How about

we rent a printer?

Rent?

Isn't that risky?

We can ask about it

on the market.

Let's see which companies

have spare printers.

We can rent one

to test the product first.

If we manage

to make a physical cage,

the financing will be easier.

OK.

I'll talk to those companies

that I contacted.

OK. I'll consult my familiar companies, too.

No problem. Keep each other informed.

Sure.

OK, OK.

I get it.

If your company

has an idle printer,

please contact me.

Thank you so much.

So that's it. Bye-bye.

Zhizhou.

I made contact with Hengwei Technology.

They have an idle printer

that may be rented.

That's great.

In an hour, I'll visit them

and talk about details.

Has our contract been modified?

Yes. Have a look.

Xing, I ordered some takeout for you.

Eat some.

Thanks.

(Li Li)

Hello, Li Li.

Hi, Xing.

A client of mine does investments.

I told him about your company.

He's interested.

I invited him to lunch.

Come quickly.

Now?

But I have a very important meeting.

Can you ask your client

to take a rain check?

What are you thinking?

I can't, of course.

He's on a business trip tomorrow and won't be available.

If you really can't spare the time,

send your partner.

OK. I'll send Zhizhou.

If you need anything, call me.

OK. I'll send you the address.

OK. Bye-bye.

- Zhizhou... - I heard you. I'll go.

All right. Let's split up.

OK.

I should go.

Oh, Xing. Your food.

Fine. I'll eat it on my way.

I'll hold it tighter next time.

OK. Be careful.

Li Li,

thanks for introducing an investor.

It's not a problem.

You're welcome.

Glad to have you here.

It's the first investor I see

on behalf of our company.

Without you, I'd be nervous.

Don't be nervous.

Mr. Wu isn't the devil.

Just relax.

Sorry.

A client held me up.

Mr. Wu, this is Su Zhizhou.

My junior in college.

Hope you'll help him.

Mr. Wu, nice to meet you.

I will.

Li Li, your business is mine.

Li Li, go buy me a bottle of sparkling water.

My favorite one.

OK.

Hey, Mr. Wu.

Please take the seat of honor.

Let's eat and talk.

I don't know what food you like.

Don't bother. Let's just talk.

Come and sit.

Su, huh?

Let me be honest.

Without Li Li's introduction,

I usually wouldn't see someone

from a company like yours

without fame, funds, or products.

Mr. Wu, let me explain.

Our analog product

has been worked out.

When the printer is ready,

we'll make the physical product soon.

This is our business proposal.

Please review...

Sorry, Mr. Wu. I...

This is it. Please review it.

(Business Proposal)

Su.

It's a good thing

for young people to be passionate.

But to start a company, you should work hard

instead of pulling a few strings only.

I used to develop very hard.

I know exactly what situation you're in.

But you know

I have such a big company.

Before investing,

I need to think seriously.

Thanks for your advice, Mr. Wu.

Mr. Wu, the investment...

Seven million

for 20% of the stock.

Think about it.

20%...

Mr. Wu, I don't think 20% is...

Not until you think it over.

The conversation is over already?

Won't you have lunch?

He's worried about the price.

I'll let him think about it.

Sorry, Li Li.

Mr. Wu, sorry for taking your time.

Anyway, your offer

is really far

from what we expected.

We're a startup company.

We must be more careful

with every step we take.

Hope you can understand.

Have your boss talk to me.

Li Li,

let me take you somewhere great.

You can eat and drink there.

You can sing karaoke

and even take a bath.

Have some water.

Mr. Wu, how about you rethink about it?

Their company has a lot of potential.

OK. Whatever you say.

Wu Lanxiang!

What are you doing here?

So, you've been flirting around

with this vixen, huh?

It's daytime. Aren't you ashamed?

Honey, it's not what you think it is.

- We just... - Mrs. Wu.

Your husband is only my client.

We're in no other relationship.

He put his arm around you.

You think I'm blind?

Honey.

It's her. She seduced me just to fill orders!

- I... - Cheeky!

How dare you slap me?

Believe it or not, I'll complain

about you and get you fired!

Shut up!

