Episode 23
If you can give me one month, I guarantee that the sales will be doubled.
Who in here can do that?
Okay. If you can do it,
I'm willing to give you my stocks in Willing to you with both hands.
Is this for real?
Since I've said it, I will definitely keep my word.
But what if you can't do it?
I'll back out.
Why should I believe you?
Pen and paper. No one can deny it.
Nice.
[Agreement]
You're asked Guo Liang out today?
No. Actually, it was him that invited my mom.
Should I bring out the flowers and give it to her?
Tell her the words I've rehearsed hundreds of times?
You can do it. You definitely can do it!
It's about time. I think he should be here soon too.
Your mom won't go to the meal with him.
What does that mean?
I didn't mean anything. Auntie called me to tell me that.
That's not possible. She promised me just this morning.
But she called me early this afternoon saying she won't go.
Le Le,
hold on. I have something to tell you.
Such pretty flowers. Who left them here?
- Where did it come from?- I don't know.
Who bring this here?
I don't know.
It wouldn't be some gentleman that gave it to you?
Is there a card on there or something?
No.
Such pretty flowers must cost a lot.
- Let's set them up on the front desk.- Let's go.
Didn't you have something to tell me?
Lü Cheng?
What did you say?
Didn't you have something to tell me?
No, it's nothing. Nothing.
Then you're just leaving after you get your things? Is that what you planned to do?
I...

[Best Wishes]
You scared me! You're buying stuff?
- What are you buying?- The old man wants to get a new television set.
I saw that they're having an event for television sets on the second floor in the newspaper.
So I came over.
- Where is he?- Upstairs.
What are you doing? Are you and your daughter setting up shop?
You bought so much food. Can you finish it all?
Our Le Le's boyfriend is coming to have dinner.
She's finally together with Lü Cheng?
I can't explain it.
Why can't you explain it?
So are you unsatisfied or is Le Le unsatisfied?
Of course I'm satisfied. It's Le Le that's being picky.
Le Le changed another one?
It's what I told you last time.
The little rascal that's getting therapy at the center.
They still haven't cut off contact?
Didn't I tell you to be harsh?
I was harsh,
but that little rascal is especially aggressive.
Lü Cheng can't compete with him.
Don't blame Lü Cheng. Your daughter is too qualified.
Other people can't help but feel inadequate.
But you can't loosen up.
Girls don't have the ability to tell what's good or not. Don't they all rely on parents to watch over them?
I'm watching over every phase. I worry every day.
I'm not worried about whether they're together or not.
I'm worried that Lü Cheng lacks self-confidence too much. He's this and that all day.
Do you think they'll be able to live well together?
How do I put it? I think lacking self-confidence is better than being a playboy.
You're too right. We can't have playboys. We have to have the one that lacks self-confidence.
That's right. If it was lacking self-confidence, your daughter can control him.
But a playboy might not be able to be controlled.
The daughter would be hurt sooner or later.
- I'd rather have the playboy.- What are you saying?
You...
I don't want the playboy.
Seriously.
I'm sorry. I came late.
Sir, you came to the wrong place.
It's me. Guo Liang.
It's not that I don't recognize you. I just can't believe it.
Right. Hold on.
See? Xi Xi.
She also changed. You took her to therapy the other day. It's only been a couple of days.
Why have both of you changed?
She's recovered. I'm recovered too.
When you see both of us like this, aren't you happy?
Le Le Jie.
Hello, it's me.
You're dressed like this just to eat a meal with me and my mom?
Not just that.
Ms. Ou Le Le. First, I'd like to thank you for taking care of me.
Thank you.
After spending time with you,
I've realized that I've fallen deeply in love with you. It's true.
Are you willing to be my girlfriend?
I...
Of course, before you accept or reject me,
I still have some things to say to you. Would that be okay?
What else is there to say?
Didn't this already prove that you've been lying to us all this time?
No. This is just a misunderstanding. Let me explain to you.
Can we go for a walk?
My real name is Lin Guo Liang.
Keep it up.
Alright, every has worked hard. Take a rest for ten minutes.
We'll continue with other exercises later.
- Thank you, Trainer.- Thank you, Trainer Lü.
Trainer Lü, you teach so well. You can't go anywhere else.
A few days ago, we didn't have you. Class was so boring.
That's right, Trainer Lü. We were just saying that if you move somewhere else, we'll follow you, no matter how far it is.
