=My Marvellous Fable=

Use your wit

to make Ms. Wang do the test,

not by force.

All the best,

Feng.

(Let her do the test?)

(I'm afraid she'll skin me alive)

(after she finishes with the test.)

(What should I do?)

Okay.

Thank you.

(The first step in the Thirty-Six Stratagems)

(is doing one thing under cover of another.)

What are you doing?

Wash your hands first.

So Mr. Feng Tianlan,

do you have kids?

I just graduated in July this year.

Do you know

what you did just now

resemble those of a loving mother

in 1990s TV dramas?

Do you usually portray yourself

as some vulnerable and innocent infant?

You acted like a mother having been through hardship and suffering first.

Where's my fork?

You can eat with your hands after washing it.

(Okay.)

(This is the moment!)

(Time to feign retreat to ambush the enemy.)

Your hair.

You're crossing the line here.

I won't fall for this trick.

(This trick doesn't work either.)

Here.

You even have a hair tie.

Did your girlfriend ask you to carry it with you?

I have seven female cousins.

Carrying hair ties with me help them tie their hair

is my passive skill.

Passive skill?

What kind of people-pleasing personality is this?

What do you mean?

Why are you always accommodating in every aspect?

You're a man.

But taking out a hair tie

from your pocket

is absurd.

I really can't understand.

Have you ever refused anyone?

What's your bottom line,

Obliger Feng?

Obliger Feng?

Feng Tianlan

is the world's number one person who doesn't know how to refuse.

Thus, "Obliger Feng."

Did you have any childhood trauma...

or something

that caused you to be emotionally distressed?

(Me? Emotionally distressed?)

(You're the one with emotional distress.)

By the way,

are you almost done eating?

Generally,

when someone says "by the way"

during a conversation,

it means they want to change the topic.

So tell me.

What are you up to again?

(I'm done for.)

(She found out.)

Nothing.

It's nothing.

Ms. Wang,

this test is especially interesting.

Do you want to try it?

No.

I don't want to.

I refuse.

It's a scam on the Internet,

saying things like,

"A person with blood type A is your good match."

or "Aquarius is a perfect match for Gemini."

It's all suggestive.

We're free

and have nothing to do.

Let's do it for fun.

After all, we've been together for so many days.

This test can enhance

our understanding of each other.

Do it.

What kind of test is this?

Just consider it as a way to relax.

"I feel depressed and frustrated."

(Always like this.)

I'm in my best mood in the morning.

Does it make any difference?

(My constipation troubles me.)

(My heart beats faster than usual.)

(My mind is as clear as usual, with no problems.)

(My life is meaningful.)

(Team Leader)

Are you rushing me for the manuscript?

Of course, not.

I'm just worried about our new recruit.

Feng.

Yes, sir.

I'm here.

Turn off the speaker.

You hung up too quickly earlier.

I hadn't finished speaking to you.

I received the audio recording

of your story.

She said this and then that without coherence.

Does she really think we're genius editors

who can create something out of nothing?

Of course,

Ms. Wang is a genius.

It's just that we haven't understood

the profound meaning behind her work.

It's even more certain now.

I have just one minor question.

Please convey it to Ms. Wang.

How does she plan

to connect these stories together?

Sir,

your company has been creating content

for quite some time.

Once the stories are finished,

the connection between the content will naturally be established.

The editors bring up dumb questions all the time

and you keep mentioning

the rise of print media

and the artistic renaissance...

All right.

I'll stop here.

Ms. Wang,

you're right about everything.

I have a slight headache now.

So I'm hanging up.

Feng,

remember what I told you.

Okay, sir.

You can do it.

So Manuscript Pusher,

what now?

Ms. Wang,

I understand

we have some issues to solve.

Although I really want the manuscript,

it's not the most important issue.

We have many other things to solve.

Don't worry.

We'll face them together.

When I was very young,

my father

was bedridden for a long time.

After that...

After that,

he got better.

Ms. Wang,

I understand the feeling

of losing a loved one

and the pain of separation.

That's why

we shouldn't casually joke

about our loved ones.

If we lose them,

we'll regret it.

