[Mr. Bad]

[Episode 17]

Mr. Lu,

I thought you weren't here...

I'm here to deliver

this week's schedule to you.

Those meetings that require

your attendance are remarked.

Leave it here.

Have you not

gone home

since the PEN congress?

Is there a meeting for me and Miss Ye today?

Yes, there is one at 11am.

Boss,

is there something

happened between

that friend of yours and Miss Ye?

If he's not in a good condition,

I could postpone

the meeting.

Can't you tell

my current condition?

I will attend the meeting.

Cancel all other work.

Sure.

I don't mind all the things you just said.

But I do.

Are you that unsure of me?

Let's pretend nothing

has happened today, okay?

During the PEN congress, we discovered that

most of the authors

very much emphasize

Mr. Lu's opinion.

Hence, we hope that

Mr. Lu could judge on

those shortlisted pieces

other than just

the Grand Prize.

Will you have the time

for it, Mr. Lu?

Do you mean top four for shortlisted pieces?

Yes.

What do you think?

Four pieces

and a Grand Prize.

Review volume is somewhere

around two hundred thousand words.

Is that okay?

I want to know why.

We're talking about the New Star Program.

I want to know why

you think it will fail.

The president's office will verify

Mr. Lu's schedule this week.

He has a

film revision meeting to attend.

After verification,

arrange that with Mr. Shi.

Miss Ye.

Hi.

Mr. Lu.

I know what you want to say.

But I can't pretend

nothing's ever happened.

You didn't go home last night right?

I'll order company's driver to send you home.

I don't need it.

Alright then.

I will take my time off.

I'll rest for a few days.

I'll be back after you get yourself together.

I don't permit your time off.

If you keep on being like this today

in front of our colleagues,

how can we

continue working together?

That is

not what I want, working with you.

What is it then?

You want me to resign?

I'm fine with that.

But please don't overcomplicate

things further.

Other than the Grand Prize,

shortlisted pieces

will also be reviewed by Mr. Lu.

Remember to follow up on that.

And this is our...

Miss Ye.

Hello, Miss Ye.

Summarise those projects

that I'm involved with from

president's office's side,

including all details and send them to me.

Miss Ye, you're involved with

all the projects here.

Send me all of them then.

Alright.

Mr. Shi,

you're happened to be here.

Please sort out all those

progress details of Physical Book Project from

Editorial Department and send them to me.

Alright.

I hope that could be done

and sent to my mailbox

before dismiss.

Thanks, everyone.

Alright.

Alright.

Nan Xing.

Come with me.

You want to see Xiao Wudi alone?

Yes.

I want to talk to him

about the script.

But his number

isn't on our contact list.

Could you schedule it for me?

Of course.

Is there anything else?

You can get back to your work now.

Sure.

Nan Xing,

what's the matter with Miss Ye?

Nothing.

Could you...

I'm searching for the material.

Could you search for the form

for me as well?

This is for Circulation Department right?

Yes, and this is for Publicity Department.

Yes, for Publicity Department as well.

Hello.

Hello, is this Mr. Xiao?

We're calling from the bank.

No, you had the wrong number.

Goodbye.

Don't hang up.

I'm just kidding.

Why didn't you pick up my joke?

You call me this late,

can't I complain a little?

[Where is the late?]

[It's not even lunch hour yet.]

[I thought,]

[with how much]

[you miss me,]

you could only hold for an hour.

I need to work.

It's not so good

to call personal number during working hours.

And I need to feed you,

a boyfriend who doesn't work.

I have to work even harder.

I'll tell you what.

You

don't have to work hard for too long.

What do you mean?

I have prepared you

a surprise.

What surprise?

If I tell now,

will that still be a surprise?

[Are you available tomorrow morning?]

Why?

You want to date me?

For a trip?

Sure thing.

[No.]

[It's Miss Ye.]

She wants to talk to you about the script.

Date me?

[Yes, and it's one on one]

without me.

I'm telling you.

My boss seems to be feeling

a little gloomy today.

[He seems to have had a fight with Miss Ye.]

[Then, Miss Ye wants to]

[date you alone.]

I think it's kind of weird.

Do you think

I should go and ask about it?

You don't need to ask him.

You'd better not speak a word

[with Lu Zichen,]

[except for communication]

[regarding work.]

Hi, Mr. Lu.

I'm just kidding.

That's really funny.

Alright.

About meeting with Ye Qing,

you can help me proceed.

It's most probably

about the contract.

You don't have to worry.

We will go together tomorrow morning.

Okay, that's it then.

I'll tell her that you said okay.

Today,

I won't have the time

to lunch with you.

I'm a little busy today.

Then, how about

you come fetch me tonight?

I want to take you to a place.

I'll check my schedule again.

It's fine without unexpected events.

You wait and see.

I'll surprise you.

Sure.

Bye bye.

Bye bye.

Surprise?

Xiao Wudi, you...

Finally, you're off from work.

What are you searching for?

My surprise.

Didn't you say

you prepared me a surprise?

Where is it?

So impatient of you.

