Episode 21
Uncle, seems that you found a new wallet.
Where did you get the money?
Ok. I will introduce myself to you once again.
Here.
Open your eyes and look.
Shun Shi Delivery Company - Song Guang Ming
President?
Dad, you found a job? As President?
President Song. Your reputation precedes you. I should be more respectful. Congratulations!
Sit, sit, sit.
Uncle, you are already the President.
Will you be able to help us change light bulb, mop floor, or repair the door in the future?
Uncle, will you be able to cook such delicious meals for us?
Hard to say.
Working as president, there will be more social functions to attend.
And my work will be a little busier,
but I still have to make my positions clear to you all.
You will be subjected to my vigorous supervision. You should never cross the line of propriety.
Then does mom know about this?
Not yet. I just started. Let's wait a couple of days.
You should call her now. I can then help you move back.
No rush, no rush.
Nuan, do you find me
in the way for you folks?
Not in the way but your snoring
affects others' sleep.
I snore? I don't snore.
You should ask my roommate if you don't believe me.
Zhang Sheng, do I snore?
No. Uncle sleeps especially quiet.
You can hear a pin drop.
Did you hear that? He is such a honest person.
Come, come. Try the dishes.
Hey...
Come on. Chill out.
Didn't your father find a job? Why do you still look worried?
I am worrying about the company.
Actually it would be easy if I talk to my mom. I can fix it in no time,
but I don't want to ask her.
If I ask for her help on everything,
it would show that I am too useless.
This is not your fault.
I...am just angry at myself.
You see
six years in elementary and middle school, high school for six years, and college for another four years.
Together I went to school for 16 years.
Before I stepped into the working life, I was full of confidence.
Only wanted an opportunity to prove myself.
Now I have the opportunity, but suddenly discovered that
I wasted 16 years on studying.
Isn't that the truth?
Endless waiting, but all I got was dismissiveness and snub.
No. I got to think of a solution.
I don't believe I can't figure it out.

Can't make it. No way. Straight, straight.
Nice.
Isn't this the intern with the highest net worth in JM?
That's right. Why does he look so jaded now?
Please tell us the painful ending.
- Fighting with your mother will lead to serious consequences.- That is right.
I told you clearly on the phone call.
You three. You three. You four.
It is really different after you became the intern - carrying such a heavy workload.
Are you taking on all the tasks of the entire intern group?
That's right. But he has been used to being in charge,
he calls the shot no matter where he goes.
Ever since my arrival, the mouths of you two have not take a break,
but I will tolerate it, because I am the beggar now.
Don't, don't, don't beg us.
Begging your mother will make this so easy.
It's better to beg you than her,
since you have such a harmonious relationship with your family.
We can't guarantee. We can only do our best.
Don't do your best - you must get it done.
Everyone, everyone.
Please sit down first.
I have an update for everyone.
These five people are all set.
This is great!
A competent man is so charming.
See you gloat. You are embarrassing me and Zhao Hsiao Chuan.
Director Cheng. the latest update is...
Enough. I heard it all.
One, two, three, four, five.
Well done. You are improving.
But the success of these five people
can only be credited to Zhang Sheng alone.
Why?
Regarding the evaluation, Zhang Sheng has a perfect score.
All the rest has zero. No need for me to explain the reason.
- Don't.- What do we do?
Why is it like this?
How did it become this way?
Then what should we do next?
What else can we do? We need to continue to invite the media.
Continue to invite the business moguls, and continue to hit the wall.
Let me take a look of these moguls.
Don't want your interference. We will get zero again otherwise.
I just try to brainstorm for you and make some suggestions. Is that ok?
These people are all leaders in the industry,
with strong background.
This time, you can't use the shot gun approach.
Must focus on specific ones to have breakthrough.
For example this one,
he is the strongest among the group.
If you can get him, the rest, I believe,
will just follow.
Dad, what do you want to say?
I know him.
Uncle, are you joking with us?
I know him.
Really?
Lu Ming Xuan, the chairman of Shanghai Tong Da Telecommunications.
Key player in Telecommunications. He is worth ¥2.8B in 2007
and ranked 39 on the list of top 40 wealthiest person in the Forbes China region.
He was awarded the honor of the top 10 outstanding achievement of the industry in January 2010.
Dad, you know him?
I know him.
I washed his feet.
Then uncle. How much tip did he give you at the time?
Is he generous? Is he the type who will spread his money around?
