How is it?

They haven't made things difficult

since the money was returned to them, right?

Don't worry.

Everything is fine.

This

is our company's speech.

(Case File) Of course, it's not final.

There will still be changes.

(Confidential) The changes are substantial.

(Case File)

Excellent.

But the most important thing

is still the quotation.

You know that.

They are going to

start the tender.

When they find out

that I'm a competing bidder,

coupled with our relationship,

it would be

harder to

obtain information next time.

These

are the technical parameters

they intend for customers to include in the bids.

Ren Qian Qiu and Xia Fei

have never discussed this publicly.

It's just what

what I think based on what I heard.

Just for reference.

Excellent.

Have you all been busy recently?

With the competition,

along with your work.

It's difficult

to get Xiao Man home for a meal.

Don't worry.

It won't affect my work on the tender.

Even if I wanted to relax,

Ren Qian Qiu wouldn't agree.

Alright.

There's still some time

before the next round of competition.

Well,

there won't be any plans

in this interim period, right?

I'm waiting for them to tell me.

There'll be some time for a break.

Alright.

Big Su?

What instructions do you have for me?

Little Su.

Mom is asking if

you are coming home for dinner.

Will you be home?

Then I'll definitely come home.

Tell your mom

I will be back in half an hour.

Okay.

Right,

Xiao Man won't stay

at Brain Data forever, right?

Did you

make the necessary arrangements already?

This...

She has to decide for herself.

She's a smart child.

You are smart too.

You just need to

finish this

matter for me.

I know what I'm capable of.

Please don't worry

about what's between me and her.

Remember what I said.

(Big Su)

"Whoever wins

gets the beauty."

Do a good job.

I'll leave first then.

What does he mean?

What's wrong? Anything happened?

I have some questions for you.

First.

Are you

working with my dad on something?

Just seeking his advice.

I heard

your conversation today.

I didn't do it on purpose.

My dad forgot to hang up.

Is my dad

making you do something?

And if you do it,

he will let us be together?

Are you afraid

that my mom

will not agree to us being together,

and so you are avoiding me?

I'm only helping to introduce

some foreign students to Professor Su.

He wants to collaborate

with their laboratories.

Wu Yue, I like you,

but I'm not stupid.

It's up to you to believe me.

I'll leave first.

Second.

The news about Feng Zheng Zheng...

It was you who told the media, right?

It's not just you

who knows people from the media.

I can definitely find out

the things I want to know.

You really like to

investigate others behind their back.

Since I already know,

then tell me.

That's right.

I notified the media.

I wanted justice.

When this happened,

Sun Qi still went to work as per normal

and wasn't affected at all.

The company still

protected him as if he was the victim.

How about Feng Zheng Zheng?

You saw

her mental state was on the TV.

What I did...

isn't what you wanted to do?

I don't know.

I just feel that the media

kept harassing her again and again.

It's the same as

reopening

old scars again and again.

Sometimes,

if you want revenge,

you have to pay the price.

This isn't right.

This timing...

This timing is usually

your leisure time.

Go play some piano,

have some tea.

Watch some Korean dramas.

You...

I am going to meditate.

No way.

I can't seem to calm down.

Why don't you tell me

what exactly

did you ask that kid to do

to "win".

What are you talking about?

We've been married for so long,

haven't we?

From what I know about you,

the words "to win"

is not something you casually say.

If I recall correctly,

you said such words when

you were being evaluated as a professor.

Alright.

Xiao Man isn't here.

It's okay if I tell you.

I did

ask Wu Yue

to carry out an important task.

Xiao Man's

ambition is not being at Brain Data.

She's your daughter, so you would know.

She wants to be successful,

right?

But these past few months,

she has been stuck

in this company.

It's as if she's a different person.

So I was thinking

why is that so?

Then I understood.

It's because she wants to be with Wu Yue.

She didn't apply

for a PhD.

She's not even going to Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou anymore.

She didn't even want to

take up my offer of

a managerial position either.

You are career-oriented

and that's fine.

But do you want your daughter

to be like that as well?

I think her current job

at this company is

stable and seems pretty good.

Stable?

Do you think she can be stable there?

Don't you know

what your daughter is like?

I'm just thinking

this is the time for her

to work hard

and become successful.

She shouldn't be indulging in her relationship.

If her relationship ends,

then won't all this time

be wasted?

That's true.

Alright.

I agree.

I don't want her to become like

that Feng Zheng Zheng also.

So

I want her

and Wu Yue

to obtain a PhD together.

And then, go to Silicon Valley together.

For one,

it will save you from worrying for a few years.

