Luckily, the hospital is close.
If anything had happened to him
after just a few days with us,
what would we have done?
Sorry. I'll shut my mouth.
Li Wu,
do you know
you're allergic to seafood?
No.
But you knew
you were feeling unwell, right?
Why didn't you say anything?
Hey, Jin.
He's all right now.
He doesn't say anything.
That's the problem.
You're right.
Let him rest here
for a bit.
We'll pick up his medicine.
We'll be back soon.
What's the matter?
Why are you so upset?
You scared him.
I just don't understand
why he can't say things directly.
I took him to try on shoes.
They didn't fit,
but he didn't say a word.
This afternoon, I took him to eat.
He felt sick
and still didn't say anything.
Am I that scary?
No, you're not.
You're the gentlest little fairy.
Perhaps it's not that Li Wu
doesn't want to talk to you.
He's just too careful.
What do you mean?
Think about it.
He just got here
and is living under someone else's roof.
He has no family around.
You're the only person
he can rely on right now.
Maybe no one
ever taught him
how to express what he needs,
or maybe no one
has ever treated him
as kindly as you do.
He cherishes it.
When people have something they cherish
or finally get something precious,
they handle it very carefully.
It's late.
You should head back.
You sure you don't need me to say?
No need.
We'll go home
once the IV is done.
Alright. I've got something
early tomorrow morning.
I'll go first.
Li Wu.
I just want you
to accept my care.
In a few days,
you'll start school,
and I'll be back at work.
I'll be busy once I'm working.
Maybe I won't have time for you.
So I hope
you can
settle in quickly
and fit into your school.
I hope everything I do
is helpful to you,
and not becomes
a burden.
It's not
a burden.
I never thought that.
From now on, whatever happens,
just tell me, okay?
Okay.
You
You want to use the bathroom?
When was your last period?
Last month, I guess.
About four weeks.
Is it hard to keep the baby?
Your progesterone level
is low.
The other readings aren't good either.
Low progesterone means
a risk of miscarriage,
not to mention
you're in early pregnancy.
Why are you so careless?
I didn't know I was pregnant.
I wasn't paying attention.
What should I be careful about?
(Emergency Gynecology)
I'll make you a list.
Go home and rest these days.
I'll give you a well
of progesterone injections.
Okay.
Thank you, Madam.
Is it hard to keep the baby?
Low progesterone means
a risk of miscarriage,
not to mention
you're in early pregnancy.
Why are you so careless?
Why did you stop talking
the moment I walked in?
We were discussing
the project proposal.
(Xiyue Project Group)
(Chat Info)
(Bian Xinran of Xiyue)
Take your allergy meds before bed.
This cup is yours
from now on.
Don't use the paper cup anymore.
Okay.
This wardrobe is for you.
You can put all your things inside.
When you're done unpacking,
come to the living room.
(Likes, Dislikes)
These are things
I like and dislike.
You can write yours
on the paper.
(Likes, Dislikes)
Li Wu, we haven't really
spent time together,
so we don't know each other well.
Writing this helps us
get to know each other quicker.
Can't think of anything?
No one
had asked me before.
It's fine if you can't
think of anything now.
Today, I learned
you're allergic to seafood.
You can add more
whenever you remember something.
And here.
This is for you.
It's my old phone.
Take it.
If anything happens at school,
and you need to contact someone,
it's more convenient.
You won't have to borrow a phone
from teachers or classmates.
Take it.
Thank you,
Sister.
Try to use it.
There's WeChat in here.
The green icon on the bottom left.
(WeChat)
I don't use this account anymore.
It's all cleared.
This one.
This one is my WeChat contact.
If anything happens,
you can text me.
I saved
four numbers in the phone.
(Mr. Cen, Chun Chang, Sister, Mrs. Cen)
Mine, my parents',
and Chun Chang's.
If there's an emergency at school
and you can't reach me,
call any of them.
Try calling me.
(Sister)
It's in my room.
(Brother)
Hello?
Are you still mad
about what happened earlier?
I'm not mad.
Really?
I'm not mad.
Li Wu,
you're going back to school tomorrow.
I hope
it'll be a new start for you.
Just run without holding back.
Thank you, Sister.
Are you having NCEE tomorrow?
You're racing against time.
Did you bring your phone and charger?
Yes.
Oh, right.
