Episode 39

Your phone’s ringing.

Mom.

Qin Qing is with me.

I know.

Answer the phone.

Mom.

Hello?

No one’s speaking.

It’s my mom, not your mom.

Get up. She’s coming to see you.

Get up.

Get up and wash your face.

You get up.

She’s not coming to see me. Why should I get up?

Let's get up together.

1, 2, 3.

No, my head aches terribly.

Wake up. Wake up.

Auntie,

you woke us up

so early in the morning.

What is it?

What is it?

A few days ago, I promised you

I’ll help you

ask about Xiaozuo’s mother.

You’ve...

You've found out something?

Yes, I’ve found out something.

I know one colleague

of hers.

Then what?

Then what?

I’ll help you

till the end.

Auntie, I love you so much.

Mom, you’re the light of our lives.

I’m indeed the light

of your lives.

Hello?

Teacher Shen.

What have you been busy with?

What else can I do?

I’m still writing that paper.

I’ve changed it several times,

but I’m still not satisfied.

Remember to come to my birthday party

in a few days.

I remember that.

Did I ever miss

your birthday party?

Honey,

I’ll call you

when I’m downstairs later.

Ok. Bye.

Mom,

you said you don't

feel very well.

Why are you working on the computer?

Did you eat the soup

I cooked for you?

I ate it up.

Now I even feel stuffed.

I just cooked two small bowls of soup.

That means

you still have

gastrointestinal problems.

You should eat at home from now on.

I’ll cook nutritious food for you.

Then I’ll go downstairs for a walk.

Wait.

I’m going with you.

I also want to take a walk.

You don’t need to work anymore?

I’ll take a break.

My head is spinning.

I’ll do it later.

Didn’t you say

you don't feel very comfortable?

You should stay at home.

I’ll be back very soon.

Linlin, I don’t want to keep an eye on you

or restrict

your freedom,

I just want you to

walk and chat with me.

When you get married

in the future,

you won't have time for me at all,

right?

Ok, Mom.

I’ll take a walk with you.

Oh, right.

Linlin,

in the past two days,

I felt like a heavy stone

was pressing on

my chest.

It felt tight.

You should sleep at home.

So you can take care of me

if something happens.

Ok?

Ok, Mom.

I'll sleep at home

in the next few days.

You’re really a filial son.

Have you been busy lately?

Not really.

What time is it now?

Why is Teacher Shen still not here?

She’s waiting for someone downstairs.

I heard she'd asked

another friend to come.

Who is it?

Come, Director Li.

They’re here.

They’re here.

So everyone is here.

Let me introduce you.

These are all teachers

from my school.

Teacher Liu, Teacher Chang,

Teacher Du and Teacher Tian.

Hello.

This is

a good friend of mine.

She used to work at

the Reference Room

of the Education Bureau

for a very long time.

Her name is Li Ruhui.

Nice to meet you, Director Li.

No.

Just call me Lao Li.

Call me Lao Li.

I retired last year.

But you’re still a cadre.

Don’t just stand there.

Let’s sit down.

Have a seat.

Director Li, you can sit here,

so you can be close to Teacher Shen.

Ok. Ok.

Here. Here.

I’ll sit here then.

Sit.

You’ve been waiting for so long.

Let’s drink a toast.

Ok. Ok.

Alright?

Cheers.

Happy birthday, Teacher Shen.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

Be happy every day.

Be happy every day.

Come on.

Let's start eating.

Director Li.

You attended

that research meeting

last year, right?

It was the year before last.

In Autumn.

Right. You’re right.

No wonder

I found you familiar

when I saw you just now.

Really?

Because I was also there.

But we didn’t say hi to each other.

I just remembered something.

Xiaotian,

you’ve been

writing a paper recently,

right?

Lao Li has been

working in the Education Bureau

for such a long time.

Maybe she can help you.

That's not appropriate.

What paper?

It's nothing really.

I want to

discuss some new

teaching methods

based on the education reform

in the past few years

and my personal teaching experience.

You’re really

a model teacher.

I’m flattered.

Now I’m teaching students

that are around 16 years old.

I won’t be able to keep pace with them

if I don’t learn new things.

How about this?

After I go back,

I’ll sort out

some relevant materials

and send them to you.

Maybe they can be of some help.

That’d be great.

Thank you so much, Director Li.

Thank you.

It’s nothing. Don't mention it.

It's really great.

Let's have another toast.

Right. It's Teacher Shen’s birthday.

-Happy birthday. -Happy birthday.

