You're her best friend.

Why would you say that about her?

Best friend?

Would a best friend

fight with me over a man?

If she didn't

come between us,

would I have had to pretend

that we slept together?

No...

That wasn't what I meant...

I knew it.

How could a man

blackout while having sex?

She forced me to do this!

Maybe as you said,

the only person in her eyes

will always be Wu Yue.

Not me.

But I can't help liking her.

It's like this car

which has always brought me warmth.

That's why

I will never give up on her.

Sorry.

I was too rash.

Get lost.

Fake.

It's all fake.

Su Xiao Man,

you are as fake as it gets!

You're a fraud!

(Shao Ting,)

(look what Mom got for you.)

Thanks, Mom.

Mom, why are you crying?

Shao Ting,

Mom wants to go to the US,

to your grandma's place.

I want to go too.

But

you still have classes.

How about you wait

until the school holidays to meet Mom again?

All right.

How long will you be gone?

Son,

that's the school bell.

Go to your class first, okay?

Okay.

I'll head to class first.

Okay, okay.

Run along.

Go.

Mom,

when exactly will you be back?

Son,

go to your class first.

- Okay, bye-bye. - Bye.

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

(It's a long journey, but I will keep going forward until I get to the end someday. Qu Yuan - Li Sao)

Mom!

Mom!

We're returning this to you guys.

The paperwork has been done.

The compensation details

have already been explained to Feng Zheng Zheng.

These are her belongings.

Zheng Zheng,

we should get going.

I have another big piece of news for you.

These are the keywords:

Brain Data,

senior employee,

employment dispute,

having mental health problems,

and

sexual harassment.

Finally taking action

against your own company this time?

Those who commit wrongs

will eventually have to pay the price.

I'll ask you one last time.

Did you

do it?

What else do you want me to say?

Believe it or not.

I don't have time for this.

Did you know that

she got into college when she was 14,

completed her bachelors and masters,

and she is the pride of her family?

Yes.

She used to be their pride.

But so what?

Who can stop her from changing after that?

She's no longer

who she used to be.

She is now a mistress.

A homewrecking mistress!

You saw Sun Qi's wife, right?

And his two

twin children?

What did she do

that is worthy of

making her family proud?

Nobody knows what happened.

How do you know who's right and who's wrong?

Easy for you to say.

She's just a materialistic woman.

Using love as an excuse

to escape from poverty.

Love? Really?

In any case,

even if we help her cover it up today,

she will not change tomorrow

and may even

do more preposterous things.

She's just full of herself

because of her confidence.

All she did was enter college at a young age.

What's the big deal?

She'll eventually still

end up like this.

Fine.

I'll ask you one more question.

Did you see her Mom

walking sorrowfully

out of the office?

Then she can take that chance

to reflect on what she did.

Apart from teaching her child to study,

whether she also taught her any morals.

What you did was so wrong,

so despicable,

so ruthless.

Yet you're so convinced that you're right.

You really think of yourself as a princess?

Everything you have must be the best.

You want Wu Yue.

You also won't let go of Lin Shao.

Aren't you just keeping your options open?

In this world,

the most hypocritical and

the fakest person is you.

Fine.

You can continue your act as

the goody two shoes,

as a kind and perfect person!

Let's see how long you can keep up this act!

What happened?

You look listless.

Who's the lady in that photo?

Which lady?

There are so many ladies on the wall.

The one riding a bicycle.

Do you believe in love at first sight?

Or that love will come with time?

I believe in both.

Which will happen to you?

It's okay if you don't want to say.

Okay.

Let's talk about that lady.

The shop owner at that time

was a different person.

It was Chinese New Year's Eve.

The current shop owner

was dirt poor.

He'd lost all his capital from his businesses

and didn't dare to go back home.

So he came to Legendary,

which was like a home to him.

He'd watch TV

and kill time here.

At that time, this place wasn't as developed.

There weren't many people,

neither was there any company.

So this lady

was the previous shop owner?

Not exactly.

At that moment,

a strange woman

walked in.

She was dressed stylishly.

Yet she was riding a worn-out bicycle.

This lady

held onto her cup of hot tea

and sat completely still while gazing out the window.

