[bunniefuu]

Speed up!

Hey, Wang, let it roar!

Here it goes!

(Hualin Taxi)

Sorry to keep you waiting.

I'm old and slow, but not my driving.

(Hualin Mall)

(For Hire)

(Pause)

=Chapter 1=
=A train lost in autumn=

(Drivers' Lounge)

(Hualin 2016)

Two meat and one veg?

Make it two veg.

I'm sitting there all day.

I don't deserve meat.

What can I offer you?

One meat and one veg.

Thanks.

(What's up?)

You tell me.

It's time for your shift.

You're late.

(Finish your meal and come out.)

(I'm right outside.)

A 2012 cab with a little over 40,000 km mileage,
that's practically a new car.

Hear the door clank.

It's legit, man.

Only thick plates make heavy sounds.

It's time for your shift.

What are you bragging about?

Hey, there.

Whose cab is that?

It's mine, of course.

Here you go.

See?

Took that photo earlier.

Am I hot or what?

(Hualin Taxi Driver Certificate)

(Gong Biao)
Is it awesome?

An individual license.

What about the company's car
this afternoon?

You can continue if you want.

Otherwise, hire someone else and fast.

I'll still pay my share for this month.

How much is the car?

180k for the car and the license.

Last night,

I talked with the seller over drinks.

When we finished, he said we're buddies.

I didn't intend to take advantage of him
and closed the deal at 150k.

Is it under your name now?

Yep.

Transferred it this morning.

What's wrong?

It's good.

The car's got water damage
and an engine overhaul.

Hey, wait!

Just...

Just open it and take a closer look.

After I refill my thermos.

What an idiot!

It looks new to me!

What's so funny?

That guy's not picking up!

What a pig!

It's got engine oil leaks
and a faulty gearbox.

What should I do?

What else can you do?

I'll fix it up later.

I bought it mostly for the license,
you know?

Better sooner than later.

The price keeps rising,

I'm telling you.

It's a good deal.

Where did you get the money?

Was it Liru's secret stash?

We're married.

We share everything.

Also, the more I make,
the more I can give it to her, yeah?

But don't tell her yet.

Keep it secret.

I'm not like you.

Hello. Who is this?

Say what?

(Copies of Traffic Violations
6th Road, Tiexi District)

First day on the road?

Hitting the victim to k*ll the guy?

I don't think so.

Maybe he did that on purpose.

Is that so?

Of course not!

That wasn't me!

Is 357F your car?

(Hualin Taxi)

No scratches, or scrapes.

You saw in the video
that the car hit the guy like this, right?

No dent marks, either.

Also,
that car got that thing on the back.

Right here.

There was a yellow sticker.

Remember that?

Do you see it here?

I was at Transport Management Hall
to finish the transfer all morning.

How could I hit someone in Tiexi?

So someone else got your plate.

How ridiculous!

Wait, what's that supposed to mean?

What do I mean?

Use your brain!

Sir, could it be
that someone got a fake plate?

We can't rule that one out yet.

You can report it to the police.

Meanwhile, we'll keep your car
until we see the victim

and find out what happened.

OK.

Let's go.

Dude, wait, he got a fake-licensed car.

Why are you keeping mine?

Let me go.

Look, don't do this, OK?

Call me and I'll come anytime.

Hey, hey, let go!

Please!

Don't argue with the police.

Money spent and lesson learned.

Come on. Be careful next time.

Why me?

Someone else used a fake plate!

What did I do wrong?

Zip it!

I've heard enough.

You've never said anything useful.

Enough!

Hey, keep it down!

We're working!

Where's the victim?

So I can't get my car back
until he comes?

He's in hospital.

Is he dead?

You're a moron!

How can anyone be so stupid?

Hey, where are you going?

And which hospital?

We've got several patients hit by cars.

Which one are you looking for?

You got anyone who was hit by a cab?

(Transfusion Hall)

Staff only. Step back.

I can recognize the injury, not the car.

Bed 15 needs fresh dressing.

The guy got hit at 10 a.m.

on 6th Road, Tiexi District.

