[Standing in the Time]
My name is Li Xiao.
"Xiao" as in school?
- Intern? When are you becoming a formal employee? - I think soon.
If Litte Lu doesn't come back,
you could become a permanent employee.
I am an author.
Say, it was not easy that you finally finished writing a book, but I could not even understand the title.
You can't understand, but that doesn't mean others can't either.
We are currently looking for amateur models.
I don't have interest in that industry.
I want to find him.
Congratulation in advance for becoming
Resa's forever reader.
Of course, I will forever be Resa's reader.
Let's just say I'm celebrating in advance for myself. Is that okay?
Okay, no problem.
I was wrong. Sorry.
I shouldn't have made that joke.
Anyways, I'm not petty.
Your heart is bigger than the sky.
Why are you speaking so weirdly today?
I'll try again.
I hope Li Xiao can become a formal Resa employee and be my colleague.
We'll love each other. At least, judging from a selfish aspect,
my aesthetics are just on point. Right?
That's better.
[My Family Noodle Shop]
Tasty.
- Tasty, right? - Yes.
Tasty.
I've cooked this for a whole afternoon now.
It's good.
I'm back!
Xiao Xiao is back!
- Perfect, have some bone soup. - I already ate.
- Don't go up! You have to have some of this soup. - It's good.
Here, taste some.
It's tasty, very tasty.
Thank you, oldest nephew!
Here.
I stewed it for a whole afternoon.
It's very supplementing. Have a taste.
You forgot to add MSG and salt?
Too much salt is bad for you. MSG can cause cancer.
Then, how do I drink this?
Just how it is.
It has no flavor!
Drink it as it is! Drink it!
Eighth Aunt, it's very good for your health.
Where did you read about this?
- I... - Sister Lin, show her the post.
Okay, I'll show you.
I'll read it. When wearing contacts, stay away from high temperatures.
Or else, the contacts will melt into your eyes.
You must throw out receipts immediately.
If it's with you for a long time, it could cause cancer.
Cactus. Bring it to work tomorrow.
Say goodbye to your computer's radiation.
Where'd you read all of this from?
These are all myths. Do you not have knowledge?
You're saying shopping receipts can cause cancer?
Then, what about the cashiers? Won't they all have cancer? That's scary.
- And this cactus, it's supposed to block radiation and cancer? - Yes.
Then go fill the hospital with cacti, okay?
What are doctors and nurses for?
And this. Too much salt is bad for you.
MSG can easily cause cancer.
Then there's no nutrition! What will the human body do without nutrients?
- And this soup⁠— - Okay, stop talking.
Look who sent it.
- My mom? - Yep, Grandaunt sent it.
"Filial Piety and Health Tips."
The details mentioned in here
are usually neglected, but they're very important!
No knowledge? That's okay. It's nothing scary.
What's scary is being knowledge-less and pretending to have it.
Why are you glaring at me? You want me to call your mom?
For what?
These public accounts are all for tricking middle-aged people like you!
Especially middle-aged females!
Not talking about you, Little Sister Lin. Trust me,
the next thing this account will do is to sell you guys medicines.
Nope!
Their public account is all free.
They're being kind.
Young people like you shouldn't think of society so darkly.
More sunshine, please!
You're saying that all the things in here are lies and nonsense.
Tell us. What is correct then?
Reason with us. Can you?
Come, Teacher Qin, tell her about it.
I think that young people
should listen more and speak less.
Thank you all.
You just wait.
[4. Excessive entertainment. If you do excessive entertainment...]

[Little Health Tips]
Fake common sense that severely harms others.
A public account with no conscience.
It's very difficult to dissolve the calcium in bones.
The calcium in bone soup is then very little.
It's impossible for it to induce any actual calcium supplementing effect.
According to tests done using radiation detecting instruments,
cacti don't actually block radiation.
In fact, no anti-radiation plant has ever been discovered yet.
Contact lenses that pass the standards will not melt under high temperatures.
When used with adequate moisture, it can resist heat more.
Store receipts contain bisphenol A,
but the transfer to humans is too little to cause anything.
Regular people only come in contact with a few receipts,
they won't cause cancer.
Also, the main components in MSG, monosodium glutamate,
has treated chronic hepatitis,
hepatic coma, epilepsy,
hypochlorhydria and other ailments.
It has no possibility of causing cancer.
Zhou Zimo!
Get up, get up.
What're you doing so early in the morning?
Get up!
You have the nerve to be sleeping here?
Do you want to get me killed?
Let me show you.
Look, look. I received more than five hundred complaints.
Someone even reposted on Weibo to criticize.
It's trending! Trending!
Here. Look for yourself.
Take it and look.
What're you sleeping for?
