Yesterday, did you take me home?
Thank you.
But, what I said yesterday
didn't refer to you personally.
It's okay.
Xiao Qiu. Later on, you should drink less.
Your stomach is not well, drinking alcohol will harm your health.
Jing Wen told me that GMF requires a translator.
Right. She doesn't want to go.
Therefore, I'm finding another.
Can I do it?
What's wrong? Are you bored of Jiu Tong?
If she doesn't want,
only I can go,
it'll be better if I volunteer to do it.
Moreover, I need money now.
Are you sure you can adjust your own emotion
to return home in triumph?
Alright. Looks like you need the different environment
to refresh yourself.
In our GMF,
there are 136 architects in total,
plus, 90% of them are men,
this floor is mainly our workstation.
There are five design rooms.
Some departments that have the potential of collaboration.
For example, the personnel department,
the administrative department, the post-production department,
and a canteen, too.
Canteen?
Just kidding, how can there be a canteen here?
Even though we don't have one,
there is still a dining room, an entertainment room, and a tea room
there are enough places for employees to rest.
What about a translation room?
The translation room?
Both the translation room and canteen are deleted.
Just kidding.
The translation department is now integrated into the administrative one.
Our company has only one official translator.
Her name is Emma, she's in charge of translating
documents in German and French.
She went to a meeting, so you can meet her in the afternoon.
There is only one translator in such a big company?
We have you now.
Me?
Just kidding.
Jiu Tong is here, too. All the important documents of our company,
especially contracts, blueprints, design instructions,...
must be in English, French, and German,
then submit copies to the headquarters to set up a profile.
Can you handle all of them?
I... alone?
Just kidding.
Jiu Tong is responsible for those.
Your main task is to send
important documents from the headquarters to other departments,
send emails, take notes during conferences,
and translation work such as translating industry newsletters.
If it's English,
translate it into Chinese and forward it.
If it's Chinese...
Hey! Do you understand Chinese?
Ch...Chinese?
Kidding! Of course, you do.
Although what you usually say is pretty ordinary.
Come on, let's see what's next.
Upstairs is the chief executive officer's office.
Chief engineer's workplace, the finance department, and the archive department.
The chief executive officer of our affiliate in Shanghai
is Mr. Wang Ji Chuan.
You're mainly responsible for translating his work.
and concurrently, working as his secretary.
It's PA, the personal assistant.
Come on, look over here.
This office
is where Mr. Wang Li Chuan used to fight.
Wang Li Chuan is Wang Ji Chuan's brother.
He's also our chief executive officer.
Mr. Wang Li Chuan is a legend in architecture.
Not only is he outstandingly talented,
but he's also modest.
After he was gone, we were very sad.
Everyone misses him so much.
We keep everything intact.
We conserve his office.
The pen he used is still here.
Sorry, I'm a bit impolite.
You said "gone"?
You mean he passed away?
Passed away? Are you kidding me?
He didn't pass away, he's in Zurich.
He came back to the headquarter.
Director Wang is in a meeting now.
In the afternoon, after he comes back,
I'll introduce him to you.
Just get accustomed to your workplace first.
Greet everyone.
Just call me if you ever need anything.
Pass away? What kind of joke is this?
Hello.
You are Xie Xiao Qiu?
You remember me?
Did chief Xiao meet you?
Chief Xiao?
I heard that, to chase after you,
he came to your house.
No, he just passed by on his way.
Passed by? You believe this?
Do you know why until now
I'm still single?
Because I tried to seduce
every boss here.
However, up till now, I've never been successful.
You're truly Cinderella.
I'm just kidding you, but you took it seriously.
You see, he even chased after you here as soon as you came.
I think,
you're soon becoming his captive.
Annie, Annie.
This bag is so delicate.
It's my friend's present.
Boyfriend?
Ex-boyfriend.
This boyfriend surely makes a lot of money.
My sister also liked this one 4 years ago
but it was too expensive, so she couldn't bring herself to buy it.
Coupling with your jeans, it'll look like mine.
