Boss.

The negative public opinion about Pinshang has been dealt with.

With the support from the Welfare Center,

our reputation will soon turn around.

Ms. Yao.

Focus on speaking up for the designer in public opinion.

Understood.

Mr. Lu.

There have been many suppliers

actively contacting us,

wishing to participate in the Welfare Center's reconstruction project.

They're offering terms close to the cost price.

Especially Mr. Liu,

he's practically begging for an appointment with you.

They must have heard about the news

that Ms. Hua is willing to provide building materials for free.

She's doing it to cover up the shame,

but if those building material vendors are willing to cooperate,

we can sign a long-term

cooperation agreement.

No need for the cost price,

just use a reasonable one.

As for Mr. Liu,

he needs to make Bu Ran forgive him

before Pinshang gives him a chance.

I see.

Notify Bu Ran to come to work tomorrow.

Any colleague who has slandered her

must sincerely apologize to her.

Understood.

Go back to work.

Mr. Lu actually asked me to apologize to Bu Ran.

Ms. Yao, I really envy you.

You seem to have a close relationship with Mr. Lu.

I've been with Mr. Lu since I started working.

With special responsibilities,

he takes care of me more.

But he doesn't see me as a woman.

Too bad others don't think the same way.

Others?

You're not referring to Mr. Lu's sister, are you?

Have you also heard about the rumors of Mr. Lu as a son-in-law?

Once I mentioned it, you knew who I was talking about.

To be honest with you,

I'm just very curious

about what Mr. Lu's sister looks like.

Is she particularly beautiful?

Otherwise, why could Mr. Lu

protect her so well?

Her looks?

Not bad.

Siqi has been praying for Mr. Lu in Tibet for many years.

Doesn't that deserve Mr. Lu's kindness?

Ms. Yao.

If you get a chance,

you must take me to meet Siqi.

You know what I mean.

Women are very gossipy.

She's been learning to paint Thangkas in Lhasa recently.

Let's wait for her to come back.

Okay.

Ms. Yao.

This is a local express delivery for Mr. Lu.

Give it to me.

I'll deliver it to Mr. Lu.

Okay.

Thanks for the coffee.

Lu Siqi?

When Zihe got the blueprint,

he clearly told me he had bought off a reliable person.

Why is it again about playing with a woman's feelings?

Wasn't it enough to be burned once by this trick?

Why repeat the same mistake?

My face could lose

its wrinkles because of embarrassment.

Mom, don't be angry.

Zihe clearly gave that woman money.

Who would know

that woman is not decent at all?

If they were decent,

we would lose face even more.

At every step, we are countered by Lu Cenyang.

He's been preparing for seven years.

He knows himself well, and us better.

He's completely

figured out our way of thinking.

Grandma.

Dad and Mom have people watching Lu Cenyang.

Sooner or later, they'll get something.

Is Lu Cenyang really that watertight?

Or are the people you sent as foolish as you?

Mom, have some ginseng tea.

Mom.

My people did not come back empty-handed.

It's just that they end up photographing Bu Ran every time.

Don't pin everything on Bu Ran.

She's insignificant.

We need to find Lu Mingyu's daughter, Lu Siqi

to effectively take control of Lu Cenyang.

Where is Lu Cenyang

hiding her sister?

It's as if she has vanished.

You have a call.

Hello?

Speak.

Got it.

Well done.

My informant found out that Lu Siqi is in Tibet.

Zihe.

You know how to captivate a woman's heart.

You should go.

Mom, Zihe is prone to altitude sickness.

I'll send some capable subordinates instead.

In that case,

should Yihua be handed over to your subordinates instead?

Zihe.

Prepare well for a few days.

Find Lu Siqi before she leaves Tibet.

My dear son, hurry up and drink the ginseng tea.

I want some. Please.

Take it, take it.

What's up?

Colleagues are apologizing to me.

Did you make them?

You don't need to thank me.

It's a boss's duty to protect his employees.

Even if it's just a janitor,

I will defend just the same.

Someone is getting arrogant after just one stroke of luck,

trying to start a new persona

as a conscientious boss.

