[Shine On Me]

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

[Episode 13]

Guang, look.

A giant radish.

Whoa, it's huge.

Isn't it gorgeous?

Back in the day,

I wouldn't take a cent from your mother.

But now, your grandpa and I

are hounding your dad for every last bit

and we're stashing it all away for you.

It's all going to be yours.

Otherwise,

it'll just end up
in someone else's pockets.

Grandma,

you and Grandpa should buy
whatever you need.

I've got plenty of money, okay?

We've got food
and a roof over our heads.

Our medical's covered too.

What on earth would we even spend it on?

Don't touch that.

Leave it be.

Just leave it.

I was just trying to shake the snow off.

It's still got so many leaves.

Is it gonna make it?

It's fine.

The leaves are brittle
and the snow is heavy.

They'll snap right off
once you touch them.

Just

let it melt.

I'm just worried it'll freeze.

Look how tiny it is.

It'll be all grown up
by Chinese New Year.

- Alright.
- Don't worry.

Grandma,

my mom says we're going skiing
over the break.

So I won't be able to spend it with you.

But I'll come see you as much as I can
before and after!

Just go

see the world.

You don't have to visit so often.

Country life is pretty boring anyway.

Besides, we're doing just fine.

You're a grown-up now.

You need to start making some time

to find yourself a nice boyfriend.

Why is everyone today saying that?

Did your mom mention it too?

Well, it's about time.

My girl, you're stunning.

I bet the boys are lining up for you.

So you'd better keep your wits about you
and pick the right one.

Pick?

What are you talking about?

A man, obviously.

I want this

to be something good for you,

not a weight on your shoulders.

You say...

you still have feelings for him.

That's fine.

Take your pick.

I'm not picking anyone.

Grandma, I'm starving.

Let's just grab some veggies

and head back for lunch.

[Mr. Lin]

How could Lin Yusen

say that

with a straight face?

Guang, hurry up.

Coming.

Mom.

Yusen, what are you doing?

I'm just sort of mindlessly

going through a paper for my senior

and giving him some feedback.

Mindlessly?

I'm having a hard time focusing.

I know my son better than anyone.

[Sheng Weiai]
You're usually so locked in.

Did something happen?

Nothing bad.

I'll tell you
once I'm more sure about it.

So, is there a situation

I should know about?

Mom.

Fine. I won't pry.

I'm calling

because Mr. Luo and I

will be in Beijing in early February

for an international symposium.

So, you don't need to fly all the way

to Switzerland for Chinese New Year.

That's great news.

You haven't been back

since Grandpa and Grandma passed away.

But I don't plan on visiting Shanghai.

So don't even

mention this to them.

Understood.

I'm cooking rice

in the iron pot,

with that crispy golden crust.

Then let me feed the stove.

Nothing beats the warmth
of the stove in winter.

You still know how to do that?

Of course.

You taught me, remember?

It's like riding a bike.

Alright.

What took you so long?

You didn't even tell me
Guang was coming.

I went to get some deli meats

and Guang's favorite sesame cakes.

See?

Oh, awesome.

Don't just stand there.

Go catch a chicken.

Alright.

Is it good?

So good.

Nothing beats

homemade braised chicken.

You just can't find this anywhere else.

Chickens from the market
are all feed-fed.

Our chickens

are home-raised.

And

food cooked over a wood fire

just hits different.

Back then,

I insisted on having this stove,

but your dad fought me
every step of the way.

Said it wasn't modern enough
and that it looked out of place.

He thought people would laugh at us.

He was

so full of himself.

It was your mom who said

to just build one.

That's why
we didn't end up in a huge fight.

Even if you did,
Dad wouldn't stand a chance against you.

You've told that story a hundred times.

You bring it up every time

he comes home for a meal.

No wonder he stopped coming around.

Like I care.

He can please himself.

Just the sight of him sets me off.

It's better if he stays away.

Grandma, easy.

Oh, by the way,

Mom sent a ton of stuff

for you guys.

It's all in the trunk.

Remind me to bring them in.

Alright.

Your mom is great.

