[Sunshine by My Side]

[Episode 15]

Director, take a look.

This is the shooting order for tomorrow.

See if we need to adjust it.

There's nothing to adjust.

You do it. I'm a little tired.

Your student is here.

Okay, I'm leaving.

Director Jian.

Hello.

Why are you here?

Shouldn't you be at

an art exhibition?

That's right.

But she went with another colleague.

Something's up?

Yes.

Why don't we eat Luosifen noodles first?

My treat.

It's fine. Just go ahead.

Okay.

Then...

I'm going to go ahead.

Actually...

we knew each other ten years ago.

I learned art

because of you.

And majored in commercial design in university

I know.

Although the chance of us meeting again is very small,

I still hoped

to see you one day.

We've met, haven't we?

Yes, we did.

Song Chen often teases me.

He said the image I have of you in my mind is too perfect.

He said if I see you in person one day,

my fantasies will be all gone.

He's right.

Not at all.

Although you're a little different

from what I remember,

but

you've become more vivid.

You are no longer

the perfect goddess

in my mind from ten years ago.

You had an imperfect marriage.

You are stubborn and have a temper,

and have a harsh attitude towards work.

But all these have made you more realistic

in my heart.

Since I was young,

I have never been like this towards anyone.

Recently, my emotions

have always been

influenced by you.

If you are happy,

I'll be happy.

If you are unhappy,

I'll be sad with you.

If you didn't reply my message one day,

I'll keep refreshing your WeChat Moments repeatedly.

I just want to know how your day has been,

and whether you were happy.

So you see,

the meeting ten years ago

is already no longer important.

What matters is

you are standing in front of me now.

I know

you just ended

an...

an unhappy relationship.

You can't accept someone so soon.

And I...

I have nothing now.

I can't give you anything.

But I will work hard.

I will work hard and make money

and become someone

who can match you both mentally

and materially.

Sheng Yang, you...

Wait.

No problem.

I can wait.

I don't give up easily

once I have a target.

But I hope

don't reject me flat out directly, okay?

Jian Bing.

I like you.

Sheng Yang.

We are not suitable for each other.

I'm...

ten years older than you.

Have you ever been in a relationship?

How many girlfriends have you had?

No, none.

Okay, let's not talk about this.

I know why you like me.

Because the film I filmed ten years ago

changed your view of your dad.

So, you

want to realize a dream you had ten years ago.

You can go back and think about it properly.

In our interactions,

you've been

looking at me with the image you had of me ten years ago.

No, I–

Don't interrupt me so quickly.

Also,

how long have we known each other?

Three months?

Two months...

and seven days?

Yes, only two months and seven days.

So you think

I'm fooling around.

No, no.

I think you are very serious right now.

But you are only 26 years old.

Isn't it too hasty

to set your mind on someone

or something?

Well,

I can prove it in the future.

Let me make it clear.

I don't think

you should waste your time on me.

Senior or elder aside,

I don't think you should even be calling me sister.

You should be calling me auntie.

Why do you take age so seriously?

Yes, I'm 26 years old.

Because of that I'm definitely reckless about relationships?

I'm younger than you.

But I don't fall in love with just anyone.

Lest not think about the future.

Besides,

you don't have to keep telling me

about our ten-year age difference.

I know.

But I don't care.

What I care about is that I know

the person I like is you.

For any excuse,

the real reason is you don't like me.

I don't need your analysis

to help me determine whether we are suitable for each other.

I just want you to tell me

whether you

like me.

I don't like you.

Thank you...

for liking me, and telling me so much.

I'm sorry.

Actually, I know

you would definitely reject

my confession today.

But I still want to say,

I don't want to lose this chance I've waited

for ten years

because of my lack of courage or weakness.

Thank you.

For giving me this chance.

[Liang Shanshan: Where are you? Let's go out and eat.] [Jian Bing: I'm a little tired. Let's eat at home.]

What's wrong with your son?

We keep calling him and he's still not coming out for dinner.

He said he had dinner.

With that girl surnamed Pan?

I think so.

Good.

What's good?

I don't think he's in a good mood.

As soon as he came back, he laid down on the bed,

not saying anything.

Did the date go bad?

I don't know.

I'll make a call

and ask Tian Limei.

You're back.

I'm back.

You're back just in time.

-You're so nice. -I ordered a lot of takeout.

These are all your favourites.

Thank you, Liang.

Let's eat. I'll get some porridge.

Liang Shanshan, you ordered...

a little too much.

