Moonlight

Episode 25

I know you're single, but you can't just act like this.

You're having sinister thoughts

when you see a happy couple like us.

But, your relationship with her is

practically the same as you being single.

Get out.

I've been waiting for you to say that for a long time.

Let me call Gu Bai Zhi then.

Why are you calling her?

I'm curious about how you two

maintained your relationship when you're a person like this.

There are three solutions to this.

They're suitable for all kinds of situations.

Heat up the pan and put your steak in.

First,

you need to cook for her personally.

Because when both of you are busy with work,

you two won't have opportunities to eat with each other.

Time will always separate you two.

At this time,

someone needs to stand out

and break the balance.

The meal you prepared for her will be your opportunity.

You're really lucky.

You have steaks for dinner these few days.

Next,

the way you speak is very important.

But,

flattery doesn't work.

You should ask her directly

and see what you can help her with.

Let her know that

you're there for her

no matter how tired she is.

I know you're worried about Suo Heng.

I know you have no time for me lately.

But, don't worry.

I will take care of myself.

You can tell me everything.

Not only am I your boyfriend, Zhou Chuan,

I'm your best friend, Mr Fox, as well.

Get her a present.

All girls like it when boys give them presents.

Don't think that buying her accessories is old-fashioned.

No matter how different she is,

girls will always be girls.

Why hasn't she returned yet?

Why have you only returned by now?

I was too busy.

Have you eaten?

No. I was waiting for you.

I told you that...

I've eaten already.

I need to work overtime later.

You need to work overtime even though you're back?

Since when does Yuan Yue Publishing House

know how to extort their employees?

It's not that.

I'm going to the printing factory tomorrow.

I have to prepare all of the materials by tonight.

You...

I've prepared dinner.

Let's eat.

I thought you ate already?

Can you still finish the dinner I've made?

I feel hungry suddenly.

It's cold.

Let me heat it up for you.

Men who cook are the coolest.

But of course.

By the way, I've prepared a movie as well.

We can watch it later.

If you don't feel like watching the movie,

we can play some games.

We'll do whatever you want to do.

By the way...

Chu Li,

Flying Elephant

I've encountered a problem with Suo Heng's front cover.

Were you caught in the traffic when you took the bus?

Do you need me to send you to work?

I'll send you there and pick you up as well.

Not only will you be able to

save money,

you'll be able to rest on my car on your way there.

What do you think?

Enjoy it while it's hot.

Take your time.

I know you've been busy lately.

What I want to say is...

Mister,

I had my fill already.

Thank you for your dinner.

Although tonight was very romantic,

I still have work that I need to finish.

I'm not done with Suo Heng's front cover yet.

I'll leave now.

Delicious!

So delicious!

It's really delicious!

I don't believe it.

It's so delicious!

I'm going to take a walk with my dog. Do you want to join me?

No thanks.

You had a large piece of steak.

Don't you want some desserts later?

No thanks.

It hurts! I think I have a bone fracture!

Just kidding.

Do not disturb

♫ What time is it? You are still sleeping? ♫

No, this mustn't continue on.

♫ Chopping wood, keeping a dog, working ♫

♫ Where did I stop yesterday? ♫

♫ I can replay my feelings ♫

♫ Daydreaming in the dark of night ♫

♫ Chasing after you beyond the universe ♫

♫ Be a darling in the gorgeous castle ♫

♫ It's not like this ♫

♫ Oh, waiting for your signal, hello ♫

♫ My cutie is here ♫

♫ We have a date online and offline ♫

♫ Ding ding ding, my cutie is calling ♫

♫ Specialise in treating charming laziness ♫

♫ Ding ding ding, my cutie is here ♫

♫ I simply treat you as the role model ♫

Breakfast is ready. Are you awake?

I'll send you to work after we finish breakfast.

♫ Ding ding ding, my cutie is here ♫

I'm coming in.

♫ I fell in love with a mischief-maker ♫

Where is she?

Hello, Jiang Yu Chen?

Can I really trust you?

What kind of lousy solutions were those?

I...

Little Deity belongs to the ancient Chinese novel category.

