The Adventure (奇遇)

Do you often feel like

once you're past 40, you're already old?

That your boring life drags on endlessly day after day?

Do you feel excluded everywhere you go,

like you're suffocating?

Even the mirror reflects back a greasy face?

Do you try hard to adjust your mindset,

to cheer yourself up,

to stay strong,

but end up enduring wrongs,

swallowing all the grievances in silence?

Have you started missing your younger self,

only to realize youth has long passed its expiration date?

Even in your family relationships,

cracks have started to appear.

Dearie, I'm off.

Isn't your hair getting too long?

Get a haircut.

And the bangs...

What? Want me to scramble off?

The wife ignores.

The kid rebels.

All you can do is turn a blind eye.

No matter what you do,

it feels like nothing works.

Do you feel like every day in your forties

is a slow downhill slide?

Like you'll never escape this vicious cycle of life?

Do you tell yourself

it's better to stay out of trouble,

but still can't help sticking your nose in other's business?

Huang, messing with the bicycles?

They just fell over.

In the end, you realize

you were just looking for problems,

but delaying your own business.

Huang Yu Qi, one minute late.

Recently, our performance has declined.

I know everyone feels upset about it.

But it's all right.

Mr. Ren has already increased investment in new products.

- Do we have confidence? - Yes!

I have confidence in you, too.

That wraps the morning meeting.

Now, let's start today's wake-up game.

- Are you guys ready? - Yes, we're ready!

- Black carrots down! - Black carrots down.

Black carrots down, and... pink carrots down!

Pink carrots down!

Pink carrots down, and gray carrots down!

Gray carrots down!

Gray carrots down, and green carrots down!

Pause there.

Someone is late again.

Like I said,

we are one big family,

and we should look out for every member.

- Green carrots down! - Green carrots down!

Huang Yu Qi, out!

Do you feel like you can't keep up with the younger generation?

Smiling through the awkwardness is your go-to move now.

Huang, we need some new products!

Huang, there's an issue with the power supply!

Okay, wait a minute.

- Huang, the copier's out of paper! - On it!

Huang!

Coming!

Welcome to the live stream dears!

- Today, Rising Sun is... - Efficient, right?

Bringing you a brand-new five-level resistance band.

Let me adjust the angle real quick.

You've become the background in other's story.

A villain of your own story.

Your life feels like falling into an endless abyss.

It seems like you've messed everything up.

Holy crap! My research!

What was that?

If any of these sound familiar,

don't lose hope.

Don't be discouraged.

Because here's what I want you to know.

40 is the best age to truly take control of your life.

And if you're ready to level up at 40,

come to us.

We've brought in Nobel-level Oxford experts

to develop our new product.

Through my extensive research,

I've discovered that thiamine

can actually slow down the aging process of cells.

Our ultimate goal at Rising Sun is

to make everyone rise like the sun!

The tester pen is broken.

Welcome back.

Next, let's focus on the following report.

Astronomical forecasts indicate that

a meteor shower lasting one month will begin tomorrow.

The last meteor shower of this magnitude

was 25 years ago.

In multiple locations around Liangma City,

the meteor shower can be directly observed,

including the City People's Square, the City Planetarium,

Qianhu Park, and others.

Under ideal conditions,

astronomy enthusiasts can observe

up to 150 meteors per minute.

Opportunities in life are ever-changing,

but the chances that truly change a person's destiny

are often just a few.

That's why the most crucial time in life

is between the ages of 18 and 20.

Huang Yu Qi, out.

Me again.

Huang.

Huang Yu Qi.

Come in!

Mr. Ren.

- Mr. Ren. - Take a seat.

No need to stand, sit down.

I'll go grab two chairs.

Just stay here.

I've heard it all.

You risked yourself for the company yesterday by touching a socket?

Touched the wrong line

and got my hand blackened by the blast.

Whatever.

Let me tell you, Wang Zhe.

When something good happens in the company,

the first person to think of is Old Huang.

Of course.

Old Huang is always first for company health checks,

year-end benefits, and even for the layoffs next quarter,

Is that a good thing?

Wang Zhe, don't you know that in Liangma,

Old Huang always took first place in the 400 meter race.

Every single time.

Except for that one accident.

Yeah, I know that, Mr. Ren.

We were classmates in high school, after all.

Then why don't I ever think of you?

That's because you only think of Yu Qi!

Yu Qi.

With all the stuff you do every day,

I could just get an intern for that, right?

They'd cost less and are much stronger than you.

Ask yourself,

what can you really do for the company?

Old Huang is about to do something big for the company.

Our company's newly-developed anti-aging meal replacement powder

is about to enter clinical tasting trials.

I've been thinking

and still can't figure out who should try it.

Before or after meals?

It's a meal replacement powder.

Take it as a meal.

Thanks for the meal, sir.

If it tastes good, take more.

I can come back for more.

Eat well and you'll even get a bonus.

Any questions?

The door.

Bye.

Feels great. So warm.

The three of us together

instantly reminds me of our school days.

Take care of yourself.

Don't worry.

Pace.

Arm swing.

Be careful.

Keep in pace.

Huang Zi?

Dad?

Huang Yu Qi?

Mr. Liu?

I've been seriously contemplating

how did such a talented kid come along?

Turns out, it's all genetic!

Don't doubt it.

Back in the day,

your dad was the top athlete

in all of Liangma City.

Even across the whole province,

he was one of the best.

That must've been two decades ago, right?

Over two decades now.

And now, your son has become

the best athlete on our team.

My son's already got the extra points on running.

He's done with training.

Why not? Doing sports is great!

Look at me, after all these years,

I haven't aged a bit.

Unlike you.

I'm pretty sure I'm older than you.

Two years older.

Run!

- Why can't I run? - Weren't you preparing for exams?

Huang Zi, put on your jacket.

Put it on!

You're still young.
