Original subtitles

Bottoms up.

-Don't drink it. -Bottoms up.

-Don't drink too much. -Don't drink so much.

Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't drink much tonight?

-What are you doing here? -What are you doing here?

Who's this?

That's enough.

Have a seat.

My goodness.

Zhu Yan. Who's this?

Hello. I'm Zhu Yan's boyfriend.

Boyfriend?

-Welcome. -Welcome.

Zhu Yan.

You have such a handsome boyfriend.

-Introduce him to us. -Right.

-Yes. -Exactly.

No wonder you ignored Shuo, who has been chasing you all these years.

-You have a handsome young man. -That's enough.

How did you get such a handsome young man?

I went after Zhu Yan.

I fell for her the first time I saw her.

I was resolved to win her over.

-That's so romantic. -That's so romantic.

Exactly.

Handsome and sweet. I'm so envious.

Ms. Lin, when are you going to introduce me to a guy?

I'm still single.

You're still holding hands?

Tell me.

When did you two get together?

I just came to help Zhu Yan.

She has always treated me like a little brother.

How could we be together?

-Right. -Right?

But I think it seemed real back there.

Who says so?

No, right?

Gosh. Don't overthink it.

My ideal type is a mature guy.

I don't like younger guys.

So we're really just like siblings.

Why are you two speaking strangely today?

Shuangjiao, I have to go.

-Goodbye. -Stay safe.

Bye.

That brat.

He's usually a mess at home.

But today, he was quite like a gentleman.

I told you not to think too much.

As for you,

your face shows that you're in love.

You can tell?

Of course. How could you hide it from me?

Do you want a ride home?

There's no need.

I don't want to be a third wheel.

A third wheel? Let's leave together.

Don't worry. Go with him.

Text me when you get home.

-Bye. -Get in.

Silly girl.

Bye.

I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang.

I just finished a meeting. I rushed here, but I'm late again.

Spread the news.

The more noise the better.

LI DONGXIAN PERSONAL INFORMATION

Isn't this guy who's with Wang Qianqian

from Gu Renqi's company?

The point is that he has a criminal record.

This is big news.

If this really gets out,

Wang Qianqian might even lose her job.

Are you worried about yourself

or her?

No.

Just do this and don't worry about it.

If something happens,

I'll handle it for you.

You said you work your ass off for this job.

Did Wang Qianqian even notice you?

Does she care about you?

Only if she is taken down

will you get a chance.

Do you understand?

Mr. Jiang.

I've got it. Please wait for my good news.

Have you heard?

Dongxian and Qianqian are together.

Seriously?

I don't know. I just read about it.

My goodness.

-That's interesting. -My goodness.

-I didn't expect this. -Yes, me either.

Look.

-Do you think it's possible? -I don't know.

What century are we in now?

What's not possible?

I'm surprised.

I never thought they would end up together.

I think they're a good match though.

-A good-looking couple. -That's true.

Doesn't he have a criminal record?

Right.

-Now-- -She's out of his league.

Who can tell?

-I'm shocked. -They love each other.

Yes.

What's wrong? Where are you going?

I'm going to see Jiang Wenchi.

When you see him, what will you do?

Beat him up?

This must be Jiang Wenchi's doing.

I don't care,

but Qianqian is a public figure.

It would be a huge blow to her.

You don't have proof. After meeting him, what can you do?

Will he admit it?

Let me handle it.

I'll take care of it, okay?

Calm down.

Get back to work.

It's going to be fine.

Please help me find out

where the news came from.

What should I say about you?

Do you know how much this news will affect our company?

I'm sorry.

I didn't know that my personal life would affect the company.

Personal life?

You're a celebrity.

What you say and do doesn't only represent yourself.

Release a statement now.

Clear up your relationship with him.

What are you looking at?

You don't want to?

Are you serious about him?

You should know very well

what's at stake here.

You're on the rise.

Do you know how many people are after your position

and want to replace you?

You're doing this because of him?