What're you laughing about?
"Fake common sense that severely harms others."
"A public account with no conscience."
Look how harsh the wordings are, and you're laughing?
They aren't wrong.
Look at all your ads.
Either it's all fake information,
or you cut corners to make them.
Who else would they complain about?
However, that person is pretty interesting.
Zhou Zimo! Get it right!
This Weibo post was complaining about the fake common sense you wrote,
not the ads I promoted!
What does the common sense have to do with me?
You gave me some random websites and told me to copy and paste.
Why're you yelling at me now?
Why didn't you paste the accurate information?
You specifically chose the wrong ones!
You told me to paste randomly.
I told you to check, to check!
You said there was no need. You said so!
Move out right now.
This business is over.
- I can't afford to raise you. - Hold on!
What do you mean "raise me"?
What did you ever do?
What's between us is called a fair deal.
I wrote all that crap for you to earn money that I deserved.
I don't owe you.
Before dark,
get out of my sight. Disappear!
Eighth Aunt, you're about to be late.
I don't have work today.
No work today?
It's not the weekend.
I'm done with my internship. They asked me to stay home and wait for their call.
Don't you usually wait while at work if you're going to be regularized?
- They won't even let you go? - No.
HR told me to go home and wait for their call.
HR? Your boss is called HR?
What are you so uncultured? HR is the abbreviation of Human Resources.
HR.
Okay, have some soy milk.
Wait calmly.
Next pic.
Next, very good!
Next pic.
Continue. He has the feels.
Bring him here.
Amanda, I captured these randomly. He might not be suitable.
I think he is. That's fine!
Okay, you all have found your model.
Bring them to see me.
I will make the decision.
Eighth Aunt. Eighth Aunt.
What's up with you?
Nothing new?
Then, you can ask your classmate.
Xia Fan?
She's a fashion editor. She's very busy.
Sending a WeChat message is fine, right?
- She can reply when she's free. - I'm leaving, boss.
Thank you!
- Come again! - Welcome to return!
How is she supposed to know?
But she's at least a part of the company.
Whether you're accepted or not, there should be some news.
You might as well try asking her.
Xia Fan, I'm so annoyed at home.
Has your proposal passed?
It did. Although I made some changes,
they still used some of our ideas.
Great! Any news from Resa?
I've been waiting for HR's call but didn't get anything.
At today's meeting for the proposals, Chief even mentioned you.
I'm guessing you have a chance.
When this ingredient is added, it's totally different.
- What is it? - Eldest Nephew, I'm leaving for a while!
Xiao Xiao!
You got accepted?
Eighth Aunt... No charge! All the meals are free!
It's on the house!
Hello, do you need something?
Hello, I'll buy this.
Okay. Please come over here to pay.
A total of ¥ 9,888.
After the discount, it's ¥9386. Right?
¥9386, please enter your passcode.
Excuse me.
Hello?
Hello, this is Dong Fan Human Resources.
Hello, this is Li Xiao.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication
towards Dong Fan during your internship.
Just that we're very sorry to inform you,
Resa magazine this time
does not have plans to hire any fashion editors,
so we hope you continue to check our hiring plans for next year.
Let's work together again if there's a chance.
Wait⁠—
Your passcode.
Chief, let us try to imagine it.
Does high fashion style really
match Mr. Yun Zhi?
The things I said at the meeting were okay, right?
Amanda isn't upset, right?
Of course, she's a bit unhappy.
Sorry.
Li Xiao, you're back.
The results have come out?
Amy, please open the door for me.
The topic wearing outerwear as an inner garment giving a wonderful effect: push it back more.
Just place it behind the exclusive interview section.
Also, the final male models selected from the street shots
will be participating in a special new merchandise shoot with RIBECS.
This brand is a very hot trend these days.
It's very difficult to get a special shoot with them. Tell everyone that they need to prepare extra well for it.
No problem.
Li Xiao, why are you here?
Li Xiao!
Li Xiao. Li Xlao! Li Xiao.
Amanda, I want to talk to you.
Talk about what?
I want to ask you why can't Resa hire me?
Is it because I was not good enough
or was it because I contradicted you?
Do you know how important Resa is to me?
I read my first Resa Magazine when I was eight with my mom and I've never stopped since.
I have never missed any issue.
Because Resa not only directed me on how to dress,
it even affected me to have a more positive and healthy life and attitude.
That's enough, Li Xiao.
Amanda, do you know?
Since the first Resa Magazine I read until now,
I've annotated every single issue.
I've combed through each page of the previous issues multiple times.
Although I may be just a novice in the workplace right now,
I don't believe I don't have what it takes to be a fashion editor here.
There are tens of thousands of girls who love fashion.
