Lately, the stock subscription certificates

are being sold like crazy outside.

Really?

I wonder how much they make.

Won't the bank investigate this?

It is all written here.

What are they talking about?

It is crowded over there.

Don't you know?

The stock subscription certificates

are being sold like crazy outside.

They are considering

if they should

sell their stock subscription certificates.

They are also wondering

if there would be any problem.

I was wondering why they are gathering over there.

Let me know if there's any update.

I'll let you guys talk, I'll go for lunch.

Sure.

Let's continue.

Aren't you going for lunch?

I want to talk to you guys for a bit.

What did Xie Hang ask you?

She was just asking what we were talking about.

(Host: Yang Lan, Zhao Zhong Xiang, Ni Ping) Dear guests on-site and audience,

(Host: Yang Lan, Zhao Zhong Xiang, Ni Ping) happy Spring Festival.

(Adapted from the novel, Our Times by Wang Qiang)

=Episode 06=

(Subcutaneous Tissues)

=Our Times=

What's wrong?

Who did you call just now?

My mom.

She's coming to visit me this coming New Year.

Isn't that great?

I thought you had always wanted to bring her over here.

Is it about money?

Don't worry,

I can take care of these for you.

This is not the only problem.

Then what is?

Wait,

are you hiding something else from me?

No.

I just never told anyone about this.

So you do?

No, wait.

Junior,

I told you everything.

How could you hide things from me?

How about this?

Just tell me what it is.

I can still give you some ideas.

Bottling it all up

cannot solve anything.

(Year 1974, Winter)

Guo Liang...

Why are you doing this again?

Don't you know this is driving me crazy?

One last time.

It's really going to be the last time.

Qing Hua is growing.

He needs some meat.

If you're caught,

he won't have a father anymore.

Do you think there's meat for him? Stop it.

This is the last night.

They are going to leave tomorrow.

It will be fine.

Guo Liang.

Guo Liang, I beg you.

Just do your job as a teacher.

It is okay if our life is a little hard.

We must not keep these in the yard.

This is really going to be the last time.

No!

Get up.

Untie this rope.

What is going on?

He is the one!

Pei Guo Liang,

what are you doing?

What is this?

This... This is nothing.

Do not move!

You are reselling coal?

You again?

We all come from the same village. This is a misunderstanding.

- Hear me out. - How many times have you done this?

Catch him!

Don't!

Let's talk this out.

Don't run!

Guo Liang!

Catch him!

Guo Liang!

Trying to escape?

You better behave!

Tie him up!

Take him to the group!

(What happened to your father after that?)

(He was sent to amend himself on the farm.)

(He was overworked and ended up suffering from tuberculosis.)

(Memorial) (He passed away not long after that.)

Qing Hua,

I want you to repeat

every word that I am going to say.

I will study hard.

I will study hard.

I will keep myself on the rails my whole life.

I will keep myself on the rails my whole life.

I will never get involved in business.

I will never get involved in business.

Now, that figures.

No wonder you were so against

being a salesman.

So I am just afraid my mom will find out

when she comes.

I won't be able to explain it to her.

But times are different now.

Why don't you try to talk to her?

She might change her mind.

My mom is really stubborn.

She will never agree to it

even if she has to ask me to go back to farm,

When that time comes,

just keep it a secret from her.

All right,

I will definitely help you out.

By the way,

where is she going to stay when she is here?

Why don't we let her stay at Yi Wan's dorm for a few days?

Of course not.

It is not easy for your mom to visit.

We must prepare the best meal

and the best guesthouse for her.

All right.

You stay out of this, let me handle this.

You must not, Senior.

We do not have much money now.

We should get by with what we have in the Spring Festival.

Enough talking.

I will be mad if you keep this on.

It is decided then.

(Shanghai Stock Subscription Certificate)

If I knew the stock subscription certificate is so profitable,

I would have saved some.

How many are you selling this time?

I will sell five for now.

Wait, why are you keeping the rest?

Just sell them all.

No way.

It will go up in a few days.

I am not going to miss out on making a profit.

Excuse me.

