Hello, who is this?

Hello, I'm from Zenpro's HR Department.

I'm Ms. Dong. Are you Mr. Qi Xiao?

I am.

What is it?

Hello, Mr. Qi.

I couldn't reach you last night.

Interviews for the assistant of the Legal Department's manager

are at 10:30 a.m. today.

Are you available?

The assistant of the Legal Department's manager?

Yes.

Can you come by for an interview?

Yes, sure.

The interview notice has been emailed to you.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

The assistant of the Legal Department's manager?

Zenpro Automotive.

What's happening?

You're welcome.

I applied for you.

When did you apply for me?

I knew you wouldn't be able to get the money back from Luoluo.

So when I applied,

I applied for you too.

Cherish this.

I've sent in over 200 resumes.

No one has called me for an interview yet.

You're lucky.

Thank you.

Hello.

I have an interview on the 27th floor.

Okay, please register.

Please wait here for the interview.

Thank you.

Mr. Wang Xiaojie.

Ms. Zhang Xiaqi.

This way, please.

Mr. Zhang Shuyu.

This way, please.

Ms. Lin Haiqing.

This way, please.

Hello.

May I ask when it'll be my turn?

-Who are you? -Qi Xiao.

I'm sorry, your interview was canceled.

Why?

I'm not sure why.

No, you told me to come for an interview.

I lost my entire morning waiting here.

Now you tell me it's canceled? What were you doing earlier?

You owe me an explanation.

I'm really sorry.

The interviews are over.

Sir, you can't go in there.

You can't go in.

Ms. Shen, should I call security?

It's okay.

I want an interview.

Have a seat.

Do you know what position you applied for?

The manager's assistant.

I'm the Legal Department's manager in charge of hiring.

Do you think I'll hire you?

As the manager of the Legal Department,

you should be reasonable.

You are fresh out of college.

You don't have any training experience.

And you like drinking.

What makes you think you're qualified to be my assistant?

I managed various business contracts

for my advisor at school.

Also, last night was just a distraction for a friend.

I don't like drinking.

Corporate legal affairs

are more than drafting contracts.

I can learn.

We pay people to work,

not learn, okay?

The interview is over.

You don't meet my standards.

Ms. Shen!

Ms. Shen.

If you have a misconception about me,

I can apologize.

But I really need this job.

What happened before was my fault.

I admit I'm prejudiced against you.

But my refusal to hire you

is because you're not qualified.

I accept your apology.

But it won't change my mind.

Ms. Shen.

You started out as a newbie, right?

Before you had your first job,

you had no work experience.

Please give me a chance. I promise I'll do a good job.

Promises are cheap.

What I need is proof.

If you don't move aside,

I will really call security.

One iced Americano.

One vanilla mocha.

Hot.

Qi Xiao?

You're that cheerleading squid!

No, I'm sorry.

You…

You Sijia.

I'm sorry.

Do you all call me a squid?

I forgot who started it. It's what the basketball team calls you.

Don't mind it.

It's okay.

Are you applying for a job?

I don't have a chance.

Do you work here?

No.

I started interning here in my third year of college.

It has been two years.

I'm not even sure if I'll get a permanent position this year.

It's so hard to get a job at a big company.

I hope I can stay here.

I'll buy you coffee. I'm on a coffee run anyway.

No, it's on me.

You have a lot of experience. I could use your advice.

-Come on. -Come on.

Thank you.

Ruoxin is quite strict.

But it's nothing personal.

Don't take it to heart.

That's how job searching is.

There's no end to the hurdles.

Even if you get a job, you might not get a permanent position.

It's too hard to find a job now.

You thought ahead

and started interning so early.

I didn't think of it that far.

I was shopping

and was just passing by.

I saw so many office workers going in and out of that building.

They seemed so elegant and classy.

I thought to myself

that it would be great to work at that office too.

It was purely because of vanity.

You're quite honest.

Is she the reason you can't get a permanent position?

No.

Ruoxin might seem unfriendly,

but she's kindhearted.

In the past two years,

she taught me everything and gave me a chance.

