Sweet Dreams (Yi Qian Ling Yi Ye / 一千零一夜)

Why are you still here?

- Bo Hai left awhile ago. - Where did he go?

To the dock.

Bo Hai!

Sorry.

Bo Hai!

Bo Hai!

Excuse me.

Bo Hai. Bo Hai!

You're mostly fine.

You just have a slight fever. Take the medicine and sleep.

You'll be fine tomorrow.

Here.

It's hot.

Go to sleep.

Sleep.

I don't want to sleep.

I'm afraid you'll disappear if I sleep too long.

I won't.

I went to the docks to deliver flowers.

I wasn't leaving.

Then will you keep me company?

Just for awhile.

Go to sleep.

Move in.

What a luxurious meal!

You usually just make me noodles with pickled vegetables.

Lust over friendship, huh?

That's not it.

It's "honoring the teacher and revering his teachings."

I taught him to make these things.

Your story seems complicated.

I feel like it would take over 10,000 characters to write.

Eat your food.

Here, I'll watch the flower cart today.

You can just keep Ms. Ling company.

I like to come here when I'm free and look out at the sea.

There aren't any flowers...

but you can still clear your mind.

You can forget all your frustrations.

No responsibilities, no busy work.

Life is simple and plain, but there's happiness in the simplicity.

The little things that people often talk about...

are right in front of us.

It's just that we're so busy.

We never have the time to bask in their existence.

Actually...

That day was a misunderstanding.

- I... - I know.

I knew a long time ago.

At the time...

I was momentarily shocked in public.

But after I calmed down to think about it, I pretty much figure it out.

It's all my fault.

You must hate me.

How is it your fault?

I've never hated you.

I only hate myself.

My own uselessness made things turn out like this.

Go back.

We've all been waiting for a year.

If you go back, we can start over together.

I said it already.

I'm not going back.

I'm a failure

in both love and career.

So don't waste your time.

What right do you have to say you aren't capable?

Everyone has been waiting for a year!

Now you're saying you aren't capable?

That you've found your own happiness?

How is that fair to everyone else? Isn't that too selfish?

Yes. I am selfish.

Tell me then.

How does someone without color help you get FlowerPlus back?

My colors never came back after that day.

I don't think they ever will.

That place is empty. William transferred Uncle Zhou away.

Finding him again... won't be easy.

It seems we accidentally provoked the viper.

I called the man I have next to William.

I can't reach him though, so I assume William found out.

We acted too fast, the enemy caught on.

Put a pause on everything for now.

Let's wait and see.

What?

I worked for the company for three years and I'm being laid off?

This is too arrogant!

- How can he just do as he pleases? - Exactly!

I haven't paid my mortgage this month yet!

Firing so many people at once, what are they thinking?

Didn't he promise to discuss this after Ling Ling Qi returned?

Why did he go back on his word and get rid of 30 people?

We only have 80 people at HQ to begin with!

Liu Ying Jie is despicable.

He has no sense of justice.

Wait for me!

By the way...

Any interest in drinking this year's Mingqian green tea?

Mr. Liu. Why the sudden layoffs?

"Sudden"?

You're aware of our circumstances.

The company is struggling.

How can we make ends meet without laying people off?

Ling Ling Qi already sourced a high quality low cost supplier.

Our production costs have gone down. Why are you still laying people off?

The costs that Ling Ling Qi cut down aren't enough to make up for our losses.

Haven't we already discussed this during the meeting?

And you consented to Ling Ling Qi's negotiation with the supplier!

The market is always changing.

The company is deteriorating.

I calculated a rough estimate of all the offices' losses.

If we don't lay people off, there's only one way to go.

Bankruptcy.

Business isn't charity.

It has to profit.

I get it. You're just determined to fire people.

Whatever you say goes.

- You're too cruel! - Director Zhou, Secretary Chen.

Watch your attitudes when you speak to me.

I'm not opposed to adding a few names to the layoff list.

Chen Mo, what's going on?

Qi Qi, when are you coming back?

I think I'll need a couple more days.

I'm trying to negotiate an important partnership.

Forget that. Mr. Liu suddenly decided to fire off a bunch of people.

What? Why is he going back on his word?

Calm down.

We'll think of something when I get back.

Okay.

Is something on your mind?

Bo Hai spent a year here with me.

All he does is drink and space out.

I don't know what would've happened to him

if I hadn't kept him here and given him a job.

To be honest, the sky is much higher here than it is in the city.

The stars are brighter. Far away from the chaos of people.

It really is satisfying.

But... he isn't happy.

Aside from selling flowers and importing flowers...

Aside from me and those kids...

He ignores everything else. Do you call that satisfying?

Oh, right. He has this thing he hides like a precious gem.

Let me find it for you.

This, look.

These are used to make floral art, right?

Seriously, why is he doing this to himself?

- Are you crazy? - I am crazy!

You're numbing yourself. You don't belong here, Bo Hai!

So what?

I used to be a florist.

But now, I'm just a colorblind flower merchant!

I just want to live out my life in peace.

I can't help anyone.

Including myself.

Bo Hai!

From the moment...

a flower stem is cut from its branch...

its life has already been decided for it.

These stems live inside vases, giving the last vibrant display of their lives.

After the show is over... they die.

But some flowers stubbornly refuse to give in to their fate.

Right after they bloom, new buds begin growing.

A life without flaws isn't a perfect one.

We didn't come into this world to be perfect, flawless angels.

We're here to experience all the good and bad flavors of life.

All kinds of tragedies, happiness, separations and reunions.

Flowers are pretty when they bloom.

But the strong buds of new life... emit a more dazzling brightness.

Mr. Liu, is it true that FlowerPlus is laying off one-third of its employees?

We hear that among those laid off are pregnant employees.

What is your explanation?

FlowerPlus hasn't been doing well after its acquisition by Creative.

What do you have to say as CEO?

I apologize, but we didn't arrange for press time today.

Give us something!

I don't know who leaked the layoffs to the media.

I don't understand why they're so enraged over a few layoffs.

Boss, since the media is following this...

shouldn't we hold off on the layoffs for now?