Thank you.

Come on.

Try it.

How does it taste?

It’s very bitter.

Golden Mandheling.

Right.

Look how beautiful these beans are.

They’re so plump.

I haven’t seen you so happy

for a long time.

Really?

Your product

was just launched.

But the number of registered users

has reached over ten million.

Congratulations.

You can finally

sleep soundly tonight.

It’s not that successful.

It’s just we advertised it a lot.

We still need to

wait and see if we can

gain a foothold.

Are you bothered by Song Lin?

This guy is a wild card.

He’s very unpredictable.

I'm very curious about what he’ll do.

You didn't go back

in the past few days?

How can you stand it?

They've already

gotten a head start.

Now it's a critical stage.

I have to keep a close watch on it.

We can't afford any mistake.

But you shouldn't

push yourself

like this.

Don't worry. I know what I’m doing.

If a manager

is too stressful

over a long period of time,

his judgment will be affected

and thus will make wrong decisions.

It wouldn't be worth it then.

Right.

Come on. Go take a walk with me.

Let's go.

Where are you going?

How about this one?

It looks good.

Wrap it for me, please.

Ok.

Thank you.

Look how many clothes you’ve bought.

You’re a shopaholic.

Besides being a workaholic,

I’m also a woman, alright?

Actually,

many women,

no matter what they do,

have one thing

in common,

which is they all love to shop.

I didn't like

to shop online.

I thought that

it’s impossible for you to know

the texture of the clothes

and how they look on you

by just taking a look at the pictures.

Without getting a real shopping experience,

you won't be able to

experience the pleasure when you spend your money.

Then what we're doing now

is completely going against

your consumption concept.

That’s why I asked you to

shop with me.

You think we're just here

to buy clothes?

By developing this app,

we aim to remove this barrier

and let the consumers

get a real shopping experience.

But how can we

boost the consumers’ pleasure

when they shop?

Have you thought about this?

I haven't really thought about this.

My team members

are all boys.

They’re all technicians.

None of them

studies female psychology.

But just like what you said,

if we incorporate this idea

into developing the app,

the result will definitely be better.

Do you know why Su Yushan

was so eager to

launch his app?

One major reason is

he wanted to

catch us on the wrong foot.

He knows clearly that

there are some technical bugs

in his app,

so he wants to achieve success

by relying on his marketing methods

and forging a real shopping experience.

You mean,

if we can let the consumers

enjoy a better

and more realistic

shopping experience,

we’ll then have a better chance to win,

right?

You can say that.

But Wanfeng

has enough funds.

We have to make sure

that nothing goes wrong.

The mere thought of Teacher Tian

gives me a headache.

Just wait and see.

I’ll have to fight a lot more tough battles

in the future.

You can fight your own battles,

don’t embroil others in them.

But I count on you

to support me.

Had it not been for you,

I wouldn’t have had the courage

to enter that school.

To express my

since gratitude to you,

you can buy

as many clothes as you want today.

I'll pay.

But you also

solved a lot of problems

for me,

should I also

do the same for you?

Right.

How about I pay this time,

and you pay next time?

We always have each other’s backs.

There’s no need to do this.

Just give me a chance

to splurge on some clothes,

alright?

I’ve got nothing left,

except time.

You’re such a spendthrift.

How can Nerd Three

support you in the future?

I don't need him to support me.

Here you are.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

You’re welcome.

You’re shopping?

Go explain things to her.

Don’t let her

get it wrong.

Sorry, excuse me.

Zhou Fang!

Zhou Fang! Zhou Fang!

Zhou Fang, don’t take this the wrong way.

Song Lin,

I believe

there’s nothing going on

between you and that woman.

But I just saw with my own eyes that

you were shopping with her.

I’m very angry now.

You know what?

You have to explain this

to Zhou Fang.

I want to explain,

but

you need to give me

a chance to explain.

Go ahead.

I was not shopping with her.

We were talking about work

all the time, really.

Why did you have to

go shopping together?

We were not shopping.

She said there're some problems

with our app,

so she took me here.

She said consumers can

get a more realistic experience

when they buy things in physical stores,

and that we need to incorporate this idea

into the software.

You understand?

I worked overtime every day,

how could I possibly have time

to go shopping?

Are you telling the truth?

Yes.

I believe you.

But

do you know

how a girl feels

when she sees

her boyfriend

is shopping with another girl?

I do. I really do.

But you still did this.

It was my fault.

I was careless.

I’ll be more careful in the future.

