(We're Already Acquaintances)

18-18. It's a tie.

Look.

This is what I meant.

Since two years ago,

his performance has become unstable

once his score reaches 18.

He can lose to anyone on the court.

Athletes can overcome injuries

and improve their skills.

But it's difficult to untie a knot in one's heart.

I've seen lots

of talented kids fail

because of this.

Two years ago

was when Jin Yi joined the team.

This is great.

Jin Yi is the one we want.

Look at his dominance on the field.

He carries the aura of a victor.

Doesn't he?

Yes.

Get his information from the coach.

The more detailed, the better.

I trust your eye.

If you think he is a good candidate,

discuss a long-term contract.

All right.

Remember. Time is of the essence.

No problem.

Use mine this time.

Now I know

why you have band-aids

in your bag.

I collect balls. You collect fun.

You don't need to do this.

No wonder you said

you didn't work in a cubicle.

So playing badminton is your job.

I get paid for playing.

How is it not a job?

How many years have you been playing?

I started when I was 10, so 12 years.

22 years old.

That does make you a bit old.

Tell me how old you are, then.

32.

You're good.

If you keep up your performance,

you'll definitely beat him.

Song Sanchuan.

Sorry.

I'll let you do your job.

I'll leave.

Down it in one.

I guarantee

you'll feel better.

(Down it in one.)

(I guarantee)

(you'll feel better.)

Please come again.

You came right before closing time again.

I'm about to close the shop.

I won't take long.

The new goods arrived.

Baby!

Baby!

Baby!

Mo, where's my Corgi?

The owner returned,

so they brought it back with them.

That Corgi was good-natured and clingy.

I only fed it twice.

Hello.

You must be new.

Miss,

if you liked it so much, why not get one yourself?

I can't even

guarantee I can feed myself

or where I'll be the next day.

I'm not qualified to keep a dog.

Can this Shih Tzu

eat this canned food?

Its name is Molly.

It's a glutton.

It loves that thing you're holding up.

So you're Molly? Hello.

Don't rush.

Be patient. Calm down. Be good.

Easy there.

Here. Not too much for you.

You're so small.

This feels so healing.

I can't have a dog,

but I can have a whole pile of them.

I'm not losing out.

All of them

are my batteries.

Batteries.

Mini batteries.

You're my mini battery.

Hello, I'm Liang You'an.

It's nice to meet you.

(That child on the other side is)

(Song Sanchuan.)

(He is)

(a gifted athlete.)

(Since two years ago,)

(his performance has become unstable)

(once his score reaches 18.)

(He can lose to anyone on the court.)

So you're basically saying

you want a monopoly.

I'll say this now.

If there can only be one wig shop

across the cancer hospital,

it's going to be Ancong Wig Shop.

How about this?

I'll leave you my business card.

If you change your mind,

you can call me at any time.

(Wu Lifang)

What does this mean?

Who is that?

That's the boss.

Well, there's no discussion about this.

Please show yourselves out.

I thought

I was the only one dumb enough to believe that.

It doesn't matter to me where she is

or if she's coming back.

But you, on the other hand,

you're a certified stringer

for the national team.

What?

Are you going to string wigs

for the rest of your life?

Well, my job isn't something to be ashamed of.

And I'm doing good deeds.

Let me have one…

Steamed dumplings.

Did you order this for me?

I ordered it for my son.

See?

Always a son who wants to be a dad.

Get me some vinegar.

All right.

You wanted to see me?

All right.

Notify them according to this list.

All right.

Chuan,

I told you to go to the provincial team competition

next month, but…

I know.

You changed the lineup.

Jin Yi told me.

Don't take it to heart.

Actually…

I don't mind.

I mean it.

Oh, it's a lot of work

talking to you.

What do you want to hear instead?

There are lots of people who know how to flatter you

on this team.

Don't put your hopes on me.

I saw your match

with Jin Yi yesterday.

You still haven't gotten over it.

You'll be turning 22

this year, right?

If you haven't made any results

by 22 as a professional athlete,

there isn't much hope

for your career anymore.

Your contract will be up

next year.

You know

there are only so many spots on the team.

I know.

I know how the team elimination works.

It's

the team round-robin tournament.

The one that comes out at the bottom leaves.

Doesn't it feel frustrating

to barely make it every time?

Well, it's an achievement to be able to make it, even if barely.

Don't worry.

If I come out last, I'll leave.

I won't cling.

I'll let you know something, too, then.

The new kid I recruited

will join the team training tomorrow.

His skills and condition

are on par

with you and Jin Yi back then.

