BASED ON THE NOVEL EVERYONE LOVES ME BY QIAO YAO

ALL ANIMAL ACTORS WERE FILMED UNDER SUPERVISION. DO NOT ATTEMPT

I've been so busy with my drafts

that I forgot about the company's anniversary.

I guess I'll just wear some plain clothes.

No way.

Or maybe I'll just stick two pumpkins on myself.

I got it.

Forget that.

Try this on.

See? It's a skirt now.

You're amazing, Xinyi.

Not really. It's just a hobby of mine.

Let me take your measurements.

Here.

It's done. I got it.

Then I'll...

I'll find you some accessories.

Hold on.

Take this.

Xinyi,

as cute as this cartoon spider is,

won't it be a little creepy

to sew it on a dress?

No, it won't.

My granny called it a pleasant bug.

It's a good luck charm.

Foreigners also think it brings good luck.

They say if you find the root of a spider's web,

you'll be lucky forever.

Is that so?

Xinyi, you're so knowledgeable.

Not really, I just like

to read weird books.

Xinyi,

look.

From a proportional point of view,

the curve of your facial profile from forehead to chin

is perfect.

You have long shoulders and necklines,

which accentuate the fullness of the lips

and frame the chin.

You look really good.

See?

Really?

Be more confident. You look beautiful.

Actually,

ever since I was a kid,

I've always stayed quiet in the crowd,

hoping no one notices me.

However,

seeing you all work so hard

and aiming so high,

I want to make some changes too.

That's a good mindset.

Listen to me. Do this later.

Good. Let's take one more.

Fantastic. This picture is good.

-Here, take a look. -Here.

Photoshop and send it to me.

Photoshop it yourself.

Okay, I've sent it to you.

I think our company's events

are getting fancier.

What's the story, my fellow elites?

-Huang Jie. -I really...

-Huang Jie. -I'm not going to tolerate you anymore.

Qianling! My goodness!

You look so good.

Xinyi, what's your outfit? A Phantom?

It's the Phantom of the Opera.

Xinyi made this outfit for me.

It looks great, right? She did my nails too.

Isn't it flashy?

Yes, I'm getting blinded.

Xinyi knows how to do nails too?

That's awesome.

Xinyi, you have to do mine next time.

Of course.

Xinyi, come here.

-Go ahead. -Go.

You look good today.

Look at your outfit

and your makeup.

You look so pretty from head to toe.

I'm not taking a picture with you today.

Are you sure?

Then take a picture with me, ladies.

Mr. Ren, long time no see.

This is Yue Qianling from Project Department One.

She drew a lot of the art

for The Lover Broker.

She's very talented.

This is our company's

special effects contractor, Ren Tianyi.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, babe.

You're so pretty.

Hello.

Not only is she pretty, but she is talented too.

Thank you.

Come on, let's take a picture.

Who's going to take it for us?

Yin Jun!

-Come here! -What?

Is this how you call your team leader?

-Hold him tight. What team leader? -Mr. Yin.

Come here, ladies.

Three, two, one. Cheese!

Cheese!

-Let's see. -Take a look.

Does it look good?

It looks exceptionally good.

-This one is good. -Okay. I'll post it on my Moments.

-Huang Jie, let's go somewhere else. -Okay.

Okay. We'll head off then.

Don't you want to talk a bit more?

Mr. Ren, add me on WeChat.

My...

My aesthetic level is absolutely good.

My phone is dead.

-Pi... -...rate.

Cap...

...tain!

Remember to turn your right side

and make the most of your charm.

Jiang Junnan will be yours.

-Pi... -...rate.

Cap...

...tain!

Call it.

Guess what? Qianling has had six glasses already.

Six glasses?

Xinyi, I think that's mine.

I'm thirsty.

I'll get you another one.

-It's fine. -Let's continue!

-Come on! -Pi...

Are you okay? What did you hit?

Are you okay?

...rate.

Pi...

-Pi... -I'll do it!

Pi...

Drink!

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Why is Chen Xinyi so strange today?

Youngsters nowadays are so playful.

-Let's continue. -Yes. Continue your game.

HUANG JIE

-...rate. -Cap...

Qianling!

-Drink! -Drink!

Pi...

...rate!

