[English subtitles are available]

We're here.

Be careful.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Careful, it's slippery.

I'm so dizzy.

Go up the stairs.

Slow down.

Wait.

Here...

Hang in there. We're almost there.

Almost there.

Come on.

Turn left.

Turn left?

Go straight!

Go straight.

We're here.

We're at the door.

Slow down.

This one?

Your house uses a password lock?

Be careful.

Okay.

I can sit wherever I want.

Thank you, kid.

You saved me twice.

Go home now.

Okay.

I'll go home.

Jian Bing.

Um...

Anything else?

I...

I...

I have something to tell you.

Go ahead.

Jian Bing.

You should treat yourself better.

Wine is not good for you.

Don't drink too much in the future.

If you drink too much,

your face will swell.

I know

you might be experiencing some bad things recently.

Like divorce...

Don't throw up.

Here's some tissue.

Did you hear

what I said in the car?

I still remember

your eyes were gleaming.

Really.

I'm not lying.

Am I a wolf?

How could my eyes be gleaming?

I was immature when I was young.

I thought my dad was just a street cleaner.

But after watching your film,

I realized

how great

my dad is.

That man is your dad?

You remember it now?

We're destined to meet. Let's drink.

I know I'm not good enough yet,

but I'll work hard.

I hope one day when you see me,

you'll be reminded of your past self.

The design of care.

Look.

The lights are on.

What did I say?

We were worried for nothing.

She's back now. She's completely fine.

How do you know she's back for sure?

She often keeps the lights on.

I'll go upstairs and check.

Good for you, kid.

Why are you here?

I'll be more assured if I take a look too.

No need.

I've checked.

She's back.

Let's go.

I should have a word with her.

She's not young anymore, how can she do this?

She's already asleep. It's late.

Let's go.

Why did she go missing?

Was it just to scare us?

You're right, it's her fault.

We'll have a word with her tomorrow.

Get in.

Hurry up. Take me home. Hurry up.

Let's go.

Why are you still sitting here?

I'm reading.

You can have it. Take it home.

I want to sleep.

Close the door for me.

I...

I'm leaving.

Drink some ginger tea

when you wake up tomorrow.

Hello.

Hello, Director, you're awake.

I've been awake for a while.

I'm preparing to go out.

Wait. Don't talk.

I need my earpieces.

Okay, go ahead.

What did you do last night?

I was worried for nothing.

I thought something happened to you.

Turned out, you were doing something else.

Didn't I tell you?

I went to find my trophy.

You brought the trophy home, didn't you?

The shoe size looked big.

He must be pretty tall.

What are you talking about?

You already brought him home.

Stop pretending.

You were in a bad mood and

you needed comfort, I can understand.

But next time,

at least tell me if you were going home.

I looked for you all night.

Also,

are you in such a rush to divorce

because you have a new target?

You've been acting strange these days.

Very mysterious.

I do have a target,

but it's not a man.

What do you mean?

Yesterday,

I had a conversation

with my trophy.

Although I don't care about the divorce,

but regardless,

Xue has stayed in my life for ten years.

It has a deep impact on me.

But my trophy told me

I have to continue down

the path I have chosen for myself.

Don't worry about me.

From today onwards,

my drunkard days are over.

I want to do something that adults do.

And what would that be?

Work on my career.

I'm hanging up.

I need to go out now.

If you add one small stroke

to the word "imperfect",

it will become

"I'm perfect".

Defects can be perfect.

A rough terrain can be scenery too.

By changing perspectives,

one can find beauty in life's every corner.

Director.

Morning.

We'll shoot very fast today.

Director.

You're here.

Morning.

Morning, Director.

Morning, Yuan.

Morning, Director.

Good morning.

Director.

Ruyi.

Move your arm to the left.

What's with the big earrings?

My boyfriend bought them for me.

You're quite lovey-dovey.

Not as sweet as you and Director Xue.

You two even helped each other with shooting.

Here.

Good morning, Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang.

Director Jian is here.

Good morning.

Director Jian.

Didn't you say

Director Xue will take over today?

No, this...

Why would Director Xue take over my project?

I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang. The shooting was delayed

due to some personal matters yesterday.

We'll catch up today so nothing will be overdue.

That's not right.

