(Episode 10)

(Who is this person?)

(He is my neighbor from my childhood)

(who is close to my family.)

(We did play with each other when we were young.)

(We still keep in touch after we grew up.)

(A childhood friend?)

(Does he usually reach out to you first?)

(I just checked.)

(Most of the time, he's the one texting me first.)

He likes you.

(No way. What should I do then?)

If he asks you out again,

just tell him you have a boyfriend.

(Where am I going to find a boyfriend to show it to him?)

You can be in a long-distance relationship, right?

Just tell him you play games with your boyfriend online.

(What if he doesn't believe me?)

(Then, I'll just pretend to be your boyfriend, reluctantly.)

And give you a call.

(That sounds like a good idea.)

Qian Ling, do you have a boyfriend?

I have a boyfriend.

With your looks, I'm sure you do.

Actually, I wanted to ask,

how did your boyfriend win you over?

I've been courting a girl for a long time now,

but still haven't succeeded.

Oh, I see.

So, what does your boyfriend do for a living?

Don't tell me you've just started dating

and you don't even know what he does?

No, we've been together for a while.

He just started working, so he's busy.

That means he doesn't have time for you.

No, he often plays games with me.

He's the best gamer I've ever seen.

He's also the campus heartthrob, very handsome.

Many girls have confessed to him,

but he turned them all down.

Sometimes he can be a bit sarcastic,

but he's very supportive when it matters,

especially when we're gaming.

If anyone dares to bully me,

he'll make sure they regret it.

Is he good to you in real life?

Pretty...

Pretty good.

(Did you tell him?)

(Don't even get me started.)

He didn't believe you?

We misunderstood him.

(He actually has a girl he likes and is courting her. So awkward.)

How do you know that girl isn't you?

Qian Ling, we're almost there.

Okay.

(That's impossible. I have to go now.)

(We're almost home.)

What? He's even going home with you?

Neighbor, childhood friend, and even going home with her.

Where...

Where does she live?

- I can carry it. - I can help you.

Mom!

Mom!

- You're home! - Hi, Mrs. Yue.

Tang Xin, we've troubled you again.

It's my pleasure to help.

We're all family, right?

- Come, come, have a seat. - It's fine, Mrs. Yue.

- Stay for tea. - I have something to do.

So, Qian Ling,

Jin and the gang are back too.

We're having a meal together, why don't you join us?

Okay!

Here's the thing. Her dad and I will be out this afternoon.

So, I can't make her dinner.

Okay then. Get some rest first.

I'll come pick you up in the afternoon.

That's great.

I'll get going then.

- Okay. - I'm off.

- Bye. - I'll come pick you up later.

- Come early. - Okay, Mrs. Yue. Bye.

- What a young man. - Mom.

- Tang Xin is getting more handsome these days. - Mom.

Where are you and Dad going later?

A little private time.

But I...

No more buts. Hurry up and freshen up,

make yourself look nice. Don't always wear this.

Change into something nice. Hurry up.

My luggage.

Chop chop.

I got it.

Wear a dress.

All right.

Will you focus?

You invited me to play games, but you're not into it.

Are you intentionally going easy on me to insult me?

Is it just because someone has some interest in Yue Qian Ling?

She's beautiful and kind.

Aren't you overreacting now?

He clearly isn't a decent guy.

How can she lack such judgment?

Whether he's decent or not, what does it have to do with you?

Seriously.

(I'm playing tonight. Want to join me?)

You have no idea.

My boss is unbelievable.

He actually asked me to work on Lunar New Year's Eve.

- I resigned already. - I know, right?

I'm no longer with them.

- You quit your job? - Yes.

I'm telling you, my current boss is so nice.

(Can't make it. I'm having dinner outside.)

(You have a dinner appointment as soon as you get home.)

(Who's being so nice to you?)

The classic meeting call when you're about to go home.

So typical.

(It's that neighbor I told you about.)

(I told you he likes you.)

Our HR is also insane.

The way they treat the newbies.

(Why would he invite you instead of the girl he likes?)

(What a player.)

(You're insane.)

Still not admitting you like Yue Qian Ling?

You're putting aside the game to chat with her.

Want me to give you more work to do?

You talk too much.

What are you talking about?

As your buddy, I'll give you a tip.

I'll send you something.

"How To Tell If Someone Has A Secret Crush On You."

Dare to take the test?

(How To Tell If Someone Has A Secret Crush On You)

This is lame.

You know nothing. I'm going to the restroom.

I'm having so much fun. It's been so long.

(How To Tell If Someone Has A Secret Crush On You)

(Dare to test it?)