Sorry about that.

I forgot that you were...

(Team Leader)

(Don't let her do the test anymore.)

(If she knows)

(it's a self-test for manic-depressive disorder.)

(Both of us would be done for.)

Excuse me.

A glass of ice water, please.

Thank you.

Let's eat.

Eat.

(You little brat.)

By the way,

I just checked.

It takes about 24 hours

to travel

from Beijing to Qionghai.

If we drive

at least 10 hours a day,

we can get there

in three days.

Okay.

Of course, if you're in a hurry,

I can drive longer each day.

But I just wanted to ask,

why didn't we take a plane?

It would only take a few hours.

"Ms. Wang,

why didn't you take the plane?

Why do you have a big appetite?

Why are you such a good drinker?

Why aren't you writing your novel?"

Why? Why? Why?

All you ask is why.

Ms. Wang,

can we

not start an argument

whenever we have a conversation?

After all, I'm steering

the wheel now.

So you've learned how to give threats now, huh?

I dare not.

Feng,

you really work hard.

But does anyone notice it?

Is it wrong for us

to work hard,

Ms. Wang?

I'll tell you one story.

(Recording)

(Chapter Two: Lunchtime)

(Certificate of Honor) (The protagonist of this story)

(is Yuanyuan.)

(Just like you,)

(she just graduated)

(I hope you'll work hard for ideals) (and an intern at a company.)

(and devote yourself to your studies.) (For tomorrow's presentation,)

(Lunchtime: Yuanyuan) (she has prepared it for a month.)

(It's related)

(to whether she can be officially employed)

(because)

(she always has one belief.)

(That is,)

(she wants to work hard)

(and make everyone notice it.)

Hello, Dad.

You're home?

Is it cold there?

The weather is fine.

It's not cold.

How's work?

Have you made new friends?

Why aren't you saying anything?

I knew you would fail again.

Hey, listen.

Do you know the guy named Zi'an?

The guy

who always failed his exams.

Guess what?

Things are going really great for him.

He just bought a new house.

Look at you. You've worked so hard

to go from a small town to Beijing.

What's the point of studying so much?

Does anyone notice you?

Dad,

I'm hanging up if there's nothing important.

Even if you do well,

newcomers like us won't get a chance.

Mr. Zhang,

this is our planning department's new recruit.

Luna.

Mr. Zhang, hello.

How is your preparation?

It's all good.

We've already tested it three times.

Where's Yuanyuan?

I guess she's not here yet.

Young people nowadays are becoming more and more unreliable.

Luna seems okay.

If she's talented, keep her.

Otherwise, people will say

I'm not capable as an employer.

Why are you here?

I prepared the presentation file.

Of course, I'll be the one to present it.

(Weiyasi Architectural Design Firm Annual Strategic Meeting)

Is everyone here?

Let's begin.

Well,

you do the presentation then.

Okay.

You there.

I need a drink.

Can you make me a cup of tea?

Sure.

Thank you.

Mr. Zhang,

I'll begin now.

Okay.

Today,

we'll be presenting our company's strategic report

for the year 2018.

Please turn to page one.

Thank you, Mr. Zhang.

So? How is it?

I'm being promoted.

Wow, that's great news.

You must buy us a meal.

You're the fastest-promoted person

I've ever seen in the company.

What magic potion did you give Mr. Zhang?

What nonsense are you talking about?

Did he say when they'll put out the notice?

Soon.

What is it?

Nothing.

What else did Mr. Zhang say?

We'll talk about it over lunch later.

Okay.

Sit down.

(I will have everyone see me with my effort.)

(Can you describe the scene at the time?)

(Rowdy Lad Frustrates Elderly Woman) (I was livid because of it.)

(That troublemaker mischievously)

(sprang out)

(from outside out of a sudden.)

Oh, Wang Yanni.

And you call yourself Luna?

(He's not a good person.)

(Absolutely a bad person!)

(Fifty Percent of Young Adults) (Welcome to Xunjie News.)

(Face Emotional Challenge) (Welcome to Xunjie News.)

(I'm your host, Wang Lei.)

