All language subtitles for [eng] Our Times 10

(Yanjing University IT Faculty)
The weather in Beijing is strange indeed.

I went on a business trip for less than two months.

But now, it's scorching outside.

Man Huan Sheng

did a good job at taking care of my plants.

You're right.

It's almost the middle of June now.

Don't you think you should

move your Devil's Ivy inside by now?

You do have a point.

If not, they'll dry out from the heat.

You know

the president's plants better than me.

How about this? Why don't you move to my place?

Look at what you're saying.

How did you become more humorous

after your trip to the HQ?

Listen,

you're the main pillar of our company.

All of us

were waiting for your return.

It's the same for me. I missed everyone as well.

It's just that I was quite hasty with my last trip.

I forgot to buy some gifts for you guys.

How is the company doing?

Have the others returned from
their business trips?

Xiao Chuang and Pei Qing Hua haven't returned yet.

Xiao Chuang hasn't returned yet?

Since when did Pei Qing Hua go on a business trip?

It's like this.

Some time ago,

something went wrong with Baosong Steel's order.

Did they cancel their order then?

They didn't.

You see,

we had a deal with them before.

But all of a sudden,

the brand, Jefferson, came out

and became our competitor.

That's why I sent Pei Qing Hua
to assist Xiao Chuang.

It's fine. This problem has been solved.

Have they signed the contract?

They faxed

the signed contract to me half an hour ago.

I guess they will arrive by tonight.

=Episode 10=

(Squint)
(Look at someone disdainfully)

=Our Times=

After my trip to the HQ, I found out

that the sales department

does more than selling.

It's the downstream process of our industry.

Above it, we have

branding, marketing,

and so on.

After this, we need to pay attention to all of them.

Great words.

In the future,

let's find a chance

and ask Director Lin to teach us.

We need to improve ourselves.

All right.

- Sure.
- No problem.

To Director Lin.

- Director Lin, come on.
- All right.

- To Director Lin.
- Come on.

You have a table inside? Please enter.

Brother Xiao!

- We're back.
- Hurry.

- Come in.
- I'll carry this for you.

Our heroes are back.

- Have a seat.
- It's fine.

- Have a seat.
- Have a seat.

I've heard about what you two had done.

Not bad at all.

You two have closed the deal with Baosong Steel,

a huge client for our company.

You two have opened up
a new prospect for our company

within the northeast region.

Your deeds will be rewarded.

Thank you, Director Lin.

Thank you, Director.

Pei Qing Hua.

Today, Director Song of Lab 5

asked me

if you were returning to their lab.

Even if it's a secondment,

he said you should report it to them first.

At least you need to cancel out your name
before you head to another lab.

That was his message for you.

What?

Pei Qing Hua,

don't tell me you're thinking of returning there?

Did I hear it right?

You have rendered two great merits.

It's illogical for you to go back right now.

Director Lin, come on. We haven't
offered you a toast

since your return.

Come on, let's have a toast.

- All right.
- Let's give Director Lin a toast.

Come on.

Today, we're celebrating two happy events.

Let's have a toast.

Enjoy yourself tonight, all right?

This meal is on the company. Come on.

Did you guys see that star?

The shiniest one.

I have loved to stare at it since young.

Because I think

it's different from the other stars.

It's cool.

It's the hero among stars.

I even gave it a name.

It's Hero Star.

That's Venus.

It's known as Phosphorus during the morning

and Hesperus during the night.

According to the book,
Venus represents death and revival.

I was young when I gave it that name.
No one knows that fact when they're young.

Anyway, I like the feeling it gives out.

It's dazzling, outstanding, and one in a million.

Maybe, because of this,

my dream

was to be a hero since young.

You are a hero.

You always kept an eye out for us.

You brought us to have all kinds of fun.

And now, you managed to close Baosong Steel's deal.

You're the hero in my heart.

Even though I'm not a hero yet,

maybe I'll be one after I work harder
for a few more years.

Qi Rong Bin, why are you being a busybody?

