Second Time is a Charm
Episode 50
Why are you so curious?
You're so curious that you cooperated with an outsider, right?
This pen
was given to me by my professor
when I was in college.
It has "lucky pen" carved on it.
It's magical.
Every time I take this pen with me,
I'll be lucky.
Here's the menu.
Thank you.
It's me. Come over.
Qiu Tian,
why do you dress like this?
I'm normally dressed.
Hello.
You're dressed
too normally.
Do you forget why we come?
Gather intelligence.
Nobody knows
you are the manager of coffee shop.
How do they know we're here to
gather intelligence?
Besides, the shop is open to everyone for business.
Everyone can see
their ideas on decoration
and menu items. Right?
Forget it.
What're you doing?
You're the manager of coffee shop.
What are
you thinking about?
Astrolabe and tarot.
Oh no.
I have to check
whether I can make a fortune this year.
You have checked for many times.
You can't make a fortune in your life.
Your life is ordinary, happy and steady.
I've memorized it.
You got the same result every time.
It's boring.
As I said,
people's destiny will change
with age and some accidents.
Congratulations.
You were two years older
when you checked your career
a few days ago.
Miss Susan,
do you have any accidents
in these two days?
Knock it off.
Do you know tarot divination?
It's really you.
What a coincidence!
You are the shop manager?
Yes.
You two know each other?
We met once.
Hello.
By the way, I didn't thank you for helping me last time.
Order whatever you like today.
It's my treat.
No need.
Thank you.
Well,
I would like this signature cheesecake.
Okay, no problem.
What about you?
It's the same.
What do you want to drink?
No, thank you.
Our coffee is good.
Do you want to try?
Yes. Thank you.
Two cups of coffee.
Thank you.
OK. I'll make them for you personally.
Wait a minute.
Why do you order everything?
Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle.
What are you doing?
I'm checking his astrolabe.
I wonder if this shop can be popular.
I bet fifty cents.
You must be checking your marriage.
Keep your voice down.
I'm not.
You know his WeChat account
and birthday.
But you said you met once?
What're you doing?
Well,
the last time we went to buy coffee machines,
his wallet was stolen.
He didn't bring his phone with him,
so I paid for him via WeChat.
Later he added my WeChat
and transferred the money to me.
It's normal to have his WeChat.
As for the date of birth,
now middle-aged men
like to use their birth dates
as WeChat IDs.
What's so strange?
You like him.
No.
Don't talk nonsense.
Nothing happened.
What's wrong?
Perfect match.
What're you waiting for?
Do something.
Baby, do something.
It's better this time.
But there is still
some distance from CNF,
let alone the picky brands.
Did you stay up last night?
It's a critical moment.
Don't you know
what's more important between work and play?
You make yourself so tired.
I didn't play late last night.
I went back very early.
It's just that I'm confused now.
I can't find the direction of creation.
You are
impetuous now.
Think about it.
What are the common points of
the really excellent works of the previous CNF?
They're all interesting?
In fact, those advantages
have appeared in your previous works.
It's just that you don't find them out.
They have appeared in my works?
The painting style of "The Daily Life of Wang Xiaobai"
is very simple,
but what the author wants to express
is clear at a glance.
"Pet Lovers" becomes popular because of its theme.
Only dream and delicious food are important.
It moves
and resonates with the readers.
So now I should use
the simplest and the clearest painting style
to draw the most moving theme for the readers.
Yes.
Well,
but what image is simple and clear?
And what theme can move the readers?
I have no idea.
Let me show you something.
What is this?
This is the intranet
open before the opening of each CNF exhibition.
I have heard of it.
It's open to brands only.
Briefly introduce the contestants
and initiate a vote,
so that the brands make preparations
before bidding.
That's it.
I asked a friend, who is a designer, to lend me
his account and password.
Look.
Whose work has the most votes at present?
Wang Lei.
Wang Lei always takes her solid basic skills and exquisite brushwork
as her winning magic weapon.
But
it's not your style.
Your style is clear,
making the readers clear at a glance
and very comfortable.
Your design and your ideas
are more important.
An An, you're a gifted contestant.
With your talent,
what are you afraid of?
At present, your level
is far from your highest level.
Take it easy.
You need to get rid of the inherent shackles
to see
a lot of things more clearly.
Get rid of the inherent shackles.
The authors of our "Extraordinary Comics"
are always
dependable
and reliable,
so give up
such girly and sexy dresses.
Mr. Yu, reply to me.
I'm worried about you.
Do you think these two are OK?
The message
we want to send to the brands this time is
our author is very young.
Of course, this has nothing to do with age.
I don't think
such an intellectual dress is suitable.
No.
Take a look.
I...
My God. It's so difficult.
Wang Lei.
Pick one. Which one do you like?
