Episode 7
I'm telling you. If my mom goes crazy, you'll be responsible for treating her.
Then I'll tell you too. If your mom gets better later,
and she insists I be her son-in-law, what do you say I do then?
Go die, you.
Go over there. Come on.
Alright, alright.
Li Hao, look at your Auntie. She's always like this. There's nothing we can do.
Li Hao, it's okay. You just go about your business.
You guys take care of your own matters. I won't worry about it anymore.
Uncle,
actually, you should also say some nice things to Auntie.
After all, she took care of you for a large majority of your life. She deserves at least some credit.
Come on.
What do I say?
Wait for him to say nice things? The sun would have to rise from the west.
I was wrong.
It's my fault.
I'll apologize to you.
I'll definitely change from today on.
Why are you looking at me? Look to see if the sun is rising from the west.
You're so annoying!
Look at your mom.
Do you think we should adjust the class schedule today?
Li Li, can you hand next week's class schedule to Boss for me?
Sure. Leave it there.
If there are any problems, give it back to me and I'll fix it.
Isn't she over there? You can just give it to her directly.
Forget it. I should still ask you to do it.
Lü Cheng, you weren't like this before.
I can only do so much now.
Look, what do you think about this class? Can we continue doing what we've done next time?
Adjust the plans for these two classes.
But I think if we adjust it, we can only execute it next month.
Don't worry anymore. Your mom and dad are fine now.
Thank you. I had a bad attitude just now.
I always get scolded by you. I've long gotten used to it.
So fake.
I noticed. You're your mom's true problem.
If you still don't get married, she'll still fight with your dad.
You should hurry up and find a boyfriend like me and let your mom see him. Then, your mom will be fine.
What if she's not pleased?
Great Ms. Liang, if she doesn't see him, no one will know what will happen.
That's true too.
Then in a while, I'll give him a call.
About this, we have to thank GM Xu's consession first.
- Here. Cheers.- Here's to a happy collaboration.
- Alright.- Here.
Since GM Ai is so sincere, let's not all be so polite. We can all profit from it.
Of course we also have to thank Ms. Ai for making this possible from the inside.
You're welcome.
If it weren't for the appraisal report Yi Ping made for me, I wouldn't know we could transfer stocks like that.
I was already singing Amitabha Buddha when you agreed to lower the price. (the common prayer chanted in Buddhism)
This is all thanks to your little sister for planning well and to Fu Yi Ping for organizing well.
Are you kidding? This college classmate of mine came from Wall Street.
You lowered your asking price, the long-term profits increased. How can we refuse such a great offer?
That's right. Who picks a fight with money?
That is so true.
If there's nothing else, I'll leave first.
I'll see you out.
- Good bye.- Take care.
In the next couple of days, I'll have the lawyer create the contract. I'll show it to you soon.
I'm sorry, I have some things to do.
- Good bye.- Xiao Fang,
I also have some things. Then I'll leave too.
Good bye.
Okay.
Then I'll see you in a bit.
Ge, thank you.
Mei Mei, why are you being so polite?(Mei = little sister)
Right. You really like him?
Fine. It's fine as long as you like him,
all because you're my little sister. I'll grant your wish.
Ge, you still dote on me the most.
But, I have another request.
What request? Tell me.
I want to go to Willing Magazine.
Willing Magazine? To do what?
They still need a Director's Assistant. And I think your little sister, I,
am very suitable for that position.
What do you think?
Xiao Fang, now you want to play with the arts?
I'm going there to learn. That way, I can help you when I come back.
That does make some sense. Fine. Do whatever you like.
I got it, Ge.
Alright. I've already settled it with Yi Ping.
Dad, Mom. When to you have time?
What did I say? Our daughter is still quite obedient, right?
Time? We'll go with your mom's availability.
Now you know to listen to me?
What were you doing before?
Mom, why are you at it again?
I know. You and dad were mad because of me, worrying about my matters.
