[Episode 14]

10
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,580
Foodie, foodie, foodie...

11
00:01:53,679 --> 00:01:55,380
Shoot.

12
00:01:55,380 --> 00:01:57,600
Seems Nie is the chosen one after all.

13
00:01:59,479 --> 00:02:00,999
Congrats!

14
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,680
Congrats!

15
00:02:06,380 --> 00:02:09,460
I didn't mess up the odds, did I?

16
00:02:09,460 --> 00:02:12,420
Not at all. Thanks, Mr. Lin.

17
00:02:12,420 --> 00:02:17,020
All right, I'm handing this grand mission
over to Nie and Cui Qin.

18
00:02:27,020 --> 00:02:28,559
What's the deal here?

19
00:02:28,559 --> 00:02:30,020
What do you mean?

20
00:02:30,020 --> 00:02:32,599
It's called courtesy.

21
00:02:32,599 --> 00:02:34,159
Then how come
he didn't show me any courtesy?

22
00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:36,300
You're the one who rushed to go first.

23
00:02:36,300 --> 00:02:37,480
Anyway, I've gotta get to work.

24
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,260
I'm skipping out tomorrow
for that tasting, you know.

25
00:02:44,899 --> 00:02:46,620
I smell something fishy.

26
00:02:51,260 --> 00:02:53,379
Is everyone here?

27
00:02:53,379 --> 00:02:56,020
I'm truly thrilled to be here today.

28
00:02:56,020 --> 00:02:59,980
Honestly, the cafeteria hasn't been
this full of life in ages.

29
00:02:59,980 --> 00:03:02,939
I know you've all had complaints
about our cafeteria.

30
00:03:02,939 --> 00:03:05,700
For various reasons, our hands were tied.

31
00:03:05,700 --> 00:03:09,939
But the days of terrible food
are finally coming to an end.

32
00:03:09,939 --> 00:03:12,500
- Awesome!
- Great!

33
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:19,320
So, we've shortlisted
three different catering companies

34
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,580
for everyone to try out and vote on.

35
00:03:21,580 --> 00:03:23,700
And just to make sure
everything is completely above board,

36
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:27,899
the caterers will be going by codenames.

37
00:03:27,899 --> 00:03:30,620
They are Braised Pork...

38
00:03:31,460 --> 00:03:32,859
Sweet and Sour Fried Pork...

39
00:03:34,399 --> 00:03:37,419
and Twice-Cooked Pork.

40
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,119
Does Sweet and Sour Fried Pork
mean they provide Northeast dishes?

41
00:03:42,119 --> 00:03:44,140
Twice-Cooked Pork for Sichuan dishes?

42
00:03:44,140 --> 00:03:46,559
It's not about the culinary styles.

43
00:03:46,559 --> 00:03:47,980
They're just codenames.

44
00:03:47,980 --> 00:03:49,779
Mr. Hua, welcome.

45
00:03:49,779 --> 00:03:51,520
I won the draw.

46
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,260
Let's get this show on the road.
The food's getting cold.

47
00:03:53,260 --> 00:03:55,219
Alright, one last thing.

48
00:03:55,219 --> 00:03:57,939
Please make your vote count.

49
00:03:57,939 --> 00:04:00,359
Now, everyone, please line up
and grab your food.

50
00:04:01,020 --> 00:04:02,239
Let's go.

51
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,120
Mr. Lin, welcome.

52
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,899
Yeah, I'm starving,
so I thought I'd come score a free meal.

53
00:04:18,899 --> 00:04:21,899
Glad to have you.
Shall I get you a few things to try?

54
00:04:21,899 --> 00:04:23,739
No. I'll go join my department.

55
00:04:23,739 --> 00:04:25,519
Alright. Over there.

56
00:04:28,460 --> 00:04:31,239
Everything smells so amazing.

57
00:04:31,239 --> 00:04:32,899
Wait, I gotta pace myself.

58
00:04:32,899 --> 00:04:34,399
I should only take a tiny bit of each.

59
00:04:34,399 --> 00:04:37,639
Or else, I'll be bursting
by the second vendor.

60
00:04:38,399 --> 00:04:40,940
You're underestimating yourself, aren't you?

61
00:04:40,940 --> 00:04:42,979
Mr. Lin, you're here too?

62
00:04:42,979 --> 00:04:45,859
Since I didn't win the draw,
I just showed my face to get some food.

63
00:04:45,859 --> 00:04:47,620
Too bad I don't have a vote.

64
00:04:47,620 --> 00:04:48,680
That won't do.

65
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,840
You're the one who spearheaded
this whole vendor switch, Mr. Lin.

66
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,740
Then Nie and I will share one vote.

67
00:04:58,740 --> 00:05:00,419
Huh?

68
00:05:00,419 --> 00:05:01,800
Got a problem with that?

69
00:05:03,339 --> 00:05:05,820
About the drawing earlier...

70
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,079
Not at all.

71
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,959
It's my pleasure.

72
00:05:18,620 --> 00:05:22,560
That's quite a variety... for sampling.

73
00:05:24,140 --> 00:05:25,640
Of course.

74
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,380
I take my job seriously.

75
00:05:32,599 --> 00:05:35,659
That's a pretty weak selection.

76
00:05:35,659 --> 00:05:40,200
Well, in that case,
I should get 80% of the say.

77
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,579
How could you just make up the rules
on the fly?

78
00:05:51,820 --> 00:05:55,579
Mr. Hua is taking this way
too scientifically.

79
00:05:59,919 --> 00:06:01,719
- Let's dig in.
- Let's dig in.

80
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:25,579
This is great.

81
00:06:30,859 --> 00:06:32,500
I'm about to explode.

82
00:06:32,500 --> 00:06:34,479
I'm going with the Twice-Cooked Pork.

83
00:06:34,479 --> 00:06:35,719
I'm voting for the Sweet and Sour Fried Pork.

84
00:06:35,719 --> 00:06:38,180
- Theirs is definitely the best.
- What?

85
00:06:38,180 --> 00:06:40,159
But theirs is a bit too sweet,
don't you think?

