[Episode 15]

Mr. Yan!

Excuse me.

You again.

I'm not here for business today.

Xubao Golf Club is holding a league for our entrepreneurs.

I'm here to invite you.

I play golf to keep a level head.

I'm not interested in any game or league.

Mr. Yan, you're a great golf player.

It would be a shame.

Flattering doesn't work on me.

I'm not like Xu Chengyi.

No, I really mean it.

I've seen you playing.

Whatever the speed and direction of the wind,

you always hit a straight line.

Only a real expert is capable of it.

Sounds like you're an expert yourself.

No, I'm not.

I've just watched a lot.

Golf seems like a simple game,

but it requires a perfect coordination of the mind and body.

You don't have to play against other people,

but against the surroundings.

I suppose this is why you like playing golf?

So this league...

it's sponsored by SG Technology?

You may go now.

I've already made up my mind.

Monopoly is hardly the trend in the domestic IT market.

I believe by joining hands, NK and SG will surely...

Cut it out.

I don't need lessons from you.

A word of advice.

Empty talk is never the way out.

I'm not giving you empty talk.

I've drafted the cooperation proposal and a PPT.

I can show you here and now...

Just save it.

My answer is no.

Mr. Yan...

By the way, tell Xu Chengyi to talk to me

by himself if he wants a cooperation.

Suddenly,

he looked at me, and said

go back and tell him it's no use playing tricks with me.

Talk to me by himself if he wants a cooperation.

And then,

he just left without looking back.

That was it?

So arrogant.

I used to think Xu Chengyi was ruthless.

But ever since I knew Yan Changjun,

I've realized he is the ruthless and arrogant one.

Definitely not a gentleman.

Come on, Xu Chengyi is hardly ruthless.

Since you told us about the bracelet,

he is a romantic guy in my eyes.

Xia Yan, don't bargain for an already cheap deal.

Well, I don't know.

Maybe he's a fetishist.

Yeah, I agree.

I think he just likes collecting old stuffs.

That's all.

Han Shuang, don't mislead her.

Or perhaps the bracelet struck a chord with him.

Three years ago, he was also waiting for someone,

who never showed up.

What I said may have suddenly dawned on him.

Dawned on him what?

That life is full of ups and downs.

Separation and reunion, waiting for and finding someone,

happiness and sorrow, holding on and letting go,

these are all the ups and downs of our life.

Nothing will stay the same forever.

People change.

Commitments change.

Only when we truly embrace the change,

can we have new perspectives.

That's so poetic and abstract.

It's just a bracelet.

You're making a sutra out of it.

I didn't know you know Xu Chengyi so well

that you can read his mind?

Han Shuang, don't tease about this.

Xia Yan is still recovering.

There's no way she and Xu Chengyi...

He is good-looking and President of a company.

It's only natural to be attracted to him.

What's more,

our friend here has been talking about him a lot recently.

Right?

Am I right?

Okay, enough for joking.

Now help me figure out how to persuade Yan Changjun.

Sorry, not interested.

Does he have kids?

I can tutor them.

You're a college teacher.

What can you do with his kids?

It's not like you know how old his kids are.

Well, he and Xu Chengyi were classmates...

Which means he may not have kids.

Can't you just drop this deal?

There are many social media companies out there.

I'm thinking... why would he let a rookie like you

handle such an important case like this?

In a limited time.

What if you mess it up?

The Hua Xin app of New Key Technology,

its brand positioning and user base

make it the best partner for Confidante Planet.

They own Hua Xin?

That's something.

I look for tips on cosmetics and travels on that app.

But you've seen his attitude.

I think he's made it clear that he won't cooperate with you.

Could he has a problem with women?

Maybe you should ask a guy to do this?

There's gotta be some way.

I'll keep thinking.

He and Xu Chengyi have rough patches.

Maybe that's why he's being hard on you.

I think this can lead you somewhere.

Maybe you should let Xu Chengyi talk to him.

Let them figure out whatever is between them.

And cut yourself some slack.

Well... I think she is willing to take it on for somebody.

Confidante Planet takes its shape step by step in my hands.

I owe it to introduce it to the market successfully.

Xia Yan...

this is your fifth cup of coffee today.

Do you want to sleep or not tonight?

Are you trying to kill yourself?

I'm worried sick now.

Still stumbling on the NK case.

Just keep trying then.

But I'm at my wit's end.

Well... take a break.

Watch some video on your phone.

Relax a bit.

I'll pass.

Just give it a try.

