Episode 20
I value myself. I have to use my own abilities to do this job well.
Therefore, they push my away
because they're afraid that when I'm there, I will suppress the people they want to support.
I'm also pure of heart.
This little sister of mine is used to relying on me ever since she was little.
So even now, whenever she encounters trouble with dealing with people,
she comes to find me. Xiao Fang,
don't worry. GM Xie's relationship with me is solid.
If you need anything, as long as it's within his capability, GM Xie will definitely help you.
Didn't you just want to go back to Willing Magazine?
Actually, my idea is a little simpler.
I've always wanted to find a magazine to collaborate with and start an online version.
Now, it seems that a few magazines are doing it quite well.
Right, Xiao Fang. What do you think you can do in the magazine company?
I want you do be their largest investor.
I will be your acting repesentative.
Okay. No problem.
Then it's set.
Thank you, Xie Da Ge.
Thanks, Ge.
- Let's cheers together.- Here, cheers.
It's just like you predicted.
Jin Zhen and Xu Guang Tian are discussing eagerly.
When they walked out, everyone seemed in high spirits.
I can tell they are happy with their discussion.
I always keep my word.
I said that I would return gloriously, so I will return gloriously.
I said that you'll be promoted and get a raise, so you will be promoted and get a raise.
Just wait for my good news.
Then, can I be the Chief Supervisor of Advertisements?
Congratulations, Chief Supervisor Zhao.
How should I thank you, my benefactor?
- Take out is here. Quick.- You go.
- Hurry up, you!- Go!
It's paused.
- Are you going or not?- You have to wait for me.
Go!
Auntie, how come you're here?
I came to see you. These are things you like to eat the most.
Thank you.
I'll go get changed. Auntie, have a seat first.
Don't worry.

Hurry up!
Did I scare you?
Auntie, sorry.
I frightened you.
Have some water.
Thanks.
Do you want to play?
It's a lot of fun, but I don't know how to play.
Then do you want to watch television?
You can watch.
I thought you knew how to play games.
I don't.
Auntie, sorry. We didn't know you would come. See, it's a mess. We didn't clean up. Sorry.
Boys' rooms are all the same.
Then I'll go back to my room first to read. You guys can chat.
Lü Cheng, sit.
Auntie.
It tastes good.
No matter how thirsty I am, I don't like to drink those acidic drinks.
Actually, our Le Le is just like me.
Whatever she likes, she'll give it her all. She won't drag her feet.
She persists to the end.
Lü Cheng, even though we haven't known each other very long,
but I feel that you're like that too.
Maybe.
In this society, people like this are few.
It's really fate that you two can be together.
As the girl's parent, some things are not appropriate for me to say.
But I really can't hide things in my heart. I'm worried for you guys.
Auntie, just say whatever you would like. Don't worry.
I just still want to ask you.
Do you like our Le Le or not?
I need a clear answer. I think Le Le is the same too.
With so many things, once the opportunity passes,
you won't be able to grasp it anymore.
Auntie has had experience. I don't want you guys to regret it.
Auntie, I know what you mean.
What you said is right. We have to hold onto our fate right now.
Regarding Le Le, I'll tell you the truth.
Actually, I really like Le Le. I really admire her a lot.
Really?
I knew you would say that!
Auntie, you have to believe me. Before, I didn't dare to approach Le Le
because Le Le is in such a high position in my heart.
And these feelings for her haven't changed, even now.
Now, I'm also trying to make myself stronger,
more capable. This is definitely not trying to find a balance.
It's just that I want myself to be closer to her.
I knew I wasn't wrong about you.
Lü Cheng, if you really like her, just get together already.
Any Guo Liang or Li Liang, don't mind them.
Her dad is gone. I'm being both a dad and a mom.
But marriage is about you two. I can't make the decision.
So Lü Cheng, I'm really begging of you. If you really like her, be brave and confess to her.
Girls are all like this. She goes with whoever pursues her more. They're all like that.
Auntie, I understand how you feel.
I promise you. As long as Le Le is willing, I can do anything.
Really? That's great, Lü Cheng!
I've been waiting to hear this from you. With your word,
I can be relieved for the rest of my life.
Here, Auntie. Have some water.
Our future mother-in-law left?
You've become a mute?
They're always talking about leftover ladies these days.
Do you think we can be considered leftover guys?
I don't know. Probably not.
Why do I feel like I'm pressured right now?
I feel like I should create a detailed
and reliable plan for my marriage?
- You feel the same?- Perhaps.
Don't you think Ou Le Le's mom made it clear and obvious enough?
