BASED ON THE NOVEL EVERYONE LOVES ME BY QIAO YAO

ALL ANIMAL ACTORS WERE FILMED UNDER SUPERVISION. DO NOT ATTEMPT

Dead.

Dead.

Hey.

Shot. Dead.

Man, how can you do that?

What?

I remembered the first time we met.

When you called me a camper?

Shot.

How much do you have left?

You can't hold it like this. That's too tight.

And you have to aim at the enemy.

Aim this point and this point

at the enemies.

Align the three points.

Here they come again.

Practice by yourself, okay?

Are you okay?

Are you afraid?

Yes.

It's okay. I'll protect you.

Okay.

Stay close.

Shot.

Xinyi.

You can give up on men,

but you can't give up your kingdom. Let's go.

Jiang Junnan.

Dead.

Are you okay?

I have one wish before I die.

Can I add you on WeChat?

We got the budget this time,

thanks to everyone in the Ninth Business Unit.

Come.

Here's to everyone.

-To Mr. Gu. -Come on. Let's drink to Mr. Gu.

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

Thank you for your hard work.

Drink this.

I'll drive today.

Look, everyone is happy.

It's a bummer if the boss doesn't drink.

Okay.

-No need to be so formal. Take a seat. -Okay.

Come on.

By the way, Qianling,

I have a friend from college

whose roommate just moved out.

I'm going to move there in a couple of days.

Are you moving out so soon?

But my place really is too small.

Just wait. When I make a lot of money,

-I'll bring you back. -Okay.

Come on.

-Lin Zhi's image is decided. -The graphics team

-contributed a lot to our success. -The programming should be easier now.

No one will cook for me after you're gone.

What should I do?

-You've worked hard. -Where does your friend live?

-Thank you. -Is it far?

-Drink less. We have work tomorrow. -It's okay. It's close to the office.

I'd like to say something.

Here,

I'd like to thank Mr. Gu

and Mr. Jiang.

Without both of your support,

there's no way I would've returned to triple-A games.

I'd like to thank all of you too.

Without your help,

I wouldn't be able to fulfill my triple-A game dream.

Thank you all.

I like the Ninth Business Unit too.

Stop with the formality.

We earned this success ourselves.

Keep up the good work.

-Come on. Cheers. -Come on.

-Cheers! Keep it up! -Cheers!

-Thank you, everyone. -Good work, everyone.

Thank you all.

I'm really jealous of your Ninth Business Unit.

The spirit is great.

I admire you so much.

You're an expert in your field.

It's ours.

I'm fine with it.

It's our Ninth Business Unit.

You're a key animator,

a part of our department.

That's right, Qianling.

Stop running back and forth. Just join us.

That's right, Qianling.

Why don't you just join us? It'd be great.

Yes. You're very good.

We've seen what you can do.

Let's work together.

Come on over.

Everyone wants you to come.

-Yes. -Yes, join us.

Come.

-We all admire you. -Come.

Join us.

We need you.

Mr. Jiang.

Mr. Jiang.

You're partying with another department.

Have you finished your work?

It's off working hours.

Are you trying to control that too?

I'm disciplining my own staff.

Is it any of your business?

Your own staff?

Who are you talking about?

Mr. Jiang.

Mr. Gu must be a good teacher.

Why else would my staff shine so brightly

when they come to you?

Leaders who don't know how to manage

have this concern.

Mr. Gu is so fierce.

This is also my first time seeing him like this.

That's because he's drunk.

He becomes extra wicked.

Don't let it get to you.

They've always been like this.

Why?

Jiang Yishi was a third-year graduate student

and the student council president.

Gu Xun and I were sophomores.

At a game innovation competition held by the school,

Jiang Yishi saw Gu Xun's ability

at first glance.

They loved the battle mode you designed.

Our proposal has passed.

-Really? -Really!

-That's great! -Jiang Yishi often took Gu Xun

on small projects for different companies.

Gu Xun was bold and innovative,

while Jiang Yishi pushed their projects forward.

Their partnership successfully got them many projects.

Other than recognizing each other's talent,

they couldn't agree on anything else.

They even had different tastes for sticky rice dumplings.

They also supported different teams.

Just like their personalities,

they were born opposites.

In short,

they're incompatible.

Their relationship came crashing down over time.

I remember the day of Jiang Yishi's graduation.

It was a beautiful day.

