[We Are Young]

[Episode 5]

[D EH560]

Mine are all limited edition.

That's too bad.

It's a nice car, isn't it? I like it.

I even went to Shanghai

just to meet up with the buyer.

You even lost your way in The Bund.

Goodbye, baby.

I wanted to take a cab,
but you insisted on taking the subway.

I was trying to live a good life.

This feels like selling off
my own flesh and blood.

Then bail Rui out with your own money.

You can have it.

Sure I will.

I'll pack them for you.

Let's go.

Our group is not suitable to
establish online business.

Our investment in e-commerce fell through.

And now this?

We should just let it go.

We should focus on offline development

and stop messing around.

Our brick-and-mortar shops

will still be around after 20 years.

It's a safe bet.

The internet gets disrupted
every three to five years.

Who could deal with that?

Dad,

Uncle Shen,

shareholders.

Ran Ran, why are you here?

I know that

the board is going to
discuss the remaining issues of Rui.

I wish to take part in it too.

Ran Ran, about Rui Live,

the board is deliberating over it.

You stay out of it.

I have faith in it.

That's right.

I've put down six months
of rent for Rui.

1.6 million in total.

I have the confidence and the ability

to turn it around.

Where did you get the money?

I sold my car.

Therefore, I now make a formal request
to the board

that Rui Live be retained

with me at its helm.

How boastful!

It's good for Duan Ran
to have this thought.

Didn't you wish to retain Rui too?

However, Ran Ran,

Uncle Shen has a few questions for you.

-Go ahead.
-You just came back from the UK.

You aren't familiar with Rui either.

Why are you so optimistic about Rui?

Because someone told me

my future lies in Rui.

I've decided to change
the way Rui operates.

In the next six months, Rui will
match QE's offline results.

Okay. What if you fail?

If I fail...

If I fail,

I'll clean QE's washrooms.

Duan Ran, what makes you think
you can do it

when even Chen Lang can't?

We are different.

What's taking him so long?

It's fine, Mr Duan.

Don't undermine his confidence.

Directors, I suggest

we use Duan Ran's proposal

as a formal agenda for the board's

discussion.

See if we should give him a chance.

I knew Uncle Shen's always on my side.

Duan Ran,

we are having the board here.

It's not a place where you can
enter and leave freely.

Leave.

-Dad, I'm not finished yet.
-Go.

Okay.

This child...

How is it?

Why are you being so serious?

Did they agree to retain Rui?

I feel none of these people

believe in me,

especially my dad.

But Uncle Shen backed me up.

Uncle Duan didn't support you?

He didn't say that.

He just said

I'm no match for Chen Lang.

Chen Lang may be more experienced

and more professional than you are.

But you do have some strengths

that no one else does.

Which are?

You have yet to reach your full potential.

You just came back from the UK

with a major in economics.

Except for your investment banking
internship,

you have no experience

working in a business or a company.

This is your first
professional experience.

Your ideas and your effort

are vivid, fresh,

and full of passion.

Those are all Rui's values.

Do you understand?

Yes, I understand.

Today, Duan Ran's behaviour
was downright ridiculous.

What did you say?

Use his proposal as our agenda?

Mr Shen,

why did you side with him?

How am I being ridiculous?

I was completely fired up

by Duan Ran's passion.

Being young is great.

He has the passion and the ambition.

We should understand and support him.

But I'm worried.

That kid just got back from abroad.

He is unfamiliar with the domestic market,

including the state of this industry.

Moreover, he'll trip up sooner or later

with his nature and temper.

True.

Actually, I've thought about

Xi Xi, my foster daughter.

She is pragmatic

and hardworking.

I encouraged her to work at
Rui Live a year ago.

If she's willing to

help Duan Ran,

then I'll rest assured.

You've been thinking about this,

right?

Today, Duan Ran barged into
the boardroom.

As his biological dad,

it's tough for me to outright
side with him.

True.

Therefore, Mr Shen,

the reason I asked you over

is to ask you a favor.

About Rui Live,

I'm afraid that you'll have
to take charge of it.

You want me to be the bad cop,

while you be the good cop.