Thank you. Thank you for your support.
Trainer L&uuml, come with me. It's something urgent.
- Alright then. You should go.- I'll be there in a bit.
The second city I went to after I came back to the country was Tong Cheng.
And the first girl I met was you.
And I liked you.
Was your leg injury real?
It was real, it just wasn't that serious.
But if I didn't make it seem more serious,
I might not have a chance to come find you more frequently.
Lü Cheng really was right.
I'm not an actor either. It's not weird if he found out.
Then can I ask you another question?
Go ahead and ask.
Then what about your father? He...
I just didn't want the hotel's car to pick me up and drop me off every day.
It'll increase the distance between you and me.
I just wanted him to act as my father.
That way...
That way you can gain sympathy from others.
I hope that my actions didn't upset you.
I should say that it once made me incredible sympathetic towards you.
Actually, the old man also has a hard life.
I just wanted to help him too.
Trainer Lü, that Guo Liang came. And he drove such a luxurious car.
He was going to take Le Le Jie away.
Take her away? Where did he take her?
Don't worry. They're not gone yet.
His car is parked just outside the door.
Then where are they right now?
I think they went westward on a stroll.
This moment finally came. I, Lü Cheng... what do I do?
Cheng Ge, we all hope that you can be together with Le Le Jie. You have to try your best!
Li Li, what did you just say?
Cheng Ge, we all want you to be with Le Le Jie. You have to try your best!
- Thank you. Thank you, Li Li!- Go!
I'll leave this place to you for now!
Don't worry! Hurry up and go!
I hid my true identity from you not because I wanted to lie to you.
I have many girls around me that seem quite excellent.
Because they all know my identity,
I feel that their feelings toward me all stem from a desire for wealth.
I really don't like it.
Of course, I might be overly sensitive.
But in front of you, none of this existed.
It let me experience warmth and purity. It's like my first love.
- Your first love?- Yes.
When I was five years old, I met a little girl on the beach.
Back then, it was love at first sight, and then we were in love.
Isn't that too interesting?
You've forgiven me? Forgiven me for lying to you?
Guo Liang, it's true that I really don't like people lying to me.
But to you, I don't mind.
This means that you're willing to accept me?
Guo Liang, no. Now, I should call you Lin Guo Liang.
You misunderstood.
To be honest, I really do like you a lot.
Your thoughtfulness, your care, and your strength and acceptance.
In any case, you have too many good qualities. I can't count them all.
I know that you need help,
and I'm happy to help people like you without asking for anything in return.
Then when I need love,
can you also give that to me openly?
If I have to use one word to express my feelings for you,
I might say that compassion might be more suitable.
Then what comes after compassion?
It's not love either. Don't be mad.
After all, I fell unknowingly into your act that you self directed.
I know that you're good towards me,
but I can't repay you in the way you'd like me to.
If any of my previous behavior caused you to misunderstand,
then I can only say sorry to you.
Subtitles by The Golden Age Team
Apparently, I really was overly confident.
What did I have to be so sure that you also loved me?
Forget it. I'm too stupid.
Fine. Since that's the case, there's no point in me staying here.
I should go.
But I hope that you can promise me one thing.
Tell me.
Leave Xi Xi with me. That way, I will think of you whenever I see her.
Thank you.
I want to know. If I approached you with my true identity from the very beginning, would you accept me?
I...
Le Le!
My opponent is here.
What's wrong? Did something happen at the center?
Hold on. Wait.
Then why are you in such a hurry?
Le Le, no matter what just happened, no matter what you're thinking right now,
I've kept some words in my heart for a very long time.
I must tell you right now.
I love you.
I'm willing to use the rest of my life to take care of you.
Le Le, I know that I came a step too late,
but I still hope that you can choose again.
The decision is in your hands.
Me or him? Just say it.
I've prepared for everything.
♫ a question mark will always appear. ♫
♫ I don’t know if I should use the left or right side of my heart ♫
♫ to hold onto your love. ♫
♫ On my left is a sunny smile. ♫
♫ On my right is a sea of sorrow. ♫
Trainer Lü, you're much luckier.
What do you mean?
Don't lose your chance. Chase her!
Hurry up and go!
Le Le!
♫ Left or right? In the end, it’s hard to give both wholly. ♫
♫ Even if nostalgia is tied to both sides, ♫
Sir, here.
Thanks.
Go back first.
