Episode 039
Sorry. I already moved all my stuff.
If not, I could have make some good tea for you.
It's okay. We're here because we have something to discuss with you.
We both didn't sleep well last night.
Now that you're getting married to Zhai Li,
we're both happy and worried about you. That's why we have three suggestions for you.
The 7 of us came into 701 together. Now there's only 5 of us left.
Even though you contributed a lot to the organization and became a hero,
you even became the Chief,
the status gap between us is getting bigger.
But we still see you as our comrade and friend.
So we still have to tell you this.
I also look at you as very good friends. If you have anything to say, you can just tell me.
Rong Jinzhen, did you know that
Zhao Qirong liked Zhai Li?
I know.
Zhao Qirong told me.
Did you know that I also liked Zhai Li?
Of course,
Zhao Qirong and I did it willingly.
Even though we were only at the phase of being friends.
Rong Jinzhen,
Zhao Qirong and I made a ranking for all the members of Unit Q for Zhai Li,
we even counted Yanshi. We never thought that Zhai Li would be marrying you.
How can I put this?
We all acknowledge Zhai Li as the most beautiful in our team.
She has been avoiding us. But in the end, she ended up with a bull crap like you.
Mind what you're saying.
I will say what I have to say.
Rong Jinzhen, do you know why I'm telling you this?
You have to cherish Zhai Li after you two get married.
Then I'll say the second suggestion.
From the time that Instructor An passed away and the time that both of you were spies,
how much trouble did you bring to Zhai Li?
Now that Zhai Li can forgive you,
and agreed to be your wife, what do you think that implies?
It means that she's a kind girl. It means that she's open minded.
That's why, you can't disappoint her,
you can't disappoint us, nor Instructor An.
Mind what you're saying.
I will say what I have to say.
I'll say the last thing.
When you were proposing to Zhai Li, did you tell her
that you'll learn to be a good husband, and give her forever happiness?
Yes, I said that.
You must keep your promise.
Me, Han Bing, and Yanshi, we'll all be watching you.
If you don't keep your promise and not treat Zhai Li well,
I don't care if you're the Chief, even if you become the Dean,
we will still fight you.
Mind what you're saying.
I will say what I have to say.
Thank you, guys. I will remember it.
The marriage officially starts now.
Now let's welcome the groom and the bride.
The witness will now give a few words.
Everyone, Comrade Rong Jinzhen and Comrade Zhai Li
are together for the same revolutionary goal.
After coming into 701, the two fought along side together,
and their relationship was witnessed by all the comrades.
From today on, they'll be the new revolutionary family.
As the leader, I'm very happy and grateful.
As per 701's tradition, one marriage certificate and a tea party,
then they will become the new revolutionary couple.
I wish you a happy marriage.
Finally, I'll recite the poem by Chairman Mao for you.
The strong pass of the enemy is like a wall of iron,
yet with firm strides, we are conquering its summit.
Good words.
Third, the new couple will salute to Chairman Mao.
Make revolution, promote production. Let us be in charge of our nation's cause.
Bow.
Bow to the leaders. Thank the organization for their love and care.
Letting us grow.
Bow.
Bow to each other three times. Live together and be set an example for happiness.
Improve the economy and increase the population!
I officially announce the marriage of the bride and groom.
I wish them a happy marriage,
I wish they can grow old together,
I wish they can have a child soon.
What is this?
It's just as Dean Gao has said,
A piece of marriage certificate, a tea party,
the marriage is complete.
It'll be great if Zhao Qirong was also there.
He's the closest to Rong Jinzhen.
He would most likely take us with him to disturb their first night of marriage.
Meng Xiaoyun, what do you think?
- Meng Xiaoyun.- Yes.- I am talking to you.
What are you talking about? What first night?
What are laughing at?
I'm laughing at your poor ear.
You actually didn't get the drumming part wrong in the wedding.
Of course, even if I'm deaf,
I could still count in my heart.
If I really get the beat wrong in the wedding,
that would be really embarrassing.
Don't drink anymore. It's bad for your ear.
It doesn't matter anymore.
My ear right now.. is almost deaf.
Just let me drink.
Even if you're deaf,
that would be better than being blind.
Yanshi, what did you say?
I say, I'm blind.
I heard that.
What are you doing?
We already talked about this,
we're celebrating for the wedding today.
and you're not allowed to drink too much.
