Episode 4
Thank you.
Skinny Monkey.
Xiao Yuan, Da Ren, why are you still here?
Mom said that the evening atmosphere is different, so she clamored for another show.
Terrific, terrific.
Xiao Yuan, thank you for the flowers.
You're welcome.
Do you like this play?
I don't like this ending.
What?
I cried my heart out.
What are you laughing at?
We all say that only tragedies have profound significance.
Crying your heart out means that you are in love with it deep inside.
No, no. You must change the ending, okay?
Don't make the lady die, such a poor lady, you are too cruel.
After I get back, I'll call the playwright
you can talk with him yourself, I'll give you his number, okay?
Why are you like this?
I'm being serious with you, she's really very pitiful.
Da Ren, come on, let's go drink tea.
You guys go ahead, I'm going to sit here a bit longer.
Just let him be.
He doesn't get it at all.
When I cried my heart out just now, he was laughing at me.
Okay then. After I drink tea with your mom, I'll escort her home a little late.
Thank you, Uncle Bai.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
But I really liked your lines just now.
The part of something about the clouds floating through the window.
Bosom friend, bosom friend.
- That's my favorite part too. - Really?
Is there any leftover food?
You can't wait to flaunt your achievement, can you?
So I can drive you to catch up with my speed quickly.
Cheng You Qing.
Is the soup heated?
I'm heating it.
I'll stir fry another vegetable dish.
No need, no need. It's really enough.
Geez, these are our leftovers.
Mama Cheng, please, or I won't dare to come here next time.
Okay okay, you sit down first and start eating.
- Thank you, Mama Cheng. - Hurry and eat first, hurry.
Da Ren, Da Ren.
Did you get to hold her hands?
Not yet.
Let Papa Cheng tell you, 'timing' is the key when it comes to dating.
Timing is everything.
When you wait too long, it'll turn out like you and You Qing.
- Dad. - Yes, right... right.
This is a bad example.
You're 'forever friends.'
- Sit here, sit here. - Come on, come on.
- Thank you. - Papa Cheng thinks...
Holding hands is the most important step in dating.
Right.
- First... - First...
To confirm the other person's feelings.
If you held her hand, and she didn't respond with a slap
- then it's right. - Right.
- Secondly... - Second.
If you hold her hands...
and it feels like electricity shooting straight to the brain...
then it's even more right.
Right.
- Thirdly... - Third.
For the second and third base, timing is even more important.
Repeat after me...
Timing... is...
- Everything. - Right. Timing is everything.
- This is the most important. - Look into her eyes in a romantic place
and kiss her passionately until your lips are swollen.
- Why are you talking about this? - Right, right. Eat first... eat first.
Eat first, eat first.
That's not right. You're not our family, you don't eat that much.
Come... eat...
So you don't need my dad and mom to teach you...
you are doing very well yourself.
Who told you I went on a date?
Am I the kind of person who puts his girlfriend before friends?
You dare to say.
Every time when you're in a relationship, you disappear for several months.
I just didn't come to your home
didn't eat midnight snack with you that often.
That isn't the same as disappearing okay?
And of the times you had problems, which time didn't I come right away?
I also do my duty well whenever you have problems.
Really?
As I recall, every time I broke up, I mended my heart alone.
When Mama Li wanted to sever her mother-daughter relationship with Tao Tao...
when you had a car accident...
which time weren't I right by your side?
So...
we have to be friends for our whole lifetime.
Otherwise, we'd be very lonely.
That's right.
You...
you found your seal yet?
I will definitely find it.
But even if I don't find it
you would accompany anyways.
You eavesdropped on my conversation with Mama Cheng.
So...
So you heard her advice too?
She's loves talking nonsense.
Anyway, just take in one ear and out the other.
Uncle Bai's play... is really touching.
What's it about?
It's about...
a pair of good friends who have undergone over 40 years of life together.
Ever since they were little, they wrote letters to each other
and cared for each other.
If there's really a pair of good friends
who wrote to each other their whole lives...
it really is a very happy thing.
They wrote to each other for their whole lifetime...
but didn't have the destiny to be together.
We...
how many years has it been now?
14, I think.
14...
Dreadful time.
In the future...
when I become a lonely old lady...
despite how difficult it is for you to move around...
you have to come visit me at the senior nursing home.
Why would you become a lonely old lady?
I'm just afraid...
you'd win the NT$100,000 before I do.
Then... this afternoon I was bored
so I thought of all the single men I knew... and analyzed all of them.
But I realized...
I don't even have a target to work toward.
Tell me about your standard.
You want to introduce people to me?
It's actually very simple...
