Episode 2
I have checked for you and you are neck and neck.
- Neck and neck?- Yes.
- What is her position?- I don't know.
But she will be your competitor sooner or later.
Look.
Look how chummy she is with the General Manager and Mr. Huang.
Do you see?
That's nothing. I've been at SH for so long. She's just a newcomer.
Yes. She can't get to a higher position than you right now,
but you have to nip in the bud.
What is our company culture in SH? Boss culture.
If the boss think you have enough ability, then you get promoted.
If not,
no matter how many talents you have, it won't work. Don't you know?
Anyway,
it won't be good to
have someone like her under me.
Eat something.
- Kathy.- Yes.
You are not subordinate staff.
Later we, the Human Resource Department, will be depending on you and Lala.
- Sure.- Best of luck.
Kathy, Mr. Huang will give you three months
to show your abilities.
We will choose one of you to be the Director of Human Resources,
so you must show how good you are.
I know.
Du Lala is one of the best in SH.
Kathy, as a newcomer, do you have confidence?
Of course I do.
Du Lala doesn't know it, right?
She hasn't been aware yet.
I am worried about how to tell her.
I thought she would be the Directer of Human Resources,
but such an extraordinary people like Kathy should be cherished.
The competition in our company is quite fair,
so the one with better ability will take the position.
You must try your best.
Find a suitable opportunity and explain it to her well.
After all, she have been working in the company for years. You must try to pacify her.
Guo Dong, you have to handle this in a good way.
You can count on me.
Thanks, Manager Huang. Thanks, General Manager.
Best luck.
Thank you all.
Today is the celebration for the new employees and
the promotion of Manager Huang.
Let's liven things up and I hope that everyone will enjoy themselves.
Other than that, I want to express my gratitude to someone, and that's Lala Jie.
Thank you for everything that you did for my mother.
Thank you.
Sorry, sorry. I forget to tell you guys something.
I make an announcement of
an important decision about SH's Human Resources Department.
Our company has decided for the better development of our HR Department and
a better future, we have
invited Miss Kathy to join us as an HR Manager,
and of course she will work with Du Lala, taking charge of HR Department.
I will give them three months to show their ability.
Whoever's the best and works the hardest...
What happened?
That person will be the Director of HR.
A surprise.
Let's welcome Miss Kathy onto the stage.
A surprise...
Thank you.
First of all, thank Manager Huang
for giving me such a precious opportunity to talk with you.
Hello, everyone. I'm Kathy.
- What did I say just now?- I am very glad to meet with you guys here.
Whoever comes is not kind.
- The kind one won't come.- I believe through our efforts, SH will have a better future.
- Cheers!- Wonderful!
You just have to fight with Kathy step by step.
Huang Guo Dong just needs obedience. What you have to do is to obey him
or find chances to give him some gifts.
I didn't do anything shameful.
I will compete with Kathy fairly rather than send gifts behind her back.
Sure, sure. A fair competition.
You are just as stubborn as Xiao Wei.
I heard that my mom came.
Yes. She is always talking about you.
Oh, stop.
How lucky that I'm going to Beijing for a business trip tomorrow and won't be back until next week.
Or should I wait to come back after my mom leaves?
Don't. I think your mother is quite easy to get along with, and isn't awful as you say.
You don't know her.
After living together for some time,
you will know she is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
This sheep doesn't mean sheep but open-minded.
How can you describe your mother like this?
Really, do not be fooled by her appearance.
You think it's normal that she smiles to visit you.
It's easy to meet but hard to live together.
Li Jie, don't scare me.
Hey.
Do you think mom will stay in Shanghai in the long-term?
Didn't she come because she's lovelorn? It'll be okay after, right?
You just stay positive now.
Wow. Wang Wei really treats you well.
Looking at the position and environment of this community,
he must have sent a lot of money.
Don't mention it.
We have to pay 20,000 in debt each month.
It's almost my monthly salary.
If he doesn't pay, I will really become while-collar.
My entire month's salary would be gone.
Alright! Don't vent your grievances.
Who doesn't know that you guys are new couple, so sweet now
and deeply attached to each other. All right. Just quickly go upstairs.
You're already here. You're not going to come in for a while?
Oh, I don't want to be the third-wheel.
Moreover, if I go to your luxury apartment, I will be jealous. No thanks.
You just said it's luxury. Why not go and see?
The wall is covered with our blood and sweat.
Then I definitely can't go.
All right. Let's talk about the main topic.
You don't have to worry about Kathy.