I'll transfer some money to you
on WeChat.
Not much. Just 2,000 yuan.
Just in case.
Well
I don't need it.
I have my meal card.
What if you need to buy stationery?
And there are nice places to eat
near the school.
You should treat yourself sometimes.
Alright.
Let's take the box
by the door.
It's messy.
We're still missing a mosquito net.
We'll buy one later.
By the way,
when your dormmates
are back after classes,
I'll treat them to lunch.
They'll be your friends.
Think of it as meeting them early.
What's wrong?
That's too much trouble.
You're right.
People your age probably
talk better among yourselves.
Go make friends on your own.
I won't interfere.
I
I didn't mean that.
I know.
I'm just giving myself
a way out.
Let's go grab a bite.
The parents' group
said you all need to order
custom uniforms these days.
They need your height and weight.
Tell me later.
Parents' group?
What?
Do I not look like a parent?
No, no.
Am I not old enough?
No, that's not it.
What does a parent look like
to you?
Like that over there?
You can keep up
with your studies, right?
Study hard.
Or like that one?
You'll do well in your studies.
Just work hard.
No.
It's
because
Because you're
a big sister.
Then I'll add my dad to
the parents' group.
He'll go with you
to pick up the uniforms.
No, no.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I was kidding.
Eat.
Are you happy?
What?
Being back at school
and being able to study
like everyone else.
I need to go handle something.
I'll be back after your placement exam.
You go on ahead.
Sister.
Sister.
I didn't accept
the money you transferred this morning.
I don't need it,
and I can't take it.
Alright.
Up to you.
If I need money,
I'll ask you.
New dormmate?
I'm Cheng Rui.
Let me introduce you.
Take off your headphones.
The new dormmate's here.
Lin Honglang.
You're the newcomer?
I'm not the most handsome guy here
anymore.
What's your name?
I'm Li Wu.
Gift?
You brought me a gift?
That's an interesting name.
My surname is Li.
Wu as in fog.
Fog, I see.
Please sit.
Have a sit.
Don't be shy.
Once you step through this door,
we're all brothers from now on.
Why do you always
call everyone your brothers?
Shut up.
We didn't mean to touch your things.
We were just curious about you.
We didn't take anything.
It's fine.
Why are you alone?
Where are your parents?
Why did you hit me?
It's his privacy. Don't pry.
What's wrong with me asking?
You wear glasses.
Can't you read the room?
- You're so insensitive.
- Can't you two be quiet?
He hit me first.
Are you sure?
The new guy is here.
You're making a fool of yourself
in front of him.
You'll get used to it.
Well
Hi.
I'm Ran Feichi.
Fei as in flying, Chi as in galloping.
I'm Li Wu.
My surname is Li.
Wu as in fog.
Sit.
Li Wu,
which class are you in?
I don't know yet.
The exam is this afternoon.
I'll explain to you.
Our grade
has six classes.
Students are assigned according to
their exam scores.
But Class One
is different from
the other five.
It's the Rocket Class.
They're geniuses
who could've gone to university
but chose to repeat a year
to aim for prestigious universities
like Huaqing or Yan University. Super scary.
You'd better not go.
They'll grind you to dust.
Ran Feichi and I
are both in Class Three.
Lin Honglang
is in Class Four.
I'm not that ambitious.
I just want to get into any university.
Do your best this afternoon
and try to get into Class Three.
Come join us.
Welcome.
(Rocket Class)
Sister.
You're done with the exam?
How was it?
Didn't do well?
Which class did you get?
Class Three.
That's not bad.
It's not the best Rocket Class.
You'd been out of school.
And you just get your footing back now.
Don't set the difficulty too great
from the start.
Cheer up.
I went to the mall nearby
and bought you a digital watch.
When you went for the exam,
I suddenly realized
you can't check the time on your phone
during exams or class.
You need a watch.
I already bought it.
You're taking it whether you want it or not.
It's necessary.
You're not going to get awkward
about this again, right?
I'm not.
Good.
The time is set.
Read the manual
when you get back.
I'm heading off.
Take care of yourself.
Call me if anything happens.
By the way,
a new mission for you.
You're too skinny.
Put on five kilograms.
I'll try.

Cen Jin ordered coffee for everyone.
Come get it.
Grab yours, guys.
Thank you for your coffee, Cen Jin.
It's nice.