As long as his appearance isn't too unacceptable...
and he makes approximately the same salary as I do...
It's okay even if he earns a little less than I do...
The most important is that he is driven.
Then I'm okay with it.
The most important is...
we must have lots and lots of things to talk about.
I don't want those kind...
that other than 'I love you'
and 'Please pass me a glass of water'
we'll have nothing to say to accompany me for my whole life.
That is horrific.
Why does it sound like...
I feel that I'm a super great fit.
My salary isn't bad either.
We also have lots to talk about.
Also... I won't say 'I love you' very often.
I am... Geez, you scared me to death.
I'm talking to you seriously.
I want to use the bathroom... So...
Not right now.
No problem, I can hold it.
If you can hold it, then don't use it now.
I mean, I can hold my breath.
No.
Don't worry.
The path of life is still very long.
Along the way, you'll meet lots and lots of people.
Don't scare yourself.
But every day, I'm working... working... and working...
where am I supposed to meet people?
If you really can't meet any...
then I'll accompany you to live at nursing homes.
Promise?
Unless you terminate our friendship.
What if it is me who doesn't meet anyone, would you go with me to nursing homes?
Nope.
I'm not surprised at all.
- Morning, older sister You Qing. - Older sister You Qing, morning.
Morning.
I know my desk is very messy
but within the messiness, I organized it my own way.
This way I can find the things I need, you...
I organized all your files.
They're all labeled with tags.
For instance, these are the seasonal sales reports.
They're all categorized into boxes of different colors.
These little drawers have the files you often use.
They're all labeled, you can take a look.
I didn't touch the things in your drawer because I didn't have your permission.
I've also organized the files for inventory transfer.
These are the styles we have to transfer today.
And you may have to pay attention to the amount
because for instance, this pair may sell out.
Also the amount in stock are also written here.
If you have any questions, just let me know.
Okay.
Thanks.
White suits you very well.
Thanks.
By the way, You Qing
may I go with you to inspect the counters later?
Filled?
[A little change, and your mood will be different too. -Nic]
Every time after the special sales event
our sales performance decreases a lot.
District manager, you are now transferring away all my shoes
what do you want me to sell then?
Don't you worry.
I already did the research for you.
Next week...
we'll be influenced by the peripheral circulating flow of typhoon.
It will be raining for several days.
When it's consecutively raining for that many days
pumps will definitely make better sales than sandals.
The ones I'm transferring are all sandals.
Right... District manager, what you say is reasonable.
So if the weather reports aren't accurate, I'll count this one on you.
Don't worry.
District manager will make sure it rains, all right?
Who put section A shoes up there?
A342 is probably up there.
Let me do this.
I'll do this.
Okay.
Thanks.
A342...
Be careful.
A342.
A342. Right.
Why... why are you looking at me like that?
We also need... 383.
Do you want to rest for a while?
Next time, I'll prepare a pair of comfortable shoes for you.
Is it because it's hard to find a job now?
With your ability...
why did you accept an assistant job?
Because I have a goal.
My goal is product manager.
So I want to build a solid foundation.
In addition...
You really taught me a lot.
Did I say something wrong again?
Nope.
I just think you... are very driven.
Thanks.
If this person wasn't sent by Li Da Ren...
then he must be sent by God.
Wake up Cheng You Qing.
He is only 25.
Aisle seat or window seat?
Window seat.
Why are you listless?
Menstruation.
Older brother Da Ren is such a nice person.
How am I nice?
I can't let you take a sick day.
As a manager, the least I can do is show a little humane care.
Oh, right.
I heard... you'll feel better after eating this.
This is my favorite brand of chocolate.
You have 30 more minutes.
Rest well.
You'll have to go back to the battlefield soon.
Thank you.
How are you?
I'm all right.
It's just... I haven't eaten anything for the whole day.
I feel that I'm going to collapse.
Then after we get back to Taipei, I'll take you to eat something.
Just the two of us?
Then... lend me your shoulder to lean on for a second first.
Hello.
Why are you talking so quietly?
I'm on the bus.
My coworker is sleeping.
It's okay.
I didn't fall asleep.
That...
'older brother Da Ren' is next to you?
Then...
Got time to eat together later?
Today... I can't.
I see.
It's okay, never mind.
So I won't bother...
'Older Brother Da Ren.'
Say it.
He's very good looking... He's driven at work...
He treats me with a lot of care.
Nope.
I should say 'extremely caring.'
Most importantly
he's younger than I am, but he doesn't call me 'older sister You Qing.'
He calls me 'You Qing' instead.
What do you think I should do?
What do you mean what should you do?
