Episode 3
Our teacher said that a woman who's good at bowing to others -- she's called Bai Liu Su.
That man who thumbs his nose at the world -- he's called Fan Liu Yuan.
It's the occupation of Hong Kong that helped them realize their love.
In 1941, Japanese soldiers bombed Hong Kong's Repulse Bay. It was a moment of immediate death for many.
Can Eileen Chang's "Love in a Fallen City" really be considered just a novel? [Note: preceding story is from this novel]
In the early hours of the morning of September 21, 1999,
Mama and Ji Ru were at the hospital taking care of a sick grandfather.
Dad hadn't gotten off work yet. Ji Xuan also hadn't returned yet.
The world suddenly started shaking.
Namo Emituofo [Buddhist incantation]
- Zhou Bei Ai! - Dai Yao Qi...
Dai Yao Qi, I'm over here!
- Where? - Here!
- Where is "here?" - I don't know!
I don't know! It's too dark! I can't see anything!
It's ok, don't be afraid. As long as you keep talking, I'll find you.
I don't know what to say
Then sing. As long as I can hear your voice, it's fine.
Sing?
Zhou Bei Ai is the third child.
Her legs are long, but she can't run fast. Her head is big, --
I found you.
I didn't call him "older brother" again,
because my own "Love in a Fallen City"
began that day, in that moment.
♫ One path, one situation, sometimes there's no other way ♫
♫ Who can persist until the end? ♫
♫ Some sort of patchwork figure ♫
♫ The wind arrives as the rain stops ♫
♫ You arrive, but I've just left ♫
♫ Love arrives, right on target ♫
♫ The clouds arrive and someone leaves ♫
♫ The rain arrives and gets everything wet ♫
♫ Everyone leaves, and it's all washed away ♫
An incurable illness!
Do you know how much I cried?
I was almost dehydrated from it, did you know that?
Can you really joke about death?
Can you mess with people like that?
I didn't expect you to be so treacherous.
I also didn't expect that I had it in me all along.
I blame Grandma's Korean dramas.
How have you still not gotten it? Is the tree growing taller or are you shrinking?
You obviously hung it too high on purpose.
Are you thirsty? All right, I'll help you get it.
Then first tell me the reason why you committed the crime.
First, get the mung bean soup down for me.
First tell me the reason why you committed the crime.
-You first. -You first!
Ai yo? You still have the nerve to haggle with me?
You have no sense of loyalty. You're unfeeling!
You've lied to me about as many as times as 30 bowls of green mung bean soup haven't you?
What's this now, you just laughing at my work that took lots of effort to make now?
But I think you are just...
God, I appreciate your sense of righteousness!
There's still half a bowl left. It's all yours.
Hurry up.
Where are you going? Hey, there's still some soup left!
What are you doing?! Hey!
What are you doing?
I can also have my revenge!
I'm going to count to three. Give it back by then or you're dead!
Who's scared of whom? Don't you love revenge?
Come get it!
One, two, Zhou Ji Wei!
- Have you heard this saying before? - Jiu Bei Ai!
"A pair of good shoes can take us wherever we want to go."
Cinderella relied on her broken shoe to find happiness.
Then, after losing his shoe
will Dai Yao Qi be unable to leave?
I really want him to stay here. I really want both of us to stay here.
not growing up and not changing.
Ok, how do you feel? Are your shoulders more relaxed?
Yes, they feel really relaxed.
That's good. Then sit for moment.
- I'll spread out the towel for you. - Ok, thank you.
Ok, wait here a moment.
It was a grand opening.
And guess who I ran into?
Grandma Dai and Yao Qi!
Grandma hasn't changed at all, except that her hair has gotten whiter.
She wanted me to send you her regards.
Oh, and I forgot to tell you the most important part.
Most importantly, my monthly salary rose to TWD$50,000.
So, later on, I can definitely send you TWD$10,000.
