[Refresh Man]
Episode 8
I'd like to sign a contract with you.
- Thank you for trusting us. - You should thank your own hard work.
Someone else is also very confident in you.
Auntie Ping must have meant you when she said "someone".
Thank you, Zi Yu.
Kelvin, I'm sure you know how you feel.
Do you like Yu Tang?
- You look like husband and wife. - Husband and wife?
The two of you will definitely kiss within one month.
Why did I have a dream like that?
Do you have the supplier information that I asked for?
Here you go.
Here's the Yours sales contract but it has a condition.
We must achieve our sales target within three months.
I want to use the Yours contract as an excuse
to ask the CEO for a budget for a new packaging and promotion campaign.
You'll have to figure it out yourselves.
I've got some supplier information for you.
Do you always lean in so close when you talk to someone?
I didn't mean it this time.
I'd better get back to work. Thank you, CEO.
I thought you'd be too old to play with blocks.
I didn't mean it this time? What was I thinking?
This time?
Why did he say "this time"?
What about before?
Let's start a new relationship.
Now you're the soldier and I'm your commander.
So you must listen to me.
Stop daydreaming.
Work comes first.
[Wanni Biotechnology]
"According to the Chinese Medicine Compendium"
"egg shell membrane is very effective in the healing of wounds."
"Egg shell membrane is rich in soluble protein"
"which helps stimulate the growth of collagen."
Collagen?
That's it.
Xin Wei?
Hi, Zi Yu, it's Yu Tang.
Do you have time for afternoon tea today?
I'm a bit busy today, can we make it tonight?
Sure, you want to have dinner together?
Okay.
I'll send you the address later. See you tonight.
Okay, bye.
That's great.
This should give us a new direction.
I forgot I have to go and clean Ji Wen Kai's house tonight.
[Tian Xi Group]
Sorry, something suddenly came up.
Can I go and clean your house tomorrow instead?
Something suddenly came up?
Like what?
Thank you. Thank you.
I'm sorry.
I know you're really busy but I still asked you out for dinner.
As I said, I'm here to help whenever you need me.
Then I'll get straight to the point.
What did you want to discuss with us when you came to see Sales Team C last time?
Egg shell membrane.
In addition to the existing rejuvenating egg shell membrane mask
Xin Wei is also planning on developing a new high-end skincare product
that also contains egg shell membrane.
I thought so.
What if we combine egg shell membrane
with Mei Mei?
Do you think Xin Wei would be willing to do that?
Combining egg shell membrane with Mei Mei?
I've been doing a bit of research on egg shell membrane.
Not only can it smooth out wrinkles
but it can also improve the skin's tolerance.
So I think it'll be a very suitable match for Mei Mei.
I've never thought about that, but it might actually be possible.
Okay, I'll ask them to start on it when I get back to the office.
Zi Yu, you've already helped me too much.
So perhaps you can just introduce me to the appropriate contact at Xin Wei.
That's not a problem.
But how does your CEO feel about this?
Because when I said I wanted to work with Sales Team C
he said he already had other plans for your team.
I'll propose it to him again.
If it sounds good then I'm sure he'll approve it.
Okay, I'll look forward to your good news.
Okay.
- So can we order now? - Sure, I'm sorry.
I was too busy talking about work.
That's okay.
- What a coincidence. - It must be fate.
- Long time no see. - It's been a while.
Let's sit down.
Thank you.
Would you like to order now?
Fried rice omelet with double egg and cheese...
Really? Is that your favorite, too?
Of course, double egg and cheese is the best.
Would you like to order anything else?
- No, thanks. - Okay.
Hello, would you like to order now?
Two beef with rice, one without egg.
- That's all. - Thank you.
No egg? That's a shame.
Our CEO doesn't eat egg.
Careful, your hair.
Steamed egg?
What the hell.
Why don't you have my soup?
Is this the bracelet that I gave you?
I think the clasp is a little bit loose.
Sorry, I must have forgotten to check it.
Let's bring it back for repair.
- We can go when we have time. - Here.
Thank you.
Let's eat.
Is it good?
So Zhong Yu Tang didn't go and clean your house
because she went to have double egg and cheese.
What did you say?
Nothing.
I was just summarizing the story that you just told me.
So
you like Zhong Yu Tang.
What makes you think I like her?
Because my eyes are as sensitive and affectionate as Detective Conan.
There's nothing affectionate about them.
Actually I knew when you woke me up early that morning.
Why would the CEO of a huge company
waste his time to wake up a junior salesperson
instead of having a good rest on the weekend?
You even used a loudspeaker to tell everyone about it.
I'm only pushing her to improve herself
because she's my high school friend.
Come on, Kelvin.