I know.

When youngsters are in love, you don't care about anything.

If this goes on,

I'll have to cancel all of your shows.

You know our company policy.

If your contract gets terminated,

I can't protect you either.

Mr. Kang.

It's my fault for bringing bad publicity to the company.

I know what I'm about to face but don't want to explain myself to everyone.

It's because I don't think my relationship is wrong.

We've all been reckless, and we've all made mistakes.

I don't think people should think poorly of him.

You're being silly!

Someone like him shouldn't date a public figure!

Why are you so naive?

If he really likes you, he must know

that he's ruining you now!

Mr. Kang.

I know you mean well,

but I've made up my mind.

I'm sorry.

I've disappointed you.

You--

WANG QIANQIAN'S BOYFRIEND HAS A CRIMINAL RECORD!

I can't pick you up today.

I'm sorry, the number you have dialed

can't be reached at the moment.

LI DONGXIAN

Mr. Gu, I sent you an email regarding the news source.

All right.

Mr. Jin, what's the matter?

Mr. Gu.

The three-kids family project was very well received.

The Manual Cleaning Department has lots of orders too.

Yes.

The Manual Cleaning Department has been doing well lately.

The athlete's case was handled well too.

I originally thought

that smart cleaning was Clean First's hope and future.

I was too rash.

Technology is so advanced nowadays.

Manual cleaning indeed sounds a bit outdated.

Sometimes, I wonder if protecting this department

is a pointless exercise.

Mr. Jin, don't say that.

It's all thanks to your persistence.

The humanity in manual cleaning and precision of AI

are both indispensable.

There are no conflicts, and they complement each other.

Hearing you say that

makes me so happy.

Orders have increased for the Manual Cleaning Department.

I can't handle it on my own.

So I wanted to talk to you about having an assistant team leader

to share the workload.

Regarding this matter,

it's up to you.

However, I need permission from you for my preferred candidate.

I want Shuangjiao to be the assistant team leader.

Regarding this matter, have you thought it through?

Shuangjiao is very young,

but she's very energetic.

She also adheres firmly to the company's philosophy.

She has contributed to the company with the three-kids family project.

Most importantly,

she has many creative ideas.

Don't hesitate because of your relationship.

The key is that I think Shuangjiao has great potential.

Mr. Jin.

I trust your decision.

Do as you wish,

but I still require high standards and make strict demands.

Mr. Gu.

You don't need to worry.

I'll get going.

Let's eat together after work.

I'm busy after work.

I'll wait for you at home.

I haven't visited you for a while.

HERE LIES MY BELOVED MOTHER HAO BAIHE

Did you know

Shuangjiao has fallen in love recently?

The person she loves

is one of my clients.

I should be very happy,

but I can't be.

Actually, I came back to repay the favor.

But I don't know

if I should continue to stay and protect her now.

Repay the favor?

How did you know my mom?

Do you remember Vegetable Bun?

Are you scared now?

What are you doing?

-Let's go. -Someone's coming.

-Wait for me. -No fighting, okay?

Come on, get up.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Does it hurt?

Have some ice cream. It won't hurt after you eat ice cream.

You'll be in a good mood.

This is my favorite.

You can have it.

Eat it.

You're Vegetable Bun?

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Sometime after that,

you suddenly disappeared.

I was even mad at you for a long time.

That was when my dad suddenly had to go abroad.

Everything was rushed.

What I regret the most

is not getting to say goodbye

to you and your mom.

No wonder.

However,

if my mom knew,

I think she would understand.

When I came back,

it took so long for me to find you guys.

But then I found out

that your mom had already died.

I was worried about you,

so I moved in next door.

So your sudden appearance in our lives

was not an accident.

I thought it was magically fated.

Are you happy to see me again?

You're loud,

but you're a good person.

If my mom knew that you're so talented now,

she would be happy too.

If I'm so talented,

why don't you like me?

Stop joking around.

Forget it.