I've told you

I need that person's name
or other characteristics.

But the problem is

I don't know his name, either.

Left leg got hit and injured in
a pair of black pants which got torn open.

Does that count?

Yes.

Over there. Bed 27.

Thanks.

Bed 27.

Where is he?

Excuse me. Where's the patient here?

I saw him just now.

Maybe he went to the bathroom.

Wait.

The needle is out.

How is he?

Let me check.

Cuts and bruises. No fractures.

All have been taken care of.

He's fine.

Are you his friends?

Sort of.

Let me see that.

Sorry, you can't.

Hey, Miss, when will your shift be over?

It depends.

Where do you live?

Don't get me wrong.

It's hard to get a cab in the evening.

We can friend each other on WeChat.

I can pick you up.

Why should I let you?

I work for the taxi company.

Don't worry.

I'm kind of a public servant, too.

Is there a discount?

You bet!

Sounds good.

Should I scan your code or you do it?

I've got mine.

You do it.

That's a nice photo of you.

Not retouched?

No.

Are you gonna scan it or what?

Sure.

Come on.

Let me see.

Scanning it now.

All done.

OK.

You got it?

Accept my request.

Yeah, yeah, sure.

You were so slow!

It was too loud.

Rip, rip, rip...

(Guiying BBQ)

(Hualin No. 3 Hospital Patient Registration
Lin Muhua)

(Unknown Number)

(Sorry,
the number you've dialed is unavailable.)

(Please...)

Hey, save me some!

You've emptied the whole plate
so quickly!

They can be overcooked.

Here you go.

It's the correct number.

I don't understand!

Why did the victim run away?

In case they paid his medical bill?

Excuse me.

One grenade, please.
[*"Grenade" here is a drink.]

Let's go to the Traffic Police tomorrow.

The victim's gone.

Why bother to investigate?

Lin Muhua.

Yep, we can't find him
when his name is an alias.

You don't know that?

How can you be so sure?

Can't have backstraps without a sip.

You'll drive, yeah?

Read it backward.

Hua Mulin.

Or Hualin.
[*"Hua" and "Mu" also read "Hua" in Chinese.]

We'll continue driving your cab
in turns.

Remember to keep your mouth shut.

Do not say a word to Liru
that my car got detained.

There's more than one way to Rome.

It's hard to find that guy,
but not the car.

You're stoned and overconfident.

Even the cops can't find it.

How could you?

It's just a fake-licensed car.

Don't forget what we do.

Hualin isn't too big.

We'll find it.

Open it!

We've got friends.

(Hualin Taxi)

While you're on the road, look for a car

357F.

Yep.

HUAAW357F

He got my plate number.

Once you see that plate
or a yellow sticker

on the back of his car,
call me immediately.

Hit it if you spot the car.

I'll pay for the repair.

Sir...

Wait a sec.

What a punk!

Who did you call a punk?

Not you.

You forgot to turn at that corner.

We've passed It.

Sorry, man.

Hey, gotta go.

I've stopped the meter.

(For Hire)
I'll turn around over there.

(Bulletin Board)

(Looking for a Car)

I'm so pissed!

I know!

Unbelievable!

Hey, hang up.

The gas station is right over there.

Hey, talk to you later.

I'm next to a gas station.

Get out.

Are you taking the wheel?

I'm needed elsewhere this afternoon.

You can keep looking.

Go ahead then.

I need the car.

If you take it, what about me?

Hire a cab!

You...

You do it!

Why me? I've got mine.

You almost ripped my jacket.

That's a smudge.

I'll clean it.

Close the door. Don't let the wind in.

We've got a visitor?

Ms. Xu is here.

She used to sell cold noodles
behind our factory.

Do you remember?

The first one from the entrance?

Wasn't that a dumpling shop?

No, the one next to it.

The smaller one?

I liked your spicy bellflower root
and ordered it a lot.

Are you still running the shop?

Not me, my mom's doing it.

Did you touch my insulin pen?

Of course not!

It's not on the right line.

How's your business?

That braised bone shop across the hall
has developed a chain.

