(Episode 21)

Come, everyone has been working hard lately.

Today's on me, let's kick back and relax.

Thank you, Mr. Jiang.

Hey, can I get some water over here? - Okay.

Xin Yi.

Why didn't Yue Qian Ling come to dinner today?

It's the birthday of Huang Jie from Project Team 1 today.

They made plans long ago.

Huang Jie's birthday?

Do you want anything else?

No, you guys go ahead and order.

Thank you, please come this way.

Your reserved seats are over here.

Okay.

Qian Ling.

You guys are here too.

So you guys also chose here.

Today is Huang Jie's birthday.

Let's celebrate together then.

Yes, let's eat together.

- Come, let's eat together. - Okay.

Waiter, please help me keep this. Thanks.

Let's make some room here.

I heard the company is organizing a mixer soon.

- Who's going? - Let's all go.

All single people have to go.

We have to break the stigma in the IT circle.

What stigma?

In the IT world, there's this unspoken hierarchy among men.

They say men at the top aren't those with the strongest ability,

but those programmers who have the ability and also a wife.

Then, it's the programmers with girlfriends.

And at the bottom, the single programmer guys.

What? I have a girlfriend.

Mr. Wei has a wife and Shu has children.

You guys are good at hiding it.

So it's just us left.

Are you coming?

I'll pass.

My girlfriend is very strict.

Girlfriend?

- Since when? - You're quite the enigma, Mr. Gu.

You're good at hiding things, Mr. Gu.

Mr. Gu, we didn't expect that.

- Yes. Share it with us. - Tell us about her, Mr. Gu.

- You're good at hiding things, Mr. Gu. - Qian Ling!

- Qian Ling, I'm here. - Huang Jie, here.

Everyone is here. Why don't we eat together?

Yes, let's eat together.

What a coincidence! Hello, everyone.

My budget is only 300 yuan today.

I can't cover so many people.

Don't worry. Today is Mr. Jiang's treat.

Eat whatever you want.

Okay then.

Come on, sit here.

Then...

Well, it's my treat today.

Consider it a birthday gift from the Ninth Business Unit.

Then I'll order whatever I want.

Just order it. Have a seat.

Thank you.

What are you all chatting about? It's so lively.

Mr. Gu said he has a girlfriend.

Yes.

How come I didn't know that Mr. Gu has a girlfriend?

- Confidential. - Why keep it confidential with us?

We'll know about her sooner or later.

- Why bother keeping it a secret? - Tell everyone about her.

Mr. Gu, we didn't even know you had a girlfriend.

Can we see a photo?

- Everyone wants to see, right? - Yes.

Photo.

Mr. Gu.

There are really photos.

She must be pretty.

Forget it, my girlfriend is shy.

- Boring. - No wonder. No fun at all.

I was kind enough to set Mr. Gu up with someone before.

He didn't even look at the photo and told me she wasn't her type.

Turns out you found your ideal type.

You've had an ideal type for a while, right?

I can't say she's my ideal type.

It's just that

my girlfriend is exactly my type.

- Sour. - Come on, let's drink up.

My teeth are going to fall out.

So sour.

It's so sour that my teeth are going to fall out.

Drink up.

Well, today is Huang Jie's birthday.

I got you a cake.

- Thank you. - Waitress.

My cake, thank you.

- Happy birthday! - Thank you.

- Come on. - There are a lot of strawberries.

Let's light the candles and sing the happy birthday song for Huang Jie.

Thank you, everyone.

(Happy birthday to you.)

(Happy birthday to you.)

(Happy birthday to you.)

(Happy birthday to you.)

Come on, bottom's up.

All right, that's enough. Let's head home.

Waiter, the check, please.

It's already paid.

On behalf of my girlfriend, I treat everyone to this dinner.

Thank you, Mr. Gu.

Thank you, Mr. Gu.

- Let's go. I'm heading that way too. - Okay.

How come I didn't know you have photos of your girlfriend?

Want to see it?

I've read "Deep into Blue" before.

I think the works in it are really well chosen.