If I still don't muster up the courage and charge forward...
Then you're not a leftover guy. You're a disabled guy.
You're talking about me? What about yourself? What do you plan to do about Liang Shuang?
You're talking? That's right. Why doesn't Liang Shuang's mom come find me?
If she opens her heart and talks to me,
then maybe I'll marry her daughter tomorrow.
It seems like the quiet leftover guy is going to morph into a courageous leftover knight.
I admire you.
No, no. My big obstacle
is still blocking me. Yours is already pulled away.
Just go out and sing. Isn't that easy?
Then you pull it away. Do you want your mom to help pull it away for you?
You're right. My mom really pulled it.
What happened?
Isn't it all that Ai Xiao Fang?
I finally exacted revenge for Liang Shuang.
You really have your ways.
Isn't it just like cheating off people?
I learned from you. Giving back what they gave me.
You're horrible at playing games. But this one is brilliant.
Are you ready to pursue Ou Le Le?
If that Guo guy didn't pop out of nowhere in the middle of all this,
I think I'd have to...
Me too.
If Fu Yi Ping didn't pop out in the middle of nowhere,
then haven't all four of us already...
Sometimes I really feel that the two of us are quite stupid.
Why is it so tiring for us to be in love?
Back then, when Ou Le Le asked us to meet at the singles meeting event,
I was really opposed to it.
Now that I think about it,
maybe I should have just found a girl there.
That way I don't have to keep wondering and exhausted thoroughly.
Fine then. You take the initiative. Try looking for one.
If it works, introduce one to me.
Whatever. Why do you take the initiative? You try.
Weren't you about to try?
Alright, alright. I'll go try.
Afterwards, I'll introduce one to you. Super short and super fat.
- I think one is very suitable for you. The one with...- The one that sells cakes?
- Sure.- You like her, right? I knew it!
Come. Have a seat.
- Sit.- Okay.
Let me introduce her to everyone. She is Ms. Ai Xiao Fang.
To be honest, I don't have much experience with magazines,
so I wanted to find Ms. Ai, who knows about magazines
and understands business management as my stock holder representative.
From today on, she represents me.
She has full access to my executive rights.
In the future, she will help conduct management smoothly.
I hope you all will take care of me in the future.
We're doomed. We've only had a few days of peace.
The worst off are Director Jin and Xu Guang Tian.
50% of the stocks of Xie Feng's online company
belongs to Ai Xiao Fang's older brother, Ai Da Cheng.
This means that she's using this opportunity to charge back into Willing.
She's obviously planning to be an equal stock holder with Director Jin and them.
Even if Jin Zhen and then find about about this now, it's too late.
They can only watch.
That much work? Why does she have to come here?
What's her purpose?
I'm assuming she wants to earn back her reputation.
But she doesn't have to go in that huge of a circle.
Forget her. Hurry up and eat.
Okay. I don't have any objections.
Not bad. I agree too.
I don't agree.
Why?
Didn't you always feel that our designers were incapable and wanted to find new people?
Then why are you going to pull Zhao Ni away from me?
You can hire better people.
Because I don't think we need to hire people right now.
Also, from my observations, Zhao Ni will do.
After Zhao Ni goes with you, only Han Le will be left to deal with all layout designs.
How can one person deal with that much work?
So I suggest that hiring new people is very necessary.
That's right. The pressure on our layouts is indeed quite significant.
Han Le definitely won't be able to handle it alone.
But Willing just started its online version. The pressure is great too.
And there's lots of work as well.
You can hire people online.
I've cultivated Zhao Ni for so many years. She's just starting to be able to take responsibilities.
I don't think you have the right to speak to me like that.
Why? Because you're more of an expert than I am?
I'm sorry. In this field, you still lack understanding.
Liang Shuang, I hope you can be clear about your status and position.
Also, I advise you. As a subordinate, don't go against your higher executives.
Or else, you won't be able to do this job for much longer.
Let's focus on the issue. Don't stray far.
Regarding the suggestion of hiring people,
Director Jin and I both thing that it is possible. Two against one.
I think we can approve the suggestion, right?
We aren't playing the majority game right now.
The deciding right isn't necessarily in the hands of the majority either.
Our company has never been so complicated before.
So you have never improved, including your magazine.
This is absurd.
My head is hurting.
In any case, your opinions also have to change as the stocks shift.
Fine. I think I understand.
Do you think that we're all useless now,
- and you can just do all of it alone?- I can.
Do you remember? I said before. However I go out,
I'll let you ask me to come back in the same fashion.