As long as I have a quick change of heart,

heartbreaks can't keep up with me.

Thank you, Lu Xian.

To be honest,

I still don't know what it means to be in a relationship.

I just feel like

every time Gu Renqi is in pain, discomfort,

or despair,

I feel so bad for him.

I want to be by his side,

be there for him, take care of him,

and make him happy.

Don't force yourself.

If you can't handle it anymore,

Vegetable Bun is here.

-How is the report going? -My head hurts.

-Really? -Yes.

Hello.

Let's talk.

I have nothing to say to you.

What did Jiang Wenchi offer you?

Who's Jiang Wenchi? I don't know him.

If there's nothing else,

I'm going back to work.

Is it worth it?

If your superiors find out that you've been spreading rumors,

do you think you will keep your job?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

What do you think your biggest value to Jiang Wenchi is?

Lots of people are willing to work for him. Why must it be you?

He thinks you're connected.

But if you get fired,

to him,

you'll be useless.

Let's talk.

Actually, you have better options.

You asked me to come just to give me this?

I knew you would like it, so I bought it.

I love it.

Where have you been?

What took you so long?

I went to visit my mom's grave.

-Then I met Lu Xian, so we chatted. -Lu Xian?

Why was he there?

It turns out that I used to know him.

My mom helped him when he was bullied as a kid.

I see.

My mom must be watching over me.

That's why I'm lucky and met so many good people.

Like who?

Like you.

I think meeting you is a lucky thing that my mom arranged.

I'm sure she'll give us both more luck.

QIANQIAN

QIANQIAN 25 MISSED CALLS

You're on the rise.

Do you know how many people are after your position

and want to replace you?

You're doing this because of him?

If your contract gets terminated,

I can't protect you either.

Li Dongxian, open the door.

Li Dongxian, I know you're inside.

Don't care about what people say online.

They don't know you.

What they think isn't important.

No matter what happens, I know that you're good.

Isn't that enough?

Do you hear me?

Open the door.

Open the door, please.

I know what you're thinking.

Even if everyone doesn't wish us well,

it's okay.

I'll just stop being a host.

Then no one will care if we date or not.

Do you hear me? Open the door.

You're so loud. Stop knocking! Can't you see that no one is there?

I'm sorry for waking you up.

-You're crazy. -I'm sorry.

Why are you suddenly asking me to buy you a meal?

What's the matter? Can't you buy me a meal?

Okay.

I'll choose the place.

Sure.

What's your plan for the future?

What do you mean?

What are you thinking about?

I'm talking about work.

You can't be a sanitation worker forever.

Of course not.

I should at least be a team leader or something.

Then…

Then…

Then I'll take over the company and support you financially.

You're that ambitious?

Here we are. This is my first step in supporting you financially.

Come on.

RULER HOT POT

It's your first time having hot pot, right?

You must wear an apron when you eat hot pot,

or the oil will get on your clothes.

I'll help you.

All right.

Be careful.

This is the most famous butter hot pot in the city.

Try it.

Hot pot is addictive.

-Where are you going? -I'm getting the sauce.

Do you want me to make you one?

There's no need. I can do it.

A spoonful of sesame.

A spoonful of celery.

Sesame.

Add some more.

Chili.

If you can't eat spicy food, don't add so much chili.

It's not a big deal.

Let's eat.

Put in the meat.

I'll cook some tripe for you.

On a serious note,

career planning is really important.

Also, it's not easy being a team leader.

Other than being capable at your job, you must be good at managing too.

Now, you're…

Hold on.

Is it too spicy?

You're sweating.

No, I just feel hot.

Where was I?

-Capability. -Yes.

You're still young.

Hold high expectations for yourself.

Take a sip.

Let's not talk about work while we're eating.

Why don't you stop talking and eat?

Is the air conditioner turned off?

I even have sweat in my eyes.

I'll get you some milk.

There's no need.

Don't force yourself. Milk works best with spicy food.

I know a way.

It's better than milk.

