Way Back Into Love

Episode 22

You're my hidden levels.

Preview There can be

more than one type of surprise.

So I'm going to tell you

everything that happened between

me and Song Junxi.

Enjoy.

Thank you.

When I was a college junior

I took up an internship

at Yamamoto Accounting Firm.

Yamamoto Accounting Firm

was a partner

of Sixinte Group.

Back then,

I worked at the accounting firm

and prepared for the CPA exam.

So I often reviewed texts

in the coffee shop

down the accounting firm.

I saw

Song Junxi's name

on your CPA materials.

You already knew?

Alright.

I will make the long story short.

I met Song Junxi

when he needed an umbrella.

Hi, hello.

Are you an employee

of Yamamoto Accounting Firm?

I work for Sixinte Group.

I'm your client.

May I borrow

your umbrella?

I will be back soon.

Sure.

I will give you my phone number.

Here it is.

Thank you.

Whoa.

Sorry,

I'm late. Here is your umbrella.

It's okay.

Wait.

Where are you going?

Let me give you a ride.

So you rode in his car?

Of course not.

I'm not the type of person

who rides in a stranger's car.

No. Thank you.

Actually,

if I hadn't met

Song Junxi again

at Yamamoto Accounting Firm,

I would have forgotten him.

If it were up to me,

I wouldn't approve

all seven companies.

Alright.

Don't worry for them.

Hurry up.

Print 10 more copies.

I hear

that Sixinte's employees

are coming soon.

Get the papers bound.

Then help me out.

Oh.

Zhu Yali.

Yes.

Come here

and prepare the projector.

Coming.

I'll get going.

OK.

This.

Thank you.

It's you.

Hello.

Mr. Song.

Take a look at this clause.

And this one.

That man works for Sixinte, right?

He looks so young.

How come Yamamoto

shows so much respect to him?

He is Song Junxi,

the director of the Investment and Acquisition Department

of Sixinte Group.

He cooperates with us

on our projects.

He is only a director for now.

But he is not much older

than us.

He comes from a powerful family.

Sixinte Group's founder Mr. Song

is his biological uncle.

He has great potential.

It's a pity

that his family arranged

his marriage early on.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we received a commission

from Sixinte Group

and carried out an in-depth investigation

into the seven companies

to be acquired by Sixinte Group.

The investigation result

is included

in the report in your hands.

From the due diligence result,

we can see the seven companies

have a well-designed profit structure

and a stable cash flow.

Overall,

all the seven companies

have great potential for growth.

Sixinte has made

good choices.

Mr. Yamamoto,

you completed due diligence

into the seven companies

at the same time.

The workload must be heavy.

Thank you, everyone.

It's our honor

to serve

Sixinte Group.

The acquisition of the seven companies

is of strategic significance

to Sixinte.

Sixinte can capitalize on these companies

and create a whole

industry chain.

Does anyone

have anything else to say?

No.

I think...

Stay out of it.

You two,

do you have anything to say?

They

are the new interns.

They aren't involved in our projects.

Since they are here to learn,

they might as well voice their opinion.

Alright.

I will voice my opinion

from the perspective

of an ordinary user.

I just read

this report.

From the report,

we can see

the seven companies

have a well-designed profit structure

and a stable cash flow

as Mr. Yamamoto said,

which means the seven companies meet your investment standards.

However,

one of these companies

runs a cosmetics app

that I have used before.

The app is popular.

But it essentially

sells counterfeit products

in the name of group buying.

The platform

does not regulate the products

even though it's obligated to do so.

This kind of app

has high traffic and the ability to profit.

But in the long term,

it disregards

consumer rights

and damages the industry's ecosystem.

Its users will take action

and leave it eventually.

Sixinte is a group that cares about

corporate social responsibilities.

The investments could

damage the group's reputation,

doing more harm than good.

As an ordinary user,

you think on a deep level.

Mr. Yamamoto,

your intern is excellent.

This youngster doesn't know any better.

Please forgive her.

She pointed out a real problem.

I will inform

the group's executives.

Actually,

the group's relevant department

gave a similar risk warning.

But don't worry,

it's Sixinte's style

to manage the platforms uniformly

after acquisition

and solve the problem.

Any more questions?

It's lucky that you

weren't facing

the group's big boss.

I just said a fact.

I was thinking for our client.

Fine.

What's going on? Why is it raining?

I didn't bring an umbrella.

Mr. Song.

