Mr. Qin.

What is it?

You could have called me.

We can meet up for a meal,

and chat during the meal.

No need, Mr. Jia.

I'll leave after this.

Have a seat.

I won't beat around the bush.

Mr. Cao asked me to come

to express Huan Hui's stance

on this matter.

(Legal letter regarding unauthorized copyright transfer of Pursuit)

I'm a bit confused, Mr. Qin.

Since when did I hand Pursuit out to another party?

When did you hand it out?

Who did you give it to?

How much money did you make?

How many people were involved?

Mr. Cao has already investigated everything thoroughly.

Perhaps your business partner is still unaware of it.

I'm getting a bit confused here.

Mr. Cao asked me to pass on a message to you.

In the business world,

there are not only deceit and cunning,

but also social etiquette.

Mr. Qin, there may be a misunderstanding here.

Your client will find you and terminate the contract soon.

I came here today mainly to convey our company's stance.

Copyright infringement is unacceptable.

Yes.

The script must not be defiled.

You will have to pay the price.

Even if it's just a one-cent compensation,

we're willing to spend one million in legal fees.

Wait.

You're exaggerating.

Listen.

I believe there must be a misunderstanding.

Let me call Mr. Cao.

Okay?

I'll ask him.

Okay.

Alright.

We must clarify it if there's any misunderstanding.

Otherwise, Mr. Cao won't be happy.

Hello?

Mr. Cao.

It's Jia.

Mr. Qin is here with me right now.

I'm wondering whether I did something wrong

that caused your misunderstanding.

If there is,

I apologize to you.

Please forgive me.

Jia.

This is a decision from the company's board.

I have no control over it either.

Mr. Cao, I understand.

But you're the head of Huan Hui.

I believe you have control over many decisions.

But in this matter, I'm also powerless.

I'm sorry.

Mr. Jia.

I won't bother you anymore.

Goodbye.

Have you made up your mind?

Was it you who did it?

Yes, it was me.

Carry your hatred,

and let's settle this.

When?

Tomorrow.

Okay.

Five laps.

I won't let you leave here alive.

(Han Dong AB+)

It's unknown whether I'll leave here alive,

but you definitely won't get out.

The weather is not good.

Watch out for yourself.

(Han Dong AB+)

(Han Dong AB+) (Zhen Hai A+)

(Han Dong AB+)

Life is like driving a car.

Don't always think about stepping on the accelerator.

Sometimes, hitting the brake is more important than accelerating.

Officer.

I'd like to make a report.

I finished writing.

How did you come in?

I knocked on the door.

Take your medicine,

and go to sleep.

I don't need to take medicine.

I'm just about to sleep.

Are you sure?

I'm very sleepy now.

I can fall asleep right away.

Really.

Just go.

I'll leave the medicine here.

If you can't fall asleep,

take it yourself.

Just leave it there.

You can go.

I really want to sleep now.

Sleep well.

Please turn off the light for me.

I can't fall asleep.

I'm so sleepy.

I can't believe she came in to check whether I'm asleep.

Is it fun?

It's the second time now.

Can't she see that I'm sleeping?

Is your phone fun?

Why are you in my room?

Look at you.

I've come in twice already.

I was sleeping soundly.

Why did you come in?

You were sound asleep?

I can see with my eyes whether you're asleep.

Take your medicine.

I don't need to take medicine.

I was sleeping well.

I only woke up because you came in.

- Just leave. - You were sleeping well?

While using your phone?

Yes, now go out.

I just had a beautiful dream of wonderful things.

You ruined it all when you came in.

You need to take the medicine.

The doctor said you can't sleep without taking it.

It's fine. I have great sleep quality.

Just leave.

I'm leaving the medicine here.

Sure.

Remember to take it.

Okay, goodnight.

I'll come in again later.

Qi Lianshan, take your medicine.

I need to fall asleep.

So annoying.

I think it was during our final year.

She came to Su City for an internship.

But when she returned to school,

she became a bit strange.

Can you be more specific?

Quiet and introverted.

For quite some time,

she didn't interact much with us.

There were rumors of her being involved in some trouble outside.

I don't know the specifics.

Take some time to think whether you miss any details.

Oh, right.

She didn't attend the graduation ceremony.

She was chosen as a student representative by our faculty.

But she didn't attend the ceremony,

it created an unprecedented situation in our year.

