Episode 1

Thank you.

Hello?

Sir.

There are three men going down.

The fat guy is our target.

What's going on?

Sorry.

It's not a mission from Uncle Zha.

Why do we risk our life stealing the files?

They were running a human trafficking operation

masqueraded as charity house.

We've got to expose them.

Let's go.

You are not allowed.

Please stop.

You are not allowed to be here.

You are not allowed to be here.

Professor.

Ning.

I heard you're hurried to find me.

What's up?

I need an explanation.

The article was published in Cure.

Explain what?

It's my essay.

Now it's signed by your name,

isn't it?

Your article?

Ning.

You work at my laboratory.

The equipment and the funding

are all provided by me.

Without my leadership,

how could your experiment be successful?

This result is because of our joint effort.

As for the laboratory,

my name is on the thesis,

this is the way it's always done.

There's nothing wrong.

Even so,

you shouldn't have published it.

It's only the original draft.

I still need a long time to polish it.

Now you've published it,

people would only laugh at it.

You don't need to worry about that.

I and the editors are good friends.

They are willing to tolerate

a certain amount of unsupported details in the article.

After all, in the field of medicine,

time means everything.

If you want to be successful,

we have to grab the opportunities.

I'm sure you can understand that,

Ning.

As a scientific researcher,

it's preciseness that matters, not speed.

Scientific researches

are for the benefits of mankind,

not for personal fame, isn't it?

I can see you aren't convinced.

But you have to understand.

Without me,

a black hair, yellow-skinned Chinese woman like yourself,

will never in this life be able

to publish a paper in such an authoritative journal.

Please watch your mouth.

This is racism.

No offense intended.

I was just stating the fact.

Let me tell you a fact.

Last month,

four essays on Cure

were composed by Chinese scientific research institutions

and colleges as the corresponding author.

Chinese's scientific research has grown stronger.

On the contrary, some scientists

who see themselves as experienced and honored

can only stabilize their positions

by plagiarizing from others.

Ning.

What do you want? Tell me.

You published my article

without my authorization.

I can let it go.

But,

I can't take the racism speech

you just made.

I hope you can apologize to me.

Apologize?

I'm kind enough not to ask you to apologize.

Don't forget.

Your visa is about to expire.

Now.

Do you want to continue staying here, or not?

No need.

I won't work with a despicable man

like you anymore.

You can leave.

But no one else would dare to use you.

I advise you, Ning.

Calm down.

Don't ruin your future.

It's you who are ruining your own future.

There's an old saying in China.

Too many evil doings will inevitably lead to one's self destruction.

It's for you.

Good bye.

Without me,

a black hair, yellow-skinned Chinese woman like yourself,

will never in this life be able

to publish a paper in such an

authoritative journal.

Sun.

Is this your team's progress for the recent two weeks?

You've screened nearly a thousand types.

But not yet an ideal one.

Su Qian.

What do you have there?

I was about to tell you.

We've discovered two molecules

that are quite interesting.

Currently, our team is confirming and repeating.

I'll update you for details

when the result comes out.

Okay, that's great.

Report to me once you have a result.

Okay.

The two leaders are here.

What do you need?

In the annual recruitment,

Mr. Wang has employed two researchers overseas.

They are about to come and report for duty.

Each for Miss Su's team and Mr. Sun's team.

Got it.

Hello, I'm Qiu Jianing.

Hello.

I've finally met you.

Let me introduce myself.

I'm the administrator of PLAN O

by Original Life Corporation.

My name is Zhuzhu.

Hello.

Hello.

The car to pick you up is outside.

Let's go.

Let me help you.

Thank you.

It's in the front.

Our car is in the parking lot, it's a bit far.

That way.

Follow me.

Zhuzhu.

Wang, open the door.

This way.

This floor is the office area for PLAN O

Upstairs is Mr. Wang's office.

- Morning. - Morning.

This is where we normally work.

Here's the rest area.

When you are not busy,

you can take a rest at here.

This way.

This is Miss Su's office.

You are distributed to her team.

Okay.

Go inside.

Thank you.

Miss Su, hello.

I'm Qiu Jianing.

I'm here to report for duty.

Welcome.

Here, take a seat.

Thank you.

Would you like anything to drink?

Tea or coffee.

Coffee, please.

When can I start working?

You just got off the plane.

Take a break for two days to adjust your jet lag.

I don't need two days for that.

