[Only Side by Side with You]
[Episode 18]
The right person has been right in front of you the whole time.
But because you're too familiar, it's easy to overlook them.
Instead of reaching far away...
why not appreciate what's before you?
In front of me? You?
- Will you bully Xiao Qiao? - No.
- Will you betray the company? - No.
Are you on my side?
Yes.
Look at Chang Jian Xiong.
Simple, straightforward. Does what he thinks, is predictable.
Shi Yue, on the other hand, is rich, attractive, and smart...
but you two are on two different levels.
He'll just be leading you by the nose everywhere.
If you like Chang Jian Xiong that much, you should take him.
There's a woman I think I'm not good enough for.
In the beginning, I got close to her for nefarious reasons.
But in the end, I really fell for her.
Tell me...
As the story progresses, am I supposed to turn back...
or do I keep stumbling on?
Let me see if I can support you and your dogs with my income.
My rent is 60,300 yuan per month. Utilities are 6,000-7,000 per month.
This place is 100 square meters and can give 18 dogs consecutive showers.
So?
My rent is so high, and my utilities are just as bad.
Is it appropriate for you to lounge here and steal my dogs' resources?
Man can live in harmony with nature. What's the harm in me staying here?
Hao Jie, where did Shi Yue go?
The legs are on his body, how would I know?
His wristband is emitting an emergency signal. Has something happened to him?
Don't tell me something happened to him at sea!
If you see dense fog in front of you and know that there's storm up ahead...
Would you still keep going instead of turning back?
How do you know there are no storms if you turn back?
It's the same, except... you wouldn't end up where you'd intended.
- Can you move a little? - Why should I?
Don't you have a date with Shi Yue?
Shi Yue has returned? When did he come back?
[Target: Shi Yue. Distance: 20 kilometers.]
All right. I'm going back to the office for a meeting.
What's the point of keeping an eye on me? Do I have Shi Yue written on my face?
If I don't get to see my male idol, I can only cling on to his girlfriend.
It's my only chance to see him.
Um, Boss. I might not have enough time.
Why?
I'm going on dates.
I see...
What do you guys mean? That saying I'm a bad person would be confessing?
All right, let's move on to the next question.
Why do you want to participate in this show?
Because usually, I eat alone and can't order that many dishes.
I'm looking for a longterm partner so we can order many dishes together.
You win. Here, you do this yourself.
- I can't compete with you. - I told you you couldn't handle it.
Wait, you have to upload a profile photo?
- Where? - Here.
- That's easy. Here, go over there. - Come on, let's go.
Have faith in my abilities.
- Sit. Hold this. - And this!
- Do I look good? - Be your most genuine self.
- Let me see. Not bad! - He really needs help.
- What is this? - It's pretty hot to me.
[Mom: Come home this instant!] Hold on... Qin!
Aunt!
How does my mom know I'm here?
Your mom texted me.
And you just told her? Traitor!
What was I supposed to say, that you were lost?
Honestly, think of your mother. Spending so much time away from home...
I'm not leaving!
I have to see Shi Yue today.
You really can't today. Behave, okay?
If I don't see him today, I'm going to tell all your secrets.
You're going to have to use this longterm if you want to see him often.
Aunt, you've grown evil.
- You've turned into another Shi Yue. - Like it? Stop dawdling, go home.
You're screwed.
[Distance: 72 meters]
We'll go with your idea.
All right, I got it.
Okay, bye.
- Let's leave together. - Can you call me?
I think my phone is broken.
Did you call? See?
[Wendy]
Are you waiting on a call?
Shi Yue's call?
The cell reception here probably isn't that good.
I need to remember to tell Kui to boost our signal.
When have you relied on cell phones since the invention of cell phones?
Because of him... your hormones are going crazy.
That's dangerous. It leads to impulsivity.
Come on. Come somewhere with me.
- Let's go. - Where?
Let's go.
You're back!
Where are you going?
- To meet someone important. - You've decided to keep going?
- What do you plan to do? - What am I supposed to do?
You have to be more direct with women.
How?
The more shallow, the better.
Why don't you go ahead and try that on Ouyang Qi?
What's there to fear?
Confessing is expressing your sincerity. You're expressing your feelings.
