[The Outsider]

[Episode 23]

Wang Ju'an is a decent guy.

He's attentive and considerate.

And he doesn't put on airs.

No wonder people say
that truly well-mannered people

make others comfortable.

He did a great job.

You know what?

The gifts he bought for my parents

are obviously premium things.

My parents accepted them without knowing that.

I can't really take them.

Why bother thinking so much?

It's normal for him.

But it's not normal for me.

My mom even secretly asked me,

"Is this bag worth two or three thousand yuan?"

I don't know how to answer.

Come on.

She's Wang Ju'an's future mother-in-law.

Of course he should buy something good.

You're right. If it's too cheap,
it doesn't match his status.

But it made me uneasy
after accepting such expensive gifts.

Stop overthinking.

After you're married in the future,

what's his is yours.

Why do you need to divide things so clearly?

We've only been dating for a short time.

How can we talk about marriage?

No, I have to return those things to him.

No, if you refuse his good intentions like that,

it'll hurt his feelings.

You should think of a way

to let him know that you understand

what's in his heart.

Or else it'll be tiring for him
to be mindful of your fragile heart

all the time.

I don't have a fragile heart.

They're leaving this weekend? So soon?

Why not stay a few more days and have fun?

After seeing I'm doing well,

they feel relieved.

Besides, my dad has to attend

his former classmate's son's wedding
this weekend.

I'll ask Tianyu to buy them first-class tickets.

No need, we bought the tickets already.

Okay, send me the flight number.

I'll see them off this weekend.

It's almost time.

Is it time to go now?

I'll be done soon.

Su Mo,

Wang sure is considerate.

He still comes to see us off
when he's busy with work.

That's right. You don't have to come either.

You need to focus on your work.

How can I do that?

You only stayed for a few days.

I haven't spent enough time with you.

No, I have to go.

Okay, then.

Hello?

I'm at home.

The door?

I wonder if Wang is here.

Tianyu, why are you here?

Well, Mr. Wang...

-He has...
-Hey...

Hello, Mrs. Su.

I'm Mr. Wang's assistant

and Su Mo's colleague.

Mr. Wang has a meeting at the last minute.

So he can't make it here.

We can go to the airport first.

He'll meet us at the airport.

Sorry for troubling you.

It's nothing.

Su Mo, Mr. Wang specifically asked me
to come and see you off.

Madam, if you're not done packing,

I can help you with it.

It's okay. You don't have to.

-It's okay.
-We can do it ourselves.

Thank you, then.

Is this packed?

Su Mo, we know Wang is busy with work.

Call him and tell him

not to rush.

Yes, work is important.

Let's get going.

Then we'll leave now.

-Okay.
-All right.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

It's no problem.

Let's go.

You didn't leave anything behind, right?

I'll carry this one.

Okay.

[Su Mo]

Hello?

I've already helped them check in.

Where are you now?

I'm on my way.

I'm rushing to you now.

Don't worry, take your time.

I'm not sure if I can make it in time.

Drive slowly and stay safe, okay?

Okay.

The traffic is bad.

He's on his way here.

Here, the boarding passes are ready.

It's all right. We never expected him
to see us off anyway.

[Transfer]

[Su Mo]

I need to take this call.

Hello?

Help me give your parents this money.

Consider it a token of appreciation.

You'll scare them if you do this.

What's there to be scared of?

Your parents are in urgent need of money, right?

I have to go now. The traffic is moving. Bye.

Is everything okay?

Ju'an can't make it.

It's okay, we know he's busy.

One more thing, Su Mo.

You're as impatient as me.

Think about it, how many people in this world

are as patient as your dad?

So,

you should learn to control your emotions a bit.

Otherwise, there'll be conflicts
in your relationship.

Okay. Let's go now.

You have to board soon.

What your mom is trying to say

is that our family is peaceful

because of my good temper.

Is that right?

You're so full of yourself.

Mo,

we've stayed here for so many days.

We still need to say something before we leave.

First, work hard.

Second, don't settle for less
when it comes to your relationship.

Got it, don't worry about me.

Also,

avoid eating cold food and staying up late.

All right, I know. You have to go now.

Stop nagging already.

All right.

Didn't you give them the money?

You've already given them gifts.

So you can keep the money.

Your father just had surgery,

and there are many expenses to cover.

My father is someone

who doesn't take an extra penny from others.

Giving him money would be like insulting him.

