Ready.

Start.

Wasn't he afraid of heights?

(Don't look down. Just keep looking up.)

(I can do this.)

Sorry.

I got the star.

You passed the test.

You didn't want to go on blind dates.

Are you not anxious to get a girlfriend?

Why would I?

Only the mediocre

need to get rid of their status quo in a hurry.

But I don't need to.

Then what sort of woman would make you anxious?

That Miss Jin.

She has been holding me up

for an hour and 20 minutes.

Thank goodness you got rid of her for me.

Mr. Jiang!

Mr. Jiang, are you all right?

Mr. Jiang!

Mr. Jiang, if you're afraid,

close your eyes, and I'll help you get over to the other side.

I can let you join our company.

Really?

On one condition.

Name it.

Deal with my blind dates for me.

Even a hacker may sometimes

fail to break through firewalls and anti-virus programs.

It's not a hundred percent guaranteed.

But I now have a master key.

(Zero) (Today, I finally...)

(Today, I finally took another step closer to you.)

Wake up.

Wake up.

Surprise!

I would feel more surprised

without the surprise.

That won't do. It's your first day of work.

It needs to be special.

But it might be my last too.

Shoo. All of that nonsense now.

After my training,

no one will be able to tell.

Come on. Take a few steps.

You look handsome.

Do you think my lashes are too long?

Should I get rid of them?

And my eyebrows.

Are they too thin?

Should they be thicker?

Oh, please.

There are lots of guys with longer lashes than girls nowadays.

Look at those idols.

All of them have even better-kept appearances than you do.

Besides, it's the 21st century.

Who says that one must dress according to their gender?

Who decided that guys

have to be rough and masculine

and not neat and tidy?

That's true.

But I'm still worried.

Don't worry. A lot of straight guys

won't even be able to tell.

If you're that worried,

I'll teach you a way to deal with them.

What is it?

If they question your gender,

just tell them

that they're insulting your character

and play the victim.

All right. I got it.

Show some confidence.

Remember the way I taught you to say hello.

Can't I just say "hello"?

No.

You have to trust my years of experience in watching films, okay?

Go on now. Do your best, my dear Li!

(I'm Momo)

(Checkers x2 Checkers x3)

(Checkers x4)

(Checkers x5) All right. I'll pick you up.

(Checkers x6)

(Checkers x7 Checkers x8)

(The checkered shirts that all the programmers are wearing)

(Payment success)

(Programming Department)

- It's so... - It's so beautiful.

Is that what you wanted to say?

Lu Li, right?

Hello.

Remember the way I taught you to say hello.

Hey, brother!

You're strong, brother.

He doesn't fit it, all right.

He means

that you aren't wearing a checkered shirt.

So you stand out.

I've already placed an order.

You're so forthright. He's just joking.

I am Zhang Zhiyuan, leader of the programming team A.

You can call me Old Ape.

Old Ape?

(Old Ape) Yes. That ape.

We're programmers, after all.

The guy joking

(Lin Shutian) with you earlier is Lin Shutian.

He's only 20. He's just like my son.

He still throws childish tantrums.

Don't mind him, all right?

Hey, Old Ape, I'm saying this again.

Don't call me a kid.

Besides, he's much shorter than me.

Being short is good.

How so?

You will never be able

to hold your head up in front of me.

Fine. I won't bother.

Come on, Lu Li. I'll introduce you to others.

(Brother Lei) Brother Lei, we got a new member.

- This is Brother Lei. - If it was locked,

why didn't I notice it?

It doesn't make sense.

There he goes again.

Say, if I didn't lock the door,

I wouldn't go to the administration department to return the key.

If I don't go to the administration department,

I won't be able to get coffee from the art department.

Right?

Yes.

Why do you have to get coffee from the art department?

That's not the point.

I've tried all the coffee machines

in the company.

Considering the impact of the different water pressure

and the degree of wear and tear of the machines,

the coffee machine in the art department

must make the best coffee.

You can try the administration department.

The administration department?

You're right.

Amazing.

You managed to distract him with that.

How do you guys usually deal with that?

We bear with it.

Come on, Lu Li.

This is your workstation.

Lu Li. Let me give you a formal introduction.

(Da Huang) This is our company's Ju Shihuang.

Da Huang.

Get over here.

Just call me if you need anything, Lu Li.

Oh, this guy.

Hello.

Welcome to our ace team.

We'll be colleagues from now on.

Hello.

Hello.

Hey, brother.

