Review... "Moreover, we were surprised to discover,"

"while facing the dark, raging waters,"

"there existed a life brighter than sun,"

"whiter than the snow,"

"more valiant than the storm."

Ke Jie will come and see us.

Just once is OK.

Ke Jie, where on earth are you?

That night she saw us, right?

Ke Jie, without you

my life has no meaning at all.

You're her best friend

so you know she'll come back, right?

"The North Star can attest to this."

"No matter which direction you observe it from,"

"with majesty, joy, and strength,"

"with wings that soar above the seagulls..."

"Perhaps you like reading of myths, but for us, you are our myth."

The results from our previous meeting

show that the majority of hospitals stress their pathology and surgical departments.

This leads to a serious lack of pediatric specialists.

In the next five years, our hospital will strive hard for the Pediatric Division.

Additionally... You all know that Shu Lei is my son.

However, the announcement we're about to make

has nothing to do with our relationship.

I want all of you to be clear on the matter.

This year, he produced good results as the Director of the Administrative Office.

So from next month on,

he'll be promoted to Director of Human Resources.

Director, congratulations.

After such a short time, you officially take over.

Hurry, all of those need to be picked up.

Alright.

What are you guys doing?

Director, the President asked us to move your things to your office.

I can do it by myself.

Thanks for the help.

But the President wishes for you to start your duties soon,

and there are so many books here.

I said I can do them by myself.

Please leave.

"One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich."

Was it a good read?

Far better than good.

It made me appreciate each and every day of my life.

Then... Have you read "Sieze the Day"?

Yes, I did.

So I know...

We mustn't live in the mistakes of our past.

I can't stop blaming myself.

Can you forgive me?

Ke Jie...

Without you, my life is meaningless.

Can it be that my life is imprisoned here?

Shu Lei!

What are you looking for?

I saw someone who looked like Ke Jie. She was standing there looking at us.

I don't want it!

What generation is this? A blind date?

My friends will laugh at me!

Just don't take it as a blind date.

Just go meet him, have some coffee and a talk.

He's upright and has a good character.

What's wrong if you can be friends?

Why should I have coffee with a stranger?

Furthermore, you don't just see someone's character.

Won't you get to know him if you have some coffee?

Only when you get along with someone can you mutually understand each other.

Why should I get to know a stranger?

Ke Xing, can you come over and listen to me?

Don't come and go. Please sit down, OK?

Du Ke Xing, sit down and listen.

He likes to improve himself.

He knows now is the right time to earn big money.

Moreover, he has looked into it meticulously.

Today he gave me an analysis of the Direct General Assembly this afternoon,

explaining the pros and cons.

Look, this is the book he gave me.

A person with ideals and practicality like him,

marrying him isn't a bad idea.

But what does all this have to do with me?

Besides, who said I have to marry a rich man?

Do you think I nothing else to do so I helped you find a boyfriend?

I'm afraid you'll become like me in the future.

Who you shouldn't marry... Marrying a poor professor.

I lived a hard life.

I handled all difficulties on my own.

Had I realised this earlier

I wouldn't have waste my youth for your dad.

So, are you going?

I don't want to!

Du Ke Xing!

I don't want to!

OK, forget it! Then don't go!

Nobody ever listens to me anyway.

Just like your dad, treat me like I'm invisible.

Mom, why are we here so early?

Auntie Liu needs help. She wants you to help her accept the presents.

You'd better do a good job, don't count the money wrong.

I got it.

Xiang Qin, we're here.

Ruo Lan!

Almost couldn't make it on time. Have I delayed you?

It's still early, but the guests will be here soon.

This is... - Ke Xing, greet Auntie.

Hello, Auntie Liu.

Wow, you're so pretty.

Let me introduce you.

An Yi, come.

Do you still remember my eldest daughter, An Yi?

Aunt Qin, long time no see.

You've grown up so much.

He's my son, Ze Xuan.

Ke Xing, do you remember? When you were very little

I brought him over your house to play.

Ke Xing, please help Ze Xuan today to accept the gifts.

After you finish I'll give you a big red envelope. (red envelope with money)

I'll also ask Ze Xuan to treat you out. Alright?

Then Ke Xing, you help Ze Xuan.

We'll leave it to you two.

OK.

Come.

Sit here.

Come.

No, when the time comes, this...

An Yi, we're busy inside.

Let's go.

The both of you will handle it.

OK, thank you.

OK.

Hi, how are you?

I'm Li Ze Xuan.

Let's start.

First, I'll let you know I'm not very good at math.

I'll collect the payment from you later.

OK, as long you can handle reception and signatures.

You can leave the rest to me.

That works.

Do you really remember that I went to your house before?

Buying useless stuff from the internet again.

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

What are you doing here?

I came to bring some gift cakes.

My mom said Auntie Qin is home all afternoon and asked me to bring these.

My mother?

She's going to be out the entire day.

And she just called me and asked me to pick up a package.

I didn't know it'd be you.

Perhaps my mother got it wrong.

It's okay, you can accept it on behalf of your mother.

Also, I just bought some red bean pastries.

Let's eat them together.

But I have something...

You have to queue for a long time before you can buy them.

They're super delicious.

You just helped me and now you're treating me red bean pastry.

Thanks so much. I'll treat you the next time.

Don't mention it. My second sister and I love eating red bean pastry.

She often ate this together with me.

Now she's married, we don't have the chance to have them together often.

I should thank you instead.

Your relationship with your sister seems pretty good.

That's right.

There's only one guy in the family, so everything was invested in me.

I went to the best high school and university.

Actually, my sister is very smart.

Had she gone to high school, she might not have to marry that awful guy.

What's wrong?

I've talking all alone. I forgot to listen to you.

Listen to me?

The business management book says that only by listening carefully to others can you make real friends,

a book of contacts.

Can you let me listen to you?

Who would ask something like that?

You're so weird.

Not at all. Why not...

I'll ask you and you'll just answer me.

For example, do you have anything you like to do?

What are your interests? Watching movies?

Dreams! What do you most want to do?

Dreams?

I just want to be peaceful and happy.

I don't have any mighty dreams.

What about you?

Me?

I'd like to earn enough money,

and then become my own boss and head towards success!

I feel like your life is all about earning money.

Aren't you worried that people will think you're materialistic or care too much about money?

No.

I think it's not wrong to be realistic.

I want my family to have a good life and live in a nice home.

And also, I shouldn't let my future wife suffer.

For all this happiness, I must work harder.
