[Falling Before Fireworks]

[Episode 7]

[Nancheng presents you with a sincere gift.]

I only have one client open a card

for the whole morning.

At the end of a year,

I keep wondering whether your job

is nothing more than a bricklayer.

I do want to be a bricklayer,

[Nancheng presents you with a sincere gift.]

but I am afraid

that the construction site won't hire me.

At least when I get close to the workers,

[Nancheng presents you with a sincere gift.]

I have the chance

to convince you to put your savings

in our bank.

At the end of this year,

I wrote two characters:

deposit.

I really can't help you, sister.

You've exhausted the pool of

potential clients in my store.

How about asking for help

from your husband?

He is poor

and grandpa just passed away.

I don't want to bother him with this.

Chen.

Have you eaten?

Come here.

Your auntie is serving freshly steamed buns.

Don't forget to soak the rice cakes in water.

Don't bother to make dinner.

Have dinner at grandma's home.

Okay.

Ms. Chen.

Chen.

Come here.

Here you are.

Thank you, Ms. Chen.

I've caused you lots of trouble these days.

You're being polite.

Neighbors should help each other.

And all I have done is show Siqing the way.

I didn't think she was easy to get along with.

But that night she changed my mind

by being so considerate.

In the middle of the night,

she apologized to every house with gift money.

She was apologizing on behalf of you.

Look.

Even your high-maintenance Auntie Qian

admits that you married a good wife.

[Nancheng Commercial Bank]

[Citizen ATM]

[Contact us to Connect the Future]

[Contact us to Connect the Future]

Sister,

you're amazing.

You even brought back the savings of a village.

I knew it.

That's why you don't care about Mr. Xiao.

You bring in the cash flow

two or three times more than him.

Manager Si.

Come here.

Jing Chen's wife is here.

Auntie Qian.

I want to put the money into your bank.

All of them.

Are there any bank promotions,

like giving away rice, noodle, or paper drawings as gifts?

Yes, there are.

Our bank has

the highest fixed annual interest rate.

I'm not doing this for the free gifts.

In fact,

I made a point of coming here

for you and Jing Chen.

Thank you, Auntie.

Siqing,

let me know

when your bank runs promotional activities

next time.

I still have money back home.

Okay. Thank you, Auntie Qian.

The last bus had gone.

How are you going to get back?

Well, a passenger bus is arriving.

Okay, thank you.

Chen, you should

take some time to talk to your wife.

We'll wait for you in the car.

Did you ask them to come?

[Jingyu Hall]

♫Back in the early days♫

♫I used to play those days♫

Are you vaccinated?

♫Until I realized that none of it was true♫

Yes.

♫I knew I would give up, I never had a doubt♫

♫I never thought that I'd meet someone like you♫

How about spending the Spring Festival holiday

back in Zunnan

♫Everything about you makes me feel so right♫

to have an official meeting with your parents?

Not necessary.

I'm not planning to come back home this year.

♫All of my life I've been searching for you♫

They've started their own families.

If I visit them during Chinese New Year,

I'll end up giving my parents allowances to display filial piety

♫Someone to change that all of that I knew♫

rather than receiving pocket money.

It's not worth it.

How about celebrating New Year by ourselves

in our home?

♫Open my eyes and I know I've finally found what I love♫

Okay.

The holiday will officially start

on the 29th day of the 12th lunar month.

Don't forget to make time to help me move.

Okay.

You go in first. I have to leave.

[Airplane Ticket from Nancheng to Zunnan]

[Youxi Restaurant]

Okay, it's done.

Umbrella.

Look.

The image is badly structured

and overly exposed.

And the background has a strong sense of business.

Mr. Yun, this amounts to a niche setting

in this field.

Other scenic scenes

could be worse than this.

Then we'll find a unique scene.

The first batch of the Hanfu

from Cloud Top Studio must be

perfect.

This...

This is too hard.

A week ago, you thought that it was impossible

for me to lose weight from 100kg to 95kg.

But now I weigh 90kg.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Sit here and take a rest.

You look pale.

Are you cold?

