[Shine On Me]

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

[Episode 6]

Mr. Lin.

I'll head back

and touch base with Mr. Ba
at Shengyuan Finance.

Mr. Lin.

Do you

have a moment?

Shut the door.

What's the matter?

I wonder how he'd look

in a white lab coat.

Here's the thing.

I've noticed

a clear breach of company regulations.

If we don't

fix this,

it's going to seriously undermine

our credibility.

Be more specific.

Yin Jie, Yuhua, and I joined
way before the new hire did.

But Logistics went ahead
and gave the Building 1 dorm

to him.

You came to me

just for this?

Yeah.

Mr. Tong,

come to my office.

I'm so sorry.

This was a complete oversight
on our part.

We were only looking
at the new application forms

and completely overlooked the staff

who joined earlier.

It's fine.

I just hope

you can get this sorted out
as soon as possible.

Well...

he's moved in.

We'll have to talk to him first.

It might be...

Your oversight

did indeed cause trouble for others.

An apology is in order,

and you should make
the proper arrangements.

Yes, sir.

But I just ran into Mr. Mo

on my way here.

What does Mr. Mo have to do with this?

Mr. Mo.

I see.

But someone

has brought this to my attention.

If we don't handle this properly,

I'm afraid it won't sit well
with the team.

Of course,

we'll stick strictly to company policy.

This was

a massive oversight by Logistics.

It's got nothing to do with you.

I'm sure the others

won't hold it against you.

I'll go talk

to him right away

and get the dorms sorted out.

There's just one thing, though.

We only have one room available,

with only two beds.

But there are three of you.

How should we split it?

The other two will move there.

Understood, Mr. Lin.

I'll go handle the arrangements now.

Miss Nie,

got any issues

with the way I handled that?

Not at all.

I figured as much.

Since you're so set on

playing the "commoner,"

I'm sure you won't mind

a bit of a downgrade
in living standards.

I finally figured out

why he's always giving me a hard time.

Why is it that every cute guy

I meet

just has to make my life miserable?

Isn't that a good thing?

If a knockout
were giving me a hard time,

I'd be thrilled.

Jiang Rui.

Didn't you ask him

how he found out who you really are?

Of course I did.

But you really think he'd just

play along and tell me?

It's not really

that much of a surprise.

He was transferred

from HQ, after all.

It's only natural

he'd know you were here.

It's just his attitude
that's so annoying.

Xiguang.

He's a surgeon

who made DM

in just one year.

Doesn't that strike you

as odd?

I've thought about it.

But it's not like

it has anything to do with me.

No.

Maybe it's got nothing to do with you,

but what about your dad?

I heard

the infighting at Shengyuan

has been pretty bad
these last few years.

The old man

is about to name his successor,

and he's got a lot of sons.

Your dad

is close with his eldest,

Sheng Bokai.

We don't know

whose side your boss's on,

but he's definitely not

in Sheng Bokai's camp.

So, I've been thinking

you're just caught in the crossfire.

No way.

I just don't get the feeling

that he's the type

to take out his frustrations on others

just because of some power struggle.

He's got this aura about him,

like he's completely

above all that.

He used to be a doctor, right?

He seems like the kind

who's far too principled
to ever take a bribe.

Seriously, Xiguang?

After how he treated you,

you're still saying he's a good guy?

Sounds like you're catching feelings,

Xiguang.

That's a completely separate issue.

Jiang Rui.

Shanghai isn't far from Suzhou.

It's only ten minutes away
by high-speed rail.

Don't be surprised if I show up
at your school to "visit".

Alright,

I'm done messing with you.

I'll stop.

But you're right.

Those people play dirty.

If he really wanted
to make your life miserable,

he wouldn't make it this obvious.

He's way too smart for that.

Are you calling me stupid?

Of course not.

But in that case,

I think there's only

one possibility left.

Did you do something bad

that gave him

a really bad impression?

No way.

I...

Tell me everything.

In your dreams.

I'm hanging up.

Why are you guys just sitting there?

Get your stuff together
and move into the new dorm.

Dorm Management called

right before they clocked out.

They said the room in Building 1

have been cleared and cleaned.

Talk about efficiency.

Only Mr. Lin could pull that off.

Xiguang,

we can't take the room.

I feel terrible already

for not backing you up

when you went to see Mr. Lin today.

You were the one who stepped up,

but we're the ones getting the perks.

It just doesn't feel right.

Going to see Mr. Lin was my own choice.