Second,

it'll let them learn and improve together,

and to rise and succeed together.

Not bad.

That's a pretty good idea.

But why are you

being so secretive about it?

I...

Wu Yue.

You haven't given me a reply

about that matter

I asked Su Xiao Man to tell you about.

What's that?

I had a supervisor

called Yang Guo Ru.

Do you remember?

After he was fired,

he went to

another company to do sales.

He went and stole

the logistics account from me.

And then?

And then I thought of

your unrivaled package.

Tell me

what package did you

give Mr. Dai

to make him fall in love with you?

I almost got fired

because of that package.

What love could we have?

Wu Yue.

You're not being very fair.

This matter

is something private between

the two of you.

Why bring

an innocent person like me into this?

Actually, that package

was placed at his door

by his personal courier.

I just did him a favor

by helping him send it across.

I don't believe you.

I don't believe that

you would do something for no reason.

Fine.

If you don't want to help, forget it.

Speaking of help,

I can give you

a suggestion.

That might be more effective.

Really?

Then...

Swear on the

young and

budding love between you and Xiao Man

that this is a good idea.

I think

it's better to use

the friendship

between you and Xiao Man instead.

In any case,

my idea is good.

And yours and Xiao Man's

friendship will be intact.

Mr. Dai.

You are?

I'm the girl who washed

your uniforms into a camo print.

You're Wu Yue's girlfriend.

So

did you

specially

come here to pay for my clothes?

Anything.

You can let me know

if you have any errands to be done.

Can I pay you back

in this way?

Previously,

I hired your company

to deliver something to Beijing.

Unfortunately, it got lost.

But the service

is really great.

They refunded me so quickly.

What did you send?

A piece of clothing.

What was its value?

I don't remember.

Around 300-400 yuan.

They repaid me

once I gave them the invoice.

Really?

You didn't have to go through any process?

No, I didn't.

So I had to take this chance

to compliment you.

This way, please.

Wu Yue.

Where did you get

such a fake girlfriend?

She's full of lies.

She's not exactly fake.

I authorized her to go ahead

to try and get to know you.

You punk.

It's been so long

and you haven't met me for a meal.

Yet you used her to try and get to know me?

How would I have known that this one-day girlfriend

is so ambitious and

that she wants to run the business herself?

I know

that she's your colleague.

(You're worried about)

(exposing the mess)

(regarding your company)

(and you don't want to shirk it.)

(Rest assured.)

I won't tell her about you

giving me the data.

As for her intentions...

I think

I can guess as much.

Then let me thank you on her behalf.

Moving forward, she will be

responsible for the logistics sector.

Hopefully, she can learn from you

to be down-to-earth

and sincere.

Young punk.

(Thank you for your attention)

I don't feel that these materials

are good enough.

This is just a part of it.

It's still being perfected.

We are all working hard

to obtain all of the

software and hardware.

"Working hard"?

Before we joined,

you said

you have a 50% success rate.

That's putting it nicely.

But now,

with the good reputation of

Techs in the industry

and market share,

you still only have

the same 50%.

Then what is the point

of our merger?

Your involvement

means that we are

now 100% confident.

Sure.

Then from now on,

get the secretary to order meals.

Everyone here will not be allowed

to leave this meeting room other than to sleep.

This kind of rubbish

can't even convince me.

How do you expect to convince the clients?

Okay.

We also look forward to seeing Ms. Zhu's

software bidding materials.

We will wait and see.

Everyone,

I don't mean to

embarrass Mr. Ren here.

But before we start work

I have two things

I wish to make clear.

First,

Techs and you guys

have merged.

It is not a takeover.

Second,

since we're all in the same household,

we are now one family.

There are

some things that I cannot overlook.

I heard that some newcomers

have joined some

TV entrepreneurship reality show.

Is that right?

Our company has always supported

the employee's individual pursuits.

It's part of our benefits.

Then the benefits from joining the show,

who will they belong to?

With the company.

Everyone.

It's not that

I'm being heartless

by not supporting you youngsters.

But during

this tender period,

stop all the individual

projects that you have.

Otherwise,

you can leave the group.

Boss,

you didn't tell us about this.

The company has always had this rule.

You just didn't pay closer

attention to the employee handbook.

But we did not sign

any contract

to transfer our rights to the company.

But you signed an employment contract.

We trusted you so much.

You can't just cheat us like this.

I'll say it again.

Go back

and read the employee handbook

before coming to me to discuss.

Boss.

Will everything be fine

as long as we resign?

Wu Yue.

You are indeed taught well by me.