I also ask you to mind your behavior.
This isn't the board of directors meeting, where you can speak like this.
Enough. I'll withdraw this suggestion.
That's too unreasonable.
I hope that you are emotionally prepared. This is just the beginning.
Did I fall asleep?
Thankfully, not many people saw.
You're really tired these days?
I'm really stressed these days.
If I say something wrong, I might be done for.
- Another crazy person came?- Not "came". It's "came back".
- It's...- Ai Xiao Fang.
As soon as she got back, she pulled Zhao Ni to her side.
I suggested her to hire someone to design the layouts, and she wouldn't agree.
Now all the work is left to Han Le. He can't possibly finish.
So I have to work with him too.
No wonder.
Ever since I met you, I haven't seen you look so horrible.
Really?
Maybe I'm severely dehydrated.
Do I really look that ugly right now?
How long do you have before you go back to work?
At most, 40 minutes.
I have an idea. I can let you fall into deep sleep in the shortest amount of time.
- Are you serious?- Why would I lie to you?
Come on. Come with me.
I won't kidnap and sell you,
because I wouldn't bear to.
Who's afraid?
Let's go.
- Let's pay the check.- It's paid.
Quick.
This way.
What are you doing? You're not going to electrocute me, are you?
It's like you always see in movies. Exclusively for psychologists.
So cool. Is it to hypnotize me?
Lay down first and take a nap.
When it's time, I'll tell you.
Sleep well.
It's really comfortable.
- Thanks.- Haven't fallen asleep yet?
Go to sleep.
Subtitles by The Golden Age Team
Honey! Quick, get up. It's time for work!
Mom! Thank you!
Has Guo Liang come these days?
No. Ever since that incident, he hasn't come again.
Bring me the membership log.
Here.
Hello, I'd like to speak to Guo Liang.
What do you mean guest?
What is this place?
Hotel?
Thank you, then.
Sir, what would you like to order?
Hold on. Let me see first.
Let's have an original flavor ramen meal.
Isn't that Guo Liang's dad?
What's the matter? You seem lost in thought.
Lü Cheng, I want to tell you something.
What is it?
Guess who I saw today.
- Who?- Guo Liang's dad.
Then guess where I saw him?
Where?
It was next to a tent for parking bicycles across the street.
I think he was watching over the bicycles over there.
So what?
Guo Liang's dad is watching over bicycles.
What's so strange about that? Guo Liang's family wasn't great to begin with.
Ever since he fell, his dad came here to take care of him.
Guo Liang told me all that before.
But as soon as I came out, I couldn't find him.
Did I see wrong?
It must be because you miss Guo Liang.
How can he just vanish into thin air?
He didn't leave a trace.
Don't think too much. Maybe he'll be back in a couple of days.
But if it were me, I wouldn't come back even if you killed me.
- Why?- Your mom already gave the order to expel him.
Most men who have even just a little pride wouldn't dare to come back.
That's what I feel most sorry and horrible about.
Just think. If my mom didn't treat him like that that day,
I wouldn't say stuff like that to oppose my mom.
I wouldn't make it so awkward for him either.
Is this the 2009 CLS model?
It is. This is the model released in 09.
- Do you have 10 models?- We do. They also come in various accommodations.
What type do you want?
4.7 liter, two-wheel drive, V8 model.
V8 model? It's the top model for CRS series.
- We're very sorry. Our display room doesn't have the car at the moment.- Is that so?
Yes. There aren't many vehicles of this limited model in the nation either.
But if you are interested, you can leave your contact info.
Then, when we have the car available, we can schedule for you to take a test drive.
Okay. Thanks.
- If there's a car, call me. This is my business card. Thanks.- Okay.
[Lin Guo Liang]Chief Executive Officer for the China district?
Liang Shuang, as the Chief Supervisor of Design, is this your standard?
- Is there a problem?- Need I say it?
Do you think that I'm an outsider and know nothing,
so you are fooling me with this?
Are we fooling you, or do you really not know this field?
We picked this out of more than ten options.
Also, it was created after combining popular feedback and research on top trends.
Trends? Do you know what trends mean?
A bunch of foolish idiots.
If you have opinions, you can raise them directly. Please keep your mouth clean.
I think you don't have the right to negotiate with me.
You know that Willing has always targeted famous people and white collared readers.
Among all the things you chose, which one has class, has taste?
Willing has always followed this style,
and top trends are completely unrelated to your supposed class and taste.
- Please figure it out yourself before you come talk to me.- That's right.
Do you not want to work anymore?
I'm telling you. Firing you takes only a few minutes of my time.