I didn't mean that.

Please don't misunderstand.

I know that. So I'll transfer the money back to you.

No need, keep it for yourself.

Use it when you need it.

(If you refuse his good intentions like that,
it'll hurt his feelings.)

(You should think of a way)

(to let him know that you understand)

(what's in his heart.)

(Or else it'll be tiring for him
to be mindful of your fragile heart)

(all the time.)

All right, you said it.

I'll spend it if I need to.

I won't tell you about it.

Of course, is there any problem?

I just wanted to confirm
in case you change your mind.

What do you want to do?

I want to eat something, so drive faster.

Yes, ma'am.

Wang Jian, why do you have so many parcels?

I've signed them all for you.

Parcels?

-Over here.
-But I didn't buy anything.

Don't you know what you bought?

You're such a blockhead.

Look at this.

Tie clip.

[Recipient: Mr. Wang]

Belt.

Tie.

Obviously, it's not my style.

Who's Mr. Wang? Please sign here.

Let me see.

Wang Ju'an.

It's yours.

Be careful.

Be careful, slow down.

Watch out for the step.

Steady, steady.

Are you crazy?

No, it's not mine.

[Wang Ju'an]

What's this?

It's a massage chair.

Ju'an, are you taking care of your health now?

Here, open it up and see.

Here, unpack it.

Hello?

Mr. Wang, have you received your package?

Do you like the color?

So you bought it.

Where should we place this?

Living room. No, bedroom.

Clearly, it's better to put it in the living room.

Everyone can use it
if you put it in the living room.

Put it in the living room, please.

Please move it...

The living room, please.

Move it to the first room on the left upstairs.

Quickly.

The living room is better.

I have my hands full. I'll talk to you later.

Ju'an, you shouldn't be selfish.

Hello?

Is the massage chair installed?

I'm already enjoying it.

Just put it in the living room, okay?

That way, Wang Jian can also use it.

You make it sound like I'm very selfish.

I've always behaved reasonably.

Since you bought it for me,

it's only natural that I alone can enjoy it.

They can buy one themselves
if they want to use it.

You sure are calculative.

Listen.

This massage chair

has a temperature control function
and four-hand massage.

Just spend 15 minutes using it
before bedtime.

It's especially relaxing.

I even went to the physical store
to experience it myself.

I almost fell asleep while testing it.

What else did you buy?

I also bought a set of golf clubs.

It'll be delivered tomorrow.

So you spent all that money on me?

Not really.

I bought myself a bag.

The style that I like.

You said I could buy what I need.

So I bought everything that's needed.

So now,

I really need you to put aside your work

and take a break for a while.

Are you happy

with how the money was spent?

Yes.

I'm glad you're happy.

You still haven't heard from Mo?

Please take a seat.

To be honest,

I don't want to know where she is.

I only want to know

if she keeps in touch with you all.

She doesn't even

have any family members she can rely on.

After what had happened,

I can't imagine

how she must be feeling right now

if she doesn't have a single friend around.

Do you understand what I mean?

Have you always been thinking about her?

Occasionally.

Yes, I often think of her.

Let me ask you something.

If you could see her again,

would you want to be with her?

Could you accept her family?

Would you change

your standards for a partner because of her?

Don't move.

Stay put.

You better behave.

Sit still!

Just so you know,

I have connections in Shanghai, you know.

Don't think I can't do anything

just because we're in Sichuan.

If you try to kill me,

you won't be able to escape.

Even if you turn me into sausage

or even Mala sausage, it will be useless.

So, I suggest you

be smart

and let me go.

No, sir! No.

I... I didn't see your face.

Lift your head!

No, sir...

Song Tianlin,

open your eyes and see who I am.

Mom?

What...

Which mother would treat her child like this?

Untie me.

Li, untie him.

Look at you.

Remove the makeup at once.

And this Hanfu,

I want you to take it off right now!

What is this now?

I was shopping for fabrics in Sichuan.

My son should be studying in Japan now.

Even if he's back in the country,

shouldn't he visit his mom first?

There's a Hanfu exhibition next month

that I must join.

I've thought it through.

Pursuing a Ph.D. is simply not suitable for me.

I've made up my mind to study Hanfu.

Song Tianlin!

How much longer do you want to fool around?

I'm not fooling around.

See this Hanfu? Beautiful, isn't it?

I made it myself.

More and more people like Hanfu nowadays.

