Episode 2
It is over.
Everything is gone
One fire
My mum is gone
House is ruined
I now have nothing left
Why do you have nothing left?
You still have me
Qi Zhen, don't give up. You have me.
I will help you to rebuild your house
I believe you will
I believe
you will give me a home
Qi Zhen
What happened? Have you found the arsonist?
No
In future, the both of you, what plans do you have?
Don't worry
I will work hard to earn money, to rebuild the house
And give Qi Zhen a stable home
I believe you can do it
But to rebuild a house is not an easy task
Aunt just passed away, according to tradition
if you don't get married within 100 days,
Qi Zhen will have to wait 3 years
It's alright, I'm willing to wait
But I can't watch you wait
What you do mean by this?
To allow Aunt in heaven to be at peace,
the both of you better get married soon
This money is for you to rebuild the house
- And get married earlier - Mister Du
I'm very grateful to you
But I owe you too much
I can't trouble you anymore
I know you have pride
But now pride can't build your house back
if you are not willing, just take it as a loan
Thanks for your concern
But...
In front of Qi Zhen
I'm only left...
with my little bit of pride
So I think depending on myself
to rebuild a house for Qi Zhen
An Hua
Our future home will belong to the both of us
I also want to work and earn some money
And contribute to our home
You want to work?
How can that be?
I'm worried
Don't you want to open an oil factory?
If I can contribute
you can achieve your dream earlier
I understand what you mean
But..
But my heart will ache
Your heart aches for me, then my heart won't ache for you?
I've decided
Please don't stop me
The both of you can go through thick and thin together
I believe your dreams will come true early
I give you my blessings
Thanks Mister Du
What we need now is blessings
Qi Zhen
You've never worked outside
If it is too tough or tiring
I won't let you do it
Qi Zhen
I just delivered some beans to Mrs Huang's tofu factory
She's looking for workers
Do you want to try?
Making tofu isn't easy.
Not just waking up early, you have to do selling everyday
Can you do this type of work?
I can! I can really do it!
To be honest my family just went through something
A big fire made me lose my mother
and house
So, I really need this job!
Poor child
Then...
Alright, You can stay here
- Thank you! - Thank you madam!
You're welcome. But, I have to make things clear
I'll give you $5 every month, with food & lodging
Is that alright for you?
Yes! I will work hard!
Thank you!
Then, I'll get your room ready. Wait a while.
- Thank you - Thanks
With Madam looking after you, I feel relieved
I can head to the city to find a job
Huh?
You're leaving so soon?
You're already working so hard How can I slack?
But
You've been with my family since you were 10 years old
The both of us have never been separated
Qi Zhen, don't be like this
I also can't bear to part with you
But this can't be helped. I promise you
When I find a job, saved up enough money,
I will come back immediately.
To rebuild our home with you.
By then, we won't be separated at all
But
I can't bear to see you go
Don't worry
I'm not going somewhere far away
I promise
Once I'm free I will head back here to visit you
You promise?
I promise!
Mister Du
I've followed your orders as you wished
Thanks Mrs Yu
I will keep my promise, whatever beans you want in future
I will offer them to you at wholesale price.
Yo...
This is so embarrassing, I just helped you with a small favour
And you gave me such a big benefit
- Thanks a lot - That should be the way.
We don't need workers here
I really need this job
Ay...
We don't need workers here. Leave
I know how to do this
I can do it myself
Don't disturb me here. Leave leave leave
No, leave
Uncle,
are you sure it is here?
