My True Friend

Episode 1

Shao. This time, the professional examinations for all the courses are very important.

If you skip them again, Stephen, the devil dean of our course will not let you go.

He'll definitely report you to the school.

Help me deal with this for now; I'm too busy to worry about this. I must go to Shanghai the day after tomorrow.

Is the opening of the Aquarium that important? If you miss the examinations this time,

would the school actually expel you?

That's not possible. At most, it'll be a disciplinary action.

Besides, our dean has always been kind to me.

My dad has been funding his research for three years already.

How could he let such an excellent finance supplier leave so easily?

Rome, Italy

Mr. Jing, your plane ticket to Shanghai has already been booked.

Your schedule for the trip has all been arranged. On the first day, you'll be attending the reopening of the Aquarium of Shanghai.

After the event, you'll be meeting up with three real estate companies.

- I've already arranged the appointment times for you. - Okay.

Okay, I've got it.

They would like to see your elegant appearance at the re-opening ceremony.

Okay.

Shao, to be honest, I really envy you.

You see, your studies are already like this.

Your dad is also willing to spend that much on you. Unlike my dad, who keeps on reducing my allowance.

That's where you don't understand. My dad's greatest joy everyday is to make money. Apart from it, there's nothing that interests him.

So the more I spend his money, the more he feels the sense of accomplishment and control.

If he didn't have money, how would he be able to keep control over his employees, me and my mom?

Hello, this is the...

Hello this is Mei Fang Housekeeping. I'm am happy to assist you.

- Then, please leave a rating for my service. - Okay.

Thank you.

Four hundred ninety-eight likes.

Five hundred completed.

Mr. Jing, I am looking forward to your return to China for the re-opening ceremony of the Shanghai Aquarium. I hope to see your elegant appearance as soon as possible - Sincerely

I can't use my bank card to book the tickets. I can't let my old man know that I'm going back home.

Shanghai, China

I've got it!

Hello, this is Mei Fang Housekeeping. I am customer service representative Number 5. How may I help you?

Hello, I have an apartment in Shanghai that I would like to rent out. Can you help me find a tenant?

Okay, Sir. Can you provide me with the details of your apartment?

Rosewood International Apartment, Lilac Court Penthouse. 220 square meters and fully furnished.

Most importantly, it has good soundproofing. So it's perfectly suited for those who like to hold late night home parties.

Right, I'm not too sure about the rent, so help me convert it into US dollars.

Also my only request for the tenant is for them to help book a plane ticket for me.

- Book a plane ticket? - Yes.

That's correct. A first-class ticket from New York to Shanghai. Remember carefully, it must be first-class.

And also, book a room for three nights at the Intercontinental Hotel in Shanghai.

Why don't you purchase them yourself after you receive the rent payment? This request is a little strange.

Why do you have so many questions?

Didn't you guys say that you provide personalized services for your customers?

Then, I would like a personalized custom payment plan. Is there a problem with that?

Miss, so the thing is... I've been wandering about abroad.

I am extremely pitiful. I don't have a bank card and I don't know how to use WeChat or Alipay (online payment platform) .

Can you understand my circumstances?

Okay, Sir. Then do you have any other requests?

That's all. Oh, right. I have one more very important request.

When the tenant leaves, they must tidy up the room just like nothing happened.

You can be rest assured. Once the tenant leaves, we will arrange for a professional cleaning company to clean your apartment.

We will be setting aside some money from your initial deposit as the payment for this service.

Okay, that's it. You're the 5th representative, right? In the future, if I have any other requests, I'll look for you.

Okay. Can you please send me a picture of your apartment and the information? I'll post it on our website for you.

If there is a customer who's interested, they will contact you directly through the app.

All right. Oh, wait.

A friendly reminder for you. Next time,

I suggest that you not make a fuss about the reasonable requests of your customers.

Thank you for your criticism. Please rate my service. Thank you.

No bank card.

He can't use WeChat or Alipay.

How have you been living?

Hello, I am customer representative Number 5.

The tenant for your apartment in Shanghai will be checking-in soon. May I ask for the password for your—

"I am your dad."

Huh? You are my dad?

That's correct. "I am you dad."

Number 5, remember this clearly. The password for my apartment is:

"I am your dad," 5-4-1-8-8.

This person is really weird.

Mr. Jing, we are from the Shanghai Aquarium.

We truly welcome you for personally attending the re-opening ceremony.

Hello, Mr. Shao. We are from the Shanghai Aquarium

We are very grateful for you coming to volunteer.

I am assisting my mom with her work.

This is something that I should be doing.

Jing Ran. I am Cheng Zhen Zhen.

