Episode 2
The family really needs
this income
I must get this job.
Alright
1, 2,
You
Why are you here? You
No
What are you trying to do?
You
You pervert
You sex addict! Bastard!
Turn around!
Miss
Turn around
I'm not
You don't come over.
What are you doing?!
Don't ever try that again!
Or I'll make sure you'll never be a man again!
Xi En, no.
No, this isn't the way to settle things.
Don't be hasty!
Right. You'll hurt someone.
This fellow is a pervert!
Pervert?
No, he's has a fever.
It's making him dizzy.
Quickly take him to his room.
Ok
Don't be hasty!
Didn't I ask him to take a shower?
Why did he went into the room?
What? You want to dress as a boy?
Didn't I say it just now?
They don't want females, only males.
Then it's easy. Don't do it.
$45,000 ($1525 USD)
$45,000
Ok, I know.
pretending to be a boy to get the job
is a little exaggerating.
But
But you have to think
lots of money, little work, and it's close to home.
Like this, when I'm free,
I can sneak home and look after Xi Ping,
and help with the shop.
I'll be earning a lot!
What's more,
Won't the problem of paying
the expenses for Xi Hui's piano teacher
be taken care of?
And you won't have to work so hard.
You force yourself to put up with your sore back and
drive for so long.
I can also save more for
Xi Ping's future.
Everyone will be belated to their fullest.
Belated.
Yes, you will be belated to the fullest.
But I will be sad
What are you being sad for?
What do you think?
Of course, it's sad.
You're sacrificing so much for our family.
What's more,
no money it's ok.
As long as our family works together,
works hard.
Everyone has good days.
Even if there aren't good days that's okay.
Don't need to make such sacrifice.
Father and Mother
I'm not going to the military like Mulan.
I'm just dressing up in the more unisex direction
to work.
Usually for convenience,
drive Dad's taxi at night.
Aren't I being like that too?
Now it's just one additional thing.
Just need to cut the hair only.
Not much changes.
But
Stop saying "but"s over there anymore.
In front of us,
there's such a good chance.
Before you were complaining that my job was
unstable and difficult.
You guys should fully support me.
Xi En. I think we should...
Stop trying to put it off.
Just give me a chance
to try it.
If it doesn't go well,
they'll find out I'm a girl.
What's there to worry about?
Alright... You are just being filial.
You'll be aggrieved.
No
What's wrong?
It's over!
Earlier when I was in the room,
my real identity has
already been seen by Chocolate.
He's interested in the shop
and he has a grudge against me.
He will definitely reveal that I'm a girl.
I
He originally already cowardly
ran away.
Why did you bring him back?
This
Don't be nervous.
I think about it first.
According to my judgment,
Chocolate spewed nonsense because of his fever.
He's confused.
He's completely dazed.
I think if us three
keep our stories straight
I believe we can keep it a secret from him.
I think it's possible.
Thanks, Mum.
Don't need to thank, don't need to thank.
Father, thank you.
Are you sure you won't get caught?
Wait till I cut my hair short then you will know.
From now on,
I am a boy.
Subtitled by the Ti Amo Chocolate Team @ Viki
It's alright. It's not the first time she cut her hair.
How's it? Have the fever gone down yet?
Gone down already.
Chocolate, you have woken up?
Do you feel better now?
What happened to me?
I told you to take a bath.
Then, probably because of your fever,
you went into the wrong room.
That's not right.
But I remember
Remember what?
I remember a girl was going crazy
and attacked me.
You
What about me?
Impossible
That girl was fairly pretty.
Not like you at all.
What are you talking about?
Let me.
I tell you
He is a boy.
Right, my daughter, she's a girl.
Not right
My daughter -Son
My son
My son, he is a girl.
Not right
My son, he is a boy.
He is not a girl.
Not a girl
I'm a guy! Right.
My son is a guy!
Right, right.
Why are you guys being so agitated?
I just want to know if
there's another girl in your family.
No, Yes.
Yes, no.
So is it have or don't have?
We did before, but now we don't.
Just that
Xi En has a little sister named Xi Hui,
but she's living at school right now.
So now we don't.
Right. Now we don't.
Right
But it was all so real.
her hair scent
I can still smell it right now.
But then I stepped on something
and then I fell down
I went forward
and fell into her
It felt very
well developed.
What are you doing? Stop talking nonsense.
Very A?
No
Not only A,
there's a B-cup size but not yet a C-cup size.
You better shut up.
