(He didn't say he would show up.)

(What if he doesn't come?)

(And the day after tomorrow.)

(- Possibly. - And...)

For the follow-up work,

I'll have Tang Song contact you.

You call Liu Lushan

from Wanli Logistics

and invite him to dinner tomorrow.

OK, boss.

Miss Ji asked to meet you at half past eight

in Star Ice on Longshan Road.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

You said today's meeting was important

and asked me not to disturb you.

Boss, Miss Ji's calling.

Put her on the speaker.

Assistant Tang, Mr. Han...

I was held up.

I'll arrive in ten minutes.

OK.

I'll wait for you.

Drive faster.

OK.

Waitress.

Hello.

My ice cream can be served now.

OK. A minute, please.

The subscriber you dialed

is busy.

Please redial later.

(Turning off...)

Waitress.

Yes.

Do you have a power bank?

Yes. Just a minute.

- Thanks. - OK.

(Xing) Here I am. Did you leave?

Sorry,

the subscriber you dialed is powered off.

Waiter.

Is there any other branch nearby?

No, sir.

Are you looking for someone?

There's a Star Ice on front Longshan Road.

I-C-E, Ice.

People often mistake the two stores.

How can I get there?

I went to the wrong store.

This is Star Ice on front Longshan Road.

There's a Star Eyes

on rear Longshan Road.

E-Y-E-S, Eyes.

I was waiting for you there.

I often mistake the two stores, too.

- Waitress. - Coming.

Boss.

Boss, where are you going?

Let me drive you!

Ji Xing!

If you want to see me,

you can text me directly.

OK.

Hungry from waiting, huh?

Shall we eat together?

OK.

Then let's go...

- OK. - Come on.

Come on.

You've vomited in three places.

Do you even have more to vomit?

No.

I'm fine.

I'll practice drinking more.

Next time, I'll get them all drunk.

Don't think of next time.

You can't hold your liquor.

Don't try to be strong anymore.

I called a taxi for you.

It'll send you back home.

Li Li,

when I saw them make you drink,

I couldn't help defending you.

I promised

I would protect you.

Su Zhizhou,

thank you for defending me tonight.

But we're only colleagues.

You needn't have done this.

I know.

Li Li,

I may not be a very good guy.

But I'm willing to show you every piece of mine.

Do I really

stand no chance?

I have a boyfriend.

We're in a stable relationship.

So, stop wasting your time on me.

Your unilateral contribution

will stress me out.

You'll feel the pain, too.

I hope we'll be colleagues only.

Did you call the taxi?

Please wait a minute, sir.

OK.

Can you walk?

Sir, my friend is drunk.

Keep an eye on him, please.

OK. No problem.

Aren't you leaving?

I have things to do.

Stay safe, then.

Xiao Yixiao,

can I go to your home now?

I get it.

Tomorrow, I'll bring some ingredients

and cook for you at your place,

OK?

I'll hang up.

See you tomorrow.

Smart Lemon, I have a job offer.

Will you take it?

(Lu Linjia) My bar will open.

Come and advertise for it.

You name a price.

(Smart Lemon) On the opening day,

I'll do a live streaming there.

Have fun on the opening day.

Don't bother to work.

After that,

come do the live streaming someday.

(Lu Linjia)

(Smart Lemon) Yes, sir.

(Hi. Do you miss me?)

Lu, what are you looking at so happily?

A pretty girl, huh?

In what universe is she a pretty girl?

Obviously, she is.

Focus on your work.

OK.

She's pretty, indeed.

How have I never noticed

she's so pretty?

Qiuzi, what are you doing here?

Yichen.

I know you've been preparing

for the Innovation Center of Xinggang Hospital.

An uncle of mine

works at Xinggang Hospital.

I asked him for some materials.

Maybe they can be helpful.

Can I get in?

Come in, please.

The materials are in it.

I've bought you some dessert.

People say when someone uses his brain,

he should eat something sweet

that will stimulate dopamine

and improve memory.

It's thoughtful of you. Thanks.

Don't stand on ceremony.

Have you been

too busy preparing?

It's quite messy here.

Sorry.

These days,

I didn't have time to tidy it up.

Let me do this. You just sit.

I can't let you do that. Leave it to me.

Yichen.

Even if we can't be a couple,

we're good friends.

Right?

