[Once and Forever]

[Episode 32]

Do some more detailed due diligence

on that founder.

Okay.

Yingying.

Who are you?

Sorry, I got the wrong person.

Mr. Zhao,

is our quality control stable now?

What I'm talking about now is

the output that can be achieved

with stable quality control.

A Chinese girl came to Qin.

A girl

came all the way to see you.

Is she really here?

Who is here?

Lin Yiyue?

Good. Nice expression.

Mr. Zhao, thank you for keeping it a secret for me.

Don't you want a surprise?

I don't see any surprise on his face.

I was just too startled.

Why are you here?

I'm on annual leave.

You're here to spend your annual leave?

Yes.

I just want to see

my important client by the way.

What? You don't welcome me?

Of course not.

Welcome.

Mr. Qin.

Treat us to dinner tonight.

Right.

I want

Pakistan food.

The pine can't do.

Okay.

She went to Pakistan?

What?

She's hitting you right in the heartland.

And you still have the mood

eating a pancake here?

Don't make a fuss.

They are just partners.

Boyfriends and girlfriends

can also be partners.

Come on, that's Qin Chuan.

He is having an affair? Impossible.

But the woman can be interested in him.

When that woman came to the shop last time,

I had a bad feeling.

I met with Lin Yiyue.

She knows I'm Qin Chuan's girlfriend.

Girlfriends

can become ex-girlfriends.

Right?

I advise you to be more careful.

Keep an eye on him.

I advise you to stop gossiping.

Just write it.

The deadline is the end of the month.

I'll stay up with you if you can't finish it.

What are you doing?

Pakistan's specialty is Chinese food?

I'm afraid you won't be used to

local food.

There are dumplings and ramen.

[Ramen Dumplings]

Thin-skinned buns and mutton soup

are also popular here.

Take a look.

Let me see.

I've found a place for you.

Enjoy your meal.

I have something to do. I'm leaving.

Take care, Mr. Zhao.

Okay.

This place

feels like a county.

It's boring, right?

It's fun.

What are those concrete piers

at the entrance for?

There are many advertisements.

They're roadblocks for anti-terrorism.

Really? There can be a war here?

Of course.

Let me tell you.

There are often terrorists from time to time.

So this is not a good place.

Go back now.

Are you trying to scare me?

I'm not scared.

Come with me.

Hurry up.

Why don't you text me back?

Why don't you text me back?

When will you be back?

Sister.

Time to eat.

Let's go.

Pak military says on the 17th

that a patrol of the security forces

was attacked by terrorists

in the southwestern part of the country.

One soldier was killed.

Three soldiers were injured.

The Inter-Services Information Bureau

issued a statement that night saying

the terrorist attacked

the security forces patrol

near a post

some thirty-five kilometers

to the south-west.

There was an exchange of fire.

No further details were given in the statement.

Up to now,

no organization has declared

to create this attack.

Lin Yiyue. Lin Yiyue.

How are you?

Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

Get up.

Let me help you.

Sorry.

The subscriber you dialed cannot be connected for the moment.

Please redial later.

Sorry…

Daughter, don't worry.

Chuan will be fine.

Mom,

he never usually cuts me off

for this long.

He has never done this.

So,

where should I find him?

Don't worry.

Hello.

Could you please check

the phone number of the Chinese Embassy in Pakistan

for me?

92…

617843

How do you feel?

They're here.

I think someone's there.

Sorry.

The subscriber you dialed cannot be connected for the moment.

Please redial later.

Listen to me.

I'll open the screen.

Let's go from the back door.

Freeze! Hands up!

I'm Chinese.

I'm Chinese.

Freeze! Hands up!

I'm Chinese.

Shut up!

Don't shoot.

Who are you?

I'm Chinese.

I'm Chinese.

Why are you here?

I'm Chinese.

I'm Chinese. Don't shoot.

Don't shoot, I'm Chinese.

I'm Chinese.

Stop!

Stop!

I'm Chinese.

Stop. He is...

He's my friend.

A friend. A friend.

Put the gun down.

Put it down.

OK. Let's go.

Qin Chuan, are you okay?

I'm all right.

Okay, that's good.

