Good Time
Episode 8
Told you to go upstairs, but you won't.
You're scared I'll swallow you?
Zhu Tao, are you afraid of me?
How funny.
How could a Beijing man be afraid of a Shanghai woman?
It is called being a gentleman, you know?
How can a gentleman enter a strange woman's room?
I'm a strange woman?
Gentleman my ass. You're just a coward.
That's fine, since you don't want to enter my door
I'm just going to put it out there.
Lend me some money.
Take it.
Zhu Tao, this part about you I like.
I'm afraid there's only one like you in this world.
When I say I need money,
you won't say anything and give me a big wallet.
Stop spending so much, I'm not your husband now.
Just praised you
This thing, money...
you need to spend more in order to get more. Get it?
Since you left me for a while, you met some unreliable people.
Could you just not?
In life, I must before I get old.
We divorced for almost 2 years.
How many people dumped you? Let the truth out.
Who would break up with me?
Even if we were to break up,
I would be the one to break up with them.
How about you?
Me? I know innocent girls, mature girls, and homebodies,
I can't even enjoy them all.
Do you think I don't know?
Stop pretending.
These past two years I didn't do much.
I just went to Beijing and opened a gallery.
The business wasn't going so well, so I sold it and came back.
Who told you to leave me? You deserved it.
I just want to count on myself and make a living,
but these past two years,
the art industry hasn't been that great.
I don't really understand it either.
Maybe when I'm old, I'll be single and alone.
You will take care of me, right?
You alone and single??
You live in this grand hotel.
You would be alone and single?
You know how I am. I never save money, I spend whatever I have.
Even if I'm as poor as ever,
I'd still have an expensive brand purse.
You're a classic charlatan..
Okay, I don't have time to chit-chat. I got to go.
You don't want to go upstair?
I gave you money, you pay for the bill. Bye.
- Mom Dad. -Xiaochun
Your dad, I can see people very well.
Yuan Hao is not bad. Very righteous, very nice.
Very passionate, very compose. If you marry him it's good.
We thought it through,
as long as you get married, we will sell the house for dowry.
I didn't think I'm going to get married this fast.
Plus, even if I get married you don't have to sell the house.
Where will you live?
Your mom and I will live in nursing home.
When you get married, we don't have much to give you.
This house will go to you.
Right, your dowry is little. Your in-law will mind.
Right.
Even if he minds I don't need to get the house.
Plus, I don't want to get married this quick.
What are you two doing?
You saw Yuan Hao once and you want to sell me.
Look at her.
But Xiaochun, don't blame my nagging.
Today when Yuan Hao said he'd take care of you like family,
how come this doesn't sound right to me.
Old woman, you are over thinking.
Once you marry, you're family.
Okay. You two stop worrying.
It is so late. Go to bed.
Tomorrow, I will take you both to the train station.
No Xiaochun, you can't delay marriage.
Your mom and I are waiting for that toast at your wedding.
Dad, Mom, please.
What? Why are you calling me?
Let me tell you, if you ever look for me again,
I won't go back to that place.
Changed password?
Let me tell you.
I let you take the money from my wallet, you took all of it.
How can you take my credit card too?
How come it isn't our wedding anniversary?
This woman, we already divorced two times for two years.
You know? Why do I need to remember that crappy day.
I only remember the day we divorced.
7/26, that day we left the city hall.
With the lighting and thunderstorm and rain,
I was soaked in water do you know?
When I got home I caught a cold.
This thing I will remember forever and hate you.
So sentimental,
You sound like a third-rate poet with your inner monologue.
Alright alright alright.
Return the cards back to me.
The further away you get the better.
How will I ever catch up to such a pro-lifer.
She took my money out?
She's ruthless.
Hey, you really swiped my card?!
Thanks for reminding me.
If I don't max swipe your card, you won't come find me.
Since I'm in Shanghai, my favorite thing
is to swipe max you
in any way I want.
Listen,
If you dare to swipe my card again,
I will call the cops, you believe me?