Mr Duan,

you're very smart.

Yu Shi is auditing the fixed asset.

Except for the unwanted

Mini Cooper,

all we have left are these heavy

and worthless things.

Duan Ran, do not throw away my photo.

Keep it in the office.

Keep it.

You know Chen Lang.

He won't let you take advantage of him.

Right.

It's better to empty the room anyway.

We can furnish it with new things

when Mr Duan Jr settles in.

Wait till I settle in.

I'll place all of my action figures here.

Wake up, okay?

Do you still have them?

Didn't you already sell them
to pay for this office?

Can't you talk about something cheerful?

What is this?

Xi Xi,

Mr Shen from QE is here.
He wants to meet both of you.

Yu Shi is taking him up here.

Yu Shi, you've worked hard.

How do you feel after leaving QE?

Thanks for your concern, sir.

Actually, as a treasurer,

I've been doing the same work
wherever I go.

Please wait for a moment,
I'll bring you some drinks.

I would like an iced cola.

No problem.

-Uncle Shen,
-Iced cola, is it?

Uncle Shen, you still drink

Coke with ice at your age?

What's wrong with that?

Do I have to drink
barley malt whiskey with wolfberry?

What's wrong with Uncle Shen
drinking cola?

Nothing.

Am I right?

You only live once.

Uncle Shen is still young.
He can drink whatever he wants.

Look at our Xi Xi, how smart.

Sure. People can drink whatever they like.

This old man still drinks cola?

In fact, that's all he drinks.

He doesn't like to drink
other carbonated drinks.

You even know about that?

I knew it when I was in QE.

Everyone knows.

Duan Ran,

I came here to meet you and Xi Xi

about the proposal that you
mentioned in the boardroom.

This made me cheer for you genuinely.

Thank you, Uncle Shen.

But to tell you the truth,

I'm kind of worried too.

I certainly understand.

Anyway,

it's been 20 years since I started up
the business with your father.

I've watched you grown up.

I feel a special bond

with you.

Uncle Shen, you can rest assured.

Uncle Shen, to tell you the truth,

I'm actually quite worried too,

because Duan Ran...

I'll support Duan Ran for sure.

But he has always been
clueless about money.

However, Duan Ran has
already made the pledge.

If he couldn't make it,
he will have to clean the washrooms.

Alright then, just let him
clean the washrooms.

Are you willing to let him do that?

She'd love to see me
clean the washrooms.

It's understandable

that Xi Xi's worried.

Therefore, I'm going to

meet you both today.

Xi Xi is pragmatic and hardworking.

She has basic sales experience

and is familiar with Rui.

She is perfect for a management position.

If you think I'm up to the task,

I'm willing to help him wholeheartedly

because he surely is impractical.

What do you mean "impractical"?

Don't you have some self-awareness?

Do I need to say it out loud?

I really have no idea.

Just tell me.

Do you really want me to say it?

Fine.

Have you returned the money

that I lent you two months ago?

Did I borrow money from you?

-Have you forgotten?
-Give me a break.

It's you who's been borrowing money
from me.

Alright. Alright.

We can see his sincerity and determination

when he tried to defend Rui
in the boardroom.

Uncle Shen, please trust me.

Of course, we trust you.

But there's something

I need to make it clear.

It takes more than passion

to run a business.

An understanding of the industry

and a grasp of current events

are important too.

Are you clear?

Sometimes, a decision that a manager makes

will determine the
life and death of a company.

No matter what,

you have to fully use every possibility

to improve and develop the company.

Rui's previous performance

has nothing to do with you.

Once you take over Rui,
you'll be starting from scratch.

What you take over is a

battered company.

If you wish to turn it into
the way you'd imagined,

you must give it all you've got.

Uncle Shen, so you're saying

QE will not be selling Rui
for the time being, right?

It might support you for a while.

-Go for it.
-Go.

Go for it.

Okay, Duan Ran,

once you sign the pledge,

you'll have to start working.

Six months isn't a lot of time.

I don't wish to see you
clean the washrooms,

especially the ladies' room.

Uncle Shen, you can rest assured.

I will not let you down.

