Why did you come back?
I promised your dad...
that I'll come back and work in his hospital after I graduate.
Your answer is actually quite disappointing.
I thought it was because of me.
I know that you're happy now, and that you don't need me.
I heard that fashion designing has been going well for you.
You're going to open a shop in Shanghai.
You're actually keeping an eye on my status?
I happened to come across a magazine article in our staff lounge one day.
Do you have a girlfriend now?
If you get a chance
you can bring your future girlfriend and pick something from my shop.
It's on me.
He Wei Cheng?
I can't believe this jerk.
Why did he suddenly come back from Australia?
Just like before, you're still a messy eater.
What's with the big smile?
You're finally here.
Yeah.
I have to go back and finish my reports.
Would you like to have dinner with us tonight?
No, I'm busy.
Maybe next time.
Thank goodness he said no.
I've already broken up with He Wei Cheng for five years.
Why are you still so hostile whenever you see him?
Your dad hasn't given up yet.
He's been wanting you two to get back together all this time.
Of course, I can't be too careless, right?
All right, let's not talk about him.
How's your auction going?
Have you told your dad yet?
I'm not planning on inviting my dad.
Are you sure?
This time
I'm going to rely on my own ability to win.
What's wrong?
Don't you have confidence in me?
Of course.
I'm just worried that people might have doubts about an unknown artist.
This is the most important chance in my life.
Please...
Judging from the situation now
the only item that we can donate to the auction
is Porky.
But are you sure Porky's new master will take good care of him?
Yes, he will.
It's okay, good boy.
Since it's a charity auction for the Animals Association
the people who'll attend should also be animal lovers.
That's right.
Look how cute Porky is.
Why would anyone want to hurt him?
- That's right. - I guess so.
For Man Ling and other animals' sake
I guess we can only sacrifice Porky.
Porky, don't blame me.
I'll let you eat more and find you a great owner.
Don't give him so much.
The more he eats, the more he poops.
The award-winning mini pig that you see now
was bred with the black hog gene that was preserved from thirty years ago.
After five years of reproduction
they've finally succeed this year, and its name is Porky.
Look at its perfect pattern and small body.
It'll definitely become a hot new pet in the market.
Let's take a look at why this piglet is so cute.
Morning, Mom.
Where's Dad?
He's still resting in bed.
Look at this.
Look how cute this piglet is.
Wouldn't it be great if we can keep one at home?
But I don't know where I can get one.
Pigs are food, not pets.
Just the thought of having that porky smell
and poop odor in our house makes me want to throw up.
Its saliva will also be everywhere.
What if we get the foot and mouth disease?
Just the thought of it
gives me goosebumps.
It's okay, my baby.
That's weird.
Since you've always hated animals
why are you raising funds for the Animals Association?
I've got no choice.
Sometimes, you have to do things you don't want to earn a good reputation.
That's strange, Mom.
The sight of live pigs makes me sick.
But the pork neck on my plate looks so mouthwatering.
Let's eat.
Eat more if you like it.
Thanks, Mom.
Hey, shut up, I need my sleep.
You don't sound sleepy.
What a bad temper.
[Fanjiang Yu]
Fanjiang Yu?
Hello, is it Fanjiang Yu?
Your first lesson starts in half an hour.
Don't be late.
I'll send you the address.
Half an hour? I...
Pay attention.
We must warm up before our Tai Chi exercise.
First, relax your body.
Then relax your neck.
One, two, three, four.
Back, two, three, four.
Come on, stretch your arms...
At shoulders width.
Then turn it around...
And move it round and round.
Just like a big watermelon.
Pull it in and push forward.
Grab it and yes...
then slap...
No, I mean it's like playing mahjong.
When you win, you'd slap the tile.
This is Tai Chi, not mahjong.
But they have the same movements.
- Come on. - Okay, let's go.
Mix the tiles from left to right.
Then from right to left.
Dad, enjoy, I'm going out.
It's your day off, where are you going?
I'm going to my lesson with Fanjiang Yu.
Fanjiang Yu?
- Then hurry! - Go on.
I'm going to be late.
Hurry...
You should watch where you're going.
Take down this door.
Let's have a bigger door.
But that's the wall.
- Come on. - Let's do it.
Push out...
- Then come back. - Which direction?
Doesn't matter, any direction is good.
You're ten minutes late.
Not good.
You only gave me thirty minutes.
I almost died from running.
Can I have a sip?
Only unimportant people need to be on time.
In the upper class, your schedule should be planned around your own time.
Time is money.
Did you think it was funny?
Here are the rules for your reference, read them.
From now on
take down every word that I say.
I'm only going to say it once.
Rules for a lady.
Firstly, never pound the table, run, or swear.