It's totally normal

that you didn't react in time.

Besides, Mr. Lin

works me to the bone every day.

I just wanted to make him

do some actual work for once.

It's not on you.

Plus, the final decision
on who gets Building 1

was based on who joined first.

If I moved in,

it wouldn't be fair.

But I...

No buts.

Come on.

I'll help you pack.

Let's get over there

and claim the washer and fridge.

[Huaya Bank]

Mr. Ba,

why are you calling me at this hour?

Don't tell me you're
pulling overtime like I am.

Go ahead, I'm listening.

Okay.

Mr. Ba,

is this coming

from Mr. Sheng Bokai himself?

Don't worry about the details.

I just want to make sure

I don't mess this up.

Actually, the problem
is if you do it too well.

With the PV market as it is,

it'd be unfair

to ask for a real favor.

We definitely don't want

to make things difficult for you.

But our subsidiary

is practically begging us.

We have to at least look like

we're doing something.

I get it.

That's easy then.

I'll just send someone over
to go through the motions.

Mr. Song,
you're a real straight-shooter.

Some other time,

when Mr. Sheng is available,

let's grab a drink together.

Okay.

Leave it to me.

Zhuang Xu,

come here.

Mr. Song.

A few years back, Shengyuan

invested in a PV company

over in Suzhou

called

Suzhou Shuangyuan.

Get in touch with them

to run a pre-loan due diligence.

Got it.

I'll get on it right away.

Wait.

Don't let this bog you down.

Make it a quick trip.

Understood.

So this is the territory

Xiguang fought so hard to get us.

It's got a fridge

and even a washing machine.

Let's get settled. It's getting late.

I'll give the washer
a good scrub tomorrow

and disinfect it.

Xiguang,

you should do your laundry here

from now on.

You bet.

I'm still a bit worried, Xiguang.

Are you sure Mr. Lin
won't hold this against you?

Even if he does,

it won't be over something like this.

I'll just stay out of his way.

The site-wide inventory is next week.

I'll head there first.

Mr. Lin,

as scheduled,

Mr. Tu from Yixin Trust

is coming at 9 AM.

At 10:30 AM,

Mr. Ping from the construction team

is meeting you at the Phase II plant.

Also,

Huaya Bank is sending someone

for a site visit today.

Do you

want to meet him?

Huaya?

Who's coming?

A Mr. Zhuang

from Loans

called me last week.

I've already put Finance
in touch with him.

I won't be seeing him.

Let Finance handle the reception.

Got it.

Wait.

Where

did Nie Xiguang go?

Administration and Finance

are teaming up
for a site-wide inventory.

It'll take a few days,

so they're rotating the shifts.

Nie volunteered to go today.

She's been stepping it up lately.

I've seriously had it.

We've been at it for three hours

and only finished one category.

At this rate, we'll be here forever.

The stock for this specific material

is massive.

It's always hardest at the start.

That's what you get
for volunteering for the first day.

Thanks.

Drink up and refresh yourself.

Thanks.

There's 50 minutes until lunch break.

The second category

will probably take another two hours.

How about

we take a break and grab lunch now,

then start a bit earlier this afternoon?

Works for me.

It's our job anyway.

I'll go grab the food for you guys.

- Thanks.
- Thanks.

[Shuangyuan Photovoltaic]

Thanks, Mr. Wu.

I have a basic grasp

of Shuangyuan's financials now.

In the briefing,

I'll focus specifically

on Shuangyuan's solvency.

Much appreciated, Mr. Zhuang.

The industry is facing some headwinds,

but our operations

are actually doing quite well.

Plus, we have two major backers,

and the government has released

many favorable policies
for the industry.

As long as we weather this storm

and the market picks up,

the potential is massive.

You must be hungry.

Let me take you

to our cafeteria for a bite.

We'll tour the site this afternoon.

[Team Meeting at 3 PM]

My apologies.

I don't think I'll have time

for the site tour.

I need to get back

to Shanghai

for a team meeting this afternoon.

I see.

Qiqi,

you really missed out.

Dan said

a total hottie showed up

at Finance today.

And here you are, stuck doing inventory.

A hottie?

Who?

Where was he from?

I'm asking her.

Su and Dan are roommates.

Dan said

he's from Huaya Bank.

Huaya.

Does she know his last name?

I don't think she does.

Dan's over in Cost Accounting,

and banks usually

talk to Treasury

about loans and stuff.