You scared me.

They are here to save us.

They're security forces.

Lin Yiyue.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Here, have some water.

Thank you.

Have a good sleep.

Don't worry. It's safe here.

It's okay.

What about you?

I'm going back to my room.

Can you stay?

I'm scared.

Okay, I'll stay here for a while.

Still no signal on your cell phone?

That's right.

Modern communication

is really fragile.

The phone is omnipotent

when nothing happens.

If anything happens,

it'll be the first to break down.

It's been twice.

There is one more time?

Yes, but not here.

It was at the Wenchuan earthquake.

You were in Wenchuan at that time?

My girlfriend was there.

I went to find her.

It seems

you've experienced life and death together.

Indeed.

What about us?

We've done the same thing, right?

I like you.

How is it going?

It's not through yet.

How?

I'm going to buy a plane ticket.

Girl, listen to me.

I think

you should sit here.

Don't worry.

Maybe

you'll receive his message soon.

That's right.

You know what?

Don't keep calling.

What if he calls

and you're not available?

Don't worry, daughter.

Everything will be fine.

If the Chinese citizens were attacked,

it'd be reported on the news.

You don't have to call the embassy.

The embassy will contact their families.

Yes.

Right. Family.

I'll go find Qin Qian.

Put on some clothes.

I have a girlfriend.

I know.

But she's not here.

Can we not talk about her?

Qin Chuan,

can you face me?

If it wasn't Mr. Zhao

who just came in,

but the terrorists,

you could have died for me.

Do you dare to say

you have no feelings for me?

That's not what I thought.

Even if

it weren't you who was by my side,

but any other girl

in this world,

I'd also protect her.

I'd make sure

she was the first to hide, too.

Otherwise, I'd be too much of a loser.

That's all?

Yes, that's all.

Lin Yiyue.

I know you were so scared

that you might have

unrealistic thoughts towards me.

But I'm not a hero.

I'm scared too.

I had cramps in my calves, too.

I thought about it just now.

If I

died here,

I'd lose a lot.

I didn't fall for you

because of

what happened just now.

I had always thought

you and I

were a perfect match.

Qin Chuan,

I admire you

and understand you.

Besides, I can help you.

Your girlfriend may not even

know about e-commerce.

But I'm different.

I'm willing to come here

to discuss business

and develop the product line with you.

We can do a lot

together.

You're right.

My girlfriend doesn't understand e-commerce,

but she doesn't need to,

because it's enough that she understands me.

You asked me

if I had feelings for you.

To be honest,

I've never had feelings for anyone

but Qiaoqiao in my life.

Well.

Without her,

would it have been possible between the two of us?

No.

Because I must have her

in my life.

Hello, Qiaoqiao.

Hello?

Qin Chuan, are you okay?

Where are you now?

Qiaoqiao.

I'm fine. I'm in the hotel.

Don't worry. I'm fine.

That's great.

You scared me to death.

Do you know

I've been texting you

the whole afternoon?

But you didn't reply.

I thought you had an affair.

Then I...

As soon as I saw the news,

I was desperate.

I was so scared.

I called you

many times.

And I called

the embassy.

I almost bought a ticket

to find you in Pakistan.

But now...

I'm glad you're fine.

I was so scared.

I was thinking

if anything happened to you,

I'd stay with your photos

for the rest of my life.

I'm glad you're fine.

That's great.

Alright, silly girl.

I'm fine now.

We finally

overthrew the feudal kingdom.

It's no longer fashionable

to erect a plaque of chastity.

I won't leave you a chance

to do that.

Annoying.

Sleep well

and wait for me.

That's great.

You scared me.

You scared me.

You really...

Alright, come on.

Hello, it's me.

Yeah.

Qiaoqiao is in our house.

Don't worry.

I'll send her home after this.

My goodness.

Can you

stop being lovey-dovey?

Our parents are listening.

Bye.

Okay, I'm hanging up.

Lin Yiyue.

I won't say thank you,

because I don't think

I have to.

Okay, I got it.

Have a good sleep.

Call me if anything.

Ms. Yao, Mr. Jianjun.

Qiaoqiao.

You don't have to say anything.

I understand.