Okay.

Welcome for joining us.

Qiu Jianing.

Thank you.

What's going on?

She's pretty mysterious.

Why?

I asked her about her personal information

but came out nothing.

Maybe she's playing it cool just got back from abroad.

You must have asked whether she has a boyfriend

or married.

She probably ignored you because you're too gossip.

Aren't you done yet?

What are you talking about?

Wei.

You have to pay more attention.

What's wrong?

You silly head.

The priest from abroad has an easy time preaching.

Let me tell you.

Keep this to yourself.

Her salary is higher than yourself though she just arrived.

Jianing.

Take a seat here.

Okay.

Wei.

Take Qiu Jianing to check on the dorm.

I haven't finished editing

the report you asked me to do.

It won't be long, hurry up.

Just follow her.

Okay, thank you, Miss Su.

Follow me.

Hello?

Hello? Hi.

Is this Zhou Xiaoshan?

Yes.

Hi, I'm Zhuzhu, the administrator of

PLAN O

by Original Life Corporation.

You've accepted

our offer a week ago.

I'm calling to confirm

your time of entry.

I'm sorry.

I'm caught up abroad

due to family affairs.

Alright. We'll keep in touch.

Who were you calling?

Your voice has changed.

This guy is so cute.

Finally there's a motivation for me to go to work.

Look at you.

Appearance means everything.

Have you never met a man before?

Men like you don't count.

Dormitory is one of the benefits

provided for the non-local employees.

I don't know about oversea ones.

But our dormitory

is definitely the best

in the country.

Here's the key.

You'll be living here.

Thank you.

Here.

What's wrong?

Miss Su.

What work do you intend

to let the new girl do?

Give her some of your current

experiments to do.

Why?

Wei.

You are so easy to look through.

I've got my own plan about this.

Go and do your work.

Your report.

There are 35 tables.

There are 52 cards on every table.

You have 15 minutes to memorize

all the cards on all the table.

There will be a test.

Do you know the deal Mr. Zha

made me through?

If you fail the test,

I can immediately eliminate you.

Some memories

can only be forgotten if they are associated

with blood and death.

Tell me what is the fifth card, third role, tenth table.

Six of Diamonds.

First card, fifth role, fifth table.

Three of Spades.

Second card, first role, tenth table.

Five.

Three.

Two.

One.

King of Hearts.

Science is without borders.

But scientists have nationalities.

If our country

can provide a better platform

and resources for domestic scientists,

show them a better prospect,

they will be willing to come back to their motherland,

devoting their life work,

instead of staying in a foreign laboratory

and be a second-class citizen.

Some would even behave contemptibly.

Is that why you insisted on labeling

the PLAN O made-in-china?

That's right.

The PLAN O

can make Chinese scientific force

worldly famous.

Our scientific researchers can be

more confident no matter where they go.

I understand.

As a scientific researcher,

if I only think for myself,

it merely proves my own ability.

After me,

there will be more people go through

exactly the same humiliation I've experienced.

Exactly.

Since it's a Chinese program,

we have to benefit the people

on this land first.

Jianing.

You just came here.

Get acquainted with the program first.

Okay.

I'll go now.

Zheng Wei.

Which data base does this

compound library refer to?

The notes are not clear.

How many pages have you read?

Of course you don't know.

Keep on reading, then you'll know.

Okay.

Hello.

You are Li Chunran.

Good memory.

Well, you can call me Chunran.

Chocolate?

I love chocolate.

Thank you.

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

I checked the program's files today.

It mentioned a compound library,

but no details of the data base.

Do you know where I can find it?

It's a public library owned by our company.

Only the people in the experiment team have access.

You can read the files.

Miss Su will tell you more.

I see.

Chunran.

Did I do anything wrong?

Where does this come from?

I asked Zheng Wei just now.

But it seemed that she doesn't want to talk to me.

Wei is always like that.

Maybe it's because she's

intimidated by your arrival.

Intimidated?

Zheng Wei is Miss Su's trusted subordinate.

Now that you're here,

she may worry that you'd shake her status.

By the way.

Is there a supermarket near the company?

I need to do buy some groceries.

Supermarket? Why don't you shop online?

Online?

The delivery is so slow.

It's not.

If you make the purchase today,

they'll be delivered tomorrow at the latest.

The delivery expenses must be high.

Not really.

If you buy stuff worth around 100 yuan,

the fees will be covered.