Secondly...
Secondly, wait for the gentleman to pull out your chair at the dinner table.
Thirdly
it's okay for you to adjust your watch thirty minutes late.
If you don't see the other person when you arrive late
you still shouldn't arrive earlier than him.
Also...
Hang on.
Then where am I suppose to go?
Who cares?
No matter what happens
a lady must not arrive earlier than a gentleman.
But that's weird.
You mean I should pretend nothing is wrong even though I'm late?
There's nothing weird about that.
Just remember to keep smiling
and say...
sorry, I couldn't find the right shoes to match my dress.
Who would believe such a ridiculous excuse?
Sorry, I couldn't find the right shoes to match.
That's okay, I just got here as well.
Thank you.
Drinking tea is like shaking hands with the upper class.
The first time you drink tea with someone is the first impression you give them.
I know exactly what to do.
A good tea will have a natural aroma.
Adding sugar will only ruin its aroma.
I like sweet drinks.
What if it's not sweet enough?
The upper class is all about originality.
From now on, you must learn to enjoy the original taste of food.
After the handshake
you should learn to hug the upper class.
Go on, try the fresh aroma of roasted coffee.
Do I have to drink this without sugar, too?
How is it?
It's even more bitter than Chinese medicine.
Remember.
The perfect time of an espresso is between eighteen and twenty-three seconds.
After this time, the coffee will turn sour and taste even worse.
Even worse?
Then I better finish it quickly.
You better drink it before it becomes sour.
No one told you to finish it.
I thought Xiao Yu said you're going to Shanghai.
How did you find time to have afternoon tea with me?
Actually, I want to ask you for a favor, Auntie.
Here's an invitation to this weekend's auction.
I'd like to invite you and Uncle on behalf of the organizer.
But you should know that Xiao Yu doesn't want us to attend the auction, right?
I know, but the auction's important to Xiao Yu.
I'm not sure if he can handle it on his own.
Okay, let me ask his father.
Thank you, Auntie.
Having learned the handshake and hug
the next step would be
the kiss.
- What are you doing, Wang Man Ling? - I should be asking you.
Don't you even think about taking advantage of me.
Get your hands off me.
The upper class kiss means red wine.
- Why did you get so close to me? - That's just my teaching style, okay?
In western countries, a kiss is just an expression of friendliness.
- But I barely know you. - Of course.
That's why I treasure my life, stay away from me.
Luckily you didn't touch any of these wines.
If any of them had a bottle-shock, then you'd never be able to afford it.
Bottle what?
Bottle-shock, also called bottle-sickness.
How would they get sick when they're all lying down?
In order to prevent the cork from getting too dry
thereby causing the wine to oxidize that's why they're stored like this.
If you want to drink it, you must take it out the night before
and leave it upright for one night.
These red wines are just as troublesome as you are.
We're just playing by the rules and sticking to the right etiquette.
We're not from the stone age, don't just use violence to solve problems.
According to Darwin, the strongest survives.
This society's all about survival of the fittest.
That's the rule for survival.
Survival of the fittest?
Then shouldn't dinosaurs be ruling the world instead of humans now?
Humans rule the world with their brains instead of their fists.
If you want to enter the upper class, then you better hide your fist.
Oh yeah, where's your notebook?
Take this down, it's an important point, so put a star next to it.
I...
When are we going to drink red wine?
I'll let you try the perfect Chateau Margaux.
I thought you said it needs to be put upright first.
Of course, I have my way of waking it up in just three minutes.
You look like a magician.
The best has yet to come.
Thank you.
That's not how you hold a wine glass.
Hold on to the bottom of the glass, watch me.
Gently shake the glass at forty-five degrees.
Then try to smell its aroma.
Then take a small sip.
Imagine yourself enjoying a grand music performance.
What a beautiful performance...
Cheers.
Next, you'll advance to the spiritual level and learn to appreciate the arts.
The upper class has an emphasis on taste.
Especially when it comes to classical music and artworks.
So attending music performances is also an important part of socializing.
What is it?
Where's everyone else?
Must have been a very bad sale.
Who'd want to see this?
Concerts are much more fun.
Don't regard yourself as part of everyone else
and use other people as your benchmark.
Not only is it an insult
but it also lowers the overall standard.
But let me tell you something.
Last time when I went to a concert
the queue was so long.
Everyone was shouting...
Unlike now, where we're the only people listening to this.
Let me tell you.
Their musical director is a good friend of my dad.
That's why they're doing a private performance for us.
Not everyone gets the privilege, so enjoy it.
Sit like a lady.
- Your foot. - What about it?
Put it down, don't cross your legs.
How embarrassing.
Where are you going?
I shouldn't have brought you here.
