[Only Side by Side with You]
[Episode 20]
You want to back out because you've got a girlfriend?
A man without a career is no good.
People like me don't have the right to a girlfriend.
I like your determination. Don't lose it.
I used to be impetuous and always caused problems.
Now I'm different.
I want to accomplish something serious.
You want to change?
Money...
is the best way in which we are connected.
You don't harbor foolish fantasies if there's too much of it
and you don't become strangers if there's too little of it.
Tai.
Both me right now, and your boss when he gets out...
We both need you.
Play?
Do you know who her father is?
- Yes. - And you still have the courage?
- Who is she? - An old friend.
She just came back to China.
Don't worry. I'll make it up to you.
I don't want to know because I trust you.
You never need to use other people to test me.
I just want an honest, grounded relationship.
If you want to play, you should at least play with our own toys.
Once we reach a certain age, we decide to get serious.
- As for Future Up... - Stay there.
Make it huge and successful.
After all, it belongs to us.
Feed it, fatten it up... then swallow it whole.
Only then can you prove that you have good taste.
I've told you before.
If you want to play, I'll play with you.
If you want to swallow it, that's easy.
It's just that I keep thinking...
You know who her father is. You know her family very well.
There's probably personal dignities involved.
Why aren't you sparing them some dignity?
How do you propose I do that?
Competition within an industry is ordinary.
Besides, the one messing around with the youngest Nan girl is you.
The one going against Future Up is also you.
What does it have to do with me?
I've set the company all up for you.
The business is all set.
As for whether you come or not... you decide.
You should know what I set the entrance code to.
The paired wristband has been turned off.
What are you doing here so late?
How could I not come when you're troubled?
You cracked the door code?
That's the day An Ning and I first met.
- She's here. - I figured.
Can you guess what this company's focus is?
She wants to get her hands in on the drone industry too.
- She knows? - She even knows Nan Qiao's name.
She knows everything.
- You and Nan Qiao... - I haven't had time to tell her yet.
You're only one step away.
Every single time.
There is soon going to be an entire world between us.
This is good, I guess. Everything has gone back to square one.
What does An Ning want?
For you to come to Wings to go up against Future Up?
She wants me to stay at Future Up and make it successful.
The bigger the better.
And then she wants to swallow it whole.
Gain the industry, ruin you, and stab Nan Qiao at the same time.
That's An Ning for you.
That's her ferociousness.
She needs a loyal dog.
You finally managed to leave her.
How can you go back?
Did you really think she would let me go?
Even if I left, what would happen to Nan Qiao?
What do you think An Ning would do if she found out
I genuinely want to help Nan Qiao with Future Up?
I could keep my eyes on An Ning for you.
If Ouyang Qi finds out, what will happen to the two of you?
Forget Ouyang Qi! Nan Qiao is the one in danger.
I remember you once advised me not to mess with Nan Qiao.
That is was an unwise decision.
I didn't listen to you and did what I wanted.
I don't want to drag you into this mess now.
This thing has nothing to do with you.
Nothing to do with me?
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met Ouyang Qi.
I hate when men say stupid things
such as, "I want to handle everything on my own."
So you're the only wise one...
and the rest of us are just useless
and incapable of getting you through your troubles?
The best district in the city. The best high-tech labs.
She's capable of drawing in the best technology in the world.
In the future, she can fill these rooms with patented products.
What An Ning understands is how to spend her money.
Think about Nan Qiao.
How much has she gone through for the company she has today?
Think about how she climbed step by step until she reached her dream.
Shi Yue.
I'm afraid that her dream, Future Up, will...
Will fall apart? Will go bankrupt?
Why do you think of Nan Qiao as so weak?
How do you know An Ning will win?
An Ning's ways are more brutal than you think.
All I know is that if Nan Qiao were the one standing here today...
She would smile as she says, "Welcome to the drone industry!"
Why do you have to make this seem like a life-or-death struggle?
You don't know how this is going to end yet.
You're saying...
I should use Wings to secretly pave the way for Future Up.