Lin Shao Ting,

you don't know

what I said just now

is only a stop-gap?

That project of yours,

after undergoing improvements,

has great potential.

I really have faith in you.

So long as you can

reach the national finals,

you don't need to worry about funding.

Am I the kind

of boss who

will keep you tied to me?

In other words, we can

continue working as per normal, right?

Judy is

not someone you want to cross.

After the merger,

she holds the same amount of shares as me.

I alone cannot protect you.

So, during this tender period,

please show some restraint.

Understood.

Believe me.

There is no one

who hopes for you

to improve,

to be better,

and to succeed, more than me!

Based on my description,

what kind of

female boss do you think she is?

This is that cafe

opened by that capable person?

She's just an unmarried old woman.

She has nowhere else to assert herself,

so she takes the chance to act out at work.

Da Qi,

you are not married

and your mouth is also pretty dirty.

I think

you would be a good match for her.

Yes, yes, yes.

To still be unmarried at that age,

it is very likely

that there is something

wrong with that woman up there.

No matter how cool she is, she is not my type.

As I said, there's something wrong with the script.

The characters are too exaggerated.

In reality,

the person is pretty and sassy,

as well as full of energy.

Mr. Ren.

The face is the index of the mind.

What?

It's nothing.

Next time,

we need to find another place to meet.

We can't be seen by her.

No way.

Why is Boss Ren so scared?

What does our class rep think?

Stop our research and development?

Wu Yue told me to tell you this.

"Be careful."

After we proceed in the competition,

we will resign.

This way,

the company can't do anything.

I don't understand.

Research while being with the company

How could it belong to the company?

We didn't even use the company's computers!

We did...

As Wu Yue said,

the project

will only belong to the company if it succeeds

while we're still with the company.

We just need to leave

before it succeeds.

No...

Why are you always

speaking for him?

Is he still...

He...

has gone to pick up girls.

Have some fruit.

No need to stand on ceremony. Come on.

Ms. Xia,

you don't mind if we use the table too, right?

I thought only the software development team

got sent into solitary confinement.

Turns out

everyone else's lunch got canceled too.

Ms. Xia, nice to meet you.

Xiao Man and I are

newcomers to the company's software development department.

We are also

people who will change the world.

What a coincidence.

I have always been in charge of the software department.

Because I was away for business and whatnot,

I didn't get the chance

to meet everyone.

From now on,

I will be your boss.

Have a seat.

I thought you are only responsible

for software sales.

Software development

is also within my scope.

Wu Yue, you've worked hard. Have some fruit.

I drank from that.

It's okay. We're close friends.

Sure,

it's all yours.

No problem. I drank enough.

An arrogant person like Lin Shao

actually treats

his girlfriend pretty well.

Secretary Qin.

Let me introduce you.

This is

is the former head of Techs,

Judy.

We are particularly interested

in the bid with Qian Da,

so we specially came to pay you a visit.

Secretary Qin, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

I'm not sure if you remember me.

We worked together a few years ago.

Of course, I do.

It would be difficult to forget such an

outstanding female head.

There's no need to

refer to it as a "female" boss.

The market

is gender-neutral.

That's a good joke.

Also,

I have arranged

a meeting with Mr. Liang.

However, he needs to go on a business trip later,

so he can't speak for long.

Sure.

No problem.

This way, please.

There's nothing between me and Xia Fei.

There might be something

between me and Lin Shao.

I think

we should set up

a mutual-help group.

We should collaborate

and work on a project together.

Aren't we

already a team?

Do as I say

and you will firm up your position

in the marketing department.

Then,

here's to working together.

Alone again?

You too, Mr. Xu.

I'm different from you.

Oh, right.

Ah Gui

secretively

hid

something behind the small picture frame.

It should be for you.

Why not go and take a look?

I really don't understand.

You are so young.

Why do you hide

your feelings so deep inside you?

You've discovered it.

Which means I haven't hidden it that well.

Hasn't it

been countless times

that you wished to confess to her?

Whenever you feel like going for it,

you then rein the "horse" in. [*hold himself back]

I get tired just watching you.

Not to mention you.

Who's riding the horse.

Be straightforward and direct about your feelings.

It's better to be open about it.

I can't.

If I don't control this horse,

I'll not be

the only one that could fall off.

Then get the job done quickly.

Just quickly do

what you want to do.

Lest you end up

getting everyone involved.

I'll leave first, Mr. Xu.

(Sales Content)

Sorry

for asking you out so early.

It's fine.

At this time,

it isn't crowded

and the air is fresher.

It's rare that

I get to enjoy

being in nature.

How is it going?

