One thing is fair in this world.

We all have 24 hours a day.

DO YOUR BEST

CERTIFICATE OF HONOR, SHI JUNJIE

28 DAYS TO COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAM

DO YOUR BEST

Shi Junjie.

Shi Junjie.

Abandon.

I'm Shi Shuangjiao,

a senior graduating student.

Except for being strong, nothing is special about me.

Abandon.

A-B-A-N-D-O-N.

Abandon, meaning "give up."

This is my younger brother, Junjie.

The college entrance exam is in less than a month.

All he does is study this junk instead of studying for his exam.

You're still memorizing that word after two years. I'm giving up on you.

Dad, Shuangjiao is disrupting my studies.

-I think you need a good beating. -Dad!

This is my dad, Shi Yingxiong.

A sanitation worker.

He can clean the streets outside very well.

-But he always makes our kitchen so dirty. -Move. Don't bother him.

He'll be taking the exam soon.

Have some fruit.

-Dad. -Take your time to read.

Come on.

-Dad, look. He's provoking me. -Let's go.

-Come on. -Abandon.

Let me make a report.

Outdoor temperature is 21 degrees Celsius.

Indoor temperature is 25 degrees Celsius.

Humidity is 50% outdoors

and 60% indoors.

Wind level is level three.

Air pollution level.

The AQI is 50.

The concentration of fine particles is 76 micrograms per cubic meter.

The air quality is good.

A special reminder.

You have not opened the window for 243 days.

Remember to open it for ventilation.

Top X, play some music.

Yes, master.

I'm Gu Renqi.

To others,

I'm too strict about cleanliness.

It means I'm a mysophobe.

But I think a neat environment can improve the quality of life.

These aren't enough.

I founded Clean First, a fully automated cleaning company.

It has state-of-the-art technology,

which makes my home

completely dust-free.

GERM COUNT: 1,000,000

My mom died in a car accident one year ago.

When my dad is not working, he takes the role of my mom,

caring for me and my brother.

I've been going to various interviews every week.

I work four part-time jobs every day.

I just want to be independent soon and help my dad support our family.

GU RENQI, MYSOPHOBE, A CLEANING COMPANY CEO

SCANNING

Actually, we just have to spend a bit more time each day,

and we can live a germ-free life.

Using time in exchange for a clean life.

I think it's worth it.

START

Shuangjiao, time for breakfast!

Come on.

-Come on. -Dad.

What innovative dish is this?

-Eggshells have calcium. -Give it to Junjie to replenish himself.

He's still growing.

You're skipping breakfast?

No, I'll buy food on the way.

-Shuangjiao, good morning. -Good morning.

Yes.

-Buying vegetables, ma'am? -Good morning, Shuangjiao.

-You lousy chess players. -Right.

Even higher?

-You dropped your hat, sir. -Thank you.

-Okay, take care. -Thank you.

GERM COUNT: 400,000

I'm not like most people on the streets,

who waste time and money to maintain a good image.

My goal is to work hard

and earn more money

to take good care of my dad and brother.

DUST

Dongxian,

the car cleaning company still didn't clean well enough this time.

-Let's use another one. -Okay.

But accidents happen in life.

I've been racing against time all morning.

In the end,

I failed due to a few bad kids.

A clean and germ-free environment

will start the day right.

But unexpectedly, I met

the most stubborn germ that's impossible to get rid of.

I…

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry, Mr. Gu.

I'll take the car for disinfection later.

If I am the one

most girls are jealous of in this world,

he's the one guys would envy.

A 27-year-old with over 30 scientific inventions.

The Clean First company he established is worth over 100 million in the market.

He's determined to fully automate cleaning work

and redefined the meaning of cleaning.

He's our guest today, Gu Renqi.

Hello, everyone. I'm Gu Renqi.

According to the data,

Clean First's robot can even clean dust and bacteria.

Our company's robots

have over 200 different modes.

