[Shine On Me]

[Adapted from Gu Man's novel, Shine On Me]

[Episode 2]

I graduated from Jiangning University,

with a major in accounting.

During my time at university,

I actively participated

in various club activities and projects,

which significantly enhanced

my teamwork

and leadership skills.

Hold up.

Is this fraud, though?

Four years of college

and I was too lazy for any clubs.

How could

beautifying campus life

be considered fraud?

Fine.

Then ask me a few questions

in English.

Alright.

Shengyuan is a local

real estate company.

Why do you prepare for an English interview?

Just in case.

Wow, you are so well-prepared this time.

But

why are you so serious

for this interview?

Xigua,

why so serious this time?

You're usually Miss Carefree.

Is it because

Zhuang Xu lined up

this interview for you?

Maybe just a bit.

What do you mean?

I was answering your question just now.

I don't want him looking down on me.

But if that's the case,

maybe others think the same way too.

Why would I know?

Anyway, Zhuang Xu

grabbed that résumé and submitted it for you,

so you can't really be blamed

for that.

Still, that day was really strange.

Why did Zhuang Xu submit

a company in Shanghai for you?

Was he hoping you'd end up there?

Quit overthinking.

It only

misleads you.

Every stumble makes you wiser.

Alright.

Even if I pass,

I won't end up

at Shengyuan.

So

why bother?

Because

I have to prove

I can.

I need to prove

coasting is my choice.

The moment I decide to hustle,

I'll crush it.

You're all fired up!

[Shanghai]

[Shengyuan Group]

Miss Nie.

Please, have a seat.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

I was held up for a moment.

It's alright.

Please take a seat.

Have some water.

Thank you.

You came all the way from Nanjing.

That must've been tiring.

It's fine.

No need to be nervous.

Mr. Sheng's already briefed me.

I'll just ask a few questions,

a mere formality.

Mr. Sheng?

[Shengyuan Group] Let's hold off

on issuing perpetual bonds for now

and not be the one

[Sheng Xianmin, Chairman] to stick our neck out.

Let's wait and see how things turn out.

I think so,

[Sheng Xingjie] too.

Shengyuan's current debt ratio

and funding costs

are still quite favorable.

[Sheng Bokai, General Manager]

Now, let's talk about the cooperation project

with Wuxi Yuancheng Group.

I've already

reported this to the Chairman before.

Yuancheng leads

commercial real estate in Jiangsu

and we've partnered

with them plenty.

Now they're

[Sheng Zhongkai, Deputy General Manager] stepping into residential.

They just picked up a plot in Wuxi

and want to team with Shengyuan

to build the city's

first high-end smart community.

The evaluation team

has given preliminary approval

to the joint development proposal.

Here is the assessment report.

Wuxi's per capita GDP

ranks among the top three nationwide.

It has a much higher premium margin

than nearby cities.

The evaluation team believes

this project still holds strong promise.

Nie's got ambition.

Let's hear everyone's thoughts.

I'm in favor.

We've partnered

with Yuancheng before.

Nie Chengyuan

is trustworthy in both character

and ability.

The terms he offered show real sincerity.

And being a local company,

they know the Wuxi market and policies

inside out.

I'd say this collaboration

is a safe bet.

I wouldn't say that.

Nie Chengyuan is nothing

more than a flashy upstart.

There's no substance beneath the shine.

Why should we keep

hyping him up like this?

Speaking of that earlier deal,

Yuancheng's Phase 2 funding

for the Suzhou PV facility expansion

hasn't come through.

What's he like?

Hard to say, really.

Because of the AD/CVD probes in Europe and the U.S.,

everyone knows

what's going on in the PV market

right now.

I was thinking

maybe it's time

we cut our losses.

Yusen,

how do you see

these two issues?

I remember you were

against the expansion last year.

That was in the first half of last year.

Back then, the global PV market

was still booming,

but signs of overcapacity

were already showing.

So I thought

instead of expanding capacity,

it would be better to invest in technology,

sharpen our skills,

and wait for the next opportunity.

But times change.

Now that the expansion is already underway,

and the sunk costs are significant,

we shouldn't hesitate.

On the contrary, we should speed things up,

use the low points in the cycle

to complete the upgrades and expansion

of the production lines.

After all, the new-energy industry

is a national strategic sector,

and its rise is irreversible.

If we

push Yuancheng

and their funding

still isn't in place,

we could consider a capital increase,

which would dilute their shares.

And what about today's deal?

About today,

if your aim

is just to support the younger generation,

doing a bit of charity.

It's fine.

But from a purely business perspective,

I don't see

anything that benefits Shengyuan.