Any good news

from Qian Da?

I asked you out

just to talk about this.

It seems that management

is treating this project with great importance.

Judy and her staff are in position

to enter this project forcefully.

Theoretically,

she has already become

the project's lead on software packages

and is equal to Ren Qian Qiu.

Ren Qian Qiu...

He just gave in like that?

I think

it's not that simple.

Things will get interesting now.

Then,

you can wait and see what happens next.

You punk.

You've never disappointed me.

One more thing.

I was thinking

maybe I should just stop here.

Judy is so aggressive.

I'm afraid I won't be able

to get any more information from Xia Fei,

or other secrets.

After all,

she has already become

the person who is next in charge.

So that's your concern.

The money you lent to me...

I will use my salary

and wages from my part-time jobs

and return it to you monthly.

Wu Yue.

I'm doing this for your sake

and for mine as well.

You

should think about it again.

I won't force you.

Also,

that other thing

which I've promised you,

don't you want to know what it is?

I'm just wondering

what has made you

decide to give up?

Has Xiao Man found out?

Wouldn't you ever regret it

if you did

give up now?

I'll repeat what I've said.

I'm doing this for your sake

and for my mine as well.

You should think it through carefully.

Wu Yue.

I won't force you.

Thanks, Mr. Dai.

You're my savior.

Little girl,

do you know why

I suddenly decided

to purchase your upgrading services?

Because of Wu Yue.

Or is it because of my beauty?

You...

You clearly have the capability.

Why do you choose to avoid it?

You have been blessed with good looks.

But that doesn't mean

you must depend on it to succeed.

You steadfastly

researched on our company's business,

steadfastly researched

the capabilities of the current software,

and steadfastly

completed this report.

What I like about you

is your steadfastness.

That's why I gave you this contract.

Understand?

When others get a contract,

they are very happy.

What's wrong with you?

You're about to cry.

I...

It's my first time being praised

for being capable.

Xiao Man.

Thanks for treating me to coffee.

It's not from me.

It's from Chai Qing.

She's treating everyone to coffee

to celebrate her signing her first account.

I'll leave you to your work.

You two haven't worked things out yet?

If the virus hasn't been removed,

how can it recover?

How about you?

Are you going to use

the new version

of Xiao Que Xing on Goddess Chai?

Oh, no.

You hesitated, thought about it,

and now you're struggling inside.

I did not!

My feelings towards the Goddess

do not need to

be calculated with algorithms anymore.

(Congrats, beauty, for getting your first account.)

(Someone is getting prettier)

(and learning yoga from internet celebrities.)

(Aren't you coming out soon?)

Congratulations.

Thanks.

You're so amazing.

You managed to

single-handedly get this account.

Indeed.

I'm in awe of myself too.

I couldn't help

regarding the courier package issue.

Sorry about that.

This again?

I'm just saying that

if I knew about it earlier,

even if I had to beat him to a pulp,

I would have gotten the news out of him.

That's right.

So why didn't you?

That's more like my sis.

But Wu Yue

does have tricks up his sleeve.

Do you know what

suggestions he gave me?

He gave you suggestions?

He told me

to be down-to-earth.

Be down-to-earth.

That's quite like him.

I thought he was

pulling a fast one on me.

I didn't think it'd actually work.

That's the kind of person he is.

He looks solemn on the surface,

with a long face,

but he has a heart for others.

You...

Weren't you just

angry at him this morning?

I'm just stating things as it is.

He deserves to be praised for helping you.

But I still don't understand

the matter about Feng Zheng Zheng.

Why did you have to do that?

Nothing was gained in return.

That's not really your style.

Aren't all women like that?

It's like doing yoga.

You ache everywhere

and you don't really see any results.

However,

don't we still enjoy doing it?

No, no, no.

That's not the same thing.

You...

Why are you being so serious?

You're the one being serious.

Otherwise,

what's Feng Zheng Zheng's love life

got to do with you?

I just don't like

women who can't figure out their feelings.

Sun Qi was clearly playing her.

Yet she took it for real.

She didn't care about

ruining her reputation and future.

I originally

wanted her to see the facts clearly.

Who would've thought

she really didn't get it?

Then why did you get me to do your dirty work?

Because it'll have a stronger impact.

So

are you angry with her or me?

With you?

Why would I be angry with you?

Lin Shao.

Lin Shao?

Do you feel that

we two are getting too close?

You've misunderstood.

Lin Shao, Zhang Jiang, and I

are developing

software together.

That's why we are always together.

Wait.

Don't tell me that you want to say that

you are the one

who came between Lin Shao and me.
