The flowers I sent you were returned.

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.

You’re right.

He’s here with his girlfriend.

It’s not a good time for us to go over, right?

What do you want to eat?

I think this is not bad.

Mr. Pan,

er...

We've only met a few times.

Please do not send me any more flowers.

I am afraid it will cause a misunderstanding.

Wen Nuan,

you are a great girl. I admire you from the bottom of my heart.

Since you don't feel the same way,

I won't bother you anymore.

Now let's eat.

We two have something in common.

It's Zhu Linlu.

-Linlu? -Yes.

-That's a coincidence, right? -We played together as boys.

He put me through the ringer back then.

I know what you mean.

He's a little bit crazy sometimes.

Indeed.

Look at what he did to his house!

Mr. Pan is investing in our next production.

He seems like a nice guy.

Pan Wei'an is in charge of Yi Zhong.

Mr. Pan is only a director by name.

If someone else had that job,

the situation would be chaotic.

But he is able to maintain a good relationship with the other directors.

So he is really something.

I heard that he and Zhu Linlu are close.

Looks like they have a relationship.

No wonder Wen Nuan is getting along well with him.

What are you getting?

-I'll order now. Waiter! -Right.

He is so playful, you know him.

Indeed, he is.

He can never sit still.

This dessert here is pretty good.

You didn’t eat much.

Aren’t you hungry? Take a bite.

I am fine. You can have it.

Mr. Zhan, can I come in please?

Come in.

It's delicious.

What’s the matter?

This is the Yi Zhong collaboration proposal. Please take a look.

Wen Nuan, you are helping Nanxian to deal with

so many complicated documents and reports every day.

It must be so stressful.

Just doing my job.

Yi Xin,

the food at this restaurant is excellent.

Mmm,

let’s find a time to go to the restaurant with Wen Nuan?

The three of us.

Okay, let’s do that.

There’s no problem here. You can send it.

Then I’ll get to it.

-Hello. -Hello.

-Can I have whisky? -Okay.

I bring trouble to you again today.

Thank you!

You are welcome.

Helping you gives me some purpose, so I'm happy to help.

You know you don’t have to do this.

Look, you’re my idol and I’m your fan. A die-hard fan.

When the fan gets to help his idol,

other fans will be jealous, right?

-Your whisky. -Thank you.

Anyway, I want to say thank you.

Look,

we only planted the seeds of doubt today.

Zhan Nanxian already had such a big reaction.

Do you think the lunch today...

served its purpose?

Or did it fail?

It’s ridiculous speaking of this.

Nanxian ate the dessert I fed him...

in front of Wen Nuan.

It looked like we were affectionate...

when nothing could be further from the truth.

He was just acting in front of Wen Nuan.

Mr. Zhan is a man of extreme confidence.

Even when everyone knows about Wen Nuan and Linlu's relationship.

But he...

has never worried about it.

Unless...

Unless what?

Unless he had run into...

a real betrayal.

This is your dinner?

Mr. Zhan,

what can I do for you?

I’ll treat you to a dinner.

-It’s okay, I am fine with this. -Are you used to me buying it for you?

Hey, boss.

Hey Mr. Handsome, welcome.

This girl looks so familiar.

Is she your girlfriend?

I'll take your order in a second.

This place...

hasn’t changed at all.

No.

Looks the same as it did seven years ago.

Still the same order?

Miss, what would you like?

Is this girl the one from when you were at university...

Get her yellow croaker fish dumplings.

-Okay. -Without coriander, double vinegar.

Double vinegar?

Miss, you like vinegar that much?

Okay, the food will be out soon.

-It’s here. -Here you go.

That was quick.

Be careful, it’s hot.

-Thank you. -You’re welcome.

-Thank you. -Please enjoy.

Mmm, were you looking at me when I...

played basketball this afternoon?

You have a lot of admirers.

Oh.

Okay, then.

You didn’t go?

But at the last minute of the game,

I saw...

a pretty girl there.

That was why I threw the three-pointer.

I really want to know...

what she is doing now.

You don't take the game seriously, you’re just looking at pretty girls.

I think you have to starve today.

I saw you, stop hiding.

Look, you have to come to all my games,

-do you understand? -Hmm… It's up to you.

Why are you not eating?

It’s nothing.

I'm not hungry.