TWD$15,000
Huh?
What "huh?"
You pay $10,000 for rent, $20,000 for food, transportation and clothes, and you can save $5,000.
What about Dad?
When did Dad take money from you?
You think I'm blind?
Come here.
What is this? Did a bird poop on you?
It's all over you. Why are you all sticky?
I was eating mung bean soup with Yao Qi just now. I wasn't careful and I spilled.
He came back?
Yeah. He said he wanted to come back and see everything again.
Where is he?
I don't know.
Give him a call and tell him to come over for dumplings.
OK.
TWD$15,000... You're so ruthless.
What is it?
Mama Zhou wants you to come over for dumplings.
I'm already on the train.
-To where? -Taipei.
What about your shoe?
Since you like it so much, I'll give it to you. See you in Taipei.
Zhou Bei Ai is the third child.
Her legs are long, but she's not fast.
Her head is big, but she's dumb.
It's really a sorrow (bei ai).
Sure enough, I couldn't keep Dai Yao Qi here.
I couldn't stop time. I couldn't hold onto those days.
The price of those vegetables is getting higher every day.
They're getting so expensive, I don't know how I'll be able to buy them.
But luckily, someone in our family is volunteering to help send me more money.
Ai yo. This is the stuff for Zhou Ji Xuan to eat.
She doesn't eat chives, but your dad loves chives. The two of them are so troublesome.
How is all of this here?
Put it back. Put it all back. Just throw it in.
Ok, this is the way I see it.
Next year, once your dad retires, we'll all move in with you in Taipei.
Didn't you say the company you work for is really good? Get your sisters jobs there.
Don't count me in.
You never want to do what we're doing.
We don't have to do this thing together.
If we don't do this together, what would we do together?
What are you going to do if I sell this place?
I have a place.
Huh?
What did you say?
I bought a place.
Wah, Ji Ru, you're amazing!
When did you save up enough money to buy a place?
So you don't need to consult with me before buying a place?
It's a pre-order house. 2 rooms, 1 living room. 20 square feet. It's supposed to be finished building next year.
It'll be ready next year.
Amazing.
What should we do?
Keep wrapping dumplings.
You have to learn from Ji Ru.
She didn't let your mom know how much money she earned.
Weird. What does Mom want all that money for?
She wants you guys to give her money so she'll know you're living well.
And then everywhere she goes, she can flaunt that even though she had three daughters,
daughters are more filial and more capable.
Hey Dad? This time, I'll be really capable.
Dad doesn't need you all to be too capable.
Your happiness is more important.
Mom said you're retiring next year.
Originally I wanted to retire.
It's because I sprained my hip previously when I was moving that big car.
I'm old.
But later, I thought,
after I retire, what am I going to do every day?
Could it be that every day I'd be accompanying your mom in watching her Korean boyfriends?
Hey, your mom is really foolish.
Every boy she sees she likes.
Dad, are you jealous?
Your dad isn't willing to be that.
Anyway, our income on my retirement pension
will become smaller.
If we spent it all on you and your sister's marriages, what would we do, then?
Furthermore, look,
Zhou Ji Xuan is already in her thirties.
She's always been selling clothes. She doesn't earn enough to cover her own expenses.
I've been thinking, if I give her some capital to help her open her own clothing store,
then even if she doesn't get married in the future,
she'll still be able to provide for herself.
Favoritism!
Mom always remembers what Ji Xuan doesn't like to eat.
And even you're planning for her in your retirement.
You guys don't have favorites? Huh?
Every time you see Mom, it's "Mama, Mama, where's my thing?" or "Mama, Mama, what are we going to eat?"
But when you see me? It's just, "Dad, where's Mom?
Mom! I'm so hungry. What's for dinner?
Ji Xuan, you're back.
No wonder.
No wonder what?
You made Mom mad again.
Ji Ru...
Ai yo, Mom, don't be mad anymore. Buying a home is a good thing, isn't it?