♫ Why has love been ripped in two by this space? ♫
Le Le!♫ The sediment a sigh leaves behind ♫
Le Le!♫ leads the way to the long night. Gradually, only lingering remains in helplessness. ♫
Now do you know what it feels like to be so close yet so far away?
You're so dumb.
Le Le, I won't waver anymore.
Just now, when I couldn't see you, I really felt so hopeless.
Actually, ever since I fell in love with you, I've been trying to find a chance to confess to you.
Originally, I thought that the heavens created all sorts of problems to prevent me for doing that,
but I realized only later that all the opportunities were in my own hands.
It's just that my lack of self-confidence held me back.
Until I almost lost you did I have the courage to confess to you.
I feel that you should treat Guo Liang to a meal.
Le Le, are you willing to be with me?
You wouldn't be some second generation young master from a large company acting like an idiot, would you?
No, I'm not. I'm definitely not.
Le Le, where are you going?
I'm going to work!
Come on.
Old man, I'm going back to Austria far, far away tomorrow.
Before, whether it was sunshine or rain, you took me everywhere.
Today, let me give you a ride.
That's not good. No one has ever treated me that way.
- You don't need to...- Old man, just have a seat.
This is my last chance. Just listen to me,
and have a seat. Don't be polite.
- That might not be good.- Here.
Where do you live?
That way.
- Over there? Let's go!- Yes.
Good!
I've finally be able to accomplish my missions today.
Now my mom should be satisfied.
Or else, she'll nag me all day. I'm almost going to run away from home.
I'm a little hungry.
I've been so busy today, it feels like I've been starving for days.
Did I let you work that hard? I didn't really let you chase me yet.
I'm just joking. Just joking.
I can't just let you go so easily.
I have to let you propose to me
in front of Liang Shuang and Pervert!
You only know how to bully honest people.
Alright, alright!
Mom. Mom? I'm back.
Coming. Coming.
Hello, Auntie.
Lü Cheng!
Mom, what good food did you make? It smells so good.
Lü Cheng, it's great that you could come!
I never thought... no. I did think.
Hurry up and sit down! I'm so happy.
Auntie, you made so much good food?
Look at how happy you are.
You're eating by yourself? Aren't you going to ask your dear one?
Hurry up and ask him?
Tell him to eat with us.
Then, let's eat together.
That's right, Auntie!
- Okay! Have a seat!- Let's eat together.
I'm so happy.
Do you like this?
I like it. I like it so much.
Eat this.
I learned how to make this from you.
Learned from me?
- Really?- See how it tastes.
Okay.
This is for you.
You eat some too.
Here. Braised pork.
These are all the dishes you taught me how to make.
I think you should buy a wedding invitation,
and then write Lü Cheng's name on it and give the invitation to that person.
In the future, no matter how Le Le explains it, that person won't agree to be with her anymore.
He must know he needs to back out, right?
I never got to use it.
Mom, what are you looking at?
Something good that I might not have to use it right now, but would definitely be able to use in the future.
Where's Lü Cheng?
He's making nutritious soup.
I forget to make soup.
In the future, when he comes over, you don't have to worry about things like this.
You might as well ask him to move in.
Mom!
I was the one who gave the advertising spots to the company. Is there a problem?
You're just causing trouble!
Director Jin, please be more courteous when you speak.
I can't be courteous to you.
Did you know? After this news got out, so many clients called me.
That's your problem. I'm only responsible for the advertisements.
More concretely, I'm responsible for advertisement sales.
Ai Xiao Fang, have you become obsessed with money?
If you do this, how do I respond to our old customers?
Then let me help you. I can give them more pages.
Old customers are also businessmen. Their nature is to reap benefits.
I think this is your nature.
What are you saying?
Alright. I don't want to waste more time talking to you.
I'm officially notifying you about a meeting at 3pm today. You're not allowed to be late!
Xie Feng, there's a meeting at 3pm today. That's it.
I've already told everyone about the situation with the advertisements.
Now, almost all our old clients are furious. It's now a reality.
Now, appeasing our old customers
and their relationship with us has highest priority.
Ai Xiao Fang suggested increasing the number of pages they receive. What does everyone think?
This method is only treating the symptoms, not the root of the problem.
That's right. Ai Xiao Fang,
explain to everyone. Why did you lease out our advertisement spots to the advertising company?
In order to increase advertisement sales.
Liang Shuang, what do you think?