She made no signs of leaving.

That made the previous

shop owner extremely anxious.

He was in a rush to close the shop

to go home to celebrate the new year.

But he couldn't rush a customer to leave,

so he passed the key

to a person he trusted.

The current shop owner.

He said, "Eat and drink whatever you want.

It's my treat.

But don't forget to close the shop for the day."

Does that mean that

only a man and a woman were left in the shop?

Correct.

Guess

what happened next?

What happened?

Lao Xu.

You're here.

Lao Xu.

Lao Xu.

See you soon.

Help yourself.

They're here so soon.

You haven't finished your story.

Let's continue next time.

If you come alone again.

Don't tell me

that you are

the current shop owner?

I'm just a business partner.

Why are you here?

You're here for me, right?

Are you okay

after what happened today?

So everyone's been talking about it.

Why did the two of you

end up slapping each other?

I feel like I don't know her anymore.

Then what if

one day,

I change as well?

Then I will beat you up.

Beat you up aggressively.

Good to know that you're fine.

I'll head off first.

Hold on.

Since you care so much about me,

you must like me, right?

Then why won't you ask me,

"Can you be my girlfriend?"

I can't do that right now.

Then when will you be able to do it?

It's not your fault.

It's mine.

I saw your response

on Legendary's message board

regarding the 5.5 encounters.

You wrote

"You wouldn't believe it,

but I've figured it out."

What did you figure out?

If you've figured it out,

then you can't deny it anymore.

Deny what?

Deny that you like me.

Actually,

so what if I managed to figure out

how many encounters we've had?

I've always been in your world.

Whenever I got swayed,

I'll look at that note

and tell myself

that it's not my imagination.

Whenever we're at Legendary,

I really want to break the glass

and give the rose to you.

But I want to leave this

bloody

and slightly silly act for you to do.

♪A lady who falls in love in summer♪

Or do you really want me

to take the rose

♪Her love can only be harvested♪

and ask you to be my boyfriend?

♪In the next autumn♪

♪Autumn is golden♪

♪In the eyes of winter♪

Xiao Man, I...

♪However, it is wilted in the eyes of summer♪

I get it.

But...

you owe me an answer.

Hello, Professor Su.

Today, Brain Data is welcoming back

a boss who used to work with us.

She will be in charge of

software development.

Her name is Xia Fei.

Wu Yue, Lin Shao.

You will continue

to work with me on the hardware.

She will handle the software

on her own.

Look what time it is.

Mr. Ren.

Ms. Xia.

Welcome back!

Let me introduce.

This is Xia Fei, Ms. Xia.

Ms. Xia, welcome.

Mr. Ren.

It wasn't my intention

to eavesdrop.

But I think

that it's a little unfair.

Why does the hardware team

get extra support from the newcomers,

but the software team

doesn't get any help?

You can go take your pick

from the software department.

Further,

you go on leave after business trips

and go on business trips after coming back from leave.

There's no chance for me to meet you.

How would I know

what type of newbie you would like?

If that's the case,

which two newbies work for you?

Okay, let me introduce them.

Wu Yue.

Lin Shao Ting.

Ms. Xia.

Hello, Ms. Xia.

They're both young hunks.

In that case,

I shan't look for any newbies.

I'll just borrow

one from you.

Is that okay?

Ms. Xia.

Ms. Xia.

I'll help you.

This is obviously

my style of doing things!

What's Wu Yue trying to do?

I'll say this hunk

not only knows what he wants

but also knows how to appreciate beauties.

What were you thinking?

You were doing fine with the hardware.

Why do you want to work on software now?

Boss.

You know that my specialization

leans towards software development.

Previously, the software team

had not yet been formed,

so I decided to learn

in the hardware team first.

But now that...

All right, I understand.

How's the development

of your app going?

The coming months will be busy for Brain Data.

We will prioritize

Brain Data's work.

That's not what I meant.

I mentioned previously

that Brain Data will support entrepreneurship.

It's just that Brain Data

won't have the manpower to support you now.

However,

I, personally,

can still help you

on the technical front.

Are you okay?

Recently you and Wu Yue

have revealed your true colors.

What true colors?

