(Entrance)

Hello, are you Director Tang and Mr. Xiao?

- Yes. - Yes.

Sorry for being late.

The traffic was awful.

It's okay; it's okay.

Please come this way.

- Alright. - Alright.

Let me help you.

No need, I can manage.

This way.

Let me.

Thanks, Mr. Xiao.

Thanks. Thanks.

Please come in.

- Alright. - Alright.

Let's go.

This is our training room.

This way.

This is the dining area.

This is the meeting space.

Now, let's go up front to sign in.

Okay.

(Jiang Shiyan, Tang Yang)

Arrived at the hotel.

Room 7102.

You're next door.

What a coincidence.

Mr. Xiao, see you later.

Don't be so polite.

Just call my name.

I think Mr. Xiao sounds nice.

Then can I call you Sis?

Sis?

Are you younger than me?

Yeah, I saw your resume.

I'm a year younger.

Okay, you can call me Sis.

- See you later. - See you.

Oh my, did you install surveillance on me?

Once I got in my room,

you called me right away.

I'm about to go to a meeting.

We only have 5 minutes.

You go ahead.

I really want to be your suitcase

so I can follow you.

What's the use of that?

Let me show you.

Here's our schedule.

It's packed for the whole week,

plus group discussions at night.

It seems more intense

than our senior-year classes.

It's really outrageous.

Come on.

Let me show you my schedule.

(Preview of the itinerary)

I feel a bit comforted.

You're suffering like me.

It makes me feel so much better.

When you circle back,

it'll be at least

ten days, right?

Yeah, Feng Weiran's terrible.

He treats me like a human tool.

Show me your room.

What's up?

Here's the sink.

Here's the bed.

I'm a bit jealous.

I'm jealous of your bed.

Jiang Shiyan, can you be serious?

You wanted to be my suitcase just now,

and now you're jealous of my bed.

Don't you have any sense of being

a young CEO,

an internet elite,

and a rising entrepreneur?

Even if I'm a young CEO,

a rising entrepreneur,

and an internet elite,

I still miss my girlfriend.

I'm not a monk.

Stop this nonsense.

I'll wash my face and get to the training.

By the way, send me your hotel address.

Why?

I need directions

in my dreams at night,

or how will I find you?

You really...

You're so ridiculous, Jiang Shiyan.

I'm hanging up.

Wait.

I want to hear you say it.

I love you.

I love you too.

I'm hanging up. So annoying.

(Jiang Shiyan; Call duration: 01:59)

(Tang Yang: Hotel address)

- Hello. - Director Tang.

Please sign here.

Here?

Then take a number.

You're in Group 3.

- At Table 3 over there. - OK, thanks.

Hello, everyone.

I'm also in Group 3.

I'm Tang Yang from the Rongcheng.

Tang as in the dynasty.

Yang as in water.

I'm Chen Zhong from Yushi.

C-H-E-N. Zhong as in loyalty. Hello.

Hello. Hello.

I'm Xia Lanqing from Pujiang.

(Pujiang Director) Lan as in orchid.

(Xia Lanqing) Qing as in green.

We'll work together later.

Yes. That's true. Have a seat.

- Thanks, I'll get it myself. - OK.

(Sign-in Area)

Mr. Xiao.

Hello.

You need to take a number.

Okay.

You're also in Group 3.

Over there.

Okay, thanks.

Sis, you're also in Group 3.

What a coincidence.

What a coincidence.

You're in Group 3 too.

I'm Xiao Qin from the HQ research institute.

Hello, everyone.

Hello.

Take a seat.

Sit down.

Hello.

(Small Microfinance Development Research)

(Endless Potential, Infinite Endurance Launch of Yixiu Online)

The event was a success.

The data is fantastic.

Dingshen called us.

They agree with our valuation

and hope to send someone

for due diligence soon.

Wait until we're back from the trip.

Let's go. We'll talk on the way to the airport.

My luggage is in the car.

Peng Si said you were not going

to Beijing. Why?

Family matters.

What kind of matters?

Not your concern.

I checked.

It's really cold in Beijing these days.

Remember to keep warm.

I'm not going.