Let me describe the objective truth.
I'm not targeting anyone in particular. Now,
most magazines have outsourced their advertisements to third party companies,
but Willing has always interacted directly with companies who want to advertise with us.
Moreover, our magazine deal with top trends.
They aren't advertising pamphlets.
If we do this, we will lose our old customers.
Even if we let new companies handle our advertisements,
it should start with a new fiscal year, and not necessarily right now.
Did everyone hear her clearly?
It's from the beginning of the fiscal year.
I think we should take our advertising spots from the advertising companies first.
Yes, we should.
Xiao Fang, I told you before.
You should discuss with Director Jin and the others first. Did you take my words to heart?
You're doing this on purpose.
Each and every one of you have come together to attack me.
You say that everything I do is wrong.
You're doing this on purpose!
I'll sue you guys!
- Is she crazy?- Crazy?
Even if she's crazy, she can't toy our business.
Subtitles by The Golden Age Team
It's too salty.
Liang Shuang,
where's Li Hao? Why haven't we seen him lately?
That's right. Why doesn't he come anymore?
He wants to come. I just don't have the time.
Look at you, child. You can let him come eat by himself.
When I'm not here, why would he come?
Really. Why are you so bad a socializing?
It's not like he doesn't have food to eat.
Plus, he has his own parents. You don't need to worry about him.
How can you say that? Mother-in-law caring for her son-in-law. What's wrong with that?
I didn't say I was going to marry him.
Look at this child. I'm telling you.
Even if you go out and look, you won't necessarily find anyone better than him.
- If you don't believe me, go and try. I'm warning you.- Alright.
If you have time, tell him to come and visit. We can eat and have a chat.
Alright. I got it.
I'm full. Take your time and eat.
I'll open the door.
Don't mention this stuff anymore.
Liang Shuang.
Why is it you?
Who is it? Let me see.
Hello, Auntie. Hello, Uncle.
Why are you here? You still have the face to come?
Go back. Eat.
There are still people like him? He has the face to come back?
You should go.
Give me two minutes. Just two minutes. I'll leave as soon as I finish talking.
If you have anything to say, let's talk outside.
I don't want my mom and dad to worry.
Our daughter left with him?
Don't interfere.
Don't worry. Our daughter will deal with it. Just eat.
I don't have the appetite anymore.
- Don't worry.- I don't have the appetite.
Liang Shuang, I know that you hate me.
You're thinking too much.
This time, I came back specifically to apologize to you.
I was wrong before. I hurt you,
and Uncle and Auntie's affections and trust towards me.
I feel that your apology is particularly excessive.
Ultimately, it has no concrete effect.
You're a businessman. You should know this very well.
Don't waste your time on useless efforts.
I'm already very happy that you can say so many things to me, even if it was scolding me.
Liang Shuang, when I was in America, I thought of you all the time.
Thinking about how you looked when you talked, about us.
I realized that this wasn't something I could forget
just by distancing myself or going someplace else.
I believe that you're the same. After all, we loved each other in the past.
You said that
I was a businessman, that I'm selfish and look out for my own benefits.
But in business lingo,
nothing makes me regret more than losing your love.
I believe that you know very well that I'm not a bad person,
or a liar. I just...
back then, I was momentarily confused.
I was sincere towards you.
How other people see me or say about me is not important.
I just hope
that I can gain your forgiveness. This isn't something that I can explain in a few words.
Please believe me.
You don't want to say even just one word to me?
Everything I've wanted to say to you,
I've already told you before.
No matter if you heard or remember them, it's all in the past.
I've forgotten all of them.
That's not possible. Don't lie to yourself. Love is hurtful.
Yes. You're right.
Love is hurtful.
Pain is also hurtful.
I've thought a lot these days.
I've realized what is most suitable for me.
Besides,
I've already started over.
You've already started over?
Yes. I've started over.
So no matter whether you appear or not, it won't affect me.
I also want to advise you to just let things in the past stay in the past.
Chasing after it and not letting go is quite tiring.
So,
I don't have a chance anymore, do I?
I'm sorry, I... didn't mean to hurt you.
I just want to hug you once more, to keep one final memory.
Take care.
You're giving me this? Are you trying to fool me? You think I'm stupid?
Chief Supervisor, they're almost going to fight inside.
- What's wrong?- The agreement
that woman signed with Boss Xie is already up.
I heard that she's going to be fired.
What agreement?
