[Be Your Own Light]

[Episode 19]

For girls, put your left...

After the class, you help Ms. He

with the onboarding procedures.

All right.

Let me demonstrate.

Watch me.

[Jiangdu Youth Palace]

Goodbye.

Bye, Ms. He.

Bye, Ms. He.

Bye.

Bye, Ms. He.

[Renhe New Town]

You ate a lot.

Thank you so much for today.

Okay, let's meet up again

some other day.

We'll ask them all out

and have a gathering again.

-Excuse. -We'll have to rest early.

Is 8939 your last four digits?

Here!

Come over.

Stop playing. Get the kid in the car.

[Xingyan Designated Driver Service] Let's go home.

What are you waiting for?

Don't scratch the car

when you put your bike in.

Thank you.

Hold on. Let me get a bottle of water.

Have we met somewhere before?

You're confusing me with someone else.

Alright, we've got into the car.

We'll be home soon.

Trust me. I'll prepare the things

you need tonight.

No problem.

Zihan, you need to go to bed once we get home.

No more games. Do you hear me?

Don't bother about that.

Just start the car.

Hi, my staff number is 0723.

This is my badge.

I'm glad to serve you.

-Okay. -Heading to the Classic Apartment Complex?

That's right. Let's go now.

You're Ou Zimo's mother.

Zihan, this is your classmate's mother.

She is a famous TV presenter.

I think you're drunk.

-Zihan... -How could

a designated driver be a presenter?

See if this is Ou Zimo's mother?

Are you done?

Is this your classmate's mother?

Knock it off.

She comes out to work as a chauffeur late at night.

It's not easy.

Can you show some respect?

Zihan, give your mom some water.

Sorry, she had a few drinks.

We'll get going now.

Okay.

Let's go.

No rush. You can drive slowly.

She is Ou Zimo's mother.

No, say no more.

She is.

She is not.

I didn't expect you to be Zimo's mother.

-This is so... -Shut up.

I told you

we've got the wrong person.

-She is not. -Let's talk about art.

We're all parents. It's fine.

Zihan says she is.

Don't interrupt when the adults are talking.

She is not.

What's wrong?

This is just parents chatting.

Ms. He,

why are you working as a designated driver?

I get it.

Presenters and actors are both in show business.

They're similar.

Are you going to act in a show?

A crossover and to experience life.

I totally get it.

I used

to be skinny

and almost got

into this industry.

We could've been colleagues.

Actually, we can exchange our views.

I think the presenters

of my company events are bad.

I can do better than them.

Give me some tips.

I told you she is not.

She is not?

I'm sorry.

Well,

I've mistook you for someone else.

[Exit]

Let's talk about it at home.

The kid recognized her.

She works as a designated driver. Of course she won't tell you so.

When we go back home,

Go straight to bed, okay?

Thank you for using Xingyan Designated Driver Service.

If you're happy with my service,

please give me five stars.

Have a good day.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Wait a minute.

Everyone is using mobile payment.

But I have some cash on me.

Take it as...

The fee has already been paid.

But we think you drive really well.

Take it as a tip.

No.

We're not allowed

to accept tips. Thanks.

Take it.

Thank you. Goodbye.

Just take it.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's beautiful.

See, I keep my word.

This is the best gift I've ever received.

Thank you.

Hello, Mom.

Yes, I swiped the card.

I've bought myself something.

Alright, I know.

Your mom asked you

about the card again?

Yes.

[Chow Tai Fook]

Why didn't you tell her

you bought me a diamond ring?

I didn't have the chance to tell her about this yet.

When are you going to tell them?

After a couple of days.

When will that be?

Give me a heads-up.

So I can prepare in advance.

My dad is busy pooling funds

these days.

I'm going to tell him formally

when he is free.

Okay, roughly when?

I've bought you the ring.

I won't run away. Don't worry.

Okay.

Thank you.

[5G New Era]

Tingting, how are you doing?

Really?

Zimo!

Zimo!

What are you doing?

Zimo.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

I especially come to pick you up.

But you...

What's wrong?

Did the teacher scold you?

Did you fight with your classmates?

Can you not be a designated driver?

How do you know about that?

Feng Zihan told me.

She said we're broke

and in need of relief.

Qin Siqi and the others also look down on me,

saying that we're poor people.

Mom.

Quit your job as a designated driver.

Okay?

Are you hungry?

Yes.

Do you need to eat then?

If I don't work hard,

how will you have food?

Don't you have a salary?