Because of this,

Liu Xia's senior year scholarship

was not awarded by the school.

What exactly happened?

I don't know.

She never told anyone.

Who is this man exactly?

This man is a jobless, small-time thug.

A few years ago, he got involved in gambling and owes a lot of money.

How did Miss Liu come to know such a man?

According to people around Zhang Shun,

Zhang Shun has always boasted about having a long-term backer.

Whenever he's out of money,

he makes a call and someone would transfer the money.

I suspect that the backer is Liu Xia.

We don't have the authority to check Zhang Shun's bank account,

or else many things would be much clearer than they are now.

Try to find clues from other sources.

I need to know what leverage he holds of Miss Liu.

Understood.

It's cold today.

Qi Lianshan.

You're awake so early.

How did you sleep yesterday?

What's going on?

Qi Lianshan.

He didn't even bring his phone.

(Su City Orphanage)

Give it to me.

Take it!

Give it to me.

You need to take the medicine.

The doctor said you can't sleep without taking it.

It's fine. I have great sleep quality.

Just leave.

I'm leaving the medicine here.

Sure.

Remember to take it.

Okay, goodnight.

I'll come in again later.

(Work hard, build the nation frugally.)

Big brother, let's play together.

Qi Lianshan, everything's fine now.

We can play together.

Where have you been all day?

Why didn't you bring your phone?

I went somewhere.

I was in a hurry when I left,

so I forgot my phone.

Do you know how worried I was sitting here all day?

Did you sleep last night?

Yes, I slept.

I slept well.

You don't seem like you slept well.

I just don't understand why you refuse to listen to the doctor's advice

to take the medicine for a good sleep.

You were sent to the hospital before because of a lack of sleep.

You didn't bring your phone.

What if you faint outside?

(- Happy birthday to you. - Happy birthday to you.)

(How are they his relatives?)

(They're heartless.)

(They put sleeping pills in his noodles,)

(then left overnight.)

(Su City Orphanage)

(If they don't want to raise the kid, fine.)

(But why deceived him?)

Forget about the medicine.

Let's think of another way to solve your insomnia.

And the noodles.

No wonder you said you don't like noodles.

You should have told me earlier.

We won't eat noodles anymore.

We'll throw away all the instant noodles.

What else can we eat tonight then?

Do we have anything else at home?

Probably no more food left.

How about we go out to eat?

Sure, let's go.

I'll change clothes.

How is it?

We have a clearer picture now.

Liu Wanlou is Liu Xia's father.

(Court order of Su City People's Court) He abandoned Liu Xia

(Court order of Su City People's Court) and her mother due to debt.

The debt collection company waited outside their house every day.

Zhang Shun used to work for the debt collection company.

(2011 Su City Xifengyuan Residential Area Falling Incident)

Falling incident?

Yes.

Liu Xia's mother couldn't bear the pressure of the debt,

and killed herself by jumping off from a building.

Liu Xia was later adopted by her mother's friends,

the Lian couple.

We still don't know how Zhang Shun found Liu Xia though.

Continue investigating.

Yes.

(Shantang Restaurant)

My mother is an opera actress,

and my father is a sculptor.

The traditional arts in Su City are well-preserved.

So when I was young,

I aspired to become a craftsman like my father.

So here I am,

working as a screenwriter.

Next question.

Don't just ask me.

Tell me about you.

If you win, I'll tell you.

Rock paper scissors.

How are you winning all night long?

Are you implying that I'm cheating in this game?

Alright.

This time,

is it truth or dare?

Truth.

Back then, you didn't want to share a house, right?

So why did you change your mind,

and even want to live with me for a long time?

On my mom's birthday,

my dad and I asked her

what her birthday wish is.

She answered that she wanted to have a house with a big balcony.

So my dad worked hard to earn money,

and bought a house with a balcony.

However,

they died in a car accident

before we could even move in.

After that, my uncle sold that house.

So, I've been hoping to have a house with a balcony.

It is also kind of fulfilling my mom's wish.

So when I entered our shared house that day,

and saw that big balcony,

I was really captivated.

Your steamed fish.

Thank you.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

Let's eat.

It's snowing.

Do you think snow is romantic?

Well, as screenwriters, when the right time comes,

we add a little bit of snow to create a romantic atmosphere.

You screenwriters are amazing.

You can have anything you want

just by typing on the keyboard.

But I've always believed that

anything two people who're in love do is romantic.

