BASED ON THE NOVEL EVERYONE LOVES ME BY QIAO YAO

ALL ANIMAL ACTORS WERE FILMED UNDER SUPERVISION. DO NOT ATTEMPT

Mr. Gu, here's the storyboard of Ling Yu's part in the promo.

See if there are any problems.

If there's no problem,

I'll go to the set to confirm the details

of the motion capture session tonight.

No problem.

Ling Yu will go to Haibin tomorrow for an exhibition competition.

It was hard for us to coordinate a time,

so let's not make any mistakes.

No problems. I've arranged it all.

After leaving the karaoke bar last night,

where did you go?

You weren't back until 3:00 a.m.

How did you know that?

I noticed your lights didn't come on until 3:00 a.m.

I was comforting a friend who was heartbroken.

Sorry, I have to go back to Project Department One.

There's a meeting for The Love Broker in five minutes.

Don't worry, Mr. Gu. I'll coordinate my time well

for both departments.

Is your keyboard broken?

You can request a new one from Xinyi.

I've already told Xinyi.

At our rank,

we can only get a regular keyboard.

When I get paid,

I'll get myself a good one.

That's not true.

Mr. Gu paid for your keyboard himself.

I tried to tell you last time.

I guess he was afraid you wouldn't take it if you knew.

I'm guessing.

PROJECT DEPARTMENT ONE

Mr. Yang, let me introduce her to you.

This is the graphics team leader

for The Love Broker, Yue Qianling.

Qianling,

this is my good friend, Mr. Yang, of the Hehuan Pets chain.

Okay. Mr. Yang, for...

FAN XING

FAN XING

Mr. Yang, in our current game design,

we already have a lot of mechanisms.

For example, after our male protagonists

adopt their stray dogs,

the players will be directed

to complete missions

such as buying the dog's daily necessities and food.

Qianling.

Tell Mr. Yang about the presentation of PPL in the game.

Be as detailed as possible.

Okay.

Mr. Yang, in addition to the methods I just mentioned,

we can also insert PPL in the male leads' daily lives.

Okay, I'm very interested in your project.

That's the most important for us.

MISSED CALLS, FAN XING

Then we'll finalize a plan next week.

Okay. We'll talk more about it next week.

Sure.

Okay.

-Thank you, Mr. Yang. -Thank you.

Hello.

The number you have dialed is currently busy.

What else can we do?

Why? Something's wrong with the motion capture.

Okay.

Fan Xing.

We'll talk later.

Ling Yu left early.

She left?

The scheduled time was 6:00 p.m.

It's only 5:00 p.m. now.

Her competition schedule changed,

so we had to move the shoot to the afternoon.

I couldn't find you, so I had to take her to the studio

with the motion capture crew.

I'm not familiar with the storyboard,

so it took some time to do the rundown.

But she had to go to catch her flight before we could finish.

Where were we?

It's over.

There's still a problem with these fight sequences,

but she's already gone.

Her fighting sequence

is the most important part of the promo.

What should we do now?

Her competition goes on for four days.

By the time she's done,

we won't be able to make the promo in time.

It's also Yue Qianling's problem.

We're already so busy.

Why does she keep going to Project Department One?

She's their employee, after all.

But we're busy with...

If you've got time to whine,

you've got time to figure out what to do.

Yes, Ms. Fan Xing.

-Yes, Ms. Fan Xing. -I got it.

Mr. Gu, it's my fault this time.

I'll find a way to make it right.

Lin Zhi is the highlight of the promo.

Her part must be done well.

I understand.

Get to work.

I'll talk to Ling Yu again.

Okay.

Based on the previous capture,

the transition between combos

doesn't reach our expectations

in terms of the thrill it brings the players.

Actually, from what I saw,

the first few parts can be used.

But the main issue is this part.

There's already a jumping action

but look here.

The body has resistance,

so some parts can't be seen.

If we use rear projection,

we should be able to fix some issues.

But it certainly won't have the coherence and subtlety

that we initially expected.

Then should we do another capture again?

Optical motion capture

can only be done in equipped studios.

If only we have equipment that isn't limited by space.

Not limited by space?

What we used before

was optical motion capture.

There's another method called inertial motion capture.