Why do I feel that that kind of confession is idiotic?
The point of confessing is to create a romantic atmosphere.
The core of that is appealing to their interests.
And the core of that is the willingness to spend money.
I see. Test it on Ouyang Qi. If it works, come and find me.
Fine!
Did you come find me today to get me to back off?
Why, do you think of me as your threat?
At the very least, you're my strongest opponent.
So? If you're not here to threaten me, then what?
Don't tell me it's to reconcile.
I don't want my genuine feelings to be misunderstood by others
for having ulterior motives.
- You're sure? - You don't believe me?
I believe you.
You've known her 20 years longer than I have.
Coming early isn't as important as coming at the right time.
My 20 years... might not even compare to your 20 days.
Are you thinking about giving up?
We haven't even started competing yet.
How could I accept a loss?
Ten years... In ten years, you never told her you liked her.
Listen, don't you go giving up at this moment.
I asked you out here today to see if we could compete fairly
and see who Nan Qiao chooses in the end.
Yet back then... I didn't give you the same courtesy.
I ruined your dream of becoming a soldier.
The past isn't relevant. There's only the present.
You should know that it's Shi Yue who's fallen for Nan Qiao.
Why can't you just give me a chance to--
Live for the present, not the past. Haven't you learned that from her?
Why do I feel like...
you understand Nan Qiao more than I do?
Go after her confidently, love her openly.
I didn't fall in love with Nan Qiao because of you.
And you shouldn't give up on her because of me.
- Okay. - Remember.
She's the one with the right to choose. We're the ones with the right to act.
So basically...
We aren't enemies now. Just two men who are after the same woman, right?
How do you want me to answer that? What's the answer you want to hear?
Why do you care so much what I think?
You're right, I do care.
And if I say... we're not?
Then I'd do everything I could for Shi Jun Qing...
and do everything in my power to stop Shi Yue.
Drink up.
Here, it's a promise.
Perfect.
Why did you bring me here?
To look. At what?
But this isn't the best place. Come on, we'll go somewhere better.
We're going to find you some hormone candy.
There are this many people here at night?
Research shows that our hormones are the most active at night.
The deeper into the night, the more active they are.
So everyone hangs out here?
Of course.
The gym is the best place to release your hormones.
It's the best place to find a match for yourself.
It's got matchmaking abilities too?
Look. Do you feel anything when you see these half-naked men?
Look at that one.
The muscular type, the lean type...
And there, the bookish type.
The passionate type. They have everything here.
Are you feeling anything yet?
Do you feel your heartbeat rising and your face flushing?
Is your blood boiling?
My heartbeat is normal, and I'm sure my face is normal too.
I think it's kind of cold in here.
All right, the test is over.
You're someone who wouldn't act impulsively due to your hormones
because your brain doesn't possess any womanly visual hormones.
Right. You're done testing, right?
Hold on, sit down!
I'm not done talking yet.
Let me ask you... what happened between you two the night of the subway run?
You've never had this expression while thinking of Chang Jian Xiong.
I don't often think of Chang Jian Xiong for no reason.
I'm afraid of you getting hurt again.
He's different from Zhou Ran.
- In what way? - In every way.
Qiao, we've known each other for four years and six months.
I know all your likes and dislikes and all of your everyday habits.
Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?
If you were like an icy mountain with Zhou Ran...
Shi Yue's appearance has essentially kindled the firewood within your heart.
You're the one who gets hurt whether it's too hot or too cold.
It's only a person whose warmth matches yours...
and is like-minded, who possesses what it takes to accompany you forever.
What is it that you want to say?
Appreciate the people in front of you.
Chang Jian Xiong is the one that suits you the most.
What has Chang Jian Xiong given you?
Don't leave!
Take another look!
Actually, you can do worse things to me.
Who are you?
The owner of Lucid Dream? Or an investor of Future Up?
What gives you the right to appear and disappear from my life at will?
I'm yours.
This place is filled with you.
And I want yours... to be filled with places for me.
Why are you wasted and messing around here instead of going home?
Shi Yue!
Shi Yue, you're drunk!
Shi Yue! Shi Yue! Shi Yue!
You're drunk.
One, two...
I want to invest in Future Up, in the drone industry.
