Episode 3
Start.
Many taverns were located in the suburbs outside the city
because Paris was surrounded by city walls in the 18th century
so goods, like wine, could only enter through city gates and were taxed.
Therefore, wines outside the city were cheaper than those inside the city.
This is a big reason for the success of taverns in the suburbs.
I'm sorry.
Stop.
Is "I'm sorry" in the original text?
Wang Lin Lin, go to Hao Zhe's team. The three of you will be a team.
Come with me.
Mr. Cheng, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong.
Why didn't you report that you were sick?
You said I can't let work be affected by personal issues.
Isn't it affecting your work now? You will be a burden to your partner!
I won't be. I will grit my teeth and get it done.
No need.
When you're working, your body doesn't belong to you.
The Institute won't praise you for working even while you're sick.
If you don't tell superiors and an issue arises
you can't afford the consequences!
- Mr. Cheng, this won't happen next time. - There is no next time.
38.5 degrees Celsius.
I don't care how you do it.
Don't return to the training room until you're under 37.2 degrees.
If you don't show, I'll mark you absent.
Mr. Cheng, I was wrong. Don't mark me absent. Let me go in.
Don't cry! If you cry, I'll mark you twice.
You don't show, you're automatically withdrawn.
- I'm not crying. - Take it!
I can't wait any longer. I'm trying again.
It won't be that quick.
It's only been 15 minutes since you took medicine.
It takes an hour to take effect.
I can't wait anymore.
If I wait any longer, I'll be dismissed. Why did I have to get a fever now?
This won't do. I'm helping you ask him for time off.
No, no, no!
Don't go.
Look, I'm standing up. I'm fine.
I can even turn in a circle.
Don't tell the Devil.
I'm fine. You two get back to class.
Go. Don't stay here.
Go, go.
Qiao Fei?
Qiao Fei, are you here?
Qiao Fei!
Qiao Fei! Qiao Fei!
Qiao Fei!
Are you okay, Qiao Fei?
How come... How come I was sleeping?
Yes, why are you sleeping here?
I don't know. I was just...
The medicine made me drowsy and I fell asleep.
How long have I been sleeping?
How come you're still burning up?
Okay, okay, just relax. Work has been over for 30 minutes.
Mr. Cheng has taken the other interns to dinner.
He told me to come find you.
They left? Was I marked absent, then?
I didn't dare ask him. You should ask him yourself.
Since we're not at work, let's all be more relaxed.
Miss Qiao, is your fever gone?
Yes, Mr. Cheng.
Look.
Can I come to work tomorrow?
No matter how busy you are, remember to drink water.
If you are feeling unwell anywhere
remember there is a medicine kit in the office.
Thank you.
I know you guys usually call me the Devil.
But personally, I think...
I am quite friendly.
All right, stop staring.
There are no secrets at the Institute.
Okay, stop teasing them.
When we first joined, didn't we also pick a nickname for Mr. Tian?
What I want to say is
the nickname they picked is so uncreative.
I got it, Mr. Cheng.
The next time, I'll choose a creative... stage name for you.
Yes, a stage name.
Call Cheng Jia Yang the Little Lily.
Mei Mei, do you remember when we first entered the Institute?
Mr. Tian kept saying we both had a subtle accent.
Then we went to Jia Yang
and asked him how to speak perfect French.
- Do you remember? - I do.
Mr. Cheng told me with a serious face
if you want to speak like a Frenchman
first, you have to stick out your lips a little.
Then use your right hand to write the number seven...
and hold it by your shoulder.
When you speak, talk like there is always mucus stuck in your throat.
Then keep moving your hand back and forth while writing the number seven.
That's how you do it.
I think speaking like this
makes even Chinese people have a Parisian accent.
A friendly tip.
If you are excited...
you can add in your left hand.
Alternate moving both hands.
We're having such a good time today.
Why doesn't Mr. Cheng treat us to dinner?
- Good idea! - Yes!
Of course I want to treat you guys to dinner.
But children, you guys have to work.
