[Be Your Own Light]

[Episode 26]

[News in Progress] As reporters,

we should speak up for Ren Zhenzhen's death

and prevent such tragedies from recurring.

We are aware that almost all media

were misled by the false

information Ren Zhenzhen's family released back then,

and News in Progress was one of them.

That's right.

But I have to admit

that before the news was broadcasted,

I had already noticed

something unusual about the information

Ren Zhenzhen's family provided.

My colleagues also tried to raise my attention.

A qualified news reporter

would have stopped the reportage

and requested further

investigation.

However, I did not do that.

Tell me. When did you notice

that something was afoot

with Ren Zhenzhen's family?

[The better question is why didn't I stop the reportage?]

[News in Progress] [Indeed. Why?]

Before the investigation could be conducted,

and those questions were answered,

why did I jump to the conclusion?

Because you believe in kindness.

You cannot believe that a mother

would exploit her own daughter for profit.

Thank you for helping me there.

But there was

another important reason.

Back then, most personal media

already suggested

that Ren Zhenzhen took her own life

because of her work pressure.

[I didn't want to be left behind.]

[I didn't want to be late]

[to the news cycle.]

[So hastily, I released my so-called]

[in-depth investigation.]

Bai Yang... what is she thinking about?

[News in Progress] I don't know what our audience

[News in Progress] will think of this incident.

But personally,

I sympathize with you.

However, it is an unforgivable mistake.

Before going live, I received

a text from Mr. Zhang Weimin,

who is the general manager of Xingkong Design Company.

He said and I quote,

"While it's true that when the news broke out,

my life was turned upside down.

However, you are also a victim of the deception.

I don't blame you.

Your previous reportage

also cleared my name.

Therefore, I would like to express my gratitude to News in Progress."

Although the victim has forgiven me,

I insist on apologizing.

Mr. Zhang Weimin.

I hereby offer

my sincerest apology to you

and the News in Progress audience.

I am sorry for everyone

affected.

And lastly, the one who uncovered the truth

wasn't me.

But,

He Huan, who is standing next to me.

While I need to reflect on my shortcomings,

I am also immensely proud

that News in Progress has such a competent and brave reporter.

Bai Yang.

I am proud of you too.

You have achieved so many things in the past.

And today,

you show the courage

to own up to your mistakes.

And one last thing,

my oversight has damaged

the victim, misled

the audience,

and tarnished the TV station's reputation.

I will bear the consequences.

Before this interview,

I already tendered my resignation.

Thank you for your understanding.

Please continue to support

News in Progress.

This is my resignation letter.

[Resignation Letter]

Put me

on the headline today.

The title should read,

"The Apology

and Self-Reflection of An Inadequate Reporter".

It'll boost the readership.

I've been working in News in Progress for years.

Please now take this

as my final contribution

to the program.

News in Progress

will need a new presenter.

I recommend He Huan.

She has the talent

and the character for it.

Good luck, everyone.

Please take care

of News in Progress.

Bai Yang.

You're welcome to return

whenever you like.

Thank you.

Mr. Jiang. Jiang Junhao.

Here.

Over here.

Take a seat.

You're late.

What took you so long?

I had an event.

Doing business is tough, you know?

No one wants to buy a membership card even at a 20% discount.

All right, Jiang. Everyone is here.

Spill it now.

Jiang,

is this about Ou Kaige?

No.

I gather all of you here

to announce something.

Yes?

I'm officially quitting

the debt recovery alliance.

What?

What do you mean?

You don't want your money back?

I do.

Be honest with me.

You got your money back, didn't you?

No way.

I didn't.

Then why?

Because of personal reasons.

What personal reasons?

Say it!

I'm...

I'm in love with He Huan.

What the heck?

Why?

Why?

The thing I fear the most has come true.

Jiang.

We have all been through that.

You can walk into her

honey trap.

Honey trap? What?

It has nothing to do with her.

How did she seduce you?

Seduce?

She didn't seduce me.

She didn't do anything, okay?

It's just that I develop feelings for her.

Does she know?

I haven't confessed to her yet.

You are just infatuated.

No, I am not. My mind

is sound.

