Mr. Zhang, are we there yet?
Almost.
Thank you.
Thank you for taking a detour to give me a ride.
When are you starting at the new company?
The day after tomorrow.
- And you...
- Oh, right!
I have a gift for you.
Yun Shu.
Can you move back in?
Zhiyi,
should I move back in?
As if you don't know the answer.
What's that?
To fulfill the agreement,
I finally got my feelings
for Mr. Zhang under control.
I'm worried
that if I move back,
I will fall for him again.
I'm worried
I don't know what you are struggling with.
The experience of our predecessors tells us
that it's harder to reconcile with an enemy than to make one.
So you and Mr. Zhang
will never untie your unfortunate bond.
Unfortunate bond?
Why are you calling it that now?
Don't you know that?
Only unfortunate bonds can last through three cycles of life.
Just stop struggling with it.
It's impossible
for you and Mr. Zhang to part ways.
What if my head turns into a mess
when I see him again?
Then
you can recite poems, formulas, or English words.
What are you talking about?
When I was preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam,
I thought of a really good way
to stop myself from playing games again.
Whenever I want to play,
I would start to recite English words
from A to C.
Eventually, not only did I get rid of the game,
- but I also scored 90 on the English test.
- So?
So whenever you feel flustered,
start to memorize things
that you usually couldn't do.
That way, you will be distracted.
Things that I usually couldn't remember.
That would be
the concepts and formulas of Statistics.
Then memorize formulas.
Zhiyi, the day after tomorrow is my birthday.
Can you come to my birthday party?
Gu Xiao!
It's Gu Xiao!
He invited me to go to his birthday party.
Reply to his message!
"You have to be here."
All right. I'll be there on time.
Sister, look! This is the apartment I bought.
Party B, right?
- Take off the limit...
- Mr. Zhang.
This one is yours.
Mr. Zhang.
I thought you would be back tonight.
I'm back.
The room looks a little different.
I noticed that you like to sleep in,
so I got you curtains.
The color is exactly like the clothes you are wearing.
They look good.
Did you change the sheet too?
Both the sheet and quilt cover are new.
I'm not sure if you would like them.
The dresser is also new.
I noticed
that you needed a place for your underclothes.
Thank you.
Welcome home.
What are you doing?
Mr. Zhang.
Do you also watch
this kind of brainless drama?
I was forced.
Who has the nerve to force you?
He calls me every day,
asking for my comments on his acting skill.
And you actually agreed?
If I didn't,
he would just call me more often
and make me say more
about his acting skills.
So what's your comment for him now?
His performance
has successfully created a middle-aged man
without dreams and purposes.
And...
How should I describe him?
Greasy?
That's a good adjective.
It's accurate.
Mr. Zhang, don't you usually check the internet?
I would visit some websites of mathematical journals
to search for information
or check the recent academic forum.
Don't you read
the news
or gossip?
I would visit some practical websites.
Gossip?
Why would you read that?
Life
is about feeling happy.
I have math.
I am happy.
You like me, right?
No.
That's not true.
I've watched this episode.
I remember Lu Yu once said
that actors would easily fall in love
by shooting romance shows like that.
Would the two of us
have a similar illusion?
Mr. Zhang,
I think this kind of brainless drama
is just not for you.
Maybe you shouldn't watch it.
Good night.
What happened?
Why did you rush me into coming here?
There has been a situation.
What situation?
Isn't today Gu Xiao's birthday party?
Why aren't you there?
I thought
it would just be me and Gu Xiao.
I didn't know he would be surrounded by beautiful girls
until I got here.
Look what am I wearing!
Gao Zhiyi,
I thought you'd always been self-obsessed.
Would you think someone is more beautiful than you are?
This is not the time
for jokes.
Do you have
to stand out from all the women
in front of Gu Xiao?
Yes!
I am that childish, so what?
All right. You can do anything you want.
Stop agreeing with me.
Think of something.
I'm embarrassed to get in now.
Am I pretty?
It took me three months of salary.
How could you not look good?
I will pay you back when I have the money.
Go!
Gu Xiao!
You can also pick this hole.
Zhiyi.
What took you so long?
I've been waiting for you.
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
Zhiyi,
you look so beautiful today.
Gu Xiao.
Who is this young lady?
She's my girlfriend.
She's stunning.
Here.
Just follow me.
Come on, let's drink.
Do you have to be so clingy?
It's too sweet!
So sweet!
- Come on!
- Let's do it together.
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
- Happy birthday.
Light candles
- Thank you.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday
Here. Thank you, guys.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you for coming.
Here.
Thank you, everyone!
Thank you, guys.
Thank you for coming.
Cheers.
This is an expensive one.