Just give me a little more time,

and I can definitely let Hanfu culture

take root and flourish in our country.

Let Hanfu culture become popular
throughout China.

Do you know what you're doing?

You're daydreaming.

Why won't you believe me?

How about this?

We'll make a written agreement today.

If I can't accomplish it,

I'm willing to face any punishment.

You can choose any punishment you want.

All right.

Such determination.

All right, then. From today on,

don't expect a single penny from me.

You can try and support yourself on your own.

Why are you always like this?

Why do you use the money

to threaten me all the time?

Can't you try something different?

Be more creative.

Fine, take it.

Take them all.

Money and cards are all here.

Take them all back, happy?

From today on,

we'll go our separate ways.

Don't interfere in my affairs,

and I won't interfere in yours.

Where are you going?

Why do you care? I have plenty of friends!

Here.

Have some soup.

Thank you, Ms. Liu.

Ms. Liu,

your cooking is much better
than our helper's at home.

This sweet and sour spare ribs dish is my savior.

Then have some more.

What a handsome ancient-style man.

Tianlin,

your costume looks

more feminine than a woman's.

How long has it been since we last met?

Three years.

Three years, four months, and seven days.

I should have let him teach me math.

When I was in India,

I studied meditation.

Meditation

can clear your mind

and enhance your memory.

But no matter how clear it is,

I can't be compared to An
when it comes to running a business.

An, I wonder

if you're interested in making an investment.

For example, investing in the clothing business.

Clothing business?

What happened to the studio you used to run?

The studio went bankrupt, right?

As someone who experienced
a limit-down in stock investment

and lose the money investing in the O2O model,

you shouldn't ridicule me.

Song Tianlin,

I'm a few years older than you.

You should address me politely.

There are a few things.
I don't know whether to say them or not.

Then keep it to yourself.

Tianlin, you haven't changed one bit.

You're still as straightforward.

I get you, I really do.

Your dedication to Hanfu

is similar to my dedication to acting.

You're learning acting?

Yeah.

How about I act a role for you?

Your acting and my Hanfu

are not on the same level at all.

You can't say that.

One shouldn't have double standards.

Why should my acting be inferior to your Hanfu?

Because I go all out for Hanfu.

I give my all for my dreams. Do you?

Enough.

Tianlin,

why can't you just settle down

and find a suitable position and work at Ansheng?

Work?

But my biggest dream is not to work.

I want to focus on my Hanfu business.

We grew up together.

Put aside my dad and your mom's friendship.

I treat you no different from Wang Jian.

We're family.

Ms. Zhang is the biggest shareholder in Ansheng.

Haven't you ever thought

about easing her burden a bit?

An, you've changed.

Your words reminded me

of Shanghai in the 30s.

It's not like our family has a throne to inherit.

Ansheng is not our family business.

Please don't be so old-fashioned.

Let me continue to be proud of you, okay?

Okay. But I remember when you left

three years ago, you promised

that if you couldn't make a name for yourself,

you would come back and work obediently.

An,

I'm really different from back then.

I have over ten thousand followers
on my Tik Tok account.

My research and development team

are all die-hard fans of Hanfu.

They are a group of young people
who are willing to work hard for their dreams.

We have gathered together this time

to do this business well

and carry on the Hanfu culture.

You have dreams.

But what is the level of brand recognition
for your Hanfu?

What is your annual sales revenue?

What about your market share?

If you continue to make losses,

has the loss rate decreased compared to before?

If you don't even know

about these things as a brand founder,

I'm sorry to tell you that this isn't a dream,

but wishful thinking.

If you want others' support,

you need to convince people with data.

It won't help if you keep going

against your mother like this.

I have an idea, so listen.

It's a good thing to have ambitions.

But you need to learn how to manage first.

If you have no objections,

come to the CEO's Office
and work with me for a while.

I thought you would help me.

At least you can help convince my mother.

But I didn't expect you to be like my mother,

refusing to accept new ideas.

If you want me to be on your side,

it's not impossible.

But at least

you need to show me your abilities.

I'll prove that all these...

Anyone can talk big without any cost these days.

There are plenty of people

who act willfully
without considering the consequences.

Tianlin, your biggest problem

is that you want independence and freedom

without taking up the responsibilities
of independence.

Wang Jian's words make sense.

You can't have double standards.

Actually, you don't need to prove anything
to have aspirations.

