=Episode 18=

Liang Daiwen!

You filthy animal.

Where are my clothes?

I put them in the dryer.

In the dryer?

Did you see everything?

See what?

You...

You're despicable!

You threw up after leaving Ounce.

You threw up all over yourself.

And, you clung onto me like an octopus.

It took Guan Xingxin a lot of effort

to drag you away from me

and help you get changed.

What you're wearing right now

is the spare sweatshirt
Yu Dule kept in the bar.

So, this filthy animal

didn't see anything.

If so, why didn't you send me home?

I did.

I asked you about your door password.

You kept repeating my door password

like a broken record.

You...

You didn't move?

I did.

I moved up one floor.

One floor?

This is Unit 1502.

That number

is quite auspicious.

Sorry for bothering you.

I'll make a move first.

I...

Thank you.

So, please deliver

the clothes to me
via express delivery.

Express delivery, okay?

Hello?

Hello, Mr. Liang.

I got in touch with Mr. Li Ai.

Can you arrange an appointment for us?

It's kind of difficult.

He's not around at the moment.

He's abroad.

Go on stage!

Go on stage!

Yi,

I've sent the weekly report
to your email.

(Challenges women
face during job hunting...)

(Remark: Our current theme
is the struggle of women.)

(These topics are unrelated. Redo them.)

Look.

What does she mean by this?

Low desires of the working class,

workplaces obsessed with "wolf culture",

the public relations crisis
of a scandalous affair,

which of them aren't
a part of women's struggle?

Obviously, Deputy Director
doesn't care about

such struggles of women.

I'll change them!

(Struggle of women's body image anxiety)

(What's wrong with being chubby?)

(What's wrong with that?
Did I eat your food?)

Done.

(Jacqueline: Hurry and send it to me.
Your draft is the only thing lacking.)

(These are the new scripts.)

(All ideas are welcome.)

Gu Yi.

Gu Yi!

You sent the content
to the group chat directly.

Are you perfectly confident in them?

That's not it.

Are you happy
that you've skipped your superior?

I'm not.

But I don't know
how to change my content.

If you think my scripts are lousy too,

I'll be willing to change them.

Promoting Penny

to the position of Deputy Director

was a decision made by the company.

Why didn't you heed her suggestions
now that she's your superior?

She told me to write about
the struggles of women.

But all of the interviewees she found

were successful women.

It feels shallow to discuss
that topic with them.

Think about it.

We're discussing the struggle of women
with someone who earns millions of yuan.

Don't you think that'll irk the readers?

If I were a reader,

I wouldn't want to listen to people
at the top of the pyramid

talking about success.

What's wrong?

Can't ordinary people
talk about their struggles?

Is Nextmonday
a meddlesome middle-aged aunt?

We...

(I'm done for.)

(Roger designated Penny
to be the Deputy Director.)

(Jacqueline did him a favor
by promoting Penny.)

(And now, I'm trying to obstruct him?)

(This time, I walked right
into the trap myself.)

Sorry.

I was too reckless.

I'll head back and change the content.

The group chat

and meeting room

are parts of
a public working environment.

Is embarrassing your superiors

the way you do things?

If everyone acted like you,

the company wouldn't need
to proofread your scripts, then.

Log into your Outlook account

and send an explanation

to the Deputy Director

as to why you bypassed her.

This is the last time you're doing this.

I'm finally done.

Mr. Yu,

help me proofread my scripts.

Can't you see that I'm busy?

Who are you ordering around?

Can you please do me a favor?

That Deputy Director of ours
will inspect my content.

I'm afraid I'll throw up
if I proofread my own content.

Fine.

What about this?

You can do me a favor in return.

Guan Xingxin will go for
several trial live streams

in a few more days.

Remember to remind her

to bring the beeper

I gifted her

when she leaves the house.

Girls need to stay safe

when they're outside,

am I right?

Can you stop spreading anxiety?

She did plenty of live streams
before she got to know you, you know?

You do have a point.

But you see,

you can never understand the severity

of harassment
that a beautiful woman will face.

Yu Dule,

that sounds offensive even if
you pass it off as a joke,

you know?