Good.

-I'll walk you out.
-It's fine.

Starting now,

you should keep at it until you succeed.

Let Xi Xi walk me out.

Right, I need to work.

Xi Xi, walk Uncle Shen out for me.

-Let's go.
-Let's go.

Goodbye, Uncle Shen.

Bye.

Put them down.

That looks much better.

What's this?

Are you having them removed?

These paintings are so tasteless.

Besides, I like how the wall looks.

I've already thought about

how I'm going to renovate Rui
when I sold my car.

Rui is mine now.

You know, "taste" isn't something
you hang on the wall.

Remove and discard them.

What are you going to do tomorrow?

I think tomorrow,

I'll call for a meeting

in order to consolidate
the resources of the company.

Root out the key issues.

See what are the problems that

need to be solved urgently.

I'm talking to you.

I'm listening.

Let me tell you.

I was serious about everything I said

to Uncle Shen in the meeting today

After all, you just came back.

You're not familiar with the environment

here in China,

let alone the live streaming industry.

Have you really figured out

how to turn Rui around?

Although I've studied abroad
for a few years,

I still grew up in this environment.

Besides, I'm a STEM graduate.

I'm the best man for this job.

I can do this.

But you don't have field experience.

Moreover, you spend
money too liberally.

How can I believe that?

It's true that I don't have
field experience,

but you do.

You're not only experienced
but stingy, too.

Right?

Actually, being stingy is useful at times

and it is an advantage in business too.

Listen.

From now on,

you're this CEO's

most important right hand woman.

Where did you get that confidence?

Let me tell you this,
being overconfident is arrogant.

There's a difference between
confidence and arrogance.

I'm not arrogant.

I'm being ambitious.

As a man, especially a young man,

I must have ambition.

Get it?

If you don't even have ambition,

is there any difference between you

and this fish?

What's the difference?

There's a big difference.
I'm not a salted fish.

No difference.

I'll kick you.

Ran Ran's hotheaded.

Without Xi Xi to keep him
in check,

I'd be very worried.

Why would I put them in the same company

if not to create a bit of

competition between them?

For youngsters,

competing with each other

helps them grow.

In Mr Duan's mind and mine,

you are more suited

than Duan Ran to be Rui's CEO.

Why compete?

Listen, no matter what,

you can't put them together.

Actually, it's reasonable for Duan Ran

to hold the position of CEO.

As a person,

being ambitious is necessary at times.

I'm going.

Binding them tighter and tigher

together isn't going to end well.

Mark my words.

I'm being too naive.

I don't understand what Uncle Shen meant
at the beginning.

It's Uncle Duan who wants me to
compete with Duan Ran.

What are you going to do now?

I'll accept Uncle Shen's arrangement

and compete with Duan Ran
for the position of CEO.

Nothing wrong with that.

I support you. Come.

Do you really support me?

Don't high-five me yet.

Jia Yun, my dear babe.

You haven't looked for a job

since you left Baoqi.

If I wish to compete with Duan Ran,

are you willing to come over and help me?

I may be jobless now,

but I'm still busy.

You know, I've signed up
for a night class at Xiamen University.

It's about time.

I need to go.

You sit right there!

What's the matter?

Darting off just as I
asked you to join me.

What's that supposed to mean?

Look, Xi Xi.

Let me break it down for you.

Look, if you want to be the CEO,

your top priority

is to build your own team.

You need a team to hack away
through all the difficulties.

You need to have your own squad.

You are doing this all alone.

It won't work that way.

Anyway, you have a long way to go.

As your best pal, I'll still support you.

I have to go now.

Zhang Jia Yun, why are you leaving?

Didn't you say you'd support me?

You can't even handle me,

and you still want to become a CEO?

You have a long way to go.

Are you leaving me just like that?

Please take your time, Mr Shen.

The fact that Rui is back in business

is good news

for employees like you.

Of course, it's also
a direct result of your

persistence and hard work.

Thanks for the compliment.

But you need to read the situation.

The headquarters

came up with three terms

for your operations.

First, from today onwards,

Rui has to operate independently
and be self-financing.