But she is too dignified.

What's wrong that?

Well,

she's too diplomatic
and always plays it by the book.

You can't reason with a man.

Give them an inch
and they'll take a mile.

You have to break them in

until they know who's boss.

I've got your grandpa

eating out of the palm of my hand,
haven't I?

When you get a boyfriend,

I'll teach you all my tricks.

She's right.

Just do what she says.

Grandma,

you've done so much for us.

You deserve the best bites.

What about me?

Grandpa,

since you've been staying in line,

you get some more too.

These are all fresh from the patch.

Take them to your mom.

If it's too much,
just give some to your friends.

Okay.

Remember

what I told you?

What was it?

Keeping a sharp eye out
for the right one.

Take your time.

If you're not sure about someone,

bring him home
and let me give him the once-over.

Got it.

I'm heading out now.

Bye, Grandpa.

Alright.

Drive safe.

I will.

I'll come see you guys again soon.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Take care.

Alright.

Tomorrow at work, I'll see him again.

Xiguang.

Xiguang.

Xiguang.

Xiguang.

You look so out of it today.

Did you stay up late last night?

Not really.

Maybe it's just the cold.

Yeah.

It snowed again last night.

Good thing we've got heating
in the office.

Everyone, hurry.

Come on.

Grab your weapons.

Coming through.

Another heavy snow last night.

If we don't clear the way,

everything's going to be
at a standstill.

Plus, it's a safety hazard.

As per usual,

each department is responsible
for their own zone.

Mr. Lin will be joining us shortly.

I appreciate your help, everyone.

- Okay.
- Got it.

Grab your tools.

- Okay.
- Got it.

And let's go.

- Okay.
- Got it.

We've been assigned

a precision job,

clearing the snow

off the rooftop PV panels.

Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Lin.

You are up here already?

I got here early

and dragged Mr. Lin along with me.

Let's get to work.

But Mr. Zhang, you...

Wang,

what's that supposed to mean?

You think I'm too old for this?

I've been doing this

every year.

Your Mr. Lin doesn't have

half the experience I do.

That's for sure.

Mr. Zhang shared

some of his best tips.

Careful on your feet, Mr. Zhang.

Got it.

Alright everyone, let's get to it.

Go ahead and stake out your zones.

- Got it.
- Okay.

Careful.

Xiguang,

let's start over here.

The snow up here seems

a bit thinner than it is on the ground.

Is it because PV panels

get hot enough

to melt the snow?

Actually, it's because the tech team

cleared them over the New Year break.

You have to stay on top

of the snow removal.

Otherwise, if it ices over,

it could actually

damage the panels.

Got it.

Take it easy, guys.

Watch the surface

and don't scuff it up.

Alright.

Are these panels scratched?

I hope I don't have to pay for this.

First, make sure

you're both okay.

I'm fine.

Thanks for checking on us, Mr. Lin.

I'm fine too.

Let's divvy up the work.

You guys sweep the areas nearby.

Leave the hard-to-reach spots for me.

Got it.

Xiguang,

you're way too efficient.

What's the rush?
Are you pushed by ghosts?

Come on, you guys

bundle up a bit more.

Don't just choose fashion

over function.

I'll take it from here.

Thanks.

No sign

of the other teams yet.

We're leading the pack.

Grab some hot water, everyone,

and warm up a bit.

Mr. Lin wants us to huddle up in a bit.

I've reviewed the plan
for the year-end party.

Let's tweak the agenda a bit.

Cut back on the formal speeches,

and focus more
on the fun and relaxing parts.

Copy that.

We'll

fine-tune it later.

It's a tough year for everyone.

Our competitors are dropping like flies.

Do we need

to slash the prize budget?

Let's stick with what we had last year.

Also,

besides the tangible gifts,

let's throw in

some creative incentives,

like,

a week of paid leave, for instance.

I'm down for that.

Great.

That'll do.

Awesome.

Everyone's gonna love it.

We need to start sourcing
the tangible prizes.

Yin Jie and Nie,
you'll be in charge of that.

Just follow last year's lead.