Uncle, is there any gossip on him? I could post them on the micro-blog.
This person, let me tell you.
He is very low-key.
Very approachable.
Since my first sight of him, I thought he looked very distinguished,
with impressive presence.
I was right. He is a VIP.
¥2.8B asset!
And that was in 2007.
My goodness.
Uncle. Do you know anything else about him?
He goes either Thursday or Friday nights for foot washing.
Are you sure?
Even though I am getting old, but my memory on something like this is still adequate.
Breakthrough - it's him.
Go, go, go. Hurry. Boss, boss.
Go, go, go away.
Go, go.
Don't make trouble.
Boss.
Chief, I just want to meet with Chairman Lu once.
Please do us a favor.
See Chairman Lu?
Is Chairman Lu someone you can just meet at will?
If I let you two enter, will I be able to open for business tomorrow?
Hey you.
Watch them and don't let them come in.
Yes.
Please help us.
There are all kinds of people.
Enough, enough.
What?
Enough, Ge Ge.
Why is this so difficult? What is the big deal to meet him?
Ge Ge, I think this method won't work. Let's try something else.
What else? Climbing through the window?
Do they have windows?
No windows.
Ge Ge, Ge Ge.
[Hiring 15 foot treatment specialists]
How about it?
It won't work. They know our faces. How can we get past them?
That is right.
Where are you from originally?
I am from the Northeast.
I am from the north Suzhou.
Have you done this before?
Education?
- Professional School.- Technical Institute.
Base salary ¥1,000. Is this acceptable?
Ok. Training fee ¥500 each.
Uniform deposit ¥150 each. Total ¥1,300.
Ah.
That, that. My apologies. That is not a lot of money,
but we have to be careful.
Will this money be refunded?
You will get it back in the first month.
Some named Hsiao Lan will be responsible for your training.
You two just wait here.
That, that.
Come, come.
It's ok.
Thank you, Boss.
The extra acting you improvised was great.
That, I was the chief of the college event planning department.
Nurture a tree by protecting its roots. Nurture a person by caring for his feet.
Regardless a man or woman, the most important part is to take care your feet.
Easier.
Sorry, teacher.
Teacher, may I ask a question?
What do we do if the customer's feet are smelly?
Tolerate.
What about skin diseases? Could they be infectious?
Yes, but
tolerate it.
This is the most fundamental discipline of this career.
Understand? Continue.
Be careful about the amount of force. Easy.
Hurry up.
Coming, coming.
Over there, there.
Ok, ok.

Niu Ai Li, I will show you that I can be a competent president.
Hurry up everyone. The truck came late today.
Put those designated for restocking in the warehouse and send out those meant for delivery.
Hey, everyone quickly, quickly. Here, one, two, three,
Vice President Li, you are busy.
- Come, come, come.- See. I am busy.
Ok, ok. Let me read it to you.
Here are the new policy and standards for the company.
First, to encourage our staff
for better commitment to the company,
we senior management should gather them every morning
for a 30-minute motivational speech.
Then to build stronger emotional bonds
- and that...- Please stop. I am really busy right now.
Can we talk about this later?
See. Your attitude is not appropriate.
You have violated the rule number 13 of our company policy.
See. I have it here. Number 13 clearly stated that
the President has the absolute leadership authority in this company.
Absolute, you remember. If the employee is dissatisfied or has any other emotional issues,
he may discuss them with the president.
But, these four words "talk about it later" is, remember, definitely unacceptable.
You can't say that again. Next I am will going to read
- this number 13...- You guys are too slow. Do you need help?
- Let me help you. - I am reading this for you.
Mr. Zhang, I can hardly take it any more.
The entire company can't take it any more.
Continuing like this, our company is going to close its doors.
You did not tell me before that
this person is so bossy.
He wants to set up new rules every day.
He chases after us to chat, and wants to have brainstorming sessions.
Isn't it true that my job as a sales manager is to increase our revenue?
Why is he talking about philosophy everything?
Enough, enough. Don't need to say anything more.
I am telling you that you will let him do what he wants.
I won't shortchange you a dime. I will increase the payment, ok?
That's it.
[Si Yu]
It is smart of you to recognize that I like oden.
What is this? You did not buy them for me?
This is my dinner.
I am here guarding the post.
You went to buy dinner. Normal people would expect you to buy for two.
I am back to take your place. You may go now.
Zhao Hsiao Chuan, how can you be so petty?