By the time we finish the inventory
and get back,

he'll definitely be long gone.

She knows it.

She's gossiping with me about him.

She said even his name sounds handsome

and he has a really rare last name.

Zhuang.

That is pretty rare.

Xiguang,

you okay?

I just remembered

something just came up at the office.

I've gotta run back for a second.

Won't be long.

Xi...

Wait, is it that urgent?

They brought your lunch

all the way out here to the plant.

♪Turns out fate speaks
with the tone of the experienced♪

It's been so long

since I even thought about him.

I thought time would blur
the memories.

I guess

I'm just

not there yet.

♪Today held so many fleeting moments♪

♪As lovely as the forever you promised♪

♪Yesterday, we whispered
a soft "see you tomorrow"♪

♪Turns out adult farewells are silent♪

♪Turns out the wish to see you again
can no longer come true♪

♪We once rushed through our youth♪

♪Waiting and waiting
in the same old place♪

♪Ends up letting us turn into strangers♪

♪Is love even worth it?♪

♪Ask neither me nor him♪

♪Can we begin again?♪

[Shuangyuan Photovoltaic]

♪There's no turning back♪

♪Just admit it♪

Correct me if I'm wrong,

but aren't you meant

to be at the plant for the inventory?

I'm

going back right now.

You'll be handling

the rest of the inventory.

Why?

For abandoning your post.

Of course,

if you aren't up for it,

no one's going to twist your arm.

I'm

more than happy to.

[Shuangyuan Photovoltaic]

Mr. Zhuang

seemed pretty sharp,

and asked some really deep questions

about the industry.

But Huaya only sent

this one guy.

He's so young

and doesn't have much clout.

I doubt the loan will even be approved.

Plus, he was in such a rush

and didn't even do a site visit.

He didn't even check out the plant?

Yeah. I invited him,

but he said he had a meeting to catch.

So I didn't push it.

Don't sweat it with Huaya.

Yixin and us had a great talk today.

Their intent to cooperate is clear.

Follow up with them

on the details of the proposal.

Got it.

I'll get right on it.

These go on the top shelf too.

Got it.

Make sure you log them.

Watch out.

You okay, Xiguang?

I'm fine.

What got you?

Just a small box of parts.

Luckily, it didn't break the skin.

I need to be careful tomorrow.

Maybe I should wear a hat.

Don't bother.

I'm the one going tomorrow.

Wait, why?

It's fine.

Mr. Wang,

this week's inventory is all wrapped up.

Here is the list.

Great job.

Go take a break.

Mom,

I'm not coming home this weekend.

I'm going out with some colleagues.

Bye.

Xiguang,

why don't you come out

with us this weekend too?

Pass.

I'm going to spend
all day tomorrow in bed.

I don't even have the energy to go home.

Then why did you tell your mom

you were going out with us?

I just made that up.

What else?

Saying that my boss has worked me
into the ground

and I can't even move?

Oh,

since you guys are headed downtown,

could you bring me back some food

for dinner?

We're

not going downtown tomorrow.

Weren't you listening

to anything we said earlier?

Of course not.

I'm so tired that I've gone stone-deaf.

Then where are you guys going?

Shanghai.

But we'll be back really late.

You'll have to find your own dinner.

Shanghai?

You know I was

up north for college.

Now that I'm down here,

and it's just a stone's throw away,

I'm gotta go check out Shanghai.

It's super easy to get to Shanghai

from here.

We can just grab a ride
right outside the gate.

Count me in.

Yuhua said

she wants to hit up Ping'an Temple
to pray.

Oh, Xiguang,

what were you saying?

Never mind.

Count me in.

- Mr. Lin.
- Mr. Lin.

Are you heading to Shanghai too?

I can give you a lift.

That's great.

Thanks, Mr. Lin.

Let's go.

Hey,

Xiguang, take the front seat.

Here's your chance.

Try to get on Mr. Lin's good side.

Since it's the weekend,

everyone's a bit more relaxed.

Let's go.

Come on, Yuhua.

Hop in.

So, where are you guys headed?

We're going to Ping'an Temple first.

Yuhua is obsessed with temples.

I heard it's the best place
to pray for wealth.

I want to check out the Bund.

They say only tourists

go there,

but you know what, I am a tourist.

How about you, Mr. Lin?

Where are you going?

No pressure

if you'd rather not say.

Are we on your way?

If not,

you can just drop us off

after we exit the highway.

We can just call a cab.