Come on.

Good girl.

Where are you going?

Fish catching.

Fish?

There's no way Xia Yan can get NK on board.

Let me take over.

No, this project will be launched in no time.

Nothing can go wrong.

That's why I put you in charge of the whole thing.

Plus, you taking over might do nothing to help.

Yan Changjun thinks of me as his enemy.

If anyone is to take over, it's me.

Then why did you send Xia Yan?

She can use this chance to learn.

I must remind you.

You've promised to the board

that we'll secure a user base of at least ten millions.

Which is impossible without the cooperation of NK/

This is definitely not the time to train a newbie.

But Yan Changjun doesn't know about it.

If I let you take over now,

he will know that I have no other choice.

Which will further put us at a disadvantage.

However, if I stick with Xia Yan,

it may let his guard down.

Do you really want to put all stakes on Xia Yan?

Amy!

The document.

Redo it!

It's such a simple task.

Remind me what I'm paying you for.

Are you a blockhead or something?

Why are you still here?

Go back and do it!

I want it before I get off work today.

Excuse me, do you have an appointment?

Appointment?

Yes, this lecture is for appointment only.

You can't go in without one.

I only learned about this lecture today.

Could you...

Sorry.

This lecture is so popular that it was booked full a week ago.

Many failed to get an appointment like you.

If I let you in by the back door,

it won't be fair to them.

The back door...

Distinguished leaders, dear fellow students,

it's our honor to have with us

the expert programmer, well-known Internet entrepreneur,

legendary graduate of this university,

Mr. Yan Changjun.

We all know the story of him founding New Key Technology.

But there's something more to him.

Let's find out by watching a video.

This video again?

It's been played so many times.

Make a new one next time.

Yes, sir.

Still seven minutes?

Yes, sir.

I'll be right back.

Sorry, President Yan.

I didn't know what else to do to get you to hear me.

I know you have six minutes.

I just need three to introduce our company's project.

Can you let me take care of this first?

You're still here.

I see.

So you're Xu Chengyi's new favorite now?

Mr. Yan, SG's Confidant Planet and NK's Hua Xin

really complete each other functionally.

Mutual cooperation and promotion will be a win-win.

It's a great opportunity for both companies.

Do you know the other partner of Xu Chengyi?

Her name is Ling Wei.

No, I don't.

But you must know that some foreign companies are working on

apps with the same functions of our products.

And this is just a beginning.

Then they will acquire all market share and a monopoly

with their money and technology.

So SG and NK must join hands

to firmly hold the domestic market share.

The Internet competition is by nature international.

It's always survival of the fittest.

Since you're so patriotic, I wonder

if you know Xu Chengyi once sold a software to a foreign firm?

The International Programming Competition held by ODC

is a global-oriented contest open to everybody.

It is more open and challenging than ACM.

There were two champions in the first year.

More surprisingly, both were computer science students

at Xinzhou Technological University.

They were a campus legend, known as code buddies.

Impressive.

Their talents are unmatched...

Caught in the rush hour.

Have you had dinner?

Care to join me?

How do you know I'm here?

Yan Changjun called you?

He said you cornered him in the men's room.

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

It wasn't your idea to sell the software, was it?

He told you this?

And you didn't take the money, right?

Why do you think so?

Don't wanna answer my question?

It has been a long time.

There's no point in talking about who sold it.

Anyway, I don't believe it was you.

Yan Changjun seems rather decisive.

But in fact, his judgment can be easily clouded by bias.

So you do have come a long way.

Your taste and judgment have improved a lot.

So it was Ling Wei who sold the software back then?

He told you about her too?

You and Ling Wei... you two...

I know you've been wondering about the history between us.

Yan Changjun and I weren't on bad terms.

It's just we have similar tastes,

attracted to the same type of girls.

So we competed against each other a lot.

Also, we had some disagreement on technical issues.

I've looked him up.

He came the second in the contest.

Yes, he's very smart.

An absolute pragmatist.

We co-developed the software at university.

But it didn't end well due to various factors.

He's still angry at me for it.

You two also fell for the same girl.

Ling Wei, right?

Anyway, you're off the NK case starting now.

I'll take over.

President Lin.

You've been out?

Have you had lunch yet?

No.

Here, have some water.

Thanks, I'm good.

Sir, they said that... the company is going to shut down.

Who said it?

What else did they say?

That the business isn't going well,

and we haven't received any order for long.

And... the accountant took off because you couldn't pay him.