A chicken rib used to be 2.5 yuan,
but now, it's four times more.

Hey, what's for dinner?

I'm good.

I'm on a diet.

Whip something up yourself.

I'd like a bowl of noodles.

Fry some scallion. Easy-peasy.

I'm busy.

Make whatever you like.

I'm drained after driving all day.

Hurry up.

How are your eyes?

Not too bad.

Bad weather again.

When will it stop?

Liru,
why not open your own beauty salon?

You'll have enough space and less noise.

Already on it.

It's just that the rent is too high.

True.

You'll be working for the landlord.

That's stupid.

Why bother?

I'm trying to make things work
at home for now.

Think long term.

Clients expect good service.

If you do everything at home,
it'll get crowded and loud.

Is the TV too loud?

I'll turn it down.

Sorry.

What?

It's already on mute.

Now, I can't even see the image?

Go pick up some scallion.

Don't you want to have noodles?

I can eat them without it.

Plain noodles are fine.

Go!

I'll finish here in 30 minutes.

Stop talking.

You're annoying.

Take a walk downstairs.

I can't even watch TV at home.

Ms. Xu, are you gonna stay for dinner?

I don't mind.

My pigeons haven't been fed.

That eye is almost done.

It's OK. Don't move.

Keep staying still.

Here you go.

Hey, can you do something
about your pigeons?

Like what?

They're caged.

I mean their poop.

It stinks!

I can't take it!

Pigeons are tiny.

They don't smell.

Besides, their feed is all organic.

I don't smell anything.

Do you have a nose problem?

The roof is a public area,
but look how messy it is!

Can you be less selfish?

The public area belongs to all of us,
including me, right?

My breed is rare.

The zoo doesn't even have it,
and now, you're seeing it for free.

- You're lucky!
- Unreasonable!

No one else is complaining.

Come on.

Eat up.

Don't listen to her.

Wang Bei, what are you doing?

Come here.

Are those packs in the right place?

Seriously, what are you here for?

Did you come without your brain?

Listen, if it happens again,
you'll be fired.

Sorry, Manager.

Fix it.

How can I help you, sir?

Let him do it.

What do you want?

Gum.

Two yuan.

No small change?

No.

You can pay with your phone.

Don't know how.

And this.

9.5 yuan.

Here you go.

Sir?

I'm paying for it.

Don't you have change?

I don't want to use it.

Here's 100.

Is there a problem?

Can't break it.

Ask others!

What's wrong?

Is everything OK?

Can you break 100 or not?

Sure, no problem.

Do it, Wang Bei!

A word.

Sure.

Let's go.

Yeah.

Stop messing with me, OK?

I won't.

I enjoy seeing you mad.

Come on, Dad.

My manager is watching me.

I need to go.

She isn't here.

Take a break with me.

I was testing you.

You gotta be tough outside.

If you can't handle someone like me,
what about those drunkards

or street punks?

I know what to do.

People like you are few.

Really?

Stop. I drew it.

No wonder your manager scolded you.

You did everything but work.

Have you told her
that we're going to Beijing?

We're leaving next week.

I've booked the tickets.

You're going, too?

I can go and take the exam myself.

Been there, done that.

I have to go.

I'll be there with you and you'll
get in the Art Academy in one shot.

You should take some time off.

so that you can study
or practice your drawing at home.

Tell your manager
this is your last week.

So you can't break 100?

I don't believe it!

Your exam won't take too much time.

We can make a travel plan.

List all those places you want to go.

After the exam, we can cover
every corner of Beijing.

You know what?

I do have a few spots in mind.

That's great.

(Hey, where are you?)

(Come over now!)

Slow down...

(Shengtai Auto Repair)

Are you sure?

357F with a yellow sticker on the back
and a dent mark on the hood.

Is anyone in the car?

See for yourself.

Are there other gates?

Just this one.

OK.

That guy's doomed!

Wait!

What are you doing, Biao?

What's the plan?

My plan is to k*ll him!

You can't!

I... I... I...

I can't let him go!

Come on!

Hey, take this.

You don't know where he is.