I didn't win by luck.

My feigned weakness was to lure the opponent into the trap.

Anyway, you won.

You can brag about it.

I'm not bragging.

I had calculated it from the start

that Yihua would use building materials to jeopardize me.

The more they want to corner me,

the crazier they will get.

No matter where I try to get the building materials,

they would all preemptively cut it off.

If it goes on,

Yihua's finances would surely be strained.

If Ms. Hua wants to stay safe,

she would certainly use her building materials

to work with me.

Did Yihua really win?

Back at the Welfare Center,

you knew everything but deliberately scared me.

Is it funny to tease me like this?

I didn't expect you to take it seriously.

Have some tea to clear your mind.

When you drink tea, don't just drink tea.

You've got to speak what's on your mind.

♪This very second's pause is just right♪

♪We've all passed by this street corner♪

♪Who knows for how long the flower petals drift♪

♪This thrill will last for several more seconds♪

(Bu Ran)

(She's not really angry, is she?)

♪I hope you don't easily reject my invitation♪

(Why do I keep thinking about her?)

♪Besides you, I need nothing♪

♪I really want to take you to the castle♪

Look at this handsome face with sharp features.

And his robust pectoral muscles.

♪Let the castle be surrounded by love♪

Wish you recover soon.

Same here.

(I patted Bu Ran)

(Crap, I need an excuse.)

Hello?

Please send red beans, jujubes

and honey

to Block B of Fortune Pavilion.

Why did he pat me?

And he didn't apologize.

Your takeaway.

I didn't order any. Did you get the wrong address?

Nope, it's your apartment number.

(Make it now and deliver it first thing in the morning.)

(If it's tasty, it can count towards the rent.)

(If not, you don't need to follow up)

(on the orphanage renovation.)

What's that all about?

(Eccentric Behavior Studies)

This book suits you well.

Round head.

I'll draw another one for you.

Flying slipper.

A word is a bond. It can reduce the rent, right?

You've become a regular employee.

With the project bonus and salary,

you should be quite well off after paying the rent.

Don't be so stingy.

I've been simmering it all night.

I barely slept.

Alright, I'll deduct it as if it were takeout, okay?

Don't just simmer the porridge for me.

Include your portion as well.

We'll visit the construction site more often now.

We need to ensure our health.

Have you decided?

You want me to follow up on the orphanage project?

This porridge...

I will simmer and stew it every day

until you are full of life and vigor.

Then I'll make a different porridge.

I was right to transfer you to the Marketing Dept.

Look how quickly you've improved.

You are right.

Boss, you've read this book too?

I've seen many bloggers recommend this book.

But none of them bought it to read like you did, Boss.

Boss, you truly keep up with the times and have a thirst for knowledge.

I just flip through it

when I can't sleep.

May I take a look?

You can't read this book.

This is what you should be focusing on.

This is the project book for the renovation.

You need to know it by heart.

You have to be fully prepared for different materials,

renovation requirements,

and whom to coordinate with, including unpredictable

factors like the weather.

No room for error.

I will certainly not disappoint the company.

This Welfare Center project

has been through twists and turns during preparation.

I wasn't joking about what I said.

A project requires

not only individual expertise,

but even more so, collaboration.

Do you understand?

I do.

I will certainly make progress.

You'd better do as you say.

Otherwise, don't come to the Welfare Center's

groundbreaking ceremony.

Got it, I'm off to work now.

Wait a minute.

Put less honey in this porridge in the future.

It's too sweet.

That's how I like it.

Where are the design drawings by Yang?

Don't worry.

Bu Ran should be able to fix it.

It seems quite tricky.

How is it?

It's already fixed.

Bu Ran is so impressive.

Yang owes you a big one.

The software tends to lag after the update.

After the rendering,

just output it into several files.

Impressive, Bu Ran.

Thank you.

I didn't expect your computer skills

to be as good

as your design.

When I was abroad,

the computers and systems were all very old

and would often malfunction.

Frequent repairs made me experienced.

So feel free to ask me for help with anything in the future.

- Okay. - Okay.

Did you need anything from the Design Dept.?