Fashionable, but simple.
It may not genuine.
If I can't distinguish between fake and real products,
how can I work for a foreign enterprise?
Don't be shy.
The sisters in the personnel department
said that you are Xiao Guan's new girlfriend.
Is it true?
Chief.
Hello.
I'm gonna let you two talk.
Amanda! Talk to her.
Director Zhang and I talked.
So I came by. How are you?
Is your first day of work okay?
Yes. It's quite good.
I feel more comfortable than in Jiu Tong.
I don't think so.
Just wait till the bids start,
you'll have a lot of interpreting tasks.
Recently, they're busy with the contract in Wenzhou.
You'll be like that right away.
By the way, on the street ahead,
there is quite good a Yunnan restaurant.
It's said that the Chinese vermicelli here is delicious.
You're from Yunnan, so I bet that you like vermicelli, right?
How do you think? Wanna try once?
I'll buy.
It's not necessary.
I feel a bit tired and sick today.
Alright, maybe next time.
Take care of yourself, I'm leaving.
Okay, goodbye.
- Bye bye. | -Bye.
I assumed that you always
fight a hundred battles, win all those hundred.
Surprisingly, there is a time when a serial monogamist fails.
Annie!
What's wrong with you?
Why did you refuse Xiao Guan?
I'm not his girlfriend.
If I have a meal with him,
there is more likely to be a misunderstanding.
If that's how it is,
fragrant flowers shouldn't be offered to outsiders,
why don't you introduce him to me?
You see, I don't have such abilities as Emma...
What's about my ability?
Can you clarify it for me?
I mean, you see,
you know that many languages,
your scope to find a boyfriend
will probably broader than mine.
If you aren't interested in the domestic,
you are still able to get access to the imported.
And you can have as many as you want.
- Is it right, Annie? | - What do you mean by
I can have as many as I want?
Oh, it's not wrong.
Plus, I've been working here for so many years,
but I am still a receptionist.
Obviously, my name's Tracy, but I'm called Hellen.
After all, my life can just end up like this.
If I can find a man that is a little economically better,
I will feel a sense of fulfillment.
Hellen, don't think that way.
In this life,
No one else can define you
except for you yourself, Tracy.
What did she mean?
Did I meet you somewhere?
I used to be your seasonal interpreter.
Unacceptable.
Remember?
You were the one threw a chicken egg on my car, weren't you?
Your English name needs replacing.
All of my personal assistants are called Sophie.
Personal assistants are often replaced, but their names are never.
Why?
Because I don't want to put effort into
memorizing that many names.
Unless you have something exceptional.
But memorizing employees' names
show your respect to them.
I'm Annie, and I'm very happy to work for you.
Later, I have a meeting,
no time to go downstairs, so buy lunch for me.
Buy lunch for you?
My job should be translating.
Hello?
Director Tang, hello.
OK, OK.
I'll jot it down now, wait a bit.
Black pepper beef fillet,
I don't know if it suits your taste.
Sushi.
This is the sushi you ordered.
Right, fix me a cup of orange juice.
Freshly squeezed, no flesh.
Excuse me, I don't know how to use the orange squeezers.
Then, learn.
By the way, help me translate these documents,
submit to me the day after tomorrow.
That many, I'm certainly not able to finish them in time.
Sophie ah, you're working under a well-known design engineer
in this Europe,
not everyone has such an opportunity.
You have dormant abilities, then bring them into play.
These documents, before 6 o'clock the day after tomorrow, must be handed to me.
Why are you standing there? Leave.
Go go go.
My name is Annie.
Annie.
Take this.
What's this?
This is fifteen thousand yuan I borrowed you before.
Now I will give you thirty thousand yuan. Both capital and interest.
Are you not losing?
No need. We already agreed before,
it was a replacement.
No. I'm so sorry.
In the past, due to the straitened economic circumstance,
I put forward this worse course of action.
But I knew,
your parents went away.
Your life must be a bit difficult, right?
No matter what, you have to take this.
I'm telling you,
you mustn't tell Xiao Guan about this.