Don't get all worked up.

Once we're in, you're on your own.

Stop it.

Wait here, you two.

I'll go and take a look.

See how many they are.

Call me if you need backup.

Back.

Don't get in the way!

Back! This isn't a train.

What are you doing?

How clumsy!

Apologies.

I'm old and half-blind.

I knocked it off.

Is this your car?

Mine or others', you gotta pay.

The bumper is off.

No worries.

My insurance will cover it.

Where's the driver?

I'll talk to him.

No need.

You can talk to me.

I...

Sir, the driver just left.

The pipe is still warm.

Who are you?

Can you stop talking?

I'm a nobody, humble as anyone else
but older and clumsier.

Look, give me a grand and you can go.

Wait...

Hey,

I have to bust my chops
to make that amount of money.

We can't let the insurance company win,
right?

Give me that guy's number.

I'll negotiate with him,

OK?

His number?

Don't have it.

Then tell me what he looks like.

How old is he, please?

Do me a favor.

Stop the car, Biao!

Get out.

Get out and I'll k*ll you!

Now!

You almost ran over me!

Awesome!

Xiang is badass!

My cousin-in-law used to drive trains.

That punk is toast.

Clearly, you can drive.

Then why did you
hit that guy on the road?

Stay put.

The door's stuck.

You can't open it from the inside.

Let me help you.

Your shoe!

Go ahead!

Keep going!

Here you go.

Put on your shoe!

Stop it
and I'll put in a good word for you

at the police station.

You rat!

Kid's got skills!

(Qiaoyun Massage)

Right there. Easy.

Are you still young?

Act your age!

A car chase?

Really?

Had he seen you were alone, stopped the car,
and fought you, what would you do?

He's guilty of using a fake license.

I'm not afraid.

Good prevails over evil.

Biao bought the car,
so let him handle it.

You stay out of this mess.

Him?

He has more bark than bite.

He can't do anything.

Whoosh! I drifted and stopped
that punk's car.

I picked up a stone
and meant to whack him, you know?

I thought

I had him for good.

But he slipped out from the back.

He was good.

Then he ran straight into the cornfield.

Your feet.

I like such smell.

The smell of what?

Disinfectant.

Loved it when I was a kid.

It makes me feel safe and secure.

Use chopsticks.

You got nothing to eat at home again?

Noodles with fried scallion.

Don't like it.

Too greasy.

So what are you gonna do?

What else can I do?

Both the driver and the victim are gone.

Gotta leave it to the Traffic Police.

Did you ask Xiang?

He can talk the talk.

That's it.

Pack your staff and go to Beijing
with Wang Bei for his exam.

You've got a pension.

Why not sit and relax at home
and mind your own business?

If I were you,

I'd close this shop.

People are complicated.

You're fine when you have things to do.

And you're uncomfortable
when there's none.

What are you doing?

Get down.

I'll give you another rub.

Spread your arms.

Oh, OK.

If you're tired,
you can stay the night here.

Can't you show a little compassion?

Go home and ask your wife for it.

The thing about marriage, well,
it's not that simple, you know, Xuelu?

My weakest spot of all
is that I'm too nice.

You'll see
when we know each other better.

I'll pass.

You're annoying!

I'm checking your lunchbox.

The food is cold.

Wait,

I... uh...

My back is sore.

I need to sit up.

Let me sit.

Is everything OK?

What's going on?

Nothing. Let me sit.

I was fine earlier, but now...

Give me a minute.

Let me go get you some soup
from the congee shop nearby.

No, thanks.

Almost done.

Cold food will give you a stomachache.

You don't feel it because you're young.

It'll come back to you when you get old.

You don't need to go!

Be good.

Tomato and egg soup or seaweed soup?

Whatever. Surprise me.

OK.

Be right back.

Lock the door.

Is it closed?

What can I offer you?

Xuelu!

Eat it while it's hot.

Got you a boiled egg, too.

You said that guy got hit
by the fake-licensed car.

Where was he injured?

His leg. Why?

Someone came to buy medicine just now.

He didn't say anything and showed me
what he wanted on his phone.

