[Once and Forever]

[Episode 30]

Coming!

[Welcome Editor Xie]

Welcome.

Canteen.

Business meeting room.

San Gou,

I think you should

at least rent a two-bedroom room.

Then you can have

your own office.

That's all formality.

Am I right?

Only an open working environment

like this

can create a feeling of starting a business.

Are we two the only ones

in this company?

The publication director is on a business trip.

So... three people?

It's only temporary.

San Gou.

How did you come to the thought

of running your own studio based on such a size?

Well, take a seat.

I'll tell you slowly.

Here's the how.

Someone reached out to me,

but I turned him down.

I thought,

why couldn't I do it myself?

Think about it.

Creating is one person's business,

but starting a business is a group's effort.

Take you as an example.

Your ideology in a traditional publishing house

was old-fashioned.

You sought after whosever work was popular.

I want to break this tradition.

We need to create a theme first,

and then find a suitable writer,

thus turning culture into an industrial chain.

Have you memorized this part?

It's quite smooth.

I've met two investors.

No wonder.

Please continue.

For example.

Seul.

She's good at writing in Korean style.

So we can create

a K-drama theme

and ask her to write about it.

We'll give it the whole package.

Not only will we publish the novel,

we'll also sell the copyright

and finally make it into a TV drama.

Wait.

You met Seul?

She?

She admires me.

I thought

your relationship would die after seeing each other.

Stop joking.

By the way,

write down the phone number

of the company.

Six... six, two... two, two... two,

one... one, nine, four, nine.

Is it a phone number?

Why not?

Eight digits.

Six, two... two, four... four...

Okay.

San Gou.

I'll write it down later.

Let me also tell you how I feel.

Since I'm working with you,

you don't need to worry.

I will definitely plan out a theme

that is as good as that of Old Stories of Northeast China

and build a superior...

a best-selling author

as good as you.

It's okay.

A superior one

is better.

Come up with a plan within a week.

Is that okay?

Sure!

By the way,

we have to hurry up and prepare the stock

for the Double 11 Shopping Event.

With our sales,

why bother preparing the stock?

The warehouse operation department

laughs at us every time.

When I'm there, they don't even look at me.

Then maybe

you met a guy with strabismus.

Alright, stop whining.

Let's make them see us with new eyes this time.

How many should we prepare?

Two hundred should be enough.

Two hundred?

At least one thousand.

Are you crazy?

What if we have to send them back?

You carry them yourself.

I'm telling you, I'm not going.

Things inside the company

are different from the school.

People around you are not that simple.

You need to learn from President Wu.

Be more reserved when dealing with people.

Be polite.

I understand.

By the way,

I canceled the supplementary card

of your credit card.

Mom.

Wang Ying had never used that card.

I know.

If she had,

I would've canceled it long ago.

Wang Ying and I actually...

Say no more.

You span things out in London for so long.

Do you really think

that we know nothing?

That we don't know why?

You should see clearly now

what is going on

in Wang Ying's family.

Beibei.

Sure, you two are friends,

but when it comes to questions of right and wrong,

you need to have a stance.

Moreover, you should know

what to do in the future.

I know.

What a stunning masterpiece!

I'm impressed.

Thank you for your words.

In Paris,

people think I'm crazy

for putting that much time

into just one painting.

This painting shouldn't be here.

It may accomplish its value in China.

I would love to go to China.

It must be

a place full of opportunities.

I thought

France was the perfect choice for artists,

but,

in fact,

it's just a capitalist society. All people think about is piling up euros.

I can't agree more, especially in Paris.

Unfortunately,

in Chinese art industry,

I'm just a nobody.

Let me what I can do for you.

You're talented, Mr. Xinli.

And, compared with other places,

China is willing to accept a genius like you.

Lu Yu said you cut off all contacts.

I don't want to hear him nagging.

Photos of you drinking with that actor

were taken.

You've got it taken care of, right?