Do you need an umbrella?

I...

Thank you.

How do I return the umbrella?

Write down your name and phone number.

Oh.

Thank you.

Alright.

I have told you

the dos and don'ts for accounting.

You have taken notes.

Remember

to remain detail-oriented.

Lu, who is that?

He looks so handsome.

He is our

major client,

Sixinte Group's

new CEO,

Song Junxi.

Alright. You have done well today.

Let's call it a day.

Lu Jia

Put down your work

for a while.

I'd like to make

an announcement.

Next week,

we'll attend the year-end party of Sixinte Group

at the invitation of Sixinte Group.

The year-end party will be held in a holiday resort.

We'll depart from the office

together next week.

Thank you.

This is great.

Good.

Guys, hear me out.

We just signed a new contract

with Sixinte Group

that would last for 3 years.

Today,

Mr. Song

invited us

to their year-end party.

What does this mean?

It means they value

our cooperation highly.

I hope

you'll work together

and keep it up.

Thank you for your hard work.

A toast to you all.

Here.

Not just for three years.

We'll strive to cooperate with them

in the following five or ten years.

-Cheers. -Drink all you want.

Yeah.

Cheers.

Hello, Mr. Song.

Hello.

Cheers.

Come on, Lu Jia.

We have been colleagues for many years.

I will drink it up. You can do as you please.

Here, Lu Jia.

Let's have a drink. Cheers.

Lu Jia, let's have a drink.

Here. A toast to you.

You got drunk again?

Let me declare

that I didn't kiss random people when I was drunk.

I didn't say that.

Be careful.

Here.

Mister, hello.

How can I help you?

Please take her

back to her room, so she can rest.

Yes. Yes.

Let me help her.

Slow down. Slow down.

Be careful.

Here is your room card. Take it.

Thank you.

Lu Jia?

Why are you here?

This... This is my room.

You must be drunk.

Let me help you up.

No. No. No. No. No.

No. No. No.

Then I realized

Yamamoto knew Song Junxi

took over Sixinte

and Yamamoto wanted his firm to remain a partner

of Sixinte in the long term.

So he sent me

to Song Junxi's room.

I quit in public.

And I flipped off Yamamoto's wig.

That's all.

I have confessed everything.

It's the main reason

that I came back to Dongzhou.

But it's all past.

I have explained to you.

Are you still giving up the investment?

I never doubted

your relationship with Song Junxi.

I don't want the investment

simply because I don't think

it belongs to me.

I thought the same as you.

I didn't like

Song Junxi's alms.

With or without the investment,

it was pretty much the same

for Voya.

But things are different now.

We have signed

all those contracts

for our new servers, publicity and outsourcing work.

If we go back on our word,

we breach the contracts.

Besides,

we won't have funds.

I know you are thinking for the company.

I promise you

that Voya can survive

this crisis.

Besides,

I can't let

everyone's efforts go to waste.

Right?

Then I'll get back home.

I gave up

the investment from Sixinte

because I found out

the unfair nature of the roadshow.

The investment

didn't belong to Voya in the first place.

We didn't win fairly.

We will face

many hardships

due to a shortage of funds.

Please be understanding.

Let's stick together

to get through this crisis.

Boss, don't worry.

No matter what your decision is,

we will support you.

Why can't I open Pickup?

What?

Hold on. Let me see.

I can't open it either.

Wait. I'm going to run a check.

It seems the server went wrong.

If the number of servers

hadn't reduced by half,

it wouldn't have been so difficult to open the app.

The servers crashed due to heavy traffic.

If only we had money.

When we had funds,

people flocked in here

to cooperate with us.

Now we have lost the investment,

I see no visitor.

How fickle

people are.

I...

I...

Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu.

I have bad news.

Sixinte changed its mind and invested in Crisscross.

I know.

You look so calm.

It's Crisscross,

our competitor.

We can't change

other people's decisions.

We can only do our job.

Amazing.

You run a business like you don't care.

Ranklist

Mr. Xu,

we have

a serious

shortage of funds.

You see,

we need to pay Juemi

for the second time soon.

But if we pay Juemi,

we won't have money

to pay our employees.

Look.

I made

a new financial budget.

I did my best to cut spending.

But I still suggest

that we don't implement the original plan

and spend so much on publicity.

We can consider

our current financial situation

and talk to Juemi

about changing the contract object.

I agree with you.

I will handle this matter.

