=Episode 26=

Jin,

did you go to a wedding

with your boyfriend yesterday?

How did you know?

See?

I told you it was her boyfriend.

You two

tricked me?

No.

I saw a photo

on my ex-colleague's Moments.

What photo?

You two have sharp eyes.

It's a shame

you're not in criminal investigation.

Who is the guy?

Do we know him?

Is there a photo from the front?

Judging from his back,

he looks pretty handsome.

Did you finish revising your proposal?

Get back to your work.

- Jin

- Jin

I have a conference call later. I'm off.

- Jin.

- Tell us, please.

We won't tell anyone.

Send me the proposal before the meeting.

What's this smell?

Smells like happiness, right?

Can you see that?

Is that Li Wu?

Him?

I don't think so.

What's wrong with your eyes?

How can you not tell it's him?

It's clearly Li Wu.

That's not the point.

The point is,

why are they holding hands?

That's not normal.

Something's going on.

From recycling

and resource reuse,

it can provide data to make a decision.

This whole afternoon

has been really insightful.

I'll sort out

the ideas.

If there's anything I don't understand,

I'll ask you again.

Alright.

Go get busy.

Thank you, Professor Liu.

I won't keep you any longer.

Alright.

Incorrect password.

Zero nine zero three.

You're here, Mrs. Cen.

Wu.

You're home?

Not at work?

I'm done for the day,

so I came back early

for a conference call.

Go ahead and work.

I came to visit Jin

and brought her some food.

It's fine.

I'm done with work.

I'll help you bring these in.

Sure.

What's wrong with this lock?

I'll do it.

Don't worry. I got it.

I always get it wrong.

You've been away so long,

and you still remember the password?

Well

Yeah.

Well,

I didn't remember it before either.

It's just that

I live nearby,

so, when I help Sister

take parcels

or something,

she told me.

Right, taking parcels.

A few days ago,

I told Jin

that since you two live right across,

you can look out for each other.

See?

Yeah.

Yes. Right.

Please come in.

Good.

Mrs. Cen, do you want me

to put these in the fridge?

Yes.

Wu,

you've been living right across

for so long,

and I've never been to your place.

I'd like to take a look.

Can I?

Of course.

I haven't had time

to show you around.

Then

I'll show you around.

Sure.

Let's go.

Mrs. Cen.

It's quite spacious.

Not bad.

I like your style.

Bedroom?

Yes, bedroom.

Very nice.

For a guy,

you really keep things tidy.

Yeah.

Bathroom?

Yes, bathroom.

Not bad.

I like this style.

Not bad.

Yeah.

Did you go to a wedding with Jin?

Yes.

Sister said

she had to attend a client's wedding

and needed someone to tag along,

so I went

with her.

Look at her.

She's

troubling you.

It's not trouble.

She always

looks out for me.

Helping her

is the least I can do.

This shirt is nice.

Cen Jin has one, too.

Really?

This is a basic style.

Basic white shirt.

Everyone wears it to work.

I always bump into people

wearing the same thing.

You get back to your work.

I'll head back.

Pretty good.

I like this place.

Right.

Let me walk you out, Mrs. Cen.

Well

You're only wearing one layer.

Aren't your legs cold?

Where's the button?

Coming.

You're home early today.

No overtime?

Looks like the system issue

got fixed.

You're in a good mood.

Have you eaten?

Come with me again.

I haven't had dinner.

Mom,

why are you suddenly here?

You haven't eaten, right?

Come in. I'll cook.

Why didn't you give me a heads-up?

I gave you the look.

Did you?

Do you want shrimp?

Yes. Coming.

No.

Listen carefully.

I don't agree.

Why not?

Why not?

How old are you?

How old is Li Wu?

When he was born,

you were old enough

to run around.

Tell me.

How am I supposed to agree to this?

He's an adult.

I'm an adult.

What's wrong

with two adults dating?

The problem is that you two adults

have too big an age gap.

Besides, your family backgrounds

and the environments you grew up in

are completely different.

It's not as simple as you think.

You'll run into

all kinds of problems

in the future, girl.

Then, we'll deal with them

when they come.

Let me ask you.

Why didn't you tell me

about Dr. Lu going away for training?

Mom,

did you

text him again?

I already explained everything to him.

Besides,

love isn't just about being compatible.

If it were that simple,

no one would still be single.

Then why was he

suddenly transferred?

That's his business.

Forget it.

You never listen anyway.

Cook for yourself.

