People are variables.

Its parameters are constantly changed

adjusted over time.

Carry on.

What if I told you

that I had optimized

our algorithm?

By optimizing

the prediction function and evaluation method,

we'll be able to improve the accuracy of the model.

We'll optimize the algorithm

for the data cleaning module,

and reduce data noise,

thereby improving its accuracy.

I think I read this somewhere

in the weekly magazine before.

You mean

a gradient-based meta-learning algorithm?

That's right.

So all we have to do

is improve deep learning,

and build a more accurate model through training

to make recommendations to our users.

Oh, Genius Xiao Man!

You have bestowed me

the courage to live on!

Let's get to work then.

You're gross.

Goodness.

It's so dark in here, and you guys won't even turn on the lights?

Oh, you're here.

Come on. Dinner's here.

What did you get us?

My goodness. It's a mess around here.

Mom.

How have you been lately?

Okay.

All right. That's it for now, then. Bye.

What?

Do you have good news from Aunty Lin?

Come with me to buy breakfast.

I might have to go to the US

and spend some time there.

My mom is ready to be discharged from the hospital.

That's good news.

Congratulations to Aunty.

And to you as well.

I may spend a bit more time

in the US.

I'll go to

some scenic places with her

for her to get some good rest.

What?

Are you worried that Aunty Lin

isn't ready

to see Uncle Liang yet?

Well, one needs time to prepare.

That's right.

Time...

is the best cure.

What about you then?

Me?

Do you need time?

I've already gotten out of it.

Look.

My entire heart

and mind are focused on my work now.

Dine-in or take away?

Take away.

We'll eat here.

We'll have our breakfast here

and get some takeaway for them.

All right. Number 27, takeaway!

Xiao Man.

Actually...

I wanted to invite you to come with me

to the US.

Su Xiao Man.

I like you.

Since you've decided

to stand up again and rejoin this battle...

Then...

Can I be your main hero in this new battle?

Or...

You could come with me to the US to get away from things.

I can give you more time

to think about it and make your decision.

Boss,

is our takeaway order ready?

It's ready. Coming right up.

Thank you.

Let's go back then.

They're still hungry.

What took you guys so long?

I almost starved to death.

I think

food won't help your brain to think.

Maybe you shouldn't eat this.

Don't you think Xiao Man

is in a worse state than before?

Is she?

I think

she seems quite normal.

How so?

She either appears hyperactive

to the point where she doesn't eat or sleep at all

and spends all day on her computer,

or she spends all day sleeping.

And you can't even get her up no matter what.

And whenever

I try to nag or talk to her,

she just has a blank look on her face.

This is how we are

in our line of work.

We always burn ourselves.

Well, what if you burned yourself out?

I just brought that up as an example.

You know it as well.

The matter

about that Xiao Xing Fu app recently...

I know it.

A lot of people are using it.

I downloaded it too.

Why do I feel like

this Xiao Xing Fu

is about the same as Xiao Man's

Xiao Que Xing?

Well, it's most likely

that someone

plagiarized their app.

And she was affected by it.

I'm telling you,

this is what it's like in this industry.

There is no mercy.

Seriously. It's cruel and heartless.

Letting them get hurt along the way

and learn a lesson

is not necessarily a bad thing.

Let the kids handle

their own problems.

It's not like you don't know your own daughter well.

She wouldn't be defeated

by something like work.

Didn't you say so last time?

Only matters concerning Wu Yue

would be able to affect her.

Don't you think so?

Recently, she has been coming home

alone.

Either that, or it's Xiao Jia who accompanies her back.

Wu Yue...

hasn't appeared in a long time.

How about this?

Tomorrow,

you'll prepare a few dishes.

And we'll have her

invite Wu Yue over.

Why do I think

these two matters

are connected somehow?

How could that be?

Why would you think that?

A gut feeling.

Mom, Dad, I'm home.

Oh, you're home, Xiao Man.

Oh, I hear Big Su

call me "Dad".

Well, that's rare.

Xiao Man.

I bought a lot of ingredients.

I'm going

to prepare a feast to treat you.

Remember to tell Wu Yue to come over for a meal,

all right?

What do you mean by "mm"?

Did you hear what I said?

