Why would you want

someone incapable, irresponsible,

cowardly, and indecisive

to be the chairperson?

What is the point

of you investing in the company then?

You're right.

This is

a risky investment.

You're no better than Wu Yue

in any of the aspects I mentioned.

But...

You have a good quality

that Wu Yue doesn't have.

Kindness.

Why do I feel like

you're actually insulting me?

Even though

you still haven't

forgiven your father,

but for his sake,

you were willing to stand up

and do everything to save him.

You don't have many feelings

for Qian Da,

but you were willing

to plead with your father

for your friends' sake.

You loved Su Xiao Man,

so you were willing

to step out

so that she could be happy.

Responsibility,

capability,

and courage.

These are all traits you can build up.

But kindness is innate.

I wish

that the company I invest in the future

would have

a kind, honorable and just

chairperson who has a responsibility to society.

Not a person

who sees only profits and gains,

and would do anything for those.

Like me.

Mr. Xu...

I... I don't know what to say.

That's all right.

If you have anything to say,

go back and tell your father.

Lao Xu wants you

to become the chairperson?

Why?

Can't I be better than you?

All right.

Qin Ling took me down.

And you took him down.

You're stronger than both of us,

aren't you?

Of course.

Your time is up.

Shao Ting,

I...

Don't tell me those mushy words.

I don't want to hear them.

If you have the time to think about those...

You better think about how to perform well instead.

Try to reduce your sentence by a year or two.

Okay.

Remember.

When you get out,

the first thing you should do

is to apologize to my mom.

If she forgives you,

we'll have a meal together.

Bring Xiao Man along.

I think...

she's a wonderful girl.

That's none of your business.

Mr. Lin!

Please get in the car.

You sure know

how to act pragmatically and flatter someone, don't you?

How are things between you

and your Goddess Chai?

We just had dinner together last night.

I wanted to get some advice from you, Mr. Lin.

Don't bother.

I'm a lonely man

right now.

It's just temporary, Mr. Lin.

It's just a matter of time

before you'll get back to the top of your life again.

Right?

Come on. Tell me what you want.

Come with me to a place, Mr. Lin.

Where?

Our usual spot.

Come on. Get in the car.

They're here.

Get ready!

(Congratulations on being appointed as the chairperson, Lin Shao!)

Congratulations on becoming the chairperson, Lin Shao!

And reaching the top of your life!

I'm just a lone commander.

Is this all necessary?

Lin Shao is here.

He has come to bless our cafe with his presence.

We are honored and humbled to have you here.

You can't call him Lin Shao now.

You have to address him as Mr. Lin now.

Mr. Lin, you wouldn't mind

our poor, little run-down cafe, right?

Oh, when I think about

that I used to be

the superior of Qian Da's chairperson,

I feel somewhat guilty.

Mr. Lin,

you won't try to "suppress" me to get your revenge in the future, would you?

Oh, right.

You didn't know Edward came back,

did you?

He stayed up all night last night

to bake you a cake.

Come on. Let's take a look at the cake.

Time for cake!

What a bunch of goofs.

I can't believe that Mai Qi

gets married so soon.

Life is unfair.

Mind your words.

I've already asked Wu Yue

to be my best man.

Hey, why didn't you mention this sooner?

I want to be the bridesmaid!

Do you need a second-best man?

I'll be the third.

I'll be your second bridesmaid.

Do you guys think

you're buying vegetables at a market or something?

I suppose our cafe

is where Wu Yue and Su Xiao Man

bonded.

Without you guys,

me and Mai Qi

wouldn't be where we are today.

So I think...

Having you guys

be our best man and bridesmaid

would be

for us to have a good start and an end too.

Besides this,

I have another good news

to announce.

What could be more important

than Lin Shao

becoming the chairperson?

That is...

I hereby announce

that the Xiao Que Xing app production team

has officially been revived!

And

we'll be welcoming

a new member to join us.

Our marketing manager,

Goddess Chai!