Now, I've already agreed with Yi Ping. In the future, you guys don't be mad and worry anymore.
Yi Ping, Yi Ping. You call him so endearingly now?
If I really didn't need to worry, I'll be more peaceful.
If you want to meet, you guys meet. What's there for me to meet?
You...
Your mom's fine. It's okay now. She's not upset anymore.
Dad, I'm telling you. In the future, you can't fight with my mom.
Alright. I won't fight anymore.
Let me tell you. I fight because she forced me to.
If we really were to argue, I wouldn't be her opponent.
So when exactly do we meet Yi Ping?
Let's plan it on a weekend then. It'll be easier to plan with your times too.
Sure. No problem.
Liang Shuang,
your mom has time on the weekends. Schedule it on the weekends, okay?
You tell Fu Yi Ping, no matter how busy he is, he has to make time to come over.
Your mom agreed.
She...
- She's just that temper.- Go buy whatever groceries you want to eat.
I'm too lazy to go.
I'll go, I'll go.
Mom, I know you dote on me the most, right?
Alright. Things are settled now.
I'll go rest my old back too.
Old wife.
What did I say? It'll be no problem when our daughter handles the situation.
You're just worrying for nothing.
- What did you say?- Worrying for nothing!
You old thing!
- Mom!- Don't go into my bedroom!
Why are you getting upset again?
I'm saving you face and you're all haughty. Come out now!
Come out![Fu Yi Ping]
Hello?
Yi Ping?
It's all settled. This weekend, come over to my house to eat.
I know.
I'm telling you. If my parents don't like you, there's nothing I can do.
Fine then.
Be careful of your health, understand?
Bye bye.
Mom, can you stop worrying now?
Old thing! Come out!
I'm a man. I won't come out if I say I won't come out.
Fine. I'll see how long you can stay there.
I'll see if you come out to eat.
I'm trying to lose weight. I won't eat.
That old thing.
Subtitles by The Golden Age Team
Wait a minute!
Thank you.
It's you?
Thanks.
What a coincidence. Who is Ms. Ai looking for at Willing?
I'm not looking for anyone. We'll see each other very often in the future,
Ms. Liang.
Come in.
Chief Supervisor.
Brace yourself first. I have news to tell you.
That mysterious? Say it.
You're not steady enough. Sit down first.
What's so complicated? Tell me.
It's like this. There's a new Director's Assistant.
What's so intriguing about that? Hasn't that position always been empty?
The crucial point is, they say she's Beauty Facial's Boss Ai Da Cheng's little sister,
Ai Xiao Fang.
Ai Xiao Fang?
It's her?
Everyone, the meeting is starting now.
In today's meeting, there are two topics. First,
it's to welcome our magazine's new Director's Assistant,
Ai Xiao Fang, Ms. Ai.
Ms. Ai came back to the country not long ago.
From now on, she will be working with us.
I hope her arrival can bring new energy to our magazine publishing company.
The second topic is that our magazine company
is changing our layout next year. From the eighty layouts we have now,
it'll be increased to 120 layouts.
This also means that our salaries will also have to be adjusted.
Liang Shuang, your burden as Chief Supervisor of Design will be even heavier next year.
From our content to our advertisements,
we have to achieve the same top standards of our equals in the field.
Is that a problem?
No problem. We've already accumulated many textual and image files.
We also have clients for our soft ads. It won't be a problem.
Right?
Alright. That's great.
Okay, if there's nothing else, the meeting will end now.
Director Jin, I have something I'd like to say.
Do you think we've forced our children too closely
so that's why they did that?
They really can't let us worry any less.
I can only blame myself.
I say, children now tend to marry later.
- But our children's qualifications aren't bad either.- That's right.
Even though they don't make friends, they're not the type that can't find any either.
But what about now?
- If we knew better, I should have had a son.- Would a son be easier? Maybe we'd have to worry more.
Liang Shuang said that she has a boyfriend right now.
