Seeing is believing.

Mr Zhou Chuan, you're exactly

like what I imagine.

You sure have great imagination.

Back then, Chu Li said

that you like my work.

Is that so?

Everyone likes your paintings.

Mr Zhou Chuan is just one of them.

I believe our project will go well.

Just like what Chu Li said,

people who appreciate each other's works

will connect with each other even better.

People with interesting minds are always on the same wavelength.

Don't you think so, Mr Zhou Chuan?

Appreciate each other?

Same wavelength?

I didn't know

that my editor actually has a glib tongue.

Why do both of you

seem a little weird?

No, no.

This is the first time Mr Zhou Chuan meets you,

he's too nervous,

can't even look straight at you.

Drink more water if you're nervous,

Mr Zhou Chuan.

When Chu Li told me you like my work,

I was doubtful.

But now it seems to me

that she wasn't lying.

Of course.

Lies are false,

lies are sins.

Why would I lie to you?

Exactly,

I knew you wouldn't lie to anyone.

Let... Let's talk business.

Let's talk business.

I posted

some test work in various styles on the internet.

If there's any style that you like,

you can tell me in advance.

If you like neither of them,

I will draw freely

according to your novel.

What do you think, Mr Zhou Chuan?

That's fine. That's fine.

In fact, Mr Zhou Chuan and I

do have some special bonds.

I bet you have no idea.

When I was just an ordinary illustrator,

there was an imitator in the forum

who has really similar writing style to yours.

He always wrote short captions for my artworks.

His style really assembles yours.

The netizens called him Little Zhou Chuan.

Is that so?

He must be really talented.

His style is really similar,

but his skill is a far cry from yours.

He could hardly catch up with you.

His stories are slow and ridiculous.

I couldn't even finish them.

Because of Little Zhou Chuan,

the netizens always said,

hey, Cocoon,

I wish you'd be able to draw a cover

for the real Zhou Chuan.

I can't believe that this is finally happening.

Do you think these imitators

are really annoying?

Don't get me wrong.

[Little Monkey]

I didn't mean anything.

So what do you mean?

[Saviour]

Mr Xia is calling us.

I bet it's about our next book.

Mr Zhou Chuan, are you angry?

I just wanted

to enjoy my dinner at home.

But you made me socialise with someone annoying.

I am starving,

but I still have to shop with you.

Can you pick up the pace?

Do you know Japanese and Korean?

No, I don't.

Then what were you reading?

Their prices are the same.

I was trying to find out which one is heavier

and worth it.

I'm going home.

[The Navy Hired by the Monkeys]

[I was so angry that I almost exploded!]

[If Mr Zhou Chuan]

[hadn't made up an excuse and left,]

[I would literally have flipped the table.]

[The Disappearing Mr Fox]

[I knew that Madam Cocoon wasn't a simple woman,]

[but I didn't expect her to be so ungrateful.]

[The Navy Hired by the Monkeys]

[How dare she made such comments about you?]

[If you hadn't written for her,]

[would an invisible illustrator like her]

[have gained popularity in such short period of time?]

[The Navy Hired by the Monkeys]

[Now that she's popular, she looks down on other people.]

[The Disappearing Mr Fox]

[You can't compare to Zhou Chuan yet,]

[but it's just a matter of luck and opportunity.]

The Navy Hired by the Monkeys

[To me, your skills]

[are just as good as his.]

[The Disappearing Mr Fox]

[It's half and half at the very least.]

[The Navy Hired by the Monkeys]

[Half and half might not be subjective.]

[Zhou Chuan is a professional writer after all, you're just a copycat.]

[But there should be 6:4.]

[You're four, he's six.]

[She really pissed me off.]

[6:4? What the heck?]

[The Navy Hired by the Monkeys]

[Now you know her real side.]

[The Disappearing Mr Fox]

[I knew it back then.]

What's taking you so long?

I'm hungry.

Let's go home and cook.

Coming, coming.

Yes, the title of this issue of Moonlight has to be changed.

It has to be changed.

Yes, yes. Mummy, I want it.

But I can’t make it to the printing house now.

