Did you just finish playing basketball?

Xie Hang.

I need to tell you something.

Why don't you let me tell you mine first?

I've been officially transferred to the Financial Department today.

The foreign enterprise has two sets of accounting standards.

There are so many things to learn.

That's great.

That's great.

Congratulations that you can now improve your expertise.

Today, we...

We must celebrate it today.

They say good things don't keep coming.

But good news

has been coming one after another.

Let's not celebrate it all the time.

We should enjoy life every chance we get.

I finally understood now.

Life

is pretty hard.

If we can't celebrate

when we're happy,

how hard it must be

when we're sad.

What did you want to tell me just now?

Nothing.

Come on, let's celebrate it.

All right.

Come.

We've been dating for quite some time.

We didn't even have a photo together.

Yes, I think this kind of celebration

is more meaningful than eating out and shopping.

Are you taking a wedding photo?

No, not yet.

When you're going to take your wedding photos,

don't forget to come here.

I have great skills.

I'm sure you'll be satisfied.

Take a step forward. Right here.

Young Man, lean over a bit.

Closer.

All right.

Smile.

You've found such a beautiful girlfriend.

You must be happy from the bottom of your heart.

Three, two, one.

One more.

Three, two, one.

Pei Qing Hua.

The quarterly report came out.

Mr. Tan wants everyone to do the statistical analysis

for tomorrow's meeting.

All right.

Do you know where's Brother Xiao?

He must have gone out to take care of something.

Just leave it on his desk.

I'll let him know.

All right.

This is the quarterly report.

It's for tomorrow's meeting.

Thank you.

Hello?

Senior.

Junior?

Why didn't you come to work again?

Are you out on business?

Yes.

I'm outside.

Last quarter's report is out.

Come back to do the statistical analysis

if you have time.

We have a meeting tomorrow.

Director Tan wants our report.

All right.

I know what to do.

Well...

There's nothing to report from the Northeast.

Well,

if there's nothing else. I'll hang up.

When are you coming back then?

(A Better Tomorrow) It's already noon.

You've been here for days.

Aren't you going to work?

Work?

I already quit.

How much did you say

is the capital to set up a VHS hall

like this again?

The rental

and these pieces of equipment

cost about 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.

Why?

Do you want to start one?

I do love watching movies.

But if you want me to watch the shop,

I can't stand for a day.

(Hall Two) I'm leaving.

I'll go somewhere else.

Why did you only come back now?

Where have you been all day?

I didn't go anywhere.

Just sleep.

Did you go out to have fun with Xie hang again?

You can date over the weekends.

Don't let it affect your work.

Today,

I didn't go out with her.

Let's talk tomorrow.

I'm exhausted.

(Huayan Technology Co., Ltd. Advanced Employee. Xiao Chuang)

(Marketing)

(Huayan Technology Co., Ltd) (You can tell me if you have problems.)

Qi,

what is Xiao Chuang doing recently?

I have no idea.

I haven't seen him for days.

Why are Li Dong and Luo Ying not here too?

They were sent to the office for an emergency.

All four interns were sent there.

Director.

Hello.

Director Tan.

(Led by Technology)

You're all here.

(Conpo Computer)

Let's begin.

About last quarter's sales,

(Quarterly Sales Report)

who goes first?

Director Tan,

Xiao Chuang is not feeling well today.

About Northeast sales,

I'll report on his behalf.

All right.

In this quarter,

the Northeast's enterprise distribution rate

is 2.5%.

Due to Baosong's huge order for its phase two project,

the sales have increased more than 20%

from the previous quarter.

We estimated

that our market share in the Northeast region

could reach about 15%.

If you have any instructions,

you can tell me.

I'll convey it to Xiao Chuang.

No need.

Next.

Then, I'll start with my report.

By the way, Director Tan.

There's something

I need to report to you.

Ms. Shu may have clarified for us,

but I think we should pay attention

to enterprise publicity.

If we run into such a problem again,

we won't be in a passive position.

It's a good idea.

But the current workload

in sales is heavy.

We'll discuss this next time.

(Keep clean-fingered and upright)

(Beijing to Guangzhou)

(Photo Studio. China's Time-honored Brand) Sir, do you still remember me?

I was the guy who took photos with a girl yesterday.

Yes, I do.

Didn't I tell you to collect in a few days?

I'm in a rush. Can you

develop the photos for me first?

We have to follow the order.

I can't let you cut in line.

They're all negative films.

