What's wrong, Secretary Cui?

Do you have something on your mind?

Defen,

help me analyze something.

Here is the thing.

Mr. Zheng

has always been very harsh on me, right?

The other day,

he asked me to have dinner

and play billiards together.

And he even asked me to call him brother.

That's good.

Yes.

I just ran into him.

I called him

Brother Zheng.

But he reprimanded me,

saying I didn't respect him as the leader.

Why would that happen?

Did you call him Brother Zheng in the company?

Secretary Cui, you...

You look smart.

You just look smart.

I can tell you're smart.

Why not?

I mean,

always keep a distance from the leader

in the workplace.

The leader is always the leader.

You can't think he's your brother

just because of what you said at the tables

or what you played together.

The fact that he called you brother doesn't really mean you are.

Always keep your distance from the leader.

You're my leader, right?

We keep a distance from each other.

It's the kind of relationship that seems to be aloof.

It's to protect yourself.

You are so right.

It's very important to keep a distance

in workplace.

This is the report you made?

Good.

[I must have cake with my friends on my birthday this year]

Tianran.

Come on.

What?

What is it?

What are you doing?

Tianran,

did I do something wrong

during the few months I've been working?

No.

Everything is fine.

But I always feel

they seem to have a problem with me.

They don't like to

take me with them.

There's this thing?

Last week…

Mashuai,

the Blue Star Erk national-style series

have launched new versions.

Do you want to share the bill?

Yes.

How about this, Director Yao?

Let's go to see the real thing

and feel it this weekend.

How is it?

I'm not going.

Are we still sharing the bill?

Of course.

Are we still going?

Absolutely not.

That's normal.

It's okay to shop online together,

but not go shopping together.

Because you violated

workplace ban #3.

No inviting colleagues after work hours.

[Workplace Ban #3]

Why not?

Think about it.

You need to get dressed up,

take a shower and get changed

when going out for the weekend.

It takes up time for rest.

And it's most likely to catch traffic jams

and have to endure the congestion

when going out on the weekend.

Are you willing to pay so much

to go all the way to see a colleague

who you see every day?

Colleagues don't deserve it.

Well, colleagues don't deserve it.

There was this thing three days ago.

Mashuai,

have you seen the movie that was recently released?

The brain-mangling one. Is it good?

I saw it. It was good.

Really?

Then I'll go see it tonight.

Great, Mr. Ji.

I'll give you a call

after you finished watching it today.

I tried to discuss the plot with someone.

But I was afraid I'd give spoilers to those who haven't seen it.

No way.

So will you watch it?

Of course.

Then can we discuss it?

Absolutely not.

Seriously?

Um...

I understand.

It's okay to talk at work.

It's never okay to talk after work.

Because you've violated

the second rule of the workplace ban.

Under no circumstances,

[Workplace ban #2]

notice, in all cases,

notice, under no circumstances

can you make phone calls to colleagues after work,

including video calls, voice calls

and three or more

60-second-long voice.

So, if I have to make a phone call

about something urgent…

It should be even more prohibited.

Talking about work after work?

It's annoying to everyone.

No wonder Director Yao

set up a special work chatgroup.

And yesterday…

[Planning Department3]

Ms. Fan,

I was the first one to like your WeChat moment

where you were to collect likes.

Thank you.

Why don't you tell me your Weibo ID?

I can forward it and gain popularity for you.

Absolutely not.

[Planning Department 3]

You made a big mistake.

It's one of the most serious workplace bans.

Absolutely no. 1.

Once violated,

your colleague relationship

ends with it.

To first like

Ms. Fan's WeChat moment?

You can like your colleague's WeChat moment.

[Workplace ban. Absolutely No. 1]

But you can't follow

their private social media accounts.

I get it.

Dear colleagues,

the day after tomorrow, that is, Thursday,

is my birthday.

I've booked a private room in the restaurant downstairs.

I'd like to invite you all

to attend.

[Mr. Yu's Room]

I see that Director Yao and Mr. Yu

are busy with official business.

So I won't trouble them.

Let's all have fun the day after tomorrow.

[Mr. Yu's Room]

See?

No leader on a working day.

I'll pay for the dinner at the restaurant downstairs.

Everything is

just right.

Tianran,

I still don't understand.

I thought you said it was a workplace ban

to invite colleagues after work.

Then why are you inviting colleagues to your birthday?

Of course it's different.

I said no invitations on weekends,

not after work.

It's perfect to

invite some of my collogues

for a few drinks

after work.

Ask Ms. Fan if you don't believe me.

A meal without the leaders

is tolerable.

It's the second comfort only to sharing bills.

Not on weekends.

But I can do it after work.

Not with leaders.

But I can do it if there are colleagues only.

No drinking. But a few drinks are okay.

It seems that workplace socialization

is indeed delicate.

It's very delicate. You need to grasp it.

