[Sunshine by My Side]

[Episode 18]

Mom, I'm off to work.

Yang, off to work?

Morning.

Morning.

Sis.

Are you sick?

How did you recognize me?

No, I didn't.

Wrong person.

I mistook you for someone else.

Hello.

Hello.

May I ask

which floor Hongyun Advertising Agency is on?

Take the elevator to the second floor, and turn right.

I also want to know

if there's any other advertising agency

in this building, please.

Hold on. Let me check.

[Recruitment Information Board]

[Recruitment]

[Now Hiring: Designers]

Not bad.

But

I have a question for you.

Why did you leave

your previous company?

Well...

Every number in this sequence

is the sum of the previous two numbers.

It's also a very common permutation

in nature.

So many people believe that

the products designed

on the basis of the Fibonacci sequence

are more aesthetic.

Besides being used

in the overall proportions of design,

it can also be used

when setting the spacing between letters.

I see.

The client talked a lot about it, but I didn't get it.

I didn't know it before.

I learned it from someone else.

Was it Team Leader?

No. It was someone who used to sit here.

Oh, right. You can have this book.

It's a gift from that former colleague.

I hope it can be of help.

I'll get back to work.

Hello?

Hello?

You miss me?

Are you crazy?

I just want to ask you

how Sheng Yang is doing recently.

We haven't been in touch.

So you're not calling because you care about me?

Who would care about you?

Then why are you calling me

instead of Sheng Yang?

I'm afraid I'd bother him.

You must have nothing serious to do and play games every day.

Hey.

Do you think you have a CCTV in my house

or what?

Why do you think I play games every day?

I've also been trying hard to find a job.

Okay?

Without you two,

it's really boring in the company.

Looks like

Team Leader didn't assign enough work to you.

So you have so much time to kill.

How about I call Team Leader

and tell him that

an employee surnamed Pan

makes phone calls during working hours?

I just miss you two.

I know.

Well,

we did

leave quite suddenly.

The three of us didn't even get to take a group photo together.

Let's have dinner together some day.

My treat.

Nonsense. How can I let you treat me to dinner?

Listen, after I find a job,

I'll treat you to fancy dinners three days in a row.

Okay.

Deal.

Deal.

All right.

Bye.

Dad, Mom, I'm back.

Yang, you're back.

Wash your hands. Time to eat.

You must have had a long day.

Come on.

Here.

No hurry. We've been waiting for you.

-Let's eat. -Coming.

Madam Luo.

What's the occasion today?

You cooked so many dishes.

There's a promotion at the supermarket today.

Every employee was gifted a prepaid card.

It'd be a waste if I didn't use it.

I bought a lot of fruits as well.

Bring some to work tomorrow.

Okay.

Let's eat, Mom.

Let's eat.

I'll get you a bowl for the soup.

Yes.

I want to try the spare ribs.

Are they good?

So good.

I cook spare ribs

even better than restaurants.

Of course.

Why don't you

bring some to work tomorrow?

It's better than ordering takeout, right?

Right. We won't be able to eat them all.

We shouldn't let them go to waste.

Yes.

Okay. I'll bring some.

As long as Mom gets them ready for me.

Right.

Try the chicken soup.

Have some chicken soup.

So delicious.

Mom.

Why aren't you eating?

I am.

Massaging these three acupoints can help sooth the nerves.

Three acupoints?

Tonight.

Let Mom give you a massage tonight.

You should learn it too.

Right, you should massage more as well.

I'll massage myself.

It can help you sleep better.

Alright.

I'll learn it too.

It's important to rest well.

Mom, the spare ribs are so delicious.

Come on, eat more.

Eat more.

Thank you, Mom.

Why aren't you eating?

What's wrong with you today?

Come on.

I'll eat.

I'll eat.

Bing.

Over here.

Sis.

Have a seat.

Sit.

Sit.

I ordered two cups of coffee.

I'll go get them.

