Everyone, let's do it

one more time.

Do you know why?

Lin Xiao Yu,

how many times do I have to tell you

to smile more?

We're going to perform on stage soon.

You too, Liu Qian.

Why are you always half a beat slower?

You already bumped into them.

I don't want to practice anymore.

The graduate students of the last term had danced to this song.

What's the point of rehearsing again?

Don't speak out of spite.

Let's rehearse now.

I want to dance to Rivers of Babylon.

All of you want to dance to it, right?

Yes, we do!

We're going to perform next week,

so stop thinking too much.

We should just rehearse this song.

I really can't do it.

All right, let's rehearse one more time, okay?

(Adapted from the novel, Our Times by Wang Qiang) Get back to position, okay?

Pay attention to music and rhythm.

Stand in position. Man Lin, move forward.

Whose towel is this?

Mine, I never used it. Just take it.

Your towel is already worn out.

About that incident,

thanks.

It's no big deal.

But I still need to say something.

You're too stubborn.

You're clearly skilled

and open up a sales channel this time.

Your business trip to Guangzhou

is beautifully done this time.

Given some time,

you'll definitely be our team's top salesman.

Why do you have to feel guilty?

Why don't you think about it?

Do you know?

Whenever I close my eyes,

I can see the image of the solder oil dropping on the circuit board.

As it sizzles, a wisp of white smoke curls in the air,

circling around.

It smells pretty good.

But now,

it is the smell of beer when I burp.

I really hate this smell.

Just drink less next time.

Junior,

the cassette you bought is still with me.

What cassette?

It's

Rivers of Babylon.

Babylon?

(GOLDEN DISC, Worldwide Attention)

(Rivers of Babylon)

I almost forgot.

I must send this to her tomorrow afternoon.

(School of Electronics and Information)

Excuse me,

could you please call Tan Yuan of Information Technology?

Isn't that Tan Yuan over there?

Thanks.

Get some people to move this mirror

and this table away.

Move them to the back.

Make way, please.

- Excuse me. - Hurry up.

Yes, put it over there.

Be careful.

Excuse me.

Tan Yuan.

(Lounge Room)

What are you doing here?

I came to send you this.

This is the one. You really bought it?

We have the cassette!

What cassette?

Rivers of Babylon.

- Really? - Heavens!

Are we going to switch the songs then?

What should we do? Should we switch them?

All right, we'll change the song.

That's great!

But we still need to be quick.

We're the third group to perform.

Hurry up.

Then I'll go to the Arts Department

to change the accompaniment now.

Okay, go quickly!

Send this too.

Okay.

It's your fault!

We've been waiting for you

and almost didn't get to dance to it.

I'm really sorry.

I hope you'll have a successful performance.

So I won't be bothering you anymore.

Don't go.

Stay and watch our performance.

After all, you did contribute something.

Am I right?

- She's right. - That's right.

If you want to watch it, just stay.

I won't stop you.

Stop fooling around. It's going to start soon.

(Yanjing University) With my hands on the handles,

(The 6th Talent Contest on Campus) I drew my blades.

The blade on my left knocked the thief's iron bar.

While the blade in my right hand stroke him stunningly

and I heard a "plop".

Something bright red burst out and blood kept on flowing.

The head fell on the ground,

rolling away.

You killed the thief?

I slaughtered the cow.

So it's a cow.

Coming next is a dance performance by Class A of third-year students

of Information Technology.

The Rivers of Babylon.

Let's give them applause.

(Three plates for 10 yuan.)

(Three plates for 10 yuan.)

Why did you play the wrong cassette?

What's going on?

Three plates for 10 yuan! Three plates for 10 yuan!

I'm really sorry.

I didn't make things clear.

It's my fault.

(Love with sincerity)

It's so humiliating.

My boyfriend and his friends

were watching from the audience.

My parents are here too.

We end up being a laughingstock!

It's too shameful to go home!

I guess I won't be reviewed

as this term's outstanding student leader again.

Tan Yuan, you have to make it up to me.

The cassette must be from the trash, isn't it?

Why didn't you listen to it first?

- She's right. - Exactly.

You can't blame Tan Yuan.

