Original subtitles

Linlu has seen quite a lot on the battlefield of business.

I don't believe he'll let Pan Weining make a mess so easily.

Plus, he and Zhan Nanxian are not people who surrender easily.

The boat will turn when it reaches the dock. We don't need to worry too much.

I can't do much to help Linlu at the moment.

But regarding Nanxian, I'm not that worried.

-Why? -Sis,

do you remember Dad used to have a student called Leo?

SHANGHAI HOSPITAL

-Come in. -How are you?

-Feeling better? -What snacks did you bring me?

Feeling much better. The results will be back in a couple of days.

I'm sure there's no problem. No biggie.

Seeing you so pumped up, I'm very relieved.

Have a seat.

-How's the investment going? -Do you remember Leo?

Leo? Isn't he focused on E-commerce?

He's into tech companies now.

He's really interested in Shallow Cosmos.

If we're successful in getting him to invest this time,

we can continue our research and development. Once that's successful,

all of our problems will be solved.

That's great.

Right, what about Guan Ti?

Pan Weining invested in a company for him.

He's too simple. All he thinks about is R&D.

He knows nothing about the struggle and back stabbing on the business side.

I'm worried he'll suffer a great loss this time.

If he doesn't suffer a loss, how will he learn his lesson?

So, you don't blame him, do you?

Would I let him go that easily?

Let me tell you, I'll teach him a big lesson this time.

-Let me make you some non-hospital food. -I'm fine. I'll do it myself.

I'm a healthy person. There's nothing wrong with me.

-You got night shift again today? -Yes.

Then get some good rest this afternoon.

Come in.

Wen Nuan.

Sit. What are you doing here?

I heard you were sick, so I came to see you.

I'm fine, no biggie.

-How are you? Getting better? -I'm okay.

As soon as I got sick, everyone knows about it.

I didn't expect to fall ill with the company at such a difficult juncture.

Don't think about it too much. It's more important that you get well.

I feel relieved seeing you've come back.

You have no idea. Guan Ti left Shallow Cosmos due to his hissy fits.

I fell off the wagon at critical time.

Nanxian is running the company all by himself now.

Nanxian is a very competent person. He's got a bad mouth but a soft heart.

There are a lot of things he'd rather suffer by himself than tell anyone.

At times like this, if he has someone he trusts by his side,

it would be of great help to him. I hope you get what I'm saying.

Come in.

Mr. Zhan, I've contacted the director of the other party.

He said he's interested in the technology we are developing.

But he's hesitant due to Shallow Cosmos' current situation.

To see if we're dependable, he's asking us to provide him

with a future development proposal

He will look at it and re-evaluate.

Here are Shallow Cosmos' plans for the next five years.

Help me work out a preliminary proposal.

-Me? -Is that a problem?

As soon as possible.

Okay, I'll get back to work.

-Hello, Xiaodai. -Wen Nuan, please save me.

Teach me, how to do a future development proposal.

-What's wrong? -Shallow Cosmos has a cash flow problem.

We're looking for investors for Professor Wang's project,

but a lot of companies are wary of us.

So, there's this company that's willing to give us an opportunity.

That's great news.

But the company asked us to provide a proposal.

We are so busy because of it.

We've been busy for a few days. And since Mr. Zhan came in this morning,

he hasn't had anything to eat. He's been in the office this whole time.

What should we do, Wen Nuan? Help us out, save us.

Xiaodai, don't worry. Go buy lunch for Mr. Zhan first,

leave the proposal to me.

Really? That's great. I'll go buy lunch for Mr. Zhan now.

Oh, right, Xiaodai. Go to the second store at the intersection of University City.

Get yellow fish wonton for him. He likes that.

Really? Okay, I'm going to get it for him now.

-Thank you Wen Nuan. -It's okay. Bye.

Welcome, this way.

What's up, Mr. Guan.

Mr. Pan, regarding my research project.

I really appreciate your trust in me.

But I don't think my research is ready yet.

And our colleagues at Yi Zhong are talking about the future development plans.

I feel the process is...

I knew you'd ask me this.

I know that for a project to go from R&D to production

is a very long process.