Not secretly. Openly.
An Ning is the one telling you to make Future Up successful.
Don't forget... you're An Ning's loyal dog.
It's been a long time since you've last seen him.
Maybe you should get someone to keep an eye on him.
It's just because it's been so long
that I don't want to scare him the minute I return.
He and that woman... haven't exactly been subtle lately.
It's just part of an act.
I'm well aware...
of what my relationship with Shi Yue is.
This city is just as I left it.
Still so bright.
It hasn't changed at all.
I only hope...
that he is still himself.
Here, have some more fruit.
Do you know how popular the first season of our show was?
Yes.
That's why we think your show could use drone camera footage.
Do you have any idea how many people are asking our producers to work with us?
The line is from here to Beijing, all the way up to the Northeast!
We understand.
Do you understand the concept of time? Time is money!
Call your owner! We're in a rush! We still have work.
Be more considerate!
If it weren't for our boss...
forget an hour and 30 minutes. I wouldn't even wait a minute.
Hey! Director, director!
He's definitely stuck in bad traffic.
He just called and said he's almost here.
Call him then! Right now!
If it rings three times and no one picks up, I'm leaving.
I'll call, I'll call!
Director Wang!
I'm sorry for keeping you. I had another appointment.
With who? Whose time is more precious than our crew's?
President Li...
What brings you here?
I spent the trip over discussing drone cinematography with President Li.
He's very talented and knows a lot so I brought him over to meet you.
You should've said so earlier!
Whether or not our drones can join the crew
for the second season will depend on you.
Director Wang, have you looked over the details?
Yes, yes.
I skimmed through it.
Isn't this just a typical business exchange?
Why did he bring the big boss over?
Shi Yue wants to help Future Up grow big.
Everyone knows that the film industry is where it's at.
Don't tell me he's really fallen for that chick?
Not just.
He's gone all out. You know who that is?
A famous, greedy mastermind of a man.
He has a huge appetite and knows how to play his cards.
He practically cut off his fingers and toes to get him over here.
He's put all his earnings on the line.
I guess I should give up on getting a new bar.
Obviously.
Old Chang, there's so many people here! Can you not act so ridiculously?
Act appropriately!
- Sit down. Sit down already! - People are going to talk!
- You... - Who cares what people say?
After all these years, my son finally admitted his feelings.
But your daughter is difficult to get a handle on.
If my son wants to go from friend to lover...
It won't be easy.
No, that's because you don't know how to teach your son!
- What, do I have to do the work? - Forget it.
When the crucial moment comes, the two of us have to be supportive.
You can act the patriarch and coax them.
- I'm going to grumble out my advice-- - The phrase is "instruct earnestly."
I'm just kidding!
I'm going to instruct them earnestly and coerce them.
Yes. We have to delegate and target different tasks.
You have experience in that.
I'm direct and produce quick results. And you... you're the perfect patriarch.
- Yes! I'm the spirit! - And I'm the matter!
All right, then it's a deal.
Here, we should get it down in writing.
- Look. - What's this?
"How We Will Develop Nan Qiao and Chang Jian Xiong's Relationship."
We have to sign this.
Dou Dou. Dou Dou!
I haven't even signed yet. Give it back to me!
"Tech Geek, Veteran Otaku, Virgin."
Kui's placed first for his freakishness!
- That's me. - What kind of show is this?
- If I'd known, I would've joined too! - You?
I'm so much more stylish and handsome compared to him!
Is playing around the only thing you people do in the office anymore?
Ethic! Where's your work ethic?
Kui.
Joining a variety show is your personal business.
Can you refrain from letting it affect your work?
- I won't, I won't. - Have you edited the subway run video?
Well...
How many days have I been saying this?
The focus of the video has to be on the drone's filming capabilities.
We have to take advantage of this period to do another round of marketing!
I'll get on it. Right away. Right now.
Why are we talking about the subway run again?
Are you still trying to get Shi Yue to be the ambassador?
What? You guys want to use Shi Yue as an ambassador?
We're just borrowing Shi Yue's running figure.