Is every girl who likes to dress up
suitable to be a fashion editor?
Li Xiao, I think you have some misunderstandings.
I can comment on whether you can enter Resa or not,
but the ultimate decision-maker is not me.
My original opinion of you was pretty good,
but your attitude today
has disappointed me thoroughly.
Amanda, I—
Sorry, Amanda. Sorry.
Li Xiao cares very much about Resa.
Sorry, Amanda. Please don't take it to heart.
No! I care! I am very bothered!
Li Xiao, I'm going to say this again.
Whether or not you are able to enter Resa is not up to me. Go talk to HR!
- Amanda⁠— - Amanda, sorry.
Come on. Come on.
Excuse me. Move aside. Thank you.
Come here. What's going on?
Hello! I'm back!
Little Lu? Weren't you going to start a business with your husband when your maternity leave was over?
What? You don't want me here?
My husband said he'd be responsible for being the breadwinner.
I just need to beautifully come back to Resa.
The pressure on us is too much right now.
The ratio between us and the writers is even worse than it was before.
It's not even one to ten anymore.
Thank goodness you transferred Little Chen over to fill in.
No need to thank me. I'm the one who should be thanking you in regards to Little Chen.
Our profession is not looking good.
Right. About the lack of employees, I'll try to think of something.
Listen to me! You need to calm down right now!
Give me some time to smooth things over. Don't leave, okay?
Give me some time to fix things. I'll go find⁠— Amy! Stop her!
- I'll go talk to her. Give me some time. - What happened?
You first⁠— What use is it to fight with her?
It's already like this. Give me some time to help you, okay?
- When did you know that Little Lu was coming back? - What?
I asked when did you know that Lu was coming back.
- Actually, I⁠— - When you came to work today, you must've known. Right?
I know this girl.
- How do you want me to believe that you'll help me? - Which girl?
The one who feels like she's been wronged.
- Are we still friends? - You see my earring?
Originally, I lost one,
so I used the other one as a brooch and pinned it here.
I didn't think that this girl would figure it out.
Look at how rigorously she argues.
That's just what our line of work needs.
- Nevermind. - Li Xiao.
Go back to work then, I'm leaving.
All right, please take care.
As a receptionist for a publishing company,
you should be more careful with your actions and how you present yourself.
Got it, Professor Xu.
What happened just now?
That girl just now could have become a permanent employee,
but they changed people at the last minute.
It's your turn.
Your turn.
You used to be better!
Are you having trouble?
My dad once said, men who don't talk
aren't dumb. It's because they are having trouble.
Your dad's wisdom is the least reliable.
Is it because my dad wants you to get out?
One of the reasons.
My dad, too, is not giving you consideration at all.
I tried begging him on your behalf,
but he said this kind of issue can't be discussed.
You stepped on his career.
It's "trampled on."
Got it.
I already told him he could give me a little less pocket money.
But he didn't agree.
You brat, you've got a much better sense of loyalty than your father.
Of course.
[176 0046 9999]
Why don't you answer it?
Keep playing.
It's a prank call.
If you really think of us as buddies,
then tell me about it.
I may be able to help you.
Actually, it's a lot like renting a house.
I broke someone else's stuff.
It wasn't really my fault,
but I have to take responsibility for it.
Is it expensive?
It is more expensive than your house's rent.
Turns out that you are not happy because you are poor.
Isn't poverty the biggest problem for adults?
What does a little boy like you know?
Even though some people are materially poor,
but their spirit is wealthy.
Saying these things are useless.
Have you packed everything already?
Have you found a new house?
Found it.
Don't move out too far. I still want to play ball with you.
Okay.
[Come back with the rent or take your luggage and leave!]
The view isn't bad.
Are you on the run?
Just moving out.
If you still aren't full, keep eating.
Who gave you my address?
And my phone number? Was it Wu Yu?
I said it before.
Since you are in my publishing house, I would find you for sure.
You don't need to worry about the camera issue.
I will surely pay you.
I have some things tomorrow,
so the next day or these next few days...
You really won't consider the model thing?
If you accept it, we will leave the camera issue as it is.
If you really insist on paying for it, taking a few photos would be enough to buy the camera.
I don't like the model industry.
Eat while it's still hot. Don't let it get cold.
I will be waiting for you at Resa.
[My Family Noodle Shop]
Eldest Nephew.
Surprise!
This is the present that I and everyone else bought for you.
Open it up.
Quick, open it, open it.
Look, your favorite bag.
We decided to just bite the bullet and buy it for you.
We figured entering the company as a regular employee calls for it.
- Try it on. - You...
Thank you everyone.
I am a little bit tired. I'm going upstairs to rest a little.
