Original subtitles

That's too much.

Acquiring Alpha will at least help your company be an industry leader.

Your uncle has so many tricks up his sleeve.

It's so cruel.

I know the Alpha case has put you in a difficult position at your firm.

Okay, could we tone down the melodrama?

Okay?

-Let me ask you. Who am I? -You're Zhu Linlu.

That's right. The undefeatable Zhu Linlu.

I always spring back to full bar.

Let me take a picture of you at "full bar."

Let's compare it with how he looked this afternoon.

Give me your phone.

-What for? -Take a photo for us.

-Come on. -Why? I don't want to.

We're not tourists.

-What's wrong with taking a photo? -I don't want to.

-What a nice view. -Ready? Look at me. Three, two, one.

-Okay. Let's take another. -Is it nice?

One, two, three.

-Let's make funny faces, Nuan. -Funny faces? Sure.

-How are the photos? -Happy now?

They're great.

Let me see them.

Nice shot. Let's post them online.

-It's my phone. You... -I've already posted them.

-I'll delete them. -No, don't delete them.

If you post them and then delete them, people will start gossiping.

-I insist. -And besides,

I've been feeling down today.

I'm finally feeling a bit better, so could you at least play along with me?

Drink more water if you're coughing.

-I won't delete them. -Here, let me help you.

Why are you cutting my food? I'll cut your steak then.

-I'll cut it. -Why are you so rough?

-I'm cutting it. -You're so rude.

Should I move to another table?

Sure, go ahead.

Why I can't cut it? Don't touch my fish. Give it back to me.

Go away!

You've eaten your steak. Don't pick at my food.

Zhu Linlu, you're so childish.

You're more capable now.

I was wondering why you didn't come into work today.

You were out having fun.

Weren't you?

Don't act innocent.

Wen Nuan, you're here.

What's wrong? You look so excited this morning.

Take a look, Wen Nuan.

Mr. Zhu is so handsome. I heard he's very romantic.

Where did you go yesterday?

We didn't go anywhere. It was just dinner.

Just dinner? Look at his wide smile.

Expressions don't lie. You have to post more--

-Morning, Mr. Zhan. -Morning, Mr. Zhan.

Let's get back to work.

Wen Nuan, what's wrong with Mr. Zhan?

His smile was so strange. I'm scared to say anything.

You don't want to suffer, right?

Hurry up and get back to work.

Okay.

Let's divide the work as it is now. Finish up your work and...

report to Wen Nuan.

What? Boss, this--

There will be a long period in the future...

which will require everyone to focus on their work.

We might not be able to take any days off.

Is everyone okay with that?

-No problem. -No problem.

How about you?

No problem.

We'll get back to work then.

Let's go.

Miss Wen.

You won't have time off on weekends. Will that be okay?

I know. It's fine.

I also need to remind you about something.

You're no longer some random person on the street.

You're Special Assistant to the CEO of Shallow Cosmos.

So, an online post...

that may seem insignificant to you...

could be used against you.

I may not be like you,

capable of using everyone and everything around me,

but I'm also not a novice who knows nothing about business.

I know how to separate my work from my personal life.

It feels like something has been bothering you...

ever since we got back from the UK.

I am honored to be on the winning team.

Mr. Zhan, do you think I have any reason to be upset?

I'm glad you see it that way.

I don't care who your boyfriend is.

I hope that no matter what role you play,

you keep Shallow Cosmos' best interests in mind.

Didn't I do that during the Alpha case?

In that case, I look forward to your performance.

You can leave now.

Chess piece.

Hello, Shallow Cosmos CEO's office.

Wen Nuan, it's me.

Ms. Chi, how may I help you?

Mr. Zhan just informed us that

due to the Yi Zhong case, every department will be very busy.

Especially you, since you’ll be in charge of organizing everything.

You have to work hard and work overtime during the weekends.

I'm an employee of Shallow Cosmos.

It’s my duty to work hard, even at the weekends.

Shallow Cosmos never mistreats its employees.

We'll be paying you triple your usual salary

for working overtime at the weekend.

It's not a lot,

just a small compensation.

Triple my usual rate? Ms. Chi, thank you.

Don't thank me, thank Mr. Zhan.

He specifically instructed us to do this.

Goodbye.

Wen Nuan, you get triple your salary rate for working weekends?

Yes. Do you envy me?

Why don't you work overtime with me?