It's the ultimate agreement she signed with GM Xie.
If she can't double the advertising sales in a month, she has to resign. She can't be arrogant anymore.
We're happy to death. Some buddies heard that she's leaving and immediately reserved a table.
Do you have to do that?
It's so worth it.
Redo all of this. Get out.
What? You're not working? Slacking off?
No, no. One day you're not gone,
we don't dare to slack off for one day.
How can you talk to me like that? You have no manners.
Superiors aren't upright, subordinates are crooked too.
I'm so sorry.
On my way home last night, I got bitten by a rabid dog.
I got a rabies vaccine. It's effects are a little too strong, so I'm spouting nonsense right now.
But this has nothing to do with superiors not being upright and subordinates being crooked.
On the other hand, the rabid dog
might be more related.
Get out of here right now. You don't have to come to work in the future!
I don't think you're responsible for firing people.
I'm the representative of an investor. I can fire whomever I want.
Ai Xiao Fang!
You're upturning the office. What are you doing?
Old Xie, I'm lecturing them.
You don't need to anymore.
(Agreement signed by Ai Xiao Fang and Xie Feng)
So you want to force me to leave?
Every step that brought you to this point was your own decision.
No one forced you. You signed this agreement yourself too. Pen and paper.
According to the agreement, you have to leave now.
There's no such thing now.
I knew that you would do this, so the one you ripped up was a copy.
Good. That's great!
Han Le!
I'm sorry. I was impolite.
I just read a news article online.
A criminal, after taking down three people,
lost his footing and fell into the river. He got caught by authorities.
It was so amusing.
Okay. You're cruel. I won't let you win!
- Han Le.- GM Xie.
Call the security guards to pack up her things.
Okay.
You're also going to Willing?
Yes.
Why are you here?
Why are you guys here?
Don't you think it's amusing?
Yi Ping, why didn't you tell me that you came back?
I have nothing to do with you. Why do I have to tell you?
You went to find that woman again?
That also has nothing to do with you.
I won't talk to you about our relationship.
I want to know what else you can get from her.
Don't be too ridiculous. My tolerance has its limits.
Yi Ping!
- Move them there.- Okay.
Why are you moving my stuff?
GM Xie wanted me to tell you
to pack up your things and not come anymore.
Okay. Then we'll see who won't be coming back in the future.
A gift for you.
I bought it in America. I didn't give it to you yesterday.
It's okay. I think
I've already made it clear yesterday. There's no need for that.
I don't mean anything else.
You should go.
Don't come find me anymore.
You've already caused her a lot of pain.
So please don't bother her anymore. Can you stay away from her?
What do you mean? What is your relationship with her?
She's my girlfriend right now. Do you understand?
Let's go.
I know that you like her,
and that you want me to give up. However,
Liang Shuang and I have a past after all.
Also, you don't have the right to prevent me from seeing her.
Didn't you say too? You and her are a thing of the past.
Also, you were never serious about your relationship with Liang Shuang.
You aren't worthy of her at all.
Let's go.
Liang Shuang, what are you doing?
Li Hao scolds you for her,
she hits you for Li Hao. I just want to stand up for you.
You don't have any business here. Go do whatever you should be doing.
None of my business? You three want to push me out just like that? I won't leave.
I just like you, Fu Yi Ping. So what? I just don't want Li Hao and Liang Shuang be together. So what?
- Alright, don't say anymore!- I'm not done talking.
Don't think that having two men fight over you is a glorious thing.
You, Liang Shuang, are just a sly fox. Nothing good will happen to you!
- What are you doing?- Get out of here!
Don't mind her. Let's go.
Liang Shuang!
Li Hao!
- What's the matter?- Li Hao!
- Li Hao!- How did this happen?
- Are you okay?- You're bleeding!
- Quick! Let's go to the hospital!- Let's go.
Hurry up!
Are you crazy?
Subtitles by The Golden Age Team
- Hurry up! My car is over there.- Hang in there.
Hurry! It's right there.
Take it slowly.
Be careful.
- Can you do me a favor?- Hurry!
I need to close down my clinic for a couple of days. Can you put up a sign for me?
What should I say on the sign? That the doctor is sick and needs to take three days off?
That won't do. Just say that the doctor has good news.
- Alright, I got it.- Stop talking!
Hurry up!
Don't be so nervous. I'm not dead yet.
None of death! I won't allow you to say that word.
