[Episode 1]

[Qian Li Yuan]

Hello, may I know your name?

Hello. I'm Tu Xiaoning.

Miss Tu, hello.

Here, please pick up your love bear.

If you meet a man you fancy,

you can redeem our big bear with your bear

and the bear of the man.

Tell me if you need any help.

Please, come inside.

When I turn 27 years old,

I have two major life events to complete.

This is one of them right here.

But when I got involved in the matchmaking market,

reality kept slapping me in the face.

There is always a demand mismatch between men and women.

Hello, what number are you?

36.

Please follow me.

My annual salary is now eight figures.

I hope my future partner

can form a powerful alliance with me.

After the match-making is successful,

I want us to get prepared for the pregnant as soon as possible.

After all, you are already 27, aren't you?

Just six years younger than me.

I thought there were more possibilities

in such a matchmaking.

[Qian Li Yuan]

Sir, please pick up your love bear.

If you meet a lady you fancy,

you can redeem our big bear with your bear

and the bear of the lady.

Keep it up. I can only wait for the evening.

♫ My fast heartbeat ♫

♫ Hide in a few seconds ♫

♫ When I close my eyes ♫

♫ The beam of light behind you ♫

♫ Warms the flowing air ♫

♫ Time seems to pause ♫

[Qian Li Yuan] [Matchmaking, Tea Tasting, Gardening, Coffee]

Hello.

Hello.

Let me introduce myself first.

I work in a bank.

I have just returned to China recently.

And I'm still adapting and adjusting during this period.

I also have experience studying abroad.

However, I have been back to China for over three years now.

Currently, I am working in a state-owned enterprise.

Tell me if you need any help.

What a match!

You work in a bank?

Did you study financial management?

For my undergraduate, I studied business management in China.

For my postgraduate, I studied finance abroad.

I studied business management in my postgraduate studies.

What a coincidence.

What do you think of me?

This pair should work out.

Sorry, I need more time to think it over.

Think it over?

He's still not satisfied with her qualification?

I think we can understand each other a bit more.

What am I still waiting for here?

Long time no see, Tu Xiaoning.

Ji…

Ji Yuheng.

At this moment, I still don't know

the parallel lines that seemed to have no intersection

had already turned quietly.

Here.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So many years have passed.

Where are you working now?

Internal Control Compliance Department of Dairui's Head Office.

What a coincidence. You're also at Dairui?

Internal Control Compliance Department?

It's the department of the bank that reviews

and supervises anti-money laundering?

Exactly.

If I ever fall into your hands,

you'll have to go easy on me.

Who knows. I might be even stricter.

Well, I'm going to be on my toes

and make no mistakes.

It's been so long.

Let's add each other on WeChat, is it okay?

Of course, I'll scan your code.

Okay.

[High Vitamin C Lemon]

[I am A]

[35 yuan, please accept]

You don't have to transfer the money to me.

This is the rule of matchmaking.

I feel comfortable if we go Dutch.

If we meet again,

as an old classmate, I can treat you.

It looks like I failed the matchmaking.

Not entirely, you have this.

Consider it half a failure.

Weiyi, what's wrong?

How was it? I haven't heard from you all afternoon.

Nothing special.

Wasn't it a large-scale matchmaking event with hundreds of people?

Don't you have a crush on any men?

No.

I should have gone with you.

With so many men, I don't believe there is no nice man.

Not really. There is actually one.

But he is special, can be disregarded.

Special? How?

I'll talk to you later. I'm hanging up now.

Oh my! So embarrassing!

I met a high school classmate on the matchmaking.

And I have to use his car to tow my electric scooter I rode.

I must have lost my mind when I said yes.

It seems you won't be able to ride it back.

Let me take you back.

If I leave it here,

will it get stolen?

Ji Yuheng, maybe you…

No, drop me and the scooter off.

I can get back on my own.

It's okay. I'll drive you back.

So the special man you mentioned

is your high school classmate you met on the matchmaking?

What's there to be polite about?

It's time to show your real skills and win him over.