86
00:06:40,159 --> 00:06:41,539
I don't think so.

87
00:06:41,539 --> 00:06:44,380
If it were just for me,
I'd actually prefer it even sweeter.

88
00:06:44,380 --> 00:06:47,560
But considering everyone else,
it's just the right amount of sweetness.

89
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,280
You Wuxi people are terrifying.

90
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:51,640
But you still have to see
what Mr. Lin thinks.

91
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,820
Don't you two share a vote?

92
00:06:57,500 --> 00:06:59,779
I prefer...

93
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,040
Braised Pork.

94
00:07:07,159 --> 00:07:09,839
Why don't you give it another taste?

95
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,240
I can follow your lead on the vote.

96
00:07:16,060 --> 00:07:21,760
Though, I think your favorite
is likely going to lose.

97
00:07:23,081 --> 00:07:24,701
I'm going to drop off my plate.

98
00:07:43,580 --> 00:07:45,760
Wait, you're letting me vote?

99
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:46,779
No.

100
00:07:46,779 --> 00:07:48,560
We're 100% going with
Sweet and Sour Fried Pork.

101
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:53,200
But since you have that 20% authority,
I want to honor it.

102
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,199
So, I'm handing the power of the pen
over to you.

103
00:07:58,260 --> 00:08:01,099
Nie, you certainly understand
the distribution of power.

104
00:08:01,099 --> 00:08:02,940
Thanks for making me feel included.

105

[Sweet and Sour Fried Pork]

106
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,279
One vote for Braised Pork.

107

One vote for Twice-Cooked Pork.

108
00:08:17,780 --> 00:08:19,900
One vote for Braised Pork.

109
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,479
One vote for Twice-Cooked Pork.

110
00:08:22,479 --> 00:08:24,479
Oh no.

111
00:08:24,479 --> 00:08:28,560
I'll never get to eat food this good
in the cafeteria again.

112
00:08:30,260 --> 00:08:31,580
You really have a sweet tooth, don't you?

113
00:08:31,580 --> 00:08:32,760
One vote for Braised Pork.

114
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,019
It's really not that sweet.

115
00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:40,879
I just checked which other restaurants
this caterer has in its portfolio.

116
00:08:40,879 --> 00:08:42,840
I'm going to take you through all of them,
one by one.

117
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,339
I hereby announce the winner
with the most votes

118
00:08:50,339 --> 00:08:51,760
is Twice-Cooked Pork.

119
00:09:00,660 --> 00:09:02,159
What's on your mind?

120
00:09:03,820 --> 00:09:08,360
I'm giving serious thought
to the request you made.

121
00:09:12,079 --> 00:09:13,660
Any conclusions yet?

122
00:09:14,979 --> 00:09:17,340
It's not that simple.

123
00:09:18,060 --> 00:09:19,919
There are still a lot of issues to consider.

124
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,420
For example,

125
00:09:25,420 --> 00:09:28,460
if the cafeteria contractor has to
go through a formal bidding process,

126
00:09:28,460 --> 00:09:32,840
does that mean the PV Garden
has to go through one too?

127
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:42,519
When you say my request,
you mean the PV Garden?

128
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,820
Yeah.

129
00:09:44,820 --> 00:09:46,965
Wasn't this the task you assigned to me
in the dead of night,

130
00:09:46,965 --> 00:09:49,380
with such utmost gravity?

131
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,980
So, what's the verdict?

132
00:10:08,639 --> 00:10:10,499
A formal bid isn't strictly necessary.

133
00:10:10,499 --> 00:10:12,460
- You have the final say, Boss Nie.
- Alright.

134
00:10:12,460 --> 00:10:15,720
I'll put a proposal together
and get it to you soonest possible.

135
00:10:16,475 --> 00:10:18,560
But...

136
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:22,440
I feel like I've taken on
a lot of extra work here.

137
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,440
Is there any compensation
from you and the company?

138
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,799
For instance, an overtime meal stipend?

139
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,800
Absolutely.

140
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,359
However, it might not be appropriate
to bill the company.

141
00:10:36,359 --> 00:10:38,179
How about I pay you out of my own pocket?

142
00:10:46,580 --> 00:10:48,619
The honey-glazed crispy pork looks good.

143
00:10:48,619 --> 00:10:50,119
Over there.

144
00:10:50,119 --> 00:10:51,680
Yum.

145
00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:53,220
- Hi.
- We're here.

146
00:10:58,780 --> 00:11:02,219
Better food in the cafeteria
isn't all good news.

147
00:11:02,219 --> 00:11:05,200
Actually, come to think of it,
it's mostly bad.

148
00:11:06,060 --> 00:11:07,239
Let's hear it.

149
00:11:07,239 --> 00:11:12,060
First, it's too crowded,
and the lines are forever.

150
00:11:12,060 --> 00:11:15,714
Second, the food is so good
that I've been overdoing it

151
00:11:15,714 --> 00:11:17,353
and now I'm gaining weight.

152
00:11:19,639 --> 00:11:22,835
But I remember back when I first joined,

153
00:11:22,835 --> 00:11:27,259
someone told me bad food at the cafeteria
makes you fat

154
00:11:27,259 --> 00:11:29,580
because you binge later to feel satisfied.

155
00:11:29,580 --> 00:11:30,900
Who?

156
00:11:30,900 --> 00:11:34,559
Who would say such nonsense?

157
00:11:35,619 --> 00:11:37,420
A little puppy said that.

158
00:11:37,420 --> 00:11:39,440
Anyway, you guys are quick.

159
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:40,839
Already digging in.

160
00:11:40,839 --> 00:11:43,759
You didn't sneak out of work early, did you?

161
00:11:43,759 --> 00:11:46,379
Here, have some juice
to get some vitamins into your system.

162
00:11:46,379 --> 00:11:49,019
Hey, don't call us out like that.
We only slipped away a few minutes earlier.

163
00:11:49,019 --> 00:11:50,680
I'm so jealous.

164
00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:54,019
We've got two giants crushing us.
We can't even move.

165
00:11:54,019 --> 00:11:55,500
We're the ones who are jealous.