I'm not serving you.

Mom

I

Don't eat it.

No! Don't eat any of it.

I'm taking it away.

I haven't finished eating.

This is infuriating.

Cen!

Why did you bring back

the things you gave Jin?

Don't.

Something's happened.

Something really happened.

What happened?

Cen Jin

and Li Wu.

They are together.

Really?

Of course.

Let me be clear.

I will never agree to this.

Calm down first.

Don't get worked up.

It's bad for your health.

Look.

If you ask me,

Jin is a grown-up.

Sometimes,

we parents

shouldn't control everything.

What do you mean by that?

You're her father.

How can you be so relaxed?

You know our family's situation

with Li Wu.

And the age gap between them

is huge.

Jin will definitely get hurt.

I don't think

it's that serious.

Not that serious?

Cen Qiaoyuan.

Did you know something

beforehand?

This

How would I know?

I just think

Jin is a grown-up.

She can make her own judgment.

How about this?

You calm down first.

I'll talk to her later.

You talk to her?

I won't buy that.

You'd probably

tip her off.

I won't.

You absolutely will.

I've lived with you for so long.

I know you too well.

Alright.

Enough about you.

My priority right now

is to nip whatever is going on

between them in the bud.

You.

Put everything back in the fridge.

Don't you dare tip off your daughter.

I promise we're on the same side.

You've been busy all day.

You haven't taken your meds, right?

Want me to bring it?

What did your mom say?

My mom was talking

out of anger.

I didn't take it seriously.

Don't ask.

I'm afraid she'll make things hard

for you.

She's my mom.

Why would she make things hard for me?

Besides,

you know

what she's like.

She says harsh words,

but she doesn't really mean it.

Everything will be fine

once she cools down.

If I could be more mature,

maybe she wouldn't worry so much.

Don't worry.

I'll work on it.

Compared to people your age,

you're very mature.

I'm afraid

that if you become more mature,

you'll over-ripen.

One second.

(Jin, let's hang out tomorrow.)

That's my dad, not my mom.

(Okay!)

You know

what you look like right now?

What?

When I was a kid

and had to get blood drawn,

I didn't dare look at the needle.

It looks exactly like you now.

If that's all it was,

I wouldn't be scared.

Cen Jin.

Why are you suddenly

calling my full name?

I just wanted to.

Look at your smile.

You look so much better.

Don't always frown.

Whatever happens,

we'll face it together,

alright?

Together.

So, what we need to do next is

focus on training

and run the sectional tests.

Also,

even though

we've shown the program

to Mr. Guo,

during the small-scale internal testing

these past few days,

we still found a few issues.

So over the next few days,

I'll need everyone

to patch things up where needed.

I'll compile all the problems again,

and each of you

will handle your own part.

If there are any questions,

come talk to me anytime.

I'll be doing a final check at the end.

Alright?

I'll be in the office.

Okay. That's all. We got this.

- Thanks, Wu.

- Alright, Wu.

Mr. Li.

Chenyang.

I need to talk to you.

What's wrong?

I want to resign.

Why are you suddenly resigning?

I'm sorry, Mr. Li.

I'm not capable enough.

I can't handle this job.

Chenyang,

you know

we're short-handed right now.

If you have any issues

or requests,

tell me.

I'll try my best to meet them.

No need.

I don't have any issues or requests.

Alright.

But according to the company policy,

you need to give one month's notice.

We signed this when you joined.

Besides, you're the tech team leader,

and there's confidential work involved.

I'll arrange for someone

to take over from you.

Sure.

Whatever it is.

Where are you going?

Why is Zhang Chenyang leaving?

What's with that face?

He wants to resign.

He's the tech team leader,

and he suddenly walks away

at a time like this?

This is strange.

He's determined to leave.

Feels like he has found another job.

So what are you going to do now?

We need to hire someone fast.

Do you have enough people?

Of course not.

I'll have to hire.

But whoever comes in at this stage

won't be able to keep up.

The pressure's there.

But we're

at the final stretch.

It's so close.

We can't afford mistakes now.

My plan is to get through

all the procedures first.

Once we secure the investment

from Yuanshi,

the pressure

should ease a bit.

Alright then.

I don't know technology as you do.

I'll do everything to back you up.

Jin, you're here.

When did you get here, Dad?

I just arrived, too.

You see, it's a workday, and I asked you

to come over.

You must be tired, right?

Not at all.

It's rare that I get to

have a nice meal.

Really?