Right.
It's a good thing. We just weren't told anything about this good thing.
Because once you've grown up and you have wings,
and you've used up your parents, you can just kick them to the curb for the rest of their lives.
Ai yo, Mom, don't worry.
I'll use you for the rest of my life.
- Ai ya, get away. - I don't want to! I want to stick to you!
If you stick to me like this, how am I going to boil dumplings for you?
I think, she must have be afraid Ji Xuan would ask her for a loan,
so that's why she bought it in secret.
To tell you the truth, we should be proud.
Who among our neighbors
has the kind of child who's self-reliant enough to buy a home?
You're tired. Go to bed. You sleep better when you sleep early.
That way tomorrow you'll have the energy to brag to all the neighbors
about how amazing our Ji Ru is!
She's self-reliant enough to buy her own home!
Do I talk that much?
No.
But it is a good thing.
Because we don't have to worry about Ji Ru as much.
When you retire next year,
we'll just bring Ji Xuan with us when we move to Taipei. That way, they'll be someone to cook for Ji Wei.
Yes.
I've been thinking,
can I wait another two years before retiring?
You didn't give notice you were going to retire?
It's now dad's turn.
How long do you think you can keep up with your old bones?
Yeah.
Don't worry. I already...
Second older sister's already finished.
You tell the senior manager --
They'll give me easier work to do!
It's more important to help Ji Xuan open a dumpling place!
What I'm saying is, why would she open a dumpling store?
I'm saying Ji Xuan should open a clothing store! And then she can sell dumplings inside the store!
Mom!
Where are the shoes I brought back from Taipei?
The shoes are obviously in the shoe cupboard. Is it possible I put them on the table? Sheesh.
But they're not here.
Then how would I know? You're always leaving your stuff around.
Mom!
Did Dai Yao Qi come to our house?
Didn't you tell him yesterday to come to our house for dumplings?
When did he come over?
When you went to give your Dad his bento.
How come you didn't tell me?
Do you have a problem? Do I need to report to you?
Take this Lu Wei back to Taipei to eat.
And remember to eat this fruit at the train station.
I'm going inside to see what things are..
Dad, then, I'll get going.
Ah, wait a second!
There's TWD$10,000 in here.
Ai ya, take it!
As your mom says, give her $15,000 every month.
If it's not enough, I'll think of another way.
But, don't you give all your money to Mom?
I'm not as dumb as you.
You need to earn more money so you can live well.
Rent a place that's a little nicer. And take good care of yourself.
You're living alone in Taipei. You need to eat well.
I know.
Ok, I'll head back now, then.
You also need to hurry up and go. The train will be here soon.
Drive carefully.
Ok, ok.
Ok, then I'll go.
Actually, remaining always in that place,
are the type of people I always thought were fitting and proper.
The train bound for Taichung is arriving.
"Zhou Bei Ai, revenge belongs to the clever."
Repulsive Dai Yao Qi.
I'll let you see that I'm more clever.
What is this?
It says "Sound Radiation Mouse Removal Machine" on top.
- Ok, I'll take it. - Ah, it's cash on delivery.
Please give me TWD$6,150.
Zhou Ji Wei.
Ai yo?
Today's green peppers are as beautiful as our Shu Mei.
Fool.
-Additional two kilograms for green peppers. -The rest will be the same, right?
Ok, I'll come back to look for you again tomorrow.
Boss, the usual.
Ok! We'll send it over at 3.
Thanks.
I don't accept cash on delivery.
The other party already paid.
Who's the other party?
It says it's from "an admirer."
Crappy trick.
Actually, I know I shouldn't accept it.
But if I don't accept it, I'll never know what the hell he sent, right?
So Miss, are you going to accept it or not? I have a lot of packages I need to send.
Don't you have packages to send?
Sorry. Do you want me to help you return it?
There's no need. Thank you.
Then, bye bye!