This is not what Director Xue said last night.

What's going on?

They must have had a new agreement between them.

The director was drunk.

Right?

Are they fooling me?

Of course not.

I'll ask him.

Call him now.

Ms. Jian Bing.

Didn't Director Xue tell you yesterday?

I thought you two decided that

he'll do the shooting for you today.

Why would he be doing it for me?

You didn't come to the company yesterday.

He came to help you edit the clips.

They had a good chat.

He said that today...

Look.

Look, it's still the same.

Yes.

There must be some other factors.

Okay, go through it again.

Later, we'll shoot according to this.

Send it to everyone.

Okay.

Bing.

You're flying this afternoon for your business trip, right?

No, I wanted to call you just now to tell you.

I canceled it.

What do you mean you canceled it?

Are you staying back to take my job?

Don't say it that way.

I just wanted to help you.

Do I need your help?

There can only be one director on the set.

If you're here, who will call the shots?

No, listen...

I don't care what you said to the client yesterday.

This project is mine.

Your absence

is the greatest form of respect for me.

Okay?

Why are you reading a paper book in this time and day?

You're holding it like it's some treasure.

Is there a beauty inside? Let me see.

There's a golden house inside.

Let me tell you.

I lost half a month's salary

for you yesterday.

You sure have nerves to mention that.

I did all your work

for you this week.

How are you going to settle this?

You have no conscience.

You left me alone yesterday.

I listened to Wang sing the same song all night.

I'm telling you, I've recorded it.

I'll play it on a loop for you all day.

-Believe it or not. -No, no.

I don't deserve it. Thank you, but no thank you.

After I left,

did he get mad at you?

Who?

Who else?

Wang.

No.

It's because I'm good at talking.

You were really something.

In the past,

no matter how annoying we thought he was,

we never showed it on our faces.

Right?

Who is

so important to you that

you're willing to risk your job for them?

I met her.

Who?

Who is it?

Is it that director lady?

Why didn't you tell me?

Do you take me as your friend?

How is she now?

She's just like that.

She must have changed, right?

It's been ten years, what do you think?

She must be married, right?

Is she a mother now?

Let me see.

She was already working when you were 16.

She must at least be in her 30s now.

She's a director,

so she must work in the sun and rain a lot.

Her appearance must be unsightly now.

What are you talking about?

Your appearance is unsightly.

She can't be as charming and stunning as you remembered.

She must be different from your first impression now.

Well, I am different too.

Yes, you are.

But you're different in a positive way.

Is she?

That's not important.

Then what is important?

Let me tell you.

If she is three years older than you, you're in luck.

But if she's 13 years older than you, you're out of luck.

An age gap smaller than five is fine.

But if she's 10 years older than you, it means you're trying to marry rich.

Of course, I don't mean to discriminate against you.

It depends on what she thinks too.

Where did she meet you?

What did you two do last night?

Does she still remember you?

Why do you have so many questions?

Of course.

You've been thinking about her for over ten years.

So, what do you think?

I just think

she's different from what I remembered.

She doesn't seem

to be doing well.

Not doing well in what way?

I'll send it to you later.

Sheng Yang.

Good morning.

I'm going to work.

See you.

I just found out yesterday.

Action.

No reply.

I'm not saying she's not good at her work.

But

Director Xue promised me last night.

I just want him to do it.

Okay, cut.

You know what I mean, right?

Zhang...

You should at least...

Yesterday...

Okay, it's approved.

Get ready for the next scene.

Yang.

What do you mean by she's not doing well?

Let me guess.

She doesn't get along with her husband.

Her child's grades are bad.

Her parents are in poor health.

Or her career is in shambles.

It has to be one of them.

I think she's getting a divorce.

See?

It's within my range of guesses.

Did you go to comfort her last night?

She doesn't need my comfort.

You're so worried about her. Do you really like her?

I said I like the mature type.

But I was just joking.

I didn't take it seriously.

You offended our Team Leader

because of a divorced woman?

Are you out of your mind?

Or do you plan to be a gold digger

and marry rich so you can

lie around and look pretty?

Are you that kind of person?

Listen to me.

Don't do it.

A divorced woman

gave her love to her ex-husband

and her money to her child.

She only wants you because you're fresh.