You can lie to yourself if you want to but you'll never fool me.
You suddenly decided to come back and become Tian Xi's CEO
after living in the States for 10 years?
Then it so happened that your high school friend is working at Tian Xi?
How could such a coincidence happen?
No, no, no!
Ask yourself.
You must be up to something.
What can I be up to?
Love.
Let's be honest.
When we used to go out to pick up girls
you were never interested in anyone.
But you care a lot about Zhong Yu Tang.
You even care about which guy she goes out to dinner with.
Isn't it obvious enough that you like her?
So you admit it, right?
Remember how you made fun of Zhong Yu Tang
for being a refresh man at work?
But what about you?
Look at you, you don't even have the guts to tell her that you like her.
You started to like her 10 years ago but nothing has happened at all.
It certainly makes you a veteran refresh man at relationships.
If I told you I have another reason for caring so much about her
- would you believe me? - Yeah.
But I'm sure that's not the major reason.
Here's my friendly advice, love never waits.
You should tell her if you really like her.
Why don't I teach you a few tricks?
First trick, text her three times a day to say hello.
Can't do it? That's okay, I'll help you.
Cai Sheng Ren, what are you doing?
The reason why you've never had a girlfriend
is because you're always so hesitant.
What if we ask her to go and clean your house?
No.
I just gave her a challenge to figure out Mei Mei's problem.
Let's not disturb her right now.
You certainly care a lot about Zhong Yu Tang.
You don't want to disturb her.
You obviously like her.
All right, then let's say goodnight to her.
- What are you doing? - What? This is my phone.
I don't have her number, get your hands off me.
Look how nervous you are! Got you!
- It's your turn. - Okay.
You mean Xin Wei's Secretary-General will propose that his company
add egg shell membrane to Mei Mei?
As long as we can prepare a good enough proposal to convince the CEO
and get in touch with the person in charge at Xin Wei
we'll be one step closer to transforming Mei Mei.
- Yes! - That's incredible.
Then we'll be able to upgrade Mei Mei
and put it on the market again.
I can already feel my spirit beginning to warm up again.
I'm also beginning to see a new direction in my life.
Exactly, so we must get our act together.
Because Dottie Billington once said
"The most important thing is not the current situation we're in"
"but the direction we'll be heading in the future."
Yu Tang, what did Paris Hilton say again?
I thought it was Whitney Houston.
Whitney Houston?
When is Dottie Billington's--
"The most important thing is not the current situation we're in"
"but the direction we'll be heading in the future."
When is Dottie Billington's birthday?
Actually, it's not that important.
What matters most is we must work together
and come up with a good proposal.
If everything works according to plan
when Mei Mei gets put on Yours's shelves
perhaps it'll be in its brand new packaging.
Yes.
Hello, Dear, are you still working at A-Wan Soap?
Fantastic, can I have a look at your sales reports for the last two years?
- Have you ever thought about... - Is his surname "Chen"?
Okay, thanks.
Thank you, what would I do without you?
093...
- We just finished the proposal. - All done!
Give me five.
Thank you, everyone.
- You must be exhausted. - Not really.
I'll take this call. You guys can go ahead.
- We're going, bye. - Bye.
Hi, Zi Yu. Sure.
My colleagues and I just finished the proposal.
We'll be presenting it to our company tomorrow.
Yeah, so I'll probably have to stay up late again tonight.
Really? You've got some updated numbers?
Okay.
Can you send them over to me?
I'll go back to the office and amend our proposal.
Okay.
Looks like I'll have to make it a quick dinner tonight.
- Ai Sha? - Yu Tang, what are you doing here?
I was going to have a quick meal before I go back to the office.
Judging from the way you're dressed, you must live really close to the office.
Yeah, it saves a lot of commuting time.
- Want to have dinner together? - Okay.
Yu Tang, wait.
"A bottle a day will give you plenty of energy to keep your glow"
"even when faced with numerous challenges?"
It'll give you an energy boost.
- It's like a drink supplement. - Sounds amazing.
Let me get you a bottle.
I'll pay for it myself.
You know what?
I know everyone says instant noodles are really unhealthy
but when you eat them once in a while, they can actually cheer you up.
I never thought you'd be so down to earth.
What do you mean?
It would be very normal for me to go have instant noodles
in sweatpants.
But I never thought you'd do that.
I don't have many relatives
and I don't live with my mom.
Since I always eat alone
I really can't be bothered cooking.
That's why I usually have quick and easy meals outside.
You're the first person in the office to know my secret.
Let's just say we've exchanged
our secrets of being a loner.
Perhaps we should have an instant noodle date next time.
Don't let anyone know about this.
Let me help you.
