[Love Me Like I Do]

[Episode 1]

[Nice to meet you, please don't fake it]

Someone said

dreams are what people call the unachievable.

I don't think so.

The point of a dream is to give one direction.

One should set out towards the light.

The harder you work,

the luckier you'll be.

It's another great day.

I have to do well

for today's interview.

Let's go!

Come on!

[Tian Tian, Illustrator]

In this world,

time is ruthless

and fair.

No one ever gets an extra minute.

Only those who can control time

can control their own lives.

I truly believe in this.

Those who calculate time in minutes

have 59 times more time

than those who calculate time in hours.

That's right.

I'm someone who lives by the minute.

Perfect.

[Liu Xilai, CEO of Qiansheng Group]

[Qiansheng Group]

Yes, come in.

Please take off your brooch.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Why?

Because it's red.

Hello.

Your lipstick is too bright.

It doesn’t meet the makeup guidelines of Qiansheng Group.

Please remove it.

Young man,

have you heard that

makeup is like plastic surgery?

If I remove it, I'll be disfigured.

I'm sorry.

You can choose to wipe off your lipstick

or leave.

It's just an interview.

Must you be so strict?

I heard that Mr. Liu of the Qiansheng Group

doesn't like red

because a master told him

that gold is good for him but red is bad.

So,

when you're in Qiansheng Group,

you can't use red.

Especially

bright red.

Why is Mr. Liu so weird?

How unlucky.

The work that I brought for the interview is red.

Assistant Tang.

Why didn't you turn on the lights?

Are you saving money for me?

Mr. Liu, you're funny.

This batch of custom made sunglasses

are made with special materials.

The red light filter is enhanced.

You should try it on first.

[Tang Sai, CEO's Special Assistant]

Mr. Liu.

The house, the company,

and some specific places you often go to.

I promise there's no red.

As for other occasions,

you can wear the sunglasses.

[CEO of Qiansheng Group, Liu Xilai]

Mr. Liu, as we all know,

Qiansheng Group is the largest toy company

in the Asian market.

Why did you choose to enter

the niche designer toy market?

Because it's profitable.

Director Liu is so humorous.

Indeed.

Designer toys have become a

mainstay of Gen Z's spiritual consumption.

So,

what advantage does Qiansheng Group have

compared to all the designer toy workshops?

The advantage lies in our rich capital.

We'll start with 100 million yuan

for research and development.

Mr. Liu is so brave at such a young age.

No wonder you're the idol of the young generation.

It's not much of an exaggeration

to say that you're the dream guy of a billion girls.

Do you have a message

for them?

Youngsters,

spend less time dreaming

and more time doing.

Now, let's talk about

the classic works of the Qiansheng Group.

For example, Tang Fei’s Deep Palace series and

Fang Jingjing's Winter Story series.

Sorry.

It's Tang Fei's Winter Story series.

Director Liu, what are you doing?

It's a waste of time

to have an interview with someone who's unprepared.

Assistant Tang,

don't accept requests

for such unprofessional interviews anymore.

I haven't even asked

about those rumored taboos.

Tang Fei's Winter Story series.

[Tang Fei, Designer]

I want my work

to become a classic too.

[Designer: Kevin]

[A new designer toy will be launched soon.]

What's going on?

Hello.

Excuse me,

is Designer Kevin from your company?

Of course.

He's the director of our toy design department.

He's very talented.

He's also the interviewer today.

[Resume]

[Name: Tian Tian]

[Kevin, Design Director]

Tian Tian.

Based on your resume,

you used to be an illustrator.

Why do you want to be a trending toy designer now?

Because illustrations are two-dimensional works,

while designer toys are three-dimensional presentations.

So, being a toy designer

has always been my dream.

Qiansheng Group is not a dream-making company.

We don't want dreamers.

We want people with extraordinary creativity.

I understand.

For example,

the Cute Pets series

designed by Kevin on the publicity wall

is very creative.

But there's one thing I don't understand.

Can I ask Kevin?

Go ahead.

What does the

thorned rose at the lion's feet

symbolize?

It represents the young and energetic youth

who step on the thorny road full of roses.

They turn the tide and grow towards the sun.

Kevin.

I have another explanation

for the thorned roses.

Personally, I love The Lion King.