It's suspicious.

You've been working so hard lately.

Besides,

I've never been stingy.

Have some soup.

Here's your tissue.

What happened?

Is something bothering you?

Did you break up?

The boy who came to your house last time?

I don't know what's going on

but I know there must be a lot that has happened

between you two.

You mean Sheng Yang?

There's really nothing between us.

He confessed to you.

You rejected him.

Did you installed a CCTV on me?

Did you say yes?

He's only 26.

So?

You're ten years younger than me.

He's not a minor.

When I was in third grade,

he was not born yet.

What you need now

someone to stay with you.

Why so serious?

Besides,

you don't know the kids now.

They are more open-minded than you.

The way he looks at me

scares me.

Scares you?

Why?

Because

he's very serious.

You keep saying

you shouldn't be together.

But you never said if

you like him or not.

Sheng Yang this kid is really...

different from any of the boys

that are around you.

He's very good.

Very clean.

Did you fall for him?

I just got divorced, okay?

So what?

No one said that a divorce requires a three-year mourning.

Xue and I

have been together for more than ten years.

Even if I don't feel sad,

it is still the end of

a long and deep relationship.

That means

you don't want to start a new relationship right away.

You know what?

When I'm with this kid,

eating and chatting away,

it felt very comfortable.

But now,

I don't want to be responsible for anyone.

You're a scumbag then.

Did I inherit Xue's scumbag quality?

Really, I'm enjoying

my single life very much now.

I just want to be alone.

I don't want to,

having just left a marriage,

start yet another relationship.

I'm happy alone now.

When I want to be around people, I can look for you,

and some other friends,

to drink and eat together.

When I want to be alone, I can just go home and space out alone.

I don't have to care about anyone's feelings,

or explain anything to anyone.

I understand.

There is light in Sheng Yang’s eyes.

Of course,

Xue used to have light in his eyes too.

But at our age,

we've experienced the process of going from naivety to complication.

The light in our eyes became more and more blurred.

I'm a little tired.

When I think of starting a new relationship,

especially with someone

who's so much younger than me,

I don't want to see

the light in someone's eyes go from bright

to blurred.

Even the best couple

will end up in a mess.

That's true.

So,

I can't mobilize my motivation

to establish a relationship with someone,

date, make adjustments, have problems arise,

quarrel and hate each other.

You make me

feel despair.

That's why I just want to work and make money.

Only work and money won't let me down.

What do you think?

You finally figured it out.

Only work and money

won't betray us.

Yes.

Come.

Come on.

Cheers.

Hao Junjie, stop cleaning up.

Come here.

-Coming. -Your thesis topic selection.

I've made a list for you.

Take a close look.

I think you can pick

from among

these three.

And these information,

I've printed them out for you.

Take a look when you have time.

You must finish

these three books.

It's good for your thesis defense.

Look.

The Implications of Fingering on Musical Tone.

A Brief Analysis of Chopin's Influence on Field.

The Spread and Development of Piano Nocturnes.

The Expression of Strength in Piano Works.

Should I call Jian Shuang over?

Didn't you say you'll take her with you last time?

Yes.

I asked her sister out for dinner

to talk about this.

But it didn't happen.

So you're just letting it go like this?

Maybe she doesn't want it.

No, Fang.

Are you going to never see her again?

That's not what I meant.

You should ask her out then.

The point is we don't know each other well.

If I ask her out,

it'll be awkward if she doesn't agree.

What's so awkward about that?

If you're afraid of the awkwardness,

just call me.

And Jian Shuang.

It won't be awkward

if there are four of us.

Practice hard.

I'll read it later.

Hao Junjie.

Think of your uncle

when you have good ideas like this in the future.

Then, do the dishes

tonight.

As long as this can succeed,

I'll do the dishes

for this entire month.

Director Jian.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Put it here.

Mr. He told me about you.

I finally meet you in person today.

Isn't Mr. He coming?

He has a board meeting.

Otherwise, he will definitely come to see you in person.

Drink mine.

No, thanks.

I'll just drink water.

I've been telling Shanshan

to get an opportunity to work with you.

Look.

We finally got some of your time

Don't say that.

I'm also looking forward to this project myself.

We sent the revised contract

to Mr. He yesterday.

Is there any problem?

No, none at all.

Look.

That's good.

I can start preparing after the contract has been signed.

Time is tight.

There's no rush.

Director Jian,

I have a small question.

How are you going to decide

on the actors?

