(Episode 24)

I still firmly believe that making AAA games

is the best decision I've made.

- Sign it. - All right.

(Stella's 34% + Mr. Li's 15% = Stella holds 49% shares)

(Mr. Wang's 30% + Mr. Zhao's 21% = Watt Games holds 51% shares)

This way, Mr. Lu.

Allow me to introduce. This is Lu Xin, a famous investor in China.

I'm sure you've heard of him.

I'm here to compete with Watt Games.

Mr. Wang, don't rush into signing with Watt Games.

The contract I've brought

offer better acquisition terms than Watt Games'.

I hope you will make a wise choice.

Mr. Lu, your terms really are good.

We had a deal. You can't go back on it.

Steve, I'm a businessman.

Business is business.

Long ago,

the three people in this photo also dreamed of making AAA games,

but that dream never came true.

Gu,

I hope you can fulfill our unfinished dream.

Keep going.

Thank you, Uncle Lu.

Mr. Lu, your terms are really good.

You know what, I'll transfer all my shares to you.

- I'll sign right now. - Wang Shi Guo...

You can't sign.

What's going on?

Over the past few years, Mr. Wang has abused his position

and engaged in various illegal activities.

I'm Mr. Wang's driver.

Mr. Wang's misuse of distribution channels for personal gain

and his abuse of authority,

it's all recorded in my dashcam.

- Xu, you... - If the evidence of Mr.Wang's wrongdoing is verified,

I will consult with a lawyer

to legally and reasonably

take over Mr. Wang's 30% shares.

Mr. Lu,

thank you so much for your support for HC Game.

I'll see you in court.

Stella.

Mr. Zhao.

Stella,

I've decided to continue supporting you.

Mr. Zhao, you're too late.

Everything has already been settled.

It's not too late.

What matters is that I expressed my stance.

Let's go.

I will protect the efforts of everyone.

HC Game will get better and better.

Boss, can we have half a day off?

Day off!

All right, day off it is.

But not today.

However, I'll arrange a celebration feast.

Xin Yi.

Thank goodness

I had Mr. Zhao hold 10% of the shares for me

without telling you back then.

Mr. Zhao?

Out of Mr. Zhao's 20% of shares,

10% belong to me.

I was afraid you'd squander them,

so I kept it from you.

- Zhao Yu... - Yes, my friend.

Zhao Yu, you're so fickle-minded,

always easily swayed by others.

- Look... - Look at how well my daughter is running the company now.

My friend, please stop talking about it.

I know I made a mistake.

I shouldn't have listened to Mr. Wang.

You've made plenty of mistakes.

- Just go. Get in your car. - All right then. I'll take off now.

Dad,

when did you become so close with Mr. Zhao?

We grew up in the same alley.

I even introduced him to his first big break.

But Dad, have you thought about it?

What would happen if you had failed to convince Mr. Zhao?

If he sells off his 10% shares,

he can cash in a large sum.

How much money do you need to redeem it?

HC Game is valued at 1.2 billion.

10% shares would be over 100 million.

Dad.

What are you doing? You're not planning to sell the house, are you?

I've kept something from you.

Remember the five properties we got from the demolition?

I only told you about three.

Then, I made some hefty profits

in stocks and other investments.

Now that the property prices have soared

and other projects have paid off,

I have more than enough

to buy out Mr. Zhao's shares.

How's that? I always tell you

to keep a way out,

and now it's come in handy, hasn't it?

- Thank you, Dad. - It's nothing.

Since I've done you such a huge favor,

shouldn't you show some gratitude by promoting me or something?

How about making me head of security?

- No problem. - No problem, huh?

Xin Yi.

Now that it's all over. Please come back.

I'm actually doing quite well in Project Team 1.

The job is challenging,

and my boss trusts me.

I'm sorry.

What did you do wrong?

Why are you apologizing to me?

From now on, I'll tell you everything right away.

I trust you completely.

Also,

I really can't do

without you.