We'll cut all the closeups and just use the long shots.
Would that be okay?
- Not really. - I don't agree either.
Why not?
We have the resources but we're not allowed to use them...
What a waste.
Since we're using the run video and the image of our shareholder...
I think you need to include closeups.
And also include a shot of Shi Yue with the drone.
Turn him into the perfect male idol.
That way, he'll be a good match for a Future Up drone.
I love that! The perfect male idol.
Xiao An can be in charge of editing the video.
I'm so not used to her acting like that.
The flowers are blooming, love is in the air...
- But why do I have to edit the video? - It's perfect. Serves you right!
Good, you're both here.
Take a look at the info on this variety show Hao Jie sent over.
Isn't this the one Kui's joining? I heard it's really popular lately.
[Let's Start Dating!]
How did Hao Jie think of this?
A variety show...
This is good chance to get out name out there.
When I have time I'll check it out and see what it's about.
Yes.
If our drones can be displayed on this show...
it'll be much more effective than advertisements.
Drone aerial photography...
This idea is perfect!
Mr. Shi, I'm glad you're here.
I want to discuss the ambassador thing with you.
Nan Qiao has specifically told us to edit the video
in whatever way makes you look the best.
Prepare yourself to become popular along with Future Up.
You aren't going to refuse, are you?
Nan Qiao has already agreed to it.
It doesn't matter whether I agree.
The most important thing is that President Nan likes it.
If she does, then that's that.
By the way, I came to discuss something with you guys.
A production company is investing in a variety show's second season.
Several scenes in it requires aerial photography.
They also need some tech experts, so I recommended Future Up.
- Also... - You found them for us?
We don't need to look them up anymore.
For security reasons, I think we should still look them up.
For the sake of safety.
That aside, it still depends on whether you two are up for it.
We are. Of course we are. This... This is amazing!
This show's first season ratings broke a bunch of records.
I'm sure the second season will be even more popular.
If we could use this show to premiere our product...
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!
But sending our tech guys over to fly drones...
Wouldn't that be wasting their talents?
We could just look online for drone flying experts.
This isn't a drone operating contest.
This is a promotion opportunity that others would kill for!
You can't go wrong listening to me.
Let's prepare well. This could make Future Up an overnight success.
Okay. Since everyone has agreed, it's decided then.
Right?
I'm going to go discuss it with our tech geeks.
Meeting, everyone!
I'm against it!
- Why? - I read the email. It says...
"Drone flyers must strictly follow the crew's shooting plan."
Yeah. So?
We have to do everything they say.
Basically, we're a technical adviser.
In reality, we're just following their orders.
There are loads of people out there who could do this!
There's nothing technical about it! They don't need us.
You won't go just because there's nothing technical about it?
Giving us a promotion opportunity would kill you?
President Wen! I know where you're coming from.
But I still disagree.
Yes, we need the exposure right now.
But we can't give people the idea that simply flying drones is research!
We're researchers, not drone flyers!
What's your big problem? Who says researchers can't be drone flyers?
I'm the one who made this decision.
I think we should go on this variety show.
Boss, if you do this, people will think of our drones as toys!
Why can't drones be toys?
It's not only a toy.
We need to give people a chance to play with them and get drawn to them.
Only then can we inform them that drones have many more uses.
Tell me.
Aside from this chance, what other chances to do you foresee
for us to show off our drones?
Boss is right. We have to tell people what a bright future drones have.
[Outdoor]
In addition, this filming job won't be so easy.
There's a challenge in it. Are you interested?
What challenge could there be?
360-degree full-on stereo display.
Aside from the vast majority of outdoor scenes...
we'll need to be able to demonstrate interior panning abilities.
Haven't you always wanted to try out the interior navigational system?
Boss, that really does sound like a challenge.
I've been researching this for half a year.
Xiao An. You'll be my assistant.
I'll use this job to test out my abilities.
Kui!
You sit here and give me technical support.
- I need to go! - You don't need to go!
I'm a guest on the show.
- That's that then? - Let's start preparing.