I'm positive, Young Mistress.
That bottle of fragrant oil, I picked it up right here
But, we've been waiting for almost 4 hours
but we don't see anyone
Uncle,
There are many things waiting for me to do at the oil factory.
We can't wait any longer
- Aunt! - Yes
Aunt
Do you remember... a few days agothere was a young man selling fragrant oil here?
Yes I remember. His fragrant oil is really good
I even bought a big bottle. Why?
We're looking for the young man
If he comes here again to sell his fragrant oil
Please tell him the Xue Family's madam is looking for him.
Please ask him to come over to the Xue residence.
Alright. I remember it
No problem
Thanks Aunt
You're welcome Good bye
- Young Mistress let's go back. - OK. Let's go.
And I thought it would be easier to find a job in the city
But I didn't think that they would look down on a country bumpkin like me.
Hey, young lad! Come here, come here!
I'm calling you! come here!
That day...
You are the one selling fragrant oil right?
Yes
Xue Family's Oil Factory... Have you heard of them?
I've heard of them
What's the matter?
Madam Xue left you a message
She wants to see you urgently
and she wants you to go to her place
Madam Xue wants to see me?
Xiu Yan.
Madam.
Have you found the one who sold the fragrant oil?
Madam, I've left a message for him
Maybe we will have news soon
Continuing with this bitter wait, isn't the solution
Yes
The handover date is getting near
If we still can't find him, we won't be in time
That lad is really god?
I don't believe our Xue Family
without him
can't produce top quality fragrant oil
Xue Chuan Zhong
Don't just stand there and talk.
If there is another choice or person,
will mom and I be so worrisome?
Yes, yes, yes. Consider me nagging.
You guys... continue to wait.
Madam, Miss, the guy who sell fragrance oil is here.
Master, please.
You are the one who sell fragrance in the market place?
Yes
Manager Zhen, Yes.
Bring the thing out.
Yes, Madam.
Did you produce this fragrance oil?
That's right.
Please take a seat.
Bring the tea out.
Madam,
please speak your mind.
There is no need to be courteous.
Okay
Sure, I will be straight forward.
I like the fragrance oil you made very much.
Can you please share the recipe to us?
Of course, we wouldn't cut down on the payment.
Oh, I see. This is about it.
This recipe for making this fragrance oil
is my Teacher secret recipe for me.
I can't be possible betraying his trust.
I am sorry. I will take my leave now.
Master, please wait.
Since you don't want to share the secret recipe,
how about coming over to our factory and be our head master?
Your salary will be $30 a month.
How about that?
$30...
If you are unsatisfied, we can discuss it further.
Look as if they
really need my skill.
If you want me to be the master, it can be done.
However, the monthly salary...
I want $100 per month.
Not a single cent less.
This price is worth a thought.
If we can learn this skill in a month,
it is worth it.
Alright.
We follow your asking. So, this matter is settle.
So, settle it?!
Mom,
This is $100.
It is many folds of ordinarily people's salary.
Who know if he is really skillful or bluffing off.
What if he is a fake?
In these years, liars...
I have seen many.
Xiu Yan, what do you think?
I...
I don't think he is (a liar).
Huh...
Why not...
where is the factory?
I can prove it right away.
Yo...
You are really...
boastful.
Please lead the way.
Is this the kind of factory I have been always dream of?
In the future,
I must have such a factory that belong to myself.
Master Zhao.
Can you begin making the fragrance oil?
Yes.
Everyone,
please put down the work you have now.
This is the Master that I have just employed,
Zhao An Hua.
Please listen to his instructions.
Please cooperate with him in making fragrance oil.
Sure.
Troubling all of you.
Alright,
Dipping.