Mr. Lin,

I wonder if our little app

could catch your interest?

Although we wanted

to have Mr. Lin

invest

a couple of millions in our app at first,

after giving it some thought,

we decided not to.

Otherwise,

Mr. Lin will be

on the news again tomorrow.

"History repeats itself."

"Qian Da's newly appointed chairperson

acts imprudently

despite only recently taking up his position."

That might be the case,

but...

Thank you for the funds, Mr. Lin.

We are just the slightest bit

grateful and happy about that.

No. I just

got appointed as the new chairperson.

I can't simply use the company funds.

Otherwise,

I'll be accused of misappropriating funds.

Those shareholders

would probably object too.

Speaking of which,

have you guys

decided on your workplace location yet?

We just "revived".

How could we already have a place?

I can help you guys rent a place.

Didn't you just say

that you couldn't give us the funds directly?

Well, I can't use the company's funds.

But I can sponsor you guys with my personal funds.

I still have the money from selling off the car, don't I?

How much

could you get from that car?

Besides,

Mr. Cheng returned that car to you,

didn't he?

I don't just have one car.

I had a Porsche too.

It's fine if you sell off the Porsche.

But that modified car

means so much to you.

Are you sure...

I already found my mom.

Who cares about the car?

I'll just use Lao Liang's

old commercial vehicle from now on.

That's pretty good too.

I guess you're becoming a businessman.

You'll be a domineering chairperson too.

I wonder if Mr. Lin

would still be willing

to join our little team.

But of course.

Would I let all my efforts go to waste?

Do you think I wrote all those codes for nothing?

Hooray for Mr. Lin!

- Hooray! - Hooray!

I have to declare something.

From now on,

if anyone of you calls me Mr. Lin,

I'll take off ten thousand from the sponsorship.

Lin Shao. Lin Shao.

Since our team has officially been "revived",

should we find a place

to celebrate?

Of course!

We're going to do

what we promised!

(Xiao Que Xing, for Charity)

I just gave Lin Shao a call.

He said he had something going on, so he won't be able to join us.

He is the chairperson now.

He wouldn't have time for this.

Well, there is, of course,

the possibility that he's hanging out with girls right now.

You're describing

your own dreams, right?

My dream

is right here!

You guys look happy.

What are you guys talking about?

They're showing off their love!

And we were complaining about Lin Shao.

And saying we have too much time on our hands.

We don't have much time at all.

Of course.

We said we were going to celebrate.

But our company's

first event

ended up to be doing charity.

It's kind of unbelievable.

Well, it's nice to do charity.

Just think of it as a vacation.

Well, back then, doing charity

meant attending galas

and charity events.

But this time,

we're all on a road trip to the rural countryside.

All right.

Let's get these things onto the car.

Perhaps,

for these kids here in the countryside,

a smooth, paved road

might be better

than any other donations we could give.

You're right.

When Xiao Que Xing takes off in the future,

we'll build

a super smooth

and unimpeded road for them.

We'll build a road that connects

all the rural mountain areas.

(Xiao Que Xing, for Charity)

Oh, the box!

Wu Yue!

Let the box go!

Don't!

Wu Yue!

Slow down, Wu Yue!

Wu Yue, come back!

Wu Yue!

Be careful.

Do you feel cold?

I said to let the box go!

Why did you jump into the water?

I'm fine.

Come on.

Do you still feel cold right now?

We should have

just had it delivered via courier.

It's not the gift that counts,

but the thought behind it.

Delivering it yourself

and sending it via courier

is not the same.

Sorry.

I didn't plan this through.

I caused you guys to suffer too.

Zheng Zheng?

I made ginger soup for everyone.

Everyone gets a bowl.

Don't mind if the taste isn't good.

Where's Ms. Shi?

Ms. Shi went into town.

I'm a teacher here right now too.

Why did you decide

to become a teacher at this school?

I'll do it.

At first,

I did it to get away from things, of course.

Then, gradually,

I grew to love this place.

Zheng Zheng.

