Nanxian.

Are you at the office?

I brought some presents for you from the USA.

I haven't had the chance to give them to you.

I'm free today, so I thought I'd bring them over to you.

I've got a meeting later, so why don't you wait in my office?

I'll meet you there when I'm done.

Okay, we'll do that.

Okay.

What a coincidence.

Long time no see.

I overheard you calling Mr. Zhan and I can sense the happiness.

So tell me,

how have you two maintained such a strong relationship for seven years?

It's a secret.

Then I can only learn by stealing.

You know, you and Mr. Zhan, my mate Linlu and his girlfriend...

Seeing all of you makes me so jealous.

Zhu Linlu and Wen Nuan?

My mate might look like he's joking and laughing all the time.

But he's really good to Wen Nuan.

There's only one thing I don't understand.

Why would the director of Dai Zhong

send his girlfriend to be an assistant in his competitor's company?

I couldn't do something like that.

I will treat her like a queen every single day.

Yes, Wen Nuan's current situation is quite delicate.

Miss Yi Xin.

Is Nanxian still in the meeting?

Yes, he is.

I'll wait for him in his office, make me a coffee, will you?

Okay, one moment.

We've reached an important juncture in the bidding process.

I hope everyone will keep up the good work.

Okay. Dismissed.

Nanxian, I'd like to speak to you about the bid.

-Walk with me. -Okay.

-Wen Nuan, the meeting's finished? -Yes.

We have a guest?

A super star.

Yi Xin?

Leave it with me.

Okay. Thanks.

2. ASSESS THE VALUE OF THE ACQUIRED COMPANY

SHALLOW COSMOS

Why are you here?

Bringing me coffee?

We are good friends, no need for formalities.

The desk is cluttered with files, please come and sit over here.

The couch is more comfortable.

Nanxian's office is no different from my home. I can sit anywhere I like.

You're not suspicious of me, are you?

Does this mean

that you don't know the nature of my relationship with Nanxian?

All the files in Mr. Zhan's office

contain information confidential to Shallow Cosmos.

As Mr. Zhan's girlfriend, I believe you must know this better than anyone.

You should be more cautious.

Okay, relax.

-Hold tight. -Look forward.

-I... -Look front.

I can't go straight.

You can, trust me.

Okay, good.

Nanxian, don't let go.

I won't.

-Hold on tight. -Okay.

Slowly, don't let go.

You scared me, I told you not to let go. You did it again.

-Are you okay? -It hurts.

Where?

Tricked you, let's go.

I'll soon get the hang of it, don't let go.

Okay, I won't.

Come on.

Slowly.

It's okay.

Slowly.

Yi Xin.

Yi Xin, are you okay?

You are bleeding.

Nanxian, take her to the medical room now.

-Okay. -I'm fine.

No need to trouble him, I can stand by myself.

Save it, you are bleeding.

Nanxian, hurry up.

Hurry.

Carry her.

Slowly.

Wen Nuan.

As a good friend,

I hope you won't drown in the past.

What's past is past.

Thank you for reminding me. I'm fighting hard to start over again.

Nanxian's back.

What are you talking about?

We didn't talk much and you're back.

I was just leaving.

Right, Ms. Wen, remember to give me the meeting minutes later.

Sure.

I brought you some presents from the US. Come and have a look.

Let me see what you got for me.

It's been a long time, you should have come out of your shell already.

What did Du Xintong do? She's been assigned to New Staff Training.

I heard it's because of the new assistant on the 66th floor.

She's got really bad luck.

Her special assistant position's been stolen.

She's practically unemployed now.

I told you Ms. Xintong should be the new assistant. Look what happened.

Here.

Thanks.

Miss Yi Xin.

I'd like to tell you something you might be interested in.

I want to tell you about Mr. Zhan and the new assistant, Wen Nuan.

Nanxian and I don't have any secrets. Why should I trust what you have to say?

You are my only hope to get everything back.

What is it?

I've been assigned to New Staff Training

because Mr. Zhan wants to give Wen Nuan a leg up in the business.

And at the last dinner party, the evening dress Wen Nuan wore...

that's not standard for company staff.

Mr. Zhan arranged specially for the expensive dress and the jewelry.

I knew all this when I saw it myself.

But what are you trying to say?

This Wen Nuan, I don't know how she managed to get onto the 66th floor.