The headquarters will not
support Rui in any form

or provide any subsidy.

This will cause a
lack of resources in Rui.

We're doomed.

Our last hope is dashed.

Second, they have set
a period of observation

which will be six months long.

If you are not able
to turn loss into profit,

the headquarters will
sell or transfer Rui.

Only six months, Mr Shen?

This is too short, Mr Shen.

This is what I got from bargaining

with the board of directors.

Three months was all we got at first.

What's the third condition?

Third is that the new CEO

will be chosen between Duan Ran and Xi Xi.

Both of you will compete fairly

to provide a business strategy

which can overcome Rui's current
difficulty as soon as possible.

The position of CEO will be given
to the one who did the best.

Why do we need a contest?

I'm okay with it.

Uncle Shen, I accept it.

It's not up to you.

I'm not okay with it.

I am the CEO,
what's with the selection?

What right do you have

to decide you are the CEO?

I think choosing the CEO

through a contest

is rather fair and reasonable.

Are you opposed to it

because you're scared even
before it began?

No, why would I be scared of you?

Then, stop talking nonsense.

-Listen to Uncle Shen.
-I...

Alright then, it's a deal.

Ran Ran, no objection is allowed.

We will decide based on the results

one month later.

What should we eat?

I'm craving for something sweet.

-Let's go.
-This looks good.

Hello.

What is this? It looks nice.

I think what Mr Shen is trying to do
is for your own good.

He's pitting you against Director Qian

to bring out your full potential.

Qian Xi Xi must be clued-in

on such a big decision.

No wonder she's been urging me

to keep Rui.

Where is the store?

Is it this store?

Yes.

Right.

Look.

You are the person assigned by QE.

You have to help me.

I still have you with me.

I'll help you for sure.

Let's sit outside?

We should sit inside.

It's sunny out there.

Why don't you eat it?

The burger here is authentic.

You couldn't get it in Xiamen,

only in Hong Kong.

Come on, don't waste it.

Xi Xi, eat slowly.
I'm not going to steal your food.

There are a lot of things to do
after this meal.

You still have the mood
to enjoy a burger?

No matter where we are,

we should enjoy life.

If not, what's the point in making money?

Are you worrying on my behalf?

I have no choice.

Since I've boarded your pirate ship,
I must go along with it.

What do you mean "pirate ship"?

Sorry, I mean big ship.

Big ship.

You

may not be as crafty as Su Su,

but you are sensible.

If you help me,

we take on Qian Xi Xi and Su Su

without any problem.

Xi Xi, you know something?

You look energetic all the time.

It's great.

You will be the CEO for sure.

Do you really think
I'm suited for this position?

Of course.

Compared to you, Mr Duan Jr...

First, he has no working experience.

Second, he is unfamiliar
with the operation.

Third, he never shows up
in the office.

How can he possibly win?

Once I become CEO,

you'll be the founding general.

Then, you'll realise that

following me

was the right decision.

Thank you, Mr Duan Jr.

I think Duan Ran will win.

I know he's capable.

But I'm also aware of my own strengths.

I'm thinking how I could

use my strengths against him.

You've never thought of

becoming a CEO?

It's true, I've never thought of it.

I thought about it after I went
home last night.

And I made this decision.

I thought, since I'm given a chance,

why not seize it?

That's right.

I thought Qian Xi Xi was going to

to lend me her hand.
I didn't expect

she'd be vying for CEO.

Then again, Director Qian
is quite capable.

If you aren't going to say
something nice,

just eat your burger.

Have you thought about

how you're going to run the company?

Recruit and stocktake.

Who would you hire?

It's a secret.

Mr Duan Jr, aren't you worried?

Do you know you have to
submit a business strategy this week?

Do you have any idea?

The brands that Rui offered
were too low-grade.

We have to think big.

Find some high-end brands.

Pineapple Xpress?

There's no hope for you.

High-end brands.

Entry luxury, at least.

Do you really think

stocktaking will give you
an idea for your business strategy?

I'm not sure,

but I think it's a way.

Or designer brands,

and make-up products,
skin care products.

These are our targets.

Chen Lang had thought about it
a long time ago.