So, you're just not used to being without an assistant.

I'm sorry, but I refuse.

No, that's not it. I didn't mean that.

I don't need an assistant. I was just hoping you...

All right. I got it.

I'll think about it.

- Then... - But I can't promise when.

Please don't rush me.

Okay. It's all up to you.

What's wrong?

What are you holding?

It kicked me.

This is for you, to keep Coconut company.

Coconut is perfectly fine playing by itself.

But Latte

looks so pitiful and lonely.

Coconut Latte.

Look how much fun they're having.

Oh, right.

I even made them a tortoise villa.

Come on in.

Look, I have a male one, and you have a female one.

Maybe they could be a couple.

That's not possible.

Coconut is also male.

How could two males be a couple?

Coconut is male?

I didn't know that. I bought the wrong one.

All right now, Mr. Jiang. I should get back to work.

Xin Yi.

Since you're considering coming back,

can you also consider one more thing?

What is it?

Please give me a chance

and let me be your boyfriend.

No.

Are you still annoyed with me?

Not really.

Okay, how about this? Three months.

Just like when you first started here.

A probation period.

You can observe my performance. If I pass, you'll let me be your boyfriend.

I'll see what you've got.

Where should I put this then?

I brought snacks because I thought you might get bored on the journey.

I planned to eat them with you on the high-speed train.

Those are Lunar New Year gifts for you

and your parents.

They are a little heavy. I thought I could carry them over for you.

Don't be mad.

It's not like I'm never taking you home.

I just thought it might be a bit sudden to introduce you to my parents

this Lunar New Year.

I haven't even told them about us yet.

How about I tell them this time and I'll bring you home next time?

All right now, don't be upset.

I don't want to be apart from you either.

How about I come back earlier?

Why do I feel skeptical about that?

Then let's just eat the snacks first.

This way, it'll be like you're keeping me company

on the high-speed train in advance.

I mean...

This is...

Lollipops are the best!

All right.

Text me your address.

I'll have them deliver to you.

Sure. You're the best.

But how do I wish your parents a Happy Lunar New Year?

First impressions are crucial.

It's okay, my family isn't that formal.

Just send my parents a New Year's greeting on WeChat.

- Hello. - (You're really dating Gu now?)

Why didn't you tell me such great news?

Gu is such an outstanding child.

It's such a surprise that he's interested in you.

I'm just so happy for you!

Mom, your daughter is me, remember?

That's why I'm happy for you.

I mean, Gu is so great, what did he see in you?

Hang on, who told you this?

Doesn't matter. Just come home.

You finally brought home

good news this year.

All right. I'm hanging up now.

Yue, I'm making more dishes for you!

I have good news. Get ready to celebrate.

What is this?

Miss, your parents seem quite unusual.

Sir, is your family still in need of a daughter?

Hello.

(Qian Ling,)

your cousin logged in with your ID just now.

I thought it was you,

so I said to her, "Darling, let's play a round."

(I see. That explains it.)

It's okay.

I'm not finished.

Your cousin added me on WeChat

and then added me into your family group chat.

You... I...

Please don't say anything in the group chat.

If they ask you questions, just reply with emojis.

Don't say anything, got it?

Fine.

(You're Qian Ling's boyfriend, right? I'm her aunt.)

(What do you do for a living?)

(Loving Family Group Chat)

(May you have a prosperous New Year)

(How long have you known Qian Ling?)

(Qian Ling is a great girl.)

(She has many admirers.)

(Why do you keep sending red packets?)

(Didn't you tell me not to say anything?)

(Uncles and Aunt,)

(I think Qian Ling's boyfriend is pretty cool.)

(I think so too. Such a nice young man. He has manners.)

What's all this?

(Official announcement on family group chat is made.)

Wake up.

Mom, it's cold.

You know it's cold.

Look at the time now. Get up and have breakfast.

It's Lunar New Year, and you're not helping me with the cleaning.

You're so lazy.

Can't you show a little concern for me? I'm getting old.