I didn't believe any of this at first.

But when Brother Wu and I went to meet with customers,

they turned us down at hearing the name of our company.

I mean, even Brother Wu couldn't handle it...

You wanna leave, too?

No, I don't.

But I am a little worried.

I'll be honest with you.

We're going through a tough period these days.

We've lost many prospect customers with Mr. Hao leaving,

which caused some cash flow problems.

I've been working to fix this.

Well... how did it go?

Almost fixed.

I've secured a deal.

We'll sign the contract by this week.

We're a start-up with a lot of energy.

Also, they trust me.

So they'll give us a chance.

You'll see an investment of one million yuan soon.

Really?

It'll be followed by investment from two other big companies.

No kidding?

Of course not.

Why would I run a company without any investment?

I'm not so rich that I can afford to pay you guys myself.

I knew it.

Those people know nothing...

So, don't worry about the money.

I'll take care of it.

Just focus on the business.

Those who have no faith in me or the company,

just let them go if they want to.

They'll regret it when we get back on track.

That's for sure.

I've been with Brother Wu to meet with customers.

I've learned the ropes.

Also, I'm well aware that

it was you who has given me this job.

I assure you I'd never leave

unless you fire me.

Okay.

Make your sister proud.

Let's go.

What am I thinking?

You haven't had lunch yet.

I'll go get you some.

It's been a long time since we had coffee together.

Seven years.

You still have a good memory.

It's not like it has been seventy years.

Of course I still remember.

But sometimes, to forget is actually not a bad thing.

Unfortunately, I can never forget who is my friend,

and who is not.

Well, as the saying goes,

no one is your friend forever in the business world,

or enemy forever.

I think...

I see.

You're no longer the boy who knew nothing but programming.

That's good.

I learned it from you.

Technology serves mankind.

If we don't understand humanity,

no technology can help develop good product.

I'm surprised that you remember it.

Impressive.

I remember everything you taught me.

So no matter how you think of me,

you're always the good friend and teacher to me.

I'm so flattered.

You're a senior executive of a listed company,

while I'm running a small company,

over there.

A really small one.

I never dare to make an enemy of you.

Over the years, SG and NK never have any conflict.

The market of the Internet is developing at a fast pace.

It's not a small pond anymore.

We're like two fishes.

Isn't it good that we swim our separate waters?

I've heard that NK is preparing to go public.

Just word on the street.

That's what I thought.

At this critical time,

NK won't want to make an enemy of SG.

What's that supposed to mean?

You think I'm afraid of you?

Of course not.

It's just over so many years,

NK has never cooperated with SG.

Many are saying...

Again, word on the street.

Let it be.

They say you don't cooperate with me

because you're afraid of competing against me...

and lose.

Do they?

Oh I'm so afraid.

Nonsense.

The way I see it,

you're the one who's afraid.

Or you would have sent someone like Xue Ning

to meet with me and talk about cooperation.

Instead, you sent a rookie

who entered SG only months ago.

This doesn't make any sense.

I didn't know you're so familiar with

the staffing of our company.

You only sent her in the hope I would reject her.

So you can tell the board I'm the one

who's unwilling to cooperate.

Am I right?

I didn't know you care so much about hierarchy.

I thought you value competence and courage.

So you're saying

that girl Xia Yan is very competent and courageous?

Yes, she is.

I personally hired Xia Yan into SG.

I have no doubt in her ability.

Well, so... you hand-picked an employee

for the Operation Department.

There must be something about her that impressed you.

But think about this.

You really believe I still have the same taste as you?

So she impressed you,

but it doesn't mean she'll impress me too.

I mean her ability at work.

That's all.

Come on, loosen up.

Fine, work ability it is.

Then let's talk about work only.

I understand your time is money.

From now on, Xia Yan will handle everything

concerning our cooperation, Okay?

From now on, I'll take care of the details of our cooperation.

You afraid I'll pick on her?

Or did something go wrong?

Believe whatever you like.

This will be our only meeting.

Something's off.

Why am I getting a little bit uneasiness from you?

Is it because of something I just said?

Hardly.

Confidant Planet is a great opportunity for NK, too.

Besides, you're going to take NK to public.

Cooperation with a company like SG will be good publicity.

It's also conducive to the development of NK.

I'd really hate to see personal issues

get in the way of the prospect of our companies.

Changing the subject.

I never said I wouldn't cooperate with SG.

I just want to talk with Xia Yan instead of you.

Not gonna happen.

You said yourself just now.