Mummy, come.

I want you.

Yes, yes.

Mummy will be back soon.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Look at me. I'll take care of you.

You're such a busybody.

No, I'm not.

Chief Editor Yu was busy,

didn't you see that?

Come look at me. Don't cry.

I want mummy! I want mummy!

Come on. Who'd like it except babies?

Come do it if you can handle it.

Sure.

Mummy!

Good boy, don't cry.

I'll buy you candy later,

alright?

I want mummy! I want mummy!

I'll do it.

How would I know that he doesn't like candy?

This is...

I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

Qiu Qiu, Qiu Qiu, come here.

My baby, my baby.

Don't cry, alright? Mummy's here.

Mummy's here, mummy's here.

Oh, God.

What are you guys doing here?

It's not what you think, Chief Editor Yu.

I was worried that Mr Zhou Chuan would die from hunger at home.

So I made him come out and do some shopping.

You have to take good care of him,

But you should

mind your language, don't you think?

Yeah. Listen.

She's asking you to mind your language.

Chief Editor Yu,

are you here alone with your son?

Yeah.

Chu Li,

could I

ask you for another favour?

Thank you for being so kind.

My home-cook meal

has become customized meal in a restaurant.

And now it has become...

After Chief Editor Yu's mother

picks Qiu Qiu up,

we'll be free.

I'll cook something good for you tomorrow.

Auntie, is this brother your boyfriend?

No way!

Why do you call me auntie,

but he's brother?

He's better-looking than you are.

You have such a great taste.

You can be a scout after you grow up.

What is a scout?

A scout is someone who discovers people with good look.

For example, someone like me.

Then I've found someone,

she's my girlfriend.

You're so young,

do you even know what a girlfriend is?

I know.

In the games we play,

she's my wife.

We live together,

she even cooks for me.

Qiu Qiu, listen to me.

Living together and cooking for you

don't mean that you're boyfriend and girlfriend.

Both of you might be just landlord and tenant,

the kind of tenant who has to follow the house rules.

Eat up.

Qiu Qiu.

Granny!

Yao Yao told me everything,

thank you so much for today.

Otherwise, we wouldn't know

what to do today.

It's fine, it's fine.

Where is Qiu Qiu's father?

He stays in another city.

It's been a year since he last came back.

I'm the one who takes care of him.

Otherwise Yao Yao wouldn't be able to manage it.

I didn't know Chief Editor Yu has been through so much.

Alright then,

you should go home now.

Sorry to have caused you trouble today.

Don't worry, it's fine.

Say goodbye.

Goodbye.

We're leaving.

Chief Editor Yu is really capable,

she works and takes care of her family.

Then she messes both of them up.

She always makes mistakes

and doesn't take good care of her son.

That's because men always choose to work in another city.

Otherwise her burden can be lessened.

Don't attack us.

This has nothing to do with other men,

much less me.

This is the fifth time Cocoon sent me a friend request.

Don't approve her!

I already approved her.

Mr Zhou Chuan,

I thought you don't like her.

You knew I don't like her,

but you made me meet up with her.

I don't know

what made you so mad,

I have not gotten even with you yet.

I had no choice.

She insisted to talk to you personally.

So I said yes.

It's you who caused this to happen.

Even after you approved her,

you can't chat with her.

Are you trying to interfere in my private life?

Pay me your fine.

We're talking business here,

she just wants to skip over me and cotton up to you.

This doesn't concern just both of you.

It also concerns our editors,

art editors and even the requests from the printing house.

Tell her,

she has to discuss alongside managing editor and art editor as well.

I was just joking. I didn't approve her.

But your mood is a bit unstable today.

People of this industry said she's not easy to work with,

but you keep asking me to engage her,

saying that she's good and popular.

So what's going on now?

Have you regretted it?

It is her capability that I like.

As long as the illustrator can offer you a great book cover,

I will hire her even if she's a pain in the neck.

So, I will never regret it.

As for being mad at her,

I can't deny it.

That's because she spoke ill of my friend.

Your friend?

I'll be honest with you.