This bracelet
is really pretty.
Thank you.
Actually, I don't usually wear jewelry.
But this is different.
Once I put it on
I didn't want to take it off.
That's why it'll be a shame if you lose it.
You'd better get it fixed.
I'm sure you mean a lot
to Ji Wen Kai.
That's why he gave you such a beautiful present.
What about you?
What do you think about Kelvin?
Do you still think he's really mean?
Now that I think about it
perhaps you were right.
He's not the Ji Wen Kai that I used to know
but maybe this is the real him.
He may be very harsh and picking on both me and Sales Team C
but it may be his nastiness
that's driven Sales Team C forward.
I just emailed you the file.
I know you'll be working tonight but don't stay up too late.
Good luck tomorrow.
Ai Sha, I have to go back to the office now.
Zi Yu's agreed to add egg shell membrane into Mei Mei.
So I'll be presenting to Ji Wen Kai tomorrow.
- See you later. - Bye.
Ai Sha's still much better than me.
Not only is she both beautiful and knowledgeable
she also knows how to look after herself.
No wonder all our male colleagues see her as their goddess
whenever they see her.
Here.
Thank you.
The two of them actually make quite a good match.
Hang on.
Who cares if they make a good match or not?
This is crazy.
Focus on your work.
[Tian Xi]
You have a factory visit at 11 o'clock.
A luncheon with Spring Department Store's Chairman Wu at one o'clock.
The director of the Asian Hair and Beauty Association will be here at 3:30 p.m.
It's 9:20 a.m. now so I still have 10 minutes.
I hope our last minute VIP guest won't be late.
We already spoke on the phone.
He's on his way and will be here on time.
Okay, it's now up to those refresh men to show us what they've got.
That's weird, Yu Tang, can you come here for a second?
It's all plugged in, so how come there's nothing on the screen?
What's wrong with it?
I forgot all about that.
To be honest, it's been a while since I've presented to my boss.
I'm so nervous.
Team Leader, we must have confidence.
Sales Team C can definitely do this.
Go team!
CEO.
CEO, this is Sales Team C's proposal
to add egg shell membrane to Mei Mei.
- Please have a look at it. - CEO, give me one minute.
We can start our presentation once I bring it up on the screen.
You seem to be very confident about this.
Ji Wen...
CEO, you didn't even look--
CEO, can you tell us what's wrong with it?
It was a joint effort by our entire team.
Yu Tang also spent a lot of time on this presentation.
So if--
I haven't finished yet.
Don't be so anxious, okay?
CEO, your VIP guest is here.
Bring him in.
Please come in.
Zi Yu? What are you doing here?
Okay, now is not the time to chat.
Let's get down to business.
Secretary-General Wang, thank you for taking the time to come here.
Thank you for inviting me to this important meeting, CEO Ji.
Please have a seat.
Listen.
This VIP guest will be your audience for your presentation today.
Whether you can add egg shell membrane into Mei Mei
will depend on Secretary-General Wang's assessment of your presentation.
You mean we'll have to present to Zi Yu instead?
Zhong Yu Tang.
It's not really that easy to close business deals.
It takes more than dinners and friendly chats to sign a contract.
If Sales Team C is unable to prove their ability
how would Secretary-General Wang justify his decision for Xin Wei?
CEO Ji's certainly very thoughtful.
The CEO's right.
We should prove to Xin Wei
that this project will be a win-win situation.
But having said that
don't you think we should also present to Xin Wei's development manager
to make it even more official?
Team Leader Meng He.
Do you mean since he's only the Secretary-General
he isn't qualified to be here?
That's not what I mean at all.
The majority of bosses
would choose to appoint their sons as Secretary-General
to prepare them for taking over their businesses.
In addition to being Xin Wei Biotechnology's Secretary-General
he's also Chairman Wang's son.
So he'll be taking over Xin Wei Group in the future.
I bet you didn't know that.
Sitting in front of you is a true prince.
I usually prefer not to reveal my identity for work reasons.
Even the media doesn't really report on my family background.
So most people in the industry aren't aware of who I am.
I hope you don't mind that I didn't tell you earlier.
- Team Leader Meng He. - Yes.
Zhong Yu Tang.
Please be careful.
Even the slightest mistake
will put the future of Sales Team C at risk.
You must do your best
and give a perfect presentation
to the future chairman of Xin Wei Biotechnology.
Secretary-General Wang.
I'd like you to forget about any personal feelings or favors for now
so that you can use your utmost objectivity and strictest standards
to assess whether or not Mei Mei can be Xin Wei's future partner.
I'm sure Sales Team C will be able to give us
a fabulous presentation.
I can't wait to see it.