- What happened? - I told you guys to not turn off the lights.
It was more scary than surprising.
You don't want to try it?
A long time ago,
I told myself
that on the day I become a fashion editor,
I would start using it.
But it has been so long.
And I still don't have the qualifications.
Today, I walked home.
Eight kilometers. Two hours.
Why did it only take me two hours to walk here,
but the road to Resa
has taken me so many years and I still haven't gotten there.
I know...
the road to fulfilling one's dreams won't be easy,
but this is too difficult.
Maybe I should just call it quits.
How many people can actually achieve their dreams?
At the end, don't they all force themselves to
happily accept reality?
Eldest Nephew,
I'll be graduating soon.
Do you think I should find some other career to do?
You don't need to worry.
The magazine will be recruiting people again next year. And you'll definitely be the first one to get in.
Eldest Nephew, although I outrank you in the family tree,
I've always considered you as my elder.
Thank you for always taking such good care of me.
I'm just doing what I ought to do.
But I want to go home now.
I don't want to wait around here.
I don't want to be freeloading here forever.
I want to go home.
I feel like I'll never be able to become a fashion editor.
Xiao Xiao, that won't happen.
You're so young.
You still have a long life ahead of you.
Just look at me. At this point, I even think opening a noodle restaurant is pretty good.
When I was younger, I even dreamed of becoming a star.
You? A star?
What of it?
Normally, even coaxing and pleading isn't enough to get you to come in.
What's up? Did you finish revising the manuscript?
Well... Didn't my book finally get confirmed for publication?
Then, can you give me my remuneration for it?
Are you actually a blockhead or do you just act like one?
You still haven't even turned in your final draft, yet you want to talk to me about remuneration?
I turned it in.
The one I gave you last time.
Don't start badgering me for the impossible, okay?
You first need to revise your manuscript based on the edits that myself,
the editor-in-charge, and chief editor have made.
Only then can we proceed with sending the manuscript for typesetting, then printing, and then plate making.
After that it has to undergo revision again for mechanical mistakes, format errors, and logical inconsistencies.
Once we reach the set final edition, then the book can be sent to the press for publication.
You haven't finished any of those processes yet, but you want to discuss your royalties?
Let me tell you even more.
Even after your book is published, the publisher still has the right to wait 6 months
before they will calculate your remuneration.
Did you understand all that?
Then, can I get paid 50% in advance?
How much do you want?
At least ¥15,000? (about $137 USD)
Have you ever thought about
how much money this book will make you in total?
For a book that's less than 150,000 words,
you're starting off your demands at ¥15,000?
We still do not have any idea
how much your first publication will see.
Then, can you just give me all of it in advance?
I can. Give me your final revised manuscript.
If it meets my requirements, we can talk about anything.
But revising the manuscript requires time.
Are you hard-pressed for cash?
[Footless Zhi]
Footless... Is it tasty?
Isn't a camera very expensive?
How can you two act like this!
Just say it. Will you pay me in advance or not?
Sure. Revise your manuscript.
I'll give you the money!
But we need to sign a contract.
You must agree to
seriously and rigorously revise your manuscript
so that it will meet 100% of my requirements.
Then, I will agree to pay you your author's remuneration
right this very second.
How's that sound?
I'm not signing it.
[Signature of Author]
25 seconds. You sure do run slow.
[Contract]
Go on and sign it.
- Transfer the money. - Sign it first.
Transfer the money first.
[¥$15,000]
[Lei Yang]
Do you enjoy playing around with me like this?
Does signing it like this hold any legal bearing?
Didn't I already tell you?
When I'm with you, my name is Lei Yang.
Fine, if that's how you want to play.
So... can I ask you something?
Do you live by yourself?
I do. What about it?
My home is over 100 square meters with 2 bedrooms and a living room.
The only drawback is that it's too spacious.
Why? You have an idea?
No idea. Just that it's a waste.
I'm telling you. If you keep this up, your book is never going to get published.
- If it weren't for me giving you special consideration⁠— - I already told you to stop bringing that up.
The book, you can publish it or not.
I'll pay you back.
What're you looking at?
If it hits the center,
I'll compensate.
If it misses, I'll flee.
Best 2 out of 3.
So we meet again, Ms. Coffee.
Yeah, what a coincidence!
Who'd have thought I'd run into you here!
I'm really sorry about the other day.
I was too out of sorts at the time.
Do you want to try the best 3 out of 5?
Could you let me play with those real quick?
Thank you.
But you need to set your stakes.
Set my stakes?
You have to make it clear what you're taking a gamble on.
- Is it accurate? - That depends on whether or not you believe in it.
If I hit the center,
I'll stay. If I miss,
I'll go home.