What was that?

You're quite strong.

If you have any questions,

you can always come to me.

Why are you guys all wearing checkered shirts?

Because of the bug.

Checkered shirts can reduce the number of bugs.

Just like my screen name.

What's your screen name?

Yongzheng.

Do you know why?

Yongzheng specializes in fixing "bug". [*Bug sounds like the eighth prince of Kangxi]

Nice.

I guess childishness does not distinguish between professions.

No. I'm just kidding.

Checkered shirts just match easily with everything else.

See. No one will be able to tell

how many days someone hasn't changed his clothes.

But they can smell it.

Right.

I have another question.

Why aren't there any female programmers in the team?

I heard Mr. Jiang was badly hurt

by a female programmer before.

So that's how

this place gradually became a temple.

But I think it actually

might be a kind of post-traumatic stress reaction of love.

And?

You only just came. Why are you so interested in the gossip?

I'm not sure either.

A female programmer?

Lu Li.

Your employee ID card is ready.

However, you still need to go to the administration department

to go through the duty formalities.

Welcome to the team.

Thank you.

Oh, right. Friendly reminder.

We don't actually wear

checkered shirts every day.

We only wear it

on big occasions.

Like welcoming you on your first day.

Are you done?

Get to work.

(Lu Li, Programming Team)

Hello.

Are you the one who can help me with the duty formalities?

Hang on.

So you watch dramas during work hours, huh?

You...

(Dark and dense hair.)

(Fair and smooth skin.)

(A refreshing scent.)

(This must be)

(a boyfriend heaven sent me.)

Are you new here, handsome?

What's your name?

Lu Li.

Lu Li.

(Our children will have the surname Lu.)

(It sounds so nice.)

What's your horoscope?

Virgo.

(Me too!)

Does... Does that have anything to do with work?

It has something to do with me.

Which university did you graduate from?

Xinhai University.

Did you bring your graduation certificate?

No.

No worries. Just bring it over next time

so that I can make a photocopy of it.

You have your ID card with you, right?

If you didn't,

your household register would do too.

Do you need it now?

I just have to take a look at it.

(People's Republic of China Resident Identity Card)

Here. Have a look.

Oh, you.

I'm not as strong.

Your hands

are so soft.

Oh, you.

People might see.

My ID card is expired.

I'll bring it to you when I get it replaced.

All right. I'll be waiting for you.

I've never dated this type before.

Good morning, Mr. Jiang.

Hold on.

What's that in your hand?

My ID...

card.

Let me see it.

I caught a glimpse

of the photo on your ID just now.

Is it ugly?

Yes. My ID photo was the ugliest photo

I ever took in my life.

It made me look like a girl.

Do you think you look like a guy?

But that's normal.

(Lu Li, Gender: Female) Only 6.3 percent of people

(Lu Li, Gender: Female) in this world are good-looking.

There aren't many people

who look as good as I do, both in ID photos and real life.

You're right.

I think you look even better in person.

Everyone thinks so too.

Then do you know what a precursor

of a company's fall is?

Customer loss?

No. Employees have nothing to do.

You're wandering around leisurely on your first day of work.

Are you waiting for me to give you work?

I know my mistakes.

I'm going back to work right now.

What's wrong with guys these days?

Welcome!

Get pumped! Keep it up!

Welcome!

Do you want to play ball?

Welcome!

Welcome!

(Xiuxian Team)

(Xiuxian Team)

Steady now.

You can do it, Huang.

Let me know if you need help.

You can do it.

Wait...

(Xiuxian Team)

What is this?

What's going on?

What's going on?

Who sent it?

Who did it?

Who?

Not me.

It definitely wasn't me.

Then who sent it?

You're wearing a wig, aren't you?

I just have excess sebum production on my scalp.

I have excessive dandruff.

Say no more.

I know your secret.

No, wait. Let me explain, Old Ape...

You don't have to explain.

I understand.

Are you suffering from hair loss too?

It's an occupational disease for us.

But you're starting to lose hair way too early.

My father was also...

Hereditary hair loss, right?

Don't worry. I'll send you a few links

to some anti-hair loss shampoo.

The earlier you detect it, the sooner you can get it treated.

Pull it.

Pull harder.

You actually pulled.

I spent money and got a hair transplant.

Work hard and make money.

You'll be able to do the same.

I'll keep your secret safe.

Gather around, kids.

Kids!

What's going on?

What is it?

To welcome our new member,

I've decided that we will give him the highest level of welcome.