Your ears are too used to the strong bass at concerts.
You don't know how to appreciate a graceful performance at all.
But you also fell asleep.
Don't tell anyone about this.
Don't tell anyone?
Are you trying to threaten me?
I've already put the last person who threatened me into a grave.
If you want me to keep it a secret for you
then you'll have to try and keep my mouth shut...
You're like a hungry wolf.
What?
Why didn't you dodge?
You took advantage of me.
If I had dodged
and let you fall flat on your face...
completely flat.
It's none of your business whether I'm flat-chested or not.
Let me tell you.
What happened was I fell flat on my face
and I passed out.
Then you gave me CPR so it was a medical action.
If it was purely a medical action
then why are you blushing?
No, I'm not.
Was that what you meant by keeping your mouth shut?
You should have told me.
I could have given you an extra French kissing lesson.
No, that's okay.
How about this?
Let's pretend nothing happened today.
- You didn't fall asleep and I didn't fall. - Deal.
Nothing happened so there's nothing to tell.
If the person in the grave had known
he could have settled it with a French kiss
he'd be furious.
Fanjiang Yu, you want me to kill you?
Be a lady, behave.
- Shut up. - Speak softly.
- Shut your mouth. - Be quiet.
Let's shut up together.
Dining in style is very important to the upper class.
Let's have some music.
It's best to choose classical music.
Classical?
I remember the county government gave us one before.
It only had music and didn't have any words.
Good.
Be graceful when you look for the CD.
Here it is.
Please...
- Very good. - Graceful.
That's it.
- Okay, press play. - Play.
Very good.
So now...
Here.
My feet feels so wobbly when I walk.
La... la what?
Ladies first...
- Ladies first. - The lady sits down first.
- Here you go. - Gentleman.
Yes, gentleman.
Daddy, sit properly.
Okay, now that you're all seated
firstly, this is how we drink our wine.
Red wine goes with red meat, and white wine goes with white meat.
Today, we'll have Sprite to go with our pork neck.
Pork neck.
Everyone, follow what I do and pick up your wine glass.
Pick up the wine glass.
- Tilt it at forty-five degrees. - Forty-five degrees.
- Then shake it around. - Shake it around.
Careful, you're spilling it.
Then put it to your nose
and smell it.
Smell the soda?
Can you smell a light lemon aroma?
But this is just soda.
Even if we shake it around it still won't become Coke or Fanta.
This is how the upper class appreciates wine.
Now let's have one sip to go with our meat.
Come on.
One sip.
Now try your meat.
So it's one...
- One sip then a piece of meat? - That's it.
How is it?
Well...
Soda is soda, meat is just meat.
It tastes the same.
- Yeah. - Nothing is different, right?
That's what I thought.
I thought it was my problem, but you guys also thought the same.
It's much quicker to eat this meat with chopsticks.
This is how you should eat lettuce.
No matter what the upper class eat, they want to taste the original taste of food.
Even coffee, no sugar, no milk, just black coffee.
Then just drink Chinese herbal tea.
That's even worse than medicine.
Even worse.
It's too bitter.
Also, the upper class never admit they're late.
You must say, 'I couldn't find my shoes.'
You also can't just leave early.
You must say, 'The prawns I had for dinner last night must not have been very fresh.'
If you have an upset stomach
you can't say you need to go for a poop.
Then what are you suppose to say?
You must say, 'I need to touch up my make-up.'
But the point is I don't have any make-up on at all.
See what big fat liars they are?
The upper class people are so weird.
They're such hypocrites.
Yeah, who'd want to listen to this music when they eat?
Let's change it.
I want a Taiwanese song.
Come on, everyone.
No, we shouldn't say that.
I can only use the word 'we.'
If we want to enter the upper class, then we must eat gracefully like this.
That's how we'll become the upper class.
Keep going...
Let's raise our wine glasses again.
Pick it up...
- Forty-five degrees... - That's it.
- Shake it around. - Shake...
Smell it...
- This is so weird. - Cheers.
What?
It means drink up.
I see, drink up...
I thought you said 'cheese.'
Next time, I should bring you to that restaurant.
Their dessert was so delicious.
Xiao Yu, they even have your favorite macaroon flavor.
Is everything going well for the auction?
It's all ready to go.
I've received an invitation from the organizer today.
Yeah, Daddy and I will go to Ya Zi's shop to pick a few evening gowns.
Don't worry.
Your mother and I aren't interested in going.
So you better keep an eye on things at the auction tomorrow.
I'm full.
- Xiao Yu... - Mom.
Can you let me finish my dinner in peace?
All right, I'll let you eat.
I'll check on your dad.
I'll prove to you that I can still succeed without you.
Hopefully that dinosaur will really evolve into a human.