Did you see that?

Expressionless.

I've told you many times, haven't I?

Don't interfere with the children's matters,

alright?

Ms. Tan,

your knife skills are getting better and better.

Thank you.

Why hasn't Su Xiao Man come down yet?

You ought to wake her up.

It's already this late.

Big Su!

Big Su!

It's time to wake up!

Oh, you lazy head.

Little Su...

Look at my dark circles.

Seriously.

Well, who else could you blame?

Who told you to stay up late

and sleep in?

You're dressed like this?

How are you going to greet the guest

when he comes?

What guest?

Did you not invite him?

Who?

Ms. Tan.

I'm afraid we've spent all morning

being busy in the kitchen for nothing.

She didn't invite him!

Didn't we tell you to invite Wu Yue

over for a meal today?

That's right.

You agreed yesterday.

I already prepared all the dishes!

Me?

Who could that be?

It must be a parcel.

Go and open the door.

What's the matter

with you, child?

Uncle.

You...

I...

Come in. Come in.

Aunty.

Thank you for inviting me.

These flowers are for you.

Thank you.

You're so kind.

I texted you last night?

Who else?

Then...

Why are you late?

I went to queue up

to buy some delicious treats for you.

Then, have a seat.

Well, make yourself at home.

- Sit. Sit. - Have a seat.

You sent him a message?

What did you find?

This expert of yours

is indeed incredible.

The method they used was actually very simple.

We were just looking in the wrong direction from the start.

What do you mean?

I have checked a few of Xing Han Games'

shareholders.

(Brain Data, ST Hua Diao Wine) All of them invested

(Zhong Fu Information, Mass Data) in different companies.

They don't have much in similarity

besides investing in Xing Han Games.

But I found a common denominator

among all these companies.

Each of them has at least one company

under their belt

that has done business with Brain Data.

Some on software projects and others on hardware projects.

All different sorts.

Xing Han Games

may be a gaming company,

but they are closely intertwined

with internet companies.

They share many similar

software and hardware components.

Even more so in terms of data.

Ren Qian Qiu especially selected this company

to put us

in a blind spot.

And to divert our attention.

We don't have any evidence right now,

but we can

be sure

that Ren Qian Qiu

must have something to do with the entire matter.

Among these shareholders,

there must be at least one of them

who is holding onto Ren Qian Qiu's shares

for him.

Or maybe even all of them.

That's entirely possible too.

What do you

plan to do next?

Why don't I

find a way to lure Ren Qian Qiu out?

Then, you can confront him face-to-face.

No.

In order to deal with Ren Qian Qiu once and for all...

We have to do it in public.

Otherwise, he'll have tens of thousands of ways

to lie his way out of it.

Let's not startle him yet.

In public?

That won't be easy.

He definitely won't make an appearance

in public that easily now.

I have a plan.

But...

I would still need

to see my senior first.

Have some more.

Are you done?

Oh, yes.

Well, if you're done,

you guys can go and have a seat over there.

I'll clean up.

Okay.

- Xiao Jia. - Thank you.

It's rare for you to come by.

Why don't you join me for some piano practice?

Let's exercise our fingers for a bit, okay?

I've practiced

"12 Variations of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" many times.

What a coincidence.

I had wanted to ask you to give me some guidance on it,

Aunty.

Perfect.

Come on.

Xiao Jia.

You've made so much progress in such a short time.

You are a talented child indeed.

Thank you, Aunty.

Mom.

Didn't you always say

you wanted to host a concert?

My friend, Mai Qi,

is about to get married.

Why don't

you perform at her wedding ceremony?

Because...

I'm about to go to the US with your Xiao Jia

and spend some time there.

Wouldn't it be nice

to perform it as a farewell concert

for us?

Really?

Are you really willing to go with me?

Aunty!

Thank you so much, Aunty!

You're welcome.

I can't thank you enough!

Have a seat over there.

Go on.

I'll get you guys some tea.

- Okay! - Go on.

Have a seat.

That's good then.

I've analyzed

the Java Script.

some of the sub-codes,

but the main parts

are pretty much exactly the same.

(Xiao Xing Fu, To meet a better you)

Well, you're quite chilled and relaxed.