Only in competition can you show off your strengths.
I will fully support you.
I know, Jie. Am I a narrow-hearted person?
- Are you really not going with me?- No. Go, go.
- I am going. - Quickly go to be sweet.
- Bye bye.- Ok. Bye bye.
- Jie, have a safe trip. Bye bye.- Ok, bye bye.
A candlelight dinner.
Fifty Shades of Grey.
Can he be more creative?
You scared me!
For me?
Of course.
Giving me such a huge bouquet of roses...
Hubby, did you do anything to be sorry about?
Speak!
The meat is a little over burned.
All right.
Where is mom?
My husband is definitely ‘Cooking Master Boy’! The best chef!
Overpraised!
Hubby, you know I was so embarrassed today.
Today,
Mom has asked me to take care of one of her students named Qian Qian.
But I mistook her for someone else.
- Do you know why? - Hm?
The Qian Qian mom referred to is Qian with the a side character of 'people'.
- With the character 'green'.- And another side is 'green'.
But it turns out that the one I was mistook her for
was also named Qian Qian. Her name is Xiao Qian,
which is consisted of characters 'grass' and 'west'.
- Oh.- So I was confused them
and made a ridiculous joke.
Then?
Then I found that
the one mom asked me to take care of is not easy to look after.
No problem. You can do this.
Just teach her what I have taught you.
Hubby, you have set a such romantic dinner.
Do you feel disappointed that I talked about this?
No. I am willing to share your everything.
Hi, Miss Kathy, is this the wine you've ordered?
Yes, open it please.
Hey, wait.
Kathy Jie, this wine is so expensive, more than $10,000.
Of course. This is France's best wine. I especially ordered for you.
- Just open it, thanks.- Okay.
Please wait.
I feel that this wine bar's atmosphere is not bad.
You know, sometimes after a tiring day at work,
- I will come here for drinks. Try some in a bit.- Okay.
Try some and clink!
- How is it?- Hmm.
As long as you like it.
Today, I think the way how Du Lala
dealt with the situation with your mother has some problems.
As the Manager of Human Resources, I apologize.
Kathy Jie, my mom...
But Jin Jing, I have seen your grades.
They're really good.
If you keep going like this, you will definitely be able to stay after your internship.
Whether I stay after the internship or not, I don't want to be judged by other colleagues.
That's why I did the piano performance at the welcoming cocktail party.
Yes, you played very well.
You have great skills.
Moreover, I think that even though you work in the same company as your mother
and you work together, you two are different individuals.
How she does won't affect you.
Similarly, your performance won't affect her either.
If you want to work in international industries for the long-term, this is something you have to remember.
Forget it. It's my fate that I have a mother like her.
Don't say that.
I will have strict work requirements for you,
but privately,
if you have any difficulties, feel free to ask me.
Thank you so much, Kathy Jie.
I'm living alone right now, so there's nothing I really need money for.
Ta-da!
This is for you.
Kathy Jie, I can't accept this. It's too valuable.
Don't be so polite with me. Look and see if you like it.
These are all famous brands.
- These.. I can't accept it.- Don't worry about it.
I have so many clothes. I can't possibly wear them all.
These are all new. If you don't mind, just take them.
Thank you, Kathy Jie.
You are welcome! Come, let's clink again.
Cheers for our career.
Cheers.
Hubby,
I think the Qian Qian mom told me about today
is not some good person.
Isn't she mom's student?
Are they close?
Quite close. She lived with us when she was young.
Mom was her homeroom teacher and was familiar with her mom as well. Our families had a lot of relations.
Childhood sweethearts.
Come on!
When she was a green plum, I wasn't a bamboo horse anymore.(I wasn't a child anymore when she was that age.)
Why do I
feel a little nervous from your words?
Can it be that
you feel pressure since she is competing with you for the position of Director of HR?
No.
My wife is such an extraordinary woman,
so strong in every aspect, and also older than her.
- As for work...- Hey, hey, hey!
What are you saying? Do you think that being older is an advantage?
Of course.
Being older is an advantage no matter what.
If I was your boss,
I would have the married woman with more experience as the Director.
It's the same with housekeepers.
This is how to manage a company well.
Though your words sound like fallacy,
I still thank you for supporting me, Hubby.
What do you mean fallacy?
Moreover,
I not only support you,
but I support you wholeheartedly.
Stop!
Hubby,
I need to discuss something with you.
Mom just seems so open, but deep down she is still traditional.
I was thinking
whether she will force us to have kids or a wedding reception.