The pink one.
This one?
I think it's OK.
This one?
Don't you think it's too complicated?
If you wear it
to the exhibition of the opening ceremony of CNF,
you will look unsteady
in front of so many big brand designers.
I think it's OK.
If Mr. Yu were to pick,
he'd pick this one too.
And he must want me to
put on my favorite dress.
It will make me more confident.
OK. As you wish.
Try it on.
If it doesn't fit you, we'll pick another one.
Miss Wang, this way, please.
Well, just give it to me.
Lei,
why are you calling now?
What's the matter? Is it inconvenient to talk?
No.
I'm playing a game.
I have to leave as you call me.
I must be reported.
Have you found Yu Feifan?
Lei,
it's not that easy.
Besides, I,
I can't just do your thing every day.
I'm a man.
I have my things to do.
Your things?
Do you have something to hide from me?
No.
Well,
recently, I have been looking for a job
everywhere with my friends.
I can't always ask you for money
to support me, right?
I, I have to keep up with you.
Linsu,
now the most important thing is to find Yu Feifan.
Well, Lei,
is Yu Feifan really so important to you?
Didn't I tell you before?
Don't you know
why Yu Feifan is so important to me?
Linsu, do you doubt me?
No. Lei,
how can I doubt your feelings for me?
Well,
I'll find him for you.
Come on.
What have you got?
Linsu,
we have got jewelry and cash.
Yes. Look.
I also found two old laptops.
Good. Sesame is also food.
Old laptops can also be exchanged for money.
Let's go.
Wait.
Hurry up.
Wait.
Hurry up.
I haven't got on yet.
Drink.
Again?
Drink.
OK.
What's going on?
Open it. It's yours.
Open it for him.
Well,
you asked me to hurry here
to drink with you?
An An
is busy with the CNF,
or I wouldn't ask you here.
What do
you mean?
I'm a lawyer.
I'm busy, OK?
I have a temper, too.
One.
Two.
Don't embarrass me.
I'll give you a mission.
What mission?
She is lovelorn.
Have a good drink with her.
Can you take me home if I drink too much?
An An,
have you seen Susan lovelorn?
No.
You saw it?
We didn't really care about Susan before.
We know nothing about her.
What's the matter, Qiu Tian?
You're being weird.
Is something wrong with Susan?
No.
You missed
a good play.
Well.
Prefect match.
What are you waiting for?
Come on.
It's been a long time.
Why haven't you found him yet?
He's a man. He must be all right.
You keep calling me
just for this?
I'm jealous.
Linsu,
stop kidding me.
I want to meet him for my work.
You know, I'm going to attend the CNF,
so I have to find him.
OK.
You're my girlfriend.
I'll make some inquiries.
Linsu, I can only
rely on you now,
so you have to help me.
Lei,
you can't just say thank you.
I have given you my contribution last month.
I don't mean that.
I am a man with a career now.
I can't always spend your money.
Well,
have dinner with me.
OK. I'll go.
But you need to help me find Mr. Yu.
I see.
I have to go.
Pay attention to the structure
when writing this character.
Doudou.
Uncle Xu Lang.
I come to do handwork with Guoguo.
Come in.
Doudou. Quick.
Good.
I'll get you a mat.
They happen to be in the same group.
Thank you.
I'll pick him up later.
You...
Thank you.
I'll make a dog.
I'll make a rose.
- I'll get some fruit. - I'll go.
Let me go.
I know where it is.
There are peaches in the refrigerator.
Let me help you.
Is there enough fruit?
If it's not enough, I'll go out and buy some more.
I'm leaving.
Do you want to apologize to me?
I really went too far that day.
Sorry.
The problem is not what you said that day.
It is that you told truth.
An An.
I have thought for a long time.
Maybe your distrust of me
is justifiable.
Anyone who experiences something like you
has the right to
lock himself in his own world,
cover his mouth, hide his experience,
cover his ears and don't listen to anyone.
It's OK that
you need time and space
and don't accept anyone's help.
As long as it makes you feel better,
I can accept it.
But?
But my curiosity about you
is the same as
your distrust of me.
It's justifiable.
I want to know you better.
Although I haven't experienced anything like you,
you also can't understand
my mood
by your side.
How I wish
you could come out of your world soon,
speak out your pain without reservation
and listen to others.
How I wish time could be faster.
I hope I can be your comrade in arms.
I hope I can help you.
Maybe you don't want to listen
the most important words,
but I still have to say.
Hiding the truth from Xu Guo will be your biggest mistake.
You can't help me.
No one can help me.
I made an irreparable mistake.
This is a fact that will never change.
Why do you want to change the past?
Is your heart so old that you can only see the past
and can't see the future?
I don't want to compare anything,
because my life is not smooth.