- Really?- No.
If she doesn't have one, I worry. If she has one...
- You worry more, afraid she found one you don't like.- Isn't it?
Poor parents across the world.
Liang Shuang said she'd bring him home on the weekend for us to see.
That's good. It's a motivation for our Le Le too.
What if he's not good?
When her dad and I take a walk and see couples pushing baby strollers, we are so envious.
That's true. I was thinking
that while I'm still healthy, when Le Le gets married and has children,
I can help her take care of them.
Now, that's great. Not even the first stroke has been drawn.
I think the layout design of our magazine, advertisement settings, and promotion plans
all don't satisfy the more current trends.
Which advertisement? Ms. Ai can point it out. We can improve.
I'm not talking about one advertisement, but that there's a problem with the whole entity.
Whole entity?
How can that be? Tell us then.
I think our magazine's design is too old fashioned, serious.
It can't be compared with the big international brands.
Director Jin also said just now that we want to achieve the top standards of the nation.
I've flipped through all the magazines in our country.
I think if we were to make it happen, it's not impossible.
How do we make it? Tell us.
I think the standards of our design personnel are limited. If we were to achieve top quality, we have to hire more skilled people.
I can understand Ms. Ai's thinking.
From the market's perspective, it's true that we have to reorganize ourselves.
As for the issue of hiring new people, let's talk about it after.
Okay, everyone. That's it for our meeting today. Everyone, consider seriously
Assistant Ai's ideas.
Dismissed.
What does she mean?
She thinks we're sandbags or useless leeches or something?
She disagrees with us completely the moment she joins.
Isn't that too overboard?
That's right. Even if she has seen the outside world,
she doesn't have to criticize our hard ward to the ground on her first day at work.
Actually, what she says isn't unreasonable either.
I had planned to take the chance of changing layouts next year to fix them anyway.
That's true too. We talked about it before.
But when she says it from her mouth today,
why does it feel so uncomfortable hearing it from her?
You two, outside these doors, no one is allowed to complain.
Understand?
Take these documents back to read.
I predict there'll be a meeting to discuss them soon.
If we don't want to be fired, we must be prepared.
Han Le, give Li Hao a call and tell him to come to my office.
I think his articles are very fitting for our readers' needs.
Besides, it can also distinguish us from other magazines.
- I want to increase his layout size.- Alright.
- Go back to your work.- Okay.
I have lunch in my car. Are you coming down, or should I come up?
Hello, Yi Ping. You probably should come up.
I have a couple of things here. I can't leave.
[Fitness Center and Spa]
Alright.
Maintain your speed.
Very good. Move your arms.
Keep going for five more seconds. Five, four, three, two, one. Alright.
You've all completed your moves well.
You've all done very well today. You did great.
Time is up today. We'll meet next class.
- Thank you, Trainer Lü.- Sure.
Trainer Lü,
let's treat you to a meal later.
It's okay. I have things to do in a while. Thank you guys.
We wanted to hear you talk about the diet meals.
That's right. Health and nutrition comes only from eating.
Starving yourself to lose weight is the same as committing suicide.
That's why it'll be very healthy and safe if we eat with you.
Right. Next week, I'm going to start a class on healthy eating in the Fitness Center and Spa.
You can come together and attend then.
Okay! That's great!
Good bye.
That's great! Let's go.

That Lü Cheng is so popular among the female customers.
That's right. If he wasn't a little attractive, could he let Boss attend to his every whim?
Really? Ou Le Le's family is so rich, and he's still working here?
Getting used to the business first? Then, he can go straight to being the Mr. Boss.
- Mr. Boss?- Are you stupid?
A boss's wife is called Mrs. Boss. Of course a boss's husband should be called Mr. Boss.
To be honest, it's really hard to be rich working in our profession.
He gives a class for ¥100? We only get ¥20.
If we can get Boss to marry us, we can shave off at least ten years of hard work.