If you continue

to take things easy,

be prepared for the consequences.

I don't usually compete.

I teach the kids

and make some extra money.

You started playing when you were around their age,

right?

Huang!

Mind the angle.

Okay.

Athletes are the ones

who have the most anxiety about their age.

Every day, you have younger and better athletes

joining the competition.

When someone enters, someone else leaves.

We call this

the two hurdles of life and death.

I went through your file.

From the junior category competitions

until the team,

your results have been outstanding.

My best record in the past two years is…

21 consecutive losses.

Only one thought crossed my mind.

"I suck.

Why am I still here?"

Did you consider leaving the court?

You can win if you enter the court.

Who wouldn't want to enter the court?

I lose every match, but I still want to enter the court.

Maybe I'm just that determined to win.

What do you think about Jin Yi?

You've seen it yourselves.

I can't win against him.

Look at this backhand net shot.

Your wrist should be like this.

One more time.

How's the scouting going?

The boss likes Jin Yi.

He is making me go through his file.

Isn't that good?

What's the problem?

Jin Yi is too good.

To me,

he doesn't fit the bill

for the typical underdog.

Why do you think

he still hasn't unleashed

his full potential

at his age?

He was injured.

He didn't have the best of luck.

Those are distinct reasons,

aren't they?

My current stage of work

is pretty easy.

I'm just helping my boss eliminate risks.

Of course, I know

that good professional athletes come

with all sorts of problems.

So I need to ensure

that the issue of the person

my boss chose is

within my control.

I think that's a good take

you have there.

In fact, Jin Yi doesn't have

any deal-breaking problems.

He is short-tempered at most.

Not the easiest to get along with.

But I think that depends

on the person, too,

doesn't it?

Jin Yi is

the one my boss chose.

But the one I can't get out of my mind

is Song Sanchuan.

Hello. Excuse me.

Your coffee. Please enjoy.

Of course, it's not him.

Jin Yi has excellent skills.

(Jin Yi's key achievements) He has strict expectations of himself

during his training as well.

20 years old.

If all goes well,

he should be producing results in two years.

Very good.

Have you discussed a contract yet?

The long-term underdog contract

you wanted

is a minimum of five years.

I want to make it eight or even ten.

So we will need to take

not only performance

but also discipline, character, and mental state

into consideration as well.

From what I've seen of Jin Yi so far,

I recommend extending his observation period.

We don't have that much time.

So many are eyeing

this potential rising star.

If you don't make a move now,

someone else's going to snatch him up.

We have to move fast, got it?

What's wrong?

Do you have reservations

about this candidate?

You saw through

my thoughts.

I want to reconsider

Jin Yi and Song Sanchuan.

Did Alex

recommend anyone else?

She made it very clear

that it wasn't Song Sanchuan.

Then why are you still hesitating?

Efficiently and discreetly

sign Jin Yi.

Didn't you mention

that his sponsorship with Oscom

is expiring?

Snatch him up.

Badminton is my first shot

at getting my product line

in order.

I want to make a loud debut.

Okay. I'll do my best.

Don't worry about going to Shanghai.

Stay

and get that contract signed.

Understood.

A penalty of three glasses.

Drink three glasses.

Sorry, I'm late.

Sorry.

You'an. Come. Sit.

Take a seat.

Sorry.

Just sent my boss off on his flight.

Why is the boss

going to Shanghai all of a sudden?

I heard that the venue of this year's supplier conference

has not yet been decided.

Last year, the North China conference

was held in Beijing.

So this year, we and North China

should be in Shenzhen

somehow.

Don't worry, Mr. Eddie.

It doesn't matter

where the supplier conference is held.

What matters is who the boss is willing

to give the best suppliers to.

I mean this sincerely, You'an.

I would love to have you join us.

Once you're free,

the position of my head of marketing

is all yours.

The supplier conference

isn't difficult to handle.

When the boss asks for your opinion,

put in a good word for me,

all right?

Don't worry.

I'll do everything I can for you

within my capability.

Here.

How could you let You'an

drink beer?

Yoyo? Yoyo!

I've already prepared it.

I'm fine with anything.

This is You'an's favourite.

Thank you.

See?

Even I don't get such special treatment.

I'm hoping to ride on her coattails.

You'an,

a toast to you.

Let's give a toast to her together.

Come, You'an.

You'an.

Thank you.

Sorry.

I was on the phone for so long.

Something urgent came up

in Singapore that needed to be handled.

Tonight is also a reception for Nate.

I dragged him here right after he got off his plane

this afternoon.

It has been a while.

It hasn't been that long.