Thank you.
How's your health?
I'm much better.
Thank you, Mr. Gu.
I'm relieved that you're back.
To be honest,
among the managers
in the Branding Department,
I have high hopes for you
and Wu Fu.
You flatter me, Mr. Gu.
I heard Xiyue's project
has already started.
Yeah.
It's not easy.
But everything
is going smoothly
so far.
You've all worked hard.
It's what we should do.
Wu Fu
is meticulous.
The follow-up work
is done extremely well.
You're really
a perfect team.
And now he's been promoted to director.
From here on,
you two need to work closely.
I don't quite follow.
Didn't he tell you?
Some time ago,
your health took a serious hit
because of work.
Wu Fu was very worried about you.
As a husband,
it's right for him
to take the director position
and shoulder more pressure.
You'll be partners from now on.
You'll support him.
This way,
your health
won't get worse.
You're both young.
Family matters too.
She changed her
He's a transfer student.
He won't take much of your time.
Just let him introduce himself.
Alright. Come in.
Come on, Li Wu.
Everyone,
this is our new classmate.
He's transferred from Yunfeng.
You can tell everyone the rest yourself.
I I'm
Handsome.
Cheng Rui,
come.
Come here.
You'll speak for him.
I'll give you the chance. Come on.
Go on.
Hello, everyone.
I'm Li Wu.
My surname is Li.
Wu as in fog.
I hope
we all get along.
You're tall.
Sit in the last row.
Alright. Let's continue.
Where's Yunfeng?
In Shengzhou.
Then why are you
repeating the year here?
Look at the board.
This is important.
This is a typical usage
of modal verbs
for the subjunctive mood.
Let's read the sentence.
Jenny should've kept her word.
I wonder
why she changed her mind.
Leader Wu has such luck.
Every project he gets
moves smoothly into launch,
and the results are amazing.
You know what?
The boss is over the moon.
A reminder.
Fu's been promoted.
Stop calling him
Leader Wu.
He'll be upset.
He won't.
Fu wouldn't mind something so small.
But honestly,
it's enviable.
He's only thirty.
At the age of thirty,
he's already at the peak.
I should work harder.
Maybe I can do the same.
First of all,
it depends on
whether you can marry a wife
as great as Jin.
What's that supposed to mean?
You don't know?
When Fu first joined the company,
Jin brought him onto a lot of projects.
Her dad also gave him
a lot of resources.
For real?
I didn't know that.
What are you doing here?
Congrats on the promotion.
Do you also think
I stole your credit?
If you think
what they said is wrong,
why are you being so sensitive?
About the divorce agreement,
do you still want to talk?
Sure.
Let's go somewhere else.
Your coffees.
This one is yours.
Light roast Americano.
I
Have you read the divorce agreement?
Not yet.
It's fine.
I'll walk you through it.
I had a lawyer review it.
You can check it yourself.
As for the major part,
the apartment in Muyunli
is a premarital property.
It has nothing to do with me.
The one I'm living in now,
I paid the down payment.
You probably
don't need it,
so I'm keeping it.
Of course,
if you want it,
I'm fine with that too.
If the down payment
is too much to return at once,
you can pay me in installments.
And the cars,
we have two.
- Later
- You're in such a rush to get divorced.
Is there something you can't wait for?
What do you mean?
Jin.
I know you've been hurt.
I also have my own resentment.
I really did try my best
in this relationship.
You heard
what they said just now.
My worth,
my dignity,
everything I've worked
so hard for,
all of it comes down to
depending on you.
I never denied you.
I need more than your approval.
Think carefully.
Have you actually been happy
these past few months?
I still have work to deal with.
Reply to me as quickly as possible
after you read the agreement.
Li Wu.
We're going to sleep.
What about you?
Stop studying.
Go to bed.
Okay.
(Sister: Okay. You too.)
Li Wu.
Look at you.
You're already absorbed in the code.
I know you're the tech type,
but you need breaks.
Come out with me.
Let's meet the investors.
I haven't solved the hardest part
of the new system yet.
How can I talk to them?
See?
That's the student mindset.
You know what?
If you try to explain
how your system
perfectly fits
their high-end neighborhoods and hotels,
do you think they'd get that?
They won't.
Sometimes, having good relationships
works better than perfect tech.
If we want
to grow this business
and expand the company,
we need to work on the connections.
