(Only For Love)

(Episode 16)

Did you tell Mr. Fan the wrong place?

He can't make it, he has something to attend to.

He can't make it?

Then I'll call for a cab.

I don't ride in other people's cars.

Then shall we continue waiting?

We could also walk.

Walk?

Do you really want to walk? It's a bit far.

It's so comfortable here. It feels like a good place for retirement.

Miss Zheng, you're on the rise in your career

and is already thinking about retirement.

A good life is the motivation for our hard work.

I don't know why, but as I walk with you by the river,

looking at the scenery,

I suddenly started thinking about the future.

What plans do you have then?

You better have a good reason to call.

(Sorry, wrong number.)

Why is Uncle so scary?

It's so late. Is he busy with something?

Could it be that I ruined his plan?

Maybe he's on a date with his girlfriend.

Maybe...

Yue, what are you mumbling about?

I'm thinking,

if a man gets irritated and doesn't want to talk to you

when you call him,

chances are he's with another woman.

What's going on in that little head of yours every day?

Hello.

(What's the matter? I'm busy.)

I'm off work, you...

(I still have work to do, I'll talk to you later.)

- Are you sure? - What?

About what you just said, how men react...

I'm sure.

Then tell me,

if a man is with another woman, what else would he say?

He would say, "I'm busy".

And he would impatiently ask, "What's the matter?"

Exactly.

Why are you suddenly so interested in this?

Nothing. I'm just asking. I'm leaving now.

(Professor Yu, did you receive the surprise I gave you?)

Surprise?

I did, did you buy these albums?

(These are too expensive.)

(I appreciate the gesture.)

(Take them with you next time you come to the college.)

(Money can't buy happiness.)

(Besides, these were free.)

(Are you off work?)

(If you haven't eaten, let me treat you to the meal I owe you.)

(You just returned to China.)

(I'm sure you haven't tried many restaurants.)

(I know all the good restaurants in Jiangcheng.)

(What do you like to eat? I'll treat you.)

(I'm sorry, I don't have time tonight.)

Why is he rejecting me again?

(It's okay, I can wait until you're done.)

(Or we can go to a restaurant near your college.)

(You need to have dinner anyway.)

(No, thanks. I'll just go to the cafeteria.)

This isn't a polite decline.

This is a direct rejection.

You didn't even make up an excuse.

Got it.

Shu Yi.

You still haven't answered my question from earlier.

I...

I haven't decided yet.

You...

Take your time.

I'll prepare an outline for you.

I have an interview for my column tomorrow.

I'm going back first. Good night.

Good night.

Young, promising and handsome Professor Yu,

your takeout is here.

(This is considered we're having dinner together.)

(Thanks.)

(If you really want to thank me, )

(can you fulfill a request?)

(Send me pictures of your meal too.)

Professor Yu, your girlfriend ordered this, right?

No.

We're leaving now. Bye.

He ate a little of the dishes from Xu's Kitchen.

He didn't touch the spicy dishes.

He finished everything from Yubaoxuan.

(You can't eat spicy food. I'll keep that in mind for next time.)

(You like Yubaoxuan's food.)

(Next time, we can dine in the restaurant.)

Yubaoxuan?

I don't have high requirements for food.

What's more important to me is the person eating with me.

(Miss Qin, it must have cost you a fortune)

(to get those out-of-print albums of Song Yue Lan.)

But sometimes, money can't solve all the problems.

When evaluating something,

you have to consider whether it's necessary or worth it.

(Being with someone you like, even eating street food can bring happiness.)

(Listening to music on your phone can be delightful too.)

Miss Qin, I also hope that you

can find someone who appreciates your interests,

(someone to dine at Yubaoxuan with)

(and collect Song Yue Lan's albums together.)

Qin Shi Yue.

You can't give up so easily.

He accepted the meal you sent and even thanked you.

He just doesn't like you spending money recklessly.

Now that you know, be more careful next time.

(Sent to the wrong person?)

(Um?)

(No.)

(I saved you some time so that you can prepare the outline.)

Calm down.

It's not too late to prepare the outline after the interview tomorrow.

What are you doing here?

Did you forget that I live across from you?

Miss Zheng, this is the coffee Mr. Shi ordered for you.

Get in the car.

Thank you for the ride, Mr. Shi.

Thank you for the coffee.

Miss Zheng?

What brings you here today?

Hello, I'm a journalist from Financial Introduce, Zheng Shu Yi.

You're Miss Zheng?

Then let me show you around first.

Visit your factory?

Did you forget? I visited it yesterday.

All right, let me take you upstairs then.

This way, please.

