Episode 14
Come and sit down. I've got to tell you something.
What?
I am certain that Zhang Sheng likes me.
In the beginning we are still a little nervous, but when I was trying to catch the spy,
I firmly believed this because he revealed himself proactively to me.
This is something only somebody in love would do.
Not, not, this is not my own wishful thinking, is it?
It should not be.
That's it!
That is what I thought. What would a guy want
an aggressive girl like Gao Wen Ruo Han?
At least it needs to be someone with more class like me.
Right, right, right.
Don't tell her.
Go, go, go. Let's go to wash our face.
Go, go, go.
Get up! Get up! All of you, get up.
What's going on?
You guys got tired from this little exercise?
I bring a good news for everyone.
Our company's VIP will be here shortly to visit everyone.
And they will hold a friendly basketball game with you.
Let's get up for this one and put out a good show.
We have emergency gathering at night and have to play basketball during the day. Do they want to kill us?
Yes.
I announce the friendly between the JM Power Team vs.
the intern Rookie Team. Now it begins.
Players please take the court.
Fighting, Zhang Sheng! Fighting!
They all had their meals and a good night of sleep. How are we to compete?
Yes. You are the leader. Do you win the game or not today?
Win. We have to win.
What are you mumbling about?
I am telling you. I referee with very tight standards.
Don't push or foul.
Come.
The game officially starts.
Go. Zhang Sheng, go.
Fighting! Fighting!
Let's go Interns. Go Interns.
Fighting Interns.
Let's go Hsiao Chuan!
Fighting, Fighting! Let's go Leaders.
Nice shot!
Leaders are the best. Leaders are the best.
Leaders fighting!
Chairman Chen, let's go.
Nice shot.
See. They all pass the ball to the fatty. Don't let him get the pass.
Hurry up. Hurry.
Where to go?
Zhang Sheng, you'd better watch out about fouls.
Chairman, what happened?
Chairman, chairman!
Chairman, are you all right?
Zhao Xia Chuan!
What's wrong with you? If something happens to the Chairman,
I will fire you today!
No.
- My internship may terminate like this.- Possible.
Hurry up. Help the Chairman up.
It is broken.
Get up. Hurry up.
Hurry up. Get to the hospital.
Who's a cell? Call 120.
120, 120.
Don't call. I am ok. I faked it.
What is the score now?
Now, it's 40 to 40.
A tie.
Otherwise we would have lost it.
I continue to fake.
It's ok, Chairman. They committed foul at the end.
We count this as a win for us.
What's in the zoo?
Something to eat.
Dolphin.
Instructor Li.
The military training is over.
Why have you mentioned anything about our performance?
Wait...wait...
What do you mean, Zhao Xia Chuan? Don't give me all this nonsense.
We cannot announce the results tonight.
It would be so inhuman to do so.
Aaaah! Teacher Huang is thinking on our behalf.
Teacher Huang is so considerate.
We should drink one for you. Cheers!
Here, here, here.
Teacher Huang, can't you just tell us if we have been eliminated?
Don't do this. I am telling you. Zhou Ge Ge.
Here you go again with your sweet talk. Doesn't work on me!
Your score, ha ha, I won't tell you for sure.
Zhao Xia Chuan, it's all your fault.
Hit the Chairman with the basketball.
I...I...
Come, everyone. Let's get Teacher Huang to drink another one.
After he drinks enough, he will tell us by himself.
That is right. Exactly.
I , one against eight.
I am in Sales. I am not afraid of anyone.
Cheers, cheers.
Teacher Huang, cheers.
Bottoms up.
Just one more sip left. Don't breathe.
No problem.
Students.
When we handle the public relations with the external parties,
we must ask our senior to drink a bottle.
You have to drink two bottles.
This is protocol. Do you understand?
We are little kids, aren't' we?
With quality like this, you can't work at JM.
In JM, you have to be ahead of others.
Don't worry. With me here, we will not be eliminated.
I am worried precisely because you are here.
You committed suicide and exposed your position.
Our team is the third one from the last.
No matter how you look at it, the chance for turnaround is not good.
Is staying in JM that important to you?