State your reasons.

Wuxi does have strong potential,

but the market lacks real momentum.

And Wuxi's resettlement housing

is relatively high in quality,

which makes commercial housing

clear its inventory more slowly

than in other cities.

That's a real disadvantage

for investors trying to recover funds.

Of course,

Shengyuan can still profit from it.

Just as Mr. Sheng Bokai

said before,

real estate

is full of golden opportunities.

But some are big, and some are small.

Whichever one you pick up

comes with a cost.

And the piece Yuancheng tossed out

is just too small.

Yuancheng

isn't short of big opportunities either.

Just last year,

they made a big splash

by securing a plot in Nanjing.

The expected profit

and cash recovery speed

far outstrip this project.

Yet they kept it to themselves.

Working long-term with a partner

that shows so little sincerity

is just a drain on energy

and brand influence,

while only fueling their own growth.

What's with your nephew today?

He usually

keeps a low profile,

but now he's suddenly so sharp.

The Yuancheng project

is pretty much a nonstarter

for our group,

but it doesn't really get

in Mr. Lin's way.

I think there's something off about it.

Go ask Mr. Nie

if he's got a problem

with Mr. Lin.

I'll give

Nie Chengyuan a call

and find out

how he ended up pissing off my nephew.

Just talking about charity

and helping others grow

is enough

to make the Chairman hesitate.

Who would've thought

that after only a little over a year

in the business,

he, once a surgeon,

speaks like a scalpel,

sharp, precise, and ruthless,

cutting straight to the heart of the matter.

In some ways, he even carries

a bit of the poise his mother had back in the day.

Best watch your words.

[Huaya Bank]

[Shengyuan Group]

Here!

I grabbed you sweet and sour spare ribs,

the standard eight pieces,

and I didn't sneak any.

Thanks.

Here's your runner's fee.

You really know how to play it right.

Xigua,

was your interview smooth?

It's a bit complicated,

not quite what I expected.

Do you have a shot?

Yes,

but

I still need to think it over.

Then that means you've succeeded!

I've got top honors.

Landing an interview at a big company.

Treat us!

Forget it.

We've been dining out non-stop lately,

and I've already packed on some pounds.

Besides,

Xigua hasn't decided

whether to join Shengyuan or not.

No.

We're about to hit the real world,

working our tails off.

So before graduation, eating a bit more

and putting on some weight

totally makes sense.

Gotta meet someone. Catch you later.

You guys take your time.

- Take care. - Bye.

Bye.

I'm done too,

so I'll get going.

Xiguang,

you really weren't thinking

when you said that.

Rong still hasn't gotten a call

from Shengyuan for an interview,

and that's the company she's been dreaming of.

Meanwhile,

you've got the offer,

and you're actually saying you still need to think it over?

My bad.

I didn't think that much at the time.

If you don't want to go back to Wuxi,

Shengyuan's a solid choice.

So what are you thinking?

Nothing much, really.

I've applied

to a few other companies too.

Just want to see how things play out.

Let's go.

Mrs. Zhuang.

The baby bok choy looks really good today.

Yeah,

I'm off to cook.

Go ahead.

Madam.

Rong,

haven't seen you in quite a while.

Come, have a seat.

You're looking prettier than ever.

How's the job search going?

With grades like yours,

doors are wide open.

It's fine.

There's something I'd like

to ask Zhuang Xu's help with.

You two grew up together,

no need to be so formal.

He went grocery-shopping

with Zhuang Fei

and should be back any minute now.

Look, here they are.

Mom.

Rong wants to talk to you.

Rong.

[Zhuang Fei] You should hear her out.

What is it?

Well, I've been

getting lots of interview calls lately,

but none from Shengyuan.

I've been mulling it over for days,

and I just can't get it off my mind.

You have a senior

at Shengyuan, right?

I was hoping you could ask her

why I didn't get an interview.

I don't need you to pull strings.

I just want to figure out

what I'm missing.

[Herman C. E. Liu Memories Library]

0512.

Suzhou?

Hello.

Hello.

This is the HR Department

of Suzhou Shuangyuan Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd.

May I speak to Nie Xiguang?

Yes.

We're pleased to have received your résumé.

After careful review,

we'd like to invite you

to interview for our finance position.

If that works for you,

we'll send

the time and location to you shortly

by text message.

Alright, thank you.

So even without my parents' help,

I can land a job

on my own.

Xiguang,

[Siliang] come over to Ximo Pavilion.

Something's come up.

Boss,

Siliang called you

to Ximo Pavilion too?

Yeah.

You too?

I asked her what it was about, but she wouldn't say.

Acting all mysterious.

