Though I’m comforting you,

my love life is

a mess, too.

Teacher Tian

doesn’t accept me at all.

Where are you going?

I made this

based on Teacher Tian’s figure

on the picture.

I Don’t know if it’ll fit her.

Bring it to her

and let her try it on.

If it doesn’t fit,

I’ll alter it for her.

Meanwhile,

you can bring her

an accessory you designed,

so that she

can see your ability

and realize

that you are no longer

that rebellious girl in high school,

instead, you’ve become a capable and reliable

jewelry designer!

Here you go.

Kid,

why are so

nice to me?

You are like a mom to me!

[Teaching Building]

Miss Qin!

I’ve helped you prepare a gift,

yet you couldn’t even come here by yourself?

I’m very busy.

Why do you need me to be here?

Miss Zhou,

I’ll be much calmer

with you by my side.

Since you are already here,

just stop nagging.

Where is her?

Right over there.

[Math Teachers’ Office]

Please come in.

Teacher Tian!

What are you doing here?

I…

Hi.

Teacher Tian. I haven’t

come back

for a long time.

I just want to visit you.

No need to beat around the bush.

Just tell me what you want.

Teacher Tian,

nice to meet you!

I’m Zhou Fang,

a friend of Zuo Yulin

and Qin Qing.

Qin Qing has always wanted

to come visit you,

but wasn’t quite sure

what to bring to you.

This is

a dress I designed.

And this is

a piece of luxury jewelry Qin Qing designed.

Hope you’ll like them!

They are too extravagant.

I can’t accept them.

It’s okay.

We just wanna show our nice gesture.

Thank you very much for that,

but I can’t

accept your gifts.

Please take them back

and give them to the seniors of your family.

But you are a senior to me.

Thank you

for coming by and visit me.

It’s been about 10 years after you graduated from high school.

As your teacher,

I wish you

all the best.

Wish you a happy life,

and hope you’ll

soon find your love.

But,

it’s absolutely

not my son Yulin.

I’m sorry.

Take it easy!

How can drinking

solve your problem?

Then tell me

what I can do to solve the problem?

I just want to get drunk

and forget about

how humiliated I was earlier.

Were you?

I don’t think you should feel humiliated.

It wasn’t humiliating at all, okay?

I’ve

always been

a confident person.

But today,

just now,

I felt like I was

so worthless

and loathed

as if I were a fly!

Will you stop

thinking too much?

I don’t think

it’s something

humiliating at all.

She may already

forget about it,

yet you still can’t get it over with.

It’s okay that she despised me.

But she also

despised you!

I don’t think

I was being despised.

Listen to me,

it was only

our first try today.

At least Teacher Tian

got to see another side of you.

And she also

saw your design.

So what?

She wouldn’t

care at all!

I used to be a bad student

in her eyes.

And now she sees me as a bad woman.

Just forget about it!

Forget about what?

What are you talking about?

I wanna give up!

Give up what?

Let me ask you.

If Yulin were sitting

before you right now,

what do you think he would do?

He would keep fighting

with no hesitation!

You used to lecture me

about how men

and women behave.

Now, let me give you

a lecture today.

Let’s drink up first.

You always complained

that the men you met

were bad

and unreliable.

Why?

Because you never bothered

to solve the problems.

If you don’t solve the problems,

they’ll always be there.

How can I blame others for being unreliable?

I think I’m actually

the unreliable one.

Who said it?

Tell me!

I’ll beat him up!

I think you are very reliable,

and more so than ever!

You see,

before Teacher Tian showed up,

you and Yulin

fought with each other

all the time.

And what about now?

You guys are more

in love than ever.

What does that tell you?

It means

where there is resistance, there is motivation;

where there is challenge, there’s breakthrough.

Right?

So you should

thank Teacher Tian for that.

If I hadn’t happened to see

how sweet you were the day before yesterday,

I wouldn’t have believed

you could become

a girl like that, Qin Qing!

You’ve got quite a point!

Don’t give up so easily.

If you gave up

even before the battle begins,

that’d be so unfair to Yulin.

I’m sure Teacher Tian

will warm up to you eventually.

Do you trust me?

As long as you are with me.

I’ll always be there for you!

♫not to say “I don’t understand you” easily♫

♫If you still love me, then why did we break up?♫

♫The trees bud in the rainy day♫

♫when the whole street is empty♫

♫The warm night bids farewell to the past♫

♫Sadness was etched in my heart♫

♫I was not firm♫

♫I still remember the ideal world we painted♫

♫in which lived you and me♫

♫What a pity that♫

♫our promises became empty talks♫

♫I still remember♫

♫the puzzles we wanted to solve♫

♫I still remember. I still love you. But why did we break up?♫

♫If you still love me♫

♫please remember every fragment of ours♫

♫Why do we need to admire others’ romance?♫

♫If you still miss me♫

♫don’t be as lonely as me♫

♫You have experienced love in earnest♫

♫Please remember love once landed on our world♫

♫If you still remember we were in love♫