Then, please give the negative films to me.

I'm leaving for a long journey.

I want to keep it as a remembrance.

All right.

(Photo Studio) The surname is Xiao. Am I right?

Yes.

Xiao Chuang.

(Discipline. Hygiene)

It's raining so heavily.

Why are you here?

I want to see you.

I wanted to talk to you, so I came.

Let's go inside.

It's okay.

Let's just talk here.

Don't worry.

A few days ago, I put many good words

about you in front of my parents.

My dad even said

to invite you to come over if you have time.

When you meet them,

just tell them

how outstanding you are in Huayan.

You can just tell the truth.

Don't worry. I'll be with you.

It's okay.

We'll just talk here.

By the way,

I bought all these for you.

I forgot to give them to you.

This hot water bag was supposed to be exported but is now sold locally.

It's particularly durable.

I have this parasol too.

When you go to work,

use this to cover yourself from the sun

and ultraviolet rays.

This cushion too.

Put it behind your back

when you're at work,

so your waist won't hurt when you sit.

This sesame paste too.

You must always have breakfast.

If you don't have time,

you can make this drink.

Xiao Chuang,

what's the matter?

I'm just worried about you.

You don't have to worry about me.

You always watch over me.

Even falling ill is difficult.

Xiao Chuang,

is something the matter?

Xie Hang,

I've decided to go to Guangzhou.

Did anything happen?

Nothing.

I just want to tell you

that I can't fulfill the promises

I made to you before.

Xiao Chuang,

this is the first time you're hiding something from me.

You know, right?

No matter what you want to do,

I'll always support you.

I'm sorry.

Xiao Chuang, what exactly had happened?

If I tell you

that we should break up,

will you still support me?

(Civilization)

What are you saying?

Your parents are right.

I'm not a reliable person.

If you say

you've made this decision

after careful consideration,

I'll support you.

But

you have to tell me the reason.

Why?

It's the best decision I can make.

Let's break up.

Let's break up.

I'm sorry.

(Conpo Computer. Deputy General Manager) Fill in the sales forecast for this quarter now.

You'll have to help

Brother Xiao fill it in.

I'm not going to help him anymore.

Let him fill it when he returns.

But I can't find him anywhere.

Me either.

Just leave it on his desk.

He can fill it in

when he comes back.

This forecast is urgent.

He's not even worried.

There's no use if we're worried.

(Vice General Manager) I was only...

Yi Wan,

give it to me.

You can help him this time.

But can you help him every time?

Pei Qing Hua.

Follow me.

I have something to tell you.

(Utility Room)

What's up with those two?

What's going on?

I have no idea.

Don't blame Xiao Chuang anymore.

He was fired.

What did you say?

(Selected Generation)

It was because of Conpo.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Isn't this your favorite parting?

You managed it

just like the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong, China.

How could you just cut it off?

Just cut it.

All right.

Hello?

Xiao Chuang.

Junior.

I...

I'm already on the train.

You should have told me earlier.

Stop right there.

The reason I wrote the letter

was that I was afraid you'd say something like this.

All right. Let's not talk about this.

If you need me,

I'll resign from Huayan right away

and find you.

Listen, Junior.

With you saying that,

I think I did... I did the right thing.

I had no choice.

But that's not what Xiao Chuang told me.

He said he did it,

and you were not involved.

Director Tan.

(The ocean is vast for it refuses no rivers) But I've already explained

that it's not the truth.

Things have already come to this.

It's pointless to talk about these anymore.

Xiao Chuang tendered his resignation.

The notice has already been posted.

Besides, Conpo has sent news

that they would no longer pursue this matter.

So just let it end here.

Director Tan,

is there no other way?

Xiao Chuang...

It was because of me that Xiao Chuang...

Listen to me.

Pei,

where there is life, there is hope.

Just stay and work hard here.

There may be a turning back.

All right. Director Tan.

I'll work harder than the rest

and contribute more.

When I realized it,

can I use it

in exchange for Xiao Chuang's return?

Then, have you ever considered

that he might not come back

if that day comes?

What are you going to do?

He can refuse to come back,

but I must fight for it.

After all, half of my position

belongs to him.

All right.

Then, let's pretend that he's here

and work hard together.

(Vice General Manager)

(Conpo Computer)

We've pleaded all afternoon,

but it was useless.

What do you think our superiors are thinking about?

Brother Xiao is the founding member and contributes the most.

They can fire anyone but him.