I know what I'm doing.

When did you fall in love with her?

That, I don't know.

But I noticed it

recently.

Only recently?

Jiang,

she is much older than you.

So?

Isn't it great?

She has a kid already.

And I'm close to him.

So what?

She is married.

That's her problem.

I'm single. I'm allowed to love somebody.

Still, legally speaking, she

is Ou Kaige's wife.

They did not get a divorce.

She will divorce him

when Ou Kaige returns.

Wait.

How are you so sure about it?

What else will happen?

What if she doesn't get a divorce?

If they remain married,

then this is an affair.

Jiang.

Listen to me.

Stop it before it's too late.

It's already too late.

But you three make it sound like

I just committed a taboo.

I can't let He Huan become the subject of criticism

because of my own selfish desire.

Yes.

I don't know what to say.

You...

Just be a debt collector. Isn't that great?

Jiang,

as your friend,

I need to warn you not to get carried away.

You get it now?

I'm trying to impress her.

But what if she rejects me? What do I do then?

I can't do this.

What are you babbling about?

Did you hear

what we said just now?

Yes.

But I have made up my mind.

[The Debt Collectors (4)]

[More Info (4)] Guys,

[You will not receive any further notices from the chat after you delete it and quit.]

I am now

leaving the group.

You...

My friend...

But if you ever

need my help,

just buzz me.

I'll do what I can to help.

As long as it doesn't hurt He Huan.

Just tell me.

We're talking about millions of money. Do you still want the money or not?

Of course I still want the money.

When Ou Kaige comes back,

I'll make him spit everything out.

But when it comes to He Huan...

We'll see.

Jiang, I despise you.

If you do this,

you'll be poor and single in the end.

Come on.

There is much more to life than wealth and women.

Right?

No?

Okay.

I should get going.

I have already paid for everything.

So guys,

see you when I see you.

Wait.

Jiang. Sit down.

Wait.

Bye.

He's too impulsive.

What is happening?

I'm so confused.

He...

The way I see it,

he must have struck a deal

with He Huan in private.

What do we do now then?

We keep our eyes trained on He Huan.

She's our only way to reach Ou Kaige.

[Jiangdu Youth Palace]

Hi, everyone.

Hi, Ms. He.

Sorry, I'm late.

What are you doing here?

I'm here for the class.

This class is for kids.

Ms. He.

Don't you know

that every man is a child at heart?

You're too old.

Am I?

We're at the same age.

I'm just bigger in size.

What is your name?

They call me Kiddo Jiang.

And my nickname is Jiang the Goofy.

Sit down.

All right.

We'll begin now.

Focus.

Remember

the homework I gave you last week?

The tongue twister practice.

Yes.

Good.

Who wants to demonstrate first?

Me!

Me!

Pick me!

Me!

I'm new here, so pick me!

Okay.

Come.

The new student.

Let me do it.

He's so tall.

Thanks, Ms. He.

Here I go.

How much wood

would a woodchuck chuck

if a woodchuck

could chuck wood?

He would chuck... he would...

as much as he could,

and chuck as much wood...

Woodchuck, woodchuck.

It seems like he

didn't practice a lot. No?

Yes.

Any volunteer?

Me!

Lele.

Come.

Here.

How much wood

would a woodchuck chuck

if a woodchuck

could chuck wood?

He would chuck, he would,

as much as he could,

and chuck as much wood

as a woodchuck would

if a woodchuck

could chuck wood.

Bravo!

Well done.

Did she do well?

Yes!

Here.

A sticker as your reward.

Where should I put it?

Thanks, miss.

Ms. He, I can do it now.

Please give me another chance.

Should I give him another chance?

Yes!

Okay.

-Go ahead. -I'll recite one more time.

I'll be serious.

All right.

Here I go.

How much wood

would a woodchuck chuck

if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

He would chuck, he would,

as much as he could,

and chuck as much wood

as a woodchuck would

if a woodchuck

could chuck wood.

You have improved.

You made huge progress.

I want a sticker too, Ms. He.

Where?

Here.

Thanks, Ms. He.

Go back to your seat.

All right. Be serious now.

