Yes, Mom. I understand.

I'm working right now.

I'll tell you tonight, okay?

-I have to go.
-Class Four on Friday--

I'm sorry, ma'am.

I bumped into you.

I'm sorry for breaking your Tianwen-1.

You can tell this is Tianwen-1?

Tianwen-1 is China's first
interplanetary mission into Mars orbit.

It was launched into Mars in July 2020.

It will take nine months to reach Mars.

You've done research on it?

I wouldn't call it research.

I'm just interested in astronomy
and love stargazing.

You don't seem to be from our school?

No, I'm not. I'm with Zenpro Automotive.

By the way, at the plaza,

there's an event
to promote new energy vehicles.

Ma'am, if you have the time,
you can have a look.

The vehicles are eco-friendly
and energy-saving.

I believe that promoting new energy

can improve the air quality in cities.

Also, our new energy car motto is,

"Bring back starry skies to the cities."

No wonder you wanted to work
with the Astronomy Club.

I've been paying attention
to your new energy vehicles.

Astronomy Club?

Are you the Astronomy Club's teacher?

That's great.

All the more reason to take a look.

We really need your support and guidance.

Is that okay?

-Okay.
-That's great.

Let's go. Please.

In our country,

we've attained great results

in terms of
curbing environmental pollution.

A lot of experts

gave credit to
the control of gasoline vehicles

and the increase in
new energy electric vehicles.

Please look at this.

These are the live test results

of air pollutant emissions

from gasoline and new energy vehicles.

The difference is clear as day.

With innovative technology,

we can realize a safe
and pleasant green journey.

It cleanses the atmosphere.

This is also my wish.

I don't want our descendants to live

-in a highly contaminated environment.
-Ruoxin.

-How did you get Ms. Fang on board?
-As you all know,

-I invited her when I contacted the club.
-humans,

-But she turned me down.
-there have been many changes…

That's right.

Ms. Fang likes to keep a low profile.

Ever since I entered the school,

it's my first time seeing her
attend such an event.

-Is that so?
-Yes.

-It's mainly carbon dioxide emissions.
-You're amazing.

The earth will become warm
and the glaciers will melt.

That will destroy the earth's ecosystem.

Ms. Fang.

Thank you so much for today.

With you joining us,

we gained more trust.

You're welcome.

I just think we share the same belief.

I just did what I could.

I heard that

you turned us down previously.

Frankly speaking, I always thought

this kind of campaign was too utilitarian.

The emphasis on eco-friendliness
is just a marketing stunt.

But today, when I saw that
you said the name of the model accurately,

you should be an astronomy fan as well.

You would have a passion
for promoting new energy vehicles.

-Thank you for understanding.
-You're welcome.

-I'll get going.
-Yes, Ms. Fang.

-Bye.
-Bye.

Hello, Ms. Fang.

Ruoxin.

Ms. Fang has posted our information
in their online school newspaper.

Many astronomy teachers were
very satisfied after the test-drive.

Three people signed on for
the College-Exclusive Car Purchase Plan.

-Really?
-Yes.

What do you want to eat tonight?

Order anything you want.

It's on me.

That's generous.

It's tasty but who eats like you do?

I finally got my treat.

I must not let it go to waste.

What's wrong?

My stomach hurts so much.

Have a seat.

Are you having indigestion?
Should I take you to the hospital?

No.

I guess I've been too tired lately.

It must be stomach flu.

I might be fine after some sleep.

That won't do.

Wait here. I'll get you medicine.

No need…

Do you have gastric pills?

Thank you.

QUANYI HEALTH PHARMACY

This is for abdominal bloating.

This one is for stomach colds.

This is to help with digestion.

What are your symptoms?

You should've asked first
before buying them.

I was too anxious to get you the medicine.

Which one is it?

Here, take your medicine.

Thank you.

RUOXIN

Does your stomach still hurt?

Shen Ruoxin!

Shen Ruoxin!

Are you okay, Shen Ruoxin?

Open the door!

Shen Ruoxin, answer the phone!

Give me the passcode!

Six, nine…

Six, nine, zero, seven, two, zero.

Okay.

Shen Ruoxin!

What's wrong?

It hurts so much.

Hang in there.

I'm taking you to the hospital.

Here.

It's okay. Come on.

Sir, please drive faster.

Okay.

