Ruoxin.

What did Mr. Liu say?

Refunds and public apologies.

Who signed with him?

It was Xiaowang.

Could he be…

Don't worry.

I'll protect him.

I'll report to Mr. Xu later.

I'm sure there's a way.

Okay.

Let's go.

So the New Energy Department
was set as an example?

What example?

I think it was on purpose.

What do you mean?

The charging station problem
could be nothing.

But everything is up to Mr. Liu.

If he really wants to press it down,

he could have given the owner a discount.

You can ask Sijia.

Everyone knows that
Mr. Liu and Ms. Shen have issues.

What's going on?

Ruoxin is so unlucky.

Are you still trying to figure it out?

Life.

When you're happy,

it'll hit you in the face

to keep you awake.

Let me ask you one thing.

What is it?

Won't you trust me

just because I'm younger?

I was worried about age

not because I didn't trust you.

You're nice and responsible.

I'm just concerned
about the age difference.

I was hesitant.

Then you have to keep trusting me.

Have something sweet.

Don't worry.

RESIGNATION LETTER

QI XIAO

Mr. Liu.

As you know,

Ms. Shen was hospitalized a while ago.

I was in charge

of the promotion
of the new energy vehicle.

It was all on me.

Now that I think about it,
I was too inexperienced.

That's why the problem occurred.

Ms. Shen did nothing wrong.

Ms. Shen is usually very responsible.

Why did she

push you to take the fall?

No. This isn't Ms. Shen's idea.

Qi Xiao.

You're well-educated.

You're also diligent at work.

You know what the problem is?

You followed the wrong person.

Mr. Liu.

I'm an adult.

I know what's right and wrong
about my choice.

It was entirely my own choice.

No one else's business.

Besides, this incident

was the result of my mistake.

So I have to take the blame for it.

I'll take responsibility and resign.

I can also do a public apology.

Okay, I agree.

APPROVE APPLICATION

APPROVE APPLICATION,
SIGNATURE: LIU PEI

The client was really emotional.

But I think we can still find a way.

Liu Pei has reported this to headquarters.

The installation company
doesn't have a better solution.

We can't solve the biggest problem.

So the headquarters want to follow

Liu Pei's plan first.

They are more concerned about brand image.

It's for the bigger picture.

You have to understand.

This is clearly an installation problem.

Now, Mr. Liu is trying
to put the blame on my team.

He wants us to resign

and apologize publicly.

That's too unfair.

Do you have a better idea?

Let's take care of this first.

You might have another chance.

Do you understand?

Yes, Mr. Xu.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

I quit.

The whole issue regarding Ms. Chang

is my responsibility.

I should be the one to resign.

I already sent my apology letter
to the PR Department.

If she has any more demands,

I'll do it too.

What did you do wrong?

What do you need
to take responsibility for?

Why are you taking the fall?

I said I'll take care of it.

Hey, don't be angry.

I know you'll find a way to fix this.

But now,

this is the most efficient way.

We won't lose a lot.

Did you get my permission?

I've talked to Mr. Liu.

He has already signed
my resignation letter.

Get your things and come with me.

Are you still mad?

This is a serious matter.

You didn't discuss it with me
before you make a decision.

Weren't you being too impulsive?

I know you're frustrated.

My resignation means
our department is taking the blame.

I let Liu Pei win.

But if I don't do this,

he won't give in that easily.

Do you think I care about Liu Pei?

He has nothing to do with me.
I only care about you!

I can't even protect you.

Do I have to let you do it?

I feel useless!

All right.

Don't be mad.

You don't have to feel guilty.

I was thinking about quitting anyway.

Didn't you want me to do what I like?

I went to see Zhu Lin the other day.

We talked about starting
a business together.

I didn't tell you
because we weren't sure yet.

Look. I solved two problems
at the same time.

Killing two birds with one stone, right?

You've figured it all out.

I'm sorry.

In the future,

I'll discuss everything with you.

Okay?

But you have to do
what you've always done.

You have to trust me.

All right.

Smile.

Give me a smile.

I don't need to get up early from now on.

This is awesome.

Good morning.

It might rain today,
so don't forget your umbrella.

I know.

Why are you up so early?