Besides,

so what if she brings
the beeper with her?

Will you appear right beside her
after she presses it?

What? Are you a superhero
who can teleport?

You've hit my nerve.

If only I were a superhero.

But you see, at least

I can sleep peacefully
if she brings it with her,

don't you agree?

A friend of mine

has a crush on a female live streamer...

Gu Yi,

that's too much.

Delete that. Stop reading it.

Gu Yi.

I'm warning you.

He actually told her to bring a beeper
with her when she leaves the house.

I asked him what she could do
with a beeper

out of curiosity.

Ms. Gu?

Delete that.

I can't do that. I...

To hell with you!

And...

You see...

Guys, dogs are very strict.

They are.

Back then,
I couldn't retrieve the frisbee.

You...

You...

You...

What drinks do you want?

What drinks do I want?

I haven't asked you why you're here yet.

Duo is busy today.

I'm covering for her for a while.

You're covering for her?

Do you two know each other that well?

Can't I cover for her
if I don't know her well?

I merely have alexithymia.

I'm not an idiot.

I can handle basic social interactions.

But they've already arranged
the shift for me.

Don't be angry. I'll think of something.

It's too late for me to apply for leave.

Okay.

I'll see if someone can replace me.

Duo.

Here are your clothes.

Thanks.

Express delivery will do.

No need to deliver them yourself.

I wanted to.

I was here to pester you so that
you would provide me with treatment.

What? You want to give up
on the treatment after doing this to me?

I'll never agree to it.

Come here.

You wish to continue
with the treatment, huh?

I'll consider it.

However,

can you leave the bar counter first?

It's unfair to others
when you pretend to be a bartender.

Unfair to who?

Xu Guanrui?

It's unfair to the customers.

Were you calling for me?

Is this the new bartender?

I wasn't eavesdropping on you two.

I just heard someone calling my name.

It was me.

But I wasn't making a wish.

You didn't need to appear immediately.

If I hadn't appeared
in the nick of time previously,

Gu Yi would have no way
of leaving the stage.

It's not a good thing
to carry a woman in public

without permission.

She already kissed me before.

The bite mark will only vanish
after some time.

Now, you want to act
as if nothing had happened?

Let me take a look.

Stop looking.

Go and wash the cups.

I didn't see it clearly.

Who bit him? Did you bite him?

It wasn't me.

You should bite me too.

It was a dog.

Two beers.

Beer?

Where is it?

Over there.

Just now, Liang Daiwen said

he has

a strange condition.

Alexithymia.

Alexithymia?

What does that mean?

It's a condition

where his emotions
are not well-regulated all year long.

He cannot express them accurately.

A condition like this
actually exists, huh?

If so...

If so, how much love
will he be able to sense?

A little.

You shouldn't mock him.

I'm not.

Instead, I think

you're more courageous than I think.

It's hard on him too.

You already swallowed so many grievances
because of him.

Now, you can't bear for him to be upset?

You see, when it comes
to apologies in a relationship,

saying sorry alone
won't resolve the issue.

You have to make him
go through the same thing as you.

That's what we call a worthy apology.

There's no need
to be so calculative, right?

Actually, he's been trying his best.

However, one's effort might not
correspond to the result.

Therefore,

you still can't give up on him, huh?

You'll become soft-hearted

when he approaches you again.

Actually, I asked myself
the same question before.

Will I lose my patience

if he keeps acting like this?

I don't know the answer to that.

I only know

that I don't like myself

when I lose control
of my emotions because of him.

The right person will help you
regulate your emotions.

This is a painful relationship.

You should find someone
who can warm your heart.

Gu Yi,

you're my comrade.

You're also an important friend of mine.

I don't treat other people like you.

(I've always been living like this)

(before I got to know you.)

(I don't want to waste your time,)

(yet I don't want to let you go.)

Listen.

That thief only stole

the DSLR camera.

Luckily,

the female owner wasn't around.

After that,

he hid in the foyer

of Unit 501, behind the door,

after stealing the camera.

Is that so?

It was terrifying.

The thief only ran away

after he was shocked to see

the male owner
when he was disposing of the trash.