Today,

we'll continue with our tongue twisters.

Last week,

we had the woodchuck.

Today,

I'll hand out a new tongue twister for you.

Bye, Ms. He.

Bye.

Mommy!

Let's go.

Let's go.

Bye, Ms. He.

Come.

Who will pick you up today?

Your daddy or your mommy?

My mommy.

Where is she?

Where is she?

Bye, Ms. He.

Bye.

Sorry, I was late.

No worries.

Bye, Ms. He.

See you next week.

Bye.

Song.

Where is your mommy?

I don't know.

[Security Devices Cabinet] Should I drive you back?

Song.

Mommy!

Sorry, my dear.

My bad.

Say goodbye to Ms. He.

-Bye, Ms. He. -Bye.

Ms. He.

My parents are not here too.

Can you drive me back?

Childish.

Or I can drive you back.

[Jiangdu Youth Palace]

[Jiangdu Youth Palace] No.

Why?

I still have things to do.

This late at night?

You work as a designated driver?

Not every day.

[Xingyan Designated Driver Service] I see...

Take care.

Bye.

Here. Drink up.

You sure eat a lot.

What do you mean?

What are you trying to imply there?

Don't get the wrong idea.

I like a big eater.

They are

strong.

They can clean up food.

And they pack a punch.

Are you a masochist?

You know what they say,

love is tough.

What is love without a little bit of quarrels anyway?

I should go now.

You barely started eating.

My aunt said that you had something for me.

Where is it?

Your aunt

wanted me to tell you

something.

What?

Let me

quote her.

"Chunyan,

Chen is a decent guy.

He has a stable job

so keep him.

Don't let other girls get to him first.".

My aunt said that?

[Chunyan, Chen told me]

[that he hung out with you yesterday. He's quite fond of you, actually.]

[Therefore,]

[keep him.]

[He has his own renovation crew.]

[He makes several hundred thousand yuan every year.]

[You should stop being fickle.]

[Because for a girl like you, getting a husband like this one here]

[is nearly impossible.]

[If another woman snatches him away,]

[you'll regret it.]

Why would she

tell you that?

I think

she was supposed to send it to you

but

she sent it to me by mistake.

Her old age has caught up to her.

But what she said still makes sense.

So?

Think about it.

Chen,

let me be frank with you.

You're not my cup of tea.

Don't knock it

until you've tried it.

Chen.

Look at the food here.

This lotus root.

Ever since I was little, I never liked it.

What do you like to eat?

Pork knuckles.

I see.

Now that I've made myself clear,

I'll leave then.

Chunyan.

I...

I also have a gift for you.

What is this?

Winter is coming

and you're always working outside.

I figured I could buy you some cold medicine.

Thank you.

You're still awake.

I was waiting for you.

Why?

I need you to sign something.

Sign what?

This is the contract stipulates

that you need to pay me 3,000 per month.

I have made some amendments.

Such as?

You only need to pay me five

per month now.

Why?

Nothing.

I have made some money lately

and I feel so good about myself that 3,000 is nothing for me now.

It's not right.

I know.

But I cannot change my nouveau riche

mentality.

I can't help it.

I still can shoulder the debt,

you know?

That's your business.

I just think that 3,000

is a trivial sum for me.

Here, sign it.

Grab the pen.

Don't dally.

Done.

This is your copy.

However,

I will continue to monitor you

and Zimo.

If you move away,

I'll follow you.

I will also visit you regularly

to monitor your activity.

You will still be in charge of eating up

the food I made in my stream.

Deal?

As you wish.

All right then.

So...

Goodnight.

[Jiangdu Television]

Hi, Ms. He.

Hi.

How is your wound, Ms. He?

Much better now.

Ms. He, I saw your show yesterday.

You did so well.

Thanks.

Keep the feedback rolling.

Sure.

Bye, Ms. He.

Hi. Ms. He.

-Hi. Ms. He. -Ms. He.

-Mr. Qiu. -Mr. Huang.

Mr. Huang was asking about you.

I answered him with one sentence.

As professional and quick on her feet as she used to be.

Qiu,

come on now,

it's unwise to hold her against the past standard.

The future is now.