You are Mr. Zhan's girlfriend, right?

You might want to step in before this gets out of control.

You told me all of this just so I would help you.

But I've always believed God helps those who help themselves.

Why should I help you?

I might have been assigned to New Staff Training, but I'm not completely useless.

This is starting to get interesting.

As long as you help me get Wen Nuan fired from Shallow Cosmos.

Leng Rufeng raised the bidding price. Therefore...

the most accurate estimate of Shallow Cosmos' bidding price

should be around 300 million pounds cash.

Plus 200 million worth of company shares.

According to our estimate, the bidding price for Alpha

is between 380 to 420 million pounds.

However at the moment, our cash flow is obviously insufficient.

According to this bidding price, we have a huge gap in our funding.

This is tough.

I'll try to solve the funding issue.

You guys prepare for the bidding in England.

Okay.

-Nuan. -Yes?

I got some meds for you.

For a cold, band-aids, for the stomach.

For a sore throat, all for everyday use.

-Take them with you. -Seriously, Sis?

I spent seven years in England by myself.

Still, I'm worried. Take it all with you.

Choose one for me.

My sister looks good in both.

Needn't ask at all.

Anything you'd like me to bring back for you?

Because of situation between Shallow Cosmos and Dai Zhong

you're going to be so busy on this trip. You won't have time to shop.

Speaking of which, you're the one doing all the overtime these days anyway.

You know what my job is like.

You have to be prepared to answer client calls 24/7.

Sis, you don't have to work so hard. I'm making money now.

I should be the one telling you this.

Nuan, are you okay about this trip to England?

I'm fine. What could go wrong?

Look, I have all the meds you gave me, so don't worry, okay?

As if I want to worry about you. Take your time.

Sis, which one?

The light one.

I like the dark one.

Take this. This is what you are after.

Are you sure you want to give the bidding price to Linlu?

Have you thought this through?

This will benefit no one and will harm Zhan Nanxian.

For Shallow Cosmos, it's merely one lost deal.

I believe in Nanxian's abilities. Shallow Cosmos won't be affected.

But someone has to leave.

I find that your attitude in some matters

is almost identical to Linlu's.

You think?

-Cheers. -Cheers.

In fact, no matter who acquires Alpha, I believe it will be a huge success.

Just now, we heard a brief introduction to both Shallow Cosmos and Dai Zhong.

I'm even more confident now about Alpha's future.

WEN ROU

Done.

Take a break, and we will start the official bidding here in one hour.

Please be punctual.

Yes.

Right.

-Hey. -What?

Walk with me.

-Zhu Linlu, don't do this. -Let's go.

Zhu Linlu, what are you doing?

We're having lunch after the meeting.

Stop fooling around, it's been an hour already. Come back now.

Work is important, but you've also got to eat.

I'm hanging up, Zhu Linlu, come back now, don't be late.

Mr. Zhu.

With quotes like these,

aren't you afraid of losing money?

I don't make business transactions that will lose me money.

Alpha's intangible assets will bring enormous practical benefit in the future.

I trust my judgment.

Mr. Zhan.

The acquisition of Alpha is a long-term investment.

Are you sure you can sustain it with such low funding until it becomes profitable?

Mr. Leng, in front of you is our company's auditing plan for the previous year.

I believe that when you've read it, you will have more faith in our company.

Great.

My...

final decision is...

Mr. Zhan.

We'll work together next time.

That's a deal.

Don't worry, old men like me depend on young talent like you.

Mr. Zhu.

Congratulations, Alpha is yours.

We shall work together in the future.

Certainly. I respect your courage.

Okay, everyone. Come for high tea tomorrow afternoon at my place.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

And...

It's thanks to your sister Wen Rou that we won the bid.

Thank her for me, will you?

See you.

Wen Nuan, what does your sister have to do with the bid?

I have no idea.

Really.

It’s nothing personal.

You know how much effort Nanxian put into the Alpha bid.

Now we've lost, so of course he's upset.

I get pissed just looking at Mr. Zhu's face.

How disappointed he must be, after working so hard for so long.

How sad he must be.

NUAN

Nuan.

Sis.

I hope it's not too late.

I'm not in bed yet, what's up?

Sis, you and Zhu Linlu are great. You didn't say a word to me.

It's not a big deal, Linlu just asked me to help with his funding problems.

I said yes.