No need. Let the waiters serve them...

Here.

This is yours.

Come on, have a seat.

It's so kind of you.

I also wanted to make it more casual.

Actually, I counted.

We've only seen each other twice, so we don't know each other very well.

It was quite awkward for me

to ask you out.

But apart from you,

I don't know

anyone else in this industry.

I understand.

Feel free to tell me what you need.

I'll do my best

within my capabilities.

I'll say it then.

Sheng Yang has been looking for a job recently.

That kid is thin-skinned.

He didn't tell you that he lost his job, did he?

No.

When did it happen?

I don't know.

I didn't dare to ask.

[Let's Sway Twin Oars]

You're here.

When did you start liking this?

Order yourself.

Boss. I want mine with extra fried tofu skin,

pork intestines,

and a fried egg.

Extra spicy and hot,

with two spoonful of vinegar, right?

Right.

Got it.

Even the boss knows you.

You've never mentioned this restaurant before.

Boss, I want the same thing as his.

But no vinegar, please.

No problem.

Just a moment.

Okay.

Young man,

why didn't your girlfriend come with you today?

Girlfriend?

She can't eat spicy food recently.

So it's Jian Bing who likes this.

Stop it.

How's your job hunting going?

What do you think?

All those companies' HR turned me down for reference checking.

I guess Wang badmouthed us behind our back.

Isn't it the same with you?

Take care.

Let me tell you something.

I think my mom

knows that I lost my job.

How did she know?

How could I know how she knew?

I mean how did you know that she knows?

She called you, didn't she?

She did, once.

You must have slipped it out.

No way.

What I said in that phone call was perfect

and flawless.

Forget it. She got to know about it some way.

I just feel like

she's been acting strange lately.

She's been cooking extra dishes for me every meal

and putting apples in my bag.

And the way she's been talking

is way more gentle than before.

So weird.

So you two

are both acting in front of each other now?

I was thinking about telling her about this

after I find a new job.

It's okay. It won't take long

for you to find a job.

Don't worry.

That kid has always been like this.

He only tells us good news, and hides bad news from us.

He keeps everything to himself.

He wouldn't tell me or his dad.

I thought

I'd turn a blind eye to it.

Because I thought a little setback

is good for him.

But it's been almost two weeks.

He's been pretending to go to work every day

instead of staying at home.

He's been out there, running around the city.

He lost a lot of weight.

I feel

really bad for him.

He must be worried that you and his dad would be worried.

I'm not meeting you for your connections.

I'm...

I'm meeting you for...

Actually, it is for your connections.

Sis, you really...

You're so funny.

Just say it.

Here's what I think.

You must know a lot of people since you have your own company.

Please ask your friends

if any of them is hiring for me.

If any of them is hiring,

please get an interview for Sheng Yang.

Give him a chance to meet them and have a try.

Okay?

Oh, right.

Well,

this is his resume. Take a look.

[Sheng Yang's Personal Portfolio]

Although Sheng Yang is my son and I am his mother,

I don't really know

if he's capable and reliable

at work.

I'm thinking maybe you can

let him have a try and get him an interview.

Or let him work there for a few days.

If he's not capable enough,

you can ask him to leave.

If he is capable,

you see...

I see what you mean.

I'll keep Sheng Yang's resume.

Actually, I worked with Sheng Yang once.

He is very capable.

So you don't have to worry.

Our company happens to be hiring now.

I'll ask the HR

to give him a strict assessment.

So this doesn't count as using my connections.

I think it's more like

having a talent sent to our company.

Really?

That's great.

That's really great.

Sorry for the trouble.

Not at all.

If I had any other choice,

I wouldn't have asked you out.

You've got the right person, haven't you?

How about this?

Let's have dinner together

some day.

My treat.

Just you and me.

This has nothing to do

with Sheng Yang's job.

Okay.

Actually,

I think

I like you very much.

I think we get along well.