I'm fine.

Go get candy for me.

Okay.

Hold on.

Did you get the candy?

Go find some desserts. Dessert works too.

Hurry up.

Sister, have some water first.

Do you get the candy?

Yu.

I'm going back to Nancheng.

Really?

How long will you stay this time?

I'm not leaving.

I want to settle down here.

I plan to go to your bank this afternoon.

Are you free tonight?

Let's have lunch together.

Okay.

Don't forget to invite Chen.

Is he alright?

Senior, Brother Chen is...

Is that a tough question?

Let's talk later tonight.

Sorry, senior.

Brother Chen and my mentor now

share the same hukou.

[Customer Manager Office]

[Business Administration of NCB]

[Jing Chen]

Siqing,

[Nancheng Commercial Bank]

why don't you go home for the Spring Festival?

Have you forgotten that she has a husband?

She's half a Nancheng girl now.

[Nancheng Commercial Bank]

This is

the wedding gift for you and your husband.

I'm sorry for what I did.

Thank you.

Tiantian.

My flight is at 5 am.

But I have an appointment with a client at 3 pm.

Should I change a flight?

Alright, bring it here.

Thanks.

[Loan Contract of Nancheng Commercial Bank]

I checked the contract yesterday.

It will be fine.

[Yu Pian]

She is

the goddess of the Hanfu circle.

She is also an original designer

with millions of followers on Weibo.

Who?

[Yu Pian]

Yu Pian.

Senior.

Why are you...

I'm here for a loan.

I have an appointment with

the customer manager

called Ai Li.

I'll leave you to it and talk to you later.

Wait, you...

Hurry up. I'm in a hurry.

Right away.

Let me do it.

It's you.

You lost my money yesterday.

Give me my money back!

Pay me back!

Aunt, that's not right.

Pay me back!

Give me my money back!

Please calm down.

Aunt, please calm down.

Take it easy.

The bank will solve the problem for you.

Crap!

You shameless thing!

How heartless of you

to steal my life-saving money.

Go to hell.

I...

Look carefully.

Look carefully.

I saved over 30,000 yuan in the bank.

This money will be used to save my son's life.

But these liars stole all of my money.

I...

Give me my money back!

That's not true.

What are you talking about?

I didn't take your money.

I helped you withdraw the money yesterday.

And I helped you with the remittance.

You gave me your account number.

Stop lying

Yesterday,

you transferred through this machine

my deposit in my bank account

to your account.

So give me my money back!

I... Come here.

Aunt,

[Electronic Bank Service Area]

there must be some misunderstanding.

Let's have some tea in the lounge

and check yesterday's CCTV.

If it's our problem,

we'll take full responsibility.

What lounge?

Just talk here.

Don't think I don't know?

[Electronic Bank Service Area]

Everyone, look.

They are all in cahoots.

The CCTV is fake.

He knows that I can't read.

So he intended to steal

when he helped me to fill out the form.

You are

a motherless and fatherless bastard.

[Electronic Bank Service Area]

Give me my money back!

Aunt, calm down.

[Electronic Bank Service Area]

There is no need to be rude.

The priority is to settle your problem.

Get lost.

Alright.

For the sake of your age,

I will forgive you for what you said just now.

But let me be clear with you.

Don't slander me.

Don't get my family involved.

You go to the surveillance room

to get yesterday's record,

and then get the copies

[Electronic Bank Service Area]

from the clearing center.

I'll take care of this.

Go.

Look, everyone.

He feels guilty. He wants to run away.

Come and help me catch him.

Call the police!

Call the police!

Aunt, there’s a misunderstanding.

He is away to see the surveillance footage.

I'm his supervisor.

I'll solve this for him. Is it okay for you?

The bank

is fully covered with security cameras.

That means every word is recorded.

No mistake can be

hidden.

Are you going to hit me?

You deserve this.

Let go of me!

I know exactly how you feel.

But if you want the money back,

you have to calm down

and do as I say.

Let go of me!

My son's life counts on the money.

My son.

My son was arrested by the court.