God, how did I get this kind of ex-wife.
You're still swiping.
Good morning.
General Manager Yuan, put your bag down first.
- What is it? - Come
What are you up to?
We just had a meeting
and Mr. Dai stopped your Prairie Project.
- What is the reason? - He feels it's profitable. Hey!
What's the hurry?
You out of Manager An's favor
just blame it on that Dai Senlin.
Can you bare it?
The shopping guides themselves are garment college.
Alright, if you accept we can sign the contract tomorrow.
Sign with me hahaha.
I am the General Manager here.
Thank you. See you later.
Is there something wrong?
Why did you cancel the Prairie Project?
Not only is it too idealistic,
but obviously will lose money.
If you want self recognition
to be silent is to do the public service,
not to use the company to gain personal fame.
Dai Senlin, let's be clear. I am not like you.
I put the interest of the company first.
The profit of this project is limited,
but we can't only think about that.
We should allow more young people into the vast grassland.
Change their attitude on life,
raise their environmental awareness.
That's enough!
I am now the General Manager.
I don't need you to give me a lesson.
I am here to make money for the company.
If you don't like it you can leave.
Very nice.
If I leave the company now, isn't that a waste?
You are not thinking of resigning are you?
Take me with you.
What is it to you if I resign or not?
I just like to close my eyes and follow your behind.
Luo Yiyang, are you interested in me?
You always inquire about me. What are you trying to do?
I am a damn special person who likes to gossip.
Why don't you become a paparazzi?
I'm too handsome to be a paparazzi.
I want to go with you to represent a kind of standpoint.
I am your trustworthy brother.
Count it as our fate.
I am current the company outcast.
Your show of loyalty is not at the right time.
I'm not a snob.
You will see through my heart later.
I understand. Go back to work.
Are you busy?
Can I bother you for a few minutes?
No.
- It will be fast. - Get out.
I can't talk to you in the corridor.
Let's talk on the roof.
I'll tell you good news.
The hospital rated you outstanding
and one of the candidates for out-of-state training.
I'll vote for you.
Thanks for telling me this news.
I'll rely on my skills and don't need your help.
I know you have the skills but I decided to vote for you.
Is this the reason you want to see me?
I want to give you back this thing.
This thing doesn't mean anything to me.
If you afraid your little girlfriend sees it,
then you can throw it away.
But this means a lot to me. I can't bare to throw it away.
Who told you she's my little girlfriend?
I am not blind.
The reason I told you to come up here
is because I shouldn't have slap you.
I apology for what I did.
I deserved it.
I didn't take it to heart. It's already in the past.
You think it's in the past, but I can't get past it.
Then how can you get past it?
Let go. Are you so reluctant to let go of each other?
How come you're here?
If I didn't come,
then I wouldn't be able to see such an interesting moment.
Mao Xiaochun, I'm already with Zeng Jian,
Clean that dirty mouth of yours.
As you're young and ignorant,
I won't lower myself to your level.
But let me tell you, from now on
you better watch yourself.
Hey! Chun!
Let me see.
It's normal and perfectly fine.
So many memories,
no wonder you are still connected.
Are you done? Give it back.
You already broke up with her. Why do you still want her?
What do you exactly want?
What do I want to do? I'm helping you throw the trash away!
Are you a fool? She slapped you in front of all those people!
You still care about her. Are you sorry for me?
I am sorry to you but
you lied to me too, you aren't even pregnant.
I'm not pregnant, but I just wanted to keep our relationship.
There's no way, just stop clinging onto me.
But everyone knows we are dating.
That's what you think.
I don't love you. The person I love is Mao Xiaochun.
Because of you I lost her, so stop hurting her.
Okay, let's go down now
and let the whole hospital know
how you were dating her but slept with me.
Are you threatening me right now?
That's because I love you.
If this thing gets out,
it's still a scandal.
Okay
Do whatever you want
but stop hurting someone else.
Remember this, we can never be together.
