The Evolution of Our Love (Ai Qing Jin Hua Lun / 爱情进化论)

If you're going to find a girlfriend, you need to find a compatible one.

Let's talk about this Qingqing. Even though I only saw her a few times,

and I don't know her well yet, but I know you really well.

She's too imaginative, too soft and gentle, not suitable for you.

You should look for a woman with a very strong aura, do you know?

Okay. Since you don't think you have anything with Qingqing,

then let's not talk about this topic anymore.

Let's talk about me.

Talk what about you?

What do you think of my assistant?

He's like what you said about him.

He's pretty young and handsome.

You can't say anything else?

How do you want me to compliment him?

Do you think we are a good match?

I... I don't know if you two are compatible.

I still haven't reached that stage...

Okay then.

Why?

I only met him once! We didn't even speak to each other yet.

How can I have the intuition?

That's right, too. I'll just sense it myself then.

Man Man, it's Dad.

Man Man, I recently saw a documentary about

left-over women on TV.

You're not looking at blind date columns and instead watching documentaries now?

That film was so good.

It had so much realistic meaning.

Especially on the interview of parents,

I can really empathize.

Every word of that expert exactly described my feelings.

Following the suggestion of the expert,

I wrote your good and bad traits, and your current requirements for a partner.

Let me tell you that I don't need these!

Listen first.

That expert said that bliss is something that one must personally strive for.

The expert also said that older men and women should rectify their attitude well.

They should appropriately relax their standards in looking for a partner.

Look. For age, salary, looks, etc.,

one should appropriately relax one's restrictions. The expert also said—

Dad, let the expert rest first. Okay?

Look at that. Your current attitude is totally wrong.

You mustn't deny your illness just because you're afraid of treatment.

How come I've become a patient just because I'm not yet married?

Let me tell you this again!

I hate this society labeling us as "left-over women" the most.

A fair society should allow

different kinds of people having different kinds of ideas.

Although I'm not a part of the "non-marrying" group,

how come not getting married yet makes one a patient now?

Is there a point to keep making an issue about my age?

If a person's lifespan is eighty,

I've just lived up to 3/8 of it and I'm already a left-over.

What about those people who have lived to 4/8, 5/8, or 6/8?

What must they be called?

Should people like us who can't stand this anymore

commit suicide before people like you will feel sorry and say,

"Look at that lady. Taking things too hard at such a young age."

What nonsense are you saying?

Man Man, don't scare me.

I'm not scaring you.

I'm just giving you an example.

I'm living quite well.

Enough. I won't talk to you anymore.

I'm going to work in a while.

Even if you look strong on the outside,

your inner heart frequently gets stirred.

You start to make a fuss about the costs of your mistakes.

Always going with your emotions was because

you had long youthful years where you could rectify your mistakes.

Always following restrictions is because

you're afraid of the consequences of making a mistake

and are powerless to accept it.

An Zhuo, do you want to test your ideal partner type?

Is that thing accurate?

I just tested it earlier. It was so accurate.

I can't dare to test then.

If I take the test and my husband turns out not to be my true love type,

wouldn't I die?

I won't take the test.

I also don't believe it.

Also, there are so many people in this world.

Thoughts are so complicated.

I also don't believe it.

But I feel that treating these things as games to relieve boredom

and have a little fun is fine, too.

Indeed. Look at how right Sister Ruo is.

For stuff like this, it's true if you believe it, it's not if you don't.

Here. Let me have a try.

Where do you look at the result?

Where do I find the answer?

Give it to me. I'll check it for you.

The result is out.

Look. I told you that it's very accurate, Sister Ruoman.

Your result is "love's tough guy."

I'm reading it now, Sister Ruoman.

"A "love's tough guy" is very obstinate.

She totally doesn't believe in destiny.

She thinks that destiny is a hard lot.

People like you don't know what romance is.

Hence, it's very hard for you to find a chance in love."

I feel that it's not believable at all.

Just treat it as a joke.

Gina, continue saying it.

I didn't come up with those words. It was the app that said it.

Don't turn hostile with me.

"You must try to understand yourself more.

What kind of relationship do you want?

Try hard to imagine what love is like.

Look for the feelings of being in love."

Actually, I feel that what it said is quite pertinent.

Right?

Indeed, Director Ai. We all know that your standards are too high,

but we don't know what type you're looking for.

Once I find it, won't you all know?

I'm going now.

I'm also full. I'll get going, too.

Did I say the wrong words?

No, very good.

Remember to come back for your follow-up.

Okay.

It's not right.

Qingqing...

How come there's no "love lunch" today?

You only persisted for a day. That's so insincere.

I won't bring any lunchbox again.

Someone doesn't want any special treatment.

Someone?

Lu Fei, when did you change your name to "Someone?"

Just eat yours.

What are you doing?

Hurry and eat.

The sales of the autumn series was completely below the expectations.

What's going on?

I think that it's because the brand promotions weren't done well.

The sales performance was bad, but the main fault is at the branding department and not the sales department?

That doesn't seem logical.

Based on the feedback of our store employees,

the customers only saw the prices upon entering the store.

Only then, did they know what our products for this season was.

Didn't you give our frequent clients a new product picture book?

I emailed them already.

Not enough.

I suggest that the branding department should come up with a new promotional proposal.

Director Ai, how come you never look for problems within your own department?

This is the sales report for the last two weeks.

No hot items were released this season.

Then does the problem come from the design department,

branding department, or our sales department?

There is no point for us to keep blaming each other here.

Our main purpose is to sell the shoes well.

I'll leave you two to your work.

Old Yang, I really need the latest sales data of Kafu and Baimei.

I know. Market expansion is in-charge of opening new stores

and not giving out information.

But you are familiar with people from the different huge malls.

Help me get one, please.

Zhao Chao is my ex, but I can't go beg him.

If it's inconvenient for you to help me openly, just connect me with the right people.

Thanks, Old Yang.

Rest first before working again.

Or do you want one cup of Luckin Coffee?

Okay. No sugar.

Okay.

Okay. It will be here in ten minutes.

Xiaomei, help check where Ma Liang is working now.

He's not using his past number anymore.

I can't contact him.

What? I haven't lived here for two months and you're increasing my rent?

When I rented you this room, it was already very cheap.

Go around and ask.

How much is the rent in this area now?

Moreover, you caused water to enter this room last time.

I didn't even ask for a compensation from you.

How much are you increasing it to?

Not much. Just $30 a month.

$30 isn't even enough for a white-collar to eat now.

Fine, just increase it then.

Anyway, I'm just in transition and won't be living here that long.

Yes. You're young and beautiful.

Hurry up and look for a rich boyfriend.

Move within the Second Ring Road and live in mansions.

My landlord is increasing my rent and mocking me.

I don't want to live here anymore.

I'm so miserable being alone.

I so want to have a boyfriend right now.

Enough. Stop getting angry.

She even dared to oppose the main thrust of the headquarters;

hence, it's nothing for her to complain about your branding department.

This is actually just a pretense.

Do you know what's her real motive is?