Excuse me,

what is the current price for the stock subscription certificate?

You can sell it at 200 or 300 yuan at least.

Next stop, Ditan West Gate.

Those who are getting off at Ditan West Gate, please get ready.

We are here.

Let's go.

(Shanghai Stock Subscription Certificate)

Sir, wait a minute!

Please open the door.

I want to get off.

It really is crowded here.

(Beijing Station. Exit) It's really unbelievable.

Your mom is taking the train on New Year's eve.

She heard you booked an expensive guesthouse for her,

so she did not want to stay too long to save money.

It is okay, we have money.

Where did you get so much money?

Just do not ask.

Qing Hua!

Qing Hua!

Mom!

My son!

Auntie, let me carry your things.

- Let me help. - Give it to me.

Come, give them to me.

Mom.

I can finally see you.

Mom, are you tired?

Did you sleep on the train?

I am not tired, there is a seat.

Who is this?

Mom,

this is Xiao Chuang

whom I always mentioned.

Hello, Auntie.

Xiao Chuang.

Your visit to Beijing this time

was arranged by him.

Since you are visiting,

you have to celebrate the New Year without worries.

Let me take care of the arrangement.

I cannot let you do that.

It is okay, let's go.

Let's go, mom.

All right.

Just let me carry it.

Son, I missed you so much.

Auntie, make yourself at home.

This dorm looks great.

It is huge and clean.

Pei Qing Hua cleaned all day yesterday.

I told him to go to my house,

but he refused and insisted on coming back here.

I have never met anyone like him

who does not want to trouble others.

This dorm is good enough.

Why would we trouble you by going to your house?

Auntie,

I'm really glad to help.

I have long heard from Qing Hua

that you make the best dumplings.

Let's eat dumplings tonight.

All right then.

Mom, I brought you some hot water.

Put it down.

Xiao Chuang,

I brought some special local products.

Come and try it.

- You are too kind. - Give it to me.

Open it.

This is Daoxiang Village's pastry.

If you are hungry, eat some first.

I will brew some tea for you.

Do not make yourself busy.

Just look at him.

Mom, wait for me.

Senior,

why did you buy so many things?

Where did you get the money?

Just don't ask.

The money is not obtained illegally.

Just celebrate the New Year in peace.

No,

I must pay you back this money.

Stop being nosy.

I am going to get mad if you go on.

(Family prospers, people prosper, career prospers) Besides, your mom brought so many things.

We are even now.

What is it again?

Can you keep my mom company for a while?

Tan Yuan is celebrating alone at home.

I plan to send some things over to her.

Wait, why would you send things over?

Just bring her over.

I do not think it is proper.

What is improper about that?

The more, the merrier.

Just bring her over here quickly.

It is sad to celebrate the New Year alone.

Go on now.

- I will wait for you. - Take care of my mom.

All right.

Happy New Year.

Didn't you go back for the New Year?

My mom came to Beijing,

so I did not go back.

Are you eating these on New Year's eve?

I can just eat anything since I am alone.

My mom and Xiao Chuang are celebrating the New Year at my dorm.

We plan to invite you over for dinner.

But I have never met your mom.

Would that be proper?

It is okay.

My mom is easy to get along with.

Besides, Xiao Chuang will be there too.

All right.

I cannot just go empty-handed.

It is okay.

I will take my dad's liquor.

All right,

I will wait for you downstairs.

(Create a better Beijing) So that's what happened to your family.

Yeah,

so do not ever tell my mom

that I have sold computers before.

Don't worry, I won't tell.

Thank you for telling me these.

For what?

I just think this matter

is important to you,

so thank you for telling me.

Only you and Xiao Chuang know about this.

You must keep this secret for me.

That will depend on my mood.

We waited for you all day. You are finally here.

Fireworks!

Come on.

Is it pretty?

Yes, it is.

That is all.

It looked really pretty.

Mom, let me introduce you.

This is Director Tan's daughter, Tan Yuan.

Hello, Auntie.

Tan Yuan?

- How do you do? - Auntie, hello.

You are so beautiful.

Thank you, Auntie.

Xiao Chuang told me

that your father is not home.