That Little Zhou Chuan

is actually a really good friend of mine.

But this is not the only thing that made me mad.

I think anyone who writes with all his heart

should not be made fun of.

He wrote for her artwork

with all his heart without any charges,

but she made fun of him behind his back.

That's really immoral.

That was an unreasonable justice.

But I'm telling the truth,

my friend is very talented.

He's like 3:7 with you.

You're seven, he's three.

3:7?

Are you sure?

Even if it's not 3:7,

there should be 2:8.

[It was 5:5, 6:4,]

[and now it's 8:2.]

[What a fence sitter.]

[You sure are ungrateful]

[with what Mr Fox has done for you.]

Medieval detective fiction,

that's rather interesting.

This book will be published at the same time

as Jiang Yu Cheng’s new book.

But I believe, with your cover,

it will be a big hit.

Ms Gu,

don't worry.

I will do a great job

with this cover.

Now we're talking.

I heard,

you promised to work with Yuan Yue Publishing House

before this, did you?

The word does get around very quickly.

You're right.

I'm working on a cover for Book of Luo He God.

But don't worry about it.

Your project will not be affected.

Not only that,

I want priority.

You mean...

Go through the contract first.

[Two illustrations, 30,000 Yuan]

This price seems different

from what we discussed earlier on.

I fought for you.

I hope you'll come up with a work equivalent to this price.

In that case,

we can work together in the future again.

Ms Gu, don't worry.

I will do my very best.

[Yuan Yue Publishing House]

Not bad. Thanks a lot.

You're welcome. It's my job.

It's great that you're here, Chu Li.

When can I get

Cocoon's first draft?

I have confirmed with Cocoon several times.

She will come up with a draft today.

After getting our confirmation,

she will give us a sketch this weekend.

The publicity from Yuan Yue Publishing House

has started.

So, after you get the sketch,

email it to me immediately.

Understand?

By the way,

this is the circulation proposal

that was sent by circulation department today.

Take a look at it.

Three hundred and fifty thousand copies?

What's the matter?

Can't you make it?

But they're asking for 350,000 copies in one shot,

this is way too...

Who would've expected

that his reputation would rocket up, right?

You're right,

but this amount is over the top.

This number

was proposed by Mr Liang

and approved by Mr Yang.

If anything goes wrong

on your side,

I think

you have to prepare yourself for the worst.

Chu Li,

this book is the most important book

of Yuan Yue Publishing House this year.

Everyone has high hopes for it.

So, no matter what difficulties you encounter,

you have to fix it.

What time is it now?

It's five before six.

Why hasn't Cocoon submitted her first draft yet?

I have no idea.

I've sent her many messages,

but she didn't reply any of them.

[Chu Li]

[Hi, the number you're calling...]

Ah Xiang, Ah Xiang,

lend me your phone.

Your password.

[How is it going with the draft?]

[Mr Zhou Chuan has been saying]

[that he is looking forward to it since yesterday.]

[Book of Luo He God Book Cover Progress Group]

[I'm just as excited]

[as Mr Zhou Chuan.]

[Book of Luo He God Book Cover Progress Group]

[Coming.]

[The draft is ready.]

[I'll send it to you right now.]

Look.

I couldn't reach her the entire afternoon.

She responded as soon as I mentioned Zhou Chuan.

In fact I'm quite excited.

I wonder what cover

Cocoon will draw for Mr Zhou Chuan.

[Something is wrong with my software.]

[The file has crashed.]

[Oh, God.]

[I spent the entire day for this draft.]

[What should I do?]

[Should I draw a new one for you?]

[I will send it to you before you start working tomorrow.]

[Sure.]

Through several years of experience as an art director,

the number of times my drawing soft-wares

was damaged beyond repair

was not more than five times.

Enough.

What can I do?

I can't diss her, can I?

I'm not a three-year-old.

A popular illustrator like Cocoon

usually has a lot of projects.

They'd choose buyers

who offer them higher price.

Yun Fei.

Do you have nothing to do?

Ms Gu.

[The Disappearing Zoo]

Have you submitted your work?

Er Gou, what are you licking?