Mei Mei was Tian Xi Group's very first product
and is one of the company's tentpoles.
The reason for its success
is because Mei Mei's always maintained its wonderful tradition of being natural.
But the current market is flooded with products that claim to be natural.
So under such fierce competition
if we don't try to improve ourselves
it's only a matter of time before we get eliminated.
Mei Mei's biggest challenge is that many regard it as an outdated product.
In order to overcome this obstacle, we've decided to produce a brand new Mei Mei.
One of the most important features
is Xin Wei Biotechnology's egg shell membrane.
That concludes Sales Team C's presentation.
I'm sure we'll be able to attract consumers
if we combine Xin Wei Biotechnology's egg shell membrane with Mei Mei.
In addition to making the new Mei Mei more popular
it'll also help Xin Wei Biotechnology create a new miracle
as the leading company in the industry.
Thank you.
Secretary-General Wang, what do you think?
It's a very creative idea.
Your proposal's very comprehensive
with up-to-date and accurate numbers.
You've also taken a very practical approach
in terms of visions and objectives.
I definitely trust Sales Team C's professionalism.
Thank you.
I'm sure Xin Wei's technology
will work really well with Tian Xi
to develop the best product.
Thank you.
Thank you, CEO.
It was a very successful presentation.
I'm sure it'll be a great working relationship.
Of course.
Congratulations for achieving your dream of working with Sales Team C.
I'm sure you're very happy about that.
What are you trying to say, CEO?
Why don't you tell me what I'm trying to say?
Since you already know what my goal is
why did you still let me work with Sales Team C?
It's the perfect project.
I don't have any business reason to reject it.
I also believe
the reason why Sales Team C chose to work with Xin Wei
was purely based on a professional consideration
and not personal feelings.
That's possible.
But I'm now a step closer to my goal.
So it's hard to say how things will turn out in the end.
You're certainly very funny, Secretary-General Wang.
If you want to put it that way
my office is much closer to Sales Team C than you are.
That's true.
I guess I'd better have more frequent meetings with Sales Team C
to make up for our distance.
You're very welcome.
We love hardworking people in our industry.
But let me remind you.
I hope you can remain professional.
- Don't get too personal. - Don't worry, CEO.
I'm 100 percent professional when it comes to work.
But as for my personal relationships
I'll work even harder at it.
That's good.
I love challenges.
Bring it on.
[Tian Xi]
Yu Tang, you did a wonderful job.
You should give yourself a pat on the shoulder.
You've improved so much.
It certainly didn't take you long to become a competent salesperson.
You really think so?
You know what? I was so nervous.
Even though I tried to comfort my team leader
my heart was probably beating three times as fast as hers was.
I look forward to great results after you add egg shell membrane into Mei Mei.
But I'd like to remind you of something.
Until you actually sign the contract
you mustn't let anyone know about this project.
Okay, thanks for the reminder.
You mean I can't even let other colleagues know about it?
They'll start to gossip.
The more people know about it the more likely it is that things will change.
How can a NT$50 soap
compare to our high-end skincare products?
How dare Sales Team C try to steal our team's supplier.
The waste treatment center's trying to make a comeback.
Why would they care about work ethics?
I've been in this industry long enough to have seen all kinds of tricks.
You want to get nasty?
Bring it on.
Zhong Yu Tang.
Manager Jia.
I need to have a word with Sales Team C.
Team Leader Meng.
I should really give Sales Team C a round of applause.
You guys are really something.
You remained invisible
until it was time to launch an attack.
How dare you try to steal my team's supplier.
Manager Jia, calm down.
Both Sales Teams A and C are part of Tian Xi.
Don't you think it's a good thing
to work with a reputable supplier and maximize our company's profits?
Team Leader Meng.
I certainly underestimated you.
I thought you were only capable of driving bargains at the market.
But you're actually very good at bullshitting as well.
- Aren't you embarrassed at all? - Thank you.
Manager Jia, this is Sales Team C, not Sales Team A.
Be careful what you say.
Just because you just signed an ordinary sales contract
doesn't mean you can talk so loudly.
I'm so scared.
Listen up!
Egg shell membrane is our rejuvenating mask's most important element.
I'll never let Mei Mei use it.
Let me warn you
you'd better terminate your contract with Xin Wei immediately.
Manager Jia.
I know you're worried that your egg shell membrane will lose its market dominance.
But Mei Mei's target customers are totally different from that of your mask.
So I don't think you should worry at all.
You know what?
Xin Wei already approved our proposal
which means they also favor Mei Mei.
We can't just terminate our collaboration with them all of a sudden.
Fine.
Then let's do this the hard way.
I'll go and ask the CEO right now.
Let's see if Sales Team C is really more important than Sales Team A!
