I hope everyone can actively participate in
international environmental protection
cooperation and exchange,
and bring in advanced technologies.
Why isn't it Li Wu's turn yet?
It should be him
after this lady, I guess.
Isn't he standing right there waiting?
Thank you
to Miss Chen from Wenshan Company.
(CloudMap AI Environmental Protection)
Next, let's welcome Tongchen Technology's CTO,
Mr. Li Wu.
Thank you.
Hello, everyone.
I'm Li Wu from Tongchen Technology.
Welcome to
this AI-themed
conference.
Today,
we're lucky
to hear wonderful talks
from top experts,
entrepreneurs,
and scholars from all over.
We can learn about
technological innovation
in AI,
research progress,
and market applications.
I've personally
gained a lot as well.
This conference has quite the setup.
Tongchen can finally show up
at an event of this scale.
Pretty impressive.
Yeah.
Those big names
we only see in journals are here too.
Li Wu's supervisor
from Penn is also here.
If he can introduce him to us,
maybe we can collaborate someday.
Alright.
That's the example
of real-time monitoring.
As I mentioned earlier,
regarding a series of data
on air impurity detection
and carbon dioxide
concentration monitoring.
Please.
Professor Liu.
Li Wu.
You did a great job
just now.
Not at all.
Professor Liu,
do you have time tonight?
Maybe we could have dinner together.
Dinner?
I'm afraid not.
I have a meeting tonight.
How's the technical issue
we talked about last time?
Is it solved?
I haven't had a chance to tell you.
The initial testing
of our new system
was a success.
We're now simulating
different environments.
Besides,
we're close to securing our Series B.
Pushing forward technically is good,
but now you're running a company.
Don't be too eager for quick success.
Ambition and confidence
are good,
but you have to move one step at a time.
I understand, Professor Liu.
But the problem right now is
that there are too many companies
doing the same thing as we are.
Like Kejun
and Leiyin.
I think
if we don't pick up
the pace,
we'll get eliminated very soon.
Sometimes,
slow is fast.
I know your personality.
You've always been driven.
Nothing's wrong with that.
But when needed,
you have to stay humble and patient.
Alright.
I have a roundtable forum
the day after tomorrow.
Come by
and learn something.
Sure.
See you then.
Alright.
This way, please.
(Plans changed.)
(I have to stay one more day.)
Mr. Li,
mind if we get to know each other?
Mr. Li,
look where we are.
When did you get here?
When you were giving your speech
on stage.
I didn't expect
you to look like that on stage.
What did I look like?
You looked pretty handsome.
Hey.
I didn't expect
to run into you here.
Wen!
Alright then.
Okay. See you.
Who told you to call me by my nickname
in a place like this?
When did you come back?
Why are you here?
I got here this morning.
I was sent back for an interview.
You didn't tell me.
I could've picked you up.
I'm your lawful husband, you know.
If I told you in advance,
how would I get to see
that amazing expression of yours?
So
You did come back to surprise me.
Actually, this time,
the company wants me to take charge of
the new journal project in Yi City.
Really?
Keep your voice down.
I haven't gotten the official email yet.
If you don't want me to come back
That's great!
We finally won't have to
do long-distance anymore.
Do you want to try this?
Forget it.
Hearing what you said on stage today,
I was actually moved.
Which part?
About the future.
If your CloudMap system
upgrades successfully,
it'll be very meaningful.
Your system is called CloudMap
because of Yunfeng Village, right?
CloudMap carries the meaning
of Yunfeng Village's view.
I knew it.
Yunfeng Village is really beautiful.
It is.
When I was a kid,
life there
wasn't easy,
and I went through a lot,
but
When I think back now,
most of it is still good memories.
Actually, when I think
of Yunfeng Village,
I can still picture
the insects chirping,
the shadows of the trees,
the sunsets and sunrises I saw
And you.
Those memories
have stayed with me,
and they healed me
when I was going through
the toughest time.
So I really hope
more places
can be like Yunfeng Village
in my heart.
Clean,
beautiful,
and healing.
That's why you chose
AI environment protection, right?
I think
you've achieved some of it.
I'll keep working hard.
Right, what app
did you install on my phone?
I can't find it anywhere.
Of course, you can't.
I made it myself.
You made it?
What's it for?
Well
Good things, obviously.
Good thing?
Teach me how to use it.
It doesn't need
anything special.
I just set up
a series of commands.
It'll send those prompts to you.
And my app
will get notifications, too.
Mr. Li Wu,
you installed an app on my phone
without my permission.
Are you trying to steal
my info?
I wouldn't dare.
I just thought it'd be easier
to check on things.
You enter what you need,
it alerts me,
and I can help you get it done.
That's all.
I'll trust you for now.
But aren't you
giving yourself a problem?
What if you can't follow through?
I will.