But those brands hated our live streams.

It was Chen Lang who they hated,

not the live streams.

Besides, he can't

close a deal to save his life.

Eat your burger.

After Mum heard that
my company's boss had run away,

she urged me to change jobs
and go on blind dates.

I told her

our company is a subsidiary of QE Group,

with that we have a strong backer.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse.

With that, she finally
agreed to let me stay.

Relax, we will live.

Babe, I promise you that

I won't let you die of hunger,

at least not for the next six months.

These need to go in.

What look is this?

Keep the waistline tucked in.

It's got to pop.

This won't do.

No way.

We need to lengthen the laces

by at least 20 cm.

Mr Ma.

Duan Ran,

Your work place is nice.

I really admire you.

You just came back from the UK?

-Yes.
-Any advice?

What advice can I give?

After I came back,

I started a live streaming company.

I'm here to talk about collaboration.

What do you say to giving us
exclusive rights

to promote your products?

To tell you the truth,

Meiluozi is a high-end brand.

We have our concerns.

You see, we wouldn't want

the market to think
we're a cheap brand.

So...

We are old friends.

Don't give me that talk.

Your items only cost around 2000 yuan.

That's not high-end.

-You may go.
-Okay.

The rest of you, follow me.

Duan Ran,

not everyone is born with

a silver spoon in their mouths like you.

To many people,

2000 yuan is considered a lot of money.

Alright, alright.

Don't you have online shops?

We do have two online flagship stores.

And we have nothing against

live streaming platforms.

But because we're a high-end brand,

we're very particular about our streamers.

Who do you have?

We now have Qian Xi Xi,

Rui's leading lady

and the present head of streaming.

Qian Xi Xi?

From what I heard,
she's no match for Yuan Yuan.

Do you have others?

You don't understand.

Besides, why do you
want to know about this?

Duan Ran, it's not that
I don't want to help you.

When Chen Lang left Rui,

he did a live stream

and took away all of Rui's streamers.

Everyone knows that.

Qian Xi Xi is

all you have left now.

Without streamers,
how will you sell the products?

And if you can't sell products,
how can we collaborate?

Sort out your streamer problem first,

then we'll talk.

Okay?

-How did it go?
-He thinks he's so classy in his bathrobe.

This company is unreliable.

We are not going to collaborate with it.

Driver, let's go.

Hello.

How persistent you are,

working out here every day.

I wish I were as persistent as you.

I would've become a famous streamer.

I really don't understand.

Why are you so keen to be a streamer?

Facing a phone and
muttering to yourself everyday.

What's the point?

You are very annoying.

Do you know that?

You clearly don't enjoy being a streamer.

Yet you have so many fans,

so much traffic.

Look at me,

I've been working desperately everyday,

but I'm still an ordinary streamer.

It's not fair.

So, it's my fault?

Do you think you are the
only one suffering?

You may never become successful,

but at least

you're doing what you love.

Me?

I don't even know why I get up
in the morning anymore.

To make money?
I've made enough money.

There's nothing about streaming

that I would miss.

You are really annoying.

What do you want?

I want you to come back.

We've reorganised.

Come back and help me. What do you say?

My contract will expire
in less than a week.

I don't plan to renew it.

I don't want to be streamer anymore.

I'm changing careers.

Our company has just reorganised.

It's now a start-up.

Are you just going to walk away?

If I don't walk away now,
I may regret it for the rest of my life.

I knew I couldn't count on you
at this critical moment.

Think on the bright side.

With me gone, you might get
your place in the sun.

Now that's just mean.

Qian Xi Xi,

if you still can't succeed
while I'm gone,

I'll look down on you.

Rest assured.

I won't let you
have the chance to do that.

To tell you the truth,

I'm going to be the new

CEO of Rui Live soon.

Looks like not renewing the contract
is the right choice.

What do you mean?

Are you looking down on me?

Don't come looking for me

when you're jobless.

Mind your own business.

Come find me when you've lost.

I'll buy you dinner.

Good luck.

What's her problem?

Mr Duan Jr,

it's only a meeting.

