[theme song playing]
Chen Miren.
Am I very overbearing, self-righteous and self-centered?
Why did you ask this question?
The result of the third quarter has come out.
It's awful.
It's all right.
There will be the fourth quarter.
As long as we work hard together, we can make it.
As you said,
we should work hard together,
but nearly all the people in the team have joined other teams.
Chao has been left alone in the team because of me.
Chen Miren.
Do you think I'm such a loser?
Well, do you think you did something wrong?
If you think you did something wrong,
just go to see them, admit your mistake,
and ask them to come back.
Will they come back?
Just give it a try, and we'll know.
Everything is possible.
Okay.
Let's go.
You asked me to come
not to tell me to give up OHH, right?
Even if I tell you to give it up, would you listen to me?
You've always been like this since childhood.
Once you've made a decision,
no one can make you change your mind.
This is your strength,
and also your weakness.
Couldn't one persist in something?
But when you persist in your own ideas,
can you also try to
understand others' persistence?
If you can try to understand others' opinions and ideas,
it can broaden your vision
and make you understand this world
from multiple perspectives.
If you act in disregard of other people's opinions,
you will only make your team
fall apart.
No, no! None of them are okay.
Redraw it.
Director, is your requirement too high?
I think those design drafts are good.
Just select one of them randomly,
and it'll still be better than other teams' design in our company.
The third quarter's promotion
has all been arranged in the fourth quarter.
If we can't design several
hot-selling products in the fourth quarter,
I'm afraid the situation won't be optimistic.
I've reflected on myself a lot these days.
I was so stubborn that
I didn't listen to your advice carefully.
I also ignored your feelings,
which led to failure.
I have to take the blame.
I'd like to
apologize to you all.
I'm sorry.
Today, I've asked you to come
in order to tell you that
in the fourth quarter,
we will resume our work,
adjust the plan,
and start all over again.
I sincerely hope that you can come back
and join us again.
I also hope that
you can trust me one more time.
Okay. With what you said,
I'll accept it if you ask me to revise the draft.
Right. I got tired of staying in the team next door long ago.
I've long wanted to come back.
Mr. Zhong, we trust you.
Let's work hard together.
Come on. Let's work hard together.
Come on.
One, two, three. Go for it!
Chen Miren. How many more products do we need to pack?
It's almost done. There are the last 100 pieces.
Hello?
500 more pieces?
Okay. I'll try my best.
Chen Miren. It's only been a few minutes,
and 500 products have been sold again?
Your action figures sell so well.
Hello?
We're out of stock now.
It will take about 13 days
for the factory to process the products.
Okay. I'll write it down.
I'll send them to you at once when the goods arrive.
Chen Miren, you're famous now.
Miao. So I have a gift for design, right?
Of course. I've said it 100 times.
When I was in Heng Chang Ji,
I almost thought that I was not suitable to be a designer.
Bah! That's because you encountered workplace mental control.
Don't deny yourself
just because of a few words said by others.
Hello?
Yes, I designed that.
Really?
Okay. Let me check my email box now.
How many pieces have you sold this time?
WE'D LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO COME FOR AN INTERVIEW
Miao.
The Super Future Action Figures Company asked me to go for an interview.
This company ranks sixth in the industry.
Really?
There's a call for you.
Hello.
This is Chen Miren.
Miracle Animation?
Interview? I have time.
Hello?
Yes.
I have time.
Hello.
Tomorrow?
I have time.
Chen Miren.
Designer Chen.
No, Master Chen.
You've told seven companies that
you'll have time for an interview tomorrow.
There are seven companies?
I'll have all the interviews tomorrow?
Miao.
Which company do you think I should go to?
Of course you should go to your favourite company.
My favourite company?
Your favourite company is still Heng Chang Ji, right?
Actually, no matter where I go,
I'll still be a designer, right?
It'll be the same.
Director Yu suddenly asked all of us to gather together.
What's going on?
I've heard that it's about the product strategy for the next quarter,
and he has something important to announce.
What can he announce?
If we buy his action figures,
we'll get a photo with his autograph?
Sorry, everyone.
I'm late.
Today, I've asked you to come,
because I have something important to announce.
All this time,
our project team has ranked first in the company in terms of sales volumes.