And she's very professional.

She's hardworking and has high standards.

I really admire her.

If she gets promoted to director,

she would help me get a permanent position.

But…

Never mind about that.

She's working on a big case right now

and isn't in a good mood,

so she might come off as a bit harsh.

You just met her at a bad time.

What kind of big case? Spill the details.

Look.

We just drained the underground pipes last year.

How could water get in here?

Also, look.

This is Mr. Jin's designated spot.

Even if water floods that area,

it wouldn't reach here.

Isn't that a security camera?

Do you have the footage?

Show me the footage during the storm.

I don't have the authority.

You'll have to ask our team leader.

Sure. Where is he? Let me talk to him.

He's probably eating at this hour.

Look, it's almost one o'clock. I haven't eaten either.

Why don't you wait for our team leader

in the security room?

I'll grab something to eat.

Then go and eat first.

-I'll go there later, okay? -All right.

-Thank you. -No problem.

Hello.

Is this Mr. Wang from the Inspection Department?

I'm the Legal Department's Shen Ruoxin. I have a question.

Is the report on Jin Yuanhao's case ready yet?

Here.

Why are you here?

I'm here to ask for a chance

to prove that I can be a good legal assistant.

Get out of here. Leave, will you?

Don't scold me just yet. Worry about yourself first.

You haven't eaten all day, right?

Wait here. I'll be right back.

Hello?

Ruoxin.

I'm calling to apologize.

I may have been too harsh yesterday.

Don't take it personally.

No, I wasn't myself yesterday.

Ruoxin, listen.

If you think it's too soon for us to get married,

I can wait.

I'll wait until you're ready.

I think I made myself clear yesterday.

We're just not right for each other.

Ruoxin, don't be rash.

Why don't we talk in person?

You're at Pudong Avenue, right?

I'll come to you.

How did you know that?

Well, they…

Yes, they said you were out on Pudong Avenue.

I'm working. I'm busy.

Let's talk after work, okay?

Whole wheat, red bean paste, and plain.

Take your pick. I don't know your preference.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to see you.

I know you're busy with a self-ignition case.

You said I'm not capable of being your assistant.

I've discovered clues that will work to your advantage.

If you hire me,

I'll give you the clues.

How much were the bread and milk? Is 100 yuan enough?

That's not urgent. Let's talk about the case first.

Here's 100 yuan.

Is that enough?

Here's a parting gift.

Rookie, don't act like a know-it-all with all sorts of shady tricks.

In this profession, conduct and reputation are vital.

They stay with you for decades.

Be a good person.

Fine, I'll just tell you.

I ran into You Sijia after my interview.

We went to the same college.

She told me you're busy with this case.

I looked up Jin Yuanhao's post myself

and found this photo.

Look.

What are you saying?

I had an online shop that sells original bracelets.

I made this bracelet myself.

I remember the buyer ordered three bracelets.

One men's and two women's bracelets.

The materials were from Italy,

so they were not cheap and there weren't many suppliers.

I also stressed that they were non-returnable.

The buyer assured me that he wouldn't back out.

He gave me two addresses,

one in Xuhui and the other in Yangpu.

Are you saying one woman's bracelet was sent to Yangpu?

That's right.

Here is my chat log with him.

He specifically requested

different sizes for the women's bracelets.

That's when we thought he had to be a player.

Aside from quality issues,

improper operation can also cause autoignition.

The main reasons include improper modifications,

major collisions, storage of highly flammable items,

and water damage.

I looked it all up online.

But there was a big storm in Shanghai two days ago.

Many garages were flooded.

I'm wondering if Jin Yuanhao's car

was also flooded.

Did You Sijia tell you all this?

I just guessed.

You Sijia told me that we had the same idea.

You also checked Jin Yuanhao's garage

for flooding.

You're at his company too.

Looking at you, I guess the company didn't have that issue.

I think

we have one more place left to go.

Do you want to use the Yangpu address

to get the assistant position?

That was my plan.

But now, even if you don't hire me,

I'll still tell you.

Why?

The way you stick to your principles

is quite cool.