If you don't update your criteria,

you won't be able to improve.

You're right.

Back then, we were only dealing

with the audience of television.

But now,

there are all sorts of media platforms available.

We need to use them to lead

and unite.

I want to see a new and improved He Huan,

not a He Huan who is as good as she used to be.

Understood, Mr. Huang.

I will

continue to learn

and improve myself.

It's time to think about your work

from the aspect of media convergence.

Noted.

Go back to your work.

Sure.

Here, please.

[Powder Room]

Cinch it here.

It'll look better.

All right.

Let me fix your makeup.

You need to remove it.

My grandmother just gave it to me.

No accessories before the camera.

It's worth three hundred thousand.

It's still not allowed even if it's ten times the price.

A jade bracelet that's worth over 300,000?

Let me see it.

Whose bracelet is it?

Mine.

Thank you, Ms. He.

No worries.

Where do I sit?

Just have some rest.

Okay.

Ms. He.

You need to go on live soon, right?

Zhang Ke is done.

I can handle your makeup now.

Yes.

Take my seat, Huan.

Ms. He.

[Studio] [Editing Room]

[News in Progress]

Ms. He.

[News in Progress] The latest news rundown.

[News in Progress] Your headphones, Ms. He.

[Run a mic test.]

[Hi, everyone.]

[Hi, everyone.]

[Welcome]

[to News in Progress.]

[I am your news presenter He Huan.]

[Can you hear me?]

Yes.

All is good.

All right.

Camera one, back off.

Back off a bit.

Zoom out.

[Camera Two, move forward.]

[Zoom in.]

Where is Zhang Ke?

We're going live soon.

Bring him here.

[News in Progress]

Huan.

Mr. Zhang.

Thanks.

Zhang Ke, you're late.

[News in Progress] A lot of news today.

[News in Progress] Yeah.

Zhang Ke, Zhang Ke.

Sit upright.

Try to look smart.

Come on.

Get ready.

Counting down.

Ten, nine, eight, seven,

[News in Progress] six, five, four, three,

two,

one.

[News in Progress] [Hi, everyone.]

[News in Progress] [Welcome to]

[News in Progress.]

[I am your news presenter He Huan.]

[And I am Zhang Ke.]

[First,]

[let's look at today's headline.]

[What secret lies]

[in this quaint little corner?]

[Stay tuned for the latest report] Big Brother!

I'm home.

[Whether it's the legend, the festival,]

[the fabric, or the tools...]

What are you watching?

Your mother is reporting the news.

[...resonates with us.]

What's so fun about it?

It's very interesting.

Big Brother, I'm starving.

Is there anything I can eat?

Just check the fridge.

[...innovation, and flavors.]

[These four core components...]

What did you make today?

A lot.

Just check for yourself.

[...with an interactive experience]

[to present the sophistication of Western Sichuan.]

[Now,]

[let's move on]

[to the grand opening of the International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition.]

[What the people concern]

Congratulations.

[and expect...]

Your comeback is immaculate.

[Amidst the uncertainty]

[and the excitement,]

[the High-Tech Zones]

[undertook a massive green development project.]

Is it me,

or Huan is shining right now?

It does look like it.

[Our reporters]

[spent three days in the service center]

[and have heard many touching stories.]

[Let us]

[review]

[the heart-warming moments.]

[In tomorrow's News in Progress,]

[we will continue to update you]

[the latest development of the incident.]

[That's all]

[for today's News in Progress.]

[See you tomorrow.]

[News in Progress] [See you tomorrow.]

Come in.

Come in.

Take a seat.

Come.

Thanks, darling.

Ms. He.

Allow me to introduce the dishes to you.

This one is called "The Greatest Victory".

This is called "The Return of a Queen".

This one is you,

"Beautiful and Wise".

This one is "Honest Work".

And this one is "Adored By Everyone".

And the soup is called

"Joyous Occasion".

The whole banquet is called, "Thank You, Thesaurus".

Thank you for the effort.

If you want to thank me,

you eat all of them.

Come.

I'll pour one out.

Let me fill your glass.

I can do it.

Zimo, come.

Cheers.

Cheers.