That's for paying our debts.

I don't have extra money.

I don't want to be poor.

I want Dad to come back now.

I want our money back.

Ou Zimo, let me tell you.

None of this will come back.

No!

Go ahead and cry.

Just cry it all out!

Are you done crying?

Are you done crying?

Yes.

Zimo.

Our old days

may forever be gone.

But we can bring back

our happiness and joy

in the past.

How?

Look.

There are meat floss

and ham in it.

Also, your favorite corn.

Is it tasty?

Yes.

Do you feel better?

Much better.

Eat more.

Any other things that make you happy lately?

Yes.

Big Brother taught me a few hand signals.

This is big fire.

What?

This is small fire.

And this is stir fry.

Then this is dish up.

And then, this is well done today.

Well done today.

Well done.

You see.

Actually, it's easy to be happy, right?

And you know,

happiness is the most precious thing

in the world.

No money can buy it.

But they all laugh at me.

They are just childish kids.

They know nothing.

The most precious thing

in the world is happiness.

Of course,

there is

a very important lesson

that you can't learn in a classroom.

What lesson?

To be courageous and strong

when facing ridicule and difficulties.

This is something you need to learn.

I'm also learning it now.

How about this?

Let's have a competition

and see who has the higher score.

Okay?

Okay.

Let's go.

Take another bite.

Here.

But now, let's see

who'll run home first.

Three, two, one, start.

Go.

[Jiangdu Broadcasting & TV Station]

Looking for me?

My great producer, Ms. Bai, please sit down.

What's the matter?

There is a business dinner tonight and you have to attend it.

You know I never go to business dinners.

I know you will say this.

The client specifically asked for you

and insisted that you go.

Who is it?

Tang Shaohuai, CEO of DaDi Real Estate.

DaDi?

What do they want?

Firstly, they want to ease the tension with us.

Secondly,

they want to meet you

to discuss future collaboration.

I exposed them,

yet they want a collaboration?

They hope

to pick themselves up

from where they fell.

Precisely because you exposed them,

they want you to witness the revival

of DaDi Real Estate yourself.

I'm not interested.

You have to go.

Why?

After you exposed them,

they threatened

that they'd never put ads on our channel.

But after Zhao Yuanyuan's mediated,

their attitude changed.

How come she is everywhere?

Alright.

They're already showing a lofty stance now.

Shouldn't we

play along?

Why don't you go?

You can play along better.

The problem can only be fixed by the one who caused it.

You are the best person to do this.

You want to apologize to them.

I'm not asking you to apologize,

but to grovel a little.

Just fire me.

Bai Yang.

Are you aware of

the current financial situation of our channel?

I heard a little.

Our ad revenue has started

to decline since the previous year.

The management has thought of many solutions.

However,

we can't even cover our expenses last month.

I know it's not easy to sell ads now.

But

is it so bad?

This is the reason why this month's wages are delayed.

Bai Yang, if you were a normal reporter,

I wouldn't ask you to socialize with them.

But you're the producer of a program.

It's not a big deal

to suffer some grievances once in a while

for your staff.

Let me think about it.

[News in Progress]

Let me tell you.

Bai Yang insisted

on exposing the client.

As a result, the client

pulled out ads worth millions in anger.

That's why we didn't get paid today.

Why is she so obstinate?

She's always like this.

What benefit will she get from this?

Benefit?

She'll get a lot.

Ranked No. 1 in the comprehensive evaluation and get praised by managers.

It'll fast-track her career.

Doesn't she need the salary?

She doesn't care.

She's more than 30 years old

and she doesn't even have a boyfriend.

Isn't she an old maid?

She's unmarried and childless.

She doesn't have financial stress.

But what about us who have a family?

The superior while the interiors suffer.

Tong,

I can go to the hotpot restaurant opening

you mentioned last time.

No choice.

I haven't received my salary.

I'll accept any job.

Okay, I'll go live first.

Hey,

Bai Yang didn't go mad. Is it because she's guilty?

Guilty.

Get back to work.

Why are you keep

talking about money?

I can do nothing if they don't pay my wage.

Whatever.

You can be with whoever you like.

Geez,

she never stops nagging me.

Ms. Bai.

If a girl is willing to start a family with you,

you should cherish her.

You'll get your pay in a few days.

Explain it to her when you go home.

Okay, I got it.

Sorry, Ms. Bai.

[Mr. Zou] [I'll go to the dinner.]

I'll look into this.