It captures the oppressive and mysterious feeling of the deep sea, right?

I agree. You see, take this octopus for example.

If it had a different form and some scales added,

wouldn't it look like a sea monster?

Yes, it would.

To be honest, I've been wanting to add a marine map in Xialu.

Those lightning patterns on the sea creatures

could add something completely different...

Su Zheng, the combat system you handed in yesterday needs to be upgraded.

- Revise it again. - Okay.

We'll talk about it later.

Qian Ling.

Here are the character armor reference diagrams I mentioned.

Take a look at them.

(What?)

(He never mentioned anything about armor.)

(Drinking coffee on an empty stomach in the morning can cause stomachache.)

(There are some snacks in the first drawer.)

(Don't drink too much milk tea.)

(There are other options in the second drawer.)

(I bought a new cup for you in the pantry.)

Mr. Gu, your taste

is cute.

I want to drink coffee made by my girlfriend.

Sure.

You guys are here.

Here for coffee?

I asked her to make coffee for me.

Her coffee

is very good.

Do you want it?

No, I'm good. I'm going to the bathroom.

Careful, it's hot.

If this section needs to be modified, can we have more time?

I can coordinate.

Do you think three days is enough?

- Hello? - Jiang Jun Nan, we already broke up.

Please don't bother me anymore, and don't send me flowers.

Flowers?

When did I...

The flowers you asked me to buy last time.

Although we broke up, we're still friends.

Today's your birthday. As a friend, I should give you flowers.

Okay, I'll accept this bouquet of flowers.

- But no more after this... - (Don't worry.)

There won't be a next time.

As you said, we should end things nicely.

Sorry, Mr. Jiang, I forgot.

Think about it carefully. What else needs to be canceled?

The restaurant you asked me to book last time.

You said you'd take her there for her birthday today.

I forgot about it too.

Being my assistant must be tough for you.

Since we can't cancel it anymore,

let's go together.

My treat.

- Is that all? - That's all. All the dishes are here.

Did I order too much?

No.

Since we're here, let's eat and drink to our heart's content.

Come, cheers.

Let me try this.

You're good at picking restaurants.

This is so delicious.

These are all my favorite foods.

That's good.

Look at this pork chop. It looks so good.

Let's each have one later.

Finish them up.

Here.

Our goal for today

is to finish all these dishes and this bottle of wine.

We can't leave until we do. Cheers.

Drink up.

Are you raising fish here?

Look, they're even blowing bubbles.

You see.

The little fish almost jumped out.

That's more like it.

Drink up.

Let me pour some more for you.

I'll pour. Stop me when you think it's enough.

Stop.

This...

I'll pour a little more.

That's enough, Mr. Jiang.

Finish them all.

Dig in.

Nice choice.

Mr. Jiang.

Isn't it one piece per person?

Sorry, I forgot.

Hello, Ms. Chen, this is the cake you ordered before.

- Leave it here. - Okay.

Thanks.

Very good. The details are spot-on.

I've been working for you for very long.

- I understand you well. - Understand me?

How much do you understand me? Let me hear about it.

Let me explain.

You're

very persistent when it comes to food.

- Pork cutlets, right? - Yes.

You always order pork cutlets, and it's always the sweet and spicy ones.

Thanks.

You seem laid-back on the surface,

but you're actually the softest-hearted person.

You always put others first.

Your own needs always come last.

When you fought with Mr. Gu, you weren't really angry with him.

You were just looking for a way out.

Deep down, you care about him.

That's why you put on a little show with Mr. Gu.

Director Chen.

You know me so well. You couldn't possibly like me, could you?

You're not actually

into me, are you?

(Gu Xun)

Hey, Mom, I'm outside. I'll be right back.

(What's wrong with you?)

- My mom... - I can go back by myself.

You go ahead and do your thing.

Chen Xin Yi, are you a fool?

Why did you...

It's going to be so awkward when we see each other again.

I've said it anyway.

I can't take it back either.

I'll just meet him and work as usual.

As long as I'm not awkward, he's the one who will be awkward.

Miss, why are you alone today?