If I don't pay the money,

my son will die in there.

And I'll die with him.

Please give me my money back.

[Nancheng Justice Bureau]

Call the police. It's telecom fraud.

Check what is going on in the account now.

Freeze the bank account.

My money!

[Nancheng Commercial Bank]

Miss Yun Pian, I'm really sorry.

[Jiangnan Famous Chef]

A little problem came up today.

I'm afraid I can't give you the loan.

Could we rearrange it for tomorrow?

It's okay.

I could wait one or two days for it.

And

nothing is small

when it comes to a woman's face.

[Shuyue Hotel]

Thank you.

[Jiangnan Famous Chef]

Do you feel wronged

because your kindness went unrecognized?

But you are wrong.

Of course, I'm at fault in your opinion,

Manager Si.

After all,

back then when a client verbally abused you

just because you didn't understand

the Nancheng dialect,

you smiled and brought gifts

to beg his forgiveness.

Nobody is on par with you

after the feat.

No wonder

among all these contractors,

you are the only one who gets the job offer.

What do you think I should do?

I'm not you.

You can quit when you're unhappy

and take over the family business.

No, I don't get to choose.

Or I should say 80% of the people

living in the city

don't have a choice like that.

We suck it up

and worry about

mortgages, pensions, and work.

Why don't you use

your husband as a case study this time?

He.

He is

what idealism looks like to people like us.

to be pursued and protected,

but never be surpassed.

I mean you started off on the wrong footing.

You shouldn't violate the rules,

by filling out forms for the client.

You might find the rule

unimportant and cold.

But it'll protect you.

Today's incident

would not have happened

to any one of the experienced workers.

Where are you going?

I'm going to keep working as one of the 80%.

[Shuyue Hotel]

[Nancheng Commercial Bank]

What a bummer.

[Nancheng Commercial Bank]

[Jing Chen]

Are you going home for dinner?

[Jing Chen]

[Jing Chen]

[I patted Jing Chen.]

[Jing Chen]

[I patted Jing Chen.]

[Are you going home for dinner?]

[I replied Siqing with a pat.]

[I replied Siqing with a pat.]

[Are you going home for dinner?]

[I replied Siqing with a pat.]

[Jing Garden]

Don't catch a cold.

Put me down. I can walk on my own.

Where did you get these photos?

I went to Zunnan a few days ago.

[Zunnan 3 days ago]

This is the photo of

Siqing's younger sister

and it was shot on her one-year birthday.

Siqing is a responsible sister

in taking care of her younger sister.

Siqing never made me worry.

She is nothing like her younger sister

who is always fussy and naughty.

The front pages

belong to her younger sister.

These are Si Qing's photos.

♫When we were young, we thought♫

♫love could last forever♫

♫When we were deep in love♫

♫we couldn't hear the sighs in the wind♫

♫Who knows what love is?♫

♫The brief encounter is still fresh in my mind♫

♫I spent my whole life♫

♫trying to forget, but I couldn't♫

Put them on.

Why are you hanging

such embarrassing photos?

♫Now we're separated♫

To ward off evil spirits in the house.

We have lots of spare photo frames.

♫We live like the people around us♫

We could

fill them up slowly.

♫I can depend on the person in front of me♫

♫I hope you are treated gently♫

♫When I'm in a trance♫

I'm going to take a shower.

♫I seem to see you in the crowd♫

♫You appeared♫

♫but soon vanished in the blink of an eye♫

Have a taste.

Is it sufficiently seasoned?

It's perfect.

I've been losing more hair lately.

Who did this to you?

No one.

I was accidentally hurt

when I tried to stop the fight this afternoon.

It looks a bit serious.

It is merely bad luck.

It's just my bad luck being beaten.

Does it still hurt?

No.

It's my first time being beaten

in front of a crowd.

I feel

humiliated

and embarrassed.

All my life

I have not been beaten by my parents.

The most irritating part is that

because they are clients,

I can't fight back.

What I'm going to say

doesn't conform to what we learned

in the ethics class.

But my advice is

that whoever hurt you, hit them back.