I don't know.
I don't yet know what I really want.
But before I find out the answer,
I won't chase empty dreams.
I would rather working my job at one hand,
and find out the answer at the same time.
When I learn the answer,
I will probably figure out whether JM is important to me.
Too deep.
Try to take it in.
To put it simply, I am not a person with smart and talent.
I know life will present many challenges,
therefore I will not give up anything easily.
If I can endure a moment longer, I will do so for another moment.
This is to put it simply?
It's still deep.
Come on.
For
the dream that I don't get, cheers.
For your not-so-remote
and achievable dream, cheers.
Never thought of this.
Other than Zhao Xia Chuan, you are the one who best understand me.
On what you just said, bottoms up for me.
Then me too.
One, two, three. Hurray to Instructor Li.
(JM Group)
We announce the scores of the military training next.
First place, Blue Team.
Yeh!
Second Place, Green Team.
It's us, us.
The third place is Red Team.
The fourth, Yellow Team.
Yeh!
The Fifth is Pink Team.
There are two teams left, Orange and Purple.
Sorry to tell everyone,
the eliminated team is...
Purple.
Song Nuan. It's great. Not you.
I just made it!
I almost have to sit there to cry.
Not you.
Xia Chuan!
Did you not want to stay in JM? What are you excited?
I made it through perils. I am happy.
Can't I be happy?
Congratulations!
Aye.
Song Nuan, congratulations.
Thank you. Congratulations.
Chairman, we have started quietly the small scale reduction in force, based on your instruction.
Of course we are using excuses like subpar individual performance.
The majority of the staff seem to accept it and already start to look for employment.
Of course there is discontent among some people.
I told you before that in addressing this type of issues,
you must explain with rationale and convince them with emotion.
Primarily you must rely on emotion to get them to accept it.
Understand. We are also helping them with job placement assistance at the same time,
but the size of the terminations is a little too large
to handle easily.
To be honest, if not for the difficulty the company encounters,
I would rather keep all the senior staff with us.
This time, I owe them.
It's fine. They will understand.
- Is that so?- Yes.
I hope so.
However, the staff reduction must continue.
Understand.
This bunch of useless senior staff,
It's decided to let them go.
However, we must be considerate with our approach.
Therefore, let's get those interns to handle this.
Let's them deal with it.
Understand. Even if those jaded employees want to complain,
they will blame the interns for this.
- Go ahead.- Ok.
Ning Ba La.
Come over here.
Sir Wang.
What happened to you recently?
Your colleagues all complained about your late arrival and early departure.
What time is it?
This is time for lunch. What are you doing here?
Do you still have the concept of working?
Not that, Sir Wang, I...
Don't give me any more excuses.
Don't think you can get preferential treatment because I train with you.
I am telling you. If I find out one more time, you can quit afterwards.
Enough.
We call it the day here.
Your next assignment is to go through every name on the list
and tell them one at a time that they don't need to come back to work.
You want me to fire them?
That's right.
No, no. I don't know how to fire people.
Then again, I am just an intern. I don't know how to do this.
Because you are an intern, you are asked to do these tasks hard for the regular employees.
Otherwise, what would we hire you interns for?
Work hard.
(Cheng Ai Lian)
Auntie, I have told you so many times not to tie up my mother.
We don't have any alternatives.
Mom,
I bought the Yellow Bridge sesame flat bread that you like.
I will loosen this. Please stay calm. Ok?
Mom.
It's my fault.
I have no skill.
No money to send you to the hospital.
I need to intern.
Can't be with you all day.
Please don't blame me.
Auntie tied you up.
Please don't resent her.
She has to take care of you every day.
And has to cook and wash diapers.
We already owe her a great deal.
Dad called to ask about your conditions.
He asked me to tell you that the family had a good harvest this year.
When we have enough money, we will take you to the hospital to get care.
Mom, are you happy?
Auntie.
What to do? There she goes again.
Hold her.
Hold her down.
Come.

Hello. How are you? I am looking for Fang Cui Hua.
I am from the HR Department of the Feng Hua Group. My name is Ning
Ba La.