Did Zhan Nanxian give you any trouble because of it?

No.

Nuan, I didn't tell you before because Linlu told me it was just business stuff.

I thought you two are competitors, I'm not in a good position to tell you this. So...

If I'd known, I would...

It's not your fault, you were being professional.

Plus if he's really mad, he can just get me fired, no big deal.

Getting fired would be good. I don't want you to be an assistant.

Sis, could you stop gloating?

We really put in a lot of effort into the Alpha bid, and now...

it's kind of hard for us to accept this.

Us?

You mean you and Zhan Nanxian?

Okay, go sleep now, I'll stop bugging you.

Nuan.

Us.

Morning.

We've been working so hard, we've hardly had a break on our schedule.

Would you like to walk around with me?

It's rare to get such good weather in London.

Although you've got an office in London

you don't get much of a chance to walk around.

Don't waste the weather.

This is Tower Bridge.

When boats drive by...

I know, the bridge lifts.

I've been here in London by myself.

Any other points of interest?

We've got a lot.

Where?

Over there, let's go.

You don't have to be so kind to me.

I'm not being kind.

I was talking about your sister.

You don't have to be sorry.

We all worked very hard on the Alpha case.

With such an outcome...

I'm quite depressed. I wanted to walk around, so I asked for your company.

But I don't want to be your company.

Let's go somewhere else.

Cheers.

Excuse me.

Hello Dad.

Linlu.

How did it go?

Listen for yourself.

Come on.

-We won. -Yeah, cheers.

You little rascal, scaring me like that.

Don't you worry, with Dai Zhong acquiring Alpha

we'll do better and better in the future. Your son won't let you down.

Okay.

Come with me.

This is the Eagle.

Back in the day, the professors who discovered DNA announced it here.

As they say, this is the beginning of life.

-What's this? -This is the Time Eater Clock.

The three rings represent the minute hand, the hour hand, and the second hand.

You see the clock is wrong now.

But every five minutes it will synchronize.

Whenever I was upset, I'd come here and look at it.

I think...

life is unpredictable.

We should cherish the present.

Do you know what this is?

This is the apple tree where Newton discovered gravity.

Really?

-Of course not. -We can go and see it.

"If I should meet thee

After long years,

How should I greet thee?--

With silence

and tears."

Do you know this poem by Lord Byron?

Did you know that

I was the most devoted poem-reciter in my class?

At the time they always joked

that I couldn't forget...

Couldn't forget what?

Anything. At lectures, the professors always asked me to recite.

Yeah? What did you recite? Do it for me.

Show me your devotion.

"'T is nothing that I lov'd so well.

Yet did I love thee to the last As fervently as thou.

Who didst not change through all the past. And canst not alter now."

"The better days of life were ours;

The worst can be but mine."

"And show that love, however vain,

Nor thou nor I can feel again."

"The loveliest things that still remain." "Through dark and dread eternity

Returns again to me.

And more thy buried love endears.

Than aught except its living years."

It's so beautiful here.

I don't see anything interesting.

Slow down. I don't know how to swim.

-Stop shaking. -I know how to swim.

What do you want? I'm getting mad.

I'm really afraid.

I want you to say something nice.

Okay. Zhan Nanxian is the most handsome boy in the world.

No, in the universe. Stop shaking.

Give me a kiss.

Come over.

Here.

Be careful.

You told me you know how to swim.

Come with me.

Let's eat here.

We still have a bit of time until the high tea at Leng's.

You came early just to have lunch?

What is good in England besides fish and chips?

There's a lot. Like potatoes.

Potatoes?

There is a special dish in this restaurant.

Jacket potato, want to try it?

Let's give it a try.

-Do you want pasta as well? -Yep.

Are you going to the private party with me wearing that?

What's wrong with it?

Am I underdressed?

I think you could wear something better.

I'm going there for work.

This looks professional.

It's different.

Because you are going there with me.

Do you know why it's called jacket potato?

Because it's got crispy skin.

When it cracks, it looks like it's wearing a jacket.

Unlike you.

You can have different fillings in them.

Like cheese, beans, beef and lamb.

Taste good?

Who said there's only fish and chips in England?

There is you in England.

This is the one.

Actually, I think an assistant should dress like an assistant.

The suit I was wearing before was fine.

But you're my assistant.

You're going out with me, so you should dress properly.

Okay.
