Episode 19 What wakes you up is not the dream, but the alarm clock
Aunt,
Xiaorou said something
in a charity party
she attended before.
I think you should watch it.
There are two very important elements.
Matchstick and starry sky.
They both represent
a very important connotation.
That's hope.
On the road of chasing dreams,
we may have to leave hometown
and may experience frustration and mock.
We may be doubted
or we may eat instant noodles
in the rent room every day
but dare not let others learn this.
We may even slapped
into the earth by the fate,
watching all our efforts
gradually turning into bubbles.
We may even
doubt whether
we should continue or not someday.
Aunt.
Show window design is an art.
Xiaorou
is quite talented in this aspect.
Please read this.
This is a very famous
fashion magazine in our country.
Xiaorou's work,
“Rainbow in the Snow Country,”
won their special award
in their competition.
Aunt.
Why are you here?
Sorry.
I didn't get your massage.
I guess you might come here,
so I came here to have a look.
Can you take a photo for me?
Okay.
Come on.
Here.
Three, two, one.
One more.
Okay.
All right. Take a look.
Looked carefully,
this city is pretty beautiful in fact.
Aunt,
you asked me
why I still stayed here
as many things
are so bad in this city.
Later, I thought of it.
Wherever you come from,
and no matter you have
relationships or background or not,
as long as you have talents
and make certain efforts,
you must be rewarded.
Aunt,
I believe this city
won't let Xiaorou down.
I'd like to take a walk outside.
Dishes are on the table.
Warm them if they are cold.
As long as you have talents
and make certain efforts,
you must be rewarded.
Aunt,
I believe this city
won't let Xiaorou down.
Mom.
Strange.
Breakfast is in the pot.
Warm it up if you get up late.
I'll go home for something first.
The morning train. I don't need you to see me off.
The made wonton is in the refrigerator.
It's the stuffing of dried small shrimps you love most.
I've made only two drawers.
Too many wontons won't be
fresh as time goes by.
I've also made a pot of chili sauce for you.
But the chili here
is not as pungent as that in our hometown.
When you have no appetite,
you can take some.
But don't eat too much of it at a time.
Don't always stay up usually.
Eat more fruit,
eat less instant noodles
that are not healthy.
Yesterday,
I went to see your show window.
I'm not
good at appreciating it.
But I think the show window you designed
is very big and beautiful.
I also heard that you won awards.
Congratulate you.
But you can't be arrogant.
Keep going for it.
There are many bad aspects of this city.
Bad air, traffic jam
and it always makes me lost.
You must have a hard time
living alone these years.
If I could come to see you
two years earlier,
I must take you home.
But now
this city has been different
to you.
You have a job you like
and your friends and dreams here.
Most importantly,
there are also people
who silently love you here.
Help me to thank
the young man downstairs.
I can see that
he cares about you.
I came and left hurriedly this time,
so I didn't prepare gifts.
When you cook wonton later,
remember to invite him to have a taste.
I'm leisure in the hometown.
No need to worry about me.
By the way,
the flowers of Hongchi Dam are blooming,
I'll take photos for you later.
=The spacecraft circles the earth again and again.=
=The entire world stays up with me.=
=After waiting, it's waiting again.=
=The next light year.=
=Engine accelerates the burning to be away from the ground.=
=Despair hovers with me.=
=Closing eyes,=
=I get some security.=
= I still can't catch.=
Waking up,
I find one of clothes hung on the balcony
was blown down to the ground again.
People rushing to and fro on the streets
are stilly crowded and noisy.
It seems
the same with
other normal morning.
But sitting here,
I feel that I'm like
a newly broken poached egg,
and my heart is full
of happiness.
Because I finally realize that
my mom who always
keeps nagging every day,
my friends who refute me without saving my face
and that pet Totoro
that can't learn everything
are trying best to love me
in their own ways.
Morning, Mr. Chi.
Morning. Mr. Chi.
Morning.
Morning. Morning.
Morning, Mr. Chi.
Mr. Chi. Morning.
Xin.
This is the latest planning currently.
Okay.
And your package.
Please give me a cup of coffee.
Thank you. Okay.
Caramel latte with more milk and sugar.
Say. Who are you?
Don't, don't beat me.
I'm her fan.
Why do you tail after her?