We also need to lock in

the venue for the party ASAP.

Besides our usual partner hotels,

let's explore other options too.

See if you can find a better deal.

And make sure to take plenty of photos.

Okay.

And

one more thing.

We can swap out

the catering contractor.

That food was garbage.

Finally, we're done with them.

The last time I ate there,
I got an upset stomach.

Exactly.

It's long overdue.

Okay.

Good riddance.

Tell me about it.

Alright,

that's all for today.

Back to work, everyone.

Let's go.

Mr. Lin,

there's something
I need to go over with you.

Look,

do we still need

to tweak this?

The budget looks perfect.

No need to change anything.

I'll drop it off
for your sign-off shortly.

Okay.

We're just doing the legwork.

Everything has to
go through the higher-ups.

But to be honest,

your pricing

just isn't competitive.

Our venue is fairly new,

and we're very easy to work with.

But,

you don't have much of a reputation yet.

This is our year-end party.

We need to make it fancy.

I totally fell for it.

I thought

this was a cushy gig,

just an excuse to stroll around.

But I didn't see this coming.

My legs are absolutely killing me,

and I've talked myself hoarse.

But you were so convincing back there.

Tell me about it.

I'm a natural-born negotiator.

I'm beat.

I'm gonna grab some drinks to recharge.

Thanks.

Thanks.

This is pretty good.

Xiguang.

What's wrong?

You've been acting a bit off
since you got back

from the New Year break.

Don't tell me you and Mr. Lin

had a falling out

at that wedding in Shanghai?

Not really.

So why give me all those files

over the last few days

and dump the sign-off on me?

Oh, and another thing.

What was with you

in the elevator the other day?

When Mr. Lin walked in,

you acted

like you were fascinated by your shoes.

Now that I think about it,

the snow shoveling was shady too.

You were blasting through it so fast

just to avoid facing Mr. Lin?

What are you doing?

That's a very suspicious look
you've got there.

How about I buy you dinner tonight?

We'll have squirrel-shaped mandarin fish
and Gordon Euryale seed.

Nice try, but don't dodge the question.

From your reactions,

you're not in trouble with him.

Are you...?

Nie,

you should treat me to dinner tonight.

I've got some major tea to spill.

That prick, Lin Yusen,

actually hung up on me.

I'm telling on him.

Unbelievable.

I've helped him out so much.

Now that I need a hand,

he actually has the nerve
to hang up on me?

Well,

tit for tat then.

Nie,

you have to see him
for who he really is,

a wolf in sheep's clothing.

And how he stayed at the hospital

just to linger and talk surgery with us.

You know where I'm getting at, right?

He did

give us

a lot of helpful advice.

And

the whole eating together thing,

that was all his doing.

I'm sure you're aware.

Coaxing you into Lu Sha's wedding?

I'll spare you the lecture

on how bad that is.

Yeah.

But Shengyi,

are you really here to spill the tea?

Nie, spending time with Yusen

is finally rubbing off on you.

Not bad.

I'm just

doing this for fun.

He's dragging our reputation

through the mud.

You get me, right?

So

he told you everything?

He's very reserved...

If he hadn't

needed my help,

he would've

kept me in the dark forever.

Look at him.

It speaks for itself.

I tried calling him,

but as soon as your name came up,

he just said he was busy

and shut me down.

It's obvious

his pride is too wounded to face us.

He actually values his "pride" so much?

Nie.

If someone like Yusen
doesn't make the cut,

who on earth are you looking for?

You don't get perks

without paying your dues.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

What are you on about?

Nie,

I'm totally lost here.

This whole deep vibe.

You're becoming just like him.

Shengyi,

have some fish.

Fish as a muzzle?

Fine. I am starving anyway.

Two bowls did the trick. I'm stuffed.

Well...

I've got the night shift tonight,

so I won't be able
to give you a ride later.

I just texted Yusen.

When he gets here,

he'll give you a lift home.

Shengyi.

A bit on the nose, isn't it?

Really?

Sorry.

Surgery

is all about precision,

but outside the hospital,

we tend to just call a spade a spade.