We need to pay

our employees on time.

So what if he has a million followers?

It doesn't make him special.

This guy named Sam

felt so popular that he had the nerve

to write nonsense.

Look at the title.

Pickup falls as Crisscross rises.

Ten reasons for Sixinte to change its mind

and invest in Shenyu.

I'm not taking this crap from him.

It's obviously

an advertorial.

Heck.

How can they do this?

I can't believe a renowned critic

like Sam is corrupted

by money.

I'm telling you,

people of his kind have no bottom lines.

Unfollow him right now.

You guys, unfollow him right now.

Unfollow him. Unfollow him. Unfollow him.

-Damn him. -Why are you here again?

Uh-huh.

Janice,

what are you looking at?

Great timing.

Now he will lose one more follower.

You pinned his post?

Sam is a nice person.

How did he offend you?

He took money and wrote an advertorial.

He sucked up to Crisscross

and said Pickup was done for.

No. It can't be.

Sam enjoys

a good reputation in the industry.

I don't think he will lie

for money.

Why are you defending him?

I don't understand.

No. No. No.

I just think

the article

he uploaded today

raises an objective point.

All the other opinion leaders

feel sorry for Voya.

Only he published an article

to analyze the situation.

He didn't analyze the situation.

He just added insult to injury.

Do you understand?

No.

Read the article

carefully.

It's actually a guide

to defeating Crisscross.

The gap between Voya and Shenyu

is not about money.

If you solve

all the problems

mentioned in the article,

you might

defeat Crisscross.

You talk too much.

Will you stop?

Alright. Alright. Alright.

Easy. Easy. Master.

You are so annoying.

Let me finish.

For example,

Pickup's interface

includes so many animations.

It feels self-centered.

You see animations when you are opening the app.

You will also see animations

when you have found

a new friend.

Perhaps your designer

had fun

designing the animations.

But the users

only think they are repetitive

and uninspiring.

You need to think for the users.

You know nothing.

Mr. Ye.

Easy, Mr. Ye.

I designed the animations

as a surprise for the users.

You just don't understand.

Easy, Mr. Ye.

Alright.

Sit down.

Shao Yifeng, go on.

Anyway,

Sam pointed out the problems

in his article.

I simply

repeated his points.

I will leave then,

so you can get back to work.

Get lost.

Can somebody

show me the article?

The stupid article is not worth reading.

We already unfollowed him.

Uh,

wait a second.

I will send the article to you.

You...

It's sent, Boss.

Will you get back to work?

What's wrong?

What did I do this time?

Ye Angyang,

optimize the app

for a better user experience.

Optimize the app? What do you mean?

Xu Jiaxiu,

make it clear!

Ye Angyang, calm down.

Which part of the app needs optimization?

When Xu Jiaxiu comes back,

you can talk it out.

Mister, do you need a refill?

Yes, thank you.

I'm sorry, Mr. Xu,

for making you come here.

We have

too many projects.

We don't have enough time to handle them.

Sorry that I've kept you waiting.

It's okay.

What would you like to drink?

That's not necessary.

I have many things to do.

Let's get down to business.

I came

to talk about

contract modification.

This is the new contract draft.

Mr. Chen, have a look.

You are reducing

the contract amount by 90%.

You surely have a strict budget.

Only the interns

work on projects

of this scale.

Hello?

Mr. Yu.

Go on. Go on.

Yes.

Alright.

Yes.

Alright.

Sixinte will hold a video conference

with us tomorrow.

Mr. Song will attend the video conference.

We will let you

introduce our publicity plan.

Get ready.

OK.

Don't worry.

Run a check

on the TV

video network.

Yes, Mr. Yu.

I'm aware

of your situation.

How about this?

I will have our intern

take over your project as soon as possible.

After all,

it's a kind of fate that we get to cooperate.

Mr. Xu,

forgive me for not buying you coffee.

I have things to do. Got to go.

How did your negotiation with Juemi go?

Not well.

But it was

within my expectations.

I made an appointment

with another publicity company.

We'll be prepared for both possibilities.

I'm not going back to the office right now.

Alright.

Don't give yourself

too much pressure.

Okay.

Nobody likes

this opening animation?

What are you doing?

Drinking?

It's just a trifling matter. It's not worth it.

You drank so much.

Let's play a game.

Come on.

Play a game.

Come on.

Let's play a game. Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Come here.

Don't take it too seriously.

Design is all about

subjective opinions.