That you hit both men and women.

I'm just physically aggressive.

Xiao Man.

I respect you for standing up for yourself.

But I hit your Goddess.

But she retaliated too.

It was fair.

So...

I won't interfere.

I'd like to see you try.

You mentioned Wu Yue earlier.

What happened?

Recently, a boss who used to be

with Brain Data came back.

She's in charge of recruitment

and incorporation for the software department.

Is she the gorgeous female boss

that everyone's been talking about?

Even before she arrived,

her fragrance and gentle voice

wafted into the room.

Her feminine charm

immediately took the stage.

Really?

Brain Data

has such a person?

And what this has to do

with Wu Yue?

Even before I could display my charm,

he swiftly asked to work with her,

signaling that he wasn't going to

give up on software development.

That made Boss Ren

really worried.

You're exaggerating.

I'm serious.

I swear.

See.

He's here to explain.

Speak of the devil.

I've come

to help you guys prepare.

Wu Yue.

Sit.

As our mentor,

shouldn't you be keeping a distance?

Let's not speak about that.

After the revival round,

I left the show.

It's just for fun after all.

Can't let it affect official work.

Did you leave the show for us?

So that you can avoid

gossip?

You're thinking too much.

What's up with everyone?

Why the long faces?

Pull yourselves together.

As a mentor,

supporting you outside the show

seems more challenging

than giving comments

live on the show.

A mentor should

give more practical advice.

What do you think?

Aren't you concerned that

we'll be distracted

from our work at Brain Data?

Or that

this becomes more serious so that

we have no choice

but to leave Brain Data?

You underestimated me.

As long as you can grow and improve,

it doesn't matter to me

who you're working for.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Based on the current situation,

you'll be eliminated in no time.

Disagree?

Let me analyze it for you.

Let's start with

Zhang Jiang.

The geeky nerd.

Your imagination has no limits.

You dare to try new things.

Am I hearing things?

Are you really Boss Ren?

Unfortunately,

you're too haphazard.

Winning votes is one thing.

It's very different from starting up a business.

Your business project

is subject to data confidentiality.

That will decide

its potential for growth.

It's very limited.

But we're making adjustments along the way.

Who's going to wait for you?

Once you start on the wrong foot,

all your work will go to waste.

Aren't you being too pragmatic?

That's not helpful.

I was about to talk about you.

Your problem

is your indifferent attitude.

Whether a business can succeed,

whether it earns money,

doesn't seem to bother you.

A person who has no drive to succeed

will never succeed.

So you're saying

that I should develop

a hunger for success?

Yes.

I want you to find within yourself,

within every fiber of your being,

that hunger to succeed.

What's so funny?

Is it funny?

Amongst those seated here,

only Wu Yue has intense drive.

Boldness.

Strategy.

Critical analysis.

Perseverance beyond imagination.

However,

that is also your greatest flaw.

What is entrepreneurship?

What is entrepreneurship?

Entrepreneurship

is not a solo endeavor.

And definitely not one person being the hero.

It's about working as a team.

Depending and relying on each other

and struggling forward.

You will never understand

the struggles of being an entrepreneur

if you cannot do this.

Finally, Ah Gui.

Your weakness is that

you can't tell right from wrong and you're too kind.

That's not true.

You joined the competition on a whim.

Absolutely unprincipled.

You join as you please

and leave as you please.

Regarding Feng Zheng Zheng,

you had no sense of right or wrong.

As for the tussle with Chai Qing,

you acted without thinking it through.

You...

are a ticking time bomb.

If your business fails,

I'd be concerned that you'd act rashly.

I'm just a heroine.

Not as scary as you're making it sound.

Heroine Su.

You're not that much of a heroine.

All right,

some insider information.

This season of Mad Geek

will be unconventional.

If you don't prepare well,

you'll suffer.

Finally,

and most importantly.

Survive until the end.

Come on.

Survive until the end.

Thanks for today.

For being used by me once again.

You're welcome.

To quote Du Yue Sheng,

Shanghai Bund's notorious gangster,

"Don't be afraid to be used by others.

They're using you because

you are still useful."

You're

nothing like a gangster.

Come on.