You're not going?

When you showed me your itinerary,

I saw you were scheduled to go.

It was canceled.

Where are you going?

Pujiang.

Really?

Really.

You didn't think I'd

miss your birthday,

did you?

No, I definitely know

you remember my birthday.

But I always feel

that you're swamped by work.

Work can't stop me

from being with you.

I originally planned

to take the latest flight

on the evening of the 8th,

but after the meeting,

there's a banquet,

so I've booked a flight

in the morning on the 9th to Pujiang.

Wait for me.

I'll wait for you.

Alright, get some rest early.

Bye-bye.

Everyone,

Professor Peng has something urgent.

We need to adjust

the class schedule next week.

On the 9th, we'll have a day off.

The class will start at 1 pm on the 10th.

Full-day classes on the 11th.

Rest on the 12th.

Please complete the course assignments

Professor Peng assigned earlier

as a group

and submit them before 9 am

on the 10th.

That concludes today's class.

You can take a break

and have dinner.

(Jiang, Tang) A day off in two days.

(Tang Yang)

(Jiang) The heavens are helping us.

Lanqing.

You're a local.

I want to ask

if there are any fun places nearby.

Tell me more.

Just don't make it too far.

There's Lanxi Ancient Town

over two hours away by car.

It's named

after the Lancao Stream

and has beautiful scenery.

The ancient town has

previous tea houses,

breweries,

and guesthouses to stay in.

I'm from that area,

so I have "lan" in my name.

Great. I'll check it out.

By the way,

if you happen to catch the wine festival,

it's especially lively,

with lots of people.

The winery there

has famous wine.

If you get the chance,

you can taste some.

Okay, thanks.

Ms. Wei,

you needed me?

Have a seat.

I asked you to find new pilot projects.

How's it going?

The two companies from last time

are valuable for investment.

One is a biopharmaceutical company.

The other is in encrypted payments.

Both are too specialized.

I want something that isn't so technical.

Ordinary people should

be able to understand it.

So, do you mean

we should aim our project

as much as possible at individual investors,

not institutions?

Working with institutions

takes too long.

Got it, I'll look for more options.

Okay.

Mr. Jiang, the weather forecast

says many flights are grounded.

They canceled all flights?

Yeah, Mr. Jiang.

The weather forecast says there's going

to be heavy rain from tonight

until tomorrow.

The weather won't

improve until at least 4.

Should I reschedule your flight?

I'll think about it.

Hello?

Yes, the earliest flight

is at 5:30 pm tomorrow.

I just checked.

The weather over there is terrible.

If you

take off at 5:30,

you won't arrive here until 7.

I have a class the day after tomorrow,

and you'll have to travel again.

I thought about it.

Such little time isn't

worth the hassle.

Let's just celebrate my birthday

when I get back.

What's your plan for tomorrow?

I haven't figured that out yet.

Well.

I'll sleep until noon.

How about a movie together tomorrow?

How do we do that?

We'll both buy

tickets for the same showtime,

in the same row,

in two seats nearby.

It'll feel just like

we're together.

That's interesting.

It's your birthday; I don't want you

to spend it alone in your room.

I'll be with you.

Alright, I'll check.

10:30.

(Self-service)

(Barcode scanning)

(Ticket collection)

(Tang Yang) I'm here.

Have you arrived yet?

Don't tell me you're not at the cinema.

(Tang Yang)

Seems like the first time

to watch a movie together

as your girlfriend.

Sorry, sorry.

♪Time is the gift I want to give you♪

♪Stay by your side♪

You...

You... You...

Didn't you say

the flight was canceled?

I bought a slow train ticket

last night from Kunzhou

to Pujiang.

I arrived here just after 7 am.

Then I rented a car

and drove for over two hours.

You silly.

Didn't I tell you

not to go through all this trouble?

Why did you have to do this?

Aren't you tired?

Seeing you energizes me.

♪I care about all your regrets♪

♪My heart is content if I can satisfy you♪

Did you miss me?

Yes.

I was pretty sad

when you said you couldn't

come yesterday.

♪Want to continue the journey with you♪

♪This long journey♪

♪I'll bear the hardships for you♪

Son, dear.