How could he leave you alone on New Year?

I will make you dumplings later, okay?

Okay.

Qing Hua,

when did you start drinking liquor?

- Mom, this liquor... - Auntie,

that liquor is mine.

No,

I brought this liquor here

because nothing is prepared at home.

My dad likes to drink regularly,

so I brought one bottle of liquor here.

I hope you don't mind.

All right then.

It is the New Year anyway.

Let us have a drink then.

Let's have some.

Let's drink a little.

All right.

- Tan Yuan. - Okay.

Let's light the firecrackers.

Don't drink too much.

Mom, don't worry.

How can I not worry?

Let's go back to the room, it is cold out here.

I especially like watching Song Dan Dan.

Look how great she is at acting like an old lady.

Tan Yuan seems to be getting along with your mom.

They have not even stopped talking.

Careful.

Do you think her tooth

really fell out?

No,

she just sticks a black tape over her tooth,

so it looks like she has no tooth.

She sticks a black tape?

Right here.

I was wondering

why would she pull out her tooth.

That's right.

Junior,

your mom

seems to like Tan Yuan.

Stop talking nonsense.

There is no such thing.

Girl,

do you have a boyfriend?

Auntie,

I have not graduated from the university.

I never thought about it.

About this, I...

Dumplings are ready.

It's just cooked.

Dumplings.

- It's ready. - Girl,

listen to me.

You have to think about this early,

understand?

When I was your age,

I already have Qing Hua.

Mom, what are you talking about?

Nothing, I was just asking.

I don't mean anything else.

Before this,

Xiao Chuang told me

that Directer Tan

thinks highly of Qing Hua.

He said something

about making him as the...

Academic.

The academic leader.

Right, Qing Hua?

Auntie, you must have heard it wrongly.

It's not the academic leader.

They are

the sales leader.

These two are already involved in business.

What academics can there be?

- Mom! - Mom!

Mom?

I mean, Auntie...

What kind of stuffing is in this dumpling?

It tastes really good.

Junior.

Spanish mackerel.

Spanish mackerel stuffing?

It tastes so good.

I have never eaten such tasty dumplings all my life.

Here, mom.

Tan Yuan, eat up.

It must be your first time

eating Spanish mackerel dumplings, right?

Here you go.

Have some more dumplings.

Eat more, you have lost weight.

Eat more.

Well,

I have never eaten Spanish mackerel dumplings before.

Auntie...

Tan Yuan, this dumpling tastes really good.

You should eat more and talk less.

How could you say that to your superior's daughter?

How rude.

Yes,

you are rude.

Apologize to her.

I am sorry.

As long as you admit your mistake.

As long as you do.

If Qing Hua picks on us again,

we will ask you to seek justice for us.

Just come and find me.

Aunt, let's have a drink.

- All right. - Let's drink.

- Come. - Let's drink.

Happy New Year!

- Happy New Year! - Happy New Year.

Sir,

she gets carsick easily.

Could you please drive slowly later?

You can keep the change.

Thank you very much and Happy New Year.

Thank you.

What's wrong?

I should take the bus.

(For Rent) Auntie,

there's no bus running on New Year's eve.

Just take the taxi without worries.

You see...

Mom, you drank a lot.

Just take the ride so we won't worry.

It's not that.

Xiao Chuang, you spent too much.

It is no trouble at all.

Just get it and don't stand in the cold.

All right.

Mom,

why don't I just send you?

No need.

The round trip for the taxi ride

will cost a lot of money.

It's okay, I can go by myself.

All right.

See you again, Auntie.

Auntie, goodbye.

Girl,

if you want to eat dumplings again,

I'll make some for you.

Thank you, Auntie.

Mom, roll up the window.

- It's cold out here. - Just go back.

Sir, drive carefully.

Take care, mom!

(Midnight Snack, Barbecue)

Pei Qing Hua, I'm sorry.

I got confused from drinking just now.

I almost let out your secret.

Fortunately, I managed to cover it up for you.

Otherwise, we will be in huge trouble.

In any case, we should drink less next time.

Liquor

is really not a good thing.