I hope it will bring you sweet dreams.

Jiang Yu Cheng?

She's my editor,

why do you care about her sleep quality?

You have never given me any gift before.

She is also my editor.

Have I not given you any gift?

Who gave you that Tyrannosaurus

in second grade?

Everything has an order.

Are you sure you gave me that Tyrannosaurus?

I took it myself.

You took my stuff, how dare you be so proud about it!

She's been my reader for seven years,

speaking of order.

So what if she's been your reader for seven years?

She's still my editor.

Mr Jiang,

it's you.

I haven't come out for so long,

and I met you as soon as I left the house.

I'm so lucky.

Which editor you guys were talking about?

He bought essential oil for sleeping for my editor.

She's our editor.

That essential oil you bought the other day?

Have you been meeting very often recently?

-No. -No.

Mr Jiang,

your new book is just amazing.

After reading the first few chapters,

I couldn't help but kept reading it.

Let's do a toast.

How dare you drink?

Are you still writing tonight?

Here, brother.

I'll drink with you.

Are you publishing a new book?

Yes.

My book will be published at the same time as yours.

There's nothing wrong with publishing at the same time.

But if they share the same concept, that'd be terrible.

Am I right, Ms Gu?

I have faith in Yun Fei.

Brother,

you and I should drink today.

Come.

I wish our new books are selling well,

and the winners will be determined soon.

Good, Mr Jiang.

Just because of what you said,

I'll finish this.

But after drinking this,

we'll be rivals.

Brother,

nothing is absolute.

You still have a long way to go.

Come, here a toast for you.

You don't want to explain

or you don't know how to explain?

Don't forget that you're the only person

who knows the setting of my new book.

Now, your writer, Yun Fei is also writing the same thing.

Don't you think...

Yeah.

There's no way for you to explain it.

Is that what you think of you?

Forget it.

No. Let's make it clear.

Jiang Yu Cheng.

Do you not trust me?

Do you think this is ridiculous?

Of course it is.

[Because I am a joke to you.

I bet the past two years must've been hard for you.

It must be tough for you to face a writer

who's past his prime, am I right?

I think everything I've done for you

in the past two years was for your own good.

But have you ever listened to what I said?

For my own good?

Would you betray me if it was for my own good?

Betray?

I betrayed you?

So everything that I've done

is a betrayal?

I do not need your self-righteous effort.

You're not a joke, I'm a joke.

Gu Bai Zhi,

do you still love me?

We're done.

Now you can't dance any more, can you?

Young people still can continue dancing,

if your book doesn't sell as good as theirs in the future,

what should you do?

Mr Jiang Yu Cheng?

Were you guys drinking?

Why did he drink so much?

Poor Mr Jiang.

Is he stressed out recently?

I was a little negligent of him recently.

Come.

There'll be another house rule for the tenant.

It's forbidden to go on and on about that old man, Jiang

in front of the landlord.

Why?

What did Mr Jiang do to you?

Can't you see how tired I am?

All you care is Jiang Yu Cheng,

Jiang Yu Cheng, Jiang Yu Cheng,

That's because you seem energetic

and are in fine fettle.

Mr Zhou Chuan, you have great tolerance

to alcohol and other people.

I don't even get any hint of alcohol.

I've stopped drinking

to develop a concept for my new book.

New book?

It is forbidden to discuss work in the private time of the landlord.

It is forbidden to inquire about the privacy of the landlord.

It is forbidden to make the landlord reveal his plan.

Do you want to know?

So you've broken those three rules.

That's 300 yuan.

Why are you still awake at this hour?

I remember it now.

Did you go into my room

and open my gift?

Me?

Do I have to sneak into your room?

Am I a pervert?

Then why is the gift

Mr Jiang gave me open?

How do I know?

I saw it when Er Gou was biting it.

Listen, you should thank me instead.

Otherwise, would the essential oil remain intact?

Nonsense.

How was Er Gou able to open my door?

Go ahead and ask him.

I didn't go in.

Really?

If you dare to doubt the landlord again,

you'll be fined 500 yuan.

Fine.

