Episode 17 The most beautiful day is not the rainy day...

Where is my phone?

You can't find it?

Xiaorou, your phone.

I've got something to tell you.

Zheng Ze came here yesterday

to return your phone.

Why don't you tell me earlier?

I saw you were busy just now,

so I didn't tell you.

I have explained it thoroughly.

But how well he could understand

is beyond my cognition.

Xiaorou is staying at Sasa's place.

Don't worry.

Let's meet our new director,

David.

Good morning, Director.

David. He is David.

I am so screwed.

Is that everything?

Just don't call me David from now on.

So it turns out that Zheng Ze is David.

David is Zheng Ze.

I know

that he must have gotten in through the backdoor.

It just never occurs to me

that his family owns this company.

It's too late anyway.

No, it is not the case.

They say it's never too late to mend.

Why are there only a few of them left?.

You're finally awake.

Are you feeling better now?

The doctor said you were poisoned by narcissus.

Narcissus poisoning?

How can you not tell the seeds of narcissus

from garlics?

What I've been through

since last night

feels like a dream.

It started with happiness

but ended in embarrassment.

Help.

Let go of me. Help! Help!

What's going on here?

Who the heck are you?

Are you alright?

What's the matter?

I am still that cursed girl,

who can never

get hold of happiness.

Perhaps what happened recently

was very unpleasant to you.

But do you remember

what you said?

There are many things in the world

that can be abandoned,

but the one thing we must hold fast to

is hope.

Considering your sleep habits,

here's a gift for you.

A house of my own is surely the most comfortable.

He really has a good appetite,

and drinks up all the beer.

How dare you change

the name of my Wi-Fi.

Your house would better be fixed as quickly as possible,

so you can return to your house.

The fixing work can be finished today?

That's right.

You can move back to your house

this evening.

You told me the work would be done till Monday, didn't you?

Well, sir,

are you complaining about the work schedule being too fast

or too slow?

Fastness is good. Well done.

I'll collect the house this afternoon.

All right, sir.

Boss, boss.

Tong came

and asked for information about male

and female guests from the last session.

What's his intention?

I have no idea.

Anyway,

he was very arrogant.

Did you give him the information?

How could I?

Who knows what he plans to do?

You ask around for me.

Don't worry.

I'll get the latest information

in no more than half an hour.

Your audience rating for this session

have dropped by 0.22.

Director, you can't blame me on this one.

That program was aired at the same time of other programs.

What's more, a live game was aired that day.

You always come up with so many reasons.

But what matters is the data.

Sponsors are very sensitive.

If your audience rating

keeps falling like this,

the sponsors will be gone.

What about this?

Director,

let me assure you that

I will definitely catch up from behind.

You gave me the same assurance last time.

You should learn from Chi Xin

and pay more attention to programming.

Please don't talk about Chi Xin

all the time.

You should admit

that Chi Xin's personal ability

is better than you.

If only you had learned

from him humbly,

your program would have been better.

You are so right, director.

Definitely right, director.

Come in.

Chi Xin, you are here.

Don't stand there. Sit down.

Last time you let me sit down,

you withdrew my program.

Well,

are you planning to let Producer Tong

take over my program?

Not that serious.

Just want to talk with you about something relaxing.

Please be seated.

Have you heard the matter about Zheng Ze?

Yes.

A second-generation rich. He hid himself so well.

What a shame.

Director,

with such a good public persona,

if we had found out earlier,

the audience rate for that program

wouldn't have been so low.

Producer Chi,

you have always been very careful.

This time, you were neglectful.

Of course.

I surely need

to learn from you, Producer Tong,

right?

It really needs a capable person

to make a program as good as Onward Youth

end up with

such a low rating.

Don't be sarcastic.

I mean

the hidden information of the guests.

How come you criticize my program?

I am just telling the truth.

What truth are you telling?

Okay, stop. That's it.

Don't start the war of words.

Tong Liang, wait outside.

I...

You

shouldn't argue with him about trivial things.

Let's return to business.

We need to use the story of Zheng Ze.