You should eat more later.

Excuse me,

you can serve the dishes now.

Dad, you already know, right?

Have you seriously decided

to be with Wu?

Actually, before he went abroad,

we had already been together.

Well

Sorry.

I didn't mean to hide it

from you and Mom.

At the beginning,

when I realized he liked me,

I was conflicted.

It's not like I didn't try to resist it.

But gradually,

he won me over.

I really never thought

I'd end up with him.

But feelings are feelings.

If you like someone, you like someone.

I didn't want to lie to myself, right?

Later, because he didn't want to

be separated from me,

he hid the fact that he wanted

to give up his exchange program.

I found out,

and I broke up with him.

Hence,

he was really hurt by that.

I didn't know you and Wu

had all that history.

Can you tell me

what it is about Wu

that makes you fall in love

with him again?

Dad,

I'm not falling for him again.

I've always

liked him.

I have met

other guys

over the years.

But only Li Wu

gives me that kind of strong feeling.

How do I put it?

Someone like Lu Weiyan

is great too.

He has a decent job

and good character.

But it's just not the same.

To me, Li Wu

is exactly the kind of love

I hoped for.

Sometimes, he's so good

that it doesn't even feel real.

Every single time,

he's so genuine

and passionate.

I can't help but fall for that.

Just knowing there's someone

who will choose me,

no matter what happens,

that makes me feel very safe.

Dad,

I don't know

what the future will be like.

But at least

this is how I feel right now.

I'll be frank with you.

Before I came,

I was still unsure.

But after hearing what you just said,

my first reaction was

relief.

I finally

felt at ease.

Dad, you're not against it?

What's there to oppose?

My only hope for you now is

that you're happy.

Whoever can make my daughter happy

is fine by me.

As for Wu,

you two were apart for so long

and still ended up back together.

That means your relationship

has been tested, right?

As long as you've thought it through

and can open your heart to love him

and also feel happy with him,

I don't think

anything is more important

than that.

Dad,

stop being so sentimental.

I'm being sentimental?

Alright.

I'll stop.

I'll stop.

Thank you.

Look.

I don't know Wu

as well as you do,

but from what I've seen,

he's a good guy.

He's young,

but the way he handles things,

his personality, and his thinking

are steady.

So

I trust your judgment.

I support your choice.

And more importantly,

I'm going to

stay right by your side

and be your strongest backup.

Dad, you're the best.

Let's dig in.

As for your mom,

I'll talk to her.

You know how she is.

She's stubborn,

especially

with the whole thing

about Wu Fu before

She can't get over it

right away.

That's understandable.

But she

means well.

She just wants you

Well, I'll ladle you some soup first.

She just wants you

to find someone reliable,

so it won't be a big problem.

You have to understand her.

I know, Dad.

I don't mean to make her angry either.

So,

are you sure you can handle her temper?

We've been married for so many years.

My strategy has always been

turning hard steel into soft silk.

Everything takes time.

Don't rush it.

Then, I'm counting on you.

Alright.

I'll ladle some soup.

Try this.

These little fish are good.

Good.

Dad, I'm heading off then.

Okay.

Call me when you get home.

Got it.

Do you want to bring the food home?

You can heat it up tomorrow.

No need.

Mom likes that one. Let her have it.

Okay.

I'm off.

Be careful on the way.

I will.

Hui,

look what I bought you

on the way home.

Lin Hui?

Oh, no!

She's gearing up for a long battle.

Hello, Dad?

I just got home. Why?

You're back.

Mom? What are you doing here?

I'm having a footbath.

I saw online

that soaking before bed

helps with sleep.

Wait.

Why didn't you tell me

you were coming?

Also, your luggage

Do I have to file a report

before coming

to my own daughter's place?

I just felt like

you've been too busy lately

that you don't have time to come home

for dinner.

I thought

maybe I should move in for a while

and take care of you.

Stop eating all that instant junk

and takeout.

This is better, isn't it?

I can cook at home, and when you come back,

you'll have a hot meal.

Mom, you don't need to.

My work hours aren't fixed.

My schedule doesn't match

your time at all.

It's fine.

I'm free anyway.

If you can't make it back,

I'll bring dinner to your office.

No, don't do that.

I'll come home

for dinner.

Do you want to soak your feet like me?

I brought a bunch of herbal packs.

I'm tired. I'm going to bed.

(Here's something

I want to share with you.)

(Relationships with big age gaps)

(often come with very different

worldviews, values,)

(and life experiences.)

