Episode 19
Coming back this time,
if I can't take control of the market rapidly, I'm afraid it will be harder in the future.
Dad, don't be so worried.
I believe that the Company will definitely pass the obstacles steadily.
That's right, my husband is invincible.
Besides, Hao Chen and I support you.
Didn't you say Han Fei is staying here too?
Where is he?
That fellow has been going out very often recently.
I have no idea what is he up to.
And also Zao Zao.
It's been a long time since she came to our house.
I really miss her.
Those two children have both grown up, right?
I still remember in the past when I saw Han Fei,
he was a mischievous kid.
I've never seen Zao Zao before.
Does she resemble Old Chi in any way?
Like, like, like.
She is just like a chip off the old block.
Oh right,
how about we invite Zao Zao here on one of the days?
Plus Han Fei,
let's have a family BBQ party
as a welcoming party for you, okay?
Good.
Then that's great.
OK, then it's decided.
Come, eat.
It's here, right?
Right, it's just this place.
Then should I accompany you inside?
Who accompanies people for a job interview?
I can go in there myself.
Go back first.
Bye bye.
Don't tell me that without Ou Hao Chen,
all she sees is money.
Really.
Am I not a live person here?
I want this red one.
Alright, I'll buy one for you.
How's this one?
Yes, that's good.
Alright, here you go.
Hello. Is the manager in?
Do you think I don't look like the manager?
Manager, how are you?
I'm here to apply for a job.
This is my resumé.
Hello, student.
Did you not pay attention?
It was written very clearly on our recruitment notice.
We're only hiring male salesmen.
Then...
Shop manager, in fact
you can just treat me like a man.
It won't be a problem.
I'm sorry, we are only short of males.
Shop manager!
What are the things which I can't do?
Don't tell me that you have gender discrimination?!
This is against the law, I'm going to report you.
I...
Please...
Please, okay?
Ok ok, I shall give you a chance then.
Really?
Firstly, carry those boxes at the entrance to the storeroom behind.
Faster, faster, faster!
No problem.
This isn't it, right?
Beauty!
Why are you still here?
I called you a beauty, and you actually dared to turn around?
So shameless?
I just wanted to look at beautiful things.
I say, what job did you apply for? Why are you breathing so heavily?
Right, I tell you
I'm successful in getting hired.
Congratulations.
But how much do you need this money?
Why are you working so hard?
You wouldn't understand. This is for Ah Gui.
Ah Gui?
No, Ou Hao Chen just left,
when did Ah Gui come?
I say, Chi Zao Zao
You are the type who forget the pain after the scar has healed. This...
Ou Hao Chen and Ah Gui are different.
It's cool and elegant.
And it also has very smart functions.
You wanted to say that he is really smart, right?
And handsome and noble?
Ah Gui, Ah Gui...
Just because he's called Ah Gui, he is noble?
Full of country flavour, vulgar.
How is that vulgar? I'm telling you
my Dad really likes it.
Really?
No no, your Dad...
Likes, likes that kind...?
Of course.
No no, I have to see him myself.
Bring me to see him right now.
Right now, let's go.
The Ah Gui you were talking about is a sewing machine?
That's right.
You should've just told me earlier! You had me worried.
Can't I just buy you a sewing machine?
Why do you need to work so hard?
Don't I still need to return you your money if you lend it to me?
Isn't that the same then?
Moreover, this is the first time in my life
that I'm sending my dad a present.
Of course I have to use my own money.
Whenever I just think of the look on my dad's face when he sees this sewing machine,
my heart is filled with happiness and joy.
This is the first time that I've felt
that it's better to give than to receive.
Back to you,
why are you being so petty with a sewing machine?
So immature.
Hello, Auntie.
Really? That's great!
Having a meal?
Okay, I'll be there on time tomorrow.
I know, Auntie.
Goodbye, Auntie.
What's going on?
Auntie said that Uncle Ou is back.
She wants us to go and have dinner with them tomorrow.
Uncle Ou's back?
This is good!
Why do have such a concerned look on your face?
It's because of Ou Hao Chen, am I right?
Of course not!
What gift are you bringing over tomorrow?
If it's for Uncle Ou,
a tie should be good?
A tie is not bad at all!
Then count me in! Let's give it together!
This is an important time, so please?
Help me out.
That's not really nice, is it?
People only give gifts together when they're a couple.
What kind of relationship do we have?
That's not good at all.
How can it be good or bad?
We can be siblings.
Come on, please? Please?
I'll take it into consideration.
Please. Okay?
Who's your sibling?
Why aren't you waiting for me?
What's wrong, Miss?
What are you thinking about?