When he left,

I noticed a slight limp.

And the medicine he asked for
was for trauma.

What does he look like?

He kept his head down,
so I didn't get a good look.

But I snapped a photo of his back.

Look.

The two drugs he needs are out of stock.

I got his number to contact him later.

Send me the photo.

Night shift again?

Isn't it better to study at home?

I can do that at work.

Few people come at night.

Give me a voice call when you get there.

Let me know.

Got it.

Go back to sleep, Dad.

(Xiang, Xiang,)

(I found something
at Xuelu's drugstore.)

(A guy came to buy medicine
but acted all sneaky.)

(Xuelu took a photo of him.)

and deepening...)

(Hualin General Steel Works 1998)

Where are your manners?

Can't hold it!

It's gonna explode!

Go ahead.

Do it and my spot is yours.

The driver is always the boss.

Be careful, Mr. Wang.

I'm dying!

It's coming out!

So that guy's gone?

Afraid so.

No wonder those coking coal shops
are so quiet these days.

After that Hong Kong businessman left,
the furnaces were shut down.

They're staging a strike.

Mr. Wang, is everything gonna be OK?

Why not?

Hualin Steel isn't any factory.

Others might close, but not us.

Don't worry.

Stop yapping.

Come and rub my back.

Enough!

Come out now!

Stop yelling.

Will it solve anything?

Listen, get out of here.

File your complaints
via proper channels.

Like that will work!

Where's the head of the shop?

We demand a solution!

Yes!

That's right!

- Calm down, guys.
- Yes, come on!

We can talk it over,

OK?

That's him!

Settle down.

There he is.

Come out.

No more hiding.

Come.

Come here.

Is this your director?

Yes!

It's him.

He's the guy!

Alright. Be quiet.

Go ahead.

Talk to them.

Calm down and listen.

Management said
we'll resume when the material arrives.

Resume?

Don't fool us!

Without that businessman,
we won't have any material.

We'll find him.

You have to trust the police.

My name is Ma Desheng.

Now, I'm in charge of this case.

Whatever.

Your name means nothing!

Shut up, or you'll be arrested first!

Come again?

Calm down!

Enough!

Back off!

I said back off!

Dumpster diving so early?

What a mess!

Check out that pile of trash.

You think you'll strike gold?

We share a community.

Gotta keep it nice and clean.

You're retired, but your morals aren't.

Put everything back when you're done.

Smells OK.

Who's decocting herbs
early in the morning?

I'd like congee after a night shift.

Is this our breakfast?

Bitter and yucky!

My...

My left lung is aching.

I can't breathe.

Could it be TB,

I mean?

You're having all sorts of problems
every day.

Nothing works for you.

Where's Wang Yang?

Still sleeping.

Maybe

I should go to the factory hospital
and get an X-ray.

Do you own the hospital?

Getting an X-ray?

Get me some cucumbers.

Cucumbers for breakfast?

My mouth is dry.

When did Wang Yang get home last night?

After midnight, I think.

That black sheep!

Wang Yang!

Wang Yang!

Get up!

What did you do last night?

Nothing.

I hung out with my friends.

Your friends
don't hang out with others all day.

Come and eat.

Don't be so lazy.

Go get a plate.

Will that make it taste better?

No, but I'll feel better
when eating fried dough sticks from a plate.

Yeah, because you don't wash it.

Lazybones!

Dig in, Yang.

I'd like some rice with water, Mom.

The sticks are still hot. They're good.

You have to eat water-soaked rice?

It cools me down.

Are you feeling hot?

It's autumn already.

Stop eating cold food.

You don't have the palate for it.

What about like father, like son?

Back in the day when the factory
was making a k*lling, they made fat pork

for us to eat at breakfast.

I couldn't have enough of it.

My eyelid's twitching. Yikes!

Does it say conjunctivitis
or a bad omen?

First, TB, and now, conjunctivitis?

You're fine.

That thing in your heart is worth
a Santana, more than this building's worth.

Knock it off!

Like I want it.

Would any healthy people
want stents in there?

And they cost tens of thousands!