I think a triple salary rate is a lot of money,

but I'd still prefer to spend my weekends shopping and dating.

Wen Nuan, you're so pitiful.

If you have to work every weekend,

does it mean I won't see any more lovey-dovey photos of you and Mr. Zhu?

That's funny. I'm not sure who it was that kept saying

how annoying it is to see people posting love photos online.

You asked me to send you more photos, so do you suddenly care about this?

You've changed your tune.

But this is different.

It’s annoying if someone you hate posts it.

But if the person who posted it is someone you like, it's different.

It's like... eating candy.

-Very sweet. -Very sweet.

I guess I'm someone he hates.

Nanxian, can you cut the steak slowly? You're going to ruin it.

Sometimes you get a better result if you slow down.

You can be direct.

Guan Ti and I have always been responsible for the Yi Zhong case.

As the assistant to the CEO, Wen Nuan is busy enough.

If she's in charge of this case,

it'll be twice as much work for her.

Aren't you afraid of scaring her off?

Actually, it's the opposite.

When someone has too much free time, they start daydreaming and acting foolish.

Did you do this after seeing Wen Nuan's post?

Am I right?

Do you think that...

I'm that senseless?

Aren't you?

I only know one thing.

Ever since she came to the 66th floor, she's worked every single weekend.

You've also started coming into the office every weekend.

You were in office the weekend that Wen Nuan went out with Zhu Linlu, right?

-Don't talk when you are eating. -I don't like carrots.

You should eat more.

-Hello, Mr. Gao. -Hello, Mr. Pan.

-Miss Wen Nuan. -Hello, Mr. Pan.

-The other Mr. Pan isn't here? -Do you mean Weining?

He's used to being lazy. We don't have to wait for him.

Mr. Gao, how about you go ahead and take Mr. Pan upstairs?

I'll wait for the other Mr. Pan.

Sounds good. Sorry to bother you.

Mr. Pan, this way.

-Can I borrow the phone? -Sure.

Xiaodai, they're going up.

I'm waiting for the younger Mr. Pan

Okay.

-Thanks. Thank you. -Mr. Pan.

There was a little traffic jam on my way here.

It's fine. Mr. Gao and your brother are waiting for you in the meeting room.

-Okay. Thanks for waiting for me here. -My pleasure.

Actually, ever since the charity gala, I've been envious of Mr. Zhan.

It's hard to find an assistant as good as you.

You flatter me.

-Let's go. -This way, please.

-See you next time. -See you next time.

-Mr. Pan. -See you.

See you.

Miss Yi Xin, I prepared two outfits.

This one's good.

-Is this the latest one? -Yes.

-This one, then. -Sure.

Okay, Miss Yi Xin.

Miss Yi Xin.

-Mr. Pan, what a coincidence. You're here. -Indeed.

I heard you signed up for a new drama and are preparing for it.

I was afraid you were busy, so I didn't want to bother you.

Yes, I'm busy lately.

This new role requires me to be good at golf.

So I'm here to look for a new coach.

Miss Yi Xin, your golf equipment is ready.

-Mr. Feng? -Mr. Pan?

-You two know each other? -Yes, we know each other.

Miss Yi Xin, you should ask Mr. Pan to teach you.

His technique is no less good than ours.

No, it's fine. Mr. Pan is usually very busy.

I'm free today.

I'm here to play golf.

Then I'll leave Miss Yi Xin with you, Mr. Pan.

-No problem. -Okay, I'm leaving now.

Sure.

I didn't know that you were an expert.

So, Miss Yi Xin, why not approach the man that's right here?

I'd like to be your coach.

Bend your knees.

Relax your shoulders.

Eyes.

Come on.

Very good. Take another shot.

-Okay. -Put it here.

Do the same thing.

-Shoulders down, come on. -Sure.

Don't slouch.

Bend your knees.

Wow!

-How's that? -A round of applause for you.

-Are you tired? -A little.

-Let's have some drinks. -Okay.

-Thank you. -No worries.

Yi Xin, you did pretty well for your first time playing golf.

I remember my first time playing golf.

I dug out almost half the turf. You could plant seeds in it.

-Didn't I just do the same? -You did much better than I did.

Well...

I’m too embarrassed to meet with Mr. Zhu lately.

Why?

Because of that document.

Forget it. You wouldn't understand it even if I told you.

A document?

Take good care of it. It's what you wanted.

Are you sure you want to pass the base price to Linlu?