Nothing.
Is it about that Ou Hao Chen again?
I see that you haven't been in contact with him for a few days.
What? Have you come across something difficult?
No.
You don't have a problem, but I do.
That Ou Hao Chen, you should just give up on him.
Why? There aren't any problems between us.
We're doing well.
It's not my concern whether you guys have problems or not.
I just want a
person who will be worthy of being my partner.
It's been reported that Ou Corp.
had to leave the American market.
Business was poor.
In such a situation,
he has lost the right to be the in-laws of our Shang Guan family.
Do you understand now?
What are you talking about, Aunt?
Moreover,
the renting contract between us and Ou Corp.
is about to expire.
I'm already prepared to not work with them again.
You should also cut off the ties between you and that guy.
There should be nothing left between you two.
You hear me?
Hao Chen's family must be having great difficulty now.
Did you hear what I just said?
Do not have anything to do with the Ou Family anymore.
Forget that guy.
I will arrange for someone else for you.
No.
Besides Hao Chen, I will not accept anyone else.
You.
I've gotten to this stage after so much hard work,
I will not give up.
Hao Chen, why are you still sitting here?
You can't even show half of Han Fei's initiative.
Han Fei already went to pick up Zao Zao early this morning.
You don't even take this to heart.
Mum.
She's not even my girlfriend.
Why do I need to take the initiative?
You silly child.
You will regret this in the future.
What's gotten into me?
Every time I hear Chi Zao Zao's name,
my nerves become sensitive.
This doesn't seem like me at all.
Seeing her right now,
she seems to be living well,
just like how I wished she would.
But I don't know why,
when I see her attitude towards me,
it's like we're strangers.
Something stirs within me.
Ou Hao Chen is standing in front of me.
I am smiling at him.
This is the first time
that I can peacefully
and stably stand in front of him.
Chi Zao Zao,
this counts as coming out, right?
Long time no see, Ou Hao Chen.
Are you going to let us in or not?
Zao Zao, what happened?
You just left without saying a word.
It's been half a year, I've missed you a lot.
You don't know how quiet it's been in the
house since you've left.
Auntie, sorry.
I was just in a hurry to go home during the summer holidays.
So I didn't even get the time to say goodbye.
My dad also said that it was wrong of me.
I'm sorry.
What do you mean sorry?
I just couldn't bear to see you leave.
Going back to see your dad is a must.
This child, Han Fei,
went missing early this morning.
I see it was to find you.
When did you guys...?
Are you still hiding it from me?
What are we hiding from you?
Nothing, nothing.
If I keep on asking, you're going to blame me.
When you get older, you tend to gossip more.
I...
just wanted to find the chance to talk to you.
Can you start the fire or not?
I...
if I can't,
I can use electromagnetic wave.
Just like how you opened the door and
looked at me with that blazing gaze.
I've already become burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
No wonder there's a lard smell.
I can't stand your enigmatic personality any longer.
No, why aren't you asking me?
You're not asking me...
Ask you what?
Ask about my relationship with Chi Zao Zao.
I wonder if the gift that we chose will be
to your dad's liking.
Anyway, Zao Zao chose the colour.
I can't win her, did you know that?
You don't know this, do you?
When Zao Zao starts to nag, it's like...
- Just too cute. - Han Fei.
Are you being serious?
What?
Nothing.
I just don't want to see a day when
Zao Zao is chasing after you trying to hit you.
Just like those girls in the past.
Your words don't have to be so poisonous.
Remember this.
Zao Zao is very pure.
Don't treat her the way you treated your ex-girlfriends.
Hope you become a little more serious.
Don't play around with your life.
What role are you taking for you to
tell me all of this?
As...
your friend.(plural your, i.e. both Han Fei and Zao Zao)
Then I also hope that after hearing what you've just said,
your girlfriend isn't going to cook you with electromagnetic waves.
Where is she today?
It's such an important day,
a person like her can't be absent.
Say something.
Hao Chen, your girlfriend is here.
Hao Chen!
Even faster than Cao Cao.
Not so hard.
There's a good show to watch again.
Come, come, come. Please come in.
Come. Sit.
This brat, Hao Chen
has never told us anything about himself.
He's already got a girlfriend
yet as his parents, we don't even know about this.
Uncle Ou, I just boldly came.
I've heard Hao Chen said that
you live in the US long-term and that you're busy with your business.
Never thought that I would get the chance to meet you.
I didn't prepare anything earlier,
I just brought a small gift with me.
Hope you don't mind.
You're too courteous.
Thank you.
They're all in the backyard roasting meat (barbecue).
You haven't eaten, right?