Not like a man at all.
The store clerk made a good recommendation.
One in curry flavor and another in hot and spicy sauce.
This is such as a tasty combination.
Zhao Ge Ge, you are too overbearing!
Have I not always been this way?
Ever since the first day you know me, was I not this way?
You did not say anything then.
You...I...
You must pay for my oden.
Ok. I can for sure pay for your oden,
but you need to wait for me in a good mood.
Then I can pay you for it. Please wait patiently.
Zhou Ge Ge, if not for work,
I will not be with you by myself.
Ok. Leave. There is the road.
Leave. Leave now. I won't send you off. Leave quickly.
It's Lu Ming Xuan.
Go to take a look.
Yes.
- Is it him?- It really is Lu Ming Xuan.
Really?
Make the call. Are you stupid?
Not here?
I am looking for him one room at a time. Is your intel accurate?
Ok. I got it.
- Master, master, working?- Right.
- Is the customer a man or a woman?- Man.
- Repeated customer?- Yes.
Let me bring the water for you. You go ahead for your next task.
Go, go.
Really proactive.
Here comes the water.
Come.
Why stands there? Get out.
Who lost all this money?
Boss, is that yours?
It is not mine.
What is the big deal over ¥20? Get out quickly.
¥20 is a lot of money. It can buy a bowl of hot spicy soup.
I take it to the reception.
Go, go, go.
This is great.
Miss. Miss. Are you tired?
Here, have some water.
Thank you, I was getting thirsty.
Drink more, drink more.
- I'm done, I'm done. - You work, I'll help you.
- Thank you. - No problem.
Done?
Done. Hands on work is really hard.
Lu Ming Xuan came. He's in there.
Really?
You saw clearly?
Surely, certainly, and definitely.
No, wait, wait, wait. Xiao Lian is inside.
Then what do we do?
Just wait a bit.
He'll come out soon.
Oh.
Miss. Miss, what's going on?
My stomach hurts, I need to go to the washroom.
Then what about the customer?
- Why don't we help you do it? - That's right.
The job is still yours. We're interns, let us practice.
- I don't know. - Give us a chance.
Alright, alright. Thanks.
Thank you Miss, thanks.
Miss.
What did you do?
Where's Xiao Lan? You two are...?
Hello, Director Lu. Using this approach to meet you is very bold of us.
We're interns for JM. My name is Zhang Sheng.
Hello, Director Lu, I'm Song Nuan. Our company is having a large meeting on the first of next month.
We want to invite you to attend.
Hold on.
You're not employees here?
Sit, sit, sit. Sit down.
Then why did you use this method to see me?
It's like this, Director Lu. We've contact you many times before.
However, your secretary says your schedule was very tight, and you had no time to see us.
We send you a letter of invitation afterwards, but didn't receive a reply.
By chance, we heard that you come here often.
To see you, we went from interns at JM to interns at Pedicure City.
This means you guys gave a lot of thought to this.
However, how are you so sure I'd agree?
We're using this method only to give us a chance to work hard.
Even if you reject us to our faces, it doesn't matter.
But at least it'll be an answer to me and our preparation team.
It's not because we didn't put in an effort,
it's because...
Because there are no things that are this easy in the world.
So accepting failures and setbacks is also a part of our internship.
This isn't a place to discuss business.
I appreciate the courage of you young people,
and also the honest words just now.
But I don't have to agree to you
just because you used this pitying tactic.
Since you were already mentally prepared,
then let's continue with the pedicure.
- Yes. - Alright.

Are the reports ready? Let me see.
Good job! Keep up the good work.
It's here, here.
That's right. Turn to the next page.
That's right, that's right. Good.
Alright, Director Li. I got it!
I'll proofread it one more time then send it to your inbox.

Come in.
CEO Song, do you have time right now?
I do, I do. You're here to have a heart-to-heart, right?
Welcome! You're the company's first.
Here, here. Sit.
CEO Song.
Li San, he...
Li San is harrassing me.
Could it be that you misunderstood?
Misundertood? CEO Song.
Come here for a second.
Come here.
Please sit.
Look forward.
Do you think this is a misunderstanding?
- Do you still think this is a misunderstanding? - What are you doing?!
This is the office! Nonsense.
CEO Song, I can only say these things to you.
I've put up with him for a while now.
He harasses me whenever he has free time, pawing me.
I have a boyfriend.
If he keeps being like this to me,
I really can't live anymore!
