Despite their difference in age, Zhong Yao finally invites her out on a date to see a play, but at the last minute Bai Shujin has to rush back to her hometown when her mother has an emergency. One day, Bai Shujin and Zhong Yao separately have the idea of leafleting the same area they spend time together, grow closer and Bai Shujin’s sales improve. Bai Shujin says she now has no dreams and just wants to make money. An old college friend, Qi Hong (Zhao Ziqi), who’s just split up with her boyfriend, reminds Bai Shujin how they idealistically went into business together 10 years ago. After bumping into Chen Nian in a bakery, Bai Shujin decides to have a clear-out in her flat and start a new life she also throws away her old manuscripts, though the girl secretly rescues an unfinished one, 人生需要揭穿 (“Life Needs Revealing”). Initially, the older Bai Shujin finds the girl’s constant perkiness annoying but eventually the two bond, during a boozy night, over having both been dumped by boyfriends. The girl has come to Beijing to find the boyfriend who split with her by phone. To cover her rent increase she ends up subletting a room to a girl (Zhang Zifeng) she’d bumped into on the street after being dumped by Chen Nian.
Though she used to work in publishing, Bai Shujin insists that property selling is what she wants to do, but she feels the heat from even her young trainee, Zhong Yao (Wei Daxun), 25, let alone other staff like the ambitious Feng Jinjin (Lv Xingchen). She also has the worry of her mother (Xu Di), who lives two hours’ train ride outside Beijing and suffers from cerebellar ataxia, and at the property agency where she’s worked for a year she’s under pressure because of her declining sales figures. On White Day, Bai Shujin (Bai Baihe), 32, surprises her writer boyfriend Chen Nian (Wen Shenghao) with flowers at his flat in Chaoyang district but is then dumped by him after sex the same evening she hears the rent on her flat in Shuangjing district has increased by RMB2,000 a month. Light drama of a woman’s emotional and career choices in her early 30s is too shallow and contrived.īeijing.