What should we do? We haven't even signed the contract yet.
- Do you think it'll be okay? - Yeah.
Do you think the CEO will take Sales Team A's side?
Don't worry, I'll go with them
and fight for our team's rights.
Egg shell membrane is Tian Xi's high-end product.
The reason we can target customers at the peak of the pyramid
is because of the egg shell membrane.
Why would you use it in a cheap product like Mei Mei?
It'll dramatically degrade the egg shell membrane's value.
Manager Jia, it's only going to be one of the ingredients in the new Mei Mei.
Its dosage will be totally different from that of your mask.
So there's no need to make such a comparison at all.
If our consumers like the new Mei Mei
then more people will know about the egg shell membrane.
It'll also have a positive effect on your mask.
Do you realize what you're doing, you rookie?
Sales Team A has an average monthly sales of 300 million dollars.
Mei Mei will probably only make a few million dollars at best.
Instead of increasing our company's profit
we will suffer huge losses because of the loss of our customers.
CEO.
I'd like you to terminate the project between Tian Xi and Xin Wei.
Manager Jia, I fully trust your performance at work.
Everyone in the office
knows that Sales Team A is the most important pillar in Tian Xi.
- CEO-- - However...
since you kept emphasizing the importance of egg shell membrane to Sales Team A
does that mean you won't be able to sell your product
without egg shell membrane?
Of course not.
That means Sales Team A
should be able to sell any kind of product, right?
That's what a top salesperson should be capable of doing.
I'm sure that as a sales manager
you should understand that better than I do.
I also believe that everyone in Sales Team A should also have that ability.
Otherwise you don't really deserve to be called the elite team.
Right?
Yes.
So even if Sales Team C adds egg shell membrane into Mei Mei
I don't think it'll pose any threat to Sales Team A.
I think the project
should be continued, provided that it won't affect
the other departments.
CEO.
I've already analyzed the possible threats for you.
If you've made that decision because you're biased toward Sales Team C
as a manager, I'll never let my staff be treated unfairly.
Sales Team A is a team of elites.
We can have a great career anywhere.
We don't have to stay at Tian Xi forever.
Are you trying to threaten me?
I...
We should get rid of this waste
instead of letting it get in people's way
Fine, then tell me.
What kind of a result does Sales Team C need to achieve
for them to be regarded as a valuable department?
A minimum of 30 million dollars monthly.
Otherwise you might as well fire the entire team.
Nobody's going to miss them.
What if they can achieve that result?
If they could, they wouldn't be called the waste treatment center, would they?
Manager Jia.
Please don't look down on Sales Team C.
Don't forget we just signed a contract with Yours.
That was just a fluke.
How about this?
If you achieve the target
then we'll give Sales Team C our sales bonus for the first half of the year.
But if you don't, then Sale Team C will be fired immediately.
So are you in?
How about this?
If you achieve the target
then we'll give Sales Team C our sales bonus for the first half of the year.
But if you don't, then Sale Team C will be fired immediately.
So are you in?
Zhong Yu Tang.
Do you want to accept this challenge?
Refresh man note eight.
You'll only get a chance to win if you take a gamble.
As for whether or not you should show your hand
you'd better think about it first.
Okay, I'll accept the challenge.
You might as well apologize to your team now
because Sales Team C will definitely take home your sales bonus.
30 million?
We've never come close to that.
But our situation's not the same anymore.
We now have access to Taiwan's largest retail chain
and we're going to develop a brand new Mei Mei.
As long as we work hard at it, I'm sure we can achieve our target.
But we need more than just a good product
we have to get enough exposure so that people are aware of our new product.
And we've already submitted
our budget for this year.
So where do we get the money for packaging and promotion?
Perhaps we can print out leaflets and give them out on the street.
We can also increase our retail outlets
by introducing Mei Mei to them.
We can promote it on Facebook because the internet is a very effective channel.
Everyone's so motivated.
Of course, you don't get it because you used to be the King of Sales.
We've been called waste for a long time
so we have to show them what we've got.
Excellent, this motivation and morale is exactly what we need right now.
Let's keep up the good work and prove ourselves to those who look down on us.
Tian Xi Sales Team C
is now officially in preparation for battle.
We'll be working through the weekend starting tomorrow, okay?
Okay!
Consumers will definitely see the value of the new Mei Mei.
If you're willing to include it in your promotions
such as your annual sales brochure
or the LED display in your shop and promote it as a hot item
it'll definitely increase your sales and create a buzz.
Your profit will double by the end of the year.
We'll definitely be your best choice.
- Incredible. - Bravo, well done.
If they can promote it for us then we won't have a budget problem.
But I still think there's something missing.