Hey, why did you come over?
Please come in.
What do you mean why did I come over?
Don't have to work?
There's nothing much so I got off early.
What is it?
I'm replying to my company's email.
Quickly, after you're done come home with me to eat dinner.
What?
Come eat with my dad.
Now you think about me?
I thought you forgot about me
when another woman was caring for your dad
Here you go again. What I told you the other day had no point.
I'm just teasing.
Actually I want to eat together and invite Doctor Mao.
First, to thank her for doing surgery on your dad.
Secondly, to clear up the misunderstandings
between me and her.
I don't know if she told you yet, but
a while back, we fought over a gown.
So you both were fighting over that?
Who was stealing it? It was her who was taking it from me.
Oh okay I'm wrong it wasn't you but her.
Hurry up and finish.
Okay almost.
Mister Yuan, do you need to say something?
It's written all over your face.
There's something I need to talk to you about.
Oh? It sounds like something serious.
This is very embarrassing.
You know, yesterday is was such a coincidence
and I met Doctor Mao and her parents.
Her parents came all the way here.
Doctor Mao just broke up..
She didn't want to make her parents worry.
So she forced me to go pretend to be her boyfriend.
I had no choice.
So you're saying, you were her black knight?
I was forced!
You say you were forced,
but did she actually take you as her black knight?
No way! If she really took me that way, would I allow it?
On top of that, I wouldn't tell you if I had a thing for her
That makes sense.
Alright, you are very honest.
You know I look at being honest as more important than a life.
Since you're conscious of your stupidity,
I won't ask further more about this.
But, you two, I hope in the future, can keep a distance ok?
Ok.
Okay, let me change. Be right back.
You're not going to finish it?
I'll finish it when I come back.
Uncle, this dinner is too delicious.
Can you imagine how many years
I haven't eaten such good food.
This is all what Aunt made.
I told her you don't eat meat, so she made some vegan dishes.
Actually I should have invited your mom over.
Uncle, my mom is super busy.
She keeps meeting up with all her old friends.
Today she goes for tea, tomorrow she goes to play chess.
Is there even proper afternoon tea here?
She can drink it.
And the chess room,
the environment is so dirty, yet she still stays.
I really don't get it.
Maybe you were too lonely abroad.
Uncle, it's not like what you think.
It's really lively overseas.
And, it's really suitable for older people.
Uncle, are your eyes better?
They're so much better than before. Thanks, Shanshan.
Then, after a few days,
you could come overseas with us?
Yuan Hao, has Uncle's passport been done?
In a few days, we'll have to apply for the visa.
Let's talk about it after my dad's condition is more stable.
What happens if something goes wrong in the United States?
It would be very inconvenient.
Shanshan, don't worry. I definitely will not burden you two.
Okay.
Come in.
There's so much more stuff!
When we were in college, it was just a few small things.
Now ten years later,
so many things are here!
Yuan Hao, you have a great eye and great style.
I finally get to hear you praise me.
For the past ten years I've been oblivious to other women
so I tinkered with this stuff.
Of course, I wasn't even by your side.
You didn't see your bed?
Now I know why you don't want to go to the United States
because you treasure these too much and can't leave it.
Why do you relate everything to the United States?
It's okay, if you can't leave it.
Let's pack all of this and move to the United States.
Yuan Hao, I like this one can you give it to me?
You are good at choosing, giving it to you is no problem.
But do you have energy and time
to even keep it in good condition?
Aren't you there too?
My English isn't good. Why would I go to the United States?
That's why you must immediately go to the United States.
You can pick it up there.
How come I never noticed you're so good with your words?
People can change in different environments,
do you understand?
Alright, you win.
Then what's my prize?
Wait.
What is it? That you're so secretive about it?
Does this word still mean anything to you?
C-o-b-h
What does it mean?
Ten years has really been too long.
Even your favorite movie you forgot about.
Back then you watched it so many times.
Every time you watched it, you cried.
Oh my.
This is Cobh Town, Ireland.