She'll also be more engaged

during her exhibition competition than in the studio.

It was a mistake on my part,

but we've come up with a new capture plan.

Are there any issues?

I've seen the plan.

I also think this would work better.

However,

you'll have to negotiate

with the venue and the organizers here.

No problem.

Thank you.

We've done some research.

This competition is not getting

a lot of attention.

That's why we're suggesting

to shoot more footage for your event.

At the end, we'll give you a nice promotional video

and a behind-the-scenes reel.

What do you think?

Well,

I look forward to a smooth cooperation with you.

The effect

is similar to a martial arts movie, right?

I almost got us

into big trouble this time,

but luckily, we solved it.

However,

I know I didn't handle my work right.

I'm sorry, but I can assure you

this won't happen again in the future.

Can you really guarantee it?

If you want to guarantee it,

it means you have to make a choice.

What is it?

I brought you a video door access system.

Put this on the door,

and you can see what's going on outside.

Isn't this a peephole camera?

It's different.

This connects to your phone.

Whenever someone stays at your door

for more than ten seconds,

it alerts you on your phone.

Also, if someone scouts around your door,

you'll know all about it.

What if I'm not home?

If you don't mind,

you can connect it to my phone too.

That sounds

weird.

How so?

It sounds like a tool for catching cheating partners.

Am I that creepy?

There's also this water leak detector.

If there's a leak for more than three seconds,

an alarm will trigger.

Right.

There's also this.

It's for self-defense.

You should know how to use it.

That's so nice of you.

It's really touching.

You're so well-prepared.

It brings back

some very, very touching memories.

What memories?

When I went to summer camp as a kid,

my grandma

used to shove things down my throat like this.

I think I had this bat too.

-I even used it... -Stop reminiscing. Go to sleep.

Mr. Jiang won't be in tomorrow morning.

The meeting has been moved to the afternoon

to make sure everyone is here.

But...

I have a meeting

with the Ninth Business Unit in the afternoon.

I have to make a choice.

Do I go?

Do I not?

Go? Or don't go?

Should I go?

Should I go?

Xinyi, did Mr. Jiang lose track of time?

Perhaps the investment client

has opinions on the contract,

so Mr. Jiang is stuck with him.

Don't worry. I'll see what's going on.

Please wait for a bit.

That guy is so cool.

He's doing all he can to save her.

If I'm bullied,

will you come to save me?

That's for sure.

You're my girlfriend. If I don't protect you, who will?

I'll definitely save you.

You're the best.

You must treat me well like this forever.

That's for sure.

I will always treat you well.

Mr. Jiang, we have a meeting.

Jiang Junnan,

what are you doing?

I'm watching the movie.

Focus on watching.

Look. That guy is so pitiful.

Yes. It's because he has to protect his girlfriend.

I was right.

It's going very slow over there.

But Mr. Jiang said

not to wait for him.

We can start the meeting first.

He'll be here as soon as he's done.

Okay, let's talk first.

I'd like to discuss

the chapter about the first encounter at the inn.

Aren't there a couple of subplots?

Ruru, my time is up.

I've got a meeting.

You promised to watch a movie with me today.

Optimize them into vegetation.

-It's romantic. -The scene would be better.

Yes.

Mr. Jiang, are you done?

We were just discussing those three subplots.

I've got it all organized. Why don't you take a look

and see which one is better?

We can discuss it later.

Thank you. I don't know what I'd do without you.

I'm sorry, everyone.

Project Department One pays well with less workload.

I just got promoted and my boss values me.

The downside

is the lack of innovation.

The Ninth Business Unit is arduous and tiring,

and I'll earn less money.

The advantage

is I can achieve my dream.

Yue Qianling.

Think about why you decided to work in game development.

Yes,

I learned about triple-A games

because of Gu Xun at first.

But I have to do it for myself now.

But...

if I really go to the Ninth Business Unit,

I'm just asking to be tortured.

Triple-A games are going to crush me.

Then let's do it the old-fashioned way

and flip a coin.

Heads mean yes, and tails mean no.

Boss.

You've been talking to yourself for a while.

What's wrong?

You've even resorted to flipping a coin?

Is it because

of your department transfer?

How did you know?

When you finished Lin Zhi's drawing back then,

I talked to Gu Xun

about transferring you there.