We've been looking for
more possibilities in design, too.
This is also a plan which I've been preparing for.
Now I think it's time to realize it.
MR. HIRAI
In the next quarter,
we will cooperate with Hirai, the famous
Japanese designer of action figures,
to release a series of jointly-designed action figures.
We'll cooperate with Hirai?
With Hirai's influence,
the annual sales champion
will surely be our team.
Hirai is a world-famous
top-level designer for action figures.
Hasn't this old guy announced his retirement?
How did Yu Dawei persuade him to do this?
Well, Zhong Wei,
I think these several design drafts are pretty good.
No.
They are just so ordinary.
It's been a few days.
You didn't like any of them.
What kind of design do you want?
I don't require too many design skills,
but they need to have their own style.
Their works
can reflect something they want to express,
and they can also make people feel touched.
Most importantly,
they need to make people feel warm.
This kind of person you described
is a top and chief designer in the world.
Where can we find him?
Do you think I can do it?
Is Chen Miren okay?
Sure.
Fine. If you think she's okay, she's okay.
As I said last time, I've changed the design. It's not okay.
What should we do now?
There's nothing we can do.
Well, let's just do nothing.
Let me introduce a new colleague to you.
Hello, everyone.
I'm Chen Miren.
Nice to meet you.
Hello.
Welcome.
What's its name?
Lucky.
Come here.
Come on.
The object which can accompany a person is not necessarily a cute animal.
An old TV set
and a watch that has stopped working
can both become the objects for accompanying us.
That makes sense.
Each of us has an old item that has accompanied us for a long time.
If we make them into action figures,
it will definitely trigger people's feelings for the old days.
We can give it life, anthropomorphize it,
and create a complete world view.
Yes.
We can also randomly offer some small gifts for buying our products,
for example, a cartoon band-aid,
or a mini heating pad,
so that the customers who have bought our products
can truly feel
the warmth of being accompanied.
That's a creative idea.
I think the gift can be a hot-water bag.
It's good, right?
You might as well give our customers a heater.
Then I'll give them a thermos.
To make goji berries tea?
I'll give them ginger tea with brown sugar.
I'll give them a pressure cooker.
I'll put the pressure cooker inside here.
No. I have to put this inside the pressure cooker.
Then I'll pour your goji berries tea into it.
Then I'll...
That's too dangerous.
For this cat, actually, I think we can add some
other elements to it.
This seems a bit monotonous.
Come on, Mei.
Come on. Put it there.
Here you are.
Thank you.
Here you are.
Come on. Hurry up.
Eat something.
Come on. One box of food for each of us.
Do you think we're having a good time
with our boss's future wife?
It's the first time that I've felt so happy staying up to have a meeting.
Lin Miaomiao was the daughter of Chief of Lotus Sect on Mount Tianshan.
She was the 48th successor of Lotus Palm.
She was extremely beautiful.
Those who had seen her face
were all shocked by her beauty.
We agreed that this network novel should highlight the heroine.
Why did you create such a dramatic background?
She was extremely beautiful?
Shouldn't the key be that the heroine fulfilled her dream
and saved the world
through her own efforts?
Just revise it.
Okay.
Lin Miaomiao was the adopted daughter
of the old man who sold salted fish at the foot of Mount Tianshan.
She looked plain,
but she was highly skilled at drying salted fish in the sunshine.
What are you doing?
I'm going to tutor you.
Haven't you said that having a meal together,
going shopping and watching movies are all boring,
so you want to have a date in the library to find the feeling of freshness?
You even believe in
such nonsense of having a date in the library?
Chen Miren.
Why don't you change your name to Chen Naive?
Come back.
Why don't we go back to the company to work overtime?
We'll need to submit the proposal in a week.
You don't want to lose
your bet with Yu Dawei, do you?
The exam will be held in a week.
Do you want to be
a designer who can't even get a college diploma?
Lin Miaomiao was pushed off the cliff.
At the critical moment,
a figure flew over to her
and carried Lin Miaomiao in his arms,
spinning and jumping.
Lin Miaomiao looked up.
She saw Bao Zhendong's handsome face.
What are you doing?
The hero showed up to save the beauty.
The heroine could protect herself.