It was the last port that the Titanic docked at.
I remember you said
when there was an opportunity,
you must go there to take a look.
You didn't buy it there did you?
I used work as an excuse to go visit Cobh.
But you weren't here.
So I had to bring something back.
You going there yourself doesn't count.
Let's go together again.
Do you have time?
You waited for me 10 years.
From now on,
I'll dedicate all my time to you.
Let's not stay at home tonight.
I'm tired.
Let me go take a shower first.
You must.
Then do you want to shower?
You go first.
What is it? What is it?
My ring fell in there.
What?! Your ring? What's gotten into you??
How could you drop your ring in here??
Since I was going to shower, I took off my watch and
the ring just slipped off my finger.
Then what do we do now?
Don't worry, I'll call for help.
Yes.
Yes Room 301, thank you.
I called them, they're coming over immediately.
So what if they come immediately?
This is our marriage ring!
If lost, it loses its meaning!
Do you really not want to get married to me?
Shanshan, don't think that,
and don't fight with me right now.
When we find the ring, let's talk then alright?
Who can guarantee that it'll be found?
What if they can't find it?
If I say they can find it, then they definitely will.
Even if they can't find it, I'll buy another one, alright?
Buy another one?
How can you say that so easily?
I came back from US and even bought marriage rings.
You said it was too big.
I immediately bought another pair.
And you lost it?!
Yuan Hao, what on earth do you want?
Ever since I came back and mentioned marriage to you,
you've been completely unenthusiastic about it.
I had to take the initiative to announce our marriage,
and today you even lost the ring!
I really feel like you're doing this on purpose.
Shanshan, what you're saying is pointless.
Right now you're attacking my morals.
Even if I didn't want to marry you,
I wouldn't purposely lose the ring.
You are doing this on purpose,
because you don't even want to marry me!
If you really cared about our relationship,
how could you pretend to be Mao Xiaochun's boyfriend,
yet not take the initiative to buy rings for us?
If you really cared about me,
how could you lose something I gave you so easily?
Why are you mentioning Mao Xiaochun?
It's just a lost ring,
do you really have to degrade me like this?
So in the end it's still my fault.
Yuan Hao, how could you change so much in ten years?
Let me tell you, if you can't find the ring,
we're not getting married.
Fine.
What did you say?
So that's how it is.
You finally say out what you really think,
is that right?
Then I have nothing more to say.
There's a problem the plumbing below the fourth floor.
Previous guests have also had this problem before.
None of them could find their items back.
This happened because you were not careful.
So you're not willing to take the responsibility.
I understand how you fell,
but we can't take responsibility for this.
Because the water pipes head straight down
into the water waste, how can I find it for you?
Is it possible my ring didn't fall into the city's sewer pipes,
and got stuck in the first or second floor pipes?
It's not impossible.
Fine. I'll pay for rooms 201 and 101 and search them, alright?
There's a guest staying in 201 right now,
how can I make him leave?
More so, at this hour all the engineers are off work.
You don't have to worry about that, I'll hire someone else.
Can you go with me to the second floor
and discuss with the guest?
Ok, I'll go with you.
What's happened?
Excuse me, could you..?
My sincere apology to bother you. I stay upstairs.
I lost my wedding ring just now when I was washing hands.
and it's a possibility that's in part of your bathroom.
The wedding ring was paid by fiance and it means a lot to me.
If you don't mind
I would wish the hotel maintenance to search for it.
Ah... no problem. Sort to say it's always to say
there's a pretty woman behind the wedding ring.
I really understand it. As for me I also just got married
so I wish I can help you.
Thank you very much. Thank you... thank you.
You're back.
Shanshan,
what happened?
Nothing.
I am your mom. I can tell that something happened.
What is it? Are you angry at Yuan Hao again?
I don't want to talk about it.
Shanshan, tell me if something is bothering you.
I will help you.
Yuan Hao threw my wedding ring I got him
down the hotel pipes.