- Sir Wang.- How many have you notified?
Not one?
I...
What? All these people must be fired within the week.
But you have to watch not to get the issue escalated. You must control the impact.
What kind of lousy mahjong?
What is the rush? I am at your door.
Master Chien, I have been waiting for you.
I am Ning Ba La from the HR Department of the Feng Hua Group.
Hang up.
Master Chien, company has sent me to discuss with you
I forgot to turn off the stove. Forgot the stove.
Master Chien!
What did you hang up on me just then? You got a problem?
I was stopped by the HR rep at your door.
Good thing that I reacted quickly and got away from her.
Did you get the wrong person?
They were only talking about it.
They talked about this year in and year out. Don't cry wolf. This is not real.
We know all the people in the HR department.
But they are smart. They sent a new kid I did not know.
Otherwise I would have been gone much sooner.
Did that, that kid leave yet?
- Should have left already.- Then hurry up back!
We three are all waiting for you on pins and needles.
We three missing you, what a pain. Come up soon.
Don't rush me. I am coming.
Master Chien.
You...you mistook me for someone else. My name is not Chien.
Master Chien.
The company needs to expand and must get new blood.
Don't worry. The company won't mistreat all the seasoned employees like you.
Enough, enough. I don't want to listen to you.
Hello.
Auntie.
Ok. I am coming right back.
Master Chien, I will return for you again.
She fainted after she became agitated and created chaos.
I could only call you.
Her medical history is in the purse? Yes, it's there.
Ok. Auntie. You just stay home.
Ok. Be careful.
What are you doing, you?
We have waited for you for half a day. And you are just pacing around in the house after you got here.
Why are you pacing in circles?
Are you sick? What happened to you?
I am trying to see where in your house we can put another bed.
Aren't you afraid that your wife will break you leg?
You think I harbor ill intention towards you, huh?
I am telling you. The person from HR is coming to my door.
Are you really doing it this time?
Based on this, I guess that it is likely to be true.
I am telling you. Last time my company reduced staff. They did the same thing. So irritating!
Bald head, the way I see this. We should
play mahjong in my house during the day.
We can play until nighttime before you go home, right?
I can't believe that they will follow you 24 hours without break.
Don't they need to eat and drink themselves?
That works. It can work.
Good idea!
Bald head, let me ask you about that..
What does that girl who chased after you look like?
She looks, looks like a boy.
Then she is new.
Is she an intern?
They call here something like...
- Something Ba...something La.- Ning Ba La.
That is right. Ning Ba La.
How do you know that?
It's...that...
I heard Hsiao Liu mention that once.
3 Won (a mahjong piece).
Just came back, I'm so tired.
I don't want to.
It's pretty good..
You're so annoying.
Fine, fine. I only love you, you're the only one in my heart. Happy?
You've been on the phone for 3 hours already.
I can't sleep. How can I sleep when I'm always thinking about you?
Some people can't sleep, but we want to go to bed. Can't they finish the call?
Ge Ge.
Nothing, it's just this crazy girl in our dorm.
Don't worry about her, let's keep talking.
No.
Now the whole world is more peaceful.
- Are you crazy? - You're crazy!
People like you with no class and who double-time are the worst.
You think I'll be scared of you if you act out?
- What are you two doing? - You think I'm scared of you?
- You're from the same dorm, stop fighting! - I'm not scared of you.
Stop fighting!
Stop fighting, you guys!
Let go!
You let go!
- You let go! - No, you let go
- You let go first. - You let go first.
- You let go. - You let go. - Let go!
What are you guys doing?
We're about to graduate, you want to get in trouble now?
Are you guys happy?
You're from the same dorm, aren't you ashamed?
Hurry and pick it up.
Stop.
Hello, Chen Ai Lian, what do you want?
What are you doing?
Who are you mad at?
If you have something to say, say it.
Isn't it the weekend tomorrow?
Mom wants to invite your dorm over to eat at home.
You want to have my friends over for a meal?
You talking about Song Nuan, right?
Isn't there another one called Ba La?
That's right, my dorm has only me, Song Nuan, and Ba La.
Alright, alright.