It's really a good topic, right?

And you haven't decided

the guest

for your program, right?

But we can't just

keep waiting like this, right?

Why not letting Zheng Ze

and that female guest

act in another special session?

No way,

it does not match the form of my program.

It is just a special session.

You can get them into a honeymoon journey

and give some public displays of affection.

Think about it.

It is a reality version of

a sparrow turning into a phoenix.

The rating will climb up definitely.

What honeymoon and public display of affection?

You are turning this into a farce.

You!

Impossible!

So stubborn!

You tell me, what's

the intention of Boss Tong?

Stop talking.

Someone is here.

It's just a cleaner, ignore him.

He asked us to poach from the other program group.

Is it appropriate?

Of course not.

Let me tell you, that Zheng...

Let's go talk over there.

It's real trouble.

So annoying.

I told you

that Zheng Ze's identity

has just been exposed days ago.

He turns out to be the heir of a big company or what.

So we should make use of

his popularity.

But he is really rich,

it is hard to say if we can invite him over.

It is not our call.

That cursed girl

is the secret weapon

of the neighboring program group.

If our boss can invite her over,

we won't have to worry about

the audience rating of our program.

Of course.

That's right.

But...

What's the matter with you?

Go away.

What are you doing?

Ignore him, let's go.

Follow us everywhere.

What an annoying man!

He really is.

I tell you

it will be so wonderful

if our program can invite her over.

Hope so.

Is this the show window

designed by Ding Xiaorou?

No.

Xiaorou is in hospital now.

She must be exhausted from

working too hard recently.

Therefore, in the spirit of mutual love

and support among colleagues,

I personally dress the window up

with my assistants.

I texted her

that she shouldn't be worried

and should have a good rest.

I think that

the show window

is the face

of a store.

How can it be empty?

In order to give our store

a beautiful face,

I personally dressed it up

with my assistants

at 6 o'clock in the morning.

What do you think, Mr. Zheng?

If we follow your theory,

it's a pity that

the face of our store

has been totally lost by you.

One should pay back his debt.

Fight on,

you can do it.

Boss.

I've gotten something.

Very efficient.

I'll buy your dinner, go ahead.

The man named Tong something

surely has no good intention.

He is planning to invite

Ding Xiaorou and Zheng Ze

to be female and male guests

of his program.

Even the director has said ok to this idea.

Are you sure?

Of course.

I heard his assistants talking

on the roof,

just after you have broken down your conversation

with the director.

I heard what you said

and I totally agree with you.

You are definitely farseeing

and resourceful,

with a big picture in mind.

Why is that?

You say that

guests are the key to any program.

Think it through.

If this pair of guests can be invited to their program of

Sandstorm of Love,

they can also participate in our

Onward Youth.

Our program has beautiful exteriors,

interesting and interactive games,

which is most suitable for your idea of

honeymoon journey

and public displays of affection.

Therefore, this couple

is more suitable for our program of

Onward Youth.

You do think it through.

I learn it from you.

You see, that's how I think.

I want to ask you a question first.

Why did the last session of

Chi Xin's program go viral?

It is simply because of

that cursed girl.

She is the key.

So if we invite

the couple of

the cursed girl and Zheng Ze

over to our program,

the audience rate of our program will rise.

Don't worry about

the current fall of 0.2,

it is definitely possible to double the audience rate.

It will rise naturally,

right?

Go on.

I think the key to this case

is to take down Ding Xiaorou first.

If Ding Xiaorou comes,

Zheng Ze will follow.

If Zheng Ze comes,

the sponsorship fees will follow.

We can have it both ways.

Just the neighboring program group

is not very cooperative.

Why?

I don't have the contact information

of Ding Xiaorou and Zheng Ze.

I can't be so low

to steal from others

of those contact numbers.

So I need a favor from you.

Would you please ask Chi Xin for that information?

I repeat.

No one is allowed

to steal my guests.

How can you eavesdrop on us?

Moreover, how come they are your guests?

After being recorded in your program,

they are free to go.

They are not raised by you.