Don't, don't, don't. Since you're on this earth,
it's not easy to be alive.
Don't worry about this, I'll help you take care of it.
Don't- Don't tell him. If you tell him,
how can I stay at this company?
If I don't tell him, how do I take care of this?
Just hit him on the side.
Don't tell him I'm the one that told you.
In a roundabout way?
Then, then let me think about it.
You can go back to the office first.
Thank you, CEO Song.
Before he called the shots in the company,
now we finally have someone in a higher position than him.
This is why I was brave enough to tell you.
Yes, that's right.
In a roundabout way? How do I go around?
Li San, come to my office.
Just come for a bit.
- CEO Song, what did you need me for? - Come, come. Sit.
If it's nothing important, I'll be going.
Sit down. I want to talk to you about something.
Being so mysterious.
What is it?
Li San, right now it's work hours.
That's right.
Look forward.
How does this feel?
I feel absolutely horrified.
CEO Song, are you okay?
How does this feel?
How do you want me to feel?
I want you-
CEO Song! What do you want?
I want to have a heart-to-heart with you.
Just a chat.
Don't come! You're- What are you doing? I'm going!
He can't be like that, right?
Not proper at all, I really couldn't tell.
He should have understood.
Right, this is what I meant.
We're about to have a new conference soon, do you have time?
Xiao Chuan, hurry up.
Zhang Sheng, did you leave the right phone number?
It's right. Cellphone, landline, I left it all.
Hello?
Yes.
Okay. Alright.
Okay, thank you.
Lu Ming Xuan's secretary.
Oh no. Looking at your end-of-the-world expression, I know it's over.
I knew it wouldn't work.
Good thing I didn't go give a pedicure.
How can you think of yourself every time?
I angered you with one word?
It's okay, it's okay.
They must have a reason for not coming. At least we tried our best.
You guys all said it. I never said he wasn't coming.
You mean, it worked?
It worked. It worked. It worked!
Everyone's been invited right? The gifts we give out that day are very important too.
We cannot put our company to shame. They have to be gifts that are worthy of those big shots.
Do you undertstand?
I- I understand. But Teacher Hao,
I don't know where I should buy high end gifts from.
I've never bought them before.
Are you a modern person or not? Don't they say you kids are ahead of the times?
Watch. This app have everything in it.
Do you see? It's easy to use.
Go download it. Report back to me after you choose one.
Okay, okay. I got it.
- Go now. - Thank you, Teacher Hao.
Hold on.
- Is the report ready?- Almost done.
Hurry up.
How is everything lately? Any difficulties?
May I help?
What are you doing?
No, not that. I just slipped.
This is a new jacket. This tea, I won't be able to get rid of the stain!
How am I supposed to work like this?
No, no, it's nothing. Come to my office.
- I still need to work.- It's ok. I will help you.
You...I...
Li Sam, that day
I told you about the rules. I discover that you have not understood me yet.
What are you talking about?
Other than touching me, I did not hear what you said.
Did I not talk about physical contact between men that day?
You seemed rather uncomfortable.
I think that physical contact between a man and a woman,
particularly when the woman does not agree,
especially from the supervisor to the subordinate,
how do you think they feel?
What are you trying to say exactly? I don't get it.
You don't get it? Then I will have to tell you directly.
They have come crying in front of me to complain.
I think you are a VP of the company.
You have the ability to reflect on your actions, and change your behavior to become a new you.
Therefore, I am trying to keep your face.
This is slandering against me!
See, see, see. Please don't get so agitated.
I didn't even say the name of the complainant and you confess yourself so quickly.
Why do you keep on interfering with my business? This is my company.
Listen to yourself. Why do you talk so loud?
I am the president. I don't even say that this is my company.
In addition, the management of our company is just like the traffic regulations.
Our goal is to train our people, not to penalize them.
Don't say any more. I don't want to hear it.
What attitude is this!?
After letting you work as the president, you are now trying to order everyone around?
As if it is real.
Can't you just stay here without causing trouble?
Creating problems every day. If you dare, then go ahead and fire me.
Let's see who stays here at the end.
You are such a lawless bastard.
You...
How did you get here?
Here are your stuffed buns.
Here. Have a hot bun first.
What a leader! Do you need to get so angry?
Those people are hard to manage.
Being a leader requires artistic talent.
Do you understand, Teacher Song?
I will improve the next time.
I am just here to take a look.
