=Episode 09=

Chen Guang, thank you.

You're carrying my stuff for me even though it's late now.

No problem. This is what I'm supposed to do.

Alright then, Ms. Liu.

I'll return to my room if there's nothing else.

You should rest earlier as well.

Xi Xi, you bought so many things.

Are they meant for Senior Yang?

Yeah.

What's wrong with you?

I feel like you're upset.

Don't mention it to me.

I think

Chen Guang has been neglecting me.

Previously, we agreed to get married after graduation.

But now, he comes up with all types of excuses when I mention it to him.

Honestly speaking,

it isn't a good thing for you to be married so early.

Look at me, I'm the best example.

The two of us don't understand each other at all.

But it's not early for us anymore.

We've been together for many years.

I'm not trying to force him.

Actually, it's pretty difficult

for men sometimes.

I can understand what Senior Yang is thinking about.

He just wants to consider marriage

after he does well

in every other aspect.

Unlike me,

I got married before I was able to make a name for myself.

In the end, we were separated before we even got married.

You should stop thinking about the past.

You're such a nice man.

I'm sure you'll find a nice lady

as your companion in the future.

I hope so.

Just forget about the past.

Look.

You still have your best friends

with you, am I right?

I'm pretty grateful to you guys,

but sometimes, I had to force myself to smile.

I was afraid that I might let you guys down.

I don't think I can pull myself together

that quickly for this incident.

Xiao Bao, can you give me that?

Sure, pick whatever you like.

You should pick one as well.

Can I have this?

Of course.

Xiao Bao, don't be upset.

Tomorrow will be a new day for us.

Thank you.

Thank you as well.

I will think about what you've said just now.

Maybe I misunderstood his intention.

Let's go.

Come, let me rent a car for you.

Get in the car.

Let's get in the car.

Isn't the car too small for the five of you?

Kong Hao, you can take Xiao Bao's car.

This car is too small for us.

Not at all. I feel pretty comfortable with it.

The car is too small for the five of us.

Zheng Qian, why don't you go and accompany Xiao Bao?

I'm suffering from motion sickness.

Zheng Qian, are you okay?

How about this?

I'll take the same car as Xiao Bao.

Kong Hao and Zheng Qian can stay in this car.

Okay.

Goodbye.

Sis Xin, let's go.

Put on your seat belt.

Xi Xi, are you waiting for someone to call you?

I sent a message to Chen Guang this morning.

He didn't reply me even until now.

Maybe he didn't see your message.

You should have a chat with him when you get back.

Just clarify any misunderstandings you have with him.

Chen Guang.

I'm leaving.

You're leaving already?

Drive slowly on your way back.

Send me a message when you reach home.

Brother Yun Fei?

Why are you here?

You're pretty good at driving now, huh?

Your driving skills have improved.

I'm just...

You're something, huh?

Let's go up.

Why didn't you call me beforehand? My goodness.

Why are you so tanned now?

Because of swimming.

Your skin looks so tanned now.

Dad, look who's back.

Uncle.

Yun Fei?

Wait, why did you guys come back at the same time?

I met her at the entrance.

Wrong.

He followed me all the way home from Wangsheng Road.

I thought he was a pervert.

I was actually planning to teach him a lesson.

Is that true?

Of course not.

Mr. Cheng, dinner is ready.

Alright.

Come, Yun Fei. Let's catch up while we enjoy dinner.

Come on.

Time for dinner.

I'll wash my hands.

Come.

Yun Fei, help yourself, okay?

These are the signature dishes of our housekeeper.

Help yourself.

Thank you, Uncle.

It's been over 10 years since we've seen each other.

Am I right?

Yeah.

So, what plans do you have for your return?

I took over a media company recently.

I plan to use the company as my base

and start my own business in the country.

What a coincidence.

Under our group,

we have a media company.

But,

it's a shame.

There's a huge problem with the company's management.

It's only able to survive thanks to the support of the HQ.

So, Yun Fei,

you should visit it when you have time.

Give me some suggestions while you're there.

Uncle, I dare not give you any suggestions.

Next time, I'll visit your company and learn something from you.

Come, help yourself.

Remember your table manners.

Yun Fei,

you've been abroad for many years.

Have you found yourself a girlfriend?

It's very important, you know?

I'm ashamed of myself.

I didn't have time for relationships as I was busy with work.

Actually, I just didn't meet someone suitable.

Why aren't you chatting with Yun Fei?