How am I being a busybody?

I have dreams as well.

That's great. Come on.

What kind of dream do you have?

When I was young, my dream

was to earn money and get myself a wife.

I wanted to have my own house at a young age.

But ever since I became a businessman,

I feel a sense of achievement

whenever I close a deal.

I think doing business is my dream.

Xu Yi Wan, what kind of expression was that?

I would like to hear about how noble
your dreams are.

My dream is simple.

I just wished

that I could find my hero one day.

Man Huan Sheng, tell us about your dream.

I'm happy to see that you guys are fired up

over your dreams.

But a person like me

doesn't have any dreams.

Anyone can have a dream.

That's right.

No matter what happens in the future,

I can be just like a little bird.

I can fly freely in the sky.

I can explore more places

and explore the world.

Man Huan Sheng, you'll find your dream

when you take a walk.

You'll find one sooner or later.

And you'll achieve your dream eventually.

Stars? Dreams? All these talks...

Too mushy for me.

Junior,

let's get straight to the point.

Stay at Huayan.

Don't leave, all right?

He's right.

If you leave, we won't have enough
members for sports.

Pei Qing Hua, don't leave.

All of us can't bear to part with you.

Since Pei has good technical skills,

I think doing research is more suitable for him.

Are you trying to betray our organization?

No.

I don't want you to leave as well.

To be honest, I haven't made up my mind yet.

Once I made up my mind,

I'll tell everyone.

(China)
Hey, are you guys sober enough to play?

Who says we can't play basketball when we're drunk?

Let's go!

Come on.

I'll take a look as well.

Junior, are you still thinking about
the promise you made to your parents?

Not bad.

No matter what you do,

I will always support you.

Pass the ball to me.

The three of us will compete against
the three of you.

- All right. Let's begin.
- Brother Xiao, you can do it!

Guard him!

(Yanjing University IT Faculty)

(7th June 1992, Sunday)

(8th June 1992, Monday)

(Advanced unit) (Development is the truth)

You're so early today.

I couldn't sleep, so I came early.

Morning.

Have you guys had breakfast?

Morning.

Morning.

Morning, Qing Hua.

Pei Qing Hua, you haven't had breakfast, right?

I bought some buns on my way here.

No need for that.

I'll buy my food later. You can have them.

Just have them.

Pei Qing Hua, finish the congee
once you finish the buns.

You don't need to do this. You can have it.

Brother Xiao, what's wrong?

I'm having a headache.
I think I drank too much last night.

How come I feel fine?

You are the best at holding your liquor

in our company.

I wish to tell you guys something.

Don't.

I'm not mentally prepared for that.
And I have a headache.

I'm not leaving.

What did you say?

I said I'm not leaving.

Last night, we talked about our dreams.

Actually, since young,

my dream was to be a scientist.

But a lot of things have happened lately.

Lab 3 had turned into Huayan.

I went to Guangzhou to sell computers.

And I closed the deal with Baosong Steel
in the northeast region.

After that, I gradually realized

that many things have their own meaning,

even though I might not understand them.

No matter if it's doing research
or doing business,

from a certain perspective,
it leads to the same path.

The latter might even be a quicker path
for me to achieve my dream.

So now, you got everything figured out?

Not completely.

But I finally figured something out,

that is for me to do something meaningful.

I'm willing to work hard for my goal.

I'm willing to work hard together with you guys.

I'll stay.

I knew you could come around! Come on!

You did scare me just now.

Senior, I thought you have a headache?

Headache? I'm fine now.

Pei Qing Hua, if you're not leaving,

you see, I haven't had my breakfast yet...

I'll have them later.

- Qi Rong Bin, return to your seat.
- I'm hungry.

- How could you act like this?
- What are you doing?

- I'm hungry.
- How could you act like this?

- Junior, you can have them.
- Go back to your own seat.

You can have them.

Sit down.

(Yanjing University IT Faculty)

We've been drafting contracts
the entire morning.