Director,

after the last recording,

the female guest encountered a lot of troubles.

Many people

come up to her for her curse.

Just yesterday,

a pervert followed her

and almost attacked her.

I believe that

regardless of any purpose,

we should stop

making use of

the concept of the cursed girl.

Chi Xin,

don't you play nice

after you have taken all advantages.

Don't you forget, Chi Xin,

it was you who

have found the cursed girl in the first place.

Yes,

I admit I was wrong.

But I don't want to repeat my mistake.

If I can't protect

guests of my show,

I would rather

stop shooting this program any more.

Director, I can't stand it.

He is definitely threatening you.

Director,

you told me before

that a producer

must stick to his own principles.

Chi Xin,

stop telling different stories

before and behind others.

Humph, now you are talking about principles.

So what? I'm just telling the truth.

That's it.

Stop quarrelling.

Chi Xin,

is what you said true?

The consequence is so serious?

Absolutely true.

All right, I see.

Producer Chi,

look at you!

You have such a terrible fight

with our director

over a female guest,

it just doesn't feel right.

If you have time to goof around,

you'd better think about

how to increase your audience rate.

All right.

I still have one more thing to ask you.

What's your relationship with

Ding Xiaorou.

How come you know clearly

when she was splashed with coffee

and when she was kidnapped?

Are there any hidden secrets

between you two?

I warn you not to talk nonsense.

Let's compete with our programs.

Stop telling small talks

like a woman.

Chi,

just wait and see.

The show window is not bad,

just a little outlying.

Ding Xiaorou.

I don't know why

you suddenly started hiding from me.

But now,

I am asking you out

personally.

I will wait for you here

at two o'clock this afternoon.

Zheng Ze.

Why do you bring me here?

Isn't this

the middle school I graduated from?

This way.

I have a little secret

to share with you.

Eight years ago, when I was in high school,

my parents

just started up their business,

and they were buried with their work all day long.

Back then,

I was introverted and sensitive,

and the only thing accompanied me was

the cartoon books named One Piece.

Once,

I was caught by

a grumpy teacher

for drawing cartons

on the school blackboard.

We called him Bucktooth Zhu.

So you know Bucktooth Zhu?

Zheng Ze,

who allowed you to scribble on the blackboard?

That teacher

scolded me badly,

and said my drawings

had comprised the sacredness of the blackboard newspaper.

So he punished me to stand in the corner

until I caught the next student

messing up

the blackboard newspaper.

Come on.

Wait for me.

Hurry up.

Hey pal,

why are standing here like a fool?

Did you fail in love?

It's raining, can't you feel it?

Must be that Bucktooth Zhu.

Did he ask you to

catch the next troublemaker

before letting you go?

Why did you follow

such an inhuman order?

You will get cold.

Hey,

what are you doing?

So you were that spectacled boy

who was punished to stand in the rain.

=The city's night is lit up by neon lights.=

=It is cool in the street after the rain.=

=I forget how long I haven't flown for lacking courage.=

=I look for direction alone in the crowd.=

=I carefully hide my wings.=

=I really want to keep you with me=

=to stop you from wandering alone.=

=Stay by your side.=

=In this crowded world,=

=gently hold your hand=

=to make you be braver.=

=Listen to the unsaid=

=my promise to you.=

Eight years ago,

you appeared in the rain for the first time.

Even now, I still

remember your smile.

Later,

I moved

to a faraway city with my parents.

I used to think that

I would never see the girl again.

=Promise to you.=

Thanks to the destiny

that makes us meet again.

So I say to myself

that I will cherish

this fate of love.

=Maybe memories make you cry again=

=and forget how to open your heart.=

=Promise is too easily broken like a balloon.=

=Every time, you pretended strong=

=without being hurt.=

=I was too stupid and too dumb=

=to become your protector.=

=Stay by my side.=

=After the long waiting,=

=I'll give you the entire universe.=

=Please give me another chance.=

Remember the last time you asked me

if there is a script for the confession of love

in the show.

Sorry,

I lied.

In fact, there is no script

for love confession in the show.