Like what?

Like playing rock paper scissors.

By the way,

do you have any tricks for that?

Why do you always win the game?

Take a guess.

Why would I ask if I can guess?

♪Returning with you to a very, very young time♪

Actually, there is a skill called mind reading in psychology.

Mind reading?

Are you kidding me?

You don't believe it?

Of course.

♪You have accompanied me for a long time♪

Okay then.

I'll take scissors this time, and you take paper.

Whoever doesn't follow this is cheating.

Alright?

Here we go.

Rock paper...

Wait a minute.

Don't think.

Here we go.

Rock paper scissors!

♪Have withstood countless cold currents♪

♪It is you who have given me♪

♪The entire universe of tenderness♪

Alright.

This time, you win.

I can see that you can't hold it in anymore.

Just ask it.

It's my turn to ask?

♪We keep walking♪

♪Just like this, keep walking♪

Are you cold?

A little bit.

♪You've been following all along♪

Let's leave it for now.

You're playing unfair.

Dude.

You can't blame me for this.

Let's not talk about whose fault it was.

Just tell me what to do with the 500,000 now.

What else can we do?

Return it as it was.

The plan didn't work out.

You have to give me back the money.

I gave you half the money at that time.

I drank too much.

I feel like throwing up.

Wait!

Where do you think you're going?

You're not throwing up now!

Swallow it back.

I want to return the money to you too.

The problem is I don't have it now.

How come?

Did you spend it all?

Listen. It's almost the end of the year.

A lot of gifting to do.

Now, I only have about 10,000 left.

If you want, I can transfer it now.

Fine.

Why did you buy so many gifts?

Dude, you think you're influential?

If I hadn't sent them gifts,

how could they have given you a project?

How about this?

I'll find you a new project.

Worse comes to worst, I won't take a single penny from the next project.

Is that okay?

Hurry up.

Start the car.

Send me home.

I feel sick from drinking too much.

Get out of the car!

Why?

Get out of the car and go home on your own!

I'm busy.

Get out!

Unbelievable.

You're cheap

and heartless.

You're a jerk!

Since our show receives an excellent viewership,

my superiors decide to make another episode

about psychological counseling.

They'd like you to be the main guest and psychological mentor.

You should know that

the treatment and benefits this time

are completely different.

They have all been increased.

What do you think, Xia?

I'm quite capable, right?

Brother.

Actually, after we finished the last episode,

I've been meaning to tell you that I don't want to continue anymore.

Why not?

It's such a great opportunity.

Why don't you want to do it?

The opportunity is great indeed.

But if I had been doing it for fame and money,

I wouldn't have left Borman in the first place.

After filming the last episode,

I reflected on myself.

No, don't just reflect.

We need to make up for the regrets from last time.

That's not what I meant.

I feel that I should have gained more exposure to different cases.

The show won't get in the way of that.

Our energy is limited.

Actually, you can find other

more experienced and qualified counselors

to be your guests.

Yeah, I can find someone else.

I just thought

why let others reap the benefits?

So, I thought of you.

People go with the flow,

but you want to quit at the peak of your career.

Say what one wants to say,

and do what one wants to do.

I believe that brings the greatest happiness.

You'll support me, right?

Just take some time

(Rendezvous) to think about it.

It's a great opportunity.

Brother.

(SuT36166) Mr. Jia.

You haven't been driving this car for long.

Are you changing cars again?

I've inspected this car.

There's a small scratch above the left rear wheel.

Is that a big deal?

You know.

Buyers are very particular about buying cars nowadays.

They love to negotiate.

A little flaw,

and they would drive a hard bargain.

Lower the price a little more.

More?

You know how much I paid for this car.

I know.

How about this?

I'll share the photos of your car on the Internet first.

Let's see whether anyone shows interest.

If someone inquires about it,

we can negotiate the price again.

What do you think?

Will it slow down the process?

No.

This car is in high demand right now.

Many people like it.

Not to mention there are many wealthy people now.

Mr. Jia.

I'll attend to my business first.

Alright.

Please sell the car soon.

Sure. See you around.

Mr. Qin.

Can you please talk to Mr. Cao again?

Give me some time.

After all, it's two million.

It's not a small amount.

Or maybe,

could you ask Mr. Cao whether it's possible to reduce the amount a bit.

I truly realize my own mistakes.

