[Stand or Fall]

[Episode 18]

Colleagues, calm down. Let me say a few words.

- Come on. - Okay.

Director Yu is not here today.

He specifically asked us to celebrate Lin Hao.

No, that's not right.

We should call him Deputy Director Lin now, right?

Yes, that's right.

Congratulations. Congratulations.

Deputy Director Lin. A toast to you.

Come on.

We are brothers. Come.

- Good. Cheers. - Okay.

Cheers.

- Great. Good capacity for liquor. - You guys join us, too.

Lin Hao, you aren't even 35 this year, are you?

His future is very bright.

- Yes. - He's young and promising.

Deputy Director Lin, please help us in the future.

Come on now.

In the future, I'm still looking forward to everyone to support me in my work.

Don't worry.

- We'll have your back. - Right.

- Come on, Deputy Director Lin. A toast to you. - Come.

I heard Lin Hao managed to beat Xiao Zhang from Media Assets,

- because someone talked to the higher-ups to make it a fair competition. - Let's do it again!

Come on.

Surprisingly, Lin Hao is quite capable.

Okay. One by one.

A toast to you, Deputy Director Lin.

Mrs. Wang.

Lisa.

Sweetheart, I'm going to say hi to her. You go inside first.

All right.

Long time no see.

Right. What a coincidence!

I was not able to see you off when you resigned.

You know what? After you left, my husband lost his right-hand man.

You don't have to pretend anymore.

There's no audience.

Come on. Why are you so blunt?

I really hope for you to have a better place to be.

I know you have something to do with this.

But I should thank you.

You found me a better place to be.

Then I'd like to wish Miss Lisa a bright future.

Mrs. Wang, I'm not someone to ever force others to do things against their own will.

I just want to change my life.

From your point of view,

of course, you wouldn't think it's wrong.

Wang Liren is a good man.

Cherish him.

I've booked a venue for tomorrow's department event.

Do you want to play soccer together?

The girls won't go.

- We have to go home to the kids. - That's right.

What a bummer!

Xiao Yun, you don't have a boyfriend, so you must come with us.

You should be our cheerleader. Isn't that right?

Sure.

I'll go.

Good.

Deputy Director Lin. Come with us.

I...

Honey, honey, come back now. I need you.

I won't go.

I have something to do tomorrow.

Who else will play as the striker?

Who should play as striker?

- We can't win. - How? You can't let him do it.

Why did you call me back?

Honey. I can't find my ID card. Help me find it.

All right. Calm down.

Think about where you put it last time.

Where did it go?

You've always put away my ID card for me.

If you don't help me find it, I won't be able to find it myself.

Where is my ID card?

Congratulations. You got promoted to Deputy Director at such a young age.

Have you heard about it?

- Actually, I... - You don't have to explain to me.

I believe that with your ability,

you can still get promoted without your girlfriend's dad.

In my heart, you're always the best.

Yunyun, thank you.

Yunyun, I'll come play soccer tomorrow.

- You're going to play soccer? - Yes.

I just won the promotion.

My colleagues organized some activities.

I have to take an active part in it.

I can't isolate myself from the masses.

Did you apply cologne?

Yes.

I'm worried I'll sweat.

There are several new movies released this weekend. I wanted you to watch them with me.

I'll come find you tonight after the soccer match.

Where's your soccer field? I'll come to you later.

It's too far away. Don't.

Find a restaurant for tonight and order the food.

Then, choose the movie you like and wait for me.

Then...

What's the rush?

Here!

Pass it here.

Steal it.

Block the ball.

Dribble! Pass!

Dribble!

Nice one!

Thanks.

- A volley is nice. - You tried the volley?

I tried the volley!

- Here. - Thanks. Thanks.

Thanks. Thanks.

Lin Hao, here.

Thank you.

My goodness. Sorry.

Sorry, sorry. It's my fault.

It's all right. I'll take care of it.

- Can you handle it? - I'll be fine.

Ma Chao, you're losing your strength now.

Look at this.

You'll catch a cold.

It's my fault.

I spilled the juice on you.

In a bit...

After the gathering,

there's a hotel next door.

I'll wait for you.

I just came to tell you

that I can't be a homewrecker.

I don't love her at all.

She is lazy and lacks ambition.

I regret being with her. I'll break up with her.

You are the one I love.

[Wife]

Boss. The mobilization meeting is starting.

Are you trying to make it known that we're not getting along with Lei Kesen?

You go first. I'll be right there.

All right.

Some damned department made hundreds of pages of colored prints this morning.

They used up all the ink.