Appetizer, main course, dessert.
With a full course, would you still have time to train?
We can start now.
Dad, why can't you trust him once?
How am I supposed to trust him?
You must be possessed.
There are so many good men, but you had to pick a fake rich boy.
Who is Gao Jia Ming?
His father was a driver, but he couldn't even drive well.
Why else would Gao Jia Ming's parents have died in a car crash?
Did you think that being raised by Cheng Si Yuan after his parents died
would make him a part of the Cheng family?
Dream on.
Cheng Jia Yang is the successor.
In the future, Cheng Si Yuan's career and money will be Chen Jia Yang's.
It doesn't matter whose son Jia Ming is and whether he has money.
I don't need those.
Yes, this doesn't have much to do with money
but you know why I don't like him.
Because he doesn't have you in his heart.
You like him and have pursued him for so many years.
For his project, you...
You actually returned home to discuss business with me!
To surprise him! But what about him?
What has he done for you?
Remember this. Gao Jia Ming doesn't have you in his heart, Wen Xiao Hua!
You are just prejudiced against him.
Jia Ming?
How come you're here?
Did Jia Yang tell you I came back?
I didn't know you were back. Well? Is it going smoothly?
I wanted to surprise you, but a problem came up.
Good thing you came today.
You can talk to my dad about your ideas.
Yes, I came to talk to Uncle about my ideas.
Uncle Wen, what kind of person do you think would
take my project and fund my competitor?
What's the matter?
The money is mine. I can spend it however I want.
I can give it to whoever I want.
Dad, don't be like this.
Xiao Hua, are you a fool?
Even if you help him finish his research he won't go to Switzerland with you.
If he did have that intention, why would he do his research within the country?
Doing his research here means he has his sights set on my money!
Gao Jia Ming, Cheng Si Yuan took care of you for over 20 years.
How come you still have the mannerisms of the middle class?
- You can tell? - Absolutely!
Uncle Wen, that's not right.
Xiao Hua's looks, personality, education, and your money are all her merits.
I chose Xiao Hua because I was attracted to those merits.
But it just so happens her wealth is her biggest merit.
Jia Ming, don't say that.
Then what should I say?
Uncle Wen has already brought up my dead father.
What else can I say?
Dad, you also watched Jia Ming grow up.
This is just how he talks. This might not be what he really thinks.
Isn't it?
Your father is sitting in his own home, being humiliated by this bastard.
Why?
I just want you to see what kind of person he really is!
Why does he dare to be so presumptuous?
From the start, he never intended on having any connection to the Wen family!
Otherwise, he would never dare!
Uncle Wen, Uncle Wen. You've been in the same spot before.
How can you be so blunt?
I am particularly willing to marry Xiao Hua for money.
I think I'll be better off, but nothing will come of it.
I am not two-faced. I am a truly bad man.
But at least I admit I am a bad person.
But you... always stabbing people in the back isn't nice.
Jia Ming, don't say anymore.
You and I can handle our own matters.
To me, there is nothing between you and I.
Only matters between my family and your family.
Have you never had any feelings for me?
Xiao Hua, can you wake up?
When have you ever heard me mention my feelings for you?
You have options too. Listen to your dad.
At least on this point, he and I can agree.
Then after all these years, what are we?
We will be together. You just have to believe in that.
We won't be together.
It's been one-sided from the start.
I never said where I stood on this.
You bastard!
Xiao Hua.
Isn't he being clear enough?
How long are you going to help him humiliate me?
There are so many good men who like you
yet you have to have him? Why are you torturing yourself?
I know what you will be saying next.
I've said what needed to be said.
Shouldn't you let me get the hell out of here?
Watch your daughter.
Every single time, she is the one who says to break up or get back together.
How can you not keep your word?
We're breaking up?
This time, we're really breaking up. This time counts.
Don't be mad. Calm down.
Jia Ming?
Jia Ming, how come you didn't call if you were coming?
Today isn't a day reserved for visiting family.
I'm not obligated to come back.