She wasn't the one who bought the cassette.

Where's the guy who sent the cassette just now?

It must be that guy.

Tan Yuan, what's your relationship with him?

Does he have a grudge against you?

It's him! He's the one who sent the cassette!

I'm really sorry.

I got the wrong cassette.

I'm truly sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Pei Qing Hua, what exactly had happened?

Where did you get that cassette?

Did you do something to it?

I really didn't do it on purpose.

I also forgot how I bought the cassette.

Probably because I was drunk when I bought it.

Get out now!

Just looking at you upsets me.

Listen, this isn't over yet.

I'm sorry.

Get out!

(Dressing Room)

I'm really sorry.

I was careless.

Senior,

help me think of something.

How did I get the wrong cassette?

I don't know either.

Didn't you take it from the recorder?

But it's possible you took it by mistake

because you're very drunk that day.

Looks like it's really my fault then.

I was trying to be nice,

but I ended up causing them such huge trouble.

Have you heard? Something huge has happened.

Keep it down. You are not the only one who knows about it.

Hey, that's such a big country.

It collapsed just like that?

The newspaper has already explained it.

There's no need to be surprised about it.

(Gorbachev announced his resignation) I don't know

(as President of the Soviet Union) if it will have any impact on our production.

My grandfather talked about this all day yesterday.

The older generation seems to be afraid.

I'm sure they are.

Brother Xiao, what do you think about this?

It's not a big deal.

Life still goes on.

He is right.

- Director. - Director.

Director Tan.

We should just live our own lives.

Don't be scared. Just believe in your country.

Director,

is this Conpo's contract?

They have drawn up a contract and sent it over.

Come on over. Let's discuss

the specific details together.

If there's no problem,

they'll send

the official contract to us next month.

All right.

Director.

Who's the person in charge here?

I am, what's the matter?

We received a report from the public

that you're doing illegal business activities.

So we need to file a case for investigation.

Illegal?

Sir,

it's true that we sell computers,

but we never

break any rules and regulations.

There must be some kind of misunderstanding.

Do you still want to deny it?

Your research faculty went out to sell computers.

Whether this is against the law,

only you'll know.

It's you.

He's also involved! Sir,

he sold more than 50 computers.

He's also part of it.

Who else has a part in this?

Who else is involved in this?

Sir, this is...

Sir, how about this?

There's still no final verdict in this matter.

If it's just an investigation to collect evidence,

I think it's enough for me to go alone.

Director.

Enough.

All right, come with us then.

Wait...

Director.

Sir,

(Police) thank you for your hard work today.

Drive carefully!

There's nothing to see, so leave.

The one who tricked me in Guangzhou

was him.

(Bulletin Board) You two, please wait.

Let me formally introduce myself.

I'm Wang Chong.

(Wang Chong) Sales Manager of Batong Limited Company.

How can there be such a despicable person as you in this world?

Does everyone at Batong like taking cheap shots like you?

I haven't settled a score with you about last time.

How dare you plot against us now?

Please understand my situation.

We're all in the sales industry.

We all work for our bosses, am I right?

The business field is like a battlefield.

It's all about going at each other to survive.

Isn't that common?

If you're competent, come at us openly.

Don't play dirty tricks.

Do you call yourself a man?

Calm down, don't be angry.

I'm here to help you out.

This low-standard team

that your research faculty set up at the last minute

won't take you far in life.

How about this?

Come to work with me.

I value talented people like you two

and will definitely give you a better life.

Say that again.

Xiao Chuang.

I dare you to say that again.

Xiao Chuang.

Leave now.

Or else, we won't be nice.

All right then.

Keep the name card, okay?

Hello?

Hello, is this Lab 3?

Yes, it is.

Inform Tan Qi Zhang's family

to pack up some clothes and daily necessities.

He'll drop by to collect them tonight.

How's Director Tan doing right now?

Is the matter taken care of already?

Don't ask questions.

Why are you here?

Pack up some clothes for your dad.

He'll come back for them later.

What happened to my dad?

Why does he need his clothes?

It's better to wait for him to tell you

when he comes back later.

Wait here.