-It hurts.
-Sir, please hurry.

Faster, okay?

-Okay.
-We're almost there.

BLUE LEAGUE

Doctor.

-What's wrong?
-Her stomach hurts so much

-that she can't stand up.
-Over here.

-This way.
-Okay.

Here.

Lie down here.

-What's wrong with her?
-All right. Please wait outside.

Please wait outside. I need to check.

SECTION A
RESUSCITATION AREA

Who's Shen Ruoxin's family?

Doctor, I am.

How is she now?

The patient has acute appendicitis.

-Does she need surgery right away?
-Yes.

We need her family's consent
for the surgery.

I'll sign it.

Are you the patient's brother?

No, I'm her boyfriend.

Her parents can't be reached.

What's wrong? I can't?

-Ask for the patient's authorization.
-Okay.

Doctor, her current condition,

is the surgery dangerous?

We do minimally invasive surgery
for appendicitis.

It's a little expensive,
but all surgeries involve risks.

Even minimally invasive surgery?

It's still surgery.

The patient agreed. You can sign it.

SIGNATURE OF
PATIENT'S AUTHORIZED RELATIVE

QI XIAO

Doctor, how did the surgery go?

It's a small surgery.
It was a success. Don't worry.

She'll be discharged in a few days.

Thank you.

This patient just had surgery
so she's still under anesthesia.

She can only have a small amount
of liquid diet these days.

Raw, oily, and spicy food,

avoid all of those.

No smoking and no drinking.

Okay, I'll remember that. Thank you.

Be careful. Slowly.

Be careful. Slowly.

You're still here?

You scared me.

You're such a coward.

If you don't feel well,
you shouldn't hold it in.

You have to go to the hospital right away.
Do you hear me?

What's with the attitude?

Does it still hurt?

Just sleep if you are drowsy.
I'll be here.

Stay still.

Mind your wound.

Be careful.

I'll raise it for you.

Is that okay?

I brought you breakfast.

You didn't sleep at all?

I took a nap. Don't worry.

Did you apply for leave?

It's done.

Rest well.

I finally understand

why your mom keeps nagging
about your irregular lifestyle.

You can be her son then.

If you last a week, I'll let you win.

I'm serious.

Acute appendicitis might be
caused by stomach flu.

Here.

I can feed myself.

Just behave and eat, wounded comrade.

It's not hot, is it?

Your boyfriend is so sweet.

If he didn't bring you here
in time last night,

it's troublesome
if appendicitis aggravates.

He stayed with you all night
and doesn't complain at all.

He went out to buy breakfast
before sunrise

and complained about our hospital's food.

Miss--

You authorized it yesterday
so that I can sign off as your boyfriend.

If you deny it now,

I'll bear legal liabilities.

Miss.

My girlfriend has
a really irregular lifestyle.

When she's busy,
she only grabs a few bites.

When she has time to eat,
she only eats spicy food.

Shouldn't she be disciplined?

-Is your stomach quite weak?
-Yes.

After the surgery,

your boyfriend kept asking
the doctor questions

and specific details.

He's way more attentive than you.
Don't ignore his advice.

Did you hear that?

I didn't make it up.

Take this 30 minutes after the meal.

Okay, thank you.

Take care of your girlfriend.

Did you gang up with the nurse
to discipline me?

I'm innocent.

How is that disciplining you?

I am obviously…

Just a boyfriend
who cares about his girlfriend.

You want to get hit?
How dare you take advantage of your boss?

At work, you are the boss.

In the hospital, you are just a patient.

Here.

Hurry up.

Drink some water.

You didn't tell my mom, did you?

No. It was too late last night.

Your mom's traveling,
so she can't make it back.

She'll only worry if I tell her.

You wouldn't want her to worry, right?

You are quite thoughtful.

Right.

As for the campus campaign,
you should check on it.

I'm fine here.

Call me if anything comes up.

Okay.

Give Ziyan a call.
I'll leave when she gets here.

No, it's just an appendicitis surgery.

It's no big deal. I'm fine.

No way. I'll leave when she gets here.

Why are you so stubborn?

Do you know how important
the campaign is to us?

Nothing is more important than you, okay?

Shen Ruoxin,
why don't you put yourself first?

You don't need to be taken care of?
Are you Superman or Spider-Man?

You are now a patient.

Can't you understand
that you are a patient?