Can we become

friends, like sisters?

Just like those young sisters.

They can hang out together.

They can go watch a movie,

go to a bar,

or have a spa together.

We can do that too, right?

Of course,

the premise is

if you don't mind that I'm old.

I don't.

Okay.

How have you been with Jian Bing lately?

I sent her a few WeChat messages.

She said she was fine.

And only a few check-in messages

after that.

What are you thinking?

That was such a good opportunity.

You should have talked to her more and got closer to her.

You're just too self-conscious.

For real.

It hurts your pride

that she turned you down once.

So you stay away from her.

You know what?

When dealing with a woman, you have to be good to her constantly,

and push her along non-stop.

Isn't she cold like a piece of ice?

She's still a fragile piece of ice now,

while you are like the sun.

You have to warm her

and melt her,

right?

When did you become a relationship expert?

I've always been an expert, okay?

Haven't you heard that saying?

A man needs to get married first before he builds his career.

You're not getting any luck in your career now.

What does that mean?

It means now is the time

for you to be lucky in your love life.

Listen.

If you still don't get to hold her hands

before I go back to my hometown,

I won't be able to leave in peace.

What do you mean?

You're going back to your hometown?

What's going on?

My dad knew I lost my job,

so he transferred me some money.

Not much. Only 30,000 yuan.

What are you thinking?

After I got the money,

I paid the bills for my credit card,

Ant Credit Pay, and JD Baitiao.

There was 10,000 yuan left after that.

My rent is 4,000 yuan.

I can last for a month and a half, considering my life expenses.

But as the saying goes,

people will fight to live

when confronted with the danger of death.

Also, wealth is obtained from taking risks.

So, money

is not for saving.

We need to let money have its babies.

Speak in human language, Bro.

What do you want to do exactly?

I made a reservation for tonight

and invited some clients we used to be on good terms with.

Look.

We can drink, sing karaoke,

and get closer to them.

They have pretty good background.

I think after this meal,

they may offer us jobs.

Think about it.

A meal will cost

5,000 yuan.

But they may find us

jobs with a salary of 20,000 yuan a month.

Don't you think

it's worth it?

Let me ask you.

Do you know what you should do now?

Well.

Although I don't have much money now,

I can still pay for this meal.

Song Chen.

I'm talking to you.

Just because you bought them drinks,

they'd offer you jobs?

I'm telling you, clients are clients.

They didn't treat you well

because of who you are.

It was only because you were from July Advertising.

What's behind the clients are their companies,

and companies only hire people for their ability and qualifications.

If you're really good,

you don't have to buy them drinks.

They will come to you themselves.

Friends need to be made, right?

Friends?

Bro, wake up, okay?

Will they

treat you as a friend?

What can I do now?

I can't find a job.

I can't just

stay at home, play games,

and eat instant noodles all day, right?

I just want to make some changes.

I just want to take a risk.

Tonight.

Either I become friends with those bosses,

or I'll go back to my hometown after that.

Just tell me if you'll go with me.

Song Chen, listen to me.

Don't go.

Find an excuse and cancel it.

I've invited them.

And I've made a reservation.

I can't cancel it.

Forget it if you don't want to come.

[Sheng Yang]

[Are you feeling better?]

[Come on!]

Here's to you.

Cheers.

Let's drink together.

Okay.

Come on. Let's have a drink together.

Come on.

Let me know if you need anything.

Okay?

Go propose toasts with me.

Why are you sitting here?

Go propose toasts yourself.

Don't drink too much.

Don't drink too much.

The gesture is enough.

Alright.

Handsome, let's have a drink.

Bro.

Come on.

We're here to have fun.

Let's drink.

Have fun.

-Drink up. -Drink some.

Okay.

Water is enough for me.

It's boring to drink water. Have some wine.

I'm allergic to alcohol.

Waiter.

Bring us some more wine.

Okay, Sir.

Thank you.

How boring it is to play on your phone.