That's good, we can all have a meal together.
Coming by coincidence is better than coming early.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Not at all.
If Hao Chen's mother and I knew,
we would've invited you over much sooner.
Hao Chen.
Dad.
You brat.
Didn't even tell us about such an important matter.
I'll settle this with you later.
Accompany Shang Guan,
we'll eat soon.
Uncle Ou, how can I just sit in the living room?
I'll help out in the backyard too.
Okay, that's great.
Come, everyone. Have a seat.
Come, sit.
Come, have it while it's hot.
I haven't been back in the country for a long time.
Coming back this time, I see you're all grown up.
Good.
It's so lively at home.
There's nothing happier than this as an elder.
Come, I shall toast to everyone.
Come, cheers.
Ready to start, eat.
Shang Guan, eat by yourself too.
You're welcome.
Why are you acting so nice all of the sudden?
I just like to see how you eat.
Alright then.
Uncle Ou, I'm really happy to see you and Auntie.
I wish good health for both of you.
Thank you, thank you.
Shang Guan, you are too polite.
Thank you, thank you.
That's right, why bother being so polite?
The ugly daughter-in-law has to see her in-laws in the end after all.
Hao Chen, you have a girlfriend now.
Why didn't you even tell Dad and Mum about it?
He wouldn't let me tell you.
Otherwise, I would have told you long ago.
I shall settle the scores with the both of you later on.
Shang Guan,
are you classmates with Hao Chen?
We knew each other on the first day of university.
Precisely speaking,
before I went to University, I've already heard
of the name that got first place in the city.
Aren't you being too exaggerated?
Why are you speaking in this manner?
No, Ou Hao Chen is just feeling embarassed.
Why do you keep attacking him?
It's fun and a hard-to-get chance, so I shall play a little longer.
I got it.
Ou Hao Chen is still angry with me.
Right? Hao Chen.
Zao Zao,
I want to apologise to you.
When we saw you working part time at the cafe that day,
I was too surprised. I didn't think at all
and said some things.
It's really very inappropriate.
Due to this matter,
Ou Hao Chen has already been angry at me for a few days.
Since everyone is here to eat together,
I shall apologise to you.
It's alright.
Everything has already passed.
And also I did not mind it at all.
But Hao Chen did mind.
He has been angry at me because of this.
Zao Zao, can you help me persuade him?
This...
Hao Chen, considering what Zao Zao has said,
don't be angry with me anymore, okay?
Hao Chen,
you are a man. You should have the demeanor.
Since Shang Guan has already said it like that,
you don't have compete anymore.
I've stopped blaming her long ago.
Ok, ok.
Youngsters just have to say talk things through, and it will fine.
- Come come come, everyone eat while it's still hot.- Right, come on, quickly eat.
Zao Zao, exactly what matter is that?
In the future if such things happened, you'll have to tell me.
Whoever bullies you,
I will bully them twice over.
Why did you hit me?
Han Fei,
Zao Zao is Old Chi's daughter
and also our Ou family's daughter.
If you dare to bully her, I shall not settle with you.
No way!
How is that possible? I can't wait to dote on her.
What are you trying to do?
- Auntie, don't...- Come come come, eat eat eat.
Have a piece, have a piece. Good.
Eat, eat. Eat something.
Why? Really.
It's this one.
That game software which you have downloaded for me last time...
Why does the screen go completely dark when I open it?
I can't see anything at all.
Let me take a look.
I'll just have to reinstall it once more.
It will be fine the next time you open it.
Really?
These things
only youngsters like you guys know how to study.
For elderly like me,
I really don't understand it at all.
Auntie, you are talking nonsensically. In what way are you old?
You are so fashionable and also young and pretty.
Not old, not old, don't mention old.
Only you know how to sweet talk.
If my Hao Chen
had a personality like yours, then that would be great.
I have some top grade Lu'an Melon Seed tea,
Wait till it's well brewed then you shall have a taste.
That's great.
Lu'an Melon Seed tea tastes light and airy,
I like it.
Then that's great.
Shang Guan,
does your family live in the city?
Yes, Uncle Ou. I was born here.
I...
Coming back this time and being able to see Hao Chen's girlfriend,
I'm really happy inside.
What's more, you are this outstanding.
I'm not.
Actually, Hao Chen is the truly outstanding one.
My family members like him too.
Last time during our Ming Chang Shopping Mall new building's opening ceremony,
I've invited Hao Chen to attend the opening ceremony.
Almost everyone has given him praises.
Uncle Ou,
you have brought up a really outstanding son.
You have said well. In fact,
I rather hope that you can tolerate him.
That bad temper of his
is entirely inherited from me.
