Episode 18
Auntie, you should try to get well first and wait for the results.
No, I am telling you. I have no problems.
He will give me problems even if I didn't have problems before. I am not doing it. I am going home.
I am doing fine. Why would I need to do any of these? Where are my stuffs?
Auntie, do you still feel dizzy?
Are your ears still hearing noises?
You see I am feeling dizzy again.
Let me tell you the dizziness comes in waves.
And I am hearing things now.
I am hearing sounds now.
Ok. We will have the examination.
Just like coming to the hospital to perform a health check.
Nin Ba La.
Can you help auntie with the blanket?
You can leave after you are done.
Auntie, there aren't enough nurse aids in the hospital lately.
I will help take care of all your daily routines including meals and bathroom visits.
You don't need to be concerned about this.
Just think of me as Ge Ge and rest well to take care of your ailment.
Ge Ge, I was the only one sleeping in the dorm last night.
I...I suddenly heard a noise in the middle of the night.
Then I woke up to find out that there is a big rat in our dorm.
We have a rat in the dorm.
I was thinking then
if Ge Ge were here, those rats would not dare come out.
Ge Ge,
I already told Zhang Sheng that we can only be colleagues.
What did you say to him again?
Song Nuan, let's go outside to check what might be missing from the move.
Were you laughing at me behind my back again?
Song Nuan, don't you think that I have humiliated myself enough?
I beg you to let me go and not to mention me in front of Zhang Sheng.
It would be best if you also disappear from my face as well.
Ge Ge, I didn't say anything.
Enough, I don't want to listen to you any more.
- Thank you.- She is not in a good mood these couple of days.
You see, her confession was rejected and her mother was dismissed from work.
Don't try to talk to her. You will only be turned away.
Regarding to love, Ge Ge and I are both losers.
Only you and the Zhang guy are victors.
Hsiao Chuan,
This feeling of failure
you cannot know how it feels.
What I experienced it in the past
you guys cannot understand either.
When Zhang Sheng treated me like an enemy, you were my friends.
Now he only unilaterally declared his interest in me, you are now treating me like an enemy.
None of you ever asked me what I feel.
In your hearts you only cared about Zhang Sheng.
Whatever decision he makes, Ge Ge cares. If Ge Ge cares, then you care as well.
I cannot accept your complaints
but I will still treat Ge Ge as my friend.
then continue to do things I am supposed to do.
No, Song Nuan. You really don't need to think too much.
In fact...
Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen.
Now because of Zhou Ge Ge, Zhao Hsiao Chuan has broken up our friendship with me.
I did not realize things are so complicated between you girls,
with so much impact to you all.
You tell me what I can do to repair the friendship between you two.
If I can do it, I will definitely do it.
I don't need you to do anything. I only wish that you will stop bothering me.
This is not the right attitude to solve the problem.

Chen Ai Lian, what happened to you? Nin Ba La, what did you do to my mother?
No, Ge Ge. Why are you here?
Nin Ba La, didn't I tell you not to ask her to come?
That, Ge Ge. Mom is fine. No problem.
How can you be fine if you are hospitalized?
Don't worry. I am here now.
Take it easy. She can't do anything to you. Don't worry.
Ge Ge,
I come with you.
Nin Ba La, did you do this intentionally?
You know that she is my mother but you would not cut her any slack. What are you trying to do?
All my roommates are pushing me around. Now even you...
you want to push me around too, right?
Gao Wen Ruo Han, Song Nuan, you,
You all are treating me like an eye sore.
Ge Ge, I have nothing personal against you.
I am only working.
But my mother, she is already lying on the hospital bed.
You'd better look out for I will suit you all.
So far the doctors have not identify any problem.
My guess, is that Auntie is just having problem accepting the fact of work dismissal.
Ba La,
I was too emotional a while ago.
Please consider that we were classmates in college,
I am begging you.
Please let go of my mother, ok?
Ge Ge, you also have the experience of working in a company.
How can you say something like this?
I let go of you,
then who is going to let go of me?
Your mother has been spreading the word that you and Zhang Sheng will get married.
Tell you the truth - right now the chairman is furious.
I am just a lowly intern. I can't change anything.
If it is not me today,
there would have been another person here to do the same thing.
Enough, enough. Don't say any more. No more.
I just want to ask you one thing.
My mother, is it certain that she does not have any problem?
Certain. If you are still worried, you can check with the doctor.
Bed Number 12, do you feel any discomfort today?
Dizzy.