Then how is Director Lei going to do his report in the meeting later?

How else?

Use the projector.

I'll go set up the meeting room after I get a glass of water.

Hurry up. I'll go ask the IT department to prepare.

All right. Stop pushing us.

All you do is ask us to do the work,

but you're the most eager every time there's a report.

Manager Wang.

You look tired. Did you stay up all night last night?

That's right.

Director Lei wanted us to write out every step.

He said he wanted to show off our capabilities during the mobilization meeting today.

You can do that? He's so creative.

Director Guan, don't tell others.

Don't worry. I won't.

- I... - I'm sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

I... I didn't mean to do it. Let me clean it for you.

Let's give a round of applause to Director Lei and his team.

Thank them for all their hard work during the preparation of the Goddess Festival.

I'm sure everyone knows that Director Lei has given his best this time.

So, he must have a lot of feelings and learning experiences about this.

Now, I want him to share with us his overall vision for the event

and how he implemented it, and his gains and losses.

Luckily, I was prepared.

The printer ran out of ink, and the computer broke down.

That's fine. Everything's fine.

It'll be a 14-day period,

two weeks.

And it includes three weekends.

Three weekends?

No.

A slip of the tongue. Two weekends.

Starts on the 14th and ends on the 29th.

We all know the dates. Just tell me the specific arrangements for the event.

The specific arrangements for the event.

Here's what we think. We should do it gradually.

Divided into two cycles. The first five days are the event's...

The event's...

Entertainment period.

Director Lei, are you feeling not well today?

Well, General Manager Ding,

so today the printer ink cartridges ran out of ink,

so we couldn't print out the materials.

And another thing is that the computer with the PowerPoint is broken, too.

So I suggest that we move the mobilization meeting to this afternoon.

That's fine. Then I can cancel the appointment I have with a client this afternoon.

After all, to learn from Director Lei is the most important thing.

General Manager Ding, it's truly such bad timing.

It doesn't matter.

The formalities don't matter. Just tell us some core information.

There's no way you know anything without the materials, right?

Director Lei, why are you sweating so much? It's nothing difficult, right?

Or did you turn a blind eye to the event planning? Did your subordinates do all the work?

How can you say that, Da Luo?

Director Lei has said himself that he has given the planning for the Goddess Festival his everything.

He works overtime with his team every day. How could he not know about the process?

Apologize to Director Lei.

Sorry, Director Lei. I was wrong. Go on.

Director Lei.

Right.

I admit it.

I'm not well-prepared.

Director Lei.

It seems you need to strengthen your professional ability.

Do you like snail rice noodles?

It's quite appetizing to make one when I'm working overtime.

I seem to have gained some weight recently.

When I was trying to convince Banana Fitness to join us, I joined their gym membership at my own expense.

I should start using that or it'll go to waste.

Boss, what you did today was extraordinary.

He lost face in the mobilization meeting.

We won't hear from him for a while.

He deserves it.

But Boss, wouldn't General Manager Ding blame us for provoking them?

Why would he blame us?

He wants us to find an excuse for him to deal with Lei Kesen. He's a newcomer.

If he tries to take this unprofessional man down without any solid evidence, he'll easily get into trouble.

Now he's fine. We gave him such a huge gift in front of so many people,

and especially when the HR director was there. Shouldn't he show us a favor?

Boss, I have a contract to amend. I'll go upstairs first.

- Goodbye, General Manager Ding and Director Guan. - Bye bye.

She's so fast.

- Hold on. - What can I do for you, General Manager Ding?

I remember I told you that we shouldn't openly engage in conflicts with colleagues in the office.

You're blaming me for other people's mistakes?

Do you think I don't know what you were plotting?

I can't help it. I'm a grudge-holder.

But it turned out that my decision was right.

Shouldn't you thank me?

I reprimanded him in public. Otherwise, how would you have something on him?

So now I owe you a favor?

You're welcome.

What do you want to eat?

- What? - I don't want to owe anyone any more than you do.

So I want to treat you to dinner.

That's too bad. I like the feeling of other people owing me something.

So, keep owing me.

- Hold on. - What's up?

You forgot something.

It's not mine. Why would I eat this?

[Snail Rice Noodles]

- Hello? - You're breaking your promise.

Seriously. Didn't you promise me?

You promised me to go on a blind date.

You didn't even respond to him on WeChat, right?

I'm busy with work, Mom. I can't skip work to meet a man.

Have you eaten? Are you hungry?

Yes, I have. My colleague bought me a nice dinner.

You can't starve yourself.

Then, tell me. When you can...

If you have time...Meet him.