Mr. Lu wants me to follow up

on the Welfare Center project.

Everyone should add Bu Ran's WeChat.

About the Welfare Center project,

you can ask anyone if you need help.

We all have some experience with projects

and can share it with you.

Thank you, team leader. Thank you, everyone.

Thank you.

I appreciate how quickly you adapt,

but I must remind you not to meddle in others' affairs.

I understand, Ms. Yao.

You even bought her a cervical spray.

She's made you a pariah at Pinshang.

It's not that bad.

At least,

Lu Cenyang still trusts me.

He trusts you,

yet he watched you be wronged in the company.

Forget about him.

Let me fulfill my promise.

(Note Details)

Don't get emotional.

It's because I can't draw design schematics at the company,

and I got itchy,

so I used your house to practice.

Do you like it?

I do.

I can stay inside for months without going out,

and I wouldn't be bored.

That's an exaggeration.

This is only the first draft.

Check if there's anything missing,

and I'll add it for you.

If you put it that way,

it's missing a lady of the house.

That's simple.

Really?

(Matchmaking Corner)

Young man, here for a blind date?

You look decent.

Do you have a house?

Yes, Auntie.

I have 87 houses.

15 have been liquidated.

There are still 62 remaining.

Stop kidding.

Bu Ran.

Are you serious?

You sent me to the matchmaking corner.

I should be considered the one with good looks, right?

Do you think I need blind dates?

Young man.

You're here to find a match, aren't you?

Take a look at this girl here.

She is

- No, thanks. - suitable for you.

Her height, weight...

I said, no, thanks.

She's such a beautiful girl.

She suits you very well.

- Let me see. - Take a look.

Okay.

Young man, don't run.

Take another look at someone else, young man.

Ms. Yao.

Bu Ran.

Ms. Yao.

Someone saw you put

the cervical spray in my office.

Last time, it seemed like your neck was uncomfortable.

I have used this spray before.

If you have a headache, spraying it on the cervical spine would help.

Let alone that I don't like it

when people casually enter my office,

we are not that close.

I won't casually accept your gifts.

You've misunderstood my intention.

I noticed your neck seemed to be in pain,

so I thought of this.

If it works well, you can just pay me for it.

It doesn't carry many personal feelings.

Mr. Lu, I have something to report to you in person.

I haven't seen you at the company these days.

So you've been fishing near the company.

What would the employees think?

As long as you're strong inside, why care about what others think?

What did you need?

If I'm not mistaken,

you think that Bu Ran

was targeted by the whole company,

so you want to take this opportunity with the project

to help her get along with everyone.

You really want to cultivate Bu Ran.

When I was young in the Welfare Center,

I always wanted to experience fishing.

I hoped to get a chance on the days we went out.

But the older kids

never let me.

I never got to experience it.

Sometimes,

when you can't stand out,

you can try to blend in.

Life would become much easier.

She wants the project,

but it's not as simple as strategizing on paper.

She needs my guidance.

In order to win people over,

she's fixing computers and giving out cervical sprays.

She's been busy.

But with just one glance,

she saw right through the headache problem I had.

Boss,

I'm worried she will discover my...

Impatience.

Are you being too protective of her?

I will go to her before getting off work

and tell her to keep her distance.

Do you want to experience it?

Let's have a competition to see

who gets more.

Okay.

Come on.

I've already caught one.

I have one too.

I've caught one as well.

Here's one for you.

Give me one.

Now you know I have good taste in picking chocolates.

Snooping through my privacy?

I'm not that scheming.

I didn't expect you to like the chocolates so much.

Why would I refuse delicious snacks?

I heard that in a short amount of time,

you've blended in with the Design Department.

My encouragement seems to be very effective.

I'll take that as a compliment.

I need to remind you

Ms. Yao has been overseeing

internal operations of the company.

Don't try to win her over.

Maintain a certain distance from her.

So your sudden appearance was not to compliment me,

but to warn me not to get too close to Ms. Yao.

Perhaps I came across as too eager.

I will take it slowly.

I think your intention is good.

But some efforts are unrewarding.

No need to waste your time.