Meng Xiaoyun, I'm going to punish myself to drink 3 cups,
to apologize to you formally.
In order to not expose Pan Sen,
I reported you.
Sorry.
Wait a minute.
This 3rd cup of beer,
We'll drink it together.
A deaf and a blind.
Let's not look down on each other.
Let me propose a toast.
Wait a minute,
We'll drink it together.
Let's cheers for Unit Q.
Double Happiness

It's already late.
You're also tired.
Do you want me to bring you water,
to wash up and sleep earlier?
Let me finish writing the training plan, I'll be there soon.
- Who's that?- It's me.
Director Rong.
Xiao Hu, what's the problem?
I have something important to attend,
you can sleep earlier, don't wait for me tonight.
It's getting cold, bring a jacket.
It's okay.
The telegram that was received tonight,
Reserved for Unit 701
Is already the third one.
It all uses the same code.
Currently, there's no progress in our decoding.
Now, I'll name it as Black Code.
Everyone knows about the current situation.
At this crucial time,
we're very aware of the 213 factory.
I think the enemy will do anything
to destroy 213 factory.
According to our sources,
These signs show that
Black Code may be possibly associated with Awakener,
and have rather close relation.
Their goal is directed at 213 factory.
Hence,
Black Code must be decoded as soon as possible.
But, Purple Code was decoded just a while ago,
it is not possible for The Awakener to design
a new code this fast.
This is very unpredictable.
But it also doesn't rule out this possibility.
He has the ability to design a code like Purple Code,
it is possible for him to design another code.
Director Rong, do you have any opinions?
Currently none.
I announce, starting from tonight,
Decoding Department should work overtime everyday,
to decode Black Code.
Except Director Rong.
Come in.
Director Rong.
Dean Gao said today is your first night of marriage,
and wants me to escort you back.
I accept his gratitude, help me thank him.
Sorry, you must go back now.
This is an order.
Why are you here?
Why are you still awake?
Didn't you say that you are not coming back tonight?
Dean said tonight is our first night of marriage
and asked me to come back.
So it was the Dean who forced you to come back.
You didn't want to return right?
I do.
But, a new code has surfaced.
I need to decode it as soon as possible.
Can you understand?
I understand. Don't overwork yourself.
Thank you.
Rest early.

Shen Yu.
Shen Yu. Shen Yu.
You're awake?
What time is it now?
It's almost 8 o'clock.
What about the alarm? Why didn't my alarm go off?
The alarm is here.
I want to let you sleep more, so I turned off the alarm.
How could you do that? I have class in the morning.
I made breakfast for you,
How about have breakfast first before heading out?
There's not enough time.
You're the first who has ever asked to be transferred
In 701.
Meng Xiaoyun.
Do you have an opinion towards me?
Dean, I know that
my right ear's hearing is similar to what normal people would hear.
I'm close to lose my hearing.
People who are in 701 are all talented.
I don't want to take advantage.
I have no rights to stay.
If the organisation permits,
I want to be allocated to the South Campus and work there.
Humans relies on food and grains, who doesn't fall ill?
Meng Xiaoyun, this pair of ears,
are 701's treasure.
Even if you already gave up, I still haven't given up.
Dean,
I asked the doctor about my ears,
there's no hope.
Even there's a low chance of recovery after surgery.
There's only one well known doctor in the world
who has done this operation.
There's none in the country yet.
Looks like you know more than I expected.
Since there's none in the nation,
we'll create the first.
Listen, half a month ago,
I've sent your situation to the force.
The force organised the best Aurist
to consult your illness.
And finally decided to let you have the surgery.
Please don't joke.
It's impossible for me to be operated in Berlin.
Correct, it's impossible for you to go to Berlin.
But, we can ask him to come here.
Because of your issue,
nationwide has contacted him.
He will be in Ning Zhou soon.
You have to be prepared.
He'll only be in China for three days. He especially came for you.
Dummy, your ears have such great luck!
Ning Zhou Hospital
This is the doctor.
Hello comrade Xiaoyun.
Don't be nervous, I will cure your ears.
The nation needs my ears, they are more important than my life.
I know. This way please.
Operating Room
Classroom 105

All of you new trainees,
come from nationwide famous universities.
Most of you got accepted due to your high ability of mathematics.
Hence I want to ask,
how many of you want to enter the North Campus?
Please raise your hand.
Very good.