Why don't I get you one?
No, no, no!
Let me finish.
Guys,
please stop your work for now.
Let me introduce you
to our new colleague,
Yun Shu.
Hello, I'm Yun Shu.
I'm looking forward to working with you.
Starting today,
Yun Shu will be my new assistant.
You can talk to her
about my schedule.
Yun Shu.
This is your seat.
Come to me with any questions.
Thank you.
Lilian.
Show Yun Shu around.
Okay.
Let's go, Yun Shu.
I'll show you around.
Okay.
- I'll go with her.
- Go.
All right.
Back to work.
I thought Counselor Meng was a loner.
Why is he hiring an assistant all of a sudden?
If you saw a girl
who's young and beautiful,
you would hire her, too.
No.
I think
you are more beautiful.
Beat it!
Come in!
Counselor Meng,
thank you so much
for hiring me.
Although my major was not the law,
and I may not be of help professionally,
I will work hard to learn
and try to
offer you
help
professionally.
Why are you look so serious
as if you are fighting a war?
You can take things slowly at work.
You are my assistant,
not my helper.
What?
Anything else?
Counselor Meng,
I'm serious about wanting to learn.
I really want to help you.
Do you mean that?
Then start from the three big ones.
"2014
National Judicial Examination exercise book."
What?
Is that too much?
No, Counselor Meng.
I'll finish it.
Thank you.
The dish is a little spicy today.
What are you reading?
Yun Shu.
Yun Shu?
What are you reading?
This is the work material
that Counselor Meng gave me.
It can wait until after dinner.
I'm not hungry.
Counselor Meng ordered fried chicken for lunch.
I'm done.
You are?
I have work to do.
Put everything over there when you finish.
I'll clean up later.
Hello, Yu Buji.
It's been a while.
Why not come and have a drink later?
I've been busy lately. Sorry.
Come on!
It has been a while
since you visited the bar the last time.
I haven't learned the game
you taught me last time.
- When can you show it to me again?
- I'm busy.
I have to go.
Don't go!
Come on!
Princess, give me a break. I'm begging you.
- Psycho!
- Let me explain.
I was just...
Greasy.
Yun Shu.
Mr. Zhang.
Do you need tampons?
Do you need to use the bathroom?
I'm just asking you
because I want to take a shower.
If you need the bathroom,
you can go first...
That's okay, Mr. Zhang.
Thank you.
Okay.
Mr. Zhang.
- Tell me.
- Can you close the door?
Okay.
Why did she become so motivated?
Yun Shu.
Is it for me?
I wanted some milk,
so I warmed up one glass for you, too.
Thank you, Mr. Zhang.
You are welcome.
Anything else?
No.
Mr. Zhang.
You are wearing the pajama I gave you.
Yes.
It looks nice.
It suits you.
Oh, right!
Is there anything I can help with?
It's just that the articles of the law
are so hard to remember.
I have to be really focused to
read them word by word
to barely understand them.
So...
So?
Can you turn down
the TV in the living room a little?
Otherwise, I can't focus on my book.
Of course.
Oh, Yun Shu.
You know
I minored in law before.
I can answer any
of your questions.
That's okay.
Counselor Meng said that I can mark anything
that I don't understand,
and he will answer them at work.
Counselor Meng?
The TV.
TV?
Okay.
I will work hard.
Counselor Meng.
What's the background of Yun Lan?
She became the director not long after she joined the company.
Could she and Mr. Liu be...
Maybe.
I can see that she's bad news by looking
at her eyes.
She has amorous eyes.
She can take away a man's soul.
What are you doing here?
Oh, my god! Is that Lu Yu?
- Come on, how is that possible?
- That's Lu Yu, for sure.
- Does Yun Lan know Lu Yu?
- She does have a trick or two.
Impressive!
She gets the boss's support at work
and an idol's flower after work.
Wait.
Thank you for your kind words.
I'm truly the winner of life.
I can survive by my looks,
and I can move up by this.
What are you doing here?
To pick up my girlfriend.
- Whom are you referring to?
- You!
When have I ever said that I would be your girlfriend?
I spent two nights at your place.
That's not right.
Three nights.
How could you say that you are not my girlfriend?
Let me be more clear.
If you are bored,
and I happen to have the time,
we can hang out,
but if you want to move forward,
I'm sorry.
I have no such plan.
Yun Lan.
Take the flowers!
Hang out...
Sister.
Thank you.
You are on time today.
I went to visit Grandpa at his place.
Is Grandpa all right?
He's all right.
I've been crazily busy.
I'll go visit him
when he's fully rested.
Sister,
I have good news for you.
What kind of good news can you have?
I got a new job.
What kind of job?