Ba La, you don't know. If you came back a bit earlier last night,
your skills would have sent her off to Wuzhi Mountain..
Makes so mad.
I heard you didn't lose out.
Of course, who am I?
How come Gao Wen changed so much lately?
I don't know.
Ba La! Ba La, come here.
Help Auntie out.
- Coming, Auntie. - Why is she calling you?
I don't know.
Auntie, do you need any help?
If you need anything, ask me. Why are you asking her?
Go help mom buy a bottle of soy sauce.
Ba La, come here.
Help me peel some garlic.
Alright.
Ba La, you're an intern at our company's
Human Resource department, right?
That's right.
- Is it busy? - Not bad.
Auntie is really curious,
what do you interns do?
We do whatever Director Wang tells us to do.
Then would there be
things they're not comfortable doing,
that they tell you interns to do?
Sounds right. We're interns, dirty or tiring work belong to us.
Auntie is telling you, they're really bad.
After they use those children,
they don't keep them at Feng Hua.
Used them as guns for free.
Do you understand what Auntie is saying?
I don't really understand, Auntie.
You're really such a sincere kid.
Alright, alright. Auntie will say it to you clearly.
In the end, they might not keep you at Feng Hua.
So think about what you're doing.
Keep some doors open for yourself.
Auntie, the garlic is all peeled.
Wait.
Is my name on that list?
- Which list? - The staff cutting list.
You're an honest child.
If it isn't, you would have said no as soon as Auntie asked you.
Alright, go. Go wait for Ge Ge.
Go on.

Baldie.
How are the past few days? How's it going with the Human Resources department?
Are they still waiting at your place?
I'm so smart.
I got a room at a hotel and lived there for a couple days.
They'll never find me.
What? Then where are you now?
At the office. I have to expense my medical fees.
Chen Ai Lian, let me tell you. The interns are too inexperienced to fight with us.
Mr. Qian!
Hello?
Mr. Qian.
My stomach hurts, I have to go to the washroom.
Don't follow me, I'm going to the men's room.
Why is this guy so careless?
Be careful!
You-
Mr. Qian, I understand how you feel.
But the company has already made the decision to cut staff.
I'm only reponsible for informing you.
You've made unforgettable contributions to the company,
the company will not forget you.
Don't say any more.
I know it hurts to have this happen to old employees like yourself.
But please believe the company is hurting as well.
Otherwise, they could just inform you through writing
instead of having me speak with you face-to-face.
Mr. Qian.
This is hard to handle, but you have to accept it.
I have so many people on that list,
including my friend's mom.
You think this is very hard on you all,
but actually it's hard on me too.
Mr. Qian?
Someone come! Help!
Someone come!
Someone, help!
Who are we in mourning for?
Is this part of our internship?
We don't even know their name, what's this?
What are we supposed to do?
Inside lies one of our company's high-level tenured employees.
Today we're representing the company in expressing last respects.
We're finally finished this task, right?
Looking at the relatives, they should be satisfied.
But everyone, don't leave. We have to stamp on the fire port.
Then we'll go back to the office.
Boss, people from Feng Hua.
Uncle Wang, what are you doing here?
What else would I be doing here?
Whose funeral?
It's a long story, I'll tell you another time.
Ba La! Ba La, what are you doing here?
This, this...
An old employee passed away.
Is it just like our company, where you cry a lot and you don't know who you're crying for? Really boring.
Why does the company make us interns do such meaningless work?
I know this person.
Also, he died because of me.
Why did he die because of you?
The company made me talk to him.
And then he suddenly had a heart attack.
Ba La, you're amazing.
You said one word to him and he had a heart attack.
Respect, respect.
This didn't happen to you.
If it did, would you be laughing like this?
Don't talk like that.
You think something big really happened to her?
Let's go check up on her.
Forget it, this is Feng Hua's business.
Let's not meddle. Come on.
You dare come here?
You bringer of death, you dare show up? Get out!
You took my husband's life.
Let go of me!
I'll kill you!
Let go of me!
Get out!
What are you doing, get away.
Let go of me!
Leave me alone!
Ba La!