I won’t make

the same mistake again, alright?

I think

it’s a very

sincere apology.

I don’t think he’s lying.

Maybe

we can let it go for now

and observe his future performances.

You heard me?

I heard that. I know.

I’ll get going then.

You can have a talk.

Be nice.

Bye.

Don’t get me wrong.

Still angry?

I told you it’s a misunderstanding.

Let's go, alright?

Everyone’s watching.

Come with me.

Thank you.

You’re welcome.

I should’ve bought more clothes.

You alright?

What's up?

You think it’d affect my image

if I drink wine in the day?

What’s wrong with you?

Seems you’re not

quite yourself today.

What am I usually like?

You were never like this before.

That’s because I was always working.

But I’m also a woman.

I also want to slack off sometimes.

I also want to

have a shoulder to lean on.

But it's so hard.

This is the first time

I’ve seen you so frustrated.

Seems

you’re having some relationship issues?

Tell me,

who have you fallen for?

I think...

I’ve fallen for Song Lin.

What? You used to

tell me that

besides Lin Yun,

you won’t fall for

another man.

But

Song Lin is different from Lin Yun.

I can’t really tell why.

In the very beginning,

I just thought highly of

his life principles

and the way he dealt with people.

I even

admired how he protected Zhou Fang.

But you know,

as time went by,

I was not sure myself

if my feelings for him

had developed beyond

pure appreciation?

Isn't this laughable?

Ling Xi,

you should give up.

Song Lin already

has a girlfriend.

I know.

Well...

Then aren’t you just

digging yourself into a hole?

Actually I saw more than that

in him.

He never let Zhou Fang

do things to support his career,

instead, he gave Zhou Fang a lot of space

to do

things that she likes to do.

This is where

I envy Zhou Fang most.

But at the same time,

I also know that

in their world,

I am

just an outsider.

I am no more than an outsider.

You must've been busy recently.

You worked overtime every day, right?

You know what?

You can be hardworking,

but your health is more important.

I want to say the same thing

to you.

Your work is important,

but your health is more important.

Don’t make time

to go shopping with others

when you're so busy.

It’s bad for your health.

Ok.

Didn’t I make it clear?

You're still angry?

Drink slowly, no one will take it from you.

Wipe your mouth.

No one will take it from me?

People are lining up to take it from me.

Where are they?

You know? No one

has the ability to take it from you.

She won't be able to even if she wants to,

right?

Still angry?

Let's drink some wine,

alright?

Hello, we need a bottle of wine.

Don't drink so much

if you can’t.

I’ve been

too busy recently.

Too busy.

Sometimes I was not sure

if I can let you

live a happy life.

Do you know what I want?

I don’t know what you want.

But I need to know

what I can give you,

right?

Every day in the meeting

with the employees,

I told them

not to fret, not to panic.

Everything is fine.

Everything will be ok.

And we have our own advantages.

I repeated these so many times,

that I felt numb now.

In the end, I started to doubt

what I said.

In the eyes of the employees,

I am

synonymous with tenacity.

No matter what happens,

as long as I’m there,

everything will be ok.

Why are they still

willing to work for me

after so many years?

Why?

Because they trust me.

Even at this moment,

they still trust me without hesitation.

But actually

I really don’t know about it.

Who can I say these words to?

At least you have Ling Xi

to help you wholeheartedly,

isn’t it?

Ling Xi quit her job

and invested all the money she has

in this project.

I don’t know

why she did this.

But now,

I can only move forward.

There’s no turning back.

There's no turning back for me.

There’ no way out.

I can’t lose.

If this project goes bust,

then we'll be screwed.

We’ll all be screwed.

I’ll have nothing left.

I’ll have nothing

to honor my promise to you.

Why didn’t you

tell me this earlier?

I wanted to.

But I couldn’t utter a word.

I wanted to

ask you

to stop working for Su Yushan

and come back to me.

But how could I bring that up?

That'd mean I’ve already lost.

Although I can’t do much to help you,

I can at least

stay by your side

and comfort you.

But you kept it to yourself

and shouldered everything alone,

do you know

how bad I feel?

Don't feel bad.

I hope you can get better day by day.

And now

you’re making progress every day.

I’m really

glad to see that.

I really feel happy.

So,

you just need to move forward

and protect your dreams,

and I’ll protect you.

No matter by what means,

I’ll do my best

to catch up with you.

And then we’ll move forward

together.

With your ability,

this will prove to be a small test.

And I’m the one

who’s catching up with you.

Zhou Fang.