Don't you worry.

Add more woods.
Yes.
Add more woods.
Hold on a second.
Continue.
That should be good.
Madam, please try it.
That's right. It is the fragrance.
Thanks everyone for helping.
Thank you very much.
Song Er, bring the tea.
Master Zhao please have a seat. You work hard.
Thank you, Ma'am.
Ma'am have some tea.
Master Zhao, please have a tea.
Thank you, Ma'am.
Thank you.
This is from premium tea leaf.
Please drink it to quench your thirst.
Thank you.
Manager Zhen,
please bring $100 for Master Zhao.
This is a bonus from me.
Yes, Madam. Huh... Madam,
you don't need to... I know.
You won't lack anything by living with us here.
But now, you are Xue's oil factory's head master.
You should have some money with you.
Once a while, you have to bride those workers.
Then, they will obey you.
Understand?
Alright then.
Since Madam is so kind,
I won't reject it either.
That's right to do.
Manager Zhen, please bring Master Zhao to guest room for a rest.
Master Zhao, the guest room is at the back.
Okay.
Madam, I shall my leave.
Please.
Have him stay at the guest room?
What is this?
Zhao An Hua is only a worker.
Why do you let him stay in the guest room?
What do you know?
I have my reason to do so.
You only look at the surface.
You will never seen how deep a water can go.
True. I don't understand.
I even can't understand
why you favor a worker
over your son.
If you have half of what he process
I won't be so worrisome.
Okay, okay. Consider I spoke too much.
I am getting scolding for nothing again.
I will disappear. Okay?
Consider me unlucky.
When will this kid be mature?
Mom, this round, you can't blame him for being immature.
Even I don't understand,
why do you need to be so polite to Zhao An Hua?
He is just a newly hired master.
And yet, you arrange him to stay at the guest room.
Will not the other workers speak evil of it?
You guys... just not experience enough.
Zhao An Hua isn't any ordinarily master.
You have seen how he work earlier.
His skill isn't something you can learn.
Xiu Yan, didn't you always want
expand Xue's oil factory?
If you get hold of Zhao An Hua,
he can surely help you to reach your goal.
Please.
Master Zhao, please have a rest.
If you need anything, please give the order.
Oh. Thanks for the trouble, Uncle Zhen.
Okay.
I am alone in this comfortable room.
If Qi Zhen comes and stay here,
that will be great.
Qi Zhen,
I miss you very much.
Are you missing me too?
If Qi Zhen knows that I have been recruited,
she will be happy for me.
Tomorrow, I will officially start work.
Now, I will go back
and tell Qi Zhen this good news.
Yo... Master Zhao.
You sure in a hurry. Where are you going?
I'm sorry,
I didn't know
I need to report to you where my about in Xue family.
No, no, no. You don't need to report to me.
However, your background is unknown.
On top of that, you are staying at the same house with your master.
Just in case...
I am Xu's young master.
Just helping Xue Family nosing around.
What do you mean?
Nothing.
Just only...
wanting to search your body.
Don't bully others.
How am I bullying others?
Zhao An Hua.
If you have nothing to hide,
why are you afraid of my body search?
Servants...
Servants! Servants!
Yes...
Hold him.
What?
Hold him.
Okay.
What is this?
This is my money.
You are only a poor guy.
Where did you get all these money?
If you didn't steal it,
did you pick it up?
Let go.
This is a spending money that Madam Xue give me.
Spending money?
Stop using my mother's name to step on me.
Let me tell you. Since birth
I have never heard that my mother give any worker
so much spending money.
Stop using this to lie to me.
Hear it?
Alright.
I know.
You can't see me in the eye.
That's fine.
Speak the words,
I will leave Xue family in no time.
I will leave right away.
After been a thief, you want to leave?
Not that easy.
I am not a thief.
Don't accuse me.
I accuse you?
Zhao An Hua!
If you have the guts to pick up the money from the ground,
I will believe you are innocent.

Stop it, Qiong Sheng. Mom. Stop it.

I caught him red handed.
You even treated him as a VIP.
He is a thief. Stop it.

have you finish throwing tantrum?
Mom asked Manager Zhen give him the spending money.
It isn't from stealing.
Huh?
Yes, that true, Young Master.
Mom?
You are really generous.
You just give away $100 to a stranger.
I am your son. Normally,
when I asked the accounting department for a little money, I get scolding.
In conclusion,
he is more like your son.
I am more like a stranger.
You accuse others without proper investigation.
And yet, you are here, yelling and whining.
Hurry, apologize to Master Zhao.
Why do you blame me?
I... how should I know you will give him $100 all a sudden.
Mom...
I only protecting Xue family.
It is clearly you are in the wrong.
Still you won't admit it.
You totally have no class ethic.
If you continue this way, how do you expect the servants to obey you?
Mom?!
She is right.
You have misunderstood Master Zhao this time.
Go and apologize to Master Zhao.
Hurry.
I'm sorry.
Forget it.
The truth is out.
Thank you for your forgiveness, Master Zhao.
Everyone, listen up.
Master Zhao is hired by our Xue family factory as head master.
In the future, if anyone dare to disrespect him,
it means you are disrespect our Xue family,
and didn't want to continue to work here.
Do you understand what I am saying?
Yes Miss.
Chun Chong, same goes with you.
Have you heard it?
Got it.
You don't need to be so loud.
I'm sorry.
I am sorry.
Thanks, Uncle Chen.

You all must be more respectful!
Oh!

