Miss Szeto, aren't you moving out?
I'm not a cheap lady.
Even if I were, I still paid the rent. I have the right to stay here.
What are you talking about?
There are so many things outside your home. Aren't you moving out?
Really?
What's going on? Ka-ming, why are you taking all my things?
When you moved in last year,
you bought new furniture, electrical appliances and a sofa.
I chipped in too.
Now you want to break up with me. I want to get my half back.
You're so cheap.
You're cheaper, charming cheap lady.
You hate living a monotonous life. The gap is too great.
There's no point sucking it up. All those were excuses.
The fact is you thought you had found a rich guy.
So you broke up with me.
We broke up because of the problems between us.
It had nothing to do with any third party.
There's a clip to prove it. You're still denying it?
A man with no money is cheap. You deserve better, right?
You said all that yourself.
But how would a rich guy
fall for such a shallow woman who craves vanity like you?
Now you've lost everything. You're a laughing-stock.
Do you regret breaking up with me?
Yes. I regret it so much.
I regret it because I wonder why I ever fell for you.
Do you know you're physically a man but psychologically you're castrated?
I don't want to see you ever again.
Song Sheung-hang.
Congratulations, Brother Sean.
Once your Charming Cheap Lady was posted,
readers kept asking me when your Sacrificing Love would come out.
Really, editor?
But last week you still insisted that I wouldn't make any money
publishing the book in my own name Song Sheung-hang.
You told me to use the Marjorina name again.
What made you change your mind so quickly? Are you sure you didn't get whiplash?
You're really talented.
Hey, I asked some designers to design the cover of your book.
See which one you like.
Use my face for the cover.
I want everyone including those who don't read or who are illiterate
to know Song Sheung-hang.
The boss has thought about it.
His initial inclination is to organize a concert for you.
Initial inclination? Cut the weasel words.
You know I never make any concessions on my fees.
I'm offering to cut it by fifty percent now. That shows a lot of sincerity on my part.
Of course I understand.
Actually the boss wanted to work with you a long time ago.
Last time he wanted to organize a 30th anniversary concert for you.
But your requests were too demanding back then.
So the partnership fell through.
What's his hesitation now?
The biggest problem is the schedule.
The Hong Kong Coliseum is fully booked until the end of next year.
But K-son is getting a divorce from his wife
His image is seriously tainted.
The company is considering canceling his concert.
If it really gets canceled,
I will do my very best to get his time slot for you.
I'm counting on you then.
Don't worry. I will fight for the highest budget
to ensure that the concert is unforgettable for everyone.
I can't believe this. Tik-tik says she's got the flu.
She can't come in. She wants to take sick leave.
She was fine in Taiwan. She got sick as soon as she got back to Hong Kong.
You can't blame her for this.
She's faking illness because she doesn't have a choice.
She's already so pathetic. Sis Fong, promise you won't fire her.
Why?
It's really hard to find an assistant who can stay over a month.
Hello, welcome to Janice's Parlor. Today we have a very special guest.
Hello, I'm Wah Fong-ying.
Sis Fong looks gorgeous. When will you meet your fans?
I'll reveal a little. I'm preparing for my concert right now.
What made you return to the stage?
I've performed for 40 years.
These 40 years have been a very important phase in my life.
I hope each person in the audience will be someone my most cherished and beloved.
I will do my best to sing every song well for them.
Let's listen to a song now. Then we'll chat with Sis Fong again.
Flowers will wither and songs will end. Do you remember your promise back then?
A certain star will fall. Will you feel lost?
Good. You were at level 18 when I left.
After I got back from Taiwan,
you've already reached level 228.
It's a great leap forward.
I bought weapons.
This is a reprimand, not a compliment. You just play. Did you work?
Did you come here to tidy up the place while I was in Taiwan?
Sure I did.
You did? What's this?
Right. What's that?
It's dust, Master George.
I was about to tell you that I came every day.
But I didn't clean the place.
Because I'm old. My vision is blurred. I can't see the dust.
That's an excuse.
How come you never compliment me?
You still want me to compliment you?
I was sharp and eloquent just now.
You're incorrigible.
If I had a choice,
I wouldn't be a servant now because I used to be rich.
Never mind. I won't ask you to work.
Give it to me. No. You provide my lodging and meals now.