Drink it, Qianling.

-Fine. -Drink.

-What's wrong with you? -Drink.

Why do you...

You guys play. Let me send a message.

Give her a break.

-Let her rest. -She drank a lot.

-We'll play. -Let's continue.

-Let's play a different game. -Come on.

CHAT WITH CAMPUS HUNK

What are you doing?

Well,

I'm drinking.

Did you drink too much?

Impossible.

I can hold my liquor.

If I go now,

she'll definitely know.

Let me reply to a message.

GU XUN

Hello.

Who's that guy in the photo?

Do you mean Ren Tianyi?

He's the head of the special effects contractor.

I'm told he's not a good man.

It seems like Yue Qianling has become his target.

What do you mean?

His wife was an intern at his company.

She's pregnant at home now.

Apparently, her family is rich.

He became so obedient to his wife after marriage.

He doesn't dare to answer a female co-worker's call.

Really?

On such a lively day,

his wife must be bored at home alone.

I got it. How thoughtful of you.

I'm on it.

...rate!

Stand up!

-Pi... -You!

Pi...

-You were slow. Drink. -See? Qianling has to drink again.

Qianling, drink up.

Drink.

You're all so weak.

I'm going to the washroom.

-Are you okay? -I'll help you.

It's fine. I'll go to the washroom. You continue.

-That's a bummer. -Are you okay?

-I'm fine. -Shut up.

She drank too much.

Exactly.

She kept losing, so she kept on drinking.

Be careful.

It's a pleasure to meet you two.

My head hurts.

Hold on.

Did you drink too much, babe?

Let's go.

Mr. Ren, it's fine.

I'll take you to get some warm water.

-You'll feel better. -It's fine.

I just came out for some air.

The tent is over there.

I'll accompany you to get some air. You'll feel better.

-Thank you. -Let's go.

-It's not necessary. -I...

-It's okay. Listen to me. -I just wanted some air.

I'm used to drinking. It's fine. It's just there. Let's go.

Hey!

Yue Qianling.

Who are you?

Why did you hit me?

Ren Tianyi!

-Wait. -What are you doing?

Honey, why are you here?

What are you doing?

Wait!

Can't you see there's a fight?

-Call the cops. -For what?

It's such a small matter. I'm the one who got hit.

Yet, you want to call the cops?

-I'm so angry. -No, wait.

Gu Xun?

Why did you drink too much?

MEDIATOR

If you all agree to this mediation,

just sign and stamp it.

Take care of your family matters at home.

Of course. Thank you, officer.

I've troubled you.

I must educate you.

You said your wife is pregnant at home.

How could you do this?

How can you be such an incompetent husband?

You're right, officer.

There won't be a next time.

Thank you very much.

Come on, be careful.

Okay, you can leave now.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Don't drink too much from now on.

Didn't you

return home?

Why did you suddenly come here?

It ended early,

so I thought I'd come to the event.

You knew I was drunk, so you came and helped me, right?

Campus Hunk.

I actually have...

always liked you.

Do I

stand a chance?

I don't like you.

Yue Qianling, hear me out.

Let go of me!

Just hit me.

Once you're done,

can I get a chance to talk?

Follow me.

-Shut up. I don't want to talk -I...

and I don't want to hear you out right now.

Actually, I only found out

on the day of graduation.

Why didn't you say so earlier then?

I was afraid you'd ignore me.

I definitely want to ignore you now.

What else do I not know?

The Dream of 900 Million Girls

is...

Jiang Junnan.

The Dream of 900 Million Boys

is his alternate account.

Then he also...

Let's not talk anymore.

Also...

Say it.

Jiang Junnan and Wheat are my roommates.

As for Camel,

he was my neighbor growing up.

So they...

Yue Qianling.

I'm warning you. Don't follow me.

I'm sorry.

So...

How will you punish me?

Are you still ignoring me?

I'll stop

when there are only women left in the world.

Is there a better alternative?

When only men are left in the world then.

Actually,

I confessed to you before.

Actually...

I am Campus Hunk.

I know.

Gu Xun, Campus Hunk of Dongning University.

Don't show off in front of me again.

-By Campus Hunk, I mean... -In the company,

we are colleagues.

But in private,

I don't want anything to do with you.