Come on.

Come on. Let's drink together.

Your girlfriend?

Is she checking on you?

[Jian Bing]

So I guessed it right.

Give it back.

I need to take this. Give it back to me.

I...

Hey.

Okay.

Where are you going? My phone!

What are you doing?

Hey.

What are you doing? I need to take this call.

Give it to me.

I just wanted to take you

-somewhere quieter -Come on.

to answer the phone.

Hello?

What are you doing?

I'm outside.

What's up?

Anything wrong?

Is it a good time to talk?

Yes. Go ahead.

Go ahead. What's wrong?

It's nothing.

We can talk tomorrow if it's not a good time for you.

It's okay. I can talk.

Handsome, I'm so cold.

Can I borrow your coat?

Wait a minute.

What are you doing? I'm on the phone.

You're not a gentleman at all.

You don't even want to lend me your coat.

I brought you here.

So boring.

Hello?

That was just some random drunk.

I don't know her.

Don't overthink it.

I...

Actually,

I...

I heard that

you're looking for a new job.

How did you know?

It doesn't matter.

Our company is hiring...

No need.

I mean

I can find a job on my own.

I don't need your help. Thank you.

Are you sure?

Our company really wants to hire you.

Are you sure you don't want an interview?

Yes.

Very sure.

Okay.

If you need anything...

Handsome, are you done?

I'm freezing to death.

Have fun.

Hello?

Hello?

Didn't you see I was on the phone?

What do you want?

Why are you so testy?

I was just worried that you'd get lost

and couldn't find which room it is.

[Sheng Yang] [Decline Answer]

[Jian Bing Sheng Yang: I can handle job hunting myself. You and my mother don't need to worry too much.]

[Come on!]

[Come on!]

[Come on!]

[Come on]

Come on.

We're here.

Be careful.

Sit down.

Get me a bin.

Here.

I feel so sick.

All right. You'll be better after throwing up.

Here, wipe your mouth.

Have some water.

The wine must be adulterated, you know?

Feeling better?

Yang.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have treated them to drinks today.

I just want to make money in a decent way, right?

So that I can take you to fancy dinners

and have you covered in the future, right?

Okay, I got it.

Don't worry.

After I find a job,

I'll pay your rent for you.

I won't let you sleep on the street.

Yang.

I feel so sorry.

I shouldn't have treated them to drinks today.

But I just hope I can

-take you to fancy dinners. -fancy dinners.

You know?

I know.

-I know, Bro. -I hope I can have you covered.

Alright.

Get some rest.

-You vomited so much. -I'm sorry.

You don't need to say sorry.

I'm the one who should say sorry.

I shouldn't have let you drink so much.

I shouldn't have let you drink adulterated wine.

Lift your legs.

Come on

Sorry, Yang.

Alright, stop talking.

Go to sleep.

Have a good sleep.

Water.

I'm putting it on the table.

I'm leaving.

With me here,

everything's going to be okay.

Everything's going to be okay.

Yang.

I've washed the apples and pears for you.

You can eat them directly,

or wash them again before eating.

I made you

beef with tomatoes

and fried eggs with chopped chili.

Mom.

Don't prepare these things for me anymore.

What will you eat if I don't?

I lost my job.

You lost your job?

When did that happen?

Enough, Madam Luo.

You already knew. Why are you still acting?

Your acting was too dramatic.

Have a seat.

How would I know?

What happened?

I'll tell you about it in detail

in case you overthink it.

It's because of a project I was in charge of.

There was a stage accident.

The specific reason is still under investigation.

I've been following up as well,

but there's no result yet.

So I may not be able to find a new job

for the time being.

Because on surface, it seems that the accident

happened

because of an error in my design.

But don't worry.

I have some savings.

I'm also taking on some part-time projects.

I should be able to support myself.

The money I give you every month

will also be paid as usual.

Not a penny less.

No.

I don't care about this.

I don't care about this.

