Yangyang.

I want to apologize to you first.

I was a bit emotional that day

and said some things I shouldn't have.

Please don't take it to heart.

It's fine, Meng Yu.

I was actually a bit emotional that day too.

I feel really bad about it.

I'll leave you two to talk.

I'll wait for you over there.

It's time to return the things in this bag to you.

They were yours to begin with.

I was just keeping them for you for a while.

This...

I know you're having a hard time right now.

Being smeared online

and falsely accused of plagiarism,

any of these could crush you.

As for this house,

it might not solve your urgent needs,

but it can at least lighten your burden.

No, I really can't accept this.

You can also treat this

as a memento of our past,

or perhaps

as compensation for you over the years.

Fang Yuan, I'd better return it to you.

I don't need your compensation.

This house was yours to begin with.

Returning it to you

is the only way I can feel at ease.

Let it be put to good use.

Don't have any worries.

We will both be fine in the future.

Things will definitely get better for us.

Just take it.

Don't make my trip here meaningless.

Okay.

Thank you.

I'm telling you, this guy never stops.

He's been buying internet trolls to sway public opinion these past few days.

The negative reviews about us online

are coming in waves.

Fang Yuan.

How many times have I told you?

Young people shouldn't be too arrogant.

The scissors are in my hands.

If I cut you into a tree,

you are a tree.

If I say I'll cut you into grass,

you are grass.

Don't think a little grass

can spring back to life in the breeze.

I can make you spring.

Punk.

There are two thorny issues right now.

One is our funding gap,

and the other is

our reputation being trashed.

Yeah.

Even if we scrape together enough money

and finish the project,

our reputation will be completely ruined.

I think funding is our lifeline.

If we can't raise the money,

let alone innovating,

we won't even survive the next round of production.

The company will go under.

So I think we should prioritize finding investment.

Even with harsh terms,

we need to keep ourselves alive first.

Finding investment isn't that easy.

Right now,

the whole internet is full of negative reviews about us.

When investors see our reputation and data,

why would they want to invest?

So the top priority now should be turning our reputation around,

so we have the leverage to negotiate for investment.

Whatever.

I think this reputation issue

hasn't escalated to the point of being truly rotten.

And Mr. Gu will definitely keep interfering,

right?

But I think

bad publicity is still publicity.

If we take advantage of this hype,

and release a wave of high-energy clips

to prove them wrong with our skills,

maybe we can turn the situation around.

No, no.

Broadcasting it now is just exposing our weaknesses.

If it doesn't meet expectations,

we'll only get scolded worse.

Then we won't have any chance to turn things around.

Bro, I agree with Yang Qi.

Now is not the time to be reckless.

The most important thing for us now is to turn our reputation around.

Only when our reputation is good

can we truly retain users.

If we don't have a good reputation,

and just rely on some short-term viral videos

to gain traffic and attention,

we won't be able to retain users,

let alone investors.

So is it possible for us

to release some behind-the-scenes footage

to make everyone feel that we are

a team that actually does solid work,

and slowly rebuild trust?

Don't overthink it.

It's normal for a team to have disagreements.

There will always be a solution.

You've been exhausted at work these days.

Get some rest.

Your heart has been bothering you again.

Otherwise, you're going to ruin your health.

I've actually made up my mind.

I won't sell the house for now.

I read the document you gave me this afternoon.

The Tianjin Cultural and Creative Development Policy.

It says we can apply for a low-interest loan.

I want to try this route first.

If it really doesn't work out,

I'll consider selling the house.

We'll find a way to solve the money issue.

Once the money issue is solved,

the internet trolls, Mr. Gu...

we'll settle those scores together.

Zaodianxia

can't be ruined by them.

As long as you've thought it through.

In the future,

whether in good times or bad,

rich or poor,

I will always be with you.

No matter how big the problem is,

I'll shoulder it with you.

You never have to bear it all by yourself.

Alright, stop fussing.

Sit down and rest for a while.

I don't mind being busy.

I'll be at ease once you're well.

Mom, Dad, Auntie.

Mengyu brought this for you.

She said she picked it out especially for you.

