Hello?

Hi.

I'm Amy from Cyan's HR Department.

Congratulations.

You've passed the interview for our company.

Hello? Are you listening?

Hello?

Hello?

I got the job!

I got it!

I'll be honored

to become a taxpayer

of the People's Republic of China.

Old lady,

admit defeat.

Does getting the job mean you win?

There's still a probation period.

When is the deadline for applying for the postgraduate entrance exam?

End of October, I think.

- What... - Still enough time.

What do you mean?

You said you're the assistant to the general manager.

You've always been

the center of attention since childhood.

Can you handle serving others?

Let's wait and see.

We'll see the result after three months.

Then I'll raise the stakes.

If I become a regular employee,

you owe me a bag.

No problem.

If it doesn't work out,

I'll decide on your postgraduate major.

No objections

or failure can be accepted.

I won't fail.

Deal.

Two gamblers.

Let go, let go.

(Cyan Art Center)

Yes. I told you, right?

- Who knew? - I was so surprised.

- Exactly. - Who's this? So pretty.

Hello.

I'm Huang Yimei, new here.

- Nice to meet you. - Hello, hello.

Let me take you to your desk.

No need, no need.

Okay, then you show me the way.

- Who's this? - Alright.

Alright, alright.

You're Huang Yimei, right?

Let's have lunch together.

My treat, my treat.

Don't compete with me. It's my treat.

I knew you'd come, so I've prepared flowers.

Have you had breakfast?

Coffee?

No, no, you're too polite.

- How about an apple? - No need.

Come on, let's go together.

- Together, together. - Okay, okay.

Let's go together. My treat.

My treat, my treat.

- My treat. - Listen up, everyone.

(Cyan Art Center)

Ms. Su.

You're here.

Go to the HR Department first to register.

Process your entry procedures and get your work card.

Then go find the colleague in charge of the system

to get your employee ID and email.

Should I say hi to Ms. Jiang first?

She's on a business trip today.

I've prepared myself to face the tiger.

But the tiger isn't home.

You're very beautiful.

Being beautiful is an advantage.

But being as beautiful as you are

could be an advantage

or a hindrance.

In the future, you'll encounter many difficulties.

But you must remember

to tackle them immediately.

Don't show weakness,

because showing weakness could mean taking sides,

and taking sides could make you a target for others.

This is the document room and also a storage room.

All the project documents and backups

from the past are here.

You'll get familiar with them starting from this year.

The meeting room.

Before every meeting in the future,

you'll need to prepare meeting materials

and multimedia materials.

Can you drive?

I have a license but haven't driven much.

This is your seat.

It's closest to Tina's office.

If she calls you,

you need to respond to her immediately.

The first thing you should do when coming to the office

is tidy up Tina's office.

Her deliveries will go through you first.

After sorting them, hand them over to her.

About the documents on the desk,

the ones on the left are signed,

and the ones on the right are pending.

- Don't mix them up. - Okay.

Come here.

Do you usually drink?

Not much.

Not drinking is fine too,

but you need to understand wine.

Remember all the wines in this cabinet.

If any bottle is missing, replace it.

They're in the storage room.

Wine is vital for Tina.

If she works overtime,

she'll need whiskey.

If she drinks too much at a social event,

she'll definitely have a brandy the next morning.

This is called the reviving liquor.

If you see her drinking

during working hours,

be careful.

She'll start scolding people.

She does that?

(Bai Xiaohe)

Hello.

I'm Huang Zhenhua.

(Biophysical Chemistry)

Hello.

I'm Bai Xiaohe.

I got your contact information

from Professor Liang.

If it's not inconvenient,

can we chat via text first?

Sure.

I heard you're doing a PhD.

Yes.

Must be tough.

It is.

She's really reticent.

You have a nice name.

The moment when a lotus sticks out,

a dragonfly is standing on it.

It sounds like you're elegant and beautiful,

like a lotus emerging from water.

That's not what my name means.

Do you know what Mr. Teng is doing in Beijing?

I don't know.

Why did you come to boast then?

He's attending an event

at the China World Hotel.

Then let me arrange it.

Arrange what?

Fengcai International

has been our rival for many years.

Don't you know that?

I can't even get in,

including the familiar faces like you.

Then what should we do?

You're asking me that?

Did I hire you

to ask me questions?

Go and find solutions, understand?

Get out!

My lucky color today is red,

and my unlucky color is yellow.

How dare you flaunt yellow in front of me?