Xiguang has been exhausted lately.

I heard that for the inventory,
she had to climb up and down all day

using the lifts and everything.

She even took a tumble, ending up

with scrapes all over her arms and legs.

And a box of parts even fell and hit her

right on the head.

[Ping'an Temple]

We're here.

Xiguang,

wake up.

We're here.

Where are we?

Ping'an Temple.

She

must be carsick

and needs to get some fresh air.

Well,

thank you for the ride, Mr. Lin.

Thanks, Mr. Lin.

Bye, Mr. Lin.

Mr. Lin is actually such a nice guy.

I thought he'd drop us off

the second we hit Shanghai

and make us call a cab.

He probably just saw Xiguang

sleeping like a log

and felt bad kicking us out.

That was such a missed opportunity.

It's the weekend.

Couldn't you have just said a few words

to smooth things over?

I don't need to suck up to him.

Why are you being so stubborn?

Hey, don't argue in front of the temple.

Let's just go in.

Who's arguing?

Whoever picks a fight is a loser.

You're the loser.

I'm not going in.

Wait, what? We're already here.

I made a decision.

I'll only pray to the Buddha
back in my hometown.

I've got to remain faithful.

So, I'm not going in. Period.

Fine, I'll go in with you,

since we're already here.

But from now on,

whenever Yin Jie and I get into it,

you have to back me up.

For sure.

I'll always be on your side,

not hers.

What should I

wish for?

You'll be handling
the rest of the inventory.

Why?

For abandoning your post.

May Mr. Lin Yusen

vanish at top speed.

A promotion, a transfer back to HQ,

whatever works.

I wouldn't mind
if aliens abducted him.

Just please make him disappear.

[Ping'an Temple]

So, what did you guys wish for?

You can't say it out loud.

Don't you know the rules?

That's right.

Fine, keep your secrets then.

But while you two were busy

getting in touch with the Buddha,

I've already mapped out our day.

First, a stroll along the Bund,

then straight to City God Temple

for xiaolongbao, salted vegetable rice,
and pork bone soup.

The ultimate Shanghai experience.

Let's move.

The Bund is a total tourist trap.

How about we just head
to City God Temple

for some xiaolongbao?

I'm down.

Xiguang, what do you think?

Xiguang?

Let's get across the river

to Lujiazui.

Why Pudong?

City God Temple is way closer,

and there's a food festival
going on right now.

Just imagine,

streets full of amazing food,

and it's super cheap.

There's good food everywhere.

Come on, Lujiazui.

My treat. A real feast.

For real?

You're buying?

Yeah.

A total feast.

But...

I still wanted to check out
the food festival.

There are tons of hot guys over there.

Real high-fliers.

Wait, really?

Of course.

It's the Financial Center,

the heartbeat of Shanghai.

It's all investment banks
and securities firms.

Trust me,
you'll be tripping over hot guys.

Go.

Shengyuan HQ

is somewhere around here, right?

I wonder if Mr. Lin is in there.

If he is, maybe we can

hitch a ride back with him?

Sir, take us

to the Shengyuan Building, please.

[Shengyuan Group]

Yusen.

Up for a round?

I haven't picked up a club in ages.

My game is definitely off.

Every time I tried getting you out
on the course, you've got some excuse.

Thought you might actually show me

what you've got on the simulator.

But I'm still stuck flying solo.

Have a seat.

Thanks, Mr. Li.

I take it you're not here

just to watch me play,

are you?

Let me guess.

It's about the funding

for the expansion in Suzhou.

So,

now that you've got
hands-on experience there,

how does it feel?

Well,

the real sector is a tough nut to crack.

It's given me a new appreciation

for what the founders went through.

But actually, I'm not here

to talk about the funds.

I know the group

just snatched up several plots of land.

Cash flow
is probably a bit tight right now.

Shuangyuan Phase III payment

came through right on time

thanks to you,

so I don't want to push my luck.

As for the remaining budget gap,

I'm going to explore

some other financing options.

Not for the project funds?

Then what is it?

I'm not sure

about something at the plant.

I want your take.

Something you're not sure about?

I'm listening.

Suzhou Procurement

found some bad apples.

I was wondering

how you'd suggest handling them.

[Shengyuan Group]

Xiguang,

are you actually going
to look for Mr. Lin?

What?

No.

There are tons of great restaurants
around here.

Let's just eat nearby.

Welcome. Please come in.

Isn't this place a bit pricey?

I've got reward

for all that overtime.

