The Coolest World (The World is Cool / Zui Ku De Shi Jie / 最酷的世界)

[The world is not perfect. In order to gain something, you have to lose something. - Plato]

No, Baby!

No, no!

Come on!

Come back!

No one wants Nie's lame paintings. Why are you so happy?

Mind your tongue! They are not lame!

What's the name of our yard? Artist Community.

If his work is lame, everything here is lame.

You sure have a sharp tongue.

Nie Jiafan, what are you doing?

Are you insane? - Cool!

What do you want? I haven't even brushed my teeth.

Look! How is it?

My new work,

"A torn woman."

Who did it to her? Was she robbed?

No! Torn by life and time!

Women live at the expense of life and time. Don't you know that?

Can't you understand how women get polluted,

exploited, and abused in this big melting pot? Don't you understand?

I didn't get it just now. Now that you've explained it to me, it makes sense!

Not bad! It's so cool!

How did you get the idea?

Nie Jiafan!

Are those my clothes?

Indeed.

I searched the closet for clothes you've never worn before. I thought you wouldn't wear those anyway.

Excuse me? I especially hid them to prevent you from destroying them again!

I was going to wear them for the commendation conference today!

So what?

The newspaper wants to commend your article, your spirit.

Those have nothing to do with your clothes.

They have become a part of my work.

You should be happy, shouldn't you?

Fine, just you wait!

I'll settle this with you when I return tonight. I'll interrogate your soul.

Stop pushing!

Stop it! Come on.

What's going on? You haven't replied to me.

Well,

whatever you want for dinner, name it. My treat.

Are you caught up in a dream again?

Eating while walking is bad for your health!

I mean it. If the bomb hadn't fallen right in front of me,

I would be holding an award and giving the acceptance speech by now.

You're excellent enough!

In such a short time, you've published an exclusive report in depth.

How many young reporters can be as good as you?

The news prize will be yours one day.

That sounds great, Sister Nuo.

I haven't heard any compliments since I came to Beijing. Keep talking.

That's enough. Get to work. Your leader will do it for me.

All right, I get it.

Sister Nuo, when will I be able I live a life like yours?

A promising career, a sweet marriage, and an adorable baby! I envy you.

You're adorable, too.

Have the artist propose to you.

Forget that. I'd be crazy to marry him!

Mommy, Mommy! - What's wrong, Little Nuo?

It's nothing.

You'll find out later. She's always calling my name for help.

I need to go. I wish you success.

Sure. Goodbye, Sister Nuo.

Xiaoxiao!

That's far from elegant! Stop licking the lid. - Why?

I heard from an expert that

the difference between a goddess and a wallflower is that the goddess never licks a lid.

Really? My expert said a goddess only licks the lid and dumps the rest of it!

We'll let them fight it out. - Sure.

Sister Xiaowen. What brings you to the company today?

Since something this big happened at the magazine, I had to come.

It's not that big of a deal.

Anyway,

thank you for coming to support me. - What?

No problem.

I've decided to come back.

There's no need to hurry! You just gave birth.

You should use up your maternity leave!

I can't stay still for long.

If things go on like this, I'll get out of touch with society.

No way. Here, I have another bottle of yogurt.

Are you going to lick the lid? - You bet! Let's go.

Feng, Mu...

Wai, Qianqian...

You're so skinny! - You've put on weight!

Not bad, right?

President Lu.

President Lu.

Xiaoxiao, you made a great report this time.

How is it?

Have you made your decision?

The traditional press is facing a transition.

We need to adapt to the new era.

President Chen is very thoughtful.

We are now in cooperation with Yo Media.

You may carry on working there.

But you'll need to pass an internship period.

President Lu,

what about the salary during the internship?

Only meal allowance.

Those who want to come with me can register with Xiaowen.

I won't hold you off if you have better options.

All right. There's not much work to do today.

If any of you would like to resign,

you can just close your accounts with Sister Xu.

Enough, don't just stand there.

All your salaries have already been transferred into your accounts.

Come with me if you still need reimbursement.

Sir, I didn't see Nie.

Everyone said he came to the studio early this morning.

That boy... Acting so mysteriously since the morning.

Let's go back then.

Wait outside. - Yes, Sir.

Take a look. Here's your payment for the last painting.

Do you think I'm skimping on the payment?

The last painting was sold for ¥1,000 ($155).

The other ¥1,000 is my gift for you.

Don't come to me again if it's about your art.

What do you mean?

I've known you for years.

A word of advice, you're a good man.

However,

you don't have the talent.

I've seen many people here at Songzhuang,

and I have rejected a lot of them!

I know things are hard for you,

but there are plenty of artists here who are having a hard time.

Yet they choose to work hard! You aren't famous for your art.

Instead, you're famous for being sweet with your girlfriend.

Songzhuang is full of masters, but they all live lonely lives!

A torn woman,

inspired by your girlfriend, again? You'd better talk to her.

Ask her to work hard and be successful. And you...

You can be a good husband, and sweet-talk her every day at home.

That's also another way of living.

Let's not see each other again.

Didn't Dong tell you?

There were rumors earlier this year.

Our magazine's performance is poor.

President Lu couldn't save it.

Xiaoxiao, I can completely understand how you feel. Anyone would feel the same.

You worked so hard on this report. We all know what you've done,

as does President Lu.

The effort wasn't in vain. At least you've gained experience.

Xiaoxiao, you should actually consider Yo Media.

It's a big, famous company, and it is the top one in our field.

President Lu tried so hard to get the opportunity for us.

Do you still want to work for him?

I enjoy clocking in and out. It feels fulfilling.

Gold will glitter no matter where it is.

Never be afraid of change.

President Lu.

Yes?

Could you please send me the address and registration time of the new company?

I'll create a group chat and post the information there.

And one more thing.

Is the new magazine issue still going to come out?

No.

Well... Was it printed?

I want to take a look.

I've wired the money.

You guys!

Hurry! Be careful! Don't get it wet!

Steady!

Give it to me.

Don't let them get wet.

Okay, go ahead.

Get in. I will wait here.

Cover them up!

Quickly! It's pouring outside!

Come on. Come on!

Go back. Back to the room! Hurry!

Back to the room!

Excuse me. Was New Flag Magazine printed here?

What's that?

Was New Flag Magazine printed here?

That magazine stopped publishing.

The latest issue, was it printed?

Try your luck over there in that pile of scraps.

Thank you.

Wang, get in! Get into the room. Hurry!

What are you doing?

When will it stop raining?

Hurry, Guys. Load this box.

Leave that one be.