I'm serious. Think about it. You will need me.
Keep this safe for me.
Why don't you come up with something to toast?
To the drone industry then.
As I expected.
Then come up with something unexpected.
To my survival.
Why do you make drones?
In memory of a person.
They're the one who showed me the sky when I was young.
And you? Why do you want to invest in Future Up?
That... Probably because I've seen too many romance films.
I want to know what it's like dating a high tech homebody.
[I won't fear the dark, so you can't be afraid of mistakes!]
You said you'd be my bedside lamp. Why don't I be your guide this time?
Shi Yue! Shi Yue, you're drunk!
Shi Yue! Shi Yue! Shi Yue!
You're drunk.
This person is so strange.
What goes on in your brain?
Hello?
So? Did you get lucky?
I did as you suggested.
You pretended to be drunk?
I misjudged. I really got drunk.
My stomach hurts!
My stomach!
I want water.
I want to vomit.
Getting hungover, breaking and entering my home...
You're lucky I didn't call the cops.
And you have the audacity to demand food and drink.
Where have you been these last two days?
Were you waiting for me?
Since the subway run video went viral, Wendy wants you to be our ambassador.
Don't drink that!
How many times have I told you that good things should be shared?
I've lived alone for a long time. Sharing isn't really my thing.
That's okay. I'll come by more often and you'll get used to it.
Are you going to consider the ambassador thing?
- Do you want me to? - That's your business, not my...
Did you step on me for revenge?
Why would I want revenge?
Revenge for...
my sudden disappearance.
Revenge for not finding you when I came back.
Or revenge for stealing your noodles?
- What are you doing here so early? - To pick you up for work.
Open the door for me.
It's open.
Don't eat the egg!
Why are you here?
Did you not leave last night or did you just come this morning?
If I didn't leave last night, you can only say I've got skills.
If I got here earlier than you this morning, it means I'm more diligent.
Either way, I've won.
This is what you call a fair battle?
Do you still not know what a fair battle means?
The only goal of a fair battle is to win.
What are you talking about so happily with each other?
So you came for him, not for me.
Go in. It's fine.
You're the guest, have a seat.
Aren't you a guest as well?
The chair you're sitting on, and this table...
and the chopsticks in your hands and the pot you're eating with...
Your egg, here.
Nan Qiao and I purchased all of them together.
I may not be their owner, but we know each other well.
That's troubling. You know why?
A guest has a chance to become an owner.
But if you've been an acquaintance for so long with no progress...
you're basically becoming a stranger to them.
One of you refuses to leave, the other comes uninvited.
Have stuff to hash out? Mind doing it somewhere else?
I'm used to eating in peace.
Xiao Qiao, here's the thing. Your dad told me that from now on--
How weak! Using her father to speak...
How impressive.
At least I wouldn't barge into someone's home wasted.
Then why don't you ask the home's owner why she didn't send me back home?
I'm going to work.
Time for work.
Don't worry, there's no need to clean up.
Since you already spent the night, why don't you stay a little longer?
- I'm good. - You can bring up the rear.
Xiao An!
Urgent request from President Wen. Deal with it.
But she said to prepare for the meeting in ten minutes!
Internal meeting! You don't need to join in.
But...
You can only say "okay" when your senior gives you a task
and "yes" when your supervisor tells you to do something.
What's the golden rule of the corporate world? No buts!
A copy of his physical?
What does he expect me to investigate exactly?
What in the world is all this?
You mysteriously disappeared for so long.
Did you show up at the office so early today
to exercise your rights as a shareholder?
To check in on your colleagues? Or to conduct an inspection?
- I came here today to-- - You're... way too confident.
When it comes to shareholder rights, you're just a minority shareholder.
You have the least power of all our shareholders.
Checking in on your colleagues... doesn't fit your character profile.
Aren't you the belligerent type?
Stopping by for an inspection makes even less sense.
If you really cared that much you wouldn't have disappeared for so long.
And you, Chang Jian Xiong.
Shi Yue disappears randomly, and you stop coming into the office.
Shi Yue comes back and you instantly show up.
What's going on?
Has Future Up become the turf upon which the two of you have your pissing contest?
I think you're being too transparent.
So? Supervising the shareholders is part of my job.