But Lü Cheng doesn't seem like that kind of person.
Forget it. It's not like it's written on his face.
Hurry up and change. We're not that fortunate.
Let's go back to work.
It's a great feeling to have someone to dote on me.
Try it and see if it tastes good.
- It tastes good.- Tastes good, right?
I wasn't going to go to this shop.
Later, I went the wrong way. I passed by this restaurant and remember that you liked eating xiao long bao.(Xiao long bao = mini buns)
Right. Ai Da Cheng's little sister came to our magazine company to work as a direct assist.
She doesn't work at her older brother's company. Why is she coming here to you?
What did you say it was? What does a direct assist do?
Direct assist is the director's assistant.
Silly.
Compared to your title, whose position is higher?
About equal level.
I'm sales and marketing. She does public relations.
We probably won't interfere with each other.
Don't think that way. She's very scheming.
You know her? How could that be?
Didn't you just meet her that day too?
- Li Hao.- You're eating already?
I was thinking of bringing good things for you to eat.
I think that's our company's lunchbox.
You recognize it?
It's like this. Han Le was just saying that you were trying to lose weight and not eating.
So he gave it to me.
Let me introduce you guys.
Fu Yi Ping. Li Hao.
Hello.
Yi Ping, I'm telling you. You have to thank him.
If he didn't tear my skirt at the department store that day,
we might really not know each other.
Boyfriend. A real one. Not a fake.
When did I become a matchmaker? I never knew.
You have to treat me to a meal.
That's for sure. When you and Liang Shuang have time some day, I'll treat you two to a meal.
Okay.
I didn't know you didn't eat. But...
It's fine. You keep chatting. I'll just eat outside.
Eat here. I'll pour a cup of water for you. Sit down first.
Sit, sit.
You do...?
I'm a psychologist. What about you?
I do financing.
That's very compatible. Chief Supervisor of Design. Financing.
Hello, Mom. What's the matter?- Le Le.
It's been so many days since I last saw Lü Cheng.
When will you bring him home to visit?
That healthy soup... when will he teach me how to make it?
I'll tell him to go make it for you later on.
Later on?
What day is later on?
What day? No matter what day, I have to ask him when he has time first.
I'm busy right now.
Alright, go back to work.
- Don't forget, okay?- Got it, got it.
Lü Cheng.
What?
My mom wants you to make that soup.
I won't go.
I have things to do.
Then when do you have time?
- If you don't promise her, she'll keep nagging me...- I don't have time!
You swallowed gunpowder?
Enough, Boss.
Can you not bother me for things other than work from now on?
What's wrong now?
Subtitles by The Golden Age Team
What's wrong?
Want to jump into the river?
I can't die if I jump in anyway.
I won't worry if you die or not. What I'm worried about is that if you jump down, the boats will be destroyed.
You'll be fine.
Here.
I bought a dozen. Do you think that's enough?
I'll drink and see.
Why do I feel that you're in a particularly good mood today?
Is something wrong with your eyes? And you're a psychologist?
It's better to be angry than to be sulking.
Li Hao, you've known me for so many years.
What do you think of me as a person?
What's up? What did Ou Le Le say about you?
Don't mention that woman. Do you think she's the only woman in my life?
That's right. You still have your second uncle.
What's wrong?
You got beaten up at the center?
It's not as fortunate as you make it out to be.
In this city,
I always feel a certain pressure.
You can't experience it.
Ever since I got accepted into college, I've always had that feeling.
I used to think I was great.
But as soon as I step into this society, this realistic and materialistic society...
I feel really bad.
I feel that I can't assimilate into this society at all.
Originally, I wanted, through my own hard work,
to be accepted by others.
But what happened?
No one can understand me.
You tell me. Am I someone who relies on rich girls and takes the easy way out?
For someone like you who has no source of fun,
I think you don't have the qualities to find a rich girl to rely on.