Are you certain?

It's not beneficial to Zhan Nanxian at all.

For Shallow Cosmos, it's only one lost case.

I believe Nanxian is capable.

Shallow Cosmos will not be affected.

But someone will have to leave.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Oh.

You mean that document.

What's wrong with that document? Didn't Dai Zhong win the case?

It did, but it's even worse than losing.

Forget about it.

What's done is done.

Never mind. I trust you anyway.

Why do you trust me?

You're not afraid that, after trusting me and helping me,

you still won't get what you wanted?

Miss Yi Xin, in your opinion,

what do you think I want?

When a man is courting a woman,

he's willing to do anything for her.

What does he want?

Do I really have to explain that?

Then all I have to say is that you don't know me that well.

What I want...

is for you to be truly happy and lead a blissful life.

I'll go change clothes.

Is there really someone who cares about my happiness?

Miss Wen, you're finally here.

These flowers have been here all day. We're signing off.

Who sent the flowers?

I think there's a card.

FLOWERS FOR MISS WEN NUAN FROM: PAN WEINING

Pan Weining?

-Mr. Zhan -Hello, Mr. Zhan

Miss Wen, do you need me to take the flowers to your desk?

No, thanks. Please help me send them back.

Get in.

Hey!

Do I have to say "please"?

The younger Pan brother...

Stay away from him.

Accepting flowers doesn't violate any company regulations, right?

It doesn't.

First, it was Zhu Linlu.

Then it was Pan Weining.

I really underestimated your charisma.

There's a management theory called the "demonstration effect."

Subordinates will follow their supervisor's lead.

When it comes to networking with rivals

or collaborative parties,

Mr. Zhan should do better than me.

What do you mean?

Why don't I get what you're saying?

Great wits have short memories, Mr. Zhan.

Wen Nuan really tries her best.

But she would never suspect that we had planned this.

Oh.

You heard my conversation with Yi Xin?

Does it matter?

So you think Yi Xin and I collaborated to fool you?

You're upset.

I only care about doing my job well.

As for the rest, I cannot and dare not ask.

It's good to hear you're so well informed.

Very good.

Hello?

Nuan.

-I feel terrible. -What happened to you?

Sis, where are you?

What's wrong?

My sister is drunk. I'm going to pick her up.

I'll take you there.

-Sis. -Put me down!

-Let me find that jerk! -Sis, be careful.

Why are you so drunk?

That jerk wants to break up with me.

I'm the one who should break up with him. What right does he have to initiate it?

Sis, everything's going to be okay.

Let me take you home.

Come on.

Give her car keys to me. I'll drive.

Zhu Linlu, you're here too.

I have a few words for you.

Why are you such a coward?

-Just admit that you like my sister. -Sis!

Propose to her after you confess.

-Marry her. You're such a-- -Sis, what are you talking about?

Sis, you got the wrong person.

He's not Zhu Linlu.

I didn't get it wrong. Do you think I'm drunk?

I am not drunk.

You're drunk.

You are all fools!

Sis...

I'm sorry. She's very drunk.

And...

you, Zhu Linlu,

you keep saying you care about my dear Nuan and she's the one--

-Sis, stop talking. -Don't do that. Let me talk.

You keep saying my sister is the one.

But you keep having intimate relationships with other girls and causing scandals.

Sis!

Are you looking for some comfort?

All right.

It's because you know that

-you're not the one in Nuan's heart. -Sis, stop it!

-Coward. -My sister's drunk.

Don't listen to her.

Sis.

It's fine.

"In wine, there is truth."

Sometimes the drunk speak more clearly...

and more frankly.

-Nuan. -Sis.

I just want to have a proper relationship.

Why can't my partners be as invested in our relationships as I am?

What did I do wrong?

What did I do wrong? Why does it always end this way?

Sis...

Linlu? Why are you here? Give me a hand.

-What happened? -My sister's drunk.

Why is she drunk?

She's in a bad mood. Help me take her into the house.

Come on, we're home. I'll help you out of the car. Sis?

I'm sorry.

Nuan shouldn't have bothered you with such a trivial matter.

Don't be so polite.

As her official boyfriend, you should have done this.

I shouldn't have to fill in for you.

Now I finally know why Mr. Zhu can be such a playboy outside.

What do you mean?

It turns out Mr. Zhu still has a long way to get this beauty back.

This anxious feeling while you wait

must be uncomfortable.

Nuan...