Woohoo!

This neighborhood is crowded.

The tenants come from
all kinds of backgrounds too.

Listen,

there was a burglary
in the unit below mine.

The committee madam

said she needed to register the names
of all female tenants.

(Deliver upon release)
That's dangerous.

If the criminals
get their hands on the list,

that means they'll have a list
of ready targets to go.

(Guan Xingxin: Gu Yi, don't be scared.
I'll stay with you tonight after work.)

(I'll give you the beeper
that Yu Dule had given me.)

Will Yu Dule's beeper actually work?

Is it actually useful?

(Robot: I'll head there later.)

(Robot: I'll head there later.)

Now, even if Liang Daiwen is here,

he won't be able to criticize
my storage skills.

Who's there?

Why

are you installing a CCTV?

I'll be safe if I can view my doorstep

with my phone, you know?

It's not for your phone.

It's for mine.

Huh?

Will I be safe
if you can view my doorstep

from your phone?

Can you transport yourself here
from the phone

and fight off the crooks
if they come here?

Or,

are you trying to
put me under surveillance?

Are you trying to spy on me?

Am I that sinister?

I promised Mdm. Wang

that I would keep an eye on you.

I'm just worried about you.

What's there to worry about?

I'm just a small cog in the workplace.

Being unlucky is a part
of my character setting.

Why are you placing a pair of shoes

on my shoe rack?

Are you moving in?

I learned this from the Internet.

They said women who live alone

could keep some
men's clothing in the house.

They can also

put a pair of men's shoes in the house.

But people can see through this easily.

They're too new.

It's obvious that this is a bluff.

You...

Can't you just put your current shoes

on my rack

and wear the new ones?

You dirtied your new shoes
for no reason, you know?

It's impolite for me
to put my used shoes

in your house.

It's inappropriate as well.

Thanks for the CCTV.

Don't mention it.

But if Xu Guanrui dares

to step into the house,

I'll call the cops on him.

Aren't pets supposed
to protect their owners?

But the kittens you took from Liang

are only good at sleeping.

Aren't they adorable?

Sleeping is the kittens' only mission.

If so, you have to exercise.

Liang

can play squash.

Tell him to play squash
with us this weekend.

Must I?

I'll get smacked

by the ball, you know?

You'll get smacked, huh?
That's pretty good.

If not, Liang doesn't have
a chance to care for you.

What is this?

This is the beeper
Yu Dule bought for me.

Is this it?

I assume Mr. Yu

might get upset at himself

if he knows that his gift
is actually useless.

I don't think it's useless.

It's adorable.

Things like beepers and CCTVs

match the style
of Yu Dule and Liang completely.

However,

Mr. Lu and Xu Guanrui

would never buy something like that.

Speaking of Xu Guanrui,

I have to tell you something.

I feel like he's been acting strange

lately.

What's wrong?

Did he confess to you?

That's not it.

He has always been considerate

and known his boundaries

ever since

we got to know each other.

But lately,

he's been kind of proactive.

That's because he realized

that you and Liang

don't have mutual feelings
for each other.

Love is an emotion

produced by the secretion of dopamine.

Competition

also produces dopamine.

That's why candy tastes better when
you take it from someone else.

But Liang Daiwen doesn't like candy.

Yeah.

Sanju, what should we do?

What should we do about him?

(Popcorn)

I'll talk about the rumors
in the stand-up comedy circle.

I know nothing
about the entertainment circle.

If so,

let's talk about some stand-up gossip.

It's not like I directed them to do so.

What has this got to do with me?

This has nothing to do
with stand-up comedy either.

It's purely because the man was drunk.

Aren't you surprised?

I am.

What's going on?

You did this on purpose, right?

I swear to God.

It happened randomly.

What kind of stupid machine is this?
Someone should get a new one.

Calm down.

When it comes to romance,

it's a blessing when it arrives.

If it doesn't, just let it be.

Do not let potential partners

distract you from being funny.

You can do this.

Hello, everyone. I'm Gu Yi.

In Ounce,

to be an audience,
you need to draw a lot.