Let's eat.

Eat up.

Right?

(Why wouldn't I dare? Let's do it.)

(Sign one.)

(He will keep glancing at you in secret, )

(but when you meet his gaze, )

(his eyes will dodge.)

- Isn't it beautiful? - What is this place?

It's the Classical Gardens of Suzhou.

- It's beautiful. - It is, isn't it?

So beautiful.

We should go there together, Jin.

- Let's go there together. - Yes, together.

Yes, you will do the research.

Let's go together.

(Sign two.)

(When he has a crush on someone, )

(all posts in his Moments become visible)

(because he wants you to get to know him better.)

I have to do research? Why me?

Now you guys are letting me do all the jobs.

You should do it.

No, you should do it.

- Who? - You.

So, Jin,

has Tang Xin always made all his Moments posts visible?

- I think it's visible for the last three days. - Just last three days?

Let me check.

This is odd.

All of his posts are visible now.

That's good.

(Sign three.)

(When there's accidental physical contact with you, )

(he'll get shy.)

- Let me help you. - Jin.

- I can manage. - I can help you.

Thank you.

Careful!

Is this milk tea very good?

Fine, you can carry it.

This one's pretty tasty.

It's quite spicy.

Are you okay?

- I just... - Are you okay?

- I need to use the restroom. - Okay.

(Oh my. He has got all the signs.)

(What should I do? Is this test really accurate?)

(Give me your number.)

(If he tries anything inappropriate with you, text me immediately.)

(I can help you.)

Okay, I got it.

I'll be there later.

I'm going out for a while.

About that test video you just sent me,

- is it accurate? - Yes.

I got all the signs when I was having a secret crush on my ex.

Did you take a test?

Someone is not being honest.

(When he has a crush on someone, )

(all posts in his Moments become visible)

(because he wants you to get to know him better.)

(Set All Visible to Friends)

Hello.

Are you with a guy?

He's next to me. I'm safe.

Are you sitting close to him?

Pretty close.

What do you want?

Is it a guy or a girl?

(When are you going home?)

(You're still outside at this hour. Do you even care about me?)

Do you...

Do you still

love me when you go home?

I do.

I love you.

Okay, good.

Well, go home soon.

I'll be waiting for you at home.

Love you.

He can be pretty strict with me.

Your boyfriend is interesting.

I know, right?

Actually, that makes sense.

When his girlfriend is out with someone else so late,

it's normal to give a call to check on her.

Since we've arrived,

you should call him to put his mind at ease.

Come on.

(It's video call.)

He's probably busy.

What could be so important that he doesn't even answer your call?

Maybe he's playing games.

Playing games?

Qian Ling, does you boyfriend always do this?

It's late, and he doesn't even check in with you.

Is gaming more important than you?

You're right. I'll break up with him when I get back.

I should go now. Thanks for today.

- Bye. - Bye.

- I'm going home. Bye. - Bye.

Honey, you're home. Come here.

I need to ask you something.

I heard you're with a guy who's not very capable,

just plays games all day.

I heard he's poor and not good to you.

And he's ugly too.

Your information has been heavily exaggerated. Not accurate.

So, what's going on between you and Tang Xin now?

I think Tang Xin is a good kid.

We are just friends.

It will never happen. I'm going to bed.

Why is it not possible?

Hello.

Girlfriend, are you asleep?

My parents disapprove of our relationship.

Let's break up.

Break up?

Are you going to be with your childhood friend now?

Why didn't you answer my video call?

I was worried that if I answered your video call,

your neighbor would feel inferior.

True. If you had seen me, you might feel inferior too.

Qian Ling, come and have some watermelon.

Coming!

Don't forget to love me.

(I booked the tennis court.)

(It'll be canceled after ten minutes. Get here now.)

I got it.

Hang on.

I'm not going. Play by yourself.

(Are you serious? You invited me to play...)

You're back.

Why didn't you stay longer in your hometown?

I can handle it myself.

- Let me help. - Give it to me.

I can carry them myself.

- I can help. - It's fine.

Come on.

I'm a good neighbor.

Hang on.

How did you know I came back from my hometown?

You brought back so many specialty products,

of course you came back from your hometown.

Give them to me.

Careful!

Let me help you.

It's fine. I can manage.

It's heavy.

Why are you being weird today?

Am I?

(Sign two.)

(When he has a crush on someone, )

(all posts in his Moments become visible)

(because he wants you to get to know him better.)

It's none of my business if he likes someone or not.

(After auditing by the Finance Department, )

(the budget for the S-level projects submitted)

(by Project Team 1 and the Ninth Business Unit)

(has exceeded the total budget)

(set by the group at the beginning of the year.)