Did she need him to rescue her? Revise it.
First subject, Math.
Come on.
Now we know that the curve Y in the upper half plane equals...
What's the use of higher mathematics after we learn it?
If we go out to buy food, we don't need such complicated algorithms.
And any point on the curve,
M, X...
Does my hair look good?
In terms of value, the gradient of the main oblique line is equal to this curve.
Let me tell you.
Chen Miren.
You're talking too much today.
Do you want to learn?
Yes.
Bao Zhendong looked at Lin Miaomiao's
blushing and cute face.
He couldn't help but hug her, lower his head
and kiss her.
What are you doing this time?
It's the third chapter.
It's time to kiss, right?
Being faced with the formidable enemy,
the whole martial arts world was in danger.
As the heroine,
how could I focus on the romantic relationship?
Delete it.
Where is it?
Here.
Write it.
Done.
Go on.
Bao Zhendong looked at Lin Miaomiao's
blushing and cute face,
he couldn't help but lower his head
and say this by her ear,
"Gor for it!"
"The future of the entire martial arts world
will depend on you."
I can't write anymore.
I have no inspiration now.
Have some water.
I have inspiration now. I have inspiration now.
That's more like it.
Si, why are you in such a hurry?
Mrs. Fang, I'm going to review the lessons with my classmates.
I'm going to be late.
Don't be in such a hurry.
I've bought you a garment.
Come on. Try it on.
You bought it for me?
Try it on.
Thank you, Mrs. Fang.
Can I try it on after I arrive at the school?
I'm really going to be late.
Okay. Just go.
Thank you.
Alright. I got it.
I'll wait for you in front of the library at noon.
Bye.
Miren.
Miao.
In your opinion, what does the companionship of
cats and dogs
mean for humans?
It means when you are happy,
a little life will be happy with you.
When you are sad,
it will be there to comfort you.
You two will grow up together
and see the world together.
Sometimes, it makes a small mistake,
and you will educate it.
But as long as it comes over to lick your hands
and act in a cute way in front of you,
all the unhappiness
will be forgotten.
They're like friends and family.
How come you have so many thoughts on this?
Come on. Let me show this to you.
This photo was taken when Bai had its first birthday.
I made this cake for it personally.
Bai liked the cake very much.
And this photo was taken while we were traveling.
That was the first time that Bai had gone on a trip.
Everything was novel to it.
I even couldn't stop it from running around.
And this one, too. This photo was taken when Bai was scared
by its own snores during its sleep.
Yes, yes, yes. And that stray cat at school, too.
Thought it looks small,
its snores are loud.
Look at this. It's hilarious.
Isn't it cute?
And this one, too.
This is the last time I saw Bai.
I didn't even have the chance to hug it before it passed away.
But at least,
you spent the best time with it.
Don't be sad.
Actually, I'm lucky
to have met Bai.
If I can be with it again,
I hope I can spend more time with it,
find it a girlfriend,
and take it to meet Bao Jiaguo.
Then we can check on our future partners mutually.
Mutually.
Yes, mutually.
My world is big.
But I was the only one
in its world.
I think I understand it.
Oh, Master, good night. Master, I seem to have gained weight. Haha
Simulation Companion Cats.
With them, after the box is unpacked,
the action figure will no longer be a lifeless toy,
and it will become a living creature that can keep growing.
Each Simulation Companion Cat action figure
can experience birth and growth,
and can learn to hunt,
including the processes of dating, giving birth to a child, and so on.
With this product, during the growth of the companion cat,
customers can indulge in the joy of being accompanied by it,
and feel mentally satisfied.
At the same time, they can also understand the real meaning of companionship.
Simulation Companion Cats?
They can both satisfy young people's curiosity,
and reduce the pressure of developing new products.
It sounds good.
It can also enhance customer viscosity,
and increase the degree of customer involvement.
That's right. It's perfect for young people like us, who want to
keep pets, but can't do so because of certain conditions.
This is a truly new-concept action figure.
Chao,
set up a design team again
with Chen Miren being the core.
Proceed with the project according to this idea.
We must win at the company's
appraisal meeting next month.
Okay.
Hey, good morning, Master...
Making people understand the meaning of companionship
is the value of our
Simulation Companion Cats.