Your head's been completely fried by your fever
and now you're talking crazy.
Let me tell you, right now in our family
only my mom is a woman.
Everyone else is a guy.
Even Haru is. Understand?
Understand?
Chocolate, let me explain.
In Taipei, an inch of land equals an inch of gold.
Our family is kind of poor.
So we can only live in a
more secluded place.
I tell you, I've heard that
the land here used to be
a cemetery.
Ok, I tell you
If you really saw that
long-haired person, then that's right.
You saw something dirty.
For this, you have to find a master
to help you.
Let me tell you, our road,
when you walk out to the opening of the alley, there's a temple.
That master is really awesome!
It's enough, Father.
Weren't you going to take Haru on a walk?
Go first.
Young man, you must go there.
Get fixed.
Ok
You can go.
Be careful.
What are you trying to do?
Who was it that said to me
wait for me to come back
I'll clear things up
I'll make sure to clear up
our relationship.
In the end?
Give me some time, I will definitely settle it.
Hopefully.
Flower Basket compensation. Bicycle repair fee.
After the crash, fee for stopping work. Credit loss
Money for the bandage because of Haru's bite
and hydrogen peroxide.
The money from when we ate and I paid your tab.
Parking fee from the restaurant. Sheet cleaning and delivery service fee.
Also the fee for the taxi when my parents saved you.
Adding on the ginger tea you have right now,
A cup for 500
500?
Right
In total, it's
$60,005
I'll just count it as 60 thousand.
60 thousand?
You're more stingy than a girl.
Careful. Don't break the cup.
One cup worths 250
I don't drink, will that do?
Fine. Cleaning fee: 100 dollars.
You
Fine. You're really good at calculating.
You can calculate whatever you want.
Either way, I have no money, only my life.
You can go figure it out yourself.
Fine. Then I'll go find
the boss of that chocolate shop
Use your whereabouts
to exchange for that watch you left.
He would be very happy.
If you take that type of fake product to the internet,
you could probably earn some money off of it.
I'm warning you. You can't touch that watch.
It is really important to me.
I'm relying on that so that I can buy the chocolate shop.
Yes. I, also, want to earn the lotto.
I can buy brand name cars, live in a nice house. How nice!
Thinking about the impossibles is called daydreaming.
If daydreaming is being mixed with reality,
that's called crazy.
Either way, don't even think about
that watch.
I'll return the money.
I just need some time.
At most, I pay you interest.
Now you're talking.
I accept.
Since there is no guarantee,
fingerprint.
Now can I go?
Wait a moment
What else do you want?
Do you have a place to stay?
So what if I don't.
Don't be stubborn!
Just stay here.
What?!
Don't misunderstand.
I don't like you that much.
I'm still going to charge you rent.
This is a haunted house.
Even your dad said there's a lot of ghosts here
plus you malicious devil.
Don't say it like this.
It's better than wandering out there.
As compared to outside,
my room
is comparable to six-star suites rooms
It can open up blood's
magnetic infrared bed
Not much feeling
And also
there's a hi-tech air conditioning system.
It can be adjusted based on your temperature preference.
See it?
It can turn.
What's happening to it right now?
And the scenario aiding sleep light.
You see
Complete darkness after it's off.
I guarantee you'll sleep well.
A massage expert.
is him.
At night, he'll sleep with you.
Having him step on your body is
really comfortable.
It seems to have bitten me before
Follow me
You take a look at the mirror
What can you see?
What?
Liar.
What can I see?
Idiot.
Cheater. Idiot.
Cheater. Idiot. It's you.
You're lucky this time
If it was someone else,
their finger would have been broken already.
Six star suite.
I would rather live in the dog house.
You can't.
Real men must keep their word.
Hong Xi En, you
What are you being sneaky over there for?
Uncle
Thank you for caring so much about me.
What do you mean?
You know I don't have a boyfriend
and yet you specially hired a male worker.
You've think too much.
But you only hire male workers.
You are doing it just for my future road of happiness.
Think too much
It's for the sake of my happiness.
This life, it is difficult
for you to work in an environment with females.
Because in your numerology,
you have no hope in your love relationship.
Guilty will lead to an empty death
This woman
not only can't become your helper
but will in exchange cause you to
have this lifetime being depressed.
Everything will fail.
Doesn't that mean I have to stay single forever?
Or else,
as long as you meet your
true love, then all will be well.
I am very sensitive to women in this life.
As long as a woman gets near me,
everything will be difficult.