Dad, I'm going to see if the water has boiled or not.
Alright.
This brat.
I'm here to see if the water is boiled or not.
You should take a break.
Go and rest for awhile.
My mum said that you are a guest after all.
It's alright.
You have been working part-time jobs recently?
That's right.
You are so clumsy.
Don't spoil other people's things
and then you have to pay for it instead.
I won't. Don't worry.
When the water is boiled, I'll help you make the tea.
I will bring it over.
You don't have to wait here specially.
That, Zao Zao, I...
I have said it.
When the water is boiled, I'll make the tea.
You should go to the living room to accompany Uncle Ou
and chat with Shang Guan Yi.
Alright then.
For suddenly appearing today,
you're not angry at me again, right?
No.
Then I'm leaving.
Be careful on your way.
Black and white. Troubles. When you're by yourself.
Am I right?
Even though my answer is late.
Can I ask you some questions?
Do you know what my favorite color is?
Do you know what thing I hate most?
And do you know what state (of affiairs) I like most?
Looks like I was right.
How did you know?
You prefer minimalism.
And also dislike the clothes I have chose for you.
Then I think you like distinct black and white.
It wasn't hard to guess.
As for you hating troublesome things...
actually since the first new student orientation,
you have already said it very clearly.
The last question is your favourite stance.
That's right.
How did you know that I like being alone?
Isn't this easy?
Such an outstanding and cute girl like me,
if it were other guys, they would have stuck onto me for 24 hours non-stop.
Yet you just don't care like that.
Other than the answer that you like to stay alone too much,
I really can't think of any more logical answer.
Actually, I didn't know if my answers
were right or wrong.
But at least I have worked really hard to search and guess them.
Hao Chen, I'm really trying to understand you very seriously.
And also learning how to date you.
Of course, you can still give another 3 more questions at anytime.
Let me lose track of directions.
And even if you don't say, I can never work hard to
find the correct answers.
But
why must we know each other well first
before we can start this relationship?
Those answers which I don't know
why can't you tell me about them personally?
Maybe...
Maybe all of what you have said are correct.
Then you have agreed?
Right now,
can I call myself your girlfriend?
Then, good.
Your girlfriend is asking you out at 2pm tomorrow
to have afternoon tea together.
How about that?
Then it's decided!
See you tomorrow.
Bye bye.
You're not angry with me, are you?
What else would I be?
I really don't understand why
you had to let everyone think that we are--
That we're a couple.
You really don't get it.
We can't lose them on the imposing manner, do you know?
If it wasn't me spoiling over there today,
in front of that true couple,
can you still be so calm?
Right right right, it's all thanks to you.
But anyway, you performed very well today.
In front of Ou Hao Chen, you can actually be that free and easy.
I even doubted whether the person beside me was still the Chi Zao Zao from the past.
Why?!
Didn't you just said that it's all because of you?
If there wasn't you, how could there be me?
You really know how to talk now. These words make me so happy.
You, what kind of attitude is this?
Someone as handsome as me
stooped to be your boyfriend,
the one who is aggrieved should be me.
- I'm serious, I'm not lying.- So handsome~
Did you hear that? They said I'm handsome.
Really handsome.
This bike is really handsome!
Really cool, this bike is really cool.
Bye bye.
How cool is that?
How does she drive this bike?
Dad.
Are there any problems with the company?
You still haven't told me
why you hurriedly came back from US.
You study Economics as well.
The current economic situation
you should roughly understand already.
The export market in America keeps shrinking.
The revised proposal recently
has also raised the tariff barrier.
So
I had a meeting with several shareholders.
In the future, we still have to secure the local markets first.
That's true.
The current exchange rate is really disadvantageous for exports.
Excess production capacity is also a very great issue.
I also agree to expand the local market first.
Expand?
Is that wrong?
Hao Chen, I shall not hide this from you.
I came back hurriedly this time because
someone wants to withdraw our products.
Withdraw our products? Why?
I really shouldn't have told you so much.
Hao Chen, I'm still going to say this.
Dad is waiting for you to share my problems.
But not now.
You should still focus on your studies.
These things
should still be handled by me first.
Hao Chen,
your girlfriend's family...
What's wrong?
Nothing.
You just don't have to worry anymore.
My girlfriend...
Shang Guan.
I have already ordered Blue Mountain coffee for you.
You said that this is your favourite flavour.
Yes, thank you.
I just know that you would appear today.
Shang Guan, I'm rather ashamed to say this, but...
today
is not a date.
Then it's...?
I'm here as the representative of the Ou's Toy Company.
I came here specially to look for a representative for the Shang Guan family.