Just prove that you can support yourself.

Are you kidding me?

I've traveled almost the entire Silk Road
on my own.

You did it with your mother's money.

Tianlin,

we're quite similar in this regard.

One night.

I'll give you one night.

If you make 1,000 yuan, it's considered a pass.

After that?

If you succeed,

I'll invest ten million yuan in your Hanfu studio.

That's generous of you.

An, if I fail,

I'll learn management from you obediently.

When you made a promise...

I won't take it back.

Tianlin, I've set up everything for you.

Just so you know, one of my male classmates

made a year's worth of pocket money
in one night doing this.

Is he an internet celebrity?

How can I compare with him?

It was the other way around.

He wasn't an internet celebrity before.

But he became one by doing this.

I'm promoting Hanfu.

Can it be the same?

With this setup,

I feel like I'm performing on the street.

It's better than having a fallout with Ms. Zhang

and selling your kidney.

Have a little faith in yourself.

In this day and age,
you have to take risks in life.

All right.

I'll play the music.

Action!

Tianlin, someone gave you a rocket as a gift.

Keep doing it.

Beautiful.

Keep it coming.

Give it your all.

No, don't come near me.

Don't touch me.

My back.

Look at what you've done.

What kind of terrible idea was that?

I didn't expect it to turn out this way.

What could you expect?

Don't just stand there.

Go and check on him.

Okay.

It was all your fault for telling him
to make 1,000 yuan.

Or else I wouldn't have
forced him to do a live stream.

What are you mumbling about, huh?

Don't touch me.

Here we go.

An, I thought

I was good enough
after learning from my dance teacher.

I didn't expect the last move to be that difficult.

I...

I lost.

I admit defeat.

But my Hanfu...

You'll continue with your Hanfu dreams.

You must work at Ansheng too.

You don't get it. My mom won't agree with it.

I'll persuade your mom.

You must keep your word.

One more thing,

I don't want to argue
with my mom every day at home.

I want to move in with you.

That's easy.
Choose any room upstairs or downstairs.

Really?

What are you doing?

I know a bit about bone setting.

You do? Wait, are you serious?

Bear with it, okay?

What are you doing? Take him to the hospital now.

Help me out here.

It won't affect your work?

Just let him stay in the CEO's Office.

How much of an impact can it have?

But let me say this first.

You have only one year.

If it's still in deficit,

you'll have to give up on it completely.

Fine, I'll do it. I'm not scared.

It's decided, then.

I'll have someone clear out
the small study at home

and turn it into a studio for Tianlin.

I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble

just for his sake.

And he's had such a big fuss at your place.

It's nothing. Tianlin is like a brother to me,

just like Wang Jian.

What on earth is Ju'an thinking?

Song Tianlin, that effeminate guy,

can accomplish something by playing with Hanfu?

I'm not convinced at all.

Are you upset?

No, I'm happy.

I get it.

Get it? What do you know?

Don't be so petty.

Ju'an still cares about you.

Siwei, stay still.

Wait, turn your head to the other side.

Yes, this angle.

Exceptionally handsome.

Just like me.

What nonsense is that? We're siblings,

you brat.

But speaking of our eldest brother,

he doesn't look anything like us.

Well, he doesn't look like our mom.

He doesn't even look like Dad.

He doesn't resemble Mom and Dad at all.

He looks like a foreigner.

Look at his stature.

He doesn't resemble anyone in our family.

Yeah, you're right.

But when it comes to height, I do resemble him.

But you're...

I'll kick you.

Okay, chill.

Look at these eyebrows.

This jawline

and

that fatally handsome 45-degree angle.

But why doesn't Ju'an look like us at all?

Is it this angle?

Almost. It's this angle. Look.

Yeah, it's pretty similar.

It'll spill.

An, you're so efficient.

It has only been a few days.

And you've set up the place.

How much time can it take for such a small place?

I've kept my word.

Now, it's time for you to fulfill your obligation.

Don't worry.

Hello.

Hello.

Wait.

Is this the CEO's Office?

Who are you looking for?

I'm here to see An.

An?

Are you in the wrong place?

An told me to come here.

He's at the right place.

I'm that An he speaks of.

Why did you come dressing like this?

What do you mean?

The company has a rule
that you can't wear unconventional clothes.

You have to wear formal attire to work.

But this is my formal attire.

What's wrong?

You can wear formal Western attires.