You said
you don't need intentional surprises.
I respect that.
This is something I can do,
and I want to do.
So I turned those surprises
into little helps
that can
make your life easier.
Are you happy?
I am.
Can this app
keep running forever?
Yes.
I set it to run
for a hundred years.
A hundred years?
We won't live that long.
It's fine.
Anyway,
this program
is made just for you.
It only serves you.
Same as me.
Since you're already thinking about
a hundred years,
have you thought about
what your future will look like?
I have.
For example,
when I'm thirty,
I want my career to be more stable.
When everything
is more settled,
I'll be able to give you what you want,
and then I'll deserve to be with you.
Why does this sound like
you're pitching to an investor?
I'm serious.
I'll keep my word.
There's nothing for sure.
The only constant in life
is change.
It's normal for you to change.
You don't need
to set
a specific goal for yourself.
Other people don't have to.
I do.
Why?
I just want you to know
you're great enough.
You don't have to put
so much pressure on yourself.
Got it?
Let's talk about this later.
Right now,
we have something more important to do.
What is it?
Shopping.
A date.
(Liu Ziqi, Zhang Minting)
(We're getting married!
You're cordially invited.)
(Bride: Zhang Minting)
What's that?
A wedding invitation.
A client I worked with before
sent this.
Are you going?
I heard Wu Fu works with her, too.
He'll probably be there.
So I'm not going.
He'll probably
dress up more
than the groom.
Might even show up
with a date.
I'll pass.
Why not?
You don't have a boyfriend?
I can go with you.
Of course, I have a boyfriend.
I just think
we don't need to
waste time on this.
I'll give her a call, send my wishes,
and give a gift.
That should be good enough.
I'm going to the bathroom.
Hello?
Hello, Cen Jin.
You have to come to my wedding.
We worked so well together.
We closed so many deals,
and I kept getting promoted.
Really,
you're my lucky star.
You missed my first wedding,
but you must come to my second wedding.
Of course, I want to go,
but I can't confirm
the date yet.
Oh, please, don't do this to me.
Just come.
I'll put you
at a table with connections.
There'll be all the resources
you might need.
I'll arrange them together
for you.
How does that sound? Isn't it wonderful?
Am I a good work partner?
Don't turn me down.
Alright.
Since you're insisting so much,
I'll be there.
But don't make any special arrangements.
If you do, I won't go.
Okay.
That's settled then.
Anyway, you call the shots.
Alright,
see you then.
Bye-bye.
Mom.
How many times have I told you?
You don't have to do all these.
Your hands will crack.
- Where's the hand cream I bought you?
- It's fine.
Chang.
Well
I
What is it?
I bought a train ticket
for tomorrow morning.
Yuan had some trouble at school.
I
Chang,
Mr. Zhang is on a business trip.
He's not home.
There's no one at home.
Chang.
I'm heading out.
I'll be back late.
You can leave
anytime you want.
Wait, Chang.
Wait.
Hear me out.
This time's different.
Yuan got into a fight at school.
He hurt someone.
I can't let Mr. Zhang
find out.
You don't need to explain it.
Taking care of your son is your job.
I just don't get it.
Why is it that every year,
on my dad's death anniversary,
you always have something going on?
All these years,
how many times
have you gone to his grave?
Did he treat you badly
when he was alive?
I know.
I know you resent me.
Yes,
Mr. Zhang and I
are a hurdle
you can't get past emotionally.
But
If it hadn't been
for him,
this family would've fallen apart.
I was on my own,
with no job.
How was I supposed to
pay your tuition fee
or raise you?
Stop guilt-tripping me.
All these years,
how much have you actually
been part of my life?
Do you truly
care about me?
Do I have a place
in your so-called home?
Lotus root pork soup again.
Your new son likes it.
But that doesn't mean I do.
Do you know I hate lotus root?
You don't know.
And you don't care either.
No matter how many times I've said it,
my bowl is always filled
with the thing I hate the most.
You
Excuse me.
One more dapanji, please.
[Spicy chicken stew]
Sure.
Mr. Shen,
please have a seat.
Your dishes will be right out.
Thanks.
Drink some water.
Don't choke.
What's wrong?
You're awake.
Stomach cramps.
You either drink or eat
like crazy.
Is hurting yourself
the only way
to vent your anger?
I thought you weren't talking to me.
When I was home,
every time my mom cooked,
she only thought about
her precious son's taste.
What I liked
or didn't like,
she never cared.
After I started making money,
whenever I came across
something I liked,
I had to eat as much as I wanted.
She came to visit me a few days ago
because tomorrow is
my dad's death anniversary.
But before we've gone to pay respects,
she says she has to leave.
Because her precious son
got into a fight at school.
How does she move on so easily?
My dad hasn't been gone six months,
and she's already thrown out his photos,
his clothes,
and even the furniture
he bought.