After all, you're just like a migratory bird.

You fly back every year.

Come. Let's drink.

Let's drink. Come.

Cheers.

Drink.

It's fine. Just send it

to my email.

It's not a big deal.

Just focus on your job.

Yes, keep Mr. Jie happy.

Tell me if anything comes up. I'm hanging up.

How do you feel?

You're not drunk, are you?

I think it's hard to get drunk

on this stuff.

Every time I come back,

somehow, the first impression I get is

your alcohol tolerance

seems to have gotten even better again.

By the way,

thanks

for the birthday present.

I love it.

Thank you.

I'm glad you like it.

I gave you that set of tableware

to use at home, maybe when you drink coffee

or eat some fruit.

Very practical.

It is indeed

my most frequently used item

now.

I can stay

for about two months this time.

Is that long?

Did the company say

when your outstation ends

and you can come back to Shenzhen?

I put in a request

to stay in Singapore for the long term.

That's good.

That's nice.

Let's head inside.

They'll probably be done

after another round of drinks.

Jin Yi.

Be serious.

All right.

You've seen him

in this afternoon's training.

Jiang Chenglin.

Present.

He will be joining us

from today onwards.

Your new teammate.

He is the youngest

and new here.

Look after him.

That's all for this afternoon's training.

Dismissed.

Thank you, sir.

Clean up the court.

What are you waiting for?

All right.

I'm not talking about you.

That's his job.

You don't need to do it.

Get some good rest.

Work hard, kid.

Okay.

Chuan, I'm new here.

I know the rules.

Your rules

don't apply here.

Don't bother.

But this isn't something you should do, either.

It's fine.

At least let me help you.

Stay away from me.

I'm not used to having someone beside me.

Trio with single.

No.

I heard you're sharing a dorm

with that new kid.

Yes, we are.

A pair of Ks.

No.

Keep an eye on him.

Don't stay blind and deaf.

I know, I know.

Not for me.

You're back.

The court is ready.

Did that new kid

help you?

He isn't that perceptive.

Neither do I need him.

Bomb.

How much longer are you guys going to keep playing?

This is my dorm too.

We're just playing for a bit. Who are you to tell us what to do?

Who let you play those cards?

Pair of As.

Drinking coffee in the middle of the night?

She's not worried about being unable to fall asleep, huh?

Pair of threes.

I can't match up.

Pair of eights.

Pair of twos.

The stakes are high in this game.

It's almost 11:00 p.m.

Four sevens!

Got something better?

No.

If not, then it's all mine.

It's a no from me.

What are you talking about?

Don't you have four tens?

Peepers get stitches!

As if I need you to go easy on me!

No, Yi…

Shuffle the cards and start over!

Still playing?

If not, get out.

(Liang You'an: Will you be there tomorrow?)

(I'm going to see your team tomorrow for work.)

(Song Sanchuan: Training starts at 8:00 a.m.)

Okay. See you tomorrow.

Let's play a game. You and me.

Are you in?

What are the stakes?

Save time.

Draw and flip. The bigger one wins.

Loser

will be the winner's ball boy for a day.

Bring it on.

Let's get started.

Go and pick up the balls at the back.

Start.

Xiong, you're here.

Thank you

for the tech support.

It's all right.

Focus on

Jin Yi's technique and playing style.

I've spoken to the coach.

We've arranged to do a data collection session

with him

this afternoon.

Then, we'll have a set of training wear

and shoes tailor-made for him

so he can get a feel

of our products.

Okay. No problem.

Okay. I ordered you an Americano.

You're too kind.

Xiong,

the one in the red training wear

is Jin Yi.

Okay.

What are you doing?

I almost sprained my ankle!

How are you so bad at being a ball boy?

How are you so bad at playing?

You can't receive a ball like this!

Isn't that what you told me?

That my techniques are too bad, and I have too many unsolved issues.

Go easy on me.

You're doing this on purpose.

A sore loser, are you?

Don't want to make good on your word?

No wonder everyone lets you get away with things.

Fine. I'm not practising today.

I'll serve you

until you're satisfied.

Talk. What is it?

It has been like this all morning.

Tell me.

What's going on between you and Jin Yi?

He lost a bet.

He's my ball boy for the day.

I went through a lot of trouble

to get two colleagues from the Information Department

to come and collect data on Jin Yi.

How are we supposed to do that

if you're making him retrieve balls?

So?

I sent you a message last night,

hoping

that having a familiar face on the team

might be able to help me out.

Or, at the very least,

not give me trouble.

Since when did we become

familiar acquaintances?

Okay. Fine. We're not.