(Sanitation Building)

Are you still mad at me?

Maybe I was too drunk that day

and took the wrong cassette.

I'm really sorry.

Is there no one else at your lab?

Why did they let you come?

It's because I haven't left.

The day I bought the cassette, I really had too much drink.

I can swear.

I didn't know a decent looking guy like you

actually has a bad drinking habit.

You can get off now.

All right, thanks.

Director Tan.

Dad, what happened?

It's nothing. I'll be away for a meeting for a few days.

Pei, you're here too?

All right. Put this bag into the car first.

I'll have a word with him.

Go on now.

Put the bag in here.

Director Tan, are you all right?

I'm pretty good. How are things at the faculty?

Everyone is very worried about you.

Tell them

no matter what happens,

they must not lose focus.

We didn't do anything wrong.

So I believe

there will be a fair solution.

Also,

about your personal matters,

I hope you will reconsider.

Dad,

are you really okay?

Silly child, I'm okay. Trust me.

All right, I'll get going now.

Oh, for the time being,

take care of Tan Yuan for me.

Don't worry.

All right, I'm going now.

I don't need him to take care of me.

(Yanjing University, Department of Student Affairs. Director's Office)

For the retired teacher's

New Year tea party this time,

we must handle it seriously.

This program should not be too long.

Let me go through the list first.

President?

President.

What brings you here?

Have a seat here.

(Advanced Community)

You're dismissed now.

- Hello, President. - Hello.

See you, President.

See you, Mr. Lin.

Let me make you Big Red Robe tea.

My cousin brought this back from Mount Wuyi for me.

I'm not willing to share this with people in general.

That means I'm lucky to be able to taste it.

President, we're all colleagues here.

There must be a reason that you're here.

Just tell me what it is.

I'll be frank then.

The incident at Lab 3,

I'm sure you know about it.

You mean Tan Qi Zhang,

Director Tan?

Yes.

He was taken away.

So it's not that simple.

Now, Lab 3

has no person in charge.

It'll have a bad impact both internally and externally.

As for you,

in terms of administration work,

you've been performing really well.

The response from the school is positive too.

I was thinking

about transferring you to Lab 3.

President, you're overestimating me.

I've been Director of the Department of Student Affairs for years now.

I couldn't do it even if I wanted to.

It's not that I'm not willing to clean up this mess.

I'm just not willing

to clean Tan Qi Zhang's mess.

This mess

is not something I want to experience again.

I understand how you feel.

But you don't have to worry about one thing.

After you're transferred,

you'll be the director of the lab.

If you run into any trouble,

you still have me, right?

If he returns,

won't my effort be in vain?

You don't have to worry about this.

Even if he returns,

you'll remain as the director.

Lin,

as far as I know you,

you're an ambitious man.

Do you really want to stay at a department that makes no profit

until you retire?

Guess what?

Just get to the point.

When I was at the bicycle stand,

I saw Director Lin from the Department of Student Affairs

talking to President.

Director Lin?

Which Director Lin?

The one present in the company's meeting before...

Mr. Lin?

Making so much noise. Where are your manners?

Is this still a lab?

Let me make the introduction.

This is Director Lin Yi Min,

Director of our Department of Student Affairs.

From today on,

he'll be transferred to Lab 3

to replace Director Tan temporarily.

Director Lin was part

of the technical backbone of our faculty too.

I hope you'll support Director Lin

in your work in the future.

But I don't understand.

It's not that Director Tan is not coming back.

Is it necessary to arrange

a new director for us in such a hurry?

Outrageous.

Why are you always causing trouble, Xiao Chuang?

I think the behavioral correction should start with you!

President, it's okay.

It's normal for young people to be passionate and upright.

However, let me remind all of you

to be disciplined.

As to why Director Tan was taken away,

I'm sure you know better than I do.

So I want

to have a round of self-reflection.

About the computers you sold

some time ago,

I want you to write a detailed report

and submit it to me.

The most important thing is to reflect on the problem.

Understand?

Yes.

All right, Director Lin. I'll let you guys talk.

I have other matters to attend to.

All right.

President, goodbye.

President, see you.