(The budget for one of these projects will be reduced to control costs.)

(After discussions within the group, )

(an evaluation meeting will be conducted, )

(where each department will score the projects, )

(and the budget will be allocated according to the evaluation results.)

(The evaluation meeting is scheduled for next Friday.)

(Please submit the evaluation materials promptly.)

(Failure to do so will be considered as giving up.)

(The budget for that department will be reduced directly.)

Don't worry.

Before Mr. Gu came,

the group always allocated more budget to us.

Mr. Jiang will definitely fight for it this time.

As long as I don't have to work overtime, everything is none of my concern.

So what?

You act like you're at home. Get off my desk.

- It's time for the meeting. Let's go, working folks. - Come on.

- Morning. - Morning.

Last month, the user acquisition for characters decreased by 5.5%.

Let's make up for it this month.

Get it together, guys.

Are you awake now?

Email me your drafts after the meeting.

I want to spot-check them.

Got it.

I'm going to lay out some important tasks.

I need all teams to understand

how we can integrate dating games and romance pet games,

and submit detailed reports to my email.

Any thoughts?

Su Zheng?

Nothing for now.

I'll think about it when I get back.

I don't want the T-pose incident to happen again.

(Hi, I'm Chen Xin Yi from the Ninth Business Unit.)

(Today's meeting is at 10 am.)

(Okay, I'll be there on time.)

First of all, it is not our problem.

It has nothing to do with us, it's the programming team.

Watch out for Jiang.

Something's off with him today.

As far as I know, this is where the problem lies.

And the schedule in the programming team...

If the meeting drags on,

pretend to have low blood sugar and sneak out.

Hasn't been following the proper order,

leading to the mishap.

I've already reminded them.

How should we handle it then?

I'll communicate with the programming team next.

- It won't happen again. - Good.

The planning team will also coordinate with the programming team

to quickly adjust the characters and levels.

Okay, let's end the meeting here. Adjourned.

Yue Qian Ling.

You're usually quite vocal in meetings.

Why were you so quiet just now?

I...

I stayed up all night working on the draft last night,

so I might be a little low on blood sugar.

Can you still go to the Ninth Business Unit today?

If you're not feeling well, it's okay not to go.

I...

I can manage.

I thought we had more people?

Why isn't she here yet?

That's right.

I don't know.

Qian Ling, come here.

Sit here.

Isn't that Yue Qian Ling from Project Team 1?

Why is she so late?

I know.

Let's get started.

Due to Wang Hai's resignation,

I'll take his role as the lead planner for now.

We've conducted character analysis and breakdowns

for all the games released this year.

"Lost Planet 2" and "Torrent"

have been successful in creating a comprehensive

player experience and memory sensation.

Here's a comparative analysis chart

of the emotional rhythm and perceptual ability

of our players.

This can provide us with a lot of inspiration.

Any new ideas regarding the player experience and memory sensation?

Mr. Gu, our copywriting team has updated

some of the worldview descriptions,

paying special attention to player experience and memory.

- Taking R Planet as an example... - R Planet.

While they're refining the worldview structure,

they not only emphasize player interaction

but also consider interactions between the NPCs.

- Anything else? - Our arts department

has completed the three-view illustrations for the male lead Ming Chen,

while progress on Lin Zhi depends on our new artist's schedule.

Qian Ling.

Allow me to introduce.

This is our new teammate, Yue Qian Ling.

She is the artist from Project Team 1.

Hi, I'm Yue Qian Ling.

Let's welcome her.

Yue Qian Ling,

you'll be working with Fan Xing.

She is the team leader

and was the artist for the previous version of Lin Zhi.

Okay.

Let's hear your thoughts on the follow-up creation of Lin Zhi.

The previous version of Lin Zhi

was overall

quite good,

with a strong style.

Um, I'd like to emphasize Lin Zhi's personality traits more.

As she's a heroine who robs the rich to help the poor,

I want to highlight her heroic spirit more.

I might make some adjustments to her costume.

We've mentioned before

that Lin Zhi

has an excess of strength but lacks a sense of liveliness.

I think she needs more grassroots spirit

to truly embody the idea of a hero.

We can develop this idea.

That way, her oriental beauty

will be stronger.

Is this draft suitable?

- She's just doing part-time here. - Let's scrap it and start over.

Exactly, she's wasting our time.

I think Yue Qian Ling makes a valid point.

Character designs should closely align with the game's worldview.

We've mentioned before

that Lin Zhi has excessive strength but lacks softness.