You'll have to get used to it.

See?

In his prime,

he could stun the entire cafeteria

just by walking in with a lunchbox.

He might be older today,

but he hasn't lost his swagger one bit,

don't you think?

Nie, just think about it.

If you actually land him,

every single girl

from our med school days,

would be dying of envy

from miles away.

How epic would that be?

Aren't you pumped?

Doesn't that just feel amazing?

Shengyi,

knock it off.

I haven't had a chance to eat.

Would you be okay

with me finishing these off?

Since Nie is picking up the tab,

as long as she's okay with it,

then I'm cool with it.

Duty calls. Off to save lives.

I'll leave

the bill

to you.

I'm good.

So, you're finally talking to me?

I honestly thought

you'd be too scared and bolt.

Wait a moment.

This is on me.

I promised Shengyi.

Take mine.

Let me get this.

Here.

Take mine.

I was just messing with you before.

But since I've already

laid my cards on the table,

there's no way I'm letting you
pick up the tab.

Cars aren't allowed back here.

We'll have to walk a bit.

I had no idea

he was coming to see you today.

Don't take anything he said

to heart.

He said

Miss Lu

never invited me to the wedding.

So he went over my head

to tattle to you.

Is that true?

Yeah.

Since I hadn't made my move yet,

I had to rack my brains

just to create an opportunity.

I thought you'd be

at least a little shy about it.

After being that direct, though,

it feels a bit too late

to act embarrassed now.

I used to be

every bit as direct

as he is.

If I had met Lin Yusen first,

how would things have turned out?

Would I have fallen for him
at first sight?

With both of us
being so straight to the point,

would we have just clicked right away?

That probably would have been nice, too.

I wish I'd met you first.

Oh, shoot.

Did I just

say that out loud?

That might have been a bit much.

I hope he isn't mad.

Why do I always lose my cool

when I'm around him?

So,

what kind of favor
did Shengyi ask you for?

He's working on a paper

that overlaps

with my previous research.

He just wanted me

to run an eye over it.

He knew your situation

yet he still made you do all this.

I shouldn't have treated him to dinner.

Don't worry about it.

I'm over it now.

A year of being dramatic about my hands

is more than enough.

Why keep it up forever?

I've been doing

a lot of reflecting
over the past few days.

I acted on impulse

and caught you off guard.

No.

Really?

It's only been a few days,

but you've already got dark circles.

Xiguang.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have

sprung that on you

when you were unprepared.

If it caused you any distress,

I apologize.

That sounds

so familiar.

I'm sorry.

I honestly didn't realize

you and Rong had something going on.

Otherwise,

I wouldn't have confessed to you.

I hope

I didn't cause you any trouble.

Don't say that.

Don't say things like that.

Okay, I'll stop.

But,

what did I even say?

You're practically in tears now.

Such a crybaby.

Don't apologize.

Don't apologize for this.

Fine, I won't.

It's been painful

to watch you struggle
just to stay away from me.

I won't bring it up again.

I promise.

Please, stop avoiding me, okay?

It's exhausting for you,

and it's hard for me

to play along and let you hide.

You?

Playing along?

I thought

I was just being smart,

with maxed-out evasion stats.

How else?

I've been doing everything I can

to get out on site visits.

I'm fresh out of excuses

to leave the office

tomorrow.

So,

stop avoiding me,

okay?

I won't.

Really?

Then keep me company
while I work late tonight.

[Pingyi Tianhe Construction]

Are you

serious?

Yeah.

Why the midnight trip

to the Phase II plant site?

I want to get

a shareholder's opinion on something.

Don't go pinning labels on me.

I'm not.

Don't even think about making someone
as young and carefree as me

shoulder responsibilities
I never signed up for.

Look at you, being all cautious now.

I learned from the best, Mr. Lin.

What is it exactly?

Spit it out.

Check this out.

This is the general layout

for the Phase II plant,

and here's where we are right now.

This is

the designated PV-integrated parking

for the Phase II plant.

We're putting in a cafeteria over here

for the plant staff.