Du Lala. Du Lala.
Here is the thing.
My mom is a traditional woman, but she isn't without weakness.
Of course she wants her son to have a wonderful wedding reception,
but if we tell her that
it's not popular to pay the share for a wedding reception nowadays...
Trust me, she will shut down immediately like me now,
and give up those thoughts.
Brilliant.
Hubby, I love you.
I am going plaza dancing. Remember to eat breakfast.
Having a mother-in-law is great. I can eat a ready-made breakfast!
- Lala Jie, good morning.- Good morning.
Is this real?
- Do you know about it?- Yeah, yeah.
- Lala Jie, good morning.- Good morning.
Lala Jie, good morning.
Good morning.
Lala Jie.
Your office...
Personnel Manager
Manager Huang.
Though Kathy and I are both HR Managers, we still have our own work.
Isn't it better if we didn't have the same office?
Oh.
This makes the competition more fair and transparent.
Moreover, it's not up to me.
This is a decision from upper management, the General Manager.
We are not afraid of anyone, okay?
What's her experience and what's yours?
She is just a young girl over 20.
All right. You can even be her mother back in old times.
I am 30 and she is 24. I could be her mother at 6?
No, no... That's not what I mean. I mean your ability and status
is much better than her.
Manager Huang,
I am kind of an old employee here.
Do I not have a chance to have a independent office?
This...
Isn't it better to be able to communicate more?
Don't worry. Be happy.
About this... just take it easy.
So this cannot be discussed any more?
Come on.
Did you hear?
Within three months, Du Lala and Kathy will definitely have a huge fight!
Why is that?
A mountain can't have two tigers.
One will become the Director of HR and the other one will have to leave.
- It can't be. Resign for not getting promoted?- Human Resource Department.
It was and peaceful. Why did they make it such tense?
The rising wind forebodes the coming storm. Haven't you heard that before?
Du Lala must lack working ability,
so that's why they asked Kathy to come.
But I remember that Lala is very capable.
Great?
Lao Huang got promoted while Lala didn't.
She is 30. If she was to be promoted, it would've been much earlier.
I think it may be Kathy...
Lala Jie isn't here, so you talk about her like that?
What's the problem with being 30?
Xiao Qian, you've only been in the company for a short time,
so there are some things you don't understand.
How old a woman is actually matters a lot.
Even if Lala Jie is older, her work abilities are much stronger.
You guys are really funny.
What's so good about Kathy?
- This is the gift for me?- Yes.
Really? It's so cute. How do you play with it?
Shake. Shake it.
Interesting. Wow. Can you tell me what it is?
- So cute.- Why do you have so many toys? What's that?
This is a monkey.
Hahaha.
What's big deal?
I also have one.
Come.
Oh, Li Li texted you. Did you read it?
Text?
Really.
Don't be afraid of that little monster! When I'm back, let's subdue the monster together!
Though those young girls are vivid and energetic,
Lala, at your age, you are also very marketable.
Best of luck.
- I am going first.- Make your words clear! What age am I?
Ah, it's just Baymax!
I also have one!
Hello? Yes, speaking...
My husband and I bought this home with a mortgage. Why?
Ah, the balance isn't enough?
Oh, sorry. I forgot.
Yes, twenty thousand per month. Could I ask you to for a favor?
Please don't let this affect our credit. We still want to change homes.
Ok, bye.
What's the matter?
The bank... We forgot to pay the mortgage this week.
What's the date today? Oh, I'll use Alipay to give them the money.
Eh, pay a bit more.
If we give more they will deduct the exceeded amount, so it doesn't affect our credit.
Hubby, where's mom?
I haven't been at home much for the past couple of days, so I didn't even get a chance to see her.
At this time... she's gone to dance in the square.
That's right, the square dance is such a great invention.
Since mum isn't here...
We can spend our time together.
Hubby, you cook dinner tonight.
And then...
There is nothing after.
- Just that. - Yeah.
Couples night?
Quickly go make dinner. Hail Hubby.
Mom, you're back.
Mr. Wang Wei.
Can you explain to me what you are doing?
Making dinner...?
Making dinner?!
You're making dinner?
- What's wrong? - Xiao Wei, I can't believe it.
What have you come to?
Hubby, is dinner ready?
If you're done, wash the clothes.
Separate the underwear so it doesn't get dirty.
Do you know who you look like right now?
A landlady.
You look like my mom when she was younger.
When my mom was younger, she was very cool.
Really pretty. Doesn't she look like you, Mom?