I'll call her later.

If I call her, she'll come right away.

You can leave first.

Call her right now.

Have some water.

Take a look first.

GIFT REDEMPTION COUNTER

What's the matter?
Why aren't we getting any sales?

I just got a call from the company.

Two sales representatives suddenly
took annual leave, so they couldn't come.

Why did they pick this day?

Qi Xiao, if anyone wants
to sign a contract,

can I just let them sign up for pre-order?

Okay, thank you.

I'll handle it.

Ruoxin.

Both sales representatives are
suddenly off today.

Neither came.
Isn't it too much of a coincidence?

How can that be?

Mr. Liu must be behind this.

What should we do now?

Should I tell them to cancel their leave?

Wait for my call.

Handle the event
and wait for me at the office.

Okay.

XU MINJIE

-Hello?
-Hello, Mr. Xu?

What is it?

The new energy vehicle's campus campaign
is doing pretty well.

That's why I would like to ask

if you can offer our sales representatives

a higher incentive?

How much higher?

I think…

How about raising 1%?

Yes.

But

it's only for the campaign.

Thank you, Mr. Xu.

What's wrong, dear?

Why are you in the hospital?
What did the doctor say?

Yes, it's just appendicitis.
A small surgery.

You are hospitalized,
yet you are still on the phone.

You sure are worth hiring.
Is this an occupational hazard?

I'm working. What can I do?

That kid sure nags a lot today.

Who is it?

Qi Xiao?

He made me call you.

He got mad at me when you didn't show up.

He acts like he's my boss.

This kid, Qi Xiao really cares about you.

I'm his boss.

If I die,

what's in it for him?

You are a sickly kitty now.

Who's protecting whom?

I have to answer a call.

Hello?

Are you at the company?

Okay.

Listen carefully.

Go to Mr. Liu's office right now.

Get him to assign sales representatives.

He won't agree
and will make all sorts of excuses.

But it's okay.

Just make him agree that

as long as the sales representatives
are willing, he'll approve.

Go straight to the Sales Department.

Mr. Xu already agreed to my request.

During the campaign,
the sales representatives

who sold out cars for us
will get an extra 1% in incentive.

Money talks.

Okay, I understand.

Mr. Liu.

May I come in?

-Mr. Liu.
-What's the matter?

Mr. Liu.

The New Energy Department

is doing a campus campaign for a few days.

Our assigned sales representatives
are taking annual leave.

They can't make it.

What a coincidence?

How can you sell cars
without sales representatives?

Indeed.

That's why I came here
to ask for your help.

Ms. Shen had
acute appendicitis surgery yesterday.

She's still in the hospital.

I'm holding the fort alone.

It's hard to accomplish anything.

Ms. Shen was hospitalized? How is she?

The surgery went well.

She just has to be observed
for a few days.

Okay.

It's good that she's fine.

Mr. Liu, be careful, it's hot.

All right. Get back to work.

Mr. Liu.

I would like to borrow a few
sales representatives from you.

That's a problem.

KPI is really important
in the Sales Department.

Mr. Ma came to me a few days ago

about recruiting a few more
sales representatives.

How about this?
Once I'm done with my work,

I'll check with the Sales Department.

They might be able to help.

Mr. Liu.

The new energy vehicles they sell
also count as their sales.

They also count as their sales?

Look at the sales
of your new energy vehicles.

I can't pry into
what the Sales Department prefer

or don't prefer to sell.

It's normal if they turn down
such a difficult task.

Yes, you are right.

I checked with the Sales Department.

They all seem reluctant.

Since you worked your way up from sales,

your words must carry some weight
in the Sales Department.

Even if they don't want to,
you just say the word

and I'm sure a few will agree to it.

The company is all about sales.

It's about KPI.

Even my words might not work.

What should I tell Mr. Xu then?

Mr. Xu seems

to have just reported to the chairman

about our series of campaigns.

You've mentioned both of your bosses.

Fine, listen up.

Don't say that I've hindered
the new energy campaign.

Tell the Sales Department that

if they want to do it, I'm fine with it.

That's great.

Mr. Liu,

I've asked around.

Make a few calls and get them involved.

Qi Xiao, this is as far as I can go.

You are on your own.
Close the door on your way out.

Thank you for your support, Mr. Liu.

Goodbye, Mr. Liu.