There's no need to thank me. Because I thought it would suit you so well, I had to buy it for you.
Damn it.
I just thought since it's her birthday.
Giving her 3,000 or 4,000 NT in an envelope would be ok right? How did I know that Valentine's Day would be next.
Another envelope, and then what?
She wants another one for her lunar year birthday?
Need some more?
Then what's up now? You can only have love if you give an envelope?
Mother Shuan has a pretty out of view perspective.
Helping you buy that kind of place.
It should be enough to put your girlfriend's envelope.
I'm just worried that when my mom see's this month's credit card statement, she's going to put on a show.
Serves you right.
Didn't I already tell you?
Using a meat bun to get rid of a dog and giving an envelop to a girl leads to the same results.
How can you rely on your wallet to pick up girls?
What you should rely on is a man's charm.
For real. Try being like Xiao Suh.
Eats the girl's, wear's the girl's, and sleep's the girl's.
F**k you.
And every man loves her to death.
Why would you date that kind of girl?
Hurry up and break up.
But I've already given 3 envelopes.
It is so not worth it to break up with her.
Here, the chicken wings you ordered.
The store's closing. Here's the bill.
Oh it's 2 o'clock. Brother, the 7 taste powder is gone over here.
Bro, do you have anymore onigiri?
The stoves are all off. Onigiri...
I don't like chicken wings.
Which young master will foot today's bill?
How much?
After a friendship discount, it will be 2750 in total.
Two thousand is enough. The rest is on me.
I forgot to bring my wallet.
You don't accept cards?
Hey, ok, ok. First deduct it from my housing rental fees.
Let's get going.
Let's leave
Let's leave.
Brother, I'm leaving
Just deduct it from my rental fees.
The housing rental fee is kept by his mom. Since when was it short a penny.
We are friends, anyway.
It's just being together with their friends. Why be so tense?
You call thrice a week occasionally?
Deduct it form my pay, okay?
Yes, I did.
This is your pay for this month.
That's all?
The rest went to your friends.
Damn it. Ask them to foot the bill the next time.
Then do you want to close down the kebab store and come to our company to work?
Why?
Firstly, stop letting those friends of yours eat your food for free.
Secondly,
you come home so late every night. We don't even have time to interact.
Aren't we talking right now?
the 3 minutes of brushing my teeth and washing my face?
When I wake up, you are sleeping.
When you end work, I'm already sleeping.
What is the purpose of us being together then?
Do you know how bad my situation was yesterday?
What happened?
Thunder and rain in the afternoon,
The tall and rich guy main actor got cinderella to go shopping to release her anger.
I have to find the venues and prepare the props.
Forget it.
I'm going.
What?
Do you love me?
Silly. Why do you even ask?
Can you find a decent job for me?
Can you not force me to do the things that I don't wish to do?
Then can you not force me to live a life that I don't wish to live in?
Bye.
Mom, I'm going out.
Wait!
Take your breakfast along.
But grandma, the entire crew has breakfast.
Yours is on the table.
I am very hungry today. Two portions is just nice for me.
That dishwasher auntie from the popular noodle store
in the wet market
is quitting.
Don't tell me you are going to wash the dishes?
Just a few dishes.I get paid a thousand eight a month.
Old granny, how old are you?
Do you really think you can squat down and wash those dishes for the entire day?
There is a stool. I won't be tired.
He did not send the monthly allowance, right?
I think he forgot about it.
I will look after you if he doesn't.
Just stay at home and enjoy yourself.
Keep the money for yourself.
You are my woman so listen to me.
You are so rude.
-You are not eating? -I'm sleepy.
I will be going to the park to excercise later.
Don't try to flirt with the old grandpas in the park, okay?
You're spouting nonsense!
I'm a really hard worker.
And plus my test scores are very good too. It's only because I said the truth.
and then I didn't have any background, so they fired me.
Oh...
Why is the world so unreasonable?