That's great!

It's fine. You guys don't have to do that.

- We must! - We have to!

Quiet.

We have to.

(Sufeng E-sports Gaming Center) Work with me today.

We'll get all of them today.

I'll cover for you.

Okay.

So your highest level of welcome for me

is gaming.

- Can't you tell? - Of course!

Hurry up and put on your headphones!

Hurry up!

Coming!

Come on.

The first room, guys.

The first room?

The first room.

I'm here.

(Crossfire)

We won!

That was a good shot I made, wasn't it?

I did a good job covering for you guys, too, right?

Let's go again.

Again?

It's fine if we were evenly matched,

but it's no fun if we're just pummeling you guys one-sidedly.

It won't be fun even if we win.

What do you mean?

Are you looking down on us?

What? What do you mean by that?

Fine. We'll play if you want.

Don't fight. You guys go ahead first.

I need to use the washroom.

Come on.

Let's play another round.

I'm in.

You did that on purpose, didn't you?

I didn't bump into it.

If you didn't,

are you implying that I threw it?

I'm not implying. I know it.

You threw it on the floor.

Stop.

You...

Say that again if you dare.

What's going on?

What's going on?

What's going on with you guys?

Say that again if you dare.

Fine! Say it then!

What are you doing?

What's the matter with him?

Don't be hasty.

ctrl+v.

ctrl+v.

They don't understand.

Also,

hand tremor is an early symptom of Parkinson's.

I suggest you get that checked out.

You sissy.

You were messing with me, weren't you?

How dare you fool me...

Let go. This has nothing to do with you.

He's one of mine.

His business is my business.

Apologize to him.

Why should I?

Ow, let go. Let go of my hand.

Apologize.

S... Sorry.

Get him!

Wait.

I should also warn you

that I have superpowers.

Think twice before you act.

Superpowers?

What sort of powers?

What nonsense is he saying?

I'm super rich.

Right.

If you even get a tiny scratch on me,

I'll hire the best team of lawyers

and sue you.

Also, here, there,

there, and there.

There are cameras everywhere. 360 degrees.

You can go ahead if you dare.

Let's go.

Go back and brush up on your skills.

We have the place all to ourselves for tonight.

My treat.

Come on!

Let's go!

I'm going in first.

Thank you, Mr. Jiang.

Hurry up.

We're waiting for you.

Coming.

Come on. Get ready.

Why do you always get into trouble?

He called me a sissy first.

Who says that a guy has to be manly?

But...

You are a bit too unmanly.

It's the 21st century.

Why should we still judge a man or a woman by their appearance?

Right?

But I just noticed...

I'm back.

Li, you're finally home!

Are you not getting your beauty sleep today?

I want to know your latest progress.

How did it go?

I'm doomed.

Don't you have Adam's apple?

(He asked you that?)

(What was your reply?)

I've always had less androgen in me.

And I have throat inflammation too.

So my thyroid cartilage isn't as distinct.

That's why I don't have Adam's apple.

You don't have to feel insecure about that.

His Adam's apple does not determine a real man.

One should not be afraid of educated liars

but afraid of a genius liar!

My dear Li, you're amazing!

But he is already suspecting me.

My knowledge reserves

are only enough to get me through today.

I have a way to get rid of his suspicions.

Just leave it to me.

She's my ideal type.

I seem to have fallen in love for the 57th time.

(Time to start acting.)

My dear Li!

Stop. Don't move.

Why didn't you answer my calls?

I missed you so much.

We're in public. Let go of me.

Stand straight.

Do you not like me anymore?

If I did something

that made you unhappy,

you could tell me.

I can change.

But don't ignore me.

Your actions today made me very unhappy.

Don't come to my company again, got it?

But I really miss you.

Don't ignore me.

Why don't we have dinner together tonight?

We'll talk about that later. Go back now.

Won't you do as I say?

Fine. If you don't leave, I'll leave.

Li.

That was so manly.

My goodness.

Lu Li! Lu Li!

Lu Li, I have some questions for you.

How did you feel just now?

What made you do what you did earlier?

That's right.

She's too clingy. It can't be helped.

"It can't be helped."

Listen and learn, boys.

You can't judge a person by appearance.

You're on top of the programmers' chain of contempt now!

Right.

What chain of contempt?

Those with wives look down on those without.

Those without a wife but have a girlfriend

look down on those who are single.

Right.

Then among the singles, the computer language editors

and operating systems look down on each other.