What's your relationship
with Ding Xiaorou?
Why do you know clearly
when she was poured with coffee
and when she was kidnapped.
Do you have some
unknown secrets?
Watch your mouth.
Let's compete in programs if you are able.
Stop nagging here
like a woman.
As for the raw material,
you must continue...
Leave first.
Okay.
Producer Chi.
What's up?
Stop pretending foolish.
You know clearly
what you have done.
Chi Xin.
Producer.
Please don't always
put on airs.
How tiresome it is!
Just talk frankly.
Or what you need
me to help you to do?
I must try my best.
Tong Liang.
Every industry has its rules.
You took and posted those photos,
which broke the rules
and your principles of conduct.
If I continue to investigate it,
I can find who took the photos easily.
And with this clue,
I can easily find the employer.
You employed someone
to take photos of me and Ding Xiaorou.
But can you bear the consequence?
That's what I want to ask.
Can you bear the consequence?
What do you mean?
Chi Xin, you are clever.
Let me make it simple.
In the entire building,
I don't want to see you any more.
In your post,
although I leave,
another person like me will come.
Don't you know it?
Of course, I know it.
But at least I can make you leave first.
After I leave,
will you become the No. 1 in the world?
What if I don't leave?
Have you considered the company?
Have you considered
the profit of those you harmed?
Calm down.
I surely know that
once the photos are known by the public,
it will cause very bad
impact to you, Ding Xiaorou
and the company.
What's worse,
I will also be implicated.
But Chi Xin,
I control the cards now.
Whether we should continue to gamble
depends on you.
Chi Xin,
don't you always
have Plan B in doing things?
Let me guess
what your Plan B is.
You want to keep “Sandstorm of Love”
or your crew members
who follow you and do nothing?
The most important is Ding Xiaorou.
Bingo.
Don't be arrogant too early.
I won't let you make it.
Chi Xin.
You can't win every gamble.
Pleasant cooperation.
Please.
What's this?
Letter of termination of external employment.
I know what you are thinking about.
I think our relationship
will influence your work.
As long as I stay here,
you won't be recognized
however hard you work.
Sorry for letting you down.
I hope you can consider it.
Mr. Zheng, the next meeting
will begin soon.
Okay. I'll go there right now.
Okay.
Xiaorou, hi.
Let me help you.
No need. I can do it myself.
=Maybe you put a spell on me.=
=I am a popular girl,=
=but here is=
=my number.=
=Call me, maybe you'll be close to me.=
= I just can't believe that=
=you're here.=
=I just want to make you stay.=
Mr. Zheng.
Here is a piece of good news.
Ding Xiaorou is back.
Where is she?
=Now tell me tell me=
=we are into something.=
Nice.
Zheng Ze.
These days
when I passed this show window,
I pondered
when this model
could have a perfect home.
It's indeed wronged these days.
How are you recently?
15.
What do you mean?
The number of ice cream I took these two days.
Do you want the 16th one?
So aunt supports you now.
Then I'm relieved.
These days, I have been worried
that you would cold-shoulder me
due to my impolite
acts that day.
How come?
You are my friend
and my boss now.
I'd better fawn on you.
And this ice cream
fully proves it.
Eat. Don't think too much.
Wonton. Wonton. Wonton.
Isn't it a little bit exaggerating?
When can I
eat them up?
There seems to be something
more urgent than wonton.
Hello, Sasa.
I invite you
to eat hot pot in my home tonight.
You finally know
to invite me.
No.
My mom came
days before.
And she prepared
a lot of ingredients for me.
I've thought for a long time.
And I think hot pot
is the best solution.
I thought you had conscience.
Cut the crap. Will you come or not?
7 o'clock tonight.
Okay.
I like sesame paste.
Okay. See you tonight.
Bye.
Hello, Mingzhu.
Your voice is so sweet.
Do you have any good news?
I like cattle stomach
and Zheng likes duck blood.
Okay?
Don't worry. I have everything.
You can take what you want.
See you tonight.
Hello, Xiaorou.
Hi, Zheng Ze.
Do you still remember
I wanted to invite you to spicy hot pot?
I surely remember it.
You are lucky.
Now I upgrade it
to super luxury hot pot.
So great.
When?
7 o'clock tonight.
Tonight?
I need to meet
a very important customer tonight.