Now, we have two editions. One with a hard cover and one with a normal cover.

But, regarding the one with a hard cover,

I need to inquire the price from your printing factory beforehand.

And I'll make the decision based on our budget.

Price?

Please wait a moment.

I'll go and check right away.

No need for that.

You can tell me the price tonight after your inquiry.

I'm really sorry.

I'm new to the place.

I don't know

the price for this as well.

It's fine.

Okay.

By the way, you need to get this clear.

For Little Deity's online pre-sale edition,

it contains unique stickers outside its plastic wrap.

There will be gifts, posters, and bookmarks as well.

All of them must be included.

You mustn't mix them up.

Take your time.

Don't be anxious.

I would rather you jot everything down clearly.

She's too much.

She always follows me around and addresses me as

Mr Zhou Chuan before we became a couple.

Now that we're together,

she's ignoring me

even though it's only been a few days.

This was supposed to be Full House.

But, why does it feel like The Break-Up?

Have a seat.

Do you know what you resemble right now?

A concubine who has been banished to the Cold Palace.

Or a house-husband who isn't satisfied with his married life.

You do know yourself well.

But, you're more like

a peacock that's seeking for attention.

You're spreading your tails like crazy when no one is paying attention.

If I must say,

I think Chu Li was too busy these few days.

She didn't catch what you were trying to do at all.

You should stop imagining things.

You don't understand at all.

A relationship is doomed to fail

once someone neglects the other party due to their work.

You should know that the best.

Didn't you and Gu Bai Zhi break up

because of the same reason?

Can you just focus on your own problem?

Don't try to drag me into this.

I know what kind of problem I'm facing right now.

I shouldn't have asked for your opinion in the first place.

If your solutions did work,

you would've been married with Gu Bai Zhi long ago.

I shouldn't have asked for your opinion in the first place.

In the end, I still need to depend on myself.

Chu Li,

you're acting like

a capable editor now.

Many readers are curious about you, you know?

I would rather become an editor who's invisible.

Editors work behind the scenes.

It's great as long as we can help the writers to publish their books.

There's no need for people to know of our existence.

It's fine when there's no trouble,

but I'll be reprimanded if I'm in trouble because of it.

What's wrong?

Your phone was ringing non-stop just now.

Is there anything wrong?

It's Mr Zhou Chuan.

I don't know what's wrong with him lately.

He has been forwarding

some weird articles to me lately.

What articles?

Can I have a look?

I want to read the things

my idol reads usually.

Come.

Why we go cold on our partners?

Why don't women leave men even after

falling out of the relationship?

Women who truly love you

will fulfil two of the circumstances below.

What? Do you want to tell me something?

Chu Li,

have you been ignoring Mr Zhou Chuan lately?

Why do you say so?

All these articles are so blatantly obvious.

He's seeking for attention.

I don't need to work overtime tonight.

I'll make a feast for you tonight.

I don't need to work overtime tonight.

I'll make a feast for you tonight.

Listen.

Listen to it.

The candlelit dinner was useless.

Do you see

how good and efficient I am?

Please don't give me

any relationship advice in the future.

You're not good enough.

You should consult me

before you court a girl in the future.

I didn't expect myself to be a genius at something else

besides writing.

Genius? My foot.

I've checked the advance copy and the gifts.

They're fine.

But you must remember to key in the online pre-sale edition

as a different entry from the normal edition.

You hear me?

Yes, madam.

Coming.

Sister Chu Li, I'll hang up now.

Don't worry.

I'll handle this for you.

Mr Jiang,

I'm really sorry.

I can't attend your function.

Because I'm not done with

Ms Suo Heng's books yet.

You don't need to apologize to him.

You're my girlfriend.

Why are you trying to join him?

I need to correct something.

I didn't invite your girlfriend.

I invited my editor.

Mr Jiang, how about this?

Let Zhou Chuan join you for the function

since it didn't state that you need a female partner to enter.

-Are you out of your mind? -No thanks.

Mr Zhou Chuan, stop pretending.