Everyone, the New Energy Department

is holding a campus campaign
for a few days.

We need a few people at the venue.

Will any of you join us?
Mr. Liu has agreed to it.

Qi Xiao.

Look how busy everyone is.
No one can make time.

Look at this.

We all have missions and plans.

We have to top it.

Didn't we just have the October 1st sales?

It's still early for
Double 11 and Spring Festival sales.

It's the off-season now.

There might not be any clients
even if you wait around.

Waiting around is better

than working for nothing, right?

What if we wait and get a good catch?

Well,

anyone who helps out at
the campus campaign for a few days,

for every car you sell,

you get 1% more than the incentive you get
from a traditional vehicle.

You don't have the power to do that?

Ms. Shen doesn't either?

-That's right.
-Right.

It's Mr. Xu's exclusive deal.

A few teachers

already signed it the other day.

There are so many intellectuals
in the school.

They do have a different understanding
of new energy vehicles.

Let me make myself clear.

It's a rare opportunity. Just this once.

-I'm free.
-Take me with you.

-I love playing basketball in school.
-I can go with you, okay?

Take me with you.

Aren't you busy?

How can you go if you are busy?

We should support
our company's new product, right?

Even if we are busy,
we have to make time for it.

-You are busy? Go ahead.
-Exactly!

-Let's go.
-Yes, take us with you.

-We can go by ourselves.
-You are always busy.

I was actually going to tell you that day.

That early learning center

wants me to teach drums.

The job

is pretty good.

I'm just hesitant.

Why are you hesitating?

You don't have to go
to the bar during the day.

Also, you don't have to teach every day.

The thought of teaching children

makes me cringe.

I think I'm allergic to kids.

What?

My wound hurts. You're allergic to kids?

Why are you allergic to kids?

Didn't you grow up as a kid?

What's so hard about that?

Just teach them what you learned.

Kids these days

are different from how we were young.

Haven't you seen those kids out there?

When things don't go their way,
they cry and scream.

I really want to shut them up.

Isn't it better than an adult
who has to fake a smile all day?

Now that you mentioned it,

I feel like

the older you get,
the more aggrieved you are.

Don't worry. It won't be a problem.

What's so scary about kids?

Just teach them what you learned.

It's going to be fine.

Just think, kids who learn the drums
can't be too young.

You can do it.

We'll see.

My life as an employee is back.

Sijia.

Hello? Are you in the hospital?

Which hospital?

I'll visit you after work.

Thank you, Sijia.

Can you stop by my house before you come?

Get me some clean clothes.

I'll text you my passcode right now.

No problem.

Ruoxin.

About the additional agreement
for the ad you proposed,

Mr. Ruan is holding on to it.

It hasn't been processed.

Qi Xiao came to urge me again.

But I don't dare to urge Mr. Ruan.

Regarding this matter,
I still want to inform you.

Okay, I understand.

Look at how busy you are.

You should go. Don't stay with me.

Aren't you getting the bar
some new utensils? I'm fine.

I'll get going then.

Go on.

-Be careful on the way.
-All right.

Qi Xiao.

Did you settle the sales issue?

It's okay. Three of them went over.

I'll be on my way too.

Hold on.

Sijia just called me

-about the ad's additional agreement.
-That's right.

Didn't she say it's still processing?

It's definitely not in the process.

This is clearly a way to buy time.

Next, it's Double 11,
New Year's Day, and Spring Festival,

the three best-selling seasons.

The advertisers need to come up with
three proposals at once.

It's a lot of work.

They can't keep waiting for our agreement.

If we miss the timing,

there will be no budget
for our new energy product.

We are really going to miss out
on the best sales season.

That's such a sly tactic.

Sure, I'll find a way to urge them.

Make sure you get
the agreement signed today.

Get it delivered to them
before they clock out.

Okay.

You're mapping out strategies
from miles away.

Does it feel great?

It's not bad.

Come in.

Mr. Ruan.

What is it?

The New Energy Department's
additional agreement with the advertiser.

When will it get processed?

Is there another problem?

Can we get it signed today?

You see,

it's peak season right now.

There are lots of big collaborations
in the company's events.

We are totally swamped
at the Legal Department.

Yours is a…

A supplementary agreement, right?

Let me finish what I'm doing first.

Mr. Ruan.

