Episode 8

Why are you following me?

You’re going back to the dorm, me too.

We’re on the same way.

I’m not going back.

Lying.

You’re mad?

I’m not mad.

I’m disappointed.

Qiu Jianing.

You think Sun Lei will be grateful to you

if you consider about how he feels?

Have you thought about that

not everyone is worthy of being pleased

and respected.

You can have your own value of life,

but don’t force others to agree with you.

I forgot to take some stuff the other day.

Guess what I saw after I got back?

That poor boy who lost

his wallet

got his next target.

He said and did the same thing as

he said

and did to you before that.

Do you still think

what you insist doing is correct?

So?

What do you think is correct?

Just because you were fooled,

you don’t believe that

there are people who really need help in this world?

You don’t dream light

just because you live in the darkness?

Zhou Xiaoshan,

believing is a choice,

also an ability.

I’m glad I still have this ability.

Have you noticed?

It’s you who lost the

stone, isn’t it?

Let my heart feel the touching

splashes under the dead water.

Do you know that

my pessimism

is like an iceberg slowly melted by the glimmer?

The cheerful look on your face

is my whole summer.

I had so many things to say,

but I stayed in silence.

That’s because I’m afraid that happiness is too short,

yet the time that I miss you

is so long.

You are the sun that illuminates my night.

You comforted me

when I was lost.

I want to become the burning light

in your heart.

Tell you that my love is different.

I’m so nervous.

We’ll know the result today.

No one knows who will win.

If Zhou Xiaoshan loses,

will he really leave?

If Zhou Xiaoshan loses,

it’s hard for Jianing to continue her work.

If she can’t continue her work,

the situation will be difficult to deal with.

That’s right.

Cultivation Department wants us to go there now.

We’ve got the result.

Go. Go.

Mr. Sun has implemented 100 cases of microinjection,

99 of which have successfully

transferred to the uterus of a surrogate mother.

According to gene identification,

there were

65 mice that have been cultivated

meeting the requirements.

Oh my God!

That’s a lot.

The successful production rate

for the lab researchers is 50%

while Mr. Sun made it reach 65%.

In other words,

the mice bred by Zhou Xiaoshan

should reach a survival rate of 65% or above.

That is impossible.

So just ask him to get away.

Zhou Xiaoshan’s

microinjection…

Excuse me.

I have some things to say

before you announce the result, may I?

Jianing, go ahead.

Zhou Xiaoshan

is an outstanding researcher.

When I asked to go back

to the small molecule inhibitor direction,

I only meant protein interaction analysis.

But he not only did the experiment I said,

but also took the initiative to do crystal structure analysis experiments.

He inspired me greatly

both in the idea and direction of the experiment.

Thanks to Zhou Xiaoshan,

my assumption can be established.

If Zhou Xiaoshan lags behind Mr. Sun

in this competition,

as his superior,

I’m willing to accept the consequences.

Zhou Xiaoshan has made 100 cases of microinjection,

99 of which succeeded.

According to gene identification,

there are 75 white mice

that meets the requirement.

The production rate is 75%.

That’s impossible.

No.

I lose.

Thank you.

For what?

For speaking on my side.

It’s okay.

Mr. Sun was aiming at me,

and I’m the one who brought up the competition first.

It’s a bit unfair that you got affected

by our business.

You really think

there’s anything fair in this world?

Of course.

Fairness, justice, and truth

are things that really exist.

If a researcher doesn’t believe it,

I’m afraid he can’t keep up his work.

But reality is cruel.

Though unachievable, aspiration to it remains.

The meaning of persistence and hard work

is that we are infinitely close to the truth.

There is a kind of fish

named faceless fish.

They live in the deep sea of four kilometers.

Because there is no light for a long time,

their eyes are degraded.

So,

you asked me last night

if someone who lives in the dark

doesn’t have the right to long for brightness.

What I want to say is that

it’s not that I don’t want to.

It’s that I’m not able to.

Qiu Jianing,

I admire what you did.

But, not everyone

has the right and the ability to choose.

You’re wrong, Zhou Xiaoshan.

It’s not that the faceless fish doesn’t have eyes.

The eyes are under the surface.

Although I don’t know what you’ve experienced,

I’m different from them.

I see.

Thank you.

Don’t let me down.

See?

Group meeting.

Now,

Mr. Sun has to share the data

no matter if he agrees or not.

He’s coming.

Qiu Jianing,

I want to know if you have the design report

for the following experiments.

I still need some data from Mr. Sun.

I understand.

OK.

Here you are.

This is the process of the experiment.

Come to me if you have any questions.

Okay.