Kid, are you changing your strategy?

You went from coercion to flattery.

You're not playing hard to get, are you?

Why do you have to think the worst of me?

I mean it.

Whether you mean it or not, give me the address first.

Honey, I want to be discharged.

I'm fine anyway.

Since I'm not home,

Yuanyuan probably isn't doing his homework.

Here.

You're badly injured.

Don't worry too much.

Be careful.

Here.

Just focus on getting better.

Mr. and Mrs. Jin, we meet again.

You people are unbelievable.

We agreed to meet the day after tomorrow.

Ms. Shen, I don't want to talk to you.

I'll only talk to Mr. Ruan.

Mr. Jin,

we've learned some new information.

I would like to confirm it with you.

Do you think we can speak in private?

Why do we need to speak in private?

Say it here.

What is it that you can't say in the open?

Yes, why do you want to speak privately?

I'm the victim here.

I'm right here, okay?

Here, honey.

Thank you, honey.

Mrs. Jin, what a unique bracelet you have.

How pretty. Is it handmade?

He has good taste.

We have a pair.

Matching bracelets?

My husband had this bracelet made for me.

And he said this is the only pair.

My husband is so sweet.

I have a "cloud" character in my name.

Look at all the little clouds on the bracelet.

-Thank you, honey. -That's enough.

Is there really no second pair?

I think I've seen it before somewhere.

How could you have?

This was specially made for me.

Of course, there's only one pair.

How could they understand?

Honey, how about this?

They're already here.

I'll just chat with them.

Let's head back inside, okay?

The nurse said she'll change your dressing.

Okay. It's getting sunny. I'll head inside.

Mr. and Mrs. Jin, allow me.

Have a good chat with Ms. Shen.

Mrs. Jin, I just remembered.

I saw your bracelet in an online shop.

But it was already sold.

So your husband bought it. What a coincidence.

Yes, that must have been my husband.

Ms. Shen,

I made a deal with Mr. Ruan.

Two million yuan in compensation.

Not one yuan less.

You saw her.

My wife is badly burned.

The scar will last forever.

Put yourself in her shoes.

If this happened to you,

wouldn't you be upset?

My wife and I

are severely traumatized

by this kind of vehicle.

My wife loves to cook.

Now she fears the sight of fire.

We were planning to have a second baby this year.

What's the use in telling you this?

Let's keep it short.

Two million yuan. Not one yuan less.

Mr. Jin, I just came from Yangpu District.

I took some photos to show you.

Wait.

Where did you get that?

What would you do? What do you mean by this?

I was just at that complex.

I spoke to the neighbors and property managers

to understand and verify the situation.

On the day of the storm, that area was flooded.

What a coincidence.

The property manager clearly remembered

your car was parked in a corner that was flooded.

You have made a complaint.

They even helped you push your car out.

I also went to your company's underground parking lot

to get security footage.

On the day of the storm, your car wasn't at the company.

Neither your home garage

nor company parking lot was flooded.

I don't think

Mrs. Jin is fully informed about the truth.

So…

So what?

So what about it?

Even if a little bit of water got into my car,

that can't be proven as the cause of the fire.

Ms. Shen,

I'm absolutely furious now.

Are you trying to negotiate with me?

If this is your attitude, then I'm sorry.

Let me tell you. I'll continue posting online.

I'm sure victims like us can stand up to unscrupulous businessmen.

I'll see you in court!

Mr. Jin, please listen. Calm down.

Let me finish.

You have the right to indict.

Posting is freedom of speech.

But evidence is required to indict it.

Posts should also be truthful.

Otherwise, we will sue you for defamation.

Please also do us the same courtesy

and put yourself in our company's shoes.

If this gets out of hand,

we will want to prove our innocence

and bring forth all the evidence we have.

Wait.

All the evidence?

Yes.

Of course, that includes these photos.

So settling this as soon as possible

is all in the best interest of you and my company.

Don't you agree?

Ms. Shen, how about this?

After all, the two million yuan

isn't coming out of your pocket.

If you give me two million yuan,

I'll make it worth your while.