But I think if some rich girl needs some love and mistakes you for someone else,
it might be possible.
Sure. That's how everyone sees me right now.
I think I'm not fit to be here at all.
I want to leave.
Okay. Hurry up and go.
Hurry up.
Ou Le Le really is wealthier than I am. If I'm good with her, everyone will think I'm the one taking advantage of her.
Even her mom might think I'm taking advantage of her, that I have my eyes on her family's money.
Then avoid. Run away.
If it were you, what would you do?
You and I have different family backgrounds and grew up under different circumstances.
I can't give you advice.
I just feel that you don't run away so easily.
You don't give up so easily.
In your heart, you always have a barrier.
As long as you overcome it in giant steps,
isn't that all there is?
Brother, you have a couple of tricks up your sleeve.
Not just a couple.
But I just feel that Ou Le Le's personality is pretty good.
She's a little impulsive, but she's really kind.
If you really don't want her, I... I can more or less...
Don't you like Liang Shuang?
Can I like both of them?
You have a big appetite.
I can't?
Then tell me. Do you like her?
Say it.
Say it. Look at me.
- Whatever. Go away.- Do you like her? If you don't tell me, I'll go chase her.
I dare you to drink it all if you can.
- Drink it.- You have a big appetite. You drink it all.
I just won't.
Our boss is here.
- Director Jin.- Have a seat.
Li Hao.
Let me introduce you. This is our magazine company's boss, Director Jin.
This is the new Director's Assistant, Ai Xiao Fang.
- Hello.- Li Hao, psychologist expert.
We don't need to introduce him. We all know him.
You guys sit.
Director Jin, GM Fu is an old friend of mine.
Last time, it's because of his own charm that moved my older brother.
That's why we decided not to sue.
Oh, no. It's our magazine company.
Thank you so much.
I never thought that the world is so tiny.
We manage to run into each other spinning in our own circles.
Xiao Fu, I heard Liang Shuang say that you are our magazine company's future son-in-law.
Right?
Director Jin, aren't you exaggerating?
I was just saying that he's my boyfriend.
Thank you, Director Jin. I definitely won't disappoint you
and be a good Willing's son-in-law.
That's great.
Liang Shuang's our magazine company's old lady.
You've helped us resolve a problem in our society.
I have to thank you.
Then you might as well gift us with stocks.
You really are my wife. You have such a mind for finance.
You're done sweating it off? Let's go eat.
- I'm starving.- Why do you always think of eating?
Can you not discipline me like my mom?
When humans are in starvation, we're mentally unstable.
You're good. You really do read our magazine?
I didn't like to read it before. Since that pervert's article was published, I read every issue.
You don't say. His articles really are quite interesting.
Actually, he's not a bad person either.
Do you regret it now?
Regret what?
- I'll take a shower. I'll take you to meet him later.- Meet who?
You'll see when you meet him.
Hurry up.
Where the hell did he go? Why isn't he picking up?
I'm almost starved to death. If I don't eat now, I'll stop breathing.
Let's go. Let's eat. Forget him.
Okay.
- Here, here.- Cheers.
GM Ai, I'll leave first. I have to go on a business trip tomorrow.
I have to leave too. I have a bunch of things to take care of tomorrow.
Let's go, Xiao Fang. I'll take you back.
Ge, you go back first. I have some things I have to talk about with GM Fu.
Let's not talk anymore. I have to leave too. I'll leave too.
There are details about the contract I have to talk to you about.
We have one more bottle of wine we haven't finished yet.
Then how about this? I'll send Ms. Ai back later.
You guys leave first.
Xiao Fang, I'll hand you over to Yi Ping.
Let's go, old Xu.
- Good bye.- Take care, GM Ai.
Bye bye.
They're gone. Come on. Bottoms up.
Why do we have to bottoms up? Let's drink leisurely.
Then you drink leisurely. I'll drink bottoms up.
You're quite a fierce woman, Ms. Ai.
Ms. Ai?