Since ours is just

a simple supplementary agreement,

Take a look at ours first.

Everything…

There's an order to things.

Shouldn't there be priorities?

Qi Xiao, you used to be
in the Legal Department.

How can you not know that?

Mr. Ruan.

Why are you making things
difficult for a nobody like me?

As you know,

Mr. Xu is promoting
the new energy vehicle.

Mr. Liu wants to hold on
to the traditional vehicles.

One is powerful
with the support of the chairman,

the other is the local head
of the East China region.

In the fight between the best,

it's us, the minions that suffer.

If they end up fighting each other

without falling out,

won't they still make us the scapegoats

to take the blame?

We work so hard.

What wrong have we done?

Right?

Mr. Liu has been
with the company for years.

Everyone respects him.

We all want him to do well.

After two years,

he can retire glamorously.

But we should appease Mr. Xu as well.

You know that, right?

Mr. Xu is already angry
with the previous slope in the sales.

If this ad campaign goes wrong again,

he's definitely going to…

sacrifice someone.

Mr. Xu is the youngest senior partner

in Zenpro Group.

He's also the chairman's favorite.

I can't afford to offend him.

Mr. Ruan, please do me a favor.

Spare my life, will you?

Qi Xiao, you…

It's just a supplementary agreement.

It's no big deal. I'll get it done today.

Thank you, Mr. Ruan. You are a great help.

-Go ahead. I'll pick it up after work.
-Okay.

Let me take a look first.

Right.

Qi Xiao, come.

Have a seat.

Have a seat.

Qi Xiao.

I think you're absolutely right.

When the best fight, the minions suffer.

That's right.

We are both just part-timers.

This matter…

By the way,

I heard that

Ms. Shen is sick?

Yes.

This is…

-Please send her my regards.
-Okay.

Tell her not to work too hard

and take good care of herself.

Health is the most important thing.

If she needs any help,

she can talk to me.

I'll help if I can.

Sure, no problem.

I'll surely relay the message.

Thank you, Mr. Ruan.

You're welcome.

You don't have to come over later.

I'll get this done right away
and ask You Sijia to deliver it to you.

No problem. Thank you, Mr. Ruan.

See you, Mr. Ruan.

It's just work. You're welcome.

-Go.
-Thank you, Mr. Ruan.

-Mr. Ruan, please go ahead.
-Okay, bye.

-You can leave the door open.
-Okay.

Thank you, Mr. Ruan.

I only analyzed
our company's structure to Ruan Ye.

I didn't need to sound tough.

He already knows what to do.

I didn't expect you to threaten Ruan Ye.

I don't believe someone like Ruan Ye
is loyal to Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu is over 50 years old.

He might retire anytime.

Look at Mr. Xu, he's in his prime.

I don't believe
that he doesn't have his own plans.

I thought you were a kid.

I didn't expect you to be
quite a good judge of character.

Ruoxin.

I usually don't want to think about

those troublesome matters.

But you are hospitalized,

I have to take care of things
for you at the company

so you can rest with ease.

Hold on.

Sijia, were you looking for me?

No.

Please press the 13th floor.

Sijia.

I have something to tell you.

That day,

I said a lot of harsh things to you.

It's because I offended a client
and I got a complaint.

I was so upset and depressed.

I thought that

I'd be fired very soon.

It doesn't matter.

Sijia.

-What are you doing?
-I have to come clean to you.

I'm afraid I'll get back
to being that timid Su Yang.

That day,

I offended a client

because he wanted me to draw a cat image.

I refused.

I got scolded by my boss.

When you've been ignoring me,

I've thought it through.

I'm afraid to leave Shanghai.

It's not just because

Shanghai is a big city
with a lot of opportunities.

But it's because…

You're in Shanghai.

I don't know if I'll get another chance.

But…

I want to tell you that

I've always liked you.

I'm sorry.

Can you give me another chance?

SAD, MEANINGLESS LIFE

We're not getting off. You can come in.

The eighth floor, please.

I just had porridge

for three meals a day.

I'm already nauseous from it.

Listen to me.

The doctor said
you can only have porridge now.

But I bought you pork floss today.

I'll add a bit more in.

Add less. I'm on a diet.

All right.

I'll feed myself.

Slowly.

Why are you staring at me like that?

I'm not.

Eat up.

You can't even stay quiet
while having porridge.

Stay still.