What are you doing?

You're always glued to your phone.

You're closer to it than to your own mother.

Mom, other parents only start complaining

after their kids have been home for a month,

I've only been back for two days.

Because you're worse than other kids.

- Mom... - Get up now.

- Good girl. - Mom, did you receive any parcels for me?

No. Get up and have breakfast. Hurry up.

I got it.

Hello. Morning.

(What's wrong?)

What do you mean what's wrong? Can't I call you if nothing's wrong?

Didn't you say my gift was going to arrive soon?

Why hasn't it come yet?

(It's almost there.)

So...

I...

(I miss you.)

Me too.

(Really?)

(Come out then.)

(Come and sign for your New Year's gift.)

I...

- Watch your back. Move gently. - Honey!

Stop there. Where are you going?

You're going out in such a hurry in your pajamas.

Dad...

My boyfriend is here.

What? Boyfriend?

Your boyfriend is here?

- Boyfriend? - Gu is here?

Why are you still standing here then? Invite him in.

Hang on.

It's not that easy to get into our house.

What are you trying to do?

Honey,

do you really like him?

Yes.

I've met that young man.

He's really nice.

He brings her breakfast, does housework,

laundry, mops the floor,

and even gives massages.

Most importantly, he treats our daughter well.

Of course, he falls just a little short compared to you.

That's for sure.

Invite him in now.

Wait.

How about we let him prove how he can be good to you?

Right?

How should he prove it?

Here's an idea.

How did you get here?

I rushed over overnight after having

reunion dinner with my mom yesterday.

Why didn't you tell me then?

I wanted to surprise you.

Come in.

Are you sure it's not inconvenient?

It's fine. My mom will be so happy to see you.

Really?

But I'm not so sure about my dad.

Is your father fierce?

You will find out soon.

Dad, Mum.

Gu!

- Happy Lunar New Year, Aunt. - Happy Lunar New Year.

- I brought you something. - Oh, how nice of you. You shouldn't have.

So, you're Qian Ling's boyfriend, huh?

Happy Lunar New Year, Uncle.

You came without telling us first.

Well, it's Lunar New Year.

I thought I'd come to wish you all a happy new year.

- That's right. - And to see Qian Ling.

You haven't eaten, right?

Come, Gu, let's eat first.

You've come from afar, let's have a meal first.

And you're wearing this?

Go and get changed.

You haven't even washed your hair.

Here it comes.

- Careful there. - You got the dish, Mom.

It's burning hot.

So hot.

All dishes are served.

Gu, we're really happy to have you here,

so I've prepared a table full of food.

I don't know what you like to eat.

Don't be shy, just make yourself comfortable.

Eat whatever you like, okay?

Yes. Usually when I come home,

my mom doesn't make this much food for me.

- Let's eat. - Yes, let's eat.

Here, Gu, try a piece of pig trotter first.

My wife got up in the middle of the night to stew it last night.

It's especially tender. Look.

It feels like there's no bone, right? It's all melted.

Raise your bowl. Don't drop it.

Pick it up with your bowl.

- Have some prawns too. - Thank you, Uncle.

A prawn for you. It's really fresh.

Try it.

- Try the prawn. - So, pig trotter and prawn?

Try it.

No need to spit out the skin.

Just swallow it.

It's real liquor this time, right?

As Zhuge Liang said,

observe one's true nature by getting them drunk.

Very well said, Uncle.

From now on, I'll ask questions, you'll answer them.

If I don't like your answer,

you'll have to take a drink.

Qian Ling, fill his glass.

Wait, Dad, just him?

When are you going to drink?

I'll drink whenever I feel like it.

Fill his glass now.

Introduce yourself first.

Okay. My name is Gu Xun. I'm 23.

I'm 187 cm tall, 65 kg,

and I'm Qian Ling's boyfriend.

Drink!

Are you not satisfied with my height and weight?

I'm not satisfied with anything, especially the word "boyfriend."