Your affair with some woman

has nothing to do with me.

I won't take the blame!

Just now, you put your arm around me

and I let it go.

Now, you even want to slander me?

You're just trash!

- You... - And you.

If you like

such a trash husband,

keep him to yourself.

I...

Trash!

Li Li, are you OK?

Do I look like I'm not OK?

I know you feel badly treated.

How about you cry out?

I'm here for you.

I promise I won't tell anyone.

Why would I cry?

His marriage is trash

and he does poor investments.

Don't you think

he should cry?

It makes sense.

All right. I'm going to relax.

Shall I go with you?

No need.

Zhizhou, you go back alone.

Stay safe.

Stay safe?

She cares about me.

(Ji Xing)

Hello, Xing.

Zhizhou, Hengwei offered a harsh price.

The deposit is 800,000.

The monthly rent is 70,000.

We also have to pay

for daily maintenance.

Xing, my conversation with Mr. Wu

didn't go smoothly, either.

Never mind. Let's find another way.

OK.

Li Li, drive safe.

You stay safe, too.

Indeed, we should stay safe.

She's gorgeous.

Pretty, are you alone? Join me, huh?

I'm in a bad mood. Sorry.

People come here

for a better mood, don't they?

Let me give you some fun.

Hot girl.

Today is my treat, OK?

Let's be friends.

It hurts.

People are here for fun.

Don't ask for trouble.

Just you wait.

Thanks.

Won't you buy me a drink?

No problem.

Oh, Mr. Xiao.

Why do you not come to me?

Take my table, will you?

No.

I have an appointment now.

With your friend?

Maybe next time.

Shall we drink?

I don't want a drink now.

I'll leave you alone.

Dance with me.

(Director Zhang)

Director Zhang, what's up?

Here's the thing.

I'm asked to tell you to have some days off.

These days,

you don't need to come to work.

Are you giving me a vacation

or are you trying to fire me?

No, no, no.

Sales guys like you

have been working overtime.

There's little business before the New Year.

So, I want you to have some days off.

Director Zhang,

it's not my first day at work.

Everybody knows this is the busy season.

There's no point

beating about the bush.

Because Mr. Wu complained about me, huh?

I'll quit.

But figure out

the commission you owe me

and transfer it in time.

Otherwise, I'll apply for labor arbitration.

So cool, huh?

You know

if I'm really cool.

I paid for the room.

Give me your contact.

We'll meet if we're destined to.

Coming.

Xing,

happy fourth anniversary.

Thanks.

Happy fourth anniversary.

(Back, Eager)

(Don't Be Afraid of the Wind)

Ms. Jin performs once a year.

If we didn't come,

she would complain about us to Grandpa.

Nice. Xing, move left.

- A full-body photo. - Left?

- Left? - Yes.

This will do.

Ji Xing.

Miss Zeng. Mr. Han.

What a coincidence!

Who is this?

This is my boyfriend Shao Yichen.

Yichen, this is Miss Zeng from Guanghua.

Mr. Han from Dongyang Medical.

Nice to meet you.

During your years of work,

I have never seen him before.

Did you just start a relationship?

We've been together for four years.

So sweet.

The play is about to start.

Let's get in.

We should get in, too.

We can go this way.

Now, young people start a company as if they play a game.

Xingchen Technology.

Ji Xing and Shao Yichen.

If they break up someday,

how will the company end up?

Since when did you care

so much for a former employee?

Ji Xing worked for me for years.

It's normal that I care for her.

Sorry.

Let's go.

Over there.

We haven't watched a drama for long.

Here.

Yes. Be seated.

Give me your scarf.

The other end.

You do better now.

You managed to remain calm.

Look. When you met your former boss,

you were tolerant, right?

I have basic manners.

But I'm upset, anyway.

Because she deducted my project bonus.

Xing, your former boss

is here with Mr. Han.

Is he the man

who gave you the offer to Dongyang Medical?

I felt he gave me

a hostile look.

That's his look at everyone.

Or it wouldn't be him.

He gave you an offer, after all.

Don't say that.

(Su Zhizhou)

Hello, Zhizhou.