I know.

You're the best at taking care of such a problem.

Xiao Qianxi.

Can you sober up a little?

Am I not sober?

I'm already so sober

that I broke up with the man I wanted to marry the most.

So you don't want to break up with him?

Is it still possible

for us to be together?

So you just indulged yourself

in getting absolutely hammered

with a random C-list actor?

Does it matter?

Yes.

If there has to be such a person,

it might as well be me.

Do you think this is necessary for us?

I won't force you.

But I don't think it's necessary

for you to refuse.

Turn off the lights.

But from now on,

there'll be some trouble triggering the switch.

You have to twist to the left,

then to the right.

Twist to the left first,

then to the right.

[Jianbing Guru]

Part one.

On a day with thunderstorm,

with a strike of lightning,

the heroine travels back in time.

Just... just like that?

She doesn't get killed?

What matters is that she does travel back

and not how she does it.

When she goes back in time,

she meets the First Prince,

the Second Prince,

and many other princes

just passing by,

who, for her,

create scenes

of romantic tragedies and comedies

in the palace full of scheming.

Go!

Everyone falls in love with her

so deeply.

For her,

they create scenes

[The Fourth Prince, The Thirteenth Prince]

of romantic tragedies and comedies

in the palace full of scheming.

Why do we all

like her so much?

Because when she travels back in time,

It's normal

for her to be different

with her sense of contemporaneity.

She has her hair dyed.

Hold on.

Well, I think

many people have written that way.

Doesn't this plan follow the trend too hard?

Following the trend makes easy money.

How about

you write about a dynasty less portrayed?

They write about the Qing Dynasty

while you write about the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

They write about seven princes

while you write about Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove.

If I really did that,

I would be sorry

for the ancient literature history class

that I worked so hard to pass.

Well then...

Travel to the future.

An ordinary-looking girl

from a poor family,

accidentally,

ends up in an elite school.

How can she go to an elite school

if she's from a poor family?

Let me finish.

It's for a part-time job.

Here she is at the school.

The heroine

meets the son of the biggest plutocrat.

Hi.

And the son of the Prime Minister.

Fabulous 4.

Everyone falls in love with her

so deeply.

Everyone falls in love again?

One is cute and gentle,

and the other is handsome and elegant.

One is rich and the other is powerful.

They have such good backgrounds.

They are

a perfect match.

Then why do we need the heroine?

Two heroes should just be together.

Do you really think the audience is dumb?

Everyone watches just for fun.

No one takes it seriously.

The more demotic it is, the more people will watch it.

The more people watch it,

the more target audience it has.

There's definitely no problem

if you plan this way.

But it's too unrealistic.

Dad.

Why are you here?

That's my line.

I'm thirsty after work.

I came here for a glass of water.

What a coincidence. I'm also thirsty

after buying groceries.

So I came here for a glass of water.

What you're doing is called monitoring.

Don't say that, sweetie.

This is called

paying close attention

to my daughter's relationship status

and future trajectory of marriage.

All right, come home with me.

I have to report to your mom.

Stop looking. Let's go!

You're so much trouble.

I think things between you two

are quite realistic.

Why don't we ask Xie Qiao

to plan a novel about how to be in a relationship

in spite of parents' disapproval.

This kind of novel

might also have a market.

I've even got a name.

Unwanted Son-in-law.

No matter how many royal descendants you plan,

in reality, no one will help you.

What we can rely on

is our own effort.

[Catch all the cheapness with the "net". Surprising new products have arrived.
Extremely delicious.]

Sister, wear a scarf to cool down.

Mr... Mr. Chen.

Let Xiaochun prepare

your passport.

You're coming with me to Vienna next week.

[Pu Huang Yu]

We're at Pu Huang Yu.

Yes.

Wu.

Turn left at the traffic light ahead.

Where are we going, sister?

Qianxi, have some fruit.

You're so skinny. Eat more.