Based on the different types of flooring,

we have more than ten cleaning solutions.

Clean First has always been committed to design and development.

-We use technology to serve people… -Please come again.

-…so everyone can use it… -Please come again.

…to have clean lives.

For the longest time,

society's cleaning jobs have relied too much on manual labor.

But people have limitations.

Perhaps because one is lazy,

in a bad mood, or lacks the skills,

the quality of work would be very low.

With machines,

just give an order,

and it will surely do a quality job.

That is why Clean First

has always implemented fully automated cleaning.

During this graduation season,

what would you like to tell graduating seniors who are looking for a job?

In this society,

only the strong will survive.

I understand

the difficulties and frustrations of searching for a job.

But I also want the graduates to understand the hard work

an enterprise does to survive and grow.

And actually,

your biggest core competition is…

Time.

It's time.

Knowing how to use time most efficiently

will determine the speed of their growth and future prospects.

Very well said.

I hope I passed my Clean First interview last week.

Your speech was spectacular.

WANG QIANQIAN

You look good on camera too.

Thank you.

Our company would like to do a series of exclusive interviews with you.

I really don't like interviews.

It's because our families are close.

My mom specifically told me to work with you.

GROOMED EYEBROWS

NO DIRT ON LIPS

SHINY HAIR

CLEAN NAILS

Thanks so much to your mom, then.

DOG HAIR

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I forgot about an urgent matter I must attend to. I have to go.

I wrote down a few questions.

Can we communicate on WeChat?

Mr. Gu never adds people on WeChat. You can call me if you need anything.

I'm sorry. Please go ahead.

Mr. Gu!

It really is you, Mr. Gu.

I saw your show on television earlier.

You recommended your company.

You look so much younger in person.

Thank you.

Well, Mr. Gu,

I'm Shi Shuangjiao.

I just graduated from college this year.

I had an interview at your company last week.

Exchanging time for money is how I live my life.

Working hard is my motto.

I think I'm very suitable for Clean First.

Because all I have is time.

Yes, but I'm sorry. I don't have time.

Mr. Gu, I think we share similar values.

You definitely need an employee like me.

Your name tag isn't straight.

Your apron has a stain, you have stray hair by your ears,

and you're talking to strangers during working hours.

Are these the values that we share?

I've only been here for a month.

I'm still inexperienced.

You've only been here for a month, but you want a new job?

You're such a weak-minded and flighty graduate.

No company will want to hire you.

Forget about dog fur, a waitress even wanted to sneeze at me.

How many germs does a sneeze have?

My goodness.

Top X, if you saw her,

you would surely go to her face.

But, Mr. Gu,

Madam Gu arranged this.

So I think we should--

Gu Renqi.

Mom, how can you get in no matter what password I change to?

I still have the key.

Renqi, during the blind date, why did you leave without saying goodbye?

Why did you embarrass her that way?

Qianqian is a public figure.

I didn't agree to go on a blind date.

What is it this time?

It's because of dog fur.

Dog fur?

What's wrong with dog fur?

This only proves

that Qianqian likes animals,

and she's a sweet girl.

What's the difference between dog fur and hair?

Why don't you shave your head?

Call Qianqian tomorrow,

apologize to her,

then meet her again.

I can't tomorrow. I'm not free.

Right, Dongxian?

I'm not free tomorrow.

You're busy every day.

Can't you spare some time?

This concerns your marriage.

Do you two want to be together forever?

That's not a bad idea.

Mom.

Why did you leave the door open? You'll get dust inside.

Dongxian.

Don't always indulge him, okay?

Sometimes, you must pull tricks and be firm.

Where's Top X?

I think Top X is gone.

Top X?

Is a robot vacuum cleaner that important?

Dongxian, give my mom a ride home.

-I'm going to find Top X. -Okay.

He didn't specify which unit on the 25th floor.

He's not answering his phone either.