Oh, Xing.

Are you in the theater?

Yes. What's up?

Sorry.

I didn't mean to disturb you and Yichen.

But it's really an emergency.

A senior of mine

does equipment purchasing in Hanhai.

He said one of their printers

could be rented

due to business adjustments.

But if we want to rent it,

we have to first pay the deposit

as soon as possible.

Because a lot of people want that.

Do we have to decide now?

Yes. He's only available for the moment.

I'll go over to you, then.

I'll send you the location.

OK. Bye.

Sorry, Yichen.

You know my company

can't afford a printer.

Now, we finally get a chance

to rent one.

If we miss the chance, it'll be gone.

It's really unexpected.

But I... I have to...

Go ahead.

It's so sweet of you.

After you watch it,

tell me about the story.

- OK. - I'll go to you when I'm done.

- Stay safe. - I will.

(First-floor Stall, Odd Number)

(Wei Qiuzi)

Hello, Qiuzi.

Yichen.

What happened?

Huang, could you please

make it a little cheaper?

The deposit is 500,000,

not one penny less.

You know how expensive a printer is.

A deposit is really necessary.

But the monthly rent is low.

Unless you break the printer,

you can get the deposit back.

That's right. But can you make it...?

Su,

I've given you a discount on rent.

Do you know how many people try to rent it?

If you and I weren't so close,

I wouldn't be talking to you first.

That's right.

Look. Someone's calling again.

Hello, Mr. Xu.

Yes, yes. I know.

Don't worry. I'm still figuring things out.

Is he reliable?

In college, he and I were in the same club.

He helped me a lot.

I'm sure he works for Hanhai.

I read his post when he started to work.

The point is

500, 000 isn't...

It isn't a small amount.

And on our account,

there's only a hundred thousand.

- We... - Xing,

how about we try

borrowing some money

to rent the printer?

Here's what I'm thinking.

When we rent a printer and make a product,

our financing will be easier.

It's the best we can do now.

Hello. It's 22,000 in total.

How will you pay?

Through WeChat.

OK.

Wait a minute.

(Ji Xing)

Hello, Xing.

Li Li.

We want to rent a 3D printer

but don't have enough money.

Can you lend me some?

OK. How much do you want?

How about 100,000?

OK. I'll give it to you now.

Love you.

I'll pay you back soon.

Come on. Don't disgust me.

Take it as my investment in you,

the future technical heavyweight.

Sorry. I won't take all these.

No problem.

We look forward to your next visit.

You're bound to be the store manager.

Thanks.

I'm way too busy.

Have you made up your mind?

If you still can't decide,

I'll rent it to someone else.

Huang, we thought about it

and we'll accept.

But

we'll sign the contract with Hanhai.

This isn't the normal channel.

To our company,

it's OK to have an idle printer.

It won't be rented.

Well, either you sign the contract with me

or you just give up.

When you're so indecisive,

you'd better not do business.

Huang, wait.

Come on. We'll sign it.

- Sit, Huang. - Chill.

Here.

The contract in duplicate.

But now,

we can only give you half the money.

When the printer is delivered in three days,

we'll give you the other half.

Is that OK with you?

OK.

For Su's sake,

I'll accept this.

Thank you so much.

There you go.

(Ji Xing)

Why are you playing basketball so angrily?

She has a boyfriend.

Ji Xing?

What are you talking about?

She has a boyfriend?

It's OK that she has a boyfriend.

She isn't married, anyway.

You know what?

Ji Xing has worked out the analog product.

If you still don't take action

and she accepts another investor,

you'll really not have even a single chance.

But as long as you invest in her,

she'll be your employee.

What do you mean?

Stay close and take advantage.

Bad idea.

Xing, before Huang left, he said

the delivery of the printer

would take only two days.

That'd be great.

It's wise of you to think

of paying in two batches.

Otherwise, we wouldn't

have enough money.

Well, when the printer is delivered,

I'll talk to Huang

and try to avoid

the other half of the deposit.

Will it work?

I'll just try.

You keep track of the printer.

I'll take care of the money thing.

Don't worry.