Good friends

help each other, don't they?

It's just a little favor.

When you pass the interview,

buy me a big dinner.

OK. Thank you, then.

Get back to your reading.

Oh, you can check

if any of the materials

can be helpful.

OK.

- Xing? - Where are you going?

It's the opening day of Lu Linjia's bar.

He said he also sent you an invitation.

It starts at half past four.

Go up and put your luggage.

I'll ride you there.

I won't go.

I have some finishing work

to complete.

Li has a date, too.

I'll be bored to go alone.

Come on. Go with me.

How about this? You go now.

I'll text you when I'm done.

OK. I'll go first.

You get upstairs.

Oh, help me

bring him a present.

OK.

Ride slowly!

I will.

(Opening Party)

♪How long is it?♪

Good. Fancy music.

OK.

If you want something to drink, let me know.

Here, Ting.

Ting, you've come at last.

You even have a present for me.

What do you think?

Lighting, band,

stereo, device...

Your investment

isn't wasted, huh?

Today, only my friends are here.

They talk a lot and they're noisy.

If you want some peace,

there's a VIP room over there.

It's perfect for a cold man like you.

Have nothing to do on the opening day?

I should first pamper you,

my nephew.

How about you have fun here?

I'll go entertain my friends.

Xiaomeng.

There you are, Mr. Han.

What about Ji Xing?

She was just back from the trip

and she had work to do.

Look, her present for you.

- Thanks. - And my present.

Thank you.

Come on. Let me take you to the VIP room.

- Let's go. - Come on.

Ting, join us.

♪We don't need to accept each other too fast♪

♪Nor do we need to love too rashly♪

(Ji Xing) I'm done. I'll be right there.

Here. This is a non-alcoholic fruit drink

I specially made for you.

Two Lemon.

Don't bother.

The bar is good.

Keep it up.

I should go.

Leaving when you just came?

I don't drink.

I'm just here for you.

I have work to do.

I should go.

Lu Linjia, Xing said she was done working

and would come soon.

Ask her to come quickly.

I've prepared a special cocktail for her.

Come on. Rush her.

She's on the way.

- OK. - She'll arrive soon.

Why are you back?

What did you just say about this?

Two Lemon.

Oh, Two Lemon.

Fine. You sit here.

Xiaomeng, I'll take you to see a friend.

- Let's go. - OK.

(Opening Party)

- Bravo! - Nice!

Impressive, huh?

♪In the distance, the sky is warm♪

Ji Xing, thanks for your present.

The VIP room is there.

There you go. I'll catch up.

- OK. Congratulations. - Thanks.

I'm getting there.

- Here. - Hello.

There you are. A chair, please.

♪Deserves to be valued and remembered♪

Mr. Han?

Take your seat.

You don't drink, do you?

I invested in this bar.

I'm here to have a look.

Hello.

Your special strawberry drink.

- Please enjoy it. - Thanks.

What a coincidence!

They know I love strawberries.

I ordered it for you.

I remember you loved strawberries

when you were in college.

I did.

I was stressed out at that time.

I thought

having something sweet helped with stress.

It's good to be stressed.

What's up?

An inspection trip to Germany.

Looks interesting.

Interesting?

What will you go there for?

To study.

That's what I want to do.

What do you mean?

That's good.

Good.

You should experience it.

Mr. Han, do you think

work is the only language

we can share?

No.

How about we play a game?

What game?

Let's take turns

to pour something into this glass

and blow off the cards.

The one who blows off the last card

will lose the game

and have to finish this special drink.

What do you say?

OK.

Here we go.

Non-alcohol.

Wait a second.

Try something exciting.

Soy sauce.

Apple vinegar.

Salt.

Milk.

Curry paste.

Honey.

Mustard.

Ground coffee.

Chili sauce.

Cream.

Who'll go first?

- You. - Me?

OK.

I lost.

It tastes really special.

Lunch is ready.

You cook very well.

Taste it.

What's the filling?

Shrimp.

Tastes great.

Xiao Yixiao,

I've been feeling

I'm almost in love with you.

Isn't that great?

No.

Recently,

I've been thinking of our relationship.

I used to pick a boyfriend

on my emotions alone.

When we were happy, we stayed together.

Otherwise, we broke up.

I was so free

and didn't want to know about them.

I just wanted them to make me happy.