The casting director gave me some information.

The audition will be held next week.

Don't wait till next week.

We have one here.

Have a look.

She's my niece.

She dances very well.

I think she will

partner up well with Yi Sen.

What do you think?

You niece is already so old?

I got married young.

Does she have any shooting experience?

Yes.

She takes some videos herself.

Vlogs.

Most importantly, she's an influencer.

She has hundreds of thousands of followers.

Sure.

Mr. Huang, please give me a copy of her information.

I'll arrange for her audition next week.

If she's really suitable for this rolem

I have no problem.

She has to do the audition?

Of course.

If

Mr. He agrees to it,

then I-I have no problems with it.

Director Jian, you're using Mr. He to pressure me.

How dare I?

I'm just a director.

I'm afraid

of making mistakes too, right?

How about this?

I just remembered

there seems to be something wrong

with our contract here.

I need to modify it.

How about this?

You go back first.

After the modification,

I'll ask my secretary to contact you.

What do you think?

I think that's fine.

I'll go back and wait for your news.

Hello?

Where are you?

I'm discussing something with someone outside.

Where are you?

Who is this Mr. Huang?

I've never seen him before.

It's our first time meeting and he's already trying to get someone into the cast.

He even threatened me with the contract.

I hate people like this the most.

Mr. Huang?

Calm down. Say it slower.

What happened?

I'm here to sign the contract today.

You should do this in the future.

Don't let me do it.

So annoying.

I didn't get to see Mr. He.

A project manager surnamed Huang

met me instead.

Do you know him?

I know of a Mr. Shao that's by Mr. He.

But I don't remember any Mr. Huang.

What's going on?

You...

don't know him, right?

Okay.

I got it.

She said this won't work and that has to be changed too.

Director Jian.

-Is there anything else? -I heard

she has a big project outside.

Mr. Huang...

-Mr. He is in a meeting. -Who knows?

Let me take you to the guest room.

All right.

I'll call Shanshan.

Director Jian, I...

No.

Mr. He, what's the use of calling at this time?

Mr. He?

Are you busy?

Mr. Huang said you went out for a meeting.

I thought I wouldn't see you today.

I couldn't stop her.

Sorry.

I didn't have a meeting today.

Maybe Mr. Huang's message passed on the wrong message then.

Director Jian.

Last time we drank,

we had a smooth deal.

If you have

any problems with the contract,

just tell me.

I have no problem.

I...

I even brought the official seal here today.

Do you think I don't want to sign it?

But Mr. Huang said

you have to take a look at the contract so I left.

When I got downstairs,

I thought since I'm already at your company,

it's rude to leave

without saying goodbye.

Yes.

Don't blame Mr. Huang.

There must be some misunderstanding.

We can use

any actor.

After all, she's Mr. Huang's niece.

We are all related.

As long as you agree,

I will cooperate.

No, I–

How about this?

Director Jian.

Today,

you go back first.

I need to investigate this matter.

I'll personally get someone to send the contract

to your company tomorrow.

What do you think?

Sure.

I'll leave you to it then.

See you, Mr. He.

Okay.

See her off.

I won't see you off.

No need.

Mr. He, that's not my niece–

I...

Well...

I can't live hiding

like this anymore.

Yes, I can't either.

It's fine if it's behind someone else's back.

But I can't do it behind

Jian Bing's.

How about

we

stop here.

Sure.

Delete your

WeChat records.

Don't look for me if there's nothing else.

From now on,

we are just work partners.

Let me remind you.

Stay away from those young boys in the future.

They're unreliable.

Look for someone who's similar to you.

Who are you to remind me?

What about those you're looking for?

All of them have dorito faces and silicon breasts.

I'm doing this for your own good.

Well,

the one from the karaoke.

From one look, I can tell they're up to no good.

Do you think just because you're a scumbag

the whole world is just like you?

No, I mean, why would I harm you?

Didn't you harm Jian Bing?

Can we stop talking about this?

Let's move on, okay?

You're right.

Even Jian Bing has moved on.

It's good that we can move on.

No, wait. How did she move on?

She's got someone?

Is he the guy

who took her to the hotel last time?

I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

Last time you called me

and asked me to fix the sewer.

I thought she was suspicious,

as if there's someone in her house.

I'll call her.

Are you crazy?

It's none of your business.

-No– -You two are divorced.

What are you doing?

Tell me.

Tell me who's that man.

Do you still want to rekindle your relationship?

You're right.