The world is unfair. Let me tell you,
I got into a car accident when I was on the way to meet a client.
In the end, I broke my spine and had to be hospitalised for six months.
After that, my boss called my colleague to
persuade me to quit.
That's too much, right?
That's so bad.
Previously, I worked at my best friend's husband's company.
And my best friend want him husband to call me "old lady owner."
When we went to a class reunion, she wanted me to hold her bag.
I was so mad that I resigned on the spot.
I told myself that in future I want her to carry my bag for me!
That's the spirit.
We have to have such spirit.
Thank you all for sharing with us.
In fact, I also prepared a surprise.
This, is our total profit, 2 weeks since our grand opening.
First week.
Second week.
A beautiful sum of money, yeah?
Behind this sum of money,
is not only income,
but the hard work of all of you.
I am so proud of everyone.
I am proud of you all.
Make sure you always remember our company's mission.
Your love for A&Z is
equivalent to how much A&Z loves you.
So, A&Z has decided to
use 80% of our merchandize profit
to give back to you guys!
This is your deserved reward.
I...
I am so touched. I don't know what to say.
That's right.
We should be touched of ourselves.
Because only we know how much we worked hard for this.
Although, after we deduct the clothing fee
You can only get this sum of money.
But with the growth of our business operations,
til the month's end, besides your basic salary,
you will be able to get a commission of
more than this amount.
Tenth, Hundredth, Thousandth...
15 thousand?
Don't be afraid.
Don't doubt yourself.
Don't forget about the most important thing because of those people who belittle you.
That is...your hard work deserves
this.
And even better than this.
What is this?
This is Professor Molière,
my adoptive father's special gift.
You can buy the company's product with a staff discount of 5%.
Whether you want to bring them back for your family or sell them to your customers.
This extra income belongs to all of you.
When Ru Yi heard the news,
she orderd 100 boxes of biscuits on the spot.
Wow, she is so rich?
You are equally rich.
What?
Don't forget.
You will be getting 15 thousand immediately.
Believe me.
In the future, you will be getting even more unexpected wealth.
But...
Although this gift event ends this week,
But, don't be stressed. Just remember,
how much you love A&Z
is equivalent to how much A&Z loves you.
43566.
Can you give me some time to consider?
No problem.
But time is limited.
You've gone overboard.
That is because I love you.
Hello? I'm filming.
I am opposite you.
Then why are you here?
To talk to you.
What can we say with five minutes?
Isn't life built up with a bunch of 3 and 5 minutes?
Then put them together.
At least talk to me for three hours.
Alright.
Why are you wasting five minutes on such a useless topic?
Afternoon tea break.
In order to appease me, go on a holiday with me.
Where do you want to go?
I want to go to a place...
where I can go for some suntanning and relax myself.
Hello?
What happened?
I'm sorry, we are doing fine. We are not letting out our business.
I think you got it wrong.
Okay.
Damn it, Zhou Ji Wei.
What about her?
She...
It's nothing.
Go get busy. I have something to settle.
Five minutes is not up yet.
What is your relationship with Zhou Ji Wei?
We grew up together since we were young. We are siblings with no blood relation.
There is no friendship between a man and a woman.
Really?
But there is family.
Five-day tour to Kyoto!
OK, after you've finished filming.
Go then. I have to go get busy.
Bye.
Out for rent.
Yao Qi.
I was afraid I came too early.
What are you doing here?
Only useless, old people take their grandson's money.
So from today onwards, I will be here helping out.
Granny...
Let me review your order, it's 2 chicken wings,
one chicken heart, and then a big intestine wrapped a small intestine.
Granny, excuse me.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Excuse me, granny.
-What? -Excuse me.
Table 1
Don't wash the dishes first.
Wash them later.
Then what should I do now?
Can you send that to table number one?
Okay.
Where is table number one?
-Over there. -Give it to me.
Table number three.
Then...