Dizziness can be caused by many factors, not necessarily because of problems with the organs.
Let's have an more in-depth examination.
Chen Ai Lian, it's fine. There won't be any problem.
Are these your two daughters?
You are quite blessed. It is getting rarer to have daughters who will take care of their parents nowadays.
For this reason alone, you should get well soon and be discharged from the hospital, right?
The young kids have a lot things to deal with themselves.
Wish you recover soon.
Let me do it.
Why? You are not even her daughter.
This is my work.
Nin Ba La, I am begging you.
Please don't hang around here.
My mother, lying here, feels troubled every time she sees you.
Ok. I understand your situation.
You are doing this because you don't have a choice,
but can you not be so overbearing?
Can you not wait until she is discharged before talking to here about work?
But if I leave, it will be very difficult to find your mother again.
Are you not human?
For this lousy job, is there no limit to what you would do?
Don't have any principle as a human being?
That is right.
Correct.
Because I can make money through work.
With money,
Only I can feed my family.
Classmate,
are you trying to play tragic role in front of me?
It is my mother who is in the hospital.
You want to compare how miserable we are? I am the most miserable person in the world.
I will just wash the dishes.
Why can't we interns do something useful?
Office supplies? Can't the admin group take care of it?
Shouldn't interns do things like this?
It's true the situation with us interns is pretty messy.
One likes another but another does not like one other.
If you ask me, you book worm should not try to get into the middle of the mess.
In the past, you were trying so hard but still did not get any reaction.
It's even more so now.
I believe that Zhou Ge Ge will understand one day.
You are not a real fool, aren't you?
Do you really think this is a competition between your and Zhang Sheng?
Let me tell. This is about how much money you have.
What kind of person do you think Zhou Ge Ge is?
Why didn't she like anyone else but Zhang Sheng?
Think about it, you.
Bed number 18. We got the exam results. You don't have any problem.
Then why do I continue to feel a little dizzy?
- And also hearing noises in my ear.- If so, you need to go to the Neurology to check.
From our perspective, you may be discharged.
No, Doctor, I can't get off the bed.
We are also limited in the number of available beds.
There are lots of patients with conditions more serious than you are still waiting for beds.
Patient relative, please come with me to process the paperwork for discharge.
No, doctor. I cannot be discharged.
It's not like I am not paying for the fees.
I am paying you. What can't I stay?
This is a hospital, not a hotel.
You can't stay here just because you have money.
This is not up to you. Your words don't count on this.
No, Doctor, I cannot be discharged. I am really sick.
Auntie, since your health is fine,
the company will pay for all the expenses.
Then,
I formally announce
Cheng Ai Lian, the Feng Hua Group is terminating the work contract with you beginning today.
And the company believes that even after your departure from Feng Hua, you will succeed in your future endeavor.
Nin Ba La, are you saying things as a human?
At auntie's age,
talk about future endeavor?
How can you be so cold-hearted?
I have sacrificed all my youth,
you can just discard me aside without any thoughts.
What do you think I am? A used mopping cloth?
Just toss away anytime you want.
Mom, it's ok.
How am I going to live?
You are just bullying us widow and orphan.
You are capitalist exploiting us.
You are even worse than "Mom" (a fictional character who portrayed an exploitive land owner).
I will go to the office for the out-processing.
Cheng Ai Lian.
They said they don't want me
then they just get rid of me. They see that I am old now and don't want me any more.
Where will mom go to find a job in the future?
Don't cry. It will be fine.
Cheng Ai Lian. As long as...
I work hard
I will work hard
even if I don't find someone rich,
we won't starve to death.
Don't cry. Don't cry.
This is how they treat me.
They are really...no matter how I try to dodge it.
I won't leave the hospital. I won't leave the hospital.
I am lying down.
lie down, lie down.
Stop crying.
Hello, Song Nuan.
This is Ba La.
Ba La.
Here, ¥550. Take it.
You are giving me all of it. Then you
Don't worry about me. My parents are in Shanghai. I can ask them for help.
The timing is just right. I happen to have this money.
Then I will pay you back as soon as I can.
No rush. No rush.
During the entire 4 years in college, you never asked me for money.
When you asked this time, I know you need it for something.
But are you sure that you don't want to tell me what happened?
Thank you Song Nuan.
Song Nuan.
I was the one who fired Zhou Ge Ge's mother Cheng Ai Lian,
but Song Nuan, you remember this,
You must remember that I am not a bad person. You got to believe me that I am not a bad person.