Lui Tso-chi, cut it out.
You went to Taiwan to enjoy life and good food.
You left me behind. I had to watch the shop by myself.
Do you know how upset I was?
If I didn't play video games to vent, I'd be so depressed.
Gordon invited you too. You refused to go.
Do I have to go just because he invited me?
That happened years ago. I talked to him about it too.
We grew up together. Is it that easy to find good friends?
Good friends? If he were a good friend,
he wouldn't have let me go bankrupt without lending me a hand.
I've deleted this guy from my list of good friends a long time ago.
My dad was so nice to him. He paid his tuition and board
so he could go study in the States with me.
He's a traitor. He's ungrateful.
Don't talk about him like that.
Oh, you're taking his side.
If you're still going to take his side, we're no longer friends. I'll leave.
It's tea time. The egg tarts downstairs are fresh from the oven.
Right. Fresh from the oven. I'll go buy some now.
You're just good at playing. You're not competent at work.
Why would Gordon lend you money?
There's a rumor that
when you performed in Taiwan, you ran into a ghost fan.
Actually one of my fans had passed away.
Her husband gave me a gift on her behalf. But he did it secretly.
I did it secretly?
It caused me some trouble. But I've forgiven him already.
I even took a photo with him. We also hung out for a couple of days.
Now he's become my fan too.
I told you I'm not your fan!
He got to be so close to you. He's really lucky.
By the way, the internet is really influential these days.
A trivial matter hyped up by the netizens can become a headline.
You really mustn't believe everything online.
It seems like you have some firsthand experience.
Super materialistic. imbecile. You're so cheap.
No man would want to make out with you. You do that yourself.
You only use vulgar language to criticize people.
You're not well-nurtured at all.
Cheap lady. Shame on you. You make me sick. Go to hell.
Charming Cheap Lady. I've seen that video. I was really shocked.
It seems you really care about this.
I'm sorry, Ms. Wah. I'm a disgrace to you. I will tender my resignation.
What's more shocking is the reaction of the netizens.
It's so obvious that someone had the improper motive
of deceiving the girl's affection. He infringed her privacy.
Why didn't the netizens condemn the man for doing something so immoral?
Why condemn the girl for being a gold digger?
Actually I'm a victim of this indirectly.
The woman in the video is my new assistant.
Facts speak louder than words.
What kind of person is she? Is she as awful as she appears in the video?
I believe those who know her can make the proper judgment.
Those who don't know her must not repeat what other people say.
Lastly, I want to tell the troublemaker that you're the cheapest.
Thank you so much for coming to our interview today, Sis Fong.
Hey, I heard it. There'll be more noise now.
Think about it. Wah Fong-ying scolded me on the radio.
That's publicity for me. I should thank her for that.
I can't talk to you now. Let me finish the autobiography first.
Talk to you later.
Thank you.
It's on me.
You condemned Hong Kong's gold-digging women. You're the voice of men.
You've got guts. I support you.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
There are no elegant ladies.
There are only men who make women more elegant.
If a man wants to fool a woman...
You're watching my video too?
It seems that the age range of my fans is really wide.
You're that guy Song Sheung-hang?
Yes.
What photos do you need? Home Visit Permit?
Can we put your photo at the entrance?
The celebrity effect will attract more clients.
No problem.
Thank you.
Do you have a lot of spare time? You don't need to work?
I'm busy.
I need to eat the egg tarts. They won't be good if they get cold.
Your conduct is so shameful. You're a disgrace to men.
Taking photos of you will taint my camera.
It's a waste of my film. I don't want your business.
Oh, yes. I forgot that Robin Hood is against injustice.
But I didn't come here to get my photo taken
I came to get Mr Lai's photos for his autobiography.
Give them to me.
Sorry. I'm not giving you the photos.
Law Bun, you've finally been enlightened.
But you promised Mr Lai. How could you break your promise?
The old photos are our precious memories.
They record the friendship between the three of us.
They're really precious.
Why would I give them to someone who's so untrustworthy?
This person's integrity is bankrupt.
If Gordon insists on hiring him, I will...quit.
Fine. My goal isn't to write an autobiography for someone.
Someday someone will write my autobiography for me.
Shameless.
Ms. Wah, it's done.
Don't come over...Go away... I don't want to look at you.