She's full of tricks and methods.

Can you defeat her?

Let's just keep it real

and date a normal girl.

For example, that girl

with a naive face and pure intentions.

Senior.

Sheng Yang.

You haven’t had breakfast, have you?

I bought it downstairs.

Try it.

Try it, Senior.

No need.

I've eaten. Thank you.

No need to thank me.

If it weren't for you yesterday,

Team Leader would have...

Just take it.

Sheng Yang,

don’t be ungrateful.

You might die single like this.

Junior,

you may not know.

Senior Sheng Yang likes it strong.

This is old chives and eggs.

It has a fragrant scent,

a refreshing flavor,

and a rich aftertaste.

A mere sandwich

is no match for it.

That's right.

This is my favorite.

Smells good.

All you care about is eating.

Stop eating.

We're having a meeting.

Mr. Zhang.

I...

Director Jian.

Well,

where is Director Xue?

Why do you keep asking for him when I'm sitting here?

No.

The key client said

that

Director Xue promised

to take a long shot for him here today.

How funny.

Call him back.

I'll take a long shot for him.

You've seen the quality of my work before.

Do you have any problem with it?

Of course not.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to be the director.

I didn't say anything about the quality of your work.

Then what is it?

You think my attitude is bad?

I think

there's nothing wrong with your attitude either.

So it's personal.

Director Jian,

agencies like us

don't have it easy either.

The client insists on

working with Director Xue instead.

If you insist that he's targeting you,

I think...

you should know if that's true or not.

How about this?

Take it as helping me instead.

Call Director Xue

and ask him to come to the set.

It shouldn't be difficult.

The client wants to see Director Xue,

but why must they meet at my set?

Right?

Why can't they meet somewhere else?

I don't know where his attitude is coming from,

but you should coordinate with the client instead.

Is that what you think?

Fine, I'll get the client back.

I'll point him in the nose and say,

"Zhang, you're crazy".

Do you think this is appropriate?

Hurry up.

Did you two quarrel again?

My goodness.

You've been married for so long.

Why are you two so stubborn?

What problem can't be solved

together at home?

Let me tell you.

You two are considered

the exemplary couple in our community.

Everyone is watching.

Everyone thinks

you are a

perfect match.

This is what I think.

No matter what happens,

let's finish the shooting first.

Then we can solve the internal conflict

in private.

Okay?

Let me tell you clearly.

Our problem

is no longer an internal conflict.

One is internal, one is external.

My project is my project.

His project is his project.

We need to make it clear.

Understand?

Understood.

I understood clearly.

Today,

I have two good news to announce.

The first good news,

our team's KPI this month

has been reached.

It's better than the planning team and the media team.

So,

there will be a bonus

for this month.

Of course,

some members are more outstanding than others.

For example, Sheng Yang from our group.

Sheng Yang.

You must be properly praised.

Be it the usual work

or overtime and staying up late,

you have never complained or backed down.

Now, onto the second good news.

As you can see,

it's your most anticipated project,

the Mid-Autumn Festival Park Hyatt PR gift box design project.

As you all know,

this is the company's biggest order in the first half of the year.

In the past,

Liu was in charge of these projects.

But this time,

I hope Sheng Yang can be in charge.

Are you okay with that?

Of course.

Okay.

No.

Team Leader, I have a lot of...

Sheng Yang.

I know.

Time is limited

and the task is heavy.

But it's a rare opportunity.

Don't let me down.

You got this.

Dismissed.

You got this.

It's a good chance.

Liu.

I...

See you, Liu.

Check if there are any missed shots.

No, it's all done.

Okay, that's all for today. Good job, everyone.

Thank you, Director.

Director.

We support you.

We support you.

Director.

We all support you.

We all support you.

Director,

let's have dinner and drink together tonight.

I need to edit the clips.

It won't hurt to start tomorrow.

Let's drink to relieve some stress.

What stress do I have?

Go ahead.

Director, we know everything.

What do you know?

What are they supporting me for?

It's about you and Director Xue...

Who was talking about it? So busybody.

You look haggard these days.

Do I?

Yes, you do.

There are

wrinkles on your face.

Ms. Jian Bing.

I know it's inappropriate for me to say this,

but

it's from the bottom of my heart.