Wait, guys.

You're just splitting up for now.

The industry is so small.

You'll surely meet again.

I'll take the computer.

The payware is mine.

No, stop.

Help me tell him that I did so much

to get him a chief programmer position.

Yet, he rejected it. What is the meaning of that?

Yes. Gu Xun...

I heard him.

You tell him this.

He wants to make money with his games,

but I want to grow.

-I can't afford to waste two years. -Yishi, he...

I heard him.

You tell him this.

He's a college boy making triple-A games.

Who will invest in him?

-Who will invest in you? -You won't know until you try.

Try? For what?

It's impossible.

Yishi. Wait.

Those with the surname Jiang are all terrible.

Wait. What?

My surname is Jiang too.

I'm telling you.

At the bar behind our school,

they tied for first place in darts.

Tied? Says who?

I was the one who won first place.

You like to talk big. Shall we play a round?

Bring it on.

Gu Xun, victory is yours!

Who said that?

Not me.

-You? -No! It wasn't me.

You said that, didn't you?

Hey, Jiang.

If you're not good enough,

don't take it out on my staff.

Who's not good enough?

You, of course.

Get this straight.

You're not good enough.

And you're good enough?

Don't fight!

Don't fight!

Slow down. There are steps.

Take it easy.

It's fine. I'm not drunk.

I know.

-Take it easy. -I'm not drunk.

Be careful!

Are you okay?

Where's my phone?

Why do you need your phone?

I want to call Feng Ruru.

Phone!

Where are you, dear phone? Where?

It's with me.

So that's where you are.

I was looking for you.

I'm calling.

What's the first thing I should say?

JIANG JUNNAN

You're calling me.

-Don't say a word. -No, you're calling...

What's the first thing I should say?

If it were me, I might want to...

Yes, that's right.

I know what to say.

Why isn't she answering my call?

She's not answering.

Is she asleep?

Hello.

I'm sorry

for calling you this late.

-I'm... -Be careful.

I'm Jiang Junnan.

We played Outdoor Real-Life CS together today.

When I first saw you,

I remembered a song.

I forgot the rest.

I think you're quite special.

Can I be your friend?

Can I be your friend?

Hello?

Do you hate me?

Do you hate me?

No, I don't.

If you don't hate me,

can I be your friend?

Yes.

Great.

It's getting late.

I'll call you tomorrow.

You should go to bed.

I did it.

She's willing to be my friend.

Be careful.

We're friends now.

Hey, Jiang!

No...

That's enough.

You won, so stop looking.

Tell me. Is he better, or am I better?

You are.

You're the best.

Come on.

It's here.

Stop! That's not it!

Where's your car key? Give me your car key.

Stop moving. Give me the car key.

Car key.

Give me the car key.

Why are you touching me?

Do you think I want to touch you?

Come here. Be obedient.

I'm looking for the key.

Now, where is the key?

Gu Xun, let's go.

Here.

Come this way.

I...

If I said that

I wanted to put your seatbelt on, would you believe me?

I don't believe it.

Are you trying to...

I want to hit you.

I believe you.

Then...

when are you going to pay

the five million you owe me?

Tomorrow, okay?

Really?

I'll give you everything if you like it.

I'd like that.

Give me a promotion and a raise tomorrow.

Give me your properties and cars too. Is that okay?

Why should I give them to you?

Has he sobered up?

Shouldn't they be our joint properties?

Men.

No matter how much they can drink,

they can't act decently afterward.

Our next task

is to complete the promotional video for Hero's Path.

You can all express your ideas

regarding the structure, style, and content.

In addition to style and flair,

we have to set a hook

to whet the players' appetites.

Actually, for this kind of teaser,

we could add hidden bonus elements

to make players explore on their own.

If that's the case,

the graphics team has prototypes and finalized drafts of key animations

that players might be interested in.

We could also include

behind-the-scenes footage of the promotional video

so the players feel more involved.

Okay, I'll make the arrangements.

Contrasting personality

and nobility

complement one another and coexist.

Goodness, I have to present later. I'm so nervous.

There's no reason to be nervous.

The people at the meeting later

will just be our usual coworkers.

You can do it.

By the way,

I heard that today's meeting

will probably announce the group leader for The Love Broker.

I heard that Yin Jun has been preparing for this position

for over a month.

Isn't he already the group leader for Miracle Kid?