I also heard

that there are still two comrades in the faculty

whose positions have yet been clarified.

About this matter,

I shall discuss this with President further.

We shall discuss this matter.

Mr. Lin.

Xu Yang.

I remember you're pretty conservative

when you're an undergraduate.

You've become bolder now.

Don't you know the risk of being in business?

To be honest, Mr. Lin,

I'm pretty hesitant.

But the central government has issued the policies

to carry out economic system reform

and develop the private sectors.

I think I should keep up with the policy.

It's great to have the courage to think and act.

I'm glad you understand this.

But the reformation

is not that simple.

How it'll change in the future

is something we have to think about in the long run.

You're right.

Today, I noticed

that the faculty lacks discipline.

I know they won't write the report seriously.

Can you monitor them for me?

Of course.

All right. If you have time,

come to me at my office.

We can have a nice chat.

All right, Mr. Lin.

Okay.

(Yanjing University IT Faculty)

Xiao Chuang, things are getting stricter now.

Director Lin told us to write a self-reflection,

which is not a bad thing.

Just work on it seriously.

Save your breath.

Director Lin isn't my teacher.

I'll not flatter him.

I'm doing this for everyone's sake too.

I just heard that Mr. Jin of the company next door

was sentenced to life imprisonment for smuggling.

Do you think Mr. Tan will be convicted?

Director Tan didn't break the law at all.

Stop exaggerating from some gossips you hear.

He'll definitely come back safely.

How do we know that?

Why don't we find someone

to make some inquiries?

What did you say?

My dad will be convicted?

Tan Yuan, what are you doing here?

Did you just say

that my dad will be convicted?

No, that's not what he meant.

Calm down first.

Where is he now? Is he at the police station?

Is he at the police station?

Tan Yuan!

Is that Director Tan's daughter?

You and your big mouth.

Tan Yuan!

(IT Research Faculty)

Tan Yuan!

- Tan Yuan! - What do you want?

Don't behave impulsively.

You can't solve it even if you go.

Don't you worry when you haven't heard from him for so many days?

I am worried too, but rest assured.

Director Tan never broke any law,

so don't be scared. He'll definitely be fine.

Tan Yuan, you have to be strong

and take good care of yourself.

Don't cause trouble for your dad.

You can stop following me now. I'm already home.

Then...

Then, I'll go home first.

You... Wait.

The gas cylinder is out of gas

and the gas company is closed now.

Do you have hot water?

I think there's half a flask left.

That's enough.

Wait a minute.

It won't explode, right?

Do you have anything to eat at home?

You better not think that you can buy me off

with a bowl of Paomo. [*a specialty of Shaanxi cuisine]

The previous matter isn't over yet.

I know.

I promised Director Tan I'd look after you.

This isn't a big deal.

I'll come back tomorrow to change your gas cylinder.

I'll leave now.

Why are you here?

To bump into you.

I heard you like coming here during your free time,

so I just want to come over to talk to you.

I have nothing to say to you.

It's about what I told you the other day.

Have you considered it?

About what?

Work at Batong, of course. Did you think I was joking?

I really think you're a talented person.

A small pool like your research faculty

won't be able to satisfy a big fish like you.

Batong is a formal private enterprise.

If you come and work with me,

I'll make it worth your while.

I knew you had a bad intention.

I'll just be frank.

Just give up.

The wages you guys received from your faculty

are only enough for you to watch videos here.

I have already bought a video recorder.

The owner's video recorders here

are all brought in by me.

As for your "pool",

it can only rear villains like you.

All done. Call me if you need anything.

Have you heard from my dad?

Not yet. If I do,

I'll tell you immediately.

Do you need me to cook dinner for you?

I'll have dinner at my classmate's place.

All right then. I'll go back now.

Anything else?

Well,

thank you.

It's okay.

Didn't I cause you a huge problem that time?

For the sake of the Paomo and the gas cylinder,

we're even now.

Thanks.

Wang Chong came to see me yesterday.

What did you say?

I said Wang Chong came to see me yesterday.

Did he cause you any trouble?

Can he? He's trying to scout me.

He can just forget about it.

Do you know what Lin Yi Min's background is?