She said she needed
to let go, start fresh,
and wanted me to do the same.
Did she ever ask how I felt?
She erased everything
connected to my dad.
Their days together
and the child they had together
My dad passed away
more than ten years ago.
Every year on his anniversary,
she always finds an excuse not to go.
Why is it so hard for her
to visit his grave?
Maybe
it's not that she forgot.
She's afraid to face it
or to accept
the fact that your dad's really gone.
To face or accept things like this,
I believe
it's very difficult
for anyone.
If she really didn't care,
why would she come all this way?
I'm tired. I want to sleep.
Okay.
Mom.
You didn't bring the things
I bought you.
You're so careless.
I haven't even used the one
you bought last time.
Take it back.
That was ages ago.
It's expired.
Every time I buy you something,
you don't use it.
Take good care of yourself.
Don't stay up so late.
Stop ordering takeout all the time.
If you have time,
learn to cook.
Alright.
You nag a lot.
Go on.
Don't be late.
Alright.
I'm leaving.
Go home.
Shen Yiyang,
can you go somewhere with me?
(Husband Chun Bainian)
My mom came.
How are things coming along?
Mr. Guo and his team are coming
for an inspection tomorrow.
Whether we get the investment
depends on this.
We must make sure
the demo goes perfectly.
Panicking won't help.
Don't worry, Li Wu.
I have faith in you.
Take it step by step.
Aren't you usually the one
rushing us the most?
Why are you
so calm today?
Because I don't want
you all to stress out.
Back to your work.
Okay.
I'll get out of the way, then.
I can't help much anyway.
Li Wu, great work.
I look forward to
a smooth collaboration.
Thank you, Mr. Guo.
- Looking forward to working together.
- Me too.
- Looking forward to working together.
- Right.
We'll head out first.
No need to walk us out.
Sure.
Take care.
The weight on my chest
is finally gone.
How was it?
We did it!
Let's all have dinner together tonight.
Pick anywhere.
- Yes!
- Thank you, Cheng.
Of course.
And more importantly
We're giving out bonuses.
- Yay!
- Yes!
- Bonuses!
- Bonuses!
Let's go sing karaoke!
- Okay.
- Yes.
You've all worked hard.
Let's celebrate however you want.
Cheng, I want to eat,
and I want to take some home, okay?
Sure.
Thank you so much, Cheng.
(3 PM.)
(Your girlfriend needs your help.)
Look here, groom.
Do it like this.
One, two, three.
One more shot.
Thank you.
Look here.
One, two, three.
Thank you for coming.
Cen Jin.
Feng Jiao.
It's really you.
I saw you from far away
and thought it looked like you.
We graduated so long ago
and never ran into each other.
It's been so long ago.
Right?
I thought if Wu Fu came,
you wouldn't come.
That doesn't matter.
Nice.
Are you still single?
If you meet someone suitable,
don't hesitate.
Don't act like it's nothing.
The longer you wait, the harder it gets.
I'm serious. Don't wait.
It's not that absolute.
Yeah, but if you just sit there waiting,
nothing will happen.
You see, everyone's so busy these days.
You need to take the initiative.
Don't put all your focus on work.
You should go out, socialize,
and meet people.
Look at me.
See?
The group chats for going out
and having fun,
I have a dozen pinned chats.
You should come with me next time.
We'll see.
What's Wu Fu thinking?
Why is he dressed like that?
People might think
they're the ones getting married.
Feng Jiao.
Feng Jiao.
I'll go first.
Hello.
Long time no see.
I'll go over there.
Sure.
You came.
You look great.
Thank you.
I always look great.
It's nothing.
I came because I want to tell you
I've found
my happiness.
And I hope
you can find your own soon.
Why?
Do you need me to
congratulate you again?
Honestly,
if you don't have anyone yet,
I can introduce someone to you.
Seems like you've been
pretty free lately.
Sorry,
I'm late.
You're here?
I finished early.
Sorry.
I tripped in my heels
and spilled over here.
It's fine.
It didn't spill on us.
Good.
But if you two are standing
this far apart
and still spilled on her,
then you should really be sorry.
They look so sweet.
Li Wu?
Why are you here?
Let me introduce myself properly.
I'm Cen Jin's boyfriend.
Her boyfriend?
Cen Jin.
Look at you.
Nice.
Really nice.
Congrats.
Over here.
See you later.
We're heading off.
Bye-bye.
Cen Jin, what's going on?
You brought your boyfriend here,
and you didn't introduce him to me.
Sorry.
Something came up.
It affected your wedding.
Not at all.
You bring him here,
which means you take me seriously.
I'm really happy.
Welcome.
It's my honor
to come to your wedding with Cen Jin.
Wishing you a happy,
everlasting marriage.
Thank you.
Thanks.
We're going to get ready.
Take care of him.
Okay.