You don't have to pay then.

What's wrong?

When I was abroad,

the delivery fees are always high.

It takes a long time to be dispatched, too.

Sometimes it takes more than 10 days.

Jianing, you're so cute.

Don't you know

the new four great inventions of China?

They are take-out, express delivery, Alipay, and high-speed railway.

These are the conveniences of our motherland.

Take your time to enjoy that.

Thank you.

Sister, can you help me to translate

the information on the page?

Hello?

Isn't it 10 A.M. there?

How come you have time to call me?

Well, I'm rather free today.

Not very busy.

Let me ask you.

You sent me an application

for a film school here.

What do you want to do?

One of my classmates is considering studying abroad.

And?

She heard the film industry

over there is prosperous.

So I'm asking about it for her.

Alright.

I'll send it to you after I translate it.

Okay. Thank you.

Hi, I'm checking out.

Okay. Please wait for a while.

a black hair, yellow-skinned Chinese woman like yourself,

will never in this life be able

to publish a paper in such an

authoritative journal.

Mr. Zhang.

Could you help me to carry the luggage?

Okay, Zhuzhu.

I got it.

Thank you.

It's okay.

Xiaoshan, this way, please.

See?

What a cute guy.

So handsome.

Jianing.

How come you aren't excited seeing such a cute guy?

Yeah.

How should I behave then?

Look at Dr. Li.

It looks like she doesn't care

but actually she's...

You're so annoying.

Hurry up and go back to work.

Mr. Sun, Zhou Xiaoshan is here.

This is the leader of our team, Mr. Sun, Sun Lei.

Hello, Mr. Sun.

Have a seat.

I'll see you later.

You finished both of your bachelor's degree

and PhD at Keaton University.

Yes.

Physical chemistry for undergraduate studies.

Then molecule biology during doctoral period.

Miss Su.

Miss Su.

I've got a question for you.

By the way, Jianing.

You haven't met Mr. Sun, right?

Come on, follow me upstairs.

I'll introduce you to him,

Let's get back to your question later.

The famous biochemist, Professor Harry

has recently published an essay

focused on telomerase on Cure.

It can be described as revolutionary.

I wonder if you've read the article.

Coincidentally,

I just read it.

What do you think of it?

Mr. Sun.

Miss Su.

Have a look on this document.

We can discuss about it later.

Okay.

Is this the new member of your team?

Zhou Xiaoshan.

This is the leader of the other team of PLAN O.

Su Qian, Miss Su.

- Hi, Miss Su. I'm Zhou Xiaoshan. - Hi.

By the way, Mr. Sun.

Let me introduce to you.

This is the member of my team,

Qiu Jianing.

Mr. Sun.

Hello, Mr. Sun.

Hello.

Mr. Sun.

You posed a question for him, he's just arrived.

I'm curious about the overseas researcher's thought

on Professor Harry's new essay.

I was wondering, too.

Professor Harry has some unique ideas,

no wonder he's the authority in the industry.

But there are some flaws

in his wording.

Flaws?

You mean

he didn't see what you see.

Sorry, Mr. Sun.

Maybe I haven't got the essence

of the professor.

But I think he's correct.

It says it doesn't have a transcription.

But that's not true.

It's just the transcription wasn't translated

and phrased.

Science is rigorous.

If the author's expression isn't precise enough,

it may mislead the readers.

Also, the second part...

Jianing.

Mr. Sun.

We have some other plans. I'll go down first.

Doctor!

Doctor!

Doctor!

Mr. Qin.

My dad is dying.

What happened? What happened?

Mr. Qin. The patient's blood glucose level is approaching 20.

Isn't Qiu Jiaxin in charge of this room?

Where's she?

She went out to buy milk tea in the afternoon.

I haven't seen her since then.

Milk tea?

Fine.

Ask other patients and families to go out first.

Get ready for rescue.

What did you want to ask me?

Go ahead.

It's like this.

I asked Zheng Wei for some information yesterday,

but she rejected me.

So?

I think she dislikes me.

So?

I'm here to work,

not for some workplace drama.

So do you want me to fix this problem

and maintain your interpersonal relationships?

I'm just a bit confused.

Don't be.

Don't forget

that you're an adult.

The pressure of handling interpersonal relationships

always exists in the world of an adult.

Even children have to learn

how to live when being in a group.

Do you know what you're like now?

You're like a kid

in the junior class of the kindergarten.