I remember the birthday

in my first year of employment.

It was a weekend.

So as not to violate

the second ban,

I spent my birthday

alone.

Now that I think about it, I haven't had a good birthday

since I've been working.

Why?

You said your first birthday

was on a weekend.

What about the second year?

The next year…

[The happiest boy in the world]

[Happy Birthday]

[Li Tianran's 24th birthday]

Hello, Director Yao.

Are you guys almost there?

I submitted the project

before the end of the day.

I don't think so.

Then tomorrow…

Okay, okay.

Okay, then I'll...

Then I'll go back to the office now.

Hello.

Can I return

the unopened wine?

What about the third year?

The third year…

[Li Tianran's 25th birthday]

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Excuse me.

Mr. Luo, Mr. Luo.

This is the contract just prepared by the legal department this afternoon.

Do you want to take a look?

Can't you see it's my birthday?

We'll talk about it tomorrow.

Okay.

I'm coming.

Thank you.

Happy Birthday.

What about the fourth year?

The fourth year…

Tianran.

[Li Tianran's 26th birthday]

What's wrong, Director Yao?

The foreign suppliers are suffering from the time difference.

We'll hold a video conference for them at night.

Is that okay for you?

Okay!

Very good.

[Li Tianran's 27th birthday]

[Li Tianran's 28th birthday]

[Li Tianran's 29th birthday]

[Li Tianran's 30th birthday]

[Li Tianran's 31st birthday]

Don't worry.

We'll celebrate your birthday right

the day after tomorrow

and clear your loneliness all these years.

Okay?

Thank you.

From today night to tomorrow day,

Typhoon Cake will pass through the city.

There will be heavy thunder and lightning storms

accompanied by high winds.

Please stay safe.

It's recommended

to stagger commute to work

and work from home.

[Today's Weather Forecast]

You've seen the weather forecast, right?

[Planning Department 3]

HR just informed

us to work from home tomorrow.

What's wrong, Tianran?

Don't hold it, just laugh if you want to.

Wait.

It looks like a good day now.

Man's plan is not as good as God's plan.

Even the typhoon is laughing at me.

Tianran.

If we work from home tomorrow,

is it a working day or a day off?

Bai.

You will come, right?

You just taught me yesterday

that it's a career killer.

to violate the social ban.

I... I...

May I?

Asking out colleagues after hours is prohibited.

Under no circumstances

can you make phone calls to colleagues after work.

Absolutely No.1.

Once violated,

your colleague's relationship ends with it.

If we don't work

today,

it's a holiday.

The social ban says

holiday parties are worse than

weekend parties.

Now that I think about it, I haven't had a good birthday

since I've been working.

Tianran,

it seems

that you're destined to be alone.

Hello, I've booked a private room.

My name is Li. Today is my birthday.

Sir, are your friends still coming?

Wait a little longer.

They should be here soon.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I'm sorry.

Happy birthday, Tianran.

Didn't you say you weren't coming today?

Although I'm busy today,

your birthday is more important.

I made this cake for you.

Try it.

[Happy Birthday]

How can you be distracted on your birthday?

Open your present.

I picked it randomly.

If you don't like it, forget it.

What...

Tianran.

Go away.

Go away?

What are you doing all by yourself?

It's dangerous to leave the door open.

What am I doing?

What are you doing?

The last minute you were in my washroom,

the next you were in my kitchen.

And now you're coming from behind.

All right. Just go away.

Just let me have my birthday.

It's not over, is it?

Wait a minute.

Are you real?

Happy birthday, Tianran.

Happy birthday.

Is it real?

Why did you slap me?

It's loud.

It's real?

Of course it's real.

Tianran, have you lost your mind out of ecstasy?

No, no.

Wait.

Let me run it through.

It's real?

What?

Bai, did you forget what I taught you?

Breaking workplace rules has serious consequences.

Do you not want to work anymore?

Tianran.

I've been thinking about it for a long time.

You are the first person I met in Gaofa.

You take care of me so much.

You have taught me a lot.

I want to be your friend.

The 10th workplace ban,

it's strictly forbidden to become friends with colleagues.

Are you trying to

kill your career?

Would you?

Tianran.

Bai.

You came in soaking wet.

I knew

you must have run here without a taxi.

You were being impulsive.

That's not what a good boy does.

When will you grow up?

I'm so happy, Tianran.

You just said, “I do”.

We are good friends.

Sisi,

I'm so happy.

It's the first time

I've had such a happy birthday.

Thank you

for arranging all this for me

and putting in so much effort.

Thank you.

I... I didn't do it specifically for you.

I'm preparing for

the video with a client next month.

I'm just testing

the stability of the software with you.

Don't be too impressed.

Right?

Come on. Cheers.

Drink some more.

What did you wish for?

It took so long.

It won't work if I say it.

I can't say it.

Dear friends,

this is a good and innovative method.