Business is like war.
There are rules we need to play by.
Anyway, you're not getting out
of tonight's dinner.
Alright. Put it down.
Cheng Rui's already there.
He's waiting for us. Come on.
Come on.
Let's go.
When we get there,
I'll do most of the talking.
Relax.
We're here.
Sorry.
We're late.
Let me introduce you.
Li Wu,
our tech director at Tongchen.
Top student.
His mentor overseas
is a big name
in the field.
And this is
Mr. Qin I told you about.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Qin.
You too.
Have a seat.
Let's sit.
Why are you here?
I thought you hated these.
No choice.
Yi forced me
to come.
Sorry, we're late. Traffic was bad.
Yeah.
Well.
Since I'm late,
I'll drink three cups as punishment.
We brought you fruit.
Remember to eat it.
If you leave it in the fridge
too long, it'll dry out.
Alright.
Wu came by the house recently
to visit your dad and me.
He said he just got back
and wanted to visit us first.
Have you met him yet?
When was that?
Two weeks ago, right?
About that.
No matter what,
your dad and I
are his elders
who are tight with him.
What?
You're not happy
he came to see us first?
Wu is a good boy.
Every holiday,
he'd text us and send greetings
when he was overseas.
This time,
he brought a bunch of gifts.
He brought this
for the two of us.
And I made it
for you.
You never told me
any of this.
Do you know
how many times you go home?
Every time
we call, you just say two words,
"I'm busy."
You hang up before we can even talk.
I never told you any of this?
What could I say?
I really have been busy.
Wu didn't stay long.
He said he's starting a business
with friends
and has a lot to handle.
Children work hard
on their careers.
That's good.
I support that.
Jin, come eat some fruit.
Okay.
Don't touch her things.
She won't be able to find them later.
Look at this.
She has a problem with
where she puts stuff.
Look at those books
and boxes.
What's wrong with that?
Jin,
look at this room.
It has plenty of space,
and no one lives here.
Just put it here,
and it's done.
Look how spacious it is.
The wardrobe is empty.
I think
it should go here.
Mom.
Look.
Don't move my stuff.
Mom.
I'll sort it out when I have time.
If you put things away,
I won't be able to find them.
So messy.
Come here.
Have you met
with Lu recently?
What?
Don't play dumb.
I really like
Dr. Lu.
Just give him a chance.
Give him what chance?
He never said he liked me.
Every time he prescribes my meds,
he never hands them to me.
Instead, he calls you out
and hands them to you
to pass on to me.
It's so obvious.
How do you not see it?
There's nothing obvious.
Mom, we're just friends.
Don't overthink it.
I overthink it?
You're not thinking about it at all.
He's a neurologist.
Such a decent job.
And he's composed.
Why won't you
give it a try?
There's no why.
Mom,
don't rush it.
We'll take things slowly, okay?
Take things slowly?
Everything with you is slow.
If you'd listened to me back then,
I wouldn't have to
chase after you
every day now.
Give it another thought.
Whoever you end up with,
marriage still comes down
to the little things.
Alright.
I'll take care of it.
Don't worry.
Let's go eat some fruit.
Let's go.
Put away whatever you don't need
in the wardrobe.
- Tidy up the books.
- Let's eat some fruit.
How was it?
Had fun?
I had so much fun.
If these fellows
don't pay up,
I'll block
their office entrance tomorrow.
It's late.
You guys should go home.
Hang on.
Mr. Li,
I'm not done talking to you.
We can talk tomorrow.
I'm exhausted.
No.
I have to say
what I want to say today.
Mr. Li,
we're running
a company here.
What's a company?
A place that feeds people
and makes a profit, right?
We're not some national
research institute
or a university lab.
We need to make money.
Let me tell you this.
If I hadn't been
keeping our cash flow,
Tongchen wouldn't be where it is today.
Yes.
You're the most important in Tongchen.
We can't function without you.
That's not what I meant.
Look.
The car is here.
Get in.
Get in.
Cheng Rui, I'm not drunk, am I?
No. There's no way you'd get drunk.
I really I
Get in the car.
Li Wu, I'm doing this for your own good.
I'll send you home.
Off you go.
You all go home early.
It's all for Li Wu.
Get home early.
Careful.
Careful.
Bye-bye.
Li Wu!