I don't know about that...
but you sure are making your opinion about Mr. Shi's disappearance known.
So you're telling me that President Nan
ordered this meeting specifically to lecture me.
Since everyone's here, let's start the meeting.
Boss... we've already concluded the product design meeting.
Yeah, and we've finalized the sales plan.
What did you call us here to say?
We're all here, so let's decide on the color of the VR headsets.
I'd like to see what you guys came up with after the subway run.
Two options. Black or white.
Boss, you don't usually participate in these small decisions.
It's fine if you want to participate in the conceptual design...
but why are you also joining in on color choosing?
What do you know? Your boss personally assists
in everything related to the subway run.
What are you guys thinking?
She is the company's core.
From the company's direction to every product's design...
She has the right and responsibility to follow up on everything.
So what's going on here?
Two colors.
White, paired with neon pink, for girls that love outdoor sports.
Black, paired with neon blue, for the boys.
Choose one of the two. Any objections?
You should produce all the colors.
We have Mr. Chang's money and Wendy's ways to get it done.
More designs will increase our sales.
It will also increase our competitiveness on the market.
Future Up isn't currently capable of creating the style mishmash you're after.
I remember you said to me once
that you want to lead this market, not pander to it.
The fact that a self-centered, capricious shareholder such as yourself
remembers something I've said is incredibly moving.
All right, let's go with the usual. We'll vote.
We're all on the same side. Isn't this way a bit immature?
Aside from me, Kui, and Qin, who else in this room is on your team?
All right. Time is money. Let's get this voting over with.
Six to one...
It looks like everyone agrees with producing all four designs.
Chang Jian Xiong, you also agree?
What Shi Yue said makes sense. We have the means and the money.
Not only will more designs increase sales...
it will widen our consumer base.
Great teamwork. Okay, let's conclude the meeting.
Hold up.
There are only six people in this room. Why are there seven votes?
[Vote Results: 6 to 1]
I have voted in favor.
Have faith in my judgement.
Think about my judgement of women. Do you have to question my taste?
Currently searching for women that match Shi Yue's tastes.
Shut up. Power off.
Angry?
Are you rejecting me?
Then I take back everything I said when I was drunk.
You expect to be able to take back words that have left your mouth?
Then everything you said was just because you were drunk.
I guess I can't take any of it seriously.
If I take it back, I can start over and say how I really feel.
Where are you driving to?
To where we first met.
I want you to know who I am.
Are you okay?
Get out!
Would you like me to get out and apologize to your friend?
Shi Yue! Just call the cops! Have them deal with it.
I'll handle this.
- We can deal with this together. - Go back home. Leave this to me.
An Ning.
You behaved quite differently today from before.
How did I behave before?
Before...
You used to know what to say and what not to ask.
Your puppet, right?
Still mad at me?
Have you ever trusted me once in all these years?
Trust is an element of the heart, not the brain.
Furthermore, this time, aren't the goods being shipped out riskily?
Why come back at this time if you know how risky it is?
To make money!
Why have you called me?
Listen. I want you to give the tea to Chairman Jin's wife.
I've already put the goods in your car.
It's time for you to fulfill the duty of a mistress.
Do well.
Shi Yue.
I need to go somewhere.
- I'll drive you. - No need.
Just give me the car keys. I'll drive myself.
Boss.
- She left alone? - Yes.
It looks like my An Ning is starting to get her own ideas.
- We've been watching Madam. - Watch your words.
You people are taking care of her for me.
I still prefer the An Ning from before.
She didn't think so much. She was happier that way.
That's right. Have you settled the task I gave you?
I have. Rest assured.
Good.
I'm sure you're aware how important today's business is.
Yes. It must not be simple if you are asking Madam to go personally.
In all the days I've been gone, Chairman Jin hasn't received his goods.
He's already brought it up multiple times.
There are threats behind his words.
I've returned this time to tidy things up and get to the bottom of things.
Boss, things have been tense as of late. Perhaps you should...
What about the other thing I tasked you about?
I've settled it. It's all been transferred under Madam's name.
That's good.
Boss.
I know you have no choice, but all of us are counting on you.
- You can't take this risk! - Do you think I want to?
Who would want to?