He wants to transfer.

Everyone wants to climb higher.

Miracle Kid is stable already.

That project bonus will definitely be less than The Love Broker.

I'm sure he wants more.

It's up to Mr. Jiang to decide.

Sure.

Then let's all come up with a plan first.

Thank you everyone.

Hold on.

I have another important announcement to make.

Mr. Gu specifically arranged this.

In addition to regular bonuses,

each team can select a top employee

for additional performance incentives.

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

Fan Xing,

we'll recommend you for the graphics team.

Mr. Wei.

I don't deserve it.

It should be Qianling.

If not for her work on Lin Zhi,

Project Department One

would be the one celebrating now.

I've asked Mr. Gu.

She doesn't belong to our department.

The paperwork won't pass.

Well, we can't let her work for nothing.

For example, I designed the characters

not only to ground the characters given by the design team

but also to dig deeper into the characters' backgrounds and hearts.

Finally,

I'd like to talk a little bit outside of my expertise.

This time, the best thing I learned

at my part-time job is not to limit yourself.

If you don't push yourself, you'll never know your capability.

But if you do push yourself,

you'll realize that you have more potential

than you ever thought.

Because I didn't set limits for myself,

I got creative

with this Cute Pets Project

for The Love Broker.

People usually have the impression

that an aristocratic man

usually has a dog,

and they are usually famous breeds,

such as French Bulldogs and beagles.

But this time, I designed a stray rural dog

for the male protagonist.

Stray rural dog?

It shows the kindness and patience of the male protagonist.

I think we could also add a gameplay of him teaching players

how to tame stray dogs or something similar,

which adds more interaction.

In addition to the one I described,

the personalities of the other pets are also very clear.

The designs of each pet

and the male protagonists

complement each other very well.

For example, the male protagonist

playing with the cute Bichon Frisé

highlights his contrasting personalities.

Awarding Yue Qianling

for getting us the budget and winning the crown.

YOU'RE THE KEY ANIMATOR EXPERT IN OUR HEARTS

I have an announcement to make.

Yue Qianling was able to juggle the work of both departments

and even did very well.

Moreover, she was able to design

these cute pets and give meaning to them

in such a short period.

So I've decided.

From now on,

the graphics art team leader for The Love Broker will be...

Yue Qianling.

Did you just finish work?

Yes.

I heard you got promoted.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Cockroach!

It's going to your place!

Mom.

Hi, Mrs. Yue.

Hello.

What's going on?

Is that your game-playing boyfriend?

No, he's my boss.

Your boss?

Hello, sir. I'm her mother.

How could you trouble your boss to bring you home?

-Sir, please come... -Mom.

He lives across the hall.

Do you live across the hall?

What a match.

No, I mean...

What's your name, sir?

I'm Gu Xun. I'm not her rightful boss yet,

but that could change.

That's great.

You're so tall.

Are you single, Mr. Gu?

Yes, I'm single.

Mom.

I've been keeping something from you.

I have to tell you today.

Tell me.

Actually, I'm an immortal. I'm not allowed to fall in love.

-It's against the rules of Heaven. -Immortal?

-Mom! -If you're an immortal,

why did you let him carry you?

There was a cockroach.

Would an immortal be scared of a cockroach?

Yes.

Mr. Gu, you...

Mom!

I'm so tired, and it's so late.

What are you doing?

Mrs. Yue.

The cockroach! I'm...

Mrs. Yue, I just live across the hall.

Come in and have a seat.

Call me if there's a cockroach.

-Your strength... -I'll use a little more force.

-Mom! -You're so professional.

-Is this okay? -Yes.

It hurts quite a bit.

-Relax your muscle before meal. -You're too professional.

You're good at this.

Why are you here?

What do you mean?

He came to bring you breakfast,

but you were sleeping and just wouldn't wake up.

He has been doing chores for the past two hours.

He did the laundry,

mopped the floor, and he's even giving me a massage now.

Sit down.

That's enough, Mr. Gu. Have a seat.

-It's fine, Mrs. Yue. -Hurry and sit. Let's eat.

Take a seat.

I'm sorry to keep you busy all morning.

-It's fine. -Come.

Have a taste. This is my homemade bean curd.

Try it and see if it's good.

Don't take too much. It'll be too salty.

How is it?

It tastes exactly like what I used to have as a kid.