=Episode 4=
Luckily, the hospital is close.
If anything had happened to him
after just a few days with us,
what would we have done?
Sorry. I'll shut my mouth.
Li Wu,
do you know
you're allergic to seafood?
No.
But you knew
you were feeling unwell, right?
Why didn't you say anything?
Hey, Jin.
He's all right now.
He doesn't say anything.
That's the problem.
You're right.
Let him rest here
for a bit.
We'll pick up his medicine.
We'll be back soon.
What's the matter?
Why are you so upset?
You scared him.
I just don't understand
why he can't say things directly.
I took him to try on shoes.
They didn't fit,
but he didn't say a word.
This afternoon, I took him to eat.
He felt sick
and still didn't say anything.
Am I that scary?
No, you're not.
You're the gentlest little fairy.
Perhaps it's not that Li Wu
doesn't want to talk to you.
He's just too careful.
What do you mean?
Think about it.
He just got here
and is living under someone else's roof.
He has no family around.
You're the only person
he can rely on right now.
Maybe no one
ever taught him
how to express what he needs,
or maybe no one
has ever treated him
as kindly as you do.
He cherishes it.
When people have something they cherish
or finally get something precious,
they handle it very carefully.
It's late.
You should head back.
You sure you don't need me to say?
No need.
We'll go home
once the IV is done.
Alright. I've got something
early tomorrow morning.
I'll go first.
Li Wu.
I just want you
to accept my care.
In a few days,
you'll start school,
and I'll be back at work.
I'll be busy once I'm working.
Maybe I won't have time for you.
So I hope
you can
settle in quickly
and fit into your school.
I hope everything I do
is helpful to you,
and not becomes
a burden.
It's not
a burden.
I never thought that.
From now on, whatever happens,
just tell me, okay?
Okay.
You
You want to use the bathroom?
When was your last period?
Last month, I guess.
About four weeks.
Is it hard to keep the baby?
Your progesterone level
is low.
The other readings aren't good either.
Low progesterone means
a risk of miscarriage,
not to mention
you're in early pregnancy.
Why are you so careless?
I didn't know I was pregnant.
I wasn't paying attention.
What should I be careful about?
(Emergency Gynecology)
I'll make you a list.
Go home and rest these days.
I'll give you a well
of progesterone injections.
Okay.
Thank you, Madam.
Is it hard to keep the baby?
Low progesterone means
a risk of miscarriage,
not to mention
you're in early pregnancy.
Why are you so careless?
Why did you stop talking
the moment I walked in?
We were discussing
the project proposal.
(Xiyue Project Group)
(Chat Info)
(Bian Xinran of Xiyue)
Take your allergy meds before bed.
This cup is yours
from now on.
Don't use the paper cup anymore.
Okay.
This wardrobe is for you.
You can put all your things inside.
When you're done unpacking,
come to the living room.
(Likes, Dislikes)
These are things
I like and dislike.
You can write yours
on the paper.
(Likes, Dislikes)
Li Wu, we haven't really
spent time together,
so we don't know each other well.
Writing this helps us
get to know each other quicker.
Can't think of anything?
No one
had asked me before.
It's fine if you can't
think of anything now.
Today, I learned
you're allergic to seafood.
You can add more
whenever you remember something.
And here.
This is for you.
It's my old phone.
Take it.
If anything happens at school,
and you need to contact someone,
it's more convenient.
You won't have to borrow a phone
from teachers or classmates.
Take it.
Thank you,
Sister.
Try to use it.
There's WeChat in here.
The green icon on the bottom left.
(WeChat)
I don't use this account anymore.
It's all cleared.
This one.
This one is my WeChat contact.
If anything happens,
you can text me.
I saved
four numbers in the phone.
(Mr. Cen, Chun Chang, Sister, Mrs. Cen)
Mine, my parents',
and Chun Chang's.
If there's an emergency at school
and you can't reach me,
call any of them.
Try calling me.
(Sister)
It's in my room.
(Brother)
Hello?
Are you still mad
about what happened earlier?
I'm not mad.
Really?
I'm not mad.
Li Wu,
you're going back to school tomorrow.
I hope
it'll be a new start for you.
Just run without holding back.
Thank you, Sister.
Are you having NCEE tomorrow?
You're racing against time.
Did you bring your phone and charger?
Yes.
Oh, right.