166
00:11:55,500 --> 00:11:58,239
You get to enjoy eye candy like Mr. Lin
every day.

167
00:11:58,239 --> 00:11:59,580
What's there to envy?

168
00:11:59,580 --> 00:12:01,320
It's not like he belongs to us.

169
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,760
Xi Guang, right?

170
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,060
Huh?

171
00:12:05,060 --> 00:12:06,519
Xi Guang, a quick question.

172
00:12:06,519 --> 00:12:08,440
The food here is better now.

173
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,159
So why have you been eating out
every night instead?

174
00:12:16,739 --> 00:12:18,460
Eat up.

175
00:12:18,460 --> 00:12:21,519
The year-end party gifts
are coming in at 12:30 PM.

176
00:12:21,519 --> 00:12:22,820
We need to go and check them in.

177
00:12:22,820 --> 00:12:24,139
Hurry up.

178
00:12:33,099 --> 00:12:34,859
This one is great!

179
00:12:34,859 --> 00:12:37,660
I want this one and that one, too!

180
00:12:37,660 --> 00:12:40,379
We have great taste.
Everything's so practical.

181
00:12:40,379 --> 00:12:41,739
I don't really care about these.

182
00:12:41,739 --> 00:12:43,719
I just want to win the paid leave.

183
00:12:43,719 --> 00:12:45,940
Who doesn't want that?

184
00:12:45,940 --> 00:12:47,499
- Cui Qin.
- Yes?

185
00:12:47,499 --> 00:12:50,780
Mr. Zhang, Mr. Lin, and Procurement
have a meeting at 3 PM.

186
00:12:50,780 --> 00:12:52,739
I need you to take the minutes.

187
00:12:52,739 --> 00:12:54,859
Mr. Wang, I have to go to the plant
this afternoon.

188
00:12:54,859 --> 00:12:56,619
I'm not sure when I'll be back.

189
00:12:56,619 --> 00:12:59,499
Mr. Wang, I'll take care of it.

190
00:12:59,499 --> 00:13:00,720
- Alright.
- Thanks.

191
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,120
Nie can do it too.

192
00:13:05,619 --> 00:13:07,019
Thank you.

193
00:13:17,820 --> 00:13:19,960
What's your point?

194
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,219
So you're not dodging Mr. Lin anymore?

195
00:13:21,219 --> 00:13:23,080
What are you talking about?
When did I ever dodge him?

196
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,919
Got any proof to back that up?

197
00:13:29,739 --> 00:13:31,300
Due to external factors,

198
00:13:31,300 --> 00:13:35,320
many of Procurement's suppliers
need to be re-vetted and re-engaged.

199
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,900
Mr. Lin recently provided us
with the company's key raw material

200
00:13:39,900 --> 00:13:41,639
external RFQ list in 2012.
[PV Glass Price Comparison]

201
00:13:41,639 --> 00:13:44,519
This helped us streamline
the supplier shortlist much faster.

202
00:13:44,519 --> 00:13:48,020
Then, based on my past experience with
the vendors throughout our collaborations,

203
00:13:48,020 --> 00:13:51,139
Procurement has drafted a preliminary
supplier assessment list.

204
00:13:51,139 --> 00:13:53,339
First, regarding photovoltaic glass,

205
00:13:53,339 --> 00:13:56,080
our top recommendations
are these two manufacturers:

206
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,160
Qicai Glass and Mingyan Glass.

207
00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,498
From a pricing perspective,

208
00:13:59,498 --> 00:14:02,460
Qicai is about five percent
higher than Mingyan.

209
00:14:02,460 --> 00:14:06,259
However, Qicai's quality control and capacity
are more stable.

210
00:14:06,259 --> 00:14:08,660
Furthermore, over the past few days,
I have been in contact with them.

211
00:14:08,660 --> 00:14:10,719
Technologically,
they have made another breakthrough,

212
00:14:10,719 --> 00:14:13,100
and they have very warmly invited us
to conduct an on-site inspection.

213
00:14:13,100 --> 00:14:15,639
Qicai Glass is an old friend of ours.

214
00:14:15,639 --> 00:14:17,871
Their management team truly prioritizes

215
00:14:17,871 --> 00:14:20,160
RandD innovation and quality control.

216
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,960
You should consider flying there for a visit.

217
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,940
We're on the same page.
I'm planning to go.

218
00:14:24,940 --> 00:14:28,040
I've met Mr. Wu from Qicai once before.

219
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,479
I'll fly out this time as well.

220
00:14:29,479 --> 00:14:31,560
Let's try to finalize everything in one trip.

221
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,740
Wang Qi, you're coming with me.

222
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,160
What dates are we talking about?

223
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,900
There are a lot of meetings and events
before Chinese New Year.

224
00:14:39,900 --> 00:14:41,979
Mr. Zhang asked me to attend those.

225
00:14:41,979 --> 00:14:44,860
I'm afraid my schedule is already packed.

226
00:14:46,060 --> 00:14:50,239
This inquiry list from Administration
is quite comprehensive.

227
00:14:50,239 --> 00:14:51,820
I wonder who prepared it.

228
00:14:51,820 --> 00:14:53,900
Actually, we should consider
bringing that person along.

229
00:14:53,900 --> 00:14:56,900
As for my team,
I'll be bringing Mr. Wang Xin.

230
00:14:56,900 --> 00:15:00,480
I had Nie put together this inquiry document.

231
00:15:02,519 --> 00:15:04,979
Wang Qi reminded me that
with the end of the year approaching,

232
00:15:04,979 --> 00:15:07,820
we need to check the department's schedule.

233
00:15:07,820 --> 00:15:09,080
It could just be the three of us.

234
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,956
Why don't you coordinate the schedule
with them?

235
00:15:10,956 --> 00:15:12,096
Sure.

236
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,320
Then let's wrap up today's meeting.

237
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:18,519
Okay.

238
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,780
Nie, wait.

239
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:37,660
Nie, you looked very distrustful.

240
00:15:37,660 --> 00:15:42,000
Because you have a bit of a track record.

241
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,439
True.

242
00:15:45,379 --> 00:15:47,320
But not this time.