You should take a nap. Why are you staring at me?

I'm too excited. I can't sleep.

You finally decided to stay.

This is great news. How could I sleep?

Don't tell me you'll regret your decision later?

Don't worry, Senior, I will never

go against my words.

Since you're not sleeping, I'll take a nap then.

Go ahead.

I need to call Xie Hang later.

I wish you luck.

(Letterbox)

Hello, Xie Hang?

I'm calling you during my lunch break.

So, have you eaten?

I have. What about you?

I just finished eating.

I have good news for you.

My junior is not leaving.

He decided to stay with our company.

Before this,

I was so scared.

Xiao Chuang.

I have something to tell you.

Go ahead. What's wrong?

I...

I might not be able to return.

But why?

I told my superior that I was resigning,
but he said

I need to pay him a training fee

according to the regulations here.

Training fee?

Just pay him then. How much does it cost?

I'll come up with something for you.

Xiao Chuang, this is more complicated

than you had imagined.

The training fee

costs 20,000 yuan.

Sorry.

I think I might not be able to keep my words.

(Until now,)

Huayan has been established for a few months.

The first stage of our establishment

is basically complete.

We can say that it's stable for now.

We've opened up the market as well.

Everyone here

has a stable supply of clients.

So, in the future,

(Fight As One)

I don't think

we should go on too many business trips.

Director Lin,

don't you wish to open up other markets
for our company?

Of course I do. You don't have to ask this.

At our current phase, keeping a stable
client source is more important.

This is our priority for now.

Well... our client source

can be considered stable for now.

But the contact between clients

mustn't be neglected.

Those who need to move around
still need to move around.

Those who need to visit others will visit them.

By the way,

Pei Qing Hua wasn't assigned to a zone last time.

Now, you'll take over the Beijing zone.

Perform well.

Thank you, Director Tan.

What about me? Which zone do I belong to?

The others will retain the same zones.

You're still responsible for Shanghai, while
Xiao Chuang is responsible for the northeast.

Brother Xiao,

actually, we don't need to go on
business trips any longer.

We just need to make a call.

It's fine even if we weren't assigned to
the Shanghai zone.

I have no time for this.

Where are you going?

Hello?

Hello, is Pei Qing Hua around?

Pei Qing Hua, someone is looking for you.

Hello, this is Pei Qing Hua from Huayan.

Brother Pei, I'm Lu.

Brother Lu?

Where's Xiao Chuang?

He went to make a call.

I told him I am here.

By the way, Brother Lu, you told me on the phone

that you have some business to discuss with me.

What is it?

I plan to expand our shop.

I'm searching for a suitable shop in Beijing.

I plan to sell used computers
from Conpo Computer.

I knew it.

I knew Conpo Computer would do great

once you and your friends sell them.

In the future, I'll come to Beijing often.

By then,

you need to introduce some clients to me, okay?

You don't need to worry about that.

It's a win-win situation
if the enterprises and consumers

can earn back some of their budgets.

Great. Let's drink. Are you not drinking today?

I won't drink today.

Brother Lu.

You're so late.

Come on, drink up.

- Come on.
- Come on.

Brother Lu, I'll be honest with you.

I'm in trouble lately.

I need to borrow money from you.

20,000 yuan.

If you have any extra money on you,

please lend it to me. You can decide the interest.

Why are you trying to borrow money
in such a hurry?

I'll explain it to you later.

Mate,

you should've told me earlier.

I just invested all of my money into my shop.

How about this? You should wait for
my shop to stabilize.

- After that, I'll...
- Brother Lu, it's fine.

It's fine. I'll come up with a solution.

Although

I can't lend you money,

I can give you an idea.

What idea?

So, what do you think is the fastest way
to earn money right now?

Of course it's stocks.

Look.

Shenzhen will authorize

the sale of stock subscription
certificates soon.

(Yanjing Evening News)

As long as you bring enough ID cards

to join the lottery system and buy new stocks,

you'll earn plenty of money.