I'll let you off this time.

You're letting me off?

But I'm not letting you off.

Let me ask you,

are you enjoying the privilege

with my name?

Since I hold the aces,

I definitely have to make good use of it.

Although I didn't manage to make her submit her work,

I still have to work hard.

Meanwhile, Mr Zhou Chuan, please lend me your name.

You didn't study finance in the university, did you?

You must've studied Face-changing of Sichuan Opera.

Please don't say that.

By the way,

there's millet porridge in the pot.

You can drink it when you're hungry.

I'll go upstairs now.

Tell me if you're coming up with a new book,

don't stay up late.

Come back.

What's the matter?

Be careful tomorrow morning.

Don't let Jiang see you.

I hate explaining to him.

Don't worry about it.

-This... -Hush.

Mr Jiang saw me.

It's fine.

He has a memory of a fish when he's drunk.

What a relief.

By the way,

keep it down when you're in your room.

He's drunk,

he'll sleep until 10 a.m. at the very least.

You won't meet him before work tomorrow.

Got it.

Rest early.

I'm going to sleep in my room now.

Good night, Mr Zhou Chuan.

Good night.

It's not even 10 o'clock yet, why did you wake up already?

Did you hear any noise?

Noise?

It's Er Gou.

It was so loud.

Look at you.

You're not young any more,

yet you drank until you vomited,

aren't you embarrassed?

Speaking of which, it was weird.

Usually when I'm drunk,

I'd sleep until the next day.

However, I dreamt of Chu Li last night.

What now?

You can't drink more than Yun Fei,

so you feel threatened now, don't you?

You won't even stop exploiting your editor in your dreams.

Maybe I just really enjoy the fact

that she's my editor.

Dreams at night

reflect daytime thoughts, I guess.

You think too much.

It's hot. It's so hot.

Cocoon is really a popular illustrator.

Under the boundless sky,

even the edge of the young man's clothes

was so vivid.

The vibe,

the lines,

and the story it portrays,

the end product will not be disappointing.

Here's the thing.

As I see it,

there's no technical issue with this illustration.

However, this is not a draft,

it's a semi-finished work.

Send it.

Isn't it a good thing that it's almost completed?

It's a good thing,

but what if we want to edit it?

Besides, we asked for two characters,

she only drew one character.

Cocoon doesn't reply my message again.

Ah Xiang,

what if... I'm saying, what if

something goes wrong with Cocoon's work,

do we have time to engage another artist?

I don't think we'll make it on time.

Take a look at Moonlight's Weibo account.

Someone published Cocoon's draft

as a sneak preview of Book of Luo He God.

The readers are anticipating it now.

Who did this?

Who did you cc it to?

Miao, Chief Editor Yu, Mr Xia?

No matter which one of them did it,

they're all my superiors.

Hello, Mr Jiang.

By the way, Mr Jiang,

why did you bring the meeting forward?

I was supposed

to attend Writers Association conference tomorrow,

but Zhou Chuan suddenly told me he's going as well.

So we have to take the same train.

Really?

He finally came around.

That's amazing.

Do you know Writers Association too?

I know a little bit.

I also want him to go.

The world of literature is vast after all,

what we learn is just a drop in the ocean.

I agree.

Speaking of which, I've read the second draft.

Here's my opinion.

Those parts marked with red

are the parts I wish you'd remove.

However, there are quite a lot to remove,

but it was really...

I have to remove the whole chapter?

Er Gou, I'm going on a business trip for a few days.

Stay home and listen to your sister,

do you understand?

Mr Zhou Chuan,

take care and enjoy the lecture.

Do you know where I'm going?

I just finished my meeting with Mr Jiang,

he told me.

Jiang Yu...

Concentrate on your meeting,

don't make small talk.

That wasn't a small talk,

we just happened to talk about you.

Happened to talk about me?

I was an accident?

If there's anything that you want to know,

could you just ask me in the future?

Don't ask him,

understand?

Buy canned dog food if it's not enough.

Claim the money from me later.

Take Er Gou to change dressing and remove stitches on Friday.