I understand.

We're all working hard to earn a living.

Would you like 500,000 yuan?

We should--

Do you want to continue?

Mr. Jin, harmony brings prosperity.

I think this is the best solution for now.

Of course, we honor our word.

Your personal life won't be included in the contract.

Yes.

Okay.

See you in the afternoon in two days.

Impressive.

The bracelet is beautiful.

NANPU BRIDGE

Aren't you happy it's settled?

Based on your performance,

I've decided to give you a chance.

A legal assistant on one-month probation.

We're covering up for Jin Yuanhao.

Isn't that a bit immoral?

His wife doesn't know anything.

She's quite pitiful.

I visited his wife yesterday.

We talked for a long time.

His wife is a full-time housewife.

She has a son who goes to a private kindergarten.

She even lives in a mansion.

Her son's school tuition,

trips abroad twice a year,

and the mansion's mortgage loan

are all paid for by Jin Yuanhao.

So?

Is that why she shouldn't have

the love and respect that a wife deserves?

You're getting married soon.

Can you tolerate this treatment?

I can't.

That's why I don't plan to get married.

Didn't your boyfriend propose last night?

Did you reject him?

Why should I tell you about my personal life?

Anyway, I think what we did was wrong.

Mrs. Jin has the right to know.

How do you know she doesn't know?

Maybe she knew

and just wanted to use this

to make Mr. Jin feel guilty,

thus gaining herself a greater voice

in her marriage.

What kind of logic is that?

I'm just analyzing the possibilities.

Luckily, I only have to work with you.

It's hard to imagine how your boyfriend can date you.

It's downright scary.

You won't get such a chance, kid.

What a scary older woman.

What did you say?

Watch out for the cars!

I GOT MY DRIVER'S LICENSE, DO NOT DISTURB

You're back late.

What's up?

Life is full of twists and turns.

You were hungover. Did it go badly?

Standing in front of you

is Zenpro Automotive Legal Manager's

assistant, Mr. Qi Xiao.

You're good at acting. Why don't you become an actor?

Keep a low profile. I'm on probation for a month.

I have good news too.

What?

I found a place.

We can move soon.

Really? Where? How much?

5,000 yuan.

5,000 yuan?

That's over the budget.

Hold on.

Check out the neighborhood.

What a fancy neighborhood.

It's such a nice location.

One bedroom must be over 5,000 yuan.

It's actually my friend's house.

They bought it as an investment.

They used it for storage

and had difficulty renting it out.

It's 5,000 yuan a month.

Is it necessary to rent there?

It's necessary, Qi Xiao.

In a big city like Shanghai,

rent is actually a composite index.

What do you mean?

Look.

If we rent in this neighborhood,

it's 2,000 yuan over our budget.

But first,

the location is close to Zenpro.

If you live in the suburbs,

you can't ride your motorcycle.

You'll have to take the subway.

No trains run late at night. You'll take a taxi.

Every taxi ride will cost hundreds of yuan.

Say you live here and work overtime.

You can hop onto your motorcycle

and get home in a couple of minutes.

Second, this is a well-developed area.

We won't be stuck with expensive and nasty delivery.

That also saves money, right?

If we live in the suburbs,

we'll waste up to four hours commuting.

It will affect our happiness index.

So, overall,

the extra 2,000 yuan will be well-spent.

All right.

Since you've thought it through,

I'll have to speak with money.

Let's rent it!

-There's one more thing. -What now?

Actually, my friend uses one of the rooms

to store merchandise,

so there's only one bedroom available.

Moreover,

we have to pay a year's rent in full.

No wonder it's so cheap.

But we'll make do.

You can take the bedroom.

No, I'll take the living room.

You've never met my boss.

She's a devil.

There will be no shortage of overtime.

I don't want to disturb you when I get home late. It's fine.

Thank you.

No need for that.

Tonight, I want beef skewers,

lamb skewers, pork belly…

-Five… -Okay.

Order everything.

Thank you for the meal, Mr. Su.

When will I land a job too?

Don't panic.