Why are we making like "Infernal Affairs"

and meeting on the rooftop?

You're asking me?
Didn't you choose this place?

You chose a six-storey building
without an elevator.

I'm not an undercover cop.

[B2]

Are we there yet?

Almost there, almost there.

We really need to get fit.

We're there.

We're there.

-Wen Wen.
-Wen Wen.

Mr Duan Jr, Mr Li.

Long time no see.

Long time no see, Wen Wen.

Mr Duan, just get to the point,

I have to stream for the
entire afternoon.

I'm using my bathroom break

to meet you.

I need to rush back soon.

Alright, I'll make this quick.

I'm here to invite you to
return to the company.

To Rui.

Rui is different now.

-I'm the boss of Rui now.
-Yes.

If you are willing to come back,

you'll be entitled to a salary,

commission and bonus.

Thanks for the invitation, Mr Duan Jr.

But I heard

Chen Lang took away all the streamers

and the clients when he left.

Win some clients first,

then we'll talk.

We'll definitely represent more brands

-than ever before.
-Sure.

Besides, if you join us,

we'll take care of everything for you.

You can rest assured

that the benefits and salary here
will be much better.

Don't you trust me?

-I guarantee...
-Wen Wen, don't you need to work?

What are you doing?

What a surprise, young master.

Are you here to poach my talent?

What do you mean?

I'm here to chat with Wen Wen.

You call that poaching?

The nerve of you!

I could hear it all the way back there.

Why were you eavesdropping?

You are shameless.

Harsh words for someone who
snuck into my company

and...

-Don't do this.
-Let me ask you.

Can't we talk like civilised men?
This suit is expensive.

Mr Chen, we're leaving.

We're leaving.

You came here and now you're running away?

-Who says I'm running away?
-Stay here.

-Back off.
-Stay here.

-Back off.
-Stay here.

-Let's have a talk.
-Go, go.

Wait till you see Rui Live...

Something's wrong with this guy.

How is Rui now?

I'll ask Dad to buy this building
and tear it down tomorrow.

I really dislike it.

Why are you following me?

-Am I following you?
-Stop following me.

I'm waiting to see if you'll
steal my people again.

Alright, let him follow us.

See how long he can last.

Aren't you tired of this ?

-Who's tired?
-Why are you following me?

Why don't you stay here
and have a cup of tea?

You're like a huge fly,

buzzing behind us.

Your place has bad feng shui.

I don't like to stay here.

Wait, what....

What's wrong?

Looks familiar?

I bought a used car a few days ago

for my commute.

It's quite hard to drive.

Let's go.

Didn't I sell it to

a foreign collector?

Why do you have it?

The foreigner you mentioned

is a huckster.

He resold it to me.

Funny you should mention it.

It's the same thing with the streamers.

I now have your people and your car.

You've lost everything!

Okay, okay.

Mr Duan Jr, it's hot outside.

Mr Duan Jr.

Look here, Chen Lang...

Mr Duan...

This means war.

Alright, alright.

Alright, alright.

Mr Duan Jr, it's hot outside. Let's get in
the car where it's cool.

There's air-conditioning.

Let's go, Mr Duan Jr. Just let it go.

You're shameless!

Go.

Mr Chen, you need eight cameras

to cover every corner.

Eight? Is that enough?

Enough for this area.

Here, here, here.

And there.

And these two corners.

I want cameras in all of them.

-Okay.
-How dare he!

Waltzing into our company
and poaching our talent.

What's all this stuff?

Totally useless.

What is this?

This denim shirt will do.

Babe, come and take a look.

Su Su, check out this shirt.

Doesn't it look like the one

in "Brokeback Mountain"?

So trendy and cool.

You can't even see your waist in that.

It's nothing like "Brokeback Mountain".

It's leftover stock, after all.

That's why it's sloppy.

But we can focus on the fabric.

Look,

it may not be soft,

but it's sturdy, durable.

No. It has to look fetching.

No.

Say, we have all this leftover stock.

That's at least 3000 pieces

of shirts and jeans.

If we dump them at low prices,

won't we make a lot of money?

These are practically rags.

How much can they sell for?