Why didn't you ask Jia Ming to stay?
You didn't even say a word.
The two of you together exceed 90 years old.
How long are you going to be stubborn?
If he wants to stay, he will.
Do you want me to beg him?
You will drive him mad sooner or later.
Jin Bao, get going.
The day after tomorrow
the China Small Enterprises Federation will be hosting French companies here.
It is an informal business reception.
The Institute will apply for you to attend as staff.
Will we be translating?
Is it a consecutive interpreting assignment?
No, senior interpreters will be in charge of
contract translation and conference interpretation.
If you see a Chinese woman and a French woman at the event
who want to talk about clothes, purses, or shoes
but have a language barrier
then you can bravely step forward and assist them.
That's like service personnel.
Service personnel can stand all night in high heels. Can you?
Don't underestimate me.
Even though it's an informal cocktail party
I request that you all dress according to
the standards of a visit from the French Prime Minister.
Everyone must be in formal wear. Women should wear light makeup.
What you wore to the interview isn't acceptable.
May we wear casual shoes?
Formal wear.
Must we wear makeup? I don't normally wear makeup.
Since you guys have chosen this profession
there will be many instances when you won't just represent yourself.
Some occasions call for makeup.
If it is out of respect, then you must wear makeup.
The makeup should fit the occasion.
You represent the country.
Why not do it next time?
Go one by one, practice individually.
Why are you having them all go out there at once?
Some might not be recruited in the end.
I don't think it's necessary.
Okay, I'll let Mr. Tian know
they might not be capable of attending this kind of event.
Don't. Give us a day to prepare.
You can assess us the next day.
If we aren't acceptable, you can disqualify us then.
- Yes. - That's right.
- Right? - Yes.
It's late already.
I need to apply and make arrangements in advance.
Then... one night.
Make an assessment tomorrow morning.
Yes, give us a chance.
Deal.
Done crying?
Dad.
Crying over Gao Jia Ming? Is he worth it?
I've looked over Zhou Nan's proposal.
It is a very nice project.
Make an arrangement for us to meet with him.
Okay.
Okay, stop. Change to the next set.
Quickly.
Hello, this is Wu Jia Yi's assistant, Hua Hua.
I'm looking for Miss Wu Jia Yi.
Are you looking for her for a movie or a commercial?
Jia Yi's schedule is very full.
I... I'm sorry. It's neither.
We met at the police station.
- I am--
Okay, okay, please wait a moment.
Miss Jia Yi, it's a call for you!
Hello? Who is it?
Hello, Miss Wu.
We met at the police station. Do you still remember?
I remember.
I would like to ask you out to dinner this weekend.
Sure, I don't have to film this weekend.
Then, let's meet tomorrow.
That's great.
I'll send the address to you later.
Okay.
By the way, what's your name?
My name is Gao Jia Ming.
So... see you tomorrow.
Gao Jia Ming! You finally called me!
You're not going to help?
Fine. If your company needs documents translated, don't come to me.
It's set, then. See you tomorrow night.
He dares to think of not helping?
Benoit?
Yes, he had the nerve to ask for a performance fee.
In his dreams. Doesn't he know it's an Institute tradition?
Let's be clear. This isn't an Institute tradition.
This is a traditional mean trick that you thought of.
How nice is this?
We don't have to worry about interns
screwing up at a formal diplomatic occasion
and we can train them.
Finding Frenchmen to pose as clients requires some money.
- Is Mr. Tian paying a portion? - Mr. Tian?
Ever since he learned I was conducting this exercise
he hasn't been bringing his wallet.
You're bringing this stress training to new heights.
There's even a fake reception?
Kids these days aren't as innocent as we were.
If there isn't an authentic setting, who would believe it?
You're wasting money.
Leave him be. It's a perverted pleasure of his.
He likes tormenting interns.
Don't you know I have a new nickname now?
The Devil.
Will this be okay?
This knot is clearly suitable for a thin silk tie.
Wasn't the knot I had before okay? It looked good.