Don't be scared...It's me, Ms. Wah. Look.
Tik-tik? You scared me to death.
No wonder you were screaming and trembling just now.
I'm sorry I scared you.
Didn't you say you wanted to stay at home because you were scared of seeing people?
Why did you come here?
I heard your interview.
I thought I had to come here in person to thank you.
You don't need to thank me.
You feigned illness and didn't come to work. I'm deducting your wages for today.
Ms. Wah, I think I should resign.
According to rule 47 of the assistant's code
I mustn't do anything to damage your image.
I'm the gold digger cheap lady now. I've offended everyone in Hong Kong.
I don't want to be a disgrace to you. I don't want to affect your concert.
Ms. Wah, why are you laughing?
You didn't offend everyone in Hong Kong. At most you've just offended half.
Let me show you around later.
I want you to understand that
there will always be people who are beyond your expectations.
Ms. Wah, Mrs. Hung and Mrs. Pang have already arrived. This way please.
Sis Fong...Over here...
Mrs. Hung, Mrs. Pang, I'm sorry. I fell asleep doing the massage just now.
Have a seat...
I'm a bit late.
It's OK.
We ordered your favorite high tea set. You came at just the right time.
Right. Have some cake, Sis Fong.
Thank you.
Sis Fong, when are you putting on a concert again?
Probably within this year.
Remember to reserve three front rows for me.
I need four rows for each evening. My husband needs to entertain his client.
Thank you for your support.
This is?
We were busy chatting. I forgot to introduce She's my new assistant Tik-tik.
Hello Mrs. Pang and Mrs. Hung.
Charming cheap lady...
No wonder you look so familiar.
You're much prettier than in the video.
I watched your video three times.
I even forwarded it to my daughter who studies in the States.
Excuse me. I need to go to the restroom.
Sit down.
Tik-tik, what you said was really marvelous.
Well said. We're so proud of you.
Don't you think I crave vanity?
You are who you marry.
If you marry a cheap guy, then you'll be a cheap woman.
I forwarded your video to my daughter to tell her not to go out with just any guy.
A discontented woman makes a good wife.
My husband always says I like to spend, but that motivates him to make more money.
Now he owns several listed companies.
As Tik-tik said, we deserve better.
We deserve better.
Excuse me. I need to go to the washroom.
I'll go with you. Excuse me.
Go ahead.
Actually I don't know why I said that back then.
That jerk may have misled me.
Or I was so upset that I didn't know what I was talking about.
You speak the truth when you spill your guts
Look at the two rich ladies just now. They don't have any worries in life.
It's all because they met a good husband when they were young.
Do you want to be like them?
Sure. Who wouldn't want to be like them?
That's the answer.
In my circles, there are lots of superior men.
You'll get a chance to meet them.
Do you still want to be my assistant?
Sure. I won't leave even if you ask me to.
Then you must set a clear target.
Even if people sneer at you, you must still stand tall and smile at them.
Sis Fong, where are you going? Let me give you a ride.
No, thanks. Tik-tik has already asked my driver to come pick me up.
You're smart. Us fans are relieved that you're taking care of Sis Fong.
Thank you. I'm just doing my job.
Tik-tik, that guy smeared you after he fooled you.
I know you must be so upset.
But now you're on Sis Fong's team. We will support you.
We will vindicate you.
That cheap guy didn't just insult you but all the women as well.
So our women's club will publish a full-page announcement
in the newspaper tomorrow to condemn his shameless conduct.
Seriously?
I've told my husband to act on this.
I want this Song Sheung-hang to disappear so no one will know who he is.
If we counterattack, it will draw more attention.
This just won't end.
Why is he here? What a coincidence!
This isn't a coincidence. They're waiting for me.
I guess they've done some research. They know I come here often.
But you've already reprimanded them in public.
He still has the guts to come see you?
They want to pick a fight. They want to use me to gain popularity.
Don't worry, Ms. Wah. I won't let those jerks harass you.
Stand tall. Smile at them. Go.
Stand tall. Smile at them.
Hi.
Why are you walking like that in flats. Are you hurt?
How come it's just you? Where's Sis Fong?
Ms. Wah doesn't want to be harassed.
Are you talking about me? I know Sis Fong criticized my work on air.
I don't think she really knows me. So I want to talk to her in person.