But seriously,

your mom can really hold her drinks.

You got your drinking capacity from her.

Anyway,

thank you for inviting me to this New Year's celebration.

Otherwise, I may not have a chance

to wear this new sweater.

No need to thank us, we are all friends!

If you have a wish,

just make a wish to the fireworks.

It might come true this New Year.

I hope I can return to the faculty this New Year.

I hope

my dad can come back.

He will definitely come back.

He might be back later.

This wish doesn't count. Make another one.

Senior,

what about you?

What else do you think my wish is?

It's a New Year.

I'll continue following Mr. Tan

to get rich and move towards a well-off society.

Actually, the three of us

made the same wish.

As long as Director Tan returns,

our dreams will come true.

Let me tell you something.

There was a guy I knew back then.

His family's fireworks displayed

monkeys, toads. It's anything you can think of.

Director Tan?

Senior!

Director Tan!

Dad!

Director Tan!

Director Tan!

Slowly! Don't run!

You girl.

Hey.

Where do you think you're going?

Talk to Mr. Tan.

He's finally back.

Both of them are having a reunion.

Let's not bother them.

We can go to him later.

You're finally home.

I thought something happened to you.

What can happen to me?

I'm home now, am I not?

Director Tan!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, Mr. Tan!

Thank you!

Happy New Year!

Let's go.

What are the odds?

We just mentioned it and he really came back.

You drank liquor?

Forget it.

I don't have the house keys.

Let's go in.

Qing Hua.

You just started working and haven't made much money yet.

Why are you buying all these?

Mom,

Xiao Chuang is the one who bought all these.

Don't worry,

I will pay him back the money.

I am not able to go back home but it's the thought that counts.

These are for my nephew.

This is for my cousin and her husband.

This is for Fourth Uncle.

Don't forget, okay?

Qing Hua,

I know

you are a sensible boy.

Now, you are working in Beijing,

I am happy for you.

Mom,

what's wrong?

Didn't I promise

I will visit you when I have time?

You're right.

My son has found a great job.

Why am I crying?

All right, mom.

By the way,

you are living on your own now.

You must take good care of yourself, okay?

Only then will I feel relief.

I'll give you some more advice.

Go on.

As a person,

we must be honest and stay grounded.

Don't ever go astray.

(It's time for those who are here to send off passengers to leave.)

(The train will depart soon.)

(Those who send the passengers, please get off the train.)

(The train will depart soon.)

Mom.

- (Those who are here to send...) - I'll get going then.

(Time to get off the train.)

(It's time to get off the train.)

(The train will depart soon.)

All right.

Don't forget

to call me when you reach home.

Okay, I'll call you.

Go on now.

Bye.

(Year 1992, Spring)

Senior,

my mom just called me

and told me to thank you.

Enough already, stop thanking me.

I will be mad if you keep thanking me.

Let's go.

Brother Xiao, Brother Pei.

What's up?

I already found out.

About what?

The reason why Mr. Tan and Mr. Lin had a fall out

is Huayan No. 1.

Huayan No. 1?

Exactly.

Why does this name sound so familiar?

I remember now.

It is an independent research and development project of a computer mainframe.

I have read about it in a thesis before.

That's the one.

It's said Mr. Tan refused to listen to Mr. Lin at the time,

which caused an overload to our machine

and it ended up being discarded.

That's how they ended up in a feud.

From then on, our faculty

never study this kind of project anymore.

No wonder.

What do you think it's happening over there?

Let's go check it out.

(Notice Board)

Excuse me, make way, please.

Brother Xiao, come and see this.

"We should adhere to the direction and policies

of the 3rd Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee, CPC."

(Reform and opening up. Promote economy) "We should be bolder in reforming and opening up."

"Do not be timid and conservative."

"You must strive and charge bravely."

Did you see that?

It's telling us to be bolder in the pilot program.

Come here, Junior.

Where conditions permit, it should speed up as much as possible.

If we're talking about efficiency

and quality,

developing an export-oriented economy

won't be a problem at all.

This is encouraging us to do start business.

We no longer have to worry

about others saying we're involved in speculation.