But it's not allowed
to wear our formal Chinese attires?

Discrimination.

Don't label me like that.

You can't wear this.

Even if you're the CEO,

you need to convince me with reason.

Or else,

I'd rather die than surrender.

The outfit you're wearing
is not the everyday attire for work.

Instead, it's a ceremonial attire
for festive occasions.

What's wrong with ceremonial attire?

Even Westerners

don't wear ceremonial attire to work every day.

It's like girls

wearing wedding dresses to work.

If you want to do so,

you can.

Girls fantasize

about wearing wedding dresses

because wedding dresses
hold a special meaning for them.

If they can casually wear them

to work every day,

the wedding dress loses its meaning.

When we say something is not suitable,

it doesn't mean it's bad.

It's because of its goodness

that we treasure it even more.

You...

have a point.

If she does, why don't you quickly

change out of these clothes?

I don't have any other clothes.

Fine.

Let me make a formal introduction.

This is Song Tianlin, Ms. Zhang's son.

We grew up together.

He'll be working with us for a while.

This is Tianyu, my assistant.

And this is Su Mo.

Hello.

Tianyu, find him a desk

and some everyday documents for him to read

and learn from.

Su Mo,

you'll be supervising him

in his daily work, scheduling,

and completing tasks.

Make sure to keep a close eye on him for me.

Okay.

Later, show him around

to familiarize himself
with the different departments

and get to know the daily work
of the CEO's Office.

Now, take him to the mall to buy a few clothes

and change out of this attire.

Okay.

We've pretty much looked around.

How do you feel?

An is really amazing.

Compared to the previous Ansheng Plaza,

this is on a completely different level.

Oh, by the way,

what did An say your name was again?

I'm Su Mo.

"Su", as in the branches supporting the fallen,

and "Mo", as in sharing the same fate?

Many people ask me

if it's "Mo" as in "soap foam".

What do they know?

Su Mo,

why don't you join our studio

and make Hanfu with us?

Mr. Song, you think too highly of me.

I better stay as an executive assistant.

I'm not someone with any title.

That makes me sound old.

Just call me Tianlin,

as An does.

An won't be back in the office
in the afternoon, right?

He has a crucial function to attend to.

That's great.

I want to take you somewhere.

I can't skip work.

An's task for you is to supervise me well.

Since you're supervising,
you must see it through to the end.

Let's go.

This is my studio.

Watch the steps.

These several pieces are samples.

I'm still modifying them.

Ah, this one.

This is the one I told you about.

My latest design, the Celestial series,

incorporated elements
from Dunhuang and the Silk Road.

Can I touch them?

Sure, go ahead.

These are all made of real silk.

Of course.

I would never use

those cheap synthetic materials.

And these are not machine-woven.

You have a keen eye.

I knew bringing you here was the right choice.

They can't tell the difference at all.

Come over here.

These two pieces here

are Shu Brocades I found in Sichuan.

And these three

are Lushan Silk from Henan.

These three are impressive.

They're Etles silks

from the Silk Road.

The texture is indeed unique.

These fabrics are all made by hand

using ancient techniques.

Each fabric goes through more than thirty steps,

including steaming, silk reeling,
warping, and wefting.

Each piece of fabric has its own vitality.

Thank you.

You really know a lot about fabrics.

No wonder

you were staring at my scarf earlier.

Is your scarf also
made using ancient silk techniques?

It was given to me by a friend of my dad's.

You know such impressive people.

Su Mo,

you must introduce me to him.

I need this kind of fabric.

Unfortunately, he stopped working

because of his health.

Does he have any successors or something?

Nowadays, young people

are not interested in this.

They find it hard and tiring.

So nobody is willing to learn it.

What a pity.

Such good craftsmanship is lost like this.

If you like it,

I can give you this scarf.

I have another one.

Really?

Yes.

Nowadays, there aren't many people like you
who appreciate

traditional craftsmanship.

You're considered his kindred spirit.

He would be happy for sure.

Then I'll accept it.

How about this? I'll personally make a Hanfu

for you.

I can't accept such Hanfu from you.

It must be expensive.

This one is not that expensive.

It's around thirty to forty thousand yuan.

This one.

This one

is 70,000 yuan.

That's even more expensive.

Starting at one hundred thousand yuan.

This is only the cost of materials, right?

Of course.

As for my production and crafting costs,

those are priceless.