Brother Lu, you may not know,

but

I got into trouble because of this last time.

It's impossible for me to repeat the same mistake.

But if you wish to earn money in a short period,

this is the best chance for you to do so.

Actually, you should think of it like this.

You should pick yourself up
from where you've fallen.

Am I right?

(Yanjing Evening News, IPO subscription)
I'll leave the newspaper here.

I've shown you the way.

It all depends on you if you want to take it or not.

Junior,

do you still remember how we got the money

for the Lunar New Year?

I asked you before,

but you didn't tell me.

I got the money

by selling my subscription certificates.

But I got those subscription certificates

from Xie Hang as compensation

for the Chinese language card's loss.

Back then, she didn't know

that these subscription certificates
were meant for the bank's internal circulation.

That's why other people's names are on them.

Not long after I sold them,

the cops found her and investigated her.

She got into huge trouble because of this.

So, did you and Qi move to Shanghai

because of this matter?

That's right.

Now, she's not doing good in Shanghai.

And she needs to pay a training fee

before she can resign.

It's 20,000 yuan.

Speaking of which,

this happened because of me.

Don't blame yourself. It's not your problem.

The problem right now

is how to help her out and how to save her.

Junior, how many people are there in your village?

I guess there are more than 200 people.

Why are you asking me this?

Can you get their ID cards for me?

I can't help you to speculate on stocks.

I won't let you do it as well.

I'm not speculating on stocks. Look.

Just look at it.

Our country is distributing stocks.

They encourage us to buy them
and respond to their call.

If we buy them, we're contributing
to our society's economy.

It's a good thing.

I can give it a try.

But if you leave, you need to
leave for quite some time.

What about your work?
Will you apply for leave or not?

I don't have time to care about that.

I'll do it and see how it goes from there.

Senior,

I realized

that you disregard everything else

when it comes to Xie Hang.

At first, I don't understand it as well.

But after I met her,

I figured everything out.

Don't worry. You'll figure it out soon.

What are you writing? Let me see.

Pei Qing Hua hereby invites Tan Yuan

to take a walk in Yuyuantan Park in late autumn

(Invitation letter)

and to have authentic Beijing hot pot
at North Street's Mutton Hotpot

during the night my father is working overtime.

What do you plan to do with him

when your father isn't around?

I want him to make me a bowl of paomo.
[*a specialty of Shaanxi cuisine]

Is there only food on your mind?

You can get North Street's Mutton Hotpot anytime.

Why did you write that down?

I don't know what else to write.

I thought you were still angry at him?

He wrote me this letter.

And I forgave him.

Can't you be more reserved for once?

When it comes to love,

her IQ goes down to zero.

Precisely.

You guys are too old-fashioned.

Who said girls need to be reserved?

If you like him, just court him.
If you don't like him, just tell him.

We should be straightforward. Isn't that better?

Sure. You're right in everything.

If so, let me wish you

a happy relationship.

North Street's Mutton Hotpot?

Why were you following me?

You scared me.

Why are you here?

Why are you looking for me?

(Be silent)

Comrade.

I wish to borrow these five books.

Pei Qing Hua, why are you here again?

According to the rules of
Yanjing University's library,

each person can only borrow
at most 40 books per month.

We're only one week in,

but you've borrowed 38 books.

You can only borrow two more books.

All right then.

Sorry about that.
I'll return the other three books.

Comrade, can I borrow four books this time?

Especially this book,
the Arts And Skills of Sales.

I've been waiting to borrow it for a long time.

Someone just returned the book to the library.

You're from Lab 3, right?

That's right.

Lab 3,

Man Huan Sheng.

Comrade, did you mistake me for someone else?

I'm not Man Huan Sheng. I'm Pei Qing Hua.

No, I mean, I'm Man Huan Sheng.

Here you go.

So, can I borrow the other book as well?

Go ahead.

Thank you.

1693.

All right.

Thank you.

(It's like this.)

I'm in a bit of a pickle here.

Only you can help me out.

What is it?