You should know that

the leak of the script

has caused far more damage to our company than two million.

I understand.

But the fact that you're willing to compensate voluntarily

has surprised both me and Mr. Cao.

I was at fault,

so I have to take responsibility for it.

If it really comes to a lawsuit,

how can I continue to work in this industry?

Actually,

Mr. Cao appreciates your team's creativity,

especially Qi Lianshan.

Mr. Cao values talents, which is well-known in the industry.

Think about it carefully.

This is all my savings.

A total of 300,000.

There's still a huge gap

after we minus the rent

and the 500,000 we returned.

Listen, this might work.

Let's move back to our original studio.

We'll save as much as possible,

and fill the gap first.

No.

I've worked hard to get to this point.

I don't want to go back to where I started.

Difficulties always come one after another.

I can't give up so easily.

You have to believe in me.

You have to stand by my side forever.

Jia Zhen.

Okay.

The weather is really nice.

You've been staying at home lately.

Isn't it good to come out and get some fresh air?

Bro.

I've been coming out often lately.

Is that so?

Here.

Take a look at this.

What is this?

A literary agent contract.

Since we're expanding our studio,

every aspect has to be formalized.

Once we have an investor in the future,

I could show them our best look.

Didn't you say that we don't need this formality?

Did I?

Every time I asked you whether we need to sign a contract,

you said no.

Yes.

We don't need to sign a contract,

but people need to see it.

Like who?

You're doubting me?

Don't sign it then.

No.

I'm not doubting you.

Why would I do that?

I'm only staring at you a little longer than usual,

and you said I doubt you.

Bro, there's something I've been wanting to tell you.

Recently, I helped someone write a movie's screenplay.

A movie?

Qi Lianshan.

What's going on with you?

Bro, you calm down first.

Don't get worked up.

It's Kuan.

Remember when you asked me to join a crew

to help with their lines

and revise the script?

Kuan was staying in the same room as me.

He was the executive director of that play.

Okay.

Stop.

I don't care who this man is.

Just tell me what movie,

and how much did they pay you?

I didn't ask for money or credit.

I was just helping him out.

Just helping him out?

That's interesting.

In this day and age, one would actually help another selflessly.

I find you quite interesting.

Shanshan.

Why have you never helped me out writing a script?

Bro.

Just calm down for a moment.

It's just you told me before that

I'm not allowed to take on side gigs.

Since I didn't ask for money or credit,

it shouldn't count as taking another job, right?

You never said before not to help others.

This time, I was just helping out.

It shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Okay.

Whatever.

You have a lot of friends to help.

No, I...

Initially, it's fine whether you sign this contract or not.

But now, because you always cause these situations, we must sign it.

Here, take it.

You always like to help someone out

without asking for credit or money.

They can take advantage of you!

Being too kind will make you suffer.

Sign it.

I drafted the contract myself.

It's perfect.

You don't need to read it.

There's one part I left empty.

It's the duration of this contract.

How long would you like it to be?

You can decide.

This is not my specialty.

I can't decide on this solely.

You have to decide.

Let's sign for a lifetime.

A lifetime?

The law doesn't recognize that.

You need to give a specific number.

How about 100 years?

We will be long gone then.

Right.

Alright, how about this?

Let's sign for 30 years, okay?

Thirty years.

I'll be 60 after 30 years.

I should still be able to write.

Alright, let's go with 30 years then.

Where do I sign?

Which page?

The last page.

I left it blank for you.

The last page.

Alright.

Right here?

Okay.

(Party A: Jia Zhen Screenwriting Studio) (Party B: Qi Lianshan)

Alright.

Done!

Bro, take me out for a meal.

Alright?

Let's go.

Let's go, bro!

Coming.

Why were you standing there still?

Let's go.

What are you treating me to this time?

What do you want to eat?

Let's have noodles.

It must be better than the last place we went.

You tricked me last time.

You're back.

Wash your hands and eat.

I've already eaten.

But I can accompany you for another meal.

That would be nice.

By the way,

someone sent you a same-day delivery that contains an invitation.

Take a look.

It's here.

An invitation?

Yep.

Where is it?

I put it on the table.

The invitation is for me?

Yep.

It looks quite nice.

(Invitation letter for Chasing the Wind)

This is what I told you before.

I wrote a script for a friend I met on the set.

It's made into a movie now.

Today at 10:00 PM.

It's a preview screening!

So soon?