But because of me,
Guoguo can't live happily with
her parents
like other kids.
No.
Because of me,
Guoguo is not like other orphans
who lose their parents.
She gets love
and even more love.
And she will get more in the future.
You're too young to understand.
I don't understand,
but I know there is nothing
more important than freedom and happiness.
What is your slogan?
What?
Slogan.
What is your slogan?
Give Guoguo the best and the happiest life.
Then don't hide the truth from her.
If in the end
she doesn't know the truth from your mouth
but from other sources,
she won't have a happy life.
Guoguo will understand my good intentions.
Xu Lang,
life is really short.
If the first time is bad
and there's no way to change,
then give up.
Forget everything
and seize the second chance.
Every problem is a mistake.
Obviously you won't
answer me again.
It turns out that my pure care
is the most ridiculous stubbornness.
Every answer is not clear.
Where did I lose myself?
Tell me, you've loved all the time.
I am also looking for her.
Tell her the second time of love is looking for her, too.
You are here.
What are you doing? I'm not an old lady.
Slow down.
Why am I so dizzy?
That's not strange.
You slept two days and two nights without eating.
So long.
No wonder I'm so hungry.
There is food.
Sit down. I will get it for you.
It's tasty.
Eat slowly if it's delicious.
Take it easy. It's all yours.
You can help me order some steamed buns,
noodles served with lobster soup and Doll instant noodles.
Anyway, anything will do.
Order whatever is delivered soon.
Fine. I'll order you two fried eggs.
Eat slowly.
Why didn't I think
this dessert was delicious before?
Eat more if you like it.
Well, you slept for such a long time.
I really worried about you.
So I asked the doctor to come and see you.
Not bad.
Nothing serious.
But I worried that
you might feel bad after waking up.
So I didn't leave.
I don't know what to do.
What happened?
Can you tell me about it?
Do you know
what I wanted to be?
I used to wish
I could help more people.
I mean it.
Especially those like my mom,
who devote their whole life to love and marriage
and are finally abandoned.
So I studied the law and became a lawyer.
I don't know when
I became a money making machine.
I can't see a lot of the simplest things clearly.
I've lost the most precious things
and always made things worse.
Don't think about it. Don't worry.
Everything will be gone.
No way.
Never.
Xu Lang will never forgive me.
I guess you had a showdown with Xu Lang
on Halloween, right?
Then you can guess
how much Xu Lang suffered
due to me.
I don't want to guess. I don't want to know.
Your past doesn't matter to me.
What matters is you now.
I hope your future is better than now.
Don't lecture me.
You're wordy.
OK. Take a good rest.
I've ordered your meal.
It's expected to arrive soon.
By the way,
the doctor came to see you and said you was fine,
but he prescribed some medicine.
As for the usage,
I wrote on it for you.
Remember to take your medicine on time.
I'm leaving.
Don't put on this kind of idol drama,
in which the hero is selfless and unrequited
and turns away, OK?
I'm not a little girl who hasn't met the world.
Don't leave.
What is this?
Mr. Yu's case?
Yeah.
Mr. Yu is very stubborn.
He resolutely refuses to let power
and has made the directors angry.
They're going to sue him.
Is it so serious?
Why? You want to help Mr. Yu?
I'm not helping him. I'm helping you.
Well,
I don't know why
you're helping this old man.
But it doesn't matter. I don't mind.
Tell me
how this case is going on.
Here's the case.
Lawyer Lei
has helped me find a mandatory lawyer.
There's a breakthrough.
A lawyer introduced by Lei Yuhao?
Then you should feel relieved.
The key is Yu Feifan.
He really shouldn't have announced his separation
from Yu Desheng at this time.
You have to find a way
to minimize public opinion.
Indeed.
I can't find my brother now.
He now arranges his work
in the form of e-mail.
Anyway, if I can't find him,
I'll make a public appeal for him.
Let me help you.
What are you looking at?
No, no, I'm reading the papers.
Get me dessert.
OK.
What are you doing?
Fine. Fine. Enjoy it yourself.
Don't look at it. Read it later.
Read it after eating.
You need to rest now.
I really don't want you
to worry about it.
This is my business,
OK?
You should have a good rest now.
You're so weak.
Be quick. Eat.
Eat.
You are reluctant to eat it?
Wang Lei.
Is Mr. Yu back?
No.
Come on,
why are you here?
What?
I want to see if Mr. Yu is back.
Mr. Yu didn't come back.
Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wang are inside.
Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wang?
You forgot?
Mr. Yu sold a best seller "Good Weather"
to the film and television company.
Do you remember?
Yes, I do.
Mr. Yu
has been haunted by negative news recently.
This project "Good Weather"
has reached a deadlock.
But don't ruin the project "Good Weather"
because of this.