Next month, they will distribute

new subscription certificates.

I urgently need some ID cards.

Can you borrow some from your classmates?

I'm not that capable. Please find someone else.

What is this?

What are you doing?

- Give it to me!
- Don't snatch it from me!

Give it to me!

Pei Qing Hua hereby invites Tan Yuan...

So, you two have progressed to this stage?

I was wondering why you were
staring at it while you walked.

You did a good job at hiding it.

It's no wonder I felt something wrong
when you two went

to see the mainframe.

What kind of nonsense are you spouting?

I'm not spouting nonsense.

Everything is written on it.

My junior even gave his thumbprint.

My junior is doing great, huh? You two are...

Wait.

Wait.

Listen,

(Lingyun Road)

there's something wrong with your letter.

You corrected it over and over again.

It's not creative at all.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

I have no other choice.

No other choice? You do have other choices.

Listen,

there's a huge bug

with your letter.

(Yanjing University)

As long as you utilize it in a proper way,

you'll be able to get anything you want.

- You must be joking.
- Why would I joke around with you?

I'm not joking.

How about this?

I can

give you the solution.

But first, you need to help me.

Come on, open your letter.

(Yanjing University)

You see?

(Invitation letter)
Pei Qing Hua hereby invites Tan Yuan.

Do you see what's wrong?

There's no quantifier.

It didn't state one time, one item,

or for one lifetime.

So?

So you can write whatever you want.

You should make your words smaller
and write them here.

You should fill up the entire paper.

And

how could such a silly guy exist in the world?

He even gave you his thumbprint.

That means he needs to do everything
you ask of him.

You're right.

Am I right?

So what do you think?

Fine then.

Since you've done me a huge favor,

I'll help you out with the ID cards.

How many do you need?

I need 100 of them.

100?

You're not helping me for free.

If you help me out this time,

I'll make sure you and my junior

get together with each other.

- Stop spouting nonsense.
- Okay.

Bye.

I'm going to earn my budget now. You can do it.

By the way, Brother,

you just treated us to lamb hotpot a few days ago.

You're treating us to it again?

What's going on? Did you earn a huge amount of money?

Brother Xiao has always been this generous.

He's unlike a stingy person like you.

Am I right?

I agree.

Qi, I suppose you did great at sales as well.

- Precisely.
- Man Huan Sheng, I...

Actually, I called you guys here

because I want to borrow some money from you guys.

How much do you need?

12,000 yuan.

Actually,

10,000 is enough as well.

Wait, you're trying to borrow
so much money from us?

What will you use it for?

I'm in a bit of a pickle here. It's an emergency.

Speak up.

I'm just joking.

I'm just joking.

Look at how scared you guys are.

Usually, people ask me to lend them money.

Since when have I borrowed money from others?

Am I right?

I'm just trying to lighten the mood.

Come on, let's continue.

Today's mutton is tender indeed.

I love mutton leg.

I'll cook it for you guys. It's super tender.

Enough already. It's beef.

I don't think this is enough for us.

I'll go and order something else.

Enjoy yourself, all right?

I didn't manage to borrow any money.

Not only that, I even treated them to a hotpot.

What are you doing?

I'm reading some books since I have nothing to do.

I'm just trying to kill some time.

Senior,

I managed to gather 800 yuan.

You can take it first. Hurry.

Junior, you see,

your 800 yuan doesn't solve my problem.

And I know

that you took this out from your saving.

You should keep it for yourself.

All right then. I know I can't
help you out with money.

I'll think of something

and get you some ID cards then.

Thanks.

Brother Xiao, are you asleep?

Yi Wan, what's wrong? It's quite late now.

I know you need money.

I have 2,000 yuan in my bank book.

I have 600 yuan with me.

Initially, I wanted to buy myself

a new watch from Shanghai.

But after I think about it,

this watch

has accompanied me for many years.

I can't bear to change it.

So you can take the 600 yuan for now.

I'll give you the 2,000 yuan tomorrow
after I take it out

from my bank book.