Huang Yimei!

Ms. Jiang.

Get me an emergency appointment at the hospital.

What's wrong?

My blood sugar is low. Where's my food?

My lucky color today is red,

and my unlucky color is yellow.

How dare you flaunt yellow in front of me?

Who is Mr. Teng?

Why is he so hard to meet?

He's a famous mysterious collector.

This year's China-France Culture Fair

includes a Masters Exhibition and Future Masters Exhibition,

which we're co-organizing

with another company.

Mr. Teng has several collections

that Tina is very fond of.

If he's willing to lend them to us,

any one of them could be the highlight.

But his personal information is very limited.

He doesn't speak Chinese,

and his schedule is very unpredictable, making it hard to meet him.

Why are you asking about it?

This isn't your job.

Have you read all the materials I gave you?

Each level has its own tasks.

Don't aim too high.

Didn't you say if the boss has any requirements,

we should respond immediately?

This is for you.

What are you doing?

I warned you on the first day at the company.

Don't take sides.

Not even mine.

I'm not taking sides.

It's about reciprocity.

No, thank you.

I can't afford expensive things now.

I'll buy you a better one

when I get a promotion and raise.

What's this for?

(Fengcai International)

(Charmer over the Years: 2001 Fengcai International Collection Event to Open)

Hello, Madam. This is a greeting card,

not an invitation.

Sorry, this is...

I brought the invitation.

Where is it?

Let me see.

Wait a moment.

Hello, Madam. If you don't have an invitation,

you're not allowed to enter.

My friend is inside.

Could you make an exception?

Then you can call your friend

to come down and pick you up.

Hey, come pick me up.

They won't let me in.

(Charmer over the Years)

Hello, sir. This is...

She's my friend.

Okay, please come in.

- Why are you arresting me? - You're really good.

Came here to steal the client, huh?

You hurt me.

Open your eyes wider.

There might be

others doing the same thing.

Hurry up.

Hey, Miss Zhao.

I'm here.

Did you see me?

I saw you.

Miss Zhao.

Sorry.

You have to work overtime now.

It's okay.

I work in sales, available all day.

You want to book a banquet hall, right?

Yes, our event on the 3rd of next month

requires early setup of the venue.

Any requirements for the scale?

We have several banquet halls here,

with different sizes and rents.

It depends on your needs.

Our event isn't large in scale

but it's high-end.

So we need to check it out beforehand.

No problem.

Let me show you a smaller one first.

Please, this way.

Miss Huang, this way.

This is the West Hall we just saw.

I'll show you the East Hall.

Okay.

This one is larger.

Come in, please.

How is it?

How big is this hall?

Does it have any requirements or restrictions

for venue setup?

The ceiling height is 6 meters,

with an area of 40 by 24 meters.

It can accommodate 40 standard tables.

Without the partitions, the area will increase.

We can also divide it into four smaller halls

according to your needs.

Rest assured about the venue setup.

It'll be handled by a professional team.

Of course.

We can also design

based on your special requirements.

The size of this hall is fine,

but these two halls are connected,

sharing a corridor outside.

We need to clear the space on the event day.

I see.

There's a separate hall upstairs,

but unluckily,

it's currently in use.

I'll just take a look around.

Miss Huang, wait a moment.

They have security, so you can't enter like this.

Let's not take the elevator.

I'll take you through the staff passage.

This way, please.

Here, Miss Huang.

Here.

By the way, Miss Huang,

this hall occupies an entire floor,

so the price isn't as favorable.

Price is not an issue.

How do you usually invoice?

It will be invoiced as a venue rental fee.

It's for business, right?

It will be clearly stated in the contract.

Don't worry.

Okay.

Please, this way, Miss Huang.

Okay.

- Please, come in. - Alright.

This hall is nice.

You can't enter.

Well,

when can you make a decision?

Prepare the contract as soon as possible.

I'll get the boss to sign it right away.

Where is the restroom?

It's right here.

I'll go with you.

No need, I can go by myself.

Thank you.

Hey, Miss Zhao.

Yes, I'm already outside.

I didn't see you.

Then I'll leave first.

Thank you today. See you next time.

Okay.

Is this your first time here?

Yes, it is.

Mr. Teng invited me,

but I don't seem to see him.

- Kenny. - Yes, yes, yes.

I just saw him a moment ago.

- Really? - That's right.

Here's my business card.

Thank you.

Could I have one of yours?

Sorry, I don't have a business card.