When Mr Jiang gave me

the signed copy of The Disappearing Amusement Park,

not only did you take it for yourself,

you didn't even let me

take a look at the heart sticker on the book.

What's with that?

You're my girlfriend, you know? Why are you curious about

the heart sticker left by him?

Are you done? Leave when you're done.

I can't stand you anymore.

You're not allowed to let him stay.

-I didn't plan... -Don't worry.

I don't plan to stay for dinner as well.

Chu Li, see you next time.

See her? You're not allowed to see her!

You're finally skipping work

for me today?

So, do you want me to come home?

Will you believe me if I say no?

No.

Give me your hands.

I've been invisible to you

for the past few days.

Why did you buy a present for me then?

If I don't do anything,

we'll go through a breakup soon.

No way. We're in the middle of our love bubble.

How are we in a love bubble

when we're barely talking to each other?

You don't let me kiss you at all.

It's not that I'm objecting to that.

It's just that there isn't any opportunity.

Come on then.

I'm ready.

This is more like it.

Seems like the chapters

I've sent to you weren't in vain.

What? Chapters of your new novel?

I just sent them to your email.

I'm going to take a look at them!

I shouldn't have said that.

Yuan Yue Publishing House

Mr Nian Nian,

I've already started to inspect your scripts.

By the way,

didn't you say that

my shampoo smelled nice?

I bought extra this time.

I'll send them to you later.

You're welcome.

Alright, see you.

Mr He Ma?

How is it? Have you returned to the country?

I was planning to prepare a welcoming dinner for you.

The weekend? I'm fine with that.

By the way,

regarding the writer of Luo Yi Monk,

Mr Yu Bo,

have you contacted him for me?

What?

You want me to bring Chu Li with me?

Mr He Ma,

Chu Li is very famous now.

You may not be able to meet her.

Even I couldn't meet her often.

How about this? I'll contact you if I'm able to

arrange for an appointment with her.

Okay?

That's all for now.

Alright.

Ms Suo Heng, this is great.

The number of copies for your first print run are increasing.

Thank you, Chu Li.

It's all thanks to you.

Thank you so much.

Not at all. You should credit yourself as well.

I didn't expect us

to receive 65,000 orders

from the pre-sale online and the hard copies.

That means you'll be able to sell 70,000 books for your first print run.

I've contacted the printing factory for the printing of your books.

Chu Li, it's all thanks to you.

Let me treat you to dinner tonight.

I appreciate your effort.

I can't have dinner with you tonight.

I still need to work overtime

to complete your book.

We can go and celebrate our success

after your book is listed on the market.

We must tell Chief Editor Yu to join us as well.

You may not know,

but she went to check out the sequence

for your books this morning.

She hasn't even returned yet.

Is that so?

Thank her for me.

You want me to thank her for you?

You should thank her yourself.

I'm sure she'll be delighted.

I'm back.

Overtime shifts again?

Why is the living room always messy?

Can't you guys just clean it up?

Mum!

My baby.

Our house wouldn't be in this mess

if you didn't work overtime every day.

Baby,

after I'm finished with my work,

let's go and celebrate

your birthday in Disneyland,

okay?

That's great.

Mum, there's one more week before my birthday.

Can I have the chocolate

Grandma left for me?

Baby, I told you before.

What will happen to you if you consume too much sweets?

I will have a toothache, and worms will attack my tooth.

Yes, my baby. You're right.

Just let him have one.

My mother bought it especially for him, you know?

As adults, we mustn't spoil our children.

Just tell Mum

to stop buying sweet things for him.

My mother was the one who's been taking care of him lately.

What's wrong with having a few sweets?

Qiu Qiu, let's go.

Let's take a bath.

After that, we'll go to sleep.

Suo Heng

Thank you.

Congratulations.

Why are you here alone?

Chu Li couldn't come as she has an emergency to attend to.

Bai Zhi,

this is?

You must be Mr Jiang.

I've heard many things about you. I'm Luo Wen.

I'm from Xin Dun Books.

Hello, Mr Luo.

People often told me that Mr Jiang is young and talented.

Your reputation is well-deserved.