Mr. Shi, where should we go now?

This way, please.

This way, please.

Miss Zheng, please wait here for a moment. I'll report to Mr. Jiang.

Mr. Jiang, Miss Zheng from Financial Introduce is here.

Tell her to wait for a while.

- Miss Zheng is... - Mr. Jiang.

It's you?

I had an appointment with you at 10 am.

It's already 15 minutes past.

Mr. Jiang, this is the journalist from Financial Introduce, Zheng Shu Yi.

Miss Zheng?

Then yesterday...

Mr. Shi and I are good friends.

Miss Zheng, you really have a wide social circle.

Not only did you know Mr. Guan Xiang Cheng,

but you're also a good friend of Mr. Shi.

We also got to know each other after the conflict.

Since Mr. Shi is your friend,

we can still consider cooperating with Yunchuang.

That's not necessary.

Mr. Jiang, you can handle this matter professionally.

Yunchuang is a professional company.

I can't influence Mr. Shi's thoughts.

Mr. Jiang, can we start?

Certainly.

When I just graduated from university, I interviewed with many companies.

They all considered me an inexperienced graduate.

That's normal.

In the end, I had no choice

but to work for a small factory selling batteries.

Little did I know, I ended up where I am today.

I've read about your entrepreneurial story

in the "Financial Vision" magazine.

I believe the readers would be more interested in your current self

and the current state of Zhanlan.

Yes, of course.

Our initial goal in establishing Zhanlan

was to create the best batteries in China

and let our batteries go abroad and go global.

To this day,

we have never stopped moving forward and never become complacent.

Because we bear the responsibility and mission.

What are your thoughts on the recent incident?

Forgive my bluntness, but without resolving this issue,

it's hard to achieve your stated goals.

Miss Zheng.

On average, a car has about 10,000 non-removable independent components.

For example, an F1 race car has as many as 20,000 components.

So, there are many possible reasons for an accident.

It's not necessarily directly caused by the battery.

Also, our cooperation with Hengxin has always been stable and continuous.

This indicates that the problem doesn't lie with us.

In any case,

Miss Zheng, why do you need to be aggressive?

Zhanlan has always had a good reputation

and development momentum in the industry.

Our cooperation with Financial Introduce won't be limited to this article.

In fact, I believe the readers of this magazine

don't necessarily want to know the details

of an accident investigation report.

I understand. I'll present the details

according to the accident investigation report.

Miss Zheng, this must be your first time in Ancheng.

Do you know this?

Tianshan tea from Ancheng is very famous.

From tea picking to tea processing, it has a history of over 100 years.

Later, I'll have Ding bring some for you.

I'll also see if there are any other local specialties to give you.

You can bring them back and savor them.

Thank you, Mr. Jiang.

But I don't know much about tea,

so there's no need to waste such precious tea on me.

Everyone in the industry knows that Zhanlan has been seeking financing.

So, Mr. Jiang, where do you plan to allocate this funding?

A company needs capital injection at any stage.

As for this funding, we'll certainly use it for

the company's development and technological improvements.

So, will it be used to increase production scale or to improve technology?

Let me be more direct.

Will this money be used to expand production lines

or for research and development?

Miss Zheng, you're well prepared.

Your knowledge base is also very rich.

I hope when you're writing this article, you can speak highly of Zhanlan.

After all, establishing a company is difficult,

but destroying it sometimes only requires a few words.

What makes a company survive and thrive

are excellent technology and high-quality products.

Destroying a company definitely requires more than just a few words.

If you feel that a few truthful words can ruin Zhanlan,

perhaps you should reflect on that.

I appreciate the advice.

As a company develops, it'll always encounter all kinds of challenges.

Since you and Mr. Shi are good friends,

for the sake of you, I'm willing to cooperate with Mr. Shi

to address the concerns he has and achieve a win-win situation.

What do you think?

Mr. Jiang, you overestimate me.

I'm just a journalist and I can't influence your decisions.

Thank you for your valuable time.

But it seems like Mr. Shi has deep affection for you.

Ding told me that Mr. Shi sent you here.

And he's still waiting downstairs now.

Perhaps your small effort

would be enough to reciprocate Mr. Shi's affection.

This article will be published in the in-depth analysis section

of the Financial Introduce.

I will naturally state Zhanlan's advantages,

but I also need to present the issues Zhanlan faces to the readers.

As for the content you desire,

perhaps it'd be more suitable to publish it on your company's account.

As for Mr. Shi, I can invite him to dinner as a token of appreciation.

Miss Zheng, please accept it.

Otherwise, I can't answer my boss.

Mr. Ding, there's really no need for this. I don't drink tea.