Your Young Pioneers counselor taught you that method, right?
There are so many different methods. Why the double cross knot?
Wasn't the Windsor knot quite nice? Just the name sounds stylish already.
Last night, I tried all of the tie tying methods you can find online.
Don't forget we have a lot of recent university graduates here.
They don't know how to tie a tie.
That's why I chose
the simple and easy to learn double cross knot.
It sounds very stylish too.
Hao Zhe, just listen to Qiao Fei.
She couldn't tie a tie before. She practiced the whole night.
She did this one in one try so that's why she's recommending it.
It's done.
Okay, Qiao Fei.
Help me take a look at my makeup.
Is my makeup suitable for a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?
Close your eyes.
I'm going to kiss you.
What is that?
To you, it's like sulfuric acid.
It's makeup remover.
Look at your makeup. I'm going to change it.
- You scared me to death! - Don't freak out.
Hao Zhe.
Look at your pants.
Right here.
These are new!
All right.
Who would lift up your pant legs and see the pen marks?
This length is no longer in style.
It has to be a bit shorter so you'll look more refreshing.
Have someone adjust it for you.
It's past 8 o'clock already. The Devil will be coming soon.
We haven't discussed table etiquette yet. What do we do?
Okay, quiet down.
Now we're going to talk about the most tedious and most crucial part.
That is, table etiquette.
Everybody must be very interested, right?
- Tell us. - Come on, tell us. Don't hold back.
It's just...
when you see the dish being served...
observe it first.
Don't dig in immediately.
Observe and then...
when the people who know how to eat properly start eating, copy them.
Don't laugh! This is a very serious matter.
It's the most simple truth.
Isn't that right?
Don't be too nervous.
I'm here today to deliver course material.
I heard you were all dressed up and wanted to take a look.
The one assessing you is still Mr. Cheng.
Of course. If it were Miss Wen, we wouldn't be so nervous.
Do we pass, Mr. Cheng?
How did you do it?
That's classified.
In any case, I can guarantee that what you are worried about won't happen.
Is that so?
I'm most worried about you.
I can see everybody else's preparations.
What about you?
You are looking at my results. You're still worried about me?
If there are any...
problems you feel you can't solve
notify me at any time.
Understood, Mr. Cheng!
When is the party?
Tomorrow, 8 p.m.
Jia Ming...
I was wrong. I apologize.
I was too impulsive.
I'm not at the hospital.
I'm at the city center. It's close to everything.
It's not convenient for me.
I'm hanging up.
Honestly...
the quality of this batch of interns is much higher than the previous class.
Who are you referring to?
That girl.
So nice. So beautiful.
I seem to have seen her before.
In my dreams... and she was speaking French.
Introduce us.
All right.
- You said so. - I said so.
All right, then.
Xiao Hua, what's wrong?
I can sense you're not in a good mood.
I'm okay. I'm just a bit tired.
Jia Yang.
Let me be alone for a while.
- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
Jia Yang.
You friend and opponent has arrived.
- Hello. - Hello.
Benoit.
I'm doing you a big favor this time.
Give me a 40 percent discount on translations from now on.
You wish.
I love earning money from you unscrupulous businessmen.
Looks like I'll have to start putting together my own team, then.
Is there anybody good among your interns this time around?
You dare poach from the Institute?
Watch it, Mr. Cheng.
I'm an important French Chamber of Commerce guest
who is meeting you for the first time.
So what?
You don't have surgeries today?
Surgeries aren't as important as a beautiful woman.
Have a taste.
Have you watched the American film "Hannibal"?
There's a doctor in it who is like me, well-groomed, prim, and proper.
When he gets a day off
he will pick a business card out of a pile of clients and acquaintances
and in the end...
And what?
And he will end up having a dish of cooked human flesh on his table.
A portion that big.
That's so sick!
You're not going to eat my human flesh, are you?
I want your heart.
At last, some progress.
What is the matter?
Don't drink so much. Your liver is weak.
I'll get a cup of water for you.