I've always

thought of myself

as a gangster.

If you say that,

what should I do now?

Help me pass this to her.

To my Goddess.

Why don't you do it yourself?

No, no.

If I go up now

and bump into her,

won't it look like

I can't decide whose side I'm on?

You can always change sides.

Just say

you knew that Su Xiao Man was going home.

You were afraid she'll become violent,

so you specially

came to protect Goddess Chai.

Okay, I have to go.

I'll head up first.

Bye.

Do you think

that you're being

a little unfair to Wu Yue?

Is he my bro?

Then

is it being

unfair to Goddess Chai?

Is she my girlfriend?

In any case,

I'm being the fairest to you.

Now,

you have a chance with Chai Qing.

That's none of your business.

Even if she becomes your girlfriend,

I'll still go after her if I have to.

Bro.

Your sense of logic

has got to go.

You're allergic to mango.

Because of that,

I neither bought nor ate mangoes for four years.

I'll eat my fill now!

I'll make your mouth water!

(All the best!)

Why are you here?

Drinking alone

gets you drunk easily.

I'm sure you know

about what happened today.

Goddess.

I...

Goddess?

A goddess would never hit someone.

Actually,

fighting isn't a bad thing,

right?

It's all over.

Who said so?

I will always be with you.

I...

I don't like you at all!

Stop following me.

Can we

have the camera crew leave for a while?

So that we can talk?

You can go out.

Regarding Feng Zheng Zheng,

the matter

was resolved peacefully and amicably

by both parties.

Both parties were satisfied

with the outcome.

This is just a small matter.

I don't think there's a need to report this.

This outcome

clearly favors the male party.

How can this be

a satisfactory outcome?

The female party's mental state

is unsuitable for work.

Her parents

are aware of this

and understand.

They're worried about their daughter.

Especially since there may be business trips.

So the ones who proposed

that she leave the job

were Feng Zheng Zheng's parents.

It's their beloved daughter.

Maybe her parents

don't have much working experience

or legal experience.

They don't know how to

protect themselves.

This is the fact of the matter.

If you don't have any other questions,

please leave.

Since your company

insists that you have acted fairly,

then I don't think

that you'll be afraid

if we report the facts?

If you insist on asking more questions,

I'll let our marketing team know

and you can talk with them.

I'd be very grateful.

What do you think they want to ask?

Questions about Qian Da again?

Did something happen

to your tender team?

What's there to report about tendering?

Stop doing that.

Your algorithms won't help you.

Xiao Man,

you know it's difficult for me too.

Please forgive me for

drawing boundaries from time to time.

Sure.

Let me be a helpful algorithm.

You should sit here

with a look of despair.

Where are you going?

To take a walk.

I'll go too!

Don't go too far!

We still have things

to discuss for the...

competition.

I used to

try really hard

to make you and Chai Qing an item.

But in hindsight,

you two aren't very compatible.

Chai Qing told me all about it after.

Nothing actually happened that night.

Why did she have to?

No sense of security maybe?

If I said I felt sorry for her,

if she found out I felt that way,

she'll definitely get angry

and slap me on both sides.

I actually forgave her immediately.

Because I'm like her.

We're just looking for a sense of security

in our own way.

It's just that

her methods are a bit more extreme.

Xiao Man, I...

Don't be so nice to me.

I'm afraid

you'll be disappointed.

(Books & Flowers Cafe)

What's wrong?

Missing the time

when you were working here?

But it seems like

I'm the only one who misses it.

Why so cryptic?

What's going on between you and Wu Yue?

Well...

Absolutely nothing.

Wu Yue is like

coffee powder

and you are water.

You two look like a perfect match,

but in reality,

you'll make a cup of black coffee,

fragrant but bitter.

It's not something that everyone can appreciate.

But Lin Shao is different.

He's like chocolate powder.

After adding water,

fragrant and delicious, loved by all.

If that's the case,

how will you choose?

You guys can keep making fun of me.

Who's making fun of you?

That boy is simple.

Dating him would be

relaxing and enjoyable.

So

are you two

betraying Wu Yue now?

After all,

you have both been his bosses.

Aren't you letting him down?

Just that saying.