You're a talented cartoonist

and designer.

Someone will recognize your talents.

Trust me. The cream always rises to the top.

Guess who I met today.

-Who? -You Sijia.

The squid in the cheerleading team.

We were at a karaoke bar once.

Did you sneak off with her?

No, I just helped her find her phone.

Are you serious?

I remember she seemed interested in you.

She's in the same office waiting for a permanent position.

She was a big help in today's interview.

We should get together sometime soon.

Here's your chance

to pick up where you left off.

Pick up what?

I'm in no position to date anyone right now.

Dating takes time and energy.

More importantly,

it costs money.

I don't have any of that.

What if she is

a smart, cute,

independent, cool,

and mature girl?

I wonder what dating such a girl

would be like.

Are you in heat?

Do you like You Sijia?

Don't worry.

If you do, I'll help you woo her.

Who says I like her?

Gosh, you must be drunk after one can.

Hello, Mom.

I left food in your fridge.

Have you eaten it?

Don't just microwave it.

Heat it on the stove to kill off all the bacteria.

Mom, it smelled odd

when I ate it yesterday.

I already threw it away.

Don't make so much food for me from now on.

I can't finish it all.

You shouldn't eat leftovers either.

You threw it away?

You're so wasteful.

I won't cook for you anymore.

I'm hanging up.

I'm not done talking.

My goodness.

ONE MINUTE OF TIANWEN-1 ORBITING MARS

Our homeland

actually contains a much older source of heat.

The story of mankind originated when the universe was born.

A 13.7 billion-year-old universe

gave birth to countless planets and galaxies.

Incredible spectacles continue to play out

and every wonder is connected to us.

This is the PR Department.

This is the conference room. Meetings are held here.

We usually take breaks in the pantry.

Help yourself to drinks and tea.

This is the office area.

I'll show you your desk.

It's right here.

That's my seat over there.

Ruoxin's seat is inside.

Have a seat.

Thank you.

Qi Xiao,

you and Ruoxin are really amazing.

You two won over Jin Yuanhao in no time.

I'm telling you.

Since Ruoxin settled this case,

she might beat out Ruan Ye and get promoted to Legal Director.

When that happens, your probation

and my permanent position will be…

My goodness! Watch this video!

My goodness.

-That's so romantic. -It's a proposal.

Mr. Cui proposed to Ruoxin!

That's so romantic!

Qi Xiao, is that you?

-It's me. -You…

Thank you, Mr. Liu.

Every little detail will be ready

when Jin Yuanhao comes in to sign the contract tomorrow.

I'll get going.

Isn't this Ms. Shen?

I heard you took care of Jin Yuanhao's case.

Mr. Ruan, you're so well-informed.

Yes, he's coming in tomorrow to sign the settlement agreement.

Our company only needs

to pay for his wife's hospital bills.

Ms. Shen, you're amazing.

I have one more thing to congratulate you on.

This is a double celebration for you.

What do you mean?

Ruoxin!

I want to see the big diamond ring.

What big diamond ring?

This…

Where's the ring?

I saw it in the video.

What video?

Mr. Cui posted a video of the proposal to the office group chat.

Everyone is congratulating you.

He even sent out a huge red envelope.

But I only got 0.63 yuan.

That's so romantic.

-The flowers are pretty too. -Thank you.

Good luck.

Ruoxin.

I was too impulsive yesterday. That's why I'm here to apologize.

In front of all your coworkers today,

I promise you that if you ever want to get married,

I'll wait until you agree.

I'll wait as long as it takes.

Ruoxin, I love you.

Ruoxin, marry him.

-Marry him. -Marry him.

Ruoxin, marry him.

-Marry him. -Marry him.

-Marry him. -Marry him.

-Mr. Liu, this is a place of business. -Marry him.

-They're doing this so openly. -Marry him.

-Marry him. -Marry him.

-Come to my office. -Marry him.

-Marry him. -Marry him.

Excuse me. Thank you.

What's happening?

Let's go.

Cui Lixin, what are you trying to do?

Ruoxin, I made myself clear just now.