Mr. Yu is going to lose money.
Moreover, let me tell you,
Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wang had harsh words.
Today, they insist that Mr. Yu
must receive them in person.
Otherwise, they will not show any mercy,
and Mr. Yu will pay as much as he should.
Then get Mr. Yu back.
Where can I find him?
No. No.
How about that?
I must find my boss's ex.
An An?
How does she know?
There is no way.
What if it works?
I'll try anything possible.
And
you must not go in.
When you two talked about "Good Weather,"
you were Mr. Yu's assistant.
They met you.
If they find you here later,
you can't run away either.
I will go ahead with my stuff.
Dawang, how is it?
This...
How is it?
OK.
Great.
In fact, the last version is OK.
I just want to force you
to make another version.
You can do better.
In this case,
we can make another better one.
It is in the most urgent situation.
Don't give me that.
No hurry.
You have time.
Your deadline is on the day of the exhibition.
But isn't it good to hand it in earlier?
I can get feedback from the other party earlier.
Maybe it can go to the internal official website
and participate in a round of online voting.
Good things can only be given at the last minute.
This time
don't give anyone a chance
to get in the way.
At the last moment,
when you are most sure,
give your results to the right person.
This is more important than your work.
Don't forget your former lesson.
Your every failure
has nothing to do with your ability.
Here.
This way, please
Here you are.
Excuse me. We're here to take a look at the house.
It's just this space that
I changed into a studio.
It's been used for several years.
There is also a tea room
and an office inside.
OK, let's take a look.
Come on, this way.
The environment here
is still very clean.
I think it's very suitable for you
to work here.
Including large floating windows here,
the environment
is very good.
I think the view is very beautiful.
It's good for your office.
This is the environment here.
Let's take a look at the design.
Let me show you inside.
OK.
An.
An, I finally found you.
What's up?
My boss is missing.
I know that.
There's something urgent right now.
I have to find him right away.
Don't change the quality of the picture.
All the lights are like this.
Otherwise, it will not be very good
if the image quality will change later.
Adjust the light again.
OK. Thank you.
Ms. Qiu, we can get back to the hotel.
Has An An's work been delivered?
I'll confirm later.
You can rest assured.
An An will not let you down.
You always say something comforting.
Young people are good.
Every day, they call for opportunities
to the world.
But when the real opportunity is coming,
are they able to seize it?
Ms. Qiu,
you may have a little prejudice
against us young people.
Really?
Look,
we are now in a state of caution
in front of opportunities.
That's how it should be.
I came to you for a job
when I graduated two years ago.
I was very happy to be chosen by you,
but I was afraid that
I was not good enough.
I don't know if you can understand this feeling,
but it's a way for us young people
to work hard.
Enough.
You're naive.
Hey.
It's enough.
Go back and clean up the mess.
I think it's better for me
to disappear for a while.
The earth still rotates without anyone.
True.
The earth still rotates without you.
But Extraordinary Studio is in a mess
without you.
I don't think
that matters to me anymore.
Actually,
Yu Desheng and I are not the same kind of people.
You should go back
because you are not the same as him.
You should take good care of your studio,
your authors,
your hard-earned prestige
in the industry,
and your family,
including Doudou,
your dad
and me.
He doesn't need my care.
He needs it.
He needs it very much,
especially now.
You're his only son.
You have to forgive him
and help him through this difficulty.
Do you think he will need my care?
I went to the hospital to see your dad.
Did he give you a dirty look again?
Not at all.
He was very kind to me.
He even said that Doudou and I should visit him often.
You mean people like Yu Desheng
will change, too?
Yes.
You said before that he would not accept your help.
Why not?
Is it because
you once said on Weibo that
you would break the relationship with him?
You think the chairman of Yu's Group
will really take this matter to heart?
You look down on your dad too much.
What's wrong with you?
Why did you suddenly speak for him?
Am I helping him?
I'm helping you.
Believe me,
as long as you take the right step, you'll get everything right.
You have to go back
and do what you have to do.
I don't want to go back. I am too tired.
If you don't know what to do,
just think about what's wrong.
It doesn't matter if you're tired.
Lie down and have a good rest.
Don't think about anything until you recover.
Don't forget,
you are Yu Doudou's superman.
He would be disappointed
to see you like this.
An An,
I find I made a lot of wrong decisions.
You've done a lot of right things.
Otherwise,
how could I find you in the first place?
That's a good reason.
Well, what do you think
I should start with?
Start by washing your face and shaving.
Good. Good.
Let's go.
We always think it's good and great
to love others as much as we can.
But we forget that
we should learn to love ourselves
before we love others.
An An, your lollipop.
Why is my lollipop smaller than yours?
Didn't you say that
we should love ourselves before we love others?
This guy must be jealous again.