Except for a woman,
only she can bring me happiness.
For her, all of the hardships,
I'm all willing to take.
No matter how difficult the road is,
I can still endure it.
If it wasn't for your mom,
a.k.a. my sister, who borrowed my money to
spend in an Italian school to learn how to make chocolate,
why would I accept you, a female?
It'll cause everything to go wrong for me!
That's why my store only accepts male workers.
Quickly go back.
Bothering me over here.
Bye bye.
Excuse me
Little handsome man
Eating chocolate?
Come in, sit down.
You'll get a better view if you sit by the window. Come.
Little handsome man...
Passed!
I'm here to apply for the job.
You're accepted.
Are you the Boss?
You can decide who is accepted?
I'm not.
Right... I can't help the Boss
make his decisions.
Sorry! I was only paying attention to how
handsome you are, I was too excited.
Then when will the Boss be here?
Boss?
The Boss lives upstairs, he'll be down soon.
Be more patient.
You must wait for him to come down.
Later, when you are applying,
I'm definitely going to be cheering on for you.
Thank you
You wait.
Wait.
I'll treat you to eat chocolate.
I wish you good luck!
Thank you
Then I'm going to go do my job first.
Okay, you go do your stuff.
Jia you! Little handsome man!
Jia you! (Note: Jia you is like "good luck!")
Excuse me...
Hello
Did you want to buy chocolate?
Me?
I'm here looking for chocolate.
Then you came to the right place.
How is that so?
Actually, I'm here to apply.
If you are wiling to
buy a box of chocolates from me,
then the Boss will think
Wow! How did I suddenly make an achievement?
Then he might use me.
Then what's in it for me?
Just treat it as a good deed.
But the price of this shop's chocolate
doesn't seem very cheap...
If you want me to buy it,
you should at least say something like
the reason these chocolates
will attract me.
The reason that attracts you?
Ok
Chocolate, it is just
just chocolate, right?
Then this chocolate?
I think chocolates
it is not only a kind of sweet
It's also God's
present to humans.
Through its very unique scent
and also taste,
it will bring the eater a kind of feeling
filled with passion, energy, romance
and satisfaction.
Choco People
I say Choco People
Chocolate People
Chocolate People?
Has passion, energy
Optimistic
Has the ability to spread the happiness around
to everyone
I call them "Choco People"
because this is chocolate itself's
most precious nature.
You really understand a lot about chocolate
Of course she understands.
She may be the woman on Earth who
is most mesmerized by chocolate.
Finally back.
Finally back!
Welcome
Who are you?
What are you doing here again?
The paint is already done.
Hello, my name is Hong Xi En.
I'm here to apply to be a worker.
My shop's workers
have to move very heavy items
Your figure is not suitable.
Don't underestimate me.
I have lots of strength.
One phrase, no way!
Please, listen to me.
No means no.
This is a principle's issue.
I don't want my workers to be that petite.
People will think I'm hiring children.
But I think that he's rather nice.
Earlier it was him who made me decide
to buy your chocolates.
You have been hired.
Have you heard that?
You have been hired!
Enough!
Enough is enough!
Girls and boys don't touch each other.
I'm sorry.
Why bother to remind him?
Thank you for speaking up for me.
The Boss's decision was changed
because of your one sentence.
It wasn't her who changed my decision.
It's me following her trail of though.
She is then the real Boss.
I plan to buy his store
and his people
if he doesn't object.
No, we must clear things up.
It's not buying my people,
it's buying my ability to make chocolate.
This is exactly what I mean,
What did you think of other than that?
Boss
Boss, your cheeks are getting red.
Go to the back.
When adults are talking, kids shouldn't interrupt.
Come, I'll show you around.
Go
Thank you
The room in the back
has already been cleaned for you.
I'll take your luggage in first.
Haru!
$1 per piece
$1 per piece?!
NT $70 per bowl (~$2 USD)
NT $50 per bottle (~$1.70 USD)
NT $100 per use. (~$3.40 USD)
Usage!!
Is this a robber's den??
I have really met a bandit.
Subtitled by the Ti Amo Chocolate Team @ Viki
Still okay, Young Master?
Yes, very luxurious.
End of the month has come.
My pocket is soon going to have some money.
I'll using up all of my money
to let you eat a fulling meal.
Pretty sincere, right?
Then, shouldn't you also show something?
Show something?
After having experienced the past to days,
I have deeply realized that
if you have food, eat it quickly
otherwise you won't have anything to eat.