Mr Jiang, I'm an avid reader of yours.

I've been reading all of your books.

I hope that

we can work together in the future.

You flatter me.

Where's Yun Fei?

-Yun Fei... -Yun Fei

is busy for the past few days.

That's why I'm here on his behalf.

I won't interrupt you guys then.

Please accompany Mr Jiang.

No problem.

Next time, you can find me.

What?

You can find me

if you lack a male partner.

Let's have a drink.

Mr Lu,

do you remember me?

I'm Luo Wen from Xin Dun Books.

I do remember you.

Please.

Alright.

Mr Lu.

Look at your Mr Luo.

He's following Mr Lu like a puppy.

Flattery doesn't work on

Mr Lu at all.

And I still remember that

last time...

Isn't this Mr Jiang Yu Cheng?

We meet again.

Your novel,

The Disappearing Amusement Park,

it sold like hotcakes.

I read the book.

I was so regretful.

How could I part ways with an impeccable novel

like that?

Is that so?

What do you think about Li Su's ending then?

Li Su?

He left a deep impression on me.

I think his ending is great.

Since Mr Jiang is one of

the best writers out there.

Li Su doesn't exist in the novel.

Yeah.

I think I'm getting too old.

My memories aren't as good as they used to be.

Excuse me, but you are?

She's Gu Bai Zhi from Xin Dun Books.

Ms Gu from Xin Dun Books?

It's a pleasure to meet you.

It's an honour to see you here.

This...

This is my name card.

Ms Gu.

Mr Jiang.

So,

I won't interrupt you guys then.

Please continue.

Ms Wen Xiang,

this is my name card.

Let's go.

What are you doing?

I have many ideas that I want to propose to you.

Hey!

I'm sorry about that.

It's fine.

Ms Gu, I know you didn't do it on purpose.

It's just an accident.

Give me a tissue.

Look at him.

He was enraged,

but he still pretended to smile.

If you work with a person like him,

he might stab you in the back one day.

That Wang Yang

has been trying to ruin your reputation

just because he couldn't publish your book, The Disappearing Zoo.

I wanted to teach him a lesson long ago.

Why do you guys remember my affairs

more clearly than me?

You guys?

Who else is there? Zhou Chuan?

Yeah.

Back then,

Zhou Chuan and I were nobody.

We couldn't do anything about it.

We could only keep it to ourselves.

Besides,

I was your editor back then.

I've finally avenged myself

today.

I've reached home.

I'll go in now.

Wait.

Does it still count?

What do you mean?

♫ No dancing on the roof, but rain ♫

Last time, at the book fair,

♫ The loneliness has found a place and moved out ♫

You're awake?

What is this?

This is a gift that I was supposed to give to you three years ago.

You're going to be late for work.

Although I haven't finished it, Mr Zhou Chuan,

your new novel

might be your new masterpiece.

Every book of mine is a masterpiece.

I'll go up then.

I still need to work overtime tonight.

You don't need to wait for me tonight.

You owe me some kisses.

Chu Li!

This is bad! Something happened to Suo Heng's books!

I read the online reviews

of Little Deity today.

They said they didn't receive any gifts from the online pre-sale edition.

Only those who bought the hard copy received the gifts.

Have you asked the customer service about this?

I did.

But they said they did everything according to our preference.

I don't know what's going on either.

I'll go to the printing factory.

You should contact Chief Editor Yu.

Alright, I understand.

I'll be there immediately.

Alright.

Something urgent popped up.

Please send him to the kindergarten today.

I have an important meeting to attend as well.

I mustn't be late.

I need to rush to the company immediately.

Just send him to the kindergarten this time, okay?

Yu Yao,

you always give the same excuses.

Qiu Qiu,

pat his back.

Qiu Qiu?

Qiu Qiu.

Qiu Qiu, are you okay?

How do you feel?

Do you feel better?

How many times have I told you this?

You should stop Mum from buying all those sweets for him.

My mother bought him some sweets because she cared for him.

How could you blame this on my mother?

I'm not blaming Mum.

It's just that sweets aren't good for him.