I'm here to apologize to you.

I know I said a lot of mean things to you that day.

I hope you don't mind.

And you have to understand that I did all this

because I love you.

-You love me? -Yes.

I broke up with you, but you still shared the proposal in the office chat.

Did you say that speech in front of everyone

because you love me?

You wanted it impossible for me to say no

by presenting this as a fait accompli.

Listen up, Cui Lixin. We've already broken up.

It's past the point of no return.

Shen Ruoxin, sometimes,

I just want to rip open your skull to see what goes on in your head.

Other women want romance and a big show.

If a man did this for a woman,

she would cry her eyes out.

But you're scolding me instead.

Why are you so cold to me?

For the past 100 days,

I've treated you as the apple of my eye.

Even an iceberg would've melted by now.

What more do you want me to do?

I put all my savings

into buying a house for us.

What else do you want me to do?

Do I have to spell it out for you?

I studied law.

You bought the house with all the money you had.

It's a premarital asset.

Were you going to ask me to help you pay off the mortgage?

Ruoxin,

you'll regret this.

Everyone, I have an announcement.

Cui Lixin and I have officially broken up.

That's all.

-What? -What's going on?

You're already 33.

What do you want?

Why are you so cold to me?

For the past 100 days,

I've treated you as the apple of my eye.

Even an iceberg would've melted by now.

Luckily, I only have to work with you.

It's hard to imagine how your boyfriend can date you.

It's downright scary.

Xiaoxin Genie.

Yes?

Will I be alone forever?

If a gorgeous and smart assistant like me

can't answer your question,

you'll forgive me, right?

Xiaoxin Genie.

I'm here. Go ahead.

Do you think I'm cute?

Master, you're the most beautiful person in the world.

Xiaoxin Genie.

Yes?

Do you love me?

I'll always be by your side.

You'll always be by my side.

You won't abandon me.

You'll be with me forever.

Will you love me forever?

Look at that.

Not even a machine can guarantee that.

-Good morning, Ms. Shen. -Good morning.

-Good morning, Ms. Shen. -Good morning.

-Good morning, Ruoxin. -Good morning.

-Good morning, Ruoxin. -Good morning, Ms. Shen.

Good morning.

Sijia, Mr. Jin will be coming to sign the contract later.

Double-check the contract.

Okay.

Ms. Shen, is there anything else I can help you with?

I want to learn too.

Sijia isn't free to teach today.

Look at the shared documents and get familiar with the job.

By the way, bring me coffee.

Mom, I'm busy with work. Is this urgent?

I'm downstairs. Come down.

Now? I just got to the office.

If you don't come down, I'll go upstairs. Your choice.

I'm coming right away.

Wait for me in the lobby.

Mom, what's so urgent?

Since you were young,

throughout school and work,

I never came to see you unless it was serious.

But today, I really feel

as if

the sky is falling.

What is so serious?

What is it? You tell me.

Did you break up with Xiaocui?

How could he?

Did he complain to you?

Don't try to distract me with useless talk.

Just answer me. Yes or no?

Mom, you're fit to be a lawyer.

Yes, I broke up with Cui Lixin.

How old are you?

Your brain must be wired differently from other people.

Mom, let's not talk here.

I'll talk to you at home later--

I want to hear what you have to say right here.

Mom.

I don't like Cui Lixin.

That makes no sense.

If you didn't like him, why would you date him?

He flattered you every day.

You kept nagging me to give him a try.

So I gave it a try.

I tried. He's not right for me.

Cui Lixin and I are not alike.

Even if we stay together, it won't last.

You're just unruly!

Marriage is just a part of life.

He's such a good man.

How can you say you can't live the rest of your life with him?

Marriage is a part of life,

but it can be happy or unhappy.

I would rather stay alone forever

than be in an unhappy marriage.

You know that very well, Mom.

You're right.

I was very unhappy after divorcing your dad.

You had to help me heal my wounds

and put up with my temper for so many years.

But I want to make it clear to you.

Love is a ghost.

No one has ever encountered it.

And a woman's greatest misfortune…