Birth certificate?

Where did you get it from?

I photoshopped it myself.

You photoshopped what?

This is illegal.

Once I have this,

I can register an account.

I can register for an ID.

Then?

Then, I could

take the college entrance exam.

Try to think.

With my intelligence and wisdom,

I could effortlessly

get into any famous university.

Just give me some time.

Don't you fancy this company?

I'll spend another three to five years

to tackle into the company.

Lu Zichen and Ye Qing

would be kicked out by my capability for sure.

The company

will be ours to rule then.

You can do whatever you want.

No, definitely no.

How can you think that way?

What are you laughing at?

I knew you wouldn't agree.

I was just kidding.

I would definitely not do that.

With my intelligence,

I could find a work out there.

Those university professor

positions

are within easy reach.

Or I will sacrifice a little

and enter the entertainment industry.

Don't you worry.

I will definitely

be responsible for

our better future.

Unexpectedly,

you've been so thoughtful for me.

However,

I must delete this one

because it's illegal.

Done, it's deleted.

I photoshopped whole day for it.

You don't need it.

Don't worry.

I'll take care of you.

Let's go. I'll take you to

a special place.

Look.

That classroom right there

was where I had my classes.

I used to

pass by this corridor everyday.

Those days, I was so envious of

those who could be in a relationship

in school.

There is even a love holy land

in our school.

It's a lotus pond.

It's over there.

There were many

little ducks in the pond.

There were two little ducks

which always stuck together everyday.

I even gave them

a name.

I named one as Wang,

another as Ba.

Because together

it means idiot.

Why were you that naughty?

I was thinking

that I must fall in love.

So I could

circle around the pond

with the one I adore

everyday,

and chit chat at the same time.

If we could

circle five rounds each day,

then we could circle

1825 rounds in a year.

1825?

How could you have so much

to talk about?

Isn't falling in love meant to

have limitless topics to talk about?

But that was just a fantasy anyway.

By far,

I did not circle even one round.

So let's go circle then.

Sure.

Where is pond?

Why is it filled in?

It's okay.

Let us

visit your classroom then.

We're almost there.

That's the classroom.

The room isn't locked.

Look.

This is the classroom

I used to have classes in.

So big.

55, 56, 57,

58,59.

This is the row.

59 is my student number.

So I used to

sit here everyday.

This is the seat?

Who was sitting beside you?

It's the

student number 50.

There was

a boy classmate that time

who was the English class representative,

he used to

assign English homework

on the blackboard everyday.

But he always

put a letter "U"

at the end of the sentence.

None of us understood

what it meant.

Until the graduation day,

we all understood.

What did it mean?

On the graduation day,

he confessed to the girl he liked.

The girl's name was

Lin Xinyou.

Did they get together?

They were together after the confession.

[Nan Xing]

[Nan Xing]

What do you think?

[Xiao Wudi, Nan Xing]

What do you think?

What are you guys doing here so late at night?

[Xiao Wudi, Nan Xing]

Why so early?

You must be earlier than punctual

when you're meeting someone.

It's all because of you.

Are you awake yet?

Wake up.

It's still early.

Miss Ye shouldn't be here yet.

You wait here downstairs for awhile.

Sure.

You can head to work.

I'll walk around here myself.

Then I will go up and meet her myself.

Remember to find me after the meeting then.

Bye bye.

Come in.

Have a seat.

I'm sorry.

This is for someone else.

Mr. Xiao,

as you have seen at the PEN congress,

of all the shortlisted authors,

the only collaborators

are you and Nan Xing.

So I wish to know more about

the relationship between you both.

Including the sharing of work and profit.

Regarding this matter,

Nan Xing should be able to handle right?

Why did you make me come all the way here?

Because you're a smart man.

So I would like to be frank with you.

I know very well of

Nan Xing's creativity level.

A piece

like Mr. Bad,

is completely original to Nan Xing

both in terms of writing style and emotion.

So I personally hope that

we could

add profit sharing terms

onto our contract

in the future.

This way we could ensure that

Nan Xing gets what she deserves.

From what you said,

you're worried that

I might take advantage of Nan Xing?

I reckon with Nan Xing's personality,

most probably

she wouldn't talk to you about the money in advance.

So this is why I

need to avoid the risk in advance.

[She's quite considerate of Nan Xing.]

What if I

really wanted to take advantage of her

and refused to sign a contract with you,

what would you do about it?

Then, I would

use document comparison way

to kick you out.

I have a piece here

written by Nan Xing

before she joined the company.

We only need to do a comparison

to discover that

your contribution isn't significant.

Xingchen's Love Story.

I asked Nan Xing before.

This script's main male character

is also based on you.

But you're a villain

in the novel.

[If Lu Zichen is the great man]

[who brings light and hopes]

[to the world,]

[then this person]

[would be the evil hidden in the abyss]

[who peeps into the world.]

[He is a demon who plays]

[innocent lives by his hands,]

[a thorn that pierces hearts.]

[He's your omnipresent fear.]