She's a rookie.

Well, a man has to look at the big picture.

I understand your concern.

Don't worry.

I won't tell Xia Yan about you and Ling Wei.

However, you can't hide it from her forever.

She might find out about it one day.

I won't be able to help you then.

And why does this matter?

I don't think my past has anything to do with my employee now.

You know what, Xu Chengyi?

You've changed a lot over the past seven years,

except for one thing.

You're not straightforward.

The only reason I'm not against you is that we are alumni.

But I'll never cooperate with someone like you,

because you never tell people what's really on your mind.

Instead, you want us to guess.

To cooperate with you is just... exhausting.

I've made my point pretty clearly.

About what the cooperation means to NK,

you should know it better than anyone.

I haven't finished yet.

Wait.

See you.

Lei.

Lin Hao?

Is there anything?

I'd like to apologize for that night.

Sorry you had to see me like that.

It's Okay.

It's just... maybe you shouldn't keep drinking like that.

You're right.

I have to hang in there for the company.

But... I really can't forget about her.

Maybe you should.

The Lin Hao I know excels in everything at school.

Nothing can beat him, ever.

That was a long time ago.

Just drop it.

I went to Beijing full of confidence.

I had no doubt that I would achieve success with my ability.

Then someone else took credit for my work.

My talent was unappreciated for lack of connection.

I kept telling myself it's Okay,

that I can take it for Xia Yan.

However...

Let bygones be bygones.

It's good that things are looking up, right?

I mean, now you don't have to worry about work.

Yes, but I lost what I've been working so hard for.

Lei, would you please help me?

I can't live without her.

I never wanted to break up with her.

I want to grow old together with her.

But...

Even those terminally ill deserve a chance of treatment,

don't they?

I made a mistake.

I wish I could change it.

I'll show her with the rest of my life

that I've always loved and will always love her.

Also, we've gone through a lot.

I believe the whole break up thing is tough on her, too.

I... and the seven years of love deserve a chance.

Help me, please.

Fine, I'll try.

Thank you.

You're free to go now?

Good, let's go back home.

I'll make dinner.

Okay.

I met with Yan Changjun earlier today.

Brings a lot of old-time memories.

You're willing to talk now?

He made a bet with me.

Ling Wei was the stake.

He said to me that between us,

whoever won the competition could date Ling Wei.

That was very disrespectful to her.

I never agreed to this bet.

But he posted a statement on an Internet forum,

and signed me up for the contest.

And... he lost?

Ling Wei signed up later,

and shared the championship with me.

She said since she was also the winner,

she should make the choice by herself.

And she chose you.

So it turned out both you and Yan Changjun were stakes,

and Ling Wei was the winner.

Ling Wei is a girl you don't have anything to worry for.

She can earn herself respect.

Sounds impressive.

Ling Wei and I are two kindred spirits.

She's competitive, clear-thinking,

and rigorously analytical.

I had never known a girl

who wrote such beautiful codes as she did.

There are face-judgers, leg-judgers,

hand-judgers, and foot-judgers.

I didn't know there are also code-judgers in the IT world.

Well, I'm just trying to tell you

that she's really special.

So... I'll go wait downstairs.

I'll text you when I see Xia Yan.

Lei.

You can sit down and have a bite.

She won't be home soon.

I'm good.

Thank you.

Good luck.

What happened later?

Where did she go?

Then... she went abroad.

Do you remember that I told you

I was also waiting for someone at the airport three years ago?

That someone was her.

You were not the only one who was disappointed that day.

I was really sad, too.

The flight you were waiting didn't come,

neither did the girl I was waiting for.

You had waited six months,

while I had waited three years.

But I don't think there was any difference,

because we were equally sad.

I felt more than disappointment that day.

I was desperate and angry,

and could barely breathe.

Your candy saved me.

It did?

Maybe you'll have to taste sourness

before being able to appreciate sweetness.

Well, I had no idea my candy can be so magical.

Actually, I envy you a lot.

Really?

Many grown-ups are afraid of

letting out their negative feelings,

because they think it's embarrassing.

You're quite different.

That day at the airport, seeing you crying,

I suddenly got so envious of you.

So you were envious because I totally lost control,

and were full of tears and mucus?

And you were smiling the next second.

How did you do that?

I've got to say

I was really touched by the warmth of your smile.

Well, I am like sunshine.

In that case,

I'll keep your bracelet and candy as a memorial,

as well as encouraging myself.

I can't get rid of the past as soon as you do,

but I believe I can let go of it one day.