Give way please.
Fresh tofu!
Tofu for purchase!
Selling... An Hua.
An Hua. Qi Zhen.
You have worked hard.
$100 monthly salary?
Xue family give such a high salary.
An Hua, they must need you very much.
Actually, they have been looking for me for a while.
Their purpose is to have me helping to make Du's only secret recipe for fragrance oil.
No way.
My father passed you the skill, it is not mean for others to have it.
Of course, I only want to earn some money.
I won't let the cat out of the bag.
On top of that, I only help them for a month. When I receive the money, I will be back.
I want to marry you in a 100 days.
Not only I want to let Aunty rest in peace,
I also want Young Master Du to know. I am a man who keep his words.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I am just happy for you.
Ya... what happen to your hand?
It's nothing. Nothing? How does it become this way?
Hurry and tell me. Did you suffer any insult?
Xue family has treated me as VIP.
How could I suffer? I accidentally bump into it.
Really? Of course.
Look.

Huh? I can't even reject it. Give you spending money?
They still give you spending money?!
And this is a lots.
That's right.
They treat me very nicely. I can't even reject it.
This... take it.
Save it for our wedding.
No need, An Hua. Take it.
An Hua, have you thought...
why they trusted you so much?
On top of that, they give you such a high salary.
Don't you think something is fishy?
Why is this fishy? They didn't spend on me for nothing.
They need my skill to go thru a hardship.
Therefore, they paid to keep me.
That's good. Since they look highly upon you,
you have to work hard, not to disappoint them.
Don't worry. I will work twice as hard.
Before the day gets dark, I will help you to sell the tofu. And then send you home.
Hmm. Be careful.
Let's go.
Be careful with it.
Thank you. Please go safely.
Qi Zhen, all sold.
What are you looking at? So intensively.

Both of you have great eyes. These are top quality jade.

Come.
I will put it on you too.
Hee...
I will never take this jade off me.
Even I passed away...
I forbid you to say such unlucky words.
Aiyo, why are you so anxious?
Of course, I am.
In this world, you are the only left for me.
What I mean...

I like this saying.
Should this day come true. If you leave before me,

Aunty Lai, cool down first. Why not...
You see, tofu beauty, Liu Qi Zhen is still young.
You asked her to pay you such a large sum in a short time, this will be too difficult for her.

Master Zhao. This is a newly import sesame.
This sesame cannot be used. Exchange them.
Master Zhao. This is new arrival.

Sis, are you looking for me?
Xue Chun Chong, you...
You smoke pipe in the house?!
I didn't.
Didn't?
Sis, sis! I...
Then, what is this?
Look what have you done?
I am bored. And feeling down.
Thus, I smoke a little to comfort myself.
Sis, only two puffs.
You still argue.
Oh, you feel bored and down, so you have to smoke pipe?
According to your theory, Mom and I run the factory, face so many difficulties,
shouldn't we became a big smoker?!
You can't blame all on me.
I turn out to be this way... it is your wrong doing.
What are you saying? You did wrong and still blaming on Mom and me?
Who disagree?
I am the Young Master of the Xue family.
But you scolded me in front of Zhao An Hua. I have been humiliated.
This humiliation... how can I swallow it?
Can't swallow it? Then, fight for an honor.
You have no bone. Why even looking for a face?
That's right.
In your eyes', I, Xue Chun Chong, is a useless bump.
Now, Xue factory has Zhao An Hua. What am I now?
Tried your best to life him up. Don't bother about me.
What kind of jealousy is this? Why are you so immature?
We spent so much money to hired Zhao An Hua, treat him nicely. What is that for?
It is all because of our Xue family brand name.
And you? You are Xue family only man. What have you done?
I... I also like to help.
You still argue. That batch of sesame you import has gotten wet and mold. Do you know?
How can it be? Unless that guy fool me.
Disgusting. I must go and look for him.
Stop it there.
Once mistake discovered, you just run away. I know what you are up to.
Speak. Did you get a cut back from him?
I... I...
Sis,
I admit receiving some cut back.
But that boss promise me that
sesame batch is top quality. At least those he shown it to me.
I also don't know how it turn out to be this way.
Because of your greed, why don't you know that the goods were exchange?
I...
See Mom with me.
Let's go.
Sis.. I don't want to see Mom. Go. Sis...
Sis... sis...