Ai Xiao Fang, don't overstep your boundaries.
Even if you have power in your hands right now, that doesn't mean you can give orders as you please.
GM Ai, that's not what Han Le meant.
For this layout, he works overtime everyday, as late as midnight.
Shut up. Do you have a say in this?
You don't need to explain anything. None of this is approved.
Redo everything.
Zhao Ni, are you okay?
I really don't know how I would have believed her.
How can she be like that?
You know what that Ai Xiao Fang is like.
- And you naively went to her side.- Han Le, don't say anymore.
The thing I regret doing the most in my entire life
is believing in her, and being bribed by her.
I feel like I lost you guys as my friends.
It's not that you don't know
what Ai Xiao Fang is like. And you still did such a stupid thing?
I'm stupid. I'm an idiot.
It's just all my fault.
Alright, alright.
Now's not the time to be talking about who's fault it is.
The important thing is that we have to find a way to send this crazy person out.
Actually, I have an idea. Listen to this.
Dr. Li, a gentleman with the last name Xie says he would like to pay you a visit.
Pay me a visit? Are we in historic times?
Then I think he's seriously ill. Let him in.
Mr. Xie, this way please.
Dr. Li, hello.
Hello. Please, have a seat.
When I read your article, I always thought you were 40 something years old.
I didn't think that you were that young. It's admirable.
Thank you. Which article did you read?
The one in Willing about pre-marital anxiety
and analysis.
You're not interested in that topic, are you?
I do feel deeply about it.
What is it?
I have something to discuss with you. Do you have time right now?
Have a seat.
I want... I want to go back to work at the magazine.
What? I only scolded you a bit and you don't want to work anymore?
No. I feel that online promotion doesn't suit me.
I learned layout design. I am very adept at designing.
So I want to go back there.
I feel that you're so young. You shouldn't be confined to your expertise.
Who knows how to do this when they're born?
It's just like learning how to draw. You didn't always know how.
You shouldn't be pessimistic about this. I wanted you to do the promotion with me
because you should learn more and increase the number of skills you have.
Later, you'll have more room to expand.
Think about it. You're only 20 something years old.
You can learn design as someone's assistant.
But what about five or ten years later?
Then, you can't work overtime anymore, and you don't have a new direction to expand into.
Who would want to ask you to design?
Don't come running to me and say that you only know how to draw, and don't know anything else.
It's not that I'm not willing to touch these new things.
I just feel that my abilities are limited.
Promotion always requires interacting with people.
I won't be able to do this.
I'm truly thinking about your good. Why do you think that?
Did someone tell you something?
No.
Then why are you suddenly telling me this?
I feel that I haven't had much sales recently,
and I myself am worried too.
Or do you think that you've been used by me?
Even if I used you, think about it.
You didn't lose anything either.
You have to hold your future in your own hands.
Also, as a woman, you can't be too soft-hearted.
- Here.- Thanks.
You're the new director of the magazine?
- Sorry. I was impolite just now.- No, no.
I just happened to read the next issue of Willing Magazine when I had nothing to this afternoon.
I saw your article and felt that your article was particularly well written.
All my troubles have been... been...
Just say whatever you'd like to say.
You aren't because you're right about to get married, so you're experiencing pre-marital distress?
Me?
Put the luxurious cream and face mask on the top shelf.
Put the chrysanthemum tea and golden silver tea on the bottom shelf.
And this one.
Hydrating and make up removal cream
in the top shelf.
Let me see if it's still within expiration date.
It's fine.
Are you still...?
What's wrong? Hurry up and put it away.
Can you be more normal? Look.
You're not like your name at all, Ou Le Le.(Le = happy)
Who said that just because I'm called Le Le, I have to be happy?(Le = happy)
Then I loved to cry when was little. Anytime someone upset me, I would cry.
I kept crying until their parents brought food to my mom and apologized
would I stop crying.
No wonder you're so thin.
Then your mom doesn't need to cook anymore. When you're done crying, can't you just wait for people to give you food?
That's not what I meant.
I'm frustrated. Don't mind me.
You think I wouldn't understand?
I know. I know it all.
Aren't you just worried about that Guo Liang?
Our online company are full of young people.
And everyone seems to be like a computer prodigy.
Talking to computers is completely fine. But...
But there's trouble between two people?
Actually, all the workers in my company are good kids. But as soon as they get home,
they will run into all sorts of problems.
This or that problem will start to arise. Lots of them are similar.
- Can you understand if I put it that way?- I understand.
According to what they say, they have a similarity.