Should I try?
If it's worth trying, then give it a try.
The problem is he's five years younger than me.
Is it worth it?
Even you would think I'm crazy, am I right?
No, I don't.
I'm actually not surprised at all.
He has very good taste.
Really?
I swear.
Then... I'm going to give it a try.
Good luck.
You too.
Okay, bye.
Can I ask...
who she is?
She's my friend.
Girlfriend?
Friend.
Is there... pure friendship between men and women?
We're really just friends.
Why are you laughing?
If you're really telling the truth
then I should be laughing happily.
And if you're lying to me...
then I must laugh even harder.
Because... you lied... for me.
Do little girls like you all think so strangely?
It's not strange.
It's...
naive optimism.
Naive optimism?
You grown ups are too pessimistic.
You always think of the negative side of everything first.
Therefore... this world really needs to be rescued by us sunshine beautiful young girls.
How about it?
Do you want me to... rescue you?
This is...
this right here.
Okay, okay.
Hey, want to get dinner together?
That's not good.
Do you want to get a drink?
That won't work.
Can you accompany me to find some information at the bookstore?
Too obvious.
If he declines, it would be so embarrassing.
God... give me a good opening line.
What's up?
You're working overtime today again?
No... I'm almost finished.
Then that's perfect.
Perfect for what?
Because I can't accompany you to work overtime today.
I was a little worried originally.
It's your own time after work.
You should be doing your own things anyway.
Even if I need to work overtime...
you don't need to accompany me... seriously.
Then I'll leave now.
Okay.
Bye.
- Do you eat beef? - Yes.
I want lamb, the lady will have beef.
Eating beef is good for your blood.
Why do you know women so well?
I think this is very dangerous.
Dangerous?
This way I would fall in love with you very soon.
The way you act is more dangerous.
Why?
You don't even know whether the person next to you is good or bad
yet you fall in love with him.
Isn't that dangerous?
So you're not a good man?
Then, that's even more fun!
Your innocence makes others worry.
So...
I'm entrusting myself into your hands to protect me well.
Papa Cheng is telling you...
'Timing' is the most important thing when it comes to dating.
Timing is everything.
Don't wait too long.
If you wait too long, it'll end up like you and You Qing.
Dad.
Maybe faster is better.
What?
It's almost ready, eat it.
I just put it in, how can it be ready?
You know something?
I spent my whole life... to learn one thing.
Having is the start of losing.
But in the end, I still couldn't learn it.
I can never accept...
that to have youth...
is actually to begin losing youth.
To have marriage
is actually to start losing marriage.
To have fame...
but actually, fame will be gone too.
It is the same about having wealth, or having health.
It's even the same about having a dog.
To have love...
Oh God...
Losing love is more unacceptable to me.
Why do all the things we chase after in our lives...
actually begin to vanish as soon as we have them?
If I were never to have...
then I would have nothing to lose...
Isn't that right?
Now do you know...
the reason why... I won't love you?
Because having...
is the start of losing.
You Qing.
I didn't know you like fringe theater too.
Otherwise, I would've asked you to come with me.
It's also wonderful... to run into each other unexpectedly.
That's true.
Did you cry?
I cried my heart out.
My eyes were drowned in tears too.
But one line woke me up.
Which line?
Having is the start of losing.
I feel that...
having isn't the start of losing.
Every time we have something, even though we lose it in pain in the end...
still, it filled that period of time.
But if we never have something...
then there's nothing.
Do you have anything to do later on?
Do you want to go get a drink?
Sure.
Let me see if there are any interesting places.
Hello, Lala, what's up?
Older sister You Qing...
I...
Don't be upset, don't cry... tell me... what happened?
I've got something I want to talk to you about... very quickly... please.
But I'm now...
Please... just one minute...
Go do your thing if you have to. We can do this another time.
So I slammed his car door very hard and stormed off.
But he didn't even come after me.
Later on I remembered, he told me before...
When I'm mad, I can kick him or hit him
but I can't release my anger on his car.
Then I thought...
is it because he doesn't love me anymore?
Or... have I really gone too far?
It's all right.
At least you didn't leave a dent in his car door with your heels.
You kicked his car before?
So cool. Then what?
Then we broke up.
Just because of that?
Of course not.
Then...
May I ask why?
No, you may not.
Because that's a problem between him and me.
It's not a simple problem.
It's very reasonable...
Then older sister You Qing...
can I take the liberty to ask you a question?
Go ahead.
But I can't promise you I'll answer it.
It's...
In your opinion...
is Henry a man worth it for me to be in a serious relationship with?
It's all right. It's okay if you don't answer it.