Why are you telling me this today?

Well, in your words,

I'm trying to recall the past times.

In fact, I was very passive in my relationship with her.

I've thought about it.

If I had taken the initiative and gone to America for her,

things might have been different.

However, what's done is done.

Just like a program that can produce no results,

it must have some inherent flaws.

You can't meet the right person at the wrong time.

Are you ready to... let go of it now?

Okay, so much for today.

I'm good, you?

Come on, I'll give you a ride home.

Lei?

What's with all the candles?

What's the occasion?

♫ I shed my tears at the desert. ♫

♫ I ask the sun to take care of my flower. ♫

♫ Let us be brave. ♫

♫ and sink into the silence ♫

♫ Waiting at the corner where you go in times of crying. ♫

Remember this song?

Of course.

The first time you asked me for a dance,

they were playing it.

Asking you for a dance is the best decision I've ever made.

During the seven years after,

I've been the luckiest guy in the world.

You have been the best girlfriend I could ever ask for.

The break-up is a big mistake.

Our story began with this song.

Let's end it with this song, too.

Xia Yan... we've been through a lot.

I don't want to give up so easily.

Neither do you, right?

We've been there for each other

in the most innocent and sweet years.

Nothing can replace that.

Don't be so cruel.

Give us another chance, please.

Those years were innocent and sweet,

but they were also full of hiding and cheating.

I made a mistake.

I misunderstood you.

I cared you so much

that I was so pissed off by Xu Chengyi.

And then...

So nothing happened... between you and Hao Jie in Beijing?

Absolutely not.

It's true that she had feelings for me,

but all I thought about was you.

And here I am, back to Xinzhou, to you.

You're still lying.

It's Xu Chengyi who's lying to you.

He's trying to break us up

so that you can be with him.

Why do you trust him over me?

Because your words and behaviors don't match.

So you suspected I was cheating on you with him,

but without finding out about the truth,

you left with another girl without telling me.

Even if what you said is true,

you still left me because of suspect and jealousy.

That is not love.

You said you valued and cared about me,

I did hear you,

but I didn't feel it.

If I didn't cherish you,

why would I be here?

Because Hao Jie left you.

It was me who left her.

I love you.

It's always been you, and only you.

Did you love Hao Jie?

No, not at all.

I... I swear.

So you broke up with her?

Yes, I did,

because I realized it was a mistake.

So... you lied to her, too.

I...

You took advantage of her love, got her money,

and tricked her into giving her company to you.

Lin Hao, I feel like I don't know you.

No, it's not like that.

Then what's it like exactly?

Did you love her or not?

Did you lie to her or not?

Did you lie to me or not?

Should I believe what you're saying now?

Lin Hao...

you're not the same person... I once knew at school.

You're shrewd now,

and also stupid.

I've always been supportive of you.

No matter what you decided to do,

I was there, to help you achieve it.

Comforting your parents,

persuading the professor,

searching information,

and doing your papers,

I was happy to do them for you.

But what you are after now...

I can't help you anymore.

I can change.

I'll change whatever you don't like about me.

Okay.

Give back everything you got from Hao Jie,

including the company.

Can you do that?

Why?

I've given up so much for the company.

I earned it.

I'm not giving it back.

Xia Yan, it's complicated.

You don't understand.

I understand one simple thing.

We should live with a clear conscience.

Even if I forgive you for cheating on me,

there's no way I can be with this you.

So you want me to stay that poor boy,

and beneath you forever?

I've never thought of you that way.

If you had earned what you have now by your hard work,

I would be nothing but happy.

However...

You really wanna throw away everything?

Seven years.

I'm just as... unwilling to let it go as you.

I was angry and miserable.

But here we are.

You can't give up what you have now.

And I can't find a way to live with what you did.

So...

that's it... for us.

Grab your stuff and leave.

♫ The special train of memory is crowded. ♫

♫ The carriage is full of what I have and lost. ♫

♫ Youth is taking the luggage of dream ♫

♫ to pursue a distant hope. ♫

♫ Start over with the ideals in eyes. ♫

♫ Time is doing magic in secret. ♫

♫ How can the courage be left behind? ♫

♫ Send the most beautiful love words to me in the future. ♫

♫ Be it good or bad, I'll accept with kindness. ♫

♫ Hope the wound will scab. ♫

♫ Love is splashing. ♫

♫ The worthy life is passionate and brilliant. ♫

♫ Let's walk hand in hand ♫