We need a slogan to make an impression.
That's it, if we have a slogan
then we can use a simple sentence to attract our buyers
and explain our product to them.
Okay, let's have a meeting
and try to come up with a slogan.
Let's begin.
I think
it has to be a sincere statement
so that we can build trust with our consumers.
It must be easy to remember and full of positive energy.
It must also have bonding power so that it can unite our consumers
and urge them to make a purchase.
I've got one.
Change for the better.
What do you think?
Change for the better?
That's right.
Because Mei Mei has totally changed Sales Team C.
We're a lot closer to each other now.
So I'm sure Mei Mei will be able to change a lot more people in the future.
Okay, let's go with that.
It's simple, powerful, and easy to remember.
It can motivate people in both their work and everyday life.
Liang Yu, Hui Xin, make sure you put this slogan on the cover of our proposal.
Our overtime was definitely worth it.
Let's do our best to finish our proposal
and take Sales Team A's sales bonus.
- Take it! - Okay?
Okay!
We're going.
- Bye, thank you so much. - Bye...
Yu Tang, it's still quite early, do you want to have lunch together?
I can pick up my son later.
I wish I could, but I've got plans so I can't go with you.
- Okay, we'll go next time. - Okay.
- I'm going, bye. - Bye, thank you.
Bye.
It's almost time.
I should go and clean Ji Wen Kai's house.
[Yu Han]
Hi, Yu Han.
I won't be home for dinner tonight.
What do you mean I never go home?
I'm on my way to Ji Wen Kai's house to be his slave.
All right, you don't need to stay up and wait for me.
Okay, bye.
Congratulations for winning our consolation prize, dried cuttlefish.
I'm so unlucky.
I still haven't won anything.
Sure you have.
Dried cuttlefish is the best prize.
I love it.
You like it? It's all yours.
I thought only kindergarten kids like that.
Come on, I'm still young at heart, okay?
Good luck.
How much is this?
Can I just buy it?
We don't sell our prizes, if you want this model car
then keep playing.
If you're broke
then let's go home.
- Come on. - But I still haven't--
Stop wasting your money.
- Let's go. - See you next time.
You won't win anything anyway.
Hi, I want to keep playing.
You must really like dried cuttlefish.
No, my target is to win that.
Here's another pack.
Boss.
Is this rigged?
None of the tickets in here will win me the model car, right?
We're absolutely fair.
I can guarantee the winning ticket is in there.
Keep playing if you really want it. Good luck, you can do it.
Dear God.
I've almost used up all the lunch money that my dad gave me.
I'll have to survive on instant noodles and bread next month.
I'm begging you...
Please let me pick the winning ticket.
Take your pick.
Please, please, please...
[First Prize: Model car]
I won! I won! I won!
I finally won!
Why are there so many toys?
You're not still trying to win that model car, are you?
These toys are exactly the same as the ones at his place.
Ji Wen Kai hasn't grown up at all.
He's still obsessed with model cars.
Excuse me... Excuse me...
Coming.
- Welcome. - Hi, how much is that model car?
That car is our shop's hidden treasure.
NT$200,000.
NT$200,000? I'm not a kid.
I can buy a real car with that money.
Just kidding, this model car's not for sale.
- Okay, then I'll give it a try. - Okay.
Okay.
Here's another one.
Another one, I'll give you one for free.
Again?
This one.
You don't seem very lucky today, young lady.
What a shame, there was a good-looking guy here not so long ago.
He wanted dried cuttlefish but he was way too lucky.
He got all my big prizes instead.
The two of you should trade.
Hang on, that means you'd end up with all my prizes.
That's okay, I know I can do it.
As long as I don't give up
I'm sure I'll be able to turn my luck around.
Good for you.
Thank you.
Ji Wen Kai's not home?
Why would he miss out on the chance to torture me?
Zhong Yu Tang?
Bingo, I thought it was you.
Are you looking for your CEO?
You're...
You actually forgot? I'm Cai Sheng Ren.
Ji Wen Kai's friend who went to your place in that truck.
Remember me?
Dear Neighbors, Uncles and Aunties.
- Good morning, everyone-- - That's okay.
I know who you are now.
- Are you here to see Ji Wen Kai? - Yeah.
But if it's an inconvenient time
you can tell me, it's okay.
Not at all.
I'm only here to clean his house.
Since he's not home, I'm going.
Wait.
Since Ji Wen Kai and I are buddies
his business is my business and his house is my house.
I thought they only sold dried cuttlefish when we were young.
Did you find them in a history museum?
Why have you got dried cuttlefish in here?
Well...
Cai Sheng Ren loves them so he bought a lot and left them here.
Aren't they your favorite?