Knowing the enemy and myself

makes me win the battle.

How is it?

How is the copycat?

Well...

Do you think

Ren Qian Qiu would attend the Venture Capital Conference for sure?

I'm not sure either.

But since Mr. Xu

gave me that invitation,

he must have been sure of it.

Not the mention...

We've already come this far.

We don't have any other choice.

How sure are you?

50-50, I guess.

The police are still looking all over the place for you.

If you show up at the conference,

the police will definitely find you

the minute it ends.

If you aren't able

to take Ren Qian Qiu down by then...

With consequences of you evading the police,

and that Ren Qian Qiu planted the evidence against you...

You might be done

for good this time.

I will win.

No.

I must win.

For me.

For you.

For Tian Tian.

And...

For Xiao Man.

I must win.

I believe you can do it.

If...

I'll leave

Tian Tian to you again.

What nonsense are you talking about?

I think of Tian Tian

as my own little brother.

(Conference Center)

Hello.

I'm here to attend the conference

on my teacher, Xu Shu Yi's behalf.

He is away in a different state right now.

Hello.

Mr. Shu Yi had informed us of that.

Please come with me.

Mr. Ren is a capable and accomplished young man.

Indeed.

You flattered me.

I hope you will like

(CONFERENCE CENTER) our app.

All right. We will consider it.

Mr. Wu.

This way, please.

Mr. Ren, we'll head inside first.

All right. I'll see you later.

Mr. Ren?

What's the matter?

Nothing.

From today on,

You are about

to become a winner in life again.

I'll congratulate you in advance as well then.

For becoming the company's deputy general manager.

Let's go.

Mr. Song.

This is

Mr. Xu Shu Yi's student.

He is here to attend the event today

on behalf of Mr. Xu.

Mr. Xu has arranged for him

to wait in the lounge.

Hello, Mr. Song.

What's your name?

Wu Yue.

Have a seat.

Wu Yue.

Where is your teacher

off to today?

The majority of the people

here today came for him.

Mr. Xu had an emergency to attend to in another state today.

He called me in all of a sudden as well.

The Venture Capital Conference

today is an important one.

Oh, Lao Xu...

He is foolish indeed.

Oh, right.

Have you read this pamphlet?

It's on the project that's going to be presented today.

Take a good look at it.

I only looked through a few pages briefly.

I think

one of those projects

is worth investing in.

Oh, right.

Have you downloaded

the Xiao Xing Fu app yet?

It's all kids' stuff.

I'm not interested in it.

(APP DATA ANALYSIS) However, I wonder...

if your teacher

would invest in it

if he were here.

In a kids' app like this.

(The Third Venture Capital Conference) (DEEP MIND)

Please rest assured.

We will not be taking part

in this project.

Please invest in it as you like.

And you can decide that?

I can.

Xiao Man.

Are you sure about this?

Mom.

Why are you so worried?

It's not my first time going abroad.

I'll only be gone for a little while.

I'll be back in no time.

That's not what I'm talking about.

Mom.

I'm fine.

I'm really fine.

All right.

Mom.

Uncle.

Aunty.

Brat.

I'll leave my Big Su

in your hands.

I won't let you down.

Xiao Man,

let's go.

Don't forget about your Little Su.

Go on.

Let's go.

All right.

Welcome, dear guests and experts.

Good morning.

Welcome

to the Third Venture Capital Conference.

(The Third Venture Capital Conference)

Now, let us invite

the manager of Xing Han Games,

Ms. Shan Hu, to the front.

Dear...

Hello, dear experts. Ladies and gentlemen.

Today,

on behalf of Xing Han Games,

I would like to present to you

our latest app,

Xiao Xing Fu.

Xiao Xing Fu's

primary functions are...

We all know

about the app's functions.

There is no need for you

to restate what can be seen.

I am Mr. Xu Shu Yi's representative.

I have come here today

because I have

a few questions

for Ms. Shan Hu.

That's enough.

Don't cause trouble.

This is everyone's time you're using.

It's not your personal question-and-answer session.

The questions I raise

are no doubt everyone else's as well.

Everything that is shown

on the slides

is nothing but grandstanding nonsense.

Why should we waste our time

and listen to it again?