243
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,559
Because I'm still caught in a dilemma.

244
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,939
About what?

245
00:15:54,719 --> 00:15:57,060
The approach.

246
00:15:57,060 --> 00:16:00,519
I believe pursuing a girl should be upfront.

247
00:16:00,519 --> 00:16:05,619
But doing so in the office
will definitely get people talking.

248
00:16:05,619 --> 00:16:07,179
It wouldn't be fair to you.

249
00:16:13,420 --> 00:16:17,100
You're overthinking it a bit.

250
00:16:18,180 --> 00:16:21,220
That's just how the world works,
so I have to consider every detail.

251
00:16:24,420 --> 00:16:25,820
But there is a way.

252
00:16:25,820 --> 00:16:29,139
Nie, why don't you stop
hiding your true identity?

253
00:16:29,139 --> 00:16:31,680
Then, most of the talk will be focused on me.

254
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,899
And I can finally show you what I'm made of.

255
00:16:37,068 --> 00:16:41,240
Mr. Lin, Mr. Zhang asked me
to have you look over this document first.

256
00:16:44,499 --> 00:16:47,939
Think about the business trip
and get back to me.

257
00:16:53,999 --> 00:16:55,700
A business trip.

258
00:16:58,300 --> 00:16:59,760
I seriously can't help myself anymore.

259
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,639
Xi Guang, you're going with Mr. Lin?

260
00:17:01,639 --> 00:17:02,979
Just the two of you?

261
00:17:02,979 --> 00:17:06,220
Oh my goodness,
I knew there was something going on.

262
00:17:06,220 --> 00:17:08,789
Nie Xi Guang, if you don't admit
that Mr. Lin is pursuing you,

263
00:17:08,789 --> 00:17:10,660
I'm so done with you.

264
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,431
Hey.

265
00:17:20,079 --> 00:17:21,640
You know...

266
00:17:22,700 --> 00:17:28,079
I used to be a very fearless person.

267
00:17:28,079 --> 00:17:30,360
Back then, if I liked someone,

268
00:17:30,360 --> 00:17:32,420
I'd go all in and pursue them.

269
00:17:34,259 --> 00:17:36,779
I wasn't like this,

270
00:17:36,779 --> 00:17:40,279
so hesitant and self-conscious
about even being pursued.

271
00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:43,539
Lin Yu Sen was right.

272
00:17:43,539 --> 00:17:46,680
His feelings for me aren't a burden.

273
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,107
Even if I haven't fully moved on yet,

274
00:17:51,107 --> 00:17:53,727
there's no need to be so guarded and elusive.

275
00:17:55,380 --> 00:17:58,600
I once had the courage
to chase after someone.

276
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,640
So why can't I find that same courage
to let myself be pursued?

277
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:08,000
What does any of this
have to do with my question?

278
00:18:09,239 --> 00:18:10,879
A lot, actually.

279
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,900
It means...

280
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,979
you were right.

281
00:18:16,979 --> 00:18:18,219
He is pursuing me.

282
00:18:18,219 --> 00:18:19,619
Really?

283
00:18:26,900 --> 00:18:30,480
He's dead serious.

284
00:19:17,770 --> 00:19:18,966
- [Thanks, dinner was delicious.]
- [Too sweet. Need to work it off.]

285
00:19:18,966 --> 00:19:20,020
- [It was fine.]
- [Wuxi food is no joke.]

286
00:19:20,020 --> 00:19:22,900
[Keep at it!]
Why isn't he replying?

287
00:19:23,799 --> 00:19:25,440
How rude.

288
00:19:42,239 --> 00:19:44,500
Did he fall asleep?

289
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,766
[Mr. Lin]

290
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,260
- Hello.
- I was just in the shower.

291
00:20:09,260 --> 00:20:11,220
Tell me, Miss Nie.

292
00:20:12,219 --> 00:20:14,099
What does "keep at it" mean exactly?

293
00:20:20,739 --> 00:20:23,019
What?

294
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,580
The message you just sent me.

295
00:20:26,580 --> 00:20:30,120
♫ Raindrops ♫

296
00:20:30,120 --> 00:20:31,892
Maybe I sent it to the wrong person.

297
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:35,740
The wrong person?

298
00:20:36,460 --> 00:20:39,590
I thought you were trying
to mess with my head.

299
00:20:39,590 --> 00:20:42,640
♫ And the world stops ♫

300
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,412
Why would I do that?

301
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,819
Well, that's disappointing then.

302
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,755
What if you meant to send it?

303
00:20:54,079 --> 00:20:55,839
What would you be trying to say?

304
00:20:56,700 --> 00:21:00,360
So you're saying the "revolution"
is not yet complete,

305
00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:05,960
the "comrade" still needs to work hard,
though the "policy" is now open?

306
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,134
♫ I'll be there ♫

307
00:21:10,134 --> 00:21:14,839
Wow, your understanding is really next-level.

308
00:21:16,299 --> 00:21:18,140
Am I guessing it right?

309
00:21:18,900 --> 00:21:22,528
♫ Stay right here ♫

310
00:21:22,528 --> 00:21:26,400
♫ Cause' you and I were meant to be ♫

311
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,519
There are two things I need to tell you.

312
00:21:30,519 --> 00:21:31,839
Go ahead.

313
00:21:33,759 --> 00:21:37,340
First, I'd like to go on the business trip.

314
00:21:37,340 --> 00:21:39,420
I just want to get out for a bit.

315
00:21:39,420 --> 00:21:43,039
No, I want to go see how things are done.

316
00:21:45,420 --> 00:21:46,660
Okay.

317
00:21:48,700 --> 00:21:51,819
One more thing.

318
00:21:58,860 --> 00:22:01,299
I want you to show what you're capable of...

319
00:22:02,892 --> 00:22:04,592
out in the open.

320
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,563
There might be some gossips at first...

321
00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:16,211
but it's the gossips that should
take the blame, not you.

322
00:22:17,380 --> 00:22:19,760
So please, don't hold yourself back.

323
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,779
But if the rumors are still targeting me
in two weeks,

324
00:22:25,779 --> 00:22:27,980
then you are the one to blame, too.