Do I want to spend it?

I'm sick of you nagging all morning.

Are you done? What's your point?

Will you stop?

Don't be mad.

It's bad for your heart.

If that "Santana" of yours breaks down,
so will I.

When will we be reimbursed
by the factory for the stents?

They've been holding it back for years.

It's been so long.

Are they still gonna pay us?

Listen, a giant like Hualin Steel
won't be so cheap.

You're worrying too much.

I'm done.

You've barely touched it.

Where are you going?

Out for a walk.

I need some space.

What's wrong with the kids these days?

He needs more space?

There's plenty at home.

Back then, my family had to make do
in a 16-square-meter hut.

And yours, was it

14 square meters?

Isn't your mouth dry?

Come on, finish the cucumbers.

Shush.

Today's your lucky day.

The meat is all yours.

You'll have a feast.

Come here!

Come on!

Stand straight.

Did you hit me?

No.

Come again?

It's fine even if it was you.

You were aiming at
that director behind me, right?

Your precision was way off.

So what did you use?

A self-made slingshot?

Impressive!

You meant to be a hero?

Which shop is your dad in?

Coking coal?

Now, you're scared?

We'll take your slingshot.

But next time...

Next time,

I'll tell your dad to come and get you.

Off you go.

Wait!

Give it back.

Work on your skills.

So naughty!

I was more of a guard
than a police officer.

Are you OK?

I'm good.

I need to head back.

You stay and watch.

Is there a new case?

I'll go with you.

Li Qun can run point.

Can he?

Yeah.

Of course.

Step back! Back off!

Guys, listen, listen to me!

Look, listen,

I've contacted your manager,

OK?

He will take care of everything...

Li Qun, Li Qun, stay with them!

Keep a close watch!

He'll be here soon,

OK?

Stop pushing!

Yes, you!

Wang Xiang!

Wang Xiang!

Hey, wake up.

Wake up!

What now? I just dozed off.

Go and take a look.

Why?

I heard the police cars coming.

I'm nervous.

Why? You didn't do anything wrong.

Listen.

It's still ringing.

Hey, you're everywhere, aren't you?

Is that your kid?

Such things aren't for kids.

Just go.

Coming through.

Step aside.

Stay back.

Hey, dude.

What?

I mean Jianchun,

Section Chief Xing, what's going on?

Why?

I don't need to report to you.

Do you remember

I'm an elected vigilante?

Oh, give me a break!

You're elected?

When?

Where's your certificate?

And the armband?

Don't need one.

I know my duty.

Step back.

You should leave.

Excuse me.

Is there anyone
with the Security Section?

Right here.

I'm the Section Chief,

Xing Jianchun.

Hello, sir.

Perfect.

Let's go inside the house.

And I need to ask you a few questions.

Go inside?

Is there blood in the house?

I... I... Well...

It's...

it's not like I'm scared,
but when I see blood,

I get dizzy.

And you're working in Security?

It's not like every day...

May I help you, officers?

Who are you?

He works here as an engine driver
and an elected vigilante.

He's legit.

He can help you.

Fine, let's go.

OK.

So you're...?

Wang Xiang,

"Xiang" as "loud".

Come here.

Captain Ma, here he is,
an elected vigilante by the factory.

Where are you going?

The scene is off-limits.

Stay here.

Yes, sir.

He's not in Security?

No.

That guy can't see blood.

Oh, let me introduce him to you.

Captain Ma of the Criminal Police Unit
under the Public Security Bureau.

Hello, Captain Ma. Wang Xiang here.

Is that a bruise?

I'm going in.

Captain Ma, from now on,
we're on the same side.

Let me know if you need anything.

Please, make yourself at home.

Is that evidence? What case is it?

How bad?

Dismemberment. Bad enough for you?

How much did you eat?

I'm good.

I'm fine.

Just having the seasonal flu.

The wind makes me sick,
but it's temporary.

How long have you been working here?

I started at 18 to take my dad's post.

It's been 30 more years.

Occupation?

Engine driver.

Driving trains for the factory?

You're a big shot.