Long time no see.

When I opened the door,

I almost didn't recognize you.

It's been a long time, indeed.

I happened to pass by,

so I wanted to pay you a visit.

Sorry I didn't inform you in advance.

I know you're busy.

But no matter how busy you are,

you have to take care of yourself.

Uncle.

I'm sorry.

Xiaozhou and I...

Qianxi.

Don't say that.

Xiaozhou wants to stay in the UK,

and you're doing pretty well in China.

Time passes and there's nothing you can do.

Uncle.

Oh... oh yeah. Wait a minute.

Xiaozhou brought this from the UK for you

at the beginning of the year.

You were photographed, right?

He didn't have time to give it to you.

I bought this for you

after seeing it at the supermarket.

Hope you like it.

Check if it's expired.

What happened?

Uncle.

I feel unhappy.

I feel so unhappy.

I never told anyone,

and I couldn't tell anyone.

I chose this path by myself,

and I walked it voluntarily.

But I didn't expect,

while I was walking,

I would lose Xiaozhou.

I dare not think about it.

I'm afraid when I think about it too hard,

all this so-called effort these years

will not be worth mentioning.

The theme I planned

starts from time traveling.

The heroine chronologically

gets into romantic entanglement

with all these seven princes.

Wa... Wait.

Se... seven?

Look.

No matter how,

to me it still sounds like

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.

They're different.

My setting

secretly coincides with women's expectations

for men in their fantasies.

Therefore,

it also includes

all kinds of romantic relationships

in all romance novels nowadays.

This... this romance is too chaotic.

San Gou, listen to me.

This is my plan.

After the heroine travels back,

she falls first

into the mansion of the First Prince,

becomes friends

with the Second Prince,

and is loved by the Third Prince.

But in the heroine's heart,

she has feelings

for the ruthless Fourth Prince.

But the Fourth Prince

has the sole desire to be the emperor.

In order to fulfill it, he's willing to do anything

and even wants to sacrifice the heroine.

So, at this time,

the kind Fifth Prince appears.

And then...

Five of them is messy enough.

Are there two more?

The Fifth Prince becomes the emperor.

But he makes the heroine

struggle in the imperial harem.

[Time Travel, Astuteness, Palace Drama]

Look.

She is humiliated, wronged,

and hurt time after time.

Now comes the Sixth Prince.

He goes to find the Seventh Prince

who has a crush on the heroine.

They work together

and overturn the Fifth Prince.

In the end, the Sixth Prince

becomes the emperor,

and the Seventh Prince and the heroine

get together and travel around the world.

Hold on.

I... I have a question.

Is this a romance novel?

Yes.

No matter how I see it,

it's still a Mary Sue story.

On the board

are all the most popular materials

that have the most clicks online.

You...

you basically stitched together

the top ranking romantic novels

on Dangdang.

Editor Xie.

You're slacking off.

No, I'm not.

For real.

I've read

over 20 best-selling online novels

for this theme.

I worked till midnight for this plan.

I'm talking about another kind of slacking off.

Put... put down the pointer.

Sit down.

Why... why do I think

you didn't take it seriously?

We... we can work on this theme, yes,

and have a print run of 30,000

just like Seul.

But how can this be

our core competence?

We... we are just a small workshop.

We have to have our own uniqueness.

In the past, you told me

my Old Stories of Northeast China

is a novel with social values.

You are the genius Editor Xie

who makes me keep going.

I find it hard to believe.

Is this really the theme you agree with?

Don't tear it.

The back can still be used for printing.

We just started a business.

Be frugal.

Ma'am.

San Gou is so ignorant.

Is he getting so old

that he can't keep up with the trend?

We got so invested planning this book.

But,

being invested itself is not enough.

I think San Gou is right.

Can we really

move out of this residential building

by publishing dozens of combinations

of such novels?

Actually, if you want to

move out of the residential building,

the fastest way is to switch your job.