Different people have different opinions.

It's normal.

I just wanted

to surprise everyone

and make them happy.

So I added

some extra elements

after designing the basic functions.

But the animations

turned out to be self-centered.

Don't say that.

You proactively raised

user expectations.

That's why it happened.

You did a good job.

Besides,

once they see a surprise,

they will expect another surprise.

They will want

a continuous flow of surprises

to satisfy their desire.

Take your animations for example.

The users liked them when watching them for the first time.

But after watching them for the second time and the third time,

watching them over and over again,

the users grew tired of them.

Some apps

place themselves

in a safe zone.

They only have functional designs.

They prevent the users

from having expectations.

I see.

I should stand my ground.

Keep designing animations.

Keep surprising the users.

Right?

Right.

You suck.

You only deserve to play Super Mario.

You probably never completed the game.

I completed the game early on.

It was boring.

Boring?

Come here. Come here. come here.

Come here.

I will show you.

Look.

This... This...

This...

How come...

How come the game

looks different?

He can do that?

Have you ever walked through a wall?

Have you ever climbed vines?

Have you ever experienced the hidden levels?

While it's tough for some people

to pass the eight levels,

look at him.

Play.

You need to know

that there can be

more than one type of surprise.

Use your stupid brain.

Don't drink too much.

Do you hear me?

The hidden levels.

I think these clauses

need modification.

These words

should be changed.

Sorry. Sorry.

I'm late. I'm late.

Mr. Song will hold

a video conference with us.

He will talk to us

about the publicity and promotion plan

for Crisscross.

After Mr. Song arrives,

Mr. Chen of Juemi

will tell us

about the publicity plan.

OK.

Take this.

OK.

Mr. Chen.

Mr. Song.

Now that we are all here,

let the conference begin.

Yes.

Mr. Song, hello.

I'm Chen Han

of Juemi Publicity Company.

I'm in charge

of the publicity work for Crisscross.

Our company

values the Crisscross project

very much.

We have given it

the best resources and channels

for publicity and promotion.

Our company has customized

a publicity plan

for Crisscross.

It's called the Dandelion Plan.

First off,

we will incubate and foster

potential users in vertical communities,

such as

community celebrities.

They have

large fanbases.

When the time comes,

they will be like dandelions

and make Crisscross

known to people.

Crisscross will spread far and wide.

Our publicity and promotion

plan covers

all offline and online

promotional channels.

We will spread Crisscross

to every corner.

Mr. Song,

what do you think

of this plan?

This plan

sounds nice.

I want to see progress

in project implementation as soon as possible.

Moreover,

I think the name Crisscross

is not easy to understand.

Any good suggestions?

That's an unreasonable demand.

We put efforts into running Crisscross.

The name is great.

But he just discarded the name.

As the investor,

he wants to do

as he pleases.

Since you don't

have any good suggestions,

let me put forward a name.

What do you think

of "Lost Time"?

"Lost Time"

doesn't match

the style of Crisscross.

It sounds more concordant

with the style of Pickup.

Mr. Yu,

what's your opinion

as the project head?

The name

is poetic.

In ancient times, Tang Xianzu wrote The Peony Pavilion

that contained the well-known phrase

"You are a beautiful woman, but lost time can't be found again".

In another country,

Proust wrote the famous novel

In Search of Lost Time.

"Lost Time"

can stir an emotional resonance

in the users

and the emotional resonance can spur the users

to keep their wonderful memories.

The name suits

the app's role

in enabling the users to socialize with their acquaintances

and our belief

that old friends and old times shouldn't be forgotten.

It's a good name.

It's a good name.

Mr. Song,

you made a good change.

It's a good change.

His words make sense.

Yes. He is right.

Now that you said so,

we have realized

and understood

how sophisticated

and connotative

the name

"Lost Time" is.

Nice.

"Lost Time" is both artistic

and catchy.

It's easy to promote such a name.

Mr. Song,

your suggestion is better

than anything we could come up with.

That's right.

We can generate heated discussion by changing our name.

It's a great starting point

for our promotion plan.

Come to think of it,

what a brilliant idea it is.

Since you all agree with me,

adjust the publicity plan

according to the new name.

Yes.

Mr. Yu,

he just changed the name without a second thought.

We have basically

finished preparing material.

We must change the name.

What can you do?

We are under his control. We have to submit to him.

He is the investor, after all.

The box looks pretty.

I like it very much.