Hello, here's the menu.

Thanks.

You guys take a look.

I'll have flash-fried shrimp,

pea shoots in chicken oil,

stir-fried pork liver with soy sauce,

Shanghai-style braised pork,

sizzling eel strips in hot oil,

sweet and sour smoked fish,

stir-fried rice cakes with crab.

Anything else you guys want?

We're good.

This is plenty.

One more order of nanxiang xiaolongbao

and three mango pomelo sagos.

Coming right up.

Xiguang, are you crazy?

This is going to cost a fortune.

There's no way we can finish it all.

Well,

we'll just take our time.

[Shengyuan Group]
[Huaya Bank]

It's a shark tank out there,

no matter which side you're on.

If the water is too clear,
there will be no fish.

Tightening the leash too much

will only end up

crushing their morale.

I grew up watching you

run the show.

I understand the rules of the game.

But from what I've seen,

it's clear this is having some blowback

inside the company.

Before 2009,

Shuangyuan's PV glass supplier

was always

Qicai Glass,

an Aiyue Group subsidiary.

But after 2009,

Procurement switched to imports.

They're more expensive

and have shorter payment terms,

yet in terms of quality,

there's no real difference.

If it were just about price

and terms,

I'd stay quiet

just to keep the peace.

[Purchase and Sale Agreement]

But Aiyue and Shengyuan

are old partners.

For Procurement

to risk a partnership like that

over some measly kickbacks,

it's just bush league.

Aiyue Group? Since 2009?

Exactly.

Qicai Glass

is a pet project

for the Aiyue chairman's grandson.

You probably noticed

that starting in 2009,

Aiyue suddenly

went cold on us.

This is quite the paper trail

you've put together.

You've just been transferred to Suzhou,

and you're already hunting for heads.

Tell me.

What else

did you find on this person?

Nothing gets past you, does it?

He called me unprofessional

in front of the staff.

Said I can't lead.

Don't I have any pride?

So you just want to pull the rug out

from under him?

Immature.

You've got to learn
to play the long game.

I'll

handle this.

You stay out of it.

Thanks, Grandpa.

[Shengyuan Group]

Dig up some dirt on him

from his time at Shengyuan.

Don't tie Shuangyuan

to the grounds for the investigation.

You're still

shielding Yusen.

Or Bokai

would get the wrong idea.

Why else

would he come to me?

With all the dirt he's got,

he could've finished the job himself.

Not necessarily.

He holds you in such high regard

and would never act
without checking with you first.

He's

thorough, sharp,

a natural-born player.

Such a pity.

Seriously,

I'm

at capacity.

So

where to next?

There's a café right nearby.

Their afternoon tea is famous.

Want to head over and hang out?

Please, no.

I'm begging you.

Can we please do something else?

But their cakes are amazing.

Especially the strawberry mille-feuille.

No way.

I'm full up to my neck.

But my knees really hurt.

I can't walk another step.

Stop being such a brat.

Even though Xiguang started this,

Yin Jie,

you have zero self-control.

Weren't you supposed to be on a diet?

All those days of starving yourself
went down the drain.

That's exactly

why I'm like this.

Do you have any idea

what it's like to stare

at your favorite food

and not be allowed

to touch it?

The more you suppress the urge,

the harder

it is to control.

Then you'll just snap.

The more you hold it in,
the harder it is to resist.

If I just hadn't seen the food at all,

I would've been fine.

You people who've never dieted

wouldn't understand.

The more you hold it in,

the harder it is to resist?

Exactly.

So, a sudden impulse isn't something

to be ashamed of.

It doesn't mean you're weak,

right?

Of course not.

It's just a buffer.

A way of taking things slow.

Thank you.

For what?

I think my love handles

should be the one thanking you.

Xiguang,

you've been staring out there forever.

See any hot guys?

I haven't seen a single one.

I've been watching that building

across the street,

but it's just security guards

going in and out.

I've been meaning to ask,

it's Saturday, right?

Hot guys don't work on Saturdays.

Oh, right.

It is Saturday.

If it weren't Saturday,

how would we have time
to come to Shanghai?

All this overtime
has turned my brain into mush.

Xiguang really led us
on a wild goose chase.

Xiguang,

just admit it.

You're a total foodie.

You just came here for the food.

I'm sorry.

What are you apologizing for?

I'm having a blast

eating all this.

Let's keep going.

Anyway, the calories are already in.

Might as well go down swinging.