325
00:22:28,819 --> 00:22:31,759
It would mean I haven't done enough.

326
00:22:31,759 --> 00:22:33,440
Exactly.

327
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,740
So you'd better keep it up.

328
00:22:37,539 --> 00:22:40,920
If every friend of mine starts saying,

329
00:22:41,580 --> 00:22:46,200
"Xi Guang, Mr. Lin isn't serious,
be careful."

330
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,759
Then I'm going to bail immediately.

331
00:22:48,759 --> 00:22:50,500
Then...

332
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,564
how about giving me
a list of your best friends?

333
00:22:56,340 --> 00:22:57,999
No chance.

334

I'm not helping you cheat.

335
00:23:03,519 --> 00:23:05,800
Okay, I'm done. I'm going to sleep now.

353
00:25:27,539 --> 00:25:32,799
Last year, we upgraded our PV glass lines
and optimized our tech.

354
00:25:32,799 --> 00:25:40,539
We added new nano-coating gear
for our in-house self-cleaning glass.

355
00:25:40,539 --> 00:25:43,879
To the right is our production facility.

Ms. Chen mentioned
Shuangyuan expanded its lines?

357
00:25:53,019 --> 00:25:56,440
Yes. The Phase II plant should be finished
after Chinese New Year

358
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:57,920
and will start production in H1.

359
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,660
We are making a move against the tide.

360
00:26:00,660 --> 00:26:01,960
I really have to give it to you.

361
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,100
Great minds think alike.

362
00:26:04,100 --> 00:26:07,479
You flatter me. I've got nothing on
how you've been grinding away, Mr. Wu.

363
00:26:07,479 --> 00:26:11,900
When the market picks up again,
Qicai will definitely be the one to beat.

364
00:26:11,900 --> 00:26:13,460
It's a small-time operation.

365
00:26:13,460 --> 00:26:14,840
Really, it's nothing.

366
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,219
Mr. Lin, to have you visit us in person,
is such a surprise!

367
00:26:18,219 --> 00:26:21,259
At first glance, I was thinking
who this sharp-looking young man is.

368
00:26:21,259 --> 00:26:22,880
And he looked so familiar.

369
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,779
Then it hit me that we've met before.

370
00:26:24,779 --> 00:26:28,160
It was back in Shanghai,
having tea with some friends.

371
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:29,219
That was three years ago.

372
00:26:29,219 --> 00:26:32,579
Back then, I never imagined
our paths would cross again like this.

373
00:26:32,579 --> 00:26:34,479
Tell me about it!

374
00:26:34,479 --> 00:26:36,979
Didn't you used to be a doctor?

375
00:26:36,979 --> 00:26:39,340
What brought on the sudden switch to PV?

376
00:26:39,340 --> 00:26:42,079
Shengyuan really doesn't take
Shuangyuan seriously.

377
00:26:42,079 --> 00:26:44,279
And the people working under them are even...

378
00:26:45,719 --> 00:26:49,140
Oh? Did someone there offend you, Mr. Wu?

379
00:26:49,140 --> 00:26:52,059
It was your former Head of Procurement.

380
00:26:52,059 --> 00:26:53,460
Not only did he drag his feet on payments,

381
00:26:53,460 --> 00:26:55,680
but he also claimed
our quality control was subpar.

382
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,859
He was basically trashing our reputation.

383
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,319
You mean Mr. Mo?

384
00:27:00,319 --> 00:27:02,400
Right, that's the one, Mo.

385
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,379
Why? Does he have a bad reputation
at your company, too?

386
00:27:08,819 --> 00:27:12,059
There was a high-quality dorm,

387
00:27:12,059 --> 00:27:14,720
but Mr. Mo's relative cut the line
and snatched it up.

388
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:15,888
When Mr. Lin found out,

389
00:27:15,888 --> 00:27:18,460
he went to great lengths
to get them back for us.

390
00:27:18,460 --> 00:27:22,420
Ever since then, Mr. Mo has been...

391
00:27:30,360 --> 00:27:33,900
He actually dared to give you an attitude?

392
00:27:35,340 --> 00:27:36,539
Let's drop it.

393
00:27:36,539 --> 00:27:39,100
That's just how it is
in these big family businesses.

394
00:27:39,100 --> 00:27:41,100
Everything is so intertwined.

395
00:27:41,100 --> 00:27:43,600
So, is he no longer in charge of procurement?

396
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:44,920
No.

397
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,019
Late last year, during a HQ internal audit,

398
00:27:47,019 --> 00:27:50,519
he was flagged for financial irregularities
during his time there.

399
00:27:50,519 --> 00:27:54,200
Later, they found out his record
at Shuangyuan wasn't clean either.

400
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,960
So...

401
00:27:57,180 --> 00:28:00,279
I just didn't realize
he had crossed you as well.

402
00:28:00,279 --> 00:28:03,039
I'm going to bring this up
with my grandfather.

403
00:28:04,460 --> 00:28:05,979
Why didn't you lead

404
00:28:05,979 --> 00:28:08,259
with such a massive piece of good news
the moment we met?

405
00:28:08,259 --> 00:28:10,219
Forget about telling your grandfather.

406
00:28:10,219 --> 00:28:11,799
It's fine.

407
00:28:11,799 --> 00:28:13,059
I'm not a petty man.

408
00:28:13,059 --> 00:28:14,479
I only have one question.

409
00:28:14,479 --> 00:28:16,019
Is he behind bars?

410
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,180
Pretty much.

411
00:28:18,180 --> 00:28:19,999
Sen, you've only just arrived,

412
00:28:19,999 --> 00:28:22,319
and you've already settled an old score
for me.

413
00:28:22,319 --> 00:28:25,380
I'm a big believer in fate and energy.

414
00:28:25,380 --> 00:28:27,079
Our signs must be perfectly aligned.

415
00:28:27,079 --> 00:28:29,719
We really should stay in close touch.

416
00:28:29,719 --> 00:28:30,799
I'd be more than happy to.

417
00:28:30,799 --> 00:28:34,299
I'm new to the industry,
so I have a lot to learn from you.