Where is your boyfriend?

- He... - It's okay.

This is for you.

Remember to keep smiling.

Take it.

- Thank you, sir. - No problem.

- You go ahead. - Thanks.

Su Zheng and I have been influenced by a magazine called Ocean Photography.

We want to make a marine map.

In this way, we can add more variety to Xialu.

What do you think?

No wonder you're always hanging out with Su Zheng.

What did you say?

Nothing.

I said you're already doing concept art.

Actually, when we were making weapons last time,

I found it quite interesting.

Do you want to give it a shot?

Me? Can I?

Are you willing to take on the role of concept artist for Xialu?

I am.

It's burnt.

What are you doing here?

I'm coming to stay at my brother's house.

It's not a good time.

How so?

Your girlfriend isn't at home?

Yue Qian Ling, why are you here?

Hi.

Gu Xun has a girlfriend, didn't you know?

It's not appropriate for you to be here so late at night.

I'm not saying you're not good, but it makes him look bad.

Then I'll go back first.

Bye.

We're in a relationship.

Exactly, you should've said it earlier.

Others may not know about this, but I do.

Leave then.

Don't kick me out. I've got a problem.

Come here, I'll tell you.

Let me tell you,

I have a friend

whose subordinate confessed to him recently.

Then you...

What did

your friend say?

He said he didn't know if he liked her or not,

so

He ran away.

Ran away?

What's that supposed to mean?

No, he doesn't know if he likes her or not.

So, he just...

What kind of friend is that?

He made the girl confess instead of having the courage to face it himself.

What kind of man is that?

So, you...

Your friend wants to know

how to figure out if he likes her or not?

Tell him

it's okay not to figure it out right away,

he can take his time.

But

don't hurt that girl!

Got it?

Do you understand?

Yes, I do.

Can I have a bite of your noodles?

Go!

Don't be mad, it's not that serious.

Let's go.

What are you doing? Aren't you afraid of being caught?

How could it be such a coincidence?

Huang Jie.

- Qian Ling. - Huang Jie.

Here for work?

Mr. Gu, did you not send your girlfriend to work?

- I just sent her to work. - You just dropped off your girlfriend

and came to drop off a female colleague.

Mr. Gu, you're a master at time management, huh?

- Actually, we already... - Mr. Gu.

Don't think you can bully Qian Ling just because she's pretty and naive.

Because of you,

Qian Ling has had to endure a lot of gossip in the company.

Don't let your selfish desires affect Qian Ling, okay?

Let's go.

Qian Ling.

If you don't give me a proper title,

the whole company will know I'm a two-timing scumbag.

You two...

You and him...

Yes, we're together.

I knew you two got together. You finally admitted it.

Sorry, Mr. Gu, I was joking just now.

I knew you weren't like that.

Huang Jie, did you already know this?

You two were so obvious. How could I not see it?

I noticed something fishy between you two

when you were at the cafe earlier.

Why did you tease us earlier?

I just wanted to see how long you two could keep it up.

But you, Qian Ling, aren't we best friends?

Why didn't you tell me something so big?

You're already the second person

in the company to know, after Jiang Jun Nan.

Really?

Only the two of us know?

That's more like it.

So...

Let's go.

Let's go.

You confessed to Jiang Jun Nan?

How did you know?

That doesn't matter. You go first.

It's all my fault. I drank too much and impulsively...

I swear I'll never drink again, really.

Keep an eye on me.

But I feel relieved after saying it out.

I've passed the ball to him now.

Whatever happens, I'll carry on with my work as usual.

If he stops being clueless and decides he wants to be with you,

would you say yes?

Can't say for sure. We'll see.

Anyway, now that he knows,

I feel like

there's closure.

It's fine. Now that you've said it, you feel better,

and the decision is yours to make.

I...

It's okay.

Qian Ling.

Xin Yi, can I borrow Qian Ling for a bit?

- Come. - I'll step out for a moment.

Go ahead.

- Come. - What's with all the secrecy?

This is for you.

What is this?

I don't want it.

How can you not want it?