You need to draw a lot
if you wish to perform here as well.

It's been a long time
since I was chosen.

I was so annoyed that I argued
with the boss on the street.

Why didn't you slap me?

You should slap me.

The passersby were dumbfounded.

A kind Samaritan who passed by
came with his palm raised.

He asked me

whether I needed any help.

Ounce is pretty strict
when it comes

to drawing lots for the audience.

It's an official process too.

You need to register your name.

I'm afraid that you guys

have to swear a vow one day.

The crew will say this,

"Will you

come and spectate
the performances in Ounce

no matter if it's hilarious or awkward,

no matter if it's crowded

or not?"

The audience will say...

Yes, I do! Pick me!

Pick me!

That's right. Excellent.

No wonder they picked you.

We'll pick you again next time.

Okay!

There's a friend of mine

who's a content creator.

He recently posted a video of him

brushing a Golden Retriever.

It went viral.

He posted it every day.

He brushed the dog every day.

He uploaded videos

more and more frequently.

The dog's fur was getting
lesser and lesser.

The brushing was so intense that
the Golden Retriever lost its color.

Its fur became white.

When he took it out for a walk,

people asked him why
his Schnauzer was gigantic.

They said it looked like
a Golden Retriever.

Actually, I'm a simple person.

I only like two things.

Dog

and men.

I'm not a dog.

I truly fancy you.

Why didn't you drink after ordering it?

I don't take alcohol.

I love customers like you.

You stimulate consumer spending.

Give me the drink, then.

Who were you calling
dog for a man just now?

That was just a part of my script.

It's a joke. Don't take it seriously.

Xu Guanrui understood your joke.

He could tell

that you were referring to me.

Fine. I'll apologize to you, then.

I'll come up with another joke

to clear your name next time.

This won't do.

What do you hate about me?

Tell me.

Why are you so serious?

It's because you sounded like
you detest me

whenever you feature me in your jokes.

So, will you

change your ways
if I tell you about them?

I will.

Fine.

Firstly,

you need to change the way
you chat on WeChat.

You can't just type things like

"Okay"

or "Alright."

That's being indifferent.

You have to at least change your tone

when you chat with your friends.

For example?

For example...

For example, you shouldn't type "Okay."

You should type something like

"Okay, then!"

or

"Sure!"

Just add a random interjection.

That'll sound much better.

At least it proves

that we're close to each other.

Is there actually

a difference?

Of course.

From "Okay"

to "Okay, then!"

is just like going from
not being familiar with each other

to

me liking you.

That was mushy.

You said you would change your ways.

Now, you're turning your back on me.

It's tiring to chat with you.

Do you still remember

the script that Mr. Lu had written?

If two people always chat in a way
that feels like an online romance

with indifferent conversations,

there's no need to go as far
as sending pictures to each other.

The relationship will be over
before you know it.

Okay, then.

I'll change my ways.

Xu Guanrui is quite crafty.

You should be wary of him.

Liang Daiwen,

can you stop scaring me
in the middle of the night?

I didn't mean to scare you.

I just feel that Xu Guanrui
is overly attached to you.

I'm worried about your safety.

You're the one putting me in danger
when you scare me like that.

Sorry about that.

Alright now.

Don't do this again.

If you do this again,

I'll unplug the CCTV

and sever my ties with you.

Sure.

Mr. Liang,

you once designed products
for Xiafurui and Fenqi.

You've received plenty of invitations

from luxurious brands abroad.

Why did you give up on

all those opportunities

to focus on accessible designs?

If you insist on
developing them yourself,

will you consider accepting investments?

I'm developing the products myself

to ensure their functions.

Of course, I welcome
any investments as well.

The longer the development period,

the more resources I have to expend.

More supporting products need to be
developed alongside the main product.

Morning.

What's wrong?

Is there something on my face?

What's the matter?

Stop looking at them.

It's related to the special feature
from the last Fashion Week.

Didn't I send it to all of them?

You did.

But you omitted a client.

The client reported it
to Jacqueline directly.

Penny spoke with Jacqueline
in private this morning.

You should be mentally prepared.

Here she comes.

Gu Yi.

