Mr. Ji,

why do you think I always

don't have much money left from the salary I just got paid

after paying off my credit card?

Li,

do you always dip into your purse?

Like I have a purse.

After I got my salary,

I paid my rent and utilities,

sent some money to my parents for living expenses

paid off the installment of the computer and cell phone I bought last year

and my daily food and transportation fees,

then there was nothing left.

Tell me about it.

Mortgage, car loan, and children's tuition.

Family living expenses.

Parking fee, property fee, heating fee.

The list goes on.

I can already see

the rest of my life.

I thought life would be better

after I found a job.

But it's not like that.

We work in

a big company that everyone envies. Don't we?

Why are we still like this?

We've been struggling for 30 years.

We still have to struggle through the remaining 30 years.

If only one of the skyscrapers over there

was mine.

You can keep dreaming.

Are the people who own those skyscrapers

[Baima #1]

[Baima #2]

[Baima #3]

happy every day?

Of course.

I don't think so.

I don't feel that way.

Really?

Yes.

Let's go.

It's really nothing.

Tianran, where are you going?

[Episode 23]

[Hard-earned Dinner]

I will win every draw.

May all my wishes come true.

I will win every draw.

May all my wishes come true.

It's a bonus product.

Why is it you again?

I'll buy five more. I don't believe it.

[Card balance ¥35]

It's okay.

There are six days to payday.

Five days without buying anything.

You can do it.

Go Fan Sisi.

[Five days before payday]

[Planning Department 3]

Do you have any other comments

on our proposal this morning?

I don't think so.

[Planning Department 3]

Then it's settled.

Wait a minute.

It's eleven o'clock.

Let me ask you.

What do you want for lunch?

The dumpling we had last time was good.

We can order it again.

No, no.

[Planning Department 3]

They don't have a discount today.

But we do have a coupon for braised chicken.

No, no.

We had braised chicken three times last week.

The projects all failed. It's unlucky.

[Planning Department 3]

It seems that a new risotto restaurant has opened.

It's auspicious to have something spicy.

That's good.

[Planning Department 3]

It's too oily.

It's not good for the skin.

[Planning Department 3]

All right, stop arguing.

The usual rules apply.

Since we don't agree on anything,

we'll just have the spicy hot pot set.

Right.

Okay?

Okay

Okay?

[Planning Department 3]

Ms. Fan,

you'll still have three side meat and vegetables, right?

¥28.50. Pay up.

Okay.

Mr. Ji, I forget

that I'll be on a diet today.

You guys order. Don't worry about me.

You're not eating?

No.

Tianran.

I don't know what's going on

with the people of this research company.

[Planning Department 3]

How can they say that?

I'm so furious.

I'm so furious that my liver hurts.

You guys eat first. I have to process that.

Don't be angry, Tianran.

Come on.

Have a piece of chocolate.

It's good for your mood to have something sweet.

Good.

Sisi, come and eat together.

No.

You're on a diet. You can't eat.

Yes, she's on a diet.

I'm not.

I'm not either.

I'll take one.

This one looks good too.

Give me that bear.

I'm on a diet.

Give me the bear.

Don't move my bear.

I'll take it back to my son.

No way.

My bear.

Where's my bear?

[Planning Department 3]

Sisi, you're so persistent.

You keep your word on being on a diet.

I'll just have coffee.

Why? Why is there only one packet of sugar?

You're on a diet. Have less sugar.

Not even a single packet of sugar left.

Fan Sisi, how can you do this?

[Expired]

It's expired.

Alcohol cotton tablets.

Ketchup.

Why is there even shampoo?

[Date]

[Payday]

Hello?

Mr. Zhang.

I'm Fan Sisi from Gaofa Group.

Yes, it's about the case from last time.

Why don't we

have a dinner date in a couple of days?

You're away on business?

Hello, Director Li.

You're on vacation?

What?

They always say they're free for dinner.

They always ask for it.

But none of them can offer a free meal

when I'm in need.

You should also be very hungry, right?

I have some stock.

There are five days before payday.

I need to plan it well.

If I don't eat at night,

Day 1…

Day 2.

Day 3.

And one of these.

[Four days before payday]

Good for you.

Light fasting diet.

If you succeed,

share the recipe with me.

Ms. Fan.

Ms. Fan.

You're not getting along well with

the research company?

I see that the Tianran gas has been angry for several days.

What's going on?

Ms. Fan.

What's going on?

This stupid research company is so inefficient.

I wanted to ask him to have dinner in a couple of days to talk about it.

He made an appointment for next week.

Next week? It'll be too late.

Don't worry.

I won't eat your food.

It's all vegetable.

Have you seen Jiang Mei?