But that patch of land over there

is still up in the air.

Follow me.

Right here.

From where we stand,

straight to the far end.

Any suggestions?

That's a sudden question.

I'm drawing a blank right now.

But honestly, I've always felt

the site is a bit sterile.

Sterile?

Yeah.

We've got lawns and lots of green space

over by the offices and dorms,

but the plant itself

is looking a bit bare.

Maybe we could

green up this section a bit?

Why don't we do

a PV-powered eco-garden?

It'll be totally solar-powered,

with a nice lawn and some greenery,

and we can toss in
some outdoor furniture.

For the roof, we can use

those adjustable PV panels
which can tilt.

They'd provide some shade on sunny days,

and on cloudy days,
they can tilt open to let the light in.

And if it rains, they'll seal shut.

We could even add a little kiosk

for beverages and snacks.

It'd be a huge hit.

Look, the admin building

has a spot like this,

but the plant doesn't.

We should really set something up
over here, too,

so the workers have somewhere

to get some fresh air

during their breaks.

Splendid.

I agree.

Let's go with that then.

I, your shareholder, have made the call.

Mr. Lin, could you please

make this happen ASAP?

So,

should I have the staff

get on it right now,

or wait until tomorrow?

It's late, obviously...

Hold on.

What do you mean by now?

It means following your lead

and making it happen immediately.

Nie,

I'll let you handle the back-and-forth

with the different departments
to get things moving.

So you're just stepping back
and doing nothing?

Of course not.

I'm the one signing the papers.

That's it.

We're off the clock.

Let me give you a ride home.

One minute he's my subordinate,

the next he's my boss.

It's like he's hitting on me,

yet he keeps piling
all this work on my plate.

Make this a priority.

Mr. Ding.

You're Nie, right?

Mr. Lin filled me in

this morning

about the empty lot in B2.

We're putting in
a solar-powered garden, yeah?

Yes.

He asked me

to start pushing things forward for now.

Got it.

Wan,

let's set up a meeting

with Nie from Admin.

Oh, and check

with Mr. Hua from Tech

to see if he's free

to join us.

Sure thing.

[Master Plan:
Shuangyuan PV Plant Phase II Expansion]

Everything on B2

is right here.

We're looking at about 1.2 mu of land.

What's our main goal?

I just got this task

last night myself,

so my ideas are still pretty raw.

I'm looking to brainstorm
a bit with all of you.

The basic idea is

to create a small garden

where the staff

can hang out
during their lunch breaks.

It'll have a PV roof

that provides shade, keeps the rain out,
and generates its own power.

The site is seriously lacking
in green space right now,

so we're looking to liven it up.

So, does it need a main structure?

Yeah, we'll need one.

It doesn't have to be huge, though.

Maybe a footprint

of about 200 square meters?

We can make it two stories.

That shouldn't be a problem.

Wan, get this down.

Get in touch with the design firm

and ask for a few mock-ups,

budget included.

Copy that.

Mr. Ding.

Mr. Hua.

Take a seat.

We've discussed over the phone.

I'm sure Mr. Lin

has briefed you on this?

Yeah.

I just have one question:

are we going with BIPV

or BAPV?

[Pros and Cons of BIPV vs. BAPV]

So,

it's BAPV.

Just a standalone

rooftop PV system,

right?

Then why am I even here?

This is way too simple.

Ke,

link up with them.

Got it.

Looks like that new task from Mr. Lin

is quite the headache.

You've either been

running around like crazy
from office to office,

or you're glued to your chair,

buried in paperwork.

What's this?

You don't really get it either, do you?

Nope, not a clue.

Great.

At least I'm not
the only clueless one here.

Xiguang, look,

you can trash yourself all you want,

but leave me out of it.

Seriously, what is this thing?

I'm technically a part of this company,

and yet I've never even heard of it.

I'm still just scratching the surface,

but basically:

BAPV

is retrofitting buildings

with PV systems.

It's more of a standalone setup,

like what we have on our roof.

Then there's BIPV,

which is Building-Integrated Photovoltaics.