I heard Director Tan is back.

And President said we'll establish a new company.

Why didn't you tell us earlier that he's back?

Let's go see him.

Make way for us.

Junior,

the policy has been set.

It's time to decide to stand with the team.

The team doesn't wait.

We should see Director Tan first.

All right, let's go and see him first.

Now,

the policy has been set.

You have also returned.

About the company formed by Lab 3,

just let it settled then.

With you and Mr. Lin, Lin Yi Min teaming up,

I'll feel assured.

I know you feel wronged

and it upsets you,

but you have to think

about the incident that you've been taken away.

It had caused a commotion.

We're now in the center of the mess.

So we have to lay low for now.

So you mean...

I intend

to let Lin Yi Min

be the general manager of the company

while you

take the position as the vice general manager.

Lin

has been the faculty's backbone.

In terms of management,

he's more experienced.

I just want to lessen your worries,

so you can work without any worries.

That's also for the sake of the company.

If there's any problem,

you still have me, right?

In terms of pay

and benefits,

it's exactly the same for the both of you.

If you have other requests,

just let me know.

I'll definitely agree to it.

Tan,

I know

you see the company

as your own child.

I feel the same too.

The company is also Lab 3's child too.

I've always believed

that you

are someone who sees the big picture.

All right, President.

You don't have to say more.

I'll fully comply with the organization's arrangement.

However, I have a request.

Tell me.

For the name of this new company,

I want to come up with name for it.

That's great.

I can't ask for more.

Not only its name,

you also can write an inscription too.

It's okay if we don't have an inscription.

Just name it Huayan.

"Huayan".

That's a great name.

Come in.

President.

Tan?

Tan.

You're finally back.

It's been years since we last met, right?

Yes.

How are you doing?

It must be hard on you.

During this time,

I've taken over your duties,

but don't blame me.

President arranged all this.

Why do you say that?

Thank you for your work during this time.

If I know you're coming,

I don't have to worry about anything.

Speaking of which,

the research faculty is my second home.

What is hard about going home?

You're not around for so long.

The financial affair

and the mess

need someone to take care of them, right?

So I stepped in

to help ease your burden.

I should thank you for that then.

The future development of our company

will be up to you then.

I mean

- Mr. Lin, our general manager. - You're too kind.

There are no ranks between us.

We should think of the future

and move forward together.

Let's forget

about the past.

Sure.

You're old classmates.

In the future,

you have the chance to talk.

Let's go

- and have a meeting first - You're right.

and announce it to everyone.

All right.

Lin,

the people of other departments

will move to the new building next week,

so this building will be yours.

- All right. - You'll be using this office too.

I'm so flattered.

President, this is great.

You have to make sure

to cooperate well.

It's time to do something great.

After you, President.

All right.

All right.

I want to announce two things in today's meeting.

First of all,

let's welcome Director Tan for returning.

Nice!

Okay.

Secondly,

from now on,

in order to make things convenient for your work,

Lab 3 will carry another trade name.

Huayan Technology Co., Ltd. is now officially established.

Your authorized positions

will still be at the faculty.

There's no need to worry about this.

The first thing to do after the establishment of the company

is to sign the distributorship contract

with Conpo Computer as soon as possible.

This matter

will be handled

by General Manager, Lin Yi Min.

Vice General Manager, Tan Qi Zhang will be assisting.

Welcome.

Today is a big day for the establishment of our company.

Let's take a group photo at the entrance.

Okay.

Come, let's go.

Come on now.

It's called Huayan.

This name is pretty interesting.

I never expect Director Lin to be the general manager.

Doesn't this mean...

This means

he took credit for our fruits of labor.

(Yanjing University IT Faculty) Come over here.

This is your spot.

No.

Please stand here.

Today

is a big day for Lab 3.

I'm not going to get involved.

Come, Xu.

- Give me the camera. - Let's take it together, President.

I'll take the photo for you.

Just press this one.

All right.

It's a matter of merits.

You contributed the most, stand here.

- Come on over here. - How could I?

No, I cannot.

Just come over here.

Stop being courteous already.