I would like to take a photo with you.

Jing Ran. Can I take a photo with you?

I am Cheng Zhen Zhen.

Hello, Mr. Jing.

I would like to take a photo with you.

I'm sorry.

Chairman.

The head of recruitment has already helped us contact Jing Ran's studio.

He conducted a preliminary negotiation.

He has already agreed to meet us

after the re-opening ceremony of the remodeled Shanghai Aquarium.

But the head recruiter has said that

both Hong Shi and Xin Da Real Estate are also trying to reach out to him.

- You must not take it lightly. - I won't.

Jing Ran's design concept

and the recent launch of his space-doubling plan,

are very suited towards the requirements for building houses in a limited space, which Shanghai needs.

If we are able to convince him to join our company,

then in terms of property development,

we'll be at the top.

Thank you.

Hello.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Voucher Pass

Guest Ticket. Please show me the five hundred likes on your Weibo post.

I'm sorry, you have not reached 500 likes. Go to the back of the line.

What is happening?

I clearly had five hundred likes. Why do I not have enough?

Wait, please let me explain. I only came here,

after I obtained five hundred likes. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here, right?

I'm sorry. You may have had 500 likes in the morning, but now you don't have enough. Please line up again.

Wait a moment. Wait a moment.

This... did someone remove their like?

No, believe me. The reason I want to go in is

because I already obtained five hundred likes. I must go in today. Can you please let me in?

Thank you.

Our aquarium has rules. You can't enter even if you're just missing one. I'm sorry.

Wait, no, no.

Today is very important for me. You must let me in.

If you don't let me in today, I'll be very upset.

I'm begging you. Please? I'm begging you.

- I beg you. - No, I can't! Please go to the back and line up again.

Thank you.

Where's the aquarium?

Thank you.

Jing Ran is currently very popular.

But according to the head recruiter's feedback,

I feel that he is quite interested in our company.

- Do you have any tissues? - Yes, we do.

But it's useless to just rely on our senses.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

What I want to see are results.

Our small real estate company,

can definitely not be comparable to those big property development corporations who have lots of power.

Since the company has already decided to shift our business focus to property development,

we must recruit talented people like Jing Ran.

If I don't personally go to meet him,

it would seem like we are not sincere enough.

How about this. You go inform the head recruiter.

Tell him to draw up a plan for the negotiation as soon as possible.

You can go prepare another collaboration agreement contract for me.

I'll go talk to him personally.

- Do you have any other background music? - Wh-What?

Music also makes up a part of the atmosphere.

The background music here does not match the overall atmosphere.

We didn't really pay attention to this. The music is all randomized.

Put the songs in this on a loop. The music will respond to match the rhythm of the architecture.

I'm giving this USB flash drive to you.

Okay. Does architecture also have a rhythm?

All objects have their own rhythm and beat. Architecture is no exception.

This is the first time that I've heard that architecture has its own rhythm.

He is an amazing designer.

I heard that the shape of a seashell gave him the inspiration

to design this newly, renovated aquarium.

I have exactly five hundred likes, not one less. Now, let me in.

- Even then, you still have to line up. - But—

- Do you have any other requests? - No.

Chairman!

- Chairman. I'll go arrange a car to send you to the hospital immediately. - Don't.

Later, secretly send me to Dr. Zhong.

Later, secretly send me to Dr. Zhong.

Go to the aquarium straightaway,

- and meet Jing Ran as my representative. - Okay.

Today, we are very fortunate to have our main designer, Mr. Jing Ran, here.

And all the fortunate members of our audience today

will be able to come on stage and pet

our dolphins and take a picture with our main designer:

Mr. Jing Ran.

Let me ask, do I have any volunteers?

Yes!

Okay, in order to fulfill your wishes,

now, I'll randomly choose an audience member

to come on stage and pet our little dolphin!

- Who wants to come up? - Me!

The girl sitting in the first row.

- Me? - Yes, you. Please come up.

- No, it's okay. - Come, Miss. This way please.

Welcome! Hello!

You can move up a little bit.

You can say hi to our little dolphin.

You can also take the fish from the bucket and feed it.

When did he come back?

Come here!

Ah, it seems like our little dolphin really likes the lucky audience member today!

Then let's give them another big round of applause!

Here. It's clean so hurry and change into them.

There's a blow dryer inside. Lock the door when you leave.

Wait a minute.

Chairman, Peng Cheng is back.

I saw him at the aquarium.

This brat.

He came back without saying anything.

Chairman, I've already contacted Jing Ran.

I've scheduled him to meet and discuss at the hotel at 8 p.m.

Yun Ping, I've changed my mind.