Wipe the table.
I already wiped the table.
It is actually a business that does not earn any profit.
The profit will be our extra commission.
15 thousand minus 3400.
44.
I can buy 44 boxes in total.
Most importantly, my company's product is so good.
Then based on customers, it's also helping the profit of our company.
Everyone will be having a healthier lifestyle.
What?
So do you want to buy?
-No. -Of course, we should earn a profit out of it.
Why does your company seems so strange?
Okay, never mind.
That's it for now, byebye.
It is two against two.
What should I do?
-You are back. -Hi, Guangguang.
I'm Li Zhen.
Oh, sorry.
Li Zhen. Li Zhen. Li Zhen.
Let me help you.
Table number 4, grilled rice balls.
Hi, Guangguang.
My name's Ah Guang.
What are you doing? Did you come to discuss a pause compromise?
I have no time to play with you.
I'm here to ask...
You are here at the right time. Bring her back.
Who?
Granny!
Hey, Ji Wei.
Granny Dai, are you okay?
Yes.
-Granny, are you okay?! -I'm fine.
What happened?
My legs can't find the strength to walk.
I'm fine.
Let me rest for a while.
Let me carry you.
Silly girl, how can you carry me?
Let me rest for a bit.
Are you feeling better?
I'm old.
I thought I could help Yao Qi.
In the end, I brought him trouble.
Rubbish. It was not any trouble at all.
You are Dai Yao Qi's greatest asset.
You're comforting me.
No, I'm serious. Dai Yao Qi said that himself.
Granny, my mom said if your leg hurts, you have to press on this acupressure point.
Remember to massage this area every day.
I will bring a box of healthy biscuits from my company another day.
No, don't spend unnecessary money.
I know.
I heard that a patient
got into a car accident and he could not walk.
After eating the biscuits for a year, he can not only stand but he can also run now.
Those biscuits are so expensive. How am I going to afford them?
Besides,
his dad has not send money over for a couple of months.
I was worried something could have happen so I made a call back.
in the end,
he said he is investing in some Pu'er tea business and does not have enough money.
He asked whether if I have money. He also asked Yao Qi whether if he has got any money to spare.
Don't tell Yao Qi about this matter.
Looking at how busy Yao Qi is,
just to earn those money, his life cycle became abnormal.
Tell me, how can I ask money from him?
I am so mad at myself.
Those money earned is not even enough.
Granny, don't worry.
God closed a pathway for us and
He will open another one for us.
At time like this,
Granny!
What?
I thought of a way.
Your body is aching all over, right?
I forbid you to go to the shop from now.
Don't worry, I will not go and create trouble anymore.
Granny, you are not any trouble
but my only.
Let me see.
What a big blister.
It's okay. I got scalded by accident.
I'm sorry, my child.
I did not give birth to a good father.
You have had to depend on yourself since you were young.
Isn't that a good thing? I don't owe him anything, and he doesn't owe me anything.
So I just have to focus on serving you big debtor this entire life.
Sign it with guts.
I have never spent 15 thousand in one shot. I am so nervous.
Believe me. You will get used to such nervousness.
My hands are shivering.
Earthquake?
There's an earthquake?!
Granny!
Yao Qi, I'm here.
My head's spinning.
This earthquake's magnitude is rather huge.
I heard it was an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.1. Is everything fine at home?
What about my dad?
What about big sister?
What about sister?
It's good that all of you are fine. Okay, good bye.
How was it? You must be so scared to tears.
How old am I already? I'm not that weak.
Remember, when an earthquake comes,
go to an empty area.
Second, find a shelter.
Even if the sky falls, I have something to cover over my head.
I memorized them all.
Memorizing them is not enough.
You have to use them wisely.
Okay.
Okay, that's it.
Hey.
What?
You are the only one
who called me to show me concern.
Let me tell you, don't be touch.
I was just checking if my phone has got any signal.
Good bye!