You must listen to me.

Go ahead.

Director Xue is 40 years old.

He has a beer belly and wrinkles on his face.

But the young ladies in their 20s

are still eagerly throwing themselves at him.

But what about you?

How many pursuers do you have?

Yes.

We look good and work well.

We have everything we want.

But our age isn't competitive anymore.

Are you done?

I'm only 36.

Why must my happiness

be tied to a man?

You can't be single forever.

Who are you earning the money for?

For myself to spend.

How much can you spend on your own?

If you don't have a husband or a child to depend on,

what will you do during festivals,

or when you're sick and need help?

According to you,

if my husband cheats on me and my child is unfilial,

I should just die.

Listen to your own argument.

Lin, were you really born after 1995?

If my mom were still alive,

she wouldn't sound as old-fashioned as you.

Did I say too much to make you angry?

No, I can tell that you did it for my own good.

These words are from the bottom of my heart.

Ms. Jian Bing.

You can get a divorce.

But I'm quite informed

about Director Xue's situation.

Look.

If you didn't leave yourself a way out,

and you don't have any backup plans,

you should

think it over.

You are so energetic.

How about

you work overtime with me?

I have to pick up my kid. I'm leaving.

Goodbye, Liu.

I’m leaving first.

Goodbye, Liu.

See you tomorrow.

Bye.

Bye.

Congratulations.

Our Mr. Invisible received

such a big project to work on.

Quit being sarcastic.

This was such a brutal move.

Did you see Liu's expression just now?

She even ignored me.

She must hate you to death.

Think about it.

You have to finish the whole proposal in three days

without delaying your existing tasks.

If you do a great job,

Liu will feel upset.

If you fail,

Wang will definitely punish you.

It's a lose-lose situation.

Wang just wants me to bow to him

and admit that I'm incompetent.

Then he will be merciful

and entrust this job to Liu.

This way,

I can give in

and Liu will think nicely of him.

Then just bow your head.

We don't have three heads and six arms,

only one pair of hands.

How can you finish so much work?

A man must know when to yield.

Well,

what if I can finish this job?

Dude.

You only have three days.

He is obviously making things difficult for you.

This is an impossible task.

Stop dawdling.

Tell me.

Will you help me or not?

Of course I will help you.

I've figured it out.

In life, we either endure or fight.

Even if you endure to the end, you have to fight.

I'll explain things

to Liu another day.

The team leader already gave me this opportunity,

if I fail,

I'll really be incompetent.

I've made up my mind.

Even if I don't sleep for three days,

I must seize

this project.

Get to work.

What work?

I'm off work.

Work overtime.

Work overtime?

Working overtime is good.

It's none of your business.

I apply to work overtime.

Senior.

Senior.

Be careful.

Pick it up.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it.

Senior.

Why don't you take a break and eat something?

Why are you still here?

Senior, you're so focused.

No wonder people say

a serious man is the most handsome.

It's already so late. Go back.

No.

It's hard for you to work alone.

Is there anything I can help you with?

No.

I can help with trivial tasks too.

Do you know how to use AI (Adobe Illustrator)?

You mean Artificial Intelligence?

What about PR (Premier Pro)?

AE (After Effect)?

InDesign?

CorelDRAW?

You don't know any of them?

You should at least know how to use Photoshop, right?

I can use Meitu Photo Editor. Does it count?

You know how to use Meitu?

Then I must sign you up for

the National Advertising Design Competition next time.

Your care porridge is pretty good.

Senior Sheng Yang has received your kind gesture.

You can leave now.

Off you go.

Stop looking and go home, okay?

See you.

You're welcome.

You're welcome!

She's finally gone?

You're making me embarrassed.

Yes, let's meet.

Okay.

Keep in touch.

Do you know what Tian Limei said?

He just unsheathed his sword,

why did you turn it off?

For the first time in years,

she rushed to call me.

Do you know what she talked to me about?

How would I know?

She said after her daughter went back,

she kept praising Sheng Yang.

She said that Sheng Yang

is handsome

and talented.

This girl has high standards.

No one is good enough in her eyes.

No one, except Sheng Yang.

Isn't that normal?

She also said her daughter

bought a lot of books on advertising.

She read them even when she was eating.

It's all because of our son's influence.