You know what?

By staying by my side

and keeping me company,

you’re actually

helping me grow.

You know?

In the end,

it’s all your credit.

Did I wake you up?

It’s fine.

Do you want to get more rest?

It’s fine. What is it?

I made an overall plan

based on our current situation.

First, we need to fix a time

to launch the app.

Then it’s the second round of funding.

Of course,

the key to the funding

will be the market response.

Ok, I’ll draft a plan

and then

show it to you.

Ok. I’ll leave then.

Um...

Ling Xi,

I have something to say.

I know

what you want to say.

As a bystander,

I know how much

you and Zhou Fang love each other.

I don’t want to come between you.

So you can feel at ease

and focus on the project.

I don’t want to be a loser

in both love life and business.

But I also need to

tell you this.

If one day

Zhou Fang wants to break up with you,

please tell me.

I don't want to miss the chance.

It’s not gonna happen.

I won’t give her a chance

to break up with me.

Ok.

I’ll leave then.

You’re here.

Did she notice this?

Rest assured.

I kept it secret

all the time.

You’re very reliable.

Have you two cleared up

the misunderstanding?

Your company

is at a critical moment.

You want to propose to her now?

Our company

is doing pretty good.

Even if the project goes bust,

I can still

be good to her, right?

That's more like it.

As Zhou Fang's

best friend,

I don't want her

to get hurt.

You understand?

I understand very well.

You're best friends.

Say something to encourage me,

alright?

I used to be very successful

in business.

I used to be a

well-known entrepreneur, alright?

As long as

you really love each other,

worldly possessions

are not important at all.

Being happy is the most important thing.

I trust Zhou Fang’s choice.

I also trust your choice.

Hurry and let me take a look.

Don’t let me down.

Rest assured.

What’s special about it?

Take a look.

How is it?

Amazing. I can say

that you’re the only one

who can come up with this creative design.

Of course.

Director Li.

You took it so seriously.

I promised you.

I can't go back on my words.

I sorted out

some files

that can be shared externally.

Probably it’s a bit messy.

We can talk about it

if there are some parts

you don't understand.

It's really great.

I don’t know

how to thank you.

It’s just a snack.

You could just give me a call

and asked me to pick it up.

You didn't need to come personally.

I didn't have anything to do.

It’s better to walk around than to idle.

I can take this as an exercise.

Thank you so much.

Xiaotian.

Go ahead, please.

Are we

sisters now?

Of course.

Then don't be like this.

Just don’t use

“please”.

What year were you born in?

1964.

I’m one year older than you.

You can call me Lao Li.

I’ll call you Xiaotian.

It’s not appropriate.

No. That’s not

what I meant.

I mean

you can call me Xiaotian.

But I

should call you Sister Li,

or Sister Ruhui.

Wait. Listen to me.

You can call me whatever you want.

But just don’t be so formal.

It sounds really odd.

You’re chatting.

Oh, Director Li is also here.

We plan to

go on a trip

in a few days.

You can join us.

Right, Ruhui.

Go with us.

Let's have some fun.

Join us.

You want me to join you?

Ok. I’ll go then.

I love to

join in the fun.

That’s great.

How do you know I’m here?

The little tailor in your studio told me.

He normally doesn't talk to

other people.

That’s because I’m his boss's

boyfriend.

Don't show off.

How is your company doing?

It’s doing well.

We’re making a strategic change.

Sit and eat with me.

Let's eat something else.

I’m lazy. I don't want to move.

Why are you so lazy?

Why are you so lazy?

What are you doing?

Everyone’s watching.

Put me down.

Let them watch.

My girlfriend is so pretty.

I want to make them jealous.

[Nerd Three]

Hello?

Honey,

what are you doing?

Is it convenient for you to speak?

Yes, I’m applying a facial mask.

So you're carrying out the skin whitening task

I assigned to you.

I have

good news for you.

What is it?

My mom is going on a trip

next week.

You already knew?

I don't know.

Then how come you are so calm?

It’s not like your mom has thought it through

and accepted me.

Why should I get excited?

But we’ll have several days

to move freely

and stay with each other.

I’ll be able to keep your company.

This is really

not a good time.

What do you mean?

I have a schedule conflict.

I'm going to meet a client next week.

What a coincidence.

This client is very important.

I can't reschedule the appointment.

Alright.

Don't be sad.

I’ll be back very soon.

I’ll get back to work then.

Bye.

Linlin,

who are you speaking with?

I’m talking with a colleague

about work.