It's designed right into the building

from the start.

You use the PV panels
as actual building materials,

integrating them
into the roof, curtain walls,

or awnings.

It blends seamlessly with the structure,

making it more energy-efficient
and aesthetically pleasing.

Of course,
it's much more complex to build.

I see.

Who would have known

getting a small project off the ground

could be this complicated?

Procurement, Tech, Engineering,

Finance.

I have to deal
with every single department.

I'm mostly just winging it

and learning as I go.

Gee, I really walked straight
into a trap

I set for myself.

Yin Jie,

how is it that

I'm playing both sides of the deal?

Well,

even though I'm totally lost,

that sounds

incredibly deep.

Yes.

We all wear many hats.

Going from boss to subordinate

is a seamless flip.

Listen up, everyone.

I've got some great news
about the cafeteria

to share with you all.

Come here.

What is it?

The cafeteria.

The plan to switch contractors

is moving at lightning speed.

Word

from Logistics is

that after several rounds of vetting,

we're down

to the final three contenders.

Since their quotes are all pretty much
in the same ballpark,

Mr. Lin weighed in with a suggestion.

He said for a cafeteria,
we can't just look at the bottom line.

It's the taste that counts.

So the final call is to have two people

from each department

do a taste test and vote for the winner.

The food tasting

is happening tomorrow.

Awesome.

Who's the lucky one from our team?

Given that we're vetting this

for the entire staff,

naturally,
everyone's lining up for a spot.

Fair point.

But we've only got so many seats.

So, to be completely fair about it,

I've decided

we're going to draw straws.

Right.

That's as fair as it gets.

No one can argue with that.

- Yeah.
- Right.

Notice the slips

in the bag?

Two are marked.

If you pick one, you're representing

our department.

Wait, what does the slip say?

You'll see if you're lucky enough
to grab one.

Who wants to start?

Please let it be me.

Mr. Lin.

What's going on here?

Yeah, for the food tasting.

We're leaving it to chance
with a lucky draw.

Would you like to join us?

No way,

that's going to mess with the odds.

That's not what I meant.

So, what you're saying

is you'd love to have me join?

Of course.

Swapping out the cafeteria
was your call.

You deserve all the credit,
so it's only right that you're here.

Nie's right.

Let's add one more slip of paper.

So, who's going first?

Me.

I want to be the master
of my own destiny.

Sure thing, you're up.

Mr. Wang,

you must have given it
a pretty weak shake.

Now my fate is literally a blank slate.

Mr. Lin.

I'll go last.

Sure.

I'll go, then.

Alright.

Come on everyone.

Come on.

I'll pick one.

Let me get in on this too.

Nothing for me.

My turn.

Is it this one?

Foodie.

[Foodie]
Totally fits you.

- Yeah.
- Exactly.

That's the one.

Alright,

there's only one tasting slot left.

It's between Mr. Lin

and Nie.

The final face-off.

Who

is going to be the lucky foodie

of Administration?

Let's do it together.

Okay.

Foodie.

Shoot.

Seems Nie is the chosen one after all.

♪Love feels less rushed that way♪

♪The rain from yesterday
has finally cleared♪

♪And today the sunshine
feels so warm and bright♪

♪I used to hide away in the corner♪

♪But now I long
to follow close behind you♪

♪How much longer
must I keep missing out?♪

♪When it's only you
who makes my heart race♪

♪I've rushed through the endless crowd♪

♪I'm holding your hand at this moment♪

♪Clutching tight, with tender arms♪

♪I just want to keep your gentle smile♪

♪I've made it past the endless trials♪

♪I'm gazing into your eyes
at this moment♪

♪No turning back
or fear of winter's chill♪

♪The sunlight shines like you♪

♪And like me♪

♪Dreams realized, broken and gone♪

♪Nothing more than a dream all along♪

♪Wake up to the bright lights
on the streets♪

♪I'm here by your side♪

♪The sky dimmed, deepened and died♪

♪Nothing more than some rain inside♪

♪Open the window
to boundless blue skies♪

♪Side by side, just you and I♪