I got this latest model specifically for you.

It suits you perfectly.

It doesn't suit me.

Why are you so shy?

Think about it, now that you have a boyfriend...

Mr. Gu might seem tough on the outside,

but inside...

No...

Trust me.

Maybe you'll thank me tomorrow.

Qian Ling.

My laptop charger broke. I'm going out to buy a new one.

Wait for me for a while. I'm changing clothes.

Okay.

Gu...

It's pretty nice.

Do you like it?

I like it very much.

Then

you can borrow it and wear it for a couple of days.

No need. I...

I'm going to buy my stuff first.

Would this be

too sexy?

- Hello. - (Qian Ling.)

(Can you send me the compressed folder of Lin Zhi's original artwork now?)

(It's urgent, so please do it quickly.)

(All right, let me look for it.)

Compressed folder.

(Qian Ling, what's wrong?)

Fan Xing asked me to send Lin Zhi's compressed folder to her,

but I forgot to bring my laptop home.

She said it's urgent.

(You can just go to my place and use my laptop.)

Okay.

How is it? Have you received it?

It's still uploading. Wait a moment.

Fan Xing, I've sent it over. Remember to check it.

Let me know if there's anything else.

Don't mention it.

It's fine.

Done.

Gu Xun, you're back...

Madam.

May I know...

I'm Gu Xun's mother.

Hello, Aunt. I'm Gu Xun's neighbor.

My laptop broke, so I came over to borrow his laptop.

His laptop was on the bed, so I came in...

You must be Qian Ling.

Your mom and I were classmates.

Yes, my mom mentioned you before.

Hello, Aunt.

- You nightgown... - I...

I don't usually dress like this.

You don't have to be so nervous.

I'm not some old-fashioned person.

The style of your nightgown is pretty good.

It looks good on you.

Aunt, if you like it, I can buy one for you too.

Sure, I wear size L.

How much is it? I'll transfer the money to you.

- No need. - Let's add each other on WeChat.

Just give me the address.

- No need to transfer money. - You can scan mine.

Hi.

(I bought the stuff.)

(Are you waiting for me at home?)

Well...

Your mother is here.

- (Mom?) - I thought you were at home.

Where did you go?

Come back quickly.

(I'll go back right away.)

Hurry up.

Aunt, Gu Xun will be back soon.

How about I make you a pot of tea?

Sure.

Let's go outside.

Qian Ling.

You and Gu Xun...

That's very good.

You two are already

living together?

No.

Actually, I live right across from him.

I understand.

Qian Ling.

Do you mind settling down with Gu Xun earlier?

Mom.

You're home.

What brought you here?

I'm here to visit you.

Do you not welcome me?

Maybe I should go back first

so you and Gu Xun can have a good chat.

Qian Ling, don't leave.

Stay and have dinner with me.

I brought some delicious food.

Sure, I'll go back and change clothes first.

- Sure. - Okay.

You're good.

You brat.

You're finally coming around.

Your girlfriend is so pretty.

What does Qian Ling like to eat?

Qian Ling? She, uh, anything.

- She loves everything. - What?

Let me tell you, I really like Qian Ling.

Plus, she's my classmate's daughter.

You better treat her well.

I'm telling you, if you dare to bully her,

you'll see how I deal with you.

Don't worry, Mom.

Well, I'm going to check on Qian Ling.

Go ahead.

Qian Ling?

I'm not wearing clothes!

What did my mom say to you just now?

She asked me if we were living together

and when we were going to settle down.

It was quite sudden, and my mind went blank.

I didn't know how to respond.

Did she ask where you work?

No.

When my mom asks about work later,

you say we work at Beijixing Tech

and we do artificial intelligence.

Okay.

Mom, we're back.

Mom?

Mom?

You're doing this?

Mom, let me explain.

Yes or no?

Yes.

Mom.

Mom, let me explain to you.

Mom.

I know I was wrong.

I promised you I'd never play games again.

- But Dad actually... - Don't mention him!

I'll give you two options.

One, you quit this job.

Two,

I disown you as my son.

It's fine.