You argued with a classmate,

and now you're complaining to your teacher.

I just don't know how I've annoyed her.

You don't know?

Okay.

Let me be clearer.

Do you think it was a right situation

for you to express your ideas?

If the essay

was flawed

just like you said,

why would the editor publish it?

The editors of Cure are always intimated by authority.

Sometimes they do favors for the authorities.

Even so, it's none of your business.

I don't agree.

Maybe you don't understand

much about the ways of people here

after staying abroad for many years.

But I have to warn you.

Young people should keep it low

and be modest whenever they go.

Listen more, instead of speaking.

There's an old saying in China called “Silence is gold.”

It does make sense.

Miss Su.

- I think... - Enough.

I'm not arguing with you.

Just listen to me.

I don't really care if you don't.

Just do your work.

Mr. Zhang.

Could you help me to carry the luggage?

Sure.

Xiaoshan, this is your desk.

The executive office is right there.

You can come to me anytime.

Do all the researchers work here?

The leaders have separate offices.

The researchers are all here.

Thank you.

I'll leave it here.

Come to me if you need anything.

Okay.

Hello.

Zhou Xiaoshan, you're new right?

Hello.

Where did you do your undergrad?

Keaton University in A City.

What did you study?

Physical chemistry.

And for post grad?

I was recommended by my university to go straight to PhD.

I majored in physical chemistry

with my research interest being molecular biology.

Well...I'm impressed.

You must have published many essays.

So far, I've only published three.

What's your highest score of Impact Factor?

Less than 20.

Less than 20?

Less than 20?

Doctor, how's my father.

He's out of danger.

He just needs some rest now.

You can go check on him,

but don't wake him up.

Okay.

Thank you, Doctor.

Thank you, Doctor.

Doctor, what happened to Mr. Zhang?

What are you doing?

Softer. You hurt me.

Stand still.

Stand here.

What am I doing? What did you do?

I bought a cup of milk tea,

during the afternoon break.

I also bought one for you.

Did you give Mr. Zhang the milk tea?

No, I didn't.

You didn't?

The evidence is right there.

Don't lie. Do you know you almost kill him?

Qiu Jiaxin, listen to me.

I won't stop you if you want to go.

But here in the hospital, behave yourself.

Stop causing troubles.

I really didn't.

Can you be softer?

Can you make comments after you understand the situation?

Understand the situation?

There's no need for that.

Because to me, you're that unreliable.

You're irresponsible.

Listen to me.

You are my guide teacher at work.

But we are equal in personality.

You know what? I have

to teach you a lesson about your manner.

Or you will never grow up.

Stand here.

A soldier prefers death to humiliation.

I'd rather give up my degree

than be humiliated by you!

Do you accept US Dollar?

Of course not.

If you don't have cash,

either Alipay or Wechat Pay is fine.

I'll pay for her.

How much is it?

30 yuan.

Alright.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Here's your meal.

I'll pay you back next time.

I'd like this one plus a bottle of water.

Okay.

How could he?

How could he say that to me?

How could he accuse me without knowing the situation?

He was so rude.

I can be dumb or stupid.

But I would never let a diabetic drink milk tea.

As my mentor,

doesn't he have any trust for me?

Like I said, I didn't do it. He just doesn't believe it.

Wait.

I can't cry because of him.

He's nothing.

Qin Bin. We'll see.

The new video is coming.

Thank you for the meal.

You're welcome.

We are colleagues. It's nothing.

But just to give you an advice.

You should download Alipay.

It seems like you're adjusting better than me.

I'm taking things as they come.

But some things can be wrong.

Do you mean the article this morning?

Actually,

I've got another doubt about the article

except for the flaws

of its expression.

I'm listening.

The cancer samples are insufficient

and there's no functional trial.

This article can't support itself.

What's wrong?

Am I wrong?

No.

I just didn't expect

that we'd have the same perspective.

The author's expression isn't precise enough,

it may mislead the readers.

But without enough samples,

the article is just an empty talk.

It's not up to standard though published.

I take a grain of salt

with the author's starting point.

What's wrong?

Let's start from the beginning.

Nice to meet you.

For the second time, nice to meet you too.

By the way.

You were at Keaton University.

Is Professor Charlie still bald?

You know Charlie?

I've met him during an academic exchange.

Did you go to Keaton University too?

Ridel University, PhD.