But he declined.

He said he didn't want to interfere too much.

He wants you to make your own decisions.

So have you made a decision yet?

I don't know.

That's why I flipped a coin.

I think

you had your answer

the moment you flipped the coin.

I'm sure you'll face more difficulties

when you join the Ninth Business Unit.

Lin Zhi is only a small part of it.

But at the same time, what you gain

will be even more valuable.

That's something I'm sure you've experienced.

Boss,

may I ask you a question?

Why did you create the Ninth Business Unit?

I had as much trouble making up my mind

as you did back then.

So I flipped a coin as well.

Then...

What was the outcome?

The outcome was not to do it.

But it's because of this outcome

that ended up strengthening my will to do it.

That's because, at that moment,

I suddenly realized

what my heart wanted most.

So the most important thing

about flipping a coin isn't the outcome.

It's...

that you follow your heart.

I got it.

Thank you.

I'll definitely do my part

for Hero's Path.

Do your best. I believe in Gu Xun's choice.

My first job

was in Project Department One.

It was like a teacher to me.

And I learned a lot here.

Stop.

I don't agree with you going to the Ninth Business Unit.

First,

you're perfect for this position,

and you're doing a great job.

Moreover,

you just got promoted.

Who will take over when you're gone?

Can you bear to leave the project halfway done?

Mr. Jiang,

I'm grateful for your promotion.

I've done my best in every task

at Project Department One.

I can give up

all my performance bonuses.

I can also guarantee a good handover.

I'll leave when everyone

gets used to working without me.

There's no way I'm letting you go.

Get to work.

Okay.

I really think you better not get tough with Mr. Jiang.

-Please give me a chicken cutlet. -Okay.

Think about it. If you leave and anger him,

how can you survive in the company?

He'll have a ton of ways to make your life miserable.

But I really want to go to the Ninth Business Unit.

I know.

Good news.

Yue Qianling chose us.

The bad news is that Jiang Yishi won't let her go, right?

You really are the boss here.

Nothing gets past you.

Then should we help her?

She wants to take care of it herself.

MOM

Is it your mom?

Answer it.

Why don't you answer it?

-Mom. -Hey, son.

I sent you so many messages.

Why haven't you replied?

I'm busy with work.

What are you working on?

Where do you work now?

I'm working

at an AI company right now.

Mom, I'm in a meeting.

I'll talk to you later.

Does your mom still not know

you're in game development?

You can't keep hiding it. She has to know sooner or later.

I'll think about it later.

I finally made up my mind,

but it's still going to be difficult

to successfully transfer.

Hello, are you available to attend an offline illustrators' gathering?

Many top dogs of the industry

will be joining this time.

It's a great honor. I'll be there.

Qianling, tell me.

How was your gathering last night?

It was super fun.

We all have the same interests, so we got along easily.

-Really? -Right.

I got you an exclusive autograph

from Nameless Flower.

Exclusive autograph?

I can't believe that Nameless Flower

is actually a handsome guy.

I love you!

I heard that Mr. Jiang

wants to hire Nameless Flower to draw for us.

He asked several times but got ignored.

You're so amazing.

PROJECT DEPARTMENT ONE, PRODUCER

Come in.

Do you need something?

Mr. Jiang.

Mr. Jiang.

I know you've been trying to hire Nameless Flower

to draw for The Love Broker,

but he wouldn't agree.

Maybe I can use my connections to try to get him onboard.

Even the company couldn't do it.

Do you think you can?

Mr. Jiang, Nameless Flower has already promised me.

I've even thought of the tagline for you.

It'll be "The Love Broker

Spends Big for Commercial Artwork."

Are you arranging this

in exchange for your transfer to the Ninth Business Unit?

It's not only that,

but I think we have lots of talent on the graphics team.

I'm sure you'll find

someone better suited to replace me

if you're willing to give them a chance.

The Love Broker

is almost halfway there.

I took every single one

of my drawings seriously,

and I have no regrets.

Now,

it's time to move on to the next stage of my career.

Okay.

It's a deal.

Thank you, Mr. Jiang.

I'll take my leave then.

Qianling,

though I'm really sad to see you go,

I have to say, you look so cool

at the Ninth Business Unit.