It's a shame I can't meet her today. But I'm so happy I can see you again.
I hope our story can continue.
We're done already.
Let's review it then. Let me ask you. Did you fall for me because of money?
What are you talking about?
You betrayed your feelings just so you can marry a rich man.
Don't you think that's really cheap?
Smack him...Smack him...
Hold your temper...

Some people sell their labor. Some sell their knowledge.
Some sell their dignity. Some sell other things.
Everything can be sold. Only affection can't be sold.
That's because affection is beyond your control.
Marjorina?
For the same woman wearing the same designer brand handbag,
a competent man would be proud of her.
But an incompetent man will say she craves vanity.
So you can't tell if a woman's a gold digger
by the handbag she's carrying.
You tell by looking at the man next to her.
So? You're not Marjorina. I want to know what Szeto Tik-tik thinks.
What do I think? I think you're so pathetic.
You're over 30. You still take hidden videos. That's so childish.
You have no future.
It's a waste of paper for you to publish a book.
A man's prime is when he's 30 years old.
Lots of geniuses became rich and famous when they were teens.
They're already dead by 30.
I can't believe Szeto Tik-tik
threw Marjorina's words back at you.
You got beat by yourself this time.
Don't post this video. Delete it.
I want to keep it for my personal collection
so I can watch it again and laugh at you.
Give it to me.
A gentleman doesn't resort to violence.
I don't need to be a gentleman with a cheap guy like you. Give it to me.
Help...Indecent assault. Hey, it's your phone. Answer it.
Hello. OK. I'm on my way. Yes.
The editor called. He said he needs to talk to me.
I think it's about the book cover. Come with me.
When are we taking photos for the book cover?
Have you booked a photographer for me?
Sit down... Look. The distributor called me just now.
There's going to be a reprint already?
They said they're not distributing your new book.
Why?
The wife of Boss Pang, the distributor, is Wah Fong-ying's fan.
You've offended Wah Fong-ying.
That means you've offended Boss Pang's wife.
That means you've offended Boss Pang.
But this book Sacrificing Love was painstakingly written by Sean.
He's done a lot or research. He's been writing every night.
It's a good book. You've read it. You should know that.
It's not that I don't buy him.
But the boss has given the order to ban Song Sheung-hang.
We rely on the distributor's sales network to get the books on the shelf.
If we offend the distributor, the publisher won't have any good luck.
Now what?
Actually there's a way out.
Buddy is one of us. You can feel free to talk.
They just want to ban Song Sheung-hang.
They didn't say they would ban Marjorina too.
No. That's it.
Marjorina sells the best. Besides, no one knows you're Marjorina.
Buddy, let's go. I'll say this once more.
I won't write in Marjorina's name again.
Hey...
Take it easy. We failed this time. We can do it again.
Lucky you got the down payment for writing the autobiography.
We can hang in there for some time.
I've spent the down payment already.
On what?
You're sitting in it.
Never mind. It's already spent.
Just finish the autobiography as soon as possible and get the balance.
Then there won't be a problem.
I quit already.
Why?
I don't want to work with that guy Law Bun.
Just do it. You won't be stuck with him forever.
What's the problem with your interpersonal relationships?
He doesn't want to work with you? He fired you?
Sean, you can't keep offending people. I mean...I'll shut up. Focus on driving.
Developing and printing the photos manually give them a special texture.
When you hold them in your hands, you feel the life in them.
It's completely different from looking at them on the computer.
So it's worth it for you to come here and get the photos.
You took my photo without my consent.
I didn't secretly take your photo.
I relied on the photographers sense to capture the most decisive moment.
Decisive moment?
That means the use of light, composition and emotion
are perfect at that very moment.
It comes by sheer luck.
I told Tik-tik to buy some cakes to thank you.
You didn't need to do that.
It's easy to thank me. Just stop calling me your fan.
You listened to my songs. You secretly took photos of me.
You gave me gifts. You even care so much about my personal life.
That shows the admiration of a fan for his idol.
Even a friend can do those things.
There's no pure friendship between a man and a woman.
Don't you have any male friends?
They're all my rejected admirers.
That's why if you're not my fan,
I really don't know how to describe you.
OK. Let's eat the cakes when Tik-tik's back.
Lady boss, which one's good?
They're all good.