The most perfect years for red wine are...
1982...
Twenty...
Twenty what?
I just read it, but I still can't remember it.
I better write it down.
I've never been so studious before.
Why is it so hard to become a lady?
I hate this...
Beginner to Classical Music.
Stories on the Top Hundred International Brands.
Shakespeare.
We don't know each other at all.
Watch Calendar.
How am I suppose to fit all these into my little brain?
I must become a lady...
[Tong General Hospital]
Our blood pressure medication is half the price of another brand.
So I strongly recommend the use of our medication.
Blood pressure medication is commonly used at our hospital.
If we change to this brand
it'll reduce the cost for both the hospital as well as patients.
But these are medication manufactured back in 2008.
Although the blood pressure medication that we use now is more expensive
it's a new medication that's been developed
with the least amount of side-effects.
It was manufactured in 2008
but many hospitals still used our medication before.
That's right.
So I've also asked for their opinions.
A lot of their patients had allergic reactions after using your medication.
Here...
are the complaints from those patients.
Senior.
When I was having lunch with the director
he was very surprised that we didn't renew our contract with the old factory.
If you insist on working with the new factory...
then you might have to explain your reason to him.
That's okay.
Since your hospital has such a good working relationship with your existing factory
hopefully, we'll have a chance to work together in future.
Sure.
I'll look forward to seeing
more newer and better medication produced by your factory.
It's for the good of our patients.
I need to visit the wards, over to you.
What the hell.
I thought you guaranteed to absorb my inventory of medication.
I've already paid the down payment for your cars.
We already tried our best.
But that new guy's such a hard nut to crack.
Exactly.
He's our director's favorite pupil.
[Home]
Hello?
Wei Cheng?
Can you come home now?
What's wrong?
It's your dad.
He blacked out just then, but he won't let us take him to the hospital.
I don't know what to do, can you come back?
Okay, I'll be right back.
36.2 degrees, you're fine.
I told you.
But you're not a doctor.
Listen to the doctor.
That's what he says all the time.
It's just a cold.
I'll give you some medication.
Dad, you'll need to rest for a few days.
I said I was okay.
Why did you make Wei Cheng come all the way back?
You're really selfish, you know that?
Wei Cheng's already been back from Australia for six months.
Even if you don't want to see him, we do.
Sorry, it's my fault.
I should have come back earlier.
I've asked for a few days off so I won't need to go to the hospital.
Then what about your patients?
Dad, it'll be fine.
I'm not the only doctor there.
Since I'm new, I don't have a lot of patients anyway.
You're so stubborn.
You look at your son's photo and think of him everyday.
Now that he's back, you want him to leave.
Since Wei Cheng's back let's have hotpot tonight, okay?
Okay...
- Let's go and get the food. - Let's go.
Don't forget he only likes that brand of handmade dumplings.
- Of course. - We know.
Really, it's not a big deal.
Of course it is...
Spend more time with your dad.
He's very happy.
Come on, let's go.
Let's go.
Look at him.
- Why can't he just admit it? - Old men are like that.
Let's have another cup.
I'm glad to see you so successful now.
All I do is give animals vaccines everyday.
That's my life now.
- It's better than doing nothing. - That's right.
Another short circuit?
It was already like this before I went to Australia. Why didn't you get it fixed?
Don't worry, I'm use to it.
I'll just restart the power around the back.
Let me do it, you're not well.
Sit down... let me do it...
- Be careful. - Okay.
Why is it so dark?
Have they gone out?
A thief?
You're dead meat.
- What's going on? - What?
Is the power out? Why is it...
- Open the door. - Why is it so dark?
Yeah.
You damn thief...
How dare you!
- You thief! - Man Ling, it's me!
What's going on?
Don't call the police, he's He Wei Cheng!
- The power's back. - He Wei Cheng, the crybaby?
- Yeah, have you forgotten? - How's that impossible?
It really is you.
I'm sorry, does it hurt?
The female Tarzan.
You're just as violent as before.
You can't blame me.
It was too dark, so I thought he was a thief...
He was just trying to restart the power.
That's right.
Crybaby, just cry if it really hurts. Otherwise, it'll hurt on the inside.
- Where? - Are you okay?
- Here... - Where?
I'm hungry.
- That's easy. - Let's go in and eat...
They've been fighting since young.
Why didn't he just say he was hungry?
Its white part looks quite good.
You look like a fine gentleman to me.
You're the one.
Let me tell you.
You look like a fine and decent guy.
Don't be like him and take advantage of people.
Otherwise, I'll beat you up, punch you, whip you
break you in half, and tear you up into pieces.
What are you doing?
What do you mean?
You tell me.
What are you doing still awake?