It can break the confinement.

From now on,

let's have dinner like this

every weekend.

We can all get drunk, okay?

Get him drunk. Come on.

Mr. Yu.

Mr. Yu.

Cheers.

Here's to you. Good health and good fortune.

Here's to you. Cheers.

To you.

Stay young forever.

Drink up. Drink up.

I think yesterday's plan was a complete success.

Today, Qimiao

didn't mention the remote dinner at all.

Thanks to Ms. Wu

for suggesting getting Mr. Yu drunk.

That was witty.

Applause.

What's wrong, Bai?

You're not happy?

No.

I have a birthday coming up too.

But I checked the date.

It's a weekend.

It seems I can't

have you around on my birthday.

What's the hurry?

You're only in your first year of employment.

Look at me.

It took me a lot of years

to enjoy yesterday's high point.

It's okay. Take your time.

All right.

Then I'll ask my uncle

to cancel the cruise he booked.

After all, we can't break the social ban.

Wait a minute.

What cruise?

I booked a cruise.

I was going to invite you there.

But then I thought

you must have other things to do on the weekend,

I had to cancel it.

No, no.

I think

it's Mashuai's first birthday

in his first year of employment.

It's memorable.

Yes.

I'm willing to give up my beautiful vacation

to spend your birthday with you.

I hate to stay home on weekends.

White's a newbie.

All the more reason to have a good birthday.

I'm in.

And me.

I'm in for the cruise trip.

As your leader,

I'll bring a generous gift there.

Signing up.

Thank you, guys.

Remember to bring sunscreen.

No, I don't down.

I…

It's huge.

We have to fish.

What fish? Just cook it on the same day.

Tianran,

social ban sometimes doesn't work.

It depends.

What does a cruise ship look like? Let me see.

Are you going?

Yes.

I've never fished on one.

You can fish there?

Yes.

Yes.

[Lucky day to stamp on eggs]

Bai.

We're having dinner with our client, Director Wang tonight.

Find a good restaurant.

Book a private room.

[Fresh beef hot pot]

Mr. Ji, here.

[By order of Fortune]

[Please come in, sir]

Wait.

Come here.

Mashuai,

how can you find a hot pot restaurant?

What's wrong with hot pot?

It has a good reputation.

We can't pack it.

Pack it?

[By order of Fortune]

Mashuai,

it's a joy

for white-collar workers like us

when going out for a feast.

If we can take something back

to home,

isn't that a double whammy?

Honey.

Baby.

Daddy's home.

You're back.

Did you miss Daddy?

Yes, I did.

Good boy.

Look

what Daddy get you?

I see.

If you're looking for a restaurant, look for one that packs.

Don't you think it's noisy here?

What?

Don't you think it's noisy here?

Mr. Wang, you're right.

The taste is very good.

Very good.

Let's drink to Mr. Wang

To Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang.

Come on.

To you.

Cheers.

[Grilled lamb chops, private dining]

Watch out.

Careful.

It's okay.

Let me take you back.

Ji, I'll take him home.

Okay.

I'll leave it to you.

Okay.

Go, this way.

Our car is this way.

[Lamb Spine Hot Pot. Earth Pot Chicken]

Mashuai.

Careful, careful.

[Lamb Spine Hot Pot. Earth Pot Chicken]

No, no.

Stand up.

Why is there one dish missing?

[Tumen BBQ]

Don't force yourself if you can't drink.

Mr. Ji,

all the dishes in this restaurant can be packed.

How is it?

Are you still thinking about packing?

Fine, I'll take you back.

Hello, please pack it up.

[Tumen BBQ]

Pack up all the leftovers.

[Gaofa Technology]

What's wrong, Mr. Ji?

The stomachache is unbearable.

Stomachache?

Director Yao forced me to drink again.

Didn't I teach you?

Just say you had to drive.

I did.

He told me to call a chauffeur.

Use the second trick.

I told you before.

Just say you took cephalosporin.

I said that too.

And he still let you drink?

I didn't get the stomachache from drinking.

It's from taking cephalosporin in front of him.

I should have known better than to drink it.

Are you dumb?

I didn't mean

to really take cephalosporin.

How much did you take?

One pill is fine.

One tablet.

Let's go to the hospital.

It's okay.

I've had my stomach pumped.

It's okay.

I've had my stomach pumped.

I'm just a little weak right now.

It's better to drink.

Come on, it's a good day today.

Let's have a drink together.

Mr. Zheng,

I took cephalosporin today.

I can't drink with you.

Then why are you here?

But you can't drink after taking cephalosporin.

Defen,

you didn't take pills too, did you?

I…

I also took pills today.

So…

You didn't all take pills today, did you?

So cheers.

I took de-alcoholic drugs.

I'll just drink it from the pot.

Good.

Make yourself comfortable. I'll drink up.

It's a little intense.