I forgot again. Xiao Fang.
There's another hidden stock in the contract. Did you know that?
Isn't it just 10% of the stocks?
You're satisfied just with 10% of the stock?
I have limited capital.
I have 20%. I can give you 5%.
Why?
It's like this. As long as you promise
to sign as a consultant for Beauty Facial, I'll give you 5%.
Added together, that's 15%.
Doesn't that mean that aside from 10% of the profits every year,
you give me more than ¥300,000 for nothing?
It's not for nothing. There are conditions.
Will you accept it?
[Employee Contract]
Isn't it just to be a consultant?
If there's money, why don't I take it? That's not the style of Wall Street.
I admire your frank attitude.
Here.
Here's to a happy collaboration.
Happy collaboration.
[11 missed calls]
Let's go.
It tastes great.
It seems like I finally feel better now.
Hunger is the same as poverty. It saddens people.
When were you poor?
I think that now,
hunger and waiting both sadden people.
What's wrong? Still nothing from him?
You don't think that Fu Yi Ping would be a player, would he?
I don't think it's to that extent.
I just feel weird. He's never not picked up my call for so long.
- Did something happen?- Traffic accident?
Saying unlucky stuff.
It seems like you guys are already really close now.
You're in your honeymoon phase?
Slowly, slowly.
Miss, let me help you.
Take it slow.
- Thank you.- No problem.
- Careful.- Slowly.
Here.
- This way.- Okay.
- Careful.- Slowly.
Over here.
- There.- Thank you, miss.
Sorry, but the phone you dialed is turned off.
Forget it. I wanted you two to meet. Seems like it wasn't destined.
He and I must be utterly incompatible. Our stars oppose each other.
Actually, not every call has to be picked up when two people are together.
It's just that today, Ai Xiao Fang was so carefree with Fu Yi Ping at our company today.
It makes me feel really uncomfortable.
Alright, Liang Shuang. Let's go.
Don't think about that Fu Yi Ping.
I'm troubled right now too. That Lü Cheng...
I treat him well,
he doesn't appreciate me, and even gives me attitude.
Why do I have to take that treatment?
That's true. Say, what friends did we make?
Why don't we learn from Li Hao and move out?
We can't.
Why?
When Fu Yi Ping picks up your call, you'll change.
You turn around and leave me behind and go be happy by yourselves.
I won't believe you.
Do I value boys over friendship that much?
You're just like that.
Let's go.
Waiter, check please.
Let's go sit a while.
You said that Fu Yi Ping thinks Ai Xiao Fang's not bad?
He was from a businessman's perspective.
I think no business is without fraud.
Be careful that they don't get together and cheat you.
Did you watch too many dramas?
I trust Yi Ping. He said he doesn't like Ai Xiao Fang's type.
You believe that too?
Do you trust Lü Cheng?
You don't say.
I've never doubted that much about that person.
Why don't you confess to him?
What? That can't be.
He keeps me thousands of leagues away.
Do you like him or not?
I don't know either.
Alright, let's not talk about it.
We have to get drunk today.
Cheers.
I won't drink anymore. My head hurts. I won't go back.
I don't dare see my mom. I'm afraid my mom will nag at me again.
But we still have to go back.
I won't go back. I'm unfairly treated.
When I go back, I'm an total sinner no matter what.
You're a sinner right now too, the drunk type.(Sin and drunk are both pronounced "zuei")
Liang Shuang, I feel so bad.
You have everything.
Dad, boyfriend. You don't lack either.
I don't have anything.
Don't be like that, Le Le. Le Le.
I really feel bad for my mom.
Why am I so useless?
Alright. You've had too much to drink. I'll take you home.
I won't go back. I don't have the face to see my mom.
Then how about we go back to the fitness center?
Go back to the fitness center.
Let's go.
Let's go, okay?
Let's go.
Go slowly.
Are you okay?
Come over here.
I'm exhausted.