Screw you!

We are doing business.

Don't you throw cold water on us.

What a huge business.

It's in the primary stage.

I've never seen someone

who turns making a living

into such an idealist thing.

Look at all of you.

You are all so invigorated.

Xinyuan.

Check if there’s any wrong spelling.

No, there isn't.

Why does it feel more nerve-wrecking

than the college entrance exam?

To be honest,

all that made-up nonsense

is just a castle in the air.

I think we'll be better off

writing about our own experience.

Who?

You, me, Xiaochuan,

Xu Lin, Qianxi, Wang Ying,

Yang Cheng, Xinyuan,

and Qin Qian.

And Qin Chuan.

You are committing jobbery

because you have no choice.

What?

Don't you think

we are worth writing?

What we're experiencing

is the era of fastest global development

and most drastic changes.

Our puberty

is the puberty of the era.

To commemorate us

is to commemorate this era.

Plus,

look,

a persistent person like Qin Chuan,

-don’t you think he’s shining?
-Yes.

You must have got glaucoma

because of love.

Here it begins.

Any order?

Maybe not everybody

places orders at the exact time.

It's slow to refresh.

[The Carnival Shopping Festival is here. Catch all the cheapness with the "net".]

[Number of Deals: 9]

[Number of Deals: 10]

We got one order!

Really?

Yes.

Two orders!

More?

Five orders!

[Number of Deals: 27]

Ten orders!

Fifteen orders!

We made it!

Qiaoqiao, we made it!

You made it?

Yes!

In 2009,

the first Double 11 Shopping Event

attracted the participation of 27 big brands,

which generated sales of 52 million across the Internet.

We fulfilled

1,039 orders.

The one-day turnover

of the online sales department

surpassed the total turnover of the first half of the year.

I secretly thought the result would be good,

but I never expected it to be this good.

Surely, this time, the people

from the online sales department of the company

will see you with different eyes.

Not only them,

I want everyone

to see me with different eyes.

Qiaoqiao, do you know?

I've waited for so long.

It's finally my turn to strike.

You're so ambitious.

Of course.

At least,

I want to do more than just secretly accompanying you

to the feet of where you live everyday.

You come home so late today.

What did you tell your mom?

Working overtime.

Did she believe you?

Doubtfully.

Let me tell you.

When the warehouse girl

sent me a message today,

she ended it with an emoji.

That was impossible before.

Our morale finally got boosted once.

This is nothing.

You

can wait for her

to treat you to dinner next year.

Shouldn't someone

treat me to dinner?

Everyone who participated in the Double 11 Shopping Event

made a profit this time.

And the result was better than expected.

Congratulations.

Congrats to you as well.

You sold well, too.

Thanks to you.

Don't worry.

You can refill coffee all you want today.

It was really hard

to get clients back then.

When I talked to other people,

they all rolled their eyes at me.

Only you

gave me a cup of hot coffee.

You still remember that?

Of course.

For me, I'm just a Beijing drifter.

If I hadn't met you,

who stepped forward,

I might not have been able

to stay here any longer.

Qin Chuan.

Thank you so much, really.

You're welcome.

I welcome you on behalf of the people of Beijing.

Qin Chuan, listen to me.

Keep working on Tian Miao.

I'm serious.

Since you

supported me so much,

I promise to direct the best flows

to your company.

I've decided to quit.

Why?

I want to open my own shop.

What business do you want to do?

I want to make

the best quality snacks online.

I can guarantee

the people who consume at my shop

will never get conterfeit goods.

Have you found

a supplier?

What about warehouse logistics?

Xinyuan and I have experience

in warehouse logistics.

The problem now is the goods.

We can't be more careful about the goods.

And they have to meet

my own standards.

I've been involved in a lot of products lately.

I happen to know

a pretty good supplier.

If you need it,

I can introduce it to you.

Thank you in advance.

Sit in the front.

It's okay now?