If the students laugh at Zimo

and ostracize him

because you're a designated driver

like you said,

don't worry,

we'll lecture and educate them.

Thank you, Ms. Deng.

Ms. He,

may I ask

if your family's financial situation

will improve soon?

Do you have any concerns?

No, don't get me wrong.

In fact, I personally

admire you a lot.

But there's indeed a problem

with your family's financial situation.

What is the problem?

How should I put it?

Let me share this with you.

Actually, I come from

a humble family.

When I was in first grade,

my parents transferred me to a private school

due to work.

I'd been a transfer student for half a year.

The teachers and classmates

were good to me.

But I felt

that there was a financial gap

between my family and my classmates,

which caused me

to feel greatly inferior.

I understand your concern.

Are you worried that Zimo

will become inferior due to the changes

in our financial situation?

Rest assured.

I'll create an environment that fosters equality

to help them establish a positive value.

But as a teacher,

I have my limit.

I don't want something like this to happen.

So I hope you can pay attention

to this problem.

I understand.

[Happy Reading] Dear students,

[Happy Reading] after finding out the answer,

you can come to me

and tell me the answer.

Then I'll give you the prize.

Yes?

[Knowledge changes destiny,] Fuxi, Suiren, Shennong.

[reading brings positive energy] Excellent, give him applause.

Here.

This is for you.

Who else knows the answer?

Me.

Dear students,

if you know the answer,

you can go there

and say your answer

to claim the gifts.

Do you have any questions?

[The 5th Happy Reading Autumn Reading Festival] No.

[The 5th Happy Reading Autumn Reading Festival] No questions?

No.

Who doesn't have the card?

We all have it.

Okay.

My mom.

Just a second.

Mom, who are the Three Sovereigns?

Fuxi, Suiren and Shennong.

Ma'am, what about the Five Emperors?

Yellow Emperor, Yao, Shun,

Zhuan Xu, and Di Ku.

Thank you, ma'am.

Guys, do you have any questions?

No.

[Classics recitation enriches childhood;] Okay, work hard to find your...

[Chinese poetry shines on life] Sir, I know the answer.

Okay, tell me

who are the Three Sovereigns?

It refers to Shennong, Suiren and Fuxi.

Excellent.

Let's give Zimo applause.

Amazing.

Andi, tell me.

Who are the Five Emperors?

Yellow Emperor, Yao, Shun.

Zhuan Xu, Di Ku.

Excellent.

Here, take this.

You can redeem your prizes there.

Thank you, Sir.

One person each.

Sir, I know the answer.

Tell me.

Pikachu.

Amazing.

You're all amazing.

Do you know the answer?

Great.

You don't have the card, right?

-Have a look. -Do you know the answer?

I don't know.

Next.

Can we ask your mother?

Can we ask your mother?

Okay, go ahead.

Let's go.

This is Shasha.

This is Linlin.

This is Lili.

Hi.

Hi, ma'am.

May I ask who are the Greatest Sage and the Second Sage?

The Greatest Sage is Confucius.

The Second Sage is Mencius.

Hi, ma'am.

May I ask

what is the next line of "In my ears are the sound of wind,

rain, and reading."

"To my concern are the affairs of household, country and the mass."

Ma'am, may I ask

who else besides Lu Xun,

who wrote Diary of a Madman?

Gogol, the Russian writer.

Ma'am, you're amazing.

You guys are amazing too.

Got your answers?

Thank you, ma'am. We've got this.

Go get the prizes.

Let's go.

I know the answer.

Alright, tell me.

The Greatest Sage is Confucius and the Second Sage is Mencius.

Great, let's applaud her.

Let's go and get the prize.

You can't take it yourself.

I'll give it to you. Which one do you like?

-I like this one. -You do?

Here's the question.

Why don't you go and have a look?

Don't you want to answer this question?

I did.

Okay.

Have a look.

Who are the three Sus in the Northern Song Dynasty?

They are Su Xun, Su Shi, and Su Zhe.

Suddenly, the snake

made a hissing sound.

[Tianfu School]

Harry Potter suddenly realized

that he understood the snake's language.

He knew what the snake was saying.

What was it saying?

Wouldn't it bite Harry Potter?

Ms. Deng.

There was time before school ended

and they kept asking me to tell them a story.

So, I told them about Harry Potter.

That's fine.

But the school is about to end.

Parents are waiting at the door.

Okay.

No, I don't want the school to end.

I want Ms. He to tell us stories.

We don't want the school to end.

We want Ma'am to tell us stories.