I stayed in Harry Laboratory after graduated

doing research on biochemistry

and tumoral molecular biology.

That Harry?

Harry who published

the article about how single nucleotide polymorphism

in the telomerase regulating region

of carcinoma tissue and para-carcinoma tissue

effect the transcription.

Don't you believe me?

No.

I'm just wondering why would you come back since they have

such advanced experimental condition.

What do you do now

in Miss Su's team?

Reading files.

You?

What do you do in Mr. Sun's team?

The same as you.

Doing things that even can be done by high school students.

Do you mean Qiu Jianing

and Zhou Xiaoshan got very close?

They were talking and laughing.

It seemed they were clicking.

They stayed abroad for too long

to know how things should be done here.

I probably should

let them know what to do.

Mr. Qin.

I'm very grateful to you.

If you didn't bring back my life in time,

I'm probably dead now.

This is our duty.

Test Mr. Zhang's blood glucose level once an hour.

Immediately report to me if anything comes up.

Sure.

Mr. Qin.

Where's Dr. Qiu?

I'd like to thank her in person.

I haven't seen her today.

Why do you want to thank her for?

Mr. Zhang,

I need to emphasize a few things.

Your diabetes isn't cured yet.

It's only under control for now.

Don't eat things that contain sugar anymore,

okay?

Dr. Qiu is too young.

She couldn't control her appetite.

She brought food in the ward.

I transferred her, in case of other troubles she'd make.

Well...

Mr. Zhang,

You...

Calm down. Calm down.

Lie down.

Did you misunderstand Dr. Qiu?

She didn't give me anything inappropriate.

Didn't she buy you a cup of milk tea?

That's not milk tea.

That's cereal!

I saw someone drinking milk tea yesterday

which tempted me.

Dr. Qiu was afraid that I'd be sad.

So she gave me that.

After I tasted it, I found out

it wasn't milk tea but cereal.

Did you give Mr. Zhang the milk tea?

No, I didn't.

You didn't?

The evidence is right there.

Don't lie. Do you know you almost kill him?

Qiu Jiaxin, listen to me.

I won't stop you if you want to go.

But here in the hospital, behave yourself.

Stop causing troubles.

I...I see.

Dr. Qiu is such a warm-hearted girl.

I've got to thank her in person.

Right. Right.

Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Wang. Have a good rest.

I'm going to check other rooms.

See you, Mr. Qin.

Miss Su.

I've finished reading the files.

Can I start doing experiments now?

No need to hurry.

By the way, Jianing.

I heard you're pretty close

with the new colleague.

That Zhou Xiaoshan in Mr. Sun's team.

Zhou Xiaoshan is new to here.

He's not aware of a lot things.

So I told him...

However, Jianing.

Don't forget

that he works for Mr. Sun

and you work for me.

I hope you won't cross the borders.

I'm not sure what you mean.

Just remember one thing.

Keep distance with Zhou Xiaoshan.

Why?

There's no reason.

Just remember that.

Miss Su.

You are my leader at work.

But other than work, I have a personal life.

I have the freedom of making friends.

Jianing.

I'm considering for you future.

I think you are worrying

if we get too close,

I'd leak our team's advantage

to him by accident.

We all work at the same laboratory.

Do you think I'd be so small-minded?

The reason why I'm worried

is because I've suffered from the same thing before.

Well,

I don't want to mention it again.

But I insist on what I've said.

You just came back here.

There are many things that you don't know.

Sometimes you may know a person's face but his mind.

I don't have the right

to interfere with your personal life.

You can ignore my advice.

But I've done everything I should.

Zhang Yu.

I logged in intranet using my account

to learn more about the current program.

But I can't look at the advanced information.

Do you know how can I get access?

It's like this.

The files you see in the intranet now

are authorized by the company for your level.

As for the higher-level information,

it's not open to everybody.

Then, who is it open to?

The team leader.

You mean Mr. Sun and Miss Su?

I think Miss Su's limits of authority

will be raised.

Why?

Because her team's presentation

is better than ours in progress.

Mr. Wang has asked them to start

preparing for the experiment report.

No way.

We couldn't do the data by all means.

How did they do it?

Well, life is just unfair.

I don't believe it.

Mr. Sun won't lose to that old woman.

Watch your tongue.

According to the World Health Organization,

anyone under 44 years old should be categorized at youth.

Chunran, I wasn't talking about you.

Then who were you talking about?

Her.