All right.

Okay, ready.

Ready, one, two, three.

(Yanjing University IT Faculty)

Director Tan,

are you looking for me?

It's like this.

I have already talked

to Director Song of Faculty 5.

After you go back,

you can report to him right away.

Thank you, Director.

But during our conversation,

he told me

that many projects there have stopped.

It is estimated that the subject of the embedded system

will not be available until half a year later.

This will take a long time.

Do you really want to wait?

Director Tan,

I still want to stay here.

That subject is important to me,

so I'm willing to wait.

Pei,

you're serious about work

and your technical ability is also very strong.

The key is you have that aggressiveness.

Well,

Huayan has just been set up

and it needs talents.

So there's something

I'd like to ask you.

Please ask.

Stay here

and help me out for half a year.

Just take it doing a favour for me.

Mr. Tan,

I continued working here

because you're here.

Since you have asked,

I'll stay here.

It's just half a year.

Great, I'm happy

that you say that.

It's a deal then.

Stay for half a year.

After that,

- you can leave anytime. - Junior!

Okay.

Director.

We have a game with Faculty of Biology today.

We'll be late if we don't go now.

- Hurry up. - The rest are already there.

This is Huayan's first ball game.

We must not lose.

Okay.

Director, I'll get going then.

Go on.

Your jersey.

(Lab 3)

Director,

why don't you come and watch the match?

We'll put that aside first.

If you lose,

I'll dock your bonus.

We won't lose!

Come on, Junior.

Help me push.

Listen, Junior.

There are two fatties from the Faculty of Biology,

so we must hang in there.

Defeat him.

(Yanjing University IT Faculty) Quickly now. Junior, move it over a little.

(Huayan Technology Co., Ltd) Okay.

(Celebrating the founding of Huayan Technology) It's the auspicious time now.

We're going to miss it in a minute.

It'll be too late if we miss it.

Can you even do it?

Hurry up, it's almost time.

Give it to me.

What's on your mind?

Nothing.

I'm used to seeing the original sign.

Suddenly, a new one is put up.

I'm just not used to it.

Time really flies.

It's just like a dream.

Let's not bring up the past.

I thought you were going out of town today.

When are you leaving?

I'll leave in a while.

By the way,

I'll leave the matters here to you.

Since those departments moved out,

this place has indeed become a lot more spacious.

From now on,

this will be our territory.

Yes.

I have something to say.

Everyone here

has been transferred to the Sales Department of Huayan.

Our next task

is to open up sales channels in various places.

Except

Pei Qing Hua, who will be on standby at the company.

The rest will follow Xu Yang's arrangement.

All right, let's get ready

to move out for your business trips within these two days.

Director Lin,

why am I the only one left here?

He's no longer the director.

We're now working at a company now.

We should address him as Mr. Lin, the general manager.

- He's right. - It's Mr. Lin.

He's right.

That's right.

Mr. Lin, I'm also part of the Sales Department.

I want to join my comrades

to go out making sales.

Okay, I know.

When you keep

calling me Mr. Lin,

it makes me feel awkward.

Just address me as Director Lin.

All right, Director Lin.

Director Lin.

Director Lin.

Xu Yang,

go and make the arrangements.

All right.

You, come with me.

(General Manager Office) I heard you don't want to work at Huayan

and insist on returning to the research faculty.

You should just stay back in Beijing

to answer calls.

This work pretty much matches your personality.

Director Lin,

I may have stayed to help at the last minute,

but I'm still part of the sales team after all.

Shouldn't I join them...

The job arrangements

are done according to everyone's characteristics.

There is absolutely no preference for one over the other.

This is what Tan and I have agreed upon.

That's all.

Let me explain Director Lin's arrangement.

As for me,

(The People's Republic of China) since there are a few clients in Hubei,

I'll still be in charge of Central China.

What about the northeast?

I heard

President has some connections

with Baosong Steel at the northeast.

Baosong needs a batch of mainframes for their phase one project.

The deal is almost done

with a substantial profit.

It's considered

a gift from Director Lin to us.

Mainframe?

We've never sold it before.