So, Penny took charge
of the exhibition voluntarily.

Gu Yi,

you were responsible for
communicating with our clients,

right?

Let me ask you this, then.

How did the feature end up like this?

Deputy Director filled her Moments

with short video clips for three days.

She never gave me
a complete description of the scene.

I matched her video playlist
with the on-site photos

requested by the brand dealers
one by one

before turning them into
a complete folder.

You sent the content to them
without permission.

There was no live coverage section,

and it wasn't sent to me for review
before the release.

You didn't reply to my texts on WeChat
or answer my calls.

The clients were waiting for
their features to be released.

Does that mean

you can ignore the procedures?

Who said I ignored the procedures?

Even photographers need time before they
publish their work.

I...

I can prove that I sought

your confirmation
before sending the content to them.

I could still
take screenshots of our chat too.

What's the use of that?

Do you think you two are still kids?

Why don't you send a copy
to the Marketing Department?

Gu Yi is responsible for
the substantive work.

It's easy to find out whose fault it is.

But I didn't call you guys here

so that you two could blame
each other for the mistake.

You should know clearly
about the job scope

of Deputy Director
of the planning department.

Why did you return to Nextmonday

when it was fun to be at shows?

You could've finished the task easily
according to the procedures.

You had to drag it out like this?

Are you trying to prove
your authority here?

Take it back and redo it!

Make sure you deliver the content

and pacify our client

before the end of the workday!

And,

this matter

ends with me.

Ms. Gu.

Thanks.

Why are you still working?

I have to wait for Penny's approval
after proofreading it

before I can send it to the clients.

I can't clock out
until the feature is published.

Penny loves to exploit people,
just like Jacqueline.

I know Jacqueline

was harsh with her words today.

Don't take it to heart.

I'm fine.

My script isn't that urgent anyway.

We can discuss it next time.

Why don't I discuss it with you
through the phone on my way back?

But you have to
look after yourself, okay?

See you.

I was climbing the stairs just now.

I'm almost home.

You should go inside.

Alright.

Stay safe.

Is there someone beside you?

There's a spirit.

Give me a moment.

Are you doing falcon-training?
Why aren't you asleep yet?

I was waiting for you to get home.

Can you speak with a nicer tone?

Sure.

Mr. Xu,

I've reached home.

Let's talk about it tomorrow.

Okay.

Sleep early, then.

Good night.

I'll hang up now.

Goodbye.

Door unlocked.

Liang Daiwen?

Liang Daiwen?

Liang Daiwen?

Liang Daiwen,

although you're asleep

and you can't keep
staring at the camera,

I still feel safe.

I feel like my sleep quality
has improved

after you installed the CCTV.

I can't help but to come out

and check if you're still here.

The CCTV isn't as good as WeChat.

And, you'll only get to see me

at random moments.

This is what you call
a reverse check-in, I guess.

Liang Daiwen,

actually, I felt upset

when I moved out of your house.

And, I felt awkward when you ignored me

when I was on stage.

Xu Guanrui said I was
soft-hearted toward you.

I guess he's right.

I don't know either.

Maybe I have no way

to be angry at you for real.

Say,

why do people always have expectations

for the impossibility?

Is it because

they like something so much
that they can't give up on it?

Stop being dramatic.

Just go to sleep.

We still need to play squash tomorrow.

Why are you still eavesdropping on me
even when you're sleeping?

Don't simply go anywhere.

I'm on duty 24/7.

Alright, then.

Good night.

Mom!

Mom!

I thought we were playing tennis.

I'll let you guys experience

the most popular sport for influencers
at the moment.

How can you play in that getup of yours?

I just finished
meeting a client just now.

My trial live stream is soon.

Even so, I didn't bring
my motion capture suit here.

Get yourselves ready.

How can he play in that getup?

I don't know either.

I'm the same.

You have work later.

But he just got off work.

Just let them enjoy themselves.

Be careful. Don't get a sprain.

Okay.

What are you doing?

What's wrong?

People will see your bite mark.

I'm not scared.

(Luckily, he has
an eccentric personality.)

(If not, he'll have countless suitors.)