Actually, I'm also Qian Ling's boss.

I hate workplace romances the most.

Like in TV series,

male bosses abusing their positions,

fooling around during work hours,

texting, playing games, and chit-chatting with their female subordinates.

They even claim to be their "male bestie,"

purposely moving across the hall.

Being attentive to the girls all the time

and calling themselves "the best neighbor in China."

- That's not all. - Uncle.

Say no more.

I'll drink.

How far have you and my daughter progressed?

- Dad... - Uncle, rest assured.

Although Qian Ling and I haven't been together for long,

if you feel like we're progressing too slowly,

I can prepare to propose earlier.

- What are you talking about? - Trust me, I'll treat Qian Ling well.

Who says you can propose to my daughter?

What are you thinking, young man?

Are you out of your mind?

Drink!

Okay.

Dad, I think that's enough.

Drinking too much isn't good for him.

Fine.

I'll ask one last question.

How can you prove that you'll treat my daughter well?

Uncle,

here's my salary card.

What else?

Here are my car keys.

Is that all?

This is my insurance policy,

with Qian Ling as the beneficiary.

What else?

And...

And...

And

this is all I have left.

Sleep on this.

This sofa is so small, how can you sleep on it?

Your legs can't even stretch out.

I'll be fine.

I got you a new pillow and a blanket.

Thank you.

I'm going back to my room.

What's wrong?

Did you forget something?

What?

- Good night. - Go on.

Good luck for tomorrow.

Good morning, Uncle.

Look at the time now. Why aren't you up yet?

Um, it's only five o'clock.

Is five o'clock still early?

Five o'clock...

Come on, let's go practice swordplay.

You're so healthy, Uncle.

Yes. It's got to be shaped nicely.

Make sure it's sunny-side-up.

Why sunny-side-up?

Because it's my daughter's favorite.

Over medium. Watch that heat.

I'll turn down the heat then.

The shape looks nice.

- Is this good? - Yes.

Here's your fried egg.

Sunny-side-up, over medium.

Your favorite.

Thank you.

- Let's eat. - I think the bulb is broken.

Why doesn't it light up? I think it needs to be replaced.

I'll do it.

Being taller is useful after all.

Why is this chair so wobbly?

- I'll fix it, Aunt. - Here.

Thank you, Aunt.

- It should be... - The egg is good.

- It's good. - There seems to be an issue with the toilet.

I think it's clogged.

I'll fix it.

- Are you sure you can fix it? - Leave it to me, Uncle.

He doesn't even mind doing that.

Mom, my bed sheet needs to be changed, right?

- Oh, yes. It slipped my mind. - Aunt, stay. I'll do it.

- Your idea is good. - Right?

So smart.

You've worked hard.

It's nothing.

Then, hang in there.

Yue, come and do the laundry.

I'll do it!

Gu,

Qian Ling is lactose intolerant,

she can't drink milk.

She often grinds her teeth at night, which indicates a lack of calcium.

Also, she doesn't like eating breakfast.

This won't do. Skipping breakfast isn't good

for the stomach for you young people.

You have to keep an eye on her for me, okay?

Okay, Uncle. I'll keep an eye on her.

Boss.

- We'd like a pack. - Got it.

She has loved eating candied chestnuts since she was little.

She craves for them every day.

This caused her teeth problems when she was little.

So, when you buy them for her,

buy fewer.

Thanks.

- 15 yuan, right? - Yes.

It's paid.

Uncle, is there anything else I should pay attention to?

Come on, let's go buy soy sauce.

We're home.

Here you are.

- Where is my soy sauce? - Here, Aunt.

I'm going to make lunch.

- I'll do it, Aunt. - It's fine.

Honey?

Dad. You're home.

Honey, since Gu is here,

spend some time with him.

I'll call you when lunch is ready.

Have you talked to him?

How did you win over my dad?

I not only won over your dad,

but I also know about your plans.

What plans?

The empty plate tactics,

the pig trotters.