Did you eat too much at lunch with Pan Weining this afternoon?

I said I'm not hungry, it has nothing to do with anyone else.

I don’t think it’s your appetite. It’s your brain.

I told you to stay away from Pan Weining. You will get hurt if you are with him.

Have you forgotten what I said?

I don’t know the tricks and schemes in business and I hope I don't have to.

Who I see and make friends with in my personal life

has...

nothing to do with you.

So you think work is work, and a personal life is personal?

But do you think that after work, people still see you as Wen Nuan?

Want to bet?

What?

Let’s bet on how true your friends are.

Do they sincerely want to be friends with you,

or is it simply because you’re the CEO’s assistant?

Bring it on.

I have a question for you.

Shoot.

Is it true what Linlu says about...

what happened to Prof. Wang? Were you involved?

Well...

it depends on whether you believe me or him.

You guys are like regulars.

We have a new cold dish. Try it.

Miss, you’re pouring so much vinegar.

People come here to eat dumplings, she’s here for the vinegar.

Enjoy.

I’ll have some too.

Is it better this way?

Why isn’t Boss coming?

I don’t know. What’s the situation with Yi Zhong?

The contract has been sent over.

If there are no serious issues, we can sign it soon.

Then I don’t think there'll be a problem.

Why don’t we go to Nanxian’s house today?

It's UEFA time today.

UEFA?

No, I can’t.

I have to go home tonight.

There's some technical stuff I have to finish up.

-Bye. -You’re such a nerd,

researching how to build a robotic girlfriend.

You know about that?

Really?

I don’t remember talking about this.

Don’t tell anyone!

Robotic girlfriend?

What is Guan Ti thinking?

The food here is just too delicious.

Try this.

Hold on.

Did we order this much?

-Thank you. -You’re welcome.

What’s this?

Mr. Guan, you are such a nice guy,

bringing me to a place with such amazing food.

No, I think you're the nice one.

To me, Xiaodai is a kind and warm-hearted lady.

You've helped me a lot. I was trying to find a way to say thank you.

Mr. Guan,

please don’t say it that way.

I’m happy to help you out. Do you know that

every time you come to the 66th floor, I get really excited?

Xiaodai, do you have something going on?

No, not at all.

-I'm looking for an apartment. -I’ll help you out.

I have experience in this. I’ll pick the best one for you.

-I am good at it. -Mr. Guan, I don’t want to bother you.

No trouble. It’s easy. Leave it to me and don't worry about a thing.

Mr. Guan,

let’s eat.

-Aren't you looking for... -Do it later.

Try this shrimp ball. It’s amazing!

Mr. Guan.

Mr. Guan.

I have something I need your help with.

What is it?

Er,

can you help persuade Mr. Zhan to have Du Xintong

from the Administrative Department reinstated to her original position?

-Er, I-- -I know it's a bit inconvenient for you.

But I was hoping you could help me out.

I… I’ll try.

Might you call it saving a damsel in distress?

-I’ll try. -Thank you.

Boss, this turtle is growing well.

I’ll get it something to drink.

Put it down!

-It won’t die. -Hurry!

You’re feeling sorry for the turtle, seriously?

Guan Ti, if you don't join us, I’ll play first.

I can't. I need to do something.

What?

I’m looking for an apartment.

An apartment? Are you moving?

No, it's, er...

Xiaodai needs to move.

This one looks nice!

It's close to work. Good public transport.

Xiaodai will like it.

Guan Ti, you seem pretty concerned lately about Ding Xiaodai.

You are right. Guess what?

I think our company should care about our staff's lives.

When their lives are going well, their productivity improves.

Please think about it:

if nothing but basic needs are being met, work will suffer.

People might start saying you're not doing the best work as Financial Controller.

I'm just trying to help you out.

You’re right.

Work even harder. I need to see results.

Hey, Gao, stop talking to him. Come on!

Here I am.

Boss, it looks like you lost the game?

Do you need my help?

-Hey, please don't. Go, go... -Don't be shy. Come on, baby.

Boss, well…

I need to check one thing with you. Er...

Do you still remember Du Xintong?

The one that you personally had transferred to the trainee department?

Yeah?

Did someone ask you for help?

Not really. I don’t care which department you transferred Du Xintong to.

It’s just that a colleague, Guo Ruqian, from the R&D department,

he likes Du Xintong very much. He puts his whole heart on her.