Don't worry. I won't push you to speed it up.

But Mr. Guan, from a capital operation perspective,

the market changes in a split second.

We have to be ready for all outcomes, so no one steals our creation, right?

Yes, that's correct.

But if I sign both contracts,

that means we have to see results.

If there are any obstacles during the R&D process,

we can't control the outcome.

So, I was thinking... Can we slow things down a bit?

Let me give you a more thoughtful proposal, then...

Mr. Guan.

I have so much faith in you. Why do you still doubt yourself?

How about this, let me tell you something.

Before I got in touch with you,

I actually had our research evaluated by the most elite team in the world.

Their report says...

they have great faith in your project.

So please don't fall into the cycle of self-doubt.

That's not good.

Plus, don't you want to...

Don't you want to

compete with Professor Wang's project that he's developing for Zhan Nanxian?

You'll get more recognition by releasing your product to the market earlier.

Right?

Let's wrap it up. I've got some errands to run. I'll see you, Mr. Guan.

Relax.

Relax? How could I relax with things moving so quickly.

Okay. Okay, Mr. Pan.

Hello, thanks.

I've got some snacks in the trunk.

-Share with everyone. -Okay.

Everyone, Mr. Pan brought you snacks.

-Here, take it. -Mr. Pan's treat.

Thank you, Mr. Pan.

Thank you, Mr. Pan.

Let's take a little break in my car.

You shouldn't always waste money every time you visit me.

It's not a waste. To visit you, treat people with snacks, that's my duty.

By the way...

Here.

-Drink this. -What's this?

I had my housemaid make some date tea for you.

You've got quite a few under-water scenes lately.

I worry you'll catch a cold. Drink it and warm up.

Also, how's Uncle lately?

He's fine. He's resting in the hospital and his vitals are stable.

I heard from Lele that you want to buy your dad a house.

He's been through some rough times.

I want to pick a nice place for him after he gets better

so that he can settle down.

You're so busy with your work, why should you have to worry about this?

I've selected a few off the internet and picked some for you to look at.

Isn't your old place being demolished at the moment?

In the surroundings area, there are some high-end buildings.

Look at these.

Close to convenient transportation, all amenities.

AN JU KE

This one is good.

It's got a yard. He can garden there.

This is what I want.

Weining, I really appreciate it. You always come to see me,

and deal with so many things for me.

I hope I'm not getting in the way of your work?

Of course not. I can balance life and work.

Coming to see you

is also a motivation for me to continue fighting.

By the way Yi Xin, me coming on set like this,

is it working?

Publicly, everyone thinks you're Zhan Nanxian's girlfriend, right?

-About that... -Yi Xin.

Have you thought about clarifying this to everyone.

You two can't be together anyway. Why are you still so connected to him?

Yes, eventually I'll have to clarify this to the public.

It's just that, his career

is in a crisis. If I bring it up now, clarifying now,

what would everyone think of me?

They would see me as a someone who loves only the rich not the poor?

-So... -I understand.

Don't worry. I've chosen to be with you,

so I'll love you with all my heart.

As for Nanxian, when it's time,

I'll publicly come clean.

Hello, Sir. Are you looking for a ring, a necklace, or earrings?

-A necklace. -Okay, this way.

Sir, take a look at these.

These are all our new arrivals, you may take a look.

-Let me have a look at this one. -Okay.

-This is the one. -Good eye.

Mr. Zhan, your lunch is here. Eat first then work.

Why did you buy this?

What? I...

I picked it randomly.

-Randomly? -Yes.

Something you randomly picked happens to be my favorite food. You're very good.

It's okay. Back to work. Thanks.

You're welcome, Mr. Zhan. You're the pillar of this company.

If you got sick, who would look after us, Mr. Zhan?

Could you ask Wen Nuan to come back?

When she was here, everything was organized. Also,

she can help you with a lot of work too. Look at me,

there's not much I can help with.

Xiaodai, you should know that it's her business whether she wants to come back.

I don't have the right to intervene.

I'll definitely persuade her to come back.

I'll get back to work. Enjoy your meal, Mr. Zhan.