Then, you have to keep mine secret.
Hello?
Sophie, I've sent you a copy of the document,
to your mailbox, help me translate it.
Send it to me one hour later.
Director Wang.
Where are you? America?
I'm in Shanghai.
Listen, the area of focus is on the second page,
you have to translate all the details of clauses,
The translation must be 100% accurate.
Director Wang, chief...
My name is Annie.
Mr. Wang, this is the document you sent me last night,
I translated a half,
I will hand you the rest this morning.
I need it today, so give it to me before you get off work.
I didn't sleep the whole night,
I'm worried about the quality of translation.
I haven't slept for three days,
and this is the quality of my work.
I'm telling you,
My money doesn't fall from the sky.
These things are important to me.
If you dare waste my time,
I'll dig a hole here and bury you in!
Are you clear, Sophie?
My name is Annie.
Alright, then prove to me
what makes you different from the other Sophie.
Annie, Annie.
Come here.
I have advice for you.
Make-up at work.
No. As director Wang's personal assistant,
you ought to be at least 10 minutes earlier than him.
But the working time starts at 9 o'clock.
He's here at 7.
Sometimes, at 6:30.
He looks like a cynical person,
but he is unexpectedly a workaholic.
Maybe all Swiss men are like this.
When his brother was here, he started working at 7.
Yet, he's much more forgiving than him.
Once I sprained my hand,
he poured me a cup of coffee himself.
The dynasties changed.
Tell me, they all
crawled out of a mother's womb,
one is like an angel, one is not different than a devil.
Sometimes, we joked that
on the day the younger brother was born,
their father's DNA was "on a vacation".
So, will the younger brother come here again?
Who knows?
There are several movements of the headquarter and branches.
Nobody undertakes only one working position
for over three years.
He's surely in the headquarter.
Yet, we can normally see his emails
in the mailbox.
I saw none.
His English name is Alex.
Alex Wang.
Hello?
Annie, I'm Zhang Ying the receptionist,
there is a cocktail party at 10 o'clock.
Director Wang told you to come with him.
Alright, I got it, thanks.
The laureates, go to the stage, please.
Mr. Wang, where do I dress inappropriately?
No, these shoes suit you.
Xiao Guan has quite good taste.
You misunderstood, Xiao Guan and I...
There's no need to explain anything, everyone knew it.
Director Wang, you won a prize.
What is the prize?
A smartphone, the latest model.
It's for you. I don't need it.
Thank you, director. It's unnecessary. I have a phone.
What era are you in? It's outdated.
A minute ago, I commended you on your stylishness,
now, just because of a phone, you lost all the points.
Here. Take it.
This phone is a present from a friend of mine.
It has a special use, look.
Fighting!
In the past, I had a fear of blood,
when I saw something red, I would feel dizzy.
Then, he presented me with this red phone
so that every time I phone, I can see it,
before long, I could adjust to it.
Today, when encountering red substances
I still feel a bit uncomfortable.
Annie! Annie!
Annie!
Annie! I drank the fourth.
Annie! Annie!
Enough.
You're my interpreter.
I sincerely object to hearing you speaking English with a lisp.
Just now, did you call me Annie?
Aren't you always calling all the interpreters
Sophie?
Because you... you kept correcting me... I,
I feel very annoyed.
Therefore it's said people shouldn't drink alcohol during work.
Right! That sciagraphy is drawn by Janet,
so is the landscape.
Yes! Grandpa doesn't give me much work.
Didn't you say that you wanted to come to Shanghai?
I knew that you always feel homesick for Shanghai.
Anyway,
this place was where you spent the longest time working.
You can bring me back to Shanghai?
No!
By the way, I took some picture during work
about the meetings of colleagues,
and recent projects.
I'm helping you send them there.
Take a look what your former colleagues
are doing recently.
They're still working for GMF?
You didn't fire them,
or they didn't resign themselves?
It's just a minor department.
The majority of them are here. Plus,
I supplemented some more human resources.
I must stop now, I have a meeting now.
Bye bye!