Qiaoqiao,

we are very happy

that you're with Chuan.

However,

you have to go back

and tell your parents

and grandma about it.

If they agree,

me and Jianjun…

We absolutely agree.

100%.

[Wang Ying]

You met her?

She knows me.

I wouldn't show up.

So,

is she okay?

How should I put it?

Not as good as before.

[Wang Ying]

She gets paid ¥7,000

a month,

rents an old house for ¥2,000,

and commutes by subway and bus.

It's the same as

the workers you met.

But

she's in good spirit

and energetic.

Her hardest time

should be over.

What's her hardest time?

We've never been to that point.

Maybe you can't even imagine it.

We won't be like that.

That's right.

Anything else you want to know,

I'll tell you.

But

don't go to see her.

Did you tell my dad?

This is their idea?

No, it's Wang Ying's idea.

Didn't you say you haven't seen her?

Someone you know

happened to see her.

Who?

Sun Fei.

Who is Sun Fei?

Mr. Sun's niece.

You and she

were once together.

Really?

Then why did she go to see Wang Ying?

I said

it was just a coincidence.

It was at an auction.

They didn't say much.

They just said hello and caught up.

But Wang Ying

especially reminded Sun Fei

not to tell Yang Cheng

that she saw her.

[Ullens Art Museum Wang Ying]

[International Arrival]

Qiaoqiao.

When I played Counter-Strike

as a kid,

[Jianbing Guru]

I loved using AK47s.

I saw the real thing

in Pakistan this time.

Luckily, they didn't blow my head.

Were you

scared?

Actually,

I was fine.

You know what?

At that time,

I was hiding in a corner.

It was like

I had a movie playing

in my head.

I remember everything from before.

For example,

when you were 16,

you gave me a birthday gift

and put the wristband

on my hand.

Your hair

accidentally

scratched my wrist.

I even remembered

that feeling.

At that time, I thought

it was a pity

that I couldn't call you.

If only I could call you.

I had to

say "I love you" out loud

no matter what

before I sacrificed.

That way,

you'll remember me forever.

Even if I'm not yours in life,

I'll still haunt you

in death.

Qin Chuan,

when I

couldn't reach you,

I was so scared.

I was scared to death.

Nothing mattered anymore.

I just wanted you to be safe.

I'd even sell pancakes with you forever

as long as you come back.

Don't talk nonsense.

How can you sell pancakes all your life?

You studied at such a good university, after all.

We need to have a dream

and work hard, right?

But look at

the people walking on the street.

[Jianbing Guru]

Maybe some of them don't have dreams,

or some

are born without the need to work hard.

For example, Qianxi.

Do you think she has achieved her dream?

For example, Yang Cheng.

Does he need to work hard?

Silly girl.

Actually,

it's because

there are so many people

knocked down by their dreams

that the dreams

seem so valuable.

It's also because

there are so many people who don't struggle

that the struggle

becomes more meaningful.

Since the wind

has come to us,

we can't avoid it.

Then let's fight the wind.

Tell me.

Do I crush Yang Cheng

in terms of personal charisma?

So you're

boasting yourself?

When the disaster came,

I still remembered to get you some pine nuts.

Isn't this worth your praise?

It's dirty.

No, it's not.

Delicious.

Qiaoqiao,

in as little as two years,

or as long as five,

my sister and I will be able to pay off our debt.

Wait for me to marry you.

You wish.

You have to nail my mom.

Coming.

Who is it?

Hello, it's Xie Qiao's delivery.

Okay, thank you.

Why delivery again?

Daughter,

how many things did you buy?

It's cheap.

What is this?

Let me see.

This is the down vest

for my grandma.

Great.

In 2010,

Chaobao Mall's "Double 11"

50% discount promotion

set a one-day sales record of one billion yuan.

What is "Double 11"?

Is this a new festival?

It's a shopping festival, Dad.

It's like

another Women's Day.

Indeed.

Awesome.

It's rare for you to find

pine nuts of such uniform size.

No wonder it was the breakout hit

of this year's "Double 11"

food category.

Of course.

We had to make the trip to Pakistan

worth it.

You've been selling a lot of goods

at the Grocery Store.