It doesn't matter.

You're so funny.

You know everything about me.

Do you really not mind?

Why should I mind?

Because this seat

belonged to someone

who had never sat on it?

Or because

you once childishly believed

in eternal love?

I know.

There is no eternal love in the world.

There is no eternal enemy.

Only eternally powerful people

and eternal interests.

You taught me that.

Yes, Qianxi.

The people like us two

are the eternally powerful ones

and have eternal interests.

Are... are you writing about Qin Chuan?

It's about us.

Our shared growth

and memories.

You are to be regarded with respect, everyone.

Is this theme approved?.

Will this sell better than time traveling?

I... I'm not sure about that.

But I think

it's very much worth a try.

Exactly.

I have a lot of stories.

My love life

is also rich.

There's so much to explore.

Rich, indeed.

For example, you've had feelings

for only one girl since childhood.

This is called devotion, okay?

Look at the supporting actor you designed.

He's rich, powerful, tall, and handsome.

Just like Yang.

It even sounds annoying.

There must be someone

girls can fantasize about.

I... I think debating is good.

But now we have

something more important to deal with.

Do you have a title?

Not yet.

But I think the title

should have a sense of looking back.

Like youth, flashing by or something.

All right.

Well.

Let me participate a little.

Okay?

Because I have

a very good title.

It's called We...

We Used to be Young.

What do you think?

Okay.

I thought I'd accompany you to something big

since you were so serious.

What did you wish it'd be?

I...

At least not

to be a model for San Gou's book.

Back in the day,

I asked San Gou to the club

for theme selection.

I wanted to try the same trick today.

It's the weekend.

It's such a good day.

Shouldn't we do something

closer, more suitable,

and more meaningful?

Is this meaningless to you?

You are the inspiration of our theme.

Do you really want to write based on me?

The thing is, an unlucky person like you

is uncommon

in our group of people.

You didn't study well,

made a fortune by selling pancakes,

and went through bankruptcy.

You finally have a girlfriend,

but aren't approved by her family.

Every step you take, there is a trap.

And you're still fighting

on the road full of traps.

Aren't you taking advantage of other people?

A life of ups and downs makes a good plot.

Besides,

other people

don't inspire me that much.

Let's call it When We Were Young.

I mean the title.

When We Were Young.

What do you think?

You're early.

The traffic is good today.

There's no traffic jam.

Did you bring the stuff?

Mr. Qin.

Shouldn't you

ask me to order first?

Psychic Lu.

You've signed the contract

and had the cake.

When are you going to

start writing?

No hurry.

How can I not?

I'm counting on you to make a living.

Don't worry. I know what to do.

To make this book good,

it depends on your cooperation.

Go ahead.

What do you want me to do?

As long as it's not about my family

or dumping Qin Chuan,

I can do anything.

It's not that serious.

I just need the truth.

I want to have separate interviews

with you and Qin Chuan

to analyze your inner thoughts.

I think you just want to satisfy

you desire for gossip.

I'm doing this for creating characters,

okay?

Since you don't like fabrication,

then whatever it takes to be real,

you have to do it.

With that, the work can have a solid foundation

and characteristics of the time

to match your idealism.

You count on me to make a living,

I also want you to live better.

The pistachios are not as good as what I found.

But today,

you showed me something new.

The Brazilian pine nuts?

Yes.

These things

taste like pine nuts,

but they're easy to crack open

like sunflower seeds.

Pretty amazing.

Compared to pistachios,

I prefer these.

Lin Yiyue.

Can you call me Yue?

Otherwise,

you calling me by my full name

makes me feel like I was called out

for making a mistake by my teacher

back in school days.

Okay, Yue.

Can you help me contact

this supplier?

For the Brazilian pine nuts?

Yes.

Okay, no problem.

Okay, thank you.

Are you going to do business of these?

These...

Bra...

Brazilian pine nuts.