Let me take a photo and send it to Ms. Wah.
I'll let her choose.
Excuse me. Is there a studio called Upstairs Photo nearby?
Turn right at the end of the street ahead.
He has the nerve to come here?
Thank you... He's old school. He must like cakes.
What took you so long? Where are the cakes?
Sean...Song Sheung-hang is outside.
He's come to make trouble again?
What's the matter?
Song Sheung-hang still wants to shoot Tik-tik.
He even wants to get me involved.
Yesterday they waited for us outside the restaurant.
I can't believe he has the guts to follow us here.
He's way too much. I must teach him a lesson.
Sorry. Wrong guy. ID photos? Home Visit Permit? Or HKSAR passport?
No, he's Sean's accomplice. He shot the video.
What?
Have mercy please. I've come in peace.
The cakes have been squashed. But they're still good. Be my guest.
Mr Law...Ms. Wah, Tik-tik, please go ahead. Be my guest.
Sean sometimes crosses the line for work.
He was wrong to offend you all. I sincerely apologize to you on his behalf.
I'm sorry. Please forgive him.
Rules of Wing Chun. Wrong ideas result in wrong conduct.
Either cut him loose or hit him relentlessly.
What does that mean?
That means he's full of malicious ideas. He hurts others for his own benefit.
If I see him, I will hit him hard.
Please listen to my explanation. Actually Sean isn't that bad by nature.
But he was once hurt badly by a woman. That's why he's so angry and spiteful.
Does heartbreak excuse him? I'm heartbroken too.
Did he sympathize with me? He played me.
Tik-tik, do you really love Marjorina?
Yes. She's my idol. So?
OK. I'll tell you guys a secret. Actually Marjorina is Song Sheung-hang, Sean
Who would believe you?
Who's Marjorina? A Hollywood star?
You only live in your own world. Carry on.
Back then Sean had a very close girlfriend. She was talented and pretty.
She was Sean's muse in his writing.
So Sean put all his feelings, his life and everything
into his girlfriend and created Marjorina.
Marjorina was very successful. Why didn't he carry on?
His girlfriend thought Sean didn't have a bright future.
She suddenly broke up with him. It was a severe blow to Sean.
So he swore that he would never again write in the name of Marjorina.
He wanted to build his career using his own name, Song Sheung-hang.
Marjorina is Song Sheung-hang. Song Sheung-hang is my enemy.
My enemy is my idol.
Tik-tik.
I'm so sorry. I need to calm down.
Actually Marjorina is Song Sheung-hang, Sean
I am Marjorina.
I know Marjorina is the most noble goddess to you.
Too bad I'm not her.
Actually I knew a long time ago that you're not Marjorina.
I posed as Marjorina and quoted her words. I even kissed him.
Hi.
The distributor has taken all the books written by Song Sheung-hang off the shelf.
Does he need to wipe me out like this?
Actually you haven't suffered any loss. Your books can't sell at all.
They can't sell?
When my new book is published, the old books will all sell out.
They can't sell?
Hey.
Happy birthday Sean.
Happy birthday Jorina. What wish did you make?
It's a secret.
I've saved up for a long time.
Do you want a Vivienne Westwood handbag or go to Paris for the fashion shows?
Or do you want to go bungee jumping? I can do anything you want with you.
Anyway my birthday wish this year is that I hope all your wishes will come true.
Doesn't matter who you are with. Doesn't matter where you are going.
Don't you know I'm still waiting here for you?
Jori...Jori...
And pray for you.
In the sunny days, sun will light your day. In the windy days, where will we go away?
Sean, do you remember I once told you that time is not fair.
A man is in his prime when he's 30 years old
But a woman is already over the hill when she's at that age.
My birthday wish this year is to meet a man who can make me better.
Too bad that's not you.
I kept my promise to wait for you until I turn 30. I can't wait any longer.
My youth can't wait either. Take care. Love you. Marjorina.
Just go your way and leave things all behind.
Spread your wings and fly away...
Jori, I work so hard to become a better man.
But turns out I'm just a cheap man.
You've made a difference to my life. And let me realize...
You don't want these books?
They're just waste paper. I don't want them.
I'll take them then. I can sell them for several tens of dollars.
Take the cart too.
Hey, Sean. I've given it some thought.