So, he told you, huh?

I even know how you broke your teeth eating candied chestnuts

when you were a kid.

He told you that too?

He also told me how you used to wash your face

with toilet water when you were little.

Dad!

(A year later)

By the way, should we invite the members of the Empress Dowager team?

We've been playing games together for a year after all.

It's such an important occasion.

We should invite them.

Okay. We can leave Jiang Jun Nan out of the invitation, right?

Yes.

Just curious,

will you be nervous that day?

With you by my side,

what do I have to be nervous about?

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

Please come inside.

Congratulations.

- Congratulations, Mr. Gu and Qian Ling. - Thank you.

Please come inside.

It's about time.

Let's wait a little longer, there might be someone else coming.

How are you feeling? Nervous?

A little. What about you?

I'm really looking forward to it.

Camel, Mai.

It's been so long.

Congratulations.

Looking good, you two, dressed to the nines.

Today is your big day.

We've got to dress up for the occasion. We came prepared.

All right now. Here.

We'll go in first. See you later.

Congratulations.

May you have children soon.

You guys are here.

Go in first. See you later.

What are you two doing? Hurry up.

They are here. Hurry.

Thank you.

Qian Ling!

Congratulations, Gu Xun.

Thank you.

Say a few words to everyone.

Speech!

(Xialu 10 Million Copies)

Firstly, I'd like to express my gratitude to everyone here.

The journey of Xialu hasn't been easy.

At the beginning,

many people doubted us,

no one believed us,

no one cared,

but we kept pushing forward,

persevering time and time again

to earn even the slightest opportunity.

To be honest,

I couldn't have made it

without you guys.

I'm very fortunate

to have encountered HC Game, to have met Stella,

who helped

my lifelong dream officially take flight.

Jiang Jun Nan,

you've always been my strongest support.

Yi Hong,

thank you for giving up a high-paying job abroad to return to China

and do something that seemed completely impossible.

Wei Han,

thank you for bringing a visual feast to everyone

with the utmost professionalism.

Su Zheng,

your ideas and innovations

have brought a fresh breath of air to Xialu.

Fan Xing,

your high standards

have made every detail of Xialu impeccable.

And Qian Ling,

thank you for your support and companionship all along.

Your growth

has exceeded my imagination.

I'd like to thank everyone in the Ninth Business Unit.

Thanks to everyone's efforts,

the sales of Xialu have surpassed ten million copies.

I returned to China to make AAA games for this moment.

Mr. Gu, I wasn't wrong to trust you.

All the things we boasted about in Ninth Business Unit have come true.

You were boasting, but we've achieved this through hard work.

- Hard work. - I...

Mr. Jiang...

All right.

Let's invite our boss Stella and Mr. Gu to cut the cake.

Here, try this.

- There are so many people around. - What are you afraid of?

Mr. Jiang, are you having cakes here?

Do you enjoy it?

- It's okay. - It's okay, huh?

Mr. Jiang, Xin Yi, are you sure it's proper for you to do PDA like this?

What's improper about it? What's wrong with it?

- Let us join you then. - Yes, let us join you.

Eat up.

Xin Yi, if Mr. Jiang ever mistreats you,

just let me know. We've got your back.

That's right.

I would never mistreat her.

- From now on... - What are you doing?

I'll listen to you on everything.

I can't take it anymore. Forget it.

This is too much. Let's go.

- What are you doing? - What?

I don't like you doing this.

You're my girlfriend.

Take another bite.

I'm gaining weight.

Everything feels like a dream today.

This happiness feels so surreal.

Yes.

We finally made it.

(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)

(You come close to me)

(Scattering sparks, countless yearnings bloom)

(My heart starts beating fervently)

(Thinking of everything about you uncontrollably)

(You come close to me)

(Scattering sparks, countless yearnings bloom)

(My heart starts beating fervently)

(Thinking of everything about you uncontrollably)

(You come close to me)

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

(Every day)

(My dreams come true for you)

(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)