Before the class ends, whoever can solve this question,
please stay back.
If you can't solve it,
your training will end in advance.
I remind you all, you should never copy other's work.
Is Instructor Rong being serious?
He's just scaring us, did you know that
his nickname is Big Head Rong.
Who doesn't know about this?
Big Head Rong means idiot.
I'll tell you a secret,
back then Instructor Rong
came last. And was the only one who got sent to the South Campus.
I heard that he failed many exams.
When it comes to physical training
he would be scared to the point that he'll wet his pants.
It's true.
Instructor Rong can't do that.
Why can't he? I heard he carried a bag of diapers into Unit 701.
Instructor Rong, please come out.
I have something to tell you.
What's wrong? Why are you here?
The students have already climbed over your head,
and you're not even aware.
Is this a class? It's more like a cafe.
What did you tell me yesterday?
Is this how you
be a strict instructor?
Hey,
Instructor Rong's wife is so ferocious.
Instructor Rong's wife was from the physical department.
Instructor Rong can't win over her.
After Instructor Rong became a Deputy Director,
she did everything to be able to be married to Instructor Rong.
He was afraid to reject.
That's not right. I heard it was Instructor Rong who proposed to her.
Women wants to keep their pride.
Instructor Rong was forced, can't you tell?
You are an Instructor, you can't let it easy.
Instructor Rong, please don't take the class as a joke.
All these trainees are 701's future people.
They're like us back then.
Like Zhao Qirong, Han Bing and Meng Xiaoyun.
Have a think, if Instructor An treated you like how you did to them,
do you think you'll be the same person today? Do you think you'll be able to decode Purple Code?
Didn't you see?
I wrote a question on the blackboard.
Plus, I said what should be done,
if one of them are not able to solve it,
their training period will end in advance.
Exam Question
But if they are able to solve it,
and have some bad habits,
it can be altered and corrected.
I had more bad habits than them.
Comrade Zhai Li,
as your superior and your husband,
can I suggest something?
Say it.
Next time, in front of my new students,
can you bear me my reputation?
Have a say,
since you're the instructor,
what do you think of the new scouted students?
Are any of them out of the extraordinary?
Right now,
these new batch of students still have a long way to go.
Right.
The saying goes like this, there are many excellent horses, but it's not the same for the person who has good judgments to spot the horse.
I still remember when Zheng Dang bet on his crippled leg
and rushed into my office and told me excitedly
that he found a very precious treasure.
Remember, an uncut jade has to be refined and polished.
That day he was standing in the position where you are standing right now
and said the same thing.
Luckily he won the bet.
Dean, I have a request.
Speak.
Since I'm the Instructor now,
without being restrained from rules and principles,
I hope that it can be done according to my way.
I've checked the answers that everyone handed in.
Next, the students that I call out
please leave the classroom.
Wang Zixue,
Zhao Kun,
Ou Yangliang.
What's wrong? Did I call out the wrong name?
Very good.
Then the three students that I called out, please leave the classroom.
A car will be waiting for you outside to take you.
You only have twenty minutes to pack and leave.
Ou Yangliang.
Instructor Rong,
are you joking around?
Do I seem like I'm joking to you?
But, aren't we supposed to be trained for three months?
Why do we only have twenty minutes left.
That's right,
according to 701, you will be trained for three months.
Hence, according to your final grade
to decide whether you're suitable to enter the North Campus.
But, I'm sorry to tell you that
I am the Instructor.
I, Rong Jinzhen's rule is not like that.
If you have no intention of going to the North Campus,
instead you're just here to experience and mingle your way through.
Then you should leave now.
Instead of wasting other people's time and 701's resources.
Also, I've reminded you all.
You're not allowed to copy others' work.
Instructor Rong, I know I'm at fault. Please give me one more chance.
Knowing your wrongdoing and willing to change is a good comrade.
Don't repeat the same mistake again.
Thank you Instructor Rong.
You only have fifteen minutes left to pack your bags.
Don't I still have a chance?
Comrade Ou Yangliang,
not every mistake have another chance to make it up for.
I hope that in the future
you are able to use your chances wisely.
Students,
as an Instructor,
I can responsibly tell you that
all the things you encounter here
may possibly affect your occupation
and determine the life and death of your fellow comrades.
Therefore, I advise all of you to cherish all the lessons you have here.
And complete all the training programs.

Understood!