Yue Qianling, I...

"402."

Gu Xun.

I...

I'm so pissed.

CHAT WITH CAMPUS HUNK

What?

Just checking if you've blocked me yet.

STICKY DOUGH TWIST HAS BLOCKED CAMPUS HUNK

I'm sorry.

YUE QIANLING

I was wrong!

THE MESSAGE WAS SENT BUT REJECTED BY THE RECEIVER

JIANG JUNNAN

Hello. What's with the video call?

What's with you, buddy? I sent so many messages to you,

but you didn't respond.

I didn't see them.

What happened to your neck?

What's going on?

That was...

Someone...

hit me.

Finally.

Vigilante justice.

Could it be

that she found out?

Dough Twist is ruthless.

Why do you have so much to say?

Gu Xun, you are terrible!

You jerk!

Liar!

Gu Xun!

I'll never forgive you!

Stay away from me!

Fine.

You need to wake up.

Let me help you.

Scram.

Excuse me, are there any more sandwiches?

I'm sorry. We're all out.

I'll give you all of mine.

I'll probably get food poisoning from them.

The yellow one is better.

How childish.

Good work, everyone.

I bought some snacks.

Share it.

-Thank you, Mr. Gu. -Thank you, Mr. Gu.

-He's so generous. -Thank you, Mr. Gu.

Cilantro flavor?

Give me one of those.

Leave this one for Qianling.

-Don't you like the strawberry flavor? -Okay, give it to me.

Take this.

Hey.

After showing off your charm,

has Jiang Junnan been treating you differently?

Don't even talk about it.

I've been showing off the left side of my face, as you said.

But today, he came to me out of the blue.

Did he ask you out?

He asked if I had a stiff neck from a bad sleeping posture.

Don't be sad.

Here, eat this.

THE NINTH BUSINESS UNIT GROUP CHAT

Weekly reports are due tomorrow morning.

Everyone, send them to me by private message now.

Do I have to send one even if I'm just here to learn?

Yes, he said everyone.

GU XUN: I'M GU XUN OF THE NINTH BUSINESS UNIT GROUP CHAT

You haven't sent it yet, Qianling?

Mr. Gu messaged me

to get you to hurry and send it to him.

That's odd. Why didn't he just message you?

WEEKLY REPORT

I've received it.

These chips are delicious.

They're cilantro-flavored. No wonder. Where did you get them?

Do you like them so much?

Mr. Gu bought these for us as a treat.

-What's wrong? Where are you going? -I'm throwing up.

Are they expired?

The composition here needs a little work.

Also, check this one.

Okay.

Qianling. Let's go to the bookstore after work.

Sure. Let's go together.

Qianling.

I found a flying heroine character.

I think it's a great image.

She's valiant.

It's perfect for Lin Zhi, right?

But she's not very bright.

She's a little dumb.

-I think... -You're the dumb one.

Lin Zhi is very smart, okay?

Flying heroine, right?

I'll check the library later.

If you don't think it's a good image,

there's one more,

Feng Baobao from Under One Person.

I think she's quite a character.

But...

I was too late.

-She's a little... -The puppy is...

-How can I put it? She... -Wait.

I have to go now.

No, I wasn't done...

Come.

Come, Pudding.

Be good.

Here.

Pudding.

How are you? Are you okay?

What's with your face?

Wait.

What was that picture you sent?

I'm talking about the photo you sent.

Do you mean its mouth?

I don't know who fed him dragon fruit.

It's all over his mouth. Right, Pudding?

-It's everywhere. -Pudding.

It gave me a scare.

Pudding, look at me.

Who fed you the dragon fruit?

Bite him.

Good boy, Pudding.

Pudding, here.

It wasn't you, was it?

Impossible.

I had the same reaction just now.

I thought something was wrong.

Look. It's all over its mouth. Right, Pudding?

Pudding,

-you're such a glutton. -Gu Xun,

you used your position as my leader to get me to add you back.

Now, you're tricking me with a puppy.

What do you want?

You keep lying to me again and again.

I want to apologize.

There's no need.

I'm begging you.

We're just co-workers at work.

After work, let's pretend the other is dead. Okay?

Pudding.

Teach me.

How do you usually interact with female dogs?