Really. Listen to me. He is a great man.

You have to seize this opportunity.

Got it, Mom.

- Director Lei. - Getting off work?

The Business Development Department really is something.

What?

It seems they didn't include you.

Brother. Guan Wen doesn't see you as one of them.

How could you count the money for someone who betrayed you?

You know what? I won't just let it go.

Mary.

I hope the HR Department can complete the evaluations

for all directors and above positions as soon as possible.

How about this? Send me the information of all the heads of departments.

It's nothing. I just want to review them in advance.

Thanks.

Playing soccer?

You're going to play soccer again?

No.

I'm not upset.

I'm not saying that.

Don't forget to eat.

Don't forget to eat after playing until too late like last time.

Your stomach will hurt again.

I'll hang up now.

- Good morning, Director Guan. - Good morning.

Boss. Which one do you want to eat?

What's this? General Manager Ding bought these. Everyone in the company gets one.

His secretary delivered these early this morning.

She said that General Manager Ding said that everyone has worked hard on the Goddess Festival event lately.

so he's treating everyone to breakfast.

This is the first time I've seen a boss treat his employees to breakfast.

What even are these? They're so plain.

You can't even see a piece of meat.

Forget about those. More importantly, there's a box of snail rice noodles

and they are all for the Business Development Department.

Do you think General Manager Ding has lost his mind?

Right? It's so stinky. No one can eat it.

Isn't that right, Da Luo?

Last time, my friend made me go eat snail noodle hotpot. I almost died there.

You all have nothing to do?

- Boss, about the snail rice noodles... - Send them back.

Da Luo, what's up?

Director Guan asked me to thank General Manager Ding for his kindness.

She's been working out recently and skips breakfast the morning.

It's nothing.

Also,

why did you order so many snail rice noodles to our department?

Do you have any special hobby?

I... I didn't buy this.

- General Manager Ding bought these for... - Xiao Liu.

- General Manager Ding. - Help me sort out the files for the meeting this afternoon.

All right, General Manager Ding.

- General Manager Ding. - Da Luo.

Where is Guan Wen working out?

What?

Pretty girl. You look new here.

Don't come here often?

Can I help you with something?

I'm not trying to do anything. I just saw that your posture was wrong.

You'll hurt your knees, you know?

- What do you mean? - I can teach you.

Sorry.

I don't have the budget to hire a personal trainer.

I am not a personal trainer.

- Look at this. This slope... - What are you doing?

Why are you messing with it?

Come on. Let me show you.

What are you doing?

You know the crime of sexual harassment, right?

You have a boyfriend?

Why are you dressed like that if you have a boyfriend? You're really...

- What are you talking about? - All right, all right.

Why are you chasing after him? Can you beat him?

Besides, you didn't lose out.

You mean to only get back at him if I lost out? Right?

Then should we wait until we're starving to death before we eat?

Hey, do you know the word "gratitude"?

- What are you doing here? - What else can I do at the gym?

Have a good workout then. I'm off.

- I'm going to take a shower. - Hold on.

You don't have breakfast in the morning, right?

That's detrimental to your health.

What did you say?

What would you like to eat in the morning?

You're suddenly so nice to me.

Do you have ulterior motives?

No. I just don't want to owe people anything.

It's definitely not snail rice noodles.

She still mindful of keeping up appearances as always.

With the development of our society,

the marriage relationship has changed too.

Especially for people with a lot of pressure.

Their intimate relationship became a big problem.

What do you think would affect your marriage?

Today, we're going to talk about

the lack of intimacy in a relationship where there seems

to be no major problems.

Ladies, what do you think?

Too busy.

Yes, they're too busy.

Busy? Over 50% of similar married couples gave this answer.

They have high income, high pressure at work,

work social events, and so on.

Among these couples, one or both individuals

often leave early and go home late.

They rarely talk to each other.

In the long run, the couples start to lack communication.

Another common reason

is that many women switch their attention from their husbands to their children after giving birth.

They stop paying attention to maintaining the bond between husband and wife.

So, the first suggestion I want to make

is to have your husband find interest in you again.

If you can't find ways to improve,

I recommend you to find a third-party marriage counselor

to come up with a plan.

[11:15 Pick up Xiao Zhe]

Okay. Let's carry on.

When a couple decides to re-establish a marriage and make a new commitment...

I'm full now.

Xiao Zhe, why don't you eat your vegetables?

I don't like vegetables. I like meat. Meat is delicious.

I like to eat meat, too.

But the vegetables are good for our health.

They provide nutrients.

How about this? I'll eat one then you eat one.