Yes. I've forgotten it.
You are David now.
We need to make a reservation now.
Forget it.
Never mind.
I can treat you next time.
Okay.
Take more photos
and post them to the Moments.
Don't worry.
Your Moments
will be full of my photos tonight.
For programs with bad results,
we need to summarize the lesson.
For programs with good results,
you can't be arrogant.
The last episode of “Sandstorm of Love”
has a very successful audience rating.
We also hope that
the audience rating of the next episode
would be stable and increase.
It's rare that so many young people
to exert creativity
to the company.
This is blessing of the company.
These days,
thank you for taking care of my mom.
Are you free tonight?
Come to have hot pot at my home.
We must win fame
in the media circles.
Let's occupy the posts of tyrants.
Your future
is bright. Okay?
Good. Well said.
Hello.
Mingzhu, what's up?
Sorry.
Zheng called me just now,
saying that he secretly
bought the tickets of concert.
So the hot pot tonight...
Never mind. Never mind.
You should go to the concert.
It'll be a pity that you don't go there.
Let's have hot pot together next time.
Okay.
I wish you a good time.
Boss.
Why don't you go home for a rest after work?
I'll go later.
Boss.
I see you are not right today.
Are you okay?
Insomnia.
I'm fine.
Would you like to go to the concert
for relaxation with us?
I know
you and Mingzhu
will attend a concert.
Go now.
I accompany her.
She likes it.
Remember.
Don't fall asleep.
Don't worry. I will try to stay up.
I'm leaving, boss.
Once the photos are known by the public,
it will cause very bad
impact to you, Ding Xiaorou
and the company.
What's worse,
I will also be implicated.
But Chi Xin,
I control the cards now.
Whether we should continue to gamble
depends on you.
Thank you.
Sasa, where are you now?
I'm still in the hospital.
Well,
I might not be able
to go to your house today.
Because I have two more surgeries.
No way.
Did you discuss it?
You know what?
It's the nephew
of director's brother-in-law
directly asked me to carry out the surgery.
I can't decline.
But today is the first day
for me to stay luckily today.
You won't accompany me
to celebrate it?
Because you
stay luckily,
so it means
we have a lot of time
to spend together.
But if I
disobey the order,
I'm afraid I will lose
my job today.
Please understand me.
All right. Go mind your business.
Who is so disgusting?
Remember to cut him two more times.
Yes.
Bye.
Two declined me.
One left for business.
And one didn't answer my WeChat massage.
It seems that
only I will have the hot pot.
Having the hot pot alone
is also pretty good.
It's a pity for them that
they can't learn my super cooking skills.
The oyster sauce you want.
Place it here first.
So spicy.
Is it spicy?
With this sauce, it won't be spicy.
Can you really make
delicious seasoning with peanut oil?
You don't believe it?
Don't eat it if you don't believe me.
What's going on with you?
Can I ask it casually?
Let me teach you a dipping seasoning with peanut oil.
With peanut oil as the base,
then
add oyster oil, smashed garlic, coriander.
Some beef sauce is the best.
It's delicious.
Smell it.
It sounds interesting indeed.
It tastes great.
You are great.
Take it.
I'm starting.
Wait.
What's wrong?
What can I help you?
No need.
Eating more is enough.
That's what I wanted to do.
It's pretty poetic.
Eat it now. It's ready.
Seriously, I need to thank you.
Thank you for taking care of my mom,
sending her to the hospital
and leading her to watch the show window.
But I actually
treated you rudely that night.
I'm sorry.
I feel your sincerity.
You even add instant noodles in the hot pot for me.
Without you,
my mom might not
understand
my dream now.
So my little fire
which is going to extinguish in my heart
is burning and boiling
as this hot pot.
Who touches your mom
is not me, but you.
So you can thank yourself.
I'll celebrate myself.
I can continue to stay
in this city.
So it's really worth celebrating.
This morning,
I specially swore to Little Star
that
I must live up
to my mom's trust.
I will take show window design
as my lifetime dream.
Just as that law
you mentioned before.
Whatever work you do,
as long as you spend 10,000 hours in it,
you will become a world-class master
although you are ordinary before.
Gladwell.
Yes.
Glad...
well. Well.
Gladwell. Cheers.
For Gladwell, cheers.