I know. You must take care of yourself.
You must take care of yourself.
Let go.
This is the last deadline but you still try to stay.
- Go away.- Mr. Landlord.
- Mr. Landlord.- Go, go.
- The sooner you go, the better.- Let's talk about this.
We will pay you the rent soon.
What is there to say?
What is this? Let go.
Here is your money.
Pretty tough for someone so poor.
Get a grip.
Mom, this way.
You eat. I will wash the diapers.
Girl, you have some too.
Mom, you eat. I already ate.
Girls in other families at this age
all are enjoying their life and looking for boyfriends.
Only you are burdened by mother.
Mom, you have suffered much to help me get through college.
You are not feeling well right now.
I only want to cure your sickness.
Girl, I am feeling much better.
You buy me a ticket. It is expensive to live in the city.
Mom, you just live here without worries.
Don't think too much. It's not good for your health.
Drink some water.
It has been several hours since you came through the door.
You are not saying anything.
Don't do this.
I know you feel bad,
but look at how you are right now.
It's not like you.
I was a fool, such a fool. No wonder they want to get rid of me.
I am useless, really useless.
You, what happened to you?
Please don't be anxious, ok?
How can I not feel anxious?
I lost my job. How am I going to support the family?
The Bald Head's wife can open an online store on the Internet.
At least she can take care of herself.
Me? After all these,
I can't do anything.
I am a waste.
Cheng Ai Lian, who said you are a waste?
What happened to all your normal bravado?
Now you run into this minor difficulty, small challenge, and you can't handle it.
What is wrong with you?
Just about opening a store?
I can teach you.
Just learn it.
See. To open an online store, just go to TMall.com.
It has the SOP to open a store.
See, selling facial tissues.
Daughter,
Dad.
I was upstairs,
and saw you stand here by yourself.
It hurts me to see this and come down here to keep you company.
It's fine, dad. I am just standing here for a little bit.
Nuan, if you have something in your heart, you should talk it out.
It will make you feel better.
Dad, Nin Ba La just came to see me.
I learned that she is the one who fired Zhou Ge Ge's mother.
Really?
Then Cheng Ai Lian must be feeling really down.
Dad can sympathize with this feeling.
So Ge Ge must be feeling down as well.
Then it will be even harder for me to make up with her.
You care about Ge Ge.
I care, of course I care.
If you care, you should visit her. You need to let her understand
how much you care about her. Use your own method to clear the misunderstanding.
Dad, you are the one who understands me.
Of course.
Ge Ge must be feeling down right now.
I should better empathize with what she is going through.
Not a problem. If she does not want to see me,
then I just have to be persistent.
Right?

What kind of crap is this!
Ge Ge, have you packed up yet?
- Still working on it.- Hurry up.
That lousy dorm, you should have left long time ago.
Ok. I understand. I won't talk with you.
Ge Ge, did you see the thing I hang over there?
You ask me?
Did you see it?
I saw it.
Just an ugly cloth. I threw it away.
Threw it away?
Where did you throw it away?
Trash should go to the trash can. Where else?
Just some useless cloth, why are you so worried?
Zhou Ge Ge, you have crossed the line.
- What you know what this is?- What is it?
You said that I crossed the line. I have not even talked to you about my mother yet.
You said I crossed the line. Are you sick?
I already explained about your mother.
Whether you accept it, I have done the best I could.
If you are mad, just dump it on me, but you should not throw away my stuffs.
You are such a low class.
This is a low class dorm.
I am telling you. You are all so ungrateful and disloyal.
- You forget how well I treated you before?- Don't touch me.
I am going to touch you. I touch you. So what?
Are you feeling guilty? I am telling you. You fired my mother.
Ok. That is fine but do you know how miserable you have made us?
Do you know? You also did the same to Uncle Bald Head.
You'd better watch out for him in the middle of the night.
I am warning not to spread these false words.
You are warning me. Ok. I am warning you, Ba La.
Don't take things too far.
My mother,
she lost her job.
It's fine.
Your mother,
I don't know.
You hit me.
You hit me, right?
Don't force me, you.
You hit me.
Hit.
Seems that your clothes are still in their right place.
You were not assaulted.
I want to drink.
Go with me to have a drink.
Didn't have enough last time?
Aren't you always happy when I ask you to have a drink?
What does that mean?
This is my schedule. In another two minutes, I will have my lymphatic massage.
- So?-Therefore,
Next time.
Zhao Xiao Chuan.
Is your lousy schedule or me more important?