I think she ordered fried…

Fried chicken.

I'll go to her.

Tianran, you're really not going to lunch?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Until I find the file,

I won't eat a bite.

Where did the file go?

[Three days before payday]

I didn't lose enough weight the first few days.

From today onwards,

I'll do Inedia.

Tianran,

change the water.

Coming.

[Restocking]

[One day before payday]

Sisi,

are you still on a diet?

You still haven't found your file?

Are you hungry?

Me?

No.

It's okay.

Did you run out of money at the end of the month?

How is it possible?

You received a delivery every two days on average.

The number of your deliveries has dropped dramatically in the last week.

Obviously, you are already insolvent.

But tomorrow is payday.

Hang in there.

If I

treat you to an afternoon tea now,

will you be grateful to me?

Hello, Mashuai.

Here is the thing. During the last week you've been away,

we've shared a lot of work for you.

I'd like to remind you.

I get it, Tianran.

Treats, right?

I'll place the order now.

You got it quick.

You're my benefactor.

No need to thank me.

[Planning Department of Gaofa Technology]

Who is Li Tianran?

I am.

Your takeaway.

Thank you.

It's okay.

Coffee.

American style.

[Planning Department of Gaofa Technology]

Tianran,

before I ordered,

I asked Jiang Mei for her opinion.

I heard that recently

you had to fight with the research company.

[Planning Department of Gaofa Technology]

Sisi needs to lose weight.

I thought about it

and felt like black coffee would be perfect.

It's good for the brain and edema.

Thank you for your hard work these days.

I'll bring you gifts when I come back.

The more I drink coffee, the hungrier I'll get.

I'm afraid I can't make it until tomorrow.

If I faint,

carry me back.

[Planning Department of Gaofa Technology]

Have some coffee.

[Planning Department of Gaofa Technology]

It's on Bai.

Thank you, Tianran.

Make a copy of this.

Sisi,

the hot pot restaurant downstairs is having an event.

One among four will get free.

Why don't we try it together after work?

Let's go.

Sisi, you're not going on a diet?

Today is indulgence day, right?

I'll go.

I'll go.

No, no.

Mr. Ji, I don't think you should go.

You're old and have a weak stomach.

You can't have spicy food,

in case you get sick.

Ms. Wu, are you going?

Didn't you say you wanted to eat hot pot that day?

No problem.

Yes, there's one more spot.

It's yours, Jiang Mei.

Okay.

But I have a little work to do.

I might be a little late.

No problem.

Sisi and I will take the seat first.

You guys just come from work.

Okay.

Good for you, Li Tianran.

You knew how stingy Mr. Ji was.

So you prevented him. That was considerate of you.

One man free of charge

with three other women.

[Opening ceremony, one man free of charge with three other women]

I didn't expect this.

I'm embarrassed.

Tianran, Sisi.

You're here.

Li Tianran,

how cunning.

No wonder you didn't let Mr. Ji come along.

No, you can't say that.

I saw the restaurant downstairs was having an event.

So I called you guys here.

I didn't expect this situation.

It's okay.

Tianran always ran errands for us.

He may take some advantage today.

You see, Ms. Wu has already said so.

I can do it too.

Sister Sisi, can you?

Me?

It occurred to me now

that today's horoscope says

I shouldn't have a hot pot.

How about this, Li Tianran?

You go eat with them.

Don't you want to eat?

Eat.

That's fine.

We can change the restaurant, okay?

We'll split the bills.

No one will take advantage.

Okay, then we're all going down.

That's fine.

Let's go check out the others.

Take a look.

There's roast duck over there.

Let's go.

See? We both lose.

Why bother?

Don't blame me.

Blame the fact that my seven old classmates

married at the same time this month.

Who can take it?

They emptied my wallet.

Great rewards for the tenth anniversary.

Great rewards for the tenth anniversary.

Do a small game to win three pounds of oversized roast duck.

Okay.

Let's do a “dine and dash”.

Come with me.

[A lightning bolt] [Perfect body] [Slightly plump] [Chunky]

Go, go, go.

[Blue Summer]

Come on.

I can't. I can't get through.

I can't.

Come and see.

Is it true that if I pass in order,

I'll get a free roast duck?

Yes, ma'am.

Do you want to try it?

Can you do it?

Be confident.

Take out the question mark.

[A lightning bolt] [Perfect body] [Slightly plump] [Chunky]

Easy, easy, easy.

[A lightning bolt] [Perfect body] [Slightly plump] [Chunky]

Easy.

Good for you.

Sisi is awesome.

She can do it with ease.

She sure has lost weight.

Good body.

Do we get a duck rack with roast duck?

You can take a look at our menu.