So,

I've used a lion instead of a tiger,

and a rose instead of a multiflora rose

to create a cute illustration

called Thorned Roses.

Why is your design

so similar to the illustration I did three years ago?

Miss Tian,

are you trying to blackmail me?

I'm not.

I have evidence.

In my illustration,

there's an easter egg.

You can look at it again.

You're being unreasonable.

Security. Where's the security?

Are you feeling nervous? Guilty? Why are you calling security?

If you dare to plagiarize,

then dare to admit it!

You're talking nonsense.

Security! Where is the security?

Don't touch me.

I can walk by myself.

But I, Tian Tian,

will never let your

shameless acts of plagiarism slide.

[Qiansheng Group]

Why don't you let me in?

I want to see your boss.

Sorry.

I was informed that

I can't let you in.

Why?

I was plagiarized.

Plagiarism, you know?

It's like someone took your child away from you,

saying you didn't give birth to it.

No matter who gave birth to the child,

please leave.

I...

Ridiculous.

Hey, Rose.

Tian.

Is the interview over?

How did you do?

Did you impress them

with your talent?

I almost killed someone. Let's not talk about it.

Rose, I was plagiarized.

Plagiarized?

Hello.

It's too noisy on your end.

I'm going to defend my rights.

Let's talk at home tonight.

I don't believe that no one cares about this.

He dared to chase me away after plagiarizing my work.

Sorry, we can't let you in.

Forget it. I'm not going in.

Then tell me

what time does your boss going to work and leave the office?

No comment.

You...

The CEO has arrived.

Security, get ready.

Alert! Alert!

So he is Mr. Liu.

I'm really stunned by

the arrogance of this king of cockiness.

Mr. Liu, please wait.

Mr. Liu.

Kevin, the Design Director of your company,

copied my design.

Do you know about this?

Let me show you.

He plagiarized this series.

No need, I'm not interested.

My time is expensive.

Are you going to let it be?

If every matter in the company

had to be handled by the CEO,

then this company

would have shut down.

But as the CEO,

allowing your subordinates to plagiarize

would also cause the company to shut down sooner or later.

Boss.

Mr. Liu.

-Boss. -Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu.

Boss.

Are you okay, Mr. Liu?

No way.

This...

He fainted?

Mr. Liu.

Tian Tian has bad character

and hit others.

She's trying her best to get people's attention through blackmail.

Even you, Mr. Liu, have not be spared.

I don't want to hear your flimsy explanation.

Give all the information about this series of toys

to Assistant Tang.

The company will decide.

No.

Assistant Tang,

investigate this matter.

Okay.

Mr. Liu,

you haven't fainted because of the color red in a long time.

Do you want to call Doctor Li?

Hello.

Miss Tian.

Kevin.

How do you know my phone number?

I know your phone number

and your family background.

It's all on your resume.

Before you mess around,

you should think about your future.

Are you threatening me?

Listen.

You messed with the wrong person.

I'm stubborn.

Those who cross my boundaries

will be punished.

Plagiarism is my bottom line.

I will protect my rights till the end.

Give me a bank account number.

I'll transfer you some money.

Let it go.

Ridiculous.

You can't threaten me so now you want to tempt me?

No way.

Tian.

If he knows your address,

will he take revenge on you?

If he dares to,

I'll make sure

he doesn't get his way

and loses even more!

I know you're hot-tempered.

But I'm afraid you'll suffer

if you go up against someone like that.

The company has no evidence

that he plagiarized it either, right?

Rose.

I have solid evidence.

But I'm not close to the CEO.

I'm now known as the top troublemaker.

I can't even enter the gate of the Qiansheng Group.

You have me.

It's time to use my skills as a journalist.

I will help you find out

the CEO's schedule

so that you can take advantage of it.

Mr. Liu.

Uncle Liu called just now.

He wants you to free up an hour.

Again? I'm busy.

Uncle Liu knew you would say you were busy,

so he checked your schedule

and said it will only take one hour.

Assistant Tang,

do you know

how much it would cost Qiansheng Group

for me to waste an hour?

Uncle Liu said

Qiansheng Group is a big company.

We're not afraid of loss.

Okay.

Just one hour.

Mr. Liu,

I heard that this time, your blind date

is an extremely beautiful girl.

In school,

she received more than 50 love letters every day.