So, I think this approach is feasible.

I also think it's worth a try.

Mobile games require designs that are more nimble.

This is something we lack.

More collisions might lead to something new.

Yes.

Yue Qian Ling,

produce a draft based on your thoughts

and let's see how it looks.

Got it.

All the tables are taken.

You can sit next to me.

Just ask me if you have any questions.

- Well... - I should get back to work.

I think she was the subordinate of our lead artist.

When the art team was hiring,

she also participated in the competition

but was defeated by Fan Xing.

They are entrusting such an important task

to someone working part-time.

I just don't get them.

Yue Qian Ling.

Come with me for a minute.

Maybe Fan Xing will have to help her

if she can't produce the draft in the end.

- How to change this? - I want to try this.

Yue Qian Ling, I don't care about your achievements in Project Team 1

or how much Mr. Wei values you.

But here, capability is the only standard of measurement.

- I understand. - As your team leader, let me remind you.

In AAA games, you can't just draw alone.

Before starting the artwork, you need to communicate with the planning team

and the 3D department.

Got it. Thanks, Fan Xing.

- If your work isn't up to standard... - Don't worry.

If I need my team leader to save the day,

I'll leave this department my own,

but that won't happen.

Good that you know.

Why is she so harsh?

But she's right.

I started drawing without communicating with

the planning team and the 3D department.

Why am I so foolish?

You're feeling bad for her?

Well, she's learning.

Don't worry. I got her back.

No, you got her back, Mr. Gu.

By the way, the email from the group today

seems like our department is in an advantageous position.

They also sent some good candidates for the lead planner role.

Do you want to meet them?

No need.

No need?

Have you already found someone?

You have a broad range of interests.

Mr. Gu.

I've always loved reading all kinds of books since I was little.

My dad was a librarian in my hometown.

I used to spend a lot of time there.

So, did your attention to detail also develop from a young age?

Yes.

What is this?

This is a detailed plan for ancient architecture in "Xialu."

Isn't this a trade secret?

If you're willing to join the Ninth Business Unit,

then it's no longer a secret.

Give it some serious thought.

I'll leave this plan for you.

How many of the things you just mentioned

are things our players will pay attention to?

But isn't the character design for the male lead supposed to...

I know.

We need to pinpoint the users' demands precisely

to bring in more revenue.

- Master, I was just thinking that... - Stop thinking.

Just change it.

I don't want to remind you again.

But your design seems to be more than

just a tribute to the Epang Palace, right?

I enjoy studying various styles of ancient architecture,

so I thought, why not mix them all together

and see if we can spark something new.

But I'm afraid the core requirements

of Project Team 1 aren't these, right?

In this version of Lin Zhi, I used relatively simple color blocks.

Meanwhile, I added some dark elements

to increase the sense of distance.

As for her clothing,

I added some soft gauze

to blend away some of her strength,

giving her a more lively feel.

I think this draft is completely unacceptable.

Yes, you did make adjustments,

but you haven't moved beyond the previous draft.

It looks like the character from the previous version just changed clothes.

But in terms of the art style, I've made a breakthrough.

If you look here, I've changed...

Okay,

you mentioned the art style.

The color contrast is not bold enough,

and the overall image lacks tension.

Regarding color blocks,

I believe not all characters need to use contrasting colors...

Colors are used to reflect the personality

and even the temperament of the characters.

In your current draft,

I can't see the martial arts spirit you want to convey.

The color temperature lacks contrast.

The overall saturation is too flat,

and there's no focal point.

The expressions and actions of the characters

lack tension and details.

The skeletal structure is also not visible.

So, as it stands,

this Lin Zhi only has skin.

There's no framework or the spirit she should be showing.

I'm sorry, I tend to be direct.

This isn't personal, this is work.

But we really can't afford any delays for this character.

Here's a suggestion.

Perhaps we should hand over the drawing of Lin Zhi

to a more capable artist.

We can't use this.

The style of painting is different from our game.

We should entrust it to someone more capable,

so that it won't delay our progress.

That's right.

This initial draft

only deserves a score of 40.

Fan Xing's comments are very informative.

Digest them, and come up with a new draft.

Got it.

That's all for today.

Let's adjourn.

(Qian Ling, can I ask you something in private?)

(How is it over at the Ninth Business Unit?)

(Is it worth joining?)

(It's pretty good.)

(If you don't mind being stabbed in the heart.)

Come in.

Take a seat.

Good job.

Your worldview in this version is exceptionally well done,

perfectly fitting the style of our game.

I promise you,

once this version is complete,

I'll promote you to lead planner.

Thank you, Mr. Jiang.