This isn't a small sum.

Are you sure about this?

Of course I need to lend you money
when you need it.

All right.

Thank you for this.

Don't worry. I'm not borrowing it for free.
I will pay it together with the interest.

- All right. See you.
- See you.

I didn't expect Yi Wan to be this chivalrous

even though she's casual and carefree.

Not only is she chivalrous,

she treats you well.

But of course. We're good friends.

But speaking of which,

I know someone is treating you well.

That Tan Yuan treats you exceptionally well.

Even though it was late,

she still brought us to see
the mainframe last time.

What are you talking about?

Don't spout nonsense.

She did so because...

Because...

She wanted to thank me for helping her out.

That's why she brought us there.

Is that so?

How about this?

I think both of you

should stop thanking each other.

I'll be a matchmaker for you.

What are you doing? Please don't
take this upon yourself.

There's nothing between us.

You're dumb indeed.

Is your family going to install a telephone soon?

The installation fee costs a few thousand yuan.

Tell me. Did you do it because of him?

My father wanted to install it.

Now that everyone is doing better,

my father said every family would install
a telephone in their house in the future.

(Work hard and strive for success)
Besides, it will be easier to contact me

if I study abroad.

Do you know how expensive it is
to make an international call?

I do.

You should call me then. I don't need to pay
when I answer the call.

Just you wish. You can ask
your Uncle Qing Hua to call you.

What is this?

(Changcheng Farm Machinery, hiring summer interns)
Changcheng Farm Machinery is hiring interns.

We can register for it with just our ID cards?

But I don't feel like working yet.

I do want to give it a try. What about you?

I wish to give it a try as well.

The most important cause for our loss of profit

is our rival companies.

And our most direct rivals

are our neighbor, Jefferson.

The functions of their 486 microprocessor

are as good as Conpo's microprocessor.

The main thing is

that they've utilized

an advanced distribution model.

I know how it works with distributors

and agents.

All of them are unruly thugs.

If we interact with them, we'll be in trouble.

I could go as far as to say

that we're quenching our thirst with poison.

To me, I think it's the direct opposite.

You see,

computers will be popularized

sooner or later.

And I don't think it'll take long.

I'm sure that not too long after this,
our sales method

will hinder our sales volume.

On the other hand,

if we utilize

an advanced distribution model,

it's possible

that we might achieve over 10,000 sales
in one year.

Tan,

a computer costs more than 20,000 yuan.

Do you think everyone will be able to afford it?

My wage is 496 yuan per month.

How could such an advanced machinery

be popularized?

Isn't it just your wishful thinking?

How about this?

Since everyone is here today,

let's

open our hearts and tell everyone
about our thoughts.

Let's discuss the pros and cons
of the distribution model.

- What do you think?
- Sure.

Tell us your opinions.

All of you need to speak.

I'll start first.

I disagree with the distribution model.

Because secondary and tertiary distributors
will suck us of our profit.

When it comes to us,

we barely have any profit left.

But we can cover it by selling
huge quantities at low prices.

Once our sales volume increases,
our profit will increase as well.

In the end, we still need to focus on our profit.

I'm not trying to throw a wet blanket at you,

but it's extremely difficult
to manage the distributors.

They will take the goods from you

and they'll be mean to you.

It's like they're your bosses.

Will you be happy about that?

I don't think Xu Yang's statement
is completely true.

If we can make a name for ourselves

by hiring distributors

and make it so that their demands
are more than our supply,

by then, they'll be bosses,

but we'll be the bosses of the bosses.

We'll be their ancestors.

Pei, what do you think?

I don't have any opinions yet.

I wish to listen to your opinions.

Is there anyone else who would like
to express their opinion?

You see,

I think I ate too much spicy food last night.

I need to use the toilet now.

I'll be back soon.

Since that's the case,

I do have something to say.

I'll express my opinion now.

My goodness.

Why are you only here by now?

Listen, I was in a meeting.

I left without telling them.

So what's the matter?