Isn't he the director of the Department of Student Affairs?

He is the director of the Department of Student Affairs,

but he used to work together with Mr. Tan a long time ago.

We already know

that Mr. Lin was the technical backbone of our faculty before,

but not anymore.

There are things you still don't know.

He and Mr. Tan used to be in charge of the same project.

Mr. Tan was the leader while Mr. Lin was the assistant.

Later, something went wrong because of Mr. Tan's decision,

and they both faced disciplinary actions.

Mr. Tan came back to the faculty and became the acting director

while Mr. Lin was implicated and given a different position.

I had no idea they go way back.

I was wondering

why Mr. Lin kept on targeting us the moment he came.

He's making this personal.

Don't think of it that way just yet.

Maybe he's trying to be responsible for his job.

Well, I think if he really takes office this time,

it'll be bad news for both of us.

Director.

(Development is the absolute principle)

Xiao Chuang,

read your report to everyone.

All right.

"Self-reflection Report".

According to the instructions of the superior and the spirit of the organization,

the Yanjing University IT Faculty conducted self-correction and self-inspection

on the sales of U.S. Conpo Computer.

Below is the result of the report:

November 27, 1991.

It was a clear

and pleasant day.

According to the deployment of Comrade Tan Qi Zhang,

Director of the faculty,

I, Xiao Chuang, a member of the faculty

and the Conpo Computer

East China Regional Manager

had embarked on the journey to Shanghai.

This was because I knew the future was bright

and the dream was great.

So no matter how tortuous the road was, it couldn't stop me

from moving forward.

Enough!

Qi Rong Bin,

what's wrong with his report?

Well...

Xu Yang, you say.

This doesn't sound like a report,

but like a composition written in high school.

Pei Qing Hua, what do you think?

I think

it's pretty decent.

The number of words may be a little less.

I told you to write a self-reflection report.

Is this how you write it?

What can we investigate from this?

Isn't this the jeep from the police station?

Is Director Tan back?

Hello.

Hello.

Are they ready?

Yes, they are.

- This way, please. - This time,

we're just going to ask some questions.

All right.

The investigators from the police station are here.

We'll put aside the reports for now.

Those who are involved in computer sales,

get ready.

They'll ask you questions later.

All right.

Hello, Sir.

Now, we'll investigate some situations

during the sales of your computer.

I hope you will cooperate and answer truthfully.

About this receipt from the sauna,

why do you go to the sauna for a business meeting?

These are the expenses of the business meeting,

which are included in the Entertainment Fee.

Article 3, Paragraph 7 of the regulations of the faculty.

The details of reimbursement

must be submitted on time.

I'm doing it according to the regulation.

It's not stipulated that we're not allowed to pay for the client's sauna visit.

I heard you're hit in the northeast.

Tell me what happened.

Officer,

me getting beaten is not related to sales violations.

I've never done anything I shouldn't do.

How did you lose your computer?

I don't know what happened either.

When I got on the train, the computer was already gone.

I didn't even get to sell it.

How do you market the computers?

I went door to door.

I was never trained

or have any special techniques.

Sir, please believe me.

The hotel you stayed in had exceeded the budget.

Who told you to stay in such an expensive place?

I just arrived Shanghai,

so I need to show them our capabilities.

You see, no one would do business with a poor man.

Would you? Well, I won't.

For the last batch of computers you ordered,

did you use any kind of tricks?

Is it related to Tan Qi Zhang?

It's related to the Chinese language card.

However, we developed the Chinese language card ourselves.

Article 5, Paragraph 2 of the regulations of the faculty.

The difference between self-developed trial products

and the existing product has been stated.

We only give them out as gifts and don't make profits from them.

This is not considered a violation, right?

Did you promise a rebate to the dealer agents?

Absolutely not.

I have all their contacts.

You can ask them.

In such a large amount of reimbursement,

is there any false claim

to obtain funds?

Did Tan Qi Zhang instruct you to do it?

I spent all this

with my own money.

If the higher-ups made no reimbursement,

how is this related to Mr. Tan?

What's your last name?

Wang.