Come on.

Honey, you're back.

Did you miss Daddy?

Yes. Did you bring me gifts?

Asking for gifts once Daddy gets back?

Did you finish writing?

Son, listen to your mom.

Go and finish writing.

I will give you gifts.

This suitcase

is full of them.

Keep your promises.

- Good boy. Go now. - Go.

- Honey. - I missed you so much.

You're awake.

The movie is already over?

Why didn't you wake me up?

You slept so soundly.

Didn't want to bother you.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Are you still tired?

Want to go to my hotel

for some sleep?

No.

The nap was enough.

Today is your birthday.

Your colleague recommended Lanxi Ancient Town.

I've rented a car.

Let's drive there.

But it takes two hours to get there.

I think it's a bit far.

But you wanted to go.

Birthdays are all about fulfilling

all wishes.

Let's find something to eat here,

stay there overnight, and come back

the next morning.

You won't miss class.

Then I'll go and pack some toiletries.

Isn't this a mall?

We can buy it here.

That works.

It won't waste time.

Grapes.

It's seedless.

Really?

It should be here.

Peng Si booked it for me.

Finally, we've arrived.

It's already dark.

I thought maybe

we could visit the brewery.

Who would've thought the traffic

would be so awful?

Right.

I'm a bit hungry now.

After we drop off our luggage,

let's go grab a bite.

Sounds good.

Is this the entrance?

I think so.

Why does it feel so empty?

Jiang Shiyan, over here.

(Tang, happy birthday)

(Tang, happy birthday)

(Tang, happy birthday)

Happy birthday.

My Tang.

You wanted to see the festival.

I planned to go to the winery,

but we didn't.

However, I've prepared lots of wine

from various years.

Take a look.

2010.

Grateful for that year.

I met Tang Yang, the most important person

in my life.

2011.

Tang Yang became my buddy.

2012.

My essay was published in the magazine.

Yang used her scholarship

to celebrate with milk tea.

2013.

On graduation day,

we sat by the river all night

until sunrise.

2014.

Yang inspected

our school's cafeteria.

I wrote my first food review,

ranking the university cafeterias.

2015.

I went to do field research.

Yang went abroad

as an exchange student.

We didn't see each other for 7 months.

2016.

Yang decided to apply for a PhD.

I decided to stay at City Weekly

as an editor.

2017.

Yang gave me a camera

as a graduation gift.

2018.

I teamed up with Feng and Cheng

to start Yixiu Found of Food.

Yang helped us negotiate

six months of free office space

in the business park.

2019.

Yang worked overtime with us for a month

to finish the business plan.

We secured Series A.

2020.

While Yang was writing her thesis,

she wrote over 70

food reviews on Yixiu.

2021.

Yang joined CBBC's management program

and had to leave,

but on the day of our first

food ranking release,

she rushed back.

2022.

Yang finally returned to her post,

but I didn't want her to be my buddy anymore.

♪Slowly healing every wound I've ever bore♪

(I didn't want her to be my buddy anymore.)

♪The moments in my palm♪

Thirteen years.

It's such a long, long time.

Yes.

In thirteen years,

you went from Tang Yang to Yang

and then to my beloved Tang.

♪Like the pure moonlight we see♪

I hope you're always

happy and joyful by my side.

Then we will have

many thirteen years.

♪We've cried and laughed before♪

♪Yet you stayed by my side♪

Before, when I saw

all the candy-themed jewelry,

I wanted to buy them for you.

This one is different.

I specially asked

a designer to customize

this one for you.

Happy birthday.

Tang.

I feel so happy.

What's wrong?

Thanks, Jiang Shiyan.

Shanshan.

Happy birthday.

(Xu Shanshan's Tomb) This is sushi and coffee from someone.

There's a message.

Zhou Mo,

I enjoy your lectures.

The coffee and sushi

are a token of thanks.

I don't need this, thanks.

Can you give it to me?

Of course.

Then thanks.

This coffee and sushi,

plus my delivery fee, will be fifty.

Can't waste it.

You're a delivery person?

Yes.