Maybe your mom is upset now.

Once she calms down in a couple of days,

you can apologize to her.

I'm sorry.

Thank you, Mr. Jiang.

Are you planning to keep the tortoise in the office?

It's been sick recently.

I'm worried leaving it alone at home during the day,

so I want to bring it to the office to take care of it.

Am I not allowed to keep it in the office?

No, it's okay.

- Let me hold it for you. - No need.

Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, it won't affect my work.

Where did the little tortoise come from? It's so cute.

I've been raising it since I moved out of your place.

You know my personality.

I don't have many friends, so I chat with it at home.

But Coconut has been sick recently.

I'm quite worried.

- What happened? What's wrong with it? - Shell rot.

It's a common disease among tortoises.

What should we do? Should I come with you to the vet after work?

I was also thinking about that.

(What to do if a tortoise has shell rot? Symptomatic treatment is key.)

Is it suffering a lot?

Don't touch it.

When they get shell rot, they need sunlight.

You're blocking its light.

Sunbathing helps with recovery.

UV light can kill bacteria effectively.

Apply erythromycin ointment and pay attention to water quality.

Why are you so concerned?

I've been raising tortoises since I was a kid.

I can't stand your unscientific way of raising them.

Xin Yi, if you have any questions, just ask me.

I know all about it.

This tortoise is very important to Xin Yi.

Xin Yi, don't listen to him.

Just to be safe, after work, I'll accompany you to the hospital.

No, you can't go to the hospital.

Hospitals are more dangerous.

Many diseases can be easily cross-infected.

Xin Yi, what do you think?

Mr. Jiang, you have a meeting in 10 minutes.

I sent the documents to your email. Did you see them?

I'll look at them.

Why is Jiang Jun Nan acting so weird?

Totally agree.

Ignore him.

Stella.

You must seriously consider what I just mentioned.

Mr. Wang.

Here's the latest proposal.

Gu Xun.

You came just in time.

Stella and I are talking about your department.

You see, the company poured massive investments into Xialu this year.

But so far, we haven't made a dime.

With the current situation looking good, let's do a presale.

There are currently no plans for a presale for Xialu.

Plans change all the time, don't they?

We've spent so much money on Xialu.

It's time for the company to see some returns.

- I disagree. - Why don't you agree?

All foreign game companies can do this.

Why can't we?

Unless

you can't deliver.

Expecting an AAA game to turn a profit in one year

is impossible for any company.

But rest assured,

we're ahead of schedule outlined in the contract set for three years.

By then, the profits and reputation we bring to the company

will exceed your expectations.

All right, spare me the pie in the sky.

I'm asking you,

can we start presales now to recoup some funds?

No.

Mr. Wang.

At this stage,

I agree with Gu Xun's approach.

You can't just look at this from your own perspective.

You have to consider the interests of the company and shareholders.

Stella, sometimes hard truths are what we need to hear.

It's up to you.

Their food is really delicious.

- Hello? - (Hello, your medicine is here.)

(Please come downstairs and pick it up.)

Medicine? I didn't buy any medicine.

(Are you Ms. Chen?)

(Last four digits are 2825?)

Yes, I am.

(That's right. I'm downstairs in your company.)

(Please come down and pick it up.)

Okay, wait a moment.

I'm coming over.

It's so late and you haven't gone home yet?

I thought I'd print out the documents you need for tomorrow's meeting.

The printer got jammed?

The papers are stuck.

No worries, I'll call someone to fix it.

It's okay, I can handle this small issue.

Mr. Jiang.

You've been acting a bit strange these past two days.

Don't overthink it.

I had a crush on you before,

but now it's completely gone.

Now it's just respect from a subordinate to a boss.

Don't read into it too much.

That's not what I meant.

It's late, and it's just the two of us in the office.

Isn't it not good for you if this spreads out?

That's okay. We're both aboveboard.

What are you afraid of?

Then, let me do it.

Okay.

Help me pull this side.

Okay, this is it.

Right.

No, this way.

Pull.

I'll grab a file and head back.

Goodbye.

(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)