That's how my mom made it.

That's great if you like it.

There's another jar over there. Take it if you want.

Thank you, Mrs. Yue.

You're welcome.

Eat up.

Eat more, Qianling.

Eat fried dough sticks. Porridge is not filling.

Seeing you young people together

reminds me of when I was young

and her dad was pursuing me.

Her dad was just like you.

He also delivered breakfast,

did my laundry, did my chores,

and also gave me a massage.

Do you know what?

His dad was the school hunk of Xicheng No. 1 Middle School.

He had a lot of admirers.

Mrs. Yue.

Were you from Xicheng No.1 Middle School?

Yes.

My mom was too.

-Your mom was from our school? -That's right.

What's her name?

Her name is Gu Yunping.

-Your mom is Gu Yunping? -Yes.

-You're her son? -That's right.

Guess what.

We were classmates.

-What a coincidence! -That's such a coincidence.

Your mom and I were classmates

and you live with my daughter.

This is fate.

Mom!

Calm down.

We live opposite each other.

Well, it's almost the same anyway.

That's a generalization.

Right?

Mr. Gu, I'll leave my daughter in your hands now.

Please take good care of her. She's a sloppy kid.

Mom!

Mrs. Yue, it's what I should do.

Good.

Also, I looked around as I was coming here.

This neighborhood of yours

is not very secure.

Look. There are so many people

coming in and out,

but you know that security guard

was just playing with his phone.

Mrs. Yue, don't worry.

I'll bring her home myself

if she finishes work late.

That's great.

Mr. Gu,

other than that,

you can also share meals.

Yes, I can cook.

Then let's have dinner together every night.

Every night?

Once every two days is fine too.

But Mrs. Yue,

the thing is,

Qianling likes spicy food.

-It's not good for the stomach. -Chili peppers drain dampness.

-Mom! -I've also said

that foot baths also drain dampness. Why don't you do that?

I told you not to read articles on influencer accounts.

They're all frauds.

Eat your breakfast.

You eat too, Mr. Gu.

Right.

Mr. Gu.

-Leave me your number. -Sure, Mrs. Yue.

If anything happens to her, I'll call you.

Sure, call me anytime.

Here's my number.

-Okay. -Mrs. Yue.

Stop being so formal with me.

Just call me Xiaogu.

That's not a good idea.

Why not? Just call me Xiaogu.

Okay, I'll write a remark.

"Cutie Xiaogu."

Why are you so weird today?

Do you have something against me?

No.

I just promised Mrs. Yue that I'd take care of you.

How could I be against you?

Did I do something wrong?

You did the laundry, cooked,

did the dishes, and gave her a massage.

You should win an Oscar this year.

Dear,

I'm leaving.

Mom.

Why don't you stay for a few more days? Why leave so soon?

I was here to get medicine for your grandpa

and just stopped by to see you.

Your grandpa is worried.

He has no medicine. I have to go now.

-I'm leaving. -Mrs. Yue, I'll take you.

It's okay.

-That's too much trouble. It's okay. -No way.

If Mrs. Yue misses the bus,

it'll take two hours to get a taxi.

It'll be late with no subway running.

-It's not safe. -Yes.

You're absolutely right.

Then Xiaogu, thank you.

It's my pleasure, Mrs. Yue.

Mrs. Yue, there's a new dim sum place downstairs.

Let's buy some for Qianling's grandpa.

You're so caring.

You've been staring at me since your mom left.

Is there something on my face?

You weren't like this with my mom.

Are you up to something?

Yes.

You...

You were chosen as the graphics team's best employee yesterday.

Yes.

They even ordered a trophy online.

I appreciate that.

I thought Mr. Jiang was going to kill me.

But who knew...

Not only did he not kill you,

he even promoted you.

Yes.

What do you think is on his mind?

You were promoted because of your ability.

You're right.

I think he promoted you

because he wants to keep you.

That's fair enough.

You're eventually going to come to the Ninth Business Unit

to focus on Hero's Path anyway.

How can you be so sure?

I'm a group leader now.

So what?

You can shine even brighter

at the Ninth Business Unit.

Well, that's not for certain.

Don't assume that you've won me over.

Fine, let's make a bet then.

On what?

If you come to us,

then promise me one thing.

What is it?

We'll decide that later.

I feel like there's a catch.

Are you scared?

No way.

Then let's bet on it.