[Jiangdu Broadcasting & TV Station]

Help me decide.

Which pair of shoes will go well with my wedding dress?

Will this do?

You're supposed

to sparkle during your wedding.

But

she picked a plain wedding dress.

So her heels should not be too gaudy.

What about this?

Do you want me to do your makeup?

No need.

Thanks.

[News in Progress]

Where is Zhang Ke?

I don't know.

This is today's script.

Please give it to him.

Okay.

Mr. Zhang?

Yes?

Mr. Zhang.

Where are you?

I'm

in the backyard.

Your script is out.

Script?

So, how should I give it to you?

Hello?

Mr. Zhang, are you all right?

Mr. Zhang?

Hello?

[News in Progress]

Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang.

Are you all right?

You're drunk.

Chunyan...

How much did you drink?

Why are you here?

Your script.

I can't go broadcasting today.

Take leave for me

and sub someone in.

Are you all right?

Do you want to go to the hospital?

She's getting married.

Who?

Yuanyuan.

Why is she doing this to herself?

I should have been braver.

I should have confessed to her sooner.

She doesn't deserve you.

Don't insult Yuanyuan!

Watch this video

and maybe you'll feel better.

Where did you get this from?

I took the video myself.

Send it to me.

Finance told me

that our sale had bounced back.

It's still far beneath where it used to be

before the whole fiasco.

But it's good that our sales team

are staying.

And most importantly,

FCC signed

the contract with us.

For real?

Congratulations!

Come.

We shall drink to it.

Come.

Congratulations,

Mr. and Mrs. Zhou.

-Thanks, Yuanyuan. -Thank you.

By the way,

Yuanyuan,

my husband and I

have a gift for you.

Mrs. Zhou.

I can't accept it.

Without your help,

Kylin Group wouldn't have been able

to wiggle out of the crisis this soon.

My wife and I decided to pay you

for your service.

Take it.

No, I was just doing my job.

Just take it already.

Your family is my family.

I'm not asking my family to pay me.

All right.

Jiaqi.

You should buy Yuanyuan a gift.

All right.

Why would you accept it?

Mrs. Zhou,

Jiaqi already bought a gift for me.

He bought me a diamond ring.

This is all I need,

frankly.

I don't need anything else.

You already bought a ring?

Yes, Mom. A long time ago.

So hasty.

I do think it's hasty too.

But Jiaqi wants a baby in the year of the tiger.

So you two have to get married this year then.

Isn't that too soon?

Jiaqi said

that a tiger-baby fits

your Chinese zodiac sign.

Right.

I was told that too.

Tiger-baby will go along with the parents that are of pig and dog signs.

Exactly.

It will bring

prosperity and wealth.

Yes.

But it's almost the end of the year now.

I'll be busy.

Dad, there are wedding agencies right now.

I can let them do most of the work,

and you won't need to worry.

We have talked this through.

I know we shouldn't draw

too much attention to the company.

But that's great.

Because we want a simple wedding as well.

After all, my happiness

is not dependent on how grand the wedding is.

But there must be a ceremony.

[Min] It concerns our family image.

[Bravo!]

[Min: Yuanyuan, someone tries to make you look bad.]

[The Scandal Between A Female Presenter and a Land Developer]

What's the matter?

I have to answer a call.

Let's eat.

Where did you stumble upon the video?

From a video platform.

It was uploaded recently

and it hasn't gone viral.

Who uploaded it?

No idea. It's an anonymous user.

You need to deal with it immediately.

I think we have enough dishes already.

I'm coming.

I'll...

Put it on the table.

Yuanyuan?

Huan, help me.

What's the matter?

Go to your inbox.

I sent you a video.

All right, calm down now.

Let me see.

We are talking about a wedding now

[Dafeng Video] so I can't get out

[The Scandal Between A Female] of the situation.

[Presenter and a Land Developer] I have enough on my plate.

I just watched the video.

Some users

are trying to identify the woman in the video.

No.

This can't be happening.

Please help me contain the situation.

I cannot let my future in-laws see the video.

Otherwise, I won't be getting married.

All right.

Calm down.

I'll contact the video platform.

Thanks.