My favorite?
Come on, I wouldn't even want them if you gave them to me for free.
You're so old-fashioned.
Usually only middle-aged people would collect antiques like these.
You mean you weren't the one who bought the tickets?
What tickets?
Are you a psychic?
How did you know I picked a fortune ticket at the temple?
I've read so much about this Love Temple on the internet.
Let me read you my fortune.
"You should make the most of your chance or else you'll regret it..."
So they weren't his dried cuttlefish?
Then why did Ji Wen Kai say that?
It's my favorite, dried cuttlefish.
How could you?
You're so mean.
These toys
look like those prizes that we used to win from grocery stores.
- Really? - What a shame.
A good-looking guy was here not so long ago.
He wanted dried cuttlefish but he was way too lucky.
He got all my big prizes instead.
You really like dried cuttlefish, don't you?
If you like them, you can have them.
- It's such an accurate fortune. - Could it be...
What's that? It's a car.
- It looks really cool. - Be careful with that.
It's for Ji Wen Kai.
It's not what you think it is.
I happened to be playing this game
and I got this car but I didn't want a car
so I thought I'd give it to him because he seemed pretty interested in it.
What I don't get is
since the two of you used to be classmates
you should really get along.
How come you seem to hate each other so much?
We did get along back in high school.
But I guess...
I did something wrong.
What do you want?
What are you trying to do?
What? You think you're tough?
Don't push me.
Those are the guys from the party.
They must be here for Ji Wen Kai.
I have to get the supervisor right away.
Hang on, by the time he gets here
Ji Wen Kai will have been beaten to death.
- Ji Wen Kai. - What are you doing?
Stop mucking around.
Excuse me, the teacher would like to see Ji Wen Kai right now.
I guess you'll have to settle your problem next time.
When did the teacher say he wanted to see me?
Don't just stand there, go now or I'll get into trouble with the teacher.
Zhong Yu Tang, do you know what's going on here?
That's exactly why I'm telling you to go. I'll figure it out.
- Zhong Yu Tang-- - Did you hear me?
You must listen to your commander. Go.
- You-- - Hurry up.
Zhong Yu Tang, do you know what's going on here?
That's exactly why I'm telling you to go. I'll figure it out.
- Zhong Yu Tang-- - Did you hear me?
You must listen to your commander. Go.
- You-- - Hurry up.
- Bye... off you go. - Bye... off you go.
Bye.
He's gone, there goes your partner.
- What a hero. - What do you see in him?
My teacher also asked me to go to the Student Affairs Office.
- I have to go. - Zhong Yu Tang... Zhong Yu Tang...
I thought Ji Wen Kai would at least wait for me.
Then one day Ji Wen Kai just went up to those guys
and got into a fight with them.
So he got in deep trouble with the Chief of Student Affairs.
What if you'd gotten Yu Tang in trouble?
She's our top student.
Her ambition is to get into the university of her choice.
Stand properly.
Sir, don't worry.
A troublemaker like Ji Wen Kai who doesn't like to study
will never be good enough to be my friend.
So I won't be influenced by him.
Did you hear that?
See what a loser you are?
Even Yu Tang doesn't want to be your friend.
Are you done?
Make sure you write a 1,200-word essay reflecting on this
and give it to me within three days.
Sir.
That's not what I mean.
I may not be friends with Ji Wen Kai
but he's actually not a bad person.
The reason he got into a fight with those guys
was because they tried to bully me at the last school dance.
Ji Wen Kai came to my rescue.
So I think the reason they ended up fighting
must have been because they aggravated Ji Wen Kai.
What a touching story.
No, I mean a tragic past.
Ever since that day
Ji Wen Kai and I slowly grew apart.
Every time he saw me
he just treated me like I wasn't there.
But don't you think it's weird?
Of course it's weird.
I really don't get why he has such a weird temper.
Zhong Yu Tang, wake up.
Of all the girls that I've dated
I've never seen someone as silly as you are.
Why don't you ask him why he's acting so weird?
I guess I was too busy.
I had to prepare for my final exam
and something happened in my family.
After Ji Wen Kai moved out
we just lost touch.
Until one day when I found out he'd become my CEO at Tian Xi.
He told me I was the soldier and he was my commander.
That's when I finally realized
what a huge misunderstanding it was.
But isn't that great?
At least you can talk it out and clarify your misunderstanding.
But that was ages ago.
I didn't even know where I should start.
It actually makes me really happy
to see how ambitious and successful
Ji Wen Kai has become.
He's no longer the King of Zero I used to know.
He's become
the Ji Wen Kai that I always wanted him to become.
That's all, I better start cleaning before it gets too late.
My goodness.