You dare come back?
- Sister! - I'll kill you!
- Go away! Make her leave! - Ba La.
- Disappear right now! Disappear! - Go away!
- Make her leave!
The company knows it's not your fault. Leave now!
Leave, now! Go!
- Leave! - Go away!
- Ba La. - Don't you even know, you?
- You'll get your retribution.
Ba La, who are you burning this for?
An old colleague of mine at work.
What's his relation to you?
You want to die?
How can you light a fire here? Think about it, you can't have a fire here.
I, I, it's wrong even thinking about it.
Ignorant.
He Min, did you notice?
Ever since I became Vice President,
I haven't done a single proper thing, only coming to these funeral homes.
What do you mean?
Didn't you drink as well?
I don't even know what to say.
Is it changing seasons right now, and the older generations can't handle it?
Is there there a saying, you never know if tomorrow or an accident will come first.
So we the living should cherish it.
Makes sense.
Thinking about it, the striving and fighting seems meaningless sometimes.
Living is life's greatest wealth.
Boss, why don't we burn some incense at Jingan Temple on our way back?
Definitely necessary.
Normally, I don't want to work.
But coming here everyday, I think work is pretty good.
Do you know who it is today?
I don't know.
Holy, is this a banquet or a funeral?
Do you guys think she's the wife?
It really is rare.
It's true, she's dressed like an upper-class lady.
Maybe she's going for the Western look.
Moment of silence.
It's finally the weekend, my bones are about to fall apart.
I've never been in a Land Rover before, let's be high-end this time.
Quick, quick, quick.
Don't you like to stay fit? Walking is more healthy. Bye bye!
What, I'm walking?
Then-
Bye bye!
This-

Ge Ge.
I'm going home today.
You house is so far, don't go back.
I'm going back to change. Let's go.
Bye bye.
- You've completed a set? - Set's complete.
You're so lucky.
I'm going home to make dinner.
You're going?
Then I'll play.
- I've waiting for a long time. - We're going home for dinner too.
Just play for a bit more, I waiting a long time.
- We're done, maybe next time. - Sorry.
- You guys are eating? - We're going home to eat.
Are there still people here?
Then I won't walk you inside.
- Be careful on the way back. - Bye bye.
Bye bye.
You scared me, Chen Ai Lian!
Why are you here playing majong alone?
No one is playing majong with me.
Who was that just now? Was it Zhang Sheng?
It was.
Why are you being so sly? You guys are at the stage where he's dropping you off?
What did you guys do? Restaurant or a movie?
He's from a rich family, how can I climb the social ladder like that?
Yeah right, let me tell you. In this world
don't fear the impossible, fear the unimaginable.
Hurry, clear it up with him. If the situation is good, then get engaged.
Who rushes it like that?
Let me tell you, when we were in army training,
there was a round called Catch the Spy.
Then I clearly felt that he wanted to tell me something.
But he didn't say it clearly.
Then he likes you.
He likes you.
Find a time and have a meal with him.
Talk it through with him clearly and settle the matter.
Chen Ai Lain, you, you, you really think it's possible?
Then if I failed, it's your image that's tarnished.
Yeah right, what tarnished image? As if you'll fail.
Who am I, Chen Ai Lian? I've lived for half a lifetime, how can I not know things like this?
Come, come!
You're so big now.
Come, you two
can play majong with us. Play a bit, I'm asking you.
Alright, let's do it. Finally seeing an old friend.
I haven't played in a long time.
Let's get the rules straight.
Come, come.
Come on.
- Today is full of good news. - Are you happy? - I'm happy.
Zhang Sheng, are you free to talk?
It's nothing much,
I just want to have the chance to thank you for bringing me home.
Why don't I buy you dinner, how's that?
Alright.
Zhou Ge Ge.
Come here.
Hurry up.
Dilly-dallying.
Do you remember Madame Gan from the second funeral?
I remember.
Her husband was the Vice-President of our sales department.
An old leader. He made great contributions to the company.
It's been decided to spend money and take his relatives on a trip.
Treat it like a vacation. We're looking for someone to keep her company. This honoured task belongs to you.