Everywhere she went,

she was stopped by people confessing their love for her.

So,

the boys in this school

did nothing

but wrote her love letters.

According to the information, that's right.

Assistant Tang,

notify HR.

Do not hire

any boys from this school.

Okay, Mr. Liu.

Hello, Rose.

Are you sure

Liu Xilai will show up here today?

You can doubt my character,

but you can't doubt my professionalism.

It's such a waste that

I'm not a paparazzi, given my abilities.

Okay.

I'll do my best to protect my rights.

Sorry, madam.

The club is only open to members.

Please show me your membership card.

I...

I'm here for an interview.

Hello, Mr. Liu.

I'm Qian Qian.

Hello.

Mr. Liu, what do you

enjoy doing for leisure?

Let me guess.

Golf?

Yachting?

Or...

Do you know how to play Golden Flower?

A straight.

Straight flush.

Since he is the CEO of Qiansheng Group,

I'll take the initiative.

Her game etiquette is so terrible.

She even wanted to peep at my cards.

Mr. Liu.

Actually, I'm not good at playing cards.

What should I do?

I promised my uncle

that I'd only go home after an hour.

Otherwise,

Let's...

Read.

He has such a beautiful woman by his side and

he wants to read?

Is he blind?

Mr. Liu.

What book are you reading?

Do you want to read it?

A Hundred Years of Solitude.

What the hell?

Am I really

such a bore?

Mr. Liu.

Actually,

you can talk to me.

You'll find that

I'm not only good looking

but also sophisticated.

Miss Qian, do you want to chat?

You can chat with the AI robot

developed by my company.

Have a good chat.

It can satisfy all your desires for a chat.

And it's not difficult

to get it.

We can give you a 15% discount.

Here, try it.

Hello.

So what if he's the CEO of Qiansheng Group?

He's a weirdo.

Is he crazy?

I...

My stomach hurts.

Excuse me.

I need to go to the toilet.

Assistant Tang.

I am seriously unhappy.

I demand that Qiansheng Group

punish the plagiarist severely.

I want justice!

[Say no to plagiarism]

Mr. Liu.

Why are you...

Why are you overreacting?

Why is he staring at me like that?

Is he really crazy?

Why don't I feel dizzy when I see red

once I touch her?

Mr. Liu.

Why is Miss Qian…

You...

Why are you here again?

What are you doing?

Get up.

Don't take advantage of my Mr. Liu.

Wait.

She can't leave.

Do you think you're the only one with sunglasses?

Kevin's image of the cutesy stone lion

was plagiarized from this illustration three years ago.

Each of my illustrations

contain an easter egg.

Among the thorned roses in this illustration,

there's a hidden "Tian" logo.

This is the evidence.

Look.

I really don't feel dizzy.

Unbelievable.

Mr. Liu,

do you also think it's shocking?

This was completely plagiarized.

Mr. Liu.

Look.

This little lion's eyes

and this little lion's eyes…

Unbelievable.

What's going on?

Mr. Liu, please take a look.

The eyebrows of this lion

and this little lion's eyebrows…

Miss Tian.

Have some water.

Stop interrupting.

Is he even listening to me?

Unbelievable.

Is he seriously ill?

Mr. Liu.

Miss Tian.

You are right.

Is he trying to brush me off?

Forget it. I'll put up with it.

Unbelievable.

I can't bear it!

Mr. Liu,

I don't think being plagiarized

is so unbelievable!

You keep saying it's unbelievable.

Unbelievable!

Are you mocking me?

Miss Tian,

I've been listening to you carefully.

Don't worry.

I will investigate it as soon as possible

and give you a fair response.

I hope you can keep your promise.

Don't give me a perfunctory response.

Otherwise,

I will use the law and the media

to defend my rights.

Are you okay?

What happened today was such a surprise.

It's really

a miracle.

Help me make an appointment with Dr Li.

He's quite happy.

[Bonus Scenes]

Tian, wake up. You'll be late for your interview.

I was up a long time ago.

I'm almost at the bus stop.

I didn't wake you before I went out

since you were up late last night.

I'm calling to tell you that

you'll have bad luck today. Be careful.

Don't worry.

Even if there's a flood today,

nothing can stop me from striving towards my dream.

Wait for good news from me.

Wait!