Please take it back.

Please accept it.

- No, thanks. - Miss Zheng.

I'll get going now. Goodbye.

What a coincidence. Mr. Shi, you're here for work again?

Today, I'll treat you to dinner.

Get in the car.

- Hello, Mom. - (Yi Yi, have you eaten?)

(How are you and Yu You lately?)

(Just take him out for meals when you have the chance.)

(In this day and age, girls can be more proactive.)

I know.

I'm working now. I'll hang up.

If you want, you can treat me too.

Well, thank you for your proactive gesture, Miss Zheng.

Is it still a bit unclear?

This lesson covers relatively more topics.

I hope everyone will review the material when you get back.

All right, that's it for today's class. Class dismissed.

Thank you, Professor Yu.

Professor Yu.

Can we have lunch together?

Follow me to the office.

Your office?

Okay!

Professor Yu.

Miss Qin.

Please take it back.

Did you bring me here for this?

These are too expensive.

Nowadays, it's very convenient to listen to music on phones.

You should take them back and keep them for yourself.

I saw you at Song Yue Lan's concert.

I guessed you must be her fan, so I thought of giving these to you.

These don't cost anything.

I appreciate your kindness.

Appreciating music comes from the heart, not a specific form.

If the form is greater than the music itself,

then it's not worth it, nor is it necessary.

So, if you're just trying to please me,

please take these back.

All right.

I'll take them home and keep them for you.

You'll realize in the future that these don't cost anything,

and it's not about any form.

It's just a small gesture within my means.

So, can we go for lunch now?

Miss Qin,

I understand your feelings.

You never said it out,

and I'm not very good at handling these matters.

But I think I should respond to you clearly today.

I appreciate your feelings for me.

You're still young.

I think your feelings for me might be temporary and it won't last long.

Because we're not compatible, and we don't understand each other.

Are you afraid that I might not like you in the future?

Afraid that we won't last long?

We really aren't suitable.

I'm young, not naive.

I have my own judgment and pursuit in relationships.

It's not just a whim.

You didn't say you don't have feelings for me.

What you're saying is that we don't know each other well enough.

We can take our time to get to know each other.

As for the future,

you'll have the chance to leave me if you want.

But I think

in relationships,

you can't start by thinking about the outcome first.

Right now, you just need to give me a chance to pursue and understand you.

That's all.

I have to take a call. You can leave now.

I'll start getting to know you seriously from now on.

Perhaps we shouldn't limit our focus to Zhanlan.

Have you seen him recently?

What is he busy with?

I haven't seen her in a long time.

She might be busy.

Or maybe

she just doesn't want to see me.

Sorry, I just finished my class.

What are you talking about?

Guan Ji said he hadn't seen you for a long time.

We just had dinner together last night.

He's been coming to see me almost every night this week.

Well, the days feel incredibly long without you.

This coffee is good.

So it's the same as what we expected.

After Zhanlan gets the financing, they'll use it for expanding production.

The demand for batteries in the automotive industry is constantly evolving.

Once other battery companies achieve technological breakthroughs,

even the car manufacturers who have had long-term cooperation with Zhanlan

will reconsider their collaboration.

- By that time... - We can't wait until that time.

But if we're sure about not continuing with Zhanlan's project,

we have to think about how to convince those old-fashioned folks.

They'll probably still advocate for investing

but will hope to shorten the financing years to reduce the risk.

Maybe we don't need to convince them, just find a better option for them.

Sounds more challenging than convincing them.

I'm almost done with that report.

I can give it to you in the next two days.

What report?

Come on, let's go for lunch.

No.

- Give it to me early. - What report?

Yu You, tell me about it.

(New discovery, new challenge.)

Why did I unlike it?

Zheng Shu Yi, what were you thinking?

(The flower path has never been visited by anyone.)

"The flower path has never been visited by anyone.

Now, the gates are open for you."

This article is well-written.

The editor-in-chief even called me and talked for half an hour just now.

Once this article is published,

do you know what kind of impact it will have?

I know.

But it still needs to be published.

When I started in this field, you told me

to be truthful in interviews,

provide valuable insights,

and be responsible to readers, the industry, and society.

I believe this article fulfills those criteria.

Are you using my words against me?

If you've decided, go ahead and do it.

Ms. Yi, aren't you angry with me?

What?

Only you have professional aspirations? I don't have one, is it?

Don't forget who told you those things.

Then I'll send it to them for formatting.

Hello, Guan.

(Have you departed? Do you want me to pick you up?)

No need, I drove today.

Next time, then.

- It's done. - Thanks.

Hello, how can I help you?