You want to win him over?

It's just that your electric scooter got smashed. Don't worry.

It's not the electric scooter that got smashed,

but my dignity.

And it wasn't the electric scooter that made the alarm,

but my heart.

Don't worry about it. Let me tell you.

An elite like him,

he's seen all types of highly sophisticated women.

Just keep it real.

Maybe you could carve out a new path

to successfully attract his attention.

Forget it. We don't match at all.

Okay, but I have to remind you.

Your ex-boyfriend is coming back to China next week.

And you're about to meet at a classmate's pre-wedding party.

He's a returnee from overseas study, and a doctor at a private hospital.

I remember someone said

to find a man who's taller

and more handsome than him to show up.

And to show him the permanent contract of you being a regular worker.

Let me tell you, Xiaoning.

With the current situation,

he has returned from his oversea study with bountiful achievements,

but you have achieved nothing in both love and career.

How would you redeem your past disgrace?

I have achieved something.

I'm going to be a regular worker.

What about the boyfriend?

Bye.

Hurry up.

To the left.

I'm going to get a power-up first.

Wait, you're stealing my kills, what are you doing?

Enough, stop playing.

This will get my account banned.

Look at other parents.

They would be anxious about their children with no boyfriends.

Can the two of you learn from this?

Introduce me some men.

Some men? You might as well take my life.

I'm finally retired

and now I have to work for you?

I've already pestered all my friends.

Now, only Ms. Wu's nephew who just returned to China is left.

Ms. Wu has a nephew?

Let me tell you, I heard Ms. Wu's nephew

never goes on the matchmaking.

He has regular features and comes from a good family.

His character and abilities are all top-notch.

If you can win him over,

you wouldn't want to go on matchmaking ever again.

With such qualities,

he is invincible in the matchmaking market.

So, I've met my KPI for the month, right?

Don't force me to introduce anyone to you again.

Give me his WeChat first.

Okay, I've sent it to you.

- WeChat. - Okay, I'll check.

Mom, if his qualities aren't as good as you say,

then he doesn't count, you have to introduce one more to me.

[A]

Ji Yuheng?

No way. What a coincidence.

Mom, well…

Mom, I can't handle this one.

Any others that I don't know?

He's handsome, but I can't handle him.

♫ I can always see the faint glimmer of light ♫

♫ Flowing through the gaps between my fingers ♫

♫ As the wind along the way ♫

♫ Accompanying me through yesterday ♫

♫ Rushing towards all the destinations of the future ♫

Thank you.

♫ Sweat poured down every step ♫

♫ Chasing happiness with all my heart ♫

[Dairui Bank]

Although this matchmaking didn't work out,

I'm going to be a regular worker.

Hello, please take a number first over here.

Ms. Zhang, you're early today.

♫ Gathering the fulfillment of desires ♫

Ms. Li, No. 10.

Please go to that window to collect your pension.

Mr. Wang, your interest rate of deposit has been calculated.

Thank you.

Hello, what can I do for you?

I'd like to make a deposit.

Please take a number first over here.

Okay.

It's yours.

[List of Participants] [Meeting Topic: Quarterly Report]

[Ji Yuheng]

Isn't today the Vice President's meeting?

Why is Ji Yuheng attending it?

I have no idea.

Please take a seat.

Let's start.

Let's take a look at the quarterly marketing statistics.

Foreign currency deposits increased by 3.26 billion US dollars for the whole year.

By the end of last month,

the non-performing loans of small and micro enterprise loans

are 25 million yuan,

10 million yuan less than that of the same period last year.

This is our quarterly inventory analysis.

You can take a look.

I would like to ask,

what are the specific reasons for the non-performing loans of 25 million?

These loans were low-risk

when they were first assessed,

but in the end, poor business management led to bankruptcies

and borrowers running away.

These are all unpredictable.

You say they are unpredictable.

Then I'll ask you about something that is unpredictable.

What are the background check details of the borrowers?

I thought today was just for reporting, so I wasn't prepared.

I will…

Not prepared?

It's okay, I have prepared it for you.