It has really been hard on you.
I guess the chairman is really determined this time.
Not even leaving you a second option.
You don't know how much your grandmother worries about you
The incident about the car being taken away.
You're not allowed to tell anyone.
Don't let Grandmother be worried.
Don't worry, she won't know.
She won't worry either.
But I'm pretty worried about you.
What are you worrying about?
I'll definitely get through the hardships.
Create a bright future.
You, should just sit and wait to eat the good stuff
If we have to wait for that day,
I think we'll all have starved to death by then.
Since when did Hua Ren company
owe their workers their salary?
It's not Hua Ren company owing salaries.
It's you who owed me the salary.
Have you forgotten I'm your personal assistant?
Once you leave, who will give me a salary?
Alright!
I see this is just a *sidewalk banquet* (like a trap).
I actually thought you really cared about me.
I do really care about you.
Didn't you notice that I have always
stuck with you?
After you leave, it'll just be me.
No one cares about me in the company.
What?
Even I want to cry after you say it like this.
Would I let the someone who followed me suffer?
I'll find a way to deal with the salary.
You go back first, wait for my news.
Thank you, Young Master.
I'll go order another order of meat.
Wait a moment
I knew it!
They wouldn't put the egg in the same container.
Also, lend me your emergency money.
Once payday comes, I'll return it to you.
Miss. Ge Jia Yi
Haven't seen you in years
How have you been?
Ge Jia Yi?
This name is so old and stranger-like.
All these years when I've been
performing outside of the country
I always use my pen name, Hao Si Jia.
Even if you can let go of your love relationship
Then what about kinship?
You never thought about what happened
to your child that you sent to the Fang family?
Eat a chocolate.
Just to try the taste of a chocolate
I'll have to confess
Think too much,
when you're confused,
eat a chocolate.
I don't have any troubles
Everything has passed.
The me now,
just hopes that everyone can be happy
Just like chocolate,
bitter on the outside
but in the end it will be sweet to the heart
Speaking of chocolate,
what's wrong with you?
Making such a small amount of chocolate everyday
how are you going to earn money?
The reason I opened this shop wasn't
to earn money.
Such a strange personality and so temperamental.
of course the customers would be scared away.
They're not you,
why should I be pleasant to them?
You don't do any advertisement or promotion.
I do it by spreading words.
Really is a master.
But you should at least respect
me, the Boss's ideas.
If not, in future, how am I going to manage?
Are you serious?
You're going to stay this time?
Not going to leave anymore?
What?
From when I contacted you
till after I came off the plane
You still don't believe
I really want to buy
your chocolate store?
Not that I don't believe
it's I don't dare to believe.
So... we have made a deal?
Of course.
Congrats!
Thank you. Congrats.
Bring the red envelope
You still want a red envelope?
Then once I get my salary, I'll give you a big one!
Okay!
Xi En
Are you positive you passed?
Did they really see you as a man?
All is well.
Xi En
Would they make you do hard labor?
Dad, give me a break.
It's a chocolate store
How can they possibly have any hard labor?
You two should stop thinking too much.
Leave the rest of the stuff
for me to handle.
You guys just need to remember one thing for me
What is it?
From today on,
our Hong family's oldest daughter Hong Xi En will temporarily disappear.
There will only be an oldest son, Hong Xi En.
Come on, say it once. "Son"
Son!
Not you!
You have to call me "big brother."
Oh... big brother!
Why are you so awesome?
I'll give you a thumbs up!
Why are you so awesome?
Thumbs up!
Xi En
This is a present from your mother and I.
What is this?
Open it and see!
It's made from the remains of hair from past hair cuts.
Your mother and I have always kept them.
We took them to the nearby beauty salon
and that Ah Juan just happened to know
someone who makes wigs.
We asked them to make one for us.
But, how was it possibly enough to make one?
The remains from my past hair cuts couldn't possibly be enough.
Since you were a child, your hair has been so beautiful
Everytime we want to cut your hair,
you were always reluctant.
You always cried over it.
Actually, your father and I couldn't bear it either.
So every time
you had a haircut, we would
secretly keep the remains.
Right.
I still remember when she was seven years old,
one day she came to me and said
"Daddy, look!"
"My hair is so beautiful!"
So all these years,
it slowly collected and was enough.
Your dad and I were thinking
if you one day
wanted to become a girl again,
and want to go out to play,
you can wear this wig.
Then dress up nicely
and then go out and enjoy your day crazily.