Hello, I'm Zheng Shu Yi, a journalist from Financial Introduce.

- I'm here to see Mr. Qiu from Finance Department. - One moment. please.

(Le Le. Financial Introduce's journalist has an appointment with Mr. Qiu.)

(She's already here.)

- What's her name? - (Her name is Zheng Shu Yi.)

Okay, got it.

Mr. Qiu is in a meeting now.

Arrange for her to wait at the reception area.

(Okay, Le Le.)

Miss Zheng, please wait here for a moment.

Mr. Qiu is in a meeting.

- Someone will take you to meet him shortly. - Thanks.

Hello, is Mr. Qiu done with the meeting?

- Let me check for you. - Thank you.

Miss Zheng?

It's really you. What brought you here?

I'm here to see Mr. Qiu. He's in a meeting.

I see, I'll go get busy now.

How long has she been waiting?

I noticed she's had several cups of coffee already.

Then when I came up, I asked about it.

Mr. Qiu doesn't have any meetings in the afternoon.

- Okay. - Mr. Shi.

Go out first.

Okay.

May I know if you're Miss Zheng?

Hello, Mr. Qiu, I'm Zheng Shu Yi, a journalist from Financial Introduce.

Hello, I'm really sorry.

It was my secretary's oversight that made you wait for so long.

- It's okay. - Please come to my office.

Okay.

(Yunchuang employees, especially senior executives, should be punctual.)

I understand.

(The interview with Financial Introduce)

is to help the public understand Yunchuang better.

Don't let the media know that

I have to remind you to handle such a trivial matter properly.

The relevant materials that you requested have been prepared

according to Mr. Shi...

Have been prepared according to your requests.

- Thank you, sorry for the trouble. - Don't mention it.

(Qin Le Zhi?)

(So Shi Yan arranged for her to work in the finance department.)

This way.

Here.

Why would Qiu Fu pick her up personally?

Here.

Thank you, Mr. Qiu. Sorry to trouble you.

Next time you come, just contact me directly.

I'll arrange everything personally and wait for you here.

That's very kind of you.

- I'll get going now. - Sure, goodbye.

Goodbye.

Mr. Shi, Miss Zheng has left.

Come to my office.

Mr. Qiu, you want to see me?

I had an appointment with the journalist from Financial Introduce at 3 pm.

Why did you reschedule my meeting with the bank earlier?

She came and waited for so long, and you didn't inform me.

Qin.

You've been working for me for quite some time.

You usually pay great attention to details.

How could you make such a mistake?

I thought the bank meeting was more important.

I figured the interview with Financial Introduce wasn't urgent.

That's why I adjusted the timing for you.

You thought?

You figured?

Can you understand your position?

You don't even know who is important or not,

yet you simply changed my schedule!

I remember you said the bank is an important client.

She's just a journalist. She should wait for you.

If she was in a hurry, our PR department could prepare materials, so...

- So... - So, how about you take my job as the director instead?

Is Zheng Shu Yi an ordinary journalist?

Do you know who she is?

Is this as simple as you thought?

Sorry, Mr. Qiu.

This time, it's my fault. It won't happen again next time.

Next time? Next time you don't need to see me either.

Get out.

Zheng Shu Yi.

It's you again.

Qiu Fu said she's not an ordinary journalist.

Not an ordinary journalist?

Who is she then?

Miss Zheng, are you waiting for the next elevator?

(What is he doing here?)

(I forgot to press the button.)

Hello, Mr. Shi.

Hello, Mr. Shi.

What's going on? Who is this?

(He pulled me over but he didn't say anything.)

(What a good way to maintain a certain level of ambiguity.)

(Shi Yan, you're really good at this.)

Thank you. You're so considerate.

You're welcome.

(Look how considerate she is.)

(Unlike some people who don't know anything about hospitality.)

Mr. Chen.

Miss Zheng.

Is there anything you need?

I want to prepare warm lemon water with a bit of honey for Mr. Shi.

Mr. Shi doesn't drink honey.

And we didn't prepare that in the company either.

How come?

That drink was specially prepared for you

because Mr. Shi knew you had been drinking a lot of coffee downstairs.

He knew I was downstairs all along?

He knew you had been waiting for a long time and even called Mr. Qiu.

Thank you.

You're welcome. I just casually mentioned it to him.

Please help me prepare a cup of warm lemon water.

Okay, please wait a moment.

I splashed the drink on you. I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Is your work done?

No.

What were you going to do just now?

I suddenly felt like having coffee.

Don't drink coffee. Have a cup of warm water instead.

Okay.

You have to wait for me a little longer.

Okay.