I have a document here.

Ji Yuheng, we are colleagues.

Do you have to do this,

without leaving me a way out?

I have already given you a chance.

Please look at the screen.

[List Of Non-Performing Loan Enterprises] Among these bad debts,

there are ten small enterprises with more than 1 million loan balance.

There are three with 5 million loan balance.

And the actual people in control of these 13 enterprises

include, but are not limited to, your college classmates,

[Relationship with Qi Qiang: Relative] your distant relatives,

[High School Classmate, Virtual Customer] and even

your virtual customers.

It's really unpredictable.

As bank clerks, we were given the right

to handle huge sums of money.

It should be used to help people, not to benefit yourself.

Overachieving KPI.

Xiaoning, you're working so hard.

What else can I do?

I need to get great performance to become a regular worker.

If I can't become a regular worker this year,

I can't afford to wait another three years.

[Meeting Room 1]

Xiaoning, when I went to deliver the report

and glanced at the document about regular workers on the desk.

Your name was on it. Let's celebrate.

You pick the place.

It's been three years. I can finally ask you to treat me.

Today,

I'm about to announce the list of those who can be regular workers

and related personnel changes.

Let's get to it.

Next, those who can be regular workers

of Dairui Bank in the year 2023 are,

Han Meijuan, Zhao Xiaojun,

and Tang Yuhui. Congratulations.

[2023 Dairui Bank List of Regularized Officers]

In addition, due to the shortage of staff in the Development Department,

the bank has approved to reallocate staff from the lobby to supplement the manpower.

Tu Xiaoning, you'll go to the Development Department Division One.

There are better job opportunities over there.

Wish you a bright future.

Next, we will discuss the key points of this afternoon's work.

Manager, why isn't my name on the list?

Tu, you have been working at the bank for three years.

Why would you still ask such a question?

I ask precisely because I have been at the bank for three years.

Although I am a labor dispatch worker,

I have already obtained three certificates.

In terms of evaluations, all my customers have rated me as excellent.

In terms of attendance, I have never been late or left early in three years.

In terms of performance, I have been in the top three in every assessment.

Tang Yuhui has been at the bank for less than half a year and has turned a regular officer.

So why isn't my name on the list?

Yes, why isn't it you?

Xiaoning, you've also been working for so long.

Why can't you see

that resources and connections are far more important than hard work?

Why is the recruitment department called the Human Resources Department?

Because people themselves are a resource.

[Dairui Bank, Tu Xiaoning]

[Dairui Bank, Tu Xiaoning]

I don't know why

time flies so fast after I turned 25 years old.

I've worked so hard and gained nothing.

Maybe I can just keep telling myself

to do well in the present and not to worry about the future.

But the consequence of it

are likely to continue to go out of control for the next three years.

I am eager to be turned into a regular worker and go on matchmaking.

Maybe it has nothing to do with my work or my ex-boyfriend.

It's just because I lack of a sense of security

and feel anxious in my 27 years old.

[Dairui Bank]

Mr. Zhou, tell him I'll be there this afternoon.

Alright.

Hello, you must be Tu Xiaoning.

The lobby informed me that you would be coming over.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

In the Development Department, I am the walking encyclopedia.

Right, my name is Zhou Kai.

Remember, don't call me Zou Kai.

Hello.

Just kidding.

May I know who is in charge here?

Strictly speaking, it's the nice guy, Mr. Jiang.

However, it's Jing who has the final say.

Jing.

It's the one you've all heard about.

The King of the Development Department Division One,

the Bullet of the Dairui Bank.

The dictator who fought her way out of the men,

the career demon with ambition written all over her face,

being brutal and ruthless by day, sleepless alone at night,

the cold-blooded woman who's going to spend her life

with money, right?

Who spread rumors?

Jing, I'll go check for you right now.

How's that medical loan going?

Their person in charge

- is always making excuses. - I don't want to hear

such incompetent excuses.

I want results, okay?

I'll go follow up on this.

What is our interest rate for late repayment?

150% of the normal interest rate.