At a law firm.
Just like you.
But I'm just an assistant.
Considering your logic,
it must be some benevolent law firm.
Sister...
Let me ask you.
Did you and Zhang Sinian
use protection?
I don't want to receive news of a baby.
No. We didn't.
- "You didn't"?
- No.
That's not what I mean.
I mean...
No, Sister.
What were you thinking?
It's not like that.
That's good.
Listen.
You and Zhang Sinian have a contract.
You might be going your separate ways in one year.
Even if it works out between you two,
don't agree to do that with him
unless you have no other choice
or you can't resist him no matter what.
Did you hear me?
Yes.
I understand.
Sister.
Did you never have a moment when you couldn't resist someone?
Not even when you were abroad?
I was busy with work every day.
Where do I get that kind of time?
It must have been hard.
Although she looks clumsy,
she did well.
So you should thank me.
I can sense your appreciation.
You are welcome.
But
Yun Shu just started this job,
and you arranged so much work for her.
That's exploitation.
Exploitation?
Zhang Sinian.
When have you started
to use inaccurate words?
You know what I mean.
Yun Shu got this job
because you found me
and asked me to help her.
She's just getting started,
and you are protecting her like that.
What am I supposed to do from here?
I'm asking
not to affect our daily life.
Your relationship is contractual.
It's not a normal life to start with.
Yun Shu, are you looking for Counselor Meng?
Yes.
I've finished the work Counselor Meng arranged for me.
I can deliver it to him now.
No way.
You'd better come up with a good reason
why you are in this office in five seconds.
Five, four, three...
Yun Shu.
This is the work you arranged for me.
I checked the document from this morning.
Nicely done.
Thank you.
Is there anything else?
No.
Then I'm going to head out now.
Yun Shu.
You just started working.
I've been meaning to ask you
if I have given you
too much work.
Of course not.
Slow learners should start sooner.
I have no basics in this line of work.
I should be working harder.
So
would I be affecting your daily life?
No.
Actually, I don't have a life of my own.
Work is all there is.
Work shouldn't be like life.
And life shouldn't be just about work.
You need to learn to release the stress from work in your daily life.
Counselor Meng,
I might be a little slow
that I'm not quite following you,
but I will try.
You are so much smarter than some people.
At least
you know what's life.
- What's wrong?
- It's okay.
I had a cramp.
A cramp.
- Go.
- I'm heading out.
Yun Shu.
What happened?
Don't
you need to read documents today?
Not today.
Counselor Meng said that I can have a day off.
He said that the most important thing is feeling happy in my daily life.
- Aren't you happy at the law firm?
- I am happy.
Ever since I started working at the law firm,
my life has become so much more meaningful.
I'm really happy.
That's good.
Yun Shu.
Yun Shu?
You are busy at work already,
don't mind
the chores.
Why don't I get an auntie to help clean?
No. I can do all these things.
Besides, I would feel lighter
if I can work.
Would dealing with the chores
make you happy?
Yes!
This is life.
- Okay.
- Mr. Zhang.
So what kind of thing
would make you feel happy in your daily life?
Math and work.
I told you before.
I think
you should try other
trivial things in life.
They might make you feel happier.
All right. I'm heading to the supermarket.
We need groceries.
Yun Shu.
Why don't we go together?
Sure.
What are you studying?
There's a discount today.
I'm calculating
what's the most economical plan.
Let me do the math.
10% off.
20% off.
How about letting me help you?
All right.
Okay. It's done.
Young man,
don't try to be vague here.
Tell me,
what's the most economical purchase plan?
Yes!
Just tell us what's the cheapest plan.
- Am I right, Young Lady?
Buy goods worth 188 yuan,
and then
use the 25 yuan coupon
in a separate bill.
Then, according to
the rule of 1000 points for 10 yuan,
pay with WeChat
and get the 5 yuan bonus
so you would be able to use the bonus
when you shop here again.
This should be the most economical plan.
So...
They are gone.
You have to admit
that you and the old lady are quite alike.
Young Man.
- It's really you.
- Young Man.
The plan you mentioned is outstanding.
See?
I got so much stuff
and saved a lot of money at the same time.
You are handsome
and careful.
Young Man, what do you do for a living?
Me?
He studies math.
Yes.
Then you must be a middle school math teacher.
No wonder you are so impressive.
And you have a beautiful girlfriend.
On top of that, you are careful.
You two are so happy.
Well
She's not my girlfriend.
We are married.
You are?
You are a good match.
- This is great.
- We should check out now.
All right.
Young Man, thank you.
Thank you so much.
Don't worry about it.
Yun Shu.
You were right.
About what?
The trivial things in life
do bring some happiness. e