By the way, when I'm not here,

those 30 house rules are still effective.

Do you want to talk back to me?

Why would I?

How's the cover from Cocoon?

I told you not to engage Cocoon.

Now you regret it.

Did you slide down your sunglasses

just to tell me this?

How else can I see your regretful expression clearly?

That's right. This is the typical regretful expression.

Mr Zhou Chuan.

Don't expect me to save you.

It's degrading me.

Goodbye, take care.

Wait.

Do you have your phone, keys and wallet?

Don't be like my mum,

acting like I'm a three-year-old.

Your ID card.

ID card is so important,

why didn't you keep it in your wallet?

What is this?

Character and setting?

Manuscript?

[Ancient Chinese Dictionary]

[Zhou Chuan]

Oh my god, why would you use your ID card as a bookmark?

Thanks.

I owe you a favour.

Just go.

Wait for me to come back.

Mr Xia, did you want to see me?

[Book of Luo He God]

Come, look at these.

It is majestic, definitely not an average calligraphy.

Did you write this?

How is that possible?

It was written by the master of calligraphy, Jiang Bo Hai.

Our company does invest a lot.

No, no.

Old Zhou and Jiang

are good friends who grew up together.

Old Zhou asked him to write this.

We didn't even spend a penny.

Look at these two old friends.

One of them wrote a novel

and won Huazhi Award.

As for the other one,

he made remarkable accomplishment from calligraphy.

Is Old Zhou

the father of Zhou Chuan,

Mr Zhou Gu Xuan?

Yes.

What about Jiang Bo Hai?

He's the father of Jiang Yu Cheng.

Chu Li,

since we received such impressive calligraphy,

the title must be big.

Only bigger fonts can bring out

the impact of these words.

By the way,

how is it going with the cover?

I'm still working on it.

Chu Li,

the people in Yuan Yue Publishing House

are not confident about you.

You must make an achievement.

Otherwise, I will be dilemma as well.

[As time goes by,]

[contemporary literature and traditional literature...]

I didn't expect you to come.

I thought you said you would never come here.

Only a shameless loser would run away from it.

[Contemporary literature]

[is not just about pleasing readers blindly.]

Have you taken

some sorts of magical Tai Tai Oral Liquid recently?

Why are you as calm as Maitreya Buddha now?

[to create.]

[Little Monkey]

[She either went missing]

[or didn't draw according to our request.]

[Why would someone so talented but rude]

[even exist in this world?]

[I don't even know]

[how to hate her.]

[Recently, chinawriter.com...]

Is that Chu Li?

None of your business.

Let me see.

No, please focus on the lecture.

[So is that true?]

You're not focusing as well.

How dare you make such comment.

-Let me see. -No.

Let me see.

-Let me see it. -No.

I want to see it.

Mr Zhou Chuan and Mr Jiang Yu Cheng

on the fourth row in the middle,

please remain silent during the lecture.

Focus on the lesson.

Alright, we'll continue.

Hello?

Hello, Madam Cocoon

is killing me!

Mr Zhou Chuan, it is my fault.

Since I found your ID card,

please return my favour

by sacrificing yourself.

This instance, at this very moment, right now!

I beg you.

What kind of favour?

When I found your ID card the other day,

someone stood in front of the study

and swore that he owes me a favour.

That time, his eyes were glowing,

stepping on the colourful clouds,

wearing a cape,

just like a superhero.

Who was that?

Who could that be?

That's definitely Mr Zhou Chuan, the reincarnated superhero.

Oh, you.

[Listen to me.]

[Don't you break your promise.]

Er Gou can be our witness.

[Mr Zhou Chuan,]

[please.]

[Could you please talk to Madam Cocoon in the group]

[and ask her why she's gone missing again?]

She's gone missing?

Great. Hire someone else.

No.

Miao already made the announcement.

The whole world knows

that you're working with Madam Cocoon.

I guess skating on thin ice

best describe my current situation.

[Book of Luo He God Book Cover Progress Group @Break Free from Cocoon]

[How's the work going?]

[I saw the draft, it seems great.]

[Looking forward to the outcome.]