I'll transfer some money to you
on WeChat.
Not much. Just 2,000 yuan.
Just in case.
Well
I don't need it.
I have my meal card.
What if you need to buy stationery?
And there are nice places to eat
near the school.
You should treat yourself sometimes.
Alright.
Let's take the box
by the door.
It's messy.
We're still missing a mosquito net.
We'll buy one later.
By the way,
when your dormmates
are back after classes,
I'll treat them to lunch.
They'll be your friends.
Think of it as meeting them early.
What's wrong?
That's too much trouble.
You're right.
People your age probably
talk better among yourselves.
Go make friends on your own.
I won't interfere.
I
I didn't mean that.
I know.
I'm just giving myself
a way out.
Let's go grab a bite.
The parents' group
said you all need to order
custom uniforms these days.
They need your height and weight.
Tell me later.
Parents' group?
What?
Do I not look like a parent?
No, no.
Am I not old enough?
No, that's not it.
What does a parent look like
to you?
Like that over there?
You can keep up
with your studies, right?
Study hard.
Or like that one?
You'll do well in your studies.
Just work hard.
No.
It's
because
Because you're
a big sister.
Then I'll add my dad to
the parents' group.
He'll go with you
to pick up the uniforms.
No, no.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I was kidding.
Eat.
Are you happy?
What?
Being back at school
and being able to study
like everyone else.
I need to go handle something.
I'll be back after your placement exam.
You go on ahead.
Sister.
Sister.
I didn't accept
the money you transferred this morning.
I don't need it,
and I can't take it.
Alright.
Up to you.
If I need money,
I'll ask you.
New dormmate?
I'm Cheng Rui.
Let me introduce you.
Take off your headphones.
The new dormmate's here.
Lin Honglang.
You're the newcomer?
I'm not the most handsome guy here
anymore.
What's your name?
I'm Li Wu.
Gift?
You brought me a gift?
That's an interesting name.
My surname is Li.
Wu as in fog.
Fog, I see.
Please sit.
Have a sit.
Don't be shy.
Once you step through this door,
we're all brothers from now on.
Why do you always
call everyone your brothers?
Shut up.
We didn't mean to touch your things.
We were just curious about you.
We didn't take anything.
It's fine.
Why are you alone?
Where are your parents?
Why did you hit me?
It's his privacy. Don't pry.
What's wrong with me asking?
You wear glasses.
Can't you read the room?
- You're so insensitive.
- Can't you two be quiet?
He hit me first.
Are you sure?
The new guy is here.
You're making a fool of yourself
in front of him.
You'll get used to it.
Well
Hi.
I'm Ran Feichi.
Fei as in flying, Chi as in galloping.
I'm Li Wu.
My surname is Li.
Wu as in fog.
Sit.
Li Wu,
which class are you in?
I don't know yet.
The exam is this afternoon.
I'll explain to you.
Our grade
has six classes.
Students are assigned according to
their exam scores.
But Class One
is different from
the other five.
It's the Rocket Class.
They're geniuses
who could've gone to university
but chose to repeat a year
to aim for prestigious universities
like Huaqing or Yan University. Super scary.
You'd better not go.
They'll grind you to dust.
Ran Feichi and I
are both in Class Three.
Lin Honglang
is in Class Four.
I'm not that ambitious.
I just want to get into any university.
Do your best this afternoon
and try to get into Class Three.
Come join us.
Welcome.
(Rocket Class)
Sister.
You're done with the exam?
How was it?
Didn't do well?
Which class did you get?
Class Three.
That's not bad.
It's not the best Rocket Class.
You'd been out of school.
And you just get your footing back now.
Don't set the difficulty too great
from the start.
Cheer up.
I went to the mall nearby
and bought you a digital watch.
When you went for the exam,
I suddenly realized
you can't check the time on your phone
during exams or class.
You need a watch.
I already bought it.
You're taking it whether you want it or not.
It's necessary.
You're not going to get awkward
about this again, right?
I'm not.
Good.
The time is set.
Read the manual
when you get back.
I'm heading off.
Take care of yourself.
Call me if anything happens.
By the way,
a new mission for you.
You're too skinny.
Put on five kilograms.
I'll try.

Cen Jin ordered coffee for everyone.
Come get it.
Grab yours, guys.
Thank you for your coffee, Cen Jin.
It's nice.