You're so impolite.

Chat about what?

We chatted online two days ago.

You think I'm you?

You didn't try to contact him at all

after he left the country.

He and I are online friends, you know?

Yeah, we often chatted with each other on...

Enough, I know I'm outdated.

Yun Fei,

I still remember that

you loved to play with Xin Xin

(Look at Zheng Qian) since young.

Back then, you guys

were bratty children.

I...

Back then, you told me something.

You asked me if you could

marry Xin Xin when you grow up.

Uncle, you still remember that? This is so embarrassing.

Of course I do.

Oh yeah, this reminds me of another incident.

One time, Xin Xin fell down.

After that, you carried her and rushed to the hospital.

You were so exhausted that

you couldn't stand up when you reach the hospital.

Do you still remember that?

I guess Xin Xin was well-fed when she was young.

Come.

Yun Fei, eat up.

Uncle, are you still into calligraphy?

Of course.

Oh yeah, I got myself a new painting lately.

Let's check it out together in the study room later.

Sure.

Uncle,

I bought you some cigars

when I was in Havana.

I'll bring them to you later.

Thank you.

Come, let's drink.

I'm full now.

I won't join you guys for the paintings and cigars

since I don't know anything about them.

Enjoy your meal.

Look at her.

Come, Yun Fei.

Let's ignore her and drink.

Xin Xin, what did you do tonight?

My childhood friend just came back from the US.

We had dinner together at my house.

He and my father are viewing some paintings right now.

Go forward.

Is it a guy or a girl?

It's a guy. What's wrong?

What?

He's just like a brother to me. We knew each other since young.

Don't overthink it.

Don't try to mislead Zheng Qian, okay?

Hao, I'm not as petty as you.

By the way, I saw from Jia Jia's social media that

she'll be attending the finals of the talent show tomorrow.

I know that.

Kong Hao, you must be there for her.

It's a big day.

I'm sure Jia Jia hopes that you can be there for her.

But I can't leave the house.

My mother is keeping an eye on me due to the civil service exam.

I feel like crying so badly.

It's a big day for her, you know?

Yet you can't be there for her.

Jia Jia will surely be angry at you for this.

This won't do.

I know you need to study,

but you need to rest as well.

I have no choice.

Now, I only have enough free time

to play one round of video games.

How about this?

By then, I'll come up with

an escape plan for you.

Hold it right there.

Where are you going?

Zheng Qian asked me to play football with him.

The civil service exam is approaching, you know?

You still have the mood to play football?

I need to rest as well, right?

Adequate exercise will improve my memory.

Zheng Qian wants you to play football with him?

You can look outside the window if you don't believe me.

Zheng Qian!

Hello, Aunty.

Hao can't join you today.

He hasn't finished his revision yet.

But, all of us are there already.

We just lack Kong Hao.

He won't be able to join you guys.

Please tell your friends about it.

All of them are there already?

It'll be embarrassing for me if I don't join them.

Go and study.

Hello, Zheng Qian?

Hello, Hao.

I think you should stay at home and do your revision.

The civil service exam concerns

your happiness with Jia Jia.

What are you saying?

Do you think a person like me is able to pass the exam?

That was my last resort, you know?

I can't help you out.

How about this? I'll help you out until the end.

I'll tell Jia Jia that you're doing mock exam questions at home.

Okay?

That's it then.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Wait, I...

Hello?

What kind of brother is that?

Kong Hao, come out and change the bulb for me.

Coming!

(Jia Jia)

What should I do?

Should I lie to her?

No.

I should be honest with her.

That won't work either.

What should I do?

(Tomorrow's Star)

Those who were shortlisted,

please follow me.

Hello, everyone.

My dear fans,

currently,

I'm at the stage of Tomorrow's Star.

I'll bring you guys around to see

if there are any beautiful ladies today.

Let's go and say hi to her.

Pretty lady,

come say hi to my fans.

Hello, everyone.

Please go away. I'm busy.

We're at the stage right now.

I guess that pretty lady just now was angry because

she wasn't shortlisted.

Please try to understand her feelings.

It's fine.

Is there something wrong with you?

I told you not to film me. Why are you still filming me?

What kind of attitude was that?

It's no wonder you were eliminated.

What did you say?

Say that again?

Everyone, look.

Your favourite Alice is here.

Alice!

Influencers nowadays are really brazen, huh?

They think they're big shots everywhere they go.