What is it?

It's quite effective.

-Can you still eat? -Yes.

I'll eat and kiss you after that.

-Okay. -Come on.

For today's meeting,

we have a few announcements.

As you may have already noticed,

we have new employees in the new Manual Cleaning Department.

Let's welcome them.

I hope the old employees

can help our new colleagues adapt and become familiar with the company soon.

As this new department is expanding,

after discussing with Mr. Gu,

we've decided to appoint

an assistant team leader.

Assistant team leader?

-Ms. Zhao? -It's definitely you.

Ms. Zhao.

It should be…

Shi Shuangjiao.

Yes, stop looking.

It's you.

-Me? -Shuangjiao?

Why her?

Everyone is aware of Shuangjiao's performance, right?

She's responsible and works hard.

She delivers.

Most importantly,

our department's principles

are also Shuangjiao's suggestions.

So I think

she's most suitable to be the assistant team leader.

-How can she… -She's so young.

-Assistant team leader? Her? -Can that be right?

-Is that so? Well… -She's so young.

Does she have connections?

Right, Ms. Zhao.

Don't get mad.

You really scared me just now.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Who was so confident about being a team leader yesterday

and wants to take over my company?

Why are you freaking out over this?

-I… -How will you support me financially?

I was just kidding, but you took it seriously.

Well, why did you promote me?

It was Mr. Jin.

Mr. Jin?

So you must work hard.

Don't let Mr. Jin down.

Don't worry, I won't let him down.

You just won't let Mr. Jin down?

What about me?

Okay.

It's not a problem.

I'll pay

for your meals from now on.

Okay.

I'll make her sit next to me later,

and you both can come over.

-You'll give her the flowers. -Okay.

You'll play the violin.

Got it?

-All right. -All right.

Hello?

Junjie.

I don't think I can come today.

Shuangjiao is meeting me for dinner.

No. How can you choose a friend over me?

We arranged to meet first.

She said she has something important to tell me.

Can't you reschedule with her?

But I've already agreed.

I don't care. If you don't come, I'll stay here until tomorrow morning.

Hello?

-Shuangjiao. -Yanyan, wait for me.

I'll be there soon.

No.

The thing is…

What? Are you working late?

Not really.

-I… -Okay, I'll see you later.

JIAOJIAO

I think it's quite good.

Junjie.

Why are there only two seats?

Sit here.

Okay.

Well…

What's this?

What…

What are you doing?

Did you know I was promoted?

Yes.

This is our special surprise for you.

A surprise?

What?

My sister got promoted.

Of course we must celebrate.

You shouldn't have.

We're family.

You brat.

You're all grown up.

You know how to plan a surprise for me.

Look at Junjie. There is a violin and flowers.

He's all grown up.

Excuse me, I have to take a call.

Okay, that's enough.

Thank you.

When they made the announcement today…

-My sister's here. What should I do? -…I was so flustered.

-Enjoy. -Put it here.

Let's put this here.

I'm hungry.

Which one should I eat first?

Forget it.

I'll think of something.

He must have spent a lot of money today.

Where did he get the money?

I'll tell Dad when I get home. I'll brag to him about it.

Let's eat.

The pasta is really good.

It looks so appetizing.

I don't care. I'll start eating.

This looks good.

This shrimp is good.

It's delicious.

Junjie.

Come and sit here.

That's too much trouble. All places are the same, right?

I have something to tell you.

Shuangjiao, how old are you? You're still doing this?

-Are you okay? -It's okay.

Shi Junjie.

Are you hiding something from me?

I…

Me?

Zhu Yan.

What about you?

I don't think so.

This flower isn't for me, right?

-How can that be? -You can tell?

Shuangjiao.

We didn't mean to hide it from you.

We really didn't mean to keep it from you.

You were the nicest to me.

Okay.

I finally received a flower from Junjie.

I can't believe it's not for me.

All right. I'll give it to its rightful owner.

You're the best.