So

I was right.

What?

Look at the time.

It's almost five.

Exactly.

At this hour, it's gotta be a dinner gathering.

Maybe she's got

an offer

from some big company

and wants to surprise us.

Ximo Pavilion is close to the west gate.

Could she be treating us to that boiled fish

with pickled mustard greens by the entrance?

Feng's going to be furious.

She's been in Shanghai the past few days meeting her advisor,

then went back home for a bit,

and has already missed several big dinners.

Let's

give her a call tonight

and tell her how delicious it is,

so she can feel included.

It's not like she's not coming back.

Careful. She might kill you when she came back.

Why'd you call everyone

to meet here?

Really for boiled fish with pickled mustard greens?

Zhuang Xu, you're here, too.

Where's Xiang Qun?

Why are you all staring at me like that?

Nie Xiguang.

What?

You're really asking me that?

This is way too weird.

After what you did,

don't you feel any guilt at all?

What did I do?

Rong,

chill.

We haven't even got the full story yet.

Xiguang,

did you get a call

from Shengyuan

about the interview for Rong

on Monday afternoon?

Of course not.

You still won't admit it?

Nie Xiguang,

I can't believe

you'd do something like this.

Or maybe

she just forgot?

Xigua was still asleep

when we left that day.

Maybe she picked it up

and went straight back to sleep,

and when she woke up,

she just forgot to tell you.

Are you suspecting me

of answering your interview call

and not telling you?

You must be mistaken.

I never received

any interview calls for you.

Why bother denying it?

Too bad your clever schemes backfired.

If it hadn't been for Zhuang Xu

calling his senior

to ask,

you really might have

gotten away with it.

Siliang,

can you walk us

through the whole thing?

Rong never got

the interview call.

So Zhuang Xu asked

his senior

who works in HR at Shengyuan.

She said they sent out

a unified notice

right after work started on Monday afternoon,

and Rong was on the interview list.

Since her phone was stolen,

the company

could only call our dorm.

That afternoon,

Rong, Fen,

Feng and I

went out together.

You were the only one sleeping in the dorm.

Boss went out of town for an interview

and came back Tuesday.

I was with Rong and Fen

all afternoon.

Feng went to the train station.

So

think carefully.

Did you take the call back then

and just forget?

I'm absolutely certain I didn't.

Actually, not long after you all left,

I went straight to the library.

So I never received

any call at all.

You're really washing your hands of it.

Maybe Shengyuan

never even called.

Or maybe they missed it,

or dialed but no one picked up,

and then forgot

to call again.

I knew you'd say that.

Luckily, his senior

went the extra mile

and asked the person in charge of notifications.

The staff, afraid of being accused,

pulled up the call records.

It was made at 2:30 PM,

and lasted almost a minute.

He said

the person who answered promised

to pass the message along,

so they didn't

call again.

But who could have imagined

you could be so malicious?

No matter what they say,

the fact is I never got

any calls.

Besides,

why would I do that?

No reason?

Don't you like Zhuang Xu?

Shengyuan is so close to Huaya.

You don't want me and Zhuang Xu

to be together, do you?

That's why you...

Rong.

Maybe it really is just a misunderstanding.

Anyway, you've got

another interview now.

Let it go.

Don't make everyone

upset.

Yeah.

I feel like something

went wrong in all this.

The matter can be left behind.

But look at her.

Has she shown

even a hint of regret

or the slightest apology?

I just can't swallow it.

Ye Rong,

you're seriously underestimating me.

If I really wanted to stop you

from getting the interview,

do you think Shengyuan

would've called you at all?

Who do you think you are?

Nowadays,

it's all about strength.

Wanna give it a try?

Hello?

Is this Manager Li?

This is Nie Xiguang.

Sorry.

Sorry...

We're from...

The number you dialed does not exist.

Please check it and redial.

Sorry,

the number you dialed does not exist.

Please check it and redial.

It's an invalid number.

I really thought

money could work miracles,

but it was all just for show.

I'll say it one more time.

I never did it.

Believe me or not.

Rong doesn't have a boyfriend,

So what exactly

If they like each other,

then I'll give up.

I'm not sure about that.

Why don't you

just ask Rong?

Rong.

Yeah.

How did you know?

Now the whole department's gossiping,

saying you stole someone's love.

What?

Zhuang Xu

doesn't even have a girlfriend.

Rong.

They may not be

dating,

but everyone knows

they grew up together,

always kind of ambiguous.

But...

Xiguang,

why are you back today?

I'm starving.

Don't fight me for it.

I won't.

Nie Xiguang,

Ms. Zhang made the baozi.

I can't finish them.