Bye!
Annie Xie?
Who's that?
Sorry, wrong number.
Jing Wen ah!
Xiao Qiu. Did you add the new one?
During working time, I don't dare to write.
Hurry up and add. I'm waiting.
How are you? Are you very at ease there?
I'm telling you, if it isn't because of Wang Ji Chuan,
I will never give up this opportunity.
Did you add?
I already wrote 5000 words, I'll add later.
I think the plot is quite good,
but the rate shows no sign of increase.
Yesterday, there were only over 100 in total,
more than the half was my dedication.
I'm a newbie.
I have an idea.
Do you know why Korean dramas are popular?
Because Korean dramas have effective means,
traffic accidents, cancer, no treatment.
So it's said, you wrote too practically.
You must write it a bit more tragic.
How?
Write that he has cancer.
Frequently coughing up blood.
I like this genre.
Why do I have to curse someone like that?
Plus, what I am writing is already too much.
Tell me if I am too cruel to him?
No way. First.
Li Chuan's company and the city are undisclosed,
there is no way anybody realizes him.
Second, architects are always busy.
They can't spend time reading novels on the Internet.
Later, I'll fix a bit.
I'm waiting.
Don't, if Xiao Guan catches you,
what will you do?
When I post it, I will inform you.
I'm not afraid.
I must take the sofa. I must write a review.
Now I'm the biggest fan of yours.
I'm convinced. Don't
What can you understand? This is called a smart cure.
You write Li Chuan dies. You're still alive.
It means the same as Phoenix from the ashes.
If Li Chuan discovers it, he'll kill me.
Oh, please. Nobody cares if you live or die,
why are they concerned with those things?
Alright, alright. Fix it quickly.
I'm waiting.
Okay, okay. I have to work first.
I must stop now. Bye bye.
I hope so much.
Li Chuan is a character in my story.
I can write what I want.
After that, I'll create
the most perfect ending for him and me.
Of course, I just make it up.
But, Li Chuan in this story can make me
little by little, forget Li Chuan of reality.
The grief I described page by page
is gradually fading away.
And the love I recalled page by page
is becoming vapid.
I have a feeling that Li Chuan in the story
is becoming true in my mind,
and getting closer.
And conversely, Li Chuan of reality is becoming vaguer,
and getting smaller and smaller.
Finally, all end at a point, which is much far away from me.
After all those sleepless nights,
I eventually came up with a way
which is to turn my love to a story,
replace my agonies with the pastime.
Li Chuan. Don't tell me that a love like this
isn't worth fighting for.
Separation in life and parting in death can open some gaps.
Don't tell me that
all of my concern is just in vain.
I love you...
It's the start of this story,
and also, the end.
Xiao Qiu silently stands in front of Li Chuan's grave,
and put there a bouquet of lilies.
Drizzle and breeze, leaves in the fall.
Xiao Qiu!
The last paragraph left me such a surge of emotions,
Your writing is wonderful. It's truly my favorite.
- Bye bye. | - You stood in front of Li Chuan's grave.
- That's part. | - Goodbye!
Recalled your beautiful life.
Then you put there a bouquet of lilies,
and determinedly began a new life.
Xiao Qiu. I'm running out of tissues.
How touching!
The number of views has reached tens of thousands.
Do you feel that what we wrote is a bit much?
Is there the next sequel?
No more, I do want to delete this.
Don't do it. It was on the top of the leader board.
I'm hanging up. Shift's over.
Let's talk next time. Bye bye!
Xiao Qiu.
Why so free to be here?
I just finished talking with director Wang.
GMF is gonna have a big project.
It's to open Maple Riviera resort.
I'm trying to achieve the advertising campaign
for Jiu Tong.
That's good.
If successful,
this will be the largest amount of money
Jiu Tong can earn in its history.
Have you finished work yet?
I'll invite you to a meal, then take you home.
If I let you buy me a meal, it'll be a waste of money.
Just regard it as your respect for me.
Xiao Qiu. I actually regret having transferred you away.