Moreover,

I did all this for you

not because of

the CP agreement.

Not because of the agreement?

You said before that

everyone is a show window.

As long as you light up yourself,

there will come someone

who will stop by to admire you.

=If freedom is what you want,=

=how can I be so cruel to stop you?=

Zheng, Zheng Ze,

thank you.

It never occurs to me

that you would tell me this.

It is the first time that

someone did so much for me.

I really appreciate your efforts.

I am a little bewildered.

My mind is in a turmoil.

Can you

give me some time

to calm myself down?

It doesn't matter.

I know that everything

happens so suddenly today.

You don't have to rush to give me a reply.

Don't hide from me anymore.

It is ok that

you just treat me as a friend.

=Promise to you.=

Ding Xiaorou,

let me tell you.

If something less serious

than being poisoned yesterday happened to you,

I would...

Oh, my god. Oh, my god.

Is this a second love confession

from Zheng Ze?

See, what did I say?

Zheng Ze's feeling for her

is much more complicated than

a paper of agreement.

So he didn't made up

the thing happened in high school, did he?

No, he didn't.

I had impressions of that occurrence.

Just he was wearing glasses

and had a totally different

outlook and personality.

So it is real fate.

Talking about your story back in high school,

it really makes me,

an old lady born in the 1990s,

feel romantic.

However,

why you didn't say yes.

Right,

are you stunned

by happiness?

You have let go of such a good chance.

I have no idea, either.

I am sure I was moved.

But when it occurs to me

that it was a most real

love confession in real life,

not an act in the show,

I feel very scared again.

Haunting memories

from the past thirty-plus

failed love confessions

must have cast a shadow on you.

So now,

once confessions happen again,

you feel scary.

Eat one more ice cream breaking the curse.

It is up to you

to decide whether you want to accept him or not.

You said that it would be better for you two

to calm down and think it through.

I believe that

it is a very responsible decision.

Don't be too calm.

After all, Zheng Ze's conditions are much better,

and he is not as silly

as my Zheng.

So it is now or never.

Again? If you don't accept him, leave him to me.

Again?

How's your stalking these days?

My skills

will never let my employer down.

Why did I hear

that someone's cover was almost blown yesterday?

I was neglectful that time.

What good pictures did you get hold of?

The pictures are more than good.

As long as you can pay a decent price,

I assure you

a big surprise.

It seems that you have been discharged from the hospital.

Your appetite is not bad.

It's really troublesome for you to hide around.

She is already a grown-up

but still don't know how to pack up her own stuff.

So troublesome.

The bed is too high,

how can I sleep well?

I need to scan the QR code for food

and groceries.

The price is higher than any supermarket.

I won't stay here anymore even for free.

I'll move out of here.

How does she

lead her life?

I thought good Feng Shui

would enhance my sleep.

I didn't expect that only two days later

my conditions came back to me.

Nowadays the delivery man can knock at the doors

so loudly, can't they?

Just put the package in front of the door.

Is it freight collect?

Wait a minute.

Stop knocking.

I am coming.

Stop knocking.

Coming.

Really sucks.

She doesn't look like a delivery woman.

Can't it be a scam?

Who are you?

Sorry,

I might knock the wrong door.

Sorry for that.

Wait a minute.

Is Ding Xiaorou

living here?

Yes.

And you are?

I am her mother.

Where is my daughter?

She...

Ding Xiaorou.

Ding Xiaorou.

Aunt. Aunt.

Xiaorou is not home.

But you are here.

Who are you?

I'm her friend.

Friend?

You are her boyfriend, right?

You are Zheng Ze?

No, I am not.

I don't look like Zheng Ze at all.

You are not Zheng Ze?

So why are you here?

Who are you indeed?

-It's not the case. I am... -Stop moving.

Let me tell you.

I have uploaded your photo

onto the WeChat Moments.

If I don't reply to the comments below

within five minutes,

someone will call the police immediately.

-It's not the case. -I told you to stop moving.

I won't move.

Oh, my god.

What's wrong?

My mom is here.