I’ll go.

Qiu Jianing spoke for you.

But she knew you didn’t trust her before.

Why did she spoke for you before the results were announced?

She wants to protect me.

Protect you?

She even can’t protect herself.

Ridiculous.

Xiaoshan,

how did you get the key?

Keys for operating a computer

make different sounds.

Although Qiu Jianing didn’t show me

when she entered the key,

I could tell the number from the sound

made by the keyboard.

Does it mean

that our mission is completed?

Moli,

they ask for the result.

Although PLAN O

is the leading company in this aspect,

as long as they didn’t apply for a patent,

it means that the current result

is not the final result.

I have the key,

but I need to wait.

How long?

You need to be patient.

Coach.

You have a guest?

I don’t have time.

I’m sorry, bro.

I’m just taking a thing for her.

- Go ahead. - I’ll leave soon.

Moli.

How did you get that pendant?

You also watch The Wolf Family?

I don’t.

What kind of character is Silly Wolf?

It's quite unlucky in the animation.

But,

it finally became the most powerful one

in the family.

Why?

It never gives up but keeps working hard.

Is that all?

Yup.

The harder you work, the luckier you will be.

What do you think is

the best quality of Silly Wolf?

It

is cute.

But sometimes confused.

Silly but cute anyway.

From your words,

I also think she’s cute.

You may continue.

I’m leaving.

Moli,

just take it.

See you.

Yes, Moli.

Take it.

Look,

this PROYA black pearl mask

is great.

I’ll leave it here.

Use the face mask.

Jiaxin. Jiaxin.

You’ve been working the whole morning.

You might be a bit sleepy now.

Don’t drink water.

I brought you coffee.

Come on. Sit here.

Let’s go to my place.

The chair is comfortable there.

Unbelievable!

Here, sit.

I was the one who bought you breakfast.

But now you brought

the Luckin Coffee’s afternoon tea.

It's all my favorite.

Go ahead.

I want to ask what flowers your sister likes.

You want to buy flowers for my sister?

Then?

Watch a romantic movie and have a candlelight meal?

How do you know?

Master, I suggest you give up.

Why?

You’re being greedy.

Tell me.

When my sister was in high school,

a boy bought roses for my sister.

Guess what my sister did?

Your sister doesn’t like flowers?

She is so special.

She just threw it away.

No.

My sister pointed out to the boy solemnly that

it’s rose hybrid but not rose.

They both belong to the Rosaceae.

Although it’s easy to confuse them,

a boy who can’t even tell the difference

between rose hybrid and rose

is someone she’ll never put on list.

Your sister is funny.

Funny?

If you treat my sister the same way you treat ordinary women,

my sister will habitually crush your IQ.

For a 100-minute-long movie,

she can tell you one hundred and one

things which are illogical.

The more you say it, the more interested I get.

Are you a freak?

It's a challenge, don't you understand?

Anyway, I told you the difficulty of the matter.

Man proposes, God disposes.

It seems like that

I really have to change my strategy.

Is there anything else that you can tell me?

Let me think.

Wait until I finish.

Okay.

Gentle here.

Okay.

More strength here.

Good.

How’s that? Recall something?

Can you tell me?

I recall…

Can you wait until I finish?

Okay.

Qiu Jianing,

I have a question.

How are you gonna punish me

if I didn’t do well in the next experiment?

Don’t worry. I’ll help you.

Thank god you won’t stick

Silly wolf on my head.

Jianing, I’m back.

Did you have dinner?

I had it at the canteen.

Jianing, what does these formulas mean?

You are a medical student.

Can't you understand the chemical formula?

Jianing, I really want to ask,

have you been in a relationship

when you were abroad?

I haven’t.

No way.

It’s true.

You’re at this age now but you never had a boyfriend?

Who said that I must have

had a boyfriend at this age?

Did you have crushes?

Even if you just felt a little spark.

You’re so sure.

Love is not necessity in life anyway.

What is it then?

Luxury.

Right?

Garbage.

Garbage?

Normally,

as long as men and women have known each other for more than two years,

their bodies will no longer secrete

the hormone of love.

Feelings will gradually fade,

and cool down.

Something that can't stand the test of time like this,

if it’s not garbage, what is it then?

Miss Qiu Jianing, let me interview you.

What’s your necessity in life

that can please you?

Dove chocolate?

Incorrect.

It’s chocolate and coffee?

Jianing, just tell me.

I’ll keep the secret.

Even if you just felt a slight spark, it counts.

Well,

there’re many kinds of likes.

If you insist,

I do like a man.

Who’s he?

Tell me, Jianing.