Jia Jia?

It's me!

Do you know me?

Don't you recognise me?

I'm Niu Ai Lian.

When we were in high school,

you guys always called me as Niu Bing Bing.

Do you remember me now?

My goodness, Niu Bing Bing?

It's actually you?

You look different from what I remembered.

You have a chubby face when you were young.

Your head was...

I had plastic surgery.

Were you eliminated?

You should've told me earlier.

I could've made you the champion.

You could have made me the champion?

You may not know,

but I'm one of the judges here.

And, this show is a scam.

You should stop participating in these kinds of shows.

Really?

What have you been busy with lately?

Seems like you're quite popular.

How about this? I'll bring you to my studio.

Studio?

Yeah.

This is my studio.

Take a look.

This is the makeup room.

They change their outfits here as well.

It's huge.

There are plenty of rooms

with different themes in the front.

She's livestreaming right now.

Thank you, mister.

Thank you, dear.

She's livestreaming right now?

Yeah.

Let's go to the front.

She looks so young.

It's different for every room.

She's singing.

Meow.

You know that as well?

Yeah.

Hello.

I want to see.

She looks so beautiful.

Hello.

Hello.

What do you think about my studio?

You have different themes for every room?

Ai Lian, you're the owner of this studio

at such a young age?

Just take it slowly.

Jia Jia, now you know why

I'm popular, right?

Have you considered joining our studio?

Me?

But I don't know anything.

Do you know how to act cute?

I know how to do that.

Let's learn to meow together,

meow meow meow.

Am I doing it right?

Yeah, you did great.

You know how to act cute

and you're beautiful as well.

If you act cute during your livestream,

I'm sure plenty of fans

will send you gifts.

It's that simple.

It isn't as hard as you think.

Ai Lian, how much can I earn if I become a live streamer?

It's hard to say.

It ranges from a few thousands to hundreds of thousands.

It depends on the views.

Influencers with great amount of views

do more than livestreams.

They'll become ambassadors of famous brands as well.

They'll earn commission from selling their products.

If they're very famous,

they'll be just like celebrities.

They'll attend all sorts of activities and become ambassadors of many brands.

That way, they'll be able to earn even more.

Is being an influencer that great?

Our current field

is thriving and in the midst of developing.

If you join us, you'll have a bright future.

You should consider it.

Get up.

Hurry, get up.

Get up.

Your exam is today. You're not allowed to mess it up.

I made something good for you.

The exam is today?

Look at you yawning all day.

Come,

I brewed some

thick coffee for you.

I'm sure you'll feel refreshed after you drink it.

Mum, it's so bitter.

Add some sugar for me.

No.

You'll feel sleepy when you taste the sugar.

Hurry, finish it.

Hurry up, finish it.

Bottoms up.

Yes, good boy.

Come, have another cup.

Mum, that's enough. I feel refreshed now.

My son, this exam is very crucial.

By a good boy and finish it.

No thanks, Mum.

Just drink it, be a good boy.

That's more like it.

I'm sure you'll do better now.

I promise you that.

(Huaye Media)

This is our meeting room.

Over here.

This is where we do most of our work.

A lot of our departments are located here.

Come, Mr. Chu.

This is our advertisement designing department.

Mainly, we design brands, logos,

and pre-movie advertisements.

Say hello to Mr. Chu.

- Hello, Mr. Chu. - Hello, Mr. Chu.

Hello, Mr. Chu.

Hello.

Mr. Chu, please.

Please follow me.

This is our publicity department.

We mainly deal with the promotions of our products here,

including advertisements you see in subways

and billboards as well.

Stand up and greet Mr. Chu.

Hello, Mr. Chu.

Not bad, right?

Mr. Chu, please.

This is our pantry.

There are snacks and coffee

provided here.

We did so in order to appeal to our president's motto.

Caring for the employees, emphasising humanity.

It's the culture of our enterprise.

Say hello to Mr. Chu.

Hello, Mr. Chu.

Hello.

Mr. Chu, over here.

Let me introduce the department to you.

This is our sales and planning department.

Here, we mainly deal with

the marketing strategies and sales of both online and offline products.

Stand up.

Bow to Mr. Chu.

Hello, Mr. Chu.

Mr. Chu,

please have a seat in my office.

Mr. Chu, please have a seat.

You're too courteous.

Mr. Chu, Mr. Cheng said

you're here to guide our company.