Mom.

You have to trust me.

The cause of the accident

was definitely not my design.

After the truth is revealed,

I'm sure I can find a better job.

It's just...

Can you stop asking Jian Bing for help?

I only did it because

you didn't tell us

about such a big matter.

You keep it to yourself all the time.

You've been looking for a job

out there,

and you had to act in front of us

when you came back home.

I feel

really bad.

You're only 26,

and you're already under so much pressure.

But your dad and I can't help you at all.

Mom, don't be like this.

Yang.

I also want to give you the best.

But your dad and I don't have the ability.

In the end, you're on your own.

Mom.

It's normal for young people to lose jobs and get new ones.

Luo Meijuan, let me ask you.

Do you believe in your son?

Of course I believe in you.

You've always been a good boy.

You never made me worry.

That's it.

Don't worry about this as well.

Just believe

I can take care of it.

I've been working so hard since I was a kid

so that you and my dad can rely on me

instead of me relying on you all the time.

It's not a bad thing to rely on others.

We want you to

rely on us.

Wipe your tears.

Stop crying, Mom.

That's why

I secretly went to see Jian Bing.

I don't want you to struggle that hard.

If she can help you,

isn't that good?

But I don't want to trouble her.

I don't want to trouble her either.

But I think she is different from others.

She has a good impression of you.

She's willing to help you.

Mom.

It's exactly because she's different from others

that I can't trouble her.

Meijuan.

You've promised me just now.

You'll believe in me, right?

Give me some time.

I can find a better job

without anyone's help.

Okay?

You've promised me. Why are you still crying?

Stop crying.

You will be less pretty if you keep crying.

I'm not pretty anyway.

Who said that?

Your dad.

I'll teach him a lesson when he comes back.

Don't cry.

Let's talk after Xue arrives.

Come on.

Have you recovered?

Why are you in such a hurry to have a meeting?

I've recovered.

Really?

What's up?

I'm here to discuss with you

about Mr. He's project.

What's to discuss?

We'll just make compensations

and apologize as we should.

Xue has told me what you think.

I don't agree.

Talking about quitting the project and quitting the company.

We didn't do anything wrong.

I got injured that day.

So I wasn't thinking straight.

That's good. What do you think now?

I've made a new plan.

You two, take a look.

I'll use my own money

for follow-up shooting.

You two can stay out of it.

I'll try my best to make up for the loss I caused to the company.

The spokesperson wouldn't accept it

if I continue the shooting, right?

I'll finish the shooting with the kids first.

At least it'll be a complete piece of work.

I'll use the settings and props from before.

Right.

The footages we shot on the rainy day can still be of use.

I've changed all the scenes after that into rainy scenes.

I just added some special effects.

Here's the concept design.

I drew it last night.

[Concept Design]

Anyway, I think

I don't want to give up on this project.

I won't return the deposit either.

And I don't think it's necessary

to use your money to solve this problem.

I myself believe that the complete work

will be better than the footages.

And I think the client will approve.

What if the spokesperson also likes it?

I'll add him in then.

Are you done?

Yes.

Don't you think it's superfluous?

I also believe that

the result will be very good.

But it's still an effort to make up for the loss made.

Also, the special effects.

They will cost extra money, right?

Compared to the compensations you're about to make,

the cost of the special effects

is nothing, right?

You just can't accept it.

Right?

If we proceed according to your plan,

we complete the shooting,

and deliver it to the client,

what happens if the client is still not satisfied?

Won't it be a waste of your time

and money?

At least

I'll have tried my best make up for it.

Isn't this a gamble?

What?

Do you think I'm not likely to win?

No, no.

I trust your ability.

But...

But I'll take all the risks.

I think that's a good idea.

But don't use your own savings only.

Our savings and your savings

are the same thing, right?

We opened this company together.

We should take the profits and losses together.

Right. Besides, you've just recovered.

Don't work so hard.