But since I knew you,

I've made many exceptions.

I want to learn more about you.

I want more from you, too.

I even find myself

very strange.

But you're what you used to be.

I'm not.

I've been worried about losing you.

I'm not as big-hearted as before.

Li Li,

it takes time to know about each other.

But I don't want to get stuck deeper.

Our relationship

will not work out, will it?

That's not true.

You're saying this

only because you don't want

to break up for the moment.

Li Li,

I want to be serious with you.

Let's be together.

If you're too worried

to love wholeheartedly,

I'd officially invite you.

Please be my girlfriend.

From this day on,

we'll be the rightful couple.

Li Li,

will you accept me?

Yes.

(Xinggang Hospital)

(Outpatient)

Now,

I'm taking you

to see our attending doctor,

Director Wei.

Director Wei.

I was just coming to find you.

Director Wei De

is the attending doctor

for this clinical test.

This is Ji Xing, CEO

of Xingchen Technology

that works out

the intervertebral cage.

- Hi, Director Wei. - Hi.

This is Miss Li from our sales department.

- Nice to meet you. - Director, the report is ready.

My assistant physician will come.

He'll take care of the follow-up.

- OK? - No problem.

I have a meeting.

I'll let you guys talk.

OK.

Ji Xing.

You know each other?

We were schoolmates at Xinggang University.

What a coincidence!

This is Shao Yichen,

Director Wei's assistant physician.

Since you know each other,

it'll be more convenient to communicate.

That's right.

Well, you guys talk.

I have work to do. Excuse me.

Go ahead.

Come and sit.

Recently,

how have you been doing?

Good.

Our company is on track, too.

Why are you here?

I was just transferred from People's Hospital.

The Orthopedic Innovation Center

was just established, huh?

Besides,

Director Wei is a good pal

of my college adviser.

So, I was recommended.

In this hospital,

I also take part

in clinical tests of some innovative projects.

But I didn't know

Xingchen was the first company

I would cooperate with.

What? Will you

reject the job

because we're from Xingchen?

No. Why would I?

We'll count on you and Director Wei, then.

No problem.

Do I have to

call you Miss Ji?

Whatever.

(Ji Xing)

Mr. Han, Xingchen's first clinical test

of its intervertebral cage

will start at nine tomorrow morning.

If you have time, will you

come to Xinggang Hospital and watch it?

(Han Ting) It's eight at night.

Such an "early" invitation.

Sorry. I was too busy to remember that.

(Ji Xing)

(Han Ting) It's OK.

The second payment

has arrived, after all.

You won't be scared.

What a man!

(Ji Xing) I'm sorry.

I know you're extremely busy.

Next time, I'll invite you earlier.

It depends.

(Han Ting)

It depends?

So, will he or will he not come?

Whatever.

There you are, at last.

There's so much traffic.

Has everybody arrived?

Yes. They're outside the operating room.

- OK. - Mr. Han is here, too.

He's in Shao Yichen's office.

Let's hurry.

Come on.

What about the previous patients?

They recovered well.

Sorry, I'm late.

Ji Xing, come and sit.

Sit here.

Let's go on, Dr. Shao.

OK.

The advantage of titanium alloy

lies in its high compatibility.

The trabeculae

contributes to bone growth.

Right.

I've checked the cage

Mr. Su brought us.

It is exactly the product

we've been expecting.

So much for this.

I'll go get prepared.

OK.

Don't worry.

It'll be OK.

The doctor team...

Did you designate him?

Only later did I learn

he was Prof. Wei's assistant.

But Shao Yichen is very professional.

You think so highly of him.

I do?

Are you confident?

I'm nervous, anyway,

as if I would take an examination.

How long did the printing take?

Half an hour.

When quality is assured,

make the printing of a single piece

as short as you can.

(Outpatient)

(Operating Room, Recovery Room)

Don't be afraid. It'll be OK.

Don't be nervous.

How's it, doctor?

The surgery is successful.

Your customized intervertebral cage

works perfectly for the volunteer.

That's great.

We made it!

We made it.

Thank you, doctor.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

If you hadn't

given him this chance,

my son

may not stand up

for the rest of his life.

Miss Ji,

your company will be successful.

Good people deserve good things.

As long as he recuperates properly,

there won't be a problem.

- Thanks, Director Wei. - Thanks.