Well, I wish you

the best of luck in realizing your dream.

Don't worry.

We'll always be lunch buddies.

Remember what you said.

A lunch buddy is every worker's mental support.

I was really worried

that I would no longer have anyone

who will share drinks with me,

grab coffee in the morning and alcohol at night,

and stick by my side forever.

That won't happen.

Think about it.

Now, we'll have access

to the gossip of two departments.

You're right.

Thank you, Mr. Yin.

Yue Qianling,

you're a dummy.

Do you know that?

Our department is great.

The commission is good,

and the work is much easier.

Forget it.

I won't try to persuade you.

Since you're going there, do your best.

If you don't do well and get fired,

I won't take you in.

Don't worry.

I won't embarrass you all.

That's more like it.

Well, I'll be going.

I'll leave you my work badge

as a souvenir.

I'm off now. Goodbye.

-Goodbye, Qianling. -Goodbye.

Drink up.

It's better than the stuff you usually have.

Why are you here?

No way. Does he want a hug?

The progress bar has jumped to the end.

What's on your mind?

Isn't that heavy?

Here's your work badge.

Thank you.

THE NINTH BUSINESS UNIT, NAME: YUE QIANLING

WELCOME TO THE NINTH BUSINESS UNIT

-Hello, Mr. Gu. Hi, Qianling. -Hello, Mr. Gu.

Hi.

Qianling.

Welcome, Qianling.

Thank you.

These flowers...

I specifically picked out these flowers.

-Aren't they pretty? -Yes, thank you.

And look at this poster.

I spent the whole night picking this.

Doesn't this picture look cute?

Yes.

It's pretty cute.

Isn't that right?

-I spent the whole night on this. -Thank you.

-I'm glad you like it. -Su Zheng.

Su Zheng's tastes

are quite unique.

Do you like it?

So...

You haven't forgotten

about our bet, right?

Are you kidding me?

Am I the kind who doesn't honor a bet?

Say it.

I want you to go somewhere with me.

I'll set the time and place.

It's not a date, is it?

Let it be a date then. I'm not scared.

Sure.

There are ten days left

until this year's biggest games exhibition in Jiangcheng.

In addition to showcasing our ability,

it's also an opportunity to attract investors.

This time, the company got the center booth

and the main screen.

It'll be given to one of the departments.

Then let Mr. Jiang and Mr. Gu fight it out.

We're all pretty aware

of where we stand. Right?

Yes.

The Love Broker and Hero's Path

is the most anticipated at the Games Expo.

Yes.

The Ninth Business Unit

will be releasing a promotional video for Hero's Path in a week.

Project Department One is ready

to start the alpha test for The Love Broker.

We'll find out the results soon.

How about this?

We'll give it to whichever one of you

that gets a better response.

Have you seen the promotional video? Do you have any thoughts?

I was just going to talk to you.

The characters, battle mode, and atmosphere are pretty good.

The ending bonus scene is also enticing.

In conclusion,

it's excellent.

But I feel like something's missing.

I know you're a perfectionist,

but you're really overthinking it.

It's already outstanding.

Since when do you like flower arranging?

These were Qianling's.

The banner Su Zheng made was too flashy.

All the other departments know we got a new beautiful employee.

She received way too many,

so she shared them with everyone.

Wait.

If she doesn't know what to do with them, she could've declined.

It was shoved into her hands.

By the way,

now that Yue Qianling has joined us,

what's your plan?

I plan to...

I think you're too nosy.

As a friend, I'm sincerely giving you advice.

You have to take action to get the girl.

Action proves everything.

Look at Su Zheng's banner,

and look at these flowers.

It's all about sincerity.

Do you get it?

You have no clue.

Shut up.

I've got a few left.

Take action.

She gave them to you. Now, you're giving to me.

You want me to give them back to her?

Are you nuts?

Wait.

Are you cursing at me?

It was fine before I took out the trash.

No way.

Hello.

Ma'am?

The door lock is broken.

If the lock is broken,

you should call a repair company.

Why did you call me in the middle of the night?

Hello, thank you for calling Chenfan Furniture Sales Support.

For after-sales service, press one.

To speak to an agent, press zero.

To continue waiting, press one.