Within the school grounds,

if you want to buy or send something,

(Tomb) you can order it on WeChat.

The delivery time is

from 5 pm to 9:30 pm.

Is your business good

as a delivery person?

Pretty good.

The best part is

I won't miss lessons.

What's your major?

I'm Zhou Mo.

I know. You're my senior.

I'm also in management.

I'm Xu Shanshan.

I thought...

I really was

planning to book

the whole hotel.

There's a great

penthouse suite on the top.

But when I asked Peng Si to book it,

I found out that this hotel

had many rooms booked months ago.

There's only this room left.

I checked other hotels.

They were average.

This one is pretty good.

I thought of that time in college.

Do you remember?

We went on a trip.

To save money,

we only booked one room

and brought sleeping bags

and damp-proof mats.

Girls slept on the bed.

Boys slept on the floor.

Right.

That time in Mordaga.

Yes, yes.

Feng Weiran

snored really loudly.

Later, we had no choice.

- You found an abandoned - Right.

train car beside the hotel.

We set up a tent and slept

in the sleeping bags.

That time was really nice.

Felt like we had endless energy every day.

Now, whenever I work overtime,

I feel like it takes me days to recover.

I...

I'll go take a shower first.

Wait a minute.

(Call from Mr. Xiao)

Hello, Mr. Xiao, go ahead.

I finished my tasks yesterday.

Okay, okay, when?

Got it.

Bye-bye.

What's wrong?

It's true that what you fear will happen.

A colleague from my group

called me and said

one of our group members

had a fever and was sick.

This assignment was

divided among us.

Now that he's sick,

the others have

to help him with his part.

In summary,

I have to work overtime.

Does it have to be now?

He just told me

others are already online and ready.

I'm the last one.

I'll be quick.

Wait for me a moment, okay?

Then give me a kiss.

You're so nice.

We'll still split it into three parts.

As for the value of microfinance,

Mr. Xiao currently

has more detailed data.

How about Mr. Xiao write this part?

I'm fine with that.

The difficulties and solutions for me.

Tang, you write the analysis of previous cases.

Okay, no problem.

Sis,

I saw that your previous section

on innovative model design

was very complete and detailed.

Sis?

Continue.

I didn't hear you.

Sis,

I said I saw

your previous section

on innovative model design

was very complete and detailed.

I feel you have a good grasp of the past cases

related to this model.

Well.

Yes, that's right.

When I was writing the summary report

on Zhang Zhilan's case,

there were many data I could use directly.

So, I think...

Sis?

It just lagged for a moment.

Well, I'll send that report to the group.

You can take a look at it.

Is 5 minutes enough?

After five minutes, we'll continue.

- Okay. - Okay.

I need to leave for now.

Jiang Shiyan.

What are you doing?

I'm in a meeting.

How can you interrupt me like this?

How am I interrupting you?

I'm here negotiating friendly with a panda.

You're making it hard for me to concentrate.

Can't I just watch you?

If so, I'll only watch you.

Then don't work.

No way, dear.

- Ouch, it hurts. - Well.

Right? I know

you had a tough time yesterday

and didn't rest well.

I'll finish the meeting soon.

Once I'm done, I'll call you, okay?

You should sleep.

When will it end?

Within an hour. I promise.

Why does it still take an hour?

Close your eyes.

Let it accompany you for a while.

Okay?

Deal.

Good morning.

Good morning.

What time is it?

Ten o'clock.

Ten? Why didn't you wake me up?

I'll be late for work

this afternoon.

No need to rush.

You can have breakfast.

You'll have time.

Forget it; I'll just pack it to eat in the car.

What's wrong?

You're making me

want to do something.

Well.

I should change first.

It's better to wash up afterward.

Honey,

do I look good in this outfit?

You look good.

Did you even look before you said that?

I looked.

You're pretty.

Do I look good in this dress?

Custom-made.

Feng Weiran,

am I wearing a dress?

So beautiful.

If

I were this beauty's husband,

I would buy her

every beautiful outfit

in the world.

Go away.

I want it. I want it.

Just buy it. Just buy it.

Stop it.

Yang's training should be

ending soon, right?

