Help me get it out there.

lt's vital.

Why the hell did you tell the truth?

Would it kill you to lie?

Only the mentally ill tell the truth these days.

That's unreasonable.

Who's unreasonable?

Everyone.

The groom's father scams the bride's father.

Unreasonable.

The bride's father calls off the wedding.

Also unreasonable.

For telling the truth,

l have to pay the balance.

Even more unreasonable.

l quit.

You'll still have to recover the money.

You've got a week.

What's with the shoes everywhere?

Get Cuicui to tidy up.

A home should feel like a home.

What's wrong with a little mess?

lt's not a museum.

What're you eating, gunpowder?

And you - Viagra?

Take off your suit.

lt's covered in snot and tears.

l'll send it to the cleaners tomorrow.

There's been an incident

on the 812 bus.

On your screens is

our protagonist

a mysterious young lady.

We'll call her Sunglasses Girl.

When did you two start?

Start what?

Affair.

Don't underestimate me.

l don't have to steal to get a woman l want.

So are you two at it every day there?

lf you weren't at it every day...

then how on one of my rare visits...

l just open the door and there you are.

You're out of line.

You eat the finest foods,

spend what you like however you like,

buy whatever you want.

So when exactly did it start?

Are you done?

An old man got on

and stood next to her.

She fully embodies

the way people today

look out for no one but themselves.

She acts as if nothing is happening.

lf you were half as refined as Ye Lanqiu,

you wouldn't ask such a question.

lf a staffer runs into difficulty,

she cries on the boss's shoulder.

lsn't that a sign of a successful company?

Why put such a vulgar spin on a noble act?

Ma'am

come look at the TV.

Let the old man have the seat.

Playing deaf now?.

Sir, ma'am says come watch the TV.

l've never seen such a thing.

Never seen such a type.

What?

What type is that?

l told you to give your seat to the man.

Shen

lf l'm only half

as refined as her,

your life's pretty tragic.

She might've had any number of reasons.

But what she said next to the old man...

is what makes this truly jaw-dropping.

lf you want to sit, sit here.

You... Someone reason with her!

You're out of line.

He's old enough to be your granddad.

Do you talk to your granddad like that?

They call this news? Mountains out of molehills.

l think Miss Ye has character.

Love really is blind.

Say it is. What can you do to me?

From now on, stay away from my office.

Ruoxi

how come only you got named in the credits?

lt's true. Jiaqi shot it. l was there.

Why do you get all the credit?

lt's the first thing you've had on TV.

How's it feel?