Can you explain to me what you are doing?
Mom, please don't mistaken... I'm... I'm...
This is cosplay.
He's acting as the wife and I'm the husband.
Mom, how come you suddenly returned?
Are you blaming me for returning early or returning coincidentally?
Good thing I returned otherwise how would I know
that when I'm away my son is living in such brutish conditions.
Mom, what are you talking about? Lala's been in the office all day. She's really tired.
I came home early so I'm making dinner. What's wrong with that?
I've been here for two days. The first day,
Lala says her company has a cocktail party, so I cook dinner.
Today, the second day, my son cooks dinner.
I really don't know when I can eat
my lovely Daughter-in-law's dinner.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow.
Tomorrow when I come home from work, I'll cook.
- Tomorrow...? - I look forward to it.
Hubby, did you know that your mother was this impressive?
Of course I knew. She's my mother.
Did you hear what Mother just said?
She wants to live here long-term.
How long is long-term?
One or two months? Three or four years?
Eight years? Ten years?!
Ten years later, I won't remember you and you won't remember me.
Pei pei pei (don't say that). How can that be?
You will still be mine. You...
Okay, enough.
S-She just arrived. How do I ask her?
Is mom intending to put down her roots here?
What putting down her roots?
She don't know anyone here at all. Once she feels bored, she will go back.
- Don't think too much.- Are you sure?
I'll just help you pass! Relax.
Sleep.
Xiao Wei.
Yes, Mom. I am coming.
Why aren't you sleeping?
Why do you lock the door in your own house?
- Lala, Xiao Wei.- Hm?
Do you really think your house is like a home?
There is no spatula in the pot, no spoon in the bowl.
And the bed is uncomfortable.
What's so good about buying a beautiful and big house?
What's the point? The basic functions of a home aren't even achieved.
The guest room? Where is guest room?
Normally, no one will come, so...
I knew it.
You intentionally didn't arrange a guest room.
Why? You are afraid that I will come to live here.
- Not exactly. Mom, no.- No, no,no.
But today, right now,
I'm officially notifying you that
I am going to live here for a long time and I have decided to stay Shanghai.
Stay. Great.
Is she alright?
- She is too happy.- I am so glad.
Didn't I ask you to drying quilts?
Did you dry it?
Quilts.
- Yes, I did.- Are you okay?
She is really too happy.
I am happy.
Though you ask me to sleep in the study room
and there is a bed, is it really a bed?
That's a bed but also not a bed. Because I feel uncomfortable.
Right. That's what we were discussing when you came in.
I have ordered a bed online and it will be delivered tomorrow.
So maybe just... bear with it tonight.
You sleep with Lala and I will sleep in the study room.
What happened to her again?
She is not used to sleeping without me.
I couldn't bear him leaving. Hubby.
- Never mind.-Or I can go to sleep in the study room.
Do you think it is suitable for us to sleep together?
Don't make me sleep with mom.
Okay, okay.
I will sleep with Lala tonight.
Ok.
Hubby,
why are you still awake?
President Ye withdrew his investment.
I have to adjust the project plan.
I know why you cannot sleep.
Yes.
You want me to deal with your mother,
but I cannot deal with her at all.
Do you know how loud her snoring is?
It's like a symphony. I am not good at all. My head is going to explode.
I still have meeting tomorrow morning. If I cannot sleep well,
I won't be able to focus on work,
or sort out conference records,
or complete my job well.
If I can't do my job well, then I can't help earn money for our family.
Say...
Now do you know why I worked so hard to study abroad?
Work hard.
Sleep early, Hubby.
Lala.
Lala. Lala, wake up.
What time is it?
7:40 AM.
It's too early.
I go to work at 10 AM. I just have to get up at 9 AM.
Well, that is the time you go to work.
But what about my son's breakfast time?
He don't have to eat.
- Mom.- You don't have to prepare breakfast for Xiao Wei?
You ate the breakfast I bought for him yesterday.
You only know how to eat and don't know how to prepare breakfast?
Oh, yes. Make breakfast.
Good morning, Hubby.
- What are you doing?- Mom is coming.
- Okay, okay. What? Why?- Take it off. How do you take it off?
Xiao Wei.
Morning.
I only been here for a few days, but you let me see such a good-for-nothing scene.
You are in charge of making the breakfast daily?
Oh, no, no. It's my turn to make breakfast today.
Normally, we...
We buy our breakfast separately at the cafe. Sorry.
You wear the apron like that?