Actually, if you face each relationship seriously
you'll gain something from each one of them.
It could be...
some happy and wonderful memories...
it can even be marriage.
Even if the ending is 'good-bye'
we'll still gain something.
We'll know ourselves better.
Bartender, get me another beer.
[It's also wonderful to run into each other unexpectedly.]
[I'm going to transfer inventory, see you later. -Nic]
What's up?
Did you find your seal?
Right, seal.
I'll give it to you tonight, okay?
If you don't find it, you'll definitely lose money.
Okay, I got it.
Go find it now.
Cai Chu Yi.
What are you doing here so long after our breakup?
The earring Henry gave me.
The key to Xiao Guo's home.
It's here after all.
After all...
I'm not just luggage waiting to be claimed.
Instead I am a... bag that can be filled with many stories.
Cheng You Qing.
What are you doing? Isn't Lala over there?
Just come over.
Hurry.
What is it?
She's still mad at me.
Are you free this afternoon?
Do me a favor. Please, please, please...
Because among all my past girlfriends... you have the best taste.
So... sorry.
That one.
That one suits Lala very well.
This one?
Wrap this up for me, wrap it nicely.
Okay, no problem.
- Please wrap this up for me too. - Okay, no problem.
Thanks.
Put them together.
- Oh, okay. - We'll pay separately.
Why are you so courteous?
I have to thank you for consoling Lala anyways.
I want to use my own money...
to buy a bag for myself...
and fill it with my own stories.
I heard...
that there's a new assistant at your office.
I heard he's very good looking...
and treats you pretty well.
[Now...]
Your phone is ringing.
Oh, yes.
No, no. It's in the left pocket of my jacket.
General Manager...
Then...
Hello... Hello... this is Cheng You Qing.
Hi, General Manager.
Yes.
Yes, we're on our way to the flagship store now.
Yes, we got the products.
All right, talk to you later.
Okay, bye.
You got another call.
It's from a blocked number.
Why am I so busy, so many calls. Hello, this is Cheng You Qing.
- Hello. - Yeah, who is this?
Take a guess.
Get a life.
I'm your high school classmate... Zhang Mei Mei.
Mei Mei, what is it? I'm busy.
I'm divorced.
Li Da Ren...
Did you realize...
that there are many conflicts and oppositions amongst people?
It is what attracts people...
but it could also be the beginning of catastrophes.
[The third symptom of early aging]
[Friends are getting divorced more frequently than getting married.]
It doesn't matter to me anymore, really.
I'm not mad.
I'm not hateful.
Instead, I feel relieved.
But I'm not going to make it easy for him.
I am going to call that woman
and let her know...
how despicable she is...
how shameful she is...
how nauseating she is...
and what a mistress she is.
Take a look...
Are you really not hateful?
Are you really not mad?
Does it really not matter?
Admitting that you are hurt... isn't embarrassing.
Zhao Shi Hao...
You said you'd take care of me your whole life.
Life... is filled with battles.
Over a man...
Or maybe over a pair of shoes...
Or maybe...
for our unwillingness.
The problem is...
to fight until we're pale from fear
and drowned with messiness...
Did we... really win?
Congratulations.
You performed very successfully lately.
Successfully?
Yes. You're promoted.
Promoted?
Yes, the human resources order will be announced in a few days.
Congratulations, you've been promoted to researcher.
This way... you won't have to hide behind the counters like a ninja...
and practice your ninjutsu (tolerance).
Is that the...
'older brother Da Ren' who is proudly accomplished both in love and in career?
What is there to be proud of?
You're about to be promoted, why wouldn't you be proud?
I'm not interested at all.
It's not about... the concern, is it?
Concern?
I get it.
'Older brother Da Ren.'
- So touching. - Taylor Taylor.
- Don't talk nonsense. Maggie and I... - Please come to gate number seven.
One minute, one minute.
All right.
Let me tell you this...
It's simple.
Turn that concern into something that rightfully belongs to you as soon as possible.
Then even if you are transferred to... the North Pole
you won't have anything to worry about.
Trust me.
I'm going to work.
Concern...
Buying is earning!
It's only for two days. Hello?
Busy?
Super busy.
Maggie.
Thanks.
Don't thank me.
I am deliberately making you gradually get used to it.
Laugh, laugh, laugh... what are you laughing at?
Are your facial nerves overly developed?
This Li Da Ren, his taste is getting worse and worse.
Li Da Ren... you won't love me because you have no taste
so you can't see how much I deserved to be loved.
You should go withdraw the NT$100,000 from the ATM right away.
I'm going home to sleep.