Jia Yang.
I'm unhappy because I had a fight with your brother.
You don't need to mind me.
What did he do?
Do you think we're still considered a couple?
We never see each other and I'm always the one who asks him out.
But he still rejected me.
How could he be like that?
Jia Yang, I'm really sad.
Do you think Jia Ming is like this
because he knows I love him too much?
When have you ever seen me like this?
I...
I have made enough compromises for him.
Do you want me to talk to him?
No.
I don't even have any self-respect anymore.
I don't want to involve you.
Jia Yang, go do your own thing.
You're really don't have to mind me.
- With you like this, how can-- - Jia Yang.
I'm in a very bad mood tonight.
I really don't need other people to pity me.
I'm not taking pity on you.
Just let me be alone for a while.
Get out.
- Mr. Cheng-- - Don't say anything.
Don't go anywhere.
When the party is over, come find me.
Mr. Cheng, I can explain.
He wants me to work part-time for them.
Put on your seat belt.
I know the Institute has an unwritten rule
that we can't take part-time jobs during the internship
but we can after becoming a regular employee.
I think it's a good job.
- After I'm a regular member, I-- - After you're a regular member
Don't worry about other people. Don't think so highly of yourself.
Two-thirds of the interns will be dismissed in the first elimination.
The first to be dismissed will be people like you without firm objectives
who go wherever pays the most.
He just wants to meet for an interview.
If so, why meet at a hotel and at night?
I just said that offhandedly.
If it's not at night, then it's during the day, when I'm working.
Do I not go to work and go to the interview instead?
You're sure good at making retorts.
Then, you must be here for the name.
You could use the Institute's name and mislead others about you.
Or did you want to use the Institute to establish your own connections?
Why do you always think of me in a bad light?
Everything I do is wrong. Is that right?
Yes, I admit I was late and I even talked about you behind your back. I admit it.
But what about you? You poured wine on me
and got me taken to the police station. You blame me for that too?
You are a server at the winery and also my intern.
If you have any issue with me, you can leave.
My private life doesn't seem to be your business.
Rest assured.
As long as it doesn't affect the Institute
I'm not interested in anybody's private lives.
Hello, Uncle Wen.
The Institute event is over. Xiao Hua has already left.
She's not home yet?
It's nothing. Go on.
Okay. I will handle it.
Goodbye, Uncle.
You'd better hurry and ask Mr. Tian for a transfer
or wait to be eliminated by me.
Stop the car.
My house is in the Cao Jia Du direction. It's the other way.
Stop the car.
Thank you, Mr. Cheng.
Hey!
Send a text to report in when you get home.
Hey!
Hello? Who is it?
- Jia Yi?
How come you changed your number?
You're with a new boyfriend? When did this happen?
We just got together. I was just about to tell you.
If you're not busy, come hang out.
I'm at the bar.
Hurry up. I'm waiting.
All right, I'll come for a hot drink.
You have to take me home. Don't forget, friends come first.
I've said before I don't like other people using my phone.
My phone is out of battery. Can't I borrow it?
I know.
Is it because you're a doctor and afraid of missing important calls
so that's why you won't let me use it?
- It sure isn't because of that. - Then what is it?
There's no reason.
I just don't like other people looking at my things.
- Not even me? - No.
I don't like women who are too clingy.
If you can't change even this, then let's just not be together.
You!
We just got together and you're mentioning splitting?
Do you even like me?
Of course I like you. You're so pretty.
My best friend is here.
My dear, come here.
Let me introduce you.
This is the boyfriend I mentioned, Gao Jia Ming.
Jia Ming, this is the best friend I told you about, Qiao Fei.
Say hello.
Hello.
Our first time meeting. My name is Gao Jia Ming.
Stop standing around.
Order a drink. Come on.
Jia Yi, I have an emergency call from the hospital. I need to go.
Call me when you have time!
My boyfriend has long legs. He walks really fast.
Sit down.
My boyfriend is not bad, right? He's a neurosurgeon. He's rich.