It's getting late. Let's go together.

Are you feeling indignant for me

and giving me some attention?

I'm worried if you get home late,

I won't have any porridge tomorrow.

I still have work to do.

Worry less about useless things.

Get off work now.

Is anyone there?

Are you alright?

Ms. Yao.

What happened? Are you sick?

I'm fine, you can go.

I'm the only one left in the company besides you.

I'll take you to the hospital.

No need.

I'll rest for a bit and then go back myself.

If you hate me, do that when you're well.

Stop being stubborn. Come on.

Now that I know, I can't let anything happen to you.

(Emergency Room)

Mr. Lu.

You can go now.

Go home and rest.

Yao...

No wonder he was so nervous before.

He warned me not to get close to Ms. Yao.

It turns out he was afraid I'd discover their secret affair.

Why pretend to be a bachelor if you're not single?

(Still trying to get creepshots)

(I should stay and cover for them.)

(Emergency Room)

I told you to go home.

Why won't you leave?

I'm tired.

Can't I just rest my feet on the hospital bench?

How is Ms. Yao?

Teamwork isn't about cutting corners.

Get your eyes off Ms. Yao.

What do you mean by cutting corners?

Could I have predicted

that Ms. Yao would feel unwell today?

Listening to me won't do you any harm.

If I wanted to climb the ladder, I'd go straight for the boss.

Why would I go to such lengths for a secretary?

What are you doing?

Hitching a ride, not interested in hitting on the boss.

Did you learn to drive from a bee?

Stop the car.

I saw a colleague sick,

but I was nagged

for taking her to the hospital.

Would I be happy?

Ms. Yao doesn't want her health condition to be known.

I told you to leave, but you stayed.

Can't I say anything?

At work,

she is the president's secretary, who needs to be mysterious.

But now, she is just a sick and helpless

patient in need of protection.

Besides, I brought her to the hospital.

I have to make sure she is okay.

If I did anything wrong, at most,

I saw your romantic

relationship with Ms. Yao.

I...

Don't be nervous.

I am a worker who knows my limits.

Where on earth did you see

that I am dating Ms. Yao?

I'm not blind.

The way you rushed to the hospital just now,

doesn't that explain it?

Poor Ms. Yao.

She can't even publically date you.

Do you think you're a celebrity?

Such a heavy idol burden.

Are you done?

No.

Since you are close with her,

you should care even more about her health.

She works overtime so late.

Can't you check on her?

As a cute and cool CEO, you still need to be a gentleman.

Otherwise, you'd be a scumbag.

I...

Listen to me before you go inside.

Let me reiterate.

I am not dating Ms. Yao.

We are purely business partners.

Do you understand?

I don't need your explanation.

Boss, who you like is none of my business.

As for the ceremony,

now that I couldn't make it

to blend in,

I won't go.

There is still one more day.

Just assume I choose to give up.

Suit yourself.

(What's wrong with me?) (What's wrong with me?)

I'm late.

There are no peanuts in the porridge today, right?

If you forget what I told you again, I'll send you away immediately.

What are you doing here?

At this time?

Shouldn't you be at the regular meeting?

Where I am and what I'm doing

is not your concern, servant.

What servant?

What's going on here?

You've repeatedly fallen behind on rent, with interest piling up,

you already owe me so much money.

I've taken back the house.

Serve well as my servant to repay the debt.

Don't I work at Pinshang?

I will work hard on my drawings to repay the debt.

You've been fired by Pinshang.

Why?

Because my wife doesn't like you.

Your wife?

My dear.

Yes, because I don't like you.

You...

Both of you...

You...

Why am I having such a dream?

Let's buy some tea.

You've quit drinking. Tea is good for the liver.

Never mind, it's not necessary.

I've heard from Ran.

She has recently taken a liking to tea as well.

Then let's buy some.

Let's go.

Minde, you seem to be happy.

I thought after you were driven out of the Yi Family,

you could only suffocate.

Can you afford the tea?

I still have the ability to earn some pocket money.

You're being modest.

I am someone who values talent.

With your ability,

even if you give up on a place in Yihua,

you can surely suffice for middle management

at my mother's family company.