Stop talking and help my sister.

It's late. Why don't you go back? I'll take care of this.

-Be careful. -Here, let me do it.

Easy...

Easy...

About that--

What's the matter?

Thank you...

-for everything you did today. -No need to thank me.

I learned a lot of interesting things tonight.

It would have been a shame if I hadn't come tonight.

Get some rest.

Easy, easy, easy...

-Go back and get some rest. -Can you manage alone?

It's fine, I can do it. Go home.

Sis!

Sis.

Zhu Linlu, you keep saying you care about my dear Nuan and she's the one--

Sis, stop talking.

Don't do that. Let me talk!

You keep saying my sister is the one.

But you keep having intimate relationships with other girls and causing scandals.

It's because you know that you're not the one in Nuan's heart.

-Am I right? -Sis, stop that.

Nanxian, are you at work?

No, what's wrong?

At midday tomorrow,

I have an event near Shallow Cosmos.

Let's have lunch together.

Sure.

Let's meet at our old place.

Okay.

I will not admit defeat that easily.

Hello?

Mr. Pan.

I'm sorry.

I have to bother you again.

DOMESTIC SERVICE

Hello, I need a domestic helper. Someone a bit more professional.

Okay. Please be quick.

Thanks.

Nuan.

You're awake.

Could you give me some water?

-Are you all right? -I feel like hell.

Who's he?

Morning.

Zhu Linlu, why are you here?

You have the audacity to ask me that?

Yesterday, you were so drunk, you lost consciousness.

You kept throwing up and yelling. How could I leave Nuan alone with you?

Nuan, last night....

did I say anything I shouldn't have?

You were quite clear about it.

You said everything you were supposed to and not supposed to say.

Oh, my God...

Hello, I'm the domestic helper you asked for.

-Please, come in. -Okay.

I'm sorry, Auntie.

-It might stink a little. So... -It's all right.

This way.

-You're just in time. -Hello.

The smell here is truly...

-This way, please. -Okay.

Is this because of what I did last night?

Did you think it was because of me?

-Sorry to bother you. -It's all right.

Breakfast will be ready soon.

Wow, breakfast. I'm hungry.

-It's because of you. -Uh...

What's for breakfast?

It looks delicious.

Smells good.

Let me do it.

Nuan, I really drank too much last night. I can't remember anything.

What happened? Tell me.

You don't even remember how you got back, do you?

Zhu Linlu's here. He must have brought me back home.

Zhan Nanxian brought you back.

Zhan Nanxian?

I really embarrassed myself then.

You remember that bit.

So...

-You met Zhan Nanxian last night? -What do you think?

Did anything happen? Did you two cross swords?

Sis, what are you talking about?

Hurry up and eat. I don't want to be late.

No.

Now I finally know why Mr. Zhu can be such a playboy outside.

What do you mean?

It turns out Mr. Zhu still has a long way to get this beauty back.

What are you doing? I'm eating that.

It's fun to steal people's food.

-Don't be so disgusting, okay? -Don't--

It's disgusting. What are you doing?

-Zhu Linlu, give it back. Don't... -Have a bite.

-You're so childish! -You two...

Do you think it's okay to flirt in front of me?

I just broke up with someone.

Do you really want to taunt a heartbroken woman like me?

-Yes. -Not at all.

UNKNOWN NUMBER

Hello?

Hello, Wen Nuan, it's Pan Weining.

Mr. Pan?

Can I help you?

You keep sending back the flowers I send you.

Is there some misunderstanding between us?

Why don't we clear things up, face to face?

I'm sorry but I'm really busy today. It may be difficult.

That's fine. I'm visiting Shallow Cosmos.

Could we have a lunch together near there?

I know Mr. Zhan has high expectations of his staff,

but I'm sure he lets them eat, right?

If that's not possible, I'll request time off to see you.

It's okay.

-I'll meet you for lunch. -Great.

Wen Nuan.

Are you really having lunch with Mr. Pan?

He sent you so many flowers. He must be courting you.

Don't spout nonsense.

He's already coming here, so I have to go and make myself clear.

Or else the misunderstanding will get deeper.

Enough gossip. Get back to work.

All the flowers that were sent to you were sent back.

Don't you like them?

Isn't that Wen Nuan?

Why is she with Mr. Pan?

-This way, please. -Thank you.

Hello, here is the menu.

Your boss is here. Do you need to say hello?

No need to bother them.