Pudding.

Pudding.

Say something, Pudding.

Pudding.

Tomorrow is our university's anniversary.

It's a weekend. Let's go back together.

Will Gu Xun be there?

It's none of my business if he goes or not.

I'll go if I want to.

Let's go.

YUE QIANLING: LET'S GO

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Gu Xun,

you're developing a triple-A game right after graduation.

When I graduate,

I'll submit my resume to you too.

That's flattering.

We'll surely take care of you.

-Then thank you in advance. -You're welcome.

We're ready now.

Okay, let's go.

I'm sorry, Junnan.

We'd like to interview Gu Xun alone first.

Okay, sure.

Gu Xun, as a distinguished alumnus of this class,

is there anything you'd like to say to your juniors?

It has been a while.

Yes.

ALUMNI WALL

Let's take a picture.

-Sure. -Here.

There's an alumni wall. Let's take a look.

That's Gu Xun.

GU XUN, GRADUATED IN 2023 AS A COMPUTER SCIENCE MAJOR

Honestly,

he's pretty handsome.

What a waste of a handsome face.

Is this Jiang Junnan?

Why is he so rustic?

He didn't look confident.

Did he...

He had plastic surgery.

That makes sense.

Why aren't we up there?

It's fine.

We'll shine in the future.

Thank you for the interview.

Thank you.

-Why didn't she end up interviewing me? -Excuse me.

Thank you.

I saw the alumni wall over there.

Your pictures from freshman to senior year are on it.

Do you want to take a look?

I'm not going.

Don't you want to reminisce the old times?

The past isn't worth mentioning.

I'm not going.

Right.

There's a water balloon match later.

We're two players short.

Do you want to join us?

Do you think it's a good idea,

considering his current status?

I'll join.

Great. I'll go and get ready. See you.

What's on your mind?

Take a sip of tea and cheer up.

What's our goal?

Mess with him.

Take advantage of your long legs.

I got my long legs from height-boosting insoles.

Are you ready?

Take your positions!

I'm sorry. Wait a moment.

Hey, can we exchange ribbons?

Gu Xun.

Okay.

Thank you.

You traitor.

Take your positions! Ready.

Gu Xun made such a mess of himself to protect you.

I didn't ask him to do it.

Yue Qianling.

I've been meaning to make a formal apology.

Whatever my reasons were,

it was my fault for hiding it from you.

I'm sorry.

I don't expect you to forgive me,

but I hope you'll give me a chance

to redeem myself.

Let's go.

Dough Twist, go online now.

ANOTHER WIN

I'm busy.

There's a team called Empress Dowager who wants to fight us.

They challenged us.

This team's record is on par with ours.

What do you say? Do we fight?

Let's go. We're afraid of no one. Dough Twist, what do you say?

They're coming on strong.

I can play.

I'll bring one more person in.

That way, some people don't have to fight.

I...

That's a bit harsh on him, isn't it?

Just tell me if it's okay or not.

Yes, of course.

I agree.

I'm going to play then.

Hello.

The phone you have dialed is powered off.

SU ZHENG

SU ZHENG

Do you want to game together?

DO YOU WANT TO GAME TOGETHER?

Watch out for the grenade.

Move!

Wheat!

Watch out for the grenade.

This one was really my fault.

I'm done. I'm going back to work.

It's okay.

EMPRESS DOWAGER

Girl, you're good.

But the team is bad.

Who are you calling "bad"?

Let's play again.

If you're scared, then forget it.

Guys,

this Empress Dowager is talking crap about you all.

Let's play again.

I'll find someone else.

No problem.

We want revenge.

Will she add you?

She lost so badly.

She definitely wants revenge.

My win rate has dropped a bit recently.

Let's have a go.

Think of it as a favor.

Please. I beg you.

Carry me.

You can play,

but no talking.

How dare you look down on us?

CHAT WITH STICKY DOUGH TWIST

Can we talk for a second?

Why are you following me?

I wanted to ask

when will you take me off your blacklist.

Sure.

If you jump down from here, I'll take you off.

It's a deal then.

I won't go back on my word.

Are you really doing what I said?

Are you nuts?

What do I have to do for you to forgive me?

Give me an idea.

Mr. Gu, there's a meeting in ten minutes.