Okay, come with me.

Sorry, I'm here to resign.

Come in as well.

Are you done?

Not yet, please wait.

Excuse me.

This girl works pretty efficiently.

How did you persuade her not to resign?

I didn't.

We're short of people here in the Development Department,

and the Compliance Department is watching us closely.

It's wasteful not to use such free labor.

Just make by.

You really have no conscience.

Do you?

It's a great lesson for her

before she resigns.

Learn from this.

Section three of article four.

Keep it up!

[Letter Of Resignation]

Jing, excuse me.

I've completed the work you assigned me, where should I put it?

Bring it here.

Jing, do you have a moment now?

Please approve my resignation application.

Resignation application?

Don't you know that off-staff

aren't required to apply for resignation?

No one has ever told me that.

What's that face? Feeling wronged?

Do you think the whole Dairui is rotten to the core?

And everyone is bullying you?

No, I think it should be fair.

Fair?

It is something the court can give you, not the workplace.

You're wrong on two of the 15 loan IOUs.

You got one of the nine interest rates wrong.

When I first joined,

I used to wake up at 4 a.m. every day to memorize financial policies, laws and regulations.

I thought I got up very early,

it's not enough. There's always someone getting up before me.

I have a bad reputation here.

But I'm in charge.

There are no formalities for your resignation or staying.

Leaving with complaints or adapting to the rules is up to you.

I'll make the correction first.

Take it.

[Ferris Wheel Sea View Restaurant Fang Xiao and Zhou Wei, pre-wedding party]

[See you next weekend at 7:00 p.m.]

Hello, Fang Xiao.

You got the party invitation, right?

Yes, I'll definitely attend your wedding in full dress.

But I'm not going to the pre-wedding party next weekend.

I have plans.

What?

[Special: Little Lemon Any Luck Today; Fang Xiao] Let me tell you.

You've never attended a college classmate reunion.

So you must come this time.

[Together Forever] Okay, I'll be there next weekend.

Wait for me then.

Okay.

Everyone says that the Development Department is the penal colony of the Dairui bank.

Why did you agree to go?

Who said that?

Logically, the Development Department is more promising than the lobby.

But the situation in Division One hasn't been good lately.

I met someone really amazing today.

I think I can learn a lot from her.

The more setbacks, the braver you get. You are really amazing.

That's good then.

In the future, we can continue hanging out in the same building.

This is nice.

It doesn't suit you.

Well, then find me a suit that suits me.

I am looking for it.

You are really planning on going to that pre-wedding party?

Of course.

The bride is my good friend. Why wouldn't I attend?

Besides, I've realized that I have a problem.

I'm always passively facing life.

Whether it's work or love,

whenever I encounter a problem, I choose to go along with the fate.

When the results come out and do not meet my expectation,

I start to get angry, even furious.

I think this won't work.

I need to start taking the initiative to face my life.

Alright, whatever decision you make,

I'll support you.

But I've heard

Lu Sijing has never forgotten you while overseas

and wants to pursue you again.

What do you think? Do you still love him?

[One Year Ago]

[MARRY ME]

Xiaoning, happy birthday!

I'm sorry, I want to intern here for another year.

By then you'll secure a permanent position too.

I'll make sure you get a bigger proposal.

Xiaoning, happy birthday!

Make a wish.

Lu Sijing, what you missed is not just one birthday proposal,

but also our future.

Ending the seven-year relationship

is the best decision I've ever made.

How are you today?

- Romantic. - Right?

[Welcome to Fang Xiao & Zhou Wei's Pre-Wedding Party]

[Please get in and enjoy.]

Ji Yuheng, you're dressed so sharply, do you want to steal my spotlight?

How dare I! Happy newlyweds!

Thank you.

It's indeed nice.

Not bad, right?

Fang Xiao, happy newlyweds.

You've come at the right time, let me introduce.

Ji Yuheng, a talented graduate from Qingbei University.

He's currently working in the Compliance Department at Dairui's Head Office.

He's Lu Sijing, who has just returned from studying abroad.