418
00:28:34,299 --> 00:28:35,819
Of course.

419
00:28:35,819 --> 00:28:38,100
We're in the same supply chain.

420
00:28:38,100 --> 00:28:40,519
We rise and fall together.

421
00:28:40,519 --> 00:28:47,059
To be honest, my beef with Mo isn't just
about a personal grudge.

422
00:28:47,059 --> 00:28:49,319
The main thing is, he cut ties with us

423
00:28:49,319 --> 00:28:52,400
and immediately started sourcing
overpriced Japanese products instead.

424
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:53,759
In fact, over the last few years,

425
00:28:53,759 --> 00:28:56,640
the quality of domestic PV glass
has completely caught up.

426
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,819
There's really no need
to be so obsessed with foreign brands.

427
00:29:00,819 --> 00:29:02,259
True.

428
00:29:02,259 --> 00:29:05,499
Full localization of the entire
PV industry chain is only a matter of time.

429
00:29:05,499 --> 00:29:06,839
Exactly.

430
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,100
We've been talking all this time,
and I still don't have your contact info.

431
00:29:10,100 --> 00:29:12,920

00:29:21,940 --> 00:29:23,340
My stomach is starting to growl.

435
00:29:23,340 --> 00:29:26,799
How about having dinner
in our VIP dining room today?

436
00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:28,320
It's just up ahead.

437
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,319
Mr. Lin, please don't mind the simplicity.

438
00:29:30,319 --> 00:29:32,219
Our house-made braised specialties
and Char Siu

439
00:29:32,219 --> 00:29:34,479
are more authentic
than any five-star restaurant.

440
00:29:34,479 --> 00:29:38,319
Then let's see if your kitchen's
quality control lives up to its name.

441
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,334
By the way, several power station projects
in Northwest China

442
00:29:43,334 --> 00:29:44,759
are about to go out to tender.

443
00:29:44,759 --> 00:29:47,440
Sen, do you have any plans for those?

444
00:29:52,579 --> 00:29:55,579
I used to deal with their upper management.

445
00:29:55,579 --> 00:29:58,559
This is the first time
I've met Mr. Wu in person.

446
00:29:58,559 --> 00:30:02,180
I thought he was just another second-gen
riding the coattails of Aiyue Group.

447
00:30:02,180 --> 00:30:05,319
I didn't expect him
to know the business so well.

448
00:30:05,319 --> 00:30:08,379
That's how Cantonese entrepreneurs are.
Low-key and practical.

449
00:30:10,140 --> 00:30:12,140
So, about the terms we discussed today...

450
00:30:12,140 --> 00:30:14,620
- Squeeze them a bit more on the price.
- Got it.

451
00:30:14,620 --> 00:30:18,519
Then I'll play the bad cop,
and Mr. Lin, you play the good cop.

452
00:30:25,719 --> 00:30:29,600
So, do you guys have WeChat yet?

453
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:30,779
Yeah.

454
00:30:30,779 --> 00:30:32,380
But I don't use it much.

455
00:30:32,380 --> 00:30:34,779
I mostly use it to chat with my girlfriend.

456
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,319
I just got it recently.
Haven't used it much either.

457
00:30:39,319 --> 00:30:42,340
But this app will likely
become the mainstream.

458
00:30:42,340 --> 00:30:44,900
For sure. It's free. What's not to love?

459
00:30:45,739 --> 00:30:48,800
Once we get to the hotel and have Wi-Fi,
I'll download it, too.

460
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,300
Yin Jie told me to get it last month,
but I didn't.

461
00:30:51,300 --> 00:30:54,460
Mr. Lin, you didn't even give me a heads-up.
Now I'm way behind the curve.

462
00:30:55,620 --> 00:30:58,579
Sorry, my bad.

463
00:31:05,860 --> 00:31:07,940
Can I have everyone's ID card?
I'll go handle the check-in.

464
00:31:07,940 --> 00:31:09,119
Sure.

465
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,940
- I'll take it.
- Thanks.

466
00:31:22,340 --> 00:31:24,320
Mr. Lin, maybe I should do it.

467
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:25,860
After all, Nie is...

468
00:31:25,860 --> 00:31:27,160
It's fine.

469
00:31:28,719 --> 00:31:31,559
When I booked online, I found a bundle deal

470
00:31:31,559 --> 00:31:33,620
that includes free access
to the executive lounge.

471
00:31:33,620 --> 00:31:35,840
Plus, each room comes with
a complimentary spa session.

472
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,360
It closes at 11 PM.

473
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,180
You guys can still make it now.

474
00:31:39,180 --> 00:31:42,640
Nie is so thorough and thoughtful.

475
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,559
Before booking,
she even asked for my preferences.

476
00:31:45,559 --> 00:31:47,979
I told her I had none,
that we could just share a room,

477
00:31:47,979 --> 00:31:49,079
it's totally up to her.

478
00:31:49,079 --> 00:31:51,019
I learned it all from my colleagues.
Let's go.

479
00:31:51,019 --> 00:31:52,519
- Okay.
- This way.

00:31:55,299 --> 00:31:57,640
Hi, do you have any openings for the spa?

[Installation failed]
[Insufficient storage space]

482
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,460
Great. I'll head over in half an hour.

483
00:32:01,460 --> 00:32:03,220
Are there two slots available?

484
00:32:03,999 --> 00:32:05,539
Got it. Thanks.

485
00:32:05,539 --> 00:32:07,780
Too many games.

486
00:32:07,780 --> 00:32:11,579
Nie, why don't you check with Mr. Lin?

487
00:32:11,579 --> 00:32:13,499
Men usually aren't into spas.

488
00:32:13,499 --> 00:32:15,779
- We can go together.
- Sounds good.

Late-night snacks?

Overtime? Even on this trip?
[Nie Xi Guang]

491
00:32:29,539 --> 00:32:32,940
Ms. Chen told me to ask
if you are using your spa vouchers.

492
00:32:32,940 --> 00:32:35,680
If not, she and I will take them.

Wait a sec.

Don't let the voucher go to waste.

Wang Xin is dying to go.