Though we're not an affluent family,

we can cover

the medical expenses.

Of course.

you don't need to be brave

if you don't think you can win the fight.

Get your helpers, like Chi Zhongyu

and security guards.

You can't reason with unreasonable people.

But she's over 60 years old.

Neither can I bear to beat her up nor can I win the quarrel.

Then you should use Chi Zhongyu

as a body shield.

As the old saying goes,

a teacher for a day is a father for life

or a sister-in-law

is like one's mother.

He has the obligation to protect you.

Okay.

But don't feel guilty

or have a sense of helplessness

like you can't protect me.

Even if you're like a boss in a TV series

who could acquire

other people's company willfully,

you can't just buy our bank.

Also,

don't tell me to quit.

The sunk cost and

the sense of achievement

derived from earning money

prevent me from doing that.

You really...

You leave me no chance to do nice things for you.

That's not true.

That's enough.

What's wrong? Are you full?

It's the first time that

I find the News Simulcast interesting.

It gives me inner peace

and the value of life.

One more thing.

Chi Zhongyu, that idiot

found out about us.

You should give him a little comfort.

[The Two of Us in a Room]

[The Two of Us in a Room]

[Three Meals and Four Seasons]

[That's the world he favors.]

Did she tell on me to you?

She didn't say anything. I figured it out myself.

You couldn't resist telling me last night

based on your protective personality.

What about me being protective?

You don't take me as one of your family.

Marriage is a big deal

and you hid it from me.

I told you

the day we got the marriage certificate.

Brother Chen,

you pick up the bad habits of my mentor,

making excuses and lies.

Mandarin duck blankets.

Why do you need all these red mandarin duck blankets?

[Home Beauty Furniture]

Are you getting married?

Not bad, Brother Chen.

You grew a sense of humor.

What the hell?

Can I have a win?

[Player Information]

Dahongpao Tea Is Not Green Tea

Who is this?

Dahongpao Tea Is Not Green Tea

It's me.

I thought

you asked me to play basketball today to comfort me.

Turns out, you came here

to earn respect for your wife.

Brother Chen,

you've changed.

You used to let me win at least one time.

I was single before.

So Yu,

don't pick on my wife.

I don't have the guts to do that.

It's my luck if she doesn't bully me.

Do you believe it?

If her client were younger,

she would be a troublemaker after work.

Fine.

I admit

that it was my fault that she got hurt yesterday.

I shouldn't have mocked her afterwards.

So,

she didn't tell me the whole story.

It's my first time doing this.

I'm unfamiliar with it.

Brother Chen,

seriously,

things won't work out for you two.

I don't understand.

Except she is younger than the senior,

what do you see in her?

Why are you marrying her?

[Six years ago, Zunnan]

[Public Auction for Left-behind Children]

[Charity Exhibition of Nancheng Academy of Art]

[Winter Solstice]

[Hu Xiaohui]

Today is the winter solstice.

That's a good name.

But,

why did you choose such a work?

Jing Chen,

are you giving up on sculpturing?

You used to repel traditional craftsmanship

more than anyone else.

How come you suddenly changed as we're close to graduation?

Do you hate going aboard with us that much?

It has nothing to do with you.

Yeah.

Of course, your choice has nothing to do with me.

But you have to plan for your future.

Poor art graduates like us

will be stamped upon by capitalism

as soon as we walk out of school and lose the protection of our teachers.

no matter how talented you are.

The Oliver team has always been

the best in art replication.

That's the best offer you can get.

I've already turned it down.

Why?

Are you really going back to the countryside

and being a carpenter like your grandpa?

It would be nice if I could.

I'm still here

only because I don't deserve it

and I'm not qualified for being a carpenter.

I want to make a bet with myself.

If someone is willing

to accept this defective product,

I'll take it as a win.

And I win the qualification of coming home.

Okay.

But I'll bid the price

[Title of Work: Winter Solstice. Bid: 9,999]

[Title of Work: Winter Solstice. Bid: 9,999]

to buy off the rest of your life.

I'm not asking too much, aren't I?