Would anyone buy

such expensive clothes?

It's vulgar.

Making money is always secondary.

What I'm doing

is art.

My design sketches.

When I have new clothes next time,

I'll take you here and show you.

His studio is downstairs.

Downstairs?

An?

Tianlin.

Mom, why are you here?

I'm here to check out your studio.

At the same time,

I want to see if you're a nuisance to them.

Me?

Ms. Su, do you know her?

Hello, Ms. Zhang.

We've met several times at the office.

I heard that the VVIP proposal

was your idea.

Ms. Zhang, forgive my ignorance.

My idea was still in the early stages at the time.

Fortunately, Mr. Wang helped improve it.

Ms. Su is too modest.

The project was a success

because of her efforts.

Why are you here at this hour?

I dragged her here.

I wanted Ms. Su to check out my studio.

Since everyone is already here,

let's have dinner at my place.

I happen to want to know more about you, Ms. Su.

I heard it's very inspiring.

I'm afraid I have to decline.

I still have some matters
to attend to at the company.

So I have to go back.

Ah, yes.

Don't push her too much.

It just so happens I need to go to the office.

I can give you a ride.

Let's go.

Tianlin,

show your mom your studio.

Come again.

(Why is Tianlin's studio at your house?)

(It was so awkward just now.)

Hold it right there. What did you just call him?

Tianlin?

Are you really that close already?

He's still a kid.

Don't tell me you're jealous of a kid.

Why would I be jealous?

You accompanied him to have fun
during work hours.

Now, you're blaming me for being jealous?

You told me to keep an eye on him.

Isn't this part of my job?

You don't have to be concerned
about Tianlin anymore.

I'll let Tianyu do it.

Your place is so near to Ms. Zhang's.

We bought the houses together back then

because we always hung out with each other.

Tianlin has been very close to me and my brothers.

During his rebellious phase,
he would come to our house

whenever he ran away from home.

His rebellious phase has lasted quite long.

He has always been so willful.

Once he sets his mind on something,

he jumps on it without hesitation,

disregarding other people's feelings.

I don't think that's being willful.

Being stubborn for the sake of one's dream,

isn't that a great thing?

Is it?

He has been overly protected.

Being the only son in the family,

he doesn't need to compete or fight for anything.

He doesn't even need to prove himself.

No matter what he does,

there will be people
who clean up the mess for him.

So he does whatever he wants.

Not necessarily.

Wang Jian has two older brothers,

and his personality is similar to Tianlin's.

Isn't Wang Jian the most favored one
in our family?

As long as he was around,

Siwei and I had to step aside

in front of our parents.

Ms. Zhang, Su Mo is here.

Ms. Zhang, you wanted to see me?

Actually, it's nothing.

I just wanted to talk to you.

I'm afraid you might feel restricted
if it were in the office.

So I asked to meet you here.

Thank you, Ms. Zhang.

Before you came to Ansheng,

you worked as a salesgirl, right?

Yes, I worked there for less than a year.

Based on your performance at the CEO's Office

as well as your education and qualifications,

you're doing very well.

It's thanks to the support and guidance
from Mr. Wang and Ms. Cong.

I don't think it's as simple as guidance

to get you back from Shang Chun.

Ms. Zhang, you can be direct with me.

Are you curious about the direction
of my career development

or...

No, it's not that.

I just wanted to have a chat with you

and talk about my son while at it.

I see.

I'm sure you've heard

of my son's ridiculous actions.

I have heard some.

But I don't think Tianlin's actions

are ridiculous.

He's a person with dreams.

But he always has all those excuses

and keeps making mistakes
and refusing to admit them.

Given your position and status,

you can give him more room for trial and error.

Room for trial and error?

Not everyone has the opportunity to do so.

Since Tianlin has it,

why waste it?

I've always believed

that when most people focus their work goals

solely on making money,

some people can turn their interests

into their work.

That's lucky.

It's truly interesting

to be having this conversation with you.

I also want to hear about your dreams.

Dreams

are too luxurious for me.

I'm a prisoner of reality.

I just want to make more money while I'm young.

I'll be satisfied as long as I live the way I like

in the future.

I appreciate your frankness.

Have you ever thought

about becoming the version of yourself
that you love the most

through Tianlin?

Just like that term young people use nowadays,

"counterattack", right?

Then I'll be more straightforward.

I never thought of that.

Nice. I like your honesty.