It's a dark horse.

Think about it.

It has something to do with me.

It's quite strange.

I'd like to thank Ms. Lin

for taking the trouble

to help me.

Can I bash you instead?

Don't worry. I won't.

As a Beijing drifter,

doing business is my top priority.

Don't think

I'm narrow-minded.

Yes.

Miss Qin,

as our key client,

please

support

Tian Miao in the future.

Of course.

Of course. We'll work together.

By the way,

I heard that your turnover on "Double 11"

was over a million yuan a day.

One million, fifty-seven thousand,

eight hundred and sixty yuan.

Amazing.

If my book "When We Were Young"

is published,

I'll be happy with

this amount of fixed price I get

in a month,

not to mention a day.

What do you think?

You've got a

potential stock.

How long have you been green?

Finally, it's red.

Don't use the word green.

Why does it sound improper?

Okay.

What are we watching?

"Let the Bullets fly".

It's said online that it's great.

Okay, I'll buy the tickets.

No, no. I bought them through group buying.

Group-buying?

What is that?

Look.

It's so funny.

Hotpot.

Let me see

if there's a group buying for hotpot.

There is.

Look.

There is everything.

[Xiao Qianxi: I'm born in the 80s]

I

really regret it.

I shouldn't have mentioned the group-buying thing.

I mean.

You studied it all night.

The movie was about to let the bullets fly for a while.

Look at you.

You let the group buying fly for a while.

No.

I was studying

the new online shopping mode.

This is a business opportunity, baby.

How could you study it in the cinema?

Everyone was watching movies.

But you held your phone.

No. Fine.

It's my fault.

Are you apologizing?

It sounds insincere.

To show my sincerity,

I already bought

two boxes of Arctic Ocean

through group buying.

How is it? Isn't it awesome?

All right.

Don't be angry.

Baby,

don't give that attitude…

There are so many people here

on the street.

People will think

I'm molesting you.

Why do you have to do this?

What is it?

No.

Dad, you...

Are you waiting for us?

I don't have time for that.

I could see you clearly

in our balcony.

Don't just stand here.

Don't you feel cold

standing here?

Come home with me.

Grandma is calling us again?

Not your grandma.

It's your mother.

Mom.

Go back to your room.

What?

Can't I talk to Chuan

alone?

Well, daughter,

listen to your mom.

Go back to your room.

Hurry up.

Go back.

Go back to your room.

Go back.

Well.

You should go back too.

Have some water.

Daughter, are you serious?

Is your mom that scary?

What can your mom

do to him?

It's scary.

Dad, what you don't know is,

my mom has been

Qin Chuan's childhood nightmare.

The first thing she said to him when they met

was always

"Have you finished your homework?"

She gave him

"English dictionary"

or "3:1 Tests" on his birthdays.

As long as my mom was in the yard,

Qin Chuan wouldn't even dare to shout.

Now that you mention it,

it's really scary.

I know

times have changed.

A generation has its way of living.

In the past,

with the jobs of you and Qiaoqiao,

you can go ask

who would agree with

you being together.

If you two get married,

how will you live?

Can you live on air?

You're right.

My parents said the same thing.

But recently,

we've seen

your efforts.

You are responsible

for your lives.

I don't understand

the Internet,

pine nuts,

studio

or novels.

But I understand.

It's always good

to have more choices.

Ms. Qiao…

You two,

just be good.

Wait.

Aunt,

did I hear it right?

You agreed us

to be together?

Did I

get the main idea right?

Stop eavesdropping.

Come out.

Mom.

Sit down.

You don't have to fake it anymore.

Sit down.

Come on.

Go.

Sit over there.

Their chat seems to go on well.

It's good to make it public.

You used to sneak around.

Let me tell you.

It's cold these days.

It's freezing.

[Jianbing Guru]

This is...

Sponsorship.

Thank you.

[Press Sharing of Lu Qianran's Works]

I never thought

the book "When We Were Young"

could sell so well.

When the sales exceeded 50,000,

my editor bought me a meal.

When the sales exceeded 100,000,

my editor bought me another meal.

Now that the sales are over 500,000,

I think it's my turn

to treat her to dinner.