Stop tugging on me!

Am I wrong?

Let's stop discussing this.

I'm sure there was nothing Director Tan could do.

We must not forget Xiao Chuang.

We must never forget how important he was

in Huayan's achievement.

How is it?

This is my warehouse.

Stay here temporarily for a couple of days.

I'll get you a better place later.

This is a great haircut.

You look so energetic this way

and pleasant to the eyes.

Guangzhou is different from Beijing.

It's hot here.

I bought a fan for you.

Just stay here without any worries.

You can watch my shop while you are here.

All right, I'll make myself at home then.

We're too close to be courteous.

By the way,

why did you suddenly come to Guangzhou?

I've come around.

I've decided

to establish my own business.

You're doing the right thing.

Understand?

There's an old saying

about a dragon

or a dinosaur... I forgot.

"You can make progress given the opportunity".

We're not ordinary people.

This time, both of us should stay firm

on expanding the business

in selling second-hand computers.

If it's done properly,

it's even more profitable than selling new computers.

I can't get involved in computer sales anymore.

I've already promised Huayan

that I won't sell computers in this life.

You already quit.

Why do you care about that?

I can't take back my words.

Besides, I'll excel

in anything that I do.

You're a tough guy.

How about this? In a couple of days,

I'll introduce some friends

to you.

Sure. Thanks, Brother Lu.

No problem at all.

By the way, I just arrived.

I didn't have the time to change my mobile number.

Can I borrow yours to make a phone call?

Sure, it's no big deal.

Just make yourself at home here.

You're reliable as always.

No problem.

After he left,

you must feel the saddest.

The one who feels the saddest

should be him.

I knew it from the beginning.

Brother Xiao told me not to tell.

I hope you don't blame me.

Promise me one thing.

This desk

stays unoccupied.

Hello?

Junior, right?

It's me.

I've arrived in Guangzhou.

I'm at Lu's shop.

I'm calling to tell you I've arrived safely.

By the way, I've talked to Director Tan

about getting you back here.

I haven't succeeded,

but there's still a chance.

Junior,

I've already told you

not to meddle in this...

You did what you had to.

So I should do what I have to do.

All right, we'll talk when that happens.

About Xie Hang,

if there's anything

that I can do to help,

you have to tell me.

All right.

I'll tell you if I need anything.

That's all for now.

I'll hang up now.

(Dreams come true on the call)

(Report. Finance. Reimbursement. See the client on Monday. Interview)

(Mind the Step. Interflow)

Abby?

I'm fine.

I just want to be alone.

Did anyone bully you?

No,

everyone is nice to me.

If you keep

things bottled up,

it'll become a thorn in your flesh.

It'll always remind you of its existence through pain.

So

tell me what happened.

My boyfriend left.

He has left for Guangzhou.

Before he left,

he broke up with me.

Do you still remember what happened to me?

You were the one who helped me pull through.

How did you feel

at the time?

Sad.

Also, unreconciled.

I feel the same too.

I spent so many years

only to realize that my frustration

originated from my pride.

So I believe

that you need time to know yourself.

You can decide

to put everything down and move forward.

You can also

face all this again bravely.

Thank you.

I can only

give you comfort.

The one who can help you pull through

is yourself.

Tan, the reason I want to see you

is that I'd like to discuss something with you.

What is it?

The Marketing Department is in dire need of a person in charge.

We need to standardize the organizational structure

of the marketing team as soon as possible

to boost their enthusiasm.

As for the candidate,

I plan to choose from the veterans.

He must have good character and be capable.

What do you think?

Who do you think is suitable?

I'll be frank then.

I think Xu Yang is not bad.

He

is stable in his work,

and capable too.

If he becomes the sales manager,

we could set our minds at rest.

If sales performance

is an important criterion,

I think

Pei Qing Hua is more suitable for this position.

His sales volume is way far ahead

that no one can catch up with him.

Tan,

the position of a sales manager

is important.

We need to choose someone

who knows this inside-out.

Xu Yang used to work for you.

You should know his ability and character

better than I do.

Lin,

if I do as you say

and appoint Xu Yang,

wouldn't that be appointing people by favoritism

instead of giving the youngsters opportunities?

Wouldn't it hamper

their enthusiasms?

You're overthinking.

I have to guard against public criticism.

All right.

We'll discuss this matter next time.

Xiao Chuang just left.

We can't let this

affect the morale of the team.

Pei Qing Hua.