Well, they do respect me.

Are you familiar with this area?

Yes.

We've got six living quarters here.

This is the first one
with some 20 buildings of four stories.

This is Building 4.

I live in Building 6.

And that lady...

Sun Guilan, a retired worker.

Her kids live in the provincial capital,
so she's here alone.

She goes through trash a lot
to find things to sell.

I've told her off more than once.

You told her off?

You see,

I'm also an elected environmentalist.

Alright.

They'll give you my pager number.

If there's anything new,
just let me know.

I'm Ma Desheng. Thanks for your help.

Coming through!

Make a way!

Step aside.

Easy, easy. Make a way!

You took one for the team?

Was the k*ller still there?

Not that bad.

Don't worry.

Enough.

Stop talking.

You almost puked your lungs out.

Come on!

Let's go. To the ambulance!

Come on!

Oh, hey, aren't you in Security?

Go with him.

I'm needed here.

This is a major case.

As the head of Security,

I gotta stay and protect others.

What to do?

Hey, you, Factory Affairs Office, right?

Go with him.

I like the smell of disinfectant.

It's good.

Really?

I liked it when I was little.

I went to the hospital
with my mom a lot.

Such smell is soothing.

Is that

D5W?

You studied medicine?

No.

My mom got sick a lot,
so I'm kinda self-taught.

I work in the Factory Affairs Office.

Gong Biao. They just assigned me here.

You were assigned?

Yes.

What's your background?

Bachelor at Hualin Institute of Technology.

My major matches this job.

Lie down, Mr. Wang.

You know me?

Like I said I'm in Factory Affairs
and I saw your name

in the history of our factory.

Yeah.

I accidentally made a name for myself.

Lie down.

You know what happened?

Don't move.

To celebrate International Labor Day,

I, a model worker,
got to meet with our management team

and officials
of the Municipal Party Committee.

It was nothing. I almost forgot.

Then lie down.

I got you.

Oh, Liru, give me the spittoon!

Are you OK?

Stop talking.

You're...

You know each other?

She's my wife's cousin.

Cousin, you say?

That's pretty close.

Use this.

Here you go.

Are you OK?

Did you eat something bad?

I'm good.

Don't worry.

Just a seasonal gastric disorder.

Happens only once a year.

That's manageable.

Or, it's a disaster.

Captain Ma.

What do you know?

The body's severely damaged.

Only fractured bones and limbs
are found.

Preliminary analysis says
the victim is a female at a young age.

Hey!

Hey!

Freshman?

Yes.

Which department?

Nursing.

Me too.

I'm on the orientation team.

Are you going to your dorm?

Come on.

Follow me.

This way, this way.

No, thanks.

I'm fine.

Thank you.

Hey!

Wait!

What's so funny?

What went wrong?

Was it my hair?

A new semester's begun.

Are you going back to school or not?

I won't.

I'm not built for studying.

Or, I would've been in college by now.

Besides, I've looked around.

Going to college isn't that fun.

Then what's your plan?

I'm not sure.

Don't have one yet.

My cousin's karaoke is hiring waiters.

You can make some pocket money
instead of doing nothing.

We'll see.

I'm finally out of school.

I'd like to chill out for a while.

That one.

She's OK.

That's my type.

Hello.

Which department?

Pharmacy.

It's that way. I'll show you.

Thanks.

Give me that.

It's OK.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Do you know where Building 8 is?

I'm not a student here.

Thanks.

Did he harass you?

No. I was asking for directions.

Are you our student?

Your school was my first pick.

I've been watching you.

Go to the Security Office with me.

- Wait, sir...
- Come on!

Wait!

Hold on!

Hey, may I know your name?

It's Shen Mo.

Shen Mo...

Hey, son, let's eat.

Are you cold?

It's autumn. Put on more layers.

Let me go get you a heater.

Alright.

Dinner first.

There's fish, stewed green beans,
and stewed cabbage with vermicelli.

They're all your favorites.

Let me go get rice.

Rice with water again?

Son, that guy is back.

I saw him.

I promise that I will finish
what's left undone.