- You said cafe?- Yes.
How can you eat breakfast at the cafe?
I think it's unhealthy to eat butter and cream in the morning like those foreigners.
There's a cafe nearby which sells delicious French sandwich.
Whichever country you are from, you should have that country's breakfast.
People from China should eat warm Chinese breakfast.
A big pot of porridge, soybean milk, steamed buns,
steamed dumplings. I think eating like this...
Lala, don't tell me you don't know how to cook at all.
- She knows. She knows how to cook.- Yes, yes.
Look. Yesterday's dinner was prepared by Xiao Wei. Today's breakfast is also prepared by Xiao Wei.
When are you going to show off your skills in cooking and let me try it?
- How about tonight?- Show a hand.
- Okay.- Show two hands.
- All right.- Tonight?
Yes.
What are we having for lunch?
- Search it.- Aren't we having a welcome lunch party for Kathy Jie?
Oh, yes. Kathy Jie's welcome lunch party.
What do you want to eat. We order from Tao Dian Dian.
Hello, Lala. Have you forgotten this best friend of yours?
- When are you free to have afternoon tea with me?- If I do not have amnesia, would I forget you?
I'm busy now. I'm looking at recipes.
My mother-in-law wants to test my skills in cooking.
I have to learn how to cook at the last moment. How?
Is there spaghetti?
Don't have spaghetti. It's fattening.
How about grilled meat? It's decided.
- Let's vote to make the decision.- No. Let's ask Lala Jie.
- See what she wants to eat.- Okay. Let's go.
Grilled meat, grilled fish.
I have to put down the phone now. Work.
Hello? Hello?
Lala Jie.
- Lala Jie.- Lala Jie.- Lala Jie.
What are we having for Kathy Jie's welcome party?
- That's right. What are we having?- I want to eat spaghetti.
I want to eat grilled meat. Grilled meat. Grilled meat.
Okay. Calm down. Let me choose.
Lala Jie choose from here.
- Look at this. Grilled meat.- Hot pot is not bad.
- Okay.- All here.
- What are you talking about that makes you girls so happy?- Kathy Jie, what are we having for your welcome party?
- Take a look.- Spaghetti.- Grilled fish.
- I want to eat grilled meat.- Grilled fish.
It's like this.
Don't bother. I've already placed a reservation. It's my friend's restaurant.
It's my treat. You girls just have to attend.
Awesome!
- That's great!- Yes, yes.
Cheers!
This is so delicious. Kathy Jie, how much does this cost?
Not much. It's a friendship price. This is my friend's restaurant.
It's good that you all like it.
I brought presents for everyone too.
These are chocolate from France that my friend brought over for me.
I hope everyone likes it.
So many presents.
Lala Jie, for you.
From today onward, I'm a member of SH.
Please take care of me.
Applause, applause, applause.
Especially Lala Jie.
Me?
Lala Jie is my senior.
I have to learn a lot from you in the future.
I don't deserve it. I have to learn from you instead for spending so much on presents.
Sit, sit, sit. There's no need to be so courteous.
This place is not bad. I'm sorry, I have meetings daily and so I'm late.
General Manager Huang, this is your present.
Kathy, it is very nice of you.
Our Kathy invited us here.
Now SH's HR Department has another new employee.
Thank you, General Manager Huang.
CEO Huang, Zuo Xiao Qian and Jin Jing are our new employees as well.
Oh, yes. I have forgotten. Welcome.
Of course they are very important as well.
In the future, Xiao Qian will be with Lala, Jin Jing with Kathy.
An Wei Wei will be with Lao Zhang. I meant not them being together but in separate teams!
We have a great and successful time working together.
Come. Let's toast to a bright future for SH and ourselves.
Cheers!
It's kind of you guys.
Today, I prepared a small present for everyone as well.
There's more presents!
Everyone can use this.
This is good too.
Notebook.
- Not bad. It's practical. - Thank you.
- We shall use this in the meetings.- Thank you for this.
- Jin Jing, welcome.- Thank you Lala Jie.
Who would have thought that Kathy Jie is so generous.
Compared to the schedule book given by Lala Jie,
that seems stingy.
That's right. Schedule book.
No idea what's she's thinking. Both of them gave presents,
but Kathy Jie's present is sincere. Her's is not sincere and has bad intentions.
Bad intentions? Where did that come from?
Schedule book is to remind us
to value our time and work hard.
Oh yes, that's right. Why didn't I think of that? No wonder she can't win the hearts of people.
I like Kathy Jie better.