(Those differences make it hard

to truly understand each other.)

(In the end,

the relationship usually falls apart.)

(Cen Jin: My mom came.)

(Are you asleep?)

Hello?

You're off work?

I just reached downstairs.

Did you argue with your mom?

No.

Good.

I have good news

for you.

I met my dad today.

He told me

he supports my choice.

As long as I'm happy.

Are you happy?

I am.

I'm happy every day.

Alright.

You must be tired.

Go get some rest.

What if I can't sleep?

Then lie down and rest your eyes.

But I miss you.

We live next door.

No need to be this clingy, right?

No.

Now that you say that,

I kind of miss you, too.

Do you want to come out?

I want to hug you.

Are you crazy?

Go to sleep.

Just for a bit.

Three minutes.

Are you upstairs now?

Right away.

Let's go to my place.

Okay.

Softly.

Let's go.

Where are you going?

It's 6 AM.

I need to get back

before my mom wakes up.

It's only 6 PM.

Stay with me a bit longer.

Just one minute.

Alright.

Just one minute.

One minute.

By the way,

you've been so busy lately.

Has your headache come back?

My headaches are gone.

Are you still taking the meds?

I'm alright now.

Why would I take meds?

You're my meds.

I'm serious.

Don't joke around.

I'm serious too.

My headaches are gone.

Alright, time's up.

I have to go.

If my mom wakes up,

I'm done for.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

You're up this early?

Mom,

why do you walk like a cat?

No sound at all.

What?

Should I bang gongs and drums

when I walk?

You

What are you doing?

I went out for a morning run.

Morning run?

I didn't know

you had such a good habit.

I have plenty of good habits.

You just don't know them.

Go ahead then.

I just got back.

I'm getting changed for work.

Wu.

Good morning.

Wu.

Wu.

Good morning.

Chenyang didn't come to work?

No.

Li Wu!

What's wrong?

Come here.

Take a look at yourself.

(AI Environmental System Launch Event)

(Kejun is launching a new system,)

(which uses AI environmental

protection technology)

(as support for industrial parks,)

(hospitals, high-end hotels,)

(and many other facilities.)

(Currently,)

(in the domestic)

(environmental protection

monitoring industry,)

(this is a major technological

breakthrough.)

Isn't this

our core technology?

How did Kejun

get to launch it first?

(Tongchen Trio)

(Hu Yi: Just letting you two know.)

(Due to a divergence in our management,)

(I've decided to withdraw my shares

from Tongchen.)

(My lawyer will handle)

(the follow-up matters)

(with you.)

Why did he quit now,

of all times?

Don't tell me he's behind this.

But he doesn't know anything

about technology.

Zhang Chenyang.

Zhang Chenyang?

No wonder he resigned.

I didn't expect those two pricks

to stab us in the back.

(Considering the cost issues,

including two-way data and distributed.)

How is it, Lawyer Li?

Can we sue them for infringement?

You haven't completed

the patent application process yet.

So technically,

it's hard to prove

they stole your CloudMap system.

But we have

the full R&D documentation.

Everything is timestamped.

Plus, it's obvious

that Yi is behind this.

Call him over.

I'll confront him in person!

Alright.

Calm down first.

This isn't the time to vent.

I understand how you feel.

But this timing

is really tricky.

They clearly knew

this was their best chance.

If you decide to sue,

you need to be ready

for a long fight.

How long?

It may take one to two years,

or

Even three to five years.

So during that time,

we can't do anything

or release our product?

Can we put out a statement?

I don't recommend it.

Public opinion can backfire.

And you're in the middle

of securing investment.

If they bite back,

things could spiral out of control.

(Notice of Yuanshi Capital's Withdrawal

from Tongchen Smart System Project)

Hello, Mr. Guo?

Mr. Guo?

Look,

here's the thing.

We'd like to

explain the situation to you in person.

I'm not sure if you're available.

That's alright. Tomorrow is fine.

Or the day after?

Yes, the day after is fine too.

Yes, I understand.

Yes.

This is our fault.

But I promise

we'll handle it properly.

I hope

you can give us another chance.

I understand.

Alright.

Well

I hope we can

work together again in the future.

Sure.

Yuanshi Capital?

They're pulling out.

The only good news is

they won't hold us accountable.

I'll ask my uncle, see if he can help.

No, no.

Yiyang

has helped us enough.

Don't bother him anymore.

We'll figure something out ourselves.