Our office is currently closed.

To repeat, press the hash key.

-Are you serious? -To return to the previous menu,

please press the star key.

Hello, Yin Xue.

Are you home?

I'm in my hometown.

My sister is getting married tomorrow. What's up?

It's nothing.

What's wrong?

Well...

I think my door lock is broken.

Broken?

I think the battery is dead.

I was going to stay at a hotel,

but my ID card is in there.

Just stay at my place for now.

Wear these.

Girls' slippers?

I like to wear a bigger size.

Thank you.

There are matching mugs.

He even has matching pillows?

Do you usually live alone?

Have you seen anyone other than Jiang Junnan come over?

It's getting late.

Let me

use the washroom.

It's that way.

I've changed the bed sheets and blanket.

Do you want to watch a movie?

What movie?

It's a horror film.

Come on.

What are you doing?

I'm a little tired.

I want to lean here for a while.

What are you doing?

The volume is too low.

Yes.

I also think the volume is too low.

Scooch over.

It's fine.

I'm not scared.

But...

I'm scared.

What's there to be scared of?

Do you

hear a noise?

It's like...

the sound...

of crunching.

It sounds

very close.

It's like it's in my ear.

Do you want one?

Does your couch

have a massage feature?

Massage feature?

Help!

It was the curtain.

It's getting late. I'll stop watching.

I'm going to bed.

INCOMING CALL FROM SU ZHENG

Su Zheng? Him again?

Hello.

Is this Qianling's phone?

This is Gu Xun.

Qianling went to sleep.

I thought you weren't dating.

We will be soon.

You're awake.

Let's eat.

We'll go to the office together.

What a feast.

Here you go.

What's this?

How do you know my size?

It's not like you wear a special size.

I can tell at a glance.

I...

Are you thirsty?

Have some water.

I don't want this mug. It's ugly.

Get me another one.

Do you think it's ugly too?

"Too"?

Jiang Junnan gave these to Feng Ruru.

She said they were ugly, so he left them with me.

He said he didn't want to see this pair of failed gifts.

What about the female slippers by the door?

I bought them for you

so you can wear them when you come over.

What about those pillows?

They're Jiang Junnan's.

So the two pillows in the room are also Jiang Junnan's?

No more questions?

Jiang Junnan didn't happen to also prepare this breakfast, right?

What do you think?

I think

it seems like it.

Seems like what?

Like...

Something Jiang Junnan would make.

Dummy.

Pudding.

It's time to eat.

Come.

Come on.

I'll do it.

Hello.

Where did you stay last night?

Are you okay?

I stayed at my neighbor's place.

The neighbor across the hall?

I get it now.

It's not what you think.

You don't have to explain. I understand.

Gu Xun is usually so cold.

Yet, he let you stay at his place

and usually drives you around.

He even caught a bad guy for you.

He definitely likes you.

I'm hanging up. Bye.

Let's go.

-Good morning, Qianling. -Good morning.

Good morning.

It's not big enough. Also, the color

might need to be changed.

Should we make it a little lighter?

Sure. Tell the manufacturers

to make a new version.

Okay. I'll organize this

and give it to them.

I'll look at the others.

-I think the hairpiece could be better. -Yes, look at this.

Overall, this is not bad.

Look at the next one.

Overall, it has oriental elements as well.

Gu Xun is usually so cold.

Yet, he let you stay at his place

and usually drives you around.

He even caught a bad guy for you.

He definitely likes you.

Qianling.

Xinyi, you're here too.

Here, take a look.

-This is so cute. -And it's funny too, right?

I wonder if we could make our weapons like this.

Wouldn't it be awesome?

-Let's go to the meeting room. -Okay.

-Let's go. -Xinyi, let's go discuss it.

Okay.

What are you looking at?

It's nothing.

Get them to tweak the poster.

Focus on your work.

I'll show you when it's done.

NINTH BUSINESS UNIT, PRODUCER

Isn't it a bold idea?

It's similar to what we said before.

Then it's settled.

-Okay. -Okay.

What were you talking about with Su Zheng?

You were laughing so happily.

Su Zheng just suggested

putting up life-size cutouts at the exhibition.

I think it's pretty useful.

Actually, you can discuss it with me.

Anytime.