Zhong Wei.
You should know that
even for a world-leading
action figures company like ours,
this will still be a bold venture.
Trying out new things and making innovations boldly
are the reasons why Heng Chang Ji
can become one of the best companies in the world, aren't they?
But we can't ignore
the market's response and needs, either.
With your plan,
it's like asking our customers to put the eggs in a basket.
Once they decide to buy it,
they will face a series of subsequent
purchasing needs for extensive and iterative products.
It'll test users' loyalty to the products to a large extent.
As long as the intellectual property products are good
and excellent enough,
people will pay the bill.
That's just an assumption.
What if it fails?
This is just your assumption, too.
I won't let you use our company's resources to take the risk.
A company which has lost innovation
will be eliminated by the market sooner or later.
Back then,
by asking two or three designers to work for you,
you formed a team,
and then you launched the innovative product of Thunderbolt Rabbit,
which helped you successfully enter domestic market, right?
In the end, you established Heng Chang Ji Company.
In your speech at the company's inaugural meeting,
you said something like this.
Why did you dare to do it at that time?
But now, you're so irresolute and passive?
If you're like this, how can those who like our action figures
and those who have dreams towards our industry
believe that Heng Chang Ji can lead them to
move towards a new era?
How did it go?
It passed.
Great! Good!
But Zhong Wei, don't be too optimistic.
Although the project was approved at the appraisal meeting,
this battle has just begun.
After this, there will be such steps as production, sales, marketing,
and so on.
Yu Dawei's team has always had a good performance,
and they got Grade S at the appraisal this time.
The company's resources will surely tilt in favour of him.
I'm the son of the boss. Who dares to neglect me?
What's the use of being the son of the boss?
You're just an unofficial clerk here.
Your dad doesn't even give you money to pay for your living expenses.
Why should the people of our company respect you?
Well, where are you going?
I'll attend the meeting and compete for the resources.
Well, wait for me. I'll go with you.
According to the result of this appraisal meeting,
the production line of Tianhua Processing Factory,
which is the largest processing factory we're cooperating with,
will be allocated to Director Yu's project, Argo.
Legend of Wind and Intoxicating Garden, which are rated at Grade A,
will be assigned to the Linyue Processing Factory.
Then it's the Fairy Tale Island.
Well, what about ours?
Here you are.
OO Processing Factory, what kind of processing factory is this?
OO? I've never heard of it.
It suits the style of your team.
The products will be released soon. I have a lot to do.
Excuse me for my absence.
We've been working here all afternoon,
but we haven't finished organizing half of the stuff yet.
The launch event will be held tomorrow.
We don't have enough people to prepare for it.
If we work hard tonight,
we should be able to finish it.
What are you afraid of? We can help you, right?
-Yes. -Why are you here?
The launch event will be held tomorrow. You must be very busy.
So, we thought maybe we could come and help you.
You came at the right time.
Comrades, go!
Is there anything I can help you with?
Let's hang the coloured ribbons there.
Let me help you.
Zhao Gu.
I'm just afraid you'll work very late and wake me up when you come back.
Look at you. Can't you talk nicely?
She's here to help.
I know.
Why didn't you tell me you needed help?
Zhong Wei. Although I'm not as tall as you,
my muscles are no weaker than yours.
Thanks.
We're friends.
By that time, just let me report
this exclusive story of a rich boy starting his own business independently.
Okay. No problem.
Let's get started.
I didn't know that
you get along well with your classmates.
Of course.
Great! We finally finished the work.
Thanks, everyone. Thanks for your hard work.
Don't mention it.
May your launch event be held successfully tomorrow.
-Will you come again tomorrow? -I can come.
-What about you? -I can come, too.
Why are you looking at me? It's okay for me.
Good for you, Zhao Gu.
It's weekend tomorrow. Let's come together.
You want to come here to keep an eye on Xu Miaomiao, don't you?
I just want to come here to help,
and also keep an eye on Xu Miaomiao.
Not keeping an eye on her, but watching her.
You show your affection towards each other so obviously.
We have to go.
-Okay. -Bye.
Bye.
Well, we'll have a launch event tomorrow.
Everyone, just go back and rest early.
Just go. Don't be late.