We're divorced. It's none of my business.

But don't be silly like her.

It's even more none of your business if it's me.

Who are you to me?

Fine.

From now on,

you go your way

and me on my own.

Alright.

I'm leaving.

What?

I want the bill.

To foot the bill.

I thought too much.

Give it to me.

Are you...

too used to paying the bill

for your clients?

Just go.

I'll pay for it.

Be careful.

Waiter.

Hello.

How can I help you?

It's 108 yuan in total.

You can take a look.

The design of our booth this time

shouldn't overlook the integration

of the product because of

overemphasis on our design.

For the lighting,

I won't choose lights with high voltage and are too bright.

It's hot now too.

If the temperature gets too high,

and the reflection of the light is too strong,

it will not be good for the product we are exhibiting.

Note it down.

Pathing

is our focus this time.

Take a look.

The mall has limited space.

So our design

must be calculated based on

the number of people in the mall.

We must avoid

repeated paths

and ineffective flow.

In any way,

our design concept this time is

of reasonable costs,

highlights the theme,

aesthetically pleasing, and easy to implement.

[Focus on the viewing experience Lighting]

We can use flexible exhibit assembly.

In that case, we can use them repeatedly

to save cost.

Got it?

Yes.

Write it down.

Who's going to check out the venue this Saturday?

Me.

Aren't you going to...

[Lighting]

I think that dress is really pretty.

It's still early.

Why don't we have a cup of coffee here?

Sure.

Hello, can I order?

Hello, please scan and order.

Let me do it, Mr. Fang.

No.

I still owe you a meal.

Let me do it.

I've scanned it.

What would you like?

Americano is fine.

Where's Junjie?

He should be on the way.

What does he want to drink?

Forget about him.

Let's wait until he comes.

Okay.

Let them order by themselves.

Tell Jian Shuang

we are in the cafe.

Yes.

My sister sent me a WeChat message.

She asked us to come over.

My uncle also sent me a WeChat message.

Well...

Let's go then.

If not they're gonna nag again.

Mr. Chen, look.

Based on the original foundation,

we added

a logo plaque at the back.

And the logo here,

we've raised it a bit.

To ensure that the band and our product

are not conflicting.

Also,

we have also adjusted

the color of the logo slightly

to complement the stage lighting.

Watch your step.

Not bad.

Very good.

It's exactly what we thought.

That's good.

I was very surprised

when I got the design blueprint.

It's very creative.

I'm very satisfied with the

actual results today.

Thank you, Mr. Chen.

Actually,

the whole design

was done by

a young and upcoming designer of our company.

Sheng Yang. Sheng Yang.

Come here.

Let me introduce.

This is our company's top designer Sheng Yang.

Hello.

This young lad is very serious.

From the draft to the factory communication,

he's been keeping an eye on everything in the company.

He keeps a close eye on the details.

How close?

You haven't slept for a week.

He's very serious.

You worked hard, young man.

It's my duty.

Okay.

I'm looking forward

to the official event then.

Don't worry.

It was hard to get this band.

Don't make any mistakes.

Mr. Chen.

Don't worry.

Our company has done hundreds of activities like this.

We have enough experience.

Okay.

Okay, I'll see you off.

This way.

You two go home.

The construction is almost done.

I'll take care of the rest.

That's impossible.

You should be the one going home.

Alright, stop it.

I have to do a few more tests.

Just go back and rest.

Take a good rest.

Listen.

You'll be busy tomorrow.

Let me go to the bathroom first.

Has Ms. Jian contacted you these few days?

It's nothing.

Look at me.

How many times have I been rejected by girls?

I'm still alive and kicking.

You just need to get used to it.

Besides, it's normal for her to reject you.

Think about it.

Both of you have quite a huge gap

in terms of age, social status and income.

She's a director.

She has seen all kinds of young attractive men.

I admit that

you are indeed handsome.

-But– -Look.

I keep thinking that this frame here

is higher than the one on the left.

See if I'm right.

Look.

Don't interrupt and don't run away.

There's no outsider here.

Just tell me the truth.

I'm analyzing

why you failed.

What reason can there be to failures?

I'm just not good enough.

Then you're totally wrong.

This is just a superficial reason.

To be frank,

I think you scared her.

Mr. Fang.

Well,

I will count on you to

keep a close eye on Jian Shuang's studies.

No problem.

I'll keep an eye on her for you.

I will ask Junjie to help Jian Shuang out too.

So that they can improve together.