It's like I provided you with a place
where you can hide from me.
Is it right?
How can this be?
Then, convince me by having a meal with me.
Okay, chief Xiao.
Moreover, don't call me chief.
Call me Xiao Guan instead.
Let's go.
Why do you keep staring at me?
Xiao Qiu. You're living alone in this life,
so you may need a companion.
If you're drunk, who can take care of you?
If some rogues take advantage of it,
it'll be more troublesome.
You... you don't have a boyfriend, right?
Yes, chief.
I heard that Emma is your girlfriend.
Emma is really beautiful.
Xie Xiao Qiu. You're avoiding me on purpose, aren't you?
Xiao Qiu. Please, stop running away.
Xiao Qiu. From now on,
I'll make you inseparable from me.
I'm sorry, in matters of love,
I'm just a loser.
Xiao Qiu. Either he doesn't love you,
or he can't love you.
But I fell in love with you, and I can love you.
Xiao Qiu. In matters of romance,
it's neither about waiting silently,
nor praying actively.
In the dictionary of love,
the word "pray" means "useless".
We should be so
unfeigned to arise feelings.
Xiao Qiu. I will put your heart
inside mine.
Excuse me. Mr. Driver.
Could you please pull over? I want to get off.
Xiao Qiu.
Xiao Qiu. Listen to me.
Xiao Qiu. Xiao Qiu.
I'm terribly sorry.
I'm sorry. I need to be in quiet and solitude.
But...
Alright. Then...
Then I'm leaving.
My bag!
I actually regret having transferred you away.
It's like I provided you with a place
where you can hide from me.
Xiao Qiu. From now on,
I will make you inseparable from me.
Li Chuan, I think I can't bear it anymore. Xiao Qiu.
As soon as the last project ended, the new one came.
Good job.
Kids like you have character.
This is just the blueprint.
Allow me to take over this project, please.
Besides, these apartment complexes
is my strength.
Grandpa. Where is my passport?
I put it away, where do you want to go?
I have my freedom to go anywhere.
Give my passport back to me.
I'm telling you, you ain't going anywhere.
That's the doctor's direction.
Then I'll report that I lost my passport, I'll get it renewed in three days.
How dare you say that?
Wang Li Chuan!
You...
Talk to him.
Why were you angry with grandpa?
If you really want to go,
I knew where your passport is.
I can help you persuade grandpa.
He will listen to you?
It's of use sometimes.
Let me try.
Where do you want to go?
Shanghai.
Shanghai?
What for?
If you fancy meeting Ji Chuan,
he can pay you a visit.
I'll find a way myself.
You don't need to worry about it.
Now is cities' construction news.
Wenzhou New City is named as the landmark
within the first project of Qinglian Villa.
Qinglian movie theater and a garden hotel with a Zi Ying lake.
There has been a relaunch of the tenders recently.
The project covers an area of 1,200 acres.
The total investment is about 3 billion yuan.
It was divided into 3 periods of construction.
It is said that 4 years ago this project
called upon contractors.
However, due to the shortage of funds,
the call for tenders is launched again.
Apparently, the department of building management
of the city's government pays particular regard to this.
Today, the chief of bidding politics,
Mr. Xie He Yang,
joined the discussion of experts.
Let's look at the detailed reports together.
Qinglian resort's project launching the call for tenders
was published.
What?
Look, isn't it our design?
Yes, yes. Look.
This is the 3D picture made by director Zhang.
In the meeting, we discussed it.
Yes.
So strange!
Our backup plan has passed.
The deadline hasn't approached, the drawings haven't been handed in yet.
Why could it appear in the newspaper?
This isn't a joke.
- This is a serious leak. | - Right.
I must find Mr. Zhang.
Right.
Go now, quickly.
Excuse me, what are you doing? I'm still using it.
Director Zhang requested the technical department
to check the computers of all employees.
When finishing, we will give it back to you.
Thank you for your kind cooperation.
It's over. I'm gonna die.
Li Chuan's past" I wrote...
About information leak in Shanghai,
this is the detailed report of Zhang Shao Hua.