Then if you lose...

you have to call me your master on the server.

Deal?

Deal.

What's wrong, Xinyi?

You're finally here, Qianling!

I came to pick up the hard drive I left at your place,

but there's a cockroach!

What? A cockroach?

Where is it?

It's in the bedroom.

Let me deal with it.

It's a big one.

It's okay.

I don't think it's in here.

-But I just saw... -You're mistaken!

But I did see...

A cockroach!

It's behind you!

Qianling,

you're awesome.

Were your shoes

always like this?

I think I kicked it on the way out.

I'll have you take this then.

Please take care of it.

Thank you, my good neighbor.

He's pretty good at this.

He left you hanging by not telling you the stakes.

But you're the group leader of The Love Broker now.

Can you also handle supporting Hero's Path?

I have to do it regardless.

I have to work hard

and aim to get good results on both sides.

Hello?

I'm almost home. I'm hanging up.

Hey, Gu Xun!

Open the door, Gu Xun!

Gu Xun!

What's wrong?

Calm down. Speak slowly.

I...

I think...

I'm being followed.

I...

I didn't dare to open my door,

so I...

Did he follow you upstairs?

I...

I didn't see.

I took the elevator.

He might have taken the stairs.

Before I knocked on your door,

I heard something in the stairwell.

Has it ever happened before?

Am I

being too paranoid?

Were your shoes

always like this?

I think I kicked it on the way out.

I noticed your shoes were touched before.

I think you're being watched.

How is that possible?

Let's go and check the cameras.

Regarding the cameras in your building,

there was a couple who fought

from downstairs to the elevator

and then to the door.

Then they made up

and felt ashamed,

so they snuck into the security office

and deleted the video.

It caused the system to be infected with a virus.

Some of the buildings' surveillance systems just can't be fixed.

It won't connect to the camera.

Don't you have any other backups?

We don't.

But I'm going to suggest my boss

to install one quickly.

Can I take a look at your system?

Okay.

Here.

How about this?

I have a program at home that fixes camera systems.

We can try that.

I'm sorry,

but I don't have the authority.

I can't make that call.

What if the system goes down again?

I can't bear the responsibility.

Let's wait for the company to arrange for maintenance.

Okay. I'll push the management to get on it.

Could it have been a delivery guy?

Did you get a good look at him?

Some residents

request delivery guys

to deliver to their door.

So delivery guys might come up too.

Definitely not.

He wasn't wearing a uniform.

As for his face...

I didn't get a good look at him.

Let's go.

Thank you.

Let's make a police report.

I'm done

with your statement.

But since no real harm was done,

we'll just open a case first.

If anything happens,

we'll dispatch faster

than other normal cases.

But young man, I have to say,

since your girlfriend went home so late,

you should've picked her up.

-No, I'm... -Yes.

It was my fault.

There have been many reports

of women living alone being stalked and burglarized.

The criminals are ruthless.

I understand.

I'll never leave her alone again.

What the hell?

He's not my boyfriend.

See? Your girlfriend wants to break up with you.

Miss,

don't be angry.

He looks pretty honest.

Give him another chance.

Never mind. Okay.

Thank you for your help. We'll leave now.

-Okay. -Okay, thank you.

What are you doing?

JIANGCHENG POLICE

Thank you.

Give me your phone.

EMERGENCY CONTACT

Try this.

Press the power button five times in a row.

EMERGENCY CONTACT: GU XUN

YUE QIANLING

I'm your emergency contact now.

If you're ever in danger,

I'm the first person you can turn to.

Gu Xun,

thank you.

I would've been so panicked

without you tonight.

Who's there?

It's me.

Wait a minute.

Yue Qianling?

Wait.

Yue Qianling.

Yue Qianling.

Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

I'm fine.

Wait. What happened?

I took some extra precautions.

Precautions?

The garbage I left by the door is gone.

-Did some... -It was me.

I threw it out for you.

Leave your garbage at the door from now on.

I'll throw it out for you.

Thank you.

It's late. Why did you come?

I'll put precautionary measures in place for you.

It's locked.

So you want me to hang your laundry?

I see you ordered a man's shirt.

It's unrealistic to always hang up the same shirt.

When the season changes,

I'll come back and swap them out.

Thank you.

Remember to keep the door locked.

If you still feel uneasy,

then do it your way.

I'll be going then.

Okay.