What's the matter?

Something from the TV station.

It's about my show

but I have dealt with it.

Yuanyuan,

we were talking about the wedding.

My husband

thinks that it is premature to hold

the wedding this year.

Oh?

Captain Wang will come tomorrow for an inspection.

I have arranged for everything.

Okay.

Talk to him.

[He Huan: They have identified you.]

Just say what Tian said.

[Zhao Yuanyuan: When can they take the video down?]

[He Huan: I'm still negotiating.]

[Zhou Jiaqi, I have created the lobby.]

[Go online now]

[because I'm bored to death.]

Jiaqi.

Yuanyuan and you

are on your phone all the time.

Can we eat properly for once?

Right.

I agree with Mrs. Zhou.

I understand that you have a protocol to follow

but the efficacy of it is too slow.

I need to get this removed immediately.

Just tell me who

I should speak to.

Yes.

Give me the number.

Ms. He, the food is getting cold.

I'll be right back.

Go ahead.

Okay.

Thanks.

Hi.

Your colleague gave me your number.

So,

there is a video on your platform

that might damage the reputation of our TV station.

I need you

to remove it for us.

I know a Fengshui expert.

Perhaps we can consult him and ask him to pick out a date?

Let's not

be superstitious.

No, I agree with Yuanyuan.

Unlike taking a big swig of alcohol,

you're meant to sip tea.

Therefore,

your composure is very important in the art of savoring tea.

For example,

the teacup.

How should we hold it?

Squeeze the body lightly

with your middle finger and thumb.

Your ring finger should hold the bottom.

The index finger and the little finger

should face outward.

Now, remember,

make sure your grip is facing you.

That's courtesy.

Doesn't it look elegant?

It

has a very fancy name,

the "Three Dainty Dragon Support".

For men,

they should simply use their fingers

to hold the body.

It also has a fancy name,

"The Almighty Grasp".

The Almighty Grasp.

The teacup

-is the most common part in... -Excuse me.

I have to take this call.

a tea set.

-You will also find an aroma cup here. -What happened?

This one is easy to understand.

You need to clarify it.

Why I had to do this?

Both of us clinked our glasses with Tang Shaohuai too.

And you even called him your brother.

But we didn't cross our arms and drank the wine.

Yes, Yuanyuan

might have behaved inappropriately

but I don't think this was what she wanted to do back then.

Both of us know the truth.

She shouldn't be held liable for that.

All right.

Speak no further.

I'll try to find a solution.

I think I used to play sports

with the director of that platform.

Contact him then.

Yes, Ma'am.

What happened?

You are on your phone the whole night.

A video of Yuanyuan

drinking with a land developer

was circulated on the internet.

The content of the video is innocent

but its caption distorts the perception of it.

It implies that she

was sleeping with the land developer.

That's disgusting.

Sue the author.

We are talking to the media platform

but they have to go through their own procedures.

The video can be taken down

tomorrow morning the earlier.

That's annoying.

Yes.

If the video

was shared around tonight,

it would deal a huge blow to Yuanyuan's reputation.

Hi, Bai Yang.

Hi.

I asked around

and did not find anyone who works there.

However, a friend of Ren Jie

might be able to help.

All right.

I'll wait for your follow-up.

Sure.

Bye.

And what now?

We want the media platform to make an exception for us

and immediately take down the video.

We asked around and haven't found

anyone who has a friend there.

Bai Yang and Ren Jie are asking around too.

♪Like how the sun shines through the dark clouds♪

♪Over the bottom of the city♪

♪How many random meetings can burn into memories?♪

♪Or do they just pop out occasionally?♪

♪Why do we hesitate when traveling together?♪

♪You're like the sun and also the rain♪

♪The story continues and stops♪

♪The ending glimmers too♪

♪Misunderstandings pull us apart♪

♪Dreams make us expect♪

♪If love can be requited♪

♪I'll forget who I was yesterday♪

♪Then could I make you♪

♪Feel the way I feel♪

♪The sympathy♪

♪Drifts through the tough life♪

♪It's lucky enough to meet each other♪

♪If happiness takes longer, that's fine♪

♪To love anyway♪