She'll be back soon?

I don't know.

When I met Jiang the other day,

he didn't say anything.

How could Tang come back without Jiang knowing?

Who knows?

Pay the bill.

I'll pay the bill now.

Hi, I'd like to pay.

Coming right up.

- Mr. Xiao. - Sis.

After tonight's graduation dinner,

our group and a few other classmates

are planning to go to a bar

for drinks.

Are Lanqing and others going too?

They're all going.

- Sure. - Great. See you later.

See you later.

Check it before uploading.

Mr. Jiang, you're back.

Yeah.

- Mr. Jiang. - Wasn't it tomorrow?

It's fine.

Didn't you say I should return a day early

for Dingshen's team?

What's your plan?

Dinner together?

Spit it out.

No time tonight.

What are you doing?

I'll clean the house.

(Graduation Ceremony of CBBC Xinlei Training)

The highest overall score

and the best team award

for this Xinlei Training Program

goes to Group 3.

Welcome Chen Zhong, Xia Lanqing,

Tang Yang, and Xiao Qin

to receive the award.

By the way, Tang.

I have a favor to ask.

I told you my hometown

is in Lanxi Ancient Town, right?

The local wine-making is famous.

The town mayor is my classmate

and has called me several times,

saying the products are indeed good,

but they lack some

promotion channels.

The other day, I saw you

watching the product launch of Yixiu Found of Food.

You said you knew the owner.

Is there a chance

he could help promote it?

How about this?

I'll mention it to him,

and I'll create a group for you

to talk about it.

That sounds great.

- Thanks. - No problem.

It's nothing.

Come on.

Sis.

Thanks.

We'll meet again soon.

Tang.

Welcome home.

These chopsticks

are so cute.

Yeah.

These chopsticks

represent our zodiac signs.

From now on, I'll have

my chopsticks at your home.

You can come over for dinner every day.

Our fans all know

that Nina has recently been nominated

for Best Actress at the 19th

Starlight Film Festival

with a female-themed film,

Swimming Against the Current.

We've also noticed

Nina hasn't had many projects

this past year.

Are you intentionally

taking a break

or do you

have other plans?

I also noticed you've been

- live streaming, right? - Yes.

(Nina, Cheng Hui) Are you back?

Found a place with delicious wontons.

This year, I'm indeed

focusing on resting,

because I was quite tired

(Nina looks great) from work.

(Expecting) Two dramas

(Gets nominated) and three films in two years.

But now,

I've been

fully prepared.

I have my follow-up work arranged,

and it's quite full.

Your fans must be

looking forward to it.

(Are you back?) Here.

(Found a place with delicious wontons.) I hope

your work can go well.

Thanks.

(Rongcheng West Station)

Welcome back.

Cheers.

So, Jiang Shiyan

doesn't know

about your relationship yet?

Of course.

How could I tell him?

You're my best friend,

my classmate, and my good friend.

He's also my cousin.

Though he's just a cousin...

Just a cousin?

Sounds a bit strange.

His dad and my dad are cousins,

not brothers.

I'm his cousin too,

so it's just a cousin.

Okay, it doesn't matter. Go on.

If I tell my cousin,

it's like telling my whole family.

That's true.

What if one day

we break up?

Then I'd have to explain it to my family.

Indeed.

Yanan, you can't think like that.

We won't break up.

I've officially joined

the capital group now.

When I finish my lawyer internship this year,

you'll be about to graduate.

I'll bring a betrothal gift

to ask your parents at your house.

Ask my parents?

You haven't even asked me yet.

Who are you? Go away.

You two are good together.

You know each other.

What's good about that?

Look, we're each other's first love.

When we're old, we won't have exes

to reminisce about.

But I can also change boyfriend styles

to make you happy.

- Can you? - Yes.

Cute.

Domineering.

He's cute, right?

He's really cute.

If you keep this up,

I might really leave.

Yang,

you have to choose wisely.

Keep your eyes wide open

and choose well.

Choose wisely?

Right.

Okay.

I'll take this

as your blessing for me.

Of course.

- Choose wisely. - Right.

Choose wisely.