To see if Song Nuan is hiding the truth for you.
Whether she has been building you up to something you are not.
Your daughter is an honest girl.
She never lies. You need to trust her.
That I have to see with my own eyes.
I am afraid.
Yes, yes. Come. Eat.
This way. After we finish eating here,
I welcome you to visit our company to inspect for your satisfaction.
Crap! I lost my mind.
Why did I get involved in this nonsense?
What made you so mad?
Nothing, nothing. I wonder what I saw magpie (symbol for good luck) this morning?
It's got to be good news. It turns out that it's because you are visiting us.
I, am really your good luck charm. I come to sign the contract the next 6 months.
Here. Go over it quickly.
Good.
Sign, sign, sign.
After we sign the contract, now my heart can rest up a bit.
The reason for my anger a while ago, has a lot to do with you young master of the company.
What happened?
You cannot tell Chairman Jin.
Speak quickly.
It's like this.
Listen to me. Hurry up and call Zhang Sheng to decline this arrangement.
If Chairman Jin learns about this, you won't get any benefit from this incident.
One thing Chairman Jin detests the most is Zhang Sheng's habit of using the name of the company to gain favors from others.
Please don't tell anyone else.
You should call first. I am leaving.
Hello, what is the matter?
Young Master Zhang, it's easier to invite the headache than to get rid of it.
My company is really too small a temple to support such a big Buddha like Song Guang Ming.
Could you please ask him to leave?
I say why are you being so difficult? Did I not already agree to pay you more?
I thought in the beginning the money was a good enough incentive for me.
However in the last few days, it seems that there are a thousand flies circling inside my head, humming in there.
I really can't take this any more. I don't want the money.
Let's do this. Don't get emotional.
I can give you another increase.
This is not about money. I feel I am suffering serious mental damage.
Double.
That...
I will only do this with great reluctance. This is really not about money, but our friendship.
I wanted to repay your favor.
Ok. I know. I am still working.
That is it, then.
Double.
It is pretty easy to make money this way.
Chairman, please don't let Zhang Sheng know that I am the one who told you about this.
Ok. I know. You may go.
Ok.
Madame, the outfit for young master has been cleaned and is ready for delivery.
Ok. You ask the driver Hsiao Ma
to deliver it to his apartment.
Young Master is not staying at the apartment but staying in the city suite.
What did you say?
Go. Let's go there.
- Smells good. Smells too good.- Don't add any more water. It is going to spill.
What is the occasion today for this hot pot?
There is no special occasion. I am just not in a good mood.
Let's have a casual meal.
Did you run into any trouble at work?
When a small company encounters a problem, we solve it right away.
To use the expression of you young people,
is called "under my control."
- Dad.- Here.
What kind of sauce do you all use?
With garlic, or with sesame paste.
And another. I will make them for you.
I eat with sea food.
Here.
Maybe it's delivery of drinks I just ordered. Can someone help get the door?
Let me wash my hands.
Shrimp.
You, you.
No, no. Who are you looking for?
Here comes the meat.
Mom, how did you get here?
Young master, I am sorry.
Why do you apologize to him?
Look at how happy he is right now.
And so many people to keep him company.
It seems that you are a real family.
We are the outsiders.
Yow!
How do you do? You are Zhang Sheng's mother.
Excuse me. I am Song Nuan's father. My name is Song Guang Ming.
Have you not eaten? Come and eat with us.
No need to be courteous. I just wanted to know
your gathering here today is just to celebrate the occasion
or you all live here?
We are only staying here temporarily. You don't need to be concerned.
I am watching over them. They have all behaved very well.
Zhang Sheng.
You come with me for a moment.
Timing and Subtitles by The Go 4 The Best! Team @ Viki
You are getting more and more reckless. How can you bring in all these strangers to live here?
They are not strangers but my friends.
What is the problem for me to be with my friends?
This place is under my name. Without my permission,
how can you take them in to stay here?
How dare you use this place to show off?
You haven't even grown your own wings yet. You already want to be the savior?
That is right. I heard that you are paying the salary of Song Nuan's father. Is that true?
Aren't you smart to use this method to chase girls?
Aren't you stealing from your mother? Aren't you using your mother's money to chase your girl?
I am willing.
I am willing to feed them. I am happy when I am with them like part of a family with them.
I don't when I am with you.
Other than money, what else can you give me?
What else do you want to get from me?
I want a mother. That is what I want.