So, if you were to transfer Du Xintong

to a different department, it would increase Guo Ruqian's productivity.

-Don't you think? -You know the rules.

Nobody can break the rules.

I knew you'd say that.

But I was wondering, why?

I've noticed a strange thing lately.

Very strange.

What is strange?

Some people in the office were saying...

that you transferred Du Xintong because of Wen Nuan.

Is it true?

Does it matter...

if it's true or not?

-Hello, Mr. Guan. -Hello, Mr. Guan.

Mr. Guan,

-is anything wrong? -Please don’t move.

Mmmm, you are beautiful, smart,

and capable.

Mr. Guan, what's going on?

Well, Wen Nuan, tell me.

Tell me honestly.

Do you have a special relationship with Nanxian?

I feel like he gives you special treatment.

Mr. Guan. You’re the leader in the R&D Department.

Did you really come to the 66th floor, early in the morning,

to ask nonsense questions?

No.

R&D...

needs to come from real life.

Wen Nuan, don’t be shy.

Tell me, do the two of you have a special relationship?

Let me put it this way.

Do you like him or does he like you?

-Hello, Mr. Zhan. -Hello, Mr. Zhan.

Hey, boss.

What are you guys talking about? You look so happy.

Well, I was just getting these documents to Wen Nuan.

Wen Nuan, thanks for your hard work.

I appreciate your help.

What important document must you deliver to Wen Nuan so early in the morning?

And it seemed the three of you were chatting rather happily.

Xiaodai, tell me what it is?

-I… -What is it?

Seriously, you want to know?

Boss,

you slept in my bed last night. But why did you kick me?

Hey, you are kicking me again.

You are kicking me again. You're hurting me. Come on, go easy.

Go easy. Otherwise, I think you will have to sleep with Gao.

Did you hear that?

Mr. Zhan is so lovely. I didn't realize that.

However, I still think Mr. Guan is cuter than Mr. Zhan.

I can't imagine lovelier boys than them.

Take it please. You are slobbering.

Xintong, you do not have to do this.

It's okay. I do not have anything else to do other than training.

Thanks for your hard work.

Let's check out the other room.

I will never accept the way things are.

Wen Nuan,

just wait and see.

Come in.

Boss.

This is the latest report from Alpha.

Please take a look.

How is your research on Prof. Wang going?

Professor Wang seems innocent, as far as I can tell.

He did some research work at a university after he quit.

Doesn't look like he violated any non-compete agreements.

Keep an eye on it. Let me know if you notice anything unusual.

-Sure -Thanks.

Zhan Nanxian,

you'd better not make a mistake and blow your cover.

REPLY: PROPOSAL FROM SHALLOW COSMOS

Hello.

Auntie Li.

It's me.

I am sorry to bother you.

Wen Nuan,

it sounds like you are very tired.

How are you sleeping these days?

I feel...

recently...

so out of control.

I'm well aware that he has a new girlfriend.

But every single word he says,

each time he looks at me,

it affects my mood so much.

I don't know, can it be good for me...

to go on like this?

Then I will ask you a simple question.

Do you want to leave him?

See?

You already know the answer.

Even if you are having a hard time, you still want to stay put, right?

Only by facing it can you be free from it.

I hope to see the old Wen Nuan soon.

Thank you, Auntie Li.

Good night.

Good night.

Hey, Nuan.

I am close to your work. Want to have lunch?

Sorry, I'm too busy. We are about to sign a contract with Yi Zhong.

There are still some documents pending Mr. Pan's approval.

Why are you working so hard for Shallow Cosmos?

I will be there soon. Be ready, please.

Linlu?

Zhu Linlu?

Hey, please do not frighten me.

Xiaodai,

something serious has come up. Get these files to Mr. Zhan when he is back.

Call me if there's anything urgent.

Wen Nuan.

Excuse me, please.

Excuse me, please.

Excuse me, please.

-Excuse me, please. -Do not go.

It's not allowed.

-He is my friend. Linlu! -Wait a second.

Zhu Linlu.

-Nuan. -Okay, go.

Just a moment, please.

Are you okay? Did you get hurt?

It's okay. That driver is drunk.

Thank God it was just a small accident. Otherwise, I'd be in big trouble.