Then say it.
The situation is like this.
Our company has a special display inside your department store.
But few days ago, we received a notice.
Due to the expired rental contract,
you guys have rejected our renewal request
and requested that we take away our displays within one month.
This is also the reason why I asked you out today.
The matters regarding the department store...
I can't intercept in them after all.
I heard about it,
but I didn't know how to tell you about it,
so I took the liberty and came over yesterday.
I didn't know that you guys were having a gathering.
And you didn't even invite me!
Back to the main topic.
Actually, I didn't know how to tell you yesterday,
So I asked you out here.
Thank you, I have caused you many troubles.
Don't thank me first.
As I said before, the company's operation
can't be stopped or run by me.
My aunt has always been the one taking care of all the work.
Then, can I meet with her?
I'll try to arrange it.
The sooner, the better.
It's already been 15 min,
yet she still hasn't come down.
Does this means she is trying to show an initial impression of strength and power?
Hao Chen, I'll go see Aunt first.
No need,
we can just wait here.
You've waited for a while.
Aunt!
Auntie, hello.
Sit.
You are Ou Hao Chen?
Yes,
I am the representative for Ou's Toy Manufacturing Company, Ou Hao Chen.
Last time we met at the grand opening of your department store.
Aunt, just now the matters I said to you on the phone
were Ou Hao Chen's matters.
Hao Chen's family hopes that our family
can rethink the decision regarding our business together.
Everybody is aware of the matter.
So there is no need to long-winded about this anymore.
The situation is very simple.
The position of this display is very good.
Many companies are competing for this position.
Ou's Toy Manufacturing Company is the only company without any superiority.
Then, Auntie, may I ask
how we can be considered as superior?
If the business doubles, then it can probably be considered superior.
Aunt, this requirement that you have set
is not any different from refusing on the spot.
Shang Guan Yi,
do you still remember who your family is?
What position are you standing in to talk to me that way?
I...
Auntie, to tell the truth,
the requirement you just mentioned,
is very hard for our company to reach.
But before I arrived here,
I did some research.
Right now, for this position,
the big companies that are competiting against us
are KK Children's Clothing and Bai Le Toys.
Of course, in the industry world,
they are in fact a bit better than our company.
It's good that you know.
But every month, they
only profit more than us by 60% at most.
They could never double our business.
You're trying to say that next month
you can increase your business by 60%?
I didn't mean it that way.
I just hope Auntie can think about it a little longer.
According to the contract,
when we first had our display in your department store,
there were many preliminary investments and renovations.
If we were to withdraw our display,
we will be bringing all these investments along with us.
Aunt,
I'm not speaking for Hao Chen.
In fact, I have thought about it too.
Even if the Ou Group can withdraw their display within one month,
for a new business to sign a contract and set up their display,
with our current business area,
no matter what, it's impossible for us to get it done within 3 months.
Isn't that right?
Then to total up, it makes up 4 months' losses.
We have to think about this too.
So what I would like to say is
if we can continue with our cooperation,
there will be advantages for both parties.
Can we each take a step back?
70%.
If there's a 70% increase in your business, then I'll continue the contract with you guys.
What do you think?
I hope that it will be 45%.
KK Children's Clothing exceeded our profits by 60%,
but that is already their peak value from last year.
You know this very well.
55%, and I can't go any lower.
- I... - Alright,
then it's settled.
But I will still continue to seek for interested merchants
at the same time.
If the figures next month are not good,
I will still chase you guys out.
Don't blame me for not giving my niece face.
Shang Guan Yi, see Mr. Ou Hao Chen out,
I won't accompany you outside.
I'm really sorry.
I didn't give you much help either.
Nope, I'm already very grateful.
And also this result
is much better than what I predicted.
In front of your aunt, you can still
be so protective of our Company's benefits.
Shang Guan, thank you.
Thank you for what? You're too polite!
But later on, we'll have to think well about
how to solve the problem of increasing the sales volume
by 55% within one month.
Do you have any ideas?
My thoughts right now are not too clear as well.
But from tomorrow onwards, I will go to the shop everyday.
As for you, go to the factory then.
To increase the volume of business,
new products are still the most important thing.
~Next Episode Preview~
This month's volume of business must increase by 55%.
But at the very least, you shouldn't have found someone like her.
Hey!
Any bad adjectives used to describe her
will trigger my strong revenging desire.
What are you trying to do? You...
Letting the princess show her radiance once again.
Dolls dressed like this... how many more do you guys still have?
Isn't it just sewing and patching?
What's so great about it?
Only people who put in their true feelings,
can design these dolls.
I have seen wrongly.