Being the first to say "good morning"

is my responsibility as a boyfriend.

Hi, beautiful.

Last night was a starry night.

Were you too lonely to sleep?

Did you miss me?

Not really.

I looked through the files
on the charger last night.

I dreamed of electricity and wires.

How boring.

It's too early to talk about work.

I'm finally not your assistant anymore.

Can I just quietly be your boyfriend

and do nothing else?

Then my quiet boyfriend,

what are your plans now?

Did you talk to Zhu Lin?

I'm already on it.

It's not a big deal. So don't worry.

But I still feel guilty.

I feel like

I owe you.

Instead of saving you,
you're the one who has to take the fall.

There you go again.

You should be happy for me.

You encouraged me

to do what I really like, didn't you?

I have the chance to do that now.

I'm happy.

You should be happy too, okay?

How much will you need

to start that online shop with Zhu Lin?

You're worried about that?

I've been thinking about this for a while.

I saved money every month.

Besides my rent and living expenses,

I gave half

of my monthly pay to my mom

and I saved the other half.

I've thought about it before.

One day, when you agree to be with me,

I definitely have to resign.

Whether I find another job

or start my own business,

I must have some savings, right?

Didn't I plan it well?

Aren't I very smart and reliable?

How much did you make per month?

You have to give your mom money

and pay the rent.

How much can you save up?

Starting a business costs a lot.
Do you have enough? Don't lie to me.

Don't worry.

The government supports
young entrepreneurs now.

We're already looking
into policies and protocols.

We can get a loan without interest.

We'll figure it out.

Promise me.

No matter what hardships come your way,

don't hide it from me.

I can face any hardships.

I even managed to get you.

What a smooth talker.

If you really feel like you owe me,

pay me back tonight then.

You wish.

You're still as conservative as ever.

I mean

I made plans for tonight.

What were you thinking?

Tonight, after work,

come to Zhu Lin's place.

Let me be your boyfriend

and surprise you.

A good surprise or a bad one?

I can't tell you yet.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a surprise.

Anyway, don't work overtime.

Come and find me earlier.

Okay.

But miss…

If I want to do something else,

would it be impossible?

Just eat your food.

ZHU LIN'S FASHION DESIGN STUDIO

I should really thank Ruoxin.

If she didn't agree to it,

I'd still have to wait for you.

I was wondering

why you asked me about the loan.

It won't be a loss for you
to wait for me forever.

To be honest,

we really need to plan this carefully.

If we work together,

you can't just add to my designs.

You'll have to make
your own accessory set.

Preferably approachable ones.

It'll help with the sales.

That's what I thought.

And you can't rely on
your friends' recommendations.

Resources are limited.

We have to make an online shop.

An online shop?

I don't know.

You've done it before.

Then you handle it. I'll coordinate.

No problem.

There are two parts to it.

One is the cost of shop design.

The other one is for the operation.

Online and offline.

Let's do the numbers first.

Then I can apply for
the interest-free loan.

No problem.

By the way,

I've prepared a workshop for you.

What do you think? I'm sincere, right?

You're so efficient.

Ruoxin is here.

I'll let you two talk. I'll get going.

-Thank you.
-Bye.

Bye.

Miss, do you want to check out

my future workshop?

Are you already done?

I have a rough idea.

Let's go and take a look. Let's go.

Here. This is it.

Let me tell you my ideas.

In the future,

I will put my desk here.

And here, I want a really big mirror.

It'll seem more spacious.

But this mirror has to be well-designed.

What do you think?

That's good.

What are you thinking about?

You're about to start your new life.

There's an empty seat at the office.

I still can't get used to it.

So you missed me.

I just need the HR Department

to get me a new assistant.

Only females. No males.

If I think about how you'll be working

with someone else instead of me,

I won't be able to take it.

Fine.

I'll tell them I want a female assistant.

That's better.

Miss, do you want to guess

my plan for later?

I don't want to guess.

I won't guess.

I just want a debrief.

Boss.

I've made a reservation
at a popular restaurant.

And they have…

I'm sorry.

It's the office.

Hello.

Hello, Ruoxin.

I just sent you the client's information.

They are in the process of installing

and going to install the charger.

I'm coming.

I'll tell you the priority.