Hello.

[Book of Luo He God Book Cover Progress Group @Break Free from Cocoon]

Hello, Mr Zhou Chuan!

You're my life saviour!

Have you gotten down on your knees?

You have to thank me with your knees on the ground.

I got to go now.

I'm hanging up. Bye.

Who was that?

It's so rare

to find you speaking nicely to someone.

That was my editor.

She said there seems to be a problem

with the cover of Book of Luo He God.

I knew it.

I've asked Jiang to write calligraphy for you.

Who asked you to help me?

Do you think I like it?

Your mum has been nagging me every single day.

Fine. Then I need to thank mother and Uncle Jiang.

What about me?

I was the one who asked him to help.

You're right. Thank you so much.

That's more like it.

Cocoon's work is really good.

It is nice.

But she didn't make any changes

on the issues

that we requested last time.

Not only she didn't make changes,

she even finished it.

But it is too late

if you ask her to change now.

Don't you get it?

She refused to change anything.

If we use her illustration,

we can't include the calligraphy

that Mr Xia went through all the trouble to get.

But if we don't use her illustration,

we already made official announcement,

the circulation department will kill us.

What should we do?

Miss Chu Li,

are you trying to pick on me?

Everything is put down in black and white,

the work from the service provider must meet the requirements of the buyer.

Not only you have serious procrastination issue,

you also finished the illustration without any prior discussion,

caught our entire editorial department by surprise.

Now, I want you

to revise your work.

Don't pressurize me with the contract.

I want to speak to Mr Zhou Chuan personally.

Mr Zhou Chuan is away.

He switched off his phone,

even I can't reach him.

I knew it.

It was you.

It was you

who stopped Mr Zhou Chuan from contacting me.

What do you want?

I won't revise my work.

I will complain to Mr Zhou Chuan.

I respect you because you're the creator of this illustration,

this is why I've talked with you for several times.

But what about you?

You're still going your own way.

I'll give you a heads-up.

If you don't fix it

according to my request,

I'll ask someone else to fix it,

or

we might as well reject your work.

Reject my work?

You're a newbie,

how dare you push me about.

According to the contract, I totally have the right to do it.

If we reject your work,

please return us the deposit

and compensate us.

We'll do whatever we have to do.

You...

Mum, I'm going out.

Will you come home for dinner?

I don't think so.

Where are you going?

Come back here!

Sit down.

Tonight,

I'm buying dinner

for my old friends from publishing industry.

Come with me.

Sit down!

I'm not going.

They heard that you've come back,

so they personally asked for you.

They're showing you respect.

Who do you think you are?

Me?

I'm just a lowly scribbler.

Zhou Chuan!

It was you who said this.

What's going on with you two?

Why are you arguing?

You're making me headache.

Would it kill you

to stop fighting for a few days?

A scholarly family, huh?

Both of you are like dictators.

If the words get out,

you'll be a laughing stock.

Do you really think I don't know

the reason you refuse to go?

It's because those seniors

from the publishing house

refused to publish

your stupid debut work back in the days.

The stuff you wrote are trash!

You're wasting papers!

You don't have that skill.

Who is there to blame?

Zhou Gu Xuan!

You... Prick!

How dare you call your father

by his name?

You must've had bad influence during high-school.

You're a terrible son.

Failing to educate the child is the fault of the father.

Did I not educate you?

Was bringing you to this world

my fault?

I think

you might be right.

You...

Where are you going?

I'm running away from home.

What's wrong with the pipe?

Oh, God! Oh, God!

Hello? Hello? Is this the management office?

The pipe in 2070 is broken!

Can you send someone to fix it as soon as possible?

[Hi, there.]

[We'll file an urgent report.]

[But the plumber]

[can only come tomorrow morning.]

What? Tomorrow?

Do you not understand

the meaning of urgency?

If you come tomorrow, my house...

My... My house will be flooded.

Send someone to fix it now!

Turn off the valve if the pipe is broken.

Why did you cover it with your hand?

If the metal tube is broken,

you will hurt your hand!

Mr... Mr Zhou Chuan.