Are you feeling better now?

Much better.

Auntie Zhou,

I'm really sorry. If not for me, Uncle Zhan wouldn't...

Do you remember it all?

Back then, I didn't know that you lost your memory.

The words I said provoked you. I apologize.

I should be the one apologizing.

Do you know Wen Nuan...

When you were with Nanxian back then, I liked you a lot.

I thought, "This girl is so smart.

She really knows how to please the seniors in the family."

I really hoped you could be my daughter-in-law.

Why did you break up with Nanxian so suddenly and torture him like that?

Do you know how much my family suffered because of you?

-I'm sorry. -It already happened.

It doesn't matter how much you apologize, it won't help.

If you really want to make up for your past mistakes,

please do not bother Nanxian anymore.

I only want to help him.

I appreciate your good intentions, but there's really no need.

I know you shouldn't take the blame for everything,

but if the two of you were together you'd only cause each other grief.

If you really care about Nanxian,

I think you know what to do.

Mr. Zhan.

You wrote this yourself?

Yes.

"Shallow Cosmos' five year development plan

will focus primarily on high tech mass production

and synchronized production." How did you come up with this argument?

Because this company

is working with Professor Wang on that R&D project.

It's...

And this, "To increase Shallow Cosmos' current market share."

I think this part of your thesis is brilliant.

Care to share your thoughts on this?

Damn it, I'm getting caught cheating. Mr. Zhan is going to be mad.

Forget it, leave this proposal with me.

Bye Mr. Zhan.

Wen Nuan...

is this you?

Hey.

Come.

Are you sick?

A little bit.

I passed by this morning, and I bought you breakfast.

-And the facial mask you normally use. -Oh.

-Oh? -Oh.

-Are you upset? -No, I'm not.

Well, let me tell you some good news. At the moment,

I'm a very popular guy. Lots of people want to have dinner with me.

I have to think, "Who will I dine with today? Who will I dine with tomorrow?"

Then go have dinner with them.

-I'm busy. -Don't.

You're down here anyway. Take the stuff.

Okay. I can't reject a gift. I'll eat your breakfast until you go bankrupt.

Oh, that's impossible. Also, people take me seriously now.

They treat me like I'm the cream of the crop.

I can do whatever I want. I...

-Xiaodai. -Yes.

Nanxian and Gao Fang don't take me seriously anyway.

There are people who have an eye for talent.

Congratulations, you're great.

Tell me, since I left,

have Nanxian and Gao Fang seemed regretful?

Probably not. Mr. Zhan is as busy as a spinning top.

Mr. Gao is sick in the hospital.

Mr. Gao is in the hospital? Is he okay?

Ask him for yourself if you want to know.

Hey.

Guan Ti, aren't you tired of puttering around at the door?

-How do you feel? -I'm feeling fine.

-I won't die. -But you don't look too good.

I'm fine.

I was probably over-exerting myself.

How about you? How's it going with starting your own business?

I'm fine, I've got money, I've got people. Let me tell you,

my production may be released to the market very soon.

Are you still mad at me and Nanxian?

Anyone can tell you what you want to hear but only your friends are honest with you.

If you rashly release your product to the market, are you sure you can succeed?

Other people can't, maybe I can.

Okay. As your friend, I wish you success.

I won't say another word.

If there's nothing else, I'm leaving.

Nanxian is concerned about you.

Brotherhood is for life. Go visit him when you're not mad anymore.

I didn't say we'd never see each other again.

Mr. Guan, a few sponsors have reached out to me.

They're very interested in your project.

It's got real potential. What I'm going to do now is

pick one of them to collaborate with,

see how we can maximize profits.

Mr. Pan, I remember I telling you

that the research is not completed yet. We shouldn't rush to the production phase.

And I told you that you only need to focus on your research.

-No need to worry about anything else. -You also said at the beginning that...

you would give me full support on my research. So, the research is mine too.

Now you're going to sell it, how can I leave that alone?

This is the agreement that we signed,

there's a clause clearly stating that...

all intellectual property developed by you belongs to the investor, Yi Zhong.

Who do you think has got the deciding power on this matter?