Thank you.
How's your health?
I'm much better.
Thank you, Mr. Gu.
I'm relieved that you're back.
To be honest,
among the managers
in the Branding Department,
I have high hopes for you
and Wu Fu.
You flatter me, Mr. Gu.
I heard Xiyue's project
has already started.
Yeah.
It's not easy.
But everything
is going smoothly
so far.
You've all worked hard.
It's what we should do.
Wu Fu
is meticulous.
The follow-up work
is done extremely well.
You're really
a perfect team.
And now he's been promoted to director.
From here on,
you two need to work closely.
I don't quite follow.
Didn't he tell you?
Some time ago,
your health took a serious hit
because of work.
Wu Fu was very worried about you.
As a husband,
it's right for him
to take the director position
and shoulder more pressure.
You'll be partners from now on.
You'll support him.
This way,
your health
won't get worse.
You're both young.
Family matters too.
She changed her
He's a transfer student.
He won't take much of your time.
Just let him introduce himself.
Alright. Come in.
Come on, Li Wu.
Everyone,
this is our new classmate.
He's transferred from Yunfeng.
You can tell everyone the rest yourself.
I I'm
Handsome.
Cheng Rui,
come.
Come here.
You'll speak for him.
I'll give you the chance. Come on.
Go on.
Hello, everyone.
I'm Li Wu.
My surname is Li.
Wu as in fog.
I hope
we all get along.
You're tall.
Sit in the last row.
Alright. Let's continue.
Where's Yunfeng?
In Shengzhou.
Then why are you
repeating the year here?
Look at the board.
This is important.
This is a typical usage
of modal verbs
for the subjunctive mood.
Let's read the sentence.
Jenny should've kept her word.
I wonder
why she changed her mind.
Leader Wu has such luck.
Every project he gets
moves smoothly into launch,
and the results are amazing.
You know what?
The boss is over the moon.
A reminder.
Fu's been promoted.
Stop calling him
Leader Wu.
He'll be upset.
He won't.
Fu wouldn't mind something so small.
But honestly,
it's enviable.
He's only thirty.
At the age of thirty,
he's already at the peak.
I should work harder.
Maybe I can do the same.
First of all,
it depends on
whether you can marry a wife
as great as Jin.
What's that supposed to mean?
You don't know?
When Fu first joined the company,
Jin brought him onto a lot of projects.
Her dad also gave him
a lot of resources.
For real?
I didn't know that.
What are you doing here?
Congrats on the promotion.
Do you also think
I stole your credit?
If you think
what they said is wrong,
why are you being so sensitive?
About the divorce agreement,
do you still want to talk?
Sure.
Let's go somewhere else.
Your coffees.
This one is yours.
Light roast Americano.
I
Have you read the divorce agreement?
Not yet.
It's fine.
I'll walk you through it.
I had a lawyer review it.
You can check it yourself.
As for the major part,
the apartment in Muyunli
is a premarital property.
It has nothing to do with me.
The one I'm living in now,
I paid the down payment.
You probably
don't need it,
so I'm keeping it.
Of course,
if you want it,
I'm fine with that too.
If the down payment
is too much to return at once,
you can pay me in installments.
And the cars,
we have two.
- Later
- You're in such a rush to get divorced.
Is there something you can't wait for?
What do you mean?
Jin.
I know you've been hurt.
I also have my own resentment.
I really did try my best
in this relationship.
You heard
what they said just now.
My worth,
my dignity,
everything I've worked
so hard for,
all of it comes down to
depending on you.
I never denied you.
I need more than your approval.
Think carefully.
Have you actually been happy
these past few months?
I still have work to deal with.
Reply to me as quickly as possible
after you read the agreement.
Li Wu.
We're going to sleep.
What about you?
Stop studying.
Go to bed.
Okay.
(Sister: Okay. You too.)
Li Wu.
Look at you.
You're already absorbed in the code.
I know you're the tech type,
but you need breaks.
Come out with me.
Let's meet the investors.
I haven't solved the hardest part
of the new system yet.
How can I talk to them?
See?
That's the student mindset.
You know what?
If you try to explain
how your system
perfectly fits
their high-end neighborhoods and hotels,
do you think they'd get that?
They won't.
Sometimes, having good relationships
works better than perfect tech.
If we want
to grow this business
and expand the company,
we need to work on the connections.