You want some?

Meat inside.

Xiguang.

What's wrong?

Don't tell me you're heartbroken again.

Can you just be quiet

and stop bothering me?

So you really are?

You got rejected again?

Don't tell me it's still because of Zhuang.

I thought you'd already given up on him.

Alright then,

you'll get used to it.

Xiguang,

I left the baozi at your door.

[Herman C. E. Liu Memories Library]

Zhuang Xu actually gave you a phone?

Yeah.

I didn't expect it either.

Nie Xiguang,

let's just drop that matter.

We're classmates after all.

This is an early birthday present

Zhuang Xu gave me yesterday.

You win some, and you lose some.

That old saying really hits the mark.

Sometimes,

why bother scheming so cleverly?

What's there to show off

about such an ordinary phone?

Indeed,

it is ordinary,

just a little over 1000 yuan.

Of course, it's beneath your notice.

But

haven't you heard the saying:

"A priceless treasure is easy to find,

but a true lover is hard to come by"?

Exactly.

A true lover is hard to come by.

Congratulations then.

I'm back.

Alright, you're back.

Go wash up.

Lights out soon.

Haven't seen you in days,

why so cold?

I'm fine now.

I just got back from my interview

at Shengyuan today.

They gave me

another chance.

Thank you, ma'am.

I'm

at peace now.

I'll just take it

as a taste of the real world.

I'm not going to say anything to others.

Can't let people think

our class isn't united.

But if the rumors

get out,

that's not on me.

I'm the one who got hurt here,

and I don't owe anyone else

their reputation.

What happened?

It looks pretty serious.

Where's Xigua?

Lights out soon and she's still not back.

Did she go stay at her uncle's again?

Something did happen.

Monday afternoon,

we went out together.

Xiguang was asleep at the time.

You remember that, right?

Yeah.

What's wrong?

That afternoon, around 2 PM,

Shengyuan called Rong,

asking her to come for an interview.

Xiguang picked up the call.

Maybe she forgot

to tell Rong,

almost making her miss something

that could change her life.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Why blame Xigua?

I was the one who answered that call.

And they said

they'd call Rong again themselves.

They never told me to pass it on.

[Feng]

Hello?

Thank you, ma'am,

and thanks to all my classmates

for joining the meal today.

I hope everyone enjoys themselves.

I'll raise my cup of tea

to toast you all.

No,

please,

don't bother standing up.

Let's just keep it casual.

I invited everyone here

for dinner today

mainly to say thanks for all the care

you've given me these past few years.

You've really made

my college life a happy one.

But there's also something

I want to set straight.

I just want

to make it clear,

so I can finish my college years

feeling happy

and free of regrets.

Recently, you may have heard

my dorm mate, Ye Rong,

missed her interview

with Shanghai Shengyuan because she lost her phone.

There's been talk

that when Shengyuan called our dorm,

Nie Xiguang

answered,

but didn't pass on the message,

which led to her missing it.

I need to make a correction.

I was the one who answered that call.

It was her?

It was last Monday afternoon.

I went out with Rong, Siliang

and Fen.

They had errands to run,

and I went to Shanghai.

When I got to the train station,

I realized I'd forgotten my ID card,

so I went back to the dorm to get it.

Since I was in a hurry,

I took a taxi.

I kept the receipt

in my wallet.

Shengyuan's call

came at 2:30 PM.

By a little after 2:40 PM,

I got in the taxi at the north gate.

You can check the timing.

It's true.

If this isn't enough,

I've got more evidence.

The traffic jam made me late.

Here's your gift for making it ashore.

Thank you.

That day,

after Fen and Feng left,

I got up soon after

and went to the library.

When I arrived,

I first returned the book I'd borrowed.

So the library

has my return record and timestamp.

I took a photo of it.

The system is right there.

Anyone can check it anytime.

If you still don't believe me,

the dorm office and library

have surveillance footage.

I'm just a student,

so I can't check it myself.

If necessary, we can request it through the school,

and I'm sure it can be reviewed.

No need.

I trust you.

Now it seems

this was all a misunderstanding.

It wasn't Nie Xiguang

but Feng, who forgot to tell Ye Rong.

This is the second thing

I want to clear up.

I didn't forget.

I remember very clearly

that the staff at Shengyuan told me

they would notify Rong later.

But I don't know why,

when Rong and Zhuang Xu called them,

they suddenly changed their story.

And

I have no way

to prove this part.

I can.

I went to an interview at Shengyuan,

so I have the phone number

of their HR manager.

Of course,

not the senior

Rong and Zhuang Xu

spoke to on the phone.

I asked the HR manager

to help me investigate.