"When We Were Young"

is very popular among young readers.

Many people in an online forum

have asked

if this is

a real story.

Is there an archetypal character

in this novel?

♫Young man♫

♫The fire in your heart♫

It's more like the most real feeling

instead of archetypal characters.

♫Let it burn♫

This book is based on a true story.

♫The sun is burning inside♫

The truth is

that I'm writing about

teenagers who used to

♫Climbing up♫

run in this era.

No matter what fate throws at them,

♫The ideal slope♫

I want to honor them.

What is this?

Try it first.

Peanut candy?

It tastes like

Xiaochuan's mother's.

How did you do it?

You have no idea.

I called Xiaochuan

so many times

to make this.

I've tried it a couple dozen times,

if not a hundred.

We should let Xiaochuan taste it.

He should miss it more than us.

He'll be back next month.

He can eat it.

What do you want to do with this?

I plan to make a series

for this year's group buying,

such as figs,

jumping jacks and plum.

They'll be made in old ways.

But

I want the best materials.

Take the peanut nougat

for example.

Peanuts from Qingdao, Shandong.

Peanuts from Sichuan.

Peanuts from Longyan, Fujian.

They're all good stuff.

I'll try them one by one.

Try the flavor bit by bit.

And I've picked

the name.

I'll call it "Denghua Hutong Snacks".

It's mainly about nostalgia.

It's the taste of our childhood.

That's a good idea.

What do you think?

Don't you want to invest more?

Stop

coveting

my money.

If you want to make it big,

I can teach you a trick.

What is it?

Financing.

Come on. Let's go.

Let's go.

I can't believe you.

How could you be late today?

Well, a company

was interested in us.

This is a matter of

life and death for me.

It's up to him

whether I can make enough money to marry you.

I mean.

You can't let Xiaochuan

wait for us at the airport

no matter what.

He only comes back once a few years.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

Don't be angry, okay?

All right.

Let's hurry up.

Yeah, I know.

Chuan.

Xiaochuan.

Chuan.

Good for you, Chuan.

You're driving a Chevrolet now.

I just bought it.

It's a new arrival.

2.0T.

You know what?

I didn't even pick a color

to pick you up.

I just picked up the car.

I'm flattered.

Qiaoqiao has been mentioning

that fact

you're coming back to China

for more than a week.

I'm so over it.

Even the state guests don't get this treatment.

Of course.

In my place,

no one is as good as Xiaochuan.

Well.

I'm not

included, right?

Don't you know your place

in our quadrangle

since young?

I thought I was gonna

get a big bump

in the pecking order

if I became your boyfriend.

You're far behind.

Good.

You two are still the same.

Xiaochuan.

How long will you stay this time?

A little longer than last time.

The main reason I came back this time

was to work with the school on a transporter protein class project.

There has been a breakthrough

in this field.

Besides,

the school wants me

to have a meeting

with their current students.

Xiaochuan, you're amazing.

You've returned to your alma mater with honor.

I find that when I talk to Qiaoqiao

about anything,

I'll feel more confident.

Of course.

Xiaochuan is the best person

I've ever met.

That's a record

that hasn't been broken yet.

Thank you, Qiaoqiao.

Don't thank me.

I'm telling the truth.

Number one in this week's top ten

is still "You're Not Mine"

by Xiao Qianxi.

It's been at the top of the charts

for three weeks

but is still hot.

Let's enjoy it again.

Chuan.

♫You're not mine♫

Play it.

♫You're from the past♫

I haven't heard this song yet.

♫You're not mine♫

♫You're from the sky♫

♫You're not mine♫

♫You're alone♫

♫You're not mine♫

♫You're free♫

♫You're not mine♫

♫You're empty♫

♫I'm not yours♫

♫I'm empty♫

♫You can't hold me♫

♫I feel the pain♫

Five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three.

Five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three.

Five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four.

Sister.

Are you okay?

Stop filming.

Stop filming.

Sister.

Have some water.

Sister, I'll let everyone rest first

and ask the driver

to buy you some stomach medicine.

What date is it today?

26th.

No need to buy stomach medicine.

Get me a pregnancy test paper.