I came up with a great idea last night.

I know how to get you 100 ID cards.

Really?

What idea?

I can't just tell you for free.

Treat me to a meal and I'll tell you.

Fine, I'll treat you to a meal.

- I want Sichuan cuisine.
- All right.

Let me think about it.

Do I need to ask another person

to accompany you?

You're smart indeed.

Fine, see you at the Sichuan cuisine shop

in front of my company after work.

See you later.

You better don't come up with any stupid ideas.

I'll go and attend my meeting now.

Don't worry about it.

All right. See you.

Recruit our previous rivals?

Yes, recruit our previous rivals.

After Batong was shut down,

Jefferson got their hands on their
channels of distribution.

According to the current market,

mature channels of distribution such as theirs

are getting rarer and rarer.

So, my idea is

to headhunt the middlemen

and recruit them for our company.

We can use them as our agents.

Did you guys hear that?

Tan is planning to offer amnesty to the rebels.

Are you guys trying to be Li Kui?
[*a violent and ill-temper fictional character]

Or are you guys trying to be Lin Chong?
[*a respectful fictional character]

How about this?

I hate

to rule by the voice of one man alone.

I will support

the ideas

that will help develop our company.

Tan, how about this?

Let's do a vote.

Those who are willing to accept
our rivals as our business partners,

raise your hands.

I know nothing about sales.

I don't have the right to speak. I forfeit my vote.

It's a draw then.

Sorry about that.

Sorry for being late.

How was it? Where are we right now?

If you agree to use the distribution model

and hire our rivals as our agents, raise your hand.

If you disagree, don't raise your hand.

All right. I agree with Director Tan's decision.

I will vote for his proposal.

Xiao Chuang, are you sure you're not doing this
out of favoritism?

This is an important vote for the company,

yet, you voted for him
without listening to our proposals?

I won't vote then. I forfeit my vote.

I forfeit my vote.

That means it's still a draw.

All right, since it's a draw,

I suggest both sides

to come up

with an evaluation report once we return.

Let's back our statements up with evidence.

We can study and make the final decision
during our next meeting.

All right.

We should do it so that you guys

won't say that I'm acting arbitrarily.

Meeting dismissed.

Look at you guys.

You guys are taking his words too literally.

I know Mr. Lin said he doesn't like to rule by
the voice of one man alone.

But you guys actually tried to vote?

He just wanted to test you guys

and see how many of you are siding with him.

This is great. He can see everything now.

I'm just thinking from the company's perspective.

I'll support the person who comes up
with the best proposal.

I'm not as rash as you.

I do admit that I was rash. I forgot
to analyze the pros and cons.

I voted for Mr. Tan without thinking

and I even offended Mr. Lin too.

Since you've voted for Tan,

you should support him until the end.

How am I supposed to do that?

If I support Mr. Tan, that means I'll be harming him.

And with Lin Yi Min's temper,

do you think he'll admit his defeat?

You do have a point.

I thought you had a stomachache?

Why are you eating spicy food?

I'm fighting poison with poison.

Sorry. Am I late?

Not at all. Have a seat.

Why are you here?

Do you have any business with us?

No. Can't I join you guys without any reason?

Of course you can't join us without any reason.

Why are you looking for Qing Hua
without any reason?

You're a girl. Your behavior is inappropriate.

Aren't you afraid that your father
might see you here?

(Locker)

Why should she be afraid? She did nothing wrong.

Only a sneaky person like you

needs to worry about that.

Director Tan.

Dad?

She did nothing wrong, huh?

Don't laugh. I'm not afraid of him.

Not only will I look for Pei Qing Hua today,

I'll look for him every day in the future.

Let's forget about the fact that
Tan is an open-minded person.

Even if he's not, I'm not afraid of him.

Foreign people call their parents
by their names.

Although our family didn't receive
Western education,

I'm not

a close-minded person.

Stop talking about decency in front of me.

Now, I'm taking a hands-off approach.

- Tan?
- It's all thanks to Lin and Tan.