Why do you always talk to me

with this kind of attitude?

Qiu Qiu, look at me.

It's fine now.

You can go to the kindergarten, right?

Okay.

Alright.

Send him to the kindergarten then.

Ask the teachers to observe him in school.

I'll leave first.

You're leaving just like that?

Suo Heng's books are in huge trouble.

I have to rush over there immediately.

Qiu Qiu is fine now.

I'm really sorry about this.

Yu Yao,

I tried my best to transfer my job to this state

so that

our family can live together in peace.

But you?

Which is more important in your heart?

Is Yuan Yue Publishing House

more important than our family?

Qiu Qiu, let's go.

Hello, Chief Editor Yu.

Chu Li, what's going on?

Why aren't the buyers of the online pre-sale edition

receiving their gifts?

Now, the official website of Yuan Yue Publishing House

is filled with their complaints.

Chief Editor Yu,

I went to the printing factory just now.

The person in charge, Xiao Wang, made a blunder.

He mixed up the two orders.

Chief Editor Yu, I'm sorry.

Enough. Just return here for now.

Stop wasting your time over there.

We need to resolve this

within one hour.

Alright.

Mr Zhou Chuan?

Why are you here?

Look at you, you look so down.

How could I return home in peace?

I've heard everything from Xiang.

Let's return for now.

Tell the circulation department

to stop distributing the current goods.

After that, you can prepare for the compensation.

Before this happened, I told Xiang that

the readers mustn't know the existence of the editors.

Because if something happens to the book,

we'll be reprimanded.

And now, I'm in trouble.

I think I'm a jinx.

Yeah, you're a jinx.

Alright, it's fine now.

I'm here for you.

Mr Zhou Chuan,

this concerns my work.

Please don't interfere.

I'm sure Miao and the rest will...

Their opinion doesn't matter.

It's fine as long as I can help the readers

get their compensation.

I'll wait for you in the car then.

Chu Li,

what's the current situation in the printing factory?

The person in charge made a blunder.

He mixed up the orders for the two editions.

That's the reason behind this incident.

I suggest we print new copies and send it to the readers

in order to calm them down.

Yi Wen is on a sick leave.

You can report it to us.

According to preliminary statistics,

Most of the pre-sale goods have been sent to the readers.

We've recalled all of the books

that haven't been sent out.

Even so,

there are 8,000 copies

on their way to the readers.

You guys hear that?

Of course you can print another copy, but who'll fork out the money?

One copy is around 8 to 10 yuan.

For 8,000 copies, it costs around 60,000 yuan.

Who'll pay for it?

Of course the printing factory will pay for it.

We've told them time and time again.

We told them the gifts are meant for the online pre-sale edition.

They were the ones who made the blunder.

Of course they need to be responsible for it.

This is a breach of contract.

We've been working together with the printing factory for so many years.

Next,

we need to work together with them for the photo albums

and coloured comic for Role Playing Game.

If we fall out with them

at this crucial moment,

that means we need to find

another printing factory which can match our standards.

If we have to let go of the projects in our hand

because of this incident,

we will incur a big loss.

Wait.

Why do I think

you're trying to speak up for the printing factory?

You don't want to compensate them? What about their feelings?

For this kind of matter,

we need to make it sound less serious.

I think our current readers

aren't that hard to deal with,

am I right?

I think they're

giving us such a huge reaction

because they want us

to give them an explanation.

That means

you want someone to be the scapegoat then?

Who will be the scapegoat?

For this,

I think Chu Li will need to be the scapegoat.

Managing editor,

as the name implies, she's the one managing it.

If you visit the printing factory

as frequent as you could,

I'm sure they won't have time

to commit such stupid mistakes.

But Chu Li has been frequenting the printing factory as often as she could.

She would've stayed there if she could do so.

Now, all the readers

are scolding Ms Suo Heng on her Weibo account.

They said that they want to boycott them because she's a liar.

They said she didn't give them

the free gifts she promised to give.

The person who made the blunder is hiding behind the scene

while my editor needs to take the blame?

I don't agree with that.