I'm going to be honest with you.

Our meeting today

is to bring your sister and my uncle together.

I want to give them a chance to be alone.

How old

is your uncle?

37 years old. One year older than your sister.

Has he ever been married?

He's divorced.

Her ex-wife found a foreigner in America.

He's also divorced.

After the divorce, he hasn't found a suitable partner.

So he's been single till now.

My uncle is quite sentimental.

Why does your uncle have such short legs?

They look almost as long as my sister's.

Does he work out?

He's too thin.

He's not thin.

It's a matter of angle.

His hairline is a bit worrying too.

It's receding to the back of his forehead.

Can you stop paying attention to people's appearance?

Shouldn't you ask about his temper,

personality, and values?

Ask your uncle to come to the ice rink

and teach him skating.

It's not a bad thing to train his body.

I know. You don't have to tell me this.

Stop looking. What are you looking at?

You scared me.

I'll look from here.

What you said

may be useful to other girls.

She's older.

She just returned to being single and regained her freedom.

What's her biggest fear?

What she fears the most is that a man insists on being with her.

Looking all serious,

restricting her personal freedom.

I'm looking all serious?

W-what do you mean?

Have you seen "The Shawshank Redemption"?

The main lead escaped from the prison

and shouted "freedom!" in the rain.

But there you are behind him shouting "Come back quickly!

I built a new prison for you!"

How can she not run?

Let me ask you.

You're so funny.

"Freedom" was "Braveheart," bro.

Is that the point?

You understand the underlying meaning,

right?

Listen.

You are too serious.

You need to follow a rhythm,

read the room,

and take it slowly

when it comes to confessions.

Don't alert them

and give them pressure.

I saw them!

Slow down.

Don't fall flat on your face.

You're already ugly to start with.

The cafe on the second floor.

She's upstairs.

Who?

That

Director Jian.

Did you see it clearly?

It must be her.

With whom?

A...

man.

A man.

So, Jian Shuang's major course and

and thesis supervision

will be with Junjie, right?

Yes, they will be together.

I...

How do I pay you?

No need. How can I charge you?

No, this is a different matter.

Just accept the normal tuition fee.

How about this?

Treat me to dinner

as a fee.

Once every two weeks.

Is it...

too much?

No, no.

But...

this is not very appropriate.

And for my line of work,

my schedule is not fixed.

It doesn't matter.

We can save it for now.

Not bad.

They look good together.

They seem to be having a good chat.

Right?

Don't expose yourself.

I won't.

Look at your grin.

Grinning so wide.

It's not a loss–

To be with my uncle.

Hush.

They can't hear us. They're so far away.

They're not answering the phone.

Are they lost?

Didn't they choose this place?

It was quite confusing for me when we came just now.

The mall is too big. There's everything.

Let's go.

Oh right,

what movie did you say you like?

I saw a movie theater here.

I...

watch everything.

How about

we

find a restaurant

and wait for them while eating.

Mr. Fang, let’s not wait.

We've been waiting for an hour.

I have work to do.

I'll treat you next time.

Sorry, let's go.

Let me text him then.

What do you usually do

during shootings?

I'm an avertisement director.

I just shoot commercials.

The drums and speakers,

and the cables must be checked.

Do those celebrities put on airs a lot

like the rumors say they do?

Not all of them.

It depends.

No mistake can happen tomorrow.

Sir, you must be careful.

Don’t touch the shopfront.

[Boyue Tea]

Be careful.

Safety first.

You can come to me

if you need to look for music.

For real.

Okay.

Do you like jazz

or classical music?

Between these two, probably jazz.

I heard it's really tiring

during filming.

Do you eat lunch boxes all the time?

Yes.

Come closer. Yes.

Jian Bing?

Yes.

We only eat lunch boxes.

Sometimes we get extra food.

But that's still takeout.

When I went to your company last time,

I saw you were always really...

very busy...

From now on,

don't worry. I'll help you

keep an eye on Jian Shuang for you in school.

Just tell me if you need anything.

Don't stand on ceremony.

Thank you.

By the way,

there's something I want to ask.

Well,

you're ten years older than Jian Shuang.

Are you two really...

We are sisters.

It's good to have an elder sister.

I have a sister too.

We can take care of each other.

How are you going to go back later?

I drove here.

You drove? That's great.

I sent my car for maintenance.

Can you give me a ride?

No problem.

[Boyue Tea]

Tea?

Do you like tea?

No, I only drink coffee.