Leonard Andre Masson.

What?

Leo…

…nard

Andre Masson.

Jianing, is that him?

He…

his appearance is quite…

He’s charming.

Maybe you can go to our hospital

for an ophthalmology when you are free.

I’ll wait for you.

Smart is a new sexy.

You kid

will not understand.

I don’t.

Jianing, keep looking at your formula.

Your phone.

Your sister said that she like this guy.

To be precise, an idol she worships.

Then I think your sister might need to

have an ophthalmology.

That what I told her.

But she said that

smart is a new sexy.

Smart?

Then it’s so easy for me.

What? why are you being like this>

Why the face?

Master, honestly,

in terms of appearance, you belong to the tops.

But in terms of intelligence, you’re at the bottom.

What? You’re saying that I’m not intelligent?

If you were,

you wouldn’t always pay for others’ medical expense.

You don’t understand it.

That’s the kindness of the doctor.

Okay.

Zhao,

I remember that we

still have a paper to finish.

How’s that now?

Do you have a copy in your computer?

What?

I’m just thinking that

we already wrote the beginning,

then we should finish it.

Help me find it. I’ll finish it.

You really think so?

I’m sure you save a copy?

I’ll find it myself.

Where did you put it? Your desktop is a mass.

How can I find it?

Don’t look around.

It’s not in the disk C.

Want some?

What’s wrong with him?

He and I managed to write this paper.

We wrote half of it.

Because there were too many patients,

he gave up.

Mr. Chen tried his best to persuade him

that he should publish this paper no matter what.

If he could get promoted

depends on the number of published papers.

Now look at him.

You know what he said?

What did he say?

If I don’t get promoted, that’s fine.

That’s funny.

It’s good.

From Wolong.

Don’t finish it all.

One more.

Go get it yourself.

There’re a lot.

Don’t take too many.

Lei,

I’ll work with you,

not Qiu Jianing.

Keep watching.

Okay.

Xie Xiaoxiao, come with me.

Lei.

In the lab, I hope you call me

Mr. Sun like everyone else does.

I don’t want to work with Qiu Jianing.

It was decided half a month ago.

Now you regret it?

Isn’t it a bit late?

I thought…

You thought Qiu Jianing couldn't stay.

You didn't expect her to come out of desperation, right?

Xiaoxiao, let me tell you responsibly.

Following Qiu Jianing,

you’ll learn more than following me.

You’re the reason I’m here.

Why are you being like this?

I thought I made it clear.

We’re not suitable together.

How?

We are together,

why not suitable?

Xie Xiaoxiao,

in accordance with the laboratory's rules and regulations,

you made such a big mistake,

so you should be dismissed.

If it wasn't Qiu Jianing,

you have no chance to stand here and

bargain with me. You know?

I accidentally made such a big mistake.

I promise I won't do

this kind of experimental mistake again.

I’m sorry,

we’ve got enough experimenters in our group.

You have two options now.

Follow Qiu Jianing,

or resign.

Xiaoxiao, Jianing is waiting for you.

Take your stuff.

Come in.

The experiment plan was sent to your e-mail.

Before experimenting,

I want to tell you something.

Tie up your hair.

It’s likely to burn if you don’t.

The laboratory has regulations.

The experimenter shall not be disheveled.

Change your slippers tomorrow.

Slippers?

That’s the latest fashion this year.

Forget it. You don't understand.

If your fluffy slippers are splashed

by toxic chemical reagents,

you will lose

the so-called fashion shoes.

I won't make such an inferior mistake.

Anyone who is drowned can swim.

Did you put on perfume?

Don’t do it tomorrow.

And don’t bring it to the lab.

It’ll cause explosion.

Tomorrow in the lab,

I hope you can correct all the mistakes.

Now you can go to the lab.

What if I don’t?

You can try.

I’ll give you 10 minutes.

I hope I can see you prepared

in the lab.

Go.

Qiu Jianing,

what can you do with me?

What do you think that I can do with you?

Okay.

Fine.

It was you who wanted to keep her.

It’s also you now

who creates so much tension.

Keeping her is another matter.

I’m here to work,

not to have a friendship with her.

What should we do next?

Get the equipment first.

I’ll wait for you in the lab.

Zhou Xiaoshan,

button up.

Okay.

You look good with your hair tied up.

This is what an experimenter looks like.

What should we do next?

Cell cultivation.

We have limited time.

The laboratory has a dedicated technical department.

We can get the cells there.

Why do we have to cultivate them by ourselves?

Our three experiments

were conducted by different people.

So for the preciseness of the experiment,

we need experimental materials,

methods,

and steps

to be highly consistent.