What?
Is Granny in?
Yes, why?
Tell her that I will be bringing some stuff over for her later on.
What thing?
It is none of your business.
We'll talk more later when we meet up.
Okay.
Hi, Boss!
Zhou Ji Wei.
Hi, Boss.
Yes, why are you carrying two boxes?
Oh nothing, it's for my granny.
-Let me help you. It's okay.
Thank you.
That's right.
Thanks, Boss.
Don't be so polite.
My ride is here. I'll go first.
Okay.
Bye.
It's Boss's.
What are you doing?
Don't bother.
What are the two of you doing?
Zhou Ji Wei's company
this one...
Ji Wei said she can get an employee's discount.
If we resell it we can earn 3000.
How many boxes did she get?
I'm not sure.
Using the bonus to purchase the boxes of biscuits means that she saved money on the capital investment.
$15000
I told you there is a problem with this company!
What a fool!
Why do you keep scolding her? How is she stupid?
She wanted to help me.
And her company treats her well.
I am incompetent.
Let's not even talk about talent.
As long as the coffee I make is good.
As long as I prepared all the documents well,
making sure they are all clear and straightforward.
I would be completely satisfied.
But now, unexpectedly, this boss at the company
tells me that I should feel inspired by myself,
because the company's achievements
are from my contributions and hard work.
Granny, do you know
at that moment, I told myself that
I will be their slave for my whole life.
Hello, I'm Ji Wei!
I am so stupid. I only thought of calling you now.
Oh. Basically,
because Boss left his phone on my taxi
so I chased after him immediately
But I lost him.
I saw your car!
I am walking now.
What? What did you say?
It's okay. I will bring it in.
I'll come out to get it.
That...
Yes.
Indeed, we lied to the consumers in Taiwan.
All these healthy biscuits are not imported from New Zealand.
But this is all for saving energy and reducing carbon footprints
that's why we decided to manufacture locally.
Then are those healthy products?
Of course! Producing locally in Taiwan makes the process more environmentally friendly
and creates job opportunities.
Most importantly,
the company will be able to repay you with more profits!
Then...
I got it.
Okay.
This is your handphone.
Look.
Thank you.
Thank you for making a trip over.
Not at all. I'm going off then.
The biscuits are not properly packaged!
They are all spilled out.
What is going on?
Come on!
He...
It's okay. If you have any questions,
you can just ask.
He's...
Is there an earthquake?
Ji Wei, don't be nervous.
Everything will be fine.
Start from thinking of those people who treated you unfairly.
Think about your on-coming rewards.
Just that and nothing else.
Okay.
I'll think about it.
Yes, think.
What should we do?
It's okay.
Don't forget, she is tied down with a sum of 15 thousand.
If she does not even consider her own benefits
and does anything foolish,
then she will be a complete dummy.
What smart people should not do.
- I'm from... - I know.
Thank you.
Why aren't you going to buy this book?
Do you work here?
No, it's not that.
I am just curious.
With some books, we can just skim read to grasp the main point.
What is the main point then?
I don't know what happened to my father.
He suddenly told me that he will be sending me to the USA to study overbroad.
USA is not bad.
Hey, USA likes having wars.
What if they send me to fight in the war?
Why didn't anyone tell me?
Why not go to the UK and look for Hermione Granger?
Taiwan girls look prettier than Hermoine.
Cheers,
Right?
Pour us more beer.
Okay.
Here, pay up first.
Bro...
I'm in a big fight with my dad.
I don't have enough.
You should install a card machine.
No problem. Here,
order two boxes each.
Healthy biscuits?
-I do not have enough cash. -You can swipe your card.
Hello?
Isn't it late?
Why are you still not asleep?
Insomnia.
What's going on?
That's right.
Why did I buy those useless biscuits?
Since you bought them then sell them.
I sold six boxes for you. Deliver the goods over tomorrow.
That's good.