They all have pre-marital anxiety.
I don't understand. When I was getting married,
we went in with the marriage in mind.
Back then, even if we didn't have a car or a house, we still got married.
And parents nowadays have already prepared the car, the house.
Even the job is prepared.
What are they still concerned about?
Later, after I read your article did I know
that they were spoiled children born in the 80s.
I'm also an 80s child.
You're not typical. You're an exception.
Maybe I'm an anomaly.
Then do you think I understood incorrectly?
Actually, pre-marital anxiety
normally are because they were the only child and precious darling of their family.
But as soon as they are about to get married, one person suddenly turns into two people. They feel pressured.
Actually, more men have this issue compared to women.
Men are anxious about marriage mainly because they are afraid
they can't take up the burden and responsibility of the family. They doubt themselves.
They will think inside:
Do I have the ability
to support a family and the future of their children?
I think you're so right.
Everything you said are issues with the employees in my company.
I think it might be cause they lack the emotional nurture as they were growing up.
If you this really happened,
as a psychologist, what do you think we can do
to save it?
You can give them emotional guidance. Talk to them
and let them change their perspective.
Actually, GM Xie, this is what I was going to talk about in the next issue about mature love.
You have to love others like you love yourself.
Use your attitude of loving yourself to love others.
I think what you say makes quite a lot of sense.
How about I schedule you to come to our company to give a talk?
Then why don't you let them buy the next issue of the magazine?
Then I think it would be better to record a video of you and post it on the online magazine.
Don't, don't. I'm afraid of revealing myself.
It really won't work?
Hello. Who are you looking for?
May I ask if there's anything you need me to help with?
Naughty girl. Where's Le Le?
She's with Trainer Lü organizing the stock.
That Guo person didn't come, did he?
He didn't.
Thank heavens. I hope he doesn't come anymore.
Do you think I have that kind of relationship with him?
Not completely.
Why? I already said so.
I don't care about any of his imperfections.
But he might not think that way.
He's not the same as you. He treats me so well.
Unlike you, treating me so coldly.
How do you know if he's real or not?
I don't care. He's quite liked by girls.
In any case, he's better than you.
They always say girls are easy to fool. So it's true?
Just a couple of lunches took care of her.
Did you hear me talking?
I said that he's better than you are.
What's the use of being better? He comes and goes as he wishes. Now you have to worry about him.
Lü Cheng, you're good.
You're quite confident inside.
Mom! What are you doing?
You look like a spy in the American movies.
Please. I'm your daughter.
Do you think I wouldn't recognize you?
Just wrapping yourself up in a scarf and wearing shades can fool me?
I bought those shades for you.
Look at you, responding so slowly. It's like slow-motion replay.
Do you think you can escape me?
If you act like this as a spy, I reckon you'll be caught immediately.
What? Is this Auntie?
It is me.
It really is Auntie. Auntie, I didn't recognize you. Sorry.
Mom, you're going to scare people like this sooner or later.
Auntie, go inside and sit down first. I still have things to do.
- Sit down and chat first.- Go about your work. I'll just take a look.
- Sit down first.- You.
What? What's the purpose of your arrival today?
Do I have to have something in order for me to come here?
It's high noon, and you're not resting, but come here instead.
Moreover, I'm not missing an arm or leg.
Don't worry, Mom. Okay?
I'm telling you. I really have been having migraines lately.
I can't fall asleep at night, and don't sleep well during the day.
Is that serious? I'll find a therapist to give you a massage. Wait here.
If you are fine, I won't be ill.
- How are you two these days?- Just like that.
- You're still upset?- Upset about what?
With that Guo something last time?
No, no. Mom, can you not listen to rumors all day?
I know. No wonder you're dressed up like this.
You here's to spy on me?
I'm being a spy because I need to know how you two are doing.
Mom, I really lost to you. Do you really take me as a child?
I can handle my own issues.
You just take good care of yourself and don't cause me trouble.
That's the best support and encouragement to me.
I'm causing you trouble?
Le Le, you should be embarrassed to say that.
- Mom!- Stop calling me.
If we had a grandson or granddaughter next to us now,
how rowdy would that me?
It does seem like a good thing.
What grandson or granddaughter? Get our daughter home first.
That would be easier.
Why isn't that child home yet? I'm already sleepy.
If you're sleepy, just go and rest.
Didn't we agree to tell her about that?
Isn't telling her tomorrow the same thing?
We can't always keep putting it off to tomorrow.
We're always leaving it to tomorrow. Our daughter will never get married.
You always say my words are harsh. You don't sound any better.