The state of the cells is very important.

Do the next step

after the cells are ready.

The cell's response to the target substance

will be more convincing.

Do you have any other questions?

Let’s start.

All right.

Now turn on the timer in your phone.

Set six hours.

After the cells are fully attached,

aspirate the medium containing the cryopreservation solution

and change it into complete medium.

You know Sun Lei before.

We are from the same university. He is my senior.

Senior?

He is so much older than you.

You should call him uncle.

I went to school at a younger age.

Xiaoxiao.

How did it go?

Cell cultivation.

She said,

for the preciseness of the experiment,

the experiment materials, steps, and methods

need to be highly consistent.

Master Qiu is thoughtful.

Master Qiu?

How can you call her Master.

She’s the group leader now,

and she’s older than me.

She can teach me lots of new things.

Isn't it right for me to call her Master?

Momo, you like her so much.,

Let’s exchange, can we?

Why?

The fire is not my fault.

Momo,

Xiaoxiao is in a bad mood.

Don’t be harsh.

She didn’t mean it. Don’t take it personally.

Eat when it’s still warm.

You don’t really think

the reason Qiu Jianing’s here

is to dedicate herself for science?

Zhu, what do you mean?

Remember the people coming from abroad two years ago?

Yes.

Lei really disliked them.

Yes.

After they published some papers,

they used it as the steppingstone

and went to the lab abroad.

I think

Qiu Jianing also sees this as a steppingstone.

She won’t stay for long.

You mean

the reason she does the experiment everyday

is to clear herself?

Just think about it,

after she stay here for a few years,

who will remember she used to be fired?

Also,

our pharmaceutical group

is second to none in the country.

She is the core researcher here.

She’s popular

in the talent market.

No way.

I don’t think Qiu Jianing is this kind of person.

Well,

I’ve made it clear to you.

Believe it or not,

it’s up to you.

I don’t care why she’s here.

As long as she’s against Lei,

she’s against me.

Xie Xiaoxiao doesn't seem to cooperate with the experiment.

Do you know why she entered the laboratory?

You know?

Sun Lei is her senior.

She entered the laboratory for Sun Lei.

So what?

Aren’t you worried?

Taste it.

There’s a surprise.

Come on.

You mean the spicy taste?

Surprise?

Did I offend you, Qiu Jianing?

When I wrote my doctoral dissertation,

I got stuck once

which made me very anxious.

But then it happened that I drank coke

and ate the chili that my Mexican classmate gave me.

At that moment,

it's so spicy and made me crying.

But after that, I felt

relaxed.

So whenever I am anxious,

I drink coke with chili.

So you are anxious.

How can I not be?

I understand everything you said.

Mr. Sun’s prejudice.

Xie Xiaoxiao’s not cooperative.

And Mr. Wang’s expectations.

These all make me anxious.

Very anxious.

But if one only thinks about anxiety,

and just falls into this emotion blindly,

it won’t help at all.

It will only make things worse.

So, are you feeling better?

Zhou Xiaoshan,

just focus on your work.

Other things are not problems.

Good.

Xiaoxiao has finished.

I’m off work then.

Any problem?

Watch Xiaoxiao’s.

See the difference?

Different shape.

Anything else?

No.

There are beautiful and ugly cells,

Xiaoxiao’s cells are round and full,

and yours are bumpy.

It’s unhealthy.

Unhealthy cells have no beauty.

Look at them again.

I disagree.

I think mine are beautiful as well.

Where?

Zhou Xiaoshan, do you have any sense of aesthetics?

Of course.

I don’t think so.

You look pretty.

I think you look pretty.

This means I have no problem with the sense of aesthetics.

Zhou Xiaoshan,

I’m being serious.

Beauty

is the most serious scientific thing

in the world.

I’m sorry.

I was in physical chemistry for undergraduate.

I just transferred to biomolecular science until I got my Ph.D.,

so my basic experiment skills are not solid.

It’s okay.

Tomorrow, I will watch you do it step by step

and see where the problem is.

Okay.

You’re off work.

Hungry?

I promise you won’t have diarrhea this time.

What do you want to eat?

You are a local. I will listen to you.

There is a western restaurant

that I used to go to before I went abroad. Let’s go there.

Okay.

Qiu Jianing,

this is the restaurant you were talking about?

Isn't this a bar?

Your life logic is too special, right?

Is it special?

Anyway, it’s okay as long as we can eat.

Qianya.

You’re here.

Jianing, nice to meet you.

Coming to the bar and treat for dinner

looks like a terrible idea that

a woman like you could come up to.