His mother taught him well.

His mother taught him well.

Of course.

She asked me to ask Sheng Yang

what he thought of her daughter.

Don't agree rashly.

It's his own business.

Let him decide.

I want to celebrate.

What does it have to do with you?

Why are you celebrating?

Do you know how much she looked down on me?

Now she called me on her own accord

and wanted to meet up with me.

Go, meet up with her.

But I don’t have any decent clothes.

I also want to go to the Western restaurant Sheng Yang went to.

I'll arrange it.

Hello.

Where are you?

I'm reviewing the clips in the company.

You're so calm.

What happened?

What do you mean?

Today,

from clients to the agency,

even the cleaning lady of our company asked me

if you were going to divorce Xue.

You didn't have to

announce it so early.

I didn't announce it.

You didn't?

No wonder

the people in the studio

were so caring towards me today.

They kept saying they'd support me.

Support me for what?

It's just a divorce.

I'm just getting divorced at an old age.

Do they think

Xue abandoned me?

Why couldn't it have been me abandoning him?

Is the value of us women

defined by the success of our marriage?

Tell me.

Tell me, Liang Shanshan.

That's not what I meant.

I know you're annoyed.

I'm not.

Divorce is not annoying at all.

What's annoying is a bunch of irrelevant people

questioning and gossiping.

Why are they so free?

Do they have nothing to do?

I'm busy.

I'm working.

Editing and shooting are my true love.

Yes, you're right.

I know you're in a bad mood.

How about this?

I'll go there and stay with you for a while.

Forget it.

You always end up

falling asleep anyway.

I'm hanging up.

Wait.

Can you stop it?

I've already started, I might as well complete the set.

Eat.

I made sure not to fully cook it.

I guarantee there will be myoglobin.

It's absolutely authentic.

It's too tough.

It's the same style as the ones served in Western restaurants.

The toughness is part of the style.

People in Western restaurants drink wine, listen to jazz,

and light candles.

How can your setup compare?

I'll arrange it.

This is the expired grape juice

taken off the shelves of the supermarket!

No.

It's not expired.

It expires the day after tomorrow.

Look, right here.

It's written here.

Take a look.

Let me summarize the client's requirements.

We need to combine Chinese traditional elements

with the current fashion trend.

The range is too big.

It can't be completely fulfilled.

We have to narrow it down.

We'll do it the old way.

You ask and I answer.

Okay.

Come on.

In terms of style,

will it be simple or fancy?

Simple.

Realistic or freehand?

Freehand.

Classic or modern?

Tell me.

Hurry up.

Classic.

Warm or cool colors?

High saturation or low saturation?

Rainbow or solid colors?

That question is way too long.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Tell me.

Cool color, low saturation, solid color.

Flora or fauna elements?

Flora.

Scene or architecture?

Architecture.

Do you like older or younger girls?

Older.

You said it yourself.

You admitted it.

Right?

Are you crazy?

Let me tell you,

in every young man's heart,

there was a goddess in their hearts.

I had one too.

No need to be shy about it.

Young man?

You?

I used to be one.

Fine.

Take a good look at the customer's needs.

Get to work.

Okay.

A toast to you.

For what?

Thank you.

for giving birth to such a good son.

You've done well.

Keep praising me.

The decision you made before

was right.

What decision?

Have you forgotten?

When Yang was in primary school,

he insisted on taking drawing lessons.

I calculated that hiring a teacher

and buying all those art materials

would cost a lot of money.

Luckily,

you insisted on supporting his decision.

Who would have thought that

Yang can

make a living out of this.

I knew I had better foresight.

Of course.

I always thought that

this kid

could only work for me.

I didn't expect that he could make a living on his own now.

I don't think you need to worry about his marriage.

He's better than me.

Everything he has today

is all thanks to his father

who pinched and saved every penny.

Look at the furniture in his room.

They were all made by you.

That's true.

Why do you have to sneak inside?

You're right.

This is our son's room.

He's not here anyway.

Look.

How nice.

It's all memories.

We've had this sofa

for so many years.

It's still so sturdy.

Of... Of course. I made it.

You're right.

It's cozy.

What is this?

Lady's perfume.

Earrings.

We have a situation.

Not an ordinary one, too.