She wants you to eat more

to nourish your body and recover faster.

Ask your mom to step out for a moment.

I want to have a man-to-man talk with you.

At your age,

what can't you say in front of me?

Did you think if you kept it from me,

I wouldn't know

that your company hit a rough patch recently?

Your mom can't keep a secret.

She told me a long time ago.

You kid.

I know how you are.

Once you make up your mind, nothing can stop you.

I didn't want you to start a business,

not because I didn't believe in you,

but because I was afraid you'd fail

and suffer.

I've always played it safe my whole life.

I never took risks.

I just wanted you to be safe and sound.

Now that I've gotten this illness,

I've finally figured it out.

You only live once.

Living in fear

is no way to live.

Since you've already taken this step,

I won't stop you anymore.

I support you.

But remember,

no matter how things go out there,

family will always have your back.

Come back and rest when you're tired.

Don't push yourself too hard.

Don't be like me,

ruining your health.

It'll be too late for regrets.

Dad.

I'll work hard

and live up to your trust.

Okay.

When Jianbing Man comes out,

I'll show it to you right away.

This... Mr. Gu

has misled everyone,

saying that we copied them.

What should we do?

We just need to prove we created it earlier than them.

There are so many.

Which ones are useful?

Good news, good news!

The venture capital fund we applied for has been approved.

Great.

The money issue is solved.

Next, we should settle the score with him over the plagiarism.

Here are the original character design files,

as well as the storyboards.

The modification and creation times,

I have organized them all.

We can hand these over

to the police and lawyers as soon as possible.

But Mr. Gu has so-called evidence.

We know theirs is fake.

But the netizens obviously believe them now.

The police and lawyers also need time.

I'm afraid if public opinion drags on like this,

we won't have time.

Come look, come look!

I have a video recording of our meeting back then.

Look.

The TikTok account I posted on before,

I think it will definitely help us

reverse our reputation.

This...

When did you set up this account?

I was thinking at the time,

we could record our daily startup life.

If we ever go viral one day,

wouldn't it be the best memory?

Then this thing of yours can be considered

very favorable evidence for us.

We finally have something we can use now.

Right, let's post it.

Look at this.

This video of mine...

From filming to recording,

to editing and publishing,

and our upload time,

everything matches up.

It's over two months earlier than theirs.

So,

what's real can't be fake,

and what's fake can't be real.

He has no way to argue his way out now.

Look, this netizen even said it.

I saw this video a long time ago.

How can they still put the blame on us?

They are all speaking in our favor.

So now we need to organize the video's

publish time, modification time,

and cloud backup time

into a timeline.

The key is

to make them corroborate each other.

This way, everyone can see at a glance

that we published it earlier than they did.

Then I'll contact my media friends right away.

Send me this timeline,

and I'll have them spread it.

I'll also forward it to our industry group chat

to let the insiders know,

so they won't be misled by Mr. Gu's words.

Okay, okay.

I'll go edit the video

and organize the materials.

I'll send them to you later.

Thanks for your hard work.

Send it quickly.

Don't give Mr. Gu a chance to fight back.

Okay.

Let's send the lawyer's letter right away.

We Zaodianxia

won't bow to any evil forces.

The evidence has spread enough.

The statements have been issued.

Now the netizens have seen the timeline clearly.

It's time to send a return gift.

This document,

I have to deliver it in person

to ensure it goes directly to their legal department.

You guys talk.

Mr. Gu deleted all the posts cursing us.

He's probably scared.

Netizens actually made a timeline for us,

which proves that they are overwhelmingly

on our side, the side of justice.

The public opinion has completely turned around.

In the industry group now,

everyone is also on our side.

This time the truth was not buried.

He wants to take a shortcut by plagiarizing and smearing,

so he has to pay the price.

Zaodianxia is our hard work.

We can't let him ruin it like this.

What's wrong?

Mr. Gu, what happened again?

It's a message from the Bureau of Culture and Tourism.

What? What? What?

They said our Breakfast Hero has

Tianjin's local cultural characteristics.

So it's a key project,

and they will give us a support fund.