I'm sorry.

You were the same, weren't you?

Indeed.

Who hasn't

fallen in love

with a wrong person once in life?

I acted too rashly

at the time.

I'm sorry.

Well, everyone has moments like that in their youth.

Besides, everyone in this world

has a temper.

It's all in the past now.

You have a very high temperature.

Are you going to "explode"?

This won't do.

He should lie down in my dormitory.

There's an electric heater inside.

Let's go then.

Careful.

I'll carry you.

No. It's fine.

I can walk by myself.

Are you going to make Xiao Man

carry you instead?

I'll do it then.

Come on.

Xiao Man.

Check and see if his pressure is high.

I think

popcorn is about to pop out of him.

You're still joking at a time like this?

Be careful.

Careful now.

Slowly now.

What should we do?

Goddess Chai and Feng Zheng Zheng

went to look for a doctor.

Help me find an ice pack then.

Okay.

You're burning up.

I'll be fine.

I'm a grown man.

I'll be better

after I drink some ginger soup and sweat it out.

What are you smiling about?

You're already in such a state.

You're not having a dying flash, are you?

I remember

I read a post once.

It said

(Which area to massage to treat a cold) massaging techniques

could help cool down a baby's temperature.

A baby?

Mhm.

Have you ever seen such a big and manly baby?

All humans have the same acupuncture points.

We're desperate. We might as well give it a try.

(Hegu Point, LI4) Got it. It's this point here.

Give me your hand.

Are we there yet?

Where are you taking me?

Are we there yet?

All right. We're here.

Country Girl.

Let me show you around.

You...

It...

You moved all of them here too.

This place

will be

my dears' new home from now on.

I had to move them to a new place somehow.

Not only were they suffering

at Zhang Jiang's place,

but we can't afford to lower our standard of living too.

Then... What about your villa?

You didn't sell it off, too, did you?

I rented it out.

It's just me.

Why would I need to stay in a house that big?

I'd rather stay

with Zhang Jiang and play games with him.

Lin Shao

gave me a few sets of equipment,

upgraded my stereo,

my monitor...

Oh, and my game console.

Anyway,

from now on,

this

will be Xiao Que Xing's main base.

I hope

we can create

a freer, more personalized,

and more Lin Shao-nized company together.

You set this place up pretty nicely.

Thanks, Lin Shao.

Anyway,

I won't be designing codes from now on.

Xiao Que Xing's future

will depend on you guys.

As for me...

I'll be sitting

in my air-conditioned office

and supervising you guys from afar.

All right, Lin Shao.

You just wait to receive the dividends.

What do you think?

We have our own office now.

And

it's a super nice office.

We're no longer

a shell company

that gets kicked around by others anymore.

Sister Mai Qi

interviewed some people a few days ago.

She said there was a young lady

who was good with UIs.

Take a look at her resume later.

Edward promised

he would help to advertise us as well.

I met a few

potential investors as well.

We'll arrange

to meet them when the time comes.

We're finally on the right track.

All right. Let's get to work.

Let's make the most of our time

and develop our product.

We can't let Lin Shao's money go to waste.

If we're going to do it, we ought to do it well.

Let's build something amazing!

Xiao Wu.

Yes?

I have

an urgent task for you.

We need you to go out for it right away.

To where?

One of the servers in the banks in a nearby county

is down.

If we don't fix it as soon as possible,

there will be

serious consequences.

Your mentor already went back.

So I can only send you.

Because you are the second most skilled

in our group.

I'm counting on you.

Okay.

Besides you,

the other directors and supervisors

are heading there as well.

You know

the rules of our company's maintenance service.

We'll be there

within 24 hours.

But given the weather,

I think it must be hard to take a flight.

You're right.

There are no flight tickets left.

And with the heavy fog,

there are many flights

that are still waiting to take off.

I'm afraid you'll have

to go by couch.

It'll be...

a bit tougher.

Not at all.

I heard

your wife is due to give birth soon.

Make sure you get her settled in first.