Our company distributes

all the models for Conpo Computer

and of course the mainframe.

So we must not take this lightly.

Baosong Steel

is a pilot unit for reform of the state-owned enterprise.

So we must grab this chance.

That means anyone who managed to get the deal from Baosong

will be this year's top sales then.

Xiao Chuang,

Director Lin wants to send you to the northeast.

I have not been behaving well.

Mr. Lin even made me write a self-reflection note.

He wants me to go there?

Will he feel assured?

Since you know you've been behaving badly,

you should take this work seriously this time.

You can reject this task.

I'll just inform Director Lin.

I can go,

but

that place is freezing cold.

Even my urine will freeze.

Some time ago,

we haven't received our reimbursement from the faculty.

I don't even have a thick coat.

Director Lin has informed the Financial Department.

They will release the payment to you today.

What about the rest?

They should have their payment too.

All right then.

I'll just go then.

Northeast.

Where will I be going?

Director Lin said you're full of youthful spirit.

He's sending you to East China.

What about me?

Let me have a drink first.

Brother,

since when Xu becomes a lapdog?

He's practically revering Mr. Lin.

He keeps on "Director Lin" this, "Director Lin" that.

He wasn't like this when he's under Mr. Tan.

He is his apprentice.

How can it be the same?

But

when it comes to currying up favor,

who's better than you?

You're the one addressing him as Mr. Lin, the general manager.

(Lab 3)

Brother,

you just received the payment yesterday

and you already bought your jacket?

Is it angora's fur?

Angora's fur?

It's a real mink coat.

Just look at its luster and feel.

Can you lend it to me for a couple of days?

Get lost.

Do you know?

Since Batong Limited Company lost to us,

they have completely collapsed.

Wang Chong took those people to Jefferson.

That darn Wang Chong.

No matter where he goes,

I'll ruin him if I see him.

Hey, come play with us.

Come on.

(China) After this round, I'll be heading to the northeast.

I don't know when we'll get together again.

Why don't you attack first?

Hey,

can you focus on playing?

We're just having fun here.

Do you need to be upset?

Fine,

if this is how you want to play,

I won't be polite then.

Enough already.

Bro, take it easy.

We'll pass the ball.

You should have passed the ball

to me after snatching that ball.

Why didn't you pass it to me when there is a space?

Wait, what's wrong...

You see,

you clearly don't have the ambition.

He gives you an easy job

and lets you stay in Beijing.

Isn't that good?

Director Tan said we're short-handed.

That's why I stayed back to help.

He helped me get back my authorized position.

I must do my best to repay him,

but why am I given those little things to do?

This is exactly the problem.

Think about it.

A new head is eager to do his job.

Mr. Lin is in charge of administration.

He's suddenly transferred here.

He definitely wants to establish his authority

to build his subordinates.

As for you,

Mr. Tan thinks highly of you.

You must be a thorn in his flesh.

He's definitely going to kill that spirit of yours.

The revolutionary cause is like a brick.

It'll be moved wherever it's needed.

If I knew there's nothing much I could do,

I might as well go back to the faculty and finish my project.

Don't worry, even if you're a brick,

you're a brick that is fire resistant.

One day,

you'll be taken for big use.

What kind of technique did you use just now?

Why did you score it like this?

It looked so weird.

If you're not happy, let's play again.

All right. Hey,

just vent all your anger

all over the court here

and you'll be okay after a big sweat.

Come on.

Let's go.

Come on.

Brother Xiao,

you have a call from a girl.

She wants you to return the call.

It's a call from Shanghai.

Her last name is Xie.

I've already jotted down the number for you.

Xie?

(Public Phone Local Number)

Hello?

Hello?

Xie Hang,

it's really you.

I have something important to ask you.

Do you still keep the stock subscription certificate I gave you?

I sold them already.

You sold them?

Yes.

I was having a hard time at the time,

so I sold them.

I didn't expect

that it is actually worth a lot of money.

(Dialogue box sales point Public Phone)

But...

If you want to take them back, it's okay.

When I have money,

I'll buy them back for you.

After all, I'm not someone who only cares about money...