Contact these clients as soon as possible.

I guess we have to cancel it.

Give me some time.

I'll take care of it, okay?

I knew it.

Even though I left,

the charging station problem
wasn't solved.

Liu Pei and Ruan Ye
will do anything to get to you.

Now that I've left,

I'm worried about you.

Why are you talking like an old person?

You sound like my mom.

Don't worry.

I won't give them the chance.

About the charging station,

I'm sure they'll set you up again.

Have you found a solution?

Can I help you with anything?

I have a plan.

You should worry about yourself first.

After I solve this problem,

I'll find a way to fight back.

I'll show them

why they shouldn't look down on me.

I'll prove to them

that they messed with the wrong person.

How assertive.

I'm smarter than them.

I never messed with you

and I never will in the future.

Am I that scary?

I won't mess with you

because I'll love you even more
in the future.

You can't take that back.

Never.

I don't think we can go

to that restaurant tonight.

I still have a lot of emails to check.

And there's also
a video conference call later.

It's okay.

We'll both do our work.

I need time to sort my ideas out.

But before that,

do you want to see the gift?

What gift?

Hold on.

I know.

Although

this diamond is a bit small,

I'll give you one every year.

And I promise,

every year,

the diamonds will get bigger.

Qi Xiao.

This isn't why I'm with you.

You just started your own business.

You'll need the money.

So tomorrow,

return this necklace.

I know you're not vain.

But I just want to prove

that I can give you the best.

The best thing you can give me

is right here.

And this.

To me, these are

more important than diamonds.

Su Yang.

Come here.

-What's wrong?
-Take a look at this.

Which one do you like better?

Aren't you going to sell
that popular bracelet?

Well, I was going to

and I think it'll sell well.

But that one

lacks a designer icon.

Tiffany comes to mind
when you think of the key.

For four-leaf clovers,

you'll think of Van Cleef & Arpels.

So we need to make our own brand
known to people first.

That's ambitious.

I like this one.

But my opinion doesn't matter.

I'm not your customer.

You can ask Ruoxin.

She's busy with work.

I don't want to bother her.

Why don't you ask Sijia?

She's a girl.

She might like accessories.

-I'll go wash up then.
-Okay.

HELP ME. WHICH ONE DO YOU PREFER?

QI XIAO

Hello, Qi Xiao.

I don't like

any of the ones you sent me.

When you're choosing a piece of jewelry,

what would you usually go for?

I think for women,

if it's just pretty,

it might be left forgotten
in the jewelry box soon.

Usually, people will choose the ones

with implications or symbols.

For example,
I saw a pair of earrings once.

The design was interesting.

The design was sound waves.

The left one says, "I love you."

The right one says, "forever."

If combined, it's "I love you forever."

They are earrings.

You can customize them.

Since everyone's voice is different,

you have to record your boyfriend's voice

and send it to the shop owner.

They are fully booked in a month.

I see.

You mean,

if there's a meaning to the jewelry,

girls might like it more, right?

But it needs to have my mark on it

and it needs to be symbolic too.

It's a bit difficult.

Shouldn't you be inspired?

You're so lovey-dovey with Ruoxin.

You must be feeling inspired right now.

You're right.

Okay, I'll think about it. Thank you.

Don't worry about it.

HOW TO CHARGE

CHARGING STATION CUSTOMER SERVICE

Mr. Xu, are you busy?

I have something to discuss with you
regarding work.

The thing is,

I'd like to talk to my team tomorrow

and visit our clients door-to-door.

We'll ask them
about the use and installation.

I plan on starting
with our recent clients.

But after counting,

we're a little shorthanded right now.

So I was wondering

if you can ask the headquarters

to lend us three people

for just a few days?

Yes.

I'll arrange it now.

They'll be there tomorrow.

Great. Thank you, Mr. Xu.

Ruoxin.

This is a good idea.

But you have to contact the PR Department
and arrange the interview.

Don't worry. I've already contacted them.

I know I can trust you.

Liu Pei will cause trouble.

I knew it when I left.

It's a no-brainer.

He must have
a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

You're very enduring.

I've never heard you complain.

When you're tired of him

and want to be at the headquarters…

I've told you this before,

you can just ask me.