Let's brainstorm how to film so that Kui looks hotter.
You haven't said anything since Shi Yue arrived.
Xiao Qiao hasn't spared me a glance since Shi Yue arrived.
Is that so different from usual?
What's to blame is that certain people are too reserved.
Look at him.
I think this is an important chance for Future Up. What do you think?
You have to be proactive if you want the girl.
More thick-skinned, bigger actions, more surprises.
- What girl wouldn't love that? - Why are you siding with the other team?
I...
Thanks.
Why act like such a stranger?
Don't forget that I belong to Future Up and to President Nan.
This film job requires a lot of work.
I want to rehearse and practice beforehand.
So I got you a meeting with the director. You need some professional advice.
Will you go with me?
I believe I still owe you half a date.
Not bringing personal problems into work is my golden rule.
This opportunity is important for you, me, and all of Future Up.
To Future Up, it's also a challenge.
I'm concerned that we won't do well.
Why don't you have faith in my judgment?
I don't want any judgments regarding Future Up to show any errors.
Considering my taste in women, you should have faith in my...
Xiao Qiao, me and Shi...
We'll be off and leave you to work.
Is this you declaring war?
When it comes to getting girls... you have to go big.
Especially for girls like Nan Qiao.
It seems like you really don't understand.
I suggest you pack up all your tricks and put them away.
Future Up's future isn't a joke to me.
You wouldn't want the film job to go badly either, right?
Is this you declaring war?
Future Up's future isn't a joke to me.
You wouldn't want the film job to go badly either, right?
- Wear this. - Why?
An accessory, to make us more charismatic.
Please, I don't need this to be charismatic!
- Hello there. - Hi.
- Feel free to take a look. - All right.
You want me to tell the truth, right?
Look, this place is filled with young people.
If we run into someone we know, where would we put our pride?
See? Everyone's looking at us.
You sure?
This girl at my company said this is the hottest show right now.
It's a dating show.
How could the two of us not be as good as them
They're professionals! The success rate is higher.
If it's up to us, the probability of success is more random.
Have we ever succeeded in all these years?
So we're signing up?
We are.
Hello.
Are you here on behalf of your children?
Yeah!
I mean, did you think we wanted to...
Sir, you're so funny. I'm sure your child is interesting.
What is that supposed to mean?
Is that a word you use to describe a person?
You should say "brilliant"!
Right. Brilliant.
All right. I've received your information.
Rest assured, I'll handle this appropriately.
Sir, do you have any more questions? This is our website's mobile app.
If your friends or family have questions, they can ask them through the app.
No, no, no, that's no good.
- Sir... - You can't split them.
This is my daughter. And that's his son.
We want them to be paired together!
Our request is really simple.
Sir, this is how it is. All the applications have to be screened.
There will be a public poll online.
The public will decide who is best matched for each other.
There's some randomness at work too.
You're not allowed to make pair requests.
But... there's this old saying.
Marriage is up to the parents and the matchmaker!
The parents are here! Can't your show be the matchmaker?
Would that be so difficult?
Watch your tone. Watch your tone.
Just think of it as helping us out.
Sir, it's not that we don't want to help you.
The purpose of our show is for young people
to step out of their social circles and meet new people.
Look at our slogan. "Love in seven days. Do you dare?"
We're trying to encourage young people to meet new people.
- And they might meet the one. - But...
What the hell has society turned into?
People gamble with love?
Do you guys think we're clueless just because we're old?
All those spinsters and people afraid of marriage...
I know those are games you young people play.
- Yeah! - You don't respect love...
so why should you expect love to respect you?
Take us for example.
We've known each other for decades. We know everything about each other!
That's why we can discuss things like love!
That's right.
Let's go.
Come on.
Sirs, aren't you applying anymore?
It's not fair! Absolutely not fair!
How come I have to edit the video just because Kui's going on the show?
How come Boss and the male idol went out to conduct test flights
and left me here all alone!
Am I invisible?
Not ladylike at all...
Even if I was, it wouldn't be for you.