Based on what you've seen,

do you think

there's anything we need to change?

Don't say that.

I'm here mainly to visit and learn from your company.

Manager, your coffee is ready.

Leave it over there.

What are you doing? You're so clumsy.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry.

Be careful, it's hot.

Mr. Chu, just let her clean it up.

How could we trouble you?

It's fine.

(Proposal for better organisational framework)

Is this the proposal for the company's further improvement?

Yes.

Can I have a look?

Of course you can.

Who wrote this?

An employee named Zheng Qian.

Can you call him here?

He resigned from the company.

He resigned?

How could you let a talented individual like him leave the company?

He insisted on resigning from the company.

I've tried my best to make him stay, but it didn't work.

Do you have a way to contact him then?

He has resigned from his job.

Please wait a moment, let me search for it.

Hello, Xiao Lin?

Hello, Xiao Lin?

Hurry and send me

the contact details of Zheng Qian who had resigned the other day.

Send it to my phone.

I'm sorry. I need to take a call.

This is bad.

I'll let nature take its course.

Xin Xin.

Brother Yun Fei, where are you?

I'm at Huaye Media.

Why are you there?

Didn't your father tell me to visit this company

when we were having dinner together?

Didn't you say you were going to visit my workshop today?

When will you come?

I've been waiting for a long time, you know?

I think I'm almost done today.

I did learn a lot.

I'll be there in a second.

Wait for me.

You better hurry.

Mr. Chu, I'm sorry for that.

Not at all.

Mr. Chu.

How is it?

These are the contact details of Zheng Qian.

(Zheng Qian)

Thank you.

You're too courteous.

I need to leave as I have something to do later.

I'm done for today.

Please continue with your work.

By the way, can you make me a copy of

this document?

You can take the document with you.

May I?

Of course.

Thank you so much.

Let me see you off.

(Accurate, efficient, elite)

Thank you for visiting us today.

Please.

(Exam schedule, 09:00-11:00)

(Civil service exam, Hall 2)

(Say no to cheating)

Excuse me!

What's wrong?

Miss, I have a stomachache.

I need to use the washroom.

Hurry then. Be quick about it.

Thank you, miss.

Miss, I need to use the washroom again.

What's wrong?

I need to use the washroom again.

Go then. Be quick.

Thank you, miss.

(Students, please take note.)

(The 2018 civil service exam for Huahai City)

(has ended.)

(Please stop writing.)

(Examiners, please collect the papers.)

Time's up. Hurry up.

Alright, I'll be done in a second.

How is it?

Not bad at all.

It isn't as bad as Uncle's description.

He doesn't know anything. He's an antique.

He'll never like what I do anyway.

What else did you do

to upset Uncle?

You see, he's been upset with me ever since

I attended university.

He doesn't like it when I work

in a workshop.

He doesn't like my current boyfriend as well.

I really don't know how to please him.

You have a boyfriend?

What?

Nothing. It seems that you've grown up.

I'll bring him to you someday.

Where do we sit?

Over there, it's empty.

You mean here?

What drinks do you want?

Take a guess.

Bubble milk tea without pearls.

You still remember it?

It's just normal milk tea, right?

I remembered that you only played World of Warcraft.

You go to the karaoke bar when you're free, right?

Brother Yun Fei, all of us are playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds now.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, you know?

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds?

Yeah.

It's been a long time since I've stopped drinking bubble milk tea.

I like Matcha Sprite now.

Matcha Sprite?

It's a type of frappuccino.

Waiter.

What are you doing?

Calling for an order.

I think you've been abroad for too long.

You're so outdated.

Do you know what is this?

It's a QR code.

Yeah.

Look.

Now, we just need to scan the QR codes

and we can make our orders online.

Look, click here.

Scan this.

Aim at the QR code.

Look.

Here's the menu.

You'll see the entire menu and you can order whatever you like.

Confirm your order.

Look, it's done.

What drinks do you want?

I want a Matcha Sprite. I'm curious about the taste.

Look, press the plus sign.

After you're done,

you just need to key in your password in order to pay for the bill.

Isn't it convenient?

I didn't expect us to have problems communicating

after being abroad for so long.

I need to catch up with you.

That isn't the case at all.

It's because you've been abroad for too long.

Even my father knows how to use it, you know?

Our country is different now.

It seems like you can't catch up with our trend.

This is super simple, you know?

Even the construction workers

and the old lady on the street

know how to use this.