Mr. Lin says Mr. Wang is dying to go.

Oh, okay then.

500
00:33:09,999 --> 00:33:12,960
Since there's no spa for me,
I might as well go for a stroll.

But I'm stuffed.

502
00:33:14,420 --> 00:33:16,219
I'll just go buy some things.

Wait for me at the entrance.

Well, you told me to keep at it, didn't you?

512
00:33:53,559 --> 00:33:56,719
So it's only natural to pack
a few extra options, right?

513
00:33:56,719 --> 00:33:59,076
It's called playing to my strengths.

514

I need a new phone.

My old one is out of storage.

- Let's go.
- Let's go.

521

This is our latest model.

522
00:34:20,999 --> 00:34:22,900
It comes in these two colors.

523

Your friend is using the exact same model.

524

Is it good?

525
00:34:28,679 --> 00:34:30,860
Yeah. It's really snappy.

526
00:34:30,860 --> 00:34:32,360
You could go with the pink one.

527
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,279
It makes a great set with your friend's.

528
00:34:40,139 --> 00:34:42,780
The color doesn't really matter.

529
00:34:42,780 --> 00:34:45,460
I'll be using all kinds of cases anyway.

530
00:34:45,460 --> 00:34:47,944
So pink is fine.

531
00:34:47,944 --> 00:34:49,145
Sure.

I've been watching.

554
00:36:23,559 --> 00:36:25,220
Since you've got the new app,

555
00:36:25,220 --> 00:36:26,999
of course I have to be the first to request.

556
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:33,779
Do you accept?

557
00:36:37,139 --> 00:36:38,660
I do.

Ms. Chen, I brought you some
double-layer steamed milk custard.

561
00:36:56,460 --> 00:36:57,559
Thanks.

562
00:36:57,559 --> 00:36:59,860
Didn't you go to buy necessities?
How'd you end up hauling food back for me?

563
00:36:59,860 --> 00:37:01,539
Honestly, I wasn't even hungry

564
00:37:01,539 --> 00:37:03,133
until I spotted this place
that's famous for their milk custard.

565
00:37:03,133 --> 00:37:05,140
I gave it a try and honestly,
it's really tasty.

566
00:37:05,140 --> 00:37:06,800
Mr. Lin also said...

567
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,599
He said he was worried
you might be on a diet,

568
00:37:16,599 --> 00:37:19,159
so if you don't want to eat it,
I'll just hand it back to him.

569
00:37:19,159 --> 00:37:20,600
No point letting it go to waste.

570
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,304
He's quite petty, isn't he?
Of course I'm having some.

571
00:37:23,304 --> 00:37:24,400
It's delicious.

572
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,060
The milky flavor really comes through.

Nie, are you and Mr. Lin...

574
00:37:43,740 --> 00:37:46,565
No, we're not. We...

I mean, me and him...

576
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,879
Don't sweat it.
I was just asking out of curiosity.

577
00:37:53,139 --> 00:37:54,459
It's nothing like that.

578
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,359
There are a few things...

579
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,160
I probably shouldn't bring up.

580
00:38:01,099 --> 00:38:04,519
But after what I've been through,

581
00:38:04,519 --> 00:38:06,479
I'd still like to give you a heads-up.

582
00:38:07,999 --> 00:38:10,840
My old company was considerably
larger than Shuangyuan.

583
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,260
You've probably heard of it.

584
00:38:12,260 --> 00:38:14,740
I joined right after graduation
and stayed over a decade,

585
00:38:14,740 --> 00:38:16,760
rising to Deputy Chief of Procurement.

586
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,940
I thought I'd spend my whole career there.

587
00:38:19,940 --> 00:38:22,800
I've always been cautious
and held firm to my principles,

588
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,539
refusing to take dirty money,

589
00:38:24,539 --> 00:38:27,699
and that made me a target
when I got in the way of others' easy money.

590
00:38:27,699 --> 00:38:30,820
Office politics and backstabbing
come with the territory,

591
00:38:30,820 --> 00:38:34,224
but they went out of their way
to resort to the lowest tricks,

592
00:38:34,224 --> 00:38:38,539
painting me as someone
with a tangled love life.

593
00:38:38,539 --> 00:38:43,499
All of a sudden, stories about me
were spreading like wildfire.

594
00:38:43,499 --> 00:38:46,340
They're disgusting.

595
00:38:46,340 --> 00:38:48,240
So what did you do?

596
00:38:48,240 --> 00:38:49,879
What could I do?

597
00:38:50,679 --> 00:38:52,639
They whisper behind my back,

598
00:38:52,639 --> 00:38:54,840
and put on an act in front of me.

599
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,440
You're right.

600
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,140
They're disgusting.

601
00:38:59,479 --> 00:39:01,479
I wanted to call the police,
but there's no evidence.

602
00:39:01,479 --> 00:39:03,159
I tried talking to the boss,

603
00:39:03,159 --> 00:39:06,479
but he just brushed it off,
saying I was overthinking it.

604
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,619
That was the last straw.

605
00:39:11,619 --> 00:39:13,220
I just walked away.

606
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,359
I'm not wasting any more energy
on those scumbags.

607
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,320
Of course, before I left,

608
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,520
I left them a little parting gift.

609
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,279
Well done.

610
00:39:28,460 --> 00:39:31,199
But isn't this just a way of running away?

611
00:39:31,199 --> 00:39:33,839
And didn't they actually win?

612
00:39:34,979 --> 00:39:38,999
It's truly tough for us women
in the workplace.

613
00:39:39,860 --> 00:39:42,599
We work our heads off,
and no matter how well we do,

614
00:39:42,599 --> 00:39:47,540
others can just throw together some rumors
and drag you through the mud.

615
00:39:47,540 --> 00:39:51,360
Nie, I've learned the hard way.

616
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,200
That's why I want to warn you.

617
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,619
Maybe ask Mr. Lin to keep a lower profile?

618
00:39:56,619 --> 00:39:59,999
Otherwise, I'm afraid the backlash
will all be aimed at you.