Brazilian pine nuts.

Are these from Brazil?

Western Pakistan.

Western Pakistan.

You haven't even been

to Pakistan.

Boy.

Are you here with Xinyue

to hustle me today?

No.

Even if I'm not

100% trustworthy,

Xinyuan can't be in league

with me.

Not necessarily.

When I was young, I was in league

with him

to go to a parent meeting for you.

That was in the past.

Yes.

Sister, how about this.

If you don't believe in me,

come with me

to meet the supplier this week.

Make a judgment for me.

I don't know about these.

Don't think about getting an investment.

But even though I'm not investing,

I can still be your creditor.

I can lend you 500,000 yuan.

Sister, righteous.

It's so righteous of you.

It's like you're offering fuel in snowy weather,

having a strong sense of nobility, placing icing on the cake,

uniting the people,

and not flaunting your accomplishments.

Indeed.

You're good at words.

But you don't have to thank me.

Yihui left the money.

If he were still alive,

you've been grinding for so long,

I think,

he would be robbed by you.

Don't worry, sister.

I must not

lose my brother-in-law's money.

Do your best.

I'll announce the results.

I think

even though you've known each other since birth,

your understanding of each other

should really be deeper.

Did you

lie about something about me?

No way!

I told the truth!

We'll see.

Psychic Lu, show me the results.

I want to see, too.

These will be an secret for eternity.

When did you realize

that he's not just a childhood friend,

but a man.

When we were 6. In a fight,

I was no match for him.

When did you realize

that she's not just a childhood friend,

but a woman.

When she had her first period.

Only women

have that, right?

She didn't even notice it herself.

I was right in front of her

and I covered it for her with my clothes.

What about you do you think

attracts the other the most?

My beauty.

My cuteness, then.

I'm handsome.

I'm handsome.

Which one of you

is the more proactive one?

Qin Chuan!

Xie Qiao!

He's had feelings for me for so long

and didn't tell me.

It's not easy for him.

When we were 8,

we were playing Three Characters.

She straight up told me "I love you".

Is the other your initial ideal candidate

for your marriage?

Yes.

I always thought

Xie Qiao is not easy to marry.

So if it really comes down to this,

I have to take her under my wings.

No.

When I was young,

I only wanted to marry Xiaochuan.

Have you ever thought of breaking up?

With our relationship,

I would never think about that.

Yes, every time we fight,

If the other has an affair?

Is there any news

from Yang Cheng?

"The first time" you remember deeply?

I don't think I can go into details with that.

What kind of boring question is that?

No comment.

No comment.

Is there anything between you two

that you regret?

Qin Chuan's had feelings for me for so many years.

There must have be a lot times

that I didn't know he needed me.

I thought

if I could go back in time,

I would definitely be by his side

every moment.

I should've told Xie Qiao

that I have the deepest feelings for her

before other people.

In that case,

she would've been mine long ago.

I can give you a bold prediction

that you two

will be an item forever.

[Popular Singer Xiao Qianxi Rendezvoused with Her Boss, Chen Tianhe, returning to apartment together.]

Obviously,

these people have been following you for a long time.

Qianxi.

This has to be your competitor's doing.

What a big move.

You should think about

how to send out a statement.

The headlines of entertainment websites

are hogged by this news.

Can we make the story more simple?

Let's make an exclusive

to see if we can suppress it.

I'm not sure. I'll try my best.

No need.

Do you want to make it public?

No need to say anything.

It's entertainment.

Everyone likes to see new things.

If more explosive news comes out,

no one will talk about

a piece of expired news

that has no reply.

Lu Yu.

Is this real?

Of course.

Some time ago, didn't you wish

to run a PR company yourself?

This is my big gift for you.

Mr. Chen.

Are you still going to the party at Paixing?

Yes.

Everything proceeds normally.

It's Qiaoqiao, she probably saw the news.

[Xie Qiao]

[Xie Qiao]