Business is like war.
There are rules we need to play by.
Anyway, you're not getting out
of tonight's dinner.
Alright. Put it down.
Cheng Rui's already there.
He's waiting for us. Come on.
Come on.
Let's go.
When we get there,
I'll do most of the talking.
Relax.
We're here.
Sorry.
We're late.
Let me introduce you.
Li Wu,
our tech director at Tongchen.
Top student.
His mentor overseas
is a big name
in the field.
And this is
Mr. Qin I told you about.
Nice to meet you, Mr. Qin.
You too.
Have a seat.
Let's sit.
Why are you here?
I thought you hated these.
No choice.
Yi forced me
to come.
Sorry, we're late. Traffic was bad.
Yeah.
Well.
Since I'm late,
I'll drink three cups as punishment.
We brought you fruit.
Remember to eat it.
If you leave it in the fridge
too long, it'll dry out.
Alright.
Wu came by the house recently
to visit your dad and me.
He said he just got back
and wanted to visit us first.
Have you met him yet?
When was that?
Two weeks ago, right?
About that.
No matter what,
your dad and I
are his elders
who are tight with him.
What?
You're not happy
he came to see us first?
Wu is a good boy.
Every holiday,
he'd text us and send greetings
when he was overseas.
This time,
he brought a bunch of gifts.
He brought this
for the two of us.
And I made it
for you.
You never told me
any of this.
Do you know
how many times you go home?
Every time
we call, you just say two words,
"I'm busy."
You hang up before we can even talk.
I never told you any of this?
What could I say?
I really have been busy.
Wu didn't stay long.
He said he's starting a business
with friends
and has a lot to handle.
Children work hard
on their careers.
That's good.
I support that.
Jin, come eat some fruit.
Okay.
Don't touch her things.
She won't be able to find them later.
Look at this.
She has a problem with
where she puts stuff.
Look at those books
and boxes.
What's wrong with that?
Jin,
look at this room.
It has plenty of space,
and no one lives here.
Just put it here,
and it's done.
Look how spacious it is.
The wardrobe is empty.
I think
it should go here.
Mom.
Look.
Don't move my stuff.
Mom.
I'll sort it out when I have time.
If you put things away,
I won't be able to find them.
So messy.
Come here.
Have you met
with Lu recently?
What?
Don't play dumb.
I really like
Dr. Lu.
Just give him a chance.
Give him what chance?
He never said he liked me.
Every time he prescribes my meds,
he never hands them to me.
Instead, he calls you out
and hands them to you
to pass on to me.
It's so obvious.
How do you not see it?
There's nothing obvious.
Mom, we're just friends.
Don't overthink it.
I overthink it?
You're not thinking about it at all.
He's a neurologist.
Such a decent job.
And he's composed.
Why won't you
give it a try?
There's no why.
Mom,
don't rush it.
We'll take things slowly, okay?
Take things slowly?
Everything with you is slow.
If you'd listened to me back then,
I wouldn't have to
chase after you
every day now.
Give it another thought.
Whoever you end up with,
marriage still comes down
to the little things.
Alright.
I'll take care of it.
Don't worry.
Let's go eat some fruit.
Let's go.
Put away whatever you don't need
in the wardrobe.
- Tidy up the books.
- Let's eat some fruit.
How was it?
Had fun?
I had so much fun.
If these fellows
don't pay up,
I'll block
their office entrance tomorrow.
It's late.
You guys should go home.
Hang on.
Mr. Li,
I'm not done talking to you.
We can talk tomorrow.
I'm exhausted.
No.
I have to say
what I want to say today.
Mr. Li,
we're running
a company here.
What's a company?
A place that feeds people
and makes a profit, right?
We're not some national
research institute
or a university lab.
We need to make money.
Let me tell you this.
If I hadn't been
keeping our cash flow,
Tongchen wouldn't be where it is today.
Yes.
You're the most important in Tongchen.
We can't function without you.
That's not what I meant.
Look.
The car is here.
Get in.
Get in.
Cheng Rui, I'm not drunk, am I?
No. There's no way you'd get drunk.
I really I
Get in the car.
Li Wu, I'm doing this for your own good.
I'll send you home.
Off you go.
You all go home early.
It's all for Li Wu.
Get home early.
Careful.
Careful.
Bye-bye.
Li Wu!