[A lightning bolt] [Perfect body] [Slightly plump] [Chunky]

Three pounds?

It's so big.

Take a look.

It's a good deal.

Come, come.

I'll help you.

Come on.

I'll do it.

Help... help...

Come on, come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Pull it. Come on. Pull it.

Come on.

Come on, Sisi.

-Li Tianran, be gentle with me. -Three pounds of roast duck.

Li Tianran, be gentle.

Tianran Li, gently.

Almost there.

Almost there.

I shouldn't have had that piece of lettuce

that day at noon.

I was so close to the duck.

Sisi,

I have to make sure

you get full today.

Come with me.

If love is a beautiful flower,

then marriage is the sweet candy.

If love is the drizzle in early spring,

then marriage is the rainbow after the rain.

Everyone present today

has given up your rest time

and come to the wedding site.

Here,

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all of you,

representing the couple.

Thank you all.

When will the food be served?

Don't be in a hurry.

When they exchange their rings,

and then the bride throws the bouquet,

I'll be done.

Throw the bouquet?

You look like you've never seen the world.

Keep your voice down.

What are you afraid of?

It's not like you didn't pay for your share.

I've paid many contributions

in this hall.

But technically,

they didn't take it.

The two couples will soon

be taking their vows.

Are you here for a free meal?

Don't say that.

We're not the only ones to do that.

What?

How do you two know each other?

We're colleagues, aren't we?

We're all colleagues, aren't we?

Every day in the future…

Classmates?

We will accompany each other…

Did you meet on the internet?

And spend our lives together

for richer or poorer…

[EX]

For health…

I see.

It's fate.

Would you

love her every day

and take care of her for the rest of her life?

Would you?

Don't.

We're almost there.

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

They're about to serve.

Let's go.

What are you doing?

Can you trust me for once?

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

We're going to get served.

Just come with me.

I'm experienced in this.

[Payday]

I'll have a soup bun,

a pancake,

a bowl of noodles

and a cupcake

for lunch.

I also need to order a cup of milk tea.

Chill.

Open your mind.

It's a weekend

and it's payday.

Let's go out for something fancy.

[Wu Yimei]

Sorry, guys.

Last week, the group's finance staff was on leave.

So we won't be paid until Monday.

Hold on a little longer.

[Zero days before payday]

[Two days before payday]

[Lucky day to step on eggs]

Defen, do you have to work overtime?

Of course.

There is free wifi,

free heating and air conditioning here.

What a waste not to use it.

Have you had dinner yet?

Why don't we have dinner together?

I... I've already eaten.

When I was out for business,

I ate something on the way.

Okay.

No one will

have dinner with me again.

Why don't you just eat alone?

You even need company for dinner.

I'm afraid of eating alone.

What's so scary about it?

It's just

that when eating alone

in a restaurant,

I always feel lonely.

And the people around you

will look at you with a strange look.

And I can't order many dishes.

It makes me look lonely.

It's said that the highest level of difficulty

in eating alone

is to eat hot pot and buffet alone.

It's not difficult.

I often eat buffet alone.

It's the kind of western-style lawn wedding

that's been popular nowadays.

Western…

Yes, just go and eat.

The bridegroom thinks I'm the bride's family.

The bride thinks I'm the bridegroom's family.

In fact, I'm not from either side.

I don't know anyone.

Then how can you go there if you don't know anyone?

As long as I know the dishes.

Baihe,

Mr. Wei just said

today is Xiaozhi company's

Chief Wang's wedding ceremony.

It's at the Seafood Restaurant.

He asked you to deliver the money for the wedding.

You should go.

Chief Wang.

I'll go.

Yes, I...

Seafood Restaurant?

I'll go.

You don't know Chief Wang.

That's just right.

The point is I know the restaurant well.

Well.

You just give me the money for the share.

I thought you had dinner.

I can have another.

Then I'll give him the money.

Okay.

A few days ago, some women from Department 1

badmouthed Mr. Zheng behind his back.

I was caught in the middle.

Indeed.

What do you mean?

You see this kind of thing.

If I go along with them,

I'll have to join them

in badmouthing Mr. Zheng behind his back.

I don't think it's necessary.

If I don't agree with them,

they must think I'm a traitor.

I can neither affirm nor deny them.

It's so hard.

Yes, so I ran away.

You were wrong.

You can't avoid that

by agreeing, disagreeing

or running away,

but by asking questions.

Asking questions?

I wasn't the only one who saw it.

Zhi Shuang saw it too.

Did you?

Yes.

And Chief Jang.

Chief Zhang saw it too.

No way.

It's true.

Really?

It's true.

Is it?

Yes.

No way.

Like Gaodefen.

Really?

Is it?

No way.