619
00:39:59,999 --> 00:40:02,300
With the way he's been acting,

620
00:40:02,300 --> 00:40:05,079
even for someone whose romantic radar
is as rusty as mine, it's pretty obvious.

621
00:40:05,079 --> 00:40:08,280
So you can bet the others have noticed too.

622
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:09,800
But don't worry.

623
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,760
My lips are sealed.

624
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,199
Ms. Chen.

625
00:40:17,199 --> 00:40:19,999
Thanks for telling me this.

626
00:40:19,999 --> 00:40:24,220
We've actually thought about it,

627
00:40:24,220 --> 00:40:27,840
but we decided to just
let things take their course.

628
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,220
After all,
there's no rule against workplace dating,

629
00:40:31,220 --> 00:40:34,599
so we decided there's no need to hide it.

630
00:40:34,599 --> 00:40:40,539
Actually, I went through something similar
back in college.

631
00:40:40,539 --> 00:40:44,979
It wasn't as severe as what you faced, but...

632
00:40:44,979 --> 00:40:49,659
that feeling of being wrongly accused

633
00:40:49,659 --> 00:40:52,300
and having no way to explain yourself

634
00:40:52,300 --> 00:40:53,899
is the same.

635
00:40:55,599 --> 00:40:58,960
And even long after,

636
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,479
it still haunts you out of nowhere,

637
00:41:02,159 --> 00:41:05,680
making you feel humiliated...

638
00:41:06,619 --> 00:41:08,180
and wronged.

639
00:41:09,300 --> 00:41:12,419
It's like living under a shadow.

640
00:41:20,179 --> 00:41:22,679
That's why I'll do everything I can

641
00:41:22,679 --> 00:41:25,360
to make sure nothing like this
ever happens to you,

642
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,180
or anyone else in this company, ever again.

643
00:41:29,599 --> 00:41:31,860
Look at you,

644
00:41:31,860 --> 00:41:36,720
talking like you're my boss
and you're here to protect me.

645
00:41:41,139 --> 00:41:42,720
No, that's not it.

646
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,280
It's just back then,

647
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,640
I wished someone would have protected me.

648
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,840
I did have friends
who helped and comforted me.

649
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:54,340
So I just...

650
00:41:54,340 --> 00:41:58,139
I get it. I mean, you might not be my boss,

651
00:41:58,139 --> 00:42:00,540
but listening to you,

652
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:05,740
I somehow feel a sense of security.

653
00:42:05,740 --> 00:42:10,220
Alright. Since you and Mr. Lin
have already thought this through,

654
00:42:10,220 --> 00:42:12,199
I'll keep my mouth shut.

655
00:42:12,199 --> 00:42:14,479
I just hope you don't think I'm being nosy.

656
00:42:14,479 --> 00:42:16,159
Not at all.

657
00:42:16,159 --> 00:42:17,720
I feel quite comforted.

658
00:42:17,720 --> 00:42:20,560
The milk custard was totally worth it.

659
00:42:22,999 --> 00:42:24,960
Alright, it's getting late.
Go take a shower and get some sleep.

660
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:26,127
Okay.

661
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,039
Wait, Ms. Chen.

662
00:42:33,039 --> 00:42:34,500
I think you misunderstood.

663
00:42:34,500 --> 00:42:36,900
Mr. Lin and I aren't in a relationship yet.

664
00:42:36,900 --> 00:42:38,660
"Yet"?

665
00:42:43,420 --> 00:42:44,700
Got it.

666
00:42:47,740 --> 00:42:48,999
Just call me Chen.

667
00:42:48,999 --> 00:42:50,880
Everyone in the department calls me that.

668
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:52,760
Let's not be so formal.

669
00:43:15,194 --> 00:43:19,260
♫ A patch of heavy clouds above ♫

670
00:43:19,260 --> 00:43:23,100
♫ That winding, twisting road we walk ♫

671
00:43:23,100 --> 00:43:27,060
♫ Stopping and going countless times ♫

672
00:43:27,060 --> 00:43:31,130
♫ Love feels less rushed that way ♫

673
00:43:31,130 --> 00:43:35,310
♫ The rain from yesterday
has finally cleared ♫

674
00:43:35,310 --> 00:43:39,240
♫ And today the sunshine
feels so warm and bright ♫

675
00:43:39,240 --> 00:43:42,990
♫ I used to hide away in the corner ♫

676
00:43:42,990 --> 00:43:47,070
♫ But now I long
to follow close behind you ♫

677
00:43:47,070 --> 00:43:51,100
♫ How much longer
must I keep missing out? ♫

678
00:43:51,100 --> 00:43:56,180
♫ When it's only you
who makes my heart race ♫

679
00:43:57,150 --> 00:44:00,880
♫ I've rushed through the endless crowd ♫

680
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:05,040
♫ I'm holding your hand at this moment ♫

681
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,850
♫ Clutching tight, with tender arms ♫

682
00:44:08,850 --> 00:44:13,190
♫ I just want to keep your gentle smile ♫

683
00:44:13,190 --> 00:44:17,040
♫ I've made it past the endless trials ♫

684
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:21,040
♫ I'm gazing into your eyes
at this moment ♫

685
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,930
♫ No turning back
or fear of winter's chill ♫

686
00:44:24,930 --> 00:44:28,160
♫ The sunlight shines like you ♫

687
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:32,640
♫ And like me ♫

688
00:44:45,340 --> 00:44:49,240
♫ Dreams realized, broken and gone ♫

689
00:44:49,240 --> 00:44:52,450
♫ Nothing more than a dream all along ♫

690
00:44:52,450 --> 00:44:57,300
♫ Wake up to the bright lights
on the streets ♫

691
00:44:57,300 --> 00:45:01,250
♫ I'm here by your side ♫

692
00:45:01,250 --> 00:45:05,140
♫ The sky dimmed, deepened and died ♫

693
00:45:05,140 --> 00:45:08,390
♫ Nothing more than some rain inside ♫

694
00:45:08,390 --> 00:45:13,280
♫ Open the window
to boundless blue skies ♫

695
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:18,400
♫ Side by side, just you and I ♫

696
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:24,300
♫ Side by side, just you and I ♫