If that Law Bun will talk you up,
you can continue to write Gordon Lai's autobiography.
Why would he talk me up? Do I know him that well?
Besides, I don't want to write anymore.
Why? What will you do if you don't write?
Anything. There's no point creating rubbish.
What happened to your face?
Nothing.
Did you run into something?
No. It's none of your business.
You're crazy.
I didn't run into anything. I got this because of you.
What are you talking about?
I went to apologize to that guy Law Bun on your behalf.
He thought I was as mean as you. He hit me.
Why are you so nosy?
I'm nosy? I did it because I want to carry on struggling with you.
We agreed that you would use your writing talent
and I would focus on the internet.
We would work together and build our careers.
You told me to run a net channel. I mortgaged my flat to do that.
I cast my vote of confidence in you with all my money. Now you say I'm nosy?
I don't mind playing the bad guy for your sake.
I don't mind getting yelled at because of you.
I've lost all my money now. I still don't mind.
But now you're saying you want to give up? You even accuse me of being nosy?
Aren't you thirsty from talking so much? Have some water.
Good.
Again. Good.
Sorry. Lots of people came to get their photo taken because it's a holiday today.
I don't have time to entertain you.
It's OK. I can wait.
OK.
Sit straight. ..Right.
Give me a big smile.
Right. Smile. Right.
Right. Smile. Good.
This one is good.
Excuse me. May I use the bathroom please?
I'm sorry. It's out of order.
You need to go to the public lavatory nearby.
I really can't hold it.
I can carry you there. It's exercise for me.
Thank you, young man.
Get up. Easy. OK. I'll carry you there. OK. Be careful. I'll hold this for you.
There are so many people? Easy. Hold me. Yes. OK.
Thank you, young man.
These are old friends from the community center.
We take photos for them at a special price.
Miss Chan, I'm afraid our friends will have to wait a longtime.
They might need to use the bathroom later.
Why don't they go to the lavatory first? We have a volunteer worker today.
You guys are really so kind.
The photos will be ready in a week.
Thank you very much.
Goodbye...
Bye...
OK. Thank you, Miss Chan. Thank you...
You're tough.
You could be a steel bender if you don't write books.
That's better than working as a writer.
I don't write for money.
What? For interest? Why bother? A person should be happy.
George, we're out of the solution. Go buy some for me.
What? There are several bottles.
Do you want to drink them all?
Sorry...
I've read Marjorina. It's OK. You do have some talent.
What...did Buddy tell you?
I know about your love story too.
You made a fool of yourself because of a woman.
I don't know whether you're romantic or dumb.
Wrong ideas result in wrong conduct.
If you play tricks and use people in an unscrupulous manner,
it won't last long even if you succeed.
I know. I will apologize to Tik-tik.
Let me be upfront.
I retain the copyright for the photos.
I'm only letting you use them in the autobiography.
You can't use them anywhere else. Otherwise I'll sue you.
Thank you. I understand.
Wait here. I'll get them for you.
Back then Law Bun was really so wrong.
He didn't just hurt George, he also ruined our trust in him.
So he's a hypocrite too.
Who doesn't err? Don't do anything bad again.
Thank you. What about you? Have you ever erred?
When you point your finger at others,
four of your fingers are pointing back at yourself.
I'll lend you this thumb drive.
Excuse me. I came to get my photos.
Do you think they're beautiful?
OK. A1422.
Why are you dressed like this?
You think I'm going to secretly shoot you again so you dressed up?
I don't mind if you want to shoot.
You'll just shoot me at my most beautiful.
Don't worry. I won't harass you again. My book won't be published.
Why?
The distributor has banned me,
because I've offended women, in particular those who are powerful.
I didn't know Ms. Wah could be so relentless.
Anyway I still owe you my apology. Sorry-
You asked me out just to apologize to me?
Not just that.
The car won't be mine after tomorrow.
You're my last passenger. Last ride. Last fun.
Did it ever occur to you that meeting me was a blessing in disguise for you?
If you hadn't run into me,
you wouldn't have decided to ditch your cheap man.
Perhaps you'd still be taking a bus now. Shouldn't you thank me?
I can't thank you enough...not.
Can you hand me the glasses?
I may not write in Marjorina's name anymore.
But you're my loyal fan. This is a souvenir for you.
Thank you.
I told you'd thank me.