- Thank you. - Okay, no problem.

Hello, Mr. Teng's drink.

Next time.

Excuse me, sir.

I'm Rosie from Cyan Art.

Nice to meet you.

I know you have an extremely tight schedule,

so I have to make my way to meet you.

Interesting.

Sorry, I don't speak French.

It's okay.

What can I do for you?

Actually, my boss, Tina,

she's arranging

an exhibition for the China-France Culture Fair,

so she really wishes to display your collection at the fair.

I was wondering if it's possible for her to meet you.

Eric.

I have to go now. Contact me by phone.

- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.

You're not Mr. Teng.

I didn't say I was Mr. Teng.

You think peaking English

makes it easier to deceive people, right?

Why would I deceive you?

Sir, hello.

Mr. Teng is asking for you.

Okay, thank you.

Aren't you looking for Mr. Teng?

Follow me.

Wait a moment.

This is your drink.

Thank you.

The lady over there has been looking for you.

Her boss hopes

to exhibit your collection at the China-France Culture Fair.

It's the event you mentioned?

Yes.

Is she your business partner?

No.

It's an interesting coincidence.

Perhaps

you can talk to her.

Okay, sure.

Hi, nice to meet you, sir.

- Hello. - Hello.

Who is your boss?

Who is your boss, and how should I address her?

Tina Jiang, Jiang Xueqiong.

My Chinese friend seems to have mentioned her.

But I'm sorry.

I'm heading to Hong Kong, China tonight.

I'm afraid I won't have a chance to meet her.

I've heard about her from my Chinese friend,

but I'm leaving for Hong Kong, China tonight

and probably won't make it to see her.

Can I buy you a drink?

This is what I said to you.

Can I buy you a drink?

I just need half an hour.

This is what I said to Mr. Teng.

Can she buy you a drink?

Okay, sure.

Okay.

Hey.

Ms. Jiang,

you need to come to the China World Hotel right away,

within half an hour.

Who is the assistant here?

Mr. Teng is right next to me now.

He can only spare you half an hour.

Coming.

It's quite bold for us to meet this way

for the first time.

But I really didn't expect

you would

agree to meet us.

It's quite bold for us to meet this way

for the first time.

I find it rather interesting.

- Pineapple and ginger soda. - Thank you.

Your assistant is very clever

and bold.

I find it rather interesting.

Your assistant is very clever

and bold.

But this is our first meeting after all.

I cannot easily agree to many requests of yours.

But this is our first meeting after all.

I cannot easily agree to many requests of yours.

I hope you can understand.

Of course, I totally understand.

Trust is very important.

But I believe in the near future,

you will come to understand more

and trust Cyan more.

Of course.

Trust is very important.

But I believe in the near future,

you will come to understand more

and trust Cyan more.

I admire your confidence.

I admire your confidence.

Thank you.

Hello.

Could I buy you a drink?

Sorry, I'm with my boss.

It's okay.

Then I can wait with you for her.

Kenny, it's almost time.

Okay.

You do know a lot about my collection.

I'm about to leave for the airport.

Let's exchange contact information.

Can we exchange contact information?

Sure, sure.

Sorry, we...

Okay.

Can I buy you a drink now?

Thank you.

Providing alcoholic beverages to minors

is illegal.

Do you really believe it?

Thank you for your help today.

Just a small favor.

I heard earlier

you're organizing this year's China-France Culture Fair.

Yes.

Could there be a chance

for us to cooperate in the future?

Huang Yimei, hurry and take me home.

Thank you.

Boss!

Nice to meet you.

Ms. Jiang,

are you sure I should drive?

I've hardly driven before.

Just drive.

Okay.

If you dare to ride with me,

I dare to drive.

Ms. Jiang, are you okay?

You don't look so good.

Take me home.

Okay.

Sure.

I'm sorry.

Hey, do you even know how to drive?

Ms. Jiang,

are you feeling unwell?

I'll take you to the hospital.

I told you to take me home.

Can't you understand human language?

I know. I know.

I'm fine. I just want to go home, okay?

No.

This isn't the way to my house.

Where are you taking me?

To the hospital.

Huang Yimei, I told you I want to go home.

I just need a cup of hot water.

No need for the hospital.

I command you

to take me home right now.

I'm sorry, Ms. Jiang.

It's a matter of life and death.

Even if you want to fire me,

you should fire me at the hospital.

(Emergency)

- I'm not going. - Come on.

Let's go.