You guys were at a hotel?
Originally the mood was good, but he ruined it!
It's unfortunate that the ring was lost.
It's auspicious.
I told him that the wedding is off if he can't find the ring.
He actually said fine that the wedding is off.
How can that be?
You put the ring on him in front of so many people.
He can't not get married.
Mom let me tell you.
Yuan Hao is not the person I used to know anymore.
I am afraid I am not the Shanshan that he knew either.
It's been ten years. The world has changed!
Why can't a person not change?
Where is he now?
He said he's looking for the ring,
but really doesn't want to marry me!
It's over.
Mom what are you doing?
I left something at my friend's house.
I'll be back in a moment.
- Have you found it? - Yes
I am sorry to trouble you tonight.
- Ok no problem - Thank you very much.
- Ok - Good night
Old Yuan, this time I came without notice.
I am sorry.
We're about to be family. Fire away.
It's about Yuan Hao and Shanshan's situation.
When you were at the hospital, I couldn't tell you.
We've come back from US for so long.
How should I say about their wedding?
You don't think that Shanshan can't be married out?
The wedding keeps prolonging and I feel that
we are being taken advantage of.
What you just said is a bit too much.
Shanshan is a good lady.
We...
That night Shanshan had dinner at our house,
afterwards she and Yuan Hao
left here very happy. I don't know
where you get these idea from?
You don't know what happened after that?
Your Yuan Hao
lost the wedding ring that Shanshan gave him.
Just blame our Shanshan,
she is too honest and polite...
too considerate of Yuan Hao.
She kept all her hardships to herself.
Old Yuan you must give me some good news today.
Is the wedding on or off?
I never said the wedding is off.
Tonight at dinner,
Shanshan was asking about my passport's situation.
I declared it, didn't I?
But the wedding is between our kids,
at the end it's their decision.
The problem is not with you, but with Yuan Hao.
You are his father.
You are responsible for persuading him
to give Shanshan a response.
If he agrees to marry then the wedding must hurry.
Let's stop playing around.
Mom, you're back?
It's me.
The door is not locked.
Why are you here?
Don't be upset,
I found the ring.
Don't you find things found in the pipe are dirty?
You don't to know how I got the ring back?
You don't ask who I am writing to?
What are you writing about?
I am writing a letter to my lawyer. I want to sue the hotel.
Take your time and read it.
The ring is found. Why are you suing the hotel?
It is the responsibility of the hotel to search the lost ring.
The sink drain is not properly designed,
and that's what caused the item to fall.
Even though the ring was found
the hotel needs to apology to us.
It's my fault that I dropped the ring into the sink.
It has nothing to do with the hotel.
Yuan Hao, whose side are you on?
If we were in the United States, they would be dead.
Ok, I understand that this is China,
so I am already telling the lawyer to go easy on them.
I only want an apology, not compensation.
But to find the ring I already spent
so much effort and the hotel also helped.
Hotel maintenance already left work.
I went to find a plumber.
- They didn't have an issue. - What did you say?
- You hired a plumber yourself? - Yes.
- Who paid? - Of course I paid.
Are you alright?
I need to add another thing for the lawyer.
The hotel must reimburse all expenses.
No, Shanshan.
Shanshan, I thought you'd be happy
when I found the ring,
but I never thought you'd turn a small matter
into something big.
Here's the difference between our philosophy.
When I run into a situation, my first thought is
legal matters and then solve it privately.
You think that's ok after the item is found,
but I feel that
the hotel should be responsible.
What if another customer runs into the same situation?
What I am doing is because of public morals.
We can't be selfish.
I put effort
in finding your ring
because I felt that it meant a lot to me.
You on the other hand put a lot of effort into suing the hotel.
I don't think what you are doing
has anything to do with us or has any significance to us.
This is called having legal awareness,
because it's not something that we should deal with.
The lawyer can deal with it.
I don't know where the ring will by the time the lawyer came.
I found the ring and my task was completed.
I suggest you delete this email.