They're like the modern day Romeo and Juliet.
They definitely need someone to help them get together.
Zhong Yu Tang...
How're you doing in sales?
It's okay, I'm getting used to it.
I'm sure it's not easy, but don't worry.
It must be your lucky day today because I'm the King of Sales.
I started selling ice blocks to my classmates back in kindergarten.
- Are you serious? - Why would I lie to you?
Listen, as an outstanding salesperson
you must entertain your clients.
As long as you're willing to have a few drinks with your clients
they'll sign the contract.
Of course I realize entertaining my clients is very important.
But my alcohol tolerance...
You know what happened last time?
What's wrong?
Ji Wen Kai, what are you doing?
Forget it, I don't really want to talk about it.
Anyway, drinking doesn't really work for me.
I think I'll just pay personal visits to my clients.
Zhong Yu Tang, listen to me.
I thought you were a top student?
How come you're so inflexible?
I thought you wanted to impress Ji Wen Kai with some great sales results.
So why are you throwing away such a good opportunity?
Did you know you can improve your alcohol tolerance?
I do remember my friend saying that as well.
Exactly.
- Have you read Jin Yong's novels? - Yeah.
Once you hit on the right pressure points
then you'll immediately become a kung fu expert.
- So how do I do that? - Here's the principle.
People get drunk when the ethanol level rises too quickly
for their brain to maintain balance.
So as long as you try to distract your brain and keep it working
then you'll never get drunk.
- You don't get it? - Absolutely not.
That's okay, you do know a few tongue twisters, don't you?
Every time you finish a glass
say a tongue twister.
As long as you focus on saying the tongue twister
then you won't get drunk, get it?
Trust me, I'll show you how it's done.
She sells seashells by the seashore.
- Your turn. - Just like that?
She sells seashells by the seashore.
How do you feel?
I think
it actually works.
When I focused on saying the tongue twister
I couldn't really feel the effects of the alcohol.
That's it, if you distract your brain and keep it working then you won't get drunk.
Let's keep practicing.
Okay.
You can do it.
She sells seashells by the seashore.
- Very good. - It works.
If you take one step at a time
you'll only get better at it.
- Let's keep going. - Okay.
- You can do it. - Okay.
She sells seashells
by the seashore.
- I did it. - You sure did.
- I think it really works. - Of course.
- I can't even feel a thing. - Excellent.
- Let's keep going. - Okay.
Let's do this.
She sells
seashells... it's seashells, right?
Of course it's seashells.
She sells seashells...
You're such a talent.
- Shall we keep going? - Sure.
I got a little stuck but I think it wasn't bad.
- Did you think so? - Yeah, you're doing a great job.
Okay.
She sells
seashells
by the...
seashells... sells seashells by the seashore.
Well done, Zhong Yu Tang.
- I did it! - You're amazing.
- See that? - You're so talented.
- I think all the credit goes to you. - No, I knew you had it in you.
- I can drink 10 more glasses. - No, just 1 last glass.
- And you'll be a qualified salesperson. - Okay.
- Bring it on. - One last glass.
What are you doing?
Just one last glass and you'll be a qualified salesperson.
Okay.
- Bring it on. - One last glass.
What are you doing?
You're back just in time.
Let me be your matchmaker today.
I've got it all set up for you.
You've got what set up?
You don't need to thank me, okay?
I'm going, bye.
Where are you going? I've already hit the right pressure points--
- Zhong Yu Tang-- - Somebody's selling seashells.
Zhong Yu Tang, you should be cleaning my house.
Why are you drinking and having fun instead?
I wasn't just having fun.
We were doing serious training.
- What training? - Listen.
She sells seashells
by the...
Zhong Yu Tang, you're drunk. I'll take you home.
I'm not drunk, I did it.
You know something?
Now that I've overcome alcohol
I'll be able to take on a lot more clients in the future.
You knew I didn't have a network
so you let me get close to Zi Yu.
You let me fall into the trap
because you knew Sales Team A would be coming after me.
That's okay...
Let me tell you.
I won't be defeated.
Sales Team C is not as weak as you think we are...
- Ji Wen Kai. - You...
Remember what you said?
I'm the soldier and you're my commander.
So the soldier must listen to his commander.
But you know what?
The soldier can still take the commander.
Do you want me to take you?
So you want to take me?
Are you and Zhong Yu Tang...
Do you remember what happened last night?
I can't remember a thing.
You're certainly a reliable, creative, and tasteful girl.
No wonder he thinks so highly of you.
He who?
He may appear to be mean and nasty
but he's actually a great person.
It's simple.
- He likes you. - He likes me?
What matters most is not what he did
but how you feel about him.
Yu Tang, do you like him?