He's the leader after all.

If he gives me a hard time,

I'll just deal with whatever comes my way.

It's work.

There's always a different problem.

I can't keep running away.

If I run away,

he might get someone else instead.

Isn't that right?

Shanghai is our major market after all.

I must defend our home ground.

There'll always be solutions.

You're a heroine.

Good luck.

Thank you, sir. I'll do my best.

Bye.

Say something.

Hold on, Boss.

After the news was released,

more people have come to ask
about the new energy.

No matter how our salespeople

tried to compare it to traditional cars,

we couldn't change their minds.

The people who are looking for
new energy vehicles…

It's like they have been brainwashed.

Besides, our salespeople

can only give them hints.

But we can't go too far.

If the New Energy Department finds out,

that'll be bad.

Okay, I got it.

Do what you have to do. You may leave.

Okay, I'll get going then.

Go ahead.

What are you doing here?

Mr. Liu.

Did you see the satisfaction rate?

It's this big.

How can I not see?

Mr. Liu, Shen Ruoxin made her comeback.

She'll only get more arrogant now.

During the last meeting,

the way she talks…

It's like she's on the same level as you.

Liu Pei.

You were too softhearted.

That's why she didn't get fired.

And now?

Your problem has grown bigger.

Tea.

You're great now, aren't you?

You're telling me how to do things.

Liu Pei, you…

What are you talking about?
I wouldn't dare!

We can't touch her now.

Xu Minjie will defend her.

We have to find a way.

So that even Xu Minjie
won't be able to save her.

He wouldn't do this for a woman.
He has his concerns.

This is a large company.

He's risking his career and his prestige

to protect Shen Ruoxin.

He has to think if it's worth it or not.

If you come across any problem,

please call us right away.

Thank you so much.

I didn't expect that you'd come here.

I thought after selling us the car,
you wouldn't care anymore.

I have a colleague

who bought a new energy vehicle.

It's from another company.

It took forever because of the charger.

What a pain.

Good thing I bought the car from you.

It's our mission
to take care of our clients.

Don't worry.

We'll keep perfecting
our after-sales service.

You can give us feedback.

Our service is open 24 hours a day.

That's great.

Thank you again.

I'll leave you to it.

-Okay.
-Take care.

-Bye.
-Take care.

Bye.

Ms. Shen, you should go and rest too.

It's the last one today.

We'll follow up with the clients.

You don't have to do it yourself.

Customer service is very important.

We mustn't slack off.

You've been working hard lately. Let's go.

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

-Hello?
-Are you at the workshop?

I'm finally done with work today.

No, Zhu Lin is busy today.

I didn't go.

My female warrior,

what do you want to eat today?

I'll make you a delicious meal.

I want Sichuan boiled fish and mapo tofu.

I want to eat spicy food
so much right now.

We're telepathic.

I just bought some fish today.

You gluttonous cat.

Really?

I'll go home now.

Let's have a feast.

Okay. Drive safely.

You're already home?

Dinner is ready.

Ms. Zhou.

What's happening?
The smell is suffocating me.

Qi Xiao.

Why are you in my house?

Where's Shen Ruoxin?

Ruoxin.

She went downstairs to buy something.

She doesn't know how to make boiled fish.

So I came up here to do it for her.

When this girl comes up here,

I will give her a good scolding.

Between business and personal life,

this is a serious violation.

Why--

Why are you so easy to be manipulated?

Why would you do
whatever she asks you to do?

Ms. Zhou.

I'm happy to help Ruoxin.

Besides, it's my job.

It's burning me up.

The range hood is turned off.

I got it.

Ms. Zhou, get some rest. I'll do it.

-Turn it on.
-Okay.

I'm back.

Mom.

You're all dressed up
just to go buy things?

My co-worker asked for a document,

so I went out.

And I have a headache,

so I bought some painkillers.

You don't even have
medicine for headaches?

I'll buy it for you at the pharmacy.

No, Mom.

It's convenient to buy stuff downstairs.

-Xinxin.
-Yes?

If you want to eat something, tell me.

Don't bother Qi Xiao with it.

You're wasting his time.

Ms. Zhou, it's fine.

It didn't take long.

I want to eat fish.