If there's a single cent

embezzled by Director Tan,

I'll change my last name to Wang. I'll be Wang Chuang.

Bro, why are you so happy?

Don't you think it has become serious?

They asked so many specific questions.

This means they don't have enough evidence.

Don't worry, Mr. Tan will be fine.

When you say that,

it does feel that way.

Director Tan is far-sighted.

He'd never make the first wrong step.

I think he already expects this will happen.

It's here!

It's a package from the United States.

Is it the contract from Conpo?

It really is the contract from Conpo.

But it stated

that we must send back the signed contract within a week.

Director Tan is not here. What should we do?

If you ask me, we'll just sign it.

Nobody will know.

We can't do that.

We don't have the seal.

Why don't you guys go back first? I'll go and see him.

I'll go with you.

I can't sign this.

(Concerted efforts. Open up to create excellence)

We're not asking you to sign it today. Just take a look at it first.

Director Lin,

this is a good opportunity

that our lab has managed to obtain.

If you don't sign it, our effort will be in vain.

Good opportunity?

Then why hasn't Director Tan come back yet?

Moreover,

both of you are in the wrong.

Who are you to tell me about this?

Director Lin, Director Tan has promised us

that as long as we sign with Conpo,

we can return to the faculty.

All you talk about is Director Tan.

That's easy, just wait for him to come back then.

To be honest,

Lab 3

has already caught the attention of our superiors.

While we're still in the middle of this mess,

this matter should be postponed.

You...

I just decided. It was just a few moments ago.

I'm letting you all have an early holiday.

We'll put everything aside before the New Year.

Director Lin, we'll take our leave. Carry on with your work.

Will this do, Brother Xiao?

We're doing this behind the superior's back.

Just make the call, there's nothing to be scared of.

Someone needs to take charge if he doesn't.

I'll take full responsibility if anything happens.

We should face it together.

I'll make the call.

Hello?

Hello,

we're calling from Yanjing University IT Faculty.

May I talk

to the head of Conpo's office in China?

Is this about the contract?

You can just talk to me.

It's like this. We have already received

your contract,

but it's already the end of the year.

Our company is closing earlier for the holidays and the seal will be stored.

We might not have enough time to sign it.

I see.

Would it be okay if I have it signed after the New Year

and send it to you?

I'll have to talk to my superior about this.

Sir, you're also a Chinese

and obviously a nice person.

You know how New Year is like.

Can you please help talk to them?

It's a national matter.

I guess it shouldn't be a problem.

The higher-ups think highly

of your faculty.

Just wait for my news.

All right, Sir.

Let me wish you a happy New Year in advance.

Junior,

have you bought your ticket back?

Not yet, hard seat tickets are sold out.

I'll go and ask again tomorrow morning.

Why are you buying the hard seat? Get the berth.

Are you going to sit for more than ten hours on your journey back home?

I can't afford to get a berth.

We haven't received

our reimbursement yet.

Why don't we just listen to Director Lin,

study hard and build a good relationship with him?

At least, we'll receive our reimbursement

instead of having no money for the New Year.

Pei Qing Hua,

you still have a chance to go back to do your research.

It's good news for you.

I think whatever it is,

we should talk about this after Director Tan comes back.

Mr. Tan is kind to us.

We must not betray him.

Brother,

luckily I have these.

(Shanghai Stock Subscription Certificate)

Where did you get this?

Careful with this.

This is Shanghai Stock Subscription Certificate.

I bought it from Ditan Park.

The value increases every day.

After I sell them, I'll have money for the New Year.

Yi Wan, tell me if you need money.

I don't need your help.

Junior,

tell me if you have problems.

I can still manage.

Hello, mom?

Qing Hua,

have you bought your train ticket home?

Not yet.

Is it hard to buy during the New Year?

Yes, it's pretty hard.

It's okay. I'll check at the train station again tomorrow.

Then, you don't have to buy it anymore.

Didn't you say you want me to go to Beijing?

I'll visit you for the New Year.

(Happiness)

Don't worry, I won't trouble you.

I just want to check out your office and dorm,

and come home after that.

All right, my one minute is almost up.

I'll hang up for now. I'll call you after I buy my train ticket.