OK.

Don't worry.

(Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp) When Aladdin came back,

he realized the girl and his wife

had both disappeared.

The God of Swords said,

"I can't interfere with the Genie's matters."

"But I can try to come up with an idea."

Right. So he went looking for his wife.

Hello?

Okay. I'll be there right away.

Tian Tian, I have something urgent to attend to right now.

Be good and stay at home.

Look for the landlady if there's anything,

all right?

Sorry! I'm sorry!

Be careful.

The tickets are all sold out.

How could that be?

I waited in line for so long!

We don't have any more tickets.

Next.

Don't!

I'm really in a rush here.

Is there any other way?

Well, there is another option.

You can take the late-night bus.

Next.

I'll take it!

Scan here.

(Suzhou Emergency Center)

Sorry for calling you all the way here,

Wu Yue.

Who else are you going to call?

Oh, right. Where is Zhi Xiong?

A bank's servers broke down.

He was sent to fix it.

I'll tell him to come back right now.

No, don't.

I don't want him to come back.

He finally had a chance

to show his skills.

I don't want to distract him.

(Emergency Room)

How is it?

How is A Ling?

She just went in.

(EMERGENCY DEPT)

How is she, Doctor?

The patient is bleeding profusely

due to placenta previa.

She is in urgent need of a massive blood transfusion.

But it'll take some time for the blood bank to deliver the blood.

I'm afraid we don't have enough

in our blood reserves here.

What can we do then?

Is there anyone who has the same blood type

as the patient, AB blood type,

and is willing to donate blood?

I am!

No,

you just caught a cold.

Would your body be able to handle it?

Don't worry.

I'll do it, Doctor.

Then come with me.

You guys shall wait outside the operating room.

(OPERATION)

Both the adult and the baby

are out of danger.

But your friend

lost a lot of blood during the transfusion.

He'll need lots of rest.

How do you feel?

Do you feel dizzy? Or does your head hurt?

Any numbness in the head

or vascular pain?

Or are you feeling hungry?

I can donate blood too.

I looked it up online just now.

Damage to blood vessels

caused by massive blood donation

is irreparable for life.

And you might get addicted to blood donation,

leading to increased appetite and weight gain.

After donating blood,

the lack of blood in your body

will leave the brain in an oxygen-poor state.

In this case, the body will secrete

an acidic component

causing...

You sound like you know more than I do.

Don't worry.

This young man's body is as healthy as ever.

Silly.

You left such an important patient unattended.

(IN-PATIENT)

Mind your leg.

Over here.

You're just going to leave her here?

How could you do this?

How could you just leave the patient

in the corridor?

Haven't I explained it to you earlier?

We don't have any free beds right now.

What else would you have me do?

Then, I...

The patient lost a lot of blood.

How can she stay in the corridor

where everyone walks around frequently?

Don't worry.

I'll be safe as long as I'm in the hospital.

At least I'm lying down right now.

It's just a bed.

No way.

They're bullying you!

We have to reason

with them!

Miss,

please.

At least give her a bed in the ward

so that she can rest well for the night.

There are no more beds.

Please stay here

and rest well.

Mom?

Could you get two live chickens, chop them up,

and boil two pots of soup?

Right. Put some

Chinese angelica,

Chinese wolfberry fruits

and red dates.

Anything that helps replenish blood.

Put all of them into the soup.

What do you mean it's the middle of the night?

Yes. Right now.

Okay. Bye.

Heroine,

it's already this late.

Where is Aunty

going to find live chickens at this hour?

What else are we going to do then?

Wu Yue.

You'll have a lot on your hands in the future.

Hello, I'd like some boiled eggs.

Sorry.

We only have tea eggs.

But I just want some boiled eggs.

How about this?

How many eggs do you have right now?

I'll buy all of them.

Get rid of this pot of tea eggs

and boil those eggs for me.

I'm sorry.

But we really don't have those here.

But I need these eggs to save lives.

Please.

Miss, please help her out.