Hope everything will go smoothly.

Hope so.

OK. It's done.

Thank you, sir. See you.

What? What have you lost?

It's OK. Just some bags.

And one laptop.

Glad you're all right.

The police came and recorded it.

The lock is changed, too.

If you're still worried,

you can stay in the hotel tonight.

Thank you, Yichen.

I was too scared just now.

My mind went blank

and then I called you.

Now, I think I shouldn't have done that.

I wonder

if I disturbed you and Xing.

No. She's too busy.

I don't have things to do today.

Xing just started her company.

She has to be very busy.

You...

Do you regret supporting her?

Anyway, she works really hard.

A girl like me can't stand

living a life of hers.

If I marry my beloved man

and live a simple life,

I will be satisfied.

Maybe she's made the right choice.

I just...

I'm confused now.

Yichen, have some tea.

Thanks.

You're going

to propose to Xing, right?

How do you know?

Me?

I'm going

to start up a business.

I guessed.

You and Xing

have been together for four years.

You're supposed to get married.

That's my plan, indeed.

Today is the fourth anniversary

of our relationship.

I had wanted to propose to her today.

But unexpected...

I...

I really don't know

if I can give her the life she wants.

Yichen,

when you think here all alone,

you'll only get more upset.

Why don't you go talk to her

with the ring?

You have been together for four years.

I believe she will

give you a satisfactory answer.

OK.

I'll try one more time.

I should go.

Yichen, let me walk you out.

No need. You take some rest.

Xing, you're done working?

I came as soon as I finished.

I bought something to eat on my way here.

Why haven't you had dinner yet?

I want to have it with you.

It's a big day.

We should celebrate.

I'll go wash my hands.

How about we put dinner on the tea table?

- We can watch TV. - OK.

Whatever you say.

The dishes aren't cold, huh?

Your favorite restaurant with Boiled Fish with Pickles

is closed.

I wonder how these dishes will taste.

Why do you not open them?

What? What are you laughing at?

What are you holding behind you?

Let me see.

Let me see.

Xing,

will you marry me?

Yichen,

I'd love to.

But...

I just started my company.

It's not stable.

Can you give me some more time?

If I accept your proposal now,

I'll be like getting a backup plan.

Neither you nor I will be respected.

How about this?

I'll keep the ring.

When I get financing,

I'll propose to you.

OK?

OK.

Pinky promise.

Wait for me.

There it goes.

Huang!

Huang!

The subscriber you dialed is powered off.

Huang!

Zhizhou?

Senior?

Are you also here for Huang?

Yeah. The other day,

I rented a printer from him.

I gave him the money.

He said I could get it today.

But...

I'm unable to contact him.

He isn't back for days.

I paid his rent for this month.

If you find him,

ask him to call me back.

I can't pay his rent all the time.

You paid his rent?

- Yeah. - What happened to him?

When he was talking on the phone, I heard

he had a financial problem.

Don't worry.

Will you come in?

Fine. See you later.

What?

Sorry, Xing.

It's all my fault.

Did you call the police?

I'll go ask about it.

- Which station? - Dongli Police Station.

Do you think we can get the money back?

Let's not talk until Xing's back.

How could we be so unlucky?

At such a critical time,

we met a fraud.

Things will be better when we get financing.

All these problems will be gone.

Then when can we get financing?

I don't know.

What's up?

My landlord asked for the rent.

Nothing.

What's the rush?

You won't pack up and leave overnight.

You'll get your pay soon.

Ask him to wait.

Dad, please help me, will you?

Please help me. We...

We're so close to success.

When you just began,

you lost so much money.

Now you want more?

In your dreams!

Don't beg your mother.

No negotiation.

Don't start a company

until you have enough social experience.

Your friend can use the house for free.

Be a good son and come back home.

Or I'll take that house back.

But Dad, I...

I've never missed a credit card payment.

I don't even have an installment.

I'm sure I have a good credit.

Please check for me

the maximum loan I can apply for.

OK. I'll wait for it.

Miss Ji, you haven't had lunch, huh?

Thanks.

Where are they?

Mr. Su is out for business.