But I need

to take Ou Zimo home.

Ms. He, don't go.

I'll see you next time, okay?

I'll come and tell you stories

next time I get the chance.

Ma'am, when will you come again?

Yeah, when will you come again?

When will you come again?

Alright.

Class, pack your bags.

Time to go home.

Go home.

How did you win so many prizes?

We have outside help.

Our outside help is amazing.

Who is the outside help?

Ms. He.

Ms. He is fantastic.

She can tell stories and knows all the answers.

Ms. He is a TV presenter

of a reading program.

No questions can't beat her.

Ou Zimo is also amazing.

Ou Zimo!

Well, I helped you answer the questions,

not Ou Zimo.

What are you so smug about?

Ma'am, are you an encyclopedia?

Of course, I'm not.

Why are you so knowledgeable?

Because I like reading.

Of course, it's also because of work.

So,

I'll dedicate an hour a day to reading.

The more I read,

the more I learn.

Naturally, I'll be able to help you

win these prizes.

What do you learn

from Ms. He's answer?

Ms. He read a lot.

That's why she's terrific.

We need to read as much

as Mrs. He does.

Yes, we need to read more and learn more.

You see, reading helped us

win so many gifts today.

So keep on reading.

That's right.

Ms. He, thank you very much

for bringing so much joy to the students today.

It's nothing. I'm also happy to be able

to share something with the kids.

Ms. He, I have an idea.

Do you think you can set aside an hour a week

and come over to tell the children stories

or share some reading materials?

Would you like that?

Yes!

Okay, I promise you.

We'll tell stories together for an hour every week

in the future.

Okay?

Okay.

What should you say?

Thank you, Ms. He.

You're welcome.

Ms. Deng,

If there's time,

can I say a few more words to the kids?

Sure.

Just now,

some students said

that I was a TV presenter,

which was cool.

But do you know

I actually have another identity?

Do you know what this uniform is?

Designated driver.

Yes, this is a designated driver's uniform.

Ms. He.

It's fine.

I'm amazing when I'm a presenter.

But what about when I put this on?

Am I also amazing?

Yes.

So whether a person is amazing or not

has nothing to do with the clothes one wears,

occupation,

or money.

We respect a person and think this person is amazing

mainly because of what?

One's character,

inner qualities, and knowledge, right?

Right.

So I hope that in the future,

you won't be tricked

by someone's money and occupation.

When you look at a person,

don't hold a prejudice against someone

because of one's money and job.

One cladded in rags through lifetime

exudes elegance with the knowledge inside.

I hope

you'll be outstanding persons with integrity,

kind hearts and knowledge in the future.

Okay?

Okay.

Let's go.

Bai Yang, wait a minute.

We're going to have dinner,

not to the gym or to fight.

I know.

So, can you change your clothes?

Is there a problem? I'm always dressed like this.

You're not dressed like this on camera.

That's work.

The dinner today is also work.

Okay, let's go.

Where are we going?

Dressing up.

I don't need to dress up.

Not bad.

Honestly,

my dress looks great on you.

It's a little revealing.

Do I need to wear a cardigan?

No need.

Do I have to dress up like this for a meal?

Yes, you have to.

Especially for the dinner tonight,

you have to dress like this.

After you put on the high heels

and earrings,

we'll get going.

Here we are.

There'll be other people there.

If you don't want to drink,

just let me do it for you.

And I'm telling you.

If Mr. Tang

says something

that irritates you later,

I beg you, Ms. Bai, bear with it.

Don't get exploded there.

After dinner,

you can lash out

at me all you want.

I know.

Please, Ms. Bai.

We can't offend this client again.

Don't you feel aggrieved?

It depends on how you look at it.

The News Center

certainly doesn't have to fawn on the clients.

But the Advertising Center is different.

Our job is

to please them.

Are you feeling unwell?

I'm okay. A recurring illness.

I've been drinking too much recently

and have an upset stomach.

Let's go.

You have to be quick on this.

Time is money.

Efficiency is life.

Mr. Tang.

Sorry, we are late.

It's okay. Just punish yourself by drinking.

Sure, I'll punish myself.

Let me introduce you first.

The producer of News in Progress,

Ms. Bai Yang.

Mr. Tang from Dadi Real Estate.

I'm Tang Shaohuai.

-Hi. -Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Mr. Tang,

Wang Hong from Deep Property Market is here.

Long time no see.

Take a seat.

You did well just now.

Thank you for the compliment.