You can continue with your act.

I'm sure my father is cooking at home.

- He won't come here.
- Junior.

Junior.

Director Tan.

I won't fall for your trick.

Dad?

Why are you here?

You're a lousy father.

What's wrong with me?

I wanted to have a meal with you initially.

But I couldn't find you at all.

Look at you. You're here,
enjoying a meal with your friends.

Come here.

What are you saying?

Can't you make yourself some food

when I'm not around?

I don't know how to cook.

If I didn't meet Brother Xiao and Qing Hua,

I would've starved to death.

Fine. How about this?

Later, you can order extra dishes.

Don't let them foot the bill,

do you hear me?

That's more like it.

All right, you guys may continue.

Director Tan, I have something to tell you.

What is it?

Regarding the proposal you mentioned
during the meeting,

I've been thinking about it.

I think you're right.

I think we should come up
with a distribution system

and let everyone have a chance to use computers.

How about this?

You should tell the president

about your opinion.

Come on.

(No. 8, Hujing Road)

Take care.

President, has your superior left?

That's right.

Hello, President.

I wish to tell you something.

I know why you're here.

Lin told me everything in the morning.

I do agree with him.

You see, Huayan was just established not long ago.

Now, you're trying to swallow an entire elephant.

Will you be able to digest it?

That's why

hiring and developing agents

is an imperative move.

If we don't make this move,

Huayan will face imminent danger.

What do you think?

President, although the pros
of utilizing a distribution model

might not be clear to you right now,

it'll get better in the future.

All right then.

You should write an evaluation report first.

I'll say the same thing again.

Since we've taken this path,

I will support the people

who can bring benefits to Huayan.

Sure. I'm relieved to hear that.

Thank you, President.

Hurry and tell me

about the idea you came up with.

Changcheng came to our university

to hire interns for their summer program.

Plenty of people are queuing up for it

with their ID cards in hand.

So if Huayan

can come up with something similar,

getting 100 ID cards

is a piece of cake for you.

This is a great idea.

But Huayan has no intention
of hiring interns right now.

You don't need to come up with a proper proposal.

Just use a random chop
and come up with something.

Just do it for show.

No one is willing to do their internship
during the summer.

They need to do it to pass the university's course.

Each takes what he needs, understood?

By the way, don't tell Pei Qing Hua about this.

But why?

I'm sure he won't agree to this.

I won't agree to this as well.

You're telling me to be a conman.

And where can I get a chop?

This won't work.

That's the only idea I have.

Please don't do this. I'm treating you to a meal.

I even asked him to come.
But look at what you're doing.

I heard

that your mother doesn't know that
you involve in business now.

How did you know?

Tan Yuan spent her Lunar New Year
together with you guys.

She told me about it.

That's right. My mother is an old-fashioned person.

She's stubborn.

Even now, I haven't got the chance
to explain myself to her.

I don't know how to explain myself to her as well.

Listen,

this is a huge matter.

You shouldn't hide it from her
and you mustn't lie to her.

You need to do your best
to obtain her understanding.

I've been worrying about this matter.

If you can't bring yourself to tell her,

I'll write a letter to your mother.

Thank you, Director.

But I think I'll try to come up
with a solution first.

Come up with another idea for me.

How about this?

I'll split half of the profit with you

from using the 100 ID cards.

Mate, I don't dare to do so.

Even if you want to split the profit with me,
I don't dare to take it.

What were you two talking about?

Well...

I think Ge You is the fifth Heavenly King.

I don't think so. Junior, what do you think?

I think it should be Liang Tian.

The dishes are getting cold. You should eat up.

- Here.
- I can do it myself.

Thanks.

Tan Yuan, what was that again?

The thing you wrote, remember?

Something about the invitation.

What did she write?

It's that...

What's wrong?

This dish is too spicy for me.

How about this? Give me a second.

I'll get you a cup of water.

Waiter.

If you spout nonsense again, I'll...

I'm just trying to help you out.