That way your mood would surely get better again.
Yes, exactly.
Thank you mom and dad.

Look, your daughter's back!
Xi En changing back and forth is so fun!
Wow! Long hair
Alright.
Hurry up and eat.
Okay!
The food is getting cold.
-Does it taste good? -Delicious!
Where did Mr. Chocolate go?
Forget it, who cares about him.
People like him have no taste, are of low class
Not returning owed money
Coward, no shoulder, irresponsible man
Starting.
He's starting to yell at me.
He's probably so angry that smoke is coming out right now.
Thanks to Zi Yu's personal money.
But his salary...
So how is it?
What do you mean "how is it?"
What we discussed earlier.
Can you help me get my watch back?
I can.
Of course I can.
Then you should go quickly.
I forgot, there's a small issue
What issue?
I'm afraid if I help you, Boss will fire me.
Then let's not think about this problem, okay?
Let's think about what this piece of paper
has what on it?
Phone number!
Correct.
If you can find my watch,
my personal phone number
will become yours.
Hurry, you're running out of time.
Found it!
You came back this time to buy my shop
or to take back your collateral?
I'm here to take back my watch.
Very straightforward.
Then what you said before
if you don't come up with the money,
aside from the watch becoming mine, you will also become my worker.
Shouldn't we follow through with our words too?
Very good.
Then you can now officially start working.
Impossible.
I...
Please return the watch to me.
I have an urgent need.
But I'm only taking it it back first,
I'll return it to you later.
I will definitely buy this--
I will definitely buy this shop down.
I have no other strength
besides keeping promises.
No matter if it's my promise to others or vice versa,
after it has been stated,
it must be followed.
Forget it.
It's only a watch anyways.
I don't have to have it.
Don't be like that! Working here isn't bad either...
At least give me your phone number!
Thank you.
You really won't consider working here?
Work?
Not bad.
Each one applying is handsomer than previous ones.
Only their appearance
Strawberry Generation can't stand pressure.
Not following through with their words.
Simply just afraid of taking on challenges.
You, young master, has guts
Want to go out by yourself?
I would love to see
what you can do without the help
of my money and resources.
Who said I'm afraid of challenges?
Oh, really?
Then did I misunderstand you?
So earlier you weren't escaping reality?
You were simply coming out to help?
Since you are a person who follows their promises
then why don't you start by keeping your promise?
He's the one you previously mentioned who wants to buy this shop?
Then he is my competitor.
Correct.
Sorry.
If you also want this store, I'm afraid you'll have to compete with me.
He can't win you.
Oh, no.
I meant that he doesn't have enough qualifications
You should at least give him a chance to fairly compete.
If you want to manage a chocolate shop,
should at least understand chocolate.
Let's do it this way.
We two can compete in a test.
What do you think?
Compete in a test?
In other words,
let's make a bet.
The winner will be Boss.
The loser...
becomes a worker.
Betting this big?
Do you dare?
The correct amount and origin
is written on this piece of paper.
This is a very easy contest.
The two of you just have to try
this chocolate.
Then write out the amount of Cocoa paste and the origin of it.
The closest is the winner.
Handsome man's
Hao jie's
Alright. I will now announce
Ge...
Miss Hao Si Jia
74% Ecuador.
What do I call you?
Chocolate.
Mr. Chocolate
60% Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast)
People who will guess Ivory Coast
most likely took a random guess
that Ivory Coast is the most common place where cocoa is made.
74% Venezuela.
Ms. Hao Si Jia's answer had the correct amount of cocoa.
Ecuador and Venezuela are both in
the northern part of South America.
It's the closest answer. Ms. Hao Si Jia wins.
Okay. I was willing to bet, I'm willing to accept my loss.
I will keep my promise
and be this store's worker.
Finally--
But I will certainly not give up.
I will one day become this store's boss.
Do you know how to do it or not?
Have you never seen this before?
It's a rake.
Fallen leaves depend on this to be cleaned up.
Have you never seen this?
Capiche.
Not "Pikachu"
It's Italian
for "understand?"
"do you get it now?''
Are you a Young Master?
Do you know how to do it or not?
Capiche. Pikachu.
Sorry, I'm late!
Is there anything I can help with?
Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao!
You came.
Wear your apron.
Go outside and help mow the lawn. Don't let the handsome man work too hard.
What handsome man?
That...
new co-worker of ours.
New co-worker?
I'll head on over first.
Hello, new co-worker!