Ms. Bai, nice to meet you.

What are you doing here?

I have to come since you're here.

Hi, I'm Zhao Yuanyuan from Jiangdu Television.

May I know your name?

I am Ren Jie from Straight the Scene.

I've heard so much about you. What an honor.

You've flattered me.

Ms. Bai,

you're wearing a dress today.

Great, you look like a woman.

But you still don't look like a man.

Mr. Tang,

almost everyone is there.

Let's tell them to be seated.

Have a seat.

Ladies and gentlemen,

please be seated.

Mr. Ren,

this way.

Ms. Bai, come.

Please take your seat.

Where should I sit?

You sit here.

Okay, thank you.

Please.

Ms. Bai,

you sit here.

Mr. Tang, let me sit next to you.

It's easier when we drink.

Okay.

Alright then,

I'll sit next to Ms. Bai.

Sure.

We'll mingle when we drink.

Mr. Zhang, the live broadcast is over?

Yes.

Whose stuff is this?

Whose stuff is this?

Just open it if no one wants it.

Maybe someone gave you some snacks.

I have no appetite now.

[The most handsome Mr. Zhang: Take medicine on time when catching a cold. Take care.]

Tong.

The hotpot restaurant called me back just now.

After you declined them,

they hired another presenter.

Never mind.

If there are similar job opportunities in the future,

please keep me posted.

Okay, bye.

Okay, thank you.

Bye.

Hi,

News in Progress.

We're almost done, right?

Mr. Ren, I'm so happy to meet you.

Mr. Tang, you're happy to meet me.

But I'm not happy to meet you.

What do you mean?

Did I offend you?

Look at yourself.

You're just a few years older than me.

But you have such a successful career.

You make me realize

how big the gap is between us.

Do you think I can be happy?

Career? It's just a small business.

See?

For you, 100 million is a small target

and hundreds of millions is a small business.

You put me in shame.

You guys are educated people.

I'm just an ordinary man who makes some money.

You're humble-bragging.

You have to drink three shots

to pacify me.

Okay, you said I'm bragging.

Let's have a drinking contest.

Three shots? No problem.

Wait, you are so forthright.

I'll just drink three shots with you.

Come on.

Come on.

The first shot, to our gap.

Cheers.

Can you give Mr. Tang a toast?

How?

Just tell him

you're pleased to meet him.

I don't drink with people I don't know well.

-You can drink water. -Let's have a second shot.

Here's to you, Mr. Ren.

Don't call me Mr. Ren.

I'm just like a younger brother to you.

Okay, to my younger brother.

Cheers.

The third shot,

to Big Brother.

Cheers, Big Brother.

Good brother.

Look at Ren Jie.

Both of you are news producers.

But he's so sociable.

Okay, thank you.

Don't glare at me.

I could strike a deal with any estate company

if he was my partner,

not only DaDi Real Estate.

What are you doing?

Mr. Tang.

Ms. Bai.

You had three drinks with Straight the Scene.

You should drink three shots with News in Progress too.

Yeah, I intend to do so.

Let me toast you.

I've exposed you,

but

you still invite me to dinner.

I think you're magnanimous.

Here's to your magnanimity.

I hope you won't be so stingy anymore

when you build houses in the future.

Okay.

I'll drink up.

Well,

Ms. Bai is so forthright.

Ms. Bai seldom drinks.

What a remarkable woman.

Here.

Speaking of the scandal,

I have to explain to you.

You did a good job.

I really appreciate you guys exposing us.

It was because you've exposed us,

we can discover and correct

our shortcomings.

I really have to thank you.

I'm sorry. Second shot,

here's to you again.

That's my job.

Please pardon me.

Don't say that. Cheers.

That's about it. Take it easy.

Mr. Tang.

Okay.

Come on.

No, let me.

Let me.

Mr. Tang,

for the third shot, let me toast you.

News in Progress hasn't finished yet.

What are you doing?

Go away.

You're able to own up to your own mistakes.

It means you can make improvements.

Your attitude convinces me

that DaDi Real Estate

will have a bright future.

Let's drink together.

Okay?

Let's drink together.

Sure.

We toast together.

Right.

Let's toast together for the future of DaDi Real Estate!

Okay.

To the future of DaDi Real Estate!

Cheers.

Future.

Alright, bottoms up!

Bottoms up!

Thank you, everyone.

Great.

Well said.

Are you happy now?

Yes, I'm so touched.

Ms. Bai.

Do you remember me?

Yes, Mr. Fan.