-What's wrong with your head? -It's just a bruise.

-It's swollen. -Take it easy. It's only a bruise.

Let's go to the hospital.

No need to go to the hospital.

-It's not serious at all. -It's better to have it looked at.

What if you have internal injuries?

How would that happen? It's just a bump.

-It looks serious. -I am fine.

Zhu Linlu. You hurt your head. Stop joking around.

-Anything else? Let me check. -Calm down.

Are your hands and feet okay?

-Nothing else? -Nope.

Zhu Linlu, let's go to the hospital.

Hospital?

Okay, I can go. But you will have to come with me.

-Er... It hurts. -Okay, then.

Really? Deal?

-Okay, I'll go with you. -Go.

Hello.

They have taken the car.

Right.

I need to go to the hospital now. I'll be back soon.

Okay. Bye.

It's strange. The driver said that he is close.

-How come he hasn't come? -Traffic. Be patient.

-Hello, Xiaodai. -Wen Nuan, please hurry back.

What's wrong?

There must be something wrong. Yi Zhong has not come to sign the contract.

They just sent a guy over with a document.

Mr. Zhan was angry when he found out you are not here. Come back soon.

I need to do something. I will be back shortly.

What's going on?

Just work stuff.

Doesn't matter. Let's get you to the hospital.

Watch out.

Xiaodai, what's wrong this time?

Wen Nuan,

Mr. Guan and Mr. Gao are here.

They look serious.

I am frightened. Come back soon!

I will be back soon.

What's wrong with you? What are you doing?

No rush. Shallow Cosmos will survive without you.

I want to get you to the hospital, now.

You want to get me to hospital soon? Or you need to see Zhan Nanxian soon?

Linlu.

Linlu.

Linlu.

You look so worried. It shows. I know now who is more important to you.

You know it, clearly.

Even if you are with me, your heart is with him.

I do not need cheap sympathy like this.

Be careful. Bye.

Let's go now, driver.

I am sorry, Linlu.

Wen Nuan. You're finally back.

-I was scared to death just now. -Where do things stand?

Yi Zhong refused to sign the contract.

He refused to sign it?

-Mr. Zhan is waiting for you. Please go. -Here, take this.

Come in.

Where did you go?

Linlu had a car accident.

I was trying to get him to the hospital.

Did he fracture a bone? Concussion?

Take a look!

What are these?

Pan Wei'an sent over these photos.

Yi Zhong did not sign the contract because of these photos?

Mr. Zhan, you were there as well when I met up with Mr. Pan.

-You know it was just a regular meal. -A regular meal?

Seems only you think it was a regular meal.

Pan Weining is never as simple as you think.

He showed up suddenly at the board meeting this morning.

He brought a quote and a proposal from Dai Zhong.

The proposal from Dai Zhong is exactly the same as ours.

Except theirs is 15 percent cheaper.

Yi Zhong called it off immediately.

Do you still remember what I said before?

I told you to stay away from Pan Weining and Zhu Linlu. What did you say?

"Work is work, personal life is personal."

Who will pay the price for your naivety?

Wen Nuan,

it's not that we want to reveal that you did this.

But you see it yourself. The photos in your hands...

These photos don't say anything.

The problem is with the proposal.

How did our information get out?

The R&D department formed teams of three.

Each team worked on one of the subsystems.

Guan Ti then integrated all subsystems

and assembled a comprehensive proposal. You were the one who finalized it.

So other than you, I, Nanxian and Guan Ti,

nobody else in this company knew about the inside information.

But these proposals were sent to Mr. Pan several times

to get his approval.

-It's possible that... -No way.

You know this information is important to him.

No one in his company knew anything about the proposal review process.

So it's an inside job.

I know it's useless to say anything now.

But I swear,

I never broke any rules.

Wen Nuan, you don't have to swear.

We will not treat anyone unfairly. Let me put it this way,

Shallow Cosmos has a super powerful network management system.

We have records for each step on each computer

that we can access anytime.

We have independent monitoring systems for email communications and phone calls.

Usually we have no need to check them. However, I checked your mailbox today

because of all this.

You checked my inbox?

It's the only way to prove you're innocent.

According to the backup server,

you sent an external email yesterday.

The recipient was Zhu Linlu.

The attachment...

was our company's proposal for Yi Zhong.

I did no such thing.