Since it's the same thing,

we don't have to waste any more time arguing about this.

I'm serious about this.

And I must take this bet,

because the stake is our company.

You know what my thoughts are now.

I won't take money from the company

or the two of you.

But I'll need to use

the manpower and equipment of our company.

Thank you, bosses.

I'll go check the footages of the rainy day.

Don't you think there's something strange about her today?

Yes.

What happened?

Did you talk nonsense outside?

What did I say?

Is the lighting ready?

I'll start if it's ready.

Lift that light higher.

Okay.

Move this inside.

Okay.

Director.

Why are there so many people on set?

They're all here to help.

For free.

Thank you for your hard work.

I'll give you red packets after work.

Thank you, Director.

Director.

Of course we'll support you.

Director, don't mention it.

I won't help you if you give me money.

Okay, I'll buy you drinks then.

By the way, Director.

It's almost ready.

Adjust and check again for the last time.

We'll start shooting at dawn.

Okay.

Get ready. We'll start shooting.

The raincoats have arrived.

Get the kids changed.

Okay.

Remember to remind them to be careful when shooting rainy scenes.

Tie it tight.

Come on, kids.

Put on your raincoats.

It's going to rain.

Make sure to be careful.

Don't run around.

Do you hear me?

Yuan, make sure the equipment is well protected in the rain.

Roger that.

Time is limited and the task is heavy.

Thank you for your hard work in advance.

Hurry up.

They have a really tight schedule today.

They've only got the venue booked for two days.

They only have half an hour to eat.

I know.

Is it heavy? Let me carry it for you.

Stay away from me.

Listen.

Watch your mouth.

Got it.

Hello.

Shanshan is here.

You started working before dawn.

-Thank you for your hard work. -Hello, Director Xue.

We brought you some food and drinks.

Director Xue, thank you for these.

Some snacks for you.

Let me.

It's nothing.

Thank you, everyone.

Not at all.

Thank you, Shanshan.

Thank you, Director Xue. Thank you, Shanshan.

No need.

Thank you, Director Xue. Thank you, Shanshan.

You don't have to thank us.

Director Jian is the one working here.

Thank you, everyone.

Thank you, Director Jian!

Thank you, Director Jian!

Shanshan and Director Xue.

Eat.

Eat while it's hot.

Thank you.

Not at all.

Why are you two here?

You're injured and working overtime.

The budget has been severely reduced this time,

and there're only few people here to help you.

Of course we have to come.

-Shanshan. -Come on.

Sit here.

Okay.

Director Xue.

Thank you.

It's okay.

Come on, eat this.

Director.

Shanshan.

Director Xue.

You guys talk. I'll go first.

Okay, there's food we brought here.

Okay.

Eat fast.

Okay.

Filming Team, hurry up and eat.

One second.

This time,

if there's anything you need on set,

like if you need water, food,

or night snacks, it's on me.

I'll pay for it myself.

Right, if you

need any help here,

just call me.

I can come anytime.

Don't worry.

I won't interfere with your directing

while I'm here.

I'll just give you a hand.

Come on.

How can I eat so much by myself?

Eat.

Let's eat together.

No.

-We already ate. -I already ate.

I didn't eat with him.

I ate with that client.

I ordered takeout.

Here.

Lin.

-Well... -What?

Get it done.

You have an umbrella there.

Hurry up and get the rain-shield cloth.

What's wrong?

Yuan, what's going on?

Get us the rain-shield cloth.

I'll take a look.

Get Shanshan an umbrella.

Okay.

Let's have dinner together tonight, the three of us.

Okay.

What happened?

Director, this thing is broken. It can't be hung up.

Fix it now.

So you...

You've ordered?

So many dishes.

Have a seat.

I...

Should I sit here?

You can stay outside for a while.

I'll have a talk with Liang Shanshan.

Well...

You two...

Have a good chat.

Close the door.

When do you plan to tell me about your relationship?