I hope you'll have fun here.
Sure.
You go, girl.
- Bye.
- Okay.
Let's go.
- See you later.
- See you later. Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye.
How did you find this place?
You never told me,
so I could only ask Chun Chang.
How was I?
Did I do okay just now?
Not bad.
Dear guests.
Dear guests.
Our ceremony is about to start.
Please proceed to the venue.
Chun Chang.
Hi, Chun Chang.
You're here.
Go upstairs first.
Okay.
Here.
Bring this up for me.
Okay.
Got it.
Sure.
Let's go.
What's with you?
Why do you look so down?
Love sick?
Yeah.
I'm sick. Do you have the cure?
I can't help you with that.
You need someone special.
But
The one who can cure you
is back.
Look.
- (When will you arrive?)
- (Around the afternoon.)
He'll be here this afternoon.
So,
how about you buy me a drink,
and I'll tell you which train he's on?
Did I say I want to know?
Come on.
Keep pretending as you like.
Fine.
Come ask me
when you want to know.
I'm heading up.
Enjoy.
What's going on?
Did you fight with Mr. Shen?
No wonder he hasn't shown up
for days.
Did you make him mad?
I don't know.
He's been hot and cold.
A few days ago, he barely spoke to me.
When I got sick,
he came to take care of me.
Just when I thought
we had made up,
he vanished again.
You saw it yourself.
Even Xiao Jun knows his schedule,
but me?
I know nothing!
No way.
Mr. Shen cares about you.
Think again.
You definitely made him mad.
I didn't.
Oh no.
Isn't the best part of love
the push-and-pull stage
before anything happens?
Once you're really together,
it stops being fun.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
I thought it wasn't him.
Sort out the experimental date
from this round quickly.
Okay.
Let me check where our car is.
I'll check.
Let's ask.
Yiyang, has your ride arrived?
Yeah.
It should be almost here.
We'll get going first.
- Sure. Bye, Yiyang.
- See you, Yiyang.
- See you.
- See you. Bye-bye.
Shen Yiyang.
(Entrance, Parking)
You're not busy at the bar today?
What?
You don't want to see me?
No.
You'd better not mean that.
Other people go on business trips,
and they still call or video chat.
You go on a trip
and don't even send a message.
There's no signal in the mountains.
What happened?
Mosquito bites.
And I was scratched by branches.
It's nothing.
Look at this.
What's this?
I'm not spying on you.
You've been going into
the mountains a lot for fieldwork,
so I'm worried.
And I asked Xiao Jun.
He said mountain sampling
is full of bumps and bruises.
So I prepared everything.
This
I probably won't need it.
Isn't this also some kind of ointment?
Who cares what thing it is?
It should work.
We all carry things like this
when we go out.
Thank you.
Really?
But I still prepared them.
I think you'd need it sooner or later.
If I need it sooner or later,
that means
I'll get hurt sooner or later?
No.
Hopefully, you won't need it.
I was kidding.
Shen Yiyang,
that night
at the bar,
did you hear
what I said?
I did.
I'm sorry.
What I meant was
Chun Chang,
let's
have a serious relationship.
(Baicao Walkway)
Lin, look at this move.
I keep messing it up.
- How do you do this gesture?
- How do you turn it?
This one. Two hands.
Like this.
Yes. Wrist to wrist.
Yeah.
Turn.
Turn.
Turn.
Turn.
Like that.
Turn again.
Right.
Yes.
Lin, what made you suddenly
want to learn square dancing?
It's not that sudden.
I've been feeling the menopause symptoms
a bit more lately.
I went to see the doctor,
and they told me
to pick up some hobbies
like singing or dancing.
My company union
used to run a couple of dance classes.
I learned a bit back then.
So I'm thinking
maybe I could combine
what I learned before
with these new moves.
We can use them in our dance.
I knew it.
Your moves
look like you have a foundation.
No, no.
You're so kind.
You all dance really well too.
Oh, right, Lin,
does your daughter have a boyfriend now?
I wouldn't say she has a boyfriend.
But she's getting to know a guy.
A neurologist at the Central Hospital.
He has a good character, good skills,
and is polite and refined.
But dating
is young people's business.
We shouldn't interfere too much, right?
A neurologist?
That's a great match.
I was actually
thinking of
introducing my nephew
to your daughter.
He's a lawyer overseas.
He's coming back in a few days.
But looks like
there's no chance now.
Bad timing.
Yeah, bad timing.
Ladies,
break time's over.
Let's get a bit more practice in.
Lin,
come dance with us.
You go ahead first.
Let me memorize the last two moves.
I'll join you later.
Watch our moves closely.
Okay.
Alright.
Alright, ladies.
Line up.
Okay.
Get in line.
Everyone, chest up, and stomach in.
Stand straight.
Alright, let's do it again.
Ready.