This report

does not tally with the distribution volume and the total number of regions.

Can you recheck

to see if there are any mistakes?

I'm sorry.

I'll take a look at it now.

This is no big deal.

Hello?

(Civilized Travel. Civilized City. Poker Cards)

Qing Hua, it's me.

I'm in Beijing.

Mom? You're in Beijing?

Why didn't you tell me?

Where are you now?

I'm at the phone booth next to Beijing Station.

I won't interfere with your work.

I know the way.

I'll head to your dorm now.

Mom,

stay there and don't go anywhere.

Wait for me to pick you up.

Don't ever go anywhere.

Beijing is huge. What if you got lost?

Wait there for me.

All right.

This is bad.

Qi, help me inform Director Tan

that my mom has arrived in Beijing, and I'm going to pick her up.

(Cigarettes. Poker Cards)

Mom!

Qing Hua!

(Observe Social Ethics) I miss you so much.

Mom,

why did you suddenly come to Beijing?

You didn't come home for such a long time.

(Magazine. Beverages) So I had to come and see you.

Let me take a look at you.

You've gained weight.

You look better than last year.

Even your lips are red.

It's not.

It looks like you're doing well in Beijing.

Mom,

you should have told me earlier.

I didn't arrange anything.

You don't have to prepare anything.

I didn't want you to waste money on me.

- Pei! - It's so nice.

Auntie, how do you do?

Man Huan Sheng?

(Public Phone)

Why are you here?

Director Tan especially instructed me.

He said you hadn't been home for a long time.

Now, Auntie is here.

He asked me to make a proper arrangement.

Who is this?

Mom, he's my colleague.

You can call me Man.

Man.

Then, get in the car first.

All right.

Director Tan also asked me

to reserve a hotel for you.

It's a luxury hotel.

The treatment is according to the highest standard of the company.

Company?

Mom, he meant our work unit.

Yes, our work unit.

(Newsstand) Mom, this is our work unit's vehicle.

I don't always get to ride in it too.

Xiao Pei is highly valued

by our superiors at our work unit.

Get in the car first.

I'll send you to the hotel.

- Well. - Let's go.

Just send me to the dorm.

I'm not used to staying at the hotel.

Just do as I say and go.

But...

Let's go.

I'm parched from the journey.

Mom, you took the train all the way here.

You must be hungry.

Let's go for a meal.

It's okay.

I had something on the train,

so I'm not hungry.

Where's Xiao Chuang?

Why is his bed empty?

He...

He's not in Beijing.

Where did he go?

He was sent to Guangzhou on an official trip.

Guangzhou.

Mom, I'm hungry.

Why don't we eat out?

You cheeky boy.

I was wondering

why you kept on talking about eating.

All right. Let me use the washroom first.

We'll leave after I'm done.

(Conpo Computer) Mom, it's at the corner on the ground floor.

I know.

Qing Hua, give me a towel

so I can wipe my face.

Look at you.

Why are you still so clumsy when you're all grown up?

Mom, let me pick it up.

When did you get this medal?

(Pei Qing Hua) Huayan Technology Co., Ltd. Advanced Salesman...

What...

What's the meaning of this?

What company?

What salesman?

I...

Are you no longer with the IT Faculty?

Say something.

(Conpo Computer. Sales Contract)

Mom.

It's a company our faculty set up.

So I tagged along.

To do business?

Mom.

It's not what you think.

It's not that, mom.

Don't get angry just yet.

Let me explain.

Mom!

What have I taught you?

Mom.

Our country encourages us to carry on trade.

Director Tan and everyone from Lab 3

are involved in doing business.

So I just...

I guess what I worried about had happened.

I was wondering why you

sent so much money to me every month.

So

it came from this?

I swore in front of your dad's grave

that I'd let our son walk on the right path.

Tell me...

Tell me...

What am I supposed to tell him?

Mom, let me explain.

I'm walking on the right path now.

It's supported by the country now.

Did I go through hardship

to support your education for so many years

so you could come...

So you could come to Beijing to pursue business?

Go. Let's go

and meet that Mr. Tan

and resign.

I want you to return to the faculty now!

Mom!

I've always listened to you,

but I can't leave now.

I'll put aside the rest.

Xiao Chuang was fired because of me.

I can't just leave like that.

I must stay and do well in the company.

I want to find a way to get him back.

At this time,

I can't resign.

Fine.

Mom.

Are you all right?

Mom, don't scare me.

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Help!

Mom!