Thank you, Dr. Shao. You had a hard day.

Shao, later,

confirm the follow-up with them.

I have work to do.

OK.

You go ahead.

OK.

Thank you, doctor.

I'll go get changed.

Later, we'll talk in my office.

I have to take this.

You guys talk.

Congratulations.

This clinical test

is such a success

and the quality of your product

has contributed to it.

Take your seats.

According to Director Wei,

for the following clinical tests,

if you're in need,

we can keep cooperating.

That's great.

The successful transplant of the intervertebral cage

is just the first step.

Later, we'll follow up

on the patient's recovery

and rejection.

We can't let our guard down.

Am I right, Dr. Shao?

Yes.

You're right, Mr. Han.

OK. If you don't mind, we should go.

Xing, shall we invite our employees

to have lunch for celebration?

Mr. Han, Yichen,

join us if you have time.

OK. Let's have lunch if you have time.

It's OK with me.

Today is a good day, anyway.

It's worth celebrating.

Sorry, everybody.

Mr. Han postponed

his schedules for today.

He has a lot more things to handle.

Sorry. Next time, I'll invite you earlier.

It doesn't matter.

I just think

it's too early to celebrate yet.

On the day of surgery, the patient

must be carefully observed.

I guess Dr. Shao

doesn't have time for lunch,

right?

Rest assured, everybody.

I'll keep focusing

on the follow-up of the volunteer.

But I do have some work to do.

I'm not going

to today's celebration lunch.

Sorry, guys.

OK. We'll dine together another day.

Let's celebrate after the total success.

OK.

Let's go have lunch.

All right.

Come on.

As for the follow-up,

call me if necessary.

OK. Don't worry.

Bye-bye.

(Xinggang Hospital)

Oh,

Dongyang also has

some close clinical institutions.

Shall I share them?

But the clinical test has just started.

I want to cooperate with this hospital

on more surgeries.

Let's go have lunch.

Get in the car.

Xing, you go with Mr. Han.

I'll wait for Li Li.

OK. I'll send you the location.

Where's Xing?

Why are you here alone?

They've gone to the restaurant.

They sent me the location.

Let's go together.

I'll get a taxi.

You go alone.

I'm not going.

My boyfriend is here.

I should go.

Ms. Yuan.

Mr. Chang,

you're in such a good mood.

Ms. Yuan, rest assured.

This is

my private mansion.

No one will disturb us.

Be seated, please.

Enjoy it.

What do you want me for, Mr. Chang?

I just heard

the clinical test

of Xingchen Technology

was successful.

Aren't you worried?

About what?

When a Dongyang-owned company

achieved something,

I would be only glad.

I'm worried about you, Ms. Yuan.

Since Han Ting returned to China,

he's been doing great in business.

He even cleared your men

out of the core team.

If you let him go on like this,

don't you fear

he'll replace you someday?

Mr. Chang,

just get to the point.

I want to work with you

to make Han Ting

no longer the CEO

of Dongyang Medical.

I'll pretend I didn't hear

what you just said.

Why?

Do you suddenly

care for your cousin

instead of trying to take him down?

You developed Dongyang Medical.

I don't believe

you'll give away the company you have

worked on for ten years.

Our companies

have been competitors for years.

Relatives are favored over outsiders.

I'm sure you know this.

Ms. Yuan, you put it so prettily.

I'll get to the point, then.

Now, you don't do anything

only because you think Han Ting

can't realize his pledge.

You'll just wait until he leaves.

But Ms. Yuan,

let me ask you one question.

Are you really so sure?

Han Ting is your cousin.

You know more about him than I do.

Will he just sit around doing nothing

until you make him desperate enough?

I bet,

since he dares to make

such a pledge,

he will win the gambling.

One more thing.

Someone has been buying fractional shares

of Dongyang Medical.

Who do you think

is behind all this?

You take Han Ting as your family.

But he isn't grateful.

It's our family business.

You don't need to bother.

Everybody wants to be like this creature.

It attracts wealth

without giving out any.

But in this world,

no one can get what he wants

without paying a price.

Ms. Yuan,

in some cases,

you choose between the lesser of two evils.

I never force anyone.

I can wait.

When you change your mind,

come to me for some tea at any time.

The tea is good.

Call me if you need anything.

OK.

- I'll let you work. - Thanks.