Shang is out for lunch.

Have you had lunch?

Yes.

Miss Ji,

any word from the police station?

They said the investigation would take a few days.

Xia, what's up?

Miss Ji,

I've heard about something these days.

People say our company can't get financing at all.

Investment companies say we ask for too much.

Our analog product has been made.

I believe we'll get financing soon.

Sorry, Miss Ji.

I really appreciate

(Letter of Resignation) how you've helped.

I chose to work for Xingchen

just because I wanted to strike out

with my techniques.

Now, the analog product

has been made.

But we don't have a printer yet.

Every day in my seat,

I sit and do nothing.

If it goes on like this,

I'll go to waste.

I understand, Xia.

I know you've done a lot for our company.

Now, we're in some trouble.

But I'm trying my best to solve it.

Rest assured. You have my word.

When our company is on track,

I'll give you

all your wages and subsidies.

I've made up my mind.

I'm sorry.

OK.

In this case,

I won't force you to stay.

Hope everything will go well with you.

Thanks.

Miss Ji.

Miss Ji!

Miss Ji!

(Dongyang Group)

This is our analog product.

We had planned

to print it out

before we get financing. But...

Mr. Han,

you gave us the offer of Dongyang Medical, right?

I'd like to ask if this offer

is still valid.

Does Ji Xing know

you came to me?

Then you should persuade her to come with you.

We...

Actually, we...

(Xia)

Hello, Xia.

I'm in the middle of something.

Xing passed out?

(Emergency Observation Room)

How is she, doctor?

Don't worry.

She's fine.

She's too stressed at work for a long time

without enough rest.

With low blood sugar and a mild fever,

she passed out.

She's taking the infusion.

It has some soothing liquid.

Just let her sleep.

She has to take more rest from now on.

Let her not stay up late.

OK. Thanks, doctor.

Mr. Han.

Did you inform her friend?

She's on the way.

Mr. Han.

Let me tell you the truth.

We're literally desperate.

Some days ago,

we rented a 3D printer at a low price.

But the seller took the money and ran.

On our company account,

there's not even a penny.

For the sake

you and Xing took part

in the college competition together,

can you invest in us?

Friendship is friendship

while business is business.

If you can't even bear such little pressure,

my investment will be wasted.

If you really care for her,

persuade her to accept my offer.

(Xing)

(Mother)

Hello, Mom.

Yichen, did you explain to Ji Xing?

Your father was deceived.

If he doesn't pay the money, it'll be enforced.

She usually doesn't care for you.

Now, she still doesn't help.

- How can you rely on her? - Mom, don't worry.

I'll get the money.

This case

has nothing to do with Xing.

Be patient.

Bye-bye.

Yichen.

Qiuzi? What are you doing here?

Our institute

has cooperation with your hospital.

I'm here for a meeting.

Are you having a family problem?

Sorry.

I didn't mean to eavesdrop.

Nothing.

Yichen, take it for your emergency.

I'll text you the password later.

No, thanks, Qiuzi.

I'll take care of it myself.

Don't stand on ceremony.

Take it.

Thank you, Qiuzi.

I'll pay you back with the interest.

Come on, Yichen.

Whatever trouble you are in,

I believe

you'll solve it perfectly.

Qiuzi,

I really don't know

how to thank you.

No need of that.

We were schoolmates.

Xing is my best friend, too.

And...

You proposed to her, right?

So, we're not strangers.

Thanks.

Excuse me.

Where is the infusion room?

Over there.

- Thanks. - Not at all.

(Emergency Observation Room)

- Li. - How is she?

Fine, according to the doctor.

She's too stressed

and she needs more rest.

OK.

I'll take care of her. You go home.

OK. I should go.

How do you feel, sweetheart?

According to the doctor, you've been too stressed.

You didn't have enough rest, either.

So, you passed out.

Never let it happen again.

Sorry. I lost your money, too.

What are you talking about?

I just told you not to be stressed.

Your company isn't deregistered.

I'm waiting until you get financing

and carry me.

Don't think too much.

Are you hungry?

I'll go buy you something to eat.

You rest here.

I'll be right back.