Everything is disclosed.
What's the use of explaining that much?
It's time-consuming.
Did Ji Chuan know this?
Yes, he did.
As Zhang Shao Hua had the huge dedication to GMF
just respect him, let him resign himself.
Moreover, he is the one you personally recommended
so I want to notify you.
Senselessly.
Why did you let him resign at present?
All the projects were designed by him.
Only he's the most familiar with them.
Now you told him to resign.
Doesn't it mean you are throwing all these projects to Jia Yuan?
In fact, he wasn't the creator of this project.
Then who? If it isn't him, then who will be?
In terms of this project, 4 years ago, there was already a launch of tenders.
At that time, it was drawn by Li Chuan.
Because of the funding issues, it was canceled.
Now, after the relaunch,
Li Chuan's drawing is still used.
There was only some re-modified.
As Lisa said no matter what, she had to give everything Li Chuan's name
Li Chuan was still the last reviser.
Ji Chuan's idea is
to let Zhang Shao Hua resign, then Li Chuan can take over it.
Lisa? Why did a Lisa come out of nowhere?
Is this Fang Shi group
engaged in Ozhou project?
Truly, Fang Shi participated in all the major state-owned projects
But they didn't invest much,
so they didn't get to decide anything.
In terms of our current strength
who have the greatest chance of success are our GMF
and International Jia Yuan.
Fang Shi group is the most major competitor
in the southeast area of Jia Yuan.
These two families have a long history of grievances, they went to court before.
No wonder Lisa hopes
Our GMF can win the bid.
Because Lisa can make use of our group.
Lisa. She has that enormous capacity.
Unless she achieves her objective, she won't give up.
However, concerning such a big state-owned project,
the supervisory process will be extremely strict.
The judges of this time
are still kept in secret until now.
I heard that they will be randomly selected from the database of experts.
Therefore, if there is a chance,
Tian Xiao Gang is from Wenzhou,
he's well-connected there.
Before the exact evidence is found,
don't guess the troublemakers
are from Jia Yuan.
Jia Yuan is an international company in the city.
Suppose it was their scheme,
if it was exposed to the media,
wouldn't they be afraid of the fall in stock price?
Grandpa, but...
I know this project is at risk,
but Li Chuan mustn't take over it.
Why did Ji Chuan think that way?
How could he ignore what I said?
If there are any losses in Shanghai,
it'll be just a matter of one project.
But if Li Chuan goes there,
what should he do when he gets sick?
Actually, Wenzhou isn't a small city.
The medical equipment there is quite good.
Plus,
I can see Li Chuan is in a bad mood these days.
There are many projects you didn't allow him to take part in,
you even didn't permit him to go out for relaxation.
I fear that if he keeps feeling suffocated,
he will suffer from clinical depression.
Tell Zhang Shao Hua, as soon as possible,
prepare a new plan and send it to him.
Tell Li Chuan about it, so he can give it a try.
Let them communicate over their phones.
They can also have a conference on the phone, too.
Send him a copy of the document of the first period of Qinglian.
Let him see
if he can issue any solutions.
Remote interpretation.
Li Chuan visited the building site of this project before,
but it was 4 years ago.
Now, many factories have been built,
so have residential areas.
Every building site is re-surveyed.
Shao Hua hopes that we'll quickly send
a professional there.
Li Chuan is the most suitable choice.
Why must it be Li Chuan?
Why can't Zhang Shao Hua handle it?
Zhang Shao Hua entered Tsinghua at the age of fifteen.
He used to be the top student in Architecture.
He is the one I did everything to make him work for Tsinghua.
Now he is the vice director in Shanghai,
then just let him do it!
Don't get Li Chuan into everything.
Li Chuan. Li Chuan.
Grandpa. Please help me.
Or I can go with Li Chuan.
I had studied medical science for one year before,
then I even helped my father at his clinic.
So when Li Chuan is drawing,
I can give him a hand.
Please rest assured, grandpa.
I'll look after him for you.
I promise not to let him tire, alright?