Bu Huiyun.

You've caused this for Minde.

No wonder Mom disapproved

of you two getting married.

Look at what you brought to him.

Kexin.

I married Huiyun

because I love her.

Loving someone isn't about taking,

nor is it scheming for her help.

Instead, it's about changing my personality,

my temperament, and my lifestyle for her.

Our life is a bit strained right now,

but still,

we are very happy.

You and Mincai should know.

You don't need to mock me.

Mincai will never

be as caring as you.

But I have Zihe, who will

eventually take over the Yi Family

and make me proud.

As for Bu Ran, though,

does staying under Lu Cenyang's wing

let you rest easy?

Aren't you worried

about Lu Cenyang and her

exchanging glances day and night?

Once Bu Ran gets charmed by Lu Cenyang,

and Lu Cenyang finds out she's from the Yi Family,

what will become of Bu Ran?

(Salary Payment)

(Thank goodness.)

(I have money to improve)

(my family's living conditions.)

Why are you in a daze?

Mr. Li, good morning.

Morning.

I just saw my salary as a regular employee,

and I got emotional.

Seeing your hard work

reflected in the salary

feels good, right?

Yes.

I won't have to worry about living paycheck to paycheck anymore.

I can even afford gifts

as filial piety to my parents.

Mr. Li.

Do you have any good items

for gifts to my parents?

I'm just a gardener.

All I understand is fertilizers and pesticides.

If you must ask,

I suggest asking Mr. Lu.

He has a broad perspective

and knows what's trendy now.

I'm afraid he'll charge a consulting fee.

I certainly won't ask him.

I was just saying.

I didn't expect such a big reaction.

Did he scold you again?

No.

I...

I'm going to work first.

(Your dad heard you like drinking tea.)

(He was reluctant to spend on himself,)

(but he bought two jin for you.)

Give me a hand. I can hardly carry them anymore.

It's payday today.

I released my shopping desire.

Mom, these are kitchen supplies for you.

Aren't you working today?

Why did you come here at lunch break?

My little electric scooter is very reliable.

The earlier you get it, the sooner you can use it.

Our busy Mr. Lu

relies on such smart and convenient appliances

to make a variety

of tasty dishes

in a very short time.

My girl.

You've chosen a nice pot.

Since when do you understand bonsai?

I learned from Mr. Lu.

Using bonsai to adorn the indoor space

is particularly effective.

Mom also likes to grow flowers.

She can play with it.

You've learned a lot from Lu Cenyang.

Rubbing off on him.

Learning more wouldn't hurt.

Dad, where's your tea?

Here.

I've prepared it for you early.

Come, take a smell.

The aroma of the tea is rich,

not at all inferior to Mr. Lu's treasured collection.

Ran,

have you noticed

that you can't seem to stop talking about Lu Cenyang?

I saw your Aunt Xin today.

Her habit is to have someone tail the people she dislikes.

She warned me, saying

you've been getting particularly close with Lu Cenyang recently.

Would you...

How could that be possible?

Aunt Xin loves to be condescending.

The more jealous of us she becomes,

the more she tends to exaggerate.

I trust you.

But Lu Cenyang

has always been at odds with the Yi Family.

If you and he really...

Don't worry.

He has a girlfriend.

It's just a secret affair.

Well, that's good.

His having a girlfriend is one thing.

Would you...

If there were anything between us,

would I still need to struggle in the Marketing Department?

I just want to remind you.

Some people are just hoping

for you and Lu Cenyang to get together

so that they can catch him by the short hair.

Otherwise, why would they

be so kind and not expose your identity at the Yi Family?

The more important you are to Lu Cenyang,

the greater your value for being used.

Don't get involved

and caught in a dilemma.

I see.

I'll go back to the company.

See you.

Look at this kid.

Whenever we talk about something you don't want to hear, you'd bolt.

Your dad's worries are valid.

You have the Welfare Center case to back you up.

You can start an independent career.

I only participated in a bit of the design.

Still a long way off.

I have a meeting.

I'll rush back now.

I'm off.

Be careful on the road.