See you upstairs.

That wraps up our discussion

on the character designs.

Do you have anything to add?

Based on the original battle mode,

I'd like to add a new setting

called Bullet Space.

When Lin Zhi or Ming Chen

faces a group of people alone,

this space can be activated when the mind power bar is full.

There are three enemies.

When Lin Zhi is focusing on one of the enemies,

the other two are frozen in time.

Lin Zhi and the one in focus

will be transported to another dimension

to battle head-to-head.

This mode

showcases the player's finesse.

Players can constantly switch between

the one-to-many and one-to-one modes

if they're skillful enough.

It'll allow players to utilize Bullet Space to do more with less.

That means very frequent space and close-up switches.

Wouldn't it be better

to use AI support

to secure frame rate stability?

As for the graphics,

Yue Qianling has refined Lin Zhi's weapons.

She added a whip form and a shield form.

Fan Xing also refined Ming Chen's model

by adding some details on the belt

to make the character look a little more polished.

Nice work.

I'm very confident

about the voting meeting later on.

Keep up the good work, guys.

Xinyi.

We're having a department gathering.

See you at the restaurant downstairs in 30 minutes.

Didn't you say it's a department gathering?

Aren't we part of the same department?

Mr. Gu wants to give you a treat.

You've been working so hard

and you've finalized the draft.

We're happy for you.

This isn't necessary.

It's only right that I do my job well.

-So, are we going to eat or not? -Sure.

I'm already here. Of course I have to eat.

Order whatever you want.

Waiter, give me a dozen plates of cilantro. Thank you.

I got it.

Thank you.

This draft of Lin Zhi exceeded everyone's expectations.

I was right about you.

That's right.

Do you two remember

an article in the magazine, EDGE,

about the characters in Stranded?

For the design of their important characters,

they worked with top actors

by using their faces as NPCs

while also inviting them to participate in the story.

Do you mean Lin Zhi should work with celebrities too?

Yes.

I disagree.

Selling games with marketing tactics

cannot solve the problem.

Would you buy a game

just because the characters are celebrities?

It depends on who the person is.

If it's a good match for Lin Zhi,

it might work.

For example?

For example...

She is quite popular.

She's a champion at the World Wushu Championships,

a sixth-generation tai chi master, and a master of all weapons.

Ling Yu.

-She's that... -That sixth-generation tai chi master?

Yes. This year, she won international gold medals

in boxing, sword, and blade fighting.

It's a fit for Senluo Morph.

-She's perfect. -Senluo Morph can morph infinitely.

It pairs perfectly with move combos.

If it's Lingyu,

she might actually be able to do it.

Perfect.

Give it a shot.

Have the proposal done by today.

You know Lin Zhi best.

You make the presentation.

-No problem. I'll be off then. -That's great.

-Then let's... -Then let's go.

But

we haven't finished our lunch.

IMAGE COLLABORATION PROPOSAL: LING YU AND LIN ZHI

SUBJECT: LIN ZHI AND LING YU IMAGE COLLABORATION PROPOSAL

EMAIL SENT

GU XUN

I've sent it to Ling Yu.

We're leaving now, Qianling.

No, but you're suddenly asking me to move out.

I don't have time to look for a place.

I have to work every day,

and you won't return my deposit.

It's so unfair.

I can't afford to rent a new place.

I can't believe you're mentioning the deposit.

I wasn't going to say this,

but thanks to you, the shelf has gone yellow

and my imported sofa looks old now.

Your deposit won't even cover the cleaning bill.

Ma'am,

as per the contract,

if the landlord cancels the contract early due to personal reasons,

she needs to refund the tenant's rent for the month.

She also needs to pay one month's rent as a penalty.

As for the sofa and shelf, that's normal wear and tear.

It wouldn't be in the contract.

So you have to pay the penalty.

Otherwise, we'll see you in court.

Don't scare me.

A lawyer costs more than the deposit.

Yes. So not only will you have to pay the penalty,

but also the legal fees.

As it happens, I'm licensed to practice law,

so Xinyi doesn't have to pay for it.

Wait for a lawyer's letter tomorrow.

Do you know how to handle this now?

You're amazing.

You've even got a lawyer's license.

I made it all up.