- Master... - Easy there.

Nothing good ever follows when you call me "master."

I want to transfer to the Ninth Business Unit.

Are you joking?

Are you sure about this?

What did Gu Xun offer you?

Whatever he promised to offer, I'll double it.

He didn't offer me anything.

It's just that I can make AAA games if I join his department.

Wanting to do AAA games doesn't mean you can do them.

Master,

I've been working for you for five years now, right?

But I always feel like I'm drifting

further away from what I want to do.

Su Zheng,

every time I see your initial drafts,

I can see traces of AAA quality in them.

I'm not blind.

I don't want you to waste your time

on something that's unachievable, you understand?

Then why not give me a chance to try?

If I don't, I'll really regret it.

Did Gu Xun brainwash you?

No.

But I do see some possibilities in him.

Until today, I haven't seen any possibilities.

Master, just give me a chance.

Let me try it.

How long do you want to try?

How much time can you waste?

A year.

Give me one year.

If I fail,

I'll come back and be your slave.

I'll even be your assistant for free, Master.

Okay?

Forget it.

Go out.

Thank you, Master.

Map, get all the planners in here.

Now!

Got it.

Here's my portfolio.

Also, I made many revisions

to the architectural design proposal you gave me last time,

incorporating it into practical scenarios.

Well done. It shows depth and innovation.

I hope you can join us as soon as you can.

But I have a condition.

- Go on. - I want to be the lead planner.

Lead planner?

You weren't the lead planner in Project Team 1, right?

But I think there's no one

better suited than me to be the lead planner in the Ninth Business Unit,

don't you think?

Okay, deal.

Thank you for your trust, Mr. Gu.

You've snatched another one of Jiang Yi Shi's subordinates.

He must be furious right now.

It's going to be a tough battle to fight for the budget allocation.

Hang on, you're being so nice to Su Zheng.

Why are you so strict with Yue Qian Ling?

Fan Xing was too blunt. The initial draft is meant to be revised.

Besides, she just came from Project Team 1.

You should have at least given her a few encouraging words in the meeting.

It's to prevent everyone from saying she got in due to connections.

If her draft isn't good enough,

it's normal for others to criticize.

Only when the content is recognized will everyone naturally stop talking.

And...

And was I really that harsh just now?

I think I was quite tactful.

There were so many people at the meeting, and as their...

I can't be...

I can't really... You know?

I'll go talk to the lead planner.

Go on.

Its mouth is leaking.

It's okay. I'll just use a stapler to fix it up later.

Let me sew it up for you.

Thanks.

You're so talented.

Now it looks exactly like when I first bought it.

I didn't know you were so good at handicrafts.

I enjoy making cosplay costumes in my free time.

I bought this when I joined the company.

At that time, I thought I had extraordinary talent.

Now I realized

I'm nothing.

Don't give up!

Thank you, Xin Yi.

Xin Yi.

How are the cosplay costumes for Si Qing coming along?

They've been mostly sent out.

You're quite competent.

While others struggle,

we seem to have it all together.

You've done a lot of cosplay in your spare time, huh?

There's a payment contract we need Stella to look over.

The client has been pushing for it.

Have Stella to sign it and get it approved as soon as possible.

She is going out soon. Go now.

What are you waiting for?

Stella won't bite.

It'll also increase your visibility.

Xin Yi, are you and Jiang Jun Nan...

No.

No?

You have a crush on him?

Nonsense.

(You come close to me)

(Scattering sparks, countless yearnings bloom)

(The moment we meet, it's a familiar feeling)

(Do you remember me? On a certain day)

(We brushed past each other, then I started missing you)

(Thinking of you all day, I'm surprised by my change)

(Such complicated trials)

(Just a little chat with you, on your left side)

(My heart warms up a little)

(You come close to me)

(Scattering sparks, countless yearnings bloom)

(My heart starts beating fervently)

(Thinking of everything about you uncontrollably)

(You're already by my side)

(The starting point of my dream, you've long appeared)

(Every day my dreams come true for you)

(Jealousy and insomnia, I decide to forget you a bit)

(But the longing doubles)

(I want you to understand my adventurous spirit)

(Embracing in the crowd, our hearts are pounding)

(We are falling for each other)

(With my intuition)

(No matter how distant)

(You are my world)

(You come close to me)

(Scattering sparks, countless yearnings bloom)

(My heart starts beating fervently)

(Thinking of everything about you uncontrollably)

(You're already by my side)

(The starting point of my dream, you've long appeared)

(Every day my dreams come true for you)

(Every day)

(My dreams)

(Come true for you)