She won't give up

until she gets her boiled eggs.

We just restocked today.

We have over a hundred eggs in there.

We can't possibly do that.

Then, could you please boil a pot of eggs for me?

And turn the rest into cash.

And...

exchange them for other products, that'll work, right?

Don't just stand there. Please hurry up and boil the eggs!

Thank you.

Lin Shao.

Do you know...

Do you know anyone in the hospital?

Help us find a bed in a ward.

(The bus bound for Hui County)

(is at the station.)

(All passengers, please head to the ticket gate.)

(The bus bound for Hui County)

(is at the station.)

(All passengers, please head to the ticket gate.)

Look.

This stupid computer is hanging again.

It's the third time this has happened today.

(Brain Data, Zhang Jiang) Exactly.

The technician

said it was fine last time.

These are all problems, aren't they?

Right.

If...

If you don't mind,

I can check it out for you.

I'm a technician

from Brain Data.

Your hospital

is our company's client.

You guys bought our system.

It'll be a piece of cake

for me to help you guys check it out.

All right. Come inside.

Here.

Stop!

I'm telling you,

you're not allowed to mess around with the computer.

Everything inside is confidential data,

got it?

If I really wanted to dig around,

how would you guys even notice?

What did you say?

Lower.

Lower!

Get up!

Crouch!

Crouch.

Can you see that over there?

Over there.

There's a security camera.

Make sure you don't get caught on it.

Why do I have to sneak around

while I'm trying to do a good deed?

Shush!

A Ling,

I bought you some eggs.

Here, have an egg!

I don't feel like eating it.

No?

Oh, I haven't peeled off the shell.

Hang on.

I'm telling you,

with your condition right now,

you should eat more eggs.

They are good for your body.

I really don't have an appetite.

If you don't have an appetite,

then just have a few bites.

You really don't feel like eating?

Don't worry.

My mom

will be bringing the chicken soup over soon.

You can just drink more of the soup later.

Sit here and peel the eggs for her.

Wu Yue, come here.

You have to eat something even if you don't feel like it right now.

Sorry to trouble you guys.

It's all right.

(Recent Calls)

(A Ling)

I'm telling you,

you should eat more eggs.

Eggs are good

for replenishing blood.

I had them boil a lot of eggs.

Have another one.

Eat more eggs.

Hold that.

Can I not eat any more eggs, please?

Even if my appetite is good,

I won't be able to eat four eggs at once.

Stop spouting nonsense.

I mean...

You've never donated

so much blood once either.

I've never been

a brighter light bulb.

You've got some skills, huh?

The patient in Room 28 requires assistance.

Let's go!

What's the matter?

How are you doing?

Nurse! Hurry!

Hurry!

Call the doctor! I'm about to go into labor!

Hang on!

Hurry! I think I...

We have to move her into the operating room!

Get the portable bed over here right now!

Have you called the doctor?

I've called him. He's on his way.

All right.

Hang in there. The doctor will be here soon!

The doctor is here!

Please check her condition.

Get her ready for the operation.

All right.

Where is that male nurse?

I don't know.

I haven't seen him since this afternoon.

Did he take the night off?

What are we going to do now?

She's a mother of twins. She's heavy...

I can't get her up.

Careful.

I'll help!

You?

Are you sure?

Don't worry.

My mom's a doctor.

I do have some medical knowledge.

And strength!

Oh, sorry.

It's all right.

Sorry.

Xiao Man.

Mom, you're finally here.

I prepared the chicken soup you wanted.

Wait.

I spent a lot of effort

to prepare the soup.

At least tell me who it's for.

I'll tell you later. I've got a life to save.

I'll go ahead first.

What are you smiling about?

Nothing.

It'll be my turn soon.

Dream on.

What did you do?

Oh.

He...

went to help someone deliver a baby.

What? You can do that?

I'm not married yet.

Isn't this moving a bit too fast?

Not at all.

Who knows?

You might be married next year.

Su Xiao Man.

You're getting sharper with your words.