Just sleep in peace.
Okay.
Jiu Bi Ai is the third Child. She has long legs, but she can't run fast.
She got a big head, but she's not bright. How sad!
This morning, police busted an illegal factory
and they went to the A&Z office
to conduct a search
How did this happen?
Everything was going fine!
Do you know that
I told myself that I will definitely succeed this time.
Then who called the police?!
I don't know!
I'm sorry...
I really love A&Z
because A&Z loves me.
I pondered for a long time.
But I couldn't hold back my conscience.
Who cares about conscience if you love money?
You are a fool!
I'm sorry.
Why are you not answering your calls? Are you trying to piss me off?
Answer my call!
Hello?
Ji Wei, I'm sorry. I put you into trouble.
Please return my call, okay?
I am really worried for you.
I know you are feeling annoyed right now.
But they insisted on me calling you.
Call them back, okay?
Otherwise, I will get annoyed by them.
Hello, Ji Wei?
Can you hear me?
Are you deaf?
Hello, Ji Wei?
Can you hear me? Hello?
Zhou Ji Wei, I heard the news,
but make sure not to let daddy, mommy and Zhou Ji Xuan know about it.
What are you going to do now?
Didn't I tell you before?
First, run to an open space. second, find a good shelter
so when the sky falls, you have a shelter over your head.
Thirdly, when you have nothing to your name, you still have me.
Are you angry?
so you hate yourself for being so gullible.
You hate yourself for being so naive and stupid.
That is why I hate myself so much.
The time that I hate myself most
was the day my mother passed away.
I thought that if I hadn't left, my mother wouldn't have left.
Why did I naively think that if I refuse to leave,
my dad will pull himself together.
Why do you hate yourself? It is not your fault.
Really?
The current situation that is happening now, is not your fault either.
It means that neither of us should hate ourselves.
No.
Why?
Because...
I called the police.
I brought trouble to myself
and also brought trouble to my colleagues.
It was me.
Whether you are a fool or not,
the fact is there was a problem.
Zhou Ji Wei is a fool.
She got tricked.
But the police were able to capture the baddies
because of Zhou Ji Wei's sense of justice.
Look carefully,
Let's start...
Noun
Noun.
Adjectives.
ummmmm
We ran out of adjectives
so let's...
use nouns.
verb.
ummmm verb.
Look! What does it say now?
Um...
Smart...
Wei...
But that's not the right character.
Oh right.
How about like this?
Zhou Ji Wei is a fool.
She got fooled by a smart baddie.
It's you again.
What about me?
You saved me from an earthquake.
So my happiness
is still here.
The third type of sorrow.
When you grow up, the people who will help you are not many.
I thought you are very smart?!
Who doesn't want to earn a bit more?
Why do you want to earn so much?!
So that you can retire earlier!
Whatever for?! What am I going to do after I retire?!
Are you getting married to Fang Shao Min?
What's it have to do with you?
Let's play "True Or Dare".
Okay.
We are eating so much food today...
because you guys already made a promise before?
It was just that the timing was good today.
Why are you sacrificing me for a woman who has no blood relationship with you?
Just treat her as my sister. Is that so difficult?
Sisters are the scariest thing on Earth.
I am always waiting for that day to come - the day that I will no longer like him.
But that day has yet to come!
Some things that are meant to be thrown away have to be thrown away.
If you come to Taipei again, give me your number and let's meet up.
It's not that I don't like you...
Don't worry, okay?
I already have a girlfriend.
♫ For some, it's better to have loved and lost ♫
♫ It would have been better not to take those words seriously back then ♫
♫ Don't worry, don't be troubled If you are lonely, just pray with me ♫
♫ I know... ♫
♫ I can't refrain from our second of happiness ♫
♫ I heard you've found your new destiny ♫
♫ You are happy and I really am proud ♫
♫ I am willing to let go of your hand again ♫
♫ I cannot hear... ♫