Sir, please don't file a complaint about me.

I'm just a part-timer. I don't make much.

If you do, I'll lose half of my pay.

Sir.

Sir?

What is this?

It's quite heavy.

Why has such a high-class item been thrown away here?

What a waste.

Top X.

You're the one on the 25th floor, right?

Why aren't you answering the phone?

Mr. Gu?

You are…

I'm…

TAKEOUT COURIER

The trainee.

Yes. Your delivery.

GERM COUNT: 26,878

Bacteria.

-Mr. Gu! -Bacteria.

Are you okay?

I'm doomed.

GERM COUNT: 526,878

I'm sorry. I really want to help you up.

But…

Wait a minute.

This is for your medical bills. If you don't feel well,

remember to see a doctor.

The money was sanitized. It's clean.

I'll leave it here.

I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry.

Hey.

What's your problem?

Why are you giving me money?

I have such bad luck.

He looks good on television. Why is he so strange in person?

Hello, I'm your takeout courier.

I'm sorry.

I spilled the food while I was delivering it.

I've already asked them to make you a new one.

You'll also get a new takeout courier.

I'm really sorry for delaying your meal.

I'm sorry.

FARE: 2 YUAN, WITH AIRCOND: ADD 1 YUAN

-Let's go, miss. -Miss, do you want a ride?

-There's no bus anymore. -I'll take you.

-I'll give you a lift. -It's cheap.

I'll drop you off on the way.

-I'll give you a discount. -It's late.

There are no more buses.

Let's go, miss.

-Hop on. -Taxis are so expensive these days.

Taxis are too expensive.

Come on.

Are you coming?

She's not coming.

-Forget it. -Forget it.

-I'm going home if I don't get customers. -Let's go somewhere else tomorrow.

Hello.

What's your price?

How much is the ride?

I'm not cheap. How much do you think I'm worth?

You're asking me?

The cheaper the better, of course.

You're new to this, right? Why don't you know the price?

In that case, perhaps I'm not in this industry yet.

Not a bad ride for someone who's not in the business.

It's not bad indeed.

So how much do you intend to pay?

Five yuan to Renmin East Road, okay?

Five yuan?

Will you take me or not?

Hop on.

Let's go.

Your motorcycle is quite different from others.

Will you pay more, then?

Of course not.

We agreed on five yuan.

They were even willing to take four yuan.

All right, five yuan it is.

It's along the way. No loss for me.

WORK HARD

-It's you. -What a coincidence.

We meet again.

Why are you following me?

It's dark. I'm afraid you won't be able to see well.

Don't misunderstand. I'm--

Hey!

Hey!

Don't come near me.

What do you want?

-Any closer and I'll call the police. -Let me explain.

-I'm not following you. I also-- -What are you taking out? Stop!

You pervert!

-What are you talking about? -Don't!

-Hey! -You pervert!

-You pervert! -Let me explain. Hey!

-Shuangjiao! Stop it! -Don't run away!

Stop!

You…

-Stop! -Don't misunderstand.

Shuangjiao!

Don't run away!

Dad!

-Mr. Shi. -Are you okay?

This feels good.

-Mr. Shi, are you feeling better? -Much better.

Shuangjiao.

Lu Xian just returned from overseas. A young and handsome talent.

He's our new neighbor.

You just met him, and you know that he's a handsome talent?

He already said hi when he was moving in.

You weren't here.

Lu Xian and I really hit it off.

LU XIAN, NEW NEIGHBOR, SEEMS TO BE UNEMPLOYED

Hello.

You get along so well with a stranger.

What is your motive?

I have no motives.

I moved here in the morning and ran into Mr. Shi.

I came home at night and ran into his daughter.

It's fate.

Yes, and you even let me pay you.

Give me my money back.

Sure.

Here.

Mr. Shi, does your forehead still hurt?

Should I get you some medicine?

There's no need.

What a crawler.