[Someone once said,]

[if this person is kind-hearted,]

[then it's a blessing to the world.]

[Nan Xiaoxing] [He is the Young Master Hehuan,]

[Xiao Wudi.]

You said

this is written by Nan Xing before she entered

the company?

Any problem with that?

I used to write fan fiction.

All of a sudden, I need to write

original novel.

I don't know what to write at all.

Wait.

You can write novel?

Why didn't you show it to me?

The novels I write are all about romance.

You wouldn't like it.

It's very similar to

the first movie

that we watched today.

Mr. Xiao.

Xiao Wudi.

Xiao Wudi.

Xiao Wudi, what's wrong with you?

What did Miss Ye tell you?

Is it something wrong

with our novel?

Who am I actually?

You are Xiao Wudi.

Before you summoned me,

you already knew who I am, right?

So I didn't actually travel here,

did I?

Xiao Wudi,

listen to me.

I...

I'm only

a fictional character.

I'm a villain in the novel

that you wrote.

I'm a

notorious evil boss, right?

When you thought

you were someone who travelled here

from the ancient times,

I did actually think of explaining to you.

But I was too afraid at that moment.

I worried that

you would be the same as I wrote you.

So I did not say anything.

After that, I forgot

about it.

Then...

I didn't purposely

hide it from you or try to deceive...

Stop talking.

I'm a little messed up now.

Leave me alone for now.

Xiao Wudi, listen to me...

I can't look at you now.

[Before you summoned me,]

[you already knew who I am, right?]

I...

I'm only

a fictional character.

I'm a villain in the novel

that you wrote.

I am a

notorious evil boss, right?

[Xiao Wudi,]

[I didn't mean to lie to you.]

[Nan Xing, come see me.]

Come in.

Miss Ye, how can I help you?

Have a seat.

I know that

you collaborate with

Xiao Wudi.

You guys are quite close.

I also can tell that

he's a very smart person.

He does things in

an usual way.

But when I showed him

Xingchen's Love Story

that you wrote,

his reaction told me

that I might be

misunderstand the relationship between you guys.

Are you both...

No.

That

is a trap

that I set for myself.

Am I a little interfering?

What can I do to...

You're fine, Miss Ye.

I

actually did

interfere you as well,

about you and Mr. Lu.

He kept asking me,

so I...

I already knew about this.

You knew?

I haven't told you any of that.

By observing the things he's done

and your reaction,

I've guessed it.

I'm sorry, Miss Ye.

However, Mr. Lu

really cares about you.

He's worked very hard behind the scene.

I know.

I won't blame you for this.

Don't worry about it.

By the way,

I actually wanted to help you

finalize the collaboration between you and Xiao Wudi

before I resign.

But I didn't expect to...

You...

You said you're about to resign?

But...

If you left, how would the company...

How could the company run?

It's no problem.

Company will be fine no matter who leaves.

You guys are still here, aren't you?

By the way,

please keep this a secret for me,

okay?

How could I keep it a secret?

How could I keep...

I don't know how.

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

No more beauty if you cry.

You're not cute anymore if you cry.

You're becoming ugly.

[So]

[I'm only a fictional character in the novel.]

[I don't actually exist]

[in this world.]

[How about Hehuan Palace?]

[How about Master?]

Because I

didn't have parents since little,

so my Master

adopted me since then.

I've been staying in the Hehuan Palace

with him since little.

At least at that time,

I considered myself in a family.

[So everything about me]

[doesn't actually exist.]

Xiao Wudi, are you home?

Tell me if you're in there.

I'm really worried about you.

Mother, I'm home.

You're back.

[No.]

[I still don't know]

[how to face you.]

I prepared seafood feast for you.

You ordered a cake?

It's so adorable.

It can just be our dessert.

This is not for you.

Who is it for then?

Someone gave it to me.

So I can't have it?

No.

You can eat my stuff,

why can't

I eat yours?

Someone ordered me to keep it for him.

You can't eat it as well?

Okay then, forget it.

Wash your hands and let's have dinner.

Mother, I'm not eating.

I've already had my meal.

I want to go for a walk.

What about the seafood feast?

Why is he not back yet?

Will he take it too hard?

He won't.

He's not that foolish.

I can't look at you now.

But we can't stay apart forever, right?

I'm sorry, miss.

I'm sorry, miss.

What are you looking at?

I'm not punishing her.

I just don't know

how to speak to her.

What do you want me to do then?

It's not her fault as well.

Also,

I didn't ask her to

wait me over there.

I told her

that I don't want to see her.

She insisted to stay there for me.

Can you blame me for it?

[What is she doing there?]

Doudou,

let's get back the mask from miss.

Miss, can you return

his mask?

Return me the mask.

Can you

lend it to me for a while longer?

No.

Nan Xing,

why are you wearing the mask?

I... I'm waiting for someone.

Who would wait for someone this way?

I know, you're waiting for Tang Sanzang.

Sun Wukong waits for Tang Sanzang.

Who is Tang Sanzang?

Tang Sanzang is...

Where is Tang Sanzang?

Master!