- Let's have a competition, okay? - Okay.

Come on.

- Is it good? - It is.

I'm having my second piece.

Xiao Zhe is really something.

Xiao Zhe ate all the vegetables. You're great!

All right. You're such a good boy, Xiao Zhe.

Go and play.

Over there.

Sexless marriage.

Xiao Liu.

You've spent the whole afternoon here.

You know the dietary preferences of our entire department.

What do you want?

- I shouldn't have ordered the wrong meal. - What meal?

The breakfast the other day.

Is it General Manager Ding's idea again?

General Manager Ding seems to be quite free recently.

A lot of people aside from us didn't eat it. Why do you only mind us?

Could it be...

That this meal... is specially ordered for our department?

Be brave. Remove the words "Could it be."

I didn't say anything.

Right. Where is Director Guan?

General Manager Ding needs to see her.

I think she has an appointment. She left when it was time to go.

All right. Then I'll get back to work.

Thank you.

Miss G-Guan.

You look different from the photo.

I usually look like this.

Those photos were a lie for my mom.

Mr. Chen, do you think I'm ugly?

No. You look good.

But you would look better

if your makeup was a lighter shade.

Really?

Look, you're choking. Here. Let me wipe it for you.

Let me help you.

I can do it myself. Thanks.

Are you usually busy with work?

No, I'm not.

I just muddle along.

I just want to find a man and get married

so that I can be supported by my husband.

When are we going to get our marriage certificate?

What did you say?

Didn't you come on this blind date to get married?

But... But we are...

How much do you earn every month? More than one million yuan a year?

How many cars do you own?

Do you have a wealth management fund?

How many houses do you have?

Also, I can't accept living with my mother-in-law.

I heard you were from a single-parent family.

You have to prepare for your mother's twilight years.

Don't you think you have gone too far?

You don't have to like me.

I am here to meet you with the goal of getting married.

But you don't seem to be taking this very seriously.

- I have to tell Auntie Zhang... - You can't tell her. How am I not taking this seriously?

I made myself so grand. Is this not taking this seriously?

[Da Luo]

Hello?

Boss. General Manager Ding urgently asked us to go back to the company for a meeting.

Right now?

I got it. I'll be right back.

I have something else to attend to. I'll get going then.

You can't go. We haven't finished our conversation yet.

I'm sorry, Mr. Chen. We don't suit each other.

- Hello? - Boss.Have you arrived?

I'm downstairs now.

Boss, you are...

Aren't we having a meeting?

Why is only the Business Development Department here?

Did they run into some more problems with the Goddess Festival

and they want us to clean up the mess?

That's right.

Sorry, everyone. The meeting has been canceled.

Is General Manager Ding all right? He called us here so late at night. Is he messing with us?

I was called back in the middle of eating with someone.

The soup on my gas stove was still simmering.

He's gone too far.

Is General Manager Ding deliberately targeting our department?

Don't you think what he's doing is a bit like...

Lower your voice.

- But it is really similar to what Boss... - The meeting is canceled. Why are you still here?

Are you waiting for me to buy you a midnight snack?

Wang Yake. Double-check the contract with me.

Come on.

Director Guan, your outfit today is quite unique.

- General Manager Ding. You're messing with our department, right? - How can you say that?

I didn't know I would need to suddenly attend a phone conference with a supplier.

If you're so busy, shouldn't you get back to your work?

- Why are you blocking my way? - You are blocking my door.

If you get out of the way, I won't block your door.

I just saw that you were in a tough situation you couldn't get out of,

so I was trying to help.

You saw me at the restaurant?

How did you know you were helping me and not breaking us up?

I just trust your taste.

And in what capacity are you saying this to me?

As the general manager of the mall, or my ex-boyfriend who I broke up with long ago?

Ding Ning. Look at your face.

If I didn't know you, I would think you were jealous.

Thick-skinned.

Thank you. I totally deserve it.

Honey and son. I'm back.

Lower your voice. Xiao Zhe is sleeping.

- Have you had dinner? - Not yet. I want to eat the food you made.

I'll heat the food for you.

- Is it good? - It's so good.

It's been a long time since I saw you doing the dishes.

I can feel the condemnation from your words.

I am condemning you.

How are you going to compensate me?

Honey, I just remembered.

I have a very important meeting tonight. I forgot about it.

Can you finish up here? I have to attend this meeting.

Don't wait for me. Sleep early.

Was Director Guan dressed like that today to see her boyfriend?

Don't talk nonsense.

It's true. I saw it with my own eyes.

But that man is just so-so. Like this.

Really.