-He happened to have bought one.
-Yes.

So I thought

it's convenient.

He bought the fish?

-Yes.
-Did you pay for it?

Qi Xiao, I'll pay for it via WeChat.

Ms. Zhou.

It has been paid.

Right?

Yes, through WeChat.

You already paid?

-Yes, I did.
-She did.

That's good.

Anything else?

No, it's nothing.

Your mom told me

that you don't even like spicy food.

Why are these two dishes so spicy?

Right, Ms. Zhou.

I've prepared something not spicy

downstairs.

I'll go downstairs then.

Enjoy your meal.

Go and see your mom when you have time.

She really wants to take
my calligraphy class.

But it's full for this semester.

I'll keep a spot for her next semester.

Okay. Thank you, Ms. Zhou.

Bye, Ms. Zhou.

-Mom, I'll walk him out.
-Okay.

Take care.

Qi Xiao, thank you for everything.

Don't mention it, Ruoxin.

Thank you for today.

How pathetic.

That was unlucky.

Do you want to go out and eat?

Forget it.

I just ate.

Did she leave?

Yes.

She needs some documents.

I helped her and printed it for her.

That was terrifying.

What are you afraid of?

Are you feeling guilty?

My mom won't eat you.

You're making me nervous.

Our relationship has changed.

I wasn't prepared.

It was too sudden.

It felt like
we're getting caught red-handed.

-Hello.
-Hello, Ruoxin.

It's about the additional clause
we asked the Legal Department to draft.

Mr. Ruan just told me.

This clause should still be covered by us

because the new energy vehicles
are more complicated

than the fuel vehicles.

He thought they might overlook something.

So any possible problem that may occur

and the responsibility,

we have to make them clear
in the additional clauses.

He also said that

you were a legal officer before.

You'll know what to do with these terms.

He just doesn't want to take
the responsibility.

It's supposed to be their job.

What should I tell him?

Just tell them

to make a draft and I'll revise it.

Okay.

What's wrong?

Did Ruan Ye cause trouble again?

He's just a brownnoser.

He knows that Liu Pei is picking on us.

So he's taking every chance
to give me more trouble.

But don't worry.

Since you told him last time

that Liu Pei will retire in two years,

he wouldn't dare to go too far.

I should just mind my own business.

Liu Pei is the manager after all.

It's his territory.

If he's after you,

it must be hard for you.

I wish he'd retire soon.

There must be another way.

I already have something in mind.

Their domineering will come to an end.

Are you serious?

So you're the famous

Lady Wei Yingluo.

Yingluo.

Look, your mom already went home.

We don't have to eat out anymore.

Let's eat at your place, okay?

We can't.

I have work to do.

You're already leaving?

Hello, Mr. Xu.

I'd like to report our status to you.

Nicely done, Ruoxin.

You solved a public relations crisis.

And our new energy vehicle
has gained popularity in the market.

Good job.

Thank you for what you did.

You sent help from the headquarters.

After what happened,

I've thought about it a lot.

About how to develop
the follow-up for our department.

I want to have
a detailed conversation with you.

Okay. Tell me.

We'll start with
the new energy vehicle sales.

New energy vehicles are very different.

Our salespeople understand everything
about our new energy vehicles.

If the sales are mixed up,

they will affect each other

and lead to mistakes.

It will eventually become
a management chaos.

So what do you suggest?

We can split it into two.

First, the traditional sales.

Mr. Liu can still be in charge of it.

As for our department,

we can set up our own sales department.

We can ask the headquarters
to send another manager.

That's an interesting suggestion.

How about this?

In tomorrow's meeting,

I'll mention it to everyone.

Thank you, Mr. Xu.

Next is about

the Legal Department in Shanghai.

They're used to working with Mr. Liu

on the business of traditional vehicles.

They don't really understand
the new energy vehicles.

We have difficulties
working with each other.

So I think there are two solutions.

Either we improve their skills

or we'll hire new legal officers

who specialize in
our new energy vehicle contracts.

I'll think about that.

Thank you, Mr. Xu.

There's nothing else.

Ruoxin.

You know exactly what the problems are.

Your solutions are viable

and also effective.

I was right about you.

Good luck.

I'll keep working hard.