Ok.
Let's go.
Why is everyone doing this to me?
Why everyone is against me?
What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong? You tell me.
I know.
Did I just disappear?
If I disappear, or die, then they will be happy.
Is that right? Is that it? Tell me.
Actually
Sometimes I am rather envious of them.
No matter whether you love them, or hate them,
they are in your thoughts.
I am sitting in front of you
but you have never looked at me.
What are you doing?
Zhao Hsiao Chuan, what are you doing?
I asked you to come to console me. Why are you acting like you are feeling more miserable than I?
Ok. You want to drink, right? I'll do it with you.
Can't get drunk even after a thousand rounds, right?
- You can drink, right? If you drink yourself to death, I...- You shut up!
Shut up?
You ask me to shut up?
Zhao Hsiao Chuan, you are here to console me.
I didn't ask you to come here to scold me. I had enough!
Zhou Ge Ge, Ms. Zhou.
I have suppressed a few things inside for a long time.
You said that you like Zhang Sheng. This is not a problem.
Everyone has the right to like anyone she wants,
but you tell me
do you really like Zhang Sheng because of him as a person?
Or it's because of his background,
his family, his money?
Or his super cool Lamborghini?
Zhao Hsiao Chuan,
Did you drink too much?
I drank just right.
If I did not drink this much,
I could not have said these words.
Now that I have said these words, I am feeling for you embarrassed,
humiliated.

Thank you. Hope to see you next time.
How are you? The check.
Please let the person in there stay as long as she wants.
Don't rush her and don't disturb her.
Of course.
It's in total ¥855.
I'd like to reserve this car for today.
Reserve? For how much?
A girl will come out of there in a while.
Please wait for her here.
- And take her home safely.- No problem.
What does the girl look like?
She is pretty,
and crying very hard.
Every since a child, Ge Ge has always been a beauty.
Now that she is all grown up, she is even more beautiful.
Let mom introduce you here.
This is auntie Mei Yu's son. His name is Kang Kang.
At the Jia Valley in the U.S.,
Silicon, Silicon.
Oh! works at the Silicon Valley.
He is smart and very accomplished. Come. Let's get to know each other.
- Mei Yu, come sit over here.- Ok.
That, Ge Ge. Sit over there.
Just sit here, sit here.
Kang Kang, right?
How much do you make a month?
Asking how much you make a month.
Our Kang Kang...
Very simple. He can get shy in front of the girl.
He makes US$5,000 a month,
and his boss is in the process of increasing his salary.
Oh, US$5,000!
5 times 6 is 30. That is ¥30,000.
In Shanghai, that is really the top tier in salary.
That is true.
Kang Kang. Do you still drink milk every night?
What does that mean?
What does it mean?
What I mean is that your son does not seem to have grown up yet.
You should find him a babysitter,
or a nanny. Don't bring him out to endanger us little girls.
Cheng Ai Lian. You are the one who begged me to come here.
Look at it, look at it. What kind of attitude does your daughter have here?
- Our Kang Kang...- Mei Yu
This time he returns from overseas. His schedule is completely full to find a companion.
- Not that. Mei Yu.- I had to squeeze out some time to come to your house.
Did you get confused?
- Kang Kang. Let's go.- Mei Yu.
Not. Mei Yu. Let me tell you. It's a misunderstanding.
What misunderstanding!
With the way she is, your daughter will never find a husband.
I won't be your son's nanny even if I can't get married.
Can you stop it? Mei Yu.
- You sit down.- Who do you think you are?!
Kang Kang. We are leaving.
Mom.
What is it? Here, here.
Look at you. Ok.
Good kid. I will find a good one for you tomorrow.
Go. We will never come back here.
What are you doing?
Did your brain go bad? Did water get into your brain?
Your crazy thing!
I am telling you, little girl. If you can't get married, others will talk about it behind your back.
Don't you know that?
You think you are really young at 23, right?
What if you can't get married for another two year?
You will become a Leftover woman.
Aren't you feeling too arrogant for your own good?
Are you my mother or not?
I am tired from working under the pressure from the company every day.
Please don't make it worse for me, ok?
You call that work?
Is that really working? Only ¥600 a month. Who can you support?
Ok. If you don't want to come back, then don' ever come back.
I don't want to see you.
My goodness.
I am done. Cheng Ai Lian is right.
Why are they so expensive?
You don't know it yet? Ge Ge is house hunting because her mom is forcing her to go on dates.
Ok. Thank you.