Pretend I never said anything.

I'm not trying to cause trouble.

I just have nothing else to do.

I just wanted to teach him a lesson.

I thought

lessons were taught on the court

among athletes.

I'll be collecting data

this afternoon as well.

No more messing around.

Fine.

Since a familiar acquaintance of mine has spoken,

I'll dismiss my ball boy

from his duties.

These two sets of machines we brought today

are the most advanced evaluation instruments

of Young Space.

This set is used

to evaluate

hand and foot reflexes.

This other set…

That's enough.

Mr. Yu told me.

I know everything.

The one I can't get out of my mind

is Song Sanchuan.

Of course, it's not him.

Eric.

Since we already brought

the machines here,

I would like to evaluate everyone

if the time

allows for it.

We have no problem with that.

All the machines are already here.

Thanks.

Letting everyone enjoy

this opportunity

will show

your leadership.

What do you think?

Of course.

This is a good thing.

It wouldn't be right of me

to refuse.

Hurry!

Over here!

Okay.

Over here!

Song Sanchuan.

You two should get tested too.

Sure.

Why should someone who can't compete

even bother with the evaluation?

Don't waste everyone's time.

We would like to have everyone

get evaluated if possible.

He doesn't need to do it.

My phone's out of battery.

Rent a powerbank for me.

It's fine, Yi.

I'll do it.

No.

You're the one who should be doing this the most

so everyone can know

what you're capable of.

Go on.

Next.

This set of tests evaluates

your core stability,

joint flexibility,

neuromuscular control,

range of motion,

balance, proprioception,

and other abilities

as a whole to provide accurate results.

Then it is used to determine

the athlete's risk of injury

and potential problems.

Miss,

you sound so professional.

Can you do it for me?

I trust you.

Sure.

Let me do it, Eric.

Thanks.

Good work today.

Can you not be so indecent?

What's your problem?

Where were you looking?

I've never seen you stand up for anyone

in all the time we've been teammates.

I thought

you didn't care about anything at all.

I'm done with this.

Jin Yi.

What?

I'll be honest with you.

I've always had reservations

about having you

as our long-term spokesperson.

The only reason I could convince myself

was I could see

that you work hard on the court.

You qualify in all professional qualifications,

but I have to take a gamble on everything else.

No, what… What do you mean?

I'll make Young Space's stance clear

to you.

If we are able to trust and cooperate with each other,

Young Space

will make you the brightest star in no time.

But if you can't treat others equally,

you can forget about it.

There's a practical saying at work.

To make things difficult for others is

to make things difficult for yourself.

I'm definitely more professional than you

when it comes to making things difficult for someone.

So I'm giving you

two choices right now.

One.

You turn me down.

My people and machines will withdraw immediately.

Or

I'll go back to my car and get some rest,

but I'll only leave

after my colleagues

have collected

everyone's data.

Brat.

You don't even have a fully grown moustache yet,

and you're trying to pull that lewd act on me?

Hello?

All right.

As long as he cooperates.

You guys can take a break

and

leave those two machines

for me.

Begin.

Did you stay behind by yourself

just for me?

Focus on the test.

Okay. That's enough.

(Song Sanchuan)

(Average: 0.94)

(Jin Yi)

(Average: 1.52)

(His results are better than Jin Yi's.)

(He's the best candidate)

(for the underdog.)

How did I do?

Quite well.

I'll send you the report

for these two tests

once it's ready.

Thank you for earlier.

Just "thank you"?

We're done here,

Eric.

Could you pack up the machines?

Thanks.

I am busy today.

I'll treat you to wontons next time.

Wontons.

Mr. Jie.

What's the matter?

I would like to ask you

to assign me Mr. Eddie's secretary,

Yoyo.

Why?

She's meticulous

and responsible at work.

She's optimistic and cheerful.

She possesses the qualities

of a good assistant.

I know

I was too impatient.

I didn't consider what difficulties you might be facing.

That was wrong of me.

I will do my best

to make this underdog project

a success,

and I will train

a qualified successor myself

in the meantime.

Please make good

on your promise

when the time comes

and transfer me to business operations.

What is this?

Don't you trust me?

All right.

Request approved.

Thank you, Mr. Jie.

That woman from Young Space.

Liang something?

You know her?

So you're the one

who brought me that sponsor.

I'm not capable of such a feat.

I wondered

why you suddenly

wanted to make a bet with me last night.

So this is what you were after.

She's her, and I'm me.

We're not related.

So you deliberately made me look bad

in front of a sponsor.

Listen up.

There is no next time.

Let's go.