All right.

Then go ahead

and ask your questions.

Ms. Shan Hu.

May I ask

what role did you play

in the development of the app?

I was the product manager.

Then,

is Xiao Xing Fu an original product

of your company's?

Of course, it is.

What was the exact date

you began the R&D project?

What?

Does the product manager

not even know when the project started?

Half a year ago.

Was it before or after

the Mad Geek was aired?

Before.

That's enough.

If all you're going to do

is ask such meaningless questions,

then there is no need for you to continue.

When the Mad Geek was aired,

there was a team of contestants

who developed a social app

called Xiao Que Xing.

Did you know that?

They copied us.

It's all over the internet.

In what way did they copy your product?

They

copied our algorithm

and design.

And how did they do that?

Did they hack into your computers?

Or did they steal your servers?

If you had realized this,

why did you guys not sue them and defend your rights

when the program was aired?

Why did you allow Xiao Que Xing

to go through a small-scale test and evaluation

during the best-4-out-of-16 stage?

And...

When and where did your company

conduct the internal

and public evaluation for your app?

Ms. Shan Hu.

You were certain

Xiao Que Xing imitated your product.

You must have the evidence then.

Please show it to us.

No wonder Lao Xu wouldn't invest

in such an appealing project.

That's right.

It appears

there is some controversy regarding

this app's copyright.

Ms. Shan Hu.

I'll ask you again.

Please think carefully before you answer.

Is Xiao Xing Fu

an original product of your company's?

Thank you, everyone,

(Development of "Xiao Xing Fu" App) for your tremendous support

for Xiao Xing Fu.

However,

we are here today

for a venture capital conference.

Not for a counterfeit conference.

Xiao Xing Fu

is an app

that we at Xing Han Games have painstakingly developed.

It carries

all of our efforts and the labor of our hard work.

As for the news of a counterfeit

circulating in the market...

We will subsequently

initiate legal proceedings

to defend our rights.

If you are interested,

you may stay tuned and follow up on updates on the matter.

And this is...

Allow me to use this opportunity

to introduce myself as well.

I...

am the founder of Xiao Xing Fu,

Ren Qian Qiu.

I had originally not

wanted to make an appearance.

But I see

that our product manager

has received skepticism

from this expert.

So...

I had no choice but to step in.

Ren Qian Qiu.

How can I help you?

Since you admitted

that you are this app's

true founder,

then that means

you will have to be responsible

for every word you say and every action you do.

Yes.

That includes legal liability as well.

Of course.

But I have to remind you

that you will be liable

for your words and actions as well.

If you continue

making things difficult for us in a rude way,

I'll have my lawyer

sue you

for defamation.

Very well.

In that case,

I'd like to ask you,

- what you do... - I'll remind you again.

Words come at a price.

Please think twice before you act.

Time waits for no one.

I'm sure you know that better than I do.

True blue will never stain.

All of you might not know this.

But this man

used to be

Brain Data's employee.

I fired him

because he committed commercial theft.

And now he is standing there

and defaming Xiao Xing Fu.

He himself is the plagiarist.

What an eye-opener.

Can you prove

that it was your programmers

who wrote the code?

Of course.

We have never outsourced

our work to another party.

No.

You can't prove that.

On the contrary,

I can prove

that it was us who wrote the code.

You hadn't expected this, right?

The night before the incident,

I made a backup copy

of all the codes.

You really did come prepared.

Then I have to ask,

how did you

get a copy of our codes?

How would an outsider like me

have been able to do that?

Are you asking me that?

If I had known how you did it,

you would have been at the police station right now,

rather than trying to swindle everyone

with your lies and slanders here!

Mr. Ren.

I'll give you another chance.

Do you admit to plagiarizing our work?

I'll give you one last warning as well.

Stop talking nonsense and slandering us.

Very well.

Since you said

that you wrote the code,

did you know there was a bug

in the software?

There is no such thing

as a bug-free app in the world.

You smiled and talked to me of nothing

and I feel that

for this

I had been waiting for a long time.

What are you blabbering about?

The hard disk just now

was the first piece of evidence.

If there is anyone who has doubts,

we will verify it later.

Now, the next piece of evidence.