I told you already. Chu Li is the managing editor for the book.

It's logical for her to admit her mistakes.

How could you say I'm making her our scapegoat?

I believe Director Yang

would do the same as well,

am I right, Mr Liang?

Fine.

I'll shoulder the responsibility.

Because I don't want my author to be disheartened.

I don't want her readers to be disappointed.

This isn't their fault.

But I hope

the circulation department can make the order by today.

Chu Li

will be suspended for now.

Suspended?

That punishment is too much.

Do you have a better idea?

I'm the chief editor here. Did I agree to that?

Did Mr Xia agree to that?

She's lucky that she's just suspended.

Now,

we can't afford to fall out with the printing factory.

Yuan Yue Publishing House

has to pay for all of our loss.

She's just suspended.

We would've sacked her if she was someone else.

If Chu Li was the reason behind our loss,

I will be the first

to kick her out.

The problem is she's not responsible for this mistake.

Why must she shoulder the blame?

It's an order from Director Yang.

Take a look yourself.

As for the period for her suspension,

we'll talk about it next time.

Are you guys done finding your scapegoat?

Mr Zhou Chuan, why are you here?

Deputy Editor Miao,

what's that under your feet?

There's nothing under my feet.

Oh, I understand now.

It's your repulsive character.

Since she's suspended,

I can take her away then.

Yuan Yue Publishing House

You're not allowed to cry.

You're just suspended!

Let's just treat it as a break then.

The key is I don't know when my suspension will end.

I think I'm going to be sacked soon.

So what if you're sacked?

It's fine, I can support you.

I don't want you to support me.

I want to do my work.

I just want to be a good editor.

Alright, you can be an editor all you like.

You're the best editor

in the world.

Why is this happening?

This is so unfair!

I'm leaving Yuan Yue Publishing House already.

Why should Yuan Yue Publishing House cover their own loss?

Is it because they want to maintain a good relationship

with the printing factory?

It's fine.

Let's think of a solution together.

Stop crying, okay?

Stop crying.

I'll be there after two hours.

Mr Liang.

Are you satisfied with the result?

What do you mean?

You've been here for more than 10 years.

I don't believe that

you're satisfied

for letting Yuan Yue Publishing House cover for our own loss.

All of us know this deep down.

For this matter,

at most, Chu Li can be blamed for her negligence.

If she's able to shoulder the blame,

no problem, just let her bear the blame.

The problem is, she may appear to be responsible for it,

but Yuan Yue Publishing House is the one who's taking all of the blame.

No matter if it's money or people's opinions,

in the end, Yuan Yue Publishing House

will be the one at a disadvantage.

Yes.

But the solution is already out.

It's useless for you to say that.

Have you ever thought of

whether Miao

is truly trying to help Yuan Yue Publishing House?

Or is he just trying to chase Chu Li away?

Are you sure that

you want to help the current Miao Jian Ping?

Chief Editor Yu.

Suo Heng? Why are you here?

I saw the official website's announcement.

Why was Chu Li suspended from her position?

You haven't been eating well lately.

You should eat up.

Later, we'll think of a solution together.

I deserved it.

This wouldn't have happened

if I went to the printing factory

instead of calling them.

I've let down Ms Suo Heng.

The printing factory is in the wrong here.

You did nothing wrong.

You're the best editor I've ever seen.

How could you know that

when you've barely even seen any editors?

You didn't speak in that tone

when you first became my editor.

Chu Li,

Flying Elephant

Ms Suo Heng posted a post for you.

Take a look.

Finish your meal first.

No, return it to me.

The author, Suo Heng

I have

always been a weak person

who doesn't know how to stand up for myself.

This is my first time doing this.

I feel that I need to speak up for her.

My editor, Chu Li,

she was the only one who didn't give up on me

when I was in despair.

She was the one who rushed to protect me

from anything.

She's a person who will sacrifice herself

in order to protect the writers.

Not only is she my editor,

she's an important friend of mine as well.

So,

please, everyone, stop attacking her.

Because you guys don't know

how big of a chivalrous fool she is.

It's fine.

Everything will be over eventually.