-Why are you so rude? -It's okay.

You should be like Lu Xian.

Look how thoughtful he is.

Let me give you a massage.

Don't forget to take those supplements I gave you this morning.

Supplements?

What supplements?

Are you one of those scammers who sells jade mattresses?

What exactly do you do?

I'm a problem solver.

Don't think about scamming our family.

She's…

She's so immature.

My goodness.

REACHING FIRST BAR STREET IN 200M

GERM COUNT: 4,526,870

What happened there?

-I don't know. -What's going on?

-Look. -I think I heard a scream.

-Was there an accident? -He hit a garbage cart.

-Are you okay? -That was rough.

-I saw… -I think I saw that garbage cart rush out.

Something happened.

-Yes. -He ran into…

-He hit a garbage cart. -He's even wearing a rat's head.

-Isn't this a scam? Isn't… -Why is he wearing a rat's head?

-Is he okay? -He hit the car himself.

This doesn't seem like a big problem.

-He's still picking things up. -Yes.

-He didn't see him? -What happened here?

Sir, are you okay?

Well…

Are you hurt?

-Well… -Who is he?

-Hi, sir. -He…

-Did he do it on purpose? -He's wearing a rat's head.

Did you record it?

I did.

-What's going on? -What happened?

Let's settle this matter.

Look how he's avoiding him.

Something's definitely up.

Okay.

I'll call the traffic police.

What are you doing?

-A girl? -It's a girl?

It's her again?

Why can't she do something else?

Shi Shuangjiao?

Don't block me. I…

Let me see. I can't see.

What is she doing?

-They kissed. -Is this a show?

Take a photo.

Help her up.

-No wonder she wore a rat's head. -Why don't you help her?

I didn't push her. You…

-She fell? -Who knows if this is another scam?

-I don't think so. -I don't think it's a scam.

He wouldn't do that with a garbage cart.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Are you happy now?

Yes, I can't sleep.

That's my number.

I'll pay for the damage to the car.

Hey.

Hey, are you okay?

Shuangjiao.

My goodness.

Everyone wants to be a girl with a comfortable life,

who wears pretty clothes in front of people.

But I must work to survive.

I must work hard

to make my family happy.

I don't want people to see me looking so haggard

and messy.

He has gone too far.

No.

I can't give it to him.

OWNER OF THE LOST ITEM

Shuangjiao, why are you home so late?

-What's the matter? -Are you hungry?

I'll cook you instant noodles. I'm hungry anyway.

I'm not hungry. You can go ahead.

From now on, forget rock-paper-scissors.

I'll fill in for Dad's work.

What do you think?

Am I not a mature younger brother?

Study hard.

I'm at our meeting place, but I don't see you.

The reward is negotiable.

Top X is very important to me.

My sister is very important to me too.

So what if you're rich?

My goodness.

ADD NUMBER TO BLOCKED LIST

Mr. Gu, the car has been sterilized.

This is the security footage screenshot provided on the night Top X was lost.

GERM COUNT: 1,078,048

The rat!

It's her again?

We met so many times in one day.

Maybe she was approaching me on purpose?

I'm telling you.

I'm a gangster, you know.

Mr. Gu.

I'm going to be your employee soon.

Please forgive me.

Shi Shuangjiao.

You're so unlucky.

Why could you only get hired at Mr. Arrogant's company?

Your good days are over.

Sir.

We're all civilized people.

Don't hit me.

RECEIPT

TOTAL: 5,000 YUAN

One, ten, hundred, thousand.

Five thousand?

The company used the official glass cleaner,

changed the wipers,

and sterilized the whole car.

It still wouldn't cost 5,000 yuan.

-You-- -It's a legitimate company.

There's a breakdown.

I made a mistake.

But I'm not stupid.

Let's get a professional to assess it, then.

Where's Top X?

Mr. Gu, I didn't know you were in the car.

Top X.

What?