(Today,)

(we're honored to have our guest,)

(Mr. Qingchuan, with us.)

(Hello, Mr. Qingchuan.)

(Nowadays, there are more and more)

(outstanding young people)

(and competition in various fields)

(is becoming intense.)

(Indeed,)

(the current work environment)

(for young people is quite harsh.)

(However, I believe)

(that diligent individuals like us)

(should have been recognized long ago.)

I've gained weight lately.

My trainer said I must follow a fat-loss diet

to slim down.

Why?

I don't think I ever gained weight from eating.

Luna.

Your bag is pretty!

Is that so?

They even gave you a teddy bear, a limited edition.

It's difficult to buy.

I saved up for a long time

and divided it into 24 installments to finally buy it.

To make my situation even worse,

my landlord

is going to increase my rent again.

So I have to tighten my belt this month.

You can come and eat here.

There are many empty spaces here.

Come here.

Luna.

What is it?

This teddy bear is adorable.

It is, isn't it?

I saved up for a very long time.

It's expensive.

It was exhausting.

I worked so hard

just to buy handbags.

Heavens.

I can never afford it.

I love this teddy bear.

It's something I can't afford.

(She used my presentation to get promoted and receive a raise.)

(Yet she shamelessly brags about it.)

(Forget it.)

(I'm not going to make a fuss with this kind of person.)

The place we went to for lunch was okay, right?

The portion was huge.

Oh,

this is urgent.

Give it to me before leaving work.

Before leaving work?

I'm also extremely full.

Please help me compare the material price lists.

You can give it to me tomorrow.

It's not urgent.

Tomorrow?

I can't finish all these alone.

(All I do is work overtime.)

(We're both new interns.)

(Why doesn't Luna need to work overtime?)

Is there anyone out there?

Everyone has gone home?

(I'm locked inside the Archives Room. Is anyone still at the office?)

(Does anyone know the property management's phone number?)

(Does anyone know the number? Send it to @Yuanyuan.)

(@Everyone I'm locked at the office! Is anyone reading this?)

(It's raining. Don't forget the umbrella. Be careful on your way home.)

(You live nearby. Go and fetch Yuanyuan @Tiantian.)

(You have 30 unread messages)

(Wishing you prosperity! Come and claim your red envelopes.)

(Congratulations, Luna!)

(Congratulations!)

(It's Luna again.)

(She must be intentionally sending red envelopes)

(to attract everyone's attention.)

Where's Yuanyuan?

I guess she's not here yet.

You're the fastest-promoted person

I've ever seen in the company.

I can't finish all these alone.

(It wasn't easy for you to get out of a small place)

(to go to Beijing.)

What's the point of studying too much?

Does anyone notice you at all?

(Are you looking for the key?)

(It's useless, even if you have the key.)

(The door is locked from the outside.)

(Someone like you)

(is easy to be forgotten.)

Why does no one notice me?

(They don't?)

(Did you work hard enough?)

I did.

(No, you did not.)

I have worked hard enough.

(No, you didn't.)

(They can't see you.)

(No one notices you.)

(No one sees you.)

(No one sees you.)

(No one sees you.)

(No one sees you.)

Stop it.

(No one sees you.)

I said, stop it!

(No one sees you.)

(Luna,)

(you made me do this.)

(We shall wait and see.)

The rain yesterday was too heavy.

It scared me, so I ordered two takeouts.

By the way,

that kid

wasn't locked in the office overnight, right?

It can't be.

We have 24-hour

security patrols.

But I was worried something might have happened to her.

So I came back.

I didn't see anyone, though.

I see.

By the way, yesterday's heavy rain

made me slip and fall.

What happened to your leg?

How did you get injured like this?

And what happened to your arm?

My dear,

you're like a precious gem.

Are you okay?

Yesterday,

I waited until midnight.

But no one came.

So I had to trouble everyone.

I sent a message to the property manager.

But they didn't reply.

Didn't I ask you to go and pick her up?

Why didn't you come?

I was about to leave.

But the boss suddenly asked me to get something done.

Luna just said she had been here.

How come you were still locked in?