How is it?

Do you want me to provide you with free training?

No thanks. I'll learn them by myself.

I don't want you to laugh at me.

Here.

Thank you.

Try it.

Is it nice?

By the way,

your father told me that

he wants you to work for my company.

What do you think?

I'm not going.

But why?

Why should I go?

I'll only create more trouble for you.

I was planning to

spend more time with you

if you come to my company.

You rejected me just like that?

You don't respect me at all.

It's not that.

But you know that I'll surely

create trouble for you if I go there.

How dare you take pictures of me?

Hold this.

Like this.

Make a love gesture.

That's it.

Take a look.

You've improved.

You only knew how to do one pose in the past.

This is a major improvement.

Another one.

(Zheng Qian)

Hello.

Hello, is this Zheng Qian?

Yes, I am. You are?

My name is Chu Yun Fei.

I visited Huaye Media two days ago,

and I saw the proposal you wrote by accident.

That's why I asked them for your contact details.

I hope my call

wasn't too abrupt.

Not at all.

I was pretty surprised though.

I think you have great ideas

regarding the company's management.

Why don't we meet up

and have a chat?

Sure.

You're okay with that?

This is kind of awkward.

I thought you would ask me

about the company's situation.

Since you could get my contact details

from Huaye Media,

that means

you must be very familiar with the company itself.

With that in mind,

I think you won't be a scammer

or someone from a fake company.

Alright, my office is located within the general building.

My company's name is Tenda Media.

Where did you go?

I had things to do.

My mother insisted on giving me a video call.

I did say that I will be here for you,

but I had no choice.

How did your exam go?

What do you think?

Listen,

my mother made me a cup of

extremely bitter coffee in the morning.

That's why I had a stomachache during the exam.

I had to go to the washroom every five minutes.

I guess I'm done for.

Not necessarily, right?

Miracles do happen sometimes.

What are you laughing at?

You deserved it.

(Exam pass)

Enough, let's go.

Please enter.

Mr. Chu, Mr. Zheng is here.

Mr. Zheng, please.

Hello, I'm Zheng Qian.

I'm Chu Yun Fei.

I've been waiting for you. Please have a seat.

Zheng Qian,

I just returned from abroad not long ago.

The way I speak is very frank.

So, I'll get straight to the point.

I've seen the report you've written.

I do admire your capability.

I hope you can come to our company

and work together with us.

That's why I invited you here today.

Firstly, Mr. Chu, thank you for your appreciation.

I'm really surprised.

But, I'm sorry.

I went to Huaye Media

just because I wanted to see

how it feels like to work for an enterprise.

In the future, I think I'll become an entrepreneur.

Of course,

being an entrepreneur is a must

if you want to be a successful businessman.

But, have you ever thought about this?

You might be very open-minded and knowledgeable,

but when it comes to experience and resources,

are you sure you have everything ready at your disposal?

Mr. Chu, can you please tell me how did you come up

with the assumption that I'm inexperienced?

Is it because of my age?

I'm a frank person.

It's not only because of your age.

I've read the report you wrote

in detail.

You have bold ideas

and you're very creative as well.

But, at first glance, I knew

you were a newbie with no experience.

Because, many of your terms

aren't that easy to realise.

And, we need to adapt them according to local conditions as well.

Do you agree with that?

I do agree with that.

Because I do lack experience in managing enterprises.

Zheng Qian, even Newton admitted that

he was great because

he was standing on the shoulders of giants.

I think Tenda Media can act as your giant.

It can help you gain experience

and save a lot of your precious time.

As the saying goes,

a workman must first sharpen his tools if he is to do his work well.

Do you agree?

If so, Mr. Chu,

can you tell me the advantages

if I do join Tenda Media?

There are two advantages to it.

First,

Tenda Media is the partner of

renowned local brands.

Our scopes include

advertisements, media management,

one to one advertisements, brand and logo designs

and so on.

We cover everything.

If you do join Tenda Media,

you will encounter the leading experts

in their field.

You can choose whatever

you want to learn from them.

That's your own right.

Second,

if you're in this industry,

you'll know that

Tenda Media is one of the biggest company out there.

When can I start working?

Anytime.

Understood.

I'm very curious.

Why did you suddenly change your mind?

Who changed your mind? Was it Newton?

It's Newton,

and your honesty.

Thank you, Mr. Chu.

Don't you want to inquire about

your salary and so on?

Is there a need for that?