I'm older than you, why would I care?
I'm asking you for advice!
What kind of girls do men like?
Is this called asking for advice?
You're being provocative!
Really?
Come here. Stand over there.
Stand a little further.
- Pose gracefully. - Okay.
Smile.
Yes. Now come forward two steps.
- Stand up straighter! - But it's uncomfortable.
Here, make your gaze gentler. Look into the distance.
- Okay. - Yes. Don't move!
That's right!
Hey, I have a question...
Considering our relationship, being straightforward is the best!
What relationship do we have that we're straightforward?
You don't think of me as a woman and I don't think of you as a man.
I don't think of you as a woman, right? What part of you is womanly?
That's why I'm asking you for advice!
How do I change?
- Why change? - For love
For love?
Listen up. Love is filled with lies.
Not lying to others, but lying to yourself!
You lie to yourself to become the person whom your crush likes.
And over time, you become that person.
Become the kind of person that my crush likes...
Listen, why don't you do this?
You can find someone first.
Choose someone from around you. That'll motivate you to change yourself.
- That makes sense! - Right?
I mean, look. Your social circle is pretty narrow, right?
There aren't that many men around you.
- So you know, I can... - I got it!
Shi Yue!
- Why him? - I really have too few men around me.
But... Around you, you've got...
- Kui! Chang! Me! - It wouldn't work!
Kui is the show's. Chang is Boss's.
Yeah... but why does it have to be Shi Yue?
It's just for fun. At least I've got to get someone attractive and rich.
Thanks!
For helping me decide who to go after.
I'll be counting on your advice on how to go after him!
What? When did I help you decide?
We haven't drank like this in a while.
Yeah.
Back in the day, every time we were on leave, we shared a drink.
Our rule at the time was whoever loses has to pay the bill.
Sure! Let's follow the old rule today.
The old rule!
Here.
Cheers!
Hey... let's just leave the children on their own.
These days people are all about freedom. Our ideas are too old-fashioned.
If you ask me, these are all issues caused by too much freedom.
I only have one son. I'll spoil him if I must.
When he was at the border, it was so silent in our house.
That's something a woman would say.
If he didn't come back, he could've established something great!
You don't get it.
You have two daughters and a grandson.
You have it so much better!
I admit.
I'm a coward. I just want to keep my son at my side.
Think about it, why do we try to hard to succeed out there?
It's all for them!
I have to die before he does.
To tell you the truth, I want him to be sad.
I want him to miss me, to think of me.
Xiao Qiao is out there fighting too. You have to support her.
Daughters, you know...
I've known you forever but I never thought of you
as the type to think sons were better than daughters.
Living together happily and safely... is anything more important than that?
The universe has its own plan. We don't need to mind their business.
You really want to give up and not try to get them together?
Stop putting feathers in your own cap.
You're just trying to prove that you're still young and useful!
Trying to plan out your child's life is a father's instinct.
Instinct?
We're just cowards in front of our children.
Let's stop trying to act like we're amazing.
You asking Professor Liang to help was instinct though, right?
I'm sure it wasn't out of friendship.
Hold up.
Friendship between who and who?
I didn't specify that it was Liang and Xiao Qiao's mother.
- Do you still want to drink? - Of course!
No more.
You're so petty!
Hello?
Hey bro. Are you busy?
If not, why not come to Lucid Dream?
- What's up? - An Ning reserved the entire place.
- She said... - What?
She said it's for you.
I got it.
This is too much.
I've been wondering about the wine here.
Forget one bottle, you can have the entire cellar.
I'll toast you. Thanks An Ning, for taking care of my business.
You don't need to call so many people the next time you come.
Just let me know and I can handle it.
- It's all on me today. - Okay.
Here!
- You don't need to pay. - An Ning!
President Shi, long time no see.
An Ning, you've finally come back!
The sky would have fallen if you didn't!
An Ning, I followed you loyally for so many years.
But this guy... he got rid of us without batting an eye!
He didn't show the slightest bit of consideration!
President Shi has always had the final word here.
You're aware of that.