Does your girlfriend have a friend

or a cousin or someone that she can

introduce to us?

She might...

Lu Li.

Let's go.

I was away on business yesterday.

So I couldn't join the welcoming party for you.

Let's have lunch together.

Mr. Chen, that's not necessary.

Nonsense. I'm hungry.

Let's go.

Let go of me! Why are you here?

I work here.

(Gu Mo, Art Director)

Do you work at Enchant?

You wouldn't be so surprised about this

if you paid a little more attention to me.

Let me ask you this.

Who was that girly man just now?

My boyfriend.

He happens to work here too.

You better look after your brother-in-law from now on.

I disapprove. Break up with him.

What has that got to do with you?

I'm your brother.

Godbrother, all right?

Even my own parents have never tried to control me so much.

Mind your own business.

Gu Xiaoqi.

Was that your girlfriend just now?

Is there something wrong with her eye?

No, she has good eyesight.

She has 5.0 in both eyes.

Lu Li, I remember your resume stated that you graduated

from Xinhai University with a degree in Computer Science.

That makes you our junior from the same university and major.

You guys are famous in the university.

How famous?

A lot of people think...

A lot of people idolize you guys.

What about you?

My idol is Ada Lovelace.

The founder of computer programs.

Don't you have an idol that's alive?

(I do. It's you.)

No wonder you were so eager to join our company.

So your idol is...

Mr. Chen,

I attended the lecture

you gave at my university.

Chen Yiming?

It's an honor.

Don't talk during a meal.

What? Are you a neat freak?

Lu Li.

Come to my office.

Mr. Chen, is there something you need?

(Mometasone Furoate Gel)

This is for external use.

It'll help stop the itches for now.

You can just tell us if you have a seafood allergy.

Mr. Jiang won't mind.

I know he won't.

Then why did you still eat it?

(Because that was the first time he had picked up food for me.)

I... I thought it would be fine if I only ate one.

But I ended up eating another.

Thank you, Mr. Chen.

You're welcome.

I have to do something as your idol.

Go get busy.

I'll get back to work now.

Does it make a difference if you eat one or two prawns?

Come in.

Um... Mr. Jiang.

Do you know how to debug?

Get this done before you get off the clock.

Okay.

What are you waiting for? For me to give you an award?

Be serious.

I'm done.

I know beautiful things

can be very attractive.

But please be serious when you work.

Sorry, Mr. Jiang!

I've debugged everything.

If there's nothing else, I'm going back to work.

What's wrong with him?

A guy that likes to touch another guy's face?

I'm getting off work!

You're done?

Yes.

Did you check it?

It's fine. There are no problems.

Young people.

Are you guys working overtime today?

What else? Endless codes,

endless bugs to fix, and endless hours of overtime.

That's the norm for us.

Lu, I've sent you the link.

There's a sale right now.

You can get the second one for half price.

Hurry up and get it!

Get what?

Just some daily necessities.

Do you need any?

No.

Aren't you going to see your girlfriend?

It's fine even if I don't.

She'll understand.

What gives?

Even a guy like him with such a consciousness

can get a girlfriend.

Why can't I?

It's fine if you don't.

You can construct a new one.

Construct?

Make one of your own.

Then, I'll make one.

All right. You guys do that.

I'm off.

Bye.

Did you check your work too?

- Bye. - Bye.

(Mose)

(Mose Time)

Li, you're finally back!

Quick. Have a seat.

Were you waiting for me?

Yes.

Now hurry up and tell me

if our act was a success today.

Did they buy it?

Not only did they buy it,

but they're also envious, jealous, and spiteful.

That's good. That means

it'll be fine even if a little accident

happens.

What accident?

That's what happened.

I didn't know Gu Mo would be at Enchant

and that I would even run into him today.

Didn't you say your brother passed away a long time ago?

It's fine.

I'll just try to avoid him

in the company.

You don't know what he's like.

He loves to put his nose into other people's businesses.

And he's full of bad ideas.

If he knew about our relationship,

he would definitely bully you.

But if he does, don't worry,

I'll have my godparents take care of him!

We'll go with the flow and adapt accordingly. Don't worry.

Wait.

Oh, right.

I'll be out-of-town to attend an anime exhibition.

I might be away for a few days.

Take care of yourself then.

Don't worry. Make sure you don't slip up

while I'm away.

I'll hear your report when I come back.

Okay. Don't worry.

(Liking you)

(is not a bug.)

(So there's no need to debug it.)
