Sister Qin.
- Do I have a package? - Yes, Sister Xiao Qin.
Thank you.
Wang Man Ni?
Zhong Xiao Qin.
It's so great to bump into you right here.
I keep wanting to return the money. I went to the shop last time and couldn't find you.
- I'll go get it for you. - Man Ni!
Do you know her?
That's right. What's wrong?
She's the saleswoman that privately exchanged the points.
So as of now, you don't have evidence to prove your innocence, right?
It really isn't me. I didn't privately exchange the points.
What's for sure right now, is that the points and vouchers are all under the card with your name on it.
Since people follow examples, I certainly can't keep you.
And we'll also contact the major retailers
to deal with the problem seriously.
We're having a meeting. What are you doing?
Manager Xu, I might be able to help her prove it. What if she didn't do it?
If she was framed, then she won't be able to stay in this industry.
Zhong Xiao Qin, what are you doing?
It's really not troublesome and not a lot of time is needed.
Just check between 3:00-3:30.p.m. on the day before,
on the fourth floor‘s counter, and check if they were deposited during that time...
will be all.
That's right.
Stop. It's her.
Zoom in.
Do you know this person?
I don't know her.
Isn't that the person we passed by the shop?
That's right. Just in time, I passed by.
I heard her saying your name.
- There was a similar event before. - Are you Wang Man Ni?
- Okay, sign here. - How about Valentine's day?
She has the same name but their looks are different.
I really don't know her, though.
I just think she looks a bit familiar.
Is she one of your clients?
Why don't you look through your moments?
I don't have her.
Let me look some more.
[Moments: Year 2019...Today... Yesterday...]
I have it.
She's Linda's friend. It's her.
I won't apologize.
I can just resign.
Linda. Everyone has worked together for so long.
- Why are you like this? - I don't like it, I'm not happy. Will that do?
In this store, Wang Man Ni is not the only one working hard.
I also stand a full ten hours, every day.
When it's peak season, I also take no breaks for three days straight.
I've also waited for two years for the sales executive position.
With what right, does she have to cut in line?
Just because she's lucky
that big order fell on her?
Is this fair?
That was earned through my hard work.
Your hard work is not allowed to offset my hard work.
But you stole my spot.
So I don't have a spot anymore.
I don't want to keep holding on like this.
It's really boring.
If it's boring, don't do it.
Whoever ends up being loved by you is really...
- It's indeed wrong to stab your colleague in the back. - You all should say less.
Enough, enough. Everyone should stop.
This issue has to do with Man Ni in the end.
Whether or not to report it to the headquarters to deal with it. Man Ni, you decide.
Man Ni, report it.
- Mars! - Mars!
Then we'll do it by the rules. How they dealt with me,
will be how they deal with her.
So there's nothing for me to apologize for.
That attitude, seriously.
I've never rented a house.
How much is it a month?
It's relatively close to where I work.
So it's a little pricy for a month. Seven thousand yuan a month.
That expensive?
Goodness. A big half of my monthly income is gone.
My pressure is big too. But I like this house's balcony too much.
Every time I sit on the balcony and watch the busy crowds below me,
I feel as if I belong in Shanghai.
Then it's quite hard for you too.
We're here. Here, come in, please.
That room is mine.
I thought for a long time. I have to personally make a meal to express my gratitude.
It feels more sincere.
You're too polite.
You've made it so cozy.
Look at these big cabinets.
They're all stored here by the landlord.
It takes up a lot of space and I can't move it. So I just put some of my own things. It's not bad, right?
Yeah.
Did you buy this much shampoo?
I bought them online.
There just happened to be a discount so I bought it in bulk. It will eventually be used.
I know this brand. It smells quite nice.
- I'll pour you a cup of water. - Okay.
There's even this type of drinking fountain?
How is this a drinking fountain? This is a must get decor when renting a place.
Here, drink some water first. Sit anywhere.
Thank you.
Xiao Qin.
Is it okay if I make dumplings for you today?
Okay.
Are you a northerner?
My family is from Quzhou.
My dad's ancestors were Northerners. He often makes dumplings so I learned some.
Oh, right. I'll transfer the 200 yuan I owe you through WeChat.
I said I'll make you a meal to thank you. Why are you sending me money first?
These are two different things. I've owed you for so long.
I didn't know how to give it to you.
Xiao Qin, how old are you this year?
I'm almost 30.
Then we're the same.
- Really? - Yeah. I was born in late September. You?
I'm July.
What? You're older than me?
So coincidental.
Look, you bought so much.
That's why I said it's rare for me to eat it alone.
See, making dumplings requires so many ingredients.
Only a little is used for each. Not very cost-effective and easily wasted.
So with the leftovers, I wrap them with food wrap and place them in the freezer.
It can probably last a whole week.
I've never lived alone.
I even went to college here. I've never left home.
How lucky are you?
Who wants to be thousands of miles away from home?
- Then let's start. - Okay.
Here.
Done.
I haven't made them in a long time. I wonder how the taste is.
Just by looking, it must be tasty.
Xiao Qin,
if it wasn't because of your help this time,
then I probably would've gone back to my hometown by now.
Saying thanks is too light.
Let's use water to replace alcohol.
Okay.
You're too courteous.
I just bumped into you that day.
Try it out first.
How's it?
It's tasty.
In today's society, one would rather have one less thing to worry about.
As long as it's not their own problem, everyone's first reaction is to avoid it.
People like you, who charge forward
and even offend their manager for me, are really rare.
I'm not as good as what you said.
I had a selfish motive.
I'm pregnant. You must keep it a secret for me.
Really?
Congrats, then.
You don't even know how big of a chicken I am, normally.
I never dare to contradict my manager.
This time, I just bumped into it, so I thought I couldn't just watch and do nothing.
Moreover, I can give the baby in my stomach some karmic reward.
I have to thank him, then.
Oh, right. I heard the employee who framed you,
it's because she was competing for the same position as you.
Originally, I could understand her hostility towards me.
But she overstepped this time, I could only ask her to leave.
This city is full of dreams but also full of temptation.
Go to the train station or airport and take a look.
How many people come to the city each day wanting to root themselves, and how many are leaving.
Each year's graduates want to stay, each bus of workers want to stay.
Look, just like this cup of water.
It has to overflow once it's full.
So we can only root ourselves with all our strength.
To add weight to ourselves, so that we won't be squeezed out.
It's been eight years since I came to this city.
I still don't have any sense of belonging here.
And I don't know where my future is.
Why is it getting more sad as you talk?
We're eating this meal today in order to celebrate.
No matter what, you stayed and even got a higher position.
I'm talking very seriously.
If there's anything you encounter in the future and I can help with
then don't be courteous with me.
I'm just like you. I'm always afraid of owing people.
Okay.