Who’s that?

My colleague.

Except for colleague,

no other identity?

No.

No?

Then I’m going to make a move.

I don’t mind.

Take good care of him. I’ll go to the toilet.

Hi handsome.

Hello.

May I be your WeChat friend?

When she is working,

I always couldn’t get in touch with her.

You are her colleague.

When I can't get her,

I’ll contact you.

Is it okay for you?

If it’s to find Qiu Jianing, of course it’s okay.

But if it’s for other reasons,

maybe not.

For example?

For example,

to test my loyalty to Qiu Jianing,

deliberately teasing me.

Here, you can scan it.

Sure enough, you and Qiu Jianing are the same,

nasty smart.

My pleasure.

Let me introduce myself formally, Xu Qianya.

Qiu Jianing's best friend.

Nice to meet you. Hope we get along.

Zhou Xiaoshan.

So you’re Xu Qianya.

You know me.

Never mind.

Good bar.

Zhou Xiaoshan,

is this woman very annoying?

Xu Qianya,

you want to turn us against each other?

It’s okay.

Just say it.

I’m here.

She

is fine.

Qiu Jianing,

you changed

into another person.

She is talented at work,

but she’s a fool in life.

You are a fool. Can you stop saying so much?

For example?

For example,

she has no sense of direction.

We are high school classmates,

also roommates.

I remember when it was just a week after enrolling in school,

one day I received her call in the dormitory.

She said she’s lost,

lost in school.

Come on.

That’s just three days after my enrolling.

Isn't it normal for me to get lost?

Then why don't you tell him that

from the front door to the back door of our school

is just two minutes away.

She can get lost in just a small place.

Yes.

That's better than some people

who never passed the mathematics exam in the third year of high school.

See?

That’s painful for her.

She starts to attack me personally now.

It’s fine.

It’s OK

if a girl doesn’t have a good sense of direction.

A girl?

Qiu Jianing,

no one called you a girl before, right?

Alright.

Time to order, boss.

Go.

Sit.

Sit.

Xiaofu, give him a glass of wine.

Luchi (someone who can’t tell the direction)

Thanks.

You are welcome.

Are you a friend of that lady?

She’s my boss.

I heard from my boss that

your boss is a scientist. Is it true?

Scientist?

How should I define that?

She got her doctorate at the age of 24.

Now she is the core researcher of our company.

To be precise, she is

a senior researcher.

How’s that possible?

She doesn’t look that way?

I mean,

my boss is someone who can’t

make the account if the number is over 100.

The characters she knows are less than 2,000.

How can they be friends?

That’s funny.

I don’t have clothes to wear.

What should I do?

Jianing.

There are only two cups of grain and fruit juice tea with honey left.

Which one do you want?

I’d like the lemonade with Kumquat.

You’ll have the grapefruit tea with peach.

You’re so nice.

Can you do me a favor?

Go ahead.

Lend me a suit.

Where’re your clothes?

Come on, Qiu Jianing.

You put all your clothes here.

They’ll produce virus.

You’re at least a scientist, a kind of engineering elite.

Not virus.

It’s bacteria.

Bacteria, fine.

Bacteria are not terrible.

You have so many clothes anyway.

Just lend me a suit.

If I saw this again,

I’d take photos

and upload on your company’s website

so everyone will know it.

Just lend me a suit.

Beg me, be sweet.

Please, just lend me a suit.

Please.

So cute.

Okay.

I’ll lend you a suit of mine then.

For emergency.

I don’t have the occasion to wear it.

Really?

My sister is the best.

No.

As your sister,

I can’t see you like this.

I’ll take you to buy some clothes

tomorrow after I’m off work.

Tomorrow afternoon.

If you don’t agree,

I’ll call Mr. Qiu.

Tell him that his baby girl is shabby

that she needs to borrow clothes from her sister.

Okay, I have time tomorrow afternoon.

I’m leaving.

Close the door.

I’ll close it for you.

Jianing.

Morning.

So pretty.

I can’t recognize you when you wear this.

I didn’t bring many clothes,

I borrowed it from my sister.

Is it impropriate?

No.

It fits you very well.

Very pretty.

Morning, Jianing, Chunran.

Morning.

Morning.

Jianing,

Jianing, you look so good today.

Jianing, you’re so beautiful today.

- So beautiful. - Thanks.

Morning.

Morning, Jianing.

Morning.

Morning.

Morning, Jianing.

Morning, Jianing.

Wang.

Chunran, you’re so pretty as well.

Jianing,

you look like a different person today.

So pretty.

Really?

Yes.

Am I prettier?

Morning, Jianing.