He was very helpful,

and after looking into it, he told me

that the staff

in charge of interview notices

forgot to notify Ye Rong the second time.

But when the senior asked about it,

that employee was afraid of taking responsibility

and lied.

Here is the recording

of my conversation with Mr. Li,

along with the employee's apology.

I recorded it

with their consent.

Xigua,

I'm touched by how much you've done for me.

You stood up bravely

for my innocence,

so of course

I'll fight for yours too.

And one more thing,

I want to make it clear.

After all that's happened,

I find Shengyuan completely unreliable,

and utterly undeserving of me.

So I've decided

I won't be joining them.

Xiguang.

I'm sorry

for not saying anything that day

to defend you.

I owe you an apology.

Me too, Xiguang.

I really thought you had just forgotten.

It's fine.

My head

was all foggy that day.

Can't blame you for that.

But Boss.

Why did you suddenly...

start clapping during dinner?

It was so awkward.

I almost couldn't breathe.

I have no idea.

You were really...

I don't know how to describe it.

After four years as classmates,

I always thought you were

laid-back, a "go-with-the-flow" type.

Never imagined

you'd be like this.

You were absolutely dazzling, seriously.

You practically stole the whole show!

This really isn't Boss's fault.

I was stunned too.

This just shows

you don't really know me.

In the crunch,

I can

own the spotlight.

[Chang:] Here they come.

[Heard the drama just flipped around?] The gossip's already started.

[Nie Xiguang didn't hide Ye Rong's interview call.]

[Xue: So what really happened?]

I especially asked a few

[Xin: Poor Nie Xiguang] of our top gossipers to dinner.

[being wrongly accused for so long.]

Tomorrow,

no,

not tomorrow,

tonight,

everyone in the Business School will know

that Xigua was wronged.

Well, then the treat wasn't in vain.

Why didn't you let me pay?

Come on.

I got into grad school.

Of course I had to treat.

I just invited a few extra folks

as messengers.

There's no way I'd make you pay.

You've had enough bad luck already.

Making you chip in?

That's just not fair.

By the way, Feng,

didn't you invite Rong and Siliang?

Of course I did.

How could I not?

Siliang couldn't make it. Something came up.

As for Rong...

I told her

that this dinner

was meant to clear up the misunderstanding.

She chose not to come.

Honestly,

I didn't think this needed

to be made

such a big deal.

But after I explained it

to a few classmates,

within a couple of days, people started saying

I was brown-nosing Xigua

and taking the blame for her.

I was furious!

Isn't that an insult

to my character?

Really?

Seriously, that's ridiculous.

Luckily, it's all cleared up now,

otherwise I'd still be stewing over it.

Just one month left,

and we'll be graduating.

Pulling something like this right before graduation

is way too awkward.

What's so awkward about it?

The real embarrassment is on those

who spread rumors

and refuse to listen to any explanation.

Xigua,

for the next couple of days,

maybe you can try

putting on

that "poor me,

life's so unfair" look?

I don't even need to put it on.

I already look miserable.

What's wrong?

My thesis.

I turned in my first draft a few days ago.

When I was

buying you that cake,

my supervisor called

and told me to pick up

his feedback on the thesis.

This doesn't sound good.

Relax.

No matter what,

he's gonna

give you a scare,

like, "delayed graduation,"

or "not good enough."

Just tough it out and you'll be fine.

Yeah,

you will make it.

Honestly, you guys

make me even more nervous.

Finally, justice served. Back to reality now.

[Zhuang Xu, Outstanding Academic Performance Award]

That's how it went.

I owe you an apology.

I didn't expect the staff

to lie just to dodge blame.

I hope it didn't

cause you any trouble.

Zhuang Xu?

Zhuang Xu?

It's fine.

Thanks for telling me, senior.

I made a late-night snack for Zhuang Fei.

You have some, too.

Okay.

If your father

could see

how well you've done,

he'd be at peace.

Zhuang Fei's taking the Gaokao this year.

Once it's over,

my work

will be half done.

Mom.

Thanks for all these years.

It's nothing.

I feel

a real sense of achievement.

Now you've graduated from college,

and landed a good job.

It's time to think about

settling down.

I think

you should make it official with Rong ASAP.

Just let me finish.

As the saying goes,

a good match requires equal standing.

You and Rong grew up together.

If her father

and the elders

were still around,

I wouldn't

have to say this.

About that interview,

you got Rong a phone

and told her to keep quiet at school.

I'm not saying it's outright wrong.

She's done our family

a real favor

and we should pay that back.

But a gift

with strings

still stings, even if only a little.

Mom,

please stop.