Shi Junjie.

If you dare to treat Zhu Yan badly, I might…

-That's enough. -I'll skin you alive.

Shuangjiao.

I'm your brother, okay?

That's enough.

-This guy is so funny. -He's hilarious.

-An influencer who's trended many times. -He's interesting.

He's popular.

Ms. Zhao.

I need to talk to you about something.

-Okay, we'll let you chat. -Okay.

Don't we have an order

that you're handling?

I don't see any progress, so I wanted to check with you.

That order?

Back then, I was having problems with my legs and feet,

so I let Mr. Li handle it.

He didn't do it?

No. We don't allow changes of assignments within the team.

This way, the information won't be consistent.

There will be a mistake in the system too. Clients will think we're unprofessional.

That's how we did it in the old Manual Cleaning Department.

Who hasn't had emergencies?

Besides, we're old and forgetful.

We can't remember so many rules.

All right, I'll ask Mr. Li.

Ms. Shi, you arranged this yourself.

Why are you asking me?

Yes.

I just wanted to understand the situation.

I'm here to provide technical support,

not to clean up other people's messes.

The company doesn't allow changes of assignments.

This isn't my job, to begin with.

Why should I do it?

Ms. Shi, you can't even control your own staff,

yet you're blaming me.

You're still here?

Why do you look so down?

I have some work left to do.

Why don't you go home first?

CORPORATE MANAGEMENT INFORMATION

Why are you doing these things?

You're the assistant team leader now. You should delegate these things.

Don't do everything yourself.

Yes, I know,

but I don't know how to manage them.

-Is someone giving you a hard time? -No.

Don't blame them.

You've just become the boss,

and you're already protecting your subordinates?

Everyone has to learn from scratch.

You're surrounded by good role models.

You can learn from them.

For example?

Like…

Like Hu You, Wu Yu,

Mr. Jin, Dongxian,

and…

me.

Please teach me

how I can convince people, then.

It's not working hours now.

Your boyfriend doesn't want to work overtime.

Buy me food

and I'll tell you.

Okay.

-What will we eat? -Let's leave the office before we decide.

-Is this all you're buying me? -What's the matter? It's good.

Just try it.

It's actually pretty good.

Well, you can say that now, right?

It's quite simple. Use both kindness and strictness.

Older employees think you're easy to control since you're young.

They want you to listen to them, but what they want is actually respect.

Here's what you can do.

Tomorrow, find something and sincerely ask Ms. Zhao to teach you.

Let her feel how much you respect her.

See if it's easier to move forward.

-Right, they say-- -Ms. Zhao.

I have something to ask you.

Is this a good time?

How can it not be?

You're the assistant team leader. I'm just a team member.

Ms. Zhao, I'll leave you to it. I'll get going.

Please don't say that.

I'm young and inexperienced. I can't decide about many things.

Isn't the Manual Cleaning Department still here

because of long-term employees like you?

Besides, we have so many new hires.

We surely need someone experienced like you to teach them.

All right.

Tell me, what is it about?

Actually, it's like this.

We got an order the other day.

The female owner has already decided on a cleaning solution.

But her mother-in-law has other ideas.

We're stuck in the middle. Well…

We can't offend the daughter-in-law and the mother-in-law.

I don't know what to do.

You're right to ask me about this.

How can youngsters know how to handle problems between in-laws?

Think about it. Why does the mother-in-law insist on her own way?

On one hand, she thinks she's right.

On the other hand, if she accepts the daughter-in-law's proposal,

she'll be embarrassed.

She needs authority at home.

In such a case as this, please her,

respect her,

then reason with her.

That way, she won't be stubborn.

You're so experienced.

Well, I'm sorry about yesterday.

I really didn't mean it.

Look, I'm a straight arrow.

When I get mad, I become stubborn.

-I didn't mean to go against you. -It's okay.

Your idea was effective.

Ms. Zhao agreed to handle the orders.

In that case, shouldn't you show your appreciation?