I am screwed.

What?

Where are you?

I feel like she's catching fire.

Hurry up.

Sir,

could you please drive faster?

It is really most urgent.

Little girl,

the car is going to fly up in the air.

Do you want to shoot the rocket?

Calm her down first. Come on.

So how to calm her down?

You are a director.

It's a piece of cake for you.

You really don't look like him.

Aunt, what do you mean?

You are not her boyfriend.

Of course not.

How can I be her boyfriend?

So why are you here at her house?

It's a long story.

Actually, I am her neighbor.

I live downstairs.

Xiaorou's water pipe burst

and drowned my house.

So I slept over for a few days.

So it's cohabitation?

How can you live together because of the broken water pipe?

What's wrong

with today's young people?

How can you be so casual?

Aunt, we are not cohabiting.

Not cohabiting.

I paid to live here.

Paid?

Paid for what?

Paid...

No, not paid.

Paid...

We have discussed the matter.

So you kicked her out?

No, I didn't kick her out.

We made a deal.

We thought it was

the best solution.

So you mean my daughter

came all the way here

to live such a miserable life?

And someone is paid to...

Aunt,

please allow me to explain it clearly.

You don't need to explain anything. Sit down.

We'll wait for her.

Mom, you are here.

What have you explained to her?

How come she is so angry now?

I just explained to her what you wanted me to say.

Great,

I'd better say nothing.

Why don't you talk with each other

since you are living together here?

We are just neighbors.

Can neighbors live in the same house?

Aunt, it's not the case.

It's not what you believe.

We didn't sleep together.

Sleep?

How dare you say not sleep?

Do you want to sleep with her?

Mom,

he just wants to give a clear explanation of the matter.

Nothing else.

Stop talking, OK?

Stop.

If you can, you should explain to her.

It's your turn now.

I posted his photo

to my Moments.

You even gave it a like.

What do you mean?

Are you declaring a war on me?

Mom,

I was so nervous

that I accidently liked it.

It's really because of the broken water pipe.

As his neighbor,

I can't neglect his trouble.

The broken water pipe?

My veins are going to

explode right now!

Don't you know?

When I walked into this residential block,

even the guard

knew that you were living together.

That's so inappropriate.

You say

you are a single and unmarried young woman.

Do you still want to

find a husband?

I was too ashamed to say it.

Look at yourself.

If you want a romantic relationship,

just find yourself a boyfriend.

Why did you show up in the TV program?

My friends even came to ask me

if my daughter was

that cursed girl

who had been dumped 30 times.

I don't even know

how to explain.

What cursed girl?

How come a girl

want to name herself like this?

Don't you feel ashamed of yourself

for making such a big farce.

Who was it?

Who persuaded you to show up in that poor program?

If I remain silent,

you still feel proud of yourself.

You told me

that you had to go to a big city

to find

the job you want to do.

So what do you do now?

Decorating those poor windows.

Mum, it's called window design.

It's the same case.

It doesn't matter whether you can make money,

but look at the indecent friend

you have made.

Aunt,

I shouldn't interrupt you

scolding your own daughter.

But as her friend,

-I believe... - Aren't you her neighbor?

When do you become her friend?

I invited her to show up on TV.

But I did that for...

What?

You invited her?

Xiaorou,

look at the friend you have made.

You are a real idiot

who is sold but still helps count the money.

This man is so terrifying.

What did I say to you

when you left home?

How can you forget them all?

Well, aunt.

Don't call me aunt.

Why are you still standing here?

Go away.

Mom.

What are they

talking about?

What can they talk about?

-Just gossips. -Zheng Ze.

It turns out that

Zheng Ze is

the heir to Taigu Group,

a true second-generation rich.

Really a wealthy man.

What are you talking about?

You don't know it?

Right, you were

not here yesterday,

Boss.

Don't you feel stressful?

Me?

What stress?

What's the valuation for Taigu Group?

At least billions.

Are you OK, boss?

I'm fine.

Hey, the director wanted

you to come over to his office.

All right.

Are you OK?

I am OK.