No.

See it?

No, that's not what we discussed.

Mr. Guan, if you don't know how to read an agreement

I can hire a lawyer to teach you, how's that?

Hello.

Miss Xiaodai, this is Reception.

The investor's director is downstairs, should I send him up?

What? Downstairs? Hurry and bring him up.

Mr. Zhan, the investor is here.

Mr. Zhan, after seeing your proposal, Leo is very interested.

He's confident about Professor Wang's project. So, we're willing to invest.

When we discussed this, Leo seemed to have a lot of doubts.

-Why has he suddenly changed his mind? -Miss Wen Nuan spoke with Leo.

Her father helped Leo when he first started his business.

But what made up his mind to invest is

completely based on the objective analysis of Shallow Cosmos and the project itself.

Plus his admiration of your personal capability.

Besides monetary support,

we're going to connect you to related overseas research centers

to speed up your project.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

There's something I want to give you on Leo's behalf.

The person who'll represent us at Shallow Cosmos,

is the same person you wanted to keep.

It's up to you how you want to deal with it.

The person I want to keep? Who is it?

Wen Nuan.

-Nuan. -Yes.

Are you going to look for a job?

-I've found a job already. -Already?

You've only been out of work for a few days. You found a job already?

Which company? Are they reliable?

-Shallow Cosmos. -Shallow Cosmos?

You really decided to go back to Shallow Cosmos?

Are you okay with seeing Zhan Nanxian again?

Sis, don't panic, I'll be working at Shallow Cosmos,

but my employer is Leo, not Nanxian.

On the other hand, I told you that I came back this time to make it up to him.

I want to help his company, and now there's this really good opportunity.

If I back out again, how am I different from what I used to be?

You've thought this through. What about Zhan Nanxian?

We're professional. That's the best way for us to be now.

I believe that Nanxian understands this too.

Wen Nuan.

Snowflakes keep falling into my eyes

A flame keeps flickering and never dies

I buried myself in memories

Where are you Who I've become addicted to?

Misunderstanding carved Into bones inch by inch

So stubborn to pretend to be okay

Fate is hard to predict

Love is fragile

I miss you. My heart is filled with Warm sadness. It's like a pair of wings

I can't stop and I can't fly away I can only wander in the past

You left without a goodbye Even if it was for my sake

With a such burden How can I fly?

Wearing my warmest sorrow And plant a room of wishes

Happiness will eventually shine Around you like the Sun

We missed each other in the crowd

In each other’s hearts

Always surging

Flowers perish but people who care...

It's good to have you back.

...can smell its scent

We're apart, but people who Care can hear the sound

Thank you, Wen Nuan.

No matter how long is not long enough

I miss you. My heart is filled with Warm sadness. It's like a pair of wings

In the coming days, please look after me...

at work.

You left without a goodbye Even if was for my sake

With a such burden How can I fly?

Isn't there anything else you'd like to say to me?

...my warmest sorrow Plant a room of wishes

I've already talked to Leo.

He gave me specific instructions regarding the contract.

He said we need to go through all the details carefully

so that we don't have any disputes in the future.

A wave that will always Surge in the heart

Great. All right.

I've talked to Chi Bika. You'll still be on level 66.

It'll make it easier for us to discuss things.

Do you have any other requests?

Can't love is the furthest Exile in this world.

But to have love is the happiest tie.

Welcome back.

Okay.

-Gao. -You got the investment?

-Yes. -That's great.

So you can now focus on resting and getting well. Don't stress too much.

What do you mean by "I can"?

With Wen Nuan back you no longer need me, right?

Do you know, I never expected

Wen Nuan to come back as the investor's representative.

That's okay.

As long as she's by your side.

I didn't expect her to come back this way.

No matter what, she won't abandon you. This proves

that you have a special place in her heart.

In fact, you want her to make the move, don't you?

-You know me well. -Of course.

Okay, take care. I'll come and visit when I'm free.

-Okay. -Bye.

-Hello madam. -Hello madam.

I'll get the elevator for you.

-Thank you. -This way please.

Is Wen Nuan back at Shallow Cosmos?