Hello, Mr. Song.

Mr. Song.

Is there a problem

with this plan?

No.

Xiaofei will

finish it as soon as possible.

Don't stress yourself out.

It’s fine if it takes a bit longer.

As long as the app is good,

other things won’t be a problem.

My main concern now is

the pressure you get

from the investors.

Mrs. Cheng

will not pressure you.

But I think

other investors

will keep pressuring you.

Don’t worry about this.

Uncle, take a look.

We have heart-saving pills, medicated oil,

motion sickness pills and cold pills.

Auntie needs to take these.

Are we still missing something?

Are there any digestive tablets?

Digestive tablets?

Yes, they’re also in the box.

Now your aunt is happy,

so she has an increased appetite.

But she's got digestive problems.

What are you doing here?

Auntie.

Take a look.

They care about you a lot.

They’ve prepared all the medicines

you need.

What are you planning?

Where are you trying to

send me?

My mom is not going to

a backward place.

She can find these medicines there.

Right.

Wait.

We’ve been discussing this

for quite a while,

you should feel grateful.

Since when did you start to

care about me so much?

Now I’m going on a trip,

you get very excited, right?

Auntie, don’t worry.

Just have fun during the trip.

Zhou Fang and I will find time

to come back and keep Uncle’s company.

I hope I can make great progress in the game of Go

before you come back.

The suitcase is so big,

is it convenient?

There aren’t so many things,

how about we change it

to a small one?

Good idea.

I’ll go find a small one.

Auntie, you know what?

You must enjoy yourself

during the trip.

But you also need to be careful.

Add some clothes when it’s cold at night.

But don’t do this during the day.

What happened to you?

You're so naggy today.

Song Lin, come help me.

Coming.

I’ll go help her.

Look at Xiaosong.

He’s so considerate.

It’s good to travel sometimes.

We’re working

under great stress.

We need to relax.

A lot of teachers from our school

have come.

A lot?

Indeed.

Let's put the suitcases here.

Put them in the side trunk.

Thank you, sir.

You’re welcome.

Thank you.

Go.

Let’s get on the bus.

Ruhui, let's sit here.

Ok.

Hello, everyone.

I'm the impromptu tour guide

for this trip, Qin Qing.

I’m glad to travel

with everyone.

Here’s a kind reminder.

During the trip,

please stay with the group

and don't travel alone.

Let me know immediately

if you have a problem.

I'll do my best

to solve the problem for you.

Alright. Fasten your seat belt.

We’re setting out.

Teacher Tian,

isn’t this your student?

She went to our school to visit you

last week.

What a coincidence!

Hello, everyone.

Hello, Teacher Tian.

Well,

you actually met your student

during the trip,

which means

you’re somewhat connected with each other.

Is everyone’s seat belt fastened?

-Yes. -Yes.

Sir, we can go now.

This embroidery technique

was also used in that ready-to-wear series

named “Scarlet Summer Night”.

My master is also good at

this technique.

He taught me for a while.

Really?

Then when you’re free,

you can take me to your hometown

to meet your master.

He probably won't have time

to teach you.

This is awkward.

You finished it so quickly.

See if there’s a problem.

I’ll go to you later

if there’s a problem.

What's the matter?

Fang, bad news!

Qin Qing went to see my mother,

and she didn’t answer my call.

What should I do?

Your mom called you?

You knew this?

Why didn’t you

tell me?

How could I tell you?

You can’t keep a secret.

If your mom knew this,

Qin Qing would be in trouble.

But we shouldn’t act rashly.

I actually think

this is a very good opportunity.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

You can wait for the good news.

Fang,

how come you’re so confident?

My mom is very stubborn.

You think Qin Qing

is no match for your mom,

but now,

she’s got a very capable helper.

A very capable helper?

Who is it?

My mom.

Teacher Tian, it’s a long journey.

This will make you feel more comfortable.

I’m fine, really.

Come on. Wear it.

I’m fine.

Just wear it. Come on.

I have another one.

You can use this one.

Right. I’ll use this one.

This one is for you.

Come on, wear it.

I’ll wear this one.

It's really comfortable.

Really comfortable.

This kid is really considerate.

♫Maple leaves out of the window fall off♫

♫Your aroma does not linger♫

♫You are flushed in the photo album♫

♫redolent of our stories♫

♫and our tenderness♫

♫If our romance♫

♫had not been aborted♫

♫and if we hadn’t miss ♫

♫the passion we should have at the time♫

♫If we had learned ♫

♫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♫