Okay. Bye.
Bye, Chao.
Let's take a photo.
This is my first work in my life in a real sense.
Okay.
Come on.
What pose should we have?
The design concept of Simulation Companion Cats
is to let us watch it grow up gradually
like accompanying a friend of ours.
Such happiness is the true meaning of companionship.
Besides, if you purchase a Companion Cat action figure,
you can take a photo with the mascot in the shop.
I want it, too.
I want to take a photo, too.
Zhong Wei. Look who's here.
-Mr. Zhong. -Mr. Dai.
Wish you prosperity. How is it?
Give me 50,000 pieces. Is there any problem?
No problem. No problem at all.
Good! Dai.
You did it before me again.
Mr. Lu, why are you also here?
Mr. Zhong called me personally and asked me to come and take a look.
He said he wouldn't let me down this time.
Look. What do you think?
Give me 100,000 pieces first.
Ten...
Thank you so much.
Let's talk upstairs.
-Let's go. -Go upstairs.
Be careful. Slow down.
Chao.
Don't worry.
Zhong Wei. Who are they?
Distributors.
Distributors?
-Well... -Stop saying "well".
They've just ordered 150,000 pieces.
150,000 pieces?
Mr. Yu, the sales data is out.
It has increased by 40% stably.
There are also five distributors that have contacted us.
They hope to discuss the subsequent cooperation with us.
Very good.
We have the last one month before the final calculation.
Keep up the good work, everyone.
By the way, I've heard that Zhong Wei's team
has put all the subsequent action figures of Companion Cats on shelves.
I don't know why they've done that.
They just took desperate measures in a crisis.
Director,
Zhong Wei posted a video about Companion Cats the day before yesterday.
People are talking about it all over the internet now.
People would like such action figure, right? It'd be great if you could tell us the location
Ms. Du.
Hello, Director Yu.
For the goods of the third quarter,
we talked about returning the products.
Didn't we agree that I would let you return them after the fourth quarter?
I have no choice.
Companion Cats are selling well now.
I need to purchase more pieces.
I really need some money to purchase them.
Ms. Du, how about this?
Just give me a few more days.
As soon as the fourth quarter ends,
I'll transfer the money to you at once.
We're old friends.
I'll give you a few more days.
Thank you, Ms. Du.
Cheers!
Zhong Wei.
Companion Cats are selling extremely well this time.
Will I get a commission?
Chen Miren has the final say.
Yes.
Really?
You've owed me 10 barbecue meals and 25 cups of milk tea,
and your commission can offset the money for buying them.
We are classmates. We should help each other.
Our class monitor is right.
You two pairs of couples
should stop showing affection here, okay?
Have you ever considered the feelings of single people like us?
What's wrong with being single?
I think it's good to be single.
It makes one feel free and happy.
You can do many things which you want to do.
Luo Si.
I can't believe that you said something like that.
You've changed a lot, huh?
Do you think everyone is like you,
who persist in waiting in the grove to discover gossip news all the time?
Why are you talking about me now?
Alright.
We haven't gathered like this for a long time.
Let's stop arguing.
Zhao Gu. I've heard from Xu Miaomiao that
you're going to study abroad.
You're the first student in our class who is going to study abroad.
I suggest that we should drink a toast to Zhao Gu to say goodbye.
Cheers!
No need to say goodbye. I'm not going.
-You're not going? -Really?
Didn't you say that you would leave next week?
Why are you not going?
I just suddenly felt that
it was good
to stay.
Zhao Gu.
Let's drink for Zhao Gu's decision to stay.
Cheers!
What about Harris?
We broke up.
I suggested it.
What did he say?
He said, "You'll regret it."
Then what did you say?
What I said is very unpleasant to the ears.
You won't want to hear it.
Zhao Gu.
Actually, I'm quite curious.
About what?
What kind of boy do you like?
Someone like Wu Dabo.
What?
Wu Da...
I never thought that
you would like someone like Wu Dabo.
So in the election campaign of Campus Ambassador,
you also voted
for Wu Dabo, didn't you?
You four besties should stop whispering to each other.
Come on. Let's chat together.
Thank you again for your help two days ago.
Come on.
May the Companion Cats sell well! Cheers!
Cheers!