I want to go home. I won't go to the hospital.

Tina, Tina.

Where are you going? I want to go home.

- Let's go. - What's wrong?

(Emergency Room) Her stomach hurts.

Hello?

Ms. Su, Tina and I are at the hospital.

Can you come over?

Send me the address. I'll come over now.

Check the patient's blood pressure.

Thank you.

The doctor said she has a chronic gastric ulcer.

She only had salad for dinner tonight

- and drank a lot of alcohol. - Yeah.

The doctor said you brought her in time.

Otherwise, it would have been troublesome.

You can leave now dressed like this.

I'll stay.

Why?

Reimbursements.

For Tina's personal expenses,

ask her when she wakes up.

For the company's part,

go through the reimbursement process.

How do I get home without money?

Do I look like I brought my purse?

(Emergency)

Isn't your supervisor going too far?

This counts as overtime for you.

Can't she lend you money for a taxi?

Making me drive here at night.

She said she didn't bring any.

Okay.

I believe you.

Culture companies are different.

You're dressed for overtime like walking on the red carpet.

Another reticent one.

I think you're doing a great job.

Hello, Mr. Teng's drink.

Aren't you looking for Mr. Teng?

Follow me.

I find it rather interesting.

Your assistant is very clever

and bold.

It's quite bold for us to meet this way

for the first time.

I should have asked for his number.

Who are you talking about?

I have her number.

What's the use of a phone number?

Zhenhua,

are you dating again?

Mom introduced me to a female PhD.

I'm not taking the entrance exam,

so she introduced you to a PhD.

She's determined to raise our family's

average education level to a master's.

It seems like she didn't like me.

We've been texting for a few days.

I'm enthusiastic,

but the total number of words she replied with

is not even enough for a five-character quatrain.

Why not meet in person?

I don't know how to arrange a meeting.

Give me your phone.

Don't mess around. Keep it simple.

Done.

How did you ask her?

I just suggested a meeting.

She said okay and asked which day.

I said you're off tomorrow.

- Go then. - That's it?

Amazing.

Let me treat you to dinner.

Anything you like.

Zhenhua,

I'm thirsty.

What do you want to drink? I'll buy it now.

Sorry, we...

Okay.

I heard earlier

you're organizing this year's China-France Culture Fair.

Yes.

Could there be a chance

for us to cooperate in the future?

Huang Yimei, hurry and take me home.

(School of Chemistry)

Ms...

(Do not open the door with gloves on.)

I'm Huang Zhenhua.

Wait for me a moment.

Okay, okay.

Xiaohe, right?

I'm Huang Zhenhua.

Hello, I'm Bai Xiaohe.

Hello.

What research topic are you working on?

I'm studying

the synthesis of deoxyhemoglobin

and exploring its different

absorption mechanisms with hemoglobin

for different wavelengths of light.

Among what you said,

I could only understand"protein".

Since you mentioned protein,

I got a bit hungry.

How about we go for lunch together?

Where do you want to go?

The cafeteria.

Okay.

Let me change my clothes first.

Sure. Go ahead.

(City Diary)

(Exhibition Plan)

(Flow Season, Exhibition Plan, Planner: Huang Yimei)

(Sour Cabbage Chicken Noodle Soup)

What do you like to eat?

Do you have any dietary restrictions?

No, anything is fine.

Some girls don't like fatty meat.

Some don't eat onions, ginger, or garlic.

I'm not picky. Anything is fine.

Then I'll just order randomly.

Okay.

Fried Crispy Meat.

Fish Soup with Sour Cabbage.

Stir-fried Shrimp with Cashew and Celery.

And Potato Beef.

Another one.

Don't order too much. We can't finish them all.

It'll be a waste.

Another vegetable dish?

- Okay. - Another vegetable dish.

And rice.

Is rice okay?

Sure.

Let's go over there.

Okay.

Let's sit there.

Alright.

Sure.

Wait a moment.

It's all greasy.

It's fine. It's already old.

Well...

It's quite expensive.

It should be cherished.

Things are meant to be used.

Being too concerned about them

makes people slaves to objects.

Makes sense.

I was being stingy.

I was being stingy.

I brought you to eat at the cafeteria.

Hope you don't mind.

I have experiments to do in the afternoon,

so I'm a bit pressed for time.

I don't mind. I often come to this cafeteria.

It feels like home. It's cozy.

That's good.

Here, try this.

Beef.

Thank you.

You're welcome.