A doctor at Renji Hospital.

Hello, I'm Lu Sijing.

We've met before.

Really?

Hello, I'm Ji Yuheng.

Why so distant?

You were all my classmates at various times.

From now on, we will be good friends.

Invite me out to dinner when you are available.

Or I'll miss you guys.

Speaking of classmates, I really miss you guys.

What? Who?

All those years, you've been skipping our reunions.

♫ The night swallows the dusk ♫

♫ Only shadows follow closely ♫

♫ You're the streetlight waiting for me ♫

♫ My fast heartbeat ♫

Our second leading lady of the day.

She's different now.

She's become prettier than before.

It's the look in her eyes.

Today, I've come here on a mission.

You know there's been some misunderstanding between me and Xiaoning.

So I want to formally apologize to her here at this place.

I want to pursue her again.

Rest assured. Let's proceed as we previously planned.

There definitely won't be a problem.

I'm going.

What is Lu Sijing going to do?

Haven't they broken up for a long time?

What is he doing?

This is…

Ji Yuheng? What is he doing here?

♫ Baby, it is you ♫

♫ I hope you know ♫

Xiaoning, long time no see.

Long time no see.

What are you going to do?

I'm here to apologize.

A year ago on my birthday,

you said you would propose to me at my birthday party,

but you broke your promise,

which is making me very embarrassed.

What are you doing today?

Wanting to make me even more embarrassed?

Xiaoning, I know that some things might be too late to say now.

But I must tell you.

A year ago, you were so excited

about our marriage and our future,

but I chose to escape.

At that time, I thought

that getting married and having children wasn't the best life choice.

But it took me a year to realize

that love can't be measured by value.

So I wanted to formally apologize to you today

in front of everyone.

Xiaoning, I'm sorry, please forgive me.

Forgive him, forgive him!

Don't push Xiaoning like this.

She knows what she wants to do.

What are you guys doing?

Exactly. I still remember the day Lu Sijing broke his promise.

How can she just forgive him that easily?

Take back the flowers, take them back.

Xiaoning, I know you're still mad at me.

Give me another chance and let me make it up to you, okay?

You don't need to make it up to me. And you don't owe me anything.

I can't live without you.

You can live without me.

From the moment you decided to walk away

without saying a word to me,

you knew in your heart

that you could live well without me.

We broke up.

Take back the flowers, I won't accept them.

What are you doing?

He is still confessing.

You don't like my flowers or you don't like me anymore?

W-What's going on?

What's going on?

Does Ji Yuheng like Tu Xiaoning?

I think he's helping her out.

Ji Yuheng, right?

What do you want to do?

You said you liked it,

so I've brought it to you.

Isn't it our flower?

Just listen.

It's beautiful, I like it.

What do you want to do?

This is between me and Xiaoning.

What does it have to do with you?

Don't forget it's an old classmate's pre-wedding party.

If this gets embarrassing,

it's not just about the two of you.

I already have a flower in my hand and I can't accept your flowers.

Lu Sijing, don't think

I'm turning you down today because I'm mad at you.

I've thought it through.

I just want to see a better self

and a better life in the future.

Today is an old classmate's pre-wedding party.

We are grown-ups.

Don't make it embarrassing.

Okay.

T-Thank you.

Thank you for helping me out.

You're welcome.

Looks like your last relationship took a toll on you.

Not really. I used to think so.

I thought I would be mad at him

and hate him when I saw him.

But actually, none of that happened.

I used to wonder if I still loved him.

But when I asked myself the question,

I knew the answer the moment I hesitated.

In fact, what I've been mad about

is that he left without saying a word

and that I got abandoned.

Sorry for saying so much.

So you went on the matchmaking to get over this relationship as soon as possible?

I went on the matchmaking

because I wanted to find a better man than him as soon as possible.

But I've realized that what I want

is only a promising future

with a successful career, a stable job,

and a happy family.

So do you have any plans?

I'll continue with the matchmaking.

Perhaps…

you just want to have a stable marriage,

would you…

would you marry me?
